CEDRUS FOREWORD WE seek life before us, unfolding its many allurments, influences and enjoyments. We wander into unknown and unheralded realms. This has been so in our college regime and it shall be so in our life to come. We are merely controlled by a higher element, playing our role in life. We need guidance of a good, moral, Christian nature. These guiding influences take many forms not recognizable at times. We are thankful for these guiding principles, one of which is our dear school which boosts us upward. We shall try to portray for your approval some of the life existing around us which creates our very dear memories and guides us toward our goal. Vtour

CEDRUS The Faculty WHAT we are we owe, in a large part, to our faithful and understanding faculty. Likening our school to a large family our faculty may be compared to parents, teaching, guiding, and .keeping a kind and faithful arm around us. We wish to take this place to say what is in our hearts about our beloved faculty and to thank them for all they have made us. Dr. McChesney, president of our college, has been the untiring father of Cedarville College since 1894. He has created in the hearts of hundreds of Cedarville College students the ideals of a loving kindness, wisdom, and a creative nature. Dr. Jurkat, the treasurer of our little family, has been another one of our goals toward which to aim. As professor of history and German we have learned to love and reverence his ability and knowledge. Dean Steele has been our adviser for two of the five years he has been with us. Every year has brought to us a warmer place in our hearts for him. An understanding nature and a smile for everyone. Professor of Bible and Sociology. Dean Angevine, professor of English and Latin, has been our mother for two years and has guided us over many rough spots. We wish to extend to her all of the good wishes of the Student body. Professor Hostetler, a man of extensive and unlimited ability. A director in the Educational Department and a man whose influence is state wide. Professor Kuehrmann has built up the Science Department greatly. He is head of the Department of Science and a capable, likeable man. Professor Davis, head of the Department of Mathematics, has added much to not only this department but to the welfare and work of the entire College. Miss Berkley, head of the Department of Music, is to be greatly commended for her untiring efforts and her progress with this department. Her perseverance and ability has made our music department a leader among many of the larger colleges. Mrs. Corry, assistant in the Department of Music, is also an able and energetic music instructor as well as being an active member of those who influence the community musically. Coach Borst, Spanish instructor and Coach of our College, should be very highly commended upon his achievements in sports in the past years. He has done much to further the progress of Cedarville College and also to elevate the standards of Athletics in Cedarville College. He has spread Cedarville College's name through many of the large schools of Ohio and he has given us a high type of sportsmanship for an aim. Miss Wolfe, who is a new member of our happy family, has gained the respect Twenty-one
CEDRUS and love of the student body in the short time she has been with us. She is quiet and reserved, but let us not forget, "still water runs deep." And now let us look at our faculty as a whole. We ask you confidentially: have you ever seen any other faculty which have the quality and class that ours has. May God always provide for Cedarville College, the quality of faculty members which have been provided in the past five years. We express our gratitude to you faculty. We love you, every one of you and we wish you luck. Twenty-two

C E D R U S Junior Class Robert Wilson President Edward Irons Vice President Martha Waddle Secretary and Treasurer Rachel Daulthet Business Manager JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY /T seems altogether fitting that since we are nearing the sunset of our college days we should review some of the gallant deeds done by our members. In the fall of 1928 we embarked upon our voyage. We were properly initiated by the upper-classmen, and thanks to them some of our boys received free haircuts. We had two delightful feeds with the remainder of the student body joining to make it a grand success. Most of these freshmen returned in 1929 and had a very prosperous year. We try to neglect no field of endeavor. We have maintained our standing in the line of athletics. Some of the flashiest members of the squad were found from our ranks. The girls went out for basketball and glee club gained a name for themselves in both places. In classrooms, sports, literary activities, spreads, and various organizations you will find the necessary quota of Juniors. Every college needs a cheerleader and one of our rank naturally stepped into that position. Then we also shine in the classroom. In scholastic standing the Juniors hold their own. This year we laid the foundation for a great class, and true to all plans, our class has made its appearance in every activity of the college. On the eighth of April we presented the play "Old Lady 31." Now we are planning to entertain the Seniors in a royal manner. We have just one more year in which to gain greater fame. If our crew all pulls together there is no limit to the heights we can attain. R. D. Thirt y-sir

