It has beon the hope of tho staff to bring you a new and u more pictorial Echo. You can now aee If our efforts huv - been in vain because - N-« YOU HAVE it; Sincerely yours, Joseph Baldwin LOOKING FORWARD . . . from a past of seventy-two years you might anticipate a great future for our school, especially when you consider the charges that have taken place during that period of time. Some of these changes have been in the curriculum, in the methods of instruction, in organizations, in the students, in the admin- istration, in the campus, and even in the college yearbook. Through the years from the time of the first president and pio- neer educator, Joseph Baldwin, a continual growth and expan- sion has taken place in the school along with the progress and development of our state and nation. It was in 1867 that Pro- fessor Baldwin established his Normal School which was later to become the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College. From this humble start the school has risen to be one of the leading teacher training institutions in the country. This achievement has been mostly the work of the great men who in the past have guided the school, such as those two late pres- idents, John R. Kirk and Eugene Fair. Undoubtedly the years to come will unfold another great chapter in the history of the school. The progressive spirit of President Walter 11. Ryle, who has served for the past two years, is evidenced by the expansion into two new buildings, the establishing of a new curriculum and other forward steps, and it is therefore to him that we make this . . . DEDICATION Dr. Walter H. Ryle 20,-,H wcC)c; 10 BUILDINGS Ideas thrive in congenial and comfortable surroundings and progress results. Among the worthwhile objects created at the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College to give worthwhile ideas space for growth have been new buildings. When students returned from the Christmas vacation, the transformation of $350,000, a plot of ground, and architectural intellect was complete in the form of a new Administration-Fine Arts building, an addition to the Ophelia Parrish Demonstration School, a new field house, and the beginnings of a landscaping and beautifying program. Baldwin Hall, the administration building, was a welcome outlet for the crowded condition in the older campus buildings. Its three-story spaciousness immediately became filled with the administration offices, the division of language and literature, the division of fine arts, and the division of business education. In one wing of Baldwin Hall is a theater for productions by the Little Theater group. Progress is more than suggested by this building with its broad, friendly halls, its sound proof rehearsal rooms for music classes, its well lighted art studios, its roomy offices, and its general spaciousness. The addition of sixteen rooms and a gymnasium to the Ophelia Parrish School is but material proof of the growth of the education division. The construction of the addition enables the progressive leaders of this division to expand their ideas and carry out their ideals. With some of the college divisions removed from the formerly crowded buildings, work has begun for expansion in the remaining divisions. In a v ell rounded education the body must be as fit as the mind To help with this ideal the new field house was con- structed. This one-story brick and tile building is on Stokes Field, where football games and track meets take place. An ornamental entrance of Carthage limestone and brick has been erected at the north side of the campus, the beginning of the landscaping and beautifying program. 1 INAUGURATION Dr Walter Harrington Ryle was inaugurated as the seventh president of the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College on the nineteenth of May, 1938. Dr. Ryle succeeded the late Presi- dent Eugene Fair and continued the tradition that presidents of this college are trained in service on the campus. He was a stu dent under both John R. Kirk and Eugene Fair, the two preceding presidents. The inauguration of President Ryle in the seventy-two year old history of the Teachers College was a symbol of continued progress. Leaders of all fields expressed well placed confidence in the ability of President Ryle to carry on the ideals of progressive education on that inauguration day. Thus far that prediction has become a reality. There is a reason to believe it will always be so. An eventful day was the nineteenth of May. The inaugura tion convocation was held in Kirk Auditorium at ten o'clock. Dean L. A. Eubank presided and Dr. Sidney Clarence Garrison, president of George Peabody College for Teachers, gave an address. The president of the Board of Regents, Judge James A. Ooolev, gave the charge to the new president, and Dr. Ryle gave the inaugural address. Thirty-nine visiting colleges and univer- sities were represented at the inauguration. Congratulations were offered by Dr. Ryle's classmates of 1916, presidents and other administraiive officials of the visiting schools, the faculty of the Teachers College, townspeople inter ested in the growth of the college, various friends of Dr. Ryle, Governor Lloyd C. Stark of the State of Missouri, and alumni and former students under the new president. After the inauguration there was a corner-stone ceremonial at the new Baldwin Hall. Lloyd W. King, state superintendent of schools, presided and Governor Stark gave an address. Fol- lowing the corner stone ceremonial, the Class of 1916 were guests of President and Mrs. Ryle at a luncheon at the Masonic Temple. That afternoon President Ryle conferred degrees upon the graduating class. That evening there was a banquet, fol- lowed by a reception and Inaugural Ball.

