DEDICATION
O COLLEGE HALL, the new and spacious home of our Alma Mater round which tradition and sentiment cling, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-five, dedicate our “Wenonah.” May this fine building ever be a monument in honor of the high service of those who have gone before, and an inspiration for those who are to come.
Lo, in Mississippi’s waters, Bluethe eternal sky; In our hearts, O Alma Mater, Clear thy spirit high!
Chorus
Lift the chorus Send it ringing Far o’er hill and vale!
Hail to thee, O Alma Mater! Hail, Winona, hail!
Noble hills watch o’er the valley Where thy dwelling lies; Steadfast hearts, O Alma Mater, Guard thy destinies.
Ever shall tomorrow better What today hath won; Lead thy children, Alma Mater, On, forever on!
Fairest College in the State''
Noble hills watch d er the valley'Mantled in folds of dark woodbine'"
the past of thee hath spoken
So thefuture looks to thee'’’
Where music and moonlight andfeeling are one'"

Bourne Bambenek Goltz Cleary John Lynch President Elizabeth Millam Vice President Anna Mayan Secretary-TreasurerThe first year in College Hall marks the beginning of a third year course in the Winona State Teachers College. This course will undoubtedly be a required one in the near future. A fourth year of work will be added when interest in this advanced work warrants it.
The students forming the first class in this course have shown foresight and real interest in the teaching profession by more thoroughly preparing themselves before such preparation is required. We hope a larger class will be formed next year.
The school has benefited by the work contributed by members of the class. John Lynch and Edward Chinske, through theirskill in athletics, have helped to make the football team Conference Champions, and were important members of the basketball team. Muriel Meyer has aidedthe Music Department by giving students an opportunity to study piano. In October she gave a piano recital at chapel. Some articles, made and used by the natives of Africa, were loaned to the school for an exhibit, by Merle Todd, another member, who gave a short talk on them at chapel. As a co-operative project carried out by the History of Education class, an exhibit representing Greek and Medieval Education was displayed last fall. During Education Week this same class, under the leadership of Grace Muir, presented a paper. The Teacher as a Nation Builder, at chapel.

‘Mike” is out for all things athletic, but he combines with this a fine mind, which he uses at all times. We fear he doesn’t realize how many hearts beat a little faster when he appears. Perhaps it is a good thing, it might make him nervous and that would never do.

Third Row—Burns, Walker, Villaumie, Manson, Davis, Dezell, Polly, EmmertThe past year has been both happy and prosperous for The Wenonah Players. The opening of the Fall Quarter found but seven of the old players in school. These players were: Esther Villaumie, Frances Emmert, John Lynch, Wallace Morgan, Bryant Spencer, Edward Ruhnke, and Florence Butler. The first incident of interest, and we are proud of it, too, was a regular club meeting held early in September on the stage in the new College Auditorium. Although we sat on piles of lumber and our voices echoed sadly in the bear concrete room, yet we feltthat we were making history. To our knowledge this was the first meeting of any club to be held in the new building.
As always there was lively competition for election to membership in The Wenonah Players and about fifty students tried-out. October found us with the following new members: Elizabeth Burns, Mary Ellen Policy, Helen Manson, Murilla Walker, Evelyn Nelson, Julius Curtis, Harold McCormick, Esther Wetzel, Florence Peters, Valois DeZell, Joseph Martin, and Joseph Streiff.The programs during the fall were given over to reviews of current plays and the discussion of stage mechanics.
The second high-water mark of the year was the Christmas Party given in conjunction with the Mendelssohn Club. This party contributed greatly to the social life of the year chiefiy because it elicited the interest of the entire school students and faculty. A drive was put on to arouse in the school true Christmas spirit, a spirit of love and good-fellowship. You who read this account, we hope, still carry in your hearts something of the results of that drive. Six hundred guests attended the party. The program carried three big features: the singing of Christmas carols by the Mendelssohn Club, the presentation by both clubs of a lovely Christmas play, “The Christmas Spirit,” and a real Christmas tree with a gift for every one present. The spirit of Christmas was truly in our midst.
The third important event of the year was the presentation on February twenty-sixth of a three act comedy “Only 38” by A. E. Thomas. From the proceeds of this play permanent stage equipment valued at about one hundred dollars was purchased and presented to the College.
The work of the club during the Spring Quarter has been devoted to regular club meetings with an occasional social gathering to keep things moving. Altogether the year has been a memorable one for The Wenonah Players.

President Vice President Secretary .TreasurerONCE there lived upon earth some poor mortals who were moreor less violently afflicted with the malady, “A. T.” (The Artistic Temperament). Their homes were also afflicted, but not in the same manner as the aforesaid mortals. What to do?
Somehow the fall of 1923 saw a goodly number of the A. T. (im-) patients at the W.S.T.C. Great was the joy amongst them when so considerable a company of kindred spirits was discovered! The “tie” was, all that remained to be done was the “binding.” The Great Powers were sought and sagely They pondered: “There is Energy. Energy, when properly harnessed will do much work.Ah another potent force in the Institution!”
Thus it was that the little machine of but fifteen parts was set a-spinning along—with first the Averill lady at the levers, and always Mrs. Cassidy behind it. And it happened that the little machine, organized because of a malady turned out many strange things: sketches and scenery, decorations and artistic advice, and a flying trip to Bagdad for all the college.
That is the “why” of how it was and is and those who love it say, “May it ever be, for always and always.”

The Y.W.C.A. cabinet is a group of girls who lead the Y.W. work in this school. Their aim is to give service, to promote fellowship, and to give help in upholding the standards of the school.
Meeting the new students the first days of school, helping them to find their way about and to get acquainted, fostering the Big Sister movement, bringing the idea of friendship to the whole school on Friendship Day, and further carrying out that ideaof service and good fellowship at Christmas time by taking a bit of the Yuletide spirit to those in the hospital and at the Poor Farm these are some of the things that the Y.W.C.A. does during the year.

The club, which has a larger membership than in previous years, has made some definite steps forward. The most important among these is the introduction of the merit system into the club.
The club initiates new members from time to time. The largest initiation occurs soon after the opening of the fall term.
This year the club has provided a number of programs, debates, and social evenings for its members. The All Men’s Banquet held at Shepard Hall was the most important of these. Erom time to time prominent business men of the town are invited to speak to the club. In this way its members are able to obtain a working knowledge of various professions apart from that of teaching.
The Men’s Club takes an active part in all school affairs. It often unites with other organizations of the school in presenting programs, and assisting in social activities.
As a closing event, the club annually holds an outdoor picnic.
“Owe hundred men in the College by September 1925” is the slogan of the club.

The newest organization in the college is the Range Club, composed of twenty-five peppy members whose homes are on the Iron Ranges of northeastern Minnesota. The Club aims to promote friendship and good fellowship among its members, to uphold the scholastic standards of the college, and to secure new students from the Ranges.
Although the Club is but a recent organization it has sponsored many activities throughout the year. Skating and sleighing parties, picnics and suppers across the Lake have been frequent events. The largest social gathering of the year was the dinner party given at the Social Tea Rooms, with Mr. and Mrs. Reed, the advisers.
The club has been delighted to accept Mr. Reed’s invitation to hold a reunion this summer at the Reed cottage on beautiful Burntside Lake.

Early in the school year the St. Rose of Lima Guild entertained the club members. An automobileride about Winona acquainted them with places of interest and beauty. After the ride the guests were taken to the K. C. Club House where refreshments were served.
Another social event which was greatly enjoyed was a Valentine Carnival given by the club.
The club has tried to be of service to the college. At Christmas time it took charge of the sale of Red Cross seals at the dormitories. It has also taken pleasure in contributing twenty-five dollars toward the equipment of the social room at College Hall.

The purpose of this club is to interest its members along such educational lines as may be of value to them in their leadership of rural communities.
This year’s work was given a good start by a program of readings and musical numbers, furnished by talent outside theclub. The winter term’s work was outstanding for its series of meetings with Miss Gildemeister on questioning. One-third of the group will each be responsible for a meeting this spring. A picnic, at which the group furnishing the best program is to be “treated,” will close the year’s work.
The annual May picnic, formerly given by theclub to the associated schools, will not take place as these schools are co-operating in the County Unit Play Day.

The program of the Kindergarten Club includes both work and play. In their “play” the girls had a “get-together” party the first of the year, a costume party given by the Seniors, A Festival of Nations for the whole school, and a picnic breakfast, the Juniors’ farewell to the Seniors. Miss Sutherland and Miss Schwable added to these good times by entertaining at their home.
In their “work” the club made Christmas stockings for the Kindergarten children, and provided care for those whose mothers attended the Mothers’ Meetings. Because of its interest in all childhood the club last year sent a gift to needy children in Erance, and this year sent thirty dollars to those in the Near East.
The Kindergarten Scholarship Eund, founded in 1919, totals almost six hundred dollars. The club adds to this fund each year by selling Christmas cards.
Inspiration is constantly furnished by the interest of graduate members whose letters so frequently say, “How can we help?”

The Primary Club was organized in 1923 to serve the needs of prospective primary teachers. It was formed with a two-fold purpose: to promote the educational interests of the lower grades in particular, and to foster friendship.
In September Miss Pritchard gave an interesting talk on her trip abroad. On Hallowe’en evening the members gathered for a hard-time party. In December Mrs. Simmers gave a talk on the Parent-Teacher Association.
A Mother Goose costume party was given in February. At this party Miss Richards gave an account of the interesting places which she visited when abroad. A lecture by Miss Speckman on Children’s Art was given at the March meeting. In April the club entertained the entire college at a spring party. The year closed with a picnic breakfast on the bluffs.

The Intermediate Grade Club, one of the youngest organizations of the college, was organized for the purpose of promoting better teaching in the intermediate grades.
During the spring term of last year and the fall term of this year, the emphasis was placed upon dramatizations. Short plays, taken from books suitable for intermediate children, were presented by groups of club members at each meeting. At the close of the programs these plays were criticized and evaluated. A set of standards formulated by the third and fourth grade children was used as a basis for evaluation.
At the meetings of the winter term Miss Gildemeister gave the club a series of very instructive talks on “The Art of Questioning.”
The club feels justified in predicting a future of great growth and activity because of the splendid co-operation among its members.

