Coursen Page nineteen Dauta Cratoforti 221(110 By the time this appears upon the printed page, the newspapers will have printed a few unimportant facts, we shall have given up a helpless broken body for Mother Nature to shelter beneath a green blanket and a restless spirit will have gone back to the infinite from whence it came. And, those who do not think will say— The End. It is the end ; but only the end of the beginning — the completion of the first phase of that which we call a life. A life is like a seed which germinates and through growth speaks out the message of eternal things. With tears we ease the pain of sorrow for material loss, the clasp of hand, the voice in cheerful greeting, the strength of body in time of need, the smile of understanding, the spoken word of wisdom, the act of kind- ness, — but the life goes on and on in the development and fulfillment of thoughts and plans which had their inception during these few short years he spent with us. A host of people guided on their way, — A world inspired and strengthened by his stay. No one has worked harder or to better advantage in the establish- ment and organization of this educational institution and no one has given of time and energy with greater willingness. The children of our children will profit by his having lived and what greater tribute can we give to any man than to say to him, — He Served Humanity. - g Manchester Page twenty ifacttftp To Our Faculty C NOTHER class has conic and is v going on along the Road of Life. Going on better prepared for zvhat is to conic because of you who. have been our standard bearers along the Path of Col- lege Years — Our Teachers. Once more you have given the best you had to give. Once more you have aided, cheered, and challenged. Your work has not been for just a day, a zveek or a year — it will go with us as we journey, always. In com- memoration of our joys and friendships we give this thought for you: You have been not only a teacher, but a fellow-traveller of zvhom zve asked the way. You pointed ahead — ahead of your- selves as well as of us. Working and climbing toward this common goal will make our lives richer, freer, and happier. For all that you have given us, for all that you have done, zve thank you. « Page twenty-two oa N-Trur-a uL Wa lLoAJ President Kenl Stat. N.iraml College, 1926 Page twenty-three John E.

He was born in Strasburg, Ohio, sixty-nine years ago. He was educated at Wooster, and had taught in Baldwin Wallace College as well as in other colleges and normal schools. He became a teacher in Kent State in 1917. He was admired by students, faculty members, and citizens for his tolerance, his sense of justice, and his ever-ready acts of charity. This is peace — To lay up lasting treasure Of perfect service rendered, duties done, In charity, soft speech, and stainless days. These shall not fade away. Nor death dispraise. When the mild and just die, sweet airs breathe; The world grows richer, as if a desert stream Should sink away to sparkle up again Purer, with broader gleam.

Gilbert Doris Scroggie Page one hundred two ft icftP m nm g KENT State ' s Department of Physical Education is unique in that it is called upon not only to carry forward the program of required activities which fills so important a place in the lives of all college men, but it also offers a four-year course or a major in Physical Educa- tion which leads to a special college diploma in addition to the Degree of B.S. in Education. It is also unique in that the whole athletic and recre- ational life of the men is directed by the staff of this department. Inter- collegiate contests are scheduled, varsity teams are coached, and the de- tails of the business are carried out by the staff. Kent State was one of the first Normal Colleges to recognize physi- ' cal education activities as worthy of credit toward the degree. It is an established fact that for efficient service it is necessary to have a sound body and a sound mind. On entering at Kent State the students are given a careful physical examination. The present staff consists of: Dr. A. 0. Deweese, School Physician and Head of the Department of Physical Education ; Frank L. Oktavec, Director of Athletics ; Coach Merle Wagoner, Coach and Instructor in Physical Education. Athletics at Kent State were in an unusually depressed condition when Coach Merle Wagoner and Director Frank L. Oktavec came to take charge in the fall of ' 25. The college had lost 37 consecutive games scor- • ing only one touchdown in all these games. Although Kent won but one game she can boast of going through a whole season with but one defeat. The success of this season cannot be attributed to any one player but we do owe Coach Wagoner much praise for the success of the past season. His general good spirits and his contagious enthusiasm have already won for him the respect of the college men and there is no doubt but what his success for another season will prove just as successful.

DeWeese came to Kent State College in October, ' 24, to assume the Direc- torship of the Department of Health and Physical Education. For the past several years he has been Professor of Physiology and Pharmachology in the University of Louisville Medical School. He was also as- sociated with Dr. Haven Emerson in the Health and Medical Survey of Cities, and was staff physician for the Children ' s Clinic Orphanage in Louisville. Dr. DeWeese is a normal school and a university graduate. Frank L. Oktavec assumed the position as Director of Athletics in October, ' 25. He received his preliminary training in the public schools of New York City. He at- tended the University of Dubuque and later Columbia University where he received both his B.S. and M.A. Degree. During the war Mr. Oktavec served in the French Foreign Legion. Before coming to Kent he taught at Spring Valley, White Plains, N. Y., and was for a while engaged in settlement work in New York City. Merle Wagoner began his work as coach in October, ' 25. Coach Wagoner received his preliminary training at Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania where he played football four years. He played quarterback and end on the championship team in ' 11 and ' 12, when his school was champion of the United States in the Academy circles. Coach Wagoner also holds a state record for pole vaulting. He is a graduate of Ohio State University. Before coming to Kent Coach Wagoner was coach at West Tech where he produced three championship teams.

Despite the fact that the game was played on a muddy field, it proved to be a great day for Kent. Hiram played a hard game but Kent ' s line plunges held her from scoring. The team was badly crippled when Joe Delone was taken from the field with a broken ankle. Even though the score was 0-0 the inexperienced Kent gridders felt very confident of future possibilities. EDINBORO A team that will not, cannot be beaten, was Kent ' s motto when the team traveled to Edinboro. The field was a slough of mud and water, the remains of an eight-inch snow. The Edinboro team was much strong- er than anticipated and Kent was forced to another tie score. On the first kickoff of the game, Schwartz ran 85 yards, carrying the ball to Edin- boro ' s 5-yard line. This was a good beginning for Kent, but on the next play Kent fumbled the ball. The ball was kicked down the field by Edin- boro and from there on neither team seemed able to gain much ground. INDIANA With greater determination than ever to win Kent traveled to Indi- ana with the hopes of revenge for last year ' s defeat. Indiana scored early in the quarter ; this only made Kent fight harder. Hall broke through Indiana ' s line time after time to stop the fast Indiana backs. Kent played a good game but a series of fumbles, two of them within Indiana ' s 20- yard line prevented her from scoring again. In the last 37 seconds of play Kent saved the day when Francis caught a pass and ran 35 yards for a touchdown. WEST LIBERTY The largest number of fans that ever witnessed a game in the his- tory of the college saw Kent spoil the game for West Liberty when Kent won her first victory. The game was the best and undoubtedly the most interesting of the season. Kent carried the battle to the opponent ' s territory and only three times during the whole game did West Liberty invade our territory. By a series of bucks and passes the ball was carried to within a couple of yards of the opponent ' s goal. Mel McDermott carried the ball for a touchdown and kicked the goal. FINDLAY The last game of the season was a great disappointment to the whole college. The game was made interesting by numerous sensational passes and broken field runs. During the second quarter of the game Kent car- ried the ball to Findlay ' s six-inch line, but was unable to carry it over. Three minutes later a Findlay back broke through, picked up a fumble and ran 50 yards for a touchdown. Kent State ' s hopes were dashed on the rocks and from there on Kent seemed helpless.

