Winona State Teachers College stands for the principle that in order to serve more faithfully one must learn to live more fully. In recording the events and activities of this institution the members of the Wenonah Staff have endeavored to present a true cross section of the fuller college life—a recording that will not only present a faithful scene of the college today, but will also serve as a summation of college ideals to be referred to in future years for a renewal of inspiration in life and in service.

We dedicate with sincere appreciation this volume of student life to one who has unsparingly given of her effort and time to the journalistic achievements of the school. Higher than that, we pay tribute to one who has shared with us her deep interpretations of life, her fine sense of humor, her high idealism of service, and her broad vision of people.

Juniers

The Junior class this year has the largest enrollment ever achieved in the school’s history, the number being fifty-seven. The Junior class of 1937 had an enrollment of forty-six. This gain in size shows an increased interest in the fouryear degree coilrse. Students are realizing the necessity of degree training in preparation for the teaching profession.

Juniors are found in all of the college organizations, contributing extensively to the two college publications, musical organizations, athletic, and scholastic organizations.

The quality of the freshman class is a determining factor in forecasting the amount of scholarship, initiative, and social success the college may expect during the next three years. This being true, the fine standard of Winona will be upheld, and a better college is assured for the future. Several class members have achieved scholastic recognition. Worthwhile participation in the various clubs by many of this group has added to the success of these organizations.

The Newman Club

In 1919 a club was formed by a group of students with a common thought—religion. It was known as the Student Catholic Association, and its activities were mostly social. In 1928 it became affiliated with the Newman Club, a national organization of Catholic students. Since then the purpose of the club has been three-fold: religious, educational, and social.

Each quarter the club has a communion breakfast at which leading Catholic men and women speak on subjects of special interest. Each month a Sunday afternoon study club is held at the St.Thomas School. A picnic, a sleighride, and the construetion of a souvenir scrap book compíete the year’s program.

This year, for the first time in the history of the Winona Association, pins were ordered to signify that the Winona members are also members of a national organization.

First row: D. Nepper, P. Abrahamson, M. Green, D. Tentis, E. Beaudin (secretary), Miss Clark, D. Roche (president), J. Downing (vice-president), D. Skalicky, M. Jenia, D. Waby. Second row: K.

Scholtes, M. Burke, D, Busse. Fourth rów: J. Kos, G. McVey, W. Kohner, L. Walsh, B. Busse, A. Christenson, R. Ahern, T. MacAvoy.

This year the Wenonah Players adopted with facility “Dr. Jekyll-andMr. Hyde” qualities, so to speak, ranking high in the field of dramatic and Social contacts, scientificinvestigâtions, and private, personal development.

Its fall production, “The Black Flamingo”, with its delightful character roles, unusual setting, and extraordinary mood, proved a success.

“The Nativity,” a pantomime given with the aid of the Mixed Chorus, commemorated the Christmas spirit.

The first Greek play produced in this college, “The Frogs” by Aristophanes, was directed by the club and participated in by the entire college.

One-act plays and reading contests for high school students were also sponsored by the Players.

Guard membership is awarded those having shown outstanding service as leaders and directors.

Under the guidance of Mr. Grimm, the college orchestra has fulfilled its promise of providing a musical atmosphere in the college. The orchestra is an active, growing, extra-curricular organization giving one credit hour per quarter to those participating.

The orchestra gave concerts during the year for the Rotary Club at the Hotel Winona, the Community Concerts Association Banquet, the Alumni Round-Up, and chapel programs.

Officers during the year were:

President RobertOstrom

Vice-President Bernard Busse

Secretary-Treasurer Alice Selness

Librarian Harlem Moen

Assistant Librarian Vernon Hoyt

The Crchestra

Die-Nc-Ai€

As a live-wire organization of the college, Die-No-Mo Club had a busy year sponsoring Homecoming, the annual Die-No-Mo Show, and keeping the school spirit on a high level. With the beginning of the football season, the club elected as cheer leaders, Vivian Kangas, Evelyn Rutherford, and Edward Siebold, and throughout the year backed the athletic program by pep-fests. This year the Homecoming parade was under the direction of Everett Edstrom; Vivian Kangas supervised the snake dance and pepfest; and Lyle Ams had charge of the dance:

The Eand

An outstanding musical organization of the institution is the college band under the direction of Everett Edstrom. Besides playing at football and basketball games, the band gives about seven concerts a quarter. Many tours to neighboring towns are ineluded in the year’s program.

On the average, there are about forty members in the band throughout the year. A number of students are receiving individual instruction in band work. Awards for band are given each year to those who have worked faithfully.

Officers of the band are: Charles Gholz, president ; Robert Schuh, vicepresident; Inez Wetmore, business manager; Everett Edstrom, sponsor; Bernard Busse and Charles Gholz, assistants.

“The man that hath no music in his soul, and is not moved by concord of sweet sounds-—-” Mendelssohn offers to its members an opportunity for the interpretation and appreciation of much fine vocal music.

Under Mr. Grimm’senthusiastic direction the young women sing for school activities throughout the year, climaxing their efforts with a formal annual spring concert in the auditorium. The concert this year was held on May 6, with Ramona Gerhardt as guest artist.

During the year the club sang at the Alumni Roundup, the Southeastern Minnesota Educational Association Meeting, and for the Rotary Club. The group went carolling at the hospital at Christmas, also singing at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and at Choate’s Store.