Tested by this axiom the Board of Regents of the Teachers College appears most favor- ably. From this group comes approval or rejection of ideas concerning policies and plans to be used in the further develop- ment of the College. The fact that the College definitely has improved and is now in the midst of a March of Progress proves the mettle of the Board of Regents. In a commendable manner the six members have taken the responsibility of guiding the policies of the school. Dr Walter H Ryle Robert McKinney Gladys Johnson PRESIDENT Continued growth in the well-being and prestige of the Teachers College has again been assured by the progressive leadership of President Walter H. Ryle in his second year as chief administrator. President Ryle's selection carries on the excellent work started by the late presidents John R. Kirk and Eugene hair. His appointment is in keeping with the tradition of this school that the president shall have been trained under the preceding pres ident, thereby enabling him to continue progress smoothly. Lj.U ADMINIS The college is composed of a four- fold administrative set-up with the president heading the groups. Besides Dean Eubank, who is in charge of in- struction, each of the other divisions has a head who is responsible for the functioning of his department. First is the division of personnel service headed by Mr. N. W. Rickhoff, who deals with the personal problems of students and relationships between the .students and the school. Included in this division are the guidance bu- reau under Dr. C. W. Martin, and the - dean of women, Mrs. S. H. Ellison. Next is the division of extension ser- vice under Mr. J. T. Angus which is made up of four bureaus: field service, in which Mr. Stanley Hayden visits and serves the high schools of the dis- trict; correspondence and extension teaching under Mr. W. S. Pemberton assisted by Noah Richardson who sees to the grading and accrediting of non- resident students; placement under Mr. Angus who aids in the placing of graduates and alumni in teaching positions; alumni activities under Mr Clifton Cornwell who keeps a record of our alumni and their activities. Mr. Henry Enochs heads the busi- ness office and is responsible for the maintenance of grounds and build- ings. The stenographic office where tests, syllabi, and class materials are typed, is also directed by the business office. The janitors, organized under the business office and headed by Mr. Howard Vickroy, keep the buildings clean, while a competent crew of car- penters and engineers see to repairs needed to keep the plant in condition. 20 LIBRARIES A most cosmopolitan group is served by the various divisions of the Teachers College library. There students, professors, in- structors mingle freely. This year the library has expanded and now includes a new periodical room for magazines and current newspapers and a room devoted to children's literature and Missouriana. Improvements have been made in the main libra- ry in Pickier Memorial Building, in the library at the Ophelia Parrish Demonstration School, and in the library at the Green- wood Demonstration School. A fund of $6,000 was received by the Teachers College from the Carnegie Foundation to assist in buying new books for the libraries. The endowment, which is in addition to the usual state fund given for the purchase of new books, must be used within the next three years. To Miss Ethel Hook, director of libraries; Miss Sylva Brown, librarian; and Miss Clara Yadon, cataloguer, go the responsi- bility for guiding an efficient part of the Teachers College. Miss Hook Miss Brown Miss Yadon DEMONSTRATION SCHOOLS When Joseph Baldwin founded his academy for teachers he did not overlook the need for actual experience in the classroom. He provided a model school in which students of all ages and grades were enrolled. Today two large schools are provided for the observation and practice teaching of Teachers College students. Greenwood Demonstration School is modern not only in its plant but in its methods of teaching. Here, under the direction of Dr. C. H. Allen, sixty-hour students and elementary education majors observe the work of experienced teachers and put into use some of the theories learned in the class room. The Ophelia Parrish School, directed by Mr. Felix Rothschild, is the center of demonstration projects. Much of the practice teaching of college students is done in this junior high school, which has 525 enrolled. The modern idea of integration is carried out in the demon- stration schools. With social science as a core subject, several projects are now being carried on with other subjects taught around the core, especially emphasizing their effect on man and his civilization.

W. Heyd Adviser STUDENT COUNCIL Since 1912 the Student Council of the Teachers College has been participating in the government of student affairs. All ac- tivities receive the attention of this group of fifteen students who meet every week. The council duties include collecting activity fees, arranging All-School dances, assisting in selecting and paying for assemblies, aiding in plans for the All-School carni- val, and securing picture shows. This year the Student Council president is John X. Waters and the treasurer Wendell Gudka. Professor J. W. Heyd is the faculty sponsor. 23 DEAN A prime reason for the consistent clicking of the Teachers College need not take a paragraph for explanation. A name mentioned is sufficient if that name is Dean Louis A. Eubank. A typical day for Dean Eubank might find him securing another excellent assembly program, interviewing prospective degree takers, dictating the usual letters, assisting a faculty com- mittee, and helping arrange curricula for coming quarters and sessions. All activities are carried out in a poised manner that comes from experience and a well integrated personality. Dean Eubank Mrs Summers Mm. Van Laningham FACULTY Miss Dabney Miss Cornel: 26 BRUSH AND CANVAS The Art department, besides turning out a new group of art teachers each year, also gives its students the foundation they need should they desire to study art in a special school with the idea of becoming professional artists. During the course of each school year the department sponsors three small and one large art exhibit loaned by the American Federation of Arts. The Teachers Colleye is a mem ber of that body. When you walk through the rooms of the art department in its new home on the third floor of Baldwin Hall, you are literally surrounded with color. In one room students are designing costumes and sets for famous plays such as Hamlet or Macbeth; on one wall is a mural depicting a negro lodge meeting; an easel supports a portrait of a classmate done by an art student working in oils. In another