Asleep in dreams, awake, alert; I see you in the morn of life, Unafraid, modest; silenced, it may be, By hosts of inner conflicting thoughts Which have not as yet fused themselves Into one bright gleam, creation's light. Yet so firm you stand, so lofty your hopes for child and youth, You will not falter when they come to you, Bearing, in outstretched hands, rich gifts in questions. No! Rather will you bless the day as one suffused with joy. Thinking, acting together, you are revealed, In gratitude and love, leader and teacher, Opening up doors of life, past, now, beyond; So linking youth and age that they as one Exclaim, "Behold, here is a benefactor and friend." Sincerely, Eugene Fair. (Page 21) Dr. Eugene Fair President (Page 22) Louis A. Eubank Dean of the Faculty and Head of the Division of Education B. S., Warrensburg, Mo.; A.

Heyd Sponsor Student Council THE Student Council is the organization of the Student Body for the purpose of strong self-government and for the correlation of student activities. This year the Council co-operated with the administration in assisting freshmen to become readily oriented to college life. The freshmen, according to restrictions of the Student Council, wore purple and white caps and handkerchiefs. 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 Year Book, and entitles him to the services of the Committee on Recommendations, to health service and a health certificate. The Student Council has, at all times, final decision in the expenditure of the money gained from these fees. Student Government in K. S. T. C. has become a permanent feature in the conduct of the school in many other ways and is continuing to grow in scope and efficiency.

They were awarded K sweaters for their victory over their conference opponents. During the summer term Bigsby and Wells defeated the Maryville tennis team in two dual matches, one in Kirksville and one in Maryville. Both of these boys will be back next year and Kirksville should make another good showing in the Conference Tennis Tournament.