The Mendelssehn Club

First row: J. Downing, M. Brightman, H. Smith, A. Nordquist, L, Hilden, V. Hanke, Mr. Grimm, G. Grimm, S. Wegner, H. Eifealdt, J. Haug, B. Coe, L. Simons, K. Grimm. Second row: E. Nelsen, D. Busse, L. Jensen, B. Sunde, G. Graham, J. Lehnertz, K. Crotty, C. Duncanson, A. Grier, L. Hadler, J. Lee, J. Foster, S. Christianson.

For eight years, the Apollo Club has busied itself with instilling a love for and an appreciation of the best in music in its members. Under the capable direction of Mr. A. H. Langum, the sixteen men who comprise the club are trained in vocal work.

Its annual spring tour was outstanding for three reasons: the club used the Teachers College bus this year for the first time ; their efficient business manager was able to book a bigger and better tour, lasting from March 28 to April 7, and covering more than thirteen hundred miles ; as a special attraction the club had as its guest artist, Mr. Harlem Moen, violinist.

The annual spring concert was given Friday, April 8, with Mrs. Corinne Frank Bowen, a lyric soprano,, as guest artist.

The Mixed Chorus

Mrs. Leslie Johnson ably directed the Mixed Chorus while she was teaching in college in Miss Agnes Bard’s place during the fall quarter and first half of the winter quarter; Mr. Grimm directed the chorus the last half of the year.

Membership in the organization ineludes persons in the Mendelssohn Club, the Apollo Club, and other interested students of the college who can sing well. The chorus this year was made up of about thirty-five members.

Public appearances were made by the mixed chorus at the Christmas party, a chapel period in December, and several times in the spring.

The Masen Music Club

The Mason Music Club, which has been functioning since 1920, revised its constitution this year. Since the club is dedicated to the promotion of good music, it has directed this year’s activities toward that goal. The organ roll recitals held weekly were sponsored by this organization. Several concerts were also presented. In addition to activity within the school, the club sponsored musical groups to appear before organizations outside the school.

The Mason Music Club took charge of a bus trip to La Crosse to hear a concert given by the Vienna Boys’ Choir. The student body was given the privilege of accompanying the club to La Crosse. Several parties and picnics rounded out the year’s activities.

Mixing business with pleasure has been found by the Intermediate Club to be very profitable when directed toward promoting the interests of the club.

The fall meeting featured a marshmallow roast. At another meeting Mr. Leslie Johnson of the Winona High School spoke on “Modem Trends in the Social Studies”. The Decernber meeting was devoted to the annual Christmas party. In January the members were guests of the Primary Club, to whom Mrs. G. E. Maxwell related a number of her experienees on her trip to Japan. Other activities included a winter sport meeting, and the annual picnic in the spring, as well as demonstration and project meetings.

The Intermediate Club

Open to all who are interested in the primary field, the Primary Club aims to promote, interest, and acquaint the members withtheir chosen work. Led by their adviser. Miss Gage, and their president, Mary Carlson, the girls carried out an interesting program for the year, which was both entertaining and educational.

The year was officially opened when the old members were hostesses at a party for the new members; in December there was a Christmas party; and in May the annual picnic was held.

No doubt the highlight of the year’s program was the January meeting at which Mrs. G. E. Maxwell spoke to the Primary Club and its guests—the Y.W.C.A., the Kindergarten, and the Intermediate Grade Clubs on her trip to Japan last summer.

The l^inderaarten Club

(An excerpt taken from the letter oí a freshman girl to a former schoolmate in her home town.)

“You ask whether we do anything but study. Certainly we do ! Our Kindergarten Club, or, that is, the upper-classmen members, entertained us Freshmen at a tea last fall in true Hallowe’en style.

Then at the December meeting, according to a tradition of twenty year’s standing, we had the annual Christmas “Sing”, where the girls in the soft glow of candlelight sang Christmas carols and listened to a reading given by one of their number.

Nor must I forget another Kindergarten tradition—the sale of Christmas carols, and listened to a reading ship Fund. The Mothers’ Club assisted us in this by their purchase of cards.

In January guests of the Primary Club enjoyed a talk on Japan by Mrs. Maxwell. Our club sponsored in February a successful College Patriotic Party.”

The Country Life Club

The college is fortunate in having this wide-awake group of students interested in rural education. The club provides an exceptionally fine opportunity for teachers concerned with rural work to become better acquainted with the field.

The more outstanding items on the year’s program included: a talk on “Applications”, by Mr. J. B. Jestus, Superintendent of Public Schools in Winona County, followed by an open discussion; a sleighride; a patriotic program; a panel discussion of the Parent-Teachers’ Association; a travel talk by Miss Taylor ; and a lecture, “Origin of Names”, by Mr. Boots.

Officers of this club are elected each quarter. Misses Bartsch, Christensen, and Taylor are faculty advisers.

The bud that has burst into bloom ! The big infant of organizations of our college that has developed rapidly! Yes, that is the Science Club formed in the spring of ’37. Today the club is probably the most active one in the school.

The principle behind this club is that it shall provide opportunities to broaden student interest, impart information, and stimulate study in the fields of science by group meetings, group or individual projects, and group meetings with a special speaker. Projects dealing with science were undertaken by groups or individuals to give added experience and a broader view of the field. Some of the projects undertaken were: photography, radio, insect collecting, and slide making.

The Science Club

First row; L. Schuh, V. Kurzweg, M. Ohlsen (secretary-treasurer), J. Laakso (president), I. Thomas (vice-president). Dr. Minne, Dr. Raymond. Second row: A. Hassinger, C. Dornfeld, V. Suomi, W. Wadewitz, R. Anderson, R. Wolf, C. Dettloff, L. Larson.

“For we are lovers of the beautifjI”—the Art Club has sought to interpret this philosophy in many ways.

