i COMPILED BY THE CEDRUS STAFF of 1924 ■ . THE DEDICATION to WILLIAM J. ALFORD TO the man who has a whole souled interest in the work of this College, a faith in its future, and who has supported us so loyally, we dedicate this volume of the Cedrus. 1 The cedar trees for which our College, our Cedrus and our town arc named, and many of which help to beautify our campus i t. ' I ' '—'XJ Within these old familiar halls are gathered hosts of pleasant memories, and here many happy friendships have had their beginning. Romance has not been lacking and the spirit of love and good fellowship is ever present. f I Many a breath taking hour has been spent within the Gym when our battles of Basket Bali were in progress. We have had both victory and defeat but our memories will be of our good times and fellowship regardless of the story told on the score board. I Happy associations come to our minds as we think of the pleasant times we have had in this building; true we might have intended to look up references, but many were the occasions when we grouped ourselves around a table and conversed. The old bridge has been the goal of many strollers on sunshiny afternoons. It is a pleas ant spot to reach. t The CEDRUS 19 2 4 The Faculty—An Appreciation IS AN OLD SAYING, that a prophet is not without honor save in his own country, yet this statement requires an exception in order that the rule may he accepted as proven. We have living exceptions to the rule in the Faculty 61 Cedarvillc College; There is probably no profession that is less appreciated by society at large than the teaching profession. Nor is there any profession that requires greater understanding of he man nature, and especially of the problems of youth, than that of the teacher. Next to the home, there is no institution which has a greater effect and great- er responsibility upon the moulding of character, and the complete dcvclopcmcnt of the individual, into an upright, self-supporting, law-abiding citizen, than the school and college. Yet it is the nature of youth to resent any form of discipline, in which the immediate ends arc not seen. Often the most vivid recollections of youth arc of the time when we were able to put it over on the professor. We fail to call to mind the times when sympathy, understanding and aid were extended to us by the same professor. It is usually not until years afterward that we fully appreciate their aid. But that is youth impulsive, forgetful, unappreciative youth. The faculty of a college have an especially heavy responsibility in the guid- ing of youth at the period when decisions in the selection of careers arc being made. It is in this way that the faculty of a small college renders its greatest service to society. In addition it renders greater service to its small classes than those of larg- er institutions. Mere hearers of classes are to lx found almost any place, but it would be a rare thing to find another such sympathetic, helpful and understanding group of professors as we have in Cedarvillc College. It is our hope that through these pages we may express our appreciation of the Faculty, which is headed by a man known far and wide for his kindness, helpfulness and devotion to Cedarvillc College and its Student Body, Dr. McChesney.

Donald Wickcrham Senior Class History ■fHIS IS THE YEAR of nineteen hundred and twenty-four. To many it is the same as any other year, hut for one group of people, at least, it is different from all other years. This group is the Seniors of Cedar- ville College. After these many years in school we will leave in the spring and enter upon the next stage of our career, the school of life. All of you know the Senior Class individually. The class is not large, some fifteen members, hut the quality of Us members makes up for the lack of quantity. If you know the individuals you know the high scholarship standard maintained by them all. Let us peep into the inner workings during the four long years No! short years which measure the life of the class. First we started to College, as all stu- dents should, in the year nineteen hundred and twenty. Were we good, non-grfeen and studious? Well, we were- -, in the usual way. We had our feeds and good times and not once were they broken up or any food confiscated by the upper classmen. Strange to say, we were destined to go through four years without ever losing a feed. We felt that we had a fairly successful year because of the fact that for many years every Freshman Class spread had been broken up and the feed tak- Twunty-two The CEDRUS 1924 on, hut we broke the record by coming through the fray safely and with our eats. Like all infants we were frightened by the dignified aspect of our Professors. This soon wore off when we learned that they were human beings just like the othei persons. So ended the Freshman year and we were happy when we found ourselves on the same plane with the people who were so very careful not to let us forget that we were Freshmen. As Sophomores we first noticed that the greenness was coming out of us when Jim Waite wore a green cap which faded on his head. We started the year right by getting the Freshmen’s ice cream at their teed. We also had our feeds at the usual places. At Harper Ricketts’ home we did not lose any eats but we lost a Ford. However, Bickclts had a good supply of Fords and brought us back to town. Our class was well represented in all activities during this winter, lhll Rid' die was elected captain of the football team, we were represented in the college play, a number «if our members were on the basket-ball teams. During this time the class of twenty-four was marching ahead, making marks for itself, and setting records in Ccdarvillc College. On a whole, it was a very successful year and when we left in the spring for our summer vacations we felt that we had made good progress toward our goal. It was line to come back as Juniors in the fall. We held several more feeds at the Bickctl home but did not lose anything. We had a number of enjoyable feeds at the homes of other members of the class. Two main events of the Junior year were most prominent: namely, the Junior Flay, and the Junior-Senior banquet. The play was successful. Each member of the cast played his part well. The Junior-Senior banquet was held in the Community Hall and was a pleasant oc- casion. Several of our members were missing when the Senior year opened. Several were attending Ohio State and will graduate with us in the spring. One of our number had decided during the summer that he would leave the state of single bliss and proceeded to gel married. We now have a married man as President of the class. This being our Senior year, it was one of hard work for all. Several were teaching in the Preparatory Department and the Editor-in-Chief of the Cedrus had his hands full. The mul-year examinations are over and we have taken our last exams under the professors that we have learned to esteem and love because they have helped us SO much through the four years. Soon the time will roll around and we will re- ceive our degrees and then we will be ready for life’s duties as far as our Alma Ma- ter is able to prepare us. It is with a stout heart that we all face life thankful that we have been permitted to attend a college which has trained us physically, intel- lectually, morally and spiritually.

