o Published bv the Students 192,7 THE CEDBUS 1927 iimiiiiiimim. Foreword Deep within the consciousness of every student is an intense desire to remember. All too soon are student days over, and record alone can bring them to mind with the happy recol- lection of former days. To project the faces and happen- ings of the past; to portray the joy of campus work and play; to suggest the glory of a still Greater Ccdarville College has been our aim in compil- ing this book. THE CEDRUS 192.7 Dedication To (he Greater Cedarville College —made possible by the true friends of the college who have given their generous support; by the adminis- tration whose careful planning has been the keynote of growth; by the vision of our kind and worthy Presi- dent; by the ever-changing blit ever loyal student group; by all the factors which have brought the Greater ('edarville to its realization — the Crimes of 1927 is dedicated. 192,7 THE CEDRUS Cedarville College () Cedarville, our college dear.

The task has been diflicult and progress has been slow, but il lias been sure and certain and far-reaching in its effect. Gradually, the college has been built up until the present day. Our President, Or. McChesney, came to bis ministry in this great undertaking in 1891 as Peter Gibson Professor of Green and Latin. Me has served in practically all phases of the work—as Professor, Registrar, Dean, Vice-President, and since 1915 he has been the Chief-Executive- having served twelve years as President over an ever-growing Student Body and Faculty. First Among Dr. McChesncy’s helpers and co-workers is Dr. Jurkat, who entered upon his career in the life of C. C. in 1895. He, too, has served in many capacities. He is now Treasurer of the college and Professor of History and German. Dean Robison came in 1922 as Harper Professor of Bible and Soci- ology. The next year he was appointed Dean, in which capacity he continues to serve. Professor Fraser also came the same year as Head of the Depart- ment of Science. The work of this department comprises the studies of Botany, Biology, Chemistry, and Zoology. Professor Fraser regularly has several assistants. In 1921 Dr. Talcott began his work as Head of the Department of Music and Director of Music in the college. This department was re- cently opened to students outside of the college. Professor Smith came also in 1921 and is Professor of Knglisli and Head of the Department of Education. Miss Dolby began her service in C. C. in 1925 as Professor of English and French and Dean of Women. The following year she was appointed Head of the Department of English. The same year, 1925, Miss Lieving came to C. C. as Secretary to the President, Registrar, and Head of the Department of French. In 192(5 Professor Borst took up his work as Coach of Athletics. Phys- ical Director, and Professor of Mathematics and Political Science. Miss Howland came to C. C. in 192(5 as Director of Greene County Normal. Due to her wide experience in the field of Education, Miss Howland has proved to be of much value to the college bv assisting in the Department of Education. Rev. S. M. Ingmire was added to the faculty at the beginning of the present year and has taught a class in Archaeology most acceptably. Cedarvillc College is growing -surely, rapidly, widely. The endow- ment is increasing annually, the college is ably equipped, and is meeting all the requirements of the Department of Education of the State of Ohio and the Student Body is ever growing in numbers and in quality. C. C. is mounting the ladder, taking her place among the more important and higher-ranking colleges of the country. She is, indeed, mounting— higher and higher. Then, how can we but dare call to our co-workers, our students, alumni, and friends “Excelsior! t'pward! Kvcronward! —Y.

In the fall of 1923 forty-six hoys and girls came to Ccdarville College ignorant of the meaning of a college education. There was no means by which we, as Freshmen, could immediately learn its secret. It is something that is unconsciously instilled into the lives of the students by those who have gone before. So after four short years, we are beginning to grasp the significance of what our education means to us. Some day, perhaps, we shall be able to appreciate the true value and influence of Ccdarville College. The Class of 1927 has given of its best to further all lines of activity. It has done all in its power to advance a bigger and better Ccdarville. Upon graduation it will not forget the happy days of work and play, but will strive to make real the vision of a still greater Ccdarville. ■ y ' 7 '7 7 V V V 7 7 '7 '7 '7 '7 '7 '7 '7 '7 '7 '7 '7 '7 '7 '7 '7 7 7 '7 '7 '7 1927 THE CEDRUS 1927 1111. 11II III.11« I.

Under the supervision of Miss Suzanne Koehler, a successful year was passed. At the opening of college in September of 192(5. six of the Normal students of the previous year returned to continue their course. In addi- tion to these, we welcomed two former Normal students, who had been teaching, and also a gentleman from the Springfield Normal. The rest of our old students have entered the teaching profession. We are fortunate in having Professor Smith as our worthy supervisor, and we believe he is equally proud of ns (?). We are his pels (?), and the least wc can do for him in the classroom is to occupy the front seals which he has so kindly reserved for us. At the opening of the second semester, we were promoted to the Senior (’.lass from the Sophomore group, an honor of which we are justly proud. It has taken us several weeks to acquire the dignified look of the other Seniors, but now we can associate with any of them and feci at ease. Ibis is the second year that a Two-Year Normal Course has been offered at Cedarville College. Hy an arrangement recently made with the State Department of education, a new curriculum has been adopted to supersede the former course. This curriculum meets all the requirements oi the North Central Association. Because of this advance step, we hope that a much larger class will be enrolled next year. —I).

Although these anticipations are foremost in our minds, we, the ('.lass of 1928. center great stress upon those more intangible achievements, such as the growth of a better school spirit, improved morale, and a greater co-operation between stu- dents and faculty. These we set as our jtoal in order that the Junior ('lass of Gedarville College may create a permanent impression, and that we may continue to strive to keep our college on the high and noble plane where it has stood and been recognized for years. —P.

GREENE COUNTY NORMAL During llic year of 102(5-27, the Greene County Normal lias been under the efficient direction of Miss Edna Howland, who, for the past eleven years, has been one of the foremost of the Ohio County Directors. She lias been affiliated with the Summer Schools of Wilmington and Muskingum Colleges. Other members of the Normal Staff arc: Mrs. Alice M. Horst, Director of the Departments of Geography and Hygiene; Mrs. Walter Corry, Director of Music; Dr. W. H. McChcsncy, President of Ccdarville Col- lege; and Professor II. II. Smith, Head of the Department of Education of the College. The Class of 192(5-27 is the largest in the history of the Greene County Normal. It is composed of five men and twenty-live women, represent- ing Warren, Clark, Fayette, Hutler, Madison, Pickaway, and Green Counties. The Greene County Normal has an advantage in being associated with the College. The students have the opportunity of taking part in regular college activities; such as, the V. W. C. A., the literary socie- ties, and college athletics. The present class, in availing themselves of these opportunities, has been represented on the college teams, and, among the girls, has had a onc-lnindred per-cent membership in the Y. W. C. A. On the evening of April 13 the Two-Year and County Normals, assisted hv students of the College, staged an Indian operetta, “Lela- wala”, which forcibly demonstrated the musical ability of the group. The operetta was directed by Mrs. Corry. From the very opening day the Normal has proved itself valuable. Much credit is due Miss Howland and her co-workers for the splendid co-operation with the College students and faculty. —E. M.

