From the first of January on, a familiar cry around the annual staff is “When is the Yearbook coming out?’’ After the urge to kill is subdued, we all settle down write copy, cut pictures, draw up a dummy, and run on countless trips to the printing company. The photographers are run ragged with assignments the Rainey twins and Dick Mann can verify that. Ray Colwell tracked down Seniors until they ran when they saw him coming for fear he would give them something to do glossy prints would they ever come in? Fred Sandeen rounded up the business end of the annual Tom Stoltman dug up the advertisements Art Olson wrote up the sports section and Marilyn Bublitz gathered up all the information, compiled it, and got it off to press.

Once a month the halls are filled with people reading a newspaper no, this is not a cultural era. merely the day the WINONAN comes out. This is the day that Larry Catlin, Editor, can sleep his worries are over for at least one day then he has to start thinking for new stories, articles, and rarely, ideas. Paul Sagal periodically goes mad with the business accounts and generally the whole staff is one beeg rushing madhouse over in the publications room. Mr. Behling is the Adviser But his headaches are few, for all the problems are those of the staff. A staff meeting in the pub-room formulates the ideas.
P. Sagal, J. Fishbaugher checking “business”. Mailing troubles are headaches of M. Weisenberg and L. Bielke.Over in the southeast corner of Somsen Hall is the Industrial Arts Club headquarters which has quite a following among T. C. males. Around forty-five members of the club congregate during the monthly meetings to prepare lecture programs, movies, etc., to be presented and to arrange for at least one field trip per quarter to visit some industry or trade organization for the purpose of allowing prospective Industrial Arts teachers to observe procedures and methods used by such institutions. It is felt that this will enable these teachers to plan better programs when they go out and teach programs which will more nearly fit the individual needs of thestudents.
Several lectures have been given and a field trip to Minneapolis enabled the group to visit Dunwoody Trade School and a Furniture Manufacturing Company. A Spring trip is being planned for Joston’s in Owatonna. John Pendleton is president; Urban Shugart, vice-president; Robert Wallace, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. Capron is the adviser.
On thelast Monday of each month the members of the Elementary Grade Club have a meeting in which they try to promote their purpose to work together for the betterment of childhood education. Marilyn Thompson was president; Joyce Eskra, vice-president; Norma Games, SecretaryTreasurer; and Miss Dunlay, adviser.
They, too, had their share of activity this past year in the fall they sponsored the Freshman Tea their good deed for the holiday season was remodeling toys for the poor children they carried the load of the Christmas Seal Campaign and in the spring they sponsored another Tea, this time for the graduating Seniors and Sophomores.
At their monthly meeting they usually have a guest speaker The speakers and their topics are something like this Mr. Fishbauger, Elementary Education; Mr. Frange, Use of Visual Aids in Education; Miss Foster, Reading; and Miss Jefferson, Elementary Books All this to prepare students to teach in elementary or rural schools.

During the meetings they have lectures on current scientific affairs. For instance. Dr. H. A. Green, biologist of the United States government’s Fish and Wildlife Service, spoke to them about
wildlife here and about Winona.
In September the group initiated twenty-six new members to replenish the supply. Activities for the eventwere held at Holzinger Lodge.
This year the club took another trip to Chicago, Illinois, and Madison, Wisconsin on March 9. They visited all the points of interest people usually visit on such trips. The sixteen travelers returned, happy, educated, and dog tired.

The Science Club sponsored its annual Science Day Thursday, March 23, with programs of student demonstrations that were attended by students, alumni and the public of Winona and its surrounding territory.
In the physics department experiments and displays of light, sound, electricity, simple and complex machines were carried on. Outstanding were displays such as photoelectric cells, oscilloscope showing different sound waves, spectroscopes, audio oscillator used for testing hearing range, generators, dynamos, models of the human eye and polarization and its use in home and industry.
Very complete insect collections, bird collections, nutrition experiments on hamsters, heredity experiments as studied through rats were all ineluded in the zoology lab. In the anatomy department were skeletons of man and various animals, displays of structures and functions of the human body and student dissections of cats showing clearly all the organs in them. In the botany department were found controlled experiments on plant life, a botanical garden and other displays of plant life.
The chemistry department conducted experiments in quantitative analysis, organic chemistry and demonstrations of wetting agents, electroplating and fire extinguishers. Demonstrations in the mathematics department included a specially constructed apparatus to trisect angles, tricks in mathematic and explanations and examples of all phases of mathematics offered by the college.
Those who are interested in Business and its factors belong to the Commerce Club. They have done their share in providing entertainment for the college they sponsored an all school party and a movie, “The Lodger”.

With new speed and enthusiasm the debate team grew and grew and finally became recognized in college circles due to the backing and help given it by Mr. Becker. They divided into two groups which trained new speakers and developed the older ones; a freshman team and a varsity team. Actual tournament debating began in January with the topic for the year; Resolved, that the United States should Nationalize the basic non-agricultural industries. Debates were held in several cities on this territory, Eau Claire, River Falls, St. Paul, and Minneapolis.
The team traveled to the Mid-Western Debate tournament at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois in February, where they debated with teams from Nebraska, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri.

