Miss Youmans is chairman of the Home Economics department, now on leave to do graduate work at the University of Illinois. the Prom and taking care of the Tau Gam bulletin board manage to squeeze their way into her tight schedule. An English major with French and History minors, Alice plans on a teaching career. At times, a doctorate in English appears in the rather hazy future. Alice's prediction for next year's Iris: "It will be quite different." Pressed further, she replied, "No comment until next spring. I'll be closer to graduation then!" Ted Jeske, a Three Lakes sophomore, has been appointed to take over the books for the Iris during the coming year. Enrolled in Letters and Science at present, the new Iris Business Manager plans to go into the Secondary division at the beginning of his Junior year. He is working on a double major - History and Geography- and a Social Science minor, which tells us where Ted's main interests lie. Other interests, less profound, but more fun, are swimming, fishing, hunting and tennis. Ted has sung in the Men's Glee club, is a member of Newman club, and is currently working out with the tennis team. President E. B. Fred of the University of Wisconsin will be the main speaker at the annual commencement exercises to be held in the esc auditorium on Sunday, June 5, at 2 p.m. To open the program, the college band, directed by Dr. Hugo D.

Hansen, Presidept From Our President To The Seniors I THE POINTER FOR THE MEMORY This is the time of year for reminiscence. Students look back with pride at credits fulfilled, instructors look back with pride at demands met and the Pointer also looks back. This is our sixteenth and last issue, an ac~ complishin:ent that we look back at ~ith no little surprise. All told, about 20,?00 Pomters have rolled off the presses this past school year, providing enlightenment for alums, irritation for faculty and scratch paper for students. . Truly this has been a noble experiment. We have tried many things thiS year in this publication, some of which we would just as soon remember and many others that we would just as soon forget. . Th.is year's Pointer has never fallen below six pages and has many times nsen to the heights of eight. {Whoever paid for this, we thank you!) We have run more pictures than previous Pointers, thanks to the efforts of Messrs. Kosmicki, Hopkins. and Specht. We'll admit that some of the pictures weren't too good but when you borrow from the Iris what can you expect? We've tried to inject some humor into the paper periodically and some of you have vigorously questioned our definition of that word humor. We sponsored a Mystery Man contest that met with overwhelming disinterest, but we enjoyed ourselves. We induced several fictitious people by the names of Beamish, Fritchie, Tichbourne, Osgood, etc. into enrolling here at school and then abused them terribly, for which we humbly apologize. Editorially, we came out fervently for student mailboxes and we still think they would be a gift from heaven. We also provided m~ny a subject for a theme when we "unjustly" attacked those able CSC' ers - the suitcase students. Unlike Abou Ben Adhem, may their tribe decrease. We would also like to take credit for the building of the new library, but we can't. This is also "thank you" time, and we certainly owe plenty to many. We'll just make a general sweeping vote of appreciation to Miss Glennon for keeping us from going off the deep end too many times, to Mr. Anderson for helping us hock tables on which to distribute Pointers, to President Hansen for ~is unfailing cooperation, to Mrs. Pfiffner for her good advice, to those reliable men at Worzallas, notably George, for assembling the "finished" product, and to every one on the Pointer staff for· their indispensable help and patience. Well, we've gotten ourselves all sentimental and before we get too choked up {lynched) we'll close with a rousing thank you for everyone, from everyone on the Pointer staff down to, and including, the lowliest member {the editor.) ESG. '2965 Calle Noguerra Santa Barbara California April 29, 1955 Dear Editor: Many times I have almost written to tell you how thrilled I am each time the Pointer shows up in our mail-box. It's like getting a long letter from a friend. You and your staff produce a splendid paper, y(),Jlr photography is clear and .well repro<!u rod , and the subject mntt er very meaty.

But when one comes from a family of six children, it's a good thing to have such an attribute. This family (or miniature convention) consists of three sisters and two brothers, Ginny being the oldest of the girls. Her sisters include an eleven-year-old and two twenty-year olds. Two? "That's right," says Ginny. "My twin sisters are quite an addition to the family." Ginny, a senior and Home Ec major, is looking forward to teaching i11. her home town. "I can hardly Letters To The Editor • • The L0 ng, cu rve d wa Ik l j I I ·--1 wait," she smiled. "Every time I go 'in the Home Ec room at my old high school I want to change 'everything to suit me." Ginny's list of extracurricular activities includes Home Ec club, of which she was president, Tau Gamma Beta, Newman club, and Pointer. A little more personal list is: Brown eyes, brown hair ("That I can't keep short") height- 5'2%", age- 21. As Ginny puts it, she has approached esc from every angle. She's lived every direction from school in her four years, except up and down. Presently she resides in an apartment witl1 three other girls, two of whom are also Home Ec majors. Delores McLees, the black sheep of the apartment, feels left out because she is the only one who isn't in Home Ec. "We manage to do most of the cooking," answered Ginny," but Delores gets her share of cleaning to do." Ginny is also quite a familiar face around the library where she works during the school year. However, the summer finds her employed in ·Antigo. "But," she adds, "I really like Stevens Point. It's sure been a lot of fun. The last sentence I said without thinking ef the trials and tribulations." Ginny's interests range from playing baseball, to singing, to pounding on tb.e piano (for her own enjoyment). But Ginny says, "I like to do anything that's fun."

