In dramatics we present these members: Neil Hartman, outstanding matinee idol, Pud Anderson, glamor girl, Vona Ruth West, emotional star, and also Hal Thomas, Jim Northup, Helen Chitty and Tuny Kavanagh. As the outstanding all-around girl of our class we nominate Pud Ander- son. As an inspiring leader and work- er in the Y.W. and other Christian work, we select Doris Ramsey. Theodore James has the honor of being the outstanding singer of our class. For four years he has held his own in all competition. The jollicst person in our class is undoubtedly Theodora Smithers. Scholastically two members of our class, Neil Hartman and Art Geakc, have been nominated to membership in the Crown Club, Cedarville Honor- ary Society. This senior class probably isn’t outstanding, yet. we believe Cedarville may well be proud of it. We have tried to be a credit to the College. As we fall short, it is that much more of a challenge, to you who follow. In be- half of the Senior Class, former and present members, I say Carry on!” Arthui Geakc. Pres, of Senior Class Senioni Ga+t idU Pa e Twenty-one

OFFICERS Lejt to Right: Neil Hartman Vice-President Elizabeth Anderson Secretary-T reasurer Arthur Geake President Qn.aduateA. 194-1 For the last four years we have eagerly awaited this moment of grad- uation. We just couldn't wait until we, too, should be alumni. But now as the time of graduation approaches we aren't so sure that we really want to leave. Certainly, we have worked hard in these four years, but we have played hard also. Let us sketch briefly our history to show why we have a few heartaches as we prepare to leave Cedarvillc. In the fall of 1937 forty-three fresh- men entered Cednrville College. We went through the usual initiation of rides, peculiar dress and Willow Bend and survived without any serious cas- ualties. At our first class meeting Richard ‘“Mugger” MacKnight was elected our class president. Under his capable direction we became adjusted to college life. We started living again in this new world. There were class parties, new friendships, romances to take up our time. In addition to our social life we also managed to keep up in our studies. In our sophomore year we contin- ued to grow under the leadership of Clayton Wiseman. At the end of the year twenty-six Normal students left us to take up their duties as school- teachers and to follow other useful pursuits in life. Our junior year was a continued success. We carried our share of the burden under the presidency of Neil Hartman. The highlight of the year was a successful Junior-Senior ban- quet held at the Dayton Y.M.C.A. This, our Senior year, has been a grand experience. We have learned to live and get along with our fellow students. We say we are leaving Cedarvillc College — we mean only as students for a Cedarvillc man never actually leaves Cedarvillc. The Col- lege will always be in our minds and we shall ever return whether only in memory or at the annual Homecoming. A word in closing this brief history about the outstanding personalities of our class. Our year was saddened by the loss of Robert Reed at the end of ihe first semester due to a prolonged illness. Bob. for four years a member of our basket ball team, and outstand- ing baseball player, was also one of the most popular boys in school. We are all hoping for his speedy recovery. It would be impossible to mention all the successful achievements of our class. This may be found in another part of our book. However, we include this brief summary. In athletics we are proud of the following men: “Iron Man Thomas, (enough said), Tuny Kavanagh, All-Ohio basketball player, Ned Brown — baseball and basketball, Neil Hartman — basketball and ten- nis. Jim Northup — baseball and bas- ketball. Page Twenty
