LOOKING FORWARD
. . . from a past of seventy-two years you might anticipate a 
great future for our school, especially when you consider the 
changes that have taken place during that period of time. Some 
of these changes have been in the curriculum, in the methods 
of instruction, in organizations, in the students, in the 
administration, in the campus, and even in the college 
yearbook. Through the years from the time of the first president 
and pioneer educator, Joseph Baldwin, a continual growth and 
expansion has taken place in the school along with the progress 
and development of our state and nation. It was in 1867 that 
Professor Baldwin established his Normal School which was later 
to become the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College.
 

(Page 7)

From this humble start the school has risen to be one of 
the leading teacher training institutions in the country. 
This achievement has been mostly the work of the great men 
who in the past have guided the school, such as those two 
late presidents, John R. Kirk and Eugene Fair. Undoubtedly 
the years to come will unfold another great chapter in the 
history of the school. The progressive spirit of President 
Walter H. Ryle, who has served for the past two years, is 
evidenced by the expansion into two new buildings, the 
establishing of a new curriculum, and other forward steps, 
and it is therefore to him that we make this . . .

(Page 10)

BUILDINGS

Ideas thrive in congenial and comfortable surroundings 
and progress results. Among the worthwhile objects created 
at the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College to give 
worthwhile ideas space for growth have been new 
buildings.

When students returned from the Christmas vacation, 
the transformation of $350,000, a plot of ground, and 
architectural intellect was complete in the form of a 
new Administration-Fine Arts building, an addition to 
the Ophelia Parrish Demonstration School, a new field 
house, and the beginnings of a landscaping and 
beautifying program.

Baldwin Hall, the administration building, was a welcome 
outlet for the crowded condition in the older campus 
buildings. Its three-story spaciousness immediately became 
filled with the administration offices, the division of 
language and literature, the division of fine arts, and 
the division of business education. In one wing of Baldwin 
Hall is a theater for productions by the Little Theater 
group. Progress is more than suggested by this building 
with its broad, friendly halls, its sound proof rehearsal 
rooms for music classes, its well lighted art studios, its 
roomy offices, and its general spaciousness.

The addition of sixteen rooms and a gymnasium to the 
Ophelia Parrish School is but material proof of the growth 
of the education division. The construction of the addition 
enables the progressive leaders of this division to expand 
their ideas and carry out their ideals.

With some of the college divisions removed from the 
formerly crowded buildings, work has begun for expansion 
in the remaining divisions.

In a well rounded education the body must be as fit 
as the mind. To help with this ideal the new field house 
was constructed. This one-story brick and tile building 
is on Stokes Field, where football games and track meets 
take place.

An ornamental entrance of Carthage limestone and brick 
has been erected at the north side of the campus, the 
beginning of the landscaping and beautifying program.

INAUGURATION

Dr. Walter Harrington Ryle was inaugurated as the seventh 
president of the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College 
on the nineteenth of May, 1938. Dr. Ryle succeeded the late 
President Eugene Fair and continued the tradition that presidents 
of this college are trained in service on the campus. He was 
a student under both John R. Kirk and Eugene Fair, the two 
preceding presidents.

The inauguration of President Ryle in the seventy-two year 
old history of the Teachers College was a symbol of continued 
progress.

Leaders of all fields expressed well-placed confidence in 
the ability of President Ryle to carry on the ideals of 
progressive education on that inauguration day. Thus far that 
prediction has become a reality. There is a reason to believe 
it will always be so.

An eventful day was the nineteenth of May. The inauguration 
convocation was held in Kirk Auditorium at ten o'clock. Dean 
L. A. Eubank presided and Dr. Sidney Clarence Garrison, president 
of George Peabody College for Teachers, gave an address. The 
president of the Board of Regents, Judge James A. Cooley, gave 
the charge to the new president, and Dr. Ryle gave the inaugural 
address. Thirty-nine visiting colleges and universities were 
represented at the inauguration.

Congratulations were offered by Dr. Ryle's classmates of 1916, 
presidents and other administrative officials of the visiting schools, 
the faculty of the Teachers College, townspeople interested in the 
growth of the college, various friends of Dr. Ryle, Governor Lloyd C. Stark 
of the State of Missouri, and alumni and former students under the 
new president.

After the inauguration there was a corner-stone ceremonial at the 
new Baldwin Hall. Lloyd W. King, state superintendent of schools, presided 
and Governor Stark gave an address. Following the corner-stone 
ceremonial, the Class of 1916 were guests of President and Mrs. Ryle 
at a luncheon at the Masonic Temple. That afternoon President Ryle 
conferred degrees upon the graduating class. That evening there was a 
banquet, followed by a reception and Inaugural Ball.

BOARD OF REGENTS
By their works ye shall know them. Tested by this axiom the 
Board of Regents of the Teachers College appears most 
favorably. From this group comes approval or rejection of 
ideas concerning policies and plans to be used in the further 
development of the College. The fact that the College 
definitely has improved and is now in the midst of a March of 
Progress proves the mettle of the Board of Regents. In a 
commendable manner the six members have taken the responsibility 
of guiding the policies of the school.

PRESIDENT

Continued growth in the well-being and prestige of the 
Teachers College has again been assured by the progressive 
leadership of President Walter H. Ryle in his second year 
as chief administrator.

President Ryle's selection carries on the excellent 
work started by the late presidents John R. Kirk and 
Eugene Fair. His appointment is in keeping with the 
tradition of this school that the president shall have 
been trained under the preceding president, thereby 
enabling him to continue progress smoothly.
 

(Page 18)

ADMINISTRATORS

The college is composed of a fourfold administrative set-up 
with the president heading the groups. Besides Dean Eubank, who 
is in charge of instruction, each of the other divisions has 
a head who is responsible for the functioning of his department.

