Thrust out to guard her by her broad -plateaus^ She cherishesher colleges and homes
Amid her mile-deep elm and maple rows.
Here faith is full; here anxious doubt is stilled; A reassuring constancy is here; Here is the far and valiant hope fulfilled., Sweet spring-time ardor of the pioneer.
Edwin T. Reed.This book, which we hope will be a pleasant memory of college days at Winona, has been produced by the Wenonah staff under the direction of:
William H. Franzmann, Managing Editor
Bernard Busse, Editor-in-chief
Walter Lynne, Business Manager
We Present, A pictorial and verbal record of study, cocurricular activity, sports and fun at a “typical” college which can no longer seem typical to us because of the associations we have with it.

We thank you for the guiding hand you’ve lent us, And only hope we may Fulfill the confidence you’ve placed in us.
This is a teachers college. In it are people desirous of becoming teachers people who are guided by the faith that they can help others to do the same work they are doing. Theirs is an unselfish labor. They are satisfied not with producing teachers as good as they are, but sincerely hope to impart knowledge in an even better way. This better way implies not only the mechanical repetition of facts, laws and formulae: the hope is also there that pupils will catch the love for learning, will be happy, successful members of a society whose nature we cannot with certainty predict. Were we able to predict the nature of this coming social world, the task of pedagogy would be much simpler; or if life were static, we should have our path plain before us. As things are, however, we can only endow our children with the means for adjusting themselves to a changing social order.
A person whose sincere touch has been felt in this direction is
to whom we humbly dedicate this 1937 Wenonah in respect for her merit as a teacher and teacher of teachers.
Through these doors, A few short years ago we passed Wondering at what lay beyond; Now we know, and sadly find Our time has passed, And now again we face a new beyond.
Morituri te salutamus “We who are about to die, salute you.’’ Those were the last spoken words of many gladiators who died in the Roman arenas.
This book is published by the graduating classes of this college. The philosopher Schopenhauer thought of every parting as a little death; every meeting, a little resurrection. In a sense, we die we depart, and our niches here which we think so important will soon be filled by others and our absence not too keenly felt. We persist in flattering ourselves, however, that in the future there will still be some who remember us, and that our stay here has not been too tragically ephemeral.
Bearing this in mind, we have gone about producing this yearbook. We have attempted in a way to present a picture of what we do here: the preparation we make for our life’s work, our avocations, our sports, and our fun. True, we do this largely for ourselves. We like to have an album for our memories, but those of us who have the most contact with the book’s production come to look upon it as a memorial to ourselves. With this as an ideal we have put forth earnest efforts that you might remember us at our best, but in the hope for progress, we hope that succeeding classes will improve upon our best. You, who are about to replace us, we salute youi

WE, THE people entrusted with the compiling of this yearbook, have never liked the idea and custom of presenting the faculty of the school in the lifeless, impersonal manner of former years. We feel that that practice is especially out of place in this school since here we come to know our instructors in a way that is helpful and inspiring. On this page we present our “prexy,”
Mr. Maxwell, who is so close to the student body that he knows many of us by our first names, and Mr. Erank Sheehan, the resident director whom we know all too little. Our chief acquaintanee with him is as diploma-passer-outer at graduations. On succeeding pages by means of words and pictures we hope to make you feel better acquainted with our “teachers of teachers.’’
First we have Dr. Raymond, our new teacher of biological sciences. This is his first year here, but he has already made himself very popular. Mr. Scarborough teaches geography, makes us conscious of the magnitude of the earth; Mr. French is the patron saint of math majors and one of the most colorful people on the campus; Mr. MacDonald serves as dean of men, placement director, and has taught and teaches botany, general biological science and vocational guidance at various times; Dr. Minne teaches general physical science, chemistry and physics.
The next picture portrays our men of the social sciences. Dr. Selle enlightens us on sociology, economics, government and social problems; Dr. Tozier teaches a variety of courses in the social sciences and secondary education; Mr. Owens explains the intricacies of stimuli and responses, the compilation of educational statistics, and the art of keeping happy, in his psychology courses; Mr. Jederman gives a series of history courses enlivened and spiced by observations upon American life and the New Deal.
In the next group we have: first. Dr. Murphy, noted for her survey course of English literature, world literature, and composition, her stiff tests and her subtle humor; Mr. Reed teaches imaginative writing, “types”, and other courses in literature; Miss Richards is the dean of
women, teaches contemporary literature and such specialized courses as Wordsworth, Browning, etc. ; Mr. Boots teaches grammar, composition and occasionally psychology. He is one of the faculty’s most ardent volleyball devotees; Dr. Lynch teaches drama, speech and dramatics. As adviser for Wenonah Players she has helped to inject new life into the organization.
The first picture in the second panel presents; Mr. Galligan who holds the new position of athletic director; Miss Pendergast and Miss Talbot who teach physical education for women and who have played an important part in the promotion of co-recreational activities; Miss Miller, in the background, is the school nurse and gives us helpful, friendly advice when we don’t feel so good.
At the library desk are Miss Zimmerman, assistant librarian, and Miss Engstrom, chief librarian. They keep us in reading matter. The gentlemen at the band saw are Mr. Pawelek and Mr. Jackson. They both give courses in industrial education. Mr. Pawelek acts as an all-around handy man in athletics, assuming coaching duties in the absence of others. He also is coaching the baseball team this spring. Mr. Jackson coaches varsity football, and coached the B squad in basketball.
Miss Bard teaches piano and plays the organ at every chapel exercise. Miss Jeffrey has charge of music at Phelps school and also teaches violin to college students.Miss Dorothy Clark teaches a great variety of subjects under the head of fine arts and is the
adviser of the art club. Mr.Grimm teaches music classes, directs the Mendelssohn Club and the orchestra and leads the singing at chapel.
The groups on this page cannot be pigeon-holed so nicely as belonging to certain departments; almost all of them, however, help in teacher-training by acting as supervisors over student teachers. Miss Scovell teaches English in the junior high school; Miss Ella Clark teaches and supervises in the intermediate grades. Miss Cramer teaches the fourth grade at Phelps. Mr. Fishbaugher teaches Math and junior business training in Phelps Junior High. Miss Dallman teaches the fifth grade. Miss Brunner, to whom this year’s book is dedicated, teaches social science and is supervisor of the junior high school.
Miss Kroeger teaches home economics in the junior high school. During fourth hour the odor of soup or vegetables permeates the corridors and makes us frightfully hungry. Miss Murray teaches art to the Phelps School youngsters. Their work is seen in the form of sketches, murals and a yearly puppet show. Miss Bartsch is one of the rural supervisors and is frequently seen in the school car going to or from an associated school. Miss Davis teaches general languages and French to junior high pupils and French to college students. Miss Christensen, the other rural supervisor is the best person we know for detecting birds in early spring. Mr. Simmers, director of the training school, also teaches classroom management.
supervision and curriculum. He takes a great deal of interest in Kappa Delta Pi, for which he is counsellor.
Miss Brouillette teaches the second graders, Miss Foster teaches the little tots in the first grade. Miss Gage is supervisor of the primary grades and teaches the third grade. Miss Schwable is the supervisor of the kindergarten. Her work was made more difficult this year because of the absence of Miss Sutherland who was ill. Miss “Jo” Kjelland is a kindergarten teacher, but also takes some regular college subjects andis active in our extra-curricular activities.
Our office staff! what would we do without them? Miss Pritchard, as régistrar, helps us to untangle knots in our programs; Miss Voelker takes our tuition money, accepts cash for board bills and hands out F.E.R.A. checks. “Anne” is indispensable. She answers our questions, listens to our woes, and deals all too gently with us when we fail to observe office hours. “Vi” Kochendoerfer takes dictation from Mr. Maxwell, and gives us excuses when we’re late for classes.
Miss Sutherland was suffering from a prolonged illness at the time these pictures were taken. Miss Sutherland is
one of the heads of the kindergarten. She usually speaks at chapel on Friendship day and near Christmas. We missed her Christmas story this year.