Review of Football Season The Football season started off with the opening of school and fourteen letter men and several promising new men reported for practice. Coaches Faurot and Simpson were well pleased with the quality of the squad which totaled about fifty in all. The first game was a week earlier than usual so the team had only two weeks practice before the Central College game on September 28. The day was cold with a wet field and a downpour of rain. The Bulldogs did themselves proud by outgoing the Eagles about four yards to one, but could only score once to beat them 6 to 0. The second game was with Chillicothe Business College at Chillicothe, and the Bulldogs ran over them to a 27 to 0 score, and the second team got lots of experience. (Page 101) Fred Faurot, Halfback, Mountain Grove.--Fritz is Coach Faurot's brother, and played his first year on the squad the last fall. He turned out to be a valuable man, both in interference and carrying the ball. He seemed shine in mud, due to his powerful drive. Orval Craig, Captain, Kirksville.--Aggie was all-conference end for three years, and a great leader for the Bulldogs this year. He was outstanding lineman in the M. I. A. A. He is a Kirksville boy, and everyone regrets that his competition is over. Aggie has been a true sportsman. James Streeter, Halfback, Unionville.--Jim just finished four years of competition, and placed on the last three M. I. A. A. all-conference teams. He is a ball carrier of no mean ability and the opposition was never able to stop his off-tackle drives. Streeter was already set a record of 11 letters in K.S.T.C., and since he is captain of the track team, he should have his twelfth. The next game was with Penn College and the Bulldogs rampaged through the Oskaloosa team for 60 points, holding them scoreless. Streeter, Green and Dougherty all did some exceptional ball lugging and tore through the Penn forward wall at will. Then came the first conference game and the Bulldogs met a most worthy foe in Warrensburg at Warrensburg. The Bulldogs out battled the Mules and emerged with the long end of a 13 to 7 score, only after Jimmy Turner had thrown a pass to Protiva for a score, and a similar one, to Captain O. Craig, for another one. Warrensburg scored on a long pass. (Page 102) Basil Kelley, Center, Willow Springs.--Kelley started the season at third string center, but when Downing was ruled ineligible, and Cochran was injured, Kelley stepped in and played regular center in the Parsons, Emporia, Cape, and Maryville games. Edward Adams, Guard, Mexico.--Ed played four straight at the guard position and was an all conference man his l ast year. He was a steady worker and an effective man. He weighed only 170, but was always there in the pinches. Howard Protiva, Quarter-back, Willow Springs.--Bud, who is captain-elect for the 1929 season, played his third year for the Bulldogs. He is a heady signal caller, and a team man, playing several games and never carrying the ball himself. He placed on the second all-conference team. The Bulldogs met their first defeat of the year and their first defeat on Kirk field in four years when the Westminster Blue Jays splashed and mud-crawled their way to a 7 to 0 victory on a rain-soaked gridiron. The Westminster team out-weighed the Bulldogs about fifteen pounds to the man, and the heavier team had the advantage, scoring late in the fourth quarter, after a scoreless battle through three quarters. Bud Protiva, regular quarterback, and Fred Faurot, halfback, were injured and were unable to take part. The next game was with the Springfield Teachers, who were undefeated so far in the season, and came to Kirksville with a goodly group of rooters to take home the bacon. The field was again rain-soaked and the game was played in a heavy down-pour of rain. (Page 103) Samuel Curtright, End, Centralia.--Curtright made his first letter this year. He was out last year, but due to lack of experience did not make his letter. "Abie " has two more years, and will be a valuable man in the line for the Bulldogs. Trusten McArtor, Guard, New Boston.--Trusten was one of the best in the line, and could always be counted on to hit in the pinches. He was selected on one of the all-conference teams and deserved to be on all of them. Mac has two years left, watch his smoke. Carroll Cochran, Center, Green City.--Cochran was playing a stellar game at center when he received a dislocated collar-bone in the first quarter of the Parsons game. He had performed like a veteran in the Warrensburg and Springfield games. Carroll has two more years, and lots will be heard of him in the future The Bulldogs outplayed the Bears all the way through, making ten first downs to their two, but could not push over a score and the game ended 0 to 0. Streeter and Faurot did some fine line-plunging while Fuerst, Protiva and Beavens ran some splendid interference for them. The whole team performed well in spite of the mud. The Bulldogs then journeyed to Fairfield, Iowa, for a game with Parsons College. They got away to a bad start, and Parsons pushed over two touchdowns before the Kirksville offense got under way. Jimmy Turner was inserted and soon threw a short pass to Fritz Faurot who raced about fifty yards before he was caught. Turner then completed a (Page 104) James Ator, End, La Plata.--Ator played his first year on the team last fall, and filled the end position like a veteran. He has three more years to play, and should be heard of in future Bulldog games. Fred Schwengel, Tackle, Sheffield, Iowa.--Fred had never played football before coming to K. S. T. C., but picked up the game in rapid fashion, winning a letter both years here. He was the biggest man on the squad, and was a power in the line. He has two more years, and will try out for fullback next year. James Turner, Halfback, Columbia. -- "Jimmie" has one more year, and if his bad knee doesn't bother him, next year the Bulldogs will have the best forward-passer in Missouri. Turner saved several games last season by his passing ability, but due to his twisted knee, he played only a short time in a game. couple of passes to Captain O. Craig, who stepped over the goal for the first score. The half ended 13 to 6 with Parsons leading. The half started with Kirksville receiving the kick off, and after a play or two Streeter broke through the Parsons defense for a long run and a score putting the Bulldogs ahead 14 to 13. From then on the Bulldogs had things their own way. J. Turner passed to O. Craig for another touchdown, and then threw one to Streeter for another. The Bulldogs ripped off several long gains, and Cristy Turner passed to Cottle, who raced across the goal line, and the game ended 33 to 13. (Page 105) James Cottle, Halfback, Columbia.--Jim was our pinch hitter, not being able to play long in any game, but while he was in there he played a good game. Cottle was a good ball carrier, punter, and passer, as well as a very good placekicker. Cottle will be missed next year. Winston Baltzell, Tackle, La Belle.--Baltzell landed a berth on the all conference team at tackle, and was one of the light men in the line He was 163 pounds of fight and aggressiveness. Baltzell has played three years and has a big year left. James Craig, Guard, Kirksville.--Jimmie made his first letter this year, and proved to be a real battler at his position. He was light, but made that up in fight and brains. The Bulldogs then underwent a hectic trip to Kansas City, through a flood, to meet the strong Emporia Teachers from Kansas. Since the team drove from Kirksville in the bus and cars, they were scattered all along the way and had to stay all night at various places, and did not arrive in Kansas City until an hour or so before the game. It was an interesting game despite the flooded field and muddy ball, but the Bulldogs went down to an 8 to 0 defeat. The Emporia score came after a fumble on our own 20-yard line. The Bulldogs outgained the Emporians making 11 first downs to their 9, but lacked the necessary punch to put the ball across for a score when they had the ball inside (Page 106) Fred Green, Halfback Kirksville.--Freddie was one of the shiftiest runners on the field. Due to injuries, Freddie was not at his best until the latter of the season. Remember the Maryville game. They just couldn't stop him. Fred has three more years. Albert Fuerst, Fullback Mountain Grove. -- Fuerst played his third and last year on the Bulldog squad the past season, and during that time was twice put on the all-conference team as fullback. Fuerst played freshman football at M. U., in 1925, which counted a full year of competition. His long suit was running interference and he was responsible for most of the gains the ball carrier made. Christie Turner, Halfback, Columbia. -- Jimmie's little brother in age but not in weight. Christie was an all-round man, playing center in several games, and in the backfield Christie has three more years, and of course we expect him to fill his brother's shoes. the 10 yard line on two different occasions. The next game was a conference affair with Cape Girardeau, at that city, and the Bulldogs easily won 13 to 0, scoring a touch down early in the first half and another early in the second. Coach Faurot used practically a second team against them most of the time, saving his regulars for the Maryville game here Thanksgiving day. That Maryville game was a real one. Although played in the rain and on a muddy field, the Kirksville team showed more power than it had all season. Fred Faurot, Jim Streeter and Fred Green ripped off consistent gains through the big Maryville forward wall and had scored 21 points before (Page 107) Gus Beavens, Fullback. Kirksville.--Gus played his second year for the Bulldogs in this position. Not being a big man, Gus made up for his size in fight. As an interference man Gus was one of the best on the Bulldog squad. He has two more years. James Dougherty, Halfback, Hannibal, Mo.--Dougherty played his first year for the Bulldogs, and by his performances last year, with three more years to go, "Jim" will make one of the best ball carriers K. S. T. C. has ever had. Clarence Murphy, Tackle, Slater.--Murphy played his first year like a veteran, and worked in at both guard and tackle. He was one of the best freshmen on the squad, and lots will be heard of him in the future. the game was twenty minutes old. The game finally finished 33 to 7, as Maryville scored on an intercepted pass late in the game. The Kirksville line refused to give an inch. The Bulldogs finished the season with eight victories and two defeats, and tied for the M. I. A. A. Conference Championship with Springfield. The Bulldogs did not lose a conference game, and have lost but one in the last three years. Springfield had a similar record and both teams were Co-champions. Men who did not play quite enough time to make a letter but deserve mention are: E. Hatcher, R. Smith, H. Hem, W. Downing, F. Neale, W. Ketchum, T. Payne.

