Many of the themes and poems written for English classes would be

It is hoped that many students will be represented in this year's anthology. The staff of Words Worth is willing to make this so - the rest

Camera Club Holds
Its First Meeting
Approximately 30 students and
faculty members turned out on Wed.,
March 26, for the first meeting of
Central State's new Camera Club. The
group discussed plans for organization, but decided to remain on a semiorganized basis until next fall.
Loren Woerpel was on hand to
propose a project to the group. He
represented A-Wah-Je, a white Indian dance team which is seeking
publicity for a program it will present in May (as part of the Stevens
Point Centennial celebration). Loren asked that the Camera Club
members take pictures of the Indian dancers so that the dancers
could use the pictures for publicity
purposes. Arrangements will be made
in the near future for interested
camera fans to take pictures of the
dancers in an outdoor natural setting and in a gym.
The Club then saw a short Kodak film entitled "Clear and Sharp,"
which presented a basic introduction
to photography. After the movie Dr.
Chang and Mr. Specht demonstrated
the procedure used in criticizing a
print. After a short example by the
two faculty members, the Club members also participated in the discussion.

We have had an odd start, and with

-'' students that say; 1) I wish that
" we had something to do, and 2) all
, I have to do is study. Well, blind
people, I have the answer to all of
your little problems. All you, as
' students, have to do is to get up
and move move out to some of
the finest entertainment and fellowship that can be found anywhere in
the entire institution. These activities are found in the religious groups
on campus.
Your own religious group meets at
least twice a month and most of the
religious group meetings -are open to
all persons interested in an evening of
fun, fellowship,, and relaxation.
So, you see, there is a place for
you, my destitute fellow students.
You have something to pick yourself
up out of that dismal rut of despair
so that you live again. No longer
should you be content with being Joe

Young Democrats
Revise Constitution,
Elect New Officers
The Young Democratic Clubs
Wisconsin closed a two day convention here late Sunday afternoon. The
Central State College Young Democratic Club was the host organization.
Before adjournment, they had approved a revised constitution and bylaws, adopted nearly 40 resolutions
and named new state officers.
Jerry Madison, New London teacher, was re-elected state chairman of
the group Sunday afternoon. Madison, a Central State College graduate
who was a delegate from Marshfield,
his home town, marshalled enough
power at the outset of the nominations to beat off a challenge for the
leadership by Joseph Checota, Watertown, a University of Wisconsin student. Checota, noting Madison's obvious strength, withdrew before his
name was placed in nomination.
Re-elected as vice chairman was
Jerry Musich of West Allis. John
Hayward, Marshfield, a CSC student,
is administrative representative to
the senior Democratic Party.
District Leaders
A district officer elected at a caucus
just before the close of the convention
at the Hardware Mutuals Auditorium
was Glenn Zipp, Merrill for the 7th
district.
Galen Greenhill of River Falls was
the convention chairman.
The constitution was adopted Sunday afternoon after a floor fight on
a proposal to raise the Young Democrats' age limit from 27 to 31. The
limit was held at 2 7, the delegates
rejecting even a proposal to give 31
a two-year trial.
Rejected among the resolutions
Sunday was one condemning censorship of books and magazines. Sponsored by Robert Nordlander, a CSC
student from Menasha, the resolution was defeated in committee Satqrday but was brought up from the
floor Sunday. It would have censured
"certain pressure groups" which attempted to censor publications. The
sponsor of the resolution, Robert
Nordlander, 25, a special student at
Stevens Point State College, said he
was amazed by the "antagonism" his
resolution aroused. He called the
outcome a "gutless vote."
Opposition was led by the Marquette University delegation. It was
reported that opposition in committee
was by some Catholics who took it as
a slap at the Legion of Decency, and
by some non-Catholics who saw no

that described the pljght of teachers
as a "national scandal" and urged
support of a program to alleviate the
situation and also favored federal aid

