IJ liHIIIlKHU miM Ti TO PROFESSOR ANNA MARGARET SC1INEDER WHOSE SERVICE AND DEVOTION TO CKDARVII.LE Col.LEGE WIM. NEVER HE FORGOTTEN, WE DEDICATE THIS 1920 CEDRUS 1920 Foreword We endeavor, in the publication of this Cedrus, to place in the hands of the present students of Cedarville College, a book between whose covers they will find something of the spirit which permeates college circles during the school years nineteen hundred and nineteen and twenty. We also hope to give those outside of college circles who may, per- chance, read this Cedrus a glimpse of the real college life and spirit of Cedarville College during this school year. It is impossible to portray in this l ook every college activity and the excellences of character of every student. Nevertheless, it has been our aim to give as comprehensive a view of Cedarville college life as was possible in the allotted space. We hope that our efforts may give pleasure to and be approved by all who read this Cedrus. The Cedkus Staff. 1920 f � e. r Lr «fly jl.I.KN r«nui.TY inar.K. Louis aIjhekh [.•■ST.

In it are representatives of the Mongolian, Negro and Caucasian Races, coming from Shanghai, Prince Edward Island. New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Arkansas and New Mexico, all mem- bers of the “Middle Class the bulwark of Civilization. Their purpose in securing a college education is to fit themselves for more efficient service to their fellowmen. Their reasons for coming to Cedarville College were; that they had seen the part played by the gradu- ates of Cedarville College; they were told of the standard of work demanded at this institution and of its standing with the leading universities in the United States; they had heard of the capability and of the character of the professors. Hence, it was the natural conclusion, that at different in- tervals each member of this student body decided that Cedarville was the college for him or for her. The aim of each student is modified by his conception of college life and this in turn affects the spirit of the student body. The four years spent in college, to some, is a time when the social instinct is developed to a greater extent; this manifests itself throughout the years in the class rivalry spreads, weiner roasts, early morning breakfasts and pair meet- ings, the more dignified receptions of the various organizations and the annual reception of our president and his wife, Dr. and Mrs. McChesney. Then there are the sporting activities; the favorites in Cedarville are basketball, tennis and baseball. The spirit that permeates these contests whether they be inter-class or inter-collegiate is “Fair play,” “Take every fair advantage to win and “Be a good loser.” To the others, a college education is the adding to or cramming into their storage each day some new truth. Cedarville College Student Body boasts of a happy blending of social activity and classroom work. But the aim of the Student Body is—A Larger and Better Cedarville—satisfaction with existing conditions means stagnation and stagnation means death to all advancement. Though laud- ing the virtues of our College, yet we are cognizant of her weak points and because of our love for her, we strive to reach our aim. Cedarville College is a Christian College and every member of her student body is a Christian. The teachings of the Christ are emphasized, for we believe that the teachings of the Great Teacher will neutralize and destroy selfishness, the obstacle in the way of human advancement.— It. N. C. (S 1920 CEDARVILLK COU.KCiK m EDARVILLE College was opened for instruction, September 19, 1894, in a residence formerly owned by Rev. Hugh McMillan. In 1895 the present building was erected and entered. Rev. David McKinney, I). I).. LL. D., was the first president and acted in this capacity for twenty-one years. Rev. Wilbert Renwick McChesney, Ph. 1).. D. I)., who was a professor in the college, succeeded Rev. McKinney as president. 'Phe college is recognized by Ohio State University and by the De- partment of Public Instruction of the State of Ohio and by practically all of the leading universities. Cedarville College was founded witn the sublime object in view of advancing the interests of the Kingdom of God. Young men are trained for the Gospel Ministry, young men and women educated for missionary service or for work in the church. But character is the supreme aim of the college; not merely good moral character, but character patterned after our great example, Jesus Christ. 7 1920 THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY fOlNE of the greatest assets of any college is a library. The fac- liwflijwi ulty of Cedarville College soon realized this and sc Di. McChes ney made an appeal for contributions for a library. Twelve hundred volumes were donated and some of the leading periodicals were provided lor the reading tables. For several years the chemistry reci- tation room was used for a library and managed by faculty and students. In 1905, Andrew Carnegie donated twelve thousand dollars on con- dition that a like amount be added to college endowment fund. This con- dition was met within one year and the present building was completed in 1908. Arrangements were made with the township for a union library and it contains the modern library equipment with a capacity for seventeen thousand volumes. New books are being added every year and this year several more periodicals were added to the reading tables. 8 1920 THE ALFORD MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM E 9BJ26 N 1002, Mr. W. J. Alford presented to the college the church building, formerly the property of the Reformed Presbyterian _____ Church. This building was given by the donor as a memorial to his parents, the late Rev. John Alford, I). D., and Mrs. Mary B. Alford. The donor of our gymnasium must have realized that college students loved athletics. Many a time have the walls of the old gym- nasium rung with the shouts and screams of the students, as they forgot their classroom cares for a few hours. 1920 HOARD OF TRUSTEES Clans of 1920 W. C.