room a class is studying design and working out original figures and plates for wallpaper and tapestries, while another group is busy with miniature looms weaving what resemble abbreviated versions of Indian blankets, and making rugs. 17 HAMMER AND SAW The Industrial Arts department of the Arts Division provides a comprehensive training for potential Industrial Arts teachers and craftsmen. Under the supervision of Professor B. W. Leib, the department offers courses along four lines: drafting, wood working, metalworking, and educational theory. In the first three a foundation may be laid for one or more vocations such as architect, engineer, machinist, carpenter, or designer. If a student wishes to become a draftsman, he may receive instruction in mechanical drawing, machine drawing, architec tural drawing and design. The woodworking shop provides opportunity for the student to develop skill in the working of wood. Me produces articles such as tables, chairs, stands, and desks for practical use in the home. In the metalworking shop there are engine lathes, forges, drills, grinders, electric welding equipment, and tools for pipe fitting and for sheet metalworking. Many of the shop products have high practical value. Mr. Leib Mr. Biggerstafl 28 Mr. B. Stout Mr. Vaisr.tine Mr Webb SHARPS AND FLATS Music is an important element in education. Society every- where recognizes that music is not merely a pastime, but that a knowledge of music is considered one of the essentials of a well-educated individual. The music department has a threefold purpose: first, to pro- vide a thorough, comprehensive course for those wishing to become teachers or to those entering a professional career; sec- ond, to offer to students cultural courses that may be combined with the complete literary course in the college; and third, to give to the college community cultural advantages. The Teachers College, long recognized as a college with an exceptionally strong music department and faculty, is making progress and keeping abreast of the times. The music department housed in new Baldwin Hall has all the facilities of a well-rounded department. New sound proof prac tice rooms, new pianos, a large new practice room for choir, band and orchestra, together with a group of music enthusiasts, is bound to have an effect on the college. Whether it be training on an instrument, vocal lessons or courses in the theory of music, the music department fills every need. Professor j. L. Biggerstaff and Mr. Kemble Stout are in charge of piano instruction. To Dr. Barrett Stout and Mr. R E. Valentine belong the job of training voices. Mr. Karl Webb is leader of the band and teaches courses in strings and brass. Mr. John Goetzc instructs in the instrumental section. With the ever increasing problem of leisure time, music is becoming an important factor in community life. The music de- partment wishes to so enrich the lives of the student body that they may not only appreciate the more beautiful in music, but may also be able to participate in its performance. Mr. Goetze Mr K. Stout 30 The Division of Education lends to the Teachers College the distinction of being a professional as well as a liberal arts school. The purpose of the division is to prepare students to become teachers capable of making practical the educational theories taught in the division. To assist in bridging the gap between theory and practice, the Teachers College has two demonstra- tion schools for practice teaching. Dr. C. H. Allen is the director of the Greenwood Demonstration School and Professor Felix Rothschild of the Ophelia Parrish Demonstration School. Fortunate is the Division of Education in having as its head Dean L. A. Eubank. Under his leadership, members of the divi- sion have made a study of required courses in education and have eliminated many duplicated units. Instructors in the Division of Education are Dr. L. A. Eubank, Dr. C H. Allen, Miss Jane Crow, Mr. Stanley Hayden, Miss Ethel Hook, Dr. C. W. Martin, Miss Sallie Pattinson, Mr. N. W. Rickhoff, Mr. Felix Rothschild, Miss Willie Whitson, and Miss Leona Decker. Mr. Martin Mr. Rickhoff Miss Decker Miss Pattinson RECIPES AND PATTERNS The Department of Home Economics represents the oldest institution in the world, the home. Its courses present not only classes in dietetics and food problems, but also give practical experience in home management. Classes in textiles, care and training of the child, and costume design round out the program. Home Economics is an ever broadening field and its curricu- lum is constantly changing. Now, as ever, home economics involves the study of foods and clothing, and too, the subjects of chemistry, sociology, art, and economics. The home management house affords a practical laboratory for the practice of household arts. Here the girls are confronted with the duties of real home life. Recently a course, Problems of Everyday Living, has been added to the curriculum. Several boys have taken the course and have found it highly valuable. Dr. Llora MaGee, head of the division, teaches the household arts; Miss Minnie Kennedy teaches the household science courses. 32 Miss Zoller Dr. Green SAY AH! The Health Department offers complete training in health education from the teacher's standpoint. It offers ten hours in departmental education alone. It equips teachers in both health examination and supervision and administration. Also it main- tains a clinic with modern medical equipment free to students. The chief aim of the department, aside from equipping stu- dents with technical knowledge, is to show the correlation be- tween mental and physical health and the interdependence of the two as a basic element of success. The department is headed by Dr. C. R. Green who is assisted by Miss Alma Zoller, R.N. and B.S. in Health Education. Miss Zoller is in charge of laboratory work, assists in health examina- tion, and teaches several classes. Dr. Green heads the clinic and teaches administrative courses. 