On the twenty-fifth day of March, 1905, Gov- ernor Joseph W. Folk signed the bill that created the Fifth Dis- trict Normal School. This act crowned the efforts and ful- filled the hopes of a number of the progressive citizens of this part of the state who had been working and hoping for about a quarter of a century. A few weeks later a commission, con- sisting of five representative men of the district, was ap- pointed by the Governor to select a location for the school. After inspecting the sites and considering the propositions of- fered by several towns the commission reported in favor of Maryville. The town, together with Nodaway County, gave eighty-six acres of land for a campus, and $58,672.50 in cash. The campus was increased to 117 acres. The first Board of Regents was organized at Maryville, September 12, 1905, and at a meeting held in St. Joseph, Jan- uary 4, 1906, selected Mr. Frank Deerwester, of the Normal School at Warrensburg, as the first president. A faculty was selected March 13, 1906, and the first session (a summer ses- sion), of the school began in June, 1906, and was held in the High School Building of Maryville. The enrollment at this session was 273. During the four years used in constructing the present building the school occupied a seminary building, formerly used by a Methodist school, together with rooms in the town that could be made suitable for recitation work. Nearly one-half of the present building was ready for use the fall of 1910, and the school took possession in order to avoid the necessary long walks between recitation hours. The first president was succeeded in turn by Homer M. Cook, H. K. Taylor and the present incumbent, Ira Richardson, who began his work in this capacity during the spring quarter of 1913. liem proc (y 27: ж | Mj Тік lit = (8) Hon. Uel W.

On that date a conference composed of the State Superintendent of Schools and the Presidents of the State University and of the State Normal Schools adopted a number of reg- luations, among the more significant of which were the following: “The professional degree for the completion of the 120-hour course given! in the normal schools and the School of Education of the Uni- versity of Missouri, shall be the Bachelor of Science in Education, and,‘‘When this conference finds that the conditions named in this re- port have been fully met, college work done in any of the institutions shall be accepted hour for hour in the other institutions and the grad- uates of the 120-hour course shall be admitted to the Graduate School. This means that we are a recognized standard four-year college and that the students of this district have the opportunity of getting a full college course in Maryville, which, to them, is home. It means that the high quality of the work done here is recognized, and that when one of our graduates goes to the university there will be no question as to his standing, for it is “hour for hour.” It means that N inu АНЕ Biel EH SSS pape ij.

А ИШ ШЕШ ERROR rca a ۱ students entering our college department must meet the standard college entrance requirements, and that the distinction between col- lege and secondary rank work will continue to be sharply made. Other phases of school administration and of school life have been keeping step in this marked advance. The various faculty com- mittees that characterize an up-to-date standard college have been reorganized for greater efficiency. For example, one committee has charge of admissions, classification, advanced standing, and gradua- tion, its major work being carried on through sub-committees. An- other committee has in hand the public assemblies and events, the cal- endar, etc., and a different one oversees all athletic activities and re- lated problems. One that is of peculiar interest to the graduates is the Committee of Recommendations. This committee has prepared a rather complete system of blanks which will not only facilitate, but also make more effective the efforts of the school to render service to both the teachers and the school officials. Other committees have charge of the correspondence and extension work, and there is one on publications. The Committee on Student Welfare and the one on student organizations are of especial interest to the student body. The curriculum likewise has responded to the change. All courses have been given definite and significant numbers in accordance with a comprehensive scheme. The requirements for the various diplomas have been more clearly stated and are now in more permanent form than was ever possible heretofore. The faculty has grown in both numbers and in the amount of preparation represented. The de- partments have been equipped to the high standard expected of col- leges of this type and rank. A splendid greenhouse has been built, standard tennis court laid out, and the normal campus itself beauti- fied according to the plans of a landscape architect. The school has become a member of the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Associa- tion, and competes in football, basket ball, base ball, track and field athletics. Also, the school is a member of the recently organized National Association of the State Teachers’ Colleges. That the students respond to and appreciate this advance is shown by the fact that during the past four quarters every attendance record has been broken, in some cases the increase in attendance over that of the corresponding quarter of the previous year being as high ав 80 per cent. Moreover, the students have organized themselves into the usual college class organizations—freshmen, sopho:tiores, juniors and seniors, and the various student activities have been like- wise affected. In fact, the whole atmosphere has become typically college, and the students act, feel and look like they are “in college, and £hey ave.

