If by chance, dull students fall into the department, they may be sharpened by the Kmkry that makes every one a lit tle brighter. Although Latin is a dead language, here it seems to be ( Irek.v. No ponies are furnished in Spanish, neither can the students slide through, for there is only one trail to follow, and that is guided by a competent WvLker. There is no wa to Hkvo from a (lerman quiz, so the sooner over, tin better. In the History Department, an F is almost as rare as a Yiolette on Mount McKinley.

Students who have expected to get along in the various departments without effort have been found at the office in a Poole of tears, before they decided to Settle down to study.

A constitution was drawn up by a special committee composed of members of the Council and was submitted to the Council on December 1( , 1915. The constitution was adopted. This constitution is a complete set of rules governing the work of the organization, vesting certain powers in the Council, a Senate, a President-, a Secretary, and a Treasurer. The number of students in the Council is too large to enable that body to perform quickly and with the best results the work of the organization. For this reason the consti- tution provides for :t Senate, which is a representative bod composed of a student repre- sentative from each of such student organizations as the Senate oflieially recognizes, the presidents of t he various classes, the Editor-in-Chiof of the Normal School Index, and the captains of the athletic teams representing the entire school. The Senate meets regularly and conducts business according to the regulations laid down by the constitution. When a measure is passed by tin Senate it is presented to the Student Council, where it is discussed and voted upon, this vote deciding its final adoption. The President, tin Secretary, and the Treasurer are elected by ballot from the Council at large and hold their respective offices in both the Council and the Senate. This year the Senate is composed of twenty-eight of the more advanced students who are vitally interested in the welfare of the school. A few of the big enterprises that have been well planned and successfully carried out will indicate the nature of (he work done by the Student Council through the Senate The greatest event of a social nature for which the Council was responsible was the Athletic Celebration, given on February 2, 1917, in honor of the athletic victories of 1910. The entire program was planned and the celebration managed by the members of the Senate. One of the biggest moves of a business nature was (he completion of a plan by which the State Legislature can be reached through the students of the school. The students wen? organized into county groups, the permanent chairman of each being a member of the Senate and the secretary a student elected from among its own members. Fach secretary, working with a temporary committee of three persons belonging to his county organization, writes to the representative and senator of the district in which his county lies when the Student Senate deems it advisable to do so. Steps have also been taken toward the organization of Kirksville Clubs iu localities where at least five former students are located. The Legislature will also be reached through these organizations. Another plan was completed by which there is to be a simple graduation exercise given during the half-hour of regular morning assembly on the last day of each quarter for stu- dents receiving certificates and diplomas. This does not detract from tin final graduation exercises in May, for all students who have received certificates or diplomas during the year are required to take part in these exercises. One of the most enterprising moves made by the Senate this year was the drawing up of resolutions asking that the State provide money for the erection of a new building, the first of a series of new buildings which will one day occupy the site of the present Kirksville Stato Normal School buildings. These are but a few of the big enterprises that have lx en successfully carried out by the St udent Senate. A wonderful amount of effective work is quickly and easily accomplished through the cooperation of this body with the Administration of the Normal School. —33— 34— PlIIIADIK WkI.I.S Secretary Thk Student Senate Top row. lfft lo right: Wii.UAiis.

President Kirk called a meeting of such students Wednesday morning, October 25, 1916. At this meeting the Senior (Mass of the Kirksville State Normal School was formally organized. Mr. I). E. Neale was elected President, and Miss Phradie W ells Secretary. At a later meeting the list of regular officers was completed The work of the class as an organization was only fairly begun when it was interrupted by the resignation of the President, Mr Neale, who. because of his absence from school, found it impossible to continue the performance of his duties in office. A meeting was therefore called December 14. 1916, and Mr. Roy Inbody was elected to fill out the unex- pired term of Mr. Neale. The class finds itself in the imipue situation of being the first class of its rank to bear the name Senior. Here-to-fore, the 90-Hour (Mass has been designated as the Senior (Mass, but under the new ruling this name is to be applied only to the organization of students who are candidates for the 120-1 lour Diploma. Hence, the Senior (Mass of 1917 enjoys the dis- tinction of being the first class in the Kirksville State Normal School to bear the name, “Senior’’, as that name is commonly applied to college graduates. MMicre is, in fact, “some- thing new under the sun. At this writing the class has a membership of twenty, —a membership which is repre- sentative of the highest and best scholarship in the school. In addition to individual records of high merit the class is proud to recognize in its enrollment six teaching scholars in the various departments of the school, the President and Secretary ot the Student Senate, tin Editor of the Index, with a number of his associates, and a Supervisor of Music in the De- partment of Practice, it is safe to say that the class includes a majority of the leaders of the student thought and activity of the school. In brief it may be said that the class as a unit stands for that which is highest and best in student life. Its ideals are high; its purposes are noble; its aims are being slowly but surely realized. And may the same be ever truly said of the members of the Senior (Mass of 1917!

Wo have evidence of this fact in the Junior Class of 1017—the first 90-Hour Junior (Mass in the history of K. 8. N. S. Wo can not boast of coming up through the three years of our college life to- gether, an unbroken group, but when this class was called together at the beginning of the year for the purpose of organization, we found that for every member wo lost, we had gained one who could amply fill his place. We are not boasting when we say that we have in our class some of the most noted students of K S N S Every member is a lively, am- bitious worker, and one result of the united efforts of the Junior class is this year-book of 1917. It needs no comment. The Echo speaks for itself It was in the accomplishing of this great task that the true class spirit was shown. Every member had a part, and all pulled together as one. Has our class life been all work and no play? sk our Social ( om- mititee. Has it been all play and no work? Ask the voar-book staff. Have we great leaders? We have but to mention the names: Eeupkes, Williams, Perley, Johnson. Graham, Fold, Ryle, Morris, Shouse, and Rogers, when there flashes through the minds of all, thoughts of art, dramatics, debates won, cartoons, oratory, speeches in assembly, delicious “cats,” “the year-book,” music, and love. We have no words by which we can measure the thousand little deeds of the uninentioued ones that will make them live in our hearts forever. They are “great in thought, great in deed, and great in the hearts of their class-mates. ” —51— )UJpis.u | ‘siwmi -j j- Kirksville, Mo. Ruby Wblls. Alpha Sigma Alpha.

S. X S a new class consisting of people and dedicated to the supposition that all “Green Things ” will grow. W e are sometimes referred to as “Freshies, ” but the reason for it we canned tell, for it so often happens that some one of our num- ber is thought to be an upper classman. Wc soon learned that 1' was a very much coveted grade so. we set about to capture a few of them and now we are proud to say that more are given in this class than in any other. In fact it is rumored that: Some are so set in securing t heir F s (case), That the base wears out and leaves by degrees, ’Till when the end of the quarter rolls 'round They greet with a very unpleasant frown The card which bears their grade (or what is left) Which looks a heap like a measly “F.” Though wo have not swallowed a thermometer, we are getting on to the ropes by de- grees. We elected for our President Mr. Roland Zeigel for whom every one will testify that, he is the most thoughtful, broad-minded and gentlemanly man who has ever yet served this class. For our Vice-President, we secured an imported man as the name signifies. Mr. Frank France. As Secretary we selected Miss Helen W ilson, the fair and modest daughter of Mr. Wilson. As Class Historian the honor'was conferred upon Herman II. I laves, (no relation to Rutherford B.). In referring to the largeness of our class someone suggested that quality is far better than quantity. Perhaps so, bul how fortunate it is to be blessed with both. Within the ranks of this wonderful class, which will never be duplicated, you may find scient ists, art ists, musicians, mathematicians, pedagogues, merry-makers, manly-men, maids and mutton heads—all the necessary timber with which to make the senior class � f 1020 second only to the one which we now vision away younder in the misty future in the form of young boys and girls who arc to be trained and inspired to do great things by artists from our own flock Time and space; forbid a more extended narration, but in short, we are just a straight out democratic class who take; no stock in boasting but rather maintain that actions speak louder than words, for it is true that a man of wen ds and not of deeds is like a garden full e t weeds. Now if you do not like us it is because you elo not know us. for true it is that: If wc knew you and you knew “wc,” 'Tis seldom we should disagree. Hut scarcely having yet clasped hand, Both often fail to understand That each intends to do what’s right And treat each other honor bright. How much happier all could be If we knew you and you knew “we. Then let no doubting r lints abide Of firm good faith on either side; Confidence, to each other give. Living ourselv««, let, others live. With pleasant smile and outstretched hand We’ll welcome others to our band. And by this motto we will be more perfect Democracy, For it is then my friend you see, That we’ll know you and you'll know “we.” —70— Top row k“fl to right: Oi.ivk Mrimt. Ions C.

If Henry Clay were still alive, lie would be quick to say. I’m glad I'm a ‘Clayto’. ” At the beginning of the year it was uphill pulling We were not so fortunate as our fellow club, the Wcbsterian. Very few of our old members came back to school in t he fall But the few that did come back got busy and “started the ball rolling. “ It soon picked up some good debating material and the club completed its organization and began work Then another difficulty beset us. Six or seven of pur old stand-ins were out for football and could not be with us during the fall quarter. This, of course, necessitated the “break- ing in” of some raw material. To make a long story short, we “broke in our new members and did some good work while the boys were out for football. Then, when the winter quarter opened up, we were all back “rearing to go. We've been rearing to go” ever since. One of our fellow clubs Still has it over us in numbers, but we have the quality. We believe we can put out the strongest debating team in school and have intimated as much to the other clubs. As we part this year, although we cannot conscientiously say that we have had the year we had in 1915-'10, we can proudly say We have held the fort,” and next year any old “ Claytos coming back to the K S.

