In following .this motif, the staff has tried to combine a modernistic style of organization and composition with the idea of informality, and has consequently created an innovation in Teachers College annuals. To extend the field of styling, we have utilized the printing process known as planographing. To complement the plan of organization, we have used a handmade-finish paper stock designed to bring out photographic qualities. To encase the book properly and pleasingly, we have chosen a plastic -bound, leatherette casing. This, then, is your book-fpages designed for you, for your approval and your appreciation. it To you, the staff submits this newest volume in your collection of Teachers College memories--the Ye Pedagogue of 1940. t xx, . THE BOAllll 0F llllUOA'l'l0N In a democracy a board of education represents the people in determining the amount and the quality, of education to be offered in the schools. This is an important and basic function in society. At times service on the board is difficult and arduous. It requires long hours of patient work. It means personal sacrifice of business and recreation time. Sometimes pressure groups attempt to dictate in matters of school support: sometimes parents and teachers are not appreciative: but over a period of years the community as a whole is appreciative and grateful.. During the past year the Kansas City Board of Education has been con- fronted with many difficult problems. It has had the courage to meet them squarely and to solve them in the best interests of the entire community. Teachers. College faculty and students congratulate and commend the Board of Education for its unfailing devotion to duty in the interests of all the people. t MEMBERS LUDWICK ......... ,,,,,,,,.,,,,.

S 6 cretary - Business Manager Tllll PIWTWIIENT The public schools are 'WW the dynamic force behind the progress that has been made in America since its founding. They have stim- ulated the imagination to see the conditions of living that are desirable and pos- sible tor all people. They have helped to develop the individual in accord- ance with his interests, aptitudes andabilities be- cause only in this Way can the general level of the culture ot a people be elevated. They have given lite and meaning to the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit ot happiness. They have preserved Worthy traditions and de- veloped equitable ideals of political, social, and economic justice. They have encouraged partici- pation in religious life and activities. They have de- veloped the philosophy that the state is created by the individuals to serve humanity. But what are the schools? Are they fine buildings With laboratories, libraries and spacious grounds? No, far more than that, they are the combined spirits of the lives oi all the men and Women who have devoted their lives to the teaching profession. It is they who have given meaning to theories and made facts human. They have understood that teaching is the fine art of promoting human relations. They have understood the hopes and aspirations of youth and stimulated their desire for achievement. It is they who have held up ideals and actuated their accomplishment. What a glorious privilege to serve mankind through teaching! J Clllllllll 9 'lllll . , ,. ,.,,h.'. ...eh.-a:,..,,.,.,,..Y.,.-. , if . . 1 V f - M -f' ' ARTHUR W.

They have enjoyed their first try at prac- tice teaching and are ready for moreg To this class belongs that attribute of being able both to work and play well. Their cooperation in the Fall Fiesta and in High School Day has been whole-hearted and complete. They have held their parties in this same spirit, Those grunts and 'groans we heard for several ,days were due to a Horseback Ride at the Military Country Club. They claim that they had fun, but what price fun? This party was followed by another active gathering-a skating party. Christ- mas found the Iuniors together in the social room for another event. Feb- ruary l4th was celebratedwith the usual Valentine Party-but this Valen- tine Party was different from any you've ever attended. lust ask any Iunior about itl A Scavenger hunt followed in which the scavengers hunted far and wide to collect all the articles on the list-and a few that were not. During the year the gavel of authority was used most efficiently by the Iunior President, lean Lane. The most proficient Mary Virginia Stoltz was the able and willing Vice-President in charge of parties and fun. Notebook and pencil were used diligently in the hands of the' secretary, Roxie Gardner. The class moneys were held safely in the strongbox in charge of the Treasurer, George Davis. y F 1- OFFICERS lean I-'Une ------------------------ ..............

