Published by The Junior Class of The Stout Institute Menomonie, Wisconsin : Fx Foreword Books — Strangers to some, mere acquaintances to others, inseparable companions to an appreciative few. A stranger has slight effect on the ex- periences we value; a mere acquaintance contributes lit- tle to the wealth in our store- house of memories; but an in- separable friend shares whole- heartedly our life of every day. May this book be true friend and companion, shar- ing with you, in future years, the memory of your college days. v ■ Contents The College Scenery Faculty Classes College Life Organizations Athletics Features Calendar Snaps Menomonie j Mimtmm J Dedication A man with a vision — of men and women — their lives guided by the spirit of learn- ing, industry, skill, and hon- or — lives on today in our midst. He lives, not merely in name, but in mankind whom he served. To the ever fuller fruition of the ideals of James H. Stout, the founder of The Stout In- stitute, we dedicate this Tower of nineteen hundred and thirty. fflTM Ik it s a s r - y A- (BISCj James H.

As the years pass, school work changes to better prepare students to meet life ' s responsibilities which in turn, through constant changes, are becoming more and more complex. New demands compel new standards of efficiency which must be attained through more expert guidance in curricula and the correlation of content to meet contemporary vocational demands. Leaders in Education must as surely be able to read the teaching nerds of the future as it is neeess;iry fo the manager of in- dustry to predict the direction and character of development in Ins field. Those are essentials in the professional and in the business relations of human activity. Hut more important than any of these considerations is the personality of the individual. That must not be overlooked in any study of the elements of success. The study of his own conduct in its relation to Ins associates and to the area in which he is working has so much to do with the determination of the value of all preparation leading up to the present in his experience, that it should be made a daily consideration. To fit in, to be appreciated, to be esteemed, depends more upon personality than upon the degree of preparation. Personality can be improved and developed and enriched as certainly and as definitely as any other of the worthwhile virtues. Burton Edsel Nelson, President Pag rJ to n t; R l 9 3 o Id in !

I ' ve traveled o ' er many a mile of endless plain. But I ' «l leave all these places With the very best of graces, If I could have my marshes hack again. For there ' s something in the marshes, And it seems to call and thrall me, No matter where my footsteps chance to roam. There ' s the salty breeze that ' s stinging And the long marsh grass that ' s whining. And all that means hut one thing And that ' s Home. With the moonlight nn the river. Making marshes quake and quiver. And the tide swell softly lapping on ymir hoat. Vim forget your haste and hurry. Vim forget your care and worry. And all yiiii want to do is just to float. Just to float en through the passes, ' Tween the long and bladelike grasses, And at night-time hear the sea-gull scream above. Just to Bee all nature waking. At the time the young day ' s breaking. Wakes a feeling in your heart that ' s kin to love. Tin re the tired, sick, and weary find a comfort for their souls; Tiny live a life they ' ve never known before Just to have the marshes ' feeling Softly, quietly, o ' er me stealing, Would be wealth enough for me, Though I be poor. i ' _ ' ' t I may travel to the cities of the countries near and far, And perhaps along life ' s highway I may stray. But when I ' m weak and weary Anil my whole outlook is dreary. I ' ll come hack to my marshes, There to stay. — Louise Whitehurst ' 30 wmmm M mm: ' mw in wmsssm. Honors in Scholarship for 1929 AT Commencement time eight students were the recipients of college honors. The Eichelberger Scholarships were awarded t two men and to two women of the Junior class on the basis of scholarship, personality, future possibil- ities, social attitude, and value t the school. Ruth Dodge, Henrietta Sievert, Hil- bert Wyatt. and Charles Strong each received the award of one hundred dollars. The custom initiated in 1928 oi giving honors to the two Freshmen ami the two Sophomores who ranked highest in scholarship in their respective classes was again observed. Those who were honored thus were Doris Henry and Carl Beinert of the Freshman class and Eleanor Overby and Ernest Christensen of the Sopho- more class. for Pate o i«m ii iu mm% SENIORS §mw m wmmM Seniors THOUGH we are leaving, we are not forgetting The Stout Institute; it will be ur responsibility to be worthy of our Alma Mater and to prov that her teaching has not bei n in vain. This responsibility! too, will be ours, to show our loyalty to our college by forwarding her interests and making her better known. W hen graduation days bring to a close our college career, which to u has ;.n era of happiness and friendship, contentment and joy, we as the Senior Class of The Stout Institute will not have ended our intimate associations. Though we ma be separated by miles of spa .U our paths may reach forth to varied horizons, that bond that held us in close companionship as students together, will not have perished, but will continue to bring to us more joys in frequent and happy reminiscences of the days spent in our Alma Mater. — Learning, Skill, Industry, and Honor emblazoned in Btone as tli ideals upon whirh lias been built our Alma Mater !ia ' been followed faithfully and seientiously by the Senior Class. May the perpetuation Of the spirit of this cri- terion of knowledge as exemplified in the activities Of our class, individually and collectively, have its ultimate beneficial effect upon the younger members of the student body. It has been our sincere hope that we have contributed to the lasting welfare Of this institution, and in our meager way have, i aptly said, left foot- prints on the sands of time.