More and more is its value being realized bv Ccdarville and the surrounding Community. At present there is an enrollment of over fifty. The efficient professor of this department is .1. A. Talcott, Mus. Doe. Dr. Tal- eotl is a graduate of the Cleveland Piano School, the (ieorgia School of Technology, and the Royal College of Organists, of London, England. He has also studied voice under Charles S. Burnham, and choir direction under J. Powell Jones, of Wales. Dr. Talcott offers courses in Piano, Organ, Voice, Harmony, and History of Music. Special instruction is also given on the Saxophone by Kenneth Little, a student in the College. A course in Violin is offered by Marion Frock, of Spring- field. In order that Dr. Talcott may be able to give more time to bis advanced students, and to other work in Ccdarville, and the neighboring communities, he is assisted in the primary teaching of Piano by Miss Mae McKay, of the College, and by Mrs. Walter Corry, Director of Music in the Green County Normal. 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. Keep- ing 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 lo receive the inspiration that comes from music, and the kindred arts, and to be able to appreciate the classical gems, and the masters in music. linn j j 55 71; iy u u u ' ' 7 ' ' ' u v u ' ■ g ■ ? i ‘ 192-7 THE CEDRUS 1927 iitniuiimiu “LELAWALA” Given by the GREENE COUNTY NORMAE CAST OK CHARACTERS WO-KO-MIS (Great Heart) Chief of the Oniahgahrahs.....lames Stormont KLO-LO-WAR (The Singer) His son............ .

Mr. Horst has had a ditlicult time to reorganize athletics at Cedarville College, and in the short time that he has been here he has done very well indeed. In football we bad the largest squad in our history. Many of the men were letter men from high school and their first year’s showing in college football was an honor to their coach. In basketball the squad was almost entirely composed of last year’s letter men and in a short while after the lirst call for candidates the squad was ready for actual combat. The basketball schedule was the heaviest ever attempted and the results speak well of the training they received from Mr. Borst. Under the careful and skillful tutelage of Coach Borst the athletic fame of Cedarville College lias grown by leaps and bounds and we predict in the years to come under his direction Cedarville will once more be recognized as the leading small College in the state. —J. M. 19Z7 THE CEDRUS 192.7 bl'ii1 ;-- .., munMI HHH 1 FOOTBALL AT C C.—’ 2( Tlu bright spots and successes of this year’s team arc not to he found in the number of victories it managed to annex, but in the undying spirit that few fel- lows had for their school and in the untircing efforts of Coach Marvin Horst. These two wonderful factors made it possible for Cedarville College to complete her football schedule as well as she did. At the start of the season it looked as if the squad would be the best that ever represented this institution on the gridiron. Thirty fellows, several of them having real football ability, came out for practice regularly and Coach Horst was highly elated. The usual training grind did not bother the players, as is the general rule, and every one anxiously awaited the opening date with St. Xavier. The first game found Cedarville facing great odds. The field was slippery, the rain was still falling, and the little yellow Jackets were outweighed thirty pounds to the man. Cedarville battled hard and their fine spirit was ever present, but the weight and height of the Musketeers were not to be denied. Therefore the long end of a 54 to 0 score remained in Cincinnati after the game. FOOTBALL SQUAD The following week end was spent with the Quakers at Earlham. The Yellow Jackets managed to use their sting a couple of times but they could not cope with the lloosier aerial attack. Cedarville rallied in the last quarter with driving line plays but it was too late. Earlham had the game won 25 to 15. 19Z7 THE CEDRUS 192.7 Jtuu With hut two days rest, Cedarvillc opened football relations with Antioch again. The Yellow Jackets nearly Hew over the last white line on several occasions lnit lacked the necessary punch to score so the game ended with the teams dead- locked as far as scoring was concerned. Journeys were made to Bowling Green, Capital and Defiance the following Saturdays with Cedarville receiving the smaller numbers of the scores. The latter game was the battle of the sea. Many the lime a player in the bottom of a ••pile up” had to hold his breath to keep from strangling. Bv this time though the squad was reduced almost to the minimum; many of the players had dropped out of school and the few that always quit after the first weeks of practice had done so. Borst, with hardly enough men to compose a first team wouldn’t give up. On he labored with the few men he had left, and it was these few men with their fighting hearts that held Bio Grande 13 to 0. Then came the big surprise of the season, that is for Antioch. Nearly every- one predicted an overwhelming Antioch victory, but the Yellow Jackets were primed for the set-to. Each team registered a touchdown, but Antioch’s try for point after touchdown counted while Cedarvill’s was placed in the negative column. In the last game it was just a ease of too much Blntl'ton quarterback; he was one of the best open field runners that has ever performed on a local gridiron. Now we have reached the end of our journey. The peace pipe is passed on to future teams and we hope that their success may be termed in victories and fighting spirit combined. —D.

THE CLDKUS UrowH [J' 's v ' 1927 THE CEDRUS 1927 [imiiiiifiiiiuii HOYS’ BASKET BALL SQUAD CEDAR VILLE COLLEC.E ROYS’ BASKET BALL OF ’2( -’27 The curtain has been lowered on Cedarville College basket ball for the season of ’2f -’27. This season has left behind it many impressive victories, and those games that were not won can be classed as honorable defeats. A total of twenty- six were on the schedule this year, with the Yellow Jackets using their stinger to annex twelve victories; but the other fourteen had to be placed in the defeat column. The schedule was, however, the stillest that any Cedarville team has encountered in years. Two Ohio Conference teams were met and also many other formidable teams including Bliss, Enrlham, Urbana, Wilmington and Wilberforce. So, taking it all in all, the Yellow Jackets deserve a world of credit. At the start of the season the players and Coach Borst were both deprived of their necessary facilities, on account of the tardiness of the contractors working on the new Alford Memorial Gymnasium. The prospects were bright from the start. Several veterans were available and a likely crop of new material was on hand from which to pick. There was Captain Little whose guarding ability was of the highest: Boekhold, the “Grand Old Man” of Cedarville College basket ball, who had held down the back guard position for three years; Nagley. diminutive southpaw forward and veteran of two campaigns. Gordon ami Orr had well exhibited their skill the year previous, as had Jacobs and Evans. 19 ZT THE CEDRUS 192.7 is iHii'iimittiui The first two weeks of practice had to be held in the High School gym. and owing to the large number present for the first practices the place was rather crowded, making the workouts very difficult. Coach Horst had to make the best of what he had and condition his men as best he could under the circumstances, for the nearing initial game with Earlham College at Hichmond, Ind. Captain Little had been forced to quit practicing due to a conflict with his work and Evans had not yet reported for practice. These two factors made it equally harder to get things running smoothly. But Coach Horst with eight men journeyed to Earlham for the initial contest with the Quakers. The starting lineup for the first game consisted of Naglcy and Orr at forwards, Jacobs at center. Gordon and McLean, a newcomer from Dayton, at guards. Ccdarvillc outplayed Earlham until Orr wall banished from the game six minutes after the game started by the personal foul route; and with Orr went Ccdarvillc’s offensive attack. The Yellow Jackets managed to hold the Hoosiers the rest of the half, but Earlham came back strong in the last half to put Cedar ville’s first game of the season in the defeat column. Then came the first game in the new Alford Memorial Gymnasium. The oppo- sition happened to be furnished by our ancient rivals from Antioch. The Yellow Jackets were primed for the occasion, taking the floor with fighting hearts and blood in their eye, to secure a victory for Ccdarvillc College in the game that opened athletic activities in the new gym. The Yellow Jackets flew into the Antiochians, stinging them at will, and emerged with an undoubted victory. By this time Little had quit his job in order that he might play ball for his school and Evans had also reported for practice. The next game found Coach Horst giving some of his new men a chance to show their wares. They fought hard but could not withstand the onslaught of the Urbana lads, so the “Old Hcliables” were called into play to pull the game out of the fire in the closing minutes of the final half. The annual trip to Wilmington was drawing closer and the boys practiced 1927 THE CEDRUS WWTTTWTOW 1927 1|lll'lilllilllUI. strenously for the encounter with the “Green Tornado”, because it was a game that held a position all its own and Cedarvillc wanted to win this game above all others. But during the game whenever Cedarville managed to score a few points in rapid succession, by some strange co-incidence they always committed per- sonals. By means of the penalties attached to these personals, Wilmington was able to maintain a slight lead throughout the contest. During the Christmas vacation Cedarville displayed the best brand of basket ball that they had yet shown. In defeating Defiance the team worked with the ease of a well-oiled machine, Orr alone collecting enough points to defeat them. After the holidays the team decided to keep up the good work, so they copped a very impressive victory from the University of Dayton Flyers by a single point margin. This marked the third straight year that the Yellow Jackets have defeated the Irish in basket ball. Wilbcrforcc was then met, and for the first time defeated, by a team represent- ing Cedarville College. Urbana and Findlay were then met and defeated, making a string of five victories. Capital’s great team of this year took it as their duty to stop the winning streak of the Borstites and did a neat job of it. Bernlor’s left-hook shot just couldn't be stopped, and with some nice teamwork walloped our lads. In the Home-Coming game the boys tried to outdo themselves, before the great crowd of Alumni and ex-students that had gathered to see them perform, by swamping Kent Stale Normal 25-9. Cedarville set up a defense that the lip-state lads could not penetrate, and seemed able to score at will. The Wilbcrforcc game at home was by far the most exciting and best attended game of the year. Fans swarmed to every nook and corner of the gym and this bunch nearly shook down the walls with their continuous rooting. Wu Fang Ward and four other colored boys were too much for the Yellow Jackets that night, but the victory was undecided until the whistle ended the bitter struggle. Karl ham then came out of the west to display the fastest dribbling, shooting, and faking team that has played on a local court. Not being able to keep up with the speed of the Hoosicrs, the boys lost their second game of the week.

