We present this volume to you, regretting that it is no better, but rejoicing that it is no worse. Our work has not been all play. Our muses w ould not always respond, but we have w orked bravely on and this is the result. To the Senior the annual is the mirror of his college career. To the undergraduates and faculty, w e hope that it will realize the dream of uniting us as friends. We have brought you all to the same level, and have laughed with you, not at you. No malice is intended; we have charity for all, and in your charity we expect you to believe in our charity, and so laugh w ith us.

NEVA STULTZ Croton CHESTNUT { DURB CLASS HISTORY Why do we say class history, History suggests the past, ancient civilization, kings, battles, and such things. But to the Seniors, our college days will never be of the past but of the ever living present. The whole story stretches out in a glorious panorama before us. First, w e see ourselves as verdant young juniors, joining the rank of Kentonians and struggling through the mazes of those first bewildering days. Then we recall those w eeks of working and playing together, which better than anything else make for lasting friendships. Finally, we are ready to or- ganize a class and take our places in Kent life. And such a life as it was! We see again those parties and dances which everybody thoroughly enjoyed and which were really such a credit to the class. Once more we thrill with pride over our splendid basket ball record, for our team was an all star cast, you know. And whoever could forget our Junior picnic? Such food, such a good time, such laughter were never before seen or heard of. A wonderful year, and one we shall always remember with pleasure, but it is to our Senior days that w e turn even more eagerly. In the fall of 1921 we are back again, greeting old friends and welcoming the new. This time it is our turn to be Big Sisters and make the new students feel at home. We hope we did our duty as well as those before us. Days seem just full of duties vi ' hen one is a Senior. Of course we had constantly to be a shining example to the juniors and to maintain the dignity of our superior position. Did you heed, dear jun- iors? Were you properly impressed? Of minor importance, indeed, to this our highest mission, were the diffi- culties presented by our quest for knowledge. But vvre survived unscathed the snares laid for us by practice teaching. Well, w e hope that those trials of learning to teach w ere not entirely without effect in priming us to prepare the young hopefuls of America to be its future presidents and congressmen. On our social calendar were the usual dances, w hich, by the way, were not usual at all, for our Armistice Day dance, our Christmas dance, and all the rest, bore a certain stamp of distinction w hich characterizes everything under- taken by the class. Even more unusual was the Carnival, a red letter day in our class annals. What a host of joys to have crowded themselves into a short two years. And now, as the time of our commencement draws near we realize deeply just how short those years have been. We shall miss our friends, we shall miss the good times, the opportunities, and all those things that have so en- deared to us our school. But it is au revoir, Kent, and not goodbye, for even now we are eagerly awaiting the day when you will open your hands and your hearts to welcome us back. Home-coming will be for us a real Home-coming. ADELE ANDREWS. CHESTNUT DUPB CLASS PROPHESY SENIOR ' 22 in ' 32. Oh! for a fairy barque to carry me to ' 32. Why not Henrietta Elizabeth? — she ' s my motor (A prosaic fairy, to be sure, but a faithful one! She was my fairy barque in ' 22.) She chugged gleefully when she learned her mission, and varned that my journey would be a long one Certainly! Ten years would scatter •22. Henri started strong as had ' 22. Took every hill on high, so had ' 22. Up, up she climbed. No slope too steep no crag too rough for Henri — nor for ' 22. We had a long trip and a hard one, Henri and I But we found what we sought for — ' 22. Her indomitable spirit is everywhere — in work, in play, always in success. We passed Kent the very first day. Kent! Only a milestone, only an achievement in ' 22. I wonder what ' 22 has meant to Kent. She has contributed to the art department. It has a building of its own. FLORENCE WARREN is on its faculty. There ' s a new dormitory, RUTH SWARTZ is matron. MRS. IRENE BLYTHE sees to the welfare of some 3,000 students. NAOMI HYLAND has charge in that white building on the hill. That ' s the college hospital. School nurses receive training there. Kent glories in her share of ' 22. I wonder What Ohio ' s share has been For answer Henri turned toward Cleveland. Sure enough! Here are two names that were familiar in ' 22. Girls who have reached their ambitions — to teach in Cleveland schools. FRANCES MURRAY I see, in the Superintendent ' s office with MRS. HELEN LOVE They directed me to the East side. What shall I see there, I wonder? On the way we passed HELEN STULTZ still personally interested in Americanization. CHESTNUT DURR_ But the finest sight I was yet to behold was a bu ' Iriing dedicated to the homeless children of Cleveland. MURIEL SWINEHART and DOROTHY SCHORLE v.ere there, giving money, time and self to these unfortunate waifs. The girls gave me a new spaper. It proclaimed a most patriotic senator ADELAIDE VAN ORNUM using her influence for good at Washington. She is supported by a conscientious editor, MABEL TROYER (Remember her success in ' 22.) Here ' s an interesting ad. that proves OLIVE HACKETT ' S ability at making things go in a shopper ' s tea roo m. I knew ANNE McSWEENEY couldn ' t be far aw ay, and I found her managing Walter with as much ease as she had the Annual in ' 22. Henri was becoming impatient. She was thinking Cleveland had a full share in the glory of ' 22. So she transported me to a cozy cottage on the lake. The housewife ' s face is familiar — Oh I HAZEL HATHAWAY! what a fortunate home that one must be! She gave me news, that DOROTHY STODDARD was living, loving. and being happy , as v as her want. OLIVE STRIBLEY had been there with her collegiate basket ball team (She was pretty good, you remember, in ' 22.) GRACE SHARPE spends her summers there sketching. The nearby village was enthusiastic about its new minister, and his w ife, w ho was HELEN DICKERSON in ' 22. Next stop Columbus and with it more representatives of ' 22. HELEN HILDITCH a modem Portia on the stand for justice. HELEN HOSKIN doing the best she can in the department of state. Ohio must appreciate Helens for in the department of physical education, I find the peppy one from the FirZSIMMONS LINE. There ' s VERNA LEBOLD distributing council from the bureau of education. On her certificate lists you may see CECILE DALLAS ' name and ANNA BARTON ' S. True to their profession they have spent their career spreading the spirit of ' 22. Now, we must leave Ohio. The light of ' 22 shines far. In the south, we see CHESTNUT DURB BESSIE PHOENIX spreading the rays ■of education among her kinsfolk in Kentucky ' s mountains. MABEL WOLFE gives her strength to the purpose she upheld with us in ' 22. NELLIE McNULTY has charge of an orphanage school on the gulf. A peep at Palm Beach! LENORE VETTER with Roy forever. ANNE NOLAN as always in close proximity to marsh and Fenn. DORIS FUSSELMAN sunny as ever, entertaining a crowd on the lawn. Hark! I hear a voice! ELIZABETH RIEDINGER ' S to be sure — reproduced by Edison — and the gymnast on the beach — have w e seen her before? Sure — it ' s EMMA KLOHE. Lost, Henri? See here ' s a Traveler ' s Aid — BESSIE ORT I declare! She was made to help people. She sent me to LEILA KIRK (in charge of the local Red Cross chapter) for equipment for a world wide search for ' 22. With Henri loaded generously we were off. This time toward Chicago where y e heard HELEN JESSEL as Carmen in Mary Garden ' s famous company. We stopped for water at a little school house standing alone on a stretch of Kansas plain — MINNIE STINGEL teaches there. A state farther west brought forth MILDRED SCHNEGG giving a settlement of mountaineers their first experience of Kent ' s project system. Those tw o letting their lights shine in desert places as in ' 22. We spent a night with the shepherds on the slope. LUCILLE SHAFFER was there to make us comfortable. Farther up amidst the most beautiful scenery we caught NELLE AUMANN with easel and palette putting the finishing touches to her masterpiece. Summer camps are always interesting. In one FANNIE PARRISH was arranging the diet for invalid guests. EVA O ' CONNOR had a class of heavyweights on the lawn directing them by her own system of reducing. They were accompanied by an orchestra. RUTH GELVIN conducting, with ISA ANDEF SON bowing her leading fiddle. They told me that HAZEL GINDLESPERGER wrote their music. In the evening CHESTNUT { DURP the guests gathered to hear a worthy lecture by ESTELLE LOTZE Her subject related to Agriculture. We thought a run into Mexico might be profitable, and indeed it was. CLAIRE CLINGAN had established a fresh air school in Mexico City for over a thousand children. LOVINA KELLER was her right hand helper. Another day found Henri and me writh PENELOPE HOUSTON in Los Angeles. She ' s a press correspondent and publicity agent for NEVA STULTZ De Mille ' s latest star. She told me I would find BLANCHE KING along the beach somewhere, either swimming or reading Vogue and munching chocolates. NELLIE HULTZ is the comedian for the whole colony. The Steamer! The first day out unearthed MARGARET FINK traveling in the interest of the Woman ' s League. She proved a genial companion, as did another lady on board, ETHEL PERKINS, the deck nurse. We stopped at Hawaii. The first American school we saw, echoed MINNIE HATCHEL and ' 22. RUTH SCOTT came aboard. She is a foreign director of our Y. W. C. A. While the ship docked at Hongkong, we visited HELEN HOPKINS, struggling with a native mission school. PEARL DUTT ministered to our fever at Manilla. She is the chief M. D. on the islands. A run over to India revealed OPAL WILSON occupied with missionary teaching. We almost missed Australia but ' 22 called us from a school of dramatic art where DOROTHY KNOX holds forth. The shores of Africa looked formidable, but the interior opened the secret to ALVINA LEVEY ' S future as a collector and distributor of diamonds. In Morocco We spent a night with KATE BENSON. (We knew in ' 22 she was made for a president and she ' s it at a University there.) ADELE ANDREWS served v ith her as dean of wromen, radiating her charm and grace throughout the whole school. Lavin in Paris, introduced his most successful model MARYE BROWN, of ' 22. Even starving Russia harbors two of our noble sisters. CHESTNUT DURB MRS. EMILIE ELLIOTT and ROSE IVANDITTIE. American dollars are helping them relieve suffering in thousands of sick minds and bodies. At London MARY YOHE met us, with her husband, the American Ambassador. They came home for the inauguration. On deck, one day, we came upon . . NELLIE SMITH traveling companion to an amiable lady w hose granddaughter was aboard with her governess, MARY McCarthy. At the Metropolis w e saw The Follies of 1932. GRACE COOKE starred! In the crowd LUEENA HULL hailed us, with information that she directed literary activities at Vassar. A book-dealer ' s sign caught our eye — ELIZABETH CURL! At the reviewer ' s desk sat MRS. JESSIE RHINEHEART And in the window the season ' s most successful book claimed MARION TROTTER as its author. Now for Washington! The procession has begun. Who is the very stately matron by the side of the new President? ESTHER MANNS? A First Lady! ' 22 is represented in the White House!

