X PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 1923 KENT STATE NORMAL COLLEGE KENT, OHIO • ' 1 ' O commemorate our joys, • our friendships, and our successes; and also to assuage the pangs of parting, this memc rial volume is most respectfully laid upon the altar of our alma mater, by THE CHESTNUT BURR STAFF Page Tiuo JOHN EDWARD McGILVREY our President and our Friend. When the College was but a wooded ridge he was dream- ing dreams and fighting bat- tles for its existence. Today he is as active for a greater and still a greater College. In all of his deliberations we know our interests are being considered, and in every de- cision we know our welfare has been promoted. Page Three PRESIDENT .lolIX E.

Verder Tn a college of the nature of Kent State, the duty of the Dean of Women is to look after all those things in connection with a women student ' s life that are not cared for by the regular classroom instructor. These will include the living conditions, and the social relations, together with a keen interest in the development of the religious life of the women student. Working under the direction of the Dean of Women in Kent are the two house mothers of Moulton and Lowry Halls, the dietitian, and the resident nurse. Together these form the Dean ' s Council, which meets regularly to con- sider all the matters concerning the women residing in the halls. As there are about twice as many women students at Kent State living off campus as on, the Dean ' s major problem is to get into close touch with the women who hoard or live at home in Kent, or at home, in nearby towns. To accomplish this purpose, an Off Campus Women ' s Club has been formed, which has already done much. In November, the Dean of Women gave a tea to all the landladies of Kent who have college women living with them, that they might become better acquainted and might better understand their mutual relationships and responsibilities. During the winter term, the Dean of Women visited the houses in Kent, and made a list of approved rooming places for college women students. The organized social functions during the year have been many. These, in the main, have been the week end parties held in Moulton Hall. Various clubs and classes have financed the parties, which have been supervised by the Dean of Women and members of the faculty. Most of the gatherings have been all college women. The religious life on the campus centers in the Y. W. C. A. An increased interest in the organization is being manifested. The regular time of meeting has been changed from Sunday night to Wednesday evening. A religious census of the college women was made in the autumn term, and the local clergy were given lists of the names of the students who signified a church preference. During tin ' winter term a series of Sunday afternoon teas was given, to which both faculty and students were invited. At each tea, the Dean of Women in- vited as special guest some one of the clergy of Kent, who made a short address. Page Twelve AmirultiuT Lester S. Ivins The law of Ohio requires that Agriculture be taught in all the elementary and high schools of the state in school districts where the population is less than 5,000. In districts where the population is ahove 5,000, Agriculture is taught as an elective in the high school and as a required subject in the grades. In many of the grades where agriculture is elective in city districts the subject is taught under the name of Elementary Science. Elementary Agriculture. Gardening, General Science. Science, Nature Study or Economic Nature Study. The State Department of Education in Ohio has ruled that our course for elementary teachers called Agriculture II should contain lessons in Nature Study. When this nature work was added the elementary course, known as Agriculture II, was classed witli the Arts ' subjects by the State Department of Education. The addition of Nature Study work made it possible to give students, who expected to teach in villages and cities, the kind of work that these school districts required of their elementary teachers in Economic Nature Study. For the purpose of aiding the teacher of elementary Agriculture in bis work the State Department of Education has published a series of courses for the elementary schools of Ohio. All these courses are used in classes at Kent, where elementary professional work is taken. Students are furnished copies of these courses free by the State when they begin their work in the schools. Since so much emphasis is placed upon the uniform course in Ohio ' s schools, the college feels it proper to give this course due recognition at the institution. Boys ' and Girls ' Club work in Agriculture is now carried on as a national program. Ohio is one of the leading states in this work. It has had such a wide and satisfactory development iu Ohio that Governor Donahey, in his first message to the legislature, recommended that club work lie properly financed by the state. Kent State College has always recognized the work as a means of carrying out the project method of teaching in Agriculture and has, there- fore, given student ' s detail plans for aiding this state and national movement. Pagr Thirteen Art Xina S. Humphrey Rena. S. Pottorf Our Art Department this year has been a series of surprises to those who have watched its work. Throughout the entire .year new products have been turned out with just enough thorough rapidity to startle Ford into increased action. It seemed that every student in the school wanted to get into the construc- tion class. Miss Humphrey has shown patience and true director ' s ability in managing her construction class. A formation of new looms and finished product makes our weaving room like unto a combined Carolina Mountain ' •home-spun factory and a color-crying, rug-hung harem room in India. Every vacant period in the student weaver ' s life is filled with a wang of the shuttle or the twang of a broken warp thread. And our design class is not in the rear of the inarch. Parchment lamp shades, true to Mazda ; sanitas table covers ; Batik ' kerchiefs and ties are work- ing havoc on the blue eyes of those who are not designers. We see green eyes now, instead of the blue. Next year we fear that the Art Department will need a few assistants, plus an extra room or two, in order to artistically house the on-coming class of Juniors who have been acting as foliage in the background of the Art Scene this past year. Page Fourteen Ouratimt Paul G. Chandler The classes in education have appeared less bored this year than those formerly. The present students may wonder at the martyrdom which former classes have produced for the cause of the two-year certificate, while those ex- perimented on first can get some compensation from the feeling ' that their trials have to some degree alleviated the burden of those who have followed in their foot-steps. Still the mental impulses frequently wander from the topic in hand over the sensori-motor arc of pleasanter associations, but with more time and research we hope to find what the inviting fields are, whether they are thinking of next Friday evening at home or the last Moulton Hall function. and then we will, by the process of substitution, project the History of Edu- cation into those nerve circuits and finally usurp for it those interesting and romantic emotions. Page Fifteen iEttgltalj in Edgar Packard The English Department deals with LANGUAGE, than which there is no greater subject. Were we deprived of our language, our very thinking would cease; we could not retain our wisdom; and our whole civilization, like another Tower of Babel, would have to be abandoned. Verily, in more ways than one, In the beginning was the word. The English Department deals with the ENGLISH language, than which there is no greater. It is the language of the Magna Charta and of the Bill of Rights, of Shakespeare and of King James, of the Declaration of Inde- pendence and of the Constitution of the United States. It is the language of the steamboat, the railroad, the tramway, the electric light, the telephone, the telegraph, the cable, the typewriter, the cash register, the automobile, the sky- scraper, and on and on. It is the language of the sea, and first or second every- where on the land ; and it circulates more printed matter than all the other languages combined. The English Department makes a study of the classics, in which masters of language have quickened dead vocabularies into living stories, expressing the masterful motives of the race. Stories that tell not only what man has done, but. what he has tried to do ; yes. even the dreams of deeds no mortal dared to do. Finally, the English Department encourages its members to acquire skill adequate for present-day demands. First, the demand to be brief and to the point. Every day our language goes humming along the wires, clicking through the typewriters, crashing through the printing presses, and every act a costly one. Language must be reduced to its lowest terms; slang and oaths, hard words and foreign phrases, dialects and even polite expressions — all must go. And second, the demand to speak some message for human hearts; To sound some note from out God ' s highest heaven, To breathe some word to which sad hearts may cling. To weave some verse filled with divinest leaven. To build some song for angel choirs to sing. Page Sixteen iExtntBtmt Stephen A. Harbourt L. W. Miller The extension department of Kent State Normal College was organized very soon after the establishment 1 of the College. The regular instructors began teaching college subjects in the field before the buildings were completed on the campus. The value of this type of work can hardly be over-estimated. It has offered opportunity for many teachers in service to secure professional training. Ex- tension instructors cooperate with Superintendents of Schools in the intro- duction of standard tests, address community meetings in behalf of bond issues and otherwise promote the best interests of work in the communities where they are working. Prof. S. A. Harbourt and Prof. L. W. Miller are now acting as the regular extension instructors for the college. During the first term Prof. Harbourt conducted extension classes at Ashland. Mansfield, Akron, Kent, East Liver- pool, Toronto, Steubenville, and New Philadelphia. Prof. Miller had classes at Sandusky. Norwalk, Elyria, Lorain, West Park. Youngstown, and Warren. Prof. Packard held an extension class at Massillon and Prof. Stopher con- ducted a class at Canton and one at Lakewood during the first term. Students who desire information relative to extension work or work in ab- sentia should write to the college for the information desired. Page Seventeen Henri Boulet The aim of the course called Romance Languages ' ' is evidently and above all to comply with le programme of colleges, universities, and many special schools that demand the knowledge of French and sometimes of Spanish. Either you must know a foreign modern language or it is not indispensable; what difference does that make? Don ' t forget the Utile Dulci of the Latins and learn one; and if you have the choice, don ' t hesitate to take French. As it is the most spoken language in the world, after English, you need it to be con- sidered refined; you need it for business, you need it for traveling, or just for the pleasu re of being able to read, understand, and speak this harmonious language. Apprenez le francais, ma ehere, ' est si fixcile. Three steps only : 1st. The teacher gives you a general little knowledge that enables you to bluff those of your friends who do not know a single word of French. How easy ! 2nd. The teacher makes you believe that you really do know something. You are so pleased and proud that he has no trouble at all in convincing you. 3rd. Being able to bluff the non-initiated ones, being able to bluff yourself, we come to the third and last stage. You just have to learn a little more and show every one, even native French people, that you do master the language you were only pretending to know. This is indeed a little more difficult: but with the well known intelligence of the Kent Staters! Courage! Allez-v ! Page Eighteen (Snnirapltij David Olso,, Until a knowledge of science has given him vision, man walks with unseeing eyes among marvels beside which fairy tales are tame. He is unaware that all about him, — in the earth under his feet, in the sky above him — there are vast forces, working with him in friendly accord, or pitting themselves grimly against him. He does not know that the form of his body and the fashion of his mind have their far beginnings in times so remote that in comparison man ' s most ancient records were written but a moment ago. He cannot fully realize the brotherhood of man, the universal likeness that underlies the transient im- press of environment. The task of the geography teacher is to give this broader vision. Geography is not primarily a study of facts; it is a study of principles around which facts may be interpreted. When man once sees himself in his relation to his physical surroundings, when he recognizes to what extent his beliefs and his emotions are the product of the stage upon which he acts his part, when he learns that other nations and other races differ from him only because the external setting of their lives is differently arranged, — when he recognizes all mankind as his kindred, children of the same great mother, he will lay aside his foolish pre- judices and his causeless hatreds. Geography, rightly understood, is one of the mightiest of the forces toward peace on earth, good will toward men. Page Nineteen History nnh Mortal rirnrr . D. Byrne Eleanor Ann Meyer This Department, in common with the various others of Kent State has. since the establishment of the school, experienced a gradual growth in student enrollment and in the number and variety of courses offered. During the past year the Department has undergone reorganization and as at present constituted it comprises the work offered by the college in the re- lated fields of History, Government, Economics, and Sociology. A student can now secure four full years work in the first subject and the present plan is to offer at least a year ' s work in each of the other fields. This will be still further increased as rapidly as the growth in numbers and facilities justify. At pres- ent the Department is offering a total of twenty-seven courses, five of these — History 20A, History 20B, History 29A, Sociology 21, and Sociology 22— having been added during the current year. Tlie courses in Sociology which are being cataloged will run in sequence through the academic year and will be styled Principles of Sociology, Social Progress, and Social Programs, respectively. These courses are planned to meet the general cultural interests of students