On his squad there are many veterans who have proved their worth in past seasons and at present everything looks favorable for a successful season. The infield will be one of the strong fortes of the team. Ray Glass and Ty Youngen are expected to do the best hurling ever this spring. There will be several capable men for the first sack, among whom are Peterka and Hallihan, Byrne, Miller, and Morris, veterans from last year are expected to show up well at second, short and third. Freeley, Trach- sel, Hall and others are expected to show up well. The outer garden contestants will probably be Colville, Haines, Fran- ces, and others. Tennis 1926 Tennis as an inter-collegiate sport at Kent State is in its infancy. A team composed of Clark Line, Chas Dunn, and Herman Chapman, trav- eled to Cleveland but were rather unsuccessful in carrying away the trophies. This year Director Frank Oktavec has introduced the novel game of paddle tennis into the school. This game not only serves as a pleasant indoor sport but will be a great help in developing material for the spring team. Soccer 1926 Soccer or Association Football as it is sometimes called, is one of th e oldest of outdoor sports. It is well authenticated that both the Greeks and Romans played a game which has much in common with the modern game. Soccer football has been one of the great sports of Merrie England. For some reason this sport has taken only a slight hold in the United States. Interscholastic and Intercollegiate is commonly played only in the states of the Atlantic seaboard. Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey take great interest in this game. The National Collegiate Athletic Association for several years past has been trying to arouse interest in the game and a large number of colleges are being made to firmly establish the game. The Department of Physical Education has for some time been try- ing to promote this vigorous outdoor sport. This fall it was included in the required Physical Education program and proved very popular. It is the desire of the department to promote the sport as a part of the program and it is hoped that within a short time both interest and skill will develop which will make it a natural and logical step to form a varsity team for intercollegiate competition. Page one hundred twenty-eight Marie Hyde Apple MARIE Hyde Apple is a graduate of the Wisconsin State Normal School of Physical Education, was instructor of physical training in the city schools of La Crosse, Wis., and later physical direc- tor in the State Normal School at Oshkosh, Wis. She came to Kent State in 1918 as physical director of women. In the past years her work has been diffi- cult due to the lack of space and equipment in the old gymnasium. This year, with all the advantages of the new Wills Gymnasium, her work takes all of her time and effort. She has charge of the training-school classes in physical training, practice teachers in physical education, and the college physical training classes for girls, besides instruc- tion for the girls who are specializing in physical education. As she herself is fond of athletic activities, she is an enthusiastic participator in bowl- ing, tennis, baseball, and especially the events offered on Faculty Women ' s gym night. Her friends are countless, and due to her pleasing personality and kindly manners she is held in esteem by all. Page one hundred twenty-nine Evelyn LonK Henrietta Strayer Vera Jackson Elizabeth Boyd T ennis LAST Spring when the first call was given for tennis, many girls came forth armed with their rackets. Some were veterans and eager for rivalry, while others had dreams of some day being able to de- feat Helen Wills Such an interest was shown that soon two courts were not enough to accommodate everyone. A tournament was played during the latter part of May. Results were much in favor of the Physical Education department. Henrietta Strayer and Evelyn Long, winners of the doubles, and Vera Jackson winner of the singles. Jack showed unusual skill in placing the balls and her endurance during the entire tournament was remarkable. Hank and Ev played a fast and exciting game, winning by a narrow margin. This year a new sport has been introduced at the college, namely that of Paddle Tennis. At first, being new and strange, it lacked participants but now it is played with enthusiasm by many.

Freshman Basketball Squad i HE Freshmen, who are majoring in Physical Education, have been given instructions for both playing and coaching basketball by girls ' rules, under the direction of Mr. Oktavec. As it is so essential for the physical development of the girl to play basketball only by girls ' rules, the referees and coaches must be firm be- lievers of such. It has been proven that the game can be as fast and as skillful, as when played by boys ' rules. Page one hundred thirty-one Top Row : Sanders, H. Blake, Steinmetz, Felt, F. Blake.

Although soccer is a rough game and similar to Rugby, the girls proved that they were as good at it as the boys. Many a girl has felt the real meaning of sock-her, but con- sidered it a part of the game. Soccer for girls is comparatively new in this part of the country and only in recent years has it been taken up by the colleges. Although tried as an experiment it has met with great success, and promises to become a major sport. This year the activity is open only to Sophomores, but in coming years it is most probable that it will become an intramural sport the same as basketball. Page one hundred thirty-two Tup Row : Vine. Zever, Bradshaw. Bottom Row : Jackson, Stine (capt. ) , Lane. Macaronis THE Macaronis are certainly good basketball players, and we don ' t mean Spaghetti ! They are the pride and joy of the Musketeers. The pep, spirit, and fight displayed by these veterans, outclass, in this re- spect, the swarthy Buccaneers. They too have never smelled defeat, and each night finds them duti- fully practicing for the final skirmish. As practice makes perfect, they expect to give the Blockheads such a crushing defeat, as will subdue them for all time. Par c one hundred thirty-three Top Row: Birkbeck (capt.), Reed, Blake. Bottom Row: Camp, Blalock, Carr. Blockheads ' his notorious gang is as yet unconquered ! To them is given the honor of having one of the fastest and snappiest teams ever playing at Kent State. The team work of Strayer and Blalock is inconceivable and truly make one ' s hair raise to witness such accurate shots, made from all angles on the floor. Since to them To win is to live, may Good Luck be their referee in their final struggle with the Macaronis for supremacy. Page one hundred thirty-four H. Blake of the Honorable Musketeers H. Strayer of the DistiriKuished Buccaneers Musketeers NEVER will Kent Staters forget the first outstanding fracas between the Buccaneers and Musketeers, when one morning in assembly Hank Strayer as a swash-buckling Buccaneer, came tearing down the aisle, hotly pursued by Helen Blake, a high-hat Musketeer. Words! The clash of swords ! Then the appearance of Mr. Oktavec who, as a buffer, pursuaded them to delay their combat until their followers could join them. Every girl of the college is either a Honorable Musketeer or a Distin- guished Buccaneer. Such was the bloodless beginning of a noble order, founded by Mr. Oktavec, to stimulate interest in girls ' athletics. Although it is in its infancy, it shows promise of great growth. However it needs encourage- ment from the student body ; a more active participation on the part of its members, and greater enthusiasm shown by the spectators. Two fierce fracases have already been staged, the Musketeers win- ning the first ; the Buccaneers the second. To sustain interest at all times, basketball games were scheduled, the following teams competing: Madcaps Marvels Mumps Macaronis Berries Bow-Wows Bumps Blockheads We hope that Mr. Oktavec ' s novel plan of promoting girls ' athletics will become customary and eventually a tradition at Kent State College. Page One hundred thirty-fire Ethel McMasters Henrietta Stray er Agnes Quinlan ct Our Cheer Leaders HOW did Kent State win her first football victory this year? Truly, the team and coach are to be congratulated, but what of the spirit of the students? The pep and enthusiasm displayed at our pep rallies and later at the games have convinced everyone that our cheer- leaders have aroused in Kent Staters a spirit that rightfully belongs to college activities. However Kent State has a long ways to go before such a spirit is found in all students, instead of a few, and in all activities instead of one or two games.

