CEDRUS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Edward Irons President Marion Hostetler Vice-President Lenora Skinnell Secretary Martha Waddle Treasurer HISTORY The spring'of 1932 and the goal that seemed so very far away! The time that we have longed for so often—at examination time—but now are loathe to see! After four years the time has come when we shall don caps and gowns like many classes before us. Of work and of play we have taken our share. We have tried to live—as well as learn. Even as Freshmen we began to enter into everything. Members from the class became a_tive in athletics and organizations. We were well represented at parties, plays, or anything which deserved our support, and in the classrooms we attempted to show that we realized that ours war, an opportunity which should not be wasted. As Sophomores we began to be recognized by the other classes and to acquire prestige. Then we became Juniors. We gave our class play, "Old Lady 31," which furnished the means by which we entertained the Seniors at a banquet in Springfield. Now as Seniors—supposedly dignified and unafraid, but in reality fearful and full of regrets—me stand at the gate to say good-bye to dear friends. We must draw our cloak of memories more closely about us and pass through. G. M. Nineteen

CEDRUS JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Preston Garlough President DeWitt Rutan Vice-President Viola Harbaugh Secretary Charles Bost Treasurer HISTORY Behold! As we, the class of 1933, are nearing the close of our great college career it seems that we should look back upon some of the great things which we have accomplished. As Freshmen we were mighty in number and act. We will admit that we were soaked at Willow-Bend, but that was a small item in comparison with the great contributions we gave. Our feeds were exceptionally well attended. September, 1930, saw us back at old C. C. happy as a group, but decreasing in number. As Sophomores we added "er" to "great," making us a necessity to the.college. That year we proved our greatness by giving the Freshmen a good bath at Willow-Bend, by winning the inter-class tournament, the Bible Reading Contest and various other things. We have musicians, debaters, and athletes too numerous to mention. But let us pass on before our hats refuse to fit our heads. We can't understand why the girls almost deserted us this year. Except for one loyal girl we are "stagging" our way through. We think the girls feared our ability to out-do (?) them. They were quite a help to us in many ways, but everything is "going good" so far. Just watch in the near future, girls, and you will wish so much that you were stepping along with us. We are great now but by June, 1932, we will be the greatest class yet. We pause here to say, we have ideals that haven't been reached as yet. We are an open-minded group ready to do all we can for the success of our Alma Mater. P. G. rwsaty-finw •

CEDRUS EDGAR BRIGNER Is a talented musician and poet. Always ready to help in any way. We are expecting great things of you, Eddie! CHARLES SPENCER Falling—falling—fallen!! We admire your choice. You know your girls as well as you do your chemistry, or—you are just lucky. HERMAN SCOTT A real help on any football team. Scotty, we're glad that you have another year of it. We're depending on you! CHARLES BOST Never did we see a more versatile man—first selling ads, then candy! Now another duty—taking care of Spencer and Eloise. Twenty-six DEWITT RUTAN Happy-go-lucky—that's he! A long face has no place around Happy. He's a good sport whether winning or losing.
CEDRUS DUTY To do your little bit of toil, To play life's game with head erect; To stoop to nothing that would soil Your honor or your self-respect; To win what gold and fame you can, But first of all to be a man. To know the bitter and the sweet, The sunshine and the days of rain; To meet both victory and defeat, Nor boast too loudly nor complain; To face whatever fates befall And be a man throughout it all. To seek success in honest strife, But not to value it so much That, winning it, you go through life Stained by dishonor's scarlet touch. What goal or dream you choose, pursue, But be a man whate'er you do! —Edgar A. Guest. Twenty-seven
CEDRUS SOPHOMORE CLASS John Murray President Walter Kilpatrick Vi_e-President John Mills Treasurer Doris Hartman Secretary HISTORY Sophomores! The goal seems far ahead, but we are not fearful. We are those whose striving brings success. When we arrived at Cedarville College, students whispered, "Aren't they little?" "They look so dumb." But they soon found that we were mighty though small. Basketball, football, baseball and tennis—some of our members were found in the first ranks—ready to fight—win or lose. And the feeds! We are glad to say that we never had unexpected or uninvited guests at our feeds. And ever the upper-classmen couldn't put a feed over unless they had some freshies to help them. Shearing became quite popular. These shorn lambs were not freshmen only. One often saw them in the sophomore class. A fad? No, a riot! Though we lost a few members of our class this year, we gained some new ones—namely "Red" Murray and Regena Smith—(accidents will happen). • Victory has been ours thus far this year. With the chance to make the freshmen pay—climaxed by giving them a bath in Massie's Creek—we were indeed victorious. But it wasn't luck, boys—it was wisdom! All pull together, that's the way to win. May we in the future pull together for a fuller realization of ideals and ambitions in life. L. C.—J. M. Twenty-eight

