The “Fighting 500“ believes that the highest efficiency of athletic teams can only be reached and maintained by the united support of the student body. Such support is built upon a genuine appreciation of ex- cellence in athletics. The aim of this organ- ization shall be to demand sportsman like conduct on the part of every participant whether in uniform or on the bleachers. As members of the organization they shall endeavor to prove by fair and hard “root- ing. that their teams are worthy of victory. Their reward shall come through the satis- faction of having promoted good feeling :r inter-collegiate sports. Review ol the Season By Coach McWilliams The 1922 football team of the Kirksville State Teachers College was one of the best, if not the best, football teams ever turned out by the instiution. The team of 1923, led by Captain Paul Miller, was an undefeated team, winning six conference games and tieing two. It divided the M. I. A. A. Championship honors with the teams from William Jewell College and the Springfield State Teachers College. For three successive years the Bull Dogs have shared the Championship honors of the state and during that period have lost but one conference game. The opening of school found eleven letter men answering the call of Coach McWilliams for football candidates. This was the largest number of old letter men ever answering the early season call. With a few weeks of training the team was ready for the first test. The opening contest was played. October 6th. with the team from the Maryville State Teachers College, on the College field. This was Maryvilles third game of the season and they put up a snappy, versatile attack but the Bull Dogs amassed an early lead of eighteen points and held that score until the end of the game. Once Maryville worked the ball down to the two yard line but was unable to score. As a result of this game two things were evident. The Bull Dogs had a wonderful defense and they displayed the best for- ward pass attack shown on the College field in years. The second game was played in Kirksville with the strong Missouri Wesleyan team of Cameron, on October 13th. This was one of the teams that had tied the Bull Dogs for state championship in 1921. Missouri Wesleyan pre- sented one of the strongest lineups faced during the season. The game was a sensation from beginning to end. The Bull Dogs displayed a slashing attack during the first half and amassed thirteen points. On one other occasion the ball was carried across the goal line for an apparent touchdown but was called back on account of a technical violation of a rule. At another moment of the game a beautiful forward pass found its way to the waiting arms of an eligible player who stood on the goal line and far away from an opponent but fate was against the team, the ball was fumbled and an opportunity lost. Missouri Wesleyan displayed a strong de- fense and they depended altogether on an end run for their offensive. It was the best end run formation seen in the conference this year. Time after time the team would break away on this play but the defense of toe Bull Dogs would tighten and Missouri Wesleyan would have to give up pos- session of the ball. On twelve different occasions the Bull Dogs magnificent defense turned back the on rushing oppo- nents. Once Missouri Wesleyan succeeded in slipping by for their only touchdown of the game. The final count was 13 to 7. On October 20th. the Bull Dogs went overland in five crowed automobiles to Canton, a distance of seventy five miles to play the Culver-Stock ton team. This was expected to be one of the easier games of the season but it proved otherwise. Culver-Stock ton played their best game of the season and displayed a wonderful amount of fight. They were unable to gain, making first down but twice during the game. Not once did they threaten to score. However their defense was excellent. On five different occassions the Bull Dogs were within their opponents ten yard line but lacked the necessary punch to take it over. The final outcome of the game was a nothing to nothing score. The Culver-Slockon game was a valuable lesson to the 1922 football team. The team realized the poor showing it made in that game and determined to put forth its best efforts. On November 3rd. the Westminister Blue Jays tried to ruffle the embitered Bull Dog. With both tackles. Wells and Dillard, out of the game the Bull Dogs cut loose with a driving attack and smothered the Blue Jays to a 33 to 7 count. The Armistice day battle was fought against the Central College Eagles, the only conference team to defeat the Bull Dogs during the last three seasons. Just a year previous to this Armistice day game these same Eagles humbled the Bull Dogs in Fayette by a score of 13 to 7. The Bull Dogs sought revenge for the defeat which robbed them of an undisputed championship in 1921. The tield was a sea of mud. Rain fell heavily during the game. The Bull Dogs, not to be denied, plowed their way to a 28 to 6 victory, one of the sweetest victories of the season. On November 18th. on a foreign field ankle deep in mud and in a continuous drizzle of rain, the Bull Dogs faced the “Big Red Team” of William Jewell College in Kansas City. The William Jewell team had shared championship honors with the Bull Dogs the two previous years. These teams had not met on the gridiron since 1917. Neither team had been defeated during the seasons play, each had played one tie game. It was the war cry of the Big Red Team that they had won every football game the team had ever played in Kansas City. The first few minutes of play were decidedly to the advantage of the William Jewell team. Their rooters shouted for a “touchdown” and things looked bad for the defenders of the Purple and White. After a few minutes of play the Teachers lost their nervousness and began to play on even terms with the Preachers. Neither side was able to score in the first half. The Bull Dogs came back strong during the second half and outplayed the Big Red Team at every stage of the game. The William Jewell rooters joyous cry of. “Touchdown” heard during the opening moments of the game was changed to a piteous wail of, “Hold that Line”. Despite the slashing attack of the Bull Dogs the heavy opposing line and the mud prevented them from scoring. Final score Bull Dogs 0 William Jewell 0. A summary of the game follows: First downs. William Jewell 5, Bull Dogs 6. Forward passes tried, William Jewell 11. Bull Dogs 3. Forward passes completed. William Jewell 0, Bull Dogs 1. Fumbles William Jewell 5, Bull Dogs 3. Penalties William Jewell 35 yards, Bull Dogs 20 yards. The next to the last game of the season was played in .Marshall against the Missouri Valley Vikings, championship contenders, until defeated by William Jewell in Liberty 10 to 0. The Missouri Valley game on November 24th. was the hardest fought contest of the season. The Bull Dogs led at the end of the first half by a 3 point margin, a result of Captain Paul Millers 30 yard drop kick. Missouri Valley was at no time dangerous. During the closing minutes of the third quarter a Missouri Valley half back intercepted a forward pass, made to a Kirksville end. eluded the tacklers and raced fifty yards to a touchdown. Hope of victory rose high in the hearts of the Viking rooters. Never before had they won a game of football from the Bull Dogs. They were so sure of victory that their yell leader announced a mass meeting to be held at the Court House at 7:30 P. M. The mass meet ing was never held. With but a few minutes to play the Bull Dogs realized how close they were to defeat. The indomniable will to win spirit that has for years snatched victory from defeat in many a hard-fought Bull Dog contest