Under Ids ellieient lcadcrshio the status of the College continues to become stronger. All on the campus, as well as former students, are conscious of tin- honor of having for President one who has held that honorable and onerous position for eleven years. For thirty-two years Dr. McChesney has been a member of the Faculty. May his years of active service reach the half-century mark! Another one of our Faculty has seen all the classes, from 1.S97 to 1920, come and go. When the members of the Class of 1930 graduate, we expect Dr. Jurkat to be in his oflice to receive the new Freshmen and also their money, and so help them take their first steps toward securing their college degrees. From 189G to 1921 many came as professors to add their contributions to the development of Ccdarville College, but none of them are with us to-day except in spirit. In 1922 Professor Fraser joined the Faculty as head of the Department of Science. In vacation «lays he serves the College as a Usher of men (Freshmen). As Chairman of the Athletic Committee he has done much to bring our athletics to the present status. Professor Itobison also came in 1922. In September of that year he took charge of the work in the Departments of Bible and Social Science. The following year lie was chosen Dean of the College. Dr. Talcott became Director of the Department of Music in 1923. Under his ellieient guidance the department has advanced until it commands the admiration and commendation of all friends of the College, lie has given to the College and the community a higher regard for music than was known before he came to us. As the head of the Department of education Professor Smith became one of us in 1924. In order to keep him busy we have given him a share in the Departments of Knglish and History. He has made it possible for us to add two new courses to the History curriculum. In September, 1925, we added three new members to our numbers. Miss Dolby, in the Department of French and Knglish, is doing much to main- tain the standards of these departments. She has made it possible to add a course in Journalism to the Knglish curriculum. Miss Kicving. as Registrar and Secretary to the President, is doing a work that is yearly becoming more important as the College grows in si e and as its repu- tation becomes more widespread. Professor Tuttle has guided the activities of our athletic teams. Creditable performance has been the rule, whether we were victors or victims. Courses in Coaching have been added to the department. One more worker we feel honored in numbering with us because of her sym- pathy. counsel, ami co-operation. Miss Koehler came as Director of the (Ireene County Normal School when it was located on our campus in 1923. Her services to the college Department of education, and in all College activities have been rendered as if she were a regular member of the College Faculty, and thus in spirit we consider her. The successful achievement of the Normal is due to her untiring scholarly endeavor. We know not what the future may bring; we know not how greatly the num- ber of professors may be increased; but we trust that the Faculty of Ccdarville College may ever, as now. be united in its desires and endeavors for the realiza- tion of the high ideals that were in the minds of the founders.

Senior Class History One morning in chapel. Dr. McChesncy informed the students that the largest class in tlu history of the College would graduate this Spring—namely, the Class of '20. Is it possible that four long years have passed since we, as poor Freshmen, gave ourselves into the hands of the professors? Yes. and they have patiently and earnestly waited for the day when we would be delivered from their hands. During the four years, Time, in its own way, has made many changes in the class. Each year some dropped by the wayside, but we have kept the faith, and we are proud to say that the majority of the class are of the original number. We are modest in singing our own praises, but we will admit that we arc unique and versatile. In all student activities, from Gospel teams to bnrhering for Freshmen, our members have been actively engaged. In our College song we sing, At Cednrville College we get our athletes,” and the Seniors lend the ranks. Literary Societies, Y. W. C. A., Y. M. C. A., the Student Body Government and Cedrus Stall', all look to this class for leadership and guidance. As to scholarly attainments, our members have always ranked among the highest. Several members of the Crown Club are to be found in our ranks, and a number of instructors and assistants have been chosen from our class also. Wc have a record of having the first class feed of each year, and only once in the four years have our plans for a feed been thwarted. We remember with sor- row one night behind the old Hour mill when our delicacies were consigned to a watery grave. That splash rings in our ears yet, hut our motto is: If we do not eat, no one else eats.” However, the memories are sweet. Our pep is always evident. Many times we have been accused of lacking that dignity and nobility that befits Seniors, bid cannot “Forget that we are Seniors to be thrown out. For we pass this way but once.” Have we ever been tried and found wanting? Never! Have we ever missed anything? Impossible! Have we been essential to the life of the College? Yes. indeed! How will it exist without us? Well, that is for the Trustees and Faculty to worry about. Now Commencement Day draws near, ami with it will come the usual joys ami sorrows. Ne are waiting to hear all the nice things that will be said about us, and wonder what the theme of the eulogy will be. We are going into «livers ways of life, and our interests will lie far apart; but we are sure we can all say with the poet: “From founts of dawn our joyous college days Have rippled like the brook right pleasantly .Half-way to noon. Bui now with widening turn, makes pause In happy retrospection locked We backward look.” —ir. •:. .9.