Those blasé creatures who “know the ropes”, who are surprised at nothing save that four years have passed with miraculous swiftness.
Often the forgotten people of the school. They toil and labor in the shadow of the seniors’ eminence; they’ll “Show ’em” next year.
Outgrown the pangs of being novices, beginning to appreciate the fine place Winona is; some of these people will stay on for the four-year course while others leave to begin their work “in the field”.
Alas, poor rooky, may his tribe increase! Listen Freshman, don’t feel sad now, for when you’re an upperclassman you’ll want to start all over again.
All these go to make up our

According to Webster,means
younger in years or lower in rank. Well, the juniors may be of tender years, and, of course, the Seniors consider them lower in rank, but one thing they are not lower or inferior in is ability. When the Seniors depart, the Juniors will step into their places easily and well.
This year, the Junior Class, as it did last year, lost many potential members because of the large number of sophomores who secured teaching positions and hence did not return to school.
Juniors may be found in all the college organizations, either heading the club or participating in the activities. The Juniors contribute extensively to the two college publications. The representation
ofJuniors on the Winonan staff is greater than that of any other class, while two editors and five staff members of the Wenonah are Juniors.
isn’t the only talent which the Juniors have. There is also a goodly number of musicians, actors, and athletes among them. That some of them belong to the intelligentsia is evidenced by the fact that seven of the twelve newly elected members of Kappa Delta Pi are Juniors and five Juniors are members of Purple Key.
Officers of the club are, Berger Ostmoe, president; Bernard Busse, vice-president; and Adelaide Gunderson, secretarytreasurer. The junior member of the Representative council is Elizabeth Blix.

The evolution of a freshman from a frightened, woe-begotten creature to a self-confident, independent individual is as astonishing as the evolution of man. The upperclassmen are always greatly surprised and a little resentful when this transformation takes place. This year in just a couple of weeks it was impossible to distinguish between an upper classman and a freshman when they had endured their battery of tests intelligence, vocabulary, speech writing, and spelling. The freshmen swiftly replaced the I-don’t-know-where-I-belong expressions on their faces with I-knowwhat-Tm-doing expression for by this time the upper classmen had properly initiated them into college life.
Each freshman girl living in the dormitory was assigned as “stooge” to an upperclassman. The duties of a “stooge”
included running errands, washing and pressing clothes, supplying candy to one’s “superior,” and showing great deference at all times. During initiation week freshman girls appeared with makeup only on one side of the face, hair partly braided and tied with huge ribbons wearing different colored shoes, and carrying sofa pillows or cloth animais. One day the task assigned was to carry an uncooked egg all day, having each of her instructors endorse it.
While the girls fared thus, the freshmen were also being reduced to subjection. They were required to wear the traditional purple skull caps with a button on the crown and “button” or “double button” at the command of an upper classman. During assembly periods freshmen were called upon for initiations and stunts, while the inhabitants
of West Lodge provided similar entertainment at Social Hour on Tuesday nights. One Monday the freshman boys arranged en masse on the steps of the main entrance rendered their version of our Alma Mater song. Anyway we’re glad they learned the words.
Stunt night was a revelation. On that night the freshmen exhibited a lot of talent and versatility. They presented actors, singers, and musicians all of them surprisingly good.
In their float for the Homecoming parade the freshmen again displayed their originality and ability.
The freshmen proved their altruism this year by sending the funds set aside for the freshman party to the flood suffers. However, the freshmen still gave all the students and faculty members of the college a grand party, charging only a very moderate fee.
Third Row: V. Kangas, B.
Campbell,
Several of the boys have done rather well by themselves in football, basketball, boxing, and track. The freshman class contributed two regulars to the basketball team and three to the football squad. A great many men have partidpated in the intra-mural program of sports while the girls have engaged in soccer, tennis, and indoor games.
The freshman singers, artists, journalists, and actors found ample opportunity to satisfy their interests in the various clubs of the college, such as the Art Club, the Winonan, the Mendelssohn Club, and theWenonah Players.
Officers of the freshman class are : Scott Johnson, president; Elva Enstrom, vicepresident; Margaret Einkelnburg, secretary-treasurer. Scott Johnson is the freshman member of the Representative Council. Mr. Jederman is the class adviser.

In only a few days we shall pass out the doors of this institution : many of us perhaps will never see our Alma Mater again. Therefore, ours is a feeling of mingled joy and sadness. Naturally we regret leaving, but still we who are graduated are thrilled to think that the school has put its stamp of approval on us. We look upon this as an honor and a trust.
We have introduced ourselves, let you know what we’ve done while here, and now we shall try to depict what we have done this year and a little bit about how we’ve done it. This material is found in the sections on:
In the hope that we’ll leave you a little better acquainted with us by showing what we do, and also to give you something to remember us by.
Being a democratic institution, the Winona State Teachers College has what all such institutions have, a sjstern of representation. The Representative Council is the group to whom the students intrust the power to act in their behalf. This is the organization which must endeavor to maintain the high standards of the college. These representatives play a truly significant part in the affairs of the school.
This council has a number of duties. One of these is nominating to the association the student members of the following committees; athletic; finance; lecture, plays and recitals; social affairs; alumni relations; assembly and commencement exercise; and public relations. It is also responsible for the supervision and revision, when necessary, of the joint committee system, advises in all student activities; receives applications for the
organization of new clubs, recommending suitable action, and may serve as board of review in all cases of student affairs.
This year the council has an additional duty : It has charge of the rule governing eligibility for offices in any college club or organization, and participation in public performances.
The five faculty members of the Council are; Misses Richards, Talbot; Messrs. Boots, MacDonald, and Simmers. The student members are the class presidents ; John Wachs, senior, Berger Ostmoe, junior, Arthur Hoblitt, sophomore, and Scott Johnson, freshman; the representatives from the three upper classes are Dorothy Westfall, Betty Blix, and Lois Simons. Officers of the Representative Council are Dorothy Westfall, president, Berger Ostmoe, vice-president, and John Wachs, secretary.
Although the impressive title of this club suggests a group of politicians, there isn’t a politician in the club. (Members, please don’t feel hurt.) These young people really do things, which is more than can be said of some politicians. One thing this group does not do is try to settle the affairs of the nations. The purpose of the organization is to study and discuss present day international and national problems to get a better and more complete understanding of them. Membership in the club is limited. At the beginning of each fall and spring quarter new members are chosen from a list of students who have expressed a desire to belong to the club.
Each year this Winona group is represented at the state conference of International Relations Clubs. This year’s
conference, held April 9th and 10th at the University of Minnesota, included round table discussions, open forums, and speeches by prominent men. ‘Causes of War,” “Collective Security vs. Isolation,” “The Situation in Spain,” “PanAmerican Conference,” and “Economic Problems” were some of the topics of the round table discussions. Merle Ohlsen, one of the Winona delegates, presided at the round table discussion on peace education. Other official delegates from Winona were Dorothy Westfall, Isabel Johnson, Evelyn Albers, and Delbert Roche.
The officers of the club are : Isabel Johnson, president, Irving Thomas, vicepresident, Margaret Berven, recording secretary, Dorothy Westfall, corresponding secretary, Evelyn Albers, treasurer. Dr. Selle and Dr. Tozier are the advisers.

