The active membership in the fraternity is limited to twenty men. The men are selected for membership by active members of the fraternity and approved by a faculty committee and the national office. Blue Key's motto, "Serving, I Live" is the keynote of the fraternity's activities. Each year members of Blue Key plan and carry out a number of projects for the student body and administration. Included in this list is the annual Homecoming, publication of the Student Directory, "I Am An American Day" ceremonies for students reaching their twenty-first birthday, serving as mentors for the incoming freshman, helping during the Senior Day activities and any other project which they feel would be of benefit to the students of the college. The organization is beginning its 25th year on this campus. Mr, Robert McKinney has been sponsor for the last several years. (Page 43) Cardinal Key Cardinal Key, sister organization to Blue Key, is a national honorary service sorority which recognizes achievement in scholarship and extra-curricular activities. The organization attempts to advance religion, patriotism, and service by affording training for leadership on the campus. It stresses character development by application of the cardinal virtues of life. Membership in Cardinal Key is held by girls who have at least sixty hours credit and close to an "S" average scholastically. Its membership is restricted to twenty active members. However, the organization can take in honorary members. This year, Alice Kajiwara, Mia Snel, Farida Fallah, Lillian Tomita, and Leona Karch were given honorary membership in the organization. The members of Cardinal Key participate in any activity through which they can serve the campus. Each year the sorority awards a scholarship to an outstanding student, serves as ushers for civic and college functions, and sponsors the traditional song fest held each summer. When the new residence halls were opened the members of Cardinal key presented a painting to be hung in the main lounge of Blanton Hall.

They are then elected to membership by the members of the society. Programs of the society are largely of the thought provoking type; however, an occasional social hour is enjoyed by the group.

Scoville, Cole, Sponsor; Ketcham, Vrenick. Hellyer, Jorgenson, Franklin, Ivers The Industrial Arts Club was founded at the Teachers College in 1940 to promote Industrial Arts on a professional status equal to other areas of study, by means of better scholarship, a sound professional attitude, and broad general culture. To fulfill the purposes of the club, meetings of both a professional and social nature are held every two weeks during the year. The Club sponsors and participates in many College activities. Three of the outstanding accomplishments of the club during recent years have been: The construction of a beautiful permanent Christmas display. The establishment of a yearly Christmas party for Kirksville children. The construction of two prizewinning Homecoming floats. Students are eligible for membership in the Industrial Arts Club upon the completion of ten hours on work in Industrial Arts with above average grades.

Ward, Brotemarkle, F. Ward, Boyles Back on the job the last week of August, Lester Kraft, Don Byers, Max Fountain, Frank and Travis Ward and others set up an eats stand on the pike of the Northeast Missouri Fair grounds. They made nickel coffee, two-bit sandwiches and lots of friends during the four-day program. They also accumulated a tidy sum for the 1949-50 treasury so the Club could eat the remainder of the year. Although this is not mentioned in either the club charter or constitution, tradition has it that this is the eatin'ist organization on the campus with some of the best cooks. Don Byers and the "Chariton Valley Boys" were on the program of the Northeast Fair one afternoon and adjourned down to the eats stand later to offer some stimulating harmony. In a few minutes the place was swamped and the boys had to quit singing and playing to thin them out. So next day Don fetched his banjo to stir up a little business but the same stampede started again and the boys hired him to quit because the customers wouldn't leave as long as the singing continued. The annual Haloween "Barnwarmin," a prize winning Homecoming float, and H. A. Kirk's "Aggies," intra-mural basketball team, were some of the high-lights of the work calendar. Card parties, chili suppers, and a dinner program in the new cafeteria, helped to keep the wives and dates interested. (Page 53) Agriculture Club Frank Fechtling, program chairman, sure knew his cooks when he turned that part over to Spriggs and Goucher with Frenzen on the buying end. Van Eitel, former club member furnished one of the top programs of the year with colored film and a lecture on his experiences in Europe last summer while representing Missouri 4H clubs as an exchange student. Again the Agriculture Club helped sponsors Blanchard and Allen conduct the fifteen FFA and Agriculture Northeast Missouri district contests held as a part of the 1950 Northeast Missouri High School Festival with approximately fifty schools represented during the two days of judging.

Without vital, important, influencing service we are but another organization. By concentrating our efforts toward the goal of unselfish service envisioned by our founders, we become a dynamic force in the life of each campus, community, and our nation. 1919-50 have been recognition years on the campus of the Teachers College. Having a membership of 11, APO has served in its four fields of Service: School, Community, Nation, and Boy Scouts. Breaking down this we see--Blood Bank, Cloak rooms, March of Dimes, Scout basketball benefit and many other smaller projects. Our few socials have been overwhelming successes. Next year we are looking forward to more SERVICE on the campus. With the aims of Leadership, Friendship and Service. APO marches on. (Page 55) Alpha Phi Omega Andereck, C. Bennett, B.

