THE  NEW  TRAINING  SCHOOL 

During  the  winter  of  1925  the  Genei'al  Assembly  of  Ohio  appropriated  Three 
Hundred  Fifty  Thousand  Dollars  for  a  teacher-training  building  for  Kent  State  Normal 
College.  By  resolution  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  College,  the  building'  was 
named  "The  William  A.  Cluff  Teacher-Training  Building."  This  action  was  taken 
partly  in  consequence  of  Mr.  Cluff's  help  in  presenting  to  the  Legislature  the  needs 
of  the  College  and  partly  because  of  his  genuine  friendliness  for  the  Training 
School. 

The  new  building  will  probably  be  finished  some  time  during  the  month  of  May 
and  will  be  ready  for  occupancy  in  time  for  the  summer  quarter  which  opens  June 
20,  1927.  It  will  house  all  of  the  departments  of  the  training  school,  viz.  the  kinder- 
garten, the  elementary  school,  the  junior  high  school,  and  the  senior  high  school. 
The  building  is  275  feet  long  and  65  feet  wide  except  in  the  central  section  which  is 
wider.  In  addition  to  the  basement  or  ground  floor,  there  are  two  other  complete 
floors  and  a  third  one  over  the  central  part  of  the  building.  Most  of  the  ground 
floor  is  higher  than  the  grade  line  next  to  the  building. 

On  the  ground  floor  will  be  found  the  kindergarten  rooms,  the  home  economics 
department,  the  manual  arts,  locker  rooms,  showers  and  store  rooms.  The  floor  of  the 
small  gymnasium  extends  several  feet  below  the  ground  floor  level  and  thus  aff'ords 
sufficient  height  for  basket-ball. 

The  first  floor  proper  has  the  assembly  room,  one  college  recitation  room,  the 
offices,  and  class  rooms  to  accommodate  the  entire  elementary  school.  The  next 
floor  will  be  given  over  to  the  junior  and  senior  high  schools  with  the  junior  high 
school  on  the  south  end  and  the  senior  high  school  on  the  north.  The  senior  high 
school  study  room  is  in  the  central  part  of  the  building.  Special  music  and  art 
rooms  are  on  this  floor  in  the  extreme  north  end.  The  top  floor  over  the  central 
part  of  the  building  has  rooms  for  physics,  chemistry,  and  biology. 

In  the  elementary  and  junior  high  school  department  each  critic  teacher  is  to 
have  two  rooms  so  that  if  necessary  she  may  divide  her  grade  and  supervise  the 
work  of  two  student-teachers  at  the  same  time.

OUR  GRADUATES  AS  TEACHERS 

We  Americans  believe  in  education.  Our  faith  in  it  is  unquestioning.  We  be- 
lieve in  schools.  We  believe  in  schools  because  we  regard  them  as  the  strongest  safe- 
guard of  society,  as  the  best  means  of  developing  individual  personality,  as  the  surest 
way  of  enlightening  the  entire  human  race;  and  we  are  certain  that  in  them  are 
laid  the  soundest  foundations  for  national  stability. 

The  prime  factor  contributing  to  the  effectiveness  of  these  schools  is  the  teacher. 
It  is  generally  agreed  that  the  teacher  constitutes  the  heart  and  soul  of  the  school. 
To  supply  schools  with  adequately  trained  teachers  is  looked  upon  by  many  as  the 
largest  field  of  professional  service  in  America. 

Teachers  colleges  have  been  developed  as  specialized  institutions  for  the  express 
purpose  of  training  teachers.  Kent  State  College  is  classed  among  the  worthy  mem- 
bers of  this  group  of  professional  schools.  It  has  been  and  it  continues  to  be  the  aim 
at  Kent  to  maintain  a  faculty  which  shall  be  the  life  giver — the  soul  of  the  institution. 
This  group  of  teachers  must  transmit  to  the  teachers-to-be  the  ideals,  knowledge  and 
skills  which  they  in  turn  will  use  in  directing  the  children  and  adolescents  to  a  realiza- 
tion of  their  greatest  possibilities. 

Kent  State  recognizes  in  the  candidates  for  graduation  in  the  classes  of  1927 
many  of  the  native  and  acquired  qualities  that  make  for  success.  Among  these 
qualities  your  Alma  Mater  prizes  especially  worthy  character  which  gives  security 
in  every  walk  of  life;  scholarship  or  wealth  of  knowledge  which  is  the  first  essential 
in  teaching;  faith  in  education,  in  young  life,  in  humanity,  and  in  the  teaching  pro- 
fession; vision  that  looks  beyond  the  day's  routine  into  the  inclusive  life  of  society; 
fine  idealism;  and  self-control. 

These  are  the  qualities  that  have  enabled  Kent's  alumni  to  achieve  success  and  to 
gain  recognition  among  the  leaders  in  their  chosen  field.  These  same  qualities  will 
enable  the  graduates  of  succeeding  years  to  become  noble  men  and  women — teachers 
capable  of  transforming  American  youth  into  a  better  citizenship.

ADVISOR  TO  MEN 


Being  creatures  of  habit  we  are  always  the 
victims  of  customary  procedure.  Because  the 
early  schools  were  so  organized  that  military 
discipline  was  necessary  to  guarantee  existence, 
we  find  ourselves  still  thinking  of  administratioii 
in  terms  of  reward  and  punishment.  So  it  is  that 
too  often  the  student  thinks  of  the  advisor  as 
one  especially  designated  to  do  the  scolding  and 
punishing. 

At  Kent  State  we  are  organized  with  the 
thought  of  making  the  Advisor  to  Men  as  help- 
ing friend.  We  believe  that  successful  admin- 
istration must  be  based  upon  a  desire  to  give 
guidance  and  suggestion  and  carried  out  through 
democratic  cooperation  between  faculty  and 
students. 

The  oflice  of  Advisor  to  Men  gives  a  varied 
service   including — 

1.  An    attempt    to    provide    better    rooms    and 
better  rooming  conditions. 

2.  An  effort  to  arrange  part  time  employment. 
Advice  to  students  concerning  programs. 
The    giving   of   encouragement   and    inspiration    to    those    students    who    have    not 

adapted  themselves  to  new  conditions. 
Supervison  of  the  social  life  of  men  students. 

The  giving  of  aid  to  fraternal  and  other  student  organizations  in  the  conduct  of 
their  affairs. 

It  is  the  hope  of  those  directing  the  affairs  of  the  college  that  the  growth  in 
service  rendered  may  keep  pace  with  the  growth  of  the  institution  and  that  the 
idealism  of  the  typical  Kent  man  may  be  such  as  to  set  him  apart  as  a  leader  in  any 
community.

