Hubert Wheeler

State Commissioner of Education

As State Commissioner of Education, Mr. Hubert Wheeler is 
supervisor of all of Missouri's public schools and in that 
capacity he meets with the Board of Regents of the college as 
ex-officio member. In this manner Mr. Wheeler keeps in close 
contact with the policies and management of the college.

Also the Commissioner of Education is concerned with carrying 
out the policies of the State Board of Education; the improving 
of all phases of instruction concerned with education, health 
and general welfare of learners in the various levels and the 
assisting in effectively organizing, managing and financing the

Board of Regents

The highest administrative and governing body of the college 
is the Board of Regents, made up of six members selected from 
outstanding business and professional men from the Northeast Missouri 
area. The board sets the policies and handles final business 
for the college, including such work as employment of teachers, 
consideration of bids for work, approval of bills and signing of contracts.

The work of the board has been especially challenging and busy 
since the initiation of the new building program for the campus. The 
Board of Regents stands as the highest administrative unit of the institution.

Walter Harrington Ryle

The eleven years that Walter H. Ryle has been President of Northeast Missouri 
State Teachers College have formed an era of many improvements. Through his 
efforts the faculty has increased in quality of training and number. Through 
his efforts it is now possible to do graduate work toward a Master of Arts 
Degree in five fields. A graduate of the Teachers College, President Ryle was a member of the 
faculty for nine years before being named President in 1937. From his 
desk in Baldwin Hall President Ryle keeps a finger on the pulse of the 
whole school and does all in his power to help carry on in the traditions 
of superior scholastic training for the prospective teachers who come to 
this college. Primarily a teacher, President Ryle still finds time to 
devote hours to his garden and an occasional hunting trip. He is 
married, has one son, Walter H., Jr., and resides in a spacious home in Kirksville.

a sound public relations program for the college may be 
developed and sustained. The office is always busily occupied 
in the printing of official documents, making preliminary

C. H. Allen, B.S., M.A., Ph.D.

Division of Personnel Service

Directly or indirectly, almost every phase of student activity 
is connected with the Division of Personnel Service--social life, 
health, the testing and guidance program and the veteran's 
guidance service. At the head of this division is Dr. C. H. Allen.

The faculty members and advisors guide the student in 
choice of curricula and activities which will be beneficial 
to him in the future.

The Dean of Women supervises the college social life and 
helps beginning freshmen to make needed adjustments.

The Veterans Administration Guidance Center carries on a 
program of counseling and testing to aid any veteran 
student interested in this service.

Free health examinations and consultations are provided. 
The college physician is more than willing to serve in 
order to maintain the health standards of the college.

Dean of Women

Always willing to lend a helping hand, Miss Melva Rae Gingerich, 
the Dean of Women, aids students in social and personal problems 
and is instrumental in the supervision of a wholesome and stimulating 
program of social activities on the campus.

As sponsor of the Pan-Hellenic Council, the Dean of Women works 
closely with the social sororities on the campus. Also, Miss Gingerich 
is chairman of the Social Calendar and activities of the college 
are cleared through her office.

The Dean of Women is supervisor of housing and prepares an 
approved list of rooms, which necessitates the inspection of 
rooming houses and the working out of rules and regulations 
both for the students and the landlords.

Miss Gingerich prepares and organizes the Freshman Handbook 
which is given to all incoming freshmen. The office is correlated 
with all other activities of the Division of Personnel Service.

Head of Division of Extension Services and Director
Bureau of Placements

Division of Extension Services

The purpose of the Extension Office is to extend the 
services of the college. Out of town classes and correspondence 
courses are available. Visual education films are provided 
the surrounding area for a nominal fee. The placements bureau 
falls under this heading. Perhaps the most important duty 
is that of the field service. Not only are students secured 
for enrollment at this college but the attempt is made to 
show seniors in the surrounding area the need for 
higher education.

Division of Business Service

The Division of Business Service, under the supervision 
of Bailey Wright, division head and business manager, takes 
care of all financial and business books of the college. 
One of its important duties is that of handling the

students who momentarily need financial aid. Rather 
than a large sum being meted out to a few, relatively 
small loans are provided for many. Stenographic and 
duplicating service for the faculty and numerous 
other duties fall under this office.

Veteran's Administration Guidance Center

Acting as a connecting link between the veteran students 
and the regional veteran's administration offices is the 
Guidance Center. Under the direction of H. L. Bates, the 
staff comprised of Gene Tuggle, training officer; 
George Volmert, assistant vocational appraiser, and 
James Wordsley, work with the veterans of this area in 
helping to solve subsistence difficulties, administering 
aptitude tests and giving general counseling.