CEDRUS FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Robert Harriman President Arthur Donaldson Vice-President Marjorie Gordon Secretary Jane West Treasurer HISTORY Although we are called freshmen we do not mind the name. Some day we'll be great men and women (that's our ambition) looking back on our freshman days at Cedarville College saying, "that's where I got my start." The upper-classmen think we should be seen and not heard. They can't expect us to do that because we're of the up and going type. We are the babies of the college, so don't we have to cry once in a while? Our brothers and sisters (the upper-classmen) are quite proud of us but they won't acknowledge it. So are our fathers and mothers (the professors). They have told us we will be Lindberghs, Marconis, Edisons, and maybe Ghandis. We already have a Ford and some want to join the Marx Brothers. We are also strong and talented. Already some of our playmates have climbed out of their cribs to play football, basketball, baseball and tennis. We're all boosting for an All-American out of our class. Under the guiding hands of our fathers and mothers who give us nourishing milk which is Knowledge, we hope to grow up to be fine young men and women of whom Cedarville College will be proud. —C. A.

• ATHLETICS • "We must not despair; the game is yet in our own hands; to play it well is all we have to do."
CEDRUS THE NEW PHYSICAL EDUCATION The new physi.al training must fit the man to the new age. What does the new age demand? What kind of energy does it require? Not muscular energy, but nervous energy. Not muscular power, but organic vigor. The new physical training will develop not large muscles, but strong muscles. It will not burn up nervous energy,as much of our athletics has done, but it will seek to store up nervous energy. The new age demands men of initiative, men who are alert, men of imagination. Therefore those types of activity that develop these qualities will be used. These qualities are usually developed in play. Play is creative, poetic, stimulating to the imagination. The new age demands men who will play the game and play it fair and according to rules. Hence, the ethical side of physical training will be stressed. The new physical training will be objective rather than subjective. The old gymnastics was subjective. The new athletics is objective. Gymnastics deal with form and the way the exercise is performed. Athletics deal with accomplishment as, for illustration, the putting of the ball over the line. The old emphasis in physical training was upon materials used. The new emphasis is upon the individuals served. The new age, because of much of its monotony of work, sordidness, and artificialty, will require of its physical training that it will enrich life, deepen the emotions, enrich the feelings. The new physical training will select those forms of physical expression which develop the emotional life. The new age demands social leaders, team play, ability to work with others. The new physical training will be highly social. It will place emphasis upon the group, upon leadership, upon coordinate action. The old emphasis in athletics was upon the spectacle. The new emphasis will be upon participation. The new physical training should produce men slender in type, graceful, not heavy muscularly, clear-eyed, supple but not tense, alert, enthusiastic, happy, forceful, imaginative, self-controlled, true, clean, and with a sense of fair play.

