Old Missou and Old Missouri
Our hearts the school has won.

Of Old Missouri's sons.
Gladly thee our hearts we tender
By the dim and flickering light
Every lad a proud defender
Of the Purple and the White.

Dr. Eugene Fair was elected president of the Northeast Missouri Teachers College by the Board 
of Regents in the spring of 1925 to take his appointment on Sept. 1, 1925. In choosing Dr. Fair, 
the Board of Regents selected one of the most admired and honored graduates of our school. 
As a classroom teacher, he was a success, but his efforts were in no way impaired by his being 
selected to head the school. He has proven himself to be a successful administrator and through 
his attentiveness to his position he has won the hearts of all the students of the institution.

Dr. Fair has proven himself to be an ideal gentleman and through untiring ability he has built 
up a spirit which is not surpassed by any institution of this caliber. Always he has been a 
friend to all, giving attention to the problems in such a way that he has built for himself a name 
which will go down in the annals of K. S. T. C. as a mentor of ability.

As students of this institution we feel indebted to the Board of Regents who employed him, for 
their judgment has proven that he was the one man for the position. We honor Dr. Eugene Fair and 
we wish that all who come to this institution could become better acquainted with him. He has 
given us his best efforts and they have been crowned with 
the most successful school year in the history of K. S. T. C.

Dr. John R. Kirk

JOHN R." . . . .the name by which John R. Kirk, Educator, was known to every one of his students, 
co-workers, and employees. A name applied for various reasons by different individuals, in the end it 
was always used for the same reason--it was a term of affectionate familiarity. The man who became 
a trail blazer in the world of education was not so "upstage" that he could not mingle with every 
day folk; hence the "John R."

Has there ever been a student here for any length of time whose name Mr. Kirk did not know? The 
writer is neither a student nor a graduate; he was never prominent in the activities of 
K. S. T. C., yet Mr. Kirk, knowing his students, knew this one too,--by name. Such a human 
quality is a precious one to have, and Dr. Kirk possesses it to a remarkable degree.

This quality of friendliness, then, is one that has endeared our "John R." to many student 
generations. One can easily have respect for achievement, and Dr. Kirk merits a full measure of 
this, for he stands today, as he has for two or more decades, among the always small group of 
leaders. The daily news of the educational world contains word of many activities and movements in 
which Dr. Kirk has blazed the trail at his famous Teachers College. Physical Education, Public Health, 
a dozen others, can be named. The first educator to say, "Musically talented children should receive 
their opportunity in the public schools" was Dr. Kirk.

Such an expression, delivered at a time when public school music was a minus quantity, is typical 
of the man. Unmindful of criticisms he has always pursued the way of progress. Never afraid to 
experiment, he has been more than once rewarded by seeing the successful results adopted widely.

The man today, for the present not in the old intimate touch with his students, still commands our 
admiration, for he is with characteristive vigor doing graduate work at one of America's great 
professional schools. The Stream of Life flows on, but to-day, as yesterday, "John R.' , with 
flashing eye and ringing voice, stands to the front, proclaiming the too-often-forgotten truth 
that Education must not stagnate, must grow or die.

Dean of the Faculty, State Teachers College, Kirksville, Missouri, 1925-. In selecting 
H. G. Swanson to be Dean of the institution, Dr. Fair selected a man who is well known in 
educational circles throughout the state. Dean Swanson is a capable, reliable man and it is to him 
that we feel a great deal of praise should be given. Through co-operation with the student body 
he has been able to give great service to K. S. T. C.

PROF. BYRON COSBY has behind him an enviable student record. This is mirrored in his degrees of 
A. B., B. S., and A. M. from the University of Missouri and his graduate work in the University 
of Chicago. He has been for more than fifteen years a prominent teacher of Mathematics in this 
school. His contact with the public and with teachers in the state is extensive. 
His work on the Recommendations Committee of this Teachers College has been of outstanding value. 
As our Business Administrator he has been so efficient that the school has profited by thousands 
of dollars. He has a most fortunate combination of education and business sense. His publicity 
work for the Teachers College is unequalled. Byron Cosby, Business Administrator

We're loyal to you, K. S. T. C.;
To you we'll be true, K. S. T. C.;
We'll bank you to stand 'Gainst the best in the land,
For we know you have sand, K. S. T. C. Rah! Rah!

Amid the broad green plains that nourish our land,
For honest labor and for learning we stand,
And unto thee we pledge our heart and hand,
Dear Alma Mater, K. S. T.. C.

COACH H. L. McWiLLiams first came to us as a student and an athlete, playing on the championship 
football team of 1908. Later he entered the University of Missouri and made an enviable record as an 
athlete while there, being chosen as quarterback of the mythical All Missouri Valley Football team. 
Since 1914 Coach McWilliams has been associated with this school as Athletic Director. 
His ability as a coach and producer of championship teams is known throughout the state. He has long 
stood high in the estimation of K. S. T. C. athletes, students, and alumni. We regret that Coach 
McWilliams has severed his relations with this institution 
and our best wishes go with him.

COACH DON FAUROT came to us from Missouri University. He was a prominent athlete at Missouri 
University for the last four years, playing fullback on the 1924 Missouri Valley Championship 
football team. He not only played football, but was outstanding as a basketball and baseball player. 
He was captain of the Missouri Varsity basketball team his third year. He was graduated from the 
college of agriculture at Missouri last spring and was engaged as Freshman football coach at the 
University last fall. Mr. Faurot took up his duties as head coach at K. S. T. C. on December 1, 
1925. He has proven a worthy successor of "Curly" McWilliams, turning out the best basketball 
team the college has had for the past few years.

