Never had I encountered oneso young with such a heartfor God. Thirty-seven yearslatersheremainsthesame. NowIknow her notonly in her faithfulness and loyalty to her God but she is also the same to her husband,her son,her daughter-in-law,her grandchildren,her sister, all her relatives and family,her friends,and certainly her students. Pat is truly a Proverbs 31 lady. Her gifts are many as manifested in her teaching,her music,and her decoratingathomeandoncampus.Sheis bright, full of energy,genuine,has a tremendous sense of humor and is, indeed,a personofintegrity. PatDixonistherealthing. Allwhoare privileged toknow herquicklygraspthefactthatthereis nosham nor phoninessinanyarea ofher life. God gave Pat wonderful,special parents who passed on to her a legacy of values. Her dad loved to work with flowers and so does she. Every year she looksforward tospringand theopportunitytoapply her marvelouscreativity to her yard and her flowers. Thank you, Honey, for your twenty-three years at Cedarville College. Much of what Cedarville is today is due to your touch. Thank you for being my wifefor over thirty-four years. Allof whoIam is becauseofmy Lord and you. You are the flower of my life,and I love you deeply. •Dr.Paul Dixon Photo by Scott Hu The queen of roller derby,Mrs. Dixon is ready for another challenge from her grandchildren.

Photo by ScottHuck Dear Mom(alias Grammy), In a recent game of Family Feud at the Dixon household, we were given the category of "What makesGrammy special?" Here are the top answers: Drew, your seven year old grandson, likes you because you have a long driveway. It gives him tons of room to ride his bike and roller blade. He also enjoysthosespecial momentswhenyoulaceup your roller skates and play roller derby with him. Five year old Benenjoysthe quarters yougive him when he finishes his cereal. Like his Grandpa Paul, he's an expert at collecting money for worthwhile causes. Your only granddaughter,Claire,appreciates all the pretty dresses you give her. Evidently she has inherited her grammy's unique flair for fashion. Baby Seth loves all the plants in your house. He especially likes the way they taste. As your only and therefore most beloved child (I think), there is much I appreciate about you. But three particular traitsstand out. First,youtaughtme to love reading and learning. Every time we wentto the mallshopping,you werequicktobuymeacomic book or sports book to read while you visited all the stores. Ilook backnowand realize thatallthose trips to the mall weren't to look for bargains,but were a ploy to get me to read - what an ingenious and inventive educational method! Thanks for sacrificing all those hoursin departmentstoresjust to teach me how to read. A second trait you passed on to me was your creativity. Anyonewhoknowsyouunderstandsthat your dignified and classy demeanor is only a front behind which hides a "wild woman" with a crazy streaka milewide. Thiswillingnesstotrynew things and to take risks is a mustin any creative endeavor. I remember that Halloween when you rented a casketfrom the local funeral parlor,putsome panty hoseover yourhead,and gaveoutcandyfrominside the casket. Some of those little kids are still having nightmares. Finally,I appreciate your commitmentand devotion. Youhavealwaysbeenaverydisciplined person who is dedicated to your family, work and God. Whether it is the way you keep the house spic and span or theflowers you planted in the backyard,you alwaysdothings welland withexcellence. And most importantly,you have chosen to use this giftedness to serve others: Dad and me, the college, Grace Baptist,and especially your grandldds. Thanks for helping me and my children see that Proverbs31is notdescribinga mythbutareality. We love you! 'Scott Dixon Left to right: Ben,Sarah,Dr.Dixon,Seth,Drew, Claire,Scott and Mrs.Dixon.

Remembering When ••• ANL Though the theme elicited different images from different people, the general sentiment, true to purpose, was one of"Remembering When." Nothing represented this diversity of memory more than the floats creatively constructed by individual classes and campus organizations. ADO members, with faces painted yellow and fringed with petals, remembered the time when dandelions bloomed plentifully, unscathed by Dr. Dixon's yearly campaign against their presence. Reminiscent of Charter Week lectures,theseniorclassfloatremindedeveryoneofthe time when Cedarville College was only a building in a cornfield.

