Dear Alumni: Memories of the years, forty-one years, course vividly to me. Mingled in these are gladness and sadness, sunshine and sorrow; but withal joy is transcendant. Some of your number, very dear all of them, have gone on to the felicities of their heavenly home. We miss them, 0 so much, but we rejoice in their victory and reward. We remain, president and alumni, to carry on for their and our college. With the years Cedarville College has grown in possessions of buildings, campus, endowment, and annuities. Our student body has increased, and our curricula of study have adjusted to the enlarging needs of the students and the requirements of a changing world. Cedarville College has widened its influence throughout the United States and foreign countries. Its alumni number over six hundred. They are in all vocations, and in all parts of the world. As changing times have brought their changes these things abide: the faith of our founders in God, the Church, and the might of right; our hope for greater and better things for Cedarville College; and our genuine love for you, our alumni, the sons and daughters of Cedarville College. In closing, the challenge comes to you and to me to cooperate to continue and enlarge the power of Cedarville College for the service of fellowmen and the gloory of God. Yours sincerely, President of Cedarville College. College Office, Cedarville, Ohio April 16, 1936 Page Tweive

Our confusion was further increased by the trials of freshman week. Nevertheless, under the leadership of William Reed, we managed to adjust ourselves to college life. The next year only twentysix returned and choosing Errol McKnight for our president, we entered with confidence all the fields of college activities. Under the leadership of Russell Murray, we found our twenty Juniors a busy group indeed. It meant a lot of cooperation to put over the Junior-Senior Banquet and our class play entitled "Shirt Sleeves." At the beginning of our Senior year, we reelected our Junior officers, refilling the vacancies. Among other activities, our class enjoyed a covered-dish dinner and theatre party. Our class play, "Big Hearted Herbert" will close our participation m the activities of Cedarville College. Page Nineteen
JUNIORS President Paul Angell Dayton, Ohio Vice-President Gale Ross Cedarville, Ohio Secretary Esther Waddle Springfield, Ohio Treasurer John Tobias Cedarville, Ohio JUNIOR HISTORY With last good-byes, words of advice, and a very "scared" feeling, forty Freshmen boarded the train of events in September, 1933 for a four-year trip. That year we had as our conductor, John Richards. Very much to the embarrassment and the surprise of the Sophomores, the "little Freshies" won the annual tug-of-war. This was the first time for many years that the Freshmen had succeeded in conquering the Sophomores. Another Thing That proved that our class was unusual was the fact that the Freshmen succeeded in having two parties without the usual interruptions of the upper classmen. During this year our class contributed three members to baseball and basketball. These members were: Joe Waddle, Harry Wallace, and Gale Ross. By the end of this year we began to feel as though we were really college students. In the fall of '34 we again boarded the train, this time with a little more confidence in ourselves. Edwin Potee conducted us through this year. Our class took an important part in all of the activities of the college. At last we had become "somebody" and were no longer spoken of as ''green Freshies." At the end of this year several of our members went either into the car ahead or became engaged in their life work. This year, headed by Paul Angell, we seem to be speeding along fairly well. Our class play "Forever True'' was given both here and in Carlisle. The most important event of this year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. It was held at the Dayton Y. M. C. A. on Wednesday evening, May 13. The general theme of the banquet was The Launching of the Ship." After the dinner and the program the group attended Loew's Theatre wh6re we saw "The Unguarded Hour." We are eagerly looking forward to the last year of our trip and we sincerely hope that we may reach our destination without any serious mishaps. Page Twenty