W. L. BARNARD, beter known among K. S. T. C. students and alumni as "Dubbs," graduated from 
K. S. T. C. in 1924. Since that time he has had charge of physical education at the Junior High 
School and has been assistant coach at the college. "Dubbs" was a three year letter man in basketball 
and was captain one year. Because of his small size he was handicapped but he always had 
the old Bulldog fight that never says "Die." Mr. Barnard is a true sportsman and stands for those 
high ideals in athletics that K. S. T. C. has always followed.

The Football Season

THE first call for practice of the Bulldogs brought out fifty-five candidates for positions on the 
team. This was the first time for many years that Coach McWilliams had a nucleus of old letter men 
around which to build a team. Out of these fifty-five men, eleven letter men had returned to defend 
their positions. The letter men who reported were Captain Barker, Stroup, Ransom, Chevalier Streeter 
and Holman, Captain of the '24 team which won the M. I. A. A. championship. McKanna of the 1923 
team was back also. Reed, Williamson and Thomas from the 1922 championship team had returned for 
another year. Many promising men who had been out years previous were also out for the team again, 
among the most promising were, Simmons, Garrett, Rouse, Parsons, Ellis, Bradley and Willis. 
Kirksville High School also sent over a delegation of ambitious men among whom were Orval Craig, 
Levi Craig, Hayden, Eggert and others. Adams and Dueringer from Missouri Military Academy were 
numbered among those who were ambitious for a berth on the first team.

The early part of the season was very warm and the Bulldogs were not able to get to work very 
strenuously. However, after the first two weeks, they started training in earnest for their first 
game. The season opened with a game with the Chillicothe Business College. This also opened up the 
first of a series of mud baths which the Bulldogs were destined to take almost every week end. 
Chillicothe brought a large team to Kirk field seeking for revenge for the defeat of a year ago. 
However, the Bulldogs were never seriously threatened but once and on a fumble a Chillicothe 
player picked up a ball and dashed for the goal line 50 yards away. He was overtaken by Mc-Kanna 
and Chillicothe's chances for scoring were over. Early in the third quarter Orval Craig broke 
through and blocked a punt and Stroup fell on the ball on Chillicothe's 14 yard line. Streeter 
carried the ball over for a touchdown on the first play and kicked goal afterwards. The Bulldogs 
seemed to be content with the lone touchdown so C. B. C. went back home defeated 7-0.

After a week of hard practice the Bulldogs sought revenge for the 17-0 defeat the Kemper Cadets 
had given them the year before. The first few minutes of the game seemed to indicate that the 
Bulldogs might not secure that revenge but after the Bulldogs secured the ball and started their 
march down the field the outcome was never in doubt. Kirksville's tackles played splendidly 
throughout and time after time a Cadet would pick himself up and find that he had lost five 
yards. McKanna seemed to be at his best and the big fellow tore the line to pieces while Streeter 
played another great game. The Bulldogs failed to score in the first half but the second half saw 
them in great form and two touchdowns and a place kick were marked up against the Cadets. The 
revenge that the Bulldogs had striven for was complete as the game ended with the ball on Kemper's 28 
yard line. The score was reversed from the year before with the Bulldogs on the long end of a 17-0 
score.

The first conference game was to take place in Maryville on October 16, and the Bulldogs spent a 
week in careful preparation for the game. Coach McWilliams put his proteges through several 
strenuous workouts in the mud and on Thursday they were

off to battle the foe on foreign fields. The trip was made in a Pullman so that all men would be in 
great condition for the game. Missouri athletic circles had rumored that Maryville had the best team 
she had ever possessed. Shortly after noon rain started falling and by 2:30 the field was saggy and 
muddy from one end to the other. The Maryville team came on the field attired in rubber pants and 
shoes with mud cleats on them. The first few minutes of play saw the Bearcats going through the 
Bulldog line almost at will. Their cleats had enabled them to hold their feet and they started 
pushing the ball into Kirksville territory. The Bulldogs held when they were forced far into their 
own territory and James Streeter's toe booted the ball far into the enemy's territory again. This 
type of playing continued throughout the first half with neither team ever being close enough to 
score. The second half opened up with a desperate attack on the part of the Bulldogs. After an 
exchange of punts Levi Craig broke through the Maryville line for a 15 yard run and a pass to 
Payne was complete for 25 yards. After two line

plays had been attempted, Streeter dropped back and place kicked from the 30 yard line for 3 points. 
But this run of luck was soon to be offset by a run of bad luck. Levi Craig slipped as he attempted 
to catch a punt and Maryville recovered. The Bearcats then marched down to the 12 yard line and 
after losing the ball on downs, blocked Streeter's kick and carried the ball over. Throwing 
precaution to the wind with only a few minutes to play, the Bulldogs opened up with forward passes 
and had one intercepted for a touchdown. It was a downcast Bulldog that walked from the field, 
but he smiled and lost in good spirit.

On the next week-end, the Bulldogs journeyed to Lexington to play the Wentworth Cadets. This game 
was the chance for the "so-called" comeback. With a slashing, driving, terrific attack the 
Cadets fell before the Bulldogs by a score of 38-7- Five times Streeter's toe booted the oval 
through the crossbar for the extra point. The Cadets proved themselves to be true sportsmen and 
showed a great deal more courtesy to the

Bulldogs than had any other team. Every man praised the Cadet team for their clean playing throughout.