First, it is intended for those students who have completed the course of the Normal Training School, and who may choose to continue their work in the high school. TS SECONDARY DEPARTMENT of the Normal School, It fills another need in the close and vital relationship it aims to maintain with the other high schools of the district and state. And while it is in no sense a rival or competitor of the other high schools it offers to all students whose op- portunity for such training would be otherwise impossible, or to those whose four years’ high school course has, for any reason, been left unfinished, the way to a complete and thor- ough preparation for college, or training for the immediate call to active life. Thus students from the Trainin'g School, from the high schools of the district, and from the high schools in general are by design to fit naturally and advantageously into the work of the Normal High School. The teaching force is largely that of the College and the same material advantages are open to both; and the college life, which is ever before and around the high school pupil, offers its appeal to him to profit by the advantages that are so immediate to him.

W. C. A. for 1916-17 HE Y. W. C. A. of the Fifth District Normal School is now T in its tenth year, and its activities are covering a wide field. Since January 1, 1917, its membership has in- creased more than 50 per cent. The Big Sister Movement spirit has been developed by giving aid to the new girls in registration and in trying to make them feel at home. Closely allied with this movement has been the work of the Social Service Committee in its ef- forts to cheer the girls by sending flowers to the sick and by calling on them. The Intercollegiate Committee mailed Christmas greet- ings this year to twenty-two other associations in Missouri. The devotional meetings, held each Wednesday morning, show a marked increase in attendance. Two series of study were used this year. The one was a character study of the representative women of the Bible; the other, a College Girls’ Series, in which the problems confronting the college girl of today were discussed. The programs have been led by stu- dents, by faculty members, and by people outside the school. In each there was a special message for the girls. A Washington Birthday program was given on that day before the entire school. It was in the form of a tableau, with girls posing within a frame to represent familiar song characters while the song was being sung behind the curtain. The girls were highly praised for this program. The cabinet has been alive to our needs. Last summer the association sent two delegates to the conference held at Estes Park, and they are n ow planning to send several dele- gates to the conference this coming summer at Hollister, Mis- souri. The visit of Miss Ina Scherrebeck, the Secretary for the South Central Field, stimulated all the girls to better work, and helped the new cabinet members particularly. ( 76 ) A luncheon was given by the advisory board, Misses Fan- nie Hope and Katherine Helwig, during Miss Scherrebeck’s visit, at which she and the members of both the new and re- tiring cabinets were guests. A new installation service which was worked out for this year has gained favor. It has been used elsewhere since its adoption! here. Finance is a big problem, but the girls have various means of earning money to meet their obligations. During the Teachers’ Association, held at the Normal in October, lunch- eon was served cafeteria style to about five hundred teachers, and at different times candy, popcorn and ice cream sales have been given. A lunch stand conducted during the Annual In- ter-High School Track Meet in April also yields good returns. The breadth of the work has brought those actively en- gaged in it into a close companionship and understanding. The social life of the associatio n strengthens these bonds. The Y. W. C. A. members entertain informally for the new girls at the beginning of each quarter. The Hallowe’en Party and the May Morning Breakfast, both annual events, are probably the most enjoyable of all the association’s entertainments. The Hallowe’en Party is given to the faculty and to the entire student body. This year it was a masquerade party, and caused much merriment. The May Morning Breakfast to be given by the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. jointly on May Day morning will not occur until after this article has gone to press, but the guests, as has heretofore been the custom, will be the faculty members and wives with the ministers of the town! and their wives. ye 1 Se, НЕЕ mn | 7 і The Y.

M. C. A. those which characterize the work of the Y. M. C. A. all over the world, but more particularly the work of college associations. In a school like this the state makes ample provision for the development of the mind and body, but leaves to the students the necessary initia- tive and freedom of action in matters pertaining to their religious problems. Fortunately we have among our men a large proportion who recognize the need of more information on and practice in the various Christian principles so important to anyone who would make his life of greatest service to himself and his associates. It is such a group of men that constitutes the Y. M. C. A. membership and from which its officers are chosen. These officers are chosen for their sterling Christian qualities and their clean moral living, and for their interest in mankind. They should be, and are, men who are inter- ested in all the student activities, men whose sympathies are liberal and consistent—in short, they are simply men among men chosen by their associates to be their leaders in this important work. Te general purposes or functions of the Y. M. C. A. here are Such a group of men with its officers readily finds in an institu- tion like this work to do that commands the respect of the members, and appeals to the men as a man’s job. Perhaps the most appreciated work of the Y. M. C. A. is that relative to assisting the new student in becoming adjusted to the environment and particularly to the school’s work. Just to be a friend to a new student during his first few days in school may prove to be a service of incalculable value to him, and certainly costs little effort for the one who renders it; in fact, it is a service worthy of the high aims and principles for which the Y. M. C. A. stands. In addition to the new student work the Y. M. C. A. plans suit- able courses in various types of Bible study of especial interest to men and likewise work in Mission study. Besides this the various so- cial activities of the Y. M. C. A. alone, or of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. together offer à splendid opportunity for development along such lines. In short, the many-sided usefulness of the associa- tion to both the school and to the students gives it its value to the school. The present organization is new, but if we judge by the plans of the officers and the attitude of the men we may expect great things of the Nor mal Young Men’s Christian Association.

