And if by this volume we can create a mental image of student life at Cedarville in the minds of those who are not acquainted with it, we shall consider our labor in the preparation of this annual not to have been spent in vain. In the following pages we shall attempt to depict the student viewpoint of college life and affairs as registered in this, the year that marks the dawn of the new Cedarville College. 4 WILBUR W.

LEROY ALLEN, Faculty AdvUor 5 The Call of Cedarville College, and the Response THE CALL ON THE eleventh of July, ninteen-hundred and twenty-one, Cedar- ville College sent out a call for $200,000 for Building and Endow- ment Funds. One hundred thousand was to be expended on buildings and one hundred thousand was to be added to the present endowment fund. This would provide for the erection of a new gym- nasium, a new dormitory for girls, and the revamping of the Alford Memorial for a Science Hall. The former two buildings were to be erected on the campus on either side of College Hall. For eight weeks this call was kept before the friends of the College. Greene County, the Alumni, and the Reformed Presbyterian Church were thoroughly organized and given the opportunity to contribute to the funds. The plan calls for a campaign to cover five years, ending in July, 1926. No interest is charged on notes and pledges given. The notes and pledges are payable at such times during the five years as suit the convenience of the contributors. The Alumni are to raise $100,000 of the amount, and Cedarville and Greene County are to raise the remaining $100,000. THE RESPONSE During the eight weeks of the intensive campaign, last summer, $126,000 of the total amount was subscribed. Since that date more has been added to bring the amount up to $150,000. This leaves only $50,000 of the original sum to be raised during the next four years. Every indication seems to point not only to the raising of this amount, but even a larger sum. The loyalty manifested by Cedarville, Greene County, the Alumni and the many friends in the R. P. Church is most commendable. The largest personal contribution was made by W. J. Alford, who gave $20,000 to perpetuate the memory of his beloved father and mother, whose names are revered by a host of friends. Let everyone interested in the College continue to press the call until the last dollar is raised. 6 W. R. McCTIESNEY.

May glory and honor be theirs forever and a day. We have a wonderful faculty, exceptional from the fact of the variety that abounds in their midst. This is especially noticeable when we calculate the difference in weight of the columns of air misplaced by some few of them. But diversity ceases to exist when we consider the talents, especially the musical talents, of this noble band. Christine Miller and John McCormick are not in their class at all. Israfel would gladly give up his position if but one harmonious strain of their melo- dious renditions could reach his ear. Miss Flory, a product of Old Virginia, is the life of the College; the sudden burst of sunshine on the College winter day, always bring- ing good cheer and gladness to drive away the gloom. While shy Miss Brand, although somewhat retiring, is a real Klondike in herself. Her jewels are numberless and deep-set, and they sparkle out their bright and beautiful influence to all those who know her. We would all be lost without Jurkat and his company of jokes, peanuts and wrinkled apples. And Ccdarvillc College would be a dreary old place indeed, especially if we lost McElhinney and his ever- cheerful smile and his “Good Morning” to us. And Allen—well, he is the worry of us all. Me is the Busy Man, but never too busy to lend a helping hand to all who are in difficulties. I need not say that Dr. McChesney, our dear President, is the Hub of the College. He has gladly given his whole life to the great cause that is nearest and dearest to his heart. But he does not do this for the glory that is in it for him, for he could have reached the very zenith of fame if he had gone out into the world and sought it. But his glory is in the training of young men and young women in the way that they should go. And the characters that he builds day by day with the aid of his willing helpers are the living monuments that will never be de- stroyed, but will live throughout eternity and will proclaim aloud the deep impressions that have been made upon them. 16 J.

It is a very rare compound; and, even where it is found, the elements of which it is made are not of such excellent quality as we have here. They arc all wise scholars, and it is even whispered about that some of them are destined to flourish the rule in the school-room and make life miserable for the youngsters. And say, one of their young men will some day astonish the world and make the sun stand still with amusement when he reveals his scientific knowledge. Hut in spite of the fact that honor and glory await them, they arc exceedingly shy, and at the same time shrewd and gay beyond a doubt. EAGER are they to be efficient and excel in everything they do. They always make a lasting impression even on the front walk that has so faithfully served many students in the past quarter of a century. They have eminent ability, and earnestly desire to Build For Character, Not For Fame. NATURE-STUDY is a specialty among this elegant band. Very thorough in- vestigation of human nature guaranteed. You will not hesitate for a minute to agree with me that this is a notorious crowd, even to the great extent that they are the very nucleus of the college. IDLE ARE they not for one minute, but on the contrary they are diligent workers in nil college activities. Their intelligence and practical application of it arc in- comparable and unequaled. They bravely and cheerfully press forward to the goal, and ns they plod along, may their light so shine as to spread a lasting gleam and to illuminate the whole countryside, so far-reaching and so everlasting is theii influence. OR, NOW, if you desire to analyze carefully another essential clement of this compound, you will find that the Seniors arc original. Why, one member is such a perfect example of originality that no duplicate has ever been known to exist. They are not only original in themselves, but all they do or say is far beyond the thoughts or deeds of others. REMARKABLE is this class indeed, and reliable are the members thereof. Al- ways regardful of others and others’ rights, yet the ruler of them all. But, on the other hand, never domineering, but giving praise to those deserving praise and honor where honor is due. SO STAND the Seniors ever sincere, steadfnst and supreme. Always and forever faithful to their colors of Blue and White, emblems of purity and loyalty; loyalty to their class and above all loyalty to their dear old college. As the white snow reflects the golden sunlight in all its glory, and makes it sparkle and dazzle the eye, so their pure snow-white reflects the Orange, symbol of enlightening power and high ideals of Ccdarvillc College. Their Blues takes on a deeper, truer hue and they pledge their lives to the great cause of education and betterment of the world. R 29 Senior Class Poem “All good things must come to an en We have thot of this often of late; And tho about most things we’ve something to say We bow to this Action of Fate. Tho we hope for a crown when we’ve finished our course, And feel that we’ve fought a good fight, Before we can place this reward on our blccks The things we must do are a fright. We must buy dainty dresses And curl our long tresses We must dig in for themes and exams, We must give a class play And go thru Cedar Day And all of the time-honored shams. The four happy years have a sad termination, Our time for departure draws near, Hut there’s one sweet oasis— The Juniors shall place us At a table of banqueting cheer. And now, my dear readers, Since I have the floor I will give you a bit of good news— This is the last time that my rollicking rhyme You will on these pages peruse. You would not have seen this one But one windy morn This message was brot to my door: “My dear senior, your meter is poor It savors of countryside loam But none else will do it So you must ‘go to it’ And write us a class-ical pome.” 30 Alice Dairies. 32 pr S flM MM Nf SNI JV Arthur Cecil Ewbank (“Jack) Ccdarvillc, Ohio. “Ain’t it awful to be a lion among the ladies.” Florence Eleanor Smith (“Flossie”) Ccdnrvillc, Ohio. “Bid me discourse and I will en- chant thine car.” Wilbur Wallace White (“Preach”) Ccdarvillc, Ohio.

