MIRACLE, CEDARVILLE UNIVERSITY 251 N. MAIN STREET CEDARVILLE, OH 45314 August 22, 2005 This year holds so much potential and so much excitement, but already seems so different. This is evident in the changes that have taken place around campus, like the new sidewalk in front of the ENS that was built overtop the student-made pathway in the grass, or the addition of freshman plinko in SGA chapel to get Matt Shiraki a date, or the replacement of Stalkernet with Facebook in the Cedarville community. However, the important things always seem to remain the same. We still have all-in checks, Sunday-night pizza at Chuck's, and Pastor Rohm's famous "Giants in the Land" speech. Despite all the. adjustments, Cedarville is still the place where friendships are formed, preparations for the future are made, and memories that will last a lifetime are created. I am so excited to see what God will accomplish within the next nine months!

From the time we are born, until life as we know it ends, our story takes form. The cycles of our lives weave in and out, and from the little moments that seem so insignificant, we build qualities of love, faithfulness, and compassion. Dr. Merlin Ager has tong demonstrated these qualities to the students of the Education Department here at Cedarville University. As former chair of the Education Department and former dean of the School of Social Sciences and Professional Studies, Dr. Ager's dedication to his students is obvious to all. Outside of the classroom, he also demonstrates a dedication to his family, his God, and his community, through his faithfulness and loyalty. Dr. Ager graduated from Cedarville College in 1960, and upon graduation, became a middle school teacher and counselor in Madison, Wisconsin. Since then he received his Masters degree from the University of Wisconsin, and his Ph.D. from Ohio State University. Dr. Ager served as the elementary school principal of Dayton Christian Schools prior to teaching at Cedarville University for 39 years. He has served on numerous teacher certification evaluation and school accreditation teams, 8 Dedication been a member of the Cedar-Cliff school board for 24 years, and led Adult Bible Fellowship in his local church for 42 years. Above and beyond his duties as a college professor, he has mentored countless students, served alongside his wife, Beth, as Fit to Be Tied mentors and class advisors, and led MIS teams to Hungary for nine summers, where they have ministered in the church pictured above. Yet even with all his professional duties, Dr. Ager lives life within the moments -- moments of laughter with his family including his wife, Ruth; two daughters, Mindy and Debby; and three grandchildren, John-Paul, Abigail, and Jacob; cloudless afternoons soaping up his beloved Harley Davidson; and sitting in the stands and cheering on a soccer game. These moments demonstrate his passions. It is this combination ofaccomplishmentsand passions that proves how powerful of an influence one person can have when he chooses to live his life to the fullest and follow God wherever He may lead. Dr. Ager, 1982
Dr. Ager sits behind his desk, surrounded by the many papers and books that are commonly found in the office of a college professor. 'The 1998 MIS team to Hungary spent the summer teaching English and spreading the Gospel. Dr. Ager has led these teams for the past nine years and has built a relationship with Pastor Geza Basci, who has had a great impact on Dr. Ager's life. A Dr. Ager's three grandchildren, John-Paul, Abigail, and Jacob, celebrate Homecoming 2003 with their grandpa. IF Dr. Ager loves his Harley-Davidson bike and enjoys taking it out on the weekends for a spin with his wife, Ruth, sitting behind him. 4t Dr. Ager was the 2003 recipient of the Distinguished Educator Award, which is given to faculty members who exhibit truly exceptional performance in the classroom and have contributed greatly to both the intellectual and spiritual development of the students.

41 After driving that final bend in the road, I saw blue and yellow balloons and a huge "GETTING STARTED" sign. Finally, the day I'd been waiting for arrived: the first day of college. As people pulled into Cedarville University, they could feel the excitement, anticipation, and nervousness in the air. "I was really overwhelmed by how nice everyone was. I thought Cedarville was the place for me to be. Everyone made me feel at home," reflected Sarah Eldridge. After acquiring a pile of papers and a $50.00 room key, many students went to the bookstore. "What? Are you kidding me? That book is how much?"Amy Seaton replied when she bought her first set of college books. - Now that half of the day and all of my summer earnings had vanished, it was time to finally see the dorm room: the place I had been waiting for all summer. As my parents drove to the parking lot of my dorm, a group of upperclassmen were ready to unload my car. "Wow, this is bigger than I thought it would be... needs a couch though," exclaimed Mark Phillips as he saw his room for the first time. As my mom helped unpack my belongings and hung up my clothes, my dad found a spot to relax and coot down after all of the massive checks he had just written. Once we were done moving in, I thought I would have three days to relax and prepare my brain and heart for school. How wrong I was! After meeting with my small group, I received a paper full of meetings listing various places and times where I had to be. And students thought that college was just all fun. All I can say is...Welcome to Cedarville! 4 Freshman Alison Hatch receives much-needed unloading assistance from her brother, who is fortunate enough tocatch a glimpse of dorm life before he arrives at Cedarville next year. Alison remembers it being "quite difficult to set up the room." -A. Senior and Printy RA Bethany Kirkendall prays with freshman Natalie Cook before she starts her first year at Cedarville. Bethany says, "I tried to do this with all my girls and their families as they moved in to show that I genuinely care for each of[them]."