Many Resolutions
Saturday afternoon's session was
devoted almost entirely to action on
resolutions. Most went through without discussion. One which prompt~d
debate for a time was finally adopted.
It condemned the Kohler Co. for prolonging the labor di~pute at the
plumbingware p'lant at Kohler, and
"encouraged Local 833 of the UAWCIO in its "struggle to attain dignity
under the law."
Education 215 Again
Presents Story Hour
In the spring term, 1957, the Education 215 (Speech Methods in the
Elementary School) personel decided
to inaugurate a story hour for preschool children. This was continued
during summer school by the option
of the students. This semester the
story hour project is in progress
again.
Twenty three pre-school children,
most of whom will enroll in the College Campus as Kindergarteners,
come enthusiastically to Story Hour
every Tuesday morning in Room
206. Each week three members of
the Education 215 class become the
"story hour teachers." Whether Joan
J eckle tells a story using the flannel board, Toni Walker shows a Walt
Disney film strip, or, Donna Etten
produces gingerbread boys, the children display avid interest. They also
enjoy the chance to make new friends
their own age. They are looking forward, also, to seeing their teachers
present THE SHOEMAKER AND
THE ELVES, with costume, music,
and dance, in May. Last year's Education 215 class presented THE PIED
PIPER, and the summer group did
HANSEL AND GRETEL.
Many more children wanted to
join the story hour group, but Miss
Isaacson felt it necessary to limit the
group. Some faculty children are in
the group - Gene Kremple, Margie
Faust (a veteran from last year) ,
Debbie Wallace, Jimmy Jones are
among them. Every student in ,Education 215 has more than one chance
to handle the children. Presentations
vary greatly. In order to make the
story hour room more attractive, a
"clown" bulletin was put up and
other colorful additions were made
to room 206.

II Letters To The Editor
w~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Winter maneuvers of the SiaSefi
Home Guard came to a successful
close last week. Field Marshall Bill
Hummel congratulated the troops on
their fine performance and high degree of training and discipline demonstrated in the Oshkosh campaign.
"Infiltration was complete, objectives
were accomplished in the face of all
opposition and the retreat was in
good order," he said during a speech
delivered personally at a party celebrating the success. "I feel certain,"
he continued, "that the people of
Central Wisconsin feel 1 more secure
with the knowledge that we stand
ready to defend them at any time, at
all cost."
The announcement that the Home
Guard's new motto: "We Have Not
Yet Begun To Fight Damm The Torpedoes Full Speed Ahead You May
Fire' When Ready Gridly Remember
The Alamo If You Can't Beat Them
Join Them" has been officially adopted and is to be emblazoned on all
battle · standards and pennants, was
greeted by a thunderous ovation.
The group was then treated to an
exhibition of feats of skill, and daring
strength by the well known team of
Stuiber and Collard. Well done
gentlemen and I wouldn't worry. We
understand that minor surgery and
a short period of rest is all that is
required for complete recovery.
The SiaSefi bulletin board committee spends large amounts of time and
energy in an up to now successful
attempt to provide an amusing and
colorful spot in an otherwise drab
passageway. Recently there has been
tampering. The possibility has been
considered that this crime was commited by pledges of some organization under the sadistic orders of the
actives. This may or may not be true.
The originators of this vile transgression probaltly think that it is
funny. The SiaSefis are not amused.
Further acts of this sort will result
in an investigation leading to the
eventual apprehension of the•person
or persons responsible.
Consider the" case of Bohephus J.
Smuke, tried and convicted by the
SiaSefi Vigilantes of removing a pin
from the SiaSefi bulletin board for
use in attaching a notice to another
bulletin board belonging to a group
of which he was a member. Duly
tried and convicted, a large Z was
painted on his back and he fluttered
from the flag pole for three days. 'fhe
other members of the organization
were scattered to the four winds
and their bulletin board was ripped
from the wall and used to kindle the
Fire of Purification necessary to remove the stigma of heathen fingerprints from the pin.
There is a general feeling among
our group that the Tribunal was too
lenient in this case and any punishment given in the future for similar
crimes will be severe enough to be
considered complete atonement.
At the 1958 Young Democratic
Convention held in Stevens Point this
weekend, the Young Democrats of
Wisconsin trampled on the principles
of Thomas Jefferson.
By refusing to adopt a resolution
which re-affirmed the "right of every
adult citizen in the state of Wisconsin
to have access to information on any
and all topics of interest, Wisconsin's
Young Democrats have shown that
they do not take their protestations
of liberalism seriously.
It now becomes absolutely necessary for the senior party organization
to re-affirm the historic position of
the Democratic party concerning censorship at the La Crosse Convention
in June.
By taking a positive stand on this
vital issue, the Democratic Party of
Wisconsin will prove that it is not an
organization of frustrated reactionaries who cannot acquire seniority in
the Republican Party. By taking
this stand, the Democratic Party of
Wisconsin will again prove that it is
the liberal party of this state.
The Young Democrats may have
deserted the banner of Jeffersonian
Democracy temporarily. Yet, it was t r
gratifying to note that our re-elected
chairman, Jerry Madison, understood
I
the issues at stake and supported •
the resolution.
The flame of liberalism is burning~
low in the Wisconsin Young Democratic Organization. I am happy however, to note the existence of a
flicker.

