Annual Publication of THE STOUT STUDENT ASSOCIATION THE STOUT INSTITUTE Menomonie, Wisconsin Air View of The Stout Institute The IQ-fQ The Stout Institute A Wisconsin State College M- ± ouw Menomon e, Wisconsin Louis Burmeister, Editor in Chief Herbert Watanabe, Editor Russell Gerber, Associate Editor Torval Hendrickson, Business Manaser Dr. Guy Salyer, Staff Advisor Mr. Dwight Chinnock, Business Advisor Mr. Thomas Fleming, Literary Advisor Foreword As the Tower clock ticks away, another year has passed forever. Into the past has gone every - thing but memory of all that happened during the hours, the weeks, the months of study; gone too are the activities that comprise the year now ending. And for all of us, a year of remembrances has become an integral part of our lives. Just as incidents which occurred in classrooms will not depart from us, so scenes of the campus, and all we associate with them, will remain forever a part of our memories. This is your Tower. With camera and pen we have tried to capture and record for you those carefree college days to which at some future time you will long to return, if only for an hour. Another scholastic year is done with, and at the same time another Tower has been produced, following months of work and preparation. Sighs of relief by students, glad that their studies are finished for a time, are echoed by the students who, in addition to their studies, have managed to publish a yearbook. The compilation of a yearb x)k is a thankless task at best. Therefore, we urge you to view this publication with an open mind, to be not hasty in appraising the net results, to be not hesitant in o(Tering approval. With trepidation, the staff presents the 1949 Tower, for the pro- motion of. Learning. Skill. Industry, and Honor. Alma Mater On the hanh s of Lab e Menomin.

