A big THANKS to each host who has planned a regional alumni gathering! In addition to learning from college activities, Daniel appreciates some special people at Cedarville because of their impact in his life. Dr. Lyle Anderson made a lasting impression because he always made sure the Chorale sang music which centered around ministry. In fact, Lyle and Connie Anderson were like a second father and mother to him. Daniel points out that Kevin Smith organized the Kingsmen Quartet well. Daniel credits Myron Youngman '76, director of campus activities at that time, because "he helped teach me how to think and how to use my imagination." By putting on creative variety shows with a spiritual emphasis, Daniel discovered the varied means and aspects of worship. After graduating from Cedarville, Daniel sang one summer with the Santa Fe Desert Chorale and earned a masters degree in choral conducting at the University of Cincinnati. He used his musical abilities by serving as the director of vocal activities for Dayton Christian High School for three years. He directed and traveled with the school's singing group,"Spirit of Praise" and conducted a summer production at the Mason Commu- nity Theater. Daniel married Shawnie Booher'83N in 1987 and is currently pursuing a DMA in chorale conducting at the University of Cincinnati. He also serves as assistant director of music at Fairhaven Church in Dayton. Daniel's goals include teaching at the collegiate level and writing choral music. Ultimately, he would like to start a professional chorus. 1991Children Of Alumni Scholars COASP AN INTERVIEW rish Walker is between her junior and senior year in high school. She is also one of 30 students her age to participate in the Children Of Alumni Scholar Program. Trish has also grown up in Cedarville and has had maximum exposure to the campus because her mother and father are actively involved in the College and the community. Dick Walker '74N is the director of campus activities and the mastermind of many campuswide events. Linda (Madsen '71) is busy at home and with tutoring learning-disabled children. Even though Trish has lived in the village for 17 years she stated, "I've gained a whole new perspective of the campus and classes during the three weeks of summer studies!" In a recent interview Trish talked about some of her thoughts about the experience. Q. A. 411;t. A. Q. A. Q. A. You had a variety ofclasses to choose from. Which classes did you pick? I selected The Christian Life with Professor David Warren and Beginning Tennis with my uncle, Professor Elvin King; but I didn't get any special treatment! Were the classes different from high school and why did you like the courses? You are responsible to meet deadlines and a professor isn't pushing you to get the work done. You have to discipline yourself to complete assignments. We wrote two papers and had three exams in The Christian Life. The papers were challenging because we had to write our personal testimony and a letter to an unsaved friend. We could use a type- writer or computer,so we had opportunity to learn those skills, also. Because the class is accelerated, we had three tests in three weeks. Professor Warren's class was great! He brought a lot of excitement and humor to the class and we all got along well. One day he brought his dog to class in order to use him in an example of human conscience and the Holy Spirit. Tennis was a lot of fun because we played against each other and we were outside for one hour every afternoon. Chapel was also an inspiration. The pro- fessors and MIS teams presented most of the services. Even though you live in Cedarville you chose to stay with the other students in the dormi- tory. How did that experience impact you? I love dorm life! When I first discussed with my parents about coming to Summer Studies, I wasn't sure I wanted to stay in the dorm. But it turned out to be a highlight of college. I stayed in Printy with eight girls in my unit and they were from all over America— California, New York, Illinois, and Ohio. We would usually study late at night, order out for pizza, and exercise. There were also special outings to the Cincinnati Zoo, Covington Landing, King's Island, the mall, Columbus,and to see the play,"Oliver," in Springfield. The resident director and resident advisors were very helpful. In the three weeks I lived on campus I went home about three times. I made some great friends and the entire group(10 young men and 18 young women)grew close. So,Trish, would you recommend the Summer Scholars Program for other children of alumni? Yes,for many reasons! It was a great oppor- tunity for me to meet other teens from all over America. That is important since I grew up in Cedarville. Classes were great and I got a head start on college. As a child of a Cedarville alumnus, I also received a $500 tuition scholarship. The other students I became close to are planning to attend Cedarville in another year and that will make my Freshman year an easier transition. I'm glad I attended and would encourage others to try this summer studies program! he Admissions Office would like to thank the many alumni who helped in the recruitment process for Fall 1991.
