We, the Winonan Staff for 1927-28, wish to extend our most hearty appre-ciation to the retiring Staff for the aid and experience which they gave us on the last issue of the Winonan. We also hope that the student body will continue to cooperate with us in the same manner in which they have cooperated with the former staff.

State College Board Met At St. Paul

The State College Board, at its quarterly session in St. Paul on March fifteen, voted to raise the cash tuition, to be charged in the teachers colleges, from thirty dollars per year to sixty dollars. Students, who declare their inten-tion to teach for two years in the public schools of the state, are given free tuition. Where a student who has made such pledge but is unable to complete the period of teaching, he is obligated to redeem his pledge by paying cash at the rate named. The new figures take effect next September.

The second action by the Board was an amend-ment to the former rule governing the eighteen required subjects which all students have been required to pursue in fulfillment of the require-ments for graduation. Hereafter, an exception is to be made in the case of the three special curriculums of industrial arts, music, and phy-sical education. Here the required work in general fields is reduced from eighteen subjects to sixteen. The former required work, which may now be omitted, is penmanship, English elective, and two quarter hours of teaching. This new rule permits somewhat more speciali-zation in each of the three fields, and enables the student to meet the requirements for the special certificate in the field chosen. This new rule takes effect for students beginning in September.

MR. REED ADDRESSES THE STUDENT BODY

With the advent of the new life of today which comes as a consequence of inventions and the World War, good literature has not been given the consideration and attention due it. Mr. Reed addressed the student body on this subject, Friday morning, March thirteen. As a specific example of the beauty and enjoyment we are slighting, p.e sketched the plot of Hugh Walpole's HarmeOh John, and recommended the book to the audience.

Hugh Walpole, in this novel, attempts to show how a simple, direct, Christ-like apostle of beauty, love, and service would fare today, if he appeared in the midst of a supposedly real Christian neighborhood. He does this by telling the story of a young Danish gymnasium in-structor, who, believing in the goodness of people and the cult of beauty, came to the Evangelist Cathedral town of Polchester, be-cause it was his mother's birthplace. The story is a masterpiece of rustic beauty, culture and goodness of heart.

There is no doubt but that Mr. Reed's most interesting address has instilled in all a desire to partake in the enjoyments and benefits of better literature.

MISS RICHARDS ATTENDS MEETING OF DEANS OF WOMEN

In February, Miss Florence Richards, Dean of Women of Winona State Teachers College, at-tended the meeting at Dallas, Texas, of the National Association of Deans of Women. In chapel, Miss Richards gave a report of the four day session of the Association and of her trip to and from the South. Some very interesting and helpful features were set forth in the report, as follows:

"Miss Elsie Smithies, Dean of Girls at the University High School at Chicago, became so interested in the cause of so much failure at college in the freshman year, that she made an investigation and reported her findings in one of the finest papers of the convention, entitled `The Girl About to Enter College.' This she read before the University and College section. She first selected a number of representative educational institutions, including Wellesley, Smith, University of Wisconsin, University of Chicago, Northwestern University, Beloit, and asked fifteen students from each, (all of whom had passed their work), to answer a question-aire. She received two hundred replies to her seven questions.

"Question I. Do you feel there is a gap be-tween high school and college?

"Every one replied in the affirmative. The majority replied that one big difference was the great quantity of work (especially outside read-ing) required at college at the seeming expense of quality. It was difficult to report on so much material and remain honest they said. Another difference was that the college laid a much greater stress on personal responsibility. So much social life was also confusing. Several spoke of it as 'this maelstrom of social life.' Others were confused by the rushing of sorrori-ties by the constant living with crowds of stu-dents — never being alone — and by the de-mands on the part of other students for imme-diate deep friendships. 'Shall we rush into friendships,' they asked, 'or stand aloof?' They also noted a great difference in their treatment by their instructors. At college no sympathy was shown. The faculty was not interested in the development of a student nor cared whether a student learned or not. 'Learn or get out.' `Get my point of view or a D,' seemed their attitude. Moreover the students at college

Track Starts at T. C. With Sixteen Men Out

Sixteen men answered Coach Habermann's call for track material on Tuesday, March fifteenth.

