SENIORS CLASS OF 1940 Fcur years ago forty-two freshmen embarked on their college career. We survived Willow Bend, cleaned off the steps of the Main building—for once.—and then we felt at home. Eldon Gilles- pie as our president, very ably guided us through our freshman year. With a number not much diminished we entered upon our sophomore year with as little mercy for the incoming class as we had received the previous year. Under the leadership of John Peterson we made our presence felt in the fields of athletics, dra- matics. Y.M.C.A., Chi Sigma Phi. Alpha Theta Tau. Delta Kappa Sigma, and Gospel Team. John Peterson and Donald Foulks sang with the college Harmonizers. Mary Jane Hampton and Bette Allison both were married and withdrew from college. In the fall of 1938, our number much decreased by the previous June commencement, twelve of us returned. This year Russel (Lanky) Roberts was chosen as president. The high spot of this year was the banquet given the Seniors by our class, at the Y.M.C.A. in Dayton. Another case of matrimony appeared with the announcement of the marriage of Donald Foulks and Katherine Smith of Waynesville. September 1939 found 10 Seniors back in harness—the last lap of the journey toward a degree and a job. Russel Roberts was again elected president of the class as well as Student Body Presi- dent. Mr. and Mrs. Foulks announced the arrival of a daughter and the Lavernc Whipp-Margaret Ott romance culminated in marriage early in the new year. Our class has been decreased by onc-fourth during our four years at C. C. Survival of the fittest? Perhaps—. Irene Goodin. Eighteen Pictured below is some of those in class room management, which is typical of senior classes in preparation for teaching. We have worked hard in preparing ourselves for the teaching profession. We have all taken our turn at practice teaching which is an ex- perience none of us will ever forget. In closing we all sincerely hope that none of our pupils see what is written on this page. , Back Row: GILLESPIE. FERGU- SON. SHAW. BICKER. Front Row: JOHNSON. ROB- ERTS.

We were not so eagerly look- ing forward to the initiation we were about to receive: however, under the capable guidance of Richard McKnight we managed to pass over the rough spots of that first year. Last year found us a little more sure of ourselves, and under the direction of Clayton Wiseman we were well represented in all college activities. This year many of our number failed to return due to the call of the teaching profession. Again wo arc well represented in college activities. Seven of our boys played basketball and three baseball. Hal Thomas was one of the mainstays of the newly formed track team. We are eagerly looking ahead to our senior year. L. Burns Tanksley, Class Reporter.

After the much feared initiations became history we were accepted as members of ol' C.C. Beginning a now year in the fall of '39 with one of our memor- able steak fries we were off to a flying start.” We lost several members from our Freshman Closs but new ones took their places. We have hod many enjoyable times together: steak fries, skating parties, dances, and a hay ride filled our calendar. Wo have been well represented in extra-curricular activities. Almost all the girls took an active part in the Y.W., the Sororities, and in the intra-mural sports. All the boys took part in intra-murals. Our class was represented in Varsity basketball by Whitey Linton and Ned Brown. Guthrie. Wilson, Linton, Brill, Brown and Reinhard were our contribution to the baseba'I squad. We hope they will all be back next year to help make an even greater athletic history. Wc are looking forward with eagerness to our coming Junior year. May it be as full of happiness as the last two have been. SOPHOMORES ♦ Vona Ruth West is sooted ot tho piano in the chapel. Holen Rost loots tho world over. John Bictett does somo export weighing.

In the second week they elected as president Montgomery West: vice-president. Hank Foster; secre- tary. Jane Jolley: treasurer. David Galey: intra-mural representatives. Anna Lee Long and Lee Miller; class reporter. Vincent Rigio. Freshman week was highlighted by Vince Rigio's 40 mile ride and the tug-of-war which the freshmen would have won if the sopho- more girls had not aided their classmates in pulling the frosh through the water. The year's activities included the freshman feed, a dance and two skating parties. The class of '43 distinguished itself in intra- mural sports, running a close second to the Juniors. It supplied much of the material for the undefeated girls' basketball team and the men's varsity and junior varsity basketball, baseball and track teams. The start of the second semester. Christian Arnold and Eileen Brown added their names to the class roster bringing the total to twenty-six. The year as a whole was pleasant with only a few difficulties.

