Senior History ME CLASS of 1915, composed of nine member , could scarcely be named the best looking of lire classes that have passed through the balls of C. 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