Wilbert Renwick McChesney was born July 7th, 1871, on a farm near Wampum, Pa. He was prepared for college at Grcersburg Academy, and entered the sophomore year at Franklin College in 188!), graduating in 1892. For two years after his gradua- tion he taught Latin and History in his Alma Mater and then in 1894 became the first professor in Ccdarville College. From that time to the present his story has been the history of the institution. He was promoted from one administrative office to another, being first secretary of the faculty, then vice-president, dean and in 1915 upon the re- tirement of the first president, Dr. David McKinney, he was chosen president. He has been honored by the degrees of A.M., and Ph.D., from Franklin College and of D.D., from Tarkio College. Upon the removal of the Reformed Presbyterian Seminary to Cednrvillc he was appointed Professor of New Testament Literature and a little later dean of the seminary and Professor of Systematic and Pastoral Theology. He is thus the successful and popular head of the two highest educational institutions in his denomination. Dr. McChesney is generally looked upon as the founder of Ccdarville College. The institution is a real monument to his genius and ability. From the very beginning his r.nirit has permeated the college. As president he has greatly increased the endowment, almost' doubled the attendance and vastly improved the standards and standing of the institution. The plans and policies which he has inaugurated, will, if he is permitted to live and carry them out, make Ccdarville. not the largest, but one of the best colleges in America, for the development of Christian leaders. It is Dr. McChesney’s highest ambition to make Cedurville College the rallying point and training school of many hundreds of young men and women, who, inspired by his ideals, and fully equipped by the work of the institution, shall go forth to advance the cause and upbuild the King- dom of Jesus Christ. Dr. McChesney is possessed of gifts which would have eminently fitted him to fill places of larger opportunity and wider service, and he has received many urgent in- vitations to enter upon such fields. Rut fortunately for Ccdarville he has chosen to make this his life-work, for without him Ccdarville could not be what it is. lie is an orator of impassioned power and earnestness in the presentation of the tru'h. a prince of preachers, a man who believes in prayer and practices the presence of God, a real piaster, much welcomed at the bedside of the sick or dying or in the house of mourning. As a teacher he is both inspired and inspiring, and none can excel him in making vivid and impressive the lessons he drives home. For a number of years he taught in the summer session of Wooster College and was hailed by scores of students as the greatest teacher they had ever known. Rut greatest of all. Dr. McChesney excels as a friend. Of winsome speech and manner, full of witty stories and amusing recollections of great men and women, tact- ful and considerate of all with whom he comer in contact, he is a very pleasant com- panion. He is loyal to his friends with an unswerving devotion that binds then� to him and makes them rally around him in the support of the great work in which he is en- gaged. Truest of all is he to his greatest Friend, who has sustained him in all of the years of his struggle here and in whom is all of his reliance for the future. The con- viction is forced upon us as we view his life and character that never again will Cedar- ville College have such a president. Let us then appreciate him while he is with us and work with him to make Cedarville College realize his lofty ideals. 1920 Leroy Allen Dean ami Registrar Harper Professor of Economics and Sociology Ph.

Opportunity is present with us S ‘now A college education opens the way to a life of service. College means opportun- ity. Let us remember that our success de- pends not on what may come to us tomor- row but on what we make out of today. 1920 1920 SKNIOR MUSINGS Memories of the class of '20 as Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors soon fade, but long will be the memories of our Senior days. Through three long weary years we toiled with one hope in view, that of becoming Seniors, for were we not told that Seniors were favored? But, alas, when we became Seniors our hopes seemed shattered for schedules, debates, tests and exams, as usual confronted us. Although they may� seem big and darn and fearful like the storm cloud, they are never as ter- rible as we imagine them to be. We work hard and play hard, for have we not learned by experience that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy ? However, all thoughts of play are cast aside when a debate brief or written argument absolutely must be handed in by a certain date if we desire the honor of having an extra letter conferred upon us. For instance, having an F raised to a D. As dignified and stately Seniors, we have studied in all the depart- ments, worked out the puzzles, solved the great mysteries, laughed at the jokes (when necessary), and treated ourselves as worthwhile human be- ings. You may not agree with this, nevertheless it is true. We arc proud of our class, for is it not noted for its ambition, in- telligence and talent? It would be impossible for the under-classmen to give their programs without calling upon our famous musicians for aid. Then too, r.o olher class can boast of so many of its members assisting the faculty, for we have teachers of English, Language, Science and even Math. It is not only in scholarship that we excel, but we rapk among the highest in Athletics—Basketball, Baseball, Football and Tennis. For further evidence of our ability, all the important offices of the different organizations of the college are held by members of the Senior class, namely, the presidents of Y. W. C. A., Y. M. C. A., of the entire student body, and of the tennis association, manager of the girls’ basket-ball team, captain of the boys’ team, and others too numerous to mention. We are all loyal sons and daughters of the Buckeye State, except, Mr. Chu from far away Cathay. As a class wo have lived a part and con- tributed a share to the continual growth of good, so are we, now, upon the threshold of a new life. We see a new vision, a new way of life, a new feeling of hopefulness. Graduation, day is but a step toward the great field of life where we may fulfill the visions we have caught during our college days.—R. H. 18 1920 AND THEN We've toiled four years in building a boat As an aid, in sailing life’s seas. The first of June we’ll set them afloat And unfurl their sails to the breeze. Three years have gone so awfully fast We’re unable to realize, That soon we’ll be a thing of the past With a stone that is marked “Here Lies.’’ Not all our time was given to books, Worrying o’er facts that were stale, Ponds soon dry up, but the running brooks, Reach the great wide sea without fail. Oh! we would not look beyond the veil That is hiding all future time. Our lives would then in their purpose fail, For uncertainty is sublime. This life is only a breathing space With a rough and troublesome sea. To prepare us for another place. Which is known as eternity. The weak are lost in the foaming mass But the worthy will reach their goal. Life is a light through which we must pass To reveal what is in our soul. Or will we float upon the ocean. Quite insensible to its roar, Harb'ring an oft mistaken notion That we’ll drift to the golden shore? For soon the sun will desert the tide And a mist will cover the land. Will we be sailing the ocean wide, Or be wrecked on treacherous sand? But lets cast off all the signs of doubt. And enjoy the plays and the stunts. Forget we’re Seniors to be thrown out, For we pass this way but once. D. S.