Fortyfour sophomores answered the summons and climbed aboard. We were all anxiously waiting to begin our second annual journey through the land of knowledge. Our journey this year was not so difficult as the one preceding since we had become accustomed to changing scenes. We found new lands to explore, new mountains to climb, and pleasant sights awaiting us on every side. All was not ease and pleasure, but we were better prepared to withstand these hardships. A change had been made in the crew which manned our train. Those who carried us through a successful journey last year were: James Anderson, Eugene Reed, Christina Jones, and Eugene Haughey. This year another crew arrived to follow a new course. The members of the new addidition, John Gillespie, Max Michael, Edna Brill, Ethel May and James Anderson have kept eyes forward and the train upon the rails. The conductors of our train (of thoughts) found us willing to show forth our colors in all activities to which they presented us, athletics, dramatics, clubs, music, and those things which not only brought us pleasures but benefits as well. One very pleasant stop on the first part of the journey was at "Pastime Hall" (college gym). It was the first gettogether of the year for the class and its friends. Another stop was spent on the snow crusted hillside of the Knott homestead. Page Twenty-two
Whenever we came upon our friends and fellow explorers, the freshmen, we were kindly asked to joint them, to which we gratefully accepted. We tried to be good sports and bear our share of the responsibility of the journey. A few have dropped along the way but we have kept on with a smile. At the end of this year's lourney we shall reach a parting of ways, some to come back again next year, and others to journey into life to become conductors of other trains. To the Sophomores of '36 and the Juniors of '37 we say, "If you have not been successful in ail undertakings this year, strive harder. Next year start with a clean slate and do your best."

FRESHMEN FRESHMAN TRADITIONS Freshman Week Long Walks Home Freshmen Walk Backward No Chaperon at Feed Water at Willow Bend Girls Scrub Steps Suffer Through Exams Pajama Parade CLASS OFFICERS Fred Heifner Roy Linton Cletis Jacobs Richard Smith President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On September 10, sixth-five ambitious Freshmen entered Cedarville College. This class is proud to boast having the largest number of students in the history of the College. The upper classmen greeted us with a week of initiation. This included the girls wearing green hair ribbons and aprons, the boys using makeup, and all Freshies walking backwards on the campus. The last day' of initiation week the freshmen gave a chapel program for the entertainment of the upper classmen, and the tug-of-war was held at Willow Bend. (The Freshies got wet.) Our first meeting was held to elect officers. Those chosen were: President, Frederick Heifner; Vice President, Roy Linton; Secretary, Cletis Jacobs; Treasurer, Richard Smith. Our first feed was a success, despite the fact that it rained and the upper classmen helped us with the eats. The second feed was at the home of our president, Fred Heifner. It ended by the freshmen ditching the upper classmen and going to a show. Page Twenty-four
lErn• This semester, we have had one party which was at the home of the Kendig twins, near Xenia. The upper classmen were there to greet us when we arrived and shared the eats with us. When basket ball season opened, a good number of Freshmen turned out for practice. Linton, Walker, Gibson, Smith, and Thomas made the first ten with Gibson and Linton playing on the first team. The freshmen produced a fine team for the intramural tournament. In their first game they defeated the Seniors by a large score. The winner of the Sophomore-Junior game being the Sophomores, the Freshies met them in the second game, and winning this, took the tourney. Six Freshmen were awarded basket ball letters: Walker, Linton, Gibson, Smith, and the two Freshman cheer leaders, Helen Seamon and Cletis Jacobs. The class also contributed much good material to the college baseball team in the playing of Jackson, Walker, Linton, Thomas, and Thompson. Practically all the Freshmen are active in Y. M. and Y. W.work and many are in the music department. The Freshmen are very proud to have one member of their class on the College Debate Team. This student is Justin Hartman. Since we have had such a successful Freshman year, we will look forward to an active and equally successful Sophomore year.