Pi Kappa Sigma Sorority was founded at Michigan State Normal College, Ypsilanti, Michigan on November 17, 1894. A group of home economics majors at the State Teachers' College, Kirksville, petitioned the national office for entrance and in 1924 became Pi chapter of the national sorority Pi Kappa Sigma that is at present organized on this campus. Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority was founded at Virginia State Normal School Farmville, Virginia on April 20, 1898. In 1915 the local sorority of Sigma Delta Chi became Mu chapter of the national organization of Sigma Sigma Sigma that is at present active on this campus. Alpha Sigma Alpha Sorority was also founded at Virginia State Normal School, Farmville, Virginia, but just a little later on November 15, 1901. In 1914 the local sorority of Kappa Theta Psi petitioned and was accepted as Alpha Beta chapter of the national sorority of Alpha Sigma Alpha that is active now on the campus at Kirksville. Delta Sigma Epsilon Sorority was founded on September 28, 1914 at Miami University Teachers' College, Oxford, Ohio. In 1921 a group of 13 girls petitioned the national office for entrance and became Iota chapter of the national organization of Delta Sigma Epsilon now active on the campus. Phi Sigma Epsilon Fraternity was founded at the Kansas State Teachers' College, Emporia, Kansas in February of 1910. At Kirksville, the local fraternity of Sigma Delta Tau, three years old at the time, petitioned the national office for entrance and in 1926 became Gamma chapter of the national organization. Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity was founded at the Central Missouri State Teachers' College, Warrensburg, on June 28, 1920. The local fraternity of Phi Lambda Epsilon, at the time already 29 years old, after petitioning the national office, became, in 1921, Beta chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma, the national organization that is active on the Slate Teachers' College campus today.

After the rush season 25 new pledges joined their big sisters and helped celebrate the 56th year of Pi Kappa Sigma at a Founder's Day banquet. (Page 63) Pi Kappa Sigma February 3, Donna Siegle looked lovely as candidate for Carnival Queen. Our skit, the "Fatal Quest" was put on by such notables as Rose Kelly, Becky Haw key, Mariam Graves, Garnett Grim and Mildred Carter.

We started the year with thirty-five active members and a lot of enthusiasm. There were those get-togethers at the frat house--the chili supper--the scavanger-hunt, where Lauer's teeth made their debute--the Alpha, Pi Kap, Phi Sig sponsored open house with "Cigareets, Whuskv, and Wild-Wild Women" done by "Red" Danclovic and the boys--rush season!!--the smoker stirring the frat house from top to bottom--the Apache Dance in a rocky cave--and best of all, thirty-eight new pledges who gained notoriety as the "ribbon and bucket brigade"--a beautiful "hell-night" (hot too)--formal initiation--the Carnival with "Romeo" Elam, "Juliet" Lane, and "Red" Danclovic and Company taking first with their skit--the regional conclave at Warrens-burg--and the many hours of fellowship that we will always remember. We are looking forward to the spring formal in May and many more successful years for PHI SIGMA EPSILON.

The year 1949-1950 starts with great hopes for the oldest fraternity on the campus as Sigma Tau Gamma starts its 58th year. The address at 515 South High becomes home as 12 Taus move into the new Fraternity House. Say--that new Scholarship Cup looks good on the mantle. The spitoons, six shooters, and beautiful women at the '49er Rush Dance will not be soon forgotten and neither will the food and rare stories at the smoker. Homecoming sees the Taus take third place with their "Bottle Up Rolla" float. (Page 69) Sigma Tau Gamma Mellow mood at the smoker . . . "Preacher" Andereck . . . "Sherif!"

Carnival time again and the Deltas, Tri Sigs, and Taus sponsor the "Inferno," night club deluxe. Don't forget the new fraternity sign given by the alumni. Informal dances, hayrides, open house for the new fraternity house, and numerous other good times are not forgotten as the "While Hose Formal" and an evening of eating, tall tales, and dancing come to an end. Three cheers for the fine leadership of President Gus Kumm and Mr. John Goetze, the best sponsor on the campus.

