Mr. Goetze: “O, shusl any key, hut ‘whis-keyV “Man is only half a man until he is married and then he is a very small half.”- Dr. Clark. Student (After hearing an announcement for a joint meeting of the Echo Staff and the Index Staff): “ Where were those two ‘staves’ to meet?” “When did Adam and Eve stop shooting craps?” “When they lost their paradise (pair-o-dice).” New pupil: “ Please, ma’am, in the state where 1 came from they wrapped the potatoes in tissue paper before they planted them.” Teacher (absent-mindedly): “Why, Curtis, why did they do that?” New Pupil (innocently): “To keep the dirt out of the potatoes’ eyes.” + Adra Finegan (addressing Miss Jewett): “Do you want these letters written in a business way or in correct English? Mr. Seitz (at the piano in chorus rehearsal with Ermine Thompson di- recting): “ Miss Thompson, tell the chorus how to pronounce ‘i’ as in sighing while singing. ” Miss Thompson: “All right, can anyone tell me?” Sophomores Fix Up the Mo£t Attractive Room in Which to Entertain the High School Contestants Hurray! for tin Sophs, the widely famous Sophs. During the latter half of the Spring Term the Sophomore Class won for itself an ever lasting honor, one that every Soph may well look hack upon with the greatest egotism. It was on a beautiful rainy day in April that this artistic class, along with the Seniors. Juniors, Fresides and Xon-classified group, started on the most terrific raid that the Normal School offices and homes of faculty members had ever witnessed. There was no slaughter or cross words to record, only some ‘ 1 beat you to it, smiles on the faces of various students as they entered and re-entered the different rooms. Owing to the wonderful tact of the Sophomores in making a room look homelike, it was not necessary for them to raid the Masonic Lodge rooms or more than two of the faculty homes. Be- fore the day had closed the Sophs had converted the practice school office into a cozy room, capable of casting a charm over all who entered. This would not have been possible, however, if it had not been for the hard working Mr. Squires (a member of the class), who insisted on holding the nails while the rest hung the pictures, pennants, etc. Mr. Hayes also deserves mention, since the solidi- ty of his head enabled him to make a remarkable truck for carrying chairs. The girls, too. all deserve mention, but since there are so many of them, let it suffice to say that without their help the room would have looked like- a furni- ture shop. To give a full description of the room would be impossible, however, if Mr. (Haves or any other old bachelor of the Senior Class (or Freshman Class) or any girls who are expecting to make homes in the near future, wish to know the- secrets of a homelike room, any member of the Sophomore ('lass will be de- lighted to give the desired information. —39— CLASSES Freshman Officers Roy Lii.i.ky President Oma Dkakk ’ice-President Anna ('oij.ktt Seen ! :tr•y-Treasurwr Freshman Roll Aldridge, Ruth Allen.

The purpose of this club is to aid its members to become more efficient in public speaking, debating and parliamentary law. The membership is limited to thirty and each candidate is re- quired to sign the following pledge: 1 hereby express my desire to become a member of the Mark Twain Club. I agree to comply with all the fol- lowing requirements: T. I will agree to pay any assessments made by the club. IT. I will attend regularly and promptly all meetings of the club, unless extreme and unavoidable obstacles inter- fere. III. I agree that upon three consecutive absences without excuse my name shall bo dropped from the roll. IV. 1 agree to perform all reasonable duties put upon me by the club. V. 1 agree to prepare conscientiously all my contribu- tions to the program. Signed_________ ____ This prevents the shifting of responsibility and makes each one zealous to do his part toward making the programs of vital interest. The discussion of present day questions is one of the most effective means toward this end. We feel sure that the seed sown in this organization will bear abundant harvest in future years when each member is put on his own initiative in the teaching profession. 1918 STUDENT LIFE Dramatic Club First Row Cochran.