Some arrived early on Thursday evening, but the majority of them arrived Friday. The Campus Activities Office gave each little brother and sister a free meal ticket as well as a complimentary basketball ticket to use for the weekend. The CAO, along with several individual organizations, also planned many activities in order to provide the family members with various styles of entertainment. These activities included the baseball card show and a Brass Choir concert. The late night skate and late night bowling followed these events. On Saturday, the siblings watched the men's and women's basketball games with Shawnee State, during which Keith Hurt proposed to his girlfriend Debbie Perkins. This happened during half time when Keith marched out in the Bee's costume to win Debbie's affection. Then after the game, the siblings participated in the Cupid's Bash party. Many also celebrated the weekend by making a Young's Run. Thisconcluded the weekend for thefamily members,butthe students and their families enjoyed the time they spent together. Capturing their time together on campus created special memories for grandparents and students alike, and was made possible by the Campus Activities Office.
"Deck the Halls" A Cedarville Tradition Photo by Todd Pettee Cedarville's Annual Christmas Open House The lights, the ornaments, the wrapping paper, the Christmas carols, and the candy--What does it all mean? It is the arrival of Cedarville's Annual Christmas Open House. Studentscome alive with the prospects ofgoing home, enjoyingChristmascheerand,last butnotleast,finishingfinals. Open Houses are a great way to break awayfrom thestudiesand toenjoy the Christmas spirit. Each ofthe halls and units picks atheme and thetransformationbegins,whether it turns out to be the farm complete with hay,the Retro 70's,the carnival with a kissing booth, the little town ofBethlehem,or something thatjustencompasses it all. A contest is the incentive to do one's best creating, and the winners get a free dinner (not just McDonalds either)! Everyone has different perceptions of Open Houses. Here areafew ofthe most popular: • For one night every year, guys can go into the girls' dorms and visit! •Girlscan visitinthe guys'dorms. •Free food! •A big messto clean up when it is all over. •Good fun and fellowship. •A great study break!

Live After a full week ofchapels talking about sexual purity,Thursdays Live came atjust the righttime to add the perfectfinale to the week. During the week,Mr.Warren had shared with the college family what the Bible says about sexual purity. He talked about how frustrating relationships can be and how taking a Biblical stand will strengthen a relationship instead of weakening the relationship. Thursdays Live acted this scenario out for us and put it into everyday Cedarville life using drama,music,and the video by Rick Cua entitled "Young Boy, Young Girl." Dr. Drullinger closed with a challenge to us using the phrase "Think Pink." The pink cards were distributed to help hold us accountable. He didn't give us another sermon, but what he said made us realize that we had to make a choice. The evening ended on an encouraging note, reminding us that despite what we have done, Christ forgives. Brad Palmer portrayed this with the song,"Friend ofa Wounded Heart." *Jody Wiedemann Jeremy Grinnell suggested that Jennifer Crawford and he pray together.

What are you doing this weekend? Whetherin Humanities,19th Century British Literature, Biology, or New Testament Survey, students all over campus wear the "Fridayface"ofanticipationfortheapproaching weekend. Their attention focuses on plans for rest, relaxation,and recreation,or a combination of these, rather than on the lecture material or lab reports. Granted, homework and studytime must hold a place in those plans, but what is a weekend without a little excitement? Students without cars optfor Open Heirs on Friday nights, while others may set up a volleyball match in the Athletic Center or invite theirfriendsforagameof ping pong in the Gavelyte,or take in a home basketball, soccer, baseball, track, or other intercollegiate game,depending on the season. The college also sponsors numerous activities during every quarter such as Late Night Ice/Roller Skate, Udders and Putters, horseback riding, canoeing, ski trips, and Reds games. Many Christian ministries also meet during the weekend. Special concerts and quarterly plays are also held in Alford Auditorium and the chapel. Forthose with vehicles,the planning possibilities seem infinite. King's Island is a great idea for the spring quarter; Dayton Bomber's games fit well with the winter term. Christian concerts are often held at Grace Brethren in Columbusand Memorial Hall in Dayton. Golfing and bowling are always worthy of consideration, and for the more culturally-oriented students, the hot spots include the Dayton Ballet, Opera, or a visit to an art museum. Avoiding Chuck's and eating out at Shoney's, Perkins,or Burger King is on the top ofsome students' lists for a Friday or Saturday night. And who could forget the mall? Whilesomestudentstakeaquick trip home with friendsonthe weekends,mostdostayon campus and make the most of it through a bit ofcreativity.

