M I Ffio i m mmm ?ig« 2 TO THE mm H55 1956 TOWEP TOW[|{ STAFF Seofed: Don Herren, editor; Lois Alexander, typist; LoDonna Baldwin, fypisf; Donald Robertson, art editor. Standing: Carol Gamble, assistant art editor; Shirley Motsinger, assistant editor ond busir sponsor. Not shown: Dr. Frank Grube, lite noger; Howard Ringold, (acuity Illustrated above is only one nor mal evening of labor for the TOWER Staff. To be sure, activity was not often so concentrated. Business manager Shirley Motsinger ran thither and yon— searching, contacting, interviewing; accumulating data, records, facts. Art Editor Don Robertson likewise made frantic trips to photographers Lafferty and Green, and to lesser con- tributors before appropriate photos were located. Editor Herren pounded some pavement, too, but mostly he pounded his typewriter. Correspondence, correlation, and copy, monopolized his assiduous time. Nearly all of the text of the TOWER is the work of his pen or came under his meticulous editorship. But when the important decisions were to be mode, or big jobs to be done, cooperation was the keynote. The staff was especially proud of the success of the TOWER Dance. Other demanding situations were shortly dispatched once everyone got their heads together. The staff ' s own personal dedication goes to its two faculty advisors: Mr. Howard Ringold — with always the logical solution to any difficulty, and Dr. Frank Grube— untiring as proof-reader and contribu- tor of pertinent literary suggestions. Certainly the most faithful volunteer worker was Carol Gamble, assistant to the Art Editor. Typists LaDonna Baldwin and Lois Alexander were on hand at the merest beckon. The Misses Barbara Don Tyer, Marcia Woodcock, Jean Swanson, and Florence Loose also contributed some time when the load was heaviest. Page 4 D[Dii; iiiiK THE i;OLI)E m There is a thrill in the expression Golden Anniversary which signifies that an institution is fifty years old. When that institution is the college of one ' s choice, it evokes a sincere appreciation of the services which have been rendered by all those who have made the college one of high quality. A college is the result of the cumulative work of many people. To rank individuals or groups as to their relative importance in the growth and development of this college would be an impossible task. At some time in the history of our state there was someone who must have said, It is time to establish a college in Northwest Missouri. That person talked the matter over with interested friends. There developed a group of people willing to work for the realization of the Northwest Missouri State College. We know that for at least thirty years before the passage of the act by the General Assembly which established the college in 1905, there were citizens in Northwest Missouri striving to create interest in their belief that a college was needed. As time drew near for the final decision, these people put forth a united effort which resulted in the location of the college in Maryville. During 1906 there was a second group of people working for the welfare of the college. This was the first Board of Regents, which is the legally constituted governing body of the college. This Board selected the first president of the college, and employed the first faculty end other personnel. Since that beginning there has been a long list of Board of Regents members, appointed by the governors and serving without pay. These persons have unselfishly devoted their energy and talents to their duties, which have resulted in the advancement of the college. They have chosen men as presidents who were qualified as college administrators and whose recommendations have effected the selection of faculty of high quality. The Faculty has always worked with a steadfast purpose of ever improving the instruction of the students. The thousands of young men and young women who have been educated at the Northwest Missouri State College during the past fifty years are evidence that the confidence and faith of those people who demanded on institution of higher learning for Northwest Missouri have been justified. The Golden Anniversary Year is a year of appreciation of all those people responsible for the founding and progress of the college. It is also a dedication toward the Golden Future of the College. Those of us on the campus in 1955-56 desire to do two things: first, to dedicate this Golden Anniver- sary Tower to all those who have contributed in any way to the establishment and development of the college; second, to pledge that, motivated by their work and by the oath of the college, we shall pass it on to future generations in a spirit of devotion and reverence. J. W. Jones, Presideni Page 5 WHb scarcely more forewarning than fhe dread of final exams, aiiother school year has come and gone. Now, even that abominable obstacle is behind us, an d anticipation is our only frustration. Anfici- pation of an unobligated vacation, or of pocket-padding employment as the case may be. In some instances it may be the beginning of a self-dependent life, with little further supervision from parents or ad- ministration. But without exception, each life has altered as a result of the effusion of college atmosphere— formal, social, and incidental. Most of these associations will be easily remembered; but with the contri- bution of the 1956 TOWER, fhe staff hope that they have compiled some of the fondest incidents into indelible registry. Don Herren, Editor TABLE OF CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION FACULTY STUDENTS ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS RECREATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS RELIGION Page 6 1DJ ' jnt Page 7 mmm of the collece Page 8 mmim issace To Each Student of the Northwest Missouri State College: You ore not restricted in your freedom to think of ways and means that may be used to make the environment in which you live a better place for you and your associates. I trust you never will be so restricted. As a college student you have the opportunity to acquire knowledge in many fields. Are you concerned about how you con use this knowledge to help yourself and others to a better world? I wish to em- phasize that you are bound only by the limits you place upon yourself. As a college educated man or woman you have the ability and the responsibility to improve this old world of ours. What needs to be done? Chiefly, I think, to channel the power that is within you towards attaining better things for this world. There are many tasks yet to b e done in your major and minor fields of educational interest that will contribute to the welfare and the happiness of people. You must put your abilities to work. Let your imagination run for ahead of present accomplishments and dream of the things you would like to achieve for the future. Be alert to the opportunities that are about you on every hand. Apply the facts you have stored in your mind in order to gain the worth-while things you want to accomplish. Only through your fervent efforts con the Golden Future be realized. z :— J. W. Jones, President Page 9 OF THE FACOLTY All of us were deeply gratified by the thirty per cent increose In enrollment this year over last, in spite of the many problems resulting therefrom for the faculty. This, with the similar increase of a year ago, is an expression of confidence in this College by the young men and young women of northwest Missouri. Yet, we hope that mounting enrollments here will not cause us to lose the character and atmosphere which have endeared this college to its graduates through the years. Chief among these are a sound academic program with standards high, and a friendly relationship between faculty and students. The construction of buildings, equipment purchases, and staff additions will of necessity occupy much of our at- tention in the future. We are compelled to look ahead. At the same time, awareness and regard for the past are needed. Thomas Masaryk counseled his countrymen: States can be maintained only by respecting those ideals which brought them into existence . Institutions of higher learn- ing may profit from the some counsel. W. A. Brandenburg mU OF REOE TS front Row: A. B. Vogt, M. E. Ford, Harold M. Hull. Bock Row: W. A. Rickenbrode, Secretary, H. F. Sii Dawson, Dr. J. W. Jones. R. L. Douglas, W. M. C. Page 10 Unsung but all important directive body of our State College is its Board of Regents. Six of the most capable and dis- tinguished men of the district of north- west Missouri are appointed to posi- tions on the board by the Governor of the State, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. By low the Board of Regents estab- lishes the policies under which the school operates. To the left are those men, all with the inspired interest of progressive education at heart, who currently hold seats on the Board. KEGISTRAK Mr. Robert P. Foster serves in the importont capacity of Registrar of tfie college. With his assistance, the stuclent can maintain a logical and sequential schedule in his advancement towards graduation and his chosen degree. The Registrar and his staff compile schedules and maintain files of grades, transcripts, and many other individual records. DIHECTOI! OF FIELD SEKVICES Keynote to the efficiency of the Field Service department of the college is the versatility of director Everett W. Brown. Promotion, public relations, recruitment, extension, and placement, all demand and receive his personal attention. By the students he is recognized most for his organization and personable chaperoning of departmental trips, and for his assistance during spring contests, parents ' and senior days, and play days. COILECE TltE SUIiEI{ The College Treasurer is the unassuming title of Mr. Luther Belcher. His extensive duties, however, encompass regulation of daily business affairs, student labor, faculty salaries, organizational budgets, and sup- ply, as well as normal financial records. His records are undoubtedly the most exact and extensive with regard to management and maintenance of the college. A pleasant staff assists Mr. Belcher with his work. Page 1 1 COUNSELOR OF STUDEITS Ideally cast as Director of Student Guidance is Dr. Charles E. Koerble. No one could be more willing or understanding in his assistance. In only two years, Dr. Koerble has won the undivided affection of the student body. He has this year inaugurated the new Student Advisory Council. In addition to his duties as counselor. Dr. Koerble is an instructor in the De- partment of Education in the area of mental hygiene and in techniques of counselir g. He holds B.S., M.A., ond Ph.D. degrees. DIRECTOli OF mm] ACTIVITY The duty of coordinating the campus calendar falls on the capable shoulders of Miss Lois Simons. Her daily and yearly schedule is full to overflowing with ac- tivities large and small. Quiet, unobtr usive, yet ever present with logical suggestions when the need is greatest: this is Miss Simons. She advises the Union Board and the Social Committee, and assists each and every organization in extra curricular and social endeavors. OF Immediately recognized by each male student on the campus is Lon Wilson. His friendly Hello! and man-to-man attitude are always evident, but he can be tactfully firm when need be. Mr. Wilson supervises men ' s labor and housing, and also serves as sponsor of the Inter-fraternity council. In addition to his work with students, Lon is Superintendent of buildings and grounds, thus supervising the maintenance work on the campus.