Dave resolvingThe 1949-1950 school year meant a golden anniversary for this musical organization. For fifty years the women’s choral group has been active in concert work and, more recently, in touring Minnesota high schools. Twenty-four members are directed by Mr. Grimm and accompanied by Miss Bard. This year at their by-weekly rehearsals, the girls have worked especially hard endeavoring
to make the golden year a memorable one. Various concerts during the year were climaxed by a big fifty-year’s concert and celebration in the spring. Elaine Sanden was president; assisted by vicepresident, Sylvia Tanning; Corresponding Secretary, Beverly Buckman; Recording Secretary, Nancy Buck; and Treasurer, Jen Jensen.
When a student leaves this school one of the things he will always remember is the music that comes from the tower voices singing songs he will never forget One of the groups that contributed their share to music was the Mixed Chorus.
An easy informality characterized rehearsals of the college chorus, which sings under the direction of Mr. Grimm and is accompanied by Miss Bard A combination of the Mendelsshon and Apollo clubs, the chorus meets every week to practice numbers ranging from the Hallelujah Chorus to some of the modern folk tunes.
In December a Christmas concert was presented by the group for the local Rotary Club. President George Truwe leads the singers with the help of Mary Dean, vice-president; and Jen Jensen, secretary-treasurer.

BOOM BOOM! That bit of drum work is part of the College Band practise that is held twice a week. One can always tell when the group is in session for the noise carries through the ventilating system and the bricks jump in the foundation. They claim they can play anything from overtures to novelty numbers.
Band membership is open to any T. C. student who can play an instrument (Odd Requirement?) and can find time to attend rehearsals (even Odder). Chapel concerts, marching routines, and playing for football games gives the band experience but the most interesting part of being a band member is watching the squeeks, blasts, bumps, and embarrassing solo silence all iron out into a smooth organized piece of work.
Gordon Danuser could play the loudest so he was elected president; Lois Cronen, vice-president; Clarence Lee, secretary-treasurer; Ray Mortinger, Sergeant-at-Arms; and Mr. Heyer is the director.

After an opening 6-0 victory over St. Mary’s Redmen, the Warriors were “warriors” in name only as they failed to win a remaining game. They managed to stage a mild upset by tying the Moorhead team 20-20. But aside from these two games, things were pretty blue for the rest of the season. One bright spot in the football picture is the fact that only six lettermen graduate from the squad. They are: Don Judd, Dan Besser, Pinky Bennett, Dave Todd, Daud King, and George Sanstede. Improvement is the word for the coming seasons.
The season of upsets ended with the Warriors having a seven-won and fifteen-loss record. This record was compiled with a maximum of close and thrilling games.
The Peds staged the upset of the year by beating Mankato 43-42 on Pete Polus’ 66-foot shot in the closing seconds of the ball game. It was the first time in ten years that Winona T. C. has defeated the Indians in basketball.

The team compiled 1,153 points for a 52.4 point average as compared to 1,258 points and a 56.2 average for their oponents.
Hitting at a precentage of better than .320 for a team average, the Warrior baseball team won three championships with 14 victories and 4 defeats. The team annexed the city championship with two victories over St. Mary’s.

Run! boys, run! And that’s just what the track team does. The team, missing men in many events, could not gather a first place trophy; but they came as close to it as possible with a small squad.
They placed second in the Minnesota State College Conference meet after leading through the meet until its final two events, in which they had no men entered. It was the same story in the Minnesota-Wisconsin State Conference meet where the track men placed third. The Peds dropped their only duo-match to LaCrosse but they came back with a second in the four team Mankato meet.

Every campus has its share of “beeg” letter men running or ambling about even T. C. For an obvious reason our lettermen wear “W’s” and they have organized the inevitable “W” Club The emblems worn by the members of this group signify that the wearers have participated in a major sport and have adhered to the requirements of good sportsmanship The function of this "%/" e¿u
group is to award “W” blankets to seniors who have won four letters and in sports or three letters have been captain Their candidate won the homecoming queen contest this year Big shot in the club is Darold King, helped by Bob Stark, vice-president; Ralph Kershaw, secretary-treasurer; Fletch Harvey, Historian; and Advisers Mr. McCown, Mr. Arns, and Mr. Brodhagen.
The Warriors did not fare so well in thefield of golf as they failed to come out on top once. They placed fourth and sixth respectively in the Minnesota State College Conference and the MinnesotaWisconsin State College Conference.
In duo meets they chased the ball around the course in five matches but could not salvage a victory.

On Monday during auditorium programs we heard speakers; lecturers informed us on nearly every subject manner possible. One who no doubt remains outstanding in everyones mind is Mr. Charles Emerson Boddie. His dynamic presentation kept us all in line hisclever humor kept us in stitches and his general impression and speaker’s manner kept us aware of the fact that success is an all important goal for each of us. Will we ever forget his deep thought, especially in the statement “Do not mistake the rustic cackle of your berg for the murmur of the world.’’ We need more people like Mr. Boddie.
The Community Concert series brought many talented artists to Winona this year, but they too had an outstanding personality and artist Alex Templeton. The largest turnout of musiclovers ever seen in Winona filled the High School auditorium and the stage. We heard Debussy, Ravel, Rachmaninoff and “Rag Mop’’ just an example of the versatility of the artist. At the end of the concert he played a composition of his own and then for humor he combined several songs and played them all together. This was a concert we will never forget because it was performed by a man we will never forget, Alex Templeton.