Coach Faurot soon divided the men into the Varsity and second squads. Fifteen men were chosen to compose the Varsity squad during the season. Of these seven were letter men from previous years and were: Captain Albert Fuerst, O. Craig, Harold Protiva, James Streeter, Frank Bigsby, Claude Eggert and Arlys Wells. The other men who made the squad were: Robert Vaught, Fred Faurot, Robert Smith, James Dougherty, Trusten McArtor, Grant and Veron Howard. This year Coach Faurot scheduled a three game trip just before Christmas which took the boys to Chillicothe, Kansas City, and St. Joseph for the first games. At Chillicothe a starting line-up of Protiva, Streeter, Smith, O. Craig, and Faurot, disposed of the Ducks 38 to 25. Bigsby, regular center, was sick and could not play. The next (Page 111) Harold Protiva, Forward, and second high scorer on the squad, is captain of the football team for next year. Bud hails from Willow Springs, and has one more year of competition. Captain Albert Fuerst comes to us from Mountain Grove, Mo., where he was a star in all three sports, He has just finished his third and last year on the basketball squad, as he had one year of competition on the M. U. freshman team. He is 6 feet two, and is a real defensive guard. Orval Craig, an all conference guard the past three years, has been one of the greatest athletes our school has ever known. He is a Kirksville boy, having played on the H. S. team before going to college. Aggie has made four letters in basketball and four in football, and has starred in both. night they lost a hard fought game, 20 to 18, to the Kansas City Life team who were city champions of that city. At St. Joseph they trimmed the Junior College team 24 to 9 in one of the best games they played all season. After a good rest over the Christmas holidays Cape Girardeau came here for a two game series which the Bulldogs won 48 to 34, and 42 to 30. The next two games were at Cape Girardeau and the Bulldogs again made a clean sweep of the series winning the opener 46 to 29, and the second 36 to 21. These four games put the Bulldogs out ahead in the Conference race. The next two games brought the Warrensburg Mules here for an exciting series. The Kirksville boys had things their own way the first game and won easily 39 to 26, Bigsby scoring six field goals. The second game showed a reversal of form and Warrensburg won 43 to 39 in a hard fought contest. O. Craig was the star of this fray with four field goals. The next week end the Bulldogs took a four game trip to Warrensburg and Springfield. They won the first night at Warrensburg 41 to 30 and Bigsby, Protiva, and Smith each scored five baskets. The Mules again took the (Page 112) Claude Eggert, guard, is playing his third season on the Bulldog squad. He came from Kirksville, and has one more year of competition. Robert Vaught, forward, comes to us from Westminster College, where he lettered in basketball last year. He is an accurate shot, and should be one of the high scorers on the team next year. James Streeter, forward. Jim is a Kirksville boy, but competed in athletics at Unionville High School. He has made four letters in football, four in basketball, and should make his fourth in track. This will be a record for letters made in K. S. T. C. second game of the series 49 to 25. At Springfield the Bulldogs were playing in good form the first night and easily won 34 to 27, Bigsby scoring eight field goals and Smith five, Captain Fuerst and O. Craig playing a stellar game on defense. The second night found the Bulldogs playing a loose game which they lost 29 to 11. The next games were two with the Cook Painter Boys of Kansas City who were national champions last year and this year, winning the National Tournament each year. The first night the Bulldogs played Bang-up basketball, the game ending in a tie at 36 all. But the Cook Painter boys won in the play-off, O. Craig, Bigsby, and Smith doing most of the scoring. The second night Gordon, Cook guard, went on a scoring spree sinking 11 field goals and the Bulldogs were defeated again 61 to 34. The Bulldogs now were in first place in the Conference with seven games won and three lost. The trip to Maryville proved disastrous to the Bulldogs' title hopes, as they lost both games there 28 to 32 and 27 to 36. The team seemed to go slow after the hard Cook games. They rallied for the first Springfield game winning 35 to 31, (Page 113) Fred Faurot plays a good guard position and was a very dependable player. He comes from Mountain Grove. Robert Smith, forward, a 6 feet 5 lad. He turned out to be the third high scorer on the team and was valuable at the tip-off position for the Bulldogs. Frank Bigsby, Captain-elect for next year's team, has just finished his second year on the Bulldog squad. He was high scorer of the team, counting 163 points for the season. Puncho is a Kirksville boy, and weighs 190. He is 6 feet 2. O. Craig being the star with five field goals. The second night the Bulldogs jumped into a 19 to 2 lead only to see it slowly crumble away and were finally defeated 26 to 36. The last two games were with Maryville here and our title chances were lost. They lost the first game 39 to 30. The second night the Bulldogs won 42 to 33 over the M.I.A.A. Championship Bearcats, and Bigsby and Vaught came through with five baskets each. The Conference race was so close that had the Bulldogs won one more game from Maryville they would have tied for the Conference Championship but as it stood they were fourth with Warrensburg and Springfield tied for second and third places. Nine men were awarded letters and sweaters by the Committee on Athletics. The letter men elected Frank Bigsby, who was high scoresman on the team, next year's Captain. The men awarded letters were: Captain Albert Fuerst, Captain-elect Frank Bigsby, O. Craig, Bud Protiva, Bob Vaught, Claude Eggert, Tames Streeter, Robert Smith and Fred Faurot.