For their evident indication of ability, personality, and leadership, the above seniors have been chosen to represent the college in the 1956 registry of Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities. A short biography of each of these students will appear in this year ' s publication of that honorary organization. Nominations were made from the eligible students by a student-faculty committee. To be eligible, an individual must have maintained a grade-point aver- age of 1.75, and a predetermined point system was employed to evaluate their non-curricular contribu- tions. These people hove led a well-rounded, consci- entious, and influential campus life, and are certain to display the same superlative ability in any future endeavor.

Beginning with the summer session of 1955, when 37 scholars enrolled for the first offering of study on the graduate level, the program has received increas- ing attention. The plan, of course, best accommodates the person already engaged in teaching, and is ex- pected to command the greatest enrollment during the summer terms. Interest has thus far been concentrated in the fields of Education, Business, English, History and Social Science. It must be understood that such a program is care- fully prepared and supervised. Indeed, the load was not superimposed upon the existing undergraduate curriculum, but was realized only after the addition of several Doctorate faculty, and careful survey of library and other relative facilities. The program, and the scholastic contributions of those in pursuit of their Master degrees, have already been appraised as comparable to similar work in larger institutions with long established policies. Among the 23 students enrolled on the graduate level during the first semester and the 9 during the second semester of 1955-1956, is Miss Teresa Esteban, person- able visitor from Argentina. Universally admired and recognized on the campus, she was the only graduate student to submit her portrait to the college yearbook. The school is proud to recognize Miss Esteban in such a manner. In addition to her study, Teresa instructs an evening class in practical Spanish for interested students and adults from the community.

We will now call the meeting of the Student Sen- ate to order. Parliamentarian Seversen, will you please keep us in order? The point for discussion is our Student Senate in operation throughout the past year. The Golden Year for the college also meant an unusually active year for the Senate. President Ken Moore and the sponsors. Dr. Sterling Surrey and Miss Lois Simons, with the other members, executed their program with commendable success. Within the range of Senate obligations was super- vision of Walkout Day, regulation of campaign and ballot proceedings during the election of the Home- coming Queen, support of the Student Loan Fund, and selection of a big name band for the spring formal. In addition, Senate legislation extended year-long power to the Gimmick Committee, whose function it was to elaborate on activities heightening the Golden Year celebration. The committee sponsored a beard-growing contest and old-timers week in con- junction with Homecoming. Each and every Senator did his duty toward pro- viding necessary, fair legislation, and co-ordination of campus activities, thereby contributing to the wel- fare of the college for this year and the years to come. In addition to those members identified above, nine new members took the oath of office on January 5. They were: Dick Frizzell, Wayne Boydston, Betty Cooksey, Peggy Morrow, Naomi Shipley, Bob James, Margaret Boyd, Velma Swartz, and Weldon Dowden. After such lengthy dissertation, and with all due respect to Bob Smith, we adjourn. Page 70 HOicoi o comim[ Front Row: Shirley Motslnger, Wayne Boydston, Chairn Cross, Carolyn Mix.

In spite of high winds and rain, Dr. John Harr, fac- ulty adviser, Wayne Boydston, student chairman, and their committee members promoted this year ' s Golden Anniversary Homecoming to record propor- tions on October 27, 28, and 29, 1955. Paramount feature in the three-day celebration was the two mile long parade viewed by an esti- mated 16,000 persons. Sigma Tau Gamma frater- nity ' s Proud as o Peacock entry, and Phi Sigma Epsilon ' s skunk, which proclaimed Rolla Ain ' t Worth a Scent, captured top honors in the beauty and humorous float divisions of the parade, respectively. The other floats, all of which were outstanding, the many jalopies and entertaining clowns, and forty- seven high school bands brought the number of units very near to the 100 mark. On Thursday and Friday nights, the Variety Show provided more competition for campus organiza- tions, and more fun and excitement for the capacity crowds of alumni, parents, and students. Our For- tune, presented by the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority, was declared the best skit of the show. Presenting our Homecoming Royalty! Jean Swan- son as Queen, and Wayne Boydston, Mr. 1905 reigned over the proceedings of the festive weekend. The Homecoming dance featured the David Car- roll orchestra, with singer Jery Mercer, and boasted one of the largest alumni turnouts ever recorded. Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity earned enough points in all-around participation to capture the Homecoming Supremacy Cup, and in so doing, accu- mulated a sufficient three-year total to gain perma- nent possession of the coveted trophy.

The activity of the Social Committee added en- joyable variety to the students ' daily routine this year. Registration dances, after-dinner and after- game dances were regular affairs. The formal Christmas Ball, and the All-School Spring Dance featuring The Buddy Morrow bond were promoted by this subdivision of the Student Senate. Also memorable was Sadie Hawkins week in which the girls legally resorted to the chasing and consequently to furnishing the treats. The week was climaxed with a dance where costumes were modeled after the famous Al Capp characters. The committee chairmen was Larry Jones, and Miss Lois Simons, Director of Student Activities, served as the sponsor.

Not Sho Sharon Ols. in supplementing the activities sponsored by the social committee and campus organizations, the Union Board has this year set up such projects as photo contests, coffee hours, and bridge instruction, and is procuring a hi-fidelity set for the music room. The board thus supports small groups and individuals in realizing a well adjusted campus life. The Union Board is a representative of the Social Committee and the Student Senate. In January, Miss Simons, Mrs. Burke, and student members Ken Moore and Chuck Gorton, attended a regional meeting of Student Union personnel at Pittsburg, Kansas. Page 72 mmvi nuMiiTEE ■5 -J -A ' A- For the enlightenment and entertainment of the students, the Assembly Committee brought note- worthy professionals in fields of literature, diplo- macy, and entertainment to the campus. Some of the best received of these were the United States Navy Band, John Mason Brown, lec- turer, and the return engagements of Lucile Cum- mings, contralto, Dwight Cook, diplomat and lec- turer, and the Gryder-Franklin Dance Troupe. Aside from these informative and entertaining programs, there were many campus productions, the music and drama departments contributing their talents for these. The Assembly Committee is unique in that it is comprised of both faculty members and students with equal powers of suggestion, discussion, and vote.

