THE LEARNING TO CEDARVILLE'S TYPICAL MAN DEDICATED To the fellows of Cedarville College we dedicate this book. Cecil Thomas has been chosen by the student body as the man who best represents the abil- ities and characteristics of a real Cedarville man. He is a scholar, graduating with magna cum laude; an athlete, receiving letters in basketball and baseball throughout his four years of college life; and last and most important a leader and friend of everyone. Cecil has been the spark of life in many college parties and his jovial “greetings” is music to the ears of all who know him. Pape Pour To the girls of Cedarville College we dedicate this hook. Elisabeth “End” Anderson has been right- fully named the girl of Cedarville College who strives and most nearly attains the best and finest in woman- hood; she is truly Cedarville s typical girl. “Paddy”, though only a sophomore, has established a reputation as a scholar and an athlete. She is a most popular friend of a very critical set, the college men. “Paddy” is very active in local church activities and takes a real interest in everything that is good. As a real Cedar- ville girl she is most appropriately described as “class deluxeA The Editor.

At the Alumni and Homecoming Banquets it is always busy preparing and serving the meals. The profits from these banquets are used for the good of the college. It has helped in redecorating the college administration building, has equipped the stage in the gymnasium, and has added to its supplies in kitchen utensils. It also purchased equipment for the college board- ing club. The members are chosen from the alumni and wives of the faculty. Mrs. W. R. McChesney is president of the organization. —BETTY ROWE.

Wittenberg College The studonts of Cedarville College are indeed fortunate in having a faculty who are not only well trained in each of their respective fields but are also vitally interested in the success and per- sonal welfare of every student they contact. No student could ask for better cooperation in any institution than is received from these faithful servants. They are performing a real service and the influence they have on every Cedarville student has been and will continue to be felt in many parts of the country and in almost all walks of life.

Ohio State Univer- sity Inter-class relationship here at Cedarville College has been of great value to students and faculty. There have been programs planned by representatives of the four classes which have been enjoyed by many students. It is fine to have such a spirit of cooperation between or- ganized classes of our student body. The social times arranged by these groups have created a greater fel- lowship and have inspired definite leadership on the part of various class members. JOHN FOX, Pt 'es.

Some of us may say the last sixteen years have made us tired of school. Inside us our true voice keeps saying. It isn't so.” We want to stay. We want to keep our friends, our books, our life. We’ve worked with friends—the students and professors. We've lived with friends —this whole friendly community. We don’t want these friendships to fade to chance or annual meetings. We want to stay. Don’t the years slip by swiftly? Only yesterday we were sixty-five strong. We pulled the typical freshman boners, perhaps a little more than we do now. but we have memories too. fine memories. We danced around the ball diamond, aided by the touch of upperclassmen's belts, splashed across Willow bend, and tooth-brushed the front steps. Our class was prominent in sports and other extra-curricular activities. In the fall of '36 we weren't so green, not so scared as we had been the year before. During our sophomore year we worked harder.—played harder, for we realized our ranks were to be divided. Seventeen Juniors registered for the next fall term. When we weren’t worrying about our candy money we found time to make up two-thirds of the baseball nine, and two-fifths of the basketball five. The class was also active in social clubs, singing clubs, and the eating club. This year, John Fox is President of the Student Body and Y.M.C.A. Benny McNeal is Editor of the Cedrus and Steward of the Boarding Club. Clyde Walker, a scrapper who has stayed with us in spite of serious injuries, is our class president. Jane Frame. Bea McCle Ian and Ray Sisson are three- fourths of the Mixed Quartette. The girls have been active in sorority work. Cecil Thomas, member of both ball clubs and Steward of the Boarding Club for half the year, left us to teach at Arcanum. Ken McNeal is our ball star. He set a new record by scoring 27 points against Wilberforce. Angus Murray is our World Affairs man. Noah Sharpe is our Mr. Fixit.

Thompson is our pitcher: Jim Jackson, our catcher—Vic Shaw has been very serious all year, practice teaching and otherwise. Fred Lott was Coach Miller's right hand man and is a most efficient book balancer at tho club. Orval Labig decided the Junior class wasn't the class for him. so he's been working under our flag all year. Arema Hayes has been busy teaching and taking care of that yellow-headed, nice-guy sophomore. Kenny Dcoter coached a ball club, and drove a bus the first semester. He is now working in Dayton. Wo know that our history is not unlike that of other classes which have eft Cedarville College, but we do feel we have noted a change in the college in the four years. The gain in the efficiency of the school is easily perceptible. Our busi- ness manager, our professors, and. of course, the students deserve hearty ap- plause. The chapel hall is now a sacred chapel hall, the business offices are on the first floor of the Main building, so visitors need not wander around looking for the officials of the college, the library shows better organization. Numerous other improvements are present. We, the class of 1939, hate to leave, but we hope we will have the great consolation of seeing Cedarville College going on and on. getting bigger and better.

