Wenonah Yearbook - 1954

WENONAH 1954

The Trojan Warrior of ages past rode a horse, wore armor, and sported a shield and lance. The Wenonah Warrior's weapons and goals are different, but the spirit is much the same. Now he uses a baseball bat, a paint brush, or a microscope, but the same fight and determination is there. With his books and pen in hand the Wenonah Warrior looks to the future. This book has attempted to catch some of that spirit within its pages.

Memorial Hall

A Warrior of bygone days would tell us, "I never had it so good!" The alumni coming back for Homecoming said, "We never had it so good!" The visiting citizens of Winona and the visiting teams said, "You never had it so good!"

And students on the campus, as they played on the expansive basketball floor, or sat in a class, or swam in the pool, or tumbled in the small gym, or just sat in the stands, all agreed that they've never had anything "so good" as the new Memorial Hall.

The physical education plant was dedicated during Homecoming and the inauguration of the large basketball court came in December with the Warriors beating Eau Claire. Moving-day for the physical education department followed Christmas vacation. However, the opportunities offered by Memorial Hall are not restricted to that department as its doors are open to all students of the campus and citizens of Winona and surrounding communities.

Activities Galore

First State Normal School was established at Winona on August 2, 1858. Later the name of the establishment was changed to Winona State Normal School, and, still later, it was changed to Winona State Teachers College.

Even though the name of the college has been so changed, its fundamental purposes and ideals have always been to bring men and women through a series of situations and contacts wherein he will better understand himself, his fellow men, his cultural heritage, his responsibility to the world, and will gain some insight and skill in the special abilities, skills, and problems involved in teaching.

The College is a member of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the American Council of Education, and is approved by the American Association of University Women.

Governed by the State Teachers College Board, the College is presided over by Dr. Neis Minne with Dr. M. R. Raymond serving as vice-president.

Administration

Because teacher-training is the very fundamental purpose of the school, a great number of its activities are centered around teaching. One of these activities is recruitment of individuals who have the ability and interest to go into the teaching field. With the increased enrollment now coming on the elementary-school level and later to secondary and college levels, there is and will continue to be a shortage of teachers. The teaching profession has become one of great importance in training tomorrow's citizens, and demands for teachers must be met.

Education for prospective teachers includes a program of self-realization and growth as well as a wealth of background and information. Teaching techniques and skills are taught through the observation-participation and supervisedteaching programs.

Curriculum changes are made to keep in step with the students and with the world. Changes in the needs of the students bring about changes in the type of work presented in the College as well as in the methods of presentation.

Registrar, Placement

Another service rendered by the college is the maintenance of a placement system whereby graduates are assisted in finding and selecting positions. This service also extends to a pregraduate level in that many of the students of the college are assisted in finding part-time employment.

Deans

Services rendered to the students of the college include adult counseling by the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, and under the personal adviser system. Under the latter, each student has a member of the faculty as personal adviser and can discuss problems, ideas, or criticisms which he may have about his personal life or about college life in general.

Rural Supervisors

Supervisors of rural teaching are employed to work with off-campus students in building up teaching skills, habits, and techniques. These are the supervisors of students who do offcampus student-teaching.

Registrar: H. Pritchard

Placement Director: G. E. Fishbaugher

Dean of Men: M. L. Mariner. Dean of Women: M. Steffenson.

Rural Education: M. Bartsch, L. Farner.

Physical Education

Democracy is being developed through the team play carried on in the Physical Education Department of the college. An alert, cooperative team member who is physically fit can not only achieve personal satisfaction, but may do his part in serving society as well.

Art

Both fine arts and industrial arts are carried on as creative experiences for the student and provide an outlet for self-expression for the student. In addition to creative work, practice in basic teaching skills for the prospective teacher are offered.

Music

The ability to appreciate music is one of the finest assets to a life of satisfaction. Training in musical theory and skills develop that ability within the student. Participation in instrumental and vocal groups help to promote this ability.

Business

For the student who is not planning to teach, the business department offers fine business training. The Bachelor of Arts degree may be attained as well as the Bachelor of Science degree for prospective teachers in the commercial field.

Men's Physical Education: L. A. McCown, L. Arns, E. N. Brodhagen.