First is the division of personnel service headed by 
Mr. N. W. Rickhoff, who deals with the personal problems 
of students and relationships between the students and 
the school. Included in this division are the guidance 
bureau under Dr. C. W. Martin, and the dean of women, 
Mrs. S. H. Ellison.

Next is the division of extension service under 
Mr. J. T. Angus which is made up of four bureaus: field 
service, in which Mr. Stanley Hayden visits and serves 
the high schools of the district; correspondence and 
extension

ADMINISTRATORS

teaching under Mr. W. S. Pemberton assisted by Noah Richardson 
who sees to the grading and accrediting of nonresident students; 
placement under Mr. Angus who aids in the placing of graduates 
and alumni in teaching positions; alumni activities under 
Mr. Clifton Cornwell who keeps a record of our alumni and 
their activities.

Mr. Henry Enochs heads the business office and is responsible 
for the maintenance of grounds and buildings. The stenographic 
office where tests, syllabi, and class materials are typed, is 
also directed by the business office. The janitors, organized 
under the business office and headed by Mr. Howard Vickroy, keep 
the buildings clean, while a competent crew of carpenters and 
engineers see to repairs needed to keep the plant in condition.
 

(Page 20)

Libraries

A most cosmopolitan group is served by the various divisions 
of the Teachers College library. There students, professors, 
instructors mingle freely. This year the library has expanded 
and now includes a new periodical room for magazines and 
current newspapers and a room devoted to children's literature 
and Missouriana. Improvements have been made in the main 
library in Pickier Memorial Building, in the library at the 
Ophelia Parrish Demonstration School, and in the library at 
the Greenwood Demonstration School.

A fund of $6,000 was received by the Teachers College 
from the Carnegie Foundation to assist in buying new books 
for the libraries. The endowment, which is in addition to 
the usual state fund given for the purchase of new books, 
must be used within the next three years.

To Miss Ethel Hook, director of libraries; Miss Sylva Brown, 
librarian; and Miss Clara Yadon, cataloguer, go the responsibility 
for guiding an efficient part of the Teachers College.

DEMONSTRATION SCHOOLS

When Joseph Baldwin founded his academy for teachers he 
did not overlook the need for actual experience in the 
classroom. He provided a model school in which students 
of all ages and grades were enrolled. Today two large 
schools are provided for the observation and practice 
teaching of Teachers College students.

Greenwood Demonstration School is modern not only in 
its plant but in its methods of teaching. Here, under 
the direction of Dr. C. H. Allen, sixty-hour students 
and elementary education majors observe the work of 
experienced teachers and put into use some of the theories 
learned in the class room.

The Ophelia Parrish School, directed by Mr. Felix Rothschild, 
is the center of demonstration projects. Much of the practice 
teaching of college students is done in this junior high 
school, which has 525 enrolled.

The modern idea of integration is carried out in the 
demonstration schools. With social science as a core 
subject, several projects are now being carried on with 
other subjects taught around the core, especially emphasizing 
their effect on man and his civilization.

STUDENT COUNCIL

Since 1912 the Student Council of the Teachers College 
has been participating in the government of student 
affairs. All activities receive the attention of this group 
of fifteen students who meet every week. The council duties 
include collecting activity fees, arranging All-School 
dances, assisting in selecting and paying for assemblies, 
aiding in plans for the All-School carnival, and securing 
picture shows.

This year the Student Council president is John X. Waters 
and the treasurer Wendell Gudka. Professor J. W. Heyd is 
the faculty sponsor.

DEAN

A prime reason for the consistent clicking of the Teachers 
College need not take a paragraph for explanation. A name 
mentioned is sufficient if that name is Dean Louis A. Eubank.

A typical day for Dean Eubank might find him securing 
another excellent assembly program, interviewing prospective 
degree takers, dictating the usual letters, assisting a 
faculty committee, and helping arrange curricula for coming 
quarters and sessions. All activities are carried out in a poised 
manner that comes from experience and a well integrated personality.

BRUSH AND CANVAS

The Art department, besides turning out a new group of 
art teachers each year, also gives its students the foundation 
they need should they desire to study art in a special school 
with the idea of becoming professional artists.

During the course of each school year the department 
sponsors three small and one large art exhibit loaned by 
the American Federation of Arts. The Teachers College 
is a member of that body.

When you walk through the rooms of the art department in
its new home on the third floor of Baldwin Hall, you are literally
surrounded with color. In one room students are designing
costumes and sets for famous plays such as Hamlet or Macbeth;
on one wall is a mural depicting a negro lodge meeting; an
easel supports a portrait of a classmate done by an art student 
working in oils.

In another room a class is studying design and working out
original figures and plates for wallpaper and tapestries, while
another group is busy with miniature looms weaving what
resemble abbreviated versions of Indian blankets, and making rugs.

HAMMER AND SAW

The Industrial Arts department of the Arts Division provides 
a comprehensive training for potential Industrial Arts teachers 
and craftsmen. Under the supervision of Professor B. W. Leib, 
the department offers courses along four lines: drafting, 
woodworking, metalworking, and educational theory. In the first 
three a foundation may be laid for one or more vocations such as 
architect, engineer, machinist, carpenter, or designer.

If a student wishes to become a draftsman, he may receive 
instruction in mechanical drawing, machine drawing, architectural 
drawing and design.

The woodworking shop provides opportunity for the student 
to develop skill in the working of wood. He produces articles 
such as tables, chairs, stands, and desks for practical use 
in the home.

In the metalworking shop there are engine lathes, forges, 
drills, grinders, electric welding equipment, and tools for 
pipe fitting and for sheet metalworking. Many of the shop 
products have high practical value.

SHARPS AND FLATS

Music is an important element in education. Society everywhere 
recognizes that music is not merely a pastime, but that a knowledge 
of music is considered one of the essentials of a well-educated 
individual.

