The College provides three dormitories for the male students. These are: Dorm C, Missou Hall and what the students call the "Kennel." The latter is so-named because many of the athletes like to room together and what better place for good Bulldogs than a new "Kennel." Missou Hall has recently installed a new television set to add to the other fine facilities. For the married students, there are 42 large, low - rent apartments.

(Page 40) MAURICE "RED" WADE Head Coach KENNETH GARDNER Line Coach Here comes the Bulldogs ready for action The crowd roars as the team takes the field First down, ten yards to go Football The Bulldogs got off to a slow start by dropping their opener to Missouri Valley 19-0 and losing a heartbreaker to Western Illinois 19-13; but you can't keep a team like the Bulldogs down for long. The boys came back with revenge in their hearts and romped over the Springfield Bears 27-7 in their first M. I. A. A. Conference game of the season. Ray Mach got two counters and Jerry Bolin and Dwight Huggins got one. Frank Melvin's 63 yard coffin corner punt was the talk of the game. The Bulldogs continued their winning ways and downed the Indians from Cape Girardeau 14-0. This game was marked by a lot of penalties but Kirksville definitely won with TD's by Bill Carter and O. D. Austin. Don Healy did some fine running off tackle. The longest effort was 55 yards. In their third straight win the Bulldogs broke up the Homecoming at Eastern Illinois by beating them in the last minutes of play 7-2. The only Kirksville tally came on a pass play from Richard Dark to Jerry Bolin. Bolin also ran the conversion. The big game of the year as far as the crowd was concerned, was the Home-coming battle with the Rolla Miners. After leading 26-6 at the end of the first half, the Bulldogs had to fight hard to hold the Miners down in a 28-20 victory for the Bulldogs. Bob Bradley (Page 41) led the scoring with two touchdowns on passes from Bill Carter. Rach Mach and Bill Carter each had one touchdown and Bill Peterson picked up two points on a safety. The Conference championship was in the bag when the Bulldogs whipped the Warrensburg Mules 25-6 and Maryville was held to a 7-7 tie by Cape Girardeau. The jubilant Bulldogs closed out their best season since 1936 by coming from behind and downing the Maryville Bearcats 39-26. The Bulldogs were forced to overcome a two-touchdown deficit at half-time. The old Purple and White really got rolling in the second half and scored five times. The Bulldogs knew they had to win because Dr. Ryle wanted to get back "the cane". It was a great football season, but you can bet the Bulldogs will be out to do even better in 1954. The Bulldogs really mix it up Bolin boots one through for the extra point Co-captains Peterson and Huggins hold the M. I. A. A. Conference trophies. Peterson was voted most valuable player of the conference. Don't worry coach it's in the bag (Page 42) The College Band leads them all in the big parade Homecoming "Time Out!" cried a thousand students as they stopped the decorating and planning on their floats to attend the opening Pep Rally of the 1953 Homecoming. The highlight of the Rally was the crowning of Dee Harpham as Homecoming Queen. After the coronation the queen and her attendants, Mary Brubaker, Lancaster; First prize float: The Industrial Arts Club The Baptist Student Union ship The Delta girls were swinging for the Bulldogs (Page 43) Ann Hertzler, La Plata; Pat Kelly, Kirksville; and Reva Parcels, Shelbina, led the parade up town. Saturday morning was highlighted by the annual Homecoming parade consisting of 65 units. The Industrial Arts Club took first place with their float denoting the difference between "Jet propelled" Bulldogs and "The Kitty-hawk" Miners. The Ag Club placed second and Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity placed third. The Founders Day Luncheon honoring the classes of 1903 and 1928 was held immediately after the parade. Dr. Joe Verby, assistant principal of Webster Groves High School, was the main speaker. The toastmaster, Gordon King, '28, recognized delegates from the various campus organizations. Saturday afternoon the Bulldogs pulled through with a decided 28 to 20 victory over the Rolla Miners. This victory gave the crowd all the more reason to "live it up" at the climax of the Homecoming season which was our annual Homecoming dance Saturday night.