Collectively the club has sponsored a number of worthwhile projects ineluding decorations for Homecoming, Christmas, and the “Prom.” Individually, the members have worked on a wide variety of projects related to special interests. Outstanding achievement is recognized by awarding guards to individual members.

Several trips to nearby art centers have served as inspiration forfurther achievement.

The presidency of the organization has been ably handled by Gertrude Pugh. She has been assisted by Samuel Blondell as vice-president, with Avis Meyer serving as secretary, and Glen Johnson carefully watching the exchecquer.

The ‘•W Club

The “W” Club is that club composed of those who have won a purpie “W” for their deeds on the gridiron, basketball floor, baseball diamond, tennis court, or cinder track.

Butthis isn’t a bunch of letter carriers! This is a club which has its great yearly events just as any other club. At the finish of the football season the annual banquet isheld. This year the guest speaker was Pete Deanovic, head coach at Columbia Heights High School and a former letter winner at W.S.T.C. The program which was conducted by Dr. Madison, who treated the injuries of our players this season and then treated the “W” Club to a masterful job as toastmaster, included talks by President Maxwell, Berger Ostmoe, Lyle Arns, Mervale Wolverton, Loren Jorris, Ralph Spencer, Coach Harry Jackson, and Athletic Director Glendon E. Galligan.

The two principles upon which this club was founded are: to create a greater interest in the various sports, and to promote the true ideals of an athlete and a sportsman.

First row: M. Wolverton, B. Ostmoe, R. Parker, E. Barski, L. Arns. Second row: G. Kraft, G. Smith, J. Quaday, R. Spencer, C. Fuller, E. Spencer. Third row: W. Kaczrowski, O. Johnson, L. Ottman, S. Farmer, H. Grudem, A. Andrejek.

The Atenas Club

The Mu Epsilon Nu, Men’s Club, has a membership of forty per cent of the men of W.S.T.C. This year in reorganizing, the club decided upon the idea of a maximum enrollment, with prospective new members being voted in by the old members. The old members were those who attended the first meeting. The freshmen and upper-classmen who desired to become members were voted in to fill the quota.

For the first time, rival football teams were greeted by a committee from the Men’s Club who showed themthe city of Winona, and promoted a friendlier feeling towards our institution. Starting the social season for the Spring quarter, the Men’s Club sponsored its annual allcollege party in the gymnasium on March 25.

First row: C. Fuller, M. Wolverton, M, Ohlsen, L. Arns, R. Parker, A. Hoblit, (president); E. Barski, (vice-president); O. Johnson, E. Siebold, R.,Schuh. Second row: D. Rich, J. Ollem, D. Johnson, W. Kaczrowski, A. Andrejek, R. Rowell, W. Carlson, N. Oison, L. Arns. Third row: G. Smith, H. Brokken, C. Libby, L. Ottman, H. Grudem, N. Fjetland, S. Johnson, H. Evans, J. Amdahl.

With Y.W.C.A. “Big Sisters” helping new girls, the traditional candle light service, and the annual “Friendship Day” program, the club schedule got off to a fine start.

At Christmas the girls made toys for the Margaret Simpson Home, and carolled at the County Home. Two new projects were instituted: the first, a vesper service; and the second, a social program featuring “stickers”—anonymous club friends who sent greetings on holidays.

This year the meetings included a taffy pull, a picnic, a Valentine party, a special speaker at Easter, a “Hobby Horse” exhibit, and a party at which “stickers” were revealed: Lectures were given by Miss Harmacek and Miss Marvin.

Our congratulations to the coaches: To Athletic Director Glen Galligan for his “Athletics for All” and for his efficient handling of the intercollegiate activities on a sportsmanship basis; to Harry Jackson for building a fighting eleven that never thought of quitting ; to Charles Fisk for backing the Purple to a Conference and city championship in basketball; to Stanley Pawelek for producing baseball, a major sport— we pay our humblest tribute.

Although not outstanding in the victory column, the football season did have its merits.

Prospects in September were “fair, or, maybe a little better,” according to Coach Harry H. Jackson, as he surveyed the possibilities of a winning eleven in the returning lettermen and freshman recruits at that time.

He saw co-captains Ams and Wolverton, the former a stellar backfield man, the latter a hard-driving tackle; he saw the implacable end—Thurley; the shifty Kaczrowski; wedges—Parker and Detloff. He remembered from last season the yardage-gaining sprints of Spencer and Jorris, the charging of Kraft, Smith, Barski, the end play of Ostmoe, Fuller, and Hoblit.

Over in the practice field he found several promising newcomers : E. Spencer, Hanson, Eifealdt, Roelofs, and Schmidt.

Coach Jackson saw quiteclearly as was shown with the advancement of the season. Winona was to be represented by a splendid fighting eleven, fast but lacking the weight necessary to crush the onslaught of opposing lines.

The complete record of the team is as follows:

These are the highlights: That tie with St. Marys entitled us to keep the city trophy another year; that victory over LaCrosse, first in the history of the college; and that Aberdeen game, making the beginning of a series of athletic relationships.

By graduation we lose Lyle Arns, Co-captain, who finished an admirable record as quarterback and halfback ; Parker, a reliable center ; Ostmoe, rangy end ; Hoblit, capable guard; Jorris, speedy and hard-runninghalfback.

It was the other co-captain, Mervale Wolverton, who gained recognition on the first conference team as a tackle. Arns and Spencer, gained places on the second team, while Jorris was given honorable mention.

