Personalities like his call forth the better tilings in us and form the rich tradition of this school Of all the men with whom I came in contact during my years as a student, none made a deeper impression upon my mind for earnestness, sincerity and charac ter that! did Professor Baldwin. Probably no man in the educational world of his day had a greater in flu- encc than he upon the teaching fraternity of Missouri and neighboring states. John J. Pershing, General of the Armies.

It is composed of two representatives from each class, an upper class council woman, an upper class council man. President, Treasurer, and Secretary. In the Spring of 1927 the election was very interesting, as a conse- quence of the two major parties in the field. This year the council has undertaken new responsibilities as it has the duty of selecting the editor in chief of the Index who is responsible to the council. It sjx nsored a large football banquet and dance which it is hoped will be an annual affair and has been placed on next year’s social calendar. The social committee has made careful plans this year which in- cluded the annual Christmas party, a George and Martha Washington masked ball, a successful all school party and several other functions and dances. The Student Council functions in the true sense only as long as it is representative of the students who foster it and as long as it works in harmony with the administration. It is the medium through which the students may express then voice in the government of the school which they attend and they will take pride to feel they have aided in formulating the student policy.

They plowed through one of the most difficult schedules in the history of the school to suffer but one defeat in nine games. The Bulldogs were turned back.

A sea of mud retarded the strength of both teams, as a driving downpour of lain which began alx)ut noon and continued throughout the game. Both Kirksville and Central scored touchdowns, hut Kirksville was successful in kicking the place kick making the final score seven to six. The Bulldogs showed up exceptionally well and Simpson's sixty yard run in the fu st play of the second half, for a touchdown was the feature of the game.

Home-Coming Day arrived bringing with it the game with the Warrensburg Mules the game that the Bulldogs had longed for and the one for which they were grimly prepared vengeance. As expected the game was exceedingly hard fought; the 191 ] •jy __A__ The FCIIO Winston Tfld k Fred ScHwtscLcs.

Kirksville crashed the Mules mercilessly during the first three quarters and piled up a nineteen to nothing score, in the last quarter with a flock of Bulldog reserves in the game the Warrensburg Mules fighting desperately and gamely pushed over two touchdowns. Thus ended the hectic game and the Championship was within the grasp of the Bulldogs. The same week end brought another victory to the K. S. T. C.. when the Bullpups trounced Quincy College, nineteen to eight in a hard fought battle. The entire team of reserves showed up well. Beavens and Green scored the touchdowns. On October twenty eighth the Bulldogs clashed with the famous Yellow Jackets from the Kansas State Teachers of Emporia. The game was staged in Kansas City on Muehlebach field and a thrilling battle was provided for the spectators. Emporia won the inter conference battle by a close .-core of sixteen to thirteen. In scoring upon the Yellow Jackets within the first ten minutes of the game. Kirksville went across a goal line that had not been crossed for three seasons. The Bulldogs were outplayed in the first half, but staged a wonderful comeback in the second. They held the terrific driving horde of Yellow Jackets, pushed over a touchdown and constantly threatened and harassed their opponents with an aerial attack. Kirksville won its second conference game on November fourth, and practically clinched the championship by overcoming a determined and strong opposition of’ the Springfield Bears. A forty eight yard sprint by Levi Craig in the last four minutes of the game placed the ball on the two-yard line and Simpson plunged ovei for the only and winning touchdown of the game. The Bulldogs won their sixth victory of the season, November eleventh, by an overwhelm mg score of forty-two to three over the Chillicothe Business College. On the following week the Kirksville gridders had an easy time with Oa| e Girardeau. They handed the Cape boys an eighty to nothing defeat, pulling every sort of play possible in their fun but the Indian defense could not hold them down. The score of the game and the performance of the reserve men plainly indicated that the Bulldogs were a team of championship caliber. The Bulldogs closed the season on Thanksgiving Day by crushing the Maryville eleven by a score of fifty-five to six. Thus ended one of the most brilliant seasons in the history of footkdl for K. S. T. C., with the Bulldogs proffering to the College a one-thousand percent Conference Championship. _____ —I 92 ] Schedule of Games Kirksville 7 Central . 6 at Payette Kirksvillc 21 Westininstei ... . 0- at Kirksville Kirksville 26 Penn College. . .6 at Oskaloosa, I.