Dkau It ; We do not vvomlcr lhal you arc so interested in the Junior ('.lass. We are alwavs glad lo have folks ask about us. Our class is really delightful, vou know. May lie we can tell you just a little concerning it. There are twenty-seven members in our class and we are all striving for a well-balanced education. In athletics we are well represented on each of the llrst teams; and for the last two years we have been winners in the class tournaments. On the religious side of our college life we are represented on both the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. ('.. A. cabinets. Our class parties are tilled with wholesome fun. We have had jolly times together this year at the oyster supper at the home of Willard Harlow, the Valentine party at Hubert Turnbull's, and the “feed” at Ward CreswelPs. “The I.ion and the .Mouse,” the Junior play, was said lo have been one of the best college plays given in Ccdarvillc. All the parts were well acted, and the play was well received. Don’t you think we deserve honorable mention? We do. We really don’t want lo give you the wrong impression of us hut we are a splendid group of boys and girls, and we will always be true to dear old Cedarville College and loyal to the class of the Crimson and the Gray.

The Sophomores! Last year we laid the founda- tions for a «real class, and. true to all plans, that class has made their appearance in every activity of the College. Class rooms, sports, spreads, literary societies. V. M. and Y. Y. officers and members, assistants Io The Cedrus stall'; in fact, in everything that is progressive there will be found the necessary quota of Sopho- mores. They simply cannot do without us. and it is no more ihan fair to admit that we cannot do without these various activities, for the Sophomores of to-day gained their reputation last year as a progressive class, and it would he impossible lo fail now. The class, though not as large as last year, has maintained its standing in the line of athletics. The football team gained their Captain and quarter from our ranks, as well as one tackle, two ends, the center of Wilmington fame, and the Hash fullback, Son of Old Man Adaih. Not bad. considering that this is only our second year at Cedarville. The basketball team, of course, was well sprinkled with Sophomores, live men from the first eight being recruited from the versatile ranks of the Sophs, and doing their share in bringing the team through with living colors. The girls’ team, as well as the boys, had to have some from our class; so two centers, a forward, and guard were elected to represent the Sophomores in this line of athletics. Baseball was not slighted, for the team needed a couple ol good pitchers and a good catcher, to say nothing of other places tilled, lo insure a winning season. We neglect no field of endeavor, as witness the results of the intcrclass tournament, the boys taking first place and the girls sec- ond. Every collage needs a cheer leader; so, naturallv. one of our clas stepped into that position when Mr. Markle left us. We shine in the class room as well. A Sophomore always has his best foot forward; consequently you see us at the head of our various classes, lo say noth- ing of instructors and assistants who spring from our ranks. Professor Smith might give us a recommendation (?) as the hope and despair of his English classes. Considering the time we are forced to spend in the various college activities, it is nothing short of marvelous that we rank so well in the class room; but, then, con- sidering the exceptional qualities of our class, nothing else could be expected. But. enough of commonplace things that everyone knows would come from such a class. Let us bring forth celebrities that are confined to Sophomores and to that class alone. First, we have the only man who was ever married while still a student at Cedarville. No small honor, that. Again, two of Ccdarville’s big busi- ness men are members of our class (names on request). A basketball referee noted for his honesty and squareness claims the honor of being one of us. Two Assistant Seoul Masters of the local troop, one Sabbath School Superintendent, and [he head of the local Deformed Presbyterian Christian Endeavor Society, come from this illustrious group. All of which goes to prove that a class must be interested in its town and churches before it can lay claim to true greatness! Frankly, we ask you Classes of '2(i. 27. 29. did you excel us? —It.