44 For Senior Phil McCune (pictured with the microphone), the Getting Started tradition of the "500 Miles Dance" is one of his "favorite memories from Getting Started when [he] was a freshman." He says that performing the dance for the new freshmen was a "Cedarville dream." Audree Goodew,sophomore,joins her fellow Cross Country team members in assisting the freshmen move into their dorms. Audree says that she "loved how everyone is in the streets and packing out the dorms in a flurry of activity." Freshman Shannon DeRusha listens closely to Career Services representative Mandy Hutchinson. She says, "I thought that I wouldn't know what to do and be overwhelmed with registration, but it went surprisingly well and was a lot of fun!" "r Future Faith roommates Kelly Miller and Christen Price (freshmen)find the adjustment process to be rather harmonious -- so much so that their two families shared a picnic lunch after moving the girls in. -is Freshman Dan Lagan revels in the festivities of the Early Arrival party. Dan recalls "just walking around the circle trying to introduce [himself] to as many people as possible." 4,- Freshman Tim Labrado learns a valuable lesson: "I am definitely going to take advantage of Classifieds."
The beginning of a new school year is a busy time for everyone, with the tedious task of unpacking, the renewal of old friendships, and the emergence of new acquaintances keeping everyone on their toes. Amid the distinctive scent of seasonal heat and the tail-end of summer construction projects, students clambered back into town, ready for a fresh year and the commencement of the annual Fall Bible Conference. This year's conference was held over four days and began with an address from our president, Dr. Brown. He carefully outlined the route on which he would be leading us this year through his chosen theme,"Engaging the World for Christ." Following Dr. Brown's message, we enjoyed the presence of guest speaker Dr. James MacDonald. Dr. MacDonald serves as pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, and brought us a series of messages outlining who God is and who we are in relation to Him. Like many other students, I found Dr. MacDonald extremely engaging. His messages were applicable and in tune with issues we deal with all the time. Junior Kathryn Lakomy said, "Personally, I found the message about being ordinary to be the one that has stayed with me the most. 'You are not a snowflake!' runs so contrary to the message the world gives us everyday, and while we are each loved by God and gifted by the Spirit, there is no room for pride." Senior student Leighana Hosford was also touched by this message and claimed, "The sooner we bring the focus back to God and His works instead of ourselves, the sooner we can positively impact the world for Christ." After remarkable sermons from two such knowledgeable lecturers, it is no wonder students, staff, and faculty alike will be remembering these late August days with fondness, even through the bustle of the year ahead. A. Dr. James MacDonald preaches to the student body in a way that resonates with so many of us. 14 Fall Sophomore Gabriel Coyle and senior Stephen Ziegenfuss accompany senior Paula Thompson [not pictured]. As bassist Stephen Ziegenfuss reminds us, "Being a musical part of three thousand people worshiping the Lord is often overwhelming." 4.• Students also play a large part in Bible Conference proceedings both on and offstage. Junior William Duncan spoke for many when he said, "My favorite part was seeing other Cedarville students involved in serving at the conference, even by collecting offering!"
41 Andrew Rodriguez, Dave Hoecke, Jeff Beste, and Mike DiCuirci [not pictured] sing a deceptively effortless verse of "Palms of Victory," but as Dave Hoecke remembers, you still have to "remember the right words and hit the right pitches!" 4 Dr. Brown delivers his key address the first night of the conference, touching many students, including junior Christopher Guarnera, who said, "I began to realize a theme that God has been trying to make clearer to me: it's all about Him." ). To show our appreciation for his time and excellent messages, Cedarville presents Dr. MacDonald with a few "gifts," including a university blanket. Dr. MacDonald finds his own way to show his appreciation, at least for the blanket. '+'" In addition to the usual singers and instruments, members of the university brass choir help lead worship with an unparalleled power. Traditions abound during the Bible Conference each fall, but Perhaps none so powerful as when Mr. Michael DiCuirci, professor of music, leads the student body in singing the "Lion of Judah." Sisters Katelyn and Rachel Talbott weave beautiful harmony into the age-old hymn, "As I Survey."