Dedication In past years. The Tower, by custom, has dedicated its annua] publica- tion to some past or present member of the faculty in appreciation of his or her services. However this year, we, the members of The Tower staff, would like to dedicate this book to the hundreds of teachers whom this institution has graduated into the held of education to better provide the youth of America with a knowledge which will aid them in attaining the best, both spiritually and materially, which life has to offer. These men and women have been truly superb salesmen, both of the Stout Institute and of educa- tion itself. Every college or university requires of its students, as an integral part of their scholastic preparation, a certain amount of loyalty, cooperation, and pride in its standards: it desires from them too a unified school spirit of the type that throughout their lives builds traditions, strengthens foundations, and secures the future of any institution of learning. A teacher who can broaden and enliven a wealth of intellectual experience with the sparkling freshness so desirabk- to young people needs no more to win the admiration of those students and thus guide and inspire them for all time. For the promotion of Learning, Skill, Industry, and Honor 7 SENATOR JAMES H. STOUT SENATOR JAMES H. STOUT Founder of Stout Institute A Brief History of Stout Inspired by an exhibit in Manual Training and Domestic Science seen at the Philadelphia Exposition of 1876, Mr. fames H. Stout, at that time actively engaged in lumbering in the region near Menomonie. decided that he would like to build a school which emphasized the vocational type of education. The first building erected by Mr. Stout contained two rooms in which the boys and girls of Menomonie received be- ginning instructions in manual training and domestic science. Bench work courses in wood and mechanical drawing, and courses in sewing, dressmaking, and clothing were offered. However, interest grew to such an extent that this building was not large enough for all those who wanted the training, and so in 1893. Mr. Stout erected a larger building, costing $100,000, to be used for this new type education. Disaster struck in 1897 when the new building burned to the ground. How- ever. Mr. Stout was undaunted. His dream of a new education was so intense that before the ruins of the buildings were cold, he had succeeded in gaining support of the city of Menomonie in erecting a new high school building with the proposition that whatever sum the city invested in that building, he would duplicate in a building for Manual Training. Work on the new building, known as the I.E. building, was started immediately after the fire and completed the same year. In 1903. The Stout Training School for teachers in manual training and domestic science was or- ganized. When it opened in September 1903, two students were enrolled for manual training and twenty- three for domestic science. Mr. Lorenzo I). Harvey, formerly state superintendent ot public instruction C8] in Wisconsin, was elected first President of the school, which up until 1908 was under the nominal con- trol of the Board of Education of Menomonie. But in that year the Stout Institute was incorporated and control was placed in the hands of a Board of Trustees. Following Mr. Stout ' s death in 1911, Mrs. Stout deeded the Stout Institute, free of all encumbrances, to the State of Wisconsin. In 1913. President Harvey succeeded in getting the state legislature to appropriate funds for the trades building, which was constructed that year. President Harvey succeeded also in getting the legislature to appropriate funds for the Home Eco- nomics building, which was constructed in 1916. It was during the time of Mr. Harvey ' s presidency at Stout that the school became a four-year college, with the first four-year class being graduated in 1918. In the intervening years, the Stout Institute has grown from the tiny enrollment of 2 s students in 1903 to the all-time high enrollment of 92 l students in September, 1948. Such progress is indeed a tribute to fames H. Stout, a great man who believed in education for the promotion of Learning. Skill. Industry, and Honor! ■ C93 Administration DR. VERNE C FRYKLUND President The Stout Institute I)r, ' i.rm C. I ' kvki.inu was graduated from The Stout Institute in 1916; in 1945 he returned again this time as the third president of the college. From the University of Minnesota, President Fryklund received his Doctor of Philosophy degree; from the Uni- versity of Missouri, the Master of Arts; and from Colorado State College of Education, the Bachelor of Arts. President Fryklund is a man of many achievements. He has established himself as the author of several hooks and many other writings relating to Industrial and General Education. He is also a veteran of the two World Wars. In October, 1947, President Fryklund was decorated by the War Department with the Legion of Merit. During the Second World War, Dr. Fryklund was Director of Teacher Training in the Armored Force School at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Later he served as Chief of Civilian Training in the Army Air Forces, with offices in Washing- ton, D. C. His concluding military assignment was in the office of the Air Surgeon, where he organized the education program for the convalescent hospitals of the Air Forces. He was discharged as a Lieutenant-Colonel, and since then has been raised in rank to a Colonelcy in the United States Army Reserve, with assignment to the General Stall Corps. In the summer of 1948, President Fryklund was sent by the United States Go ernment on a mission to Japan where he established certification standards and four-year curricula for Japanese vocational teachers. Under Dr. Fryklund, modernization of The Stout Institute has been taking place, and a building program will be begun in the near future. Improvements already completed include remodeling of laboratories and shops, completion of the Student Union, provision of a large veterans ' housing development, expansion of the faculty, and installation of a faculty salary schedule. Building plans visualize a new library as soon as funds are provided by the legislature. Streets intersecting the cam- pus will be removed and a field house, women ' s dormitory, and other additions are contemplated. C12D Presidents Message nl .V ut Inst the stout Institute vENOMONIC. WISCONSIN erriec or tut  «i i i t MTiluaO Mil !«■■ June 1, 1949 To the Class of ' 49 The Stout Institute Progress, whether It be made by an individual or an institution, is evidence of the vitality , growth, and usefulness of the person or organization which has advanced. As I contemplate the achievements of the Class of 1949 and of the college in which its members have been a vital part, I feel that both can say with- out misgiving that they have truly progressed. You, the members of the Class of 1949, can look upon your endeavors of the past four years as time and effort spent in a manner worthy of the precious opportunity which has been yours. Your development has indeed been progress: you came to us as learners, eager for knowledge; now you leave us as college -trained persons, eager to impart that knowledge to others. And progress is ever-continuing. There will always be about you the opportunity to press onward in your search for the Improvement of self, of your chosen vocation, of your nation, and of all mankind. If your college is to train graduates capable of progress, it too must be constantly advancing. Your faculty has done its share by providing you with the best possible instruction. The remodeling and re-equipping under way in the laboratories and shops is again evidence that your college strives always to keep pace with the ever-broadening needs of its students. Yes, vitality and growth and usefulness are evident in the college careers which you are completing. Their presence in the college too is evidenced by the ever- enlarging student popula- tion which comes to the campus. 3ut progress is ceaseless ir. its demands. To you falls the responsibility for constant enhancement of the skills and knowledge gained at this college; to us falls the obligation to keep that college great. Sincerel 4 -j Verne C . Frykjpand President C 33 Our College CLYDE A. BOWMAN came to the Stout Institute in 1919, starting as director of the two-year training school. Through diligent work he succeeded in the establishment of the four-year industrial education cur- riculum at Stout. Because of his active spirit in education, it is natural that he has been a leader in keeping the courses here at Stout abreast of the times, even during the rapid changes brought on by the war. Dean Bowman has aided greatly in the development of the graduate program, which offers every student a chance to increase his educational opportunities at Stout. Through his ability as an executive, teacher, and writer. Dean Bowman is recognized as a leader among the teachers of industrial education. He is truly a friend of all students at Stout. CLYDE A. BOWMAN Dean of the Division of Industrial Education ALICE J. KIRK Dean of the Division of Home Economics DEAN KIRK as dean of the Division of Home Economics, Dr. Alice J. Kirk is in constant contact with all persons at Stout whose field is Home Economics. She has given much valuable aid to the college since she became a member of the faculty in September. 1947. Dean Kirk received her Doctor ' s degree and Master ' s degree at Columbia University, and her Bach- elor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Kirk ' s occupational activities have not been confined to college work only. She has served as di- rector of Home Economics at R ochester Institute of Technology. Rochester. New York; Russell Sage Col- lege, Troy, New York: and the University of Denver, Denver. Colorado, For seven years she was regional director for the national organization of the Girl Scouts.

