CEDARVILLE COLLEGE IN CEDARVILLE • A m T DUANESBURGH, N. Y.. in May of 1879. the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church decided to establish a Liberal Arts Collecro. By the will of William Gibson, an elder in the First Presbyterian Church. Cincin- nati. a bequest of S25.000 was left in 1886 to found tho colleqe at Cedarvjllo. Greene County. Ohio. A charter was obtained for The Cedamlle Colleqe in 1887. In May of 1894. the General Synod at Coulterville, Illinois, resolved to open Codarville College on September 19. 1894. On this date the college was opened for instruction to thirty six students in tho fine old mansion formerly owned by Rev. Hugh McMillan. D. D., the first pastor of the Main Street Reformed Presbyterian congregation of Codarville. In this place three-quarters of a century ago. Dr. McMillan taught an academy, from which graduated a number of illustrious men. These quarters proving too hampered for tire work, the new fcuildinq was erected and entered tho following year. The cornerstone of this building was laid with impres- sive services on June 25. 1895. and the dedication took place during the meeting of Synod in 1896. The Reverend David McKinney, pastor of the First Relorrned Presbyterian Church, Cincinnati, was chosen the first president. He continued in that capacity until 1915. He then resigned and was succeeded by W. R. McChesney, D. D. In 1928 tho General Synod at Coulterville, Illinois, by unanimous vote, gave all control. ownership, title, and vested property rights of CedarviUe College to the Board of Trustees of Cedarvillo College and their successors forever. Since 1928, the Board of Trustees, composed for tho most part of Presbyterians, have had full control and management of CedarviUe College. In June, 1939. President McChosncy asked to be relieved of his administra live duties by or before July, 1941. In accordance with this wish, the 3oard secured tho Rev. Walter S. Kilpatrick, of the class of 1934, as president elect. His inauguration as third president of CedarviUe College took place October 4, 1940. In 1913 the Theological Seminary of tho Reformed Presbyterian Church was moved to CedarviUe. where for over a quarter of a century it has operated in close cooperation with the college. During the fcrty-six years of its history Cedarvillo College has drawn to its halls students from all parts of the United States and other parts of the world. Its alumni are located throughout our country and in foreign lands. Cedarville College is located in Cedarville. Ohio, on the Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad. Good buslines also run from Columbus, Dayton, Springiield, Cincinnati, Cleve- land, and all intermediate points to Cedarville. Cedarville is situated in the northern part of the far-famed Miami valley. It is the birthplace of the late Ambassador Whitelav, Reid. It is noted for its fine public schools, good churches, sturdy citizens, and hospitable homes. The friendship and quiet of a small town and tho convenience of PRESIDENT W. S. KILPATRICK access to nearby cities combine to make Cedarville an ideal location for a small Christian college. Cedarvillo College is committed to a three fold purpose. The college course is well-balanced and accurate in content, presenting the student with a full pic- ture of life in the world in which he lives. Expenses are kept at the lowest pos- sible level and students are helped to find ways of meeting even these low costs when they cannot do so themselves. The purpose o: Cedarville College is to secure a high modern form of literary and scientific education under care- ful supervision and Christian influences, without restriction of personal opinion, and with open door and equal privileges to both sexes and to all classes and conditions of men. By its charter, issued under the laws of the State of Ohio, January 21, 1887, Cedarville College is recognized as a degree-granting institution. On April 16, 1915, the State Department of Education recognized Cedarville College as an institution for the professional training of teachers . Students whose work can merit the recommendation of the faculty can expect to enter other colleges, undergraduate or post-graduate, without less of standing. Cedarville College is a member of the National Conference of Church- Related Colleges, an association numbering sev- eral hundred of tho loading Christian institutions of higher education in the country. Tho Presbyteries of Cincinnati, Dayton. Co- lumbus, and Portsmouth, of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., have commended Cedarville Col- lege to the consideration of parents who have chil- dren to educate and also to tho generosity and liberality of the constituents of these respective presbyteries. Cedarville College has survived and has solved all the difficult problems to which small colleges are subject. It is now on a program of expansion. With such a history and a Christian spirit, it is sure to succeed. BOARD OF TRUSTEES Term Expires 1941 Goorgo H. Hartman.............................Codarvlllo.