CEDRUS C.C.FOOTBALLREVIEW It happened! Cedarville College's football team won more than one game during its season. The 1931 edition of Cedarville football history shows the most successful team in several years. During the firstweeks of practice several problems confronted the "Yellow Jackets." They were at a disadvantage, being a small school with only a limited number to report for practice. They were scheduled to meet a number of larger schools and this did not help matters any. Then there was practically a new team to be built around only a few veterans. But the "Yellow Jackets" did not let these so-called disadvantages darken their spirits. They immediately went into the initial practice sessions with the intention of causing their'opponents some real trouble. The "Yellow Jackets" opened the season under the floodlights of Mt. Union, an Ohio Conference school, at Alliance. All that can be said about this opener is rain! rain!rain! But while it was raining the "Mount" team proceeded to form an avalanche of end runs,line drives,and other tactics a well-balanced team should know. When the rain stopped, and the score was added, the "Yellow Jackets" were on the short end of a 39-0 trimming. The first game at home also produced a defeat, this time by Rio Grande College. The team seemed again to suffer from lack of experience. After scoring first, the team lost all its punch and was only able to hold the Rio team to three touchdowns resulting in an 18-7 score. Still seeking their first victory the "Yellow Jackets" went to ICentucky for an intersectional battle. This was also a nocturnal affair, and they applied their sting in the form of a 12-7 beating administered to Union College. This was undoubtedly the outstanding game of the season. The second home game was another after-dark affair at Cox Field in Xenia. After holding Urbana to a scoreless tie for three periods, the "Yellow Jackets" let them run loose in the final quarter, and, as a result, came off the field on the short end of 18-0 score. The return game with Rio Grande was even more of a catastrophe than the first. Handicapped by injuries and in general having an off day they were again turned back, this time 31-6. Under the light at Cox Field again, the "Yellow Jackets" met their old rival, Wilmington. Cedarville outplayed the Green and White wave, but was unable to score. In the last half Wilmington started to score. Before the game ended they had made four touchdowns and won 25-0. Then came the season's finale. Three seniors were to play their last game. Captain Ed. Irons, fullback, was terminating four years of football for Cedarville College. He led his team, with Tayloras co-captain, to a complete 12-6 victory over Urbana. This victory evened the account with Urbana and closed the season successfully. Of course C. C. won only two games, but as a whole the team of '31 played very good football. The season was especially successful when the fact that Coach Borst was playing a practically new line is considered. Next year with more veteran players to build a team, the prospects are much brighter. Let's all boost for a bigger season with more victories in '32. —W.E. S. Thirty-six

BASKETBALL From the standpoint of the number of games won, this season has been very unsuccessful. The varsity did not win a game. But we are not discouraged. New material is always hard to weld into a championship team. Yo)u must first teach your charges the new game, because everyone knows that college basketball is hard to play. Most of our squad was inexperienced, and Coach Borst had to build practically a new team. His success may not have showed on the win side of the column, but he developed in the squad a spirit that was not broken even by continual defeat. Much credit is due to "Pops," and all the boys of his squad want to thank him for the lesson of spirit and fair play, even when the odds were against them, which he gave them throughout the season. With Coach Borst at the helm next year, and the boys of this squad here also, only success lies ahead, because a team that "can't be beaten won't be beaten." —H.S. M. Thirty-eight

GIRLS' BASKETBALL REVIEW Cedarville College Girls' Basketball Team opened its season at home on January 12 with a fast exciting game with the Alumni of Cedarville College which resulted in a tie game 37-37. The teams were very evenly matched, thus making it interesting for spectators. On January 23, the X. Y. Z. (former Jacamar Team) defeated the Cedarville Girls on the Catawba floor to the tune of 30-15. In a return game, this team again gained a victory over the Cedarville lassies. The score was 21-9. Miss Auld in forward position and Miss McLaughlin at guard will be lost to the squad for the next season. The rest of the squad will be available, however, and we are looking forward to a good season for Cedarville Girls' Basketball Team in 1932-1933. —R.R. S. Thirty-nine
CEDRUS White, Kilpatrick, Harriman, Donaldson, Taylor, E. Spencer, Waddle. TENNIS Although Cedarville's tennis team did not meet with unmitigated success in the Spring of 1931, it opposed some of the best squads in southern Ohio, and always put up a good stiff battle, win or lose. Prospe-ts for the 1932 season are very good, with three players returning from last year, besides a considerable amount of new talent. Robert Wilson and Robert Collins are lost from the 1931 team. Cedarville plans to play a more extensive schedule this year, due to the interest displayed in the sport. Also, intramural tournaments are being planned for both men and girls. Officers elected at the winter meeting of the Tennis Club were Walter Kilpatrick, President; and Robert White, Manager. Among the candidates for the team will be Taylor, Harriman, White, Donaldson, Waddle, E. Spencer, Moorman, McCallister, Free, and Kilpatrick. —W.S. K. Forty