Learning Deep within the mind is a tiny mote of fire that, feeding on the fuel of life, keeps burning ever higher. True learning is a tiny ember, blazing golden bright, whose heat and power rising, spreading through the night, Will strike the lamp of knowledge, then finding there a mate, will burst into a flame. For it is learning ' s fate to burn the bonds of ignorance, the light of love release and flood the world with radiance to point the way to peace.

The registration booth, using a modern design structure, carried out the homecoming theme of progress. Our float in the homecoming parade was a derrick portraying the rise to a higher level of education. We held a get-acquainted party for the fresh- men at Riverside Park, where we went all out serving steaks with all the trimmings. The rest of the year we high-lighted by serv- ing Christmas cookies and orange punch at the annual Christmas dance, by having professional meetings, and by our Senior Banquet in the spring.

Decorating the gym and armory tor the homecoming dance was the first junior class activity. Both build- ere transformed into attractive ballrooms through the ingenuity and hard work of many class members. In addition to decorating the dance halls in keeping with the homecoming theme StoutenniaL the Juniors entered a homecoming float in the parade. The important event of the year for the Jun- ior class was sponsorship of the annual Spring Prom. The unique decorations, the result of hours of diligent effort by class members, made this dance one of the unforgettable memories of the 1948-49 year. As a fitting climax to an activity-packed year, in May the Juniors held an informal picnic with food, tun, and fellowship supreme. :: w :.

One of their first assigned ac- tivities for the year was decorating Menomonie streets, during homecoming, with many color- ful signs, banners, and displays. Apart trom their regular duties, they also entered in the Homecoming parade a float in the shape of a large football. During the pre-Christmas season, class meni- bers were responsible for transforming tin g into an attractive winter scene tor the annual Christmas dance. Their ingenuity was shown also when they held another social dance in April. The picnic in the spring, with a flourish of hot-dogs and beverages, brought to a close a most successful sophomore year at Stout.

Alter its election of officers in Scptemhcr, the ambi- tious members of the class of 52 immediately put their heads together and made plans for Homecoming, The biggest job, traditionally designated to the freshmen, was to build the bonfire at the fairgrounds. Trucks were obtained and the freshman fellows set out to col- lect wood, railroad ties, rubber tires, hay, and other bric-a-brac for the fire. The night before Homecoming, the pile was guarded in shifts, and the workers were rewarded with hot coffee and sandwiches served to them by the girls on coffee detail. The bonfire was very high and skillfully con- structed, and as the heat of its leaping flames warmed the crowds of spectators attending the traditional tire, the freshmen felt a glow of satisfaction, knowing that their first job done as a class had been successful. The second test of class ability was the Freshman Class Homecoming float, built on the theme Let ' s Hear Down on 1-a Crosse. It featured a huge bear gnash- ing his teeth into the form of a La Crosse football player. As a third and equally glorious example of their cooperative and industrious spirit, the freshmen cleaned up after the homecoming dance. Yes, the class of ' 52 happily looks ahead to three more years of hard work, accomplishment, fun, and companionship. C502 5m W Ao«. W,l« m N Bnmcr. Kenneth Amctvcit, Allen Ellingson, Bonita Brand,.

