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. Psalm 126:3