but particularly with reference to the needs of prospective teachers of sociology in the Junior and Senior High Schools of the State, in which the subject is assuming a growing importance. As a part of the program of special extension work which was initiated by the College last September in order to meet the demands of deserving non- resident students, this Department has been offering the following courses in absentia: Government 21, Sociology 21, History 20, and History 11. It is probable that a few additional courses will lie offered in absentia during the ensuing year. The increasing number of high school students taking work in the field of History and Social Science is highly gratifying. It is the hope of the Depart- ment to be able in due time to enroll its fair portion of the students of North- eastern Ohio who are interested in these fields of work and to give them as at- tractive an offering as any other institution of similar character in the state. Page Twenty J Ham? Ernnomtrs Bertha Louise Nixson Ruth West Do you know that ninety per cent of all girls sooner or later become home makers ' ? Perhaps you do not realize that the work offered in Home Economics serves a double purpose. It trains for the teaching of Foods and Clothing in the schools, and at the same time trains for the life work of home making. We hear much in these days of Home Atmosphere . Who can better create this desired atmosphere than the girl who has studied carefully home planning, the suitability of home furnishings, and the systematic management of the home? This knowledge will aid us in the furnishing and arrangement of one room if we happen to belong to the ten per cent. Certainly we need to know the AVhat-IIow-and- Yhere of clothing. It is said that ninety-nine women out of hundred lack simplicity in dress. Being well dressed often means the knowing of what to leave off. The third phase of our work, Foods and Nutrition, is quite essential for the maintenance of health. The ability to select wisely one ' s food is just as vital to the one who eats out, as to the one who is fortunate enough to live at home. Home Economics is the economical use of material, time and talent. Page Twenty-one Hanual ©raining Clinton S. Van I m George A. Dumann Manual training, to many people, belongs somewhere in the hazy fringe of the field of education. Even some superintendents have a very vague idea of what manual training really is. This is not to he wondered at when we realize that few superintendents have had any real contact with it. Could you expect a person who had never used figures in any way to appreciate mathe- matics? Even if he had heard lectures about mathematics but had not used figures he could not appreciate the value of the subject and its place in educa- tion. So it is with manual training. Few superintendents have more than a lecture knowledge of manual training. One must experience manual training to appreciate it and to realize its proper place in the field of education. Manual training is hand work (not woodwork only; so carried on as to co-operate with the other subjects in the curriculum in the mental development of the child. Stop and consider what part of an adult ' s time is devoted to doing and you will realize why manual training should have fully as large a place in education as mathematics or any other subject. To instill in Kent Staters — the future superintendents and principals of North-Eastern Ohio — a true appreciation of manual training and its place in education is the main aim of this department. No student should leave our college without taking at least one course in this department. The courses offered include work in paper, strawboard. wood, metal, cem- ent, and leather and also mechanical drawing and printing. Persons working for the degree of B. S. in Education may major or minor in manual training. Page Twenty-two iHatljrmattra Raymond E. Manchester In these modern days when the musician speaks of a Tone Poem; when the artist talks about the Pi cture Essay; when the poet writes prose without rhyme, reason, or rhythm; when the prose is both rhymed and timed, when he who would orate stands before his audience and reads from a manuscript; when he who would read stands befort his audience and orates; and when students major in aesthetic dancing it is with some courage that we admit a connection with the Department of Mathematics. We derive some satisfaction from the fact that men studied mathematics before the pyramids were built and the fact that, even in this jazzy present, people keep arithmetics and geo- metries tucked away in safe places and even sneak up the back attic stairways now and then to study when they discover that it requires more than a fine appreciation of a Tone Poem or a book of Free Verse to pay the rent. Perhaps we derive even more satisfaction in cherishing the belief that in mathematics we study quite a large part of that universal truth which holds the world together. In any event we meet in large sections in Room 36 to dis- cuss the best way to teach Willie how to add without biting his tongue off and we meet in small sections in Room 35 to talk ways and means of regulating the sun, moon, and stars. Now and then some misguided student leaves us to fritter away his time in some trivial project but in the main we are a contented and unified family pledged to the pursuit of truth, and happy in our knowl- edge that sooner or later the world will come to our door to find out whether the grocer lost $20.00 or $40.00 when a customer presented a counterfeit bill. We are proud of our mathematics laboratory, proud of our equipment for studying surveying and topography, proud of our growing pile of original papers in the library, proud of the success of our graduates and proud of our- selves because we are so proud. Page Twenty-three MuBVC A ii 111 Maud Shamel Ora Belle Bachman The Music Department has two functions. It offers instruction and enter- tainment. The most important work in our school is the preparation of the future teacher to know enough of music and how to teach it so that she may intelligently help the supervisor of music in her work. The special courses are planned to give more advanced work to lay a foundation for special work in music supervision. The elementary school is used to demonstrate how music is taught and for practice teaching for those who plan to do music supervising. This part of the work is under the direction of Miss Bachman and it is divided into three divi- sions, the elementary, the Junior High, and the Senior High. In the Junior High both girls and boys have separate choruses. The Senior High has a girl ' s glee club and a mixed chorus. Students of both Junior and Senior High are in the College Orchestra. For entertainment special programs were presented at the assembly ex- ercises by the Junior Chorus, the Orchestra, the Choir, and children of the elementary school. The student entertainment course for this year offered Maurice Dumesnil, French pianist, and C. X. Granville, baritone. During each week of the winter term a brief story of the life of an Amer- ican composer and his compositions were presented by the students at assem- bly. In the spring a series of musical events was presented. The Junior Chorus gave an evening of songs. The High School Girl ' s Glee Club presented an opera Yanki San ' ' by Harding. The children of the elementary school pre- sented an operetta, The Stolen Flower Queen by Grant Schaeffer. The girls of the special music class gave a musical part of the Baccalaureate service. The College Girl ' s Glee Club sang part songs on the graduation program. It has been the custom for several years for former graduates to return at commencement to assist on the graduation program. This custom has been much appreciated and will be continued. It is hoped that a four year course in music may be offered next year. Paw Tiuenty-four piymral Ottraitnn Marie E. Hyde The enrollment in the Physical Education Department at the opening of the fall term greatly exceeded any previous record. Due to the lack of suffi- cient gymnasium space and heavy programs, the girls who had received credit in physical education during the summer sessiuis were excused from gym- nastics. Heretofore, every girl in school has been compelled to take gym twice a week, and in spite of the fact that many were excused several hundred marked time regularly. This is the first term that any credit has been given for physical training and the girls, no doubt, felt that they earned it by the time their gymnastic note-books were completed. During the winter term there were no gymnastic classes but many of the girls were out for basketball. A tournament was held in March with the fol- lowing teams competing : Off-Campus, College, Juniors, and Seniors. The girls on the champion team were awarded the official K and the members of the other teams were given class numerals. We were very fortunate indeed in being able to have Dr. Krape, a local physician, give a thorough examination of heart, lungs, and throat of all girls in school. This examination proved most helpful and though various defects were revealed, there were no particularly alarming cases. The children of the training school were given an examination by Miss Smith and Miss Hyde and it was most gratifying to find that in general the health of the children was much improved. We found many abnormalities, on record for the previous year, corrected. We won ' t mention the difficulties under which we must work now. Rather let us look ahead and see what the possibilities will be when that new gym- nasium building is a reality. Let us hope that Kent State may have a School of Physical Education where both men and women may specialize in the work. Page Twenty-five •Press THE KENT COLLEGE PRESS The Kent College Press, organized last fall under the direction of Mr. Manchester, opens up a new field of endeavor in this college. Not only is it a means for student literary productions but it is a news agency as well. The College Press is now a little germ. In five years it will be a country news- paper, in ten years it will be a small town tri-weekly, and iu fifteen years it will be a Big City Daily. Some folks pay little attention to little germs and as a result they purchase closed cars for little doctors. A little germ has a big punch. Keep your eye on this little germ. It is a germ with a future. In it is a development arranged in geometrical progression. THE KENTONIAN The Kentonian had its beginning under the auspices of the Senior Degree Class. This year it has been revived after having lapsed its publication for several years. In its present form it helps to promote the interests of our col- lege, to see and appreciate the fine things of our school, to develop our poetical and literary spirits, and to get us all thinking and pushing the policies that will make Kent State known the State over. THE CHESTNUT BURR The Chestnut Burr, an annual undertaking, is the book of cherished mem- ories. Its mission is to eternize friendships and to ordain a lasting reverence for alma mater. Page Tiuenty-six Stnlnnu Ethel Gowans What would this world be if it did not throb with life! Life is the thing that is vital The science of Biology gives to us a knowledge of this life, of the flowers and trees, and of the creatures of the earth. With the great biologists. we are learning the fundamental principles of living matter. To us a frog be- comes similar to a leaf. We are looking through the microscope, beholding a world as wonderful as the one in which we live. There is something fascinating about watching the little amoeba at its work and knowing that all life works on the same prin- ciple. The little bacteria and yeast plants certainly prove the theory that there is strength in numbers. Through all the various stages of animal life, we come to a study of the human body. Health is the first requisite to success and happiness. In order to keep well we must know about the human mechanism and the laws of hygiene. Students of Kent State will not soon forget the work of the nucleus and the value of exercises and correct posture. We have an opportunity in biological science to teach the little ones of the nation about the living things of the earth so that they may help to make it a better place in which to live. People will then see the vegetable kingdom clothed with a new glory and the animal kingdom as the greatest handiwork of nature. Vi ( T ' jienty-seven OIIjrmtHtnj mb pjgBtrs C. F. Bumold The Department of Chemistry and Physics at Kent State Normal College stands for acquisition. The content and requirement for credit in all the courses are such that those who complete them stand on an equality with the men and women who have completed courses in the best colleges and univer- sities. The courses are organized and taught in such a way that the student who expects to teach shall acquire not only a store of knowledge and a method of presentation for the teaching of these sciences, but also a fund of enlighten- ing information by which to correlate his own observations and so amplify and enrich his teaching of other subjects. Students preparing to enter the medical profession and other scientific pursuits will find the courses exactly suited to their needs. The Laboratory facilities are unexcelled and much emphasis is placed upon Laboratory work. It is possible to do four years of work in Col- lege courses in Chemistry and one year in College Physics. Special methods courses for teachers of Science are always open during the Summer Quarter. These courses are sufficiently elementary so that they can be directly transferred to use in the High Schools. They give drill in in- genuity of devising apparatus and indicate the scope of the work to be done. The Department sends greetings and good wishes to the many students who have gone out from its class rooms. There is always a warm welcome for all students who believe in work and in the power of mastered skill and knowl- edge. Page Ticcniy-ciqht QmttyrB atrauttttjg EMMET C. ST(  PHEE EDITH OLSON CHARLES F. KOEHLER MAY H. PRENTICE The Training School of the Kent Normal College is organized as a typical public school system. The Superintendent of the Training School has general supervision over the four divisions of the Training School — namely, the Senior High School, the Junior High School, the Elementary School and the Kinder- garten. Each of the first three divisions has a Principal who spends as much time supervising the work in his department as his other duties permit. The head of the Kindergarten Primary Department supervises the work of the Kindergarten. The Principal of the Elementary School has no regular teaching assign- ment in the Training School and spends considerable time in supervision of the Page Twenty-nine FRANK X.