VAYHINGER, our new and well-liked business-manager. PRESIDENT KILPATRICK ( Pat ) will be around somewhere. DR. JURKAT'S hangout is at the head of the stairs. He keeps his door open invitingly and has a box of crackers ready to feed his classes, as well as to give them a variety of knowledge. Across the hall is MISS NIESTRATH, our petite French teacher. Her hobbies are speeches and Mexico. If we go up a few steps we find DR. McCHESNEY (Dr. Mac to his classes) with the board covered with Greek letters, teaching under the motto, Think. DEAN STEELE occupies the room with all the maps. Anyone in his classes can tell you how much he makes history live by his dramatizations. The little room in the corner is MISS SANTMYER'S. She really can draw the authors from their covers and bring them to life for us. If we go to the science building wo‘11 find MR. WOOD- ARD ( Little John ) deeply engrossed in some form of science. Upstairs, MR. HOSTETLER has just returned from the high school where he's been encouraging one of his practice-teachers. He keeps his classes cheerful with ap- propriate tales. MRS. KLING performs similar services for the ele- mentary practice-teachers. Her smile is something wo all remember. The room with tho picturos all around is MISS HY- SELL'S Art Salon, but you'll probably find hor over at the gym joining the girls in basketball or ping pong. COACH PYATTE is somewhere around hero too, ready to join one or more of his boys in any game. MR. HAUPT. the music director, is new this year, but he's working hard to build up the music department.

Ue Stosuf ajj the Etude+it Qo-uhccL This year, as in years past, the Student Body organized the Student Council. Originally, this organization served as staH and publishers of Cedarville College's weekly paper. The Whis- pering Cedars, along with acting as the student governing body. Through the ensuing years, however, it has become entirely devoted to its work of solving the civic problems of the students, leaving the Whispering Cedar3 Staff to publish the school paper. In various years since its creation in 1933 the President of the college and the deans of the men and women have represented the fac- ulty as members of the Student Council, but since 1938 they have not been present to act as active members in the regular Council meet- ings. Most meetings took place without the presence of faculty members. The faculty has been considered, of course, and has been well represented in all meetings where discussion of problems directly concerning them, or their relations with the students have taken place. Being started and continued with the thought in mind that cooperation is necessary for the good of all, Codarvillo Collcgo's 1942 student council has acted accordingly. Priding itself in its democratic v ays, the council has given careful consideration to several problems of student relationship in the past year. In its first meeting it decided upon the short- ening of the second semester. This was acted upon by a faculty recommendation and in the presence of faculty represented advisors. The proposed recommendation was accepted, a plan drawn up by which the shortening could be accomplished, a revision in daily and Com- mencement Week schedules made, and the whole presented to the entire student body for their acceptance. Another meeting of the Council and advisors was called to consider and accept another change in schedule to conform with the ad- vance in time proposed by the federal gov- ernment. Similar meetings were held when a decision was made to revise the old rule bock and bring it up to date. This revision is at present still in progress. The establishment of an honor roll was made by the council this year by which the names of those students having a B average or better are to be published each semester. The Student Council this year was ably conducted by Robert Guthrie, Student Body President and well represented for the Seniors by Bea Collier and E. Clayton Wiseman, for the Juniors by Bea Williams and Lee Miller, for the Sophomores by Betty Ervin and R. Henry Campbell, and for the Freshmen by Doris Williams and Louis Sweet. 1.

E G E I N N I N N w 7he Etosuf, of the P vo yiam The present conflict has emphasized the need for trained leaders in every field. Its use of leadership drawn from practically every walk of life has further intensified the need even in those fields far removed from actual combat. Moreover, it is generally agreed that the social, political, agricultural and industrial problems of the post-war era will demand a very much larger number of qualified leaders. Cedarville College has had a great history in the training of leaders. The record of her alumni and students has been an unusual one. Furthermore, Cedarville has always made her training available at a very low co3t. But she has long believed that many more worthy boys and girls were kept from this training largely by finances. Indeed, authorities toll us that one-third of the most promising graduates ol our high schools do not enroll in either collogos or universities. The reason is largely one of finances. After careful study of this problem, the Beard of Trustees has voted to acquire a farm as the first step toward a student self-help pro- gram. This farm together with related student industries will provide many new working op- portunities and materially reduce student costs. The reasons for the acquisition of a farm cs tho basic part of an enlarged student self- help program are: 1. We are situated in an unusual farming area. Greene County with its very large deposit of limestone is one of nature's gardens de- signed for producing abundant harvests. 2. The students will consume many of the products of the farm. The surplus products will have a ready sale in the open market, thereby solving the sales problem ol our work program. 3. Although native ability is confined to no section of our country, yet it is generally conceded that boys and girls from rural areas havo exceptional qualifications for leaders, especially where there must be a re- lationship between what one knows and v hat he doos. Their early contact with the soil and the creative forces of life has given them unusual success in fields where lead- ership is demanded. The basic farm-work program will tend to develop those deep- rooted character and personality traits so much in domand. Careful studies carried on during the past several years have convinced us that the sum of SI 00,000 will be needed during the next three years to develop the student-operated farm, to initiate on a small scale other indus- tries that would grow out of it, and to make those capital improvements necessary to carry tho experiment boyond its formative stages into production on a self-maintaining basis. Ol this amount approximately one-half would be devoted directly to the building up of tho farm and other basic studont-omploying industries. Tho remainder would be used for labor grants and loans to needy students, collogo improve- ments and equipment, including student hous- ing, necessary salary increases and budget re- quirements until the self-help project is fully developed.