The attractive dancing par- lor blending with the times of syncopating orchestra enlightened this for- mal evening among all the members and alumni. Characteristic talks were excellently given by Professors Van Deusen, Rumold and several other members of the Delta Phi. Pleasant memories of this event will ever be in the thoughts of the Delta Phi Sigma Fraternity of K. S. C. Delta Phi Sigma is a concentration of the ideals expressed in the three Greek words Daidouchoumen, Philokaloumen, Selagoumen. Each word is a lamp that leads the way to some scholarly attainment. Together they represent all that is finest in scholarship. The good, the beautiful, the true, these are the things that we cherish for ourselves and for our Alma Mater in our college career. We are torch bearers, we cultivate the fine arts, and we enlighten. Scholarship, social life and leadership are our watchwords. Whatever needs doing to impress these is our work. To this work our service in college is dedicated. Page one hundred forty Page one hundred forty-one Gamma Tau Delta ALPHA CHAPTER Founded 1925 Prof. Emmett C.

The Phi Lambda Tau gave an autumn party — in which pledges and active members were delightfully entei ' tained by a bridge at our presi- dent, Miss Hazel Keener ' s home, in Kent. The Christmas Dance, which was held at the Franklin Hotel, lent color and gaiety to the winter season. Since Phi Lambda Tau has become the Omicron Omicron Chapter of the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority eventful things are happening in the social calendar of the organization. Friday evening, February 5, a dinner was held at the Franklin Ho- tel. Miss Grace Fultz, national treasurer of the Alpha Sigma Alpha, Miss Blanche Verder, Dean of Women, Miss Ada Hyatt, faculty advisor of the sorority, and Mrs. Stopher, patroness were guests of the sorority. The dining room was decorated in sorority colors and roses. After the dinner a business meeting was held at the home of Miss Hazel Keener, Miss Fultz pledged the sorority Saturday. The spring season ushers in a delightful time for Alpha Sigma Alpha. A spring dance is being planned. Preparations are being made for the installation of Omicron Omicron Chapter into Alpha Sigma Alpha na- tional sorority. National officers of the Alpha Sigma Alpha Sorority are to be entertained by the Omicron Omicron Chapter at Kent. The installa- tion banquet will be held on April 10. A breakfast will be given on April 11 at the Franklin Hotel. This will close the week-end program for the big event of the year for Omicron Omicron Chapter of Alpha Sigma Al- pha, the installation period.

The seven sororities on the campus of Kent State were invited. The Music Room was beautifully decorated in cream and green. Six trellises with various colors interwoven, signifying the other sororities, blended harmoniously with the colors of Delta Sigma Epsilon. During intermission little Miss Statler gave a delightful dancing feature. The Formal was opened by a Grand March, at which time the pro- grams, in the form of small leather-bound check books, were received from the Paying Teller of the Delta Sigma Epsilon Bank, Inc. Guests of honor included : Miss Blanche Verder, Mrs. Verder, Miss Bess Rider, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Oktavec, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Donaghey, Miss Chloe Todd, Miss Geraldine Izant, Mrs. Edith Coe White, Miss Mittie Smith, Miss Mona Fletcher, Mr. and Mrs. Stopher and Miss Sh amel. Various members of the faculty complimented D. S. E. for giving the first formal dance ever held on the campus of Kent State. Miss Verder, especially, congratulated Tau Chapter in giving, so early in their career as a National Sorority, so successful a social event. The unusually good music and the artistic decorations caused a ball- room atmosphere to pervade throughout the entire evening. Even the faculty had an exceptionally good time-proof that the formal was a suc- cess. Page one hundred fifty Page one hundred fifty-one Gamma Sigma Phi Sorority IN November, 1925, the seventh sorority was organized at Kent. This sorority is the Gamma Sigma Phi. The charter members are Thelma Young, president, Elizabeth Benyon, vice-president, Violet Thornquist, recording secretary, Jane Mason, corresponding secretary, Agnes Black, treasurer, Evelyn Williams, Helen Crooks, and Martha Wells. We all know that they were very fortunate in choosing Miss Ann Maud Shamel as faculty adviser. In January we had our first rushing party. A very pleasant after- noon was spent in playing Bridge and Five Hundred, after which a deli- cious lunch was served. We had as our guest Mrs. White, matron of Moulton Hall. February twenty-seventh is a day which will long be remembered by all the girls of the sorority, particularly the pledges. It was on this day that five pledges became sorority sisters of the charter members. They were Eleanor O ' Malley, Esther Farrelly, Anne Chalk, Mary Dickson, and Virginia Smith. Initiation was held in Science Hall on Saturday after- noon. That evening the members entertained with a sumptuous chicken dinner at the Franklin Hotel. The table was very attractively decorated in the sorority colors, green and white. Favors were white gardenia but- toniers. Miss Thelma Young, president, gave a brief talk about the sorority, after which Miss Shamel, faculty adviser, gave a short im- promptu speech. Following this, the sorority sisters all gave short im- promptu speeches. We were all very delighted to have with us Mrs. Shamel, our adviser ' s mother. At present we have four pledges, Agnes O ' Horo, Bernice Warner, Florence Gunderson and Melva Moore. Despite the fact that this sorority is very young, those who have be- come acquainted with it wish and hope for a very successful future.

