THE MIRACLE CEDARVILLE COLLEGE Cedarville, Ohio liWL FOREWORD On the pages of this book is written the story of one of the happiest years of our lives. The Miracle Staff of 1956 invites you to join us in reliving these experiences. As you delve through the pages, may your enjoyment equal ours. DEDIUTIOI We, the Senior Class, wish to dedicate this Miracle , 1956, to Mr. George S. Milner, Chairman of the Board of Trus- tees of Cedarville College. Mr. Milner has been very generous and faithful in his work on behalf of our school. As Paul exhorted the Corin- thians, Be ye steadfast, un- moveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord --so has Mr. Milner been toward us, truly, a servant of the Lord in our midst. As we view our school's progress, we are constantly reminded of how much we owe him for his in- terest and love for the work of the Lord in Cedarville. Forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord , so God will reward you. However, may this dedication be recognized as a small outward expression of the gratitude which fills our hearts. Please accept our thanks, Mr. Milner. The Senior Class, in particular, along with the student body and faculty of Cedarville College thanks you. May God grant that as you see the students of Cedarville College used in His service, you may rejoice because of your share in the molding of their lives, giving all glory to our God and Saviour. President James T. Jeremiah Many times each year we hear our students quote the promise found in Proverbs 3:5-6, Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own under- standing. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. As the class of 1956 shall leave the classroom and enter the field of service, there will be additional reasons why the conditions of this verse should be met. Unanticipated problems will confront them. These difficulties will be of such a nature that each one will be forced to confide in the Lord with all his heart because his own under- standing, or intelligence, will not be enough to help him surmount the obstacles which lie across hi s pathway. As we approach the end of the age we should, expect greater opposition to those who hold the Truth, but we should expect likewise that the God who saved us by His grace will guide us by His Spirit. While warning Timothy of the evils of apostasy, Paul urged him to do the work of an evangelist. As dark as the night may become a true believer has no reason to walk in any other than a path made plain when he trusts in the Lord, and in ail his ways acknowl- edges Him. Someone has summed up the truth of this text by saying, Implicit trust brings infallible guidance. No one on earth can boast of human infallibility but every heaven-born soul can know the will of God for his life. He can live so that looking back over the years there will be no regrets of spiritual bruises suffered because he has fallen on therocksof disobedience, delusion, and defeat. It is the prayer of each one who has had a part in our education, that every member of the class of 1956 will both believe and experience the truths stated in the great text. As you leave Cedarville College pray that all of us who remain may have infallible guidance through implicit trust. 6 REGISTRAR and DEOS Prof. Robert Wallace Registrar Prof. John Stoll Acting Academic Dean Prof. Arthur Williams Dean of Students E x e E 0 e m l) II T I I T i t n LEFT TO RIGHT: George S.

Dale Thomson Margaret Spaulding . Geraldine White . . . Leon Franck The history of the class of 1956 is relatively peculiar, at least in its early days. Our class, as such, really had its beginning in the fall of 1953 when God wondrously opened Cedarville College to us. In our first year at Cedarville, when we should have been classed rightfully as Sophomores, all of us were either Freshmen or Juniors. There was no organized Sophomore Class. For this reason all who had transferred from other colleges were automatically placed in the Junior Class. In the fall of 1954 we were first actually organized as the Junior Class. After finding all our members the organization proceeded. Officers elected were: President--Dale Thomson; Vice-President--Leon Franck; Secretary--Geraldine White; Treasurer--A1 Yost; Chaplain-- David Gardner. Serving as our Faculty Advisor was Professor John Reno whom we all grew to love in the Lord as the year progressed. A class project was the management of the Snak Shak in the basement of the Adminis- tration Building. The purpose was to raise funds for other class needs but chiefly for the largest one: The Junior-Senior Banquet. This became a reality on the evening of May 6, 1955 when we presented the Seniors with their banquet. The theme was I am Alpha and Omega. This was the high-spot of the year although other events are objects of fond memories: the class parties, the Senior's giving us the slip, the gingerbread and whipped cream at the re- sulting party, and many times of serious fellowship together. Time passed all too quickly and before we knew it summer had come. But it was quickly followed by the fall and our final year together. Our number had dwindled to only twelve. For varied reasons several of our former members had remained in the Junior Class or had left school. We began the year with keen prospects and with a new Advisor, Prof. John Stoll. Our officers chosen for our last year were: President--David Gardner; Vice-President--Dale Thompson; Sccrctary--Margaret Spaulding; Treasurer--Geraldine White; Chaplain--Leon Franck; Social Chairman-- Wanda Panter; Student Council Representatives--Sam Hornbrook and Joan Gardner. Our first objective was the completion of a successful sneak and this occurred on the morning of January 12. As the Juniors helplessly watched, we left for a day of fun. Fond mem- ories of this day will linger long. Soon afterward, Margaret Spaulding left us since she had some former training in Cleveland and had fulfilled the graduation requirements. With our college days at Cedarville behind and with the prospects of a God-directed future before us, we, the Class of 1956, take our leave of Cedarville College. We shall never forget the days God permitted us to spend here among other Christian men and women, the deep Chris tian friendships we have formed, and the sincere spiritual growth we have attained. May God deeply inplant the words of our class verse upon our hearts as we go on to further service for Him: The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

