(Front Cover) The ECHO 1921 (Page i) (Page ii) (Page iii) (Page 1) EDITED BY JUNIOR CLASS (Page 2) Dedication TO PROFESSOR EUGENE FAIR Who by unsparing efforts and unselfish devotion of his time has so faithfully served "This Old School" in the capacity of Pedagogue and Statesman, and in general has been so potent a factor in all things revelant to the welfare of the College, this volume of "The Echo" is respectfully dedicated.

Everyone knows that since a human mind is not a cold storage plant, it cannot retain every witicism its collegians said, every good joke his professor "got" on it, neither can this same mind retain a perfect likeness of all classmates and fellow club members. Nor can it have "snaps" of all the pleasure excursions the school participated in, nor can it remember just what this or that department did in 1920-21. To supply this defect in nature we, the Juniors of K. S. T. C. have labored long and tirelessly in our endeavor to give you, the readers of this Echo, the most intellectual, most artistic, most interesting, and by far the snappiest year book the College has ever published, besides to pay tribute to our good friend, Adair County's State Representative. Much credit, for the success of the book, is due the art department and the zealous members of the editorial staff.

SINGLEY, PRESIDENT CASKEY SETTLE, VICE-PRESIDENT ANNA COLLETT, SECRETARY COLORS PURPLE AND GOLD CLASS FLOWER VIOLET DURING the year of 1920-21 history indulged in its favorite pastime of repeating itself. In other words, the class of 1921 was the leading class of the school, just as it was the last three years. Below are its claims to fame: the victory of the football team over the A. S. 0. was celebrated by our being the guests to a picnic at the cliffs that night. Possum stew, roast sweet potatoes and twist was our menu. Later in the fall Mr. Cosby, one of our sponsors, entertained us at his home, great fun was the result. The first victory of the Basketball team over the A. S. 0. was celebrated by a waffle breakfast at night. The president of the student senate is a Senior, the president of the Dramatic Club is a Senior, the presidents of the three Sororities are Seniors, the president of the Y. M. C. A. is a Senior, the president of the Phi Lambda Epsilon Fraternity is a Senior, one of the Camp Fire Presidents is a Senior, the president of the Senior class is a SENIOR:-- In other words seven student organizations have SENIORS for presiding officers. The only five "K" man in school is a Senior, the only member in school of the only undefeated K. S. T. C. debating team is a Senior, the only professional actor in school is a Senior, the Registrar of the school is a Senior. The Seniors have six "K" men in basketball, six in football, four in baseball and two in track. The captain of the basketball team is a Senior, as is the yell leader. Six members of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet are Seniors. The Seniors have more married men than the rest of the classes combined and more engaged girls. One of the clerks in the office is a Senior. Two members of the faculty are Seniors. Two of the school's three Philatelists are Seniors. We have many other claims to name, but I hear the dinner bell, so will close this History. (Page 23) Senior Class Poem Here's to the Class of Twenty-One, Here's to the champion team; Here's to the boys Who have given us joys On the field and gymnasium floor. Here's to the Class of Twenty-One, Here's to our faculty friends, Here's to the hearts That have beaten with ours Thru pleasure and also thru pain. Here's to the Class of Twenty-One, Here's to our 'possum hunt, Here's to the stories That will go down with glories To generations yet unborn. Here's to the Class of Twenty-One; We have brains, We have brawn, We have beauty; We have skill to work with, We have throats to sing with, We have hearts to love with; We have labor to be glad for, We have ideals to strive for, We have strength for enjoyment, And a wish to learn. Then here's to the Class of Twenty-One, To the champion team, To our faculty friends, To our 'possum hunt, To our young heart thrills-- Old School, we bid you adieu. --L. D.

(Page 36) "Peace for the Possums" O SENIORES, magni in scienta, altissimi in orbe, nobiscum venite, nos audite. Querenos saber, was ist los bei ihnen, que vonlez-vous avoir. As freshmen, sophomores and juniors you valiantly strove in upholding the ideals and traditions of our old school. You faced the strum and drang of your teachers' onslaught giving them blow for blow. You feared no one save the common foe of us all, Mr. Jack, president and emeritus of this college and high priest of the padded chairs in the janitor's office. You instructed the faculty at what time they might arise and what time to retire. You made the sun set in the West or East at will. You were omnipotent. You were always greeted with success. The moon and stars shone dimly in your presence for very envy. The world threw open its door and beckoned to you. Your names were spoken with the deepest of reverence and respect. To you life was one splendid round of success and pleasure. No one for you to envy. No one to dare challenge you. Things moved in saccharine harmony. Selali. But alas, bismillah! Allah forfend!-- there came a sadder day. The reverend facultas facultatum teachers called you into their offices for private consultations. You came out harrassed and drazzled. Blow for blow had not been struck as in days of yore. Your teachers sported around at nite as much as they wished- e'en unto the hour of two in the morning. Their alarm clocks rusted in disuse, the one time underlings had learned that after all they were dealing with no olympic gods, but aggregation of pussyfooters', not capable of consummating their highly be intentions. The golden rays of the sun were still shining, but not upon you. You were clothed in leaden, dull and desolate shadows. The storm cloud had completely covered you. You were passed unnoticed. The world withdrew its arm and closed and barred its door unto you. In one swell swoop your vaunted fame lay low in the dust, alas, alack and well a day. Eheu! Seniors. Why, Oh why, ye mighty but fallen ones? Why, 0 Seniores magnorum capitum? Why, sad bachelors and maids, did you never take that projected possum hunt? (Page 37) -37- (Page 38) (Page 39) JUNIORS 1922 (Page 40) Junior Class History Thus far, the Juniors have carried their work nobly forward. Under tne leadership of able leaders, they have accomplished much. The Juniors were organized as a class Wednesday, September 22nd. Hugh A. Vail was elected President, Richard Johnson, Vice-President, and Miss Zerva Cauby, Secretary. The President called a meeting Friday morning September 24th. At this time, Miss Pauline Houston was elected class Senator; and Mr. Swanson, Miss Simmons, Mr. Bray, Mr. Carr, Miss Johnson, and Dr. Reed were selected as class sponsors. A peppy class, well organized, with peppy leaders! On the evening of October 1st, the Juniors hiked out to Dr. George Still's pasture where the evening was spent roasting wieners, toasting marshmallows, telling stories, singing songs, and getting acquainted. Class songs and yells were composed and practiced. The whole-school-spirit was so strong on this particular evening that no stimulus was needed to bolster up class-spirit. (They were ready to participate in the celebration of the victory of the Bulldogs over the Osteopaths as soon as they returned to town). The whole school was entertained by the Juniors Friday night, February 2nd. The entertainers knew the wants of K. S. T. C. students. After soothing their spirits and firing their imaginations with special music and selected readings, they led them thru the dark and mysterious rooms on the fourth floor--up into the roof of the tower. The only event that marred the pleasure of the tower-trip was the losing of one of the leaders. The winter air and peculiar surroundings on the tower roof gave zest to their school yells and old college songs. It was a peppy bunch that descended to eat apples and doughnuts. The history of the Junior Class will not be complete until the pep they have aroused dies out and is forgotten. (Page 41) The Quiet Work The world is full of deeds to do But heroes choose a very few; They choose the kind that people cheer, That makes them noted for a year; But Juniors write, the long hours thru, The ECHO that is read in two. They leave their gift of silent grind For future toilers to find, And do the hard work with a grin; For recognition's hard to win, Between the Seniors, upper row, And strutting Sophomores below. -- B. H. (Page 42) Junior Class Songs and Yells SONGS We are the Juniors of dear old Kirksville, We are the Juniors of K. S. T. C. And we'll heap our school with honors By our yells upon the bleachers and our 'possums up the tree. We'll put the "ho" in the dear old "Echo," And we'll cultivate her standards high, So in the dawn of future ages 'Twill be blazed on hist'ry's pages For the Juniors bye and bye. We are the J-U-N-I-O-R-S We are the peppy class, well! Yes I guess! We are the same that put the "aim" in fame, Always game, Junior Class. YELLS Boom!!!!!!!!!! Give us room We are coming--coming soon. Hippety hah! Zippity Zah! Juniors! Juniors! Rah! Rah! Rah!

(Page 54) -54- (Page 55) Sophmores 1923 (Page 56) Sophmore Class History IN the two years that the class of 1923 has spent in K. S. T. C. they have made themselves famous. They have shown the happy faculty of getting into the game of college life, with a vim that has proved unconquerable by competitors. Sophomores, with their able and worthy president, are prominent in all student activities. We are especially proud of our record in athletics. In the championship football team of 1920 four sophomores won letters. Among these was "Hutch" our all state man. Sophomores are playing a leading role in basketball this season, while other members promise to put the class on the map in baseball and track. A number of the Sophomores have distinguished themselves as artists, musicians, and public speakers. These add materially to the assets of the class as they are continually engaged in class activities as well as in the student enterprises of more far-reaching influence. The men are especially proud of the girls of the class. Out of a phenomenal membership of sixty-five we boast of forty-five "American Beauties," that are unrivaled for beauty, intelligence and charming manners. Our classes in Campustry and Hallology are on the increase. In fact we expect to graduate a few members within the next few months. The above are only a few examples of the achievements of the class. These and many others make the prospects of the Sophomores the brightest of any class within the history of the school. If you want to be in the forefront of progress of K. S. T. C. get into the class of '23 and boost. (Page 57) The Sophmores Here's to the Sophomores! If you need a little cheer They will drive away your fear; The sunny smile upon each face Takes them thru the tightest place, Makes them winners in the race. Here's to the Sophomores! If you want to be in style, Then spruce up and join in file; If you need a helping hand Ask it of this jolly band, They're the best pals in the land. Hail to the Sophomores! They are boosters for their school, Using learning for a tool. And while others take a nap They are up with pep and snap, Each a plucky, big-souled chap.

