Glenn Frank, a former student, died September 15, 1940. Professor Wallace Knobbs, a former faculty member of the College, died December 18, 1940. Laura Pauline Kirk, a graduate of 1913, died January 19, 1940. Mrs. Julia Whitaker Eliot, a graduate of 1939, died April 10, 1940. Elsie Jones, a graduate of 1939, died October 16, 1940. Richard Ames, a graduate of 1940, died September 19, 1940. (Page 13) Dedication For his quarter of a century's service to the college as a member of the Board of Regents, we dedicate the 1941 Echo to Judge J. A. Cooley, president of the Board of Regents. Judge Cooley has known all of the presidents of the college and has worked with three of them, Dr. John R. Kirk, Dr. Eugene Fair, and Dr. Walter H. Ryle. In dedicating this book to Judge Cooley, we are, in reality, dedicating it to service, for few men have served the college better or for so long a period of time as he. Judge Cooley, to you, and to all men who, like you, are willing to lay aside their personal ambitions for service to an institution, we dedicate this book. (Page 14) ORDER OF BOOKS It has been said that a book's foreword must necessarily be either an explanation of the contents or the author's apology. Years of publication have standardized the purpose of yearbooks; they need no explanation. The name indicates that such books record a year's work. Whether or not this yearbook needs an apology can be determined by how well it fulfills its purpose. Unavoidably some activities have been omitted and some have received more attention than others which may be of equal importance. We present the 1941 Echo without explanation or apology. It is your book; it is for you to judge whether it be good.

Students who take the course "Administration for High School Teachers" know this, since that is no snap course. Proudly we present in this section of the Echo the administrators of our college. Their friendliness and co-operative spirit convince the students that their interests and those of the administration are identical. (Page 17) (Page 18) PRESIDENT Inaugurated as the seventh president of the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College on the nineteenth of May, 1938, President Walter Harrington Ryle has brought to the administration of this college an enthusiasm and devotion to the problem of teacher preparation. This enthusiasm was born of his undergraduate experiences here, his diligent graduate study in a teacher training environment and his administrative service in the public schools. Believing that great teachers are those who have a clear understanding and deep appreciation of the world in which they live, together with the fine command of techniques essential to the teaching of others, he has attempted to shape our institution to conform to the substantial concepts of its founder. Feeling that truth and beauty and the growth of skill can best be nurtured amid adequate and pleasant surroundings, he is planning and carrying to completion a program of building expansion and campus beautification of extensive proportions. President Ryle, at work and play: He dictates to Margaret. He works on his stamp collection. He speaks at a banquet. He examines his dahlias. (Page 19) DR. WALTER H. RYLE President, Northeast Missouri State Teachers College. Kirksville, Missouri (Page 20) J. A. Cooley President W. A. Cable Vice-President Roland A. Zeigel Secretary Lloyd W. King State Supt. of Schools J. C. Houck Ethel Conner Roy Quinn Board of Regents The highest administrative unit of the Teachers College is the Board of Regents, made up of six men from various parts of the district. Every other administrator receives his power through the authority of the Board. Some of the duties of the Board are employing teachers, receiving bids on work on the campus or buildings and signing contracts. The policies and activities of the Teachers College are to a large extent decided upon by the Board, in their quarterly meetings. Members of the board are W. A. Cable, editor of the "Hannibal Courier Post", Hannibal, Mo.; Ethel Conner, cashier, Citizen's National Bank, Kirksville; J. A. Cooley, Commissioner of the State Supreme Court, Jefferson City; J. C. Houck, a retired railroad man of St. Louis; Roy Quinn, associated with the American Automobile Association at Moberly; Roland A. Ziegel, attorney-at-law, Kirksville, Mo. (Page 21) Dean of Women Mrs. S. H. Ellison, dean of women, is the charming hostess of all Teachers College activities. She supervises the housing of students, inspects rooming places and enforces regulations. As chairman of the social committee, she has charge of All-School affairs, and manages the school calendar of social functions. She also directs the freshman orientation program. Mrs. S. H. Ellison, Dean of Women Heads of Divisions Mr. Henry Enochs, Mr. Tom Angus and Mr. N. W. Rickhoff head the Divisions of Business Service, Extension Service and Personnel Service respectively. Mr. W. S. Pemberton acted as Head of the Division of Extension Service this year while Mr. Angus was on leave. These men cooperate with Dean Eubank and President Ryle in managing the college and keeping it functioning efficiently. W. S. Pemberton N. W. Rickhoff Henry L. Enochs (Page 22) Dean of faculty Louis A. Eubank Dean of the Faculty and Head of the Division of Education. B.S. in Education, State Teachers College, Warrensburg; A.M. and Ph.D., University of Missouri. Dean Eubank performs varied tasks for the Teachers College. His responsibilities range from arranging assembly programs to granting excuses from classes. Outstanding among his accomplishments of the past year is the scheduling of assembly programs. Noteworthy among them the last few months were the Fisk Jubilee Singers; Journalist Don Bates, lecturer on the Orient; Gerard Sacher, Czechoslovakian speaker; and Lew Sarett, entertaining poetry reader from Northwestern University. Working as chairman of the faculty committee on the study of professional education required much of Dean Eubank's time this year. This committee began an investigation last fall to find ways to improve courses offered in the different major and minor fields. Miscellaneous and routine duties include managing N.Y.A. on the campus, which employed at one time 145 students, supervising the granting of credits, giving out information about students and former students to employers, arranging class schedules, and acting as chairman of the Curriculum Committee. The 1940-41 school year was Dean Eubank's fourteenth with the Teachers College. He came here after experience as a rural school teacher, a superintendent of schools, an assistant instructor in the University of Missouri, and Dean of the Faculty at Christian College, Columbia, Missouri.

