Bull Dog Spirit, io our campus. The latest thing in news. ■■ The oldest in buildings n Memoriam To the memory of one former faculty member and five for- mer students we dedicate this page of the 1941 Echo. Glenn Frank, a former student, died September 15, 1940. Professor Wallace Knobbs, a former faculty member of the College, died December 18, 1940. Laura Pauline Kirk, a graduate of 1913, died January 19, 1940. Mrs. Julia Whitaker Eliot, a graduate of 1939, died April 10, 1940. Elsie Jones, a graduate of 1939, died October 16, 1940. Richard Ames, a graduate of 1940, died September 19, 1940. 12 Dedication For his quarter of a century's service to the college as a member of the Board of Regents, we dedicate the 1941 Echo to Judge J. A. Cooley, president of the Board of Regents. Judge Cooley has known all of the presidents of the college and has worked with three of them. Dr. John R. Kirk, Dr. Eugene Fair, and Dr. Walter H. Ryle. In dedicating this book to Judge Cooley, we are, in reality, dedicating it to service, for few men have served the college better or for so long a period of time as he. Judge Cooley, to you, and to all men who, like you, are willing to lay aside their personal ambitions for service to an institution, we dedicate this book 13 It has been said that a book's foreword must necessarily be either an explanation of the contents or the author's apology. Years of publication have standardized the purpose of year- books; they need no explanation. The name indicates that such books record a year's work. Whether or not this yearbook needs an apology can be determined by how well it fulfills its purpose. Unavoidably some activities have been omitted and some have received more attention than others which may be of equal importance. We present the 1941 Echo without explanation or apology. It is your book; it is for you to judge whether it be good. 14 ADMINISTRATION President Ryle .........................18-19 Board of Regents...........................20 Ellison, Enochs, Pemberton, Rickhoff.......21 Dean Eubank ...............................22 Administrators ............................23 Secretaries, Service Men...................24 Student Council ...........................25 Faculty ................................2G-31 CLASSES Seniors . . .