(Page 66) -66- (Page 67) FRESHMEN 1924 (Page 68) The Freshman Class THERE is very little to write in a Freshman Class History. Many of the brainless stunts which we did during the first few weeks of school we would rather forget -- and many others have become an old, old story. Personally, we think our coming was an inspiration to the man who wrote the "Wearing of the Green." We came from the city and the country; from the hot, trodden pavement of the Metropolis and the green fields of the farm land. All to take advantage of the opportunity offered at K. S. T. C. We have not been slow to learn; any of our venerable faculty can testify to that. For instance we soon discovered that the engine room was a popular rendezvous for devotees of Lady Nicotine; that Mr. Jack, although not the nominal head of the institution, was the power behind the throne; that men were taboo in the Y. W. C. A. room and that the Library was a place of public frolic. Truly, we were soon initiated. The personnel of the class is record breaking in many respects. Our celebrities are many. What could our athletic teams have accomplished without us? Notice us in the football and basketball lineups. Among our notable contributions have been Ben Wells, Tommy Dillinger, "Doc" Dodson, Clyde Dillinger, "Red" Dodson, Walker Reid and many other lesser (Page 69) luminaries too numerous to mention, all of whom were indeed instrumental in upholding the reputation of the "Purple and White." Our girls are the prettiest in school and our men the handsomest. Even the seniors will acknowledge that. One of our members having won the distinction of being called the "Male Vamp." Only one of us has tecome entangled in the meshes of matrimony and this happened so early in the year that the class can hardly be held responsible. Our social activities have been numerous. At these events, many of us have shown remarkable ability in devouring all refreshments in sight and our followers of the Terpsidhorean Art have been given ample opportunity to exhibit their skill. Early in the year we elected our class officers. "Pete Myers," sometimes known as the "Yegg" and famous as a Cartoonist and trap drummer, was awarded the honored seat of class president. Our Vice-President is Mrs. Erma Martin and Nadine Thomas has served well as Secretary. Francis Murrell represents us in that august body, the Student Senate. In truth, what lies beyond for the K. S. T. C. is what the classes choose to make it and what may not the class of 1924 do for their Alma Mater for in its ranks are men and women of character and ability, who have given a great share of their loyalty to K.S.T.C. All Hail The Freshmen!

After the usual formality, Gordon King was elected president, and Leonna Luckett secretary. The following Monday a meeting was held in which Helen Cypher was chosen as our representative to the Student Senate. A committee of three was elected to select four sponsors for the class. At a business meeting some time later Verna Barnard was elected vice president and Ida McFarlan, Miss Yocum, Bruce Houston, Monroe Holman and Hugh Snyder were elected as a social committee. The class has given several entertainments for its members. One of the well remembered one was a class picnic. A group of the class members met in front of the College Cafeteria at nine o'clock. We hiked to the cliffs, where we served dinner and had a very good time, not returning to town until three o'clock. One of the most enjoyable parties was the "Kid Party" given in the men's gymnasium. All were dressed as children from five to twelve years of age. Miss Stewart directed the plays and games which lasted until ten o'clock. The High School Class has been prosperous, and its members have had many good times together. We hope to continue to grow and prosper throughout 1921. (Page 75) High School Class Poem Just think what the old hall would be Without the High School class The group that scatters joy and cheer To every lad and lass. When Seniors grumble at the cold The Juniors are too hot When half the Freshmen want some fun The other half does not. When Sophomores puzzle over Math. And themes quite hard and long, Some sympathetic High School chap Says, "Boys, we're for you, strong." When upper classmen frown at us We know they disapprove-- When they were young they didn't make One single crooked move. If we should leave for a short time And make "old age" supreme The welcome they would plan for us Would seem a heavenly dream. We're just a group of High School folks With High School fun and pranks We'll fill our place as best we can In K. S. T. C.'s ranks. -- N. S.

IN the fall term of the year 1920 the Eighth Grade of the Demonstration School published the first issue of their school paper, the "Junior Index." It was published on the multigraph with the help of Professor Selby and his class. The Seventh Grade joined the Eighth Grade in the publishing of the second edition which was printed at the printing office. That the Junior Index might be truly a school paper the other grades of the school were asked to contribute articles. Thus every grade in the Demonstration School is represented in the publishing of every edition and each child may feel that he has a part in supporting the paper. The Junior Index has meant a great deal to the pupils of the Demonstration School by giving them experience in journalism and teaching them to apply their English work. They have found this paper such an advantage to them that it is their hope that the Junior Index may have a permanent part in the activities of the Demonstration School. (Page 82) The Bullpups Association --EIGHTH GRADE. THE Bullpups Association was organized by the Physical Education Department for boys of the Demonstration School, in December 1920. Four clubs, the Boston, the French, the Irish, and the English Bull-pups compose this organization. The business and sport meetings have been held during assembly time. A basketball tournament was held during the month of January, and the French Bullpups, winning the championship, were presented with a large banner. The Bullpups Association has meant a great deal to the boys by enabling them to get more practice in basketball and by developing a spirit of leadership and cooperation among them. (Page 83) Organizations -83- (Page 84) The Student Senate IN some ways, probably the year 1920-21 has been the most eventful and important in the history of the Student Senate. A number of movements have been set on foot which if carried out as planned are certain to have lasting effect upon the future of the college. The first of these movements was the organization of the alumni and former students of the college into county and city "K. S. T. C. Clubs" for the purpose of enabling them to keep in touch with each other and to carry out valuable programs for the good of each other and the college. The "Index" is to be the organ of communication among the various clubs. Then on December 11, the First Annual K. S. T. C. Football Banquet was held in Library Hall under the auspices of the Senate in honor of the "Bulldogs," who tied for the State championship. It is the plan of the Senate that the Banquet shall indeed become an annual event and the signal for a yearly homecoming of K. S. T. C. Alumni and former students. Probably one of the most important enterprises for immediate results which the Senate has entered upon is the campaign for students for 1921-22 which is being carried on during the Spring and Summer quarters of this year. It is intended that this campaign shall be a permanent part of the Senate's work in future years. There are many boys and girls in this college district who should go to college and who will go if they are shown the advantages of going, but who do not go because the matter of going to college has not been presented to them in a way that appeals to them. It is the purpose of the Senate that the matter of going to college and particularly of going to the best college in the country shall be presented to the boys and girls of this district in the most effective manner possible, which we believe to be through the students and former students of K. S. T. C. This is not an attempt to catalog all the activities of the Senate during the year 1920-21 but merely to mention some of the ideas of service to the Old School which the Senate hopes to see carried out. The Senate is just beginning its usefulness. May it continue to work and attain the position which it deserves. (Page 85) [photo caption] Officers of Student Senate N. D.

A splendid atmosphere and feeling of kindliness was created at the beginning of the quarter by a social given in co-operation with the Young Men's Christian Association, for the entire student body and the faculty. This spirit has continued throughout the year. A few weeks ago a backward social was given in the Y. W. C. A. rest room. Everyone was backward in everything except having a good time. With a desire to do something that would help the students of the future as well as the present to have a good time socially, the Y. W. C. A. under the direction of Mrs. Humphrey built an out-door fire place on the state farm, for use by any organizations of the school on their hikes and picnics. Great stress has been laid on the devotional programs each week. Elsie Post as chairman of the Devotional Committee planned a systematic Bible study. A very fitting program was rendered at Thanksgiving time and a most impressive musical program was given the last meeting before Christmas. The Mission Study Class has met every Friday afternoon with Mrs. Settle as leader. The girls in this class feel that they get much good from the study of other lands and their needs and they appreciate very much Mrs. Settle's kindness in meeting with them each week. The association plans to have two or three representatives at the summer conference at Estes Park again this year. High standards are being adopted by the Young Women's Christian Associations of all the Teacher's Colleges of Missouri and it is hoped and expected that as our association strives to attain these standards its influence will be felt still more even outside our own campus. (Page 91) -91- (Page 92) Y.M.C.A. THIRTY K. S. N. S. young men on March 3, 1896 met and organized a student branch of the Y. M. C. A. Consequently, the Y. M. C. A. has served Kirksville students longer than any organization in school. In 1899 the lecture course was established, then in conjunction with the Association at the A. S. 0. It is run on a small margin of profit, every penny made going back into next years course, after expenses have been paid. Tickets are kept as low in price as possible, making them within the reach of every student. The course opened in 1920 with an added number, the Devereux Players, in a presentation of Ibsen's "Ghosts." In spite of the facts that it has been given two years before, and that a local paper severely criticised it, it made an excellent impression. This number was followed with a concert by Myrna Sharlow, lectures by Maude Ballington Booth and Dean Percy H. Boynton, a concert by Vera Poppe, Cellist, and a concert by Harold Henry. As an independent attraction, on March 7, 1921, as a sort of silver anniversary, the Association brought Arthur Middleton to Kirksville for a concert. At this writing it seems possible that we can secure for another lecture Villigalmur Steffansson, noted arctic explorer. The student body and the people of Kirksville can always be sure of a worth-while series of cultural entertainments through the year while the Y. M. C. A. continues to function. The Y. M. C. A. Book Exchange continues to supply textbooks at lower prices. A large number of books were disposed of at a bargain sale this year. A new activity is the Y. M. C. A. Rest Room. It has been equipped with a telephone, washroom, writing desk, magazines, and games and has (Page 93) proved very popular with the men. By the beginning of the Summer term it is hoped that another room in the tower with a campus outlook will be equipped. When the new building is erected, more comfortable and fitting quarters will be provided. Several successful socials have been held, some of them in conjunction with the Y. W. C. A. The Sunday devotional meetings for the past year have been considered the best and most inspirational in the history of the Association. Gospel Team work is being resumed this spring. The Association, like another fraternal organization, has an emblem, although its meaning is the opposite of secret. The Triangle's three sides represent the Spirit, Mind, and Body, each of which a Y. M. C. A. man tries to develop that he may be of more service to his fellows. The Circle represents Unity, and the all-embracing spirit of the Creator. The Monogram X P is taken from the ancient laborum of Constantine, and stands for Christ. The Book is the Bible, the quotation, John 17:21, "That the three (Spirit, Mind, Body) may be one." A glance at the photograph will show how many of the college leaders are members. Two men were sent to the officers' training Conference in Warrenton, Mo., and a larger delegation, it is hoped will once more represent K. S. T. C. this June in the great Ozark Mountain Y. M. C. A. Summer Conference at Hollister. The Association's officers this year were E. E. Looker, President; Caskey Settle, Vice President, and Charles Singley, Secretary-Treasurer. The President for 1921-22 is Hugh Vail, with A. H. Juergensmeyer, as Vice President, and Charles Henry as Secretary-Treasurer. We are confident that the Association will open its second quarter century of service even more auspiciously than it has ended its first.