Saturday morning found many of us students huddled in groups, trying to stay warm as we awaited the beginning of the greatly anticipated Homecoming Parade '05. I tried to keep my hot chocolate from spilling as I was jostled on all sides by people trying to get the best views. This year's homecoming theme was "1950's Carnival: Big Tent Event," and many parade participants were dressed appropriately in poodle skirts, roller skates, and leather jackets. OPE got into the 50's spirit by reenacting scenes from "The Andy Griffith Show." The crowd sang along as the guys played the classic theme song on guitar and others whistled along. As Lamar King said, "The kids loved the candy, and the older people remembered the show and could connect with what we did. It made all the time, effort, and cold feet well worth it." As DOE and ADO handed out root bear floats in traditional style, SGA danced to "After Awhile Crocodile," and MENC's marching band played "Never Had a Friend Like Me"from Disney's Aladdin. However, the "Centennial Cartwheelers"from the Greene County Library stole the show with their book carts and poodle skirts as they performed their routine down the parade route. Many students had seen them practicing earlier in the year, but as Katie McGinn said, "I honestly thought they were just training new library ladies!" This year's homecoming court consisted of freshman Karissa Bollenbacher, sophomore Eva Stark, junior Rebecca Wolff, and seniors Nikole Simpson, Kane Harpest, Casey O'Neal, Becky Henschel, and Lisa Partain escorting homecoming queen Stephanie Hueni and her boyfriend Drew Flamm down the parade route. All agreed that the best part of the whole parade was seeing the little kids' faces, so bright and full of expectation, awaiting the candy thrown from the various floats. As senior Katie Harpest said, "Seeing my family and friends surround me with all their love and support" added to this amazing experience. A.Sara Welch, Karen Alenskis, Krista Olsen, Lisa Mathews, and Nathan Williams represent the Gamma Chi/Alpha Chi float in this year's annual homecoming parade. 16 Fall A. Emily Van Dette, Kristin Krull, Jeremy Cobb and Isaac Judd march with pride in this year's parade. "I was thinking about the great turn-out and how Cedarville may actually be able to pull off a marching band," said Isaac Judd.
-44 SGA members Matt Shiraki, Ben Waddell, Holly Luiken, Lizzie Orrison, and Justin Ely promote the 1950's Homecoming Theme. Lizzie stated, "I was so excited. We had the first performance ever in the parade. Floats are old news; performances are the wave of the future." Resprestenting the SIFE organization, Julie Campbell said, "It's not everyday you get to ride down Main Street in a go-cart!" Homecoming Queen Stephanie Hueni and escort Drew Flamm ride in style down the parade route. "My biggest concern was making sure I didnt fall off the back of the convertible as it thrusted forward!" said Stephanie. )- OPE members Andrew Black and Nate Molby pose as members of the Andy Griffith TV show, their theme for this year's float. 1" Delta Pi Sigma girls Christina Cronshaw, Renee Provo, Robin Provo, Amy Elliot, Kate Martin, Pamela Seaymor, Emily Trevino and Mrs. Debra Halsmith show off their 50's dress with bottled cokes in hand."Who can resist girls with style and a refreshing beverage?" said student president Kate Martin. 4. Ivey Harrell, Becky Stowers, and Jennifer Krier are all smiles as 50's roller skaters. "It was hilarious when the truck slowed down and the girls didn't know how to stop!" stated Becky Stowers. A. Kim Cocca and Devon Overby proudly represent the senior class. "We were the "middle school" stage of the Friends for Life couple in the Senior Class Float," said Kim. 4t. A local Cedarville crowd gathers in anticipation to watch the parade roll by. 41110.- _
As I walked through the balloon archway, I knew that my first homecoming at Cedarville was going to be an interesting one. As the popular carnival ride Mind Winder spun away, the scent of elephant ears filled the air. There was a stage where multiple acts including singing, tricks, and contests took place. Isaac Pittman sang "What a Wonderful World," and he said he thought the crowd was great. "They were excited and energetic throughout the whole day. They seemed to like all the performers, and since my song was a familiar one, they were able to be involved." Many people participated in this year's homecoming theme by wearing 50's styled clothing. "I love dressing up, and it makes it more fun," said Teah Thomson, who was adorned in a pink poodle skirt. "The 50's really do seem cool. Who doesn't love bobby socks and poodle skirts?" exclaimed Elizabeth Orrison, an emcee on the stage. Though it was cold outside, there were many games to play, prizes to win, and food to eat. When asked what she was going to do with the goldfish she'd just won, Jenny Johnson said, "I'm going to put it in my room. They told me it was from China!" After the carnival activities many students gathered outside of the DMC in anticipation for the Steven il l Curtis Chapman concert. By far the most memorable moment of the concert was Chapman singing the infamous song "Dive." Students jumped up and down with excitement as Chapman sang the chorus. However, as he got to the second verse, he exclaimed, "I've sung this song a hundred and fifty-three million times... and I just forgot the words. It's a really good verse too!" Chapman definitely made Homecoming 2005 memorable. A. Freshman Marie Kirby endures the cold weather to paint students' A.

