NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE TEACHERS’ COLLEGE PRESENTS The 1947 TUWER EDITOR . .. MANLEY THOMSON BUS. MGR. .. HARVEY LUND The Long Walk A walk of seemingly infinite length Stretching across the campus to the center of college life— Early each morning I hurry up the walk, Racing with the clock before it strikes eight. In the fall, the trees along the walk are bleak and dram atic, While smoke floats lazily, circling the tree-tops, In winter snow falls like a blessing, Whirling down, wrapping the trees in blankets of white, Bending boughs to make new tree shapes—all its own. The scene changes with the next snow, Giving me a vision of veiled figures, As if a great lace-maker had been at work, Fringing the boughs in delicate, fragile white. Then at dusk, the wind blows, more snow falls; Gray clouds hang heavy, snow falls softly, Whitening the gray skies; silenily and gracefully, Its feathery cool touch lingers on my face, caressing it. Truly this exquisite beauty will linger long In the recesses of my mind, And in years to come, I shall remember the Long Walk, Its grandeur a large part of winter's panorama. —Lavon Hepburn. yy BIS. 8 RATE 1947 C. . Jo Om President DR. JOHN WILLIAM JONES Dedication We find in our education of today the basis for our thoughts and actions in the world of tomorrow. We deem ourselves fortunate in having had as president of our college the past year a man with the clear vision to foresee the future, a deep understanding to interpret the present, and an extensive knowledge with which to utilize the wealth of the past. Advocating an educational environment that would make of us educated citizens and capable leaders, our president has helped us recognize the need of an educational system which progresses as rapidly as the material culture around it. He has made us realize that as educated people we shall become vital mem- bers of our respective communities. Because of his many contributions to the growth of the institution and of the individual during his first year as president, and before that as dean, we, the TOWER staff, dedicate the 1947 TOWER to Dr. John William Jones, president of the Northwest Missouri State Teachers College. In years to come we shall re- member him as a leader, a scholar, a gentleman, and a friend. — CONTENTS PERSONNEL FEATURES ATHLETICS URGANIZATIUNS Through the Year... PEROUNNEL Every generation stands on the shoulders of the former one. That is the only way for progress. The traditions, the deeds, the gains of yesterday are our foundations for today. He is foolish and short sighted who does not build on them. It is true as to a College—of which students are the vital part. They profit by what former students have done, by the lives they have lived, by the record they have made. The TOWER tells of that. Just as we look back through earlier TOWERS to read the more intimate life of the student body, then so will this TOWER be read to see how you have lived and worked. It's a fine record! Those of us who have watched and helped you write it, wish you Good Luck and God Speed—always. —Uel W. Lamkin. Dean of the Faculty M. 0. Cunningham The nerve center of the college is the office of Dr. M. C. Cunningham, Dean of Faculty. Since assuming this position one year ago, Dr. Cunningham has acquired the confidence of both faculty and students. He has impressed us with his ability to give immediate but thorough and efficient advice on those occasions when competent council is needed, and also with his determination to guide us into making our own de- ee wr a ce Page 8 cisions. He endeavors to assist the students in intelligently furthering their own interests, their interests in the college and in their community. His close association with the stu- dents is evidenced by the fact that in nearly every case he calls the students by their first names. At the present time he is Secretary of the Missouri Association of School Administrators and a member of the Policy and Plans Commission of the Missouri Teachers Association. Be- fore coming to the college, Dean Cunningham served in the State De- partment of Education. The ready smile and cheery word of a man who combines the vigor of youth and the experience of a mature educator has placed him among those people of our highest esteem. Left to Right: Mr. R. L. Douglas, St. Joseph, Mo.; Mr. Allen Wherrit, Liberty, Mo.; Mr. J. V. Gaddy, St. Joseph, Mo.; Mr. E. C. Curf- man, Maryville, Mo.; Dr. J. W. Jones, President; Mr. W. A. Rickenbrode, Bursar; Mr. H. V. Neece, Business Man- ager; Mr. Roy Scantlin, Ex- officio member, Jefferson City, Mo. Not Shown; Mr. James Curry, Oregon, Mo. Beard of Regents In any efficient organization there must be a cer- tain group of people whose advice and judgment makes that efficiency possible. Even though its service is of vital importance, it usually is not as well known in the organization as those people who put its decisions into effect. The Board of Regents plays an important role in the college’s smooth functioning. It works with the president and applies supervision through him, The members are appoint- ed by the governor of the state and are selected from the nineteen counties in the northwest district. Although they are not familiar to many of us, their supervision and services are felt and appreciated by all. Personnel Directors On the campus for only two years, Miss Martha Locke has rapidly become one of the most important and appre- ciated members of the college administration. Combining a knowledge of what society expects with an apprecia- tion of what college people want to do, Miss Locke has contributed a great deal toward the development of an extensive social program. Dean of Women As Dean of Women, she has been available for personal consultation, a service which provides immeasurable aid for girls confused by the intricacies of college life. Her help in the development of personal resources and stress- ing co-operation with others, has brought her a lasting place in the hearts of many college women and men. Dean of Men The work of the Dean of Women is supported by the office of Dean of Men under the direction of Mr. Lon Wil- son. Mr. Wilson combines the duties of this office with his work as superintendent of buildings and grounds, all which gives him many contacts with men students. Page 9 Page 10 Ad ° Ad Ly, Officers The people who add greatly to the efficiency and smooth functioning of this institution are the adminis- trative officers. Their job is to carry on all the college business other than that which is carried on by the faculty. Their services vary from aid in finding a book to supervising the conversion of boilers from coal to oil in a week. They are the people who receive and rectify our thousands of minor complaints about the material functioning of the college. The volume of work which is carried on by this group is not realized by many of us. Much of their work is done so efficiently that it attracts no attention although every student is benefited by it. We voice our thanks for their co-operation and assistance. ADMINISTRATION: EVERETT BROWN, Director of Field Service. LUCILE BRUMBAUGH, Acting Librarian. BERT COOPER, Director Extension Department.

The faculty is the nucleus around which this institution is built. It should be recognized that we have more reason to boast about our faculty than any other part of the college. It is through their teachings and their interpretations of other great teachings and writings that we progress in our personal education. We must appreciate the fact that our faculty offers much more personal counsel than schools with larger classes. We find them quite willing to work with us individually not only on problems which pertain to their classes but even problems of a foreign nature. Our faculty members spend many long and tiring hours assisting students outside the classroom. The faculty members of this college are specialists in their particular field of study. They are competent educators. We recognize and appreciate the privilege of having received inspiration and guidance from this distinguished group of people. e GLADYS BOOKMAN, English B.

Page 12 HAorace Mann Before going out into the educational world, the stu- dent teacher has an opportunity to practice the theor- fes which he has learned in an actual classroom situa- tion at the Horace Mann Laboratory School. There he is under the observation and guidance of competent supervisors, At the beginning of the term the supervisor helps the student teacher to develop general plans. Through- out the quarter the supervisor offers advice and assist- ance. After two quarters of experience, the student teacher has a finer appreciation of what is expected in his profession, and he will long remember the able assistance of the ever helpful supervisor.

They came from various coun- tries and gave their own special contribution to our college life. Flora Flores of Puntarenas, Costa Rica, has been with us for some time, and was to receive her de- gree this year. She has a Spanish-English major, is in Who’s Who, is a member of International Re- lations Club, F. T. A., W. A. A., and Sigma Sigma Sigma. She came from the University of Costa Rica. Because of the illness of her mother, Miss Flores was forced to return to Costa Rica soon after Christmas vacation. Odd Steinsholt comes to us from Hebrum, Norway. He has a English major, a Geography minor, is in Who's Whe, is a member of the Phi Sigs and Inter- national Relations Club. We have four students from Veraguas, Panama.

Anais has a social science major; Leticia has a chemistry major and a biology minor; Thelma has a psychology major and a home economics minor; Victoria has a mathematics major. All four of the girls have attended the Normal School at Veraguas. Page 40 We have two sophomores among our special stu- dents. They are Arminda Zelaya and Alicia Casa- novas, both of LePax, Bolivia. Armida is an ele- mentary education major and is a member of the Newman Club and A. C.E. Alicia has a commerce major and is an English minor. She is a member of the International Relations Club, F. T. A. and the t he Newman Club. Manuel Thomas Gadea comes from Lima, Peru, and was a graduate of the British College there. He is studying pre-engineering.

FEATURES Tower Queen MISS MARY GARRETT Margaret Fisher, Mary Pat Brazell, Mary Garrett, Joyce Heck, Martha Lewis. Tower Queen and Attendants Drums rolled softly, then broke into a booming cre- scendo. Along a carpeted path moved the TOWER Queen of 1946, Meredee Myers. A huge book, with an exact representation of your TOWER cover, stood at the far end. As the crescendo reached its peak, Miss Myers threw back the cover and Mary Garrett, your 1947 TOWER Queen, burst forth. As the deafening applause subsided, her attendants, Margaret Fisher, Joyce Heck, Mary Pat Brazzell, and Martha Lewis, stepped through to follow the Queen to her throne. Manley Thomson, editor of the TOWER, officially pronounced Miss Garrett TOWER Queen of 1947 by placing upon her head a crown which was carried in by little Chris Cun- ningham and presenting her with an arm bouquet which was carried iin by little Karen Ringold. Each of the girls was presented with a dainty identifica- Hon bracelet engraved with her name and “TOWER 947, The coronation was the highlight of one of the most successful TOWER Dances held at this col- lege. A beautifully decorated room for dancing, in- cluding a false ceiling and moon, a grass-covered bandstand, and a splendid throne of black and white, was an object of much attention to those attending. A gayly decorated lounging room was adjacent to the ballroom for those who wished to sit a dance out. Comfortable chairs and sofas and a number of tables lent atmosphere to the room. Refreshments were also served in this room. The entrance to the dance was made to appear exclusive by having the guests go through a nar- row opening in the false cloth wall that was around the floor. The reception line was just inside the entrance. The dance programs carried out the theme so well represented by the book through which the Queen made her entrance. They were slightly larger than normal, and were green and white. The effect of a book was heightened by the green trim on the outside. Queen Mary and her attendants occupied their seats of honor on the throne as entertainment was provided by members of the student body and guests. Mark Christine, Jack Russell, Sue Philp, Claire Wallace, and Judy Jennings of the college, and guests Betty Bakyr and Martha and Sue Cly- mens supplied excellent talent for the program. Zea Grissinger drew gales of laughter for his stories and was a most able master of ceremonies. The concluding phase of the combined coronation- entertainment program was dedication of this year's TOWER. Robert Davis, president of the Stu- dent Senate, made the dedication to President J. W. Jones who expressed his appreciation of the honor. Page 45 Football Queen Miss Joyce Heck, Wilma Proctor, Geraldine Gebert, Delores Keown, Janet Drennan.