Back Row; Anna Roberts, Norman Higginbotham, secretary; Ted Reed, pres- ident; Denzil Mcintosh, John Fred Whitford, Jack Patten, Gwen Grove. The Student Advisory Council was organized only this year. Upperclassmen were selected by the chair- men of their major departments on the basis of their academic accomplishments and indicated leadership ability. Each student advisor then selected ten fresh- men students for whom he or she was to offer per- sonal help and guidance. Generally, this selection was made while keeping like major academic in- terests between student and advisor. Additional activity and experience of this organi- zation will moke it a more effective adjunct to the total college program of assisting the freshman in the fullest realization of his capabilities, and in his more satisfying adjustment to college life, both academic and social. Page 73 MM mk m Alpha Sigma ' s first important event of the year was the informal rush party following the theme of a Football Jamboree. The tables were decorated with red and white megaphones, miniature goal- posts, and red pennants. Popcorn, apples, and cokes were served to further create the atmosphere of the football season. Active member Pot Adams acted as master of ceremonies. The formal rush party held in the chapter room was a fitting climax to the week of rushing. Thirty- one pledges were added to the roll. Homecoming was the highlight of the first se- mester ' s activities. With it come the usual problems, but the rewarding factor was that Alpha entries placed in every event. The big basket of flowers and the eskimo igloo made up the Alpha float entries in the parade. The Alpha Sigma Skit, The Bearcats ' Museum, gave the Homecoming audience a glimpse of the queens of the past with their com- parative styles and dances. Judy Beemer was the gracious queen candidate representing the Alphas. In major school events such as the Dance Club program and Swim Show, Alpha Sigma Alpha members were always present. Included in the cast of Dark of the Moon were Jeanne Goodson, Marilyn McKern, and Charlene Olson. The sorority was always well represented at the football games with Nancy Rainey, Nancy Kariger, and Judy Beemer as cheerleaders, and Jo Swonson and Sue Williamson as majorettes. The Alphas were proud to see Shirley Motsinger recognized as TOWER Queen of the year after a popular election of the student body. Events of the second semester included Fun Week and the Sweetheart Dance In February. The Spring Formal and the annual Mother-Daughter Tea were both in May. These ore only a few of the rich memories of the year for the Alpha Sigma Alphas.

That is what the Delta rushees found awaiting them after being led blind- folded down a flight of stairs to the dorm basement. Such was the introduction to the informal gypsy party. Fortune teller Margaret Robinson gave each rushee a glimpse into her future while chef Kathlyn Taylor provided refreshments real gypsy style: chili a la tin can, and pop-in-a-can. Later, by candlelight, the gypsies were transformed into beautifully gowned ladies at the formal rush party. The Homecoming future was soon at hand. Queen candidate Norma Jean Hawkins paused to powder her nose as the skit cast sang Pretty Baby , ac- companied by Elizabeth Westergaard. Barbara Boyd, Beverlee Mason, and Joann Stephens starred in the Delta skit, Co-eds Now and Then. Homecoming day dawned, not warm and sunny as predicted, but cold and windy. At 5:00 on Home- coming morning, Verio Mossman, house decorations chairman. Donna Nenneman, and Marian Stiles were busy erecting a sign which had been finished by Lauretta Taylor and Anno Belle Loose only three short hours earlier. By 9:30, Barbara Boyd, Margaret Robinson, and Virginia Buzzard were taking their places on the beauty float, A Golden Victory for a Golden Year. Marcia Woodcock gave last minute instructions to chefs Kathlyn Taylor and Sandra Bill on the humorous float, Minerburger. And so passed Homecoming.

Poge 77 Sim mm %m r Under the leadership of President Marty Newman, the Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority finished another successful year. The opening of school found the Tri Sigmas enter- taining during rush week. A large group of gold miners attended the informal rush party, Sigma Gold Rush, held at the Country Club. Following the formal rush party, Deep Purple, sixteen girls pledged Tri Sigma. Thanks to Marilyn O ' Connor, Tri Sigma was ex- tremely successful in this year ' s Homecoming activi- ties. Jean Swanson reigned as Homecoming Queen, and Tri Sigma ' s skit, Our Fortune, placed first in the Variety Show. The skit took time and work (any- one who doubts this, ask writer, Barbara Julius, Velma Swartz, or Marym Croy), but the sorority enjoyed every minute of it. Hours of hard work were also put on the beauty float entitled Sailin On, which tied for second place in the parade. All Tri Sigma members and pledges enjoyed the Alumni Dinner which was held at the Christian Church. Tri Sigma alumni are excellent cooks! Throughout the year, Tri Sigma members were busily engaged in school activities. Cheerleaders, Barbara Nixon and Shirley Dieterich; majorette, Margaret Boyd; Student Senate members, Shirley Dieterich, Velmo Swartz, Peggy Morrow, and Mar- garet Boyd, ore only a few of the extra busy mem- bers. Others of the group were class or organiza- tional officers, and all engaged in girl ' s intromurals, including basketball, bowling, swimming, and vol- leyball. An old custom of the Tri Sigma sorority was re- vived this year when they gave a dance, the Toad Skip, for all active members of Greek social organi- zations on the campus. Virginia Watkins, dance chairman, did an excellent job of planning the dance. Other events of the year . . . receiving the scholarship cup . . . the dinner given by the Patron- esses at the Country Club . . . the annual Christmas Party with the delicious refreshments furnished by Miss Neva Ross, Tri Sigma ' s new sponsor . . . the Sock Hop promoted by the pledges ... the Founders Day Banquet as planned by Connie Cutler . . . the Tri Sigma Spring Formal . . . and the Senior Break- fast, a fitting end to another wonderful school year.

Page 80 PHI mm m m Phi Sigma Epsilon activities were very much in evidence on the campus this year, as numerous successes brought recognition from all sides. How- ever late, on astounding jump in position in the race for the supremacy cup could well be an indication of things to come. Things started off with a bang with the Rush Smoker entertaining over 50 frosh and unaffiliated men. The band, the chorus line, and the quartette contributed, and informality was the keynote while everyone kept on the funny side. Twenty-nine men chose Phi Sigma Epsilon and served a faithful pledgeship. Homecoming demanded everyone ' s united effort, and a stronger bond within the group was the result. In number of entries, the Phi Sigs dominated the parade, and the amount of cash awards taken home was an indication of the quality of the entries in all departments. The realistic skunk aboard the humor float, the hop-along jalopy, and raccoon- coated clowns Jerry White and Bill Geer brought home first place bacon. Seconds were garnered by the house decorations, clowns, and over-all par- ticipation. The most talked about clown was Ron Searcy, who hod had if. The self-propelled beauty float, though hampered by an untimely breakdown, still placed a commendable fourth. The Alumni banquet was on unquestionable success and resulted in the reorganization of an Alumni Association. Invaluable ideas were brought home by repre- sentatives to both the Pittsburg and Warrensburg Regional Conclaves. The annual PSE Christmas boll, with music by the Rhythmaires, was nothing less than perfect. Hell Night was ominously dark and c-o-l-d, but pledges completed their problems, no matter how nonsensical. Formal initiation was January lOfh. Biggest time-consuming project during the second semester was the traditional Phi Sig Frolics. While the program deviated from the usual Minstrel theme, it proved bigger and better than ever. Laurels should go to Bob James for his commendable job of promo- tion, and to George Green and Burl Walters, music chairmen. Second semester rushees were entertained on February 28th. Ten names formulated the new pledge roll. The orchid ball, again with the danceable melodies of the Rhythmaires, completed the formal social activities for the year. Sure to be remembered ore the numerous informol dances in the chapter room; the slightly fantastic tales brought home from Pittsburg; no gas to come home from Warrensburg; Roberts on the carpet; no heat in the chapter room; prolonged meetings.