The music department has a threefold purpose: first, to 
provide a thorough, comprehensive course for those wishing to 
become teachers or to those entering a professional career; 
second, to offer to students cultural courses that may be combined 
with the complete literary course in the college; and third, to 
give to the college community cultural advantages.

The Teachers College, long recognized as a college with an 
exceptionally strong music department and faculty, is making 
progress and keeping abreast of the times.
 

(Page 29)

The music department housed in new Baldwin Hall has 
all the facilities of a well-rounded department. New 
sound-proof practice rooms, new pianos, a large new 
practice room for choir, band and orchestra, together 
with a group of music enthusiasts, is bound to have an 
effect on the college.

Whether it be training on an instrument, vocal 
lessons or courses in the theory of music, the music 
department fills every need. Professor J. L. Biggerstaff 
and Mr. Kemble Stout are in charge of piano instruction. 
To Dr. Barrett Stout and Mr. R, E. Valentine belong the 
job of training voices. Mr. Karl Webb is leader of the 
band and teaches courses in strings and brass. Mr. John Goetze 
instructs in the instrumental section.

With the ever increasing problem of leisure time, music 
is becoming an important factor in community life. The music 
department wishes to so enrich the lives of the student body 
that they may not only appreciate the more beautiful in 
music, but may also be able to participate in its performance.

UNITS AND TESTS

The Division of Education lends to the Teachers College the 
distinction of being a professional as well as a liberal arts 
school. The purpose of the division is to prepare students to 
become teachers capable of making practical the educational 
theories taught in the division. To assist in bridging the gap 
between theory and practice, the Teachers College has two 
demonstration schools for practice teaching. Dr. C. H. Allen is 
the director of the Greenwood Demonstration School and 
Professor Felix Rothschild of the Ophelia Parrish 
Demonstration School.

Fortunate is the Division of Education in having as its 
head Dean L. A. Eubank. Under his leadership, members of the 
division have made a study of required courses in education 
and have eliminated many duplicated units.

Instructors in the Division of Education are Dr. L. A. Eubank, 
Dr. C. H. Allen, Miss Jane Crow, Mr. Stanley Hayden, Miss Ethel Hook, 
Dr. C. W. Martin, Miss Sallie Pattinson, Mr. N. W. Rickhoff, 
Mr. Felix Rothschild, Miss Willie Whitson, and Miss Leona Decker.

RECIPES AND PATTERS

The Department of Home Economics represents the oldest institution 
in the world, the home. Its courses present not only classes in 
dietetics and food problems, but also give practical experience in 
home management. Classes in textiles, care and training of the child, 
and costume design round out the program.

Home Economics is an ever broadening field and its curriculum 
is constantly changing. Now, as ever, home economics involves the 
study of foods and clothing, and too, the subjects of chemistry, 
sociology, art, and economics.

The home management house affords a practical laboratory for 
the practice of household arts. Here the girls are confronted with 
the duties of real home life.

Recently a course, "Problems of Everyday Living," has been 
added to the curriculum. Several boys have taken the course and 
have found it highly valuable.

Dr. Llora MaGee, head of the division, teaches the household 
arts; Miss Minnie Kennedy teaches the household science courses.

SAY AH!

The Health Department offers complete training in health 
education from the teacher's standpoint. It offers ten hours 
in departmental education alone. It equips teachers in both 
health examination and supervision and administration. Also 
it maintains a clinic with modern medical equipment free 
to students.

The chief aim of the department, aside from equipping 
students with technical knowledge, is to show the correlation 
between mental and physical health and the interdependence 
of the two as a basic element of success.

The department is headed by Dr. C. R. Green who is assisted 
by Miss Alma Zoller, R.N. and B.S. in Health Education. Miss Zoller 
is in charge of laboratory work, assists in health examination, 
and teaches several classes. Dr. Green heads the clinic and teaches 
administrative courses.

BRAWN AND POISE

Misses Frances Fuller and Margaret Ruth Jones are in charge 
of the women's physical education department. One of their main 
functions is to offer adequate physical training and development 
for every girl in college. They strive to develop skills and 
attitudes to train college girls to live more happily.

Coaches Earl Svendsen and Malcolm Eiken head the men's physical 
education department. Besides the required physical education 
course for freshmen, courses in administration and theory of 
teaching physical education are offered for those getting majors 
or minors in this field.

Tumbling, basketball, volleyball, aerial darts, badminton, 
tennis, and football are the major sports studied in this 
department.

DEBITS AND CREDITS

After climbing to the third floor of Baldwin Hall and turning 
to the right we find the Division of Business Education. The 
division is headed by Dr. P. O. Selby, whose teaching came after 
school studies and actual business experience. In his work of 
adviser to aspiring business teachers, Dr. Selby emphasizes that 
they must know their skills better than the students they are 
to teach know them.

Miss Freda Bruns and Miss Ruth L. Roberts complete the list 
of full time business education teachers. Miss Bruns' interest 
in business is held by the parade of new, time-saving devices. For 
instance, she is interested in the simplified typewriter keyboard 
and vertical and visible filing cases, which are being introduced 
in the business field. She feels the commercial field is also a 
field of extraordinary opportunity at present because of the 
expansion and creation of government agencies.

Miss Roberts' first love was Latin and Greek, but when her 
sister came home from college and could type, her interest in 
languages gave way to the typewriter, adding machine, and 
calculator.
 

(Page 35)

NOUNS AND VERBS

Besides the regular courses in English and American 
literature, and in composition, a unique course planned 
and taught by Dr. Nan E. Wade and Miss Vera Fawcett is 
included in the Literature and Language division. Organized 
in units centering around character traits rather than 
around countries or periods, the world literature course 
acquaints students with some of the best literature of the 
world and at the same time is a powerful influence on 
character building.