The girl's team, consisting of Verna Thompson and Pearl Osborn, although losing two contests to William Woods, gave a very good account of itself against such experienced debaters. The men's squad is composed of Paul Bissell, Lloyd Weldon, and Forest Neale, debating the affirmative, and Byron Cosby, Jr., and Robert Jones, debating the negative. The question used for the entire year among the colleges in this section was, "Resolved that a substitute for trial by jury should be adopted." The debate squad this year was unusually successful, losing only three out of eight debates engaged in. At the close of the season Mr. Reger will take his debaters to Cape Girardeau, where they will participate in the state tournament.

The School of Nursing is accredited by the Missouri State Board of Nurse Examiners. The students must be High School graduates between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five, and applicants are chosen from those who rank in the middle or upper third in their classes in High School.

The practical and clinical experience is obtained at the Grim-Smith Hospital, and at the School of Nursing of Washington University, St. Louis, Mo., with which this school is affiliated. The student receives her room, board, and laundry throughout the course, and while in Kirksville resides at the Nurses Home, a modern, colonial brick structure, separate from the Hospital, where attractive, comfortable surroundings tend to promote good health and contentment. After preliminary term the student receives an allowance of fifteen dollars per month while on duty at the Grim-Smith Hospital. Graduates are given a diploma of "Graduate Nurse" by the State Teachers College, and all graduates have passed the examination conducted by the State Board of Nurse Examiners, the average grade so far having been 90.8 per cent.