Never have we had orators who combined intensity, sin- cerity and eloquence in such a harmonious and appealing style. The knowledge of these sublime traits of this great personality has led to the organiza- tion of a debating club in the K. S. X S for the development of the profound Demos thenonian principles of reasoning. The club for this year has done some good work since reorganization in December. It has increased in membership at sweeping strides. The Dcmosthenonians possess that twentieth century booster spirit coupled with an intense desire to reach out and help the other fellow. These very traits are alone indicative of the future success of the organiza- tion. There is a living nucleus within the club which is certain to produce unlimited results as it develops. As yet the club has not taken up. nor undertaken to promote, any specific principle of thought but it is anticipated in the near future. There is no doubt but that some remarkable ideal will be worked out . by that body of thinking men, which will be of interest and value to mankind. All phases of literary work arc considered by the Dcmosthenonians from humor to philosophy, and all questions are discussed from woman suffrage and prospects of a world wide peace to the proper method of exterminating such household posts as the troublesome cat. There is a spirit of fellowship and of manliness developed within the club which nc ver fails to send a thrill of joy and appreciation through us when we grasp the hand of an alum- nus and he tells us he was once a Demosthenonian. May the Dcmosthenonians increase in numbers and in influence and may those great principles propounded by that one of long ago never cease to be encouraged and developed here within our midst President, Mr Aeschliman Vice-President, Mr. Wilson Secretary, Mr. Finley Treasurer, Mr. Schwartz Senator, Mr. Capps Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr Roberts Curator, Mr. I nfer Index Reporter, Mr. Cornwell it was with some difficulty that a picture of the club could be obtained because of the extreme volubility of some of the members.

The forming of this club was the outgrowth of several successful pro- ductions of classical drama, and the club has continued its high standard by giving the tol- lo wing plays: Dec. 1913, “Christmas Carol , Charles Dickens Pel). 1914, “As You Like It , William Shakespear.

Mo . accepted the position of head janitor of the Kirksvillc J State Normal School. He began his work with only one assistant janitor. During the following ten veal's three men were added to the regular force. In December. 1012, it was decided to lessen the regular force and add students in their stead, thereby giving some good, honest, hard working boys a chance to make their expenses while they were in school. Seeing that the experiment proved a success, Mr. Jack decided to give more students this opportunity. He now lias two regular men besides himself and eleven student janitors doing the work The club assesses each member ten cents (l()c) per month. This money is used to defray the expenses of the annual banquet and any incidental expenses that may occur. The young men who work on the janitor force are rather a remarkable class of students. This is revealed by examining their record Since the above mentioned idea developed thirty-five different boys have been employed in this capacity. Many of these are now holding responsible positions as high school superintendents and principals. One, a grad- uate of this school, is now attending Cornell University. At the present t ime the Presi- dent and Vice-President of the Y M ( A . the President of the Xinetv-Hour Class, the Kditor of tin Index, and three representatives in the Student Senate are janitors. During one quarter of last year the President and Vice-President of the V M ('. A , the President of each of the debating clubs, and the President of both the Thirty and Ninety-Hour Classes were janitors The last three years the President of tin Ninety-Hour Class has been a janitor. Some of the most prominent musicians and athletes have also been members of this organization We rather doubt if any other educational institution of the country has such an organized club of student janitors who can display such qualities and scholarship and who celebrate the holidays with an annual banquet.

Historical Society, which was organized in 1900. has the distinction of being m C eldest departmental society in K S. X. S. It has had a continuous ex- J istence, and is one of the few societies which maintain an organization during the summer term. In order to have only those who are interested in history and make the society a real live one, the membership is limited to twenty-five. The faculty members of the Department of History and the students who are especially interested in history and who have shown a considerable degree of aptitude in history work make up its membership. Regular meetings of the society are held every two weeks. This year has been spent ill the systematic study of Mexico, beginning with the early Indian tribes and coming up to the present-dnv situation. The programs consist of a formal report followed by round- table discussions, and every member is urged to prepare- and enter into these discussions Much enjoyment and benefit is derived from the free and informal work, in which both faculty members and students participate. In addition to the regular programs, the so- ciety tries to secure prominent men who art interested in history to address not only its members but the whole school. For instance, it was through this society that Mr Edgar Hanks, the archaeologist, was secured to give his illustrated lecture, “ A Thousand Miles Down the 'Tigris River . The Historical Society stimulates interest in history, and hopes through its work to encourage students of history and prospectivo teachers of history.

'Hie purpose of tlu organization is to give those persons interested in mathematics an opportunity to meet and discuss important questions relative to mat hematics. The society is one of the strongest organiza- tions of its kind in the school, having sustained a vital interest in its work since it was organized. A brief review of the work of this society during t he school year 191G-'17 shows that results of great value are being derived from its work. Many questions con- cerning ISlemcntary and Secondary Mathc matics are discussed. Also, the lives of many of the great mathematicians are studied. The teachers in tlu Mathematics Department of the Normal School contribute regularly to the programs. This is of great help to the students of the Society who are preparing to teach mathemat- ics. The society is composed of earnest, hard-working students and teachers who are vitally interested in their work. There can lx no doubt about the fact that it will live to maintain its reputation. — 100— Mathematics Society Top row. loft to rinht: Kitkh-on. Fm'i.h. bkic. Jon� .

E. Rvi.k, XT is an undeniable fact that many of our most talented and energetic students on launching out into the world for themselves fail completely because they have not learned to utilize their intellectual capital. A realization of this truth has become so prevalent that a lew of our most enthusiastic students, who believe in a “preventative” rather than a curing medicine, got together to devise a plan to aid our present day students in ('scaping this evil. The result was the organization of t he Public Speaking Club, -Jan. 10, 1917. The practicability of aiding the members to adjust themselves to any and all circum- stances is shown by the method of varying the programs. The club is so designed that at any time the program may be. so arranged as to apply to any phase of life, as for example, a farmers’ organization, alumni banquet or a I'nited States Senate. To insure that the club will never yield to the common failure of “falling into ruts , it is a set purpose of the club to vary the programs continually and to furthei guard this, to elect new officers every month. As an example of the work, at one of the meetings an address was given on “After Dinner Speeches” in which the speaker pointed out clearly tlie principal requisites of an after dinner speech. After a few meetings the remarks made were put into actual practice by the presentation of some real after dinner speeches, assum- ing that a banquet had just been served Addresses on current events are very valuable to the busy students in helping to increase their knowledge of present day problems.

N. S.. but it is “The Club That Lives The Year Round.” It held its first meeting June 19, 1911, in response to a request by President Kirk to which twenty-five stu- dents responded. Prof. H. W. Foght, now with the National Bureau of Edu- cation at Washington. D ( , was largely instrumental in its organization, and J. C. Williams was the first president. The year 19K5-T7 has been the greatest in its history. The mem- bership reached one hundred twenty-seven during the summer. The members of the club are among those regularly enrolled in the Department of Rural Education and others interested in the problems of country life They have chosen for their motto, “Hold Fast the Good and Seek the Better Vet.” The club colors are orange and black. The club has been organized for a definite purpose. Its fundamental aims are to create a wider interest in country life, to help solve some of the problems of rural communities, and to improve the conditions under which rural teachers work. The club hopes through its work to encourage students and teachers in their work in the rural community. The members of the club look back to the year 191 ( -17 with a feeling of joy and pride. Some of the various activities participated in were: interesting programs every Friday evening, a trip to Radical Ridge, and social entertainments, including a delightful evening as the guests of the Kirksville Grange. During the winter quarter, the club arranged for the Dramatic Club to give another production of the rural life play, “ A Vision of tin Home- land”. in order that all of the students might see it. In addition to the regular programs, the club has often invited prominent men in to address its members and visitors in open session Literary societies in the rural districts have accepted invitations to give their programs with the club. a� Hi'kal Sociology Clui� Hack row.

The rest of the members were rather cold with the exception of Mr. Wise, who was sitting on a splinter. When the meeting of the Spanish C'lub was first called only a few came. After Miss Walker had announced that the first meeting of the Club would lx at tin Palace Bakery where she would act as hostess, several more got interested There were about twenty-five members at this meeting at the Palace. A delightful time was had Before coming. Scnoritta Walker invited Mr McKean. She told him plainlv (in Spanish) to come at seven o'clock. He misunderstood and came at six, so he had a long time in which to brush up on his Spanish During the evening little typewritten slips were given to each of the members of the C'lub. On those little slips were little Spanish quotations and their transla- tions. Vlso a large slip of paper was passed around on which everybody had to write a sentence. This was rather amusing when these wore read. After a lot of talking (mostly in Knglish) the Club adjourned with the firm resolution to meet again soon. 'This was not done, however, because of various other attractions which interfered, but no one doubts the fact that there are more good times in store for the Spanish C'lub in tin near future KM) •aw, ivixliJ) ’ahjis(i ’Maria ‘xosamji 'ATni'i ’Aaiiii.iK.in :jqsu oj jjo| ioa iuou � f| ’xowiitvi v|i ’ ”.izia« ;)’jjiaini!)’ !hm | m.hhi ii| 'ti:«mo|| mciii.ij .)-� IV • lqftj I )j« | ‘.«oi -)|P) 1I ' aaviQ NrfM ) ’hsu,| ’xva |. | ‘kvmoxi ’hammim;) ’hmiixvioh ‘ahum,! nqxu u ip| ’.uoj doj, 11.113 HSIW.Is utiterp® Qdb OX tlic afternoon of October third, 1910. a group of music students met and or- ganized a music club, which is now known as “ Futcrpc Club.” The purpose' of this club is to develop a higher appreciation for the best in music. In order i( realize this purpose our programs have been largely a concentrated study of the great Composers, beginning with Palestrina and coming down to the period of opera. While each study has been as complete as seemed practical, we plan a more complete study of the great composers of opera, together with a more personal acquaintance with such operas as Weber’s “ l)er Freischutz . Wagner’s “Lohengrin”. Verdi’s Aida” and Gounod’s Faust ”. These works are mentioned merely to denote the character of our work. The members of the club do not, however, spend all their energies in the study of com posers and musical forms, in such off hand methods as might be suggested by the above dis- cussion They have each taken a part either in the cast or chorus work in the ( hand Opera “A Good Social Hat ”, by Youth, under the direction of Herr Appetite. In the production of this splendid work, the company had marked success from the rise of the curtain on the opening scene, “The Combat with the Buns”, down through the successive scenes. Pickles. Salads”, Fruits”. “(’andy ”, to the drowning of Marshmallow in a pool of hot chocolate, 'fhe only error, if indeed it might be called an error, that was made during the entire per- formance was in the first scene, in the duet between Mr Graham and Miss Wells when they for once took their eyes off the director, and held a long sustained crescendo over a dimin- uendo passage in the finale to the Bun Song.