Homecoming and the Warrensburg Mules! The first big snowstorm of the season fell Thursday before the 
game. Two thousand alumni were back to see the Bulldogs in action. Coach had spent much time in 
perfecting a defense against the much talked of forward passing machine of the Mules. The field was 
cleared of snow and on Friday afternoon at 2:45 E. C. Quigley's whistle announced the beginning of 
the battle. With Whiteman doing the passing the Warrensburg team was continually threatening. Passing 
from almost any place on the field they would carry the ball down the field but they never seriously 
threatened to score. The Bulldog machine was working well in the last half. Owing to the fact that 
the official was not on the line of scrimmage, the Bulldogs lost their only opportunity to score and 
lost the; ball three inches from the goal line. The crowd had called for a 
touchdown but circumstances kept the Bulldogs from delivering.

Leaving on Thursday evening the Bulldogs arrived in Springfield on Friday to battle with them for a 
chance at the championship in case Maryville should drop a game. More rain and more mud befell the 
Bulldogs and before a large crowd another mud battle was fought. Fighting valiantly from the first 
but hard luck seemed to be on their trail again and after bringing the ball to within inches of the 
goal line Springfield would gain the ball on downs or fumbles. Opportunity after opportunity was thrown 
away and even after Holman had tackled the man who received the punt and Chevalier had recovered and 
ran forty yards for a touchdown the official ruled the ball dead. The opportunity was open at all 
times for a score but Springfield seemed to take advantage of all the breaks and another defeat of 
10-0 was marked up against the team.

Without ever giving up hope the Bulldogs at last played a game on a dry field. After journeying to 
Canton on Friday morning the Bulldogs took the field with stern faces resolved that the Springfield 
defeat would be the last. Early in the game a Culver-Stock-
 

(Page 84)

ton player took the ball on his own 10 yard line and evaded half a dozen tacklers and ran for a 
touchdown. Kirksville came back with a touchdown and tied the score 7-7 In the last half James 
Streeter kicked a field goal and the game ended with the Bulldogs leading 10-7. The Bearcats never 
seriously threatened to score after the touchdown registered in the early minutes of the game.

Returning home, the Bulldogs spent a week in preparation for the last conference game and also the 
last game that most of the students would witness. The Cape Girardeau Indians invaded Kirk field but 
went away suffering the severest defeat of the season. Six times did the Bulldogs backs cross 
their goal line and six extra points were added after the touchdowns. Coach McWilliams said that 
the team was in the best form of the season and many of the Cape boys verified his statements. 
Entertainment was given the Cape boys and they praised our boys for their good sportsmanship and 
ability to play football.

The warcry of the season had been "Beat the Osteopaths!" and the team was rounded into shape for 
the Turkey Day clash for the city championship. It had been five years since the Bulldogs had chalked 
up a victory against our rivals across the tracks. McWilliams had resigned his coaching position and 
this was his last chance to put a team tutored by him on Kirk field. Whether he realized this or 
it was overzealousness on his part, he imparted to the Bulldogs the "Do or die" spirit and when 
the curtain rolled up on the final game his coaching began to show results. The "big farmer lads" 
who were brawny but not brainy football players as had been reported started their steam roller. 
Running around the ends, over the tackles, bucking the center of the line and pulling fakes at 
opportune moments completely upset the Bonesetters and they fought, not to win, but to keep the score 
from being larger. Every man played hard and no man outshone the other. A hard driving machine with 
a varied attack had driven the Ram pack to his shed suffering from a 21-0 defeat. It was a great 
game to close "Curly" McWilliams' career and had not hard luck followed him throughout the season 
the outcome might have been different.

At a meeting of the coaches of the M. I. A. A. James Streeter and Harry Stroup were chosen on the 
all M. I. A. A. first team. Captain Barker and James Chevalier were given places on the second team. 
At a banquet given by the faculty for the football men, James Otis Williamson was elected Captain 
of the 1926 team. "Bill" is a great player and he will be a great leader. The new Coach, 
Don Faurot, had been on the job and reports that many High School players from different parts of 
the State will report next fall. Of the 1925 team, only two men graduate. George Thomas and Glen 
Parsons will not return to defend the Purple and the White. The men receiving letters were Captain 
Barker, 3 yr.; Captain-elect Williamson, 3 yr.; Holman, 1924 Captain, 3 yr.; Chevalier, 2 yr.; 
Stroup, 2 yr.; Streeter, 2 yr.; Ransom, 2 yr.; McKanna, 2 yr.; Thomas 2 yr.; Vail, 2 yr.; Levi 
Craig, 1 yr.; Orval Craig, 1 yr.; Payne, 1 yr.; Simmons, 1 yr. Rouse, 1 yr.; Adams, 1 yr.; 
Dueringer, 1 yr.; Parsons, 1 yr.

The chances for a winning team in 1926 are excellent. The following teams are on the Bulldog 
schedule next year: Maryville, Springfield, Warrensburg, Cape Girardeau, Kemper, Westminster, 
Culver-Stockton and Kirksville Osteopathic College.

BASKETBALL practice started December 2 under the supervision of Don Faurot who succeeded "Curly" 
McWilliams. About twenty-five men reported for the first work out. Among these were six letter men 
from previous years. The squad was cut to twenty men at the end of nine weeks. The men stayed over 
three days into the Christmas holidays and came back three weeks early in order to get into shape 
for the hard schedule facing them.

The first game was with the Alumni All-Stars composed of Hunt, Drescher, Capps, Wells, Streeter, 
Barnard, and Garrett, all former cage stars. It was a hard fought

game but the Bulldogs managed to keep the lead throughout the game. The score being 23 to 19.

The next game was with Trenton Junior College who proved no match for the local basket flippers 
and were downed 75 to 12 and all twenty men on the squad saw service in this game.

Chillicothe Business College invaded our quarters next and walked away with a 32 to 27 victory. 
With a minute to play the score stood 19 to 20 and it was any one's game but the Bulldog's 
defense wilted and Chillicothe scored a couple of counters in rapid succession.