The northern road trip proved to be the disaster of the season as far as win- ning any games was concerned. Cedarville was doped to win at least two games, and was given an even break on the third. Some one “sure upset the dope bucket,” because Findlay. lilulTton, and Kent State pushed their noses in the «lust in three successive games. But to atone for all their losses, they defeated “Jerry” Katherman’s Capital quintet and procured the sweet revenge they have been seeking for years. Capital lost only three games this season, one of them being by Muskingum. Ohio Confer- ence Champs, by one point. The win over them was the most impressive and well earned of the season. It well serves the purpose of a fitting climax to the ’26-’27 history of Cedarville College inter-Collegiate basket ball. The wonderful team from Bliss, which downed Ohio Wesleyan, hasn’t been forgotten, and a majority of the players class them as the best team that they encountered this season. The Business College boys were too tall for the Orange and Blue, so the two games with them were placed in the honorable defeat column. After the close of the regular collegiate schedule several games were booked with the leading professional teams of this section. The Dclco-Light quintet from Dayton and the American Seeding Machine Co., team were met and disposed of in easy fashion; but the strong Dayton Troy-Fords bested our boys by a few points. All the games of the past season have not been mentioned in detail, but the writer in his limited space has tried to give a brief resume of the important and most exciting games. —L. M.

GIKLS’ BASKKTBALL SQUAD GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Cedarville College girls’ basketball team was a decided success this year. For the opening game of the season, a trip to Urbana brought an easy victory. The excellent work was kept up for four successive games. Cedarville girls trounced Urbana, Springfield Business College. Dayton Savings and Trust, and Urbana in a return game. The lead over their opponents ranged from five to eighteen points. Old man Hoo Doo stepped in about this time and the girls were forced to take a bitter dose when Ohio Northern defeated them on their home floor. The next game proved to he a walk away for Cedarville. Baskets were thrown almost at leisure and the girls finished the game with eleven points to the good over the Springfield Y. V. Next the girls journeyed to Ohio Northern for a return game. Our girls played a fine game hut lost by a mere four necessary points. The season was closed with a game in which Cedarville defeated the Delco Light girls. must The girls may well be proud of their record for the season.

In spite of modern criticism, one who knows our students will realize that after all. there arc still some young people whose ideals are high and whose vision is unclouded. A natural process leaves at Cedarville only such men and women as are willing to sacrifice some of the pleasures of life in order that they may enjoy that full happiness that comes with the knowledge of a task well done. Good times are not lacking. Athletics are well developed and studies are given a fair share of student life. Under the leadership of a faithful, and capable faculty we develop whatever there is within us. Our cares are few, our joys are many.

We consider it a privilege, as well as a task, to he members of the Chorus Staff. The publishing of an annual requires no small amount of labor. Difficulties have arisen from time to time that have almost overshadowed our hopes, hut it has been our endeavor to compile as worthy a Chorus as possible. In reviewing our work, we realize that we have made many 1927 THE CEDBUS 1927 williams mcmillan mistakes. The majority of the stnfT members have had little or no training for their duties, but they have faithfully and laboriously worked together to make this book one to be enjoyed and appreciated. The thanks of the Crdiius Stall' are especially due Mrs. McKenzie for the preparation of the unusual division pages and border. Although a busy home- maker, as well as a professional artist, she has graciously used her talent for our college, absolutely without remuneration. We feel that her work has lifted our book out of the realm of the commonplace. Mrs. McKenzie is a graduate of Chicago and Yale Art Schools. For some years she was Professor of Art in the Technical High School of Indianapolis, and later Director of Art in the public schools of Port Huron. Michigan. RITKNOUR COLLINS The work of compilation has been done under the capable supervision of Prof. II. II. Smith, who has served as Faculty Advisor for the past two years. We are very grateful to him for his eflicient assistance. We thank also other members of tbc faculty and student body for the articles contributed to the book, and for interest shown throughout the year. If through these pages you see a living, growing Cedarville College; if in after years they enable you to live again those college days of 1926-1927, we shall feel that our labors have not been in vain. —The Editor. xs ' 's is 's 's is 'FFs 7 192,7 THE CEDRUS 1927 MiBwHuurr iiiii COI.U S SHANNON DKAN SHARI'E 1)01.BY MANOR WEBSTER A.

