COLLEGE WOMEN'S CLUB SPONSORS RECITAL, "HISTORY OF AM'N. SONG"

STEPHEN SOMSEN WILLS $10,000 FOR NEEDY STUDENT RELIEF FUND

WERRANRATH'S LECTURE WAS HEARD ON JAN. 27

Possibly the most unusual fea-ture of Reinald Werrenrath's lec-ture-recital, THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN SONG which he gave here on Wednesday, Janu-ary 27., is that in it this ever popular baritone illustrated h i s remarks c6ncerning American mu-sical history with examples of each period, singing almost as many songs during the evening as he would give on a straight recital program.

Tracing its history from earliest Negro and Indian folk songs, through the first Colonial settlers to the music of today, Mr. Werren-rath makes "American Song" a romantic story, much of which is yet to be told. At the same time, he does not neglect the influence of the popular song which he feels to be one of America's very characteristic musical expressions.

Lecturers on musical topics have been numerous; but for illustra-tions of various periods and com-posers, especially in songs, they have been accustomed to employ additional talent. And while Am-erican singers have ranked among the world's finest, few, if any, have consistently indulged in speaking from the platform. So in Mr. Werrenrath's lecture-recital we find a refreshing novelty, a search-ing, authoritative, often humorous appraisal of American songs and song-writers, illustrated by one of the greatest living American sing-ers. And both jobs done by the same man!

Dr. Lynch Talks For High School Club

On Wednesday evening, Janu-ary 20, the High School Club had their regular meeting. The speak-er for the evening was Dr. Lynch who talked on teaching dramatics and speech in the high schools. The value of her talk lay in the fact that she said nothing that those listening could not take with them and apply when the occasion de-manded. She gave the club hints on making flats for high school productions, what kind of plays to put on and how to pick your plays. In declamatory work, Dr. Lynch does not like the divisions existing at the present time and suggested improvements that might be made. She also gave her listen-ers good suggestions as to the method of securing good declama-tions.

To conclude this very interest-ing meeting Miss Isabel Johnson played "Clare De Lune" by De-bussy.

Twelve Initiated Into Kappa Delta

Gamma Tau Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi initiated twelve new members last Monday evening in an impressive initiation ceremony in the club room.

The new members are : Eveleyn Albers, Lake City ; Margaret Ber-ven, Dexter ; Adelaide Gunderson, Montevideo; Ethel Kruetz, Wino-na; Isabel Johnson, Weaver; Rob-ert Kellar, Josephine Kjelland, St. Paul ; Genevieve Nerdahl, Wi-nona; Delbert Roche, Harmony ; Raymond Wolfe, Faribault; Mrs. Marguerite Rideout, Winona.

The initiation was followed by a banquet at the Garden Gate; from there the club adjourned to college hall to listen to a speech by Dr. A. B. Caldwell, newly ap-pointed head of the Minnesota De-partment of Education.

Members of Kappa Delta Pi are chosen because of high scholastic standing and worthy personality traits. Active participation in school activities is a further re-quisite for eligibility.

AluMni of the chapter and fa-culty members were present as guests of the club.

The family traditions of Reinald Werrenrath made it inevitable that he should from his earliest years be interested in American music. It was at the house of his grand-father, Henry Camp, famous bass and choirmaster under Henry Ward Beecher at Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, that many prominent American musicians and composers met in the 1860's, 70's and 80's. Through the hospitable doors of the Camp home came such figures as Theodore Thomas, Dud-ley Buck, J. Remington Fairlamb, and other musical notables.of those days. To that group was added George Werrenrath, a young Dan-ish tenor already famous in Europe, who shortly married one of Henry Camp's daughters, and later became an outstanding per-sonality in the musical life of America. Success crowned the young singer's efforts, and a long and honorable career in concert and opera won him a host of friends among the American musi-cians of the day.

A close friend of Mr. Werren-rath's boyhood and college days was Deems Taylor. Years before Mr. Taylor achieved his present enviable position in the musical world, Mr. Werrenrath was the first to sing his songs, and was instrumental in bringing his earli-est compositions to the attention

"Swing Inn" Title of Die-No-Mo Show

What happens when a coed de-cides to invest her golden future in matrimonial bonds, negotiates with an aunt who thinks that love is a liability and that there's no percentage in heart-interest, and has to prove that she's capable of managing home economics before entering into partnership with the principal stockholder in her affec-tions?