(Page 45) (Page 46) Blue Key Blue Key wound up its year's activities by sponsoring the annual "I Am An American Day" assembly, May 5. As a quarterly activity, Blue Key publishes a student directory each quarter, containing the name, address, and phone number of each student and faculty member. This year's directory featured better proof reading and slicker paper. Advertisements sold by Blue Key members pays for the directory. In February, Blue Key members took over 70 orders for blood donations for the Kirksville Red Cross chapter. Planning and supervising the entire Homecoming parade; conducting guided tours on Parents' and Senior Day; ushering at baccalaureate and commencement, round out a busy Blue Key year. An honorary service organization, Blue Key chooses men who lead in scholarship, service, character, and leadership and who have a minimum of sixty hours credit. Membership is limited to twenty. Key men in Blue Key this year include: President, George Prewitt; Vice-president, Hugh Gardner; Treasurer, Irving Waldman; Secretary, Roy Kearns. Dr. Richard Sullivan is sponsor.

Alpha Sigma Alpha Alpha Beta chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha had another great year with more members in more activities. At Homecoming Ann Hertzler was an attendant to the Queen. The Alpha float theme was sportsmanship and "Every Lad a Proud Defender." The big Hawaiian rush party and the party after the football game helped to bring 23 new pledges to the Alphas. These pledges gave the actives the traditional Gypsy dance in the latter part of November. The annual Christmas party was held at Miss Zollers. Cake and punch were served and gifts were exchanged. After the holidays were over Mary Lou Bills was crowned Queen of Hearts at Trump Night.

Evadine Wilson was crowned Alpha Sweetheart Queen with Lora Doone Loughery and Cathy Nicol as attendants. Again this year the Echo Queen was an Alpha--Ann Hertzler. Evadine Wilson, Senior Queen, was an attendant. March 23 the Alumnae gave their annual banquet for the actives and pledges.

The Delta spirit really got going with the rush parties. The first was an Oriental Tea Garden with genuine oriental china tea cups for favors. No one had time to dress for the next affair which was held at 6:30 in the morning. The proper attire was pajamas and housecoats as the theme of this party was "Slumber Time." Little dolls dressed in nightdowns were given as favors. When pledging time came, the Deltas emerged with 17 fine, new girls.

Reva Parcels was a candidate for Homecoming Queen. The quarter continued to be a good one for them when they pledged 12 new girls after two very successful rush parties. The first was a "Gay Nineties" party where everyone came dressed in costumes denoting that particular period. The second was a "Deep Sea" party with gold fish given as favors. In November, the Pi Kaps were favored with a visit by one of their national officers, Mrs. Wilbur Long. Miss Willie Whitson, Sponsor, gave the annual Christmas Tea at her home on December 15 where the actives exchanged gifts with their "little sisters."

Sigma Sigma Sigma Mu chapter of Sigma Sigma Sigma started off the year's activities by their entry of the "Snow 'em Under" float in the Homecoming parade. Tri Big's own Mary Brubaker added her charms to the annual affair as an attendant to the Homecoming Queen. Two rush parties were held this year, which resulted in the pledging of 25 new girls. The theme of the first party was "Deep Purple" (the Trig Sig color) and dealt with sorority in its many phases. The "Sigma Round Up" was the theme of the second party and featured side-splitting antics of dude ranchers in their western surroundings. The chuck wagon was an important feature of the evening, naturally! Jackie Easley had the honor of being attendant to the Queen of Hearts on Trump Night. The entire sorority participated with their skit, "Specially For You." Sigma Sigma Sigma pledge, Pat Edwards, was honored by being chosen Freshman Queen and candidate for this year's Echo Queen.

In the skit competition the College Players won first place trophy and prize with "Nursery Nightmare." Second prize was captured by Alpha Sigma Alpha with "As You Liked It." Phi Sigma Epsilon finished a rousing third with "Club 201." The Student Council was in charge of the evening's events. The only thing they couldn't take care of was King Beck's absence from his own coronation to play basketball for K. S. T. C. A second coronation was held in assembly. Interludes during the evening were provided by the Blue Notes from the Air Force base at Sublette and Louis Hamada from Lebanon. Top: College Player's winning skit, "Nursery Nightmare".