Industrial and Fine Arts: F. Murray, S. Ledebuhr, H. Jackson. Inset: H. Capron. Music: W. Grimm, F. Heyer, A. Bard. English: H. Guthrie, A. Nelson, R. Behling, M. Boddy. Business Administration: W. Price, G. Finch.

Languages and Speech

Work in the department of languages may consist of work in English, Spanish, French, or the fundamentals of speech. In this department the basic fundamentals of composition, communication, and expression are presented.

Education and Psychology

Courses in psychology and in educational techniques, skills, and knowledges are conducted in the education department. Working with children in the laboratory school as well as general classwork gives the prospective teacher insight into the problems and rewards of teaching.

Science

The department of science consists of mathematics, biology, chemistry, geography, geology, and physics. It is the goal of this department to help the student to employ the scientific method of reasoning and to appreciate the abilities and contributions of science to mankind. In addition, many students specialize in a particular field in this work and go deep into the recesses of its knowledge.

Social Studies, Graduate Program

An awareness of our cultural heritage and of our present and future responsibilities is brought about through study in the social studies field. Study of ancient cultures, modern life, and possible future problems give the student the needed prospective on life.

Women's Physical Education: P. Roney, B. Grégoire, J. Talbot.

Library

Maxwell Library, too, plays an important part in college life. It offers an excellent collection of books and information and is organized to meet the needs of the students. A special children's library is conducted for students of the laboratory school and serves as an observation room for students training for teaching.

Health

Health plays an important part in the lifeof every individual. This is especially true in the case of teachers, and every possible effort is made to increase the services offered to the students by the health department.

Dormitory and Offices

Life at the dormitory is another big factor in college life. Effort is made to make the student feel at home in his college environment and dormitory life provides a good situation for this adjustment. In addition to the dormitory, the college offices are always ready to render any possible service to the student citizen. The college office is a vital part of a student's college life, and every student should make full use of them.

Librarians; E. Jacobsen, R. Payne. Dormitory Director and Nurse: F. Griffith, M. Miller. Business Manager and Secretary: W. Spetch, M. Kratz. Office Staff: B. Safranek, H. Muhle, A. de Groot. Seated: L. Conaughty, E. Donath.

Phelps Laboratory School

Phelps Laboratory School is the work-shop of students training for the teaching profession. It consists of a primary department, kindergarten through the third grade; an intermediate department, the fourth through the sixth grades; and a junior high school, grade seven through nine. In the field of fine arts, both music and art are ofered to the students of the school.

The pupose of the school is to provide a laboratory for directed teaching, observation, and, to some degree, experimentation. A varied and progressive program is conducted in the school in order to develop good ideals, standards, attitudes, and habits in the prospective teacher.

The school seeks to present a teaching situation as similar as possible to the one which the future-teacher will have in his work. Emphasis is placed upon using material-at-hand in the best possible manner rather than the use of materials which most classrooms do not possess.

Freshmen

Some two hundred shaking freshmen entered convocation in October to meet their fate—the rules and regulations for Freshmen Week. They didn't stop shaking, according to a frosh, until that week had passed and they needn't "fear" the upper classmen any longer.

After they became full-fledged freshmen, with

out beanies, they sponsored their first dance, the Sadie Hawkins Dance.

Lauren Groves was elected president; Jerry McGinnis and Donald Madson, vice-presidents; and Ann Clark, secretary-treasurer. Dr. Guthrie was adviser.

Orientation Team

The Orientation Team, headed by Captain Lois Mohr introduced to the incoming freshmen the activities of the college available to them. Every fall there are mixer-dances, picnics, and a freshmen breakfast given to acquaint the freshmen with one another and the upper classmen.

Representative Council

The Represenative Council was the student governing body which advised and was responsible for student activities. The purpose of this student organization was to guide the students welfare by recommendations, suggestions, and promotions of topics concerning the college. This group was made up of various class officers. Officers elected from the student body were: Jack Streed, president; Jon Sontag, vice-president; Lois Mohr, secretary; and Robert Ziebell, treasurer.

Football

A half-veteran, half frosh squad of football candidates reported to Maxwell Field last August as Coach Gene Brodhagen's Warriors started toughening up for the most successful football season in some years.