"She thinks I'd be a drag on a rising young surgeon, because I've had no experience in living on a limited amount of money. That looks like a dare to me." And so saying, Penny Brooks leaps blithe-ly into the soup. And when her would-be husband gets a feverish look and howls, "I've got it," this time it isn't the flu—it's the brain-storm that results in Swing Inn.

"Swing Inn' traces the course of civil war in the Brooks family, when Penelope Brooks (June Mac-Donald) issues an ultimatum, and launches a campaign to prove her-self capable of commanding her own destiny and that of Bob Schaeffer (Everett Edstrom). Al-lied with the rebels are Anne Winthrop (Lois Jensen) , Margy Evans (Mary Van Campen), and Skipper (Roger Busdicker). And when these aides-de-camp to Gen-eral Cupid muster their resources and map out a line of attack to make the world safe for romance, things happen.

Although the individual num-bers of the big floorshow in the second act are being kept a secret as far as posible, it's safe to say that the Hal Leonard orchestra will be recognized under guise of Bob Sehaeffer's Swing Band; that three proficient pianists are also three sweet songsters ; that Mary Van has a variety of solo and chorus dances up her sleeve ; and that the aforementioned are just a beginning.

During rehearsals, director Gretchen Grimm gets results as she handles her cast with all the vigor of a section boss. Among the directions overheard a r e: "Mary, snore like a lady !" and "Everett, that's the wrong girl—it's June you're engaged to."

For the next three weeks the play's the thing to Die-No-Mo members. Dorothy Westfall acts as playwright and prompter ; Elaine Wildgrube is mobilizing the club into an efficient sales corp.; Publicity director Vic Gislason is making the public "Swing Inn" conscious ; Fred Nelson has two sets of Scenery to wheedle into place ; Adelaide Gunderson is plan-ning costumes for the second act; Verner Sumi glows with lighting effects; and Genevieve Edstrom will act as chairman of the House Committee.

War Experiences Told In Chapel

"It is impossible for the Spanish to win the war, whichever side seemingly wins," said Sara Sill Goyanes speaking in assembly Monday, January 18. " The Eu-ropeans are fighting the war in Spain," continued Mrs. Goyanes. She explained that there were hun-dreds of Germans and Italians who were in Spain taking part in the war.

"Rebels do not call themselves Reds or Rebels," said Mrs. Goy-anes. " They call themselves Na-tionalists and the other side Loy-alists. Our house-boy was what is called 'rosy'," related the speaker. " The term 'rosy' is applied to anyone who is not a Red, but who has attended meetings of Com-munists and has had sown the seeds of their doctrine."

Airs. Goyanes thrilling experi-ences in the war are first hand. She lived for four and one-half month's with the sound of guns in her ears. The mountain village near which she lived was bombed many times. Here, the emergency hospital which her husband and father-in-law maintained was bomb-ed although it flew a white flag. It was here also that she and her young son very narrowly escaped being killed by bombs.

Mrs. Goyanes is a graduate of this college.

So They Say How Did You Spend Your

Vacation? URSULA COSTELLO (Wea-

ver) : "Do you mean Christmas vacation ? Oh, nothing much. Say, is this for the paper? Don't you dare."

FRED GISLASON (Mpls.) : "I went to three dances and seven or eight shows. Sure, I had a good time. Say what is this? Sure I was glad to get back."

BARBARA RONSBERG (Ma-bel) : " Oh, I slept, flitted around a little here and there, you know—would have said something good if I'd known it was for the paper."

"DUBY" FRANKSON (Spring Valley) : "I worked continually. Yeah, it was 0. K. to get back—like getting into the harness again after being in the pasture."

RALPH SPENCER (Mpls.) : "Nothing much—won't say a word —oh, for the paper, that's differ-ent ; now I'll talk."

SYLVIA WEGNER (Owaton-na) : "Aren't you a little behind time? Oh, sure I missed him, but we wrote letters you know."

FORMER BOARD DIRECTOR NAMES COLLEGE IN WILL

The late Stephen A. Somsen, former resident director of this college, has given $10,000 for the benefit of the Minnesota State Teachers Colleges and their stu-dents. The fund is to be invested, with one-half of the income paid annually to the Winona State Teachers College and one-tenth each to Mankato, St. Cloud, Du-luth, Moorhead, and Bemidji. This will be used to aid worthy and needy students of the colleges, the individuals and amounts being de-termined by the Presidents of the Colleges. The trust will continue until the death of the last teacher or instructor employed by the Wi-nona State Teachers College at the time of Mr. Somsen's death, De-cember 15, 1936.

