tracte L arvt baptist C olle ec e A In Wisdom's quiet dwelling place. We come with eager hearts to trace. The silver which we know is there. And hidden wealth beyond compare. We ask that we who have His call, Who know that Jesus paid it all, May own a deeper love toward men. For whom Christ died and rose again. WISDOM'S DWELLING Chorus: Our paths have led to Cedarville, Where we seek to do our Savior's will. We must impart the living Word, And rescue those who have not heard. Let us who have been amply fed, Provide a dying world with bread; O, let us be God's humble tool, That He may use us and our School. In Wisdom's dwelling, there is peace. And joyful anthems find release. Our hands are privileged to hold God's perfect jewels. His gleaming gold, The Savior's gems are ours to give. That lost impoverished souls may live, In Wisdom's Dwelling jewels abound, And Christ's unfailing grace is found. At the close of another year which has been fil- led with many bless- ings from the Lord, The Miracle Staff of 1955 invites you to join with us as we relive our memories of this happy time. f AJe ( t)edicate • • 5 5 'YY 4 jOuXL$-B -; -soLjLs jLxl O %UL (Bbjo . @1.

(Psalms 62:5) Since we believe God led in making Cedar- ville College a possibility for our own young people and we are conscious of the fact that He has preserved it as a testimony to Himself, all of us can repeat, My expectation is from Him. To the world it may seem an impossible thing for any people to build a school without the approval of certain educational societies, great religious organizations, and other man made systems. To the believer in Jesus Christ nothing is impossible when our expectation is from Him. We press forward in the work of Cedarville College conscious of two great facts. First of all, we know Satan will oppose us. Second, we know that God is for us. But with John the Apostle we say, Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. (I John 4:4) It is my prayer that we as faculty, trustees, and students alike may always keep 6ur eyes upon God and expect great things from Him. As the graduates of the class of 1955 leave our campus, we could wish nothing better for them than that which is expressed by Paul the Apostle for the Colossian Christians when he desired that they might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. As you face a world antagonistic to Christ, we continue by saying, That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. (Colossians 1:9-10) 6 The son of a Corning, New York farmer, Jeremiah worked on the farm in his youth. He received his early education by attending a one-roomed country school through the sixth grade; then, due to sickness and a death in the family, he moved with his parents to Johnson City, New York. In his senior year of high school, while visiting a friend, a faithful Sunday School teacher, Mr. Arket Savage invited him to Sunday School. During the lessons the kindly teacher continually spoke on God's word concerning a person's lost soul and need of Christ as Savior, which caused increasing conviction. Mr. Savage spoke to him about his soul but was stopped with the words, I'll come to you when I'm ready to be saved. He refused to make a decision immediately because he felt that he would be called to preach if he were saved. Finally, under deep conviction, he came to Mr. Savage and received Jesus Christ as personal Savior. After being graduated from high school in 1933, he enrolled at the Baptist Bible Seminary in Johnson City, where he met Ruby Lathrop of Springville, Pennsylvania. They were graduated in 1936 and were married the following October. Upon completion of extension work at the National Bible College at Wichita, Kansas, he was awarded the Bachelor of Theology Degree. An ordination council was held at the First Baptist Church of Johnson City during which he was ordained along with Bernard Bancroft, now a missionary to the Philip- pines, and Richard Teachot, missionary to Africa. His first pastorate was the Harmony Baptist Church, Panama, New York, a small town of 300, where from 1936 to 1939 he received valuable experience for future pastorates. He spent eleven years as pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Toledo, Ohio; then he became pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist Church, Dayton, Ohio, in 1950. God has richly blessed his ministry as a pastor, and his fifteen year's radio ministry. His service as a member of the Council of Fourteen for five years, Ohio Independent Baptist Council, and Mid-Missions Council has been faithful and has pro- vided him with a wealth of experience for his present position. While serving on the Board of Trus- __ tees of the Baptist Bible Institute, Cleve- land, Ohio, he was influential in acquiring the present campus and buildings which house the Cedarville Baptist College. His tireless efforts and valuable service as Vice President led to his being named President in 1954. May God continue to guide him in the heavy duties which lie ahead and may Jesus Christ receive the glory through his future ministry as President of our school. BOARD OF TRUSTEES SEATED. L. TOR.:H.

The girls all participate in crafts. Later on they will have group games as well as singing of fun songs and Gospel choruses. This organization, in activity, is much the same as Girl Scouts, but Pioneer Girls is centered around the Word of God. At the close of each meeting the girls come together for a time around the word when the leader of the group gives a message from the Word of God. The older group of boys meets each Saturday morning. The boys first have a time for sports and activities. After a time of fun together, the group leaders take charge of a time of study of the Word. Each meeting is closed with such a devotional period in order to give these boys the plan of salvation. The younger group of the Christian Service Brigade in Cedarville is held each Saturday afternoon. Above is pic- tured a group of the boys with their leaders, Harold Hukill (left) and John Surbaugh (right).