33 Mr. Eiken Mr. Svondsen Miss Fuller Miss Jones BRAWN AND POISE Misses Frances Fuller and Margaret Ruth Jones are in charge of the women's physical education department. One of their main functions is to offer adequate physical training and de- velopment for every girl in college. They strive to develop skills and attitudes to train college girls to live more happily. Coaches Earl Svendsen and Malcolm Eiken head the men's physical education department. Besides the required physical education course for freshmen, courses in administration and theory of teaching physical education are offered for those get- ting majors or minors in this field. Tumbling, basketball, volleyball, aerial darts, badminton, ten- nis, and football are the major sports studied in this department. Mr. Selby 34 Miss Roborts Miss Bru r.r. DEBITS AND CREDITS After climbing to the third floor of Baldwin Hall and turning to the right we find the Division of Business Education. The division is headed by Dr. P. O. Selby, whose teaching came after school studies and actual business experience. In his work of adviser to aspiring business teachers, Dr. Selby emphasizes that they must know their skills better than the students they are to teach know them. Miss Freda Bruns and Miss Ruth L. Roberts complete the list of full time business education teachers. Miss Bruns' interest in business is held by the parade of new, time-saving devices. For instance, she is interested in the simplified typewriter keyboard and vertical and visible filing cases, which are being introduced in the business field. She feels the commercial field is also a field of extraordinary opportunity at present because of the ex- pansion and creation of government agencies. Miss Roberts' first love was Latin and Greek, but when her sister came home from college and could type, her interest in languages gave way to the typewriter, adding machine, and calculator. 35 NOUNS AND VERBS Besides the regular courses in English and American litera- ture, and in composition, a unique course planned and taught by Dr. Nan L. Wade and Miss Vera Fawcett is included in the Literature and Language division. Organized in units centering around character traits rather than around countries or periods, the world literature course acquaints students with some o[ the best literature of the world and at the same time is a powerful influence on character building. Especially fortunate is the College in its instructors of modern languages. German is taught by Mr. J. W Heyd, who has spo- ken German as well as English all his life. Miss Wade, who teaches French, has been well qualified for her position by living a year in France. She holds her doctorate in that subject. Although the demand for Latin has greatly decreased, small classes still study Virgil and Horace under Miss Viola Magee's instruction. Working on the principle that writing cannot be learned from a text book, Miss Agnes Slemons requires practically an essay 36 a day from students in advanced composition classes. Fresh- man composition is taught by the laboratory plan. Its main pur- pose is to teach incoming students the best methods of study by use of outlining, how to write an examination, and how to do research and write a comprehensive paper on their findings. This year those assisting in this work are Misses Viola Magee, Agnes Slemons, Berenice Beggs, Vera Fawcett, Dr. Helen Ogg, and Mr. S. J. Collins. They attempt to develop each student according to his needs. Although its primary purpose is to train speech teachers, the speech department also aids students with defects in speech and trains all students how to add resonance and modulation to their Miss Wade Mr Cornwell Miss Fawcett Miss V. Magee 37 voices. Miss Ruth Curtis, Messrs. Clifton Cornwell, E. S. Avison, and S. J. Collins, the speech faculty, are also vigilant in their search for students who are likely to succeed in professional speech work. Special training in the methods of teaching English is given English majors by Miss Berenice Beggs. She also directs and assists English majors in their practice teaching. Mr. J. W. Heyd heads the Literature and Language division as well as teaching German and certain English courses. The division is ranked as one of the strongest in the State and turns out strong teachers. Mr. Collins Miss Oqg Mr Avison Miss Curtis 38 ATOMS AND MOLECULES Future teachers of agriculture, biology, chemistry, physics, and general science along with the engineers, doctors, and den- tists of tomorrow gather over microscope and test tube and perform experiments and observe the reactions of the scientific world. Seven faculty members devote their time to the teaching of courses in the science division. Mr. Norvell C. Allen is full-time instructor of agriculture; with Messrs. J. S. Stokes and Charles Noble part-time instructors in the same department. Dr. Willis J. Bray, who is head of the entire science division, also heads the chemistry department. Dr. Wray M. Rieger also teaches chemistry. Dr. Frank H. Trimble teaches physics. Dr. Lewis Clevenger is head of the biology department. Mr. Dray Mr. Stokus Mr. Allen 39 Mr. Clevenger Mr. Noble Besides the courses falling in four departments, a course in general astronomy is offered by Mr J. S. Stokes, and two in geology by Dr. Rieger. Much of the instruction of the division of science is done by the laboratory method. There are five different laboratories, two for chemistry, and one each for physics, biology and agri- culture. Here amid an atmosphere of hydrogen sulfide or embalmed cats, work is carried on in the footsteps of Mendel, Pasteur, Darwin, Newton, Galileo, Mendeleef, and Mosely. With more room in the Science Hall since the opening of the new buildings the department soon expects to double its labora tory space by expanding into the former art rooms. This division has been especially crowded. Mr Trimble Mr Ri«ge: 40 The records established by the science majors of this colleae in graduate schools of different mid-western universities may well be a source of pride to the instructors of science. They show that a sound basic training in science was obtained here. In conjunction with the recent development in the Teachers College, that of two years general college work before any pro fessional work is undertaken, the science division offers Man and the Scientific World ', taught by Dr. W. J. Bray. This course, required of all students, is intended to give a survey of and orientation in the fields of science. 41 ONE PLUS TWO That very necessary division of study, mathematics, is headed on this campus by Mr. G. H. Jamison. Speaking on the history of the subject, he says that it has been an essential back ground of civilization. From both necessity and interest every nation has developed, throughout the past, its own system of mathematics. Mr. Jamison sees, aside from the material value of math- ematical knowledge, a chance to acquire habits of thinking which can and should be carried over into daily life. Mr. W. S. Pemberton, professor of mathematics, echoes those ideas. Mr. Pemberton believes that even if students don't get the right answer when working problems, they should get habits of neatness, accuracy, logical thinking, and concentration. The answer fits only one specific problem, but those traits are at a premium anywhere. Mr. Jamison Mr. Pemberton Mr. McClure Miss Sirr!mon3 Mrs. Clevenger Mr Burroughs 42 DATES, FACTS AND LAWS Over 3503 hours each school year are spent teaching in the classroom by the nine members of the