The ECHO basketball Season THE basketball season was officially opened here on the night of January seventh, when the Bulldogs defeated the Chillicothe Business College in an easy game by the score of forty-two to twenty-six. The team displayed championship caliber against the Ducks, flashing a powerful defense and ever-dangerous hard-driving offense. Levi Craig stepped into his well-known stride and was high point man with fifteen points. On the following Tuesday night the Bulldogs scored their second victory of the season over Kemper. The team came from behind in the second half to administer a forty- six to twenty-two defeat. Levi Craig again “ran wild and scored twenty three points. The guarding of “Aggie Craig and “Hoot Fuerst was also a feature. On January twelfth, the Bulldogs lost a hard fought game with the Kansas City Ath- letic Club by a score of fifty-one to thirty-three. The team made a good showing against the famous Blue Diamonds, and had them somewhat puzzled throughout the first session I. [ 98 } Frank Bigsuy, Center Charlie Fishkr. Forward R apuam.

Upon the following night the Bulldogs redeemed themselves by winning a close game from the Saint Joseph Junior College by a score of thirty-two to twenty-one. !On January twentieth, the Bulldogs engaged Cape Girardeau in the first Conference game of the year. It was hard fought throughout. At the end of the fit st half Cape lead by a score of sixteen to fourteen, and in the second half the score was tied several times, but with three minutes to go the Bulldogs staged a brilliant offensive and tucked the game away safely by a score of thirty-three to twenty. On the next night the boys lost a game to Con- cordia one of the strongest teams in Saint Louis. Inability to hit the basket in the first half cost them the game. The final score was thirty to nineteen The basketball fans were offered a rare treat on the night of January twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth, when De Bernardi brought his famous Cook-Paint team here to engage the Bulldogs. The boys lost both of the games against the since-crowned National Cham- pions but their team-work and clean play brought an unqualified support from a crowd that packed Kirk Auditorium. The first game was fast and hard fought, the Bulldogs, however. Jam� .s Cottle, Guard James Streeter. Forward Clauop Hooprt. Forward were not able to cope with the machine-like offense of the Cook Painters; the final score was twenty-nine to seventeen. The score of the second game was thirty-eight to nineteen. On February fourth the Bulldogs left on the most difficult and crucial trip of the season to play three Conference games. The Ixrys lost their first game to Warrensburg by a score of forty-six to thirty-three, but some cheer was found in the fact that the Bulldogs broke even with Springfield. The first game with them was close and hard fought, the score being twenty-five to twenty-one. However, on the following night, by playing a stellar defensive game the Bulldogs emerged triumphant by a score of twenty-eight to nineteen. By scoring a double victory over Cape on the nights of February tenth and eleventh, by scores of thirty-one to twenty-five and thirty-four to twenty-six, the Bulldogs again began their drive for the M. I. A. A. championship. Next week the Bulldogs engaged the strong Maryville team on their home court and against great odds and heroic effort were able to split honors with the Bearcats. The first game went to the Bulldogs by a score of twenty to fourteen. Maryville took the second by a score of thirty-eight to sixteen. I ioo| A Fki i Faurot. Forward Arum Wells, Guard Bkrt Lampoon, Guard The crucial game of the season was ushered in on the night of February twenty'sec- ond. The Bulldogs met their old enemy, Springfield, on the home court. It was a desperate game for the M. I. A. A. lead, and possibly the championship, was at stake. The battle raged back and forth, the teams playing neck and neck until near the end Springfield, led by the dazzling stars, Fox and Stark, forged ahead. But the Bulldogs playing like demons came back and lacked only two points,of tying the score. The gallant spurt was in vain and the final score was thii ty-eight to thirty-one in favor of Springfield. On the following week the Bulldogs and the Warrensburg Mules split a hard-fought series of two games on the home court. The Mules won the first game by a twenty-one to twenty-six victory, but on the following day the Bulldogs clearly showed their superiority by taking the second game by a score of forty-five to twenty-seven. The Bulldogs closed the basketball season in fashion by a victory over Maryville by a score of forty-two to thirty. Captain Hi Simmons and Levi Craig playing then last games for the K S. T. C. were in fine form and closed their careers in glorious fashion. { KB 1 The ECHO lkicl{ Ron Don Faurot ;Coach), Raphael Miistead.

The Editor-iivChief and the Business Manager are elected every spring and with the two staffs, editors and managers, appointed by them in the fall, produce the Echo for that school year. This is the thirtydirst volume of the book and every staff has very commendably attempted to make its publication more attractive; but while beauty has been partly our objective wc have placed truthful representation above it and have attempted to stay adroitly out of the competition, making the book attractive in a different sense.

Index has been justly named since it serves as an insight to the various happenings of tiie faculty and the student body. There have been several publications under dif- ferent names, the first being the “Midsummer. ' issued in 1888 by a class in rhetoric and consisting of four pages. The paper now is and has been for several years published under the supervision of the class in Journalism. The Index, serving as a laboratory for the practical study of Journalism, is a weekly publication and ranks with the lx st of the papers of other colleges.

