The Chi Mu Delta Fraternity is in one of its most prosperous and active years at Cedarville College. Officers were elected at the beginning of the school year and plans were made for the pledging of new members shortly thereafter. After a pledge period six new brothers were officially sworn in at a fete held in their honor at the Old Mill Camp on November 3. A Halloween party was the first social event provided by the fraternity for the en- tertainment of the entire student body. Dancing and cake walks were enjoyed and a new, popular recreation was introduced in the Hit Little Ernie game with Earnest Foster as the target. An effort was made to establish contact with fraternity members who have grad- uated and left Cedarville. To continue the relationship after school days, the fratern- ity initiated plans for purchasing or erect- ing a house. The house will provide a room- ing place for members in school and a meeting place for alumni who return to see the progress made by the fraternity and Cedarville College 20

Another organization to resume activity during the school year of 1947-48 is the Student Council. Each class elected repre- sentatives to the Council in September, of- ficers were picked, and plans for the annual Homecoming were begun. A parade, presen- tation of the queen and attendants at the Homecoming football game, and a semi- formal dance were sponsored by the Coun- cil for the day’s program. To determine the functions of typical student government groups, a survey was made of the work done by them in other Ohio colleges. One new responsibility ac- cepted by the Cedarville College Council was to sponsor each Monday’s assembly. A committee prepared a calendar of pro- grams to be presented by the student or- ganizations and the plan was followed suc- cessfully. The Student Council was also instrumental in reviving the Cedrus by poll- ing the student body for prospective pur- chasers. Carl Watkins served as president, William Troute as vice-president, and Mar- garet Sheley as secretary-treasurer. 22