We opened our conference schedule with Maryville Teachers College Bearcats who had just shown 
K. C. A. C. a real run for their money. The Bulldogs were hot that night and before Maryville 
could adjust themselves Levi Craig had registered three times from the field and Captain Norris 
once. It was Kirksville's night and they outplayed the Maryville Quintet in every department of the 
game showing an exceptionally good tight man to man defense. The game ended 32 to 14 and 
Kirksville was tied for the lead of the conference.

We next journeyed to Culver-Stockton where we took a 31 to 19 defeat. The boys just couldn't 
get started it seemed and we are still wondering just what was wrong.

We then started on a hard two-game Southern trip to Springfield and Warrensbuxg. The Springfield 
game was a well played, hard fought game. Springfield led 12 to 10 at the end of the half and the 
Bulldogs tied the count about the middle of the second half but were unable to forge ahead and 
Springfield won 23 to 19. It was a hard trip from Springfield to Warrensburg and the games were 
played on following nights. The Bulldogs led by 4 points at the half and were 7 points ahead in the 
second half but seemed to assume a listless, tactless, style of play while the Warrensburg Mules 
were getting hotter all of the time. They passed us with a few minutes to play and walked away 
with the long end of the score, 27 to 21.

The next week end Maryville enjoyed sweet revenge on us by turning us back with a 32 to 21 defeat. 
The next night we cast our lots in St. Joseph with the St. Joseph Junior College, easily trimming 
them 30 to 17- Everyone playing up to form and St.
 

(Page 88)

Albert Fuerst, Guard; Levi Craig, Forward; Claud Eggert, Guard, Dallas Perry, Center

Joseph couldn't get nearer to the basket than the middle of the floor, but were pretty effective 
from that spot.

The Cape Girardeau Indians next invaded our camp but were squelched with a 32 to 24 defeat. The 
Bulldogs jumped into third place in the Conference but slipped back to fourth place two nights 
later when the Springfield Bears took a one-point game from us in the last 55 seconds of play. 
We led at the half and the score was tied several times in the second period and with less than 
a minute to play we were holding a one point lead which Captain Davis of Springfield turned the 
other way with a pretty one from near the center of the court. It was a tough game to lose 
as we out-scored them two field goals but free throws beat us.

The next game played was with our old traditional rivals the Osteopaths, on their own court and 
we carried off a 29 to 18 victory. In this game Milstead, who went in
 

(Page 89)

Aggie Craig, Guard; Harry Scott, Forward; Raphael Milstead, Forward; Jimmie Streeter, Center

for Cowell, played a fine game, scoring four baskets as did Levi Craig who turned in the same number.

We again packed and started South landing in Indian quarters at Cape Girardeau. We walked out with 
the long end of the 29 to 22 score of a really hard fought game on the cracker box gymnasium of 
Cape's. Levi Craig and Simmons were the high scorers with Norris next. Orval Craig played a neat 
floor game at guard.

We returned to Kirksville Sunday night and played our old friends the Osteo' paths in Kirk Auditorium 
on Monday night. For the second time of the season we trimmed the traditional foe 41 to 26. Scott 
came into his own in this game and came through with four nice ones. All the boys played a strong game 
and thirteen men saw service before the evening was over. Fuerst, the tall rangy guard also showed 
up well in this game. He was not eligible for the Conference games.

Our last game of-the season put an ideal finish to our fairly successful season when we got sweet 
revenge from Warrensburg 24 to 17 after they had beaten us earlier in the season. We also jumped into 
third place with this victory and the Mules went down to fourth.

To review our games won and lost we are pleased with the outcome of the season. We won ten games and 
lost six. Won four and lost four conference games and finished third. Maryville won first and we had 
the pleasure of beating them the only game they lost this season. Springfield was second with five won 
and three lost. Warrensburg and Cape Girardeau were last each with six lost and two won.

The following men were awarded sweaters this year: Captain Norris, Simmons, Cowell, L. Craig, 
Milstead, Scott, Shofstall, O. Craig, Eggert, Streeter, Perry, Dueringer, Fuerst.

THE 1925 Track Team was the best that K. S. T. C. ever produced. Thirty-men reported for the first 
work out among whom were seven letter men, including Captain McKanna, Hickman, Unger, Barker, Vail, 
Jacobs and Brokaw. Besides these men there were several high school stars and men who had been on 
the squad before but had not made letters.

Cold weather prevented the squad from developing rapidly but try-outs were held each week-end and 
gradually the team rounded into shape for the first meet with Kemper Military Academy.

Kemper had not been defeated in a dual track meet for eight years and the hopes of the Bulldogs ran 
high in anticipation of the coming meet but they were in vain. Kemper won the meet after a hard 
fight by the score of 69 to 53. Our next meet was with Central College. K. S. T. C. had never 
defeated Central College in a track meet but the tide turned with the score standing at 68 to 63 
and only the mile relay to be run. Kirksville took places with determination that the score should 
not be tied. Hendren ran the first quarter, McKanna the second, giving Perry a lead which was 
lost, but Rambo, anchor man took up the race, pushing his opponent close, finally passing him to 
flash down the home stretch and into the tape, giving the Bulldogs a ten point lead and winning 
the meet 73 to 63.

Barnes of K. S. T. C. was high point man with 13, while Hendren and Hickman, also of the Bulldogs, 
tied for second honors with ten points each.

On May 16, the Fourteenth Annual Intercollegiate Athletic Association track and field meet was held 
on the College Field. The Springfield Bears had won the state championship for three consecutive 
years but this time the Bulldogs were out to show them a hard race for first place.