BASEBALL REVIEW The baseball season of 1931 was considered by all a very successful chapter in the athletic history of Cedarville College, and we are proud of a record showing, eight winnings at the end of the season. Last spring we engaged in combat with seven different teams. We encountered Morehead and Miami just once and lost, but we feel certain that we would have given them more trouble the second time; Dayton and Defiance were met twice and defeated at both encounters; Wilberforce with its usual strong team scored four defeats against the Orange and Blue; Antioch managed to come out on top in one of the four games with us; with our greatest rival, Wilmington, we broke even—one game won and one lost. We can well be proud of Coty Turner, who averaged thirteen strike-outs to a game, while our opponents averaged only five hits a game against him. In addition to Coty, graduation took four other valuable members from the team. Walter Boyer, B. Turner, Al Townsley, and Wendy Boyer left places that will be hard to fill. However we still have a few who were active last year. Taylor and Garlough have already proven that they know something about baseball and can play the game. We are expecting great things from them this year. —G• M. Forty-one

CEDRUS STUDENT BODY Edward Irons President Preston Garlough Vice-President Wilda Auld Secretary-Treasurer Never—yes, I know that covers quite a bit of time, but again I repeat—never has Cedarville College had a better group of students. They may have been equaled— but never surpassed. More pep, more interest, and more enthusiasm in things undertaken has never been shown in years preceding. Although they have omitted some of the things such as borrowing chickens and having chicken roasts—which some of our chapel speakers would have us believe to be almost necessary to a complete college life—we do not feel that our present students have been entirely inactive and without fun. They have not been content to go along merely following in the footprints of those before them. They have desired to step ahead and do more than their predecessors. Consequently several new dubs have been organized with one main purpose in view—that of adding more interests to the college and attracting more and more persons to come and join our happy family here at Cedarville College.

CEDRUS THE CEDRUS Work, work, work! At first we thought that the work of making an annual was going to be like a woman's work—"never done." There was this-and-that, then that-and-this. The road seemed smooth for a distance—then there was a long detour that made us doubtful as to whether or not there was a real destination, and (if there was) whether we should ever reach it. We had always thought of rubber as material which could be stretched, but from all laboratory and practical experience, we had never come to consider copper and silver in the same class. But now we had to do something because it was absolutely necessary that those pennies and quarters cover more space. Necessity, a true mother, always provides—and so she came to our aid and taught us things about stretching metal that no laboratory nor the finest professor could teach us. This learning combined with the willing hands of many of the students of the college (to whom we wish to give our most sincere thanks) soon caused things to begin to move. Each and every member of the staff was interested and eager to do whatever he could to help. Time has taken its course—but it seemed shorter this time—and now the Cedrus is completed. There will be mistakes and there will be things which would have been much better had they been done another way, but we ask you not to be hasty in your judgment of the book. Reserve your comments. Ten, fifteen, or twenty years will come nearer giving you the proper perspective. If, when many years hence you pick up this time-worn volume of the Cedrus, it brings the slightest chuckle or sob of memory,then we shall feel that all our work and efforts have been repaid. This is your book—not ours—and we have endeavored to make it the best that we possible could. —G. M. Forty-six

CEDRUS Young Women's Christian Association In spite of the fact that our number this year is limited, our Y. W. is still a live organization. The attendance at our weekly meetings has been excellent. Our wide-awake Freshmen, who constitute half of our group, attend one hundred per cent practically every time, and they take an active part in the discussions. Our programs, under the direction of our efficient program chairman, have been very interesting and helpful. They include the practical problems that the girl has to face in everyday life. Through our projects we are attempting to learn to develop more fully the three phases of every girl's life—the mental, the moral, and the physical,— and to give to each girl a keener appreciation of the aesthetic. Financially, this year has been very successful, and we have been able to contribute our full share toward national expenses. Our outside activities have been numerous and varied. We cooperated with the Y. M. in giving a "get-together" party last fall. We welcomed the Freshmen girls and reconsecrated the former members in a special Thanksgiving Committal Service. This beautiful candle-light service was written by our dear President of 1930, Frances McChesney, who, although he has gone to her reward, lives on •in the memory of those who knew her. We were able to distribute ten baskets at Thanksgiving to needy families of the community. This was made possible by the liberal contributions of our friends and by the help of industrious members of the Y. M. Our "Collegiate Cabaret" in December was very successful financially and otherwise. On Feb. 29 we entertained the Y. M. at a Leap Year party. In March we enjoyed a very helpful talk on "Social Health and Hygiene" by Mrs. Mary Cartwright who is sent out by the national Y. M. C. A. We are looking forward to our annual Mock Wedding, to our Silver Tea, to a spring breakfast, and to the Mother-Daughter banquet. —M.L. W. Forty-nine