STATE TEACHERS’ COLLEG Veterans Housing Unit walks are to be added, better drainage facilities constructed, irees planted, playgrounds planned for children, one-way driving to be enforced, and park- ing of cars to be arranged. The school year of 1946-47 brought about many changes and new additions on the campus, among them the Veterans’ Housing Unit. It is located at the rear of the College Administration Building and consists of twenty-four single bedroom units housed in buildings of pre-fabricated siding, four apart- ments to a building; and twenty double bedroom units housed in buildings of metal siding. The units are accessible by vehicle and served by sidewalks. The single bedroom units, furnished throughout, contain a living room, kitchen and dinette, bedroom, bathroom, and utility closet. The living and bed- room each contain a clothes closet. In the double bedroom units we find a slightly larger living room but a slightly smaller kitchen, two bedrooms with closets, and a bathroom. Clothes lines are found behind the apartments, all rooms have large nine-pane windows with storm windows, each apartment has a small porch and a cement walk to the main walk. Grass has already been sowed in the area, flow- ers are to be planted along walks, more cement The area is under the management of Mr. Neece and Mr. Wilson. Roger Wren has been elected mayor and Arch Beach, Emerson Matthews, and Raymond Nally aldermen. Enforcement of rules has been left in their hands to a great extent. Mrs. Roger Wren is the project nurse. Miss Marjorie Elliott and Dr. June Cozine of the Home Economics department have graciously of- fered to conduct classe s for the wives in canning, foods, child care, and family relations. Miss Martha Locke has called the wives together for meetings to discuss problems that have arisen in the village and plans for beautification and re- creation. The members of the village were entertained by President and Mrs. Jones at an informal reception at their home, April 8th, and enjoyed a pot luck supper the night of April 17th. Page 51 Christmas Bel Despite snow flurries, chilling winds, and slippery streets, many couples braved the extreme weather to at- tend the annual Christmas Ball, which was held on Sat- urday night, December 14, in the gymnasium. To begin the dance, the Grand March was led by Mr. Robert Davis and Mrs. Davis, followed by other members of the receiving line and the guests. During intermission, several special numbers which de- lighted the audience were presented with Zea Grissinger acting as master of ceremonies. After the program, Mr. Grissinger drew several numbers from a box to determine the winners of the gaily wrapped packages, which Santa Claus had previously placed under the large Christmas tree which stood in the center of the gymnasium, proudly showing its shining array of tinsel, lights, and other dec- orations. Those fortunate enough to have the numbers that were called on their dance programs, beamed like little children upon finding what their packages contained. As couples glided across the smooth floor to the rhythmical beats of Don Synder’s band, they could see many other gay decorations. Large angels made of heavy colored paper covered with silver and gold, were hanging over the baskets, in the right position to watch over all present. If couples tilted their heads just enough as they swirled under dimmed lights, a large sprig of mistletoe could be seen hanging from each end of the gymnasium. Determined men tried to glide under them in eager anticipation. The benches along the walls of the gymnasium provided opportunity for those with tired and aching feet to take a few minutes out for conversation and enjoyment of the music, which varied during the evening from slow to fast, soft to loud, and waltz to tango. Refreshments were served from a long serving table in one corner of the gymnasium. Pictures were taken of interesting scenes at the most opportune moments during the evening. All arrangements were made by members of the social committee; the chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Har- old Neece, Mr. and Mrs. Lon Wilson, and Mr. and Mrs. Myron Rose. Each year the Hanging of the Greens, bringing with it the spirit of the Christmas season, begins the Yuletide festivities on the campus. It is held in Residence Hall on a Sunday afternoon before Christ- mas vacation and is followed by a formal tea and open house. All girls in the Hall take part in some way. One girl, who is chosen to be the Reader, tells the story of Christmas customs of long ago, while the Dancers portray the merriment and gaiety of the people of Pagan times in preparing their homes for the sea- son. They are followed by a chorus of girls who sing Christmas carols while the Spirit of Christmas lights the candles on the mantle and kindles the Yule log to show the Christ Child that this is His house. Greens are placed on the mantle by the Greenbearers and the Queen of Misrule completes the decorating of the Hall by hanging the mistletoe in a conspicuous place. Following the program the rooms in the Hall are open to visitors and in each suite are evidences of the season—in some are Christmas trees, in others are candles at the windows, and everywhere are greens and mistletoe. Guests are later taken back downstairs for tea. Because of the delay in registration for the winter quarter this year, the Hanging of the Greens was post- poned, but so many students and town people asked that it be given that the girls of Residence Hall de- cided the traditional program could be presented with co-operation and hard work. It was given three days later and as always, the guests proclaimed it more impressive and beautiful than ever before. The Residence Hall girls were aided by members of the Dance Club and Music Department, who helped make the ceremony one which brought to each guest the feeling that Christmas was still the season of good-will and love.

The building, erect- ed in 1938, was named after our country’s great educator, Horace Mann. Pre-school, elementary grades, intermedi- ate grades, junior high school, and the four high school grades offer opportunities to col- lege students for student teaching. Each department is under supervision of an experienced person who is also adviser to college students interested in that depart- ment. Room teachers for each grade and high school class supervise the methods of teaching and offer advice to student teach- ers. Miss Chloe Millikan is supervisor of the pre-school and elementary grades. Room teachers in this department are Miss Frances Phares, Miss Hannah Lou Bennett, Miss Katherine McKee, Mrs. Pauline Bass, and Miss Neva Ross. The supervisor of interme- diate grades and junior high is Miss Mary Keith. Room teachers in the intermediate grades are Mrs. Emma Devore, Mrs. Avis Graham, and Miss Ann Gorsuch. In the high school, Mr. Herbert Dieterich is principal. Instructors in charge of the de- partments are Miss Rachel Taul, Social Science; Miss Margaret Frankin, Mathemat- ics and Science; Miss Marjorie Elliott, Home Economics; Mrs. Rowena Wilson, English; Mrs. Emma Ruth Christine, English; Miss Carrie Hopkins, Fine Arts; Mr. David Crozier, Industrial Arts. Other departments are un- der the direction of these departments in the college. In the Horace Mann school student teach- ers gain actual classroom experience in preparation for their chosen vocation. The Laboratory school sets up a teaching situa- tion such as it should be in order that men and women entering the teaching field may work toward such a goal.

Foothall Returning veterans, bolstered by a sprinkling of freshmen, formed the nucleus of Coach Ryland Mil- ner's first postwar football squad. Lettermen, led by 1942 all-conference end, Stanley Totoraitis, re- ported to Coach Milner in September. In addition to Totoraitis, lettermen Paul Wilson, Tony Rizzo, Rex Adams, Erroll] Myers, Paul Gates, John Lanham, Howard Glavin, Bruce Peters, Vernon Weidmaier, Harold Johnson, Ned Bishop, Loren Guiter, and Rob- ert Fick, were back in football harness. Don Peterson, new member of the physical edu- cation department, and Dr. John Harr, head of the social science department at the school, were Coach Milner’s aids. The large turnout made the task of forming a team for the opening game against Rockhurst College a difficult one, but a week's postponement because of a heavy rain gave the Bearcats additional time to prepare. On October 4 the Rockhurst College Hawks in- vaded Maryvile and went home on the short end of a 14-7 score after giving the Bearcats and a record opening game crowd some last quarter scares. The Bearcats scored on Totoraitis’ 75-yard tun after grabbing a blocked pass, and on halfback Charles Scruby’s six-yard run after Totoraitis had blocked a kick on the Hawks 25-yard line. Goal Page 60 line stands featured the firm defense that the Bear- cats displayed. Lanham, Johnson, Weidmaier, Gui- ter, Totoraitis, and Maurice Geist, freshman war veteran at center, were outstanding up front, while Paul Butherus, fullback war veteran, acting captain Paul Wilson, who made good on both exira points, Rex Adams, and freshman Ken Leninger performed well in the backfield. The next game pitted the Bearcats against the perennially strong Springfield Bears. “Chuck’’ Scruby scored early in the third quarter and a rug- ged defense plus some hard running by Paul Gates and Bruce Peters behind effective blocking kept the ball in Springfield territory most of the game and gave the Green and White a well-earned 7-0 homecoming victory. The first game away from home found the Bear- cats playing the strong Rolla Miners, who proved just that, by decisively winning 25-0. Defensive lapses gave Rolla opportunities to score all of their touchdowns, and weak running and blocking forced Maryville to kick from deep in their own territory. Bouncing back from the Rolla tilt, Milner's men soundly trounced the William Jewell Cardinals at the home field.

Fullback Marvin Weed ably supported the sensational run- ning of Pemberton on this victorious night. The Bearcats left the home field again for the long journey to face the powerful and undefeated Cape Girardeau Indians. A downpour of rain turned the turf into a sea of mud to the dismay of a homecoming crowd and the Cape gridmen. A fighting Bearcat squal checked the touchdown- minded Indians for 58 minutes before yielding to the hard driving of Indian back “Chick” Halbert. The score of 7-0 was testimony of the fierce play. Spectacular punting by end John Lanham high- lighted the Bearcat defense. Kicking eleven times under extremely trying conditions Lanham never muffed a kick. Returning home again to meet the rapidly im- proving Kirksville Bulldogs, the Bearcats discovered that rumors were true and went down to defeat, 12-6. The ‘Cats scored first on a nine-yard plunge by Paul Gates, but Kirksville tied the score and won on a pass scoring play in the last quarter. With the danger of dropping under the .500 mark for the first time in his career, Coach Milner primed his squad for the last game of the season, against the Warrensburg Mules at Warrensburg. The Bear- cats won, 15-6, scoring in the first quarter on John Lanham's touchdown and Paul Wilson's conversion and in the third quarter on Marvin Weed’s score and on a safety. The defensive play of Weed and Bill Gamble, center, was largely responsible for the loss from running plays that befell the Mules. The victory dropped Warrensburg in the league cellar and gave the Bearcats fourth place, just above Springfield. The season record of four victories and three de- feats is not impressive, yet the season was success- ful. With coaches all over the nation experiencing difficulties in their attempts to mold a winning team from a squad largely composed of men just recently returned from service, Coach Milner ably managed to bring football back into the heart and mind of each of his men. With the background firmly established, the coming year should, prove much more successful. The selection of Stanley Totoraitis at end on the all-conference team was almost unanimous. The veteran Bearcat wingman missed just one vote. End John Lanham and back Pau! Gates made the second team. Honorable mention went to Vernon Weidmaier, Harold Johnson, Errol Myers, and “Tony” Rizzo.