I Freshman Class History It is n famous date in the history of old Cedarville College, that day in early September, when an eager hand of Freshmen, with high hopes and lofty ambitions, entered the portals of College Hall upon a life whose pathways are paved with the joys and trials that only a Freshman can know. Our first opinions of the professors were favorable, though in some cases they became rather doubtful when we received our first lesson assignments. All in all, though, we decided to remain a while and give them a trial. The upper classmen gave us a hearty welcome and introduced us immediately to college activities, even including in their hospitality free hair-cuts to several masculine members of our class. Thus far in our checkered career there are some events which are stamped indelibly upon the memory of this class. Among our joys we count the lirst Freshman watermelon feed, which was a success, excepting for the slight inter- ference of the upper classmen, who expected to share in the refreshments, but were disappointed. Then there was the feed given at the Anderson home, where we were royally entertained without the aid of our college superiors, who by this time had learned the folly of attempting to direct Freshman affairs. Finally, traditional enmities were so far forgotten that on the evening of February 10, a “Froshmore” frolic and spread was staged, and if we remember correctly, we caught a string of suckers. Our trials have been many and varied; for example, the shock and sorrows of the expected quiz given at the unexpected time, and the heartlessness of the Faculty’s decision that we observe class-cuts, and examination rules; but the joy- ous days far outweigh these few unhappy hours. Our class has given of her talent in all College activities, and several whose names are enrolled in her list, are recognized and honored upon the gridiron and on the basketball floor. Since that memorable first day we have welcomed some new members to our ranks and to a few have sadly bidden farewell. Though our number be large or small, we have stood, and shall always stand, for loyalty to the Orange and the Blue; and with these colors we shall write our history of achievements during the next three years. —a. Green County Normal CLASS HISTORY In the Autumn of 1925, just ns the leaves were decking themselves with beau- tiful colors, the doors of the (ireen County Normal School opened, calling together twelve women and two young men, from various parts of Ohio, to he enrolled as Normal students. Although our tasks have been hard, we have enjoyed many good times together. After class one day, we were walking down through the campus, and all of a sudden we heard a chattering up in a tree. We looked and saw a squirrel building its nest. Someone spoke, and the squirrel dropped a piece of paper which Miss Koehler had lost, reading: The Characteristics of My ('.lass.” We feel that she would liave others see us as she does, and this will reveal to you a secret: XEDHA WILSON, Clifton, Ohio Wilson So cunning and shy.

The Seminary is endeavoring to set forth Jesus Christ in such a way that its students will be well prepared for their tasks as preachers and pastors. Dr. McChesncy, the Dean, teaches Systematic Theology. Creek and Apologetics. Dr. F. A. Jurkat deals with Church History. Hebrew, and Classical Creek. Hcv. B. E.

Hut it seems one might sag. love cannot give ns an idea of music, while music expresses love. Hat why separate the one from the other? Are theg not the two wings of the stall?”—Berlioz. Tin status of music in education has changed radically in the past few dec- ades. Until quite recently it was looked upon as a pleasant accomplishment, with little practical value. Hut now music is coming into its own. Educators every- where are realizing its splendid disciplinary value as well as its practical and aesthetic worth. At the present time a college without a course in music is greatly handicapped. Although Ccdurvillc is small, it is making a splendid attempt to give music its rightful place. The Department of Music has been growing steadily and has a present enrollment of forty-nine. The efficient professor of this department is .1. A. Talcotl. Mus. Doc. Dr. Talcott is a graduate of the Cleveland Piano School, the Georgia School of Technology, and the Hoyal College of Organists, of London. England. He has also studied voice under Charles S. Burnham, and choir direc- tion under J. Powell Jones, of Wales. Dr. Talcott offers courses in Piano, Organ, Voice. Harmony, and History of Music. During the past year special instruction has also been given on the Saxophone, and Clarinet. A coiirse in Violin is offered by Marion Frock, of Springfield. In order that Dr. Talcott may be able to give more lime to his advanced students, and to other work in Ccdurvillc. and the neighboring communities, he is assisted in the primary teaching by Miss Mac McKay, a student in the College. The studio is located in the rear of the College Library Building. Here the instruction in music is given privately in thirty- or forty-minute periods. All students are expected to appear in a public recital, usually given during Com- mencement Week. In addition, concerts are often given by the advanced students at the close of the Fall Term. When the required work has been completed, the pupil receives a diploma of graduation from the department. The College encour- ages work in music by allowing eight hours as electives for the A.B. degree. Most of the pupils are studying music merely for their own enjoyment. Keeping this in mind, the department endeavors to ground all students in the technique of music, and to instil real musical interpretation; it endeavors to train students to receive the inspiration that comes from music, and the kindred arts, and to he able to appreciate the classical gems, and the masters in music. —M. I). r ujr Flfty-slx I'flEDRUS •• 1926 Bits of Harmony and Discord THE COLLEGE CHOIR Anyone knowing of a baton not in use. kindly notify Prof. II. H. Smith. Nothing else is lacking to make him a real musical director. Great com- mendation is due Prof. Smith for his efforts in organizing a college choir. Although the choir has not had regu- lar practice, it has furnished appro- priate music for the Bible Heading Contest, the Day of Prayer, and spe- cial chapel services. Music occupies an increasingly important place in re- ligious worship; therefore we hope our choir may continue, and become a per- manent college institution. Two interesting musical produc- tions were given this year. The Y. V. C. A. presented “The King of Glory,” a sacred service, on the evening af December 21. On February 24 the M. K. Young Ladies give an operetta, “The Feast of the Bed Corn.” in which the leading roles were taken by col- lege girls. RADIO BROADCASTING “This is Station YHAY broadcast- ing the regular Wednesday evening program.” So far nothing startling. But listen! The next feature on the evening’s program will be a group of Christmas carols, to be sung by the Misses Johnson. Burns, Ilifte, and Bur- biek, pupils of I)r. Talcott.” Then we were thrilled as we heard the voices of our own C. C. girls. Luther’s Cra- dle Hymn was sung by Buth Burbick. and then followed several carols by the quartet. To many of us the pro- gram was a prophecy of the future be- fore Cedarville talent. MUSICAL TRADITIONS Miss Koehler is not all stern prac- ticality. Quite often she forgets the problems of a teacher and suggests delightful plans for C. (’. One of the best of these was the idea of singing Christinas carols around a lighted cedar on the campus. Had not the Faculty unexpectedly given us an ex- tra day of vacation, this plan would have been carried into action. But why not look forward to this next year and make it a college tradition? Other colleges have annual “sings,” either at holiday or commencement time, and our campus would furnish an ideal setting for such an alVair. Speaking of musical traditions, does not Cedarville College need a Glee Club or Choral Society? Such so- cieties are vital parts of most colleges. They give excellent musical training and enjoyment, and rest overtaxed minds, as well as advertise the col- lege. What achievement could be more worthy than the founding of a musical club that would last down through the years? At least one member of the College Faculty is musically inclined, as the Observation Class will testify. Well do we remember the morning we plod- ded through the pouring rain to seven- o’clock class, only to discover that Prof. Smith had not yet returned from “Bose-Marie.” Oh, well, it was a fine production, and we don’t blame him; also, Carl Shanks urges that we do not be loo stern in condemning the pro- fessor.

