Dr. Eugene Fair was elected president of the Northeast Missouri Teachers College by the Board of Regents in the spring of 1925 to take his appointment on Sept. 1, 1925. In choosing Dr. Fair, the Board of Regents selected one of the most admired and honored graduates of our school. As a classroom teacher, he was a success, hut his efforts were in no way impaired by his being selected to head the school. He has proven himself to be a successful administrator and through his attentiveness to his position he has won the hearts of all the students of the institution. Dr. Fair has proven himself to be an idea! gentleman and through untiring ability he has built up a spirit which is not surpassed by any institution of this caliber. Always he has been a friend to all, giving attention to the problems in such a way that he has built for himself a name which will go down in the annals of K. 8. T. C. as a mentor of ability. As students of this institution we feel indebted to the Board of Regents who em- ployed him, for their judgment has proven that he was the one man for the position. We honor Dr. Eugene Fair and we wish that all who come to this institution could become bet- ter acquainted with him. He has given us his best efforts and they have been crowned with the most successful school year in the history of K. S. T. C. l'a� {© is Dr. Hugene Fair, President I'anc 11� cDr. John R. Kirk ” TOHN R. . . . .the name by which John R. Kirk, Educator, was known to every one of his students, co-workers, and employees. A name applied for various reasons by different individuals, in the end it was always used for the same reason it was a term of affectionate familiarity. The man who became a trail blazer in the world of educa tion was not so “upstage that he could not mingle with every day folk; hence the “John R.” Has there ever been a student here for any length of time whose name Mr. Kirk did not know? The writer is neither a student nor a graduate; he was never prominent in the activities of K. S. T. C., yet Mr. Kirk, knowing his students, knew this pne too, by name. Such a human quality is a precious one to have, and Dr. Kirk possesses it to a remarkable degree. This quality of friendliness, then, is one that has endeared our “John R. to many student generations. One can easily have respect for achievement, and Dr. Kirk merits a full measure of this, for he stands tfxlay, as he has for two or more decades, among the always small group of leaders. The daily news of the educational world contains word of many activities and movements in which Dr. Kirk has blazed the trail at his famous Teachers College. Physical Education, Public Health, a dozen others, can be named. The first educator to say, “Musically talented children should receive their opportunity in the public schools was Dr. Kirk. Such an expression, delivered at a time when public school music was a minus quantity, is typical of the man. Unmindful of criticisms he has always pursued the way of progress. Never afraid to experiment, he has been more than once rewarded by seeing the successful results adopted widely. The man today, for the present not in the old intimate touch with his students, still commands our admiration, for he is with characteristic vigor doing graduate work at one of America's great professional schools. The Stream of Life flows on, but to-day, as yesterday, John R. , with flashing eye and ringing voice, stands to the front, proclaiming the too- often-forgotten truth that Education must not stagnate, must grow or die.

Swanson to be Dean of the institution. Dr. Fair selected a man who is well known in educational circles throughout the state. Dean Swanson is a capable, reliable man and it is to him that we feel a great deal of praise should be given. Through co-operation with the student body he has been able to give great service to K. S. T. C. H. G. Swanson. Dean M $ PROF. BYRON COSBY has behind him an en- viable student record. This is mirrored in Ins degrees of A. B., B. S., and A.

Mi WILLIAMS first came to us as a student and an athlete, playing on the cham- pionship football team of 1908. Later he entered the University of Missouri and made an enviable record as an athlete while there, being chosen as quarterback of the mythical All Missouri Valley Football team. Since 1914 Coach McWilliams has been associated with this school as Athletic Director. His ability as a coach and producer of championship teams is known throughout the state. He has long stood high in the estimation of K. S. T. C. athletes, students, and alumni. We regret that Coach McWilliams has sev- ered lus relations with this institution and our best wishes go with him. COACH DON FAUROT came to us from Mis- souri University. He was a prominent athlete at Missouri University for the last four years, playing fullback on the 1924 Missouri Valley Championship football team. He not only played football, but was outstanding as a basketball and baseball player. I le was captain of the Missouri Varsity basketball team his third year. He was graduated from the college of agriculture at Missouri last spring and was engaged as Freshman football coach at the University last fall. Mr. Faurot took up his duties as head coach at K. S. T. C. on December 1, 1925. He has proven a worthy successor of Curly McWilliams, turning out the best basketball team the college has had for the. past few years. W. L. BARNARD, better known among K. S. T. C. students and alumni as Dubbs, graduated from K. S. T. C. in 1924. Since that time he has had charge of physical education at the Junior High School and has been assistant coach at the college. Dubbs was a three year letter man in basketball and was captain one year. Because of his small size he was handicapped but he always had the old Bull- dog fight that never says Die. Mr. Barnard is a true sportsman and stands for those high ideals in athletics that K. S. T. O. has always followed. l‘:ige 77 K. S. T. C. 7, Chillicothe Business College 0. K. S. T. C. 17.