Beta Tau Zeta THE Beta Tau Zeta sorority has had many interesting social events this year. They started the year by giving an athletic party to some of their friends to arouse interest in the coming football games. Then the girls earned money for the athletic association by helping sell weiner sandwiches at the football games. One of their most interesting events was a dinner and theater party at Akron. This dinner was given at the Portage Hotel from which the girls went to the Colonial Theater. Miss Blanche Verder and Mrs. George Verder were the guests of honor. Some of the alumnae members also at- tended the party. One very merry evening was spent in the dining room of Lowrey Hall where everyone played cards. The most enjoyable affair however was a card party at the home of Miss Eleanor Ann Meyer, the faculty advisor of the sorority. Many guests were entertained at this party. The new members of the sorority are: Miss Elsie Kasserman Miss Marguerite Filmer Miss Mary Robinson Miss Dorothy Stewart Miss Lois Weichel Miss Fecliah Wallace Miss Essie McClellen The officers for the year are : President Miss Beatrice Johnson Secretary and Treasurer Miss Marion Carlile Sergeant-at-arms Miss Abbie Morse Page one hundred fifty -four Back row, left to right — -Elizabeth Switky, Treasurer, Leana Samuel, Emily Rosen, Lillian Hurwitz, Rebecca Vinitsky, Hannah Rabinowitz, Hannah Kanter, Secretary.

Phi Epsilon Sorority is growing better and better every year. Ever since its origin this group of girls, small but powerful, became very active. Many interesting and enjoyable events have taken place this year among the Phi Epsilon sisters, one of which was a bridge party given in Moulton Hall, which proved to be a gala event. After having tread a steep, perilous and thorny path the pledges, Grace Davidow, Beatrice Giber, Emily Rosen, and Ruth Kahan, were ini- tiated. What came next? Why a banquet? What for? For the wel- coming of the new sisters into our sisterhood that capped the climax of the week-end of initiation. Mrs. Louis Bu Dahn was welcomed into the sorority as our faculty advisor. In her honor a beautifully appointed social tea was given at Moulton Hall. The presiding officers of the sorority are : President - Naomi Bell Secretary Hannah Kanter Treasurer Elizabeth Switky Publicity Manager Lillian Hurivitz Page one hundred fifty-five Epsilon Theta EARLY in the spring of 1924, the sorority was organized at Kent State College. This sorority, one of the first to be recognized on the Cam- pus, was called Epsilon Theta. It had for its president Katherine Irwin, a girl of high scholarship and unusual ability. The Epsilon Theta had for its charter members such efficient and capable girls as Isabelle Collins, Helen Shattuck, Mary Ulmer, Nedra Smith, and Alice Chambers. Among the first pledges to this sorority were Mary Louise Dunn, Mildred Johnston, Catherine Clevenger, Wilma Pratt, Naomi Burke, and Sarah Henricle. The new members who were initiated into Epsilon Theta in January, 1926, were Betty Pille, Ruth Sweeney, Doris Iddings, Helen Hippie, and Hazel Cook. The new pledges for this year are Katherine Orell, Esther Keay, Lu- cille Ewing, Kathleen Fisher, Ethel Frischknet, and Irma Bate. The social events on the calendar of Epsilon Theta for the year were many and varied. A get acquainted party was given at Moulton Hall by the old members for the pledges. Entertainment was furnished by dancing, games, and cards and the party was followed by a delightful pic- nic supper. The pledges not to be outdone, entertained the active mem- bers by a Thanksgiving dinner at Moulton Hall. A Christmas party was the next important event on the calendar. Then came the formal initia- tion of the pledges and in honor of the new members of Epsilon Theta a most delightful luncheon was given at the Portage Hotel in Akron. Miss Blanche A. Verder, Miss Isabel Hazen, sponsor of the sorority and five former members were honored guests at the luncehon. Afterwards the members of the sorority attended a theatre party. Late in February came a hike and a barbecue picnic. Festivities for the winter quarter closed with a formal tea given in the reception rooms of Moulton Hall, March sixteenth, at which twenty guests were entertained among whom were Dean Blanche Verder, Mrs. Verder, Mrs. Edith Coe White, and Miss Hazen. Epsilon Theta was pledged to the National Educational Sorority, Theta Sigma Upsilon, April, 1926 As a whole this has been a very successful year for Epsilon Theta and it is hoped that a bright and prosperous future is in store for the organization.

Page One hundred sixty-one Phi Theta Upsilon A NEW sorority has been organized at Kent College — the Phi Theta Upsilon — a sorority of high standards and ideals, with the most promising outlook for success and achievement. The organization considers itself very fortunate to have Miss Nina Humphrey as their Faculty Advisor. Election of officers resulted as follows : President Vera May Harrington, Akron, Ohio Vice-President = Mina Robson, Elyria, Ohio Recording Secretary . Jessie Mae Green, Cadiz, Ohio Corresponding Secretary Clara Eaton, East Palestine, Ohio Treasurer Marguerite Kienle, Chicago, Illinois Committee Chairman Louise Haag, Mansfield, Ohio Sergeant-at-Arms Jessie Peoples, Mt. Gilead, Ohio Chaplain Myrtie Maneely, Youngstown, Ohio Charter members are : Vera Harrington, Mina Robson, Louise Haag, Clara Eaton, Jessie Peoples, Jessie Mae Green, Myrtie Maneely, and Mar- guerite Kienle. Spirited and interesting meetings have been held and most pleasant social affairs are being planned for the future. Among Phi Theta Upsilon ' s most enjoyable social affairs during the spring term has been an informal tea on April 25th at the home of Miss Nina Humphrey in Cuyahoga Falls. On the evening of April 30th, the Off Campus Women ' s Club Room was the scene of a reception and party for the members of the Phi Theta Upsilon Sorority and their friends. Several guests from out of town were present, among them being Miss Myrtie Maneely of Youngstown and Miss Agnes Donaldson of Bedford. Among the coming events are a theatre party and dinner in Akron. The theatre party will be at Keith ' s Albee Palace. Page one hundred sixty-two Sigma Sigma Sigma Motto— Faithful Until Death Flower — Purple Violet. Past Faye B.

Its aims are three-fold — first to establish among the members a perpetual bond of friendship; second, to develop in them strong womanly character, and third to im- press them with the vast opportunities of the teaching profession.

