PROLOGUE. On this fortieth anniversary of Cedarville College, it has been our aim, as a Cedrus staff, not only to produce a crystallization of this year's activities, but a brief review of those forty years as a whole. Such an ideal could be attained only through the cooperation of many people throughout the year. May we here express our appreciation to all who have so helped, as we present the fruit of our labors — the 1934 Cedrus — to the students, alumni, and friends of Cedarville College. The Editor.

EARLY HISTORY OF CEDARVILLE The idea of establishing an institution for higher education in Cedarville originated with the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in America, a denomination representative in this country of the historic Covenanter Church of Scotland. Dr. Hugh MacMillan, for many years pastor of the Cedarville congregation, manifested a warm interest in the cause of higher education, and was the principal of a classical academy in Greene County, which he conducted successfully in addition to his pastoral labors. In January, 1887, Cedarville College was duly chartered by the state of Ohio. The enterprise then slumbered for a few years for various reasons, but in May, 1894, a fresh and most successful start was again made. The General Synod elected Rev. David McKinney of Cincinnati, Ohio, president of the college, and directed the Board of Trustees to open the college in the autumn of the same year. The Board accordingly chose a faculty, and on Wednesday, September 19, 1894,the college was formally opened, conducting classes in the historic building pictured above. Page Eleven
The catalogue of 1896 describes the building thus: "The basement contains a gymnasium, a chemical room, coal cellars, and the heating apparatus. On the first floor there are four class rooms, the chapel, and the president's room. On the second floor, four class rooms, a large lecture room, and the library. Two large society rooms occupy the entire third floor. The building is surmounted by a tower." Though several buildings have been added, "Old Main" remains the center of Cedarville College life. Page Twelve For nearly forty years the Main Hall of Cedarville College has stood, surrounded by cedar trees, in the middle of the college campus. Its ivycovered walls have become dear to all who have studied within them. This old building brings back memories of the happiest days of the lives of Cedarville alumni. It represents to them all that Cedarville College stands for— the highest ideals of life.
Cedarville College's department of science was originally located in the rooms now occupied by Prof. Steele and Prof. Ault. In 1909, the partition in the second-story room was removed to provide a combination laboratory and recitation room. Here the science department had its headquarters until the fall of 1923. when the new science building was ready for occupancy. This fine new building, equipped with complete modern apparatus, has been the delight of the instructors and aspiring young scientists. The basement and first floor contain the chemistry and physics laboratories and class rooms. On the second floor are located the botany and zoology laboratories and classrooms. This year has seen the addition of an adequate library devoted to the interests of the department of education. Page Thirteen
When one thinks of college, he must necessarily think of books, for books play an enormous part in a college education. When the Main Hall was built in 1896, one room was set aside as a library, but this room soon became too small to accommodate the increasing number of books. Therefore, in December, 1905, Andrew Carnegie generously donated $12,000 to erect a library building, with a capacity of 17,000 volumes, for Cedarville College. The college and community cooperate in maintaining and enjoying the library. The basement of the library at the present time furnishes quarters for the "Eating Club," the literary society, and the department of music. Page Fourteen
When the main building was erected in 1895, space was provided for a department of physical education. A gymnasium, furnished with complete apparatus, was opened in 1896 in the basement of the main building. All students had free access to this gymnasium and "college authorities promptly checked any tendency to brutality and excess in athletic contests." In 1902, Mr. W. J. Alford presented the trustees with the church building and grounds lately vacated by the Reformed Presbyterian Congregation, and desired that it be used as a gymnasium. Accordingly it was equipped with complete apparatus for physical education and indoor athletics. Adequate kitchen and dining room 'facilities were also provided so that Alford Memorial today renders a very fine service to Cedarville community. Page Fifteen
IN MEMORIAM DR. DAVID McKINNEY Born — May 20, 1860 Died — April 26, 1934 President of Cedarville College 1894-1915 President Emeritus 1Q15-1934 Rev. David McKinney, D.D., first President of Cedarville College, was born in Philadelphia, May 20, 1860. His parents were members of the Third Reformed Presbyterian Church, of Philadelphia, with which he also united at the age of fifteen. He received his literary education in the Philadelphia Public Schools, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary. He was licensed to preach April 3, 1883; and on October 2, 1884, was ordained pastor of the Washington Congregation, near Elgin, III. In the spring of 1888 he received a call to the First Reformed Presbyterian Church of Cincinnati. Upon the merger of this congregation with the First Presbyterian Church he became pastor and served until the merger of the Covenant and First congregations. In 1891 he was married to Miss Carrie Chapin of Cincinnati. During his residence in Cincinnati he was both actively and officially connected with many of the religious and reform movements of the city. In May, 1895, Wittenberg College conferred upon him the degree of D.D. He was also one of the examiners of the University of Pennsylvania. At the meeting of the General Synod held at Coulterville, III., in May, 1894, the Synod, on the recommendation of the Board of Trustees, elected him first President of Cedarville College. At that time the college was largely a prospective institution. Dr. McKinney took hold of the work with such energy and determination that from a plan on paper it evolved into a reality. As president of the college, Dr. McKinney was acquainted with every student and worked with great zeal for the success of the institution. Since his resignation as President in 1915, Dr. McKinney has kept in close touch with the school, serving very efficiently on the Board of Trustees. Cedarville College owes in large part her very existence to Dr. McKinney. It is difficult to express our appreciation in words. His death in Cincinnati on April 26 took a friend from Cedarville College who can never be replaced. Page Sixteen .1MMI
DR. McCHESNEY The history of the forty years of Cedarville College is also the history of forty years of faithful service of one who was the first elected teacher in the college, and who has been our beloved president in the past nineteen years. Wilbur Renwick McChesney was born July 7, 1871, in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, of Scotch Covenanter parentage. He had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and refused to allow anything to prevent his attaining the best education available. He studied at Franklin College where he received his A.B. degree in 1892, and his M. A. in 1894. He earned his Ph.D. degree from Franklin College in 1906, and was honored with the degree of D.D. by Tarkio College in 1915. Dr. McChesney was ordained as a minister of the gospel by the Reformed Presbyterian Church in 1900. In 1894 Dr. McChesney was called to Cedarville College as the first professor of an cient languages, and was chosen to succeed Dr. McKinney as president in 1915. Page Seventeen

