Happy associations come to our minds as we think of the pleasant times we have had in this building; true we might have intended to look up references, but many were the occasions when we grouped ourselves around a table and conversed.

The CEDRUS 1924 The Faculty An Appreciation T IS AN OLD SAYING,"that a prophet is not without honor save in his own country,"—yet this statement requires an exception in order that the rule may be accepted as proven. We have living exceptions to the rule in the Faculty of Cedarville College: There is probably no profession that is less appreciated by society at large than the teaching profession. Nor is there any profession that requires greater understanding of human nature, and especially of the problems of youth, than that of the teacher. Next to the home, there is no institution which has a greater effect and great, er responsibility upon the moulding of character, and the complete developement of the individual, into an upright, self-supporting, law-abiding citizen, than the school and college. Yet it is the nature of youth to resent any form of discipline, in which the immediate ends are not seen. Often the most vivid recollections of youth are of the time when we were able to "put it over" on the professor. We fail to call to mind the times when sympathy, understanding and aid were extended to us by the same professor. It is usually not until years afterward that we fully appreciate their aid. But that is youth—impulsive, forgetful, unappreciative youth. The faculty of a college have an especially heavy responsibility in the guiding of youth at the period when decisions in the selection of careers are being made. It is in this Way that the faculty of a small college renders its greatest service to society. In addition it renders greater service to its small classes than thOse of larger institutions. Mere "hearers" of classes are to he found almost any place, but it would be a rare thing to find another such sympathetic, helpful and understanding group of professors as we have in Cedarville College. It is our hope that through these pages we may express our appreciation of the Faculty, which is headed by a man known far and wide for his kindness, helpfulness and devotion to Cedarville College and its Student Body, Dr. McChesney.