This group is known for its hospitality to new girl students, and its companionship among all of its members. At an election held Tuesday, October 13th, the following people were elected : President, Katherine Dietrich, Vice-President, Elizabeth Trus- cott, Secretary, Lucy Stadler, and Treasurer, Faye Wolfe. The first big social event of this term was the Hallowe ' en party which was held Friday evening, October 22. The hall was elaborately decorated for the occasion. During the evening, cider and doughnuts were served. Everyone pronounced the party a success. The Pop Entertainment was a great success in more ways than one. It brought us before the eyes of the town and college as a club that was worth helping, and it also brought us practical remuneration for furnishing our club room. The following people were elected as officers for the winter term: President, Pauline Gaston, Vice-President, Jane Gibson, Secretary, Fran- ces Boettler, and Treasurer, Faye Wolfe. During that quarter the attention of the club was centered on the improvement of the club-room in Science Hall. Miss Nixson kindly aided the furniture committee in choosing a three-piece set of wicker furniture to match the furniture which was bought last year. Also two straight chairs of wicker were added. The piano, which was in Merrill Hall, was given by the college. This gift has been much appreciated. Mr. Whyte did his bit to help the club by having the screens painted and the doors lettered. Miss Gaston gave a beautiful mirror to the club. As is the custom the club gave a tea to the faculty and new students on registration day. Three parties were given in the winter term, the first a get-acquainted party, the second a valentine and the third a St. Patricks party.

Thinking that such a So- ciety would be beneficial to those students at Kent State who take a vital interest in their chosen profession, and who will strive to make the community in which they will live as teachers a better community, a group of active Kent Staters formed a club, whose object was to foster interest in problems of social science. The meeting was held on December 3, 1925. Later a Constitution was drawn up, which stated that it shall be the ob- ject of this club to foster interest in problems of social science as they affect general social conditions throughout the nation ; to the end that the society as a unit and its members as individuals may be enabled, through a practical and accurate knowledge of social conditions, to exert an effective influence for their improvement. It shall be the endeavors of this Society to gain this objective by four methods: (1) Through increasing our general knowledge of political, social and general economic institutions now established by means of reports and discussions of members at the regular meetings of the club. (2) By se- curing the service of prominent public men as speakers. (3) By prac- tical investigation and reports on s ocial conditions and problems. (4) By establishing, in due time, a number of subsidiary organizations in com- munities of northeastern Ohio, having kindred objects and interests. These subsidiary organizations, through cooperation with each other and the parent body, would extend the influence and effectiveness of the Society, increase the scope of its investigation and informational activities, and provide congenial meeting places for socially minded members of vari- ous clubs. The membership has been open to all who are interested in social sci- ence work. Many live topics have been discussed, such as law enforce- ment, rural and urban influences on modern American politics, physical efficiency, municipal beautification, and juvenile court. Special speakers have been Judge Robinson of Ravenna, Dr. DeWeese, and Prof. Olson. President Mr. Ben Shroeder Vice-President Mr. Raymond Trachsel Secretary-Treasurer ..Miss Mae Williams Committee Chairmen — Constitution and Bij-Laivs __ Miss Faye Wolfe Program Miss Florence Babb Entertainment .__ , Miss Helen Hahn Our factulty advisors have been Prof. Byrne and Miss Meyer. We hope that our efforts have not been in vain. We believe that our college needs such a society, to help us become better citizens and more able teachers. Let us not forget that one of our duties as a member of our profession is to so influence life around us as to make this world of ours a better place in which to live. By so doing we will fulfil one of our great- est aims. What better thing could we strive for? Page one hundred seventy-six I ' at v one hundred seventy-seven Y. W. C. A.

WITH the coming of spring, one begins to look back over the work which he has done to measure to some degree his success. In turn- ing back the leaves of time for the Y. W. C. A., we find many things to its credit with the additional word success. The Y. W. C. A. has proved to the college that it is an active organi- zation by having hikes, outdoor breakfasts, and various other social func- tions. At Hallowe ' en, a party was given at the Children ' s Home in Ra- venna. The children enjoyed it so much, that next year they were prom- ised another. Not only at our own college , but also in the mountains of Kentucky, the Y. W. C. A. at Kent State College is known. At Christmas several boxes were packed by the girls, who so willingly gave their time to the dressing of twenty-five dolls, and so unselfishly donated articles of clothing no longer wanted, that some child might be made happy. The annual bazaar of the Y. W. C. A. was attended by more people than ever before. The musical talent of this organization was displayed at Christmas, when the members with lighted candles went to the homes of the faculty singing the beautiful Christmas carols. In the social and recreational life of the Y. W. C. A. the members show the same creativeness. The Colonial Ball was a huge success, with prac- tically every person in costume. Many times was the comment heard, I am having the best time ! This probably more than all else is the crite- rion for the success of an affair. Now to close this most successful year, the Y. W. C. A. showed its wisdom and again elected Lucille Pearce to be president. To work with her we find Dixie Wales, vice-president, Beatrice Johnstone, secretary, and Anna Wells, treasurer, and Marion Fisher, undergraduate representa- tive. With this splendid staff of officers, who have taken the initiative in many other new undertakings, we are left with the prospect of a bright future. Who can tell what the next step of the Y. W. C. A. will be? Page one hundred seventy-eight The Y. M. C. A. THE Y. M. C. A. virtually a new organization in the school, experi- enced rather a progressive year. Every institution and project has its obstacles and discouragements, but the Y. M. C. A. has weathered all of these. It has been the desire of the members, cabinet, and the Y as a whole to serve the men students on the campus who have entered school for the first time, help them to secure rooms and other difficulties that a new man always has. The Y is not a separate organization of the school like a fraternity, but it is an organization for all men on the campus. We sincerely hope that we can help you and you help us to make the activities of the associa- tion a big success from now on. The organization has for its cabinet the following members: E. Earl Sulteen, president; Arthur Gaffga, vice-president; Kenneth Carpen- ter, secretary ; Walter Augustine, treasurer, and D. W. Pearce, faculty adviser. Mr. Pearce is one of the most popular teachers on the campus and is able to sponsor for the association. 100 r ' r ORGANIZATIONS Three organizations have demonstrated their loyalty to the Chestnut Burr by selling annuals to 100 of their membership. They are the Delta Sigma Epsilon Gamma Tau Delta and Phi Theta Upsilon sorority. CANDIDATES FOR DEGREE SUMMER QUARTER Isabella Collins Mabel E. Reed Bess Wickert Avarilla Webster Gertrude E.

The club now consists of forty members. At Christmas time the girls presented Childe Jesus, by Clokey, assisted by the Men ' s Glee Club and Mr. Coffeen of Kent. Later they pre- sented The Lady of Shalott, by Bendall at one of the assembly programs, with Mrs. Geo. Hinds as soloist. The club is now practising Barbara Friet ' chie, by Jordan, which will be given as part of the program for Decoration Day. The Treble Clef was originally the idea of Miss Shamel. She was not only the founder of the club, but also has been its leader throughout all its activities. The success of the club is due to her influence and personality.

