dwindled to just under two hxindred. Those names and others will not join us in that aca- demic procession across the campus in June but we shall be thinking of them, whether they be in England, or India, or the Aleutians. We will remember all the good times we had when we were still the largest class and some- day at that long awaited homecoming we will see them all again. PERSONALITIES JHIS year the Chestnut Burr has selected twelve people, each for a particular reason, a very definite part of the Kent scene. We salute: Peggy Curry, for her never ending enthusi- asm for everything she undertakes, and because she is a house guest at the White House or a hostess to a group of refugee students with equal ease . . . and best of all for the confidence she inspires in the future of Kent State. Arline Riggle, in appreciation of the hours spent back stage building the scenery that others took the bows before. Whether in front of the footlights or back stage was be- cause she loved the theater, not personal glory. Johnny Proctor, first for his inspirational speech given Brotherhood Week, and again for the many little things he did for us at Russ (are you twenty-one?) O ' Conke ' s Deck. Fran Murphey, with her ancient model of a Speed Graphic always looking the part of a journalist and worrying because some fresh- man wondered if she went to school here. Don Kemp, because as must all would be Winchell ' s, he had to take a lot of criticism, and because he took it so well. Don Wargowsky — his always happy smile that makes others feel that way too. His lead- ership that has given him so many positions of responsibility. Marilou Sowash for much of the credit for the work the assembly committee has done this year, and the initiative she has shown as student chairman. Martha Jean Lauderbaugh because she is another who works hard and lets another take the spothght for it. She thinks of others than herself, always. Phil Rubin and cameras were on the spot to cover every dance and social event with film and flashgun, and his supreme confidence in his ability to surpass even the experts. The Team of Haines and Greenbaum always on hand to do an act to give sparkle to any type program . . . from slapstick to Shake- speare. Al Annadonna for his friendly smile and his work on Men ' s Union, for trying to keep the men together in a difficult time. 15