In- juries and rapid advancement made by some of the players changed considerably the opening line- ups. Fullback Paul Butherus, center “Bill’” Gamble, guard “Tony” Rizzo, wingback “Rex” Adams, tail- back Charles Seruby, quarterbacks “Ned” Bishop and “Ken” Lining er, and end Howard Glavin are but a few of the men who saw considerable action but are not in the picture above. Tribute to the Bearcat line was amply expressed by their splendid defensive stand against high scor- ing Cape Girardeau. Supporting this are statistics which show that only three touchdowns were made through the line. Six others were made by piercing the Bearcat secondary with passes, or on intercept- ed passes. Sparking the forward wall were ends Stanley Totoraitis and John Lanham. As flankmen they were tesponsible for all plays run outside of tackle. Proof that they handled their assignments is borne out by their selection as all-conference ends. To- toraitis used his amazingly powerful arms to ward off blockers. He received first team all-conference honors. The honor was a repeat for the fighting Bearcats, since he also received similar distinction in 1942. Lanham was lighter, but faster and rangier. Page 62 He was named to the second all-conference team. His booming punts more than once pulled the ‘Cats out of a hole. Vernon Weidmaier and Harold Johnson handled the tackle posts. Both scaled over two hundred pounds and were hard charging linemen. Errol Myers and Loren Guiter shown above and “Tony” Rizzo lent their experience and spirit to provide stern competition for all opponents. Injuries hin- dered them most of the year. “Maury’ Geist and “Bill'’ Gamble did a splendid job of centering and line blocking. In the backgield, Paul Gates, Marvin Weed, Charles Scruby, Bruce Peters, “Rex’’ Adams, Paul Butherus, Paul Wilson, ‘Ned’ Bishop and “Ken” Lin- inger saw a great deal of action. Gates received second team all-conference honors for his defensive play and general backfield chores. “Gene’’ Pem- berton displayed flashes of speed from his wing- back position and was a threat every time he car- ried the ball. With the security of prewar years as to person- nel, Coach Milner is looking for a successful 1947 season. Loss of a few from this year’s squad, the return of several potentially good players, and a strong freshman crop all point to a successful year. pK I946:47 M.S.T C. .| BASKETBALL TEAM Starting slowly but gaining momentum during the last half of the schedule, Coach Ryland Milner's 1946-47 Bearcat basketball squad ended a success- ful season by finishing third in final league stand- ings. The team won nine of the sixteen games it played. Three games before the Christmas holidays fur- nished the ‘Cats with some warmup practice for the tough competition ahead. St. Benedicts’ Ravens defeated the Bearcats in the season's opener, 37-30, in a ragged game. “Gene” Cross and Paul Buth- erus led the Maryville attack. A 52-38 victory over York and a 51-44 upset triumph over Emporia was then registered by the Teachers, as “Vince” Meyer and Howard Glavin tossed in points to aid high scoring “Gene” Cross. After the holidays the Bearcats hit a losing streak, dropping four games. The first was a dis- heartening 43-30 loss to St. Benedicts. Maryville had a 25-12 halftime lead, but lost out in the clos- ing minutes of the game. “Vince” Meyer and “Gene” Cross led the scoring. George “Cotton” Andrews and “Sam” Ingels played a fine floor game for the Bearcats. Rockhurst took the measure of the ‘Cats in a tilt at Kansas City, 48-32, and the towering quintets from Springfield and Kirksville defeated the Bearcats in the conference openers. Springfield smothered Maryville 57-34, and Kirks- ville’s smooth, well-balanced squad sent the Bear- cats home on the short end of a 56-37 score. The increasingly fine defensive play of Captain An- drews highlighted an otherwise disastrous two weeks, Recovering from their setbacks, the hustling squad upset Cape Girardeau 44-34, jostled Rolla 45-41, and then left home for return engagements against these teams. They continued their winning ways with two hard earned victories on the road, a 47-43 conquest at Rolla, and an action packed 51-49 win over Cape. Tied with Springfield for sec- ond place, the Bearcats returned home to make their bid for top conference honors. They defeated Warrensburg in a thrilling game 43-39, but again fell victims to the powerful Kirksville Bulldogs 51-37. The five consecutive victories were sparked by “Gene” Cross, “Vince’’ Meyer, George Andrews, “Pete” Younger, and “Don” Scott. “Sam” Ingels, Paul Butherus, and Howard Glavin provided inval- uable assistance to the starting five. The defeat by Page 65 Kirksville dropped the “Cats” into third place, be- hind the Bulldogs and Springfield Bears. The next game pitted the green and white against Rockhurst in a return engagement. Cross made 25 points as an aroused squad avenged an earlier loss. The final score was Maryville 40 and Rockhurst 33. Two road games completed the season for the Teachers. Warrensburg was again defeated 37-33 in a game that gave the Bearcats third place and an opportunity for a second place tie with Spring- field. On the following night the Bearcats, playing without “Gene” Cross, who was ill, met the Bears. The outcome was never in doubt and Springfield walked away with a 55-27 victory, to give them un- disputed possession of second place. The Bearcats made a total of 645 points in 16 games. Cross led this scoring with 167 markers, followed by ‘Vince’ Meyer with 130. Meyer was the only member of the squad to score in every game.

Measured in terms of games won and lost the record is not overly impressive, but the improvement shown from game to game was fitting testimony to their cage playing ability. The Bearcats were a balanced ball club. Pos- sessing little height, they relied on ball handling, speed, and hustle. Such tactics made close, excit- ing ball games. Against such strong quintets as Kirksville and Springfield, they were powerless but in competition with closely matched teams they emerged victorious. “Gene” Cross and Vincent Meyer, guards, re- ceived second team All-Conference honors. Cross led the Bearcat scores with 167 points in sixteen games. Meyer was a hustling rebounder and a great driving force. These two were consistent threats because they were also fine defensive play- ers, and usually began the Bearcat plays from their guard positions. Captain George Andrews, center, was an expe- rienced, cool basketball! floorman. Andrews was admired for his brilliant defensive pla y. At the forward posts for the Bearcats were Donald Scott, Pete’ Younger, and Paul Butherus, who saw equal duty at the two positions, Scott was a dead- ly set shot player, a fine guard, and spirited work- man. Younger used his tremendous leg drive to control rebounds. He was fast and dangerous on one-handed push shots. Butherus, a hustling ball hawk, was agile enough to guard the fastest man on the court. He scored consistently, adding a few points to the Bearcat score in almost every game. Substitutes who saw a great deal of action were veteran player Paul Wilson, freshman “Sam” Ingels, and dependable Howard Glavin. “Gene” French, Norbert Meyer, and John Wohlford also saw service under the hoop. Page 67 Perhaps no better compliment could be paid a group than that paid by the ROLLA MINER, news- paper of the Rolla School of Mines. The paper stated: “One of the best examples of good sports- manship was displayed at Maryville last Friday night (January 31, 1947), when the Bearcats rolled over the Miners 45-41. The crowd cheered the Miners as much as their home team, applauded free throws, and clapped when the Miners came out on gee % a ms he “= %y mh the floor.’ This remark was a sincere expression of appreciation for the sportsmanship displayed by the Maryville cheerleaders, the pep squad, the stu- dent body and faculty. This year our spirit was brought forth by five capable cheerleaders, whose efforts directed our enthusiasm to best heighten the morals of our teams.

Such ac- tivity provides release from the mental strain of college life and the relaxation for the body which stays in much the same position throughout a day of study and classes. Through such participation, Page 70 skills are acquired which enable one to enjoy par- ticipation much more. The present problem of the use of leasure time among our youth would not be present if more of our young people had been taught the skills which enable them to take part in and enjoy our American sports. The Women's Physical Education department of our college not only offers classes in all types of activities and sports but sponsors organizations and extra-curricular activities for further development and enjoyment of the fundamentals learned in these classes. The Women’s Athletic Association offers the greatest opportunity for expansion of the activi- ties of the class in minor sports through tourna- ments in badminton, shuffleboard, ping-pong, bowl- ing, and darts; and of the indoor sports class, through tournaments in volleyball and basketball. In turn, the skills acquired in these classes afford enjoyment in taking advantage of the popular “Recreation Nite.” The closs in Fundamentals of the Dance extend s to Dance Club where those who enjoy ballet danc- fing may develop grace and expression and provide beauty and entertainment for others. Folk Dancing and Social Dancing classes develop the skills which enable one to be a participant in the social activities of the college and to be more a part of the life on the campus. These are only a few of the sports offered by the college which will enhance our leasure time in the future if we acquire the skills now.