It has found i i the class of ’21 of Cedarville College pushing rapidly forward wfflpJ in their college career. There has been much hard work. Many discouragements have been encountered. And yet, we, as a class, can not but feel the thought which the poet sings: “From founts of dawn our joyous college days Have rippled like a brook right pleasantly, Half-way to noon. Hut now with widening turn, make pause In happy retrospection locked, We backward look.” Time has wrought many a change in our class during the three years ol its life. So many changes that there is only one among us now who belonged to the class as a freshman. Helen Stewart represents the original class and brings to us a fine example of its former ability and love for knowledge. The remaining number of our class began college life together in the preceding class, but for various reasons we one by one were destined to the class of '21. Although we are sorry to lose our classmates of those other days we are very glad to have been brought together as a class to experience these days filled with work and with pleasure, days of the junior year of the class of ’21. Paul Duncan and Leslie Dean have but one draw-back to their felicity. Leap year! Since the rest of us belong to that sex which during leap year hold the key to the world’s happiness or misery, these young men are living in fear and trembling since January, the first. Of course, Leslie is not afraid of the proposal. He is afraid someone will get ahead of Helen. We have in our possession that which many a class lacks. A blues- chaser! For Millie believes that if one makes the best of things and lives each day as it comes, one is bound to get through—even examina- tions. With the junior year, the serious side of life begins to present itself. One begins to look back on the pleasant schools days with a feeling of regret that they are so nearly done, and forward with anticipation, eager, yet rather fearful, to the great step out in the world after graduation, the commencement day of that fuller, deeper life for which one has tried to prepare. When we think of these things it brings a new sense of the responsibility of “life” and a sweet seriousness which leads us to wish in the words of Longfellow that we as a class may: “Build today, then, strong and sure, With a firm and ample base. Thus ascending and secure Shall tomorrow find its place.” M. L. G. 28 JUNIOR CLASS POEM Should you ask me of the Juniors Whence they came and how they started To the place of choicest wisdom, To the halls of studious learning ’Mid the grove of cedar tree. 1 should answer 1 should tell you. Tell you all I know about them, Of each individual member, How they look, and what their actions, Of their whines and funny notions, Of their aims and their ideals. Though of boys there are only two. And the girls but four in number We have never lacked for wisdom. There is Leslie Dean a wonder, Like a king controls his “empire,” Drives his car as swift as lightning. He is learned in every science. Chemistry and mathematics. These indeed, and many others. Now another stands before us. lie is something of a jester, Has a sunny disposition, Much inclined to tease the ladies. We will see him in the future Preaching to a congregation. There’s a girl from Pennsylvania, As a student in her classes She makes grades that far surpasses Many others in their studies. Better does she like the wildwood Out among the trees and “bushes” Than the noisy bustling city. Helen Stewart, a graceful beauty Is our only charter member. She will some day use her knowledge As a teacher showing others ’Long Hu? way that she has gone. Next we’ll tell you of our Millie. Varied are her many talents. As a teacher or a scholar As a speaker and musician, Light and gay and always happy May her future thus continue. There is still another person Who’s a member of this body. She it is who writes this story. She indeed is very lucky To be counted in among them. Now we leave you with this message, That although we’re small we’re mighty, And our light shall shine forever As a beacon to successors. (Apologies to Ixmgfellow.) H. E.