In spite of a field and track made rather heavy by rains, Friday and Friday night, six new records 
were set and one old one equalled. New records were set in the 2-mile run, half mile relay, shot put, 
high jump, discus and javelin and the record in the 220 yard low hurdles was equalled.

Springfield State Teachers won again with 47 points, while Kirksville was second with 37 1'2 points, 
Maryville third with 36 1-2, Warrensburg fourth with 12 and Cape Girardeau last with 11 points. Davis of 
Springfield was high point man with 12 points, Reynaud and Hamilton, both of Springfield, tied for second 
with 10 and Hickman of Kirksville was next with 9 points.

Kirksville swayed back and forth with Springfield, there being only a few points difference in the 
score until the final events. Our "Iron Man" Hickman started the

score piling up for the Bulldogs by winning the mile run in 4:36.6 defeating Hembree the Springfield 
runner who had defeated him the year before at Springfield. Hendren of the Bulldogs set a new record in 
the discus at 128 feet 2 1-4 inches, and the other Kirksville men strove to add points to the lead but 
finally succumbed to Springfield losing by 9 1-2 points. This was the nearest K. S. T. C. ever came 
to winning the State Meet.

At the banquet given the track men the closing week of school, Hickman was elected to captain 
the 1926 Bulldog track team. Hickman is a fine athlete, a conscientious trainer and should lead 
the 1926 team to a more successful season than this one has been. The men who received letters in 
track are: Captain McKanna, Captain-elect Hickman, Jacobs, Vail, Rambo, Unger, Riggins, Hendren, 
Barnes, Streeter, and Perry.

EARLY in the Basketball season several persons got together and formed Basketball teams. It was decided 
to have an intra-mural tournament during the winter quarter. The teams represented in the tournament 
were Sigma Delta Tau, Sigma Tau Gamma, Army, Independents, Y. M. C. A. and the Junior High School. 
A round robin schedule of games was played and the Sigma Delta Tau emerged with five victories and no 
defeats. While they were forced at times to give the best basketball ability they possessed, the 
winners of the contest delivered at crucial moments to take every game. After winning the 
championship of K. S. T. C. they were challenged by the Independents of K. O. C., champions 
of the Osteopathic school. After a hard battle with the bone setters, the Sigma Delta boys came out 
with a clean cut victory, giving them the rights to intra-mural champions of the city. The 
Fraternity is justly proud of their team and hope that such contests will be held every year.

It was with a well balanced team that the Frat team won all of its victories. While they did not 
play the type of basketball that the varsity exhibited, they used a powerful offense to keep 
the score out in advance of their opponents in all the games.

The Music Department

THE Music Department of the Kirksville State Teachers College has had a long and honorable history. 
Starting about twenty years ago with one teacher and a few students it has grown to a faculty of 
six with an average enrollment of 200 during the winter and 350 in the summer.

It now offers 27 different courses leading either to the B. S. degree with Public School Music as 
major study, or to the degree of Bachelor of Music with Voice, Violin or Piano as major study.

The Music Department has always emphasised the three primary essentials of Musicianship, Skill and 
Scholarship, realizing full well that no degree of talent and industry will guarantee for the 
individual a successful musical career unless his skill is based on broad cultural scholarship 
and sound musicianship.

Among the successful graduates and former students of the Music Department may be mentioned the 
following: Phradie Wells, Soprano with the Metropolitan Opera Company, New York; Clara Sanford, 
Professor of Public School Music in the University of the City of New York; Paul Howland, clarinetist 
with Sousa's Band; John Neff, Director Department of Music, State Normal School, Indiana, Pennsylvania; 
Otto E. Graham, Supervisor of Music, Waukegan, Ill.; Helen Markey, Supervisor of Music, Keokuk, la.; 
G. W. Chambers, Supervisor of Music, Iron Mountain, Mich.; Mildred Nulton, Asst. Supervisor of Music, 
Denver, Colo.; Mary Shouse, Supervisor of Music in California; Ben Weaver, Asst. Supervisor of Music, 
Rochester, N. Y.; Alpha Mayfield, member of the music faculty of State Teachers College, Cedar Falls, 
la.; R. E. Valentine, Professor of Music, Kirksville State Teachers College.

In music one learns largely by doing. Vocal and instrumental ensemble classes, the chorus, the 
orchestra, recitals, concerts and public performances of the standard instrumental, vocal, orchestral, 
choral and chamber music masterpieces, grand and light operas afford the ambitious student ample 
opportunity for the development of latent talent and the poise and power that come only through 
practical experience.

A list of works performed by students of the Music Department during recent years and demanding 
the co-operation of vocal and instrumental forces includes the following:

Grand Operas: "Il Trovatore," "The Bohemian Girl," "Tannhauser," "Martha," "Stradella," "Carmen," 
"Mignon," "Maritana."


Light Operas: "Pinafore," "The Mikado," "Pirates of Penzance," "The Sorcerer," "Patience," 
"The Beggar Student," "Chimes of Normandy," "Erminie," "El Capitan."

Choral Works: "The Creation," "The Seasons," "The Messiah," "Elijah," "St. Paul," "Olaf Trygvason," 
"The Deluge," "The Swan and the Skylark," "Phandrig Crahore," "The German Requiem."

The works mentioned speak for the musical standards and ideals of the department and assure the 
student an acquaintance with the great masterpieces of all time--the only foundation on which sound 
musicianship can be built.

The demand for thoroughly prepared teachers of music is greater than the supply. • Those interested 
in music as a cultural or professional study should write for the special Music Bulletin, issued 
annually by the Department of Music, which will be mailed free of charge upon request.

