It is a pleasure for me to extend my greetings to you in this 1958 yearbook.
Although the job of a regent is concerned primarily with such matters as buildings
and budgets, with policies and personnel, still, in the final analysis, it is
concerned always with the welfare of students. It has been and will continue
to be my pleasure and privilege to help in getting the teachers, the buildings,
the equipment, the policies, and the organization which will enable your college
and the other state colleges to grow and to improve and to serve your needs better.

MISS JESSIE CALDWELL has been
closely associated in interest and service to
La Crosse State College for more than 35
years. The elementary education teacher was
among the first group of teacher trainees to
enter La Crosse Normal School, the forerunner
of the present college. Having received
the B.S. and M.A. degrees from
Teachers College, Columbia University, she
joined the faculty staff of La Crosse State
in 1923.
Miss Ca Idwell's contributions are of
community- and state-wide importance as
well as of benefit to the college. She has
served as local president of the La Crosse
Education Association, the Western Wisconsin
Education Association, and the American
Association of University Women. In addition, she has been local and state president of Delta
Kappa Gamma and local, state, and regional president of the Business and Professional Women.
Promoting social welfare, the retiring teacher has served as president of the La Crosse Community
Council, deaconess of the First Congregational Church, a board member of YWCA and a
division chairman of the La Crosse Community Chest.
MR. EVERETT WALTERS has been a leader in education since he joined the faculty staff
in 1920. Prior to this time, the retiring teacher received the Ph.B. from the U. of Wisconsin and
the M.A. from the U. of Chicago and served as high school teacher and principal in Illinois and
Minnesota.
As a member of the Columbia University
chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, an honor
society in education, Mr. Walters founded
Beta Tau Chapter at La Crosse State in 1930
and has been counselor until 1956. In 1922,
he sponsored the organization of the Western
Wisconsin School Masters Club for superintendants
and principals of graduate level.
When the 25th anniversary of the latter
group was celebrated in 1947, he prepared a
brochure on "A Quarter Century of Educational
Development in Western Wisconsin,"
which is a well-documented history of the
changes in education. In addition, the secondary
education director is affiliated with
the NEA, the WEA, the National Society for
the Study of Education, the National Association
of Teachers of Education, and Phi
Delta Kappa. Locally, he is a member of the
Lions Club, La Crosse Club, Elks, and
Masons, while in past years he has been
director of the La Crosse Country Club and
YMCA.

Eleven elementary education and three physical
education majors comprise the fourteen girls
whose temporary home is Skaff House. Housemother
to the group at 207 West Avenue South is
Abbie Skaff.

Mrs. Anna Blaschke is affectionately termed
Gramma by "her girls." Living at 2115 Main Street
IS a pleasure because Gramma is always willing to
sew on a button or otherwise lend a hand in addi­
tion to her guidance duties as housemother.

At Baumbach House the eleven
men come from Wisconsin, Minnesota,
and Illinois. Indicative of their
school spirit is the fact that they
were one of the few off-campus
houses to build a display for Homecoming
weekend. Their combined
efforts also produced an identifying
sign for their house.

On May 10, 1930, Phi Sigma Chi, an independent club, was installed as
Phi Chapter of Delta Psi Kappa, national honorary professional physical
education sorority. There were twenty-two charter members.
The present day organization, consisting of forty members, strives to
develop a sound mind in a sound body. Membership standards are prescribed
to uphold this particular aim.
Projects this year included the publication of the student directory,
the Homecoming luncheon, the Ann Thomas Scholarship, a professional
book sale, a cheerleading clinic, the publication of the freshman handbook,
and attendance at the National Convention in Kansas City, Kansas.
Miss Thomas, the advisor, is serving her second term as vice-president
of the national sorority. Officers of the year were president, Charlene
Melvin; vice-president, Jean Fogtman; recording secretary, Mary Lou
Thornburg; corresponding secretary, Shirley Schneider Phelan; and
treasurer, Carol Henrich.
Senior Psi Kaps strike an informal
pose following their annual tea.

Attention is centered on this mem­
ber of the German Gymnastic Team
as he appears suspended in air.
The purpose of Phi Epsilon Kappa, an honorary fraternity for men in
physical education, is to promote an understanding of the principles and
ideals of the profession. Nu Chapter, established in 1927, was reactivated
in 1948, after a lapse of more than ten years.
This year, under the direction of Mr. Gershon and Mr. Miller, Phi
Epsilon Kappa published the first physical education department newsletter.
Work continued on the Wittich-Reuter papers and the Officials'
Club was given its independence. Nu Chapter also sponsored the West
German Gymnastic Show in February.
Annual projects of the fraternity are the senior placement book to
benefit all senior men and a Founders' Day Banquet. Also, each year a
scholarship key and a distinguished service award are presented to outstanding
seniors.
Officers for 1957-58 were president, Bob Vaningan; vice-president,
Gene Rand; secretary, Keith Peters; and treasurer, Gene La Rose.