In the sixteen years following its organization, it was several times called into active service for police duty, by the Governor of the State of Missouri. The company was called to the Mexican border in 1916, and remained there for eight months. The next year it was called into Federal service, and was trained for overseas duty. It became a member of the 138th Infantry, which was composed of national guardsmen from Kansas and Missouri. The company was in Europe for eighteen months before the armistice was signed. On the border and in France the company distinguished itself. The company was mustered out in 1920. For two years there was no company. It was reorganized in 1922 as Company "C," of the 138th. The next year it was changed to company "K", of the same infantry. In 1925 the company became almost entirely composed of Teachers College men, and so it has remained. The company offers recreation, education, and pay to college boys who are interested.

SOMEONE has said that the age to begin to dance is the age you happen to be. We think this is a pretty good motto, and so we banded together as a club, under the direction of Miss Burrow, to learn just how to dance. Our specialty this year has been tap dancing. We bought taps for our shoes, thus making the sounds clear-cut and more rhythmical. Before Christmas we gave Santa Claus Christmas Party" as an assembly program. This was a clever play in dance form. Children from various countries and many toys and dolls made merry with their own special dances.

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 two 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. (Page 164) Echo Staff Julia Garth, Editor-in-Chief WE hope you like your Echo. We have striven to make it one which you will be proud of as a souvenir. We have tried to record the high lights of 1928-1929 at K. S. T. C. There are many things that we realize, have been omitted, not through negligence, but lack of time. Though we have spent many, many hours in preparing this book, we could not spare as much time for it as we should have liked. Please excuse the errors and laugh at the jokes. And again, we hope you like it. Please notice the boy on the last page. He represents you. We cannot tell whether he is yawning or laughing at our efforts, but we hope for the best, and wish you happiness and success throughout the coming years. Sincerely, Julia Garth, Editor.

(Page 186) Page 186 (Page 187) Humor (Page 188) A Freshman Writes Home Dear Folks: Thanks for your kind words of warning about certain pitfalls of college life, that you gave me before I came to Missouri State Training School No. 1.1 have taken every precaution to elude persons seeking to make me go barefooted, wear a silly cap, and button to upper classmen. But, alas, all my efforts have proven futile. I agree with you that a Freshman in college should not be expected to function as a combination vaudeville act, moving-picture scene, and errand boy, no matter how much the upper class' men expect it of him. When a man becomes a Freshman in this institute he wonders, whether he is developing himself for future citizenry or an entertainer complying with the demands of a gang of smart sophomores. I expect more trouble from the Sophs, due to the fact of a new paddling club has been perfected and they will expect to exercise them upon my fellow sufferers and me with an ardor that will make the air reverberate. It is not beyond them to demand that a Freshman talk, warble and even yodel for them while pointing for the paddle, entering the classroom or glancing coyly at a good-looking girl, and I realize that it is up to me to comply or else-- I had an awful time getting settled here. The "K. O.," that I came in on, was so crowded that we all had to park our chewing gum. I don't think there was a faculty member present, I hope not, anyway, because the lights came on before I regained my equilibrium, after we went through that tunnel. She sure was a peach, though. The boys up here all think the high school girls are the best dates in town, but I will never stoop so low. Give me a good old (I mean young) college girl every time. Well, they spent two days deciding whether we could enter the Institute or not. We had to take a lot of intelligence tests, like--Is a cow an animal, a tree, a building or a fowl? And they counted the answer wrong if you made any extra marks on your paper. The idea! I flunked out, but they are letting me go to school, anyway, by taking a special course in English. They were pretty anxious for me to play that quarterback position, I guess. Then they sent us over to the office in Science Hall and told us to enroll. I said, I want to take English, History, Math, and gym, because I had a date with that swell (Page 189) jane in fifteen minutes and was in a hurry. But they kept me right there for three hours. I even had to explain how many of my uncle's cows had calves. A sawed off but very dignified looking gent took my sixteen bucks. He didn't get to meet me though--he was so busy bawling out a boy who had forgotten some kind of a card. He told him he couldn't see any of the football games if he lost that. I don't care if I do lose mine because I will be playing anyway, and they won't let you loan it to a girl. Rats! That night they had a reception in what they called Sociability Hall. I went, and the first thing they introduced us to the whole faculty. I sure liked the President. He said he was glad to have me here, and I felt like I was somebody. They served punch, which was good and I met another girl who was sure swell. I can't decide between the two. I guess I'll keep both of them for a while. I almost forgot. Our class had an election of officers. They nominated all the pretty girls and made them leave the room. And after they counted the vote, a boy was elected President--I can't understand it. In regard to your wish that I never do anything to make enemies I have let myself be cajoled into beating a Doctor's time and I realize that it was a mistake. My idea was that by doing a brave deed at the outset the Sophs would be satisfied and make no further folderal about it. I now believe, as you do, that the Sophs will expect me to do bigger and better things. I am afraid that every time a girl's heart breaks they will expect me to drop everything at once and help fix it. They may even expect me to he solve their telephone, electric light, and taxi meter troubles, and explain how to use one's sex appeal in wheedling an irate professor out of a grade. I anticipate an attempt on the part of the Sophs to fix me in the eyes of the student body as a handy man, having known me as a relief administrator in the case of the aforementioned member of the feminine species. Well, folks, I thank you for your premeditated instructions and hope you do not think they are being disregarded. Is there anything else that I should know about before I am lost in the mad whirl of whirling paddles, sleek, well perfumed Docs and belated lessons? Steve. P. S. Send me some more money to fix the leak at the upper end of my pocket (Page 190) Famous Endorsers of K. S. T. C. "Whenever I face a real problem I reach for the right cigarette.