Kavanagh, Roberts. Brown. McNeal. and Wiseman began the year in their customary manner, but a series of mishaps and changes soon put the names of Linton. Hartman. Moore, and Thomas on the line-up. It was especially after the half year that the team developed into a well-organized squad and settled down to the task before them. It is doubtful if any coach can boast of a squad of equal potentialities, and much credit is due Miller for his efforts in the development of plays which best suited his men. Highlights of the season include a victory at Otterbein. a memorable trip to Miami University, the ever-to-be-remembered Homecoming game with Holbrook, a thrilling over time game with Wilberforce that ended in victory and the final game, when Lanky Roberts, our graduating star, showed why he and Tuny Kavanagh won Honorable Mention as forwards on the Associated Press' myth- ical All-State Team.

Jane Jolley and Bette Lee Garrison. Dressed in their new colorful uniforms these girls furnished the oomph to give the boys the will to win. They showed great ability by the loud yells they brought forth from the small crowd that followed the team. We are sure they deserve the frontispiece given them in this book. Harold Thomas.

The team as a whole had a batting average better than .300 with four members of the starting nine batting well over the .300 mark. The season was begun by splitting a double header with Rio Grande. Other games won were two with Bonebrake Seminary, one with Bluffton and one with Urbana University. In the final gamo of the season on Cedar Day the Cedarville nine were defeated by’the close margin of 10-8 although they outhit the Wilmington nine. In spite of the loss of five lettermen and two substitutes we are looking forward to a more successful season this spring. This year sees the return of Dayton University to the baseball schedule. Regulars left ovr from last year are Bob Reed, Eldon Gillespie, Harold Thomas, Justin Northup. and Ned Brown. This year as last the team will be under the leadership of Coach John Mills.

INTRAMURAL BOARD An Intramural Board of Control was organized to govern inter- class activities. Eight of the ten members were elected by the student body, a man and a woman being selected from each of the four undergraduate classes. A varied activity program was inaugurated with the following seasonal sports being staged: tennis, soccer, baseball, six-man touch football, volleyball, badminton, basketball, bowling, track, and soft- ball. It is the hope of the Department that soccer and speedball, as well as swimming be added to next year's program. The following are the class results in the Intramural program. The class of 1941 led with thirty-eight and a half points. Strength in men's basketball, volleyball, and tennis, and in women's tennis and badminton gave the Juniors their lead. Close behind was the class of 1943. with thirty and a half points, all because of the athletic prowess of the fair sex of the yearling contingent. Next in order were the classes of 1942 and 1940 respectively. The former garner- ing twenty-seven points while the latter won twenty-four. Thirty-fou, Inframurals have become more popular and much more inter- esting this year. The Director of Health and Physical Education set up a definite program to follow. There were many events run off during the fall and winter months. An Intramural Festival was held in March for eliminations. Somo acrobatic stunts on tho parallel bars.

Thompson. The establishment of the Department was four-fold: first, that the College be able to grant a degree in the field of Health and Physical Education; second, to establish a more central unit for the administration of intercollegiate athletics; third, to organize and ad- minister an intramural program and fourth, to enlarge the activity program of the College. The college intercollegiate athletic program was doubled during the past year in that regular scheduled contests were arranged for the varsity track and tennis teams. It is also the hope of the De- partment that enrollment will someday be large enough to warrant the return of intercollegiate football. The Department has already contracted several new changes for the grounds and the Gymnasium. A quarter-mile track and a field suitable for football and soccer is to be built on the large tract ot land to the north of the Science Building. With the addition of newer and better facilities and enlarge- ment of the personnel, the Department of Health and Physical Edu- cation is looking forward to its place in the field of service.