It was not so very long ago for we arc only Juniors now. Truly, that was our first taste of college life and most assuredly we were favorably impress- ed. As Freshmen we took on new courage and began to realize our responsibilities. Of course our Freshman life was not all work and no play; for we did have an occasional “feed. At least once we felt so sorry for the upper classmen we al- most fed them, but our men had been so well trained in football that they were strong enough to prevent such a catastrophe. Speaking of sports, the college would go begging were it not for the captains, managers, halfbacks, quarterbacks, etc which our class so ably supplies. As “Sophs we were not so great in number, but we still had the “quality. We were well represented on the Cedrus Staff and in the college play. We were at the front in pestering the Seniors when they had their feeds. We will say that [they were blessed with Angel Cooks' Since time never ceases to fly, we suddenly found ourselves Juniors. Sad to relate, our ranks were greatly depleted by this time, for many answered the call for teachers. Never will we forget our steak roast at Larry’s cabin, or the chick- en feed at Lois’, but these arc only two of the many bright spots in our Junior life. Naturally we hesitate to laud our praises to the skies, but we are $o proud of our Juniors that we want others to know and appreciate us. Our highest aim is to do the best we can for our college, with the hope that she will give of her best in return. T I’, c. 0 % 1 Thirty-two The CEDRUS 192 4 Ci.

June Tompson Vice-President ........... Dick Cooper Sophomore Class History SOPHOMORES of 24 were first hailed in Sept. 1923, and ever jkggSj ft g! since that memorable date the other classes have been aware of our |presence. For one short year (for unlike ordinary Freshmen, we thot it short) we were often tortured by having the name Preside hurled k - ' —.u us from all sides. It was yet while early in our youth that we were initiated into the cruelties of the upper classmen by their attempt to break up a well formulated spread. It is needless to recall the result of that unfortunate alfair to those of us who were left behind. Spring came and we bade adieu to the name of ‘Freshman forever, and we eagerly awaited the day when we should be christened ’Sophomores’. At last after a long wait the Fall Semester of the year 1923-1924 came and we celebrated by having the first spread of the season and getting away with it. This was quite a shock to the other classes, but we were always noted for our sur- prises. The class has always been famous for the men it furnished in athletics. We are living up to our reputation this year. In Football we furnished a number, in Basketball we have representatives on the squad and the Captain of the Girls’ Team, June Thompson, is a member of this class. Our members are always in demand as officers of the various organizations of the school. When the Cedrus Play was given three members of this class were chosen in the cast: Dick Cooper, Betty Clif- ford and Harold Ray. We do not wish to boast of ourselves for our loyalty to the College far ex- ceeds class loyalty; we are boosting the spirit of the College by helping to build up Cedarville. B.

Oh, pardon me! Of course it needs no introduction! By its deeds it has already made itself so prominent that no one hut an ignora- mus would venture to introduce it. Altho only Freshies, the members of this class have distinguished themselves (if Freshies can do such a thing) in all activities of the College. But to begin at the beginning. We entered College' in September imbued (as Freshies usually are) with the firm determination to study, and at the same time to have our names carved high on the honor roll of Ccdarvillc College fame. It was a dark and gloomy day when we first saw the famous halls of the College. When we arrived that morning we did not know where to go and after chasing around the building we were finally herded into the chapel like a bunch of sheep. There we had our first glimpse of our professors and were given some idea of the lessons which we would have the rest of the year. When there is lime to spare from our studies we enter enthusiastically into every phase of college life. In the athletic line this class has done much consider- ing its age; it has contributed not only quantity but quality. We refer you to the pictures of the teams in this volume of the Cedrus. This class supplied many of the cast for the college play, The Importance of Being Earnest, and also for the Cod- rus play, The Wrong Mr. Wright. The class had its first social stunt by taking a ride on a truck. Most of the upper classmen followed us and seemed to have a very good time, hacking only one thing refreshments. Chagrined by this, they brought back to town several sam- ples of Freshmen hair to adorn Doc's window. Just when we thought th.it we were getting along wonderfully and that every one had forgotten that we were Freshmen, the upper classmen kindly informed us that the boys were to wear caps of college colors with a green button on them, and the girls were to wear the college ribbons. In no better way could the college col- ors have been honored than by permitting us to wear them. There you have the story of the class of '27. If you arc willing to concede that we arc some class all right; if you are just a bit skeptical—just watch us and , , we will show you that we are a class of which Ccdarville College may well be proud. ( I J’ w - Forty Freshmen Class Ceclarville College 1923 1924 Korty-one T he CEDRUS 19 2 4 Green County Normal YEAR 1923-1924 marked the beginning of tin Greene County Nor- d School at Ccdarvillc. The College kindly offered the use of a room the main floor of the Administration Building in which to conduct This was accepted as a suitable place. This has proven a great ad mage to the Normal School because it enables the students to come in close contact with the college life, and associate with the college students. This is something that one does not find in many Normal Schools. Here the Normal students are considered and treated the same as Freshmen of the College. It also gives them the opportunity to attend chapel services. The Ccdarvillc School is situated across the street from the campus. This also serves as an advantage to the students. It enables them to do their practice teaching and observation close to their boarding places. In this way they arc not to any extra expense. The establishes of this Normal School have been governed in their choice of material and methods of treatment by the needs of the rural teacher of today. The purpose of this Normal is to prepare teachers who will turn the drudgery of the rural school life into pleasant and interesting work. Everything that is essential for the preparation of a rural elementary teacher is given. Not only the methods of teaching are taught, but also a course in every elementary subject, including music and industrial art. This enables the student to have a good control of the subject matter before he begins his profession of teach- ing. Thirty-six hours of observation arc required. At the end of the course the student is given a one year teacher's certificate. At the beginning of the first year nineteen students enrolled, eighteen girls and one boy. The class had the misfortune of losing two members, but those re- maining worked diligently through the course. This school was very fortunate in securing a most efficient teacher. Miss Su- sanne M. Koehler, of Columbus, Ohio. In the month of December Mr. Eswine from Columbus gave this class a very interesting course in Nature Study and Agriculture. In March the class was fortunate in observing Miss Morrow’s and Miss Elliott's reading in the primary grades. Although the Greene County Normal is rather unfortunate in having a green name, it is very evident that this does not seriously handicap it in any way.