Losing some heartbreakers, they ended up 4 and 4 for the season, took a second berth in the Conference, and ran St. Mary's into the turf, regaining the City Football Championship.

Captained by line-plunging halfback Vic Grabau and All-Conference end Dick (Oz) Kowles, the Warriors opened the season on a balmy Monday night at Eau Claire. Fumbles, interceptions, penalties, and a great Bluegold fullback named Galuska spelled defeat for Winona, though they outdid the men from Wisconsin in everything but score.

At Stout Institute the following week, the State scoring machine began chalking up the points

they so narrowly missed at Eau Claire. Jerry Grebin took first Warrior blood as he vaulted into the Blue Devil end zone on a handoff from qb Rog Risser.

Grebin also set up the second Warrior tally as he snared a Stout pass. Risser's pass to Kowles two plays later told the second TD tale.

It was Vic Grabau's turn, as he ran back a Blue Devil punt near touchdown territory, and roared around left end three plays later to settle matters 19-0 for Winona's first victory.

At Mankato, the underdog Warriors did it again, romping all over some of the highest rated players in the league to scalp the Indians 14-0

in a first half ball game. Closing a downfield march, Risser spurted over from the three in the first quarter, and Jerry Grebin went 70 swift yards in the second, completely outrunning Manny Beckman of Mankato, erroneously rated the fastest man in the Conference.

Winona's best game of the season got off to a spectacular start when Bemidji halfback Chuck Brookmeier ran a deep opening kickoff to Winona's three yard line. A Beaver fumble ended the scoring threat and Jerry Grebin, the Preston flash, went sixty yards for the first State goal.

Tuney Burkard snagged a pass from Risser in the second period, lateraled it to Vic Grabau, who went half the length of the field to score. Back in touchdown territory in the third quarter.

Another Huskie bites the dust. Warrior plays peek-a-boo with camera as he brings down a St. Cloud back.

Gene Olson passed to Vern Mehl, who was hit and fumbled. Out of nowhere Merle Peterson came streaking to pounce on the loose ball, only to have it squirt from his grasp like a wet cake of soap and bobble into the end zone, where Kowles fell on it to close the contest 26-7 for the Warriors leading the league.

The "tough-one-to-lose" came in the north country, when injuries finally caught up with Winona, and a keyed up Moorhead eleven trounced the Warriors 19-0 to inaugerate a cloudy three weeks.

The one we'd like to forget happened the following weekend, as the fleet Falcons from River Falls, Wisconsin, scored at will on the hapless Warriors. A 95 yard run by Grabau and a quick opener by Leroy Anderson saved a shutout, but gave the Falcons an embarassing 45-13 edge.

With a Conference Crown at stake, the hustiing Huskies from St. Cloud shut out Homecoming festivities for the Warriors and clinched a solo grip on the championship 18-0. Spurred by AllConference backs Bob Borgert and Don Cash, the Huskies stopped a goal line stand by Winona which might have spelled the game, and relegated WSTC to a second berth in the Conference.

After three embarassing defeats, the Warriors had blood in their eyes as they met and mauled the Redmen from Terrace Heights 13-6 in the City Championship game, desipte a game fight by St. Mary's

Winona scored almost as soon as the game began, running the kickoff inside the Redmen 20. Jerry Grebin trotted over from the one. In the second period, Risser was back to pass, saw no receiver and darted around right end 24 yards to take Winona's final touchdown of 1953.

After the dust had cleared, All-Conference honors went to Dick Kowles, Arnie Boese and George Hansen (for the second year), as Vic Grabau received a berth on the second mythical All-League team, and Tuney Burkard and Jerry Grebin received honorable mention.

Basketball

The Warriors had a highly successful 1953-54 basketball season, finishing with a 14-10 record. In the conference the Warriors broke even, having a 4-4 record. They defeated every team in the conference, but also lost to every team. The Warriors were especially tough to beat on their home court, as theypiled up a 10-2 record. On the road, however, they were not as effective, compiling a 4-8 record.

The Warriors started the season slow, dropping their first two games. They suffered losses to Stout Institute of Menomenie, Wisconsin, and River Falls State College before annexing a double triumph over Eau Claire State College. River Falls ran up the highest point total to be scored against the Warriors all season as they poured 105 points through the nets.

