Dancing was the chief means of entertainment during the evening. Refreshments were served and the hall was neatly decorated. The Juniors have tr.ed to keep their spirit high and have taken an active part i.i all school activities. They bought class rings and have the honor of being the first to have a ring which is to be the standard emblem of Kent State High. May the excellent work of the Juniors continue in their Senior Year. --F. Drmgler, '26.

We were no more than settled when the Juniors and Seniors decided to try our sportsmanship in an initiation. Many had to go back to childhood days, While others such as Stanley had to propose. He might do it Well enough alone but in front of a crowd he was somewhat bashful. In return for the initiation we gave a Christmas dance for the Senior High. We feel sure that We gave a good return party. During the winter months, the ice and snow being so inviting, we Sophomores planned a sleigh ride. The party ended at Betty Root's home where we had games and refreshments. We have held several successful candy sales, the proceeds of which we have used to defray our class expenses. We have been represented in all worth-while activities of State High. Our letter winners were John Mullock, in football, and Margaret Bourne, in basketball. Betty Root, Evelyn Hughes, Gladys Apley and Irene Costley all tried to the best of their ability to have a part in the Literary Contest. We are very proud of their staunch efforts. Next year we hope that with a year's experience in the Senior High we will give even the Seniors a run for their money. Watch our smoke!!! We know that this past year has been a great help to us, both in work and in play. We feel that we have accomplished many things which will aid us in uphold- ing the name of Kent State High School. -Margaret Bourne, '27. 32

THE JUNIOR HIGH Ever since the Junior High of Kent State was organized, it has flourished as an individual section with its own activities and enterprises. This year we have kept up with the times and have held many events of interest. The teachers of the subjects in the Junior High are: Mrs. Olson, principalg Miss Mabee and Miss O'Rourke. Our classes have been made interesting by fre- quent debates, organizing clubs and giving demonstrations. One of our best activities is our school paper, The Junior High Echo. It was organized three years ago and has progressed ever since. The material is furnished by the students and is printed by the printing class in the Manual Arts Building. We elect oflicers twice a year. It has helped us in our composition and is a source of interest every two weeks. . We also have many athletic activities. Mr. Harsh is our athletic instructor. Among our events is the annual basketball tournament. This was won by the ninth grade this year. ,Other athletic activities are: the annual handball tournament, the cross country run, baseball and track. Among our big entertainments of the year was the Junior High entertainments, one a musical play and one a drama. The musical play, Way Down South in Dixie, was coached by Miss Bachman. The majority of those taking part in this were blacked up, and this effect, together with the musical numbers made it Ll huge success. The drama was Grandmother's Rose Jar. This was coached by Miss O'Rourke. Many people attended these entertainments and we netted a sub- stantial profit. Of the social events of the year, the Christmas Charity party was the greatest. We had always been in the habit of having parties for ourselves, but this year we decided to give a charity party for the children of the Ravenna Detention Home. We contributed gifts and candy for them, and had a Christmas tree and a Santa Claus. All the guests enjoyed it. This event helped in our Junior Red Cross Work. All students of the Junior High are enrolled in the Jun.or Red Cross. We sent two members from each class to represent us in the spring Red Cross meeting at Ravenna. We have spent an interesting and educiational three years in the Junior High. -Clay Johnson, 9th. 31