asserted itself. A for- ward pass, Draper to Hanley, was successful for 20 yards, hut this did not satisfy the fighting Hanley, who tucked the ball under one arm and started for the goal line fifteen yards away. Five tacklers did Hanley evade and by dodging, twisting and squirming, he plunged his way across the goal line for the winning touchdown of the game. Captain Miller’s accurate toe added an extra point. The three remaining minutes of play showed the team at its best. It was reeling off first downs in rapid order and the timekeepers signal stopped one of the most sensational rushes towards the opponents goal line staged this season. The descending sun saw a defeated Viking team go sobbing off t he field of battle while the hilarious Bull Dog rooters celebrated a 10 to 7 victory. The Thanksgiving day game against our ancient rivals from Warrensburg was played in Warrensburg and a 13 to 6 victory for the Bull Dogs brought a fitting close to a glorious season. Charles Draper, All Missouri fullback, was the unanimous choice for captain for the next year. It is almost impossible to state definite facts about the 1923 team but from the best available material it looks as if 1923 is to be the banner year. No more versatile player could have been selected to captain the team than Draper. There are about 20 letter men who should be in school next year. Several high school stars of northeast Missouri high schools will be freshmen in college then. There are several near letter men who by next season will be able to make any team in the state. With the available material, with a new gymnasium equipped with the most modern of lockers, showers, and train- ing rooms, and with a rooting organization that bids fair to surpass anything that the school has turned out in the pass is it any wonder that hopes are high for an undefeated 1923 team. SELDON HUTCHINSON—Weight 17:5 pounds; age 21. “Hutch” has made the all-state team for the last three years. At left guard for the last four years he has defended the Purple and White with the grit and courage befitting a true Bulldog. “Hutch” required more men to stop him than any other man in the confer- ence. He was always in condition and the best trainer and hardest working man on the squad. STAXf.Y HAYDEN—Weight 175 pounds; age 25. “Stan” after playing on the scrubs for the first half of the season was soon one of the first string men. He played a strong center. WARD COWELL -Weight 147 pounds; age 20. “Si” was handicapped about the middle of the season with an in jured shoulder. He came to us with two years’ experience at Kemper Military Academy. Despite his injury, he proved that he knew football and could deliver the goods. Other M.I.A.A. football teams will need to watch him next year. CHARLEY DRAPER—Weight 170 pounds; age 23. “Beetle,” captain-elect, is a football star of the conference. He is an excellent passer, punter and line plunger. At quarterback on the defense he had no equal in the college circuit and at offensive fullback, he was a tower of strength. “Beetle” has the unique record of playing every minute of all the games, winning the place of halfback on the mythical team. JOHN FARMER Weight 100 pounds; age 25. John, at halfback and quarterback, displayed some of the old “pep” and fight that he manifested in nineteen seventeen. When he got the ball on a line plunge, the opposing line gave way or one of the men called for time out. GEORGE THOMAS- Weight 180 pounds; age 25. “Red,” our trusty right guard, appeared on the K.S.T.C. gridiron for the first time this season. He had the old fighting spirit that puts “pep” into teammates and fear in the hearts of the opponents. OTIS WILLIAMSON Weight 157 pounds; age 22. “Iiill” is a line plunging halfback that is hard to stop. On a muddy field in the game against Central he starred by making several long runs, and by carrying the ball over l'or two of the four touchdowns. SAM LILLARD—Weight 179 pounds; age 20. This is Sam’s second year on the team. At tackle he was one of the strongest men in the line. Not one time in any game did he loaf, although handicapped by an injured ankle during the greater part of the season. CHARLEY COWELL—Weight 157 pounds; age 22. “Charley, at guard or end. could be depended upon to use his head at all times. He was one of the hardest hitting men on the team. With his characteristic wit, ho kept the squad in a splendid spirit. BENNIE WELLS -Weight 170 pounds; age 23. “Benny has been on the team for three years. He plays end and tackle equally well, and is especially good at breaking up end runs before they get started. When Bennie hits a man, substitution is usually the next thing in order. SAM SPROUT—Weight 195 pounds; age 19. This is “Red’s first year on the team. He was immovable at center on the defense, and made some excellent passes. He showed some of the real “stuff on a muddy field in the game against William Jewel at Kansas City. OLIN OWEN—Weight 147 pounds; age 22. Although one of the lightest men on the team, by persistent training and his thorough knowledge of the game, “Chick” won a position at halfback, where he looked mighty good on line plunges and end runs. “DOC” WKTZEL was one of the first to be in the dressing room and always the last to leave. lie was ever anxious and eager to do anything for the boys. After a short time under the care of “Doc.” a sick or injured man was ready to go out and light. His encourag- ing way had a lot to do to keep the team in a lighting spirit. PAUL MiLLKK Weight. 152 pounds; age 23. “Captain Miller.” quarterback and popular leader of the Bulldogs, received honorable mention for halfback on the all-state team. This is Paul’s third year with the Bulldogs. For two years he played center, but this year he was shifted to quarterback. He proved a good field general and developed into a line plunger of the first class. His splendid drop kicking was an important factor in the scoring power of the Bulldogs. “CURLY McWILLIAMS—best football coach in the state, beloved by his men, and greatly feared and respected by his football enemies. He knows the game from A to , and verily lives it; standing for clean sportsmanship, a square deal, and a hard fight the kind of fight that a real Bulldog, who would die rather than loosen his grip, puts up. “DOC” CURTIS was a man that put in a lot of hard work keeping the men in shape. He was always anxious to do all in his power to help keep away sore spots and serious injuries, thus helping in a large way to win the games. SMITH REED—weight 105 pounds; age 21 years. This is Smith’s second year at end for the K. S. T. C. He is es- pecially good at making long runs for forward passes. With two more years to play, we believe he can make a record hard to heat. WILLIAM BOLES—weight 149 pounds; age 21 years. “Bill’ is one of the best punters in the conference, and makes end runs like a streak of lightning. As a receiver of forward passes, he is unequalled. He received the position of halfback on the all-state second team. EMIL LEHR—weight 1 (17 pounds; age 19 years. “Punk” is a man that tears up the line. At center or left tackle he could always be depended upon to produce a drive that could not be stopped. This is his first year on the team, but four years from now we can expect him wearing four K. S. T. ('. service stripes. OSCAR HANLEY weight 158 pounds; age 22 years. “Jack”, our swift left end, was the' star of the Missouri Valley game. The game was about to end when he reached up and grabbed a forward pass, shook off four tacklers and ran for a touchdown. We believe that the conference will need some mighty good ends next year to keep “Jack” from the all-state team. Basketball 1D2M li.t Kow Capps, Norris, Lehr. Rowels. Xml Row Cowell.

