Their Problems Are His . . . Through the years students of KSU have looked upon Raymond Manchester, dean of men, as a sec- ond father. Their problems are his and his time is theirs. Counsellor, teacher, author, mathe- matician, sportsman; he is each one of these. Work is pleasure to him. A part of the Univer- sity since 1920, the past holds a host of mem- ories for the dean and he feels that the future will bring even greater ones. ' ik Wc • d ■ Mfcalf 1 lilllBf ' t An Ambition Fulfilled The Story Is Complete From grade school teacher, to high school instructor, to associate college professor, to Dean of Edu- cation at Kent State University; this is the success story of Robert I. White. Considering that his ambition always was to be a teacher, this is not an unusual tale. Now a busy college dean, he only wishes he had more time to do some actual teaching. Give a man a spade and seeds, a plot of land to farm and he is contented. Also give him books and students to teach and that is the complete story of Raymond Clark, graduate school dean. Since Dean Clark came to KSU in 1926 he has seen its growth in students, buildings and equipment. In 1947 he saw Kent ' s first graduate school es- tablished and became its first dean. 19

They Really Have It! Along with the spirit that accompanies a football game is that enthusiasm shown when the Twin Marching bands come strut- ting out on the field. It seems as though a spark of pride lights up in the eyes of every Kent Stater. From its very humble beginning in 1929, this group has grown to be one of the most outstanding organizations in the school. The first marching band was started in 1 935 followed by a coed band in ' 41 . Nine- teen fifty brought the formation of the now famous Twin Marching bands. And they really have it. One can ' t help but enjoy watching them . . . enthusiasm rubs off and they certainly have plenty of it to give. Leading the high-stepping majorettes on the field for every half time show at the football games this year, sparkling Sue Ann Hurd, head majorette, added the fin- ishing touch to our Twin Marching band. Sue Ann began as a majorette when she was a sophomore at Newton Falls High School. She has been with the KSU band for three years. A member of the junior class. Sue Ann is a physical education major in the College of Education. She is a coun- selor at Moulton Hall and a member of Chi Omega sorority. Left to right ore Bill Wetshtein, John Bengham, George Fletcher and Art Getz, members of the KSU Twin Marching band. This picture was taken at the Bowling Green-Kent game as the men were critically watching the performance of the Bowling Green band during half-time before they joined our band for the KSU show. All the members of the band have not only made themselves the pride of all Kent State by the spectacular appearance they made all year, but also for the spirit they had. Bonnie Fishburn and Dwight Goodman are ready to really let out with the sweet notes. Music, however, is not the only art connected with the playing In a marching band these days. The band participant must also become a functioning member of a crack drill team which would rival the most trained band group. 21