This Department was established several years ago; and since that time it has been slow ly, hut constantly, growing. Already plans are being made for improvements to he instituted next year. The Department of Music is conducted under the very efficient instruction of Professor J. A. Talcott, M. A. Professor Taleott is a graduate of the Cleveland Piano School, the Georgia School of Technology, and the Royal College of Organ ists at London. He has also studied voice under Charles S. Burnham, and choir direction under J. Powell Jones of Wales. During the past year Prof. Talcott has ofFered courses in piano, organ, voice, and harmony. A course in violin will he add' cd whenever the demand for it is sufficient to secure the services of a teacher from Springfield. In the past the instruction has all been given individually in half hour lessons; hut in the future the work in harmony will lx class work taught by the lecture method. The work for each course is mapped out, and when the course is completed a diploma of graduation is given. A public recital is held every June to demonstrate the work of the Department and to give the pupils training in public appearance. The College encourages work in music by allowing a total of eight credits in music to count towards the electives in the Art Curriculum . This year thirty-six pupils have enjoyed the instruction in the various courses. The students come from the public schools, high school, college and community. More pupils arc expected next year and arrangements are being made to accomodate them. In addition to the regular work, the Department has given a course in Pulv lie School Music to the students of the Greene County Normal. A new’ feature for the coming year is to be the advanced department. The Work in the past has been mainly primary and intermediate. Now pupils of ability will be encouraged to continue their work in the new department. Professor Tab cott will devote more of his time to advanced work, and will be assisted in the pri mary teaching by some of the older music students. A great improvement was made this year when the studio was moved from the Administration Building to the Library. The present studio is larger and much more convenient and attractive. However, we are all looking forward to the day when the Music Department will have more students and instructors, several studios, and practice rooms for the out'of'town students; and when Music will be a benefit recognised by more students. M. D. a Forty-four Korty Avi� A I Cedarville Theological Seminary Ccdarvillc Seminary is a term revered by all who know its true worth. It would be futile to attempt in this limited space a systematic analysis of its comprc- hensivc work. We all seem to have the tendency at times of desiring deeper spir' itual insight into the things of spiritual discernment, but we do not always know the preferable trend of investigation to secure this desired information. This our Seminary strives to supply. Cedarville Theological Seminary has chosen a distinctive channel of activity, and in abbreviating that plan we would sum up the kernel into one comprehensive whole: we believe there is a possibility of the loving and true God as revealed in Jesus Christ. To provide the means of laying hold of this possibility is the function of our Seminary. Sometimes under its tutelage we. are led into the field of pro- found scientific investigation; sometimes into the realm of reconstructing the thought of former divines; again into the mental struggle of translating from the original the thoughts of the Patriarchs, or Apostles of Jesus. All this we count joy, to be able to say: we know not all, but a little more and with it to realize that to know more is to love more. We have a stalf of professors of which we are justly proud; Dr. W. R. Me- Chesney, Dean, associated with him, Dr. F. A. Jurkat, Rev. B. E. Robison, Rev. W. 1 . Harriman. These men arc all of high character and intellect. To any who may read and be considering the course we take special delight, after five years personal experience, in recommending Ccdarvillc Theological Sem- inary as sound, scholarly, spiritual, and profoundly interested in the work of the Kingdom. G. S. R. Korty-nlx ft The CEDRUS 19 24 Athletic Review ITH THE FOOT'BALL and basket hall seasons at Cedarvillc over and prospects of a good basc'hall season in sight, we can safely make the statement that the athletic seasons of 1923-1924 at Cedarvillc have been the most successful, financially, in the history of the College. Al- though there may be a small deficit, it will not be as great as in for- mer seasons. From the standpoint of games won, the foot-ball season was an unsuccessful one indeed. One game won on the entire schedule. At the first of the season with over two teams in uniform on the gridiron things looked well for a very suc- cessful season. However, before the season was well under way the squad had dwindled until at times it was hard for the coach to get a full team for practice. Lick of observance of training rules was also in evidence, as our team on several occasions played their opponents to a stand-still the first part of the game, but were not able to stand the pace the second half. In the first game with Antioch, ten days after the opening of school, it was lack of sufficient time for conditioning and not because the boys did not try their best. They out-played Antioch in all de- partments of the game the first half, but were completely worn out at the close of the third quarter. In other games later on in the season the fellows showed lack of interest and fight. An Oh. what is the use attitude. We have men with the ability to put out a winning team. To make a winning team the men must appear daily for practice; observe training rules; have the support and proper co-operation of the Faculty and Student Body. The same can be said of the boys basket-ball season that has been said of the foot-ball. Lack of faithful practice; lack of co-operation among players and with the coach; no observance of training rules. The final game with Antioch was one of the bright spots. In that game the boys demonstrated what they could do with co-operation among themselves and the backing of the students and commun- ity. Witli such playing throughout the season the scores would have been quite different. Again in the Defiance game at Dayton with the score 19 to 9 against them at the end of the first half, the boys came back with the old determination and won the game 25 to 23. That's the kind of spirit we want at all times. The girls' basket-ball team is a different story. From the standpoint of num- ber of games won, in the number of girls who daily appeared for practice, and in the splendid spirit of co-operation among the girls on the squad and toward the coach, the season has certainly not been a failure, but a credit to the girls them- selves as well as to the College. They won a majority of the games scheduled; tak- ing two from Wittenberg and two from Wilmington; losing two to the Antioch girls by small scores. Hurrah for the girls! Just one other athletic activity needs to be mentioned. The tennis club hopes to put a team on the court to contest nearby colleges. Heretofore they have had tournaments among the members, only with an elimination contest, the winner of which receives a prise. We wish the new venture success. Korty-olKlO 1923 Football Review VILLI: COLLEGI: received its first taste of football in 1921. ng that the taste only made a desire for more we have continued year since. The team that went on the field this year is the third to be put on the field. Each year the main difficulty has been to nough out to practice and u is the sincere hope that the coming team will not be handicapped by this trouble. When Coach Talcott first called practice, on Sept. 12. about thirty men of various abilities answered, and donned thirty football suits in preparation for the initial struggle with Antioch. The team had only eight practices, and comparitively few scrimmages, before they had to journey to Antioch. The game was hard fought and early in the game Markle made a touchdown. This made us very enthusiastic and we were in great spirits. Luck was with Antioch and, due to a fumble, they scored. Antioch was completely outclassed in every respect but scoring. The next game was with Findlay, and was played on our gridiron. The teams battled in the middle of the field, back and forth they struggled. Our team Forty-nlno The CEDRUS 1924 had them outplayed, however, and almost at the end of the fourth quarter we went through for a touchdown. By this time the team was in better shape and was able to put up a hard light. The team spent the next week in hard work, anticipating the mill with Earb ham at Richmond. E.trlham, with a heavier team, was unable to gain on line plays, and both teams resorted to aerial attack. We managed to give Earlham the scare of their lives, and lost by a 7 to 14 score. Going next to Rio Grande, a game light was put up, with the scoring ad' vantage on our side at the end ol the first half. Rio Grande, however, came out victors. A good showing was made at Ashland, against the team that shut out Day- Fifty CEDRUS The 19 2 4 KYLb- G.crcj -i« apKE 5 ,'BLDc wnteaij?- -7ETES?- 2 Sr Ur a - Tttcor- .Half fc__________ ton University. Weight anti speed seemed to favor Ashland. Antioch was taught several pointers when they played the home game. At Capitol the team came out of their trance the third quarter and played football, but were unable to beat Capitol. The season has taught us very forcibly, that a winning team cannot be placed on the field without co-operation, hard work, and skill. The latter will usually care for itself if the other two requisites arc emphasized enough, not by a few but by all. No team however good, can play football without being in absolutely perfect phys- ical condition. This condition is best fostered by keeping training rules. While not winning a majority of games, football in Ccdarvillc College in 1923 was a success, for success is counted, not in the number of games won, or in score alone, but in growth of spirit, in the good to the individual, and in the good to the college as a whole. Let’s make 1924 a banner football year! It can be done! -1 ?Q9 0 m WRRIGRS- - 32 Sgard - CURRIE- rji ?fin tcr •DAVtS� - h(l f IOfty-ono Boys’ Basket Ball LAYING a brand of ball unsurpassed at times by none; yet railing at other times to work as an organised unit, this year’s Basket Ball Team passes Into history. We have made a name for ourselves, outdoing many pre- vious team's In some respects, although losing' several games in our schedule. “A good beginning makes a bad ending. Is the popular saying _______ but let us wait and see. On the 6th of December our boys met Springfield Business College on the local court, and won the opening game of the season by a decisive score. Though yet In the early stages of development our players showed ability and the promise of being a winning team. The following Tuesday we Journeyed to Sabina and in the last minute of play WO were still leading by one point. The ball was still in the air ns the Dual whistle sounded, only to drop through our opponents' basket on its downward swoop. This was bitter but the luck was against us so we made the best of the bargain we were able. The week-end was spent In Columbus. During this time wo dropped two games; one to Capitol University, another to Bliss Business College. These wore exceedingly fast teums so we did not let the defeats worry us. Following tills, we met the more experienced quintette from Wilmington Col- lege on the home floor. Our team played a good game in the tirst half but they weak- ened In the last part of the game. During our Christmas vacation, when we were feeling lino after receiving our gifts, we met the team from Defiance College and van- quished them. The game was played on a neutral lloor In Dayton. The game was one of the most spectacular of the season. Trailing by a score of 23 to I during the second half and then winning out in an overtime period furnishes a contest replete with thrills and surprises. X Following this game our team met with a series ol live reverses. Webster was (T on the sick list for three weeks. The student body was in desipair and we thought • ) that some evil spirit was certainly following us. as we would lose by provoking scores. ’ The Jinx was trailing us in the tirst half of the game wo played at Antioch, we Just 'C couldn't bit the basket. The second half was a battle from start to finish, but the lead r)ll was loo large to overcome. Wilmington, Bliss, Babbs, and Ashland each captured a game at our expense. We failed to live up to the adage quoted in the beginning of this review for which we are very thankful. The first victim of our rejuvenated team was Babbs from Xenia. The one to follow was the Y. M. C. A. aggregation from Washington. By this time we were again encouraged, and as the last game of the season rolled around we hoped to beat our old rival—Antioch. At last the evening came and wo went to the j Gym hoping against hope that the score would be large for us. By the time the boys vj game was called the enthusiasm of the crowd was unsurpassed. The game started,- Fifty-two MION'S FIRST TKA.M off In AnUocli'8 favor but about tin uiidilb of the Aral half our boys began to tlnd the baskot and for the reinahulor of tin- game we fought as never before and the game ended with the «core lt to 17 in favor ol (Vdarville. With such an ending of the season the hopes for a good team next year are high. Lot us make the year to come one of the most successful In the history of Codarvllle College. Fifty-three Girls’ Basket Ball jEDARVILLE (COLLEGE may justly he proud of her girls' basket ball squad this year. During the season, we have played eleven games and have received the laurels of victory seven times. Although we were unable to deal Antioch a defeat this year, we made the game quite in- teresting lor them, the final score being 16 to 15. We succeeded in handing both the Quaker and Lutheran Maids a double defeat this season. The disappointment resulting front the cancelling of Rio Grande's game by mistake was great but slightly appeased by the trip to Columbus. Perhaps you will be allowed your trip to Rio Grande next year, girls. Our prospects and hopes for a team that will never taste defeat next year are high. Our squad of this year with its star guards, excelling forwards and cflb cient centers, along with the peppy subs and other candidates, will be ready to light V for the Orange and Blue with even more vim and vigor than this year.