K Club Whenever you see a big, white K walking down the street, with a purple jacket background, you'll know its wearer is a member of the K-Club, open only to athletes who have earned their salt in Bulldog letter awards. Besides setting up "pause that refreshes" stands at athletic tilts, selling programs, ushering at all football and basketball games, and helping at track meets and the high school sub-regional tourney, the K-Club also supervised the Homecoming Pep Rally. Frank Melvin served as president this year. R. E. Valentine is the sponsor. Intramurals It was another big year for intramurals. Basketball was again the top-ranking sport with Phi Sigma Epsilon's A team winning first. Other intramurals this year included double and single table tennis tournaments and volleyball. All intramurals are under the direction of Dr. William Healey. The officiating was handled by the officiating class.

Alpha Phi Sigma Alpha Chapter of Alpha Phi Sigma was founded on February 26, 1930 here on the Missouri State Teachers College campus. Since that time, it has become a national honorary organization with chapters at many colleges and universities. One of the highlights of the year was the National Alpha Phi Sigma convention which was held at Warrensburg, Missouri. Our chapter was represented by Leon Woodward, Edward Cox, Ronald Bailey, Gertrude Heathman, Delores Tracy and Dr. Hans Hagemann. At this meeting the principal work was on the revision of the national constitution. Edward Cox was elected to the office of National Historian. The membership of this organization consists of associate and master members. Valedictorians and salutatorians are invited to affiliate with the local chapter. At the end of three consecutive quarters with a two point average in grades they advance to master status. The climax of the activities for the year was the Alpha Phi Sigma banquet. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Hans Hagemann another successful year was closed in the history of Alpha Phi Sigma with the addition of many new members. This group of officers and members planned and directed the year's activities (Page 79) Alpha Phi Omega Epsilon Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega is very proud to be the fifth chapter of a National Service Fraternity which has 269 chartered chapters and is still growing. The purpose of the fraternity is to assemble college men in the fellowship of the Scout Oath and Law, to develop friendship and promote service to humanity. APO renders service in four major fields: Service to the student body and faculty, Service to youth and community, Service to members of the fraternity, and Service to the nation as participating citizens. A.P.O. started its year of activities by furnishing campus guides, ushers, and hosts for Parent's Day tea. When Homecoming rolled around, you probably saw the A.P.O. boys in charge of the pre-game ceremony. Of course that night you couldn't help but see the A.P.O. men working in the coat room for the Homecoming Dance. A.P.O. was proud to bring Mr. Riney C. Miller, Deputy Chief Scout Executive of Region Eight, as a guest speaker to speak to college men about the field of professional scouting. This year A.P.O. started having dinner meetings. The group found that in this way Alpha Phi Omega meetings could be attended by all members. Smokers, pledge parties, pledge duties, and pledge meetings head the list of activities that the new members of A.P.O. participated in. Their major project was the taking of a campus scout census during the registration for the winter quarter.

Index Staff It was another big year for the Index, with over 40 students helping to gather news and ads for the year. In its 46th year the Index had the services of three fine editors. In the fall it was Neil Bear who had the headaches, in the winter Bill Cable took over, and in the warm spring Glen Easterday was at the helm. The Index was fortunate in having Miss Agnes Slemons as sponsor again. Without her efforts it would have been impossible to produce the fine newspaper that the Index is. The years work was highlighted by Football and Basketball issues as well as safe driving campaigns and complete coverage of the Education department. The ad hustlers for the year were Dave Strickler, Bob Sellers, Larry Allred and Eva Kephart. It took a lot of leg work to keep the paper in the black ink but they managed to come out ahead. Bound volumes of the Index were again offered for sale in limited quantity and found a good market. (Page 90) (Page 91) SPRING HIGHLIGHTS ECHO DANCE - OPERA BAND - TRACK NEMOS - SENIORS (Page 92) Echo Dance Clad in floor-length formal dresses, dark and light tuxes and dark suits, over two hundred couples danced to the smooth rhythms of Jimmy "Dancing Shoes" Palmer at the Echo Dance in March. Marching down a long aisle of students in Kirk Auditorium, to a gold-draped throne, were Echo King and Queen candidates Roy Kearns and Evadine Wilson, seniors; Dean Carson and Judy Hood, juniors; Marvin Silver and Ann Hertzler, sophomores; and Bobby Hall and Pat Edwards, freshmen. "And now, ladies and gentlemen," announced Echo editor, Henry Simpson, "that moment you've all been waiting for. As chosen by Jimmy Palmer, I hereby crown Ann Hertzler and Marvin Silver Queen and King of the 1954 Echo." (Then a whole host of pictures by Sykes, an almost forgotten spray of a dozen red roses for the Queen, and the King and Queen Dance resumed the second half of this year's Echo Dance) Shaking hands with the guests in the reception line were President and Mrs. Walter H. Ryle; Stanley Grimm, junior class president; Mr. and Mrs. Otho Barnett and Miss Llora MaGee, junior class sponsors; and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Simpson, Jr., Echo editor. Dance decorations consisted of colored lights strung in a diamond shape over the dance floor and potted plants across the stage. Draped with gold velvet, the thrones for the king and queen were the center of attraction. Kurt Ballard, art instructor, made the silver crown, complete with jewels and plume. The fourteen piece orchestra, including Jimmy Palmer and the well-received vocalist, played many requests, most of which they had recorded. The number "Who" was one of the most popular. Part of the dance was broadcast over the local radio station KIRX.

