In these pages we have endeavored to portray the student life and activities of the College, which we trust will be of interest to each and all. We publish this book for the students as a memento of College days; for the alumni and friends of the College, with a sincere desire to interest them in Old C. C.” and to aid her in her onwaid and upward way. Wc wish here to thank all those who have assisted in the publication of this book. I o F. F. Marshall, who assisted in the artist work; to Joseph A. Finney, ‘06. alumni editor, and to Prof. F. A. Jurkat. who rendered valuable assistance in the correction of the proofs, we are especially grateful. lastly we wish to acknowledge our indebtedness to our advertisers who have aided us in a very substantial way. l et every student show their appre- ciation by patronising them. We have done our best to create a greater interest in Old C. C. and with that object in view we have given you the Cedrus. In conclusion we will be profoundly grateful for its cordial reception. 4 R. Cecil Burns Business Manager and Pictorial Editor Ralph S. Elder Editor-in-Chief OrLAND M. Ritchie Literary Editor 1). Linton Doherty Artist 5 Cedarville College EDARVILLE COLLEGE was founded with the sublime object in view of advancing the interests of God on earth. I he training of young men for the Gospel ministry, the education of young men and women for missionary service at home and abroad, and for work as laymen in the Sabbath school and in the church, were the purpose for which it was established. The development of Christian life and character in those who should go out into the world, into business and professional circles, into the arena of public life, and into the sacred precincts of the home, and carry with them some of the splendid inspiration and lofty principles imbibed at Cedarville College, was not overlooked. 6 These noble ideals Ccdarville has. in a remarkable degree, been able, by the blessing of Almighty God. to translate into realization. Considerably over one-third of its male graduates have become Christian ministers, and many of them are doing a great work for the Master. A goodly little band of foreign missionaries have gone out into the field as a nucleus for the many more who arc yet to follow. Even more than the combined numbers of these two classes, are those in the ranks of teachers, whose influence for good in the lives of the rising generation is boundless. And to be counted only by the hundreds are those who have gone out. either as graduates, or with only partial courses to their credit, and have enriched with consecrated lives, the communities and congregations, as well as the business, professional, and social groups to which they belong, and whose characters bear testimony to the loyalty of Cedarville College to her King. In fact the College itself has been directly engaged in doing a missionary work of no mean significance. In many cases young men and young women can point to their sojourn within the walls of old Ccdarville as a period of real regeneration, when a new word with its opportunities and possibilities burst upon them, and there dawned within their minds the significance and value of their own lives to satisfy the world's need. Nav more, whole families have been lifted to a higher plane of existence and usefulness through the leavening influence of a boy or a girl sent to Ccdarville College. As a distinctively Christian College. Ccdarville rejects materialistic views of life and is boldly idealistic. It emphasizes the necessity for vision, service, character. Students are taught to see the invisible, the higher spiritual realities that are concealed from eyes waxed dull and gross from viewing worldly vanities. I o see the King in all His beauty, to see themselves as His children, to see the world in its need, is the first duty of the true Ccdarville student. Then comes the service to meet that need. Not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give their lives to the good of their fellowmen. is the aim set before the youthful and ambitious hearts. Not many Cedarville graduates will be millionaires, but many, many will lay up treasures above. That the students may be trained for efficient service, to be workmen not needing to be ashamed, opportunity is afforded them for acquiring knowledge, for developing and increasing their powers of body. mind, and spirit, and for becoming skillful in the application of knowledge and power. But character is the supreme aim of the College: not merely good moral character, but that which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God; character patterned after our great Example. Jesus Christ. This paramount principle permeates every depart- ment. from those of Bible, apologetics, missions, ethics, and philosophy, to those of language, history, mathematics, and natural science. The development of proper views, right feelings, and correct habits, supersedes any striving after merely mechanical excellence. Yet the work is done in such a practical and common-sense way that even lh;s finds its place, and contributes materially to the accomplishment of the predominant purpose. 7 J. H. Creswell.

C. but it can be truly said that it rank very highly in all the other characteristics that lend to make a class famous. It con- tains talent of every sort. It can perform any duty from that of translating the most difficult Greek to furnishing an orchestra for Cedar Day at Ccdarville. 1 here is no doubt that the class contains the long and lire short of everything. Of the nine members of the class of 1915. two have come from the department of music—Cres- well and Connor; the other seven—Spencer. Bird, Sterrelt. Ross, L yd, Burns, and McCorkell— have come from the collegiate department proper. I hey have majored in the departments of Chemistry, Education, Psychology, and Missions. All of the seven have taken the greater part of their work at Cedarville, and will graduate with the degree of Bachelor of Arts.' Four years ago the present Senior class. Freshman then of course, numbered sixteen. Since that time some of them hove dropped out to lake up their work at other institutions. Some have entered the teaching profession, while others graduated from Cedarville in the class of 1914. Although the class ha had these losses, it has made enough gains to moke itself representative of merit and ability. The beginning it made in the recitation rooms of Cedarville College will never be forgotten. It is scarcely necessary to say that the class of 1915 will never be forgotten by the faculty, who have labored so patiently to mold the various member into vessel of honor. The material with which they have had to work was of such a quality that they found it a delight to open their class-room doors every day and look upon the faces of the various member of this class. We as a class, wish to use a part of this space to extend our appreciation and thanks to all those who have thus helped us out of the mire of ignorance, and from whom we have received many good lessons as we trudged along through the years of our college course. However, these are not all the marks of distinction the class of 1913 ha left behind it. From the very first it has token an important part in the activities of Cedar Day. Every year the stunts pulled off by this class have taken the cake. Those who witnessed it will remember the trip taken to the Cannibal Island and the narrow o cape of our beloved history professor, and how he was rescued by a squadron of girls who to this day are listed among his ciose friend . In the visit at a Moosier school there were a number of good points for those who were considering the teaching pro- fession; and lost year the crowd was astonished by the display of the largest warship afloat, The Junior. It is thought that President Wilson will have to call this great ship into service a it is the ship of slate. Recently, it has changed its name to the Senior. That this class has furnished one of the orator for Cedar Day” will also be remembered. The oration delivered by our President. Cameron Ross, was worthy of commendation. We are sure that the eating capacity of this class at the Cedar Day picnics has never been surpassed. It ha become a law that a double portion must be placed before them, if their appetites are to be satisfied. 20 T� Cameron M. Ross. A.B. Kam Hoot” Born Cedarville, O., 1894. Graduated Ccdarville H.

Wondcringly I inquired, “And where did you come from, my little Sprite?’ “Ask no questions! was the saucy reply, “I am here for business, to see that the noble Juniors get fair play! Now, to be candid, I had not expected to extol all the viitucs of this wonderful (?) class—for truly they arc many—because, you sec, we have not yet reached the top round of the ladder and there is still just a little probability that the lofty Seniors may endeavor once more to send us into the pit of humiliation. In describing the Junior class we would note, in the first place, its position. It is composed of nine divisions—or members—two of which may be united soon, though not as a result of war.- These members arc Ada Wallace. Mary Bird, David Bradfute, Orland Ritchie, Carey Ritchie, William Hastings, Merle Rife, Paul Ramsey, and ye Historian. We are bordered on the north by the Seniors, on the cast by the Faculty, on the south by the Sophomores, on the west—well, that region is yet unexplored. Now, we take the history of the class: its accomplishments and its endeavors the last three yeais—archaeology has as yet been unable to decipher the hieroglyphics of any previous history—we find some interesting data. In the fall of 1912, twenty-four young men and maidens, just graduated from high school, entered the Freshman class. Never did a more congenial, jolly, yet stu- dious class of young people enter the college halls. Yes. the Sprite reminds me. it was the largest too. Never did trade wax so great for the baker, the pickle, and meat men as it did that year—wiener sandwiches and pickles are but a synonym for “spread. Never did Sophomores so utterly fail in an attempt to play the role of Upper Classmen. Never was Professor Jurkat’s temper so sorely tried (he is floor walker at school) and the Sprite adds, Never were teachers so well pleased with class grades.”(?) Reluctantly we grew out our Freshman togs and assumed the role of Sophomores. It sobered us somewhat to assume so dignified a name. We had to sacrifice many things; our spreads especially. There was but one the entire year, and we were permitted to have only ice cream and cake. I ast fall when the college doors swung open and we entered into our Junior year we found that the ranks had been thinned until only nine remained. May the tics of fellowship and loyalty for our college bind us together until we have finished our college course. We now wish to mention a few of the characteristics of the members of this class. Intellectually, we arc the Seven Wonders of the world with two duplications. As logicians, some of the class have no rivals. As cthicists, some have declared their inten- tion of succeeding Gregory. As scientists, one of our members is assistant professor in the science department. As mathematicians, all the mathematics that Cedarvillc College can boast of has been mastered. As students of the languages, anyone desiring a tutor in French would do well to inquire for Mcsdeinoiselles Bird and Wallace. Another member of the class converses in Egyptian. Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Spanish. German, and sometimes. English. As musicians, some of our members are quite proficient, nay. might be termed geniuses. Still another member of the class, although we have always known he expected to be an agriculturist, is making a specialty of gardening. The Sprite says he is because he has a Gardiner. I had but begun to expatiate on our athletic ability, when Nuf Sed, snapped our Sprite. As I am rather uncertain of his meaning, and fear to question him lest we lose his friendship I shall bring this history to a close. The Sprite bids you all farewell.