Holding a 2-2 record, the Warriors moved to Forest City, Iowa for the Christmas Tournament. The local Peds dropped their first game 82-63 to Cornell College of Mount Vernon, Iowa, but won their second round encounter 41-40 over Buena Vista. Following the tournament the Warriors returned home to gain revenge over River Falls as they defeated the Falcons 81-77. The Peds next moved into conference action, and suffered the first loss of the season on their home court as they were downed by Moorhead 56-54 in a nip and tuck battle. Then the Warriors ran roughshod over Platteville, and gained revenge from Stout, as they defeated the Pioneers 81-71, and whipped the Blue Devils 78-68.

The Warriors moved back into conference action, and evened up the record at 1-1 when they defeated highly touted Mankato 65-58. It marked the first conference loss for the Indians. The Warriors then hit the road again, and suffered a 64-60 loss to Stevens Point College. In the next game the Warriors again fell behind in conference play as they suffered a heart breaking 81-79 defeat at the hands of St. Cloud. Platteville made it three straight losses as they powered over the Warriors 93-66 on the small Pioneer court.

The Warriors then left on the annual northern ¡aunt, and evened up the conference record in the first game of the trip when they defeated Moorhead 77-70. In this game guard Pete Polus tied the school record for points scored in a

single game as he hit for 39 points. The Warriors immediately fell behind again in conference action as they went down to defeat 80-59 to the Bemidji Beavers. This left them with a 2-3 record in the conference, and an overall season record of 8 - 8

Returning home from the north country, the Warriors met St. Mary's in the first game of the annual inter-city clash. The Redmen won the game 59-53, and moved into a position to take the city crown from the Warriors. The Warriors stayed on their home court, and started on a six game winning spree as they first gained revenge on Bemidji 67-59, handing them their first conference loss after five straight wins. Next on the list was Bethel College of St. Paul and the Warriors rang up another victory 70-61. The Warriors continued building up their conference record as they next added St. Cloud to the revenge column 73-69. The next team to go down under the new found Warrior power was LaCrosse State 87-71 as the Warriors ran up their highest scoring total of the season. The La Crosse game was a good primer, and the Warriors chalked up another victory when they defeated St. Mary's 54-49. Captain Dick Kowles led the way as he chalked up 20 points, and

The Warriors made it six straight as they whipped Bethel for the second time 82-79. The Warriors finished the season on a sour note, as they dropped their final game 71-46 to Mankato, who went on to win the playoff with Bemidji and annex the conference crown.

Pete Polus led Warrior scoring for the year with a 389 total, and an average of 16.9. Fred Hoeft was next in line with an average of 12,7, followed by Ron Richter with 11.8, and Dick Kowles with 9.2. The same four led the Warriors in their conference efforts with Polus having an average of 20, Hoeft 13.1, Richter 11.1, and Kowles 8.6.

Junior Varsity

Made up almost entirely of freshmen, the 1953-54 Warrior junior varsity basketball team won 13 games in a row before dropping the last game of the season to St. Mary's jayvee team.

The junior Warriors beat the St. Mary's and LaCrosse "B" squads once each and the Stout "B' squad twice, besides whipping several topnotch high school and independent teams. The

closest game of the year was a 52-50 double overtime victory over Leroy High School. Another highlight of the season was the Minneapolis Laker preliminary game during Christmas vacation.

Several boys moved to the varsity during the season, and all the boys gained valuable experience which should help them try to crack next year's squad.

Intramurals

The 1953-54 intramural basketball race closed with the Bird Brains coming out on top. The Bird Brains annexed both the first half and second half championships for the undisputed crown. The season, as usual, was full of excitement and entertainment. It was estimated that, counting the men on the varsity team, about 80 per cent of the male enrollment of the college took part in basketball of some kind during the past year.

Wrestling

For the first time in the history of Winona State Teachers College a wrestling team was organized. The team made a name for itself as it participated in two meets over the 1953-54 season. The first meet for the grapplers was the tough Carleton Tournament at Northfield, Minnesota. The team placed fifth in a field of ten.

Heavyweight Ken Habeck advanced to the finals by virtue of three straight wins. Bob Haskins chalked up two pins before going down to defeat in his third match. LaVerne Bundy and Gordon Selke also annexed victories before going down to defeat.