Steele President Vi_e President Secretary Treasurer Program Chairman Faculty Adviser Social Chairman Assistant Program Chairman Faculty Adviser Young Men's Christian Association All men of the faculty and student body are welcome to join the Young Men's Christian Association, and a large number of them have accepted the privileges and responsibilities which membership involves. The main function of the organization has been the holding of its regular meetings every Wednesday morning throughout the year. A great variety of programs has been presented under the direction of Clyde Hutchison, whose work as program chairman deserves great commendation. Among the most interesting of out-of-town speakers was Rev. C. A. Sundberg of Springfield, who gave a sidesplitting talk on "Pep." The local ministers and members of the faculty talked on various phases of the moral and intellectual life in very effective speeches. Perhaps the most valuable meetings were those in which the students themselves participated, thus gaining self-mastery and the ability to think straight on vital matters.
CEDRUS The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. cooperated in staging a welcome party for the new students at the beginning of the year. At Hallowe'en the Y. M. C. A. entertained the college with a masquerade party in the gymnasium. As a bit of service for the college it was voted to erect signs of welcome on the main highways through Cedarville. The men painted and placed signs bearing the college seal and the words,"Welcome to Cedarville, the Home of CEDARVILLE COLLEGE. A Small Christian College of Liberal Arts." Through the state organization of the Association, local men are able to learn of the activities e students in other colleges and to receive the advice of specialists on subjects of interest to youth. The spiritual ideals gained through such agencies as the Y. M. C. A. will probably outlast the information imparted in the classroom and the skills acquired in the laboratory and on the athletic field, so the work of the organization would seem to be of great importance to all students. —M.S.

CEDRUS PHILOSOPHIC LITERARY SOCIETY This year has indeed been a successful one for Cedarville's literary society. The attendancehas been espe..ially good, as there have usually been thirty-five or forty members present at each meeting; and the quality of the programs furnished by the committees has been excellent. The devotions which form a part of each meeting were ably executed by the chaplains. The programs proper have been interesting and well planned, and have consisted of all types of readings, music, playlets, and debates. The Philosophic Society had no competition this year. It seems that the other literary society has fallen by the wayside, and only a few of its members are left among the student body. We are hoping to have two societies next year, which we feel would be a boon to both societies through the competition developed and the enjoyment of such activities as debates and contests between the two societies. The literary society furnishes one of the best channels for the development of the academic life of the students. In its meetings some of the most useful elements of one's education are obtained, and also the opportunity is afforded for the development of the various literary activities. Then we mustn't forget the social period which we have enjoyed at the close of all our meetings this year. Along with the games and contests we enjoyed the fine refreshments which the committees prepared. Again let us say that we have had a very successful year, and that we are hoping for even better things next semester. —C.A. H. Fifty-two