With Larry Jones as chief executive, Theta chap- ter of Sigma Tau Gamma, represented by twenty- six actives ancJ thirty-seven pledges, continued the traditional top quality work of the Taus by obtain- ing permanent possession of the Homecoming Supremacy trophy. In this Golden Anniversary event, the Taus obtained first place honors in the beauty float division of the parade with an original and intricate two section float which had as its theme 50 Years of Pride. The house decorations, This Ain ' t No Wheel of Chance, also stood in first place after the judging was completed. Second place was garnered in the humor float division with This Is No Gravy Train. These wins, along with further excellent participation, contributed enough points to secure permanent possession of the coveted trophy. Several members of Sigma Tau Gammo distin- guished themselves during the year. Kenneth Moore received the honor of being elected Student Body President, and Wayne Boydston was selected as Mr. 1905 in addition to serving as chairman of the Homecoming Committee. Larry Jones was chairman of the Social Committee during the year. The Taus were also well represented in varsity sports. Student Senate, Union Board, and many other activities. Social functions are always a major item on the agenda. The 1955 Rose Dance was held at the Maryville Country Club, and Miss Janice Dowden was crowned as Rose Queen. In addition to this spring highlight, many informal functions such as pledge dances, hoyrides, mid-term relief parties, and mixers were pleasant interludes from busy schedules. Having always been strong intramural contenders, the Taus finished off the year by winning the Intra- mural Supremacy trophy. Page 83 m um [n m first Row. Richard Tillon, James Snop, Deon Jensen.

Bill Delta Nu chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon began its second year on campus with impetus of a record twenty-seven man pledge class obtained under the able directorship of rush chairman Ralph Barnett. The tempest of Homecoming came and went with an abundance of activity and temper tension. The energy thus expended was rewarded, however, by an attractive array of awards, highlighted by a second place prize for the beauty float competition. The social wheel also started rolling in early October with a treasure hunt and hay ride con- ceived by social chairman Jim Gromer. Yuletide brought with it the heartwarming ex- perience of the annual TKE orphan ' s party. The walls of quad 4 were mellowed by the shouts and laughter of fourteen orphan boys that December Sunday, end those who were present will not soon forget the impromptu humor contributed by Bill Arloff and his Christmas story. The triangle troop was active in the intramural athletic program. Their efforts were rewarded by the first place football trophy and high standings in other events. History repeated itself at NWMSC. TKE held a slave auction. The unfortunates were Teke pledges who sold their time for the benefit of the fraternity. The colorful atmosphere recalled the ante-bellum days of the old south. The spring season was highlighted by the Carna- tion Ball which occurred in early May. Tau Kappa Epsilon became the proud guardians of the scholarship trophy for the 1955-1956 academic season. Now, its retirement is the goal. In nostalgic reverie: The unusual strains of Ken- ton and Brubeck reverberating through the halls of the TKE home, quad 4; endless exchange of amateur philosophy; the frosh revolt at Walk-out; and the eager plans for week end excursions.

First on the agenda was the annual meeting of all bums and tramps on campus for the gala Hobo Party. Wanda David and Veldeva Cochran planned this Bum ' s Reunion, and over two hundred students attended. Next came Homecoming. The Independents en- tered both a humorous and a beauty float, as well house decorations, a skit, and several clowns and jalopies. Miss Aileen Turner rode as attendant on the Queen ' s float to represent the Independent Club. Unforgettable was the White Elephant sale with Elvin Long acting as auctioneer. It was interesting to witness the astonishment registered as packages were opened to disclose such items as white ele- phonts (literally) or other nonsensical things. Frank Garey found his purchase to be a miniature baby bottle! Well, the instructions were to bring useful gifts. Executive positions were filled this year by Fred Whitford as president; Veldeva Cochran, vice presi- dent; Betty Cooksey, treasurer; Shirley Woodring, secretary; and Anna Roberts, historian. The sponsors were Mr. John L. Smay, and Dr. Charles E. Koerble. The regional convention of Independent Clubs was held at Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana, this year. Barbara Crowe, Don Bills, and Robert William- son were representatives at this convention. Don Bills was elected to be the Missouri State Representative to the notional convention at the University of Texas in Austin. The hay ride, a square dance and a round dance, a card party, Christmas caroling, and the Spring Formal are only a few of the other highlights to be remembered. I ' U-H[U[ I(; COU CIL Front Cow.

The group, which is nationally af- filiated, supervised inter-sorority activi- ties to promote scholarship and good will among the sororities. The Council again issued a scholar- ship cup on the merits of overall grade point averages of the members. Sigma Sigma Sigma was recipient of the cup for the fourth consecutive year. The President of the Council this year was Miss Martha Newman of Sig ma Sigma Sigma. i T[i{-FiiAT[i{ iTy mm The Inter-Fraternity Council serves the express purpose of coordinating the ac- tivities of the three fraternities on the campus. This year ttie Council has taken definite steps to eliminate friction be- tween fraternities during rush periods because of misinterpretation of specific rush laws. An All-Greek dance was held on St. Pofrick ' s day, and plans have been made for on oil-fraternity Sing to be held in the fall semester of 1956. The officers of the Council, respective presidents of the three fraternities, were: Ric Tilton, Tau Kappa Epsilon, President; Dave Penwell, Phi Sigma Epsilon, Vice- President; Lorry Jones, Sigmo Tau Gamma, Secretary-Treasurer. 4 ' Im If; Front «ow Richo Secretory Treoiwn Tilton.

During the Hanging of the Greens ceremony, Wanda David reigned as the Spirit of Christmas. In addition to these traditional functions, a program was given for the old folks at Plainview Rest Home. Each of the three floors sponsored a just-for-fun party. One of the parties was solemnized by the presentation of medals to the Dorm Council members by Miss Simons. The girls have especially enjoyed the new recreation room, which has a TV set OS its feature attraction.

In 1955, participants were awarded three second place ratings in oratory, and a first, a second, and a third in poetry reading. In competition this year, members Hogee, Ramsey, and Evans re- ceived Excellent ratings in newscasting; Ramsey and Hochstien gornered Excel- lents in poetry reading, and Ramsey also accumulated a Superior rating in oratory.

O. is a service fraternity composed of former Boy Scouts who wish to continue the policy of combining service to youth, college, community, and nation with schol- arship and recreation. Many members are also mem- bers of social fraternities. Service projects for the year included publishing a student directory, assisting with concession stands and checkrooms at games and dances, erecting signs to direct visitors, and installing a public announce- ment system in the Bearcat Den. In keeping with the fiftieth anniversary theme of the Homecoming parade, A. P. O. entered a 1907 International truck which carried bricks, planks, and Keith Collier and Harold Grout as workmen, repre- senting the beginning foundations of Northwest Mis- souri State College. Elbert Blair directed the Home- coming Variety skit. It was well received and the house decorations also placed well. The pledges gave an early morning party for the actives in November. This, along with the pledge initiation banquet and the Spring Formal at the Country Club, ranked as the outstanding social events of the year. Officers for the spring semester are: Ed Vann, president; Elbert Blair, vice-president; Carl Hoffman, treasurer; Dean Howard, secretary; and Dan Sulli- van, reporter. Mr. MyrI Long and Mr. Leonard Levy are the untiring sponsors.

From the beginning of school there loomed the inevitable Homecoming. With Dick Smith handling the details, the Aggies ' float was completed and placed third in the humorous division of the parade. As in previous years, coffee was served to Aggie alumni at the form shop, where the opportunity to visit with such men as Marian Tiemann and Maurice Nelson was enjoyable indeed. With such men in the ranks as Byron Cooper, Mau- rice Johnson, and Don Blackford, things did not quiet down much after Homecoming, since the calendar kept moving towards the annual Barnwarming. According to the traditional method of distributing invitations, the club members with Raymond Butt as master of ceremonies, assembled at the residence of their various dates. Upon the inevitable failure to answer a simple question put forth by the emcee, each girl was given the alternative of kissing either her date or the mascot, a Corriedoie ram. One of the biggest highlights of the Aggies ' year is always the spring livestock judging award banquet. In 1955, Harold Baker won the much sought after Golden Bull, thus proving his superiority as a judge. The evening was topped off by a message delivered by the popular speaker and research scientist. Dr. Wise Burroughs, from Iowa State College. In the spring of 1955, the Aggies ' judging team, composed of Maurice Nelson, Don Shomberger, John Harvey, Harold Baker, and Glen Dukes, with George Lockridge, Gene Mitchell, and Ted Reed serving as alternates, participated in the Junior division of the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Livestock Judging Contest.

