In this spirit the Senior Class desires to leave a brief sketch of its life. The class of 1915 organized with forty-six members, the largest number of clearly eligible Seniors in tin history of the school. Two now members have been added, and several of our number, graduating in February, have gone to assume their labors in other fields. It has been said. “History repeats itself”; but we as a class refuse to believe that any other class has ever been like ours. We are not only the largest class numerically, but we boast of having the greatest athletes, the most alert and successful journalists, the largest number of talented musicians, the most skillful and pleasing exponents of the dramatic art, and a few of the most scholarly young men and women that have ever graduated from this school. Each Senior Class leaves behind it some tradition which has its effect on the reputa- tion of the school and on the activities of the students at large. This is apparent in the trend of the school itself toward better or worse, and is reflected in it customs and daily life, and in the general attitude which is manifested in tin classroom and in tin school as a whole. Ho we assume that the outgoing class has likewise played its part and left its imprint. It is difficult to state definitely what each class contributes. However, we feel that there are a few principles that are worth while for which we have striven. The attitude of the class from the day of organization has been that of harmony and unity and it has endeavored to do those things which make for loyalty, for fairness, and for progress. As other classes have taken their place in tin world, so too shall we; and let us hope that our efforts here, to profit by tin best that our alma mater offers, have not been in vain: but that our labors shall be performed in the spirit of altruism, in the giving back to our fellow men the great lessons we have learned within her walls, always in the name of true service. Such has been our ideal in the past. Throughout the years of our attendance we have tried to do all in our power for the advancement of the school. In future may we continue our endeavors to repay in some measure' the blessings we have received from the dear old K. S. N. S. 33 tEfjc Class Awaken, class of the year '15, And call the roll again. Invoice onr stock and toll the world The wealth we have therein. l-'or the world at largo is not aware Of what our wealth consists. And some no doubt will wrongly think Such thoughts of us as this: “Their wisdom not excessive is. Their years are not mature; They do not lose their sleep to think How they may be demure; They may not wholly honest be. Although I think they are. They do not rack their brains to know Why men will go to war. They will not read a page to find What makes a person free; Hut a trait that makes them worthy is ()rig—i—nal—i—tv. ” Hut this will aid in life's great school Where we will be enrolled. And students in the broader sense. We ll grow as we grow old. And there though not directly taught Hy Alma Mater dear, We know she'll guide us on and on. Support us year by year. And when the class gives its account. A few years from this date. The balance on the credit side Will be due to her and fate. M. K. CHAKi, I’kksidknt of Ci.ass ’15 W. II. BOUCHER. Kihksvm.i.k.

Owing to our originality, personality and occasional hours of study, we now near the end of the third lap. IIow quickly the Freshman and Sopho- more years passed. The Junior year is no exception to this rule laid down. It is but a little time since we were organized, and we arc almost to the close of the real climax of our college life, theJunior year; and the final year when weshall be dignified Seniors, is fast approaching. Our class is made up of twenty-six individuals, who hail from all four directions of the compass. We have, through good fortune and the attractiveness of the organization, had thrown among our number those who will prove to be “Stars in their various nebular communities, including baseball and basketball luminaries, violinists, prima donnas, orators, educators, ministers, governors, large farmers, merchants, railroad officials, steamship line owners, and philanthropists, and all these are endowed with the genuine “Junior Smile. Although the men of the class are scarce, the quality replaces the lacking quantity. As a class, we are independent, and flourish with original ideas on all questions and choose to act on these in our own individual way. at the same time keeping in harmony with the rest of the world. We realize the world demands results, and success is only alloted to us by our accomplishments; and so before the world, as judge, we will be able to demand the sanction of the bench. “Work for what you get and get what you work for is the slogan of this exclusive organization. Wc think it but proper that the reader should know some of the traits and character- istics of the individual members of the class, so we take great pleasure in introducing the Juniors. A3 We are tlu Juniors, brave and true And a happy band are we; We care not for the trials of school Just so we are given F s. We entered school with nervous tread For fear we'd fail to win; We passed the Freshman year all right And commit ted not a sin. In the Sophomore year, we scaled the heights We sot our standards high; Wo hitched our wagon to a star To reach the goal, we tried. We've never cheated in exams Not fearing we’d be caught; Hut plowed right thru the hardest tasks For the lessons they have taught. And now we're Juniors, still with vim Not yet is toiling o'er; We always burn the midnight oil That we may learn still more. Look yonder at the Senior class doing forth in robes of black; We’re glad that we're the Juniors, For we know we're coining back. Now next year, we’ll be Seniors. Ah! the tears fall from our eyes; That means to leave the dear old school, because we're Seniors wise. We’re ever loyal to our school To tin purple and tin white; We believe the K. S. N. S. Always means to treat us right. Now we Juniors ever grateful Wish to thank our teachers kind: They have labored long and truly To help us improve our minds. They have taught not only lessons They have taught us life itself; Showing us by their examples Idle ways are purely pelf. Now we wish to be remembered Not for fame we’ve shed abroad; Hut for honest, earnest efforts That are worthy of applaud. vl II. M. N. NOKL II.