Ite £tvuj, Epxviti Sports at Cedarville College in 1941-42 were directed by new instructors. C. D. Pyatto was the athletic coach and Miss Margaret Hysell was physical education director for ihe girls. counted on as main-stays. Other letter-men, John Roinhard, a senior, and John Sanders, sophomore were also slated for heavy duty. Pyatte then began classifying his other play- ers according to ability and experience. He watched Layden Buck Wilson, Harold Cony. Paul Stonobumor, Fred Lewis, Millard French. Lauroll Flory, Dave Galcy, and Keith Wright in action. None of these players had had any previous extensive experience on a college varsity, but out of these, were to be chosen two, or possibly three starters. Coach Pyatte issued the call for the base- ball squad soon after school started. Because of the decrease in the enrollment, barely enough boys reported to compose a team, but, after a few weeks of practice, the squad had rounded into shape and gave signs of develop- ing into a fairly good ball club. The team had a pair of practice games scheduled with Wilmington College in the fall, but was able to play only one of them. That game played at Wilmington was decisively in favor of the Quakors; still there wore possibil- ities for a winning Yellow Jacket team, it was thought. Coach Pyatte was of the opinion that, for some reason, the squad did not play the type of baseball of which they were fully cap- able in that opening game and he looked for- ward to a bettor result in the next meeting of the club. However, rainy weather followed by coldness cancelled the game and sent the boys insido for their alhlotics. During the fall the girls were participating in soft bail and other out door activities under the direction of Miss Hysoll. When the adverse weather began. Coach Pyatte lost little time in starting the basketball practices. About fiftoon boys wore on hand for the initial practices. This squad had nearly a month of practice before the season opened. During this time. Coach Pyatto experimented with various combinations. He had only four lettermen to work with and it was evident that he would have to use some of his freshmen or other untried talent in important roles. R. Henry Hank Campbell and Harry Stonebumer. both sophomores who starred on the preceding Cedar team and were named to the second I.O.C. all conference team last year, were By the timo the team was ready to open the season at Tiffin University, the coach had chosen the following lineup to represent the orange and blue in that oponing I.O.C. game: forwards, Harry Stonebumer and Harold Corry; center, John Sanders; and guards. Hank Camp- bell and Buck Wilson. That team battled to a 35-31 loss with only two subs getting into the game, John Reinhard and Keith Wright. Fresh- man Corry led the losing battle with 10 points. The next engagement was at Wilmington. The rivalry between the two teams having been sharpened by a home and home painting visit, both squads scrapped through a nip and tuck second half to a 33-27 result. Wilmington's first half superiority told the tale as the last period was almost even. Stonebumer racked up 17 points after going in as a sub. and he was ably supported by a hard fighting Cedar team. Otterbein's overwhelming victory proved a terrific let-down to the whole team. A hot band of Ottors, oponing their season on their home floor, swamped the Cedars 59 to 35. Although Cedarville was never in the gamo at Earlham, they showed heretofore hidden scoring power. A loose defense cost them an- other gamo however, 66 to 44. The next game proved no better. Ball play- ing out of their class and without the services of Corry who withdrew from school. Cedarville lost 74-35 to Dayton University. A vast supply of reserve talent for Dayton seemed to de- moralize our boys, but both Campbell and Stonebumer turned in good scoring games. Getting back to their own league the Yellow Jackets were nosed out in a heart-breaker. The defeat by Indiana Tech 42-41 was hard to take. THIS I S CEDARVILLE COLLE Sponti co U u e L ior Cedarville led 22-16 at the half and ap- peared to have