Forty-one CEDRUS STAFF Work on the Cedrus began iast fall and there has been some- thing going on constantly in one way or another to make this a book that will bring pleasure to us in years to come. The staff has responded well to get the work completed. The many organizations have helped exceptionally well. We are grateful to all these and most certainly to Bill Freund who is very largely responsib'e for the putting together of this 1940 edition. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy looking through this book in the future. We feel it will be a most cherished book in your collections. Russel Roberts. Cedrus Editor. Foriy-two The editor-in-chief this year of the college weekly was Burns Tanksley. He has done a commendable job in getting the most from his staff. He was ably assisted by Orsadee Stewart, the assistant editor. Betty Lee Garrison became noted for the amount of scandal she found for each edition. The art editor was Janice Finkc who did a fine bit of picture-making for the front page. The sports editor could be listed as second to none. Arthur Geake may be com- mended in keeping the students up in the world of sports. The typists. Catherine Ferguson. Ted James, and Hazel Bush could al- ways be counted upon to do their part. There were several good editorials which showed some fore- thought on the part of the editor. The scandal page often created quite a furore among the students but it was all taken in good fun. The students and faculty have always been entitled to express their various opinions on any subject which in any way brings closer Together a'l those here at the college. I believe we can truthfully say this year's paper has been a great success. Burns Tanksley. Editor. WHISPERING CEDARS STAFF Geake. Galey. Bush. James. Ferguson. Garrison. Finite, Roinhard. Stowart. Linton. Tanksley. Forty-three y M C A The Y.M.C.A. of Ccdarvillc College is proud to have such a fine group of young men. who are interested in living a clean and healthy life. This organization has encouraged good fellowship among the members and those whom they come in contact with also. A spirit of leadership has been developed too. We are very grateful to our program chairman. Neil Hartman, in bringing to us so many outstanding and interesting speakers. The Y.W.C.A. has given fine cooperation, and the joint meetings have given great benefit to both organizations. The Y.M.C.A. is perhaps one of the oldest and still the most cherished organizations upon any campus. It is a most necessary part of our college curriculum in binding Christian living to the rest of the scholastic program. In closing we are interested in accepting Christ as our leader over all.

Forty-four The Y.W.C.A. opened the school year with a Big and Little Sister Tea at the home of Doris Ramsey during the first week of school. Following the usual custom, the girls drew names for Secret Pals and exchanged gifts during the six weeks before Christmas. During this time the girls were all wondering who their secret pals might be. This mystery was ended at the annual Christmas party at the home of Mrs. C. W. Steele. In November the Annual Committal Service, in memory of Frances McChesney, was held at the Presbyterian Church. At this service the now members and the cabinet took their pledge of loyalty to the Y.W. One Friday morning during March the girls tried to give the Mock Wedding during the Chapel period. Boforo it was all over the bride (Grace Bickett) was token for a ride. This year we sponsored a Spring Tea. It was held on April 12. in the gym. April Showers Tea would probably have been a bet- ter name for it since it rained most of the day. As a climax of our activities of the year the girls and their mothers enjoyed a social time together at the Annual Mother and Daughter Banquet, which was held on Friday evening. May IOth. The Y.W.C.A. has prospered well this year in having one hun- dred per cent membership. There have been very interesting meet- ings during the year, many of which were jointly with the Y.M.C.A.

Forty-fixe YWCA i ALPHA THETA TAU Another successful year has passed into history for the Alpha Theta Tau. Besides our regular meetings, we have enjoyed several socials. Early in the year wo had a covered dish supper with Janette Neal: um-um! What food: what cooks! Here we made plans for the year's work. The outstanding activity of November was the Harvest-Time Party. Active members, alumnae, rushees and friends all joined in the fun. The Gym was quite effectively decorated with fodder and pumpkins. A rail fence set apart the table games from the dances and folk games. The balloon dance took the cake. What a time each girl had to keep her balloon away from those tramping feet! Old friendships were renewed and new ones made on this night. The December meeting was held with Jane Mills who kindly invited the Sorority and rushees to her home for the Christmas dinner. Gifts were exchanged: then the group went carol singing. In January we helped Janette Neal and Mae Stebbins celebrate their birthdays. Did you know they were twins? Katherine Randall opened her home for the pledge service the next month: later we attended a B.B. game. In April we worked on the Sorority album with Doris Ramsey. What interesting memoirs pictures are! More good times are being planned for May, including a Cedar Day luncheon. During the year our ranks were swelled to fourteen and what a time the pledges had initiation week. To our active sisters continuing at C.C. we hand the torch and cry, Carry it on high!

