CEDRUS -19261 Senior Class History One morning in chapel, Dr. McChesney informed the students that the largest class in the history of the College would graduate this Spring—namely, the Class of '26. Is it possible that four long years have passed since we, as poor Freshmen, gave ourselves into the hands of the professors? Yes, and they have patiently and earnestly waited for the day when we would be delivered from their hands. During the four years, Tithe, in its own way, has made many changes in the class. Each year some dropped by the wayside, but we have kept the faith, and we are proud to say that the majority of the class are of the original number. We are modest in singing our own praises, but we will admit that we are unique and versatile. In all student activities,from Gospel teams to barbering for Freshmen, our members have been actively engaged. In our College song we sing,"At Cedarville College we get our athletes,' and the Seniors lead the ranks. Literary Societies, Y. W. C. A., Y. M. C. A., the Student Body Government and Cedrus Staff, all look to this class for leadership and guidance. As to scholarly attainments, our members have always ranked among the highest. Several members of the Crown Club are to be found in our ranks, and a number of instructors and assistants have been chosen from our class also. We have a record of having the first class feed of each year, and only once in the four years have our plans for a feed been thwarted. We remember with sorrow one night behind the old flour mill when our delicacies were consigned to a watery grave. That splash rings in our ears yet, but our motto is: "If we do not eat, no one else eats." However, the memories are sweet. Our pep is always evident. Many times we have been accused of lacking that dignity and nobility that befits Seniors, but cannot "Forget that we are Seniors to be thrown out, For we pass this way but once." Have we ever been tried and found wanting? Never! Have we ever missed anything? Impossible! Have we been essential to the life of the College? Yes, indeed! How will it exist without us? Well, that is for the Trustees and Fac ulty to worry about. Now Commencement Day draws near, and with it will come the usual joys and sorrows. We are waiting to hear all the nice things that will be said about us, and wonder what the theme of the eulogy will be. We are going into divers ways of life, and our interests will lie far apart; but we are sure we can all say with the poet: "From founts of dawn our joyous college days Have rippled like the brook right pleasantly Half-way to noon. But now with widening turn, makes pause In happy retrospection locked We backward look." Page Twenty-seven —W.E.S.

WILLARD BARLOW He plays well the violin and the piano, too; Accompanying (that certain party) he delights to do;, In fact, as is known all about, He's a "Normal musician" without a doubt. LORENA SHARPE Neat and trim, and quiet as can be, Opposite this verse her picture you see; She prepares her lessons from day to day, Now anyone knows that's the very best way. WARD CRESWELL If you're thinking of a fellow worth while, At the head of the list is Kitty. Always a greeting, ever a smile, And sayings both clever and witty. RUTH BURBICK 'Twas right after Xmas, when all o'er the plate, All were exchanging the news of late, They say it sparkels till it hurts your eye, On her returning next year we won't rely.

eEDRUS 1926 MARY TOWNSLEY Remember Shirley in our class play; How well she acted her part? But this same maid, we are afraid, Has serious trouble with her heart. ROBERT TURNBULL "Why can't they keep away from me?" Bob pled; "Why do they love me so?" Dear boy! each handsome actor, until dead, Must pay that price, you know. ELIZABETH CRESWELL A better cook you never knew, Those that equal her are few. At spreads and feeds she is always there, And you can count on the bill-o'-fare. LLOYD McCAMPBELL Into our ranks on last September Came a new and much-needed member. Into our class so big,so great, We're glad you're here, though you came late. ISABEL CLARKE We have never asked her to do a favor But what she'd do it and never waver. In one more year she'll be out in the strife, Just the same she'll tackle the big things of life.

A good scholar, a willing worker, and a true friend, Are her characteristics, we recommend. DAY KENNEDY Down the line of world-wide teachers Those who heard the Master's call, Some day on that list of preachers, Days own name shall lead them all. VERNA BOASE Verna Boase to her college is true, She will ever stand by the Orange and Blue; She works with a will and works for the right;' In doing her best, she takes great delight. HAROLD HUSTON In a world that's mixed up sadly, We find men short and lean and tall; Here's a "wee" one needed badly On the diamond. Boys, play ball!