Christ Above All Graduatesof Cedarville Collegealways quickly respond to the question,"Whatdo you miss most about the school?" with "the daily chapel services." After graduation, they no longer have the Christian fellowship among peers or the weekly anticipation of hearing respected speakersfrom all around thecountry presentthe Word of God in a practical yet innovative way. President Dixon's Monday messages and the student chapel services on Fridays with this year's student chaplain Nathan Elmore were always eagerly awaited each week. Dr. Knute Larsen of the Chapel in Akron was this year's Fall Bible Conference speaker. The other fall quarter chapels featured Pastor Joey Johnson from the"House of Lord" Church in Akron, Alumni Week,the New Faculty Chapel, MIS Week, Day of Prayer with Professor David Warren,Dr.Don Jennings from Tacoma, Staff Chapel, Grandparents'Day Chapel,and special holiday and praise chapels. Winter quarter opened with Winter EnDr. Dixon applauses after a special number by the Symphonic Band. richment Week with Dr. David Jeremiah from Shadow Mountain CommunityChurch in California.

Photo by Todd Hill Searchingfor ajob? Christian School Recruitment Conference For many students the Christian School Recruitment Conference is the first interviewing experience: an occasion to make contacts that lead to more formal on-site interviews in the spring and summer months. Such was the case for Amy McWhinnie who was able to participate in an interview at a Florida Christian School en route to her spring quarter student teaching assignmentin Puerto Rico. Lynn Walter termed the recruitment conference "definitely worthwhile,"as it made possible a "very promising" interview over spring break. Though Stacy Smith attended the conference somewhat reluctantly, being interested mainly in public school education, she found that the interviewing process increased her interest in and awareness ofthe field of Christian education. From the superintendent's pointofview, Cedarville's Christian School Recruitment Conference is "an excellent opportunity to recruithighlycapableyoungpeople," stated Mr. Thomas Wittkamper from Heritage Christian School, Milwaukee. That their predecessors have been labeled as "highly capable" is something for which students currently in the interviewing process are grateful, and a trend that they certainly intend to continue. *Marcy Hintz Thejob fair offers opportunity for students who have graduated like Mike Vrbanac.

Italso allows students to improve their skills in the sport of their choice. There are no time-taxing practices, no terrifying try-outs, and the pressure to win is minimal. The Campus Activities Office permits any interested student to sign up individually or with a group for such sports as flag football, soccer, volleyball, and softball.