Especially fortunate is the College in its instructors 
of modern languages. German is taught by Mr. J. W. Heyd, 
who has spoken German as well as English all his life. 
Miss Wade, who teaches French, has been well qualified for 
her position by living a year in France. She holds her 
doctorate in that subject. Although the demand for Latin has 
greatly decreased, small classes still study Virgil and Horace 
under Miss Viola Magee's instruction.

Working on the principle that writing cannot be learned 
from a text book, Miss Agnes Slemons requires practically 
an essay

a day from students in advanced composition classes. Freshman 
composition is taught by the laboratory plan. Its main purpose 
is to teach incoming students the best methods of study by use 
of outlining, how to write an examination, and how to do 
research and write a comprehensive paper on their findings. This 
year those assisting in this work are Misses Viola Magee, 
Agnes Slemons, Berenice Beggs, Vera Fawcett, Dr. Helen Ogg, 
and Mr. S. J. Collins. They attempt to develop each student 
according to his needs.

Although its primary purpose is to train speech teachers, 
the speech department also aids students with defects in speech 
and trains all students how to add resonance and modulation to their

voices. Miss Ruth Curtis, Messrs. Clifton Cornwell, 
E. S. Avison, and S. J. Collins, the speech faculty, are 
also vigilant in their search for students who are likely 
to succeed in professional speech work.

Special training in the methods of teaching English 
is given English majors by Miss Berenice Beggs. She also 
directs and assists English majors in their practice 
teaching.

Mr. J. W. Heyd heads the Literature and Language 
division as well as teaching German and certain English 
courses. The division is ranked as one of the strongest 
in the State and turns out strong teachers.

ATOMS AND MOLECULES

Future teachers of agriculture, biology, chemistry, 
physics, and general science along with the engineers, 
doctors, and dentists of tomorrow gather over microscope 
and test tube and perform experiments and observe the 
reactions of the scientific world.

Seven faculty members devote their time to the 
teaching of courses in the science division. Mr. Norvell C. Allen 
is full-time instructor of agriculture; with Messrs. J. S. Stokes 
and Charles Noble part-time instructors in the same department. 
Dr. Willis J. Bray, who is head of the entire science division, 
also heads the chemistry department. Dr. Wray M. Rieger also 
teaches chemistry. Dr. Frank H. Trimble teaches physics. 
Dr. Lewis Clevenger is head of the biology department.

Besides the courses falling in four departments, a course 
in general astronomy is offered by Mr. J. S. Stokes, and two 
in geology by Dr. Rieger.

Much of the instruction of the division of science is 
done by the laboratory method. There are five different 
laboratories, two for chemistry, and one each for physics, 
biology and agriculture. Here amid an atmosphere of hydrogen 
sulfide or embalmed cats, work is carried on in the footsteps 
of Mendel, Pasteur, Darwin, Newton, Galileo, Mendeleef, 
and Mosely.

With more room in the Science Hall since the opening of 
the new buildings the department soon expects to double 
its laboratory space by expanding into the former art 
rooms. This division has been especially crowded.

Mr. Rieger

The records established by the science majors of this 
college in graduate schools of different mid-western 
universities may well be a source of pride to the 
instructors of science. They show that a sound basic 
training in science was obtained here.

In conjunction with the recent development in 
the Teachers College, that of two years general 
college work before any professional work is 
undertaken, the science division offers "Man and 
the Scientific World", taught by Dr. W. J. Bray. 
This course, required of all students, is intended 
to give a survey of and orientation in the fields 
of science.

ONE PLUS TWO

That very necessary division of study, mathematics, 
is headed on this campus by Mr. G. H. Jamison. Speaking 
on the history of the subject, he says that it has been 
an essential background of civilization. From both 
necessity and interest every nation has developed, 
throughout the past, its own system of mathematics.

Mr. Jamison sees, aside from the material value 
of mathematical knowledge, a chance to acquire habits 
of thinking which can and should be carried over into 
daily life.

Mr. W. S. Pemberton, professor of mathematics, 
echoes those ideas. Mr. Pemberton believes that even 
if students don't get the right answer when working 
problems, they should get habits of neatness, accuracy, 
logical thinking, and concentration. The answer fits 
only one specific problem, but those traits are at a 
premium anywhere.

DATES, FACTS AND LAWS

Over 3500 hours each school year are spent teaching 
in the classroom by the nine members of the social 
science faculty. Considering the students who take 
these classes, the equivalent of about thirty years 
is passed in the classrooms each nine months.

The past year has seen the social science division 
grow in both personnel and building space. Two new 
members were added to the faculty, and moving of 
other divisons left the Pickier Memorial Library Building 
to social science.

Heading this division is Dr. C. H. McClure, who 
teaches history and political science. Dr. McClure 
has spent brief periods
 

(Page 43)

on the campus the past two years due to leaves 
of absence.

Miss Lucy Simmons has served as acting head of the 
department during Dr. McClure's absences. Her special 
field is American History. Once each week she speaks on 
current-world affairs to five hundred students.

Classes in European and Oriental history are taught 
by Dr. Glenn V. Burroughs. When not hunting teaching 
jobs for Teachers College students, Mr. J. T. Angus 
teaches classes in "Background of the Modern World." 
Dr. V. Don Hudson is on the social science faculty as 
instructor of political science, emphasizing governmental 
functions rather than organization.

Economics and sociology classes under Dr. Clara Clevenger 
stress our complex economic and social organizations. 
Miss Mary Frances Jensen, new this year, in her geography 
classes stresses less the remote and unusual and more the 
natural, common, but vital things. Dr. F. D. Hewitt, our 
other new social science teacher, conducts classes in 
"Background" and in religious education where the student is 
equipped to meet community problems.

Mr. N. W. Rickhoff teaches a social science class, 
"Problems of the Modern World."

was the deciding factor. The Carthage College eleven 
came to Stokes field and went home with a 3-0 victory.