The CEDRUS 1924 Faculty of Thirty Years •••••••••••••••••••••••• I THE MEETING of the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, held in Coulterville, Ill, on May 18, 1894, Cedarville College was launched with Rev. David McKinney, D. D. as President. Rev. McKinney served in that capacity for twenty-one years and is now Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Cincinnati. During his presidency College Hall was erected and the Alford Memorial Gymnasium, and Carnegie .ibrary we.e donated. At that time the college endowment was $80,000 but since his presidency the endowment has been increased to $140,000, and a new Science Hall has been erected. The opening date was Sept. 19, 1894 when thirty-slx students came for instruction, in the home now occupied by C. Stuckey. • Rev. J. F. Morton, D. D. was chosen Vice President and Professor of English Bible. Rev. W. R. McChesney, D. D. was elected to the chair of Ancient Languages, and began his work for the college July 10, 1894. He served as Secretary to the Faculty, and Vice President until June 1915, when upon the resignation of Dr. McKinney, Dr. W. R. McChesney I was chosen as the new President. The remainder of the first faculty consisted of Frank H. Dean, Professor of Science, an.d English; Carrie Blair, Professor of Mathematics; and Belle Beazell, Professor of Music. Professor F. A. Jurkat came the next year, serving as Professor, Ass't. Treasurer, and Treasurer, and has remained with the college for the full twenty-nine years. Cedarville College has always been noted for its exceptional English teachers, although some of them have only stayed a short time. The various English Professors included Frank Dean, Charles Schenck, Edith Morris, Mary Erwin, D. C. Campbell, Mrs. Llewellyn (nee Eleanor Holliday), Miss Eddy, Mrs. Leigh Alexander (Miss Ritchie), Agnes Jean Smith, Mrs. Ankeny (Margaret Schneider), Mrs. Dwight. McKune (Ethel Brand), and Miss Annie Tinker. The Science Department has been composed of the following teaching staff: Mr. J. R. Fitzpatrick, Leroy Lanning, Superintendent L. D. Parker, Millicent Hathaway. Mrs. George Blough (Katherine Flory), and M. L. Frazer. This department often furnished the mathematics teacher also. The various directors of music have consisted of Belle Beazel, Mrs. Russel, Mrs. Davis (Florence Russel), Miss Emma Snow, and Professor Talcott, wha has taken special training in England. A new phase of work was installed in the College, through the medium of the Department of Education, established in 1915. As this is still the youngest department of the institution the faculty thus far has been, Judge S. C. Wright, Oscar Wesley, R. S. McIlhenny, and Miss Florence Somers. Professor Leroy Allen, who was closely affiliated with the College from 1906 until 1922, was the first Dean, and many students who wore the Orange and Blue counted him as one of their strongest friends and closest companions. He has been ably succeeded by Professor B. E. Robison, the Dean of Men, and Miss Florence Somers, the Dean of Women. To the many former students and alumni who read this year-book commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of Cedarville College, both fond remembrances and stirring experiences will be recalled by the mention of the above names. As we think of the Faculty of Thirty Years, our hearts go out especially to Professor Jurkai, ever a staunch pillar, and to our beloved and,honored President—Dr. W. R. McChesney, who have remained with the institution through all the trials and glorious triumphs of its history. • hyalso, I Twenty
AMP The CEDRUS 1924 •••••••••• Treasurer, Hazel Williams Secretary, Grace Lyle Vice President, Charles Townsley President, Donald Wickerham Senior Class History 1-US IS THE YEAR of nineteen hundred and twenty-four. To many it is the same as any other year, but for one group of people, at least, it is different from all other years. This group is the Senii)rs of Cedarville College. After these many years in school we will leave in the spring and enter upon the next stage of our career, the school of life. All of you know the Senior Class individually. The class is not large, some fifteen members, but the quality of its members makes up for the lack of quantity. If you know the individuals you know the high scholarship standard maintained by them all. Let us peep into the inner workings during the four "long years"—No! short years—which measure the life of the class. First we started to College, as all students should, in the year nineteen hundred and twenty. Were we good, non-grpen and studious? Well, we were ,in the usual way. We had our feeds and good times and not once were they broken up or any food confiscated by the upper classmen. Strange to say, we were destined to go through four years without ever losing a feed. We felt that we had a fairly successful year because of the fact that for many years every Freshman Class spread had been broken up and the feed take /1# • Twenty-two
The CEDRUS 1924 en, but we broke the record by coming through the fray safely and with our "eats." Like all infants we were frightened by the dignified aspect of our Pr ofessors. This soon wore off when we learned that they were human beings ju st like the other persons. So ended the Freshman year and we were happy when we foun d ourselves on the same plane with the people who were so very careful not to le t us forget that we were Freshmen. As Sophomores we first noticed that the greenness was coming out of us when Jim Waite wore a green cap which faded on his head. We started the year right by getting the Freshmen's ice cream at their feed. We also had o ur feeds at the usual places. At Harper Bicketts' home we did not lose any eats bu t we lost a Ford. However, Bicketts had a good supply of Fords and brought us bac k to town. Our class was well represented in all activities during this winter. Bill R iddle was elected captain of the football team, we were represented in the college play, a number of our members were on the basket-ball teams. During this time the "class of twenty-four" was marching ahead, making marks for itself, and sett ing records in Cedarville College. On a whole, it was a very successful year and when w e left in the spring for our summer vacations we felt that we had made good pr ogress toward our goal. It was fine to come back as Juniors in the fall. We held several more feeds at the Bickett home but did not lose anything. We had a number of enjoyable feeds at the homes of other members of the class. Two main events of the Junior year were most prominent: namely, the Junior Play, and the Junior-Senior banquet. The play was successful. Each member of the cast played his part well. The Junior-Senior banquet was held in the Community Hall and was a pleasant o ccasion Several of our members were missing when the Senior year opened. Several were attending Ohio State and will graduate with us in the spring. One of ou r number had decided during the summer that he would leave the state of single bliss and proceededto get married. We now have a married man as President of th e class. This being our Senior year, it was one of hard work for all. Several were teaching in the Preparatory Department and the Editor-in-Chief of the Ccdrus ha d his hands full. The mid-year examinations are over and we have taken our last exams under the professors that we have learned to esteem and love because they have helped us so much through the four years. Soon the time will roll around and we will receive our degrees and then we will be ready for life's duties as far as our Alma Mater is able to prepare us. It is with a stout heart that we all face life thankful that we have been permitted to attend a college which has trained us physically, inte llectually, morally and spiritually. /k/s - . II • •I1M.