Through the SSA, each student receives a weekly Stoutonia. an annual Tower, and an activity ticket which affords him admission to all music, athletic, lyceum, assembly, and social events. The activities of the SSA this year have been many mu varied. The all-school mixer during the first week of school initiated a full social program for the year. The SSA solicited the help of all school organizations in setting up a schedule of weekly all- school activities. In addition to events scheduled by individual classes and organizations, the SSA organized the Stoutennial Homecoming, the Christmas dance, the mid-semester mixer, and the Senior Frolic. Twice each month the SSA scheduled student .isvunhh programs, hi addition to the responsibilities ol the SSA. the officers form the executive branch of the Student Governing Board. President Robert Swansos Vice President Gertrlde Provost Secretary Doris Eckstein Treasurer John Poellincer. tf C583 Student Governing Board The student govemmg board is composed of the SSA officers, two representatives from the sophomore, junior and „,« classes, respectively, and three faculty members. The board has joint power with the Committee on Stu- dent Mam to tn.t.ate rules and regulations pertaining to student welfare. The board meets semi-monthly and in case ot an emergency can call a special meeting. The governing board acts as a mediator for any student who has a problem which necessitates a meeting with any of the faculty or administration. The jobs of the student government this year have been many. One was the reorganization of student activities These activ,„es mdude clubs, fraternities, and societies which are on the college social program. The Community Chest was studK-d by the board, and distribution to the chest ' s different needs was made accordingly. The board also formulated an aem.ty check system for students engaged in extra-curricular activities. Hoard members selected eleven members ot the student body to Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities. Through the student governing board, the- students have adopted a war orphan and are pledged to her support. Members of the board ihis past year have attended conventions, one held at La Crosse, the other at Madison. The latter was an V S Convention. £ m:: ' c 7 :tt£ .

P. was organized in 1921 to promote an appreciation of dramatic art. The threefold purpose of the fraternity members is to develop an appre- ciation for drama, attain skill in the act of interpretation, and provide train- ing which may serve as a preparation for future activity in amateur pro- duction. Any Stout student can become a member by having fulfilled satisfac- torily requirements for points gained through acting and stage crew work and by maintaining a required grade point average. This year M.A.P. assisted the centennial committee in its celebration of Senator Stout ' s one-hundredth birthday. A major M.A.P. event of home- coming weekend was the play The Woman Who Understood Men. This year, new stage scenery was built to replace the worn-out flats. This activity gave interested students an opportunity to earn some of the points required for admittance into the fraternity. President, Kenneth Sciiank First Row: Elmer Ewwrrt, Miss t ruU.n.

[6 ] Kappa Phi Sigma The Kappa Phi Sigma social fraternity was organized in 1931 to pro- mote know ledge, friendship, and social life for men. Under the able leader- ship of Carroll Brusen, the president of K.F.S. for the 1 948-49 term, this fraternity has had a well-rounded year of successful activities. K.F.S. started the school year by sponsoring the first all-school dance in September. At homecoming, the highlight was the annual alumni breakfast and the pledging of seven new members into the fraternity. The fall dinner dance in November was a success and one which will Ik remembered by all those who attended. As second semester came around, the Kafoos initiated an entirely new idea in sponsoring an all-school dance, that of presenting an orchid to each lady who attended. The theme was appropri- ately named Orchids for M ' Lady. The annual grudge game between the F.O.B. fraternity and the K.F.S. fraternity was won by the K.F.S. for the second consecutive time, 49-41. Stunt night brought another great success to the Kafoos as they won first place with the skit entitled K.F.S. Takes to the Air. The spring dinner dance on April 9th was another long to remembered event on the K.F.S. social calendar. As the light of this college year fades into the distance, the echoes of the men singing the WhirTenpoof song. and the chap wearing the straw hat, K.F.S. sweater, and carrying the cane during Hell Week are symbolic of the Kappa Phi Sigma fraternity.

F.O.B. takes an active interest in sports and school activities. High- lighting this year ' s F. ).B. activities were the spring formal Tropigan .a and the all-school Stunt Night. During pledge week, F.O.B. pledges are easily recognized by their traditional derbies. bow tics, and undershirts. They announce to the col- lege their desire to join the organization; then these derby-clad members can be seen throughout the school year attending the many school func- tions. ft President, V. i.i. ck Hammrrberc; ma Row: Dr. J.