Irone Goodin, Early in September in the fell of 1936, 42 freshies” began their eventful college careers. That year our activities were guided by our capable presi- dent, Eldon Gillespie. Other officers of our class were Russel Roberts, vice- president; Geneva Clemans. secretary; John Peterson, treasurer: and Gene- vieve Jesson. reporter. After several of what we called trying-days we were glad to see Freshman Week come to an end. The girls will long re- member how they had to scrub mud off the front steps of the main building with tooth brushes, as will the boys remember the ducking they got out at Willow Bend when the upper classmen pulled them in. Most of these freshmen returned in the fall of 1937 to begin another thrilling year at college. This year we were under the leadership of President John Petersen, assisted by Genevieve Jesson, Catherine Harbaugh. and Monroe Pyles. This year we were well represented in the various fields of athletics. Several of our members also took part in music, dramatics, and other activities of the college. These days found many of our class worry- ing over that thing of practice teaching. At commencement timo we found many of our class going out to teach others. Reports come back to us that all of these are doing very good work in this field. As we came back for our third year at Cedarville, wo found there was a much smaller group than we had had in previous years. We began this year with only twelve members. Russel Roberts was elected president of the class with John Peterson as vice-president; Grace Bickett, secretary; Irene Goodwin, treasurer; and Donna Zeller, reporter. This year, as Juniors, we have charge of the candy business. As our class was so small and the Senior class was small also, these classes decided to hold their class parties and socials together instead of each class holding them separately. Again we are represented in athletics and other extra-curricular activi- ties. From this small group we furnished two winners in the Women’s Bible Reading contest and one in the men's contest. Since we did not have a class play this year, the big occasion of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet held at Dayton. ‘ And now we are anxiously looking forward to our senior year and look- ing back over the happy years we have already spent at Cedarville.

I What the Junior Class Has Contributed to College Life In the realm of sports we have been active: several of cur men went out for basketball and baseball. Russel (Lanky) Roberts, basketball center, has certainly done his share in making C. C.'s name in sports. John Peterson headed the Delta Kappa Sigma this year. Both Rob- f erts and Gillespie of our number are members. We have made our presence felt in the Dramatics Club, musical organi- zations. and Y. W. C. A. Two of our members have been interested in ihc work of the Gospei Team. Of our boys who participated in the Annua Men's Bible Reading Con- test. Royden Johnson was awarded fifth place. He is the class representa- tive in the Student Council. Two of our girls are active mombors of sororities.—Pauline Ferguson in Chi Sigma Phi. and Grace Bickett in Alpha Theta Tau. There are those who woncer what would happen to the chemistry lab. without Elwood Shaw. Next year we hope to help make Cedarville College better through the efforts of our few but influential members. IRENE GOODIN. Junior. i —■ . Page Ttvenly-Three CLASS OFFICERS Noil Hartman.

At our first class meeting, we organized and elected Richard McKnight as our class president. Wo were duly initiated into our new college life by the sophomores and the rest of the upper classmen. However, we nobly survived the humilia- tion of make-up on the boys and make-up off the girls along with nice long walks in the darkness of the moon and a nice cool, refreshing dip in Willow Bend. After this traditional week, we settled down to a normal college life and were quickly absorbed into the college activities. Two of our members received letters In basketball and one earned a let- ter in baseball. Our class also contributed to the musical organizations of the college. Four members were in the organ class and a girls quartette was formed from girls of our class. Although three members of last year's class quit during the summer and one succumbed to the holy bonds of matrimony last semester, we gained five new students this year from other colleges and are still going strong. At our first class meeting this year, we elected Clayton Wiseman as our class president: Neil Hartman as vice president: Marie Collins as treasurer: Charlotte Turner as class reporter, and Justin Northup as student council representative. Four members of our class were on the varsity basketbal team this year and of course, the sophomores won the ciass tournament. Five boys or our class are out for baseball this spring. Many members sing in the college choir and one is in the college quartette. Several hove participated in dramatics. This year we have conducted many successful class parties in- cluding two skating parties at Dayton, a coasting party, and an all college sweater swing. Seventeen sophomores in the normal department have been engaged in practice teaching during a part of the year, and they arc anxiously looking forward to the next few years when they will be school teachers and after that—well, they are hoping for the best.