It was not so very long ago for we are only Juniors now. Truly, that was our first taste of college life and most assuredly we were favorably impressed. As Freshmen we took on new courage and began to realize our responsibilities. Of course our Freshman life was not all work and no play; for we did have an occasional "feed." At least once we felt so sorry for the upper classmen we almost fed them, but our men had been so well trained in football that they were strong enough to prevent such a catastrophe. Speaking of sports, the college would go begging were it not for the captains, managers, halfbacks, quarterbacks, etc which our class so ably supplies. As "Sophs" we were not so great in number, but we still had the "quality." We were well represented on the Cedrus Staff and in the college play. We were at the front in pestering the Seniors when they had their "feeds." We will say that they were blessed with "Angel Cooks"' Since time never ceases to fly, we suddenly found ourselves Juniors. Sad to relate, our ranks were greatly depleted by this time, for many answered the call for teachers. Never will we forget our "steak roast" at Larry's cabin, or the "chicken feed" at Lois', but these are only two of the many bright spots in our Junior life. Naturally we hesitate to "laud our praises to the skies," but we are so proud of our Juniors that we want others to know and appreciate us. Our highest aim is to do the best we can for our college, with the hope that she will give of her best1( in return. t. P. C. -5) vvir Thirty-two

The CEDRUS 1924 .1.1•••••••••••••• •••••N President Harold Ray Treasurer Donald Funk Secretary June Tompson Vice-President Dick Cooper Sophomore Class History HE SOPHOMORES of '24 were first hailed in Sept. 1923, and ever since that memorable date the other classes have been aware of our presence. For one short year (for unlike ordinary Freshmen, we thot it short) we were often tortured by having the name "Freshie" hurled at us from all sides. It was yet while early in our youth that we were 'nitiated into the cruelties of the upper classmen by their attempt to break up a well formulated spread. It is needless to recall the result of that unfortunate affair to those of us who were left behind. Spring came and we bade adieu to the name.of 'Freshman' forever, and we eagerly awaited the day when we should be christened 'Sophomores'. At last after a long wait the Fall Semester of the year 1923,1924 came and we celebrated by having the first spread of the season and getting away with it. This was quite a shock to the other classes, but we were always noted for our surprises. The class has always been famous for the men it furnished in athletics. We are living up to our reputation this year. In Football we furnished a number, in Basketball we have representatives on the squad and the Captain of the Girls' Team, June Thompson, is a member of this class. Our members are always in demand as officers of the various organizations of the school. When the Cedrus Play was given three members of this. class were chosen in the cast: Dick Cooper, Betty Gifford and Harold Ray. We do not wish to boast of ourselves for our loyalty to the College far exceeds class loyalty; we are boosting the spirit of the College by helping to build up Cedarville. . B.

