WHOSE LIVES ARE DEDICATED TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF TEACHER TRAINING

This college was founded by Joseph Baldwin on 
the principle that "Thorough scholastic training 
lies at the foundation of a teacher's education. Since 
then it has been the goal of this institution 
to maintain those high standards of its 
founder. We are proud of those men and women 
who have carried forward this torch and succeeded 
in attaining the goal.

HUBERT WHEELER
Commissioner of Education

State Commissioner of Education

Hubert Wheeler, State Commissioner of Education, is supervisor 
of all of Missouri's public schools, and in that capacity meets 
with the Board of Regents of the college as ex-officio member.

Foremost among the duties of the Commissioner of Education 
is the carrying out of the general functions of the State 
Board of Education: the improving of all phases of instruction 
concerned with education, health and general welfare of 
learners in the various levels and the assisting in effectively 
organizing, managing and financing the education program 
of the state.

Mr. Wheeler keeps in close contact with the policies and 
management of the college.

Board of Regents

The six members of the Hoard of Regents of the college 
comprise the highest administrative unit of the institution 
here. Selected from outstanding business and professional 
men from over Northeast Missouri, the Board of Regents is 
the governing body of the college.

Policies for the college are prescribed by the board 
and final business, such as employing teachers, bids 
for work and construction, approval of bills and signing 
of contracts, is performed by the Board of Regents. During 
the past year, the board has been especially busy as 
it made arrangements for starting work on the new dormitory.

President

WALTER HARRINGTON RYLE

Improvements of faculty, buildings and grounds have marked the
ten years of the administration of Pres. Walter H. Ryle, seventh
president of the college. A graduate of the college, Pres. Ryle joined
the faculty in 1928 and was named president on August 31, 1937.
Only 10 members of his 1937 faculty held Ph.D. degrees while now
23 possess their Doctors degrees. From an almost barren campus,
graced only by huge trees. Pres. Ryle has turned the campus here
into one of the most beautiful in the Middle West. A huge dormitory,
started in March, marks another highlight in his building program
which has seen the completion of Baldwin Hall and an addition to
Ophelia Parrish, and the building of Kirk Memorial, the Industrial
Arts Building, the Athletic Building and the new home economics
and metal work building, and other improvements. Other 
construction is planned.

Pres. Ryle has been untiring in his efforts to keep the 
college foremost in teacher training. This year marked the offering 
of the Master of Arts degree in five fields.

president of the College on many occasions, both on and off the 
campus. Responsible for coordinating all the activities of the 
College to the end that a sound public relations program for the 
college may be developed and sustained, the office also is 
responsible for the printing of official publications, making 
preliminary arrangements for printing contracts and the supervision 
of the preparation of such publications. Among other duties, the

MELVA RAE GINGERICH, A.B., M.A.

Dean of Women

The Dean of Women is supervisor of housing and prepares 
an approved list of rooms, which necessitates the inspection 
of rooming houses and the working out of rules and regulations 
both for the occupying students and the landlords.

The Dean of Women aids students in social and personal 
problems and is instrumental in the supervision of a wholesome 
and stimulating program of social activities on the 
campus. She prepares and organizes the Freshman Handbook which 
is given to all incoming freshmen.

As sponsor of the Pan-Hellenic Council, the Dean of Women 
works closely with the four social sororities on the 
campus. As chairman of the Social Calendar Committee, Miss Gingerich 
is active in preparing the social calendar, which takes in most 
of the activities of the college.

The office of the Dean of Women is correlated with all other 
activities of the Division of Personnel Service.

ROBERT C. AUKERMAN, A.B., A.M., Ph.D.

bulletin, checking all candidates for graduation, scheduling 
courses, scheduling assembly programs, keeping permanent 
records and transcripts of all students, handling excuses, issuing 
official transcripts, handling all mail for the college, 
evaluating incoming transcripts, maintaining hies of all 
college publications and other duties.

C. H. ALLEN. B.S., M.A. Ph.D.

Division of Personnel Service

The Division of Personnel Service, headed by C. H. Allen, is always 
ready to give advice. It is through the work of this Division that 
students are guided in their college careers. In this office are 
kept the many records of the students which are necessary if a good 
job of guidance is to be performed.

From the results of entrance tests, faculty members and advisors 
can guide students in choice of curricula and activities which will 
fit them for professional lives.

The task of supervising the social life of the college falls upon 
the Dean of Women. She has charge of the social calendar and watches 
over beginning freshmen to help them make college adjustments.

To maintain the health of the students, the school physician is 
always ready to serve. Free health examinations and consultations 
are available any time the student desires them.

For veterans, the Personnel Division maintains a guidance service 
in connection with the Veterans Administration Guidance Center. A 
counciling and testing program is maintained to aid every veteran 
asking for this service.

Nearly every phase of student activities is connected with the 
Division of Personnel Service--social life, health, the testing and 
guidance program and the veteran s guidance service.

BAILEY WRIGHT, B.A., M.A.
Business Manager

Business Office

The Division of Business Service, Bailey Wright, business 
manager, handles the business and financial books of the 
College. It also has charge of the Student Memorial Fund 
for the use of students who momentarily need financial 
support. The loans which are relatively small are meted 
out to sum to a few. An M average for one quarter is the 
only qualification. This office handles the income from 
the G.l. housing units. With these, and other numerous 
duties that this office performs, it also supervises 
stenographic and duplicating service for the faculty.