From the begin- ning of his career he was a hojjeless case to his parents. The family being in moderate circum- stances and names at that time lx-ing very scarce, they tacked to him the title of Noel Harper. After doing all within their power and still failing to tame his wild nature they turned him over to the K. S. X. S. and, as often the roughest, stone proves to be the rarest diamond, so this, after a few years of jK)lish. was presented to the World as President Noel Harper Petree of the 00-hour Class of 1915, K.

Echo Editor ijO ihstorp of tlje €lementar) Class CHI' history of the Elementary Class of 1915 had its beginning in this school and various high schools of Northeast Missouri. To examine in detail the lives of all tlie eighty members of this class would be a task too complicated for the mind of the writer; but a brief review of its past life may interest our friends and inspire those who are earnestly striving and hoping that some day they may receive the glad and joyful tidings front the credentials committee that they are eligible to become a member of an Elementary Class. Our class received this joyful news on February 15, 1915. President Kirk met with us on that memorable day of our organization—memorable both to President Kirk and to ourselves; for no doubt the President felt and realized that he was before the most powerful corps of prospective teachers that this institution has ever given her State, and memorable to us Iwcanse we linked our lives together to make 1915 the greatest of all in the history of this school. To accomplish this end we elected as Preisdent. Henry ('. Gardner; Vice-President. George Y. Davis; Secretary, Josephine (Kaye; Treasurer, Hen '1'. Weaver; Athletic Director, Lanins Madsen; Marshal, Walter II. Kyle, and Index Reporter and ‘‘Echo” Editor, John W. Neff. Have we succeeded in making this the banner school year for the K. S. X. S.? Em- phatically. yes! No year in the history of this institution has ever witnessed an Elementary Class with so high a degree of scholarship as this class has maintained. No year has ever witnessed an Elementary Class that has had more active participants in activities such as athletics, dramatization, music and club work than this class of 1915. No class has ever worked for a stronger school spirit or shown more loyalty to President Kirk and tin Faculty than the Elementary Class of 1915. But has work been our only purpose? Not at all! The organization of this class has meant a chain of friendships. I’pon the entrance of a new member a new link was added to each one’s chain of class friends, until now we have eighty in all. Some, we might guess, have considered friendship from different viewpoints; for from appearances it seems that they will Ik class friends “X’ntil death do them part.” The power of prophecy we have not, but the hope of the future is ours. May our tomorrows be as rich in service as our yesterdays have been as students, for Service is our (Ion! in tEo (£ ur fflotto Of all tin great class mottos K'er given from heart or soul. There ne’er could be one greater Than “Service is our goal. ” ( how great, how great is service. Service to our follow man. Our very souls seem nearer heaven W hen we lend a helping hand. Then lend your hand to sonte poor mortal. Who is struggling for a place In the world of his tomorrow; In the track of life's great race. Help the lamp that dimly flickers, Feed it oil and make it flame; It will surely cast your shadows On the greatest walls of fame. Aid the flower that blooms so lowly, Pluck the weeds and help it grow. Aye. such deeds are truly holy. The greatest feats that man can know. Never hesitate or ponder, But just help a friend in need; When you do your friend a kindness You’ve done yourself the greater deed. Now at last, my friends and brothers I repeat and love to tell. When you’ve helped the lives of others. You have helped your lives as well. O. T. B. HKXRY GAR I )X Mil. I’kkkidknt ok Ki.kmkntaky ('i.ass, M � Kixxikntakv ( 'i.a. 'S.

