In 1918 Science Hall was partly destroyed by fire� and now stands as a Kittle scarred survivor of two (ires. The short wing is the “Stokes Addition,' rebuilt from the old hall connecting Science Hall with Baldwin Hall. Science Hall contains the Administrative offices. The John R. Kirk Auditorium THE John R. Kirk Auditorium building is the center of the activ- ities of the school. It contains the big Auditorium-Gymnasium, the Hall of Sociabilities and the cafeteria. The Ophelia Parrish School THb Ophelia Parrish School contains the Demonstration School of the College, and the Kirksville Junior High School. The building is one of the most attractive tin our campus. I’hjw 11 cManual Arts Hall THE woodworking shops, the metalworking shops, and the Auto Mechanics department, are located in this building. The power house is also in this building. The lower picture shows Science Hall, Library Hall, and part of the old bridge that was for so long the distinguish- ing feature of our campus. cPickler Memorial Library Building THL l- eauciful new Library building, made possible by the Honor- able Samuel M. Pickier, is the newest addition to our campus. It is a building to lx proud of, and the students feel deeply grateful to Mr. Pickier for his beautiful gift. i’ag«‘ i a SAMUEL M. PICKLKR I'.W I I Honorable Samuel M. Pickier- THE Honorable Samuel M. Pickier, born in Indiana in 1846, came to Kirksville in 1866 and entered the Old Normal School being a student for two years. In 1.868 he became a memlxrr of the faculty serv- ing until 1873. during which time the Normal School moved from the Cumberland Academy Building to the Original Baldwin Hall. Mr. Pickier served as a member of the Board of Regents from 1899 until 1905. As such he assisted in the erection of the first Library Build- ing. While Mr. Pickier was a resident of Kirksville he has seen the Normal School of sixty or seventy pupils, housed m a small frame build- ing, grow into a Teachers College with an average attendance of about nine hundred, housed in five brick buildings. He saw Baldwin Hall built, then Library Hall was added, then Science Hall, The John R. Kirk Auditorium Building and the Ophelia Parrish Demonstration School Building. First he saw the original Science Hall burned and rebuilt, then he saw Baldwin Hall and the Library Hall destroyed in the same manner. When the Baldwin Hall and Library Hall were burned we dis- covered with what interest Mr. Pickier has followed the growth of the Normal Scluxil and the great spirit of service and loyalty that still moved him. We all acknowledge the spirit that prompted his gift of more than $25,000 making possible the continuation of the work of the Teachers College. We wish to express our appreciation of the service Mr. Pickier has rendered this institution and the cause of Higher Education in Mis- souri. I'agc IA cUke FIRE JT was a dark gloomy day in January 1924. Suddenly a cry of fire shrilled through the corridors of Old Baldwin Hall. The long ex- pected but much dreaded moment had come. Baldwin Hall was burn- ing! A dense pall of grey smoke hung in a sinister cloud about the doomed Old Tower. Suddenly the smoke cloud was riven by a burst of fiarne that illumined the leaden sky and chilled the heart of every onlooker. For hours the fire raged, and when twilight came, the grand old build ing that for fifty years had stood as the symbol of education in Missouri, was a heap of ruins. Would the School continue? The heart of the School was gone. Old Baldwin Hall and the Library were swept away. I’sKi- IS “X)ULD the School go on? The gigantic mass meeting of the next morning answered these ques- tions. The School would go on. Not a single student deserted old K. S. T. C. in her hour of need. The students rallied heroically around the Administration, and not a day was lost. Classes met in crowded temporary quarters until adjust' ments could be made. By summer the school was able to accommodate eighteen hundred students. Now the Pickier Memorial Library is ready for occupancy, and plans have been made for the new Bald- win Hall. The School has carried on! It is to this new School, with all the fine old traditions and ideals, of the old School, that so heroically carried on in the face of disaster that we now turn. Vw in ADMINISTRATION Changes in Administration HIS year was the time for the appointment of two new members of the Board of Regents as well as for the biennial appropriation of funds for the maintenance of state institutions. Messrs. J. E. Weath- erly, of Hannibal, and W. L. Shouse of Shelhina were appointed to fill the places of Messrs. Benjamin Franklin of Macon and Drake Watson of New London. This new board met on Monday evening, March 3, to organize itself and the administration for the next two years. Judge J. A. Cooley of Kirksville and B. L. Bonfoey, also of Kirksville, were given the posh tions of President and Secretary of the Board of Regents. It was decided that Dr. John R. Kirk, who has so wonderfully served this institution for so many years should be relieved of active duty. He was made President Emeritus with a substantial salary, and Dr. Eugene Fair was elected to take the position of President. Later in the Spring Quarter, Dr. Fair met with the board and sub- mitted his proposals for changes in the administration of our school. His proposals were accepted and Professor H. G. Swanson became Dean of the Faculty, and Professor Byron Cosby, Business Administrator. I'he nineteen Departments of Instruction have been consolidated into eleven and the general administrative machinery of this institution will soon lie ready to l egin, on September 1. 1925, the work of carrying on toward a bigger, better Teachers College for Northeast Missouri. There is much that has been done for K. S. T. C. There is much yet to be done. We honor those whose work has lieen done so well, we cheer and support those whose work is yet to be done. T)r. John R. Kirk R. KIRK was born in Illinois. When he was live years old, his father moved to a farm in Harrison County, Missouri. He received his early education in the rural schools of that district, and graduated from the Kirksvillc State Normal School in 1878. Dr. Kirk became president of the Kirksville State Normal School in 1899. Since that time he has served this school faithfully. His administration has been very sue- cessful. He will always hold a high position in the history of this school as well as in the hearts of those students who have benefited by his labors. The best years of his life have been given to this school, and, his active service being over, we feel that the position of President Emeritus will allow him an opportunity to take life less strenuously yet continue his service and work if he wishes. I)R. JOHN R. KIRK PRESIDENT 1X99-1925 President Emeritus 1925 I’uro -’3 K 7Ac JOCMO fa =ii (X)r. Eugene Fain R. FAIR is a Missouri school man. He was born near Gilman City, Missouri, and attended a rural school there. He also attended Avalon College at Trenton, Mis- souri. He received the B. S. degree from the Kirksville State Normal School in 1901, anil an A. B. degree from the Uni- versity of Missouri in 1904. He received an A. M. degree from the University of Missouri in 1909 and a Ph. D. de- gree from Columbia University in 1923. Dr. Fair has served this college well since 1905 when he liecaine assistant professor of history. He was made professor of American History and Government in 1909, and head of the Political and Social Science department in 1915. He is accounted a wonderful teacher by those who have come in contact with him, and he is expected to con- tinue his service equally well in his new position as Prcsi- dent of K. S. T. C.