Mr. Somsen was a member of the State Teachers College Board for nearly twenty-five years. He resigned in 1933 and was succeed-ded by Frank A. Sheehan. Dur-ing Mr. Somsen's tenure a new institution was established at Bem-idji, 4 of the 6 incumbent Presi-dents chosen, and 30 buildings erected. Included in these were all of the Winona buildings except the library, which was under con-struction at the time of his ap-pointment.

Dr. A. J. Chesley Addresses Chapel

Dr. A. J. Chesley, a member of the State Board of Health, spoke in chapel on Monday, January 11, on the health provisions of the Social Securities Act. He enum-erated the items of the bill, and pointed out the health aspect of each one. He discussed the work which is being done as a result of the passage of this act and the improvements promoted by the act. In mentioning these facts he said that the city of Winona ranks as one of the highest in health con-ditions in the state, and that Wi-nona is especially outstanding for the quality of its milk and for its low mortality rate.

"El 1)03-ado' Note: All of Stevenson's writing, whatever its

type, has the charm of his courageous spirit. To him life was a dangerous but a thrilling adventure to be met with fortitude. The excerpts used here from " Virginibus Purisque" set forth the ideals toward which he himself ever strove.

"It seems as if a great deal were attainable in a NNArld where there are SO many marriages and decisive battles, and where we all at certain hours of the day and with great gusto and dispatch stow a portion of victuals finally and irretrievably into the bag that contains us. And it would seem also, on a' hasty view that the attainment of as much as possible was the one goal of man's contentious life. And yet, as regards the spirit this is but a sem-blance. There is always a new horizon for onward looking men, and although we dwell on a small planet we are so constituted that our hopes are inaccessible, like stars, and the term of hoping is prolonged until the term of life.-

` To be truly happy is a question of how we begin and not of how we end, of what we want and not of what we have. An aspiration is a joy forever, a possession as solid as a landed estate, a fortune which we can never exhaust and which gives us year by year a revenue of pleasurable activity.—

"Happily we all shoot at the moon with inef-fectual arrows; our hopes are set on inaccessible El Dorado, we come to an end of nothing here be-low. Interests are only plucked up to sow them-selves again, like mustard. Problem gives reise to problem. We may study forever, and we are never as learned as we would. We have never made a statue worthy of our dreams. And when we have discovered a continent only to find another ocean or another plain upon the further side.—

``A strange picture we make on our way to our Chimaeras, ceaselessly marching, grudging ourselves the time for rest; indefatigable, adventurous pion-eers. It is true that we shall never reach the goal; it is even more than probable that there is no such place; and if we lived for centuries and were en-dowed with the powers of a god, we should find ourselves not much nearer what we wanted in the end. Soon, soon, it seems to you, you must come. forth on some conspicuous hilltop, and but a little way further against the setting sun descry the spires of El Dorado. Little do you know your own blessedness; for to travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labor."

Music Notes

Are there two schools of musi-cians ? Do adherents to one group play from "their souls"? If there was any doubt about the "soul" group's existence, it was erased at the St. iVlary 's game there when Paul Storti magically produced from beneath the folds of his over-coat, his trumpet and led the cheer-ing sections to lead the team to victory I

But the other school is holding its own also. The "notists" were undoubtedly charmed with the New York Philharmonic Sym-phony's program Sunday after-noon. Jan Stravinsky, who is numbered with Sibelius, Ravel and Richard Strauss as one of the out-standing living composers, was not only guest conductor of the whole performance, but was composer of several of the selections played. One of particular sprightliness and grace was the piano concerto "Ca-price" played with the orchestra. A young Mr. Weber from Phila-delphia executed the piano con-certo notably. And if you like annotations with your concerts, you'll be fascinated with the in-formality and spontaneity . with which Deems Taylor—famous com-poser and arranger—enlightens the symphony listeners.

Do you like to have the organ rolls played in chapel'? Don't you really think it's good for one to be exposed to good music occasion-ally whether he prefers to under-stand it or not? Probably those in charge would like to hear your opinion—favorable, good or un-favorable and why.