This was the first time for many years that Coach McWilliams had a nucleus of old letter men around which to build a team. Out of these fifty-five men, eleven letter men had returned to defend their positions. The letter men who reported were Captain Barker, Stroup, Ransom, Chevalier Streeter and Holman, Cap- tain of the '24 team which won the M. I. A. A. championship. McKanna of the 1923 team was back also. Reed, Williamson and Thomas from the 1922 championship team had returned for another year. Many promising men who had been out years previous were also out for the team again, among the most promising were, Simmons, Garrett, Rouse, Parsons, Ellis. Bradley and Willis. Kirksville High School also sent over a dele- gation of ambitious men among whom were Orval Craig, Levi Craig, Hayden, Eggert and others. Adams and Dueringer from Missouri Military Academy were numliered among those who were ambitious for a berth on the first team. I’ukw 7S wmi Goo't' Barker Bii i Williamson Captam CaptaiivElwt C luirii -'nil boclj The early part of the season was very warm and the Bulldogs were not able to get to work very strenuously. However, after the first two weeks, they started training in earnest for their first game. The season opened with a game with the Clnllicothe Business College. This also opened up the first of a series of mud baths which the Bulldogs were destined to take almost every week end. Chillie.othe brought a large team to Kirk field seeking for revenge for the defeat of a year ago. However, the Bull' dogs were never seriously threatened but once and on a fumble a Chillicothe player picked up a ball and dashed for the goal line 50 yards away. He was overtaken by Me- Kanna and Chillicothe's chances for scoring were over. Early in the third quarter Orval Craig broke through and blocked a punt and Stroup fell on the ball on Chillicothe's M yard line. Streeter carried the ball over for a touchdown on the first play and kicked goal afterwards. The Bulldogs seemed to be content with the lone touchdown so C. B. C. went back home defeated 7-0. After a week of hard practice the Bulldogs sought revenge for the 17 0 defeat the Kemper Cadets had given them the year before. The first few minutes of the game seemed to indicate that the Bulldogs might not secure that revenge but after the Bull- dogs secured the ball and started their march down the field the outcome was never in doubt. Kirksville's tackles played splendidly throughout and tune after time a Cadet would pick himself up and find that he had lost five yards. McKanna seemed to be at his best and the big fellow tore the line to pieces while Streeter played another great game. The Bulldogs failed to score in the first half but the second half saw them in great form and two touchdowns and a place kick were marked up against the Cadets. The re- venge that the Bulldogs had striven for was complete as the game ended with the ball on Kemper's 2H yard line. The score was reversed from the year before with the Bull- dogs on the long end of a 17-0 score. The first conference game was to take place in Maryville on October 16, and the Bulldogs six'llt a week m careful preparation for the game. Coach McWilliams put his proteges through several strenuous workouts in the mud and on Thursday they were Page 70 Hi Simmons McKanna Harry Stroup Pirn: Holman Hallfbadt Fullback Center Tackle off to battle the foe on foreign fields. The trip was made in a Pullman so that all men would lie in great condition for the game. Missouri athletic circles had rumored that Maryville had the best team she had ever possessed. Shortly after noon nun started falling and by 2:30 the field was saggy and muddy from one end to the other. The Mary villc team came on the field attired in rubber pants and shoes with mud cleats on them. The first few minutes of play saw the Bearcats going through the Bulldog line almost at will. Their cleats had enabled them to hold their feet and they started pushing the ball into Kirksville territory. The Bulldogs held when they were forced fai into their own territory and James Streeter's toe booted the ball far into the enemy's territory again. This type of playing continued throughout the first half with neither team ever being close enough to score. The second half opened up with a desperate attack on the part of the Bulldogs. After an exchange of punts Levi Craig broke through the Mary- ville line for a 15 yard run and a pass to Payne was complete for 25 yards. After two line Pm « SO Orie Dukringer Levi Craig Red Thomas Ed Adams Quarterback Quarterback Guard Tackle plays had been attempted, Streeter dropped back and place kicked from the 30 yard line for 3 points. But this run of luck was s x n to Iv offset by a run of bad luck. Levi Craig slipped as he attempted to catch a punt and Maryville recovered. The Bearcats then marched down to the 12 yard line and after losing the ball on downs, blocked Streetei 's kick and carried the ball over. Throwing precaution to the wind with only a few minutes to play, the Bulldogs opened up with forward passes and had one inter' cepted for a touchdown. It was a downcast Bulldog that walked from the field, but he smiled and lost in good spirit. On the next weekend, the Bulldogs journeyed to Lexington to play the Went' worth Cadets. This game was the chance for the so-called' comeback. With a slash- ing, driving, terrific attack the Cadets fell before the Bulldogs by .� score of 38-7. Live times Streeter's toe liooted the oval through the crossbar for the extra point. The Cadets proved themselves to be true sportsmen and showed a great deal more courtesy to the l’� K« SI Bulldogs than had any other team. Every man praised the Cadet team for their clean playing throughout. Homecoming and the Warrensburg Mules' The first big snowstorm of the season fell Thursday before the game. Two thousand alumni were back to see the Bulldogs in action. Coach had spent much time in perfecting a defense against the much talked of forward passing machine of the Mules. The field was cleared of snow and on Friday afternoon at 2:45 E. C Quigley's whistle announced the beginning of the battle. With Whiteman doing the passing the Warrensburg team was continually threatening. Passing from almost any place on the field they would carry the ball down the field but they never seriously threatened to score. The Bulldog machine was working well in the last half. Owing to the fact that the official was not on the line of scrimmage, the Bulldogs lost their only opportunity to score and lost the ball three inches from the goal line. The crowd had called for a touchdown but circumstances kept the Bulldogs from delivering. l’a««- S2 Dutch Payni Acc.ir C'rau; Don Vaii End End Guard Hugh Rousi Leaving on Thursday evening the Bulldogs arrived in Springfield on Friday to battle with them for a chance at the championship in case Maryville should drop a game. More rain and more mud befell the Bulldogs and before a large crowd another mud battle was fought. Fighting valiantly from the first but hard luck seemed to be on their trail again and after bringing the ball to within inches of the goal line Springfield would gain the ball on downs or fumbles. Opportunity after opportunity was thrown away and even after Holman had tackled the man who received the punt and Cheva- lier had recovered and ran forty yards for a touchdown the official ruled the ball dead. The opportunity was open at all times for a score but Springfield seemed to take .id- vantage of all the breaks and another defeat of 1(H) was marked up against the team. Without ever giving up hope the Bulldogs at last played a game on a dry field. After journeying to Canton on Friday morning the Bulldogs took the field with stern faces resolved that the Springfield defeat would ! e the last. Early in the game a Culver-Stock- l’jigc sa ton player took the ball on his own 10 yard line and evaded half a dozen tacklers and ran for a touchdown. Kirksville came back with a touchdown and tied the score 7 7 In the last half James Streeter kicked a field goal and the game ended with the Bulldogs leading 10-7. The Bearcats never seriously threatened to score after the touchdown registered in the early minutes of the game. Returning home, the Bulldogs spent a week in preparation for the last conference game and also the last game that most of the students would witness. The Cape Girar- deau Indians invaded Kirk field but went away suffering the severest defeat of the season. Six times did the Bulldogs backs cross their goal line and six extra points were added after the touchdowns. Coach McWilliams said that the team was in the best form of the season and many of the Cape boys verified his statements. Entertainment was given the Cape boys and they praised our lx ys for their g xxl sportsmanship and ability to play football. The warcry of the season had lieen ‘’Beat the Osteopaths! and the team was rounded into shape for the Turkey Day clash for the city championship. It had been five years since the Bulldogs had chalked up a victory against our rivals across the tracks. McWilliams had resigned his coaching position and this was his last chance to put a team tutored by him on Kirk field. Whether he realized this or it was overzeal' ousness on his part, he imparted to the Bulldogs the “Do or die spirit and when the curtain rolled up on the final game his coaching began to show results. The big farmer lads” who were brawny but not brainy football players as had been reported started their steam roller. Running around the ends, over the tackles, bucking the center of the line and pulling fakes at opportune moments completely upset the Bonesetters and they fought, not to win, but to keep the score from being larger. Every man played hard and no man outshone the other. A hard driving machine with a varied attack had driven the Ram back to his shed suffering from a 21-0 defeat. It was a great game to close Curly” McWilliams career and had not hard luck followed him throughout the season the outcome might have been different. At a meeting of the coaches of the M. I. A. A. James Streeter and Harry Stroup were chosen on the all M. I. A. A. first team. Captain Barker and James Chevalier were given places on the second team. At a banquet given by the faculty for the football men, James Otis Williamson was elected Captain of the 1926 team. Bill is a great player and he will be a great leader. The new- Coach, Don Faurot, had been on the job and reports that many High School players from different parts of the State will report next fall. Of the 1925 team, only two men graduate. George Thomas and Glen Parsons will not return to defend the Purple and the White. The men receiving letters were Captain Barker, 3 yr.; Captaiivelect Williamson, 3 yr.; Holman, 1924 Captain, 3 yr.; Chevalier, 2 yr.; Stroup, 2 yr.; Streeter, 2 yr.; Ransom, 2 yr.; McKanna, 2 yr.; Thomas 2 yr.; Vail, 2 yr.; Levi Craig. 1 yr.; Orval Craig, 1 yr.; Payne, 1 yr.; Simmons, 1 yr. Rouse, 1 yr.; Adams, 1 yr.; Dueringer, I yr.; Parsons, 1 yr. The chances for a winning team in 1926 are excellent. The following teams are on the Bulldog schedule next year: Maryville, Springfield, Warrensburg, Cape Gir- ardeau, Kemper, Westminster, Culver-Stock ton and Kirksville Osteopathic College.