On Sept. 22. they met to choose their class officers. The following people were elected: Robert Peterson, president: Orsadee Stewart, vice president: Norman Linton, secretary and Treasurer: Jay Peterson, news reporter: and Janette Neal, student council representative. The upper classmen had no pity for these Freshmen; they heaped tor- ment upon troubc. There were many pecui'ar sights around the campus. Girls with braided hair, unmated shoes and hose, excessive amounts of jewelry, books in buckets, and sacks of candy wore a common sight. At that time it was rumored that some of the girls gave Dr. Jurkat candy in order to raise their grades. The tug of war at Willow Bend was rather one- sided. The sophomores used a safety measure, tying the rope to a stump, but the Freshmen (almost) pulled Sophomores, stump and all into the water. At the beginning of the second semc$;cr Robert and Joy Peterson were unable to return. It was necessary that new officers be put in their places. Norman Linton was elected president; Fred Little, secretory and treasurer, and John Reinhord. news reporter. Other officers remained the same. Al- though we have had a few bad moments the year has been an eventful and happy one. We are looking forward to our Sophomore year with great anticipation. ANNE RITENOUR. Freshman.

Page Twenty-Seven Our organizations, some of them founded many years ago, are one of the most important parts of the life of a student because they have so successfully carried out their aims and purposes. The social activities sponsored by these groups promote fellowship among the students and offer many opportunities for stu- dents to demonstrate, their qualities of leadership. lEe hope, that through the activities of our organizations we may gain experience which will make us efficient leaders and workers in the future.

Work on the Cedrus has been progressing for several months. The supreme desire of the staff in making this book for you was to have it full of pleasant memories ot our Alma Mater. Much credit for this production goes to our editor for his faithful serv- ice and to our faculty adviser for his guidance. Each member of the staff has willingly contributed his talent and time. The various organizations have aided greatly by the many activities which they have sponsored dur- ing the year. To these we are grateful, and to any others who have in any way contributed to the success of our book. It is hoped that when you turn these pages in the years to come a smile, perhaps a tear, may appear. Memories of days spent at old C. C. will flash across your mind, bringing great joy. If these pages bring you pleasure in the future, our Cedrus has been a grand success. Beatrice McClellan. Typist. FIRST ROW — Russel Roberts, Fred Lott, Mary Jean Towns toy. Cecil Thomas. Jano Frame.

A most faithful assistant to the editor has been Elisabeth Anderson who early in the year was adopted by the staff because of her ability and willingness to help make each edition a successful one (it may be also that personal reasons entered into her adoption). Another faithful member of the staff has been Mary Batdorf who was elected typist along with Thomas McQuillen. Clyde Walker, artist, has drawn many very clever pictures for the front page which greets the read- ers each week. Other members of the staff were John Reinhard. Charlotte Turner, Donna Zeller, and Bennett McNeal. freshman, sophomore, junior and senior reporters. The editorials dealing with a variety of topics have been very interest- ing and helpful. The scandal page has been most exciting and every week creates much comment among the students. The Whispering Cedars af- fords a means for both the students and faculty members to express their various opinions on any topic they wish and has as its aim the more closely binding together of all those in any way connected with Cedarville College.

(We suspect that some of them had to work fast in order to keep ahead of their pupils.) There were eleven teachers in the elementary division the first semester. All of these did their work in the Cedarville schools, as did the four high school teachers of the same period. In the second semester, there were four elementary and four high school teachers who did their practicing at Ross Township School. These student teachers were able to finish the required work in less time than the group which taught in Cedarville by conducting two classes each afternoon. There were nine elementary and four high school student teachers in the Cedar- ville schools the second semester. In spite of the many mistakes which were made, and the often dis- couraging attitudes of the pupils, the teachers feel that they have gained from their experiences much valuable knowledge which will be useful when they have classes of their own.

A. of Cedarville College has held the interest of a fine group of men students who are interested in building clean lives for greater service in their various fields of associations. We have enjoyed inspiring messages from our local pastors and from men who have come from neigh- boring communities. Our purpose has been to develop leadership within our group so that this training may lead to greater service. The fellowship we have enjoyed has come from our inspirational programs and our social activities. We have had splendid cooperation from the Y. W. C. A., and our joint meetings have brought great benefit to both organizations. These serv- ices have been of such character as to directly inspire our decision to accept Christ as the great master of our lives. Our Y. M. C. A. is that necessary part of our college curriculum that binds Christian living to our scholastic achievements. Our ideal has been, not to inspire boys to make a living alone, but to make a life.