DEAN  OF  WOMEN 

OUR  COLLEGE  DAYS 

John  Ruskin  once  said:  "There  are  few 
things  more  wonderful  to  me,  than  that  old 
people  never  tell  young  ones  how  precious  their 
youth  is.  They — scarcely  ever  warn  or  watch 
them.  Remember,  then,  that  I  at  least  have 
warned  you  (young  men  and  young  women) 
that  the  happiness  of  life,  and  its  power — de- 
pend on  the  way  you  pass  your  days  now. 
They  are  not  to  be  sad  days,  far  from  that,  for 
the  first  duty  of  young  people  is  to  be  delighted 
and  delightful;  but  they  are  to  be  in  the  deepest 
sense  solemn  days." 

During  no  four  years  of  your  life  can  Ruskin's 
words  be  more  applicable  than  during  your 
college  years.  They  are  not  to  be  sad  years, 
but  years  full  of  joy — because  they  should  be 
full  of  all  good  things. 

First,   you    should   be    enjoying    robust   health. 
We  watch  and  warn,  for  >\'e  do  not  want  you  to 
learn  to  prize  your  health  through  the  sad  experience  of  losing  it.     Youth  and  health 
are  precious. 

Secondly,  you  should  rejoice  in  mental  growth.  There  should  be  joy  and  zest  in 
intellectual  attainment.  You  should  know  the  thrill  that  comes  from  performing 
perfectly  the  mental  tasks  set  for  you  in  college.  Particularly  should  you  rejoice  in 
the  hard  thinking  out  of  a  problem  to  its  logical  conclusion. 

Thirdly,  you  should  rejoice  because  these  college  years  are  afforded  you  for 
spiritual  growth.  This  does  not  mean  that  college  will  prove  to  be  a  storehouse  of 
spiritual  manna,  though  it  should  be  that  far  more  than  it  is.  But  for  the  normally 
developing  soul,  college  years  should  be  a  period  when  spiritual  problems  are  squarely 
met,  and  when  insight  and  faith  are  developed.     We  warn,  and  watch,  and  hope. 

Have  you  ever  heard  a  better  answer  to  the  question,  "Why  go  to  college  than 
this, — "We  go  to  college  to  learn  how  to  live  with  others."  College  years,  therefore, 
should  be  full  of  the  joy  of  social  contacts.  Perhaps  of  all  the  subjects  offered  in  any 
college,  the  one  not  listed  in  any  curriculum  is  most  fruitful  in  our  lives — the  study 
of  human  nature.  Alumni  generally  seem  to  prize  most  highly,  and  to  find  most  en- 
during, the  blessings  offered  during  undergraduate  days  of  acquaintanceship  and 
friendship.  If  there  is  any  other  more  valued  asset  taken  out  of  college  halls,  it  is 
the  ability  to  know  how  to  attack  a  problem.  And  here  again,  we  of  the  faculty 
stand  by,  and  with  Ruskin,  "watch  and  warn." 

Happy  are  they  who  arrive  at  the  end  of  their  college  course  with  no  regrets, 
and  who  leave  college  better  than  they  entered  it.  And  happy  is  their  Alma  Mater, 
for  she  gives  them  her  blessing  with  a  sense  of  confidence  in  their  ability  and  in 
their  spirit  to  solve  even  greater  problems  beyond  her  fair  campus.

DEPARTMENT  OF  AGRICULTURE 

L.  S.  IviNS,  Ph.  B.,  M.S.,  M.  A. 

The  school  laws  of  Ohio  require  that  agriculture 
be  taught  in  high  schools  and  elementary  schools; 
that  elementary  teachers  who  are  examined  by 
county  superintendents,  must  take  the  examination 
in  agriculture  in  order  to  teach;  and  that  Kent  Col- 
lege must  maintain  an  adequate  department  for  the 
training  of  teachers  of  Agriculture  for  the  schools 
of  the  state.  Because  of  these  laws  Kent  State  since 
it  first  opened  its  doors  has  maintained  a  Depart- 
ment of  Agriculture  for  the  complete  and  proper 
instruction  of  prospective  teachers  and  other  stu- 
dents who  desire  a  broad  and  cultural  education. 


DEPARTMENT  OF  ART 

Nina  S.  Humphrey 

"The  term  'drawing'  applies  to  only  a  small  part 
of  the  instruction  and  education  in  the  realm  of 
art  that  is  designed  to  teach  children  to  appreciate 
the  beauty  of  truth;  to  catch  the  message  from 
nature  and  from  human  life;  to  rightly  interpret 
it  and  to  express  it  in  such  a  way  as  to  give  the 
message  and  the  joy  which  accompany  it  to  others. 
This  is  the  mission  of  art." 


DEPARTMENT  OF  BIOLOGY 
Ethel  Gowans,  B.  S.,  A.  M. 

The  scope  of  biology  is  unmeasurable  and  its  prob- 
lem endless,  but  it  aims  to  teach  its  laws  in  such  a 
way  that  one  may  understand  the  meaning  of  what 
has  gone  before;  that  he  may  live  a  longer,  fuller 
and  more  purposeful  life;  that  he  may  vision  a 
brighter  and  better  future  because  the  history  of 
the  past  has  shown  that  change  is  slowly  but  pro- 
gressively towards  greater  perfection  and  beauty; 
and  that  man  is  not  the  reason  for  the  existence  of 
all  earthly  things,  but  that  he  is  greatly  honored 
by  being  one  with  all  about  him. 

(Prepared  by  Eva  N.  Spencer,  student  of  the 
Biology  Department.)

THE  DEPARTMENT  OF  COMMERCE 

Louis  A.  Bu  Damn,  M.A. 

This  is  the  newest  departmental  addition  to  the 
college.  It  was  opened  in  January,  1925  with  two 
instructors  and  an  approximate  enrollment  of  60 
students.  It  now  has  three  instructors  in  whose 
classes  there  are  enrolled  a  total  of  one  hundred 
and  sixty  students.  Its  primary  aim  is  to  prepare 
teachers  of  commercial  subjects  in  high  school  but 
it  also  offers  excellent  opportunity  to  those  students 
who  wish  training  for  commercial  or  secretarial 
positions,  or  to  those  who  may  desire  a  wider  range 
of  electives  in  their  college  work.  If  given  the 
proper  amount  of  publicity  and  provided  with 
additional  equipment  it  liids  fair  to  become  one  of 
the  major  departments  of  the  college. 