Secretary Treasurer MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT COURT A. E. Van Eaton, Chief Justice Charles Omer Elizabeth Romans Ralph House Doris Carothers Bessie Elliott Dale Tucker Don Vail THIS school has had some form of student government since 1915. The administration and faculty fell a need of lieing closer to the students, but the majority of the students looked upon them as super men and women with whom they should have no contact stive only in the class room or assembly. As a remedy to this situation the student senate was created and in later years a revised form of government was installed. This revised form is known as the Student Council, and it was ushered in by John Shaver as its first president in 1923-24. Lonnie Leeper was elected to succeed Mr. Shaver in 1924-25, which brings us to the present time. The Council has power granted by the administration to pass upon any school matter save those of a judicial nature, which the student court acts upon. The Council has done many valuable things for the school and students; it has provided wholesome free entertainment for students and guests; it has given the school a big banner; presented gold footballs and a trophy to the Champion Bulldogs; worked our effective office holding plans to relieve overworked students; and played a very prominent part in making the High School Meet a success this spring. It would be impossible to discuss here the many activities of the Student Council. It has been so successful in the past that it is sure to gain ground and be more successful in the future. l :w :?• CLASSES Seniors Senior Class OFFICERS N'. W. Rick non President C. L.

The pep meet' ings during the football season were the best in years and the rooting at the games was unexcelled. Basketball too was well supported. One Cape Girardeau game was literally won by a prolonged burst of enthusiasm that swept both teams off their feet, and brought home a victory for K. S. T. C. With a yell leader squad of five men, and with the entire student body as a rooting unit, the '25 season was the best yet. Hooray, Hoorah K. S. T. C. Hooray, Hoorah K. S. T. C. Rah! Rah' Rah! Rah! K.

