Regular college instructors taught the members of the SJ\ T in survey­ing, map making, mathematics, phy­~ics, hygiene an<l sanita tion. Severa l hours daily were devotee! to drill and physical trai ning, and the g roup had its own footba ll team. The men were in un ifo rm and dr ill ed with ri fles; a captai n and two lieutenants . wt"re in charge.

History Repea ts Itself Hi story repeated itself in Februa ry

of 1943, when 350 av iation st udents of the 97 th Co llege T raini ng De­tachment wok O\'er Nelson Hal l. Adjusfment of the co llege program made it possible for the regular faculty members to teach most o f the classes. The subjects taught were physics, history, English , mathema­ti cs, geog raphy and civ il air regula­tt0ns. Several special instructo rs we re added to the regul ar faculty. The municipal airport was const ructed, and ten hours of ac tual flight trai n­ing were p rov ided for the trainees.

Arrive a nd D epart at Intervals Each month saw the a rrival of one

squadro n to replace a departed squad ron. Approximately a year after the fi rst g rou p a rrived , the program was discontinued. The name was changed to the 3057th Army Air Forces Base Unit. At the present time, onl y a few soldiers are here, and they will leave soon.

Campu, Limited At first the ompus occupied five

acre,. The first floor of the building containeJ the model <lcpartment , second floor the normal department p roper, and the third floor the ~cicnce Jabs :ind cbssrooms.

The great railroad str ike of 1894 hampered the building of the school ,·cry much as supplies co uld not be transported. The resu lt . was that when the schoo l openeJ on Septem­ber 17, 1894, the building was not yet completed. The first students p robab ly remember the noi se of the saw and hammer as well as the sc ience and literatu re they Ie, rned that first year.

In 1898 five ac res were added to the campus and a plan of landscape ga rdeni ng was introduced which has been co nsistently ca rried out. That is the reason this campus is one of the most beautiful in the state today.

Experi ment at School The Normal School was very much

an expe riment the fi rst year. Almost all the teachers ha<l never taugh t in a normal schoo l before, so they were free to carry out their own ideas. Theron B. Pray, first president, how ­ever, had g reat co nfidence in them and in the outcome o f the experi -mcnt.

In 1894-5 the enrollment was 20 1 an<l the fac ul!y members numbered 13. The first POINTER was issued in December, 1895. This early paper was a litera ry effo rt rather than th e co llege newspape r it is today.

The first cata log gave advice dis ­courag,ing two st u<lents rooming _to ­gethe r. The schoo l see med to thmk it was a h indrance to rapi<l p rogress anJ the development of indepen­dence and self-reli ance. The co urses in 1894-5 we re offered for high schoo l graduates and others of :,bility. Most of the students lu<l not fini shed high schoo l, howeve r.

In 1899 th e college haJ acquired qui te-<t-co lleEl'ien-ot:-st-at.uatj,'--Ma.rl people came to see it. One fellow,

Romance \X' as Active The rom.intic spot about which

you may read is the stone quarry behind the old Normal school. The qu:ury was surrounded with trees onJ filled with buttercup flowers. This was the spot where coeds would repose while their boyfriends hitched their horses to the tree 1,mbs whlCh overhung the streets.

Romance must have been in the oi r. because a Normal Pointer of

. 1895 ca rries this rom.1ntic news item : "O n Wednesday evening. December 11. Miss Ethe l K irwan was united in marriage to Dr. Robert D . Rood. Miss Kirwan has the dist inction of being the first Norm.ti student to enter into the st:ite of matrimon}'."

Girl s were thinking about fellows ye.irs ago, for in ' the 1909 Iri s the Ste\'ens Point Normal gi rls balloteJ. r:t. ting the men stuJents on sever.ii points. Two figures well know~ to alumni :1nd students who received re,ognition were the fo rmer F. N. Spindler. who w.1s consiJe red the most bashful 111.1n in schoo l. anJ H. R.

from the p resent time according to a Norm:il Pointer of t 902: .. A bicycle club was organized by Prof. Culve r, anJ several delightfu l runs were taken into the country a r o u n d Stevens Point."

May we be forgiven a chuckle as we look back over these things to those days when ox teams plodc.led the streets of Stevens Point and the c.1mpus was abundant with wil<l flowers . CSTC is still to each a lum­nus the school it was when he w,lk­ed the halls. ·