Review of the Haskefball Season The 1923 basket ball season opened with five letter men. and a group of high school basket ball stars reporting for practice. The five letter men were Capps, Norris, Bowels. Drescher, and Barnard. The new men were Wells, Hunt and Lehr from Kirksville High School and Si Cowell from Kemper Military Academy. After a few weeks preliminary practice, the Bulldogs rapidly rounded into shape for the hardest basket ball work K. S. T. C. has ever scheduled. Fifteen conference games and one non-conference game were played, six games being played at home and ten on foreign courts. The Bulldogs won RENE I). HUNT—•‘Hunt”; Center. Age 19. Height, (5 feet.

(“Dubbs”) Barnard, Jr. was elected captain of the team. The season opened January 19, with the Bulldogs winning from Maryville 21 to 19, after an extra five minutes of play. After a week of rest the team journed to Canton and defeated Culver-Stockton 30 to 28. The Bulldogs met and defeated on the home court, Culver- Stockton 26 to 14, William Jewell 27 to 20, and Warrensburg 31 to 22. this game being the first basket ball game ever won by the Bulldogs from the Warrensburg “Mules”. Missouri Wesleyan invaded our lair and went away with the large end of a 20 to 19 score. After the Missouri Wesleyan game the Bulldogs left on a four day trip, playing and defeating Chillicothe Business Col- W. L. BARNARD Dubbs” (Cuplam); Guard. Age 19. Height, 5 feet 7 inches.

C. 20 to 14, but losing to Mary- ville and William Jewell by the close scores of 22 to 21 and 24 to 19 respectively. On the last night of the trip the Bulldogs tangled with the Missouri Wesleyan “Possums” and avenged the defeat inflicted by that team on the home court, by ex- tracting a 35 to 12 victory from Mr. “Possum”. The Bulldogs returned home and defeated the Bella Miners 26 to 23. Practice continued during the adjournment of school between the winter and spring quarters. The Bull Dogs during this adjournment took their second road trip of the year, playing the teams in the southern section of the state. In the first game of the trip the Bulldogs were defeated by the undefeated Central Wesleyan Championship team, by “DOC BUM” GLKNX—“Doc” helped to keep the boys in shape. He was always on hand and looking out for the hoys. .Many thanks are due “Doc”. h. l. McWilliams—“Coach”. “Coach” is one of the best basketball coaches in the State. He trains his men to play good, hard, clean basketball. His players hold him in the greatest respect. With a big and new gymnasium, “Coach” should develop some first-class basket ball teams. the close score of 34 to 30. In this game the Bulldogs out- scored their opponents in the number of held goals made, but losing on foul goals. The team played Rolla Miners at Rolla and lost 31 to 28. again out scoring their opponents in field goals but losing on fouls. From Rolla the Bulldogs journeyed to Springfield for a three game series in that city, playing Drury one game and the Springfield Teachers two. Drury was defeated 15 to 14, but the Bulldogs suffered their two worst defeats of the season at the hands of the Springfield “Bears” losing 44 to 21 and 36 to 21. The Bulldogs thus closing the 1923 Basket Ball season with eight victories and seven defeats. Basket ball during the ’23 season was more loyally and enthusiastically supported by the student body and friends of the school than ever before. The gymnasium at each game was crowded to its capacity, and the support given the team was the best ever. The rooting by our students was much peppier than that in any of the colleges visited by the Bulldogs. Top Row Banner, Norris (Conch). Barnhart. Mi l il - How Ilolcman. Bie by, Kemp, Moore, Kircert.