social science faculty. Considering the students who take these classes, the equivalent of about thirty years is passed in the classrooms each nine months. The past year has seen the social science division grow in both personnel and building space. Two new members were added to the faculty, and moving of other divisons left the Pickier Memorial Library Building to social science. Heading this division is Dr. C. H. McClure, who teaches his- tory and political science. Dr. McClure has spent brief periods •13 on the campus the past two years due to leaves of absence. Miss Lucy Simmons has served as acting head of the depart- ment during Dr. McClure's absences. Her special field is Amer ican History. Once each week she speaks on current-world affairs to five hundred students. Classes in European and Oriental history are taught by Dr. Glenn V. Burroughs. When not hunting teaching jobs for Teach- ers College students, Mr. J. T. Angus teaches classes in Back ground of the Modern World. Dr. V. Don Hudson is on the social science faculty as instructor of political science, empha- sizing governmental functions rather than organization. Economics and sociology classes under Dr. Clara Clevenger stress our complex economic and social organizations. Miss Mary Frances Jensen, new this year, in her geography classes stresses less the remote and unusual and more the natural, com- mon, but vital things. Dr. F. D. Hewitt, our other new social science teacher, conducts classes in “Background and in re- ligious education where the student is equipped to meet com munity problems. Mr. N._ W. Rickhoff teaches a social science class, Problems of the Modern World. A:. Hewitt Hudson liss Jensen ATHLETICS Co-Captain Yasksw 46 Co-Captain Roark Coach Eikcn Coach Svendsen FOOTBALL With Coach Bud Svendsen and Malcolm Eikcn taking over the coaching reins of the Bulldogs, the Kirksville crew played through an eight game schedule, winning three and losing five. Two of the setbacks might have resulted in wins had Lady Luck smiled on the Blue and White. The Kirksville eleven opened the season with a win over the Wildcats of Culver-Stockton. A long pass, Hudson to Atwood, 47 Boys, it's our first conference game. V e've got to take this Springfield outfit by three touchdowns tonight! Warrcnsburg 19; Kirksville 0. Prater punts from behind the goal line, against East Texas. Coach Svcndsen does a bit of orating. Warrensburg stops the Bulldogs, but not ,until after a gain on a quick line thrust. was the deciding factor. The Carthage College eleven came to Stokes field and went home with a 3-0 victory. Tackling the first of the M.I. A. A. foes, the Bulldogs roared through the Springfield Bears 20-0. Gregory was the '‘Dogs big offensive punch, while the entire Bulldog forward wall lived up to its standard. Coach Svendsen, with his band of determined warriors, next attacked the Cape Girardeau Indians. The Redinen had won sixteen straight games, and had not been scored upon in the last eleven until the Bulldogs were turned loose. The Purple and White annexed a thrill-packed struggle 7-3. Co Captain Roark crossed the pay station from the three-yard line in the first quar- ter. Injured Co-Captain Yaskiw was quickly shot into the game for the extra point conversion. Gregory, Atwood, Landrum, Parsons, and Ward contributed to the Bulldog cause. The later-to-be champions of the conference, the Maryville Bearcats, clawed the Bulldogs into submission 26-7. The seven 49 noints of the Kirksville eleven was the only marker scored by a conference team against the Bearcats. Rolla next and a 6-2 loss in a cold, rainy, muddy struggle with the Miners. Tadd, Rolla all-conference halfback, grabbed a pass for the first quarter touchdown. The two points were a bit of strategy on the part of Rolla, by a safety granted in the closing minutes. Pets Grisamer and Gregory were outstanding. Jack Mills, center, was forced to leave the game with a sprained ankle. The Bulldogs fell before the Mules 20-14. The wide open affair saw Grossnickle, Bulldog fullback, show his heels to the stubborn Mules twice on two late-game razzle dazzle touchdown gallops. The Lions of East Texas Teachers were last on the menu for the Bulldogs. The Lions ganged and out-classed the Kirksville eleven for a 62 0 count. BASKETBALL Eight returning lettermen and two new coaches helped to shape the destiny of the 1938-39 basketball season. In the Mis- souri Intercollegiate Athletic Association the Purple and White basketeers finished fifth as they have for the past four seasons. The Bulldogs opened the conference on the road and defeated Rolla in a breath-taking 25-22 battle on the Miners' court. Re- turning home the Bulldogs played host to Springfield, Maryville, Cape, and Warrensburg, all in less than two weeks. The Spring- field attack smothered the Purple and White cagers in a 42-33 melee. Four nights later the College Champs from Warrensburg hung the worst of all the season's lickings on the Kirksville club by 34-13. Coach Eiken's men seemed to regain some of their lost life as they struggled with the Maryville Bearcats on even terms for 39 minutes only to lose in the last few seconds by a 26-25 margin. 51 The Kirksville team, with morale badly warped, swung over the western side of the league to challenge the two league leaders, Springfield and Warrensburg. Springfield, via Russell, amassed 37 points while the F.iken men garnered 21. The fol- lowing night at Warrensburg the Bulldogs fared badly in the closing minutes to take the short end of a 3b 28 count. Returning to the Kennel the Bulldogs halted a seven game losing by trouncing the last place Miners 38-25. With only one conference game remaining the Bulldogs embarked for Maryville with four seniors playing their last college game. There Kirksville defeated the Bearcats in a hard fought 30-29 contest. In the city series with the Osteopaths the Bulldogs broke even with one win and one loss. The first contest was won in Kirk Auditorium 37 21. In the return engagement at the Osteopath gym the Doctors garnered a 24-23 win. Four seniors, Honorary-Captain Morse, Leonard King, Elmer Osborn, and Charles Fox completed their competition this year. NON-CONFERENCE GAMES Six non-conference games were on the Bulldogs' schedule. The Kirksville crew lost four and won two of the encounters. The Stickler Cardinals were the first to fall 26 18 in the opener for the Bulldogs. The Culver-Stock ton Wildcats were not so tame when they clawed the Bulldogs 28-26 in Kirk auditorium. The Stickler Cardinals won a 42 38 victory over the Bulldogs. The Culver-Stockton Wildcats, the next non-conference foe, licked their chops over a well earned 32-30 victory. 53 December 12 . . . . . Kirks ville . . . . .... 37 K. C. O. S .21 January 6. . . . .