This office keeps a large number of records on each veteran 
enrolled for training under the GI bill. The Guidance Center 
personnel works closely with Mr. Allen and the Division of 
Personnel Service of the Teachers College.

Phi Sigma Epsilon

As the 48- 49 school year closes the Phi Sigs look back upon a 
year of abundant activity and numerous honors. We were particularly 
proud of our newly acquired fraternity house, and gave it a gala 
opening with an all-school open-house. An alumni smoker and numerous 
impromptu get-togethers brought us to the Homecoming festivities 
Willie Lang with his squeeze box and halo on the Phi Sig float the 
alumni coming in to renew old acquaintances -the Homecoming dance 
(and the party afterward!) The Christmas dance--(oh! my)--followed 
by a new year and the opening of rush season. The rush smoker at 
the house and the famous Apache dance (ably assisted by Bartender 
Quinn) brought 37 new pledges into our ranks. Worm season Walker's 
short-sheeting worm a chilly field night the march of the broom 
brigade and the final formal initiation.

The Carnival season found the Phi Sigs at new heights 
King Mark Fox "Mr. Speaker," our prize-winning skit--Elwood Campbell 
and his fine MC job. The visit of the Phi Sigs from Maryville - 
The meetings at the house with Edwards and Enk contesting for 
oratorical honors--The All-Greek dance - the election campaigns 
lead us to the crowning event of the year .... the glorious banquet 
and dance at the court of King Neptune in the spring.

Graduation of many of the "old1" Phi Sigs to the rank of alumni 
places the young blood at the helm of the fraternity, looking 
forward to another great year.

Sigma Tau Gamma

The year 1948-49 will be remembered by various individuals 
for a variety of reasons. Politicians can never forget the ballot 
upset, statesmen can never forget the "Cold War," and the 
members of Sigma Tau Gamma can never forget Dave Rissler 
strumming Margie on his "geetar" while Tau voices blended 
in song the mysterious appearance of certain Greek letters 
in blue ink in a certain place Hell week and "Was I 
insubordinate, SIR?" dinner meetings and "I'll take the rest 
of that chicken" excursions southward after meetings and 
Freddie's delicious coffee. Yes, there are lots of things 
Taus will remember. On the serious side there are items 
like 36 new men the Tom Angus Scholarship Steve Melvin's 
swell administration and, of course, the women we loved !!

Alpha Sigma Alpha

The year of 48-49 in retrospect brings many memories to A. S. A. After 
having won the scholarship trophy to keep, we returned last fall determined 
to keep our scholarship high and still be the busiest girls of the campus.

We were really proud of Jean Leach as 1948 Echo Queen and Bev, Norma, Carol, 
and Jeanne as Home-coming attendants. The sleepy-eyed "Alpha Jama Breakfast" 
and the colorful Gypsy Dance brought us fourteen glamorous pledges.

The Founder's Day Banquet was delightful, with the alumnae entertaining.

The Christmas spirit was present at Miss Zoller's as we prepared to go home 
for the holiday. A. S. A. confetti girls at the carnival, the trio singing in 
the skit, and Azalea Belt as our candidate for carnival queen. February 12 was 
the big day of the Sweetheart Dance. Even though it rained, everyone's 
spirits were high.

Alpha Trio gaining favor all over town and winning the talent contest.

Mother's Day and, as always, every girl's mother her special guest at 
the tea.

The Crack-O-Dawn Breakfast-Dance bidding farewell to graduates and the

Delta Sigma Epsilon

The good ship, S. S. Delta, lifted its anchors and set 
sail for a happy school year. After a few miles of sailing, 
the pledge dance was held in the main ballroom and everyone 
had a swell time. During the year, the Deltas dropped anchor 
at various places and one time they all went ashore to 
attend the swell street dance given them by their pledges. 
At another time, the anchor was dropped in Kirk Auditorium when 
cute Dee Kriner was crowned carnival queen. When the wind quit 
blowing at the end of the school year, the Delta's log 
contained many happy events of the year.

Blue Key

Blue Key is an honorary service organization formed to serve the 
students on this campus. 

In the past year it has served the school with many activities.
In the fall of 1948 the Homecoming, to which we all looked forward, proved to be the 
greatest success in years. It was a gala two-day event. On Friday evening we had a 
successful pep rally, the crowning of the queen, lovely Betty Miller, 
and a snake dance that led us to the high school field. The bonfire and music 
provided by the school band was conducive to building a greater school spirit than 
we had known in years.