Tho firs? wook of school the fresh- man girls were welcomed into tho organization by a tea at the home of Dr. and Mrs. McChosnoy. Following tho usual custom, the girls drew names for Se- cret Pals and exchanged gifts. To climax this event, a Se- cret Pal oarty was held at tho home of Jane Framo just before Christmas vacation. Tho Y. W. attended the first basketball qame of the season in a body after having onjoyed a chili supper and tho mock wedding at the home of Mary Jean Towns!oy. The organization tried something new this year in the form of a St. Patrick's Tea held in tho gym on St. Patrick's Day. A number from our group attended tho Southern Ohio Area Conference that was held in Columbus in April. Much was gained from, fellowship with students of othor colleges. As a climax of our activities of tho ycor the girls and their mothers and friends onjoyed a social time togothor at tho annual Mothor and Daughter Banquot. which was he'd on tho Friday ovening boforo Mothor's Day.

Thirty-I’tvc BOARDING CUB The College Boarding Club, which was organized in 1938 on a co-operative basis, has continued through another prosperous year. Meals were served at noon and evening in the basement of the library. There the meals were prepared by Mrs. Morton, assisted by Mrs. Peter- son. and served by co operating students accord- ing to schedules arranged by the steward. As well as regular meals the club has served special holiday dinners and has furnished many evenings of fun and enjoyment for the students and friends of the college. The Club was successfully managed through the first semester by Cecil Thomas, steward: Bennett McNeal. assistant steward: Ruth Boohcr. secretary, and Louise Cosier, menu chairman. Due to the fact that Cecil secured a teaching position at the first of the second semester, he had to give up his stewardship. However, he was succeeded by Ben- nett McNeal and the club elected Fred Lott as the new assistant steward. Fred and Bennett have proved to be most capable and efficient. Together they have led the club with equally great success through the second semester. RUTH BOOHER. Secretary. OFFICERS Cecil Thomas. Ruth 8oohor. Louise Cosier. Bennett McNeal.

Sinco this Is a fairly now organization in tho collogo. it is still in the developing period. This year thoro were many improvements made in the Y. W. room whore the Club's mootings hove been held. Through the cooperation of tho college and Noah Sharpe, tho socioty wos oble to pur- chase a stage, a row of footlights, and two flood-lights along with a rheostat. With this equipment as a start the society will be bottor able to improve in tho future. Tho first somostor tho club had a mooting ovory two wcoks. At ovory other meeting either one or two one-act plays woro prosontod. Tho program of the meetings when tho plays woro not being given consisted of oithor a spooch or tho reading of a play. Tho idea of having a talk on drama or reading somo oxamples of good drama was originated this year. During tho yeor. talks on different aspects of tho drama were given by Rov. Bowers ond Justin Hartmon. Miss Basoro gave a series of roadings. The plays thot woro road by members of the society included: scones from Drinkwoter's Abraham Lincoln; The Bishop's Candlesticks by Hugo: end Wurxel-Flummery by A. A. Milne. The olays presented by tho society included: The Pink Geranium; scones from Romoo and Juliet; A Sign Unto You; Dust of the Road: Rosas and Haircuts; Ovortones; The Whirligig of Life; How the Story Grew; and The Valiant.