The year 1955-56 gave A. C. E. the largest enroll- ment in its history. Children Need Adults was the theme selected for the year ' s professional programs. Educators, rep- resentative groups of parents, and members from the community hove helped to present the theme in an interesting and highly successful manner. Marjorie Wallace has been president of the organ- ization for this year. Social activities, with Connie Cutler as chairman, have been varied and enjoyable. In September there was a coke party for prospective members. A dinner honoring Dr. Laura Zirbes was observed in October. There were also the Homecoming luncheon, a Valen- tine party, the Christmas party, a spring formal dinner, and the Senior breakfast. In February, as a special project for the children, A. C. E. presented Peter Rabbit, a three act oper- etta. Two performances were given in order to accom- modate all children in the community. Though no small amount of preparation was necessary, the proj- ect proved to be as much fun for the members as for the children. Lost spring the green and white Bearcat bus took many of the members to the national A. C. E. meeting in Kansas City. It was a real thrill to see and hear so many of the celebrities in the field of Elementary Edu- cation. In April of this year, Barbara Nixon was for- tunate in being able to represent the branch at the national meeting in Washington, D. C. Many of the members also attended the state meeting in Cape Girardeau in May. Page 96 ITEHIDIATE CLUB Front Row: Naomi Shipley, Vice-President; Mory E. Keith, Spon- sor; Mary Rolf, Presidenf.

The club ' s activities for the year began with a get-acquainted party for freshmen and old mem- bers on September 14th. Games were played, and old members related summer experiences. Probably the most enjoyed was Mary Rolf ' s report on her sum- mer school attendance at the University of Colorado. The next meeting was utilized in getting every- one ' s ideas for the use of the program committee in formulating the year book. The club selected the theme We Look Forward To Teaching. The ap- pointment of committees for Homecoming and the annual decision with regard to which activities would demand the club ' s time were also dispatched. An entry was registered in the window decoration con- test. Bev Crane ' s idea, Secret of the Shifting, Whispering Sands, ignited a spark of enthusiasm, and was accepted unanimously. Miss Gorsuch and Mrs. Graham were in charge Page of the first theme meeting, Off To A Good Start. The club made and sold candy at the District Teachers Meeting in October. In November the group was a guest of F.T.A. and enjoyed slides on Japan, Alaska, and Hawaii. The Christmas meeting was both a party and a candle light initiation ceremony for new members. Two educational films about past and present teaching methods were enjoyed by the group early in January. The club combined with A.C.E. and F.T.A. to hear an inspirational talk by Mrs. Easton during Religious Emphasis Week. One of the most memorable pro- grams was Teresa Esteban ' s talk about schools and life in Argentina. Shades of green were in evidence at the Student Union to celebrate the St. Patrick ' s day party. The spring picnic, May 9, at Roadside Park, was the concluding event on the calendar. 97 mm mn muM phi Front Row- Mo y Newman, Second Vice-Presidenf; Ann Bridge- water, President; Doris Ann Staples, Treosurer; Barbara Toylor, Firsi Vice-President; Eorbara LoMar.

This was the dedication of a plaque honoring the founding of Kappa Omicron Phi, on this Northwest Missouri State College campus, December 11, 1922. The plaque was presented to Alpha chapter at the national conclave in Albu- querque, New Mexico on August 13, 1955. Alpha chapter proudly displays the trophy in the Home Economics Department of the Administration building, where the idea for Kappa Omicron Phi originated. Mrs. Ann Bridgewater was the delegate of Alpha chapter to attend the national conclave at Albu- querque. Kappa Omicron Phi held their annual coffee hour for the alumnae during Homecoming. Miss Mabel Cook, sponsor of Alpha chapter and National President, journeyed to Kearney, Nebraska, on November 19, 1955, to install Alpha Omicron chapter of Kappa Omicron Phi. Those accompanying her were Ann Bridgewater, Carolyn Mix, Erma Dean Grabill, and Betty Cooksey. Miss Cook and the girls were in charge of the initiation of the members and the installation of the officers. Founders Day, December 11, was observed with the traditional candle lighting service and a dessert party. A plaque honoring Miss Anthony was dedi- cated and a photograph of Miss Anthony was un- veiled by the president, Ann Bridgewater. Mopsy was the name of the doll for which each member made a costume. Mopsy and her wardrobe were given away as a door prize at the benefit tea on December 15. The senior members of Kappa Omicron Phi were honored by the actives with a banquet in May. The Kappa Omicron Phi chapters of Kansas and Missouri will meet at Warrensburg, Missouri, in August, 1956, for the regional conclave.

Colhecon inatched the record enrollment of the col- lege v ith a membership drive of its own. Twenty- seven freshman and sophomore Home Economics majors were initiated into the club in an impressive candlelight ceremony at the October meeting. Together with Kappa Omicron Phi, the club par- ticipated in the Homecoming activities by serving the Home Economics alumni luncheon, and by entering in the window decoration contest. Also during Homecoming week, Jaunita Myrtue successfully directed the major money-making proj- ect, which increased Colhecon ' s bank account by nearly eighty dollars. Roasting wieners and marshmallows was conducive to making new friends at the Kappa Omicron Phi — Colhecon annual picnic at the college park in Sep- tember. This annual social event serves as a formal welcome to freshmen and transfer Home Economics students. Dorothy Evans and Sandra Bill, along with all the new members, carried out one of their initiation duties by promoting the annual Christmas party. Everyone enjoyed some peppy games, and then came the oh ' s and oh ' s during the gift exchange. The party was topped off by attractive and tasty home- made refreshments. As a college club section of the National AHEA, Colhecon carried out activities of state and notional AHEA. The main event of the year was the annual spring State Convention. Several of the girls jour- neyed to Columbia in March and came home with reports of on interesting and educational experience. Sharing credit for a very successful year were Erma Dean Grabill, who served as president during the first semester, and Evelyn Mathews, second semester president. Colhecon also extends its appreciation to Miss Long for her fine sponsorship. Page 99 imiiMi PI Front Row: Jack Patton, Treasurer; Dirk Wilbur, Presidei l: Donn. Lea Ross, Secretary.

Beta Chapter of Pi Omega Pi, honorary business fraternity, began the Golden Anniversary year with the following active members: Dirk Wilbur, J. W. Stone, Jack Patton, Donna Lea Ross, Jo Ann Meek, Avis Murrell, Frank Davis, and Evelyn (Pinter) Sever- sen. J. W. Stone, vice-president, conducted initiation services for the following new members: James Roll, Nancy Kariger, and Aleta (Butler) Mullins. An impres- sive induction ceremony was held early in November for the following new pledges: Art Buckingham, Robert Duke, Karne Gardner, Millard Honing, Charles Howard, Ted Lockin, Robert McNeill, and Floyd Tripp. The first major activity for the year was a window display in a downtown store for Homecoming. The theme was Then and Now, which showed the prog- ress made in office equipment during 50 years. Some hilarious incidents occurred in dealing with unclad mannequins. J. W. Stone declared he would not be seen carrying one down the street. Jo Ann Meek donated the use of the basement of her home, and she and other members contributed much to this proj- ect. The Maryville Chamber of Commerce awarded the organization second prize for the display. The traditional Homecoming luncheon was held in the Lake View room of the Student Union. The next major project of the year was Operation Christmas Tree. Dirk Wilbur, Jom Roll, Jo Ann Meek, Avis Murrell, J. W. Stone, Floyd Tripp, and Millard Honing proved to be super-salesmen, as were other members. In fact, there wasn ' t a good tree left for their own Christmas party. Other activities of the year were: helping the Art Club with on art exhibit; publishing a yearbook; a Christmas party planned by Millard Honing, Karen Gardner, and Floyd Tripp, and which included wives, husbands, and friends of the group; a spring social honoring seniors of the organization; and a most memorable annual trip— this year to Chicago. The fraternity ' s sponsors were Mr. Robert Gryder, an alumnus of Alpha Nu Chapter, and Mr. Lee Hoover, on alumnus of this chapter.