They are so viva- cious and full of pep that we upper classmen find it hard to keep our eyes on them. lust think-they will soon acquire the dignity of being called- upper classmen. Let's hope that with this new- dignity they will not lose their ability to have a good time. The Sophies' parties reflect the originality of the members of the class. A Taffy Pull started them on their social activities: there was taffy all over the Bohner's kitchen, but everyone had such a good time that it was fun cleaning up the mess. The Ghosts were out in full swing at Helen 'Rouse's on Hallowe'en Eve. But the party at which the most fun was had--especially by the girls-was that Leap Year party at Darby's. Yes-I believe the girls even went after their dates and the boys admit that it was a new and fascinating arrangement. The Bunco Party at Virginia Richardson's house was tops in Bunco Parties. But these are just a few of the parties held by this energetic class. They had many Pot Lucks, and any holiday that came along was duly cele- brated. Ah--we know the secret of all your fun and success-your wise selection of officers. Betty Lou Richards is an. ideal President. That dif- ferent quality found in your parties is due to your Vice-President, Mary Ann Berry. We know that the class records have been kept well, for Louise Lawson makes a perfect secretary. And last, but not' least, Laverne Ashby, as your treasurer, has added to the success of your class by keeping the money matters straight. THE FRESHMEN These are the Freshmen--yes, those newcomers that entered the Teachers College whirl in September. They did not long remain new- comers, for they were soon talking to those sophisticated upper classmen. Nor did they long remain strangers from each other, for they joined together to help make the Fall Fiesta a grand success. The Freshies joined the social swing with parties which were grand successes. lust ask any of them if they had fun at lane Sincox's or at Iessie Richards' or at Albert Woods' or at Kay Young's, and you will receive only one answer: We never had so much fun at a party before. The Freshman l's will tell you that the highlight of their social career was the party given by that genial host, Mr. Bond. The Freshman ll's claim that their Christmas party in the social room was an A number l success with nearly all present, and exchanging presents. Oh, we must not forget that party at C. A. Brown's-for no social whirl for 1940 would be complete without a Leap Year party. I understand there were some proposals, but T. C. will not lose any budding genius to Dan Cupid-at least not just now. Though they still did not know each other very well when they elected their officers, they could not have chosen better leaders for their initial year. To Leland Bonar, as President, we offer our heartiest congratulations for his excellent leadership. The credit for interesting and unusual parties goes to Bobbie McNeal. No one could have kept those records as well as your Secretary, Iames Hutton: nor could any Treasurer be more accurate -or attractive-than the efficient Lois Biggerstaff.

They began with an outstanding tea for the new students: this year the tea was built around School Daze and was held in the manner of a progressive dinner. As a result of the party and fine club spirit, Kappa Phi pledged fifteen members. The girls were initiated at the home of Ailen Deason, and at the close of the ceremony, each girl received a corsage of violets, the club flower. Kappa Phi entertained the student body at a tea on April 2. The party was given in the social room with Miss loanne Taylor as the guest speaker. She gave the girls of Teachers College some tips on Person- ality in Style. The club outfits chosen by the Kappa Phi's were in the colors of the club, lavender shirts with darker purple scarfs. They added a very colorful note to the halls this year and were becoming to all the girls. Kappa Phi has long been one of the most active club at Teachers College. This year has been no exception, for they have carried on the traditions of past years. f f if - ,'. f : 111717:-G '-- f- -. 1,11 K. . . -Q ..-e- ..--,- --fy. .,Q-,x...1,e-r., .,-- ,, ,-., X ,-.- .., c . . . .mn .,, J ,. 1 P111 LAMBDA b1Li1V.lH.

At a dinner given at the Park Lane Hotel, the new members were initiated and each girl received a small glass candle-holder and candle, a symbol of the spirit of Phi Lambda Sigma. The club tea sponsored by the Phi Sig's was a patriotic affair in honor of Washington's birthday. At a later meeting, Mrs. R. R. Boswell gave a short review of several new books. The club outfits chosen by the Phi Sig's combine the club colors in an attractive and practical costume of white shirts and yellow skirts. Phi Lambda Sigma can boast of many members active in school affairs. ln the clubs basket ball tournament, Phi Sigs were the undefeated champions. There is a cooperation and inspiration in the fellowship of this group, and the high ideals and spirit ofthe club were carried on this year to the credit of the organization. y 127:-:v2,2 .,.A ggrg -- . . ,. - -:Le:gqfvgf'.f .- -.1-fs., Sa.-514' T-L:-.1 ,fx-' . , - 1 .a . f Y :- ' 1 ' -iziebriq-b 1 -1-Aa ?:9f'1f5s'K J f-'65-'?f?k'fi-Zim ft -X 11'i P l?

The pledges were formally initiated on December ll at the Southland Hotel. After an impressive ceremony, the new members were presented with red roses. On November 21, Delta Chi Omega sponsored the first inter-club tea with Miss Abney and Miss Iordalen as the guests of honor. The club members wore their newly-chosen jackets, whose bright red-one of the club colors-makes them most distinctive. ln this, their second year, Delta Chi Omega has proven to be one ot our most active clubs. The students ot Teachers College can look with pride to a group ot girls with the courage to remodel an inactive organi- zation into a club ot spirit and ideals. Our congratulations, Delta Chi. If .