CEDRUS WE take great pride in our athletic teams. We take pride in them not because of their victories but because of their spirit and type of play. Nowhere in the state of Ohio will you find a better spirited, cleaner group of athletes than you will find in Cedarville College. Our school does not engage in "tramp athletes" and there is no compensation whatever other than the love of the games and the enjoyment received from going out there and putting our heart out for old C. C. With this idea in mind we do fight our heads off to win. And we do it in the attitude which is found predominant throughout the whole college. The attitude of fairness. The question is, who creates this attitude and spirit in athletics? The answer is, our coach. Coach Borst cannot be given too much praise for his never-ending work and success with the athletic teams. When you think of our athletic department, we ask you to please stop and consider just how much in debt we are to our coach. Let us all stand and give "Pops" a great big hand. Fifty-six

Football Review THE Cedarville College football team experienced a successful season, although winning only one game and tying another. The team was scrappy at times and at other times played listless football but most of the time the boys made touchdowns difficult if not hard for the opposing team to get. They were out there doing their best which is all that can be asked of anybody. Considering the schools we met, their size and their superior numbers, and Lady Luck, Cedarville experienced a successful season. Our team played practically the.same class of schools as last year. Two Ohio Conference teams, Cincinnati University and Otterbein, Wilmington, Urbana Junior College, Rio Grande and Morehead State at Morehead, Kentucky, were played. The scores on the average were smaller than those of last year indicating a somewhat better team. This was to be expected as we lost only two members from last year's squad. The opening game with Cincinnati was quite different from last year. Our boys were playing their first game of the season, practically their first hard scrimmage. So we lost 46 to 0. Quite different from the score of 19 to 0 of last year.
CEDRUS At Otterbein, Cedarville actually met the proverbial "steam roller." The entire line averaged well over 200 pounds, the tackles weighing 245 and 250. Even so, our boys held them to one touchdown in the first half. The final score was 25 to 0. • Our first home game was with Urbana Junior College. Urbana scored first and it looked for awhile like Cedarville would not score at all, but in the last half a punt was blocked and the fellows converted it into a touchdown in a few plays. The goal was missed and we had to be content with a tie score 6 to 6. The return game at Urbana ended 12 to 0 in their favor. Wilmington defeated us twice, the first time 20 to 0 and the second 12 to 7. The high spot of the season was the victory over Rio Grande, there. The last time Cedarville played football there the score was—painful to recall. But we got partial revenge by defeating them 34 to 0. If the team had been feeling as good and working so well together in some of the other games as they did in this one more would have been won. The season closed with a game at Morehead, Kentucky. After the long trip the boys could not seem to pull together and play ball SO we lost 7 to 0. When schools we played found out we had an enrollment of only 75 or 80 they shrugged their shoulders as if to say, "Here is another easy victory." Before the smoke of the battle cleared away they usually changed their opinion of our school and our boys. We may be small in numbers but when it comes to fighting there are very few who can beat us.