Jim Houtchens, business manager, and Chuck Esterline, assistant business manager, worked long and faithfully to see that all of the money was collected and recorded. They spent many an hour sitting in line while the registering students "gladly" gave up their dollar for the ECHO. "Whose cover shall we use?" the editor asked. Designing the cover was a problem which confronted the artists, Neil Bear, Nancy Cundiff and Caroline Stokes, early in the year. They all submitted fine drawing for consideration, but unfortunately, we could only use one. The cover of this year's book was designed and drawn by Nancy Cundiff. The artists' problems did not end there, however. They had to get right to work on the opening pages and the division pages. As you can see, they finally made it. "Good pictures, or we won't use them." That's what the editor said and that's what the photographers, J. C. Shelton and Hugh Gardner, got. Due to the many other duties of Hugh, J. C. was left with the big job of cleaning up the end of the year's pictures. Bill Wharton, assistant editor, worked hard at helping crack the whip over the staff. He really did a fine job with good helpers like Mary Brubaker, Carol Kelley, Mary Lou Lovelace and Rusty Gorman to lighten the load. Russell Vannoy was right in there slinging the words around again, but Russ is another fellow who was swamped with other activities (not all of which were work). If you see an old gray-headed man walking around mumbling something about losing the identification for a large group-shot, that's the editor-- but he's happy now.

A spring tour is made annually by this group. This year the band began its eighth tour on March 1 under the direction of Paul Strub. Some of the highlights on the tour program were "Marche Heroic" by Saint-Saens, and a clarinet quartet. A vibraphone solo was a feature by Norman Wilson of Moberly, a composition by Dr. Leon Karel of the Teachers College faculty. The program also listed two numbers by Harold Cleveland, "Gremel-shausen", a prize-winning band composition, and "Town and Country." The pre-tour concert was played February 24 in La Plata and the post-tour concert was given at Kirk Auditorium March 25 at 8:00 o'clock. The band schedule was as follows: March 1, Clarence, 9:00; Monroe City, 11:00; Hannibal, 1:00; Palmyra, 2:45. March 2, St. Louis schools: McKinley, 9:00; Roosevelt, 11:00; Ritenour, 2:00. March 3, Montgomery City, 9:00; Vandalia, 11:00; Centralia, 1:45. Director Paul Strub has developed a system of band awards to reward and encourage hard-working band members. Minor awards are given for each quarter of service, major awards of letters are given after three quarters' work, gold bars for the letters for each year's work following. The Silver Key Award, highest honor to be received, rewards three years of service in the band. The annual spring banquet was instituted to end the year's activities and present awards. Band officers for the year are Betty Goad, secretary-treasurer; Al Welch, vice-president and Charles Shults, president.

Since their organization, they have traveled with the band on its annual spring tour. Two effective numbers on their program for this year's tour were "Listen to the Lambs" by Dett and "How Blessed Are They" by Tschaikovsky. Sing, sing, sing...