their first victory of the season. Another bittor pill was the fact that it was an- other I.O.C. game. Sanders added tho scoring punch which almost netted the win. Coach Pyatte placed the next game in the hands of his rookies; Fiery. Lewis, Galcy. Wright, and Paul Stoneburner were given their starting chances against Giffin. They respond- ed nobly and, helped by tho regulars later on. they chalked up the first win for the hardwood campaign, 55-33. Tho regulars came back with a vengeance against a powerful Wilberforce University team. Displaying better than usual team play, our boys made it tough for W. U. in the first half, leading 19-17 but went down fighting in the second half 37 to 31. The game which Cedar cagers would rather disregard is the one at Morehead, Kentucky, State Teachers College. It was a combination of an off night for the Jackets and a definitely on night for the Ky. lads. The result was (sh) 90-37. Cedarville received a severe set back at Van Wert where they played Giffin U. again. Coach Pyatte's rookies given another chance were apparently lost, and before they were yanked and the regulars inserted the margin of victory had been made. The final score was 51-44. Harry Stoneburner made thirteen con- secutive free throws after missing his first three. He ended the game with a total of 19 points, while Campbell was next with 16. One of the best performances of the year was on the Indiana Tech floor at Fort Wayne. Tho regular starting five played the entire game and emerged with a well dcsorved 35 25 decision. Smooth team play was the form- ula which meant victory. The home coming crowd suffered with the team in an overtime defeat at the hands of Bluffton, but not before many breathless min- utes of good basketball were played. Camp- bell was high point man v ith 21 points and P. Stoneburner connected for 14 points on long shots. Cedarville. v ith P. Stoneburner hitting again and H. Stoneburner making an all season high of 24 points, ran roughshod over Tiffin 62-42. Tho campaign closed with another thrilling close loss to Wilberforce U. This time it was the Force that built up a first half lead only to have Cedarville threaten it strongly in the final period. A 39 to 34 score was the result of the second mooting of tho two teams. Cedarville ended the season with three wins and 11 losses, not an enviable record, but the cagers heve offered no alibis or complaints, and neither will we. Surprisingly enough we find that Cedarville. despite some landslide scores were only out scored 685 to 553, an average of 49 points for the opponents against 39.5 for the Jackets per game. Harry Stone- burner led in individual scoring honors v ith 201 points; Campbell was next with 137. Cedarville finished second in tho I.O.C. conference, behind the co-champions Indiana Tech and Tiffin U. Campbell and Stoneburner wore named on the all Conference team for the second time. For the first time in the history of the col- lege, the freshmen were crowned champions of the intramural basketball program. A series of six games were played among the class teams. The freshmen annexed the title by de- feating the sophomores in the final round of plcry. Meanwhile, Miss Hysell's girls' team had their annual home and home series v ith the Wilmington lassies. In January, our girls were guests at the Clinton County school. The fightin' Quakorettes dined the Cedarville girls after pasting a lopsided defeat on them on the baskotball floor earlier in the afternoon. The C. C. coeds returned the compliment to the Wilmington girls in March, but were lam- basted by another one-sided score. In intramural ping pong tournaments, Martha Shaw and Laurrell Flory won the hon- ors in the girls division and in the boys' divis- ion, respectively. The tcumey was open to all students and faculty members. The baseball squad has been greatly handi- capped this spring by bad weather and the shortened college year. They will, however, meet several of the surrounding schools in spring games. Track and tennis were postponed because of the shortened college year. E I N N I N E T E E N FORTY TWO 1.