Division of Arts

Operated for the primary purpose of the education of 
teachers in this field, the Division of Arts, Karl Webb, 
Head, also offers opportunity for individuals to advance 
themselves in cultural training. Courses are available to 
majors in other fields who wish to round out their college 
training in the creative fields. Group music, orchestra, 
band, chorus and the A Cappella choir, as well as the 
annual opera, are open to all students. Offering a major 
and a minor in music and art, the division added to its 
program in the summer of 1947 when it started offering a 
Masters Degree in music education.

Division of Business Education

The Division of Business Education, Paul Selby, Head, has 
found its purpose changing from time to time. In the early 
history of the institution, bookkeeping and penmanship were 
offered as business training. These courses were dropped 
around the year 1900, but in 1908 the College started a 
division for the preparation of business teachers. This 
division has flourished since that year with that purpose 
in mind. It is anticipated that during the years just ahead 
the number of students who have secretarial positions and 
business administration as objectives will increase. In 
the summer of 1947, the Division instituted graduate studies 
in business education and the College is today the only 
school in the state of Missouri offering a Master s degree 
with a major in business education.

Division of Education

The Division of Education, Miss Willie Whitson, acting head, 
provides the theory and the practice for future teachers. 
Here students learn the history and philosophy of the 
educational system. Future teachers receive instruction in 
the art of teaching, through daily observation of class work 
in either the Ophelia Parrish or the Greenwood Laboratory 
Schools and from actual work as practice teachers. The Division 
of Education ties its courses in with the major fields of 
students to give a well rounded program with one aim in mind, 
the preparation of better teachers. The Division is now 
offering a Master of Arts degree.

Health and Physical Education Division

The Health and Physical Education Division, Alma K. Zoller, 
Head, offers majors in health and physical education for men 
and women and a degree in recreational leadership. Health studies 
are under Miss Zoller and Dr. Ben Jones, school doctor. The 
physical education faculty includes Mrs. Mary Wille, women's 
physical education, Boyd King, James Dougherty and Delbert 
Maddox, men s physical education. Mr. King coaches basketball 
and baseball. Mr. Dougherty coaches football and track. Mr. Maddox 
directs various classes in gymnastics and physical education. He 
is also director of the intramural sports program. Majors in 
physical education leave the Teachers College well versed in 
the skills necessary to teach in the public school, to offer 
education and practice in correct health methods and 
administration, or to direct a well-rounded program of sports.

The Division of Home Economics

The Division of Home Economics, Llora B. MaGee, Head, offers 
courses of a general nature dealing with problems of everyday 
living. The division s courses are of such a practical nature 
that many women students take minors or elective subjects in 
the field in order to better prepare themselves for after college life.

The division has so arranged its courses that it prepares 
future teachers for both vocational and nonvocational home economics.

Housed for many years in Science Hall, the Division was in 
the process of moving from its former quarters to the new home 
economics rooms during the year. Many advantages, such as ceiling 
and windows of the height and size of homes, new kitchen equipment 
and a new place to make sparkling and homelike, were found in the 
new division home.

The Division of Language and Literature

The Division of Language and Literature, J. W. Heyd, Head, is 
composed of the Departments of English, Speech, German, French, 
Latin, and Spanish. The speech department, in addition to offering 
participation in one-act and full length plays and debate, offers 
student activity in the Readers' Round Table and College 
Players. Journalism students get first hand practice on the Teachers 
College Index and The Echo. French and Spanish students participate 
in the Modern Language Club. Majors in both Ianguage arts--a special 
combination major and a regular English major--are offered by the 
English Department. In each of the other departments of the 
division, a regular major is offered.

Division of Practical Arts

The Division of Practical Arts, Otho L. Barnett, Head, found a 
big increase in the number of majors and minors in the field 
during the past year. Included in the division s offerings this 
year were study in hand and machine wood working, welding, sheet 
metal, bench metal and machine shop work in metal in the new 
building where the latest of tools and machines are featured; 
general, architectural, machine and aircraft drafting; electricity 
and radio; aviation and automotive studies, with the offering of 
driver education and the holding of a number of driving seminars 
here during the year. The college here was the only institution 
of higher learning in the state to offer driver education. The 
crafts offered were leather, plastics, book binding, art metal 
and crafts for elementary teachers. Among the agriculture 
courses offered were those in livestock and crops, and courses 
in ornamental horticulture, stressing work with flowers, 
shrubs and gardens.

The Division of Science and Mathematics

The Division of Science and Mathematics, Wray Rieger, Head, 
has as its primary aim the preparation of teachers of biology, 
chemistry, general science, mathematics and physics for the 
high schools of Missouri; and as a secondary aim, to give 
fundamental training in the sciences and mathematics for 
those who plan to attend a professional school or any profession 
in which a knowledge of the basic sciences and mathematics is 
needed or required. To accomplish these aims, it is considered 
imperative that sound scholarship be built in both the major 
science field and each of the related minor fields. A broad 
general training is provided for those who plan to teach science 
in the elementary schools. Curricula are provided for majors or 
minors leading to the baccalaureate degrees.

Division of Social Science

The Social Science Division, Miss Lucy Simmons, Head, represents a 
synthesis of six closely related fields of study: geography, history, 
political science, international relations, economics and sociology, 
and religious education. The purpose of the Division is to prepare 
students who wish to become teachers using the social science major 
as a field, or any one of the other auxiliary fields.

The field of social science helps students toward a better 
understanding of the conditions of the world today. The social 
science division also offers work on the graduate level, made 
possible by the new fifth year course of study.

