ART DEPARTMENT HEAD RESIGNS
The resignation of Mrs. T. M. Cassidy, head of the art depart-ment at Winona State Teachers College since 1923, came as a surprise to many in the college and in the community. Mrs. Cas-sidy completed the fall quarter's work, and in December left for Baraboo, Wisconsin where she plans to make her home.
"After a few weeks of rest," said Mrs. Cassidy, "I intend to take graduate work at the Uni-versity of Wisconsin. Then I plan to write on art education."
During her six years as art instructor, Mrs. Cassidy has been recognized as one of the ablest instructors of the college and has proved a valuable helper and friend to both students and faculty. She leaves many friends in the com-munity as well as in the college.
The Art club was organized dur-ing Mrs. Cassidy's administration, and largely through her efforts. She has been a valuable advisor to the annual staffs of previous years, and her suggestions have helped to keep the "Wenonah" in the front rank of publications. For two years, she was advisor of the Catholic Students Club. The Watkins exhibit was under her direction. Whenever a play was to be given or a party was planned, it was Mrs. Cassidy who was al-ways in demand for advice or suggestions.
When asked which of these activ-ities she enjoyed most, she said, "I like them all, but most of all I enjoyed my class work."
Before coming to Winona, she was practical art supervisor in northeastern Massachusetts. The Cambridge, Mass. high school also had her on the faculty for a number of years. The local St. Teresa's College is also on the list of former positions. Her summers were spent in pursuing art work in Boston and at Harvard University.
Miss Dorothy Clark is filling the position of art instructor at the college, which was left vacant by the resignation of Mrs. T. M. Cassidy.
Miss Clark is well qualified to continue the high grade of work which Mrs. Cassidy did. She re-ceived her degree from Warrens-burg, Missouri State Teachers' College, and studied art in the Chicago Art Institute. In ad-dition to giving private lessons, she taught in Warrensburg. Be-fore her election to the Winona faculty, she was engaged in dress designing in a dressmaking es-tablishment at Chicago.

FOURTEEN ATTEND DEBATE MEETING
With the debate season begin-ing in January, a call was issued by Glen E. Fishbaugher, debate coach for candidates for the forensic team. The first meeting was held on Wednesday, December 4, when fourteen prospective debaters re-ported.
The question to be debated this year is: Resolved: that the United States should adopt a policy lead-ing to complete disarmament ex-cept for forces needed for police protection.
The debate season will begin in January lasting throughout the month of February. Debates have been arranged with the Eau Claire, La Crosse, River Falls, and Moor-head Teachers Colleges. Other de-bates may possibly be held with Mankato Teachers College and
with some of the Minneapolis colleges.
At the first call for debate ma-terial, fourteen students signed up to take part in the initial tryouts held Tuesday, December 11th. Eleanore Hassinger, Dorothy By-land, Freda Gerdts, Dorothy Kater, Gordon Bear, John Moriarity, Ann Cronquist, Mary Farrell, Ulysses Whiteis, William Shroeder, Bertha Kretzsch mar, Theodore Soloski, Dorothy Wakey, and Mabel Green.
William Schroeder is the only veteran from last year's team re-porting. Most of those reporting have had experience in high school debating, however.
"The question is a very timely one", according to Mr. Fishbaugher, "because of the disarmament con-ference to be held soon".
DOCTOR URGES SUPER- VISION OF MENTAL AND
PHYSICAL HABITS OF CHILDREN
"School theory and home prac-tise in child • health must more nearly approximate each other," says Dr. Ira S. Wile. Dr. Wile points out that the food eaten in the home is not determined by public school teaching so much as by the habits, customs, palate, and pocketbook, just as the degree to which liquor is employed in the home depends upon other things than thirst. He emphasizes, there-fore, the importance of educating parents as well as children in the principles of health.
Habits Formed at Home "The temperance of foods, their
spicing, the mode of preparation, the use of coffee, tea, and the like have values in the home that are not easily cast aside because a young child takes home the mes-sage that some other food should be given him regularly," says Dr. Wile, as he appeals for a better home and school coordination through school visitors, visiting nurses, visiting teachers, parent-teacher organizations, and class-mother organizations.
The home must assume the greatest responsibility of the health program outlined by Dr. Wile. The home determines to a large extent the amount of time that is to be spent in sleep, in rest, and in play. During the school period the child's allotment of sunshine and fresh air, his bathing habits, the degree of attention that he receives for bodily ailments are all within the control of the home.
Emotions Affect Health Dr. Wile urges that parents exer-
cise more care in the supervision of hours of home study, and pro-vide the conditions under which children may study in comfort and without interruption. •
Dr. Wile cautions parents to con-cern themselves with the mental as well as the physical health of their children.. "The health of children may be more undermined by parental attitudes, examples, and lack of ideals than by sitting up too late or eating too much," he says. Dr. Wile warns parents to avoid lack of emotional restraint, such as explosive anger, inordinate cod-dling, favoritisms, use of fear in punishment, classing these as un-hygenic as monotony in diet, the use of tea and beer, and the failure to git properly.
Stanley Arbingast, assistant editor of the Winonan last year, visited Teachers College Thanks-giving vacation. Mr. Arbingast is the principal at the Lewisville school.