Only two short years hence and we too must launch out on the great sen of life. In many respects the class of '22 is the most unique and versatile class that has ever passed through the halls of Cedarville College. Sine� , we have been a part of the school, we are proud to say that there has never been a single student activity that some one of our classmates have not been more or less engaged in; from smearing blue paint to stacking the chapel, and from assisting in Senior plays to breaking up Freshman spreads; and it is even whispered about among the members of the class that once upon a time one of our number was actually known to have studied. However, with the recitation of our checkered career (the spots are mostly black, we admit) we do not wish to give the impression that we are entirely bad. nor would we desire to represent ourselves as budding angels, but rather a group of lively, wide-awake and progressive young men and women, representative we believe, of all angles and phases of the life of the average youth of our American colleges. Every political party, no matter how large or how small, must have its platform, we too have one. True we have made our mistakes, and our failures, but, the organization that makes no mistakes is dead, and very decidedly we are not a dead organization. It has always been out practice to endeavor to build monuments of success on the ashes of our failures. During our stay in college it has been our goal to adhere strictly to the policy of the square deal, good sportsmanship, closer co- operation between faculty and students, and to assist in every possible way “the powers that be” in making Cedarville College a bigger, better and grander place for the classes of the future. J. E. B. (Ml 34 «Hi 1920 a SOPHOMORE CLASS POEM We're a jolly band of Sophies of the glorious G. C.; Struggling through a course of training that must frame our destiny. Though our path be rough and winding and our progress hard and slow, We’ll pick flowers from the roadside and be jolly as we go. For there’s nothing in a worry, there’s nothing in a frown; Such pessimistic measures only serve to drag one down. So we’ll sing away all worries, and we’ll laugh away despair, And we’ll hit the trail of progress to the tune of “I’ll be there.” For with Allen and McChesney. Jurkat, Wesley, Brand and Rea, Who keep our thick-skulled noodles in the scientific way ; And with Russell and McGervey just to keep the band in tune, We’ll pick the plums of knowledge to a finish quick or soon. True, the mountains of the junior and the senior year’s ahead, Like Josephus Dan’s defenses give some little cause for dread; But we must not halt or waver; let “Advance” our watchword be; For beyond these Alps we’re nearing, lies our sunny Italy. We’ve made our mark already in large figures of deep blue; And to this pledge, thus given, to the man, we’ll be true. So we'll scale those rugged summits with the grit that Lincoln knew. And we’ll launch out on life’s ocean in nineteen twenty-two.. J. R. 36 1920 37 1920 THE FRESHMAN CLASS schoo HE largest freshman class in the history of C. C. is composea oi' the shortest young men, the tallest girls, the star basketball players of both sexes, and all in all the pep (est) bunch in Our favorite pastimes are “having spreads,” playing “steal, oh steal my girl away.” We are noted for good eats which we have at our spreads, having been known to have nine chickens at one feed. Even the upper classmen were thankful for the feed that we gave them after the Bluff ton game. But the greatest event of our short life was the night of the interclass games, when challenged by the “uppers”; we won bom games. The girls’ score being 15 to 1, and the boys 32 to 1(5. Florence Smith, our “Amazon forward, made 13 of the 15 points and Alice Danes, the star of the “uppers, made one lonely little foul. The boys, although not by such a large score, came out on top. A small portion of our won- derful class is very capable in the art of kidnapping.” There are more world war veterans in our class than any other. And yes, we don’t want to forget “Preacher,” the cheer leader “wonder”. These arc no� nearly all of our good points, but it is not nice to tell all of the good things we know about ourselves, and from these mentioned you will be able to realize what a really and truly wonderful class we are.

Consider Mary, Alice and Miss Barnard. Learning are Anderson,Finney, Simison and Kyle, Letting their pleasures go to study a while. After a Freshman class spread Always Wright and Lyle look well fed.

S. 41� 1920 41 1920 REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN SEMINARY HE Theological Seminary opened on September 10, 1019, with twenty-three students in attendance. They were all in good ■££� ] spirits after their summer’s vacation and came back with a determination to make this the best year ever known to the Seminary, and true they did. Soon after coming back there was a desire for more co-operation and the students all met one evening and elected officers for the Student Seminary Organization. We agreed to meet every Thursday evening to study problems that might come before us after getting out into life’s service, and also to study the Bible. The meetings were very inter- esting and everyone felt that he was well repaid for coming to these meetings. We also thought it would be well to go out and hold prayer meetings at homes where the occupants did not or could not come to church. The boys divided into two groups and thus we would visit two homes on the same evening. The people always welcomed us into their homes and we tried to bring them closer to “Him that sticketh closer than a brother”. Whether we did that or not is yet to be seer, but we do know that we each one were brought closer to each other and closer to God. These meetings we feel have helped us just about as much as the lessons which we recite in the daytime and as we will soon part for the summer's vacation we trust that all the students will come back at the opening of the Seminary in the Fall with new ideals and thoughts so that we may have another year of successful work.