A. 1924 THI: Kirksville Teachers College Bulldogs won the championship of the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association. There seems to ho added significance to this fact when it is remeinlx red that it was just eight years ago that the purple and white team of the school held the undisputed championship of the conference, when the famous team of 1916 swept on to victory through the foothill season. And eight years before that, in 1908, the Bulldogs held undisputed sway in the M. I. A. A. Perhaps it needed the cycle of eight years for Coach Mc- Williams to bring forth a team as champions of the conference. Kirksville had, however, been joint owners in the M. I. A. A. championship three times between 1916 and 1924, as the Bulldogs were in a triple tie with other schools three times during the eight year period. The 1924 season opened at Ohillicothe with a non conference game with the Chillicothe Business College Ducks on October 3. The Kirksville warriors started the season off right by winning the game by a 6 0 score. The next three games with non-conference teams proved to be a disappointment to Kirksville fans, as the Bulldogs lost to the Kemper Military Academy Yellow Jackets at Boonville. October 10, by a 17 0 score. On October 18, they lost to the Iowa Wesleyan College team at Mt. Pleasant by a narrow margin of one point, the score being 7-6. Then in the first home game of the season the Kirksville Osteopathic College. Rams administered a 25-0 defeat, although this was a closer score than most had expected because of the veteran team of the K. O. C. and the defeats they had given other teams during the first part of the season. On October 31 the unexpected happened. The Kirksville Bulldogs met the Maryville Bearcats in the first conference game of the season and won by a 14-0 score. Maryville came to Kirksville with an enviable record and the hopes of the supporters of the Bulldogs were none too strong, but “the worm turned and the team representing K. S. T. C. marched toward that goal of championship with heads flung high and eyes never wavering. In the next game the Central College Eagles of Fayette went down to a 27'0 defeat before the onslaught of the Bulldogs on the College Stadium, November 7. Then came the Springfield Teachers College Bears from the far corner of the State, bringing with them the name of being the strongest contenders for the championship. The battle royal was staged on No' vember 14, and beyond doubt it was one of the best games of the season. Back and forth the teams went, fighting for every inch of ground, doing the utmost to pierce the defense of the opposing team, only to drop back into punt position, sending the ball into the air and into the arms of the opponent. There were times when one and then the other team seemed to have the advantage, but when the final whistle blew, neither team had been able to cross the goal line of the other, and the game was a scoreless tie. The fierceness of the Bulldogs from Kirksville made the Cape Gir- ardeau Teachers College Indians bow to a 10 3 defeat on their own terrb lory, November 21. The Thanksgiving Day game was played between the two old rivals, Kirksville and Warrensburg, on November 27 at Warrensburg. Although the Kick of the Mule was strong enough to tally seven points for the Central Teachers College, the tenacity of the Bulldogs was equally good and seven points were scored lor the Northeast Teachers College, so the game ended with a 7'7 tie. So in spite of the fact that the Bulldogs made a rather poor start in the season, they showed great ability when they finally hit their stride, never losing a conference game, and coming out of the 1924 football season with flag flying and the title of Champions of the M. I. A. A. Pam- i H. L. McWilliams, Couch of AH Athletics. “Curly Mac' has long stood high m the hearts of’ K. S. T. C. stu dents. His ability to coach football is shown by his many championship teams. Theodore Holman, Captain. Generally known as Captain Pete. He is our left tackle and one of the best men on the team. Pete tackled mighty hard and he usually brought down his man. He was also a member of the Barnyard quartet. W. L. Barnard, Assistant Coach. “W. L.“ is well known to the students as the assistant coach, and to the grads, as a fighting bulldog. W.

At the end of the season, however, he played mighty well and his work was outstanding in the Warrensburg game. He has three more years to play. Janus Strf.ftf.r Streeter is an all conference man. and a real punch in the backficld. He punts well and is excep- tionally good on end runs. This is his first year and we believe that this lad will t car watching in the next three years. Stanli'y Barki r (Captain elect,' Barker is our other all conference man. He plays clean hard football and has developed into a real right tackle. We will have Barker with us two more years Smith Unci r Better known as Smut. He is our fullback ami .1 good line plunger. He was an outstanding man in the Cape Girardeau game 1 le is a senior. James Chevalier Our left end and a good dependable man on the offense and defense. They didn’t run plays around Chevy's end. This is his first year on the team and as he is a freshman we expect a great deal of him m the next three years. Jons Perry Norris Thu u Perry's first year of football He learned the game rapidly and held down position at right end. Injuries kept linn out of some of the later games.

Harry Stroup Stroup, our center, came to the front in the latter part of the season and developed into one or the best centers in the conference He is a good man on the offense and a stone wall on the defense This is lus freshman year and we expect a great deal of him m the next three years. 1 ’iix ' Frid I.

