From the Dining Hall the average boy will head for the basement of the New Main building where he will find the Mail Room in which are located three important institutions of Kent, the mailboxes themselves, the Pop Tent, and the Athletic Store. From there he will most likely head for the Stat Store; let us follow him as he makes his rounds. Lunch consists of soup which in turn consists of anything from fish to peanut-butter, followed usually by a type of meat with vegetable accompanied by a salad. The dessert is for the most part fruit and milk is provided to wash the above meal down. After partaking of this feast, our model boy wends his way to the Mail Room.

MR. R. Although Mr. R. formally known at Raydon Rons-haugen, it new tbit year, we feel that we know him well already. His friendly manner and interest in the affairs of the school are evident. .Mr. Ronshaugen, the new chief of the scholastic side of Kent, has already-made improtemenls in the study courses, and we know that he will make many more in the years to come. He has also shown a keen interest in the extra-curricular activities at school. We only regret, Mr. R., that you didn't arrive at Kent earlier so we could have known you better. . . . and the office the student, class periods at Kent arc informal and lead to general discussions of the topics at hand. This informality is made easier by the smallness of the classes, but assignments are difficult. In order to give the best preparation for college, a great deal is demanded by the Kent faculty, and a great deal is delivered. BEAR Bear Brown is one of the most popular and most able masters on the campus. His jocular Latin classes are familiar to most of us. There are few who haven’t been both fascinated and edified by Mr. Brown. Bear always has a friendly word for everyone. Who hasn’t received bis cheery hello professor?’’ Mr. Brown’s fun-loving nature and clever witticisms have become an integral part of Kent. However, be is always on hand to aid any student in need of extra help. Bear is one of those rare men who can make good education pleasant. DEAC Raconteur, mat! ematical genius, and dyed in the wool Republican, that’s Deac. Deac Anders has not only the foregoing qualifications but also manages to expound the respective enigmas of Physics and Sixth Form math. Familiar indeed is his outraged Hell’s Bells, Arabella!” when some unwitting blunderer goes astray. We will none of us forget Dene’s fascinating stories told in a growling bass. As for his politics, the G.O.P. would be in a sad way were it not for Mr. Anders. Added to bis list of accomplishments, he is also a league football coach. We’re thankful we didn’t miss Deac.

THE DINING HALL AND KITCHEN AT LUNCH the mail box to which he has been assigned and making sure that it is empty he feverishly asks of Morg Coleman, the proprietor, whether or not all the mail has been distributed. If the answer is yes, and it usually is, our boy moves himself to the Pop Tent where he is confronted by Jeff Lockhart who is perpetually trying to sell his wares which consist of soft drinks, any kind of candy you can think of, and complete outfits for any sport ranging in variety from football to chess. Let us say that the scholar we arc following satisfies himself with two boxes of Junior Mints, a popular sort of candy sold at the Pop Tent, and wends his way toward the Stat Store, located in the Auditorium building. On his way out the door of the Mail Room, he espies the barber’s list where those wishing to be trimmed must sign their names and arrange for an appointment with Mr. Colctti, the barber. Realizing that it has been three months since last he was clipped, he signs his name up for a time that will force him to leave Sacred Studies early. Now he is off to the Stat Store where he will attempt to purchase a couple of pads of theme paper. After descending the West stairwell of the Auditorium building, he takes his place behind an eager mob to await his turn. Finally, upon reaching the cage behind which he can see the articles for which he has waited so patiently, he obtains his paper and then stops to ask himself what article would be useful to him in the near future. After deliberating for a quick five minutes under the evil eye of Dick Boyd, the manager, he decides he is satisfied and pays with a check carefully stamped in ink with his cognomen. While our scholar has been doing all these things, others have been hurrying about the school performing other duties. Some must go to the Mullenhaucr region of the New Main Building in order to collect their weekly laundry. Some arc still working on their steady kitchen jobs; still others arc taking advantage of the brief interlude in the day’s activities to sack out. A few of the more scholarly individuals arc studying. Finally the bell for Fifth Period sounds and all must pick the sleep out of their eyes and hurry off to class.