On our entrance into college, we had the honor of having the largest enrollment of any Freshman class in the history of the College. About this time the movement for a bigger and better Cedarville College com- menced, and the large number of this class proved to be a start and an inspiration for advancement. With this advantage over Freshman classes in general, more of our number were chosen to lead student activities. In plays, literary societies, athletics and in all other college movements we were well represented. As Sophomores, we still held the honor of having the largest class; and with the promising start of the preceding year, we advanced in all lines. We retained our record as the peppiest bunch of students, and put everything across in great shape that came our way. Advancing thru each year, we added to our record of successes. In interpreting the drama, the stars were Juniors; as athletes and man- agers, the majority were of our ranks; a Junior president and secretary of Orange and Blue; in councils our share was represented, and even our class president was a Junior. As Freshmen we furnished a start for a bigger and better College; as Sophomores we were an inspiration; as Juniors we strengthened our record, and as Seniors we will finish our course fittingly. M. E. D. 38 Junior Class Poem Wo belong to that fine Junior Class, And we sure have a good line of sass; So all other classes, Both laddies and lasses, When they see us all holler out “pass. We entered the fall of nineteen. They admitted then that we were keen. In using our heads And in breaking up spreads The like around here was not seen. We started with carloads of pep. In town we still have a good (?) rep. That’s the way it should be; So you easily see, Other classes should please watch our step. Upon some of our spreads they do frown. We stay out so late about town; But though we’re so gay. We’ll reach heaven some day, Though none of us yet has his crown. In our bunch we have warblers galore; nd our athletes run up near the score. In all that we do We’re a mighty fine crew, And you surely can’t ask for much more. In closing 1 think you’ll admit As hot stuff we’re certainly “it.” In picking up knowledge Anri boosting the college We surely are doing our bit. “Preach” White. (Poetic license apnlied for) 39 40 Class 42 Sophomore Class History ON SEPTEMBER 16, 1020, was born in Cedarville College the class of 1024. Young, happy, and inexperienced; thus we began our college days. Though our boys suffered as one must, when an inexperienced barber applies his scissors to one’s hair; and the girls were teased and laughed at; our Freshman days passed quickly and happily by. Only about half of these merry Freshmen returned as Sophomores the following fall, but our number was increased by several new students. Our class does its share in all activities of the College; as musicians we have Lucille Johnson and George Coleman; as athletes, ‘‘Bill” Riddell, Donald Wickerham, and “Chris” Kyle; as actors, Marion Stormont and Arthur Findley. We have been, we are, and we always will be a source of great comtort to our professors; and it is not a strange thing to find that the leaders of many classes are Sophomores. Though we must favor our own class, we love the whole college and every class in it, and we will try to help whenever we can. When the golden sun is setting And we’re feeling mighty blue, Won’t we feel a great deal better If we know there’re others, too, Who recall the days together In the good old college true? When we think of our professors, And the patience that they showed Toward us all whene’er we met them With our trials and our woes; Will we not in silent pleasure Thank God and old Alma Mater? T. M.

Registration day in the morning. Blades of Grass appear. Maurice J. Brown chief Blade. Scene II: The next morning. In the chapel. Class meeting called. Plans made for “Grass” spread. Scene III: “Grasses” meet on Collins farm. Attempt of “Weeds” to crush the Grasses.” Complete downfall and withering of the “Weeds.” Grasses” slightly clipped, only to spring up again with renewed vigor. Scene IV: Another “Grass” meeting on the Cummings farm. Collapse. Act II Scene I: Same as Act I. Two bobbed blades and three full grown blades enter the Grass family. CONCLUSION To all of those who arc fortunate enough in life to read this little episode, s’� rely they will be helped and enlightened to hear of the great influence that the Grass family has had upon the activities of the College. On the football team and basketball squads the Grass blades flourish more than any other class. Both yell leaders were chosen from the Grass family. In the annual College play a Blade had the lending part. In the Bible reading contest another Blade won second place. In the Rangers Club more Blades take part than Weeds of other classes. Still another Blade won a Cedrus for having the best written short story. These are only a few of the great accomplishments of the Blades of Grass.” But in all classes they out- shine the “Weeds” for verdancy. 49 A. B. and H. W. Tip Top Freshmen Oh, we are the Freshmen of ’22. Just tell us something we can't do. In classes you may see us shine, And in having spreads we’re not behin’ For them, although in number rather few, Much praise now unto us is due. At cartooning Paullin is a shark, And Dot can sing just like a lark. Hemphill and White arc from far Illinois, Davis and Arthur arc basketball boys. These talented friends bring joy to our hearts When with others they perform their parts. Because of the desire for great knowledge, Fpring Valley sends many to our College. This year it sends Smith, Collins and Copscy. A Junior thinks much of our Caskey. Many tunes come from Wilma and Mary, And Ruth may be seen with President Larry. Donna and Lillian are all star “bawlcrs,” Hannah and Lillian always have callers. We have told you of some who love sport, And next come those who to lessons resort. Studious are Shinkle and Hildebrand, While Brownie heard the call to the Army band Louise and Harriet arc deep in a book, While Mary for her brother is cook. These three friends few secrets ever tell. Fresh from the farm come Stover and Snell. Lloyd and Frazier are two quiet lads, Who never take up with any new fads. Now we shall mention a few of our “pears,” Who have a good time and cast away cares. “Walk” is attached to our girl from Boss, And Hazel without Jack is at a loss. Isabel oft has Main occasions.” From Wills, Avanolle receives attentions. Oh, we are the Freshmen of '22, Now tell us something we can't do. We strive for ideals high, for honor vie, Although the path does not easy lie. The best of life’s finest is our aim. And soon we’ll be anchored in hails of fame. M. B. P. C. 50 -J 51 i 52 Cedarville Theological Seminary r HE Theological Seminary of the Reformed Presbyterian Church (General Synod) of North America is one of the oldest institutions for the professional training of young men for the gospel ministry in the United States. The Seminary was organized May 25, 1810. As in the case of many similar institutions, it had a small beginning. The Rev. Samuel B. Wylie, of Philadelphia, was its first and for many years its only pro- fessor. The number of students was comparatively large. From this small beginning the Seminary has grown, until today it is one of the mightiest forces within the small denominations for the training of young men. The Reformed Theological Seminary saw its birth in Philadelphia. After a few years of service it was removed to New York City, where Dr. John N. McLeod was elected Professor of Theology. After three years of service in that city, the Seminary was against removed to Phila- delphia, where it remained until 1918, when it was removed to its pres- ent location. The moving of the Seminary lo Cedarville, where it is in close con- tact with Cedarville College, was the result of a vision on the part of the educators of our church. And the result has been that many young men having come to the College, have been led, by the presence of the Seminary, to enter upon its courses and give their lives to some definite Christian work. The Seminary has a strong Faculty and maintains a high standard of scholarship, it believes with the Puritan Divine, Thomas Adams, that, “A minister without learning is a mere cypher which fills up a place, and increaseth the number, but signifies nothing.” The faculty is at present made up of the following members: Rev. Wilbert R. McChesney, A. M., Ph. D., I).I)., President of the College and Dean and Professor of Systematic and Pastoral Theology in the