Career Day immust One of the programsthat Cedarville College prides itself in is the program of job placement. Students have many resources available to them for the purpose of helping them find placement in the careers for which they have studied. One of these resources is Career Day. Career Day began at the 'Ville about fifteen years ago, when the Career Services center invited businesses from various fields to come to Cedarville College to get a feel for what our students have to offer and to provide suggestions for the best ways to secure positions in their expected professions. Some interviews took place on that day, but mostly the students asked questions. In this way even the underclassmen could begin planning for courses and skills to help meet the demands of the job market. But where was Career Day this year? Instead of hosting one large event,the college planned smaller daysfor specific majors. The first Career Link Day involved the business and communication departments. Some classes in those two departments were cancelled that day so many students would be able to attend. Other events included days for engineering corporations, graduate schools, seminaries, social services and health centers. True to prediction, more businesses and students participated this year, so Career Link Days show promise in coming year. --Keturah Stork I I\II \I I'' I II I- I I \ ri •-• Photos by Eric Fiyelan student life

This fact is evidenced annually on Memorial Day,when an entire chapel service is devoted to remembering those men and women who have served in the armed forces throughout our country's history. The chapel service began with hymns of patriotism accompanied by the symphonic band. Members of each branch of the military from the college family and the community came to the platform asthe band triumphantly played each group's fight song. Standing together, we sang the familiar yet victorious words of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and recited "The Pledge of Allegiance." Mr. Ken Huffman, a 1950 graduate from Cedarville and an armed forces veteran, recited Johnny Cash's"Ragged Old Flag," a poem which tenderly honors our nation's symbol. The chapel ended with a presentation encouraging the student body towards political awarenessin thecoming electionsthis November.Though our eternal home may be heaven,we must be active on this earth by voting with wisdom and discernment. Broadcasting major, Dallas Hill, closed the service by recounting the circumstances surrounding Abraham Lincoln's famed writing and reciting of the Gettysburg Address.

It is because these qualities are demonstrated in Dr. Baker's life that she waschosen by the student body to receivethe title and the honorofFaculty Member of the Year. Mrs.PatXgnders bixon Mrs. Pat Dixon is a woman who wears many hats at Cedarville College. Her responsibilities are endless, and she is known for accomplishing each task with grace and style. Besides fulfilling the role of the president's wife, which includes attending numerous social engagements,conferences and churches with Dr. Dixon, Mrs. Dixon hascarved herown place at Cedarville College where she has been able to be used for the Lord. Mrs. Dixon has spent the past 25 years in the Language and Literature department teaching English and English Education. She is greatly appreciated there and will betruly missed asshe retires. Before Mrs. Dixon came to Cedarville College in 1971,she was building experience as a classroom teacher and as a supervisor of reading. This experience acted as a great asset when she came to Cedarville College. According to Dr. Merlin Ager,thechair of the education program, Mrs. Dixon has played an important role in the department. "She has a great balance between contentand methods. She has instituted a number of valuable clinical experiences in area schools which has prepared our English teachers for the "real world" and has created very positive relationships with thoseschools. She has served as a valuable resource for foreign students who need assistance in developing English proficiency. Her additional training in Teaching English asa Second Language(TESL)has prepared herfor that ministry as well as equipped her to initiate and be involved in several MIS ministries with a TESL approach. She has been a valued member of the teaching education team at Cedarville College." One of Mrs. Dixon's responsibilities ended three years ago when she resigned as the Miracle advisor, but her expertise and leadership in that area were greatly appreciated for twelve years. Even though she is no longeran advisor, the Miracle continues to benefit from her expertise as she occasionaly helps with proof-reading. The Miracle staff appreciates her involvement and recognizes her hard work and effort in laying a strong foundation for the yearbook. As Mrs.Dixon retiresfrom hetreaching responsibilities,she will be missed. But as she is still the president's wife we know that she will not be far away. She still looks forward to many days with her grandchildren, working with her flowers and decorating, and involvement with her husband's ministries. All of us at Cedarville College congratulate her on this achievement and wish herthe bestassheentersthis new stage of her life. brs.,sgllen teverly Monroe Dr. Allen and Dr. Beverly Monroe have made Cedarville their place of ministry for many years. Every faculty and staff member looks forward to the day when he or she can take a break and enterthe retirementstage of life. Forthe Monroes,it may not be the most relaxing stage of their lives as they intend to continue to minister through their traveling experiences. But traveling without commitments is something they have looked forward to and it promises to be an enjoyable time. Dr. Beverly Monroe is most recognized for her contribution to the education department. When asked about her accomplishmentsatCedarville,Dr.Ager (chairman of the Education department) said,"Dr. Beverly Monroe began teaching at Cedarville College after experience in several locations as an elementaryand specialeducation teacher. While at Cedarcliff elementary,she completed an M.A.atWrightState in Special Education. While at Cedarville College, she completed a doctorate in Education at Miami University of Ohio. Although she has taught many courses while at Cedarville College,she is best known for her first love--Children's Literature. She can be seen from time to time in her "Mother Goose's" apron with an armload of children's books. In recent years, she has been able to pass this love along to her grandchildren as well as to future teachers. Dr. Monroe is well known for being highly organized, hard working, and very insistent on high expectations for herself and her students. She is often in her office before 7a.m. and is one of the last to leave. She has travelled widely both in the US and overseas, often with her husband. She recentlyaccompanied a group of students to China to organize a school library for a Christian school. She anticipates doing similarly in other overseas locations in the future as well as serving as a resource person for ABWE in selecting children's booksfor translating into other languages. Her commitmentto professionalexcellence has been greatly appreciated and will be greatly missed." Dr. Allen Monroe has had a part in the life ofeverystudentwhohasstepped on campus with his Foundations of Social Science class,a general education coursefor every major. In January of 1966, Dr. Monroe joined the Cedarville College family as an Assistant Professor of Social Science. By 1969, he had been promoted to Associate Professor and in 1971, he becameafull-fledged Professor of Social Science, which is where he has remained forthe last25years. Many may not realize that before Dr.Monroecame to Cedarville he was an elementary classroom teacher for one year and a secondary teacher for six. Outside of school, Dr. Monroe has many interests. He is known on campus as a gourmet chef and has written a cookbook which compiles10yearsofteaching cooking classes. He has served faithfully in his community through research studies, lectures and positions held on the board of education in Cedarville and Xenia. Travel is another greathobby. Itseemsonlyfitting that in their retirementthey will be spending a great deal of time away from home. Although they both will be greatly missed at Cedarville College, we congratulatethem on this milestone in their lives and wish them the best as they spend these retirement years ministering together for the glory of God. faculty Articles by Brenda Krege