Allen Student Council The student body of the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College is governed by the college student council composed of a councilman and a councilwoman from each of the classes along with seven members elected by the student body. The members this year are: Bill Speak, President; Don Merritt, Vice-president; Joe Danclovic, Treasurer; June Martin, Secretary; Jack Wells, Carol Funk, Gus Kumm, Martha Bess James, Billie Jean Rixie, Ted Vrenick, David Janson, Chris Martin, Gene Bowen, and Carolyn Calhoun form the remainder of the 1949-1950 Student Council. Much credit is given to the able leadership of Dr. C. H. Allen, the faculty sponsor, for his guiding hand. The homecoming dance, supervision of the Freshman handbook, open houses, partial financing of the Echo, as well as class teas and functions are all under the supervision of the student council. The all school carnival sponsored by the council again highlighted the year as well as providing the needed funds to augment council funds. (Page 73) Student Social Committee Again this year the student social committee has been the nucleus for campus activity. The committee is chosen by the Student Council from volunteers from the student body. It is closely associated with the Social Calendar Committee and the Dean of Women in the planning of the varied program of activities during the school year. Melva Rae Martin, Dean of Women' is the sponsor and a member of the Social Calendar Committee is the chairman. During the fall quarter the committee helps in the freshmen orientation, by planning the social activities for the new students. The highlight of these activities is the annual Freshman Frolic. Each year the committee plans a garden party, picnic, open houses, dances, and teas for the entertainment and benefit of the student body. Even though this is only the second year that the committee has been active, it has done much to foster social activities on the campus and in general make college life a little more enjoyable for the students.

The marching band was an added attraction at the football games, basketball games, and parades. Directed by Paul Strub, the fifty-five piece concert band made a spring concert tour of the St. Louis area playing to audiences totaling approximately 15,000. The tour was ended with a concert in Kirk Auditorium. Besides its many rehearsals in Recital Hall and its frequent appearances, the band takes an active part in school affairs. The band skit at the carnival was considered one of the best. The band members find time to sponsor an occasional Open House and frequent social functions for members. The band is organized with student-elected officers and an executive committee made up of representatives of the band. The officers were: president, Lloyd Johns; vice-president. Bill Richardson; secretary-treasurer, Zolene Perry.

Being chosen for Who's Who gives the students a biographical listing in the publication and a certificate of membership. It also gives them the right to wear the distinctive Who's Who key and to purchase a copy of the publication. The students are chosen by a faculty committee from the junior and senior classes. The basis for selection is scholarship, leadership in campus life, and future promise. Who's Who maintains a placement bureau for the students selected and gives worthwhile aid to the graduate. 1st Row: Gene Bowen, John Goeke. Jean Leach. June Martin. Stephen Melvin.

The famous Greek tragedy was presented in the Little Theater on the first three days of November. The play, directed by Miss Betsy Worrell, was given before a realistic setting designed by Don Powell, speech and drama instructor in the Junior High School, and constructed by members of College Players. The cast was chosen from the student body. The spring quarter found the dramatic emphasis shifting from the classical to the modern. The recent Broadway hit "All My Sons" by Arthur Miller was given in Kirk Auditorium on May 3. The play was directed by Sherod Collins. Don Powell designed and supervised the construction of the setting. Gloria Lanza and Mary Jane Mabee as "Antigone" and "Ismene" in the fall play, "Antigone" . . .

After a very successful performance of the Pirates of Penzance during the spring of 1949, the department of fine arts continued to make musical history at the Teachers' College by performing Smetana's "The Bartered Bride." Principal roles were sung by Stephen Melvin, Paul Kaye, David Rissler, Herschel Burris. Beverly Cragg, Mary Jane Linder, and Raymond Goeke. The setting was designed and constructed by members of the Art Department under the supervision of Kurt Ballard. (Page 81) Orchestra Teachers College Orchestra presents successful concerts The 30 piece Teachers College Orchestra, under the baton of Karl E. Webb, presented its first concert of the year in December. The concert featured selections composed by Gretry, Beethoven, Mozart, Mendelssohn, and Strauss. The formally attired orchestra gave a pleasing, polished performance. The orchestra cooperated with the chorus in the presentation of the annual opera, "The Bartered Bride." A final concert in April featured the original compositions of music students at the college. Students and faculty volunteer the time for rehearsals for the orchestra. Orchestra rests during first concert of the year (Page 82) Christmas Week The week before the recess for the Christmas vacation is always one of the most gala of the year. During this time the students enjoy the annual formal Christmas dance, the Christmas tea given by the faculty, and the annual presentation of THE NATIVITY, the tableau depicting (he first Christmas. The city is decorated for the season, the buildings echo the holiday cheer. Santa Claus descends on the city with candy for the children, and good will prevails. The Industrial Arts department takes the lead in the decoration of the campus with a Santa Claus complete with reindeer and sleigh on the roof. The result of this week of celebration is a student body that departs for their vacation with the spirit of Christmas instilled in their hearts, ready for a joyous vacation. (Page 83) Index Journalism students provide campus with weekly news Orchids to the hardworking guys and gals who put out the weekly Teachers' College Index under the supervision of Miss Agnes Slemons and the leadership of the student editors. The Index came out on schedule most of the time and gave the students the latest news on classes, clubs, sports, and activities. Thomas Kesson drew the editorial assignment during the fall, aided and assisted by his staff of H. 0. Brough, Boy Broyles, Gordon Thomas, Roger Gordon, Virge Hoemann, Wanda Kimbrell, Shirley Olson, Dale Reesman, and George Waddill. During the winter the hot scoops were gathered by co-editors Boyd Tibbies and Dale Reesman and their staff, Gil Demry, Keith Fetters, Dorothy Graves, Virge Hoemann, Shirley Olson, Anne Sue Rogers, Stan Serwatka, Cecilia Tabler, Shirley Truitt, and Bill Campbell. Shirley Truitt was elected editor for the spring. A large staff consisting of Louise Beauchamp, Frances Boley, Jack Bushman.