MR. MURDOCK GIVES COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS On November 27th graduation
exercises were conducted at which time nineteen diplomas were awarded. The program was opened by the playing of the organ roll, "Rondo Capriccioso" by Mendels-sohn. President Maxwell intro-duced Mr. John W. Murdock of Wabasha, who gave the address "Comments of an Official Observer". Mr. Murdock earnestly advised all beginning teachers to start out with the idea of co-operating fully with their superintendent. A teacher must be loyal to the school which employs her and the superiors who direct her activities. Although the teacher does not always know it, the Superintendent takes the re-sponsibility for many of his teach-er's faults, so he deserves the sup-port of all the teachers. The atti-tude of a teacher very well deter-mines her probable success as a teacher.
After the address, the College Choir sang "The Coronation March, With Courage and Faith" by Mey-erbeer-Silver. Mr. Grimm di-rected the choir. Director S. H. Somsen then awarded the diplomas to the graduates and the exercises were completed with the singing of the "Alma Mater" by the entire student body.
The following students were awarded diplomas for the comple-tion of two years of college work : Baumbach, Bertha B., Primary.
"Japan and Its Schools" was the subject of a very interesting talk given on Nov. 26 by Mr. Clement, a former teacher in Japan. "Japan offers great opportunities for am-bitious American teachers and I wish to acquaint the American people with the real Japanese so that they may be more kindly disposed toward him," he said.
The Japanese student has many interests in common with the American students. He is inter-ested in sports, undergoes "stiff" examinations, and has a keen sense of humor, so characteristic of collegiate America. But the Jap-anese student carries more sub-jects and because the examinations are so hard, many study practically
all night before the tests. Because there are so many seeking entrance into the universities and because the educational facilities are not adequate to take care of this number, the entrance examina-tions are exceptionally hard.
Japanese students are like Amer-ican ones—some good, some bad, some just the average type. They have a genuine sense of humor, delight in punning, and enjoy play-ing practical jokes on their teach-ers. Nevertheless they are very courteous to their pedagogues and respect their judgment.
There is practically no co-educa-tion except at the universities. But in this respect and in many other ideas in education, Japan is fast learning the educational meth-ods of America."
"BITTER MEDICINE" PHILOSOPHY OF ACQUIR-
ING KNOWLEDGE IS AT- TACKED BY PROFESSOR
"Too often schools are conducted on that principle made immortal by Mr. Dooley: 'It doesn't matter what you teach a boy, Hennesey, so long as he doesn't like it,' " says J. Mace Andress.
Mr. Andress lists among the objectives of education, knowledge, habits, and attitudes. The oldest of these is knowledge, but it is by no means the most important, Mr. Andress thinks, for without the proper attitudes knowledge is diffi-cult to acquire and useless after it is achieved. Without attitudes that urge definite action, pupils form habits slowly, and break them as soon as compulsion is removed.
Attitudes Are Important "Too many students pass their
work in English with marks in-dicating that their knowledge of facts and their skill in writing is satisfactory and yet have unfor-tunate attitudes toward the sub-ject. When such attitudes are aroused they not only deprive the students of pleasure in pursuing the subject at school but in later years good literature may be avoid-ed," offers Mr. Andress in explana-tion of the fact that so many stu-dents never read after graduation the works of the great writers they studied in school and college.
Mr. Andress cites prejudices as an example of the extent to which attitudes influence lives, sometimes determining objectives and achieve-ments of a lifetime in a measure far beyond the importance of the underlying reason for the emotional likes and dislikes. Since no person reaches maturity without forming attitudes that will influence him in all his acts, he urges that more attention be given to the education of emotions in the home and school. As a basis for this type of education he would make use of the psycho-logical principle of associating satis-faction and pleasure with that which is wholesome.
Miss Janet Rohweder, a former graduate of this college and now attending the University of Minne-sota, has one of the leading roles in "The Wizard of Nile" by Victor Herbert which the University Sing-ers are presenting in the New Northrup Auditorium January 13 and 14.
While a student at Winona; Janet Rohweder was prominent in all musical activities, being the soloist of the Mendelssohn Club and taking a leading part in the "Pirates of Penzance," the musical comedy presented by the Die-No-Mo-Club.
LADY WINDEMERE'S FAN PROVES GREAT SUCCESS
"Lady Windemere's Fan" was most successfully produced by the Wenonah Players, November 26th, in the college auditorium. The characters of the play demanded skillful interpretation; the plot was more difficult than anything the club has ever before attempted. Each player impersonated his role to the best of his ability and co-operated in every respect.
Catherine Sullivan, as Lady Win-demere, the leading lady, charmed the audience by her appearance and attractive personality, played well the part of one who lives for real love only.
Abigail Bliss as Mrs. Erlynne, captivated the heart of every man on the stage with her coquettish-ness and tactful manners. She proved that even in the worst of humanity there is a touch of earnest desire for social standing.
The Duchess of Berwick, much to every one's amusement and de-light always pre-arranged her daughter's actions. Edna Just-man was excellent in the portrayal of an over indulgent mother and most anxious to enter into others' affairs.
Lord Windemere, played by John Moriarity, was faithful to the love for his wife although under sus-picious circumstances. Lyman Bringgold as attractive, dark, emo-tional villan, of a fascinating nature which attracted every woman's heart.