Tackling the first of the M. I. A. A. foes, the 
Bulldogs roared through the Springfield Bears 20-0. 
Gregory was the "Dogs" big offensive punch, while 
the entire Bulldog forward wall lived up to its 
standard.

Coach Svendsen, with his band of determined warriors, 
next attacked the Cape Girardeau Indians. The Redmen had 
won sixteen straight games, and had not been scored upon 
in the last eleven until the Bulldogs were turned loose. 
The Purple and White annexed a thrill-packed struggle 
7-3. Co-Captain Roark crossed the pay station from the 
three-yard line in the first quarter. Injured Co-Captain 
Yaskiw was quickly shot into the game for the extra point 
conversion. Gregory, Atwood, Landrum, Parsons, and Ward 
contributed to the Bulldog cause.

The later-to-be champions of the conference, the 
Maryville Bearcats, clawed the Bulldogs into submission 
26-7. The seven
 

(Page 49)

points of the Kirksville eleven was the only marker 
scored by a conference team against the Bearcats.

Rolla next and a 6-2 loss in a cold, rainy, muddy 
struggle with the Miners. Tadd, Rolla all-conference 
halfback, grabbed a pass for the first quarter 
touchdown. The two points were a bit of strategy on the 
part of Rolla, by a safety granted in the closing 
minutes. "Pets" Grisamer and Gregory were outstanding. 
Jack Mills, center, was forced to leave the game with 
a sprained ankle.

The Bulldogs fell before the Mules 20-14. The wide 
open affair saw Grossnickle, Bulldog fullback, show his 
heels to the stubborn Mules twice on two late-game razzle 
dazzle touchdown gallops.

The Lions of East Texas Teachers were last on the 
menu for the Bulldogs. The Lions ganged and out-classed 
the Kirksville eleven for a 52-0 count.

WE SCORE

BASKETBALL

Eight returning lettermen and two new coaches helped to shape 
the destiny of the 1938-39 basketball season. In the Missouri 
Intercollegiate Athletic Association the Purple and White basketeers 
finished fifth as they have for the past four seasons.

The Bulldogs opened the conference on the road and defeated 
Rolla in a breath-taking 25-22 battle on the Miners' court. Returning 
home the Bulldogs played host to Springfield, Maryville, Cape, 
and Warrensburg, all in less than two weeks. The Springfield attack 
smothered the Purple and White cagers in a 42-33 melee. Four 
nights later the College Champs from Warrensburg hung the worst 
of all the season's lickings on the Kirksville club by 34-13.

Coach Eiken's men seemed to regain some of their lost life as 
they struggled with the Maryville Bearcats on even terms for 39 
minutes only to lose in the last few seconds by a 26-25 margin.
 

(Page 51)

The Kirksville team, with morale badly warped, swung 
over the western side of the league to challenge the 
two league leaders, Springfield and Warrensburg. Springfield, 
via Russell, amassed 37 points while the Eiken men 
garnered 21. The following night at Warrensburg the Bulldogs 
fared badly in the closing minutes to take the short end 
of a 35-28 count.

Returning to the Kennel the Bulldogs halted a seven game 
losing by trouncing the last place Miners 38-25. With only 
one conference game remaining the Bulldogs embarked for 
Maryville with four seniors playing their last college 
game. There Kirksville defeated the Bearcats in a hard 
fought 30-29 contest.

In the city series with the Osteopaths the Bulldogs broke 
even with one win and one loss. The first contest was won 
in Kirk Auditorium 37-21. In the return engagement at the 
Osteopath gym the Doctors garnered a 24-23 win.

Four seniors, Honorary-Captain Morse, Leonard King, 
Elmer Osborn, and Charles Fox completed their 
competition this year.
 

(Page 52)

NON-CONFERENCE GAMES

Six non-conference games were on the Bulldogs' schedule. 
The Kirksville crew lost four and won two of the encounters.

The Stickler Cardinals were the first to fall 26-18 
in the opener for the Bulldogs. The Culver-Stockton Wildcats 
were not so tame when they clawed the Bulldogs 28-26 in 
Kirk auditorium.

The Stickler Cardinals won a 42-38 victory over the 
Bulldogs. The Culver-Stockton Wildcats, the next 
non-conference foe, licked their chops over a well 
earned 32-30 victory.

TRACK

The 1938 Bulldog cinder men, with Coach Woodrow Rider 
at the helm, launched into the season last spring in a 
dual meet with the Warrensburg Mules. The Kirksville 
thinly-clad athletes were run over 68-54 in the Mules' 
home lot. "Frosty" Schwengels and Lammers shone for 
the Bulldogs.

Chillicothe and Moberly Junior College were defeated by 
the Bulldogs on the home track. Lammers and Wills ran the 
century dash in less than ten seconds. Nelmark and Ward 
won over a large number of entries in the two-mile event.

Culver-Stockton was romped on 80-42 by the Bulldog 
charges on Stokes Field. Seitz emerged with a mark 
of 51.9 in the 440- yard dash.

Rolla next drilled the Bulldogs 66-56 on the Miners' 
track. Lammers won the century and 220-yard dashes. Kirksville 
finished fourth in the M. I. A. A. outdoor conference meet, 
being nosed out of third by Maryville 20-19.
 

(Page 55)

INTRAMURALS

Coaches Malcolm Eiken and Earl Svendsen, with the assistance 
of Student Manager Leonard King, administered an intramural 
program this year.

During the summer session the softball tournament was won 
by Elmer Osborn's charges. The four-way race proved interesting 
to the final out of the last game.

The fall quarter went without intramurals, both coaches 
concentrating their efforts on football.

In the winter quarter program Bob Roark's basketball team 
won the championship from a field of twenty entries. 
Roy Phillips' club won the volleyball tournament, while Ray Roberts 
won the ping pong singles tournament and the Roberts-King 
entry the doubles.