They met all the trains and in- vited the high school students to come over to the cottage. Of course all growing youngsters are always hungry so “.Ma had baked up a huge supply of sugar cookies and she kept the jar full all the time. The cottage had a number of things to keep the children amused and contented. One afternoon they were very good so “Pa” showed them the family album. Some of the pictures were very good, even if the pages of the album did stick to- gether. There was old “Aunt Dinah , and the twins, and an Old M----- I mean a Maiden Aunt (whose “specs would per- sist. in falling off.) There were ever so many others but 1 can’t remember them. “Little Willie” played with the children and they all had a good time. (They should have, for he had the most candy.) Of course “Willie’s” playmates helped him to entertain his little visitors. I heard them say they wished that they could have more parties. “Pa’s” and “Ma’s” neighbors all liked to come over to the cottage to visit because it was so homelike and comfortable. The whole cottage just “put itself out” to make all the visitors welcome. The high school students expressed themselves as being glad we came, and sure coming again the next chance we get’. 0. I� . C. Ilioh School Track Meet 1923 “Oh, look at the new buildings.” Every high school student who had been here to the meet in 1922 exclaimed over these magnificent additions to our campus. The high school meet this year.’ was indeed the most successful, as well as the most stupendous one that has ever been held. There is a growing tendency on the part of the high school people to put more stress on the scholastic side of their training than formerly was done. A number of new contests were added, among them was the Latin contest. It was really surprising, the number of entries to that contest. Very good work was done in all contests. All of the departments interested in the various contests expressed themselves as being well pleased at the advance in quality of the work the contestants do each year. It is indicative of very careful scienti lie instruction. Athletics have not been neglected. Six records were broken. Newark, a school having only ten boys enrolled, entered six of them and won the meet. Yea Newark! The college classes entertained their guests very cordially; the novel thing about the entertainment being that the hosts were as little acquainted with their place of entertainment as their guests were. The entertaining was done in the various rooms of the “Ophelia Parrish School”. Every one seemed to consider the meet a big success. The last thing we heard was. “Good bye. See you next year”. C. B. C. The Junior ('lass has shown a great deal of originality in former years in creating something unique in the way of Rest Rooms in which to entertain our visitors during the N. E. Missouri High School meet. But this year the acme of per- fection was achieved when Bruin Lodge threw open its hospi- table doors to the visitors. The room was located on the second floor of the Ophelia Parrish Demonstration School. The atmosphere of a hunting lodge was obtained by using rustic furniture. Indian blankets, skins and stuffed birds adorned the floor and walls. A lire place was kept going and gave the room a very cheerful ap- pearance. This room was awarded the prize, receiving the biggest score on hospitality. The Juniors have carried off the prize for three successive years and we wonder what they will do next year? Will they keep up their pep? Tennis Champions Wilhma RafFensperger “Irish” and Mary Rristoe returned from the state meet proudly carrying the cup for girls doubles. I ntor-Class Basketbnl I Much interest has been manifested this year in inter-class basket ball. Kach Kami was well played, everyone was enthusiastic. The frames consisted each of seven innings with Miss Margaret Stewart. Director of Physical Education, as referee. The first inter-class game was the Freshman-Senior. This game was played March 30, resulting in a score of 30-10 in favor of the Seniors. The second game was the Junior-Senior, held April 4, the Seniors again capturing the large end of a 8-30 score. The third game. April 0. was the Freshman-Sophomore with a score of 24-30 in favor of the Sophomores, and in the fourth game, April 11. the Sophomore- Junior, the Sophomores again won in a 40-19 score. Much excitement was manifested toward the close of the series as conditions soon made manifest that the games would end with a tie between the Seniors and the Sophomores. NOI.A AUSTIN Assistant I’vnfi'j.sor of Physical Education for Women Girls Athletic Club The entire year has witnessed increasing interest in Girls’ Athletics. Each quarter tournaments have been held; in the fall quarter, the volley ball tournament, resulting in a tie between the Seniors and the Sophomores; in the winter quarter, the basket ball tournament, the Freshmen carrying away first honors; and in the spring quarter, the base ball tournament, resulting in a lie between the Seniors and the Sophomores. During the summer a base ball tournament is being held. The Girls’ Athletic Club has had a large membership throughout the year. A camping trip, extending from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning, was taken by twenty members, who enjoyed a delightful recreation at Love Lake. Two gym parties have been given, with an attendance each time of near fifty people. These parties were given near the close of the spring quarter and at the beginning of the summer quarter. Eight or ten hikes have been taken during the year, and plays and games have been studied, discussed, and put into practical operation during meetings of the Athletic Club. Two K’s have been awarded to Mildred Lindahl and Nola Austin respectively, while eight are to be given the summer quarter. During the winter a Field Service was organized whereby girls in the field who are members of the Athletic Club had opportunity to earn points for a K or a chevron. The Girls’ Athletic Field is to be completed by the fall quarter of school, and greater results are predicted for the coming year. The treasury is in very good condition, and during the coming fall quarter, much new equipment is to be purchased, including equipment for playing tether tennis. In view of these advantages there is expected an increased activity this fall in Gills’ Athletics. Minor At h lot i cm The summer gym classes under the direction of Russell Lilley soon became masters of hand balancing, bar work and tumbling. Wrestling and boxing were also given. Daily work outs in these manly arts of self defense soon developed several Strangler Lewis’, Jack Dempseys’ and last but not least, blue eyes. BI.MA 1 001 .h K«ici trnr JOHN JACK Head Janitor Kdue.jil ion The Department of Education in a teachers college must necessarily have a three-fold purpose. Tn the first place such a department must furnish opportunity for study of the best in modern theories of education. Second, such a department must furnish abundant opportuniy for observation of good teaching whereby good theory and practice is demonstrated; and last a department of education must furnish facilities for participation in the act of teaching under the watchful care and the expert help of special supervisors. Tne study of theory and procedure in modern education involve courses of Psychology. Sociology, Administration, Supervision and Technique. It is the prime purpose in all of these courses to study and investigate with a view to making use of the prin- ciples that have proven worthwhile and reliable in school work. For a long time it was felt that in teaching we learn to do best by doing. But recent studies and investigations show that we must precede actual class-room teaching experience with well directed courses in the observation of teaching. With that end in view we have just completed a modern ob- servation school building on the college campus. It has ample facilities for many hundreds of students to observe the best of teaching in all of the grades and in the junior high school. For many years this department of education has maintained strong individualistic courses in the rural aspects of educa- tion. During the past two years we have established definite observation centers in rural schools. Members of the depart- ment faculty have gone to these rural centers from time to time and have given a series of lessons for observation pur- poses. It is hoped that many more of these centers can he established in the rural schools soon. Another activity of this department of education is the helping teacher work. One member of our faculty spends full time out in the field helping elementary teachers to solve their immediate problems, while another member spends half time helping high school principles and teachers. This de- partment of education believes that the improvement of teachers while they are actually at work in the field is a very necessary kind of service. tiuicatimi HARVEY GUY SWANSON Director of Doimrtment of Education ETHEI, HOOK I'rofcasor mill Helping Toucher in Elvnu'iilury Education FELIX ROTHSCHILD Profwr-or Secondary Kduention and Director .luntor High School ELSIE POST LONG Supervisor of Kino Art Demon'rat ion School GEORGIA LEE TATUM Supervisor in Demonstration Sch H� l LAURIE DOOLITTLE Supervisor Instruction Elementary Demon- stration School DEMONSTRATION' SCHOOL BUILDING THl'RHO FIDDLER I’rof. of (icoifrnphy Sup. in Dvimmiitriiliun School (ieograph The old definition “Geography is the study of the earth as the home of man” takes on a new and truer meaning since 1918.

