Beeretary MURRAY WELLING. ‘sicsscctsiesy sere gecse ..... Treasurer The Rank of Our College Never before in the history of the State Teachers College has such a high standard of work been attained as that of the present time. ver since June 22, 1916, a steady increase in the standing of the college has been evidenéed. On that date a conference composed of the State Superintendent of Schools and the Presidents of the State University and of the State Teachers Colleges adopted a number of regulations. Among the more significant of which were the following: ‘‘The professional degree for the completion of the 120-hour course given in the teachers colleges and the School of Kducation of the Uni- versity of Missouri, shall be the Baehelor of Science in Education,’’ and ‘‘when this conference finds that the conditions named in this report have been fully met, college work done in any of the institutions shall be accepted hour for hour in the other institutions and the gradu- ates of the 120-hour course shall be admitted to the graduate School.”’ Jn the spring of 1921 another regulation was passed, which allows State Teachers Colleges to grant the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This means, of course, that this college is a standard four-year Page twelve = TWVhe TOWER f— - college and that the students of this district have the opportunity of obtaining a full college course in Maryville. It means that the high quality of 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. It means that students entering the college department must meet the standard college entrance requirements, and that the distinction between college and secondard work will continue to be sharply made. Kividence of the high standard of work done in the Northwest Missouri State Teachers College is given by membership in The Ameri- can Association of Teachers Colleges—class A, The North Central As- sociation of Secondary Schools and Colleges —- Senior College Rank, and in the conference of Missouri State Educational Institutions. All of these are standardizing associations of the lighest rank. Membership in the national association means that work done in our college ranks with that done in many other similar institutions in the United States. Tlowever, the recognition by the North Central Association shows just how much advance in standing our college has made. In the first place, membership in this organization is granted to both colleges and high schools. All graduates of the high schools which belong to the association are admitted without examination to all colleges which are members. On the other hand, only faculty members who have graduated from colleges aceredited by this associa- tion are employed by the high schools. Therefore, in these, respects, membership in such an organization means much to the college. There are other qualifications which the college passed in order to become a member. These are, standardizing of rating of faculty, high school and colleges rank work distinctly separated, and the payment and work of the faculty standardized, The curriculum has increased along with the enrollment number, all courses are definitely and significantly numbered in accordance with a comprehensive scheme. The requirements for the various diplomas are clearly stated and are in permanent form. The faculty has grown in numbers and in the amount of preparation represented. The departments have been enlarged and are equipped to the high . standard expected of a college of this type and rank. A girls’ dormi- tory which will rival any in the state in plan or equipment will be. built on the campus this year. The school is a member of the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association, and competes in football, basket- ball, baseball, track and field athletics. That the students respond to and appreciate the standing of the college is shown by the enrollment which is an advance of that of any other year in the history of the school.

The enrollment for the fall term was 319, for the winter 374. This does not include the students in the conservatory of music nor in the demonstration school. This per cent of increase means that the school will soon outgrow the present building. The General Assembly of 1905 created the Fifth District Normal School. This district includes the counties of Andrew, Atchison, Buch- anan, Caldwell, Carroll, Clay, Clinton, Davies, DeKalb, Gentry, Grundy, Harrison, Holt, Livingston, Mercer, Nodaway, Platte, Ray and Worth. Maryville was chosen for the location of the new school. The town, to- gether with Nodaway County, gave eighty-six acres of land for a cam- pus, and $58,672.50 in cash. The campus was increased to one hundred seventeen acres. The first meeting of the Board of Regents was held September 12, 1905. The first session of the school was conducted in the high school building in the summer of 1908. The corner stone of the administration building was laid Ooctober 12, 1907. The General Assembly of 1919 passed a law changing the name of the Normal School to that of the Northwest Missouri State Teachers College. Official news wa s received September 28, 1921, that $200,000 ap- propriated for the building of a new dormitory would be released Jan- uary 1922. Some tentative plans for the improvement of the campus inelude the building of an artificial lake and an outdoor theatre, the completion of the new athletic field, and the transforming of the old Seminary into a boys’ dormitory. Mr. Frank Deerwester, of the Normal School at Warrensburg was the first president. He was succeeded in turn by Tomer M. Cook, H. K. Taylor, Ira Richardson, and Uel W. Lamkin, who began his official duties as president September 1921. The number of departments has been increased since the begin- ning of the school. The conservatory of music has been added. This department now has a director and staff of six teachers. College or high school credit is given for all courses in music.