Congratulations are in order to a
proud member of the 550's, namely
TEX POTTER, who is now the father
of a bouncing little bundle of joy in
the form of the newly arrived Miss
Diana Potter. Miss Potter made her
debut into this world on March 20,
1958. Hats off and congratulations
to TEX and his wife.
The mighty 3150 volleyball team has

foresees a successful season. Keep
on volleyi_ng that ball, fellows, or
what ever it is that you do in the
gym.
The 550 softball team is being
organized now and Spring Training
at "RUDY'S" is well underway. The
550's will accept any and all teams
wanting a game. Games can be arranged by contacting Jim Martin, or
leaving a note in his mailbox. Beer
games are always especially welcomed. What do you say, W. :R. A.?
Spring is officially here now and
all young men are thinking thoughts
of what girls have been thinking
about all winter long, and wishing
the boys would do something about.
Though the change in the weather
and the girl's outlook on dates has
left a few of the younger fellows as
confused as can be imagined, they'll
catch on soon, romances will bloom,
and maybe even a few engagements
will be announced. Makes the world
go around, you know.

FAMILIAR FACES
Karl Conrad
Our man this week is twenty-six
year old Karl Conrad. Karl's hometown is Kaukauna and he lS a graduate of Kaukauna High School.
When asked about his high school
activities Karl said, "Do you realize
how long ago that was?" So we'll
pass over Karl's childhood and adolescense and we'll slide into his
beginning in college.
Karl was a student at the University" of Wisconsin Extension at Menasha from 1950 to '1952. He had
to leave this fine institution of higher
learning to keep an appointment with
a friend Uncle Sam. His visit
lasted two years from 1952 to 1954.
After he finished this h!J.PPY part of
his life he launched upon another
phase of college life at Central State
College. Karl entred CSC in 1955
and he will gradute in June this year.
Karl's main interests are his wife
and his baby girl who is nine months
old. This along with his college career keeps him more than busy. Karl
is reaching for a Bachelor of Science
degree in Secondary Education. His
major is history and he has minors
in both English and speech. Karl
is practice teaching this semester at
P.J. Jacobs. He prefers to teach
Junio'r High School but may end up
teaching secondary. Karl is very interested in research work and he
intends to work for his master's degree in the near future. He may
teach for a while first and then dig in

Mary Maslowski asked her mother
to squeeze some toothpaste on her

the team.) After much trial and
error in the process of trying to hurry·
through the regular morning routine
she arrived in front of N~lson Hall
at 5:45 in rather good condition.
Evie Medo, Addie Sopa, Therese Sopa
and Lois Woehlert, were already
there to greet her. By 6 a.m. Shirley
McCarthy, Lynn Halmke, Judy Malchow, Loraine Lind, and Jan Vandervest added to the cheery atm'o sphere.
The little party was complete when
Miss Doris Davis, Doyne Parmalee,
and Rodney Sung arrived to do the
driving chores. The frisky group began the long drive with a discussion
of the earliest possible stop for breakfast, which resulted in an invasion at
Wisconsin Rapids. Since the girls
were in two cars it was rather difficult to understand each others sign