Alxmt twenty-live men reported for the first work out. Among these were six letter men from previous years. The squad was cut to twenty men it the end of nine weeks. The men stayed over three days into the Christmas holidays and came back three weeks early in order to get into shape for the hard schedule facing them. The first game was with the Alumni All-Stars composed of Hunt, Drescher, Capps, Wells, Streeter. Barnard, and Garrett, all former cage stars. It was a hard fought Pftgc si; Hi Simmons, Center: Perry Norris, Captain Guard game but the Bulldogs managed to keep the lead throughout the game. The score being 23 to 19. The next game was with Trenton Junior College who proved no match for the local basket flippers and were downed 75 to 12 and all twenty men on the squad saw service in this game. Chillicothe Business College invaded our quarters next and walked away with a 32 to 27 victory. With a minute to play the score stood 19 to 20 and it was any one's game but the Bulldog's defense wilted and Chillicothe scored a couple of counters in rapid succession. We opened our conference schedule with Maryville Teachers College Bearcats who had just shown K. C. A. C. a real run for their money. The Bulldogs were hot that night and Ivfore Maryville could adjust themselves Levi Craig had registered three times from the field and Captain Norris once. It was Kirksville's night and they out played the Maryville Quintet in every department of the game showing an exception ally good tight man to man defense. The game ended 32 to I I and Kirksville was tied for the lead of the conference. We next journeyed to Culver-Stock ton where we took a 31 to 19 defeat. The boys just couldn't get started it seemed and we are still wondering just what was wrong. We then started on a hard two-game Southern trip to Springfield and Warrens- burg. The Springfield game was a well played, hard fought game. Springfield led 12 to 10 at the end of the half and the Bulldogs tied the count about the middle ofthc second half but were unable to forge ahead and Springfield won 23 to 19. It was a hard trip from Springfield to Warrensburg and the games were played on following nights. The Bulldogs led by I points at the half and were 7 points ahead in the second half but seemed to assume a listless, tactless, style of play while the Warrensburg Mules were getting hotter all of the time. They passed us with a few minutes to play and walked away with the long end of the score, 27 to 21 The next week end Maryville enjoyed sweet revenge on us by turning us back with a 32 to 21 defeat.