That we have had our full quota of honor students, athletes, and embryo jour- nalists shows that our attempts have not been in vain. We, for the first time, have take.) over the full responsibility of the 7 and cherish the hope that we have not proved unworthy of the honor. We have one full year more in which to prepare for the COming of our Com- mencement in its true sense; we have, in addition to rounding out our college ca- reers. tc strive for perfection.

The fall of 1929 found the same group, striplings no longer, ready for the added duties and increased responsibilities of full-fledged sophomores. Aware of the advantages of early and thorough organization, the class was the first to choose its officers and prepare for the year ' s routine of class activities. Notable among these activities was the wary watch maintained by the vigilance committee. Many a repentant freshman rued the day he so wantonly ignored the mandatory decrees laid down by the Mighty Sophomores. The varied list of clashes between the traditional enemies proved disastrous to the underlings in every instance. The class of 32 displayed a fine interest in all school activities. Their par- ticipation in the work of every school organization proved a credit both to the class and to the school. In athletics, the students, who had shown their mettle already during their freshman year, readily obtained some of the most coveted positions on the school ' s representative teams. It is our desire, in every way, to augment the spirit of Stout, and to make our- selves an integral part of the organization which constitutes the Stout Student Bodv. ifr.,r §fcm «W_ Pate so TOWER I 3 i ■ s -:. i [?

I ' d like to forget all about books And enjoy myself, baiting a few hooks. I ' d like to sit in an old rocky boat And down the river with the current float. And east a pale yellow plug as I pass Leaning willow and hook a nice bass. What better sport coiild any man wish ThfliB landing ;i slick, slim, silvery fish, And see him flipping in the net, Then wonder how many more he can get ? I like to feel the jerk of a strike And pull in the victim and find it a pike. And have a variety in my creel, Among them, occasionally, a slippery eel. What kind of food makes a better dish Than gome nicely browned, fried fish? That ' s enough to make a man sing. Whether he be peasant, merchant, or king. This day ' s sport is not nearly done, I or I ' d have to tell it to everyone. And when I ' m an old man, I can blow How I used to catch them years ayo. I prefer a warm day when skies are blue And the northwest wind has dried the dew, And hear the birds singing from the trees, While they swing gently in the breeze. Who wouldn ' t like such a day. tell me, Winn 1 a man can forget his misery. Trials, temptations, and daily strife. And think of the better tilings of life? -Harry Fhinoeh ' 29 Pat 54 |psm ii m FRESHMEN Si 7 O If E 1 The Freshmen WE entered Stout in the fall of 1929 and put on our green caps and tarns, but only because we bad been told before we donned them that this was a good way of recognising one another and of getting acquainted. Some of us bee ouainted too quickly and for the fir- t time in a number of y.ars the Prosh showed they weren ' t bo green or angelic! It happened that our vocal chords didn ' t produce such a bleat as was expected. So, we weren ' t the goat this time. What: You say the Frosh girls look pretty nice to your Yes, It ' s true: you can ' t deny it. because we noticed that the upperclassmen have been admiring the Frosh girls. A- we see it. it s just another case of such popularity must be deserved. We have tried our best to help uphold the honors of our school, ant! we ' ve showing a willingness to work and a firm respnt for our instructors; we feel that we have made a successful start and that our first year has been a tar better one than anyone hut the Frosh themselves can realize. .Just a glance at us. the Freshmen, will suffice to show that a mightier rlass than [ass of 88 • rer entered Stout. We contributed men to both tin- football and basketball teams. Many of our number hold prominent places in the different organisations of the school. We. as a class, have been noted for our Pep and hope to show our spirit in the classroom and athletic affairs not only at Stout, hut also in our professional lives. We realise that the fellowship of man with man is of inestimable value ami that the acquaintances of our college career will form lasting bonds, treasured memories which will be an enduring source of much pleasure. Campus - has done much to extend our circle of friends; rOOting at an athletic ion test, talking in friendly groups, or having a jolly good time at the week dances, each has had its part in making our school life more enjoyable and complete. 4 y «K A jA C 930AI jRoor r3o £ S rwov AR Cvoi.o MCAffHODY Q.3rAst3Tcn GJohk oh ; !L x« UWak CHcno KM,llcr CWSao MJ.Dooso GBnvAis, r I ' ■ ttctvotricxw HBut. 3 ALrnus-f N IVa  0 £ A ' c Oi. : PBom t v wvc M.K c n HOf4 C.N VTA DtiADlit N EGiLLI9 LMHuaON BCANA.T3CY Pose 57 J0 .Fio c Wear WMpoom A.£ toa7a v ER099 ' outmc n t J UrtA.f t ton HH ftRiaoN EAhdcrsoh EVcacm Ik HI l . •■ Mf7rzn Tf iCK n.OsaooG (IR099 HHowc MCmohguut n Page jS 1 9 3 fOlE Ef-tTC 30r ELRnseNTLDT D -J3MAJ Af ft run .- or A.