CEDRUS Basketball Review 1930-1931 pROSPECTS for the season of 1930-31 were bright when the season started. With the return of nearly all of last year's squad and the addition of new material C.C. expected to experience the best season in the history of the College. Playing some of the foremost teams near our size in our state we did very well to win five victories. We lost a game to the University of Dayton and the Homecoming game to Antioch by one point and two points respectively. Several other games would have been won if everyone had been at his best. But no ball club can be "hot" all the time. The season opened with the first seven games being lost. Then it seemed as if we might be going good as we won the next two games from Urbana and the return game with the University of Dayton. However the next two games were dropped by decisive scores. We won from Wilberforce here in a fast and furious game, 31-30, and from Antioch, there, 31-26. Only one game was won the rest of the season and that from Urbana, there. The crowds attending the games were small and consequently very little money
CEDRUS was made this year. The students and people of the community must take more interest in basketball if it is to be a financial success. Cedarville College has a team nearly every year which any school of three or four hundred students would be proud to support and it is up to the students to see that the team is backed to the limit. The prospects for next year are not very bright as we lost Wendall and 'Walter Boyer, Alfred Townsley, Albert Turner and Robert Collins by graduation. But we have excellent Sophomore and Junior material to step in and take their places. We must take this opportunity to thank Coach Borst and the squad for their faithful and successful upholding of Cedarville College's honor and name on the hardwood courts of Ohio and the neighboring states. These men have always been clean and fair players upholding Cedarville College's name and traditions wherever they played ball. We wish the squad and Coach Borst the very best luck in their next year's basketball season and may they spread the name and fame of Cedarville wherever Collegiate basketball is played. J. C. S.

CEDRUS Baseball Review of'30 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE can well be proud of the record her boys made on the baseball diamond last year. At the end of the season there were seven scores in the winning column for the Cedarville team and this far surpasses any baseball record made in recent years. We more than broke even with our three neighboring rivals, Antioch, Wilmington and Wilberforce, and even held our own with the larger schools such as Dayton University. We lost a heartbreaker to Dayton to the tune of 5-2. Our boys outhit Dayton and outpitched Dayton, but one costly error and the breaks enabled Dayton to nose us out. Perhaps we would have had a couple more games in the winning column if the umpires had seen things as they really were, but you just ask Rife and Boyer about that, they know the inside dope. The hardest blow our team received was the loss of our new pitcher Garlow for the first month because of a rather serious automobile accident. But before the season was over Preston made a great comeback and pitched some fine ball. One of the high spots of the season was the defeat of the Ohio State Reserves. Sixty-fins
CEDRUS They returned to Columbus a far less "cocky" bunch than arrived here for the game and realizing that at least occasionally they play some real baseball at Cedarville. One of the closest and most exciting games was with the heavy hitting Wilberforce team. Our boys went down to Wilberforce and not only held them even as far as fielding and pitching are concerned, for we pride ourselves on our defensive work, but we also outhit this powerful crew and brought home the winning baseball. Our closersitval, Antioch, fell before our team and last but not least, Wilmington was actually defeated by Cedarville, and it was done fairly and squarely, too, although Wilmington tried to make some new rules in the last couple of innings, but the umpires were wise to their tactics and it availed them nothing. Perhaps this will break the long spell that Wilmington has held seemingly over all athletic teams representing Cedarville. The only Senior we lose by graduation is Paul Tanner our right-fielder, so at present with at least eight veterans remaining it looks as though Cedarville College should have a banner year in baseball for 1931, and I think everyone will join me in saying that we are truly proud of the 1930 record and now look forward with great hopes and aspirations for the coming year. B. T. Good-bye "Pops" THERE are seven members of the Athletic teams who graduate from the halls of old C. C. this year and we wish to take this time and space for these seven Seniors to say good-bye. Four long years ago we started together, playing, fighting, endeavoring to put Cedarville College Athletics on the map. We have learned to love our Coach and each other. It is hard to shake the hand of Coach Borst and say good-bye without shedding a tear. But of course we must; as our ways are doomed to part. We shall carry fond and aching memories from our Athletic experience, memories which we shall probably brood over for a very long time. But let us hope that some day in the future we can have a sort of get-together and do a little,"Do you remember the time when—? etc., etc. We say good-bye to you "Pops" and we say good luck. We wish we could be with you another year. ,Sixty-six

