1919 Cedrus Yearbook

19 Y. W.C. A. 19 HE Y.W.C. A. has had an unusually successful year. Regular meetings have been held every Wednesday morning at the chapel hour, and these meetings have been well attended. Interest and enthusiasm have been kept up throughout the year, because all the girls have been loyal and faithful in attendance and in active work. In February, the girls entcrtaincd the boys of the Y. M. C. A. with a valentine party in the gymnasium. A jolly, romping time was enjoyed by all, after which lunch was served. We were exceedingly fortunate this year in receiving a visit from Miss Freda Klenk, a student secretary of the Ohio and West Virginia Division. She spent two days with us, conducting cabinet and group meetings, and these meetings were sources of real inspiration. Many valuable suggestions were given us, and same may have far-reaching results. In April, the Y. W. C. A. presented a forty-dollar scholarship to the college. The girls then got busy preparing for the annual spring entertainment which was given in the Opera House, the latter part of May, and this program proved to be one of the best ever produced. We are glad to be a part of this world organization, and we feel that it will go on through the years, ever prospering and gaining in influence and power. We are grateful that we, as the Cedarville College girls, can do our part, even though small, in helping such a wonderfully successful cause. Y. M.C. A. T IS evident in this Christian college that the Y. M. C. A. is an essential organization. As necessary as are the churches of this town to the community, just so necessary is this organization to the work of this Christian college. Although our present association does not measure up to the one hundred per cent efficiency standard, yet we in no way can realize what a help it is in keeping up the spiritual side of our school life. Last fall our association greatly felt the death of the president, Paul Ellwood, and a shadow of grief has been hovering over the societywhich has not as yet been lifted. Meetings are held every Wednesday in which each member is given the opportunity to take some active part. The greatest lesson which we learn is that of standing up and speaking for the Master. Every man coming to Cedarville finds himself immediately among Christian men whose sympathy, help, and encouragement are some of the assets of every new Christian student. Officers: President, S. Morton Creswell; Vice-President, J. Edwin Bradfute;Secretary, D. Harold Hammond;Treasurer, Ralph L. Rife. 51
