Cedarville College Memorabilia

CLASS OF ' 06. President. MILTON HANNA. Colors, Red and Wh;ie. In the lives of all great men there is always one event that is most memorable. So it is with the clas of 1906- the class noted for hard study and good grades. On the 11th of September 1900, eight of the brightest students that Cedarvill e Col– lege can ever boast of came into the building, and after listening to an address, and having had their lessons a signed, paid their tuition and went home a great d eal lighter.in pocket·book and heavier in mind. The next morning all repo rted to Prof. Jurkat and came ou t of the reci tati on room forty minutes later lo'.lki ng like nothing and nowhere to put it. Next we re– ported to "Deacon" George in th e General History class. Here we were favored with a very eloquent addres by Dr. McKinney, entitled "It's awful hard to say it." The Dr. really meant to convey some important truth concerning ancient history, hut he missed his mark slightly. And if be was as badly bored as he looked its no wonder he left before the hour was over. After two othe r recitations we finished our fir t day in college. The following days were all similar to the 1irst. Soon however one member dropped ou t and another one being tired of school and being entirely "mashed" on a certain young man, d ecided to change the monotony of af– fair and went away a "Chitty." Another member having tudied so hard that hi eye gave completely out, topped about a week before exams. It was reported that h e was threat ened with nervous prostration. Sometime after this the ne rvou strain proved too much for another one and he left and is attending the 0. S. U. At the beginning of the present school year ou r cla s was increa sed quite a good deal, both as to size and knowledge. A has ha been said before we are th e c lass of classes, noted for hard study and good grade . We do not claim to study ten hours every school day, all day Satur– day, and Sabbath, as a certain promising Sophomore claims to do. Neverthele we are more than "Speedy." A k all the Preps who stay out of chapel to look at the different grade books, how our grades stand. They will all t ell you that every thing in ight are tens, and all the rest are going to be. A k all the tudents what class i the brightest looking and hest heha-ved in college- Fresman.