Basketball 1925 TUB 1925 basketball season opened with tour letter men and a number of high school stars reporting for practice. The letter men were Wells. Cowell, Dillinger, and Norris. After a few weeks of preliminary practice and a few practice games the Bulldogs were ready to start on their conference schedule. Sixteen games in all were played, eight conference and eight non conference games. Four of the conference games were played at home, and tour on foreign courts. Two of our noivconference games were played on our own floor. In some ways this was a rather unsatisfactory season for the Bulldogs. Our squad was slow to round into shape and some men were out of several games due to injuries and sickness. On the first trip the Bulldogs journeyed to Ghillicothe and there met and defeated the Ghillicothe Business College Ducks in a hard fought game 20 to 15. From here they went to Maryville and in the first game trimmed the Bearcats 30 to 8, only to lose the next night 19 to 26. On the return trip they took on Jackson University at Ghillicothe 47 to 23. James Streeter Stsccici i� a forward and a center. He passe well and is a gixxl basket shot. This is his first year and we expect him to do his part in the next three years. Dallas Perry Dallas is our center. Owing to his height and jumping ability very few centers got the tip-off on him. Dallas is a good shot and scored many points this season. This is his first year and we expect much in the next three years. John Perry Norris (Captain Fleet) Perry has played forward two years hut this year he was changed to guard He is a good guard and is a good basket shot We expect him to he with us again next year. S W. Cowell Si” is a forward and one ol the best men that we had. He is last, passes and dribbles well and is a goad basket shot This is his third year on the team. The next week the Bulldogs started on the trip to Springfield. On the road there they stopped olf and played the town team at Windsor and were defeated in a hard game 25 to 18. From here they went on to Springfield, and dropped two games by the scores of 56 to 28 and 39 to 16. The next game was with the K. O. C. in our gymnasium, and was lost by the score of 29 to 17. The following week the Warrensburg Mules met the Bulldogs in our own gymnas ium and defeated them in two hard fought games by the scores of 33 to 20 and 26 to 35. Then we had three games in Kirksville, two with the Cape Girardeau Indians and one at the K. O. C. Gym. with the Osteopaths. I Q 25 I’uRf 1 Wayman $hOr taul Wayman is a guard anil a fighter.

Lr.vi Craio Levi is a forward. He is a good floor man and is a good shot Injuries and sickness held him out several games hut we expect much of him in the next three years In a hard game we heat the Indians 22 to 17 in the first game, only to go down tode' feat the following night 25 to 14. Saturday night of the same week we lost the second game to the K. O. C. 21 to 8. The following week the Bulldogs lost the third and final game in the series with the K. O. C. 15 to 25. The last part of the week they journeyed to La Grange College and closed the season by defeating them in a close game 25 to 29. A numlx'r of new men were developed this year and with the experience that the entire squad gained, it is probable that they will play a hotter brand of basketball next season. l’agc 85 •. cTrack X-T.V2: 7Ac IOC MO la_jL=liL_-n .. —p i ■ ■—,■■ ■■■J TRACK SQl'AD ’25 Q25 T rack GREAT amount of interest has been shown in track in the past few years, but never before has it reached the height that it has this year. Our track team this year was the lx st that we have ever had. In the past we have had a few good men, but never a well balanced team. This year in no meet did we concede points to op- ponents. In our first meet, which was with Kemper, we were beaten aftei a hard fight. In this meet we held George of Kemper to the least number of points that he ever made in a meet. Until the very last the outcome of the meet was in doubt. In the final events we lost, and thereby lost the meet by a narrow margin. Our next meet was with Central College. In this meet things broke better for us, and we were able to win by a close score. The feature of this meet was the winning of the mile relay, which at one time seemed hopeless. The last and most important was the Suite meet. This year was the first time that we have had a possible chance to win the meet. It was evident from the first that Spring- field, Maryville, and Kirksville, were the principal con- tenders. Springfield gradually piled up .1 lead that we found it impossible to overcome. All in all this was one of the best meets ever held on “Kirk Field. We expect a better team next year because most of our point winners will be back next year. The Higjh. School Track Meet 1925 TUP, Track and Field Meet, one of the big meets of the State, was won by Moberly with 34 T2 points. Green City was second with 12 points, and Mendon third with 10 points. This is the first time that Moberly has won the meet. The field and track was somewhat heavy due to the rain the night before. This probably accounts for the fact that only two records were broken. Cochran of Green City, broke the mile record, and Kennedy of Mendon broke the discus record. The summary and winners of the events are as follows: 100'Td. Dash. Alexander. Moberly, first; Landree, Keytesville, second; Lancaster, Marceline, third. Time 10 7'10. 220 Yd. Dash.