The primary purpose of its existence is to promote clean, virile, square shouldered, Christian manhood. The New Student department of the Association tries at the beginnings of terms to help new students to find rooming places and to get themselves enrolled. The Emplymcnt Bureau attempts to find employment for men who want it. The Book Exchange, while incidentally furnishing a part of the income for the Association, gives an opportunity for students to buy and sell second hand hooks at reasonable prices. The Association in connection with the Y. M. C. A. of the A. S. ()., conducts a Lecture Course of five or six numbers consisting of the very best entertainment available in the way of music, lectures, etc. Although furnished at a nominal cost per ticket the expense for talent alone is about S1200 per year. 'File devotional side of the Y. M. C. A. program comes in in the Bible Study and Mission Study Classes and in tin live, snappy, devotional meetings on Sunday afternoon. Each year also the Association sends out one or more Goscpl Teams consisting of from four to eight Y. M. C. A. men who go to nearby towns to hold a series of evangelistic meetings. Probably the climax of all the efforts to train men for Christian service and to promote clean Chrisitan living comes in the campaign conducted among the men of the institution for decisions to live the Christian lib . It might be interesting to note that among the Y. M. C. A.’s of the state ours ranks among tin first, even ahead of most of the denominational schools, in percentage of men who belong to tin Y. M.

Pre- liminary work was done during the summer and fall. In the winter a manual was prepared, funds were secured, and an organization created and offices opened. Among those active in this initial movement were Mrs. Ernest Thompson- Seton. Dr. and Mrs. L. 11. Gulick, Andrew ( irncgie. John I). Rockefeller. Miss Grace Dodge. Mrs. Russel Sage. Miss Jane Ad dams, Mrs. Sidney Lanier, Judge Lindsey. Walter Page and Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. The Camp Fire is an organization of girls and women to develop the home spirit and to make it dominate the entire community. Hence the ranks are recruited from those who have ability to do and to help rather than from those who need help. It is a means of organizing a girl's daily home life. It shows that romance, beauty and adventure arc to be found on every hand and in wholesome ways; that the daily drudgery may be made to contribute to the beauty of living. It gives boys and girls wholesome, interesting things to do together. It deliberately intends to promote happy social life. It uses lieauti- ful ceremonies, has an appealing ritual and bases rank and honor upon personal attainment, 'there are attractive ceremonial costumes, honor beads, and decorations. It interprets daily things in terms of poetry, symbolism, color and imagination. In November of 1012, at the suggestion of Miss Rrnshcnr, about a dozen of the K. S. X. S. girls organized the Keouk Camp and cl lose for their guardian. Miss Myrtie Van Dcusen. who had received special training from Mrs. Guliek at Teachers’ College of Columbia Inivcrsity. By spring their enrollment had reached the membership limit, so other camps were organized. There are. at present, six camps in the school under the guardianship of some lady member of the faculty. in • cottk (Camp Guardian': Giniogash. .Miss Harriet Howard Past (it iiiha : Agokav.