Easketbali

We all look with pride upon the record of the basketball team which was made during the past season. Under the able direction of Coach Charles Fisk the team got off to a strong start in early games and kept piling strength and ability as the season progressed. Floor play, both offensive and defensive, accurate and fast passing, and accurate shooting combined to make all games a treat to watch.

The team came out on top of the heap in the conference race, being defeated only by Duluth on the Duluth court. In coming out on top the boys had to defeat teams of no mean ability but they proved equal to the task and were truly champions in every sense of the word.

Besides being conference champs, the team defeated a strong St. Mary’s team in the playoff for the city championship and took said championship in hand for a second year.

Having won their conference championship, the team was eligible to enter the national intercollegiate tournament at Kansas City which they did, and they made a commendable showing.

At various times throughout the season the team was crippledby the absence of one or more players, but the reserves showed the effect of fine coaching by very capably filling the shoes of the absentees and keeping the record clean.

Of the eighteen games played only four were lost, those to Duluth, St. Mary’s, LaCrosse, and Washburn College. The boys piled up a total of 663 points against their opponents 558, which is a fine piece of work in anyone’s language.

Track

With a small nucleus of lettermen and a relatively small group of newcomers, Coach Galligan had before him a real problem of forming a track team which would represent the college in the various meets.

Returning lettermen included: Farmer and Spencer in the weights, Grudem and Quaday in the distance runs, Detloff in the middle distances, Burleigh, Carlson, and Arns in the hurdles, Wolverton in the pole vault, Grimm in the javelin throw. Captain Jorris in the dashes, and Ottman in the high jump.

The new candidates have shown promise in practice and in competition, and provide good material for next year. The writer is of the opinion that track seems to be losing interest for many men of the college, but it is hopeful that interest will be revived and championship teams again formed. All we need is interest. We’re sure we have the material for as good a team as the next, and we’re expecting to see what can be done about bringing home some more state championships.

Since the track has been fixed and lengthened, it affords a better place for practice, and our candidates have taken advantage of the facilities.

Track is the sport that requires the most grueling and persistent practice for the least return in time in competitions and glory, but our men have been interested enough to stick to it, and consequently have brought home those championships.

Baseball bravely entered and finished its third year as a major sport, having an admirable past and a bright future.

Stanley Pawelek coached the nine with Bill Kaczrowski as captain.

A schedule of eleven games was arranged. The season opened April 30th with the Warriors meeting LaCrosse in a doubleheader here. May 5th we tangled with St. Marys at the Athletic Park, where all the home games were played. Up to Eau Claire May 9th, home again May 13th for a doubleheader with St. Cloud, and then back to Eau Claire for nine innings on May 16th. May 20th found the diamond scamperers in Mankato for a doubleheader, which batting session was followed by a return game with St. Marys on the 24th. Somewhere along the line Pawelek’s pupils swung their bats at the offerings of Lanesboro High School. Via this game, it is said, it is to have been proved, for once and for all, that College baseball is far superior to high school baseball.

At the time that this is written. Coach Pawelek was employing the following lineup : Catcher, Ralph Spencer or Lyle Ams ; first base, Darrel Johnson ; shortstop, Bijl Kaczrowski; second base, LaVerne Arns; third base, Edwin Spencer; left field, Garld Smith; center field, Eddy Barski; right field, Gerald Peterson; and Pitchers Lyle Arns, LaVerne Arns, Cedric Dettloff, Verner Suomi.

Looking forward to the sixth consecutive State Championship, a capable tennis squad, fairly breathing victory, prepared for the State meet on May 28 in St. Cloud. This year Charles Fisk took over the coaching duties.

Of last year’s outstanding team—Eddie Cohen, Walter Nosek, Irving Thomas, and Harry Johnson—only the last two remain, around which was built a championship team. Ray Anderson, Nathan Moore, Gerry McVey, Carl Jackson, Elton Schoenrock, Hugo Kochendoerfer, and Clifford Whitlock are this year’s addition.

In former years it has been the practice to cut the squad to six men following a few weeks of practice, but this season a new policy v^as formulated, which allows for a larger squad and for promotions. A member of this larger group may elevate his numerical standing by challenging and defeating the player directly above him. This is expected to bring about keener competition for positions.

In addition to the St. Cloud tournament several other meets have been scheduled and others contemplated as this is written. St. Cloud came here May 14, and on the twentieth the Purple met Mankato there. Meets with St. Marys and LaCrosse were also arranged.

The Ghoons, captained by Stuart Farmer, winning three of their six games by protest and subsequent forfeit, captured first place in the Intramural race and incidentally, the privilege of having their picture gracing one of the pages of this book.

It was an exciting season with protests and counter-protests, “champions” and Champions. At the end of the regular playing schedule, which was in round robin form, the Bears were tied with the Ghoons for the top rung of the ladder of teams.

In the championship game the Ghoons eked out a 20-19 victory, in an overtime; but notto be outdone so easily, the Bears protested on grounds of infractions of certain rules laid down by the Board.

The second championship game was started, but because of physical difficulties was not completed. The Intramural Board, later considering what plan to follow in determining the belated crowning of a champion recalled the advantage which the Ghoons enjoyed at the close of play in the championship game, along scoring lines, awarded the championship to the Ghoons.

Teams, with their captains, finished in the following order: Ghoons, Farmer; Bears, Bremer; Huskies, Barski; Wolverines, Wolverton; Dukes, Evans; Vikings, Hein; Cougars, Kraft; Ghosts, Ohlsen.

Intramural Vcileyball

Volleyball, as one of the favorite sports of the college men, is always a welcome diversion when spring begins. It affords recreation for those who do not have any special interest or aptitude for other college sports. It is always turned to by a large number of men.