The Bulldogs jumped into third place in the Conference hut slipped back to fourth place two nights later when the Springfield Bears took a one-point game from us in the last 55 seconds of play. We led at the half and the score was tied several times in the second period and with less than a minute to play we were holding a one point lead which Captain Davis of Springfield turned the other way with a pretty one from near the center of the court. It was a tough game to lose as we out-scored them two field goals hut free throws beat us. The next game played was with our old traditional rivals the Osteopaths, on their own court and we carried oil a 2‘) to IS victory. In this game Milstead, who went in i'iiRi- NS Augii: Ckaig.

We walked out. with the long end of the 29 to 22 score of a really hard fought game on the cracker box gymnasium of Cape's. Levi Craig and Simmons were the high scorers with Norris next. Orval Craig played a neat floor game at guard. We returned to Kirksville Sunday night and played our old friends the Osteo paths in Kirk Auditorium on Monday night. For the second time of the season we trimmed the traditional foe 41 to 26. Scott came into his own in this game and came through with four nice ones. All the l ys played a strong game and thirteen men saw service before the evening was over. Fuerst, the tall rangy guard also showed up well in this game.

Won four and lost four conference games and finished third. Maryville won first and we had the pleasure of beating them the only game they lost this season. Springfield was second with five won and three lost. Warrens burg and Cape Girardeau were last each with six lost and two won.

Iltilf Mile, Mile, Wayni: McKanna (Captain) Disms Review of 1925 Track Season THE 1925 Track Team was the best that K. S. T. C. evei produced. Thirty-men reported for the first work out among whom were seven letter men, including Captain McKanna, Hickman, Unger, Barker, Vail, Jacobs and Brokaw. Besides these men there were several high school stars and men who had been on the squad before but had not made letters. Cold weather prevented the squad from developing rapidly but try-outs were held each week-end and gradually the team rounded into shape for the first meet with Kemper Military Academy. Kemper had not been defeated in a dual track meet for eight years and the hopes of the Bulldogs ran high in anticipation of the coming meet but they were in vain. Kemper won the meet after a hard fight by the score of 69 to 53. Our next meet was with Central College. K. S. T. C. had never defeated Central College in a track meet but the tide turned with the score standing at 68 to 63 and only the mile relay to lx: run. Kirksville took places with determination that the score should not be tied. Hendren ran the first quarter, McKanna the second, giving Perry a lead which was lost, but Ram bo, anchor man took up the race, pushing his opponent close, finally passing him to flash down the home stretch and into the tape, giving the Bulldogs a ten point lead and winning the meet 73 to 63. Barnes of K. S. T. C. was high point man with 13, while Hendren and Hickman, also of the Bulldogs, tied for second honors with ten points each. On May 16, the Fourteenth Annual Intercollegiate Athletic Association track and field meet was held on the College Field.

New records were set in the 2-mile run, half mile relay, shot put, high jump, discus and javelin and the record in the 220 yard low hurdles was equalled. Springfield State Teachers won again with 47 points, while Kirksville was second with 37 1 '2 points, Maryville third with 36 I'2, Warrensburg fourth with 12 and Cape Girardeau last with 11 points. Davis of Springfield was high point man with 12 points, Reynaud and Hamilton, both of Springfield, tied for second with 10 and Hickman of Kirksville was next with 9 points. Kirksville swayed back and forth with Springfield, there being only a few points difference in the score until the final events. Our Iron Man Hickman started the Rai.pii Riooiks.

