JUNIOR CLASS In September. 1935. sixty-five Freshmen (the largest class in the history of the college] entered the side door of Cedarville College — by request of the upper-classmen — to start on the long trail toward a diploma. A;ter almost a week of initiation, we organized and set- tled down to business. We tried to have some feeds but the upper classmen were so interested in them that they nearly always arrived before the freshmen did. We were represented on the basketball sauad by five men — Roy Linton and Blutcher Gibson playing on the first team. Our c ass team won the intra-mural tournament. This helped to make up for our getting dipped in Willow Bend during Freshman Week. Two of our girls. Jacobs and Seamon, were cheerleaders; we also had representa- tives in debate and basketball. Our Sophomore year was a busy one for about fifty of our members, for they were going through the ordeal of practice teach- ing. In the spare time we had we still entered all kinds of extra- curricular activities. At the end of basketball season we took time out to win the class tournament again, with cheerleaders Sisson and Tomlinson to help us yell. Justin Hartman and Roy Linton left us to become Juniors, and at commencement time all the girls except two and several boys left us. Almost all of these people were successful in obtaining teaching positions and we hear that all of them arc doing very good work. As a result of that loss we started our Junior year with only sixteen members. John Fox was elected president of the class; Cecil Thomas, vice-president; Jane Frame, secretary: Bennett McNeal, treasurer. Bennett has had a hard year this year in the candy busi- ness. and we appreciate his efforts. Again we are represented in athletics and other extra-curricular activities, and for the third year we have provided a cheerleader (Jane Frame) bringing our total to five. Since we did not give a class play this year, the big event of our year was the Junior-Senior Banquet held at the Dayton Y. M. C. A. And now we are looking forward to the last lap of our journey, and we arc hoping that next year will bring us safely to our destina- tion. Vi Cf l aj e Ticenly-Six

John Peterson Genevieve Jesson Catherine Harbaugh Monroe Pyles SOPHOMORE CLASS In the fail of 1936, v e began our short but extremely eventful college careers. Our first move v as to select Eldon Gillespie as our president and in this capacity he effectively guided our activities throughout the term. We patiently endured the humiliating experiences of Freshman Week. The most easily recalled catastrophe of this ordeal was suf- fered at Willow Bend, when our boys only after a titanic struggle. were pulled headlong into its icy waters. After this annual affair we seemed to get along much better with the upper classmen and by the end of the term had firmly established ourselves as worthy representatives of this fine old school. This year the majority of our 1936-37 group has returned. This time we chose suave John Peterson as our chairman and he has ably conducted our progress throughout the majority of another college year. We are particularly proud of our representatives in athletics. In basketball we were fortunate in placing a man on the varsity quintet. Several other Sophomores participated in this sport. With spring baseball swinging into its first practice sessions, the Sophomores find themselves well represented by many eager appli- cants for varsity berths. Several of these men stand excellent chances for regular positions. V e have also received favorable recognition in the fields of scholarly endeavor and included within our group arc several who rank high in music, dramatics and other worthwhile activities. We have been happy in pursuing our studies in the delightful atmosphere provided by the college and surrounding community, and by the sincere and altogether wholesome environment created by our beloved faculty. Therefore, it is our desire that during our short stay at Cedarville our presence here will add to. rather than detract from this atmosphere, and that we as a c!ass may profit accordingly.
