(Page 7) FOREWORD Through the cooperation of students, faculty, administration, and organizations, the staff of the Echo once more brings the annual yearbook to the student body. We hope that through its pages will be portrayed the real work and aims of leaders and teachers in a nation maintained, trained, and educated for democracy. (Page 8) DEDICATION The Echo of 1936-37 is dedicated to one who comes in personal contact with more students of the Teachers College each day than any other individual on the campus MRS. EDNA M.

The photographer has caught these activities during September, October and November. Cavanah boots a high one with Miller’s assistance. Alexander snags a high pass. The study hall seems to be an attractive spot and some days students look down from Science Hall. (Page 14) Inside Chrystal grades Guidance Bureau tests and Eddie talks with Europe or Asia. Students hurry away from classes at noon and the Phi Sigs challenge the Miners. Enrollment day starts things off and the nice fall days make it (Page 15) Another year is almost gone Trod its paths were by sprightly feet. Youths’ minds intent to work and play And sing the songs of joy which ne’er grow old. Recorded are the smiles and looks in this our book, Its pages light the memories of days gone by, And shall remind us of first faltering steps, and slow, But with momentum gained, began to climb Ascending with those who love children, Taking them by the hand, saluting sunrise and the morning dew, Protection from on rushing storm and clouds. Children do we serve and love, who make this book. Eugene Fair. (Page 16) The daily news of the educational world always contains reference to many activities and movements that Dr. Kirk has originated and supported in this school. Physical Education, Public Health, a dozen others, can be named. Never afraid of criticisms he has always pursued the way of progress and has been often rewarded by seeing the results of his work widely adopted. Last November at the State Teachers Meeting he was named as one of the outstanding contributors to American Education. (Page 17) James A. Cooley W. A. Cable Roland A. Zeigel Lloyd W.

The squad was built up and before the season was completed a championship team was developed. Alexander, Post, Cavanah, Miller The Line (Page 39) Landrum Sirakas Mustion King The opener for the 1936 season was a game with the Missouri U. “B" team on October 7. The Bulldogs came through with a victory of 13-8. A week later the Bulldogs took a trip to Pittsburg, Kansas, where they defeated the Pitt Gorillas 14-0 and rounded off their non-conference competition for the year. Conference play for the Bulldogs started on October 16, with a home game against the Springfield Bears, which the Bulldogs won to the tune of 13-2. Kirksville travels to Cape Girardeau on the week end of October 23 and returned with a 6-0 victory after a hard fought battle with the Indians. Huston Friez Moody Yaskiew (Page 40) Walden Parson Jacobs Schwengels When Rolla visited Kirksville on October 30, the Miners showed the Bulldogs a good scrap but lost 13-12. The string of victories continued to stay unbroken the following Friday evening when the Maryville Bearcats were defeated 7-0. The Championship game was played on the superstitious night of Friday, Nobember 13th, against the Warrensburg Mules. After what proved the toughest and most interesting game of the year, the Bulldogs returned home undefeated for the night, by a victory of 13-7, and undefeated lor 1936 with seven victories and no losses.

Though small in size it has its share of campus tradition. Gail sells another book and Dr. Rieger lectures on organic chemistry while Joseph Baldwin looks over the campus of the school he founded. The photographer finds Vic in his office. Science Hall empties itself at noon. (Page 56) Coach Faurot faces the wintry blasts protected by his ear-muffs.

(Page 68) The Little Theater Thirteen years a Model Rural School and seventeen years a Little Theater, the small wooden structure designed by President-emeritus John R. Kirk was devastated by fire February 18, 1937. In 1920 the building was turned over to Mr. C. M. Wise, then head of the speech work in the Teachers College. Professor Clifton Cornwell, speech teacher, played in the first plays given there. Through all the seventeen years that the building served as a theater, the student actors and directors were governed by a few fundamental principles. They are: the desire to share with others the beauty that the players find in dramatic literature; there are no small parts in plays; there is no great art without sacrifice, honesty, earnestness and punctuality are necessary for any dramatic production that intends to make a claim to being art. The Little Theater seated only about 80 persons, and students crowded it for two performances each evening a program was given there. Probably one of the most outstanding things about this place is the fact that the first high school plays contests in the world originated there. Students trained in the Little Theater go out into the Northeast Missouri District, train high school students in dramatics, and each spring bring one-act plays to the Teachers College campus and present them (Page 69) BASKETBALL Geo. H. Wells, Director of Athletics After a sixteen year record as coach, athletic instructor, camp supervisor for boys, and scout executive, Dr. George Wells is completing his second year as athletic director at Kirksville. He began coaching in the ranks of professional football with the Minneapolis Bears in 1920. In 1924 he received his Bachelor’s Degree from the Pittsburg Teachers College in Kansas. During 1920-27 he was assistant physical education director at Iowa City. He served as head of many boys camps and later was accredited with a Doctor’s degree from the University of Iowa in 1934. As Athletic Director he is the backfield coach in football, head basketball and baseball coach and physical education instructor.

Starting with a small group of music lovers that met weekly for the purpose of studying the masterpieces of orchestral music it has rapidly grown to its present membership of fifty. While its primary purpose is still to afford its members the opportunity to become familiar with orchestral literature and to acquire experience in symphonic playing, the orchestra gives annual public concerts and cooperates with the vocal forces of the school and community in productions of the standard operas and oratorios.