Gerald Robbins, Judy Ulrich, Don­

over plans for a Kappa Delta Pi
meeting.
Beta Tau Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, a national honor society in education,
was organized at the La Crosse State College on June 3, 1930.
Students enrolled in education courses who exhibit worthy educational
ideals, sound scholarship, and adequate personal qualifications are invited
to become members. The purpose of the chapter is to develop a high degree
of professional fellowship among the members and to foster professional
growth by recognizing achievements in educational work.
The annual Founders' Day Banquet in March is the culmination of the
year's activities. It pays honor to those who organized the society at the
University of Illinois in 1911.
For over a quarter of a century Mr. Walters, the founder of Beta Tau
Chapter, has been counselor. Although the latter is still active in club
activities, he has turned his position over to Mr. Young.
1957-58 officers were president, Gerald Robbins; vice-president, Jean
Fogtman; secretary, Judith Ulrich; treasurer, Donna Tostrud; and historian,
Diane Tweed.

Eta Phi Alpha, an honorary society for qualified Letters and Science
students, is one of the most dynamic organizations on campus. Members
have initiated a plan designed to broaden their interests and knowledge
by having people from the student body, faculty, and the professional and
business fields address them on facets of their work.
The honorary group is presently striving to form a fund that will
enable it to present a scholarship each year to an outstanding junior student
in the Letters and Science division. It is attaining this goal with the
proceeds from book sales and donations from local businessmen.
Advising the group were Miss Ahlstrom and Mr. Davies. First semester
officers were president, Mary Larson; vice-president, Dean Waldenberger;
secretary, Diana Severson; and treasurer, Kenneth Carlson.
Books and more books are offered
for sale by Eta Phi Alpha to raise
money for a scholarship.

Sometimes called the Country Li1'e or Rural Club, Chi Lambda Chi is
open to all students enrolled in the two year rural education course. The
club endeavors to promote strength of community life and to dignify
rural life.
In the past the local club co-sponsored meetings with the members of
the Chi Lambda Chi club at Winona State College.
At present, the organization meets every two weeks on campus; one
meeting is devoted to business at hand, while the other is a fun night.
Among the annual activities are the Christmas Banquet and the fall get­
acquainted picnic.
Officers for the first semester were JoAnn Zahorik, president; Norma
Lippert, secretary; and Naomi Stetzer, treasurer.

The Drakels was organized by eighteen charter members in February,
1957, to bring together both students who have returned to
complete their education in the elementary division and those who have
entered college at a more advanced age. The club aims to satisfy both
social and professional needs.
The organization's name is derived as a tribute to the advisor of the
group, Miss Drake, who was instrumental in forming the club.
Special events sponsored by the group were a tea for prospective
members in September, a pot luck dinner in December, and a breakfast in
Myrick Park in May.
Officers were Mrs. Elizabeth Mittelsteadt, president; Miss Ruth Miers,
vice president; and Mrs. Beatrice Downey, secretary-treasurer.

Eating takes priority to conversation
as the Jeks begin their annual
banquet.
"Jeks" stands for Junior Elementary Club, one of the four elementary
clubs on campus. For many years there was one large organization designed
to please all the elementary education students. This group grew so large
and the age range became so varied that the idea of four groups seemed
much more practicable and serviceable. The reorganization took place in
the school year of 1956-57.
Under the advisorship of Miss Hammes, the Jeks are composed of
freshmen and sophomores in the standard elementary course.

and joint meetings are held by these two groups; however, each
elects its own officers. The J eks' main function is to promote fellowship
within the group, make new acquaintances, and learn college ways.

Major Club is an association of students who are majoring in physical
education, health, or recreation. The purpose of the organization is to help
students majoring in these fields to become acquainted with persons who
are making contributions to education. The students also become familiar
with the various professional publications.
The club was active for many years as a physical education major club
but was reorganized in 1952 to include health and recreation students also.
This year representatives were chosen from each class to rewrite the
constitution of the organization, and freshmen were admitted to the club
for the first time.
Advisors, Mr. Smith and Miss
Baird, suggest appropriate activities
to be planned by Major Club officers.