Seminary; Rev. Frank Albert Jurkat, A. M., LL. D., Processor of Old Testament language and Literature; Rev. Leroy Allen, A. M., Professor of Homiletics, Biblical Theology, Archaeology and Sociology. For over a century, with brief intermissions, the Seminary has continued its noble work. The results of its labors are not to be looked for merely in the bounds of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, but in many other denominations, whose ranks in leadership have from time to time been increased by the graduates from the Cedarville Theological Seminary. Any young man seeking t raining for the work in His Kingdom, may find an open door at Cedarville, where, under the leadership of conse- crated Christian men, he will find his life’s purpose deepening and his vision continually widening. I). Harold Hammond. The Minstrel AMONG the many interesting and talented entertainments promul- gated by the college, stands the “minstrel,” given in the Opera L Mouse, March the twenty-fifth. The “minstrel” cast was composed of those of genuine musical talent, experienced actors and actresses, and comedians, and all that goes to make up a very presentable theatrical party. The audience rose in roars of laughter as the end-men demon- strated their wit and humor. They represented four “colored gentle- men” who were in great perplexity concerning their relations to their fellow, and their fellow men’s melon patch. The program was divided into two parts, the first part being a one-act farce, and the second part the “minstrel” proper; black-face end-men, negro songs, and plenty of “hot” jokes on any and everybody. In the jokes no one was spared, not even the most dignified could hope to get exemption from the feeling that a deck of playing cards might be pulled out of the pocket of their Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes and thus hold them up to the gaze of the assembled populace as men who lead the double life. As a whole the entire performance measured up to the “minstrels” of previous years, both in quality and quantity, and although these per- formances as a college activity had been discontinued for some years previous, we hope that the example set by the 1921 minstrel show will be continued in the years to come. 57 G. S. R. 58 College Athletics IN THE American College and University more attention is given to the physical activities of the men and women today than ever be- fore. This is due to the fact that we have come to know that the best work is done by the man or woman who has a well trained mind and gives this mind support thru a well developed body. To succeed in life now, one must be a whole man or a whole woman; and such they cannot be unless they are fully developed. Cedarville College must be abreast of the times. Hence, during the last year, there has been introduced a modern system of Coaching, working toward this end. The best system of Coaching has two chief ends in view. (1) To place well trained teams in the field to meet in the inter-scholastic contests and games; and (2) to give physical in- struction to every person in the College whether he is in the various teams or not. I need not tell you how well this has been accomplished, but suffice it to say that the present plan has given more training to more men and women than any other plan yet conceived. The greatest gain to the College does not come thru simply win- ning all the games or contests. But the finest asset is to have men and women who know fair play, who recognize fine sportsmanship, who meet on the athletic field as Christian gentlemen, and wherever they go have upon them the stamp of fine ideals learned in preparation for the contest. Cedarville College will always give physical training to its men and women. It will strive to give the best of training; and whether we win or lose in the game of life, we will always play fair, because our College taught clean, fair, Christian Athletics. Rev. V. E. Busier. 50 1921 Gridiron Notes IN THE last ten years, football has been practically unheard of at Cedarville College, and of course has had no place whatsoever in the athletic program. Last year, however, when the idea of having a resident coach was noised abroad, all hands “hove to,” and we put on a very enthusiastic campaign for football funds and spirit. We gathered money from the four winds; we talked football in chapel, on the campus, and in our rooms. We went in mass to see some neighboring high schools and colleges play the game, and quite a few attended games at Ohio State University. Early in September, 1921, this new spirit was carried on the field by some of the same men who boosted the campaign for the game. New students were attracted in this way, who proved to be very essential parts of the squad later on. Coach Blackburn labored hard to whip this bunch of “rookies” into shape, which was no easy task, considering that two-thirds of the men who came out for a trial had never played the game before. The first game was played with Rio Grande College; and, although we were green and didn’t play like “old vets,” we certainly gained a lot of good experience and profited by it. The second game was with Antioch College; and, although we lost to the tune of 7-0, we were encouraged a great deal in this game, and our hopes did not fade in the least. The old spirit was there to stay. Our opponents in the third game of the season were the Quakers at Wilmington. They were too much for us; but we succeeded in push- ing the pigskin back of the posts once, which was more than a surprise to the Wilmington gridders and fans. Scoring on Wilmington was not an easy task, so we took courage again; and, although we were fair- ly beaten, we were not squelched. The fourth game was on the home gridiron on Armistice Day. It was the talk of the town for weeks before and after the game. The 60 field was in terrible condition because of the inclement weather, and the spectators were fewer than we had anticipated; but they gave us the moral support in sufficient quantity to help greatly in the game. Every man on the team showed up well in this home game, and proved to Cedarvillites that they were made of the real stuff. We outplayed Antioch this time at all stages of the game, which ended with a score of two to nothing in our favor. The final game was played with Defiance College at Defiance on Thanksgiving Day. This, too, was a hard-fought game, featuring many spectacular plays in spite of the muddy field. We were beaten again, but we have reason to be proud of the team for the good spirit maintained throughout the entire season, and for the way the team de- veloped (under the direction of a whole-hearted and efficient coach) into a real squad playing each game better than the previous one. We hope for bigger and better things next year. G. L. M. The Future TIIE athletic appeal of Cedarville College is today practically negligible outside of Greene county. The majority of the high school athletes in this county will develop only so far as to make good on the smaller college teams. A few may be university material, but not many. It is but natural that a man select that school upon whose teams he thinks he can play. As the old saying goes: ‘Rather a big duck in a little pond than a small one in a big pond.” If there be a place for the small college—and all seem to agree that there is—then there is a place for her teams. For the coming year Cedarville College should concentrate on bringing in these athletes from this and surround- ing counties. In addition to this there should be secured an outstand- ing player for each of the major sports. One man might be all we need if he be an all-round athlete. Such a man requires careful handling. He should not dominate, but rather around him would be built the foundation for the team system of play. Such men were Devine of Iowa, and Oss of Minnesota. The college needs equipment to outfit amply as many as will come out to help make her teams. A second or third string man gets but little besides the knocks of the varsity, and he certainly should receive his share of the equipment. After all, the scrubs make the first team. Cedarville College students need a new spirit. In a word—culti- vate self-sacrifice, do not be afraid to work a little, do not stand on the side-lines waiting to applaud a successful team, but get in and help make it. This school is too small for many bystanders. And lastly—those in charge of the athletic policy need to realize that success in intercollegiate competition will be the biggest advertise- ment the institution can secure. 61 J. H. Blackburn.

