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

The state’s insignia, a keystone, has been selected as an emblem for fraternity pins.