E. MUSICK, Treasurer A remarkable thing in the history of pep meetings had occurred. It was so quiet that one could easily have heard the proverbial pin swish through the air in the proverbial drop. Then the air was smitten by a mighty roar of laughter that shook every tungsten bulb in its socket. The Pep Squad had appeared with another stunt! An enormous turkey strode into view, and for the next ten minutes he completely monopolized the meeting. But what, then, is this Pep Squad? In a way it is descended from the Booster Club of former years. It is more nearly related, however, to that ancient organization, the R. O. O. F. During the spring of 1920, the R. O. O. F. was especially active in the support of the Bulldogs. However, with the beginning of the football season the brotherhood had passed on to the Happy Hunting Ground and there was no instrument in the college to focalize the latent-- very latent-- school spirit as it should be expressed in rooting for the Bulldogs. A group of students, (the term student is here used in the masculine sense) with the interest of K. S. T. C. sincerely at heart, saw the needs of the situation, and organized the Pep Squad in order to reestablish the high grade of rooting for which the school has been famous in the past. The first phase of active aggressive support was the massing together of some forty of the strongest male voices in the college pep meetings and games. This resulted in complete team work and utmost effort of everybody in the yelling and attendance. To relieve the tedium of the wait between halves the Pep Squad gave stunts on the field. Not only were the ludicrous antics of the performers highly entertaining but they resulted in a material increase of enthusiasm among the student body. The first stunt was the now historic bull fight staged between halves of the game with the Bluejays. The cheer leader, finding that his efforts were meeting with lessening response, turned to discover the reason; and saw capering upon the field a bull, followed by three men on horses, the like of which had never before been seen outside of the Barney and Bailum Circus! In front ran a very agile youth waving the well known red rag. As he continued to tantalize the uncouth creature, the horsemen, brandishing tremendously long spears, closed in. One was crashed to the ground but before he was gored the animal had been thrown and dispatched by the use of a prodigious sword. Very quickly he was loaded into the butcher cart and the field cleared for the game. The Pep Squad took advantage of the interlude in the Central Game to bury the schools that had been defeated, to the accompaniment of the A. S. O. Band, secured especially for the occasion. Immediately before this the Pep Squad had persuaded an aviator with the "K" banners on the plane's wings to fly above the bleachers. (Page 101) Again during the Tarkio game a hilarious yet very strenuous version of a "football" game was played. Several other original formations were first practiced in this game. "Bosco," the only educated turkey ever seen on the campus, was a feature of the Thanksgiving Day game. A "movie" camera was utilized to film the hunt. The team was always escorted to the train by the student body, assisted by the Pep Squad. By the end of the season, however, enthusiasm was at such a height the student body was quite able to do its own rooting. The Osteopath goat's capture, the realistic and very remarkable game of Basketball up-to-date as well as the Donkey and Elephant reception accorded Mr. Fair on his election, are but parts of the Pep Squad activities. However, even these things cost some money. Accordingly the students generously filled the stockings of the Pep Squad with minor varieties of the Simoleon, and the expenses of the Pep campaign were met. Since Pep is what Bulldogs live on we do not intend they shall ever go half fed again. Keeping ever in mind its motto "All hands on deck" the Pep Squad remains on guard over the school spirit of the K. S. T. C. (Page 102) Pep Squad Roster Milton Darrison Joe King Theordore Waffle T.J.

C. was organized to give a broader view of the field of Home Economics to the students of that department. Experts in related subjects are invited to make talks. The club discusses new developments in Home Economics and in the meetings the girls are given drill in social training. On several occasions the club has demonstrated its ability to do things by helping school activities with banquets and luncheons. This gives opportunity for members to develop their initiative thereby making them more efficient in their chosen profession. OFFICERS Alma Reed, Pres.

Three more beautiful maidens were not to be found in the kingdom and they were loved by all of their subjects. So, when the Prince of Happiness announced that he would choose for his Princess, the maiden who could light the three candles before his throne-- few expressed a wish to try. Not that the test was difficult, for it seemed comparatively easy, but because it was inevitable that one of the three Princesses would prove her worthiness of such station. But which one would it be? Their popularity with their subjects was so evenly divided that their father himself, was puzzled as to which one to send to the Palace first. At last it was decided after much discussion, for as you know to reign in the Land of Happiness is a great responsibility. The rulers must be able to lead their subjects, to love them lest Unhappiness, their clever and devising enemy overthrow their kingdom. "Princess Wealth shall go first," said the ruler. "She is very industrious and Prince Happiness likes industrious people." So Wealth, accompanied by her maid, Industry, went to the Palace of Happiness and straightway to the throneroom where before the Prince she knelt in courtesy. Then with the lighted taper given to her, she approached the three candles which awaited the touch of the real Princess to burst into flame and light the throneroom in all. its majesty. She touched the first candle and its flame burned brightly for a moment then died. It was in vain she tried to light the other two candles and weary of fruitless attempts she returned to her father. "Beauty shall go next," said the ruler, "for surely her subjects love her so deeply she will light the candle without a doubt." So Beauty, with her maid, Conceit, went to the palace. Attempts to light the first candle by her touch were futile, the second burned for a moment and the third was as the first. Disappointed, Beauty returned to her father. "That is strange," said the ruler, "that maidens so deeply loved as you are, cannot light those candles, "but, confidently, it only remains for Youth to accomplish so she shall go." Youth without even a maid, and certain of her attainment went frolicking to the Palace of Happiness. In vain she tried to light the first candle. It would not yield to her impatient touch. So at last even Youth grew tired and returned home puzzled and despairing. Now by this time excitement reigned in the whole kingdom for surely the candles were magic if they could not be lighted by either of three so well loved maidens as were the ruler's daughters. When many other maidens had tried without success to kindle the flames of the candles there came a girl whom no one had heard of before. Her cheeks were tanned until they blended in with the softness of the khaki gown which she wore. "Who is this strange maiden and why should she try?" they asked, "For even the ruler's daughters were unsuccessful." But calmly she made her way to the throneroom. Bowing before the Prince of Happiness she acccepted the lighted taper and as she touched each of the candles, its flame leaped up as if by magic. In the radiance of their (Page 110) light the Prince proclaimed the khaki-clad maiden as Princess of the Kingdom of Happiness for by her touch the three magic candles of Work, Health, and Love burned brightly. "Where did you learn the secret of the magic touch?" the Prince inquired? "It's a long story but you shall hear it," replied the Princess, "I once lived as a subject to Unhappincss and I longed each day to live in your Kingdom of Happiness but could not escape until the good fairy, Wohelo, came to me. She told me that I might evade the influence of Unhappiness and come to live in your kingdom forever if I would do as she bid me. I was to work for the joy of working; keep my body strong that I might more readily serve others and create love, for where there is no love, Unhappiness has full power. After I had followed the advice of the fairy Wohelo I found myself in your Kingdom of Girls so each might lie a Princess of Happiness." "You shall do so if you desire," said the Prince. And not only did the people learn to love their Princess dearly but when she whispered the Fairy Wohelo Secret to them they began to imitate her. And to this day you may see many maidens who wear the khaki gowns and rule in the Kingdom of Happiness each a Princess of the Fairy Wohelo. (Page 111) The Historical Society THE absence of Professor Violette all the year, and of Professor Fair for most of the time, has been keenly felt by the Society, and has detracted much from the open discussion for which the Society, has long been famous. As it was quite likely that meetings held on Saturday morning could not be attended by several of the other members of the faculty, and also by students who might find other work necessary at that time, the hour of meeting for the year was changed to Wednesday evening. As a result the attendance at the meetings has been excellent, and interest was much better. There has been a slight alteration of the character of the programs. Professor Cross, who came to the Teachers College from the University of Wyoming, gave us a very interesting discussion of the attitude of the far West towards the Japanese Question. Later in the year Miss Tatum discussed the acts of the League of Nations Assembly at Geneva, which gave us a connected account of the Activity of the organization. Still later Professor Oppenheim, who came to Kirksville from Columbia University in New York, read a paper on the present Russian situation. It will be recalled that for the past two years the Historical Society has been affiliated with the International Relations Clubs, through which we obtain each year a number of exceedingly valuable books on matters of public interest. Through this organization we also had the pleasure of hearing an address delivered by Baron Korff an eminent Russian authority on the Revolution and organization of the Soveit government of Russia. This lecture was enjoyed alike by the members of the Society, many other students and Faculty members, and by a large number of townspeople. During the year an amendment to the constitution was proposed and adopted, creating a new kind of membership--Corresponding Members. Old students, former members of the society, or teachers of history or the social science in Northeast Missouri. The only duty of a corresponding member is to write an occasional letter to either the secretary of the Society, or some member of the faculty, describing unique conditions in the vicinity where he lives; asking questions as to some method of teaching history which may have proved troublesome, or proposing questions for discussion at the regular meetings of the Society. The object of this change has been, in part, to put the members of the Society in close touch with the problems of teachers in the field; in part to keep connections with old members, many of whom live far from Missouri, and may be able to write us about conditions in a far more effective fashion than that of a magazine.

