The second annual interpretive reading contest sponsored by the Wenonah Players was held at Somsen Hall, Saturday, January 28, with nine high schools partici-pating. Two contestants who re-ceived judgings of excellent in their selections were Elizabeth Tolleson, Winona, and Jeanne Huettle of Mankato.
The other contestants and the high schools they represented are: Betty Anderson, St. Charles; Joyce Spittler, Galesville; Lela Garled, Wabasha; Betty Jane Maetzold, Red Wing; Moneta Resser, Lewis-ton; Lorraine Berggreen, Harmony; Ailsa Robinson, Trempealeau.
Dr. Lynch spoke at 9:15 a.m. on the "Aims and Objectives of the Contest." The purpose of her talk was to show the value of speech training to all students over the four-year high school period rather than the coaching of two or three students at a special time.
"In extemporaneous reading," said Dr. Lynch, "the relative abil-ity of each contestant to interpret literature and to make application of speech principles is tested. There-fore, it is hoped that better inter-pretation and better understanding of the theory and application of speech principles will be encour-aged. Because there is no coaching of individuals in the contest selec-tions," Dr. Lynch continued, "and each depends on his own judgment in his preparation; self-reliance and independence are fostered."

WINONAN Sponsors Literary Contest
It is the general opinion that there is a great deal of literary talent in the college which never has an oppor-tunity to express itself since the WINONAN is chiefly a news publication. In order to provide recognition for those who have talent in writing, the WINONAN is de-voting an extra page in its next issue to strictly literary material.
With the idea of encourag-ing contributions the paper is sponsoring a contest, the winning numbers of which will be published in the March 31 issue. Such types of ma-terial as short stories, poems, essays, editorials, character and dramatic sketches will be acceptable. All entries must be brief. Contestants will please submit their contribu-tions marked "Contest ma-terial" to room 205 by four o'clock March 14. Judges will be chosen and winners announced in each type.
Barrere-Britt Concert Enthusiastically Received
The return to Winona in concert of Georges Barrere, world-famous flutist, and his music ensemble, the "Concertino," was enthusiastically received by a near capacity audi-ence at the college, February 6.
The program opened with the "Concerto, a Quattro in D Minor No. 1" by Handel with Mr. Bar-rere, flutist; Mr. Elzon, violinist; Horace Britt, cellist; and Jerome Rappoport, pianist. "The Sere-nade in D Minor Opus 25" by Beethoven played by Mr. Barrere, Mr. Elzon, and Mr. Clawson, violist, followed.
Mr. Barrere's flute solo climaxed the evening's entertainment. He played "Fantasia" by Faure which was used as an examination piece at the graduation "Concours" of 1899 at the Paris Conservatoire when Mr. Barrere was graduated.
The program closed with three dance numbers played by the en-tire group: "La plus ave lente" by Debussy; a Russian dance "Gopak" taken from Moussorgsky's opera; a brilliant Spanish composition "La Jota Aragonese" by Camille Saint-Saens.
Mrs. Pendleton Gives Concert at Chapel
Mrs. Margaret Dobson Pendel-ton, an accomplished pianist, who is a student at W.S.T.C., gave a concert at chapel Monday, Jan-uary 30th.
Mrs. Pendleton is a member of the professional honorary musical fraternity, Sigma Alpha Iota, which is the oldest and largest musical fraternity in the world. Its hono-rary roll includes practically all the great women musicians in the world. Thurlow Liewrance, the composer of "By the Waters of Minnetonka," presented her with the medal of artistry.
Mrs. Pendleton has had exten-sive musical training and experi-ence. She studied at Southwestern College in Kansas, Northwestern College at Evanston, Ill., and under Arne Oldberg in Chicago. She gave several recitals with the faculty at Northwestern, sang in the a cap-pella Choir, and has done concert work in Chicago and over the middle west. She has taught piano, voice, and violin for a number of years, and acted as Supervisor of Music in Kansas schools for two years.
Her performance was enthusi-astically received by the students and the applause suggested a desire for more.
Complaints have been made concerning the noise of the typewriter in the Publications Room. Please remember that the typewriter in that room is for the use of the WENONAH and WINONAN staffs only!
Miss Redmond Added to Faculty Staff
Miss Blanid Redmond, new mathematics instructor in the col-lege, began her work here January 27.