If you did, I ' m sure you heard the music of an orchestra, the subdued talk and laughter of many voices and saw the beaming smiles on the faces of both students and faculty. I ' m also sure that you knew at once that it was a dance given by the Junior Class of 1921. This was the first dance we had given and it w as here we were recognized by all as an organized class. It soon became known that the members of the Junior Class worked together for the good of each other, the class as a whole, and the college. Now, I v, ' ant to ask another question. Have you ever visited any of the Junior class rooms during recitation periods and heard the answers that the Juniors give and the intelligent questions they ask? If you have, I know you will join with the members of the faculty and student body in saying that the Juniors hold their own, not only in social events, but in class work as well. Now , the third question is. Did you ever see the Junior basket ball team play? Did you notice the pass w ork, the accuracy of the shots, and the in- spiring manner in which the team was backed by the entire class? Did you hear the husky Team Rah! which came from the throats of the Juniors? This is the proof that the Juniors are certainly not lacking in athletics and have a good supply of pep. After reading these accounts of our activities, you no doubt think that the Junior class of ' 2 1 is one of the best classes that has ever been enrolled in K. S. N. C. You are right! It is to us, at least, the very best class that has been enrolled in any school. Now , I will try to tell you the names of those who have helped to make this one of the foremost classes of the college. Mr. Ivins is our faculty advisor and it is he who has guided us through the difficulties that surround every college class. We all v ish to thank him for his guidance and help. Miss Dunbar, our librarian, has been ready al- ways to help us in our reference v rork and study, and we thank her for her aid while we were yet new to the life of a college student. We also would like to thank all of our instructors who have taught us many things that will be of great use to us in our later lives. The last thing we have to say is: We ' re glad that we came to Kent State Normal College and hope that w e may all be back next year with a bigger love than ever for the entire school in our hearts. Rah! Rah! CHRISTINE CLEVENGER, ' 23. CHESTNUT DUPP K. S. N. C. God gave all men all earth to love, But since our hearts are small, Ordained for each one spot should prove Beloved over all. —KIPLING.

C. in 1 922, the Col- lege Section is the largest, with the most vim and pep. Whatever the College Section, w ith its equal division of co-eds undertakes, it is certain to achieve success. It is the College Section which furnishes our basket ball stars, our cheer leaders, our football stars, and our most enthusiastic rooters. Enjoyable parties during the year have proved the class to be cordial and hospitable. Not only does the sec- tion boast of athletic and social leaders, but also dramatic ability as was shown in Clarence, Five out of the ten members of the cast for this play w ere college students. Physics, civics, biology and lab , Chemistry, French and math ' matical fad, Library silence and Prexy ' s talks formal — Enough to stump old Socrates — We down ' em all and yell like mad For our old college, Kent State Normal. HELEN BRYANT, ' 25. CHESTNUT ( ' ' DUPP THE BEECH GROVE I know a little beech grove that grows beside a river, A-leaning o ' er the river to see itself below; it bends above the water with slender leaves a-quiver, It croons across the water a song I used to know. I found it in October, when half its leaves had fallen. And half v ere still a-rustle, startled by the frost. And through the years between us today I heard it calling The tune I still remember, though all the v ords are lost. HEWITT, ' 23. MUSIC 1 am the magic key that can unlock The soul ' s deep anguish, hidden ne ' er so well; I am the quiet of the hermit ' s cell. The whispering wave, the elemental shock Of torrent meeting torrent; I can rock The Soul ' s foundations till a gaping hell Yawns round it, or in sylvan accents tell Of love-lorn shepherd piping to his flock. All w ords of human utterance are mine; All formless thoughts that rise within the heart I can upgalher into drops like wine. And by the potent magic of my art Mingle their essence in a draught divine. To gods and men strange madness to impart. HEWITT, ' 23.

