WOMEN'S BIBLE CONTEST

The Women's Bible Reading Contest was held

Sabbath evening, March 29, 1936, in the United

Presbyterian Church. This contest is sponsored by

Miss Margaret B. Rife, an alumna of Cedarville

College. This contest is an annual event and is

always anticipated by the girls of the college.

The Mixed Chorus, directed by Mrs. Margaret

J. Work, and accompanied by Miss Dorotha Corry,

furnished the music.

The contest was a close one this year and the

winners are as follows: first prize, a tie, Majel Por-

ter and Christine Tobias; second prize, Gladys

Bumgarner; third prize, Betty Fisher, and fourth

prize, Rachel Creswell.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY

The annual Junior Class Play was presented the

fifth of March in the Cedarville Opera House. The

Play, "Forever True," was presented by a cast con-

sisting of Ruth Kimble, Esther Waddle, Dorothy

Anderson, Betty Fisher, John Richards, Gale Ross,

John Tobias, and Paul Angell. Miss Glenna Basore

ably directed the play.

The plot centers around a family of wealthy

Americans whose son married an Irish girl, bringing

her to America to live with his family. The mother

was very jealous and systematically began her at-

tack to drive the girl away. This was done and the

Play jumps to the present, and the daughter takes

the stage. She is brought from Ireland by friends

of the family and tries her best to win the heart

of her father. An aunt who makes her home with

the father tries to do to the daughter just what the

mother did before her. In this she was foiled by

the faithful Irish butler, and the story ended hap-

ly for all. The Junior class is grateful to Miss

Basore without whom the play could not have been

a success.

METHODIST PARTY

The Epworth League of the Methodist Church

delightfully entertained the students and faculty of

Cedarville College at a leap year party in the Al-

ford Memorial Gymnasium on March 17, 1936.

The party began with a grand march, followed

by musical and folk games of European and Ameri-

can origin. Refreshments following the St. Pat-

rick's Day color scheme were served.

A Friendship Prayer Circle, during which the

group sang "Follow the Gleam" and observed a

few moments of silent prayer, completed the eve-

ning's entertainment.

FRESHMAN WEEK

People walking backwards, girls without make-up,

boys with make-up, a strange vision of the future?

No! Just Freshman Week at Cedarville College.

It seemed to many Freshmen the requirements

were endless. Many rather timid Freshmen studi-

ously memorized their duties for each day. We

had to bow to every upper classman. Woe to

them that refused! We had to wear clothes back-

wards, wear shoes that weren't mates and do many

other humiliating things. However, most Freshmen

secretly enjoyed themselves during this week.

Many boys had romantic moonlight hikes during

this time—but by themselves.

The climax of the week came on Thursday. At

this time the girls had the task of scrubbing a

wheelbarrow full of mud off the college steps. The

boys had the pleasant experience of running around

the baseball diamond while the Sophomore boys

applied their belts most advantageously.

Then came the tug-of-war. This was held at Wil-

low Bend. The Freshman boys had an invigorating

swim.

A snake dance over town and a huge bonfire on

the college campus closed Freshman Week for

another year. The Freshmen were now a full-

fledged part of the Student Body.