Miss Redmond, whose home is at Lanesboro, graduated from the two year course of our college in 1927 after which she spent three
years teaching. For the next two years she studied at the University of Minnesota, completing her work for a bachelor's degree with a major in mathematics. Periods of three years each were then spent at Tracy and Kasson in educational work.
During the summers of 1936, '37, and '38 and for the past four months, she has been at Columbia. She completed her work for the master's degree there on the very day of her departure for Winona.
Mr. Mac Donald Advises New Ulm in Program
of Guidance During the month of November
Mr. MacDonald, Director of Per-sonnel, spent two or three days in New Ulm where he acted as ad-visor in the guidance program that is being set up in that city. Among the things he recommended was that a position of Director of Per-sonnel be created and that some-one be secured to devote the major part of his time to guidance work in the New Ulm High School.
Thomas Pfaender took over this position on January 23. On Feb-ruary 1, Mr. Pfaender spent the entire day at Winona conferring with Mr. MacDonald, Dr. Galli-igan, and others concerning the program that has been developed.
During the fifth period Mr. Pfaender showed a number of lan-tern slides that he has made to demonstrate posture in the physi-cal education program. These pic-tures were shown in the auditorium to the guidance class and a number of students who are majoring in physical education. Mr. Pfaender was introduced by Dr. Galligan.
College Prominent in Curriculum Laboratory Plans
Winona State Teachers College is one of the first in the state to make plans for a curriculum labo-ratory.
"The curriculum laboratory or workshop is perhaps the most re-cent development in the educa-tional field and library service," said Mr. Simmers, who attended the meeting of the University Study Center last summer at which time the Curriculum Society for the state of Minnesota was formed. The laboratory includes everything needed for use in solving curriculum problems in the elementary and secondary schools.
The new library provides excel-lent facilities, a room having been set aside in the building to which instructors, students in the college, superintendents, and principals from southeastern Minnesota can gather to obtain help in solving curriculum problems.
The curriculum laboratory con-ference held at the college in Jan-uary featured Dr. Rockwell, state commissioner of education, and Dr. Peik, of the University of Minne-sota. Dr. Peik spoke on current curriculum problems and set forth his ideas of how curricula should be organized. Dr. Rockwell spoke on curricula for the state of Minne-sota in which he emphasized the necessity of teaching all phases of today's problems so as to give a clearer understanding of life as it is being lived today.
Miss Clark Gives Talk on Visual Aids at University
Last Thursday, Friday, and Sat-urday Miss Ella Clark attended the Visual Education Institute at the University of Minnesota. Miss Clark, who teaches the Visual Edu-cation course at the University, was asked to discuss and to demon-strate uses of some of the material appearing in the Winona State Teachers College bulletin "The Use of Visual Aids in Teaching" which she recently prepared. This was the second Visual Education Insti-tute to be held in this part of the United States. Attending it were people from Minnesota and neigh-boring states as well as Colorado, New York, and Washington, D.C. The three day program consisted of talks, discussions, and actual classroom demonstrations of uses of visual aids in teaching tech-niques representing various sub-jects and different grade levels.
A number of classroom teachers were also present to discuss their own contributions to an exhibit of visual aids which they had used effectively in their teaching.
Tour Arranged By Committee
Week's Trip Includes Eastern Points
An all-expense college tour to New York and Washington has been arranged for the week of June 7 to June 14 by a committee of students and faculty members. The total cost per person will be sixty-three dollars. A competent escort of the Milwaukee Railroad will accompany the party during the entire trip.
Leaving Winona Wednesday af-ternoon, June 7, the party will arrive Thursday morning for a sight seeing trip in Niagara Falls. It will reach New York that eve-ning and transfer to the Tudor Hotel. Friday's program will in-clude a sight seeing trip of the city. The rest of the day and the two days following will be open for visiting the World's Fair.
The trip to Washington will be made Sunday evening. With co-operation of our representatives, Monday will be devoted to a visit to Congress. Following a tour of Washington on Tuesday, including luncheon at Mount Vernon, the party will leave for Winona, arriv-ing on Wednesday afternoon, June 14.
It will be possible to take the trip and attend the first session of summer school as well.