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY President Robert Ross Vice-president Jane West Secretary-Treasurer Glenna Basore Business Manager Lois Cultice In the fall of 1930 the usual crop of youngsters arrived at Cedarville College with the usual amount of Freshman audacity and ignorance. From the first we proved to be an unusual class. We got off to a flying start by being the only freshman class in the history of the college whose feeds all escaped the ravages of the upper-classmen. Another unusual feature to which some attributed our success at keeping secrets was our notable lack of girls. But this handicap has been bravely overcome, as each year has marked an addition of female members to our class. Our class is marked by high scholarship, as almost half of The students are members of the Cedarville College Crown Club. We have contributed more than our share to the various activities of the campus—in athletics, Y. W. and Y. M., music organizations, Literary Society, Debate team, etc. Perhaps two of our members should be mentioned in particular. Miss Glenna Basore has served as a most efficient and willing teacher of Oratory, and director of all the plays during her attendance at college. Miss Ruth West deserves special mention since she has attended college while employed in the Probate Court Office, but she has completed a full college course with high honors in addition to her regular position. Our students come from three states, and a number have entered from time to time from other colleges. All these people have been welcome additions to our ranks. SENIOR PRESIDENTS OF THE PAST I903—J.

JUNIOR HISTORY President Carl Ferguson Vice-President ...... Paul Rife Secretary Gilbert Christian Treasurer Eleanor Bull All aboard! The cry did not need to be sounded a second time for thirty-two new sailors that joined the ship of time in 1931 to traverse the choppy waves of college life. The weather prophets (professors) had prophesied clear sailing, but ere we had been on board a few weeks, the waves beat high and the new sailors strove hard for a whole week to keep the boat upright (and their dignity), only to be upset at the famous whirlpool (Willow Bend). With "Bob" Harriman on the bridge of the ship to choose the best course, we each took our boats to answer the S. 0. S. call of the football, basketball, baseball, and tennis crews, as well as chorus, glee club, literary society and other organizations that were strengthened by the "Freshies". Answering the call for 1932-1933 there were twenty-six in our crew with "Art" Donaldson in the pilot-house. This year after a struggle we survived the whirlpool, but the Freshmen weren't so lucky. Again more of our boats went out to answer the S. 0.S. calls of the football, basketball, baseball, tennis, and debate crews, as well as helping to rescue the chorus, glee club, and other organizations. On Cedar Day we buried the Sophomore class and bid goodbye to five of our crew who were to become masters of a larger crew, as elementary teachers. "Stew" Kitchen was chosen helmsman of the ship with crew of eighteen, as it started on the second half of the journey. Misfortune soon befell us and we lost "Stew", who left our ship to captain his own. At the end of the semester, "Bill" McCallister left our crew without a man in control, so we selected ''Fergy" to lead us. This year we continued to take our course through the choppy waves and join the different teams and organizations. We made good at selling candy, which, with the proceeds from "Blarney Street", our class play, furnished the means to treat the Senior crew, May 10, at Lawrenceville. We are hoping to sail successfully into harbor next year. Page Twenty-four