Oh, pardon me! Of course it needs no introduction! By its deeds it has already made itself so prominent that no one but an ignoramus would venture to introduce it. Altho only Freshies, the members of this class have distinguished themselves (if Freshies can do such a thing) in all activities of the College. But to begin at the beginning. We entered College in September imbued (as Freshics usually are) with the firm determination to study, and at the same time to have our names carved high on the honor roll of Cedarville College fame. It was a dark and gloomy day when we first saw the famous halls of the College. When we arrived that morning we did not know where to go and after chasing around the building we were finally herded into the chapel like a hunch of sheep. There we had our first glimpse of our professors and were given some idea of the lessons which we would have the rest of the year. When there is time to spare from our studies we enter enthusiastically into every phase of college life. In the athletic line this class has done much considering its age; it has contributed not only quantity but quality. We refer you to the pictures of the teams in this volume of the Cedrus. This class supplied many of the cast for the college play,"The Importance of Being Earnest," and also for the Cedrus play,"The Wrong Mr. Wright." The class had its first social stunt by taking a ride on a truck. Most of the upper classmen followed us and seemed to have a very good time, lacking only one thing—refreshments. Chagrined by this, they brought back to town several samples of Freshmen hair to adorn Doc's window. ) Just when we thought that we were getting along wonderfully and that every one had forgotten that we were Freshmen, the upper classmen kindly informed us that the boys were to wear caps of college colors with a green button on them, and the girls were to wear the college ribbons, In no better way could the college colors have been honored than by permitting us to wear them. There you have the story of the class of '27. If you are willing to concede that we arc "some" class—all right; if you are just a bit skeptical—just watch us and we will show you that we are a class of which Cedarville College may well be proud.

The CEDRUS 1924 !MAW Green County Normal HE YEAR 1923•1924 marked the beginning of the Greene County Normal School at Cedarville. The College kindly offered the use of a room on themain floor of the Administration Building in which to conduct it. This was accepted as a suitable place. This has proven a great advantage to the Normal School because it enables the students to come in close contact with the college life, and associate with the college students. This is something that one does not find in many Normal Schools. Here the Normal students are considered and treated the same as Freshmen of theCollege. It also gives them the opportunity to attend chapel services. The Cedarville School is situated across the street from the campus. This also serves as an advantage to the students. It enables them to do their practice teaching and observation close to their boarding places. In 1111, way they are not to any extra expense. The establishers of this Normal School have been governed in their choice of 'material and methods of treatment by the needs of the rural teacher of today. The purpose of this Normal is to prepare teachers who will turn the drudgery of the rural school life into pleasant and interesting work. Everything that is essential for the preparation of a rural elementary teacher is given. Not only themethods of teaching are taught, but also a course in every elementary subject, including music and industrial art. This enables the student to have a good control of the subject matter before he begins his profession of teaching. Thirty-six hours of observation are required. At the end of the course the student is given a one year teacher's certificate. At the beginning of the first year nineteen students enrolled, eighteen girls and one boy. The class had the misfortune of losing two members, but those remaining worked diligently through the course. This school was very fortunate in securing a most efficient teacher, Miss Susanne M. Koehler, of Columbus, Ohio: In the month of December Mr. Eswine from Columbus gave this class a very interesting course in Nature Study and Agriculture. In March the class was fortunate in observing Miss Morrow's and Miss Elliott's reading in the primary grades. Although the Greene County Normal is rather unfortunate in having a green name, it is very evident that this does not seriously handicap it in any way. WI C • :34 7->4. N._ \At \V‘ dr 1, Forty-two

The CEDRUS 1924 Department of Music S YOU APPROACH the College Library, and raise your eyes to thc window at the right of the entrance, you will sec the sign DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC; then when you are ransacking the shelves for a book to read, perhaps you will hear the melodious strains of a Bach Invention or Beethoven Sonata coming from the studio in the rear; and you will realize that Cedarville College does have a Department of Music. This Department was established several years ago; and since that time it has been slowly, but constantly, growing. Already plans are being made for improvements tO be instituted next year. The Department of Music is conducted under the very efficient instruction of Professor J. A. Talcott, M. A. Professor Talcott is a graduate of the Cleveland Piano School, the Georgia School of Technology, and the Royal College of Organists at London. He has also studied voice under Charles S. Burnham, and choir direction under J. Powell Jones of Wales. During the past year Prof. Talcott has offered courses in piano, organ, voice, and harmony. A course in violin will be added whenever the demand for it is sufficient to secure the services of a teacher from Springfield. In the past the instruction has all been given individually in half-hour lessons; but in the future the work in harmony will be class work taught by thc lecture method. The work for each course is mapped out, and when the course is completed a diploma of graduation is given. A public recital is held every June to demonstrate the work of the Department and to give the pupils training in public appearance. The College encourages work in music by allowing a total of eight credits in music to count towards the electives in the Art Curriculum . This year thirty-six pupils have enjoyed the instruction in the various courses. The students come from the public schools, high school, college and community. More pupils are expected next year and arrangements are being made to accomodate them. In addition to the regular work, the Department has given a course in Public School Music to the students of the Greene County Normal. A new feature for the coming year is to be the advanced department. The work in the past has been mainly primary and intermediate. Now pupils of ability will be encouraged to continue their work in the new department. Professor Talcott will devote more of his time to advanced work, and will be assisted in the primary teaching by some of the older music students. A great improvement was made this year when the studio was moved from the Administration Building to the Library. The present studio is larger and much more convenient and attractive. However, we are all looking forward to the day when the Music Department will have more students and instructors, several studios, and practice rooms for the out-of-town students; and when Music will be a benefit recognized by more students.