The Kirksville thinly-clad athletes were run over 68-54 in the Mules' home lot. Frosty Schwen- gels and Lammers shone for the Bulldogs. Chillicothe and Mobcrly Junior College were defeated by the Bulldogs on the home track. Lammers and Wills ran the century dash in less than ten seconds. Nelmark and Ward won over a large number of entries in the two-mile event. Culver-Stockton was romped on 80-42 by the Bulldog charges on Stokes Field. Seitz emerged with a mark of 51.9 in the 440- yard dash. Roila next drilled the Bulldogs 66-56 on the Miners' track. Lammers won the century and 220-yard dashes. Kirksville fin- ished fourth in the M L A A outdoor conference meet, being nosed out of third by Maryville 20-19. INTRAMURALS Coaches Malcolm Liken and Lari Svendsen, with the assistance of Student Manager Leonard King, administered an intramural program this year. During the summer session the softball tournament was won by Elmer Osborn's charges. The four-way race proved interest- ing to the final out of the last game. The fall quarter went without intramurals, both coaches con- centrating their efforts on football. In the winter quarter program Rob Roark's basketball team won the championship from a field of twenty entries. Roy Phil- lips' club won the volleyball tournament, while Ray Roberts won the ping pong singles tournament and the Roberts-Kmg entry the doubles. The two hundred participants in the men's division give an example of the interest and enthusiasm shown in the intramural program. Seventy men were entered in the various four spring quarter softball teams. 58 WOMEN'S ATHLETICS Miss Trances Fuller and Miss Margaret Jones have worked out an especially wide program o( physical education activities in dancing and athletics. In the dancing activities, folk, tap, and modern dance arc offered. Sport and recreational activities vary with the seasons. The most popular of these are archery, bad- minton, tennis, rifle, and hiking. Other activities offered are skatmg, volleyball, basketball, baseball, volleyring, bowling, shuffle board and ping pong. A complete major program giving a combination major in health and education includes three quarters of freshman phys- ical education, and the same number of quarters in theory and practice of women's athletics, dance, and education. This pro- 57 gram also includes one quarter of folk, tap, and modem dancing, Girl Scout recreational leadership, gymnastics for women, school games and ten hours of health. In addition to requirements for majors, an advanced fourth quarter of dance and education, materials of design and compo- sition in the field of modern dance are offered as is also the teaching of physical education. An attempt is made to make the courses applicable to teach- ing problems that the students will meet. This is accomplished in the sports classes by requiring physcial education majors in a theory and practice class to plan arrangements for each quar- ter's intramural tournaments. They also officiate at games. In school games there is close cooperation with the staff of the Greenwood Demonstration School, particularly good for obser- vation in the first and second grades. Girl Scout and recreational leadership classes organize practical work that may be done in the quarter. This includes participation in camping and outing activities, and cooperating with local Girl Scout units. p� � ORGANIZATIONS TRI SIGMAS Swung into the season with the annual Tri Sigma Pirate dance . . .

Each year the organization sponsors a dance and gives the proceeds to the Eugene Fair Memorial Loan Fund. An addi- tional dance was sponsored this year to raise money for the John R. Kirk Memorial Fund. In the fall quarter the members act as mentors during the freshman orientation and help the in- coming students adjust themselves. Also the members act as ushers on Senior Day, at the commencement exercises, and take an active part in the school carnival. A scholarship was inaugurated this spring which is to be presented to some worthy sophomore at the May convocation exercises. Each alternate year the Blue Key publishes The Broad- caster, a bulletin which covers the activities and location of its alumni. Alexander Yaskiw was the editor this year. Jack Mills is president of the organization. 73 CARDINAL KEY Cardinal Key, women's service organization, during this year has awarded its annual spring quarter scholarships to two girls, an upperclassman and a freshman. To raise this money Cardinal Key has sponsored numerous open houses which offer entertainment for the whole student body. Yearly the organization assists at Senior Day and al the All School Carnival. During the Inaugural Reception and Ball last May the members worked in the checkrooms. At the All-School garden party in the summer they helped serve and this past fall they served as ushers at the pep meeting held prior to the open ing of our football season. At Christmas time the organization fills baskets which they give to needy families. Cardinal Key also sponsored the sale of Red Cross tuberculosis seals, a large percent of the benefits of this sale remaining on the campus to pay for x-rays for tubercular students. A maximum membership of twenty girls is maintained. 74 ALPHA PHI SIGMA Alpha Phi Sigma, with membership open to high school valedictorians and salutatorians and college students maintain- ing a high scholastic average, is one of the largest organizations on the campus. Lectures are given at the monthly meetings by guest speak- ers, usually chosen from the faculty members of the College. Dr. Clara Clevenger, Miss Edith Dabney, and Miss Lucy Sim- mons addressed the group during the past year. An outstanding program was a spelling bee between ten members of Alpha Phi Sigma against ten of Pi Omega Pi Social hours with refreshments were held after most of the regular meetings. Mr. Stanley Hayden advises Alpha Phi Sigma. Jack Mills served as president during the past year. 75 Kappa Delta Pi, honorary educational society, is made up of people interested in education who have at least an average of S in all their school work. This society offers annually a schol- arship of tv enty-five dollars to the boy or girl who ranks among the highest scholastically and shows unusual promise as a future teacher. The programs offered at the regular meetings of Kappa Delta Pi are offered by both members and faculty Some of the lec- tures given at the meetings this year have been on Living American Leaders and Why We Don't Like Poetry. Two of the high spots socially were a dinner meeting given by the sponsor, Miss Bracy Cornett, and a chili supper at the home o the president, Mrs. Helen Walker. At this meeting the book Dawn in Lyonesse was reviewed by Miss Nan E. Wade. Members sold popcorn at the basketball games to help raise money for their pledge to the Kirk Memorial fund. KAPPA DELTA PI 75 PI OMEGA PI The Alpha Chapter of Pi Omega Pi almost doubled its membership this year. There are forty-eight members in the chapter; twenty-three of these were initiated during the past year. The year's programs included: motion pictures of the Tourna- ment of Hoses, given by Dr. P. O. Selby; a demonstration of machine shorthand by Roberta Bigsby; a discussion of artificial languages by Mr. J. W. Heyd; a review of the book, Action at Aquila by Ruth Towne. Among other social activities Pi Omega Pi held a radio dance to which members invited guests. Approximately fifty couples were present. One of the activities was the formation of a spelling team of ten members which was pitted against'teams of other organiza- tions of the campus. Helen Deverman Iiunsaker heads this organization, spon- sored by Dr. P. O. Selby. 