A very large part of her time is spent in connection with her duties as ' ' Director of Practice Teaching in the Elementary School. The Director of Elementary Practice and the Superin- tendent of the Training School teach in the educational department of the college during the year and thus help to promote a working relationship be- tween the theory and practice of teaching. Several of the training school su- pervisors have taught classes in the college during the second half of the sum- mer quarter when the training school has not been in session. This has helped to promote co-operation on the part of the training school and such depart- ments as Education, English, History. Geography and Mathematics. At times. various heads of departments have for a short period of time taken direct charge of training school classes. This offers a rather unique opportunity for the college instructor to keep in direct touch with actual school room conditions. Theoretically, the head of the college department acts in an advisory capa- city with reference to the work in his subject in the training school. At the present time an instructor in the college department either teaches or super- vises the special subjects such as Home Economics. Manual Training. Music Page Thirty ELSIE MABEE ADA HYATT IDA. C. JACOBSON CLARA D. HITCHCOCK MAUCAKKT JEFFREY. HERTA HEBERLEIX and Art. Responsibility for supervising the rest of the work rests with those directly connected with the training school organization. However, all college instructors are urged to visit the training school and make such comment or suggestions as they wish to make. The training school is used very largely for observation purposes — that is, classes in the college come to the training school to see demonstrated different methods which have been presented to them. Largely for the sake of the children in the training school, students are not permitted to do practice teaching until the last year of their course. This means that students taking the elementary normal course teach during their second year while those working for the degree usually do not teach until their fourth year. Students are not permitted to teach in the high school earlier than the fourth year unless they are recommended for the work by the head of the college department, in the subject in which the teaching is to be done. The Training School may properly be called the center of the college work in the sense that the student is encouraged to look forward to teaching as proof of the adequancy of his training. Work in this department is also the best indication of a student ' s ability to render efficient service in the schools of Ohio. Page Thirty-one IGtbranj mai; ;ai;i:t dinear 1SABELLE DFXBAR As friends and companions, as teachers and consolers, as recreators and amusers, books are always with us, and always ready to respond to our wants. We can take them with us in our wanderings, or gather them around us at our firesides. In the lonely wilderness, and the crowded city, their spirit will be with us, giving a meaning to the seemingly confused movements of humanity, and peopling the desert with their owu bright creations. — Langford — Praise of Books. One of the most lasting friendships that we cultivate in our college life is the one that we make with our library at Kent State. It is a refuge for all book lovers. It is a quiet and orderly workroom for all students. It is a place where service is always prompt and pleasant. Our librarians are constantly giving of themselves for the enjoyment and benefit of our students. It is the many little services which make our library so delightful to us all. During the Children ' s Book Week they gave us a most charming display of children ' s books. Every holiday we find a truck which has volumes of books and articles appropriate for the occasion. Misses Margaret and Isabel Dunbar have been the moving spirit, guiding and directing the policies of the library for the best interests of our alma mater. Few of us know the tremendous service they have rendered to the schools outside of our own and the help they have given to various clubs in our district. Page Thirty-two Sormttories Isabelh C.

We truly lived there, and Mrs. Bourne was looked up to as our Mother. Under her kind and helpful guidance, we lived in the right way. When we unfortunately became ill. Miss Smith was always near to comfort us back to health. Every nook in Moulton means a story to us. Every room means a friend and every brick represents an experience. There vve cultivated life-long friends, and there we learned there ' s a little bit of good in the worst of us . Lowry Hall to the Moulton girls meant a place where they tread three times a day to eat. Then our song of grace comes back and Miss Penoyer ' s thoughtful face. To the girls who lived in Lowry. their hall meant much the same as Moulton did to its inmates. In Lowry, however, the small number made it possible for intimate relationships among all the girls. Here Miss West officiated as Head Resident and willingly took part in all of Lowry ' s social affairs. Page Thirty-three Page Thirty-jour Page Thirty-five MILDRED CHRISTINE COOK Kent.

When it comes to mathematical ability and performances we can furnish you the best in the school. For editorial ability and business management we have proved our worth. When it comes to staging an impromptu play or act in the auditorium we have shown our resourcefulness. We are proud of the record that we are leaving behind us, and trust that it will serve as an impetus to the classes that will follow. For four years we have labored at this and that and now we receive our degrees, some of us in spite of ourselves. Gladly have we learned and now eladlv will we teach.