In answer to the call seventeen young men and women from various parts of the Buckeye and Keystone states enrolled as Freshmen. Undaunted by the threats of the Sophomores to make us enter by the side door, wear cute little green caps, and to make the feminine portion of the class wear their hair in pigtails, we soon proved that we were able to make good. And we made good in classroom, literary society and athletics. Don't you remember that the star player of the boys’ basket ball team, and the center of the girls’ team were members of this class? And then, didn’t the Elder member win a prize in the Perry Centennial contest? Some of the other members were musicians, some were readers, and the remainder, having no special talents, just filled up cracks, and cheered for the talented ones. Class spreads were never dull, for wc were a jolly bunch and we usually had plenty of Fudge. I rue we added our share to the worry of the faculty, but were usually squelched by being asked to be a little quieter, the request being accompanied, sometimes, by a sound resembling a peal of thunder, but which we learned was only Professor Jurkat’s foot rather suddenly coming down upon the floor. I wo of the members because of ill health were forced to break the ranks, but the other fifteen marched on, encouraged by the thought that some day they would be Sophomores With the opening of the next college year only seven of the fifteen came to claim that privilege. Some, having decided to take up other lines of work, arc proving their ability there just as they did in college life. Four members were added however, and. aided by these, wc are still keeping up our reputation. The captains of both basket ball teams of '15 are members of our class, as well as two forwards and a guard of the girls’ team. Nor arc we falling behind in the classroom; for with plenty of Somers.” a diligent Gardiner.” and an Elder to rule over us. we are kept in a flourishing condition, and arc ever endeavouring to make Onward, upward. our motto still. As we follow close the leading of our dear old Cedarville. 33 � 4 Back Row: Slioit. I lulchinion, Baumgardner. Duff. Clark, Graham. Lillie. Middle Row: Norlhup. McCampbcll. Shiplell.

THE members of the Freshman Class, in order to create the best of im- pressions. procure justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for a common defence against Upper Classmen, and secure the blessings of publicity to our- selves and our Alma Mater, do compile and publish these facts concerning the Class of 1918. We arc twenty-one. Among these twenty-one are some of the gayest lads and prettiest lassies, some of the best athletes and most talented musicians, some of the best orators and students, and some of the brightest heads of hair to be found in the whole college. How do we know this, and how can we prove it to the world at large ? Only a fleeting glance at the accompanying picture is needed to verify the statement that our lassies arc pretty. There are girls with blue eyes and brown eyes, with pompadour hair and with curls. 1 here arc tall girls and short girls, and girls thick and thin. There arc blondes and brunettes; certainly, girls of enough different kinds to suit anyone’s taste for beauty. 1 here is no doubt about the lads being gay. for by their ties ye shall know them ; and surely there can be none gayer than Cam’s famous pink one and Jim’s re- versible tango and purple. Then, for proof of the athletic ability of our classmen, we have only to point to the pictures of both the girls’ and boys’ teams in basket ball. In each we find the smiling countenances of four noble Freshmen, who have proven their prowess by helping to make the winning easier, or the losing harder, in the season's battles for old C. C. Does anyone doubt that we have musicians in our class? If so. let him stroll past Dr. Oglesbce’s rcside cc on Xenia Avenue some night, and listen to the happy and lilting strains of. If I were a Bird.” as the fair Helen executes them. Can he truthfully denv that tb's a� least :s a Freshman who has musical talent? Perchance on the same night the stroller may have passed McClure’s room and heard the patriotic strains of “Yankee Doodle issuing from his easement. Was not that talent also? That we have the best orators does rot need to be proven, for of the six contest- ants in the preliminary oratorical contest four were Freshmen, and to one of these first honors were awarded. The iudges who made the decision, have shown beyond a doubt, that the Frcshics excel in the speech-making ari Moreover, we ore good students. Th:s decision was not forced upen us by a few egotistical members, but bv the Prof’s” themselves. Greek and German, bv hard riding, are to us sight-reading: Latin constructions arc mere res ludiendi; English is a pleasant iuggl’no with words; and I rig—well, let 1 rig be the unknown angle. Ours is indeed a bright class but perhaps the less said about our brightness the better; for as we have heard, red-headed people are as a rule anything but slow to anger. These arc the merits with which we alone of all the classes, past or present, possess. Although we arc not conceited, but modest and humble, we feel that when 1918 goes the way of all its predecessors Ii will leave behind il Footprint� in the � and of lime; Footprint that perhap another. Sailing o'er life’ college main, A forlorn and greener brother. Seeing may take heart again. OLLEGE LIFE, to the outsider, seems much the same; but to the student five divisions are apparent. Tire first of these is the Seniors, who stroll about slowly and impressively. Everyone looks up (?) to them. Next comes the Juniors, who in former days were noted for their belligerency. The third is the “Sophs and the fourth is those, who in their own language are called Freshies,” in ours “Blowhards.” The Fifth is nostra provincia” or the preps. Our history though some- what short at present, is, we believe, destined to be synonymous with that of the nation. We were at first, perhaps, timid and bashful, but we have proved to be veritable “diamonds in the rough.” We were well instructed by the upper classmen whose advice we wisely neglected to follow. We have nearly everything except midnight botanizing parties of which we hear so much. The Juniors especially, arc famous for their analysis of tulips and daisies. Though small in numbers we have great hopes, for Great oaks from little acorns grow.” Perhaps in comparison with former classes we are as yet not especially distinguished, but we believe with Shakespeare that: There i� a lide in ihr affair� of inen, Which, taken al the flood, lend� on to forlunc, Omitted, all the voyage of their life I� bound in «hallow� and in miieric� . 38 Philosophic Reception F THE events in Ccdarville College life that are looked forward to by all old students, and ever remembered by newcomers, none perhaps are looked forward to more eagerly than the literary receptions at the beginning of the year. On September 18th, the Philosophic Literary Society held their annual reception in the Philosophic hall, which they had decorated for the occasion. The evening was spent in frolic and mirth until about ten o’clock, when the crowd was invited down- stairs to partake of a sumptuous repast. Immediately afterward, the address of welcome was given by the President and toasts were responded to by representatives from the Philadelphian society and one from the faculty. Music for the evening was furnished by Miss Helen Oglcsbcc, ‘18. Miss Mary Hastings, ‘14. and Mr. Hugh Turnbull,’12. PHILADELPHIAN RECEPTION One week after the Philosophic reception, the Philadclph’ans royally entertained the Philosophies, alumni, faculty, and friends. There were about eighty present and the evening was spent in jollity and merriment. Everyone was made to feel welcome. At ten-thirty all were invited to the lower story, where a delightful luncheon was served. Toasts were responded to by a number of the faculty, each of whom tried to outdo the other in telling funny stories. Toasts were also responded to by representatives from the Philosophic society. At a late hour all departed, grateful to the Philo’s for the entertainment of the evening. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR RECEPTION College people are all too much inclined to th'nk that church socials are rather tame affairs, but the Reform Presbyterian Christian Endeavored have proven that they are not necessarily of such a nature. The Christian Endeavor reception has come to be an annual affair. Weeks before school commences plans are made to welcome the new students and to hold a reception at the earliest date possible. That dale this year was September II. At seven o’clock the spacious church parlors were thrown open and were soon filled with a crowd of merry voung people. Games of a get-acquainted nature were played until nine-thirty. At that time all were invited to the basement to partake of the good things there provided. About eleven o’clock all departed with a feeling of gratitude and good will toward Christian Endeavor. PROFESSOR AND MRS. McCHESNEY ENTERTAIN One of the most enjoyable events of the season was the reception and supper given to the college students on the evening of November 10, by Professor and Mrs. Mc- Chcsncy. Their spacious home was thrown open and the students were made welcome. About seven-thirty the guests were invited to the dining rooms, and a delicious supper was served. Solomon (James Chcsnut, Jr.) only, and his ten wives remained behind and ate their supjrer in the sitting room. After supper the students were entertained as only Mrs. McChesncy would be capable of entertaining. At a late hour all departed grateful to Professor and Mrs. McChesncy for their hospitality. 