Miss Phradie Wells of the music faculty directed. Solo parts were sung by Lillian and Val Patacchi, contralto and bass, from the faculty of Stephens College, Columbia; by Roberta Exline, soprano, and Glen Packham, tenor. The chorus also presented a program for the Sojourner's Club during the annual guest day on January 30. The chorus and soloists sang a condensed choral version of the "Desert Song" by Romberg along with various other excerpts from the opera.

Orchestra Recognized as being one of the outstanding orchestras in this section of the state, the Teachers College orchestra also has a long history. It is known that there has been an orchestra on the campus for over 50 years because Miss Frances Tinkham, earliest known director, began in 1900. This early orchestra was organized to accompany operas. The present orchestra, under the direction of Karl E. Webb, plays three concerts yearly and also accompanies operas and oratorios given on the campus. Besides the three concerts given this year, the orchestra accompanied the singing of "The Messiah" on December 13 and the opera "Down in the Valley" given April 27. The orchestra meets weekly and has become a community orchestra, although its membership is primarily Teachers College students. The Missouri Music Educators Association met on the Teachers College campus for the first time. The conference lasted two days and was climaxed by a concert in Kirk Auditorium given by musicians, including both students and teachers of the College. The orchestra presented several numbers which included "Prelude Choral" and "Fugue" by Bach, Overture to "The Secret Marriage" by Cimarosa and the first movement of the Schumann piano concerto. Opera Cast "Down in the Valley", an American folk tragedy by Kurt Weil was the opera produced by Miss Phradie Wells this spring. This opera was entirely different from any given here before as it was a modern musical drama. All dialogue was with music and continuous scenes faded from one to another by use of a spotlight. The plot began with a flash back of the tragedy. Brach Weaver killed Thomas Bouche because of his attentions to Jennie Parsons, Brach's sweetheart. He was taken to the Birmingham jail but broke jail to see Jennie one more time. The opera ended as Brach left to be hanged. "Down in the Valley", "The Lonesome Dove", "The Little Black Train", "Hop Up My Ladies", and "Sour-wood Mountain", were some of the ballads. In one scene known as the "Shadow Creek" scene, the chorus participated in a square dance. This dance was given under the direction of Tony Swain. Leads were sung by Pat Kelly, Gene Weber, Bob Crow and Keith Stout.

"Come to the Senior Tea this Wednesday afternoon, March 17, from 3 to 5 p. m. and find out what the Senior Class gift is," Hugh finished and then slinked out of assembly. As students entered Sociability Hall that afternoon, there it was -- the gift -- a flashy red-and-silver juke box sending forth mellow rhythms until the college swing band took over later in the afternoon. Edward Cox led the group in singing Irish songs (oh yes, the Tea was held on St. Patrick's Day--almost forgot!) Senior girls who served refreshments are: Jane Adams, Betty Wohlschlaeger, Jody Williams, Dee Harpham, Jackie Easley, Carla Derrick, Cathy Nicol and Jean Danneman. Chairmen for the Tea included: Hugh Gardner, general chairman; Tony Debo, entertainment; Jane Adams, serving; George Prewitt and Carla Derrick, invitations.

Who's Who Seventeen Teachers College students were selected to appear in the 1954 directory of "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges" this year. Recognition by "Who's Who" means that the student has been nominated by a campus committee that is instructed to consider the student's scholarship, his co-operation and leadership in academic and extra-curricular activities, his citizenship and service to the school, his promise of future usefulness. The "Who's Who" publication first came into print for the school year 1934-85. Each year nominations are made from approximately 600 colleges and universities. A certificate of recognition is awarded to each member, and a placement service is conducted by the organization for the benefit of seniors and graduates. (Page 118) Front row: Betty Goad, treasurer; Irv Waldman, vice-president; Richard Stelplugh, president; Jacquelin Easley, secretary; LaVerne Dudeck, councilwoman. Second row: Ismene Ioannidou, Bill Wharton, Marilie Schrock, Betty Lou Wilgus, Dr. C. H. Allen, sponsor; Janet Delventhal, Jim Houtchens, Estalene Purvis, Leon Woodward. This is the organization that finally emerges victorious after the yearly spring election with its poster wars, campaign badges and political rallies. It is the governing organization of the student body and has charge of most of the social events which take place on the campus. This year, entertainment flourished under the able leadership of president Dick Stelplugh and his assistants. Dr. C. H. Allen is the council adviser and is quite beneficial to the smooth operation of our student government. The Student Council is in charge of the three big all-school dances during the year. The Homecoming Dance which climaxes Homecoming Day activities featured the 11-piece Beckman orchestra. The council rounded up Sam Stites' "Stardusters" from Bloomfield, Iowa for the annual Christmas formal which was held on the evening of December 17. And for the Echo Dance which is the spring formal and one of the biggest events of the year, the council obtained none other than Jimmy "Dancing Shoes" Palmer, who, incidentally, also chose the Echo king and queen. The Student Council also had a hand in planning for the second "Parents Day" on the campus, along with planning and arranging for all-school movies, open houses, the third annual Trump Night and the Freshman Frolic which is a get-acquainted program for the "brand-new" students.