At the opening of the spring quarter those interested were divided, as equally as possible by the members of the intramural board, and a series of games was played to determine which team was to be considered the tops.

At the close of the season the team standings were as follows :

On the whole, the games were run off a little more peacefully this year than last. No rumors of very grave difficulties arose over disputed games.

Students at WinonaState Teachers College can feel proud, of the fine program for intramural athletics afforded by the cooperation of the athletic board, intramural board, and all supervisors of athletics, and volleyball is one sport that always remains in favor among students, and will always maintain its place on the program of intramural athletics.

■Physical Educaticn Club

The Physical Education Club is composed of majors and minors in the field of physical education. The club sponsors a two-fold service, professional and social. As a professional club it sponsors such activities as lectures, discussions, and panels pertaining to health and physical education.

The annual, hilarious All Girls Frolic, a social get-to-gether, is arranged by this club with the help of the Women’s Athletic Board. In addition, the members enjoy such occasions as teas, picnics, corecreational game meetings, hikes, splash parties, and pot-luck suppers.

The officers of the club are: Mary Fehring, president; Louise Whitman, vice-president; Audrey Thurow, secretary-treasurer; Misses Andrews and Talbot, faculty advisers.

First row: Miss Andrews, Miss Talbot, C. Kelm, D. Ruhnau, M. Fehring, A. Thurow, K. Wallace, G. Cressey, J. Patterson. Second row: M. Fischer, I. Wetmore, E. Beaudin, M. Kelly, F. Walsh, M. Richman, E. Meyer, L. Simons, M. Meyer, V. Kurzweg.

It can be safely said that this past year, as never before, the influence of the Intramural Board has been felt in the promotion of invigorating and pleasant athletic activity among the men of the college for as large a number as possible.

True to its intent it worked in perfect accord with the idea of interscholastic competition; and true to its purpose it drew into participation more students by presenting a varied program. Under its sponsorship basketball, volleyball, and badminton tournaments were held.

Not only does the Intramural Board strive for equality, but it also recognizes the varsity teams, yet grants them no favors. It wishes championship teams, but it demands its use of the gymnasium. It is in favor of drafting intramural participants into varsity competition, but it is negatively inclined toward the introduction of varsity players into its activities. In short, the Intramural Board believes an athletic program exists for the many, even though the intercollegiate program must exist for those of superior skill —and it makes its wishes work.

Men*$ Intramural IBcard

The athletic program for girls at Winona State Teachers College is supervised by the Women’s Athletic Board. The program is open to all girls interested in athletics as well as all physical education majors and minors.

The program for this year has included all types of sport activities. The members of the board are as follows: freshmen, Frances Walsh and Ethel Meyer; sophomores, Margaret Meyer and Carol Kelm; juniors, Viola Kurzweg, Louise Whitman, and Lois Simon ; seniors, Paula Meyer and Erma Beaudin.

Social activities initiate and climax each season of play. The new students were welcomed to the sport world in college by an informal tea. A marshmallow roast in the early fall was enjoyed by many of the girls.

Informal teas held at the close of the soccer and basketball season were new ventures in social activity which proved to be very successful.

Women’s Sports

FALL SPORTS

Soccer is the most important and most enjoyed of the fall sports. Carol Kelm and Mary Fehring acted as captains of the two teams of the college. Games were played until the nipping breezes became so cold that the girls were driven indoors. The game is very conducive to the problem of making friends in the early part of the school year. Whereas the girls may be rivals on the soccer field, they become lasting friends off the field.

In addition to soccer, a tennis tournament was sponsored in the early fall. Mary June Fisher was the winner

WINTER SPORTS

Reigning supreme during the winter season is basketball. A tournament was held following a series of practice games. The players developed excellent teams displaying real skill in handling theball as well as outstanding team work. The team captained by Carol Kelm was able to capture the laurels after some very lively tournament games.

The dancing program is carried on during this season also. Class work consists of instruction in clog, tap, and folk dancing. In each of these classes, the girls enjoyed learning a variety of fundamentals which will enable them to enjoy this form of recreation to a fuller extent. Original clog dances, in costume, were presented by the members of the clog class.

SPRING SPORTS

In the spring of the year a variety of groups and individual sports are sponsored for the girls who have come out of their winter hibernation. Baseball and volleyball present the major claim as the most popular spring sports. The motto of the W. A. A., “Play up, and the play the game”, is experienced by these participants every day. This year several teams competed for championship honors in both these sports.

For those who are interested in games of a more individualitic nature such as tennis and golf, special classes are held. Opportunity is also provided for advanced players to improve their ability. Players can always be seen on their way to the tennis courts or trudging to Westfield Golf course to enjoy their leisure hours in happy and healthful play.

One SUNDE the students of W. S. T. C. were ABEL to go to one of the old MILLS in this part of the country. They walked but in spite of the fact that there were no WELLS to drink from and they got SANDEN their shoes, they MERDAHL records for fast walking. When they arrived, they rang the BELL. Just then a group of BUGGS swooped down upon them.

“SHAW EIFELDT one PARKER carcus on me and PIERCE my skin! ARNDT you going to help me SCHUH ’em away before MOORE come MOSING along K O S they HOYT?” MOENed poor Eddie SIEBOLD.

“Hah, hah, that’s RICH I bet it was a R O C H E,” laughed I. THOMAS.

“EVANS these bugs are small. Why back home we HAAS GRUDEN big and BURLEIGH,” bragged Mr. KRAFT.

Again the attention was turned to the mill.

“The MILLER is gone and the door is LAAKSO we can’t get in,” said Connie ZABEL.