Whether you disapprove or ap-prove of the present administra-tions' policies, you probably are aware that an attempt has been made to aid the jobless in "white collars" as well as in coveralls. Dr. Nikolai Sokoloff, director of the Federal Music Project of the Works ProgressAdministration, has received 3,000 American composi-tions. Of these 146 were of ultra-serious character, 37 symphonies, and 43 symphonic and tone poems; and 1,351 have been performed in public by W. P. A. units. "Dr. Sokoloff concedes that no great numbers of these works have last-ing merit, but.that does not neces-sarily devalue the work. It has always been true of much in music and in literature, even of some that has emanated from those of great name." This is not a commentary to sway readers politically, but hasn't the money spent here done more good for those immediately concerned and the rest of us than it would have had it been spent in erecting battleships?

D'YA WANTA READ?

– Reading inaketh a full man," says Francis Bacon in his essay Of Studies. And in order that the students of the Winona State Teachers College may have an opportunity to read and to keep up on the current books of the year, the school library has received many new books since school started.

One of the most outstanding groups of books comes from the Carnegie Peace Foundation and is secured by • the library through the International icelations Club of the school. Propaganda and Dic-tatorship edited by Harwood Child is a collection of papers by men from several Universities. This 000ii deals with dictatorships in Germany, Italy, ii,ussia and other European countries. Another in-wresting book in this section is entitled On the Rim of the Abyss by James T. Shotwell which traces the development of neutrality and nationalism. One of tile most important books of the year in the economic held., namely, Rich Land, Poor Land by otuart Chase is also in the library.

A different type of book is to be found in Gone 'I ilk the Wind by Mitchell. Good Manners for I (Wig VV. omen by Barker is the intriguing title of a book on etiquette. Two outstanding books on bio-graphy are these : Green Laurels by Peatty which is a collective biography of many scientists and The Living J efferson by James Truslow Adams. A modern touch is given to the later biography men-tioned, for, the title of the last chapter is "Jeffer-son Today." Another outstanding book is Rothery's Finlu,nd, the New Nation. The Flowering of New England 1815-65 by Van Wyck Brooks gives many interesting sidelights on the lives of such men as Thoreau and Longfellow. These mentioned are but a few of the new books which keep the material in the school library current and up-to-date.

I BETWEEN YOU N' ME From Doctor Selle's Labor Economics class—con-

tributed by Harriet linage. The reason for this is because most of the negroes were colored people.

From Iii. Own's Psychology 310 class. After some discussion of the proper time to tell adopted children that they are adopted Mr. Owens suggested it might best be done during a period free from worry and when the child was in a happy mood. Just think what a sigh of relief they would breathe. Now that the St. Mary's 'basketball team is back in shape with Ziegenfuss and McGuire both back in the line up there is some talk that they could beat us. Take it easy boys! Don't lead with your chins!

From the Intramural basketball court we gather the information that Eddie Cohen is conceded the ability to run faster and longer in one place than any man on the floor.

Ev Edstrom was heard to remark the other night after the Bemidji game, "I've waited a long time for this and at last we've got a winning team."

And have you noticed how the school spirit has picked up ? Used to be that Mary Van had to work to get us to yell. Now we yell without any urging.

We've always been known as a school with one of the best brands of sportsmanship but it sure is lots easier to be a good sport when you're on the long end of the score.

It's too bad Spencer hadn't been sitting on the bench for four long years waiting to do or die for dear old W. S. T. C. the night of the Bemidji game it would have made a better story-book ending. Dor-othy Westfall tells this one. The boy had been out for four long years, it was the last game, the last minute and the hero's team was one point behind. The coach leaned over and said, "Stand up. I want to send in the bench."

Including games of January 16, the Red Birds and Jeeps continue to occupy first place in a tie in the Men's intramural Basketball League. Both teams captained by Fred Gislason and Stuart Farmer respectively, have won three games without tasting defeat.

The games on January 16th were fought with a great deal of gusto, and at times varsity style of ball was exhibited but then again the recovered fumbled play was preva-lent. The Jeeps topped the In-dians 21-20 in a well-earned vic-tory ; while the Red Birds found less trouble in defeating the po-tential Colonels 17-10. Meanwhile the Millers took a thrilling over-time game from the Mud Hens by the close score of 17-13 with Bob Thurley "swishing" a basket iu from far out on the court to bring "sudden death" to John Quaday's boys. The Brewers entered the winning column by handing the Saints a 24-16 defeat.