Student Senate In April, 1946, the Student Senate conducted the annual all-school election for the purpose of eiect- ing a student body president, vice-president and student senators. Robert C. Bob’ Davis was elect- ed president and Janet Drennan vice-president. The new officers and senators were sworn into of- fice during the second week in May. The Senate started the revision of the student handbook in the spring of 1946. At that time a committee composed of Mary Garrett, Meredee Myers, and Lola Klopp, was appointed to make the necessary changes. The work of revision was continued by the new senate and a change in the constitution which had been suggested was submit- ted to the vote of the student body. The proposed change was passed by a wide margin. The beginning of the fall quarter led to an in- crease of the activities of the Student Senate. In October the annual Walkout Day was conducted by the senior Class under the auspices of the Sen- ate. Other important acts were the appointment of editors for the TOWER and the NORTHWEST MISSOURIAN. The Senate co-operated with the Maryville Chamber of Commerce in urging each organization on the campus to sponsor candidates in the “Miss Maryville’ queen contest. The advent of the football season made it neces- sary to appoint four cheerleaders to lead the ar- dent Bearcat fans. Arrangements were also made to have dances following the games in order that the Senate could raise money for the purchase of equipment necessary for the operation of the Bear- cat Den and Lounge. Page 72 During the year the Senate appro ved the forma- tion of two new organizations on the campus, the Commerce Business Administration Club and the Delta Sigma Epsilon educational sorority. Shortly after the basketball season was under way, Tuesday and Thursday nights were desig- nated as “Playnites,” for which a program was organized and held at the gymnasium under the direction of Coach Don Peterson. The Senate helped in the securing of a radio phonograph in order that students might dance as well as participate in other sports such as volleyball, badminton, swim- ming, basketball, and table tennis. The Senate of 1946-47 purchased a ventilating fan, urns, blinds and light s for the Lounge, which the last year’s Senate obtained and decorated. Con- siderable effort was put forth to make it more pleasant and enjoyable for the students. An open forum was held during the winter quar- ter, at which the Senate discussed current ques- tions on the campus with the presidents of the va- rious organizations. Later it was decided to make the open forum a permanent feature to be held on the fourth Tuesday of each month. At the required times throughout the year elec- tions of student senators were held. Members of the Social Committee and Student Faculty Com- mittee were appointed, and representatives to the Student Analysis on Foreign Policy Convention, held in St. Joseph April 11-12, were also appointed. The Senate meets on every Tuesday that school is in progress. The time of the meeting is 6:45 p. m., and any student is welcome to attend. Student Secial Committee Each year during the fall quarter the Student Senate selects the students for the Social Commit- tee to aid in planning and carrying out the social events for the students and by the students. This group is made up of one man and one woman from each of the three lower classes and three seniors. One of the seniors acts as chairman of the organization. To be more specific as to their duties, much of their activity this year centered around the ‘‘After- Game dances. Among the highlights of the social year was the Homecoming Dance and crowning of the Homecoming Queen. Part of the committee made the necessary preparations for Walkout Day. Leap-Week was climaxed by the Sadie Hawkins dance, with humorous costumes and intermission stunts. The annual Christmas Ball, with all of its lovely formals, stands out as the crowning event of the year.

Residence Acall Council The object of this organization is to make Resi- dence Hall a self-governing body in which every girl will have a voice; to promote high ideals and standards of living; to create a cultural and social atmosphere; and to meet such situations as may arise in the Hall. The council has fifteen members, five of which are officers. The other members include three rep- resentatives each from Junior and Senior classes and two each from Freshman and Sophomore classes. Each year there are traditional social affairs car- ried on by the girls of the Hall, such as the Hang- ing of the Greens, tea for faculty women, pajama parties after ten-thirty, and a Senior Breakfast. This year for the first time the girls gave a parents’ tea and a spring dance, having Open House each time. Northwest Missourian Aspiring journalists, English majors, and interest- ed laymen compose the staff of the NORTHWEST MISSOURIAN, official College newspaper. The membership of the staff has varied from quarter to quarter throughout the year, but interest has been shown by all members toward learning good newspaper techniques and publishing a useful pa- per for students and friends of the college. The NORTHWEST MISSOURIAN is a member of the Northwest Missouri Press Association, and mem- bers of its staff have tried to uphold the traditions of this association. Add itional incentive to do the work required is the fact that all members, by at- tending regular meetings of the staff and carrying some class work as well as regular assignments, may acquire one hour of credit per quarter. Myrtle Lee Burns, of Weston, has served as stu- dent editor of the paper for the complete term of 1946-47, Miss Violette Hunter, of the College Eng- lish department, has acted as faculty editor, and Miss Mattie Dykes, acting chairman of the English department, has served as faculty adviser, The MARYVILLE DAILY FORUM prints the paper, which comes out every two weeks. The NATIONAL COLLEKIATE DIGEST is distributed with each issue of the paper. The DIGEST tells of college activi- ties throughout the United States. The policy this year has been to send all the material to be set up in galleys on or before Friday. Members of the staff proof this material when it returns from the rrinters and plan the dummy. The final proofing is done on Tuesday. The paper comes into the hands of the students on Wednes- day. The typists then prepare copies for mailing to parents and graduates of the school who sub- scribe for the paper.

Page 74 Tower Staff The TOWER staff is composed of a group of stu- dents who®set out in the fall with a few reams of paper, some film, and at least a few ideas. Some of the paper is used for writing a coniract, but a larger portion of it finds its way into the waste basket, smeared with the less practical ideas. How- ever, when the stack of paper starts running low, some of the better ideas start taking form, and the outcome is a few articles that are presentable. With the film it is simpler. If one lines the people up in rows, turn on a couple of lights, and asks “Which do you prefer, blondes or brunettes?” the picture has to turn out all right. It is a mechanical process. The TOWER staff is headed by an editor who is customarily chosen in the spring by the Sophomore class from a grolp of students whose names are submitted by an advisory board. The staff itself is selected by the editor and the faculty adviser with regard to both ability and previous service to the school. A majority of the staff is usually chosen from the Junior class. Except for a near doubling in cost, this year has been more favorable toward the production of a TOWER than any of the past few years. Shortages have been greatly reduced in both printing and photographic supplies. The staff has attempted to carry over this advantage into the production of a TOWER which will be a stepping stone toward TOWERS in the future which will be unsurpassed in quality. For the first time in several years we have been able to produce a TOWER with new pictures in both scenery and individuals. We want this TOWER to be representative of this college in the school year of 1946 and 1947 in order that it might become one of your cherished possessions in future years. We think our faculty adviser, our art editor, and our assistant art editor are worthy of special men- tion. Recognition is due the former for his sound advice and hard work, and the latter two for their long, seemingly never ending hours of very high quality artistic work. One of the important social events of the year was the TOWER Dance, which was sponsored and presented by the TOWER staff. Two important events dominated the evening. The staff announced the dedication of the 1947 TOWER to Dr. John Wil- liam Jones, President of Northwest Missouri State Teachers College, and lovely Miss Mary Garrett was crowned TOWER Queen of 1947. Serving as the staff of the 1947 TOWER has been an enjoyable but arduous task. We feel it has given us valuable training in organization and in following through to completion. It has been an opportunity well worth our taking advantage of. We hope you enjoy your TOWER as much as we have enjoyed making it for you. This is the final product of those reams of paper, that film, and those ideas.

Pi Omega Pi Pi Omega Pi is a national business education honorary fraternity organized among colleges and universities offering preparation for teachers of commercial subjects. Its aims include the fostering of high scholarship in commerce, the encourage- ment of ethical standards in business and profes- sional life, and the promotion of the ideal of serv- ice. Requirements for membership include courses in commerce and education, with high scholastic achievemenis in commerce and at least average grades in other college subjects. Historically, Beta Chapier, of the Northwest Mis- souri State Teachers College, is the second oldest of the fifty-eight active Pi Omega Chapters, the original and oldest being its sister chapter at the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College at Kirks- ville, Missouri. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. John Cryder, nee Minnie B. James, Beta Chapter started in 1924 and has since thrived. In the twenty-two years of its existence, Beta Chapter has initiated 293 members, many of whom are holding responsi- ble positions in the educational field. Page 76 In its bi-monthly meetings, Pi Omega Pi conducts discussions on topics of professional interest, with social activities appropriate to the growth of the organization and the progress of the school year. As part of its service obligation, Pi Omega Pi regularly sponsors an all-commerce major-minor party for the purpose of promoting friendly rela- tions between the department faculty and students. This year one result of this meeting was the estab- lishment of a new club for the two hundred com- merce majors and minors, the Commerce and Busi- ness Administration Club. As another part of its service program, Pi Omega Pi members assisted the Commerce faculty in con- ducting the Spring Contests. Periodically, the local chanted published a news bulletin which it sends to all its alumni members. In this bulletin are accounts of the current activi- ties, a revised list of the addresses of the alumni, and greetings from many alumni. =- =e Seated: Marilyn Partridge, Sarah Espey, Secretary; Miss June Cozine, Sponsor; Madge Miller, Mary Rockwell, Vice- President.

The Alpha chapter of Kappa Omicron Phi was organized on our campus with Miss Heittie Anthony as founder, in 1922, thus giving Maryville State Teachers College the distinction of being the first chapter of this national organization. There are now twenty-four chapters of Kappa Omicron Phi which are located in various sections of the United States—Virginia, Florida, Texas, Cali- fornia, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Mid-western states. National Conclave, which is held every two years, was held in Kingsville, Texas, in November. Six girls from Maryville and Dr. Cozine, the national president and sponsor of Alpha chapter, attended the meeting. While at Kingsville they visited “King's Ranch, the largest ranch in the world. Many of the girls became acquainted with a different style of entertainment when taken to a barbecue. During the three days the froup was taken on a tour in Old Mexico. The highlight of the tour was dinner at “Sam's Place” in Reynosa, after visits to the open markets and the cathedral. The important activities on our campus this year consisted of the Founders’ Day Banquet in Decem- ber, a Home Party in January, and a Senior Dinner in May. Six professio nal meetings were held to show the girls the the various opportunities in Home Econom- ice. Outside speakers at these meetings were Miss Verda Dale, Home Farm Agent, and Miss Opal O'Briant, the State Supervisor in the Home Farm Agency. As projects for the year, the girls sold food at Residence Hall and displayed samples of Towle Silver. They also learned to make leather gloves. Alpha chapter of Kappa Omicron Phi this year observed pledging service in October and March, bringing the membership to twelve active members and five pledges. Page 77 Newman Club The Newman Club is a Catholic organization es- tablished at nonlCatholic institutions of higher learning, which has for its purpose to strengthen and fortify the spiritual life of its members, to stim- ulate and increase their interests and knowledge of their religion, to direct and assist them in their intellectual, educational, and social interests in the college. The first Newman Club in the United States was established at the University of Pennsylvania in 1893. There are at present more than two hundred such organizations in this country. The majority of these are bound together into an international or- ganization known as “The Newmon Club Federa- tion” representing a Catholic student membership of more than fifty thousand. This club is a member of the Newman Club Federation and it was organ- ized on this campus during the summer of 1922. This club is also an active member of the Central States Province which was organized in Maryville in 1937 at the instigation of this local chapter. Eight Central States make up this province. The ideal of the Newman Club is its patron, Car- dinal John Henry Newman who was chcosen as pa- tron of Catholic students in non-Catholic institu- tions of learning because of his qualities of mind, of heart, and of soul. At meetings, which are held every two weeks, Catholic action and its various phases in the world of today and the way it affects the students in their everyday life, are discussed. This interchange of ideas provides the members with a knowledge and stimulation which they may otherwise to unable to obtain while in school. Activities of the Newman Club for the past year include a formal initiation in November, which was held in the Knights of Columbus Hall, at which time twenty-three new members were initiated into the club. This was the first formal initiation held since 1942, when the club became inactive because of the war. Other activities of the year included Cor- porate Communion, discussion study groups, dances, parties, and a series of Lenten lectures given by out-of-town speakers. The Newman Club was further strengthened and its activities were given a wider scope by the new membership of eight foreign students who came to this college from three Latin American countries. These students are the Misses Thelma Palma, Le- ticia Pinzon, Victoria Torrijos, and Anias Vernaza from Panama; the Misses Alicia Casanovos and Arminda Zelaya of Bolivia; Miss Flores of Costa Rica; and Mr. Manuel Gadea of Peru.