Inspired by the spirit of the Gamma Sigma Gamma, friendship, service, and fraternity, the members then turned to the duties of the year. The annual Fathers' banquet was a distinct success this year with over one hundred guests present. Mr. George Melcher gave a short talk on the finances of the Board of Education, and Mr. Gilbert made an inter- esting speech on the value of a Teachers College to the community. A basket ball team sponsored by Gamma Sigma Gamma participated in a series of outstanding games. Playing against Iunior College, Uni- versity of Kansas City, College of Osteopathy and llOth Engineers, the team made a creditable record. At the end of the season, the Men's Club awarded letters to those members of the team who had played six- teen auarters or more. The interest and activity of the club is reflected in the cooperation of the men's group with the ,Club Committee of the Student Council. Gamma Sigma Gamma plans to close the year with a spring picnic to make complete one of the most 'successful years of the organization. i 1 L: T 7 FllLLOWSlllP CLUB Fourth row: Darby, Bohner, Simmons, I.

Its purpose is to extend the spirit of comradeship and to show the mem- bers the spiritual values of a fuller life. ' The Fellowship Club introduced the new students to their big brothers and big sisters at the beginning of school. Cn Friday, October l3, they defied superstition and entertained the entire student body with a party where the favors were broken mirrors and black cats. The Christmas Tea was sponsored by the club. The program, given by the Glee Club and the Verse Speaking Choir, was beautiful and inspirational. Cn the program for this year have been some of the favorite Teachers College speakers. Fellowship presented Mr. Harry Harlan, director of the Northeast Hi-Y, and Dr. Ralph Iennings of the Van Brunt Presbyterian Church. This club has a special place in the hearts of the students because of its friendly attitude and the beauty of its inspiration. INTERNATIUNAL ltELA'l'l0NS ULUB .

Ruth Bohner The International Relations Club fills a definite need in the college life of Teachers College. Endowed by the Carnegie Fund for International Peace, it maintains a complete library of books on current history, World peace and foreign affairs. ' As a part of their Work, the club sends a delegation of members to the annual conference, held this year at Winfield, Kansas. This year Teachers College could boast the largest number of any college attend- ing. According to past custom, those attending the conference made reports to our student body and also to various groups outside the school. Christine Williams and Virginia Schmidt were on the panel discussions and were cited for creative service. Dr. Guy V. Price, faculty adviser, gives the group opportunity to address the various organizations which are desirous of hearing the dis- cussion points which are developed. In this way our 'club has become well-known throughout the city, and so proves the value of such, an organization to any college. In the regular meetings the members carry out the purpose of Inter- national Peace in panel discussions and reports on current affairs. At various times, outside speakers are brought in not only to address the club, but as assembly speakers. In this way the outlook of the whole student body is broadened. 1 ...gg - NA'l'llllll IlI.llll Fourth row: D. Boutros, Newton, Hagan, Fensler, Farrell, Ionscher. Third row: I.

' One of the first outings of the year was sponsored by the Nature Cl.ub, in their annual school picnic at Swope Park. The featured hike and nature hunt was won by the Seniors. To be worthy of such an honor, it was necessary to recognize various trees, flowers and birds. lt was no simple matter and the more ignorant of us realized how important and interesting it was to know about the wonders of the world. Both faculty and student body joined in the fun and became much better acquainted. Throughout the year the club also sponsors many nature trips to inter- esting and instructive regions. P. E. P.

P. endeavors to promote an interest inathletics and sportsmanship. lt is composed of those girls who have shown that they are outstanding not only- in their sports but in scholarship and leadership. To be eligible for membership, one must have a genuine interest and a desire to participate. The club initiated the new members after a horseback ride and pot- luck supper. The pledges ar' always expected to be able to take more punishment and show more originality than in any other organization. The more inspirational initiation is held a week later when the girls realize the responsible part any P. E. P. member plays in the activities of the school. This year the club took part ot the responsibility ot paying for the new radio. Charging a nickel a person tor an activity hour dance, they con- tributed a sizable amount to the radio fund and yet added to the school spirit and fun. The club introduced the student body to the square dance and many a lunch hour was spent in swinging your partner. The credit for this innovation should be given to the able adviser, Miss Carpenter. Through her cooperation and encouragement, the P. E. P. should aspire to even greater heights. f,.4 , .Xu xl 'f . 4 .' ,-,Ng -x- f -- 1 4, ,ff -...-r f -1. - ,x ,1 . llllllllll.