“HASSINGER got any brains? I got a PATTEN on opening locks. Do you want me to SPRINGER ?” queried one of the JOHNSON boys.

“TURNER over and see if she’s BROKKEN. If not. I’ll bust it with this bing FLINT I found,” yelled L. LARSON.

So BOOTH boys with GRIMM determination got BUSSE and tried to smash the lock.

Well, DAVIS on the BRINK of suecess when a FARMER and a BAKER came riding along in a buggy.

“FOSTER matter here?” inquired the farmer.

“MEYER a DEVINE man but you WOODn’t SUOMI for doing this,” pleaded Sis McCARTHY.

Then the baker hit the SEELING, “Come, come, Mr. ANDERSON (the farmer) you’re an OTTMAN, a sheep in wolf’s clothing. You were to take me to Mr. ALLAN’S home so that I could deliver this GRAHAM bread, so start this HAACK moving.”

“OSGOOD, Mr. SCHOENING (the baker), of course AMDAHL right and besides I didn’t like DETTLOFF of yours. EIKREM this buggy FULLER every time I take you around. I think it’s WETMORE money!” exclaimed the farmer as they started off down the PIKE.

“Ya poor ZAPPE, get to WORKMAN,” ordered Mr. LIBBY of Mr. LEE, “so that we can get out of here SCOTT free.”

YENNIE (Libby) started STEWARD an open field, “Hot dog, let’s plqy ball. I CANFIELD good,” he shouted.

“But the ball will ROELOFS the cliff,” protested N. OLSON.

Just then it began to rain so everyone had to go home and thus our story ends. (It’s a good thing it began to rain because I’m running out of ideas).

Dear Ma,

Winona, Minnesota

I love the little bees. The other day I played tag with one. I tagged him and ran; and he came after me and kissed me. At least, I think it was a kiss, though maybe his tooth slipped and he accidently bit me. Darling littie bee! He loved me! I haven’t sat on the place yet, because of the delicate sentiment attached to the gift. My room-mate, who is crabbed and who has no love for nature, says it was mad and bit me. He has no soul. I understand animals so much better.

The last day of the house party I asked the One and Only to take a walk around a few blocks with me. And I told her not to be frightened if there was a big commotion and racket when we passed the Dorms, ’cause every time a pretty girl walked by, all the West Lodge fellows ran to the windows and raised an awful riot. Well, we walked around for about half an hour, and everybody must have been asleep or dead or something, because there wasn’t any noise and nobody looked out or anything. And something must be the matter ’cause Jean was awful cold to me that night, and she hasn’t written me since she went home. Gosh, ma, I don’t know what to do.

Your son, Archy.

Miss Crossman was explaining the parts of a Greek column and mentioned necking—and added, “applied only to architecture.”

Mr. Owens was talking about the friendly little rats, both bright and stupid, that he had experimented with (he couldn’t mean his psychology class).

Rose Wolfe said she would be a big armful for any man, and Gaylord Bakke asked her if she were advertising.

Louise Whitman presented Dr. Murphy with a huge pasteboard box which looked like a big package of gum. Dr. Murphy opened it and out dropped one lonely stick of gum. She commented that she hoped it hadn’t been chewed. (Louise, you can’t be going in for “gum polishing,” can you?)

Dear Ma,

I’m going to let the girls alone after this. After I wrote the last letter to you I got another girl. I was afraid to ask her to go anyplace with me at first, so I just spoke to her when I saw her around the campus. Finally I got enough courage to take her for a stroll in the park. She said her hands were cold so I held them for her. Pretty soon she said she was cold all over. I gave her my overcoat. Now she won’t speak to me.

There’s another boy rooming at the same house I do. He has a room at the other end of the hall. His name is Bill. There is another boy named Charles that comes to see Bill allthe time. I didn^t know why they spent so much time in Bill’s room together for a long time, but I know now. The other night they left the door open, and I could hear them talking. I think they’re going to be married, because Bill always said he’d raise one and Charles always made it two.

There was a soprano solo singer in chapel yesterday. She made a lot of funny motions and it was fun to watch her. I had that job in the saw mill last summer, so her singing didn’t bother me at all.

I would like to have Pa write to me again soon. Tell him to make it about twenty dollars this time.

Your son, Archy.

He was beset with bill and dun. And he had very little MON.

A bright thought struck him, and he said,

“The rich Miss Goldrocks I will WED.

But when he paid his court to her. She lisped, but firmly said, “No THUR,”

“Alas!” said he, “then I must die!” His soul went where they say souls FRI.

They found his gloves and coat and hat; The coroner upon them SAT.

The Librarie

When our librarie with its books bounded

And the statue staunding alie rounde Is fulle of worthy studentes studyinge

Then is the time when soothly I beginne

To commente on the sondry personages.

Inhabitinge one quiet gloomy comer

Sits a girle concentrating on a booke. Nevere frome the pages lifts she an eyen

But reades and leames till she is steeped

In knowledge, and she is cleped Laura. At anothere table is a girle

Brighte and prette and cleped Maria.

Hir hair it is the coloure of the sun, Her eyen have the coloure of the sea, Hir mouth is painted brighte scarlet rede

And hir teethe shinne like white pearles.

Hir dainte handes are vere shapely

And jewelrye sparkles onne hir fingers.

Hir figure is slimme and willowye.

A goodly dame, the heighte of fashione

Neare hir lolles a worshipinge Freshmanne

Gazinge at hir with adorations.

His hair is sleeked with sure precisione.

His tie is straights and tied inne fashione.

His coat is brushed and newly pressed, (Someone has had the iron goings.)