The Junior High School Club, consisting of about eighty students who are specializing in junior high school work, is one of the active organizations of this school. The aims of the club are to further the Junior High School Movement at the Winona State Teachers College and throughout the state, to enable its members to gain a clearer insight into the problems of the junior high school teacher, and to assist in standardizing junior high school curricula and teacher training. In view of the fact that the number of junior high schools is rapidly increasing in Minnesota, the club hopes to see a special Junior High School Course provided in this college.
Meetings of theclub are held twice a month. Members of the faculty and others interested in education have helped to make these meetings interesting and beneficial.
The social side of school life is also emphasized by theclub. The Homecoming Party for the students, faculty, and alumni was given by the club in the College Hall gymnasium on November 15. The Homecoming Party is to be an annual club activity. The loyal co-operation of the membersand of the adviser. Miss Brunner, helped to make the first party put on by the club a success. Such co-operation has created a spirit of good will and has made the club successful in accomplishing its purpose.

Its purposes are to promote physical and mental efficiency and to encourage high standards of social behavior. Each member does her best to make theclub one of the foremost organizations of the college.
The activities of theclub consist in holding regular meetings, in promoting all physical activities and in giving parties and picnics.
The club spends a week-end each fall and spring at the Y.W.C.A. camp at Prairie Island. Last fall, the girls, chaperoned by Misses Lewis, Artz, and Conklin, enjoyed rowing, hiking and other outdoor sports at this camp. Another pleasure of this trip was a visit to the Boy Scouts’ camp where the girls were guests of Mr. Linney.
The “Physical Education Specials” returned from the trip with a firmer determination to stand straight, to walk straight, and to be straight.

Fifty points earned in activities outside the required physical education work are required for membership. These points may be earned in the following sports: hockey, riding, hiking, basketball, volleyball, dancing (interpretative and folk), baseball, tennis, swimming, skating, skiing, and tobogganing. Purple “W’s” are awarded for earning one hundred points, and gold “W” pins for earning two hundred points.
Although the honors are won through individual work, the group often acts together in social affairs. Moonlight hikes over lovely Birch Trail, picnic suppers, sleighride parties, and various other “get-togethers” keep the organization a united and a happy one.

^^You and I
Electing for the first time in several years to present a modern play for the annual commencement production, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and twenty-five selected “You and I,” a comedy, by Philip Barry. Mr. Barry is a young playwright who gained distinction by winning the Harvard prize for long plays with his “You and I” in nineteen hundred and twenty-two. His second play “The Youngest” has been presented on Broadway during the past season.
“You and I” is a brilliant play whose action centers around people whom we might see about us every day. This is why we like it. In the action and the dialog the author suggests “the whimsy of Barrie, the brilliancy of Shaw, and the aptness of Wilde.” The theme of the play is suggested in the line, “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation”—carrying the thought that life demands, for the good of others, many sacrifices of our inner ambitions and aspirations. The play is thoroughly modern in every respect and was a happy choice.
From the fifty seniors who tried-out for the play, the following cast was selected:

Each year it tries to broaden the musical life of the school and to create a greater appreciation of better music.
The club appears on various occasions each year. This year, under the direction of Mr. Grimm, the club made its first appearance when College Hall was opened to the public. It joined with the Wenonah Players in entertaining the school at a Christmas party.
The club took part in the Lincoln Program given by the school on February 12. That evening the club sang a group of songs at the Shriners’ Ball. Its next appearance was at the March meeting of the Winona Music Club.

COACH RAY E. HABERMANN, SR.Football became a recognized sport in the college in 1895. That the beginning of the game was a humble one is evidenced in the fact that in some of the earlier games the coach, Professor Roberts, also officiated as referee. The Daily Republican for October 26, 1895 relateshow the football men requested of President Shepard that they might curtail somewhat their study hours in order to have opportunity for practice. A later issue states “about 150 people saw the Normals defeat Gale College at Athletic Park.”
However, in spite of these handicaps, which to-day seem rather amusing, the football team of 1896 was recognized as second only to the University team. The Teachers, having scored decisive victories over Winona High School, La Crosse High School, (twice), Carleton College, and the University Medics, earned the right to the title of state champions.
The advent of the World War brought football to its lowest ebb in the College, as was common in all the schools, for theable-bodied men, of course, were