Health is a necessary part of the successful man’s makeup. Without it, he can do nothing. With it, few things are impossible. The Department of Public Health exists in K. S. T.

The physician’s office is well equipped for diagnosis and treat- ment in ordinary conditions. Dressings, antiseptics, and other supplies are provided free of cost to students. Serum and vaccine prophylaxis are administered when necessary. Students who are ill are visited in their rooms by the nurse, who advises with them. Analyses practically of every nature are made in the well equipped laboratory. With the comple- tion of the new buildings, the quarters for the department will consist of nine rooms, equipped with facilities unequalled by any institution in this section of the United States. Added this year is the course in School, Home, and Hos- pital Nursing. This course covers three years of training, the class room work being done at the college and the practical work at the Grim Hospital, located one block from the campus. Students graduating from this course are granted the degree of “graduating nurse” and are qualified to do any and all types of nursing, particularly public health and bedside.

From shop to farm, from office to home, we see the products of its handiwork. The same type of beauty seen in the delicate or forceful masterpieces of great artists is evidenced also in the finished productions of those taught to wield the plane and the saw to the best advantage. No one need ask the cause of the existence of the De- partment of Manual Arts. The student here is given oppor- tunity to work out practical problems to meet his particular needs. One who knows naught of tools can enter these realms, for elementary courses are designed to give a knowledge of fundamental woodworking tools, their care and use, together with simple projects. Exercises in soft wood are offered, involving the (fundamental operations of turning between centers, including face plate and chuckwork. Attention is paid to original design on the part of the student. Simple and complicated types of cabinet and furniture construction are studied and put into practical operation. Farm construc- tion methods are also studied, and commercial woods, their characteristics, location of supplies, and modern uses. When one pauses to think of the great shining, keen-edged the early rude tools of carpentry to the shining, keen-edged weapons of the modern time; when one pauses to compare some piece of antique furniture to the beautiful, simple and far more comfortable or practical furniture of the present day, he will at once acknowledge the great process that has been made in MANUAL ARTS.