CEDRUS 1926 Junior Class History CEDARVILLE, OHIO, April 7, 1926. DEAR READER: We do not wonder that you are so interested in the Junior Class. We are always glad to have folks ask about us. Our class is really delightful, you know. Maybe we can tell you just a little concerning it. There are twenty-seven members in our class and we are all striving for a well-balanced education. In athletics we are well represented on each of the first teams; and for the last two years we have been winners in the class tournaments. On the religious side of our college life we are represented on both the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W.C. A. cabinets. Our class parties are filled with wholesome fun. We have had jolly times together this year at the oyster supper at the home of Willard Barlow,the Valentine party at Robert Turnbull's, and the "feed" at Ward Creswell's. "The Lion and the Mouse," the Junior play, was said to have been one of the best college plays given in Cedarville. All the parts were well acted, and the play was well received.. Don't you think we deserve honorable mention? We do. We really don't want to give you the wrong impression of us—but we are a splendid group of boys and girls, and we will always be true to dear old Cedarville College and loyal to the class of the Crimson and the Gray. Sincerely yours, Page Thirty-five "JUNIOR CLASS."

eEDRUS-1926 Sophomore Class History for 1925-26 Who did it? Naturally there is only one answer to such a question at Cedarville College, and that answer is, The Sophomores! Last year we laid the foundations for a great class, and, true to all plans, that class has made their appearance in every activity of the College. Class rooms, sports, spreads, literary societies, Y. M. and Y. W. officers and members, assistants to The Cedrus staff; in fact, in everything that is progressive there will be found the necessary quota of Sophomores. They simply cannot do without us, and it is no more than fair to admit that we cannot do without these various activities, for the Sophomores of to-day gained their reputation last year as a progressive class, and it would be impossible to fail now. The class, though not as large as last year, has maintained its standing in the line of athletics. The football team gained their Captain and quarter from our ranks, as well as one tackle, two ends, the center of Wilmington fame, and the flash fullback, "Son of Old Man Adaih." Not bad, considering that this is only our second year at Cedarville. The basketball team, of course, was well sprinkled with Sophomores,five men from the first eight being recruited from the versatile ranks of the Sophs, and doing their share in bringing the team through with flying colors. The girls' team, as well as the boys, had to have some from our class; so two centers, a forward, and guard were elected to represent the Sophomores in this line of athletics. Baseball was not slighted, for the team needed a-couple of good pitchers and a good catcher,to say nothing of other places filled, to insure a winning season. We neglect no field of endeavor, as witness the results of the interclass tournament, the boys taking first place and the girls sec- nd. Every collage needs a cheer leader; so, naturally, one of our cla s stepped into that position when Mr. Markle left us. We shine in the class room as well. A Sophomore always has his best foot forward; consequently you see us at the head of our various classes, to say nothing of instructors and assistants who spring from our ranks. Professor Smith might give us a recommendation (?) as the hope and despair of his English classes. Considering the time we are forced to spend in the various college activities, it is nothing short of marvelous that we rank so well in the class room; but, then, considering the exceptional qualities of our class, nothing else could be expected. But, enough of commonplace things that everyone knows would conic from such a class. Let us bring forth celebrities that are confined to Sophomores and to that class alone. First, we have the only man who was ever married while still a student at Cedarville. No small honor, that. Again, two of Cedarville's big business men are members of our class (names on request). A basketball referee noted for his honesty and squareness claims the honor of being one of us. Two Assistant Scout Masters of the local troop, one Sabbath School Superintendent, and the head of the local Reformed Presbyterian Christian Endeavor Soc iety, come from this illustrious group. All of which goes to prove that a class must be interested in its town and churches before it can lay claim to true greatness! Frankly, we ask you Classes of '26, 27, 29, did you excel us?