Page 78 Student Christian Association The Student Christian Association is the student group of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. It was organized on this campus in the spring of 1945, and became officially recognized by the United Chris- tian Council, May 22, 1946, under the presidency of Miss Mary Garrett. Meetings are held twice a month in the Bearcat Den. Previously, the “Y hut in the college park was the meeting place, but because of need of housing for veterans, it was abandoned to serve a new purpose. The S. C. A.’s new council retreat and reading room is located in the college library on the first floor. Among the Halloween parties held in the Bearcat Den in October was an S. C. A. masquerade party. Among the many characters present were Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Garrett in full evening dress, Martha and George Washington, two sailors (officers), a clown, a drunk, and rather stout lass, a blustering pirate, and an old feeble lumberman. Among the entertainments were some rather queer stories con- cocted by John Ward. Annually the S. C. A. sponsors Religious Em- phasis Week and the drive for the World Student Service Fund. Religious Emphasis Week was held early in November this year, and the outstanding leaders were Dr. Amos Thornburg of the Grace Methodist Church of St. Louis, and the Reverend Lawrence Bash of Wyatt Park Christian Church of St. Joseph. The following Monday, a dinner meet- ing was held at Professor W. T. Garrett's home for approximately thirty people, who participated in the program for Religious Emphasis Week. The pur- pose of the meeting was to make plans and sug- gestions for the coming year's program. Miss Chang Chen of China visited our campus in February to speak on behalf of the World Stu- dent Service Fund. Since her arrival on the West Coast three months ago, she had been speaking to college assemblies in the West. A tea was held in her honor in the Bearcat Den the same day, and many found in her a delightful personality and conversationalist. The United Student Christian Council sets forth for Student Christian Association, these aims: (1) To deepen the spiritual life of students and to promote an earnest study of the scriptures among them. (2) To influence students to devote themselves to the extension of fellowships and understanding in their own nation and throughout the world. (4) To bring students of all countries to mutual understanding and sympathy, to lead them to real- ize that the principles of Jesus Christ should rule in- ternational relatinships and endeavor by so doing to draw the nations together. (4) To further, either directly or indirectly, the ef- forts on behalf of the welfare of the students in body, mind, and spirit, which are in harmony with the Christian purpose.

Varsity Villagers This organization, whose membership is open to any college woman not residing in Residence Hall, is a dynamic group on our campus. Its purposes are to give town women an opportunity for student government; to create a spirit of fellowship among the women scattered about the town; to promote high ideals and standards of living; to create a cul- tural and social atmosphere and to create leader- ship among college women. The governing body is the Varsity Villager Coun- cil, which meets every other Wednesday evening to discuss problems and plans as they arise. This group is composed of the association officers, a rep- resentative of each organized house and a propor- tional representation of the students living in unor- ganized houses. The council transacts all associa- tion business, plans money-making projects and a well-balanced social program throughout the year. The girls made and sold sandwiches several times this year at the Men's Quadrangle and at Residence Hall as a money-making project. In October the Varsity Villagers, together with the Co-operative Independents, put on a Hallowe’en Masquerade party. Prizes were awarded for the best costufes, and the well planned program of games and entertainment carried out the Hallow- e’en theme. During the winter quarter the girls put on a car- nival, which features such concessions as the Cake Page 80 Walk, Bingo, The Seven Wonders of the World, Spider's Web, a trinket stand and the usual refresh- ment booth. On the night of Spring registration the Varsity Villagers sponsored an all-school Barn Dance at the Main Gymnasium. Aside from the fact that the caller and fiddlers arrived after many guests had given up hope and departed, a good time was had by the remaining brave souls, many of whom had never square danced before. Pep was added to the party by one tried and true square dancer who, with the breakdown of one fiddle, took to the piano and stole the show for the rest of the evening. The Varsity Villagers Association works in close co-operation with the Hquseholders Association to maintain standards of living acceptable to the col- lege and the community. The new Varsity Villager handbook is soon to go to the printers. With this in view, it has been one of the jobs of the council this year to make any necessary constitutional revisions so that an up-to- date constitution may be added to the publication. In addition to the inclusion of this and of the con- stitution of the Householders Association, other changes in keeping with the trend of the times are being made in order to bring the handbook strictly up to date. It is hoped this book will be ready for distribution with the opening of the 1947-48 school year.

Dramatics Clut The Dramatics Club was organized in October, 1946, under the leadership of Mrs. Ramona Canton. Membership is open to all students, especially speech majors and minors, interested in drama and play production. The purposes of this organization are to promote student activity in dramatics and to increase appreciation of the theatre and its arts. Members of the Dramatics Club participated in county visitation trips to the high schools of Beth- any, Ridgeway, Eagleville, Mound City, Fairfax, Tarkio, Rock Port, Plaitsburg, Cameron, and Horace Mann. During the year four one-act plays and a minstrel show were given by the Club. Grace Jean Frisby directed “Ladies of the Mop,’ James McKins- try directed “Printers Ink,” and Mrs. Canton directed “If Me n Played Cards as Women Do, and “Hog Business.” Club membetrs constructed scenery for the plays. Members taking part in the plays were Jean Bush, Mary Clarke, Sammy Carpenter, Edythe Fitzwater, Zea Grissinger, Jr., Grace Jean Frisby, Glenn Hansford, Charlene Hartness, Norman Hoff- man, Robert Mann, James McKinstry, Opal O'Dell, Joseph Roach, Mary Ann Schooler; Verlin Tompkins, Claire Wallace, and John Ward. Two parties, a Hallowe'en Masquerate, and a Si. Patrick's Day party were held by the club in the Bearcat Den for the members, thear guests, Presi- dent and Mr. Jones, Dean and Mrs. Cunningham, and Dean of Women, Miss Locke. Prizes were awarded for the most original costumes at the mas- querade. Games, ghosi stories, and dancing in the Den rounded out an evening of good entertain- ment. A Truth or Consequence program was the theme of the St. Patrick's Day party. “Bob’’ Mann was the announcer, Sam Carpenter the emcee, and Jack Turner the bell ringer. Jean Bush, Helen Sutton, and Ann Fay were the advertising trio singing about Dr. Canton’s Power Pills. President Jones, Claire Wallace, John Ward, Norman Hoffman, Rich- ard Thomas, Charles Lesher, Mary Clarke, James McKinstry, and “Bill’’ Elam were the contestants. “Bill” managed to guess the color that St. Patrick's Day suggested and was awarded the grand prize of the evening—to kiss Miss Blarney Stone in the form of Claire. Refreshments were served and the evening, ended with dancing in the Bearcat Den. May 10 and 11 were the dates of the annual speech contests held at the college. This was a very busy time for Mrs. Canton and a few members of the club, who kept things running as smoothly as possible where they announced numbers, watched the doors, and saw that people knew where to go. Some very fine readings and plays were given by the contesiants and all managed to survive the spring contests in fine shape. Page 81 First Row: Mary Doran, Florine Wolf, Phyllis Lash, Mary Downing.

One of the highlights of the year was the performance of Gershwin’s RHAPSODY IN BLUE with Mr. Robb, the conductor, at the piano. This organization presents two formal concerts each year, at which it features outstanding examples of Symphonic Band literature. The Mixed Chorus is composed of forty-five mem- bers who are selected on a basis of voice quality and ability to maintain a part. The group meets three times a week at eleven o'clock. The purpose of the chorus is to study choral literature of smaller and larger forms of the various periods in the de- velopment of music, Three times this year the Col- lege Chorus united with the Northwest Missouri Music Guild to present concert programs. The highlight of the year was the singing of Handel's MESSIAH at Christmas time. In addition to their performance with the Guild, the Chorus also pre- sented concerts at various times during the year. The Symphonic Band of over fifty pieces is an im- portant organization on the campus. It plays selec- tions from the masters as well as music in the con- Page 82 Membership in the Women’s Ensemble is limited to those who have had sufficient vocal training and development and whose voices blend well with a group.

Both En- sembles are maintained to entertain in college as- semblies and surrounding schools who wish to have them as their entertaining guests, The String Ensemble is composed of outstanding string players. Membership is ope n to al! students who can qualify to a certain degree of proficiency on a stringed instrument. String Ensemble meets twice a week under the direction of Miss Catherine Phelps and plays chamber music of all periods of music history. During the past year the string en- semble has not performed as such, but has been the string section for the orchestra which accom- panied the college chorus and community chorus at their formal concerts.