CEDRUS CEDARVILLE COLLEGE CLUB As soon as that twelve o'clock bell rang, all roads led to the club. We knew that we would find a nice hot dinner waiting. Above the clatter of knives and forks, varied conversations were audible. If no particular student was present to suffer the humility of being kidded about a recent date, the boy's last resort was to complain to Be..ky about the pie. After all we have to admit that when better butterscotch pies are made, Becky will make them. Remember those stunts after supper during the warm summer evenings! To the "Old Mill" and back seemed to give us incentives to go home and burn the midnight oil; that is, providing something of a more romantic nature didn't obstruct one's well formed intentions. The Club has done its part in forming many friendships which shall last through the years to come. May the Club always be the source of cherished memories' to us all. —J. N. M. Fifty-foul
CEDRUS GIRLS' GLEE CLUB MUSIC DEPARTMENT The Girls' Glee Club has been doing excellent work this year. The twenty-four voices are well balanced for the three-part chorus work. The club has traveled to various churches at a distance from 'here to help in the evening services. The annual concert was well attended and applauded. This department of music along with the boys' quartet is growing in popularity. The quartet has many outside engagements. The voices of Garlough, Free, Irons, and Gordon, who make up this quartet, harmonize especially well. Another feature of the music department is the instrumental recitals given on piano and pipe-organ. These show the progress made by the pupils, and much credit is due Miss Berkley for the success of both these and the vocal concerts. —L.L. S. Fifty-five
CEDRUS THE "X" CLUB Rachel Douthett President Ben Pierce Vice-President Dorothy Lunsford Secretary Mary Catherine Probasco Treasurer HISTORY The "X" Club was organized this year by a group of Xenia students. Only students of Cedarville College residing in Xenia were eligible. The following officers headed this group: Rachel Douthett, Ben Pierce, Dorothy Lunsford, and Mary Catherine Probasco. Throughout the year the club enjoyed their spreads and good times at the homes of different members. To make ourselves more prominent we presented programs before the college during the chapel periods. An enthusiastic group of fifteen members composed this club and each one is striving to interest someone from Xenia in Cedarville College. It is our earnest hope that this club will continue to exist in years to come. Fifty-six

CEDRUS FAREWELL We come and we go. After four years of study and preparation, often more, seldom less, fleeting, panting we take our leave, opportunity to beckon us from every clime. The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-two entered upon the sacred duties becoming of Seniors in the land of Orange and Blue possessed of a victorious past and hopeful of a worthy future. Joyfully we shouldered our burdens. In preparing the Cedrus we have sought the best. Along tortuous paths and with strange fancies we have picked our way. Though our sWps may have wandered, at times may have faltered, be it said of us after all is o'er, that we did our best. With fairness toward all and malice toward none, we have endeavored to represent every department of Cedarville College, and every phase of our student life, not always seriously, but ever, we hope, kindly. When looking back we would not judge boastfully that which we have done, but rather would ask your kind indulgence. To friends everywhere, students, alumni and faculty, we send our greetings.

CEDRUS SONG TO THE QUEEN Hail to our May Queen, the pride of the day. Gladly we greet her, our Queen of May. Stately she walks as we greet her today, Our queen so sweet and fair. Fair as the flowers, that bloom in the spring, Greetings to her we will ever bring. Dear to our hearts is this queen of '31 Gladly we will crown her now. Always on May Day our hearts beat with rapture Here as we kneel before our Queen of May And with our voices we shout and are gay, And now with praise we gaze on her today. CEDAR DAY 1931 Cedar Day 1931 will be remembered as one of the most outstanding features of the thirty-fifth annual commencement of Cedarville College. Our May Queen, Sarah Rumbaugh, accompanied by her numerous attendants, knelt before the throne to be crowned by our queen of 1930, Miss Lucile Tanner. She then ascended to her throne where she reigned supreme while the various phases of College Life passed in review before her. The Spirit of the Day was portrayed by the May Pole Dance which was executed very creditably. Then the scholastic part of College Life was excellently portrayed by the orator of the day, Robert Collins. This was done exceedingly well, and was certainly representative of what our college wishes its students to attain in that branch of their activities. A duet dance by Ruth Bradley and Bernese Elias represented Youth at college. Each class represented the Class Spirit by a special stunt. A wand drill by the gym class represented Work in college. A quartet represented the Glee Club, an important part of College Life. Athletics, one of the outstanding features of College Life, was represented by a calisthenics drill (girl's gym class). The grand finale was typical of the way in which college life ends after four wonderful years. Sixty