3 SOPHOMORE HISTORY Errol Macknight, President; Charles Chamberlain, Vice-president; Wilma Chenoweth, Sec'y-Treas. As the end of our second year at Cedarville College draws to a close, we look back to see what we have done and what has been done to us. We began our Freshman year with thirty-seven students. We went through all of the necessary initiation features as well as could be expected. As the year progressed we became more used to the routine of college work, doing our best in all we attempted. At the opening of our Sophomore year we found but twenty-five of our original class returning. We have continued through this year to take an active part in all college activities. At the end of this year we shall lose some more students, some finishing the two year normal work, while others advancing to the Senior class through summer school work. First Row: Wham, Coulter, J.

FRESHMAN HISTORY John Richards, President; Dorothy Anderson, Secretary: Glenna Ackerman, Treasurer; Donald Trout, Vice-president. In the fall a large class of bewildered Freshmen entered college. To lead them through the hardships of that first year they electedJohn Richards, President; Donald Trout, Vice President; Dorothy Anderson, Secretary, and Glenna Ackerman, Treasurer. After the week of hazing, climaxed by the Freshmen triumphat the annual tug-of-war, was over, the class began to take an active part in college life. Their contributions to the various organizations have been: to basketball, Swaim, Harris, Waddle, Wallace; to baseball, Harris, Waddle, Ackerman; to tennis, Swaim, Corry, Wallace; to the male quartet, Trout, Richards, Corry; to debate, West; to the Orange and Blue Serenaders, Ritenour, Anderson, Skinnell; to the Gospel Team, Gordon, Angell, Grube. Several very successful Freshmen feeds have been enjoyed by the class—in fact, by the entire college. And with this record the class of '37 has taken its place in the life of Cedarville College.

Turner, Hill, Wheeler, Tanner, Gormley SPECIAL STUDENTS This year we are glad to have in addition to our regular student body, several special students. Four of them are graduates of Cedarville College, three of whom have returned, after some teaching experience, to add to their work. The others are taking part-time work in special fields. PRACTICE TEACHERS Cedarville College has sent many efficient graduates into the worlds of industry, ministry, and service, but she is best known for the excellent teachers which she sends forth. Much of this success is due to the earnest and continued efforts of Professor Hostetler, the advisor of the embryo teachers. Professor Hostetler is a willing helper, a truthful and untiring advisor, and a friend at all times. This past year he has been assisted in the normal department by Mrs. Helen Jacobs, who has directed the training for elementary teaching. First Row: Smith, Crager, Cultice, Stevenson, H.

The officers were Homer Murray, President; Walter Kilpatrick, Vice-President; Regena Smith, SecretaryTreasurer. The outstanding accomplishment of the year was the organization of a new school publication called The Whispering Cedars". This bi-weekly news magazine was welcomed by each member of the student body as a means of "cussing and discussing'' many interesting phases of our college life. The organization of a Student Council, to cooperate with the faculty in various matters, was another bright spot in the work of the year. Both the school paper and the formal organization of a Student Council were first proposed at a joint meeting of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. cabinets early in the fall, and each project fills a lon-gneeded place in Cedarville College life. Cooperation is one of the essential features of any successful enterprise. The student body cooperated in a helpful manner, and much of the success of our Student Council of 1933-34 is due to this element.