MUSIC AND STAGE r mu The ECHO c Dramatic Club THE past year lias been one of the most productive years that the Dramatic Club has ever experienced. The quarterly full-evening plays have been unusually well chosen and performed. List spring, the play was “Rollo's Wild Oat.’ by Clare Rummer, directed by Mr. John Shaver. This was an interesting, modern comedy. The big summer production was Twelfth Night, a Shakespear- ian comedy. The Romancers, by Edmond Rostand was presented twice in Kirksville during the fall, once for the visitors attending the Northeast Missouri State Teachers meeting, and once for the usual audience. Mr. Cliff Cornwell directed !x th “Twelfth Night” and The Romancers. The winter quarter play has been called by the majority, the highest peak in achievement that the Dramatic Club has gained so far since its birth in 1911. The play in question was a satirical comedy by Marc Connelly and George S. Kaufman, called “Beggar , CTn. The ECHC ‘Dramatic Club on Horseback, and directed by Mr. Claude Shaver. This was a play having popu- lar appeal as well as being one to which interested those interested in the more technical side of drama, who noted the rapid scene shifts, the lighting effects, and the complete feeling of illusion which was produced. The Thalian Guild, an organization within the Dramatic Club, has spent a profitable year. The players of this group presented “The Romancers as the circuit play. They visited many of the neighboring towns, going in the college bus or in cars and always carrying with them their own stage scenery and prop- ernes. Audiences have always showed great appreciation of this treat of drama, which is often the only entertainment other than the movies which visits these small towns. The Thalian Guild Players, along with The Good Friends Com- pany, an organization from the Speech Club doing similar work, were given a write-up and picture space in the St. Louis Post Dispatch because of their unique work. I 115 j The ECHO c Dramatic Club I Inn sday evening always finds a large crowd gathering in the Little Theatre foi the regular Dramatic Club meeting. At this time a one-act play, memorized and costumed is given. Because of the interest townspeople have shown in these weekly productions, each play is given twice, once at 6.45 for visitors, and again at 7:15 for members of the club. Recently Mr. Wise has devised a scheme whereby plays written by student.- in his Dramatic Composition classes are staged at these meetings. In this way the Dramatic Club performs the function of a lab' oratory for student writers. A rapidly growing wardrobe is maintained to costume the plays. This is self supporting and gives the neighboring schools the opportunity to secure cos- tumes at a very small rental price. Dramatic Club, however, has a great deal of fun. besides doing its construe' tive work. There are such occasions as the summer picnic, the Not Yourself party The ECHO' ‘Dramatic Club in the fall, and the Mulligan Stew in the winter. Oi perhaps one of the teachers invites those interested in drama to spend the evening at his house and they read a play together or enjoy some music. Its chief function is to further the interests of good drama not only in this school but in all neighboring schools. It accomplishes this by keeping in close contact with teachers it sends forth, the publishing of bulletins, and the mani- festation of a general interest in all dramatic attempts. The outstanding feature of the Dramatic Club is its feeling of friendliness. There is no other organization on the campus which has a stronger esprit de corps or tetter morale. Each member feels an interest in and a dependence on every other member without any forced loyalty. Anyone who has had any connection with the club cannot help noting and remembering the friendliness, splendid co-opera- tion, dependability, and willingness to work, that is manifested here, and the distinct atmosphere that greets one in “Ye Friendly Little Theatre. fM7] The ECHO The College Chorus THE CHORUS is an organisation which gives students an opportunity to discover their musical talents. In past years this organization has given public performances of many grand operas, light operas and choral works. Prominent among these are: Grand Operas: “11 TrovaCore, “The Bohemian Girl,..Eannhauser. Martha, 'Stradella, “Carmen, “Mignon, Maritana. Light Operas: “Pinafore, The Gondoliers, The Mikado, “Pirates of Penzance, The Sorcerer. “Patience, The Beggar Student, Chimes of Normandy,” Ermine, El Capitan. Choral Worlds: “The Creation. The Seasons, St. Paul, The Messiah. Elijah, Olaf Trygvason, “The Deluge, The Swan and the Skylark, “The German Requiem. For the present year the emphasis has been on choral music instead of on opera. A be- ginning has been made in A cappella singing. This will be developed. Through this or ganization, the (College Chorus, many tine voices are found. Often they are possessed by students who least suspect that they have good voices. It was in this organization that Phradie Wells, now soprano with the Metrojx)litan Opera Co., New York City, had her first experience in singing. The Kirksville Choral Society0 Those students who become the most proficient singers in the College Chorus are admitted to membership in the Kirksville Choral Society, an organization of carefully picked singers. This society will give public performances at various times through the year, of large and small choral works. The Choral Society is made up of singers who are in love with this type of work. There is no credit given for singing in this organization. Every member is in it because he is genuinely interested in developing fine choral singing. From the spirit manifested in the society, which at the time of this writing is only three weeks old, we predict for it a very happy future. ijjpr Tin; ECHO '5' -z. (riie Division of Arts TUP. purpose of the Division of Arts is to offer to the student, or prospective teacher, of Fine Arts, Speech 01 Music, sound training, practical experience and the opportunity to base the formation of his artistic and cultural ideals on a thorough familiarity with the masterpieces of art in the field of his choice. The work of the Division has been strengthened in various ways during the past year. Several faculty members have been away on leave of absence for pur poses of study. Others will be away for a similar purpose next year. The physical equipment of the Division has been improved. Offices and studios have been refurnished. Glass rooms have been equipped with necessary apparatus for teaching. Many books, musical scores and records have been added to the library. Substantial appreciation of what the Division has to offer in cultural train- ing for life or professional training for teaching has been evidenced by a gratify- ing increase in enrollment, particularly in the number of major students. Plans for the immediate future include the erection of an Arts Building on the campus which will bring the various units of the Division together uiulei one roof and m rooms suited to their respective needs. Both faculty and students are looking forward to the realization of this plan with hopeful enthusiasm. f 119 1 I («i 3 CLUBS 5“T ? __'p t 121 } The ECHO Ellen H.