At the beginning of the First Semester, the Faculty permitted the student body the privilege of using the College Chapel, for meetings, on Thursday evenings. The purpose of this arrangement was to allow the students more time for their meet- ings. Before this time the meetings had been held after the chapel hour, and they interrupted the class schedule. At the last September meeting of the students, it was decided that the football squad needed new blankets badly, and that the student body should raise funds to purchase these blankets. In less than a week’s time the students and Faculty had donated sufficient money to purchase fifteen blankets, and these were duly pre- sented to a very grateful team. Ccdarville College was represented at the Students’ World Court Conference held at Princeton College. Princeton, N. J.. in December. 1925.

This year’s Kditor was very fortunate, however, in having a eompetent and efli- cient staff, to co-operate with him. For the most part, the stall' members were new in their respeetive positions, hut they soon acquainted themselves with the mysteries of this work, and went at their various tasks with determination. The I‘.I2(‘ Calms is the result of their efforts. We are very grateful to Prof. II. II. Smith, tin Family Adviser, for his valuable assistance throughout the year; also, to the various students and professors who have contributed articles and helped us in other respects. This hook is of the College, and its pages were inspired by devotion to our institution. It is meant to portray another year, full of labor, sport, friendship, and love, for you to keep fresh in your memory during tin- years to come, by turning its pages. If you can thus recall the many happy hours spent at old C. C. in I92.V2G, our task is well done, and we shall feel amply repaid for our efforts. —Hun.hi P. Myers. Philadelphian Literary Society OFFICERS Treasurer Vice President Carl Shanks Elizabeth Harnett President Secretary Robert Choate Ruth Collins “We must he loyal to a trust, act promptly, concentrate our energies, do the tiling—Carry a Message to Garcia.” —Elbert Hubbard. In the above statement lies the secret of the success of the Philadelphian Literary Society in the past year. The society has been decidedly successful, even though not as large in numbers as last year. We feel that the contact and practical experience gained, both from hearing the various programs and appear- ing on them, has been, and will continue to be. of greatest value. The effort is being constantly made at Cedarvillc College, by all those who are connected with it. to improve any branch of endeavor in which they may be interested, and the Literary Societies have not proven exceptions to this rule. The talents of the students of Cedarville are many, and we believe that Hubbard’s Message to Garcia has been of greatest help in bringing them to light this year. Some difficulty was experienced at the beginning of the year in reorganizing, due to the loss of the greater number of oflicers of the preceding year. After a short time new oflicers were elected, and plans were laid for the coming semesters. No doubt it would be of interest to those who are not familiar with the work ll6CEDRU$ l926 wc have been doing to learn of tin various plans which have proven so successful. The keynote to it all has been the idea of giving something at each meeting that would he of service to the hearers. Thus originated the plan of reviewing the life and works of some classical author or poet at each meeting. (This plan has been more than worthy of the effort expended to make it possible, as proven by the interest taken, and the praise given this particular phase of the work.) Another series of artieles which aroused much favorable comment were the ones prepared and delivered by Professor Smith's South American History Class on South Amer- ica. The Philadelphian Literary Society has always been noted for the original- ity of its members, and this has been aptly proven in the short-story contest, which took place early in the year. Musical numbers are welcome wherever a group of students are gathered together, and we have been exceptionally fortunate in that line, an extensive and varied program having been one of the chief attractions throughout the year. Another pfnn which promises to be of more than common interest is the reviewing each meeting of the hobby of some one of the members. Though the main idea throughout the year has been to give practical benefit, the lighter side has not been neglected, and many amusing sketches and dialogues have been given from time to time. We believe that the societies are improving from year to year, and feel safe saying that this year’s work in the Philadelphian Hall has poven a success in in every way. and conic keep in mind the i'.'niK ‘'o' .vein s worn m me r in inoeipnian nail lias poven a success in y way. An appreciation of literature, music, and art is needed bv everyone, any work which gives this to us necessarily ranks high. In the years to C, Philadelphians, let us make every effort to improve our society and ever ‘Message to Garcia. —H. C. Philosophic Literary Society OFFICERS President Vice President Donald Funk Charles Townsley Secretura Treasurer Loren a Sharp Gladys McDonald In the second year of the history of the College, 1895, a number of students organized the Philosophic Literary Society. They realized the advantage that would he gained in the opportunity along oratorical and musical lines. Beginning with January 0. 