Standing: Dick Stelplugh, Howard Platz, Carl Mitten, Russ Harrison, Carla Derrick, Shirley Leber, Estalene Purvis. Student Social Committee The College Student Social Committee is composed of members from the student body at large who volunteer to serve in a limited capacity to help the Student Council in planning and executing activities for all school participation. Eighty students volunteered to become part of this organization this year. Since the group can be composed of only 20 members, three of which must be Student Council members, the remaining 17 members are chosen from the list of volunteers by the Student Council and the Dean of Women. The faculty sponsor of the Student Social Committee is, according to the Student Council Constitution, the Dean of Women, Dr. Pauline Knobbs. She acts in an advisory capacity to the chairman. This committee is organized for the purpose of serving the students and providing a well-rounded program of interest and entertainment for the student throughout the school year. It forms the nucleus of all decorating, program, and working committees in preparation for school functions. It plans and submits to the Student Council and to the Social Calendar Committee a suggested calendar of social events for fall, winter, spring and summer quarters. Irv Waldman was the chairman of this year's Student Social Committee. Other members, chosen on the basis of willingness, dependability, and amount of time available to participate were: Shirley Leber, St. Louis; Beverly Orwiler, Kirksville; Donna Frazier, Pollock; Nancy Hedges, St. Charles; Carla Derrick, La Plata; Linda Heimer, Brunswick; Carl Mitten, Medill; Roy Kearns, Wyaconda; Russell Harrison, Portland; Joe Gooch, Knoxville, Tennessee; Gene Gregory, Kirksville; Pat Gibson, Independence; Janie Bray, Fort Worth, Texas; Marilyn Cornwell, Kirksville; Howard Platz, Brashear; Rita Green, Hannibal, and Carolyn Strickler, Knox City.

Wallace Pearson, Governor Beardsley and Dr. Ryle Santa Collins It really doesn't hurt (Page 123) The Editor's Page Another year of work and another ECHO is on the shelf. But before I can consider my job completely finished, I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to a great many people. Without the cooperation and fine work of the photographers, it would have been impossible to put out this year's Echo. My gratitude to Mr. Glen Rider of Rider-Philpott Studios in Kansas City, who did the individual pictures, to John Goeke and Kenneth Sykes, both of Sykes Studio in Kirksville, who took many of the snapshots and formal pictures and to our fine staff photographer, J. C. Shelton, who did a tremendous amount of work. Thanks go to the Personnel Office and the Dean's Office for valuable assistance in gathering information on students. Also a very special thank you to all members of the ECHO staff who cooperated in the actual production of the annual. Their hard work was greatly appreciated. No thanks would be complete without mentioning the Teachers College Business Office. They were always willing to give us the facts and figures when we needed them. I am indebted to Mr. LaClair Smith, manager of the College Annual Department of Harper Standard Engraving Company, for his helpful advice and assistance in producing the engravings, and to Mr. H. Greene Simpson of the Simpson Printing Company and Mr. C. T. Brockman of the Arnold Printing Co. for valuable advice in all departments. To all those people who did little jobs or big jobs that I have missed listing specifically--thanks! Last, but not least, thanks to my wife for her untiring efforts as typist and co-ordinator. As editor, I speak for the entire staff in saying that I hope you enjoy your Echo, now and in the years to come.