Through this affilia- tion, the members expect to derive many benefits not otherwise obtainable. and in turn they hope to benefit their entire fraternal organization and The Stout Institute itself. As the Phalanx Fraternity, the group this year sponsored a smoker for men students and faculty of Stout, a square dance, and an all-school formal called Autumn Serenade. As Sigma Tau Gamma, the chapter sponsored a Coffee Hour in Har- vey Memorial in celebration of the group ' s becoming a part of the national organization.

Sigma has grown into a working organization of over twenty-five members, with many alumni in the field. The principal aim of Sigma is to promote social and educa- tional life in the college and in the lives of its members. Some Sigma activities for the year were the sponsoring of several formal dinners and the presentation of the annual Tacky Drag dance in the fall of the year. In previous years the organization has contributed to the facilities provided in the Union. During pledge week each pledge is required to wear a large red sash with the word Sigma written on it. thus identifying him to the students. President. ERNEST HaUCKE w: Dr. Agncw. Robert Jackson.

Intersociety Council The Intersociety council is the governing body of the tour women ' s so- cial organizations at Stout. This council, which is composed of the dean of women and the president, secretary, and faculty sponsor of each society, meets once a month to discuss rules and regulations thai .ire advisable to promote harmony between the different women ' s organizations. Striving to promote cooperation and friendliness among the four societies is the aim and purpose of the council. Each year this group sponsors the Intersociety Ball, held in the winter; a joint rushing party for the freshmen and transfer women students; and an all-school dance. The Intersociety council works unceasingly for the betterment of the college. Among the council ' s many contributions to Stout is the purchase of dishes and kitchen equipment for the Harvey Memorial, where many of our afternoon teas are held. C6«: hr Row.

Anticipating a year packed with activity, the Pallas Athenes started out with a bang. Our homecoming celebration was very gay, especially when our homecoming float was judged most beautiful of all. A Pallas Athene lovely, Jean Waltzer, reigned as homecoming queen, with another Pallas Athene, Betty Dengle, as one of her attendants. Highlights for our new members were pledge night, and our beautiful formal initiation held at the La Pointe home. Just before Thanksgiving, the traditional Pallas Athene serenade was held. Following the social calendar through the year, the Pallas Athenes en- joyed in particular their gala Thanksgiving dinner, their Easter Sale, and their May Day tea. To start the second semester, Pallas Athene sponsored their annual Snow Brawl. The organization ' s Founders day, with its deep meaning for all Pallas Athenes. was the occasion of another informal dinner. The important event of the spring was the annual PA dinner dance, a fitting climax to the activities of the year. The senior dinner signified not only the close of Pallas Athene activities for the year, but also the end of our association at Stout with our graduating sisters. CW] First Ron : Verle Sn«-n.

The many activities of its members during past year have made the SMA ' s i well-known organization on the Stoui campus. On graduation morning, twelve members will exchange their traditional! black S.M.A. dresses for black caps and gowns. The last year at Stout has I been an eventful one for these and all the other ever-active S.M.A. ' s. In the fall of the year, an impressive initiation for the nine new mcrr bers was held at the home of Mrs. F. F. Brewer, a charter member of society. Yellow mums sold by the S.M.A. ' s at Homecoming time were a niiicant addition to that gala occasion. Many S.M.A. alumni were here .mended the breakfast in their honor at the Congregational Church. Sadie Hawkin ' s Week! The S.M.A. ' s were again in the thick of thin; sponsoring a candy sale on Monday, a Valentine tea on Wednesday, and traditional Sadie Hawkin ' s dance on Saturday night. In spring, a dinner dance and Senior Recognition for the twelve uating members were held. A sterling silver teaspoon was given to one as a remembrance of her S.M.A. days at Stout.

The guests had a chance to exercise their right to vote and hear some of the best cam- paign speeches of the year. After this came homecoming with our float and the annual homecoming brunch. By the middle of December we were busy taking orders for Christmas cards, veiling bridge decks with The Stout Institute printed on them, and making toys for the children at the Chippewa Falls orphanage. We continued our activity right into the new semester by sponsoring the Just 1949 dance, the initiation of several new members into the society, and the famous Old Heidelberg tea.