Under the sponsorship of Mr. Walters, the Secondary Education Club
was organized in 1921, as the High School Club. Members changed the
name to the Secondary Education Club in 1931. The organization was
established to provide social training and entertainment for the people in
the Secondary Education Division.
The present day organization is open to all students in the Secondary
Education Division. The club endeavors to instill a professional outlook
or attitude in each member as a prospective teacher.
The social side of the club is evident in the spring and autumn picnics,
a Christmas party, and an annual banquet at which time officers are
elected and alumni return to tell the present club members of their

area high schools spoke on the problems they have encountered in their
field.
Throughout the year a club bulletin board keeps members posted on
recent changes in the teaching profession and on varying philosophies
of education.
Mr. Walters has guided the organization for thirty-seven years. He
has corrolated club activities with classroom study, thus presenting a
planned program by which students might become adjusted to their
profession.

and well-being of children, to raise the standard of preparation for teaching,
to encourage continued professional growth, and to bring into active
cooperation all groups concerned with children in the school, the home, and
the community.
This organization is open to all juniors and seniors enrolled in the

Organized in 1953, the Inter-Sorority Council is composed of one representative
from each of the social sororities on the campus. The Inter­
Fraternity Council, formed in 1955, is its equivalent among the social
fraternities.
The organizations may work together or as separate units in attempting
to correlate the activities of the social Greek letter societies. Cooperation
is promoted among the represented groups as well as between the
college and the organizations.
The Inter-Sorority Council sponsors the annual all-school Christmas
Formal.
Officers for the groups were presidents, Greta Sprick and Fred Ferguson;
vice-presidents, Kay Donaldson and Bill Deml; secretaries, Phyllis
Law and Ken Renning; treasurer, Marlene Burke; and historian, Janet
Price. Mrs. Stokke advised the Inter-Sorority Council while Mr. Gilkey

more than academic subjects!
Alpha Delta Theta made its appearance on the local campus in 19:39.
It is one of the largest social fraternities.
The Alpha Delts sponsor an annual homecoming banquet, Tom Turkey
Dance, and an award to the outstanding freshman. The winner of this
award, which is based on academic achievement, participation in sports
and extracurricular activities, and personality, receives a personal trophy,
and his name is inscribed on a permanent trophy at the college.

several years as the Forum.
Alpha Phi Pi is interested in developing social and cultural traits in its
members. It works toward these goals by participating in Homecoming,
Variety Show, Song Fest, and the Inter-Sorority Formal. The annual all­
school St. Patrick's Day Tea and Style Show is sponsored by the Alpha Phi
Pi sorority. Various dances and informal social gatherings are also held
during the year.
First-semester officers were Linda Lehman Gerard, president; Jean
Fogtman, vice-president; Geraldine Adams, secretary; Patricia Donnick,

Alpha chapter of Beta Sigma Chi was founded in 1935, making the
Beta organization the first social fraternity to be established on the
La Crosse campus.
Mr. Coate sponsored the fraternity while he was on the college faculty;
in his honor the D. O. Coate scholarship was established. The proceeds of
the annual Variety Show, initiated in 1941 by the organization, are added
to the fund.
The fraternity sponsors and participates in a Homecoming Breakfast,
a dinner dance, the Homecoming parade, and the Song Fest.
The officers were John Larsen, president; William Cahee, vicepresident;
Don Staats, secretary; Emil Grassel, treasurer. Mr. Wulling was
the faculty advisor.
Success of the Beta Variety Show
is due to careful planning under the
chairmanship of Earl Wiehl.

The policy of "Help Week" was carried on with new pledges being assigned
various duties, such as directing traffic in the parking lot, assisting in the
library, and aiding in other school projects.
In addition, the past school year saw an inception of a series of seminars
under the sponsorship of the fraternity.
Officers were Andre Patnode, president; Richard Collins, vice­
president; John Jenks, secretary; John Simmons, treasurer. Advisors to
the group were Mr. Wimberly and Mr. Thoresen.

Sorority Formal, the Song Fest, and the Variety Show.
The Iotas sponsor an annual Mothers' Day Banquet, a banquet honoring
the graduating seniors, candy and beanie sales, a spring picnic, and the
Senior-Faculty Tea.

Lambda Tau Gamma was founded in the fall of 1950. Original sponsors
were Mr. Rasmussen and Mr. Rowe, who now serve the organization as
advisors.
Last year the group originated the idea of a plaque to be inscribed with
the name of the fraternity achieving the highest scholastic record each year.
The fraternity also sponsors an annual Homecoming alumni banquet, has
fall and spring banquets, and participates in Song Fest. Each spring the
Gammas have a joint picnic with their sister sorority, Sigma Lambda
Sigma. The organization also participates in the college intramural athletic
program.
1957 officers were Ted James, president; Fred Gennerman, vice president;
Donald Bakkum, secretary; and Marcel Kujak, treasurer.
President Ted James presents the
Gamma plaque for the fraternity
with the highest scholastic achieve­
ment to Beta president, Paul Ziegler.