Rache Harriman. have faithfully rehearsed every Monday evening and sometimes, just before the performance, on Wednesday evening. Their first appearance was on convocation night at the Presbyterian Church at the Men's Bible Reading Contest, and in March at the Women’s Bible Reading Contest. The music for the Day of Prayer was provided by the choir. The choir gave several numbers at the musical program at Wilberforce on International Day and at the meeting of the Wilmington District of the Methodist Church in Jamestown in May. On Easter Sunday they sang in the First Presbyterian Church. On Illumination Night they gave a song festival. They topped the year off by singing at the Baccalaureate Services. The choir was under the direction of Mrs. Mildred Creswcll the first semester, and Mrs. Mary C. Markle the second. Everyone, including the members and the audiences, greatly enjoyed the choir. BEATRICE COLLIER. Secretary. Pape Thirty-Eight Picture yourself es one-fourth of a quortet. Come around there just a little so your partners and you form a semi-circle. Sound that first word clearly, then let your voice swell in harmony with the lead, hear the other voices blend with yours. Now—sh—make those tones sweet and light.— listen to that rumbling bass giving a background to it all. Hear it? Just like the double-bass of a mammoth organ. Low—Throbbing. Take the melody—swing along daintily. Break! Now all is quiet. Start that note exactly with the others. We're coming to the climax. Sing out. let the music roll from way down inside. Now softly run the last few words, linger on the last note—then hum. Let the chord linger—linger—then die. That was a grand feeling, wasn't it? Whether you were in a barber shop, or on a concert stage you realized you weren't the whole show, but too. you realized the show couldn't have gone on without you. You were there carrying your part of the load, using what you had worked so diligently to learn. You were contributing. c You see how our groups have felt this semester. We have been under the pleasing and instructive leadership of Mrs. Markle. and harmony has been our reward. Harmony of personalities as wcl as harmony of notes. Our mixed quartet consists of Beatrice McClellan, soprano: Jane Frame, alto: Ray Sisson, tenor; and Sam Stein, bass. The men's quartet is composed of Ted James, first tenor: Ray Sisson, second tenor: Fred Lott, baritone- Sam Stein, bass. RAY SISSON. Tenor of Both Quartets.

Pant Thirl y-Nint The Gospel Team was headed this year by Donald Foulks. serving his second term as president. Although this has been a year of relative in- activity wc have enjoyed o number of very inspiring and helpful meetings. This organization provides excellent experience for those who are interested in Christian leadership. After a service at the Lytlo M. E. Church, we were entertained at the home of the president. Did wc ever have a good time! • Two social meetings were held, one at the home of Prof. C. W. Steele, our faculty adviser, and the other at the home of Mrs. McKibben. when Virgie Gossard and Irene Goodin were hostesses. Perhaps the best service of the year was at the Catawba M. E. Church, during a series of evangelistic meetings. The following members participated: chairman, Irene Goodin; devotions. Doris Ramsey: reading. Virgie Gossard; speakers.

Due to a slight disturbance the order of election was altered at this point and Kenny McNeal was chosen Sergeant-ot-arms. Brother Bottle Benny McNeal was elected to the grave oosition of Chaplain and Noah Sharpe as Secretary-Treasurer.

Highlights of hell week were Bill Lott's releasing 14 kittens in the library and Puddy Ander- son's scramble to rescue her favorite cat: Tuny Kavanagh looms to count by having to supply fifty dead flies. Some of the boys were a wee bit sleepy: they showed up for classes still clad in their pajamas. A midnight hamburger fry brought initiation to a close, giving us an opportunity to see Mr. Gibson perform with a hamburger in each hand and a goodly cargo below deck. Later in the year a box social and dance was sponsored by the frat for all college students. NOAH SHARPE.

Meetings were held every two weeks, with one social meeting each month. The pledge service for the first semester was held on October 4. at the home cf the president. After their struggles with raw oysters, strange stairways, rocking-horses, tunnels, and the cracking of paddles, the six pledges became full-fledged members in December. The formal initiation was held preceding a Christmas dinner given for the new members and several rushecs. After the dinner, gifts were exchanged, then the group attended the Christmas plays of the Dramatic Club. Everything went backwards at our Valentine party. Wo had to go info the house backwards, and eat and play games backwards. Al the girls wore their clothes backwards, and some of them even went so far as to sit backwards on their chairs. When our basketball team became champs, we felt that we must do something for the boys, so on March 9 we entertained them with a dinner party, which everyone seemed to enjoy very much. In April, the second-semester pledges furnished the entertainment for the party. Each girl was asked to make a hat for a certain character, then to mode! the hat after it was finished. The surprise of the evening came when Opal Seamon read the announcement of the coming marriage of Jane Frame. Formal initiation was held May 8 for five pledges. Plans are under way at this writing for a luncheon to be held on Cedar Day for alumni members. JANE FRAME. Pres, of Alpha Theta Tau. 1’ain Forty-Two Under the supervision of Miss Basore and the leadership of the Presi- dent. Pauline Ferguson, the sorority has flourished this year. Nine active members took charge of the Sorority ship as wo embarked on another year in the fall of 1939. Ten pledges have been duly initiated and have become active members of our crew this year. We have held our regular meetings bi monthly at Mrs. Ault's. Our meetings have been educational and instructive, as well as social. We have discovered much good talent in our ranks. Wo have enjoyed many activities. In October, we enjoyed a steak fry at Bryan Farm. In November. Beatrice McClellan entertained the sorority with a delightful dinner party. In December we sponsored a dinner dance at Sears Hotel. Ceoarville. for alumni members and guests. January was rush party time. In February we held Open House for alumni members at Homecoming: also Rachel Harriman was hostess for our covered dish supper. March was the scene of our scavenger hunt. April was the setting for our dinner and theater party. Wo ended our school year by sponsoring a Spring Formal for the entire college and a party for the alumni during Commencement Week. We close our year filled with happy memories and hope in years to come that our sorority will mean more to its members through lasting friend- ships we have gained. JEAN ELLIOTT. Secretary.