Forty-six Our ranks were rather small at the beginning of the year and we added Margaretta Lott and Virgie Gossard to our membership. Miss Neistrath became our faculty advisor and our faithful Glenna Basore graduated to the position of honorary member. This semester we have taken seven pledges into our ranks: Bette Lee Garrison, Catherine Ferguson. Beatrice Williams, Lillian Gilliam, Anna Lee Long. Martha Jayne Spahr. and Jane Jolley, and we think they will add their share to the Sorority. In our customary manner we continued having fun. Our Christ- mas Alumnae luncheon was one of the highlights of the year. The rush slumber party was a never-to-be-forgotten occasion also. The “Leap Dance hit a new high in Cedarville Collego history along with the lovely May Formal. A supper party in honor of our pledges formal initiation was the feature that made us what we are today—seventeen sisters of Chi Sigma Phi who answer that familiar call, Members of the Chi Sigma Phi Sorority will meet at Mrs. Harriman’s at four o'clock.

C H I I G M A P H I Forty-seven GOSPEL TEAM This last semester has been a .very active one for the Gospel Team. We have received several new members: Bette Lee Garrison, Beatrice O'Bryant, Eugene Stewart. Helen O'Bryant, and Dorothy 3ogenrife. The following officers were chosen: Irene Goodin, busi- ness manager: Doris Ramsey, secretary and treasurer: Virg'e Gossard, president. The other active members are Isabel McClellan, Junia Crcswell. Donald Foulks. Ted James, Royden Johnson, Vona Ruth West, and Montgomery West. Committees were appointed to take charge of our weekly meet- ngs. Among the meetings of outstanding interest, perhaps the one of greatest interest was the one in which each member chose a Bible character and told how this character had influenced his life. Some of our weekly meetings have been held in private homes. Two homes n which very interesting meetings have been held were those of Dr. Market and Mr. Gordon. We have been invited to conduct services in several churches. In Cedarville, services were held in the Methodist Church and the Zion Baptist Church. The other services were held at the following places: Catawba, Bookwalter. Pitchin. South Solon. Mount Sterling, and Jamestown. Some of the topics of the meetings were— Hear- ing the Still Small Voice , Christian Methods of Action , Prayer , and Christian Service . All of the members of the Gospel Team wish to express their appreciation for the loyal support of all friends in Cedarville College and elsewhere. We have enjoyed the Christian fellowship in the service of Jesus Christ. E. Stewart. Gossard. Owens. Foulks, Crcswoil, Johnson, Ramsey, Goodin. I:orly-cight i MUSIC .... The college choir was composed of twenty mem- bers this year who faithfully rehearsed every Mon- day and Wednesday evenings in the basement of the library. The choir sang at all the religious services which were sponsored by the college. These services were the Men's Bible Reading contest in November, the Day of Prayer in February, and the Women's Bible Reading contest in March, and the Baccalaurete Service. The choir participated in a musical program at Wi'berforce on International Day. February 12. and a meeting of the Jamestown P.-T.A. The three main programs which were sponsored by the choir this year were a Christmas cantata, an Eastern oratorio, both of which were held in the Presbyterian Church, and a Ye Old Folks Con- certe which was held in the gymnasium. Mrs. Mary C. Markle is the director and accom- panist for the choir. Chitty. Nolson. Stobbins. Johnson. Lott. Guthrio. Miller. Hartman. Owons, Long, B. 0'8ryant. Mrs. Markle. Noel, Finko, Goodin.