Campaign speeches, handbills, and rallies made a hot election which resulted in a clean sweep for the new Independent-Coalition party with the Bulldog party running a close second. Party loyalties and politics were forgotten as soon as members took office, and the business of spending the activity fees of the students went smoothly and efficiently. The custom of two shows and two dances each quarter was continued. Again the Council cooperated with the Rotary Club and the Kirksville Co-operative Concert Association to admit students to the activities sponsored by those organizations. Fred Sleyster, president of the Council, and La Rue Edrington, secretary, attended the national conference of the National Student Federation of America in Brunswick, New Jersey, during the Christmas vacation. Their report on the convention was made at an assembly program. Keys were awarded to members this year instead of holding the customary banquet.

Ophelia Parrish Laboratory School Felix Rothschild Over two hundred fifty Teachers College students, in training for positions as high school teachers, worked as student teachers in the Ophelia Parrish Laboratory School this year. By observing the regular teachers, taking charge of the classes themselves, and conferring with supervisors and faculty members these "practice teachers" get valuable experience and some good pointers on high school teaching. The Kirksville Junior High School was organized in 1923 as a joint project of the Kirksville Board of Education and the Board of Regents of the Teachers College. It is a part of the public school system, giving instruction in grades seven, eight, and nine, and is a laboratory school for prospective high school teachers. The school has an enrollment of about 530. There are 27 faculty members, with Felix Rothschild, the director. (Page 31) Left to right: Decker, Vermilion, Gatewood, Brown, Whitson, Martin, Straight, Edrington, Dr. Allen. Greenwood Laboratory School One hundred fifty Teachers College students who are majoring in elementary education got teaching experience this year in the Greenwood Elementary Laboratory School. Supervised and advised by Dr. C. H. Allen, the school's director, and the seven regular faculty members, these student teachers observed, wrote out lesson plans, helped the pupils during study periods, and then took charge of classes and did actual teaching. Like the Ophelia Parrish Laboratory School, Greenwood is administered jointly by the Teachers College and the town of Kirksville. It serves a dual purpose, educating grade school children and training grade school teachers. Dr. C. H. Allen (Page 32) CLASSES National defense work, conscription, and the calling of the Company K men were probably the causes of the slight drop in enrollment this year. The lower enrollment was especially noticeable in the junior and senior classes which had one hundred fifty-one and one hundred thirty members respectively during the fall quarter. The freshmen were three hundred seventy-seven strong that quarter, while the sophomore class was comparatively large with two hundred eighty-seven enrolled. Fourteen students returned for post graduate work. Total enrollment for the fall quarter was nine hundred fifty-nine.