Graduates of the Class of ' 23 of Kent State! Our class proudly boasts of that distinction, and stands ready to combat any con- demnation against our alma mater. Two years ago we entered and brought with us certain principles, certain ideas, and certain standards. It is hardly necessary to suggest that these qua- lities differed in every individual, some high, some low, others in a mediocre col- umn. Still with all these different views on life, our class had one thing in com- mon — the aim to teach the rising generation some day in the future. We at- tended Kent State to find out and understand the philosophy of others and to profit by their errors. We watched the class of ' 24 as they solemnly received a scroll from President McGilvrey, and wondered; to us it seemed a time for rejoicing. Now the class of ' 23 is leaving Kent State, but a casual glance will he sufficient to show that the intrinsic value of every member is no longer the same. Kent State has justified itself. Our ideas have become broader, our information more extensive, our standards more fixed and our ideals higher. Give and take has been our motto. Unconsciously we have given our best and made every effort to take the most. Our class may be truly called a cosmopolitan conglomeration, for we have classmates from many lands. They have helped vastly to make our visions more comprehensive. It was they who supplied the Kentonian with interesting and often unique autobiographies. The class of ' 23 will ever laud the praises of K. S. X. C. We shall always strive to commemorate her name and spirit. Our Alma Mater will never cease to be an inspiration. Zealously, we shall up- hold the scarlet carnation, and make its flaming color seen, from coast to coast, and gulf to sound. Page Fifty-five atrnna nf % ' 23 GUfratmtt lurr Most staffs have selected as their patrons the new-born babe in the college, the professor most renowned, the student deserving highest honors, the glorious past of accomplished wonders, the bright future of hidden prospects after ful- filled promises, the milestones built by the expected yet unbelievable achieve- ments of the Alumni, some unusual feature of the year ' s life, some one whose enthusiastic help has made this book possible, or even at time to the staff itself. Very appropri- ately, this volume of the Chestnut Burr might have requested the spir- itual guidance of any of these. In order to present evidence in sup- port of the above assertion we offer the following : W hat m o r e charming than to • Bobbie ' ' Byrne ! To whom more deserving than to L. S. Ivins and Miss Prentice ! How more selec- tive than to Hazel Hewitt ! Dark i — Never — Our Gold Stars — Summer Enrollment- Dim ? No. — Gymnasium — A.B. — MeGilvrey. When more suitable than to Robinson, Fletcher. Crow, and Thomas. Is it not feasible to the Silver Foxes, the Cannon, the White Horse, and Timothy Moulton. Where more permanent than to R. B. Manchester. What more conventional than to the staff itself. This voice of the ' 23 Year Book hears a different echo than any of the above. It discovers it has spoken a unique theme in an appeal tuned to its dynamic spirit. The Chestnut Burr takes this opportunity to announce that it has selected Mr. Strayer and Mr. Englehart to act as the Patrons of this Edition. As individuals, the motivated Burr is entirely ignorant of the ability of these gentlemen. But as beacon lights in the field of education, the staff feels that they very truly symbolize that for which our institution was founded and hence are most certainly entitled to serve as Patrons of Our Year Book. How many times has Strayer ' s The Teaching Process been memorized? How many outlines have the writings of Englehart provoked? The works of these men most assuredly play a prominent and permanent part in the college life of a Kent State Student. Their patronage should make Kent State proud of all she has done and guide her on to better things. After a study of the life and works of men such as Strayer and Englehart, it is little wonder that the graduates of Kent State enter their chosen field of endeavor with the spirit of Van Dyke. -One of First Eight. This is my work, my blessing, not my doom. Of all who live I am the one by whom This work can best be done in the right way. Then shall I see it, not too great or small, To suit my spirit and to prove my power. Then shall 1 cheerful greet the laboring hours,. And cheerful turn when the long shadows fall. From eventide to play and love and rest Because I know, for me, my work is best.

Pie dreamed a most peculiar and yet delightful dream. It was after com- mencement and all the troublesome Seniors had departed. The whole school was made up of one big class of Juniors, there being no Seniors, Sophomores, or Freshmen. The school got out of its old rut of school spirit, everything livened up ; every night of the week there was staged either a dance, vaudeville, or banquet. In two years the school became so widely known for its pep that they had to commence building extra buildings to accommodate the students and in five years they had built entirely around the campus. At this juncture Mr, Van Horn awuke, but how true was his dream! Did you ever stop to think how many Juniors are in the different school activities, and the things they promote each year? Compare the entertain- ments given by the other various organizations of the school with those given under the supervision of the Juniors. However, throughout the year the Junior class has been fully alive in- tellectually as well as socially. Juniors have found their places in the re- sponsible offices of the school and have acquitted themselves admirably. As the Juniors become the Seniors of next year there remains a spirit of good fellowship toward all members of the school and a memory of a year of good times and duties well done.

Where did the social leaders come from ? The answer to these questions is easy — THE COL- LEGE SECTION. Since we are here for four years we have a better opportunity to become imbued with the real college spirit. Our ambition is to make every student at Kent State a member of the four year course, a booster of Kent State, and disciple of the Kent State spirit. We hope to incarnate in every student a supreme love for his alma mater, and the desire to give her the best he has in the effort to increase her greatness. We hope to make our motto for the guidance of the future years : Tho ' much is taken, much abides and tho ' We are not now; that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven ; that which we are, we are, One equal temper of heoric hearts. Make weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield. Page Seventy-i wo ®ljF Alumni A builder went forth to build. The foregoing statement might be applicable to thousands of situations. Whether the proposed building be a skyscraper in one of our large cities, or a miserable hut along the Amazon or in darkest Africa, one element is always necessary — material. The fundamental difference existing between the skyscraper of New York City and the hut on the Amazon are few. There is a difference in plans, size, materials and construction. An architect may draw plans for something very simple or for something very elaborate; it may be large or small. Be it as it may, the effectiveness of the structure depends largely on the material and how this material is arranged. A monument pointing out and directing the lives of untold millions is in process of construction. The material is being turned out of the great factory on the hill at Kent. The material is the Alumni Body of the Kent State Normal College. How gigantic, beautiful, and inspiring this monument really becomes, depends entirely upon the material and its position in the structure. If im- proper material is turned out, or good material is not used in the logical pla ce, the value of the monument to the world will be sacrificed to that extent. Already the monument has commenced to attract attention almost world wide and to cast an influence over the lives of many boys and girls. This early attention is not due to the magnetic qualities of the monument so much as to the efficiency of the factory and to the officers and workmen in charge thereof. The monument itself, however, should begin to wield a powerful influence over all that comes within view of it. It is, therefore, necessary to keep each of these blocks polished and in good repair at all times. Another section of this monument is to be completed in June, while other additions will be made in July and August. We, the members of the Alumni, who constit ;te the foundation of this wonderful monument, extend a most hearty welcome to all who later become a part of and magnify the value of our structure. We trust that all new-comers will lie better than any who have preceded them, and that each will find himself located in that place for which he was intended, so that harmony, beauty and inspirations of the structure may always be at its best. Page Seventy-three ®lje BtnU Human ' s ICeartup When a woman enters Kent State College, she becomes, automatically, a member of the Woman ' s League. The League does some things for which it will be remembered, such as planting trees on the campus. Possibly, some will remember the first day they came to Kent and remember the guides who met them. Others may have a tender place in their hearts for a big sister who helped them get acquainted. These are some of the things of which the League takes charge. Oh, yes, they did put on assembly programs and a show and some parties, too. The executive board, which worries about the business affairs, is composed of: Lucille Sharp, President; Marie Young, Vice-President; Aim Lewis. Sec- retary; Eloise Chamberlain, Treasurer; and representatives of different organi- zations in the college who are as follows : Edna Johnson, Elizabeth Jones, Audrey Warren, Kathryn Chapman, Alice Beane, Mildred Snyder, Mary Bissell, Marie Kulow, Florence Critz, Crilla Belle Thomas, Doris Halliwell. and Eliza- beth Corbett.

W. C. A. On that day. a large group of girls, carrying lunch boxes, hiked to Twin Lakes. We ate our lunch picnic fashion under a tree, munching apples, plentifully furnished by a nearby orchard. For our dessert, we held the first business meeting of the year. Miss Lota Evans, president, presided. A happy surprise followed the business meeting. We went boat riding. An improvement over previous meetings was made by changing the meeting night from Sunday to Wednesday night. The mid-week services are looked forward to with interest. The meetings this year have been unusually good, and also well attended. Some of our speakers have been Mr. Rumohl. Mr. Packard, and Dean Verder. as well as a number of the students and our V. W. advisor. Miss Bess Rider. Our President, Miss Lota Evans, and our Vice-President, Evelyn Tompkins, left school at the close of the first term. Miss Margaret Stewart and Miss Thelma Hyland were then elected to these offices. At the Penn State game, the Y. W. girls served sandwiches to the hungry spectators. Associated in our minds we hear, Rah. Rah, Kent! Hot Dogs, right this way ! Touchdown! Rah! The V. W. ( ' . A. girls and a few of the boys from the Men ' s club assisted Mr. Eversoll in raising the money for the Student Friendship Fund, which amounted to more than .+266. The Y. W. C. A. Bazaar was a great success and the Colonial Party, usually held the first Saturday after Washington ' s birthday, was held April seventh, on account of an unexpected vacation.