40 HALLOWE’EN SOCIAL October 31. is a date looked forward to with eagerness and expectation by all students of C. C. This year it was the boys’ turn to act as hosts and it is no idle boast to say that they eclipsed all previous Hallowe’en socials. The Alford” was decorated to represent a moonlight scene in a cornfield. All the guests were requested to disguise themselves and the girls were shown the way to the gymnasium by means of a confetti trail. For about two hours there was much fun and mirth in trying to recognize each other. Finally the disguises were thrown off and the crowd seated. After this came a sumptuous chicken supper. Such a feed was never given before on a like occasion. Chicken, baked beans, pickles, buns, and coffee completed the menu. Orange-ade was served from an artificial spring in the center of the floor. l urlhcr entertainment was provided after supper and at a late hour the guests departed feeling that they had spent the most enjoyable evening of the season. FRESHMAN PROM.” Cedar ville, Ohio. March 13. 1915 My Dear Old Mutt”: Say, old fellow, do you know, we're mighty fortunate that we’re not Freshmen this year, and that you are equally as unfortunate that you could not be in on the Fresh- man spread given the twenty-sixth of January. You want to know how it happened, do you? Well, you see. it was this way. Ilicrc arc twenty-one Freshmen in school this year, and while they are without a doubt, made of good stuff, they, like all Fresh- men, had to be taken down a step. They got the notion into their heads that they could just clean up the floor in a basket ball game with the Upper Classmen. The Upper Classmen challenved them to play and. Frcdimanlikc. without any deliberation they promptly accepted the challenge. January 12, was the date set for the contest, and as the time drew near, you can imagine the excitement. Everybody was out that night, and the Freshmen did valiantly, but the girls were sorely defeated. The boys how- ever turned the tables on the Upper Classmen and won their game. I guess I forgot to tell you that when the challenge was made, the losers were to set up the cats to the winners. Well, when the points were added the Upper Classmen were found to be ahead, and it was up to the Freshmen to feed the rest of us. They were not the lads and lassies to back down, and on January 26. they gave us a B-I-G feed. now. I’ll tell you they did. I can’t remember just now what all we did have, but there were chicken patties and baked beans and pickles and salad and nabiscoes and gelatine and, —oh. I can’t tell you what all. now,—but I do remember that to finish up on we had some of Dr. Chesnut’s funny stories. Oh. I’ll tell you it was great. We’ll never forget it. and I only wish you could have been here, it would have done your heart good as well as your stomach. Well, as time and space are somewhat limited I will have to call a halt, so good-by. Your old pal. 41 “Benedict. v . The Match-making Mules TANDING in the doorway of his favorite club, Richard Cozens Warrington was puzzled. Not that he would admit it. Me was too proud to do that. | But Dick wondered what it all could mean. Fresh from Harvard, Dick ■ Warrington was as fine a specimen of the care-free youth as ever walked Broadway. He had been the leader of the most exclusive set at college, and now two weeks after his return to Cederton, he was the acknowledged leader of his club and the general favorite of society. Hello! Old scout! Why so glum? Cork up the sad stuff and let me treat you to a dose of billiards and good cheer. It was Arthur Denton, a chum of Dick’s. Sorry Art, old top. but I must be going. I am busy to-night. Too bad! Hope the blues aren’t fatal, responded Art cheerfully. Dick smiled as he slowly looked down at the note in his hand. I hen placing the note in his pocket, he bade a hasty good-bye and departed. Immaculate, Dick appeared to be a veritable prince of men as he descended the steps of his father’s elegant mansion, and stepped into the tonneau of his long, gray, sixty horse-power car. the pride of his heart. He seemed to be in the surroundings where one would naturally expect to find him. Deftly he started the motor car and darted off towards the home of Dr. Brownlee, whose daughter Dorothy, was one of his life-long friends. It was only a few squares to the Brownlee home, so Dick drove slowly, meanwhile heaving a sigh of satisfaction and content with all the world. Life seemed sweet to Dick. Few of its troubles had ever crossed his path. Fate had been good to him: so he mused. Thus it was. that Dick was in a particularly amiable frame of mind as he ascended the steps of the Doctor’s beautiful residence and pushed the bell. He was cordially received by Mrs. Brownlee, who had always liked Dick’s impulsiveness and warm-heartedness; and he greeted her with the boyish enthusiasm characteristic of him. They were conversing pleasantly when Dorothy entered the 43 drawing-room. She had never seemed lovelier to Dick, and as he rose to meet her his eyes betokened the homage which beauty naturally wins. After a few moments of delightful conversation Mrs. Brownlee withdrew, leaving the two eagerly relating tales of their college life and singing favorite songs. Later when Dick assayed to leave her, the beauty of the night made him feel that a few minutes in the car would be a fitting climax to the evening's delight. Dorothy readily acquiesced, and so in a few moments they were spinning along over the smooth pavements. I he moon was shining brightly and filled the night with its radiance, trans- figuring everything it touched. 1 he spell of the night held them. Neither Dorothy nor Dick spoke. Silently they went, on and on. until the open country was reached. Grand! isn’t it? said Dick, who was the first to break the silence. I ovcly. breathed Dorothy. How fine it is to live. exclaimed Dick. Dorothy's only answer was a low murmur of joy. as she turned her shining eyes to the eyes of Dick above. On the following morning Dick Warrington presented himself at the office of Dr. Brownlee in answer to his brief note. As he entered the room, a vague, unreasonable fear seemed to creep over Dick for a moment, but only for a moment. He wondered what business Dr. Brownlee could have with him. Just then the door of the inner office opened and with a word of greeting the Doctor ushered Dick into the room and requested him to be seated. For some un- accountable reason Dick preferred to stand. Dr. Brownlee said nothing. He was evidently waiting for Dick to begin. I called this morning. Doctor Brownlee, in answer to your note of yesterday. Dr. Brownlee was silent. He seemed to be study- ing Dick intently. Slowly, he scrutinized him from head to foot and back again. Dick reddened. Dr. Brownlee seemed so serious. Dick sh’ftcd about uneasily and awkwardly pushed back his hair with his hand. Richard. the Doctor began, then stopped as suddenly as he had commenced, and paced nervously to and fro. Stopping opposite Dick, he again requested him to be seated, and feeling the utter uselessness of it. Dick sat down. Dick. he said, and the familiar name from him was unusual. 1 have known vou all your life. have always been interested in you. I have watched you at work and at play and I like you Dick, always did. It just came naturally. Then four years ago you went to college. There you learned many things and formed new acquaintances and developed new ideals. Now you have returned to us. and some of us arc sorry that you went away. Dick, you aren't the boy you were four years ago and you’re not the man I want my girl to marry. Dick was stunned, for the idea that Dorothy should fail to be his had never entered his mind. With a dazed expression he looked up at the Doctor, but said not a word. The Doctor continued. Dick, you are a drone and a parasite. What work do you propose to accomplish? The world demands results, not methods, and the young man of today must produce, not promise. Until he has made good, no young man shall win my daughter’s hand. I trust that you understand. Good-by. With mingled feelings. Dick walked out of the office, stumbling blindlv down the stairs. A drone and a parasite, he repeated. Does the Doctor mean that I must toil like a slave and acquire an honest and frugal look? Am I. the son of lames War- rington. to be subject to the rule of labor? Must I give up my free time, my sports and my friends to prove to Dr. Brownlee that I am worthy of Dorothy? Dick spent the next day at the club, where his gloom became so noticeable that he was chided by his companions. He struggled and struggled in a vain effort to •14 vindicate his life to himself in the light of Dr. Brownlee’s charges. Hang it, what's the matter anyway, inquired Art not unkindly. You seem all broken up. old pal. Had a little hard luck the other day’s all. I’ll be over it in a day or two. said Dick. Slowly the inevitable made its appeal to Dick, so swallowing his pride in the best manner possible, he finally determined to prove his worth to Dr. Brownlee. He was too proud to ask his father or his father's friends for work, so seeking a paper he searched the columns for situations which an inexperienced man could fill. This one he found: WANTED—Teamsters to haul gravel at $2.00 per day. Teams supplied. Apply at office 807, Smith Bldg. Dick had been hoping to find something good. His anticipation had been raised to a high pitch and it seemed cruel that it should be dealt such a blow. “I couldn't take a job like that of course. How would it look to sec a millionaire’s son hauling gravel! He laughed bitterly at the thought. Then the night that he had taken Dorothy for the ride came to his mind and he remembered how happy he had been and how he had thought nothing could mar Dorothy' only nnswor wiim it low .1 ■„ i, imirmor of joy, iih !