We were also proud of our Student Directory this year. So far, few mistakes have 
been found and it certainly gives good service to students.

Then there are the Senior Day activities on the campus each spring when Blue Key 
members act as guides and hosts to the visiting high school seniors.

Members of Blue Key are ready to help any activity they can any 
time assistance is needed.

Pi Omega Pi

Pi Omega Pi, a national honor society in Business Education, was 
founded in 1923 at this college by Dr. P. O. Selby, the present sponsor. 
After 26 years, Alpha Chapter at Kirksville has an active membership 
of 36 and there are nearly 70 chapters of Pi Omega Pi in colleges and 
universities throughout the United States.

John Kimberly, president, and Dr. P. O. Selby attended the National Convention 
of Pi Omega Pi in Detroit on December 27-28, 1948.

Activities sponsored by Pi Omega Pi this year were the "Penny Guess" 
at the All-School Carnival, and a speech by Don Chaney, representative 
of the Southwestern Publishing Company.

During the past year, 1948-49, Alpha Chapter has initiated many 
new members, students having fifteen hours of business education or 
ten hours of business education and five hours of education and meeting 
the scholarship requirements of Pi Omega Pi.

organization on the campus. It is sponsored by Dr. Pauline Knobbs. Its 
present officers are Elwood Campbell, president; Tom Brown, vice-president; 
Robert Pfaff, secretary-treasurer; and Mary Kerr, reporter.

All faculty members and major students in the division automatically 
belong to the organization. Other student members are nominated upon 
recommendation by faculty members. They are then elected to membership 
by the members of the society.

Programs of the society are largely of the controversial issue type; 
however, an occasional social hour is engaged in by the group.

Baptist Student Union

Throughout the school year the B. S. U. sponsors many spiritual

the summer months the organization is active for any of the 
students who remain for the summer term. Tom Harper heads this 
active program for Baptist students.

Student Council

This year, as in the preceding years, the student body organization 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: 
Francis Dant, president; Mark Fox, vice-president; Edith Ford, secretary; Jim Cripps, 
treasurer; Evelyn Bliss, councilwoman; Floyd Shearer, councilman; Richard Erzen, 
council-member-at-large; Dee Kriner, senior councilwoman; Luke Shoemaker, senior 
councilman; Winifred Kimler, junior councilwoman; Steve Melvin, junior councilman; 
Suzanne Vaughn, sophomore councilwoman; Don Merritt, sophomore councilman; Marietta 
Bartlett, freshman councilwoman; Elroy Hines, freshman councilman. Dr. C. H. Allen 
is the faculty sponsor.

The homecoming dance, October 30, 1948, supervision of the publication of the Freshman 
handbook, and numerous open houses on Friday and Saturday nights, were all planned by the 
student council. Perhaps the all-school carnival was the highlight of this year's student 
council activities.
 

(Page 72)

Student Social Committee

A growing need for a student group to aid the Social Calendar 
Committee of the Student Council in planning social activities 
for the college resulted in the formation of the Student Social 
Committee early in the summer quarter. This committee, composed 
of twenty student members selected by the Student Council, works 
with the Social Calendar Committee and the Office of the Dean of 
Women in planning and activating a well-rounded program of social 
activities during the school year. The group is under the 
chairmanship of a member of the Social Calendar Committee and 
is sponsored by the Dean of Women.

Since its origin last summer the committee has been active 
in many ways. During the summer quarter there was an All-School 
Garden Party and an all-school picnic and fun night. At the 
beginning of the fall quarter the social activities of the 
orientation program, including the Freshman Frolic, were planned 
and carried out. The Union Room in Socialibility Hall was this 
committee's brainchild. The popular open houses after ball games 
were possible because of the committee's willingness to supervise 
them. The idea of a Spinster's Spree was fostered by the committee 
as well as the class teas held at intervals during the year. 
During its first year of existence the Student Social Committee 
has done much to improve the social life on the campus. It is a 
hard-working group, full of ideas that are due to benefit the 
student body.

first college courses. All is not work, however. Social 
activities to help the freshmen get to know each other 
are carefully planned and carried out.

Football

Pittsburg, Kan., Sept. 17.--Art Hochstedler, in the closing seconds 
of a football game here tonight, went high into the air to pull down 
a pigskin tossed by Darrell Gourley. As the gun sounded seven seconds 
later the score stood, Kirksville Teachers 12, Pittsburg 12.