S. Gilbert; music by Sir Arthur Sullivan. Time and Place; The scene is laid on the coast of Cornwall; time, the present. The Pirates, as it is familiarly called, is one of the very few operas of note to have its first production in America. Gilbert’s delightfully whimsical story tells of Frederic, apprenticed when a child to the Pirates of Penzance, who were very gentle with orphans for the reason that they themselves were orphans. In Act I the Pirates are celebrating the twenty-first birthday of Frederic, who, tiring of a piratical career, is about to leave them. Ruth, a “female pirate,” begs him to marry her, and as she is the only woman he has known, he consents, after she has assured him that she is “a fine figure of a woman”. Shortly afterward Frederic meets General Stanley’s daughters, who have come to his rocky shore on an outing, and falls in love with Mabel, the youngest. The Pirates capture Mabel and her sisters and propose to marry them, but when their father arrives and tells them he also is an orphan, they relent and release the girls. In the second act the General, with a highly exaggerated sense of honor, is lamenting because he has deceived the Pirates by telling them he is an orphan. Frederic, who is about to lead an expedition (com- posed of brave policemen!) to exterminate the Pirates, conies to bid Mabel goodbye. The “Pirate King and Ruth arrive and show Frederic the� appren- tice papers which bound him to the Pirates until his twenty—first birth- day, and call attention to their discovery of the fact that, as he was born in leap year on the 29th of February, he has had but five birth- days, and consequently is still a member of the band until sixteen more leap years have rolled around! Frederic’s sense of duty influences him to consul to return to the Pirates and serve out his unexpired term, and to tell them of the General’s falsehood. In an attempt to carry off the General for revenge, the Pirates arc captured by the policeman, but ask for their liberty on the ground that they are really English noblemen “gone wrong”. On promising to give up their piratical career, they are pardoned, and this releases Frederic, who is now free to marry Mabel. The Band Early in the fall Pete Myers assembled a group of :50 musicians, and in a short time a band of real merit soon made its appearance on the campus. This band purveyed music for all the pep meetings and foot-ball games. The merchants of the town, seeing the possibilities of converting this band into a municipal band of which the community would be justly proud, offered to place the band on a permanent basis, if in turn the organization would give concerts free of charge. The offer was accepted, and the band promises to be one of the best organizations of its kind in this section of the country.

ORTCWRTH ’ mw� SiMiiors • • The Good Ship, 1923, that in 1919 embarked quietly into the Sea of Knowledge is now nearing the port and the end of her journey. When the beautiful little ship began her long voyage, her sails were snowy white, her decks were polished, and her sides were freshly painted. The crew, tho inexperienced, was a sturdy lot of willing workers. The stalwart captain, who was in command as the ship left the Sophomore port on the third year of her voyage, was still in command when she left the Junior port on the last stretch of the long trip. The crew, although smaller in number than when the ship started on the cruise, is a jolly bunch and is working to make this voyage one of success. The sails of the ship are now not quite so snowy white, and the paint on her sides has become dulled during the long journey; but this sturdy little ship has been blown by the steady breeze of know- ledge to that long-sought port, the harbor of Graduation. The crew waits expecantl.v. As the clear sky and the laughing sunbeam give promise of a glorious day so the nearing of the ship of ’23 into that harbor gives promise that those embarked upon it will answer the challenge of the beckoning world.

Thru three long years we’ve come To college halls and class rooms too Which have heard our busy hum. We've learned the lessons given us. Have struggled thru our tasks: As each succeeding year has come We've gained a step at last. Nor is his knowledge all we’ve gained Within these college halls, For friends we’ve made whose names we hold Ready when memory calls. And many good times we’ve had here. And many lessons learned Outside of books—for all of Life Is not in books interned. As each year passed, as on we went. Our number suffered some; But quality we still retain And will, till our work is done. Another year we'll come again To K. S. T. C. dear. Then we’ll too pass away from it, Give it a parting cheer. But time can ne’er remove from us The memories of our class. Tho years may come, tho years may go, Thoughts of it yet will last. ■VIABLE DAY Clifton Hill. Mo.

As the days rolled by, the class made itself known. We started down the “long, long trail” to graduation that first year with Roland Stokes as president and Ruth Gardner as his assistant. As sophomores, under the guidance of Lloyd Rogers, we still retain the same pep and energy. Tho our number has decreased somewhat, we have heightened our standard and are a leading light in this old school of ours. When the ship of K. S. T. C. rules the waves of the educational world, let us predict that it will carry as its mascot the banner of the class of ’25.

Though we bend it, we obey it; Though we lead it. yet we follow. Useless school without its Freshmen, Thus we youthful Freshmen ponder. Listless, longing, hoping, fearing. Dreaming still of clays beyond us, Of th ? lovely thrills of Sophomores In the days of ’23. “Be content within your limits”. Warning say the stately Seniors. “Look not forward, reminisce not. Or misfortune may befall you. Like the starlight or the moonlight Is the fondest of your day-dreams.” Thus dissuading speak the Seniors. But we Freshmen do not listen. Gravely then, the Juniors warn us. “Clear tlu? way, ye idle Freshmen, Clear the way, ye youthful dreamers. Minds untrained, and wits unsharpened. Why expect to lx one of us? We, who in the fields of knowledge, Want no rank but one above you.” But we Freshmen do not heed them. Then the mighty Sophomore speaketh, “Here into our school come strangers, A mysterious flock from pastures. Come as lambs unto our folds, Beg admission at our doorway. And we Sophs answer curtly, ‘You may enter on condition That you carry all our burdens. Be the goat forevermore ” Now we Freshmen answer boldly. “Be content within our limits? We shall work and live and prosper Till we’ve realized all our day-dreams, Till we to are stately Seniors, Till we too are lords of all”. Thus it is we’ve journed upward. Thus it is we youthful Freshmen To this famous Teachers College Bring the starlight of our day-dreams. Gain the favor of our teachers. Prove to I)r. Kirk our merit. Thus we’ll lead the school to honor. Who can say that they’ll do more?