In the course of the play the audience is introduced to a highfalutin irirl who marries a young plumber-architect who conns to repair the water pipes; the girl feels that the plumber understands her because he has read her hook and lias sworn to marry the author. As a result of the girl ' s marriage, there are family diffi- culties which develop into many humorous complications. As a whole, the play portrays rather realistically various types of characters.

Bl ' liRIDCrK The Trainers NEXT y.ar, the teams will he composed of experienced men with plenty of weight and speed. Last season, reserve strength was larking and. due to an inexperienced team, the season was only fair. The greater majority of the players were seeond year men. There were no easy games: Stout met some of the strongest teams in the Conference and showed up fairly well against them. Syl Paulus. our last year ' s coaeh. will not be back with us next season. He has left the coaching game and is now with a Chicago business concern. Mr. Paulus put in three hard seasons with the Trainers, touching both football and basketball, besides handling the gym classes. Much credit is due him. for he put his ||,art ami soul into liis work and did bifi beat with ulint In- lutd to work with. To Mr. Paulus we wish the best of luck and success in his new work.

Spring practice began the middle of April anil lasted until the close of school, The team was put through hard practice so that next year they could start right in on plays. We hope to see a fine squad turned out under Mr. Burbidge. To Mr. Keith a vote of thanks is due. It has been bis job to handle the financial side of our athletic program.