Marshall, Mo., Sept. 24--The Missouri Valley Vikings won their 
34th consecutive victory here tonight, defeating the Kirksville 
Bulldogs 20-0. The badly outclassed Teachers, sparked by the kicking 
of Morris Osburn, played a brilliant defensive game against the speedy Vikings.

Kirksville, Mo., Sept. 29.--At Stokes stadium the K. S. T. C. Bullpups 
edged out Kemper Military Academy by the narrow margin of 6-2 tonight. 
Three times Kemper penetrated deep into dogland but a staunch line broke 
up each drive within three yards of pay dirt.

Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 1.--The Rockhurst Hawks fell to a 26-6 defeat 
tonight before the onslaught of the K. S. T. C. Bulldogs. Little Joe Asperger 
crossed the Hawk goal-line twice in the first half and Stan Sadich 
scored two more times in the second.

Kirksville, Mo., Oct. 8.--Tonight the Bulldogs, at Stokes Stadium for the 
first time this season, met Cape Girardeau in an MIAA conference tilt. Gourley 
tallied in the second quarter and Sadich went over in the fourth to give 
the Dogs a 12-0 victory.

Springfield, Mo., Oct. 15.--A desperate pass attempt in the last minute 
of a game here tonight gave Springfield a 12-6 margin over the Kirksville 
Teachers. The Teachers offense was weak but their defensive wall held 
the Bears to a minimum.

Kirksville, Mo., Oct. 22.--Coming from down under, the K. S. T. C. Bulldogs 
unleashed a brilliant second-half display of football talent tonight to 
defeat the Missouri U. "B" squad, 18 to 13. A forward pass, Gourley to 
Cannon, and two laterals, Cannon to Asperger to Sadich, gave the Dogs their 
first tally. Sadich went over again in the fourth quarter and another pass, 
from Gourley to Asperger put the game on ice. Missouri "B" led at the 
half 13-0.

Kirksville, Mo., Oct. 30.--The K. S. T. C. Teachers opened their 
Homecoming game this afternoon with a spirited drive that led to pay dirt before 
the bewildered Warrensburg Mules could establish their defense. Sadich crossed 
the pay-stripe before the game was three minutes old and Jack Wells added the 
extra point. However, the remainder of the match found neither team able to 
score and the game ended, Bulldogs 7, Mules 0.
 

(Page 77)

Maryville, Mo., Nov. 6.--The educated toe of a Bearcat player 
defeated the Kirksville Teachers this afternoon by the narrow 
margin of one point, 13-12. Both Bulldog tallies came as the 
result of passes, one from Osburn to Serwatka and the other 
from Osburn to Creath.

Rolla, Mo., Nov. 13.--The Rolla Miners and the Kirksville 
Bulldogs fought to a 14-14 deadlock here this afternoon. This 
marked the end of another season for the Kirksville eleven and 
brought its seasonal record to four wins, three losses, 
and two ties.

Kirksville, Mo., Nov. 22--Last night the last MIAA conference 
games were played and the final listing found the Kirksville 
Teachers in fourth place. Williams and Sadich represented the 
Bulldogs on the all conference second eleven. Thus the Bulldogs, 
under the coaching leadership of Jim Dougherty, came to the 
close of a successful season.

Homecoming

In the third homecoming since the continuation of that event after the war, 
the men of Blue Key outdid themselves and came up with one of the finest 
celebrations in the history of the college. The two days in October that 
were the scene of this year's festivities were packed with action. 
Friday night the pep rally in Kirk Auditorium, with Carl Fisher as m.c., 
featured Coach Jim Dougherty with an introduction of the Bulldog squad; 
Arnold McQuary, an ex-Bulldog, as guest speaker; the crowning of the 
Homecoming Queen, Betty Miller; and music by the Teachers College band. 
The freshman class provided a committee which worked with the men of Blue 
Key to plan the evening's program. After the ceremonies in Kirk the pepsters 
formed a snake dance that went all the way to Robinson Field for a big bonfire. 
The pep rally broke up fairly early to save strength for Saturday's activities.
 

(Page 80)

Early Saturday morning Blue Key members, parade marshals, were out on the 
West side of Baldwin Hall to line up the parade. They worked in a cold 
drizzle to chalk positions on the street. No one thought the chances of 
a successful parade were very good. But by ten o'clock the sun had started 
shining on Kirksville and turned the day into an ideal parade day. From out 
of a galaxy of clever and original floats a judging committee chose the 
Industrial Arts Club's entry for first place. The Art Club was picked for 
second and the Phi Sigma Epsilon Fraternity entry for third. The Teachers 
College band, with the assistance of several visiting high school bands, 
furnished inspired music for the parade.