Cedarville College Y. W. C A. :fH,:. Y. W. C. A. MEANS MUCH m the life � f a college girl. It is one iof the bright spots in her life that she wishes to remember It is very often in this organisation that many real and lasting friendships are formed; that a girl learns the priceless worth of having and being a true friend. Then, too, if it is a progressive organization, it is in collect- ion with the Y. W. C. A. that a girl has her best times. Still more important is the Christian atmosphere that we find among the Y. W. C. A. girls. For is it not the real purpose after all, to create in the girls a true Christian spirit? The Y. W. C. A. has always been a very active agency in Cedarville College despite the small membership. The work was rather hampered this year because there was an entirely new Cabinet; naturally there was much to learn concerning the direction and administration of the organization. However every one worked hard and, along with the earnest co-operation of the girls, accomplished many worth while things. Under the supervision of the Undergraduate Representative a Freshman Sub- Cabinet was formed. This was for the purpose of training Freshmen girls for work in the main Cabinet. Of course, to carry on work effectively, money is very necessary. One of the chief plans for raising money is the Annual Tag Day. This is one of the big events of the Y. W. C. A. year. At Thanksgiving time it is the annual custom for the Y. W. C. A. to give baskets of food to the needy of the town. It is true that this is only a small fraction of the work of the Y. W. C. A., yet it is a little insight into the purpose and value of the organization. It is believed that every girl in Cedarville College considers it not only a pleasure hut a privilege to belong to the Y. W. C. A. v. 1 I Fifty-eight ,1 I [i Cedarville College Y. M. C. A. It is the aim of the Young Men’s Christian Association to enlist as members those who arc interested in Christian Welfare, and who approve of the objects of the Association, which are as follows: To lead students to become disciples of Jesus Christ as their Divine Lord and Savior; to lead them to join the Church; to promote growth in Christian faith and character, and to enlist them in Christian service; to help the young men with their problems; and to assist them in any way that it is able.” At the beginning of the year many interesting discussions were held on topics relating to the needs and aims of College men. Topics were taken up which we felt would ixs of value and a help to us, as young men, preparing to enter some definite field of activity. Later in the year a series of meetings were held, each week taking some par- ticular phase of International Problems and the Christian Way «if Life.” These meetings gave us a clearer understanding of existing world problems, and how we could help to solve them. At different times during the year we were fortunate in having men with us who gave some very enjoyable and helpful talks. Among theses( were Mr. W. W. Galloway, Mr. O. Mays, and Mr. Seamans, our State Secretary. ( We also voted t« adopt the Constitution, which will give us membership in, yi and representation on, the National Council «il Y. M. C.