It is a student proposition, conducted by students and under the direction of Miss Abney. The girls choose one member as the general officer, and this year the responsibility was placed in the hands of Mary Louise VerKoulen. The group is literally a speaking choir, for the members are assigned to sections according to the tonal quality and pitch of their voice. Poems suitable for such choral arrangements are chosen by the group for interpretation. The Weekly meetings are occasionally supplemented by informal sup- pers, and, as a result of such practices, the voices are now blending with a harmonious beauty that adds appreciably to the success of the group. The choir is in great demand all over the city and has given programs at the Atkins Gallery and the University Women's Club, and in several school assemblies.

Dorothy Boutros The Music Club was newly-organized this year in response to the unusual interest by the student body for such a group. The aim of the club is appreciation ot, and participation in all forms of music. The meetings are held monthly and serve two purposes: at some times they are purely business meetings, while at other times there is a pro- gram contributed by the more accomplished members. The meetings are usually luncheons in the social room. True to the traditions that have been held by the college, the Music Club has come to answer the need of those students who have a love of music. , Teachers College is proud of the new club and wishes it the very best ot luck for the years to come. , ,gxr .

They have also made several appearance in assemblies, and have added much to the beauty of our inspirational programs. The Glee Club has been handicapped because of the limited time of rehearsals, but splendid progress has been made in the meetings in the work of balancing and blending voices. l ,,, V- , g 1, .

A dviser The -Student Council for this year has ably fulfilled their responsibilities to the student body by initiating several ideas and plans of action as well as by carrying on the regular administrative duties of the Council.- The various committees of the Student Council have opened a new field of work this year. The Club's Committee sponsored a very successful St. Pat's party. The Association's Committee arranged a schedule that aided in the activities of the Associations. The Ways and Means Colm- mittee was responsible for the purchase of the radio and for the repairs in the social room.. The Social Committee planned the Mid-Year Prom. The Citizenship Committee posted the rules of the social room and kept it in order. i Under this 'Student Council a new activity schedule was worked out in regard to major and minor offices. This new arrangement reduces the number of offices and increases the importance of those remaining. This year has been a momentous one for Teachers College and we have had able and ambitious officers to lead us in our activities. The members of the Council are to be complimented on the rnasterly way in which they have conducted the business of the student body.

Keith, VerKoulen, Mr. Gilbert, Farrell Supplementing its already wide range of subjects, the Teachers College Scout Magazine for this year added its voice to the much discussed topics of the Social Sciences with its issue of the Social Resources of Kansas City. This issue has joined the list of those formerly published magazines that are used by interested persons throughout the city- groups that find information provided for them on such subjects as: indi- vidual differences, character and health education, aviation, nature inter- ests, World fellowship, and civic art. Three of the most popular and prac- tical magazines are: Gardening, an excellent handbook of when, Where, what and how to plan and plant grounds attractively Cwith a spe- cial thought for the vegetarian enthusiastl: the Speech Manual, a book for the classroom teacher, or for the parent who desires to prevent or to correct any of the common speech defects, or to improve diction or the tonal quality of the voice: the Nelson Gallery of Art Bulletin, a detailed handbook for the art student who wishes to increase his knowledge of the many paintings and other art objects to be found in our Gallery. In the pages of the Scout Magazines from 1929 to 1940, is to be found a Well-supplied library of informative and useful material, as well as many examples of creative Writing of talented students. The only Teachers College publication that is partially or wholly self-suporting, the Scout Magazine must confine itself to topics of contemporary interest, for only by dealing with such topics can the magazine continue to be successful. if f THE mums comma scour 'Qu V ' H H 'f A ' '--- '-'-'--N h - - A -'ff- A W ff-' 1---- V -ew----N---M..,-.--M ..... .... ., , .,.. .,...,.- ......,..