The Home Economics Club The Home Economics club has been cr active this year. Every Home Economics student is a member of the club, which is affiliated with both the state and national Home Economics organization. The original organi- zation was organized in 1924 to develop professional spirit, to improve social and educational activities, and to keep students in close touch with important organizations in Home Economics. Each month the club has had a professional meeting. Speakers were an architect, artist, demonstrator, national Home Economics Club past presi- dent, and many others. The club sponsored the annual corridor dance lor new students, the Yule KafTee Lag, and the farewell breakfast for senior women. The club was active also in College Week, during which high school students from surrounding towns visited the school. Members have sent aid to Europe, and they have engaged in other worthwhile projects. Delegates from Stout are sent to the province, state, and national Home Economics ation conventions. One of the members, Ruth Neuman, was presi- dent of the State Home Economics association this year.

The Tower start was no exception, and work on the 1949 Tower began with a bang! There was much to be done, and with the purpose in mind ot editing the best book possible, the editors planned the layout. The editorships were held by Louis Burmeistcr, editor-in-chief; Herbert Wannabe , editor, and head of make-up; Russell Gerber, associate editor; Toby Hendrickson. business manager: Clyde Schwellen- bach. chief photographer; Naomi Wendt, chief typist: Bohumil Holub. art editor; Robert Mackin, sports editor; and Ann Banker, graduate section editor. The staff members, many of whom were freshmen, were recruited from the student body, and they did their part, together with the editors, in produc- ing the 1949 Tower. To check the progress of the book, the staff met every Wednesday night in the Tower office. Present at these meetings were the Tower advisers: Dwight Chinnock. business adviser; Guy Salycr, publicity adviser: and Thomas V £y- Fleming, literary adviser. These faculty members gave to the staff editors much-needed help throughout the year.

Heading th .- staff of nearly thirty members were Raymond Cornwell, editor, and William R. Raker, adviser. The Stoutonia was a little more than just a newspaper. It was an educational experiment, written to inform, to enlighten, and to give its staff members experience uniform with good journalistic principles. An integral part of the Stoutonia was the alumni news, a section which included letters, news of Stout alumni and the roster of recent members. Kach week two large mail sacks of Stoutonias were sent to alumni in every state ol the union and in the territorial |x sscssions. The features included editorials, a weekly message from President Verne C. Fryklund. the sports round-up, and campus gossip. Outstanding issues of the year were the Homecoming and the Christmas editions. As a reward for work well done, the staff had several social meetings, including banquets, parties and a field trip.

In carrying out these objectives, the members of the Stout Tyjx graphical Society engage each year in production of printed material for other organi- zations on the school campus. An annual field trip to schools and commercial printing establishments is another project which promotes the objectives of the society. Membership is divided into three degrees: apprentice, journeyman, and master; advancement to each of these degrees is based upon rigid requirements of study and examination.

They accompanied the football team to Superior and Eau Claire, where they paraded in the afternoon and raised the spirits of the spectators with their original yells and peppy marches at the game. During the annual Homecoming festivities the band played an important role. They led the torch light parade to the bonfire and headed the Homecoming parade. Because the armory was small and seats at a premium, the band was divided into three smaller pep bands. These bands took turns playing at the games and often entertained at the half with humorous skits or pantomime. The music for assembly introductions and pep meetings was also supplied by the pep bands. A traditional spring concert was presented by the band. The program included a variety of boogie, modern, classical, symphonic, and march music. C87] Girls ' Glee Club Rachel Dautbrmakn, Pres. The Girls ' Glee club was organized this year by Mr. Harold R.