Co-Editor (Page 84) Miss Carol Ann Funk 1949 Homecoming Queen (Page 85) Homecoming 1949 Blue Key planning pays off with successful event Despite inclement weather, a large crowd of students and faculty gathered in Kirk Auditorium Friday night to begin the 1949 Homecoming celebration. The frailties that kept a large number of students from sitting on the main floor as Blue Key, Homecoming planners, asked them did not keep them from getting into the spirit of the evening and showing the kind of pep needed. The weather outside was gloomy enough to force cancellation of the snake dance and bonfire that had been planned, but the Teachers College band; Carl Fisher, '48, master of ceremonies; Felix Rothschild and Clifton Cornwell, speakers for the evening; the cheerleaders; and the coronation of the queen provided enough celebration for everyone. Something new in coronations was added this year. The processional of the candidates, escorted by Blue Key members, had already ascended to the stage and still the queen was secret. Blue Key president Jim Stookey walked onto the stage, a spot light went to the rear of the darkened auditorium and Bulldog quarterback Darrell Gourley passed a gold painted football with the Queen's name on it to Stookey. After an assist by Carl Bennet and John Goeke, escorts, Jim announced Miss Carol Ann Funk, Kirksville, as Queen and escorted her to the throne, to be crowned Miss Homecoming of 1949. The jubilant crowd adjourned home through the rain expecting a very soggy parade on Saturday morning. During the night the rain stopped and by parade time it was a beautiful fall day. At ten o'clock the next morning one of the largest parades in the Teachers' College history began its way uptown. Included were floats, visiting high school bands and naturally the College band leading the parade. The Industrial Arts Club, The Agriculture Club, and Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity floats were chosen as the best three by a committee of businessmen. The Queen was Blue Key's guest at the annual Founder's day Luncheon at the Traveler's Hotel. After the luncheon she and her court were escorted to the game and presented to the record breaking crowd. Other pregame activities included a parade of the prizewinning floats and the Freshman-Sophomore tug'o'war. This year the Sophomores proved to be the more powerful aggregation and pulled the protesting Frosh through clouds of perfume administered by two cheerleaders armed with fly sprayers. On the gridiron the Bulldogs proved unable to withstand a powerful Rolla attack and came off the field second best. Saturday night the students and alumni again gathered in Kirk Auditorium for the Homecoming Dance featuring the music of Paul Strub and his orchestra. By the time the dance was over most of the students were ready to say that this was one fine Homecoming and were planning to spend all day Sunday recuperating.