Review of the Season T I IF. first game of the season opened at Winona where the Trainers locked horns with the Winona Teachers. It was a hard fought game, but weight and experience began to tell. After the final whistle- Stout Unwu itself at the. short end nf the- score, 12-0. The next week saw the Trainers tackle- the Terrible Swedes from Ouatavna Adolphus. This was Stout ' s first experience at night football. The team sat in a pouring rain for a half hour while the Gustaviis bojfl were rounded up from their dates and dumped into their oilskins; then the game started. The Trainers lu-lel them for three quarters, but what can eleven men do against forty: Schmidt, Fnrdhani, and all the- team fought hard; they had to; there was no he-]]) from tin- sidelines. After the men had rolled around in the mud for a couple of hours with no substitutions having been made, the game ended in another downpour of rain, ( ,ict,i n.s winning .j I 0, 7 o n i We took on I.a Crosse the following week. This was a disheartening game. With the kick-off 1 1 - Trainers carried the ball to the La Crosse goal line, but inex- perience and a blocked punt gave the La Crosse aggregation the lead. The whole game Bee sawed back and forth, La Crosse gradually forging ahead n the breaks to a score of 25-0. Lead by Black Alphonse, River Palls ' crashing fullback, the Red Men turned nark the Blue Devils to the tune 21-0. In plain English, the River Falls team was just too much for the weakened Stout team. Mac Morrison and Rude v r - both out of this game on account of injuries. You know what happens to one whole side of the tine when those two men are out. O ' Connell showed up great in that game. The team gave their best, but it could not stop the Red Men. River Falls had a great team and deserved the championship. The highly touted Superior aggregation came south to play us; they did. The first half ended as a toss-up, Superior holding a one point had. This was the first game the Trainers had played on their home field; so they fought all the harder. The student body backed them nobly, as this was the Homecoming game. The second hall began with the crowd and players at fever heat. The Trainers held up until the beginning of the last quarter, but the continual pounding by the Superior backfield began to tell. Superior took advantage of this and sent in mon fr.sh nun. The SCOW doesn ' t matter; it was somewhat lopsidrd : but the game was awarded to us on a forfeit, l to . It seems Superior wasn ' t very selective in picking its backfield. The Eau Claire game ended the season. This was the high light of the football si ason. Th - two teams were evenly matched and fchey were old rivals. The game was hard fought from start to finish, first one side in the shadow of the goal, then the other. The whole tram played the game, eleven stars all outstanding. The whistle brought the scoreless game to a close. Twenty-two men walked slowly off tht field in the twilight as the curtains iviini down on the 1929 Football Season. Page 11$ 4 SWEDE FORDHAM This tras Fordham ' s first year on the squad. He has two more rears of conferi nee competition ahead of him and we look to see him as an all confi rence half b tore he finishes here. Fordham played i all the games as ■ regular and play d well. He is a good ball carrier and -i fine defence man. He will bear watching next season. KEITH PENS Penn held down the pivot posi- tion this season. Although he is a newcom .• to Stout, he i an old hand at the game, having played two years at North Dakota. There orere few plays that got through the •inter of the line when Penn was in he game. HANK- HARMON That great, big, strong, plunging fullback from Eau Galle! Hank «an really hack up a line of defence or carry the ball. n- could B tell when Harmon was in I tor there was always plenty of fight and pep. Hank lias two more ons and great | ossibilitics ahead or him. FRANK SOVASCONE Frank played a tackle position. With Mac Morrison on one sid oi the line and Sovascone on the other a coach has two men that Ik well be proud of. This is Novas- cone ' s last year at Stout, and we wish him success wherever he may go. CARL HOERNEMAN Hoerneman played quarterback and handled the tram fairly well. This was his Hr t year on the regular squad and due to Micheels being hurt, the position was forced on him. Carl is a fast back and did some nice playing in all the games. DEKE S HMIDT Deke was our utility