Lawrence “Larry” Currie Forward A good passer and a consistent shot. 64 The Season In the Court HR basketball season of 1921-1022 has furnished its full quota of thrills and surprises: With the boys’ team, the thrill of the joys of victory for the other team, and the thrill of surprise and defeat to the College and community because they lost. Fortunately we had a girls' team that knew how to reverse that process and so we were presented with all kinds of thrills. If variety is the spice of life, we have had plenty of spice in the last season and ought to be satisfied. But college students seem to be so constituted that they are never satisfied unless all their teams win all their games; and (hough our girls' team nearly reached that goal, our boys’ team fell so far short that we are far from content. We do not wish to leave the impression, however, that we are en- tirely dissatisfied with our boys’ team. The team, taken as individuals, is made up of really good players; and, although handicapped at the start with the neccessity of learning a new system of play, it has shown steady improvement. Indeed, from the results of the last three games played, we draw the conclusion that the team was just rounding into its stride at the end of the season. The players are to be recommended also for their spirit in the games. Every man played his best and gave everything he had for the team. It was only in the failure to carry some of the same spirit, of giving the college and the team their best, away from the floor and through the intervals between the games, that we would criticise some of the players. For several years past the girls’ team has been the shining light in Ccdarville Athletic history. To date they have lost only two games out of a total of nine played, and one of those losses was amply re- venged when Wilmington played her return game. Like the boys’ team, the girls’ team has shown steady improvement. The spirit of the girls is especially commended, for they have set the boys an example of faith- fulness and devotion to the team from the start. In the last statement the whole squad is referred to, and not the team alone, for the team could not have been what it is today except for the girls who came regularly to practice, even though they could not make the team. In conclusion, we can only say that it is the hope of the whole student body that the experience and the hard knocks of the season will be remembered and used as stepping stones toward winning teams next year.

From the standpoint of experience gained and spirit developed it was a success. There was some good ma- terial, but until the latter part of the season the teamwork was not spectacular. Some very amusing errors were committed. The lack of a coach was keenly felt. The outstanding feature of nearly all the games was the pitching. Harry Wright pitched brilliant ball and was ably relieved by Arthur. A fact worthy of note was that Cedarville knocked out a total of 99 hits, while the opponents could only garner a total of 70. The most memorable game of the season was the home game with Wilmington. Wilmington having defeated us 11-0 over there, was full of confidence. Neither side reached second base for three innings, but in the fourth Carl Duncan drove the horsehide into the cedar trees in right field for a home run. For three more innings neither side scored. Wilmington finally won because of errors, but did not get an earned run. This year with good coaching we are looking for big things from some of the old players.

C. 69 Tennis THE Tennis Association of Cedarville College met in September, 1921, and elected Harold I . Myers, president and Marjorie I). McClellan secretary-treasurer, for the year 1921-1922. The pur- pose of the association is to secure funds for the maintenance of the courts. Cedarville College has two ideal double tennis courts lying side by side, in the northeast corner of the campus. One is a grass court and the other a dirt court. There are several large shade trees around the court, which shade or partially shade the courts at various times dur- ing the day, making a set of tennis a real pleasure in spite of the heat of the day. Many students gathered on these courts in friendly rivalry during the autumn months, realizing the value of tennis as recreation and good sport. While here, they could forget the gloom of the class-room and the calamity of unprepared lessons. In the spring of 1922, the Tennis Association hopes to develop enough stars to enter into matches with neighboring colleges; and from the present outlook a very good team can be found to represent C. C. H. P. M. The Y. W. C. A. npHE Y. W. C. A. has flourished unusually well this year. The membership has ■ been largo, the meetings interesting and well attended. In co-operation with the Y. M. C. A., at the beginning of the year we gave n “feed” to the faculty and student body, in honor of the new students. Many of the lonely and unfortunate people of the village were cheered by our Thanksgiving baskets. At Christmas time, the girls took pleasure in buying and dressing dolls for several of the children of the village. The Y. W. is growing with the College. We are sure that the coming year will be even more successful. L. A. D. 73 The Y. M. C. A. THE Young Men’s Christian Association of Ccdnrville College was organized in 1906. Since that time the aim of building up the three-fold nature of men—body, mind, and spirit—has been held high. The increased number of boys in our student body this year has brought new life into the meetings held each Wednesday morning. We are glad to state that a good majority of the boys have united with us in our Association, and in our at- tempts to be of mutual helpfulness. We are certainly thankful for this evidence of consecration on the part of many of the boys. The growth of this spirit has been greatly augmented by the inspiring and helpful talks that have been brought to us from time to time. Rev. Vinton E. Busier, who is a friend of every boy in the College, brought a message concerning the Prophets of the Old Testament.” Rev. W. A. Vorhis, Pastor of the Methodist Epis- copal Church, Greenville, Ohio, brought a most helpful message to us, while he was in our midst conducting an evangelistic campaign. Mr. F. Guy Strickland, Lecturer and Preacher, explained to us somewhat the principles which must underlie ‘‘Limita- tion of Armament.” And another speaker of merit, and one who has a heart full of love for every student of Cedarville College, was Dr. .1. Alvin Orr. He came to us twice in joint meetings of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., speaking on “Making Use of the Common Things of Life,” and the Problems of the Present Day.” And Doctor, we surely do appreciate those heart-searching and soul-strengthening messages, so come again! The Y. M. C. A. Stuff for the present year is as follows: President, .1. Edwin Bradfute; Vice President, M. Earle Collins; Secretary, Arthur W. Findley; and Treasurer, Riley W. Clarke. 74 E. D. M. The Orange and Blue Literary Society A LITTLE over n half decade ago the Philosophic and Philadelphian Literary So- - cietics were fused into one, which took the name of “The Orange and Blue.” This society stands for the development of the students and friends of Ccdarvillc Col- lege in literature and music and its presentation to the public. During the school year of 1921-1922 the society has done splendid work. Nearly every student has Liken an active part in the programs which have been held in the college chapel every two weeks, on Monday nights. It is the splendid spirit of will- ingness to work and co-operate with the officers of the society that hns worked for the success of the society as a whole. The work of the society is both helpful and interesting. A journal is read at each meeting which gives the important event� of the foregoing days and also the personals which prove to be very humorous. The work enables the students to use their initiative and develop the power to feel at ease before an audience. The society offers great opportunities to the students for training along these lines, and they are grasping them. During the last school year they have shown a real spirit of eagerness and sincerity in the work, and it has made for the most success- ful year that the society has ever had. 75 A. C. E.