Publications of tljc Jfirst District formal School tubent publications C1I1S Normal School was twenty-one years old before anything in tlu way of a publication was issued by its students. During these twenty-one years they were accustomed to make more or less extensive use of the columns of tin local weekly newspapers. The “ Normal Column” appeared in the Kirksville Journal and the North Missouri Register regularly for six or seven years during the seventies, and the matter that went into this column was edited by students who were engaged from year to year by the editors of the papers. The Normal Column contained accounts of happen- ings in the school, papers on various subjects, chiefly pedagogical, and occasionally letters from former students. It was discontinued in 1S77 and has never been revived. The honor of getting out the first student publication in this institution belongs to the Practice School or, as it was called in those days, the “Model”. In January, I8S8 there appeared a four-page paper about the size of the Ixdkx called ‘The Model School Head- light. and continued to appear monthly until May of that year. It was edited by pupils in the “ Model ” and was made up largely of contributed articles and a few items of interest about the school. In June of that year one of the rhetorical classes, which were organized in those days for the purpose of giving the students who would not join some literary society some sort of training in public speaking, issued a four-page sheet called the “Mid-Summer.” It was the intention to make this an annual publication, but that was never carried out. Since 1888 several other student publications have lx cn started, most of which ran onl :i vcr short time. In June. 1898. the Zctosophian Literary Society, long since defunct, issued a souvenir publication entitled the Zctosophian Message. It was a paper bound magazine of about thirty pages, filled chiefly with papers that had been written by the members of that society, and accounts of the most important events of the year. The original intention of the society was to issue this publication at the close of each school year, but by the time June, 1894 rolled around it changed its plans and joined with the other two Literary Societies, tin Philomathean and the Senior, in publishing a souvenir volume which was called the “Scn-Zct-Phi,” a term which was formed by joining the initial syllables of the names of the three societies. This too was to become an annual but by the opening of the fall term of the next school year, a monthly magazine was estab- lished which took its place. This monthly |x riodical was called the “Normal Message” and was published during the school year from September, 1891 to April. 1900. Kach issue contained on an average from twenty-five to thirty pages. The editors in chief were in order of service as follows: I'. J. Storm, A. 1). Veal eh, A. H. Smith, B. P. Taylor. A. S. Faulkner, A. B. Pratt, (). II. Lind. NY. II. Ivie. 10. ('. Smith, J. ( Moorman, and J. M. Stello. Publication was suspended in April, 1900 owing to the lack of adequate support. The first illustrated year book, the Mnamcion. was issued in June, 1901. It was due to the enterprise of Mr. Gluey Bondurant who was a student in this school at the time and who personally assumed the heavy financial losses it entailed. It contained the usual 134 picturos of Repents, Faculty, classes, societies, ami athletic teams that are in college awl school annuals. Since this first effort to get out an illustrated annual, a more pretentious year book, called “The Folio”, has been issued three times, the numbers appearing in 1002. 1904. and 1000. The editors in chief were respectively «I. M. Stelle, W. .1. Banning, and K. (). .Jones. No other issues of this annual have appeared until the present one in 1915. During the interval Iwtweon the last and the present issues of “The F.eho there was established the most important and potent publication in the student life of this school, namely, The Kihksville State Normal School Index. The first number appeared March 19. 1909. The credit for the founding of this paper falls very largely to Miss Mary MeCool, now Mrs. F. V. Tinker of Linwood. I'tah, who was at that time a graduate student in this institution. She had long felt the need of a publication that would be an organ of expression of student sentiment and opinion, and after failing to interest her fellow graduate students in a plan to start a weekly paper, she made known the ideas she had to a few of the undergraduates and one or two members of the faculty, and thru their co-operation succeeded in effecting tin Student Publication Association which has successfully maintained the Index from March, 1909 to the present time. The paper is published every week except during the vacation periods. It has taken high rank from the very start in school journalism. The editors in chief and business managers have been as follows: Formiis in C'iiiki Bi-siNKss Managers 1909 (Spring and Summer) 1909- 10 1910 (Summer) 1910- 11 1911 (Spring and Summer) 1911- 12 1912 (Summer) 1912- 13 1913 (Summer) 1913- 14 191 1 (Summer) 1914- 15 ().

For years the only publication maintained by the school was the annual catalog which contained the anouncements regarding the courses of study and the organization of the school. In June, 1902, a quarterly bulletin was begun, and for sometime the four numbers each year were devoted to matters of general interest regarding the school. But in the last few years two or three of the four numbers appearing each year have been edited by those departments that desired to set forth certain ideas or suggestions concerning their work for which no room had been found in the June numl)ers which have regularly contained the syllabi of the various departments. In January, 1915. the Bulletin was changed from a quarterly to a monthly publication in order that greater facilities might be afforded the departments that were seeking to publish separate bulletins devoted to their work, and a Bulletin Committee was appointed to arrange a schedule. The schedule for 1915 is as follows: January, History and Govern- ment; February, Summer Term Announcements: March, German; April, Intension Department; May. Latin: June, Mutual Catalog; July, Art; Migust. Music; September. Mathematics; October. Chemistry; November, English; December. Library. The Rural School Messenger is a monthly publication devoted to the problems of rural education and edited by the Rural Education Department. It was inaugurated in December, 1911 by Mr. II. Y. Foght. who was then Professor of Rural Education in this school but is now of the Bureau of Education at Washington. 130 II. L. M 'll.UA.MS atfjlrtic Committer John R. Kirk James 10.