The men have not had the opportunity for music expression be- cause of the conflict of hours and no requirement in Music in the four- year course.

Mae Williams Special Music Group THE Kent State Special Music department seems to be as exclusively feminine as the Home Economics department for although an occa- sional male finds his way into Music 11, all those who have ventured farther are girls. The informal atmosphere of the music classes has made the room seem like a drawing room class. The drawing room part is confined to the atmosphere for at most times it seems that 14 S is the very throne room of the Great God Work. I defy anyone to look with scorn upon the study of harmony ; he need only go to a Junior Music student to be emphatically corrected. The piano work under Miss Sirdefield is most pleasant and through the effort of the teacher the girls show marked progress and become ac- quainted with the best piano compositions. The piano kindergarten work is also profitable as well as interesting. The study of orchestral instruments with Mr. Van Sickle is another phase of music study that will be of great benefit when we have to con- duct our own orchestras. Miss Shamel ' s voice work is an hour which all enjoy. Page one hundred ninety-five The Orchestra THE orchestra at Kent State this year is said to be the best the college has had for the last three or four years. Miss Shamel directs this organization which meets for practice every Wednesday. The members with the instruments played follow: Miss Sanderson, violin Miss Binning, cello Miss Bryant, violin Mr. J. Murlin, cello Miss Drew, Violin Miss E. Stoll, piano Miss Gorham, violin Mr. R. Merrell, trombone Miss Kienle, violin Mr. E. Betzer, clarinet Miss Nelson, violin Mr. C. Cunningham, drums Miss Wallace, viola Mr. H. Gifford, cornet They have played several times for the student body at assemblies and were greatly appreciated. Page one hundred ninety-six A Sea-Storm By Irwin A. Voltz THE natural things of life are always the most inspiring. Within the heart of every human being there lies an instinctive appreciation of the moods and manifestations of Nature. To this extent are men truly equal, from King to peasant, from President to farmer — there is a common understanding and kinship. It is the most pronounced proof of the God-Spirit in all of us, for when we are absorbed in the study of Nature, which is the visible side of God, our spirits are in true harmony and accord with the Infinite. Nature was wisely designed to appeal to the varied and sometimes rather discriminating temperaments of man. Some of us delight in a beautiful sunset ; others in the fascinating moon, and still others in plants and flowers or in a view of mountain peaks, valleys, rivers, lakes and for- ests. To relatively few, however, is it given to wholeheartedly enjoy the exhibition of Nature in her stormy moods. This gift of appreciation, how- ever, may be developed, for the lack of it points to the inheritance of fear to which our ancestors were subject. In the bright, blue weather of an October morning, the newly-com- missioned battleship, Tennessee, left the sheltering protection of Li ' l 01 ' New York, with her crew of fifteen hundred men and officers. The ship was scheduled to make a trial run along the coast of Maine, and most of us rookies, who had long looked forward to this experience, were filled with eager expectancy. We could not understand the blase ' attitude of the older sea-dogs. On the second day out, which was Friday, everyone was busily occu- pied with the duties of field-day. Field-day in the Navy refers to the weekly process of cleaning, scrubbing and preparation for Saturday inspection. At four o ' clock in the afternoon the bugler sounded the wel- come call of Retreat. As weather conditions indicated a rough sea for the night, the officer-of-the-day ordered all hatches secured and the boat-covers fixed in place. All these preparations were welcomed by me, for they presaged the fact that old Neptune was planning a little entertainment. Immediately after chow I slipped on my pea-jacket and slicker in preparation of spending a few hours above decks. As I made my way forward I began to notice a slight rolling of the vessel. I hurried on, for I felt that in order to thoroughly appreciate the coming storm I had to become a part of it. Reaching the forecastle deck, I was nearly blown over with the force of the rising wind. The deck was wet with the salt spray which dashed over the bow at intervals. I walked, slid, and scrambled on all fours until I had reached the very eyes of the ship. The scene here was almost startling in its contrast to the warm, ani- mated life I had left but a moment before. One could scarcely realize that within a few feet there was a small city of men, except from the occasional bits of talk or laughter which emerged from the still-open ports. Page one hundred ninety-seven But above decks there was no sign of life. It seemed as though I were the solitary rider of a monstrous sea-horse who obeyed my every will. A half-moon, rendered alternately obscure and visible by swiftly-moving masses of dense clouds, permitted an intermittent view of the heaving, restless surface of the ocean. Directly overhead I caught glimpses of a solitary star and though millions of miles separated us, I felt a close com- panionship in its presence. It too, had come forth this night from the haunts of its companions to glory in this tumult of the elements. Far off to the starboard could be seen the faint lights of scattered fishing villages and lighthouses on the coast of Maine. A few points off the port bow I could discern the mast light of a slow-moving freighter. Except for these, and the traffic lights on the war vessel, there were no other evidences to indicate the intrusion of man into this drama of Nature. The mild slap-slap of the waves had by this time been converted into a tremendous boom. The suc ceeding onslaughts of the deep increased in violence, alternately advancing to attack and receding with suppressed gurgles of chagrin, in a monotonous regularity. Though rolling and quiv- ering from these shocks, the iron horse plunged unswervingly onward. Suddenly the eerie whine of the wind about the masts was broken by an ominous silence. Then came lightning, streak after streak, cutting jagged paths of fire across the heavens. The ship staggered and shook and I was forced to grip the anchor chain by my side to save myself from being washed overboard. I was in a world of water — both sea and sky seemed determined that I should be aware of their presence. The soothing notes of tatoo, sounded by the bugler, now called me back to practical things. I had but five minutes in which to go below, swing my hammock and turn in for the night. Naval regulations permit no infraction of its rules on the flimsy plea of sentiment or communion with Nature. With a hasty Au revoir to my friend, the Storm, I scram- bled down the ladder to the quarter-deck and barely managed to crawl in- to my hammock before the master-at-arms came by on the first of his nightly rounds. Kent State ' s vista opens wide On rolling hills, and forests green And growing wealthy countryside ; On winding highways seen Between spires and chimney towers Of the towns and cities, Where a wealth of opportunity is ours, Kent State must send its teachers there With vision that can greet Their problems as they come. With grace and courage, yet discreet In wisdom, as in power gentle still Correcting wrong and guarding truth Yet spreading love, and hence, good will. From our vista may the vision Help us fulfill this mission. Page one hundred ninety-eight Our School Spirit THE most common way of hurling brick-bats at our students is to charge them with a dearth of school spirit. In fact they will accuse one another of lacking this particular school virtue. It is at the close of the pep meetings that this accusation is oftenest made. Surely no one doubts that a spirited