The CEDRUS 1924 Cedarville Theological Seminary ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Cedarville Seminary is a term revered by all who know its true worth. It would be futile to attempt in this limited space a systematic analysis of its comprehensive work. We all seem to have the tendency at times of desiring deeper spiritual insight into the things of spiritual discernment, but we do not always know the preferable trend of investigation to secure this desired information. This our Seminary strives to supply. Cedarville Theological Seminary has chosen a distinctive channel of activity, and in abbreviating that plan we would sum up the kernel into one comprehensive whole: we believe there is a possibility of the loving and true God as revealed in Jesus Christ. To provide the means of laying hold of this possibility is the function of our Seminary. Sometimes under its tutelage we are led into the field of profound scientific investigation; sometimes into the realm of reconstructing the thought of former divines; again into the mental struggle of translating from the original the thoughts of the Patriarchs, or Apostles of Jesus. All this we count joy, to be able to say: we know not all, but a little more and with it to realize that to know more is to love more. We have a staff of professors of which we are justly proud; Dr. W.R. McChesney, Dean, associated with him, Dr. F. A. Jurkat, Rev. B. E. Robison, Rev. W. P. Harriman. These men are all of high character and intellect. To any who may read and be considering the course we take special delight, after five years personal experience, in recommending Cedarville Theological Seminary as sound, scholarly, spiritual, and profoundly interested in the work of the Kingdom. //i9 h • /OW IA" — - _ .......................01.1.111.................••••••.0.••••••••••••••••••••••••••....• N.M./MP G.