Students who take the course Administration for High School Teachers know this, since that is no snap course. Proudly we present in this section of the Echo the administrators of our college. Their friendliness and co-operative spirit convince the students that their interests and those of the administration are identical. Inaugurated as the seventh president of the Northeast Mis souri State Teachers College on the nineteenth of May, 1938, President Walter Harrington Ryle has brought to the adminis- tration of this college an enthusiasm and devotion to the prob- lem of teacher preparation. This enthusiasm was born of his undergraduate experiences here, his diligent graduate study in a teacher training environment and his administrative service in the public schools. Believing that great teachers are those who have a clear understanding and deep appreciation of the world in which they live, together with the fine command of techniques essential to the teaching of others, he has attempted to shape our institu- tion to conform to the substantial concepts of its founder. Feeling that truth and beauty and the growth of skill can best be nurtured amid adequate and pleasant surroundings, he is planning and carrying to completion a program of building expansion and campus beautification of extensive proportions. President Ryle, at work and play: He dictates to Margaret. He works on his stamp collection. Ho speaks at a banquet. He examines his dahlias. DR. WALTER H. RYLE President, Northeast Missouri State Teachers College, Kirksville, Missouri J. A. Cooley President W. A. Cable Vice-President Roland A. Zcigcl Secretary Lloyd W. King State Supt. of Schools J. C. Houck Ethel Conner Roy Quinn Board of Regents The highest administrative unit of the Teachers College is the Board of Regents, made up of six men from various parts of the district. Every other administrator receives his power through the authority of the Board. Some of the duties of the Board are employing teachers, re- ceiving bids on work on the campus or buildings and signing contracts. The policies and activities of the Teachers College are to a large extent decided upon by the Board, in their quarterly meetings. Members of the board are W. A. Cable, editor of the Han- nibal Courier Post'', Hannibal, Mo.; Ethel Conner, cashier, Citi- zen's National Bank, Kirksville; J. A. Cooley, Commissioner of the State Supreme Court, Jefferson City; J. C. Houck, a retired railroad man of St. Louis; Roy Quinn, associated with the Amer- ican Automobile Association at Moberly; Roland A. Ziegel, at- torney-at-law, Kirksville, Mo. Mrs. S. H. Ellison, dean of women, is the charm- ing hostess of all Teach- ers College activities. She supervises the housing of students, inspects room- ing places and enforces regulations. As chairman of the social committee, she has charge of All- School affairs, and man- ages the school calendar of social functions. She also directs the freshman orientation program. Mrs S. H. Ellison, Dean of Women Heads of Divisions Mr. Henry Enochs, Mr. Tom Angus and Mr. N. W. Rickhojf head the Divisions of Business Service, Extension Service and Personnel Service respectively. Mr. W. S. Pemberton acted as Head of the Division of Ex- tention Service this year while Mr. Angus was on leave. These men cooperate with Dean Eubank and President Ryle in manag- ing the college and keeping it functioning efficiently. W. S. Pemberton N. W. Rickhoff Henry L. Enochs Dean of faculty Louis A. Eubank Dean of the Faculty and Head of the Divi- sion of Education. B.S. in Education, Staie Teachers College, Warrensburg; A.M. and Ph.D., University of Missouri. Dean Eubank performs varied tasks for the Teachers Col- lege. His responsibilities range from arranging assembly pro- grams to granting excuses from classes. Outstanding among his accomplishments of the past year is the scheduling of assembly programs. Noteworthy among them the last few months were the Fisk Jubilee Singers; Journa- list Don Bates, lecturer on the Orient; Gerard Sacher, Czechoslo- vakian speaker; and Lew Sarett, entertaining poetry reader from Northwestern University. Working as chairman of the faculty committee on the study of professional education required much of Dean Eubanks time this year. This committee began an investigation last fall to find ways to improve courses offered in the different major and minor fields. Miscellaneous and routine duties include managing N Y A on the campus, which employed at one time 145 students, super- vising the granting of credits, giving out information about stu- dents and former students to employers, arranging class sched- ules, and acting as chairman of the Curriculum Committee. The 1940-41 school year was Dean Eubank's fourteenth with the Teachers College. He came here after experience as a rural school teacher, a superintendent of schools, an assistant instruc- tor in the University of Missouri, and Dean of the Faculty at Christian College, Columbia, Missouri. 22 Administrators Clifton Cornwell Director of the Bureau of Alumni Activities Stanley Hayden Director of the Bureau of Field Service A.

Cam- paign speeches, handbills, and rallies made a hot election which resulted in a clean sweep for the new Indepen- dent-Coalition party with the Bulldog party running a close second. Party loyalties and politics were for- gotten as soon as members took office, and the business of spending the ac- tivity fees of the students went smooth- ly and efficiently. The custom of two shows and two dances each quarter was continued. Again the Council co- operated with the Hotary Club and the Kirksville Co-operative Concert Asso- ciation to admit students to the activi- ties sponsored by those organizations. Fred Sleyster, president of the Coun- cil, and La Rue Edrington, secretary, attended the national conference of the National Student Federation of America in Brunswick, New Jersey, during the Christmas vacation. Their report on the convention was made at an assembly program. Keys were awarded to members this year instead of holding the cus- tomary banquet.