The charter members were secured by Miss Maude Roach, and on December 9, 19 10, the Eurekan Literary Society held its first meeting with Miss Alice Ray in the chair. The custom of the society in the beginning was to meet every two weeks after school hours. After a few months the time of meet- ing was changed, and night sessions were held in common with the Philomathean Literary Society, a sister organization, which had its beginning at the same time as did the Ewrekans. Each society pre- pared programs alternately for their joint entertainment. This con- tinued for a time until both organizations had developed more strength, when they met again in separate session once each week. In the fall of 1913, the Eurekans entered upon their year's work with renewed vigor. A new constitution that met the requirements of college literary activities, was drawn under President Richardson's guidance. It was during that school year that the Eurekans established their first tradition—the annual banquet for both old and new members. If there are any who cannot be present they are expected to send a message to be read at the banquet table. It is around this table that Eurekan bonds are tightened and where Ewrekans receive their great inspiration for stronger work. Programs are given before the student assembly once each quar- ter. These vary greatly in their nature. Ewrekan social life is emphasized. Quite often the members en- joy a social time together at the close of their regular programs. Or, instead of remaining indoors, they sometimes go to the woods for a wiener roast. Not all of their social times are spent to themselves, however, for, in order to keep that spirit of good-fellowship alive that has always existed between the Ewrekans and their fellow society workers, the Philomatheans or Excelsiors are invited to spend an hour with them. The big event of the year is the Inter-Society contest in debate, oratory, essay, and declamation, which occurs the latter part of April. This was instituted in 1915. This year extemporaneous speaking was another feature of the contest. As the time drew near for the finals enthusiasm ranked high, but whatever the outcome the E«wrekans, possessed with that spirit of good fellowship, interlinked as it is with keen, friendly rivalry, cry “Eureka” with the same zest of spirit.

At that time the meetings were held at night, the Philomatheans alternating with the Ewrekans in giving their programs. Neither society appeared to do the work it was capable of doing under this regime, and in the fall of 1918 President Richardson called a meeting of both societies for the purpose of reorganization. The society was organized under a new constitution with Chastain Harrel as president and Dale Hulet as secretary. In the spring of 1915 the first inter-society contest was held. The two societies competed in readings, debate, oration and essays. The Philomatheans won in this with a decided margin. Henry Miller and Mattie Dykes won the debate, Henry Miller took first on his ora- tion, Gladys Holt was given first place in the reading contest, and both the first and second place was won by the Philomatheans in the essay contest. In 1916 the Philomatheans again won from the Eurekans. The debate was won by Carrie Coler and N. C. Wagers, the reading by Iva Barnes, and, in the essay contest, Henry Miller took first place, Eleanor Richey, third. The society, of course, is proud of these victo- ries, but never stops to rest on its laurels, seeking always something farther on. Every member believes “Once a Philomathean, always a Philo- maihean. To this end the Annual Home-Coming Day has been in- stituted. At this time every absent member is urged to send a mes- sage of some kind to the society, thus introducing themselves to the new members. If any Philomathean should be limited to one word to express that for which the society stands, that word would be ‘‘democ- тасу.” All are on equality, and no one person directs the doings of the group more than any other person. Always standing for the best things to be found in the school, the Philomatheans get a great deal from the Normal, and the Normal in turn gets a great deal from the Philematheans. ) 83 ( iE: NW Ni SOE EE Тк ШЕ ۱ A spew PES |]!