CEDRUS STAFF The past few weeks have found a busy staff indeed, as we have worked to construct the 1936 Cedrus. Cameras have been clicking and typewriters humming in gathering material to fill the college annual. The work will soon be completed as far as the staff is concerned. It has been our desire to publish a book that will contain a source of memories for years to come. CEDRUS STAFF First Row: Hartman, Ritenour, Murray, Wham,West, Angell, Labig, Anderson. Second Row: Anderson, Buehler, Kuehrmann, Tobias, Waddle, Nelson, Brill, Johnston, Corry, Kimble. Page Thirty-two While the staff under the direction of the editor and guidance of the faculty advisor has been credited with the actual publication of this book, the work of students, alumni, photographer and publishers has been necessary for its successful completion. The staff is grateful to all who have in any way helped them in its publication. We extend a word of thanks to the business men who have assisted in the financing of this task. The staff offers the Cedrus of 1936 with the hope that it may serve as a lasting record of college life during the past year. May its pages become worn through use. To those leaving the halls of Cedarville College may it be the cord that binds them to their Alma Mater. May it be a memory book to which they may go to the past.
On December lO, the Cedrus Staff presented "The Quest". The play was of a serious type but It proved highly entertaining and was well presented. Caleb Armstrong, a once wealthy man, had the misfortune to be caught in the stock market crash shortly after his youngest son had been severely injured. The story of Caleb's struggle proved to be a very interesting story. Julien, his elder son, just entering college, and his two daughters, all somewhat pampered by riches, proved themselves "true blue" and helped their father win back his fortune. Mrs. Mulligan Provided the laughter to the play. Herbert, friend of Constance, learned a real lesson in living. The success of the play is largely due to the able direction of Miss Glenna Basore.

WHISPERING CEDARS STAFF Editor-in-Chief L Russel Murray Assistant Editor Franklin Tru bee Business Manager James Anderson Sports Editor Donald Buehler Features Editors Harriet Ritenour, Justin Hartman Art Editors Gladys Olinger, Ethel May Chief Typist Betty Fisher Assistant Typist Gladys Smith Under the editorship of Russel Murray, the College paper has been very successful in the third year of its existence. It has presented College news in a very interesting and enjoyable manner. In addition to the news, there have been many enlightening editorials written on College, local, and national affairs. The "scandal department" was evidently enlarged, and as a result, the editor's existence was rather perilous! One of the biggest improvements in the paper was the new method of printing it. During the last part of the year the paper was mimeographed, while formerly it was printed on the "ditto" machine. The paper had a larger subscription this year than ever before. (Could it have been concerned with the scandal department?) Whatever the cause, we're looking for a bigger and better paper next year.

;o1ird ;ge ler. enInd vas ;r's )er he )d, iar ed he er UINTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE Cedarville College in its fifth year of intercollegiate debating was represented by eight students: Affirmative—Ruth Kimble, John Tobias, James Anderson, and Joseph West. Negative—Justin Hartman, Harold Shaw, Harry Wallace, and Donald Burkert. Mrs. J. W. Ault acted as debate coach. The question for debate was, Resolved: That Congress should be empowered to override by a twothirds vote of both houses decisions of the Supreme Court declaring actions of Congress unconstitutional. There were debates scheduled for the early part of the season, but because of the inclement weather, they were postponed. Thus it happened that the Cedarville teams entered the North Manchester Convention without any previous experience. Upon examining our schedule after registering in North Manchester, we found that we were to debate all large colleges and universities since Cedarville, because of previous records, is entered in Class A. Nothing daunted by the size of the universities represented by their opponents, the Cedarville teams put forth their best efforts and as a result of the debates scheduled, Cedarville defeated Chicago University, North Manchester, and Evansville. After the Convention, Cedarville met Rio Grande with whom we divided the victory —the Affirmative losing and the Negative winning. The season closed with two non-decision debates with Dayton University. This year the squad loses Donald Burkert and Joseph West. With six members remaining, we are hoping for another successful year during 1936-37. DEBATE SOLTAD Justin II a rtman, Harold Shaw. harry Wallace. Donald Burkert, Mrs. J. W.

Every Wednesday, the Y. M. C. A. meets at the chapel hour. Many varied programs were presented this year by our program chairman, Eugene Corry. We were entertained by speakers, musical, chemistry, and physics programs. All of these were instructive as well as enjoyable. The Y. M. entertained the College with the Hallowe'en party this year. The College Minstrel given on the twenty-sixth of March was a great success. The Minstrel being built around the naval theme, the boys sailed away on a trip on the good ship U. S. S. Cedrus. AdY. M.