� «• rained her «hin uicir happiness. in oyoH 10 the eye of Dick ubove. II at once it seemed that the Warrington in him spoke and immediately he turned his steps toward the office to which he was directed by the ad. He determined to apply for the job. The application was accepted and he was instructed to walk a mile out of the city to the gravel pit where further orders awaited him. Dick walked briskly along, at times gay and at times bitter as he thought of his new venture. But his resolutions never failed. When he found the boss. Dick was given his team, a pair of mules, small, indeed, when compared with the liugc horses some of the other men were driving. They’re small, but they're all there when it comes to pulling, said the boss. They can produce, thought Dick. With surprisingly few instructions for one so ignorant of all kinds of work, Dick and his mules soon became known and respected among the men. Dick was easily able to hold his own in every experience. Thanks to his athletic habits, the soreness In his muscles disappeared after the first few days and Dick gained a faint sense of the •satisfaction to be found in honest toil. As he worked with his little mules day after •day, he was surprised at his admiration of the sturdy creatures, who were able and willing to do much more than their share of the work. I he sun beat down fiercely on the men as they worked, and except for an occasional sentence the only sound was ill at of the thump, thump of the gravel as the wagons slowly filled. By clever maneuvering and scheming Dick was able to keep his work secret from his triends. Art saw him several times and asked what he was doing, but Dick always put him off with an evasive answer. If he had only been able to see Dorothy a few limes! But no! he would show Dr. Brownlee that a man can do what he wills. In the meantime he was miserable, and it had been only two weeks since his interview with the Doctor. 45 As Dick was returning to the pit one hot July afternoon, he slopped at the entrance to get a greatly desired drink of fresh water. While there he noticed a familiar-looking automobile approaching along the road that ran north of the pit. He soon recognized it as Dr. Brownlee’s and wondered what business could bring him there. When the machine got almost opposite Dick, it suddenly dropped into a mud-hole left by a recent rain. Vainly the machine tried to proceed on its way, but it was soon evident that help from some other source would be necessary. Hie mules! Just the thing,” thought Dick. “They will pull him out in a hurry.” Hastening toward the scene of the mishap. Dick offered to assist and his offer was immediately accepted. In a short time the automobile was on solid ground once more. Dick unhitched the mules from the car and then the Doctor while thanking him for his assistance recognized him in spite of his overalls and his red bandana. Well! Well! A gravel pit’s the last place I would expect to find James War- rington’s son!” exclaimed the Doctor. Doctor Brownlee, I have accepted your terms and am now preparing myself for civil engineering and construction work by beginning at the bottom and learning to appreciate the attitude of the common laborer. These hardy little mules have taught me a lesson. I have determined that I shall succeed in my profession. Dick spoke with a new note of manliness in his voice and manner. And succeed you will, as you well deserve. responded the Doctor heartily. There is someone in the car whom you would perhaps like to see. Dick turned to the side of the machine and the joy in Dorothy’s eyes and the greeting upon her lips was an ample reward for those awful days of torture. Dorothy had heard what Dick had told her father and she understood perfectly. I shall return to work tomorrow morning.” said Dick. Oh Dick! how much we owe to those dear little mules.” Rondo Villmell. ’16” .. ? Events of Interest CEDAR DAY OUR YEARS ago the faculty decided to set apart a special day. in the spring of the year, when the community and the college could join in a good time. The first attempt was so successful that the observance of “Cedar Day is now an established custom. It is a day when the classes each perform some stunt for the amusement of spectators. The people of the community are invited to attend and are thus brought into closer touch with the college, and arc given more of an insight into our work. Last “Cedar Day. in spite of the fact that it was a disagreeable day, over three hundred were present. A sumptuous dinner was served in the gymnasium. After dinner Mr. Cameron Ross gave the “Cedar Day oration and speeches were made by representative citizens of the community. In this way “Cedar Day has become the means of greatly strengthening the bond of friendship between the college and the community. ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION For several years Ccdarvillc College has been a member of the Intercollegiate Oratorical Association and has always been represented in the Intercollegiate Contest. We have always taken a lively interest in oratory and this year there were six in the preliminary contest. Mr. Cameron McClure was the winner and ably represented Cedarville in the Intercollegiate Contest at Wittenberg College. Springfield, Ohio. THE BIBLE READING CONTEST Dr. C. M. Ritchie. Pastor of the United Presbyterian church. Clifton, Ohio, has offered prizes of three, five, and seven dollars respectively for a Bible Reading Contest. Any chapter of the Bible may be read. Usually a good deal of interest is taken in the contest. Last year fifteen participated; and. as Dr. Ritchie said, there were some in the audience who heard more of the Bible that night than they had heard or read in a year. This year the contest will be held in April, and sixteen will take part. We wish in this public way to thank Dr. Ritchie for the interest he has always manifested in our college, and also for his generous prizes. SENIOR PLAY One of the strongest attractions of Commencement week is the Class night play given by the Seniors. Several times one of Shakespeare’s plays has been given with a good degree of success. 1 he play last spring was not a production of Shakespeare’s, but a comedy entitled “The College Town.” The cast of characters consisted of twenty-four persons. The play was well given and was presented before a large audience. 48 Cedarville’s Representatives On Foreign Mission Fields a md Wnldc Hammond Gorbold Lannlnrr l.annlnK EDAR VILLE COLLEGE is proud of the men and women who are repre- senting her on the Foreign Mission field. They arc they who arc actively engaged in attending to the chief business of the church in difficult places. A life of service in the church at home among friends, amid the scenes of native land is, indeed, commendable; but to go to a strange land and labor among an un- familiar people requires grace, faith, and courage. Let honor be given to whom honor is due. Rev. Raymond Porter Gorbold. D.D., graduated from Cedarville College in 1897, and from Lane Theological Seminary in 1902. In 1903, he went to Japan under the auspices of the Presbyterian church. Dr. Wilbur Chapman, the great evang- elist. says Gorbold is the coming man in Japan. We predict shat his name will go down in history with those of Livingstone and Paton. Miss Alfaretta Hammond graduated in the class of 1903. She was appointed as a missionary to Egypt under the direction of the United Presbyterian church in 1904. She was home on a furlough in 1911, and received the Master’s degree from her Alma Mater. She is now located in Beni Sucf, Egypt, at the head of a large school for girls. Rev. William Waidc was ap honor member of the class of 1909. His theo- logical training was obtained at McCormick Seminary. Chicago, where he graduated in 1912. In the fall of that year he went to India under appointment from the Re- formed Presbyterian church, where in conjunction with Dr. John C. I aylor. he has full supervision of the work of that denomination. Miss Wilhclmina Edith Mitray-Lanning graduated in 1912. In the spring of 1914, she was united in marriage to Professor Roy A. I.aiming, who for four years had been the efficient head of the science department of Cedarville College. In the fall of the same year under appointment by the Presbyterian church. Professor and Mrs. I anning went to Tcng-Chow Fu. Shantung province. North China. The Foreign Mission Board of llie Reformed Freshylerian Clwrch can use more men and women. Who will offer ihcir services? 