Wise WHO, by his untiring efforts for better and finer drama through long years of toil and discouragement has created a wonderful spirit of co-operation and friendship, and fostered a deep appreciation of the beautiful through the development of dramatic abilities, because he believes in us and we believe m him, this page is affectionately dedicated by . The Dramatic Club. cIlie Dramatic Clui) OFFICERS Eugene Hess................................. President Claude L. Suavf.r .......................Vice'President Gertrude DuVall. . Secretary Neita Schuster...............................Treasurer THE First Dramatic Club at K. S. T. C. was organized in 1911. It was known as the Thalian Guild, and was sponsored by Prof. Barrett. In 1913 the Club was re- organized as the Dramatic Club under the direction of Prof. Phillips. For the next two years the club was under the protection of the first triumvirate made up of Professors Phillips, Noyer and Wise. Mr. Wise had received training under both Barrett and Phillips, and was now coming to the front. In 1916 Prof. Phillips retired from the field of action, and left Mr. Noyer and Mi Wise to light it out together. In 1917 Mr. Wise became sole proprietor of the club, and has continued in that office ever since. The Dramatic Club has graduated a long list of Dramatidors some of whom are already known in dramatic circles. Chief among these is Prof. C. M. Wise, who is nationally known in Dramatic work. Mr. Glen James, familiarly known as “Pat, is now director of a little theatre at Ashland, Kentucky. Others who deserve special notice are Oliver C. Perry, author of A Vision of the Home land, Stephen Black hurst, author of “A Little Child Shall Lead Them;' Lawson Wise, author of The Rut,' Ben Craig, J. C. Williams, Lois Selby, Fred Patrick, John Craig, Earle Dille, Lloyd Graham; and down to more modern times, Homer Violette, Caskey Settle, Gwynne Burroughs, John Shaver, Cliff Cornwell, and many others. The Dramatic Club has a reputation to live up to. The Old Timers of the club have reckoned this year as the best year the club has ever known. The club has had a continuous membership of sixty members during the entire year. The Club has met every Thursday night, and a memorized play has been presented every meeting. Much of the credit for this work has been due to Mr. Cliff Cornwell. Mr. Cornwell was sponsor of the club while Mr. Wise was studying in New York. A very interesting part of the work this winter has been the Marion- ettes. The marionette play The Three Wishes' was given five times for public per- formance. Many other experiments were performed with them. The Club is a member of the Drama League of America and presents circuit plays under the auspices of the League. Last year The Rocl( was presented thirty times iii towns of North Missouri, including a performance at the State Teachers Meeting in St. Louis. This year The Servant in the House was presented fifteen times. Due to the fact that Mr. Wise was studying in New York from September to February the play was not presented as many times as could be desired. Outside of the circuit plays many other plays have been given. The play given for the annual sum- mer festival of music and drama was The Comedy of Errors. The plays presented for public performance this year were The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife, The Intruder, The Tents of the Arabs, The Traveling Man. and The Ro- mancers. The Club is satisfied with its work and feels that h has had a most suc- cessful year.

Patience £T)ATIENCE, a lit� ht opera in two acts, written by Gilbert and ■A- Sullivan, was presented to a large audience in Kirk Auditorium. The story of the opera is as follows: . Reginald Bunthorne, a fleshy poet, is the object of adoration of a group of rapturous aesthetic maidens. However he does not love any of them, but Patience, .1 dairymaid. The officers of the Dragoon Guards enter and are llouted by the maidens. They become indignant. Bunthorne then enters, and because Patience has refused him, he is going to raffle himself off. He is prevented however by Patience, who appears and accepts him. The maidens are reconciled with the officers of the Guard and everything goes smoothly until Archibald Grosvenor, an Idyllic poet enters. The maidens immediately become infatuated with him. However, Grosvenor proves to be an old playmate of Patience, and wins her love. Bunthorne then chooses Lady Jane, who has remained constant to him throughout, but he is finally left disconsolate when the Duke chooses Lady Jane to be his wife. The opera was well given and delighted the audeince. The costunv ing, setting and lighting were beautiful. Bunthorne, played by Adam Decker, and the Solicitor, played by Claude Shaver, caused much merriment. The trio of Colonel Calverly, played by Van A. Christy, Major Murgatroyd, played by William Lichau, and the Duke, played by Irving Hardwick, also brought much laughter. The duet of Bunthorne and Lady Jane, played by Anne Norris was heartily applauded. Mrs. Wallace Swanson deserves much credit for her portrayal of Patience. C lilitarY' Sfryoinra Hilton R Jacobs.