It helps to develop to a higher level the spiritual, mental and physical sides of our natures.

T. «V' Kirty-nlnc The CEDRUS 19 24 The College Club OF I I II' CHIEF CENTERS of attraction at Ccdarvillc College is ic College Club located in the basement of the library. Here it is iat the thoughts of many of our students fondly linger, for it is our ting house and has an irrcsistablc fascination for some. Every day noisy, ravenous crowd gathers below the library and waits for the bell which sounds the signal for a rush to the dining room. Around the tables we learn to know each other well, for under the influence of plenty of good food the bars of reserve are lowered and the true disposition shows forth. A discreet exercise of the powers of observation reveals some truly startling things, and we are quite confident that we have discovered a sufficient cause for the excess of corpulence which some of our members so loudly bewail. The devoted couples who eat together day after day are another source of interest. After careful consideration we have come to the conclusion that the looks of consternation on the faces of certain of our young men are produced by the alarm- ing prospect of the amount of foodstuffs he may have to buy in the near future. On the other hand, we have been confidentially informed that these same young men have caused great alarm because of the great quantity of food they devour. Of course there are times when the crowd gels hilarious and even the shy become rash. Then it is that some unsuspecting person may lx- startled by the sight of his food swimming in a pool of water—an unsolicited contribution from a near neighbor. Naturally a lot of joking and teasing go on while we eat, but most of us have learned, and experience has taught us, to enter into the fun and contrib- ute some ourselves. However wc do not become unmanagable, for we realize that college attend- ance should impart some sort of dignity and, moreover, several members of the fac- ulty cat with us to restrain us, if necessary, from behaving like the Goops. This whole year long wc have enjoyed ourselves at the Club, and we'll long remember the place where we ate, drank and were merry. • H. S. and E. B.