AT the beginning of this year the Dramatic Club entered upon a new era. Twenty cents of the student 
activity fee was set aside to be used for dramatic productions. This has been an advantage, both to 
the club, and to the student body. In the fall quarter "The Rivals," Sheridan's famous old comedy, 
was given. In the winter quarter, "Roman Holiday," a three-act play written by Prof. C. M. Wise, 
was presented. Both plays were exceptionally well given.

The circuit play for the year was "The Rivals." The play was well received in the many places where 
it was given. Many calls came in for a presentation of "The Rock" written by Mary Hamlin, so the 
circuit play of two years ago was revived very successfully.

This year marked the beginning of a new organization. The circuit play company organized themselves 
as "The Thalian Guild Players." One of the features of the work of this organization was the
broadcasting of plays from the local station. It is hoped that this organization will be continued.

The Dramatic Club reckons the year of 1925-26 as the most successful in a long series of successful 
years.

Student Government

OFFICERS OF THE COUNCIL

Weldon Shofstall, President

Harold Rambo, Vice President

Dorothy May Johnson, Secretary

Margaret Ruth Thomas, Treasurer

IN the fall of 1925, K. S. T. C. witnessed the birth of two active political parties whose members 
were intensely interested in the management of student affairs and in the participation in student 
government. The names Co-operative and Progressive were chosen to designate these opposing parties. 
The membership of both parties was composed of people who were leaders in the school. A greater 
interest was shown in this campaign than had been manifested in previous years. Fiery campaign 
speeches were made by the respective candidates, and electioneering became a skilled work of art. 
The returns of the election showed that every candidate of the Co-operative party was elected. 
Thus the Student Council was formed for the year.

The purpose of the Student Council has been to act as a true representative of the student body, 
to discuss all problems of students with the idea of suggesting plans to the administration for the 
betterment of all phases of the student's college life, and to exercise actual governing power when 
desirable. The Administration has been deeply interested in this work, and has co-operated with the 
Council. In turn, the Council has made an effort to keep in close touch with both the Administration 
and the students, always with the view of being a true representative of the students of K. S. T. C. 
A new constitution has just been formed by a very capable and efficient constitutional committee, 
and it is believed the result will be that future councils may effectively use this instrument which 
embodies the unchangeable principles of government. One phase of the new constitution is the 
organization of the Council into various departments which have their specific duties and interests. 
The Council has done many things for the students; it has effectively managed a "Good Fellowship" 
week, which has had lasting results, it has considered seriously the problem of a student bookstore, 
and there is now an efficient student in charge of our bookstore, and it has given three of the most 
unique and original parties that were ever given on this campus. In addition, numerous minor matters 
have been discussed and acted upon. It has been the policy of the Council to invite 
and welcome other members of the student body to its meetings and members of the administration and 
faculty to come as guests. Student government to be a success must mean something real, something 
tangible, to every student in K. S. T. C That has been the big problem of the Student Council 
this year, and because of its success, student government will continue to grow and to become 
more efficient in this school.

OFFICERS

THE Library Club is a new organization in K. S. T. C. It was organized at the beginning of the 
winter quarter 1925 for two reasons--one as a social organization, the other for the purpose of 
aiding the librarians. The Club meets twice each month to discuss the problems that come up from 
time to time, and try in some way to find a good way to meet them satisfactorily. At this meeting, 
librarians are informed of the arrival of new material and where it may be found.

THE general purpose of the Index is to give to the students of K. S. T. C. a chance to have a paper 
of their own which will contain news that is of vital interest to them. The Index is strictly a 
college publication and when it has reached the point of giving to its readers the news it has 
accomplished the purpose for which it was intended. The staff of the Index is made up of students 
of the college, who, for the most part are interested in Journalism. These students select the news 
items which seem to be of the most interest to the students and publish them. 
The work is carried on by much outside work

with the mechanical phase of the work being studied in class. The class puts forth every effort 
to make this a good paper and most of them are true K. S. T. C. supporters. They show their 
loyalty by spending much time in the general makeup of the paper with special emphasis placed 
on the reporting assigned to them. It is with a great sacrifice of our time and pleasures that 
we are able to give to the school a publication which will be appreciated. Though good co-operation 
and fine spirit of all connected with the paper, we are accomplishing this end.

Echo Staff

A MYSTERIOUS object is any book, and strange the process by which it comes into being. The printing 
and binding are of course the work of great machines which turn and turn unceasingly and grind forth 
trim volumes, flawless, identical each with each.

But there are other matters essential in the making of a book. Fact and spirit animate it; they 
trace upon white pages the characters that give i life. The fact and spirit of this Echo you have 
furnished. The staff to whom you assigned the task have but tried to make a complete and faithful 
record of the life of this school in 1925 and '26.

For over half a century the men and women upon this campus have been developing the ideals of 
K. S. T. C. Their gift to us is the spirit of 1926. Unless something of that spirit were 
discernible upon every page of the Echo both you and your Echo staff would have failed.

The Spirit of '26 is very real to all who are present members of the school. Friendliness, fine 
fellowship, loyalty, joy in our work are its watchwords. They define the qualities by which we 
expect to be known--as a school and as individuals.

The staff have spared no effort to make a book worthy of such aims. They have secured a larger 
representation of students and faculty than any previous year book has shown. They have tried not 
to omit any event or activity which we shall be glad in the future to recall.

Thanks are due to all who have had a part in the making of this Echo--to President Fair and 
the executive force; to the artist, photographer, and publisher; to students, faculty, and 
Spirit of '26.