His shoes are shinned and recently half-soled.

His bookes lie open, but alie inne vaine—

His attentions is certainly wandering againne.

Presiding with a sterne watchful eyen

Over them is a statelie librarianne. Hir witheringe eyen and hir scolding voice

Doe fright the studentes into silentness.

A good dispenser of the books is she, And fines she levies arbitrarilie.

Manie the scholars who doth here pursue Elusive Knowledge with a purpose true;

For manie plan to teach the rising yonge.

And thus their humble daily bread to winne.

So ends my treatise, as I knows you Friends reader, truelie wish it to do. —Glenn Johnson.

Bear Ma,

Well the first week of college is over and all I hear is bells ! It seems I’ve no sooner gone to sleep than the rising bells ring and it’s 6:30—time to get up. The lights come on and I have to pull the sheet over my head so I can lie and think of all I’ve got to do. Before I know it, it’s time for breakfast that’s when the 7:00 o’clock bell rings. Winding my watch, polishing my specs, and hoping we have jam, I run to the dining room.

8:00 o’clock, a bell rings for class and I sit and sit and we hear all about the nervous system and stuff like that from a polite smiling prof called Mr. Owens. Then a bell rings and I jump up but I have to sit still five minutes more and then another bell rings and I have to get to speech class before another bell rings. There Dr. Lynch (I don’t know why they call her a doctor unless she heals our speech, ha! ha!) gives us whole pile of phonetics to translate. Then some more bells ring and some chimes ring and we’re in chapel. That’s like church except now and then something funny happens.

Then I have another class—history from Mr. Jederman who was in the war and then I go up and study in the library until a bell rings and I go home and the bells ring for lunch.

In the afternoon a bell rings for Phy Ed and please send me $3.00 for a gym suit for that and then I go to grammar class and honest, ma, even participles aren’t bad when Mr. Boots teaches ’em.

When the dinner bell rings, we go down to dinner and sometimes a little bell rings at the corner table and everyone stops eating and Miss Richards announces something and then we eat some more.

When a girl has a caller, they punch her bell so she yells thank you and some of the girls get calls every night. I only had one date so far with a guy on the football team but Ma considering it’s the first week it’s not bad but don’t tell Bill cuz he’d be jealous. I was ready in my grey suit at 7:00 o’clock and waiting and waiting and then my bell rang and I jumped and tried to be non-chalant when I said thank you but gosh I was excited. I didn’t get home until 10:35—we saw Robert Taylor—and I had to push the door-bell so the bell girl would let me in and gosh I was scared I’d get bawled out but nothing happened. The lights were out and I slept until the 6:30 bells rang again.

Your loving daughter, Ann.

Sonnet

(The publishers of this sonnet wish to announce that all dormitories, diners, and articles of foodmentioned are fictitious ; any resemblance to any existing dormitories, diners, or food is, not intended and should not be inferred.)

Much have I eaten in the realms of food, And many goodly dishes I’ve devoured;

Full many dormitories have I toured That feed the body for its earthly good.

Oft of one dining room had I been told

Where courtesy was hunger’s second law, Where students all restrained the hungry paw

From reaching out for tid-bits manifold.

Yet never had I seen this wondrous place ;

And glad I was to visit it one day

Expecting to see daintiness and grace

As “Please” and “Thank you” they did nicely say ; But ah, I heard above the general din This mournful wail, “Gosh, it’s beans again !”

The Vanity of Effort

I wrote a theme onceon a time

In wondrous scowling mood. And thought perhaps this time the Prof

Would say ’twas really good.

It was so long, so very long— For hoursdid I try ; Although in everyone’s regard

A lazy girl am I.

So up to the class I went next day

With head held high and proud; Methought my theme the Prof would sway

To admiration loud.

The teacher read, and as his eye

Perused my efforts then. It scorned with hope-destroying sweep

The product of my pen.

His pencil red did ravage quite (With “p”, “sp”, “comma fault”)

The rhapsody in blue and white

That painfully I’d wrought.

The “A” I’d hoped became a “D” ; The vision faded then The saddest words that one could write

Are these : “It might have been.”

Ambitions

Loud applause, soft lights, and then majestic chords played by Eileen Nelson, the world’s most famous pipe organist.

At little boy was asked to write an essay on Masonry, and here is what he wrote : “King Solomon was a man who lived so many years in the country that he was the whole push. He was an awfully wise man, and one day two women came to him, each holding the leg of a baby and nearly pulling it in two and each claiming it. And King Solomon wasn’t feeling right good and he said, ‘Why couldn’t the brat have been twins and stopped this bother?’ And then he called for his machete and was going to Weyerize the poor innocent little baby and give each woman a piece of it, when the real mother of the baby said, ‘Stop, Solomon; stay thy hand. Let the old hag have it. If I can’t have the whole baby I won’t have any.’ Then Solomon told her to take the baby and go home and wash its face, for he knew it was hers. He told the other woman to go chase herself. King Solomon built Solomon’s Ternpie and was the father of Masons. He had seven hundred wives and three hundred lady friends, and that’s why there are so many masons in the world. My papa says King Solomon was a warm member, and I think he was hot stuff myself. That is all I know about King Solomon.”

I fell for her in the book room, ’Twas a stormy night outside;

Oh, yes, of course I took her home

That evening from the Libe.

She was blue-eyed, blond, and rosy;

Rosie, I think, was her name.

She had red lips ’n everything—

That camouflage ajane.

But the best thing of all about her.

Better than all her good looks

She was plump, and warm, and filled my arms—

Yes, filled my arms—with books.