Other plays we have given are “The Devil’s Disciple,” “Mary does First. “You Never Can Tell, “Taming of the Shrew,” “As You Like It. “Merry Wives of Windsor,” and “Hamlet.” (2) Great accomplishments of the present year. Din - ing the present year we have purchased a $50 Liberty Bond, assisted the visiting contestants in their dramatic production on April 25, and have staged these plays: “The Rut,” written by one of our own students; “The Workhouse Ward,” “Spreading the Nows,” “The Gods of the Mount- ain,” “The Great Divide,” and “ King Lear.” (3) Great accomplishments planned for the near future. In the near future we shall stage “Arms and the Man and “The Doll's Mouse.” In addition, we expect to make an artistic stage set for our auditorium and to transform the old Philomathean Hall into a Model Little Theatre. (4) Ultimate aim for the more distant future.

W. Foght, now with the National Bureau of Hdu- cation, at Washington, 1). C. The club was organized for a definite purpose, namely: 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. To accomplish the above named purpose, the club gives programs which endeavor to meet the changing conditions of country life and our complex civilization. In addition to the regular programs, the club during the year, 1917-1918 accepted the invitation to attend the graduating exercises of the Worth- ington High School, and also the invitation to attend a pro- gram of the Literary Society of the Radical Ridge School. Further, in connection with the V. W. ('. A. the club helped to moot trains and to take visitors to their respective places during the Rural Life Conference. In all ways, the club endeavors to live up to its motto: Hold fast the good, and seek the better yet. Walking Club Top How—Kitch, Clark, Lovell. Houston. Second How Mann, l'incaan, H«e l.

STUDENT LIFE Phi Lambda Epsilon CHE Phi Lambda Epsilon Fraternity was founded at Clinton Academy Clinton. Mo., February 12. 1892. The first formal meeting of the new society was held on that date. The first person initiated was K. M. Yiolette. The first year closed with six members. In 1893 a chapter was installed at the Warronsburg State Normal School. In 1891 a chapter was organized in the Normal School at Kirksville. Samuel H. Ellison was the first member initiated. Missouri Gamma Chapter at Kirks- ville has had tin longest continuous existence of any chapter in the Fraternity. Missouri Gamma Chapter has always been able to give a good account of itself in all forms of school activities, and never fails to boost for the school. Bob Hoff and Stephen Paine represented the Fraternity on the football squad last fall. Lloyd Browne, Karl Noel, and “Doc Henry represented the Fra- ternity on the baseball team this spring. Cecil Claves, besides being President of the Student Council, was a member of tin debating team against Cape Girar- deau. The war has called several memljors of the Fraternity to the colors during the past year, and consequently social functions have not been very numerous or elaborate.

She (Ironms about the fires she built when she was a little girl: “Those were beautiful fires Those fires I made on the sand, fhe fires I made in the bank. The little stove holes 1 made in the bank— The fires on which I cooked. And then the fires father made— Around which we sat and dreamed and saw things. Those were just play fires, dear. Mow wonderful the real fire is— How mysterious IIow it pulls us all together!” 2. She dreams about the fireplace she is now building: bet us—all of us girls. Build a place for fire To which we may all come. As a family gathers round the fire, and love is there. So let us have a fireplace That will be to all of us what The fire has been for the home.” 3. She dreams about the woman she is going to be: “Oh! Woman that I am going to be! Don’t forget the place for fire we made! Build it deeper, larger, finer; And build around it all the beautiful, healthful, happy things That woman has always built around the fire where her love was. And this great place for fire shall be to all The symbol for love and protection, For comradeship, for the Spirit of Woman, Bringing her heart’s own love to the fire of humankind.