The Warriors have all participants returning next year, and prospects indeed look good. The State Conference is contemplating starting wrestiing as a regular inter-collegiate sport. It is neces

sary for at least three schools to have wrestling teams before this can happen, and already Winona, Mankato, Moorhead, and St, Cloud have teams. So it is entirely possible that Winona State fans will have something new to watch when next winter rolls around.

Golf

The T.C. golf team had a rather disappointing season last year, but prospects for the coming season looked very promising. Bright spots of the season were the opening match against St. Mary's which Winona won 7 to 5, and the vietory against LaCrosse T.C. Matches were dropped to St. Mary's, St. Cloud, Stout and Mankato.

Winona came in third in the state meet at Mankato and fourth in the bi-state meet at Westfield in Winona.

Tennis

Winona's tennis team, which finished fourth in both the Bi-State and the State meets in 1953, was composed of Dick Hinze, Jim Belden, Bill Kortsch, Bruce Walker, and Ron Welty, all freshmen. They also lost two meets to rival St. Mary's and one to Stout.

The Warriors successfully retained their crown as champions in both the Bi-state and State conference during the 1953 season. It marked the sixth straight year that the Winona team has copped the coveted honor.

The Winonans had a successful southern trip this year as they won four and lost none on the journey. The Warriors downed both Arkansas State Teachers and Union University of Jackson, Tennessee twice. In other scheduled games the Warriors ran into trouble with old man weather and were rained out. Following this trip the Warriors returned to face LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Here the Purple and White added another victory as they downed the Indians 5-4. In their first home engagement the Warriors defeated the Mankato Indians 6-5 behind the 4 hit pitching of AI Kulig. In the second game of the double header the Indians handed the Warriors their first loss 4-2. The Warriors then moved northward to St. Cloud and defeated the Huskies twice 4-1 and 7-0 in a double header. Kulig and George Vondrashek combined to twirl a two hitter in the second encounter.

The Warriors then returned home to battle the University of Minnesota and dropped their second game of the season 11-4. The Warriors recovered and ran roughshod over the Blue Devils from Stout as they defeated them twice 2-0 and 6-1 in a Gabrych Park double header. Andy Swota allowed Stout only 4 hits in the second game. The Warriors then journeyed to Cedar Falls and handed Iowa State Teachers a 4-3 defeat. Moving into Wisconsin, the Warriors defeated Eau Claire State twice with AI Kulig collecting a 9-1, 4 hit, victory in the first game and Andy Swota a 10-3, 5 hit, victory in the second. The Warriors continued their winning ways in downing LaCrosse State 9-2. The Purple and White were not to be denied in Wisconisn as they went on to beat River Falls 4-1 and 7-5 in a double bill.

These victories cinched the conference championship for the Warriors, and they had only one game remaining. The Warriors dropped their third game of the season to St. Mary's, M.I.A.C. Champions, in the annual intra-city clash. This left the Warriors with a 15-3 record for the season.

The season marked the end of great college careers for two of the finest pitchers in Winona State history. Andy Swota ended up with a 4-0 record for the season and 11-3 for four years. AI Kulig had a 7-1 record for the season and a 22-6 record over four years. Swota had 142 strike-outs and Kulig 223.

Track

Winona's cindermen had a very successful conference season, finishing second to the powerful Mankato Indians in both the Bi-State and State meets, held in Mankato and St. Cloud respectively.

Big point-getters were Mullens in the dashes, Woychik and Reed in the distance runs, Hage-

dorn in the hurdles, Kreuger in the discus, and Knopp in the pole vault.

Besides participating in several invitational meets, the tracksters split even in two dual meets with Wisconsin schools bowing to LaCrosse and whipping Eau Claire.

"A girl for every sport and a sport for every girl" is the motto upon which the activities of the Women's Athletic Association are directed. W.A.A.'s outdoor activities included soccer, speedball, and softball. Principal indoor activities were volleyball and basketball. Supplementing the team sport program were individual and dual activities such as badminton, table tennis, and swimming. All activities were guided by a board consisting of five sports' leaders and the association officers and advisers.

Rounding out the schedule were the parade, the football game with St. Cloud, many dinners and mixers, and the Homecoming formal—all helping to make the busiest, if not the best Homecoming in the history of the college.