FRED LOTT, Sports Editor. 11 1 f 1 1. V I J J. f Cage Forty-Four s lASHTHU HAM fiATHElS LAURELS Putting on a driving finish. Ccdarvillc College basketball team won the last five games to take the Northwest Ohio Conference title and end the season with thirteen victories out of an eighteen game schedule. The boys amassed a grand total of 722 points during the season to earn the nickname of a 'point a minute team. Their opponents collected 63 I points for an average of 35 points a game. There are several reasons for this exceedingly satisfactory record. In the first place, the boys on the team demonstrated a fine spirit throughout the whole season, both toward the members of the opposing team and toward their own team mates. Furthermore, the hard work and undying patience of Coach Miller was a factor without which the team could never have accomplished what they did this year. Kavanagh was the team's leading scorer with 213 points. Kenneth Mc- Neal. the only senior on the squad at the end of the season, played the outstanding game of his career against Wilberforce. scoring 27 points, when the Yeilow Jackets avenged an earlier defeat by Wilberforce and ran up a score of 69-38. On Homecoming day. Cedarville checked a desperate Bluff- ton rally and emerged victor by a 39-38 score. In the final game of the season, the Yellow Jackets took the conference title by trouncing Wilmington, traditional rivals. 41-30. Cedarville played two Ohio Conference teams, winning at Otterbein and losing at Ashland. FRED LOTT. -v 4 FIRST ROW—LaVorn Whlpp. Norman Linton. Coach n th McNeal. Russoll Roborti. Eugono Kavanagh.

The 1938 baseball season was not as successful as that usually enjoyed by Ccdarville. The weather man, however, was the winner in most of the games rather than our opponents, as we were rained out of games with Wilberforce, Ohio State and Bluffton. The highlight of the season was the game with Miami University. Though we lost 11-0, we were not beaten as badly as the score indicates, and we would welcome a chance to avenge the defeat. The big disappointment of the season was the 7-4 defeat at the hands of our arch rival. Wilmington, on Cedar Day. Another season is with us though, and we expect it to be a very suc- cessful one under cur new baseball coach. John Mills, a former star player at Cedarville. With much promising new material to assist the several lettermen. Eldon Gillespie. Mel Thompson, and James Jackson, we feel cer- tain the 1939 season will be a most successful one.

For this reason we have participated with enthusiasm in the course in Physical Education under the capable leadership of Mary Jean Townsley. Tennis courts were of first interest and lively tournaments followed. Foil: dancing gave us opportunity to acquire rhythm and poise Plans are being made to demonstrate the results of our efforts on Cedar Day. V c could not have been soectators at the exciting contests of our boys' basketball squad without catching a bit of their fervor, so we spent many lively hours of friendly rivalry in basketball. Volleyball gave less strenuous, but equally spirited exercise. Spring is in the air and we are looking forward to more hours of combat over the tennis nets. We will find a champion on our courts.

Early in the year the men enjoyed hard ball as well as soft ball. Soon cooler weather brought into action a most popular sport, football. Winter sports of volley ball and basketball were well accepted by the men and tumbling was introduced to help build healthier bodies. This department plays an important role in the entertainment prepared for Cedar Day and here exhibits the results of work done throughout the year. If our present expectations and plans materialize, the near future will see Cedarville College with a complete and up-to-date physical education department. JAMES JACKSON Men’s Phys. Ed. Director. Page Fifty-One To most of ns, college life with- out its social side would be almost unbearable. True, we do appreciate our intellectual thirst and do try to satisfy it, but when we think of bal- ance, it is impossible to overlook the importance of the social side of col- lege life. Youth is fresh, vigorous, expres- sive! Youth must act, must laugh, must play. So with enthusiasm the youth of our college joins in the parties, games, dances, courtships and various other extra-curricular activities. E. CLAYTON WISEMAN, Features Editor V I 1 r 1 1 .