The crew returned to the tune of "Shipmates Forever." The voyage was a success, the minstrel was a success, and the Y. treasury was a success. Compulsory attendance at Y. has been removed. This new plan has proved satisfactory and also has given a better attitude towards the meetings. We feel that the Y. as in the past has proved itself a worthwhile organization and we are expecting a like organization next year.

A. began the year 1935-36 with an informal tea at the home of Mrs. Margaret Work during the opening week of college. At the tea each girl became better acquainted with the members of the freshman class who were to become their fellow Y. W.C. A. members. A musical program had been planned by Mrs. Work. In November, the Committal Service, written by Miss Frances McChesney, was held in the Pres. loyterian Church. In this service, each of the members oT the Y. W. C. A., as well as the cabinet, makes her pledge to the Y. W. In October, the girls drew their secret pals. There followed many weeks of unexpected gifts and mystery which were climaxed at the Christmas party at the home of Miss Mary Williamson. Before the party, the girls sang Christmas carols before the home of the beloved Mrs. Steele who has been ill for the past months.

The Philosophic Literary Society is one of the oldest social groups connected with our College. For years this society has been holding bi-weekly meetings in the basement of the Carnegie Library. This year we have had several well-attended meetings. Programs that were very interesting and instructive were given by college students and also by guest artists. Some of our interesting guest speakers have been: Mr. King Creswell, a World War veteran; Bob Confarr, a commercial artist from Selma; and Mrs. Paul Orr, who told of her western trip.

Another outside meeting will be held late in the spring. The purposes of this group are to get college students better acquainted with one another, to promote public speaking and participation in campus affairs, and to inform students on the problems of the day. We are looking forward to another year of social activities and discussion during 1936 and '37. Page Thirty-eight
DRAMATIC CLUB OFFICER; First Row: May, Hartman, Heintz Anderson, Brill. Second Row: Reed, West, Ritenour, Porter. The Dramatic Club of Cedarville College is now closing its second year of campus activities under the direction of Mrs. Louise Heintz, head of the English department. Under the able direction of our officers, this Club has done much to forward the purposes for which it was established which are: To give to college students practical experience in acting, and in directing and managing theatrical productions and to give them a better appreciation of modern drama. The Club meets on the first and third Monday nights of each month, producing at each meeting a one-act play, directed and managed by the Club members. Thus far, the Club has presented the following plays: "Between Trains," "Fine Gold," "Alice's Blue Gown," "The Whole Truth," "Sauce for the Goslings," "Thursday Evening," and "Brain Storm." These plays have been presented before local groups. The Dramatic Club has several projects in view, such as obtaining a curtain and footlights and making scenery for our stage. We are hoping to secure a curtain, with the aid of our friends, before the end of the year. That the Club in the future shall prove as interesting an activity as it has for the past two years is the earnest desire of every member of the Dramatic Club. First Row: Sanderson.

The Girls' Glee Club has accomplished many worthwhile things during this year under the direction of Mrs. Margaret J. Work. In the fall, the Glee Club, assisted by the Girls' Quartette, broadcasted over Station WHIO in Dayton. During the year we have given religious programs at the 0. S. and S.0. Home in Xenia, at the Methodist Church in Piqua, at the United Presbyterian Church in Xenia, and in Clifton.

In addition to their group activities, each member has derived a greater appreciation of good music, and a fine spirit of cooperation during the school year. The girls of the Glee Club wish to thank Mrs. Work for her work and her patience. We are also grateful to Dr. Mac Chesney, to the drivers of the cars, and to all who made this year possible.