W. C. A. Purpose. The Young Women’s Christian Association touches every need of a girl’s life. Pre-eminently it is a Christian association, according to the statement of purpose given above. By demanding belief in Christ as the one condition of membership, it endeavors to lead young women and girls to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. In accordance with its symbol, the blue triangle, the Y. W. C. A. stands for a three-sided development—that of body and mind as well as spirit. A “Y” girl realizes the sacredness of her whole self that body. mind, and soul are all creations of God. So she tries to keep them clean and pure, and develop them to their highest powers. By bringing them to their greatest usefulness in living Jesus’ law of love, a “Y girl has realized the purpose of the Y. W. C. A. 19Z7 THE CEDRUS 9Z7 miKiiiiimiii The association oilers also a wonde rful companionship. Somehow girls who have together lighted their candles from the big candle, girls who have together sung “Follow the Gleam” around an open campfire, are hound together by bonds just a little tighter than those of ordinary friendship. The V. Y. ('.. A. gives vocational guidance to help each girl find her niche in life. It offers opportuni- ties for training in Christian leadership to girls who may use it later in the church, home, community, or mission field. All in all. the Y. Y. C. A. seeks to guide a girl in her work and in her play, not as a restraint, hut as a means to her fullest development. Our small branch of the Y. Y. C. A. at Oedarvillc College has endeavored to inculcate the above principles into its activities. Perhaps our greatest activity is our regular Wednesday morning meeting, when we hear speakers who broaden our outlook, or when we informally talk over our problems. This year we have considered four big projects: “What Would Jesus Do If He Were a Twentieth Century Girl?” “Making a Living or Making a Life?” The Y. W. C. A. in Our Cities. “Twentieth Century Commandments.” Another interesting program was brought through our World Fellowship Chairman, when Wilberforee students rendered some delightful literary and musical selections. Cither jointly or separately the Y. W. and Y. M. have a social afTair every month. Probably the Halloween Parly, given this year by the girls, the Pig Houst. and the girls' Mock Wedding would he named as favorites if a vote were taken. We remember the needy every Thanksgiving with well-filled baskets. Three public programs have been given, 'file Committal Service was made more im- pressive by the pageant, “Pygmalion and Galatea. Our Christmas program. “The Savior of ihe World.” was both beautiful and impressive. The Silver Tea served to bring the Y. W. before the women of the town. The Y. W. C. A. meets a unique need of a college girl. Therefore it is our hope that a Greater Y. W. C. A. may help to promote a Greater Cedarville.

M. C. A. stands for all that goes to make college worth while, in and out of the classrooms. It aims at a well-rounded life, mentally, socially, physically, and spiritually. It is the desire of the Y. M. C. A. to make the will of Christ more effective among the men of Ccdarvillc College, in the best way possible to promote on our campus a positive moral and religious college spirit. The association depends for its existence upon the rediscovering of men each year who will push forward in marking new trails and furnishing the power for a group of other individuals. It is largely true that each Fall the association has to be re-made almost entirely. The spirit of such a student-led organization seems to have died with the retirement of the old cabinet members. Yet, the incentive, through co-operation of a few remaining cabinet members of last year, has been one of encouragement and helpfulness as the days have gone by. The Y. M. C. A. officers feel that if we have given back anything it may be a step toward bigger things in our college life. tjuji if ij i u w v wv v v ■ u ■ ■ v v ' 'J ' y ' ' u u y ■ 1927 hum...— THE CEDRUS 1927 -UUl llll't illlllllUI. Real practical worth has been the aim in planning the programs throughout the year. Musicians and speakers of note have been brought, through the co-op- eration of the V. V. C. A., making the meetings appreciated by all. The pre-Easter services conducted under the leadership of Rev. F. L. Brown may be recalled as one of instruction and inspiration well adapted to that season of the year. We hope that the splendid co-operation will continue with the V. W. ( . A. in the years to come, that the relations found may develop finer characters of true manhood and womanhood. The Y. M. C. A. seeks to develop a closer bond of co-operation among the various group associations of the college. It encourages physical education, athletics of the clean, red-blooded kind found in our school, literary societies for culture and platform ability, social events for fellowship and uplift, moral char- acter which will meet and stand the test of life. The need for an organization for directing the activities of the men outside the school hours has been stimulated during the year. Such a meeting-place under the guiding influence of the V. M. ('.. A. will he realized with the growth of the college in the years to come. The YM Club room is only in its infancy. The men who have responded to its growth so far will feel well repaid some day that they have had a part in starting such an ideal that must he realized. The Y. M. C. A. seeks always to become in some way a part of the community life. The association takes this opportunity to thank the men of the village for their co-operation in making the Womanless Wedding a success. We, as a part of Cedarville College, are indebted to this community for its growth and develop- ment. We want, then, as large a part as possible in making a Bigger and Better Cedarville. —W.

In the Fall of 1926 we refused an invitation to’ merge with the Philadelphian Society, because we were fearful or {he possible lack of interest on the part of some of our societys most active members. We have always had peppy, interesting meetings. The programs consist of the studv of literary groups, current topics of the day. the lives and achievements of historical lenders, as well as debates, essays, readings, and musical numbers selected to correspond to the central theme of the meetings. Though ever striving to attain a four-fold development in our college life, our society has not overlooked the need of social activities. Many interesting as well as highlv entertaining evenings have been spent at the homes of the various members of the society. Will we ever forget the spreads served following regular meetings, or the parties when the social committee had full sway? No. I think not. That same spirit of being up and doing, which is so characteristic of the Philosophies in their work, is not to be found lacking in their play. “He a clean sport” is part of our motto in life. lUU V !

We trust that our society will bring honor to old C. C. and that some day each member will realize the benefits he or she has received from the Society of the good old Green and White. Probably the most astounding social event of the year was that which fol- lowed our regular meeting, held this time in the basement of the library on the evening of November 8. 1926. The social committee prepared for us the most hilarious of games which we pursued with vigor and enthusiasm throughout the evening. Then the refreshments committee adjourned to the kitchen to secure a remedy for fatigued members. The sight they saw was worth beholding. What did they see? Ah, that’s the question!

Meetings were held during the first month of school, and have been held regularly every two weeks during both semesters. We feel that this regularity of meetings has been one of the most outstanding factors in the success of the society this year. Not wishing to have too large a society (for there is not always strength in numbers), we chose as new members, only those Freshmen who we thought would be of help in our society, by upholding the standards of a real Philadel- phian; and after this year’s work, we can say that we chose well. The co-opera- tion which the new members have given has been splendid; and this has been another one of the many factors contributing to our success. We, who have guided the destinies of the Philadelphians this year, felt that there were certain standards to which a society should attain, in order to be worthy of the name of a college literary. Throughout the whole year it has been our work to try to lead the society to the attainment of these standards. i 19 Z7_____________________________THE CEDRUS___________________________19 £7 W'm ,� . uimiiiuiiiii.'iiii'irf Often we hear it said Unit tin college student of today is not interested in those things which develop the cultural side of his nature and that he is more interested in athletics and other activities. However, we merely cite the meet- ings of our society to prove the fact that the college student is interested in cultural activities. Our aim throughout the year has been to cultivate the highest ideals, to raise the cultural standards of the college student, to gratify his aesthetic tastes, and to inspire in each member a love for the best in literature, which will continue to grow, long after college days are over, and he is no longer an active Philadelphian member. Naturally our meetings have been varied, in order to carry out our aim. A series of meetings were held in which we discussed the topic, “Modern Poetry.” At other meetings we have discussed such subjects as “Homes of Famous Ameri- cans,” “World Events,” The Negro in Literature,” and The Christmas Spirit in Art. Literature, and Music.” One of the most interesting nml enjoyable meet- ings of the year was one held in commemoration of the Beethoven Centenary. Interesting events concerning the lives of the masters of music were given, as well as selections from their masterpieces. We know that the success of our society cannot be measured in one year because, many times, our failures seem to overshadow our successes. Nevertheless, we do believe that we are steadily improving from year to year. However, during this year, if we, through our efforts, have raised the cultural standards of the members of our society in any small degree, if we have inspired in them a love for the best in literature, art, and music, and if in after years when thinking of their college days they will remember the Philadelphian Society with interest and appreciation of the lessons learned and the good times enjoyed, wc shall feel that we have not worked in vain.” —M.