Guture Teachers of America The Future Teachers of America is a national organization for those students who intend to be- come teachers, either in high school or grades. Our chapte r here is the John Dewey Chapter, which was established in 1943. Dr. Ruth O. Lane, of the Mathe- matics Department, is the sponsor. We now have twenty-three members, an increase of one hundred per cent over last year. Members are known by the silver pins with the flame of education on it. The charter hangs in the Bearcat Den with a seal for each year, denoting standing with the national organization. At each meeting this year we have had as our central and continuing theme, current information on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. As future teachers we feel that we should be interested in international educa- tion and cultural advancement as well as education in our country. The remainder of the meeting is given over to whatever topic the leader for the evening wishes to present. After the leader fin- ishes, the topic is then discussed by the entire group. These topics are connected with teacher problems such as salary, conscription and leader- ship in education. At least one meeting is devoted to listening to ‘The Town Meeting of the Air. At our meetings volunteers serve refreshments Dues include a year’s subscription to THE NA- TIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION JOURNAL and the SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY magazines. The latter is published by the Missouri State Teachers Page 84 Association. These magazines contain many inter- esting and helpful articles. In the library we have a book-shelf containing books furnished by the National Education Association, to which new ones are added each year. Various pamphlets are sent to the members during the year. In October we ushered at the Northwest Missouri Teachers Meeting held in the college. Our organi- zation and the Association for Childhood Education helped entertain the seniors of the high schools on Senior Day, in April. Our activities have been varied this year. Last November we chartered a bus and attended one day of the Teachers Meeting in Kansas City. At our next meeting the members reported on the sec- tional meetings attended, and all discussed the general meetings. To end this schoo! year's activities, we had the traditional dawn breakfast. Members may join at any time during the school year. There are two types of membership: active and non-active. Active members are those people who are deeply interested in teaching as a profes- sion and who have time to attend all meetings, be a leader at one meeting during the school year, and participate in projects. The non-active mem- bers do not attend all of the monthly meetings, are not participants in any of the projects, but receive the magazines. The majority of our members prefer to be active.

Assaciation for Childhoed Education The Association for Childhood Education is a stu- dent branch of a great international organization which has as its chief purpose and interest the guidance of young children of nursery, kindergar- ten, primary, and intermediate grades. Meeting nights are the second and fourth Monday nights of each month at seven-fifteen in the Horace Mann kindergarten. Subjects of interest and im- portance to girls planning to teach and work with young children become the topics for discussion at the meetings. A tea for prospective members was held the after- noon of September thirtieth. A treasure hunt cli- maxed the first meeting in October, which was de- voted to pledging and initiation. An outstanding meeting of the year was one at which the members took the role of kindergarten children and the critic teachers in the elementary department of the Hor- ace Mann school directed them through a day in kindergarten. Speakers and their subjects for vari- ous meetings were Dr. John Harr, “International Peace”; Miss Wincie Ann Carruth, “Rhythmic Acti- cities ; and Miss Alta Carpenter, “Literature for Young Children.” Miss carruth also led the group in a number of rhythmic games. Mr. Howard Rin- gold conducted a “Craft Night’ at the Industrial Arts building, where industrial art activities for elementary grades were demonstrated and mem- bers of the organization took part in activities and contests. Betty McCowen led one meeting on “Work with Children as Workers.” Special events of the year were the annual formal Christmas dinner at the Country Club, a Valentine party, and the annual May Morning Breakfast for seniors at the Country Club. The yearly custom of boarding the green and white bus and traveling to the National Convention of the Association for Childhood Convention was r e- sumed this year after the suspension of wartime travel restrictions. Miss Millikan, the sponsor, ten active members and several former members who are teaching at present, traveled to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for this meeting. They attended study conferences and classes of their own choosing and a southern style banquet. Sight seeing trips added to the experiences and education of the group to make the visit an event long to be remembered. To ear money for the trip, the girls sold cold drinks at Residence Hall, cared for children, and spon- sored an all-school “Kid-Party.” At the latter, stu- dents enjoyed an evening of dancing, intermingled with children's games. The girls enjoyed having among their members two foreign girls who are exchange students of the college. They were Arminda Zelaya of Bolivio and Kiki Ioannu of Greece, Page 85 Intermediate Grade Club The Intermediate Grade Club is sponsored by Miss Mary Keith. This is an educational club for students who intend to teach in Grades four, five, and six of the Public Schools. The purpose of the club is two-fold; first, to ac- quaint students with the nature of children and problems of the upper elementary school; and sec- ond, ta develop the individual college student through activities of the club. A ratio of two pro- College Home The college Home Economics Club, a branch of the Missouri Home Economics Association, is an erganization for any student in the college who has enrolled in or is interested in home economics. Its purposes are as follows: to develop genuine teamwork and promote friendship among home economics students, to help develop good leader- ship and intelligent fellowship, to encourage crea- tive arts, to encourage improvement in scholarship, to provide social, business, and professional expe- fessional meetings and one social meeting has been observed. Social meetings of the year in- cluded a chili supper at Christmas, a Valentine party and an Easter party. The club has a meeting every other Tuesday at five o'clock at Horace Mann School. New members who came into the club during the Spring Quarter were Helen Sirickland, Amelia Clapham, Anna Louise Prather, and Althelia Hill. Economics Club riences, fo co-operate with other local clubs, and with state and national groups. The club has fos- tered these purposes through hearing various home economists, a County Home Agent, a Home Demon- stration Agent, and several Home Economists in Education. The club sponsored a fashion show, sent representatives to various conferences throughout the state during the year, held a Christmas party, and a May Day Breakfast.

International Relations Club The International Relations Club was organized to create student interest in achieving international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian char- acter, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction as ta race, sex, language, or religion. It is attaining its purpose by round table discussions, lectures, and group study at bi-monthly meetings as well as by participation in conferences with students from other colleges. The club is on old-timer on the campus In the early 1930's a Social Science Club realized the need of a group in which informative discussions of world affairs could be carried on. It developed a club known as the Social-Science International Relations Club. In 1935, under the guidance of Dr. Henry A. Foster, the present club was formed, The club is the recipient of benefits offered by the Car- negie Endowment for International Relations Clubs. This fund was set up by the late Andrew Carmegie in his effort, as an individual, to promete world peace. Membership in the International Relations Club is open to all students of the college. The Social Science department encourages all its majors and minors to join the group. An important asset to the club in its discussions on current foreign affairs is the membership of foreign students. This year the club had the privilege of enrolling members from Bolivia, Peru, Costa Rica, Panama, Norway, and Greece. With persons from three continen‘s in its midst, the club can truthfully say it is international within itself. A modern up-to-date library is maintained by the club. The better books on world affairs are pre- sented to the club by the Carnegie Institute imme- diately upon their publication. This excellent col- lection of books is made available to the club mem- bers in a comlortable reading room which is main- tained on the first floor of the library in co-opera- tion with the Student Christian Organization At the beginning of this school year a new con- stitution was drawn up by the International Rela- tions Club in order to keep it abreast of the times in this speedily changing world. To place emphasis upon realization of a great need for an effective United Nations, the club made a section of the United Nations Charter the preamble to the consti- tution. The club is sponsored by the Social Science de- partment of the college. Individual sponsors include all the Social Science instructors and Dr. Joseph H. Dreps of the Foreign Language department. It is a pleasure to have leisure hour associations with men who have distinguished themselves in our class- rooms. After years of study and world travel, they are able to translate for students the wide range of world problems, Five members of the group were chosen to repre- sent the club at the Mississippi Valley International Relations Conference at Carleton College, North- field. Minnesota, on April 19th and 20th. Jeanne Tayler, Martha Lewis, Kent Barber, Herbert Dieter- ich, and Jehn Parham were selected to make the trip by auto with their sponsor, Dr. John Harr. The students were panel participants in discussions on “The United States in the Far Fast, “The United States in Europe,” and “The United States and the United Nations.” The International Relations Club considers itself a vital link between college students and the ac- tivities of the world around it. I offers to its mem- bers in the form of extra curricular activity, an op- portunity to become leaders in discussions of world politics and affairs.

These obpectives aimed at carrying out “a program that would benefit the college, the student, and all student organizations.” Under the leadership and guidance of John Heng- geler, the temporary chairman, money was raised for the treasury and necessary expenses of the or- ganization. This was accomplished by the work and interest of the people who were willing to give their time and effort to the selling of programs at all the football games. . The membership rally, held in the College Park, was an occasion of food, run, and fellowship for all present. During the winter quarter a Backwards Party was given, and a large number of independ- ents gathered for a most enlightening and enjoy- able evening. A “Truth or Consequences program proved most amusing and humorous because most of the participants failed to tell the truth and paid the consequences. Dancing was featured the latter part of the evening.

North, National Secretary of the fraternity. The purposes of the organization are “to assem- ble college men in the fellowship of the Scout Oath and Law, to develop friendship, and to promote service to humanity. Its four-fold program of Serv- ice is dedicated to “Service to members of the fra- ternity, service to the student body and faculty, service to youth and the community, and service to the nation.” As a campus organization it is evident that serv- ice on the campus should be the primary objective. This objective is accomplished by the work of chap- ter officers and members ‘in co-operation with the faculty, the administration, and other campus or- ganizations. Although Alpha Phi Omega is essentially a cam- pus organization, it accomplishes much good in the community, especially in its relation to the Boy Scout movement. The members of the Chapter ben- efit from the opportunities for leadership and social activities and through the training received be- come better prepared to accept their responsibilities as citizens of the community and nation. Men who have been affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America are eligible for membership. Page 90 They must also show that they have an earnest de- sire to be of service to others. These are the two fundamental requirements for active membership. During the year the chapter has attempted to maintain a service program of benelit to the school, community and nation. The chapter has sponsored the sale of Tuberculosis Seals in the college. An appropriate assembly was given to explain the pur- pose of the seals. Seals were then offered for sale at a booth in the lower hall. The other major service activity was the sponsor- ing of the “March of Dimes.” Containers were placed at convenient locations in the halls for con- tributions to be made. Also collections were taken at the basketball games. In addition to these activi- ties the men have assisted in ushering at major entertainments and helped with auto parking. Several social functions have been held during the year. During the fall term an initiation banquet was held at the Linville Hotel. Later in the fall the chapter had a hayride. During March the year- ly dinner-dance was held at the Country Club and was enjoyed by all the members, their guests, the Faculty sponsors and advisers. The Beta Upsilon Chapter feels that it has ac- complished much that it set out to do upon reor- ganization and hopes in the future to continue to be true to its tradition of service. —_ Pan-Hellenic Council The purpose of the Pan-Hellenic Council is to Fromote good will and co-operation between the two sororities on the campus. It has charge of all tushing and the enforcement of Pan-Hellenic rules The council is mad e up of the presidents, vice-presi- dents, and one other representative from each soror- ity. Miss Locke is the sponsor of this organization. The Pan-Hellenic tea is the first social event of the year, officially opening the fall rush season for the sororities, This affair is always looked forward to with great anxiety by all! sorority girls and fu- ture rushees. This is the Council's social function of the year. It is planned and carried out by the girls of the two sororities. The receiving line is composed of the presidents and sponsors of the two sororities and the Pan-Hellenic sponsor. The Council is making plans to promote better scholarship by presenting a cup to the sorority maintaining the highest scholastic average during each year. Revision of the constitution of this organization has been one of the main projects of the year. This revision has been made necessary because of larger enrollment in the college and in the chapter membership, as well as the everchanging school life. Iuter-Gnraternity Council This council is a member of the national Pan- Hellenic Association of Educational Sororities, and through this organization regulates all local Pen- Hellenic affairs. The Inter-Fraternity Council was established on the campus in 1935. Its purpose is to promote m u- tual welfare and good understanding between the two social fraternities, and between them and non- Greek organizations on the campus. The membership of the council consists of the presidents of each of the fraternities and three PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL First Row: Janet Drennen, Misa Martha Locke, Spon- sor; Meredee Myers.