Henry Southworth, as the ad-mirable dear old Tuffy, was very realistic in playing the part of an elderly gentleman much disturbed by the young men's behavior and yet he too fell under the charm of Mrs. Erlynne.
Ardis Prinzing was the very charming, meek, clever daughter of Duchess of Berwick and had great tact in woman's gift of speech. Other parts were played by Edith Whittier, Mrs. King, Florence Childers, Ardath Lovall, Alfhild Julseth, Hattie Southworth, Sara Sill, Eleanor Hansen, Edna Green, Corwin Jones, William Moyer, Damian Matz, George Rossi, How-ard Roy, and Ewald Kintzi.
The success of any play is due in a large part to the work and ability of the director. Miss Watts is to be commended for her skillful work, and unending sugges-tions.
All of the players helped and co-operated with the making of prop-erties, ushering, and clean up work.
SEVENTY-TWO SUBJECTS OFFERED IN PROGRAM
Seventy-two courses or subjects are offered in the winter program of the teachers college, in addition to the classes in physical education meeting twice weekly, and the work in directed teaching. This wide variety of curricular offerings is partly due to the adding of the full four-year or degree program to the two-year program. Included a-mong the subjects for juniors and seniors are educational measure-ments, poetry of Tennyson and Wordsworth, dramatic production, educational sociology, school super-vision, and biology. In certain subjects the students of the second and the third years unite, no stu-dent however, pursuing work re-moved more than one year from his classification.
Joseph Voorhees, one of the co-originators of the Die-No-Mo-Club is back in the third year course. Mr. Voorhees graduated from here two years ago.

THE DELLA ROBBIA COLLECTION Luca della Robbia was the originator of an exceptional kind of
nephew, Andrea, was asked to fill the vacant space for decoration on glaze, that in combination with clay is known as Robbia Ware. Luca's
the facade of the Hospital of the Innocents in Florence, Italy. As the institution was lacking sufficient funds for maintenance, he conceived the idea of creating infant figures so imbued with pathos that no one looking at them could resist their helpless appeal. After he completed the medallions, rich merchants endowed the hospital to such an extent that the merciful work continued, even to this day. These Bambini reliefs are just above the pillars in front of the institution.
Whenever we see one of these reliefs representing childhood, we think of the great work Andrea accomplished for this institution. They appeal to people throughout the world as a symbol, a beautiful symbol, of childhood at its best.
In our hall we have a collection of five of these reliefs by the della Robbia family. The true artistic expression of the sculptor is realized by anyone studying the pieces. Feeling is expressed in every line.
Do not pass these by with just a casual glance. Time spent study-ing them is well worth your while, for understanding and appreciation of genious is an asset to your cultural education.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Watkins are the donors of these works of art. The college takes this means of expressing its highest appreciation of the presentation of the gifts. -

"SPORTSMANSHIP" The quality of good sportsmanship has been discussed a good deal
lately, because of the fact that we are about to embark on a season of basketball. Perhaps it would be not altogether improper for us to make some further comment upon the subject.
We feel that that which is sometimes termed poor sportsmanship is often a too excited display of loyalty to one's school. This may be construed to apply to both the players and the spectators. If a person is thoroughly determined that his school is set to •win, he will often carry his enthusiasm to extremes. The result — poor sportsmanship.
During the football season no great display of enthusiasm was evidenced on the part of the student body, as witness the fact is that it was impossible to get enough students to go to Rochester to warrant the chartering of a bus. Therefore, we feel that before we worry greatly about the sportsmanship of the students, we should turn our attention to developing a stronger sense of loyalty.
GRADUATION Those persons who are wont to burst into tears during the course
of a marriage ceremony generally feel somewhat the same way about graduation exercises. One can not blame them altogether. There is about both a sort of overpowering solemnity. Both mark the beginning of something new. Something which promises considerable adventure.
Graduation is, however, our particular concern. The recent exercises in our school have made it a paramount issue. A class has recently been graduated from this school. Many of them intend to go into the world to teach other persons and to elevate the standards of the world. Others will perhaps continue their education.
Graduation is a commencement of a new life, a life which will be filled with color and beauty and with sorrow and disappointment. Yet is to be a world which will bring adventure to all and happiness to most. It is the world of which each under graduate dreams and hopes one day to become a part.
GRADES The quarter is over. Most of the students now know what grades
they have received in their various subjects. Many of these students are undoubtedly disappointed. This disappointment is probably most prevelant among the freshmen. Perhaps those straight A's have been reduced to C's. Probably all their grades have fallen just a little. Yet there is no reason for a "what's the use" attitude. That drop may be considered logical. The idea is to become fired with new ambi-tion and to show the instructors one's real ability.
In high school grades were all important. They meant honor roll privileges not extended to other students. They meant a certain standing among one's class mates. In college the real concern is what one gets out of a course.
If a student bends himself to get the most out of each course he is capable of getting good grades which will then come as a matter of course.
C WINONAN SACHEMS
Her charming manner and quiet good will are the two qualities which first impress one when speaking to Janie Streeter, a member of the sophomore class and prominent in club activities of the college.