189(5, meetings were held weekly in the College Chapel, until in December, 189(5, the Philosophic Hall was elaborately furnished. We have since been deprived of the hall for our place of meeting, for it is now used as the College office. In 1917 both Literary Societies were displaced by the Orange and Blue Club. In 1923 the former plan was revived and the Philadelphian and Philosophic Socie- ties were reorganized. Fortnightly meetings are held, in which we endeavor to develop our talents along literary lines. In inter-society contests Philosophic has always taken her share of the prizes, and never has the banner of the “Green and White” lacked those who would carry it forward to victory. Ever since its organization Philosophic has stood for all that is best in literary lines. Many of C. C.’s representative orators have been chosen from her ranks. Throughout the school year programs were given in commemoration of vari- ous occasions; holidays, and birthdays of men of importance ami of literary fame. Besides the usual readings, recitations, and musical selections, many other forms of entertainment were given, including impromptu speeches, debates, and essays. 9 ft I Realizing (hat no organization is complete without the social activities, our society has not neglected this phase of life. From time to time during the year a short social hour was held, sometimes after the regular literary program, and business; and sometimes the whole evening was given over to the Kntertainment Committee of the society. No one sat hack and looked on, because love for fun was manifested by all in the good, lively games. The enthusiasm of the leaders as they directed the games helped to inspire the plavers to even greater enthu- siasm. Probably the most typical and most enjoyable social event in which the so- ciety participated was the commemoration of Washington’s birthday. After the rendering of a very titling program, a goodly number of the members remained to be further reminded of the “Father of Our Country by taking part in games suit- able for the occasion. Nor must we fail to mention the good home-made ice- cream. and the cookie hatchets, which were refused by no one. The success of the society cannot be fully measured now, but we feel sure that it will be in the future. Kach individual member who has helped arrange and render the various programs has received some benefit which will remain with him throughout the years to come. We feel sure that no discredit will be brought to old C. C.. but rather that our Alma Mater will be an institution of more fame because of us. Although it seemed hard for us to perform, vet we trust that this initial step in appearing before the public will be the stepping stone that will cause our present members in later life to look back through the years with pride on the memory of the Philosophic Literary Society. — •'.

A. girls attended the annual V. V. C. A. Con- ference which was held at Ohio Wesleyan (.'Diversity at Delaware, Ohio. They returned brimming with plans and ideas. This year’s work has been the result of I heir hearty co-operation. The V. W. C. A. has endeavored throughout the year to instil in the minds of the girls what the association stands for, and the work that it has to accomplish not only as a local organization, but as a world-wide institution. The programs of the year under the guidance of our hard-working Program Chairman have held this end in view. Toward the first of the year a series of meetings were eon- ducted. with the “Charm School” as the subject. General discussion took place and all the girls felt that they could not afford to miss any of the meetings. At the beginning of the Second Semester the weekly meetings were given over to the study of a book entitled “Student Relief in Europe.” and as a result the girls were given an insight into the conditions of European students. The outcome of this study was the V. W. pledge of a certain sum to the Student Friendship Fund. There would have been a decided lag in the College spirit many times during the year if it had not been for the untiring efforts of Y. W. Social Committee. A tea given the afternoon College was opened helped the girls to know each other by name as well as face. Before cold weather came a unique idea was carried out in the form of a treasure hunt. Another social function was the “Kid Party. when all the girls changed their costumes and actions for a short time. This association has tried to keep uppermost in its mind and to obey the V. V. C. A. Motto: We unite in the determination to live unreservedly Jesus’law of love in every relationship, and so to know God. —j. r. Cedatville College Y. M. C. A.