Veteran's Administration Guidance Center

The Veteran s Administration Guidance Center on the campus 
here acts as a connecting link between veterans who are students 
and the regional office of the Veteran s Administration. In such 
events as subsistence difficulties, the local center investigates 
the needs and correction of these difficulties. Other matters 
also are acted upon by the bureau. One major function of the 
veteran s center here is the giving of interest and aptitude 
tests to those students desiring those tests.

The office, in Baldwin Hall, maintains a large number of 
records, which are kept on each veteran. Individual counseling 
is given to many of these veterans. Through the individual 
counseling and aptitude tests, students are shown for what 
field of study they are best suited.

Library

This past year has brought several changes in the library under 
Miss Ethel Hook, Director of Libraries.

Last year, the periodical room received a new coat of paint and 
some Venetian blinds. These produced a tremendous difference in the 
appeal and restful reading comfort of the room.

This spring, the redecorating force moved up to the third floor 
and began their miraculous improvement of its interior.

Throughout the year, a continuous expansion program has been 
under way. An addition to the stacks is being built to house 
approximately 15,000 more volumes. The Glenn Frank Library is 
being located in newly enlarged and redecorated quarters on the 
lower floor of the Library Building.

Cafeteria
Three times a day every school day the cafeteria in Kirk 
Auditorium opens its doors to a long line of waiting, hungry 
students. Various organizations have held dinners here 
during the past year.

Book Store
A busy place is the Book Store. If you wait, you II see 
all your friends coming in to buy anything from physics 
books to candy bars and gym suits. During enrollment 
time, it really is busy when everyone stocks up for 
the quarter.

Museum
The Violette Museum, located in Kirk Memorial, houses many 
items reminiscent of early days -- spinning wheels, a suit 
of armor, hooped skirts, old guns. The collection is 
growing constantly and is an interesting attraction of our 
college for visitors. Robert McKinney is curator 
of the museum.

Post War Planning

Construction of a new dormitory building, foremost in the 
post war building plan for the College, was started during 
the spring quarter. The architect's conception of the 
building, to be located on two blocks of ground east of the 
Kirk Auditorium, is shown above. Projected plans for the 
college call for a $750,000 auditorium which will fill the 
space between the two wings of Baldwin Hall. Below is the 
architect's drawing of the proposed John J. Pershing Building, 
which will be a student union hall when funds are secured and 
the building constructed.

Blue Key

Blue Key is an honorary service organization which has as its 
aim to serve the students on this campus. Throughout the year 
many worthwhile activities were conducted.

In the fall, the Student Directory was published. Then we 
all remember November 7, and the windy cold day. But the morning 
coronation and the long parade both provide memories of Homecoming 
Day that Blue Key was responsible for planning.

Other activities during the year included several benefit dances 
which helped substantially in sponsoring the foreign student from 
Czechoslovakia, MirosIav Berka.

On Senior Day, Blue Key was on the job helping conduct tours 
of the campus to better acquaint the visiting seniors with the college.

Pi Omega Pi

Pi Omega Pi, a national honor society in Business Education, was founded 
in 1923 at the college here by Dr. P. O. Selby, the present sponsor. After 
25 years, Alpha Chapter at Kirksville has an active membership of over 30 
and there are 63 chapters of Pi Omega Pi in colleges and universities 
throughout the United States.

Plans are being made to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the 
establishment of Alpha Chapter of Pi Omega Pi at the Teachers College 
at Kirksville by inviting all former members of Alpha Chapter and 
representatives of all other chapters to attend a banquet and dance 
at Kirksville on Saturday evening June 12, 1948.

During the past year, 1947-48, Alpha Chapter has initiated 27 
new members, students having 15 hours of business education or 10 
hours of business education and 5 hours of education and meeting 
the scholarship requirements of Pi Omega Pi.

Kappa Delta Pi

Tau Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, national honor society in education, was 
established on this campus twenty-five years ago for the purpose of 
encouraging high professional, intellectual, and personal standards. Meetings 
were held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. During the year, 
many fine programs were given by faculty members, including Miss 
Lucy Simmons, of the Social Science Division; Miss Betsy Worrell of the 
Speech Department; W. T. Martin of the Fine Arts Division, and Miss 
Melva Rae Gingerich, Dean of Women.

Lilbern Via was chosen by Tau chapter to represent it at the National 
Convention held in Atlantic City during the last week of February. Via 
made the trip by plane and enjoyed the privilege of hearing many 
national educators.

The most outstanding event of this year was the observance of the 
silver anniversary on March 18 at the Travelers Hotel. On this occasion, 
each Kappa Delta Pi student was the guest of a faculty Kappa Delta Pi 
member at a seven o'clock dinner. Faculty members were responsible 
for the program. Dr. Paul Selby, of the Business Education Division, 
acted as Master of Ceremonies. Twenty-three students and twenty-three 
faculty members were present.

Tau chapter has more young men on the roster this year than at any 
time for the last ten years. Candidates are restricted to students 
whose scholarship is a grade above the upper quartile. In addition, 
six hours of education are required for these elected during the junior 
year, and twelve hours of education are required for those elected 
during the senior year.

Alpha Phi Omega

Guided by its motto, "Service," Epsilon Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, 
National Service Fraternity, started the year with only 7 actives. The 
chapter has grown to a well rounded organization. At the annual 
homecoming, a float, was entered by the chapter. Alpha Phi Omega was 
the sponsor of a school dance given at the beginning of the fall term 
for the enjoyment and pleasure of the faculty and student body. Another 
highlight in the history of our chapter was a banquet given in honor of 
our new pledges. During Boy Scout Week, Alpha Phi Omega assisted with the 
Boy Scout Circus which was presented on the campus, also a radio script 
was given over KIRX by members.