The Sigma informal gathering for
all college women caught these gals
in a harmonizing mood.
"Greatly begin, though thou have time, but for a line, be that sublime.
Not failure but low aim is crime,"--the motto of Sigma Lambda Sigma,
Sapphonian Literary Society.
In 1910-1911 the newly organized group was known as the Girls' Literary
Society; this was changed the following year to the Sapphonian Literary
Society, and finally in 1930 to Sigma Lambda Sigma.
This year the oldest sorority on campus chose to initiate members
only once during the year. As an alternative to fall pledging the sorority
sponsored a party for all the women on campus.
In addition to the many school activities participated in by the members,
they were hostesses for the Christmas Tea. An annual car wash was
sponsored in the spring, proceeds of which went to the Sigma Lambda
Sigma scholarship fund. Each year a junior woman is recipient of this
scholarship.
Officers were Mary Lou Thornburg, president; Kathy Krueger, vicepresident;
Dixie Collins, secretary; Sandra Crane, treasurer. Miss Oleson
and Mrs. Hebberd are the advisors.

Treasurer Howard Oda makes out
the check representing the Kappa
contribution to the new union, as Mr.
Gautsch and president Jim Worden
look on.
Alpha chapter of Phi Kappa Epsilon was founded on April 9, 1935, on
the La Crosse campus. Dr. Ross Spangler was the sponsor and first advisor.
In honor of its first anniversary, Alpha chapter decided to offer
annually two scholastic keys, one to be given to the highest ranking freshman
and one to be given to the chapter member with the highest scholastic
record. The freshman key is still maintained and awarded by the organization.
This year the Kappas were privileged to be the first organization on
campus to donate to the new student union fund. The fraternity hoped
that through this example other organizations in the college would follow
in contributing toward this goal.
Leadership was provided by president, Jim Worden; vice-president,
Bill Haines; secretary, Ted Knudson; and treasurer, Howard Oda. Serving
as the advisor was Mr. Gautsch of the athletic department.

it ranks fourth in age as compared to the other sororities.
The activities of the group include a Homecoming float and tea, a rush
tea, a senior banquet, a stuffed animal sale, a Mothers' Day banquet,
a party at the La Crosse Children's Home, service work for the college
health center and the Red Cross, the variety show, and the Song Fest.
Mrs. Hoard was Pi Tau Epsilon's advisor. Officers were president, Alice
Storandt; vice-president, Charlene Melvin; secretary, Diana Severson;
and treasurer, Anita Isakson.

The Campus Controls Council is the La Crosse State governing
body which is operated entirely by students. It has a council chairman
who is in charge of organization, publication and news and a representative
on the Social Committee. Representatives of the organization also
serve on the assembly committee, men's and women's intramural boards,
and the dramatics and music committees. The members have complete
charge of the annual Homecoming festivities and the May Prom.
First organized in 1911 and revised in 1949, the council now serves the
college more efficiently with twenty members (four of which are officers
elected by the entire student body) than it did at its inception when it had
only twelve members. The sixteen representatives are chosen by the
student body; four of these representatives are officer candidates who
received the second highest total of votes in the spring election.
Officers were president, Bob Knilans; vice president, Burt Wethe;
secretary, Dixie Collins; and treasurer, Carol Johnson.
Bob Knilans and Burt Wethe evalu­
ate their carefully laid plans for
Homecoming activities.

Students from Somalia, Korea,
Hawaii, and Panama were honored
at the W.S.G.A. tea.
The Women's Self Government Association was organized in 1949. In
its infant stage, W.S.G.A. held teas, sponsored the Big-Little Sister Hike,
and guided all freshman girls in their initial experiences at La Crosse.
Throughout the years, this organization has successfully carried on its
initial projects. This year a new project has been included; W.S.G.A.
introduced foreign students to the faculty at a tea.
The officers were president, Marilyn Ocasek; vice-president, Pat Meves;
secretary, Diane Denton; treasurer, Elizabeth Petrakis. The advisors were
Miss Cartwright and Miss Lawrence.

The organization of the house presidents had its beginning in 1949,
with the founding of W.S.G.A.
The purpose of this governing body is to more closely unite the various
houses on campus. At the regular meetings, house presidents discuss their
problems and attempt to solve them. It is the duty of each house president
to enforce the rules set up by W.S.G.A.
The president was Shirley Tock and the secretary, Elizabeth Krueger.
Miss Cartwright was the advisor.