A similar tour conducted from this college in 1932 under the di-rection of Leslie Johnson and Miss Bartsch was very successful. Be-cause of the added attraction of the World's Fair this year, an all-college committee of three faculty members and three students de-cided they would do well to sponsor such a tour.
Caryl Spriestersbach was elected manager and Donna Kohnke secre-tary. The details are to be carried out by students under faculty supervision.
"Rah-Rahlogy" Is Hit Production
With a rousing finale of "Rah Rahlogy," an original composition by students, the curtain fell on a smash-hit production — the Die-No-Mo Show — Friday, February, 10. Under the direction of Dewey Storti, Rah-Rahlogy proved to be an outstanding review of student talent.
A never-to-be-forgotten number was "Moon Beam Vale" patterned after "Moon River" — the soft, soothing strains of a master hand at the organ, Agnes Bard; the melodious voices of the "Moon Beam Trio"; the professional read-ing by Henry Duel. "That alone was worth the money," said one enthusiastic townsman.

Should Our Parties Last Longer ?
Far too often the students "just get started" at our school dances before "Home Sweet Home" is played, compelling many to go to night-clubs to finish up the evening. As they are now, our school parties are a good place to commence the evening rather than to spend the evening.
It seems unfair to condemn the students for in-habiting these places. After all, the dances come only once a month and when they do get started they are cut so short that students feel a need for further entertainment. Let us analyze the situation. The party starts at eight, but nobody comes that early because he either has to work or requires more time to get ready. Therefore it is usually about nine before the crowd collects. If they expect to get a place in the night-clubs, they must leave early. The result is that the number begins to dwindle from 10:30 on. Now if the party should continue until 12 o'clock or 12:30 students would not make plans to go elsewhere to finish off. The party itself would be sufficient.
In some of the other Teachers Colleges in the state, regular dances start at 9 and end at 12, 12:30, or 1:00 o'clock. The students then go home com-pletely satisfied and ready for bed. Could not this be our solution also?
Stop! Consider Yourself! Life today is moving at a much faster rate of speed
than ever before because of new and improved meth-ods of transportation, manufacturing and communi-cation. As is only sensible, we become a part of this new system and go with it easily. But we must re-member that we need to stop and take time for relaxation and personal inventory the more fre-quently.
Too many of us rush about, frantically trying to do a host of things. We are always in a hurry; we become unnaturally tense; and finally the world seems to be a mad and chaotic place where life can be nothing but futile.
STOP! Take time out to rest and think. Decide upon those things that are important and hold them fast. Determine your place in society and don't be led down a by-path. Remember that high-speed machinery must frequently be stopped and com-pletely examined. This is even more true of the human body which is vulnerable to a much greater degree than is a machine.
Poor Abraham Lincoln ! Popular sentiment, looking at
Mary Todd Lincoln, invariably sighs: "Poor Abraham Lincoln!"
At the root of that sigh is popu-lar sentiment's image of Ann Rut-ledge, the golden-haired girl to whom young Abraham waved good-bye when he rode off to the Black-haWk War. It thinks, too, of Mary Owens — accomplished, handsome, poised — for whom Lincoln later had an attachment. And then sentiment thinks of the woman he married.
Lincoln's wife is the most libelled lady in American history.
Suppose she was plain, practical, sharp-tongued. She had reason to be. Lincoln was hopelessly thought-less. One day Miss Owens and he were walking with a mutual friend who was carrying a baby. The baby was "large and fat and heavy and inclined to be cross." They walked over a mile, part of the way lying up a steep hill, but never once did Lincoln offer to carry the baby.
If he was like that when he was courting, what would he be like to his wife? We may be sure Mrs. Lincoln, brought up in a fine old family where good manners were habitual, was discouraged more than once.
Abraham Lincoln had a mighty intellect. He had a lofty mind and a humane heart. And yet he was rough and uncouth at home.
Lincoln knew that he often grieved his wife. He knew, too, that she did not love him any the less because of his unpolished ways, just as he realized that she could not be expected to love him the more. There was between them an understanding that is rare and beautiful. Lincoln, who respected his wife and knew himself, would be the last one in the world to appreciate popular sentiment as it sentimentalizes: "Poor Abraham Lincoln!"
Munini Poto John Wachs, class of '37, coach
at Eyota, and Luther McCown, '36, coach at Truman, brought their basketball teams to Winona February 3, to play the Teachers College Reserves.