Before coming to Winona, Janie attended the Redwood Falls high school graduating as the valedictorian of her class. Here she participated in debating and extemporaneous speaking. Her activities, however, were not limited to school activities. As a member of the 4-H Club she won a bread baking contest in 1927 and demonstrated at the state fair. In the same year Janie received first place in a singing contest given by the Minneapolis school of Music at the Dream Theatre in Red-wood Falls.
At college, too, Janie has always taken an active part in school affairs. She is a will-
Janie Streeter ing helper and often 'assists at school parties
in serving on decoration and refreshment committees. Janie claims membership in a large number of clubs and serves in a number as officer. She was elected a member of the Repre-sentative Council this fall and rlow serves as secretary of the Y. W. C. A., vice president of the Junior High School Club and sophomore of the all school social committee. Other clubs to which this illustrious stu-dent belongs are the Die-No-Mo, Mendelssohn and Mason Music, and Art Club.
Music seems to be Janie's specialty for she is specializing in that course, although she also "loves to draw".
When asked what her favorite subject was, Janie replied, "I like subjects like government best because they are concrete."
Janie's helpfulness and spirit of friendliness are the two factors that have made her a popular, well-liked student at T. C.
Miss Christiansen, instructor in Rural Education at our own school, has been appointed Chairman of Rural Education by the president of the American Association of University Women. It is her duty to have in charge' any work that might be done by the local chapter, and to supplement work done by other chapters throughout the state.
One suggestion is that they co-operate with the county nurse in seeing that the handicapped chil-dren have steps taken toward over-coming their handicaps.
"As yet nothing has been done to improve conditions, but it is hoped that an interest will be aroused which will lead to curative measures next year," says Miss Christiansen.
STATE COLLEGE BOARD ADOPT REVISED PROGRAM The State Teachers College
Board held its quarterly session in St. Paul, December 6th. The prin-cipal item of business was the adop-tion of a revised two-year program to harmonize more fully with the four-year curriculum adopted last August. In a forthcoming issue, the Winonan will report the changes, which are few, and the relation of the new program to the subject of certification. Each of the col-leges reported an increasing enroll-ment in the four-year work.
Snow Snow is feathers From an angel's wing. I wonder, Does he weep Or does he sing As he loses feathers From his wing?

WENONAH PLAYERS TO PRESENT PANTOMIME
This year, the Wenonah Players are planning an entirely different type of performance as their regu-lar Christmas production. Instead of a dialogue, it will take the form of a pantomine and no words will be spoken. It promises to be very entertaining and will be the result of many hours of work. It was written by Louise Van Voorhis Armstrong and is entitled "The Doctor of Lonesome Folk." The Players are working on new scenery for the performance. The cast is, as yet, undecided— but it will probably be: The Doctor of Lonesome Folk ..

FACULTY PLAN EXTEN- SIVE STUDY PROGRAM
The faculty of the College has been engaged in an extensive study program which is to extend through-out the school year. In this pro-gram, an attempt is being made to familiarize the members of the faculty with recent studies which have been made in special fields.
It is planned to have six meetings during the year. These meetings are held on Monday evenings at four o'clock in Room 3. During the course of the meeting, tea is served.
The first meeting, November eighteenth, conducted by Miss Christensen and Miss Bartsch was a study to discover differences in the activities of rural and city teachers.
On Monday, December 9th, Mr. Munson conducted the meeting. His topic was "Trends in Modern Biological Experimentation."
Much of the success of the pro-grams is due to Mr. Selle who is chairman of the committee.
The first number of "The Phelps Herald," the Phelps Junior High school paper was issued with the close of the fall quarter. "The name was chosen by a vote of the pupils. All the staff was elected by vote and almost every one in the school contributed. The paper will con-tain some of the original work of the pupils and things of interest to all." Blake Nevius, Jr. is editor, with Judd Engstrom, Ruth Mourning, Lawrence Shepard, and others as associates. The three teachers of the junior high school act as advisers.
The Phelps Junior High School organized and carried through a successful school carnival, thereby receiving the values that come from a cooperative creative effort, be-sides a sum of some thirty dollars whereby to provide for certain school activities or to make pur-chases of a character not provided by state funds.
THIRTY-SIX NEW STUDENTS ENROLLED
Registration for winter classes was completed December second.
In a survey of the enrollment of the Winona State Teachers College for the winter quarter, it was found that out of the total enrollment of four hundred forty-one students, two hundred are classed as Fresh-man; one hundred ninety-one as Sophomores; thirty-six as Juniors; and thirteen as Seniors.
Thirty-six new students (seven-teen men and nineteen women) have enrolled for work this term.
The names of the new students are as follows: Melvin Open, Zum-brota; LeRoy Roth, Winona; Fred Rowell, Winona; Vincent Sand, Mazeppa; Mabel Schott, Lewiston; Margaret Smith, Minneapolis; Emil Tillman, Winona; Marjorie Tierman, Albertville; Joseph Voor7 hees, Duluth; Thomas Whitcomb, Plainview; Mildred Jenks, Winona; Edna Brezie, Winona; Mrs. Dora Helen Cline, Tomah Wisconsin; Pacifico Carpio, Phillipine Islands; Kenneth Svee, Zumbrota; Mrs. Tillie Gustofson, Pilloger; Eliza-beth Botsford, Winona; Bonny Fuller, Lewiston; Muriel Hayme, Hills; Gus Hedlund, Seattle Wash-ington; Estella Johnson, Virginia; Mildred Kalouner, Winona; Joanne Kovanilmi, Eveleth; Violet Kudart, Winona; Arnold Kujath, Milhille; Harry McGrath, Kellogg; Adele McMurrin, St. Paul; Dorris Meyer, Austin; Mauro Fuertes, Phillipine Islands; Elisabeth Fahy, Minne-apolis; Franklyn Neeb, Winona; Ralph Nelson, Kellogg; Allen Nor-by, Rushford.
