Wenonah Yearbook - 1953

Pillars housed the first light of knowledge. The flame, steady through the years, burns with an endless, timeless wick of constant seeking for new knowledge, new methods. The heat of the past is now barely noticed; yet its warmth burns a path in the present. Its glow lights our steps as we see our future outlined in the smoke. Centuries after the first pillared home, the flame, brighter, warmer, larger beyond any past dreams, settles in a new home of steel. To this constant progress in knowledge which the following pages reflect, this book is dedicated.

Progress, from both a personal and social angle, figures highly in the fundamental aims of the college. Founded for the purpose of helping prospective teachers to grow in understanding of the physical being, in the special abilities in teaching, in understanding himself, in understanding others and their problems, in helping him to become a creative being, and in instilling in him the urge to accept his place as a responsible member of society, the college is under constant evaluation and evolutionary process.

Realizing, too, that our democracy's progress rests upon theeducation of those who will be tomorrow's citizens, a recruitment program has been set up to help overcome the present shortage of teachers. Faculty members and students collaborate in this program.

A placement service is maintained by the college and assists both graduates and students in finding positions. Many students have part-time employment.

Various other services such as housing and financial assistance are handled by these departments.

Neis Minne, President, M. R. Raymond, Vice President.

Revisions in the college curriculum are made through the study of the present-day world and its problems. Those problems of the past which are no longer pertinent to our situation and world are discarded.

Progress in any one field means revision in all others. No field is separate from the others. For instance, discoveries and inventions in the field of science and industry have a direct bearing on the literature produced in any period.

So it is that the college, in serving the community and in meeting the needs of its students, must also progress.

Progress, too, in the form of services rendered to the students. In the college, it is recognized that students of the present-day world often meet with many problems, both large and small. Oftentimes, the student feels in need of an adult counsellor or advisor. A system has been set up whereby each student has a personal advisor as well as the dean of men and the dean of women who act as general advisors.

The technological progress of the past century is amazing and, through research and constant adjustment, that progress is continuing to make our world a happier and more comfortable place in which to live.

Courses training the prospective teacher in understanding both the physical and mental characteristics of human beings as well as training in the fundamental skills of teaching are presented in the field of education. A particularly outstanding feature is the observation-participation program recently introduced in this field.

Social Studiec

An understanding and appreciation of our progress are brought about through study in the field of social science. The institutions and cultures of the past are a constant source of practical ideas and a ready store-house for interesting facts.

Development of both the physical and mental bodies is stressed in the field of physical education rather than the training of the physical body only, as in the past. New ways of promoting reasonable thinking and action as well as fair and democratic play have been developed.

Courses in English, French, and Spanish are offered by the college. A course in humanities integrates this department with the art department by drawing together the five major branches—literature, painting, sculpture, music, and architecture.

Work in this field may also be centered around the fundamentals of speech and may lead to a speech major or minor.

An appreciation of the works of the past comes through a study of the literature of various periods and various languages.

Another of the fine arts, music may well become one of the most enriching factors in a person's life. Classes in musical theory and skills develop the ability of the student to know and appreciate good music.

Programs of both industrial and fine arts are carried on in the college. The former offers courses in crafts, woodworking, printing, drawing, and work with various materials and equipment.

The courses of the fine arts offer basic teaching skills for the prospective teacher as well as more specialized work for the more talented and serious artist.

^UáÍKC^

Students interested in business administration as well as those interested in teaching find an enriched program as far as the business department of the college is concerned The Bachelor of Arts degree may be attained in the field as well as the Bachelor of Science degree.

A new realization that the dormitories and college offices are a vital part of the student world and that every student should have the ability to make full use of hem has placed an emphasis on those departments. The idea that the student fs a citizen in the college world and that he must learn to live cooperatively in that world has brought about an accent on college and dormitory life.

An increased emphasis on the part that health plays in the life of every individual has caused change in the college health program. New and better services are constantly being offered by the department.

The college is fortunate in having an excellent collection of many and valuable volumes in.its library. Increased services to the student are being made and there is a constant effort to improve the facilities of the library.

Constant progress is being made in the methods and knowledges of the laboratory school.

Consisting of a kindergarten, elementary grades, and the junior high school, the laboratory school is maintained to provide a place for student teaching under the guidance of trained and capable supervisors.