This dormitory is expected to be one of the best planned and most efficiently equipped buildings in the state. The structure, 202 feet from north to south and 96 feet from east to west, will be located southeast of the main building and will face the west. In the basement will be the dining room and cafeteria, a modern kitchen and laundry, quarters for the help, and sound proof practice rooms and studios for the conservatory. The first floor will have 19 double rooms and 4 single ones, while the second and third floors will have 21 double and 4 single rooms, each. On each floor will be a tele- phone and kitchenette. The parlors and the matron’s room will be on first floor. The infirmary and nurse’s headquarters will be on third. There is a large sun parlor on the second and the third floors. This dormitory, when completed, will mean much to our school. The girls will have every convenience and comfort to make life at col- lege happy. It will be ready for use by October 1, 1922.

The organization is made up of college men who have won the school M in some branch of college athletics and its purpose is to promote good sportsmanship and interest in all college activities. One of the most important social functions of the elub is the football banquet given annually to the letter men of the Maryville High School to promote good fellowship among the two bodies and to create among the high school men an interest in the college. Page sixty-three — — | ee tart ee THE MIN-NI-CHEE-OCK ‘ Min-ni-chee-ock’’ is an Indian word meaning ‘‘Active Girls.”’ This name was suggested for this organization by Miss Mary Alicia Owens, an authority on Indian history and legends in this part of the country. This group of Active Girls is composed of all girls who win honors in literary or athletic events. One purpose of the organization is to create an interest in games and sports, debating, public speaking and other literary activities. Another purpose is that of informing prospective students concerning the value of college life and education. Among Min-ni-chee-ock activities are two annual banquets. One is an Institution Banquet and is given in October. At this banquet plans for the year are made. The other banquet is given in honor of the high school girls of the district who participate in the spring basketball tournament held at the college. Other activities and good times are enjoyed by the ‘‘Active Girls’’ of the college.

The aim of the organization is to help every student in school; to promote fellowship and aggressive Christian work; to train men for service. It is an organization of which every one in school should he proud, and to which every young man should give his loyal support. An important feature of the organization is its devotional exercises usually led by one of its members. Interesting talks on wide-awake subjects for men are frequently given by faculty members and Maryville pastors. Social functions are also an important feature.

Jivery effort is put forth to make the weekly meetings interesting and beneficial. Every year there are social functions of the society to which all look forward. The big event of the year is the Inter-society contest, in debate, oratory, essay, declamation, and extemporanecous speaking. These con- tests first began in 1915 and the events that the Eurekans have won since that time: 1916—Charles McReynolds, Oration. 1917—Debate, Ross MeReynolds and Lloyd Hartley.

The meetings were held at night but the society did not do very effici- ent work under this regime. It was reorganized in the fall of 1913 under a new constitution with Chastain Harrel as president. Other loyal Philomatheans who did much to establish and preserve the high standards and ideals of the society were Mattie Dykes, Henry Miller, Myrtle MePherron and Carrie Coler. The Annual Home Coming day was first instituted in the fall of 1914. Fach year this Home Coming is held on Thursday afternoon during the Fifth District Teacher’s Association. Members who are not able to be present send letters which are read at this meeting. The first Philo play was given in 1914. This has been made an annual event. The last three plays given were: The First Lady of the Land by Charles Nirdlinger, Quality Street by James M. Barrie, and Happiness by J. Hartley Manners. In the spring of 1915 the first intcr-society contest was held. These contests consist of declamation, debate, oration, extemporaneous speaking, essay and song. The Philos won the most honors in the years 1915, 1916, 1917, and 1919. In the years 1918, 1920, and 1921, from a possible seven points The Philomatheans won two each year.

It is composed of students and faculty members interested in rural education and rural activities. The object of the club, according to its constitution, is to acquaint members with rural life, the conditions, the n eeds, and the possibilities of the rural school and community; to interest all in rural schools; and thus to render more efficient service to the college and to teachers of this district. The club has made a very successful start; its parties and receptions for rural teachers have been enjoyed by everyone. Next year will see it one of the strongest organizations of the college.