Since Cedarville was celebrating her quarter Century Centennial the Cedar Day exercises were suited to the occasion. The march of the Years headed by Father Time represented the life of the college since it was established. Miss Marguerite Gilkey, ’19, was crowned Queen by Miss Helen Oglcsbec, who was Queen of Democracy the preceding year. The May Pole and Fairy dances were given in honor of the newly crowned queen. Mr. Morton Creswell, ’20, delivered the Cedar Day oration. After the exercises of the morning those who had witnessed the festivities enjoyed a basket lunch on the campus. In the afternoon the crowd gathered at the baseball diamond where they witnessed a game between Antioch and Cedarville, in which Cedarville was defeated by the small score of 3 to 1. That evening an entertainment was given in the opera house by the Y. W. and Y. M. The beautiful day and the enthusiasm of the crowd helped to make this the best Cedar Day ever observed. M. W. 48 1920 i 1920 ORANGE AND BLUE LITERARY SOCIETY “Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them ' lor this reason have banded themselves into a society with an aim of progress in the line of literary advancement. After the meeting for organization, which was held early in the month of October, 1919, plans were made for the first program to be given by the society. The officers of the first semester were: President, Carl Dur.can; Vice President, Dwight McKune; Secretary, Miss Helen Barnett; Sergeant-al-Arms, Riley Clark, and Chaplain, Carl Elder. These officers, together with their corps of assistants, arranged and gave many programs of real merit and of literary and educational value, while at the same time tend- ing to please the fancy of those who listened. The meetings of the society were held bi-monthly on Monday evening and not only attracted the attention of the students but many of the friends of the college. At the close of the first semester, officers for the second semester of the year 1919-1920 were elected as follows: President, Dwight McKune; Vice President, Wilbur White; Secretary, Miss Louisa Greer; Sergeant-at-Arms, Roy Insley, and Chaplain, LaClede Marklc. Throughout the school year programs were given in commemoration of various occa- sions, holidays, men of importance and men of literary fame. Besides the usual readings, orations and musical selections, many other types of entertainment were given. Debates were given from time to time in which the leading issues confronting the public were wisely decided for the benefit of all concerned; sketches and short plays were given por- traying the vices and virtues of popular issues, the characteristics of certain types of persons and individuals, and often the college life with which the students were so well acquainted. The benefit of this society cannot be measured in the success which crowned the efforts of those who arranged and rendered the various programs, for the benefits which the individual members received will remain with them throughout the years to come and bear fruit in the lives of those who, going out from old C. C., shall make their Alma Mater an institution of fame. We trust that this initial step in the art of appearing before the public shall be the stepping-stone that shall cause our present members in later life to look back through the years with pride on the memory of the Orange and Blue.

It was just daybreak of a very cold day, and the air was still and frosty. Just as the sun was peeking its head above the horizon a man emerged from a small log cabin situated behind a sheltering cliff. Max Jenson was a fur trader of the far Northwest. His face was a well-written page, but through the tanned skin beamed cheer- fulness and honesty. He had roamed this God-forsaken country for nearly thirty years. He knew every path and stopping-place, and more- over, he knew every sign. This morning as he called his dogs around him he told them that they were going to get a rest. The sun had a reel glow that looked dangerous, and Max knew too well what that meant. He was not the man to take a chance; he had seen too many men perish in the snow. Max fed his dogs from a carcass of a deer that he had killed not long previous, and then set about to gather fuel. After gathering enough fuel to last for at least a week he began to make preparations on the inside for what he knew was coming. About one o'clock he looked out; to the west he looked with a sort of knowing manner. A cloud was there, not a black one, but white. Not long after this the wind began to howl around the corners of his hut and he called his dogs inside. After a half hour had rolled by the sky was filled with a dusty snow driven by the wind; the window sills were soon banked with it and the hut creaked and moaned in a way that would nearly dishearten a man. But Max seemed to be enjoying himself by keeping the dogs quiet and by filling in holes with sticks and rags to keep out the snow. He was very comfortable in the hut, having a good fireplace and plenty of fuel. He had been at a fur center just two days before and so was well stocked with provisions and smoking tobacco. After eight o’clock he sat down in his rocking chair which he had made a good many years before, ana began smoking. All seemed to be going well on earth But he was not the only one in that part of the country this night. Groping their way about a quarter of a mile from his hut were two other persons. They were “all in” and thought it useless to try any longer, but that instinct to struggle for life could not be overcome. So they struggled on, now and then shouting for help. One of the dogs in Max’s hut gave a growl; then sat up. Max listened for a long time and then started, for he heard what seemed to be a human voice calling for help, which was very uncommon. lie listened again to make sure he was right. Again he heard the cry. He immediately put on his boots, put his six-shooter in his pocket and dressed in general, pulling his fur cap about him, so all that could be seen were his eyes. 54 1920 As Lost Sheep Return To The Fold - Continued He then started out. He was almost carried off his feet by a gusi of wind, but he soon became accustomed to it. The snow beat in his face with great force. After going quite a distance he stopped and listened again. He stayed some time there, but at last he heard the cry, and answered it. Only a man who is experienced in such a plight could realize the joy and thanksgiving that thrilled this lost man. Soon by returning calls the two were brought together. Then came another great struggle to find the way back to the hut. Max kept the directions straight and after leading his two nearly frozen companions some distance he saw the light which he had placed in the window befor leaving the hut. When they were safely inside, they started to unwrap and Max found to his surprise it was a girl and young man. Max went about getting snow and rubbing their hands and feet without asking any questions, although he felt that this was strange—a girl in this part of the country, and evidently one of high birth. The men then arranged a place for her to sleep in one corner of the hut. They then curled up in front