Kyle Jackson opens his mouth for a delicious mouthful. "I loved the retro theme this year. Gotta love the 50's!" ). Melinda Workman, Luke Snider, and Janette Foy enjoy digging into their pies as Jonathan Lett encourages them on the sidelines. "I have to say that the pie eating contest was definitely one of the events that made the evening for me,"exclaimed Melinda. 4Steven Curtis Chapman, the artist for this year's Homecoming celebration, raises his hands in praise to the Lord as he sings. A. While tap dancing to a jazz song, Rebecca Wolff and Alison West are all smiles. "We would always laugh while dancing. We could not do it without smiling big or laughing," said Rebecca. .4. Brian Burns and Tyler Anderson have the pleasure of going backstage to meet musician Steven Curtis Chapman before the concert. "He is such a humble man, and it was nice to see firsthand his love for God," remarked Tyler. antraralLSib
414.4,11r4a, It was a cool and drizzly afternoon when the Engineering Department hosted their 13th annual Canoe Race across 40114. Cedar Lake. Twenty-four teams of freshman engineers and campus departments protected their cardboard dinghies ‘14.. from light rain while dark clouds filled the skies and hid the characteristically bright sun from the activities at goo hand. Umbrellas dotted the crowd of students, who were waiting opposite the launching dock, anxious for the races to begin. All eyes focused on the canoes as team members delicately lowered them into the water, praying the cardboard bearings wouldn't give way. "It was very intense,"freshman James Elgersma told me. "In a single *111,111 instant, we could be watching our carefully crafted cardboard construction sink to a watery grave, taking a quarter of our grade with it!" Indeed, with added restrictions for this year's race, including less tape, less cardboard, and a fifty percent increase in course length, the pressure was on. Freshman Jordan Winter discovered, as had so many others before him,"Our beloved canoe was impervious.., until it got in the water." Still, whether participants emerged victorious or took an unexpected swim, the afternoon was definitely a one-of-a-kind experience for everyone. This year's race also had some unexpected entries. The departmental canoes included CAB, Honors, Library, and the first ever cardboard surfboard, compliments of Graphics Design. Dennis Nangle, a paddler for the library, said, "I liked starting the Library canoe tradition, and I'm certain we'll develop various aqua dynamic strategies and methods that will put us in the number one spot next year! After all, we've got limitless resources right at our fingertips!" When the Honors canoe sank just yards from the finish, team members went under with about as much grace as the Demolition Derby, but with hands raised and faces glowing. When questioned afterward, team member Karen Williams, a junior, simply replied, "We do philosophy, not boats." A. Freshman Miles McGee employs two key strategies to ensure a safe travel across the lake:"We figured out how to use less tape and cardboard for everything, and we paddled across the lake very slowly to make sure we didn't splash water into the boat." 20 Fall Clearly a victim of the newly-extended lake route, freshman Taylor Durling takes a spill, similar to several of the shipwrecked freshmen who met their fate on the treacherous waves of Cedar Lake.
44 Red bandanna-clad freshman Dan Zimmerman explains his canoe's resilience: "We used our heads more than our computers. Engineering for the real world is only about 10% equations on blackboards and computer programs." Freshman Jordan Clay enjoys a refreshing dip into Cedar Lake. He says that "I spent about 26 hours building the boat only to have it sink 10 yards from the finish. It was very hard to get the cardboard to do what you wanted it to." ••• The winners of the Cardboard Canoe Race '06, who are pictured from left to right: upperclassmen advisors, Natalie Weil, and Dave Bartlett; students Tim Vincent, Nick Duncan, Garrett Wieronski, Steve Smith; and their faculty advisors, Dr. Chasnov and Dr. Zavodney. *Freshman Brietta Allen volunteers her time and core body temperature as a passenger. She says that "[her team] worked together almost as if they were one person." If it were up to Senior CAB member Nicole Boop, seated in the middle, she would have "increased the tape supply that we were given because then we would have given the Library a run for their money!" Freshman Aaron Frey remembers having some structural difficulties during their canoe's creation. "We went way too high on the sides, so we didn't have enough materials for the front! So we ended up with a tub." Remembering difficult recalculations, freshman Craig Wright describes the race as "way more work than any one credit class should require."