George Bruegger, basketball coach at Elgin, brought his team here to play the Teachers College Reserves on Saturday, February 11.
H. C. Frisby, '28, Superintendent at Ivanhoe, has been chosen to rate the basketball teams in his district this season.
Bertha Dwelle recently became Mrs. Joseph R. Miller and resides in Minneapolis.
Leon Steffen has been elected to teach in the opportunity room at the new Jefferson School in Wi-nona.
Gudrun Muller has been elected to teach third grade in Waseca.
Esther Groth, class of '22, is teaching in the East High School, Sioux City, Iowa. She received her bachelor's degree at the Uni-versity of Minnesota after leaving Winona and her M.A. in Civic Education at Columbia in 1936.
Eulogy: To Friendship I was born; then we were friends.
You taught me many things Of knives and forks, digits and
Of prayer. First you held me in your arms,
Then you took me by the hand. And all the time I was a child
Who bucked and laughed and Screamed and cried.
And you could too!
You taught me many things, Of moods and fancies, whimsy
And despair. But we were friends,
And all the time I grew To lean on you.
I grew, but your growth never came, And soon I found myself too tall For your support . . . And when you bucked and laughed And screamed and cried . . . All this time you were a child . You didn't know the day You spoke of my cold heart, Was not the day Two friends were split apart.
Yet there will always be a bond, Though none may ever see . . . And I'll remember what has been When I was born, and we were friends And the things you taught to me.
B. H.
If Wishes Were Horses It seems as though quite a number of students
aren't satisfied with what they're getting around here. For example, a certain Barbara K. suggests we have elevators — or, escalators for that matter, and why not I say? — in the where abouts of the library.
Another thing, by four o'clock in the day most of us are just too tired for anything, and we certainly should dispense with a seventh hour class, or 6th hour, or 5th, or 4th, or 3rd, or 2nd, and all the rest of them. Ralph S. says, "Give me more time!" Now, I can't give Ralph more time, because he already has a girl, but perhaps he can find some jailbird with plenty of time. Can we help you out on that one, Ralph?
To get down to more serious things, though, we might have more benches on our campus — for social contacts, etc., you know, or clocks in the classrooms, or bells that work, or readable numbers on the doors. We might have more Conference periods — with less conferences — says Adolf B. And it is "obvious," say the girls that we need more boys — tall ones! As for lockers, well, the three Musketeers, Dagny S., Carol B., and Barbara K., suggest they be bigger and better, and with lights in, please. How about a little cleaning equipment girls, for the homey feeling.
Leetle Caesar, or Ronnie J. says "I want somebody with their grammar done!" I hope I'm not giving you away, Ronnie, cuz that wouldn't be nice, would it? Avis N. would like a tunnel to Spanton's, —but I say why not just hold our classes at Spanton's, and cut expenses, eh? Abigail C. offers a simpler suggestion by advising the school give free lunches. Mary D. wants "more entertainment in the class-rooms," and more concentrated lessons (in other words, more work for the teacher and less work for the students). In this system, all two-year students could graduate in one year and all degree students could graduate in two. Cheaper, too. "We need easy chairs in the classrooms. We should work for a davenport apiece, anyway," says one student. Dick R. suggests we have more jam sessions.
Another intelligent girl (name restricted) suggests that because of the many colds and rundown con-ditions in the wintertime that we have wine in the drinking fountains. We might have a radio in the social room, and another social room, and another radio. All in all I suggest a W.P.A. schedule. Do you suppose we could work on it (or in spite of it)?
Open Forum Dear Editor:
There seems to be considerable criticism of the American educa-tional system. Many capable edu-cators have called it impractical, insisting that little of what is of-fered for absorbtion can be mean-ingful in the modern working world.
In the defense of this semi-clas-sical education, it can be said, I suppose, that a sincere attempt is being made to graduate personali-ties who will tend to remove the emphasis from a four-dollar-a-day America to an 80-pleasant-thought-day America.
But with educational philoso-phies and systems in flux, students wonder as they wander from class to class what their teachers are trying to make of them. They recognize a certain variation. Here is an instructor of the older school, who fills them to the brim with facts; here is one for whom facts are secondary; sound social opinion is in the forefront; here is one who preaches an old idealism in a mod-ern industrial world; here is one who emphasizes skills; and so on.