Hendren of the Bulldogs set a new record in the discus at 128 feet 2 14 inches, and the other Kirksville men strove to add points to the lead but finally succumtad to Springfield losing by 9 1-2 points. This was the nearest K. S. T. C. ever came to winning the State Meet. At the banquet given the track men the closing week of school, Hickman was elected to captain the 1926 Bulldog track team. Hickman is a fine athlete, a conscien- tious trainer and should lead the 1926 team to a more successful season than this one has been. The men who received letters in track are: Captain McKanna, Captain elect Hickman, Jacobs, Vail, Ramlx), Unger, Riggins, Hendren, Barnes, Streeter, and Berry. f Top Row Painter, Camp, Everhart, McKanna.

It was decided to have an intra mural tournament during the winter quar- ter. The teams represented m the tournament were Sigma Delta Tau, Sigma TauGanv ma. Army, Independents, Y. M. C. A. and the Junior High School. A round robin schedule of games was played and the Sigma Delta Tau emerged with five victories and no defeats. While they were forced at tunes to give the best basketball ability they possessed, the winners of the contest delivered at crucial moments to take every game. After winning the championship of K. S. T. C. they were challenged by the Independ- ents of K. O. C.. champions of the Osteopathic school. After a hard battle with the lx ne setters, the Sigma Delta boys came out with a clean cut victory, giving them the rights to intra mural champions of the city. The Fraternity is justly proud of their team and hope that such contests will be held every year. It was with a well balanced team that the Prat team won all of it victories. While they did not play the type of basketball that the varsity exhibited, they used a power- ful offense to keep the score out in advance of their opponents in all the games.

(� «« 11.'i I'anc 110 l:V-V ftfluste “Tli e Music Department THE Music Department of the Kirksville State Teachers College has had a long and honorable history. Starting about twenty years ago with one teacher and a few stu- dents it has grown to a faculty of six with an average enrollment of 200 during the winter and 350 in the summer. It now offers 27 different courses leading cither to the B. S. degree with Public School Music as major study, or to the degree of Bachelor of Music with Voice, Violin or Piano as major study. The Music Department has always emphasized the three primary essentials of Musi- cianship, Skill and Scholarship, realizing full well that no degree of talent and industry will guarantee for the individual a successful musical career unless his skill is based on broad cultural scholarship and sound musicianship. Among the successful graduates and former students of the Music Department may be mentioned the following: Phradie Wells, Soprano with the Metropolitan Opera Com- pany, New York; Clara Sanford, Professor of Public School Music in the I Jniversity of the City of New York; Paul Howland, clarinetist with Sousa's Band; John Neff, Director Department of Music, State Normal School, Indiana, Pennsylvania; Otto E. Graham, Supervisor of Music, Waukegan, 111.; Helen Markey, Supervisor of Music, Keokuk. Ia.; G. W. Chambers, Supervisor of Music, Iron Mountain, Mich.; Mildred Nulton, Asst. Supervisor of Music, Denver, Colo.; Mary Shouse, Supervisor of Music in California; Ben Weaver, Asst. Supervisor of Music, Rochester, N. Y.; Alpha Mayfield, member of the music faculty of State Teachers College, Cedar Falls, Ia.; R. E. Valentine. Professor of Music. Kirksville State Teachers College. In music one learns largely by doing. Vocal and instrumental ensemble classes, the chorus, the orchestra, recitals, concerts and public performances of the standard instru- mental, vocal, orchestral, choral and chamber music masterpieces, grand and light operas afford the ambitious student ample opportunity for the development of latent talent and the poise and power that come only through practical experience. A list of works performed by students of the Music Department during recent years and demanding the co-operation of vocal and instrumental forces includes the following: Grand Operas: 11 Trovatorc, The Bohemian Girl Tannhauscr, Martha S trade lid, Carmen Mignon, Mantana. Light Operas: Pinafore, The Mikado, Pirates of Penzance, The Sorcerer, Patience, The Beggar Student, Chimes of ) ormandy, Er minie, El Capitan. Ciiorai. Works: The Creation, The Seasons, The Messiah, Elijah, St. Paul, Olaf Trygvason, The Deluge, The Swan and the Sl( larl(, Phandng Crahore, The German Requiem. The works mentioned speak for the musical standards and ideals of the department and assure the student an acquaintance with the great masterpieces of all time the only foundation on which sound musicianship can be built. The demand for thoroughly prepared teachers of music is greater than the supply. Those interested in music as a cultural or professional study should write for the special Music Bulletin, issued annually by the Department of Music, which will be mailed free of charge upon request.

Twenty —cents of the student activity fee was set aside to be used for dramatic productions. This has been an advantage, both to the club, and to the student body. In the fall quar- ter The Rivals, Sheridan's famous old comedy, was given. In the winter quarter. “Ro- man Holiday, a three-act play written by Prof. C. M. Wise, was presented.