40 DOMESTIC SCIENCE STUDENTS Standing: Tcwruley. Holliday. Tarbox. Murdock. McMillan. Burn� . Collin� . Dean. Baumgardner. Sitting: Boyd. Giindlc. Lillie, Crcrwcll, Bradlutc. The Domestic Science Class NYONE paying a visit to the basement rooms of the library on any Tuesday afternoon between the hours of three-thirty and five-thirty would find the less T vacillating members of the above-pictured Domestic Science class more or less absorbed in the construction of garments in various stages of completion. There on the left hand side as one enters the room is Eva Townsley, carefully measuring plaits with unrelenting accuracy. Near her is Ellen I arbox. just finishing an apron so that she may learn to ply the shuttle. Donna Burns, with thread stretched taut between the forefinger and the thumb, and with the shuttle poised at an angle of forty-five degrees, is about to make the fatal thrust. One can hear her mutter. Is it above or below this time? On around the irregular circle formed about the sewing table is a chain of busy girls: Cornelia Bradfute. comparing scam with scam: Hattie Turner, bending her head intently over a slowly growing structure; Bertha Dean, passing the time on some entirely hand-made French lingerie: and Pauline Grindle, laboring with some troublesome French knots—for one finds a smack of Paris where- ever garments arc made. Marie Little and Blanche Baumgardner, the inseparable, are decorating some laundry bags with the branching featherstitch: and Eula Creswcll is matching colors and plaids, and planning the right combination of shades to harmonize best with the front of that dress. The circle is closed by Mabel Murdock, who is manipulating a crochet hook, and thus creating an intricate design for a dainty lace edge. Out in the other room Ethel Boyd has the at first almost unrecognizable pieces of a pattern, neatly pinned to a long strip of goods, laid on the operating table. Across from her. Ethel McMillam is similarly employed; while at the other end of the table Dorothy Collins has applied the blade and has left great yawning openings, sur- rounded by a mere outline of material to show where the pattern formerly lay. From one busy girl to another flits a figure, pulling wrinkles straight here, sug- gesting a slight change there, picking up a dropped stitch, putting the mark of approval on some dainty workmanship by a That’s fine, now for something else, or suggesting another trial to insure more nearly perfect results. At five twenty-five there is a scurry for wraps, a gathering of needles, measuring- tapes. scraps of goods and patterns—a flick of the light—and darkness settles down, and stillness, even more marked because of the busy chatter which had just been filling the room; for in a sewing class one can have the pleasantest sort of a time talking over current events and local happenings. 51 The Library NE OF the greatest assets of any college is its library. This fact was early realized by the faculty of Cedarville College and in the fall of 1895, Dr. McChesncy made an appeal to the congregations of the Reformed Presbyterian church for contributions to a library. In answer to this appeal over twelve hundred volumes were donated, and a number of the leading periodicals and magazines were provided for the reading tables. For a number of years the present chemistry recitation room was used for a library and managed jointly by faculty and students. Such an arrangement only partially met the needs of the students. During the holiday season of 1905, through the efforts of Dr. David McKinney and Hon. Withelaw Reid. Andrew Carnegie offered Cedarville College a gift equal to the sum it could raise foi an endowment. Twelve thousand dollars were secured within one year, and the present building was completed in the fall of 1908. Arrangements were made with the township for a union library, and about five thousand volumes are now found on its shelves, while many of the leading periodicals and magazines arc found on its reading tables. The shelves will hold seventeen thousand volumes, and books are being added every year. Space forbids telling of the activities in the library: for. besides the reading rooms, there arc reception rooms, domestic science rooms, a physics laboratory, a seminary room and library, an offtcc. and the President’s room. It has meant and docs mean a great deal to the students as well as to the outside patrons, and its outlook is very encouraging. 52 4 I he Ladies’ Advisory Board BOUT five years ago it was thought best for the welfare of Cedarvillc College that it should have a Ladies' Advisory Board. Consequently, ten ladies, representing the four different denominations of the village, were chosen. Mrs. W. E. Putt and Mrs. M. J. Taylor moving away left eight members on the board. bor a while the board seemed to lie dormant to its responsibilities, but finally awakened and decided to be of some use to the College. hirst, the building was looked over and some necessary improvements were advised, which were carried out satisfactorily by the Trustees and the ladies were inspired to greater efforts. They decided to refurnish the girls' rest room, which they found needed some attention. Their first venture was an oyster supper which was well patronized by the friends of the College, and from which they realized a neat sum. This assured the ladies that they could go ahead, since they found out that they could make money. The end of the year found the girls’ room completely made over, with dainty new curtains, a beauti- ful new rug. and newly varnished floors. This year the boys' rest room and the music room have been furnished in the same way. The ladies have many plans for similar improvements in other rooms, and for many other things; such as new lights, chairs, etc., which will be carried out soon. The Ladies’ Board has become all that its name implies and more, and hopes to prove itself loyal and helpful to Cedarvillc College. 53 PHILADELPHIAN SOCIETY Collitu. Elder. Burn� . Ritchie.

SUNNY afternoon twenty year� ago last September, a band of enthusiastic student� gathered on the college campu� to con� ider the possibility of organizing a literary � ociety. Only a few day� after ihit the Philadelphian literary society, with malice toward none and charity for all. flung to the breeze it� pennant of Black and Gold. At the breeze� wafted gently heavenward from the college spire� , the little band of literary worker breathed this prayer, “May our color� e cr be turned heavenward. The Black and Gold soon won favor among the students. The loeiety grew in memberihip and enthusiasm. Finally, to facilitate matters, another society was organized, which indeed has ever striven to unfurl its colors in as lofty a breeze as has dear old Philo. _ ...... So much for “the dear dead days beyond recall.” Just how is Philo acting in the living present) For the past two years the society has been governed by a new constitution. The members of the society are responsible for a certain number and variety of productions to be assigned by a program committee. A heavy fine and o sentence requiring the delinquent to give two productions of equal rank with the neglected performance, before the faculty, acts as a stimulus to more prompt and efficient work. . The meetings of this present school year have been unusually interesting and encouraging. The productions show careful preparation as well as talent on the part of the members. Ccdarvillc's representative at the Intercollegiate Oratorical contest last year came from the Phila- delphian society: and in the preliminary contest this year every contestant wore the Black and Gold. Again, within the last year the society won merit for its college when one of the Philadelphians won a prize in the Perry Centennial essay contest. Lest we laud our beloved society too much and weary you. perhaps ’twould be wise to leave a few things unsaid. So with one further word we close; to the friend of the college especially to the alumni, the society extend a welcome to its literary meet- ings. Our latch string is out. 65 .

Scarcely vra it k momentous a the establishment of the college ilielf, yet it ha� hern an important factor in the growth and development of the institution. If you arc visiting the main building do not forget to explore our pleasant hall on the third floor. While you will find no elevator running to that s'.ory, we feel that you will be more than paid for the difficult task of climbing three flights of stairs. The colors green and while, are tastefully carried out in the furnishings. Re- cenlly it has been repapered. and new curtains soften, and add much to the appearance of the room. From the windows one may look out over the campus, dotted here and there with the famous three hundred trees. Near the beginning of the year the annual reception was held in honor of the new students. I he early part of the evening was given to music and games. We ore glad to have had our ranks strengthened by such a goodly number of new members this year. 1 heir work has been of a pleasing character, due perhaps to the ambrosia so kindly tendered them on the evening of their initiation. The work of the entire society has been progressing nicely and we have kept ever before us our motto, Let it be perpetual. To the members and to all we give you greetings. Noble Seniors, how it grieves us, That your days with us are o'er. And may truth and duty guide you As you sail out from this shore. To the Juniors, we entreat you. That the places left so bare, Bv our Bird and Lloyd and Slrrrell, You will fill with genius rare.

