(Page 5) Officially Withdrawn (Page 6) dedicated to.. PROFESSOR JAMES STEPHEN STOKES Upon the decision to use TEACHING as a theme for our yearbook, it seemed fitting that the 1945 Echo be dedicated to Professor James Stephen Stokes, who has been teaching for nearly sixty years. Coming here in 1905, after being graduated from the University of Missouri and Harvard, Professor Stokes developed a department of physics and physiography. In 1925 he was asked to landscape the campus and at the length of three (Page 7) The Garden as Mr. Stokes Created It and one-half years had accomplished the task. He was so successful that he was asked to convert a swamp on the college farm into a stadium, which, when completed in 1930, became known as Stokes Stadium. Without Professor Stokes' devotion, initiative, and tireless efforts, the Teachers College could not be all that it is today. So it is with humblest gratitude that this book is dedicated to Professor Stokes. (Page 8) UPON THE SUBSTANTIAL FOUNDATION OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS REST THE FOUR CORNER STONES OF THE CAMPUS - PRESIDENT RYLE, DEAN EUBANK, MRS. ELLISON, AND THE FACULTY. ABLY ASSISTED IN MANY WAYS BY THE HEADS OF THE DIVISIONS, THE TEACHERS COLLEGE MOVES PROGRESSIVELY FORWARD GUIDED SKILLFULLY BY THEIR EFFORTS Our teachers are capably directed by... (Page 9) THE ADMINISTRATION (Page 10) Dr. Walter H. Ryle, in his eighth year of administration, is more than just the President of the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College; he is the very spirit of the institution. Dr. Ryle personifies the initiative, strength, and drive that has made K. S. T. C. grow in the past and that will make us continue to grow in the future. Under his progressive leadership new buildings have been erected, a new curriculum has been established, and other outstanding features added. During this period of war, President Ryle is meeting the numerous problems which face our institution admirably and is faithfully striving to provide the students with better training. The PRESIDENT The President and the Board of Regents of the Teachers' College (Page 11) BOARD OF REGENTS The Board of Regents comprises the highest administrative unit of the Teachers College. The Board is made up of six men selected from various parts of the district by the governor of the state. The state superintendent of schools is an ex-officio member. The powers of all other administrators are received through the authority of the Board of Regents. The employing of teachers, receiving bids on work on the campus or buildings and the signing of contracts make up a part of the duties of the Board of Regents. Activities and policies of the Teachers College are to a large measure controlled and decided upon by the Board in their quarterly meetings. Present members of the Board are W. A. Cable, Hannibal; J. A. Cooley, Kirksville; R. R. Quinn, Fulton; Supt. R. C. Scantlin, Ex-officio member, Jefferson City; C. W. Shelton, Macon; H. I. Sears, La Plata; and R. A. Zeigel, Kirksville. C. W. Shelton R. A. Zeigel R. C. Scantlin H. I. Sears J. A. Cooley W. A. Cable R. R. Quinn (Page 12) DEAN OF THE FACULTY Dr. L. A. Eubank, dean of the faculty, is the man who is responsible for those splendid assemblies we have had this year. He supervises the granting of credits, gives out information about students to employers, arranges class schedules, and acts as chairman of the Curriculum Committee. The headship of the Division of Education is just one more duty which keeps him the busiest man on the campus. DEAN of Women Mrs. S. H. Ellison, dean of women, in her capacity as director of the freshman orientation program, becomes the first friend of all new students. Not only does she supervise the housing of students, enforce regulations, sponsor the Pan Hellenic Council, and manage the school calendar of social functions, but no college activity is complete without her gracious charm as hostess. Her work is co-ordin-ated with other activities of the Division of Personnel Service. (Page 13) HEADS OF DIVISIONS Dr. C. H. Allen is head of the Division of Personnel Service. This is the department of the college which aids the students in making social, educational, and vocational adjustments. Through the Bureau of Guidance the division deals with these personal problems and relationhips of the students. Prof. J. T. Angus heads the Division of Extension Service. This division deals with public relations. It includes the Bureau of Field Service, Bureau of Correspondence and Extension Teaching, Bureau of Placements, and the Bureau of Alumni Service. Prof. Bailey Wright has taken over the direction of the Division of Business Service due to the resignation of Henry L. Enochs. This division is responsible for administering funds of the Teachers College. It sees to the maintenance of the college, handles all disbursements of the school, and administers the Student Memorial Loan Fund. (Page 14) THE FACULTY Norvell C. Allen, Agriculture; Edward S.

That's what happened to all who joined a sorority or fraternity this season. Parties for new members, dinners for alumni, never a dull moment. And as a side line everyone entered at least two professional organizations just to complicate matters. It's hard to tell whether we worked more for the organizations or in the class room.

Yes, it was our Student Council or legally, the Student Association of the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College. The Student Council's activities began this fall with open houses . . . dancing, games, refreshments. School shows gave us a lift after a busy school day. At Christmas, much hurry and bustle ensued preparing for the formal Christmas dance. Decorating the auditorium was fun and lots of work too . . . the evergreen that didn't arrive . . . the false ceiling with its stars...the gorgeous tree in the center. Members of the Student Council formed a receiving line to welcome guests presented by Mrs. S. H. Ellison, dean of women. After Christmas excitement, there were class teas to break the monotony. Remember the Valentine Tea given by the sophomores ... a Christmas cactus centerpiece, heart-shaped red napkins, red candles . . . ? On February 16 came the carnival. A bowling alley, various concessions, a rogue's gallery of faculty shots, and refreshments were among the evening's attractions. The highlights of the event were the stunts by various organizations with "Shakespearean Hash" enacted by members of the Modern Literature Club taking first place. With spring came the annual coronation dance and the crowning of our Echo queen. (Page 33) Top Row: Miss Alma K.