77 SIGMA ZETA Have you ever wondered just what made a firefly ( lightning bug to you) flash and what kept his posterior region from becoming uncomfortably warm7 Our crew of scientists can answer such perplexing questions as this with the greatest of ease. In fact one of the lectures was given over to the little fire- fly and his problems. The topic under discussion was cold light. Sigma Zeta is made up of students who are interested in science and current scientific problems. The speakers arc stu- dents who have made a special study and done some research in some particular phase of science. A monthly dinner meeting is held where the chief concern is the science of eating. In keeping up with modern developments in science, Sigma Zeta obtained moving pictures on The Story of Asbestos and ran them at one of the meetings. Delegates were sent this year from the local chapter, Delta, to the national conclave in DeKalb, Illinois. 78 SPEECH The speech department carried on an active extra-curricular program throughout the year. Pi Kappa Delta, national speech fraternity, covered the work in debate, oratory, extemporaneous speaking, and poetry reading. The ten members did'' things. The freshman debate tournament sponsored by the group an- nounced as its winners lack Mills and Roland Koenig. The regents award debate winners were Francis Hedrick and Clifton Cornwell. The debaters won the majority of their debates and placed high in several tournaments. The girls' team, Caroline Krembs and Marjory Rouner, won second in the annual state meet. More than a hundred College Players worked together in staging and presenting both one-act and three act productions. Informal social functions lent much to the students' enjoyment. Those interested in reading poetry and dialect joined the Readers Round Table, an informal organization presenting pro- grams at regular intervals throughout the year. Murder will out . . . 79 Behind scenes . . . Hold that pose . . . Lights, places, curtain . . . 80 W. A. A. The Women's Athletic Association is one of the largest organizations in school and is open to all girls who are interested in sports, dancing, and outing activities. The business of the organization is managed by a group of six mem- bers who plan each quarter's activ .ities. These activities include one ’ tournament each quarter: in the fall, volleyball; winter, basketball and badminton; spring, baseball and field-day; and summer, tennis. Last year, for the first time, W. A. A. spon- sored an archery tournament. Another activity includes the cabin on the Chariton river. This cabin is especially accessible to summer school students for over- night camping, weekend trips, and suppers. For the past two summers the organization has held a large supper at which faculty guests and all members of W. A. A. were pres- ent. The cabin has been largely furnished by W. A. A. members and much of the outdoor improvement has been done by them. Social activities consist largely of outdoor picnics where camp cook- ing is the main activity. Each fall, W. A. A. has a picnic supper to which all freshman girls are invited. There is also an open house during the fall teachers' meeting. In the winter a Christmas party and the annual Hick party are given. For the fourth year W. A. A. has earned money to send delegates to the National or District convention of the American Association for Health and Physical Education and Recrea- tion. Seventeen members of W. A. A. have joined the Missouri Physical Education Association. Eucharis is composed of physical education students who have re- ceived the highest award in W. A. A activities, particularly concerning leadership. This small group co- operates with W. A. A , acting as an adviser to that group. Eucharis has also worked out credit points in extra-curricular activities more diffi cult than those of W. A. A. The Modern Dance group is for girls who show special ability in modern dance. Members are select- ed by the instructors. They work particularly on technique and gath- er information concerning current dance activities. 82 K CLUB This year we welcomed the new coaches . . Athletic Committee gave a swell breakfast at the country club and did we eatl Coaches seemed to like us and we liked them . . Got quite a few new members from foot- ball season and some from basket- ball and track . . We are now plan- ning a program of club activities that promises to make this organization one of the livelier ones on the cam- pus next year . . Expecting a big season in athletics too . . AG CLUB A hog call sweeps over the cam- pus . . the signal that the Ag Club is meeting. Its jamboree, the annual Barn- warming dance, comes in the fall when cider is plentiful to drink and there is corn-fodder for decorating. Some lucky farmerette is crowned Queen of Harvest each year. Cleo Black was so honored this year. Late developments in agriculture and better farming methods are dis- cussed by lecturers and members at the bi-weekly meetings. 83 ALPHA PHI OMEGA Alpha Phi Omega, a service or- ganization carrying the Boy Scout ideals into college life, was rcorgan ized this year after several years of inactivity. This year its members served as gate keepers and ushers at basketball games, helped with the All-School Carnival, Baldwin Hall open house, and other campus activities. Assisting at football and basket- ball games, helping to plan assem- bly programs, and helping in blood typing of students are among proj- ects planned for next year. Dr. F. D. Hewitt is the sponsor. MODERN LIT New on the campus this year is the Modern Literature Club, formed by a group of students interested in discussing recent books. At each of its meetings a book review was presented by a guest or a member of the club. The books reviewed were selected to come un- der varied classifications, such as history, problem novels, and poetry. Florence Dickson served as pres- ident during the past year. Miss Berenice Beggs is sponsor. 84 MATH CLUB The Pythagorean Society is an organization for students who are interested in mathematics. At its fortnightly meetings the past year mathematical subjects, such as log- arithms and the calculating ma- chine, were discussed. In one of its less serious moods last winter the group met at Mr. Jamison's home for a social get- together, playing cards and check- ers. An annual social highlight for the organization is the Spring ban guet, held this year on April 28, when high school mathematicians are guests of the society. Deane Branstetter is president and Prof. G. H. Jamison is sponsor. A. C. E. The Association for Childhood Education has for its purpose to gather and disperse knowledge of the movement for the education of children, to bring into cooperation all childhood interests including pa- rent education, to raise the standard of the professional training for lead ers in this field, and to promote the progressive type of education in nursery school, kindergarten, and primary grades. Programs featuring speakers con- cerning childhood education are held during the year. Too, every Christmas members of the A. C. E. purchase gifts for needy children. 