By observing the regular teachers, taking charge of the classes themselves, and conferring with supervisors and faculty members these practice teach- ers get valuable experience and some good pointers on high school teaching. The Kirksvillc Junior High School was organized in 1923 as a joint project of the Kirksville Board of Education and the Board of Regents of the Teachers College. It is a part of the public school system, giving instruction in grades seven, eight, and nine, and is a laboratory school for prospective high school teachers. The school has an enrollment of about 530. There are 27 faculty members, with Felix Rothschild, the director. Loll to right: Dvckv:, Vwunilion. Gatewood. Brown. Whitxon, Martin, Straight, Ldrisigton, Dr Allen. Greenujood Laboratory Schoo One hundred fifty Teachers College students who are majoring in elementary education got teaching exper- ience this year in the Greenwood Elementary Laboratory School. Supervised and advised by Dr. C. H. Allen, the school's director, and the seven regular faculty members, Dr. C. H. AUwn these student teachers observed, wrote out lesson plans, helped the pupils during study periods, and then took charge of classes and did actual teaching. Like the Ophelia Parrish Laboratory School, Green- wood is administered jointly by the Teachers College and the town of Kirksville. It serves a dual purpose, educa- ting grade school children and training grade school teachers. CLASSES National defense work, conscription, and the calling of the Company K men were probably the causes of the slight drop in enrollment this year. The lower enrollment was especially noticeable in the junior and senior classes which had one hun- dred fifty-one and one hundred thirty members respectively during the fall quarter. The freshmen were three hundred severity-seven strong that quarter, while the sophomore class was comparatively large with two hundred eighty-seven en- rolled. Fourteen students returned for post graduate work. Total enrollment for the fall quarter was nine hundred fifty-nine.

The organizations can be roughly classified as follows: Two fraternities, four sororities, three honorary-service, four honorary professional, and eighteen departmental. Advisory groups functioned more as organizations this year than ever before; many of them held both educational and social meetings. 70 Alpha Sigma Alpha The Alpha's donned multicolored costumes for their annual gypsy rush dance . . .

The pledges entertained with a dance which was made really unusual by the serving of a Christmas Smorgasbord. The Valentine formal the entrance a huge valentine, the floor heart-shaped, the false ceiling blue studded with stars— made all the Alphas say, “This has been a good year .

Corresponding Secretary Virginia McCollum .................Treasurer Miss Bracy Cornett...................Sponsor Crazy bridge and luncheon at Mrs. Clevenger's started the rush season. Little bronze bulldogs were given to the rushees as favors. The annual Marine Ball, a formal, caused a grand group of girls to enlist in the Pi Kappa Sigma cause. Founder's Day, November 17, was commemorated with a tea in the parlor of Kirk Auditorium. Pledges, actives and alumnae were present. Miss Cornett, the sponsor, entertained the girls with a party at Christmas. There were food and presents. The best present for the pledges was Elaine's announcement that pledge week started the next day. The pledges retaliated for all the fun the actives had shown them by inviting them to an extra-special Red, White, and Blue dance. The spring formal served as an excellent climax to a year full of fun and friendship. Miss Bracy Cornett, Flaine Wagner, Neva Shinn, Martha Taggart, Virginia McCollum, Aileen Arneson, Annette Barb.

The silver anniversary of the sorority was celebrated with a day's activities including a tea at the home of Mrs. Charles Still and a banquet at the Travelers'. The national president of the sorority spoke at the banquet. The pledges presented a program at the Christmas party and also entertained the actives with a dance and food. The annual Founder's Day banquet and the spring formal, red letter days on the Tri Sigma calendar, surpassed all expec- tations.

A smoker at the Sojourner's Club started the whirl of rush season which was slack this year because of an epidemic of low grades. Cigarettes, cigars, and food prepared by Chef Rieger made the smoker click. Then the Hobo dance, a swell romp, climaxed the rush sea- son which netted nine men (or the fun of Pledge week, topped off by a field trip. Honors that came to the boys included first prize for the Homecoming float and six prexy posts for members. Wray M Rieger Trank H.

The bar with pretzels and cider and candles in bottle necks proved quite an attraction. The whole crowd descended on Jane's after the dance. In addition to the Forty-niner a rush banquet and smoker was held at the Sojourner’s club. The result was fourteen pledges, who entertained the actives with a dance in Sociability Hall.