This year special attention has been given to a study of their religion. We have discussed the gods and goddesses and the myths connected with them as well as the religious life of the Roman people. We have learned to play several Latin games; these were especially interesting. The social life of the Club has not been forgotten for we have had picnics and parties, and are now planning a Roman banquet. (Page 115) [photo caption] LATIN CLUB ClUB ROLL Miss T. J.

H. S. Alumni Club FOR a long time, the alumni students from the Kirksville High School have felt the need of some organization which would partially fill the place of high school activities. In response to that felt need the "K" club was organized in January 1921. Although there has not been a great deal of time for extra activities, the members feel sure that the officers are planning some jolly affairs later in the season. It is the purpose of this club to keep together the students of various graduating classes of K. H. S. and furnish a feeling of being at home and of good comradeship. The membership of the club at the time of organization, consisted principally of members representing classes from 1915 to 1920. Among these members are some who have taught one, two or three years. Others have not taught at all and have achieved the senior year in this institution. Still other members have performed a combination of both activities. As for the continuity of the club, let us hope it keeps on thru future years to welcome and help the students who come here from K. H. S. (Page 119) The Arts Guild THE Arts Guild, which started life as the Cartoonists Guild, is the successor of that formerly flourishing organization, The Art Club, which peacefully expired sometime in the summer term of 1920. Several students, who were interested in the expression afforded by the Graphic Arts, met in the Winter Term of 1921, and organized the present group. The Guild is small in numbers, but active, depending on its own spontaneity, being purely a student organization. Several meetings have been spent in examining, with the aid of the balopticon, exhibits (postcard) from the Art Institute of Chicago. Many of the drawings and mounts in the "Echo" were made by members of the Guild.

March 7, 1921: Registered for a course in Economics, simply from impulse. B. tried to dissuade me from doing so. Said the name was too mystical and high-sounding and that I would never be economical anyway. That irritated my instinct of pugnacity and in sheer spite, I tacked on a course in Government. I realize I'm in for it but then all life is a speculation. March 14th. Whoop-ee! Discovered that this stuff is actually related to the facts of life. Felt rather uncomfortable when the prof, said that economics was the science of man earning a living. That was a little beyond any sensation I ever experienced but guess the prof, is right. I may see the truth of the statement some day. We also took up earning and spending incomes-- although there too I attempted to shine only on the second part. Blushed when we discussed free goods, creative labor and irrational consumption-- although I guess I'm not the only man in the room with a silk shirt to my name. April 4. This is getting exciting. Took up some programs of social reform but to tell the truth, I don't think much of the "isms" whether it's Socialism, Communism or Bolshevism. I don't think there is enough brotherly love to go around as it is and these schemes require a human nature that will make each person as sweet-tempered as Job. Handed the prof, a pet plan of a new society which I would like to see worked out. Neither he nor the class could see much in it. Guess there was something wrong with it. April 14th. Learned some more. Under Socialism the State won't take all one's property-- for instance, in personal property, your tooth-brush would still be your own. Guess I won't ever make a Communist. Under that queer system breakfast would be served at 6 A. M. Why make life harder than it is? And besides I am not accustomed to a 50-50 basis for all the good things of life. Government is going along nicely. Prof, said that liberty didn't mean the right to do as you please altho to follow the Bolshevik activities would convince one to the contrary. Told Dad that government implied compulsion too. Guess he'll see the point when he gets ready to pay his income tax without using harsh language. NOTE : This diary might be continued indefinitely. But whether in 1970 or in 1921, students in Political Science will continue to write them. For Government and Economics simply present principles which are vitally related to current political, social and economic issues. In the language of everyday life, they draw on the interests and experiences of persons who desire to secure a broad background for their everyday activities.

Professor Mark Burrows, now of Greeley, Colorado, was the first teacher. The teachers at the present time are P. 0. Selby, Gertrud Vogel, and Josie Lough-ead. Mr. Selby teaches bookkeeping and accounting, commercial geography, business law, and office methods. Miss Vogel teaches stenography-- the Gregg system-- and supervises typewriting. Miss Loughead teaches typewriting. The Commerce Department has never put on a play, staged an opera, nor held an interscholastio game. It does not come to the fore. The function of a Commerce Department as regards extra classroom activities is conceived to be that of running the shows, engineering the finances, keeping the records, etc. Our Commerce Department functions in this way for many affairs. The typewriters in the department click off the letters, the outlines, etc., for many classroom affairs and many not performed in classrooms. The Office Methods class makes considerable use of duplicating de- (Page 129) vices, such as the multigraph, in printing tickets, programs, checks, and blanks of many kinds. The accounting for many enterprises is done by students and teachers of commerce. The Commerce Department is located in the dingiest and least sanitary corner of Baldwin Hall. The floors are worn out, the lighting is poor, the air is not good. But the spirit of that part of our institution runs high, hopes run higher, and accomplishment is near zenith. Early in the fall the Commerce Teachers, and the Education teachers entertained the Sophomore Class at the home of Miss Doolittle on East Normal Avenue at a Bolsheviki party. It was found on that occasion that Commerce people like to play just as much as anybody else. An organization of a Commerce Club is pending. The class in Office Methods publishes from time to time The Commercial Enterprise, a four-page paper, set up and printed on the multigraph. The class in the fall term of this year printed the first number of the Junior Index for the Demonstration School. This also was printed on the multigraph.

To the high school student it is a place of hard work, dignity (or the opposite, depending upon the student) and for the most part a haven of quiet. To the giddy college freshman it serves as good lunch room and confectionery. To the sophomore, it is a good place for reading current literature and a good club room. To the worthy Junior, it is a good place for digging into musty old congressional files or back numbers of "The Survey," "World's Work" and so forth. As for our dignified seniors, one certainly finds a diversity of opinions. There is a mixture of all attitudes from the high school student on up, with some others added. Some seniors are not acquainted at all with the contents of our library and others pay room rent out in town but stay on "C" floor at the extreme east end of Library Hall. However, considering the situation from another viewpoint, I believe there is not a student of K. S. T. C. that is not appreciative of the splendid effort and organization of the library staff. Conditions are made as nearly workable as it is possible to do so. Taking all points into consideration, we of the year book staff, feel that anyone who leaves K. S. T. C. either permanently or temporarily, cannot but feel a glow of pleasure when he harks back to the hours spent within the walls of the library, whether those hours be spent in real work or in real pleasure, thanks to our splendid corps of workers, who make this such a valuable part of our institution.

Carr, is an organized school activity of great worth. The organization numbers one hundred and seventy-five persons who are not only interested in good music, but who have talent to perform the best in musical literature. The influence of this group of people upon the community is very great and the result is that the membership of the organization is not made up entirely of College students, but of townspeople who are willing to give their time and talent to make the work of the chorus successful. The number of concerts given during the school year is not limited. Consequently, numerous opportunities are open to students and townspeople whereby they may not only gain appreciation of good music, but a broad education in musical literature as well. Every spring the College Chorus participates in a Musical Festival. On June 2 and 3, 1920, assisted by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra and soloists, the chorus, directed by Professor Carr, sang Handel's "Messiah," an oratorio of great beauty and force. The performance was splendid and showed much diligence on the part of both director and chorus. On April 13 and 14, 1921, the chorus took part in the Eleventh Annual Spring Festival. It gave Hayden's "Creation," assisted by splendid soloists of national reputation, such as Marie Sidenius Zendt, soprano, Arthur Kraft, tenor, and Charles E. Lutton, bass, and by the College Orchestra, which was organized and trained by our capable Professor Goetze. The work was a splendid rendition and everyone was highly pleased with the program. (Page 144) The College Chorus--Continued During every summer the chorus performs an opera. On July 20, and 23, 1920, it gave Flotow's "Martha." The performances were highly dramatic as well as musical and were a wonderful success. Costuming and lighting effects were all that could be desired. The soloists were College people and their work was splendid. Ermine Thompson, soprano, took the part of Lady Harriet Durham. Mildred Nulton, mezzo-soprano was her friend, Nancy. Gwynne Burrows and Paul Riggins, basses, were Sir Tristan Mickleford. Professor Carr, tenor, was Lionel. Edward N. Howell, bass, took the part of Plunket. Jimmie Dillinger and Charles F. Link, basses, were the Sheriff of Richmond. Victor Guffey and Gladys McCully were two farmers. Opal Unger, Dorothy Reedy and Katherine Sens were maidservants. These characters were supported by a chorus of about eighty persons and the performances were of the very best quality. A concert of great value and beauty was "The Holy City," an oratorio by A. R. Gaul, given December 14, 1920. The chorus was assisted by the College orchestra and Messrs. Stout and Shaw as soloists. The tone finality Professor Carr brought from the chorus and the precision of the singers were very commendable. The soloists from the College were Mrs. John Howell, contralto, and Misses Ruth McCoy and Flossie Redmon, sopranos. The performance was considered one of the very best that had ever been given. The following are representative of the type of programs presented by the organization: (Page 145) CHORUS Anna B. Collett Mary A. Curtright Norsie L. Redmon Rachael Millie Hazel L.