SIGMA SIGMA SIGMA (Page 38) Mr. Karl Webb, Sponsor; K. D. Cannaday, Bob Northcraft, Bob Rufener, Vice-President; Fred Smith, President; Sydney Sterrett SIGMA TAU GAMMA The Beta Chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma began its fifty-third year with four students and one alumnus participating. They gave their annual rush banquet at the Traveler's Hotel. The students pledged Sig Tau and a supper in their honor was given at Santen's Cafe. The organization gave a Forty-niner dance on the campus and a smoker at the home of their [acuity sponsor, Prof. Karl Webb. One pledge was taken in the winter quarter, but before he could become active he was called to service. The fraternity lost several members to the armed services and one member dropped out of school to teach in the Goring High School. Our one pledge is a wearer of the Purple Heart badge of the U. S. government. The Sigma Tau, although small in membership this year, is proud of both its past and present accomplishments. Taus have had their share of victories in class elections. They have enjoyed splendid fellowship and spirit of cooperation both in their weekly meeting and in their campus activities. On carnival night, they presented "The Aight of It". We have been saddened by the death of former members in the armed service: Chellis White of Kirksville; Howard McVey of Monmouth, Illinois; C. B. Attebury of Kirksville, and George Johnson of Queen City. (Page 39) BAND Row 1: Eggert, Griffith, Whittom, Underhill, Ruhwedel, Kaufman, Reynolds.

A lot of things have happened--from a speech on Mexico by Mrs. Sharp to burned cocoa by (?)--but we have had fun regardless. A lot of credit for the organization goes to Mr. Richardson, our sponsor.

A.C.E. The Association for Childhood Education has gone "all out 100 per cent" this year, having as members every student in its field. It has as its initial purpose the raising of standards of the professional training of teachers and leaders in the field of education of young children. The project for the year was taking care of small children during P.T.A. meetings . . . highlights ... a baby picture booth of faculty at the all school carnival . . . programs given by Miss Fawcett, Dorothy Sharp, Mrs. Estes, Ruth Straight . . . Christmas tea at Miss Whitson's home. CARDINAL KEY This ends another year of trying to be of service. As usual we granted our two scholarships. A Christmas box was sent to the boys in the Veteran's Hospital at Springfield. Now we are starting to collect "Funnies" to be made into scrapbooks for these veterans. Cardinal Key girls made a personal solicitation of all the students on the campus in the Red Cross drive and were in charge of the annual Citizenship Day program. (Page 42) ELLEN H.

INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCIL The Inter-fraternity Council is an intermediary board for the purpose of festering friendly relations between the two fraternities on the campus. The president and one other member of each fraternity are members of the council. Beside these four there are the sponsors of each fraternity and the faculty adviser, who must not be an alumnus of either organization. Dr. John W. Hollenbach is the Inter-fratemity Council adviser and presides at the monthly meetings where rules for rushing and pledging are discussed. (Page 43) ELLEN H.

Our respective initiation services were preceded by an early morning breakfast and a supper. The stunt for the carnival had a truly intellectual setting. We assisted the Modem Literature Club in sponsoring the meetings on Creative Writing that were held in March.

This year Betty Drakes, Delta Sigma Epsilon, served as president; La Vera Motter, Pi Kappa Sigma, vice president; Iris Mittendorf, Alpha Sigma Alpha, secretary; and Martha Thoelke, Sigma Sigma Sigma, treasurer. This year, as in previous years, Pan Hellenic sponsored the banquet at which a scholarship cup was awarded to the sorority having the highest scholastic average.

Selby, Miss Ruth Roberts, Mrs. Laura Summers, and Calista Thomas attended the national conference at Chicago during the Christmas vacation. (Page 46) READER'S ROUND TABLE The Reader's Round Table is an informal organization for those interested in reading or hearing poetry and prose. This year the members heard a program on local writers, which was presented by the language-literature department, listened to records by interpretive readers, joined College Players in a picnic, and gave choral readings. Janet Leslie presented a varied program for the group. ROMANCE LANGUAGE CLUB The Romance Language Club is composed of students who are studying or have studied either French or Spanish. The business meetings are conducted in one of the two languages and a program is given by one of the groups. This year plays were given, a Spanish dance was presented, French songs were sung, and Spanish poetry was read. Officers elected are as follows: Dorothy Sharp, president; Nancy Cox, Spanish vice-president; Erma Lee Rieger, French vice-president; Nancy Roy, French secretary; and Charlotte Haley, Spanish secretary.

I appreciate very much the faith you have placed in our Art Staff in asking that we make the selection. The winner was chosen by three artists and myself but not until after much discussion regarding the outstanding beauty of the canidates. We know they were all beautiful and it was indeed difficult to make the final selection. I sincerely hope that our choice will meet with your approval as well as that of the campus.

These people are chosen because of their character, scholarship, leadership in extracurricular activities and the possibility of future usefulness to business and society. They represent a cross section of the most outstanding personalities of America in undergraduate life today. The main purpose of the publication is to bring the names of these outstanding students before the business world and others who annually recruit students.

Although there were few men on the campus, Coach Gehringer developed what looks to be a promising team. Teams played were: Kirksville College of Osteopathy, Moberly Junior College, Iowa Wesleyan, and Hannibal-LaGrange Junior College. The "Bulldogs" lost six of the eight scheduled games, but they had the fighting spirit and with more experience they will undoubtedly make a better showing next year.