yell by a large body of students — the right yell at the right time — is very stimulating, but there are other ways of expressing school spirit which are quite as effective and much more direct. Even in football games, where yells are much emphasized, the record which determines the real athletic standing of the school, is not made by the yells, but by the work of that muddy, bloody SILENT man who carries the ball across the other goal line. Whenever our college is in any way jeopardized, the attitude of our alumni and students is better exemplified by this self-sacrificing SILENT man than by all the roar of all the bleachers. Last October I sat with a thousand Kent State banqueters in the Hollenden Hotel in Cleveland. Not a single yell was given, though there were songs and other exercises. Certainly those privileged to see that dignified thousand, everyone bearing on his shoulders some part of the educational responsibility of the old Western Reserve, could not accuse them of lacking school spirit. I have also attended Kent State banquets in various cities where sometimes almost every teacher in the system who had been a student at Kent State even for a brief period was present to show his spirit. After these students have invested one year, two years, three years, or four years of their lives in Kent State they realize that it is to their interest to make it the greatest state teachers ' college in exist- ence. Only then will their investment bring large dividends and be profit- able. The greatest school spirit grows out of seeing the glory of alma mater and the glory of personal achievement both merged into unity. The kind of school spirit we do not have and do not want is the kind that takes up the freshman, breaks his bones, and throws him into the pond. Every freshman here is met on the first day by a Big Brother or a Big Sister on terms of sincere equality. That we lack some of the noisy expressions of school spirit is due to several causes. One of these is that many of our students, especially dur- ing the summer have already been teachers. Their burden of executive responsibility has already given them the habit of employing the intellec- tual approach to their problems instead of the emotional approach em- ployed by those who wait for college yells. Another cause is that for every student in attendance here on the hill, there is another student who is out teaching in some one of the large centers of Northeastern Ohio. He belongs to some college class which once a week meets with some Kent State teacher for a recitation. In this way he is getting an education which not only helps him with his daily tasks, but also brings him closer to his diploma or his degree. And for every student in attendance here on the hill there is still another student who is teaching out away from these centers, perhaps in the rural school of some isolated lonely valley, Page one hundred ninetij-niyie Health and Athletics THE old saying that a man is wealthier if he has good health than if he has untold wealth is certainly a true one. Because if one has all worldly goods and yet is lacking in this one of the most essential things of life, what does one really have after all? If one has never had an opportunity for developing good health be- fore, the work that one gets in college goes a long way toward that end. If one does not take advantage of the opportunities that are offered in college and public schools that go for making a better physical conditioh it is certainly his own fault if he is not healthy. Such activities as archery, swimming, speed-ball, volley-ball, soccer, hockey, tennis, scouting, and fencing develop not only the body and all its muscles and organs but also a clean and pure sense of good sportsman- ship and comradeship. They are invigorating and buoy up one ' s spirits as well as give one a good appetite. Health is a wonderful gift not to be tampered with and greater than all the wealth in the world. Kent State is endeavoring to fill this need for her students and the Physical Education department is trying to build up good health for those who do not have it and preserve it in those who are fortunate enough to possess it. This can be done by giving the girls activities which thej enjoy, and in consequence many new sports are being introduced. It is. hoped that in time every girl in the college will have participated in two or more sports during the year. and who is taking correspondence work conducted by Kent State. He spends his long, lonely winter evenings with his book and pen. In this way he, too, is getting an education which not only helps him with his daily tasks, but also brings him closer to his diploma or his degree. When these non-resident, undergraduate students, now teaching in the cities, the villages, and the rural districts, who have amid the encircling gloom of their difficult task felt the strong hand of Kent State reaching down through the Extension Work or the Correspondence Work to lift them up to the kindly light, — when these students come to Kent to do their necessary resident work and to get their hard earned but gladly- earned diplomas or degrees, they may not be able to synchronize perfectly in yelling Rah! Rah! Rah! , but they will have a deeper school spirit than any college yell can express. Page two hundred Demodee or Modern G OOD-BYE, Hester, said Gilbert softly the evening before his de- parture for college, You are my fair lady, my ideal. Will you marry me when I finish? Oh, you won ' t care for me when you know college girls. Gee, I don ' t like their type, from all I ' ve heard about them. But — and Hester hesitated, for, although she disagreed with what Gilbert said, she had been taught that it was unbecoming for a girl not to concede her opinion to the men. Then, although he longed to kiss her as she stood shyly beside him in the moonlight, he remembered that he had expressed an antipathy for girls who were romantic (and therefore he must not be), and checked the impulse. Guess I ' ll have to run along now and finish my packing. It ' s great to go ! Wish you could go, too. Well I won ' t forget you ! Be good ! Good- bye, dear Hester. I ' ll write, and he passed down the moonlit street. Oh, he ' s gone! I ' ll miss him so! He has the strongest personality of anyone I know. But he dominates me too much to suit me. If he falls for some college girl I ' ll be so mad ! Hester soliloquized to his retreating back. Oh, Mother I had a dreadful dream last night! Hester exclaimed to her mother the next morning. I dreamed that Gilbert came back with his degree and we got married. But we weren ' t happy because he wanted to boss me too much and I resolved to rebel. Then I woke up. I ' ll bet he ' d think he was lots better than I if I never went to college, too. Dad I got a letter from Gilbert already ! Hester danced delightedly into the room waving a letter. He ' s crazy about college, but he hasn ' t forgotten me yet. I ' m so thrilled! But Hester spoke too soon, for within three or four months Gilbert had evidently tired of writing and Hester did not get any more thrills. Well the Cranes are moving away from Fairlawn! remarked Mr. Thurston one night at dinner. I suppose Gilbert wrote it to you, Hetty? We don ' t correspond any more, Hester admitted in a confused voice. That ' s exactly as it would be, too, if I don ' t have a college education. The next year Gilbert ' s parents moved from Fairlawn. Hester had not seen Gilbert since the night before he left for college. He ' ll never remember me, I know, when he sees those college girls. I ' m terribly old-fashioned compared with them. I wonder if they let the fellows dominate them as they do here. The once-loved village had become very tiresome and boring to Hes- ter since Gilbert had gone, and she felt that her life was utterly wasted. Her grandfather, who had come to live with her family, noticed her dis- content and surprised every one with the declaration that he was going