During the first ten years of its growth A. S. A. entered seminaries, finishing schools, colleges, and universities. By 1911 Alpha Sigma Alpha had established thirteen chap ters but in 1914 a convention was held at Miami I University during the Thanksgiving holidays at which time Alpha Sigma Alpha changed and became a National Teachers College Sorority. The constitution, ritual, symbols, and customs were changed and it was arranged that they should be conducted in accordance with the best Hellenic traditions. In the fall of 1921 Alpha Sigma Alpha entered the field of the teachers colleges of great universities, the first being Theta Theta in Boston University. It is the present intention of A. S. A. toentet no sch x l not of the high est rank, and to consider none where the faculty is not in sympathy with the sorority. Alpha Beta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha was first known in Kirksville as Kappa Theta Psi but in 1914 it changed from a local to a National organization. PATRONESSES Mrs. V. P. Bondurant Mrs. M. D.

Since the founding of Alpha Chapter at Lafayette (College four other institutions have installed chapters of the fraternity: Beta Chaptei at the University of Pitts- burgh; Gamma Chapter at Cornell University, Delta Chapter at Alabama Poly- technic Institute, and Epsilon Chapter at Northeast Missouri State Teachers College. Several other colleges are now petitioning for chapters. In October 1927 the Faculty Council of this college endorsed the organiza- tion of a chapter of the fraternity. Ten students of the college then jx-titioned Alpha Phi Omega for a chapter. Two months later the Supreme Council of the fraternity granted a charter to the group and appointed Scout Executive Rii hard S. Griffith of ihe Kirksville Council as its official representative to install the chapter. The installation services of Epsilon Chaptei were held Decembci 13, 1927 and the officers were also installed at this meeting. The purpose of the fraternity as stilted in the national constitution “ shall lx- to assemble those who have had experience and training under the Scout Oath and Law. to revive the spirit of that Oath and Law, to develop friendship, to encourage service, and to enable its members to Ivcome leaders of America's youth through character-building, citizenship, college spirit and manly strength. Membership in Alpha Phi Omega is open to college students of good scho- lastic and social standing who have l ecn or are now mcmltcrs of the Boy Scouts of America. Honorary membership is granted by the chaplet to men who are now leaders in scout work or who have been especially active in scouting in the past. Alpha Phi Omega is still in its infancy but because, u is the only fraternity of its kind in the world and because the scout movement has spread so rapidly, not only in the United States but in other countries as well, it is expected to be- come one of the strongest and most influential honorary international fraternities. r «ft i Si ma Zeta Clai.de Cleeton, President James Bailey, Secretary Charles Pemberton, Vice-President Hrnest Hedberg, Treasurer Professor W.

This young lady has exception- ally interesting eyes, among other pleasing features, and her coiffure is particularly well adapted for her type. In Group 1, I selected Number 2; in Group 2 I chose Number 4, and in Group 4, Number 10, each having a combina- tion of attractive features that led to her selection.

But social interdependence is not a perfect condition; nor does it approach perfection until the individuals of a society learn to govern, and discriminate in, their relations with associates. So may we learn to be agreeable; to have sentiment without senti- mentality; to recognize the shortcomings of humans without unneces- sarily attributing mean motives or becoming cynical; and all such funda- mentals of social conduct. And after we have gone may we lookback and see this Teachers College as something more than a place to acquire the fundamentals of schooling and discipline. C 4utog,raplis [ 100 1 The ECHO G - ’ :