The present school year is an important one from an at hlet ic standpoint. I hir- ing the fall quarter, the greatest of all college sports, football, was again introduced. From the standpoint of winning games the team was not a successful oiit . but a start was made and the prospects for a winning team next year are exceedingly good. The baseball team for the year 101-1 won second place in t he collegiate association, and this year our, team gives promise of beating tin record of the 101 1 team. The track team that represents us this year is one that will give a good account of itself and the team should bring home many trophies from the.state meet. The students of the school take a keen interest in athletic sports and the school spirit this year far exceeds that of former years. Indications are that nexl year will be the banner year in school athletics. 13« Football Team Bottom row, left to right: U. K. Valentine, Rob’t HolT, W. K. Boucher. Tom Angus, Henry Hoff.

IGasietiaU, 1914 XT is with pride and pleasure that we give the following account of the 191 1 baseball team. !i was a great team and made for itself a name in the con- ference. It easily won second place and missed the championship by only a few points. The team was composed principally of veterans and was under the direct control of Professor Kdwards, who was a very able assistant to Coach Simmons. After much experi- menting in regard to one or two weak spots, the following team was selected: Pitchers, Crookshank. Xcff, Ford; catcher. McFadden; 1st base. Henry; 2nd base. Wilson: S. S.. Chambers; 3rd base, Boucher, (’apt.; outfielders, James, Edwards, Crookshank, Neff. In conditioning this team mention must lie made of Dr. Ogle of A. S. ).. who did much to take the kinks out of the boys’ arms and keep them in good physical condition. The season opened with a game against the A. S. (). Phis game found our pitchers in poor condition. The rest of the team fielded loosely and the doctors easily won tin game by the score of 0-1. A few days later, the same teams played again. By this time, Crook- shank had rounded into form and the teachers won this game by the score 0-2. In the third game of the series, K. S. X. S. began with a rush and scored four runs the first inning. Neff was on the mound and lie pitched great ball until the eighth inning. At this juncture the teachers went up in the air and before they got down the score stood 8-1 in favor of the A. S. ().. and remained so at the close of the game. The fourth and last game of the series was the best. It was a pitcher’s battle between Crookshank and Met Teery. In this game the teachers did most sensational fielding; securing no less than six double plays. The game ended with K. S. X. S. on the long end of a 2-1 score. The team next played a two game series with Central at Fayette. In the first game. K. S. X. S. was outclassed and was defeated, 0-1. On the next day the team came back with a vengeance and easily won the second game by the score of 10-2. Returning home, the team played the best game of the season against the strong William Jewell team from Liberty. The game was a battle royal between Xcff and Masters, and was annexed to K. S. X. S.’s won column. The score was 2-1. The next games were with Westminster of Fulton and the first game was won without much trouble by the teachers although the score was 3-2. The next day proved a bad one for the Xorinal School. The game on their part consisted of muffled flies, booted grounders and overthrows. As a result. Westminster piled up ten scores while we secured only two. Phis is the game that cost K. S. X. S. the championship. A few days later Marshall was met on her home grounds. In these two games, the team recovered their strides and easily won both by the scores of 5-2 and 5-1. So closed a successful season. The second Westminster should have been in the won column. It was the only conference game booted away. We were outplayed at Central and were not beaten because of our errors. Batting Averages Fielding Averages A.B. H. Per. ( ‘bailees E. Per.

Love is a tickling sensation that can't be scratched. Love is a maliciously contagious malady which, however, kills rather from lack of itself than from its possession.

In tlie true sense of the word, '‘flunk” has never been in the vocabulary of the seniors � f this school; that is, they them selves have never known what it is to “flunk”. However, having heard the juniors and freshmen use the word so frequently, they wondered what it meant and immediately looked up its history. In its original form “plucked” was used instead of “flunked . The meaning, as given by Ihe best encyclopedias, is a failure to receive for indifferent study, credit for different study. The first student that ever experienced this sensation was Paul Nicolas at the University of Paris about 1120. The custom of bestowing this mark of in- dividualism was established not only by the teacher of that school, but by law; and the freshmen tell us there are yet teachers who are afraid they will violate that law. From our investigation, we discovered two changes since the term has originated. First, the terminology has been changed from “plucked” to “flunked”. Second, the first victim was a senior and failed to g«‘t his degree, since which time we have not been able to find a parallel con- dition. In fact, we do not see how a senior could be involved in such a situa- tion and yet have justice maintained. We’ve tried to run a gag on everybody but there are some we’ve skipped.