DEPARTMENT   OF   EDUCATION 

Daniel  W.  Pearce,  B.  S.,  A.  B.,  A.  M.,  Acting 

Head  of  Department 
A  department  of  Education  in  a  Teachers'  Col- 
lege should  be  the  center  about  which  all  the 
facilities  of  the  academic  departments  and  The 
School  of  Directed  Observation  and  Teaching  are 
organized.  That  is  to  say  the  Department  of  Educa- 
tion should  function  as  a  co-ordinator  and  as  an  ever 
willing  helper  in  all  efforts  directed  towards  realiz- 
ing as  fully  as  may  be  the  objective  of  such  an  in- 
stitution, namely  artistic   teachers. 


DEPARTMENT  OF  ENGLISH 

Edgar  Packard,  A.  B. 

Study  English.  It  is  the  world's  foremost  lan- 
guage. It  is  the  material  by  which  vague  subcon- 
sciousness takes  on  form  in  the  most  practical,  the 
most  philanthropic,  and  the  most  inspiring  thoughts 
now  being  produced.  It  is  the  means  of  self-ex- 
pression by  which  the  one-fifth  of  the  race  now- 
using  it  is  enabled  to  publish  four-fifths  of  all  books 
and  periodicals.  And  it  is  the  medium  of  communi- 
cation which  all  the  signaling  at  sea  and  nine- 
tenths  of  all  the  cablegrams  and  telegrams  employ. 
Study  English!

DEPARTMENT   OF  FRENCH 
Miss  Rowlan,  A.  M. 

The  aim  of  this  department  is  to  oflfer  an  oppor- 
tunity of  mastering  French  for  its  own  sake.  Here 
is  a  chance  to  lengthen  your  vision,  to  open  the  doors 
of  the  unknown.  By  much  reading  from  many 
authors  you  will  be  able  to  follow  the  thoughts  of 
the  masterminds  of  another  great  civilization.  So 
you  may  form  contacts  with  source  material,  and 
advance  to  research  work  in  history,  literature,  and 
science  as  well  as  add  to  the  pleasure  found  in 
music,  art  and  travel. 

A  key  to  a  fuller  life. 


DEPARTMENT   OF  GEOGRAPHY 
AND  GEOLOGY 

David  Olson,  M.  Sc,  A.  B. 

In  earlier  times  a  man's  area  of  relationships 
extended  but  little  beyond  his  visual  horizon.  To- 
day it  is  Earth  encompassing.  We  depend  on  and 
contribute  to  all  parts.  In  this  enterprise  we  have 
girdled  the  earth  with  rails  and  wires.  We  have 
taken  to  waters  and  the  air  and  indeed  to  the  uni- 
versal ether.  We  are  straightening  rivers,  levelling 
mountains,  extending  shorelines,  deepening  bays 
and  exploring  the  air.  We  fly  over  the  plains  and 
waters  and  have  gone  far  in  conquering  physical 
force.  Peace  and  good  will  depend  on  our  under- 
standing this  new  and  wider  sphere  of  interrela- 
tions.    Here  lies  the  field  of  geography. 


DEPARTMENT  OF  HISTORY  AND  SOCIAL 

SCIENCE 

H.  D.  Byrne,  M.  A.,  A.B. 

Every  intelligent  individual  desires  to  know  in 
somewhat  of  detail  the  story  of  the  long  journey 
of  mankind  down  through  the  millenniums  of  time. 
The  History  Department  offers  four  years  of  stand- 
ard college  history,  in  addition  to  certain  methods 
and  special  courses.  This  Department  is  also  devel- 
oping the  Social  Science  studies  in  the  field  of 
Economics,  Sociology  and  Government.  New  courses 
have  been  developed  constantly  to  take  care  of  the 
increased  demand  until  it  is  now  possible  for  the 
student  to  secure  four  years  of  work  in  these  com- 
bined fields.  Further  additions  are  planned  in  these 
subjects  for  the  ensuing  year.

DEPARTMENT    OF    HOME    ECONOMICS 

Bertha  Louise  Nixson,  B.  S. 

"No  Nation  is  any  better  than  its  homes." 
When  we  consider  that  the  fifty  per  cent  of 
children  who  never  enter  high  school  do  establish 
homes  and  found  families  that  must  be  maintained 
on  the  low  wage  scale,  we  realize  the  need  of 
stressing  home-making  in  the  elementary  and  sec- 
ondary schools  of  our  land.  The  importance  of 
applying  the  principles  of  home  economics  in  the 
lives  of  individuals  necessitates  its  being  taught  in 
correlation  with  all  other  subjects.  The  home  i.s 
the  nuclevis  from  which  springs  the  physical,  mental, 
social,  and  spiritual  life. 


DEPARTMENT  OF  KINDERGARTEN-PRIMARY 
Hazel  Swan,  B.  S. 

The  Kindergarten-Primary  Department  was  or- 
ganized in  September  with  Miss  Herman  in  charge 
of  the  work  with  the  kindergarten  children,  and 
with   Miss  Swan  in  charge  of  Teacher-training. 

The  children  attend  in  two  sections,  a  morning 
and  an  afternoon  session.  Seventy  have  been  reg- 
istered. 

The  department  is  otfering  five  courses  in  Teacher- 
training  at  present.  Recommendations  have  re- 
cently been  made  for  a  four  year  curriculum  grant- 
ing Bachelor  of  Science  Degree  and  Certificate  for 
teaching  in  Kindergarten  and  grades  one,  two  and 
three. 


THE  LIBRARY 

Margaret  Dunbar,  B.  L.,  B.  L.  S. 

A  library  is  the  scholar's  workshop;  it  is  the 
teacher's  assistant;  it  is  the  professional  man's 
outfit.  To  the  true  book  lover  it  is  much  more: 
it  is  a  paradise  of  delights  wherein  are  contained 
those  things  that  inform  the  mind,  stimulate  the 
understanding,  cultivate  the  heart,  and  uplift  the 
soul.

DEPARTMENT  OP  MATHEMATICS 

Raymond   Manchester,   A.  M.,   A.  B. 

An  ancient  philosopher,  when  asked  what  studies 
a  youth  should  pursue,  replied :  "Mathematics  and 
music — the  one  that  he  may  know  God,  the  other 
that  he  may  enjoy  man."  Centuries  have  turned 
around  the  clock  of  time  but  we  still  study  mathe- 
matics to  discover  truth  and  music  to  provide  en- 
tertainment and  inspiration.  So,  when  you  are 
weary  of  studying  opinion  and  surmise,  come  to 
room  315  for  a  study  of  the  true  laws  governing 
man   and   his  universe. 


DEPARTMENT  OF  MANUAL  TRAINING 
Clinton  Van  Deusen,  M.  E. 

