This is the “Victory Program” for the 67th Annual Meeting of the Southeast Missouri Teachers Association, held at Cape Girardeau, Missouri, on 22-23 October 1942.
The inevitable theme of the 1942 meeting of the Southeast Missouri Teachers Association was World War II, in which the United States had been an active participant for less than a year. “Headliners” John J. B. Morgan of Northwestern University (“Mental Health in Time of War”), Gregor Ziemer, formerly of the American School of Berlin (“Educating for Democracy”), Ethel Kawin of the University of Chicago (“The Guidance of Children in War Time”), and featured speakers W. W. Parker, President of Southeast Missouri State Teachers College (“The Ramparts We Defend”), Clark G. Kuebler of Northwestern University (“Education for Freedom”), and State Superintendent of Schools Lloyd W. King (“Our Front”) all addressed the special challenges facing educators in wartime. In addition, Homer J. Smith of the University of Minnesota spoke on “Generalities About the Work-World.”
The (Southeast Missouri) State Teachers College Orchestra, “Wings Over Jordan” (a “nationally known chorus of 35 Negro singers”), the Cape Girardeau Central High School A Cappella Choir, and the Cape Girardeau Symphony Orchestra provided entertainment for the attendees. In addition, complimentary tickets were available for the football game on Friday evening between the (Southeast Missouri State Teachers College) Cape Indians and the University of Missouri’s “B” team.
This advance program was sent to Mrs. Gwendel Lee Clark of Fredericktown, Missouri.