( 84) History of the Excelsior Literary Society М November 11th, 1915, a group of twenty or twenty-five Normal () students met in room 219 of the Norma! building for the purpose of organizing a third literary society. At this meeting, which was di- rected by President Richardson, a committee was appointed to draw up a constitution and by-laws for this new society. This committee decided to hold weekly meetings in 700m 216 on Thursdays at 4:15 p. m. The following Thursday the group met and organized. The word, “Ewcelsior,” signifying the highest, was chosen for the name and motto of the society. The first few months were a continual struggle for existence, since the members possessed little experience in literary work. However, at the beginning of the spring quarter in 1916 the society was fairly started on its way to success. Our first public appearance was made May 4, 1916, in assembly, when the following program was given: Instrumental occ. gs сае кааар: Eva Bohannan, Grace Lamar ОСА ВОО, „егу анар EG ENSE ERES Ruth Sweet, “I Love You Truly.” These were followed by a short play entitled, “The Interrupted Proposal.” Then, although the society had had only six months of experience at this time, they entered the contest which was held at the Normal in May. The members took part in the essays, readings and orations. Although we won no prizes we did win the recognition of the other two societies as one of the school organizations. In the year 1916-17, our second year, we have increased our member- ship with people who are a great benefit to our society. Our second pub- lic appearance was again in assembly with the following program: Excelsior SONE ici LEAR ERECTOR و دوز هه وا مه و‎ Society Instrumental ЗОЈА EL especies teur 9 E usse x «mou x mec xo n Eva Bohannan Kerg m e Art $ we Een Da € H see Jassamine Williams ۳98۳۳۰ oi Бегізеіз% 5556 Еж ی ها و‎ owe es ew ets ww ES Wm.

At another time the Eurekan Society and the Maryville High School were invited to hear a debate upon: Resolved, That the United States Should Retain the Philippine Islands. The debaters were: Warren Wil- son, Ethel Sloan, Leslie Elam and Frances Corcoran. Our activities are not always of a literary nature, our aim being to develop the social side as well as the mental. This year’s work has given our society a firm foundation upon which to work. Watch us in the future. (85) 5 “s =: JA — TIGE, ۹ у, (БЕЕК Бажы] | 7) D її md!

This is the first volume of the book and the first publication of its kind in the school. Contrary to the custom in most colleges and normal schools this book is published by the Senior class. Students had long felt the need of such a book, but until this year no class had been allowed to undertake the task. When the committee of Seniors learned that such a task would � е allowed them they were delighted. Then arose the proposition of naming the book. Each member of the student body and the members of the faculty were allowed to submit names for a period of one week. .À number of names was submitted, and many, although attractive, were not names that would sur- vive. The staff unanimously chose the name The Tower. Later it was found that the name chosen had been sub- mitted by Dr. E. L. Harrington, the class advisor. The name has a number of significances, the most important being the fact that the standard graduate pin is a miniature tower. Moreover, the word may well signify loftiness of ideals. It is needless, perhaps, to mention that former students always see the towers first when they picture the building. For these reasons, if for no others, it is thought that the name, The Tower, will survive as long as this school—forever! ? 11 2 EE Ee, A Ze анна || ,= و | A ا‎ aea llt; ss Ше өт | با تحص‎ | o а сы ааа ғ ji Ш (97) BILLS a ш, - Ша 3 SCH y‏ ا ۱ ۱ ۱ D‏ ` е ۰‏ H‏ Alumni and former students at Teachers’ Meeting, 2nd, 3d and 4th of November, 1916.

Tak- 1 ing everything into consideration the football team made a very creditable showing, due to the efficient work of Coaches George Palfreyman and C. H. Belting. On account of the inlexperience of most of the players it was necessary to start in at the beginning and teach them the rudiments of the game; in fact, most of the season was de- voted to this line of work. Some of the men had the unusual distinction of playing in the first game they ever saw. The strongest point of the team was its earnestness and hard work. The forward pass was used with much success. The players had “pep,” fight, and the determination to win an honest game, but lacked experience. The team won two and lost five games. The splendid spirit of the players and the loyal support of the student body proved most gratifying. With the expe- rience gained this year and the return of this year’s men and the advent of new material from the high schools of our district the next season’s record presents a splendid prospect.