Thorndike  names  three  forms  of  intelligence : 
general,  social,  and  mechanical.  The  aim  of  this 
department  is  to  develop  the  last  of  these  three  and 
to  develop  elements  of  skill  that  may  be  of  service 
later  in  the  learning  process  or  as  a  foundation  for 
later  vocational  work. 

This  form  of  intelligence  and  skills  can  best  be 
developed  thru  actual  experience  in  handwork. 
Manual  training  is  handwork  given  in  schools  for 
this  purpose. 

Much  of  this  work  may  well  be  given  in  the  ele- 
mentary school  by  the  regular  grade  room  teacher. 
It  is  for  this  reason  that  those  preparing  to  be 
grade  room  teachers   should  take  manual  training. 


DEPARTMENT    OF    MUSIC 
Grace  King,  A.  M. 

The  aim  of  music  is  to  provide  us  with  a  wise 
use  of  our  leisure  hours,  resulting  in  the  love  and 
desire  for  good  music. 

Shakespeare  has  said :  "The  man  that  hath  no 
music  in  himself  and  is  not  moved  by  sweet  sounds, 
is  fit  for  treasons,  stratagem  and  spoils.  Let  no 
such   man  be  trusted."

DEPARTMENT  OF  PHYSICAL  SCIENCES 
C.  F.  RuMOLD,  A.  B.,  LL.  B. 

The  Department  of  Physical  Sciences  offers 
courses  in  Chemistry  and  Physics  which  are  the 
equivalent  of  similar  courses  in  Colleges  and  Uni-

it  is  now  thought  of  as  the  place  where  the  officers 
and  faculty  of  the  college  can  go  for  information 
in  regard  to  many  problems.  It  is  rapidly  becom- 
ing a  research  office  investigating  problems  of 
personnel    administration.

KEN  ^    STATE 

Kent   State   College   is   set   on   a   hill, — 
To  win  to  her  door  you  must  climb  with  a  will, 
And  Kent  State  Hill  is  weariful  long, — 
Hut  we  trudge  on  together,  a  glad-hearted  throng 
Climbing  the  hill  at  Kent. 

Kent  State  portal  is  open  wide; 
You've  made  the  grade  and  you're  safe  inside;- 
There's  a  clarion  call  to  maiden  and  youth, 
For  now  is  the  time  you  begin,  in  truth. 
Climbing  the  hill  at  Kent. 

For,  hills  of  the  earth  or  hills  of  the  soul. 
It  is  all  the  same,  for  they  take  their  toll, 
One  of  the  body  and  one  of  the  mind, 
And  the  summit  is  hard  to  gain,  we  find. 
Climbing  the  hill  at  Kent. 

But  keep  a-stepping,  and  first  you   know. 
You  are  up  on  top  where  the  cool  winds  blow, 
Below,  farstretched,  lies  a  wonderful  view 
And  glad  are  the  eyes  and  the  heart  of  you 
That  vou  climbed  the  hill  at  Kent.

CHI   PI   HONORARY  JOURNALISTIC   FRATERNITY 

A  long  felt  need  at  Kent  State  College  was  met,  when  Chi  Pi  Honorary  Journalistic 
Fraternity  was  organized,  February  1,  1927.  The  purpose  of  the  organization  is  to 
bring  editors  of  the  various  publications  in  closer  touch  with  each  other,  and  to 
further  the  journalistic  work  of  the  college. 

Dr.  David  Allen  Anderson  and  Professor  Edgar  Packard  consented  to  act  as 
advisors  and  have  done  much  to  assist  in  establishing  the  fraternity. 

Charter  members  are:  Robert  Fosnight,  Editor-in-chief,  and  Helen  Blake,  Assis- 
tant Editor,  The  Chestnut  Burr,  '27;  Virginia  Webber,  Editor,  The  Kentonian,  '27; 
Alice  Muriel  Young,  Editor,  The  Kentonian,  '26;  Robert  Hall,  Department  Editor, 
The  Kentonian,  '26-'27;  Margaret  Hayes,  Editor,  The  Kent  Stater,  '26. 

The  Chi  Pi  pin  consists  of  a  key  designed  by  Robert  Hall. 

Until  such  time  as  a  Department  of  Journalism  can  be  established  at  Kent  State, 
it  is  felt  that  this  fraternity  can  play  an  active  part  in  shouldering  the  responsibilities 
of  the  various  publications.

THE  KINDERGARTEN 

The  Kindergarten  in  the  Kent  State  Training  School  is  the  only  kindergarten 
in  the  community.  This  year  the  enrollment  totaled  sixty-eight  children,  the  largest 
number  the  school  has  ever  had.  Subsequently  it  became  necessary  to  have  both  a 
morning  and  an  afternoon  kindergarten  session  in  order  to  accommodate  all  the 
children.  Bus  transportaion  is  provided  for  all  who  desire  it  at  the  nominal  fee  of 
cen  cents  per  day. 

The  kindergarten  room  is  a  large,  light,  well  ventilated  room  on  the  ground 
floor.  It  is  fully  equipped  with  the  many  and  varied  materials  of  the  kindergarten. 
In  addition  it  now  possesses  a  play  screen  and  furniture.  This  splendid  addition  was 
the  work  of  the  Kindergarten-Primary  Department  in  the  College  and  came  as  a  gift 
from  them. 

The  activities  in  the  kindergarten  include  almost  every  phase  of  subject  mat- 
ter in  the  elementary  curriculum.  However,  the  method  used  is  one  of  correlation 
of  subject  matter.  This  is  accomplished  through  individual  and  group  projects,  birth- 
day celebrations  and  excursions.  Most  of  the  projects  centered  about  Hallowe'en, 
Thanksgiving,  Christmas,  Valentines  Day,  Washington's  Birthday,  Easter,  and  the 
May  Day  Party.  Three  larger  and  more  extensive  projects  were  those  based  upon 
the  home,  the  community,  and  the  farm.  Excursions  through  the  community,  to  the 
post-office  and  to  the  farm  accompanied  the  project  work  and  were  thoroughly  enjoyed 
by  the  children.     Birthdays  and  holidays,  too,  are  celebrated  appropriately. 

The  Mothers'  Club  is  an  active  and  vitally  interested  organization  associated  wth 
and  affiliated  with  the  kindergai'ten.  The  Mothers  gather  bi-monthly  for  discussion 
of  child  problems  and  for  a  social  hour.

The  department  furnishes  musical  programs  for  chapel  exercises  during  the  year, 
and  gave  an  Operetta,  "Miss  Cherry  Blossom,"  which  was  well  attended.