APPA DELTA PI is a national honorary society for those who have a strong interest in the field of education and show promise of success in teaching. The Gamma Tau Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi was installed in Winona State Teachers College on February 10, 1934.
The purpose of the club is to instill in its members a high regard for the teaching profession. Only those students in their junior or senior years of college who have a high scholastic standing, admirable personal qualities, and membership in at least four extra-curricular activities, are eligible for membership.
The following were initiated into the Kappa Delta Pi this year: Evelyn Albers, Margaret Serven, Adelaide Gunderson, Robert Keller, Josephine Kjelland, Ethel Kreutz, Isabel Johnson, Paula Meyer,
Genevieve Nerdahl, Mrs. Marguerite Rideout, Delbert Roche, and Raymond Wolfe.
Old members still in school are: Anna Jane Buck, Margaret Buehler, Dorothy Westfall, William Franzmann, Victor Gislason, Elizabeth Mead, Hazel Uggen, and Frederick Nelson.
The club attempts to bring worthwhile speakers to the club and to the college. Dr. A. B. Caldwell of the State Department of Education spoke at the initiation ceremony on January 25, 1937. At a Founder’s Day Program, April 16, the club secured Prof. Luther Purdom of the University of Michigan as a speaker.
Officers of the club are Fred Nelson, president, Dorothy Westfall, vice-president, Margaret Buehler, secretary-treasurer, William Franzmann, program chairman, and Mr. Simmers, counsellor.
The Purple Key is an honorary society, membership being based upon excellent scholarship, participation in at least one quarter of each of four elective extra-curricular activities, contributions made to the life of the college and promise of unusual service in the field of education. The Purple Key has no officers, holds no meetings and carries on no program. It is purely an honorary society and bestows the highest recognition in the school. Membership is open to upperclassmen; however, students in the last quarter of the Sophomore term are admitted on the same basis as Juniors and Seniors. Elections takes place once
a year and not more than ten students may be elected into the society each year.
The organization endeavors to develop among the members a social and professional attitude becoming to a teacher.
Members elected into the society this year are: Paula Meyer, Lois Simons, Adelaide Gunderson, Betty Washburn, Lois Jensen, Evelyn Albers, Ethel Kreutz, Genevieve Nerdahl, June MacDonald, Isabel Johnson.
Former members still in school are: Anna Jane Buck, Margaret Buehler, Dorothy Westfall, Delbert Roche, Frederick Nelson, and Victor Gislason.
Seated B. Washburn, A. Gunderson, D. Westfall, L. Simons, P. Meyer. Standing E. Albers, J. MacDonald, M. Buehler, D. Roche, F. Nelson, V. Gislason, E. Kreutz, L. Jensen, G. Nerdahl.During the past year the Wenonah Players have accomplished a great deal in the field of dramatics. Much of the credit for this year’s success belongs to Dr. Gladys Lynch whose constant enthusiasm and personality have been sources of inspiration for the members of the club.
The first important event of the year for the Players was their annual Fall Initiation Banquet and Dance given in honor of the newly elected members.
At the Minnesota P.T.A. Convention held in Winona last fall the Players presented the one-act drama “Wind Over Salem” which won first prize in the state P.T.A. play-writing contest last spring.
The fall production was “Children of the Moon” by Martin Flavin.
For the Christmas program Henry Van Dyke’s “The Other Wise Man” was rewritten for the stage and presented by the Players.
“The King Abdicates”, an original satire, by Frederick Nelson, was pre
sented at the college and various places in town. This and several other plays were presented over the local radio station by members of the Players.
In April, a one-act play contest was sponsored for the neighboring high schools. The purpose of the contest was to promote interest in dramatics. Talks and demonstrations were given by members of the Players.
For the spring production four one-act plays, directed by members of the club were presented. They were “The Far Away Princess” directed by Mary Garlough, “The Intruder” directed by Caryl Spriestersbach, “The Marriage Proposal” directed by William Franzmann, and “The Valiant” directed by Frederick Nelson.
Officers of the Wenonah Players are Frederick Nelson, president; June MacDonald, vice-president; Marion Clarke, secretary; Walter Lynne, treasurer; Dr. Lynch, Dr. Murphy, and Dr. Tozier, advisers.
The Wenonah Players’ dramatic presentation for this year was Martin Flavin’s “Children of the Moon’’ which was directed by Dr. Gladys Lynch.
“Children of the Moon’’ concerns members of the Atherton family in whose blood runs the taint of “moon madness.’’ Embittered toward life because of the tragic deaths of her husband and her son, Mrs. Atherton wishes her daughter to be unhappy too. To attain her selfish ends she starts into action a force which gets beyond her control and has more tragic results than she had anticipated.
Old Judge Atherton, played with convincing realism by Robert Ostrom, Winona, has a moon madness which has its effect on the other members of the family. Madame Atherton, grandmother of Jane, depicted by Mary Garlough of Minneapolis, was one of the best roles in the play. Carolmay Morse of St. Paul
was splendid in the role of the neurotic mother. June MacDonald of Eveleth gave an understanding and appealing protrayal of Jane, daughter of Mrs. Atherton. Major Bannister, the aviator who won the heart of Jane, was given a sympathetic interpretation by Frederick Nelson of Albert Lea. Walter Lynne, Winona, made a likeable and amusing butler, while Caryl Spriestersbach of Pine Island made a capable mechanic. John Laakso of Gilbert was admirable in his role ofDoctor Wetherell.
The behind-stage cast was headed by Marion Clarke, Preston, as stage-manager with the lighting and realistic sounds of the pounding surf and the droning aeroplane under the direction of Verner Suomi, Norris Olson, and Merle Ohlsen. The unusually effective set was designed by Anna Jane Buck.
'’'Children of the Moon"
This is a pep organization in a moment of relaxation, for even a club of boosters must have some periods of ease. The club’s purpose is to promote interest and enthusiasm in worthwhile college activities. The club attempts to get better student support of the college athletic contests. It selects cheer-leaders through a program of try-outs presented during chapel.
The club is taking an increasingly active part in the Homecoming activities. This year they had complete charge of the arrangements for the pep fest, bonfire, parade, and the dance given in the evening.
The annual Die-No-Mo Show, an original entertainment, “Swing Inn,” featuring the Hal Leonard orchestra was very successful. From the funds raised
the club contributed seventy-five dollars for a band tour in the spring and another sum towards the Apollo Club tour. The Die-No-Mo also gives financial aid in the recruiting of new students for the college.
Members are nominated to the club by organizations to which they already belong and elected by the Die-No-Mo members.
The Die-No-Mo is one of the youngest clubs. It began its work in 1916 and drew up the Sportsmanship Code of the College. Its name means “dynamo,” generator of energy.
Officers of the club during the past year were: Fredrik Gislason, high voltage; Lyle Arns, voltage; Gretchen Grimm, brush; Mary Van Campen, spark; Messrs. French, Selle, Reed, Jederman, and Minne, insulators.
WING INN” that’s the name of the show the Die-No-Mo club gave this year and everyone who saw it really felt like ‘‘swinging in.” The show was a smashing success. Considering the enthusiastic reception given the cast, it is safe to conclude that ‘‘Swing Inn” was the crowning success of all the shows which the club has ever produced.
From the opening scene to the spectacular climax there wasn’t a dull moment in the whole show. The clever lines of the dialogue snapped right along, the dancing was as smooth and polished as a Ziegfield follies, and the music was catchy but in excellent taste.
The show concerns a young coed Penelope Brooks, June MacDonald, who decides to earn her expenses for a year. With the help of her fiance, Everett Edstrom, and a few willing friends
Penelope opens a night club for college students. This plot provides a background for the dancing and the music.
Floor show units included vocal solos and trios, piano solos, tap dances, dance choruses, and selections by Hal Leonard’s Orchestra. The numbers rendered by the orchestra, ‘‘Swing Overture,” ‘‘Gold Digger’s Lullaby,” ‘‘Mr. Ghost Goes to Town,” and the ‘‘Carnival of Venice” practically brought down the house. The High Kick dance and the Collegiate chorus were equally well received. The modern and classical interpreters of the dance, John Wachs, Russell Mayer, and William Franzmann, had the audience almost hysterical with laughter.
‘‘Swing Inn” was written by Dorothy Westfall and directed by Gretchen Grimm.

Seaton, M. Finkeinburg, G. Edstrom, V. Towner, L. Hildcn.MUSIC hath charms especially when it issues from the lips of this well-trained group. Under the direction of Mr. Grimm, the members have an opportunity to become acquainted with much good music. They sing secular and sacred music, a capella and accompanied. The primary purpose of the organization is to give glee club experience to members, but it also serves as a laboratory for women students majoring in music. Here they gain experience in conducting and in solving actual problems of glee club work.
The first social event of the year was the initiation banquet given for the new members. Each girl joining the club was assigned a stunt displaying her special talents. Members are selected through tryouts.
A series of spring concerts was given
at La Crosse, Preston, St. Charles, Eyota, West Salem and climaxed by the 37th annual concert in the college auditorium Friday May 7. Formal attire and a guest artist. Miss Ramona Gerhard, added to the audience’s sincere enjoyment of the home concert. It was followed by a banquet for the members to which alumni members were also invited.
During the year the club also sang before chapel, at the college Christmas program, and for the activities of commencement week.
Officers of the club this year are: Isabel Johnson, president; Elizabeth Mead, vice-president; Vivian Yates, recording secretary; Helen L. Smith, corresponding secretary; Janet Foster, librarian; Mr. Grimm, adviser. Miss Agnes Bard accompanies the group.
This group of male singers is one of the best advertisements theschool has. Their work each year is centered around an annual tour which they take in spring. They left on the fearful thirteenth day of April on an itinerary which this year included more territory than had any previous tour. Towns at which they sang included the following: Waseca, St. James, Windom, Pipestone, Slayton, Renville, Olivia, Osakis, Morris, Wadena, Crosby, Hibbing, Mountain Iron, Cloquet, Sauk Rapids, and Lake City. The boys went from town to town singing as many as four concerts a day. During the week-end they were away they stayed at Grand Rapids. The club has sung at some of these towns in other years but some were new additions to the tour. Concerts on the tour were featured by selections by the string quartet composed of Harlem Moen, Glen Johnson, Lucille Ray, and Virginia
Brightman and by the vocal quartet made up of Walter Wadewitz, Walter Lynne, Loren Wood and William Bixby. Members of the club are proud of the fact that they reached all concerts on time, suffered no accidents (not even flats) with the exception of Oscar Joneson’s running out of gas while only a few miles from Winona on the return trip.
Their annual concert was given on April 23. This concert included a variety of musical numbers: humorous, serious, novelty and classical numbers. Mrs. Lawrence Moening, formerly Janet Rohweder, who directed the organization last year was the soloist for that evening. The club this year was directed by Mr. Langum.
Fred Nelson is president of the club, Walter Wadewitz holds the responsible job of being business manager and Oscar Joneson acts as secretary and librarian.
Mr. Walter Grimm, Supervisor of Music, directs the college mixed chorus. This chorus should be distinguished from the all-school chorus which Mr. Grimm also directs each chapel meeting. The Mendelssohn Club and the Apollo club, as well as other students throughout the school who are interested in good musical performance and who sing well, compose the enrollment of this club. Miss Agnes Bard, piano instructor of the college, and assistant to Mr. Grimm, accompanies the group.
The chorus practices regularly, twice a week. Some special rehearsals, however are called before performances. Due to the shortness of practice periods it is necessary that the chorus utilize practice wisely in preparing numbers.
During the homecoming activities this year the group presented a number of
selections at chapel. Another activity in which this organization participated was the program at the all-school Christmas party. The chorus with the assistance of the Mendelssohn club, the Apollo club and the College orchestra presented a group of beautiful Christmas hymns and carols.
The aim of the club is to acquaint interested students with music of merit and worth. The music is picked from the works of composers who wrote during the classical, romantic and modern periods thus providing a variety in type which includes oratorios, classical music, and musical comedies.
The officers of the club are; Vivian Yates, president; Roger Busdicker, vicepresident; Lois Simons, librarian; Glenn Johnson, assistant librarian; and Mr. Grimm, advisor.