Courses are now being offered in the following: Trigometry, violin, individual gymnastics, educational measurement, advanced English Composition, Tennyson and Words-worth, chemistry, educational so-ciology, school supervision, dra-matics, and public speaking.
MISS CHRISTIANSEN APPOINTED CHAIRMAN
OF RURAL EDUCATION Are the children in rural com-
munities receiving an education equal to that of city children? Few people realize that they are not. Minnesota is largely an agri-cultural state, and it has nine thousand rural schools within its borders. This means that there are a great number of children who are getting an education inferior to that of the urban communities.
GRADUATES ENTERTAINED Miss Florence L. Richards en-
tertained the graduating class of the Fall quarter at a dinner at Morey Hall on November 26. Be-sides the members of the graduat-ing class, the following people were present; President and Mrs. Max-well, Mr. and Mrs. Owens, and Miss Brunner. The two tables were very artistically decorated in purple and white, the college colors. The candles on the tables were tinted a soft purple that harmon-ized with the purple-tinged white chrysanthemums. Mrs. Maxwell presided at one table and Miss Richards was at the head of the other.
The Mother The Gossip The Wife The Man About Town
Gordon Bear The Miser John Moriarity
The date is set for Thursday, Dec. 19. The play will be followed by a big all-college party in the gym. This Christmas party is an annual affair with a Christmas tree, gifts, Santa Claus and all. Quirene Anderson will head the committee for the party, and besides this there are committees for the tree, the gifts, etc. Let's spend the last evening before the Christmas va-cation in an interesting way by attending these two college fes-tivities.
THE WINONAN
THE CHATTER BOX by Henry Southworth
It looks as though our friendly rivals are going to have a time with this Bianchi boy. If they don't stop him, goodness only knows what he will do, and if they do, they will have to have some power-ful teams. Dewey is plenty fast and good. His playing was very outstanding in last week's game. Keep it up, old scout.
The students would profit a great deal if they would turn to pages forty-six and forty-seven in the guide book and read over the school songs before the game, and then sing when the band begins to play.
There is a lad from Plainview that made a very good showing last week, and has a bright future before him. Charlie Fiske played a fine brand of basketball and is being watched with eager eyes by the fans of the school.
Bernard Kramer and Wendell McKibbon made a good showing. Both played their parts and added much to the strength of the team.
Donald Bohn of Wabasha was very efficient at the blackboard, and had some practice with Palmer Method.
Last quarter the men's gymn. classes played soccer out-of-doors for awhile. When the cold weather set in, they moved into the gym-nasium in the Library Building where they learned many games that can be used on the play grounds and during recess periods.
It would hardly be fair if we should let this issue of the paper go by without saying a good word for Mr. Reese and the College Band. This is one of the finest organiza-tions of the school and does more than its share at the games and other functions.
In a recent number of COSMO-‘ POLITAN, William Howard Taft has an article on MILLION DOL-LAR FOOTBALL. In this the former president criticizes the man-ner in which extra-curricular ac-tivities are handled in our colleges and universities, saying that the real purpose of education is for-gotten in the modern school, that the stadium overshadows the class-room, and that the athlete is not the one who succeeds in life. This may be true to a certain extent, but I wonder what the Chief Justice considers an education to be. Is it a process of stuffing the brain with subject matter, or is it a way to prepare one for his place in the world of men? I wonder if Mr. Taft considers the character of training that comes from com-petitive games, and the association with many types of fellows through them. Perhaps athletics are un-satisfactory in some places and sometimes, but I wonder if the majority are not very beneficial and worthwhile.
ATTENTION CALLED TO THE SPORTSMANSHIP CODE
It seems quite fitting that, with the beginning of the basketball season that the attention of the student body be called to the Sportsmanship Code as given on pages twenty-six and twenty-seven of the student guide book.
It is just as important for the student body to follow this code as it is for the team. The spirit of the student spectators at inter-school contests is the reflection of the morale of the college as well as the character of each individual. A person who is a weeping, com-plaining loser or a chesty winner is not an asset to his college, or a credit to his friends. It is the one who takes victory humbly and defeat with a smile that the school is proud of having.
SPORTSMANSHIP COM- MITTEE ELECTED
In accordance with the sugges-tion of the college students of 1926, a sportsmanship committee was elected Friday, December 6th. Those who will serve on the com-mittee are Lyman Bringgold, Harold Rogge, Margaret La Craft, Tom Mullen and Joseph Voorhees. The sportsmanship code as previously adopted by the student body is: "We the students of Winona State Teachers College, deem it an act of injustice to our Alma Mater and to each other to disregard any one of the following standards set for each student of the college. At auditorium exercises or enter-
tainments: Courtesy to the performer and
his assistants. . Courtesy to those sitting near.