Hayes......Secretary-Treasurer Dean L. A. Eubank....................Sponsor An honorary service fraternity, Blue Key has as its sole func- tion service to the school and to the student body. Blue Key fraternity was first established at the University of Florida to sponsor the Homecoming activities of that school. Since then one of the main projects of each chapter of Blue Key is helping with the Homecoming of its own school. The chapter on this campus has sponsored two successful Homecomings in the past two years. The expense of Homecoming, of the Blue Key scholarship, and of the Blue Key loan fund is met by the proceeds of an an- nual benefit dance. Members are elected on the basis of scholarship, interest and participation in school activities, personality, and character. Ten members were initiated the spring quarter. They were: Clifford Bohmback, Calvin Brantley, Glen Byram, Maurice Eger, James Murphy, Paul Myers, Neal Primm, Gerald Reeves, Mark Harrison and Beecher Specs.

Wade Sponsors Cardinal Key, sister organization to the Blue Key fraternity, has service to the college and community as its principal aims. This service the members render in several ways such as acting as ushers at concerts, selling programs at football games, filling Christmas baskets for needy families, and assisting Blue Key with the Homecoming. Each year Cardinal Key gives two scholarships to two de- serving women for use during the spring quarter. This year the scholarships went to Martha Davis and Margaret Reynolds. Expenses of the scholarship and other services of the group are met by the proceeds of the Open House parties they hold on enrollment night of each quarter and at other open dates. The organization's membership of twenty is chosen from col- lege women meeting the requirements of leadership, scholar- ship, participation in extra-curricular activities, and character.

The members of Alpha Phi Omega, a national service fra ternity, the fifth oldest of ninety-six in the United States, are always on tap for service on the campus or in the community. Members of the fraternity took tickets at all basketball games, helped with the high school vocational guidance con- ferences and senior day, helped to promote the infantile paraly- sis drive; acted as ushers at concerts; sponsored two open houses, and several open meetings featuring special speakers. The threefold program of leadership, friendship, and service have made it the fastest growing Greek letter organization in the United States with eighty-five new chapters founded in the last ten years. Elections are held semi-annually with Robert Conkin elected president for the first half-year. Franklin Greene, who represented the fraternity on the national convention program at Indianapolis, served as president for the second half-year. 85 Kappa Delta Pi Beecher Spees ...............President Wilma Opel .............Vice-President Margaret McWilliam...........Secretary Helen Harrington ............Treasurer Mrs. Pauline Knobbs ......... .Sponsor Silting: Spees.

Membership in the organization is one of the highest honors obtainable to prospective teachers. Candidates for membership are selected on the basis of scholar ship, an S average in all college work, and character and prom- ise in the field of education. Programs of interest to future teachers are presented at most of the bi monthly meetings. Two dinners arc held each year, one during the district teachers' meeting and one in connection with the spring quarter initiation. This year a chili supper was held at the pledge service in the fall quarter. Each year a twenty-five dollar scholarship is awarded to the highest ranking freshman. Bob Newman won the award last year. Helping Mrs. Pauline Knobbs, sponsor, in her research on the history of organizations was one of the major activities of the year. 87 Alpha Phi Sigma Robert Long .........................President Ruth Straight ..................Vice-President Ldith Gallop ........................Secretary Amy Lea Ayres....................... Treasurer F. H. Trimble..........................Sponsor Growth was probably the most noteworthy feature of Alpha Chapter of Alpha Phi Sigma, National Teachers College Scholar- ship fraternity, as its membership went over the hundred mark this year. Open to high school valedictorians and salutatorians and college students who meet certain scholastic requirements, the organization initiated over seventy-five members during the year. Growth was not confined to size but was also noticeable in influence and unity as more projects were undertaken and more interest shown in meetings than ever before. A local constitution defining the standards and objectives of Alpha Chapter was adopted, and the history of the organiza tion was investigated. MEMBERS Agee. Allen Anderson. A. Ayres. M.

The club is composed of twenty-five members who are tak- ing a pre-osteopathic course prior to their entrance into the School of Osteopathy. The prerequisites for entrance into the club include taking an oath of the intention of becoming an Osteopath and undergoing a formal initiation. Every two weeks the club holds a business meeting which is followed by a speaker, either from the Teachers College or the Osteopathic School. Among speakers who have addressed the club this year are President Ryle and Dr. Gelbach of the Teachers College and Dean Warner and Phil Morrison of K. C. O. S. A dance and a spring picnic were among the social events of the club. 90 french Calvin Brantley.....................President Beverly DeWitt ................Vice-President Madeline B.