The Editor Slxty-two The CEDRUS 1924 Slxty-Uiivo CEDRUS The 19 2 4 The Philadelphian Literary Society WAS ON THE OCCASION of a visit to his Alma Mater that an alumnus of Gedarvillc College encountered one of its present students. After the usual inquiries into the work of the college, he spoke rein i' nescently of the Philadelphian Literary Society as it existed when he was a member. He told how this society, the first in Gedarvillc College, was organized in 1894. The organizers were a band of energetic students who showed unflagging in- terest and determined devotion. They selected the name Philadelphian with Philo for short. The motto adopted was: With Malice toward None and Char- ily for All, and the society colors were Black and Old Gold. After the College was established in the new building the Philos furnished the larger of the two so- ciety halls. About this time there were some slight differences among the members which resulted in the formation of a second society. The alumnus further mani- fested his interest by saying that he had kept in touch with the work of the society after he left college. He was very sorry to learn of its discontinuance because grad- uates have gone forth from Philo Hall who have won respect and honor wherever they have gone. The student to whom he wfts talking gave this pleasing bit of information. Last year the students of Gedarvillc College were divided into two literary societies, namely: No. One and No. Two. Last fall at the opening of college society No. Two began its campaign, and as a result the records show that we have seventy-eight en- rolled. The first question to be considered was a name for the society. After much discussion and investigation the name Philadelphian was adopted because of the work that the former society of that name had accomplished. The new society has taken possession of the old Philo Hall and adopted its colors. A constitution has been drawn up and adopted and the motto to be upheld is Read and think, know and be wise. There is a true spirit of enthusiasm and co-operation manifested which must endure and increase as the years pass, and the name, the work, and significance of Philadelphian is handed down from student body to student body. ‘Flourish, prosper may thou ever. Loved and honored be thou still! Tho some tics we all must sever. In our hearts we keep the will. In the years that are before, May countless trace their fortune back To the name they now adore, Written in the Gobi and Black. June Thompson Sixty-four J 1 The CEDRUS 192 4 ) The CEDRUS 1924 i Philosophic Literary Society HE PALL OF ’9s a few of the energetic students realizing the advantages to he derived from the organisation of a second literary ra l society, because of the greater college spirit it might develop through rivalry and competition, accordingly called a meeting of all interested [Cw � :- aJ in the movement. The first meeting was held at the home of Miss Anna Orr, and the name chosen for this new organization was the Philosophic Lit' crary Society. Beginning with Jan. 6, 1896, meetings were held weekly in the Cob lege Chapel, until in December of “96 the Philosophic Hall (now the office) was elaborately furnished and decorated in the society's colors, “Green and White. In 1908 the faculty took control of the society until 1916, due to the ill feelings aroused. Throughout this time the society continued to prosper. However, during the late war the membership lessened and because of this and other reasons it was thought advisable to disband. In 1919 the Philosophic together with the Philadelphian society were fused into one, which t« ok the name Orange and Blue. Before the close of College last spring we decided to once more reinstate the literary societies in our college (although the names Philosophic and Philadelph- ian were not decided upon until this fall). Numbers one and two were drawn by the students and in this way the societies were equally divided. With the coming of the Freshmen in September quite a number of new names were added to our roll. Why did they not all join? Because they did not have the essential qualifi- cations so we would not have them. Only the beautiful, the brilliant, the best in every line became Philosophies. So it has been in the past year of the society; so may it be to the end. Let each Philosophic keep strongly in mind that the end and aim of his society is cul- ture and cultivation. Let him remember that time and money given for the honor of Philosophies will yield no small returns in benefit to humanity, and may each one keep ever before him the Philosophic motto g: ) Be perpetual always.

W. G. A. This year the girls were entertained by the boys at a masquerade ball held in the Gym. Many funny and interesting persons were present, and a prise was given to the best character represented. Mr. Donald Wickcrham, dressed as a woman, and pushing his wife in a small doll buggy, kept the crowd guessing who they were and rightfully won the prise. Before the crowd unmasked a flash-light picture was taken which was very good. Many interesting games were played and two gypsies were there to tell for- tunes. While all sat frightened in the dark, Mr. Markle told a most interesting ghost story, which was vividly illustrated. Delicious and bountiful refreshments were served with pre-Volstead cider al- ways at hand. After spending a very enjoyable evening we repaired to our homes at an hour within the limits of the faculty rule. The Girls’ Banquet The lady members of the faculty decided that the girls of the College should be given a few lessons in etiquette. A committee was appointed with Miss Koehler as chairman, to plan our first lesson which was to be a six o'clock dinner served in the Community Hall. After much talking, trying to decide which evening gown we should wear, and after the committee had had a hot debate in deciding how to lay the silverware properly on the table, about sixty attended the banquet. A three course dinner was served in just the proper way and all ate with fear and trembling. The out of town guests were Dr. Whitney, New York City; and Supt. and Mrs. Aultman, Xenia, Ohio. The alFair was very successful and will long be re- J i1) membered by the girls. SBraptf0 Sixty—iKlit The CEDRUS 192 4 Church Receptions ■IE FIRST SOCIAL EVENT of the season was a reception given by the Christian Endeavor Society of the Reformed Presbyterian Church. This was given the first Friday after college began in order that the new students might lx- given a welcome, and that all might get ac- quainted. The girls wrote interesting descriptions of themselves, which were bought by the boys, Mr. Marklc making an efficient auctioneer. In this way we secured our partners for supper. We went to the basement and while we ate many yells and songs were given by the various groups. After many games were played we went home, feeling that we had a finer crowd of students in Cedarville College than any year before. Later in the year the students and faculty were entertained at a reception given by the Epworth League of the Methodist Church. By this time we had be- come so well acquainted that it was not difficult to plan an entertainment for the evening. Many old-fashioned games were played, such as Dusty Miller, Spinning the Pan, and Charades. A good supper was served. The crowd left at a late hour, and thus we had enjoyed another pleasant evening together. The Valentine Party On February 14th the students and faculty of Cedarville College were royally entertained by Dr. and Mrs. W. R. McChesney at their home on Xenia Avenue. Everything had been planned in keeping with St. Valentine's Day. The most inter- esting feature of the evening was the opening of a large valentine box which had been stuffed to overflowing by the students. This caused much amusement, because not all the valentines received were beautiful. Miss Somers and Dr. McChesney distributed the valentines. Groups were chosen for supper in a very clever way and we wended ottr way to the dining room. A most delicious repast was served. Mr. Marklc, who sat by the cupboard in the dining room, acted as assistant caterer. As soon as the first course had been served Marklc reached into the cupboard and passed the mustard, followed by apple sauce, butter, cheese, horseradish, jelly and peach chop. We arc not sure what would have been passed next, had Mrs. McChesney not appeared on the scene. After supper we sang old songs and spent an evening full of mirth and song. We left feeling that we had spent a very pleasant evening with our President and his family. Slxty-nlno The CEDRUS 192 4 S qT Gu kTY APP AX iYCr H • Pf s Smith'? urothmX Ch oc OjLA tg.