E M-TtxTJC THE ANNUAL BOARD 57 CHESTNUT ( DUPR EDITORIAL As an introduction to the Chestnut Burr, the editor hopes to set forth in these brief sentences some of the ideals to be attained by this class of 1922, as well as the school which they represent. Before and since the great World War the leading nations of the earth have been groping about as if yet in doubt as to the real source of power and greatness. They have exploited wealth and commerce and expansion of ter- ritory and of armies and of navies, and yet they cry out as if in despair. Many look to the idealists of America for help and yet even here we have spent mil- lions in hopeless projects. So hopeless, moreover, seems our help from ma- terialism that America for one has volunteered to confess to the world that not by power nor by might but by another spirit is our strength. The invita- tion w as given, and the response was The Disarmament Conference at Wash- ington, the results of which only the future will know . But at any rate it seems to be the beginning of a new diplomacy. From whence did it come? From the spirit in which our nation was bom and reared. To promulgate it is our greatest task and our school system our greatest opportunity. Recently our ambassador at the Court of St. James said, The strength of a country is not measured by armies and navies. A school-house at the cross-roads is more potent than a dreadnaught on the seas. One little church on the hill is worth a score of regiments. This utterance proclaims an American ideal. To the home, the church, and the public schools we must look to maintain it. To further this end the State of Ohio is not the least among the states of our union in her efforts. That the education of her citizens may become more uniform and general, by an act of the General Assembly, approved May 19, 1910, two new normal schools were established. One of these is now known as Kent State Normal College. Through her efficient faculty her growth and influence has been constant. It is the hope of the editor that every member of the class of 1922 may reflect credit upon this institution and meet successfully the ever increasing responsibilities and opportunities of life. The American teachers are no lon- ger incidental factors in the development of the lives of our boys and girls, they are the managers of the laboratories of citizenship. Let us honor our high calling by our worthiest efforts. EDITOR. CHESTNUT ( ' f DUPP CHESTNUT I DUP CHESTNUT ' f( DURg MOULTON HALL The weekly House Meetings of the Hall have brought about a friendly co-operation between our Head Resident, Mrs. Bourne, and the Moulton Hall girls. By w ay of fun it w as agreed at the first of the year that each floor should entertain the other tw o floors in turn. The third floor led w ith an entertainment that far surpassed any circus we have ever seen. The second and first floors follow ed with equally amusing entertain- ments that sent us to bed shrieking w ith laughter. Our Christmas party put the Christmas spirit into us so firmly, that it lasted throughout the Christmas vacation. Home-coming w as the time for enjoying many feeds and va- rious other forms of merry-making for all. It is w ith a feeling of deep vacuity around the regions of our hearts, that we give Moulton Hall up to the coming class. Mrs. Bourne has mingled w ith us in such a motherly way that our love and respect for her have grown month by month. It is to be hoped that the Moulton Hall girls of the future will enjoy their home as much as we have enjoyed it. CHESTNUT DURB CHESTNUT i DURg LOWRY HALL Bewildered, homesick girls, striving desperately to keep back the tears, we met in Lowry Hall in mid-September. In prim silence we entered the dining-room, and used our knives and forks with such exquisite manners as Lowry Hall will not witness again until next September. The bulletin-board announced house-meeting. The mysterious house rules of which we had heard so much were to be revealed. We gathered in silent politeness, and listened attentively throughout the meeting. After the meeting, each corridor elected proctors with never-to-be-repeated seriousness. While yet quite young, w e attended the get-acquainted Lowry Kid Party. Sweet little girls of the present mingled in noisy joyousness with quaint little maidens from the Land of Story Books. Times soon changed. There were no more struggles with forgotten com- binations, no more tears of homesickness, no more untasted meals, no more quiet halls, but, instead, doors hospitably open, hilarious laughter, girls simply starved, and busy corridors. Thanksgiving arrived with the excitement of getting off. But vacation had scarcely begun when the lure of Lowry claimed us, and a lonesome feeling told us that we would be glad to return. Busy days followed. All those pongee handkerchiefs to finish in the next three weeks! Exams, were upon us, and the long-neglected, almost forgotten note-books were due! Eleven, twelve o ' clock, and the lights still gleamed through almost every door! Rumors abroad! Santa Claus is coming to Lowry! The designated time arrived. The musical clang of the hall-bell called us together about the tree, and Santy distributed gifts while we munched pop-corn and sang songs. Weren ' t we happy? Oh! ! ! Two whole weeks without seeing the girls! We half regretted the ar- rival of the long looked for vacation. The winter term began. We had all resolved to study much harder. We began at once by having parties and spreads in unheard of numbers. Of course we love Lowry! Who wouldn ' t? Each day it becomes dearer dearer to us. We loathe to think of the parting. As we are working, playing, studying, we are making friends, who are more lasting than the most carefully prepared lessons. CHESTNUT { ' ' DURg FOYER— MOULTON HALL DINING ROOM— LOWRY HALL CHESTNUT DUPP CHESTNUT i DURP OFF-CAMPUS The live wire group of the school is the big one that includes every student who does not live in the dormitories. This is the first college year that the off-campus group has included every off-campus student. Heretofore membership had been restricted to ladies only. This year ' s adventure has proven beyond all shadow of a doubt that the inclusion of men students has strengthened the organization. At any rate, whether the cause be the men, the enthusiastic president, or Mr. Manchester, this year ' s off-campus organiza- tion has commanded attention and gotten it. To begin at the beginning. When about one hundred and fifty prospective students arrived at Kent last September, they found the dormitory doors closed. All Kent ' s homes were open, however, and the householders received the students gratefully. It is this group of students who came together during the second week of school and organized into an off-campus section. From the moment the officers took their places, things began to hum. Mr. Manchester was chosen faculty advisor and helped along with the good work. The group practiced the school yells and songs, and showed the rest of the school how to yell and sing with the hope that their exhibition would instill a bit more pep into the student body. At one assembly meeting, just before the game with Bowling Green, the off-campus section gave the team boys a heap of encouragement to the tune of Auld Lang Syne. Miss Ott, our president, composed the words. We ' re with you, boys, we ' re with you, boys, We ' re with you in this fight. We know you ' ll win, we know you ' ll win, So play with all your might. We can ' t be there, we ' re sorry, too, But. we know what you ' ll do. You ' ve got the pep, you ' ve got the pep. So play the old game through. And while you play just think of us. For we ' re from off-campus. We ' re right behind you every game To wish you luck and fame. And once again we ' ll say to you We ' re with you in this fight. We know you ' ll win, we know you ' ll win, So play with all your might. The boys liked it; at least they said they did. Everyone remembers the party the off-campus section gave late in October. There were more students present that night than for any other school function of the term. The men ' s section have made themselves felt as an individual group in their Men ' s Club. We ' re glad for the Men ' s Club. Their parties and dances and minstrel shows are worthy of them. Their athletes speak well for Kent. The girls ' ranks produce some athletes too. It ' s a little early in the year to have heard definitely from them, but they ' re ready to be noticed. Practices indicate that the off-campus girls ' basket ball team will be the strongest on the floor. So you see that much has come from the group of scattered students whose only means of getting together is their section organization. It is to be hoped that the strength of this year ' s group will be a heritage to coming college years. At least it may leave its motto, We ' re with you. 66 CHESTNUT { ' ' DUPP CHESTNUT DURR WOMAN ' S LEAGUE EXECUTIVE BOARD Margaret Fink President Anne Lewis Vice-President Adele Andrews Secretary Marie Kulow Treasurer Zelda Terry College Class Pearl Dutt College Class Mabel Troyer Senior Class Anna McSw eeney Senior Class Elizabeth Bucker Junior Class Florence Critz Household Arts Mildred Cooke OfF-Campus Dorothy Knox Moulton Hall Mabel Wolf Lowry Hall Grace Sharpe Y.

One of the activities which the League fostered and which will stand out in the minds of the woman students and faculty members as one of the enjoyed events of the year, was the Big Sister Tea held November 22 in the music room at Mculton Hall. The Big Sisters acted as hostesses to their little sisters. The hour before the program was very enjoyably spent in getting acquainted. The program which was given by some of the talented members of the League was followed by the serving of tea. Another notable event of the Fall term was the special Christmas program given by the Women ' s League in assembly. Several readings were given and Christmas stories told. These were followed by a one act play, The Travel- ing Man, which was well staged by three students in the Reading class under the supervision of Miss Davis. In the Winter quarter another special assembly was given in which the Executive Board in behalf of the Woman ' s League presented the physical education department with a fine set of scales. The program consisted of several health speeches and a song given by the members of the Executive Board. The scales were graciously received by Miss Hyde who acknowledged a need for them in her department. During home-coming the Executive Board of the Woman ' s League sold college colors. Everyone wore these colors in token of loyalty to Kent State Normal College. In May the Woman ' s League planted and dedicated a tree to John Bur- roughs. This is the third tree that has been planted in the Woman ' s League row between Moulton and Lowry Halls. The mid-spring students were welcomed by a party. This affair was well attended by the old students who immediately undertook the responsibil- ity of being hostesses and making the new girls feel welcome. The accomplishment and development of all the plans and activities of this organization are due to Miss Bayliss who has been a thoughtful adviser to the Executive Board of the Woman ' s League and a good counsellor concern- ing the welfare of all the women of the college.