BILL Smith and Dick Mo reton were as thick as two peas in a pod. It was funny, too, because they had been hardly more than acquaintances during their first three years at school, and some of us couldn’t quite understand their sudden friendship. We knew, though, that the Smiths and Moretons had spent the summer together in the mountains; so we supposed that I'ill and Dick had just naturally be- come better acquainted up there. They were both good fellows, too. Bill was cap- tain of the Riverside football team and one of the best tackles we ever had; and Dick, president of the senior class, was probably the most popular boy in school. He wasn’t any slouch of a football player, either; and if it hadn’t, been for Al Jenson, he would have been quarterback on the varsity. For three years he and Al had waged a battle royal, and it. was almost a toss-up between them. As far as actual playing was concerned, Dick was probably a shade the better; but Al was one of those rare players who can inspire other fellows to play at top speed from the first whistle to the last. His fighting spirit and his ability to make a team fight gave him the call over Dick. Dick would have given a good deal for a regular place on the Riverside Varsity, but we didn’t realize just how much it meant to him until he told us about it one evening in the early fall when a hunch of us were gathered in his room. It’s this way,’’ he said, My Dad never went in for athletics when lie was a kid, and now he’s sort of crazy on the subject. He told me just before I came down that if I won out this year, he’d take me Fast with him when he goes there next sum- mer on a business trip. I suppose he thinks it will make me play harder.” Dick smiled. He doesn’t know anything about school spirit and things like that,” he added apologetically. But just the same, I sure would like to go East with him.” The rest of us nodded sympathetically, all but Bill, who sat looking out of the window, a curious light in his eyes. None of us thought anything about it just then; but when the season began and the battle between Al and Dick was renewed, it oc- curred to me that maybe that look on Bill’s face had meant something, after all. For when the first scrimmage of the season was held, Dick started as quarter for the varsity and Al was on the scrubs. It didn’t make much difference then; the first games on the schedule were easy ones, anyhow, and it wouldn’t matter one way or the other if even a third class man directed the team. But in view of the sudden friendship between Bill and Dick, it looked just a little queer, especially since the captain had the final word in selecting the players on all Riverside teams, and the coach could only advise him. We played our first game with Dick at quarter. Although twenty out of the thirty points were made in the third quarter when Al went in, the play on the whole was satisfactory. If Dick had been obviously inferior to the other boy, we would have met and told Bill just what we thought of things; but Dick was really a mighty fine quarter, and a good many of the fellows in the school believed that he was Al’s equal in both generalship and all-round ability. It was only the members of the team who under- stood the true situation. One of the strangest parts of it all was the fact that Dick was ignorant of any- thing unusual going on. He really thought that he was playing better football than AI and that he had made the team on merit alone. As the season progressed we won every game. The last game was with Glendale, 77 It was no doubt to bo our hardest game, for Glendale had been scoring just as many victories as we had. By this time even the players had forgotten their misgivings and looked toward the Glendale game with much well-merited confidence. As the last week of the season approached and we gathered together all the loose ends of our play, we seemed to miss A1 less and less. We had become accustomed to Dick’s methods of play, and there was no doubt that he fitted well into the machine- like precision of the team. On the day before the game, Dick’s father came down; one could see by a single glance that he was just about tickled to death over Dick’s achievements. lie told us that if his son should lead the Riverside team to victory, he would he the proudest man in the world. We were all hanging around in the dressing-room when he said it; and somehow or other just at that moment 1 happened to glance at Bill Smith. There was a light in Bill’s eves which I couldn’t quite understand; it seemed to ex- press satisfaction over a good deed done, and at the same time just a hint of doubt as fo the wisdom of it. At the very start of the game it looked as if the question would he decided right away, for Riverside started off with a bang, taking the ball on the kick-off and ad- vancing it in a series of short dashes well past the center of the field. Our attaek was smooth and precise, with a well-developed power which for a time threatened to sweep everything before it. But suddenly, when we were apparently at the very height of our game, Glendale braced, and almost before we realized it, it was fourth down with two yards to go. But even then we didn't really worry about it, for we had been making three and four yards each time; and Dick decided, without a conference, to rush the ball rather than lose it on a punt. He barked out his signals, and we threw all the force of our attack into a desperate stab off-tackle. The Glendale lino rose up to meet us, the teams clashed, and a whistle blew. But when the referee untangled the mass of play- ers and turned to where the head linesman was standing, he waved his hand toward the Riverside end of the field. We had failed to make the distance by almost a yard. That final punch which A1 Jenson had always managed to draw out of us had been lacking. We had lost the ball on downs and only two yards to go. In the few seconds which we waited for the other team to commence its offense, I believe every player grasped the significance of our failure, Captain Bill included. Then the Glendale team threw itself against our line. The Riverside forwards, uncertain and just a little puzzled, gave away involun- tarily; and a half slipped thru for a clean twelve yards. Then we braced. They were forced to punt, but we could make no steady advance. The players began to feel that they were being cheated, that the one man who could bring them to the height of their effectiveness was being kept out of the game unfairly. They played hard, giving freely of their strength and skill; but ns the game con- tinued, their efforts slackened unconsciously. Gradually Glendale forced its way down the field, gaining ground on every exchange of punts, pushing us bnck until we stood in the very shadow of our goal posts. And then, with Dick standing beneath the crossbar, his face pale and his husky voice framing vague urgings, they gathered themselves for one final drive and sent their halfback squirming, twisting his way over the line for n touchdown. A minute later they missed goal and the score stood six to nothing in their favor. That was the only score of the half. A few minutes later the whistle blow, and we trotted to the dressing-rooms to throw ourselves wearily upon the benches and listen to the words of the conch. He told us of our mistakes and the chances we had lost, but we paid only indif- ferent attention to what he was saying. No one said a word; wc just sat there and waited for the intermission to end. And then, for some reason or other, I think it was to get a new shoe-lace, Dick stepped into an adjoining room. The tension snapped. Men moved about restlessly, mumbling to one another; until finally Ted Andrews, our center, voiced the one thought uppermost in all our minds. If A1 was only in the game, he said, “we’d wallop the tar out of them. Dick can’t get us going. ' Perhaps he spoke louder than he intended, or perhaps he raised his voice pur- (Continucd on Page 117) 78 The Rangers Club THE latest organization to be established is the Rangers Club. Those who in previous years have assisted in the campaigns for new students have been met on every side with the questions—Where is Cedarville College? What kind of a college is it? Why don’t we hear more about it? In order to answer these questions and to arouse some enthusiasm for our college, this club has been organized. The Rangers Club functions on Fridays. It is then that we assemble at some con- venient place shortly after the noon hour and pack ourselves into the three waiting automobiles, which carry us more or less comfortably to our destination. We specialize