The play was well received in the many places where it was given. Many calls came in for a presentation of “The Roclft written by Mary Hamlin, so the circuit play of two years ago was revived very success' fully. This year marked the beginning of a new organization. The circuit play company organized themselves as “The Thalian Guild Players. One of the features of the work of this organization was the broadcasting of plays from the local station. It is hoped that this organization will be continued. The Dramatic Club reckons the year of 1925-26 as the most successful in a long series of successful years. p.ico r.’a Student Government OFFICERS OF THF. COUNCIL Weldon Shofstall, President Harold Rambo, Vice President Dorothy May Johnson, Secretary Margaret Ruth Thomas, Treasurer IN the fall of 1925, K. S. T. C. witnessed the birth of two active political parties whose members were intensely interested in the management of student affairs and in the participation in student government. The names Co-operative and Progressive were chosen to designate these opposing parties. The member' ship of both parties was composed of people who were leaders in the school. A greater interest was shown in this campaign than had been manifested in previous years. Fiery campaign speeches were made by the respective candidates, and electioneering became a skilled work of art. The returns of the election showed that every candidate of the Co-operative party was elected. Thus the Student Council was formed for the year. The purpose of the Student Council has been to act as a true representative of the student body, to discuss all problems of students with the idea of suggest' ing plans to the administration for the betterment of all phases of the student’s college life, and to exercise actual governing power when desirable. The Admin- istration has been deeply interested in this work, and has co-operated with the Council. In turn, the Council has made an effort to keep in close touch with both the Administration and the students, always with the view of being a true representative of the students of K. S. T. C. A new constitution has just been formed by a very capable and efficient constitutional committee, and it is believed the result will be that future councils may effectively use this instrument which embodies the unchangeable principles of government. One phase of the new con- stitution is the organization of the Council into various departments which have their specific duties and interests. The Council has done many things for the students; it has effectively managed a Good Fellowship week, which has had lasting results, it has considered seriously the problem of a student bookstore, and there is now an efficient student in charge of our bookstore, and it has given three of the most unique and original parties that were ever given on this campus. In addition, numerous minor matters have lxren discussed and acted upon. It has been the policy of the Council to invite and welcome other members of the student Ixxly to its meetings and members of the administration and faculty to come as guests. Student government to lie a success must mean something real, something tangible, to every student in K. S. 1’. C That has been the big prob- lem of the Student Council this year, and because of its success, student govern- ment will continue to grow and to become more efficient in this school.

C. a chance to have a paper of their own which will contain news that is of vital interest to them. The Index is strictly a college publication and when it has reached the point ot giving to its readers the news it has accomplished the purpose for which it was intended. The staff of the Index is made up of students of the college, who, for the most part are inter- ested in Journalism. These students select the news items which seem to be of the most interest to the students and publish them. The work is carried on by much outside work I’ftg 130 First Row Goodrich McCain, Weldon Shofstall, Smith Reed, Hugh Rouse, Mary Turner.

The class puts forth every effort to make this a good paper and most of them are true K. S. T. C. supporters. They show their loyalty by spending much time in the general makeup of the paper with special emphasis placed on the reporting assigned to them. It is with a great sacrifice of our time and pleasures that we are able to give to the school a publication which will be appreciated. Though good cooperation and fine spirit of all connected with the paper, we are acconi' plishing this end. 1’agC 131 Echo Staff A MYSTERIOUS object is any book, and strange the process by which it comes into being. The printing and binding are of course the work of great machines which turn and turn unceasingly and grind forth trim volumes, flawless, identical each with each. Rut there are other matters essential in the making of a book. Fact and spirit animate it; they trace upon white pages the characters that give it life. The fact and spirit of this Echo you have furnished. The staff to whom you assigned the task have but tried to make a complete and faithful record of the life of this school in 1925 and '26. For over half a century the men and women upon this campus have been developing the ideals of K. S. T. C. Their gift to us is the spirit of 1926. Unless something of that spirit were discernible upon every page of the Echo both you and your Echo staff would have failed. The Spirit of '26 is very real to all who are present members of the school. Friendliness, fine fellowship, loyalty, joy in our work are its watchwords. They define the qualities by which we expect to be known—as a school and as individuals The staff have spared no effort to make a book worthy of such aims. They have secured a larger representation of students and faculty than any previous year book has shown. They have tried not to omit any event or activity which we shall lie glad in the future to recall. Thanks are due to all who have had a part in the making of this Echo to President Fair and the executive force; to the artist, photo grapher, and publisher; to students, faculty, and Spirit of ‘26.

W. C. A. UR Y. W. C. A. will be thirty'one years old this May. It was organized in 1895, ten months before the Y. M. C. A., by Miss Helen Barnes, State Secretary. The initial membership was seventy' four, of whom sixty seven were active. Miss Zoe Snelling was the first president. The organization was completed just before school closed for the summer and the following fall only fourteen of the original mem' hers returned. The association's largest membership was reached in 1903 04. there then being one hundred ninety nine members. In that year a house in town was rented and fitted up as an association house. One faculty member and part of the girls roomed there. It was also a place to entertain guests. This year our membership has been about sixty five. The Y. W. C. A., m keeping with it motto I am come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly, has tried to be a worthwhile influence on the campus. The symbolic blue triangle stands for the threefold development emphasized physical, mental, and spiritual. The year has not been one of startling deeds but of quiet and uiv obtrusive attempts to help where help was needed. Several attractive and unusual programs have l een given. The little Miss Farringtons gave a marionette show in connection with the winterterm initiation services. At another program Mrs. Brock talked on Indians. At one of the January meetings Mrs. Wesley C. Davis read The Happy Prince Every program has been worthwhile to those girls who attended.