X S.,having extraordinarily large numbers of men in (lie service and being a school with a rare spirit of fellowship and depth fl J of feeling,, realized her responsibility in a patriotic sense of willing- J ness to sacrifice and during the past year has made a notable record in giving money and time in war work. At the beginning of last summer’s term a Department of National Emergency instruction was estab- lished in addition to the regular school work and outside of the regular school hours. The purpose of this move was to provide instruction in work which was made more important and necessary by our participation in the war. In- struction was given in First Aid to the Injured, Home Care of the Sick, Camp- fire Work, Boy Scout Work, Girl Scout Work, Red Cross Work, and Food Con- servation. The enrollment of the students in the classes was far above what was expected and almost seven hundred received instruction in the different branches. At one of the Assembly periods last summer a call for Red Cross funds was mark and over two hundred dollars was pledged that morning. During the fall term when the big drive for the Second Liberty Loan was on, the time from assembly until noon one morning was given by President Kirk for the students to do their part. SI 1,500 worth of bonds were bought by the faculty and students. All of the college classes and practically all of the other student organizations bought bonds. Not very long after the Liberty Bond Campaign came the V. M. ('. A. Drive for the Students' Friendship Fund. More effort was given in this move- ment than had been given in any other, and faculty cooperation with the Y. M. ('. A. leaders gave it great impetus. When the pledges for this fund were count- ed it was found that the K. S. X. S. students had pledged 82,735. This was a larger amount than any other school in Missouri had pledged excepting the Fniversity. The average amount per capita for all of the students of the school was about 89 and about 81 I for those who pledged. Next came the Armenian Fund. This call was presented at two different Assembly periods and when the contributions came in the amount raised was nearly 8300. The Normal School has one room fitted up for surgical dressing work so that the townswomen and the Normal School girls can work. The response in this activity has been excellent and the girls have made a very large number of surgical dressings. I he K. S. N. S. has a service flag containing 200 stars and there are more to be added. The number grows rapidly ami it will not be long before the 300 mark will be reached. In an Honor Roll list the names and correct addresses of almost all of our men in service are kept on record. The Normal School Index is sent every week to tin men whose addresses we have. At Christmas time the names of all K. S. N. S. men in service were divided among the student body and each soldier received Christmas letters from two of the students. Almost all of these letters were answered with many expressions of gratitude. Those arc some of the most prominent ways in which the Kirksville Normal School has done her part but many other smaller things were done; the Normal School’s part in parades and demonstrations of the city of Kirksville being par- ticularly prominent. —S‘t— ECHOES Our Teacher Dignified Our teacher is a funny soul, She is so unrefined: In tomboy feats, she quite excels All athletes combined. She never thinks to stand up straight. Her shoulders always droop There’s nothing so undignified To which she will not stoop. She has no order in her class; She screams and shouts and cheers I 'lit il the gym with noise resounds And one must hold his oars. However swarms the gym with boys She does not seem to care; To show olT in her gym suit Seems to be her heart's desire. She has no modesty at all. Her ma11nem are quite shocking, You cannot win her favor ’Till you wear a colored stocking. Her love for showy jewelry Is known throughout the town; No girl may go upon the floor Euless she’s loaded down. Her other habits might be passed, But one is quite disgusting. She fills her mouth with chewing-gum Entil it’s nearly bursting. I’pon her skill in popping it. My niem'ry often lingers, But I just cannot stand to see Her pull it with her fingers. ■90— ECHOES 1 he Semi-Centennial Celebration August 2 and 3, 1917 HIFTY years ago Iasi September this institution began its existence. 