MST WILL Ml) TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class, leave to the Juniors our ability to get away on Senior Sneak Day--you'll need it. We, the Senior Class, leave to the Sophomores our ability to catch the Seniors just like we did. (?) We, the Senior Class, leave all the happy memories of our days in Cedarville to the Freshmen. We, the Senior Class, leave to the faculty our deepest appreciation for grading on the curve. We, the Seniov Class, leave to Cedarville College our heart- felt thanks for making it possible for us to get a good education. I, Leon Franck, will my thoroughness in collecting garbage and waxing floors to Mr. Marshall's new assistant. I, Roger Ames, will my butch hair cut to Al Yost. I, Bill Brown, will my ability to sit on the bench to Byron Cute- nose Schumaker. — I, Barbara Ferry, will my ability to be independent and nosey to Evelyn Sarver. I, Dale Thomson, will my speed on the basketball floor to Professor Wyland. I, Wanda Panter, will my ability to make straight A's to Dumb Eldon. I, Gerry White, will my long dark wavy locks to Peg Walker. I, Sam Hornbrook, will my mechanical ability to anyone willing to take care of the school Carry-all. I, Ellen Hornbrook, will my well-plowed bean patch to Bill Al- bright's girl friend, Sandy. I, Margaret Spaulding will all my filing experience to the Adminis- tration Building office staff. I, Virginia Stubbs, will my initiative to all the married men who are on probation. I, Joan Gardner, will my ability to prepare for pop quizzes to all of Professor Wyland's nervous students. 1, Dave Gardner, will all my Watkins pills and liniments to Doc Williams. Looking to the future we'll try to catch a glimpse Of what our dear seniors will be doing ten years hence. First we'll come back to this little town of Cedarville And see if there are any hanging around here still. We find to our surprize that there are two right here on campus One who is directly connected with the classes. Dale Thompson is now one of our coaches Replacing Mr. Underwood who has retired to the benches. The other one around here is our own Leon Franck The pastor of the church here on campus is his rank. Leaving this small town we will try to trace Where the rest of this fine class is in life's mad race. One girl we've been wondering about is Barbara Ferry Has she had any success in catching a man to marry? We are then directed to a mansion with good air And find that she has landed a good looking millionaire. Looking a little farther we find the house of Gerry White What's this? It sounds like inside there is a fight. But looking on inside we find happily instead She's lived up to her word having an orphanage like she said. Next we turn our attention to Mr. Roger Ames Through these ten years what has been his gain? You say he is in France, why what is he doing? Oh, the life of an interpreter is what he is pursuing. Coming to our memories now arc Dave and Joan Gardner We wonder what they're doing, they're living in what manner? Oh yes, now we remember, they're on the mission field indeed And it's an extra big one for they've a dozen mouths to feed. We had another married couple with us that year Sam and Ellen Hornbrook, where will they appear? We find he has a gas station, not to our surprise And Ellen's staying home, her job, to keep him alive. For the next of our dear seniors we look out of the country We come to Ginny Stubbs and listen to her story. She is back in India with the people that she loves Following the call of our wonderful Lord above. Miss Wanda Panter is the next girl on the list Is it still Miss Wanda or has she dropped the Miss ? Yes, she's another lucky one and finally came through She couldn't let Barb beat her; got herself a man, too. Our little Margaret Spaulding is whom we're trying to find What kind of a gift has she offered to mankind? She is still her same sweet self: we'd want her no other way She's still living at home as she was back in our day. Now don't get me wrong--I'm not saying that it's hopeless But it seems our Lord can use her better as a Miss. The last one we come to is big Bill Brown He'8 a typical professor: upon his face a frown. He's doing very well in a well known college Giving to his students the best of his knowledge. We have now traced this fine senior class And think they've done quite well from the first until the last. 0 VS Ray Bartholomew Elyria, Ohio Eliado Bolanos Callao, Peru Dale H.

The intra-mural program is based on a desire to develop the com- petitive spirit, along with a strong, healthy, well-co-ordinated body. Our intercollegiate program is designed to develop a cooperative as well as competitive spirit among our young men and a testimony for our Lord in the sphere of competitive athletics. The athletic program at Cedarville College will certainly cease to exist when these things are not present in our athletic program.

The social committee seeks to give the students a well-rounded life by planning a social event for each Friday night. These events in- clude class parties, all-school parties sponsored by the individual classes, formal banquets, men's and women's open-house, musical programs, and intra-mural sports. A dual purpose is served by these social activities. They give the students a change from the weekly academic program, and these social events are a means in helping the students to plan and conduct programs and to perform in public. The social life is a very important part of our school curriculum, and it is an aspect of our school program that aids our students in becoming better Christian leaders.

Its foremost objective is to proclaim the Gospel of Christ to the lost and to promote the spiritual growth of fellow believers. This service is of particular benefit to the members of the student bodywho, as they go forth preaching and teaching the Word of God, receive prac- tical training for the ministry, missionary service, and other fields of Christian activity.