man. play inj- all positions equally well. Some of the time he was used in the hack field and Bometimes in the line. Deke didn ' t say much, but he was right there with the old fight. RUSTY WAI.I.IN Rusty was one of the wing men; he played end. At times he was called hack to do the passing or kicking. Wallin has one more season of conference football, so next year he will be back with us. JOHN RUDE A cleaner player, a better sports- man, and a harder fighter never played football for Stout. The gridatera exhibited their esteem of Rude by electing him captain of the team. Rude played cm! this m and ranked with the best in the conference. He baa one more rear of foothall. t o n ' BUD MICHEELS Bud played quarter and proved to be a clever little ricld general. Early in the season he was out with an injured ankle; • he c 1 ■ 1 not gel into ::!I t t!:- Although he was small in stature, he took a big part in every play. RUGGED KUBE Kube was a tower of strength on tin- offensive and also on the defen sive. N« t many plays ever ran over his side of the line with any ap- preciable gain. Kube will be back with us next year to help form that winning t- LU PAULUS Lu is an all-around man; he did all the kiekinjr tor US this year, besides playing a great game at end. Lu was hurt early in the season. having several ril s fractured, hut that didn ' t stop him. Alter a couple of weeks he was hack better than ever. This is Lu ' s third year. TEDDY BIELECK1 Bielecki started out as center but was shifted to guard where he plaved •i good game. Bielecki played foot- hall here several seasons ago; now he is giving the VOUng8ter8 the rim- points on just how it is done. Mercury with his winged feet was no faster stepper than Brownsey. Brownsey played at half -mil there was no faster man on the field. Witli another season of experi nee he will be as good • ' ball carrier as any man thai lias ever ironc • Stout. GORDON O ' CONNELL O ' Connell played •• tackle or end position. In tin- River Falls game he showed up fine, smearing play after play. O ' Connell has two jnore seasons of play. HARRY WOLFGRAM Wolfgram played u;:ard and plny- ed it well. This i his second on tin squad; next s :i on lie will be back to form the nucleus for the new line. JEFF (HONK .left came up from last year ' s Freshman squad; by the end of the on was performing lik 1 a an. Cronk played guard and - ped many a nifty buck by just put- his weighl against the op ponentS line. Jeff has two more years of play. Our Cheer Leaders OUTSTANDING in tin- 1929-80 season of Stout ' s competitions are the three cheer Nadirs. The Rooter King for the year was Kill Gardiner, with liis two able assistants, Eddie Canatsey and Lawrence Sauter. These boys have shown real Stout fight and pep. They have been right there when it came to giving a yell. Kill Gardiner is a Junior who has been one of the cheer Leaders for the past three years. Lawrence Sauter tried his hand as a cheer leader this year for the first time. Some of his ideas at the basketball games brought a good laugh from the crowd. We hope he is back with us next year. Eddie Canatsey, the Frosh of the team, performed like a veteran. This year, for the first time, the school lias awarded the cheer leaders letters. All of them received letters for their good work. They ' ve been a peppy bunch and we are proud of them. Pace nS Leon H Captain Elect Basket-Bali { V Review of the 1930 Basket-Bail Season UNDER Coach Burbidge the Stout team developed into a nicely working quin- tet. The first game of the season opened here just after the Christmas holi- days. St. Paul Luther College met tin- Blue Devils at the Armory. Both of the two game series were long drawn-out affairs. There were only occasional hursts of speed. Stout drifted along, piling up a safe score; the final results of the two game series were 81-12 and v 24. The first conference game Opened with River Falls. The Falls men wire a little too fast for us; they won hoth games, •_ ' ! j i and 25 24. This game gave the students a chance to see the conference champs in action. Superior took a trip down to look over tin- Stout team. Superior was a smooth Working outfit, no taster than our men. hut their men seemed to have a better e e lor the basket. Perhaps Lady Luck helped them a bit. Burosj Haase, and Pordham played a great game for us that night. Buros played as though he had something against his home towners. The score gave them the games.