CEDRUS-1926 Freshman Class History It is a famous date in the history of old Cedarville College, that day in early September,when an eager band of Freshmen, with high hopes and lofty ambitions, entered the portals of College Hall upon a life whose pathways are paved with the joys and trials that only a Freshman can know. Our first opinions of the professors were favorable, though in some cases they became rather doubtful when we received our first lesson assignments. All in all, though, we decided to remain a while and give them a trial. The upper classmen gave us a hearty welcome and introduced us immediately to college activities, even including in their hospitality free hair-cuts to several masculine members of our class. Thus far in our checkered career there are some events which are stamped indelibly upon the memory of this class. Among our joys we count the first Freshman watermelon feed, which was a success, excepting for the slight interference of the upper classmen,who expected to share in the refreshments, but were disappointed. Then there was the feed given at the Anderson home, where we were royally entertained without the aid of our college superiors, who by this time had learned the folly of attempting to direct Freshman affairs. Finally, traditional enmities were so far forgotten that on the evening of February 10, a "Froshmore" frolic and spread was staged, and if we remember correctly, we caught a string of suckers. Our trials have been many and varied; for example, the shock and sorrows of the expected quiz given at the unexpected time, and the heartlessness of the Faculty's decision that we observe class-cuts, and examination rules; but the joyous days far outweigh these few unhappy hours. Our class has given of her talent in all College activities, and several whose names are enrolled in her list, are recognized and honored upon the gridiron and on the basketball floor. Since that memorable first day we have welcomed some new members to our ranks and to a few have sadly bidden farewell. Though our number be large or small, we have stood, and shall always stand, for loyalty to the Orange and the Blue; and with these colors we shall write our history of achievements during the next three years.

CEDRUS -1926 Green County Normal CLASS HISTORY In the Autumn of 1925, just as the leaves were decking themselves with beautiful colors, the doors of the Green County Normal School opened, calling together twelve women and two young men,from various parts of Ohio, to be enrolled as Normal students. Although our tasks have been hard, we have enjoyed many good times together. After class one day, we were walking down through the campus, and all of a sudden we heard a chattering up in a tree. We looked and saw a squirrel building its nest. Someone spoke, and the squirrel dropped a piece of paper which Miss Koehler had lost, reading: "The Characteristics of My Class." We feel that she would have others see us as she does, and this will reveal to you a secret: NEDRA WILSON, Clifton, Ohio "Wilson" So cunning and shy, Always gives a glance To all who pass by. GLADYS McCOY, Jamestown, "Kid" When music is sought, Takes her "Uke" And is there on the dot. KATHERINE HUGHES, Cedarville, 0. "Kitty" Our basketball star, Never wanders from Doc's So very far. PAULINE NASH,Xenia, Ohio "Polly" So independent and gay Is found with Bill Most all of the day. DOROTHY LACKEY, Xenia, Ohio "Dot" Is rather easily'vexed, But is never attracted By the opposite sex. CLARA WOODMAN,Dayton, Ohio "Woody" Our Beaver Creek lass Is never absent From her class. OREN TURNER,New Burlington,Ohio "Turner" So artistic and neat, The whole school term Did not complete. MARY ATER, Xenia, Ohio "Shorty" So jolly and free In (Noble) company Likes to be. Ohio DAN AULTMAN, Xenia, "Dan" Our only man Often takes us downtown In his Ford Sedan. LUCILLE GARRINGER,Jamestown,0. "Garry" Our studious lass, Always remembers The assignment to ask. VELDA BEAL, Xenia, Ohio "Izzy" So easy to please To the entrance of learning Holds all the keys.