The Bluedevils battled Eau (la ire lor every inch of ground, but yielded a touchdown to their arch rivals in the fourth quarter. In this game, the Bluedevils initiated a new offense under a new coach, former Stout gridiron great Tony Storti, but were unable to get their attack to function properly. The Devils penetrated Eau Claire territory only once during the game. In iriiR of a ill yard run by right halfback Arnie Pott hast. Stout, however, gave an indication of things to come in future conests by holding the Bluegolds to 6 points. The Stout line showed particular promise by putting up a gallant goal line stand in the second period, stop- ping Eau Claire one yard short of a touchdown. The Bluedevils gained valuable experience in this game, although it did mean opening the season with a conference loss. STOUT 7 - RIVER FALLS 26 Stout entertained the talent-laden River Falls eleven at Nelson Field in their next outing, only to drop the contest to the Falcons by a 26-7 count. The Stout offensive attack showed considerable im- provement over the previous week, but the team lacked polish defensively. Although the Bluedevils rolled up 12 first downs, and 200 yards from scrimmage, River Falls had a quartet of the speediest backs in the conference (Continued  n pagi C93D I o o [M] Football who were able to penetrate the Devil defense almost at will. Particularly pleasing to Stout followers was Stout ' s improved passing attack. Freshman quarterback ( lale Wocllfcr hit Bluedevil receivers on 13 out of 21 at- tempts, .ind v ax given good protection by Jim Ooley. Fred Wentorr , Lylc Johanson, and Dan Jeatran in the forward wall. After threatening to score several times during the contest. Stout managed to reach the goal line in t he- fourth quarter. A scries of passes from Woellfer to Andy Masarik moved the ball deep into Falcon territory: from there Wwllfer scored on a quarterback sneak. STOUT 21 -WHITEWATER 20 Stout won their first football game under their new ).uh .u the expense of the Whitewater Quakers. The Bluedevils struck like lightning twice in the fourth quarter to gain a victory in a thrilling finish. The contest was of the story book variety from begin- ning to end. Whitewater returned the opening kick-off all the way to the Stout 22 yard line, and scored on a pass three plays later. Stout, not to lie outdone, bounced right back in a few momenta to tie up the game. The score came on a pass play covering 6 yards, Woellfer to Fotthast. with Bob Young making good on his first ot three important extra-points for the day. Whitewater capitalized on two breaks in rapid suc- cession to score twice in the third period. The first one came when the Quakers recovered a bad pass from cen- ter on the Stout 2 yard line, and the sceond when they blocked Bob Young ' s punt on the Stout 16 yard line. With the score reading 20 to 7 in Whitewater ' s Eavoi at the start of the fourth quarter, Stout put on a burst of speed that brought victory. The running of Harter Peterson and Arnie Pouhast, the passing of Gale Woell- L-r. and the pass-receiving of Vaughn Stai moved the (Continued n page 96) Z f H Football BluedcuK deep into enemy territory where Peterson plunged over for the score. The climax came with one minute ami tilty-rive sec- onds remaining to be played. A pass from W ' oellter to Stai was good lor 16 ards and a touchdown; Young ' s kick made it a 21-20 thrilling victory. STOUT 1 9 - STEVENS POINT 1 9 In the Stevens Point game, played on the Pointers ' home field, the Blucdevils threw a scare into the hearts of their rooters. A 52 yard run from scrimmage and a 24 yartl run with a recovered fumble gave Stevens Point a 130 lead with the ball game only a (ew minutes old. Stout settled down to get back in the ball game and moved 78 yards to pay-dirt minutes l cfore the end of the first half. Steuns Poini look iht kick-ofl at the start : the second half and moved 76 yards to score for a l )-7 lead. A 66 yard kick-off return by Bob Young moved Stout into scoring position for their second touchdown. Har- ter Peterson plunged over to make the score board read 19-13 in the Pointers ' favor. A SX yard pass from Young to Stai set the stag Stout ' s tying marker. Harter Peterson made 12 yards in two trys and scored as the third quarter ended. Stevens Point penetrated Stout territory as far as the 10 yard line in the fourth stanza, but the Stout forward wall refused to yield enough yardage for a score. STOUT 6 - LA CROSSE 1 3 The La Crosse Indians put a damper on Stout homecoming this year by defeating the Bluedcvils 13- despite Stout ' s statistical edge. jf C%3 Football Stout out-ran, out-pus; .- !, and out-punted the Indians, but three costly fumbles spelled victory for La Crosse. The Bluedcvils drew first blood by capitalizing on a break early in the game. Harter Peterson plunged over for the touchdown from the 1 yard stripe. Li Crosse moved 42 yards to score in the second period after intercepting a pass, and 59 yards to score in the third period after recovering a fumble. The Bluedevils moved into Indian territory repeat- edly but were throttled each time. Three fumbles and three intercepted passes meant the difference between victory and defeat. Stout picked up 15 first downs to 8 for La Crosse, and 180 yards to HO for their opponents, but the final score read j Crosse 1 3, Stout f . Michigan Tech, one of the few unbeaten and untied teams in the nation, was hard pressed for its 13-6 vic- tor;. The game was featured by hard running, vicious blocking and tackling, and a continued flare-up of tem- pers on both squads, as the two teams played their hearts out for victory. Tech tallied in the first and third periods of the Armistice day affair, and Stout scored in the second period on a pass from Woellfer to Janikowski. This game was a fitting climax to the grid season. The hard work of coach Storti and his squad passed in review at Nelson Field in the season ' s finale. Each and every man played to win and used every weapon learned throughout the season to try to achieve victory. The Hluedevil squad could in proud losers to the powerful Michigan eleven, for Stout had come a long way in eight football games. STOUT 1 8 - OSHKOSH 6 Dad ' s Day at Nelson Field this year proved to be an eventful one, when Oshkosh took an 18-6 beating at the hands of the constantly-improving Bluedevils. Missing from the Stout attack was the passing ol Gale Woellfer. injured in the Superior game, but his understudy quarterback, Russ Pollock, directed the Stout ground force to ISO yards rushing and three touchdowns. The defensive play of the Bluedevils was beginning to show polish, with each game bringing an improvement. The Stout forward wall held the Titans to 30 yards rushing. Stout scored in the second and third quarters on plunges by Harter Peterson, and again in the fourth quarter on a ?7-yard jaunt by Arnic Potthast. Oshkosh, which hadn ' t made a serious threat through the ball game, scored on a pass play with seven I seconds remaining to he played. STOUT 6 - MICHIGAN TECH 13 The Stout Bluedevils climaxed the season by turn- ing in one of their finest performances of the year. STOUT 33 - SUPERIOR 1 9 The Bluedevils hit their stride following the La Crosse game by running over Superior by a 33 to 19 score. The running of Janikowski, Peterson, Potthast. and Young, coupled with the passing of Gale Woellfer, ac- counted for 12 first downs and 352 yards from scrim- mage. Stout scored early in the opening period, Bob Young taking a lateral from Potthast to register a touchdown. Superior came right back with a tally of their own, but from there on it was all Stout. The Bluedevils scored again in the second and third quarters, and twice in the fourth quarter to account for their 33 points. Superior pushed over touchdowns in the third and fourth periods, largely against the Stout re- serves, but were never in the ball game in the second half. Bob Young, Harter Peterson, and Russ Pollock had a touchdown each for the Bluedevils, while Andy Ma- sari k scored twice. The line play of Dan (cat ran, Jim Ooley. Bob Simon, Karl Turk, and Fred Wentorf con- tinually stopped Superior ' s all-conference back field. C97] Football ALL-CONFERENCE TEAMS FIRST TEAM Position Player School End .