Weight 162 pounds. “Agnes” was one half of our exper- ienced football material this season. He is from Pattonsburg and had been a member of the high school team there. His forward passing and line plunging often brought the stands to their feet with a hearty chéer. “Agnes” and “Chiddo” made a forward pass combination that was unequalled in the conference. HOMER SCOTT Left Half Back Age 20. Weight 160 pounds. “Chiddo” proved to be our most con- sistant ground gainer. He was un- usually good at gathering in forward passes. He could also make good gains carrying the ball. This year was the first time that he had played the game. He thinks that Graceland Col- lege has an excellent girls’ basket- ball team. He is another Maryville boy. GEORGE N. HUBBARD Right Half-back Age 19. Weight 168 pounds. “Hub” fought every minute that he was in the game. He was an ex- cellent tackler and played а good game considering the fact that this was his first year. With his deter- mination and fight, he will make a good back fielder next season. He was the “idol” at the tea given to the football teams in uniforms. His home is in Bosworth, Missouri. CLEMENT B. HAHN Left Guard Age 20. Weight 177 pounds. “Clem” or “Mose” was a valuable player in spite of his inexperience. He always kept his eye on the ball and stopped the play if it came with- in his reach. When carrying the ball he would usually “вай” down the field for a substantial gain. He is now making (?) his home in Mary- ville. Luck to you Clement B. HENRY GANNAN Left Forward Age 23. Weight 138 pounds. “Secretary” was one of our best utility men until he landed a regular job at right tackle. He got the whole squad fighting by walking on any- bodys feet but his own. He was light for a tackle but he had the pep and fight to overcome his lack of weight. You should always listen to him when he has anything to say and then be- lieve what you want to. Gilman City should be proud to have him called “one of her boys.” ( 104 ) JOE FARMER End Age 20. Weight 145 pounds. Joe was one of the lightest men on the squad. He was very aggressive but really couldn’t get angry enough to play football. He was steady and could be relied upon to do his share and do it well. If Joe comes back next year he will make a good man. HAROLD SAWYERS Right Guard Age 19. Weight 157 pounds. “Torchy” was a steady player both on offensive and defensive. The “backs” had little trouble in finding the hole after “Torchy” had charged his opponent. “Torchy” is a clean-cut athlete who tak es care of himself and always works hard. The Normal will hear more about him before he grad- uates. He is another son of Mary- ville. RAY NICHOLLS Left Guard Age 18. Weight 167 pounds. “Nick” had the happy faculty of “sifting” through the opposition’s line and hurrying the play in their back- field. He was often through the line before the enemies backfield was in motion. “Nick” can entertain almost as many players on the football field as he can girls in Physical Education 51B. He is from Bethany. We hope that Bethany will send us more play- ers just like him. ( 105 ) PAUL ANDREW Left End Age 23. Weight 158 pounds. “Andy” was the other half of our experienced material. He had played at Excelsior Springs and on the fresh- men team at the University of Mis- souri. He and Hahn formed a tackle end combination. Andy got the op- position angry and then he would run behind “Mose” and leave poor “Mose” to stop the play. The scheme worked fairly well until Coach Belting played on the “scrubs” one evening. М. С. WAGERS Right End Age 21. Weight 159 pounds. “Snookums” at right end played an unusually good game for a late be- ginning. He was fast and very ag: gressive. He always met the plays more than half way. He will he a graduate this year, so we are now look- , ing for a right end or two. Amity bas the distinction cf being the home of our little “Sneokums.” FOREST BROWN Center Age 17. Weight 158 pounds. “Brownie” at center was a tower of strength to our line. It was a sud, den stop to any opponent who tried to gain through center. He was on his toes and fighting all the time. If you want to kuow moie about Lis playing, ask any center who opposed him, this fall. “Brownie” kicked out a window light to get to see “her” in Darlington. He gets his mail from Jamesport, Missouri, U. S. A. Write to him girls. We will be glad to see bim here next ۰ р E ۱ 3 1 ei а К , “т E ( 106 ) VIRON BIRD Half Back Age 19. Weight 140 pounds. “Viron” was perhaps the smallest man upon our squad. He was totally inexperienced at the beginning of the season, but soon developed into a fast aggressive player. He thinks that last season will be his last foot- ball, but we hope to see him here working again next fall. He is sure to make a place if he does come back. JOHN LAWTON Left Guard Age 22. Weight 165 pounds. “Mike” was a tower of strength in the line but was rather unfortunate in getting injuries that kept him out of scrimmage quite a bit. John is going to send his big brother here next year. Come along with him Johnnie. We need both of you. EDWARD ROYAL GODSEY Age 4. Weight 51 pounds. The future Normal star. Basketball Team Top row: Viron Bird, Harold De Moss, Walter Hanson (Di- rector of Athletics), George Palfreyman (Coach), John Ham, Kenneth Van Cleve. Bottom row: Harold Sawyers, Neil Garard, Walter Scott, Lee Scarlett, Homer Scott, Charles Wells, Clem Hahn. m. Г (ee; e a I ا ك اا‎ ( 108 ) Basket Ball ever. Many close, exciting and interesting games were played during the season. The success of basketball can be attributed to the splendid record of the team, the hearty co- operation of all students and school officials and to the effi- cient work of Coaches George Palfreyman and Walter Hanson. | NTEREST in intercollegiate basketball was keener than Our team played a schedule of eight games, winning six and losing two. The team scored 267 points to opponents’ 170 during the season. Maryville Normal richly deserves her share of the sea- son’s honors; in fact, our team came within! one game of the full possession of first place and the Championship of the Mis- souri Inter-collegiate Athletic Association. Maryville had a splendid team physically and played with a snap and dash that was a delight to see. The principal feature of Maryville's play was their beautiful open team work, and their driving power, characterized by speed, strength and endurance. “Watch Maryville in 1918” is the slogan at the school.