CEDRUS JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET One of the most outstanding spring events of 1931 for Cedarville College was the Junior-Senior Banquet held at the hotel Shawnee in Springfield on May fifth. The food was quite delectable and well-served. Music was furnished by Bernese Elias, Eleanor Bull, and Clyde Hutchison during the meal. The able Master of Ceremonies, Mr. Henry Iddings, presided for the rest of the evening over the gathering with this ship program:— All Aboard Robert Wilson For Good Fellowship James Stormont A Steady Breeze Abeam a Quiet Sea—Prophecy Robert Collins Vocal Duet Martha Waddle, Lenora Skinnell Walking the Plank Vernon Hickman Past Voyages—History Helen Powers The Fleet—Friendship, Fellowship and Courtship Mr. Davis Reading Carmen Frazier The Water that Beats the Boat—Will Sarah Rumbaugh Musical Number Ruth Marshall Hurrah for the Crew Rachel Douthett Ready to Anchor Dr. McChesney Surely everyone left feeling that he had spent one of the happiest evenings of his life. W.A. KID DAY It was a nice warm day in Spring! The good old fairy waved her wand and all was changed. Back to childhood and those happy care-free days! Curls, braids, dolls, book-bags, and breeches unfastened at the knee and dropping down over the shoe top—all these even for one day! Little girls brought their dollies to visit school and little boys produced all kinds of stick candy and lollypops from their pockets. Teachers heard the tales of dolly's troubles and woes and expressed heartfelt sympathy. They seemed quite distressed also when it was whispered—tin order that "baby" might not hear—that Sally Jane or Betsy Anne was suffering from that terrible disease known as "Leaking Sawdust." But, alas, like Cinderella, we have a limited time. At four o'clock the dear old fairy steps out and claps her lands, and all is over. Dolls must go back to their place in the cupboard; hair must be imprisoned by hairpins; and bookLags and breeches must be carried back to the attic where are carefully packed away all the other little things which remind mother what a sweet child Johnny was. Another day! Stately grown-ups walk sedately over the campus where chilren had played but the day before. For another year theirs is the lot of poor unfortunate men and women with no opportunity to enter again into fairyland. Sixty-two
CEDRUS
CEDRUS BACCALAUREATE SERVICES The Baccalaureate Services for the class of 1931 of C. C. were held in the First Presbyterian Church, Sabbath evening, May 31. The music for the event was under the direction of Miss Berkley of the department of music. There were special numbers by the College Women's Glee Club and by Miss Ruth Ingle, director of the Covenant Presbyterian Choir of Springfield, Ohio. The invocation was pronounced by Rev. C. A. Hutchison, pastor of the Methodist Church, Dr. W. P. Harriman, pastor First Presbyterian church read the scripture lesson of the evening, and prayer was offered by Dr. R. A. Jamieson, pastor of the United Presbyterian Church. The sermon was given by the Rev. H. C. Hut_hison, pastor of Hoge Presbyterian Church, of Columbus, Ohio. His theme was, "Elements of Success and Happiness." The speaker urged upon his hearers that the elements of success are rooted in things eternal and that to gain real success one must put first things first. The general verdict was that the discourse was helpful and worthwhile. The benediction was pronounced by Dr. W. R. McChesney, president of the college, and the first event of commencement week passed into history. Thirty-fifth Annual Commencement Commencement, that time to which a student looks forward with great desire and sees pass with deep regret, came for the Class of 1931, Friday, June 5, 1931, in the Opera House, Cedarville, Ohio, at 9:30 a. m. The processional march from Carnegie Library ended to the strains of a stirring march as the class, trustees, faculty, and invited guests took their places on the stage. Rev. Thomas R. Turner, D. D., Class of '99, and pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Quincy, Massachusetts, offered the opening prayer. This was followed by the address of the day by Rev. William L. McEwan, D. D., LL. D., pastor of the Third Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, president of the board of trustees of Princeton University, and former Moderator of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., General Assembly. This final address for those about to say good-bye to old C. C. halls was full to the brim of rich suggestions for the meeting of the problems of life. Following the address, Dr. W. R. McChesney gave his farewell address and conferred the degrees earned by the various candidates, as follows: Bachelor of Arts, Edith Foster and Virgil Hughes. Bachelor of Arts with the state provisional high school certificate, Walter Boyer, Wendell Boyer, Bernice Bryant, Mildred Carle, Robert Collins, Wilma Curry, Carmen Frazier, Joseph Foster, Vernon Hickman, Helen Powers, Sarah Rumbaugh, James Stormont, Irene Tobias, Alfred Townsley, Albert Turner, Brenton Turner.