of the fire and went to sleep. The next morning never seemed to come. Darkness reigned over the little hut all that day; no one ventured forth. Even the atmosphere inside the hut was rather gloomy because both the newcomers were very much downhearted. Max, although he wished to know what had brought such a girl and young man to his hut, asked no questions. However, at noon when they sat down to their meal, the girl broke the silence. “Mister, would you mind telling us your name? “Now, I’ve learned not to scatter my name like chaf in a wind, but since it’s you, I guess I’ll tell you. It’s Max .Jenson,” replied Max in his drawling manner. “Well, Mister Jenson—” “Now just hush that mister stuff; my name is Max without the mister or Jenson, only when I get a check.” “Well, then Mr. Jen—I mean Max, I expect we owe you an ex- planation.” “Well, I don’t know, I haven’t asked for any yet, have 1?” “I know, but I'm going to give you one. You see my mother died about two years ago in Denver, Colorado. After that father came north to this trading center. Fox Tail Ridge, and started into the fur business. Now, father was sort of a crooked man and yesterday he capped the climax by skinning Tom Black out of about seventy dollars on a bunch of furs.” “Say,” broke in Max. “Is your father’s name Bradley?” “Yes,” replied the girl. “Do you know him?” “I met him once and we had a busines deal and well—say didn’t he know—Tom Black?” I see you know father, but as I was saying he capped the climax yesterday. He and Tom Black got into it and father was killed. The whole town went against him and we were ordered out of town, so here we are.” “I didn’t know Bradley had any children,” said Max. “Well you see, we are not his real children. He took us to raise about ten years ago. I don’t know where our real parents are. We are James 1920 As Ix st Sheep Return To The Fold •• Continued and Alice Rexlly. 1 am eighteen and my brother twenty-one. “You see,” broke in James, “we are not here because of pleasure but it was a have-to case. 1 got to see father, I mean Bradley, before he died, and he told me to go to his old home in Denver and unlock a secret box where we would find our future. He told me where the box was and gave me the key.” “Well,” said Max, “you two have a nice long trip to get to Denver if it keeps storming very long.” After dinner conversation became more general, and all of them felt that they knew each other better. Alice became the housekeeper, and the men looked after the dogs, cleaned a few guns, and did other little jobs that could be done inside the hut. The next morning when they awoke the outside world was very still. The dogs seemed to be impatient. The sun was shining, giving the snow piled against the windows a lighter hue. When they opened the door they found snow piled to the top. This meant work, and the men were soon at it. They dug a miniature canyon out a few yards and discoveerd that all that was visible of the hut was the chimney. They spent the next week in clearing away the snow. As the snow was too deep to attempt a journey to the next trading center, Alice and James just settled down and made the best of things. The men soon started hunting and trapping and were not long in getting a good many furs. One day when the snow had nearly gone Alice asked her brother if he didn’t think they should be moving on. He replied in the affirmative, so the next few days were spent, in preparation for leaving. At last they were ready to leave the place which had become so nearly like home to them. Max went with them to Rocky Deluge, a hut five days’ journey from their hut, and the nearest place where they could catch a train. When they were about to leave, hearty goodbyes and thanks were bestowed upon old Max for his kindness. They also asked him to find out what had become of their stepfather, Bradley, and all of his possessions there. James and Alice had to make many changes and stops before they reached Denver. Upon their arrival they went immediately to their old home in Denver and to the window of which Bradley had told them. They had quite a time finding any signs of a box, until James happened to spy a crack in the wood, and upon examining it found the piece loose. Suddenly a piece moved and revealed a key hole. He put in the key which Bradley had given him and turned it. Near the floor a drawer sprang out. There was nothing in it except an unsealed envelope. They opened it and found the following: “You children have been greatly wronged by me. When I took you from the state institution, 1 knew you, and also knew your parents. I ruined your father to such an extent that he was forced to leave you children for the state to support. Afterwards my conscience hurt me so badly that 1 got you out. but I told neither your folks nor you. Just be- fore we left Denver 1 was so distressed that I almost told you then, but the result was this note. I vowed that upon my death bed I would tell you where your parents are, and not until then.

James and Alice immediately straightened up the affairs of the Bradley household and then went to Colorado Springs. They arrived there about six o’clock in the evening, ate their supper, then started to South Benton treet. When they got to 2221, they say a rather ill-looking yet neat house. They went up the walk and as they passed the window they saw a man with bent shoulders and a woman that showed signs of unhappiness. In her lap lay a book, which upon second notice proved to be a Bible. She was reading aloud from it. At this sight tears formed in the onlooker’s eyes, but they were tears of joy. After a moment’s hesi- tation they knocked gently on the door. But few words of explanation were needed until that wailing mother had both the children in her arms for they were but mere children to her. The old father was forced to quit his manual labor and the whole family moved to Denver, where they started anew in the Bradley homestead. It was a happy beginning, although started rather late in life. Upon inquiry James and Alice found that Max Jenson had been a friend of their mother in early days, in fact he had been one of her dis- appointed suitors. They sent a message to him by special delivery and asked him to come and claim his reward and also to visit them. When Max received this he answered it with: “It’s enough reward for me to know that my outcasts are safe and happy. I will come and see you soon.” He kept his work, and the next winter he gave up trapping for the time being and arrived in Denver the day before Christmas. There was a joyous day of thanksgiving and reunion in the old Bradley home on this Christmas. Jack Ewbank. ; 8 1920 1920 GOD IN NATURE (Prize Poem.) I wonder not that men in olden days Have worshipped Nature with her mighty trees, An innate vision recognized in these The presence of the God they did not know, And so they bowed them down to earthly things For to no other altar could they go. I see Ilis beauty in the smallest flower, I read i I is plan in every leaf and blade, A Burning Bush hath hallowed every glade, I feel His heart throbs in the vibrant air; Oh, T could almost worship Nature, Lord, There is Thy shrine, I know that Thou are there!