in High Schools, for one of our purposes is to in- terest prospective students in the advantages of a higher education. The coming of the Rangers is heralded throughout that community by the High School pupils living there, and upon our arrival, we usually find an enthusiastic crowd assembled. In presenting our program, we believe that one of our greatest assets is variety. There are fifteen members of the club, and each is prepared with three or four numbers of entertainment or instruction, and we pride ourselves on being able to give a good program varying in length from fifteen minutes to four hours, and in character from the sublime to the ridiculous. Our program contains an address by Dr. Mc- Chesney, selections by the male quartette, duets, a couple of short talks, a great variety of readings, a one-act play, and all the pep that we can put. into our college songs and yells. The members of this organization are well repaid for their efforts, for besides the pleasure derived from the trips and the applause of the stage we are fed at the expense of the college, and any restaurant or soda fountain owner whom we have visited can testify that we are most aggressive at the table. It takes time to reap the fruits of our efforts, but if the pleased expression upon the faces of our audiences and their applause is an in- dication of their attitude toward old C. C., then the Rangers Club has attained some degree of success. H. B. 79 LET’S EAT The College Club ry- HE College Boarding Club was started several years ago. It had about thirty-five members in the spring of 1020, when the club was located at the home of Miss Margaret Alexander. Last year Mr. Paul Duncan obtained the services of Mrs. Clara Morton as matron for the Club and hence the Club was moved to Mrs. Morton’s residence. 'I'he Club last year had about forty members. At the close of the second semester last year, Mr. George Colman was elected steward for the first semester ot the year 1021-22, but as Mr. Colman had a chance to room and board with his brother, he re- signed in favor of his assistant, George Moore, who was elected to serve for the second semester also. With the growth of the College, the Club naturally increased in membership; hence it was necessary to secure larger rooms to accom- modate the members, which have been on an average of forty-five throughout the year. Mrs. Morton, being the matron again this year, obtained the use of the College Library basement with kitchen and dining hall. It was soon realized that the quarters would be too cramped and congested immediately before and after the meal period; so the Ad- visory Board secured the use of the adjoining room of the basement for a rest and recreation room. Furniture was secured for this room from the College and interested friends. The expenses were met by the proceeds of an oyster supper held in the basement of the Reformed Presbyterian Church. We are glad to have the Club for the better friendships and good fellowship which we are able to enjoy. We find that it brings the mem- bers closer together and lets each know better the fine qualities of his associates. G. B. M. 81 The Alumni THE past year was the most critical one in the history of Cedarville College, when it was determined whether the college would con- tinue to exist or not. It was a critical one for the Alumni, too, when they were weighed in the balance and not found wanting. In the fight that was waged to save the College, the Alumni figured very largely. A meeting to arouse enthusiasm was held in the Opera House at the outset of the campaign; and a number of Alumni, among other prominent speakers of Cedarville and vicinity, gave stirring ad- dresses in behalf of the College and told what Cedarville College meant to them in eloquent terms. The Alumni speakers of the evening were: Dr. J. Alvin Orr, ’07; Dr. Wallace Iliffe, 1000; Attorney Joseph Finney, ’06; Dr. James McQuilkin, ’08, and Dr. W. R. Graham, '05. Two of these, Dr. Orr and Dr. Graham, pledged themselves at this meeting to be responsible for the raising of $10,000 each. The Alumni Endowment Committee held a meeting in Carnegie Library December 28, 1020, and voted for the Cedarville College Alumni Association to set for its objective, the raising of $100,000 Alumni Endowment Fund, and a challenge to the denomination of the Reformed Presbyterian Church and the community in and around Cedarville to raise an equal amount for building and equipment. Throughout the whole campaign, the Alumni have supported the College loyally, not only with their generous subscriptions, but with their untiring efforts to influence others to give to this noble cause. And in the future, it need never be questioned what a large place their Alma Mater holds in the hearts of the Alumni. M. E. B. The Ideals of a Small College OHIO is tlu Mother of Presidents and the Paradise of Small Colleges. In li 20 the candidates of both great parties and the candidate of one of the minor parties hailed from this commonwealth. This only emphasized the fact that by far the greater number of chief executives of this nation were either born in Ohio or elected when citizens thereof, than has been the case with any other state. Ohio also has more colleges than any other state; over fifty institutions grant the bachelor’s degree. Is there no connection between these two laurels of honor worn by the state? They are cause and effect. The small college makes for independence of character, efficiency, practicality, the ability to get things done. In the small school every student is known, and known well, both to teachers and to fellow-students. There- fore, to stand well in his little world, the student must eradicate from his make-up all shoddy material. He must be what he seems. This thorough, radical reconstruction of his character, undergone in the formative period, is wlmt makes the MAN who in after life must meet the fierce tests of competition. In larger institutions a student may shine in certain aspects; and, because only small facets of his character are exposed to view, can at the same time be developing hidden weaknesses that afterwards unfit him for life’s battles, however brilliant his attainments in some particulars. Students are treated in the mass and sprinkled liberally with the culture that is supposed to prepare them for life. In the small school the useless and cumbering branches are pruned away and those things are grafted securely in that cannot help hut make the fruit good. Again, the small colleges rake the fence corners for likely talent that the larger schools despise. And talent that in larger schools is neglected, because more showy talent outshines it, is in the smaller college utilized and developed. Hut this slower talent that is crowded out in the student’s activities and even in the class room work of the large college, is more lasting and substantial. In after life it, and not the other, gets results. Then, in larger schools, it is organization and numbers that count. In the small college, it is personal effort and personality and knowledge of human nature that count. Hut, contrary to common opinion, those arc the great motive forces of life. The close personal contacts of the small school are the best preparation for the activities of the world. The danger of the small college is provincialism. Those who attend are usually of one race, social class, nationality, faith, ami practice. They are likely to think too much alike; and, in so doing, to imagine that all who differ from them arc wrong. This, however, is an evil that can be escaped. Touchers and pupils should guard against narrow-mindedness and selfish exclusiveness. It can he done. Jesus lived in a little country not as large as one of our states, hut his mind went hack to the early sages and prophets of his race, forward to “the end of the age, upward far above the stars, downward into the depths of the universal human heart, outward to the sheep of every fold. Hy cultivating reverence for truth wherever found, unselfish love for humankind, and devotion to the Father of all, the student in the small college can he as cosmopolitan as any trained in the great universities. And though he sees widely, his individuality is not dwarfed by the bigness of the universe; but, having mastered his microcosm, the small college, it goes forth to conquer other worlds, expanded, quickened, hardened, and tempered to meet every foe. Therefore, tlu graduate of the small college survives when others fail. 84 Prof. Leroy Allen. CEDARVILLE COLLEGE PLAY Tuesday Evening, December 13, 1921 OPERA HOUSE “In Walked Jimmie —By Minnie Z.

