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.

Richard McKnight Louise Jacobs Elisabeth Anderson Justin Northup FRESHMAN CLASS September 8th, 1937, forty-three Freshmen were registered at Cedarville College. As if these Freshmen were not sufficiently afflicted with homesickness and embarossment. the Sophomores with the aid of the Juniors and Seniors, heaped torment upon affliction. There were white-faced girls seen on the campus in pigtails and boots, car- rying pillow slips. There were boys with extra rosy cheeks and red lips, with hairbows and jewelry, carrying waste paper baskets. There were also a lot of upper classmen with the tummy” ache because they had eaten too many suckers. There were rumors of long rides and walks in the darkness along strange roads. And finally there was a general ducking at Willow Bend; but the Freshmen persevered They knew what they were after and they knew they could get it at Cedarville College as soon as the upper classmen forgot their jealousy. One day during the first few weeks of school, they met in Dr. McChesncy’s room to organize. James Anderson, president of the student body undertook the task of presiding over that quiet group. Getting nominations was like pulling teeth for nobody seemed to know anybody. A:ter much patience was displayed by Mr. Ander- son. and a little loosening up on the part of the freshmen, the following officers were elected: Richard McKnight. president: Louise Jacobs, vice-president: Elizabeth Anderson, secretary: Justin Northrup, treasurer; Mary Jean Townsley. news reporter; and Doris Ramsey, student council representative.