Zeta Lambda chapter of Kappa Delta Pi main- tained a busy and interesting schedule during the college ' s Golden Anniversary year. Early in the season. Dr. Matthews described the educational system of France. At another fall meet- ing, a mother of a Horace Mann student told the group what she as a parent expects of a teacher. A Maryville minister later told what he expected of a teacher. These talks most certainly contributed to the professional growth of the group. At the Christmas party in the Union Lounge on December 16, the pledges provided the entertain- ment and refreshments. Dr. Herbert White of St. Joseph led a discussion at the meeting during Religious Emphasis Week. The subject was Is Religion on Elective? Jack Patton, James Gromer and J. W. Stone attended the bi-annual National Convocation at Oklahoma A M College, which was observed from March 15 to March 17. A bibliofile contest was sponsored to encourage students to build libraries of their own. Winners were announced at the Honors Day assembly. This year Kappa Delta Pi contrived to accomplish and maintain its goals of scholarship and leadership. Marylyn Lamar, Jo Ann Meek, Kenneth Moore, Martha Newman, Barbara Nixon, Gerald Sprong, and Fred Whitford were selected to Who ' s Who. Russell Thompson was the able president of the group. Dr. John Horr was the sponsor. The year ended with the annual Charter Day banquet at the Union. Page W1 WTERiS ' {,m Front Row: Charles E.

The result of that meet- ing, and several subsequent meetings was the for- mation of a Veterans ' Club at Northwest Missouri State College. Late in the first semester, the newly drafted Veterans ' Club Constitution was approved by the Student Senate and the Faculty Council. The club proposes to support the college by co- operating with governing bodies in all matters per- taining to the welfare of the college, by supporting the Student Loan Fund and Scholarships, and by establishing a program of acceptable patterns of conduct, while at the same time uniting a more mature group of men who share common ideals. At Christmas time, the Club installed and deco- rated a beautiful tree in the main hall of the Admin- istration Building. The gesture was well appreciated by the student body. A Student Loan Fund benefit dance was promoted by the Veterans on February 21. The proceeds of the dance went to a worthy cause, but the beauti- ful (?) chorus line which made its appearance during intermission will probably be remembered long after the reason for the dance is forgotten. Though new, the Veterans ' Club has displayed remarkable activity, and members are looking for- ward to increased membership and the opportunity to be of service in the future.

The preparation of the Symphony in B Minor by Schubert; a rocking cradle formation for the Dad ' s night football game; performing Jada at a fast pace to spur on our basketeers; these were among the things which commanded its attention. In addition to playing at the football and basket- ball games, the band went on a concert tour of northwest Missouri. On the social side, the band held a get together dance. The effect of the dance on the musical output was astounding! Fred Whitford proved false the idea that drum majors are merely tall men with loud voices by conducting the concert band on tour in a selection from the operas of Rimsky-Korsakov. Fred also directed the pep bonds. COLLEGE ORCHESTRA Another of the activities of the Division of Music is the college orchestra. The group, open to all qualified players, was this year made up of students, faculty members, and Horace Mann pupils. These people, twenty-five in number, enjoyed performing both orchestral and string ensemble literature. Their annual concert date was in May. R. Pinkerton, J. Hill, R. Williamson, G.

The orchestra usually arranges at least one trip to Kansas City to hear and study concerts of the Kansas City Symphony. In 1955, the group enjoyed hearing the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, which was on tour at that time. PROGRESSIVE JAZZ GROUP In only two years of organized existence, the Jazz group has won the interest and respect of the entire campus and community . Not to be taken lightly, the Progressive Jczz group is on organiza- tion of serious musicians meeting outside of class hours for the purpose of producing concert hall jazz, as precedented by Messrs. Kenton, Herman, Sauter and Finnegon. In addition to arrangements by these august gentlemen, the group has performed arrangements by Mr. Moss and Dave Holland. The group presented its second annual assembly concert, performed at the Rotary convention, pre- sented a program for the Faculty Dames, appeared on one of the college radio programs, and pre- sented assembly programs at local high schools. The sounds of the group were produced by eighteen men, the sounds with words by Barbara Stuber and Marsha Creason.

Any interested student was welcomed into this group, and nearly 80 voices enjoyed this medium of expression. Their most im- portant appearance was at the Christmas Convoca- tion program. TOWER CHOIR This more seriously studying group experienced a very successful year. Forty-five voices, selected from the chorus and music students, performed o cappella. They first appeared in concert for the Rotarian ' s District Convention in November. They joined the chorus for the Christmas convocation. Between semesters they toured the district in a series of con- certs and concluded with a college performance. Along this 350 mile road trip, they sang to 2300 people in 12 concerts. For their work during the spring semester, the choir performed Wilder ' s light operatic stage pro- duction, The Lowland Sea, written for choir and Gory Funkhous r, Don Herren, W,..atl,.i J ■ .on P.ltsen- borger, Grace Denton, Sylvia McConkey.

On Patents ' Day, the Tower Choir took great pride in premiering the motet And The Truth Shall Make You Free, a full length work by Mr. Gerhard Krapf of the music faculty, and dedicated to the college on this 50th anniversary year. The final appearance for the group was at the Bac- calaureate services. OPERA WORKSHOP The opera workshop set aside its usual study of operatic lore in order to develop a successful per- formance of the most demanding work the music division has attempted. Puccini ' s Gianni Schicchi, a comic opera in one act, was performed by the group on the same program with The Lowland Sea. MADRIGAL SINGERS This small group acquainted themselves with the interesting field of madrigals and were afforded the opportunity to try a very difficult and intimate style of singing. Local appearances were made at the college and in the community. Page 106 l )!

In view of this fact, the Co-Recreational Council arranged for recrea- tional facilities of the college to be available to the students on a liberal schedule with necessary super- vision, but largely on an informal basis. The college gymnasium was open for co-recrea- tional activities on Wednesday nights from 8:00 to 9:30, and on Saturday afternoons from 2:00 to 4:30. The college pool was open for mixed swimming on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 4:00 to 5:30. By obtaining a special golf sports permit from Dr. Peterson ' s office, students were free to use the Mary- ville Country Club at any time. The Moryville Bowling Alley, with modern and complete facilities, is open the year round. Special lowered rates were made available to college students on Monday afternoons. The Council consists of ten members, five men and five women. On the present body are Roger Cook, George Hoskey, Nancy Rainey, Ruth Rethe- meyer, Gloria Jamison, and Barbara Kunze. Roger Cook is the chairman. The program provides that anyone, no matter what his degree of ability, can engage in healthy, recreative activities on a competitive basis, or just for fun.