Although Captain Jack McKeever is the only letter man back from last year, the material looks promising. Bob Fausch is the only other member of last year's squad. Both Jack and Bob are milers. John Jackson, of Redwood Falls, looks good for the dashes. Coach Haber-mann will have plenty of good material in the weights. In Louis Alberts we have a real weight man. Last year he broke the state High School record for throwing the javelin, and placed third in the national meet at Chicago. Both Kal and Hal Wibye, and Torkel Sunde are out for shot, discus, or javelin.

Other men out are: Arthur Dick, Buhl; Arthur Helling, Magnolia; Kenneth Wright, Albert Brekke, Lanesboro; Benhard Sandsness, Rushford; Wallace Jackson, Dover; Cyril, Amundson, Spring Valley; Bob Gauger, Wabasha; Harvey Gordon, Winona; add Julius Merryman, Winona, student manager.

Coach Habermann has arranged to have his team participate in three meets. The first meet is the Hamline Relays on May 7. The following Saturday, May 14, the team will take part in the Southern Division of the "Little Ten" meet at Mankato. The state "Little Ten" conference meet will take place May 20 at Hamline.

COLLEGE RECEIVES BEAUTIFUL VASE The college is the recipient of a beautiful

vase, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Owens. The vase stands eighteen inches in height and has been decorated by Mrs. Owens in a beautiful copper bronze luster. It will occupy a place upon the hand-carved mahogony table in the Social Hall in College Hall. Mrs. Owens is well versed in ceramics, and skilled in the painting of china. Her knowledge of this field of art and her skill were combined in the selection and decora'tion of this charming piece. It will share in the appreciation which is always expressed by those who visit this finely decorated social room of the college.

seemed flippant, superficial. Many cared only for their grades, and were satisfied if they could, in some way, 'Get By.'

"Question II. What was your greatest difficulty in making adjustments in college?

"The majority answered, 'the art of living together,' and 'the crowding of immediate friendships.' Others felt great depression that

BOOST YOUR PAPER! The new Winonan Staff makes its debut with

this issue. There are many things that could be improved. Students! Give us your ideas and help us to improve it. The paper does not belong to the staff; it belongs to you.

Our paper is not very large, consequently it is difficult to use very much in headlines and sub-headlines, which always improves the ap-pearance. But the size shouldn't hinder the quality of the content in any way! There has been the criticism that there are too many jokes. That is because some of you do not give the reporter accounts of the interesting incidents which occur around here. The reporters are perfectly human, they can't be everywhere and hear everything.

All right students? Let's get behind the paper and try to make it a success. Let's try to make it one of the best in our class, probably not in quantity but in quality.

PRIMARY CLUB ENJOY COSTUME PARTY

The Primary Club entertainment held in Shepard hall, Friday evening, March eleventh, was a costume party. The great variety in dress, and the balloon decorated room gave the desired effect. The dresses represented almost every nation and every phase of Mother Goose stories.

Miss Florence Jermstad furnished the music for dancing and for the various stunts of the evening.

The program opened with dancing. Later in the evening, the members were divided into groups representing various nations, girls, boys, sailors, etc. Each group was asked to prepare a stunt. The result was exceedingly amusing.

Some of the stunts were as follows: Evelyn Graaf, as a new-corner to this county gave a baseball reading; Eleanor Murphy as a Scottish lassie, danced the Highland Fling; Adele Brady, as Carmen, gave a Spanish dance; Mary Vogard, the clown, rendered a very clever clown stunt; Mildred Molloy, Evelyn Simonson, and Pearle Kvale, as sailors, danced a sailor skip; Edith Laughlin and Nellie Claassen, the old women, presented a very interesting dialogue; Marian Crandall, Alice Kammer, and Francis Rietman, as Dutch women, put on a clever Dutch stunt; the little boys and "men" of the club gave a clever pantomime entitled "The Lighthouse Keeper;" Lillian Toivola was a typical Charlie