It is one of several organizations sponsored by Mr. Manchester, who. throughout the past two years lias been the faculty adviser. To him, the Club pays tribute for its beginning. The meetings throughout the year were characterized by enthusiasm, good will, and good natured rivalry. Formal debates were always the order of the day, but the monotony was relieved by parliamentary drill and impromptu speaking and debating. Late in the season, an attempt was made to schedule a debate with Akron University, but we were not able to complete our negotiations. Both teams. however, look forward to the time when they shall meet next year. Through the interest and ability shown this year, the Club hopes to be made a part of the English Department with a coach to help us put Kent State on the map. Page Seventy-nine (% (BnlUg 01i|ofr The College Choir at Kent State was organized early in the fall term. It is the only vocal musical organization in the College. It is composed of some twenty or twenty-five students, mostly from the College and Senior sections. The Choir has already given a short program at one of the chapel periods, and will probably present another in the near future. The members have practiced faithfully every Thursday evening after school, and will feel well repaid for the time and effort it has cost them, when they look back on the pleasant hours spent together in 13-S and think of the joy and inspiration they have derived from the singing of the finer grade of music which we have been using. Hiss Shamel deserves a very great amount of praise for the way in which she lias built up the organization and guided it so efficiently. The students who have been in the organization have manifested great interest in the work, and only wish that there were many more to join them. Those who have attended rehearsals most regularly are: Lucile Sharpe Anne Saddler Miss Hess Eleanor Ford Miss Beane W. G. Hopper J. H. Brown Grace Trover Miss Pitkin Esther Fudge Miss Boomer Florence Critz Carlan Elliott Edith Esehliman Elizabeth Jones Clarissa Flowers Lucile Esehliman Albert Tischendorf Wayne Heaston Edgar Slough Page Eighty dlmttnr GUjDrus One of the strong organizations of the past year lias been the Junior Chorus which includes anyone who is taking the Music II course. The four divisions of the Music II group arc here united and the various members raise their voices in song. During the fall term, the Chorus met on Mondays and Wednesdays at eleven o ' clock, hut during the winter the hour was given to another class. Now, in the spring term, the group is again in action, and shows great promise. During the fall term, the Chorus gave several numbers at Assembly, some of them being On, On, On Thou Soul. a group of negro spirituals and a group of Italian folk songs. For the spring term, Miss Shamel, the director, is planning an evening musieale to include chorus singing by the one hundred and eighty voices, solos and numbers by a very fine harpist. It is hoped that the evening will be a great success, and will put a feather in the cap of the Junior Chorus. (Ihr (Unllnjr GDrrljeatra Organized in the fall term, our orchestra has proven a source of interest to its members ami of pleasure to the whole College. The orchestra is com- posed of members of the student body, aided by members of the High School who have, with a great deal of faithful practice, succeeded in producing a really worth while musical organization. With violins, piano, saxophone, cornet and traps, the orchestra is ready with jazz for the college dances or when called upon to render classical music for chapel. Under Miss Shamel ' s direction, the orchestra has grown to he a real college organization which is appreciated by faculty and students alike, and we think all the members deserve a great deal of credit for their good work.

We tore our school for what it is, and what it is to be. Now is the time for every Kent Stater to stop and reflect a moment. Short time ago, where now stands these stately buildings, there was but a wooded ridge. It has only been a few years since the demand for a State School in Northeastern Ohio received any attention. Men of ideals and action brought that State School to Kent. It rests with the student body to sustain the judg- men of these men. Ours is a new school. Situated in a locality that has always educated through the private college, Kent State has had to face opposition. Thus far we have met this opposition squarely and the record of our ' enrollment is the result. We are proud of the splendid growth of our college; but growth in numbers is not everything; there must be a corresponding growth in ideals and school spirit. We as students of today are laying the foundation for the future Kent State. The seeds that we plant today are bound to grow. It is our duty to carefully investigate the kind of seeds we are planting. The glory of Kent State in 1953 is directly dependent upon the glory of Kent State in 1923. Ours is the sacred task of BUILDING TPtADITION ! Let us face it with a resolute heart. — (Editorial from Kent College Press, February 10th, ' 23) Page Eighty-three Mortal rtPttr? Club The Social Science Club, which was organized during the winter quarter. started out with a charter membership of sixteen. Its personnel is drawn largely from the Department of History and Social Science, although the membership is not narrowly restricted, the club being only quasi-departmental in character. It is organized 1 ' or the benefit of all students of the college who have a serious interest in the vital social problems of the day. In addition to stimulating interest in the important contemporary problems the Club purposes to give valuable social training through active participation in the work of the organ- ization. As the Club grows, it is planned to bring before it outside talent from time to time to discuss current topics of especial interest. The meetings held this year have been attended by an interested group who have enjoyed the very successful programs rendered. OFFICERS Will G. Hopper President John .J.

The primary purpose of the Society is to supplement The Blue and Gold Debating Club, and to keep posted on the details of all events of importance. The organization is founded purely as a means of transmitting information, and it .shall be the permanent policy of the Club, to prohibit the discussion of any religious or political subject in a partisan manner. The following men attended the opening meeting and hence became charter members of the Club: Frank Moore, Frank L. Hogue, J. H. ( ' row. Oscar Le Beau, Paul Packard, Elbert Tischendorf, David Beckwith, and Burgett Everett Yeo. The membership is restricted to the men of the college who can show evi- dence that they are actually interested in such an undertaking.

In her appeal, she asked the students to venture into fairyland on her magic carpet and as they went along to collect the different things that appealed to them, and find others of the same tastes and join together to form little clubs on different phases of literature. Wish and it ' s yours: let ' s make use of our magic carpets, was her closing plea. To fulfill the demands of the student body, the Lit Club divided itself into three sections: Drama, Fiction and Poetry. This arrangement has proven particularly valuable at Kent State, as it possesses the most advantageous fea- tures of both large and small clubs. Intensive group work was carried on in all of these branches and monthly united meetings were held. At these joint meetings, one section entertained with the results of that month ' s study. The Lit Club is a successful innovation at Kent State, and it is putting literature in a position to race for first place. The Dramatic Section, in a general way, has been the most active of the three sections. It entertained the student body with several smart dramas. Page Eighty-six The play presented by this organization for the Skirt Show was the outstanding feature of the program. Once more, the fact that interest plus a little practice accomplishes a great deal was demonstrated. The Fiction Section devotes itself to the fiction of the very best American authors. When this supply is exhausted, selections will he studied from recognized writers of foreign countries. Though but six months old, and com- paritively small for its age, it has occupied a distinct place in the extra- cur- riculum work. Who will ever forget the Thursday Special? Since it was none other than the Fiction Club that made it possible for others to hear Professor Packard ' s Joa7i d ' Arc. After that entertainment, every one agreed that the F. 0. did start something. A committee is preparing a book list for the members of the Club which undoubtedly will prove a valuable aid in the choice of future reading. It is the sincere wish of this club that it shall ever continue to be one of the best clubs in K. S. X. C. The purpose of the Modern Poetry Section is for each of the members to read modern poetry both for study and enjoyment. Each member brings to the meeting the poems he has read during the week that he especially wished the other members to know. These poems are read, discussed and collected in a note book. Thus the collection is not only that of individual contribution, but a composite gathering of the entire group. The members are very proud of their note books, and are sure that they hold some rare gems that will be useful in the future. GENERAL OFFICERS President Jean Hartenstein Vice-President Willard C.

Unbaov (§utn GUitb The Indoor Outer Club started on its first outdoor hike on Monday evening. Mr. R. E. Manchester led the crowd of about forty boys and girls. About two inches of snow was on the ground and every one was dressed for the weather. The crowd traveled through the woods, up hill and down dale, and through briar patches and swamps. Many signs of small animals were noticed by different members of the crowd and one rabbit was chased out to arouse the interest of the crowd to a height. The crowd returned with heavy feet but lighter bodies and all are eagerly looking forward to the next hike. ' — Kent College Press. The above clipping describes only one of a series of spontaneous hikes that were directed by the Indoor Cuter Club. Spontaneous — because the time, place and number of the Outers were usually determined by the immediate wishes of the assembled crowd. The Club was proposed by Dean Yerder ' s Reading 20 class on Club Day. The name, with the permission of Mr. Manchester, was taken from the title of one of his hooks, and this book became the constitution and guide of the Club. Mr. Manchester, the most enthusiastic of all Kent Staters, explained the plan of the Club in an amusing speech in chapel. This speech launched the Club so tar out into the deep, that it had no alternative — it must sail on. Miss Oowans and Mr. Manchester were chosen as sponsors of the Clubi Neglecting slightly the preface to its name, the Outers have been most active. Their usual plan of action was : Monday — drop two bits into the box. Wednesday — hike to a nearby lake, then eat, play timers for awhile, and hike-it home. In this Club. Mr. Manchester has been the nucleus around which have clustered the most ambitious of the college students. (As we started so shall we end ). Left — Left — Left — The girls are hiking. Look out. squirrels, they will come. This was the spirit in which the co-eds of Kent State College started out on their hike. Part of the group made a snappy tramp to Lake Brady enjoying the beauty of the Lake and its surroundings, and then appeased their appetites. 25 girls with 25 large picnic lunches under their arms, marching down the Cleve- land Youngstown road made quite a spectacle. The rest of the hikers over- estimated their newly acquired ability and decided to go to Lake Stafford. To Lake Stafford they did go, but it is rumored they returned on four wheels. Hiking has become one of the new college sports. Be on the watch; these co-ed hikers of Kent State may visit you some day. — Kent College Press.