H.Brown. Honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity, Rev. William H. Kendall, pastor of the Memorial Presbyterian Church, Indianapolis, Indiana, and Rev. Ernest McClellan, pastor of the United Presbyterian Church, Rochester, N. Y., Class of '09. The closing prayer was by Chaplain G. LaClede Markle, U. S. Navy, class of '25, and thus ends the account of the last event of Commencement Week. C. W. S. Sixty-four
CEDRUS COMMITTAL SERVICE This year the Y. W. C. A. adopted, for permanent use, the beautiful Committal Service in loving memory of Frances McChesney who wrote it last year. The service was held in the Presbyterian Church which was simply but beautifully decorated with ferns and candles. The girls, dressed in white, entered the candle-lit church singing the processional. Martha Waddle, our president, presided over the beautiful sacred service with her usual sincere leadership. The service consists of appropriate songs and Bible verses, testimonies from old members, the pledging of the new members and the recessional to our Y. W. song—when the girls leave the church carrying their lighted candles. During the service Frances' picture was under a small light on the organ. Behind it was a large basket of chrysanthemums which were presented to Mrs. McChesney after the service. L. L. S. DEBATING TEAMS Intercollegiate debating was resumed this year, and the teams under the direction of Dean C. W. Steele had quite a successful season. A team composed of Franklin Trubee, Walter Kilpatrick, Marion Hostetler, and Joseph Free took the negative of the question, "Resolved, that the United States should recognize Soviet Russia." At a debate conference at North Manchester, Indiana, they won the decision from a Manchester team and had non-decision debates with Bowling Green and Franklin Colleges. Later in the year they defeated the Wilmington men': team. Cedarville had an affirmative and a negative team for the question, "Re solved, that the entrance of women into the industrial and political life of the United States is to be deplored." The affirmative team was composed of Martha Waddle, Eloise McLaughlin (silent member), Marion Hostetler and Joseph Free; and the negative, of Rachel Douthett, Bernese Elias, and Gertrude Martin. Both teams debated Wittenberg, and the affirmative team also met representatives of Miami University, Wilmington College, and Rio Grande College. M. S. H. Sixty-fin
CEDRUS FRESHMAN WEEK Cedarville, Ohio September 26, 1931 Dear Mother and Dad: I have been in school here two weeks and I am just crazy about it. Everyone is so friendly to me and they are showing me such a good time that I haven't felt lonesome or homesick yet. I suppose you received my letter of the 21st telling you that freshman week started then; well this letter will tell you what happened. Well, here's where I tell on the girls. I think, on observation I saw a lot that looked as if they weren't feeling well, but I found out later that it was because they weren't allowed to use any cosmetics or wear jewelry. Then, each had to wear a cotton dress and a green bib with her name printed on it in large white letters. It looked as if they were wearing an apron or something similar. Was that a scream? And the people in Cedarville didn't get a very good impression of the freshmen because the girls had to carry umbrellas and upper classmen's books, wear rattles and contrasting hose, part their hair in the middle and also use the driveway instead of walks and paths, because the upper classmen said freshies might fall down and hurt themselves on dirt. Was it hard to get a date vath a freshman girl that week! Well, the rule was that no freshman girl should ride or walk with young men until after the rules were suspended. Can you blame us men for almost turning into savages? The greatest feat was on Thursday when the girls had to scrub the front steps with tooth brushes and a cupful of water, but I think they had as much fun doing it as did the upper classmen laughing at them. This isn't all they had to do but I know the girls wouldn't like for me to tell you because they are back to their natural state of being now as if nothing had happened. (I'll cheat and tell vou the rest when I get home for vacation, eh?) Now for the boys. We were made as big fools as were the girls, but I don't see how we could have been, cause I've heard you say, Dad, that there wasn't a bigger fool born than a woman. The boys had some rules that made us look like we came to college to cut up. We had to enter the main building by the side door Sixty-.ix 11