Chaplin in dress and action, as was Myrtl e Haake as a pirate; the little girls of the club sang "Here I Stand All Ragged and Dirty;" Lucille Zimmerman, Gladys Hegvold, Hazel Risch and Cetha Walkington, attired as colonial men and women, danced the minuet in a very charming manner; Miss Nevins, dressed as a civil war girl, gave the Jumping Jack dance; Minnie Aurell, a Norweigan girl, presented two humorous readings; Bernadine Armstrong, a charming little girl, sang five selections suitable for primary children; Lillian Toivola, Minnie Aurell, and Myrtle Haake, sang some comical songs accompanied by Florence Jermstad; Leone Irwin, as guest of the club, gave an interpretive dance of a toy shop come to life, which was enjoyed very much by the members of the club.

After the program was concluded, a delightful lunch was served. A call for clean-up helpers was sounded immediately after the serving of lunch. Every one was in high spirits after having lunched, therefore there was a great response to the clean-up call. That seems to be the best time to send out an S.O.S. for a clean-up group.

The party was the best one of the year, and everyone left feeling that they had had a won-derful time.

Miss Richards Attends Meeting of Deans of Momen

(Continued from page 1) they were nobody, that they met great crowds with no one to whom they could say 'hello.' Others said their greatest difficulty was in learn-ing to be 'on their own.'

"Question III. During the first months, what have you missed from the high school? Answer: a feeling of security; knowing and enjoying ac-tivities and instructors; time for independent thinking which such a quantity of outside read-ing prevents; time for favorite subjects instead of so much required work.

"Question IV. What would you suggest to the high school dean? Answer: Make the senior year more like college. Discuss college problems with high school girls. Show the needs of form-ing college friendships. Discuss moral problems that they have to face; as, honesty toward work, choice of boy friends, etc.

"Question V. What would you suggest to the college dean? Answer: Make contacts more normal, and informal. Let girls ask something instead of the dean's always asking. Help a girl to budget her time. Let a student feel that a dean's attitude is not critical. Don't let the other members of the faculty forget that we are freshmen. Let the dean care for that which distinguishes one girl from another. Help us to see that ideas may be as exciting as actions.

"Question VI. What is the greatest help you found at college?

"The largest number replied 'None.' Others mentioned: Big Sisters friendships, room-mates, Deans of Faculties, Y.W., church, the S.C.A. (Students' Christian Association).

"Question VII. What has been your greatest problem? Answer: To budget time, for every-thing can't be done at once; to make decisions; to adjust one's self to the hectic rush; the exag-

must be signed. The name of the writer will not necessarily be published.

Taunting John Asks: What is the Significance of a name?

The real significance of a name is that it is a ready means of identification. Within the last three years, a peculiar situation has devel-oped in this college. For many years it was a two year institution; the first year students being spoken of as Juniors, while the second year students were the Seniors. Now, after the introduction of the third and fourth year work, and the definite recognition of organized third and fourth year classes, we continue speaking of the second year class as seniors. This is a confusing situation.

How much better would it be, were we con-sistent in our designation of the various classes!

Why continue designating one group as seniors when according to college terminology they are sophomores? Why do we not let the fourth year students enjoy exclusively the senior designation?

Why do we continue with this vague, indefi-nite, befuddled labelling of classes, when definite-ness, conciseness, clearness, and accuracy in this matter is easily attained? — M. T.

Taunting John says: I am frequently amused when T think of the

number of people who go to concerts and try to act intelligent and appreciative when in reality they know little about the music played, and possibly less about how it is played.

Of what value are printed programs when no explanatory remarks accompany them? Are we afraid the audience is too intelligent or will get too much out of the program if an explana-tory note is given in connection with each number?

How often do not people laud a program whether they understood it or not?