Sublime in everything that thrills the soul, 1 hou art an emblem, grandest to behold, A badge of honor with no marring stain, For to the frost thou would’st not give thy green; Thou would’st not bow down to its tyranny; Nor would’st thou kneel before the mailed might; But with thy fairest charms would stay the blade That seeks to humble thee—and thy reward— Of that thy virtue speaks with eloquence; Wreaths for thy courage when the skies are dark, And wanton clouds the sun’s bright rays conceal. Exalted are thy efforts, lifting helpful arms, From out a soil that holds scant nourishment To scatter cheer and warmth upon the earth. In places, dark and drear to look upon. Thy verdure fresh adorns the barren cliff And summer’s green, the snow-clad hills reflect, O’er winter’s power thou bear’st the victor’s flag. And in that day when earthly deeds are weighed. Our God. Himself, shall speak with trumpet voice: Right nobly hast thou wrought, O noble tree. Henceforth a crown of glory shall thou wear. 63 r i i Young Men’s Christian Association L I HOUGH our Association is not all we desire it to be. yet we feel that as an organization we may be justly proud of our history. From the beginning of the Association in 1906 until the present time we have had young men with us who were thoroughly consecrated to their Master. One of the first members of the Association. Mr. William Waide. is now a missionary in the Reformed Presbyterian mission field in India. Last September, another who was an active worker sailed as a missionary to China. Professor Canning, as we shall always call him. although not a student, was nevertheless much interested in our work and we miss him. Besides these, a number of our men have entered the ministry and arc engaged in active work for the Master. Several of the boys now in the Association are looking forward to the ministry. Our meetings arc held every Wednesday morning, and although we arc sometimes lew in number, we feel that we are benefited by meeting together for a few minutes of prayer and praise. This winter we have had a number of speakers. Rev. J. W. Patton brought us a helpful message on Silent Influence. Hie week before vacation, we met with the Y. W. C. A. and had Rev. H. C. Poster, of Clifton, with us; and just recently Dr. J. L. Chcsnul had a heart-to-heart talk with us as boys. The messages these men have left with us have been very helpful and inspiring. Our new President. Wendell Duff, we were able to send to the Presidents’ con- ference at Granville. Ohio, and he has come back filled with enthusiasm for the success of our Association. The way sometimes seems dark, but we have not given up hope, and are still hoping a-.d prcy:ng tint there may be better things for us in the future. - - 6G - I h Y. W. C. A. History KHE Young Women’s Christian Association was organized April 8. 1909, through the efforts of Miss Agnes Jean Smith, then Professor of English, and Miss Helen Scwali. Student Y. W. C. A. Secretary at that time. I he mem- ! crship then consisted of all the girls in college: and at present a majority of the girls arc members. Weekly meetings are held on Wednesday. Although our organization has been small, we feel that we have at least been finan- cially successful during the few years of our existence. First of all the girls furnished their rest room. The next winter one delegate was sent to the Rochester Convention. I wo delegates were sent the following summer to the 1 erritorial Conference at Granville. In October. 1910. the Association sent one delegate to a missionary conference at Athens. I he following fall two delegates were sent to the Ohio Students’ Conference at Springfield. I he next fall, two girls were sent to a similar conference held at Westerville. Ohio, and last winter two delegates were sent to the Oh'o and West Virginia Student Conference held at Dayton. This year we have attempted more work of a practical nature than we ever have before, and thus far have been very successful. Six Thanksgiving baskets were filled with all the bounties of the season, and distributed to the needy of the village. I lie children of the poor families were remembered at Christmas with well-filled stockings. At present we have a shut-in” committee whose duty it is to visit the sick and aged. We arc especially pleased with the interest which the girls have taken in the work this year, and the active part thev have taken in our weekly prayer-meetings. Altogether we feel that we have a very bright outlook and that we will be able to accomplish greater things than ever. fi 7 Alu mm PACE being at a premium, it will be necessary to treat this subject in a more or less general way. This fact makes a register as requested impossible. A classification dealing with the various graduating classes, as such, with a little ‘‘human interest” here and there, must suffice. 1897. How well remembered, although eighteen years ago. are the words (which have since become familiar to all), “upon the recommendation of the Faculty and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Board of Trustees, etc.” As they were repealed, forward, in turn, strode John Bickctt, Raymond Gorbold, Homer McMillan. Cal Morton, and Alvin Orr and lo. a new Alma Mater sprung into being. To these boys is chargeable most of the deviltry incident to student life in the college. They made precedents. All had attended college elsewhere, and each brought with him to Ccdarvillc some of the spirit of other institutions. For instance. Ray Gor- bold brought over from Franklin College the fust white vest ever worn in this school. He wore it on all occasions. Homer and Alvin were in for literary work. As for Cal—well. Cal faced the footlights once. It was in the Philosophic Hall. The piece was about a young fellow calling on his girl, and each verse wound up. And you were scared. Old Man. and so was I. but Cal would insist on saying. “And so AM I. He made a big hit but never tried it again. As for John, he was considered the righteous soul that saved the class. 1898. Elmer Elder and Jim McQuilkin were the second annual product. Elmer lost his finger one ITanksgiving day. Stuck it in his gun barrel while hunting. I his showed his wisdom. His careful training in college probably prevented him from looking down the aforesaid barrel. “Jim Mac always wore his hair a la Bob La Follette, and was a favorite with the ladies. 1899. Jim Heron was the shining light of this class, with Torn Turner a close second. Belle Winter gave them both a chase for the money. Jim and Tom are pastors now. Belle, annually, makes a speech at the Alumni Association meeting to which it is well worth any one’s time to listen. 1900. A record was made by the class of 1900 that has never been equaled by any class before or since. Note the list: Nabob Condon, who wore the newness ofl the College Hall; Rob Harper, who was the first to steal a fair member of the faculty (the loss was bad but the example has proven even worse) : Shope” Ilifle. famous at the time as left-hand egg-thrower, bell-ringer, and Captain of the Hallowe’en Raiders. ’96. ’97. ’98. '99. Then there was Clodc Paul and Chick Young, whose mere presence was a bad omen. Cora Anderson. Lulu Coe. Bessie Hopping, the Knott girls. Nell Lewis. Anna Orr. and Nell Ustick made up the list of the girls. Summing up briefly: in the fall, the Trustees ordered the college redecorated and all pianos tuned. 68 f- 1901. This class was noted for its diversity. Dcs-cartes Harper was crijv pled up with the rheumatism; Bob Wilson with argumentitis. Deacon George was one of Dr. McKinney’s too-tooters (two tutors). E. E. Finney refused to use ponies. Fred Anderson’s fast stepper took most of his time. As for Bob Galbrcath. Olive Coe. and Blanche Ervin, they labored under the bad example of the former class- men. 1903. What this class lacked in numbers was made up in importance. Homer Henderson didn’t exactly hate himself, due possibly to the reform tendencies of Mary Ervin, the other member of the class. 1903. Vera Andrew (of tender age), Alice Bromagen (her Professor’s delight), Alfarelta Hammond. Lulu Henderson, and Agnes Stormont (the studious), John Finney (right guard), John Wilson (of sunny disposition), and Cal Wright (on knowledge bent, since knowledge is power), had their day. faced the orchestra for an hour, and straight- way went forth—as lay Wolford was wont to say— to battle with the elements. 1904. It is not often that so much native ability is found in one class as was found associated in the one of this year. Besides, each individual was a specialist in his or her particular work. Windy Bull still holds the talk title. Speedy Bird, as the name signifies, was not slow, but to date is still single. R. B. Shaw showed Joe Jefferson tendencies, but later turned his attention to distributing Bibles in I exas. with a sixty per cent rakcoff. Fritz Barber excelled as a debater of current topics. Ray Fitzpatrick, alias Fitz, was punctuality personified. He never missed a minute ir all six years’ attendance of classes and was always exactly thirty minutes late to football practise. Carrie Hutchison was a leader in society and one of the few successful heart- smashers in the h:storv of the college. Frank Young was an orator of no mean ability. Bill Pollock rapidly developed theological tendencies, also matrimonial. Marie Gar- lough. Mary Ramsey, and Carrie Rife worshipped at the feet of the masters. 1903. Since the statute of limitations does not run against crime, in this state, even at this late date it would surprise no one should the grand jury investigate this class and return a bill against it for obtaining money under false pretenses. Any one who attended its Class Night exercises should be a competent witness. Sam McMillan was compelled to deliver fourteen declamations before the crowd was apf eascd. No wonder Sam had (?) to read his graduating oration the next day. I he rest of the program consisted of a discussion and demonstration about a hunter chasing a squirrel around a lrec- . . ... 