THE  ORCHESTRA 

The  Orchestra  of  Kent  State  College  is  an  active  organization  that  features  in 
many  of  the  college  assemblies.  It  does  some  very  interesting  pieces  and  expects  to 
do  several  very  lovely   compositions   for   graduation. 

Miss  Grace  King,  the  director,  believes  in  giving  the  orchestra  a  chance  to  play 
many  different  types  of  music,  even  giving  it  an  opportunity  to  play  modern  and 
popular  music. 

The  orchestra  meets  twice  a  week  in  Miss  King's  room  at  seven  o'clock  on  Tuesday 
evening  and  ten  o'clock  on  Thursday  morning. 

Miss  King  spends  a  great  deal  of  time  and  thought  in  endeavoring  to  make  the 
orchestra  a  vital  force  on  the  college  campus.

DRAMATIC  CLUB 


Among  the  outstanding  and  flourishing  organizations  at  Kent  State  is  the  Velvet 
Curtain  Players.  This  club,  composed  of  thirty  members  chosen  from  the  school, 
has  been  a  live,  active,  vi'orking  body  throughout  the  year. 

With  Miss  Nellie  Herman  as  supervisor  and  faculty  adviser,  the  club  has  been 
able  to  reflect  a  type  of  vi^ork  that  is  not  only  creditable  to  itself,  but  to  the  college. 

Perhaps  its  greatest  achievement  was  the  production  of  Booth  Tarkington's 
"Ghost  Story,"  which  was  given  at  the  "Pop"  Concert.  The  play  not  only  created  great 
interest  but  revealed  the  dramatic  ability  of  the  club.  It  typified  that  spirit  of  co- 
operation which  is  necessary  for  the  production  of  every  play. 

Plans  are  being  made  for  the  Homecoming  play,  and  at  that  time  the  Velvet  Cur- 
tain Players  will  again  appear  and  demonstrate  to  the  college  its  ability  in  fostering 
and  developing  dramatics.

THE   CHESTNUT    BURR 

In  me  you  find  the  record  of  a  year 

Which  Time  has  taken  to  an  Unknown   land. 

I  keep  in  rock  the  words  you  write  on  sand 

And  writing  pass;    I  am  the  smile — the  tear — 

The  song  you  sang  one  morning  when  the  spring 

Was  fair  among  the  roses; — I  am  truth. 

My  two-edged  sword  will  clip  the  silveiy  wing 

Of  age — I  am  the  keeper  of  your  Youth. 

The  memories  which  cluster  round  the  hill. 
The  Dorm  and  walks  I  will  keep  clean  and  true. 
My  flowers  fade  not — my  sky  is  always  blue. 
In  me  is  beauty  Time  can  never  kill. 
My  voice  will  bid  life's  waning  sun  stand  still 
While  those  I  cherish  dream  old  dreams  anew.

MOST     P  O  P  IT  L  A  R     STUDENTS 

Faces  wreathed  in  smiles  would  win  first  prizes  in  most  anything,  thought  college 
students  in  selecting  Robert  Hall,  Ravenna,  and  Miss  Agnes  Quinlan,  Coshocton,  as 
the  most  popular  man  and  most  popular  woman  student  on  the  campus. 

The  contest  was  conducted  in  connection  with  the  sale  of  The  Chestnut  Burr. 
All  students  ordering  annuals  were  given  an  opportunity  to  vote  for  a  most  popular 
man  and  woman. 

Mr.  Hall  is  a  member  of  Delta  Phi  Sigma  fraternity  and  is  a  sophomore.  He 
is  a  member  of  the  editorial  staff  of  tlie  Kent  Stater  and  The  Chestnut  Burr. 

Miss  Quinlan,  besides  being  the  most  popular  girl,  is  a  senior  in  the  '27  diploma 
class,  is  a  college  cheerleader,  captain  of  a  girls'  athletic  team,  and  goes  in  for  other 
activities.  She  is  not  a  member  of  any  sorority.  She  took  first  place  in  the  contest 
in  a  field  of  "seven  opponents  who  had  sorority  affiliations. 

"Quinnie,"  is  the  most  popular  co-ed's  nickname.     Hall  goes  by  the  name  of  "Bob." 

The  two  most  popular  were  congratulated  by  hosts  of  admiring  friends  after  first 
announcement  of  the  contest  had  been  made  by  Robert  Fosnight,  editor  of  The  Chest- 
nut Burr. 

It  is  planned  to  conduct  a   similar  contest  next  year.

INTRA-FRATERNITY  COUNCIL 

With  the  organization  of  new  fraternities,  there  has  developed  a  need  for  definite 
understandings  between  them.  To  take  care  of  these  needs,  the  Intra-Fraternity 
Council  was  formed.  This,  being  its  initial  year,  it  may  seem  that  not  much  was 
accomplished  but  to  those  who  composed  it,  a  nucleus  of  an  organization  which  will 
build  for  unison  and  solidarity  among  the  fraternities,  is  very  apparent. 

To  produce  cooperation  instead  of  intrigue  and  antagonism  and  to  unite  the 
fraternal  organizations  into  a  happy  and  harmonious  family  are  the  chief  aims  of 
the  Council.  It  is  planned  by  another  year  to  establish  a  definite  system  of  pledging; 
to  encourage  "open-house"  meetings  and  to  hold  All-Fraternity  social  functions. 

Also  plans  to  promote,  through  competitive  contests,  spirit  in  scholarship  and 
athletics  are  being  formed.  Each  fraternity  has  manifested  a  fine  spirit  of  cooperation 
in  every  way,  and  by  another  year  the  Intra-Fraternity  Council  will  take  its  place 
among  the  most  valuable  organizations  of  the  college. 

There  are  at  present  three  fraternities  in  the  Council.  These,  with  their 
presidents,    are :

\\-  O  :\I  E  X  '  S     LEAGUE 

What  is  the  Women's  League?  It  is  the  one  society  in  which  evei-y  woman 
student  at  Kent  State  College  enjoys  membership.  It  has  but  one  aim!  That  is  to 
render  the  greatest  service  possible  to  all  college  women  and  to  promote  greater 
college   spirit. 

The  League  holds  a  most  prominent  place  among  the  college  organizations.  It 
is  active  along  both  social  and  educational  lines.  One  all-college  dance  is  given  every 
term  by  the  League,  and  a  tea  dance  is  held,  after  each  registration,  in  honor  of  the 
new  students.  A  reception  and  dance  in  honor  of  our  Alumni  is  given  at  "Home 
Coming"  each  year. 

This  year  the  League  is  sponsoring  a  Mothers'  and  Fathers'  Day  Celebration 
which  is  to  be  some  time  in  May.     It  is  hoped  that  this  will  become  an  annual  custom. 