The field house was packed, and anticipation ran high throughout the student body and faculty in attendance. I was immediately caught up in the excitement, eager for the events of the evening to unfold. To start off the evening, the women's basketball team took the court. Their determination was demonstrated through their attitude and excellent skills in the game. The highlight of the night was the dunk contest. Walter Strickland took this competition to a new level as he demonstrated his talent and was named the Dunk Champion. Putting down one more dunk after receiving the victory confirmed that he was truly the best. The three-point shooting contest between the women's and men's teams proved to be an exciting event. As the crowd kept score, the men's team easily took over the opposition. In similar fashion, a few faculty members from the Bible Department challenged key administrative faculty to yet another three-point shooting contest. Dr. Scott Dixon led the Bible Department to victory with ease. The evening ended with a head-to-head scrimmage of the men's basketball team. The intensity of the game grew quickly as the team showed off their talent and drive for perfection. Halftime gave a few of the male players the chance to goof off with some dunking as well. Freshman Ryan Short brought the fans to their feet as he dunked with ease. "All I could say was'wow'when Ryan threw down that wicked sweet 360!" said senior Justin Mattern. Freshman Kyle Smith wrapped up his thoughts of the night, saying, "Moonlight Madness was primo. Free drinks, basketballers, hard bleacher seats, overall a good time." This year's Jacket season proves to be promising if both men's and women's basketball teams continue to play with the passion that was displayed on the court tonight. A. MichelleDavidson, bass drum player in the pep band, enjoys playing with -4. Looking at this picture, it is apparent Who the team plays for. "Major the group because they make attending the games a lot of fun. "It's good differences coming together in sickness and health for one cause," music at a good game!" player Chris Walker states about the team. 22 Fall
44 Grant Walker, along with teammates Ryan Short and Ray James, have a great time during Moonlight Madness. "It was a sweet time. The fans were great!" Grant reflects. Karah Walton, trying to block a shot by teammate Brittany Smart, said "this is the best team I've ever been a part of. Our goal is to honor Christ through our actions and hard work." *Supported by Ashley Coale, Kaitlin McDaniel, Clay Ludlow, and Nate Leykam, Regan Rice is all smiles as she performs her cheerleading stunt during Moonlight Madness. "I was finishing the last rotation on a 360 degree dunk and I was a little dizzy!" recalls Walter Strickland. Walter is one of the many students to show off their basketball skills. 1" Cedarville students stand on their feet for the entire game to show their support to the Yellow Jacket basketball teams. 1 Dr. Miller prepares for the shoot-off between the Bible department and the Vice Presidents. After beating the VP's 11-6, Miller stated that "it was just a nice night to support the Jackets." -• Freshman Bayley Nosel(#5)shows off some of her moves as she plays in her first Moonlight Madness.
"I love to feel cultured, and I love the fact that Cedarville encourages me to be cultured through different venues," stated senior Kayla Smith. Of course, one of the most common venues we have for the arts is our plays, both main stage and independent. This fall, director Dr. Diane Merchant brought a very engaging and controversial play to the student body. A Doll's House is the story of a young wife and mother during the late 19th century. During the Christmas holidays, Nora, played by Shavon Gruber, is made to face the consequences of her actions and the true nature of her husband. When Nora comes to understand that she is a doll in a doll's house, she chooses to leave and find out who she truly is. Although slightly controversial in theme, the production brought together both new and experienced actors for a very engaging performance. Dr. Rank, played by Harry "Rob" Rassmussen, was one of the most endeared characters. As junior Nicholas Fridemaker put it, "His part was great, it was well acted and pretty funny. I enjoyed it thoroughly." Some characters were harder to love. James Tullett said he viewed his character "as a tight, rigid, traditional husband: a monarch in his own home," yet James held that his favorite part of acting in the show was "portraying a character people would view in a negative light, but still maintaining his humanity." As Nic said of the production, "The snow was so pretty and realistic looking, I loved it. And the set was amazing as usual." We all thought the set really facilitated the feeling that we were in a real home of the 19th century. A.Summer Joy and Adrian Silaghi played the children of Mr. and Mrs. Helmer. Here they are playing "hide and seek" with their playful and childish mother. 24 Fall A.Nora's home life is wonderful until her old friend Kristine, played by Victoria Duff, comes into town. Kristine challenges Nora to be honest with her husband and herself.