To have this diversion of tactics is stimulating, but some of them may prove by experience to be misleading and ill-founded.
For this reason it might be en-lightening to have instructors pre-sent their philosophy of education, their construction of what benefit their knowledge should be to us as students.
We're not thinking of the second-ary instructor in geometry, who opened his course with, "This work will aid you in clear thinking." We'd like to have a broader state-ment which sets forth, in truth, a philosophy of life, into which the instructor fits discreetly his or her courses.
We do not want attitudes which are lacking in reference. We want a statement based on the common occurences of an individual's life.
This statement might take the form of a class lecture. But a written one would be better, for then the argumentative progres-sion always is clearer. Individual manuscripts from instructors may be asking much for the returns in-volved, or is it possible to conceive a group statement of a philosophy of education?
— A Student.
Problems of School Paper Discussed by Miss Leake
Miss Edna Leake spoke to the WINONAN staff at their regular meeting on Wednesday, February 1. In her discussion, she outlined the method to use in teaching children how to write articles for a school paper. She stressed the need of having a regular period each week to teach certain facts and terms in journalism.
She also gave from her own ex-perience practical suggestions that have proved helpful in organizing and publishing a school paper. These dealt with the procedure for selection of staff members, fre-quency of publication, and the ethical and practical problems that arise.

Exhibit of Foreign, American Dolls Shown by
Class The class in Kindergarten Tech-
nics is sponsoring an exhibit of dolls. This has been arranged in the wall case near room 235, Som-sen Hall. Among the American dolls may be seen a group of Effan-bee Dolls, former play things of some of our present freshmen. A second group is made up of dolls which were played with by the parents of students now in college. Dolls recommended for today's children comprise a third group.
Among the foreign visitors are found dolls from Lapland and Fin-land, from Russia and China, from Bohemia and Austria, from Hol-land, Switzerland and Scotland. A doll from the Spreewald, the Venice of Germany, was contributed by Miss Dallmann. Two little dolls in native dress were brought by Miss Miller from the Ukraine.
A little German family of eight persons includes grandparents, par-ents, children, uncle and aunt.
Contrasts in the manufacture of dolls are seen in the doll possessing real hair and the finished toy sol-dier made from a single clothes pin.
Here is the beginning of geog-raphy and of many other interests.
Coo Coo Colyum Campion — "Make your peace,
bozo, I'm about to shoot you." Stranger — "How come?" "I've always said I'd shoot any-
one who looked like me." "Do I look like you?" "Yes." "Go ahead and shoot."
I happened to be in the studio when one of the seniors got his pictures. "I don't like these photos at all," quoth he. "I look like an ape."
The photographer favored him with a glance of lofty disdain. "You should have thought of that before you had them taken," was his reply as he turned back to work.
A man whose trousers bagged badly at the knees was standing on a corner waiting for a bus. Brok-ken, who happened to be passing by, stopped and watched him with great interest for two or three minutes. At last he said, "Well, why don't ya jump?"
I went ice skating the other night. I didn't mind the people laughing, but I got sore when the ice began making cracks.

Where Is St. Valentine? There are two saints who seem
to have been designed for our pleasure. Though receiving no re-turn, they come year after year with their bag of surprises and impart a very delightful touch to our everyday world.
These fine saints are Nicholas and Valentine.
The picture of the former (all red and white and smiles) is a familiar one, but judging from the cards that come and go each Feb-ruary 14th, it would seem that St. Valentine is best known by proxy.
To thrill eagerly palpitating hearts, valentines carry pictures of handsome Don Juans and unbe-lievably beautiful blondes. Those intended for the younger ones show the youthful counterparts of these. There are dimpled cupids, too.
But where is Saint Valentine? We open brilliant heart-shaped
candy boxes. We see a slip: "With love and kisses, hoping to make you my Mrs." We dash to one side this poetic levity, but in vain do we search for even a sketch of the saint in whose honor we (presum-ably) eat the delicious chocolates.
Something must be done about it or the origin of Saint Valentine's Day will be obscured by a rosy haze of hearts just as the signifi-cance of Hallowe'en has been bur-ied beneath an avalanche of stolen doorsteps and tipped-over build-ings.