The Seminary is endeavoring to set forth Jesus Christ in such a way that its students will be well prepared for their tasks as preachers and pastors. Dr. IcChesney, the Dean, teaches Systematic Theology, Greek and Apologetics. Dr. F. A. Jurkat deals with Church History, Hebrew, and Classical Greek. Rev. B. E. Robison has charge of the work in Bible, Archaeology, and Pastoral Theology. Rev. W.P. Harriman is Professor of Homiletics, and Biblical Theology. The organization of a Seminary Club, for the purpose of Christian fellowship, earnest study, and practical usefulness, with D. D. Dutton as President, and Day Kennedy as Secretary, is a systematical criterion of the interest of the men in their work. —C.T. W. __, , 1 — Page Fifty-five K - \\ _
f;CEDRUS -1926 Department of Music "Which of the powers may lift man to the highest plane, love or music? That is a problem. But it seems one might say, love cannot give us an idea of music, while music expresses love. But why separate the one from the other? Are they not the two wings of the soul?"—Berlioz. The status of music in education has changed radically in the past few decades. Until quite recently it was looked upon as a pleasant accomplishment, with little practical value. But now music is coming into its own. Educators everywhere are realizing its splendid disciplinary value as well as its practical and aesthetic worth. At the present time a college without a course in music is greatly handicapped. Although Cedarville is small, it is making a splendid attempt to give music its rightful place. The Department of Music has been growing steadily and has a present enrollment of forty-nine. The efficient professor of this department is J. A. Talcott, Mus. Doc. Dr. Talcott is a graduate of the Cleveland Piano School, the Georgia School of Technology, and the Royal College of Organists, of London, England. He has also studied voice under Charles S. Burnham, and choir direction under J. Powell Jones, of Wales. Dr. Talcott offers courses in Piano, Organ, Voice, Harmony, and History of Music. During the past year special instruction has also been given on the Saxophone, and Clarinet. A course in Violin is offered by Marion Frock, of Springfield. In order that Dr. Talcott may be able to give more time to his advanced students, and to other work in Cedarville. and the neighboring communities, he is assisted in the primary teaching by Miss Mae McKay,a student in the College. The studio is located in the rear of the College Library Building. Here the instructibn in music is given privately in thirty- or forty-minute periods. All students are expected to appear in a public recital, usually given during Commencement Week. In addition, concerts are often given by the advanced students at the close of the Fall Term. When the required work has been completed, the pupil receives a diploma of graduation from the department. The College encourages work in music by allowing eight hours as electives for the A.B. degree. Most of the pupils are studying music merely for their own enjoyment. Keeping this in mind, the department endeavors to ground all students in the technique of music, and to instil real musical interpretation; it endeavors to train students to receive the inspiration that comes from music, and the kindred arts, and to be able to appreciate the classical gems, and the masters in music. —M.D. Page Fifty-six
EDRUS -.1926 Bits of Harmony and Discord THE COLLEGE CHOIR Anyone knowing of a baton not in use, kindly notify Prof. H. H. Smith. Nothing else is lacking to make him a real musical director. Great commendation is due Prof. Smith for his efforts in organizing a college choir. Although the choirhas not had regular practice, it has furnished appropriate music for the Bible Reading Contest, the Day of Prayer, and special chapel services. Music occupies anincreasingly important place in religious worship;therefore we hope our choir may continue, and become a permanent college institution. Two interesting musical productions were given this year. The Y. W. C. A. presented "The King of Glory," a sacred service, on the evening af December 21. On February 24 the M. E. Young Ladies give an operetta, "The Feast of the Red Corn," in which the leading roles were taken by college girls. RADIO BROADCASTING "This is Station WRAV broadcasting the regular Wednesday evening program." So far nothing startling. But listen! "The next feature on the evening's program will be a group of Christmas carols, to be sung by the Misses Johnson, Burns, Iliffe, and Burhick, pupils of Dr. Talcott." Then we were thrilled as we heard the voices of our own C. C. girls. Luther's "Cradle Hymn" was sung by Ruth Burbick, and then followed several carols by the quartet. To many of us the program was a prophecy of the future before Cedarville talent. MUSICAL TRADITIONS Miss Koehler is not all stern practicality. Quite often she forgets the problems of a teacher and suggests delightful plans for C. C. One of the best of these was the idea of singing Christmas carols around a lighted cedar on the campus. Had not the Faculty unexpectedly given us an extra day of vacation, this plan would have been carried into action. But why not look forward to this next year and make it a college tradition? Other colleges have annual "sings," either at holiday or commencement time, and our campus would furnish an ideal setting for such an affair. Speaking of musical traditions, does not Cedarville College need a Glee Club or Choral Society? Such societies are vital parts of most colleges. They give excellent musical training and enjoyment, and rest overtaxed minds, as well as advertise the college. What achievement could be more worthy than the founding of a musical club that would last down through the years? • • At least one member of the College Faculty is musically inclined, as the Observation Class will testify. Well do we remember the morning we plodded through the pouring rain to seveno'clock class, only to discover that Prof. Smith had not yet returned from "Rose-Marie." Oh, well, it was a fine production, and we don't blame him; also, Carl Shanks urges that we do not be too stern in condemning the professor. Page Fifty-seven —M.D.