Please forgive this ·reporter). There is no need for further introduction to our faculty familiar face for this week. His good humor and chuckle are well known and remembered on our campus. Mr. Steiner is a native of Wisconsin. He and Mrs. Steiner have traveled quite extensively, but Mr. Steiner said, "I can say without hesitation that I like Wisconsin best." The Stei- ners have included most of the United· States in their travels. "We've been to the East and West coast and Canada, but the farthest south we've reached, so far, is Virginia. We both enjoy traveling very much," Mr. Steiner commented. When Central State was Stevens Point Normal, Mr. Steiner was a student here. He has done his graduate work at the University of Wisconsin and at Harvard. When he came to our school as head of the history department, it consisted of two members. "We had only one class in History 116 at that time," Mr. Steiner recalled. "Next fall we will have nine of them. We have added many fine members to our department." Until two years ago, Mr. Steiner was ·also Dean of Men. "My jobs were just growing too big for me," he said.

Co)lsolidated Water Power and Paper Fmindation of Wisconsin Rapids has made possible the acquisition of another Ford nine-passenger station wagon for the Conservation department here at CSC. The older station wagon the college now has was also given by the Foundation in 1952. The use of this wagon will make possible and greatly aid field work in tll.e advanced courses in conservation education. The recently acquired wagon will be used at the Trees for Tomorrow Summer Camp for teache:t:s at Eagle River, in their program of leadership training in conservation. "The support that industry gives our department is in recognition of the values the department is contributing to the welfare of the state. These include the training of men to serve in the teaching of research education, as well as in other areas of conservation," says Fred J. Schmeeckle, chairman of the Conservation department. "We are grateful to the Consolidated Water Power and Paper Foundation for this wonderful support.'' On Tuesday, May 17, Mr. Schmeeckle was at Washington High School, Milwaukee, where he gave a lecture on social and economic aspects of conservation to about 100 students enrolled in the three sections of conservation education which the school has hi its curriculum. Much interest in conservation was shown by the students, and several are now planning to enroll in the conservation department here at esc next fall. Next year, 1956, is the tenth anniversary of .the Conservfl,tion depart} ment here, as it was established in 1946. Tentative plans call for a reunion of all conservation graduates to be held during the regular Homecoming festivities. The graduates are expected to have discussions on the work, past and present, of the department, and suggestions will be received on how to better the department for its future work. \ Dean or staying with history before they put me out of this world. So I chose to stay with history." Mr. Steiner has moved around in the building quite a bit. "~ started out in Mr. Michelsen's old office. From there I was moved to the other end of the building where Mrs. Blodgett now has her office. There I stayed quite a while, but, eventually, moving time came around again, and I went into the "hanging gardens", where Mr. Reppen now reigns. And then, finally, I moved to my present location down in the 'history corner'," he related. Sports has always been one of his chief interests. "I played football and basketball back in school. My crooked nose is a relic of playing football," he grinned. Mr. Steiner has done a great deal of refereeing. Up until his sons were old enough to be competitors, he refereed in the Valley. "Also I have always enjoyed singing. Mrs. Steiner too, likes to sing. She was first president of the music club here. That was one - of our points of contact," he said with a twinkle in his eye. There are very few things our familiar face is not interested in doing. He likes hunting, fishing, gardening, and reading, to name only a few.

I remember one time we even debated Whether a member Of another society should have his hair cut. The decision was 'yes' so we proceeded to go and do so. Our victim objected slightly --, but it was fun," Mr. Steiner recalled, his eyes twinkling with mischief. Most of the persons Mr. Steiner graduated with are scattered far and wide. He recalls many important names such as Everson, Fromm, May Roach, and --, need more be said? B:e is still just as anxious to have our school succeed and grow as it has in the past. "It has grown and has a great future," he said, proudly. "This college has always been most fortunate in its selection of congenial, scholarly staff members who have been responsible in large measure for its progress. The record of achievement of alums from Central State is outstanding. "It must be awful to teach in a school you don't care for," he said sincerely. "I feel we are very fortunate to have what has always been known as 'the friendly school.' It is like a well-knit family." Mr. Steiner, we thank you for helping to make it that way. Men's Glee Club Holds Spring Dinner At Park Members of the Men's Glee club of Central State college, their director, Norman E. Knutzen, and guests gathered at Iverson park lodge on May 19 for their annual spring dinner. The club's new officers were installed following the meal.