Marcie is a graduate of Maria High
and w~ile attending Maria her time
was dominated by these activities:
Sodality, Glee· Club, Chemistry Club,
Dramatic Club, Latin Club, Student
Council, Yearbook, Newspaper, and
the office of sophomore class president.
Her high school happenings were
many, but Marcie remembers above
all the many trips she made with the
Drum and Bugle Corps as majorette.
She loved to go on the trips but she
had the unhandy habit of missing the
bus when it was time to head for
home. One time she actually had to
catch a taxi and have the driver chase
the bus, in Madison, so she wouldn't
be left behind.
Also while in high school she was
asked to do the choreography for
the senior plays while still in her
sophomore and junior years, which
was quite a privilege for her.
Marcie has planned on being a
teacher since first grade. She decided
on the Intermediate field through her
experience with her dance school students of· all ages.
Her college experiences number
many. Many wonderful things have
happened in her college life and a lot
of fun has been had. Marcie, however, considers the year of 1956 as
the greatest for her. In 1956 Marcie
was selected as September Twirling
Queen of America, and on top of that
was given the honor of being a queen
candidate for the Sig Eps in the CSC
Homecoming. Marcie stated that

Marcie's college activities are Tau

quite interesting. Marcie has her own
dancing school and has had it for
five years. She only teaches in
Stevens Point now but for two years
she taught at both Point and Waupaca. This proved to be too much to
keep up, as she worked in her Dad's
office besides taking charge of the
Pointerettes Twirling Corps at the
high school. The Pointerettes keep
Marcie busy with practices and going
on trips to contests and parades.
They've made almost fifty appearances in three years time.
Marcie will teach fifth grade at

Alpha Sigma Alpha installed its
new officers in an impressive allwhite candlelight service, Tuesday
evening, March 18, in the Home Ec.
parlors. Miss Vivian Kellogg officiated.
Those girls taking the oath of
office were: Barbara Jenkins, president; Evelyn Smyth, vice president;
Vivian Krinke, treasurer; June Zielinski, assistant treasurer; Agnes
Altmann, secretary; Barbara Williams, chaplain; Betty Marvin, membership director; Gloria Richard, edttor.
Elaine Eis, corresponding secretary; Allene Grimm, member at

The ceremony was followed by a

new president, Barbara Jenkins. Refreshments were served.
Several Alpha Sigs are looking
forward to pleasant associations with
other Alpha Sigs from chapters in
both Wisconsin and Illinois when
they attend State Day at Western