General planning chairman Ted Vrenick and his committee began early to contact the organizations to find out what sort of contribution they were planning to make. Among concessions sponsored by the organizations were the ASA confetti stand, The Ag Club Rooster Guessing Game, The Tri Sigma, Delta, Sig Tau night club--"The Inferno," The Industrial Arts Club's penny pitch, Ellen If. Richards Snack Bar, Pi Omega Pi Penny Guessing Game, APO sponsored movies of campus life, scenes and cartoons, ACE Faculty Gallery, Alpha Phi Sigma balloon stand, and the Cardinal Key cloak room. Miss Jean McCollom 1950 Carnival Queen (Page 89) Carnival Don Merritt 1950 Carnival King The scene of action shifted from Sociability Hall to the gymnasium for the skits presented by the organizations. From an outstanding array of clever skits the judges picked the Phi Sig parody of Romeo and Juliet and a rendition of "Cigarettes, Whiskey and Wild, Wild Women,' a la Red Ingle for the first place winner. The fraternity went home ten dollars richer for their efforts. The Sig Taus came in for their share of glory with Sigma Tau Television skit including a rendition of the "Too Fat Polka" in Deutsch by Fugate, the Ink Spots quartet, and numerous references to that taste treat in cigarettes, "Fortunate Hits." Alpha Sigma Alpha looked into the future to see what the classroom would be in 1960 and won third prize for their ability to amusingly forecast trends in education. The other skits were clever and amusing and added much to the general tone of laughter. (Page 90) Carnival THE ROYALTY OF THE 1950 CARNIVAL Her Majesty Jean McCollom and King Don Merritt The traditionally uproarious faculty skit, never a contestant but always a winner presented "They'll do it Every Time." Pet Peeves of the faculty for years got an airing and provided a climax to the skits that lacked little. Charles Kauzlarich, Master of Ceremonies for the skit and for the evening, was at his humorous best all evening. An outstanding feature of the Carnival is the race for King and Queen. Each Sorority and Fraternity chooses a candidate and supports their choice to the fullest extent of their pocket books. This year's winner for the Queen race is Jean McCollom, Delta Sigma Epsilon. McCollom is from Unionville, and a Sophomore in the Teachers College. Phi Sigma Epsilon's candidate for King was the winner again this year. Don Merritt was crowned as King of the 1950 Carnival. Don is a Senior, from Seymour, Iowa. (Page 91) Carnival Steve Melvin was one of the lucky winners and carried a radio home. R. E. Valentine has a good eye for the number of pennies in a jar. For the second year he has won the contest. This year, however, "Val" had to share his booty with another sharp eyed fellow, George Kelso. The main purpose of the Carnival is to augment the Student Council funds. The numerous dances and social activities sponsored by the student government calls for an extended budget. The college yearbook gets some assistance from these funds. Scenes taken during the annual Carnival.

At Canton, Missouri in the season opener, the Bulldogs went down before a second half Wildcat onslaught; losing to Culver Stockton College 13 to 7 in a thrilling but heartbreaking game for The Dogs. A week later, the highly favored Missouri Valley Vikings were held to a 27 to 7 victory over the underdog Teachers in the second game of the season. Again in their third game the Dogs defense broke under a second half strain that led to a bitter 48 to 6 defeat at the hands of the St. Louis University Billikens. The Bullpups, in their only game of the season, broke the ice as they rolled to a 20 to 6 victory over the Kemper Military Academy Cadets. John Alderson, Joe Asperger, Roger Beisemeyer.

The early games of the season found the Bulldogs holding their own against the strong opposition Coach King had lined up. Conference play began on the road against Rolla. The Bulldogs, minus the services of Jewell Nichols, 6'6" center, lost the conference opener in a heartbreaking 51-50 decision. Letterman Nichols was out for the rest of the season with a bad ankle. Don Thompson Guard Earl Perry Guard Ken Curtis Forward Jewell Nichols Center (Page 107) Basketball From then until the end of the season, the Bulldogs played fairly even, sometimes brilliant ball. With the playmaking and defensive ability of Don Thompson, and the deadly accuracy of Perry, and Chiappy, the veterans on the squad, providing the spark, Coach King's freshman and sophomore team finished the season with a record of 10 wins and 13 losses. The Teachers College totaled 1169 points in their 23 games for an average of 50 points per game. M.I.A.A. CONFERENCE PLAY From the ten games in conference play, the Bulldogs came out on top in half of them for a third place berth in the league. Two games that might have changed things in the M.I.A.A. all around had they came out differently were a 1 point defeat handed the dogs by Rolla and a 2 point victory by the Champion Springfield Bears. Winning five placed Kirksville in the number three slot in conference standing. The Bears of Springfield won the first place spot and Maryville and Warrensburg tied for the second position. The mythical All-Conference selections made by sportswriters gave Earl Perry, Bulldog guard, a berth on the first, team. Perry won his place by aggressive, never give up, playing and a basket eye that netted 235 points for the year.

This highly esteemed group is the supreme administrative unit of the Teachers College. The State Commissioner of Education is a member ex-officio of the board. (Page 116) Office of the President Joseph Baldwin, pioneer educator and founder of the Teachers College said, "Thorough scholastic training lies at the foundation of a teacher's education." The years that President Walter H. Ryle has held the highest administrative post of this college have not seen any diminishing of the quality of instruction given to the students of the college. President Ryle, a thorough scholar himself, makes every effort to see that students of this school have the best in faculty and equipment. During his years at the Teachers College, many improvements have been made, both in educational programs and in beautifying the physical aspects of the campus. President Ryle supervises both the physical and the intellectual phases of the campus life and the result is an outstanding teacher training institution and a campus that is one of the most beautiful in the state.