The irl who learns to play the piano by ear is not a musician. The girl who learns to cook fudge or fry eggs is not a cook; nor is the family dressmaker always an intelligent con- sumer of textiles. Something more is required; knowing what to do, how to do it, and why it is done. The Home Economics Club of K. S. T. C. was organized to give a broader view of the field of Home Economics to the students of that department. The club discusses new developments in Home Economies and endeavors to keep in touch with new additions in its field. OFFICERS President .......... Vice President Secreta r y-T r ea su re r .........

Through correspondence, they have conferred with industrial arts teachers and manufacturers, thus gaining much interesting and valuable information. Through special lectures, given by instructors in this and relative fields, we gain a great deal of benefit which cannot be obtained in general class work. OFrK’K RS RAYMOND A. WKI.I.S.

It owes its origin largely to the interest of a number of students who were specializing in history and who felt the need of a closer fellowship than they could get in the classroom and who devised an opportunity to investigate matters of historical interest independent of the courses in history that they were pursuing. Probably J. H. McKinney was more responsible for getting the society started than was any other one student. The Society has had a continuous existence ever since it was founded, and aside from the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A., it is at present the oldest student organization in this institu- tion. Membership in the Society is elective and is usually res- tricted to aboout thirty persons. 1st Row Marie Conner. Gladys Mi lisa t . Elsie Shuman. Edith Hoch. Deane SouKCr. 2nd Koh .Miilx'l Hawkins.

The Young Women’s Christian Association of K. S. T. (’. is one of the thirty three student associations in the state of Missouri and one of the seven hundred forty-two in the United States. The Y. W. C. A. is a great national and international organization, with a program of service to the girls of the world. Our local association of K. S. T. C. co-operates in the National program, but exists primarily to give ser- vice to the girls in our own college. Christ said, “I am come that ye may have life, and have it more abundantly.” This is our world motto and must be the individual motto of each Y. W. ('. A. girl. The “Blue Triangle” signifies a recognition of the need of development physically, mentally and spirtually. We strive to have our meetings each Wednesday afternoon, inspirational and educational. Our hikes, weiner-roasts and parties, we try to make real recreations. We look forward to having a comfortable and beautiful rest room next year. Above all we want to do our part in being friends and creating a fine fellowship among the college students, so that each one who has been to K. S. T. C. may look back upon the past, of life spent here as pleasant and profitable. ( � jibinot Elsie Shuman .....................................................

Hence great art has the possibility of gripping mankind, and reconstructing a life. The clubs paramount aim is to arouse in the student body a greater interest and appreciation for the more common forms of art; since the arts inculcate and enforce the tradi- tional virtues. The wholesome pleasures which they furnish is an effective protection against vice. They contribute to the social efficiency of the family and other fundamental in- stitutions. 1st Row Windy Norris (Lady Helperi, Turkey Knaver (Historian), BIk Chief Jack (Ideal of Superiority), Slim Decker (mutirinn), Rcho Murphin (The man who was deceived). 2nd Row Slim Jack Watson (sunshine of the house).

Jack accepted the position of head janitor of the Kirksville State Teachers College, or as it was then called, Kirksvillc State Normal School. lie began his work only with one assistant janitor. During the following ten years three men were added to the regular force. In December, 1912, it was decided to lessen the regular force and add students in places vacated, thereby giving some honest, hard-working boys a chance to make their expenses while they were in school. As the experiment brought favorable results, Mr. Jack decided to give more students this opportunity. He now has besides himself three regular men and eleven janitor boys doing the work. The Janitors' Jacksonian Debating Society has been newly organized for the purpose of helping all who are interested in literary work. Many students in college need this drill in debating, for many high school teachers can not. stand before an audience and deliver an intelli- gent address. We think this organization will help remedy some of the defects. First Row Rita Blntncr. Wilson Law. Nadah Kpperson, Waldo Waltz, Tholmn DcCapito.

A Doll’s lionso • The Dramatic Club this year presented another of its high class productions in Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House”, staged in the college audi- torium, Saturday, April seventh. Dorothy Reedy played the leading role, her interpretation of the “Doll Wife” being most pleasing. Equally good was the work of Richard Dabney as Thorwald Holrner, husband of Nora, as well as the remainder of the cast. Wilson Law as Nils Krogstadt, the villain, aroused a spark of sympathy when he agreed to “return the papers”; and Nellie Mudd played well Christina, the go-between, who had been a self-sacrificing creature, thinking of the happiness of others rather than of her own. Mr. Wise in the part of Dr. Rank, the friend of the family, was truly a person “one would like to talk with”. Grace Loughoad as Anne played very conimendably the part of a middle aged housekeeper. The play was also received enthusiastically when its performance was repeated in other places. The towns favored by the presentation of this production were Linneus, Lancaster, Ilurdland, and Huntsville. The entire cast gave evidence of much study, time, and hard labor in preparation. jl� lft Row Kdilh Miller, Marie Conner, I’aiilyne Taylor. 2nd Row Mary Stroup, Eva Wilson, 3rd ltow Wyla Snyder.