He was always working hard and kept his team up and at ’em all the time. We are pulling for him to get back to Mary- ville next year. “Dad” was selected “all state guard” by the coaches of the Missouri 1. A. A. 1 ATV PEE Sm E. UC. HOMER SCOTT Chiddo played forward for us this year. This was his second year on the team. He was the highest indi- vidual point-maker on his team. His work was always of the best order. He was always in the game and never gave up. We hope he will again toss for us next year. NEIL GARARD Agnes at center played much bet- ter ball than he did in 1916. The pass—Garard to Scott to Basket, was almost. as popular as the pass— Garard to Scott to touchdown. If Agnes decides not to come back next year we will lose a valuable man. We wish him success where ever he may play his game. ( 110 ) +” WALTER SCOTT “Gimlet” was another guard that was found to play forward for us this year. He played a good game all season, and is planning to be with us again next year. If the coach could get the stiffness out of ''Gim- let's legs before the game started he played a much better game. We will also be glad to see him here next year to help us in football. CHARLES WELLS “Charlie” was playing his first year at guard. He is a big boy and uses his head as well as his feet and hands. He will be with us again next season and we hope that he rightly deserves a place on the all-state team. “Char- lies big ambition was to get the coach in the scrimmage and rough him up. The coach was too small physi- cally to let Charlie realize his am- bition. CLEMENT B. HAHN Clem played a good game at for- ward. He was a good hard worker and did his best at all times. His work in the Central game showed that he wil be a hard man to beat out of a place next season. “Clem” is mov- ing toward the climax of his athletic career and not away from it. KENNETH VAN CLEVE. Kennie at forward was a scrappy little player, and with one year’s ex- perience in college ball, he will make a good man for next season. He is an accurate foul goal thrower and plays the floor well, his only handicap being his 135 pounds of weight. HAROLD SAWYERS. “Torchy” stayed at guard on the basketball court. He likes the guard position. He believes in guarding what he has. “Torchy” is one of the best all around men, playing foot- ball, basketball and baseball. We are proud of men of “Torchy’s” type. JOHN HAM. “Johnnie” is a boy that his home town Guilford, should be proud of. He is a hard worker and with the one year of seasoning that he re- ceived this winter he will make a valuable man for us next year. “John- nie” will be with us again next year and he is going to make a fight for a forward position. A ` 47 عص ۹ { а EE YT Ы VIRON BIRD “Bird” could play either guard or forward. He was fast and very ag- gressive. We hope he will be with us again next season. If he isn't there in person we will feel that he is with us in thot for he is a splendid type of man and is always for the best. HAROLD DEMOSS Laddie at center gained some wonderful experience this year. He developed rapidly and next season should make it as a regular berth. His basket shooting and floor work was excellent but he was not quite aggressive enough. He will make a valuable man for us next season. PHILIP COLBERT Our yell leader in action.