Robison Marvin Williams Cospel Team Faculty Program Committee Every young person to-day is seeking the best way to live. The perfect way is to follow the principles and teachings of Jesus Christ. The Y. M. C. A. seeks to point out the fact that Jesus Christ is the Way. the Truth, and the Life. Before any organization can be appreciated, it must give something of real, practical worth. The programs of our regular Wednesday meetings have been varied. Several speakers of note have been brought by the Y. M. C. A. to the College. Quite a number of joint meetings of the Young Men’s and Young Wom- an’s Christian Associations have been held, and both associations have received great benefit. We hope that the splendid co-operation between the Y. M. and Y. W. will continue in the future as it has in the past year. The Y. M. C. A. has been seeking a closer relationship between the neighbor- ing colleges and Cednrville. Last spring the local cabinet was invited to Witten- berg to meet in session with them. Later the President of the Wittenberg Col- lege Y. M. A. conducted the installation of our new Y. M. C. A. cabinet. This spring the Wilmington College Y. M. C. A. ami Y. W. C. A. cabinets entertained the local cabinets with a six-o’clock dinner, which was followed by a discussion of common campus problems. We are anxious to see these relationships encouraged in the future, and a stronger fellowship grow out of the co-operation of the neigh- boring colleges. The Y. M. C. A. officers have expressed their pleasure in regard to the splendid co-operation of the faculty and the men of the college. Everyone has been inter- ested in the work and bigger things are in store for the coming year. —C. It. S. Paar Sixly-nim- The College Orchestra J. A. TALCOTT, M.A., Mus.

On the Friday before Christmas, the Cedarville Orchestra joined with the Antioch College Orchestra, which is also directed by Dr. Talcott, in an evening of Christmas carols. The program was given in the Presbyterian Church at Yellow Springs, where a large audience enjoyed the oppor- tunity of hearing the joint orchestra play, and of singing the traditional melodies. This has been the only public appearance of the orchestra, but we hope that after another semester of training it may he prepared to take part in the program of Commencement Week. —M. I).

It consists of three rooms—a kitchen, «lining room, and a waiting room. The College Hoarding Club has been in existence almost as long as the College, starting in the early days with ten or twelve members. The present membership numbers well over fifty and is increasing each year. This club is managed and controlled by the students, and its existence de- pends upon their support. At the end of each year a student is elected by the members to represent the club and to serve as Steward for the current year. Meals are served to the members at cost. Last spring Krnest Gibson was elected Steward. He took up his duties in the fall, hut was unable to remain in college because of ill-health. The management was then turned over to Carl Shanks, who has served admirably throughout the year. Mrs. Clara Morton has been Matron of the club for a number of years, and the members are very grateful for the many excellent meals she has served. The club is not merely an institution for providing sustenance, but a place where students come into closer contact with each other. Manv are the friend- ships that have had their beginnings here. At the club topics of the «lay are dis- cussed. personal experiences related, and opinions gathered.

This building was given by the donor as a memorial to his parents—the late Reverend John Alford, D.R., and Mrs. Mary R. Alford. Last November Mr. W. J. Alford. Sr., gave the College twenty thousand dollars to remodel and expand the building. Additions will he made on the north and south side, and the building will he extended on the east end. The old vestibule partition will be taken down; exits will be made on the north and south sides in addition to the one in the front. A new front will be erected for entrance and ticket room. The playing floor for basketball will be seventy-live by forty-two feet. A stage will be erected in the east end of the building; in the northeast cor- ner dressing rooms for home and visiting teams of the girls, and shower baths, will he put in; in the southeast corner of the building a kitchen will he put in; and in the basement dressing rooms for home and visiting teams of the boys; and the furnace room. The seating arrangements for games will be on the north and south sides, and will accommodate about eight hundred persons; and, when the building is used for commencement occasions, the basketball floor will give an additional seating capacity of two or three hundred. The building will be stuccoed on the outside, and a new lighting and water system will be installed throughout. It will be one of the most beautiful and capacious buildings of its kind in this part of Ohio. Sitting. Left to Bight—Peters, Coy, Hunt, Adair, Captain Stoll , Townsley, Shanks, Curry, Bockhold. Orr.