Pant' 135 Y. M. C. A. THE object of tins organization is to unite the men of the institution for the maintenance of a positive moral.and religious atmosphere; to lead students to become disciples of Jesus Christ, and students of the Book of God; to lead them to join the Church; to train students in Christian service; and to enlist them in the extension of God throughout the world. The members of the Y. M. C. A. have just reason to be proud of the work and the accomplishments of the organization this year. The membership has grown to exceed that of any other period in the history of the State Teachers College. Through the efforts of the Devotional' Man and other Cabinet members, the men have been favored with a number of excellent inspirational, educational, and entertaining nunv bers. The Association most cordially welcomes students and members of the faculty into its membership. We try to have a worth while pro' gram every Thursday evening.

I’ftKO 137 Women’s Ultfjlettc Association Women s Athletic Association THE WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION is a very live organization. During the fall quarter, nine girls won points in hiking. A number of these girls are continuing their hikes in an effort to win the State “M. The Athletic Association pin was presented to Miss Nelle Haley at the end of the fall quarter. Miss Haley has the honor of being the first member to win the gold pin which is the award given to anyone having earned 500 points in the Association. She is going to continue working for points until she earns 1.000 points and wins a monogram sweater. A volley ball tournament was held during the fall quarter, the final game of which was played during the Teachers' Convention, and was won by the Navy team. The tennis tournament had to be post poned until spring because of continual rain. During the winter quarter, the Association is larger than ever before. We have sixty members, and we are expecting an interesting basketball tournament. The members of the Association enjoyed an automobile party during the fall quarter. On December 15th, the Association gave a delightful dance to the girls of the College. A number of new songs and yells have been contributed by mem- Ixirs during the year. With such fine spirit and splendid co-operation as is manifest among our members, we are a very live and important organization in the promotion of health and good fellowship among the girls of Kirksville State Teachers College.

K CLUB as an organization began its career early in the history of -A athletic participations of K. S. T. C. This body functioned up until the war and was then broken up by most of its members joining the colors. This organi' ration had failed to function up until the spring quarter of 1925. While there had been expressions as to the willingness of reviving the organization no action was taken until last spring. Several of the athletes of K. S. T. C. became interested in such a movement and after consultation with Coach McWilliams it was deemed advisable to form a new organization. A meeting of all letter men in school was called and a com- mittee was selected to form a constitution. Using their knowledge of the old group and combining that with newer ideals, the committee set to work and soon completed a constitution which was in turn accepted by the letter men. It was so constituted that all men having earned the college letter automatically became members. All other men were to be initiated upon their having won the letter. This club was founded on the ideals of sportsmanship, the promotion of better athletics, the making of lietter athletes through training, and for the purpose of attracting young High School graduates to become students of this institution. At the first meeting after the constitution was formed, the men elected M. W. McKanna, president, Levi Craig, treasurer, and Don Vail, secretary. Committees were selected and put to work and over one hundred and fifty High School boys' names in Northeast Missouri were put on the mailing list. Several circular letters were sent out during the spring and summer and as a result sev- eral promising athletes entered our college last fall. The “K club again acted as hosts during the Track and Field Meet last spring and in this way caused several boys to signify their intentions of becoming students at K. S. T. C. At the opening of the winter quarter George Thomas was elected president and Fred Jones, secretary and treasurer. One new feature added this quarter was the “K” Club dinner held every two weeks. These dinners served also as regular business meetings for the club. On Feb. 25, 1926 the Club held their first annual dance. The main motive in this was to bring together as many alumni members as possible and revive or recall old times, also keeping former athletes ever aware of the fact that their co operation means better athletics in K. S. T. C. Standard letters and sweaters were adopted by the club and efforts made to discourage the wearing of any other award on the campus other than those won in this school. At the first meeting in the spring quarter James Streeter was elected presb dent, Clarence Ransom, vice president, and Irving Hickman, secretary and treas- urer. A benefit dance has been planned to lx given sometime during the quarter, and other activities that tend to stimulate athletics and better sportsmanship. The ”K. Club is young but steadily coming to the front as a functioning organiza- tion. P.1K0 142 — ?9i • . — Pane 113 ‘The Historical Society0 HE Historical Society of the North East Missouri State Teachers College ranks first in seniority of organization. The original con- stitution was written and adopted in the autumn of 1906, with a charter membership of eleven students. Professors J. T. Vaughan, Eugene Fair and W. G. Pooley were ex-officio members. J. H. Kinney of New Bos- ton, Missouri was the founder, while Chas. Banks of Avalon, Alice Burnham of Milan, and Grover Morgan of Monterey, Iowa were among the first officials of the organization. The present membership consists of eighteen student and seven ex-officio members. Practically every year progressive measures have been added. A new constitution has recently been adopted, and a change made in the plan of program. Round Table discussions are conducted when current topics are under consideration, while a special lecture is given each month by one of the teachers of the College. The most recent of these have been “The Youth Movement,” by Miss Sadie G. Young; The Woman of the Frontier.” by Miss Lucy Simmons, and “My Trip to the Holy Land,” by Mr. J. S. Stokes. The Violette Robinson Historical Collections are not entirely available for use or inspection at present because of the crowded condition of the museum, but interesting addi- tions have been made during the year. The Society is and has been for several years, the local representa- tive of the International Clubs which are financed by the Carnegie Foundation of International Peace. Through this organization club mem- bers are often enabled to hear worth while lectures from authorities on Contemporary International Politics. !'■� «.• Ill First Row Pauline Day, Dale Tucker, Lucy Simmons, Dr. Eugene Fair, Robert Elwood, Thomas Hutsell.

