Lee Jefferson City Allen Rolston Queen City (Page 20) Dr. Eugene Fair President (Page 21) LIVE to bring a smile, a sigh, A handclasp true from out the year just past. My mission is to "echo forth" in days to come, Sometimes with blast of horn, Again with dreamy flute, a host of memories. I shall not be false to those who gave me birth. Staff, students, faculty, all shall feel my touch. It shall be lightsome, sad and gay Forsooth day oped with laughter ended with a tear I'll stand serene and silent on the garden walks. I'll gather with my friends in open hall. I'll make the printed page of book my own. The Echo of this year shall silent never be, So long as fingers run its pages through, Anxious to come again. --Eugene Fair. (Page 22) Henry S. Caulfield Governor of Missouri (Page 23) Dr. John R.

Registrar and Associate Professor of Education (Page 26) Student Council THE Student Council is the organization of the Student body for the purpose of creating a strong self-government, an effective cooperation with the faculty of this college, and for the correlation of student activities. This year the council cooperated with the administration in its orientation program for freshmen. The activity fee of $4.00 is planned by the Student Council. Upon the payment of this fee, the student is given an activity ticket which admits him to athletic and debating contests, dramatic and musical programs, student entertainments and dances, brings him the Index and the Year Book, and entitles him to the services of the Committee on Recommendations, and to health service. The Student Council has at all times final decision in the expenditure of the money gained from these fees. The Student Courts, which represent the Student Body in the disposing of any problems in student life which would regularly come under a department of justice, are a part of this organization and this year they have shown growth and development. The Student Council has been one of the most outstanding extracurricular activities, and to the satisfaction of the administration, is gaining in strength and effectiveness each year.

Couch, Editor, Fall Quarter Dorothy Inbody, Business Manager, Fall Quarter Rupert Rinehart, Editor, Winter and Spring Quarters Herbert Rhoads, Business Manager, Winter and Spring Quarters THE Index has just passed the twenty-second year as a successful paper. It is a laboratory project of the Journalism Class, and the material used in it serves as subject matter for this senior college class in composition. During the last three years it has been entirely a student project under the supervision of the Student Council, which appoints a Student Editor, who in turn, is responsible to the Student Council for the conduct of the paper. The Editor chooses his staff from the class in Journalism and the teacher of that class serves as faculty advisor to the paper. During the past year the paper has been very successful from a financial standpoint, because it has not only paid for itself in advertising, but put money in a growing fund. E. Bigsby, D. Inbody, V.

Appropriate speeches were given by Dr. Fair, Mr. Cosby, Mr. Stokes, C. L. Brewer, Director of Physical Education, University of Missouri, and Don Faurot, Athletic Director. The Stadium has a seating capacity of 2500 and the field is illuminated with 72,000 watts of light. The football field is encircled by a quarter-mile track. This new athletic field will be a great boost to Bulldog athletics in the future.

(Page 108) H. Hudson End C. Bierman Guard C. Cochran Capt.-Elect, Center Capt. T. McArtor Guard J. Craig Guard Review of Football Season THIRTEEN letter men formed the nucleus for this year's Bulldog squad. There was also an unusually promising array of material from various high schools in the state and from a few schools outside the state. After two weeks of strenuous practice the season opened with a game with Chillicothe. The Bulldogs were taken unawares and for the first time in several years came out on the short end of the score, losing 13 to 0. More scrimmage, skull practice and a week later saw the Bulldogs depart for Rolla determined to drag the big end of the score home. However, the Miners were large enough to retain that much coveted long end, and the Bulldogs were again defeated, 19 to 7. (Page 109) H. Bingham End J. Ator End W. Steenbock Center J. Vail Tackle Crawford Fullback Stokes Stadium, our new athletic field, was dedicated just before the game with the Central Eagles which the Bulldogs lost 12 to 7. C. L. Brewer, Director of Athletics at Missouri University, delivered the dedication address. Smarting from three defeats, the Bulldogs departed for Warrensburg to meet the Mules in their first conference set-to or the season. From the beginning Kirksville outplayed the Mules and at the end of the first quarter the score was 0 to 0. Early in the second quarter a fumble and a penalty on Kirksville gave the Mules the ball on K. S. T. C.'s 5 yd. line. From there Allmon, Warrensburg back, plunged through for a touchdown. Warrensburg kicked goal but the point was ruled out because they were off-sides. In the third quarter the Bulldogs resorted to a passing game with little success. The playing continued on even terms until late in the fourth quarter. Then Morris Hammond broke through the (Page 110) L. Wade Halfback W. Earp Quarterback R. Goslin Tackle C. Bigsby Halfback A. Veith Quarterback Mule's line and raced 65 yards for a touchdown. Jim Daugherty kicked goal for the extra point which won the game. Rejuvenated by their hard earned victory over the Mules, the regenerated Bulldogs defeated Westminster 9-0. The following Friday night, October 31, saw the Bulldogs take the conference lead by drubbing the Springfield Bears 13 to 7 at Stokes Stadium. The Bulldogs scored both touchdowns in the first half. The first touchdown came after a steady march down the field with Hatcher carrying the ball over for a touchdown. He also made good the point for goal. Just as the second quarter was ending Kirksville had the ball on the 40 yard line and (Page 111) G. Wilson Guard J. Daugherty Halfback C. Murphy Tackle E. Hatcher Quarterback M. Hammond Halfback in eight straight plays placed the ball once more over the goal line, Hatcher carrying the ball again. In the fourth quarter, Springfield recovered a fumble close to the Bulldogs' goal line and in a few well executed plays carried the ball over for their only score of the game. Due to illness of several men on the squad, augmented by the absence of Hammond and Daugherty, the Bulldogs were handicapped the following week when they met the Kansas State Teachers College team at Emporia. They were defeated 52-0 by the strong Emporia team. Friday night, November 14, the Bulldogs scalped the Hoosiers from back in Indiana at Stokes Stadium. The final score for the game was 32-0. Following the Indiana game, the K. S. T. C. gridsters embarked for a trip to Muskogee, Oklahoma, for a game with the grid cohorts of Northeastern Oklahoma State Teachers (Page 112) W. Barton Tackle H. Maitland End R. House Fullback G. Salome Center R. Elliott Center College. The Oklahomans proved to be strong opposition, piling up an early lead to defeat the Bulldogs 15-0. Turkey Day found the loyal defenders of the M. I. A. A. grid honors cocked and primed to fend off the strong, undefeated Maryville Bearcats. The Bulldogs started the scoring with a long march down the field for the first touchdown. Maryville retaliated with a strong aerial attack that netted a touchdown early in the second quarter. Kirksville pulled a fast play to score again in the second quarter when Maitland, end, and Murphy, tackle, broke through the line to block a Maryville kick on her 40-yard line. Wee Willie Barton scooped up the pigskin and raced for a touchdown. Hatcher added the extra point. The final score for the Bulldogs came late in the third quarter when Hatcher, sterling field general for the Bulldogs, sliced oft tackle for 40 yards and a touchdown. He again added the extra point. This touchdown sewed up the game as the Bulldogs clenched their fourth consecutive football title.

