"The cover of the Record this month carries the architects sketch of the
new dormitory [P.E.O. Hall] now being built on the Cottey college campus.
"It is expected that it will be completed ready for occupancy by the end
of the first semister [sic], barring unforeseen delays." |
October 1940
Cottey senior Betty Labbitt of Montana is featured on this cover. She
was a P.E.O. and recipient of the Montana state
scholarship in 1939-40. The November issue of the Record
states: "Betty's interest is in arts and science. She is
active in the Y.W.C.A. and the International Relations club. She does
work also in one of the churches of Nevada. This picture as well as
others that appear in
The Record from time to time indicate the type of girl enrolled in
the P.E.O. college." Below Betty's photo are images of Main,
Rosemary, Neale, Missouri, and P.E.O. halls.

Main Hall
(administration and class rooms)." |
August 1955
"These Seniors are enjoying a golden, sunlit tramp over
B. I. L. Hill. Reminiscing, perhaps, about the
joyous hours they have loved at Cottey. The symbols on their coats
remind us of one of the hightide experiences in college days--days when
legends are born which youth so happily interprets."

January 1956
"Tall and stately Main Hall Tower reachers
toward the blue of the Missouri sky, the symbol of Cottey College. To
every Cottey alumna it IS Cottey. Around the first-year student the
Tower folds comforting arms. 'Remember, you aren't the first to stroll
my campus. You won't be the last.' The Tower beams, nods in quiet
dignity, and closes its eyes in memory." |
August 1956
"'We're off to Cottey,' will re-echo in the homes of scores of P. E.
O.'s this month as final preparations are made to visit the campus for
the two-day Cottey College Seminar, September 5-7. For many it will mean
a change of trains at Union Station, Kansas City, just as it did for
these Dottey Cotteys on the cover. This September, Cottey-bound girls will
be traveling from 31 different states [... and] will mingle with girls
from Hawaii, the Philippines, Holland, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Korea
and Colombia in the cultural melting-pot that is Cottey!" |

"An informal moment before the beginning of the academic processional
for the fall Convocation at Cottey College finds
President Blanche H.
Dow receiving last minute assistance for an uncooperative hood from Dr.
Orpha Stockard, chairman of the department of English. Watching closely
(beginning at Dr. Stockard's left) are Dr. John Strasser, Dr. Henry M.
Gregory, Jr., Dr. Beatrice Brooks, Cecil W. Baxter, Jr., Dr. Edwin C.
McReynolds and Dr. John A. Caylor." |

"The new Cottey College Lodge on B. I. L. Hill was dedicated December 15
and replaces the lodge destroyed by fire in February, 1966. Located on
the same site as the first lodge, the new building is nearly twice as
large with an exterior of red brick veneer and western wood cedar siding
and window walls on the north and south sides. Inside, the large
one-room social area is paneled in pecan wood and a massive fireplace of
native stone centers the west wall. The Lodge is used for dinner
meetings and social gatherings by both students and Cottey faculty and
staff."

"Anyone who has visited Cottey College retains in mind the clear, clean
lines of the beautiful chapel which centers its campus. This month a new
class will arrive and, as those who have gone before, its members will
hear the chapel bells and learn to love this landmark, a gift of
husbands of members of the P. E. O. Sisterhood."

March 1968
"A coffee hour in
P.E.O. Hall is one of the varied social events that
students of Cottey College enjoy. Formal and informal events dot a
Cottey student's calendar. In the cover illustration are students from
Arizona, California, Colorado, Washington, Louisiana, Minnesota,
Illinois, Idaho, and Arizona [sic]."

Students are, from left, Sarah Helgerson, Iowa; Jane Brackhahn, New
Mexico; Sherilyn Robertson, Minnesota; Sachiko Iijima, Japan; Roberta

"Last winter's snow and ice storms, the worst since the 1880's, left
tree limbs intermingled with the breath-taking snow scenes of the Cottey
campus. This picture was taken by Forster L. Day, assistant professor of
music and director of the Cottey Choir."

October 1977
"P.E.O. celebrates 50 years of ownership of Cottey College this month.
It was at a convention of Supreme Chapter in October 1927 that P.E.O.s
voted to accept Cottey Junior College as a gift from its founder Alice
Virginia Cottey Stockard. The college became the second educational
project of the Sisterhood."