With the in- crease in the student body, the activities have naturally increased both in numbers and in importance; but the control of these larger activities is still vested in the hands of a few individuals, thus giving rise to a situation which is neither desirable nor healthy. From the entire student body there are probably not more than fifteen from either sex who are actively engaged in the control of stu- dent activities. From these thirty people are selected, with but few ex- ceptions, the class president, the Y. M. and Y. W. cabinets, the casts for college plays, the members of the Rangers Club, the members of every athletic squad, and the promoters and officials of very activity spon- sored by the college. Such a situation not only places a great load of responsibility on the shoulders of a few, but so divides their time and energy among several organizations as to prohibit the efficient control of any of them. The cause of this situation is not the cliquing together of any group of students, nor is it the lack of ability on the part of the members of the rest of the student body, but rather a lack of active in- terest in the control of these organizations, coupled with a lack of will- ingness (on the part of some) to serve in official positions which would subtract from the sum total of the time which they wish to give to other interests. In some schools there is a system incorporated into the regulations of the student body, whereby merit points of varying degree are given to students in control of student activities in proportion to the responsi- bility involved. No student is allowed to receive over a certain number of merit points. Thus the burdens of responsibility are borne on many shoulders, the dangers of “clique” control are eliminated, and student activities can be efficiently managed, without detracting, to a material degree, from the time necessary for the preparation of classroom work. We dare to suggest the adoption of some system of this kind into the regulations governing the student body of Cedarville College. J. E. Bradfute—Editor. 86 The C. E. Reception QN September eighth, the annual reception, which the Christian En- deavor Society gives new students, was held in the Reformed Pres- byterian Church. The affair was the first social event of the college year, for up to this time there had been few chances for new students to get acquainted. It certainly aided in forming new acquaintances. Several new couples strutted forth to this reception. Many interesting games were played and several contests were enjoyed. Delicious refreshments of ice cream and cake were served. An especially interesting game was one in which a slip of paper and a pencil were handed to each person present. In five minutes the person who had the greatest number of autographs won the prize. At a late hour the students departed, all rejoicing in the fine time they had at the first social event of the season. H. L. M. The Lecture Course 'T'lIE members of the Selection Committee for the Cedarville Lecture Course of the season 1921-22 evidently decided that Cedarville should be given great advantages, which is proven by the program which they selected for the season. This program showed a wise and wide choice, including in its scope the following: A poet, a reader, two musical companies and a theatre party. It is quite safe to presume that no lecture course in the past has excelled this. The opportunity of having a real live poet, reading his own works, is one that rarely comes the way of a community of the size of Cedarville. The people of Cedar- ville have in the past proved themselves to be desirous of the best of everything; they have a critical taste which is hard to please. This course wras evidently planned with that idea in mind, and we are sure it did not fail to please all who took advantage of it. 88 W. F. W. Hallowe’en Social E'OR various reasons Hallowe’en Eve 1921 is a never-to-be-lorgotten 1 night to the students and faculty of old C. C. To the girls, the main event of the evening was the party given for them by the boys. Our gym (you wouldn’t have recognized it) was turned into a gayly-lighted ballroom where creatures of various forms and makeups frolicked and romped in true Hallowe’en style. It was a very select crwd; only those who could climb the ladder to the second story window of the gym were admitted. It is rumored though, that this firm and dreadful decree was waived in the case of two young ladies who came to the party dressed as one clown. We don’t know just how much it took to bribe the doorkeepers, but we do know that they did not come in through tl� e window. After a long evening of games, contests and good eats, we voted the boys “real entertainers” and resolved that next year we would have to do some “tall hustling” if we were to put on a party equal to this one. P. S. It is rumored that several days after the above party, someone discovered that there had been some cider left over. Nuff Sed ! M. W. Cedar Day Happenings TT WAS on one of those fine June days that it all happened, a better ■ day for the exercises could not have been chosen. The day was ideal, being neither too hot, nor was it stormy. The crowd began to gather on the campus early and it was evident that the people of the community appreciated Cedar Day from the size of the crowd. It was said to be the largest crowd that had ever gathered on the campus in the history of the institution. Also the program that was given was declared to have been the best ever. It was intended to picture before our minds, America yesterday and today. The first episode consisted of the spirit of Indian Days, the second episode was the spirit of the Wilderness, and the third episode consisted of the spirit of Patriotism, that which enlivens every true-blooded American. Then Miss Helen Stewart was crowned May Queen, after which the May Pole Dance was given. The oration of the day was given by Nelson Thorn and in it he sought to show what the college meant to the community. All those who had earned letters in any kind of athletics came forward and Mr. Roger Collins very appropriately presented them with their letters. At the noon hour a beautiful sight was to be seen as one looked across the campus and saw the different groups enjoying their basket- dinners. The main event of the afternoon was the baseball game be- tween Cedarville and Antioch. 89 R. W. S. Daily Happening at “Old C. C Sept. 7.—College opened with an address by Dr. Bauslin.

Her eyes of blue— And sweet rosy cheeks, Set my mind whirling, My heart missing beats. I sure get the blues, When leave 1 must. I’d ask for her heart, Had I the crust. M (6irl Here’s to the girl with lots of pep. Oodles of beauty and a lively step. Mark her up as a great success, She’ll stand the trials of any test. I’d do or die for a girl like that. Take notice men—off comes my hat. Such a girl I sure would like to wed, With the consent of one named Ed. 92 BOOK VII JOKES Prize Joke Submitted by E. B. B. Heard while practicing for “In Walked Jimmie McKune: Ethel, where are you going? Miss Brand: To Dayton to get you a wig. 93 Editor's Note: We make no apologies for mentioning or failing to mention anyone in this section—time and space do not permit. There are over one hundred people intimately connected with the college, about all of whom jokes might be printed. Mathematically speaking, if combinations of jokes were written about each person there would have to be over one hundred thousand separate items in this section of the Cedrus. The cost of printing makes such a situation an impossibil- ity. Moreover, we disclaim all responsibility for the truthfulness of the jokes herein contained. If any of our “gentle readers” chance to be possessed of a sensitive disposition we advise them not to peruse the fol- lowing pages. “SMILE, AND T1IE WOULD SMILES WITH YOU” Can You Imagine Louise McCullough worrying over her lessons?