Saturday afternoon was probably the real highlight of the day. After the 
parade had made its impressions on the people, the power-packed Bulldogs 
came on the field, scored a touchdown in the opening minutes of the game 
and from then on held the Warrensburg Mules in a game that see-sawed back 
and forth with neither team able to score again. The closing gun found 
the 'Dogs a 7-0 winner.

The Homecoming dance with Russ Carlyle was turned into a real victory 
dance by the Bulldogs' success on the gridiron. A large crowd of students, 
faculty and alumni danced to Carlyle's music, listened to his vocalist, and 
agreed that this had been one of the finest, most completely planned, 
successful Homecomings in its recollection.

Debate Squad
For the second consecutive year the Kirksville debate teams, coached 
by Mr. Sherod J. Collins, of the Division of Language and Literature, 
have taken the highest ratings in both the junior and senior divisions 
at the Missouri State Pi Kappa Delta Tournament.

The season's schedule for 1948-49 followed a well-planned 
pattern with extremely close competition:
FRESHMAN TOURNAMENT (Intramural)
REGENTS AWARD TOURNAMENT (Intramural)
BRADLEY UNIVERSITY INVITATIONAL 
MIDWEST SPEECH TOURNAMENT 
WESTMINSTER ROUND ROBIN 
PI KAPPA DELTA STATE TOURNAMENT 
PI KAPPA DELTA NATIONAL TOURNAMENT 
CENTRAL COLLEGE (Non-decision)
ST. LOUIS DEBATE TOUR

Bill and Steve Shinn, who have been teamed together 
for a major portion of three years, ended their debating 
career for the college with more than two-thirds of 
their sixty debates being victories.

Paul Andereck and Royal Miller received top rating in 
the senior division in this year's state tournament and 
have completed their second year of intercollegiate debating 
with a better than two-thirds average in more than forty 
contests. Miller and Andereck won the prize money in the 
Regents Award Tournament in January.

Mary Shirley and Nancy Hanks won the highest rating in 
the junior college division of the state tournament. 
Mary Shirley started her intercollegiate career in that 
tournament with four wins and no losses Nancy Hanks will 
be starting her third year as a squad member in September.

Mr. Collins, debate coach, was contest chairman for 
the state and national tournaments.

Band

The sounds coming from Recital Hall every afternoon are one 
reason why the band is well known. The outstanding performances 
given by the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College concert 
and marching band are another. Directed by Mr. Paul Strub, the 
fifty-five-piece band played at football games, basketball games, 
and parades. The band skit at the carnival will be remembered as 
one of the most humorous. The tour of this area made between the 
winter and spring quarters gave approximately 10,000 people an 
opportunity to hear the band perform.

The band is organized with student-elected officers. Besides 
spending many hours in rehearsals and giving frequent performances, 
band members find time to sponsor an occasional Open House and 
quite a few social meetings for members.
 

(Page 85)

This is what it takes to make a great band. Long hours 
of diligent practice. Of course, morale is helped if you 
have good-looking gals to handle the batons. Recital 
Hall is the home of the band.

Basketball

The 1948-49 basketball season found the Bulldog cagers badly 
weakened from the loss of several valuable players; among them 
Big Harry Gallatin, John Semanek, and Ralph Pink. Replacements 
were moved up, but the team still wasn't its old self from loss of 
considerable height. To compensate for this, Coach Boyd King worked 
the club into a faster-moving team with Erzen and Shearer as his 
spark-plug guards.

The Teachers battled their way to sixteen wins, while sprinkling 
only eleven losses over the season. Although not as impressive as 
in the two preceding years, the Bulldogs have added another 
successful season to their list.

After losing four conference games, the K. S. T. C. cagers took 
their last three in a row to finish third in the M. I. A. A. Conference. 
Springfield led the loop with Warrensburg second. Cape Girardeau fell just 
below the Bulldogs, then Maryville, and the Rolla Miners trailed the pack. 
The 'Dogs, however, led the conference scoring with 532 points, Cape a 
close second with 526, and the Champion Bears fell third with only 450.

As the season progressed, new talent began to show up among the 
Bulldog subs. Earl Perry and Don Thompson no doubt will see much service 
next season, and "Big-Red" Nichols showed, in the last few games, his 
ability to tally up points. So the 'Dogs, while losing Dodd, Erzen, Lewis, 
and Shearer, are accumulating replacements for the coming year.