In  the  way  of  educational  activity  the  League  is  responsible  for  two  or  more 
Assembly  programs  each  term,  including  the  Arbor  Day  Program  in  the  Spring. 
These  programs  are  always  of  the  most  entertaining  and  profitable  type.

The  Men's  Union  exists  for  the  purpose  of  promoting  a  closer  feeling  of  fellow- 
ship and  equality  among  the  college  men.  While  smaller  groups  are  quite  select,  the 
Union  includes  every  man,  who  by  virtue  of  his  registration,  shall  be  considered  a 
member. 

During  the  past  year,  the  Union  had  been  very  active.  In  the  fall  term,  two  gym 
parties  were  held,  in  which  the  men  students  became  assimilated  into  the  common 
group,  through  competitive  games  and  general  recreation.  In  the  winter  quarter, 
a  banquet  was  held  in  Lowry  Hall,  which  proved  to  be  by  far  the  biggest  event  of 
the  year.  The  program  was  built  around  the  general  theme,  "What  I  am  going  to 
do  for  Kent  State."  This  was  excellently  answered  by  representatives  of  the  fra- 
ternities and  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  and  by  outside  speakers,  including  President  Anderson, 
Judge  Rockwell,  County  Supt.  McDowell,  Dr.  Chandler,  Prof.  Gorman,  Mayor  W.  I. 
Harvey.  Dean  Manchester  acted  as  toastmaster  while  G.  F.  Elgin  added  "lots  of 
pep"  with  his  excellent  song  leading. 

The  Spring  affair  was  a  Men's  Union  Dance  held  in  Moulton  Hall  on  March  12, 
where  a  very  delightful  evening  was  enjoyed. 

The  Union  has  been  governed  during  the  year  by  a  board  of  five  men  chosen 
by  the  men  students  in  attendance  at  the  banquet.  These  will  function  until  a  Con- 
stitution and  By-Laws  have  been  definitely  adopted.

OFF     C  A  IM  P  U  S     W  O  INI  E  N  '  S     CLUB 

The  women  students  of  Kent  State  who  do  not  live  in  either  of  the  dormitories, 
belong-  to  the  OflF  Campus  group.  Within  this  group  is  the  Off  Campus  Women's  Club, 
which  is  a  thoroughly  organized  group.  Its  hospitality  to  new  girl  students,  and 
its  wholesome  companionship  among  all  its  members  make  it  a  real  force  for  up-lift 
at  Kent  State. 

On  each  registration  day,  the  club  gives  a  tea  to  which  all  of  the  new  off  campus 
girls  are  invited.  In  addition,  the  club  arranges,  during  the  year,  for  a  certain 
number  of  activities — mostly  social.  Certain  of  these  social  functions,  by  reason  of 
their  popularity  in  the  past,  have  now  become  annual  affairs  in  the  club  calendar; 
especially  the  Harvest  Party  in  November,  The  Pop  Entertainment  in  December,  May 
Day  Breakfast  in  the  college  woods.  The  Off  Campus  Club  Banquet  at  Home  Coming, 
and  several  specialty  club  parties  in  the  club  room. 

In  the  autumn  term.   Miss  Lois  Kestle  was  elected   president  to   serve  until  the 
midyear,  when  Miss  Alice  Elgin  succeeded  her.     Miss  Kestle's  service  to  the  club  was 
unstinted,   and   she   with   her   able   assistants   accomplished   much   for   the   club.      Miss 
Elgin's  presidency  promises  to  be  both  constructive  and  progressive. 
'"Tis  due  the  O.   C.   K.   S.   Girls 

A  tiny  bit  of  praise. 

They  help  to  boost  with  pep  and  song. 

And  Kent  State's  banners  raise. 

All  know   full   well   the   charm   they   lend, 

That  brightens  college  days, 

Then,  hurrah  for  the  Off  Campus  Girls,"

SOCIAL     SCIENCE     CLUB 

A  new  type  of  campus  organization  came  into  being  when  the  Social  Science 
CUib  reorganized,  November  18,  1926,  as  a  dinner  club,  with  a  roster  of  60  members. 
On  the  third  Thursday  of  every  month  the  members  gather  around  the  dinner  table 
to  discuss  problems  of  the  day  in  the  light  of  their  relation  to  education. 

The  officers  of  the  year  who  have  worked  under  Professor  H.  D.  Byrne  as  adviser 
are:  Russell  Woolman,  president;  Dorothea  Harris,  vice-president;  Elizabeth  Boyd, 
secretary;  Virginia  Jones,  treasurer;  Committee  chairman,  Gwendolyn  Drew,  mem- 
bership; Cletus  Scheetz,  program;  Elizabeth  Truscott,  social;  and  Margaret  Hayes, 
publicity. 

Out  of  town  speakers  were  Mr.  Paul  Packard,  Cleveland,  who  discussed  "The 
Press  and  its  Relation  to  Education"  on  January  20;  and  Mr.  W.  L.  Connor,  Director 
of  Research,  Cleveland  Public  Schools,  who  spoke  on  March  17  on  the  subject  of  the 
changing  curriculum.

Because  of  the  many  phases  of  physical  education  work  and  tlie  interest  shown  by 
different  members  of  the  department,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Oktavec  organized  a  Physical  Educa- 
tion Club,  inviting  as  members  those  students  from  the  department  who  seemed  most 
interested. 

Discussions  and  debates  have  been  held  concerning  various  subjects,  such  as 
"Formal  versus  Informal  Physical  Education"  and  other  problems  arising  in  teaching. 

It  is  hoped  that  the  Club  will  prove  a  permanent  oi'ganization  in  this  department.

BUCCANEER     AND     IMUSKETEER     ACTIVITIES 

Buccaneer!  Musketeer!  Names  that  have  emblazoned  themselves  on  the  halls  of 
Kent  State  College  as  symbolizing  all  that  is  finest  and  most  loyal  in  women's  extra- 
curricular activities.  May  this  spirit  that  has  grown  from  small  beginnings  not  depart 
with  the  graduates  of  this  year,  but  linger  to  battle  with  the  rookies  of  the  future. 

For  the  bold  Buccaneer  and  the  gallant  Musketeer  were  each  once  but  an  idea  the 
possibilities  of  which  four  people  pondered  over  one  December  day  of  192.5. 

"What  do  you  think  of  it?"  the  Field  Marshall  leaned  back  in  his  chair  and 
glanced  inquiringly  through  the  dusk  at  the  Admiral  and  the  General. 

These  two  worthy  officers  looked  at  each  other  and  then  at  the  Commander-in- 
Chief. 

"Can  it  be  done?"  they  parried. 