The hand of God was in the sky. Across the bronze surface of Lake Winona stretched a flaming path of crimson. The sun hung like a great disc of fired copper in the purple haze of Garvin Heights. A vast quiet prevailed—^the hush and peace of majesty.

She lay in the prow of the canoe, dreamily looking at the beautiful scene. Her voice sweet and low, broke the spell.

“It’s cute,” she said, “ain’t it?”

I knocked the ashes out of my pipe and slowly drowned her.

“Pardon me, but are you girls going east?” asked the handsome young man as he leaned over the wheel of his new sport roadster in front of the dorms.

“Oh, yes,” gurgled one of the coeds as she extended a dainty foot toward the running board of the car.

“Thank you. I never can keep my directions straight in Winona.”

And the car glided away.

Ah, Sundays were the days when we feasted. And Saturdays the days when we fasted.

Oh, well, it was swell while it lasted ; We did have fun, and no harm done.

And thanks for the memories

I might as well confess I miss it all.

Finals, finals, everywhere

With drops and drops of ink; But never the Prof, who’ll leave thé room

And allow a man to think.

A green little freshman in a green little way

Mixed some chemicals up for fun one day.

The green little grasses now tenderly wave

O’er the green little freshman’s green little grave.

The devil sends the wicked wind That blows the skirts knee-high. But Heaven is just, and sends the dust

To fill the bad man’s eye.

A youth had just driven home from college at the close of the term.

“Did you pass everything?” asked his mother anxiously.

“Everything but two motorcycles. They must have had airplane motors in them.”

One day three men were dining together. One was English, one was French, and one was American. After the meal was over, the Englishman made this toast:

‘England’—the Sun, whose bright beams enlighten and fructify the remotest corners of the earth.”

The Frenchman, filled with national pride, but too polite to dispute the previous toast, drank the following:

‘France’—the Moon, whose mild, steady, and cheering rays are the delight of all nations, consoling them in darkness and making their dreariness beautiful.”

The American, not to be outdone, rose and said:

‘George Washington’—the Joshua who commanded the Sun and the Moon to stand still, and they obeyed him.”

“Is that man rich ?”

“Is he ! He’s so rich he doesn’t know his son’s in college.”

Startle, startle, little twink. The night is beautiful— I think!

Plumber: Oh, don’t worry. I’ve got nails in my shoes, so I won’t slip.

From the hall where the salesmen’s convention was being held came roar after roar of applause.

“What’s all the noise about?” asked a policeman of a man who had just stepped out.

“They’ve been making speeches,” replied the later, “and somebody just introduced the man who sold Mussolini a book on how to acquire selfconfidence.”

Mr. French (explaining a difficult problem) : Now watch the board carefully, and I’ll go through it again.

Teacher: John, where did you get the information that a furlough is a donkey?

John: In my geography book.

Teacher: Please show me the place. John opened the book to the picture of a soldier sitting on a donkey. The caption under the picture read : “Off on a furlough.”

Botany teacher: When do leaves begin to turn?

Student (reminiscently) : The night before examination.

“The weaker sex” is that part of humanity that goes out in sub-zero weather wearing a low neck dress, silk gloves, rolled silk stockings, and dancing pumps to get a wool muffler, fur-lined gloves, and woolen underwear for her husband so that he can go safely down to his office.

“Now in case anything goes wrong with this experiment,” said the professor of chemistry, “we and the laboratory with us will all be blown sky-high. Now, come a little closer, boys, in order that you may follow

“The

Revision

My life was a book

With a title bold for every chapter. The first few pages were already full—

Smudged and besmeared, blotted and scribbled,

With now and then

A bit of lyric beauty shining through. And here and there.

A bright, bright spot of childhood happiness.

I’d planned

In hours of lofty dreaming

The titles for the chapters still remaining ; “Fame,” “Success,” “Independence”

Words such as these

Would be the theme for all the writing there.

But then you came

And shattered all that lofty dream; You took my dream pen from my trembling hand

And with one dashing stroke

Wrote “Love” upon the pages that remained.

And all the other titles there grew dim.

—^Mavis Hiltunen

Through Endless Flight

Sea gulls flying under leaden skies.

Wheeling and dipping in the brisk fall wind.

Forming a grey-blue cloud—a wavering canopy.

So like my thoughts they wing. No leader honking out the guiding way.

Each flies alone, though with a thousand more.

Only a distant goal towards which they bend.

Only an instinct, guiding, driving on.

Only the lure of some dim beacon in the night.

So must the mind seek through the endless spheres

The source and substance of eternity

Until it rests on God.

—Laura Agnes Devine

Dusk of Day

At five o’clock the cows come down

If they’ve a mind, from Chimney Rock

Where burrs grow thick and asters blow

In seasoned stock.

Ode to Work

It is my better and my will angel ; It charms to cheerfulness and drives to finest points of ire ; It gives the utmost satisfaction and breeds the deepest despiration;

It is the sweetest of xnepenthe and my bitterest cup of woe;

It is the endless variety and utter stagnation ;

It is my crown of thorns and my cross of gold;

It bids me smile and draws upon my tears ;

It kisses and I am betrayed.

—Margaret Meyer

And if we go to fetch them down. We see the twinkling of a town Across a lake

Where rise the turrets of MacDuff

Against a grim Wisconsin bluff.

The stubborn cow comes on when driven

Though call you may till day of doom. And like the moon across her shoulder

Her eyes grow big—she thinks a boulder

Slight’ a-jog

Is her worst enemy, the dog.

But once within the barnyard gate

Hervain hostilities abate. And domesticities prevail; She crunches apples in a pail.