Miss Dolby, the teacher in Rhetoric, was chosen as the teacher for this new class. The class in Journalism was not altogether a new experiment for the school, as, the year pre- vious, a class was in existence. The lirst thing of importance to he considered was the possibility of a paper for the entire student body published by Cedarville College students. As the past efforts at such a thing had always proven failures, the project thus presented by this class was met with a hit of skepticism by not a few people concerned. The enthusiasm of the little group representing the class was so great that nothing hut an attempt could queleh them. Finally the sanction of the faculty was procured and plans were completed for the issuing of a paper named Cedar S'eedles. On the night of March 30, while the students ami faculty were assembled in the Alfred Memorial Auditorium, being entertained by the Girls' Glee Club of Wittenberg, a bombshell was burst in their midst. To the surprise of everyone, a paper, for the students and by the students, was passed out to the crowd. The gritty bunch of students had made a school paper a success and had proved to the people that it could be handled by the students themselves. Due to the late start it was possible to issue only three editions. Next year a very great success is sure to be in store for the class; and our hats are oil' to the students who had the nerve and ability to carry on, in the face of great odds, and to the teacher who so faithfully stood behind them in their every efTort. —L.

We also gain much in dis- cussing the activities and stirring events that are of interest to every ardent and active college student. The members of the body elect a steward annually to serve as the leader of the group. This year we have been fortunate in securing Paul Brown, a farsighted and precocious young man. assisted by a careful wizard of finance, which has been a big factor in keeping the student body at the highest peak of our attention wave. These men alone of all the members enrolled, can enumerate the difficulties and worries attached to the careful management of a hunger-satisfying club, but they have met the situation very ellieiently in making themselves equal to the occasion.

Hd ni'liiiiihiuii 1927 THE CEDBUS 1927 MOCK WEDDING Complete in every detail, girl students at Ccdarvillc College staged a mock wedding at the home of Miss Helen Iliflfe, Thursday evening, April 29, 192C. About one hundred students and wives of faculty members attended the “cere- mony.” The llill'e home was decorated in yellow and white, golden jonquils being used in the reception and dining rooms. An improvised altar was arranged in the living room, where the “vows” were taken. Miss Betty Barnett enacted the role of “bride,” with Miss Winifred Stuckey the “bridegroom.” “Maid of honor” was Miss Martha Dean, and Miss Kathryn Hughes the “best man.” “Bridesmaids” were the Misses Helen Iliflfe, I.ois Estle, Mary Townsley, and Mrs. Martha Tuttle. , Attired in male costumes, the Misses Ann Ord, Lucille Bitenour, Clarahcllc Hunt, and Helen Cummings were ushers.” The Misses Margaret Chandler and Kathleen Kyle were “ring hearers, and the Misses Betty Creswell and Kuth Burns were dainty flower girls.” Preceding the ceremony Miss Klanore Johnson sang “O Promise Me” and Miss Ruth Burbick “At Dawning,” while Miss Helen Iliflfe sang 1 Love You Truly.” Miss Lena Hastings played the accompaniment and rendered “To a Wild Bose” softly during the “service.” The officiating “minister” was Miss June Thompson, who carried out the ceremony” with comic sincerity. Salad and ice courses were served after the “service.” The “bride and groom” received many “useful” gifts from the guests which added to the merriment of the occasion. miniiiimmiii 1927 THE CEDRUS 192.7 PIGTAIL DAY Spring is truly here ! All the girls don their gingham dresses and wear their hair down in “pigtails” (if possible), if not—big bows of ribbon are just as attractive. This is a tradition at C. C. and one that everyone enjoys. Since pig- tails are a thing of the past for most of us, tradition must necessarily be altered, and this year aprons—bungalow aprons, fudge aprons, practical or frilly and dainty aprons—are very much in evidence. KID PARTY Good evening. Miss X—. You didn’t know that we were young ladies? Oh. my, yes! You should have seen us at the Kids’ Grand Hall one night last Spring! Dressed in our best pinafores, half-socks, and slippers, and with big still bows on our curly locks, we arrived at the Community Hall and were each given a lolly- pop to keep us quiet until the other little girls should arrive. When all had assembled and the faculty mammas were cheerfully gossiping over their prodigies, we had a grand march and appropriate prizes for “the best- dressed child” were awarded to the Misses Lena Hastings, aged two and one-half; June Thompson, aged live; and Mary Beam, aged eight. The evening’s frolic consisted of the games common to childhood, such as “Drop the Handkerchief” and “Cat and Bat.” Dainty refreshments consisting of ice-cream cones and lolly-pops were served. After a rollicking song fest we de- parted before bedtime ( ?), each with a toy whistle with which to keep the campus awake for the remainder of the week. —M.

Suggestions ranged from the Clifton ClifTs to the Bermuda Islands. After due consideration Snider's Park, Springfield, was chosen and thence we journeyed that twentieth of May. It is needless to say we did have “eats” and lots of them, and the afternoon was spent in tennis, golf, and swimming as well as various amusements afforded in the park. Evening brought the close of another pleasant day for C. C. students. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET OF 1026 On May the sixth, the Junior-Senior Banquet was held in the main dining hall of the Engineers' Club of Dayton. Fifty guests were seated at the large U-shaped table, which was cleverly decorated in the Senior colors, green and white. Three large baskets of American Beauty roses adorned the table. The favors were green and white crystal candy sticks made in the form of a tripod, holding small white place cards on the top. Tiny green baskets of mints on the white medallion were placed under the tripod. A very delicious four-course dinner was served by the club consisting of: Fruit cocktail; creamed chicken on patties, French fried potatoes, green lima beans. Parker House rolls, and butter; head lettuce with Thousand Island dressing; Neapolitan ice-cream, cake and coffee. Miss Marie Koehnen of Dayton gave a program of selections on the harp dur- ing the dinner hour. The program of the evening was suggestive of Browning’s “Pippa Passes, — morning, noon, and night. The toast, Morning, representing the Youth, was given by Miss Martha Dean, followed with a solo, “At Dawning, by Miss Stuckey. The Noon,” representing the Activity, was given by Prof. II. II. Smith, followed with a solo, My Task. by Miss Burbick. Evening, representing Betrospection, was given by Miss Dobbins, folio well with a solo, The End of a Perfect Day,” by Miss Elizabeth (‘reswell. Dr. V. B. McChesney gave tile concluding toast—the “Charge to the Classes.” Mr. Carl Shanks, President of the Junior Class, acted as toastmaster. —E.