With Thanks and Apologies to The Muscoljuan of ’22. 95 Bad Breaks Have you ever noticed how some members of the faculty rattle two pieces of chalk together in that distinctively “come seven, come eleven” manner. Prof. Allen: “A chair is a seat for one person with a back.” McKune (upon being called upon to recite) : “I pass.” Prof. Allen: “Where in the world did you learn that term?” Speaking of the eternal fitness of things; the last chapel exercises before exams, we sang No. 253, “To the hills I lift mine eyes, whence shall help for me arise.” Carl Elder: “I’m not caring so much for a vacation, but 1 would like to have a HOLLIDAY.” Miss Brand (sitting in her class room) : Well, I wonder where my Poetry class is this morning?” Mr. Grindle (passing through the hall) : “This is Washington’s Birthday.” Billie Arnott (speaking of ways to eat) : “1 never saw anybody eat off of boards.” Ernie Wright: “I s’pose they eat off’n troughs where you come from.” Dr. McChesncy, in oratory: “If you do not have your speech, you will get zero, except on your presence, your good behavior, and your good looks.” Jim Waite: “Then I won’t get nothing.” Miss Flory: “What are the whites of eggs used for?” W. Kyle: “Angelfood cake.” Larry Currie: “Say, Lois is a clipper, isn’t she?” Walk Taylor: “She is more; she’s a revenue cutter.” Miss Flory (in Physics Class) : “What are the three kinds of equilibrum?” Pink Lane: “Sober, drunk, and dead drunk.” Preach and Dot were riding in the country: Preach: “Would you like to live in the country?” Dot: “No, it would be too lonesome.” Preach: “You ought to try it. it would make you grow.” Dot: “Grow? Which way?” 96 It is rumored that there will be a new department organized in Cedarville College next year, i. e., Astronomy. We suppose Prof. Jurkat will have charge, as he will be able to reach down the stars for closer inspection. Carl: “That scar on your face must be very annoying.” Mary W.: “Oh, it is next to nothing.” “You told me these were fast colors, they went in a week!” “Well, you couldn’t ask for anything faster than that.”—Judge. “So you graduated from barber college? What is your college yell?” “Cut his lip, cut his jaw, leave his face raw, raw, raw.” As St. Peter was heard to remark, “If you fall, fry, fry, again.” She (sentimentally) : “For why should you fall for me?” He: “Your line was just low enough to trip me.” “Every dog has his day, except the dog without a tail and it has a weak end.” Miss Flory: “Mr. Moore, does a starfish have an olfactory organ?” George: “I don’t know.” Miss Flory: “Do you have an olfactory organ?” •’ George: “I—er—” Collins: “Yes, he has his feet.” Irate passenger: “Why don’t you put your foot where it belongs.” Tough Guy: “If I did you wouldn’t be able to sit down for a week.” Clarke: “You and me is going to have a combat.” Maine: “Yeah, you is going to do the cornin’ and I is goin’ to do the battin’.” Dr. McChesney: Now can a cat think of itself as ‘I?’ If it did what would it be?” Harper Bickett: “An egotist.” A FRESH MAN’S WISH SO ARE WE I long to be a Senior, And with the Seniors stand, With a fountain pen behind my ear. And a thesis in my hand. 1 would r.ot be a governor, I would not be a king, I’d rather be a Senior, And never do a thing. This gym class stuff Is really Fine, Builds the students n . Teaches ’em discipline— Really it does. I’m for it. 1 don’t have to Take it. 08 Bright Remarks From Other Schools Mother: “Poor Jimmie is so unfortunate.” Caller: “How's that?” Mother: “During the track meet he broke one of the best records they had in college.”—Tar Baby. Hen: “Whence the black eye, old thing?” Lee: “Oh, 1 went to a dance last night and was struck by the beauty of the place.”—Cornell Widow. “For the love of Mike, lend me two bits.” “Who is this guy Mike?”—Medley. Freshie: “I need $5 for my lab fee, and I have only four.” Senior: “That's easy. Pawn the $4 for three and sell the pawn ticket for $2.”—McGill Daily. Waiter: “What would you say to a stew?” Frosh : (Indignantly) “I never speak to drunkards.”—Burr. Prof.: “What do you find when you examine a dog’s lungs under a microscope?” Pre-Med: “The seat of his pants, 1 suppose.”—Pelican. '14: “So you’re a revenue officer now?” '16: “Yes.” '14: “What do you do when you find whiskey?” '15: “I perform my duty to the last drop.”—Cornell Widow. Pike: What is that rasping noise in the office?” Peak: “Oh, I guess somebody's filing a complaint.”—Punch Bowl. He: “My heart's idol—” She: “Put it to work.”—Mugwump. “Why do women wear shoulder straps on their gowns?” “Well, it’s either that or nothing.”—Phoenix. “Which have the greatest number of admirers, blondes or bru- nettes?” “Ask Madge; she’s been both.”—Pitt Panther. The key to the learning for which you are yearning Is easy to find if you look; But never try finding that secret by grinding Or looking for it in a book. I’ll tell you a system which surely beats this one, A system that’s easy enough— Try looking sagacious, that’s most efficacious, That’s part of the system called bluff. —Wellesley College News. 99 In Retrospect THE foreword of this book was written in July. It is now the middle of March and the Cedrus is at last ready for the press. During the intervening months we have watched it grow (yea, even helped it grow) with considerable pride and not a little mental trepidation as to the outcome. We would assure our readers that if time and worry are the signs of a successful college annual, we prophesy this book to be a howling success. However, we do not begrudge the time and worry spent thusly (now that it is over), but are willing to rest on our oars in the knowledge of what we believe and hope is work well done. We take this opportunity to thank those students and members of the faculty, who by their hearty co- operation have aided in the preparation of this book, and without whose aid this book would have been an im- possibility.—The Staff. 100 BOOK VIII ADVERTISEMENTS Patronize Our Advertisers: They Patronize Us. Co-operation is the watchword of today. Without co- operation this would be a very poor world in which to live. Gentle Reader, as you near the close of this 1922 Cedrus, we wish to take this opportunity of introducing you to our friends, the advertisers. The advertisers whose names appear on the following pages have done a great service for us, and we feel that you can and should co-operate with them in their work. Without their help it would have been impossible to put out this book. So, in behalf of the Cedrus Staff, I want to take this opportunity of thanking the Advertisers for their hearty support, and bespeak for them a better co- operation in the future.

At any rate, Dick must have heard, for when he returned a minute later, we saw by the look on his face that something was about to happen. For about ten seconds he stood near the door, his eyes fastened on Ted, and then he walked resolutely to where Bill was sitting. “I think you’d better nut A1 in for the next half,” he said quietly. “He—he can get more out of the team than 1 can.” But Bill only shook his head. “No,” he answered shortly. “I want you to stay where you are.” We were looking at Dick wonderingly, with a new born respect in our eyes; for there wasn't a fellow in the room who didn't realize at that moment that Dick had been ignorant all along of why he had beaten A1 out in the fight for quarter. His next words proved it. “You'll have to play Al,” he repeated, “I’m through.” Bill glanced swiftly around the room at us and then said, dully: “All right, AI will start for us in the next half.” So Al rushed out with the others when the whistle blew; and before we had played five minutes, the change in the Riverside eleven was apparent. The team found itself. Driven on by some dynamic force in Al’s nature, we slashed and plunged our way down the field, brushing aside all opposition, riding roughshod over the Glendale defense, until the last white line was trampled beneath our feet and we rushed pell- mell over the goal. Twice more during the remaining half, we repeated that triumphant march down the field, and while the Riverside stands went into ecstasies of cheering Dick sat huddled in his blanket, his dry eyes staring unseeingly at the ground. After the game he quickly dressed and sought to escape. He imagined that he was disgraced, that they had thought all along that he had known he was being favored by Bill, and had not said a word in protest. Then suddenly the noise ceased and he heard some one speaking. It was Bill, his chum, the captain of the team. “Last summer, when we were together up in the mountains,” Bill was saying, with something of a quiver in his voice, “Dick climbed down the side of a mountain and saved me from falling several hundred feet to the rocks below, where I was hanging. I can’t tell you about that now, but Dick saved my life, and 1 resolved then and there to pay him back somehow. 1 didn’t say any- thing to him, but when the season started I had decided that Dick would be quarter on the varsi’y. That was why I kept Al off and put Dick in all the games; and until to- day, I didn’t think it would make much difference to anyone, except Al. It was wrong, of course, and I guess I’ve been a pretty rotten captain; but 1 just want to say this: “Dick didn't know anything about it, and if Ted hadn’t said something between halves I would have kept him in and let the team lose. That was the way I was going to pay Dick back. But he wouldn’t stand for it; he—he was squarer than 1 am, and he is really the fellow who won the game for us. And 1 am nothing but a rotter, and I’m sorry for what I’ve done.” His voice broke, and he sat down suddenly. You could have heard a pin drop in that room for a space of about thirty seconds; and then some one started to clap and the clapping continued. But who knows whom the clapping was for? A! had swallowed his medicine like a man and hadn’t said a word; Bill had stood up before us all and taken the burden of blame on his own shoulders; and Dick had made the only amends possible and had given up his own ambition for the good of the team. So who was the hero for whom they were clapping? Walker Taylor. 117