Recently the club devised a unique, as well as pedagogical, way of taking roll. Each member responds when his name is called by giving a musical current event. In this cooperative way the members of the club can keep abreast with the musical events. Following “roll call’’ musical selections are presented to the club by members as well as other musicians of the school. At one time Phelps Junior High school quartette, under the direction of Miss Jeffrey, entertained the club.
Not long ago the club purchased playing cards. However these cards are not of the euchre variety. True to the purpose of the club this purchase con
cerns the musical advancement of its members. The game is similar to “Authors’’ but instead of authors and their respective literary works, the game deals with composers and musical works.
Realizing that a well-balanced musical diet must contain some extramusical activities, the club plans for a picnic each spring which is the main social gathering of the year. At the present time, plans are in the making for the picnic, and all the members are looking forward to it with a great deal of anticipation.
Leading the club in an official way are Renee Charpentier, president; Virginia Brightman, vice president; Joan Downing, secretary; and Genevieve Edstrom, program chairman.
Seated A. Bard, R. Charpentier, Mr. Grimm, J. Downing, G. Edstrom, A. Gunderson, R. Griese. Standing V. Brightman, J. Gchrlich, C. Gholz, M. Birkholz, B. Busse, R. Busdicker, A. Nordquist, A. Liebe, E. Mead.Although the college orchestra is comparatively small it is one of the most important musical organizations in the college. The orchestra provides an excellent opportunity for individual growth under the wise direction of Mr. Grimm; it also provides an opportunity of leaving the regular routine of school work and getting into a musical atmosphere. No doubt Mr. Grimm’s “clowning” plays an important part in putting the musicians in a receptive mood.
During the Christmas season the orchestra in conjunction with the vocal organizations of the college presented a program of music in keeping with the season. Usually the orchestra occupies the pit in front of the stage, or the stage proper, but on this occasion they played very effectively from the balcony. The orchestra played before and between the
acts of “Children of the Moon.” The longest program, devoted entirely to the orchestra, was the chapel program. The orchestra also played at the Hotel Winona for the Rotarians. Recently plans for an exchange of concerts with La Crosse Teachers College orchestra were completed. The Winona musicians plan to play at La Crosse on the eighteenth of May.
The orchestra is growing each year. During this past year three instruments have been added, the oboe, bassoon, and the French horn.
Although the orchestra is an extra curricular organization, one credit hour per quarter is given to those participâting.
Harlem Moen, first violinist, is assistant director and librarian.
The college band under the direction of Everett Edstrom, is an exceptionally active organization having made fifty-two public appearances thus far this year. Besides playing frequently at the football and basketball games, the band went on several out of town concert tours, averaging about seven per quarter.
At the present time sixty students are receiving instrumental band instruction at no additional cost to themselves. This year, twenty students with no previous experience have begun band work. Every student desiring private instruction, whether a beginner or an advanced musician, is urged to take advantage of the exceptional opportunities offered.
In connection with the college band is the experimental high school band at Mabel, Minnesota, directed by the EdStrom brothers, which offers field experfence in conducting and instrumental teaching for the advanced members of
the band. Charles Gholz, Roger Busdicker, and Bernard Busse are now acting as assistant conductors. The Mabel Band was state champion in its division in 1936, and served as clinical band at the Minnesota State Bandmaster’s convention in Minneapolis in April, 1937.
Not only has the college band, in toto, been very active, but the individual members of the band have, both in solo and ensemble work, entertained many clubs and organizations throughout the year.
This spring, the band will present its customary concert at the lakeside band shell as a part of the commencement exercises; and during the month of May, there will be weekly twilight concerts on the college lawn.
Officers of the band: Bernard Busse, president; Roy Griese, vice-president; Inez Wetmore, secretary; Paul Storti, librarian; and Everett Edstrom, Conductor.
The large membership of this newly organized High School Club is evidence of the professional spirit possessed by the students in the secondary field. The High School Club, which is open to any student interested in the junior or senior high school field, replaced the Junior High Club. The purpose of the High School Club is to promote interest in the high school movement in the Winona State Teachers College and throughout the state, and to gain a clearer insight into the problems of the high school teacher.
The program committee of this group has functioned effectively in providing programs for the regular meetings. Marion Clarke, LaVerne Bang, Gordon Vogard, and Frederick Nelson are responsible for these programs which are both educative and entertaining.
This year some of the speakers at various meetings of the club were Dr. Tozier whose subject was “Changes in the Secondary School Organization and Practice;’’ Dr. Lynch who spoke on the problem of dramatics in junior and senior high schools; Miss Marvin who talked about her trip to Japan; Mr. Fishbaugher who spoke on “Consumer’s Cooperatives’’; and Miss Brunner on “Land Reclamation.’’ In addition to talks the programs included musical selections given by the students.
Officers of the club are: George EngStrom, president; Marion Clarke, vicepresident; and Doris Johnson, secretarytreasurer. The advisers of the club are the high school supervisors: Misses Maurine Scovell and Beulah Brunner; Mr. Fishbaugher and Dr. Tozier.
More “best” teachers are needed. That’s why the Intermediate Club has regular monthly meetings to further their knowledge of better methods of teaching and to stimulate each prospective teacher’s interest in the intermediate field.
Because the intermediates are interested in everything and are eager to become educated in every field they sponsored a series of excursions to various places of interest. They visited the Interstate Packing Company, the Bay State Mill, and Father Libson’s Game refuge at Rollingstone.
The club has enjoyed several worthwhile meetings throughout the year. Miss Marvin talked about her trip to the Orient illustrating the different types
of clothing worn there. The children’s librarian of Winona, Miss Butler, gave an interesting lecture of “Children’s Literature.” Miss Micklus, a student of the college, spoke on the methods the blind use in reading, such as the Braille system and talking books. A valuable meeting was the discussion and suggestive addresses by the members concerning free material from business concerns, which is available for teachers.
The club participated in stunt night and sponsored an unusually successful school party on April 24.
The officers of the club are Helen Marek, president; Beatrice Jackson, vicepresident; Virginia Towner, secretarytreasurer, and the Misses E. Clark, Dalimann, and Cramer, advisers.
WE believe that Wordsw^orth was right when he said, “The Child is father of the Man,” so, the primary grades, in the child’s education, play an important part in molding his character. The Primary Club has thedual purpose of promoting interest and familiarity in this field of education and fostering comradeship among its members. Membership is open to all students interested in the primary department.
Social activities of the year included a party for the recognition of new members, a hike to Garvin Hights, followed by a weiner roast there, and a Christmas party. The club contributed a clever float to the Homecoming parade. The slogan.
“Watch us beat Stout,” was portrayed by a tall girl dressed as a schoolmaster whipping a short girl dressed to represent Stout.
Miss Dallmann spoke to the club on the “Youth Movement in Germany” and Mr. Reed gave an illustrated lecture on “Wild Rice.”
Mother Goose was the center of attention at one meeting. Talks on the value, history, and scope of Mother Goose Rhymes were given by members of the club. The meeting was ended with a contest in reciting Mother Goose rhymes.
At the April meeting each member told something of interest about her home town, and during May the traditional breakfast on the bluffs was held.