Front row, left to right: Bob Dant, Glen Piland, Floyd Shearer,

*Games played in Terre Haute Tournament.

Mid-West Tournament

The close of '48 and opening of '49 found the Bulldog Quintet 
fighting for a place in the Mid-West Invitational 
Tournament at Terre Haute, Indiana.

Arizona State of Flagstaff was the first Bulldog foe. 
The home cagers took a quick lead and led at the half, 
32 to 12. Paced by "Pookie" Shearer, with 14 points, the 
'Dogs came through with a decisive 47-37 victory. This team 
had eliminated the K. S. T. C. cagers from the 1947 
N. A. I. B. Tournament in Kansas City.

In the second tilt the 'Dogs took on the Teachers College 
of Connecticut from New Britain, Connects cut. Again they sprung 
quickly into the lead and held a comfortable 34-18 margin at 
the close of the first period. Perry and Lewis each hit the 
net for 14 points in pacing the Bulldogs to a 65-52 victory.

Moving into the finals the Kirksville cagers met the host 
team, Indiana State. The Bulldog defense, which had been so 
outstanding in the preceding games, was shattered as the Indiana 
Cagers outscored the 'Dogs by 19 points, 62 to 43.

This was the second consecutive year in which the Bulldogs 
took second place in this tourney. On both occasions they 
dropped their final game to the host team.

Track

Front row: Cates, Stigall, Horton, Sparks. Back row: DeLaPorte, 
Roodhouse, Thrasher, Shelton, Walker, Luckhardt, Coach Dougherty.

The K. S. T. C. track squad, under the supervision of 
Coach James Dougherty, entered seven meets in 1948. Five of these 
were dual meets and the other two were M. I. A. A. 
Conference competition.

In the M. I. A. A. Indoor Meet the Bulldog cinder men came 
in fourth but later in the season at the M. I. A. A. Outdoor Events 
the home squad moved up to third place.

The dual meets found the track and field men coming out on 
the short end four times, while taking the limelight only once.

The Bulldogs bowed to the Missouri Valley Vikings, 81 to 56 
at their first meeting and managed to accumulate only 35 points 
to the Vikings 77 at a return engagement.

In their engagements with Maryville and Central the 'Dogs 
fell less heavily. Maryville piled up 74 points to 62 for the 
home squad, while Central won by the small margin of 70 to 65.

The Teachers' lone victory came when they met Culver-Stockton. 
An inspired Bulldog squad put out all they had to pile up 105 points, 
allowing their weak opponents only 31.

Intramurals

A well-rounded program of intramural athletics provided many 
students with an outlet for their leisure time during the 
'48-49 college season.

The volley-ball tournament, conducted in the fall, ended in 
a tie between McGrew's team and the Sig Taus, with the Phi Sigs 
placing third.

The men s round-robin basketball tourney also ended in a 
tie, this time between the Unco-ordinates and the Phi Sigs. The 
Unco-ordinates took the play-off, placing the Phi Sigs second 
and the Wildcats finished third. In the girl's single elimination 
tournament Stewart's Sinkers led a large field to capture 
the championship.

Boxing made its bid for a place on the campus this year with 
several boys entering the Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions. 
Kenny Rehg and Bruce Mason climbed to the top to be crowned at 
the St. Louis Arena along with twenty-six other champions.

Many other sports were entered into on a smaller scale, but 
these, too, went into the making of a good intramurals program.

Index

Newswriters during the fall quarter.

"Deadline is Tuesday" . . . "Read that proof" . . . "Where 
are those cuts? . . . How many ads?" . . . were the sounds heard 
from the Index room to the Graphic Printing Office each week as 
the Newswriting class, sponsored by Miss Agnes Slemons, fought 
the battle of the deadlines.

Beats were run, articles written, pictures taken, copy batted 
out at the last minute, filler hunted with frenzy, and the paper 
managed to appear nine times per quarter as scheduled.

The staff for the summer quarter was Joe Baughman, Joe Goeke, 
Francis Hellner, Wanda Smock, Emory Cloud, James Butler and Nick Spase.

The Editor and Staff system was inaugurated during the fall 
quarter with the hard job falling to Joe Goeke, Greentop. The 
other members of the staff were Robert Conner, Jack Duke, 
Charles Fugate, Carol Funk, Carl Luse, Max Powell, Carolyn Pulliam, 
Roy Lessly, Willa Wilcoxon, John Gibbs; Sue Ward, Irvin Winthrop 
and James McCollom.