Since that date two hun- dred and sixty-three persons have been graduated, some with high honors, and have gone forth to fill such positions in world affairs as to make them an honor to their Alma Mater. No! Cednrvlllo College is not Just beginning her career! However, may it not hi- that as the thirtieth year slips into history a greater period of useful- ness and achievement shall begin? Commencement Week, which will bring to a close Cednrvllle’s thirtieth year, gives promise of being prophetic of coming years. Since September. 1920, a group of students, then Freshmen, have eagerly anticipated the closing week of the year 1923-1924. It can he safely said that in their visions ol that week they have seen the time honored events which custom has decreed must occur. These events have been alluring because the members of the afore-said group have seen themselves as tin- class on which all eyes have turned as they entered the church on Sabbath night in order to hear the baccalaureate sermon. They have seen themselves as chief marchers In the long line of black gowned and capped figures moving slowly and solemnly from Library to Opera House, whore, at Hie conclusion of the Com- mencement program they are to receive the documents that will proclaim, to all who may read, that they are graduates of Codarvlllo College. Cedar Day, now a regular part of Commencement Week festivities, is Home- coming Day for alumnae and alumni. It is a day for reunions and recreations. It is a day when many prospective wearers of the Orange and Blue are Introduced to college llfo. Whatever may ho true of past Cedar Days, that of 1924 •promises to lie the best of all. Representatives of former graduating classes are promising their aid in an endeavor to have a one hundred per cent attendance of all graduates for Cedar Day.

As time grew near, all was astir with excitement, but not one word cs- cd to the boys. The night set had arrived, and all, decked out in ir best apparel wended their way down Xenia Avc., with the ex ceplion of' two girls, who later in the evening made a thrilling and startling entrance through a window. They had received gentle treatment, in the way of having their hands and feet bound, halters on their heads, and a nice promenade on the Columbus pike. The house was beautifully decorated with chrysanthemums. The guests were ushered into the large reception hall and breathlessly awaited the arrival of the bride and groom. Amid this expectant silence a sudden stir was heard on the stair, and a twist- ing of heads followed as the old familiar strain, Here Comes the Bride, pealed forth. The bridal procession was coming, lead by the flower girls, followed by the bride, Marjorie Wright, and bridesmaids, up to the altar, where awaited the groom. Hazel Williams, and Rev. Somers. The pair were married under an arch of ferns, lilies and chrysanthemums. The bride was very lovely in her white crepe de chine dress, carrying her bridal bouquet. This solemn performance was at this point interrupted by the arrival of uninvited guests who assisted in taking the marriage vows; and giving advice as to how it should be managed. This untimely interruption was welcomed and expected as a part of the program. This was followed by a four course dinner. The bride's table was beautifully decorated in yellow and white. The salad had disappeared, the ice cream had seemingly melted, but these slight clouds of irritation and disappointment were soon forgotten in the pleasure of the evening. The bridal cake was cut and each ce which doubtless brought many pleasant dreams. The inar- at a late hour and after many congratulations and good wishes upon the newly married pair, the guests all departed. R. D. Sevonty-llvo And Billy Disappeared After spending a week in reading plays, the play, And Billy Disappeared, was selected by the Junior Class. The whole class was included in the cast. After working hard and steady, under the most excellent directorship of Miss Florence Somers, the play was ready to be given. It proved to be a great success and the Juniors could not help but compliment themselves because they had prepared it in such a short time. The cast was All Star. Mr. Donald Wickerham played the part of Billy and Miss Hazel Williams, his sweetheart, while Miss Lucilc Johnson and Mr. Marion Stormont furnished much amusement for the audience Miss Lucinda Caskey and Mr. Dell Wickerham played a thrilling love scene. Miss Thelma Deacon made a delightful old lady. The costume and the acting of Mr. Gavin Rciley made him a hermit to be avoided, and Miss Christine Kyle a clever, and amusing colored maid. Come Out of the Kitchen I Ins play was presented by the Senior Class is their last services to the col- lege. It was an All Star cast with Miss Marjorie McClellan and Mr. Earl Collins as leads. Other members of the east played their parts well. The staging was excellent, the complete kitchen was shown and a delicious meal was served. This was the first event of Commencement Week and started it off with much pep and enthusiasm. The play was very successful and was enjoyed by many alumni who had returned to Oedarville for Commencement Week. Sovcnty-vlx The CEDRUS 1 9 2 4 _ The Wrong Mr. Wright i presented by The Cedrus Staff CEDRUS STAFF, finding that there was likely to he a small deft- t unless more money could he secured, decided to stage a play. The ay selected by the staff, after some discussion, was ‘The Wrong Ir. Wright. This was a typical farce and of a type that has been imul to be popular in Ccdarvillc. The cast was made up of mem- bers of all the classes and was an exceptionally talented group. Mr. Turnbull played the part of the gallant young captain, with Miss Oglcsbcc as the heroine. They made a handsome looking couple, and were excellent in their roles. Mr. Ray played the part «if the eccentric Mr. Wright and was madly smitten by the charms of the young lady detective, played by Miss Dorothy Wilson. Miss Betty Gifford and Mr. Stormont played opposite; she as the young maid who was ambitious to marry a real Lord, which was played by Mr. Stormont. Miss Gifford with her grammatical errors and Mr. Stormont with his I am a Killer, furnished much amusement for the crowd. Miss Gilford's solo dance brought a round of applause. Miss McPherson was quite striking as “The Unappropriated Angel,” and much of the success of the play was due to her clever acting. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Barlow gave splendid interpretations in their parts. Mr. Wills and Mr. Huston were live wires in their roles. The success of the play was due largely to the splendid and tireless labor of Mr. Markle who directed the performance. Mr. Marklc's ability as a player is well known and now he has become known for his ability as a director. The Staff wishes to thank all who had a part and also the village for supporting the play so royally. The Importance of Being Earnest It is always the custom in Ccdarvillc College to have one play a year in which the members of the student body have a chance to take part. This play is given before the Christmas Holidays and is always looked forward to by the students and people of Ccdarvillc. This year the play was given the last of November. The cast was made up entirely of Freshmen and Sophomores with the exception of one. Much new talent was developed, which we have used throughout the year, v It was a much heavier type of play than is usually given by the students of the college, and much credit is due both to the director, Miss Somers, and to those who y took the roles. The play was enlivened by some of the young gallants «if the col- ■ lege who attired themselves in flannels, regardless of the snow and season. They had provided themselves with beautiful bouquets of paper flowers, which they gracefully threw to their lady loves as the latter came out on the stage. This was Seventy-seven Husher (in chemistry lab): “Now what do wc do with this solution?

