Inspire, Spring 1995

From The Director's Chair ports are a mystery to me.Eye-hand coordination I don't have,nor will I ever develop it well enough to hit a racquetball,golf ball, or softball. I dislike jogging;I know the minimum of basketball rules; and the bodily harm possible in football has set the ground rule for our son's participation—no football! But I do understand the benefits from the camaraderie of participating on a team,the discipline that practice develops,and the value of lifelong friendships that are made.Many alumni tell me that they will never forget their experience as students in athletics at Cedarville. And alumni continue to demonstrate their supportfor Cedarville College athletics through participation in alumni sporting events(volleyball, basketball,tennis, baseball, and soccer all have annual alumni games),through support ofthe Yellow Jackets Club,and through encouraging the current sporting teams. This issue ofInspire highlights many ofour alumni who continue to use their athletic ability today.Some are athletic directors, others are sharing the gospel ofJesus Christ through sports. We hope you enjoy this issue and that you are brought up-to-date on the athletic programs at Cedarville College. You will also find highlights from Alumni Basketball Weekend.Even though the men's and women's varsity games with Shawnee State University were cancelled due to bad weather,the alumni—men and women—had a great time competing. About 200 alums enjoyed watching those games and the pizza dinner that followed. It's good to be back in the office after three months of maternity leave and I look forward to serving you during 1995. 1440.‘1, `g?