almost entirely in the service. With the close of the war came more modern methods of coaching under Coach W. E. Everts, who did much to put football on its feet again at W.S.T.C.
The year 1923 proved to be one of the greatest years in the football history of the school. The College had been fortunate enough to secure the services of Ray E. Habermann, a man with tried ability andconsiderable experience. Coach Habermann turned out a team which could not only play a superior brand of football but which also proved to be a credit to the school in sportsmanship and in conduct off the gridiron. The same year marked the introduction of the State Junior College Conference. Winona held the championship of the Southern division and missed theState Championship by one game.
Season of 192.4
The close of the 1924 football season found Winona holding jointly with Hibbing Junior College, the State Championship honors in the Junior College Conference. It may be safely said that this past season has been the most successful season in the history of the school. This success lies not only in the actual winning of games, but in the fine spirit in which the sport was played. The co-operation of the student body, the sincerity and good sportsmanship of the squad, and above all, the untiring efforts of Coach Habermann have contributed toward a most successful season. Credit is due to Trainer Michael Bambenek and Manager Walter Kenny, both of whom have proved loyal and capable aids to Coach Habermann. Recognition also is due to Bryant Spencer, Alfred Kalkbrenner, Wilbur Beaton, John Sova, Clarence McLeod, Howard Olson, Herbert Zierdt, Lyle Garlock, Joseph Leckness, and Joseph Martin, who by their faithful work have helped make possible a championship team.
On September 27 the first game of the season was played as usual at La Crosse against the old rivals. La Crosse Normal. The score of 0 to 0 can, of course, tell little of the hard fought battle it was. The fellows went onto the watersoaked field with the determination “if we can’t score on them, they w< n’t score on us.” This first game showed the followers of the team that a machine of no small ability could be put on the field for Winona. The fact that La Crosse had always previously defeated Winona also increased the confidence of the fans.
ROOTER KINGS AND QUEENS Witt Thomas Beaton OttOn October 4 the first squad motored to Menomonie to play Stout Institute. The game, extremely hard fought at times, was won by the Purple and White with the score 3 to 0. Coach Habermann had adopted a policy of conservation of resources and therefore Chinske saved the best and most effective plays for the time of greatest necessity.
The next week, October 11, the squad played the Hamline Freshmen at home. Because of motor trouble the visitors did not arrive in Winona until fully two hours after the time scheduled for the game to begin. Although the Freshmen were somewhat upset by their late appearance, they never could have been a very good match for the Winona men who tore through them for a score of 44 to 0. The game was remarkable because of the almost perfect blocking of the Winona team.
The fourth game of the schedule was played at Mankato against the Mankato Teachers. It is thought by many that this game marked the turning point of the season for Winona. The successes of the preceding games caused the men to be a bit over-confident upon going into the Mankato game. A hot day coupled with this tendency toward over-confidence almost spelled defeat for the team. Happily the men found themselves before it was too late. By calling upon Rollie Tust to dropkick, they won 6 to 0. The team had learned its lesson.
The Rochester Junior College team invaded Winona, October 24, full of determination to avenge their defeat of the last year. The Rochester players, a strong, heavy, and very able outfit, came very nearly accomplishing their aim. However, the capable Winona defense withstood the strain and Tust’s educated toe did the work, 6 to 0.
November 7 found the first squad entrained for Campion College. The men were in excellent spirits and good football weather had come at last. Little was known of the strength of theWisconsin school and everyone was at his best at the start of the game. Because of a lack of time, as was the case in the Hamline game, only 10 minute quarters were played. Nevertheless, in this short time the Winona men were able to amass 34 points to their opponents’ 0.
At Home Coming, November 15, W.S.T.C. played St. Cloud Teachers College. This game marked the close of the 1924 football season for the college and also stood as the one remaining obstacle in Winona’s path to the championship title. Although the field was heavy with mud, a fast pace was set and held until the final whistle. A punt, blocked and recovered in the first quarter by St. Cloud, resulted in the only score against the Winonans during the entire season. The local men showed their reserve strength by putting over two touchdowns in the second quarter to offset this turn of events. The second half was hard fought but scoreless, leaving Winona victors and undefeated for the season.
CAPT. EMIL OSTRUM, Full “P’iRP”
To Capt. Ostrum goes the honor of leading the 1924 grid team to its first Conference Championship. Ostrum, at full, played in every game and was always a reliable plunger and strong defense player. “Firp” earned a sweater with two service stripes.
CAPT.-ELECT WALTER BUSCH, Center “Pee-Wee”
Busch, next year’s captain, proves himself worthy of leadership by his careful following of the ball and his powerful defensive work. We anticipate a successful season next year under “Pee-Wee’s” leadership.
EDWARD CHINSKE, Quartet “Edvat”
Chinske piloted the team to success and proved to even excel his past performances in pass grabbing and defensive work. He wears a sweater with three service stripes.
FRED SCHWAGER, Tackle “Fritz”
A more consistent man defensively and offensively than “PTitz” Schwager, would be hard to find. If a hole was to be made or an opposing back stopped behind the line, here was the man to do it.
LEO CLEARY, End “Pope”
Cleary, an exceptional punter, could be depended upon to get the ball out of danger under all conditions. While his work at end parallels his kicking ability, “Pope” earned his second sweater this season.
RALMOND TUST, Half
“Roily’s” dodging, end-running tactics were eclipsed only by the work of his educated toe. His dropkicks brought victories in the Stout, Mankato, and Rochester games.
“Bill” wears his sweater with the two stripes on the left sleeve because of his strong playing at guard position. His defensive work was a feature of the team.
Johannson, at guard, proved an interference man of worth and a speedy, aggressive, defensive player. “Bennie” is expected to prove even more efficient next year.
End
“Wee Gee’s” work at La Crosse established him asa football player of no small ability. His speed, aggressiveness, and tackling ability served him well in getting down under punts.
“Emeryk” showed up as a pass grabber of note as well as a fast, hard tackier when on the defense. He wears his sweater with the two stripes as evidence of two years’ work on the gridiron.
“Rolly” WILLIAM DeZELL, Guard “Bill” BENHART JOHANNSON, Guard “Bennie” ALFRED KALKBRENNER, “Wee Gee” EDWARD RUHNKE, End “Emeryk”WALLACE MORGAN, Guard
Morgan, although a little man, held down the guard berth to perfection. He could always be relied upon to perform his duty well. He won his second letter and a sweater this year.
GORDON BEATTY, Half
The throwing end of the pass game was ably taken care of by “Gord” Beatty. He also ran the ball and tackled his man equally well. His consistent efforts for the past two seasons easily earned him a sweater.
Half
Bannon will be remembered for his consistent ground-gaining ability and his reliable defensive play. He showed up as a quick-thinking, consistent player.
BERNARD WACHOLZ, Tackle
Wacholz was a man to be feared in the line. His hard, smashing play, both offensively and defensively, contributed materially to the success of the team.
JOHN LYNCH, Center
Lynch, a third year man, earnedhis second sweater by his efficient services in the middle of the line. His work in the St. Cloud game will be remembered because of his blocking, tackling, and especially his pass catching.
Martin played a hard, aggressive game when ever called upon and proved himself a lineman of ability. He is expected to be a valuable man next year if he returns.
Oarlock reported for practice last fall with no previous experience whatever. His development into a player of judgment and capability is truly remarkable.
Morrison, a third year man, proved his worth as a football man when he captured the team of ’20. His work was handicapped this year, however, because he was unable to report for practice at the opening of the season.
Although “Mike” couldn’t play this year because of his injury at La Crosse last season, he was out for practice every night and helped the squad materially. Had he been able to play, he surely would have been a member of the first squad.
“Walt” did his share in making a Championship team this year by caring for the squad and aiding the Coach in a manner which helped much to bring success to the team.
JOSEPH MARTIN, Tackle “Joe” LYLE OARLOCK, End “Garlic” CLYDE MORRISON, Tackle “Clyde” MICHAEL BAMBENEK, Trainer “Mike” WALTER KENNY, Manager “Walt”Basketball
ITH a nucleus consisting of last year’s men, namely Captain Beatty, y V Bambenek, Chinske, Bannon, Gerlicher, and Lynch, a third year student and former letter man, Coach Habermann developed a remarkably alive and capable outfit. Although the men were often considerably outweighed by their opponents, this handicap was more than made up for by speed and accuracy with plenty of fight and determination to win. The men exhibited the thorough knowledge of the fundamentals of basketball playing which is so necessary for a successful team. The work of Coach Habermann in developing and guiding the team is worthy of no small amount of commendation. Manager McLeod also contributed materially to the welfare of the men and deserves the sincere thanks of the squad and student body.
On December 5, after fitting dedicatory exercises, the first basketball game of the season, against Stout Institute of Menomonie, Wisconsin, was played in the new gymnasium. The game proved to be a splendid “opener,” as the score 16 to 17 shows. It was not until just before the final whistle that the Purple and White were assured of victory.
The second game of the season against an even more formidable opponent, Hamline University, was also played in the new gymnasium. The outcome of the game, which was a very close one throughout, was decided in the last few minutes of play when Maetzold, one of Hamline’s stars, sank three baskets from almost mid-fioor, thus clinching the game for the University men, 24 to 18.
On January 18, Eau Claire Normal played here in a rather uneventful game, except for the very last portion. Eau Claire played mainly second string men during the first half and the greater part of the second half of the game because
First Row—Manager McLeod, Chinske, Bannon, Hargesheimer, Captain-elect Tust, Bambenek, Coach Habermann. Second Row—Johnson, Gerlicher, Captain Beatty, Lynch, Kalkbrenner, McCready.of a Conference game scheduled with La Crosse Normal for the following night. In the latter part of the second half Coach Habermann put in his second stringers and a very interesting, although scoreless battle ensued. The game ended 41 to 12 in favor of Winona.
The Rochester Junior College team played the Purple and White cagers on January 16, also at the new gymnasium. The game was a thrilling one for Winona and a heartbreaking one for Rochester, for the Winona players came from behind in the latter part of the second half and won 23 to 20. The Rochester team afterward succeeded in gaining the title of Champions of Southern Minnesota.
The evening of January 23 found the Winona team playing Mankato Teachers at Mankato. Although the score at the half stood 14 all, Mankato was defeated 24 to 34. Coach Habermann directed his men to adopt a type of stall game with a “kick” in it which did the trick.
On January 30 the first squad played St. Cloud on their home floor. The Winona men seemed to have an off night and simply could not find the basket. Consequently they were defeated 29 to 19.
The following night, January 31, the men redeemed themselves by defeating Hamline University on their floor 26 to 28. As was true in the first Rochester game, they came up from behind and won.
A special train carrying over two hundred-fifty fans was run, February 6, to Rochester to see the second Rochester-Winona tilt. Winona went down to defeat 35 to 31 in one of the hardest fought games in the basketball history of the college. The game is one which will long be remembered by all who saw it.
On February 13, Mankato came to Winona to play. Mankato gained eight points before Winona scored but was held to only two more points which were made in the second half. The game ended 32 to 10 in favor of W.S.T.C.
Waukon Junior College played the Winona Teachers in their gymnasium on February 20. They were defeated in a very uneventful game by a score of 36 to 12.
On February 27, the St. Cloud Teachers came to Winona, played and left victorious with a score of 16 to 23. The score is no indication of the closeness of the game which was decided only by a five-minute extra period of play.
Hard luck honors go to Michael Bambenek, who, with the best of prospects for a successful season of basketball ahead of him, was forced out of the game because of a shoulder injured in football during the 1923 season.
Although the Winona team did not gain a championship, the season has been one of great success, not only from the standpoint of games won, but also because of the increase in interest on the part of the townspeople, andabove all, in the high athletic standards set and followed.
Prospects for next year look very encouraging with Captain-elect Tust, Kalkbrenner, Hargesheimer, McCready, and Johnson probably coming back. The training and experience that these men have gained this year will undoubtedly serve the school very materially next season.
Track
OACH HABERMANN’S call for track material was answered last spring by Captain Lund, Chinske, Zimmerman, Wall, Kelly, and Kleine of the 1923 track squad. Besides these men a good number of other experienced tracksters, including Ruhnke, Olson, Cleary, Welch, Sova, Ostrum, McLeod, Bambenek, Donath, and Gerlicher, responded. From the two groups of men Coach Habermann developed a team which placed consistently in the three meets in which it was entered, Bryant Spencer, serving as manager, proved to be an efficient worker and worthy of the commendation of the school.
For the first time in the history of the school a team was sent to the Hamline Relay Carnival at St. Paul on May 4. The Winona Teachers, represented by Bambenek, Ostrum, Cleary, and McLeod, placed fourth in the half-mile race in the Junior College Class. The time was 1:40 8-10. Bambenek, Ostrum, Kelly, and Wall, the members of the medley relay team, placed second for Winona in that event. The time was 4:00 2-10.
The Winona team met Luther College on May 10 in a dual meet at the local field. Although the Teachers were sadly outclassed, 95}4 to 27}4 Gerlicher won the 120 yard high hurdle, time 15:2, Wall captured second place in the mile run, time 56:4. Gerlicher also won third place in the 220 yard hurdles, time 29:1, Bambenek won the 440 yard dash, time 56:4, Donath won the half

On the same day, the Teachers College was host to 140 athletes from eleven high schools which participated in the Annual Southeastern Track and Field Meet for High Schools under the auspices of the College.
The final event of the season took place May 31 on the local field between Macalester, St. Mary’s and the Winona Teachers College. Macalester won by making 72 points, St. Mary’s was next with 47 points, and Winona was third with 42 points. Kleine won third place in the high hurdles, time 14 2-5, Wall won third place in the mile run, time 4:57 4-5, Wall and Donath got second and third respectively in the 880 yard run, time 2:14 4-5, Bambenek won second place in the 440 yard dash, time 54 2-5, Ostrum and Cerlicher won second and third places respectively in the 220 yard low hurdles, time 29 1-5, Welch took third in the two mile run, time 11:9 2-5, Ruhnke won second place in the discus throw, distance 109 ft. 9 in., the javelin throw was won by Capt. Lund, distance 133 ft. 11 in., the pole vault was won by Chinske, height 9 ft. 9 in., Bambenek took second place in the broad jump, distance 18 ft. 8 in.
At the time the Wenonah goes to press the outlook for a successful track season in 1925 looks bright. Captain Bambenek, Donath, Sova, Olson, and McLeod, members of last year’s squad are all out in suits. With them are Wedge, a former letter-man, and Nelson, Nyline, Linam, Tust, Ruhnke, Kalkbrenner, Martin, Rost, Wacholz, and Hanson, all experienced men. From this material a team worthy of the Purple and White is expected.
Winona will again participate in the Hamline Relay Carnival held this year on May 9. Entries will be made in the half mile relay, the mile relay, and the mile medley.
On May 15, St. Cloud, Rochester, Mankato, and Winona will compete on the local College Athletic Field in the First Annual Track and Field Meet of the Southern Division of the Little Ten Conference.
Coach Habermann isalso considering a meet with St. Mary’s of Winona or Luther College of Decorah, Iowa. A meet with either of these colleges would certainly insure a full track season.