to send Hester to college. My old friend Markham is sending his granddaughter to college this fall and I told him I ' d like to have you go with her. Oh, grandfather, it ' s just what I ' ve been wanting so much! Page two hundred one The summer passed quickly and happily for Hester, and the time came for her departure. Her grandfather ' s friend and his grand-daugh- ter, Geraldine, arrived a day early so that the two girls might get ac- quainted before they left. Hester felt that Geraldine was her ideal — from her bright green hat to her blonde pumps. She noticed the differ- ence between their respective appearances and wished that something might be done about hers. The first days at college were not very happy for Hester. As time passed, Geraldine became aware of the contempt that their class-mates showed toward Betty, all on account of her demonde appearance. Lov- ing Betty as she did, she resolved to help her and kindly broached the sub- ject of a beauty parlor. An appointment was made with a few misgivings on Betty ' s part and soon a changed Betty emerged from the shop. The simple, old fashioned girl did not look much like the shingle-haired, per- manently-waved girl. Now for the clothes ! Geraldine exclaimed as they sauntered toward a lovely apparel shop. The ensuing weeks were an ecstacy of rapture for Hester who had never been accustomed to a great deal of admiration and attention be- fore. To the vigilant Jerry, her very personality was changing — her whole nature seemed to expand like a chrysalis which has emerged from its shell with the self-confidence and assurance her appearance gave her. She had submitted in silence to the decisions of others — now she charm- ingly but resolutely gave her opinions. She had been content to follow — now she led. She used to sit out dances but — now she had to split them among several suitors. Her grandfather sent her a two-hundred-dollar-check for Thanksgiv- ing, saying he was thankful to have such a lovely grand-daughter. Now I can have a new evening gown for the Junior Prom! One would never recognize the belle of the dance as the diffident Hes- ter of Fairlawn. During the intermission the president of the Junior class brought over a good-looking young man to Betty, Who was the center of a group of admiring sheiks. Betty, may I present Gilbert Crane? Miss Thurston, Mr. Crane. He has been wanting to meet you all evening, but you were occupied. Betty had discarded her first name and went by her middle name, Elizabeth, — and Jerry nick-named her Betty. Do you have any relatives in Fairlawn? Gilbert asked as they danced away together. I used to know a family by the surname of Thurston. Betty made some inaudible answer and Gilbert concluded that she did not. Before the evening was over, Gilbert decided that she was the most fascinating girl he had ever met, and lost no time dating her up. Betty recognized Gilbert the moment he was presented to her, but when she saw that her altered appearance prevented his knowing her, she resolved to put him to a test and ascertain whether he would fall for a Page two hundred two modern girl, since he had always expressed the greatest contempt for one, Wise Betty! As the weeks flew by, Gilbert ' s conclusion became a pleasant reality, and he felt that hours were days when he could not see her. Who says that there is not a little of Eve in every girl ' s make up? By the end of the year Gilbert was so infatuated that he proposed one en- chanting moonlight night in May. You are my fair lady, my ideal, Betty, he declared, as the canoe drifted idly. You are the fulfillment of my dreams. And he kissed her. Score two! confided Betty aloud to her image in the mirror that night. Oh, the constancy of men ! Good-byes had been said and Betty was home in Fairlawn again. Meanwhile, Gilbert ' s actions had rankled in his conscience and he felt himself to be a cad in his treatment of poor Hester, as he now termed her in his mind. But when the vision of Betty appeared to him, poor Hester was completely overshadowed. On his return from school the problem of keeping his vows to Hester perplexed him so constantly that he decided to visit her and confess every- thing, trusting to her liberality in releasing him. Forthwith, he wrote and mailed a letter saying he would arrive the following day. When she read the contents of the letter, she planned the final scene of her little drama. By George! I wish I didn ' t have to do this! Gilbert said to him- self as he walked down the familiar street. Hester is such a sweet un- suspecting girl that I hate to hurt her. Now if she were more like mod- ern girls I wouldn ' t care. But I can ' t help it — a man must be master of his own fate. She ' s all right, but lacks the speed of Betty. Hot and perspiring, he was ushered in by Hester ' s grand-father. While awaiting her, the loquacious old man entertained him, rambling on about his niece Hester. At first Gilbert paid no attention to the speaker, as he was inwardly quaking at the explanation that was forthcoming to Hester. But a sentence suddenly arrested his attention. What a change a year at college has made in my little shy Hester ! This was the first knowledge Gilbert had of Hester ' s attending col- lege, as he had not continued corresponding with her in the last two years. Glancing up, he saw a vision in the doorway. Betty! and enlightenment dawned on Gilbert at last. Laughingly Bettey replied, Which wins — the old-fashioned or the modern? Feme Strawn. Page two hundred three Another Day THERE penetrated to my innermost consciousness a sound of disas- ter, like the distant rumbling of a coming storm. I buried one ear in the pillow and put my fist on the other and slumbered for a while in tranquility. But again the disturbance of the elements troubled my sleep, I attempted to escape the inevitable by covering myself completely with the quilts, but to no avail. The terrific din seemed to be coming up the stairway and toward my room. I expected at any time to find the walls caved in upon me by the storm, or to look out and confront a monster of hideous mien. The waves of oblivion rolled from me gradually; I found myself struggling and floundering on the shores of consciousness, and from somewhere landward came a voice shouting — For the last time, I tell you, breakfast is served at once and only once. I was suddenly and com- pletely awakened. I recognized my landlady ' s voice. A glance into the brutally frank mirror which tops the desk known as a dressing table in the vocabulary of my elegant hostess, disclosed quite clearly, even to my somewhat biased perception, that I need a shave. A subsequent inspection of my Big Ben convinced me that it was an occa- sion when such formalities might better be varied. At breakfast a variety of things, peculiar to the life of a scholar, tended to distract my attention from the bacon and eggs so temptingly served by my afore-mentioned benefactor. Due to some unpremeditated events of the night before, I had prepared for neither of my morning classes. The question of which to study first, on my way to school and to class, threw me into deep introspection, until I remembered that it would be necessary for me to be absent from my second class, as I had to go to Slim ' s to obtain his dress-suit for the dance that night. It was necessary for me to go just at this time for Slim had arranged to have no classes ' til after noon, and he would just be through with his breakfast and ready to receive visitors. To go earlier would be to intrude upon his morning repast; later he would be out. So only the one period would suffice for my call. Thus it was fortunately settled that I would study for my first class, which I would have done had I not discovered that I had neglected to bring that particular book home the previous evening. Hence I rose from the breakfast table and departed unencumbered, for school, feeling a profound and scholastic joy in the beauties of a new day. By Florence Babb.