Model Houses Built By Fine Arts Class
The fine arts class, under the direction of Miss Crossman, has arranged an exhibit of miniature model homes, as pictured by Life Magazine, in room 8.
Eight houses, originally designed by famous American architects, for families with incomes ranging from $2000 to $10,000 yearly have been landscaped. Comprehensive floor plans of each house are also in-cluded.
Karl Grimm, a nephew of Walter Grimm, conceived the idea of making the miniature homes from plans drawn by architects and his project was sold to the Life Maga-zine. Mr. Grimm is a graduate of Purdue, and has a master's degree from the Wharton School of Fi-nance in Philadelphia.
Imitation grass has been used for lawns and cotton for snow in the two winter settings. Drive-ways are made of pebbles or sponges; sidewalks of cork or sponge. Lawn furniture, tennis courts, lily pools, and rock gardens add realistic touches.

I think that I shall never see A Prof. who thinks great things of

flunk!" Moral — So why study? Which reminds me: There's a

Carmen Anderson and Jayne Miller are having a feud over a certain blond, curly headed tenor—the Martins and the Coys had a feud once too, but it didn't get them any place.

Stumbling around in the dark at Die-No-Mo rehearsals the other night, I found a lot of interesting things. Fer instance; We saw Mr. Boots showing one of the dance groups some of the latest dance steps. P.S. He used one of your copyrighted movements, Mr. Jed-erman.
We saw Libby looking scared to death and sitting two feet away from Janet Foster in, of all things, a love scene. Has the fella no eyes or is the vision of Bev. in the way?
The Busse Trio's rendition of Proschai is so beautiful that it sends cold shivers up and down your spine.
We wonder why Gayle Graham wanted a Leopard skin. She kept running around hunting for one, obviously pretty worried. Imagine the leopard turning out to be Kenny Turner. Some men are thin and jittery, And some are short and fat; And some men never look at me, And that's the end of that.
And this is the end of this —Bye till next time. — M. F.
Players Sponsor Reading Continued from page 1, column 1
The readings were divided into two divisions: poetry, which was read at 10:30 a.m., and prose, which was read at 2:30 p.m. Each contestant drew two selections an hour before they were to be read.
The two winners received as awards "The Standard Book of British and American Verse," with a preface by Christopher Morley. The judges of the contest were Dr. Murphy, Miss Ella Clark, and Miss Goetsch, Junior High School English instructor.
Following the contest a tea was held in the clubrooms for coaches and contestants.
The members of the contest corn-mittee were: Bernice Sunde, Chair-man; Ruth Koenig, Marie Gernes, and Charles Balcer.
Assemblies to Feature Student Talent
As an outgrowth of the wishes of students, the Assembly Commit-tee has organized a plan whereby student talent will appear in as-sembly programs. These programs are given as a means of incentive to students to prepare their talents and abilities.
Mr. Harlem Moen, Milan, the first in this series, gave a violin recital, January 23.
No definite program has been arranged to date, although there are a number of students now pre-paring for future performances.
Mr. Dorwin Zappe is Student Organizer.
Faculty Portraits MR. JEDERMAN
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a series of sketches of faculty members.
"War is ridiculous and stupid," says Mr. Frederick Jederman of the history department. "But out of chaos comes order. What a pity we cannot or will not build more from orderly planning."
Of his own experience he says, "I spent 13 months in service in France. I was studying for a degree at the University of Nebraska and writing a book on literature when the war came along and spoiled my plans along with a million other people's. Before the war I spent four years teaching in rural schools and at administrative work. I've built windmills and plowed corn and done nearly everything under the sun. I'll bet I could go out now and plow with the best of them. I jerked sodas for ten days once, too, but I didn't enjoy it. Nor have I ever been inclined to brag about it, as at that time such a job was meant to be filled by "dudes" and not able-bodied young men.
The Jederman family originated in Germany. Among their members have been music critics, engineers, ministers, teachers, and officials in the consular and other government service. Mr. Jederman's father, Mr. Albert Jederman, served in the Prussian army in the Franco-Prussian War. He was in government service, but in the 1880's a spirit of adventure lured him to America and the west, where he pre-empted a homestead near Holzoke, Colorado, in 1892.