fg OEDRUS -1926 Student Body Government Harold P. Myers President Day Kennedy Vice President June Thompson Secretary Ruth Burbick Treasurer Robert Choate Cheer Leader In May, 1925, the 1925-26 officers of the student body were elected to their respective positions, and will serve until May,1926, when the 1926-27 officers will be selected. At the beginning of the First Semester, the Faculty permitted the student body the privilege of using the College Chapel,for meetings,on Thursday evenings. The purpose of this arrangement was to allow the students more time for their meetings. Before this time the meetings had been held after the chapel hour, and they interrupted the class schedule. At the last September meeting of the students, it was decided that the football squad needed new blankets badly, and that the student body should raise funds to purchase these blankets. In less than a week's time the students and Faculty had donated sufficient money to purchase fifteen blankets, and these were duly presented to a very grateful team. Cedarville College was represented at the Students' World Court Conference held at Princeton College, Princeton, N. J., in December, 1925. Mr. LaClede Markle, an alumnus,served us in that capacity. —H.M. Page Sixty-one

L —L— 4, Editor's Note The editing of a small college annual is, indeed, a task of no small degree. . This year's Editor was very fortunate, however, in having a competent and efficient staff, to co-operate with him. For the most part, the staff members were new in their respective positions, but they soon acquainted themselves with the mysteries of this work, and went at their various tasks with determination. The 1926 Cedrus is the result of their efforts. We are very grateful to Prof. H. H.Smith,the Faculty Adviser, for his valuable assistance throughout the year; also, to the various students and professors who have contributed articles and helped us in other respects. This book is of the College, and its pages were inspired by devotion to our institution. It is meant to portray another year, full of labor, sport, friendship, and love, for you to keep fresh in your memory during the years to come, by turning its pages. If you can thus recall the many happy hours spent at old C.C. in 1925-26, our task is well done, and we shall feel amply repaid for our efforts. —Harold P. Myers. Page Sixty-three _
CEDRUS"1926 Philadelphian Literary Society OFFICERS Treasurer Carl Shanks Elizabeth Barnett President Secretary Robert Choate Ruth Collins Vice President "We must be loyal to a trust, act promptly, concentrate our energies, do the thing—Carry a Message to Garcia." —Elbert Hubbard. In the above statement lies the secret of the success of the Philadelphian Literary Society in the past year. The society has been decidedly successful, even though not as large in numbers as last year. We feel that the contact and practical experience gained, both from hearing the various programs and appearing on them, has been, and will continue to be, of greatest value. The effort is being constantly made at Cedarville College, by all those who are connected with it, to improve any branch of endeavor in which they may be interested, and the Literary Societies have not proven exceptions to this rule. The talents of the students of Cedarville are many,and we believe that Hubbard's Message to Garcia has been of greatest help in bringing them to light this year. Some difficulty was experienced at the beginning of the year in reorganizing, due to the loss of the greater number of officers of the preceding year. After a short time new officers were elected, and plans were laid for the coming semesters. No doubt it would be of interest to those who are not familiar with the work Page Sixty-four
EDRUS"1926 we have been doing to learn of the various plans which have proven so successful. The keynote to it all has been the idea of giving something at each meeting that would be of service to the hearers. Thus originated the plan of reviewing the life and works of some classical author or poet at each meeting. (This plan has been more than worthy of the effort expended to make it possible, as proven by the interest taken, and thg praise,given this particular phase of the work.) Another series of articles which aroused much favorable comment were the ones prepared and delivered by Professor Smith's South American History Class on South America. The Philadelphian Literary Society has always been noted for the originality of its members, and this has been aptly proven in the short-story contest, which took place early in the year. Musical numbers are welcome wherever a group of students are gathered together, and we have been exceptionally fortunatein that line, an extensive and varied program having been one of the chief attractions throughout the year. Another plan which promises to be of more than common interest is the reviewing each meeting of the hobby of some one of the members. Though the main idea throughout the year has been to give practical benefit, the lighter side has not been neglected, and many amusing sketches and dialogues have been given from time to time. We believe that the societies are improving from year to year, and feel safe in saying that this year's work in the Philadelphian Hall has poven a success in every way. An appreciation of literature, music, and art is needed by everyone, and any work which gives this to us necessarily ranks high. In the years to come, Philadelphians, let us make every effort to improve our society and ever keep in mind the "Message to Garcia." —R.C. Page Sixty-five