If people are to appreciate music, certainly they must have some understanding of it and know when it is played with proper interpre-tation. — M. T.

gerated familiarity between students, especially in the dormitories; no perspective in the way students lived (`they even borrow each others' clothes'); they never leave one alone; current events discussed at home but no time at col-lege

"The entire conference was one of inspiration. And then to cap the climax, Miss Anna Many, Dean of Newcomb College, New Orleans invited us to visit her institution. And so on we went — four of us — and found our destination as far from Dallas as Dallas was distant from Kansas City. Beautiful New Orleans where the whole city knows how to play! And there I was for the Mardi Gras when the young people and especially all the colored population mask in the streets till sundown. Such color! Such gayety! The fun of seeing a city at play was a fitting conclusion to a week spent in the study of how to develop all sides of one's nature in order to live abundantly."

SECRETARY'S LEDGER At a recent meeting of the Women's Athletic

Association, the election of new officers for the coming year was held. The following officers were elected: Alpha Sunde for President, Esther Ecklund for Vice President, Mary Schueller for Secretary-Treasurer.

On Monday evening March fourteenth, the W.A.A. held a special meeting for the purpose of initiating new members. The initiating com-mittee, consisting of Laimi Kangas, Pearl Kvale, and Elaine Rose, planned some very good stunts. The new members were blindfolded before they were asked to do the stunts prepared for them. They were good sports and meekly submitted to any demands of the old members.

One feature, that created a good deal of amusement, was the ladder-climbing stunt in which the unfortunate ones were asked to climb a ladder in their stockinged feet. About the time they thought they were high enough to knock on the "Golden Gate," they were asked to come down to earth again. It was interesting to note how eager they were to climb up, but how slowly they came down.

The new members were cautioned not to forget their solemn promise to "love, honor, and obey the members of the Association." Every-one voted the meeting a complete success.

The Die-No-Mo Club Production this year will be a musical comedy in three acts entitled "The Toy Shop." There will be a large chorus, with excellent dancing and clever special num-bers.

Before the production, the entire college will unite in a big Publicity Campaign. The Die-No-Mo requests the aid of all the students, either in the production itself or in the Publicity Campaign.

The committee in charge of the production is under the direction of Quirene Anderson and Ina Heggaton.

At the last regular meeting of the Wenonah Players, a one act play "The Slump" was pre-sented. The characters were Flo — Mary Lois Chapel, her husband, Jim — Leslie Johnson, and Don Karow.

The club voted to have an open meeting Friday evening and present the two act comedy, "The Worsted Man."

The two act comedy, "The Worsted Man" was presented Friday evening, March 18, in the auditorium. The play was produced by the Dramatics class last term but not given publicly before.

Marcella Bhend Impatience Willowby Virginia Parr Marianna Blanche Kammer Babette Hawkins Mae Seavey Priscilla Middleton Dorothy Kranz Prudence Andrews Helen Simmers Suzana Olive Nevins Janette Bannington Mae Murray Ethelinda DeWitts Helen Elliott Sambo Helen Peake

The play was directed by Quirene Anderson, and costume mistress was Lenore Wilson. Cleo Reiter played for the songs.

The Physical Education Club held its regular meeting, Tuesday, March 15. Two new mem-bers, Dorothy Chamberlain and Bessie Larson, were initiated formally into active membership, and given the club symbol, a white rose, in recognition of this membership.

The regular business meeting was then held. Lucille Mueller was nominated for Alma Mater. Officers for the coming year were elected as follows: Sylvia Nelson, president; Catherine MacPherson, vice president; Louise Peterson, secretary-treasurer. A club hike was planned for some night after school.

On March seventh, Miss Christensen gave the Girl Scouts a lesson in star-gazing. This has been the third of such lessons.

The weather man again disappointed would-be hikers Saturday afternoon. Nevertheless, the troop is still planning outings. A moonligit hike is being planned for some time in the spring term.

At the meeting of March sixteenth, forty-six members were present. Miss Artz gave a very interesting and instructive discussion on method of establishing new troops.

Lucille Mueller was elected as the Girl Scout's candidate for Alma Mater, and Adele Brady was chosen to give the nomination speech.

The Red Wing Club was very pleasantly en-tertained at a St. Patrick's party, Friday, March eleventh, at Miss Grannis' suite at North Lodge.

A delicious supper was served at tables which were decorated with shamrocks and pipe place cards. The St. Patrick's theme was also car-ried out in the dessert.