The Club aims to make better home-makers and conse- quently establish more ideal homes in our communities. Besides this real and lasting benefit, the girls have made their friendships stronger through this organization. There is something compelling and binding about this group, linked together by common purposes. In its educational and social aspects, the Club has carried on old traditions and also established some new customs. Early in the year, a business meeting was held and officers elected. The regular meeting night was the second and fourth Thursday of each month. Lectu res and discussions were interesting and profitable. The Club, this year, followed its customs of having breakfast in the grove back of the College. On a fine May morning, when the dew was still on the buttercups, the girls scampered out to the woods. Such dainties as were taken from the horn of plenty! Ham and eggs never before tasted so delicious. Then there was the dinner in the department dining room in Science Hall. The Food Class served cakes and fruit ice. All together the Club has had a most happy year.

The season started at Kent State with twenty-four aspiring gridders answering the call. Paul SpangTer. last year ' s star, was elected captain. With only three of last year ' s letter men returning. Coach Chandler faced a tremen- dous task in moulding some kind of a machine together for the first game. The season opened on September 23rd when Kent State was defeated by Hiram College, 14 to 0. It was a well-played, clean game, the first half ending to 0. In the final period, the Hiram backfield broke through for long and repeated gains that netted them two touchdowns. On September 30th, Kent State was defeated by the Mount Union College eleven at Alliance. 32 to 0. The Mountaineers scored in each period, doubling up in the final period with two. The Blue and Gold had the ball on Mount ' s one foot line, but a costly fumble lost the ball. After meeting defeat at the hands of Mount Union, Kent State warriors travelled to Cleveland, October 7th. only to have St. Ignatius grab off a 34 to victory. The Saints presented an attack that was too much for Chandler ' s much lighter team. On October 14th, the Blue and Gold went to Ashland and displayed the most spirited fight of the season. Ryan and Isaacson smashed at Ashland ' s defense while Herrick and Swartz starred on Kent State ' s defense. The game was hard fought throughout and resulted in a 14 to victory for Ashland. After meeting defeat at every turn and with only a handful of men. Kent faced Baldwin- Wallace at Berea on October 21st. This was our most crippling game of the season. Robson was injured and had to be taken to the hospital. Several line men had to be jerked on account of injuries. Everybody brought home some kind of a bruise. The B. W. Boys were glad to get 32 points to our if With the effects of the Berea game hardly over, on November 4th. Penn State Normal came to Kent to wrest a 14 to victory from the Blue and Gold. Penn made their scores in the first and second periods. In the last of the first half, Kent had the ball on Penn ' s eight yard line, but Dietz tried in vain to buck it over. This score for us would have told a different story. Both Isaacson and Swartz showed well in this game. Last on the program came Bowling Green and on Armistice Day the two rival normal colleges clashed. The result was a 6 to defeat for Kent. The teams were evenly matched and the play was fast and furious, Ryan, Swartz, Dietz and Spangler showing best for the locals. The season ended as everything good or bad must, but our memory will ever cherish the valor of these men who gave their all as a sacred duty to their alma mater. Win. lose, or draw, they are loyal sons of Kent State College. Page Ninety-five laakft Sail When the pig-skin has been tucked away, and the snow begins to fly. comes the greatest of all indoor sports — basketball. About eighteen ambitions basketballers answered Coach ( ' handler ' s initial call, only two of which, Hardy and Evans, were letter men of last year. All practice sessions and home games were held in the Congregational Gymnasium. The opening game was played at Ashland where Kent State was defeated 24 — 18. In the first half, Ashland ran away from the locals, but during the latter period, the Blue and Gold showed some pretty team-work and tightened the score. Tlie next game with Dayton was a 26 to 11 defeat for Kent, the Downstaters presenting a much superior offense. One week later Baldwin-Wallace handed Page Ninety-six Chandler ' s crew a 32 to 15 beating. The Berea Boys showed nothing startling in team-work but were very fortunate in their long shots. After losing three straight games, Kent State finally struck its stride and scalped the Cleveland Spencerians by a 22 to 18 score. In this game, State showed plenty of the fast floor work and caging ability. Showing the same smooth team play the Blue and Cold next completely outclassed the Davey Institute, 23 to 13. This victory was, indeed, a most satisfying one. Over confidence broke Kent State ' s winning streak at Cleveland the next week. Kent struck a- snag in the trip to Hiram and was completely snowed under, 48 to 10. The Christians displayed a brilliant floor attack which entirely bewildered the Staters. The next game resulted in another victory over the Davey Tree Skin- ners, the score this time being 30 to 20. Akron University, second team in the Ohio Conference, journeyed to Kent and administered a 48 to 25 lacing to the locals. Despite the final result of the game, Kent State probably showed her best ability during this combat. After losing six and winning three. State wound up the season by swamp- ing the John Marshall Law School of Cleveland. 35 to 12. The basketball season did not break any records or present any long string of victories. It did, however, develop a team that was full of fight and able to come back after defeat. Theodore Huge, center, was the main cog on the offense and a tower of strength on the defense. Evans, Frances, Hardy, and Miller, for forwards, did their share in every game; while Carlozzi, Shroeder and Gooeh, guards, all played consistent basket ball.

Why shouldn ' t such a successful season occur when Cook, Scheitz, Hostettler, Elker, Swigart, and Fillmore were always on the diamond. Xot only were these stars always in action hut Hoffee. Kirk. Rogers. Dietz, and Weinman were experts at the hat. The pitching was responsible for the victories. Swigart had a corking curve hall ami baffling change of pace while Fillmore displayed big league form in the latter part of the season. Hostettler as captain and Evans as manager piloted the team to a successful season. Besides these Inter-Collegiate contests, all the student body enjoyed in- tra-mural game between the Spring Beauties and the Hibernators. Be- fore the first ball was thrown a skunk cabbage parade was staged under the leadership of Carnahan, Hot-Rock , and Moore for the benefit of the Spring- Beauties. Despite the fact that the Appropriations limit the amount of supplies that are purchased for the base ball team, Coach Chandler is to be commended for the able manner in which he has secured results. The base ball teams at Kent State are very largely dependent upon the heavy influx of students May 1st. This arrangement does not allow the coach any time to whip a team together. Never-the-less he has inculcated into his warriors the fighting spirit and the victories have come as a result. Page Ninrty-ninc BLUE CHAMPIONS Page One Hundred (girls ' laate lall There is an old adage that says anticipation is half of the realization . Perhaps this applies to girl ' s haskethall at Kent State. During the season, twice a week, through the closed gym door came the sound of a haskethall whistle. After an hour of strenuous work on the floor, the girls would appear with rumpled hair and perspiring eyes, but the look and laughter in their eyes showed that there is fun as well as rivalry in basketball. All this time the student body was going through what we call anticipation. The realization came with the announcement that the Blue team would play the Gold in the first game of the series. The teams were chosen by lot. Some thought it was a distinction to wear a gold head band. Others, of course, though like-wise of the blue. From the first sound of Referee Hardy ' s whistle the game was one of interest as well as speed. After a few minutes of play the Golds dropped in two field goals, keeping the lead all through the game. In the second half the Blues made three baskets, leaving the final score 10-6. in the next game played the following week, the Blues decided that t hex- wanted to play a third game. To make this necessary they defeated the Golds with a score of 6-4. The third and deciding game of the series was beyond every one ' s anticipation. Suspense, interest, and confidence were evident every where. It was a battle from start to finish. Although not as fast as tin- first game, it was more furiously fought. The Golds in the first half threatened 1o carry off the honors but during the last half they turned the tables by caging two baskets. This gave the Blues the long end of the score. 4-2. Both teams are to be congratulated on the splendid spirit and good-natured rivalry displayed. Mr. Hardy was an ideal referee and the playing showed that Miss Hyde ' s coaching had been patient and thorough.

Kent State agrees that beauty should get its deserved tribute. As a matter of fact, is there anyone who can refrain from ad- miring beauty? Although a worn-out adage, truly, external beauty is only skin deep. At least this was the conception of the Kent College Press, so it decided to start a popularity contest. The idea was that the number of friends cue is able to cultivate is a real test of true greatness. Every student entered the contest with zest and enthusiasm and cast his vote for his favorites. After the nominations, all waited impatiently to find out the results. Like all big elec- tions, the voters cast their ballot in such a way that the nominees who stood highest were swamped in the finals. In this way the interest was raised to the nth degree. Miss Rosetta O ' Connor made a grand sweep of the votes and is now known as Kent State ' s Most Popular Young Lady. Congenial, witty, good- natured, and helpful, every new acquaintance becomes her cherished friend. At the piano Rosie is a perfect wizard and she has so unselfishly worked for the benefit of her college, that all Kent Staters have been able to enjoy and appre- ciate her talent. Mr. Edgar Slough defeated Mr. Paul Spangler. who ran a close second, thus winning the distinction of the Most Popular Man in the col- lege. Mr. Slough is one of that type who have developed such a harmonious and intricate assortment of qualities that every one is forced to like him. ll is impossible to describe just what the something is that he possesses. Perhaps it is personal charm or maybe it is just because lie is he.