The “W” Club is the outgrowth of a need for a men’s athletic organization in the College. With this idea in mind, the men of the school who had previously won a letter, met during the fall term at the home of the Director of Athletics, Coach Habermann. After much careful work, these men, with the help of the Coach, formulated a policy for a club and drew up a constitution. Coach Habermann was made Honorary Adviser and the following officers were elected: Wallace Morgan, president; Kenneth Bourne, vice president; Gordon Beatty, secretary; Michael Bambenek, treasurer; and Leo Cleary, sentinel. The other charter members of the club are Bryant Spencer, John Lynch, Emil Ostrom, Edward Chinske, Paul Bannon, William DeZell, and Arnold Donath. The purposes of the “W” club are to organize the men who have earned a letter in Athletics in the Winona State Teachers College, and to promote clean athletics in the College. The club embraces two degrees, the Initiatory Degree, and the “W” Degree. Not until a candidate has successfully passed upon both degrees is he considered a full-fledged member. A gold “W” pin set with nine half pearls has been chosen as the emblem of the club.
The men whohave earned letters in the sports of the current year have increased the membership to twenty-five. Keen interest has been evidenced by several letter-men of the alumni of the college whowished to become at least inactive members of the organization.

Girls’ basketball plays a large part in the activities of the college. Many women students turnout for this sport and are benefited physically, mentally, and socially.

The Juniors were finally victorious and carried off the cup.
GOLD "W" WINNERS
The “W” Club is an organization within the Women’s Athletic Association. It is made up of girls who have earned purple felt W’s and W pins. Earning one hundred or more points in extra-curricular activities entitles one to a purple felt W and two hundred or more points entitles one to a gold W pin.
Dancing, swimming, hiking, golf, tennis, hockey, basketball, baseball, horseshoe pitching, horse-back riding, and skating are some of the sports the girls enjoy while working for their W’s. Some of the sports are done individually, and others by groups, but in whatever manner, much real fun and pleasure are derived.
Eifty-one members of the W.A.A. have earned felt W’s. Gold W pins have been presented to the following: K. Gruber, H. Peterson, L. Prevey, J. Otterness, M. Pacovsky, A. Wachwitz, A. Kjerner, M. Eorrest, M. Nelson, C. Murphy, H. Bezdichek, E. Moore, M. Raddatz, M. Thomas, and K. Zimmerman.

The affiliation of the Women’s Athletic Association with the Women’s Division of the National Amateur Athletic Federation marked the climax of the reorganization movement which the club carried on this year. This connection was made because of a felt need for standardization of activities, points, and awards, and because the principles which the National Federation endorses are the principles that the club has embodied in its constitution and its laws.
The club has accepted whole-heartedly this attitude toward women’s athletics and has endeavored to carry out, in the activities it fosters, the true spirit of this purpose.
That the W.A.A. has affiliated with an organization of national consequence in the sphere of women’s athletics is verified by the fact that such national groups as the Girl Scouts, such Physical Education schools as Sargent, and colleges and universities, as well as hundreds of normal and private schools, have allied themselves with the Federation.
The movement is but little more than a year old, yet its infiuence is being felt in girls’ athletics. The affiliation of the W.A.A. of this College with so large a group means greater consideration of girls’ athletics and girls’ activities in this school in the years to follow.

We are fortunate, that in receiving the game from England in its full development, we acquire with it so many fine traditions and such a high standard of team play. With the possible exception of soccer, field hockey is one of the newest of team sports for girls.
The introduction of hockey into our own athletic curriculum proved a great success. The girls who came out for hockey showed much enthusiasm and a splendid spirit of friendliness and co-operation. After learning the fundamentals of the game from Miss Conklin the girls staged some spirited contests. Four teams were organized and the first hockey tournament ever held in our College took place at the College Athletic Field during November. A silver cup was awarded to the winning team.

SEPTEMBER
During the first two weeks of September former students and town’s people vied with one another in welcoming the new students and in showing them some of the charms of Winona. “Big Sisters” met the trains. “Getacquainted” parties were held at each of the four dormitories. Hikes to the bluffs, and “Stunt Night” closed the first week. In the second week all the churches entertained their respective student groups with varied forms of entertainment: receptions, suppers, auto rides, and plays. The Winona Association of Commerce supplied autos to show all students of the College the beauties of the city. The Y.W. invited the student body to a weiner-roast on the bluffs, and the Eaculty held its annual reception. At the end of the month the beautiful ceremony of Friendship Day was held.
On the evening of Friday, September 5, the College family, students and faculty, met in the Library Gymnasium to enjoy a get-acquainted and stunt party in which social dancing played a minor part. All present were divided by Miss Richards into groups according to their birthday months. Representatives from each group were chosen and put through a hilarious emotional test. Clever stunts followed: the Kindergarten Department presenting songs and dances of childhood; the Country Life Club, a tragedy in three parts; and each dormitory group the richest humorous expression of which it was capable. But the Physical Education group bore off the palm. It presented a gymnastic wedding at which various gymnastic movements were fitted to the wedding ceremony. For instance the minister entered with deep knee bend movement, the ushers with goose step, and the bridesmaids with an esthetic dance step.
The audience laughed themselves sick. There was no homesickness after this party.
Just one week later, on September 12, the entire college group donned its best attire for the annual Faculty Reception. A florist had decorated the room in green oak boughs and marigolds so that the gymnasium was a bower of beauty. The guests were greeted by Miss Richards at the library door. Within, the rest of the faculty welcomed them for the evening and for the year. After some pleasant moments of conversation to the low tones of an orchestra almost hidden in a recess of the library, all went to the gymnasium where dancing was enjoyed the rest of the evening. Delicious refreshments were served in a Kindergarten room where the appointments again were most attractive. Every one enjoyed this beautiful party.
OCTOBER
On October 13, Muriel Meyer entertained the college at chapel with a delightful piano recital. Miss Meyer comes to us from McPhail. She proved in a skillful manner that she is worthy of the recognition she has been given.
On October 14, the College had the pleasure and the honor of entertaining the presidents of her five sister colleges and the State Teachers College Board. The official opening of College Hall was recognized in a general assembly program during this visit. Addresses were given by President R. B. MacLean of Moorhead and by State Commissioner J. M. McConnell of St. Paul. The Mendelssohn Club and the College Chorus furnished music. A number of citizens attended this exercise. Later a dinner was served in the social room at Shepard Hall to which all the men of the Faculty were invited to meet the Board members.
The College and the general public were given the privilege of hearing Seumus McManus, Irish novelist and short story writer, speak in the auditorium, October 21. A fund of native drollery, an easy mastery of the racy Irish idioms, and a happy faculty of bringing out the distinctive'traits of his people, made the story-teller very entertaining.
On Saturday evening, October 25, the Seniors entertained the faculty and students at their annual party. Grinning pumpkin faces, black cats, and witches in a dim light made an appropriate background for a ghost story, told by Mrs. Simmers. After the Virginia Reel was danced by members of the faculty, and a peanut race was run (?) social dancing concluded the program of the first party in the new gymnasium.
The formal opening of the new auditorium to the public was marked by the first appearance of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra in Winona. That its concert was received with great pleasure and sincere appreciation was demonstrated by the rapt attention and enthusiastic response of the audience.
NOVEMBER
A short play. Sauce for the Goslings, was presented in chapel November 5. The play dealt with the efforts of a very modern father and mother to teach their children the cheapness of slang. It was the first of a series of plays given by the students of the play coaching classes.
Saturday, November 15, was Home-Coming Day. Preliminary festivities were held on Friday evening when the faculty and students of the college gathered around a huge bonfire at the athletic field. Speeches were given by members of the football team, the faculty and alumni. Thenall formed a line and wound their way, cheering and singing, through the down-town section. Saturday morning the Alumni inspected College Hall. The football game with St. Cloud, in which Winona was victorious, was the most vital event of the day.
Home-Coming festivities closed Saturday evening with a party given by the Junior High School Club in the new gymnasium at which the Alumni and the visiting football team were guests of honor. The harvest time formed the theme of the party. Most artistic decorations of vines with great clusters of
grapes made of dark red, yellow, and purple balloons encircled the room. In a beautifully conceived pageant the goddess of the harvest, Pomona, received the bringers of gifts of fruit and flowers. It was like a beautiful oil painting come to life, so rich it was in color. Harvest maids then danced, interpretating the beauty and grace of autumn leaves. Even therefreshments were a part of the central idea, cornucopias (horns of plenty) filled with candy in the form of yellow kernels of corn, and pop-corn balls. It was a very artistic party, worthy of a home-coming.
A joint recital, in which Miss Susan B. Davis read Tennyson’s Enoch Arden and Mrs. W. L. Hillyer played Richard Strauss’ musical interpretation of the poem, was given November 17 in College Hall. This artful presentation of a poem familiar to the majority of people added much to the appreciation of Enoch Arden.
On Tuesday evening, November 25, the graduation of the first class from College Hall took place in the new auditorium. The address on Children’s Books was given by Miss Della McGregor, Chief of Juvenile Division, St. Paul Library.
DECEMBER
Thursday, December 11, Mr. Charles W. Farnum, a retired attorney of St. Paul gave at chapel a reading of The Old Lady Shows Her Medals, by James M. Barrie.
On December 13, the Wenonah Players and the Mendelssohn Club entertained the faculty and students at a very delightful Christmas party. The guests first assembled in the auditorium where the Mendelssohn Club sang carolsand a two-act play. The Christmas Spirit, was presented by both clubs. The attention to minutest detail in the play and the sincerity of the actors combined to produce an almost perfect result. The beautiful story of service and kindness created an inspiring and uplifting influence appropriate to the Christmastide. The remainder of the evening was spent in the College gymnasium. The center of attraction, there, was a large, beautifully decorated Christmas tree at the foot of which were piled the presents. Santa Claus and three of his brothers guarded these until they should be distributed. Meantime, Santa himself presented to several members of the faculty appropriate gifts and read letters which he had received from them and from certain sorely troubled members of the student body. When a bag of candy and a gift had been given to each guest great fun was had opening and displaying them. All joined in the carols which were sung before departing. The guests left with the feeling that “Love is, indeed, greater than a crown.”