The follow- ing officers were elected in the second moot- ing: President, Laurel Diltz; Vice President, Dor- othy Bogenrife; Secretary, Beatrice O'Bryant, and Treasurer, Clayton Wiseman. At one meeting a quiz pregram was en- joyed by all who participated. Two one-act comedies and one skit wore presented this year by members of the club. They revealed dramatic ability in the society and much of thoir success was due to the director, Miss Basore. A one-act comedy. Who Gets the Car To- night?” was presented at the College and upon request was given later at the High School at Carlisle, Ohio. Members cf the cast were: Clayton Wiseman, Helen O'Bryant, Dean Babb, Wanda Hughes, and Robert Allen. The next presentation was a skit, Meet the Duke. The parts were played by Alton Earnhart, Maxine Heinz, Dorothy Clark, and Betty Irvine. Mushroom's Cornin' Up was a high light of the year. Its success was proven by the request to be performed three times, two times at the College and once at Geyer's Restaurant in Xenia for the Cedarville College Alumni Association. The cast included. Mary Alice O'Bryant, Laurel Diltz, Beatrice O'Bryant, Vel- ma Henderson, Dorothy Bogenrife, and Beatrice Collier. The year was ended by tho class play The Family Upstairs with the all-star cast: Laurel Diltz, John Relnhard, Orsadee Stewart, Clayton Wiseman, Rachel Neal. Keith Wright, Beatrice O'Bryant, and Beatrice Collier. Tho choir this year was undor the able leadership of Oscar Haupt. Several very good performances were given, including a broadcast at Columbus under the auspices of the Alumni Association cf Cedarville College. This per- formance was highly commended, end all the members enjoyed tho trip immensoly. The choir also sang at the Men's Bible Reading Con- test, at Committal Service, and at Chapel. An- other of its outstanding performances was the Christmas Candle-light Service, very well done and much enjoyed by everyone. The second semester the mixed choir was organized into a girls' choir. This performed several times, including a performance at Bac- calaureate. Credit must be given to tho sextette which sang at the Teachers' Reception and at chapel, and to several individuals, Doris Williams. Orsadee Stewart, and Harold Guthrie for solos and duets. Characteristic cf Miss Williams is. that she is always there with a song. An orchestra was organized under the lead- ership of Mr. Baas of Cedarville High School. This gave excellent performances at tho Teach- ers' Reception and at the Home-coming. This was Mr. Haupt's first year at Cedar- ville, and he can be commended for tho ox cellent work he produced. Other music enjoyed was the carolling done at Christmas time by all interested members, singing at tho dorm at open-house, music at noon in the chapel, and other informal music times. All in all life at Cedarville has been in- spired and cheered by the performances of the musical organizations and of the dramatic club. 1. In spring a young man's fancy lum lo — well anyway.

E I N NINETEEN FORTY TWO T H Jlte £tosuf, ajj Human beings are an eternal source of mys- tery and wonderment. Unpredictable, delicate, strong, flexible, endurable, good, bad, humans are divergency itself. Permeated with life and feeling, subject to stimuli of an endless variety, humans respond In crczy fashion to existence. A pickle may cause someone to loso his job. A dirty look may shatter the hopes of a prom- ising day. A kind word may stimulate the timid soul to command a nation. A war may leave a man unchanged, steady, and sure. So great is the variety of life's reactions. Men love life, hold her, end struggle to beautify and enhance her. Some teach, some preach, some farm, some beg, some build, some destroy. In an endless fantastic pattern the threads of life intertwine to make a world throb, and rock, and weaken, and recover. This particle of matter, insignificant yet vital, in tho galaxies of space without begin- ning or end, has nothing of wonderment, noth- ing of mystery except its abundance of life, most mysterious of all existence. In creeping things, in plants, in crying things and swift- moving things, in fighting things and loving things, in man life flows with uninterrupted flow. Ambitious men, superior men. important men, educated men, purposeless men exist at the same time. Men are different in a great many ways but every man has an attitude, an ideal, a philosophy, a faith, a religion. This religious part of man causes man to struggle, to wonder, to seek, to ask, to think, to pray, to grow. And complete is the man that does all these religious things. These religious things have a place in the life of every student. Farseeing educators an- swered the need and we are provided with ample religious opportunities. Foremost, the lives of our college staff keep us mindful of religious living by word and deed. Actual student participation in relig- ious living is most marked in interstudent re lationships. It is not the Y's, the chapel pro- grams, the discussion and forum groups, the church and choir activities that predominate religious life at Cedarville. It is the friendly spirit, the will to learn, the ability to wonder and to think, the privilege to pray and to grow in the classroom, on the campus, at the games and parties that give us experience in actual religious living. These various organizations merely afford analysis, breathing spells, and stepping stones to higher thinking and nobler conduct. Religious people, although frequently found in so-called religious organizations, are reli- gious only because of their way of living. So when someone asks about the religion of Cedar- ville students, we can say certainly they are religious. They are continually struggling, wondering, seeking, asking, thinking, praying and growing. 1. Ono ot out junior� who hall� Iron� tho Croon Mountain tate ol Vermont 1� Loo Miller.