Receptions PRESIDENT’S RECEPTION I)r. and Mrs. McChcsncy’s reception for the students is a pleasure which we anticipate every Spring, and we can safely say we are never disappointed. Last year it was an unusually happy occasion. Our President and his wife have the faculty of making one and all feel quite at home. The lunch served to a large number of guests was particularly delicious. Later in the evening we sang—old songs and new songs, and everyone carried home the impression of a happy and memorable evening spent in an ideal home. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH RECEPTION A vigorous clapping of hands greeted the invitation extended by the Presby- terian Church to the faculty and students to join in a reception on Thursday eve- ning, September 23, 1926. “A chance to wear my new dress,” whispered one girl to another who was sitting beside her in the Chapel. “Um—some good eats,” came a voice from the masculine section of the room. On the evening set apart for said event a large crowd of eager, fun-loving young people gathered in the church parlors in anticipation of a good time. Did they go home disappointed? If they did, it was their own fault. For after trying to discover the name of the famous person on the piece of paper which was pinned on one’s back, and after being blindfolded and handing all sorts of slimy, prickly, wriggling objects to one’s neighbor, it was utterly impossible to remain incased in a shell of dignified coldness. And the refreshments—well, the masculine voice was right, they were what arc termed “good eats.” At the close of this enjoyable evening, everyone present felt like rising and shouting, “Thanks to the Presbyterians. Long may they live.” —M. L.

There were so many new experiences, new classes, new professors, feeds, athletics, etc. Hut the majority of those letters had this one thing in common they men- tioned or elaborated at length on this one topic, “The United Presbyterian Church entertained the students and faculty last Tuesday evening. Would you like to know what else those letters said about that particular social occasion ? No doubt the following is a fair example of many others that made their way back to the home post olliee that week, consequently we have asked permission to print this sentiment as expressed in the letter: “The United Presbyterian Hecoption was certainly a most enjoyable occasion. We’re sure everyone had a good time. How could they help it? We had novel and interesting entertainment and refreshments that made home seem near. We feel so much better acquainted with everyone and we know we’re going to like college now.” m. 1.;. COUNCIL TEA One of the very enjoyable social events of the winter was the tea, given Jan- uary 18th, at the Library Clubroom, by Deans Dolby and Howland, for the House Mothers and other friends. The club room was very artistically decorated with sweet peas and potted plants. The Misses Ada McKay and Isabel Clark, members of the Student Council, presided at the tea table. Music was furnished during the afternoon by the Misses Mac McKay, Ruth Rurbick, and Esther Henderson. Deans Dolby and Howland each made a very pleasing talk in which they ex- plained the work of the Student Council and made a plea for closer co-operation between students, Deans, and House Mothers. —A.

The program, directed by Misses UifTe and Johnson, was arranged into four distinct parts. Rev. Dutton of Springfield delivered the Cedar Day oration, which was fol- lowed by the presentation and planting of the cedar tree by .Miss Elizabeth Harnett. And right at this point we had an agreeable surprise. The drone of a motor came to our ears and an aeroplane came into sight. Prof. Talcott had secured a plane from Fairfield and had come to drop greetings to the May Queen. It was an unusual feature for Cedar Day, and we were grateful to him for it. Of course, no Cedar Day is complete without the various class stunts, which were “pulled oil” in due order from Freshmen to Seniors. To say the least, the Seniors seemed to believe profoundly that it pays to advertise! Each one ap- peared. carrying a huge cardboard with some letters of the alphabet and when complete we read, “Ice-Bound,” the name of their play to be given that same evening. We only hope that the returns more than repaid the cost. )pyFFFTr7fTTJrFJ FV 7TTf7rTrTrT T TrT'f v v v v •✓ v 19Z7 THE CEDRUS I9az mii’Mimuur, The Freshmen and Sophomores were equally as appropriate, but perhaps the Juniors deserve some honorable mention for the clever way in which Masters Creswcll. Barlow, and Turnbull played school. The third part of the program was the crowning of the May Queen. Miss Lena Hastings had the honor of being selected to represent this personage. The throne of the queen was arranged at one side of the circle and was decorated in white and green. The pages proclaimed the coming of the queen and the procession entered. It was indeed an impressive sight. The queen was dressed in a white robe and the train carried by a small page. She was attended by her ladies-in- waiting. Arriving at the throne, the procession knell and the queen was crowned by Miss Lois Cummings, queen of the preceding year. The fourth part of I he program given as an entertainment for the queen was a treat to everyone present. Dances of the various countries were given in native dress, ami considering that the greater part of the dancers were amateurs, they do without doubt deserve wor.hy mention. Some sixteen countries were repre- sented. however, these pages only permit a short review of some of the more striking ones. 'I he Spanish dance given by Miss Ann Ord and Dave Adair was a spectacular feature and from the point of grace and rhythm was delightful. Miss Ord deserves further mention in the dance of the American Indians, which she helped to portray. In consideration of some of the male dancers it would not he unappropriatc to mention Kenneth Little and Harold Myers, who acquitted themselves as Hun- garians. It is to their credit that they danced so well in full while skirts and green flowered aprons. Of course, the Scotch must not be forgotten, and it would be impossible to forget Xcdra Wilson in her short plaid skirt and perky little Scotch cap. The Highland Fling was a particularly good medium by which Miss Wilson portrayed her accomplishments as a dancer. And last but not least we give honorable mention to our football star, Mr. Paul Brown, as a Hussian dancer. The program was well given, and it is to Miss IlifTc and Miss Johnson that tin credit is due for the time and splendid training that they gave. And we only hope that Cedarville College will have many more such Cedar Days as that of ’21� . —It.