On January 9th the Millers edged out a victory over the Brew-ers 22-21; the Red Birds humbled the Mud Hens 20-12 ; the Colonels went down in defeat before the Jeeps by a 27-24 count; and the Indians swamped the Saints 22-8.

Warriors Defeat Waldorf, Stout

The Purple and White cagers scored two non-conference wins last week against Waldorf-Luther and Stout Institute. The Forest City, Ia. team was defeated Jan. 20 at College Gym by a 37-26 score. The defeat snapped the invaders winning streak at four straight.

On Jan. 23 the Warriors traveled to Menominee where they easily topped the Stout Blue Devils 43-28. A big 30-11 lead at the half en-abled T. C. to coast to an easy win. Lyle Arns as usual led the scoring while the whole squad played well according to Coach Gilligan.

Johny Wachs, injured at Man-kato, missed both games but will be ready Jan. 29th for the return game with the Katoans.

T. C. Five Wins From Bemidji

A Frank Merriwell finish, with Ralph Spencer cast . in the title role, pulled a conference victory out of the fire at the expense of the visiting Bemidji quint, Janu-ary 9. Spencer's last minute shot from mid-floor was in the air as the final gun sounded—it swished through the hoop and the Purple had won a 35-34 victory.

It was an uphill fight all the way for Winona after they found themselves trailing 10-0 in the first six minutes. Everything the in-vaders threw at the basket went through in those first few minutes and it was not until late in the third quarter that the Warriors managed to draw even with them. Arns and Spencer were chiefly re-sponsible for a second period rally which cut Bemidji's lead to 21-17 at the half. Continuing their scoring spurt in the third quarter, Winona led 28-27 as the hectic final stanza started. The lead see-sawed back and forth .until Capt. Nelson of Bemidji put his team ahead 34-33, with one of his one, handed shots. With but seconds to go and defeat apparently cer-tain Spencer fired away from mid-floor and the game was won.

Arns and Spencer were the high scorers for Winona with 10 and 8 points respectively. For the losers, Witham scored 12 and Nel-son 8. Both these players were dangerous throughout the game with their one-handed push shots which clicked very often.

Gagers Cop City Title

An invasion of Terrace Heights, home of the Redmen, was success-ful as the T. C. cagers repeated an earlier win January 12 to gain the city championship for the first time in the last three years. The Warriors put on their best exhi-bition of the season as they never were threatened in their decisive 38-27 victory. The margin was greater than T. C. had been able to pile up on their home floor. A smooth and accurate-shooting of-fense and a tight and cool defense were combined to make the win much easier than was expected.

Ziegenfuss' free throw gave St. Mary's its only lead and this was short-lived as the Purple worked in carefully and shot accurately to lead 9-2 at the quarter. Wachs, Arns, Parker, and Spencer scored the goals in this period. Arns, Ostmoe, and Wachs did all the Wi-nona scoring in the second period and the T. C. cagers increased their lead to 22-11 at the half. The Red-men made their only serious threat in the next period as Vaichus led the drive with three baskets. The rally fell show however and the closest the losers came was 24-20. Arns countered with three goals in the final session to keep the Warriors safely in front.

Arns and Vaichus did the bulk of the scoring for their teams. The Purple forward copped the high scoring honors with seven baskets and a free throw for 15 points, while his rival was close behind with 13 on five field goals and three free throws. Berger Ostmoe entered the game in the second quarter and aided the T. C. offense with 9 points.

St. Mary's Five Beaten on Jan. 5

The Purple and White cagers %Vali the first of the city champion-ship series J armory 5 as they de-feated St. Mary's 34-29 in the col-lege gymnasium. The win was the first scored by T. C. in the three years of their renewed basketball rivalry. Although the game was rough and at times ragged the score was always close enough to keep the interest of the 400 fans at fever pitch.

Winona led the visitors through-out the game but the margin was uncomfortably close at times. An early lead of 9-1 was cut to 11-6 at the first quarter. Scully, Hayes, and Vaickus of the visitors com-bined to reduce the Warriors lead to a slim 15-14 at the half. John Wachs went on a one-man scor-ing spree in the last half to keep T. C. safely in front the rest of the way. All of Wach's five goals were scored in the final two periods.