We ha v ' nt stopped talking about the trip Kent State took to Washington last July. To see Washington and Arlington and Mount Vernon at a Fourth of July Celebration, to make real credits in geography and in history, to have the social enjoyment possible only when so many are making the trip, and to have all of these things at a cost less than would ordinarily be charged for any- one of them alone, is something which is hard to stop talking about. But what the Kentonian wants to say is that a trip has been arranged for next year that is to surpass last year ' s trip in every particular. Not Washington alone, but Philadelphia. Atlantic City, New York, The Hudson river, Albany, Buffalo, and Niagara Falls are to be visited, and a full program of study and entertainment is to make every moment worth while.

Provision was made for ranching one hund- red silver foxes which were imported from Prince Edward Island in the Gulf of the St. Lawrence River. The trained keeper who came from Prince Edward with the first shipment of foxes and who has assumed full charge of the breed- ing of the foxes here pronounces the new Kent Ranch the most commodious, sanitary and up-fo-date ranch in the country.

LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE AT KENT STATE A Liberal Arts College at Kent State is one of the goals toward which Kent State is working. The recent bill introduced into the legislature provided that Bowling Green State Normal and Kent State Normal should he changed to Bowling Green College and Kent State College. It also provided that the boards of trustees of the schools should continue as boards of trustees of the college and authorized them the right to grant A. B. Degree as prescribed by Ihe Trustees. Although the bill failed to pass the legislature this year, we feel confident that Kent State will grant the A. B. Degree in the near future.

