Have you ever been kicked or bumped at a dance? Blame no one but that little Imp. He also presses the wrong keys in the orchestra, causing all the sour notes. He spills your ice cream at the teas, runs off with the song books in assembly, and turns off the heat in classrooms in the middle of winter. In fact, col¬ lege would be a snap without him, but it wouldn ' t be any fun. ORGANIZATIONS .

A new house across from the Stop ' n Shop started the school year off right for Alpha Sigma Alpha. Later on, our red and white sweaters were a familiar sight on the campus . . Gypsies in gay skirts and glittering ear rings . . soft lights and a glowing campfire ... all combined to character¬ ize the traditional Gypsy Dance which marked the beginning of rush season. The dance was followed by a super progressive luncheon and thirteen cute rushees became Alphas. This event was celebrated with a dinner party at the home of an alumna, Miss Martha Rinehart . . . The pledges enter¬ tained the actives and the Army Air Corps men stationed on the campus with a Country School Jamboree. An old-fashioned box supper was held dur¬ ing recess and gaily wrapped boxes of food were auctioned off to the highest bidder. At the Student Council Carnival in January, the Alpha Sigmas set up a Gypsy fortune-telling booth. Under the spell of candlelight and an eerie at¬ mosphere the Alpha Gypsies revealed many interesting fortunes . . Other high-lights of the year included the Christmas party, the Valentine party, and the annual Founders Day tea at the home of our sponsor, Miss Alma Zoller And, naturally, we ' re pleased as punch to have won the scholarship cup for the year ' 43- ' 441 16 DELTA SIGMA EPSILON Delta Sigma Epsilon began the 1943-44 school year with their rush sea¬ son. The first event was a coffee, and the concluding function was the Candy- land Dance in Women ' s Gym . . . decorations were gay—candy sticks, lolli¬ pops, with tall glasses of lemonade lining the walls which were draped with crepe paper . . . our pledges, which numbered seven, entertained the actives and sponsor with a chili supper at the new sorority house. Christmas season was shown in the chapter room with a beautifully decorated tree and a manger scene . . . our Christmas party was a banquet, followed by an exchange of gifts . . . after the first of the year, three ban¬ quets were held by Delta Sigma—two of these followed initiation honoring those initiated . . . the third was in recognition of our Founder ' s Day. The latest news of Delta Sigma concerned the addition of our sign at the new house—we were certainly a proud bunch of girls when the sign lighted the front of the chapter house . . . and so we close the school year with a brief resume of what took place in Delta Sigma Epsilon sorority . . we ' re all looking forward to another successful year in 1944-45.

CARDINAL KEY 22 PANH1LLENIC COUNCIL Three representatives from each of the four sororities, namely, the presi¬ dent, vice-president, and one other representative elected by the sorority compose the Pan Hellenic Council. Serving as a governing body, the coun¬ cil directs the combined activities of the sororities. Mrs. S. H. Ellison is spon¬ sor. Following supervision of a peppy rush season, the council settled down to the usual business, such as planning the annual formal dinner. At this dinner the scholarship trophy is awarded to the sorority having the highest record for the last three quarters. The annual spring dance was not held this year.