The mixed Chorus has been a prominent organization in the music department of the College. offers excellent training in music to both men and women. Every Monday and Wednesday evening it meets for rehearsal, under the talented direction of Mrs. Margaret J. Work, professor of music. The Chorus has appeared at many college functions during the year. Among which were the Wilberforce International Music Festival, the Peace Program, the Men's and Women's Bible Reading Contests and Baccalaureate. Besides, the Chorus has made its appearance in the two music recitals during the year. The Chorus is fully vested and has given Choral programs in different churches during the year. Any college student is eligible to try out for membership in the mixed chorus. This year the chorus consists of twenty-five members with Miss Dorotha Corry serving as Accompanist. MALE QUARTETTE This year after approximately ten performances in Cedarville, Piqua, Bellbrook, Xenia, Carlisle, and Bowersville, the quartette, accompanied by Mrs. Work and Anna Jane Wham, were sent on a tour of Southern Illinois. Later the boys accompanied Mrs. Work to Kentucky. The quartette feels that its fine success is due to two things: work and Work. Angell, Richards, Sanderson, and Garlough. Page Forty-one
COLLEGE BOARDING CLUB Of all the groups on the campus, the College Boarding Club enjoys the unique distinction of being the only one that, even though lacking organization and executive officers of any kind, meets in regular session twice daily each day that college is in session. Each September sees a few of the old faithfuls and many new faces gathered around the table. At first there is a sort of nervous tension and no one is quite at ease, but that soon is eliminated, and it is not long until all are like one happy family. They soon learn each others likes and dislikes —spinach, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.—and the newcomers learn to call for "goo" when they want spread. BOARDING CLUB First Row: Faulk, Gibson, Linton, Reed, Batdorf, McClella n, Wham, Fisher, Wones, Pierce, Basore. Second Row: Floyd. Long, McKnight, McDonald, Sinks, Trubee, Wallace. Table conversation is widely varied, politics, professors, movies, feeds, this girl, and that fellow and so on. Mrs. Morton is the efficient manager of the Boarding Club, and she and Mrs. Stuckey certainly know how to satisfy healthy young appetites. We are grateful to them for catering to the special likes of our members at certain times. This organization is one of the best on the campus for the furthering of friendship and social activity. Everyone who has spent a year at the boarding club feels that he knows his fellow boarders better than he would have otherwise. Pd ge Forty-two
D• 31 The present Cedarville College Gospel Team was organized as the Monks Club in the fall of 1933. It was organized by a group of ministerial students and others in the college, who wished to express themselves in Christian Service. It pays no heed to denominational lines, as students of various denominations work harmoniously in it. Of the charter members, six are in school this year; two of them in Seminary and four in College. Two will be here next year. Other members have been added from time to time. The Gospel Team has given services in manv churches within seventy-five miles of Cedarville. Besides churches it has given services in London Prison Farm, Old Folks' Home, Good Will IndusNIONKS' CLL‘IB tries, and such places. This has been a splendid experience and training for the members of the team, and has doubtless been a help to the places served. Both the Captain and the Business Manager have been filling regular charges this winter. The Team will need recruits next year to keep it giving the best of service to those who need it. We trust that there will be those who will join it and keep it going forward in useful service. Captain—Paul McLaughlin Business Manager—Paul Angell Treasurer—Franklin L.

DELTA KAPPA SIGMA DKS This year the Delta Kappa Sigma Fraternity underwent a complete reorganization and is thriving as a result of it. This was accomplished under the leadership of the president, John Richards, as he was the only active member left in the college. In the fall, six pledges were initiated into the fraternity with a great deal of trial and tribulation with the help of some inactive members. The major problem facing the group this year was to find a suitable house. Finally a three-room apartment above the bank was rented. It consists DELTA KAPPA SIGMA First Row: Cummings, Tomlinson, Sisson, Swaim, Mc Corkell, Heifner, Gibson.