The council holds monthly meetings, sets dates for the pledging and rushing, and acts as a board ta settle disputes that may arise between the fra- ternities.

The aims of the soririty are to build character, to develop leadership, to impress upon its members the high standards of the teaching profession, to promote unselfish co-operation and to establish among the members a perpetual bond of friendship. “County Fair’ was the theme of the informal rush party which officially began the busy social season of Tri Sigma. Gaily decorated carnival booths on the outside, and picnic lunches packed in wooden strawberry boxes on the inside were attractive fea- tures of the fair. This was followed by the tradi- tional formal theatre party with its impressive can- dle-lighting ceremony. The active members had a very informal rainy- day “picnic” at Garretts’ home the Saturday before they collected the bids of the twenty-five new pledges. As a first get-together, a tea was given at the chapter house. The pledges gave an old- fashioned Hallowe’en party for the actives in the Den, complete with apple ducking and wierd ghosts. A “Tri-Swing” formal at the Country Club was the big event for November. Swings were all around in purple and white, with a big real life swing surrounded by a picket fence occupying the center of the dance floor. The Christmas party had to be postponed until the last night before vacation, when all the girls crowded into room 201 at the dorm for a gift ex- change and song fest, A “sock” dance in January, given in the setting of a barn, was complete with hay, old-fashioned lanterns, a realistic cow, and matching socks on all the couples. Here is where the Tri Sig all-girl swing band made its first appearance. February brought forth a “George Washington” dance in the Den, after which the Tri-Sigs took their guests to the show. The chapter gave a tea at the Chapter House for all members of the Maryville Alumna Chapter and others who were able to come. Those yearly gath- etings keep the “alums” in close contact with the college chapter. Founders Day, April 20, was celebrated with a formal dinner at the Country Club with Tri Sigma mothers as invited guests. The last social event of the year was the Spring Formal at the Country Club. The decorations and good music made it a memorable event. Looking back, it seems that the Tri Sigs have had a very busy year socially. There have been, many good times and occasions that will not soon be forgotten. Miss June Cozine, who had a leave of absence to work on her doctor's dissertation, is back with the chapter again, co-sponsoring the group with Miss Marjorie Elliott, These sponsors and the pa- tronesses work together to help the girls make things run smoothly. Meredee Myers, president, Mary Garrett, and Miss Elliott went to the regional meet at Chicago, where they represented Alpha Epsilon. From all reports, their pep-rally luncheon was a success. They brought back news and new ideas from the other college chapters in this part of the country. The social service record of Tri Sigma shows that each month something was contributed to a worthy social project, such as the Infantile Paralysis Fund, and the Hed Cross. Charm school and Harmony Hour are two fea- tures of Tri Sigma which were held once a month, the first to teach and improve etiquette, the latter to discuss world affairs and other things that a col- lege girl should know. Twenty-five girls were pledged last fall, increas- ing the group to well over fifty. Several have left since then to be married, and others will be gone after the spring quarter, but those who are coming back are looking forward to another big year for Tri Sigma.

T. C. school spirit was taken out of the mothballs once again in the fall of 1946 for another year of fun, football and basketball games and queens, formal and informal dances, picnics and parties, books and professors,a TOWER and a graduation.) DEAR DIARY.... September 22: Rush week activities of the year were opened with the annual Pan-Hellenic tea given at the Bearcats’ Den in honor of the fu- ture rushees. September 24: The scene of the Alpha Sig informal rush party was a gypsy camp by the lake at the Country Club. Carrying out the gypsy theme, a camp was formed in a semi-circle about the edge of the lake with covered wagons, tents, bales of hay, and three large bonfires. It was an exciting evening, listening to tales of gypsy lore, singing songs, and wit- nessing a “real” gypsy dance. September 26: Rush week activities were brought to a close with a unique formal party at the Country Club, which for the evening became the “Stork Club.” The invitations, covered with gold satin with a stork in top hat and cane on the front, were written in the form of a recom- mendation for admittance. The clubhouse was decorated to represent the “Stork Club with a red bar at one end. Toasts were written above the bar from which soft drinks and open-face sandwiches were served throughout the even- ing. The tables, arranged in a semi-circle in front of a small stage, were decorated with white table cloths ruffled in red and a red candle placed in a circle of red covered with silver stars. Menus with a stork in black and white listed the drinks: “Alpha Atom,” “Kuchs Zombie, “Alpha Sig Sling,” “Phi Phi Phizz, and “Mint Delight. Cigaret girls wearing white aprons with red ruffles and black top hats car- ried small silver trays and presented the favors to the rushees. October 5: The Sigma Taus and the Alpha Sigs had a dance in honor of their pledges tonight at the Country Club—lots of fun. October 11: This is homecoming week-end in Mary- ville and everyone is taking an active part in the festivities planned. Cheerleaders “Tex” Polk, Sue Philp, Elaine Woodburn (all Alpha Sigs) with “Lep” and Mitch organized a big pep rally the night before the game with Springfield—bonfires, a snake dance, and all that goes with it. The four attendants to the Homecoming Queen were Alpha Sigs: Janet Drennan, Delores Keown, Gere Gebert, and Wilma Proctor. October 15: A beauty contest was held at the Tivoli theatre for the purpose of picking a rep- resentative for Maryville at the Kansas City American Royal. And charming Alpha Sig Wilma Proctor was crowned “Miss Maryville.” October 16° Walk-out Day-— nuff said, November 7: NORTHWEST MISSOURIAN an- nounced “Who's Whe-—Alpha Sig President Janet Drennan among those honored. November 13: Annual Founder's Day Banquet at the Country Club, with sixty-eight alumnae members, actives, pledges, patronesses, and sponsors present. The theme of the forty-fifth anniversary program was “Wise Builders.” President Jones was our honor guest. November 15: Accompanied Bearcats to Warrens- burg and cheered them on to another victory through the rain and mud. What a dayl December 20: A tea in honor of our mothers was given at the home of Mrs. J. W. Jones. Each daughter gave her mother a favor pin bearing the sorority crest. It was a lovely tea—one of the nicest events of the year. January: The WAA Basketball tournament is un- der way and the Alpha Sig team hasn't lost a single game—yet. February: Well, we won that tournament and are we ever proud of our team, captained by “Tex.” Guards Margie Aldrich and Sue Philp and For- vore Janie Huggins were picked for the All- tars. February 15: Oh, how we danced tonight at our Sweetheart Dance at the Country Club, to the music of Eddie Dix and his orchestra. Every- one was “in the mood” and what a wonderful dance. March: Spring rushing and three new Alpha Sig pledges—-Dorothy Anderson, Lois Keith, and Ludene Pollard. April 19: Our first informal picnic of the year—we danced at the Country Club and then went to the midnight show. Somethin’ doin’ every min- ute. May 3: What a dance) What a datel What a night! The Spring Formal—the last formal dance of 1947, and one for the scrapbook of memories. May 29: Graduation—It has been a full year for the Alpha Sigs, and a good one. So long, Dear Diary.

The fraternity is the oldest National Social-Professional Teachers Col- lege fraternity in the United States. It is a member of the Association of Teachers College Fraternities. The organization stresses social attainment, exten- sive participation in extracurricular activities, lead- ership and fellowship among its members. During the war years the Taus became almost extinct, but once again our chapter is strong in membership. An election of officers for the year was held early in the fall and plans were made for the yearly program soon afterwards. The faculty adviser for our members is Dr. John L. Harr. Our sponsors are Mr. R. T. Wright, Mr. J. Norvel Sayler, Mr, D. N. Valk, and Mr, F. B. Houghton. Our pres- ent pledges are Arthur Bahr, Calvin Boyd, Walter Moody, Thomas K. Milligan, Joseph Roach, William Schweikert, and Charles Rupe, Jr. We were handicapped this {fall by having no chapter house, however many of the old members are back with us to offset the housing situation and to add strength and spirit to the chapter. Meet- ings have been held in the Bearcat Den. Without aplace to call home, the Taus feel as if they are missing something in fraternity life, but our spirits are high; by next fall we hope to be established in our own Sigma Tau Home as of yorel There has been an epidemic of marriages and en- gagements among the brothers during the year, which at first threatened to disrupt our whole pro- gram, But when Wednesday night rolls around ‘tis a good excuse to get out with the boys. Our social life has included two smokers, a joint pledge dance with the Alpha Sigs, held at the Country Club, informal parties and dances, informal picnics at the Wayside Park, initiation and fun in general. The All-Greek Formal Dance opened the spring quarter. A smoker was held at the Dream Kitchen during the fall quarter to entertain pros- pective members of the fraternity. Another smoker was held at the Country Club shortly after return- ing from the Christmas holidays, Sigma Tau Gam- ma’s Spring Formal, held April 26, was the grand finale to the well rounded social program of the year. At this time we welcomed back all alumni members as we have done in past years. Dan Emerson was the official representative to our National Convention, held in St. Louis in De- cember, Other members who attended the conven- tion were Charles Miller and Paul Whitfield. They brought back to the chapter many high points from the various sessions. We have been represented by various teams in the intramural sports program, such as volleyball, tennis, track, golf, and softball, and we have been active participants on the college football, b asket- ball, swimming and golf teams.