Football The day was dark But the boys were bright. As the tackles opened the hole. And the rain, by heck, Ban down their neck As the Captain crossed the goal. Mud Bain—Bain, and more Mud! Such was the theme of the weatherman’s cheers as he gallantly led his cohorts, the elements, to victory over the mud- besmeared jerseys of the Yellow Jackets. Only twice in the season did he fail to show up, and the showing made in these two games by the wearers of the Orange and Blue goes to prove that he was the chief of our Jinxes. The season opened with a victory over t'rbana. And what a victory it was! Bright sunshine, cheering crowds, a fast field, and a game that was full of long runs and thrilling passes. The Blue and White of t'rbana could not withstand the rush of our players, and the game ended 27-0. with the 27 very close to Cedarvillc on the scoreboard. Our next game was with our rival school in Indiana, and we regret to write that we were on the short end of a 13-0 score. Both teams played good ball, but very little sensational playing was seen. The principal attraction was the refrain sung by both teams to the tune of the “Saturated Song.” Fumbles, Fumbles. Fumbles! such were the words marked against our team in the “affair” with Defiance. The Yellow Jackets would gain control of the ball, work it up to the goal line, and. when everything was over but the shouting, they would lost control of the muddy pigskin ami then would have to start all over again. Yes, Pluvius played the major part of the game; and, «lue to his untiring efforts, the game ended in a scoreless tie. Our next game was played at home, and our (friendly?) enemies were the gallant men of Findlay. The game almost terminated in a “mud-slinging party. hut by the timely intervention of the officials at critical points in the game it «level- oped into a mere dust-raising in the clinches. The outstanding part of the game came when Larrie Currie placed a drop kiek from the forty-yard line, directly over the goal posts. Tuttle’s men did their best, hut the Findlay hoys got the breaks of the game and won by a score of 15-3. History repealed itself at Itio Grande. The high elevation was too much for our hoys, accustomed to the “great open spaces.” (It we lost to the martial tunes of “It Ain’t Gonna Main No Mo.”) At Xenia we played our Swan Song of the season when Capital Came, Saw, and Conquered. Again it was the little imp named ‘’Fumble” that lost for us in the closing minutes of play and gave Capital a 6-0 victory. According to the sport writers of the Columbus dailies, the Yellow Jackets outplayed Katherman’s men in all departments of the game; but. of course, words on paper won’t change the score; but just ask a follower of the Orange and Mine which had the best team that day. and see if you don’t guess right. So once again our football season has become history. Ami a history that we are proud l« publish.

Large, small, and medium teams all fell before the onrush of the Cednrvillc College Yellow Jackets. After several preliminary struggles with minor teams we engaged the mighty livers from Dayton L . and what a game it was! Dr. Mac’s boys played rings around the Dayton team; shot baskets from any angle of the Moor; passed and dribbled at will; and. in short, shot holes in the Flyers’ defense until it was feared their “plane” would crumple into hits before they could reach the ground. For all followers of the Orange and Blue it was a glorious victory, and it taught the Flyers that they must ascend to a higher altitude before attempting to engage in battle with the Cedarville team. Our next engagement of note was played with Antioch, and we almost added another scalp to our already long list of trophies. The game opened with both teams playing exceptionally good ball. The Hour work of the Yellow Jackets was all that could be asked for. but when the ball was worked close to the basket it seemed as if it would not go through the net. There was never more than three points difference in the score throughout the game, with first Cedarville and then Antioch leading. With a minute to play and Cedarville one point in the lead, the old “reliable” player of Antioch heaved the ball through the net and won the game for his team. An invitation was extended to the Brill Bros, and was accepted, providing Ihcy could play llu second team. The Brill Bros, was a team composed of pro- fessional stars from Xenia and Beaver, and they had little trouble in running up a large lead in the first half, hut this proved their undoing. A man noted for his wise sayings once remarked that “pride goeth before a fall.” and theirs was no exception in this case. With many points to their credit, they invited the first team to finish the game. The invitation was accepted by three of the first-string- ers, and in ten minutes’ time they had evened the score and were leading the Brills when the game ended. If space permitted, a great deal more could be written about the wearers of the Orange and Blue. They were not victorious all the time, hut they did win the majority of the games. They are to he congratulated for the clean sportsmanlike manner of their conduct throughout the season. Bach year our team is gaining both in fame and victories, and with the advan- tages of the new gymnasium they will win more and greater trophies for the Orange and Blue. While not the major sport at Cedarville College, baseball does not take a back seat when the laurels are handed out. Though not a pennant-winning team and with but few great victories to its credit, the team of 1925 was far from a failure. The outstanding victory was the game with the Clifton A. C.’s, a club composed of semi-professional men. This club is considered the best team in the Clark County League. Also, in their annual struggle with the Alumni, the Yellow Jackets were victorious. With the 1920 season just starting, much is expected by the wearers of the Orange and Blue. BASKETBALL SCORES Defiance Defiance Dayton I' Wilmington 25 43 17 13 22 CC 20 35 •25 Bliss ...............