Costa Rican stamps discussed by our expert, Maria, with a Costa Rican stamp for each member highlighted the programs of the club. During the year all members of the Stamp Club discussed and exhibited their most interesting stamp or issue of stamps . . .For the carnival program the Stamp Club cooperated with the Modern Literature Qlub in The Eleventh Hour, a take-off on the Current Affairs Class . . . Packets of stamps were sent to Halloran Hospital, Staten Island, in response to a request for aid in readjustment of wounded soldiers. MODERN LITERATURE CLUB This club was organized in 1939 by a group of students interested in modern prose and poetry. On the first and third Monday evenings at the home of Dr. John Hollenbach, meetings were held with interest at a high pitch despite the dip in the membership. Book reviews of all the late ones, brief sketches of their authors. Penny quizes that were harder than a Current Affairs test. A prize given to the winner and refreshments for all including the losers. The Historical Society is the oldest organization on the campus and its members include names of many leaders on the campus — faculty and students . . . The year ' s programs featured book reviews, educational movies and discussion groups with Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Jayne and Mr. Hawk as guests . . . Highlight of the year was the Annual Banquet held in February with Dr. Hartman as guest speaker. 27 Carry on as Usual has been the motto of the band this year. There has been no lack of interest and enthusiasm of the band members . . . the enrollment has had a higher percentage of the student body participating than in any other year . . ., Needless to say, the male sections were con¬ spicuous by their absence . . . the instrumentation has been complete and well balanced, enabling the band to play the usual high quality music and to maintain its musical standards of the past . . . The reading of new material that will be useful to the high school band director has been one of the principle projects of the year . . . An assembly program was presented to the student body, at which time the first movement of Beethoven ' s Fifth Symphony with it V . . . —for victory theme was the featured number. In spite of adverse conditions, the chorus has had a bang up year.. The. singing of Christmas Carols at the faculty sponsored Christmas Tea was one of the highlights of the year. Another was the singing of the National Hymn of Costa Rica at the assembly arranged in honor of our good-will student from Costa Rica, Maria Elena Hidalgo. The chorus acted as the spark plug for one of Prof. R. E. Valentine ' s most successful group singing programs in assembly. The Boys ' Sextette sang at the night meeting sponsored by the College Inter-denominational Council With Bernice Schott as accompanist and Mr. Valentine wielding the baton, the meetings at four p. m. on Mondays and Wednesdays are regular pep rallies for those interested in singing, sight reading and all that goes with chorus work. 28 Holcomb, Morris, Kaufmann, Greenwell, Magruder, Reynolds, Ruhwedel, Webb, Prof. Karl Webb, direc¬ tor; Schott, Magruder, Drennan, Ward, Sutton, Jenkins, Young, Agee, Thurman, Grossmann, How¬ erton, Milhoan, Rufener, Carroll, Haley, Thoelke, Green, Layman, Long.

Requirements for membership according to the Consti¬ tution are high and the applicant must be a music major or minor . . . How¬ ever, this year the club has been open to all those interested in music . . . the club has one business and one social meeting a month . . . the objec¬ tives are to promote interest and appreciation of music and to discuss prob¬ lems confronting public school music. INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL The purpose of the Interfraternity Council is to keep the relations between the two fraternities friendly and cooperative. Rules for rushing and pledging and plans for interfraternity dances are subjects taken up in the monthly meetings. The president and one other member of each fraternity are mem¬ bers of the council. Besides these four there are the sponsors of each frater¬ nity and the faculty adviser, who must not be an alumnus of either organiza¬ tion. Dr. John Hollenbach is the Interfraternity Council adviser and head. This group was organized in 1941 with the ideal of furnishing Christian cervices for those students so inclined. In spite of the armed service demand on our membership, the old spirit was there and the meetings and parties were well attended. We learned to square dance and went on a progressive supper. We haven ' t decided yet which is the hardest on our under pinnings. CHRISTIAN YOUTH FELLOWSHIP Christian Youth Fellowship is the young peoples ' organization of the First Christian Church. This group plans and presents the Vesper services held each Sunday evening from five until six . C. Y. F. starred features of the year . . two parties at Drennan ' s farm, one when Jack was home; the other a hayride (Mitzi broke the wagon) ... a banquet at Mary Violet ' s house in honor of Kyle and Wilma.

WOMEN ' S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 34 Le Cercle Francais, an organization composed of students from the French classes, has given way to the new Romance Language Club, composed of groups of students who are studying or have studied either French or Span¬ ish. This new club holds meetings the first and third Thursdays of each month. At that time either a business meeting is conducted in one of the two languages or a program is given by one of the groups. As was the custom of Le Cercle Francais, a Christmas party was held this year at the home of Miss Nan E. Wade, sponsor. The second party of the year was held at the home of Dorothy Holcomb, a member of the French group, to celebrate St. Valentine ' s Day. At that time, a program was given and French and Spanish songs were sung. The Romance Language Club was organized last September by members of the French classes and those students taking Spanish which was recently added to the college curriculum. WOMEN’S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Women ' s Athletic Association is an organization that develops sportsmanship and athletic interests among college women.