A speech club was organized this fall, consisting of the de- partment.s of reading, speaking, and debate. This club, with the dra- matic club, gives opportunity to students to do special work in four main divisions in the department of speech. Public speaking clubs have come and gone in the history of K. S. T. G., but we believe an organization is being developed that is in- elusive enough to stand for years to come. The aim of the club is to afford experience to its members in each of the divisions just mentioned. In an effort to do this, the program committee endeavors to divide the time equally, featuring one department each week. To this committee, the club owes much of its enthusiasm and growth. Unusual interest is shown and the programs steadily improved. The membership has passed sixty. The Regents Award has been incorporated into the debate di- vision of the club. Eight teams have entered the contest for the award, so kindly offered by the Board of Regents. These teams have agreed to accept the intercollegiate question as their question in the semi-final and final debates. We believe the club will have an important part in the develop- ment of men and women for future service. As the years go by, we shall appreciate more and more the opportunity that is now ours.

I’:� !' 1 151 The School of Nursing, THE School of Nursing was organized in March, Nineteen Hundred Twenty-three, through the combined effort of the Department of Hygiene and Public Health and the Grim Hospital. This was in re- sponse to a well defined need for higher educational standards for nurs- es and a closer relationship between the Nursing and Teaching profess- ions. Health is now recognized as one of the first objectives in modern education. We hope to attract students to our school who are especially interested in school and public health nursing. Our aim is to provide a course of study that will not only insure .proficiency in the art and science of nursing, but to create an understanding of the ideals and ob- jectives of Health Education. The School of Nursing is conducted under the supervision of the Division of Health and Physical Education. Nearly all of the classes are conducted in the buildings of the College. Many of the courses which student nurses are required to take arc also attended by students preparing to l e teachers, or who have already had experience in teach- ing. This contact helps to bring about a more complete understanding between these two groups which we believe is essential to the success of any health program in the public schools. The practical work is given at the Grim-Smith Hospital and Clinic which is located one block from the college campus. Each student is re- quired to spend eight months on special services in Barnes Hospital and St. Louis Children's Hospital, St. Louis, Mo. This arrangement is through the courtesy of the Washington University Training School for Nurses. The first graduating exercises were held December 9, 1925 in the John R. Kirk Auditorium. Three students were given the degree of Graduate Nurse. They were Inez M. Thompson, Erla G. Barnes and Melba DeShazer Neupert. These young women have blazed the trail and set a high standard for those who follow. We are confident it will not be lowered. I'iikc 152 First Row Beatrice Umax, Sina Cochran, Ainu Zollcr.

I'wic 153 == i’a e 154 Steflwtuma (Queen Tlte Echo Queen Beauty and Charm are sisters And seldom far apart, While one may please the careless eye The other wins the heart. For Beauty alone is helpless And cannot l(eep her own. But Charm may hold a winning hand And play the guintr alone. Ql JEEN should possess both beauty and charm if she is worthy of her name. The title itself denotes that its possessor has beauty and graciousness, charm and wit. A true Queen gives friendli- ness and good cheer to those about her, and is modest by very virtue of her position. The Queen of the Echo was for the first time in the history of K. S. T. C. chosen by a popular vote. Miss Ruth Gardner was without a doubt the popular choice of the student body. Her queenly qualities are apparent to her many admirers, and the students could not have chosen a more worthy Queen. She received the first two years of her high school education at Kirksville High School and the remaining two years from Black River Falls High School in Wisconsin. She is now a member of the Senior Class of the Kirksville Teachers (Allege where she is prominent in school activities. She is president of the Home Ec- onomics Club, a member of the Delta Sigma Epsilon Sorority, a cabinet member of the Y. W. C. A. and a campfire girl of the Oglaga Camp. Her coronation took place at the annual Christmas dance. Dean H. G. Swanson crowned her and pronounced her Queen of the Echo. The next dance was dedicated to her. Miss Gardner is modest, kind and loyal and her many friends are proud of acclaiming her Queen of the 1926 Echo.