The fall term get-acquainted part} ' , the bazaar, and the mid-winter colonial party are regular annual affairs looked forward to by the entire student body. Each one of these enterprizes in 1921-22 was a well-defined success. But these social affairs are not the backbone of the Y. W. C. A. The thing of which the Association is most proud is the regular Sunday evening service. This year the meetings have proved unusually profitable. Dur- ing the winter quarter the general topic of The Student and His Bible was made the special theme for each meeting. Among the speakers were Mr. Crowe and Mr. Dorrance, college students. Super- intendent W. A. Walls, Mr. Stopher, Miss Prentice, and Miss Davis, the Y. W. adviser. The Y. W. is also proud of the fact that through its efforts over one hundred dollars was contributed by the college, students and fac- ulty, to the European Student Relief fund. The Y. W. C. A. is not as w ell organized along certain Associa- tion lines as we wish that it were, but we are growing and becoming each year a more definite part of the vital life of the college. CHESTNUT { DUPR SPECIAL MUSIC STUDENTS MUSIC You ' ve met these girls before. They were introduced by name early last fall when nearly every assembly brought some announce- ment for the special music girls. Since then you have met them often separately and as a group, in connection with the music mem- ory contest. This contest was in the nature of a term project for them, correlated w ith regular classroom v ork in piano, voice, har- mony, theory, appreciation, and methods. No group in the school has been more actively doing something all year, than has this group. 1 heir measure of success w ill be exhibited even before the Chestnut Burr has come from the press — in the annual recital in the spring. It is appropriate that in the picture the supervisors ' class should be grouped around Miss Shamel and Miss Bachman, who have made the center of their activities for the year. Miss Bachman, at the piano, has supervised the girls in the training school; Miss Shamel (behind 72 CHESTNUT BURP her) has been the instructor in the college subjects. Reading from the left the girls are Eva O ' Connor, Mrs. Poole, Gladys Thompson, Elizabeth L. Reidinger, Miss Shamel, Blanche King, Helen Ladd, and Anna Sadler. The school orchestra, organized and directed by Miss Shamel, consists of twenty players. It made its first appearance before the student body in assembly on the 1 6th of February. Its second ap- pearance was made Februarj ' 23rd, on home-coming day, before the student body, training school, and visitors. It has outgrow n the first collection of music and is now working on a more difficult collection. Its appearance before the school always brings forth the heartiest of ap- plause. The Training School under this department, with Miss Ora Belle Bachman as director, has presented programs at the college assembly. At Christmas the High School Glee Club gave two numbers. The fifth, third, sixth and first grades have given programs at different times and the Junior High boys have lead the college in mass singing. At another time the entire Junior High gave a program. The last w eek in May was really the best week of the year for the music department. An interesting recital was given, the voice and piano students being assisted by the elementary school, the high school glee club, and the men ' s and women ' s glee clubs of the college. Altogether this has been a big year for the music department. CHESTNUT { DUPB SPECIAL ART CLASS SPECIAL ART CLASS— WEAVING CHESTNUT DUPP ART DEPARTMENT Do you want to Wear about the art department? Perhaps you do not know that you can specialize just think what it means — in art at Kent State Normal. There are ten students specializing this year, six who ■will graduate in June. There are six courses offered, none of w hich you w ould want to niiss- In Drawing 1 1, the students learn to draw what the children will enjoy most and also those projects that are suitable for each grade. In Designing or Drawing 2 1 , the students learn to use originality and in- genuity. Everyone likes to make something which no one has ever thought of before. You are always given that privilege. During this year the girls have made velvet table runners, pillow tops, and sanitas mats. But th t is not all. Almost every girl has a table lamp in her room and v fants a pretty shade on it. Parchment shades, therefore, were made for the lamps, any design de- sired being used. Everyone is anxious to take Drawing 12, or handwork. In this course hammocks, doll tarn o ' shanters, bonnets, hats and sweaters, memory books, memorandum pads, hand sew ed books, reed baskets, v riting cases, and many other things are made. It is exciting as well as interesting to see vi hat can be made with a piece of charcoal and an eraser. In the translations of nature, the trees really seemed to sway in the v ind. The students sketched not only nature but the different members of their class as well. This drawing is done in the free hand class. I wonder how many of you could name some of the great artists and identify at least five of their w orks. Study of this kind is taken up in art ap- preciation, or Drawing 26. But I have one more thing I should like to tell you about. In order to tell you so that you will understand, 1 must take you up to the weaving room. Sh! walk quietly! Listen! hear that beating sound? The loom makes that noise. There are three looms, two small ones and one large one. As you see, there are only two girls working now. The other girl just went to class. As the bell (to go to class) rang, she said: I don ' t want to go; I would much rather stay here and weave. It you think the girls do not enojy it, you should see them work outside of class time. On the wall you see the rugs which the girls have made. They are real ones, and will wear a long time. On the small looms, the girls make pillow tops, dresser scarfs, bags, and other articles that are finer than the rugs. Weaving is not all that the girls learn. They study the different kinds of cloth, something practical as well as inter- esting. Don ' t you think this course is worth your consideration? Wouldn ' t you like to specialize in it? Don ' t miss the opportunity. 75 CHESTNUT i ' i BURR_. THE PASSING OF THE RAIL FENCE Grandfather Parker gave a glance which took in every corner of the room, then he slipped cautiously outside. There was no one in sight. Sue, that was John ' s wife, had gone down the road to the ladies ' meeting at Craw- ford ' s. John was somewhere about, but he was not to be seen. Grandfather slipped across the lawn, and out the back way through the orchard. His fear that John might see him occasioned those stealthy glances behind and to either side of him. It was growing dusk now, and there were hosts of shadows playing about among the rows of trees. Grandfather started at one and another of them, fearfully. What if John should be there, and should see? Through the soft languor of a spring-time dusk Grandfather hastened along. His step w as somewhat halting and uneven. Grandfather wras very old. He w as w eary and w ornout, and there was a sharp ache in his back and in his bowed shoulders even before he had reached the edge of the pasture. Nevertheless, as he stopped there, and leaned his weight against the old chest- nut tree, his shoulders seemed to straighten, and his head to lift. A long, gently-sloping stretch of lovely green pasture land unfolded be- fore his eyes. A peaceful, velvet sort of thing that seemed to be fused into the dusk somewhere out there. The sight of it made Grandfather want to straighten up, and to breathe with all his feeble strength the youth and the magic in the fresh spring air. Then he remembered. He had not come for such a purpose; he had not even thought of such a thing. Grandfather had come to make a little pilgrimaee, a sacred journey. He had come to view the last remnant of the old rail fence. John had said it must go, and had given a long list of reasons, reasons quite logical and obvious enough, even Grandfather admitted. The old man had sat still, saying nothing, but with a vk hole train of thought trooping through his mind. In the days that follovs ed he had listened to talk of it, and of the progress which was being made in the work. From their talking he knew that the last bit would go tomorrow. Grandfather gazed at it — a few yards of the time-worn, weather-beaten, blackened rail fence. There was a dimness more dim than that of age in his eyes. For a long time he stood thus, his gaze riveted upon that pitiful, pic- turesque little remnant of other days. With a half-unconscious sigh he bowed his head, then turned his halting footsteps toward the orchard path again. JULIA CHAIN.

HISTORY OF CLUB To promote organized debating, good fellowship and the proper school spirit among the men of Kent State Normal College, the Blue and Gold De- bating Club was organized. Stated bi-monthly and numerous special meetings were held in which developed interestng floor discussions and debates. To rest is to ru.st ' w as the club ' s motto and President Yeo w ore the his- toric gavel flat on either end. Dick Cain declared the club would have to provide new leads for his Eversharp or he could not afford to continue writing voluminous minutes of the activities. Treasurer Zappolo made a splendid record for thoroughness, promptness, and doing the right thing at the right time. Casey, Crow , Overholt, and Murlin were always ready for a battle of words and sure enjoyed bombarding the enemy. Mr. Zingery ' s insistance on Keep the ball rolling ; Dunn ' s belief that a joke now and then helps the world along; Schneider ' s dramatic talent; and Christie ' s mechanical ability contributed momentum.