Alpha Phi Omega, a national service fraternity, is composed of col1ege
and university men who are or have been affiliated with the Boy Scouts.
An A.P.O. chapter at La Crosse State was organized by Fabian Jacobs
in May, 1951, and he served as the first president. Kappa Gamma chapter
received its national charter in May of 1952, and has been operating
continually since that time.
Among special projects it has rendered are pencils for Korea, scout
swimming program, assistance at registration and forensic and debate
meets, Explorer Scout Social, freshman men's smoker, assistance for the
Bloodmobile, and supervision of the recreation program for polio patients.
This year the organization sponsored a Korean student on the campus.
William Keyes was president of the organization. Advisors were Mr.
Davies, Mr. Fish, and Mr. Gunning.

Senior girls ham up a tap routine
at the fall Hen's Party, sponsored by
WSO.
The motto of the Women's Service Organization-"We Serve Others"is
formulated around the initials of the club's name. The group has considered
affiliation with the national honorary service sorority but has
made no definite step in that direction.
Membership is open to sophomore, junior, and senior women by a
general sign-up list and by recommendations of the various academic
division heads. Throughout the year WSO serves students and faculty by
publishing a news bulletin weekly, proctoring for freshman exams, ushering
for school functions, and sponsoring the Bloodmobile. The organization
sent information to returning upperclassmen before the opening of the fall
term, sponsored two Hen's Parties for faculty and student women and gave
a Mom's Dinner on Dad's Day.
The officers were Mary Heipp, president; Marlene Burke, vice-president;
Judy Ulrich, recording secretary; Mary McCune, corresponding
secretary; and Ann Strodthoff, treasurer. The advisors were Mrs. Day and
Miss Schuh.

Los Parlanchines (The Chatterers) is more commonly called the
Spanish Club. Advanced students organized the club last year for the
purpose of practical experience in using the Spanish language. This is the
second Spanish club to appear on the La Crosse campus; the first, La
Sociedad Hispanica, which was founded in 1917, was the second largest
organization on campus, until it was discontinued in 1927.
In order to become a member of Los Parlanchines, one must have had
more than one year of Spanish or be able to speak the Spanish language.
Meetings are held informally once a month, and Spanish speaking
people from Viterbo College and the city of La Crosse join the students
from the college. Annually the group prepares a Spanish meal and has a
traditional Christmas party.
The officers for the year were president, Dagny Marking; vice-president,
Ellen Elfner; secretary, Don Jacobson; treasurer, Mary Fiebig. Mrs.
Nixon was the advisor.

The Fledgling, the student literary magazine on campus, derives its
name from the idea that one has just taken flight or has just begun to give
something of himself. The magazine has been known by this name since
1939; formerly, it was connected with the Racquet. The material for the
magazine is contributed entirely by the students and printed with letterpress
or offset, depending on the decision of the editors.
The Fledgling is published at irregular intervals when a sufficient size
booklet can be printed. This self-supporting magazine is organized by
students who are interested in both prosaic and poetical works.
Mr. Wulling, the advisor, is the owner of the Sumac Press, which is
used in producing the Fledgling at low cost. The use of the press was also
donated to a publication similar to the Fledgling, called the Rick Rack, a
compilation of literary miscellany of an advanced composition class of 1942.

Tostrud.

Prospective co-editors of 1958-59,
Karen Nelsestuen and Judy Weber,
perform duties of associate editors.
The annual has been one of La Crosse State's leading publications
since 1911. In 1939, the yearbook changed its name from the Racquet to the
La Crosse to make it more easily distinguishable from the newspaper.
For the second consecutive year, a full-sized annual has been published
by the staff. There are two additions to the book this year: pictures of
various student houses and informal pictures of senior activities. With the
establishment of the Audio-Visual Center, all group pictures were taken
by James Crews and Tom Hirsch. In addition, all individual pictures were
taken during fall registration; therefore, everyone enrolled during the first
semester is pictured in the La Crosse.
Sharon Repp and Norma Tennison served as co-editors of the annual
staff. Mr. Konrad was the editorial adviser and Mrs. Hebberd, literary
advisor.

Catalina Club is a synchronized swim club open to all who can qualify
by passing skill tests. The club has been performing for the past ten years,
although Aquacades had been presented by W. R. A. before this group
was organized.
The Catalina Club presents an annual aquacade each spring. This year
the theme was "Sandman's Sonata." The show is planned and directed
entirely by the members. The traditional highlight of each show is the
solo number performed by the president. The group also supervises the
free swim periods after school and takes charge of the pool for the annual
Play Day.
Officers were president, Marlene Frankowski Piojda; vice-president,
Kathryn Mohr Naukkari; and secretary-treasurer, Kathryn McMahon
McBride. Advisor of the club was Miss Betty Baird.