GAMES The daughters of the Orange and Blue carried olT the laurels of their opening game of the season when they defeated the Springfield girls on the home floor. December 21. 1925. In the first «inarter the College girls seemed to have their opponents entirely outclassed. During the next two time periods the Springfield girls rolled up a score that hade fair to fix the decision, hut in the last «piarter the Ccdarville baskctccrs with a mighty effort tipped the balance and emerged with a 26-25 victory. Springfield Business College girls met C. 0. girls in the college gymnasium. Did the girls win? Please notice the score—39-11. All did excellent work and succeeded in ucwildcring the visitors. Conch Tuttle, in the final «piarter. sent in substitutes until all hut one of the team had been retired, yet the whirlwind kept up and Springfield could not locate the basket. February 12 the girls’ s«|und met for the second time the Springfield Y. W. C. A. team. This time on their home floor. The first half of the game having been completed, the score stood 10-7 in favor of Springfield. The Ccdarville team then settled down to hard work and the game ended 31-25 in Ccdarville’s favor. The girls’ team made their first venture in playing boys’ rules February 15. when they met the Dayton Power and Light C.irls on the Alford floor. The col- lege girls were rather brave to face such opponents because the team from Dayton held city championship there. By playing a hard game the Orange and Blue held the other team in check and the tilt ended 10-15 in favor of Dayton. 1‘otjc Eighty-tuo ommthcetneri Commencement Week, 1925 Tin beginning of tin end rolled 'round; And, as is the custom, found The Seniors in the merry whirl. On the night of May thirty-first— As a matter of fact, the worst. For warmer weather could not he found. No matter if one looked the wide world ’round— Seniors dropped as they were. In their black caps and gowns; They were (not perhaps) The hottest beings in town. Solemnly they wended their way to the front. Not a one stumbling, tho all on the hunt Of a choice front seat. The Baccalaureate services began; Speaking as only Doctor Mac can. He impressively challenged the Seniors, To put on the whole Armour of God, For the reign of the devil is broad. And each one should diligently seek Always to boldly speak. Monday night was a different tune. And we all agree 'twas true; “The Whole Town’s Talking” as the Senior play. Was a grand success I’ll say! For each one did his level best To make it a wee bit better than the rest. The Faculty reception next in line. Fit into the program, well—just fine.

Springtime.” Thursday another banquet the Alumni this lime. With the Seniors as honored guests did dine In the It. P. Church parlors. Then June fifth—their Commencement Day; And as all good stories ending, sav:— They lived happily ever after.” —Anon. Cedar Day at Cedacville College This day was originally observed in the early spring of the year. One of the important features was the planting of a cedar tree some place on the campus. In 1920 it was decided that Cedar Day could not he conveniently held during the school term. It was then given a definite day in Cedar Week, and has ever since been observed on Wednesday of Commencement Week. Last year we were favored with ideal weather for an out-of-door program. The afternoon was given over to a baseball game between the College and Alumni. After the game a pageant, entitled “Springtime,” was given. This old Greek myth of summer and winter furnished the background for the pageant. Ceres, the Goddess of the Seasons, has a daughter, Prospcrpinn. Cupid appears, shoots a dart at Pluto, who is lurking about, and another at Prosperpina. Pluto, God of the Underworld, seizes Prosperpina and carries her away to become his queen. Dances of sorrow and consolation arc given by Grecian maidens for Ceres. Ceres will not believe that her daughter is gone until a water nymph enters carrying a green scarf of Prosperpinn’s. Ceres then believes that her «laugh- ter has been swallowed up by the earth, and in anger pronounces a curse of deso- lation and winter upon it. Winter, North Wind and Snow Ball choruses depict this period of the year. A messenger from the Gods enters and tells Ceres that her daughter may return for six months of each year. Ceres then alters her curse, making six months winter and the remaining six summer. Summer immediately begins with a long, joyous procession bearing Prosperpina. She is declared Queen and is crowned by Ceres as Goddess of Spring or Queen of Cedar Day. Choruses representing llowers and sunshine dance before their Queen, concluding in the winding of the May Pole. Cedar Day at Ccdarvillc College is a day of reunion; and an old-fashioned, quaint holiday for the College, town, and community. May it never become a day of the past. —A. O.