At athletic exhibitions: Courtesy as a spectator. Courtesy as a player.
Anywhere: Courtesy to fellow-men.
The Sportsmanship Committee shall consist of six members of the college; two chosen from the fresh-man class; two from the junior class; and one from the senior class; those from the freshman and junior classes carrying over the work of keeping alive a good sportsmanship attitude in the school each year until the succeeding freshman and junior classes shall elect three mem-bers to act with them.
The duties of the committee shall be: 1. To attend all school activities and report to the school the good qualities displayed at said activity, or the bad, if necessary. 2. To report anything that per-tains to good sportsmanship any-where on the campus, or to report poor sportsmanship if necessary. 3. To suggest amendments to the code or changes to meet the needs of the school. 4. To find out what other schools think of the quality of sportsmanship displayed by the members of our school. 5. To point out acts of good sportsman-ship exhibited by other schools which might well be imitated by us. 6. To post our code in each gymnasium, athletic field, and all other suitable places about the school. 7. In general: to keep alive sportsmanship ;
MR. GALLIGAN EX- PLAINS BASKETBALL
Friday morning in Chapel, Mr. Maxwell asked Coach Galligan to explain the rules of the game and tell the student body and faculty something about basketball. Mr. Galligan's talk was very interest-ing and helpful. With the aid of his notes, he skillfully explained several technicalities and rules of the game. All of which will help us to understand the game better and appreciate the decision given by the referee. Mention must also be given Wendell McKibbon for his assistance.
Defeat—What of That? Although you be beaten by a huge
score; what then? If you battled the best you could;
If you played the game fair with your fellow men,
Why the booster will call it good. Defeat comes with a crawl or comes
with a pounce. And whether it's slow or spry
It isn't the fact that you're licked that counts,
But how were you licked and why.
Mildred Jenks, also a former student who has been out teaching, is back for the third year course.

NO FOOTBALL CAP-TAIN TO BE ELECTED
Lettermen Vote On New Plan
At a meeting of the foot-ball lettermen for 1929, it was voted that there would be no permanent football captain next year. Instead, the coach will appoint a pilot for the team before each game. This plan was followed by the Uni-versity of Minnesota this sea-son as well as many other schools.
W. A. A. WINTER PRO- GRAM ANNOUNCED
The Women's Athletic Associa-tion announces a full program of winter sports for this quarter. Every girl in college is eligible to take part in these extra curricula activities. A well balanced college program should include some extra-curricula activity in the field of W. A. A. according to Frances Morse, president of the organiza-tion. It is the aim of the club to have each girl in school participat-ing in at least one sport each quar-ter.
Girls basketball started Monday, December 9th, with a general meeting for all girls who are in-terested in taking part this quarter. Girls who did not know how to play were especially urged to come out to learn. Three days a week from four to five in the library gymnasium are to be devoted to girls intramural basketball. Mon-days are to be for girls who already know how to play, Tuesdays are to be devoted to beginners who are willing and anxious to learn the game, and practices for both play-ers and beginners will be on Fri-days. These two weeks before Christmas are to be devoted to general practice, learning the game, learning the rules, getting ac-quainted, and selecting captains and leaders. Captains and teams are to be selected after Christmas. Every girl who comes out to prac-tice these first two weeks will be placed on first teams. The pro-gram of games will be announced of ter the teams are made. Every team will try to play every other team in the tournament.
There seems to be much enthus-iasm for dancing this quarter also. One class in clogging is to be an-nounced probably for Monday eve-nings from 6:30 to 7:30 in the Sheppard Hall social room. Two classes in interpretative dancing are to be conducted on Wednes-days. A class from 3:05 to 4 will be held for girls who are just be-ginning dancing and another class following from 4 to 5 will be for advanced students who have had some work in dancing before. This work in dancing is always very in-teresting and maintains much en-thusiasm all during the quarter.
Other sports offered but not necessarily in class work are—skating, skiing, tobogganing, bik-ing, swimming, and bowling. It is hoped that a class in bowling may be arranged and have regular class instruction given. Parties are to be arranged from time to time dur-ing the quarter in skating, skiing, hiking. Each winter quarter the club trys to give one or two sleigh ride parties followed by a hot lunch.
Points for approximately one hundred girls have been recorded for the last fall quarter. The spirit and enthusiasm of girls in W. A. A. activities has been very good, and we hope before the end of this quarter to have every girl in school out for some one or more sports.
DIE-NO-MO CLUB SPONSORS FOOTBALL BANQUET
The end of a very successful football season was brought to a close with a banquet for the foot-ball squad sponsored by the Die-No-Mo Club on Monday, Novem-ber 25, at the Winona Hotel.
Decorations were cleverly worked out in purple and white. Two large gilded footballs made up the centerpiece. Favors were small candy goal posts.
Miss Sara Sill, president of the Die-No-IV10 Club, made a most charming toastmistress. George Rossi told how the boys "on the bench" played the game as well as those who actually participated. Captain Tom Mullens spoke "From the line". He stated that this year there was the best co-opera-tion from the boys.
"Between the Halves", a skit was given which showed how Vic-tory (Clara Venberg) kept coming closer to Winona (Janey Streeter) and finally crowning her with the laurel wreath.