Mr. Jederman's mother, finely reared in an aristocratic family, made a gallant pioneer and mother. She gave him his love of art and music.
From Colorado, the family moved to Bertrand, Nebraska, where Mr. Jederman attended grade and high school. After finishing courses given at Teachers College in Peru, Nebraska and the University of Nebraska, he attended King's College and University College in Lon-don, with attendance at lectures at Oxford. "The idea to visit England came to me suddenly," he mentioned, "and in about fifteen minutes I was on my way."
Besides traveling in France and England, he has covered much of Italy, Scotland, Wales, Canada, Mexico, and forty of our states.
His quick decision to attend King's College is characteristic of the man, who moves with unexpected suddenness. His speech is short and clipped, punctuated with epigrams of Teutonic bluntness. "I enjoy everything I do," he says. "I like all sports, but especially ice skating and walking. I like a well-rounded person — one who enjoys solitude, but who likes people, too. I have a passion for order. I want every explanation to start at the beginning and follow through to its logical and proper ending. I like to collect — books, stamps, — anything."
From his cheerful mien it appears that he gets a kick out of the big show — life. "When I get low, I wear a loud checked shirt," he laughed; "or else I have a fight with Mr. Boots. Just a verbal one, you under-stand. Instead of using our fists we simply say, 'Consider yourself knocked down'."
Cagers Down Moorhead 49-44 to Take Lead
In Conference The Winona Teachers blasted
their way to the top of the Confer-ence standings by defeating Moor-head 49-44. The standings up to and including the Moorhead game are as follows:
Won Lost % Winona 4 1 .800 Mankato 4 2 .666 St. Cloud 4 3 .571 Bemidji 2 3 .400 Moorhead 2 5 .285 Duluth 1 3 .250
With the hard driving Captain Andrejek again sparking his team, the Peds defeated a fine passing Moorhead quint, but at no time did they have a lead large enough to allow any let-up. Art's starting running mate, Bill Kazrowski, fol-lowed in the individual scoring garnering 8 points. Moorhead's scoring was evenly divided with Putney and Kellet getting 11 and Preston 10.
Moorhead put on a snappy scor-ing drive late in the fourth quarter and closed the gap to 45-42 before Brokken connected in a pass from Spencer after stalling tactics brought the defense out. Preston and Baesler each potted short shots to end the scoring and the game.
Ralph Spencer fouled three times early in the tilt, retired in favor of Leroy Walker, who played nice ball. Spencer returned when Moor-head threatened late in the game. Grudem, playing very good defen-sive ball took his usual departure with 4 personals.
Volleyball Tournament Starts February 20
With the completion of the largest intramural basketball tour-nament ever to he staged in the college, plans for a volleyball, ping-pong, and badminton tournament in the near future have been made by the Intramural Board.
A round robin volleyball tourna-ment will begin February 20. Games will be played in the T. C. gym two days a week and in the library gym two days a week. The high-light of the tournament will be the faculty team. Careful boys, they may be a little slow and have greater avoirdupois, but they aren't a set-up. Warning: Don't get in front of one of Mr. Boots' slashing serves.
Friday of each week will be de-voted to an elimination badminton tournament. Two groups will be organized, namely a beginners group and an experienced group.
To round out the program a ping-pong tournament will be staged simultaneously with the other two
If time permits, kittenball and horseshoe tournaments will be or-ganized.

THE WINONAN
Peds Win Over Duluth, Keep Conference Lead
Winona Peds Defeat Mankato Indians, 53-52
In Overtime Thriller In one of the most thrilling con-
tests a crowd ever yelled itself hoarse through, the Winona War-riors captured top place in the con-ference ratings by nosing out Man-kato in an overtime, 53-52 on January 27. The regular game ended at 43-all.
Matching basket for basket, the teams struggled to a 26-all dead-lock at the half. The Peds had a seven-point lead to overcome in the last frame. With but one minute to go, and Winona fighting a 4-point lead, the Spencer brothers tied the game with a basket each.