During the winter quarter Max Powell was elected editor. Staff 
members were Robert McCollom, Kenneth Farthing, Warren Hamilton, 
"Babe" Poston, Stan Serwatka, Floyd Shearer, Lois Field, 
Robert Connor, Jack Duke, Bob Dant, Charles Fugate, John Gibbs, 
Richard Lee, Carl Luse, Carolyn Pulliam, and Dorothy Stuart.

The spring class was represented by John Goeke, Beverly Black, 
Ruth Milhoan, Bill Richmond, Gil Demry, Warren Hamilton, 
George Deason and Gus Kumm. Charles Fugate, Memphis, was 
elected editor.

The largest paper of the year was the Homecoming Edition, 
October 29. This issue was composed of ten pages complete with 
pictures of queens, players, coaches and yell leaders.

Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities

For representation in the publication of "Who's Who in American Colleges 
and Universities," for 1949, fourteen students from this college were 
chosen. Recognition in the publication means that the student was first 
officially recommended by the college he attends and then accepted by 
the organization. Each student who becomes a member receives, without 
cost, a certificate of recognition awarded by the organization and 
presented at the school, recognition in the annual publication for 
the year during which he was selected in the form of a write-up of his 
college and personal record and a listing in the index under the 
college from which he was nominated.

Opera

a rehearsal.

The major presentation of the preceding year was the 
opera, "Martha," under the direction of Miss Phradie Wells, 
of the music department. Supported by the college orchestra 
and chorus and with a talented cast, the opera was 
well received.

This year the operatic highlight was the presentation of 
the Gilbert and Sullivan Opera, "The Pirates of Penzance." 
Again Miss Wells was the director and a fine performance was 
given. In the leading roles were: Major Stanley, Stephen Melvin; 
the Pirate King, Harold Holtmeyer; Samuel, Raymond Goeke; Frederick, 
Robert Sloan; Sergeant of Police, Fred Hanes; Mable, Jean Leach; 
Edith, Marilynn Lambdin; Kate, Emilene Lehr; Isabel, Ann Beatty; 
and Ruth, Norma Shearer.

Orchestra

The 40-piece Teachers College orchestra, under the baton of 
Karl E. Webb, presented its first concert of the year, 
December 10, 1948, in Kirk Auditorium. Coupled with the fine 
technical and interpretative presentation of the musical 
scores, the orchestra pleased the audience with its stage 
performance. Showing evidence of fine musicianship and many 
hours of rehearsal on their numbers, the orchestra presented 
a well-chosen variety of music. Presented were selections by 
Bach, Hayden, Bizet, Sibelius, and Beethoven. For the first 
time the orchestra was in formal attire and this added to the 
polished performance of the evening.

A Cappella Choir

The A Cappella Choir, under the direction of Miss Phradie Wells, 
has presented many fine numbers this year.

The Echo

The Book

When yearbook planning time came around last fall, it found 
that the ECHO was in bad shape for planners. The supposed editor, 
Ercil Ewing, had graduated. Assistant Editor John Goeke, Business 
Manager Ollin Drennan and Baxter Stinson, his assistant, had to 
plan the book and to start putting the production together. When 
Ollin graduated at the end of the fall quarter the two assistants 
and their newly formed staff buckled down and began to fight picture 
lists and appointments at the photographers, got the student formal 
pictures taken, a lot of activities ready and were just getting into 
the swing of engraving copy at Christmas time. After the vacation 
Alexander's Studio had the student pictures ready and the mess in 
110 Kirk Auditorium got deeper and deeper as the staff spent all 
its time mounting pictures, marking engraving instructions and 
packaging copy. By February 10 all the engraving was being made and 
well ahead of schedule, too. In fact, the ECHO was the first book to 
have all its engraving to the engravers. The fight for copy began 
and was won by the staff on March 14 just a month later. The book is 
in on time. Any omissions or errors can be said to be sacrificed 
on the altar of deadline.
 

(Page 103)

The Echo

The Staff

Kenneth C. Sykes, ECHO advisor and photographer, drew the job 
of advising an almost inexperienced staff through the job of getting 
a book to press. His camera and darkroom work is good enough to 
make any editor's job easier.

Heading the staff because of graduation of Ercil Ewing is 
John E. Goeke, junior student from Greentop, with one year's 
experience on the Echo staff.

The Business Manager's job was taken by Baxter Stinson, Independence, 
when Ollin Drennan graduated and left that job open. Baxter had valuable 
experience with his High School annual.

David Janson, Excelsior Springs, brought his talents to work for 
the ECHO. Besides being a talented artist, he could do an ultra fine 
job of layout and mounting work. A novice at this type of yearbook 
architecture, Dave caught on rapidly and did fine work.

