Inspire, Winter 1995

from The Director's Chair remember the most wonderful traditions my family had j. when I was a small child. Everyone got new clothes for Easter(all five children!). Then we would have an Easter egg hunt after dinner and, well,the clothes weren't new for long. Or my dad always hung lights at Christmas. Notjust on the Christmas tree indoors, but on the house,the dog house,lining the driveway,over the bushes,on every tree in the yard. And anything else that did not move twinkled at Christmas time. And now that I have afamily ofmy own,the traditions that I established for myselfas a young adult are important to me as I pass them down to my son—reading the Christmas story ofJesus' birth from the New Testament Gospels;inviting co-workers and students over at every holiday so they can enjoy a"family away from family;" fixing waffles and bacon for Sunday night dinner. Cedarville.College began some ofthese traditions for me. As I recall the times I was invited to spend holidays with friends when my home was too far away,it encourages me to do the same for others. We can all recall a tradition learned while living at Cedarville. And some from my era are quite humorous...Harold Green's hot dogs,squares,and diamonds sermon;the chapel pulpit(the size ofa boat taking 10strong men to launch her offthe platform); and "whales"in the lake. In this issue ofInspire, we have brought you some traditions of Cedarville College and her family members.Homecoming 1995 is also reviewed for you,and I trust that you enjoy reminiscing via photos ofthis year's events. Many alumni tell me,"Things have changed so much at Cedarville!" It is most encouraging to look at the traditions that have not changed—daily required chapel,a curriculum that maintains a Bible minor for every student,and Christian ministry coupled with community involvement. We hope you enjoy this issue!