JANUARY
The Art Club entertained the faculty and students at an Arabian Nights party on January 24. As a result of long study and much effort on the part of members of the organization, everything, from the musical effects to the allenveloping fumes of incense, was in perfect keeping with customs of the East. The girls of the club were dressed in Arabian costumes cj'eated by themselves. In the screens and panels which adorned the walls, as well as in the attractive bazaars at each end of the room, the dominating night colors, blue violet and red violet, were accented with contrasting crescents and stars. The same general color scheme was carried out in the Saracenic bangals suspended from the lights, in the trays, and in the wrappings of the dates which were served as refreshments. Under the gay canopies of the bazaars fortunes were told by the mystic horoscope method. Throughout the program, which consisted of a dance of the Orient by Fern Lawrence and a clever chalk talk by Gordon Beatty, colored lights produced an Eastern atmosphere. Favors consisted of oriental rings and braceletsfashioned of paper.
In observance of National Drama Week, January 25-30, the Play Coaching Club presented Dunsaney’s The Lost Silk Hat. This humorous production, played by a caste of young men underthe direction of Mr. James Cole, was enthusiastically received by faculty and students.
FEBRUARY
The Music and Lecture Course for the year was formally opened on February 4, when Dr. Sigmond Spaeth of New York City delivered a lecture on ITe Common Sense of Music. Dr. Spaeth is a vigorous speaker with a keen sense of humor.His practical illustrations on the piano had a general appeal, and served to make his points concrete for the amateur as well as the professional in music circles.
On February 12, the school met at the chapel hour for a program in honor of Lincoln’s Birthday. Readings and talks were given by several members of the faculty and student body. The Mendelssohn Club sang two selections.
On February 17, the children of the third and fourth grades, under the supervision of Miss Smith, presented, at chapel, a play, Athene^s Birthday. This play, which showed much original work accomplished in art, physical education, composition, reading, and history classes, was very interesting and ])leasing to all.
Another triumph for the Wenonah Players was achieved when, on February 26, they played for a large audience of townspeople and fellow-students the three act comedy Only 38. Ample opportunity for enjoyment was afforded in the extremely humorous situations with which the play dealt. On this occasion special music was furnished by the College Orchestra which made its initial appearance.
The Kindergarten Club entertained the faculty and students at a party, The Festival of the Nations, in the gymnasium Saturday evening, February 28. Many different countries were represented by the flags which decorated the walls, by the appropriately costumed girls who took part in the program, by the favors, and by the dance music. One feature of the program was a geography lesson illustrated by human paper dolls. Following that was a Scotch dance and a wooden shoe dance. A scene symbolic of world unity concluded the program. This was a Maypole dance by girls representing the leading nations of the world. After the program refreshments were served in an adjoining room by Kindergarten Club girls who were dressed in a variety of national costumes. During the remainder of the evening the guests danced to foreign music.
MARCH
On the evening of March 5 exercises for the March graduating class were held in the auditorium. Twenty-one students received diplomas. The address on What a Teacher Can Do to Conserve the Health of Pupils was delivered by Dr.Max Seham of Minneapolis. Music was furnished by the Mendelssohn Club and the College Orchestra.
The second number on the Lecture Course was given Thursday evening, March 19. The Chicago Operatic Trio, accompanied by Frank St. Leger at the piano, presented a highly pleasing concert. Their program of various numbers from great operas delighted and thrilled the appreciative audience.
On Friday evening, March 27, occurred something new in the life of the College. The Dramatic Club of the Junior High School, a new organization in the Training School, presented in the auditorium a play of colonial days. Brave Little Tomboy. The conscientious efforts of the players were greatly appreciated by the audience.
The closing event in March was the Junior Class party, an annual occurrence, given in the College gymnasium which was most artistically decorated with balloons. The program presented during the evening was one of the most pleasing and effective given at a party this year. No one will forget the dance of the little wooden soldiers. Social dancing was also enjoyed by all.
APRIL
The third number on the lecture course was a concert by the University of Wisconsin Glee Club given April 13. This high class musical organization presented a most pleasing program to an attentive audience.
A play. In the Days of King John, was given by the children of the fifth and sixth grades as the culmination of a term’s work in History and English. Two performances were given, one on Friday evening, April 17 for the public, and one on the followingMonday afternoon for the school children of Winona.
The main event of the play was the signing of the Magna Charta, All the action of the play led up to this All costumes and stage properties were made in the department and were modeled after those used in medieval times. The object of the play was to recreate very vividly for the children some of the scenes from their history and to give them training in dramatic work. The play was a great success and was received with enthusiasm by both audiences.
On April 24, the College tendered a reception to Mr. and Mrs. Paul Watkins in appreciation of the rare art collection gathered abroad and presented to the College. To this the public was invited. Mr. Dudley Crafts Watson of the Chicago Art Institute spoke on Modern Painters.
April showers and May flowers were very much in evidence at the lastallcollege party, which was given by the Primary Club on April 25. Real dripping umbrellas, flying kites, blowing winds, soaring birds, and growing flowers were all signs that this was a real spring party.
The program of interpretative dances, carried out the same idea of spring. A charming solo dance was given by Miss Christine Giombetti. This party marked the close of a very successful year for the club.
The last number on the Lecture Course was a joint recital by Hans Kindler, cellist, and Leo Ornstein, pianist. The College was, indeed, fortunate to secure on its lecture course these artists prominent in eastern symphony orchestras.
MAY
May 1 was Alma Mater Day in the College. The young woman student most representative mentally, physically and spiritually had been elected previously by popular vote as Alma Mater. She was introduced to the students, faculty, and alumni, on this day, in a simple but most effective indoor pageant entitled The Spirit of Winona.
On May 4, the opening day of Music Week, the school was treated to a surprise in the way of a concert given by all the childrenin the Training School, under the direction of Mrs. Olson. The program opened with two lively numbers played by the thirty members of the violin class and was followed by a group of folk songs from all nations sung by the children in the intermediate grades. The feature number of the program was a little dramatization in song by the children in the first and second grades. The little songs learned during the year were combined with some rythmic drills and arranged by Mrs. Olson into a little musical sketch called Monday. The selections from opera sung last by the Junior High School were well done and showed a keen sense of appredation and understanding.
On Friday evening. May 8, a delightful operetta. The Frog Prince, was given by the Junior High School Glee Club under the direction of Mrs. Olson. The children really lived the music and by means of their keen enunciation put