Y. W. C. A.

OUR Y. W. C. A. will be thirty-one years old this May. It was organized in 1895, ten months before 
the Y. M. C. A., by Miss Helen Barnes, State Secretary. The initial membership was seventy-four, of 
whom sixty-seven were active. Miss Zoe Snelling was the first president. The organization was 
completed just before school closed for the summer and the following fall only fourteen of the original 
members returned. The association's largest membership was reached in 1903-04, there then being one 
hundred ninety-nine members. In that year a house in town was rented and fitted up as an association 
house. One faculty member and part of the girls roomed there. It was also a place to entertain guests.

This year our membership has been about sixty-five. The Y. W. C. A., in keeping with its motto 
"I am come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly," has tried to be a worthwhile 
influence on the campus. The symbolic blue triangle stands for the three-fold development 
emphasized--physical, mental, and spiritual.

The year has not been one of startling deeds but of quiet and unobtrusive attempts to help 
where help was needed. Several attractive and unusual programs have been given. The little Miss 
Farringtons gave a marionette show in connection with the winter-term initiation services. At 
another program Mrs. Brock talked on Indians. At one of the January meetings Mrs. Wesley C. Davis 
read "The Happy Prince." Every program has been worthwhile to those girls who attended.

Y. M. C. A.

THE object of this organization is to unite the men of the institution for the maintenance of a 
positive moral and religious atmosphere; to lead students to become disciples of Jesus Christ, 
and students of the Book of God; to lead them to join the Church; to train students in 
Christian service; and to enlist them in the extension of God throughout the world.

The members of the Y. M. C. A. have just reason to be proud of the work and the accomplishments of the 
organization this year. The membership has grown to exceed that of any other period in the history of 
the State Teachers College. Through the efforts of the DevotionalMan and other Cabinet members, the 
men have been favored with a number of excellent inspirational, educational, and entertaining numbers.

The Association most cordially welcomes students and members of the faculty into its membership. We 
try to have a worth while program every Thursday evening. If you are not a member come out and join 
us. We believe we can help you and we are sure you can help us.

Women's Athletic Association

Women's Athletic Association

THE WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION is a very live organization. During the fall quarter, 
nine girls won points in hiking. A number of these girls are continuing their hikes in an 
effort to win the State "M."

The Athletic Association pin was presented to Miss Nelle Haley at the end of the fall 
quarter. Miss Haley has the honor of being the first member to win the gold pin which is 
the award given to anyone having earned 500 points in the Association. She is going to 
continue working for points until she earns 1,000 points and wins a monogram sweater.

A volley ball tournament was held during the fall quarter, the final game of which 
was played during the Teachers' Convention, and was won by the Navy team. The tennis 
tournament had to be postponed until spring because of continual rain.

During the winter quarter, the Association is larger than ever before. We have sixty 
members, and we are expecting an interesting basketball tournament.

The members of the Association enjoyed an automobile party during the fall quarter. 
On December 15th, the Association gave a delightful dance to the girls of the College.

A number of new songs and yells have been contributed by members during the year. 
With such fine spirit and splendid co-operation as is manifest among our members, we 
are a very live and important organization in the promotion of health and good fellowship 
among the girls of Kirksville State Teachers College.

The "K" Club

THE "K" CLUB as an organization began its career early in the history of athletic participations of 
K. S. T. C. This body functioned up until the war and was then broken up by most of its members 
joining the colors. This organization had failed to function up until the spring quarter of 1925. 
While there had been expressions as to the willingness of reviving the organization no action was 
taken until last spring.

Several of the athletes of K. S. T. C. became interested in such a movement and after consultation 
with Coach McWilliams it was deemed advisable to form a new organization. A meeting of all letter 
men in school was called and a committee was selected to form a constitution. Using their knowledge 
of the old group and combining that with newer ideals, the committee set to work and soon 
completed a constitution which was in turn accepted by the letter men. It was so constituted that all 
men having earned the college letter automatically became members. All other men were to be initiated 
upon their having won the letter. This club was founded on the ideals of sportsmanship, the promotion 
of better athletics, the making of better athletes through training, and 
for the purpose of attracting young High School graduates to become students of this institution.

At the first meeting after the constitution was formed, the men elected M. W. McKanna, president, 
Levi Craig, treasurer, and Don Vail, secretary. Committees were selected and put to work and over 
one hundred and fifty High School boys' names in Northeast Missouri were put on the mailing list. 
Several circular letters were sent out during the spring and summer and as a result several 
promising athletes entered our college last fall. The "K" club again acted as hosts during the Track 
and Field Meet last spring and in this way caused several boys to signify their intentions of becoming 
students at K. S. T. C.

At the opening of the winter quarter George Thomas was elected president and Fred Jones, secretary 
and treasurer. One new feature added this quarter was the "K" Club dinner held every two weeks. 
These dinners served also as regular business meetings for the club. On Feb. 25, 1926 the Club 
held their first annual dance. The main motive in this was to bring together as many alumni members as 
possible and revive or recall old times, also keeping former athletes ever aware of the fact that 
their co-operation means better athletics in K. S. T. C.

Standard letters and sweaters were adopted by the club and efforts made to discourage the wearing 
of any other award on the campus other than those won in this school.

At the first meeting in the spring quarter James Streeter was elected president, Clarence Ransom, 
vice president, and Irving Hickman, secretary and treasurer. A benefit dance has been planned to 
be given sometime during the quarter, and other activities that tend to stimulate athletics and 
better sportsmanship. The "K" Club is young but steadily coming to the front as a functioning 
organization.

The Historical Society

THE Historical Society of the North East Missouri State Teachers College ranks first in seniority 
of organization. The original constitution was written and adopted in the autumn of 1906, with a 
charter membership of eleven students. Professors J. T. Vaughan, Eugene Fair and W. G. Pooley 
were ex-officio members. J. H. Kinney of New Boston, Missouri was the founder, while Chas. 
Banks of Avalon, Alice Burnham of Milan, and Grover Morgan of Monterey, Iowa were among the 
first officials of the organization. The present membership consists of eighteen student and 
seven ex-officio members.