Through its varied enterprises, the association finds expression for the highest Christian principle, the spirit of altruism The Sunday after- noon meetings exist as a sort of a symposium for men to compare experiences and gel a tighter grip upon problems common to student life. It is a means of sharing with each other the feelings, experiences, and longings of life Through the lecture course provided each year in conjunction with the Association of the A S (), the best talent in music and lectures is brought within the reach of all. Through the Rook Kxehange the entire student body is given an opportunity to secure textbooks at a reasonable price and to dispose of such books as they do not need. A Bible Study ('lass is conducted in which problems most vital to young men are subjected to tin light of Christian teaching, but not in a traditional or dogmatic way Mr McKean leads ibis work. In connection with the V. V. (’ A , a course in “World Call to Personal Service is offered under the leadership of Miss Root of the Department of Rural Education. Every summer from six to ten delegates are sent to the Student Conference at Lake (leneva, W isconsin, where, under the leadership of some of the world's noblest men life takes on a deeper, fuller, richer significance.

R. JACCARD is a very religious man. On lieing asked one day last spring what the purpose of the Agriculture Department was. he began scratching his head. We knew he was trying to recall the above verses of scripture so we print them. This is a noble purpose: it even includes the raising of skimmed milk calves and snakes Wo notice, however, that the “propagation of greenhouse owls is not mentioned. Perhaps that duty rests with another department of the school. Our Agriculture Department, whatever be its purpose, has been strengthened during the past year. There are now three men who devote all of their time to the work. Besides the increase in the teaching force, new equipment in the laboratories and improvements at the State Farm indicate progress. The Fanners’ Short Course held in conjunction with the Rural Life Conference was especially good this year. The Department has been the means of bringing several strong men to Kirksville during the past year. The benefit to fanners and students resulting from talks by such men as V W Merrill and A. Ross Hill cannot be measured in dollars and cents. Wo love our trio of Ag. Profs”. Of course Mr. .Jaccards disposition has become somewhat bilious as a result of having “to care for his own” at home. But we can over- look that He’s a good sport and we're for him. Mr. Kllison has been somewhat of a problem. In the first place we can't tell just how old ho is. Various guesses ranging from i wenty years up to fifty-two have been made, but no decision has been reached. He's mar- ried. though, and that is the most important thing Mr. W right is too well known here to get away with any of the bluffs so characteristic of college professors Anything he ac- complishes corners by the sweat e f his brow. Any erne can easily pick hint out in a crowd (one of his dutie s is testing milk) by the cream on his coat. Mr. Wright p reived bey one I a doubt that he is a diplomat when he worked” the Sharpies Separator Company into furnishing him a milk clarifier to play with. He now has quite a collection of toys. There are all kinds of students taking Agriculture. They range all the way from prop ” s Tool students to osteopaths looking for patients and lady Irienels in t he Normal School We wonder why agriculture is the excuse the latter make use of for being here . It can't be because this particular course is a snap Making garden, testing milk and going on ten-mile hikes te� judge e attlo doesn't sound very snappy”, unless the ten-mile hike comes on a day when the mercury reads 2-1° below. But whatever their reason may be, we are glad te� have them with us they often prove useful in directing the professor's attention to anatomy when the class haven t studied the lesson That eleiosn’t mean that we l not study at all We de� study, and we intend te� make Missouri better from our having taken agriculture in the K.

This speaks well for tin Department, but a new secretary is not all that has been added to the Rural Education Department within the last year Miss Root, who took Mr. Sipple’s place last spring, is winning a permanent place in the hearts of the students by her enthusiasm for everything that points towards progress. We are proud of her at home and we are proud of her when she represents us away from home. Those who heard her at Lincoln this spring were proud to say. “She is from the K. S. X. S’’. Mr. Burrows really needs no comment. He is the “busy man of the faculty . 11 is office hours run into the night, and the latch folds office door hangs on the outside. One has but to visit the Model Rural School shown on the opposite page to become acquainted with Miss Tidier. She has done some things that are really worth while over there this year, and she is willing to tell visitors about her work. Now that the roses (sincere ones) have been passed around, we will proceed with the roasts”. The first thing that must be mentioned is the fact that Mr. Burrows will be bald headed before many moons. There are a number of possible reasons for this. He may be hen-pecked at home, he may be over-working, or he may use too much of his hair to test his razor Passing to tin ladies in this Department, we regret to make the rather painful prophecy that, more than likely. Miss Root and Miss Tidier will die old maids. Mr. Epperson has gone to the rescue of an old maid or two in the English Department, but no one seems to have yet discovered the opportunities in the Department of Rural Educa- tion. About the only advice that can be given is live, in hopes. Several things that have characterized the work of tla Department during the past year might he mentioned, among them the work in Rural Sociology, the record breaking Rural Life Conference and the new class in School Administration: but there can be no more fitting close to the comments on Rural Education than the statement. “There is no ‘Eidling’ around; every student “Burrows’ to the “Root- of things .

If you have, von will appreciate what is to follow much more than you will if you have never had that pleasure. There is no subject that will arouse reminiscences so quickly and easily as one's experiences in the Practice School. The students learn to love (?) the little tots that grace the lower part of the Library Addition, and the children win a permanent place in the hearts of their teachers. Having been asked to write something that would bring back Practice School experiences to “Echo’’ readers, I will recount my own experiences there. I believe they are typical of what one goes through with during three quarters of Practice School work. The scene of my initiation was in the sixth grade rooms. The subject I taught was Composition Before entering upon my work I had resolved to substitute kindness for the rod. I lay awake nights before the eventful first day planning the way in which I would “win the hearts of my children The first day came, and as I entered the sixth grade room on the north side of the hall, the first thing to catch my eye was the bushy head of Homer Phillips. I felt nervous right away, but I decided right there that what Homer needed was love , and proceeded to dish it out to him in full measure. It was hard work keeping the minds of those youngsters on tin lesson that first day. Homer liked love” for a while, but soon «(‘turned to the primitive. I didn’t sleep much that night, nor the next Time went on: Miss .Jewett, my supervisor, was very kind, but my temper was get- ting nasty I smiled and looked sweet ” as long as 1 could, and then one day I broke loose: Homer Phillips, if you don’t act civilized, I’ll .......... Perhaps I’d better skip to my second quarter’s work. This time 1 decided to try the primary grades. I believed 1 surely could “cow those little tots I signed up for a second grade reading and phonies class. There were about as many girls as boys in the class and we were all getting acquainted on the first day when my joy was banished by an order to report to the Primary Office. 1 was the only young man who was doing work in the primary grades and one of the young ladies had a “tuff proposition” This “proposition” was a class of six laggard boys who couldn't keep up with the second grade and needed goading. Miss Kirkbride asked me to take tin hard job and let tin lady” pilot my beloved second graders. It was then and there that I wished to meet the man who invented the word, “chivalry . I acquiesced and began work with a heavy hear! I am not going to give any details concerning my relations with the noted six , hut will only say that Miss Kirkbride was merciful enough to reward my services with an “JO”. My last quarter was with the “gym. boys”. I enjoyed the quarter's work, but on the first day of tin next quarter, when I heard (Jwyn and I nfer marching the boys down the hall to the tune of “Hep! Hep! Hep! , in spite of myself, my lips moved in a silent prayer of thanksgiving. My three quarters were over. i� i ATHKMATK’S itself The Queen of the Sciences as Gauss phraser! it—is the necessary method of all exact investigation. Kepler exclaimed: “The laws of nature are but mathematical thoughts of God.” It may be that not all of the mathematical thought in and around our institution is divinely in- spired. hut we do feel safe in saying that it is very largely the foundation of exact investi- gation. How could it be otherwise when guided, directed, and inspired by (2)2 of the most brilliant mathematicians since Leonardo of Pissa We are even now taking due cognizance of the fact that, as has been said, there are at present very few mathematicians,and that to — oo one rightfully termed such. ( is as evident as 2+2= I. r gg To the inexperienced it may seem that we art; given to dealing in extremes, but only let us give in slight detail something of the personnel of this quartet and all doubts will vanish. First, lot us consider the one who is by some called 'Fite Little Man of the Department, but remember that when they dubbed him such, they were only noticing his physique and did not take into consideration his capacity for grey matter. This remarkable capacity we will now endeavor to show by calculating tin volume of his cranial region. This region may be accurately described as a solid, a plain cross section of which, is a semi-circle and whose bounding curve may be denoted by the equation x -f-2y = ('. The volume, then, of any cross-section of infinitely small thickness may be denoted by x. Since . 2 C—x“ C-Xo2 . under the bounding curve r — y.and y — , we may write o = ); x.