across the story of the Frog Prince in very pleasing manner. Light, airy costurnes in contrasting colors added to the happy spirit of the singing and it was felt that the children accomplished what they set out to do: namely, to place a smile in the hearts of their listeners.
A gymnastic demonstration was presented, in the gymnasium of College Hall on May 16, by the Physical Education Classes. All women students took part in the marching, calisthenics, drills, folk and aesthetic dances, and games.
May 25 marked the twenty-fifth annual concert given by the Mendelssohn Club. The Peer Gynt Suite, a Cantata by Edvard Grieg, was artistically rendered under the direction of Mr. Walter Grimm. The school had been prepared for the concert by a series of chapel talks which made the wanderings of the wayward Peer Gynt, described in the music, seem more real. Three delightful piano numbers by Miss Muriel Meyer, the accompanist, supplemented the program and added much to an already enjoyable evening.
The Memorial Organ was shipped to Winona April 10, and its installation required about a month. For the first public recital one of the leading organists of the country was engaged, one who had already made Duo-Art records for the Aeolian organ. Consequently after he played a selection on the organ, he let the audience hear therecord of the same composition played upon the Aeolian player so that the public might appreciate how faultlessly the player can reproduce an artist’s interpretation of a masterpiece.
JUNE
Professor Richard Burton of the University of Minnesota will preach the Commencement sermon, and Bishop Charles Locke of St. Paul will give the Commencement address. The Alumni Banquet and Reunion will doubtless be largely attended this year on account of the return of many alumni to hear the organ and to see the new building with its new art collection and unique social room. We hope this last event of our social program will be one long remembered for the “tie that binds.”
ORCAMIZAnOM TRADE MARKS
The class of 1920 asked the privilege of establishing a social room in our college as its memorial. A room formerly used as an office was selected across the corridor from the general assembly room. After the cupboards and blackboards had been removed, the walls tinted, and thefloors polished, the class of 1920 proceeded to furnish the room, raising five hundred dollars for that purpose. At the windows they hung dark blue sunfast curtains with a deep lambrequin to produce the effect of lowering the height of the room. Two rugs of excellent color and design, an attractive oblong walnut table, and many wicker rocking chairs, made the room inviting. The Class left the following request which is now in our files:
“It is thewish of the Class of 1920 that the ‘Social Room’ be preserved by a committee appointed every year by the Senior Class. It will be the duty of this committee to see that the room is always in order and the conduct of those enjoying it is suitable. No furniture may be removed from the room without the consent of Miss Richards or a future Dean of Women, but it is the wish of the Class that the furniture be not removed. Whenever another Normal School building is erected to take the place of the one now standing, provision must be made for a similar room and the furnishings now in the present room transferred. All furniture must be kept in perfect condition and the wicker varnished.”
Gladys I. Brown, President.When the plans for our new College Hall were drawn, a beautiful large welllighted room on the first floor was set apart as a “Social Room.” There is at the present time keen interest in its furnishings. While in Chicago last summer. Miss Richards consulted the interior decorating department of Marshall Field and Company, asking for suggestions for an appropriate, artistic furnishing so that a definite scheme might be in mind, an idea toward which to work. As a result of this visit, one of the specialists of that department visited the College to get the atmosphere of the new building and to see the location of the room. Mr. Jennings, of the Mechanical Arts department, then drew an accurate plan of the room which was mailed to Chicago. Soon the firm sent a large attractive water color sketch showing how the Social Room will look when completed, and also a floor plan designating where all the suggested furniture should stand.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Watkins have contributed to the room two beautiful pieces of statuary, one of Sappho and the other a bust of a young girl, and five large oil paintings, all of which were bought abroad. One of the largest, a copy of Rembrandt’s Widow of Admiral Swartenhont, dominates the room. A beautiful taupe rug with a design of leaves resembling the floor of a forest, and tapestry hangings of old blue and rose figures against an old gold background, form the setting of the room.
The students have shown great ingenuity in earning money to make this dream of a most artistic “Social Room” come true.
IT WAS at the Winona Reunion and Banquet, held in St. Paul on November 2, 1923, in connection with the Minnesota Education Association convention, that the idea of the Memorial Organ first took definite form. The toast program centered in the memories of the old building, burned but a few months before. Each speaker fostered the crescendo wave of the same loyalty to the college in the new building that had been given the Alma Mater in the old. Following the toasts there was an enthusiastic and unanimous vote, pledging the Alumni Society to sponsor the purchase of a magnificent memorial pipe organ.
An Executive Committee was authorized by the Society, with Mrs. J. R. McConnon, ’96, as chairman. An appeal went out to every former Winonan, declaring that “nothing could more beautifully perpetuate the infiuence of the two score memorials gratefully presented year by year, or more graciously commemorate the great service rendered to education and character by the thousands who wrought within the walls of the well-loved old main building, or acknowledge in more fitting and tangible form the debt he owes the school, than will this great organ.”
Governor Preus wrote that he would “accept on behalf of the state a memorial organ by which it is proposed to honor the old home and in gratitude to those whose vision and sacrifice made possible the helpful infiuences of the school in days gone by.” The College Board granted to the Society permission to install the organ in the new building and expressed appreciation of so striking an evidence of goodwill and loyalty.
The Executive Committee, upon advice of persons who hadhad experience with organs, decided that an instrument which would fully meet all conditions as to size, form, and varied purposes for which it would be used, together with an automatic player, would at the very minimum require an amount not less than $25,000. The Faculty of the College after two sessions, voted to underwrite the project to the extent of $1000. The Senior Class voted to raise $500. and the Junior Class voted $600. Citizens responded promptly, and generously. Alumni throughout the state sent pledges and in the end there were 1045 subscriptions and the total amount subscribed reached $31,107.49.
The architect for the new building made special plans of suitable space to receive the organ. The contract for the organ was awarded, after careful study, to the Aeolian Pipe Organ Company.
The musical possibilities latent in the organ range from the dainty song, full of emotion, to the gigantic and passionless fugue, or from massive chord successions and striking contrasts of tone-color to stately and impressive hymns of worship. Installed in the new auditorium and used for concert and recital, for special devotional exercise, oratorio, and other musical forms, and for baccalaureate and commencement programs, it will prove most helpful to the special music work of the college and afford fine values to all who hear it. The organ is, without question, the finest to be found in any teachers college in the country.
HE Winona State Teachers College has been the recipient of a number of very wonderful pieces of sculpture and of a fine collection of paintings, prints, engravings, etchings, lithographs, and photographs presented by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Watkins. The extent and quality of the collection give the school an unparalleled distinction among the teachers’ colleges of the entire country, making it one of the most unique schools in this respect in the world.
The sculpture was secured in Rome, and Florence, Italy. The fact that these art pieces came from marbles of lost or exhausted quarries and so cannot be replaced, increases their value and importance year by year.
Four heroic busts of Roman emperors, Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, Septimus Severus, and Caesar Augustus, are a part of the collection. For supporting these busts there are pedestals, the marbles of which are Carrara, Giallo Antico, African, colored Bigio, or Egyptian alabaster.
Supplementing the four busts, there is a fiuted vase which, with pedestal, stands some nine feet in height at the end of themain corridor just outside the President’s office. This ovoid fluted vase in African marble is an old copy of a Roman specimen. The column for the vase is in Verde Antico marble with base and cap in Giallo Antico marble.
The Giallo Antico,African, and Rosso Antico marble came at the Roman period from Numidia, Africa, carried off by the Romans after the destruction of Carthage. The Verde Antico marble came from the island of Euboea, Greece. The Egyptian alabaster was imported by the Romans from Egypt as were most of the other coloredmarbles. They were used in the decoration of temples and monumental buildings.
A valuable modern figure of Sappho in Carrara marble and a beautiful bust of a weeping maiden in Parian marble grace the Social Room, six statuettes in terra cotta, representing six of thenine Greek muses, have been placed in the library.
Two bronze tablets, one commemorating Washington and one Lincoln, are placed on either side of the main stairs. One tablet bears a bas-relief of the bust of Washington by George E. Bissell, a facsimile of Washington’s signature, and a copy of his Farewell Address (1796). The other tablet has a bas-relief of the bust of Lincoln by V. D. Brenner, a facsimile of Lincoln’s signature, and a copy of his Gettysburg Address.
The pictures, which number nearly four hundred, were collected by Mr. and Mrs. Watkins in European art centers and have been framed under their personal direction. They cover a wide range of subjects, including reproductions (some in water color and some in oils) of many famous paintings; exterior and interior photographs of cathedrals, palaces, and other great architectural
Sappho
Vase Augustus Caesar works; original etchings and engravings; and etchedand engraved copies of paintings of historic and dramatic scenes, and of old English inns. In the collection are about eighty portraits of famous musicians, scientists, authors, poets, and artists.
The following list is illustrative of some of the outstanding pictures: photographs of the magnificent church of St. Peter at Rome and the cathedrals of Milan, Pisa, and Rouen: The Parthenon, The Colosseum, The Castle of Chillón, The Temple of Jupiter, The Jungfrau, The Venus Di Milo, Michael Angelo’s David, Rembrandt’s Lesson in Anatomy, Lo Spozalizio and Madonna by Raphael, The Lion of Lucerne, Pyramids and Sphinx of Egypt, The Forge of Vulcan by Velasquez, Joan d’Arc, Le Pont du Gard in France, The Erechtheum at Athens, The Alhambra at Granada, and The Concert by Giorgone.
The picture which has attracted most attention and created enthusiastic comment is a large and beautiful oil painting by Adolphe Gausson, a modern French artist. This picture, entitled Canal A Martigues, France, is a scene taken in a fishing village on the Mediterranean shore north of Marseilles. In this radiant, sunlit landscape, we feel the influence of the impressionists in their marvelous treatment of light. Two smaller paintings by Mr. Gausson are similar in style.
Other oil paintings of note are: a copy of Rembrandt’s Elisabeth, Jacobs Bas
Ovoid FlutedCanal A Martigues, France
byThe engravings are fine examples of pictorial reproduction before the invention of the photographic process. They represent the work of some of the best artists from one hundred to two hundred years ago. These fine specimens of a bygone art, which lend an air of quiet refinement and elegance to their surroundings, are replete with interest and well deserve serious study.
The majority of the pictures have been placed in the corridors where they may be viewed at all times without disturbing class sessions. Several of the oil paintings add greatly to the attractiveness of the social room.
The collections prove of the greatest help, not only as artistic decoration and as the basis for art studies, but also as an aid to instruction in history, literature, geography, music, and dramatics. Through the generosity of the donors named these increasingly rare art pieces have been made available to the college. They multiply many times the collections which the school had acquired for the original building from many sources and through half a century, but which were lost in the fire of two years ago.
Math, van Salk, a modem Dutch artist, a marine scene by R. Pearson, and two rural scenes by Frederic Ede.The faculty had awaited the coming of the spring vacation with as pleasant anticipation as did their work maddened pupils. It was like coming up for one gasping breath of air before going under water again. A number of the faculty members had chosen thisbrief respite of ten days for the realization of a cherished dream— a camping trip into the woods. For a little time would they forget that lofty citadel of learning wherein they daily watchedthe seeds of knowledge which they had planted grow and bear fruit. For a little time would they forget the eager, uplifted faces of the students, untiring in their quest for Truth!
On the morning of March 6, the little band of “enthusiasts” gathered at the front entrance of the Winona State Teachers College.
Susan B. Davis occupied the topmost step, her angular form gowned in a simple, beflounced, beribboned creation of silk and velvet. Below her Mrs. T. M. Cassidy sat by her husband, happy in the realization that she was looking her best in a dress of the most brilliant scarlet, its broad horizontal stripes of intense yellow giving her figure an illusion of rotundity. A little apart sat Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Selle. Nothing appeared to be funny but Mr. Selle repeatedly broke forth in the most boisterous guffaws at which poor Mrs. Selle flushed, laughed embarrassedly and apologized, “He always laughs at everything.”
Miss Davisturned a stern visage on the offender and said she thought it nonsense, being plain giddish, she called it. Adalyn Artz, too, lacked Mr. Selle’s happy nature, for she fidgeted with the crumpled lace on a little frock of baby blue.
“George!” she finally expostulated nudging Mr. Grimm, “What do they mean by keeping us waiting this way?”
Mrs. Grimm frowned fiercely.
“Let us bear with one another,” Walter Grimm answered, looking pained. He was a mild little man and nothing hurt him more than to hear an unkind criticism or a hint of sarcasm.
Just then they heard a great shout and they saw Mr. and Mrs. Owens and their little son, William, swinging up the street. Mr. Owens ran a few paces ahead, a jaunty little cap perched on the side of his head. His collar was twisted awry and a soot smudge marred his face, but little did he care. His was the spirit of the boy.
“See, William, if you can turn handsprings as well as father,” he called a challenge to his son.
A gay handkerchief fluttered behind the Owens trio and Miss Richards came up behind them, arm in arm with Mr. Gibson. The assembled party waited, pleasure in every eye.
“To-day we will see Art in its highest form Nature,” chuckled Mrs. Cassidy.
“We will have opportunity for using our leisure time well,” Mr. Gibson cunningly referred to a recent oratorical triumph.
“Psychology proves that a desire for more freedom is a natural reaction from too prolonged work. Now, our William —.”
But here Mr. Owens was interrupted by a beaming Miss Richards who in stentorian tones announced, “Hear! Hear! Let us throw off that which fetters and hampers the spirit. I speak of those petty conventions which have no relation to the moral code. Ladies, we will not wear hats and gloves to-day.”
Then to prove her good faith she opened her purse and gave each of them a symbol of sincerity, a stick of Uncle Wiggly’s spearmint gum.
Mr. Simmers and Mr. Sandt capered about the lawn with Miss Brunner and Miss Sutherland, playfully throwing handfuls of grass and little pebbles at each other. All went well until Miss Sutherland stumbled over a rock the shock of which caused the tears to course down her cheeks. Mr. Scarborough rushed up to comfort her with, “Now let us stop to consider the pebbles and this very fine specimen of granite. And, Oh, did you observe the moon last night. Miss Sutherland?”
“Oh! I’m so afraid I sprained my ankle,” cried Miss Sutherland.
“We shall speak of that further in a moment,” consoled Mr. Scarborough.
Mr. Habermann leaned against a tree, his head bent wistfully forward as he munched Ray Junior’s red and white stick candy. He was recalling those delightful days of barefoot boyhood. A deep sigh told of thoughts reverting to those of a sober father.
Mrs. Olson stood as though in a dream, a bright red bow of ribbon adorning her hair. A sparrow chirped gayly above her while she, with upturned face as though to be but no matter, there she stood longingly observing the bird while she held her violin clasped in her arms.
A clatter of hoofs broke upon these fond reveries and Miss Gildemeister, Miss Smith and Miss Gage rode up on fiery, high spirited, prancing steeds. The riders were attired in stunning new riding habits, creations direct from Moscow. There was a shouted, “Halool”, a clatter of hoofs as they disappeared in a cloud of dust.
Mrs. Simmers, in somber black, feigned happiness as she deftly balanced herself and tripped lightly along the top iron railing of the fence. A keen observer, however, would have detected an occasionaland carefully guarded glance directed towards the sportive Charles L.
Mr. Munson lay with his full length of boyish figure sprawled upon the grass. He might be likened to the mighty Lincoln as he lay observing two frivolous lady bugs making love.
Mr. French now was seen coming briskly up the street, dressed in white fiannels, wearing a derby and skillfully twirling a glistening reed cane.
“Well, I have an idear we shall have an ideal day. This reminds me of an apple orchard in the spring back in New England,” he observed as he saw the basket of delicious apples which were to be taken along.
Mr. Reed sat a little apart from the rest of the group. On his face was a wrapt expression and from time to time he hummed to himself. Miss Artz sneaked up behind him, unawares. Her report was that he was singing “All Alone” and that personally, she feared he was growing childish.
A car drove up and Mr. Maxwell stepped out while Mrs. Maxwell remained seated, smiling and calling jokingly to the assembled body. Mr. Maxwell was immaculately togged in his golfers and from the expression on his face, it was evident that he had been hurried.
“Now are we all ready?” he inquired.
The scene immediately turned into a bustle of confusion.
“Wait until I get my shoes on,” cried Mr. Munson.
“Oh! Where is Harold?” excitedly asked Mrs. Olson.
“I feel just like a sportive lambkin gamboling upon the green!” exclaimed the now buoyant Mrs. Simmers.
Mr. Habermann rushed about frantically crying, “Has anyone seen Ray Junior’s bootie?” while Mr. Selle and Miss Davis joined Mr. Reed in shouting vociferously, “Let us away! Let us away!”
Just then a wildly honking bus driven by Mr. Christensen, who was dressed in a Peter Pan suit, drove up and in it were discovered the heretofore absent faculty members.
Miss Grant and MissGrannis were perched atop chanting, “In the springtime it would be such dreary weather.”
“I forgot to lock the door,” suddenly expostulated Mr. Grimm.
“Here’s the bootie!” called the excited Mr. Habermann.
“Are there any other announcements?” asked Mr. Maxwell.
By thistime there was a general scrambling, shoving, pushing, and jostling to get into the bus. It was soon jammed to the doors. There was a snort as the motor speeded up, a growling of gears, and the bus lurched forward with a jerk as it spurted out from the curb. Mr. French stood on the step holding on with one hand while with the other he waved the derby and cane; the entire band was cheering wildly. The cheering grew fainter and fainter, the bus suddenly disappeared around a corner, the dust settled quietly and all was still.
I thought that Faculty meant something Awful
But now I’m a Grownup and I know Mister Maxwell and Mister French and Mister Owens, and Miss Gildemeister And Miss Richards, and Many more at T. C And so Now I know that Faculty Means something
Very, very Nice
Once, when I Was a Child
INTIMATE GLIMPSES OF THE GREAT AND NEAR GREAT
The 1924-25 school year has not passed without the arrival of a number of interesting personages into the pleasant glare of the lime light. Furthermore, the Winona State Teachers College has not failed to contribute a goodly number to theranks of the great and near great.
The successful football season brought to light several persons whose pictures deserve to be hung in the “Hall of Fame.” Among these, Coach Habermann Sr., probably should be awarded the grand prize of the year. Habermann is an athletic director by profession, but he is also a great man in other fields. His hobby is psycho analysis, and he has distinguished himself by his lectures, as an authority on the subject. The Coach studied character in the various jails and work-houses which he visited about the country and received his training in the art of convincing the public at the Madrid Arena, Madrid, Spain. Incidentally. Coach Habermann has his B.A. (Bunk Artist) degree, and a family.
Of the parts of Habermann’s machine possibly none deserves more credit than does Captain Emil Ostrom of Read’s Landing. Although his success as an athlete was his greatest accomplishment, he also gained remarkable popularity as a model. His grace of body, his sweet amiable expression combined with a dainty colorful complexion, and his soft purple eyes made him the rage with the feminine gender. While “Firp” has not announced his plans for the future, we received a good tip from a reliable source that he plans to go into the fish business on a large scale. We learned from his competitors that “Firp” already controls the fish market at Read’s Landing.
Joe Martin, a dramatist of prominence, has distinguished himself in more than one field of endeavor. Joe is a wrestler of merit who holds the championship belt in the hammock division. Martin came to the front in a recent match with strangler Wampus Morgan at a local livery stable. Joe sueceeded in getting three falls in quick succession. The tough part of it happened to be that he was always on the bottom.
Morgan deserves more than a mere mention as a wrestler and so does “Kid” Wacholz. Morgan is a leader in the Davenport Class, while Bernie is a champion in the Paper Weight Section. At the next meeting of the Athletic Board, we would like to suggest that wrestling be taken up as a major sport. With Wacholz, Morgan, and Martin forming a nucleus, W.S.T.C. should have a great team.
In the field of music, Robert Reed and Charlie Pfeilsticker stand supreme and unchallenged. Bobbie Reed’s success as a writer of popular melodies arrived simultaneously with the appearance of his famous “after shave” melody entitled “It’s Not My Barber Shop Anymore.”
Mr. Reed received his musical training at Reed’s berg, Wis., where he played the gas pipe in the Boys Band. He later directed a band at the Hollyhock Seminary (for girls) at Hollyhock, Quebec.
Mr. Pfeilsticker is not a composer like Reed, but he has become very popular as an interpreter. We know that all great singers possess a fine voice. The only way in which Charlie differs from others is that he possesses four or five voices. This statement will not be doubted when you hear Charlie reciting a bit of Swiss melody from his bedroom window. It will sound like a mixed quartet, but if you search the room, you will find only Charlie.
Perhaps you are interested in knowing where Pfeilsticker cultivated his voices. He did it at the same time he was cultivating the cabbages on his father’s plantation near Wabasha.
A Nucleus for a W. S. T. C. Wrestling TeamLike the other notables, “Rollie” Tust has gained success in several fields. His great drop-kicking and basket shooting success is closely seconded by his dramatic ability. The public was treated but once during the past theatrical season by the appearance of Mr. Tust. He was seen and enjoyed in “Sauce for the Goslings” in the auditorium last fall. “Rollie” is the president of the Junior Class and a lion among the ladies. He is also a holdout in the National League (kitten ball) but he will probably sign with the “Wingolds” for another season.
Another dramatic find of the past year is Janet Curtis. “Jibbers” will take the part of “Ronny” in “You and I,” the Senior Class Play which will be given June third. Janet is a remarkable actress, particularly in the roles of the blushing damselof fourteen summers. Away from the stage. Miss Curtis is a real normal American girl. She is very fond of sports and athletes, that is, a certain athlete with curly hair and bent legs.
For valuable services in bringing to the public’s view the best in photography, scandal, and nonsense, we award the diamond studded shaving mug to Carl Gerlicher Jr. Gerlicher, being the official photographer of this book, furnished us with a very fine assortment of pictures, among them, many fine group pictures of the “You and I’s,” of this institution. He also assisted wonderfully in picking up bits ofscandal and other interesting items of information. Thevalue of his work for this year’s book may be better estimated when it is known that the publishers of Whiz Bang, The Hot Dog, The Police Gazette, and several others made Gerlicher very advantageous offers. For instance, the Whiz Bang offered Gerlicher five hundred packages of Bull Durham for the dope he had collected on “Wee Gee” Kalkbrenner. Fortunately, Gerlicher refused to be bought.
Gerlicher, the PhotographerIn this outline of the great personages of this citadel of learning we cannot fail to give you a little insight into the life of its President, We know that Guy E. is a bear at golf, he is also a clever man on the volley ball court, but we were most surprised to learn that President Maxwell is a genius in the field of marbles.
It is a well known fact that Eugene Maxwell, the President’s son, was for several years, until the advent of Willie Scarborough, son of Prof. R. J. Scarborough, the champion marble shooter of the entire city. The interesting fact about Eugene’s success is that he got his training from his father. A short time ago we were at the Maxwell home seeking an interview with thePresident. We were completely astounded to find President Guy E. Maxwell down on his knees shooting marbles, out in theback yard.
We did not interrupt, but stood quietly bywatching the match, and anxiously awaiting the outcome. Mr. Maxwell played superior ball. After congratulating him on his sparkling victory, we begged him to tell us the secret of his success so that we might pass on a few words of advice and encouragement. The President blushed rosily and modestlyreplied, “I attribute my remarkable suecess to my strict training rules. To keep in good shape, I make it a point to spend at least two hours a day on my knees, and to prohibit all sorts of midnight lunches.
Literary honors of the year are divided between Miss Eleanor Goltz, recently retired editor of the Bi-weekly Disappointer, and Miss Morillae Walker, the new blue pencil artist of that publication.
Miss Goltz is a literary genius of unusual ability. Her dexterous work with the blue pencil, scissors, and jar of paste, brought The Winonan well on toward the peak of perfection in the field of periodical degeneration.
Under the guidance of Miss Walker, “The Low Down” has been so elevated that it is now called “The High Up.”
The journalistic qualities which reveal literary ability are found in the makeup of both Miss Goltz and Miss Walker. The primary requisite for a good editor is understanding. Both qualify in this respect. Miss Goltz wears an eleven E shoe, while Miss Walker is compelled to have hers tailor made. The
one other important characteristic which the writer of editorials must possess is a literary appearance. Besides possessing a vacant stare denoting “nobody home,” an editor should wear glasses. Unquestionably, we could find no finer examples of adaptability to a profession than are found in these two artists of The Winonan.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, we have saved what we think is the most interesting bit of intimacy for the last, and hope to surprise you by revealing the information that the reserved Professor Owens is a great fancy diver.
Mr. Owens in recent years has confined his talent to the privacy of his immediate family, but we learned from his son William, that Professor Owens used to be known as “Fearless Bill Owens of the Big Splash Water Circus.” To be certain that we were getting the correct dope on Mr. Owens’ past, we reviewed a great number of Billboards and found that all that the boy had told us was true.
Mr. Owens had large writeups in nearly every issue of that magazine for a period of fifteen years. The issue of June 1900 contained a complete biography of the diver with his picture on the cover. This was possibly written while Owens was at the summit of his diving career.
In reading later issues, we learned that Mr. Owens was severely injured when he missed the tank and struck his head on the pavement. The pavement was not seriously impaired. No more could be found in any of the later issues to tell us how Owens survived the fall. At any rate, we know that he is making a success in the field of psychology, so the accident was probably all for the best. No doubt you will all agree that Mr. Owens deserves a ring side seat at the convention of notables.