He saw her students engaged in various activities in this the first day of her thirty-second year. In the morning the formal open- ing was held in the High School Auditorium under the leadership of our President, Dr. McChesnev. 'file address was given by Mr. Myers Y. Cooper, who was well received by his audience. Numerous announce- ments, bewildering to some, were made and everyone hastened to the main college building to search out Ids classrooms, get his assignments, and start the business of getting acquainted. 'I bis was continued into the afternoon, when the older girls and their “Little Sisters” were entertained at a tea given by the Y. Y. C. A. This time the library was the scene of groups of college girls with a back- ground of fall flowers in keeping with the orange and blue, and an atmosphere of laughter and pleasure in making new friends. Hcallv, we were just beginning to get acquainted and the day was not yet complete. Oh, no! for Ccdarville is undoubtedly a co-edwcational school. So that evening “Nagiev's Hall” was chosen as the trysting place. The Y. M. C. A. promised to entertain us, and that they did— royally, too, it was agreed. No one could he reserved or bashful for long in the fun of that evening and it was great to meet so many new friends and anticipate the future associations. A feature of the evening, not to be slighted, was the “helling” and the “free-ride-for-nothing we thought it our duty to give two of the former students of C. C. After bringing down the wrath of almost every Ccdarvillian on our heads, for our noise, we disbanded for the night and even the most homesick Freshic as he turned over for the last time sleepily guessed he “could stand it after all, if this was college. kirn� i; : u w i i i; u ! o '� iy i ' '■ ■ o ' ' i; i o y i u5? 192,7 THE CEDRUS 1927 FTTT7 JM THE BACKWARD PARTY “Backward, tarn backward, ah time in thy light! Let me be back-foremost just for tonight.” •Tonight was one cool evening of once upon a time last Fall, and the lines above were the sentiments of a motley throng of V. V. girls who entered Xaglcy’s Hall by painfully ascending the steep stairway backwards and by backing into the room. “Motley throng was correct. Progress was not aided by the misfits in the girls’ clothes which, even though they were on their rightful owners, crowded at the neck and bagged in front. There was no possibility of a social misfit; if any wished to sit down she must be a wallflower, for all the seats and even the piano were modestly “stood in the corner with the useful part toward the wall. Lots of tail-light first games were played, such as a backward spelling bee, a contest in which every side must do what it was asked backwards, a shoe con- test, and others. And then came the cats which were saved from the hands of would-be maraud- ers who «Ii 1 not belong but who were not at all backward in coming in the back way. Ihit their attempts were foiled by dint of other cleverer brains than theirs. Then the girls backed down the stairs and walked home. Let’s hope thev’vc lived happily ever after. __j,- ' VALENTINE PARTY ‘Oh, tell me. dearest heart of mine. That gou will be mg Valentine.” Lach February brings a day of hearts and happiness. St. Valentine’s Day of this year will be long remembered for its jolly time in our gymnasium. The joint Y. W. and Y. M. gave a most successful party for the students and faculty. In the course of the evening everyone participated in some sort of game and enjoyed himself to the utmost. Both sentimental and comic valentines were exchanged. The boys held the honor of giving the largest and most sentimental tokens. We realize our girls are extremely bashful on such occa- sions. After several hours of fun we were served a delicious lunch. Lach one of us departed, guarding our precious valentine that we might slow it away among the already crowded pages of our memory hooks. —M. C. I ■ 0 5 T T TTTf 19Z7 THE CEDBU5 192.7 mii'iiiiiiMiii. HALLOWE’EN PARTY The annual Hallowe'en Parly, which is given one year by the Y. W. C. A. and the next by the Y. M. C. A., holds the distinction of being the Hrst event held within the walls of our newly constructed Alford Memorial Gymnasium. What a gay eve- ning it was with the witches, skeletons, pumpkins, vagabonds, animals—all strutting around in the grand march. Many different costumes representing various wear- ing apparel of peoples in far-off lands were in the parade. Florence Hartsock and Lucille St. John, dressed as Queens of Hearts, were awarded first prize. Willard Thuma and Martha Dean were also awarded prizes for their clever costumes, Mr. Thuma wearing the garments of a Spanish senor and Miss Dean dressed as the yellow ball of the cornfield—the pumpkin. Then came the most interesting part of the evening—the “eats.” There were large hamburgers beside a mountain of salad and a pickle. Plenty of cider pre- pared us for the pumpkin pie which was almost covered with whipped cream. The girls’ party this year proved to be the biggest and best of all Hallowe’en celebrations held heretofore, and it established a standard for future “Y’s” to attain in giving such entertainments. —I).

In choosing “Icebound.” the Class of ”26 used rare judgment and great intuitiveness, and it can be truly said that it left an impression which time will not erase. Icebound.” which was written by Owen Davis, has been presented on Broadway for the last two seasons and has been acclaimed by critics as one of Hie best plays in recent years. Those Seniors appearing in the cast were splendid in the portrayal of their parts, but the one that stands out in our mind is the excellent performance of Donald Funk as Hen Jordon. Mr. Funk very well portrayed the wayward son against whom the world seemed to have a grudge. The death of his mother brings him home again and he is persuaded to stay and run the farm, tinder the tutelage of Jane Crosby, played by Winifred Stuckey, he “finds himself and settles down to lead a useful life. The ('lass of '2(i has left an enviable mark for future Senior classes to reach. Due to the efforts of the class and the careful coaching of Miss Dolby, the play standard of Cedarville College has again been raised. —J.

Benlixing that they must choose something above the ordinary in order to keep up with the college’s high standard, they decided to give Lewis Beach’s dramatization, “The (loose Hangs High.” They were fortunate in secur- ing two very competent directors, Mrs. B. M. Borst and Miss Ldna Howland, dramatic instructors of the college, to whom the Juniors owe their success. The play was presented before a capacity house on Monday evening. December 20, 1920, and its success was apparent from the first. The lines were well spoken, all responded to their cues, and as one later remarked, “everything went lovely.” As usual someone must receive the bouquets and so we are handing ours to Bohert Choate. Mr. Choate, playing the part of Bernard Ingals, gave the best character acting that we have seen in local college plays. Lleanor Johnson, as his wife, gave her usual strong support. The twins, played by Buth Burns and William Nagiev, furnished the comedy: and the necessary romance was well taken care of by Bulb Collins and Kenneth Little, the former as Dagmar Carrol and the latter as Hugh Ingals. In all. as the theatrical critics would say. it had an all-star cast, and was worthy of anyone’s time to have seen it. J. M. Who rcniemhcrs the time when intercollegiate debates were in vogue at Ccdarvillc College? For a number of years our department of Public Speaking has not functioned in intercollegiate activities. Talent that might have been utilized to bring glory to Ccdarvillc has long been neglected: its value has not been recognized. However, “It's a long road that has no turning.” During the first semester of this year a proposal was received for Ccdarvillc College girls to meet Wittenberg College girls in dual or triangular debates. “She can who thinks she can.” Though the proposal came from a big sister college, enough of our girls thought they could hold their own in such contest, but a change in Wittenberg’s schedule prevented the realization of our hopes in regard to a girls’ debate. Early in the second semester a similar proposal came for a men’s contest. “Me can who thinks he can”—our men thought they could, and they did. On March 28th teams from the two colleges met on the propo- sition, “Resolved: That the Direct Primary Should Re Abolished.” A negative team, composed of Messrs. Willard Harlow, John John- son, and Harvey Auld met the Wittenberg aflirmntive team at Witten- berg. The men were cordially received and a fine audience was present to inspire the debaters on both teams. Wittenberg’s negative team came to Ccdarvillc to meet our allirmative team, composed of Messrs. James McMillan, Paul Orr, and Robert Turnbull. Alford Gymnasium was well filled by those who are interested in all our college activities. The contest was not a disappointment to anyone, for our debaters took their parts with credit to themselves and honor to their Alma Mater. The “no-decision” open forum plan was followed. Members of the audiences were given the opportunity to ask questions, hearing on the proposition, of any member of either team. Although there were no judges to render formal decisions, we feel assured that in the presen- tation of argument the Cedarville teams did not occupy second place. The debates were entered into with such earnestness by all partici- pants and aroused so much interest in this type of intercollegiate activity that plans will likely be made for similar contests next year. 1927 1927 —B.