The two hundred participants in the men's division give 
an example of the interest and enthusiasm shown in the 
intramural program. Seventy men were entered in the various 
four spring quarter softball teams.
 

(Page 56)

WOMEN'S ATHLETICS

Miss Frances Fuller and Miss Margaret Jones have 
worked out an especially wide program of physical 
education activities in dancing and athletics. In the 
dancing activities, folk, tap, and modern dance are 
offered. Sport and recreational activities vary with 
the seasons. The most popular of these are archery, 
badminton, tennis, rifle, and hiking. Other activities 
offered are skating, volleyball, basketball, baseball, 
volleyring, bowling, shuffle board and ping pong.

A complete major program giving a combination major 
in health and education includes three quarters of 
freshman physical education, and the same number of 
quarters in theory and practice of women's athletics, 
dance, and education. This pro-
 

(Page 57)

gram also includes one quarter of folk, tap, and modern 
dancing, Girl Scout recreational leadership, gymnastics 
for women, school games and ten hours of health.

In addition to requirements for majors, an advanced fourth 
quarter of dance and education, materials of design and 
composition in the field of modern dance are offered as is 
also the teaching of physical education.

An attempt is made to make the courses applicable to 
teaching problems that the students will meet. This is 
accomplished in the sports classes by requiring physcial 
education majors in a theory and practice class to plan 
arrangements for each quarter's intramural tournaments. 
They also officiate at games.

In school games there is close cooperation with the 
staff of the Greenwood Demonstration School, particularly 
good for observation in the first and second grades.

Girl Scout and recreational leadership classes organize 
practical work that may be done in the quarter. This includes 
participation in camping and outing activities, and 
cooperating with local Girl Scout units.

BLUE KEY

The primary function of the Blue Key Honorary Fraternity 
is to provide service to the school by a variety of 
activities.

Each year the organization sponsors a dance and gives the 
proceeds to the Eugene Fair Memorial Loan Fund. An additional 
dance was sponsored this year to raise money for the 
John R. Kirk Memorial Fund. In the fall quarter the members 
act as mentors during the freshman orientation and help the 
incoming students adjust themselves. Also the members act as 
ushers on Senior Day, at the commencement exercises, and take 
an active part in the school carnival.

A scholarship was inaugurated this spring which is to be 
presented to some worthy sophomore at the May convocation 
exercises.

Each alternate year the Blue Key publishes "The Broadcaster," 
a bulletin which covers the activities and location of its alumni. 
Alexander Yaskiw was the editor this year. Jack Mills is president 
of the organization.
 

(Page 73)

CARDINAL KEY

Cardinal Key, women's service organization, during this 
year has awarded its annual spring quarter scholarships to 
two girls, an upperclassman and a freshman. To raise this 
money Cardinal Key has sponsored numerous open houses which 
offer entertainment for the whole student body.

Yearly the organization assists at Senior Day and at the 
All-School Carnival. During the Inaugural Reception and Ball 
last May the members worked in the checkrooms. At the All-School 
garden party in the summer they helped serve and this past fall 
they served as ushers at the pep meeting held prior to the opening 
of our football season.

At Christmas time the organization fills baskets which they 
give to needy families. Cardinal Key also sponsored the sale of 
Red Cross tuberculosis seals, a large percent of the benefits 
of this sale remaining on the campus to pay for x-rays for 
tubercular students.

A maximum membership of twenty girls is maintained.
 

(Page 74)

ALPHA PHI SIGMA

Alpha Phi Sigma, with membership open to high school 
valedictorians and salutatorians and college students 
maintaining a high scholastic average, is one of the 
largest organizations on the campus.

Lectures are given at the monthly meetings by guest 
speakers, usually chosen from the faculty members of 
the College. Dr. Clara Clevenger, Miss Edith Dabney, 
and Miss Lucy Simmons addressed the group during the 
past year. An outstanding program was a spelling bee 
between ten members of Alpha Phi Sigma against ten of 
Pi Omega Pi.

Social hours with refreshments were held after most 
of the regular meetings. Mr. Stanley Hayden advises 
Alpha Phi Sigma. Jack Mills served as president during 
the past year.
 

(Page 75)

KAPPA DELTA PI

Kappa Delta Pi, honorary educational society, is 
made up of people interested in education who have 
at least an average of S in all their school work. 
This society offers annually a scholarship of 
twenty-five dollars to the boy or girl who ranks 
among the highest scholastically and shows unusual 
promise as a future teacher.

The programs offered at the regular meetings of 
Kappa Delta Pi are offered by both members and faculty. 
Some of the lectures given at the meetings this year 
have been on "Living American Leaders" and "Why We 
Don't Like Poetry." Two of the high spots socially were 
a dinner meeting given by the sponsor, Miss Bracy Cornett, 
and a chili supper at the home of the president, Mrs. Helen Walker. 
At this meeting the book "Dawn in Lyonesse" was reviewed 
by Miss Nan E. Wade.

Members sold popcorn at the basketball games to help 
raise money for their pledge to the Kirk Memorial fund.
 

(Page 76)

PI OMEGA PI

The Alpha Chapter of Pi Omega Pi almost doubled its 
membership this year. There are forty-eight members in 
the chapter; twenty-three of these were initiated during 
the past year.

The year's programs included: motion pictures of the 
Tournament of Roses, given by Dr. P. O. Selby; a demonstration 
of machine shorthand by Roberta Bigsby; a discussion of artificial 
languages by Mr. J. W. Heyd; a review of the book, "Action 
at Aquila," by Ruth Towne.

Among other social activities Pi Omega Pi held a radio dance 
to which members invited guests. Approximately fifty couples 
were present.

One of the activities was the formation of a spelling team 
of ten members which was pitted against teams of other 
organizations of the campus.

Helen Deverman Hunsaker heads this organization, sponsored 
by Dr. P. O. Selby.
 