After supper, Bridge was played. Marion Jones won first prize.

The hostesses were: Miss Grannis, Faculty Advisor, Hazel Larson, and Frances Johnson.

Do you know that crickets have their ears on their wings; that the gold fish is a member of the carp family? These and many other inter-esting "Do You Knows" were told to the Intermediate Grades Club, Tuesday evening by Miss Christensen. The club also appreciated the second part of Miss Christensen's talk, "Nature Study as a Hobby." She illustrated the fact that most of the great men studied some phase of nature as their hobby.

FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE PROM ANNOUNCED

Something new and interesting is always hap-pening at W.S.T.C.; and so, for the first time, a freshmen-sophomore prom is going to be given this year. The date has been set for Wednes-day, April 23. Plans are well under way, and it is expected that this will be one of the biggest events of the year. The Art Club, under the direction of Mrs. Cassidy, will be in charge of the decorating. A general committee from the freshman class has been appointed by President John Jackson. The committee consists of the following people: Catherine MacPherson, chair-man, Horace Frisby, Dorothy Chamberlain, Arthur Helling and Edna Burns.

MUSIC NOTES Word has been received of the death of Mr.

Mondale, father of Alice Mondale who is one of our Mason Music Club members. The club ex-tends its sincerest sympathy to the bereaved family.

The Mason Music Club held a very interesting meeting in the Tower Room, Monday evening, March fourteen. The meeting was called to order by the President Ewald Kintzi. After the Secretary's report and roll call, the President appointed the following girls as the April Pro-gram committee: Clara Meyer, Emma Frank-son, and Gertrude Zeller.

The speaker of the evening, Miss Christian-son, told us of the music course she pursued under the supervision of Mr. Molar of Columbia Teacher's College, New York. Her descriptions of the work, and of Mr. Molar as a teacher were very interesting to all of us.

After discussing the various questions which arose in regard to Columbia• and the music courses given there, the meeting was adjourned.

Word has been received from Geneva Lattin, graduate of the Teacher's College class of nine-teen twenty-six and member of the Mason Music Club, that she is enjoying her special music work at Huntley, Minnesota. Besides her regular work in music classes, she has started a "Little Girl's" choir composed of about twenty-five girls from the first through the sixth grades. She has very successfully con- ducted an operetta, and takes charge of the piano classes in the High School.

W.S.T.C. TO OBSERVE BEETHOVEN ANNIVERSARY

The week, beginning March twentieth, was set aside in music circles, and also in the country as a whole, as Beethoven week, because March twenty-sixth is the one-hundredth anniversary of the death of the famous musician and com-poser, Ludwig Van Beethoven. Several Chapel periods of that week were used by the members of the Teachers College for the brief study and illustration of Beethoven's life and works. Miss Muriel Meyer gave a lecture on Beethoven's Fifth Symphony which she interspursed with excerpts of the movements which she played on the piano. Miss Marjorie Stork presented some notes on the various phases and incidents, in the life of Beethoven. Philip Houghtelin played some Beethoven numbers which were enjoyed by all. There was a display of miniature sym-phony scores in the college library. The College Chorus sang "The Heavens are Declaring," the music of which was written by Beethoven. One of the most interesting features of the observance of Beethoven Week was the attractive arrange-ment on the rear wall of the Auditorium of various Beethoven pictures. Mrs. Cassidy supervised this part of the program. Time used as those chapel periods were, is really time well preserved.

Just what is an Ideal College Girl? This is a question which one of our sister colleges has been discussing recently under the leadership of their dean. The girls of the institution tabu-lated those qualities they consider every college girl should possess. The most outstanding qualities are to be worked for by every girl in the school . . . An ideal college girl is one who does her level best in her work; enters into extra-curricular activities with a vim; has high moral standards; is neat and clean in her per-sonal appearance, in habits, and in her room; is obedient and can take orders pleasantly; is ladylike, sympathetic, friendly, cheerful, and honest; one who is generous, sincere and helpful; a girl who is healthy in mind and body; one who is a "good scout and a good mixer."

Girls, how many of you can measure up to that standard? Are you an "Ideal College Girl?"