The organizations can be roughly classified as follows: Two fraternities, four sororities, three honorary-service, four honorary professional, and eighteen departmental. Advisory groups functioned more as organizations this year than ever before; many of them held both educational and social meetings.

The pledges entertained with a dance which was made really unusual by the serving of a Christmas Smorgasbord. The Valentine formal--the entrance a huge valentine, the floor heart-shaped, the false ceiling blue studded with stars-- made all the Alphas say, "This has been a good year". Then the early ringing of alarm clocks-breakfast, followed by breakfast--for dancing before breakfast, followed by breakfast. It was a gay year.

Swinging at the Southern Plantation Garden Dance swung twenty girls the Delta way. The pledges staged a "skirt and sweater fling" for their big sisters. Then came the highlight of any sorority girl's year -- the Founder's Day banquet and the super-spring formal. No wonder the girls get a thrill out of singing "I'm a Delta Sigma Always".

Little bronze bulldogs were given to the rushees as favors. The annual Marine Ball, a formal, caused a grand group of girls to enlist in the Pi Kappa Sigma cause. Founder's Day, November 17, was commemorated with a. tea in the parlor of Kirk Auditorium. Pledges, actives and alumnae were present. Miss Cornett, the sponsor, entertained the girls with a party at Christmas. There were food and presents. The best present for the pledges was Elaine's announcement that pledge week started the next day. The pledges retaliated for all the fun the actives had shown them by inviting them to an extra-special Red, White, and Blue dance. The spring formal served as an excellent climax to a year full of fun and friendship. Miss Bracy Cornett, Elaine Wagner, Neva Shinn, Martha Taggart, Virginia McCollum, Aileen Arneson, Annette Barb.

The silver anniversary of the sorority was celebrated with a days activities including a tea at the home of Mrs. Charles Still and a banquet at the Travelers'. The national president of the sorority spoke at the banquet. The pledges presented a program at the Christmas party and also entertained the actives with a dance and food. The annual Founder's Day banquet and the spring formal, red-letter days on the Tri Sigma calendar, surpassed all expectations.

A smoker at the Sojourner's Club started the whirl of rush season which was slack this year because of an epidemic of low grades. Cigarettes, cigars, and food prepared by Chef Rieger made the smoker click. Then the Hobo dance, a swell romp, climaxed the rush season which netted nine men for the fun of Pledge week, topped off by a field trip.

The bar with pretzels and cider and candles in bottle necks proved quite an attraction. The whole crowd descended on Jane's after the dance. In addition to the Forty-niner a rush banquet and smoker was held at the Sojourner's club. The result was fourteen pledges, who entertained the actives with a dance in Sociability Hall.

Blue Key fraternity was first established at the University of Florida to sponsor the Homecoming activities of that school. Since then one of the main projects of each chapter of Blue Key is helping with the Homecoming of its own school. The chapter on this campus has sponsored two successful Homecomings in the past two years. The expense of Homecoming, of the Blue Key scholarship, and of the Blue Key loan fund is met by the proceeds of an annual benefit dance. Members are elected on the basis of scholarship, interest and participation in school activities, personality, and character. Ten members were initiated the spring quarter. They were: Clifford Bohmback, Calvin Brantley, Glen Byram, Maurice Eger, James Murphy, Paul Myers, Neal Primm, Gerald Reeves, Mark Harrison and Beecher Spees.

This service the members render in several ways such as acting as ushers at concerts, selling programs at football games, filling Christmas baskets for needy families, and assisting Blue Key with the Homecoming. Each year Cardinal Key gives two scholarships to two deserving women for use during the spring quarter. This year the scholarships went to Martha Davis and Margaret Reynolds. Expenses of the scholarship and other services of the group are met by the proceeds of the "Open House" parties they hold on enrollment night of each' quarter and at other open dates. The organization's membership of twenty is chosen from college women meeting the requirements of leadership, scholarship, participation in extra-curricular activities, and character.