It was formerly suppose� ! that this might be caused by his pining for the fairer sox rather than his close application to study, but since his entrance, last summer, into matrimonial affiliations has in no way allayed the expansion of that bald spot, we feel certain that such cannot be the case In fact, his remarkable concentra- tion is evidenced by the fact that the surface of this spot has already reached the following 2 indie iilxive the ear� proportions, which, since it is a zone of a sphere may be stated as S = ’ i’ 2 I y «lx «' v blue canopy above We might give additional proof of our early statements by solving in detail, for the difference in velocity acquired by the.I unior member of the Department when headed toward Brookfield and when headed toward Kirksville. The accelerating force might also be de- termined. Lven the painstaking patience, accuracy, and stability of the Senior member might be expressed mathematically in terms of his center of gravity But suffice to sav, our beginning statements are already verified. So think all of the students who have com- pleted the Mnthernot'cs (Journey. Plfoygfe ginndl ©HR Science Department of the Kirksville Stale Normal School lias done nothing out of the ordinary during the years 191(5-17. However, a brief review of the nature of the Department and the work that it accomplishes will be of interest to every one. Mr. J. S. Stokes is Chairman of the Division of Science and Professor of Physics and Physiography. All of the courses taught by him an' enriched by a series of lectures on the “Philosophy of Living”. These lectures are not the dry. “canned ” material that is usually delivered in college classes They are based on Mr. Stokes’ own lift' experiences, and he is unusually apt in interweaving the story of his life with the bare facts of science. On first, thought there is, of course, a seeming inconsistency in this combination of Physical Science and Philosophy, but Mr. Stokes readily discovers a connection between subjects which no one else would ever see. For instance, magnetism suggests to him his early courtship and marriage. As a result, he invariably becomes side-tracked at this point. No thorough student of Physics in the Kirksville State Normal School finishes his course without hearing, at least once each quarter, this tender story of how he met her in High School, etc. An- other story which the student never escapes is the story of Mr Stokes' graduation at Har- vard. These are only examples of the many stories employed by Mr. Stokes to give the student an opportunity for rest and often for sleep. By means of the students’ laboratory fee the Physics Laboratory has been handsomely equipped However, the eager student in his struggle for knowledge must satisfy himself with only looking on while Mr. Stokes plays with the material. During most of the day this precious material is guarded by Professor Durbin, who teaches a course in electricity. All students who enter this class have their youthfulness strongly impressed upon them bv the condescension of Professor Durbin'. The course in Chemistry is taught by Mr. Bray. The chief part of the work is the experimental work done in the laboratory. In contrast to the regulations in the Physics Laboratory, the student of Chemistry is allowed free use of all materials in the Chemistry Laboratory. He is allowed to take his Manual and go unguarded into the laboratory where for two periods he can search diligently for material He usually finds none. However, if he does he is allowed to use it freely, the case being that he usually does not use it at all for there is scarcely enough material in the laboratory to perform one experiment well. The one valuable result to tin student is that he learns to develop patience. Imperially is this true in the use of the one pair of scales which the laboratory contains. Silently and uncomplainingly each student awaits his opportunity. The careful student never forgets to deduct one-half of the weight recorded, for the thick coat of dirt on the scales would render the result inaccurate otherwise. There is little wonder under these conditions that a student manages to perform only one experiment in a day. We regret, that we have not sufficient space to dilate further on the excellent qualities of the Science Department. However, wo can say in brief that, as fully equipped for work as this department is, wo have good reason for expecting still greater things in the future than it has ever accomplished in the past 1.17 A Studkxt.

A Itoffls p lUte ftlhi© ! ©§ OWING to the fuel that wo have been asked t« contribute to the “Echo an account of the work done in the History and (Government Department of the Kirks ville State Normal School in 1910-17 wo liavo written this article . First wo want it to be dearly understood that we always make every effort within our power to comply with the requests of our students and we are glad to see that almost all the other departments of tlu school followed our example in promptly submitting their contributions to the “Echo”. At t imes it might appear that we have not shown a proper amount of modesty. However, we have allowed candor to overstep the bounds of modesty in our determination to reveal clearly the advantages of our Department We offer some of the best high school courses given in t he school We believe that students of the tender age of high school students should have a sufficient amount of rest and sleep. Our high school courses are especially adapted to this need. Tired, over- worked students can enter the sanctuary of Mr. Olterson's classes, where, lulled by tho soothing drone and whistling “siss” of his undisturbing voice, they can sleep contentedly for an entire hour. This relieves the student of the unnecessary preparation that is so often exacted by less considerate teachers. The college history course most patronized is the course in “Medieval and Modern History”, taught by Mr Yioletto, Head of the History and Government Department. The first two quarters of the work consist mainly of observation work in the handling of wall maps. By far the most interesting part of the course is the study of the present European situation which is given in the third quarter of the work. You will judge from the following brief outline that the course is as thorough as any given in the History Department. At first, in order to completely upset the student and thoroughly impress him with his own ignorance, a short examination is given on the war. This is followed by a three months raid on the daily newspapers from which every item on the war must be carefully cut and placed in an envelope. The wise student enlists any number of friends in this work. At the close of the quarter Mr Yioletto collects the envelopes and the student goes on his way rejoicing, still thinking that the Kaiser is Connnandcr-in-Chief of the French army. The most dreaded history course is “American ('onstitutional History , taught by Mr. Fair. Mr. Fair, with due consideration for tin health of his students, never assigns more than one volume to In read each night The chief advantage to In gained from the course is the collection of a complete library of American Constitutional History books. The only students entering Mr. Kingsbury’s classes are those who can tolerate his idiosyncrasies and are very much in need of practice in using the library card-case. Toward the last of the year his classes grow smaller because many students find that they have not the physical strength necessary to “tote the large reference books. A new course, Sociology, was introduced into the History Department this year. 'The class is taught by Mr. Rothschild. 'The course is one of the best offered in the school It embraces a very interesting study of social problems In the Fall Quarter a social survey of the conditions of poverty in Kirksvillc was made, and the results published in pamphlet form with the hopes that some real good might result in Kirksvillc as a result of the study. i aft 'I rhiiw ih« . invite them all: lot in the ti le Of knave.� «tire more: my r« k.i and I'll provide”. Tin Banquet Squad was organized as a inert class in food preparat ion last Sent cm I ter. but as time passed our vision enlarged. Having learned a few of the principles underlying the theory of cookery, we were permitted to make our first public appearance in a demonstration of our ability iu preparing and serving a very elaborate seven course banquet to one hundred anti fifty women of the State Federation of Women's Clubs. While performing this pleasurable task, while carting the food from one end of the building to the other. e wen allowed to pass in review before the whole student body assembled in t he auditorium for a mass meeting. The remainder of tin Fall Quarter was very Ixmcfieial as we learned not only the principle of the cooking of carbohydrates and fats, but the process of digestion also, eg: H h II H II H H H H H H II II 11 II =0 CiaIIsiC 02C 112 II—c- -c- -c -C- •C ■C- O -C- C e c C c c C—0—C—H Ci.-.HaiC O2O H CiallatC O2C II2 II H II H H H 11 II H H H II II II II H II H H H H II II II II II II II II II = 0 ( «. � I IeaC'dOtiC'311 . = II—C C c C C C e C ; C c c G c c c -0 -c II | H H H II II 11 II 11 II H (I H H II II ii H II II H II H II H 11 II II H II ll-o H II— c c—c—c—c- -c- -C- -c c c c C c c -0—c h 11 H H II 11 H H H II H H H h 1!

In due time, they having Ihhui faithful in little things, were made rulers over many and were allowed to assist the more experienced girls in serving a banquet to the ” K ” club and their guests February '2. and a week later the Adair County Historical Society. During tin coming Spring Quarter, wc arc anticipating the letter finished products and further perfection of our service, for wc have heart! that we will be given experience in even more elaborate service, in addition to planning and serving a 10c luncheon every week and handing iu every two weeks, ‘in usable form, neatly written on cards”, all possible data concerning food stuffs. Though then has boon much labor involved in serving banquets and though we have sat up until one or two o’clock every night for a week preceding the time our cards were to 1m handed in.and though wc had to prepare and give demonstrations, and though on general cleaning day we worked in the laboratory until five o’clock and on other «lays until four, and though our teachers in other departments gave us looks and words better not repeated, because on account of this work, we were for a time incapacitated in Latin, English and other unimportant subjects, wc know that the course has been so practical that we have gained enough t« compensate for all these evils. We feel that wc have indeed been fortunate iu having such an efficient teacher and one with such personality that no girl of the Department could shirk even through I Ik clean ups or lose her i« mp« r. or say naughty words when the chicken was turned over or when she spilled her chop sucy in the middle of the floor or when the water | oured down from u!m vc to Im inopi cd up. It was the personality of our teacher that enabled us to ’ Kkkp Smii.ino through it all. few of the things which helped us to h« ar the burden were such expressions as follows: Miss Koll (asking Miss Dudley a question): Miss Bailey-Downing-1 )tirham-n-Dudley, what is lcchethin? Miss Dudley: Personified fat. Miss Koll: What is tissue of h« « f? Juan Hanks: Cellulose. Miss Koll: Not unless it’s a paper cow. Miss Koll: Pat biscuits lightly with the butt of the hand. Rebecca Mcgown (a few minutes later): Miss Koll, Pin patting my biscuits with buttered hands. Miss Koll speaking to Mrs Crawford: Mrs. Toes, will you please walk on Crawford?