C. A. is an influence for good among the boys of Ccdai- ville College. The members feel that the meetings have been very in- teresting. Especially strong were the missionary appeals given by Dr. and Mrs. White in connection with the relating of their missionary ex- perience in Egypt. There were quite a few of the boys in attendance at the Y. M. C. A. conference in Springfield last fall. All of the lectures were very in- teresting and the boys came back with a desire to solve some of the campus problems. Our Association was represented at the Student Volunteer Confer- ence at Des Moines, Iowa, during the Christmas vacation, by Dwight McKune and Wilbur White. The conference was a great inspiration to all present and the boys came home full of enthusiasm for promoting the interests of the Association. May the present be only the beginning of greater work to be done in the future. The officers for next year were elected in April and they are as fol- lows: President, Robert W. Stewart; Vice President, PaulW. Duncan; Secretary, James C. Kyle; Treasurer, Charles E. Brown. R. W. S. 61 1920 UEBA IlARBISON, Secretary REBECCA MARSH, Treasurer ALICE DAINES Helen Stewart Louisa Greer Ellen Tarhox, President Never since the organization of the Young Women's Christian As- sociation in 1910 in Cedarville College has the membership been so large as it is this year, 1919-1920. Two of the Y. W. C. A. members attended the Student Volunteer Convention at Des Moines during the Christmas holidays. While two other members attended the State Student Volunteer meeting held at Otterbein, March 12-14, 1920. For a number of weeks Rev. J. P. White and Mrs. White gave ad- dresses on missions before joint meetings of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. The result of these meetings was a deeper interest in missions and personal work. Never have the prayer meetings meant so much as they have since the student prayer meetings held March 15-19, inclusive. The spiritual life in Cedarville College is growing and let us hope that the Y. W. C. A. will do its part in helping each girl to press forward toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of Christ. E. E. T.

Luck was surely against us for in most of the games the Cedarville five played the better floor game but the basket al- ways seemed a little smaller than the ball. Early in the season Mr. Nelson H. Thorn was elected manager and immediately he began to arrange a schedule which would bring Cedar- ville into the big family of Ohio colleges. Eighteen games were played during the season, playing such colleges as St. Marys, Earlham, Mus- kingum, Findlay, BluITton, Ashland, Defiance, Antioch and Wilmington, er� 1920 BOYS’ BASKET BALL REVIEW - Continued The motto which the manager had in scheduling games was, “No matter if we can’t win, play first-class basketball.” The basketball season opened with only one letter man back in school, but with good team material. Coach Turnbull soon made this into a fast team but we found at St. Marys that most of the players were sadly lacking in weight. The team was well balanced and played a steady game throughout the season. The men had plenty of “pep” and confidence and every game started with a rush, but in many cases the second half proved to be our failing. In individual work, Captain Creswell at center played a fine game, scoring many of the points tallied. He seldom failed to get the tip-off and played a fast, clean and consistent game during the whole season. Bradfute, Foster and Thorn at guard deserve a large amount ot credit for their work. They held the scoring of the opponent at the min- imum, by preventing the opposing forwards to get close-up shots at the basket. They were great at breaking up foreign pass-work and most of the points scored against us were made on moderately long shots. Wright and Collins made a splendid pair of forwards. Shorty Wright was our south-paw sure-shot and did most of the distance shooting, while Collins was fair with long shots, but better when playing up under the basket. Both forwards were light but were very fast and could “run rings around” the majority of the opposing guards. The second team and subs are responsible in a large measure for fight shown by the first team, as they made the varsity work for every point in practice. Though they lost their one game with Xenia high school they put in good hard work and the first team could not have gotten along without them. Of these, Huston deserves special mention for faithfulness at practice and the fine showing he made in the Findlay game. We lose Creswell and Foster this year by graduation and though we will miss them greatly, with the rest of the squad returning, we predict great things for next year’s basketball team.