(Page 77)

SIGMA ZETA

Have you ever wondered just what made a firefly 
("lightning bug" to you) flash and what kept his 
posterior region from becoming uncomfortably warm? 
Our crew of scientists can answer such perplexing 
questions as this with the greatest of ease. In fact 
one of the lectures was given over to the little 
firefly and his problems. The topic under discussion 
was "cold light."

Sigma Zeta is made up of students who are interested 
in science and current scientific problems. The speakers 
are students who have made a special study and done some 
research in some particular phase of science.

A monthly dinner meeting is held where the chief 
concern is the science of eating.

In keeping up with modern developments in science, 
Sigma Zeta obtained moving pictures on "The Story of 
Asbestos" and ran them at one of the meetings.

Delegates were sent this year from the local chapter, 
Delta, to the national conclave in DeKalb, Illinois.
 

(Page 78)

SPEECH

The speech department carried on an active extra-curricular 
program throughout the year. Pi Kappa Delta, national speech 
fraternity, covered the work in debate, oratory, extemporaneous 
speaking, and poetry reading. The ten members "did" things. The 
freshman debate tournament sponsored by the group announced as 
its winners Jack Mills and Roland Koenig. The regents award debate 
winners were Francis Hedrick and Clifton Cornwell.

The debaters won the majority of their debates and placed high 
in several tournaments. The girls' team, Caroline Krembs and 
Marjory Rouner, won second in the annual state meet.

More than a hundred College Players worked together in 
staging and presenting both one-act and three-act productions. 
Informal social functions lent much to the students' enjoyment.

Those interested in reading poetry and dialect joined the 
Readers Round Table, an informal organization presenting programs 
at regular intervals throughout the year.

W. A. A.

The Women's Athletic Association is one of the largest 
organizations in school and is open to all girls who are 
interested in sports, dancing, and outing activities.

The business of the organization is managed by a group 
of six members who plan each quarter's activities. These 
activities include one tournament each quarter: in the 
fall, winter, basketball and baseball and volleyball; 
badminton; Last spring, field-day; and summer, tennis, 
year, for the first time, W. A. A. sponsored an archery 
tournament.

Another activity includes the cabin on the Chariton 
river. This cabin is especially accessible to summer 
school students for overnight camping, weekend trips, 
and suppers. For the past two summers the organization 
has held a large supper at which faculty guests and all 
members of W. A. A. were present. The cabin has been 
largely furnished by W. A. A. members and much of the 
outdoor improvement has been done by them.

Social activities consist largely of outdoor 
picnics where camp cook-
 

(Page 81)

ing is the main activity. Each fall, W. A. A. has a 
picnic supper to which all freshman girls are invited. 
There is also an open house during the fall teachers' 
meeting. In the winter a Christmas party and the annual 
"Hick" party are given.

For the fourth year W. A. A. has earned money to send 
delegates to the National or District convention of the 
American Association for Health and Physical Education 
and Recreation. Seventeen members of W. A. A. have joined 
the Missouri Physical Education Association.

Eucharis is composed of physical education students who 
have received the highest award in W. A. A. activities, 
particularly concerning leadership. This small group 
cooperates with W. A. A., acting as an adviser to that group. 
Eucharis has also worked out credit points in extra-curricular 
activities more difficult than those of W. A. A.

The Modern Dance group is for girls who show special 
ability in modern dance. Members are selected by the 
instructors. They work particularly on technique and gather 
information concerning current dance activities.

K CLUB

This year we welcomed the new coaches . . Athletic 
Committee gave a swell breakfast at the country club 
and did we eat! Coaches seemed to like us and we 
liked them . . Got quite a few new members from football 
season and some from basketball and track . . We are 
now planning a program of club activities that promises 
to make this organization one of the livelier ones on 
the campus next year . . Expecting a big season in 
athletics too . .

AG CLUB

A hog call sweeps over the campus . . the signal 
that the Ag Club is meeting.

Its jamboree, the annual Barnwarming dance, comes 
in the fall when cider is plentiful to drink and 
there is corn-fodder for decorating. Some lucky 
farmerette is crowned Queen of Harvest each year. 
Cleo Black was so honored this year. Late developments 
in agriculture and better farming methods are discussed 
by lecturers and members at the bi-weekly meetings.
 

(Page 83)

ALPHA PHI OMEGA

Alpha Phi Omega, a service organization carrying the 
Boy Scout ideals into college life, was reorganized this 
year after several years of inactivity. This year its 
members served as gate-keepers and ushers at basketball 
games, helped with the All-School Carnival, Baldwin Hall 
open house, and other campus activities.

Assisting at football and basketball games, helping 
to plan assembly programs, and helping in blood typing 
of students are among projects planned for next year. 
Dr. F. D. Hewitt is the sponsor.

MODERN LIT

New on the campus this year is the Modern Literature 
Club, formed by a group of students interested in discussing 
recent books.

At each of its meetings a book review was presented 
by a guest or a member of the club. The books reviewed 
were selected to come under varied classifications, such 
as history, problem novels, and poetry.

Florence Dickson served as president during the past 
year. Miss Berenice Beggs is sponsor.
 

(Page 84)

MATH CLUB

The Pythagorean Society is an organization for 
students who are interested in mathematics. At its 
fortnightly meetings the past year mathematical 
subjects, such as logarithms and the calculating 
machine, were discussed.

In one of its less serious moods last winter the 
group met at Mr. Jamison's home for a social 
get-together, playing cards and checkers. An annual 
social highlight for the organization is the Spring 
banquet, held this year on April 28, when high school 
mathematicians are guests of the society. Deane Branstetter 
is president and Prof. G. H. Jamison is sponsor.

A.C.E.

The Association for Childhood Education has for 
its purpose to gather and disperse knowledge of the 
movement for the education of children, to bring 
into cooperation all childhood interests including parent 
education, to raise the standard of the professional 
training for leaders in this field, and to promote the 
progressive type of education in nursery school, kindergarten, 
and primary grades.