James T. Jeremiah Shapes Cedarville's Culture for 40 Years During Homecoming 1993,the college family and friends honored Dr. James T. Jeremiah for his 40 years of service to Cedarville College. Born in Corning, New York, he grew up in Johnson City and was graduated from Baptist Bible Seminary in that city. He married Ruby Lathrop in 1936 and pastored churches in Panama,New York,and Toledo and Dayton, Ohio. In 1953, Dr. Jeremiah was instrumental in the transfer of Cedarville College to the Baptist Bible Institute board oftrustees. Thefollowing year he left a successful pastoral ministry in Dayton to become the seventh president of the small college that was struggling to survive. During those early days, the Cedarville "family" conceptwasfirmlyset in place asadministrators,faculty,staff, trustees,and students worked together to keep the College going. In addition to hisadministrative and teaching responsibilities, Dr. Jeremiah could befound digging ditches,making concrete blocks, or driving a truck. Resources were sparse, and he spent much timetelling the Cedarville story totheGARBCchurchesto gain their support. During Dr. Jeremiah's 24-yearadministration, Cedarville gained stability and respect. Enrollment increased from 100 to 1,250 and buildings from eight to 37. The College added many new academic programs and gained accreditation from North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The chapel bearing his name was constructed in 1976. Dr. Jeremiah saw to it thatthousandsofyoung people received an education grounded in Scripture, equipping them to take Jesus Christ into a multitude of vocational opportunities. He stepped down from his office when he sensed that Cedarville, on the verge of a new upswing of growth, needed a younger leader. Dr. Paul Dixon reflects, "No incoming president ever had a greaterfriend orconfidantthan I have in Dr. Jeremiah." Dr. Dixon often states that it has been his privilege to build on theexcellentfoundation laid by his predecessor. Since becoming Chancellor in 1987,Dr.Jeremiah hascontinued to promote the College in churches and conferences nationwide. For many years his devotional broadcast"Light for Living" encouraged listeners. More recently he began "The Senior Advantage" radio program and his ministry with groups of seniors across the country.

R.A.Training Week Late in summer, while the flowers are still in full bloom and the parking lots yet remain empty,a group ofapproximately 100 studentsarrivesoncampusa weekahead of their peers. Known as R.A.training week,its purpose, according to Dean Bates, is to providethesestudents with thetraining that will enable them tofeel "competent to carry outa wide range ofsupervisory,administrative, counseling, and disciplinary tasks." Sound a little dry? Ask nearly any R.A.and they will tell you it is not. Although significant time is spent in meeting these objectives, their attainment is handled in a way that builds unity within the groupasa whole. Thissecondary purpose of building group unity is accomplished through quitea diversity of activity, not the least of which is the lineup of speakers called in to address topics relevant to their field of knowledge and experience. After corporately hearing the challenges offered by these speakers, the R.A.s are able to share among themselves the thoughts and ideas sparked by these lectures, thus making the learning experience a cooperative one. The Camp Birch rope course located outside Clifton is another traditional elementof R.A. training week. Involving the transversal ofa variety of bootcamp-typeapparatus, These R.A.s pose for a picture from a tree.

When the obstacles are conquered in their entirety, the R.A.s assemble together for a bonfire and cookout. "Eating," says Dean Bates, "always draws people together." But all pure motives aside,there must be some motivationalfactorthatpromptsthese R.A.sto sacrifice the last week of theirsummer for a series of meetings and learningrelated activities. Dean Purple suggests, "Bottom line,it is required ofthem."

It is also during this time, points out Doug Gentry,a second-year R.A. in Lawlor,that one is afforded the chanceto pilfer all of the good furniturefrom the unit. And the best perk of all?