A contest sponsored by the Outing Club asking for suggestions for a
new name resulted in the selection of the name Coulee Trekkers. The
organization has tried to live up to its imaginative name by sponsoring
diverse activities.
The Trekkers, along with C. C. C. and Social Committee, sponsored the
first Frost Frolic to be held at La Crosse. Earlier in the season the club
sponsored a Halloween Party, a dance at the Myrick Shelter House, and
the annual cleaning of the Snow Bowl. Semester vacation found the
Trekkers enjoying their anticipated ski trip to Telemark.
President Don Osborne was assisted by vice-president, Dave Jenkins;
secretary, Marcia Kerner; and treasurer, Diane Louret. Serving as advisors
were Miss Hamilton and Mr. Lengfeld.
Hooray, hooray, we're going away

Informality is the keynote of Jazz
Club meetings led by John Jenks,
president.
One of the newer clubs on campus is the La Crosse State Jazz Club.
The organization is interested in bringing together followers of jazz and in
promoting programs for the members' enjoyment.
At the La Crosse County Fair in August of last year, the club assisted
in the promotion of the Duke Ellington Band and brought the band back
to La Crosse this year with the cooperation of the C. C. C. for a concert and
dance at Mary E. Sawyer Auditorium.
During the second semester the club initiated a plan whereby students
on the campus could purchase records at considerable discounts.
Mr. Wille served as the Jazz Club's advisor. President was John Jenks
and vice-president, Doug MacFarlane.

Balance and contrast in level offer
this pleasing picture from last year's
Orchesis program.
The Orchesis Club is composed of students who are interested in
modern and interpretive dance. Students pass skill tests and compose a
dance in order to join; they are judged by the members for admittance.
This dance group is different from others, because it strives for individual
self-expression through movements to music.
Elizabeth Sehon, first sponsor of the organization on the La Crosse
campus, was a member of the original Orchesis founded at the University
of Wisconsin in 1920.
Orchesis presented a spring program in connection with Mothers' Day
activities. Dance numbers were also performed for Play Day and Sports
Day, and members demonstrated various skills for the Teachers' Workshop.
Officers for the year 1957-58 were Jean Fogtman, president; Linda
Gerard, vice-president; Judy Weber, secretary; and Mary Zieloski,
treasurer. The advisor was Miss Carter.

The Tumbling Club is a social as well as a service organization. It is
social in the sense that it provides enjoyment through participation to the
members; it acts as a service organization by performing during the half
times of two home basketball games. The group also helps with Play Day
and Sports Day, which the college sponsors in the spring.
Girls with tumbling ability or the desire to learn tumbling skills are
urged to join. They may prove their qualifications through a series of skill
tests set up by the club.
Advising the group for 1957-58 was Mrs. Day. Officers were president,
Dixie Collins; vice-president, Carol Sanft; and secretary-treasurer, Shirley
Schauder.

L-Club, organized in 1923, has seen many changes throughout the years.
When the club first existed, anyone receiving a letter in athletics or debate
was qualified to join. For this reason, there were women as well as men
belonging to the club.
During the first year of organization the club sponsored banquets,
promoted forensics, music, and various social affairs. One of the major
features of the group at that time was the duty of election of athletic
captains. The first annual Homecoming celebration in 1923 was sponsored
by this club.
There are nine major sports in which a letter may be won. It is the
aim of this club to make the wearing of the college "L" an honor.

Ron Chase follows Mr. Steuck's
directions in posting new material, as
Ed Steinbrecher and Gordie Wellman
kibitz.
The Men's Intramural Athletic Association was organized in 1928. At
that time, under the leadership of Mr. Lipovetz, a versatile program was
offered to as many men as possible. Unlike present-day activities, those
offered in the club's early years were checkers, life saving, speedball,
five-hundred, bridge, and water basketball.
Among 1957-58 activities were football, basketball, curling, bowling,
inter-class swim meets, badminton, softball, volleyball, horse shoes, and
tennis. The present board of controls offers sports solely for the sake
of sport.
The officiating board was composed of president, Ron Chase; vice­
president, Bob Auer; secretary, Ed Steinbrecher; and treasurer, Gordon
Wellman. Mr. Steuck was the advisor.

