That is precisely what we have tried to do. Instead of finding a standard style yearbook you will find what we bravely call a record of events. Of course, it is not complete. To include every event would have been prohibitive because of space and expense. Some came too late in the year for us to cover and still deliver the book to you before school closed. We began at the beginning of the fall semester and con- tinued straight through to graduation. We tried to connect the various institutions and organizations in the University to some event with which they were associated during the year in order to give the book more life. At the end of each month's events we have used a column to record the things to which we could not give regular coverage. Undoubtedly seme of you will not like the book. We expect it. We hope, however, that others of you will. We did what we could and now it is yours . 2 • d^ndiex REGISTRATION 8 FRESHMEN 9 INAUGURAL 16 FACULTY 22 HOMECOMING 28 FOOTBALL 30 THEATRE 40 FRATERN ITI ES 44 MUSIC 68 ORGANIZATIONS 74 KENT STATER 1 00 DUCHESS 1 04 BASKETBALL 1 06 WRESTLI NG 110 SHORT COURSE 1 20 SOPHOMORES 1 26 JUNIORS 132 MISS KENT STATE 138 CAMPUS N ITE 1 40 SENIORS 142 BURR 152 • 3 4 • Administration Building • 5 Science Hall Library 6 • Merrill Hall Training Schoo • 7 eauttatian. Registration in the fall of this school year brought the largest single enrollment in the history of the University, with a final enroll- ment figure of 2,410—as compared to slight- ly more than 2,100 for the preceding year. The percentage of enrollment increase for this University this year was greater than that of any other state university in Ohio. Previous to registration there had been some doubt as to increase because of the teaching requirement change affecting the two-year education course, which had attractea more than 200 freshmen the previous year. The freshman class this year was the larg- est in the University's history. it included 1,126 students. Five hundred and fifty-nine freshmen enrolled in the four-year education course, 26 in the two-year course, 321 in liberal arts and 220 in business administra- tion. There were 679 sophomores: 275 in four- year education, 207 in two-year education, 104 in liberal arts and 93 in business admin- istration. Of the 257 juniors enrolled, 180 were in education, 41 in liberal arts and 37 in business administration. The 217 seniors were divided as follows: education, 132; arts, 56; business administration 28. The remainder of the enrollment included 28 ^aduate students, 31 special students and 72 unclassified students. The enrollment was drown from 1 states and Ohio. 8 • Fresh man Cla ss Left to right: Bill Gilronan, president; Winifred Whiteside, secretary; Bill Mclntyre, treas. Because they are the newcomers on the campus and because they outnumbered every other class, we'll start off with the 1,126 freshmen, who came to Kent last fall. After they got used to the immensity of the place they replaced high school badges with the Kent emblem and entered wholeheartedly in- to the swing of politics, queen elections, Greeks, athletics, Brady sitting and that age old game of campusing. They climaxed their year with the Freshman dance held on Friday, March 31. • 9 ^^ Ei.

With Mrs. Grace Ross, director of resi- dences, OS housemother, the Hall offers 133 single rooms, 46 doubles and one triple. In addition there is a spacious lounge where Hall residents play the radio, phonograph, piano and let their dates wait for them. On each floor is a kitchenette complete with stove and refrigerator where the girls prepare Sunday night snacks. A roof garden off the second floor includes fireplaces for open-air cooking. Engleman Hall is an organization in itself and the girls are self-governed. Present of- ficers include Donna Happoldt, pres.; Sheila Easterbrook, sec; Lillian Zimmerman, treas.; Billie Beidler, Janice Hunker, Lorena Hoskins, Adele Singley, v. presidents. Besides officers there are committees, most official of which is the discipline committee, which decides punishments for girls who break dormitory rules. 12 • First picture, first row, left to right: Elizabeth Laur- enson, Margaret Clark, Jessie Laurenson, Evelyn Turner, Harriet Eshelman, Edith Gerjoch, Anita Totten, Mae Lorah, Frances Smith; second row: Rose- mary Dempsey, Ruth Mattis, Reita Mehlenbacher, Eloise Hewitt, Martha Stephens, Gertrude Stevens, Janet Nason, Mary Knouff, Helen Heinz; third row: Mary Vlad, Marjorie Miller, Phyllis Steele, Mary Ellen Gockstetter, Genevieve Miller, Patricia Levine, June Caldwell, Lyndal Close, Rosalie Jeffrey, Dorothy Struble, Rosemary Onliger, Minnie Armeli, Helen Walker, Marian Hogon, Josephine Porter.

At this time the 300 women who attended the event saw clothes for all occasions modeled by Marge Hunt, Shirley East, Reita Mehlenbacher, Gene Gettrust, J J. White, Diana Adams, Sylvia Reiss, Ruth Lea and Elaine Lattin. The high light of the affair was Gene Gettrust's black taffeta formal of the late 19th century.