44 The supporting cast of A Doll's House consists of Victoria Duff as Kristine, Rob Rasmussen as Dr. Rank, and Jim Tullett as Torvald Helmer. 1 The nuances of the marriage relationship between Nora and Torvald cause the audience to think about what it takes to be married, a subject some are loath to consider. Senior Ryan Rotman stated, "I really enjoyed the set on stage. It was very well done. The way they used lights to help with some of the action was excellent, and the snow before the play started really gave it the sense that it was taking place during the winter." "r "I felt like my character provided the audience with a character with which they could associate and feel empathy for," stated Rob Rassmusen. A Jeremy Hawkins portrays the antagonist of the story, Krogstad, a severe and cold business man who is only concerned with his business. Nag A "I love the play's controversial theme. I think that although the play's message might not align with Cedarville's standards, it raises some issues about divorce and the husband and wife relationship that we as Christians need to examine in our own lives," said Shavon Gruber. J. Nora shows her cheerfulness and love of fun when she brings home Christmas gifts for her children.
UI nt(Sh We all enjoy a little entertainment, especially from freshmen who are not afraid to become known. Every fall, freshmen receive just that opportunity through SGA's New Student Talent Show. This year's theme was "The Price is Right." The stage sparkled with blue and red fabric, a live band played upbeat jazz, and intermission included activities like "The Dating Game."All in all it was a great night of laughter, talent, and amazement. We marveled at our commentators and what they had to say. As one student said, "Dean Bates's one-liners stole the entire show this year. She upstaged everyone." Dean Bates was also joined by Mr. Ed Spencer, Mrs. Elaine Keller, and Mr. Tim Gombis. Of course Mr. Spencer had his fair share of one-liners; we were definitely rolling on the floor a few times. The night was pure fun and was, as Jason Moss stated, "one of the best uses of $5 I can think of." We experienced different types of acts, including singing, juggling, and interpretive dancing. The jugglers were amazing, and the singers incredibly talented. Cameron Arch stated, "The New Student Talent Show is always a highly-anticipated event. Students get to support their friends as they perform, and it gives people a chance to show-off a bit." One of the contestants said of performing, "I really enjoyed the crowd - they were great: loud, involved, and fun to be in front of." NSTS is definitely the place to find new young talent, and it will be wonderful to watch these performers in the coming years. So "Come on Down"and see what we have to offer! 4.. Pictured above, Alathea Young enjoys her performance: "It was so much fun being able to sing with my sister." The sister duet performs an original piece entitled "No Waste At All." Boys and guitars... it's ALMOST what Cedarville is all about. Dan Scarberry and Jeremy Steckel will fit in great. Both showed amazing talent and a promising future with the ladies. 4.."The Jugglers," Jason Moss and Ben Curtis(not pictured) exhibit their love and talent for juggling. 26 Fall 4.The hosts for the evening, Ben Waddell and Rod Bradley, take some time to display their own talents. A. Jerica Ward moves us all with her voice and passion as she sings "I Still Believe." Joel Green said of the show, "[It] lets the campus see the new talent and faces that are on campus."
When September is well-worn and the days of summer truly a memory, a crisp edge breaks into the wind, bringing not only the arrival of fall, but the first slump of the school year. Serving as a break from the average and the everyday, the annual Day of Prayer, held September 21, was, as freshman Elizabeth Martin found, "an excellent time to refocus our thoughts and turn our attention back to prayer." Light chatter fell away as the Day of Prayer began with a special call to worship by guest singer/songwriter Josh Bales. His unique way of combining traditional hymns and ancient Christian texts with contemporary music helped set the stage for the prayer and sermon to come. Megan Waters, a sophomore, reminded me that it is so helpful to remember that we are a part of a bigger story: the historic, Christian narrative." G After then praying for the needs of our university family, country, and world, Dr. Ted Traylor, Pastor of Olive Baptist Church in Pensacola, Florida, encouraged us to learn to pray using the lessons found within the Lord's Prayer. The Day of Prayer was anything but ordinary. As sophomore Debbie Strutton said, "It was a perfect introduction to a day centered around communication with God." "I found that Josh Bales's emphasis on singing time-worn hymns and reciting communal Christian creeds helped me to see my faith more holistically, as one part of the larger picture of Christianity," stated sophomore Megan Waters. ,r With a refreshing break in tradition of an all-prayer service, Dr. Ted Traylor speaks to the student body about prayer. •A• Many students take this time to give to God those struggles they are facing. Arielle Dorsey and Mugabe Thomas take the time for some solitary prayer. A. Enjoying the time of corporate prayer,freshman Kyle Smith stated, "I am now challenged to focus more on my prayer life, knowing that it will further my relationship with God." ...Junior Melissa Borton worships her God and praises Him for the privilage it is "to have a day set aside to go before our Heavenly Father as a student body and dedicate our semester to Him for His honor and glory."