CHESTNUT { DUPP THE LIBRARY Because all other departments in a school depend upon the Library department for their work in the bibliography of each special subject, the library of the Kent State Nor- mal College was one of the first departments to be considered in the organization of the school. A year before the school was opened in Kent, President McGilvrey consulted a librarian and talked over library plans. When the first summer term was opened in 1913 there were library books to supplement the courses offered and a librarian was in charge of the department. During the eight years of the school, the library has grown to about 20,000 volumes. It subscribes for a large number of magazines and daily newspapers and is a member of several learned societies, receiving their publications. The bound file of magazines, which now numbers several hundred volumes is of inestimable value to all classes and is in constant use. The service of the library is extended to instructors, pupil teachers preparing for work in high school and elementary schools, senior and junior high school students, pupils of the elementary school, and in addition to those in residence, students from high schools in the vicinity come a distance of from one to twenty miles to spend whole days working on debates and school themes. Women ' s Clubs of Kent and surrounding towns also make use of the library. The opportunity for library service to teachers and students connected with the school is limited only by the amount of money appropriated by the legislature for books and for librarians to carry on the work. It is the plan of the library organizations to re- place worn books, to purchase new books in every needed subject, to furnish sufficient duplicates for the number of users, to furnish classics and works of standard authors for students who are especially interested in reading further than class assignments and for recreational reading. It is hoped that the library staff may be increased in accordance with the growth of the library that there may be always a sufficient number of librarians to thoroughly organize the library material to make it easily accessible to users and to allow time for personal work with the students. A special library building adapted to the needs of the students is the dream of the department. These things will all be pro- vided when our needs are known, for the people of Ohio wish provision made for the edu- cation of their children and are willing to be taxed for that purpose. Those in charge of the library department of the Kent State Normal College are eager to have in this de- partment of the school, as well as that of the whole school, a matter of pride to the State of Ohio. CHESTNUT ( DURP MANUAL ARTS BUILDING MECHANICAL DRAWING CLASS 82 CHESTNUT { DUR MANUAL TRAINING One of the largest and most important of the departments in our schools and colleges today, is the Manual Training Department. Any high school that is without Manual Training is considered behind the times. Shop work forms habits of observation, precision and honesty, because in working out a project, a person does it either right or wrong. Upon entering for the first time the Manual Arts building at Kent State Normal College, a person gets the impression that it is a one story building. But as he looks about, he discovers that he is in a three-story building. His first impression of the place is immediately changed, for from the ground he has entered the third story. By this time he v ishes to make an investigation of the place. The first thing that will attract his attention will be the mechanical draw ing class. The mechanical draw ing room is provided with twenty-four drawing tables and at each table he sees an industrious student expressing his ideas in black and white. These ideas are put upon paper in a language that is used by all nations. Then his attention is attracted across the hall to another room. In this room he sees another class of students working at tv enty-four small desks. They are doing coping-sa v work, and square and slant end sawing. In this •work they learn the methods of teaching the young boys in our public schools to make their own playthings and some useful pieces of furniture. Next the visitor passes into the wood-working department. Here he sees the students at the twenty-four benches, sawing, planing and hammering. The student learns to use the wood-working tools skilfully and in a way that enables him to teach others effectively. On this third floor he will also notice the wood-working machines, such as planer, jointer, rip saw, and lathe. These are all run by electric motors. Next he goes to the second floor and sees the lumber room arranged in a systematic order. From this floor he passes down to the first floor and sees the metal working class, noisy and industrious. Here he will see where in- struction is given in harness making, machinery repairing, and cement work. By this time he is able to see how a manual training student shapes his ideas on paper, wood, and in iron. The wood-working course teaches the student to be precise and accurate in measurements. This knowledge enables him to turn out valuable and beautiful pieces of furniture. The mechanical drawing course familiarizes him with the tools of the draughtsman, thus enabling him to draw plans for machinery parts, furniture, and even for homes. Although Mr. Van Deusen is a little man, we must congratulate him for his great energy, patient guidance, and the good instruction that he always gives to his students. Mr. Van Deusen is assisted by Mr. Damann, well known as an earnest and tireless worker. Kindly and sympathetic, he is a friend to all who come in contact with him. We have a right to be proud of our Manual Training Department in K. S. N. C, for it is one of the best in the state; it is keeping up with all the latest educational movements of the time. WILBERT E. MATHIAS. CHESTNUT AT DUPB THE ALUMNI The Alumni Association of Kent State Normal College is fast becoming an effective organization. At present there are more than one thousand mem- bers v rho, after graduating from the K. S. N. C, find themselves looking for- ward each year to the Home-Coming and Commencement exercises, when old friends may once more live through their happy college days. Each year new fellow -alumni members are to be greeted. They are eager to take a share in the responsibility of making our organization, not only one that will be permanent, but one that all may regard with a feeling of love and pride. New faculty members are always given a hearty welcome as the Alumni are interested in the organization and development of the school, which for them has spelled opportunity. Although our Alumni Association is composed of graduates of only nine years, w e know that our influence is becoming more and more widespread as our class-mates are found, not only in Northeastern Ohio but in many states of the Union, and even in the Philippines. As w e meet this year to w elcome the new members into our ranks and to renew old friendships, we feel more deeply than ever that Kipling expressed our creed w hen he wrote: When Crew and Captain understand each other to the core. It takes a gale and more than a gale to put their ship ashore; For the one w ill do what the other commands, although they are chilled to the bone, And both together can live through weather that neither could face alone.

His eyes had a haunted look; his hair was mussed. As he spoke, his voice sounded as hollow as the crack of doom, whatever that is. Will she never come? She promised to come to my room at eight o ' clock; it is now eight-four and she is not here yet. His pacing grew faster and he wrung his hands ner- vously. A casual observer might have concluded he was agitated. He was. He spoke again in a tense, vibrant tone. It is now eight-flve and she is not here. What can be keeping her away?

Very glad to meet you. How do you do, Mr. School. Hasn ' t this been lovely weather? How long have you been in town? Oh, we organized in October, but you probably did not hear much about us that soon because we hadn ' t really started our activities. Then you know the first three months are necessarily spent in getting equipment together and making a foundation. You must have interesting meetings. Miss Campfire. Oh, please, call me Kokokoho, rather than Miss Campfire. You see that is really my first name, because Campfire includes all the different Campfires but Kokokoho means just me. Yes, our meetings are interesting but we like best those in which we sew or crochet, and of course our ceremonial meetings are always enjoyable. Have you done much sewing and crocheting? We made organdie and cheneal flowers which were sold at the Y. W. bazaar. Then there are things going on right now in that line but we haven ' t made those public yet, and so I ought not to tell. What about your outfits, where do you get them? We make them. Our dresses come already cut out and we sew them up. But you buy your headbands? No, indeed we don ' t. Each girl makes her own. Yes, you may well exclaim, be- cause it does seem impossible, but it Isn ' t. The girls make their own and they prixe them when they are finished. It would take considerable to induce one of them to give up her headband. The figures? Oh, yes, every one means something. The figure furthest to the side is the owl and is the symbol which represents Kokokoho. All of the girls put that on their headbands. The next is the crosslogs and fire which of course is the symbol for the Campfire and is national. Then the one right in the center is the symbol which belongs to that girl alone. Each one picks out her individual name and symbol. No wonder they prize the headbands when they mean so much. I suppose you ought not to tell what you are planning for the future? Well, no, not really, but I hear that there are rumors of numerous hikes and out- door parties and, unless something happens, of going camping this summer. Isn ' t there a guardian? Who is she? Yes, there is a guardian and she is Miss Pa — . Well, she might not like to have her name told, but she is one of the faculty and teaches sewing. I ' m sure any of the girls will tell you who she is because they all like her and are proud of her. Who is in the circle? When we have roll call, we answer as follows: Our Guardian, Yoki MISS PATRICK Our President, Kwo-ne-she ADELE ANDREWS Our Secretary, Uda GRACE SHARPE Lexse KATHRYN HAMLEY Nyoda ZILA BEHM Ayudi GRACE CHANNON Kewane Alan DORIS LESLIE Twaklia RUTH SNYDER Wikaki Nahon LUCILLE SHARPE Anapo EVELYN TOMPKINS 88 CHESTNUT ' f{ DURP Home-coming of course is a bigger and better affair each year. Nineteen hundred and twenty-two brought more alumni and former students than had ever gathered in Kent for a Hke affair. The visitors began to arrive early and the majority stayed longer than is usually the case. All through the two days a genuine joy seemed to pervade. The play was a brilliant success, the luncheon was the best ever served for home-coming, the basketball games were spirited, and the party Saturday evening w as a happy culmination for the long looked-for celebration. The anticipation of the home-comer is w ell expressed in the follovsring lines: (With apologies to Dr. Van Dyke.) I know that Athens ' s wonderful, and Miami is mighty fine. Bowling Green defeats us and snows us under from time to time; Ohio State is popular for youths on technique bent. But when it comes to real schooling, there ' s no place like Kent.