1906. The responsibility for a major part of the purloining of chickens, room- stackings. and practical jokes played on faculty and fellow-students, for several years was laid at the door of the members of this class: and perhaps justly so. All manner of things happened along about this period. Jack Graham s trunk would turn up on the front porch of his best girl’s boarding house; Gordon Ware’s room would become unin- habitable with sulphur fumes; Mr. Crawford’s annual donation of chickens would become invested in the donee ; “Prcxy V’ library sprung up in a night; ct cetera, et cetera: and of course the blame always attached to this bunch. fit! r 1907. Night prowling was the principal diversion indulged in by the “grads of 07. It was no uncommon thing for the Marshall brothers to call some boastful one’s bluff by taking him out to Jackson’s track at any old hour of the night and kick dirt in his eyes. Others of the class contemplated midnight plunges in Massie’s Creek, which fortunately were never realized. 1908. Jack Nash bears the reputation of keeping company with a greater number of ladies than any other man who attended college. Jack Henderson and Doc Spahr possessed enough impracticable mathematics and philosophy to stall a six- cylinder. The remainder of the class were of course very much outshone. 1909. Initiative in man is a laudable thing but it can be carried too far. Indi- vidually the class of ’09 were always starting something they couldn't stop. Since graduating, a radical change has apparently taken place. Nothing startling has been heard from them. Like that automobile of well-known make which ran twelve miles without its engine, this class’s reputation is all that is necessary, it seems. 1910. This is the banner class of the college—the largest in number. Just notice a few of the individuals. Dave” Brigham of snipe hunter’s fame—by the way, this is the best story that ever happened in college circles. It was in the fall of ’05. Billy Beggs had drifted in from York slate and Dave hailed from Philadelphia. Aunt Mary’s boarding club was flourishing in those days. About a month after the fall term had opened some one suggested that a mess of snipe wouldn't go bad. In a night or two, about a dozen of the boys proceeded to the lonesome vales on the Whitclaw Reid farm. Of course Billy and Dave being from the city didn’t know anything about driving snipes and it was up to them to hold the sacks. Well, about I :30 a. m. they began to do some thinking. They then proceeded across the fields and finally came out onto Bridgman’s race track. Thinking it the road they plodded their weary way, but the third time around the fence posts began to look familiar. The truth dawned upon them about this time and seeing a house nearby, they awoke the sleeping inmates and inquired for a hotel in Xenia. Xenia Man, you are in Ccdarville. was the reply. With this added enlightenment and chagrin they soon found their rooms. I he experiences of this memorable night were never fully divulged until about three years afterwards. Franklin Archibald Creswell developed enough good stories during his regime as Manager of the basket ball team to fill a volume. If Archie were to write such a book lie would no doubt devote steen chapters to the virtues of his favorite coach. Sam Hill was the Big Man of the class. His football record has never been equaled. If the reports from Carnegie Fcch are true, he is the coming White Hope. Bill” Ritter was a pugilist. He was the undisputed champion until a man who believes in trading at home” came to town. The next day “Bill gave his gloves away. Ed Shaw was the long boy of the institution, excepting Professor Jurkat of course. Ed made inroads on the faculty—a little. 70 Some of the best wives turned out by the college were graduated this year. 1911. The members of 'II were all akin. (Sec Jurkat for further particulars.) John Stewart early developed musical talent. John devotes his time at present to setting Luke McLuke’s stuff to music. Jack” Ustick was going good until he spent the summer at Miami Valley Chautauqua. No living man could tell the rest. As for the girls in the class—well. Jack got R-c-v. prefixed to his name last spring and he couldn’t leave Lydia. The others arc still living in hopes.” 1912. These youngsters came within an ace of raising enough funds to erect a dormitory for the college. Ask your poker player friend just how near that is. How- ever. it was a stride in the right direction, and the experience gained has placed “P. Dix in the champion list of money raisers. 1913. As a class none have won more medals than this one. Wendell Foster and Lari McClellan have more medals and ribbons hung to them than a sweepstakes Jersey that has made the rounds of the county fairs. The remaining members are re- spectable and law-abiding citizens. 1914. The deeds, both good and bad, of this last and infant class of graduates arc still fresh in your minds. One of this number is married already, which is laudable. This brings to mind an interesting fact. Of the male graduates two-thirds are married, while only one-third of the woman graduates are married. Perhaps it would be a good idea to continue the Domestic Science Department. 71 Gavelyte Staff W. D. STERRETT Editor Ralph S. Elder Associate Editor W. Emery Hoskinson Ruth R. Harris Mary E.

I o be sure she has had her up’s and down’s, but the red days have far ex- celled the black. From the first she has manifested an active interest in all athletic sports. In looking over her records, we find that for three successive years, beginning with 1896, she held the championship in baseball and football over all the surrounding Colleges. The football record for 1897 shows seven victories, two tie games, and not a single defeat. On the team were Morton. Orr, the IlifTes, and a number of others who arc now playing the game of life with the same zeal with which they played football. In the fall of 1902, Dr. Alford presented the College with a much-needed gymnasium. Immediately the basket ball teams were reorganized and practise com- menced. Ever since there has been an active interest in basket ball, both by boys and girls. Although there have been failures and arc yet, still there has been steady advance- ment. In the winter of 1910-11 the girls held the championship honors of the state. That year they won every game but two and were successful in defeating the Miami University team that had not been defeated in nine years. Our boys’ team has also always had a good record. Owing to the fact that all our players were new, some of them having never played before, the teams the past winter were at a disadvantage. However, their attempts were not all defeats, and even the defeats have only served to show them their weak points, and enable them to strengthen themselves more and more for each succeeding contest. Both boys and girls have done some splendid work, and the outlook for next winter is very encouraging. Early though it is, the boys are already enthusiastic over baseball, and arc receiving every encouragement from the student body. There are several good players in school and the prospects are brighter than they have been for two or three years. Besides baseball and basket ball, we also have a fine tennis court, and a number of students who are much interested in that sport. During the sunny days in the autumn and spring the court is nearly always occupied, and much enjoyment is obtained from the game. While in some ways the past year’s record has not been very good, the outlook for the development of athletics in our College was never more promising and we arc antici- pating better things in the future. 71 01ASTED HOPES. 75 They hitched tholr wagon to a mar hut the hIiikIc tree broke. THE BASKE T BALL TEAM The basket ball season came in like a goat and went out like a---------? We lost the fust game and at the present writing expect to lose the last. Sh!—say! I'll tell you somethin' if you won’t tell anybody. There was a basket ball game down at New Straitsville, January 22. and six Cedarville boys went down to see it. Sclah. The more we think of it. the madder we get. But. gentle reader, let me reason with you a while. We will have practically the same team for the next three years. I hey ought to learn to play ball by that time. Anyhow I’ll bet you five peanuts and a half, you II see better basket ball here next year than you did this. Hans. P. S.—We didn’t lose every game. GIRLS' BASKET BALL TEAM Burns Gardiner Wriciit Somers Uttll Comjns Baumgardner «r Girls’ Basket Ball NE morning last fall, after chapel services. Prof. McChesncy read the follow- ing announcement: All girls wishing to play basket ball, come to the gym- •1 nasium at two-thirty this afternoon. Long before two-thirty that afternoon you could see girls hustling up street and entering the door of the gymnasium. The last one to come was a shy little personage wearing a big happy smile. As she entered all the girls greeted her with this welcome: Hurrah! a new girl for the basket ball team. Immediately you could see her smile vanish, and after a few sobs and stammers she said. I'm the coach. After this blunder, the girls kept quiet and the coach began to arrange the team. First she selected two small, (?) delicate (?) girls for centers, namely. Miss Somers and Miss Little, and the fleet-running Miss Baum- gardner was chosen as a second center. Next, guards were chosen who upon first appearance brought to our minds the familiar forms of Oscar and Adolph. 1 hese were our worthy friends. Miss Wright and Miss Collins. Last, but not without due consideration, forwards were chosen. Miss Burns and Miss Gardiner, two stalwart, rosy-cheeked farmer girls were selected for this position. I he team having been arranged, the first practise began. It resembled a football skirmish more than a girls basket ball practise. At four o'clock the girls started for home adorned with black eyes, bruised knees, and strained wrists. From this time on there was great improvement in appearance as well as in practise; and although we have unpleasant memories of the slick ball-room floor and dreadful hootenannie’ of Greenville, our attempts have not all been failures, and who knows that there is not greater success in store for us. A 77 Bam: ball TtAM '15 Boys' Bask i t Bai.l—C. C. Athletics 78 Cedarville Theological Seminary T a meeting of ihe Reformed Presbytery of North America held in John Thompson’s home. Conocochcaguc. October. 1807. a committee consisting of the Reverends Gibson. Wylie, and McLeod, were appointed to inquire into the necessity for establishing a Theological Seminary, if such necessity existed, and to outline a plan for the inspection of the Presbytery. On the following day the committee reported the need of such an institution and presented an outline of the plan. 