Richard Davis Gibson, son of the Dean of Men, entertains a fancy for the military. In a practice bombardment one evening Dicky tossed a jardiniere on Daddy Gibson’s head and brought hostilities to a close. The Red Cross nurse, Mrs. Gibson, was called in and both combatants were retired to the infirmary. Hot towels were applied to the Professor’s injured cranium, and a warm hair brush to the boy’s.
Dicky’s parents are now attempting to get him interested in political science, but since beginning to read the sport pages he has developed an interest in ring strategy and very soon plans to apply his acquired military knowledge to the technique of boxing.
Ray JiuLiiior Gives Psycto=analysis the Go=by
Examine the home portrait of the Ray Habermanns. The gentleman on the right is the Papa. But the dominant character in the landscape is Ray Edward Junior.
In an interview we learned that the boy was perfectly happy, even though the neighbors were not. He is definitely interested in physical development, likes basketball, and has already mastered the chest shot and the bounce pass. Examination of the child’s toe and of the chandeliers revealed that he also has the possibility of becoming a great kicker. All of this pleases his father greatly, while his mother wishes he would take an interest in character analogy.
In a brief confidential talk with Ray Junior, he stated that he wasn’t serious about athletics except for gaining a little fame and a girl in college. He said he was certain he wanted to be a detective.
William Jennings is coming along fine as an industrial artist. He has done some beautiful carving on the furniture around the house. The boy also enjoys metal work, particularly beaten brass and copper work. He has redone the family kitchen utensils in fine style.
However, he has shown more definite progress along military lines. He has gained marked perfection in marksmanship with his pop-gun and carries his sword well. When asked, he admitted that he was going to be a General in the next war.
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
ABANQUET did Mary Grant for Torkel, Sunde. With Beth to Boss and Genevieve to Cook there had been no opportunity for Mildred to Marr, no danger of Burns by Elizabeth, and nothing by Leola Chard.
Although Helen made Noyes and lone did Hammer, Walter was Grimm and Mildred Moody, Orpha did Love it. Before the pie was opened we did choose Neva King and Alice Kaiser.
The pie was declared to be by Arthur, Green, by Annie, Gray, and by Rosemary. White. “All of you are color blind for it is,” said Irene, “Brown.” Dedared Lois, “Wright.” The filling was conceded to be by Vera, Berry and by Vernice, Rice. It proved to be, as thought by Helen, Graus. The crust we also did comment upon. It was thought to be by Mildred, Wood, by Ruth, Bohn, by Alda, Whetstone, and by Mary, Graham.
Two opinions did we fail to comprehend, for Arthur spoke Erench and Geneva Lattin. This made Catherine Boylan and she called in disgust, “Erwin, Selle it.” At this Joseph started a Streiff which was quelled by Jessie Beaton ’im. In the confusion did Margaret Tripp, and when we saw Burkholder, oh, wasn’t the look upon Marie Blank!
Said Ella, “Mann, I wish someone would open the pie!”
“Yes, come,” said Leola, “Sample it.” Thereupon she gave Miriam Herr share. “Hurry up, give me a Wedge,” Clarence said.
Exclaimed Hannah, “Weisman, see Eleanor Stowe her pie away!”
Said Morillae, “Walker out!”
Cried Eula, “Moore.”
Answered Geneva, “Smaby it’s all gone.”
Shouted Jane, “Shaw.”
IRLS! beware of the boys who wear spiked shoes and who pound the cinders, for in the springtime a young man’s fancy turns to love or to track. The two sports are identical in so many ways that the boys will bear watching. Training in one is preparation for the other.
Both sports are instinctive and call for sensori-motor activity. In love, words must flow rhythmetically on without conscious effort. In track, the feet must move ceaselessly on long after all conscious control has been expended. Time for breath is limited in either. If carried to excess, both sports are liable to produce cardiac derangement. Symptoms of over-training are: a waning of the appetite, a sleepy appearance, a wandering recitation, a vacant stare, and general absentmindedness.
There is nothing more stimulating in either sport than keen competition. Caution is thrown to the winds, and the opponents dash recklessly forward. Both activities require a certain amount of coaching from the sidelines, in one case, a dean; in the other, a coach.
In college, one sport is organized, the other recognized. Instructors have a definite schedule for rehearsals. In order to avoid conflicts, one is usually scheduled after school, the other in the evening. Training rules must be strictly obeyed. In one, the diet is watched, and in the other it is wanting. Onions do not appear on either menu.
Time is recorded by the “stop watch,” and the gun is usually the starting signal in either case. In track, it is fired by an official starter, and in romance, by an officious father. Starters are limited to blank cartridges because the hint is always taken.
Certainly speed is an essential factor in either branch. Close followers of either sport pay little attention to the first two or three laps, for they know that the contestants are saving the great drive for the final lap. Victory in one is rewarded by precious rings and a triumphant trip to the alter; in the other, by cheering from the grandstand and by gold medals. Winners in either sport usually hoard letters and pictures to revive their memories in future years. Folks do not blame the contestants, even though they seem to be wasting their energy. It is a worthy use of leisure time.
Girls, better turn back to the track picture and pick your winner. His training has been thorough. Since the sports are so similar, any one of those gaunt, energetic, shifty looking fellows could be remodelled into an ideal romancer on twenty-four hoursnotice.
And boys, the girls are talking of having a track team another year. With the preparation track would give them for similar sports, what would we do, outnumbered eight to one? Oh well, remember what they said about Solomon.
A tip of the hat, Or a lap of the track. Are means to the very same end. Be the pace not too fast And they stick to the last. No heartstrings there’ll be to mend.
Act i Scene I
The scene is a darkened living-room in the Baumann residence.
The time is 7:00 P.X., Monday evening, April 1, 1925.
Pill A. Baumann enters. He is tall, handsome, and only slightly pigeontoed. You will know as soon as he speaks that he is in love. The pneumatic tread of the flat feet stop.
Pill—1479 please Right I’d like to speak to Miss Shaw, please. Thank you. Did I tear you away from your dinner? Good, you need to reduce. I think I’ll call every evening at seven. An hour in which to eat is long enough for anyone. Ha!Ha! (There is a brief silence which is broken by the arrival of another thought. Pill has been trying to get an April fooler on Jane, but has failed consistently. Yes, did you hear that Miss Richards was letting the girls go out tonight? Suppose we go to a show. (Brief silence, Jane must be saying something.) Oh! ah! uh! yes, that’ll be fine, yes, I’ll hurry ah er g’by.
Pill hurries across the room and turns on the light. We notice by the expression on his visage that something is bothering him. He looks about the room, then dashes upstairs. He returns quickly with a savings bank in his hand. He shakes it to get an idea of its contents. He lays it on the table and bats out. He re-enters with a hammer, picks up the bank and gives it the final once over, places it on the brick floor in front of the fireplace and allows the hammer to drop forcibly upon it. He picks up the coins which appear to be largely pennies, and counts them. (He finishes aloud.) 84-85-86, thank goodness! Now to trade them for some money. (He picks up the remains of the bank and his tool, turns off the light and goes out.)