E. Rieger, 1st Lieutenant, Manville Carothers, and Second Lieutenant, Earl Laughlin. At that time the state fur nished the equipment but the officers and men paid for the armory and expenses of maintaining the company. The first encampment was held at Springfield and the first actual service the company had was under Captain Ewing when it assisted in putting down a strike in the cement works at Illasco, Mo. The next service was on the Mexican border in 1916-17 under the command of Captain Gates. August 5, 1917 the company was called into service in the World War, becoming part of the 139th Infantry, 35th Division, which trained at Camp Donb phan, Okla., until April 1918 when it crossed overseas. Liverpool and Hampton, Eng., and La Havre, France, was the route which led to fighting in the Somme Valley, defense of Paris, trench warfare at Bpenal, St. Michael offensive, battle of the Argonne and to the front at Verdun. The casualties of Company C were about forty-six percent. On May 25, 1919, those left were mustered out of service. The company was reorganized as Company C, 138th Infantry, April 26. 1922 under command of Captain J. D. Heiny and was redesignated as Company K, 138th Infantry, March 29, 1924.

The most out- standing feature of the year s work was the organizing of a Bible Class under the leadership of Colonel J. E. Rieger, in which there are thirty men and women. The Y. W. G A. also helped m an all-school party which was a great success. The young women arc looking forward with great pleas- ure to having a room in the Library building, which the P. E. O.

Devotional and Rest rooms, we have held out devotional meetings in one of the class rooms of the Kirk Auditorium. We have had some very beneficial meetings this past year. As to some of the things we have done during the past year: William Jennings Bryan delivered a lecture in the Kirk Auditorium under our auspices; one man was sent to Hollister; two of the cabinet members attended the joint Y. W. and Y M. O. A. officers training conference at Fulton. Some plans have been made for further activities and entertainments for the coming year. We believe the need of the present day man for spir- itual guidance is as great as it has proved to be for any of his predecessors. In our associations together in this work we have endeavored to gain a knowledge of those things which will be of use to us now and m our future work. With its ever present opportunities for service it is our hope that the Y. M. C. A. may function more effectively m the future than it has in the past.

I’nge 142 Historical Society5 ONE of the foremost organizations in the Kirksville State Teachers College is the Historical Society. The history of this club since its organization in the winter of 1906-07 has been a succession of lec- tures given by faculty members and students who are specializing in History, Political or Social Science. Not only is the Historical Society one of the most important organizations, but it is also one of the oldest organizations in the school at the present time. The Society is a local representative of the International Clubs which are financed by the Carnegie foundation of International Peace. The Society is furnished with material foi discussion and occasionally is visited by a representative of the International Relations Clubs. Another interesting feature of the Historical Society is the Vio lette-Robinson Collections. These consist of written documents and material relics, illustrating American and particularly Missouri History. It is the intention of the college not to make a collection of things which shall simply appear as curiosities, but which shall have a distinct value and which may be used either by college classes or Demonstration School pupils to aid them in visualizing the manners and customs of days gone by.

S T. C. came into existence. A live interest was shown by the Club mem- hers and to encourage them in the work, the Board of Re- gents of the College offered an award of fifty dollars to the team which should prove themselves to be the lx st debaters in the club. Rules for the contest were drawn up by the club and approved by the English Department. The winners in this contest were found to be Miss Pauline Dingle and Mr. William Zeigel, Jr. The Fall of 1924 found the same lively interest among the Club members. The Regents Award was won by Miss Eva Sebring and Mr. Rolla Morrow. For the future club, we predict greater accomplishments and an ever growing interest.

The Razzers organization was called into being during an Athletic crisis in the fall ol Id24. They formed the nucleus around which the wonderful spirit of 1924-25 was built. This wonderful spirit bred the players and they fought and won for K. S. T. C. Their activities not only took the form of pep meetings, stunts, bonfires, demonstrations, exhibitions and parades, but they also entered into the social activities of the school in planning school parties and dances which were, in the term inology of the undergraduate, a howling success in every The Razzers of 1924 25 will lie remembered both by the members, and by the student body as a live organization in an institution noted for organizations that accomplish things. case. mm Florence Cook, Ward Cowell, Helen Davidson, Nettie Dutton.