JULIA HANKINS The organization of the Husky Hikers marked the beginning of real interest in girls’ athletics. This club has fostered the athletic and recreational spirit among the college girls. It has been the souree of healthy good times. The Husky Hikers began October, 1920 with a membership of ten girls. October, 1921 there were one hundred and fifteen active members. A girl’s hiking career begins with short hikes of only five miles. Gradually longer hikes are taken as the hiker’s endurance increases. Picnics are often combined with hikes. The success of the organization is due largely to the interest and enthusiasm of Miss Mary MacLeod, the Physical Director for Women.

The four solo parts are well sup- ported by the accompanying chorus of thirty-two voices. Gorgeously colored costumes, fans, lanterns, and stage settings combine to make a beautiful and charming effect. The music memory contest, in which all of the school children of Nodaway County are invited to participate, will be held Saturday morning, May 13, in the Recital Ilall at the Conservatory of Music. ( This contest was promoted by the College with the idea of bringing into the schools of the county higher ideals and standards of music. | The sacred concert to be given Sunday evening, May 14, by the t Municipal Chorus, an organization of one hundred and fifty voices ader the direction of Mr. Gardner, consists of selections from some wt the great oratorios.

The program, consisting of num- bers from some of the operas and other works of the great masters, will make an enjoyable evening.

By payment of the alumni fee the payee receives each week a copy of the ‘‘Green and White Courier,’’ which is, indeed, a strong link between the college and its former students. Within the Alumni Association is an organization of the degree graduates, which is supposed in no way to detract from their interest in the main organization. More years of association, perhaps, bind with a stronger tie. For this reason some things can be accomplished from time to time which could not be if it were not for this active organiza- tion of degree graduates.

Ten letter men reported for the squad besides a good number of former high school stars who were determined to give the letter men a race for their old position. The season opened September 30, with the Kirksville bulldogs. The bearcets made a very creditable showing against a heavier and more experienced team by holding them to two touchdowns. From this game on, the team was seriously handi- capped by injuries to the players and was only able to score two victories out of eight games; one of them being the second conference game the school ever won. There were no outstanding stars on the team. Every player showed up well but special mention might be made of the work of captain Kirby, Pickens and Foreman, the latter being chosen fullback on the third all Missouri eleven. Highteen men were awarded a sweater with the school ‘‘M.’’ Six men, Mapel, Hunt, MePherron Lindstrom, Bush and Beaver were awarded sweaters without the school emblem as a reward for their good work on the squad. Coach Sprong deserves much eredit for his work with the team and as only two men, Pickens and Bland, are lost by graduation, he will have an experienced squad around which to build a team next fall.

Oresicecn 14 The nineteen twenty two basketball season was very unsuccessful so far as the number of games won are concerned as the team failed to win a victory out of seventeen games played. Altho five letter men | reported for the squad none of them had won their letter the same year so that Coach Sprong had to start the season with a squad un- accustomed to playing with each other and it took time to get the men | working together. The team never during the season played the brand of basketball they were capable of and their scoring ability failed to improve as the season advanced. The team faced an extremely hard schedule playing the best teams in the conference and averaging over two games a week with one hard road trip that would have left any team worn out. As only one man is lost from the squad by graduation a good team should be placed in the field next year with the experience they have gained this season. The new men winning letters were Graham, Barkley, Foreman, Haun and Beaver besides three old men, Kirby, Sawyers and Pucket. Kirby probably played the best game thruout the whole season, always fighting hard and playing a consistent game. Page one hundred MARY L.

ATHLETICS FOR WOMEN Basketball, tennis, hiking and golf are the four principal athletic activities for girls. More interest has been taken this year in girls’ athletics than ever before. Girls’ basketball has been an unusual suc- cess. Tennis tournaments are always held in the spring and summer. Of course hiking has been popular every slightly warm day all winter and every spring day. Golf, is entirely new at the college but many girls are seen in the links learning the game. In addition to these major sports there are regular classes in Physical Education. That department includes classes in [ealth Control, Gymnastics, Folk Games, Aesthetic Dancing and Teaching of Physical Education.