“In September there was the tea given by upperlcass kindergartners for freshman girls joining the Kindergarten club. When they joined, their affiliation brought the total membership to thirtyseven.
“How well I remember the club members scurrying around getting ready their unit for the homecoming parade. As I recall, it was one of bicycles with large slogans attached to them. The words of the slogans typified kindergarten activities and materials.
“Then there were the days when I’ve seen the student teachers and their supervisors getting ready for the meeting of the Mothers’ Club. This assistance
that they give helps prepare them for the organizing of Mothers’ clubs in the future.
“With the hustle and bustle of Christmas came the annual card sale for the maintenance of the scholarship fund, and the regular ‘Christmas Sing!’
“Another project the club sponsored was the making of scrapbooks for the children’s ward of the Winona General hospital.
“It seems to me that the club’s activities are well directed by Lois Ross, president; Laura Nelson, first vice president; Deloris Theisen, second vice president; Verdell Reilly, third vice president; Janet Foster, secretary; and Violette Warber, treasurer.
“The Misses Sutherland, Schwable, and Kjelland are club advisers.
“Tick tock, tick tock, I wonder what the rest of the years will bring?’’
Give them the country and they’ll improve the life there” might well be the motto of the Country Life Club. The club brings together students interested in rural education so they may study problems of teaching in the country as well as enjoy the comradeship of the group.
This year’s meetings have included a panel discussion of the Parent-Teachers’ Association, a model of a school board meeting, a discussion of 4-H Club work, a sleigh ride, and a Christmas program.
On April 24 members of the club attended a Country Life Club Day in La Crosse as guests of the La Crosse Teachers College Country Life Club. A joint program including numbers by both clubs was given for their mutual enjoy-
ment. A speaker, a picnic supper, and dancing were other features of the day. Last year a similar plan was carried out whenthe La Crosse club members were guests at Winona. Both days were very enjoyable and worthwhile. They provided an opportunity for members of the clubs to make new friendships and wide contacts in a group of college students having a common interest rural education and rural life.
Officers of the club are elected each quarter. Those who have presided during the spring quarter are; Ralph Stucki, president; Joyce Hagerthy, vice-president; Marion Niemela, secretary-treasurer; and Alice Pearson, program chairman. Misses Christensen and Bartsch are faculty advisers.
The funny thing about this group is that, although it is called the League of Women Voters, many of the members are not voters. A little matter of age requirement keeps some of them from voting. But when these politicallyminded women reach twenty-one they will certainly take an active part in the affairs oftheir government.
The purpose of this league is to promote interest in political questions among women and prepare them for intelligent voting. It is a non-partisan organization of three departments: First, efficiency in government; second, department of international cooperation to prevent war; and third, public welfare department.
Membership to the League of Women Voters is open to all the women of the college who are interested in current political problems.
Some of the topics discussed at the regular meetings of the club this year were: “Amendment Number Two,’’ “Social Security Act,’’ “Achievement of Peace Conference at Buenos Aires,” “European Situation in Spain,” “Merit System,” “Reorganization of Government.”
The League sends delegates to the annual state convention of the College League of Women Voters. This year Miss Esther Johnson was the delegate to the convention which was held in St. Paul on February 19, 1937. Miss Johnson also attended several sessions of the state legislature while she was in St. Paul.
The Officers of the club are: Frances Schultz, president; Mrs. Kathryn Kessels, vice-president; Mary Ivancie, secretary-treasurer. Miss Florence Richards is the adviser.
Rather serious looking group, isn’t it? But these students really aren’t as serious as they look. Not quite, anyway. These Newmanites are held together by a common bond, their religion. This Winona association is affiliated with the national organization of Newman Clubs. The purpose of the club is three-fold: religious, educational, and social.
Each quarter the Newmanites have a communion breakfast and each month a Sunday afternoon meeting. The activities of the club began this year at Stunt Night when the members presented their traditional style show. Members showed costumes which were appropriate for the various Newman Club functions throughout the year.
Each fall the Newmanites sponsor a picnic for the purpose of acquainting new Catholic students with the club.
Another annual affair of this group is a sleigh ride party. Each year the Newmanites encounter great difficulty in selecting a date when there is plenty of snow and suitable weather for sleighing. This year the sleigh ride was held during February. An abundance of snow and mild weather combined to offer favorable conditions which resulted in a very large turnout for the sleigh ride.
An interesting record of Newman Club activities is the scrap book which contains pictures, programs, and souvenirs of the meetings. Ursula Costello, chairman, and Mary Fehring have had charge of the scrap book this year.
The officers of the club are : Roy Griese, president, Lucille Kennebeck, vice-president; Delbert Roche, secretary; Bernard Busse, treasurer. Miss Ella Clark is the adviser.

The Art Club through membership in the American Federation of Art has been able to sponsor a number of exhibits. The outstanding project of the year is the annual “Prom” which the Art Club sponsors. Working out a gay theme and preparing the decorations for the prom takes much of superior skill and they’ve got it.
Some of their other activities include decorating the building for the homecoming festivities, a float in the homecoming parade, art exhibits, lectures, parties, and making Christmas wrapping paper.
During the year there were program meetings at which talks and demonstra-
tions pertaining toart were given, work meetings in which members experimented, and occasional teas and parties.
The aims of the Art Club are:
To further interest in art;
To raise the standards in art work;
To assist in art problems related to college work.
The members of the club feel that these aims are carried out because each member works earnestly throughout the year. The membership of the club is limited to twenty-five members, although anyone may try out. There are opportunities for try-outs at the beginning of each quarter.
Officers of the club are: Ethel Kreutz, president; Arden Burleigh, vice-president; Elsie Finkelnburg, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Dorothy Clark, adviser.
Before any student can join the W’ Club he must earn a purple “W” which signifies he has completed a suecessful season in one or more of the three major sports: football, basketball, and track. Because of this qualification the membership in the club is limited. A great many of the members are Phy. Ed. majors.
The outstanding event of the year was the “W” club banquet which formally ended the football season. The guest speaker was Mr. F. R. Adams, superintendent of schools at Marshall, Minnesota. The program, which was conducted by Victor Gislason, toastmaster and president of the club, included talks by President Maxwell, Horace Chase, captain of the football team, Eddie
Cohen, publicity man, Mr. Jackson, and Mr. Galligan.
Two of the primary purposes of the club are; to develop an active interest in the various phases of sport, and to further the ideals of a true athlete and sportsman.
At the last meeting of the club the awarding of jackets was suggested. Also at this meeting new conference rules were discussed.
Now that spring is in the air the club is seriously planning on the annual picnic which has come to be a tradition with the club.
Officers of the club are: Victor Gislason, president; Mervale Wolverton, vice-president; Loren Jorris, secretarytreasurer; Mr. Galligan is club adviser.
The Men’s Club, composed of the men students of the college, is the largest club in the college. Because of the large membership the club confines itself to a few major activities.
In the fall of the year, the incoming Freshman had the privilege of expressing their admiration for the college and the upper classmen by performing various and sundry tasks: Carrying books, holding doors open, pressing trousers, running errands, and other unclassified activities. This Men’s club activity was climaxed by a successful party in the college gym, and the members felt satisfied that they had uncovered a surprising amount of individual talent among the underclassmen.
During the last few years some objectionable features of the initiation have been eliminated so that now the initia-
tion comes nearer to achieving one of the aims of theMen’s Club to help the freshmen get acquainted as soon as possible, to break down any social barriers that might exist, and to instill in the men of the college a feeling of oneness, an esprif de corps.
The club has a few major meetings each year. Usually these meetings precede the activities which the club sponsors. Erection of a flag pole in Maxwell field was considered during the last meeting.
On May 20, the club invited the school to an all college party in the “gym” to dance to the music of Hal Leonard’s Orchestra.
The officers of the club are Lyle Arns, president; Arthur Hoblitt, vice president; and Harold Grudem, secretarytreasurer; Mr. MacDonald, adviser.

The Young Women’s Christian Association is primarily a service club. In the fall, old members were assigned “Big Sister” duties to the freshmen girls to help them become acquainted. Miss Sutherland spoke on “Friendship” at the annual Friendship Day program in chapel. Following the speech Y.W.C.A. members distributed flowers to be worn that day by students and faculty.
Early in the year the club also gave a “get-acquainted tea” for the women of the college.
At Christmas time the club carried
out two projects: making stuffed oilcloth animal toys which were given to the Margaret Simpson Home to be distributed to the poor, and going to the countypoor farm to sing carols and bring gifts.
Seventy college women took the sixweek’s course in Girl Reserve Leadership offered by Miss Bush of the local Y.W. C.A. and sponsored by the college club.
Social meetings of the club included a treasure hunt, a sleigh ride, a picnic, and talks by Miss Harmacek and Mrs. Thomssen.
Officers for the past year were: Betty Washburn, president; Pauline Abel, vicepresident and social chairman; Pearl Berge, secretary; and Hazel Heldt, treasurer. Miss Richards and Miss Kramer are the club advisers.