Nibs Scully as usual paced the Redmen in scoring with 13 points. He and Vaickus, a freshman guard, scored all but 5 of the visitors points. For the Purple Wachs and Arias were outstanding in a scor-ing way with 11 and 8 points re-spectively. Four players Bonino nd Vaickus of the Redmen, and

throughout the entire game the Winona Warriors chalked up their sixth straight win by a 39-29 score. Captain Wachs, Spencer, and high scorer Arns played in their usual stellar manner to lead the team to victory.

Special credit should be given to Art Andrejek, a freshman star formerly from Ivanhoe who has been showing up quite well lately. Andrejek is a speedy player work-ing in well as a guard with the veterans.

Because of illness, Vic Gislason did not make the trip to Mankato. Being a veteran of four years, his services were missed.

Berger Ostmoe, a former Co-lumbia Heights star, played at center but later was worked in at forward to relieve Wachs.

Grudem, Kaczrowski and Lau-don also saw some service during the game.

Capt. John Wachs was injured during the closing minutes of the game as a result of a foul by a Mankato man. Johnnie had inter-cepted a pass and while dribbling toward the basket had been fouled from behind. We are all looking forward to his recovery.

Winona's victory over the Man-kato Peds put Winona in the lime-light as a possible contender for Conference honors. A dark horse? Yes—; and a threatening con-tender for the title.

Annual Work I s Progressing

The 1937 annual, by now well on its way, gives promise of be-ing a better yearbook than any of its predecessors. One of the out-standing points about this Weno-nah will be its easy informality. Everything about it, the opening section, the pictures, the "write-ups," and the features, will com-bine to give an annual that will be pleasing because of its carefree way of presenting things, and en-during because of the respect in which high ideals and fine tradi-. tions will be held. It is the aim of the editors that the 1937 Wenonah be an accurate picture of the life in our college. Toward this end all of the powers of the Annual Staff have been directed, and it is the firm belief of that staff that the 1937 Wenonah will be a yearbook to feel proud of now and through the years to come.

With The Clubs

MENDELSSOHN CLUB Now that the Christmas season

with its many songs is a thing of the past, the girls in the club are preparing for their annual con-cert season which comes sometime in May. Among the songs which the club is practicing for this even are some very lovely numbers.

NEWMAN CLUB

Despite the fact that we have more than enough snow for a sleigh ride party, members of the Newman Club decided to postpone the ride for which they have been waiting so long. The real reason, of course, is that in addition to enough snow there was too much cold, so the ride will be enjoyed when the temperature rises—pro-vided we still have the snow. Mem-bers of the club seem to have quite a time trying to find ideal con-ditions.

W. A. A.

To bring together those girls who participated in fall sports—soccer, tennis, golf, swinaming—and those who are now out to play basket-ball this season, the W. A. A. board under the leadership of Miss Pendergast and Miss Talbot, is sponsoring "a peanut hunt, taffy pull, and popcorn pop" for Fri-day night, January 22. Games like volley ball, deck tennis, badminton, will be played during the evening. About fifty girls are eligible for the party.

Y. M. C. A.

A meeting of the Y. W. C. A. was held in the Club room on Thursday, January 14th. Miss Harmacek, Secretary of the City Y. W. C. A. spoke on the Y. W. C. A. organizations in other lands. She stated that in England the organization is under the govern-ment, and the Queen is honorary president. All countries use the same fundamental objectives —namely, training of the mind, body, and soul. Various problems which exist in the various coun-tries were also discussed. A sleigh ride party to be combined with the valentine idea was planned to take place in February.

KINDERGARTEN CLUB

The Kindergarten Club held its annual Christmas Sing Decem-ber 15. Time was spent in mak-ing Christmas gifts for the kin-dergarten children. Miss Schwa-ble read a Christmas story and carols were sung by candlelight. Refreshments were served.

"Old Man Flu" Hits Faculty

Illness caused the absence of a number of the instructors.

Mr. Galligan resumed his activ-ities after being ill with bronchial flu contracted during the vacation. Ho was unable to conduct his classes for ten days. Mr. Pawelek coached the boys basketball games in the meantime. However, Mr. Galligan returned in fine spirit to take the team to Mankato.

"It was a long old week," said Mr. Jackson, who had influenza. He hoped to coach the reserve bas-ketball game, January 20th.

Miss Scovell and Miss Gage of the training school were also ill. Miss Gage had a bad cold; Miss Scovell who had influenza remark-ed, " Oh, I was just ill, and am glad to get back."

The music organizations are glad to see Mr. Grimm who was ill with influenza for four days.