"A great many friends have asked me how I steadied my nerves enough to get off a long punt. It's simply because I'm nonchalant and light a Murad just before the game."--Jimmie Streeter. "Whenever everything goes wrong on my date, I always light a Chesterfield on the way home. They satisfy."--Bob Donaldson. "I feel it a duty as well as a privilege to say to all my friends that whenever I am about to lead a long yell I always reach for a Lucky. There is nothing like them to clear up my throat. I also feed them to the Bulldog's Mascot."--Frank Vail. "Since I have started smoking Old Golds I cannot run into the dispensary coughing my head off and ask for an excuse for I simply can't cough. No siree! Not a cough in a carload."--J. Ottmar Attebery. "My popularity as a librarian, etc., at night, is due to Chesterfield's. They destroy all odors in the breath, and keep me always at my best."--Orlo Mack. "I could not teach my classes were it not for Prince Albert. Whenever I need a new comparison to get my classes started to thinking, I depend on it in my pipe to soothe my nerves and start my neurones to functioniong."--Professor Steele. "Horseshoe brand for me every time. I attribute my athletic ability to the delightful chew. Its chief advantage is the fact that it cannot be detected.

We're mighty proud of the old organization. While I think of it, just what is your idea of the fraternity proposition? You're not sure? Well, now wait a minute, fellow. The gang was talking about you in a short meeting last night and everybody seemed to be of the opinion that you would make a real Eta Pi. Now here's the way we decide whether we want a fellow or not; we always try to find out whether he will help the fraternity, and above all whether we can help him or not. You're just the type of fellow we need in here right now to carry on the work after most of us have gone into the field. And don't forget we can sure do you some good. There isn't a man in the fraternity right now that would sell all the friendships that he has made during the years he has spent here with the old gang. We have lots of good times but we don't shower our shekles like-er-er a certain frat, and thank God we are always able to py our rent. What's more, let me show you the plans of the house that we re going to build next year. Isn't it hot? Just think how proud your folks will be when they find that you have gone Eta Pi. Oh, yes, the boys get kinda rough sometimes, but that is done to test your sportsmanship. Just drop over to McClure's office tomorrow and sign on the dotted line. You will never regret it.

Auditorium--A place where once a week students prepare their lessons for the next hour. Athlete--Dumb saps who in spite of their low I. Q. rate the best dates in school. Professor--An ultra-sophisticated cosmopolite who delights in boring students by reciting tales of the good old days. French Club--Tax your own brain. Rooming Houses Mythological place where boys and girls are supposed to be after 7:30 o'clock each night. Library Reading Room--Last resort for tonight's date. F--Enough of them mean freedom. Hell Week--Seven days when razor blades rust, eggs are boiled, paddles are applied, and everyone looks on aghast, wondering what it's all about. Index--Weekly publication of K. S. T.

Faculty People who in spite of their ostensible superiority complexes are not selfconfident enough to have their pictures taken in their nightgowns. Work--The reason for colleges (figure that out). KFKZ--The reason why Kirksville people go to bed earlier on Monday and Thursday nights.