Naturally we are inclined to agree with them. The reason, we believe, for the high stand' ing of our paper among college publications lies in the very nature of the paper's organization and its purpose. The Index Staff includes all students taking the course in Journal' ism; the class as a whole elects its members to the various staff positions thus giving each individual a set of specific duties. Most of the staff members are kept busy gathering the news of the activities in their own particular field, such as athletic events or social functions while other members specialize on writing editorials and commenting on news from other schools; still other members handle the financial affairs of the paper and solicit advertising. The foregoing described activities of the staff take up a large per cent of the class time m the school week; but, nevertheless, the student of journalism is not limited to the duties of the staff member. The history of journalism and its modern theories and practices are given due em- phasis, while The Index is a practical laboratory for using the know ledge gained from theoretical study. Our first duty we believe to be to our student body. We endeavor to place in the student's hands an accurate account of the activities and events of college life which will be of interest. Our second duty is to our alumni who are scattered over the coun try. We endeavor to tell them what is going on in The Old School and keep them interested in its progress. The Index is a weekly paper dedicated to the service of K. S. T. C.

Publishing the Echo has been an uphill struggle, owing to the unfortunate accidents that have occurred in previous publications. At no time has the staff considered the work as drudgery, in fact some of the staff members were disappointed be' cause they were not called upon to do more work. So the work has been a pleasure and a privilege. We are giving you the best Echo that our meagre means will allow. We hope you will receive it in the same spirit with which it is published. There are mistakes in our book. We expect criticism, but we ask that you make constructive criticism in order to help next year's staff. We extend out congratulations to next year’s staff.

Pnge ISO EVOLUTION 1859 the Kirksville Presbytery of the Cumberland Presbyter' ian Church decided to establish a school in Kirksville. About $6,000 was spent on a building on the corner of Mulanix and Hickory streets. Only two sessions of this school were ever held. The build' ing was purchased by a stock com- pany and finally rented by Pro- fessor Baldwin in 1876 for the normal school to l e opened the next fall. For five years the Northeast Missouri Normal School was housed in this building, three years as a private institution and two years as a state school. On Thursday, January 16, 1873 the new build mg on the present campus was oc- cupied and on February 13. 1873 this building was dedicated. President Baldwin spent much time in selecting the five men and women who were to be his asso- ciates in starting the Normal School. Three men and two women Pa c 158 were employed for a term of ten years and under conditions designed to give them .1 great interest in the welfare of the School. On September 2, 1873. the stu- dents who gathered ranged from the primary grade to men who had served in the army and consequent ly lost time in their education. By the end of the year there were 140 in the Normal Department and 144 in the Model School. The Library started with 1,000 volumes and grew very slowly be- cause the Legislature refused to appropriate money for it support, finally, by 1901 the Library had outgrown its small quarters and the Legislature was persuaded to appropriate sulficient funds to build the Library Hall. In 1905 another addition was made to house the science departments. The Library Hall was placed on the east end of Baldwin Hall and Science Hall added at the west. When the campus was donated PtiiCO I.Vi to the state it consisted of fifteen acres occupied by a corn field. No particular improving was done until the spring of 1873. when the fac ulty and entire student body united in securing and planting trees, and helping in constructing the lake, bridges, walk and general improve- ments. In 1918 Science Hall was burned but quickly replaced. In 1923 the Ophelia Parrish Demonstration School Building and the John R. Kirk Auditorium Building were completed. Early in the year of 1924 the Old Baldwin Hall and Library Building were burned. This seems to have been the greatest disastei in the history of the school, but it has rallied bravely and we are now oc- cupying a wonderful new Library Building with hopes of seeing a New Baldwin Hall started soon, and definite proof that the campus will again be the beauty spot it was in the beginning.