"The  girls  must  answer  that"  came  the  reply.  "If  they  have  spirit,  loyalty  and  a 
love  of  the  game,  it  can  be  done." 

So  the  plans  laid  in  a  small  office  in  Wills  Gymnasium  were  launched  with  the 
new  year.  Henrietta  Strayer,  in  the  arrogant  costume  of  a  pirate  king,  and  Helen 
Blake,  in  the  swaggering  uniform  of  a  Musketeer,  stormed  Assembly  one  January 
morning  in  1926,  and  explained  the  scheme.  As  they  had  hoped  this  surprise  attack 
brought  in  many  captives,  and  it  was  two  well-matched  teams  that  met  in  an  affair 
of  arms  at  the  first  tournament. 

Could  it  be  done?  Girls  who  had  never  felt  the  burn  of  the  floor  on  a  tender  knee 
soon  became  plucky  basketeers.  Others  whose  only  knowledge  of  tennis  had  been 
that  of  the  sport  costume  necessary  when  viewing  a  set,  rose  at  four  in  the  morning 
to  practice  on  the  dew-soaked  courts. 

Loyal  support,  too,  came  from  the  faculty  members  who  willingly  and  enthusi- 
astically turned  out  to  referee  the  field  meets. 

The  hours  of  untiring  labor,  advice  and  life  itself  that  Professor  and  Mrs.  Frank 
L.  Oktavec  have  put  into  the  B.  and  M.  project  are  beyond  the  measure  of  words. 
They  have  woven  themselves  into  the  very  fibre  of  the  teams. 

It  was  not  until  the  fall  term  of  1926  that  the  activities  went  outside  the  realm 
of  sport,  and  embraced  all  women's  activities,  elected  honors,  health  and  studies, 
with  a  "K"  as  the  insignia  of  the  all  around  Kent  State  woman. 

A  committee  of  ten  elected  that  the  Buccaneer  man-o'-war  be  steered  by  Edna 
Tarr,  and  that  Musketeer  tactics  be  directed  by  Gwendolyn  Drew.  These  officers 
have  shown  themselves  to  be  gallant  leaders,  and  their  warriors  have  fought  nobly. 

Whether  or  not  she  has  reached  the  final  achievement  of  a  "K",  all  hail  to  the 
Buccaneer  and  the  Musketeer!

A  "K"  Girl  is  an  ideal  college  representative.  She  will  leave  the  portals  of  the 
institution  that  has  nurtured  her  destined  to  be  a  perfect  human  being — ready  in 
vision,  in  knowledge,  in  health  and  in  social  adaptability  to  meet  life.  In  awarding 
her  the  letter  of  her  Alma  Mater,  her  happy  mentors  are  merely  symbolizing  their 
awareness  of  her  magnitude.  They  are  acknowledging  and  proclaming  that  she  has 
voluntarily  assimilated  all  the  big  things  Kent  State  College  has  offered.  She  has 
participated  in  college  outside  school  activities  that  have  culminated  in  giving  life 
to  what  may  have  been  only  unspeaking  walls  and  in  giving  her  experiences  in  fields 
only  indirectly  related  to  her  particular  profession;  she  has  delved  into  her  studies 
with  a  desire  to  grasp  all  the  truths  and  gathered  all  the  material  essential  for 
a  teacher  of  wisdom  and  a  person  influential  in  any  phase  of  life;  she  has  striven 
for  the  maximum  of  health,  knowing  that  only  with  a  strong  machine  could  she  produce 
her  maximum  as  a  teacher  and  as  a  member  of  society. 
To  the  "K"  Girl: 

CONGRATULATIONS!  And— when  in  the  world  where  material  awards  for 
greatness  are  not  always  given,  will  you  recall  your  "K",  the  award  of  your  college 
days,  and  revive  the  urge  that  prompted  you  then.

WILLS   GYMNASIUM 

Kent  State  College  has  one  of  the  finest  gymnasiums  in  the  state  of  Ohio.  There 
is  hardly  a  day  goes  by  without  finding  it  crowded  to  its  limits.  When  other  colleges 
visit  Kent  to  play  either  a  football  or  basketball  game,  everyone  is  interested  in  the 
gymnasium.  During  the  last  year  three  high  school  basketball  tournaments  were 
held  in  Wills  Gymnasium.  There  is  ample  space  in  the  gymnasium  to  seat  thousands 
of  spectators  and  enough  playing  space  to  allow  three  games  to  be  played  at  once. 

In  the  basement  of  the  building  is  one  of  the  finest  swimming  pools  one  could 
desire.     The  pool  is  under  direction  of  Mrs.  E.  Irwin  and  is  in  constant  use.

FOOTBALL     SEASON 

WITTENBERG 

Aftei'  two  weeks  of  hard  training  the  Kent  team  journeyed  to  Springfield  to  meet 
one  of  the  strongest  teams  in  the  State,  Wittenberg,  where  defeat  was  met  with 
a  score  of  27-0.  With  only  18  men  on  the  squad,  the  Silver  Foxes  fought  every 
minute  of  the  game  and  went  down  to  noble  defeat. 

When  West  Liberty  brought  a  team  to  Rockwell  field  more  men  were  back,  and 
many  nights  had  been  spent  in  practice  to  meet  the  team  whom  Kent  had  de- 
feated in  1925,  7-6. 

Overconfidence  resulting  from  the  splendid  showing  at  Springfield,  and  too  much 
Potts  gave  the  second  game   to  West  Liberty  25-2. 

HEIDELBERG 

In  the  second  Ohio  Conference  game  of  the  year  Kent  received  another  setback 
25-0.  In  this  game  Captain  Don  Menough  was  injured  in  the  first  quarter,  and 
taken  out  until  the  end  of  the  season. 

ASHLAND 

Unable  to  score  a  victory  thus  far,  the  team  went  south  to  Ashland  to  play 
before  a  large  Homecoming  crowd  with  determination  to  win.  Ashland,  however, 
had  its  best  team  in  years,  and  the  Blue  and  Gold  wilted  before  a  score  of  55-0. 

EDINBORO 

Not  discouraged  from  previous  showings,  Kent  State  met  her  old  rival,  Edinboro, 
on  Rockwell  field  and  won  the  first  victory  of  1926,  12-0.  The  game  was  fought  out 
on  a  water-soaked  gridiron,  and  the  first  touchdown  of  the  year  was  scored  by 
Schwartz.     All  the  men  played  a  fine  game. 

FINDLAY 

With  memories  of  a  12-0  defeat  of  last  year  the  team  went  after  the  scalp  of 
Findlay  College.  After  out-playing  their  opponents  for  three  quarters,  Kent's 
defense  weakened,  and  Findlay  scored  a  touchdown  and  kicked  goal  to  a  7-6  verdict. 