Girl on Her Prospective Osteopathic Husband WELL, I think Doc is just too lovely for anything, and a wonderful man and everything, but I wouldn't want to marry the dear, for I just couldn't bear the thought of spending most of the time looking for him, through a telescope. Grand as Doc is, I can't picture him as a home man. He'll be going here and there and a girl would have to be a mind reader to keep track of him. A wife could only expect to hear from him by telephone or telegraph. He would be jumping up from the breakfast table to run and massage someone's back, breaking away from dinner to set somebody's leg or getting up at all hours of the night to deliver pills and prescriptions. A wife would see him sitting in the parlor one minute and the next minute when she went to ask him to help her hang a picture he would go speeding on a good will trip to some aching backed former. And I just know that Doc loathes bridge parties and that sort of thing. He hates bridge unless all of the tables are fashioned after treating tables, and I am certain that he is bored by all games that do not require a stethoscope. Can you imagine him, a blond Viking, sitting around a party discussing hot stuff like polo chukkers, tennis, hair dressing, styles, and new dance steps? After about a half hour he would feel like grabbing his pillcase and dashing out through the window in search of someone with a boil on his nose.

I don't suppose it is, but I didn't expect it would be. Miss Elusive probably isn't there, but if she is let me talk to her. O! that's you speaking. That's odd. Say, I suppose you've got a date for tomorrow night, haven't you? You haven't? Is there anyone ill over at your house? Well, you've probably got to cram for an exam, I suppose. No! Well, I suppose you were going to be pretty busy, but if you aren't can you think of any reason why you shouldn't give me a date for tomorrow night? You don't know of any? Well, if nothing happens, and I expect there will--I'll be over about eight bells and we'll gulp a little fresh air in my benzene beetle. We'll probably have a flat tire, or the ignition may go wrong, the bearings may bum out, don't be surprised if the radiator springs a leak, and I may run out of gas. You hope so? That's funny. So do I. (Page 197) Interview With a Student at K. S. T. C. Q. What college is this that you're attending? A. K. S. T. C. dear old K. S. T. C. Q.How do you like it? A. Splendid. I never saw so many wonderful improvements in all my life. Only last year the campus was scalped and relaid. Q.You consider that it offers every advantage for a liberal education? A. O, my, yes. Why, man, ninety-nine per cent of the professors allow you to bluff them into giving you a grade if you are good enough. That's learning to live, isn't it? Q. How long have you been here? A. I'm still a freshman. Q. What was the matter with the old gyms? A. Nothing. They were fine but several old grads died and left a lot of money to K. S. T. C. and our efficient business administrator could not bear to have it lie around unused. Q. How is the cultural background? A. Simply marvelous. Why, we have a library with roomy spacious halls to loaf in on all three floors, and only a few weeks ago an enormous sum was spent to build a restroom for the ladies. Q.After all, it is the contacts in life that count. A. Right. I've met more doctors, book agents, laundry men, than I ever knew existed. All mighty interesting fellows. (Page 198) Results of the Student Ballot BALLOT ON STUDENTS Best Looking Man--Many seemed undecided about this honor. Elmer May finally won first place, on the grounds of being intelligent as well as handsome. Pharis Rouse and Herschel Weber raced in for second place. Best Student--This place was awarded to Trusten McArtor. His habit of going to the library every night has won this distinction for him. Second place was given to Leeland Vanlaningham. His name was not disqualified, due to the failure of the ballot to specify what the winner should be a student of. Most Brilliant--Wendell Sears won here by an overwhelming majority. It isn't every boy who can drive a car for nothing. Most Versatile--The vote was evenly divided among four very popular students--Mrs. Burk, Mrs. Ragland, Frances Fuller and Bob Jones. It looks like a draw and you may decide for yourself. Laziest--Marcel Reidel carried off the blue ribbon. He had to fight it out at sunrise with Professor Knobbs, however, in order to win. Biggest Bluffer--Sam Cavett won this place, due to his offensive habits, such as driving a few blocks out of his way to park by the side of a "No Parking" sign, and getting by with it. His closest rival was Charles Murrell, whose fines are his father's biggest worry and expense. Most Beautiful Girl--In spite of the decisions made by Mr. Fitzer for Echo queens, Amelia Brown won on the ballot. Her grace and neat appearance gave her the lead. Martha Cooper came second, due to the fact that "she disproves the old adage that women are beautiful and dumb." Wittiest--Cecil Martin was the victor. His clever sayings when coaxing a girl to give him a date have won for him a place in many hearts. He does look so much like Harold Lloyd. Hardest Worker--Maurice Israel wins. Who would contest this decision? Of course you have noticed Maurice spending his evenings in the library. No? Well, that's funny. Neither have we. Ruth Robinson wins