It delves into the mysteries of the various organizations of the school, it patiently from the bleachers watches with breathless interest the success of the Bulldogs, it attends the lectures and various entertainments of the school, it keeps in touch with the students -to record the progress of the College in every phase of its life. It speaks only in the silent lines of newspaper articles the glories of its College. It is a willing, ready worker for the uplift of every good cause of the school. It carries the spirit of K. S. T. C. to those both within and without her halls. This historical volume of the Echo was made possible only by the heartiest co-operation of faculty, students and organizations. We take this opportunity of thanking Dr. Kirk who has helped us financially, and also those who have assisted so kindly in gathering material. We wish to espec- ially thank Miss Edith Wilson who has gathered the copy. Others who attributed to the success of the book are H. W. Samuels, and Auten-Matlick Printing Co., who undertook to publish this volume after our money was lost in the Kirks- ville Trust Co. The plan of the book is conservative. We have tried to get something of every happening of interest during the year. We started early and continued late. We have done our best to keep this volume from errors. We have not succeeded, but we trust we have reduced them to a minimum. Some of the copy that came to us was illegible, much of it was late, and in a few cases we were ignored and had to gather what we could. We have labored long and faithfully, and hope our errors will be excused and our effort accepted. MADISON GRIFFITH I tiiMtuMs Manner KOWIN MYKKS Kdilor-in-Chii-f —Editor. In Ve Good Old Da vs . PRESIDENT BALDWIN On the Faculty from 18(� 7 t: 1881 The first efforts to obtain a normal school in North Mis- souri were made by Professor Joseph Baldwin. His efforts were unceasing. He first installed a private normal school and then bent all his energies towards getting the institution adopted by the state. There was a fierce struggle between Chillicothe, in Livingston County, and Kirksville as to which should obtain the school. The feud was a bitter one and is still talked of by those who were active in the matter at the time. The school opened as a private institution for the first time on September 2, 1867 and as a state institution on Dec- ember 29. 1870. PROFESSOR GREENWOOD PRESIDENT BALDWIN PROFESSOR NASON 1867-1874 1867-1881 1867-1887 Some of the first faculty members of the North Missouri Normal School. Some of these members served the school when it was yet a private institution. MRS. GREENWOOD 1867-1872 PROFESSOR PU RLER 1868-1873 MISS GLEASON 1871-1872 .I'M “U'MW NORTH MISSOURI NORMAL SCHOOL The old North Missouri Normal School was first held in a building that had formerly been the home of the Cumber- PRKSIDKNT JOHN R. KIRK 1890- land Academy. The building stood on what is now the prop- erty of Judge J. A. Cooley in the 400 block on east Hickory street. On Thursday, January 2C� . 1872. the present Baldwin Ilall was occupied by the school. At that time it was the only building. There was a ravine in front of the building which was very unsightly. The west end of the ravine was dammed and the present lily pond was made. The “model” school in Kirksville was established in 1882. Since then there have been facilities for a complete education within the institution itself. One can go from kindergarten on through elementary grades, high school and college, and yet be in the same school all the time. Various degrees and diplomas have been awarded by the school, one of the earliest being Bachelor of Scientific Didactics. There were eight in the first graduating class.

In 1919 the name of the school was changed from Normal School to Teachers College. In the class of 1923 there were nearly ninety graduates. Increased Building Facilities New Buildings. The General Assembly in 1021 made appropriations of $200,000 for an Auditorium Gymnasium building, and $87,000 for an Demonstration School Building. After many years of waiting, long deferred hopes are realized. These buildings are almost completed and will be ready for use before the beginning of the fall term. Auditorium-Gymnasium Building. This building is named the John R. Kirk Auditorium. It has a total length of 174 feet and a width of 92 feet, with height of three stories all above ground, no basement what- ever, excepting chaseways for steam pipes and similar purposes. Its location is east of the library building. Its main entrance is at the north end. Through the first floor from north to south is a hallway 22 feet wide, into which all the rooms of this floor open directly or indirectly. The northwest portion of this floor nearest the center of campus activities has nine rooms, to be occupied and used by the Department of Child Hygiene and Public Health. Two rooms to the south of these are intended as storage and display room for a museum. The northeast cor- ner of this floor contains a storage room for the cafeteria, and also a very large elevator reaching to the gymnasium floor in the second story. The kitchen is almost 20 by 22 feet in size. It will lx; equipped with as perfect modern utensils as may be had on the market. A room for steam tables is provided. Three rooms to the south of it are for lunch purposes at meal times and for class purposes at other times. The second and third floors combined make up the gymnasium auditorium. The gymnasium arena on the second floor is 50 by 88 feet. When used for auditorium purposes it will seat 900 people. A special movable floor is provided. This floor may be put down level or it may be laid on a series of benches giving the form of the parquet of a theater. The concrete walls on the sides and farther end of this arena are 5feet high. Above and around these walls is the amphi- theater. with a seating capacity of about 1000 persons. Under the amphitheater and on a level with the arena are the bath rooms, dressing rooms and rooms for storing and caring for hats, wraps, etc. The stage is very large and will accommodate a chorus of more than 200 people. Demonstration School Building. This building is named the Ophelia Parrish School. It is due north of the Auditorium-Gymnasium. It faces the west, looking out over the middle of the campus. The first floor has 18 rooms, including offices and the auditorium. The second story of the demonstration school building has seventeen rooms, including storage rooms, offices, library stack room, and laundry room. The auditorium is only one story high. All the other parts of the building are two stories high. Shower baths are provided in connection with all the toilet rooms. All the rooms have light from one side only, excepting the audi- torium. The entire building will accommodate about 500 children, in- cluding the kindergarten and six elementary school groups on the first floor, with the Junior High School comprising the seventh, eighth and night grades, on the second floor. The demonstration school idea reaches beyond this building. It contemplates co-operation with the Kirksville Senior High School for the study and demonstration of teaching in the upper high school classes.

Adam and Eve were made the honorary parents of the race.