As long as this is the last column we'll be pounding out this year, we want to take a few lines to say good-bye to all the seniors. we hope that the graduates all have the very greatest of success, and that they don't forget esc too soon. we will ·miss all your smiling faces next fall, but feel confident that you will be out spreading the traditions of Central State around. To all the undergraduates we want to say, "Have a nice summer, and here's hop 1· ng to see you next fall'." * * * * Because summer is so near at hand and all thoughts are turning t<;> summer fun, work, and friendships, let's take a few minutes to look at the more serious side of summer pasttimes -- safety. It is very easy to have fun, and even more easy to get reckless. Just try to remember a few of these simple rules so we can weicome you all back next fall! 1. Don't take unnecessary chances in, on, or around the water! If you aren't an excellent swimmer, stay where lifeguards and regulations can keep - your fearlessness within bounds. And if you are a good swimmer, you won't swim alone or take risks. ' 2. Be careful with that car! Even though you may be able to take care of yourself behind that wheel, you · have responsibilities. Don't ever take the other driver for · granted, and don't break the traffic rules. They are By 1\-lary Braatz The end of the first year at college seems to bring out whatever sentimental reminiscences one can squeeze from among the innumerable term papers and brain-twisting tests. The hour that should be spent in scholastic industry becomes just one more mark in the column headed "day-dreaming". And, although the approaching summer has the charm of the rainbow's pot of gold, . the combination of misty sprmg an d. memory clouds even the profitable glitter beyond the first year co11ege gates. Do you remember when school started last fall? __ how every particle of heavenly moisture condensed itself manfully and treated us to a week-long deluge. Can you recal1 the agonies of registration? __ the hundreds of cards and numbers and schedules and upperclassmen proud of their scars from last year's ordeal and all too eager for you to get yours. Surely you haven ,t f orgotten that first day of classes and the slow-dawning revelation that S: 15 is truly "for the birds."

The new library came in for a good deal of useage, what with reference books, library theater, and the atmosphere of knowledge-seeking.

As might be inferred from the title, the theme of the movie, an English one, is liquor and drinking. The story is set on a Hebrides island during the last war, when a shortage of good Scotch whiskey causes gloom and bickering. How the islanders illegally salvage a plentiful supply of Scotch makes a very funny story. The Christian Century, normally very conservative on the subject of liquor, says about the picture: "You may quarrel with the thesis - that drink brings joy and good but you cannot deny the entertainment of the humorous characterizations." Union Hours Announced The Student Union will close this weekend, according to an announcement from Mark Farris, Union manager. This evening, May 2 6, will be the last evening the Union will be officially open. During test week the Union will be open for those wishing to study but the snack bar will be closed. Coke and milk will still be available, however. Pointer Heads Are Named For 1955-56 Earl Grow, Shawano, will be ~di­ tor of the Pointer again for at least the first semester next year, and Ara.

The theme of the formal dance "String of Pearls" was carried out in the decorations of the P. J. Jacobs High school gymnasium where the dance was held. Huge strands of "pearls" decorated 'the tide walls. The stage was converted .into a cypress garden scene for the crowning of the prom royalty, Wendelin Frenzel, junior class president, and Diana Bloom. The stage scene included a vinecovered bubbling fountain, with revolving spot, two white pillars and balconies at the sides. White stairs and railing led to the front of the fountain where white metal chairs were placed for the crowning ceremony. Strands of pearls and Spanish moss decorated cypress tree silhouettes, which formed a background. Pastel-covered tables which edged the dance floor were centered with diftwood, pink net, strands of pearls, and wild roses. The chaperons, guests, and advisers were seated around a white, fern-topped pedestal. The orchestra, which occupied the center of the dance floor was separated from the dancers by potted ferns. The court of honor was made up of Ken Hurlbut, senior class president, and his fiancee, Marjorie Schmahl; Jack· Crook, junior vice-president, and Lou Breymann; Sally Rose, junior secretary, and her escort, Charles Schultz; Bob Wyman, junior student council representative, and Marcie Skalski; Paul Zei and Arlene Golomski, junior decorations committee chairman. Chaperons for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Raymond E. Specht, Mr. and Mrs. Irving B. Sachs and Mr. and Mrs. Edgar F. Pierson. The annual outstanding literary work by esc students is approaching publication. "Wordsworth" is a book of poems, stories and essays by esc authors of 1955. These writings are collected and published by Siiima Tau Delta, honorary English fraternity, and will be for sale at 25c per copy. The "Wordsworth' 'staff is: Editor, Diane Seif; advertising editor, Felisa Borja; copy editors, Diana Bloom, Wendy Frenzel, Jack Frisch and Frank Brocker; and typists, Jane Schultz and Claire Mueller. The staff hopes that "Wordsworth" will be here Friday, May 27. Watch for signs. Nine groups of girls began scouring the town for· items such as "a size twelve shoe", "a 1954 Woman's Home Companion", and "an Esquire Calendar" on the evening of May 17. The girls were members of Omega Mu Chi, Psi Beta Psi, and Tau Gamma Beta sororities, who gathered for an Inter-Sorority scavenger bunt and picnic. President William C. Hansen has announced that Mrs. Mary Samter, supervisor in the first grade at the C~mpus school, who has been on leave of absence to teach classes in elementary education at the University of Wisconsin, will return to CSC next fall to resume her position here. Miss Rita Youmans of the Home Economics department, on leave this year to do graduate work at the University of Illinois, will also be back in the fall as chairman of the Home Economics department at CSC. Mrs. Lorraine Otte, who has been taking her place this year, will join her husband in Madison. After an hour of hunting and searching, the girls hiked to Iverson Park to turn in the spoils.