Programs featuring speakers concerning childhood education 
are held during the year. Too, every Christmas members of 
the A. C. E. purchase gifts for needy children.
 

(Page 85)

FRENCH CLUB

"La seance est ouverte. Le cercle voudra bien 
commencer a deliberer," says Aileen Arneson, 
president, and she continues to lead the business 
of the club in French.

The programs are composed of lectures on French 
art, literature, and music, given by members of 
the club. French is used almost exclusively since 
the object of the club is to supplement class work 
and give students an opportunity to speak and think 
in that language.

Miss Nan E. Wade is sponsor.

GERMAN CLUB

German music, art, and other cultural subjects 
are discussed at the bi-weekly meetings of the 
German Club. Although most of the lectures featured 
are given by students, some guest speakers are secured 
from the faculty.

For the second year the German Club had a 
fortune-telling booth at the All-School Carnival, 
where fortunes were told in German. Paul Kelso served 
as president for the first half-year and John Martin 
for the last. Mr. J. W. Heyd is sponsor.
 

(Page 86)

HISTORICAL SOCIETY

With crises in several parts of the world, the Historical 
Society did not lack interesting subjects for the panel 
discussions they sponsor at their semi-monthly meetings. All 
sides of the problem under discussion are presented by 
students on the programs. After several students have presented 
special reports a round table discussion is held by all members 
and guests present.

The highlight of the year as usual was the annual banquet 
held during the winter quarter.

Ten hours social science with an M average is the requirement 
for membership. Francis Hedrick was president of the organization 
and Mr. J. T. Angus adviser. Thomas Sheehey served as secretary 
until he was graduated at the end of the winter quarter. 
Willard Chambers succeeded him the spring quarter.

HOME EC CLUB

Over eighteen hundred hungry youths were in line, waiting 
for something to eat. After days of work in preparation for 
them the Ellen H. Richards Club did its yearly duty--running 
the bread line on High School Senior Day.

Two meetings are held each month, one for business and 
work, and one for fun and frolic. Two presidents have helped 
to keep the members active this year, Marjorie Smith and 
Erma Hinkson.

ART CLUB

The Art Club is composed of nineteen active and eight 
honorary members. The purpose of the club is to promote a 
wider interest and appreciation of art.

The club meets every Wednesday at an informal tea and 
discusses topics of interest.

The members decorated the auditorium for the Christmas 
dance, contributed to the Kirk Memorial fund, and brought 
two art exhibitions to the college.

Qualifications for membership are scholarship and promise 
in the field of art.

THE PRESS

"The Teachers College Index," weekly newspaper of the Teachers 
College, is financially supported by the students from the activity 
fund and by advertising. It is written, proof read, made up, and 
mailed out by students in the department of journalism.

This year the paper celebrated its thirtieth anniversary of 
continuous service. Bound copies for twenty-nine consecutive 
years were exhibited at the open house celebrating the completion 
of Baldwin Hall. An eight page anniversary edition was published.

Students taking the course in newswriting are taught not only 
styles of writing but also the technicalities concerned with the 
publication of a paper in order that they might be prepared to 
accept sponorship of a school newspaper when they become teachers.

CHOIR

The A Cappella choir, an organization of forty members, was 
active throughout the year. The choir furnished the music for 
the light opera "Martha." The opera soloists, Myra June Manes, 
Georgene Payne Macso, Dallas Draper, George Kuesel, and 
Bruce McRae, also came from its membership. The opera was one of 
the really fine things done by the College.

The A Cappella presented various assembly programs and also 
gave concerts in several schools of the district.

Mendelssohn's oratorio, "Elijah", was presented by the 
choir, together with outside singers, in May.

To Dr. Barrett Stout, director, goes the credit for the 
splendid work done by the choir. The tireless effort put forth 
on Dr. Stout's part and the splendid cooperation on the part 
of members was manifested through the various productions given.

BAND

The school year 1938-39 saw many decided improvements in 
the College band organization. Under the direction of 
Bandmaster Karl Webb, the band for the first time in years 
had a band "majoress", Miss Darlene Shaw. New uniforms 
added their part to the band's effectiveness. The band 
played at football games, and following the baton of the 
"majoress", performed various stunts during the halves of 
the games.

The basketball season saw the band still on duty. Its 
fifty members played music both stirring and swinging, the 
latter in the form of "Tiger Rag."

During the year the band gave concerts in various schools 
and colleges throughout the district, besides presenting 
several assembly programs.

ORCHESTRA

The Symphony Orchestra, which is sponsored by the 
Teachers College, is recruited from the best players 
in the College, the Kirksville College of Osteopathy 
and Surgery, the Kirksville High School and the 
community at large.

The orchestra meets weekly to study the masterpieces of 
orchestral music. While the primary function is to become 
familiar with orchestral literature and to acquire experience 
in playing it, the orchestra has given several public 
performances.

The Symphony spent many hours practicing its score 
for the opera "Martha" but when all was over, everyone 
agreed as to the fine quality of music presented.

Mr. Kemble Stout directed the orchestra in the absence 
of the regular director, Professor J. L. Biggerstaff.

SENIOR CLASS

Enough insincere copy has been written concerning 
various graduating classes. Suffice to say that the 
Teachers College has one and that it conducted itself 
in an active fashion during the past year.

In the fall a senior tea was given. Truth present, 
the decorations remained unsurpassed at any tea throughout 
the year. Also hospitality was above reproach.

A new precedent was founded by the senior class 
during the winter when they promoted a Senior Swing, 
the first dance held by a senior class. It was a 
sport dance with Jimmy Parcell and his orchestra 
playing.

After contributing their gift to the College, the 
Class of '39 left its remaining funds to be used to 
aid in the erection of the Kirk Memorial.