This year the plan of providing athletic activity for both men and women was tried in the form of co-recreational games. This is as it should be, and the plan proved popular. Our athletic program now consists of inter-scholastic contests, intra-mural competition, and friendly
play activity involving both men and women. We believe that there no longer exists any need or reason for a sharp division between the men’s and women’s athletic sections in the yearbook. For that reason we have attempted to fuse the two in this book to suggest the close cooperation that is coming about.
ONE of the best and most varied programs of interscholastic and intramural athletics ever offered by the college was enjoyed by the students during the past year. The program was valuable both from the standpoint of games won and lost in the interscholastic competition and in the participation of a majority of the college in some form of athletic activity.
The highlight of the varsity sports year was probably the winning of the City Title by Warrior teams both in football and basketball. While the gridders won but two games this season they did win those they most wanted to cop the Homecoming battle with Stout Institute of Menomonie and the city title clash with the Redmen of St. Mary’s. Games were lost to Duluth, St. Cloud, Mankato, Bemidji, and Columbia. The Purple and White eleven held the powerful La Crosse Maroons to a scoreless tie.
The basketball five enjoyed its most successful team in years. The Warriors finished second in the Northern Teachers College Conference with five wins in seven games. Against all competition
the cagers set up the fine record of fourteen wins and three defeats. Lyle Arns, a dynamo at forward, was honored by selection at a forward post on the allconference team as selected by the coaches. Ralph Spencer, freshman guard, was placed on the second all-conference team.
The track, tennis, golf, and baseball teams are ready to go on attractive schedules set up by the Athletic Director G. E. Galligan. Baseball has been elevated to the status of a major sport along with football, basketball, and track. Two changes in coaching personnel were made during the past year, M. R. Raymond succeeds W. E. Boots as tennis coach, while R. B. Tozier has taken over Mr. French’s duties of coaching the golfers.
The intramural schedules were set up and played off under the capable guidanee of this intramural board. A new high in student participation and interest in intramural athletics was noted. An interesting change in the lineup of the intramural volleyball league was the entrance of a faculty team.
AT THE outset of the season, the prospects were attractive for Harry R. Jackson, newly appointed football coach, and Glen E. Galligan with seven veterans returning among the forty candidates reporting. Bright as the outlook was at the start, injuries reversed the picture by claiming a number of experienced men.
In the first contest on September 19, Duluth, conference champions in 1936, poured its heavy barrage of man-power through Winona’s light line to amass a score of 25 to 0. Coach Jackson sustained a serious loss in the tilt when Victor Gislason retired permanently from Purpie football togs because of a fractured hand.
La Crosse, traditional rivals, met her equal, September 26 in the Purple and White, who staved off a desperate third quarter drive of the down-river team to emerge morally triumphant with a 0 to 0 score. Captain Horace Chase was lost for the season because of a dislocated vertebra in this game.
A safety in the first period with Bemidji on October 2 proved to be the decided break for the Northerners. All later attempts to score were futile, and so the Winonans left the field on the short end of a 2 to 0 count.
In the homecoming tilt on October 17 with Stout, the Warriors carried their banner high, driving home the initial victory, 6 to 0. The touchdown came as
a result of a determined 75-yard drive which culminated in Arns’ sneak over the line from the one yard marker.
St. Cloudoverwhelmed Coach Jackson’s men in a 21 to 0 defeat on October 23 Journeying to Mankato, Winona found stiff opposition and that coupled with a number of injuries resulted in a 21 to 0 defeat. Although Winona outplayed Columbia on November 7, a lack of scoring punch handicapped, and a loss, 6 to 2, was recorded.
The most pleasing event of the season was the renewal of football relations with St. Mary’s College. In the Armistice Day game, the first meeting since
1929 Winona climaxed and ornamented her record with a well-earned victory over their inter-city rivals. The Warriors employed to advantage their punting ability in ankle-deep mud to emerge a 7 to 0 victor. In a post-season bouquet. Bob Thurley was selected as an end on the second All-Star conference team.
Graduation will cut deeply into this year’s squad. Captain Horace Chase, Victor Gislason, Myles Peterson, Fritz Gislason, Robert Thurley, and George Engstrom all will be absent next year, but a promising group of newcomers have established themselves during 1936 to enclose the future in potentiality.
The most successful cage season in many years was completed by the Warriors this year. Playing a tough seventeen-game schedule, the Purple and White won fourteen tussles against only three defeats. Only once were they outclassed, and then by the powerful Duluth Bulldogs who have been rolling up onesided basketball victories over strong foes for the last three years.
Winona won the city basketball title for the first time since the resumption of the rivalry with the St. Mary’s College five. After downing the Redmen 34 to 29 at the College gym in their first post-holiday game, the Warriors defeated the Krausemen rather easily at Terrace Heights by a 38 to 27 margin.
After losing two of their first three games, the Purple and White finished the season with thirteen wins in fourteen starts. In the Northern Teachers College conference Winona’s record was five wins and two defeats, good for second place. Twin victories were scored over Mankato and Bemidji while St. Cloud was easily defeated here. Duluth, conference champs for the third consecutive year, invaded Winona for a one-sided 42 to 26 win while the Warriors’ other defeat occurred at St. Cloud.
Lyle Arns with 162 points, averaged just a fraction under ten points per game to lead the individual scoring for Winona. Captain John Wachs and Ralph Spencer followed with 108 and 102 points
respectively w^hile Bob Parker had 93 and Berger Ostmoe had 77.
Ten varsity cagers won letter awards for their work during the past season. They are: Arns, Ostmoe, Wachs and Laudon, all forwards; Parker and Grudem centers; and Andrejek, Spencer, Morse and Vic Gislason, guards.
Lyle Arns was placed at forward by the coaches, who picked a N.T.C.C. AllConference team. Ralph Spencer was named a second team guard. The teams as selected by the coaches follows:
First Team
Second Team
Moren, Duluth.. .F Nelson, Bemidji
ARNS, Winona.... F... Pennington, Mankato
Witham, Bemidji. .C.. .Odanovich, St. Cloud
Barle, Duluth G.. .SPENCER, Winona
Gorham, Duluth. .G Hoerr, Mankato
The only squad members lost by graduation are Captain Wachs and Vic Gis-
lason, so the outlook for next year is very promising.
The following are the results of the season’s games:
Winona. .34 Rochester J. C.. .15
Winona. .25 Gustavus Adol... ..29