In 1942 we are still striving to uphold this ideal, if a smile will help a friend to start a successful day. a smile for everyone is our duty. Two sororities and one fraternity have tried to help spread the feeling of brotherly love on the campus this year, and as organizations have enjoyed furnishing entertainments for the school. Chi Sigma Phi Tho girls of tho Chi Sigma Phi Sorority havo been fortunate to have tho enthusiastic coop- eration of Miss Niestrath at their regular meet- ings at Hardman Hall this year. Parties of the organization varied from Chili Suppers to Theater Parties, and these intimate associations brought love and laughter to the heart of every member. Tho Christmas Season was filled with tho initiating of 1st semostor pledges, the making and selling of dainty boxes of candy, and the planning of the Annual Chi Sigma Phi Alumnae Christmas Dinner. Tho second semester hailed the fun end frolic to be anticipated from learning to know a new group of interesting pledges, who really showed their colors at the Gingham Swing. Tho crowning event of tho year was the Spring Formal. The music of Cedric Adams beat out the time, while friends, old and new. danced amid the swinging of balloons and crepe paper and the scent ol flowery arches. Alpha Theta Tau In the fall of '41 three active members, with the cooperation oi Mrs. Kling and Miss Hysell. began the 11 th year in the history of the Alpha Theta Tau Sorority. It was a pleasure to have Miss Hysell be another one ol our faculty advisors. Every month was held a meeting during which were made plans for the events of the year. Highlights of the year included a Valentine Dance, Weiner roast at Bryan Farm ana a Theatre Party for the rushes. The Sorority welcomed four girls into our circle ; June Ervin. Eileen Brown. Doris Wil- liams. and Mary E. Klatt. Tho History of Tho Chi Mu Delta Fraternity The Chi Mu Delta Fraternity was founded in September of 1941. The founders ana char- ter members were: L. Wilson, D.

At the first meeting the following officers were elected: L. Wilson, Pres.; L. Miller, vice president: H. Campbell, secretary-treasurer; and J. Sanders, Sergeant at arms. Meetings are held the first and third Mondays of every month. The Constitution was written and ar ranged by Henry Campbell and Wm. Meahl. Robert Allen wrote the pledge, and it was ac- cepted by the Fraternity. The Fraternity was fully organized on tho First of October, 1941. The colors chosen were, white, blue, and gold. The emblem is a shield with the Greek symbols XMA on it. The letters run from the lower right to the upper left corners. In the upper right corner is a crossed sword and broad axe.

G E I N N I N E T E E N FORTY TWO be Stony of Jlife at tlte. botun Dorm life begins at sun up with a brief, brisk scurry of the fifteen girls. Sheets and blankets are tossed into weird figures. Girls! Girls! scamper across carpeted floors in bare feet. Aluminum curlers click ar.d a tinkle of the housemother's bell calls all to a warm breakfast. Down at the dining-room table the girls assemble in array of the present and past. The conversation ranges from the quality of the food to the close criticism of the passersby. Everyone reports with exaggerated airs the amusements of the night before. After breakfast the old question of What shall I wear must be decided. The girls sur- vey one another's wardrobe and costume jew- elry. After unsuccessful attempts to make a size 32 dress fit a size 34. a return is made to their wardrobe only to find lhat someone else had been there before and had borrowed the coat to the needed suit. At twenty till nine they hurry off to class, trudging down the fire escape with an arm lead of books. At the approach of evening the girls re- turn with more vigor than when they left. They solemnly agree that a little work is good. From five to six the hour is employed again in dressing. They must be scrumptuously neat for the most important part of the day. Supper is served at the club at six, after which there are various evening entertainments such as walks, talks, movies, and parlor ro- mancing. At nine the hardwood door is bolted and a jam session of thirty minutes is permitted. When the small shiny handbell is rung an- nouncing quiet hours, the girls are supposed to change ever to tho intellectual side of life (if that's possible). The girls think that the best book is a closed book; however the never-ending task of lesson preparation must be faced. There are those that choose tho closed-book policy. Tho housomother travels upstairs to exercise her powers of authority, but to her surprise, finds the rats are sleeping as peace- fully as kittens. Perhaps if she would open a closet door she would find them huddled in a corner like mice. Tho stuffing of pajamas is a common act. Some innocent girl, free from the evening pranks, slips in at a late hour from a date, so cs to make no noise to awaken a sleeping dummy who, she thinks, is her beloved room- mate. It must be admitted that these dummies look more sensible than the girls that stuffed them. At twelve midnight, these girls suddenly realize that their evening of study is almost gone. Assuming a serious attitude, they study forty-five minutes and then drop off to sweet dreams, or night mares. Or.ce in a while a good scare is experienced by one to add a thrill to the life in the dorm. For instance, the episode of the man in a tan suit just ready to enter tho house when he was discovered. Being all for one and one for all. we com- fort the poor frightened creature and shyly in- quire, What did he look like? J y goodness! What a romantic bunch. 