Scene 2
Whitfords.
An assortment of men and maids are seated about the front part of the store. The Victrola is humming “Who’s Sorry Now,” while Cleary is furnishing byplay by drinking a milk-shake. We do not hear much of the song. Baumann enters.
Gerlicher—Shaw just left.
Pill is absorbed in removing the pennies from his pockets.
Pill—Whit, can you give mesome money for these pennies?
Whit—How much?
Pill—Eighty-five cents.
Spencer—How can Jane get out tonight?
Gerlicher—Robbed the kid’s bank. Must have a date. (Chorus of laughter from the crowd.)
Whit examines the till.
Whit—Cleary, did you pay for that milk shake?
Cleary—No. (To Lynch) Have you got a dime? Pay for this. (Lynch renigs and Whit gives Baumann eighty-five cents for the pennies. Pill does not bother to count the money but throws it into his pocket and tears out.)
Spencer—How does that guy rate a date on Monday night?
Whit is counting the pennies.
Whit—Darn that Baumann, there are only eighty-four cents here. (The gang gives Whitford the merry ha-ha as the curtain falls.)

Act 2 Scene I
Back yard of the Baumann residence. Pill is busy washing the car to obtain cash with which to re-imburse his sister Catherine. Catherine enters.
Catherine—Mamma said you should take out the ashes when you get that done, and
Pill—Aw, get tired!
Catherine—And you have to get me a new bank, too.
Pill—Hang it, get out of here.