In the two games with the Cape teachers, the Bulldogs were victorious in overtime games. The scores were 37 to 31 and 33 to 32. The Warrensburg Mules were more powerful and succeeded in subduing the Bulldogs in both of the engagements 26 to 23 and 25 to 19. The encounters with Springfield resulted in a fifty-fifty split, the scores being 35 to 21 and 22 to 16. Both contests were marked by loose playing. The champions of Maryville vanquished the Bulldog basketeers in both their contests with comparative ease. The score for the first game was 29 to 17 and for the last 33 to 11. (Page 117) C.

The Central Eagles of Fayette annexed a 33 to 22 victory from the Bulldog quintet. Chillicothe Business College avenged the early season defeat handed them by the Bulldogs in an overtime session 27 to 26. The last game of the season was taken from Trenton Junior College 37 to 36.

Sears Review of the Track Season THE Bulldog track team of the 1930 season was the most successful in the history of the school and brought to K. S. T. C. its first M. I. A. A. track championship. Six victories in dual meets, first in the state meet, third in the Missouri-Kansas Interstate meet, and first in the mile relay at the Missouri University invitation, comprise the enviable record of the track season. The first meet of the season was the Missouri University indoor meet. Ray Keethler was third in the 60-yard high hurdles and the mile relay team took first in that event. (Page 121) E. Cook C. Johnson R. Everhart J. Gaffner D. Tetlow The outdoor meet began at Westminster where the Bulldogs were victorious 83 1/3 to 52 2/3. Boyd and Talbott of Westminster were high point men with 18 and 13 points respectively. Crowder and Hayden garnered 10 points each. The Central Eagles of Fayette were taken next. The final score was 9046. The Bulldogs took every first but two in this meet. Ray Keethler was high point man with 16 points. The indoor meet at Boonville resulted in a 53 1/2 to 35 1/2 victory for the K. S. T. C. tracksters. Four records were broken and one tied. Ray Keethler was high point man, taking three firsts for 15 points. The next victory, over Culver-Stockton 114 to 22, was the most decisive of the season. The Bulldogs collected every first in this meet. (Page 122) C. Lampson E. Mason R. Moorman F. Schwengels M. Hammond Chillicothe Business College was overwhelmed 105 to 22 the week the Bulldogs again took every first place. In the next meet with their traditional rivals, Maryville, the Bulldogs won by of a point. This was one of the closest track victories in the annals of track in the U. S. The final score was 88 1/6 to 87 5/6. The next week the Bulldog trackmen collected a total of 72 points to win the M. I. A. A. Track and Field Championship. Eight firsts contributed noticeably to the Bulldogs' total. Captain Schwengels won the shot put and discus. He set a new conference record with each throw. The distance for the shot was 43'4" and for the discuss 136'9" Hayden stepped the half mile in 2:2.1 for a new record. The following other firsts were taken by Mason, mile run 4:40.1; Moorman, high jump, 5'10"; Crowder 220-yard dash 22.4. (Page 123) A. Garrison C. Hayden J. Keethler C. Simpson The 880yard relay team composed of Schwengels, Ball, R. Keethler and Crowder took first place as did the mile relay team, Schwengels, Johnston, J. Keethler and Hayden. The final meet of the season, the Missouri-Kansas Interstate meet, was the only meet the Bulldogs failed to win. They were third in this meet. Captain Schwengels won the shot and discus, setting a new record of 137'3 1/4". Hatcher won the javelin throw with a toss of 160'3" Hayden stepped the half in 1'59" but in spite of this remarkably good time he was only able to get third place. Seventeen letters were awarded and only three of these men, Captain Schwengels, Mason and Johnston were lost to the team by graduation. Next year's track team should be another great one.