There is also equipment for cooking in the kitchenette. In the spring, seven more pledges were initiated into the fraternity. After serving on pledge duty for six weeks, they came to "Hell Week." This time was quite amusing for the old members, but not quite so funny for the pledges. in this initiation, were songs by Sisson Tomlinson. All of the boys proved at imitation. Outstanding and talks by quite adept We greatly appreciate the kind cooperation of some of the students of the college and members of the faculty and especially of our advisor, Coach Ault. We are looking forward to a bigger and better fraternity next year. Page Forty-four
5 In recent years, feeling a need of a social organization of girls which will uphold the ideals for which Cedarville College and its students and faculty stand, a movement has been on to initiate such a society. Last year a group of girls met, wrote the framework of a constitution which they thought met these needs, and submitted them to the faculty for approval and revision. This constitution has been duly approved and recognized by the members of the faculty and the Board of Trustees who have in turn given us a few rules and regulations compounded by them. We have chosen Mrs. Margaret J. Work as our taculty advisor. The name "Chi Sigma Phi" has been selected. The Greek letters symbolize: C— Character; S—Service; and P--philos or sisterly love. This year our group is composed of nine charter members. Next year new members will be pledged CHI SIGMA PHI C S P according to rules written by the faculty. The following officers were elected: President, Hazel Nelson; Vice President, Christina Jones; SecretaryTreasurer, Gladys Olinger. In April our group entertained with a theatre party after a covered dish dinner at the home of Dorothy Anderson. We are hoping that this group in the future will become one of the permanent organizations on the campus and will continue to uphold the ideals of Cedarville College.

LADIES' ADVISORY BOARD The Ladies' Advisory Board is composed of the faculty wives, wives of the Trustees, and ladies from the churches of Cedarville. The purpose of the organization is to assist the college in any way they can. They serve all the college banquets with the earnings from which they have furnished a well equipped kitchen and dining room. The past year they helped purchase the gowns for the college chorus and at the present time are helping to purchase a curtain for the stage in the gymnasium.

ATH LI .00`•••• Education that neglects the physical side of life falls short. At Cedarville College that function is carried on by the Physical Education Department. All of the students of the college are in this department at some time of their college life.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT COACHES: Dorothy Anderson Physical Education John W. Ault Director of Athletics John Richards Physical Education CHEER LEADERS Jacobs Seamon The Physical Education department this year, under the direction of Coach Ault and his able assistants, John Richards and Dorthy Anderson, offered a complete and varied program to meet the needs of the students, at the same time providing interesting competition. John, with the aid of Coach Ault, conducted a program of calisthenics, softball, basketball, and soccer for themen. The girls of the physical education class found an enthusiastic instructress in Dorthy. The class as a whole carried out a wellbalanced program of basketball, gymnastics, games and hikes. This year our cheerleaders were Freshman girls. They did work to maintain the school spirit and share the responsibility of a successful year. Page Fifty
KING OF THE BARS BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Part of the gym class at the north side of the gymnasium. The Physical Education class has had a very interesting and helpful program during the past year under the leadership of John Richards. In the fall much of the time was spent in playing softball, speedball, and soccer. The teams for all these games were taken from the class itself. At the beginning of each period throughout the year calisthenics were given to strengthen and to exercise the muscles. In spite of the many stiff necks and sore legs, all agreed that these exercises helped much in building up our bodies. During the winter months, the class spent its time in volleyball, basketball, tumbling, and acrobatics on the parallel bars. The class was divided into five teams and a tournament was held among these five in basketball and in volleyball. Some days were given over to field meets. In these meets, the boys from each team went through a certain set of tumbling and acrobatics on the parallel bars, and each one was awarded one, two, or three points according to the perfection of his performance.

BASKETBALL Cedarville College has had a more successful season this year. This can be attributed to two causes: better material and a better school spirit. We feel sure that if this spirit continues in the future as it was this year, the record of the team will reflect the improvement.

Out of a total of ten games played, our boys were able to capture six, making the very satisfactory record for the season read: Won 6, lost 4. There were several reasons for this exceedingly satisfactory record. In the first place there was a wonderful spirit demonstrated throughout the whole season. Both the team and the school as a whole seemed to feel that this was the year to do something in the way of winning some victories. So they just went out and did it. Furthermore, several Freshman recruits added a great deal of strength to the squad. No one was lost from the squad by graduation. This makes the prospects for next year all the more rosy. Letters were awarded to Waddle, Wallace, Ross, Swaim, Gibson, Walker, Linton and Smith. Cedarville 46, Urbana 28 The Yellow Jackets started the season by whipping a small but scrappy Urbana College team' by the decisive score of 46 to 28. This auspicious start was made upon the home floor. Page Fifty-two