Athletics for Women UR ATHLETIC activities for women consist of Field Hockey, Volley Ball, () Tennis and basketball. There is no special athletic association in the school for the women, and we do not play outside teams, yet our women have good spirits and are interested in playing these games for the joy of play itself. We hope, in the near future, to offer “Numerals” and “Letters” to those taking part in these sports as an extra inducement to attract a larger percentage of the young women to participate in these special activities. A space for the Hockey field was alloted us last fall, at the southwest corner of the Base Ball diamond. Every pleasant Monday afternoon two teams were seen out there busy with the sticks. No records were made, or broken, as the weather man was too much for even one gay spirit, however, there were several sticks broken, as the owners’ made wild and strenuous attacks, not on the ball as they expected, but on an opponents stick. Another group of girls could be found on Wednesday afternoons on the Volley Ball Court, just south of the grand stand. Here warm friendships were cemented, while tense voices sang out: “My ball,” or “One ball, number three up ; “Biff it hard’. When the weather grew too cold to “Biff” even with mittens on, we transfered the net inside to the West Gym. Basket Ball had to take a back seat until the County Corn and Domestic Science Exhibit disappeared, bag and baggage, but this allowed ample time for the Excelsiors to get together a team as well as the Eurekans, to match two non- society teams, who “vere anxious to show what they could do. The Independents made the Eurekans sit up nights to learn new tricks, whereby they were able to defeat the Independents in the only open game played this season. Next year we hope to have a series of open games and trust the Philomatheans may match up a team as well as the Excelsiors, that all who love Basket Ball may be on the field for those “Numerals” and “Letters.” ( 116 ) Volley Ball First row: Vera Vivian, Romola Coffman, May Prussmar}, Miss Boggs, Cleo Lesan, Oma Davis, Maud Bauer.