'I he Presbytery considered the articles of the constitution, and with some amendments adopted them. I he Seminary was to be located at Philadelphia. Rev. Samuel B. Wylie of Philadelphia was unanimously elected Professor of Theology and Messrs. Gibson, Black, and McLeod, Superintendents for the first year after its organization. Hie Superintendents met with the Professors in Philadelphia. May, 1809, to organize the Seminary and make all necessary arrangements. No students had presented themselves. A committee appointed for this purpose reported that the amended draft of the con- stitution had not been published and that they had not made an appeal to the church in general, for pecuniary aid. I he suggestion was made that the Seminary be removed from Philadelphia to Walkill. but the opposition of Mr. Wylie was so decided that it was thought best to continue its scat in Philadelphia. The Board of Su|� crintcndcnts were instructed to meet with the Professors in Philadelphia in 1810, and to exert them- selves in behalf of the institution. Mr. Gibson having declined to serve as a Superin- tendent. Rev. Gilbert McMastcrs was appointed in his stead, and the Seminary was organized May 25. 1810. Rev. S. B. Wylie, D.D.. was its first, and for many years, its only Professor. The number of students who attended was comparatively large, but it was not sustained by the church with the interest which it should have excited. It was therefore suspended for several years, but its usefulness being generally acknowledged, it was revived in 1823. and its former Professor appointed to take charge of it. The controversies that agitated the church and finally resulted in the division of 1833 affected the Seminary so injuriously that it was again suspended. In 1844 it was reorganized with Dr. S. B. Wylie as Professor of Theology and Dr. Samuel W. Crawford. Adjunct Professor. The course of instruction was to occupy four successive annual sessions, each session to be of four months' continuance, from the first of December to the first of April. In 1850. a second Theological Seminary had been organized at Xenia, Ohio, with Dr. McMastcr. Professor of Theology, and Rev. Hugh McMillan. Assistant Pro- fessor. When the Wylies, father and son. resigned in 1851. the Philadelphia Seminary was removed to New York and Dr. John N. Mcl rod was appointed Professor of llieology. In 1854 General Synod decided to unite the eastern and western Seminaries and locate the institution at Philadelphia. In 1863 Dr. David Steele began his con- nection with the Seminary and held it until 1906. Rev. Matthew Gaily was elected Professor of Hebrew and Greek in 1876. and continued to teach until his death in 1902. In 1890, Dr. I. Y. Boicc was elected Professor of Homiletics. Church His- tory. and Pastoral Theology. In 1903 Dr. James D. Steele was elected Professor of Hebrew and Church History. In 1906, Rev. W. J. Smiley of Sparta. Illinois, was elected Professor of Hebrew and Church History. In 1913 the Seminary was removed to Cedarville. Ohio. Dr. David McKinney, Dr. W. R. McChesncy. Prof. F. A. Jurkat. and Rev. Leroy Allen were appointed Professors. In 1914. Dr. McKinney resigned and the work in h s department was taken up by Dr. McChesncy. 79 College Publications the gavelyte HE GAVELYTE is the student publication of Ccdarville College. Estab- lished in 1906, it has survived many difficulties and discouragements, and still continues to herald the events of Ccdarville College to the students, alumni, and friends of the institution. Although the circulation is not large, we have received a great deal of help in the way of advertising, from the business men of Ccdar- ville and surrounding towns. Mr. Karlh Bull, the publisher of the ‘‘Ccdarville Herald.” has also stood as a friend through sunshine and storm. We wish, through this publica- tion. to thank all our friends for their support in the past and bespeak their continued support in the future. ‘THE CEDRUS” “The Ccdrus is the fourth annual that has been issued by the students of Cedar- villc College. The previous ones were The Imago.” 1897; ‘Memorabilia, 1903, and the “Gavelyte Annual. 1911. The new name has been given to this annual with the hope that it will be permanent, and that 1 he Ccdrus will be in reality an annual publication of Ccdarville College.

The officers are as follows: G. H. Hartman, Presi- dent; L. F. Sullenbergcr. Vice President; Andrew Jackson. Secretary, and L. F. Tindall, Treasurer. Dr. M. I. Marsh, Dr. J. O. Stewart, and Robert Bird, together with the officers of the organization, form a Board of Governors. The purpose of the organization is to promote the best interests of our village, and create and maintain good fellowship among our business men. We believe a great work can be done here by co-operation. We arc located in one of the richest counties of the state. Some of the finest stock in the world is raised in this locality. The beautiful scenery in and around our city is second to none. We are also on the Pittsburg, Cin- cinnati, Chicago, and St. Louis Railroad, one of the best in the United States. We have a splendid little college which is doing a great work, and which we realize is quite an important asset to our town. Everyone should take a pride in his home town and do all he can to support and strengthen it financially, morally, and spiritually. Remember, we cannot have a pro- gressive town, unless its citizens believe in it. believe in each other, and are willing to work and pull together. Everyone knows the type of a fellow who is always “knock- ing.” We hope that we have none of that class here but if we have they should either quit or move away. lire town will be better when they leave, and they will probably be of little use no matter where they go. We may have men walking the streets of Cedarville who are not as much benefit to the town as many who are buried in its ceme- teries. Some who have gone have left us a heritage of which we are proud, but the walking dead ones have never done, and never will do, anything either for themselves or others. For this reason, we believe a town is indeed fortunate which can say that all its dead are buried. As some one has said. Blessed are the dead who die to get out of the way and give somebody else a chance. Let us then be up and doing and be real live wires. Let us work and pull to- gether for the advancement of our town. By so doing we will make it a more ideal place for habitation and a place of which we may justly be proud.

Prof. Allen’s interpretation of the passage, By their fruits ye shall know them. — I think Cedarville College must be a pear tree. A few excerpts from P. L. R.’s Diary for the year 1915: Feb. 2—Hazel and I made out our schedules today. Think it the best arrange- ment possible as we will have so many vacant hours together. Feb. 3—Spent third hour in chapel. Feb. 4—Had the best time fourth hour today. Feb. 5—Got a card from Greenville. My it seemed lonesome in chapel. Feb. 6—Saturday. I certainly miss being at school today. Feb. 7—Hazel got home all right. Feb. 8—She and I fined five cents each for misconduct in literary. I paid it all. Feb. 9—Societies have their pictures taken. Hazel played Princess Royal” while we waited. Feb. 10—Tempted to cut V. M. Missed being in chapel. Mar. I—We take our places as President and Secretary of the Philosophic So- ciety. Mar. 2—Decide definitely to quit school. Broke the news gently but thought I saw a tear. Mar. 3—The last fourth hour together. 1 know I saw a tear. Some definitions suggested in English I: 1.

CEDARVILLE COLLEGE n 4 S A VERY good place in which to get your educa- tion. It offers courses in the following departments: Collegiate, Normal. Preparatory. Agricultural, Theo- logical. Musical, Oratorical. Art, and Domestic Science. Tire work is thorough and readily accepted at full value by the largest and best Colleges and Universities, such as Ohio State University, Miami University. Ohio University, Chicago University, University of Michigan, Columbian University, and the University of Pennsylvania. Credit is given for work in the Normal Department toward state certification without examination. The elective system prevails, and with proper restriction, the student is permitted to choose the studies in which he is most interested, for which he is best prepared, and which will best fit him for his chosen life work. Small classes enable both professors and students to do their best work and get the most out of it. The moral and religious in- fluences arc of the best. A free employment bureau is main- tained and is successful in placing graduates in places of use- fulness. Last year every member of the graduating class who wished a position was definitely employed within a week after commencement. Tuition in the Preparatory and Theological Departments is absolutely free and in all other Departments the rates arc very low. Living expenses are extremely low. Many who could not afford the expense of a College education elsewhere arc able to obtain one at Ccdarville. A catalogue and further information can be obtained by writing to Ccdar- ville College, Ccdarville, Ohio. 80 Afterword N I HE foreword at the beginning of the book, it was stated that the sense of the shortcomings of the book weighed heavily on the shoulders of the publishers. I he load has not lightened one iota since leaving that port. The ship has nearly run aground more than once, and several times the hands have fallen asleep on the job. However, after a long, hard voyage she has finally reached her destination. The helmsman has ceased to use the levers by means of which lie controlled her course, and now the cargo is ready to be delivered into the hands of the printers and later to the students and friends of our beloved Alma Mater. Now. to drop our figure, the first volume of the Cedrus is being presented to the students and friends of the College and we hope it will be favorably received. We have endeavored to present college life as it actually is at Cedarvillc College. We wish again to thank all who have helped us in the publication of the book. If in perusing the pages previous to this, you have found any particularly good things, credit them to those who have helped us. As for the faults—well, the camel's back isn’t broken yet. 90 Don’t fail to look through the advertising sections. There is something there you will want to see. Something worth while.