Few events pack the crowds into Cedarville like Grandparent's Day or Parent's Weekend, and this year the two were combined into one fantastic Family Weekend loaded with activities and events everyone enjoyed. Ushering in the weekend was the traditional Grandparent's Day chapel, a time for games and laughter, but also tradition and honor. SGA Chaplain, Senior Benjamin Waddel, opened with a theatrical round of "dueling guitars" with his father(and a little help from the orchestra, of course). "Even though my dad thinks he's better than me, we all know who's better looking," said Waddel, a little tongue-in-cheek. Two pairs of grandparents also competed in a remake of the Newlywed Game for couples married more than 50 years, but they knew how to take it in stride. When asked one trait he appreciated most about his wife, one grandfather simply answered,"She likes me." Events continued that afternoon with the traditional choral concert and the Orchestra and Brass Choir concerts. A dazzling mix of spirituals, concertos, and haunting melodies left families moved and in spirited conversation as they planned the rest of their evening. For some, the rest of that evening included a trip to the other side of campus to see Jennifer Knudsen's senior theatre project, "Because I Knew You," a collection of songs and sketches outlining some of the most important relationships we make during our lifetime. Cedarville's #2 ranked women's basketball team rounded out the weekend with an amazing performance Saturday against #3 Indiana Wesleyan at the Cedarville Women's Basketball Classic. Although victory slipped through their fingers in the last moments,the sportsmanship and team spirit the girls displayed will live on in the memories of spectators, as will the remnants of Family Weekend 2005. SGA chaplain and host of the weekend's version of "The Newlywed Game,"senior Ben Waddell interviews the pair he dubs "the model for the ideal married couple." After fifty years of marriage, this gentleman loves his wife because..."she likes me." 28 Fall A. Grandparent's Day Chapel holds special meaning for senior Rachel Anderson and grandparents Dave and Carol. "I'm excited they came! It's my senior year, but this is the first time they've had the opportunity to come because I've been out of town for volleyball tournaments every year!"
41 Junior Tammy Angelini and senior Susan Bosworth enjoy fine dining in the comfort of Chuck's and play Skip-Bo with Grandma Klay, a friend visiting for the day. "We had a great time just hanging out together!" Susan explains. There's nothing like a long absence to bring a family together. "I had not seen my parents since August when they brought me to school. We really enjoyed parent's weekend!"freshman Katlyn Hiteshew recalls with father, Craig. ).• The DMC seal is often a popular meeting spot for friends and acquaintances to get together, especially this weekend! Along with many others, freshman Brietta Allen rushes to the seal to embrace her great-uncle Earle and great-aunt Beverley. "+' Yellow Jackets basketball is usually a crowd-pleaser, but tonight Kane Pepe, a freshman, along with her grandmother and aunt, anxiously await the outcome of the game. "It was a very suspenseful game! We were on the edge of our seats the whole time," Kane said. .A. Granddaughter Nicole Boop, a senior, enjoys sharing her'home away from home' with her family, even when it comes to something as ordinary as sampling a Chuck's lunch. As for the Boop family,'They enjoy their visits too and have grown to love Cedarville over the years because of its atmosphere and what it stands for." A. Family weekend provides time for a hug.

Administration Dear Cedarville Family, 2005-2006 - what a year! It will be remembered as a year marked by sorrow and loss; a year filled with sacrifice and giving; and a year colored with achievement and joy. Chapels, concerts, games, and plays have all added to my memory of this important year. In many ways, this is the passing of an era.The class of 2006 is the last class to have been enrolled under the leadership of another President. The torch has been passed. From all of us who serve in the administration of Cedarville University, we thank you for your constant encouragement and indomitable spirit. You are the reason we are here, and we never forget our responsibility to serve our Lord by serving you. President Dr. Bill Brown Administrative Council 32 Administration

Dr. Jack Riggs Dean School of Humanities, Fine Arts, and Bible The school is largely responsible for a number of artistic endeavors at Cedarville, including plays, films, painting, literature, and more. For HFAB, this year could be summarized with one word: success. The Biblical Education department succeeded in maintaining its focus on student development of biblically based worldviews as well as its pursuit of professionalism. Two professors published books for both scholarly and general audiences. The Language and Literature department also saw many achievements throughout the year. Attendance at the Foreign Film Series skyrocketed 300% this year, clearly indicating success in student awareness in foreign art and culture. In May, a handful of British Literature II students participated in the first May Term abroad in Dublin, Ireland. The Communication Arts department presented nothing but the highest caliber in performances and presentations. The fall play, A Doll's House, was selected by the Dayton City Paper as the "Critic's Best Pick" for the week of October 12-18. The Forensics and Debate team won recognition in many national competitions. The Music and Art department had two major successes this year. This fall, the department developed a unique and exciting major: Studio Art. This is ideal for students who enjoy multiple disciplines of art.