Former students and alumni treasure pleasant memories of these. For their benefit and the interest of the present students and faculty the following account of the an- nual events of this school year is written: The first event which attracts our attention is Stunt Day for the Graduating Classes. This was formerly known! as Senior Stunt Da, but the organization of college groups into Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes caused this to be changed. The day chosen for the stunts is the first Thursday in October. Upon this day the members of the graduating classes array themselves in green and white, the class colors, so that every student may recognize them. The classes present a program, usually of a humorous nature, during the assembly hour. ‘This year the stunt consisted of a day in “An Old-fashioned School.” The bully, the teacher’s pet, the dunce, mamma's darling child, the good child—all were there. It happened to be Friday, so in the afternoon a program was given for the benefit of the mothers and the members of the school board who were pres- ents This program was followed by a moonlight picnic in Normal ark. The second annual affair, scheduled on the school calandar as “The Annual Excursion to the Woods,” is known to students as “Walk- out Day.” The first excursion was made October 22, 1915. On this day faculty members greeted empty class rooms and soon they learned that the students were giving them a vacation. It came as a complete surprise, and continues to do so. This event is sanctioned by the school, but as it is planned and carried out by the students the faculty members never know when it is coming. The day chosen is one late in October—one of those bright, sunny autumn days when school with its worries is easily forgotten. After the students arrived at the picnic grounds northeast of Maryville, October 18, 1916, they put up swings and made good use of them and engaged in various games un- til the noon hour. Nothing was forgotten in the lunch, and nothing was left. In the afternoon! an extemporaneous program was given. This writeup would be incomplete if mention were not made of the kodaks, for upon this day students began to realize that The Tower would contain a snapshot section. After spending an enjoyable af- ternoon students and faculty wended their way homeward with a store of memories not soon to be forgotten. The Philo Home Coming is welcomed by all Philos. This day is one near the close of October. This does not mean that all Philos come home for the day. Many are too far away for that. Instead each absent Philo sends a letter to the society to be read at the regu- lar program time. In this way former members are kept in touch with their society and the school. 5 E WM d EAST ( ! ( in === meros ا‎ EH ( 138 ) The Y. W. С. A. and the Y. M. C. A. entertain the students and faculty with a Hallowe’en party near the close of October. The cos- tuming adds greatly in making an element of mystery pervade the rooms. The entertainment, consisting of weird music and stories, sometimes frightens the more timid ones. However, they soon re-. cover, and before the close of the evening the students are well ac- quainted with each other. The Christmas party given to the entire student body by the fac- ulty is one of the most important events of the school year. Given just before the Christmas vacation days this suggests associations serious and joyous,—serious, for it brings to all the true idea of Christmas and also a sadness of farewells; joyous, because of the splendid school spirit shown and a realization of the invaluable friend- ships formed. This year music by the Normal Orchestra, solos, both vocal and instrumental, by members of the faculty, and a pantomime, “The Three Wise Men,” made a beautiful and impressive entertain- ment. To add to the happiness of the students on this joyous occa- sion our President, Mr. Ira Richardson announced that with the close of the evening’s entertainment vacation would begin. The students were overjoyed upon receiving the additional day of vacation. Thus closed the third annual Christmas party. The last Friday in January holds a pleasant surprise for all stu- dents except the caste of the Philomathean play. Upon the above date the Philomatheans annually give a play. This year they pre- sented “The Arrival of Kitty.” The plot hinges on the facts of William Winkler’s financial dependence on his pious sister-in-law and his disapproval of the engagement of his niece Jane, with Bobbie Baxter. He wishes Jane to marry a rich man, Benjamin Moore. Bobbie with the help of Ting, the landlord of Halcyon House, finds out something of Winkler’s intimacy with the actress, Kitty, and re- solves to impersonate the lady. Benjamin Moore arrives and promptly falls in love with one lady after another, including the bogus Kitty. Heis absolutely impartial and quotes his lovelorn lyric to each in turn. Meanwhile the real Kitty has arrived, and she and her double participate in several lively scenes. Finally, however, every- thing ends well, Winkler gives his consent to Jane’s marriage, he is happy with Kitty, and even Aunt Jane achieves the desire of her heart, a man. The Senior-Sophomore reception for the Juniors, Freshmen, and Faculty is given February 22. The management. of this was for- merly in the hands of the Senior class, but has been changed since the organization of classes. The reception takes the nature of a colonial party with everyone in costume. Colonial decorations and forms of entertainment add to the occasion. The entertainment this year con- sisted of living pictures, music by the Normal Orchestra and colonial games. February 26 is a date dear to the hear of every Ewrekan, for at this time all Ewrekanms assemble for the annual banquet. The first banquet was held February 26, 1914. After the banquet a short pro- ( 139 ) Як | MN Rie D ES | реа! 1 سععصی و | | gram is always given. At this time the messages sent by those who could not be present are read. This reunion recalls many pleasant thoughts for all. Here comes the Circus! When? March 16! Given by the Graduating Classes. The Graduate Consolidated Company presented its performances to the public in Normal Tent, Friday, March 16. The parade left the tent at 4:30 p. m., and paraded the city. The Hat Band, Women in War, the Bear Cat, the Fat Man, the Largest Fam- ily and all the rest were seen. The show opened in the West Gymna- sium with a musical performance. Then the side shows opened their doors. The Minstrel Show, the room of sells, the Movies, the Mystery room, Normal Babies, and the merry-go-round were included in this. The Circus is a money-making scheme for the Graduating Classes, the money being used in buying a gift for the school. The Eurekan Literary Society presented as its annual play, “Brother Josiah.” The performance was given March 22. This is among W. C. Parker’s best plays. As to the story: Two brothers separate when boys, one becomes a wealthy Western farmer, the other a wealthy New York broker. Josiah, the farmer, learns of his brother, Wellington’s whereabouts, and with his family visits him un- announced. They arrive in the midst of a fashionable reception, and are not pleasantly welcomed. Their attempts to learn “city life’ are ludicrous in the extreme. Josiah’s anger and sorrow when he learns that his brother is ashamed of the appearance and manners of the country visitors are touching, and his true heart is shown when he saves his brother from financial ruin. There is a charming little love affair interwoven with the plot and an up-to-date villain. This play was well given—as Ewrekan's always are. The month of May is ushered in with a May morning breakfast given by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. This function is at- tended by the members of the two associations and the faculty. The evening of May 1 marks the date of the Junior-Freshman re- ception for the Seniors, Sophomores and Faculty. The entertainment was in the nature of a celebration of May-day festivities. The inter-society contests are of interest to all Excelsiors, Phil- omatheans and Eurekans. Before the organization of the Excelsior society in the fall of 1915 the contests were between Philomatheans and Eurekans. These consists of contests in debate, declamation, or- atory, essay and extenporaneous speaking. A debate is held each night, making a total of three debates. The oratorical, declamatory and extemporaneous speaking contests are held, one each night. The winners in the essay contest are announced, the final night. The Commencement exercises are held the first week in June. These consist of the sermon to the classes held on Sunday afternoon, a class day program, a play given by the classes and the class address. The alumni banquet is held the evening of Commencement Day. و ( 140 ) The Calenda r---1916-1917 Ki (3 сБ e SEPTEMBER Registration. Ditto. All classes meet. All busy. Same thing.