INDIANA 

As  usual  Indiana  Normal  came  to  Kent  loaded,  and  took  away  a  score  of  23-0. 
The  game  was  played  before  a  large  and  enthusiastic  crowd,  but  Wagoner's  men 
seemed  to  lack  the  fight  possessed  by  Indiana. 

WILMINGTON 

Last  of  the  year  the  greatest  game  of  football  ever  played  on  Rockwell  field  found 
Kent  State  a  winner,  15-14  over  Wilmington  College.  The  game  was  thrilling 
throughout.  Wilmington  scored  two  touchdowns  in  the  first  period,  but  Kent  did  not 
give  up.  Searle  and  Schwartz  came  back  and  carried  the  ball  over  for  touchdowns, 
but  missed  the  kick.  This  gave  Wilmington  a  14-12  lead.  With  one  minute  to  play 
Joe  DeLeone  made  a  perfect  dropkick  and  won  the  game.  It  was  a  fitting  ending  for 
the  season.

THE 


ASKETBALL     SEASON 


The  1926-27  Basketball  season  was  the  most  successful  one  completed  by  a  Kent 
State  team  for  many  years.  Although  playing  one  of  the  stiffest  schedules  ever 
attempted  by  a  "Silver  Fox"  team,  Kent  managed  to  hold  her  own  against  the  best 
in  the  Ohio  Conference. 

The  game  with  Aicron  University  made  Kent  stand  out  better  than  any  other. 
The  Zippers  who  were  leading  the  Ohio  Conference  came  to  Kent  expecting  an  easy 
game — but  Kent  State  was  set  for  them  and  downed  Akron  23-21  in  the  best  game 
ever  staged  in  Wills  Gymnasium.  Every  player  who  participated  in  the  game  was 
responsible  for  the  victory.  Other  Ohio  Conference  teams  Kent  played  were  Mount 
Union,  Case,  Baldwin-Wallace,  Hiram,  and  Kenyon. 

Of  the  seven  men  who  won  letters  this  year  only  one,  Gus  Peterka,  who  has  played 
four  years  of  basketball  for  Kent  State  is  lost  through  graduation.  The  prospects 
of  a  winning  team  next  year  are  very  favorable,  as  McDermott,  Vair,  Curtiss,  Graber, 
Searle,  DeLeone,  Whyte,  and  Henly  will  be  back  besides  a  wealth  of  material  from  the 
Freshman  Class.

BASEBALL  SEASON 

With  the  first  game  a  3-1  victory  over  Ashland,  the  1926  baseball  team  started 
the  season  with  a  bang.  The  boys  displayed  an  ability  to  hit  as  well  as  to  field.  After 
copping  the  first  game,  Wagoner's  men  met  Baldwin-Wallace  before  a  large  home- 
coming crowd,  and  by  last  inning  rallies  nosed  out  B-W,  5-4  in  ten  innings.  Hallahan's 
single,  with  two  men  on  base,  gave  Kent  its  second  straight  win.  Much  credit  was 
due  to  Captain  Youngen's  splendid  pitching.  In  the  next  game  Kent  walloped  Thiel 
16-2  in  an  uninteresting  game.  The  trip  to  Slippery  Rock  gave  Kent  her  fourth 
straight  victory.  Glass  was  in  rare  form  and  gave  Slippery  a  few  scattered  hits. 
The  final  score  was  11-7  in  favor  of  Kent.  The  next  day  Coach  Wagoner  and  his  men 
traveled  to  Ashland  to  play  a  return  game.  The  team  went  on  a  hitting  spree  to 
capture  the  fifth  straight  win  of  the  season,  5-4.  This  ended  the  season  and  Kent, 
for  the  first  time,  had  come  through  a  season  unbeaten. 

The  1927  season  is  barely  under  way  as  this  is  written,  so  it  is  difficult  to  say  what 
to  expect.     Practice  started  late  in  March.     The  letter  men  to  report  were:   Graber. 
Feeley,    Polen,    and    Curtiss.      Besides    these    men    McDermott,    DeLeone,    Williamson, 
Miller,  and  several  others  are  out  for  the  squad. 
The  schedule  for  1927— 

April  28    Western   Reserve  at  Kent. 

May     5    Western  Reserve  at  Cleveland. 

May     7    Ashland    at    Ashland.

THE   1926  TENNIS  SEASON 

Top  row,  left  to  right:  Deakins,  Dunn,  Smith,  Coach,  Wagoner. 
Bottom  row:   Jacobs,  Line,  Brown. 

The  1926  tennis  season  was  the  most  successful  in  several  years.  Although 
she  did  not  win  many  matches,  Kent  State  always  gave  her  opponents  a  hard  fight. 
Jacobs  was  the  only  squad  member  to  win  all  his  matches,  and  his  playing  was 
never  off  form. 

At  the  close  of  the  season  letters  were  awarded  to  Deakins,  Smith,  Jacobs,  Line, 
and  Brown. 

Because  of  a  recent  ruling  made  by  the  Athletic  Board,  there  will  be  no  tennis 
team  on  the  campus  this  year.

Kent  State  High  ended  a  very  successful  Basketball  year  by  winning  the  State 
Class  "B"  Championship,  Mai'ch  eighteenth  and  nineteenth  at  Columbus,  Ohio.  They 
started  their  successful  season  by  winning  a  first  place  in  the  Trolley  League,  then 
they  entered  the  State  Sectional  Tournament  held  in  Wills  Gymnasium;  they  came 
through  this  on  top,  winning  by  wide  margins.  This  victory  gave  the  "Blue  Devils" 
the  right  to  enter  the  State  District  Tournament  held  in  the  Goodyear  Gymnasium, 
Akron,  Ohio.  A  first  place  in  this  tourney  gave  them  a  ticket  to  Columbus  to  enter 
the  State  Class  "B"  Tournament  held  in  the  Coliseum.  Here  they  met  real  opposition 
but  were  not  stopped.  They  won  three  games  in  great  style,  defeating  Oberlin  High, 
last  year's  State  Champion. 

"Our  Champs"  played  a  total  of  twenty-one  games  this  year  and  lost  four.  They 
will  lose  three  of  the  eight  men  but  still  have  five  left  for  the  coming  season.  From 
this  it  is  judged  that  next  season  should  be  as  successful  as  this. 

State  High  School  proudly  possesses  four  first  place  trophies  won  by  the  team,  and 
one,  won  by  the  school  itself,  knovra  as  the  "Sportsmanship  Cup."