There are several interesting and outstanding reasons for the suc- | cess of the team. For one thing there are no individual stars. The girls play as a perfect machine passing the ball and pivoting with | exceptional skill. The second team also should be highly commended for their faithfulness and hard work which is so essential in develop- ing a first class team. Another direct cause of the success of the team was the close adherence of each member to training rules. This requires great self-control and is difficult for the usual girl. The training rules which the girls have obeyed are: Regular exercise in the open air each day. Nine hours sleep out of every twenty-four. No eating of pastry. No eating between meals. Moderate eating of meat.

The seniors started it. The crowd assembled in front of the college building—marched through the business section of the town to the Burlington depot—then to Tunnell Woods. ‘Lucile Holmes was chair- man of the ‘‘eats.’’ Nothing more need be said of that. The students challenged the faculty for a baseball game and the students won by a score 7 to 4. Although walkout day of former years has been a great | event this one was a fitting climax to them all. ; Page one hundred fourteen i —3— ————— LO 2 SS | HALLOWE’EN PARTY One of the merriest festivities of the year was staged in the college aunditorium when the Husky Hikers, a lively organization of the college, acted as hostesses to the faculty and student body on Hallowe’en night. Ghosts and witches appeared every where. Bands of gypsies danced wierd dances around the camp fire. Fortune tellers disclosed life secrets. The Black Mystery Woman-Who-Tells Poetry recited hair raising poetry. All guests declared it was truly an All-Witches Night.

The faculty of the college at this time act as hosts to the student body. | December 21, 1921. | The decorations, games, and music are all suggestive of the real Christmas spirit which prevails. The telling of stories around the old fashioned fire place keeps alive the home Christmas spirit. No one who ean possibly be there ever misses the Christmas party.

This year tho there were many handsome and striking costumes, Mary Bailey and Jay Puckett were awarded the prize, the honor of appearing on this page of the Tower. | Page one hundred eighteen ) } a er | MAY DAY The May Day festival of the college took place on the college campus, the fir trees and pines forming a back ground for the May Queen’s throne. Juanita Miller gave the prologue, which was follow- ed by a dance by Ora Mae Condon and Sylvia Littlejohn as Puck and Pan. They were joined by the other May day revelers, who marched in a processional. When the Queen and her attendants were discover- ed in the distance, Puck bade the revelers form a lane through which the Queen might pass to her throne. Mary Wooldridge, as queen, was preceded by Betty Louise Godsey who carried the crown. Wave Hulet, as maid of honor formally crowned the Queen. The attendants celebrated this crowning with a - song. The first song ‘‘Amaryllis’’ was followed by a dance ‘‘Calif’s Abandon”’ by Nell Hudson and Hazel Louden, who impersonated the yellow daisy and the pink rose. An old English dance ‘‘Hewitts’ Fancy’’ was given by a group of forty college freshmen. Pan reappeared and danced the ‘‘Pipes of Pan’’ to Shuberts’ ‘ Moment Musical.’’ The ceremonies of the May festival closed with the recessional to the college library where the dancers were joined by the sophomores, seniors and faculty who were entertained by the freshmen and juniors of the college.