honorable mention. What she works the most is the men. Most Talkative--It was a draw between Mrs. Hollowell and Caroline Dunnington. One talks all the time without saying anything and the other says anything while talking all the time. (Page 199) Day Nursery Love Sickness Broken Hearts Other Ailments Dr. Pack Cheit Cradlerocker Miss Quigley Head Nurse Dr. McArtor Head Dorctor Dr. Freeland Heart Specialist (Page 200) ballot on Students--Continued Most Popular Woman--Arline Heyd. She holds more offices than any one in school, and can get by with adjourning assembly before the Dean has made the announcements. Maurine Ballance was polling a large vote until the boys got jealous over sorority dances. Most Useful--Byron Cosby, Jr., christened little Jesus Christ by an evil godmother. He can do anything without being punished because he is bigger than his papa. Gus Beavens ran in for second place. We don't know what he's good for but they say everybody is good for something. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. Most in Love--Florice Siegle wins by a nose, figuratively, not literally. She doesn't have a long neck either. Her closest rival was Eugene Bartlett. His love is reflexive. Next came Ruby Gathman. She speaks for herself, too. Most Awkward--Violet Hawkins and Christy Turner tied for first honors. We thought Violet deserved to win, as she is older and should know better. Christy will learn soon enough that football tactics are not successful for all occasions. Best Dressed Man--Harry MacDonald won first with his brown ensembles, but the famous clothing salesman, Abe Curtwright, came in for a close second. Best Athlete---In spite of general opinions that Aggie Craig would place first, the ballot awarded this honor to John Paul Painter. No explanations offered. Most Original--Edward Hauptman. If you don't believe this decision was right, watch his individual dance steps at the next school hop. Ethel Perry won second, due to that memorable date. Fern Leeper, with her methods of fire escape, ran a good race. Most Likely to Succeed--Eugene Hamilton, an unprejudiced newspaper reporter. We wish him luck. He should go far, and the farther the better. Most Agreeable--Elinor Fair wins with very little competition. How she loves her fellow-men. We can't say about the women. But most of all she loves to talk. (Page 201) Ballots on Students - Continued Most Modest--William Teter was in a dose race, but finally came out ahead. He says little, but when he does talk everybody listens. Wirt Downing was nominated, but he did not choose to run. Biggest Grouch--Zelma Foster won this. She was nominated for most of these positions, but the ballot says that this is the one that fits her best. She is very popular on the campus and especially at the fraternity house down on Franklin street. Least Appreciated--Harry Detroit Baker, the handy man around K. S. T. C. He does all the jobs nobody else will do, and never gets any thanks. He will make his mark. Most Popular Man--Bob Donaldson. If we sent him to a cannibal island, he would have all the natives talking English and gossiping about each other in about fifteen minutes. It would be fine for Bob, but heaven help the natives. Most Eccentric--Raymond Harbur with his butterfly net and short trousers and shaven head won this honor. He should follow in Mr. Knobbs' footsteps. Most Useless--Isabelle Rich. She has never been known to try to bluff a teacher. She doesn't have to because she always has studied her lessons. It is a pity, though, that she doesn't have a class under a certain young faculty member. Second came Esther Johnson. A girl from home visited her one day and couldn't understand why all the books on her bookshelf had little white letters and numbers on the backs. Since then her library has diminished in size. Most Graceful--Thelma Gibson and Martha Hurliman tied for honors. They won on three points, beauty of face, beauty of figure and graceful movements. They remind us of the Dolly Sisters. Biggest Pest--Kenneth Milstead wins. He gives expensive Christmas presents to girls who can't even see him, and dresses up on occasions to give the women a treat. Second place goes to Marion Shanes. Women, here's your chance. Biggest Windjammer--Jeanne Austin. She just can't be quiet, as far as we know. But of course we have never been with her on a moonlight night. (Page 202) Ballot on Faculty We give no comments here as some of us want degrees this spring and others hope to return to school next fall. Best Looking--T. Jennie. Most Talkative--T. P. Long. Best Dressed--Miss Kennedy. Best Natured--Byron Cosby. Lowest Grader--Clevenger. Most Popular--Heyd. Kindest-Hearted--Smith. Wittiest---Hook. Easiest--C. R. Green. Most Intelligent--Burroughs.

Professor Harty managed to get a film to give at the Popular Science lectures which did not show a Whippet race, a cruiser passing under Brooklyn Bridge or the West Point Cadets at drill. He was booed. Jerry Ball, almost of age, finding himself alone on the street one day, did not stop in at the Smoke Shop for a chat, but only stood and gazed longingly at some carpenters plying their trade, and wondered if he could keep away from the women long enough to climb that high in life. Wirt Downing says he has to go home every so often to get some good food. Several K. S. T. C. girls who vocalize in Kirk Auditorium and other places with the windows open.