In March, the new pledges received their active pins and a certificate 
to that effect was presented to them by Dr. Walter H. Ryle, president of 
the College and a member of the fraternity.

With the sponsoring of a spring school dance, the activities of 
Alpha Phi Omega were ended until the coming year, when the fraternity 
will again render its service to the college and the student body.

Phi Sigma Epsilon

The purpose of a social fraternity is to bind students into an 
organization of fellowship and brotherhood. The Phi Sigma Epsilon 
fraternity has performed this function on the K.S.T.C. campus for 
a number of years. This year the local chapter initiated 29 new 
members into the fraternity--the largest group ever initiated at 
one time in the history of the chapter. As the new members blended 
into a fellowship with the old ones, new heights in fraternity 
activities were realized, and these activities were chucked full 
of many memorable events--the chili supper down at Barney s--the 
rush smoker at the Sojourners with the chip-winning pledges and 
the strong black cigars--Deskin elected editor of the national 
fraternity paper--hell nigh t in Wade's kitchen featuring 
Brubaker's tricks. Stock s disappearing act, the revolving 
sugar can, and Shoemaker s luck--the Carnival Sketch highlighted 
by Speak s modesty Panethere s juicy kiss. Edward s heckling. 
Freeman and Walker's barking, Campbell s droll humor, Well's 
Dant for King campaign, Tiny s song, Vrenick's historical 
speech, and the laugh provoking excuse satire--the 220 dollars 
collected for the infantile paralysis drive--the benefit game 
over at Hurdland--the after meeting get-to-gethers at Walker's 
Library--and the final climax of the year--the campus-famous 
Spring Formal including the banquet at the Travelers and the 
formal dance afterwards.

Alpha Sigma Alpha

The year of 47-48 in retrospect brings many memories to A.S.A.

and still be the busiest girls on the campus.

We were really launched with Elsa Homecoming queen and Pat, 
Bev, Edith and Joyce attendants . . . Jean Pevehouse. American 
Royal Princess, back just in time for our de luxe "Alpha Jamma 
Club, ' and divinely colorful Gypsy Dance. The pledging of thirteen 
glamorous gals followed.

Mrs. Sarah Grim Wimp, alumna of Alpha Beta, was presented the 
Wilma Wilson Sharp national award as the most outstanding alumna 
member at our Founder s Day Banquet and ASA was mighty proud.

Christmas songs and food around Miss Zoller s fireplace to 
send us home in a holiday mood. ASA confetti girls at the carnival 
and Lois McCullough for our queen candidate. Then only the 
next day working furiously to get Kirk ready for the annual 
Sweetheart Dance . . . Glistening hearts, soft light and 
lovely girls.

Jean and Lois class queens . . . Alpha leads in dramatics 
and opera . . . Mother s Day, and as always, every girl's mother 
was the guest of honor at a sorority tea.

The Crack-O-Dawn Breakfast dance bid farewell to graduating 
seniors and ASA's newly engaged sang their love song . . . Yes, 
this was a big year for Alpha Sigma Alpha.

Cinderella Ball, and a lovely queen for the evening. Then 
on to the Bunkhouse for eats, songs, games and fun. Bang! 
It was all over--25 new Delta pledges! ! !

Christmas means songs, good food, good friends and lots 
of fun--and we had them all at our Christmas party at Betty Remmert's.

Sigma Sigma Sigma

The Tri Sigmas started off with a hang this fall. Fifty 
years of Sigma Sigma Sigma is truly an inspiration.

Rushing time found us blacking up for our Aunt Jemima 
breakfast and rhapsodizing over our Rhapsody in Blue 
dance. We topped all records by getting 27 super pledges.

We clicked in three directions at the carnival with 
Edie as queen, the Triga Girl Calendar winning second 
prize and the Jungle Club a success.

The pledges entertained actives with a backward party. 
Founders Day, April 20. was highlighted by the visit of 
a national officer. On May 1, our annual spring formal 
had a spring and May Day theme.

Football

The 1947 Bulldogs began preparation for the season's play 
with around 65 men reporting to Coaches James Dougherty and 
Boyd King for fall training. Eighteen of last year's lettermen 
returned and a crop of promising freshmen turned out. The 
Bulldogs went into training for their first game at 
Pittsburg, Kansas. Joe Asperger and Stan Serwatka were 
responsible for Kirksville s two touchdowns. Jack Wells 
and Dale Arnold worked from behind the Kirksville line 
for long runs.

The Bulldog's second game, played at the Pumpkin Bowl, 
Eureka, Illinois, also ended favorably for the Dogs. The 
Kirksville line was responsible lor holding the Eureka 
team scoreless. Gourley, Arnold, and Asperger scored in the 
second half. Dant successfully kicked all three conversions.

On October 3, the Bulldogs played their first home 
game. Coming from behind in the third quarter, Kirksville 
defeated Rockhurst by a one point margin, Arnold and Reich scoring.

The next game, also played at home, found Kirksville 
bowing to Springfield in the first conference game with 
Sadich scoring the only Kirksville goal.

Back on the road again, the Bulldog eleven played Cape 
Girardeau in a game noted for its many fumbles. The Dogs 
fumbled their way to their first M.I.A.A. victory.