SUPERINTENDENT IRONS TALKS IN CHAPEL

On March eighteen, Superintendent Irons, of Winona Public Schools, talked to the students in chapel. Mr. Irons had recently returned from the meeting of the Department of Super-intendents of National Education Association in Dallas, Texas. Among the interesting points mentioned by Mr. Irons were: fifty or sixty Minnesota people attended the meeting of the seven thousand superintendents; the theme of the whole program emphasized ideals, character, citizenship, and national unity; an orchestra composed of pupils from schools throughout United States furnished music during the session; a negro chorus, from Booker T. Wash-ington high school, lead by B. T. Washington's daughter, sang negro spirituals with great religious ferver; in program put on by National Society for the Study of Education, the Junior High School was discussed and criticized, as to place and function in public school system, and as to the articulation of the Junior High School

and Senior High School and Colleges, and as to objectives and attainments of the Junior High School. Superintendent Irons said that Winona and the Teachers College were working in ac-cordance with all views set forth by the Society.

ALUMNI NEWS Miss Valois Dezell, '26, who is at present

teaching in Alden, Minnesota, visited with friends here last week. We were all very de-lighted to have "Val" come and see us, and we hope that she will come again.

It has been reported that Ralph Calkins, former president of the Die-No-Mo club, is coming back to Winona to attend the summer session. Those of us who intend to attend summer school will be glad to have "Calk" among our ranks.

Recent letters received from Bernice Jansen at Strandquist, Hermina Lindberg at Kasson, Helen Wiberg at Dodge Center, all give evidence that W.S.T.C. graduates are upholding her repu-tation for efficiency and readiness to shoulder responsibilities.

Olga Larson, a graduate from the one year course in 1922, visited with her sister, Bessie Larson, last week end. Miss Larson has charge of the lower grades in Ostrander, Minnesota.

FEATURE STORY WE MARVEL AT MARBLES

There isn't any Santa Claus and the Indians seem to be vanishing quite rapidly, but the game of Marbles will go on forever.

How do we know? No, little birdies haven't been whispering things, nor were we told so in our bedtime stories. We know, because when certain individuals of normal intelligence, and moderate sex-appeal decide that marbles are in vogue and take to exercising their thumbs, that marbles will NEVER die.

Only secondary to that evidence is the fact that when a certain "Inis" Saxine met "Howie" with his hat on in the hall, he apologized for not tipping it. Could it possibly have been because it was full of marbles and he couldn't remove it from his head?

At any rate, boys WILL be boys and playing with candy in the drawing room is just as "boy-ish" and clever as using real "aggies" out of doors. It is, however, the desire of this insti-tution to express its sincere hope that none of its masculine children will be arrested for robbing the youngsters in the Phelps School of their toys.

MISS KAVANAUGH SPEAKS IN CHAPEL On Monday, March twenty-first, Miss Kava-

naugh gave a very interesting talk in Chapel having as her topic the trip and observations made by Miss Mabel Carney, Head of Rural Education Department at the Teachers College at Columbia, during her tour of Africa from February to October of the year 1926. Miss Carney was sent by the International Institu-tion of Teachers College, Columbia to study and make a report on native education in the British territory in Africa, with special emphasis on edu-cation of women and girls. A booklet has been made of Miss Carney's letters which are very interesting and show her observations of native life and education in Liberia, Portugal and East Africa as well as the British territory.

Miss Carney makes four enlightening conclu-sions: (1) That Africans given equal opportunity with other races have really very great possi-bilities; (2) That missions are showing a very great work and that there is still much work to be done; (3) That Britain's conception of the responsibility of leading nations for primitive and backward people as worked out under mandate systems is the highest, most altruistic, and humane interpretation of this difficult task held by any country; (4) That the obligations of the United States for future peace, prosperity, and happiness of the world is clearly realized after such a trip.

Miss Carney further notes that most of the geography that people know and are taught about Africa is not as true and authentic as it could be if brought strictly up-to-date, and that the people of this country are really very ignorant of the facts concerning the conditions of the natives of that far land.