Our football field saw a season of hard use when the fourteen sturdy Kent warriors tackled and charged each other in its tawny dust making the team of 1921. We went against everybody that would play us and because of our showing the best teams in the conference will play us next year. Already contracts are signed with Mt. Union, Hiram, Ashland, St. Ignatius and Bowling Green. Pennsylvania State Normal and Akron Univer- sity are negotiating for games. With the increased number of men in school, our veteran players back, and a good number of high school graduates turned this way, we will keep up the good fight of 1920 and ' 21. All of our last year ' s basket ball regulars were teaching this year, but came back to play the alumni game at home-coming time. The new team showed its metal in every con- test and scored more points in the last half of nearly every game played than it did in the first. With the appearance of the annual, Captain Hardy ' s track team will have carried on our first track season. He was one of Akron Central ' s best men and has some promising runners working with him. This is March 23 and the baseball players are already on the diamond regardless of the snow that covers the hillside.

The Junior Off-Campus game was a battle the first half, with the score standing, 4-2, Juniors at the end, but in the last periods the Juniors ran away and won an easy victory, 12-3. They did this only through some fine floor work and shooting by their star center and Captain Carter, and some excellent guarding by Byrnes and Ort, Brown and Smith starred for the Off-Campus.

S. N. C. Monday night. It was the fastest game of the tournament, and a bitter battle from whistle to whistle. It was one of those hard to win, hard to lose variety, and the winners can feel themselves justly proud of the honor. In the preliminary game, for such it proved to be, the Seniors de- feated the Off-Campus, S-4, and won third place. Both games were in the third and final round. In the championship game, for both teams were tied with two victories apiece, it was fast and furious. At the first quarter the score was 0-0 and at the half, 2-2. In the last half both teams loosened up. With the score, 5-.5. H. Spinneweber (College) slipped one in from under the basket and the College led, 7-5, but J. Carter (Junior) dropped in a foul and it stood, 7-6. That ' s the way the game ended, both teams fighting hard. M. Cook, A. Joyce and M. Hawn starred for the winners, while J. Carter, F. Ort and R. Carl- son did the best for the Juniors. The preliminary game was slow. K. Benson and K. Gib- bons did the best for the Seniors while V. Brown and H. Rabb starred for the Off-Campus.

I tiptoed to the window and answered the call. Then creeping back to the bed, I put on my coat and hat and after making certain that no one else in the house w as astir, I stepped out on the porch roof and dropped to the ground. No sooner had 1 alighted than I was dragged into the shadow of a large rose bush. Are you sure your father was sleeping when you came out? said George. He at least sounded like it, I answered. Boys, it ' s time we were starting, said Turkey. At last my dream had come true. I was going snipe hunting. Even though I had to crawl out of a window in the middle of the night, the adven- ture was worth it. I could well remember the stories of snipe hunts that some of the older boys had told. Why shouldn ' t I be happy? I w as the one chosen to hold the bag into which the snipes were to be driven. The night was rather dark. The boys said the snipe w ould run extra well. We tramped several mlies back into the woods, and as we were cross- ing a small lot one of the boys called a halt. Boys, said Elson, unless 1 was mistaken I saw a pair of eyes shining near that large tree over there. I had a strange feeling about that time, but I w as going to see the thing through. Now, fellow s, said George, as he lighted the lantern w hich he had been carrying, we ' ll have to spread out and drive the snipe in. He set the lantern down by a log and showed me how to hold the sack. Now, Bill, he said, don ' t let any of them get by you. In a few minutes the boys had gone. I was the least bit nervous at be- ing left alone, but I gripped the sack tight, and waited. The boys had told me that the snipes would run directly towards the light. I was holding the sack in front of the light, so that I was certain to get at least one. As 1 was waiting for the boys to start the drive, I began to wonder what a snipe looked like. Suppose they were large; could I hold one when I had it in the bag. 1 w as turning these questions over in my mind w hen I heard the boys start the drive. They were about a half mile farther dow n the ridge. But instead of coming closer, they gradually seemed to get farther away. CHESTNUT ' f{ DUPB In a few minutes all the noise ceased. I was alone, and lost. I called for the boys, but they did not answer. What a fool I was to run off from home, I thought. The boys had played a joke on me. While I crouched there by the log, wondering how I was to get home, I felt a growng impulse to turn around. 1 fought against it, but slowly turned, and there not ten feet from me was crouched a panther. I screamed and tried to run, but my strength failed. My eyes were riveted upon those of the panther. The green of them burned into my brain. Eternity passed as I w atched the beast craw l nearer. Oh, why did the beast not spring upon me and end my misery? 1 thought of all the sorrow I was bringing my folks at home. I could see Mother going into my room and crying when she found me gone. Was that she 1 heard calling me now ? I tried to answer but failed. My breath was coming fast and hard. Something had a hold of me. 1 closed my eyes and when I opened them again, Mother was shaking me. Son, she said, I told you not to eat that pie before you went to bed last night.