In the laboratory school, there is no attempt made to enroll either extraordinarily bright or extraordinarily dull students. Rather, it is the aim to provide as much of a normal situation for the student teacher as is possible.

Student teachers take part in extra-curricular activities as well as In classroom work. Attempts are made to provide an average community setting for the student teacher.

The purpose of the Canterbury Club was twofold—social and educational. The Episcopalian or prospective Episcopalian members took a trip on the Mississippi River in power boats and had a dinner at the Winona Hotel. On the educational side were the study of the church's doctrine, the philosophy of education, and worship.

The club elected no officers. Dr. Ragar and Mr. Hoyt were the advisers.

The annual pancake supper, a Halloween party, weekly discussions on timely topics, and the presentation of a religious service in area churches were all on this year's L.S.A. program.

After an opening 6-6 deadlock with Stout Institute injuries began to bother coach Brodhagen's Warriors and before the final gun Winona had lost an entire backfield and half a line via the injury route. The riddled Peds could not manage a victory the rest of the way and had to settle for a 0-7-1 season standing. This changed later to 1-6-1 when Bemidji forfeited its win because of an ineligible player.

Co-captains and ends Roy Keller and Roland Hill led the Warriors to spirited displays which outplayed Mankato, River Falls and St. Mary's without gaining the verdict. The gridders came within three minutes of defeating St. Mary's in the intra-city game but couldn't hold on to an early lead as the Marians triumphed in the annual classic.

Warrior George Hansen was named to the all-conference team at the end of the season as a result of his formidable play at center. Arnold Boese, a first year guard, received a second team berth while end Dick Kowles and backs Jerry Grebin and Vic Grabau received honorable mention.

Eau Claire tries the Warrior left end.

The Warrior cagers won six games and dropped eighteen this year, which gave them a fourth place finish in the Minnesota State College Conference race.

After a slow start, the Peds caught on fire and Won three of their last six chames in a furious finish, Winona won the city championship this year, topping arch rival St. Mary's in two straight games, 84-83 and 70-67. Among the late season victims of the Warriors were the Platteville Pioneers, Wisconsin Teachers College title holders. The late surge also produced a new Warrior individual scoring mark as Ron Richter tallied 39 points in the victory over Eau Claire.

Dick Kowles led the Purple scoring for the season with 317 points. His 16.5 average was also the best in the Minnesota State College Conference. Captain Rod Lingenfelter and Ron Richter were the second and third best Warrior point makers.

High spots of the campaign were the invitational tournament at Huron, S. D., the breaking of the sixteen year St. Mary's hold on the city championship and the rousing overtime win over Plattevi lie's Wisconsin champions.

At the conclusion of play junior Dick Kowles was named to a spot on the mythical all-conference team at a second team guard spot.

The Warrior baseballers played at a .652 clip to record their fifth straight championship season, this time on the basis of a perfeet 8-0 mark in Bi-State leagueplay. The Warriors won 1 5 of 23 games over the route even though the team which began the year by blanking Southwestern College 5-0 was the greenest Coach Arns had worked with in four years. However after losing double headers to the powerful University of Arkansas and Minnesota nines the Warriors settled down like a veteran team.

High spots in the Winona campaign were the no-hit win over Southwestern, the 2-1 triumph over St. Mary's and the double win over St. Cloud in the Bi-State Conference showdown.

Chalk up two more points tor our team.

Queen Charie Ludwitzki and her attendants, Elloyce Johnson, Hideko Itomura, Ann Fosness and Maureen Hildahl, reigned over the 1953 homecoming festivities. Ralph Strommer's winning slogan Moor-head-aches sparked the student body on to create one of the best homecomings W.S.T.C. has had.

Queen candidates: M. Erickson, W. Holliday, B. Luker, C. Morse, J. Winchester, M. O’Reilly.

Bright October weather and the spirit of homecoming insured success. T.C.ites parading down third street, colorful floats, a hard-charging football game, and alumni reunions added up to a homecoming to beat all homecomings.

Frosh initiation, sponsored by the sophomores and endured by the freshmen, came to an end at the kick-off of the homecoming game. The Kangaroo Kourt dealt fair and impartial injustice to all errant frosh who infringed upon the rights of the august upper classmen.

The valentine formal at the New Oaks, under the sponsorship of the junior class, was a highlight of 1953. It is the first winter formal at T.C., and its success is a strong indication that a similar event will be planned for next year.