Larry, thoughtfully: Oh, about two seats away We really hate to publish this but it has been rumored that when Prof. Ialcott was a mere child ami held the honored position of organist in a small church, the organ was pumped by an obstreperous old sexton who would often stop when he thought the Voluntary had lasted long enough. One Sunday when the young prodigy was particularly anxious to make a good impression on a visit' ing clergyman he wrote a note and handed it to the sexton. Instead of reading it himself and in spite of little John’s gesticulations the sexton carried it directly to the preacher. Imagine that gentleman's astonishment when he read, “Please oblige me this morning by blowing away until I give you the signal to stop.” Signed J. A. T. Bobby Kalp: “Doctor, will you please give me something for my head? Doctor: “I wouldn't take it for a gift. Dick Cooper: “Doesn’t Mrs. Oglcsbcc stay in the parlor any more when the girls have callers? Ruth: No, we're trying out the honor system here now. Miss Somers (after the formal dinner was over): “Something very amusing happened at the table I was at. There wasn’t enough napkins to go around. Apt Learner: (name given on request): Why I thought napkins were to be left half folded and did not have to go around. Studc: Did you yell at me down town, sir? Prof. “No.” Studc: Some bum did.” 8cvcnty-oli{tit The CEDRUS 1924 Mary Townsley: “Miss Tinker says my translations would be better if they weren't so literal if 1 would only read between the lines more.” Dorothy Wilson: Well why don't you? Mary: I can't; its half erased.” Paul Orr: Look at that girl. She is as pretty as she can be. Tiffany: That's nothing. There arc a lot of girls in that fix on this campus. Prof. Jurkat: Listen closely to this lecture on History, you don't know any thing about this subject, you are all ignorant or else you wouldn't be here.” Staid Senior: Why on earth don’t you laugh when Prof. Jurkat tells a joke? Second Staid Senior: 1 don't have to. I'm leaving college at the end of this week. Prof. Fraser: Hushcr, what does A stand for? Hushcr: ''Just a minute, I've got it on the end of my tongue.” Prof. Frazer: Well spit it «nil. It's arsenic.” Mrs. Oglcsbec: How do you know that he was following you? Ann: Because he kept looking around to see if 1 wa$ coming. Lois: Walk, will you please run up the blind, we must not be so prominent. Walk: I am quite an athlete but I can't do that. When Ann Ord made her first appearance at the barber shop. Please Mister, just cut off ten cents worth. Don Wickerhain in Plane Geometry: Can you prove the proposition, that the square of the hypotenuse of a rt. angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides? Markle: I don't have to prove it, I admit it.” Prof. Robison: There are many different classes of people, the leisure class for instance. Howard Arthur: Thats me. Prof. Robison: 1 thoroughly agree with you. Miss Koehler: Mr. McCoy you must think that this class is a barn. Me.: Why? Miss Koehler: Just one stall after another. Dick Cooper: Dearest, I must marry you. Ruth: Have you seen father? Dick: Often, honey, but I love you just the same. Doctor Finney to Betty Gilford: Something stems to be the matter with your heart. To give it a name it is Angina Pectoris. ULI . Betty: No, that isn't his name at all. You'll have to guess again. ■ —--.CjteVY� Sovonty nlm The CEDRUS 1924 A VERY LARQE CONTR1BUTINQ FACTOR TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS BOOK IS THE ADVERTISINQ.

Apparently they set out with the determination to please every imnn who expresses an interest In new clothes, regardless of his age, vocation, proportion and taste. Stylos in men's clothes do not change over night, because men are not as susceptible to the whims of fashion as is the fair sex. Hut a change In style In men’s clothes does occur about every so often, and this Spring marks the transaction from the typical American to the Americanized British idea in suit and topcoats. It is because of this tendency toward a different type of clothing that stocks of men’s clothing afford so wide a latitude In selection. So. the man in search of new clothes can llnd exactly what lie wants with surpris- ing little offort. He may choose tin cleanout, form-tracing style that ha long been associated with the vigorous, athletic American. Or, he may go in for the British Idea which achieves smartness by straight linos and a free-and-easy swing and swank. A style that looks well on almost every figure slender, stout, or in between. Topcoats, and of course, every well dressed man «mist have one nowadays, are cut over comfortable lines, too. Bather full-skirted, draping easily from the shoulders. Some Styles have a belt at the hack, hut the favored style seems to he the straight back effect. Willie men have come to accept the conventional stripe in its many variations; or the solid shades in blue, gray and brown, they are due for a surprise this season. Designers and weavers evidently decided to give the men folk a treat this Spring. We have never seen such a wealth of rich color as the new fabric display. Powdr blue, sapphire gray, crushed blue, mauve, ocean green, and many others. And the interesting feature Is that none of them oversteps the hounds of good taste. So. men can approach the task of selecting new clothes this Spring with the com- fortublo assurance that selection has been simplified through the efforts of designers, weavers and tailors.

Suddenly he threw his whole being into the battle with a show of awful energy. The combat assumed gigantic proportions. Then the larger emitted a terrible roar, and the contest ceased.