During the winter quarter it boasted forty-seven active members and thirteen pledges who become active during the spring quar- ter. This year the fraternity has gone back to its peace-time practice of having its own fraternity house where the bonds of fellowship can be more securely founded. The house, located at 614 West Second Street, houses seventeen men with a new chapter room where meetings are held each Wed- nesday evening. On nights when no homework is due, the chapter room becomes the gathering place for card-playing, buil-sessions and horse-play. A smoker was held for the fall quarter pledges at the Elks Club. Refreshments were served and Pres- ident Bill Vest reviewed the aims and ideals set up by the fraternity charter. A month later the pledge dance was held at the Country Club and two months later the active initiation of thirty new men took place. The smokers, dances and other informal gatherings that were held regularly by the fratern- ity for the pledges, will not soon be forgotten by the men who have now become active members. The annual Phi Sig Spring Formal, perhaps the most awaited event of the year for the fraternity, was even bigger and better this year than in any previous year. This was “the dance of the year for Phi Sigma Epsilon, The fraternity was active in school affairs during the entire year. In the inter-mural basketball league the fraternity sponsored three teams, of which one finished first in their league and another one second in its respective league. The Phi Sig team went on to capture the championship and won the inter-mural league basketball trophy. At the school dances the fraternity had some of its members on the dance committee and the [ra- ternity was always represented at every school function. Besides being active in school affairs this year, the fraternity was proud to have three of its mem- bers chosen for biographies in the 1946-47 college WHO'S WHO, Glen Singleton, Ronald Ensign and Odd Steinholt were the honored students. This year at its National Conclave the Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity was formally changed from a na- tional teachers fraternity to a national social fra- ternity. This was a step in paving the way to the geal of having Phi Sigma Epsilon chapters not only in teachers colleges but in other colleges and uni- versities throughout the country. Under the able leadership of President Bill Vest and the guiding hands of the Phi Sigma Epsilon sponsors, Mr. W. T. Garrett, and Mr. H. R. Dieterich, the fraternity has this year made great strides in its athletic, social and scholarship programs. With the most successful year in its history just completed and an even more promising year to come, the Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity is planning even bigger things for next year.

Kenneth Boyer, Howard Glavin, Paul Butherus, Alvin Wormsley W MM Chit Reorganized after three years of inactivity, the “M Club has slowly but surely won its place in Maryville as a prominent organization. Early in the winter quarter the club mailed to former mem- bers news letters which told not only of the athletic exploits of the men at M. S. T. C,, but also told of general conditions concerning the school. These letters are now a regular feature of M Club ac- tivities, and appreciation has been expressed by many of the old timers upon receipt of the letters In order to facilitate handling of this new activity, officers of corresponding secretary and publicity chairman were created. Regular initiation was held during the winter quarter. At that time the new members were ori- Page 100 ented to the responsibilities, aims, and pleasures of the club. The club sponsored a volleyball sextet, and en- tered two softball teams in intramural play in the spring. These outfits performed admirably in a league replete with talent. Many of the club mem- mers also participated in intramural basketball. In the spring, a dance was sponsored by the club after an intra-squad football game. The double event proved entertaining to all, and is intended to be a regular spring activity of the organization. In an effort to stimulate more interest in home athletic contests, the “M Club had made plans for attractive programs to be available at all home sporting events. Womens Athletic Association The Women's Athletic Association was organized in 1925 on the Northwest Missouri State Teachers College Campus for the purpose of promoting a school spirit of loyalty among girls, to encourage participation in healthful recreation and to interest high school graduates in the college. During the fall quarter, W. A. A., under the direc- tion of Thelma Oyerly, sponsored volleyball for the girls on the campus, The team, of which Lois Gor- den was captain, won the round robin tournament. Maxine Holland's team was second, “Bev” Osburn's team third, and Arlene Davis's team fourth. Basketball was the highlight during the winter quarter under the capable management of Wanda Ashford. Seven teams: the Alpha Sigs; Barkatze; M. I. C. and Jolly Jumpers, sponsored by the Inde- pendent Club; Peppers; Tri Sigs; and Varsity Vil- lagers entered the round robin tournament. Basket- ball season closed with the Alpha Sigs, winners in the tournament, playing the Women Faculty. The members of the All-Star team, selected from all of the girls who participated in the tournament, were. Forwards: Edythe Fitzwater, M. 1. C.; Janie Hug- gins, Alpha Sig; Shirley Burger, Barkatze; Guards, Sue Philp, Alpha Sig; Dorothy Harshaw, Barkatze; and Margaret Aldrich, Alpha Sig. Minor Sports featured the Spring Sports season under the direction of Esther Gasper. Tournaments were held in badminton, ping-pong, bowling, shul- fleboard, and darts. Thelma Oyerly and Dorothy June Masters repre- sented our organization at the Eleventh National Conference of the Athletic Federation of College Women in Goldsboro, North Carolina, held in April. On April 25 and 26, the lecal organization was hostess to the Missouri State Conference of W. A.A. Representatives from the various schools within the state having W. A. A. organizations were present. Lois Gorden was chairman of the very successful Annual Playday, held May 3 for the girls from the High Schools within the Northwest Missouri district.

This women's pep organization was first organized in 1927 to “stand behind our Bearcats” and give them all the support they can. The organization has come up through the years, serving as a boost to athletic teams and good sportsmanship, and con- tributed to the entertainment of the public at ath- letic events. The Peppers give stunts at games, make posters and help with pep rallies. Another aim is to support and bring pep and enthusiasm into all school functions. To start the activities of 1946-47, ten new Peppers were initiated in September, bringing the member- ship to fifty girls, and the initiates wore the colors in true Pepper fashion. The Peppers attended only one out-of-town game this year—in November they went to Warrensburg to see one of the muddiest games of the season. Although the constant down-pour of rain dampened everyone's spirits somewhat, the Peppers, with the other Maryville fans, cheered their team on. It was Page 102 one of those college experiences, long to be remem- bered. In January the Peppers appeared in new uniforms —green skirts and white blazers. These were the result of a long searth for suitable uniforms and with their long-awaited arrival the enthusiasm of the group seemed to increase. Soon after this the Peppers gave their “Rope Skipping stunt at a bas- ketball game At the Home basketball games in January and February, the Peppers helped with the March of Dimes Campaign by carrying the canvas to catch money thrown by spectators. Also at one of the home games the Peppers sponsored a lunch-stand. Throughout the year there were suppers and gel- togethers, In October the group enjoyed a_ chili supper before a football game. The seven Senior girls were honored at a Line Party in March, after which the last meeting was social at Miss Magill's apartment.

The basic qualifications for membership are that students have the desire to attend athletic games and an eagerness to support the team, fair weather or foul, win or lose. This year the organization was converted to its pre-war standards by having boys in its member- ship. During the war years the pep squad con- sisted wholly of girls who, although minus the male vocal power, still cheered the teams on to victory. The added lung power of the returning boys has greatly aided the cheering volume of the group. The Barkatze attended every home football and basketball game. In the fall a bus was chartered for the organization to accompany the football team to Warrensburg. This was a trip that will not be too easily forgotten. It was a rainy day but the Barkatze cheered on! Other activities included the selling of food at a football game, the annual chili supper for new members, and the presentation of stunts during the intermissions as basketball games For the first time since the war the group once again presented its traditional pyramid building stunt. Although the stunt has always gone off to perfection, the crowd was tense while the feminine members scampered up three flights of kneeling boys to lorm a perfect pyramid. The faculty sponsors of the Barkatze are Miss Carruth and Mr. Surrey. Miss Carruth is always with the group, aiding in the cheers and participat- ing in all activities of the organization. Mr. Surrey‘s cheering was restricted to giving a commentary ac- count of the qame, except in a few instances when he accidentally {purposely?) held the mike bottom down and inserted some of his personal feelings. The organization was enhanced this year by hav- ing as its junior member, Miss Shirley Dieterich, who joined the group at games and participated in two of the stunts at basketball games.

Club The Commerce Business Administration Club was first organized on this campus in the winter of 1946-47. The organization has been successful in arousing interest among majors and minors in Commerce and Busi- ness Administration in activities in the Com- merce field. It is the largest organization on the campus, consisting of one hundred eight members. According to the statistics made in the fall of 1946, ninety members of the club were majoring in Commerce. Of all those majoring in Commerce, fifteen were seniors, twenty-one were juniors, eighteen were sophomores, and thirty-fourwere fresh- men. The purposes of this club are to bring about an understanding and interest among the students of the problems and current events of the business world; to bring to the campus more progress with reference to the commerce business field; to develop leader- ship among students going into the business world or teaching; and to provide more so- cial contact between commerce students and faculty members. Typing Class Business Law Class During the year the club enjoyed several interesting activities. The first meeting was a “basketball party,” which helped the members to become better acquainted. At one of the meetings a clever mock trial was given by several members. Mr. Sterling Sur- tey presided as the judge, with Charlotte Spainhower, Raymond McClurg, Gene Polk, and Harvey Lund as the lawyers, At a later meeting Reverend Newton Thompson of Conception Abbey, Conception, Missouri, gave an inspiring address to the club. The subject on which he spoke was “A New Basis of Economic Relations.” An open forum discussion followed the address. The program of the next meeting consisted of a panel discussion of topics in which the group was interested. With the progress the club has made in its infancy, we may be assured that it will con- tinue to develop and spread its influence on the campus.

Dance Club begins its year's activities with a party for freshmen girls who are interested in the dance. Any student is eligible for membership and must attend three-fourths of the practices held dur- ing the fall, winter, or spring quarter. The purpose of Dance Club is to gain a broader appreciation of the dance and to provide self-expression and recre- ation through interpretative dancing. Dues are one dollar per year or thirty-five cents per term, Meet- Page 106 ings are held every Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in room 114. This year's Dance Club has given numbers for various organizations outside the college as well as for the college. Each spring term the Dance Club presents a recital. The dances and costumes are designed by the sponsor, Miss Carruth.