Back home again, the team was handed its worst defeat 
of the season by the Rolla Miners. This left the Kirksville 
team with one conference win and two defeats.

Row one: Williams. Ray, Sanford, Cripps, Clark. Neal. 
Wells, Sadich. Cannon. Gourley, Fett. Row two: Davis.

(Page 103)

Journeying to Warrensburg gave the Bulldogs opportunity 
to even up the conference record. Jack Wells played an 
outstanding game, going over for Kirksville's only goal. A 
conversion pass, Gourley to Sadich, provided the point 
to defeat the Mules. Stan Sadich, fullback, broke a 
bone in his hand in the first quarter but continued 
playing.

Kirksville's Homecoming game, November 7, 1947, against 
Maryville was cause for no cheer among Bulldog fans. After 
a big parade and celebration, fans flocked to Stokes Stadium 
only to see a superior Maryville team outplay the Dogs in 
every department. Kirksville's lone tally was made on a 
pass, Vaughn to Hochstedler, in the third quarter.

The last game of the season played on a cold, rainy 
November night found neither the Bulldogs or Missouri 
University B team able to score.

The Bulldog's record stands 5 wins, 3 losses, and 1 tie. 
All three losses were conference games. Joe Asperger, 
halfback, was picked on the UP M.I.A.A. Conference first 
team. Jeff Neal, guard, playing his last year in Kirksville's 
line, drew a place on the second team.

This has been the first and second year of collegiate 
ball for most of the boys. They will have a chance to come 
back next year and play havoc among the M.I.A.A.

ELSA WEBBINK

Queen of the 1947
 

(Page 107)

Homecoming

A clear, bright day, its appearance belying the chill of 
the November day, was the setting for the annual Homecoming. 
The coronation of a Homecoming Queen, a pep assembly, parade 
of bands and floats, a football game, a Homecoming dance and 
the return of students of former years marked the celebration 
on November 7.

Miss Elsa Webbink, a junior student from Augusta, was 
selected from eight candidates as queen for the day. Final 
selection was by vote of the football squad. The Queen's 
attendants were Misses Beverly Hull, Pat Feese, Marjorie Clough, 
Edith Norton, Joyce Stroup, Marion Mouse and Carolyn Hamilton.

Jimmy Chevalier, of Moberly, former Bulldog gridiron great, 
was featured as the assembly speaker. Charles Kauzlarich of the 
faculty, M.C.ed the affair. Band music and short speeches by 
Pres. Ryle, and Coaches Dougherty and King were included on 
the program.

Twenty-six floats and eight bands took part in the gigantic 
parade through the business district during the noon hour. The 
parade was the largest and finest of any held by the college. 
The K-CIub, with its hearse, coffin and black clad pallbearers 
took first prize in the float contest. The Ag Club took second 
place and the Art Club third. Due to the high quality and 
originality of the floats, the judges had a difficult time in 
picking the first three.

The queen and her court were driven to Stokes Stadium before 
the afternoon game and were presented to the Homecoming crowd 
before being escorted to their seats in the stands.

The freshmen came out the losers in the annual Tug-Of-War before 
the game, as the Sophomore strong men pulled the Frosh through the 
mud pit separating the two teams.

Seven visiting bands paraded during the half time.

There was only one blot on an otherwise perfect Homecoming Day. The 
Bulldogs, who during the season had ruined homecoming for three 
other schools in games played out of town, went down to defeat at 
the hands of the Maryville Bearcats, 22-6.

George Olson and his band, one of the smoothest musical 
aggregations to hit Kirksville in years, played for the Homecoming 
Dance in Kirk Auditorium. The affair drew' the largest dance crowd 
in years as former students swarmed into the Kirk for the dance 
and the reunion.

The Homecoming was sponsored by Blue Key Fraternity. The members 
worked out all of the plans and arrangements for the day's activities 
and kept the events of the day moving. The Student Council 
backed the bringing of Olson and his band here for the dance.

Basketball

Basketball has for the second consecutive year held the 
lime light in the sports of Kirksville State Teachers 
College. The Bulldog Quintet began the season with ten 
straight wins before dropping their first game and then 
it was a strong Indiana State Teachers Team that defeated 
them. Surging on, the Kirksville State Teachers College 
cagers swept through their next seventeen games without a 
loss. This gave them the impressive picture of twenty-seven 
wins and one loss and the title of Champions of the M.I.A.A. 
Conference.

With this impressive record, the Bulldogs were looking 
forward to an invitation to N.A.I.B., but the representative 
from this district was selected by a playoff between Central 
College of Fayette, winner of the M.C.A.U. conference, and 
Northeast Missouri State Teachers. The Bulldogs won the playoff 
by defeating Central in two consecutive games, making their 
season won-lost record 29-1.

Then entering the National Tournament at Kansas City, with 
one of the most favorable records and considered as one of the 
stronger teams, the Bulldogs lost to Arizona State

Coach Boyd King, head basketball coach and assistant football 
coach, completed his second successful year as head basketball 
coach. His team has a record of fifty-nine wins against only 
four losses in two years, meeting some of the best competition 
in the Middle West.

Indeed, no praise is too great for such a magnificent

The Bulldogs receiving the runner-up trophy at Terre Haute Tournament.