Prentice Director of Training CHESTNUT ( DUPB JUNIOR HI6H ' 2 2 THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL The Junior High School consists of three grades, the seventh, eighth and ninth. School is carried on in the Junior High much as it is in the Senior High. The pupils go from one room to another for their different classes, and in several other ways they are like their older brothers and sisters. The school day in the Junior High School is divided into seven periods of from forty-five to fifty-five minutes in length. School begins at eight- thirty, and, except for an hour and a half at noon, is in session until three forty- five. There are three room teachers. A teacher whose desk is located in a certain room is called the room teacher of that grade. She is responsible in every w ay, especially for the conduct, of the grade of w hich she is in charge. Miss O ' Rourke is the room teacher of the seventh grade. The room- teachers of the eighth and ninth grades are Miss Mabee and Mrs. Olson. Mrs. Olson is also principal of the Junior High. The special subjects are taught by special teachers. These teachers are: Miss Pottorf, Miss Bachman, and Miss Hyde. The other teachers are: Miss Hazen, Miss Patrick, Miss Nixson, Mr. Van Deusen, and Mr. Boulet. Of course the conduct of the pupils in the Junior High is not perfect; in fact, for a w hile it w as so far from perfect that the teacher decided that some- thing had to be done. The pupils of the ninth grade then decided that they should govern themselves. And this is the plan that they follow ed. In each grade the three officers, president, vice-president, and secretary, and three other students -were chosen to act as the Student Council for that grade. The president acted as chairman and one of the other councilmen was chosen bailiff. The duties of the councilmen were to take the names of any of the pupils out of order, hand the complaint to the chairman, and meet with the other members to decide the penalty. If the accused student denied the charge. CHESTNUT { ' ' DUPP the person who handed in his or her name was called as a witness. Some of the penalties were as follows: w ashing the desks, w atering the plants, clean- ing the blackboards, and being denied the right of playing basket ball. Besides the separate councils of each grade, there is a council composed of the president and vice-president of each class. This council meets to decide matters concerning two or more of the classes. There are some features of the Junior High School that are very uncommon. There are eight educational magazines taken by the li- brary that are left in each room of the Junior High School for the pupils to read. And the pupils also have study periods in which one or two of their lessons can be prepared. This makes the work easier, as it leaves less to be done at home. To tell the truth, the organization in the Junior High is excellent because it allow s the pupils much freedom, but at the same time it gets results in the way of good lessons and good conduct. Each room in the Junior High School is fitted up with globes, maps, edu- cational pictures, books and magazines. Every Friday there is a Junior High School assembly in the music room. We occasionally sing but more frequently we are given educational talks. Some of them have been on Conduct, Manners, and How to obtain a book from the Library. Soon after our Christmas vacation, Mrs. Olson told us about her trip to Washington. When she had finished we felt as if we had all accompanied her. The seventh grade study Arithmetic, History, Geography, Literature and English. In Arithmetic they have built a house. They make all of their own plans and draw ings. In history they have studied the development of our country Several plays that they have given, have made this more interesting. In Geography they have special talks, lantern slides, lectures, and books. In Literature they have studied The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and Snow Bound. They have besides these subjects, sewing and manual training, which they attend twice a week. The eighth grade study Arithmetic, English, Literature, History, Civics, Geography and Biology. In Arithmetic they have studied insurance, stocks, bonds, taxes, and banking. They are given an imaginary allowance of sixty dollars a month. They may spend this in any way, but they must keep a record of all money spent. In Literature they have read Evangeline, Mid- summer Night ' s Dream, and the Vision of Sir Launfal. ' The work in Civics consists of a series of talks, lessons, and excursions. There w as a trip to the stores of Kent. Following this there was a general class discussion about the im.provements found. In Geography and History they have gone to The Kent Machine Company and the Mason Tire Rubber Company. The ninth grade subjects are Science, English, Algebra, and a choice of Latin, French, or Sewing and Manual Training. In Science they have visited the Akron Gorge, several sand banks, gullies and valleys. In English they have read The Lady of the Lake, Treasure Island and Marmon. The Algebra class takes problems from the book but they use all original rules. The Latin class has studied the customs and habits of the Romans. 107 CHESTNUT f ' i BURR Athletic activities are not neglected while we are seeking book knowledge. Last fall, during the football season, the Junior High School lurnished several men for the Senior High School second team. The ninth, which as you knov r corresponds to the freshman class in other schools, furnished two men for the varsity football team, several for the ' varsity track team, and for the baseball team. We also furnished one player for the girls ' basket ball team. The basket ball games between rooms were exciting at times, especially the inter-class championship games. These games, while not displaying the speed or ability of more experienced men, were, we think, as a whole very good. Baseball was taken up next with a team representing each room of the Junior High School. No Babe Ruths were discovered or any pitching marvels but we did play a good game of scrub ball. During the school year of 1921 and 1922 the Junior High School had many interesting social events. One of the parties w hich w as looked forward to probably the most was the Hallowe ' en party given the afternoon before Hallowe ' en. Some of the boys and girls of Junior High danced for Queen Spooka. A member of the Senior High School told a thrilling ghost story which increased the spookiness of the ifternoon. Queen Spooka seemed to have a good time also, as she nodded her head to every one. The parents and friends of the children joined in the fun. Afterwards the refreshments were served. Another enjoyable event was the Christmas party. Christmas carols were sung and some sort of a program w as presented by each grade. One of Santa Claus ' helpers arrived just in time to distribute presents to the seventh grades, but to the disappointment of the eighth and ninth grades, Santa had no gifts for them. He thought that they were too old to play with toys. Apples and cake were served after the fun. Every January or February v e have a sleigh ride party which is looked forward to. At the last one we met at the home of one of the pupils, then we had a sleigh ride through the country. After that we returned to the gather- ing place and here games were played and refreshments served. Everyone had an interesting time at this party. Another social event enjoyed by the Junior High School was a party given on Washington ' s birthday. There were old-fashioned dances by the pupils of Junior High. Some of the dancers -wore old-fashioned costumes which made the effect of the dancing more beautiful. Social dancing and games were in- teresting features of the day. Later, punch and wafers were served. Every Friday afternoon, for one hour, w e have social dancing in the gym- nasium These dances are very helpful to the boys and girls who do not know how to dance, but wish to learn. They, also, are enjoyed by those who can dance. The Junior High School spend many happy moments at picnics in the Normal woods. Lunches are served, of course, and games are played. 108 CHESTNUT DURP An interesting feature of social life in 1922 was a luncheon which the ninth grade girls ' cooking class gave the boys of their class. Music was enjoyed while they ate and in this way the time passed quickly. The eighth grade had a health campaign and the losing side gave the winners a party. Dancing and games were the main features of the day. This Junior High School has enjoyed other social events, but the one the ninth grade v fill never forget is the farewell party the seventh and eighth gave them. Since the ninth grade were leaving the Junior High School, the other tvvo grades thought it w ould be fitting to give them a party. If you have ever attended a farewell party you will know what it is. Dancing and refreshments were the pleasures of the evening. We think, as a whole, the Junior High School is pretty good and when we leave it to go into the Senior High School we can look back with a feeling of satisfaction on those three years when we were getting a foundation for a higher education in the Kent Normal Junior High School.

The problem of elementary education concerns itself with boys and girls. Ap- proach this problem by thinking of teach- ing boys and girls rather than teaching reading, writing and arithmetic. State the problem in terras of helpin.E; pupils to do better in their normal activities. The purpcse of elementary education should be: To help boys and girls to do better in all those wholesome activities in which they normally engage. This purpose implies an unqualified reference to the immediate present. The child is best prepared for life as an adult by ex- periencing in childhood what has mean- ing to him as a child. OUR PLAY GROUND Last summer some of the Home and School League mothers thought they would like to make some money for a play ground for us. They set up a stand and sold ice-cream cones, pop, chocolate bars, and chewing gum. The mothers took turns about selling these things. They made almost four hundred dollars. They enjoyed very much knowing how the children would appreciate it. By doing tliis they made enough money to equip our playground with an ocean wave, the swings, the giant stride, the trapese, and the fireman ladder. We thank our mothers very much for these things. All the children like to play on our play ground. Even when school is out we run for the play ground where we all have lots of fun. FLORENCE RAMICONE, JANET SMITH, JAMES HAUSMAN, VIRGINIA GABOR, Grade 4. We should save our money in the- school. Sometimes if we happen to have a nickel or a dime we would think of spending it for candy. But do not think of candy all the time. Think of the school bank. Save your money in the school bank. Little by little every penny, nickel and dime will grow into dollars and dollars grow into hundreds. So Save your money in the school bank. GEORGE SPAIN. TOYS The sixth grade boys made quite a col- lection of toys, such as tumbler, feeding pen, fish, balancing pony and wrestlers. Most of the boys gave theirs away for Christmas presents.

Then we pinned the pat- tern to the cloth and cut it and brought it home and sewed it. Then we stuffed it up. Then we made the hair on it. After the hair was dry we made dress- es. We made tlie pattern, then we had to bring cloth. When we got the dresses made we made the eyes. CLARA RAMICONE, Grade 3.

THE BOYS AT MANUAL TRAINING Some boys in Manual Training are making beds, chairs, tables, tabourettes, and settees, and some are making boxes. We have a hard time getting our figures right and to cut our lines straight. In making boxes we get our piece of st-awboard, then we make our lines. We cut the strawboard rn the lines and on some boxes we put colored paper. Next we put them in a p ' -ess and let them stand a day and then we nut our gummed paper on and they are done.