Anne Klein, well known designer, created this smart 1sheath designed with a touch of
sophistication which was made and is being modeled by Rosalyn Lee. An acetate and
cotton blend from which the dress is made lends itself very effectively to this deep
Cowl Collar which can be buttoned up in back for a high stand up collar effect, or be
left open to relax the line. The dress cost about $10 to make but would retail at
about $25.
Miss Ethel Hill is the Instructor. The girls have gained many good techniques in sewing.
The fine results of her instruction and the students' interest and ability are demonstrated
by these five models.
They "Could Have Danced,
Danced, Danced All Night"
The day finally came, being March
22, when the twelve Alpha Sigma
Alpha Pledges, adorned in their
slacks and sweatshirts, got ready to
wash cars at Point Motors (DodgeGarage) on Clark Street.
We could not have asked for a
more perfect March day because the
birds were cheerfully singing, the
spring breeze gently blowing, and
the sun brightly shinning.
The first customer was there before 1 : 0 0 so we went to work on his
car. Being not too handy at first,
it took a great deal more work to
wash the car. After several jobs,
the pledges had a system worked out.
Here it is! Two pledges washed the
inside windows, brushed the upholstry, and the inside of the car. This
task was done outside the garage.
Then came the washing process. The
individuals with this job di'Vided talents ori the roof, wheels, windows,
and body. When one of the roof
washers was finished with the task
another pledge would take the hose
and rinse the car. Then another
would drive the car out of the garage to the outside for the shining
process so not a water spot would
show.
On Monday night the Orchesis
Club took their audience, at their
program "In a Department Store,"
throughout such a store. And where
is the first place you would go in
a department store, especially when
there are only 267 days left until
Christmas? Why, to the Toy Department, of course. Here was seen the
"March of the Toys," the "Jumping
Jacks," the "Lions" and a graceful
"Ballerina Doll" Suzanne Yach.
On their way through the store the
audience paused to watch the "Customers, On the Mezzanine," a human
characterization number, which was
quite humorous.
The next stop was a short visit in
the TV department where we watched
the "Shepard's Dance from. Amal!-1
and the Night Visitors" and also turned in _for an old fashioned Square
Dance.
Not only did Orchesis show merchandise, but they also showed the
inner workings of a store by following the rapid rise of the packing
clerk who took a short cut to the
top the presidency of the store,
and by Miss Schelfhout's delightful
pantomime entitled "After Hours The Thief."
We browsed through the household appliances, books and cosmetics.
It was in the Book Section that we
found the "Jazz Story" done by guest
dancer Marcie Skalski, and "My
Home Is an Island" an Hawaiian
hula number by guests Helen Matsuoka and Rosario Estacio.
The cars certainly came in dirty,
but they left Point Motors sparkling.
In addition to cars, the Alpha Sigma
Alpha pledges did a panel truck and
a pick up truck. The driver of the
pick up truck thought he was pretty
smart because he said the truck had
not been washed since the date he
purchased it and that was in 1956.
Before the shampooing the truck
looked like a pretty sad sight but
when finished there was a little
shine.
People of all walks of life, such
as teachers, students of esc, townspeople, doctors, and the Dean of
Women came down to have a dozen
girls wash their car. A grand total
of twenty-four vehicles were washed
at 99¢ per car. After subtracting the
charges for the the use of the garage,
it was discovered that $17.7 6 was
made to be contributed to charity.
Feeling rather tired, sore, and
hungry, we turned our wet feet
homeward with the knowledge of a
job well done.
The Orchesis Club, under the able
direction of Miss Marjorie Schelfhout,
consists of nine girls: Bernice Beversdorf, Donna Etten, Pat Fields, Myrna
Frank, Carol Heinrich, Pat Slack,
Sharon Somers, Margaret Worzella,
and Suzanne Yach. The accompanist
was Elaine Mueller. The stage crew
was Tom Gruman and Tom Zehns;
the customers, Marlene Jensen, Carol Lewis, Marilyn Eskritt, and Mary
Lou Crueger. The square dancers
were Jack Blosser, Clyde Rice, Dick
Timm, Mel Leinwander, Sally Damrau, Mary Maslowski, Sue Monroe and
Addie Sopa.
It was truly "A Gmnd Nlgllf' Fer
Singing" Monday night, March 34th,
as the College Women's Associat on
sponsored the annual Songfest tn the
school auditorium. Miss Diane Baehler served as Mistress of Ceremonies.
The program opened with the\ boy's·
quartet, the "IV Leagers" conlposed
of Wayne Baldwin, George Knuteson, Dale Maher, and John Haugsby
accompanied by Marilyn W.ernberg
singing the title song of the program. A modern dance group featuring Pat Slack, Donna Etten, Suzanne Yach, Sharon Somers, Margaret Worzella, Carol Heinrich, Patricia Fields, Bernice Beversdorf, and
Myrna Frank entertained the audience by dancing to Eddie Duchin's
"You're My Everything."
• Competition was open to any group
or organization on the campus. Each
entrant sang one serious riumber and
a parody of school life. There were
eight groups entered this year. The
sororities were first on the program
with Omega Mu Chi singing as their
serious number, "Laura" followed
by Tau Gamma Beta with "Three
Bells." Alpha Sigma Alpha was third
with "Come Back to Sorrento." The
Wesley Choir rendered "River Boy"
while "Gamma Delta gave us "This
is My Country." In keeping with the
Lenten season, the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity sang "This is. My
Father's World" and LSA offered
"You'll Never Walk Alone." The faculty closed the program by singing
"The Lonesome Road." Their parody
gave some very good advice to college students and told some of the
teacher's headaches. Miss Doris Davis wrote the words of this parody,
Serving as judges for this year's
event were Mrs. Gordon Hansen, Mrs.
A. A. Mellentine, and Mrs. Jim Delzell. While waiting for the decision
of the judges, Donna Toepper led
the audience in group singing.