We looked into the future with only a small idea of what was in store for us, and also wondered who would help us when we needed advice or assistance, either spiritual or temporal. On registration day, September 13, 1952, we were directed into the Hough Avenue Bap- tist Church to the prayer room which served as a chapel for the students of B. B. I. Wc had to sign this and sign tnat and by the time we were through we felt we were quite capable of signing our own name to almost anything except a check. But then they sent us down to the senool office where we paid out our savings for such things as tuition, fees, books, and for room and board, or did we make arrangements to pay? The first year proceeded quite well. At our first class meeting we elected the officers who were to guide us for the year. These were the results: President--Nelson Collins; Vice-President--Paul Schenck; Secretary-Treasurer--Carol Wilson; Student Council Rep- resentatives--James Shaw and Clara Cutler. The Social Committee consisted of Russ Trufant (chairman), Alice Scoville, and Shirley Herrmann. Professor C. T. Butrin was our class advisor during the Freshman year. Following the election we were able to have a full count of the members of our class. We found we had a total of twenty-two members to start with and then seven new students joined us at the start of the second semester. Allow us to recall some fond memories of those days: the class parties; the Daily Do- nut Shop and its delicious sweets; those Wednesday mornings when Aunt Nel would have plenty of warm biscuits and applesauce ready for us. Seriously, though, we praise God for the sound, fundamental teachers we were per- mitted to sit underand to hear expound theWord to us. A storehouse of knowledge was presented to us for the taking. We also remember the news that Cedarvillc College would become our new home. With joyful hearts we acknowledged that God does answer prayer. As a class we were thankful to have two members in one of the two school quartets. These were Paul Schenck and Nelson Collins. It was with a full year of blessings behind us that we headed for home. Time flew by and before wc realized it, we were in Cedarville ready to start our Junior year. For a few days we spent spare time admiring the blessings God had bestowed upon us: commodious buildings and plenty of land. In a few days wc began classes and became acquainted with the new teachers. Soon we had our first class meeting to elect officers. The results were: President--Paul Schenck; Vice-President and Class Chaplain--Albert Yost; Secretary-Treasurer --Alice Scoville; Student Council Representatives--Jack Willetts and Carol Wilson; Social Chairman--Mary Spaulding. By request to the Executive Board we were able to retain our temporary ad- visor, Professor Robert Underwood, in permanent capacity. As a Junior class we also had charge of the Snack Shop set-up in the basement of the Administration Building. Barbara Ferry served as manager. Because we were Juniors we sponsored the Junior-Senior Banquet. It was held at Geyer's Restaurant in Xenia on May 7, 1954. The banquet theme was Christ Our Rock and the speaker of the evening was the Rev. C. L. Carden who brought a challenging message. This year we were privileged to hear the first baccalaureate sermon and to attend the first commencement of Cedarville Baptist College which was held on the college campus. Our summer passed too rapidly and here wc were back in school at Cedarville as Sen- iors. We had reached the last lap of our three year race. As in former years we chose officers for the year: President--Martin Edwards; Vice- President and Class Chaplain--Glenn Saunders; Secretary-Treasurer and alternate council member --Bernice Mick; Student Council Representatives --Alice Austin and Paul Schenck. The latter also served as Social Chairman of the class. Professor Robert Underwood re- mained as class advisor. As we observed the number from the original Freshman class of 1952 we found only six to be graduated. However, transfer students have raised the number of our class to nineteen. For this we praise God. As wc approached the end of our preliminary training and looked forward to commence- ment, we could look back and recall now our questions were answered by those who have guided us through these fruitful years. The members of our class, individually and collec- tively shall be indebted indeed to those persons who have helped us. Having completed our systematic study of God's word we have looked unto the fields of harvest and have awaited expectantly the directing of the Lord to the field He would have us serve. Psalms 126:3 expressed the thoughts of our hearts when we thought of our school life: The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. 104 n9u ScLoi St u dent A FRONT. L. TO R.: G.

Shirley Wolcott and Alice Austin were both the wives of traveling evangelists and had not been in any of the towns they had visited. Gordon Wimer had just returned for another term in Africa. To have missca him was indeed a disappointment. Though tired by their long travels and practically empty of purse both Bill and Merle were buoyed up by the joy of old friendship and acquaintance renewed.