We thought it was very nice, and we wanted to play it. We thought it would be nice to have a puppet show. We learned it and played it. We chose Winifred Watrous to recite it. We made a gingham dog and a calico cat. We played it for the kindergarten and the kindergarten thanked us. We had lots of fun playing it. WINNIFRED WATROUS, Grade 2. THE HAPPY CHILDREN School is cut. School is out. The happy voices shout. All off for the playground. With laughter all about. The giant stride is big and strong, So all that go will swing along. The teeter-totters go up and down. The ocean waves go round and round. The boys will push. The girls will ride. When the boys are tired, The girls will tease. Oh, come, give us another ride, please. ANNABEL, Grade 5. THE PLAYGROUND We have a playground. And I ' m going to tell you about it. We have a merry- go-round and a giant ' s stri de and swings and we have a sliding board and a cnin- ning bar and a haud-over-hand bar. And we have a trapese, too. All these things make all boys and girls healthy and wise. GEORGE SAVULEV, Grade 3. THE SCHOOL BANK We have a bank up at the school. Every week they put money in the bank. They press a button, and a stamp comes out. And we paste them on a card. Some children have three cents, and oth- ers have one cent. I have one cent ' w the bank. CHESTNUT DURR I saw the works. They are long things, and when you press the button it goes un- der a wooden thing. There are pennies, nicliels, dimes and quarters. And there are little round things that yc-u put the money into. HAZEL A. MANES, Grade 3. THE ADVENTURE OP THE THREE ELKS INN (Franklin, walking along a road on a rainy night sees a light of a public inn called the Three Elks. Franklin enters the inn, shivering. A fire was burning brightly, but a crowd gathered around it, holding their chairs tightly so as not to lose them.) Franklin: Ho, Landlord, a peck of oys- ters for my horse. Landlord: What, your horse eat oys- ters? Franklin: Give him a peck. I assure you they will not be wasted. Landlord (rushing out) : A horse eat oysters with the shells on! (Franklin picks the best chair as the crowd retires, so as to be able to roast his oysters and warm himself, too.) Landlord (rushing in) : Your horse won ' t eat oysters, sir. Franklin: What, won ' t eat oysters? Why, the silly thing. He doesn ' t know what ' s good, but as those oysters are too good to be wasted, I will eat them. LESTER AIKEN, Grade 6. OUR BAZAAR In the fall the fourth grade wanted ta get some money and the eighth grade did also. So we got together and decided to have a bazaar. In all the spare time we had we made things for it. It took about a month to make the things for it. The girls made doll dresses, needle books, napkin holders and note books. And the boys made animals, aeroplanes, and doll chairs. As the day drew nearer we decorated the booths and they looked very pretty. At one booth we sold towels and iron holders, at another dolls, another candle holders and at another animals. A few children sold the things from the fourth and a few from the eighth. The money went to buy a stage for our Greek Plays for the fourth grade. The eighth grade are going to use their money to help furnish their room. The whole bazaar was a success FRANK COLE. KIRTLAND McCOMBS. ELIZABETH RUFENER. THE HERO Said Phil to Ed., We should win in the ice skating race. You get your ice skates and come over if you can. I will get mine and we will practice on the old pond back of our house. Bring Rover, too. Meet me at three o ' clock at the pond. The boys and Rover thought the pond was fine. At first they tried their best in skating alone but after awhile they decided to skate with arms hooked. It was getting toward night when they were skating too fast to stop and they skated into a hole. Phil called for Rover. Now Rover was true to his mas- ter. He tugged and pulled till he pulled him out by the collar and Phil helped his friend out. The boys did win the ice skating race. Rover was praised for sav- ing the winners of the ice skaters. Rover was bought a new collar. CLAYTON ALDEN, Grade 5. CHRISTMAS SEALS Last year we sold Christmas seals. The money went to help fight tubercu-) losis. The Sixth Grade sold over a thous- and. The Training School together sold eight thousand, seven hundred, thirteen. DORIS DIXON, Grade 6. OUR PLAY GROUND Our Play Ground is a pleasant place Where every child can play. You see us there at noon and night Of every single day. You see us on the Giant Stride A riding round and round. And when we don ' t hang on right good We fall plump to the ground. The Fireman ' s Ladder we do climb, We climb right to the top. And when we want to reach the ground We just slide down ker-slop. We just hop on the Ocean Wave And round and round we ride. It seems to us like a Merry-go-round So happily we glide. ELIZABETH RUFENER, Grade 4. THE PLAY WE ALL LOVED The fairy story, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, was the play given by the children of the Training School in December. The fairies, nymphs, dwarfs, brownies, witches, flowers, black cats, owls, the Frog, the Queen, the Fairy Queen, the Hunter and the Jealous Prin- cess were all there. CHESTNUT i BURB Miss Reed was a friend to all in the cast, and all in the cast were friends of Miss Reed, and worked hard to take the parts she helped them with. The people were very fond of the witch- es, for they made them feel that every- thing was true at one time. When the cats howled behind the scenes it sound- ed to the audience as If they were real cats. The fairies were mostly the kin- dergarten tots. They did very well for their age. The fairy queen did very well, although she had a lot to say. The jealous Princess did very well indeed. She acted as if she were naturally jeal- ous of everyone but herself. The hunter seemed to forget he was just a boy. And it seemed to him as if he were a man. Snow White was very good. All of the costumes were beautiful. The brownies and dwarfs danced their little dance very well. Really, all did well. HELEN CLUPP, Grade 4. AUTUMN ' S FEAST Autumn is giving a party today. What will we give her? What will we give her?

Purgatory — The self-same room, with lights a few. The self-same nook and Ma there, too. Anne N. — I believe in free speech, I do. Wilbur P. — You don ' t suppose anyone would pay to hear you, do you? Bill Hargett — There has been something trembling on my lips for months and months. She — Yes, so I see. Why don ' t you shave it off? M. H. — Dick doesn ' t do everything I tell; if he did, I would be wearing a diamond. Mary T. — You ' ve got that history on your brain. Isobel C. — It ' s better to have it on my brain now, than on my hands next year. We wonder why: Anna Skipp giggles so much. Lyda does not dye her hair. Lucile Shafer does not live in the dorm. Mary Love does not expand. Esther Manns does not break when she bends. Florence Critz always keeps so sweet. Chubby Dille does not finish growing his mustache. We cannot separate Anne and Wilbur. Alice Beane is so coquetish. Spinny ' ' smiles so sweetly of late. Mr. Chandler quotes Thorndike. Edna Lehet rolls he r eyes. Instructor: Ventilate that song, Student: What do you mean; something the matter? Instructor: The air is poor. Prof. (After explaining the various important features of chemistry) : So you see that we owe a great deal to chemistry. Anyone in the class can give another example of practical chemical importance? Student: According to the given explanations we are enormously indebted to chem- istry for the bountiful lot of our blondes. Prof (after explaining the principles of photography) : Consequently, the photo- graphic developments depends exclusively upon that little dark room. A Whisper: Say, Fred, if that ' s true, ask Mr. Rumold what is the difference between photographic developments and love-making. Proving that a sheet of writing paper is equal to a lazy dog: Proof: A sheet of writing paper=:an ink-lined plane. An Inclined plane=a slope up. A slow pup a lazy dog. Mr. Rumold: Whenever there is something you don ' t know jusi go back to these fundamentals. Mr. Cora: But, we are getting new fundamentals every day. Mr. Carnahan: Is there no difference between Icve and like in French? Mr. Boulet: Yes, But I thought you were big enough to know that. Mr. Cora: What do we call distraire in English?

Miss Hyde: With outside foot, grasp partner ' s hand shoulder high. Mr. Chandler, in speaking of children in the south who came to school, said: They have a cold all winter because they didn ' t dress properly. They didn ' t wear col- lars or collar buttons. They were listening to a concert, nearby was a popcorn vendor ' s stand. She: My! That popcorn smells good! He: Yes. I ' ll drive closer so you can smell it better. Conductor: Here, you ' re ringing the bell at both ends of the car. Brakeman: Sure, 1 want both ends to stop. He: I love the good, the true, the beautiful. She: This is so sudden, but I know father will consent. Dat ole man o ' yours is a pretty good provider. Yea, he ' d ruther I ' d use the skillet fer a utensil than a weapon. Can she talk, old man? Can she? Say, last summer, on the mountains, she didn ' t even let the echo have the last word. Mr. Carnahan: What are the chances of my recovering, doctor? Doctor Beckwith: One hundred percent.