Still, Ma can make flapjacks. Maybe they've decided not to keep hens. One of the profs here must come from way out west or from Mexico. He must have been a real cowboy, for 1 heard a feller say that he could throw the bull the best of any man in the country. Wednesday. Learned all the college yells. Gee, but college teaches a feller a lot. There's a doctor here at the school and when 1 says what for?' they says: to keep the students well. Ha! Ha! If all the doctor's did was to keep folks well, how could they get any patients? Thursday. Saw’ a girl with a funny haircut. They call it the “shiek bob. Fellers say she thinks it smart to show her ears. That's nothin'. Ma has show’ed all her ears ever since I can remember. These girls ain't so smart as they think they arc. Friday. A girl spoke to me this morning. She says Will you tell me at what time the three o'clock O. K. train goes. I says, 1 think, ma'am, at about four o'clock. 1 think I must be attractive to the girls. I heard one of them say to another, Did you ever see such a head of hair in your life? and the other one says, No, 1 never did. 1 didn't pay any attention to them. 1 don’t believe in encouraging women. They think they know’ it all now, and, by gum, if we fellers don't kx k out, the first thing we know they will know it and where will we be then? Keep 'em in their place I say. Saturday. The bathtub had the worst rush that it has had since I came here. Next week I am going to get up early and avoid the rush. Went to a grand football game. Think I'll go out for football. Ma made me promise not to do any fighting, but I think that football would be nearly as much fun. Sunday. Went to church. The fellers told me the church that gives the best church suppers and 1 went there. The parson preached about making re ligion practical. Glad the first week is over. College isn't so hard. I wonder how they manage to stretch it out for four years. I've learned a lot of it already and I'll get the heft of it all by the end of the year. Still, it's awful cultural. When I go home for vacation I'm going to teach my little brother all the class yells, tell Ma about the styles, and show the fellers what a nifty little guy their little William has got to be. Pa says he knows now why he named me William, for since I got to spending so much jack at college, it has been nothing but Rill, Bill, Bill. But college is broadening. I had to let out another notch in my belt today. Them chocolate sundaes at the Olympia sure are filling. en ira cMusin s of a K. S. T. C. Girl I AM a real, live, red blooded nine teen-twenty-five American girl and I don't care who knows it! My present occupation is student in the K. S. T. C. (Kurtvale State Teachers Colony), a school located in a town in northern Missouri. How long I remain in said occupation depends entirely upon how successful I am in what I came up here for. You'll understand when you've read a little farther. In case I'm not successful, however, I am not wasting my time here because it is such a glorious relief to get away from the folks at home and not have to listen to their eternal haranguing about morals, proper behavior, modesty, and all that bunk. Now, in regard to my ambition, which is subject to success or otherwise, it is nothing more nor less than to get a man! Not just any man who happens along but one who meets the necessary requirements, to-wit: He must have black hair, combed slick and parted in the middle. I le must go bareheaded most of the time, as that seems to be a permanent fad now, regardless of the fact that many do go that way because they are too cheap to buy a hat. He must keep his clothes well tailored and his fingernails well manicured. He must have a New England or Southern accent in his speech. I should prefer that he be honest, although that is not so all-important as the other qualifications. Summing it all up, he must be a stylish young man, polite, affectionate, and sophisticated. That is my ultimate aim. I have several immediate ones, one of which is to write a book on how to sophisticate a green but good-looking boy. I just know 1 can make it a success1 Another one is to out-do the rest of the girls at the house on the date proposition. We have a perpetual contest on who can have the most dates in one week with students of the school of the Kaiser's Own Chiropractics, an institution over across the railroad tracks. We have a definite purpose in specialising in the K. O. C. boys. They are generally from cities or larger towns which can boast of society of fair rank, while we girls hail from small towns and know very little about real society. And although they go with us just because they cannot do any better here, we are educating ourselves socially all the while. They're not outfigurmg us- We're out-figuring them. There is nothing that has occurred in connection with this school that is worth mentioning unless perhaps a somewhat singular experience I had with a K. S. T. C. boy. He was almost brutally indifferent to all of us and when at a dance, he was frankly bored. I thought all he needed was a little modern social education a la K. O. C. so I managed to get a date with him. Sitting snugly with me in the porch-swing after the show, he was in his usual mood so ob- liviously indifferent to me and apparently everything else, that I decided not to waste time but start right in. 1 oozed up so close to him that a cigarette paper 17� between us would have been crushed and 1 just about had him surrounded when he yawned, turned toward me and said as coolly as you please, “Say, kid, how many kisses will you take to can that stuff and act as though you’d had a little bringing up. even though you evidently haven't? Don't you love that? I thought I would just die! Well, don't get the idea th.it 1 fell for him just be cause he was “different either. That was our last date together by mutual, tho unvoiced agreement. Oh, I've lived! K. S. T. C. Concerning Men (With apologies Where Due) Once upon a time I thought I understrxxl men, But alas! 1 found If you flatter a man He leaves you to strut for others; And if you don’t flatter him He doesn't like your attitude. If you let him love you He doesn't appreciate it; And if you don't He finds some one who will. If you're jealous of him He thinks you're running after him , But if you're not. He thinks you didn't care. If you smoke, he thinks you're not a “lady. And if you don't he thinks you're slow. If you're affectionate He thinks any one can love you, And if you're not. He promptly gives you the gate. If you're just a “good girl He thinks he has a flat tire. If you roll your own, He thinks you're a wild woman (And he gets wild too) If you go out with other men, He thinks you likes them best and raves And if you don't He thinks you ain't get other dates bo tell me what oh, what. Is a woman supposed to do. —Dizzy Etta. l’ago 17 j