Mr. Vickroy gives helpful hints to
president, Bob Vaningan.
The Officials' Club was founded last year by Bob Vaningan, a member,
and was sponsored by Phi Epsilon Kappa. It developed under the latter
fraternity and was made an independent organization this year. The idea
behind the club was to put men into the field knowing not only the problems
of coaching but also the rules and the problems of officiating.
Beginning with ninety-four men, the club has stabilized at about sixty
active members.
The Officials' Club has accepted the responsibility of officiating all
men's intramural sports. Two-hundred-sixteen games were worked outside
of the college this year. The club also sponsored a basketball clinic and
cooperated with Phi Epsilon Kappa for the West German Gymnastic Show.
Advisors of the group were Mr. Vickroy and Mr. Stueck. Officers
were president, Bob Vaningan; vice-president, John Larsen; secretaries,
Ron Richardson and Ed Steinbrecher; and treasurer, Lee Gilbert.

"The Line-up" includes Miss Baird,
Kathy Krueger, Miss Webster, Marion
Zimmerman, and Sue Lewerenz.
The Women's Recreation Association is composed of all women students
on campus. It was preceded by the Women's Athletic Association, founded
in 1923. This earlier organization used to give an "L" to girls who attained
specified qualifications.
The intramural activities include field hockey, volleyball, basketball,
bowling, curling, winter sports, badminton, softball, tennis, and golf. These
are individually organized and run by sport heads plus representatives of
the affiliated organizations of the Women's Officials Club, Orchesis,
Catalina Club, and Tumbling Club.
In addition to the latter activities, W. R. A. sponsored an alumni field
hockey game and breakfast during Homecoming weekend; class team
competitions of basketball, volleyball, and field hockey; a college sports
day; a high school play day; and the Mothers' Day breakfast.
Officers for 1957-58 were Marian Zimmerman, president; Kathy
Krueger, vice-president; Jean Dorsey, secretary; and Sue Lewerenz,
treasurer. The advisors were Miss Beatrice Baird and Miss Webster.

The choir evolved from the Women's Glee Club, founded in 1910, and
the Men's Glee Club, organized in 1914; it performed for the first time as a
coeducational group in 1939. The two glee clubs presented Handel's
"Messiah" in that year with the assistance of various church choirs of the
city. It was referred to as the Choir for the first time in 1948.
The sixty-five voice group appeared for the first time this year at
the Thanksgiving Convocation. Under the direction of Mr. Mewaldt, the
choir combined with the String Sinfonia and dramatics department in
presenting the Christmas program.
The main event of the year was the annual presentation of Handel's
"Messiah" in cooperation with the United Church Choir of La Crosse.
The group sang for the State Convention of Engineers at the Stoddard
Hotel in March. In addition to its annual Spring Concert in May, the choir
also sang at the Commencement Exercises.
Convocation appearance or weekly
practice finds the choir working
closely under the direction of Mr.
Mewaldt.

Under the direction of President F. A. Cotton, the La Crosse Teachers
College Band was organized in 1912 with forty students and faculty
members composing the group.
Although the La Crosse Teachers College was among the younger
schools in Wisconsin, it was among the first to organize a college band.
The organization took part in steamboat excursions to Winona where
concerts were played on the campus of Winona Teachers College. One of
the early trips by the group was to accompany the La Crosse State orator
to Stevens Point for the state contest in 191:3. The La Crosse Band was the
only one present and added color to the occasion that had never been seen
at former gatherings. In 195:3, the band accompanied the football team to
the Cigar Bowl game at Tampa, Florida.
Cool and clear are the notes pour­
ing from the horns of MacFarlane,
Heyer, and Niemeyer.

Today the band, composed of fifty members, is directed by Mr.
Mewaldt. He has divided the organization into two smaller groups, the
gray band and the maroon band, which take turns playing at home basketball
games. The band performs as a marching unit during the football
season.
Highlighting activity of the year was the local Music Clinic at which
the La Crosse State and Eau Claire State College bands were hosts for
the directors and bands from area high schools. The traditional winter
concert was presented in early March. William Shogren, trombonist, and
Robert Whitworth, clarinetist, were the featured soloists.
Student director of the band was Lee Nordrum. Jack Heide served
as drum major.
Dave Hallberg and the band put
the finishing touches on a Spring
Concert selection.

The College Sinfonia was formed in 1948 under the guidance of Mr.
Annett, who is the present director. The group plays string compositions,
classical, symphonic, or modern, both for the pleasure of its members and
the entertainment of its audience.
Annual performances for the organization included playing for the
Honors Day Program, the Spring Concert, and the Senior Convocation.
The Sinfonia also presented a program for the Garden Club, combined
with the choir and dramatics department in presenting the Christmas
Convocation, and performed at an Elroy school assembly.
Officers were president, Janice Strek; vice-president, Carol Vanderzee;
secretary-treasurer, Jeanne Curran; and librarian, Leonard McCune.