The French Club is composed ■ mainly of students of the French classes. The business is carried on in French; French songs are sung at many of the meetings and sometimes games are played in which French conversation is used. A series of programs which centered about the influence of France in America were presented this year. The old French settlement at St. Genevieve, Missouri, and some of the French explorers and pioneers were studied. Madeline Barrow represented Jean d' Arc on a white steed as the club's contribution to the Homecoming parade. Miss Wade, sponsor of the organization, entertained the members at her home with a Christmas party. The evening was spent in playing games, competing for prizes, and eating French food. 91 K Club German Club K Club members are the burly Teachers College athletes who have lettered in cither football, basketball or track. Recruits were scarce this year as only twenty-three football and seven basketball players earned letters. The club went social in a big way, holding Open House a couple of times and throwing a big spring K Club dance with jr. Musolino's band. Officers for the year were: Roy Phil- lips, president; Gerald Grossnickle, vice-president; and Bert Lane, secre- tary. The German Club, having as its purpose the study of the songs and customs of the German people, is com posed of students interested in the German language. During the meetings, which are held bi-monthly, the members sing, read poetry and study the German customs; they carry on most of their conversa- tions in the German language. Officers are usually elected every quarter, but this year Hugh Howerton was elected president for the full year. K CLUB Lett to right, front row: Longwith, Wills. Phillips, Lane, Grossnickle. Strah.

Richards Club Lois Ringland ......................President Betty Anderson.................Vice-President Helen Neal .........................Secretary Eleanor Parmer .....................Treasurer Misses MaGee and Kennedy.............Sponsors The Ellen H. Richards Club is the organization of which other groups think when they plan dinner meetings and ban- quets. Each year they cook and serve for several clubs. The really big activity of each year is preparing the luncheon for the visitors on High School Senior Day. Prepar- ations for this day must be started days before the event since serving luncheon to over a thousand high school seniors is a Herculean task. The Home Economics department of the Teachers College was host to the State Convention of Home Economics teachers March 28-29. Even though their main activity is entertaining others, the members of Ellen H. Richards Club do not neglect their own social life. Several teas are held during the year and their Kitchen Warming, to which they invite the Ag Club boys has become an annual function.

A trip to St. Louis to visit the art museum and flower show was financed by selling block prints and Christmas cards. New members were initiated with parties in the fall, picnics in the spring. The Rural Leadership Club extended its purpose of rural life interest this year by doing some charity work. Three tickets were given to worthy children from the Junior High School to attend the Clare Tree Major plays, and food, clothing and candy were donated to needy children at Christ- mas. Guest speakers addressed the monthly meetings. There was an an- nual Christmas party and a spring picnic. ART CLUB Lo:t to 'ight, seatvd: McWhorter, Jayne. Hobson. Gillum, Dailey. A: tabie.

Historical Society Pythagorean Society The presidential election and the good neighbor policy are typical of the subjects discussed at the meetings of Historical Society this year. An annual social highlight for the organization is the banquet, held this year during the spring quarter. In March several members of the society participated in the Mississippi Valley International Relations Clubs Confer ence at Warrensburg. Dr. Edward Kcso, sponsor, was as sisted in carrying out the program dur- ing the year by two presidents, John Schwada and Edith Gallop. Sponsoring three social events dur- ing the year, the Pythagorean Society, under the leadership of President Ruth Straight, has proved to be one of our most active clubs. The society holds meetings twice a month, featuring topics of general in- terest not considered in class work, such as biographical sketches, the nature of mathematics, and the history of the evaluation of certain important numbers. The club is composed of eighteen members, mathematics majors and minors and those persons who have fifteen hours of credit in mathematics. 99 Dean Rosebery . Paul Epperson . .