85 FRENCH CLUB La seance est ouverte I.e cercle voudra bien commencer a delib- erer, says Aileen Arneson, presi dent, and she continues to lead the business of the club in French. The programs are composed of lectures on French art, literature, and music, given by members of the club. French is used almost exclu- sively since the object of the club is to supplement class work and give students an oppor.unity to speak and think in that language. Miss Nan E. Wade is sponsor. GERMAN CLUB German music, art, and other cultural subjects are discussed at the bi-weekly meetings of the German Club. Although most of the lectures featured are given by students, some guest speakers are secured from the faculty. For the second year the German Club had a fortune-telling booth at the All School Carnival, where for- tunes were told in German. Paul Kelso served as president for the first half-year and John Martin for the last. Mr. J. W. Heyd is sponsor. 86 HISTORICAL SOCIETY V ith crises in several parts of the world, the Historical Society did not lack interesting subjects for the panel discussions they sponsor at their semi-monthly meetings. All sides of the prob- lem under discussion are presented by students on the programs. After several students have presented special reports a round table discussion is held by all members and guests present. The highlight of the year as usual was the annual banquet held during the winter quarter. Ten hours social science with an M average is the require- ment for membership. Francis Hedrick was president of the organization and Mr. J. T. Angus adviser. Thomas Sheehey served as secretary until he was graduated at the end of the winter quarter. Willard Chambers succeeded him the spring quarter. 87 HOME EC CLUB Over eighteen hundred hungry youths were in line, waiting for something to eat. After days of work in preparation for them the Ellen H. Richards Club did its yearly duty— running the bread line on High School Senior Day. Two meetings are held each month, one for business and work, and one for fun and frolic. Two pres- idents have helped to keep the mem- bers active this year, Marjorie Smith and Erma Hinkson. ART CLUB The Art Club is composed of nineteen active and eight honorary members. The purpose of the club is to promote a wider interest and appreciation of art. The club meets every Wednes- day at an informal tea and discusses topics of interest. The members decorated the au- ditorium for the Christmas dance, contributed to the Kirk Memorial fund, and brought two art exhibi- tions to the college. Qualifications for membership are scholarship and promise in the field of art. fifi THE PRESS The Teachers College Index ' weekly newspaper of the Teachers College, is financially supported by the students from the activity fund and by advertising. It is written, proof read, made up, and mailed out by students in the department of journalism. This year the paper celebrated its thirtieth anniversary of continuous service. Bound copies for twenty-nine consecutive years wore exhibited at the open house celebrating the comple- tion of Baldwin Hall. An eight page anniversary edition was published. Students taking the course in newswriting are taught not only styles of writing but also the technicalities concerned with the publication of a paper in order that they might be prepared to accept sponorship of a school newspaper when they become teachers. 80 CHOIR The A Cappella choir, an organization of forty members, was active throughout the year. The choir furnished the music for the light opera ‘Martha.” The opera soloists, Myra June Manes, Georgene Payne Macso, Dallas Draper, George Kuesel, and Bruce McRae, also came from its membership. The opera was one of the really fine things done by the College. The A Cappella presented various assembly programs and also gave concerts in several schools of the district. Mendelssohn's oratorio, Elijah , was presented by the choir, together with outside singers, in May. To Dr. Barrett Stout, director, goes the credit for the splendid work done by the choir. The tireless effort put forth on Dr. Stout's part and the splendid cooperation on the part of members was manifested through the various productions given. so BAND The school year 1938-39 saw many decided improvements in the College band organization. Under the direction of Band- master Karl Webb, the band for the first time in years had a band majoress , Miss Darlene Shaw. New uniforms added their part to the band's effectiveness. The band played at foot- ball games, and following the baton of the majoress , per- formed various stunts during the halves of the games. The basketball season saw the band still on duty. Its fifty members played music both stirring and swinging, the latter in the form of Tiger Rag. During the year the band gave concerts in various schools and colleges throughout the district, besides presenting several assembly programs. 91 The Symphony Orchestra, which is sponsored by the Teach- ers College, is recruited from the best players in the College, the Kirksville College of Osteopathy and Surgery, the Kirksville High School and the community at large. The orchestra meets weekly to study the masterpieces of orchestral music. While the primary function is to become familiar with orchestral literature and to acquire experience in playing it, the orchestra has given several public performances. The Symphony spent many hours practicing its score for the opera Martha but when all was over, everyone agreed as to the fine quality of music presented. Mr. Kemble Stout directed the orchestra in the absence o-' the regular director, Professor J. L. Biggerstaff. CLASSES OFFICERS 94 PresidenS Gail Albright Vice-President...........Helen Deverman Hunsaker Secretary..............................Louise Hall Treasurer........................Jeanne McGlashon SENIOR CLASS Enough insincere copy has been written concerning various graduating classes. Suffice to say that the Teachers College has one and that it conducted itself in an active fashion during the past year. In the fall a senior tea was given. Truth present, the decora- tions remained unsurpassed at any tea throughout the year. Also hospitality was above reproach. A new precedent was founded by the senior class during the winter when they promoted a Senior Swing, the first dance held by a senior class. It was a sport dance with Jimmy Parcell and his orchestra playing. After contributing their gift to the College, the Class of '39 left its remaining funds to be used to aid in the erection of the Kirk Memorial. 95 Gail Albright LaPlala Phi Sigma Epsilon.