Terre Haute Tourney

The Bulldogs, with a string of eight consecutive wins, 
began the new year at the Invitational Mid-West Tournament 
at Terre Haute, Indiana. The Kirksville Cagers won their 
preliminary game by defeating Murray Teachers of Kentucky 
by a score of 40-40. Moving into the semi-finals they met 
Eastern Illinois Teachers and defeated them by a narrow 
margin of 55-51 in a bitterly contested game, finishing 
at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

With these two victories, the Bulldogs went to the 
finals and were paired with the host team. Indiana State 
Teachers, at 7:30 o'clock that evening. The Bulldogs 
were defeated by a score of 65-58. The Kirksville squad 
played their last two games within a period of five hours.

Earl Dodd, All-Conference forward, was awarded the 
sportsmanship trophy; the Kirksville Cagers bringing home 
second honor and Dodd's award.

NAIB Tournament

The Champion Bulldogs, after winning the right to play in 
the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball tournament 
in Kansas City by defeating Central College of Fayette two 
games, lost a heartbreaking match to Arizona State Teachers of 
Tempe, Arizona. The Bulldogs pulled ahead of Tempe in the first 
half and were 7 points on top at half time but a fighting Arizona 
team came from behind in a close fought second half to win 68-66.

The N.A.I.B. tournament this year had a group of some of the 
strongest collegiate basketball teams in the nation. Thirty-two top 
basketball teams gathered in Kansas City for the tenth annual National 
Association Intercollegiate Basketball tournament.

Louisville, Kentucky, who won the N.A.I.B., played in the Olympic 
playoffs in Madison Square Garden.

M.I.A.A. Conference

For the second year, the Bulldogs of Northeast Missouri State 
Teachers College have won the M.I.A.A. Basketball Conference. Prior 
to last year, the Bulldog's record had not been impressive. One year 
they had tied for first place in the conference. Last year, the 
Bulldogs lost one conference game--to Springfield. This year the 
champions won every game, from the first with Warrensburg to the 
last with Cape Girardeau. Only twice were the scores uncomfortably 
close; at Cape Girardeau the Dogs dropped one in the final second 
to win 48-47, at Springfield, the Bears fought right up to the final 
gun and Kirksville won by only one basket, 44-42.

The rest of the games were not close. The teams in the M.I.A.A. were 
good ball teams. They played basketball to win and never stopped 
fighting but they could not cope with the outstanding offensive and 
defensive play of the champion Bulldogs.

The Associated Press sports writers when choosing the mythical 
conference team picked three of Kirksville s players for their first 
team. Harry Gallatin, 6 ft. 7 in.. Center; Earl Dodd 6 ft. 5 in.. 
Forward; and Bob Lewis, 6 ft. 2 in.. Forward, were all voted 
All-Conference. Ralph Pink, 6 ft. 4 in., Guard, was voted a place 
on the second team.

Track

The 1947 Teachers College track squad finished four 
meets with two firsts, one third and one fourth to its 
credit.

The first competition for the Bulldog cinder men was 
the Culver-Stockton College of Canton. The Kirksville 
track team took first in all but three events and 
won 95-45.

Then the Bulldogs journeyed to Rolla to compete in a 
three school meet: Rolla, Springfield and Kirksville. Although 
the Dogs were good enough to win six firsts out of 
eleven events, they placed third in the meet. In 
the M.I.A.A. conference outdoor meet, the Cape Girardeau 
Indians were top men, Rolla getting second, Maryville 
third, and the Bulldogs fourth. The last meet of the 
season, with Parsons College, the Bulldogs again came 
out on top winning first in 13 events.

The Bulldogs relay team sparkled all season winning 
three firsts and one second. Asperger, Place, Pink, Bligh, 
and DeLaPorte were Kirksville's speedsters.

Don "Red" Bligh was a hard man to get ahead of on the 
100 or 220-yard dashes, taking five firsts and three 
seconds in these events for the season.

For the distance running Arthur DeLaPorte tallied 
three firsts and a second in the mile.

Paul Whalen was the man on the high hurdles, running three 
firsts and one second. Morris Osbourne did the honors on the 
low hurdles with two firsts and a second.

Raymond Shelton and Merle Wenneker took to the air in 
the pole vault and soared to three firsts and two seconds. 
Glen Stigall gained enough altitude to win two firsts in the 
high jump. The complete record for the Bulldogs was 43 firsts, 
23 seconds, and 14 thirds individually; and two firsts, 
a third, and a fourth as a team. Nineteen men were awarded 
letters for work on the cinders.

Band

The 1947-48 College Band organized with student officers 
aiding Paul Strub, director, in the details of rehearsals 
and administration. Social activities in addition to 
professional duties made the band a social as well as a musical 
organization.

Paul Strub assumed the duties of director of the band and 
brass instructor at the beginning of the Summer Quarter. 
Miss Catherine Cox, woodwind instructor, was assistant 
conductor.

Following the approval of the new band constitution, 
tryouts were held and a student conductor, Robert Utterback, 
cornet, Dinuba, Cal., was appointed. The elected officers for 
the band were president, Bill Davis, Kirksville; 
vice-president. Bill McClanahan, Milan; secretary-treasurer, 
Betty Miller, Hannibal; publicity chairman, Dick Johnson, Kirksville.

Professionally the band was busy all year. Beginning 
early in the fall quarter with the football season, there 
were few spare moments. The band played and marched at each 
home football game and accompanied the team to Warrensburg. 
In the Homecoming Parade the Band accompanied the Homecoming 
Queen as she ruled the parade. The band gave public concerts 
in Kirk Auditorium; and were guests at a tea in its honor given 
by the College Chorus immediately following the winter quarter 
concert. The Band played for assemblies, Christmas parade, 
coronation of the Carnival King and Queen, the opening of 
radio station KIRX, the basketball assembly in honor of the 
M.I.A.A. Champion basketball team and other occasions.