Work is slow but steady as the
Canterbury Club float takes form.
As the year ends Canterbury Club, the Episcopal student group on
campus, has many activities to look back upon. There was the Homecom­
ing parade in which their float placed second; the Diocesan Conference at
which Canterbury Club was well represented; the redecoration of the
chapel at Christ Church, the sponsor; the Pancake Supper on Shrove
Tuesday, which is an annual event; the appointment of Jim Philps as
chairman of the 1958 Canterbury Conference of the Fifth Province; and
the monthly corporate communions. These and many others now become
memories as the year closes.
Officers were Jim Philps, Marlaine White, Sara Bradford, Donna
Skenandore, Mary Cavouras, and Ron Sperry. Mr. Frothingham was
Canterbury Club advisor and Father Trueman, chaplain.

Pres Club is open to all students of the Presbyterian faith. It strives
to develop a feeling of highest attainment in the Christian life within each
member; this goal will aid the student both during his college career and
in the future. Understanding and appreciation of other religions are
developed through lectures and movies.
Pres Club invited foreign students as guests at a luncheon given by
the Presbyterian Women's Fellowship in October; the theme of the gather­
ing was Friendship Festival Luncheon.
Byron Wechter served as moderator at the meetings. Mr. Wimberly
was the faculty sponsor and Reverend Bell, the sp'ritual leader.
The dinner for foreign students was
the occasion for club member, Bonnie
Hulbert, and her guests to enjoy the
fall sunshine.

to the United Student Fellowship to encourage membership from Protestant
churches other than the Congregational. It is sponsored by the Congregational
and Evangelical and Reformed Churches, although it is open to all
students of the Protestant faith.
The bi-monthly meetings of U. S. F. consist of a cost supper, a guest

Led by Captain Bruce Boegel, the Indian golfers
lost only one dual meet while winning ten. The
lone setback came at the hands of the University of
Minnesota. La Crosse again captured the State Meet
title, winning by 46 strokes over second place White­
water. With Don Paul placing first in the State
Meet, the Indians took three of the first five places.
The team looks strong again for the '58 season and it
looks like another first in the State Meet to be held
at Green Lake Country Club.

Bolstered by the fine play of
three freshmen and a transfer student,
the La Crosse State tennis
squad coached by Cliff DeVoll established
a 4-1 dual mark and captured
the 1957 Wisconsin State College tennis
championship. ]'reshmen Roger
VerVelde, Ed Stenger, and Jan Bartelt,

Vollmar in the successful season.
Representing La Crosse in the state meet were
VerVelde and Wethe in singles and the Dernbach­
Bartelt combination in doubles. La Crosse's number
one man, VerVelde, trimmed Tom Malchow
of Oshkosh, 6-4, 6-4, for the conference singles

9-0 whitewashing of Stevens Point and wins over
Loras, 7-2, and Mankato, 6-1.
Dernbach and Wethe were co-captains of the

La Crosse State. The M. 1. A. A., under the direction
of Mr. Steuck, has widened its program
in order to increase participation by students.
This year's objectives for a better all-around program
included bowling competition against a team
from the University of North Dakota in which the
La Crosse team managed to tie 2-2, thanks to Dick
Ritger's 280 lead-off game. In hopes of sending
our intramural teams to other playdays and competitions,
Mr. Steuck has said, "Have teams, will
travel, need money."

Mr. Rasmusen and his Audio-Visual crew deserve a big
'hurrah' for a great deal of the photography in the 1957-58
La Crosse. For the first time at La Crosse State, student
photographers-Tom Hirsh and Jim Crews-shot and developed
all organization group pictures, faculty portraits,
and also the individual student pictures. Mary Rehwaldt
and Pauline Martin helped in the latter task. This spring
Robert Thompson joined the staff.
Many of the sports shots, organization informals, and
college life pictures are further indication of consumed
hours. The amount of work is immeasurable; however, the
willingness to give up personal time is what the staff
remembers. Thank you so much ...
.ba 6rOHe [;Jitorial Staff

The cooperation of The La Crosse Tribune with our college is an exceptional
example of city-campus relations. When students are received in a manner comparable
to that displayed by the workers at the Tribune, they cannot fail to
meet the business world in later years a'S optimistic, eager, cooperative people.
Credit is especially due to Clayton Weber, head of the Engraving Department,
and his co-workers, Ladd Bolstad, Al Carlsen, and Hal Tust. By voluntarily
taking on additional tasks beyond the regular engraving and by offering
worthwhile advice, Mr. Weber has shown personal interest in our yearbook.
Harry Larson and Ed Huebner should very definitely be recognized for a
portion of the photography appearing in this La Crosse.
The art work on the division pages and fly-sheet was effectively developed
in accordance with our theme by Robert Hess of the Tribune's advertising
department.
We wish to extend a sincere thank you ...