In the fall, fast and furious action was seen in touch football, with the Tekes finally landing the championship. The Sig Taus commanded second place. Danny Evans cinched the singles tennis title for the Independent Club. Certainly the most interest was centered around the competition in basketball, with each organization boasting four teams. With as many as six games being played each night, a regular league type bracket was followed. When all playoffs were com- pleted, a Sig Tau team occupied top position, with the Phi Sigs in second. Even after the championship had been decided, the organizations unofficially extended the season by fielding all-star teams. This year was also tops in Intramural ping-pong, volleyball, and badminton, and in the spring, the activity returned outdoors for competition in golf, tennis doubles, softball, and track. Medals were given the winners of individual sports, while organizational teams were rewarded with trophy cups. Standings and placements were totaled and computed to determine the winner of the traveling supremacy trophy. An individual trophy was also awarded to the Intramural athlete who had gathered the most points during active partici- pation. In 1955 the individual trophy went to Ono Monochino, and the traveling trophy to the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity. The intramural program is based on the slogan Sports for All, and the Commission is composed of six members representing each social organiza- tion plus one member at large. The group is directed by Dr. H. D. Peterson. Page I )0 s Li; Front Row. Barbara Benning, Chairman, Sandra Hayzlett.

Until this year the women students of the campus have not been afforded the same degree of super- vised Intramural competition as have the men. In the fall of 1955, the Women ' s Intramural Commis- sion was formulated to replace and broaden the function of the former Women ' s Athletic Association into a full scale Intramural program. Seven teams, the Hawks, the Bearkittens, the Red Racers, the Tigerettes, the Alphas, the Tri Sigmas, and the Deltas, entered the consolation elimination tournament in basketball, which was set up and managed by Barbara Kunze. The tournament was won by the Red Racers, with Sherri Heath as cap- tain, and Wilma Jayne, Shirley Peterson, Barbara Kunze, Karen Gardner, Barbara Alsberry, Donna Smith, and Beverly Merkle comprising the team. Sec- ond place winners were the Alpha Sigma Alpha team with Jeanette Roberts, Barbara Sharp, Jo Ann Swanson, Nancy Kariger, Sue Williamson, Darlene Vonderschmidt, Margaret O ' Connor, Sue Whitford, Jo Thielen, and Gladene Sherard. The Hawks were third place winners. During the second semester, interest was centered on the volleyball tournament managed by Sandra Hazlett. Six teams entered the consolation elimina- tion tournament. The teams and their captains were: Hawks, Shirley Heits; Sigma Sigma Sigma, Sandra Hayzlett; Alpha Sigma Alpha, Nancy Rainey; PEM Club, Carolyn McDonald; Independent Club Team I, Barbara Crowe; Independent Club Team II, Veda Sundell. Keen interest was shown in the singles and doubles tournaments in shuffleboard, badminton, aerial darts, and table tennis. Marilyn O ' Connor set up and man- aged the various tournaments for individual sports. Officers of the Council are: Barbara Benning, president; Pat Adams, vice-president; Joyce Lash, secretary; and Janice Volkins, historian. The faculty sponsor is Miss Bonnie Magill.

Traditionally the M Club is composed of men who have lettered in some varsity sport. This year the organization has expanded to include the letter- men of tennis, golf, and baseball, a new sport to our campus. Under the presidency of Jock Spence, the club has completed many activities this year. A spirited Walkout Day was held early in the fall. It was prob- ably the wettest one in many years, even with the pond at so low a level. The Parents ' Night football game and banquet was on October 22. A project towards the purchase of a whirlpool both for the training room was begun. Funds were secured through the sales of programs at football games. Lou Linville and Wayne Jackson were the official sellers. Members of the club acted as hosts for the high school teams competing in the county, sub- regional, and regional basketball tournaments. In the spring, the members also handled the 1956 District High School Track Meet. This year the club tended the concession stand at basketball gomes for the Student Senate. On January 28, 1956, the annual M Club Dance was held in the Armory. Miss Velmo Swortz was crowned as the 1955-56 M Club Queen. Her at- tendants were the Misses Peggy Morrow and Shirley Dieterich. The yearly picnic completed the activities of the club.

The Bearcats ' 1955 Football squad showed im- provement over recent years. Coach Ryiond Milner ' s team was most feared for its fine passing attack. Hard playing and defensive work kept the opponents ' score low. Doane College was first to invade Maryville ' s Memorial Stadium. It was a hard fought game both offensively and defensively. The gun secured the scoring at a 7 to 7 tie. Next, the Bearcats encountered Fort Hays. In spite of strenuous playing by the Cats, the final score was in favor of Hays at 21 to 7. After losing to Hays, the locals went to William Jewell. Jewell scored a third quarter touchdown, and in the final minutes kicked a field goal to in- sure their lead. The score was 10 to 0. With a tie and two losses, the fighting Bearcats came up against another rugged team. Cape Page ! 14 FOOTBML Girardeau applied unbeatable power. The Cats ' only score came in the third quarter, and Cape won the game by a score of 31 to 6. Win hungry, the team invaded Kirksville, the ' 54 champions, hoping to return with the Hickory Stick, the traditional trophy exchanged by Northeast and Northwest. By scoring in the first quarter, and then displaying great defensive power, the Bearcats won this one 6 to 2. The victory over Kirksville sparked the team against Warrensburg, but the Mules scored twice in the second quarter to cinch a 14 to 7 win. Homecoming was a highly anticipated game. The men were determined not to lose the anniversary game in spite of such formidable opponents as the Rolla Miners. Scoring early in the game, the Miners looked great, but the never die Bearcats came back in the second half, getting two touchbacks and a touchdown by clever offensive and defensive work. The 1 1 to 6 win continued a long string of Home- coming victories, and was appreciated by some 6,000 fans and alumni. The home eleven traveled to Springfield to meet the Bears, who were so far winless. With desperate determination, the Bears put our club down to the tune of 20 to 14. Maryville and Rolla were tied for third place in the Conference standings with two wins and three losses. When selection of the All-Conference team was made, Maryville placed two men on the second team. Vic Cromer made the end position, and Darrel Walker was given the quarterback spot. Walker also won the Conference Sportsmanship award, which this year was a handsome Elgin wrist watch. Seniors playing their lost game for Northwest Mis- souri State were: Co-Captain Dole Hague, tackle Don Schenkel, tackle Ed Messbarger, guard Ronald Wray, tackle Bill Coin, and end Richard Wogan.

The 1955-56 basketball varsity experienced both bright and dark moments during the year. The won and lost column indeed doesn ' t indicate the complete story of the season. Although the hoopsters were often outmeasured in height, they were seldom topped in hustle and determination. The locals were often commended for their excellent sportsmanship on the floor. Some of the high spots of the season were: the winning of the Tarkio Invitational Tournament, and defeating the Springfield Bears who had just beaten the league leading Kirksville Bulldogs. Lex Creamer was the leading scorer for the Cats, followed closely by Dana Sharp, Bob Alcorn, and Weldon Dowden. In some of the later gomes of the season, the freshmen proved their ability. Ed Kavanough, Jon Becker, Don Ecklund, and Jim Armstrong all saw plenty of action when some of the regulars were victims of on epidemic of the mumps. Marvin Black, Merrill Nisely, Leo Bangs, Mike Hutcheon, and L. D. Young were other reserves who showed lots of hustle during the year. Seniors wearing a Bearcat uniform for the last time were: Lex Creamer, a three year letterman and a good boll handler; Dana Sharp, a two year letter- man and o good jump shooter and rebou nder; and Weldon Dowden, three year letterman, a good re- bounder and a determined driver. Maryville stood at the bottom of the conference standings at the completion of the season.