Suddenly before my astonished eyes stretched a long procession, at its head a gilded chariot bearing a royal figure in Egyptian robes, its head bent of a scroll of papyrus, behind it over the plain stretched a long train of slaves, each bent beneath the weight of similar scrolls. Ye Gods ! There is something in re- incarnation after all ! In the abstract eye of the monarch I distinctly saw the look of my classmate Lauramarie. Scarcely had the vision faded when a clamor arose beside me. Turning I saw a short figure in Greek garb philosophising before a crowd of bored Athen- ians. What a flow of words! Is it possible! My friend Ilogue. At the height of his harangue Xantippe appeared upon the scene. The crowd melted away in silence. As she seized the now subdued philosopher by the ear. she turned her face, and — Gerda ! The Scold ! How characteristic ! What is this I hear? I am no orator as Brutus is! W-h-a-t ! Mark Anthony! No it can ' t be — ! Still the oratorical tone, the flashing eye, the lofty brow — yes it is Frank Moore ! Before him lies the pathetic clay that had once housed the noblest soul in Rome. All harshness is smoothed from those classic features, familiar — what though the world called him Caesar — to us he is Lucien Black. A sudden mist obscured my eyes, when it cleared I beheld a barge, afloat Purple the sails and so perfumed that the winds were lovesick with them. The figure reclining languorously upon the silken pillows was strangely garbed, but through all its barbaric splendor shown the seductive grace of one I well knew — Kathryn Grier, Even then men ' s hearts were shaken by her glance. A voice lifted in exhortation smote my ear. A figure in garb of Popery was haranguing a crowd of gaping rustics, promising them salvation for a fee. Page One Hundred-eight The voice was that of Tetzel but the indulgence was handed over with the same gesture with which Crilla Belle had so often passed me a ' hot dog . Instinctively my eye sought the door of the nearby cathedral. Yes. he was there, convulsively grasping his hammer driving home the nail that secured the ninety-five theses to the door, even now working to establish Lutheranism. !n history he may be Luther — to us he is Slough. My mind was hurried thence by a clanging of swords, and rumble of can- nonading. In the heart of the conflict, calm amid wreck of matter and the crash of worlds — stood out a figure, commanding, dominating the whole scene. I recognized the determined air, the eagle eye. Napoleon once, Cookie now! Thru the crash of battle stole a musical strain. Under its magic the tumult sank into nothingness. I beheld a figure seated before an old harpischord. The hands strayed across the keys — so gently, softly ! A plaintive Hungarian mel- ody floated to me. It was the same with which Abbe Liszt hail so often hushed the souls of men. The massive bead with leonine locks turned slowly. Not Liszt but Rose! Rose O ' Connor! Suddenly a crashing chord leaped from the keys. I straightened in my chair, nursed the toe upon which the ponderous volume had fallen — and pro- ceeded in the preparation of my report. HOPE Thou noble inspiration of the world, Thou hast been found wherever men have trod. What though thy form in mystery is furled Thou art of Cod. By thee the good exists in spite of sin. Thou lil ' test up the weary and oppressed. And thy life-giving spark is found within The sick man ' s breast. The stately edifices men have reared Are monuments erected unto thee. And tangled wildernesses have been cleared By thy decree. Thy rosy vision cheers the derelict, And leads the oft-defeated army on. That soul, indeed, is sorry to depict Where thou art gone. Buoyant Spirit ! Guiding Star of men, Through thee we dare to face Eternity. 1 wonder if we ' ll see thv image when We cease to — Dwight Packard. Page One Hundred-nine i nttnr m n, When mem ' ry wings her wonted flights Back through the veil of years. Brings back forgotten faces, Brings back our joys and tears; When we sit alone in the twilight. And our thoughts are backward turned. When over again in fancied dreams. Live pasts in souls deep burned: When Time with his scythe has cut us down, When our eyes are dim and blurred. When we come to the end of life ' s long road And wait only the Master ' s word; Let us not forget in our musings Of friends both tried and true ; Let us not forget to give a thought On this class of the Gold and Blue. Oh hallowed class of Golden blue, Thy mem ' ry ' s ever dear ; We ' ll not forget thee. Gold and Blue. Whose name we all revere. The time is growing close, alas. When we must say goodbye. As we take our leave to finish up Our dream castles in the sky. Our aims will not be reached, perhaps. Our star ' s perhaps too high; But our spirits ne ' er will daunted be. And our hope will never die. We ' ll make our mark and not give in Till the struggle of life is through. We ' ll fight to the end and the world will hear Of this class of the Gold and Blue ; In the Hall of Fame her standards shall rest, Willi her colors of Gold and Blue; And the world of tomorrow will echo the praise Of this class of the Gold and Blue. H. S. Page One Hundred-ten (Elj? Qltesttmt Finding it necessary to make a journey consuming several hours of time and becoming tired of reading and watching familiar passing scenery, the traveler turned his attention to the other occupants of the car. There was a man who, judging- from his brief case and perfect ease of manner was a traveling salesman. He spent most of the time napping. Just across the aisle was a young lady of the rather flashy type, eager to attract at- tention to herself. A young couple — newlyweds, as evidenced by their action and conversation — who seemed entirely unaware of all others, completed the list with but one exception. This exception was a carefully dressed woman of middle age, quite evi- dently a spinster. She wore a small, close-fitting hat under which her gray hair was very plainly arranged. On the lapel of her severely tailored suit was pinned a small, pink rose-bud. As the journey progressed one became aware of increased nervousness on her part. She watched stations and seemed to experience relief each time the train moved on. Then as the town of C — was called, the lady gathered together her possessions and prepared to depart. Gradually the train slowed down and finally stopped. The passenger left the train and was greeted on the station platform by a man. who was neither young nor old, and who wore a small pink rose bud in the button hole of his coat. These two met as people will when uncertain as to exact identity. As the train pulled out the last glimpse of this strange couple revealed them climbing into a rather delapidated Ford and driving away in the direction of town. The question in the mind of the traveler was, Did the spinster answer a matrimonial advertisement . ' —Mabel E. Edwards, ' 23. JUNIOR POEM We ' re not a bit stingy with our pep The students will all agree. For whether it ' s work, or whether it ' s play. We ' re the all- ' round Juniors of ' 23! Here many friendships we have formed. And some are old, some new, We hope through all the years to come, They ' ll e ' er stand firm and true. Our faculty ' s the best there is. You can search the wide world o ' er. From a store of knowledge, they give to us. All that they know, and more. We ' ve attended the parties and dances, Where good times are in store for all; We ' ll never forget the fun we ' ve had. At dear old Moulton Hall. And now in the closing lines, Kent State We ask you to hear this plea: ••Though, far apart our ways may lead Remember the Juniors of ' 23. Eleanor Douglas. Page One Hundred-eleven Dear Jim Riley : I borrowed this from you. I didn ' t take away much or I didn ' t add much to. Folks understand when God made you He took a year or two. For me He prob ' l took an hour and then He was all thru. I couldn ' t write a poem to tit my teacher here. So I took Old Fashioned Roses , for I knew you wouldn ' t care. Louise Fenton. There ain ' t much style about him. And he ' s sort of gray and faded. Yet 23 without him Would be lonesomer, and shaded With a good deal blacker shadder Than each cloudy morning brings. And each English face look sadder Without his Bill Nye flings. AVE like him ' cause he kinda Sort of makes a student like him, And I tell you if we speak a Thought that happens just to strike him. His head begins a noddin ' At the one that answered so, That ' s right. he speaks out slowly. And his eyes shine, don ' t you know. And then we think of Heaven. Just as here folks there will love him. And there isn ' t any other That will sit in rows above him. They ' ll make him head of English, For no other ' d suit so well. With Packard for our Teacher We ' d be happy down in Purgatory. But as we were a sayin ' . There aint much style about him Very showy or displayiif Yet we wouldn ' t be without him, And he ' s happier pleasin students. Just us common folks and sich. Than a President or a Governor That caters to the rich. Shakespeare was an ocean Splashing all the shores of thought Each wave had perfect motion And with perfect pearls was fraught. ' Tis this way with ev ' ry poet That ever has been named: Their splash is just as great As the poet they contained. Folks, don ' t miseonfuddle. We do not write for cash ; We ' re nothh ' g but a middle lint we ' ll make our little splash ! Page One Hundred-twelve SUCCESS Success is a thing of which poets sing In accents romantic and grand ; its laurel is placed On a stern and grim face Who rule with a mighty mailed hand. We ' ve long- held the thought. And ever been taught That to WIN is the ultimate aim; Some gain victory By chicanery. Some plunder and murder and maim. Success is not found In Mammon ' s bright crown. Nor yet in the stern martial van, It is not something real, But a thing that you FEEL— It exists in the HEART of a man. The highest success A man can possess Comes in doing the best that he can, If he ' s sparing no pains — Though he ' s making no gains, He is a success as a man. You may enter a race With a confident face. And win with ridiculous ease; But your victory has cost More than if you had lost. If you suffered your stride to decrease. You may do a thing well. And your proud bosom swell. And ' tis true you ' ve outdistanced the rest — Yet, what ever you do. You ' re a failure, if you Have not done your dead level best. C. Dwight Packard. DON ' T QUIT Life is queer with its twists and turns. As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure comes about When you might have won. had you stuck it out. Don ' t give up though the pace seems slow: You may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out — The silver tint of the clouds of douht. And you never can tell how close you are; It may be near when it seems afar. So stick to the fight when you ' re hardest hit — It ' s when yon have failed you may quit. — Paul Yarman. Page One Hundrei-ihirieen Kxb lags What fun ' twould be to be again sweethearts like we were then. You in the fourth grade, me in the first; loving each other for better or worse. How stiff we are now and how free we were then. Wouldn ' t you like to go back there again? But we never return to the days that have been. Dear me. no. We soon will be women and men. I can see yon yet with your tnrned-up nose and the muddy shoes with the turned-in toes. And those great brown freckles all over your face. Oh, gee, but then I had awful taste Von had such a winsome, awkward grace, and your nails were as black as the spade of an ace. Your hair was as yellow, my sweet Saxon fellow, as unpulled taffy or lemon jello. And was 1 much of a picture? I wonder. Oh. no! They called us the lightning and thunder. Because of my temper, because of your hair, they called us the thundering lightning pair. Oh, neither was 1 a picture, though with my hair bobbed short and my nose turned so, and my mouth flew open whenever Id ' iaugh, till you ' d think my whole face was diminished by half. You remember the day we went fishing? We two. I couldn ' t keep still, but neither could you. And finally you said, Now listen to this. You know that your mouth was just made to kiss. I was thrilled. I was scared. 1 pulled off my shoe. I snatched it right off and threw it at you. I threw it so hard, it really was shocking, then walked home alone and got burrs in my stocking. At last, in my teens, I grew to In- a Freshman, you still ahead of me. Those high school days were truly line, when we knew just enough to have a good time. Today (I ' m sorry) 1 no longer like you as I did when 1 sat on your bike, and rode with you up aud down hill. Then you were my .lack and I was your Jill. The coasting days and the skating place, oh, I haven ' t the time or yet the grace to write the fun thai we used to do, when you liked me and when I liked you. When you worked my Trig., and I, your stories, and the notes we ' d pass, and the sleigh ride glories. Oh ! Those glad kid days one never forgets, from the sugar bush to the violets. This is the way love always does, tries to please the one it loves. But the day came when my love did leave. The time you proposed, on New Year ' s Eve. At first I w r as sorry, but now I ' ve no doubt that my heart ' s far better inside me than out. But love unrequited is sweeter than when some kid day passion has reached its end. Time changes so, it changes how? What we love as kids, we love not now. But why am I writing all this here, w-hen I ' m getting so old in a college year? I ' d better stop writing this foolish junk and study my books or else I ' ll flunk. Keep the sweet past, yet hurry on. Love Kid Days still but look beyond. —J. L. Y. P. Page One Hundred-fourteen At % lull feme My husband, still a bridegroom, called me on the phone, one day, The Indians and the White Sox, he said, are going to play. So put on your wedding gown and comb out your bobbed locks. And we ' ll go to see the Indians beat those White Chicago Sox. I donned my new spring bonnet and all my prettiest clothes. Some new, white buckskin oxfords and my lovely, white silk hose. We hurried to our places, the game had just begun; Some other folks had rushed for they were talking about a run. I turned to Willie and I said, What makes them jump and howl? And Willie said, Why, don ' t you see, that White Sox hit a fowl. Could you imagine anything more trifling or absurd, Than for them with that big stick they swing to strike a little bird? Then suddenly a lightning crack. How those ball fans did shout ! i was so seared, What ' s happened now? What is it all about? Why, don ' t you see, he said to me, that Indian caught a fly, if it had slipped away from him. I guess that I would die. ' Fraility, thy name is man, I uttered with a sigh, To stop right in a game of ball to kill a little fly. But then I do suppose with all the flings and curves, A little buzzing fly sort of would get on their nerves. I sat gazing at the hats, for the hall game was a bore, While Willie gazed at swinging bats, and cussed and shrieked and ,;wore He ' d get so excited, he ' d jump from out his seat When an Indian stole a base or some such silly feat. At last he got so roused, he climbed to the highest row. Forgot his bride was by his side, well, then 1 felt de trop. Then suddenly they all began to scream and dance and holler, When I looked up at Willie, he had taken off his collar, And as I looked up at him. my heart strings played a moan. As excitedly he shouted, Hey ! Kid, come on home. I was so mad. Oh ! so indignant, but I clambered up the step, I felt so mortified, I could have fought or wept. My husband ' s coarser nature, his infinite lack of tact 1 ' d never seen, I thought before no virtue did he lack. Till he cried before those people, Go back, you fool, go back. As I clambered down again, my feet somehow got tripped. And Willie cried, Slide, fool, why slide. Oh, how the laughter ripped. A situation certainly becoming to a bride. Most every man in that grand stand was shouting, Slide, kid, slide. If only from tin- public gaze my being could be hid, But with the balance left to me, believe me folks, I slid. Willie, getting gallant, reached finally my side. Why are they yelling at me and laughing so? I cried. Absentmindedly he turned and smoothed my chestnut locks. And gazing straight beyond him. sadly murmured, The White Sox. ■ ' Well, what ' s the matter with them! I touched my lovely hose. T was angry as Xanthippe or Rip ' s wife when he ' d doze. Most half the fans in that grand stand like a million crowing cocks, Yelled, Look at them, look, the White Sox, Sox, Sox. To me it was a tragedy that I could see no fun in. J Page One Hundred-fifteen Said Willie sad, The White Sox, dear, have got a ran in. The White Sox, they ' ve got a ran, those rude men screamed in glee, And no one blushed and while they yelled they did not look at me. And as we journeyed home that night, Bill didn ' t even grin. He only cussed the white sox, and the run that they ' d got in. Gosh darn it, if those White Sox only hadn ' t got that ran. In vain I tried to soothe him, but those sox had killed his fun. Next time I ' ll wear some strong hose tho ' they do not look so well. I ' ll liny some thick, dark lisle ones, like those that Gensemer ' s sell. — J. Louise Fenton Mb fou Wnglj f ottrsrlt? In many public places, we see a sign, Did you weigh yourself today? So, we are minded to ask, Have you weighed yourself today, in relation to your job, and if so, how did you size up with the requirements? The story of any successful man ' s life is the story of mind development, courage, industry, enthusiasm, patience, and determination. It is entirely and solely up to you, whether you will remain a follower or become a leader, whether you will lie a mental cripple or an intellectual giant. Every position presents numerous opportunities for personal development, and the material with which men may develop. A ' ' Light-weight ' ' is all right in his own class, but he seldom does any- thing outside of it. Even in his proper division, a Light-weight is seldom successful unless he carries a good, stout punch in either glove. On the other hand, a man may weigh a few hundred pounds, physically, and still be more interesting than important. The big thing which overshadows the rest, is this: How much do you weigh, mentally? Have you initiative, creative ability, vision, imagination — nerve? Have you plenty of pep? Do you try to do a little more and a little better work today than you did yesterday or last week? Or, do you continually watch the clock, kill time, worry about the weather and do just enough work to get you by? Are you an eighteen karat staller. or a quick-thinking, rapid-moving, live-wire? Weigh yourself. ' ' The fellow who never does any more than he is paid for, seldom gets paid for more than he does. It doesn ' t take loug to spot the clock watchers in any organization. If any member of a group does not give his group the best he has in him. then he is not an ideal member of the group. Your best means just that — not pretty good, nor good enough, but best — and to deliver it. you have to keep hustling about sixty seconds every minute. Of course, it can be done. Every- body is pulling for you to come through a winner. Are you coming ? Or are you going to quit on the road? Remember. If you are not on the road, you are in the road, and do your best. — L.