Perhaps one might say "Kind War" instead, for truly it has been long suffering and taken the blame for all failures since 1917. If the football team or basketball fails to win it is always, "Now, before the war--." We are glad to say that not every department has to use such an alibi. No, the war did not seem to work evil in the English Department, at least not so that the debating team suffered. In fact it would almost seem that the little period of rest was just what was needed. There was new life in the department with even a new Coach, Lulu Durland. The interest one might think would be lacking for there were but two teams and a strong alternate in the class. It was the old story of quality not quantity. Even inexperience seemed not to count, the game was entirely new to all but Russell Mallett. Springfield was met by Russell Mallett and Julia Hanley and victory was assured when Russell, with facts, figures and flights or oratory presented the negative side of the question. No one doubted this veteran would come up to his old standard but few expected him to surpass it as he did, not even when so well supported by Julia Hanley. The work of the home team was of much interest for N. D. Houghton and William Dunn were new at the game. The former had appeared on our platform but the latter was an unknown freshman until the clash with Cape Girardeau. Gaining the decision these two men established themselves in the hearts of the students. These debaters gave us the championship in the league for the first time. It was a doubly welcomed championship for it was the only laurel wreath presented to the old school during the year. (Page 155) -155- (Page 156) The Index THE INDEX has been one of the foremost enterprises in this college for twelve years. It is one of the most vital factors in the lives of our present and former students. The Index is mailed to former students in every state in the Union, Canada and the Hawaiian Islands. Unlike the Echo, which sums up the year's activities in a few pages once a year, the Index gives full accounts of the happenings around the college each week of the year. Professor Warren Jones instructs classes in Journalism each quarter. It is through the continual efforts of Mr. Jones and his classes that the Index is published. It is the dream of those interested in Journalism to have a journalism department in this college with a complete equipment for printing, including the modern printing machines such as the monotype and linotype. With the realization of this dream, the students will not be trained merely to act as reporters and write articles, but they will be instructed in all the various phases of the art of printing.

A. Epperson, chairman, Misses Lena Patterson, Lucy Simmons, Thurba Fidler and Mr. W. J. Bray. This committee, after careful survey, decided that there is a good field here for an honorary fraternity open to both men and women, and so proceeded to plan such an organization. The charter membership was chosen on the basis of superior scholarship and professional promise. On Feb. 19, 1921 the organization was formally instituted and the charter members initiated by the faculty committee in charge of the organization of the fraternity. The name, KAPPA PHI SIGMA, was chosen for the organization. The fraternity is planed along the lines of a national honorary pedagogical fraternity with which the local fraternity hopes to affiliate when its petition has been approved. The first officers of the fraternity are: James Richard Johnson, President; Elma Poole, Vice President; Lois Drake, Secretary; Merrill W. Williams, Treasurer; and Elsie Post, Historian. It is expected that this fraternity will become a powerful factor in the field of education with such promising young leaders banded together in an organization whose tenets are the advancement of the highest ideals and traditions of the teaching profession. (Page 163) History of the Educational Fraternity of Phi Lambda Epsilon Missouri Gamma Chapter FLOWER PINK CARNATION COLORS WHITE, CRIMSON AND GOLD THE Phi Lambda Epsilon Fraternity was founded at Clinton Academy, Clinton, Mo., February 12, 1892. C. F. Lamkin, R. H. McKee, F. J. Nichols, and F. B. Owen organized themselves in December, 1891. By February 12, arrangements had been completed and the first formal meeting of the new Society was held on that date. The first person initiated was E. M. Violette. Shortly afterwards V. W. Lamkin was taken in and the first year closed with six members. In the summer of 1893, a chapter was installed at the Warrensburg State Normal School. In February, 1894, a chapter was installed in the Normal School at Kirksville, and Samuel H. Ellison was the first man initiated. Missouri Gamma Chapter at Kirksville has had the longest continuous existence of any chapter in the Fraternity. Phi Lambda Epsilon now has chapters from Illinois to California. In the school year 1916-17, Missouri Gamma Chapter enjoyed a membership of nineteen men. But when our country was plunged into (Page 164) Phi Lambda Epsilon - Continued War, and the "Call to the Colors" came on April 6, 1917, this chapter responded with fourteen of its seventeen active members. In the spring of 1920, this chapter numbered one Student, Norbert Burns, and one Faculty member, Edward Howell. To these two men Missouri Gamma Chapter is greatly indebted for it was through their efforts that the chapter was revived. Since the revival of the chapter the following named men have been initiated: G. Verlan Bradshaw Dennison Devilbiss Silas Hunt Richard Johnson Glenn Hocker Orvil Davis Charley Singley Virgil Painter Harvey Alderson John Haferkamp Ralph Hanks Levi Markland Jimmie Primrose Emmett Finley Earl Morris Francis Murrell Albert Williamson Claude Dillinger John Neff Eugene Sparling Herschell Thomas Frank Babbitt Ray Dillinger George Caldwell Tom Angus George Loughead Roy Hutchison Clyde Leas Raymond Elsbury Earle Dillinger Old Phi's who have been back at times during the year are: Merideth Vaughn, Cecil Propst, Bufford, Morris, Drury Wilson, and Hugo Gwyn.

He shows partiality towards a certain "Trotter." Why did Paul Miller give up the "Jewelry" business? Miss King prefers a "Baker" to a "Poor" man on Lecture Course evenings. Herschel Thomas' talent for music is a means by which he gets a few sweet notes from a "Clara" net. Harvey Mason arrived at his afternoon class all out of breath-- he had been to a fire in the second "Ward." James Murphy FREQUENTLY spends a "Long" evening on South High Street. Ray Dillinger seems to think that we "Mae" win the basketball series from the Osteopaths. Where did Claude Dillinger go with "Friday" on Saturday night. It is stated that Claude now envies Robinson Crusoe. Miss Nora Toombs now has the agency for "The Rogers" fountain pen. Alma Reid, one of our domestic science students, has distinguished herself as a seamstress; her specialty is "High Pockets." (Page 180) [photo captions] John C.

Z (Page 184) Announcements This book would not be an ECHO of school life if we did not pay our respects to the Announcements, which are such an important part of our daily assembly. These announcements are read by President Kirk or other presiding officers free of charge, though the advertisers' union objects, and declares that announcements are only spoken advertisements and should be charged for at union rates. Our staff statistician has compiled the dope as to announcements and announces these startling figures: STATISTICS There are on the average 14.75 announcements daily, 5 days a week, 48 weeks a year, or an annual total of 3,740. These 3,740 are heard by an average of 713 people per day, and as each one takes an average of 24.6 seconds to deliver, these take up during a year 68,058,852.0 seconds of somebody's time, which reduced to higher denominations is the equivalent of 788 days, or over two years, and are therefore worth $4,000 to $5,000, if some one could be induced to listen to them for 24 hours a day. Of the 713 people who hear them only about 2.75% heed them. Just think of the time and energy thrown away! An average of 69.4% of these announcements were for called meetings. During the past year the ukulele campfire sent up 38 announcements; the terwhoppas 45 announcements; the kulux vampire 32 announcements; (Page 185) the wantakowas 43; the men-o-my-nees 29; the runaways 30; the ilike-caskey 27; the kinuckles 52; all others 55. The prize, a tin ear trumpet, goes therefore to the last named group. Not a single announcement was made by or for try lammin your stepson fraternity, sic 'em sic 'em sic 'em cigarity, the alfalfa cigarettia (you know me, al), or the delta hand to epperson (this is an infringement of your copyright, P. O.), but our new honory fraternity, the apple pies, got across once. The regi* sent up 13 notices which cost 95 cents each, on the average, if you didn't hear them. The 2dtary also sent up 7, but not such expensive ones. The faculty made 73.69% of the announcements or were responsible therefor. Messers bray, howl, and miss fidler of the music dept. were active. Drag reed of the english dept. was often visible. Misses gray, browne and green (t. j. and e.) of the painting dept. were also. The automechanics dept. was occasionally there with the person of dean carr. There was no prize offered. Occasionally the boys send up a fake announcement like when they asked mr. Jamison to speak about what came to his house in february (editor: I really know what words to capitalize, but I've got to get some humor in this somehow), but president kirk won't read the fake ones. When he is down to the legislature or off somewhere getting robbed by bandits these would-be jokes increase in number. This is all I know to write. LAWRENCE D.