Kappa Delta Pi is an honorary professional fraternity of national scope, serving in Teachers Colleges much as Phi Beta Kappa does in Universities. Membership in the organization is one of the highest honors obtainable to prospective teachers. Candidates for membership are selected on the basis of scholarship, an S average in all college work, and character and promise in the field of education. Programs of interest to future teachers are presented at most of the bi-monthly meetings. Two dinners are held each year, one during the district teachers' meeting and one in connection with the spring quarter initiation. This year a chili supper was held at the pledge service in the fall quarter. Each year a twenty-five dollar scholarship is awarded to the highest ranking freshman. Bob Newman won the award last year. Helping Mrs. Pauline Knobbs, sponsor, in her research on the history of organizations was one of the major activities of the year.

Open to high school valedictorians and salutatorians and college students who meet certain scholastic requirements, the organization initiated over seventy-five members during the year. Growth was not confined to size but was also noticeable in influence and unity as more projects were undertaken and more interest shown in meetings than ever before. A local constitution defining the standards and objectives of Alpha Chapter was adopted, and the history of the organization was investigated. MEMBERS Agee, Allen, Anderson, A. Ayres, M.

A series of programs which centered about the influence of France in America were presented this year. The old French settlement at St. Genevieve, Missouri, and some of the French explorers and pioneers were studied. Madeline Barrow represented Jean d' Arc on a white steed as the club's contribution to the Homecoming parade. Miss Wade, sponsor of the organization, entertained the members at her home with a Christmas party. The evening was spent in playing games, competing for prizes, and eating French food. (Page 92) K Club K Club members are the burly Teachers College athletes who have lettered in either football, basketball or track. Recruits were scarce this year as only twenty-three football and seven basketball players earned letters. The club went social in a big way, holding "Open House" a couple of times and throwing a big spring K Club dance with Jr. Musolino's band. Officers for the year were: Roy Phillips, president; Gerald Grossnickle, vice-president; and Bert Lane, secretary. German Club The German Club, having as its purpose the study of the songs and customs of the German people, is composed of students interested in the German language. During the meetings, which are held bi-monthly, the members sing, read poetry and study the German customs; they carry on most of their conversations in the German language.

The really big activity of each year is preparing the luncheon for the visitors on High School Senior Day. Preparations for this day must be started days before the event since serving luncheon to over a thousand high school seniors is a Herculean task. The Home Economics department of the Teachers College was host to the State Convention of Home Economics teachers March 28-29. Even though their main activity is entertaining others, the members of Ellen H. Richards Club do not neglect their own social life. Several teas are held during the year and their Kitchen Warming, to which they invite the Ag Club boys has become an annual function.

College Players is open to all students interested in dramatics. A series of one-act plays started the year off. Then came the thrilling mystery, "Sinister House", with a cast of eleven women. With the second quarter came three more one-act plays and this spring Hendrick Ibsen's "Ghosts", another thriller under the direction of Professors Collins and Avison, sponsors of the organization. Dorothea Claras is the president of College Players. Reader's Round Table Readers' Round Table gives students the opportunity to share with others the impressions they find in literature. In organization activities during the year Stephen Blackhurst, president, placed second in the original poetry section of the Mid-west speech tournament. Dorothea Claras placed first in selected poetry, and topping this off was awarded the book ends in a supplementary contest sponsored by Ted Malone. The other officers are: vice-president, Janet Leslie; secretary-treasurer, Susan Shirley. Professors Avison and Collins are co-sponsors.