When asked about her illness, Miss Jeffrey answered. "Is this a joke?" Miss Jeffrey had a severe cold.

Wenonah Players Present Play

"Suppressed Desires," a very cleverly written two-act play by Susan Glaspell, was presented with a cleverness equal only to that of the author, before the assembly on Friday, January 8th. Henrietta Brewster played by Dr. Lynch (pinch-hitting for a flu victim) was a good example of what a Psycho-analyst can do to a sus-ceptible woman. Eveiy move-ment of her husband Stephen (Walter Lynne) was some sign to her and only when her sister Ma-bel (Josephine Kjelland) came to visit her did Stephen get any peace of mind. Only after Henrietta had driven both of them to her doc-tor to be psycho-analyzed, did she realize the folly of it all. The doc-tor had advised Stephen to leave Henrietta and Mabel to leave her husband because Stephen and Ma-bel had suppressed desires for each other !!

Dr. Anton P. Fried is a success-ful physician living now in New-tonville, Massachusetts. His of-fices in Boston are at 510 Com-monwealth Avenue.

WE1\TONAH PLAYERS

The Wenonah Players held a Theatre party Tuesday evening, January 19. Thirty five of them attended the State theatre to-gether, to see the showing of "Romeo and Juliet."

Shall We Discuss? As I sit here reminiscing, I pick

up my Diary and read—"Friday, January 15, 1937. Dr. Murphy makes greatest suggestion of all time to Chapel-goers. 'Let us dis-cuss current issues in chapel'."

Nearly everyone knows what movies are in town; what team is winning in the varsity sports; and the general gossip ; but who among us can name our state rep-resentative at Washington, who can name the cabinet members or the vice-president?

How can we pretend that we are up and coming teachers when we leave college if we do not know how many members there are in the Supreme Court?

A teacher should know more than what is commonly taught in a technics class.

Some of us take Political Science and appear well read for one quar-ter, but do we continue to read? Either we must make Political Science a four year requirement for graduation or else have chapel discussion. There are those who will think it a waste of time to give the students a chance to express their opinions but I am sure Dr. Maxwell is 100V0 behind any such plan as is suggested.

A Civil war is being fought right now. How many can tell where? Yet we may be drawn into an in-ternational or world war through it. Suppose you and I are chosen to have our brains scattered over "No Man's Land," as were our brothers and fathers back in 1916-18 ? Can we avert another such war ? Let us study the situa-tion and "oust" war through edu-cation. One mark of a gentleman is his tolerance for others opinions.

Let us be gentlemen! We will stop ! Read ! Reflect!

Come to chapel, Discuss ! Go forth into the world willing to arbitrate.

Let the savages fight! —Frank Haney.

(Continued from Page 1) of the publishers. • Mr. Werren-rath counts among his friends and associates Victor Herbert, Walter Damrosch, Oley Speaks, Charles Wakefield Cadman, and many other outstanding personalities in the world of music. Few singers have made more friends among American composers, or done more to champion the cause of American music. Certainly no other Ameri-can singer has had more songs dedicated to him by grateful com-posers.

With such a background it is no wonder that Reinald Werren-rath, son and grandson of singers, finds himself steeped in the finest musical traditions, and is able to bring to his audiences the best in "American Song."

which our music will be the result of manipulating certain machines which will scientifically produce the correct tones, pitch timbre and volume? (Won't it be like taking pills to get the chemical properties needed to make a meal?) That a famous harmonica player used sev-eral harmonicas, but a frankfurter sandwich—so along with six mea slues of "Tannhauser" the au-dience got two measures of "Get Along, Little Doggie, Get Along"?

ties are played. One such recrea-tional hour was held last Wednes-day which proved very successful. Wednesday, January 27, along with the other activities, will be a game of badminton played by the faculty men. Mr. Galligan, Mr. Pawelek, Dr. Raymond, and Mr. Jackson. It will be explained to the spectators as it is played. We hope the turnout continues to increase with every hour.

The physical education majors and minors have recently been tak-ing swimming lessons at the Y. W. C. A. on Thursday evenings after supper liour. It has proved both beneficial and entertaining. Mar-garet Buehler claims she can do her scissors kick at least half way now (could she mean all the way with one leg?) Another one of our swimmers came in eleven min-utes late last time with the alibi that she saved one minute for each block further that she walked than the other girls. Then, of course, there's Margaret Berven — you should see her stay under water!