It may con- sist of single lectures, of lectures in series, of demonstrations, of educa- tional surveys, of intellectual tests, of rural school inspections, of the judging of debates, of vitalized agriculture short courses, or of recita- tions and quizzes on definite assignments for study. We desire when ever it is wise and feasible to take this institution to those people who cannot come to it. Thru extension services the college seeks to help individuals prepare for a college career and also to shorten that career. One may improve his services without giving up his regular position. More rapid advance may be made by taking advantage of the opportun- ities offered by the Extension department, than can be made by at- tendance at summer sessions only. Teacher groups are not the only ones who may profit by intensive study of the more cultural courses or by lectures, single or in series, given by visiting members of the faculty; clubs, literary organization, civic improvement groups, community organization and countless oth er such units may enjoy the advantages offered by the department. To give an idea of the scope of the extension work in subject matter we list the following as among the courses given during the past year. Latin-American History, The Peace Movement, Contemporary Europe, The Literature of the Bible, Contemporary Drama, Technique of the Drama, Juvenile Literature, Teaching of Mathematics, College Algebra, Economic Geography, Human Geography, Applied Art, Building the Curriculum, Mental Measurements, Home Economies, French, Vitalized Agriculture, and others. In extension service we are not seeking mere enrollment. We aim to render our usual service to an unusual type of student. Only students particularly anxious to extend their education are expected | to enroll in extension courses. Any one who has developed the habit of driving ahead in his study by the force of his own initiative and can take direction covering a large volume of work and thru a faithful execution of these directions return a product worthy of an intelligent and persevering student may enter upon such a course. Extension work is intended primarily for those not completely i) occupied in their present employments but which employments keep Wy Page one hundred twenty-eight Ee —Ih 3 ane them from resident study in the college. Such a person may be teach- ing or he may be other wise engaged. Whenever our Faculty may by any course of instruction brought to a community, make better work- men of the men and woman of that place, we feel a real service has been done the community and its citizens. The Extension Department was organized in 1916 under the super- vision of a committee of the faculty, with Henry A. Foster, history instructor, as chairman. The department served thirty-two individuals during the first year. However, on account of the war, the work was abandoned the following school vear, 1917-1918. But when it was continued in 1918-1919 fifty-two people were benefited. In 1919-1920 the number increased to sixty-eight. The next school year 1920-1921 saw an enormous increase, the enrollment being two hundred two. The college authorities realized that it was no longer possible for the faculty committee to care for the demands that were being made for extension work and on November 1, 1921, Mr. Bert Cooper, County Superintendent of Nodaway Schools, took the position as head of the Department. At the present time four hundred persons are taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the Extension Department. During the past year the department has been reorganized and en- larged to include many types of service besides class work and the various ones mentioned above. It promises to become one of the most important and most useful features of the institution and its activities are being extended into every field. Page one hundred twenty-nine Page one hundred thirty this type of study. Correspondence courses are designed to be in content, scope and credit the equivalent of the same course given in residence. They con- tain a definite amount of work in a given number of lessons. All cor- respon dence courses satisfactorily completed carry a credit equal to that of the same course done in college. However not more than one sixth of the requirements for any certificate, diploma, or degree may be done by correspondence. A maximum of ten semester hours of college credit or two units of high school work, during one school year will be accepted. The college does not undertake instruction in any considerable proportion of the courses away from library, apparatus and school en- vironment. Many courses are not adapted to correspondence study even in the case of the most persevering student. The college began instruction by correspondence in the school year 1915-1916. The work was under the direction of the same committee of faculty members who later organized the Extension Department. Only eight students were enrolled for work the first year. In 1916-1917, however, thirty-one persons found this method of study profitable, during the year 1917-1918 the number fell to twenty-three. The next year saw an increase, the number instructed by correspondence being forty-four. During the school year 1920-1921, the enrollment in the Correspondence Department advanced to 138. Thus far in the present school year 122 teachers over the fifth district have enrolled for corres- pondence work. Correspondence Department To the determined and se lf reliant student, correspondence study may render a great service. It would not be advisable for those who get their only stimulus from class and school surroundings to take up Page one hundred thirty-one 4, SS HHL19 2 2 |S —— SS fl Page one hundred thirty-two = Zhe LOWER.

We extend thankful greetings to the Mary- ville Chamber of Commerce for taking two hun- dred copies of our annual to be distributed among the rural schools of our district. This has very materially helped us toward the finan- cial success of our issue and is a_ practical scheme for the advertising of our college. | By this plan the Chamber of Commerce ear- ries information about the college to the schools, instead of the individual member ad- vertising his own business. Unsolicited service is a marker on the hill- tops along the pathway of life and the best evi- dence of a right conception of ones duty to his fellowman and to society. Your favor to us is an exemplification of these virtues and we will try to estimate it justly. f i Page one hundred fifty-eight S02 2 HE TOWER STAFF feels deeply indebted to a number of friends and takes this means of expressing its appreciation of the liberal support received from the different classes and organizations of the college. The Staff especially wishes to thank the different individuals of these classes who so willingly help- ed to make this annual a success. We gratefully receive their work and appreciate their co-operation in this project. Their efforts have helped us make this volumn a treas- ure house for the traditions of old ork. he TOWER J “al Printers and Publishers exile: Mo. = Page one hundred fifity-nine | U ers ———- a —— 1192 2 % | ——— mre aia Pow?