I. a Cross - came over and after a good look at us decided that tin- two game series was to he theirs. It was really a treat to sec them play. Their forward is on of tii - l rst iu tin- Conference. From start to finish, they proved they could play real basketball. Tin- scores were 24-14 and :{:{-18. A week later we played Stevens Point. Both games were played out of town. The games were ours though the scores looked close. : s 84 gave us a win. Our old traditional rivals from Kan Claire split the series with us. Kan Claire winning the first game, 27-24. Tin- first game was played there. Dodo Johnson wasn ' t here to promote his Special: so only a few of us saw that game. The ne t Week-end EaU Claire came here. This was the grand finale of the season. The armory was packed with I ' .au Claire and Stout rooters. From the starting whistle. it was nip ami tuck. Slowly Stout began to forge ahead hut couldn ' t hold for long. The half ended with a slight advantage for us. Coach Burbidge had things to say to the team during the half, for when they took the Hoor at the beginning of the second half they put all into the name.

Its liistory reveals a long train of accomplish- ments in this particular in tin twenty-five years that it has been an active force ' fur the betterment of the industrial and business life of the community. Tin Menomonie Commercial Club eamc into being in 19Q; . It was fathered by Senator James H, Stout, who foresaw the mid of a civic group of this nature as an agency through which the civic needs of the city could find expression and supply the machinery for action that would bring about improved conditions and contribute to the betterment of Menomonie. Senator Stout was its first president and continued to take a keen interest in the organization until his death. No other factor bftfl done more to create a feeling of fellowship among the business men of Menomonie than the Commercial Club. It lias brought new in- dustries to Menomonie. It has done much to help those that were already here. It is on the constant lookout for factories that will add to the industrial prestige of the city. The Commercial Club was instrumental in getting a new Omaha depot for Menomonie in 1905 and about four years ago helped in a realization of the project to abandon the old Milwaukee depot and have a modern depot on another site. It has been a leader in furthering highway development of Dunn county, with the result that its well-direeted efforts have brought about a marvelous improvement in road transportation facilities, making Dunn county one of the outstanding counties in this part of the state in this respect. Tin- Menomonie Commercial flub has done much to bring about a community of interest between the town and country people. Following along this line the elub has been consistently back of the development of the community as a dairy center. As a result Dunn county ranks as one of tin- top counties of the state in l.utterl ' at production. The club sees a still greater future for the dairy industry here and is constantly on the alert to enlist the help of any agencies that will en- hance this development. The Commercial Club was tin- impelling force that eventually cleared the city ' s business streets of telephone and electric wires and has been bark of several paving projects that have resulted in permanent street improvements. Summer band concerts every week in Wilson park, where thousands of people from town and country gather on Tuesday evenings, were the direct result of the interest and activity of the Commercial Club. Movements that have meant much in raising the standard of the community ' s health have always been ardmtly pushed by the Commercial Club. The elub has an ever-lengthening list of such projects to its credit, including advertising the city ' s advantages, investigation of tin re- sources of Menomonie and surrounding territory and other useful work in the pro- motion of public welfare i. The business affairs of the club are manned by a directorate of eleven, drawn from the business and professional held of the city, and the elub personnel is com- prehensive with a membership of more than one hundred and fifty. Gilbert Nerby. Menomonie manager of the Northern States Power Company, is president of the group and through his guidance the elub is living up to its traditions of achieve- ments in making Menomonie ' a more 1 inviting place in which to live, a community that has a forward attitude that keeps pace with the rapid changes in the business and industrial field of today. To the Commercial Club, Menomonie owes much, because the Commercial Club lias done much for Menomonie. Page 160 T O W K H I 9 Menomonic THE late Senator James H. Stout, lumberman, pioneer in education, and prom inent citizen  f Mcnomonie, was the founder of the famous school thai car rics his name. Mr. Stout was a man of far vision and philanthropic tcndcn cies. He had an intense and generous interest in the welfare of humanity. He loved the boys and girls and they loved ami admired him. It may be said thai his later life was diligently devoted to the unfolding of an idea that had for its purpose the practical braining of the mind and hand of the young people. The school had its beginning in 1890 in a small way and from that time until his d.ath iu 1910 Mr. Stout ' s educational activities grew in interest and widened in scope with the development of The Stout Institute. Mr. Stout ' s efforts in the Bervice of education brought him to the front in a conspicuous way in Wisconsin, and as th school grew his work came into national prominence. o sketch of his life in brief space can do justice to the man and his service to humanity. He gave unsparingly, unselfishly of his time, thought, and monej to the upbuilding of tin school that he had conceived for the promotion of learn ing, skill, industry, and honor. ' ' Mcnomonie, home of Tin Stout Institute, claims marked advantages from many viewpoints. ot only is it known throughout the Country as a city of educational initiative, but it is commanding increasing attention for other excellent reasons.

Among the industries which support tliis thriving community, agriculture must l « accorded first position.

The truth of Emerson ' s statement is well illustrated here in Mcnomonic. Because of Senator Stout ' s position on the Hoard of Education of the Menomonie Public Schools, the shadow took shape and grew into the present Stout Institute Ii was to the Public Schools that Senator Stout first turned his attention an d it was in them that many of his progressive ideas were worked out. There is still reflect- ed in the Public Schools much of the early progress which was developed when ideas new in educational thought were put into practice here. The schools are organised along the lines suggested by the best modem prac- tice into the senior high school, a junior high school, the intermediate and elcmen tarv grades, and kindergarten. The senior high school comprises the l )th. 11th. and 1 2th grades and lias ahout 802 students. The junior high school comprises the 7th. 8th, and 9th grades and has ahout 802 students. As proof of the quality of the high BChool work we point to the fact that the school is on the accredited list of the North Central Association of Colleges. This rating allows its graduates to enter without examination any college or university in the eighteen states comprising the Association. Pagt ' 66 i I K On the whole Menomonie Public Schools are ■ decided credit to the city. They could be better schools; in fact, a virile public sentiment will make them better Schools each year.