Historical Society The presidential election and the "good neighbor policy" are typical of the subjects discussed at the meetings of Historical Society this year. An annual social highlight for the organization is the banquet, held this year during the spring quarter. In March several members of the society participated in the Mississippi Valley International Relations Clubs Conference at Warrensburg. Dr. Edward Keso, sponsor, was assisted in carrying out the program during the year by two presidents, John Schwada and Edith Gallop. Pythagorean Society Sponsoring three social events during the year, the Pythagorean Society, under the leadership of President Ruth Straight, has proved to be one of our most active clubs. The society holds meetings twice a month, featuring topics of general interest not considered in class work, such as biographical sketches, the nature of mathematics, and the history of the evaluation of certain important numbers. The club is composed of eighteen members, mathematics majors and minors and those persons who have fifteen hours of credit in mathematics. (Page 100) Ag Club Dean Rosebery .................................President Paul Epperson ............................Vice-President Melvin Thompson ...............................Secretary Eugene Thurlo .................................Treasurer Norvell Allen .................................Sponsor Under the presidency of Dean Rosebery the Ag Club not only continued its activities of past years but added new ones. Again the club held a picnic on the banks of the Chariton River, a Barnwarming dance, several parties, and a party in honor of the Home Ec girls as its social program. Annual features of the Barnwarming are the crowning of the Harvest Queen and the hog calling contest. Norma Buck was crowned queen this year with Lucille Shoop as maid of honor. The club was entertained again this year at a Kitchenwarming held by the Home Economics girls. Besides the social program, the club held educational meetings with leading men in the field of agriculture as speakers. In addition to awarding trophies at the spring contests, helping with the baby beef banquet sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, and showing exhibits at the fall festival, for the first time the club awarded a scholarship to an outstanding agriculture student.

(Page 103) One of the largest organizations on the campus, the Women's Athletic Association has as its purpose the fostering of interest in women's athletics and the development of sportsmanship. Each of the past four years the membership of this organization has exceeded one hundred. Jeannette Monroe, president, Helen Muzzey, Louise Brislane, Mary Ruth Hawkins, and Misses Frances Fuller and Thelma Dodson attended the National Physical Education convention at Louisville, Kentucky, and ten girls attended the state meeting in Kansas City. Among the attainments of members were the winning of the national basketball officiating rating by Florence Hulett, the local rating by Mary Curtright, and the intramural rating by Jeannette Monroe, Barbara May, Levenia Beard, and Mary Elizabeth Cook. The modern dancers presented a program of four dances in the College assembly and also performed before the American The Modern Dance Group in Assembly. Ruth pours tea. Association of University Women, the Sojourners club, the Fortnightly club, and the high school seniors who visited the campus on Senior Day. The social program of the group consisted of a Christmas dinner for physical education majors and minors, a buffet supper for the dance group from the State Teachers College at Springfield who were here for the meeting of the State Physical and Health Education Association, the annual "Hick Party", and several teas. On their athletic program the girls had hikes and trips to the W. A. A. cabin on the Chariton river and an intramural tournament each quarter. Volleyball came in the first three months, basketball in the second and badminton, tennis and a "field day" for track finished out the year.

Discussions of a scientific nature were presented at the monthly meetings. Among these discussions were reports given by the members on vitamins and their uses. The Industrial Arts Club is one of the newer clubs on the campus, having been organized only last year. Each Thursday the twenty-nine members hold their meetings and discuss problems arising in their work. A speaker is on the program every fourth Thursday. During the year from time to time, social gatherings were held to stimulate interest and to promote a more fraternal feeling among the members.

(Page 107) A Cappella Choir Fifty-two of the best voices in the college were organized under the direction of Dr. Barrett Stout to produce one of the finest A Cappella choirs of recent years. It is from A Cappella that most of the talent for the musical productions of the College come. Most of the members sang in the chorus for the opera "Elixir of Love" and all of the soloists of that production were members of the choir. The choir sets the atmosphere for Mr. E. S. Avison's annual reading of Dickens' "Christmas Carol" by singing carols. Each year A Cappella makes a short concert tour of the public high schools of this district.

The bright spot in the grid season was the 10-7 victory over Warrensburg, but Springfield, Cape, Maryville and Rolla each held Kirksville scoreless. The cage team won seventeen of twenty-five games and copped third place in the conference. Setbacks that hurt were the two-overtime period game that the Osteopaths won, and double losses to both Maryville and Warrensburg.