The CEDRUS 1924 Athletic Review ITH THE FOOT-BALL and basket-ball seasons at Cedarville over and prospects of a good base-ball season in sight, we can safely make the statement that the athletic seasons of 1923-1924 at Cedarville have been the most successful, financially, in the history of the College. Although there may be a small deficit, it will not be as great as in former seasons. From the standpoint Of games won, the foot-ball season was an unsuccessful one indeed. One game won on the entire schedule. At the first of the season with over two teams in uniform( on the gridiron things looked well for a very successful season. However, before the season was well under way the squad had dwindled until at times it was hard for the coach to get a full team for practice. Lack of observance of training rules was also in evidence, as our team on several occasions played their opponents to a stand-still the first part of the game, but were not able to stand the pace the second half. In the first game with Antioch, ten days after the opening of school, it was lack of sufficient time for conditioning and not because the boys did not try their best. They out-played Antioch in all departments of the game the first half, but were completely worn out at the close of the third quarter. In other games later on in the season the fellows showed lack of interest and fight. An "Oh, what is the use" attitude. We have men with the ability to put out a winning team. To make a winning team the men must appear daily for practice; observe training rules; have the support and proper co-operation of the Faculty and Student Body. The same can be said of the boys basket-ball season that has been said of the foot-ball. Lack of faithful practice; lack of co-operation among players and with the coach; no observance of training rules. The final game with Antioch was one of the bright spots. In that game the boys demonstrated what they could do with co-operation among themselves and the backing of the students and community. With such playing throughout the season the scores would have been quite different. Again in the Defiance game at Dayton with the score 19 to 9 against them at the end of the first half, the boys came back with the old determination and won the game 25 to 23. That's the kind of spirit we want at all times. The girls' basket-ball team is a different story. From the standpoint of number of games won, in the number of girls who daily appeared for practice, and, in the splendid spirit of co-operation among the girls on the squad and toward the coach, the season has certainly not been a failure, but a credit to the girls themselves as well as to the College. They won a majority of the games scheduled; taking two from Wittenberg and two from Wilmington; losing two to the Antioch girls by small scores. Hurrah for the girls! Just one qther athletic activity needs to be mentioned. The tennis club hopes to put a team on the court to contest nearby colleges. Heretofore they have had tournaments among the members, only with an elimination contest, the winner of which receives a prize. We wish the new venture success. ///470 y(f)ZfkiA, — — - •%11 L.) —s4 Forty-eight
The CEDRUS 1924 1923 Football Review EDARVILLE COLLEGE received its first taste of football in 1921. Finding that the taste only made a desire for more we have continued every year since.• The team that went on the field this year is the third team to he put on the field. Each year the main difficulty has been to get enough out to practice and it is the sincere hope that the coming team will not he handicapped by this trouble. When Coach Talcott first called practice, on Sept. 12, about thirty men of various abilities answered, and donned thirty football suits in preparation for the initial struggle with Antioch. The team had only eight practices, and comparitively few scrimmages, before they had to journey to Antioch. The game was hard fought and earlyin the game Markle made a touchdown. This made us very enthusiastic ' and we were in great spirits. Luck was with Antioch and, due to a fumble, they scored. Antioch was completely outclassed in every respect but scoring. The next game was with Findlay, and was played on our gridiron. The teams battled in the middle of the field, hack and forth they struggled. Our team •Nlo. •••• Forty-nine

By this time the team was in better shape and was able to put up a hard fight. The team spent the next week in hard work, anticipating the mill with Earlham at Richmond. Earlham, with a heavier team, was unable to gain on line plays, and both teams resorted to aerial attack. We managed to give Earlham the scare of their lives, and lost by a 7 to 14 score. Going next to Rio Grande, a game fight was put up, with the scoring advantage on our side at the end of the first half. Rio Grande, however, came out victors.

Antioch was taught several pointers when they played the home game. At Capitol the team came out of their trance the third quarter and played football, but were unable to beat Capitol. The season has taught us very forcibly, that a winning team cannot be placed on the field without co-operation, hard work, and skill. The latter will usually care for itself if the other two requisites are emphasized enough, not by a few but by all. No team however good, can play football without being in absolutely perfect physical condition. This condition is best fostered by keeping training rules. While not winning a majority of games, football in Cedarville College in 1923 was a success, for success is counted, not in the number of games won, or in score alone, but in growth of spirit, in the good to the individual, and in the good to the college as a whole. Let's make 1924 a banner football year! It can be done!