Xot satisfied with their last place ranking in confer- ence play, however, the Bluedevils immediately set out to remedy the situation. League-leading River Falls was the rirst victim of the rejuvenated Stout five.

The intra-mural program is achieving ever-increas- ing success with each passing year. In 1948-49, one-third of the men on the campus par- ticipated in the intra-mural basketball program, while many students enjoyed volleyball, bowling, and Softball. The aims of the Stout intra-mural program are basic and well-directed. Through the mediums of intra-mural volleyball, basketball, bowling, softball, badminton, tennis, and golf, the intra-mural program endeavors to provide a means for the student body to employ their leisure time in a wholesome manner. The program further intends to pro- vide an organized means of exercise to promote the health of the student body, to afford a means of social contacts between individuals of similar ages, to promote the friendly rivalry and group spirit which is important in our democracy, to stimulate indirectly good scholarship by providing the healthful recreation which builds up energy rather than dissi- pates it, and, finally, to afford the student body a means for learning motor skills which have .1 ilehniu recreation carry-over value.

And if you arrived downstairs for a phone call, you discovered your best friend (r). beating your time with your current man. Then to make matters worse, she managed to staple your pajamas or help break your neck by short-sheeting your bed. And you will remember the fleeting handshake on the porch before that last-minute dash to sign in as the lights blinked. You will not forget the gay times on campus when you were being duly punished, or when you brewed strong coffee for all-night sessions of term papers or child development reports. Neither will you forget the last days of school as you packed to go home and had the problem of returning the accumulation of others possessions, discarding what you so faithfully treasured through the year, and seeing the look of agony on your parents faces as they stared at your boxes and boxes from a year of dorm life.