The prospects for a good track team looked none too bright to Coach Galligan at the beginning of the season. Such valuable men as Zimmerhakl, O’Gara, R. Peterson, Pawelek, McCown, Rothwell, Chase, Kozlowski and others were lost through graduation and other reasons. The relay team lost three of its championship men, retaining only Jorris. Indications, therefore, point toward a weakness in the dashes and the relay but the presence of such weight-men as Farmer, Spencer, Grimm, Wolverton and others should do much in overcoming a traditionally weak point in Winona teams.
A large number of new men are working out and show evidence of becoming point-winners before long. A new, larger and better track permits regular workouts under contest conditions
something that was missed last year because the track was torn up.
A few capable lettermen remain from last year’s squad. They are. Bill Franzmann and Willy Carlson on the hurdles and dashes; Stew Farmer, shot and discus; Eddie Barski, middle distances; Loren Jorris, dashes and relay; and Hal Grudem, in the longer distances.
Some of the newer members of the team are coming along with a rush and will probably prove valuable assets to the team. Among them are “Scoop” Dettloff, a menacing 440 man. Art Andrejek and Merv Wolverton in the polevault; Ottman, Grimm and Fjetland in the high jump. John Quaday, in the distance runs, has improved greatly over last year and should cop his share of points. Welton, Hassinger and Fritz Gislason look good in the dashes. Bur-
leigh, in winning the novice meet low hurdles showed exceptional form and stamped himself as a running mate for Franzmann and Carlson.
The schedule of meets for this season includes a meet at La Crosse on May 7, a quadrangular meet here, May 12th, a dual meet with Mankato, here, on the twenty-first of May and the state meet with the other five teachers colleges of the state at Moorhead on May 29th. Plans at present indicate that Coach Galligan will take a few men to Minneapolis to run in a meet at the University
track on the 14th of May.
Since a large portion of the team is “green,” there is not too much optimism shown for results this year, but Coach Galligan is grooming his men to make a strong showing or possibly winning the title in the Northern Teachers College Conference in the 1938 season.
Results of last year’s competition were a loss to La Crosse, a win over Eau Claire and La Crosse in a triangular meet, a loss to Mankato in a dual meet and second place behind Mankato at the state meet.
VOLLEYBALL is one of the popular sports of the college and is turned to hj a large number of college men for diversion from the regular routine of things. It affords opportunity for exercise, cooperation and clean competition to anyone who wishes to take part.
At the opening of the spring quarter
those men interested in volleyball were apportioned to seven teams by the intramural board. This group sees that intramural games are run off on schedule. The faculty formed an eighth team and ended the race in sixth place. At the close of the season team No. 3 headed the list with a total of 284 points.
It has been rumored that volleyball is no longer a game of skill in this college, but rather that the team having the largest number of good arguers was destined to win. Some teams even went on “sit-down strikes’’ during games trying to win their point. It was all in the spirit of fun, however, and the season came to an end all too soon for the participants.
The 1936-37 intramural basketball race was marked by the closeness of the battles and by the frequent occurrence of upsets. The Brewers finally won out in a playoff victory over the Jeeps after the two teams had ended the schedule tied at five wins and two defeats apiece.
As usual, the players entered in the intra-murals were limited to those who were non-varsity members. The men who signed up for the cage sport were grouped into eight teams of eight players each. A round-robin schedule was played.
The Brewers, losers in two of their first three games, copped five straight to win the title. The Redbirds set the pace for the first four games but lost out at the finish as they dropped three in a row. They probably were the champion inand-outers. They defeated both the Brewers and the Jeeps but could not win over teams which finished in the second division.
Llewellyn Wilson of the Brewers ran away with the league scoring title as he counted 76 points in the 7 regularly scheduled games. Loren Wood was second in the individual scoring.
An all-star team was picked by a vote of the league players:
Faced with the results of heavy losses through graduation, but basking in the light of potential candidates, Dr. M. R. Raymond is taking over the coaching duties of the Purple and White tennis squad, champions of the Northern State Teachers College conference since 1933, who this year must prepare for meets with St. Mary’s College, La Crosse,
Mankato, and St. Cloud, in addition to the State tournament games at Moorhead. May 29th.
From last season’s championship team
Ted Rothwell, Louis Hoover, Eddie Cohen, Irving Thomas only Captain Cohen of Eveleth and Thomas of Minneapolis remain, but Walter Nosek, of Proctor, Winona city champion and
Harry Johnson, Proctor, provide excellent skill on which Coach Raymond may shape his Winonans in preparation for the defense of their impressive record and the acquiring of new laurels.
The team will be initiated into competition when La Crosse plays on the local courts. May 1. Inter-college rivalry with St. Mary’s will be continued on May 4th, which is to be followed by a match against St. Cloud in Winona on May 8th. A return meet with La Crosse is scheduled on May 11th. After another local match with the Mankato Peds on May 21, the Warriors will oppose St. Mary’s on May 25 in the final preliminary contest before the state meet. At
the time of writing there is a possibility of adding Rochester Junior College on the schedule. Contenders in the tournament, who compete for the title of “state champions,’’ will this year be the guests of Moorhead Teachers College on May 29, in conjunction with the N.T.C.C. track and field meet.
For four consecutive seasons the Purpie and White tennis teams have held the Winona banner to the very top in State competition, and this year under the new tutorship of Coach Raymond, Mr. Boots, having voluntarily retired from the coaching position, the college renews its hopes for success on the court.
Golf is beginning to have a more important place in the recreational activities of the college student.’’ Thus Dr. Roy B. Tozier, in taking over the coaching duties of the Warrior golf squad, symbolizes and predicts the continned progress in the student golfing program of Winona Teachers.
Previous to this season the policy has been to have a faculty sponsor presiding over the golf team, but this year. Dr. Tozier, in addition to giving golf a more important position, will broaden his duties into actual coaching. For material he has three veterans John Wachs, Winona, Berger Ostmoe Columbia Heights, and William Bixby, Wyeville and some promising newcomers.
The complete schedule, at the time of the writing, has not been announced. However, two matches will undoubtedly be played against St. Mary’s, as well as a similar series of matches with the Rochester Junior College. Several other
colleges in the near vicinity are being considered by Athletic Director Glen E. Galligan as possible opponents for the Purple golfers. Again a state golf tournament is to be held, this year simultaneously with the State Track and Field Meet at Moorhead on May 29th. At the present time officials of the golf program have not stated whether the Winona team will participate. The final decision will be based on the proficiency of the squad.
As in previous years, the college is offering the use of six memberships at the Westfield golf course to any student desiring to play. There is a decided movement astir to organize the teams of the Northern State Teachers college conference on a competitive golfing basis. Whatever the outcome of these plans will be, within the college and intercollegiately, one thing is positive the direction.
The baseball team of the college, coached by Stanley Pawelek, will show what it can do this year by playing a three-game series with St. Mary’s College, two games with Mankato Teachers College, and two with Stout Institute. At present no other games have been scheduled or played.
A rainy spring necessitated a late start
for practice and made regular practice uncertain. One practice game with the Polish National Alliance team was postponed two times because of the wet weather. With the beginning of May, the weather is more promising and Coach Pawelek hopes to send a good, if not tested, team on the field against its opponents.
As this is only the second baseball team to represent the college for several years, a great amount of interest has not yet been aroused, but enthusiasm will probably rise after a few games are played.
New equipment and new uniforms have been purchased, so the men will have the necessary tools with which to work and will make a good appearance on the field.
Myles Peterson is the captain of the
nine and will likely hold down the catching position. For possible pitchers, Pawelek looks to Arns, Spencer, Kaczrowski, Dettloff and A. Wilson to find the right man or men. Spencer will play third base as well as pitch; Kaczrowski will be in the shortstop position, and A. Wilson will be on second. First base position is pretty well cinched by L. Wilson. Fielders will include: Barski, Wood, Smith, Bratrud, Kalbrenner, and Thurley.
The annual all-college boxing tournament held in the library gymnasium was the climax of the training the members of the boxing class had been getting throughout the winter quarter. Dave Honigs was again in charge of the instruction of the thirteen class members. He was assisted by Bob Thurley, a four-year veteran and welterweight champion.
Coach Honigs used most of the quarter in teaching his pupils the fundamentals the jab, the straight right, and the hooks. During the remainder of the twelve week period the boxers were paired off in the various weight classes for one and two round sparring matches. The class met twice a week during the regular class period and irregularly on other days.
Four champions were crowned in the various weight divisions during the tournament. The bouts were all two-round affairs with an extra round in case of a draw. An interesting feature of the
finals was the fight between Thurley and Wolverton, a southpaw. These two boxers fought so evenly that no decision could be reached at the end of the three rounds. They will hold jointly the 165 pound championship.
Ross Donehower in the 155 pound class was probably the outstanding boxer in the tournament with the possible exception of Thurley and Wolverton. Donehower defeated Leonard Durrant and Eddie Barski to win his title. Other champions who were decided are Clifton Johnson, Lee Christenson, and John Laakso. All of these men will receive medals.
The list of champions follows:
135 pounds Clifton Johnson.
145 pounds Lee Christenson.
155 pounds Ross Donehower.
165 pounds Robert Thurley and Merv Wolverton.
175 pounds —John Laakso.
For the first time that we know the pictures of theMen’s Intramural Board and the Women’s Athletic Board are being printed on the same page. We
do not mean to imply by this arrangement that the men have become sissies or that the women have suddenly become a crowd of tom-boys. Far from that.
we believe the men are as virile as ever, and the women as feminine. Both groups have, however, come to the realization that it is neither effeminate or rowdy-ish
to engage in athletic games with persons of the other sex. Therefore, we show them together.
The intramural board is concerned with providing pleasant athletic activity for as large a number of persons as possible. This committee works in perfect accord with the idea of interscholastic competition, but realizes that a system providing only such competition is inadequate in caring for the athletic needs of a group of college men.
The board arranges and runs off tournaments in various sports. These tournaments are usually round-robin affairs.
The W.A.A. board has a function similar to that of the intramural board for men. They aim also to provide a wide and well-rounded program of sports so that there will be a range of activities to suit various interests and to entice an ever-increasing number of people into athletic activity. In addition to coopcrating in the presenting of the corecreational games, the board fosters a wide variety of activities for women.
The final or title-establishing games often create nearly as much interest and comment as do some of the varsity games. The board tries to plan the teams competing so that there will not be too great a variance of ability between groups.
Tournaments were held in basketball, volleyball this year. In addition, the board cooperated with the women’s board in planning and supervising the co-recreational games.
Among them are; tennis, golf, kittenball, volleyball, hockey, soccer, horseshoe, skating, skiing, tobogganing, basketball, indoor baseball, deck tennis, hand tennis, paddle tennis, ping pong, badminton, shuflleboard, and quoits.
The two boards are rendering a valúable and important service to the student body by providing the means for an interesting, healthful form of recreation.
O-EDUCATIONAL recreation has been engaged in by the majors in physical education for three or four years, but this is the first year that a program for all students and faculty has been inaugurated. This mixed-group activity offers all an opportunity to meet in a play situation, which is the most natural one. Throughout the East and in California, this movement seems to be rapidly growing more popular as it is in our own institution. In our school this co-activity has taken the form of recreational games, folk-dancing and clogging: activities which have proved most popular.
Equipment for such games as badmin-
ton, volleyball, deck tennis, ping pong, darts, hand tennis and paddle tennis is provided for use by anyone in the afternoons. Volleyball is a good game for mixed groups because most people have learned to play this game in high school. With an even number of men and women on each team, real competition is afforded as well as much fun. Badminton is suited to almost anyone wanting activity, for the reason that it is fun merely to fool around with the light racquet and shuttle-cocks; however, great dexterity can be attained in playing. It is a fast, skillful game when play is perfected.
The men’s and women’s physical education departments have, with the aid
of students selected by the W.A.A. and Intramural boards supervised this social hour in the gym in which the whole sitnation is very informal. People come when they can, and play as long as they are interested or have time. Brief instructions were given at the beginning of the season but participants help anyone who needs or desires assistance. Often spectators gathered to watch the play and a few exhibition matches were played. A person chancing to be present when this activity is being carried on would see that the players are enjoying themselves to the utmost extent and would observe that here men and women easily make social contacts, whether watching or participating, develop numerous skills, and learn to play games which during school as well as in days to come will always be a means of helping them to meet worthwhile people and to adjust to a new community.
Many of our men and women avail themselves of the opportunity of receiving instruction in folk dancing and
clogging from Miss Pendergast. These classes are required for majors in the “phy ed” field but may be used as electives by any student. The folk dancing class made its own costumes and presented a number of dances for a meeting of superintendents, for a chapel program and for a nearby high school. It is at first surprising to find our athletic heroes tripping lightly and swinging their feminine partners with a gentle grace, but what is more natural? This is one of our traditions given to us by our oldworld ancestors as a spontaneous selfexpression and a means of relaxation from toil. Don’t, however, be led to think that it is not a vigorous activity. Football men have been heard to remark that it is more strenuous than playing a game of football.
The mixed-group activities, initiated as an experiment to our school, seem by their popularity to be an established part of the physical education program to be enlarged and to become even more popular in the future.
Miss Helen A. Pendergast, director of women’s athletics in our college, has accepted a position at Louisiana State University for next year. It was Miss Pendergast who initiated our program of co-recreation and who in many other ways enlarged and bettered the physical education program in our school. We feel that Louisiana State is gaining much and that we are losing not a little when Miss Pendergast assumes her duties there this summer.
We have been fortunate in having her here these past six years. During
this time. Miss Pendergast has had several articles published in state and national magazines, has delivered lectures and led round-table discussions and generally promoted the physical education for women. Not only the majors and minors in her own department but students throughout the college have been inspired by her sincerity, progressiveness and heart-felt interest.
Though we regret our loss, we sincerely wish Miss Pendergast the high success of which she is deserving in her new position.
The Women’s Athletic board and the Physical Education department offer a well-rounded program for all girls of the college. Not only are students given a well organized Physical education program, but they are favored with excellent facilities for play. The city and Teachers
College both offer fine tenins courts and the city lends the use of its golf course to all college students. The hills provide a splendid hiking, skiing and tobogganing ground, and the river and lakes offer swimming, skating, and boating in season.
A basketball tournament for girls is held every winter. These games prove very exciting and worthwhile. Practice periods are provided for the inexperienced to learn and for the more advanced girls to assist others and improve themselves.
In both the spring and fall, tennis and golf are offered to the girls in classes and after school. Every spring the W.A.A. sponsors a tennis tournament.
The W.A.A. sponsors an open swim night which is held once a week at the Y.W.C.A. There is also a class in swimming for majors and minors. In this class, the girls learn how to swim, how to teach others and how to become efficient teachers of swimming.
In the spring, instruction is offered after school for anyone interested in track or field events. Old skills are perfected and many new onesare mastered. The discus, shot put and javelin throw prove popular because of their novelty to most girls.
Field hockey and soccer are outstanding fall sports. The skills are taught in classes, a tournament is played after school, and technics are given in coaching and refereeing.
A volleyball tournament is played every spring by girls who are interested in this sport. Many girls who don’t turn out for other sports find volleyball a very interesting game.
Indoor baseball, played outside is the ball game popular in the spring. It is a fast game, but not as strenuous as baseball. The familiarity of most of the girls with this game always assures a good tournament.
Classes in elementary and advanced folk dancing and clogging are offered. Both boys and girls participate in these classes. On special occasions demonstrations of the skills are given while the class is in costume.
The Physical Education Club is composed of majors and minors in the field of physical education. It was organized by Miss Lewis, Physical education instructor in 1921, and has been an active organization in the school life since that time. The purposes of the club are to promote a feeling of unity among members of the group and to raise the standards and ideals in physical education. The motto is “Play for Play’s sake.’’
The year’s program consisted of numerous meetings and of play meetings in which the members engaged in seasonal sports. Speakers whose interests are related to physical education promotion have contributed to the club. Dr. Meinert of the Winona clinic spoke on the subject “What Physical Education Teachers Should Know about Health.’’
Members of the club this year attended
theannual play day at Carleton College.
An annual All-Women’s Party is sponsored by the Physical Education Club and the Women’s Athletic Board each fall. This year the clubs were responsible for an especially jolly party. The guests came in informal attire and participated heartily in the various games and contests. Some of these were volleyball, dart throwing, deck tennis, ping pong, running games and jumping games. Suecess in any game gave the person a certain number of points. The person who had the largest number of points received a prize. The very delightful evening was climaxed by large group folk dances directed by Miss Pendergast.
The officers of the club are: Lois Simons. President; Harriet Krage, Vice President; Gayle Graham, SecretaryTreasurer; Miss Pendergast, Adviser; Miss Talbot, Adviser.