Of course it wasn't all Manual Training but that was one subject. 1 never got so balled up in mv life. 1 ran from the “gym. to the office, from the office to the Credentials Committee, from there to the Committee on Ivxecss Credits, and goodness knows where else. I am sure ready to hit the tick . Sept. 1 1 Of all the tools and traps and trinkets 1 ever saw, McKean has them over in that squatty building by the greenhouse. We sjxmt the period getting “lined up” and straightened out . Sept. 21—A whole week has passed and 1 haven't kept my diary tip to date. Well. 1 began making a broom holder today. Merev me! I didn't know there was so much science” to the making of a common little old thing like that. First 1 had to draw it”; then I was sent to the lumber room for material to make it with. By the time I got ready to start, the period was up and I bent it Sept. 22 -Got a lecture from McKean on Taking Care of My Tools’’. 1 think he. chose “Ye have been faithful in a few (little) things. I will make thee ruler over many”. Anyway, he brought out the point of tending to little things and I thought he was going to do something with thee ruler in his hand before he got through. 1 was so broke up over it all and my mind was so muddled that I s|x ilcd a nice board, the one 1 was using in making my broom holder. Then 1 began to get “sore . McKean came back my way (he knew i had ”mussed up a lx� ard) but I gave toy head a significant toss and he took the hint and “passed over to the other side . Sept. tt() Nursing a mashed” linger today. I whaled awa and nearly flattened my forefinger out said my Sunday School lesson backwards when I did it. The thing aches! aches! aches!!! Oct. 2.--No Manual Training today—laid up with a mashed finger . Oct. 9 Back at it again. Saw a fellow using a thing to hold a bit with today and I'll swear, I thought it was a stomach pump. 1 got “balled up” on the bits today. Mr. McKean sent me for an auger bit and 1 brought back a gimlet. I can't remember the names of them all. Clot my broomholder finished anyway. Oct. lb—Cut a slice out of my thumb with a draw shave. Hang it all. I'm too tender! I wish I was made of whang leather. Mr. McKean sent me for a brace and 1 supjx scd of course he meant something to drink, and 1 came wagging a bottle of linseed oil buck to him, thinking it was beer or something. I never shall forget the look on his face. The real brace was a thing I never would have guessed. Nov. Still sawing and scraping and shaving and jxmnding and screwing away. Nov. 29 It is all over. No more Manual Training for me that is my last quarter. 1 had the awful- lest dream last night. It was alxmt 10 o’clock in the morning. 1 should judge, when I thought I heard an awful buzzing like- t lie buzzing of stores of saws. Rvery now and t hen a huge hammer came down on some- thing with a crash. As the dream advanced 1 seemed to be standing in the Manual Training room by myself and it was dark all around. 1 peered around and I could plainly see the statue from the cast room walk in. point a finger at me and then say, “ 'i ou kept that little knife . My hair rose. .Just then 1 heard some one Ix-hind me draw a plane across a board with a loud rasping sound and a hammer hit an anvil with a deafening roar. 1 tried to jump out the window, but 1 cut myself miserably and was thrown back into the room w here I lay on my back in a semi-conscious Mute. While lying there on my back 1 became delir- ious and saw a strange vision: The gimlet stabbed the auger bit, The. bevel hit the square; The brace stepped into stop such “vice” And duly got his share. The draw slmve grabbed the sjx ke shave, Aland to make a spoke; The plane tried hard to level things And all went up in smoke (the breakfast bell rang). —M2— ■'M ai.

Ililgert left us and it was mado known that Mr. Selby would lake his placo in the Bookkeeping Department, there were some sighs of relief and some of unpleasant anticipation. Of course TTilgert couldn’t help his nervous disposition. What if he did roll his eyes and look skyward when perplexe� 1? And what if he did break a dater or two once in a while when he forgot and crashed them down on our ink-besmeared samples of bookkeeping? With all his short- comings he wore a pompadour and had light hair. Both of these characteristics indicate a “tame” disposition. But as we let the news soak in that a red headed “prof. ” was com- ing—one who parted his hair we turned white around the gills and our knees smote to- gether. To make a long story short, he came and we like him immensely. He has proven to us that red hair and control of lemper can go together. The work in bookkeeping has been enriched A new textbook was introduced in the fall and the course is more modern than it was. Three cheers for Selby! But just one door farther to the east we had another change at the beginning of the 1910 summer quarter. e had become used to little Miss Hayes and thought no one could (ill her place. Miss Finegan had only been away for a year and the new commerce students were informed by those who knew Miss Finegan that she was “a sweet little girl but the fellow who could got away with an erasure in her typewriting class had yet to be born. She came with the June days and has held the fort in shorthand and typewriting ever since. It really has been quite a treat to watch tlie progress some of the typewriting students have made in argumentation When one saw Miss Finegan come up to Jarmon's machine with a bunch of papers minus the “O. K ” mark he knew there was a rich lesson in debating in store. But we learned to type write and, after all. that was what we were after. Inci- dentally we learned a few live-words. Here is a succession of sounds often heard when our teacher was away: pink pink-pink—pink—pink—punk—punk punk—pank—Oh —! ssssizzzz! In the shorthand room all went well. Of course Johnson tried to get an E out of an everv-ot her-day attendance, but failed to “pull” that coveted letter. When ( V. Ford had a bad lesson he could always blame his roommate (wonder who he was) for coming in late and keeping him awake. Of course no one can do good work when they need sleep. Then, too, Ford was business manager of the year book He and Morris could always lay everything to the dear old “ Echo”. Outside of an outburst of temper from Miss Xewburn now and then, nothing else of importance has happened in shorthand. Now, at the end of the year, we can truthfully say that we have enjoyed the work and have attained consider- able efiiciencv in writing Gregg Shorthand. May those who follow us be inspired by the fact that our footprints left on the sands of the commerce room floors go forward and not backward. —A Commerce Student. II.Mv -il JJKKr.)

The influ- ential man of today must master the art of speech. This means that he must organize his thought through systematic reading and study, and through patient practice acquire complete control of his body as an instrument to be used in conveying his thought. The most efficient means of acquiring ability in extemporaneous speaking is debating. Kftch year tin State Normal Schools at Kirksvillc, Springfield, and ('ape Girardeau enter into debating contests These debates are known as the Inter-Normal School 'Tri- angular Debates. This year the debates will be held on the evening of May 11, the ques- tion for debate being, ‘Resolved, That the failed States should adopt the Canadian Plan for dealing with industrial disputes. By means of two preliminary contests, held near the close of the Winter Quarter, a debating squad of eleven students was chosen This squad composes the class in debating which is given in the Spring Quarter. Later the final teams will be chosen from this squad. The Kirksvillc State Normal School fully realizes the value of debating, and the teams chosen for the final debate always receive the full support of the school. This year the debaters will be given a trophy in the form of a skeleton pin bearing the letters D and K 'This is the first time that any special honor has been conferred upon the Kirksvillc debaters,and it shows that each year the school is becoming more awakened to the fact that debating is of great value and must be encouraged among the students by means of proper recognition of the work of the debaters by the school.

On Friday, February 2, we celebrated our victorious year in baseball, football, track and debating. The Student Senate was the originator of the idea of having some sort of cele- bration in honor of the great year. After a great deal of discussion in that august body, it was decided to have an afternoon program, consisting of speeches by prominent Kirksville men and old alumni, and the presentation of athletic honors with “music in between It was a cold day and the morning classes were hurried along so that all might get an early dinner and a nap (?) before 2:30 o’clock, the time set for the afternoon program to begin. The auditorium had been kept closed for several hours and was nice and cozy '' when several hundred students assembled at 2:30 o’clock. Our old friends, the Kirksville High School Tigers, were there too We had reserved the centre of the balcony for them They were all “dolled” out in their white sweaters (they, too, had won a championship). On the stage were seven footballs and fourteen baseballs, spoils of war, arranged in a very showy manner. President Holbcrt presided, but his modesty forced him to be intro- duced (!) to the audience by Mr. Kirk When the boys, the baseball boys, the football boys, the track man and our debaters, with the speakers of the afternoon, marched onto the stage there was an outburst of sheer “bulldogism from the crowd. Well, to make a long story short, the band played, Professor Zeigel welcomed the visitors, the male quartet sang, being forced to respond with two encores, W ('. McXccly in a well-worded speech gave a brief review of the football season ami presented the sweaters. Honorable .1 O Mills, prosecuting attorney of Adair County, presented “Curly with a loving cup, Curly responded with one of his sensible and heartfelt speeches in which he reviewed the baseball year and praised the baseball “Bulldogs . Hon 10. L. Marshall of Chillicothe, an alumnus of t he school, made a speech in which, having been given author- ity by the Board of Regents and the Student Senate, he officially christened our athletic field, “Kirk Field”, President. Kirk responded with one of his forceful speeches, and the band played again. But that was not all. That night there was held an athletic banquet in the art rooms prepared by the Home IOconomics girls. Here is what they did there: PROGRAM K. O. Jones, Toastmaster ATHLETICS AND MORALS TOAST Rev.