CEDRUS Young Women's Christian Association THIS has been a difficult year for the Y. W.C. A. owing to the decreased number of girls in the college and the general financial depression. However, we have had much to be thankful for. Our small number has enabled us to drop formality and to have round table discussions at our weekly meetings. Some subjects discussed were: Marriage ruinscareer; Good Sportsmanship; Boy and Girl Relations et al., and we derived much benefit and pleasure from these meetings. Some projects presented this year were: Art Appreciation, Music Appreciation, Beauty Culture, Physical Culture, etc. As money-making scheme we sold hot dogs on business days, and in November we successfully held a Waffle Breakfast inviting the public. This last was an entirely new scheme but it proved to be so successful that Dr. Mac requested that it become an annual event. We were able to send thirty dollars to the National Board. In a social way we have held a number of Cabinet parties and get-togethers;.we sponsored the college Hallowe'en Party; worked co-operatively with the College Y. M. C. A. several social occasions.

CEDRUS Y. M. C. A. Notes THE Y.M.C.A. is one of the major organizations of Cedarville College. It has for its duty and aim the building of strong spiritual characters in the young men of the College. For this reason it holds its importance with scholastic and athletic organizations. The efforts of the program chairman have been to promote a keen interest inthe meetings by calling in men of the professional walks of life along with well-known ministers of the surrounding communities. We have had several student-led discussion meetings this year. All these meetings we feel have been intensely interesting, and the members have attended very faithfully. The Y. M.C. A. and the Y. W.C. A. have always enjoyed perfect co-operation. This year has been no exception to the rule. Our several joint meetings have been very successful due no doubt to the availability of more talent. The Y. M.C.A., with the Y.W.C. A. and the social committees of the student body has done much to keep up the interest of the students by the direction of social functions. It is our sincerest wish that this organization for the furthering of Christ's Kingdom may continue to enjoy its prosperity in Cedarville College. May it continue to build Cedarville's men into chirstian leaders who will always honor their Alma Mater and its Y.M.C.A.organization. J. R.C. Seventy-five

CEDRUS Philosophic Literary Society THE Philosophic Literary Society has no rival inthe college, but even though it lacks the stimulus of competition it has enjoyed an active and successful year. Since membership is entirely voluntary, only those with mutual social or literary interest attend the meetings, so that a fine spirit of co-operation results. The officers elected at the first meeting of the year were: President, Marion Hosttler; Vice President, "Wilma Curry; Secretary, Doris Hartman; and Treasurer, Eloise McLaughlin. Three freshmen contributed their efforts during the year toward making the society a success: Chaplain Clyde Hutchison, who led the devotions; Sergeant-at-Arms Joe Finney, who arranged the meeting place and helped serve refreshments; and the Reporter, Walter Kilpatrick, whose items in the "College News" column of the local press were timely and well worded. All officers were re-elected for the second semester. The programs consisted of talks, readings, debates, and short stories, as well as vocal and instrumental solos, duets, and ensembles. Some topic is carried throughout each program, and special features are frequently arranged. After• Hallowe'en an impromptu mock trial was held, in which Carmen Frazier was charged with the theft of a traffic sign from a nearby village, but she was acquitted when she pled insanity. At the Thanksgiving meeting appropriate refreshments were served, and the Christmas program was presented at the Christmas party of the student body. An outdoor meeting at the Cliffs was quite successful. Although the members undoubtedly gain practical experience in public speaking which will be of value to them in later life, the chief aim of the society is to have a good time in the living present and those who know agree that the aim was realized.

CEDRUS Music Department ALTHOUGH our Girls' Glee Club is smaller in number of members this year, we have been doing more advanced work. So far, we have filled no outside engagements, but our work here at home has been highly complimented. The mid-semester concert, with its variety of chorus numbers, solos, trios, quartets, and readings, was received with great appreciation by a large audience of music lovers. The Department of Music, taken as a whole, has been larger this year than for some time. Several instrumental recitals have been given under Miss Berkeley's direction. " An added feature of interest in music has been the Reveler's Quartet, composed of George Gordon, Ed Irons, B. Turner and P. Garlough. This quartet has proven very popular and has given many outside performances. Also, this quartet, together with the girls' quartet, which is composed of Misses Waddle, Skinnell, Hartman and Stevenson, has accompanied Dr. Mac on several trips to various high schools where performances were given as advertisements for our college.