If the results are not always as dire as that may indicate, at least they are very often embarrassing. I had gone to visit one of mv friends for the afternoon. She stepped out of the room for a moment, and it was then, while my eyes wandered over the room, that I saw the box. For my own sake, I may say that I was not more than nine or ten years of age, I think. At any rate, the box attracted my attention and my feminine curiosity was at once aroused. As I remembered it, the little cube was not more than two inches in width and three inches in height and depth. It seems, as I try to recollect it, that it was a pale blue box. But there was a cover and it was tightly fixed. Ah, there was the cause for my discomfiture. What possibilities it contained! My gaze and desires were centered, not on the box, but its contents. I looked about me. My friend could not see me. No one else was in evidence. If I raised that lid and looked into the entrancing box, who would know? Was I entertaining ideas of deception? Perhaps. But wait! I advanced brazenly, but cautiously. There was a small catch which held the cover down. I lingered this. Then I loosed it. Whiz! Up came the lid and with it a cry that could be heard all over the down- stairs. I stared dumbly at the Jack-in-the-Box which had arisen before me. After my first surprise I was terribly chagrined to hear, against all hopes, the laughter of my friend. Someone said. Oh. what a tangled web we weave When first we praeliee to deceive! Might I add— “How ( real, how much is our chagrin When boldness gels to look in! —F. M. 19Z7 THE CEDBUS 192.7 iim'iuimmji. BAD BOY Folks say I’m the haddest hoy in low� .

FACE VALUES In our course in Economics we are studying the various types of money and credit, and the analysis of these has started me to thinking of the mortal money and credit circulating in this busy world of ours. It used to seem like drudgery to have to walk down town to attend to some errand, hut now without the slightest pretext I can stroll down the street and thoroughly enjoy myself on the way. A little child, with rosy cheeks and a beaming smile, that warms the heart like a ray of sunshine, nods a cheerful good-morning as she passes. Gold! Or silver, perhaps! Minted, to he sure, in the mold of the Heavenly Father and still pure! A chic young teacher with a smiling, jaunty air clicks along on her high French heels. The real self is covered with a veneer of worldly training and carefully polished with the dainty little mannerisms. As I catch a glimpse of her fresh young face, however, I am assured that this is a gold or silver certificate that has full value in the hank of life. On the next street corner a woman of perhays forty-odd years is waiting impatiently for the bus. She is swinging her arms and grumbling rather volubly to herself. Whatever natural beauty she may have possessed is hidden beneath the cosmetics of worldly beauty daubed promiscuously upon the face already wrinkling with age. I guess, at once, that this must he a duplicate of the rare “greenback” of 1800, which was issued without metal hacking and which was for so many years irredeemable in coins. Yes, as I look closer I am convinced that this currency has been irredeemable for quite a long time, but I am also convinced that, with the proper investment of friendly at- tention and kindliness, it might be made convertible.

She is old and bent and her face, deeply furrowed by the plows of Time and (hire, still radiates motherly kindness. Now and then, in the course of her laborious task, she stops and leans upon her rake, while a truant tear or two falls upon her gnarled and withered hands. Some wayward son has so heavily drawn upon the heart of that loving mother that now the face value of that ebbing life is only a mortgaged soul. As I have shown in these few illustrations, so every face registers the value of the life of its owner and the world judges each life by the stamp of its value. —M. 1). COLLEGE LIFE Talk about the good old times When we were very small; Just in the lower grades And knew nothing much at all. Talk about our high school days When we were very gay. And had no cares whatever, lhit were happy all the day. Hut better than all of these. With all their fun and strife; Hest of all the times we’ve had Is the good old college life. —L. T.

Workmen arc hurrying back and forth. Some are dumping letters, words, phrases, sentences, thoughts, and what-nots into great vats to he made into useful products. Others are working at the machines, while still others are receiving the articles as they are poured forth in their finished forms. Such a noise and whirr of wheels and cogs and springs! The shouts of the workers arc added to the increasing roar of the machines. Suddenly something goes wrong. The buzzing machines are stopped. Almost a ton of raw material has been wasted. Mechanics rush forward. Their shouts are mingled with clanging tools. The necessary repairs will take time. Probably the mill will have to shut down while the repairing is done. Then the machines are started. No response! The mechanics begin work anew. One of them moves a little spring. All! that was the trouble. The machines whirr once more and the work is resumed and carried on just as noisily as before. This great mill is the mind; the process is education; the finished product is knowledge. —E. W. THE CEDRUS 19 7 [llll'llllllltiuii MY UNCLE’S DERBY My uncle had a derby hat. He used to wear it much hv day. And when the night would shadows cast Upon this vast expanse of land, He’d take his hat from off the rack And place it on his curly head. And then set out across the fields To spots unknown to me or you. I loved to see that derby hat All covered o’er with specks of mud. One day I asked my Uncle Bill Why muddy spots were on his hat So many times when he came home? But uncle would just laugh at me. And say, “Some day I’ll tell you all, When you arc old enough to know, And realize just what life is.” That derby hat is still at home, A relic of the passing days. It’s in the attic now I guess; It’s covered o’er with spider webs. And dust and dirt, and other things; And still the specks of mud are there. Those interesting specks of mud. Just how those spots of mud got there I cannot hear to tell just now. For'tis a secret ages old In mv quaint family tree, they say. —D. i Imin ' ') w w ' ') i v ' v ■ � ■ ■ '} ' ' ' 'J v w w wt’7? 192,7 THE CEDRUS 1927 lllliiitlfMlun LIFE AT THE CLIITS The dill's just west of town remind me of an oasis on a desert. Most of the land about Cedarville lies flat and fertile, but upon entering the dills one finds that the creek has cut a channel to a depth of from fifteen to twenty-five feet through solid limestone, which is covered by only a few feet of soil. The south hank of the stream looks as it an earthquake, centuries ago, had upheaved the surface of the land and had left great crevices and passage ways between the broken layers of stone. One would think that such a place would he desolate of all life, but as my friends and I clambered over the rough stones and through the narrow passage ways, I found that the ground was covered with blooming hepaticas which had sprung up at the first calling ot the warm rays of the sun, and whispered to the other flowers to wake up and put on their bright Spring garments. Already the green leaves ot the blood roots, spring beauties, and anemones had appeared and their blossom buds were forming. How human is this wild plant life! A few individuals venture forth, make encouraging discoveries, and then shout the glad tidings to their friends. Then comes the rush of the masses seeking life more abund- antly. Ere long, I imagined the ground would be covered with thou- sands of plants trying to make the most of life. Even the steep walls of stone, my friends informed me, would be covered with ferns and moss in the summer time. Imi� j'j w w ■ i; v jrg ■ i ' � ■ u u v ■ i y i i ■ 192,7 THE CEDRUS 1927 111'llllUMUI. As I scanned the bleak gray walls, I discovered a beautiful hepatica, nodding its head in the sunlight, high up on a liny ledge of stone. Perhaps a sharp gust of wind had borne a liny seed to that barren spot, where it had clung firmly, and had taken root in the little soil that was there. It had labored and grown until it now stood sturdy and beautiful, an example to the thousands of plants beneath it. Quite often a member of the human family, by faithfully and earnestly using the resources that he has, rises to a plane high above that of his comrades, and becomes a leader of men. From this little hepatica 1 learned anew that those things which seem to hinder and over-burden one, are often the means by which he becomes more sturdy and more useful to those about him. —C. F. FRIENDS Acquaintances are like the clouds so white. Blown by strong, gay winds to and fro— Swiftly passing forever from our sight. We say, “Good day, good-bye,” and then they go. Chums arc like the green leaves of Spring, Coming at intervals, staying a day. Leaving without warning when they cease to cling. From the hungry tree they flit away. Friends are like white marble pure. Heady for service and trials anew, ('lit and polished, stable and secure Tell me, what kind of a friend are you? —M. A.