One of the most serious professional activities of the 
Band was a series of trips made to high schools in the 
district where concerts were played for the purpose of 
promoting better band music.

Socially the Band enjoyed a hayride, a skating party, a 
Christmas tea with the music department as guests, and a 
dance in the Women's Gym.
 

(Page 123)

Band

This was certainly a fine year! The Band was the 
first thing to be broadcast over KIRX and anyone 
watching would have been sure it was television 
from the way the members made certain their ties 
were straight and coats buttoned--even though it was 
about a hundred in the shade.

The new Band constitution set up a point system 
to determine who was to qualify for the letters the 
Student Council awarded. Starting at the beginning 
of the quarter with 500 points, every time a member 
was late or missed a day some credit was lost. Members 
had to play a solo or the equivalent to get back up to 
the required 500; and it got desperate in the fall--so 
desperate in fact that a couple of officers had to go 
out to a high school and play a solo on the last few 
days of the quarter. And many were the arguments advanced 
to the secretary trying to convince her that a tardy 
count was excused when the pull of the pin ball machine 
in the Snack Shop was too strong to leave on time.

The Band didn't mind playing for the football 
games--that is until it started to rain! And then 
it found out just how far it is from Stokes Stadium 
back up the hill and across the campus to Recital 
Hall, and how funny everyone looked in their shrunken 
uniform coats. Of course, that didn't daunt the band; 
oh, no; it played at the next game and didn't get 
warm again for a week and a half!

Opera

The opera "Martha" was presented April 29, under 
the direction of Miss Phradie Wells, of the music 
faculty. One of the major presentations of the year 
for the department, the opera was extremely well received.

A chorus of 40 voices and the College orchestra 
supported the cast. The leading roles were sung by 
Jean Pevehouse, as Martha; Johanna Zeigel, Nancy; 
Robert Sloan, Lionel; John Sorenson, Plunkett; 
Steve Melvin, Sir Tristan; and Jack Acuff, Sheriff.

Dramatics

Our campus Little Theater has had an interesting 
season this year. Soon after the fall quarter opened, 
work began on Clemence Dane s socially important 
"Bill of Divorcement which presented a problem in 
genetics, tolerance and duty. The show, directed by 
Miss Betsy Worrell, had a successful three night run 
in the Little Theater. This was Miss Worrell's first 
production on this campus and she came through with 
flying colors. The realistic setting for "Bill of 
Divorcement" was designed and constructed by Don Powell 
and a crew of students. The locale of an English country 
home was effectively portrayed in the paneled walls and 
muted greens and browns of the set. The winter quarter 
offered light one-act presentations directed by members 
of the play direction class supervised by Miss Worrell.

These one-act plays were presented in a series of three 
programs: on January 29, "Remote Control," directed by 
Keith Kreitner; and "Red Carnations," directed by 
Ken Ivers; on February 12, Strendborg's unusual drama 
"The Stranger" directed by J. L. Van Laningham was on the 
bill with an all women comedy "Devil on Stilts" directed 
by Margaret Jellum and the famous mountaineer comedy 
directed by Cliff Williams: the last program, February 19, 
included a college comedy "To the Lovely Margaret directed 
by Evelyn Taylor, Chekous riotous farce The Marriage Proposal" 
directed by Pat Feese, and Derwood Green directed a 
Hollywood satire "On the Lot.

The spring show "Love from a Stranger was presented 
on May 3, 4, and 5 in the Little Theater. Sherod Collins, 
head of the speech department, directed the show, which 
displayed careful artistic preparation. "Love From a Stranger" 
was a three-act mystery by Frank Vosper based on a 
story by Agatha Christie.

The Little Theater has been redecorated to form 
a sophisticated and interesting environment for 
future productions.

Freshmen Debate Tournament Winners.

Debate

November 17 and 18 found the embryo debate squad 
competing in the Annual Freshman Debate Tournament, 
which ended with Royal Miller and Mary Ann Graves the 
winning team. On January 4 and 5. three seasoned debate 
teams competed for the Regents Award of fifty dollars. 
Evelyn Phillips and Nancy Hanks defeated Ethelyn Franklin 
and Miroslav Berka and Royal Miller and Paul Anderek.

The debate squad got a chance at other collegiate 
teams December 5 and 6 at the Annual Midwest Speech Tournament 
held at Kirksville. The senior mens team, Steve and 
Bill Shinn, won 2 and lost 2 debates. The junior men's team, 
Paul Anderek and Royal Miller, won 3 and lost only 1 debate. 
The women representing K.S.T.C. won two and lost two of 
their debates. Mary Ann Graves, Evelyn Phillips and Nancy Hanks 
debated for the Teachers College.

January 9 and 10, the two men's teams journeyed to 
Normal, Illinois, to split six debates, both the senior 
and junior mens team winning 3 and losing 3. February 27 
and 28 found the debaters at the University of Iowa competing 
in their invitational debate tournament. The senior men's 
team managed to come home with 2 wins and 2 losses, the women 
failing to chalk up any victories.

On March 5 and 6 the debate squad got a chance to compete 
against Missouri teams at the state tournament at Warrensburg. 
The senior men came back with 4 wins and 1 loss. The junior 
men equaled their record and the women won two debates. March 25, 
26 and 27 the debate squad moved to Coe College at 
Cedar Rapids, la., to compete in the Missouri and Illinois joint 
Pi Kappa Delta province tournament. The senior men and women 
teams went to this tournament.