CEDRUS STAFF Growth is perhaps the most interesting thing in the world to watch. As the pictures have been taken, the contracts awarded, the write-ups brought in, and the other features which make up a college annual have been completed, the members of the staff have become increasingly interested in watching the 1934 Cedrus grow to its present form. The countless details of annual construction have occasionally kept staff members working far into the wee small hours, but no one regrets the time and effort spent, for the experience has been valuable and engrossing. While the elected Cedrus staff, under the direction of the editor and business manager, and with the guidance of the faculty advisor, has been responsible for the actual publication of the book, it was only with the enthusiastic support of the other students, the alumni, the engravers, printers, binders, and photographer with whom we worked, and the business men and good friends of the College everywhere, that we have been able to complete our task. Portrayal of the ideals and the spirit of Cedarville College's first forty years has been the staff's chief aim as it Prepared this book for Cedarville's friends everywhere. If, on the sixtieth, seventieth, and eightieth anniversaries of the school, the reader can carry this then-worn volume to his favorite chair by the fire-place, and turn the pages with smiles of recognition and heart-throbs of memory alike, we will feel that we have fulfilled our trust.

Eleven-twenty o'clock Wednesday morning usually found most of the young men in college in attendance at the Young Men's Christian Association meeting. Through the able efforts of program chairman, Carl Ferguson, and his committee, many interesting programs and speakers were presented. The inspiring lectures and entertaining speeches given by Professor Booker of Wilberforce, Dr. J. Harry Cotton of Columbus, "Bob" French of Clifton, Rev. Mr. Hartman of Osborne, and Y. M. State Student Secretary, Ralph Garner, will not soon be forgotten. During the course of the year several joint meetings were held with the Y. W.C. A.; also programs were exchanged with the Wilmington Y. M. C. A. In addition, the organization, at various times heard talks by members of the faculty and local ministers as well as by members of our own student body. The Y took an active part in promoting plans for the increased enjoyment of school life, and can point to several notable accomplishments, and a state-wide reputation as a live-wire organization.

The Young Women's Christian Association is the one group on the campus in which every girl is interested, with all its activities built around the needs of its members. This year almost every girl was a member of the Y. W. and the spirit of fellowship and cooperation which was manifested warmed the hearts and spirits of those responsible for the welfare of the organization. When we leave Cedarville College we may forget many things which we have learned, but we will always treasure memories of Y. W. meetings and parties. The meetings were varied and each seemed to meet some need or desire of each person. The three phases of life to be developed, the physical, the mental, and the moral, were stressed in various ways. From the Welcome Tea and the Committal service to the Mother-Daughter Banquet, we have enjoyed every minute of fellowship together. First Row: Cultice, Social Chairman; C.

BOARDING CLUB At the sound of the bell, there is a general rush for favorite positions along the firing line at the dinner table. As the meal progresses, the students toss puns as well as buns at each other. The enthusiasm expressed by everyone shows that there is one common interest at the twice-daily "meetings" of the Boarding Club to cater to the "inner man." The Club each year elects a student to serve as steward. Along with the job goes the honor of collecting from the hungry students and paying the bills. Around the tables of the Club many lasting friendships are formed, and the fine food is only one of many features that makes hours spent in the Library basement among the most pleasant memories of college days. Bud Chamberlain capably fulfilled the duties of steward this year; and the twenty to twenty-five regular "eaters" were always more than satisfied with the meals prepared by Mrs. Morton and jolly, long-suffering, good-natured Mrs. Peterson, whose perennial good humor and friendliness was never ruffled.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT Perhaps there is no department in the college which the students enjoy more, or which gives more pleasure to those outside the school than the department of music. This year Found forty-five students enrolled in the department under the efficient direction of Mrs. Margaret J. Work. Each of these forty-five has received training that will be of great value to him, and each has really enjoyed his work. The department of music had one graduate this year—Dorotha Corry—who completed the work in the Department of Piano. Miss Eleanor Bull appeared in a Junior recital in piano, April 26, 1934. A new musical organization in the college is the orchestra which was organized to play at the college activities the last week of school. Each of these organizations has had a very successful year due to the faithfulness of the members and the untiring efforts of the director, Mrs. Work. First Row: Stevenson, D. Hartman, Bennett, E.

GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club of twenty members meets twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday, to sing an hour together. Theyhave memorized many selections, both sacred and secular, which they have used in their public appearances. The Glee Club took part in two recitals this year, one at Christmas time, the other during the last week of school. They sang at the Lincoln Day program at Wilberforce, and presented sacred concerts at the First Presbyterian Church in Xenia and the U. P, Church of Cedarville. MIXED CHORUS The Mixed Chorus, an organization of both boys and girls of the college, meets each Monday and Wednesday night for an hour's practice. These practices are always pleasant events, though quite a bit of work is mixed in with the pleasure in memorizing a large number of selections. This organization also appeared in public recital twice a year, took part in the "International Sing" at Wilberforce, and helped out with various college programs. QUARTETS Cedarville College is proud of its three quartets. The Cedar Needles are Eleanor Bull, first soprano; Maxine Bennett, second soprano; Doris Hartman, first alto; Nina Stevenson, second alto, first semester and Dorotha Corry, second semester; Mrs. Work, accompanist. These girls have entertained various clubs and churches in Cedarville and surrounding towns. They appeared before the Columbus Epworth League Conference and presented sacred programs in the First Presbyterian Church, Xenia, and at the Greene County Infirmary. The Orange and Blue Serenaders were also very popular and much in demand at college and town functions. They were Anna Jane Wham, first soprano; Georgia Skinnell, second soprano; Dorothy Anderson, first alto; Harriet Ritenour, second alto; Genevieve Jamieson, accompanist. Last but not least is the men's quartet which has taken the name, Neapolitan Knights. This quartet consists of Donald Trout, first tenor; John Richards, second tenor; Robert Harriman, first bass; Eugene Corry, second bass. Though this was the first year for all of the members, they learned to harmonize very well. They appeared several times in Cedarville and in South Charleston and Xenia. Page Thirty-nine

DEBATE QUESTIONS OF THE PAST I927—Direct Primaries I932—Recognition of Russia, and Women in Industry I933—National Regulation of Banking I934—Powers of the President Page Forty DEBATE When the call for debaters was sounded this year, two of the old guard returned, bringing with them seven others —a total of nine who aspired to uphold in verbal combat the honor of old C.C. The question selected for study this year was "Resolved, That the powers of the President be substantially increased as a settled policy (Powers as of March 4, 1933)". After several weeks of intense reading and research, the squad was divided into three teams, consisting of Kilpatrick, Trubee, Joe West as "yes men" and Robe, Pyles, Jane West, Ferguson, Harriman and Burkert as the two negative teams. On the 23d of February the teams under the management of Dean Steele journeyed forth to meet the enemy at Manchester third annual College Invitational Debate Conference. "Veni, Vidi, Vici" in the passive voice tells the story in nine out of ten cases, the lone victory being that of the affirmative team over Goshen. However, the new members felt that they had learned what it was all about, as the girls' negative readily showed when they defeated Rio Grande in the last debate of the season at Cedarville. The affirmative team engaged in debates with Morehead, Wilberforce and Rio Grande. Thus the curtain rang down on debate at Cedarville for '34, but with six experienced debaters returning next year, prospects are bright for C. C.'s return to the sensational win records of recent years.

MONKS' CLUB President Paul McLaughlin Vice-President Homer Murray Secretary-Treasurer Eugene Spencer Accompanist Elsie McLaughlin Soloist Maxine Bennett Faculty Advisor Dean C. W. Steele At the beginning of the school year the ministerial students of the college organized the Monks Club for the dual purpose of doing social work and promoting closer contacts for the embryo ministers. The chief activity of the club was to conduct services at churches in near-by communities when asked to do so. During the first semester regular meetings were held each week to discuss various problems and plans for the club. During the second semester the club held services in many of the surrounding towns, including Dayton, Xenia, London, Columbus, Plattsburg, Carlisle, and Selma. The club conducted a number of services at the local churches, and held special services at other churches in connection with evangelistic meetings, Easter programs, and other similar occasions. In the final meeting for this year, the Club joined with the Girls' Glee Club in presenting a program at the First Presbyterian Church, Xenia. At all of these services a complete worship program was presented featuring three speakers and special music. Upon several occasions the club was assisted by Mrs. Work and members of the music department of the college. Next year the Monks' Club will continue with its work, as all but one of the members will be back. It is hoped that the organization may enlarge its membership and thus increase its scope of service next year. Membership is open to any student who wishes to prepare himself for any type of social service, or who is interested in the Gospel ministry. Page Forty-one

WHISPERING CEDARS One of the newest organizations is the staff which edits and prints our bi-weekly paper, The Whispering Cedars.'' The staff chosen by the student body has proved its worth by giving to the students a paper chuck-full of news and happenings about campus life, as seen by the school paper editress, Carma Hostetler, and her assistants, Jock Murray, business manager; Regina Smith, sports editress; Art Donaldson, features editor; Bill Macknight, sports editor; Jane West, Eleanor Coulter, and Helen Baker, typists. WOMEN'S ADVISORY BOARD The college owes a great deal to the untiring efforts of the members of the Women's Advisory Board, who have furnished the means whereby many needed improvements have been made in our college. At the annual Homecoming Banquet, the Women's Advisory Board provided a bounteous meal, and during the year the Board has served banquets for other organizations. These faithful women work for no selfish interest but spend their profits for worthy purposes. Their latest contribution to the college is the redecorating of the office.