1. Last Cedar Day (1941). as many ol you will remember. Wilson and ■'Lucky'' Logan had a steamroller. Alter the program. Dean Steele consented to pose lor this picture. In his classes he olten asks tho quostion. What is a Juggernaut?'' Here. Professor Steele, is a juggernaut! Cedar Day has become a tradition at Cedarvlllo College. Each year the students have a program oi music, comedy and dance. This program is held eithor in the Allrod Gymnasium (2) or out on tho collego campus. The 1941 queen was Elisabeth Anderson (S), affectionately called Puddy by her (riends. Along with her duties as Cedar Day queen. ’Puddy had chargo ol teaching the Maypole Danco and other dances. A line comedy team was discovered last year in 'Buck Wilson and Lucky Logan. They were assisted by Elwood Shaw. In picture number three we seo the girls entoring the boarding club in the library building. The club sorvos excellent food to about forty students oach meal. In number four we see Allen. Mlckoy. Martha and Bob. Mickey and Allen have become one of the steady couples soon about tho campus this year, while Martha and Bob both go steady: but not with each other. They arc enjoying the sunshino in front of Old Main. This is quite a popular pastime with students who never have anything to do. THIS I S CEDARVILLE COLLE POT P O U 1. Mixer — To start the yoar right, and to get acquainted with everyone, the Y. M. and Y. W. sponsored a mixer at the gym. We all enjoyed square dances and folk games with freshman Jean Ferguson officiating at the piano. The Virginia Reel was enjoyed by everyone — but the prize of the evening went to the coach. He not only enjoyed himself, but kept the rest of us amused. 2. The Pajama Parade - Always an ex- citing evont, it was an activity of the yoar which the girls will never forget. First ihere's the excitement of slipping out in the dead of night, then attempted serenades, exploration of back alleys, and a plentiful supply of cold water from unexpected directions. Rumor said that Bea Williams even explored a horse trouqh in the vicinity of Hartman's during the evening. 3. In tho Fall, the Faculty gave a reception for students of the college and thoir parents. During the evening the Cedarville College Or- chestra under the direction of Mr. Bass ap- peared in public for the first time. The Orches- tra presented several numbers which were very well received. Doris Williams sang, Mr. Bass played a violin solo. Miss Basore gave some readings and Wanda Hughes. Mrs. Roinhard. and Pres. Kilpatrick gave short speeches. 5. The Chi Mu Delta Fraternity sponsored a V for Victory Dance at Alford Memorial Gym. Tho boys carried out the patriotic theme in their red, white, and blue decorations with large flags at both end of the gym. The grand march, during which the frat Greek letters were formed, ended in a large V and a salute to the flag. One of the most enjoyable dances of the yoar followed. 6. The Y. W. Thanksgiving Committal Ser- vice was hold at tho First Presbyterian Church with Pres. Orsadee Stewart presiding. Al- though this service is held yearly, it seems to take on a new significance each time. White dresses and candlelight add to tho words of dedication and make the service remembered. Doris Williams and Dorothy Clark provided music for the evening and Mrs. Lonora Mac- Millan wes accompanist. Readers were Bea O'Bryant and Rachel Neal. 7. The Y. W. girls held their Secret Pal Chrislmas Party at the Dorm. This event gives us an opportunity to become better acquainted with the wives of the faculty and of the min- isters. Velma Henderson conducted an inter- esting Truth or Consequences quiz game, and we all enjoyed those refreshments which were left after the boys visited the kitchen secretly. Perhaps their visit accounts for the search for cars which followed. 4. Hallowe'en Party — At the time of ghosts and witches and things, the churches went to- gether to give the college one of the best parties of the year. Everyone came all masked, and efter parading in front of the judges prizes were given for best costumes. The decorations consisted of lots of com shocks, pumpkins, and other things suitable for Hallowe'en. Games were enjoyed by everyone, and appropriate re- freshments were served. 8. We celebrated our first basketball vic- tory of the year against Giffin at one of our first homes games with a triumphant snake dance led all over town by Layden Buck Wilson. The course ran through the various stores, lanes, and by-ways of tho town as well as the main streets, and gradually wandered back to the club where the evening onded with dancing. THIS I S CEDARVILLE COLL ( R R I ! ! ! 