"From in front of the goal post" Coach G. E. Galligan told how the boys worked diligently together and that they had to be up in their academic subjects to play. Miss Theda Gildemeister described how the game appeared from one "be-hind the goal posts". Ole Risty, not only plays football, but again proved that he is just as good at singing.
W. R. Smith, director of intra-mural athletics at the University of Minnesota was the main speaker. Mr. Smith stressed the point that athletics are not an end, but a means to securing the all-around educated individual. He stated that it has always been a pleasure to him to referee Winona games because of the good sportsmanship shown by the players. Cheers and songs completed one of the most successful banquets that the Die-No-Mo Club has ever sponsored.
T. C. DEFEATS DOVER BISONS
Winona defeated Dover last Sat-urday evening in the college gym-nasium by a score of 28 to 10. The game was not a thrilling one, but should have encouraged all the T. C. Fans who saw it. From the looks of the team on the floor, Winona should have one of the best teams she has ever had. The boys are fast, accurate, and steady, —all of which naturally adds to the hopes of the boosters of a team. Although the Dover boys were outplayed during the entire game, they put up a good fight and de-serve a considerable amount of credit for the game they played. Coach Galligan is doing a good piece of work, and probably will be rewarded with a successful year.
FORMER INSTRUCTOR INAUGURATED HEAD
OF LOUISVILLE "U" Dr. Raymond Asa Kent, former
instructor of mathematics at the Winona State Teachers College, was inaugurated as president of the University of Louisville at Louis-ville, Kentucky, November twen-ty-first.
After leaving Winona, Dr. Kent was principal of the University High School at Minneapolis, head of the department of education at the University of Kansas, superin-tendent of schools at Duluth, and dean of the school of Liberal Arts of Northwestern university.
Walter Boisen was one of the passengers in an exciting automo-bile trip with several present Teacher's College students during Thanksgiving vacation. The boys made the trip to Sioux Falls in seven hours.
WINONA WINS SECOND LITTLE TEN CONFERENCE
UNDER COACH GALLIGAN
Only Conference Member Undefeated
With the beginning of the basket-ball season, it is only right that we should take a final glance at the record made by the football team in 1929 under the direction of Mr. Glen. Galligan. This year the purple and white boys were the only members of the Little Ten Conference that did not meet de-feat in a conference game.
The first game of the season was a pleasant surprise for Winona. Menomonie boys put up a good fight, but the offense and defense of the stone crushers from the Gate City was more than a match for them. The score was Winona 12, Stout 0. A week later the tables turned when our fellows ventured into Wisconsin to taste defeat at the hands of La Crosse T. C., but nevertheless the purple came back with a smile on their faces and a good word for the "Darkie" and his comrades as well as a good appetite for another game. La Crosse 18, Winona 0. When an attack was launched against the soldiers at Fort Snelling a week later, the boys turned the tables and came back with a 12 to 7 vic-tory. On October 12 Columbus crossed the ocean blue but he had nothing on Red Wing or Winona ball teams, for this was the day they staged a combat on a sea of mud in a pasture on the west end of town. Our visitors from the seminary were buried in a 32 to 0 score. Then came the thriller of the season. Capt. Mullen's camp was envaded by a band of warriors from the west. On a beautiful afternoon, we beat Mankato in a close and breath-taking game with a narrow score of 7 to 2. This was a real football game and don't you think for a minute that those Kato boys couldn't play.
The climax came when "Home-coming" arrived with the St. Cloud game. Boy! what a battle and what a happy celebration it was. The gang upheld the honor of the school, and kept the goat for Mr. Jederman's company with a score of 12 to 6. And so ended a perfect season with a unanimous agree-ment that the Mason City game was great.
WOMAN'S ATHLETICS Ninety girls participated in one
or more sports during the fall term. Some of the sports the girls en-gaged in, were archery, swimming, bicycling, golf, and tennis. Of these girls the following engaged in at least three sports for the re-quired number of hours thus earn-ing the thirty points necessary with a "C" average for admission into W. A. A.: Dorothy Bylund, Luella Carpenter, Cyla Elliott, Lilletta Gurdes, Frieda Gerdt, Edna Harris, Goldie Harris, Dela Huren, Mar-garet Hopp, Mrs. V. Joachin, Dorothy Kater, Augusta Larkie, Gladys Lundin, Margaret Mc-Venus, Ruby Pacey, Vera Peterson, Hattie Southworth, Ida Spalding, Clara Venberg, Eleanor Hanson.
Thursday, December 12th, these girls were initiated into the associa-tion in the traditional manner.
Sports which the W. A. A. is opening for the participation of all women students in the winter quarter are basketball, interpreta-tive dancing, and skating. Other individual sports are swimming, hiking, tobogganing, skiing.
The organization also will spon-sor moon-light hikes, suppers, and sleigh rides.
In connection with emblems, W. A. A. has several small, circular purple "W's" which are placed on white felt; these emblems are pre-sented to the girls upon this admis-sion to the W. A. A.

VIOLIN CLASSES ORGANIZED Violin classes, under the direc-
tion of Miss Jeffrey, are in progress both in Phelps School and in the College. There are two beginning classes and one advanced class in the Phelps School. In the college there is one class in violin methods.