The debate squad took part in exchange debates with Westminster 
of Fulton and Central of Fayette for practice. Activities of the 
debate squad are under the direction of Sherod Collins of the 
Speech Department. Mr. Collins coached the teams, arranged the 
trips taken and the debates held on the campus.

Miss Slemons and staff of the 1947-1948 Index.

Index

The fortieth year of continuous publication of the 
Teachers College Index began in March, 1948. First 
appearing on March 19, 1908, the paper has changed 
in size, from four column, four pages, to seven 
column, six column regular news size, and back to its 
five column tabloid size of the present.

The first editor was O. G. Sanford, with Professor 
A. P. Settle the first faculty adviser. The first business 
manager was G. W. Corporon, and Professor E. M. Violette, 
the first business adviser. President John R. Kirk gave 
the paper both moral and financial support.

The following business houses still in operation 
advertised in the first few issues and have been regular 
advertisers for the past thirty-nine years: Rinehart's, 
Myers Bros.. Palace Bakery, Dr. Bohrer, dentist, 
National Bank of Kirksville, Thomas Jewelry House, 
Bamburgs, Royal Shaving Parlor and Herboth's.

The paper has consistently supported the Missouri 
Collegiate Newspaper Association.

Members of the staff during 1947-48 included the 
following: Fall--Norman Buster, James Byland, Robert Dant. 
Joe Danclovic, Carolyn Hamilton, Sam Parnas, Helen Haupt, 
Lloyd Hickey, Betty Hickman, Waldon Reger.

Winter James Amon, Iva Marie Emmons, John E. Goeke, 
John Plummer,Patsy Ruth Riley, Lawrence Sternfield, 
Joe Danclovic, Carolyn Hamilton. Spring--Richard Lee. 
James McCollom, Maxine Mosley, Karl Schwabe, V. R. Schell, 
Lawrence Sternfield.

Max Benner has been advertising manager during the 
year, and Bill Dawkins and Gerald Butler have done the 
art work. Miss Agnes Slemons is adviser.

Echo

Yes that pile of pictures, papers, and trash in 
Ophelia Parrish 208, finally was separated and the 
1948 yearbook emerged from it. All together, the year 
was hectic under the new but expert advisorship 
of Kenneth Sykes.

Then just to make things a little more interesting, 
the editor, Carl Fisher, graduated almost before 
production was underway. Ercil Ewing, the assistant 
editor, who didn't know a bleed from a mortise, assumed 
the job of editor and struggled through, with success 
finally crowning the year's struggles.

Members of the staff whose resourceful help made 
this production possible include Ollin Drennan, assistant 
business manager; John Goeke, Joseph Goeke, Harley Maggart, 
Evelyn Phillips, Harold Anderson, Lloyd Hickey, Bob Gibbs, 
and Vinita Holman.

In conclusion, we of the staff hope that the student 
body of this campus enjoys looking at and reading this 
Echo as much as we have enjoyed working on it.

Grandview Heights, Veteran's Housing Units

Last spring, a veteran's housing project, which now 
provides housing facilities for both single and married 
veterans, was completed on this	campus.

The unofficial title by which this little community 
was known in the spring was "Mudville Flats." A little 
later, self-government was introduced and the title 
"Grandview Heights" was adopted as the official 
name.

Since that time many comforts have been installed 
to produce homelike roundings for the veterans living 
in these quarters.

Grandview Heights served ,as a haven to many students 
who were unable to find a place to stay during the 
critical housing shortage. Veterans can look to these 
housing facilities in the future for a nice, restful 
and economical place to live.

Lilbern Via, senior from Moscow Mills, was the first 
veteran to occupy the single men s dormitories. He eagerly 
moved in during that stage when the carpenters were 
putting the final touches to the inside and the occupants 
had to shift for themselves to prevent their being nailed 
up with the wall board.
 

(Page 131)

The married veterans apartments have provided the 
greatest relief to the congested housing in Kirksville. 
Within a very short time after their construction, 
married couples were swarming in to make these 
apartments become actual homes to ex-G.I. s who were 
unable to find suitable living accommodations in Kirksville.

The first family to move into the apartments was Mr. 
and Mrs. Eldon Banks, of Palmyra, Missouri.

However, the honor of being the first family to 
have a baby born while living in these apartments 
goes to Mr. and Mrs. John Dixon.

Below are a couple of pictures which show a typical 
married veteran s home life in these apartments. Yes, 
they do have to help the wife, but having a pleasant wife 
like Mrs. Dixon, and a cozy little place to live enhances 
things. And, of course, with a pretty youngster like that, 
almost any father would be happy to help with the housework 
during his spare time. But attending classes and labs 
along with study leaves little time for housework for 
most veterans.

Dear Friends,

You gave me a very difficult assignment one which I almost ducked
by keeping all eight girls as Queen. That wouldn't have been so 
unfair at that.

However, I finally chose Jean Pevehouse as Queen and I'm sure 
she'll be a very lovely addition to the 1948 Echo

My thanks to you for the honor of and my congratulations to the men
of North East Missouri State Teachers College.

Sincerely, Ronald Reagan

P.S. Excuse this pen, it is acting up pretty badly. But I can't excuse
the writing because it's really bad, all the time. I can't do any better.
I was born left handed and was made to use my right hand. I've often
wondered if I could have done better had I been allowed to use the left??
Pictures being returned under seperate cover.