Practically every year progressive measures have been added. A new constitution has recently 
been adopted, and a change made in the plan of program. Round Table discussions are conducted 
when current topics are under consideration, while a special lecture is given each 
month by one of the teachers of the College. The most recent of these have been "The Youth 
Movement," by Miss Sadie G. Young; "The Woman of the Frontier," by Miss Lucy Simmons, and "My 
Trip to the Holy Land," by Mr. J. S. Stokes. The Violette-Robinson Historical Collections 
are not entirely available for use or inspection at present because of the crowded condition 
of the museum, but interesting additions have been made during the year.

The Society is and has been for several years, the local representative of the International 
Clubs which are financed by the Carnegie Foundation of International Peace. Through this 
organization club members are often enabled to hear worth while lectures from authorities 
on Contemporary International Politics.

Home Economics Club

ORGANIZED IN 1912

Affiliated with the American Home Economics Association 1925.

To keep abreast of home economics movements; to create an interest in all activities pertaining 
to the home; to develop an appreciation of the profession of home making, and to create a spirit 
of fellowship among its members is the purpose of this club.

ECHOES FROM HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT FOR

1925-1926

A pennant was awarded to the club for the best decorated booth at the annual Hallowe'en Carnival 
and party.

Two delegates were sent to the State Teachers Convention at St. Louis.

Largest departmental meeting on the campus during the District Teachers Association.

Plans are being formulated to send delegates to the National Home Economics Convention at

Speech Club

AT last the dreams of many K. S. T. C. students have come true. A speech club was organized this 
fall, consisting of the departments of reading, speaking, and dehate. This club, with the dramatic 
club, gives opportunity to students to do special work in four main divisions in the department 
of speech.

Public speaking clubs have come and gone in the history of K. S. T. C., but we believe an 
organization is being developed that is inclusive enough to stand for years to come. The aim of 
the club is to afford experience to its members in each of the divisions just 
mentioned. In an effort to do this, the program committee endeavors to divide the time equally, 
featuring one department each week. To this committee, the club owes much of its enthusiasm 
and growth. Unusual interest is shown and the programs steadily improved. The membership has 
passed sixty.

The Regents Award has been incorporated into the debate division of the club. Eight teams have 
entered the contest for the award, so kindly offered by the Board of Regents. These teams have 
agreed to accept the intercollegiate question as their question in the semi-final and final 
debates.

We believe the club will have an important part in the development of men and women for future 
service. As the years go by, we shall appreciate more and more the opportunity that is now ours.

The School of Nursing

THE School of Nursing was organized in March, Nineteen Hundred Twenty-three, through the combined 
effort of the Department of Hygiene and Public Health and the Grim Hospital. This was in response 
to a well defined need for higher educational standards for nurses and a closer relationship 
between the Nursing and Teaching professions. Health is now recognized as one of the first 
objectives in modern education. We hope to attract students to our school who are especially 
interested in school and public health nursing. Our aim is to provide a course of study that will 
not only insure proficiency in the art and science of nursing, but to create an understanding of 
the ideals and objectives of Health Education.

The School of Nursing is conducted under the supervision of the Division of Health and Physical 
Education. Nearly all of the classes are conducted in the buildings of the College. Many of the 
courses which student nurses are required to take are also attended by students preparing to be 
teachers, or who have already had experience in teaching. This contact helps to bring about a 
more complete understanding between these two groups which we believe is essential to the success 
of any health program in the public schools.

The practical work is given at the Grim-Smith Hospital and Clinic which is located one block from 
the college campus. Each student is required to spend eight months on special services in Barnes 
Hospital and St. Louis Children's Hospital, St. Louis, Mo. This arrangement is through the 
courtesy of the Washington University Training School for Nurses.

The first graduating exercises were held December 9, 1925 in the John R. Kirk Auditorium. Three 
students were given the degree of Graduate Nurse. They were Inez M. Thompson, Erla G. Barnes and 
Melba DeShazer Neupert. These young women have blazed the trail and set a high standard for those 
who follow. We are confident it will not be lowered.

Queens
 

(Page 156)

The Echo Queen

Beauty and Charm are sisters And seldom far apart,
While one may please the careless eye The other wins the heart.
For Beauty alone is helpless And cannot keep her own,
But Charm may hold a winning hand And play the game alone.

A QUEEN should possess both beauty and charm if she is worthy of her name. The title itself denotes 
that its possessor has beauty and graciousness, charm and wit. A true Queen gives friendliness 
and good cheer to those about her, and is modest by very virtue of her position.

The Queen of the Echo was for the first time in the history of K. S. T. C. chosen by a popular 
vote. Miss Ruth Gardner was without a doubt the popular choice of the student body. Her queenly 
qualities are apparent to her many admirers, and the students could not have chosen a more worthy 
Queen. She received the first two years of her high school education at Kirksville High School and 
the remaining two years from Black River Falls High School in Wisconsin. She is now a member of 
the Senior Class of the Kirksville Teachers College where she is prominent in school activities. 
She is president of the Home Economics Club, a member of the Delta Sigma Epsilon Sorority, a cabinet 
member of the Y. W. C. A. and a campfire girl of the Oglaga Camp. Her coronation took place at the 
annual Christmas dance. Dean H. G. Swanson crowned her and pronounced her Queen of the Echo. 
The next dance was dedicated to her. Miss Gardner is modest, kind and loyal and her many friends 
are proud of acclaiming her Queen of the 1926 Echo.