Most of the games have been very close, but since luck was against us in the past season we’ll be back at them strong next year. Nevertheless, some valuable material has been brought forth and next year when the basketball season dawns we will have an extraordinary team. “For every action there must be an equal and opposite reaction” and “some days must be dark and dreary.” We opened the season with one of the fastest and cleanest games which has been played by the Antioch girls for the past two seasons. Did we win this game? Oh, let’s not take time to tell about the score, for —well, what’s the use. Then there was a basketball game down at Cincinnati University and seven of the Cedarville girls went down to see it. The more we think of it, the madder we get. Somehow the centers never jumped high enough, the guards were not quite speedy enough and the forwards never aimed just right. Did we win the night the Commerrettes came to Cedarville? Of course, we did, with a score of 24-‘i and playing boys’ rules at that. Hearken! All ye good people! For so saith the prophet. There shall be clash after clash, game after game, but Cederville college know:- how to deal with both victory and defeat. E. I). 68 1920 1920 1920 TENNIS -----ENNIS in Cedar ville College is a very popular sport. At the be- __ ginning of the school year last September, the club was i — Sf fi organized, electing Norman Foster as president and Grace Lyle as secretary and treasurer. Plans for a school tournament had been made but bad weather put a stop to many things of which tennis was one. This spring the courts have been put in fine condition with a few improve- ments. The club is taking action to carry out the regular school tourna- ment which was commenced last fall. There are several good prospects for the team but it is hard to say who will represent Cedarville in the intercollegiate. Games have been scheduled with Antioch, Xenia Seminary, Wilmington and other near colleges who have good records in tennis. Never before has there been so much enthusiasm shown as this spring. Students, both girls and boys, are coming to a realization of the worth of this sport. So in coming years C. C. may become widely known by its tennis records. F. R. I. 71 1920 BASF BALL THE ground-hog kept his promise this year in good faith. It seemed impossible for the manager to draw up a contract with him any earlier than the 25th of March. Owing to this fact, baseball practice started later than usual. However, as soon as the sun became generous enough to leave a few heat rays on the college campus, the boys naturally began to talk baseball, get the old mitt out of the trunk and knock a few flies. The enthusiasm grew from day to day until every boy who was interested in baseball began to “work” in order that he might make a position on the team. When the first practice was called, twenty-live men came out, the most that had been out for several years. Manager Carl Duncan, a former Cedarville star short-stop, who has returned to school after an absence of some four years, arranged games with nearby colleges such as Antioch, Wilmington and Wilberforce. Hob Colman, one of the four letter men, was unanimously elected captain. He soon realized that a big problem was before him. In previous year; the problem has been to get enough men to make a team, but this year more than enough for two teams were out working hard for a position. At first Captain Colman thought that he was lacking a good pitcher. He began, however, to look the bunch over and soon found several goon prospects. Markle and Lyle, both new men, were given the orders “to get in shape.” Wright, our speedy little southpaw who was with us last year, seemed to have the edge on them all. And even our captain, to his surprise, began to show signs of being able to get back into his old position in front of the umpire. Sanders and White, both new men, seemed to be the only ones who could hold these twirlers. At the time of this book going to press only one game had been played and this being with our old rivals, Antioch. The game was very interesting and exciting from start to finish. It was not until the last inning that the home team was able to nose ahead at all and the game ended with the score G to 5 for Antioch. Wright pitched a great game, allowing only a few hits. Colman was not able to play on account of an injured knee and his services at first base were greatly missed. The lineup was as follows: Thorn, lb; Malin 2b; Markle, 8b; C. Duncan, ss; Brown, If; Creswell, cf; P. Duncan, rf; Sanders, c, and Wright, p. S. M. C. 72 1920 COLLEGE FESTIVITIES ’19-’20 ville 'T 0 an absolute certainty we have discovered that the term “college 1 applies not merely to the studied curriculum and various courses planned by learned professors. At least, we of Cedar- College, have a much broader definition for the word and with it the term Festivities is coupled. At the very beginning of the year this fact was emphasized in the shape of a social given in the College Gymnasium—“just to make the new students feel at home”—and the social certainly served its purpose. Then, as is the custom, the boys of the college entertained the girls at Hallowe’en time in a very “bewitching” manner. In the past the Cedarville and Xenia Theological Seminaries have entertained each other alternately, and as it was our turn this year, the Seminary students tendered a reception to the Seminary students of Xenia. But in the midst of these dignified receptions surely, the annual Night Shirt Parade which is staged by the boys, should not he forgotten. The custom dates as far back possibly as the beginning of the college and constitutes just what is represented by the name. It might be added, however, that as time goes on, the hilarity of the occasion increases, and also it is the one night of the entire year that the term co-ed” does not apply, as at this time the girls must seek refuge behind closed doors and lowered window shades. Of course, Cedarville ranks among the first in athletics and this year after the various basketball games a special attraction was offered in the shape of a feed and a general gool time. Naturally, the Freshmen, always noted for their initiative and originality, established a precedent by entertaining first for the Bluff ton game. This occasion was such a success that their example was immediately followed by the Sophomores when Wilmington visited us, and finally by the Juniors and Seniors when the Findlay team played here. Probably one of the most enjoyable events of the entire year was the Annual Reception for the faculty and students given by Dr. and Mrs. McChesney in their home. This occasion is looked forward to from year to year with great pleasure and as usual proved a very happy event. And now, who can fail to admit that in Cedarville the festivities are by no means the least of the college life? II. II.