Leo Petreo a catcher, and Earl Dillinger, a fielder, two “K” men of former years, added to the list of old men. The first game of the season was played away from home against the strong Missouri Valley College team of Marshall and resulted in the first, last and only defeat of the “Bulldogs” during the 11)15 season. The next day these same two teams engaged in combat, and, by displaying the true “Bulldog” spirit, the tide of battle turned and our boys were the victors, the seore I icing 10 to 3. The week beginning April 24th was the most critical of the entire season. Four games in as many days wen to be played away from home and against some of the strongest teams in the Conference. Onl one tried and exj erienced pitcher was to be found among the players who departed to uphold the name and fame of the “Bulldogs”. Every evening during those four critical days students and supjwrters of the team eagerly awaited the brief telegraphic reports that wore to tell of victory or defeat. In due time t he follow- ing reports were posted on the window of the “Owl Drug Store”: April 24th, Missouri Wesleyan College 5, K. S. N . S. 7. April 25th, William Jewell College 0, K. S. N. S. 5. April 26th, Tarkio College 12, K. S. . s. 20. April 27th, Maryville State Normal School 1, K. S. N. S. 1. On the morning of April 28th tin , victorious team returned to Kirksville, their invasion of foreign fields at an end and all remaining games of the season were to be played on the home field. The entire student Inxly, practice school, faculty and band met the. team at the train, a parade formed and a grand march through the business streets of our city followed. After the parade the team was given a great ovation in the. auditorium and school was dismissed until one o’clock. On May 5th the jjeople of Kirksville were given the first op| ortunity of the sosison in sec the “Bull- dogs” in action. That afternoon they lined up against the Osteopath team and when the smoke of battle had cleared away their much-praised pitcher, McCrary, who started the game, was found warming the Ixmch and the score board showed the following result: Osteopaths 2, K. S. N. S. 4. Central College invaded “Kirk” Field on theSti. and 9th of May and were defeated in both games by tin scores of 11 to 2 and 6 to 4. These games afforded an opjx rtunity for a t ry-out of two new pitchers, namely Hughes, who pitched the first game, and Graham, w’ , ' ' '! ' second. During the last game Chambers, the captain and shortstop, was hit by a pitched ball and as a result suffered a very severe injury which re- tired him from several games. On May 10t.h the Osteopaths, realizing the loss of our shortstop and captain, sought revenge for their earlier defeat, but again their Southern League pitcher lasted just t wo innings and was relieved by Alexander. But relief runic too late. The “ Bulldogs” were again the victors bv the. scon of 1 to 8. Green, who earlier in the season had been handicapped by sickness, came into his own in this game and won himself a place in the hearts of the fans anil his team mates. May 15th and 16th the strong team from Westminster College, who earlier in the season forced M issouri University into an extra inning game to defeat them by a 2 to 1 score, came to check our winning streak and secure the championship for themselves. The first game Neff let them down with one hit and no scores. During the 9 innings the “Bulldogs” secured 2 runs. The next day the score of two to one was duplicated. Noff also pitched this game, allowing but two hits and striking out 13 men. The third and bust, game with the Osteopaths was played May IS and resulted in a score of 5 to 1. It looked until the Iasi inning as if our opponents would l c shut out , but a scratch hit and an error gave them their lone score. The three Dillinger brothers in the fields played brilliantly and their timely hitting was a big factor in the “Bulldogs’” scoring ability. May 22nd and 23rd brought the season to a close. The Missouri Wesleyan College team came to our field and lost the first game 9 to 0. Griffith, a new man on the. mound for the “Bulldogs , held the visitors in excellent style. The last game was the deciding game of the championship race. I n the early innings t ho 12746275 team played poorly ami displayed tin? | oorest spirit shown throughout tlu season. Missouri Wesleyan secured a big lead, but the substitution of Neff and memories of the fighting spirit of the “bulldogs” brought alxmt the desired change in the spirit. The team became as a unit, the batters began to connect with the ball for hits, and what seemed a certain defeat was turned into a 5 to 1 victor} and the sun that 'lay set on Kirk Field”, the home of the 1910 State Champions.