When a certain student in this college was asked to account for his attitude towards life, he answered by giving us the following formula, and stating that it had 'wrought' wonders with him and would do the same for any other student who would follow the directions closely. So if you desire to have 'pep' read and live the following: 1. Rise as soon as you get up. By so doing the red corpuscles are excited and confused which in turn will have an effect upon the other person, in which we find the "real" habitant of "pep." 2. Put on your collar and tie before your shirt. This has a tendency to create a disturbance in the brain--of your roommate. 3. Turn on the "gas" or electric light before leaving the room (if both are present you are lucky)! This is the means by which one of the greatest symptoms of "pep," Absent Minded-ness, is found. 4. Go to school without breakfast. This is done because the energy wasted in the digestion of food will be directed towards "pep." (Page 189) 5. Miss classes at least twice a week. This puts the instructor in a pleasant frame of mind. He knows that he is going to get to give an "F." This will have a tendency to excite your curiosity and wrath which are favorable symptoms of "absent mindedness." 6. Forget to eat dinner. This is done so "absent minded-ness" will develop and leave a symptom. 7. Spend the afternoon by hunting a date. If one is found you have a reason to account for one of the greatest benefactors of "absent mindedness." If one is not found you and "dad" are lucky. 8. At about six begin to gather attire (yours or your roommate's) for the date. This is compulsory according to Hoyle and the "social committee." 9. Fill your date and go home. Don't stay late. It's not being done this year. Besides, if you linger you will become more susceptible to "infatuation," or "love," which is an unfavorable symptom of "pep." 10. Reserve a "padded" cell at the institute in Saint Joseph, for that is where you belong for reading this. LOOK OUT. (Page 190) Fond Hopes In 1930 We Hope To Have-- A new building. No noise in assembly. No students who "cut" our daily "little family gatherings." More unmarried men on the faculty, so that the women of the faculty can secure dates without resorting to "our friends across the tracks." A student senate whom the faculty does not control. A few students capable of filling the places of Caskey Settle, Bradshaw, Devilbiss and other famous ones. More E's and fewer P's. Girls who make up their minds, but not their faces. A Home Economics teacher-- Dr. Kirk. A 100% subscription list-- Index. A large number of good-looking boys to attend our dances-- Sorority girls. Seniors, who at least RECOGNIZE that there are other students in school. More "K" men and fewer "K" girls. A key to The Echo office. In brief a perfect school. (Page 191) Won't It Be Different When Mr. Goetze quits telling jokes? Francis Murrell can't wait for Lora Grayce? Miss Kite isn't up in the air at staff meeting? The professors quit betting on elections, (Cars will get off the track). Ray and Mae get over the "Jimmies". The girls quit bobbing their hair? Jewell Walton stops "kidding" the boys? The student council acts in perfect harmony? We have no "assembly cutters?" All the faculty get "pa(i)ges?" Virginia Victor gets to play just one piece of ragtime without getting caught by Prof. Carr? Mr. Biggerstaff loses part of that becoming dignity which never gets away from him. When "Denny" gets in love? Helen Rubison quits asking questions? (Page 192) We Know Fidler-- by her high collars. Doolittle-- by her muff. Wise-- by the way he laces his shoes.

Boys (in hall) including, Baker, Dod, and others. ACT I, SCENE 1 Time: 1:50-2:50 P. M. Place: Latin room, adjoining the large hall in the main entrance. Events: Miss Green is teaching, (or rather, trying) her Horace class. The girls, all gaze out in the hall, where a group of boys are continually passing. Flirting begins, and continues throughout the period. Miss Green, smiles to herself and continues to teach. ACT II, SCENE 1 Time: 1:50-2:50 P. M. the next day. Place: Same as in Act 1. Events: The girls assemble in class as usual. The last bell rings, but the teacher has not arrived. Miss Green calmly walks into the room, carrying a large piece of pasteboard. She places the pasteboard over the door, and begins the class. The girls pay attention to the lesson, while the boys pass in the hall, gazing with great disappointment at the door. (Page 196) The Juniors By evening star and morning sun, The Juniors work 'til work is done; But once care-free There's a time of glee When the Junior class turns out for fun. 'Tis moonlight up the Tower stair, We hear their shouting in the air; And weiners scream By firelight gleam When all the merry crowd is there. And in the Junior class, 'tis said, We have a preacher, chicken fed, Salesmen spry, Crapshooters sly, And a blissful, happy newly wed. The ECHO grows and grows and grows, While Junior ink and effort flows; Thru work or play The Juniors stay Until the last light-bubble goes. --B. M. H., '21. (Page 197) The Freshmen's Song of Life Tell' me not in mournful numbers School is but an empty dream For Freshmen in their rosy slumbers Are by no means what they seem. School is real! School is earnest! And the classroom is their den. "Green thou art, and green remainest," Is not true of all freshmen. Not enjoyment and not sorrow Is our destined end or way, But to work that each tomorrow Finds us "peppier" than today. In the hall's broad field of courtship On the great campus of life's maids Be not like a deserter on board ship Be a booster in the raids. Trust no senior, however pleasant And yet -- never be it said When the faculty were present You were an empty head. Lives of older freshmen remind us There are such a few as we And when Sophomores leave behind us Such brave tracks in the K. S. T. C. Brave tracks that perhaps another Freshman entering here again, A forlorn and despondent brother, Shall have the courage then to win.

What do you suppose caused his death?" Herschel Thomas: "I don't know unless it was his consciousness of inward guilt." In Organic Chemistry class. Thomas: "Mr. Bray, were those socks you had in the Inorganic Class, fiber silk or celluloid?" Some of Mr. Goetze's poetry: When the monkey saw the zebra He commenced to wiggle his tail He said, "I'm not commenting, But there is a mule that has been in jail." Mary had a little chicken. Its feathers were white as snow. The preacher paid a visit And the chicken had to go. In Instrumentation Class Cleta House asked. "What's the most important instrument in orchestra?" Goetze: "Double Bass." Cleta: "Why?" Goetze: "Because he has to stand for everything they play." Goetze: "Have you your new garage built?" Carr: "Why?" Goetze: "Oh, well, you have a new 'Carr'." Ed Howell, "I wonder why this match won't light?" Mrs. Ed Howell, "I don't know, dear, it lit all right for me a minute ago." Stautimore: "How would you like to have a present of a pet monkey?" Julia Whitacre: "Oh, dear, this is so sudden!" A diplomat is one who forgets a woman's age, and not her birthday. Oppenheim: Do you know how to create interest in a class?

DEAR MASSIE: Please send my glasses that you took from me at the dance that night after prayer meeting. JULIA WHITACRE (Page 200) On his return from St. Louis Looker, on account of "crowded conditions" took a seat with a good looking lady whom "he didn't know. Juergensmeyer was sitting behind him. As the porter passed down the aisle, Looker remarked to him, "Sell Juergie some chocolates, he needs them for his girl." The porter passed to the lower end of the car. On his return he approached Looker with "Buy some chocolates for your wife." Result-- Rouge for two-- a la plenty cheap. Two girls were talking to a friend in the library. After he left, one said to the other "I wonder why he doesn't wear a collar?" Mr. Huey, back of the library desk, "I have only one and it is dirty." She replied, "I beg your pardon, I didn't mean you." Then turning to the other girl, "Wasn't my remark terrible?" The other girl, "No, but his conscience was guilty." One bright morning Earl Looker came into the room all smiles. He handed Miss Stewart a book on beautiful homes, saying, "I'd like to have a long talk with you." Overheard in art class. "Yes I do hate to hear slang. When I hear a new girl use slang I just think she isn't worth a dam." Mr. Goetze, "'The Holy City' that's Kirksville, every time you go out at night you get in a HOLE." "Where is Bess?" "Oh, She's singing at a funeral. By the way, speaking of things that burn, I wonder if my china is fired." In sorority meeting-- Anna Mudd receiving check "M-U-D" "Well, that's a dirty way to spell my name!" In staff meeting, Devilbiss to Hannah Whitacre. "Did you hear about Juergie's taking his angel to the 'Holy City'?" Hannah: "Yes, I saw him there." Juergie (having overheard the conversation): "Well, you didn't see Devilbiss there did you?" Hannah: "No, Why?" Juergie: "Because Atterbury (St. Peter's assistant) thought him not fit for admittance." "Did you hear about Miss Brandenburg having such a piercing friendship with Mr. Oppenheim?" "Well, yes, I hear she stuck him the first time she sewed his buttons on his coat." Marie Long, after a baseball game: "Ray made some good hits today." Murphy: "Oh, he is a striking young man!" Mr. Seiberth: "The reason I like Spanish is because it is so Romantic." (Page 201) To Mr. Goetze: "Say, Elsa is certainly a good saleslady." Prof. Goetze: "Yes, I'm going to put her in a Jew store." Raymond Wells to MacReynolds: "Have you seen the Apple sisters?" Mac: "No." Raymond: "Well you should. Tonight Neet has a date with 'Cora' and Dodson, a date with 'Seedy'." Mr. Neff to girl: "Why the Mister? Call me John!" Girl: "Oh, now you know you like to be called 'Mister'." Neff (in a D-I-G-N-I-F-I-E-D manner): "Well, yes I really do-- I'll tell you the reason why, so many people call me 'Professor'." It is true "Some girls are not as bad as they are painted; neither are some men as bad as they are pressed." Found in Mae Middleton's notebook: Please excuse me from school yesterday, as I was sick and had to stay home to darn Ray's socks.

