1920 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY CLASS OF 1921 I ] NOTHER year has come up in the lottery of life. 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. B.