Several occasions invoke pleasant memories of a year full of activities. For example: The Christmas Dance—soft colored lights, shining stars, festoons of greenery, white Christmas trees, gay formals and uniforms . . . The Carni¬ val—shrieks from the haunted house; the freak show barker; laughter and noise; the eight-act stage show with its prize winning All Star Musical Re¬ vue ' ' . . . The Spring Formal for the Echo Queen ' s coronation . . . The revision and printing of the constitution . . . The halloween party . . . All¬ school dances, class teas, open houses, and all-school shows filled in a busy and memorable year. 37 op Even the faculty has to put up with the treacherous little scamp. There ' d be nothing to this teaching if it weren ' t for Pete lurking in the background. He ' s the one that asks all the questions that can ' t be answered. He messes up all the black¬ boards and leaves them for the next class. He borrows the text books off the desk and forgets (?) to put them back. It is he that makes the professorial salary an earned one, but at the same time presents a gray hair for every dollar on the check. ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY President Walter H. Ryle, in his seventh year of administration, is meeting the problems of a college at war with determination for better teacher training. It is his belief that teachers should have an understand¬ ing and appreciation of the world in which they live and a fine command of techniques essential to the teaching of others. President Ryle and Margaret Richardson, President of the Student Council. The President at Home. BO AMD OF MEGENTS Beginning at the top in Teachers College administration, we find the Board of Regents, composed of six members from various parts of this district. Their job includes employing teachers, publishing bids for work on the camp¬ us and signing the contracts. The policies and activities of the Teachers College are to a large extent decided upon by the Board in their quarterly meetings. The state superin¬ tendent of schools is an ex-officio member of the board. H. I. Sears J. A. Cooley W. A. Cable R. R. Quinn Dean Eubank Dean Ellison DEAN OF FACULTY Dr. L. A. Eubank, dean of the facul¬ ty and head of the Division of Educa- ton, is probably the busiest man on the campus. His duties include arranging assembly prpgrams, supervising the granting of credits, giving out of in¬ formation about students to employers, and the arranging of class schedules and college curricula. DEAN OF WOMEN Mrs. S. H. Ellison has dean of wo¬ men, director of freshman orientation program, and sponsor of the Pan- Hellenic Council as just a few of her many titles. Her office is probably the most used on the campus. There is no student activity that does not need some advice and the official sanction of the dean of women. Her work is correlated with other activities of the Division of Personnel Service. Prof. Stanley Hayden is head of the Division of Per¬ sonnel Service. This is the department of the college which aids the students in making social, educational, and vocational adjustments. Through the Bureau of Guidance the division deals with these personal prob¬ lems and relationships of the students. Prof. J. T. Angus heads the Division of Extension Service. This division deals with public relations. It includes the Bureau of Field Service, Bureau of Cor¬ respondence and Extension Teaching, Bureau of Place¬ ments, and the Bureau of Alumni Service. This year, for the first time, extension courses were held on the campus. Henry L. Enochs directs the Division of Business Service. This division is responsible for administering funds of the Teachers College. It sees to the main¬ tenance of the college, handles all disbursements of the school, and administers the Student Memorial Fund. 43 C. H.

At that, upon receiving that juicy wink that you notice on the opposite page, the editor promptly fainted and the business manager not only turned grayer, but lost twelve more hairs by actual count. If you notice an old gray-haired couple tottering around the campus on crutches and canes, that, my friends, is all that is left of the Echo editor and business manager.

The WTS school in connection with the Teachers College was changed in September from its previous civilian status to one of military rank. Ground school training on the campus was under the general direction of Otho Barnett, co-ordinator, Dr. John Hollenbach, Dr. P. O. Selby, Carl Noble, Norvell C. Allen, and Ralph Shain. Students received instruction in aerial navigation, including computer, dead reckoning and radio, applied meteorology, course plotting and flight planning, engines, engines aircraft and instruments. 64 Senorita Maria Elena Hidalgo arrived in Kirksville from Alajuela, Costa Rica, January 3, 1943. She came as a good will student to the United States through a scholarship plan under the auspices of the Missouri F ederation of Women ' s Clubs and the Institute of International Education. She was an honor graduate of the high school at Alajuela and later attended for two years the national university of Costa Rica at San Jose. She is the oldest in a family of five children. Both her parents are living. Her father, educated for the bar, owns and operates a large coffee plantation. As Senorita Hidalgo had studied English in her native land, she needed only practice in conversation to make her proficient in the use of our lan¬ guage. Her desire to adjust herself to our American life and to be one of us has endeared her to us all. She is an enthusiastic participant in various activities on the campus where she is affectionately known as Maria . 65 liLiikA. m J3FM ' HrKnf ( w jU JKk .Mum mm 1V • - tjHpf Iff,- jM Reporters: Adams, Ash¬ by, Brookhart, Cosgrove, Eggert, Epperson, Ever- ly, Ferguson, Hart, Hidalgo, Kanouse, Mc- Clanahan, Richardson, Rudasill, and Stoops.