CEDRUS College Club 0 NE of our favorite spots about college is the club located in the basement of the library. Every day the sound of the bell draws a hungry crowd around the dining room tables. It is here we learn to know each other well, for under the influence of plenty of good food we lower the bars of reserve and allow our true disposition to show forth. Of course there is lots of teasing and joking going on while we eat, but experience has taught us to enter into the fun and contribute some ourselves. We will ;dl remember the place where we ate, drank and were merry. S ii r.ty- nine

CEDRUS Cedar Day 1930 NINETEEN-THIRTY Cedar Day Exercises will never be forgotten by those present on that beautiful, sunshiny morning of June fourth. Accompanied by beautiful and sweet strains of music the procession began. The beautiful queen, Lucile Tanner, knelt before a white, flower-bedecked throne, surrounded by her many attendants to be crowned by Miss Margaret Chandler. Possibly one of the most outstanding memories of the day was the May Pole Dance. It was well done and worthy of high praise. Praise was also due Herbert Main, the orator of the day. All those present were permeated with his dauntless hope, vision, loyalty, enthusiasm, and undying love for dear old C. C. The theme of the remainder of the exercises was Spring. Villagers were on the green, dancing to invoke the arrival of Spring. When Spring did not come they went away to the woods in search of it. They found many signs of Spring, the violet dance, the butterfly dance, the tree nymph dance, and the Spring flower dance, but none of these brought the spirit of Spring, (Rachel Douthett). The Wild Rose(Jean Morton) brought the Spirit (solo dance). The spirit of Spring entered attended by sport (stunts), Wanderlust (gypsy dance) and romance. The Wild Rose and the Spirit of Spring then danced accompanied by the villagers and dancers.

CEDRUS Baccalaureate Service As the music pealed forth in the Presbyterian Church, Sabbath evening June 1st, thirty-eight graduates marched down the aisle and took their places. After the Invocation, Scripture reading, and music by the College Girls' Glee Club, Dr. McChesney delivered an excellent sermon, with advice to these young pople who were so soon to step out into life for themselves. Following the message, Mrs. Corry rendered a vocal number. Then the many students and friends departed thinking of the things that are in the future. Commencement Friday morning, June 6th, friends and relatives gathered in the Opera House for the thirty-fourth annual commencement. The Speaker of the morning was Rev. Percival Barker, D.D., pastor of Point Breeze Church, Pittsburgh, Pa., who brought some practical advice to those who were just setting sail into the sea of life. Dr. McChesney conferred the Degrees and gave a Farewell Address warning them of the dangers they would meet and urging them to always follow the paths of right. Home-Coming Banquet'31 On Saturday Evening, February 7, the Cedarville College Home-Coming Banquet was held in the Alford Memorial Gymnasium. This event was especially enjoyed, it being the first since 1928. After the bountiful banquet our president, Dr. W.R. McChesney, welcomed the two hundred guests. Then Mr. Earl Collins, president of the Alumni held the Class Roll Call. There were present three members of the Class of 1900. The After Dinner Speech was given by Prof. Paul Brees, A.M, Head of the Department of Public Speaking at Wittenberg College. His topic was "The Mission of Mirth." After the banquet quite a vast audience witnessed the Antioch-Cedarville game in which the visitors won by the narrow margin of two points. Eighty-seven
CEDRUS Mother-Daughter Banquet Friday Eve, May 9,'30, a delightful Mother and Daughter banquet was held in Alford Memorial Gymnasium. This is an annual affair held under the auspices of the Y. W.C.