Gilbert Since the first issue of The Scout in 1925 under the advisership of Miss Stella Pierson, it has grown from a mimeographed sheet to a full size bi-weekly. The staff elected by the student body, and the members of the newswriting class collect and write the news, and edit the paper. English 4 is an elective open to all students. As a result the newswriting group is composed of students from all classes. Besides covering the news, The Scout influences students' ideals and stimulates interest in such, enterprises as the Fall Fiesta, High School Day, and the Mid-Year Prom. During the past year The Scout has undergone changes in policy. form. New titles for some of the columns have been introduced, and features have been added, and Frannie Freshman has become a per- manent character. The staffs of each semester have attempted to present an accurate picture of student life and to maintain the high standards set by their predecessors. Miss Clouser, staff adviser, has done a wonderful job of developing newswriters. y 5 3 1 sl E E B 5 5 u s I I. ,A ln 1 4 51 P, f n 1 1 1 A A K E 4 I a f 1 P - w I ! I E L 5 I r S L P f E STIMULATING EXERCISE Pep up that sluggish blood stream, ordered my physician. Get in a gym class, do some stimulating exercises. Now as a rule I dOn't.ask much of my blood in the way of speed. As long as it moves fast enough to keep out of the way of food particles, I'm perfectly happy. ,But regardless of my own opinion, I followed the pro- fessional advice and enrolled in a Teachers College gym class. , Arrayed in my newly purchased gym clothes, I sauntered out onto the gymnasium floor for my initial work out. Groups of aspiring athletes were dashing up and down the floor trying to throw a round, leather sphere through a small, iron hoop. It looked rather silly to me, but keep- ing 'in mind my under-developed blood cells, I joined in the scramble. All too late I realized my mistake. A stomp on myioot, a whack on my back, and an elbow under my chin, graced my entrance into the game. Dazed and breathless, I staggered weakly to the side line. The players rushed on abated. lt was only the sharp trill of the coach's whistle that aroused me. The floor had been cleared of 'players and the class was lining up to do some new activity. My conscience prodded me into line. This stunt, the coach was saying, is simple. Run forward at full speed, spring into the air, and do a flip, landing on your feet. The class nodded its understanding. When my turn came to perform, I faced the mat a little iauntily. My erstwhile courage restored by a short rest, I felt equal to the task at hand. I took a short run forward, sprang into the air, -and then the tragedy occurred. Although I dwelt on the subject as carefuly as time permitted. l couldn't, for the life of me, recall just how the coach had told us to get down... I And so, dear classmates, if you must talk with me hereafter, don't mention gym classes or blood streams. For as sure as you do, a black scowl and a sudden whack with some blunt instrument will be your reward. I am definitely through with stimulating exercise. Your embryonic professor, L. G.

Encouraged and guided by Miss Car- penter, our gym instructor, and Miss lones, our swimming coach, each girl was given an oppor- tunity to participate in a well-balanced athletic program. Excitement' reigned as the basket ball season was officially ushered in by the inter-society games. In the opening contest, the Kappa Phi Alpha players turned back a fighting Delta Chi Omega aggrega- tion to the tune of 27 to 23. The second game of the tournament produced its share of thrills as the Phi Lambda Sigma sextet downed the Delta Chi Omega assemblage by the score of 23-10. Turning on all their reserve power, the Phi Lambda Sigma sharpshooters won the inter-society championship as they swamped the Kappa Phi Alphas under an avalanche of field goals, 52-10. Volley ball, aerial darts, folk dancing, and acro- batics had equally important places on the varied sports program. The success of this year's gym and swimming classes shows the rapid strides that have been made under the excellent supervision provided in these departments.

Under the direction of Mr. Shirling, Bernita Keith and Lillian Lukenbillf the eager explorers started upon their ad- venture. After the divisions returned and the booty was carefully examined, each group presented a skit. The Senior class seerned to have mastered the gentle art of acting so well that they were victorious and received the grand award-a box of candy!

With such a world-wide motive, the various divisions were allowed free reign to their vivid imaginations in their original skits representing Mexico, Egypt, Scotland, France, Hawaii, and India. The Senior Play, Paging Miss Broadway, was American in its theme and had its setting in a small college town. 1 The place of the Pause that Re- freshes -the Novelty Stand-attracted much attention from the capacity crowds who purchased souvenirs, pop corn, candy and pop.

Objective health and academic ex- aminations are given on admission, and suc- cessful candidates are offered an educational program which has been found to meet the fundamental needs of citizens and prospective teachers. Numerous student activities enable students to realize their own possibilities. The four year program of the college is arranged to offer a broad general education. Professional studies offered during the last two years lead to the B.S. Degree in Education. In addition to Education, a student may major in English, Science, or Social Studies and minor in Fine Arts and Psychology. Candidates may specialize to teach in the kindergarten and lower grades, or the upper elementary grades. THEORY AND PRACTICE PROFESSIONAL COURSES The curriculum of the college is designed to present the relationships of the arts and sciences to the teaching profession. Aspects of child growth and development, technics of teaching, and the social structure of which the school is a part are emphasized with the aid of demonstration classes, visual aids, field trips, and a specialized library. As a municipal institution Teachers College has unusual opportunities to offer a program which allows for a constructive interplay of theory and practice. Students have oppor- tunity to do practice teaching in a large nurn- ber of the city schools, to observe many of the best teachers, and to share in the supervision and cooperative activities of the city board of education. ' Q GROWTH The college keeps abreast with professional developments through extension courses, many of which are given with the cooperation of nearby universities, through alumni activities, and through publications of the faculty and student body.