It' size was a prime requisite in baseball, ”Paley” probably wouldn't anionnt to much. As it is, though, he amounts to considerable. For two years he has performed around second base in a manner to please lx th the fans and the coach, lie is captain of this year's (earn and is expected to play his old position. ” Paley” Is a first class fielder and a pood batter. His si Ai is a source of great trouble to the pitcher, mainly because the pitcher has such a small mark to Shoot at. As a result of this “Paley” gets lots of walks. LEO 11 PETHE13, “Bit! Pbtk St. Joseph, Mo. “Pete” was the champion slugger of the 1919 Champion “ Bulldogs”. His great stick work brought in many a run last spring. Baseball fans will long remember a certain memorable occasion when “Pete” sent the pill over the high south fence and into the lake. The next day against the same team, Missouri Wesleyan, with the championship hanging in the balance, “Pete” drove in the winning runs. II was in the eighth inning, the score stood four to three against us with two out, two on. and “Big Pete” at the bat. The big boy clouted the ball for two I «uses and the championship was won. “Pete” has stood behind the bat for three years, 1911, 1912, and 19la. He will Ik with us again this year. too HOY T. XKVV. “Hoy” Hagarsgrove, Mo. XelT will long live in the hearts of his school- mates as one of the best pitchers K. S. X. S. has ever had. In the pinches XefT was always ready to go in and save the day. Last year lie won from West- minster two days in succession. He humbled the proud and boastful Osteopaths three times, and pitched tin team to victory over the mighty William Jewell it es by a five to nothing score and against Mary- ville by a four to one score. He was undoubtedly the best pitcher in the Conference. Hoy graduated last spring and also played his fourth year on the team. He is teaching in the high school at Hannibal. Mo., t his year. W. T. ORKKX, “Tommy” Goldslierry, Mo. This young chap is eighteen years old and weighs 115 pounds. Last spring he was an unknown quantity to the kirksville fans, but after a few weeks of practice he seemed to be headed for a place on the team. At this particular time he took the measles and had to go home for several days. When he came back lie thought his chances for winning a “ K were about gone, but he went to work harder than ever. When Hill got hurt “Tommy” took short- stop’s position and made good. He was a mightily tickled boy when he got to play enough to win his letter. Tommy” will be out for the team this spring and will make it or make someone else work for it. —170— i LLOYD E. BROWNE, “Buowxik” Kirksvillc, Mo. “Brownie” is an extremely versatile young fel- low to have around on a ball team. lie can play almost any position except perhaps pitcher or «•ateli- er. In 1915 he started out playing l ft field but was soon shifted to third base. Last year he started out to cinch third base but when it became evident that a first sucker must l� c hml, “Brownie” wont to first. “Brownie” is a good, clean fielder, lie is in school this year which � f course means that he will In; out for baseball. JIMMIE DILLINGER, Jimmii:” Roger, Mo. In point of age “Jimmie” is the middle portion of the “ Dillinger” outfield combination, but in point of height he ranks first. “Jimmie” spent his time catching high ones out in right field or in doing the seemingly impossible stunt of doubling his long frame up enough to reach down to the ground for a low one. Last spring was Jimmie's” first year on the team. He will b out this year for a berth on the 1917 team. « —171 — C. . CHA.MBKKS, Biu. Burdin, Mo. ••Bill’s particular hobln is picking up hoi ground- ers Im‘1 ween second and third base and then shooting the ball to first with a fast, sure throw. ••Bill” has played the shortstop position with us for the last three consecutive years. Last year he had the mis- fortune to get hit by a pitched ball in a game with Central College which caused him to miss several games. • Bill” only has one more year to play with the ••Bulldogs . We will Ik sorry when his four years on the team are gone, because a short stop like him isn't picked up in school every day. TIIOM S i : BU-: DILLIXC.KK, •Kaki.k Reger, Mo. Karle is tile Senior mcmlxM of the famous Dil- linger” outfield. He has played two years on the team. His first year was spent around second base, while last year he made himself extremely useful bv catching high flies out in center field. Karle is a good hitter, a good base-runner and an excellent fielder. He is in school this year and of course will Ik out for Basel Kill. 172- - GI.KNN 1)1 IAA NCiKlt, “Glenn” Uegcr, Mo. Glenn” is the junior member of the pillinger”, outfield, hut he didn't let his brothers take all the honors just because they wen the oldest. If you don’t think so, just look at his butt i 11« average. Glenn played a steady game in left field and ranked well tip in front when it came to batting. He captured one of the Shower sticks” offered by Mr. Kirk for home runs. “Glenn” is in school this year. Will then be another Dillinger outfield? KAY BAKTLETT, Baht” Kirksville, Mo. Bart,” otherwise known as laboratory ”, because on one of the trips last year ho innocently referred to a dormitory as a laboratory, was our third baseman last year. Bart is a first rate batter and a good fielder. In one game against the Osteopaths lie got two hits which indeed wore, bitter pills for them. He will not be in school this year, so another third saeker will have to be provided. —173— OTTO (iltAIIAM, “Whiskey” • Whiskey” didn’t make his K” last year, but his noble services in yell leading during the fall en- titles him to a place “with the great , lie was a substitute at “hurling the orb” and will be out for the job again this year in all probability. WALLACE CHAVES, Colonei.” Kirksville, Mo. Colonel” is our famous discus man. lie now holds t he Conference record with a throw of 111 feet made in the state meet at Turkic hist spring. In 1913 he won first place in the same event at the state meet with a throw of 109 feet. The “Colonel's” discus throwing has won him two “K” sweaters and two 1 want iful gold medals. He hopes to set up a record in the discus this spring which will stand for some time. Wallace also played left guard on the football team of 1911. lie graduates this year. He is twenty- six years of age. and weighs 185 pounds. 1910 season opened October 7(1� at Marshall, “Bulldogs” vs M. V. C. At that time the “Bull- 41 . dogs” were an unknown quantity, and judging from the. light they put up, they were no more than inexperienced pups. It was fortunate for Kirksville that Missouri Valley had a weak team, for if they had been strong, all our hojM s would have been blighted then and there. Hut, as it was, Kirksville realized her weakness and went to work in earnest. The next week saw great improvement in tackling, running interference, and carrying the ball. No one conceded vis a chance to beat the Central “Eagles”. The “Bulldogs” had on their fighting clothes that (lay. Tim “Kngles” were also groomed for victory. When the final whistle blew the score stood 19-7 in the “Bulldogs’” favor. “Jim” Bixloy's aggregation of preachers from Cameron were the next to call the “ Bulldogs from their kennel. The latter met the preachers with fear and determination for the preachers had taught us the year before that they were real fighters. The final count stood 20 to 0 in favor of the howling canine bunch. It was in this game that the “Bulldogs” showed their strength. Blue Jay” scout observed the game and, judging from the odds the gamblers wished in Fulton the next week when the “ Bulldogs” visited the saucy birds, the said soft shoe man must have given an unfavorable report. 'l'lie week preceding the Westminster game was a discouraging one. Things didn't go well. The “Bulldogs” didn’t seem to have the pep. 'Flic coach plead, threatened and almost swore to arouse, their anger. It had some effect. They showed signs of tight in Mexico during the workout at Missouri Mili- tary Academy Thursday afternoon, but not enough to give the coach an appetite. On Friday afternoon the delicate appetite of the coach was restored. 'Flic Blue Jays were game birds, but couldn’t stop the ferocious plunges of I yc ami Petree. The result was: “Bulldogs” 2” , “ Blue Jays” 0. 'Fhc skirmish at Westminster sharpened the ever ravenous appetite of the whole squad. The big red delegation from William Jewell came to the “Bulldogs’” kennel November 10th. It was a struggle from beginning to end. The result was inevitable Liberty 12, K. S. X. S. 1 I. One might put in the if’s and and’s of the game, blit 12-1 1 tells the story. 'Fhc “ Bulldogs” next went over to sup with the preachers at Canton, Mo. 'Fhc results of victory had begun to («ill on the “Bulldogs”. They came near meeting their Waterloo at Canton. 'Fhc Iv. S. N. S. boys acquired a habit of fumbling in that game, which almost caused their downfall. The preachers scored early in the. game but never threatened afterwards. The final count stood 12-0 in the “Bulldogs’” favor. The jxxlagogs at Springfield next acted as hostess to the gentle “Buldogs”. The pups still were play- ing in their worst form. Had either of these last two games come a week sooner or a week later, the results would have been different. 'Fhc l ost that the “ Bulldogs” could do was a 0-0 draw at Springfield. Turkey day found the Maryville “Bear Cat?” playing the “Bulldogs”. 'Fhc Maryville ljoys were game, a clean bunch of sports, and did their best to stop the hoarthtss dogs, but being new at the game, they lost by the score 93-0. Thus ended the 1916 season, successful from t he standpoint that nobody exjiecte.d anything from t he “Bulldogs”; successful from the standpoint that they won a state championship, had three men on the All Missouri first team, one. on the second and one on the third; successful from the sland| oinl that the Bull- dogs” played clean football, worked hard, had a good coach and were loyally supported by a loval faculty and student body. —175 w -17� D. E. NEALE—“Dave” Kirkavillc, Mb. “Dave” is a great football man and a great boos- ter for the Purple and the White. In his position at loft tackle last year he played a great game. In fuel, he was chosen for the All-State team. “ Dave always gave his best. There were no oil' days for him. Dave' can't play any more football for us as last year was his fourth year on the team. LEO II. PETREIS— Bus Pete” St. Joseph, Mo. This husky gentleman has been our fttllbaek for the past two seasons. Last season he made full- back on the All-State team. Pete’s” ISN | ounds of bone and muscle will make a dent in almost any line. His specialty last fall was blocking punts. In the game with William Jewell he blocked two punts which virtually won the game for us as touchdowns were made by our boys from each one of them. “ Pete is a good punter and goal kicker and hits the line hard. We lose him this year by graduation. We might wonder who our kicker will lx next fall. In addition to his football and baseball, Pete is also a track man. He won his letter putting the shot in 1913 and again in 1914. Here’s hoping he can win with the shot again this spring. SKDKIC HVE ••Skdm Bcvier, Mo. Sed” lisut won his letter twice in football. In 101'� he played in the line, but last fall lie was shifted to loft half. His ISO pounds of bone, muscle, and grit was a great faetor in the race for the championship last fall. Against William Jewell’s powerful team he was a steady gainer. “Sed is captain-elect for next year's team. Wo can predict a great team for next year with “Sed in the back Held. In addition to his football, “8ed is a shot putter and discus thrower of no mean ability, bust year he won first place with the shot and second place with the discus, in the state meet at Tarkio. CLYDE CASSIDY 'Cassidy'’ Brookfield, Mo. “Cassidy” came to us last fall after having had four years of football in Brookfield High School. While his weight isn't extraordinary, his speed makes him a valuable man in the baekficld. lie played right half last fall. He is a clever kicker as well as a good runner, bast fall in the game against Mary- ville he kicked the ball into the lake twice when kicking goal, after a touchdown had I warn made. A slow, expressive smile spread over the face of the coach after each kick. I7s — ROBERT HOI'K—“Snai'i-kk” Bob played center on the teams of 1015 and 1910. He weighs 172 pounds and is twenty-one years old. “Snapper did his share in making the airtight line that did so much to win the championship last fall. He has two more years to play with the “Bulldogs”. He intends to Ik back next fall ready to defend his place at center against all comers. STEPHEN PAINE ‘ Steve” Kirksville, Mo. “Sieve” is our dependable little quarterback. He was the youngest manon last fall's team, but he played the game anyway. lie is seventeen years old and weighs 142 pounds. “Steve played foot ball one year for Kirksville High School. He intends to be back next fall to help pull down another champion- ship. 179— l. A MO'ITKK • Chkkokkk KMMKTT S. K1XLKY Sum Madison, Mo. Hew is the heaviest man on our last year’s foot- ball team. lie only weighs ‘210 i ounds and is nine- t« 11 years old. The seeond game of football he ever saw was the first game, he played in and he says lie didn't get to see much of it lx cause the fellow in front of him took so much watching. Finley played right guard last year and intends to come back next fall to help turn out another championship team. .Novinger, Mo. “Cherokee , commonly called “Cherry , is twenty years old and weighs 1K0 pounds. This fleet youngster made All-State end last season. He has played right end for K. S. N. S. for the past two years. “Cherry's hobby is smearing up end runs and tearing down the field after a punt and nailing the receiver in his tracks. “Cherry ” can give us two more years of football yet before becoming ineligible to play on a conference team. itli him on the squad, the coach won’t have to worry any about the position of right end. “Look out boys! It’s a fake!” ISO OLA TDK N. DYE ''Litti.k Dye” Bevicr, Mo. •• Little Dye” is so named to «listinguish him from his big, younger brother. ►Scdric.

Last fall was •‘Zcke’s” tirst year with the ‘ Bull- dogs”. In his ] ositiOii at right tackle he played the game every minute. Along with his weight, which is 175 pounds, Zeke’s” looks constitute a great football asset. He has a facial expression to suit every phase of the game. .Some of these expressions are fierce, enough to get the goat of any opponent. Last fall was ‘'Zeke’s” fifth year of football. He played four years for Kirksvillc High School. He is nineteen years old. —I si— .J. K. AKS0HL1MAX -•Johnny” Lancaster, Mo. “Johnny is a blue-eyed German. The great de- sire of his school career has been to win a “K . Last fall he played the game and won out.

ROY INBODY—“Roy” Kirksville, Mo. Roy was the midget of last year's team. Me is twenty-three years old and weighs 135 pounds. He is as hard as a nail and can stand lots of punishment. Roy played one year of football on the Kirksville High School team. On the “Bulldog” team of last year he played a steady game at quarterback. Roy graduates this year, so he will never call signals for K. S. X. S. again. —182— R. R.

Sept. 14 Had to write an essay the first day (ns if we wouldn't have enough composition work in English) on why we are taking this course in Physical Education. I said I took it expecting to In-come more graceful, and to he able to tench swimming. (For it seems, from what the girls say, that this isn't kxacTI.y the same as military drill, though something like it.) Sept. 17—Physical examination. Say, 1 didn't know there were so many bones and things to measure. My strength tests didn’t show very much muscular development, but the teacher said it was evident that my lung capacity was good. She wants us to l e outdoors at least two hours a day, so after school I went for a long walk with Howard T . Sept. 10—I don't s re myself taking any outdoor exercise today. I can scarcely walk and nearly scream every time I go up or down stairs. 1 told Miss V for I thought it might be serious, but she just laughki), and told me to go on exercising the laay muscles and they would soon stop complaining. I have fallen off half a pound since school began. Oct. o We learned a cute folk dance today. I would have got it just swell only I had such a stupid partner. And she had the nerve to toll me that we would get along better if 1 would pay attention to the directions instead of making up stops of my own...........1 wonder if 1 really have Tcrpisshorcan talent. It wouldn’t be bad to be a second Madame Pavlowa, with the world at your feet. I have gained a pound. Oct. 20—Well, 1 can’t swing Indian Clubs. There is no use. Coordination may be important, but I’ve always beard it was better to put your mind on one thing and do it well, I ban to try to carry on several varied activities at the same time. Nov. 1 Basketball is lots of fun. I wished on the new moon last night that I would make inv class team and that we would win the school championship. Then, when I go home Bob can’t brag all the time altout his old football. I am going to play in the spring tennis tournament, too. Miss W said mayl c some public spirited citizen or member of tin alumni would donate a cup, by that time, for the girls to pla for. Perhaps, if I went in for it seriously, I might win a whole cupboard full of cups, like Mary Brown or that Molla Somebody. .Jan. Id Aesthetic dancing is really my forte, I believe. I could dance the American Beauty waltz forever! But it certainly is tiresome, and foolish, it seems to me. to waste so much time on those prelim- inary exercises. She says they are just as necessary as the practice of scales by the pianist, but I never did see the use of them, either. And why don't we have dancing every day? Some of it is hard, but not so hard as that prone falling posture, or doing stunts on the ladder. Pearl likes those things best of all, and Ruth would rather swing Indian Clubs than eat. But, of course, they shine in those exercises. I am sur- prised to find that with all this hard work. I have gained two pounds. 1 believe the scales are wrong.