Bright Pupil: "I know, his mother and father were there." A few students have been heard to say that they wished they could go to a real school. If ivory is worth ten counts an ounce, then people for piano key material are worth a million dollars from the shoulders up. Our nomination for the most popular vampire: Miss Pauline Houston. Better name that new Home Economics-Cafeteria-Demonstration School-Stock Pavillion-Auditorium building, the Hippodrome and be done with it. If speech is silver then Professor Bray should be able to hire Rockefeller for a laboratory assistant. At that, Miss Durland would make him look like Germany after she has paid her war debt. A whisper is being circulated to the effect that Professor Stokes was reared on a farm. No Reginald, we are not going to say one word about Professors Violette, Juergensmeyer, Vaughn, Clevenger, McWilliams, Jamison and Goetze supporting the herpicide trust or causing a buying flurry in the market for Mohair tops. Who is that good looking young man? His name is Devilbiss, Oh; no he is not crazy, just the Editor-in-Chief of The "Echo." The modern housewife assisted by the Hair dresser is rapidly putting the Baker out of business; at no time is she seen without, puffs and rolls. A great deal of weight has been added to the department of Education since the employment of H. G. Swanson and the enrollment of T. J. Moore in that department. Where, oh where has my little dog gone? Ask Doctor Bandeen. Any faculty member who fails to attend all pep meetings, regardless of circumstances, will be deprived of the privileges of doing committee work or attending faculty meetings. Mr. Carr (in chorus rehearsal): Watch your punctuation and do not breathe after death. Overheard in the office: Virginia Shouse was tormenting a small boy from the demonstration school. Among other threats which the little fellow made was this one, "If you don't stop I will eat you up." "Oh, will you? There are a number of fellows who would like to do that." (Page 204) Miss Durland's class in Practical English was discussing Community Welfare Work when they were interrupted by a young lady coming into the room. Young Lady, "Pardon me, but may I see Miss Brown?" Miss Durland, "Which one of them?" Young Lady: "Oh--um, I want to see the one in primitive life." Mr. Dalton teaching his soils class: "Berry what is meant by 'symbiosis'?" Berry: "Symbiosis means living together in mutual helpfulness." At this Lloyd Sharp, the newly-wed, crouched down in his chair. Evidently the definition was clear. Miss Virginia Shouse descending the stairs hurriedly was met by Mr. Dalton. Mr. Dalton: "You should not hurry so." Shouse: "Why do you think I am too fat?" Dalton: "Well, um, yes too phlegmatic." "JACK AND GILL" Jack and Gill went up the hill to tap a keg of Home Brew.

THE SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION OF P'S AND F'S Scientists tell us that, because our heads are elastic (like rubber balls) no large dents are made in them, even if they are struck with very hard substances. But it seems that some subjects were hurled so hard, and so long, against the heads of many of the students, that the elasticity was almost gone, consequently many dents were made, resulting in an excess of P's and F's. Barber to Mr. Jamison: "Sir, do you want a shine or a hair cut." Mr. Rothschild has an extensive business on the side, it seems. He is selling quite a lot of Swartz Compound Soap to the bald-headed faculty members. Mr. Swanson even eats it for breakfast, we hear. Devilbiss: "In athletic contests or in any other the boys always like to have the girls behind them." Caskey Settle painting Violethia's lips (as she puckered them up): "Oh! there's too big a crowd here." Mr. Oppenheim is quite fond of the unmarried portion of the faculty-- and- they are also fond of him it seems. With a "cook and a seamstress" to choose from, what more could he ask. EXTRACTS FROM "ROBIN HOOD" Sheriff to Priest: "We want you- there's a couple of couples to be coupled." Drunk Sheriff to his wife (alone): "I can't find you in the crowd."

(Page 207) Mr. Goetze to Cleta House: "Do you study chemistry? I see that they have a fluid now that doesn't freeze." "What's that-- alcohol?" Goetze: "No, there's none of that to experiment with-- it's boiling water." Mrs. Edward Howell let some very valuable information leak out the other day. We understand that she met her "better half" through the matrimonial club, for which Miss Virginia Victor has the Kirksville Agency. Mrs. Howell is ever ready to boost for Miss Victor's company and recommends that the College Girls solicit the assistance of this bureau. Mr. Swanson is quite concerned about his abundance (?) of hair. A vacuum cup has been recommended him, but he is undecided as to whether it will pull into view that hair which doesn't show, or will pull out that which does.

The best of any class in school, as anyone could see And their relation to the school, as Devilbiss did state Was Romeo's to Juliet or hinges to a gate. On Romeo did she depend to furnish her the ring On hinges, I am sure you know, a decent gate must swing So don't you see, the Junior Class is all it claims to be, The positive foundation of our Old K. S. T. C. (Page 209) -209- (Page 210) -210- (Page 211) Football in the K. S. T. C. WHEN we look backward over the pages of football history of this institution we find that the K. S. T. C. made its first appearance in inter-collegiate football in the year of 1903. The strength of the team that year is shown by the following scores. Kirksville 30, Central 2; Kirksville 28, Westminster 0; Kirksville 18, William Jewell 6. In 1904 this school was again represented by a strong team. William Jewell was defeated by a score of 6-0; the Osteopaths were also defeated that year. The next team of prominence was the famous championship team of 1908. This was the first championship team for this institution. Our own coach McWilliams played quarterback on that team. Football was abolished from this school in 1912. For two years K. S. T. C. was not represented on the gridiron. In 1914 it was re-established and since that time it has lead all other forms of athletics in this school. The year 1916 was marked by another championship team. Among the players on this team were: Petree, Dye, Cassady, Paine, Hoff, Ziegel, Neil, Motter, and Cammack. The season closed with a promising championship team for 1917 but the army took too many men from school so that only one game was won that year. K. S. T. C. 33, Maryville 9. In 1918 no games were played, due to war conditions. In 1919 old K. S. T. C. came back once more with a strong team but was defeated in two games. Again bright' prospects loomed for the following year. The year 1920 opened with a game with the Osteopaths on Oct. 1st. It was a hard fought game resulting in a score of 14-7 in favor of K. S. T. C. On Oct. 15th came the real game with Westminster. It was declared by some to be the best game ever played on Kirk field. Score, K. S. T. C. 14, Westminster 0. Central College was defeated by a 6-0 score on Oct. 22. On Oct. 29 the Bulldogs clashed arms with the strong team from Tarkio, resulting in a 7-3 victory for Kirksville. Nov. 5th was marked by a forfeited game from Mis-souri Wesleyan. The largest score run in the conference this year was the one by the Bulldogs against Missouri Valley on Nov. 19th. The Bulldogs having had two weeks rest since the preceding game trampled Missouri Valley to the score of 70-0. The game on Thanksgiving day was played against Warrensburg resulting in a score of 28-0 for the Bulldogs. At the meeting of the Athletic Association in Kansas City a triple Championship was awarded for 1920. Kirksville, Rolla and William Jewell were the three schools of the Conference that were tied. Again we hope for a championship team next year. (Page 212) -212- (Page 213) Football WRITE-UP OF INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS "Dock," (Wallace Dodson) Is a center and plays a good hard game. He "tears 'em up" on the defense. This is his first year in college and he has three more years with us. He is nineteen years old and weighs one hundred and sixty pounds. "Ray," (Ray Dillinger) Is a back field man with plenty of speed. He plays a good offensive game and is dependable. This is his last year in school. He has played two years of football. Ray is twenty-one years old and weighs one hundred and fifty-five pounds. "Virg," (Virgil Painter) (Capt.) This was Painter's second year on the Bulldog team and his first year in the back field. He played a wonderful game at fullback, always hit the line hard and is a hard tackier. He plays the game every minute and keeps in training the year round. "Virg" has one more year with the Bulldogs. He is twenty-two years old and weighs one hundred and fifty-five pounds. "Big Tom," (Tommy Dillinger) Here's a big fellow who plays football for pastime. He's big, he's fast, and he never misses a tackle. He promises to make one of the best ends this school has ever had. This is his first year with the Bulldogs. He is twenty years old and weighs one hundred eighty pounds. "Hercules," (Ralph Cammack) Is our big husky right tackle. He plays football because he loves the game. When Ralph rolls up his sleeves and wades in you can count on something happening. He graduates this year and cannot play any more. He wears four service stripes on his "K" sweater. He is twenty-six years old and weighs one hundred and eighty-seven pounds. "Knobs" (George Caldwell) Played a good game at half this year. His strong points are running back punts and receiving forward passes. A pass never gets by George. This is his last year in school here and he will be greatly missed next year. George loved to "skin the Osteopaths," which he did in every form of athletics this year. He is twenty three years old and weighs one hundred and seventy-five pounds. (Page 214) "Murph," (James Murphy), (Capt. elect.) Here's the man that tears up the line. In his position at left tackle he never let a play "get away" around that side of the line. When he tackles a man you can hear the bones crack. He is one of the best line men in the conference. He was elected captain of 1921 team, which place we know he will fill with the greatest success. This is his second year on the team. He is twenty-one years old and weighs one hundred and seventy pounds. "Glen," (Glen Dillinger) Is a consistent player and a hard hitter. Plunging the line is his specialty and he gained ground through every opponents' line this year. This is his last year in school. He is twenty-four years old and weighs one hundred and sixty-five pounds. "Blacky," (Frank Collins) Is the mouthpiece of the team in his position as quarterback. He made the All State Team this year which shows his ability as a foot ball player. He is an exceptional good ground gainer, always finding a hole in the line somewhere. Blacky has played three years and has one more year to play. "Dave," (David Neale) Helped make the Bulldog team a success this year by his assistance in coaching the line. Dave is a great line man, having made All State tackle in 1916. He instills fight and hard play into his men. "Tod," (Tod Kirk) Is another man that helped make the season of 1920 a successful one. He is one of the best punters in the state of Missouri and the successful punting of the college team is due largely to his coaching. Tod has played a lot of football and knows the game. "Benny," (Bennie Wells) Made All State second team this year. He's our left end and a real football player. Ben has the "form" when it comes to football. He specialized on "busting up" end runs before they got started. This is his first year on the college team. Ben is twenty years old and weighs one hundred and sixty-eight pounds. "Walker," (Alvin Walker) This is Walker's first year on the team and he played a good game at right guard. He has three years in school yet in which time we expect him to develop into a great football man. Walker is twenty-two years old and weighs one hundred and sixty-eight pounds. "Little Tom," (Herschell Thomas) Is a back field man. He is full of pep and fight. He graduates this (Page 215) year so will not be with us next year. Tommy is twenty-three years old and weighs one hundred and fifty pounds. "Doc" Howard, (Howard Martin) Here's one of the two men that kept the boys in shape and helped very much toward making a championship team. Never once did he fail the boys to be at the dressing rooms on time and to stay there until the last man was cared for. Much thanks is due the doctors. "Red," (John Holman) Was coming fine until he had the misfortune to receive a dislocated shoulder in the first game of the season. He was laid up for two or three weeks which was a great drawback to him. Red is a fighter and a good man; he never gives up. He is twenty-two years old and weighs one hundred and sixty pounds. "Charley," (Charley Singley) Could always be depended upon to play his part of the game well. He plays a half back position and puts lots of fight into his playing. Charley is twenty-four years old and weighs one hundred and fifty pounds. "Coach," (H. L. McWilliams) Here's the best football coach in the State of Missouri. He coaches his team to play clean, hard, fast football, which is the kind that wins. He knows football from "A" to "Z". His players hold him in the greatest respect which proves his ability. The success of the teams representing this institution is due largely to Coach McWilliams. "Miller," (Paul Miller) Played a good game at center this year. Center is a hard position to fill but Miller played it with the good old Bulldog fight. This is his first year on the team and we expect much from him in the next three years. Miller weighs one hundred and fifty-four pounds. "Hutch," (Seldon Hutchinson) Here's the big husky that made All State guard this year. He had good reasons for making it for they never run a play through Hutch. He plays the game every second with all the fight in the world. This is his second year on the team and he has two more years of service for K. S. T. C. He is nineteen years old and weighs one hundred and seventy pounds. "Doc Gent," (Aubrey Gentry) Is the other man that helped keep the boys physically fit. Through rain, snow, or sunshine you could always depend on Doc Gentry to be on hand. He did everything possible to keep the boys in shape and they are all grateful to him for his help.