President's Reception Dr. and Mrs. McChesney's reception for the students is a pleasure which we anticipate every spring, and we can safely say we are never disappointed. Last year it was an unusually happy occasion. Our President and his wife have the faculty of making one and all feel quite at home. The lunch served to a large number of guests was particularly delicious. Later in the evening we sang the old songs and new songs, and everyone carried home the impression of a happy and memorable evening spent in an ideal home. S. M. C. Eighty-eight
-e CEDRUS Committal Service Our Committal Service this year was indeed lovely and impressive. It was arranged by Frances McChesney, president of Y. W. C. A. of '30—as a Thanksgiving Committal Service. It was held in the Presbyterian Church. As a special feature a half hour organ recital was held before the opening of the service by Mr. Marion Hostetler. The girls, dressed in white, entered the darkened church singing the processional hymn. This year's president Carmen Frazier, opened the service with the lines (arranged by Miss McChesney): Hope giveth us Another year Adventurous To follow the climbing good By thorn and beast withstood To heights of brotherhood. God giveth us Another year All luminous With him our shining source Divine redeeming force Of life's bewildered course Still charioteer. Then the program continued much as the Committal Services have continued for a number of years in Cedarville College Y. W. C. A.—with the old members' testimonies; with the pledging of the new members; and then lastly, the candlelighting service in the participation of which every girl is always thrilled and inspired. At the close of this part of the Service a beautiful bouquet of flowers was presented Miss McChesney for her splendid contribution toward the success of our Service. Then came the recessional with the girls carrying their lighted candles and singing the Y. W.hymn "Follow the Gleam." Eighty-nine