Each of the past four years the membership of this organ- ization has exceeded one hundred. Jeannette Monroe, president, Helen Muzzey, Louise Brislane, Mary Ruth Hawkins, and Misses Frances Fuller and Thelma Dodson attended the National Physical Education convention at Louisville, Kentucky, and ten girls attended the state meeting in Kansas City. Among the attainments of members were the winning of the national basketball officiating rating by Florence Hulett, the local rating by Mary Curtright, and the intramural rating by Jeannette Monroe, Barbara May, Levenia Beard, and Mary Elizabeth Cook. The modern dancers presented a program of four dances in the College assembly and also performed before the American Th Modern Drcnco Group in Assembly Ruth pours tea. Association of University Women, the Sojourners club, the Fort- nightly club, and the high school seniors who visited the campus on Senior Day. The social program of the group consisted of a Christmas dinner for physical education majors and minors, a buffet supper for the dance group from the State Teachers College at Spring- field who were here for the meeting of the State Physical and Health Education Association, the annual Hick Party , and several teas. On their athletic program the girls had hikes and trips to the W. A. A. cabin on the Chariton river and an intramural tourna- ment each quarter. Volleyball came in the first three months, basketball in the second and badminton, tennis and a field day for track finished out the year. 103 Sigma Zeta Lei: to right, back row: Eetoe.

Discussions of a scientific nature were presented at the monthly meet- ings. Among these discussions were reports given by the members on vita- mins and their uses. The Industrial Arts Club is one of the newer clubs on the campus, having been organized only last year. F.ach Thursday t h e twenty-nine members hold their meetings and dis- cuss problems arising in their work.

The band, directed by Prof. Karl E. Webb, has severity pieces. It featured Ida Mae Redkey, cornet-soloist, and Karl Thurman, baton twirler. Beatrice Nicholas, Gene Creamer, Evelyn Fechtling, Glenna Schoenbeck and Etta Lou Propst also gave baton twirling exhibitions. lllillill M)DIHiHH8W lllllliilll iilHIillHilll!

The bright spot in the grid season was the 10-7 victory over Warrensburg, but Springfield, Cape, Maryville and Rolla each held Kirksville scoreless. The cage team won seventeen of twenty-five games and copped third place in the conference. Setbacks that hurt were the two-overtime period game that the Osteopaths won, and double losses to both Maryville and Warrensburg. 108 Front row, left to right: Hines.

Basketball Six Iron Men , Captain Bass, Shores, Sooter, Bohmback, Nelmark and Lane, this year lifted the Bulldog basketeers out of their customary second division berth and almost brought the M. I. A. A. championship to Kirksville. Sparkplugged in con- ference play by John Shores, six foot four inch center whose 149 points raised by 31 the M. I. A. A. individual scoring record. Coach Eiken's boys won six and lost four loop games. The team won five of six games on a northern tour, placed second in the Keokuk tournament, and won eleven of fifteen non-conference games. The intra city squabble ended in a draw, as K. C. O. S. won the first game, 42-41, in two overtime periods, and the Teachers took the second, 38-28. Rolla was decisively defeated, 46-29, in the first conference game, but the tall Maryville Bearcats squeezed out a 36-35 vic- tory to jerk the Bulldogs back to earth. Kirksville piled up a 40-23 score against the Bears in Springfield, but Nelmark, ball- H4 handling expert, was injured, so they couldn't repeat the trick the following night at Warrensburg, losing 46-23. Playing in Kirk Auditorium, Cape's Indians doubled the first- half score on the 'Dogs, but Coach Eiken so revitalized his charges during the intermission that they rallied to win that night, 37-3S, and six days later repeated the victory at Cape Girardeau, 31-27. On the way back they stopped briefly at Rolla and dynamited the Miners, 47-27. With Kirksville leading the league with five wins and two losses, Bass, twice cage captain, was called to the Naval Air Corps. Playing without the high scoring guard, the Bulldogs dropped championship deciding games to both Maryville and Warrensburg, although Shores pushed in 36 points in the two tilts. In the season's final game Kirksville rolled up 43 points, Springfield was allowed 33, and Shores poured in 24 to set the new record.

