DEDICATION MRS. HUBERT GARRETT MISS LUCILE BRUMBAUGH The library is more than a building. It is the heart of a campus, the center of academic life. It is a place of learning and of recreation. The effectiveness of a Hbrary depends on its staff. The staff of our Hbrary has within it two gracious and conscientious ladies. Miss Lucile Brumbaugh and Mrs. Hubert Garrett, who have served the students, the faculty, the College, with indefatigable efforts. Mrs. Garrett in her duties as keeper of the main desk, is in contact with virtually all the students of the College. Her ready smile and gracious manner make every trip to the library a pleasant experience. She is always willing to aid the student in locating books, finding study material, and in general use of the library facilities. Miss Brumbaugh is Assistant Librarian and Cataloger. Every book that goes into the library must pass through her hands. Miss Brumbaugh has served in this responsible position since 1926. In the interval between the resignation of the late C. E. Wells and the employment of former Librarian Paxton Pate Price, Miss Brumbaugh served as Acting Libarian. Service of this duration and quality does not go un- noticed. The students of Northwest Missouri State College are indeed fortunate in receiving the benefits of the work of these two. As a token of appreciation, the dedication of the 1953 TOWER is inscribed to Miss Lucile Brum- baugh and Mrs. Hubert Garrett. Paie 5

CONTENTS FACULTY CLASSES FEATURES DRGANIZATIDNS ATHLETICS FDREWDRD Suddenly, and perhaps it seems almost without warning, another school year is gone. Each of us has memories of the year that linger. We of the Tower Staff have been busy from early autumn collecting, sorting, and mounting the pictures which you find in the fo llowing pages. Our hope is that the pictures will bring back memories you want to cherish. Each year, through added improve- ments, our campus is made more and more a place of gracious living. After a tremendous face-lifting, Resi- dence Hall again opened its doors. More and more we witnessed the new Union becoming the center of social life on the campus. Day and night sounds of meet- ings, dances, and marathon ping pong and card games echoed in its halls. Other visible signs of improvement were the bell mall, the teachers ' new lounge, and the yards and yards of cement curbing. Remember with what dread the Fresh- men faced Walkout Day? Then the day arrived and they found it was not so bad after all. Remember how our spirits soared when the Bearcats brought home for the first time in many years a tie for the M.I. A. A. football crown? You will find it all in these pages and more too. Our hope is that in the years to come you will return to the Tower and smile a smile or two as familiar scenes and faces flash back. For your pleasure now and in the years to come, the staff presents the 1953 edition of the Tower. Page 4