In the hectic overtime period, the spectators were in a frenzy. Mankato scored five points. Then two quick baskets by Andrejek, one for Eddie Spencer, two gift tosses by our captain, and one re-taliating free throw by Knoll and we found ourselves in the lead 51 to 50. As Ralph Spencer left the floor accompanied by well deserved cheers for an excellent game, he was replaced by "Squeek" Walker. Walker slipped through and con-nected for what later proved to be the winning basket. Lopata im-mediately countered with a long one.
ry, who amassed a total of 14 points, the Redmen of St. Mary's handed the Teachers a sound trounc-ing to take the lead in the city series. Following closely on the heels of Barry for scoring honors was Captain Art Andrejek, who garnered 12 of the Warriors' 26 points. Art received 13 chances from the free throw mark, and sank 8 of them.
The score at the half was 20-15 in favor of St. Mary's, and gave indications of a good second half, but all such indications became of no significance as Barry paced the red-shirted cagers to 28 points while the Fisker-Five failed to con-nect. The game ended witn a score of 47-26, the Peds appearing much the inferior team. However as the time for the next encounter rolls around there need be no feeling that the city championship is packed away in cold storage. It is the opinion of many that the Peds are capable of much better ball than was displayed in the first match.
The reserve squad of W.S.T.C. deserves honorable mention for defeating a fine squad of St. Mary's reserves in an exciting fourth quar-ter, 32-30. Foss led our reserves with seven field goals and a gift shot to score one less than half the total points. Ball scored 12 points for the vanquished to take second place honors in the contest.

•:* Despite the loss of the services of Captain Art Andrejek, the Wi-nona cagers found enough scrap Saturday night to again come from behind in a tough game and remain on top of the Northern Conference standings. The game ended 35 all, much to the misfortune of Duluth, who lost three players on fouls during the overtime. One was Captain Cerkvenik, who gained Duluth's scoring honors of the eve-ning with a total of 13. Field goals during the overtime by Kaczrow-ski, R. Spencer, and Grudem and a free throw by Walker showed well in the final analysis against Du-luth's lone free throw.
The first quarter ended 9-2 for Duluth. Winona went on a scoring spree the second quarter to tighten the score to 19-18 at the half. Though Winona never was ahead of Duluth during the game, they managed to make the last minute one of the times they were tied, thus forcing the game into an over-time which produced the desired results.
Keen Competition In W. A. A. Tournament Hi-dee hi, hi-dee ho; Come on,
girls, let's go! Yes, and by the looks of things
Ethel Meyer's and Virginia Robb's basketball teams are doing just that. Ethel's team after getting off to a slow start has finally been victorious in the last two games. That means that both teams have won two games and tied one. Vir-ginia's team is aided considerably by that "Mutt and Jeff" — Fisher and Kurzweg — combination, but the Meyer gang is out to stop the best of them. All in all, it's a good test.

his swing band, Henry Burton's —that twosome on the sofa, sweetly singing "Tea for Two" — the March of Time, again in the com-pelling voice of Hank Duel — the antics of those comedians extra-ordinary, Pee Wee and Polley —just just to mention a few of the num-bers that made up an enjoyable evening.
Coming from behind in the last few minutes of play, the Ford V Eights defeated the Oldsmobiles 23-21 to capture the Intramural championship, when the Austins a team which had previously been tied with the V Eights in first place, were upset 29-25 by the Inter-nationals.
Facing defeat with but five minutes remaining and four points be-hind, the Fords set to work in earnest. On three successive long shots by Davidson, who starred for the winners, they took the lead and Captain Gerald Peterson then "iced" the game when he drove in hard from the side to sink a short shot.
Getting off to a slow start in their first game by being defeated rather easily by the Austins, the Fords continued to improve with each game, suffering but one more set back at the hands of the Dodges. Combin-ing a driving style of play with fine teamwork and accurate shooting, they proved their rights to championship honors by the truly cham-pionship class of ball which they displayed in their final drive to victory.
Outstanding as was the play of the Peterson Five, of scarcely less merit was that of their rivals; and because the play of the entire league,
general, has been of such a high standard, it is difficult to dismiss the rest of the teams without mak-ing special mention of the notable features and outstanding players of each. However, mention of only a few will have to suffice.
The Austins, led by "Stu" Farmer, which though handicapped by the loss of J. Clawson, finished undisputed in second place, and "Scoop" Dettloff's Oldsmobiles, a team heavily favored for cham-pionship honors which in its de-feats showed championship caliber in its fine display of sportsmanship, should be mentioned.