T©01BDDS We have l oon taught that there is a time during school life when we work for the offered prize, and, that as we grow wiser we work for the joy of working. This is true not only when we work to develop our brains, but also when working to develop our muscles. Although the girls of K. S. N. S. are not offered prizes, such as the much coveted sweaters of the boys for their work in athletics, they, nevertheless, exhibit their athletic spirit in various ways. This spirit was shown in the enthusiasm aroused during the practice tennis tournament played last autumn. Owing to the even-hanging Missouri weather this tournament probably lasted longer than wat well for the nerves of some of the participants, and all matches had not been played until late Xovcml er. The longest and jxjrhaps the most closely contested match was played by Alice Gentry and Jeanne Quintal. Miss Gentry won the first set, 15-13, and was within one point of winning the second when Miss Quintal’s everlasting smile faded into a look of determination and she won t he second set and also the match. Since the finals were between the same players this fall as in 1915, the interest in the match was increased two-fold. But, as before, the invincible Kr-min-y won the match and tournament, defeating Phyllis Bryson (0-2) (0-4). The girls arc expecting to have another tournament in the spring, not a prac- tice tournament, but one deciding the championship among the girls of the school. Those playing in the autumn were l� uisc Derby, Minnie Brott, Tod Kirk, Mabel Crump, Lulu Wil- liams, Kathryn Burton, Alice Gentry, Lena Bowen.

It was probably not the girls’ fault, but was caused by not having some one to star! Ihe'ruove- ment. Last year there was a series of class games played, but outside of t he girls who played, only a few were interested enough to come to the games. 'Phis year, however, girls' basketball look a decided leap towards |K pularity. Some of the old “pep of the K. S. N. S. students, which is always brought forth by the appearance of the “ Bulldogs , was shown in the closely conl stcd class games in this season’s serii� . Three class teams were organized, a High School team, a Freshman team, and a Sophomore team. Edith Cain was elected captain of the High School team, Grace Smoot of the Freshman and Elizabeth Ryle of the Sophomore tennis. A serit� of three games was played, the first, between the High School and Sopho- more teams, the second between the Freshman and High School teams and the third game between the Freshman and Sophomore teams. All three games were closeh contested, the second game being a tie which was played off in extra time. Probably the most pep was shown in the last game. The game was played in the evening in the girls' gymnasium. The ever present school spirit was out in full force. Both teams had good backing, especially the. Sophomore girls. Their class hail organized a rooting squad and had elected a yell leader. The game ended in a victory for the Sophomore team. Although the basketball season was apparently over for the girls, in reality the game did not finish their good times. As soon as they could change their conventional middy blouses and bloomers for their very best clothes they were shown to the Domestic Science rooms, where their coach and director, Miss Williams, had’had a lunch prepared for them. After eating, several speeches were made by different mcml ers of the teams, and finally, one by Miss Williams. The girls feel that they owe a great deal to Miss Williams. She has been the one who has started the enthusiasm among the girls for basketball and who has led the girls through their practices and games and helped them to cultivate a good, wholesome, true athletic spirit towards each other. soiMioMom: haski tu i,i. ti;wi Top row, loll to right: Matlu k.

Violette aLPHA SIGMA ALPHA is a national normal school sorority whose aim is the intellectual, physical, social and moral development of its members. The national organization is directed by a college woman with thirty years of ex- perience in work with and for girls, and each chapter has a faculty member who works with the girls and gives them the benefit of her greater experience and more mature mind Each chapter has also a group of patronesses, representative women of the town, who advise with the faculty member on local problems and who represent types of character, culture and charm, which the undergraduates are urged to attain. Through the sorority the members become interested in the whole movement for the higher education of women and in many problems that confront college girls, problems which faculties cannot solve. Working together in congenial groups gives the girls parliamentary training, some business experience, t he benefit of each other’s help in solving social and moral problems, furnishes social good times to the members while in school and forms close ties of friendship which bind alumnae to each other and to the school The intellectual aim of the sorority is the only one whose attainment is capable of measurement, but the Kirksville chapter can show that since its establishment it has made a record of nearly fifty percent of all grades of F quality. —it� — —106— Mrs. John C.

Williams sxist:mt Business Manager Julius Quigley Assistant Business Manager Edlntoiradl aFTICH considering the matter carefully, we have decided to devote one page to explanations of this book, and advice to the 1918 year book staff. First, there are several things in the 1917 Echo that need explaining. It is a product of the K. S. N. S. student body. We have endeavored to entertain as well as inform our readers. If there is any division of the book whose purpose is not clear, it is probably the division entitled “Departments”. In this part of the book we have attempted to represent something of what has been done in each department during the last year, and at the same time furnish enough fun to hold the interest of the typical year book reader. Year book readers will not read the heavy bulletin-style material They are looking, first of all. for entertainment, and secondly, for then own pictures. The “Department” write-ups are for the most part “roasts”, each department being written by a student who has taken considerable work in that department. There is no cause for offense. A year book is not a bulletin, and we must have our fun. Vc don’t mean half of what we say in our “roasts”. The motto adopted in our “Jokes Department”, which is combined with the advertising at the request of our advertisers, is, “A lukewarm joke is about as interesting as a glass of dish water ” We hereby request those who have been overlooked in the “Jokes” not to be offended. We didn’t have room for all. And, if there is any one who hasn’t yet learned how to take a joke, 1917 is a good year to begin learning. Of course there will be a year book published in 1918 and we wish to give the staff mem- bers the benefit of some of the things “experience’’ has taught us. Please note the fol- lowing points: 1. Organize your class in the early fall and elect your year book staff at once. No staff elected in January can do a book justice and put it in the hands of readers by May. The fall is the richest time of the whole year in which to be silently collecting year book material. 2. Right on the start, set the price of your book high enough so you will not have to charge the organizations for space That was one of our mistakes. 3. Artists and photographers seem agreed on the fact that a plain oval on a plain white page is decidedly the worst way of putting a picture in a year book. Panels or plates are much better. 4. In choosing your photographer and engraver, consider three points, (a) quality, (b) service, (c) price, named in the order of t heir importance. 5. Push your pictures and engraving work; they are the things that hold up a year book. Make definite appointments at the photographer’s, yourself, for every individual and group in school, otherwise, you will never get their pictures taken. (� . Good copy cannot be secured on short notice. Re working on it all year. 7. Don’t start a tenderfoot out after ads. He will lose you money right along. Where a 810 od might have been secured he will get 83 and fix it so you can’t got any more. 8. Don’t be in a hurry about signing an engraving contract; look them all over. 9. Aim about a month ahead of time on everything and you will about hit the mark. 10. To the above add plenty of discretion and diplomacy. 203— The Editor. ■207— 208— Matinee 3 to 5 p. m.

Softer were the strains than the flutter of fairy wings,— gentler than the incense laden zephyrs of Paradise. 1 dared not breathe lest the en- chantment of that Sybilline chorus should be broken, lest the slightest sound or dis- turbance of the atmosphere should make a discordant note in its divine harmony. Slowly the volume increased until a grand crescendo awakened reverberating echoes from the remotest crevices of the universe. Slowly, by insensible gradations, the measure died into reverent silence—a musical si- lence it was, in which the distillation of a pearly dewdrop would have created an in- tolerable din. While my soul trembled on the brink of that heavenly calm the quietude was pierced by a clanging, buzzing, shrieking clamor. All the demons of the nether world reinforced with the syncopations of the latest popular musical hits and the wails of all the fallen angels and men since the days of Lucifer could hardly bo conceded the power of raising such an agony of awesome sound. With a scream of terror 1 sprang into the frigid atmosphere of my room. “When you wore a tu-lip, A sweet yellow tu-lip, And I wore a red, red, ro-o-o-so ” were the words floating in at my open window accompanied by tin clang of an out-of-tune piano which vied with a high- pitched, strident voice in producing un- pleasant tones.

It was evening Professor Bray noticed that the light was out on Mr. Seitz’s auto. “Sir , said the scientist, “your beacon has ceased its function. I didn’t understand”, said Mr. Seitz, stopping his Ford. “Your illuminator”, said Mr. Bray, “is shrouded in unmitigated oblivion.” “But really”, stammered Hans, I “The effulgence of your irridiator has evanced The transversal ether oscilla- tions have been eliminated.” .Just then Crump happened to be passing and shouted, “ He means your glim’s on the blink. ” And Hans lit his light and went on.