9. The long-anticipated Home-coming was hold on February 8 . About 250 quests onjoyed the banquet at which Rev. Dwight R. Guthrie was toastmaster and Mr. Ira Vcyhinger and Pres. V alter S. Kilpatrick spoke. Deris Wil- liams and Jean Ferguson delightfully enter- tained with music. A thrilling basketball game ended in a heartbreaking instance of history- repeating when we lost by one point. Friendly chats and dancing brought that evening to a close. 10. During the yeaT. two swimming parties were hold at the Y. M. C. A. pool in Springfield. Many of the students attended the parties, and all enjoyed this unusual pleasure. For days afterwards several of the girls seemed to talk of nothing but the handsome lifeguard at the pool, but whether he or the sport formed the groater attraction, we all hope for more parties of this sort. 11. The Y. W. St. Patrick's Buffet Luncheon on Mar. 17 attracted many townspeople as well as faculty and students of the college. The suc- cess of the Luncheon was due to the efficient planning and capable management of our Social Chairman, Helen O'Bryant. Elleanor Young handled the publicity aspect with green shamrock posters, and the gym was appro- priately decorated in green and white for the occasion by Laurel Diltz and her committee. 13. A bright highlight of the year wes the Spring Semi-Formal Dance sponsored by the Chi Sigma Phi Sorority, which was held Apr:: 11, at the Gym. The evening found many of the Alumni back to renew friendships and to dance to the music of Cedric Adcms and his orchestra from Springfield. The gym was beautifully decorated, and the evening is one which will long be remembered. 14. The Y. W. girls always look forward to the opportunity to entertain their mothers at the Mother-Daughter banquet which occurred this year on May 8. Our speaker was Chesta Fulmer, writer for the Dayton Herald. Orsadee Stewart presided, and introduced her cabinet as well as the officers for the next year to the mothers. Appropriate music was presented by the girls during the evening. 15. The Iunior-Sonior Banquet was held :r. Cedarville this year. A lovely dinner was servc?d at the Methodist Church by the church women, and enjoyed by members of the two classes ar.d their guests, and the faculty mem- bers and wives. After the banquet everyone who cared to. adjourned to the gym to spend Ihe evening dancing. A patriotic scheme was used for the decorations. Lee Miller, head of Junior Class, had charge of the arrangements for the evening. 12. The Freshman Class sponsored a Hay Ride for the whole college on Mar. 26. Fred Lewis drove the large tractor which drew two wagons full of riders over the picturesque roads back of Cedarville. An unfortunate adventure in Yellow Springs proved that Ed. Weddle who had been following in his private hay seed was, contrary to expectations, a sheep in wolfs clothing. and hero of the evening. 16. This yoar fiftoon students of the college faced the final test of their college education by tackling the difficult problem of practice teach- ing. Eight girls in the elementary field each taught two different subjects in the public school during the second semester. Some of the High School teachers taught during the first semester, and some during the second. Wo wish all of them all the success in the world next year. Ment u i There are many things which go to make up the definition of college life. Many never occur in the classroom or even in the buildings, yet they will become a desired part of our memories. In this ''Cedrus ' the staff has tried to present in a pleasant and interesting way many things which will, in the future, become memories. This year has been one of great importance in the lives of all of us. De- cember 7. 1941, ------War!!— Remember Pearl Harbor — V for Victory — All these and many more sayings bring us memories which we do not especially like, but which help us to realize the great task which lies before us. Some of us who eppear in the story presented by the Cedrus may never see the end of this conflict, yot we will retain memories and appear in the memories of many of you. There are many persons to whom credit is due for the success of this bock. Each member of the staff plays an important part by doing his assigned task, no matter how small and unimportant it may seem. There is much which goes on behind the scenes and v hich is never known, but which helps to complete the work successfully. Special credit should be given to throo persons who havo done a tre- mendous part of the work and who are comparatively unknown. Mr. William J. Freund, the representative of the Pontiac Engraving Co., who helped plan the book and then acted as general overseer till the completion of the iob. Mr. John A. West, the representative of the Greenfield Printing and Publish- ing Co., who also aided in the planning and gave many valuable suggestions as the work progressed. Our own Hal Guthrie, who acted as official photographer and took most of the pictures which appear in the book. Hal deserves much praise for his untiring eflcrts to do things which would make this annual more interesting. We must not forget, however, the persons whose advertisements appear in the Cedrus. They are in reality good friends v ho have given us aid and helped us to make possible this book. Thus have the combined efforts of many people gone to help give you memories which you will retain for many years to come.