Twelve green little Bearcats were admitted to the roll of the Sigma Phi Dolphin Swim Club during the school year. There were two tryout sessions held during the fall semester and new girls were accepted in September and again in December. In order to become members, the girls had to pass certain tests, demonstrating their ability in various strokes and stunts. New Dolphins entertained the active members at the initiation with impromptu water ballets, original dives, and relays. One relay included swimming the length of the pool while reading a newspaper aloud. Night and Day was the theme used for the annual swim show. The April presentation included numbers that were planned and directed by the girls themselves. Marilyn O ' Connor, stunt captain. directed the opening number and the finale. Beverly Blohm, Pat Adams, Nancy Kariger, Barbara Kunze, Barbara Benning, Shirley Dieterich, Judy Beemer, Ruth Rethemeyer, and Ella Erp were directors of in- dividual numbers presented during the three nights of the big splash. High school students were entertained on Senior Day by a short program and demonstration given by the Dolphins. Officers for this successful year were: Barbara Kunze, president; Beverly Blohm, vice-president; Bar- bara Benning, secretary-treasurer; Sue Williamson, reporter; and Marilyn O ' Connor, stunt captain. Miss Bonnie Mogill, M. A., acting chairman of the Women ' s Physical Education Department, is the sponsor of the Sigma Phi Dolphins. Page 124 mm CLUB For many years there has been on the campus an organized and active club for the study of in- terpretive dancing. Alumni tell us that the quality of production, costuming, and performance has al- ways been praiseworthy. in recent years, the club has enjoyed increasing popularity in number of participants, and in public appreciation, but with the passing of the first semester this year, the club was discontinued, be- cause of the loss from the faculty of the latest di- rector. Miss Doris Hysler. It is hoped that the club con reorganize soon. In 1955, the troupe took an appearance tour in southwest Iowa and northwest Missouri. This year, the campus assembly performance was in December. Later, the club was honored to receive on hour ' s helpful instruction from the director of the Gryder- Franklin Dance Troupe, who had appeared on a regularly scheduled assembly. Page 125 ti _ ini ir ' nnTr iii mrm ' nrr TKACK m mmm m The 1955 Bearcat track team was very successful, running up an impressive victory string of nine meets before suffering an outdoor defeat. Outstanding performances were turned in con- sistently by 1955 captain Mickey Anderson, and 1956 captain Jack Spence. Spence won the majority of his events throughout the season and topped it off by winning the high point man award in the conference outdoor meet. Jack captured the 100 and 220 yard dash wins, and also ran anchor man on the victorious 880 yard relay team. Maryville had been expected to show the least strength of any school, but surprised the field as they rolled up a string of wins to take an undisputed third place. Anderson had the distinction of being runnerup to Spence for the high point honors at this same conference meet ot Cape Girardeau. Spence and Anderson were the only double event winners in the two day classic. Mick won the mile and two mile runs, setting a new conference record of 4:26.7 in the mile. This victory means that Anderson now holds all the distance records in the conference. He TENNIS Remarkable performances have been recorded by the college ' s tennis teams in recent years. Against schools who push tennis as a major sport. Coach Dr. Frank Grube has tutored the NWMSC netsters to two consecutive runner-up positions in the Confer- ence. In 1956, Charlie Adair, Dan Evans, Don Pier- point, Bob Smith, and Larry Rowley were top figures on the squad. GOLF Increasing interest has been shown in varsity golf. Some real enthusiasts were added to the team this already held the two mile outdoor and the mile and two mile indoor records. Others who gave outstanding performances dur- ing the season were: Lew Linville and Wayne Jack- son, 440 yard dash; Ric Tilton, 880 yard run; Vic Cromer, hurdles; Dinker Dowden, high jump and broad jump; and Duane Freeman, broad jump and dashes. Several other men earned their varsity letters dur- ing the 1955 season. They are: Larry Bolar, Glee Guess, John Watson, Floyd Worley, John Schultz, Larry Butler, and Fred Maher. Coach Milner ' s thinclads dropped the final dual meet of the year to the State Champion Warrensburg Mules, but victories were chalked up over Nebraska Wesleyan, Peru, Tarkio, Kirksville, St. Benedicts, and Graceland. At the offset of the 1956 season, the team also looked strong, in spite of untimely injuries. Power was supplied by veterans Spence, Tilton, Cromer, and Schultz, with phenomenal assistance from new men Bob James, Bob Pierce, and Jerry McGinnis. year. Unfavorable weather prevailed until late in the season, but impressive performances were turned in by Tom Bishop, Don Seymour, Lowell Reeves, Merle Sorenson, Dick Hargrove, and Kermit Brown. BASEBALL New addition to the major varsity family of Northwest was baseball. Enthusiasm was keen, though warmups were hampered by persistently cool and windy weather. As soon as it was feasible, serious practice moved to Beal Park, Maryville, where gomes were played this season. Plans were complete, how- ever, for a new playing field on the campus by 1957.

The social activities of the year began with a picnic at College Park. This gave the old and new members an opportunity to become acquainted in an informal atmosphere over good food. Included in the year ' s program was a trip to Conception Abbey. There, the Newman Club mem- bers visited the chapels and other buildings, which experience established an educational and spiritual significance for each of them. One of the highlights of the year was the visit of Bishop Cody of the St. Joseph diocese. The Club received communion as a group and had breakfast afterword at St. Palrick ' s Church. Marilyn O ' Connor, who served as co-chairman of the program for Religious Emphasis Week, repre- sented the Newman Club on the Religious Emphasis Committee. The officers of the Club this year were: Marilyn O ' Connor, president; Barbara Kunze, vice-president; Ruth Busby, secretary-treasurer; and Vivian Head, reporter. Miss Ann Gorsuch was the sponsor of the club. Through social activities, through discussion periods, through informative tours, and most especially through prayer, the Newman Club served to spiritually unite all Catholic students. Page 146 S. C.

The Student Christian Association seeks to provide on opportunity for students to unite in the realization of a full and creative life and a growing knowledge of God through worship, study, and action. To this end, a well-rounded program of social and religious activities was prepared and directed by the student officers and the faculty s ponsors. The executive posi- tions this year are filled by Ted Reed as president; Darlene Coleman as vice-president; Edwin Herde, the treasurer; and Wanda Kingsolver, secretary. Dr. Irene Mueller and Dr. Joseph Dreps are the sponsors. The first semester was quite enjoyably opened at the annual S. C. A. outing, with the Gospel Singers from the Midwest Bible College at Stanberry provid- ing the entertainment. The S. C. A. is associated with the National Student YMCA and YWCA. Ted Reed, Darlene Coleman, J. W. Stone, Larry Mars, and Joyce Ely represented the group at the District YM-YW Conference on the Mis- souri Valley College campus at Marshall, Missouri, in November. The traditional Christmas banquet was held this year at the First Baptist Church. The Speaker, Rever- end George Barger from the Christian Church, deliv- ered a very inspirational message. Just before the Christmas holidays, the group went caroling and presented a needy family with a Christ- mas basket. The organization combined forces with those of the Newman Club to sponsor the Religious Emphasis week in February. As has been the custom in the past few years, the S.C.A. sponsored an impressive pre-Easter sunrise service. The year ended with a picnic. This was a way of saying, Goodbye, Seniors, and We had a good year! Page 147 Seafed: Ted Reed, co-c iajrmon; Dr. Irene Mueller, adviser; Ma lyn O ' Connor, co-chairmon; Darlene Coleman. Sfonding. Fred Whitford, Lorry Kenslnger, Joyce Ely. One week of the college year was set aside for emphasis on religion. During this week, students of all faiths worked together for one common goal— the realization and strengthening of their religious faith. The theme of this year ' s program was How May I Have Faith, Hope, and Love? A committee of students, with faculty advisors, worked to arrange the week ' s events. Guest speakers of all denomina- tions were brought to the campus, and the Mory- ville Ministerial Alliance assisted. A reception at the Union Lounge on Sunday eve- ning, with the introduction of the guest speakers, started off the week. Daily assemblies, classroom conferences, individual counciling, and appearances of the speakers at organizational meetings served to carry the theme to each and every student. At the end of the week, each interested person had experienced spiritual growth, and knew how he could have Faith, Hope, and Love.