As an innovation in the policy of our Winonan paper, it has been suggested that we run two front pages each time. The reason for this is the fact that very high advertising rates can be secured for front page advertising, thus increasing the advertising revenue plenty. We know all our readers will be pleased to hear of this proposed radical but very advantageous change.
Swell idea, don’t you think? There only seems to be one flaw that I can see we carry no advertising on the front page. But who cares?

The old rules of etiquette are not built to stand the gaff of this mad pace we keep, and it is inevitable that correct form must adjust itself to changing conditions and customs. We owe great thanks therefore, to themodern drug store, which has brought upheaval to the old eating regime.
Liston to this, you lads and lassies, the ‘‘worm has turned.”
Just as, when lunching at a drug store counter, it is neither propitious (means ‘gracious’ I hope) nor possible to draw out a young lady’s stool for her, so in the same environment diners no longer resort to the old method of retiring under the table to finish off a chicken bone in the fingers.
The new procedure was nicely demonstrated in our own well-frequented Steak Shop one Sunday afternoon (so many things happen on Sunday afternoon). Two young men whose names I shan’t reveal were each eating One Half Young Spring Chicken, French Fried Potatoes 50c.
Came the moment when they had to decide whether to call it a day or pick up the bones in their fingers. Without an instant’s hesitation, the first young man whisked out a
paper napkin and held it up while his friend gnawed busily behind the improvised screen.
‘‘O. K.?” he asked. “Yep,” said the gnawer, putting down the bone. Then he took up the paper napkin shield while the first one lit tooth and nail into his chicken.
The system undoubtedly works just as well for corn on the cob, watermelon, or the more complicated versions of the threedecker sandwich. So, I leave you with the thought, ‘‘When in doubt remember, that necessity is the mother of invention!”

23- Do you ask people to bring up your meals to you?
24 Do you remind people of your fragilities due to a recent operation?
25. Do you attempt to “pun”? Now find the total of all your answers. The worst possible score you can get is 100; the best is 0.

Laura Agnes Devine.A poet, he would walk along. His feet alone upon the ground
We walk on
His soul, an albatross, high-flying. With power to change
The thoughts and words of everyday
Into lyric poems, smooth-flowing; But then, some earthy soul
Talked earnestly to him
Convinced him of the folly
Of writing “frilly” things. In short, he killed the albatross.
So now our poet walks. His feet, his eyes, his very soul
Upon the ground we walk on.