Musick -219- (Page 220) The Football Banquet ONE of the big events of the Football season of 1920 was the Banquet given in honor of the K. S. T. C. Bulldog Champions. This banquet was given under the auspices of the Student Senate, De cember 11, at 6:30 in Library Hall. Almost three hundred people attended to do honor to the boys of the gridiron of 1920. The hall was beau tifully decorated in purple and white. Each of the eight tables represented a football field, with small goal posts at each end and ten-yard lines marked off with purple and white paper. In the center of each table was a large "gold" football representing a game played this year and the score of that game. A few minutes before 6:30 the Bulldogs assembled in the lower hall and elected James Murphy captain for the year 1921. At the appointed time every one was comfortably seated at one of the eight long tables and the "eats" began to "arrive;" and this is what we had: Celery Pickles Veal Cutlet Mashed Potatoes French Peas Finger Rolls Cranberry Jelly Waldorf Salad Ice Cream Devil's Food Cake Coffee Mints With Mr. Kingsbury as toastmaster, President John R. Kirk, J. G. Morgan, Dr. George Laughlin, D. E. Neale, Coach H. L. McWilliams, Captain Virgil Painter made the speeches of the evening. The music for the evening was furnished by the Male Quartet and K. S. T. C. Orchestra. After the banquet dancing was enjoyed in the girls' gymnasium. When eleven o'clock came all departed declaring they had had a most enjoyable evening. (Page 221) -221- (Page 222) THE BANQUET EATS, SPEECHES AND THE DANCE the perfect ending to a CHAMPIONSHIP season.

Although some good material playod on last year's team yet the first year could not be expected to be a winning year. Despite this fact the Bulldogs gave a good account of themselves. This year much good material was out for basketball and no doubt a winning team could have been developed had the Bulldogs been given the advantage of a large gymnasium as many of our opponents had. As it was we won all but two games which gives us cause to be proud of our team. When we get our new gymnasium we will then have championship basketball teams as we now have in football and baseball.

Owing to his height and jumping ability, very few opponents got the "knock off" on him. Looker is a good player and makes many good shots. He has played two years on the team and graduates this year. Ray Dillinger "Ray" is a good forward and a good goal shooter. He never fails to make a lot of goals in every game he goes in. He is a Senior this year and has played two years on the team. Olin Capps "Capps" is a forward and a fighter. He plays basketball with speed and fight. He played every minute of every game this year. George Caldwell George plays a running guard. He is fast and a good goal shooter, his long shots helping us to win many games. George is a Senior this year and has played two years on the team. Glen Dillinger "Glen" plays a stationary guard and he plays the game with fight and pep. His close guarding won victory for the Bulldogs more than once this year. Glen is a Senior and has played two years of basketball. Clyde Dillinger "Clyde" is another big husky center. He has more fight than any man on the squad. This is his first year and we expect much from him in the next three years. Eugene Sparling "Gene" plays a good game and can be depended upon to play his part. He is a Senior this year and his first year on the team. H. L. McWilliams "Coach" showed his same good coaching ability in basketball season as he did in football. He trained his men to play good, hard, clean, basketball. Only the inconvenience of our gymnasium kept him from turning out a championship basketball team this year. (Page 226) -226- (Page 227) Baseball BASEBALL has always been a very popular game in this institution. During the many years it has been played in this institution some great baseball players have been developed and championship teams have been produced. The season 1920 started out looking good for the Bulldogs for many famous players of this school were on the diamond. But despite this fact the first game was lost to Missouri Valley by a score of 4 to 2. Then the Bulldogs came back and won 4 games straight by large margins. The Bulldogs then went up against the strongest team of the season, Missouri Military Academy, and lost by a score of 5 to 4. This was followed by a streak of "hard luck" in which five more games were lost. But again our team came back in the last two games of the season and won from Missouri Wesleyan, first by a score of 3 to 0, and second by a score of 16 to 3. Following is the schedule of 1920: K. S. T. C. 2 Missouri Valley 4 K. S. T. C. 9 Missouri Valley 0 K. S. T. C. 16 Central College 8 K. S. T. C. 7 Central College 4 K. S. T. C. 5 A. S. O. 4 K. S. C. T. 4 Missouri Military Acad. 5 K. S. T.

This fact is demonstrated by the High School Basketball tournament held here at the close of each Basketball season, and by the big High School meets held here each spring. This year Kirksville will have the greatest track season in her history. Four track meets are in store for the citizens of this town and community this spring. The first is the seventh annual northeast Missouri High School track and field meet to be held on Kirk field April 30th. These High School meets are always looked forward to with much interest because some of the best High School athletes in northeast Missouri will take part. These High School meets are held under the auspices of the Kirksville State Teachers College. The second track and field meet will be held between the Osteopaths and K. S. T. C. on Kirk field, May 4th. This prom ises to be a good meet since both schools have a number of good men representing them. The third will be a dual meet between Central College and K. S. T. C. held on Kirk field May 13th. A good showing is expected from both schools. On May 21st will be the big meet of the season. The 12th annual Missouri inter-collegiate track and field meet will be held on Kirk field. Kirksville should make a good showing in this meet because several good men represent this school on the track squad. K. S. T. C. has two old letter men in track this year, Ralph Cammack and Glen Dillinger. Last year the inter-collegiate meet was held at Springfield, Missouri. The following men won letters last year: Glen Dillinger; Glen Hocker; Ralph Cammack, and Louis Unfer. On April 25th the College team will run the Cross County as a part of their training. Monograms will be awarded to first and second places in this event.

HOWARD, Publisher Latimer Bros. Department Store The Store of a Thousand Bargains How to Use the Tooth Brush Leading dental investigators now agree on the following method of teeth cleaning: Brush the upper teeth from the gums downward, and the lower teeth upward from the gums. Do not brush teeth toward the gums, and do not brush them crosswise. Brush the grinding surfaces--clear back--as well as the inner and outer surfaces. The reasons are these: Brushing toward the gums tends to cause the gums to recede. Brushing from the gums toward the teeth massages the gums and tends against recession. Brushing lengthwise of the teeth force the bristles between the teeth. Brushing crosswise tends to pack food substance and film between the teeth without removing it. It cleans only the high surfaces. This means that upper and lower teeth should be brushed separately--the upper teeth with a downward stroke, and the lower teeth with an upward stroke, both on outer and inner surfaces. The reasons are so apparent and so recognized that those who use wrong methods should correct them. Have your teeth cleaned and examined by a dentist at least once a year. Make an appointment for your dental work. If unable to keep this appointment, please notify by messenger, mail or telephone at least twenty-four (24) hours before the time specified. Failure to keep appointments when teeth are treated may cause much harm. All broken appointments should be charged for. Hours: 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. Telephones Office 730 Res. 314 ROSS C.