Miss Jeffrey has made the fol-lowing statements concerning the beginners' course:
"The material in this course is intended for beginners to acquire their very first playing ability through the use of very simple folk songs and tunes adapted and arranged in progressive order. These are to be taught largely by note, but the children soon learn to read with very little assistance. Each melody has in it one or more technical points which must be mastered by each pupil."
Musical tests were given to each pupil at the beginning of the year to determine his probable success. These tests consisted of tests for pitch, rhythm, and oral diction—reproducing vocally what he hears.
Progress of the pupils will be determined by effort put forth. At present both groups show promise of ability.
Art Department Head Resigns (Continued from page 1, column 1)
Miss Clark was born in Jamaica, the British West Indies, and that she received most of her education in Canada and in Warrensburg, Missouri. The latter is also her present home.
In speaking of the Warrensburg Teachers College, she mentioned the Beta Alpha, an honorary art fraternity. It is a comparatively new organization to promote greater interest in art work among teachers college students.
"My impression of this college," said Miss Clark, "is a very favor-able one. The students seem to have such an earnest, business-like attitude in going about their work. No one seems to be here just 'for the fun of it'."
"THE GOLDEN WIND" Early in 1929 Charles Boni, a
New York publisher, devised a plan whereby he could present the finest current novels to the Amer-ican - public at the amazing price of forty-two cents each. This he accomplished by adopting the European plan of publishing books in paper covers. So popular was his scheme with the people of American that soon afterward he was able to form a "Paper-Book-of-the-Month-Club" in which the members pay five dollars annually and for this fee receive twelve novels — one each month. These novels are chosen, from a group which have never before been published, by a distinguished board of editors consisting of Horrace Kallen, Lincoln Colcord, Padriac Colum, Evert Dean Martin, Louis Untermeyer, Rockwell Kent and Elmer Adler.
As his first book Mr. Boni pre-sented in September 1929 the Novel "The Golden Wind" by Takashi Ohta and Margaret Sper-ry. This book which recounts the wanderings of political exile of Japan in China is a hauntingly beautiful study. Though one is never led to feel that the characters are of his own race, and though the adventures recounted seem fan-tastic to the American mind, there is much to be gained in reading this story of a man who fights a losing fight to attain his ideal only to ulti-mately learn that his quest shall be eternal.
Throughout the story which re-counts the wanderings of its hero through the palace of a Mandarin, through the Chinese revolutionary army and through the bandit en-campments of Northern China, we are held fascinated. We are touched by the man's three pitifully tragic love affairs — all with women who, like himself are in bitter exile, and his final resignation to life as he finds it carries to us a mighty message of courage.
No person on reading the "Gold-en Wind" can remain untouched, and we venture to predict that he will be more tremendously moved than he has been in months. As a concluding remark we might say that no lover of exquisite literature, and certainly no lover of a fasci-nating story will miss an oppor-tunity to read "The Golden Wind."
"Was she shy when you asked her her age?"
"Yes, I guess about five or six years."
PATROL FIVE OF SCOUTS WINS SONG CONTEST
Fifty-one girls succeeded in pass-ing the Tenderfoot Tests and were accepted by the National Head-quarters as members of the Girl Scout Organization.
For investiture Wednesday eve-ning, November 20, the troop formed into a horseshoe, which is the symbol of good fortune. The Girl Scouts stood shoulder to shoulder to symbolize their corn-radeship.
As patrol by patrol were invested by their captain, Wilma Froelich ably assisted by the first lieuten-ant, Freda Gerdts, the sincerity and Scout-like demeanor or every-one present gave an unforgettable impressiveness to the ceremony.
The song contest which occured on the same evening added a de-lightful and less formal feature to the evening's work. Each of the nine patrols sang a song composed by its members. Patrol Five won the prize. A Girl Scout pin was given each member of the patrol. Patrols One and Six received honor-able mention.
STUDENTS' DIRECTORY IS INTERESTING BOOKLET The Winona State Teachers Col-
lege guidebook for 1929-30 has been printed and distributed to students of the college. This Book-let contains much valuable infor-mation for both old and new stu-dents. Rules, calendar announce-ments, schedules, songs, scholastic standards, the sportsmanship code, the point system, committees, offi-cers of organizations, the faculty and student directory are included.
THREE HUNDRED STUDENTS TO PLAY IN ORCHESTRA
BEFORE SUPERINTENDENTS A high-school orchestra of 300
players will appear on the program of the Department of Superin-tendence of the National Education Association at the annual meeting of the Department at Atlantic City, N. J., next February, according to an announcement made recently.
The players in this orchestra will be chosen from schools in every state in the United States. Mem-bership will be dependent upon ability, only those whose musician-ship is of a high order being selected for this honor.
Two hundred members of this or-chestra met in Interlochen, Michi-gan, last summer for the rehearsal of the music to be played on the program of the Atlantic City con-vention, under the direction of Joseph E. Maddy, head of the public school music department of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The programs of the orchestra will be broadcast from Atlantic City on the National Broadcasting Company chain, and the conven-tion concerts will be followed by concerts in the Metropolitan Opera House in Philadelphia, in Carnegie Hall in New York City, and in the new Constitution Hall in Washing-ton, D. C.