A. as well as for other organizations and for individuals a hard year financially. But it would have been harder had it not been for the Waffle Breakfast. Yes, it was a soc ial and a financial success. It was held on a crisp Friday morning in November at Miss Ruth Marshall's home from 7 to 9 A. M. Considering the early hour there was a surprisingly large crowd out. Many of the college fellows came out (about 8:30) and partook of the hot waffles, sausage and coffee. About sixty persons were served. Dr. Mac was there. Calling for a second helping he said, "Your Waffle Breakfast seems to be quite a success. I propose that it be made an annual affair."
CEDRUS Riproarin' Weddin' THE home of Miss Doris Swaby, north of town, was a scene of a "Riproarin` Weddin'," Thursday evening, April 9, 1931, when the ceremony uniting Miss Rosebud Delicatessen and Mr. Archibald Hercules Headlight in the Holy Bonds of Wedlock was rudely disturbed by a rejected suitor, Mr. Joe Foster, and his gang of would-be desperadoes from Cedarville. It was one of those lovely evenings in April when sudden calamities occur. Twilight had stolen down upon the country home. Everything was in readiness for the wedding—almost. Downstairs the tables were set; the chicken simmering on the stove; the salad set aside to cool; ;he ice cream packed away in the cellar; the bridal flowers delivered and placed in a cool place; the bridal bower in the living room waiting invitingly; in the parlor the few early guests gathered idly gossiping. Upstairs was the flurry and excitement common with weddings. There was much excited questioning and directing, and much suffering as the stronger sex struggled with Tuxedos, and much anxiety as responsibility settled on inexperienced shoulders. Convention was overlooked. Both sexes mingled freely in the dressing rooms. It was not an unusual sight to behold a dainty Miss buttoning a perspiring gentleman into a stiff bosomed shirt, adjusting his suspenders, tying his shoe, etc. There was small talk of the gang's threat to "Bust up the weddin'." Suddenly the hub-bub inside subsided with a "WHOOP!" from the outside— subsided to break out anew in a changed atmosphere. The ladies paled or giggled hysterically; the gentlemen muttered behind their smart mustaches. The gang was attempting to carry out the threat. However, there was not undue anxiety for precautions had been taken against uninvited guests—in the way of locked doors and windows. Thus, the dressing went on until a scream from a far room stilled the hub-bub once more. The unwelcome visitors had found an unlocked window and, swarming up over the porch roof were making a triumphant entry with shouts of victory. Then indeed was the wedding party dismayed. The bride trembled. The minister, always a retiring, unassuming little gentleman rushed to the defense, waving aloft his white carnation. He grasped the sill of the raised window, crashed it down, well-nigh fracturing the skull of one ne'er-do-well who, unaware of the pending danger was following fast upon the heels of his predecessor. The fast following gang, however, soon routed the Reverend Gentleman, who dismayed at his attempted assassisation retired to think it over. The gang meanwhile had gained entrance and its members had arranged themselves about the bridal bower where with loud laughter and rude jesting they awaited the ceremony. The wedding proceeded as if nothing had happened. Just before the processional Miss Nina Stevenson sang "Because" and "I Love You Truly." These numbers were boisterously applauded by the intruders. Then to the measured beat of the Wedding March played by Miss Lenora Skinnel came the processional. First came the ushers, Messrs. Martin and Swaby; then, the little flower girl, Miss Lois Cultice; then, the little ring bearer, Master Martha Lackey; then, the bridesmaids, Misses Bradley, Auld, McLaughlin, Waddle; these were followed by the Maid of Honor, Miss Rachel Douthett, lovely in pink, carrying pink and white sweet peas; lastly, came the bride, (Miss Helen Powers) upon the arm of her father Dr. B. Elias. She was more than lovely in her white georgette gown and veil. In her arms she carried a huge boquet of White Madonna Lillies and white sweet peas. The wedding party was met at the Ninety-one
CEDRUS altar by the groom,(Miss Mildred Carle), the best man, Mr. Sarah Rumbaugh, the minister, Mr.Carmen Frazier, ushered in by Messrs. Chance and Marshall. Amid jeers, comments, and coarse laughter the ceremony commenced. The Reverend Gentleman, realizing the momentousness of the occasion, exerted all his oratorical powers and, though having to pause a number of times to await silence, he concluded the ceremony and pronounced the couple husband and wife. With a sigh of thanksgiving the friends and relatives realized the intruders had failed to make good their boast. Evidently they were catering to the inner man—they had been promised dinner upon good behavior. The friends extended the couple hearty congratulations. The would-be desperadoes expressed the intention of kissing the bride, but apparently theylacked hte boldness they had at first assumed. A delicious dinner of creamed chicken, mashed potatoes, creamed cauliflower, silver and gold salad, Angel Food cake, offee was served. (Score one for the visitors. They stole the ice cream.) Fanning-Tanner A very quiet but impressive wedding ceremony was witnssed by members, friends and relatives Thursday evening, April 10, 1930, when Miss Dorothy Fanning and Mr. L. Tanner were united in marriage—the ceremony taking place at the home of Miss Ruth Marshall, the Reverend Frances McChesney officiating. The dining room and living room were beautifully decorated—a yellow and white color scheme being carried out. A lovely bridal arch, built in the living room served asthe altar. Preceding the ceremony Miss Mary Ruth Wham sang "I Love You Truly" and "0Promise Me." Then the strains of the'Wedding March marked the entrance of the processional. Down the winding stairway it came; first, the ushers, Messrs. Carle and Kirby, Followed by the little flower girls, Misses Bishop and Badstuber; then preceding the bride's attendants was the little ring bearer, Master Jean Morton; then the bridesmaids, Miss Auld, Mrs. Betty Graham; then the Maid of Honor, Miss Hilma Raisenen; lastly, came the bride leaning upon the arm of her father, the Hon. D. Wolfe. The bride was lovely in white silk crepe and long floating veil. She carried a bouquet of white roses. At the altar the bridal party was met by the groom and the best man, Mr. G. Martin and the minister, these being ushered by Messrs. Marshall and Tobias. After the ceremony a delicious luncheon was served the guests. Miss Helen Powers, finding the ring in her piece of cake was proclaimed the bride for '31. C. F. Ninety-two