Basketball Six "Iron Men", Captain Bass, Shores, Sooter, Bohmback, Nelmark and Lane, this year lifted the Bulldog basketeers out of their customary second division berth and almost brought the M. I. A. A. championship to Kirksville. Sparkplugged in conference play by John Shores, six foot four inch center whose 149 points raised by 31 the M. I. A. A. individual scoring record, Coach Eiken's boys won six and lost four loop games. The team won five of six games on a northern tour, placed second in the Keokuk tournament, and won eleven of fifteen non-conference games. The intra-city squabble ended in a draw, as K. C. O. S. won the first game, 42-41, in two overtime periods, and the Teachers took the second, 38-28. Rolla was decisively defeated, 46-29, in the first conference game, but the tall Maryville Bearcats squeezed out a 36-35 victory to jerk the Bulldogs back to earth. Kirksville piled up a 40-23 score against the Bears in Springfield, but Nelmark, ball- (Page 115) handling expert, was injured, so they couldn't repeat the trick the following night at Warrensburg, losing 46-23. Playing in Kirk Auditorium, Cape's Indians doubled the first-half score on the 'Dogs, but Coach Eiken so revitalized his charges during the intermission that they rallied to win that night, 37-35, and six days later repeated the victory at Cape Girardeau, 31-27. On the way back they stopped briefly at Rolla and dynamited the Miners, 47-27. With Kirksville leading the league with five wins and two losses, Bass, twice cage captain, was called to the Naval Air Corps. Playing without the high scoring guard, the Bulldogs dropped championship-deciding games to both Maryville and Warrensburg, although Shores pushed in 36 points in the two tilts. In the season's final game Kirksville rolled up 43 points, Springfield was allowed 33, and Shores poured in 24 to set the new record.

I. A. A. indoor meet held in Columbia, developed swiftly when spring weather hit Kirksville and went on to have a good season. Culver Stockton was defeated in one dual meet, 75-51; Maryville administered an 87-49 licking to the Bulldogs in another. A three cornered affair went to the Kirksville squad as they outscored Rolla and Warrensburg 56-48 2/3- 39 1/3. In the outdoor M. I. A. A. meet held at Warrensburg the speedy Ramsey Lammers and Clifford Bohmback, aided by such point-getters as Branstetter, Brumagin, Closson, and Herst, gathered in 33 1/2 points to place Kirksville third. Lammers burned up the track to get 11 points and tie for second in individual scoring. M. I. A. A. Meet: Brumagin wins. Herst makes a big jump. Lammers gets five points. King hits his stride. Closson kicks a cloud. Roodhouse heaves the discus. Bohmback speeds down the stretch. Hueseman clears the bar. (Page 118) Championship game Pugilist Bonta Interfraternity brawl.

Six sports, volleyball, basketball, softball, paddle tennis, lawn tennis and badminton, were offered. In basketball, with three leagues, 14 teams, 110 players taking part, Brockman's team took the Freshman crown, Murfin's Kewpies won in the Independent league, and Rimer's Sig Tau "A" boys whipped everything in the Organization loop. The Sig Taus then trounced the Kewpies to capture the school championship. (Page 119) Girls' Intramurals Ten volleyball teams, with 100 players, and eight basketball teams with a total of 80 players took part in women's intramurals during the fall and winter quarters. A badminton tourney and a track meet were staged in the spring. Independent I, captained by Alice White, won the volleyball tournament, whipping the Independent II group, led by Dorothy Chambers. Louise Brislane took command of the Independent I team during the basketball season and whipped all comers to win the cage tournament. Independent VI, Margie Shackleford, captain, was second.

Just as the theater offers several features in order to appeal to its entire clientele, so must the college offer all the features named above to make available to the student the varied experiences he has a right to expect. While we call this the Feature Section, we wish you would think of every activity as a feature.

Now, with all deadlines met and everything settled but the bills, we find we know a little about photography (very little, did you say?), and a little about engraving, printing, and managing. As the co-workers on the acknowledgements page can testify, we know quite a bit about and have become especially gifted at "passing the buck." But we don't like to sing our own praise too much. What we really like best is that now we can say, "Here is your 1941 Echo." (Page 132) The science department went en-masse on a field trip ... In the air . . . Kenny Kurz takes a snooze . . .