The CEDRUS 1924 Boys' Basket Ball LAYING a brand of ball unsurpassed at times by none; yet failing at other times to work as an organized unit, this year's Basket Ball Team passes Into history. We have made a name for ourselves, outdoing many previous teams in some respects, although losing' several games in our schedule. "A good beginning makes a bad ending," is the popular saying but let us wait and see. On the 6th of December our boys met Springfield Business College on the local court, and won the opening game of the season by a decisive score. Though yet in the early stages of development our players showed ability and the promise of being a winning team. The following Tuesday we journeyed to Sabina and in the last minute of play we were still leading by one point. The ball was still in the air as the final whistle sounded, only to drop through our opponents' basket on its downward swoop. This was bitter but the luck was against us so we made the best of the bargain we were able. The week-end was spent in Columbus. During this time we dropped two games; one to Capitol University, another to Bliss Business College. These were exceedingly fast teams so we did not let the defeats worry us. Following this, we met the more experienced quintette from Wilmington College on the home floor. Our team played a good game in the first half but they weakened in the last part of the game. During our Christmas vacation, when we were feeling fine after receiving our gifts, we met the team from Defiance College and vanquished them. The game was played on a neutral floor in Dayton. The game was one of the most spectacular of the season. Trailing by a score of 23 to 9 during the second half and then winning out in an overtime period furnishes a contest replete with thrills and surprises. Following this game our team met with a series of five reverses. Webster was on the sick list for three weeks. The student body was in despair and we thought that some evil spirit was certainly following us, as we would lose by provoking scores. The Jinx was trailing us in the first half of the game we played •at Antioch, we just couldn't hit the basket. The second half ,was a battle from start to finish, but the lead was too large to overcome. Wilmington, Bliss, Babbs, and Ashland each captured a game at our expense. We failed to live up to the adage quoted in the beginning of this review for which we are very thankful. The first victim of our rejuvenated team was Babbs from Xenia. The one to follow was the Y. M. C. A. aggregation from Washington. By this time we were again encouraged, and as the last game of the season rolled around we hoped to beat our old rival—Antioch. At last the evening came and we went to the/ 4 Gym hoping against hope that the score would be large for us. By the time the boys game was called the enthusiasm of the crowd was unsurpassed. The game started,, \v‘ _ Fifty-two

With such an ending of the season the hopes for a good team next year are high. Let us make the year to come one of the most successful in the history of Cedarville College.

The CEDRUS 1924 Girls' Basket Ball EDARVILLE COLLEGE may justly be proud of her girls' basket ball squad this year. During the season, we have played eleven games and have received the laurels of victory seven times. Although we were unable to deal Antioch a defeat this year, we made the game quite interesting for them, the final score being 16 to 15. We succeeded in handing both the Quaker and Lutheran Maids a double defeat this season. The disappointment resulting from the cancelling of Rio Grande's game by mistake was great but slightly appeased by the trip to Columbus. Perhaps you will be allowed your trip to Rio Grande next year, girls. Our prospects and hopcs for a team that will never taste defeat next year are high. Our squad of this year with its star guards, excelling forwards and efficient centers, along with the peppy subs and other candidates, will he ready to fight for the Orange and Blue with even more vim and vigor than this year. Let us give nine big Rahs for the winning team of Cedarville in '23 and '24. 1-1. W. f Fifty-four

The CEDRUS 1924 Cedarville College Y. W.C.A. HE Y. W.C. A. MEANS MUCH in the life of a college girl. It is one of the bright spots in her life that she wishes to remember. It is very often in this organization that many real and lasting friendships are formed; that a girl learns the priceless worth of having and being a true friend. Then,too, if it is a progressive organization, it is in conection with the Y. W.C. A. that a girl has her best times. Still more important is the Christian atmosphere that we find among the Y. W.C. A. girls. For is it not the real purpose after all, to create in the girls a true Christian spirit? The Y. W.C. A. has always been a very active agency in Cedarville College despite the small membership. The work was rather hampered this year because there was an entirely new Cabinet; naturally there was much to learn concerning the direction and administration of the organization. However every one worked hard and, along with the earnest co-operation of the girls, accomplished many worth while things. Under the supervision of the Undergraduate Representative a Freshman SubCabinet was formed. This was for the purpose of training Freshmen girls for work )in the main Cabinet. Of course, to carry on work effectively, money is very necessary. One of the chief plans for raising money is the Annual Tag Day. This is one of the big events of the Y. W.C. A. year. At Thanksgiving time it is the annual custom for the Y. W. C. A. to give baskets of food to the needy of the town. It is true that this is only a small fraction of the work of the Y. W.C. A., yet it is a little insight into the purpose and value of the organization. It is believed that every girl in Cedarville College considers it not only a pleasure but a privilege to belong to the Y. W.C. A. ollt -----,•vv,40 .41twr 11:4 :It— .1.1.1• rm. Fifty-eight