Dr. Pam Johnson Dean 40 Faculty et Staff School of Health and Human Performance Changes aplenty touched nearly every office and classroom on campus over the past year, including the School of Health and Human Performance, which encompassed the Athletic Training, Athletics, Campus Recreation, and Exercise and Sports Science majors. The Sports Management department hired their first full-time faculty member - Dr. Alan Geist, who taught various classes within the major and oversaw Sports Management practicum and internships. He was also involved in several departmental projects, including an accreditation for the Sports Management major and a student club. Dr. April Crommett, Assistant Professor of Exercise and Sports Science, began the process of starting a new club for health students. Perhaps the most visible change within this department was first observed in the university bookstore as underclassmen found they could no longer get away with renting used versions of the infamous PACL book. A fourth edition of Physical Fitness and the Christian: Exercising Stewardship, by Dean Pamela Johnson and Professor L. Delyte Morris, was approved and quickly implemented into classroom instruction. Finally, this past summer, the Campus Recreation Program made the move from the Student Life Division to the School of Health and Human Performance. Incorporating over 40 activities and opportunities for students to have fun and improve their health, Campus Recreation, along with the entire School of Health and Human Performance, fulfilled their purpose to "develop (in students) an awareness of the Christian's stewardship responsibility with regard to the care and use of the body" in a unique and practical way.

School of Engineering, Nursing, and Science Dr. Stanley Baczek Dean This year, the School of Engineering, Nursing, and Science sought to fulfill their mission to offer an education in the theoretical and applied sciences that is consistent with biblical truth. On July 1, the Computer Science major officially crossed over, becoming a part of the Engineering Department. Among other things, this eased class scheduling problems and allowed senior Computer Engineering majors to work with Electrical Engineering and Computer Science majors for their senior capstone design project. The Nursing Department was also alive with change. Four new instructors - Denise Martin, Rachel Parrill, Susan Salladay, and Amy Voris - taught on a variety of nursing matters while upholding the departmental vision statement. A masters' program was also in the works, which would build on the successes, stability, and reputation of the baccalaureate to build a comprehensive nursing program to construct Christ-like leaders for the medical field. Finally, the Math and Science Department hit the ground running. A Forensics Science major was planned to be implemented the following year, and the first Cedarville University graduates with a Bioethics minor graduated in May. Perhaps the most exciting change, however, was Dr. Whitmore's brand new Geology of the National Parks, a course designed to study the geology observable in our national parks during a May term travel study. Whatever the department, no matter the change, the School of Engineering, Nursing, and Science has nothing but excellence behind it and vision ahead.

Dr. Kevin Sims Dean School of Social Science & Professional Studies The School of Social Science and Professional Studies strived to create Christian leaders who understand the proper integration of faith and their professions. The Business Department intended to develop business leaders who are discerning, competent, and influencing their organizations, professions, and culture from a biblical paradigm. The department furthered this goal by adding Dr. Richard Martinez as a professor of management,funding $150,000 to develop a professional trading room, and creating a student/faculty consulting group to assist local businesses.The Education Department endeavored to prepare quality Christian teachers with a biblical world view, which will be manifested in their ability to teach students effectively around the world. In accordance with their strive for quality, on March 25-26, the department went through a rigorous sixpoint test and visitation by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education to become NCATE accredited. The Psychology Department introduced students to the world of research with a strong emphasis on classroom critical thinking that they might understand people and life from a biblical perspective. In September, a number of CU Psychology students participated in the World Conference of the American Association of Christian Counselors. The Social Sciences and History Department's mission was to serve competently in a multicultural society and global community while integrating a Christian worldview. In accordance with this goal, Professor George Huff received a summer grant to research "Integration of Faith and Learning" and presented his results at a social work conference in Chicago in February.