11 was founded by Joseph Baldwin of Indiana in a frame building and was known as the. Cumberland Academy. After running for three and a half years as a private institution, it was adopted by the State of Missouri as the First District Normal School on Dec. 29, 1870. Two years later the school was moved to the present campus and was housed in what is now known as Baldwin Hall. Because of the great influence which this institution has exerted not only in Missouri but in many other states, especially in the west. and because of the great part which President Baldwin played in the making of the school, it was deemed fitting by the faculty and the students to celebrate the passing of the fiftieth anniversary of the school. Accordingly a joint committee of the faculty and the students was appointed to arrange for the celebration. To this committee were added representatives of the local alumni and of the Commer- cial ( lub of Kirksville. The celebration was held on August 2 and 8, 1917. In response to the announcements sent out by the committee, hundreds of former students gath- ered on the campus and participated in the programs arranged. On the first evening the chief features were addresses by prominent alumni of the school. There was also a roll call of classes with responses from most of them. The speeches the next morning were by prominent representatives of edu- cation in Missouri. At eleven o'clock there occurred the procession of the classes. This was formed in the campus, the alumni marching by classes in chronological order and the student body falling in behind in their respective classes. Interspersed between groups of classes were fourteen floats which presented either scenes in the history of the school or some of its present day activities. The entire ex- pense occurred in arranging for t his procession was borne by contributions which were secured from citizens of Kirksville thru a committee of the Commercial (Mul . The procession made its way thru the public Square and then to the site of the original campus on which had been created a reviewing stand which was occupied by the guests of honor of tla occasion In the afternoon there was a series of short talks by several members of the alumni and letters from about fifty of the alumni who could not attend were read. Bator in the afternoon a baseball game was played between the baseball stars of former years and the team of 1917. At six o’clock a delegation of the alumni visited the two cemeteries of Kirks- ville and there decorated the graves of th ‘ six members of the faculty who are buried there. At each grave words of appreciation were spoken by some one whose life had been directly touched by the member of the faculty who lay therein. The celebration closed with a rendering of Shakespcre’s King Lear at 8:00 o’clock by the Dramatic (Mub of the Normal School. —92— The Classes —01 — ECHOES Riddles In history lie's quite proficient; (':m mum; all deeds unlawful; He makes a speech worth listening to. lint his penmanship is awful.

The Juniors were receiving their diplomas. How proudly 1 walker! up to the platform to get mine. I had completed the ninety-hour course of the Kirksvillc Normal School. I was prepared to teach. 1 had had many wonderful teachers and had been “crammed full of pedagogical theory. Even my practice teaching had been approved. Now 1 was to become famous. I would not he a common teacher. I meant to combine the methods of ancient and mediaeval leaders together with some helpful suggestions of my own (teacher's) and become the best in the world! Me -Socrates, Socrates—me—. The names sounded well together, I thought, and they should be so pronounced some day. Is it any wonder I felt excited? I determined not to neglect the slightest detail. Accordingly I began to prepare for my first school. In imitation of Socrates, I donned the worst soiled, raggedcst clothing I had. and wit h uncombed hair and unwashed face started to school. I thought of dying my hair red in memory of Pestalozzi, but on recalling that his chief attraction was his ugliness, decided that 1 needed no further preparation on that score. When I entered the school room, my pupils gazed at me rather transfixedly, but I only smiled. And then 1 began my teaching. 'flic first class was arithmetic and I took it up with spirit. “How much is 2 times 3? I asked of a promising looking pupil. ‘‘«S? he asked. “That seems to be right 1 asserted in an effort to use the Socratic maicutic method, but was interrupted by a small indignant boy who declared “What a story! 2 times 3 is six! I gave him a reproving smile, to which he paid no attention, and continued my work. It was now time for Language. “ Who can tell me what a cat is? I asked by way of introduction according to previous instructions. “Such ignorance,” exclaimed a pupil in contempt, “I never saw such a teacher.” Plato advocated that a pupil should be given training in that subject alone, to which he seemed particularly adapted. Most of my pupils (especially boys) seemed particularly adapted to throwing articles across the room, which I interpreted as a sign of future (profes- sional) baseball talent and made no effort to stop. Resides 1 remembered that some great psychologist had said no psychosis without neurosis,” or vice versa and 1 concluded that my pupils must be growing very wise. 1 interpreted the aim of education much the same as Aristotle, i. e., to produce happiness. Accordingly when my pupils seemed to enjoy talking and laughing better than work, 1 offered no objection. Besides it seemed to In natural which accorded with Rousseau's views and Pestalozzi said the time of learning was not the time for criticism. 