CT THREE . . . . ATHLETICS
FORTY YEARS OF ATHLETICS Cedarville's athletic career has been a checkered one, going from good to bad and worse to better. The history of athletics begins simultaneously with the history of the college, for, while no athletic organization was sponsored and financed by the college in the early days, neither was it discouraged. The youths, inclined to display their prowess on the gridiron and diamond, were given all encouragement and the interest which these students had for developing their abilities in handling the pigskin and bat is manifested by the fact that they were willing to employ a coachat their own expense. Mr. Blackburn was the first coach employed by the college, taking his position in 1921. Following Blackburn the men at the head of the athletic department of the college were C. P. Warner, J. A. Talcott (who coached one year in addition to his regular duties as music director), E.F. Diedrich, A. M. Tuttle, R. M. Borst and the present coach, J. W. Ault. The football season of 1896 stands out as one of the highlights in Cedarville's athletics. Much credit for the success of the team that year is due J. C. Scarf, who coached the team and played the position of left-half. The record of scores for the season is quite interesting and one about which Cedarville will long boast: Cedarville, 0, Xenia, 0; Cedarville, 14, Antioch, 0; Cedarville, 2, Wittenberg, 0; Cedarville, 36, Wilberforce, 0; Cedarville, 40: London, 0; Cedarville, 4, Wilmington, 4. On this greatest of all teams played some of our prominent alumni, namely C. C. Morton, J. A. Orr, J. R. Harper and Wallace Ilife with his brothers Walter and Harry. Cedarville has not always been so successful, and there have been long periods when they played losing games, but always the spark of life was there and was kindled into flame at intervals. In 1903 Alford Memorial Gymnasium was dedicated and this year the first basketball teams were organized. The girls had a prominent place in this sport. Cedarville has the distinction of having the first girls' team in the state. A notable event occurred in 1911 when the girls' team defeated Miami University, for nine years undefeated, and wrested from that school the championship of Ohio. Student publications of those days give the information that the girls had to play a game in order to draw a crowd for the boys' game. In recent years Cedarville has been more victorious in baseball than in the other sports, defeating colleges with much larger enrollments. While our college has experienced its bright days and days of darkest gloom in its athletic career it has maintained through its four decades a never failing spirit of loyalty and fair play. Page Forty-five
PHYSICAL EDUCATION The physical education department this year, under the direction of Coach Ault and his able assistants, "Red" Murray, "Smitty" Smith, and "Bob" Ross, offered a complete and varied program, to meet the needs of the students, at the same time providing interesting competition. "Red" conducted a program of calisthenics, softball, volleyball, basketball, and soccer for the men. "Smitty's" program is reviewed on the following page. "Bob" had charge of special classes in wrestling, boxing, tumbling, and fencing. Richards and Corry proved outstanding in wrestling; G. Ross and Macknight were outstanding in boxing; Tobias, Bull, Dobbins, and West showed fine form with the foils: Meyers and Cappola demonstrated excellent possibilities in tumbling. Mount and Anderson, two feminine aspirants to "King of the Blade," were not greatly outdone by the male fencers in consideration of the fact that they were late additions to the ranks of this sport. Soon after college had started, Coach Ault appointed eight men from the student body to act as captains for intramural volleyball teams. A tournament was staged for the benefit of the blood-thirsty student body. Sad to relate, after many titanic struggles and closely contested games, only one team was able to call itself champion. However, like all good champions, the winners took that coveted honor with good grace. Members of the winning combination were L. Ross, Mills, McCallister, Richards, Spencer, Tobin, R. Ross (captain). At the close of the varsity basketball season, another colossal struggle for supremacy was staged in the innocent-sounding form of a class tournament in basketball. Little did any student know the ghastly chaos in which those martyrs were to struggle. For in these days to be chosen to play on a class team is a judgment of martyrdom itself. Eventually the officials, time and place were agreed upon, and so continued the history-making epoch of an ambitious Freshman class, who emergeJ triumphant out of the maelstrom. Page Forty-six
