The deer was subsequent ly re­leased, whereupon he ran several blocks and then collapsed and died of an internal hemo rrhage. The body was confiscated by the conservation department. Fred J. Schmeeck le pur­chased the head from the conserva­tion department and presented it to the dispensary.

WE ASK YOUR SUPPORT The POINTER is happy to extend its welcome to the _Fresh~an class.

It is our hope that you will find this paper a real help m making your adjustment to college Ii fe.

To the students of CSTC who alr~ady know the POINTER we promise that we shall attempt to give the same complete coverage and im­partial reporting that has marked the POINTERS of the past. We regret the lack of some of our major social and athletic events, but we hope that the news sto ries and feature articles we substitute will prove equally in­teresting.

In a large part the material printed in this paper will depend on you --our readers. It is the things you do, the opinions you voice that _m_a ke our headline stories. Think of the POINTER as an organ of your opinion,

. as a record of your school year. CSTC's decreased enrollment this year places smaller funds at our

disposal and in order to finance the POINTER we will have to run more ads tha~ usual. We ask our readers to remember, however, that CSTC is one of the few State Teachers Colleges in Wisconsin to publish a pa per every week. If it is possible we hope to continue the weekly Pointer and we ask your support in so doing. . . . .

The POINTER will be g lad to receive the suggestions of ,ts readers. We are here to serve you, and are anxious to better our service. Remember: This is your POINTER.

Review History Of · .Central State

It .a ll started in 1891. The Wiscon­sin state legislature authorized the building of a sixth state normal to be located in northern Wisconsin. After considerable competition with Wausau over the question of where it would be located, Stevens Point won, and the sum of $50,000 was raised by the county and city for the building. .

The building of the school was greatly hampered by the rai lroad strike of 1894 . Supplies cou ld not be transported, so when the school opened on September 1 T, 1894, the building was not completed. The first classes were carried on to the accompaniment of the hammer and saw.

Theron B. Pray was the first presi­dent. The enrollment for 1894-5 was 201 and there were 13 faculty members.

The courses offered during the first year we re a two yea r e lementary cou rse, a four-year English-scientifi c course, a one-year professional course and four yeor courses in Latin and German.

The Model School took up most of the first floor. The regular class­rooms were on the second floor. What is now the main office was the library and reading room. The present library was a large study hall. The library office of today was the president's office. On the third floor were the science laboratories.

The basement was much, the same as is, except that where the Health Service now is, was a playroom for the children of the Model (Train­ing) school.

(CONTINUED NEXT WEEK)

Council Elections On October 5

Nomihation papers for students who wish to serve 9n the Student Council this .year must be filed with the class adviser or division director not later than 4 p.m. on Friday, Sep­tember 29. A student may sign four petitions for representatives from his .class and one petition for a divi­sional representative.

Students may secure nomination papers at the main office. Elections will take place on October 5. It is important that every class and divi­sion have its quota of candidates at the coming election . The Student Council has an important voice in school government. All students are urged to suppo rt the Council either by running as the representatives of classes or divisions or by actively supporting . the candidates.

Strange Customs In CS TC'S Past

Freshmen are probably unaware of the many strange customs which have held sway here since CSTC first made its appearance as a Normal school 50 years ago. In the golden anniversary issue of the POINTER in May, 1944, several of these amus­ing and strange early traditions were described, and POINTER herewith re-prints several of these incidents for the benefit of all new students.

For instance, in the early days the junior class always considered itself the ruler ·of the roost but this title was disruted smartly by the seniors . Each o these two rival classes was anxious to prove its supremacy by nailing its flag to the polt on the roof of the college.

After one class had raised its flag , the other class would tear it down and put their banner up in its place. One night a g roup of juniors who were busy nai ling down the hatch leading to the roof were trapped by the police, who mistook them for prowlers!

Juniors Gain

The juniors gained a point in their favor when they managed to print the word JUNIORS in large letters on the skylight above the li ­brary. This, naturally, was more than the seniors could stand, and a group of thein reached the roof in a min ­ute. After reaching the roof, a few seniors discouraged the ardent ju­niors from mounting the ladde r leading to the roof by the simple method on their hands, whi le the rest of the committee removed the offending word.

(CONTINUED NEXT WEEK)

Victory Fair Held • About 200 parents and friends a t­tended the Victory G arden Fair of the Intermediate department of the Junior High held in the college gym Friday ·evening. The fair was spon­sored by Misses Leah L. Diehl and Lydia Pfeiffer, and Dr. Clarence D. Jayne, the su pervisors of the Inter­me.diate division , and by the student teachers of that division .

Fred J . Schmeekle, assis ted by Miss Edna Carlsten, was the judge.

Among the fruits and vegetab les exhibited were apples, beans, carrots, corn, cabbage, lettuce, kohlrabi, squash, tomatoes, tu rni ps, g rapes, onions, parsley, pars nips, pepper, banana, peanuts, pumpkins, potatoes and rhubarb. · .

Exhibited among the fruits and vegetables was a bunch of cran­berries gathered at the Biron cran­berry marshes when Miss PEeiffer visited tl\em wiJh representatives of her geography class last week.

Students Enjoy Entertainment

That the Chamber of Commerce · of Stevens Point is v itally interested in CSTC was demonstrated recently to students and faculty . .

Shortly after the opening . of school, students were welcomed by a committee of Stevens Point busi­ness men who g reeted them at an as­sembly in the _aud itorium. Short talks were given by Donald W. Copps, president of !!Je-(hamber oF Commerce, and bf May~. Clayton. '

Announcement was made that the students and faculty were to be guests of the Chamber of Commerce at a Saturday matinee of the movie, "Going My Way". · As students left the auditorium they were given

Thank You! The students of CSTC wish to ex­

tend their thanks· to the Stevens Point Chamber of Commerce for the stationery packets and for the com­plirrr'entary tickets to the movie, "Going My Way." Both were greatly appreciated.

packets of stat ionery imprinted with the wo rds, "Central State Teachers College".

The following week, faculty mem­bers were guests of the business men · at a banquet · at Hotel Whiting. Talks were given by Attorney Rich­ard T. Reinhold t, Mayor Clayton, President William C. Hansen, Miss May Roach and Dale H ansmann.

Members of the Chamber of Com­merce college committee are Louis G. Schnittger, chairman, Russell Pearson, H arold Johnson, Robert J . Breitenstein, Wi-lson S. Delzell, Miss Roach, 0 ." W. Neale and Ben W. Dagneau.

DEAN STEINER

To the Student Body: " This is your Go lden Opportuni­

ty. " When our late President Sims used this phrase in we lcoming stu­dents to S.P.N., h is li steners we re not always awa re of the true mean­ing of the statement . The sch_po l had adequate equipment, a fine coopera­tive facu lty, and an excellent fr iend­ly spirit of tea m wo rk between the students and facu lty.

Our situat ion today is somewhat simi la r. The Coll ege is not over­crowded , our equipment is most ade­qu ate, and our faculty and student body a most hsrmonious group.

Monday, September 11. We have arrived. We, meaning the girls who have invaded Nelson Hall after al­most two years of exile. The halls no longer echo with the heavy tramp of G .I. shoes. There a re no commands to "Fall Out!" Instead, each dormitory window boasts gay draperies, . there are pictures on the waNs again, and the bedspreads look comfortably rumpled.

Some of us are fortunate enough to be returning in our last yea r to Nelson Hall. Many more are looking forward to spending several interest­ing years here. Of the old Dormites there are 21. Of the new, 62 . Dur­ing the coming year many names will become familiar as these gi rls prove themselves in va rious fields of activi ty.