Evening at the Library
<I
I arrive at the library well before six,
Three hours of s.tudying will get me
out of my fix;
I have a tough test at one-thirty
tomorrow,
And not one neighbor from whom
I can borrow.
I peek into each booth as I walk
'round the stacks, ·
In each I see shapes or big brawny
backs;
The last booth in the row is vacant
for me,
But the light is burned out and it
vibrates like a bee.
I settle down to my task of reading
and writing,
I think of myself and the test I'll
be fighting;
The plumbing in here has a queer
pounding and whistle,
Like being inside a spaceship or
supersonic missile.
What is that down the aisle, in the
main study hall?
A pair of shapely legs; yes, a gorgeous doll;
"Hi Bili, Are you composing with
a genius stroke?"
"Heck no! Let's go out and have a
smoke."
·
Back in the booth I wonder if I'll get
anything done;
There is too much company and so
much fun.
Oops, there I go dozing again,
And most of the ink has run out of
my pen.
Now what is the magnetic declination of the agonic line?
By Jove, much more of this and I'll
go stone blind.
Besides it's so beastly hot and dry
in lJ.ere,
I think I'll go out and suck-up a beer.

The simple styling of this outfit accents the brocade material and its two inch wide
self belt. Both the jacket and the skirt feature self-bound edges.

Seven Lettermen' Return
as Track Season Opens
College Theater Gives
Impressive Performance
of "All My Sons"
An impressive performance of
Arthur Miller's three-act play, "All
My' Sons" was presented by the College Theater Group of Central State
in the Campus Laboratory gymnasium on the evenings of March 21st
and 22nd.
The play was presented in the gymnasium for the purpose of trying
out a new experiment, that of the
"Theater in the Round Performance."
The cast performed on a raised platform in the center of the floor. The
audience occupied chairs and bleachers surrounding the platform, in addition to balcony seats. Preceding the
performances, one of the bleachers
collapsed, which, of course, was an
unrehearsed antic. Fortunately, no
Injury resulted.
The drama of the play was displayed by the troup of college actors
under the direction of Miss Mary E.
Thompson.
The part of Joe Keller, the father
of two sons, one of whom was reported missing in Air Force service,
was played by Rodney Justesen, a
sophomore from Mosinee. Mary Ann
Camber, a junior from Krakow, took
the part of his wife, Kate Keller.
Mrs. Keller believed that her son
would return home, even though he
had been reported missing for three
and a half years.
Robert Brown, a sophomore from
Milwaukee, took the part of Chris
Keller, the arriving son, who was in
love and planned to marry his brother's fiancee, Ann Deever, played by
Kathleen Adams, a sophomore from
Waupaca. Together they impressively presented a series of highly emotional scenes.
The part of George Deever, Ann's
brother, was played by Michael Farrail, a first semester freshman from
Gresham, who made a substantial
contribution in his first appearance
in college drama. George is bitter
because their father is serving time
in the penitentiary for defective Air
Force equipment for which Joe Keller was responsible.
An amusing touch was added by
Robert Caylor, Minocqua, and Debra
Manke, Port Washington, as Dr. and
Mrs. Jim Bayless, Glenn Zipp, Merrill, and Judy Ungrodt, as Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Lubey, with Jimmy
Dahm, a fourth grader ·at the Campus school, as Bert, all neighbors
of the Kellers.
The audience displayed enthusiastic reaction throughout the performance.
Mary lou Davis chase copper satin heels and copper colored jewelry to highlight the
copper tones in her beige brocade dress. This princess style dress has a ¥-neckline in