Culver Stockton was defeated in one dual meet, 75-51; Maryville administered an 87-49 licking to the Bulldogs in an- other. A three cornered affair went to the Kirksville squad as they outscored Rolla and Warrensburg 56-48% - 39%. In the outdoor M. I. A. A. meet held at Warrensburg the speedy Ramsey Lammers and Clifford Bohmback, aided by such point-getters as Branstetter, Brumagin, Closson, and Herst, gath- ered in 33% points to place Kirksville third.

Boys’ Intramurals A sixty percent increase in the number of boys participating in intramural athletics is reported by Austin Pierce, newcomer to the Physical Education department who took command of the intramural program this year. Six sports, volleyball, basketball, softball, paddle tennis, lawn tennis and badminton, were offered. In basketball, with three leagues, 14 teams, 110 players tak- ing part, Brockman's team took the Freshman crown, Murfin's Kewpies won in the Independent league, and Rimer's Sig Tau A boys whipped everything in the Organization loop. The Sig Tau's then trounced the Kewpies to capture the school championship. 118 Girls’ Intramurals Ten volleyball teams, with 100 players, and eight basketball teams with a total of 80 players took part in women's intramurals during the fall and winter quarters. A badminton tourney and a track meet were staged in the spring. Independent I, captained by Alice White, won the volley- ball tournament, whipping the Independent II group, led by Dorothy Chambers. Louise Brislane took command of the Inde- pendent I team during the basketball season and whipped all comers to win the cage tournament. Independent VI, Margie Shackleford, captain, was second.

Just as the theater offers several features in order to appeal to its entire clientele, so must the college offer all the features named above to make available to the student the varied experiences he has a right to expect. While we call this the Feature Section, we wish you would think of every activity as a feature. 120 Homecoming Phi Sigma Epsilon entered the pa- rade with this graveyard scene and took home the trophy for first place. The colorful Industrial Arts Club float showed evidences of a great deal of work. This replica of the new Kirk Memor- ial, dedicated on Homecoming Day, was the result of the Pi Kap's labors. Phog Allen and Dean Zeigel, guest speakers, rode with President Ryle in an open car. Service was represented as living forever in the Cardinal Key float which took second place. Homecoming The Homecoming queen, Margaret McWilliam, and her attendants, Mar- ian Porter, La Rue Ldrington, Helen Mayor, Etta Lou Propst, Martha Ann Winn, Dorva Turner, Sarah Maize, and Dorothy Jane Wright rode on the regal Blue Key Float. A mowing machine and a manure spreader, the captions “Mow 'em down and “Spread 'em Out repre- sented the Ag. Club. Phog Allen, famous coach from Kansas University, was the principal speaker at the Homecoming banquet. The Deltas presented an old-fash- ioned school room scene and copped third place. Sigma Tau Gamma warned Iowa that “Kirksville is no Pushover.'' The sophomores had no difficulty in dragging the freshmen through the mud in the tug-o-war.

These were members of Company K, of the 138th Infantry, 35th Divi- sion, which was mobilized the first of the year under the National Defense program. Besides the sixteen soldiers taken directly from the Teachers College, many more of the company's 13 officers and 94 enlisted men are either Teachers College grad- uates or have attended it at some time. Company K men who were in school the fall quarter but are now in training are: Robert Brightwell, Norman Chadwick, Karl Kumm, Harold Branstcttcr, Edwin Burkhart, William Conner, Donald Harrison, Ted Mahoney, Paul Kinkade, James Walker, Albert Closson, James Elliot, Jack Garnett, Wendell Stultz, and Henry Madorin. 130 Robor!

Now, with all deadlines met and everything settled but the bills, we find we know a little about photography (very little, did you say?), and a little about engraving, printing, and managing. As the co workers on the acknowledgements page can testify, we know quite a bit about and have become especially gifted at passing the buck. But we don't like to sing our own praise too much. What we really like best is that now we can say, Here is your 1941 Echo. 131 The science department went en-masse on a field trip ... In the air . . . Kenny Kurz takes a snooze . .