Another Freshman, Fred Hanes, Kirksville, brought some valuable 
experience from his position on the Kirksville "Tiger" last year. Fred 
put in a lot of time on the ECHO along with several other time-consuming jobs.

Now that we have taken care of the men on the staff we can move over 
to the more interesting and more attractive female section. To lead the 
list on this side is Nadean Farmer. In between working as Secretary to 
Mr. Sykes, and studying, Nadean typed reams of picture lists, answered 
countless letters and helped immensely.

Betty Finger, Senior transfer student from Webster Groves, added 
another experienced head to the huddle of ECHO planners. Staff member 
of the "Hatchet," Washington U. annual, Betty took to the ECHO like a 
duck to water and worked long and hard.

Last but not least of the Echoites is Elizabeth Roy, senior student 
from Kirksville. "Liz" decided she needed yearbook experience to teach 
English so she went to work to help beat deadlines and get the book 
out on time.

Miss Cornelia Otis Skinner

Miss Cornelia Otis Skinner chose Francis Dant as 
King of the Echo during an interview with Editor Goeke 
in Moberly. Miss Skinner came to Moberly to give a 
program of dramatic monologues and very graciously 
consented to act as judge. She expressed concern with 
the difficulty in making a choice but finally picked 
up Francis Dant's picture, turned it over and wrote, 
"This is the King," on the back of it.

Mr. John E. Goeke 
Editor, 1949 "Echo"
501 North Elson 
Kirksville, Missouri

Dear Mr. Goeke:

It has been a great pleasure to select the queen for your beauty section in your annual, 
"Echo". The photographs of the candidates, which you submitted, were all so attractive 
that I found it difficult to make my selection without seeing and talking to each 
contestant

The winner, Gene Bowen, was selected on the basis of personality, character, and 
intelligence, as well as for natural beauty My choice was influenced, of course, by my 
great interest in and admiration for the Natural Girl.

If the contestants are ever in New York, it would be a pleasure to meet them. With best 
wishes to the contestants, to the staff of the "Echo" and to the students of NORTHEAST 
MISSOURI STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, I am
Sincerely yours,
John Robert Powers

James Harvey Neville

The entire campus was shocked and saddened on the morning of February 18 
when James Harvey Neville, 53, a member of the faculty of the Division of 
Social Science, died suddenly in his classroom in Pickier Memorial Library. 
Mr. Neville, who apparently had not been in ill health, was waiting for the 
8 o'clock bell to start his class when he suffered a heart attack. Death 
was a few moments later.

Mr. Neville had a great personality and a thorough knowledge of his field 
which made him one of the most universally liked and respected persons on the 
campus. His genuine interest in his students, his intense interest in seeing 
them succeed and his fine teaching ability caused students to flock into his 
classes, one of the finest recommendations a teacher can have.

Although Mr. Neville had been a member of the Teachers College faculty 
only since 1947, he had been in public school work for many years. He became 
principal of the Kirksville High School in 1924 and Superintendent of Public 
Schools of Kirksville in 1925, serving in that position until 1947 when he 
resigned to become a member of the college faculty.

Mr. Neville had served in two wars. During World War I he served with 
the 41st Artillery, 44th Brigade, as a Second Lieutenant. During World War 
II he was a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy.

Born December 30, 1895, in Springfield, Missouri, Mr. Neville was a 
graduate of the Springfield High School, attended Drury College, Southwest 
Missouri State Teachers College, George Washington University Law School, 
the Teachers College at Columbia University, the University of Missouri and 
had done extensive work toward his Ph.D. Degree at the University of Chicago.

Mr. Neville is survived by his wife

Jacob Wilhelm Heyd

Jacob Wilhelm Heyd, who had been a member of the faculty of 
the college from 1915 until 1948, died at a hospital in Kirksville 
on the afternoon of January 27, 1949. Mr. Heyd was head of the 
Division of Languages and Literature from 1931 until his 
retirement at the end of the spring quarter 1948. Mr. Heyd was 
exceptionally well liked by students and faculty members due 
to his gentle disposition, his kindliness and his teaching 
abilities.

He was the author of "Anfanger Duetsch," a German textbook 
which he used in his beginning German classes, as well as many 
bulletins and translations. He served for many years as the 
faculty sponsor of the Student Council and as sponsor of 
other student groups.

Mr. Heyd was born January 8, 1875, in Kirksville, 
Missouri. He is survived by his wife.