The skirt has an inverted pleat on the left side detailed with a bow at the tap. The

Logging at Lagmore
There is a rather serious and
adverse disease creeping upon us
here at Lagmore Behind Institute.
It is not something that can be combated by a trip to the Health Center,
nor a shot in the arm. Nor is it
isolated to this campus alone, but it
is something tl).at has spread to the
four corners of the educational world.
" Disciplism" would probably be the
best name to fasten to this cancer
of the student body - disciplism of
one or two teachers that pass through
a students short "formal school" life.
True, it is a compliment to the
teachers that they do such a good job,
that a student is forever after remembering them, but it is not good that
the student be continually quoting
Professor Hornblowerbit whenever
somebody asks him what he . thinks
about the econ.omic situation among
the South Tunisian natives.
When the only thing that a college
can turn out in the line of graduates
is someone who is always refering to
what one of his professors or one of
·his texts says in regard to the matter,
and doesn't consider his own opinions·
and views important enough to interject them, then the student should
never have been grad~ated, and the
school should be closed for turning
such a person loose in society under
the pretense that that person was
educated.
Learning is one thing that every
student must experience, but wisdom
and confidence is something that no
professor can teacJ;~- from the text.
In this day of missiles and satellites, it is becoming more and more
important for the people of fJ;'ee countries to learn more about the ways and
means of not only their own country,
but also of the other countries of the
world. One way is to study, but
another is to interpret for themselves
what their studies show them.
After all, when Dr. Hornblowerbit
leaves this physical world of the living, he will become a thing of the
past, and if we continue to preach his
doctrine and no others, eventually we
will not have to thing - we can live
in the memories and legends of the
past, and then we will no longer be.
It is good when stndents remember
what they were taught, but it is
better when they speak what they
themselves think, especially if they
have done research of their own on
the subject, and thought it through in
their own mind.
Then, and only then, 1can they say
they are really ready to accept their
rightful place in the world.
The 1958 track season opened at
CSC on Monday, March 21, when
Coach Gene Brodhagen called a meeting of all track candidates and issued
equipment.
Attending this meeting were seven
lettermen, a number of other team
members from last year, and a large
group of freshmen.
"Fritz" Kestly will be returning
this year to his specialties- the 440
and 2 2 0 yard dashes as well as the
broad jump. Jiggs Meuret will run
the 440 and the low hurdles after he
·recovers from his broken toe. Also
returning are Gary Peterson, last
year's two miler; Dick Rice, a high
and low hurdler; Don Ryskoski, a
pole vaulter; Cal Clausen, record
holding shot putter; and LaVern
Luebstorf in the discus and javelin.
This rounds out the list of last year's
specialists.
The team will open its season ·at
CSC with a dual meet against LaCrosse on April 19 .
They will travel to Lawrence College for a quadrangular meet with
Lawrence, Ripon and Oshkosh, to be
held on Saturday, April 26. On Tuesday, April 29, the Pointers will host
St. ·Norberta and Lakeland in a triangular meet. On Saturday, May 3,
the Pointers will meet Oshkosh here
in a dual meet for the conclusion of
the home slate.
On May 1Oth the Pointers will meet
River Falls and Winona State of Minnesota at River Falls. On Saturday,
Mar 17, the Pointers take on Oshkosh
and Whitewater in a triangular meet
at Osl;lkosh. To conclude the season
the Pointers have entered the Wisconsin State College Conference meet
at La Crosse on Saturday, May 24.
Coach Brodhagen cautioned his
prospective track men to keep in top
physical condition, watch out for the
coal pile in the middle of the track,
and not pick up Don Ryskoski 's
"vaulting pole." Brodhagen has
hopes of a fine season.