1 endeavored to make use of the principles of induction and deduction, but the only generalization they arrived at was that I was indeed a queer teacher; from which they derived nothing. And my drills on such questions as promptness, were, I am afraid, a failure. From my own schooldays I had ac- quired the habit of lengthy lessons, and when the pupils complained that they had no time to sleep, 1 told them to take time but by no means diminished my assignments. Thru it all 1 maintained a principle taught in the practice school (never punish under any circumstances) and an attempt at Pestalozzi’s principle of love. One morning I was rather delighted to see visitors approaching. 1 was getting famous like Pestalozzi and those young Herbartians were coming to visit mo. 1 was a little disap- pointed to learn that they were school directors who had come to inform me that my services were no longer needed, but took it to mean that my pupils’ education was perfected. I ap- plied for other schools but for one reason and another failed to be accepted. At Inst being short of cash, I was invited to go to a county institution where board was cheap. To my sur- prise and delight many of my former teachers were there, (the Normal School having shut down on account of the war), but oh, how changed! Many of those who had instructed me in certain lines or subjects of teaching, and had talked very sweetly to the children then, were now ECHOES almost heartless. A sloop shouldered old man whom I recognized as one who had forced tor to mark up my entire hook by underlying passages in regard to principles of Teaching, etc., was now as gruff as a bear. Two ladies, both with gray hair, whom I always associated with the practice school and who had formerly so much insisted upon my kindness to little folks, now spent most of their time in quarreling with and abusing the poor little ill-fed wretches at t his plnee. When I sat down to the breakfast table. 1 noticed an old man sitting by me who did not seem to relish his dried carrot soup and instead wished vainly for cantaloupe. While he was not looking, a sn ail boy reached over to help himself to something on the old man's plate, and received a smart rap on the ear. Oh. I reminded him. “I wouldn't feel like slapping a child! Don't yon remember when you used to teach that at the Normal School? Query? he said, putting his finger to his lips in token of silence and batting his eyes rapidly to withhold the tears. That's another story. ” I he Strange Disease of Osteopathitis-Normalitis OMK jieople have an idea that doctors can cure anything. This is not altogether true as shown by the development of a strange disease among the Normal School girls. Notwithstanding the constant nun.I:er of doctors in Kirksville. this deadly plague is growing appalling, and the worst of it is that many of the leading citizens agree that the doctors have no power of cure; that they could net if they would and would not if they could. .Some of the common symptoms of the disease arc: ravishing desire for moonlight walks and picture shows; constant trips to dances and regular visits to the Olympia Gandy Kitchen or Palace Bakery . More serious complications arise when the patient becomes in- fatuated with jewelry and insists upon wearing a ring on her left third linger. IIojk is en- tirely abandoned when she suddenly' decides to change her hoarding place and emigrate to some other state, 1000 miles away. As a result of this catastrophe, each year a number of the fairest Normal School girls fall victim to the disease, and many nkykh recover. The fol- lowing named girls have been stricken this year: Mildred Melvin. Gladys Main, Rita 1 lusted, Esther Harrison, Helen Gardner, Gladys Tuttle, Jewell Duncan. The following named girls are in the last stages: Mary Elizabeth Kiordan, Agnes Cctt- ler, Florence Sublette, Eva Waddill, Halcyon Banning, Eula Bell Roddy.

It was with that slogan in mind that tin staff has worked, economized, and organized material in order to put out a war- time annual that would live up to the reputation of the school. The 1018 Editorial staff has had to cope with conditions previously unknown in our school, but it means much to be able to say “we did our best.” It has been difficult in this time of strict conservation to put out an “advertisement-less” year book; it has meant a great amount of work, strict care, and close attention on the part of many individuals. We have endeavored to plan the book, that space might lx used to the best advantage; to make it smaller without losing any of the good things contained in preceding year books; and to have it portray so clear- ly the life� at K. 8. X. 8. that it would reach the hearts of all 11)18 students of the school. The task has taken much time and labor; the book is at last com- pleted, and now is submitted to those, from whom we care most for ap- proval. We hope to have put out a book that will live; that will find a place for itself in this school year, a year that is never to be forgotten in the history of K. 8. N. S. The staff wishes to thank the Administration for its support, mem- bers of the faculty for their personal interest in the book, and the entire student body for its hearty co-operation. The Editor.