Kennedy Pulls College Family Together When one has a heartache we all share the tears, and rejoice in each victory in thisfamily so dear." - from the hymn "Family of God." Once again the college family has come together to support a brother in trouble. On Tuesday, November 9, Scott Kennedy wasrushed tothe hospital after incurring a head injury during double overtime of an intramural soccer game. The college family rushed to help Scott rightfrom the beginning,Pastor Harold Green said. On the field,students laid a pile of coats around Scott to help prevent shock. Although most coats were given back,the two underneath him werecaughton the stretcherand went with him to the hospital. Immediately after the accident, P.G. received four phone callsfrom concerned students. He wasn't the only one either. Dean of Student Services Don Rickard,who lives close to the hospital in Xenia,also received a call. By the time P.G. got there, Dean of Men Jon Purple, and Lee Webb, the R.D. at Brock, had arrived. When he arrived at the hospital Green saw at least 25 students there. By the end of the night there were close to 60. "They were everywhere, in the waiting rooms,in the lobby, in the hallways. There were little prayer meetings going on all over the hospital," he said. At about 10 p.m., after receiving a reportfrom the doctor before Scott's initial surgery, P.G. and Erin Weaver,a friend of the family, went to pick up Scott's father at the airport. When they got to the hospital, hospital staff told Mr.Kennedy that Scott had just come out of surgery. P.G.said that he was relieved to hear the report because when he had left no one waseven sure that Scott would make it through the surgery. Dr. Randy Merriott, a 1985 Cedarville graduate and a graduate of Wright State Medical School,met with Scott'sfather. He said that he could not determine the extent of the injury and referred them to the neurosurgeon. He was able to reassure them that Scott's speech and sight would befine and he explained exactly what kind of an injury it was. At this point, P.G.asked the students to go home. It was now after 11 p.m. and many of them had been thereforfour to five hours. "There was really nothing else they could do by being there,so we asked them to go on back to the college," P.G.said. While Scott was unconscious in the hospital,the college family prayed and ministered to the family. During chapel on Wednesday morning, Dr. Dixon asked the entire student body and faculty to kneel and remember Scott and hisfamily in prayer. Many continued to go to the chapel throughout the day to pray for him. Otherscalled hometo ask their families to pray. On Friday evening, he regained consciousnessand recognized his parents. He was unabletospeak because he was on a respirator,but he was able to wave to his sister. Unaware of his situation, at first he tried to pull out the tubes and other equipment,butnurseswereable to calm him down. He had no memory of the accident and thought he had only been in the hospital one night. On Saturday morning, the doctor took him off the respirator. Theneurosurgeon wassurprised by his quick response to simplecommands.Hewasonly able to whisper at this point, and P.G. prayed with him and his family. By Sunday morning Scott was walking around, and on Sunday night he spoke on the video that was shown during Thanksgiving chapel on the Wednesday before break. At thattime,Scottwas mainly worried about his studies. Administration has given him permanent incompletes. These will allow him to retake classes or begin again where he left off. Before Scott left for home Saturday, November 20, he ran with his physical therapist. He said that he did not feel tired afterthescheduled run,and the therapist said that he looked well. P.G.said that Scott would be able to come back winter quarter, but his doctors recommended that he have a plastic plate put over the unprotected area of his brain before making that decision. For the plane trip home, the doctors recommended that Scottweara helmet to protect the injury. Afew days before the trip, he was given a biker's helmet. "People would come in and ask mewhat it was. When I told them whatit was for, they laughed. They laughed even morewhen I told them I wasn't goingtowear it," Scott said. He wasfrustrated that he had to ride a wheelchair into the airport. "I kepttelling them that I had just gone jogging three days before, and could definitely walk through an airport. Theydidn'twantmetogettired," he said. However, any time someonetold him to puton the helmet, he would tell them that he would put it on oncethey got to the airport. He avoided it until he was sitting down in the plane. Once there, he said he would wear it on the plane ride from Philadelphia to his home. By the time he got there, they realized that he wasn't going to wear it. "I went the whole way just carrying the helmet," he said. Scott said that going home was quite an experience. He wasn't allowed to do much of anything until after the second surgery."Forthefirsttwoweeks or so,I had no life. I sat around and wrote letters. I didn't like that at all," he said. For Scott, December 14 was a kind of Christmas. "After the surgery, I wasfinally able to do things,"hesaid.Thereal Christmaswaseven better. "Itseemed like I got more stuff than I ever did before. And it wasn't just me-- everyone in myfamily got morethan usual.Wespentmore than we usually do for each other. I didn't even care how much 1 spent for anyone. It brought my wholefamily a little closer. Isawacousin whocame in from Florida that I haven't seen in years. I guess we all appreciateeach othera lot more since the accident," he said. Many friends came to see Scott in the hospital, which reallyshowed him how muchthey cared. He said that he wastold beforecoming backthat hewas going to be a celebrity. "That's not what I want. I want to go back to normal life at Cedarville. I've had lots of people come up and talk to me. That part is great. Some people look at me and don't know what to say,so I just introduce myself. I especially want to meet all those people I didn't know who sent me cards," he said. •Melody Curtis 54 Student Life
