Christopher James Hoefler Comprehensive able Milwaukee, WI Philip J. Hohulin Preseminory Bible Major South Bend, IN Entertainment One of the most important reasons for attending college is to have fun. Unfortunately, unlike most large universities and colleges, Cedarville College does not have the benefit of on exciting locale. Surrounded by cornfields and cattle, college students here are hard pressed for entertainment. Throughout its 100 years, therefore, the college's students have resorted to creating their own forms of entertainment. In the early days, life was simpler and quieter, and students were content to participate in country walks,drives, idle pranks,and freshman initiations. As the years passed, though, the activities became unique. During the thirties, new students were welcomed to the campus with a faculty/administration tea, and they closed the year with a mock wedding, usually secretly planned and clandestinely carried out. The fifties brought a genuine "Social Life Committee" who planned all the events of the year to keep the students busy. Each class and organization produced its own play and presented it to the rest of the student body. The Student Wives' Fellowship continued its activities through the fifties and put on teas and banquets for the ladies.

Today, too, Cedarville students have found new forms of entertainment. The lovely Cedarville Lake provides canoeing, relaxing,and duck watching in the spring and skating and hockey in the winter. Few students miss those unbelievably unusual basketball games, complete with the Bee and pep band; and the intramural schedule includes every existing sport and some athletic activities which exist nowhere outside of this little village."Young's runs" are a never-fail solution to almost any problem: studies, boredom, loneliness. And there is always, of course, plenty of country for a walk or bike ride. Cedarville College students may never know what really motivated those men long ago to build a college in this "unique" setting, but its creative students somehow manage to find ways of making life fun here in the cornfields. , Seniors 89 4
