Inspire, Winter 1998-99

Heritage Corner A Stitch In Time —w ith her only instruction coming from a quilting book,Junia Cresswell Laughman '41 stitched her first quilt in 1978. She managed to cross-stitch the top while a friend,Erma Cresswell, quilted the top, batting, and back together. i ulna's intention was to enter the quilt in the Clark County Fair in Springfield, Ohio. Since this was her first attempt at cross-stitch and piecing a quilt top together,she was a bit nervous."I learned a few lessons from my first quilt—such as not to cross the 'x'of a stitch in two different directions!" Junia stated. Junia's quilting quest has so far resulted in 22 different quilts with designs ranging from the "nine-patch" to the "Irish chain." She has made quilts for each of her three children and seven grandchildren.The youngest grandchild enjoys cuddling with a polar bear quilt while sleeping. Junia said she now completes about two quilts a year. Two of her creations won first place blue ribbons and Best of Show awards at the Clark County Fair."Practice does make Heritage Reunion Luncheon The Heritage Alumni are always eager to take part in Homecoming.On Friday, October 15, their day began as they gathered in the Jeremiah Chapel ofthe Dixon Ministry Center to hear Dr. Dixon's State ofthe College address. Sitting down front, they were recognized for the many years they've prayed for Cedarville College. Following the chapel service,the group of 32 headed over to the President's Dining Room in the College Center, where they enjoyed a delicious lunch oflemon chicken with angel hair pasta. Old yearbooks were passed around,and laughs and sighs could be heard as each enjoyed special memories. perfect stitches!" Junia exclaimed. Junia uses her talent to benefit others as well as keep her family warm. In 1997 and 1998 Junia donated lone star pattern quilts to be auctioned at the Urbana Baptist Christian School's annual auction. In 1997 her quilt brought over $500 to benefit the school. Currently Junia is working on a crazy quilt, which contains 2,500 to 3,000 fabric pieces, all one and a half inch by one and a half inch."It is time consuming,but I'd rather quilt than clean my house!" exclaimed Junia. A tour of the campus given by current college students completed the day's activities. Seeing how the Lord has worked at Cedarville College through the years was the highlight ofthe day.The Heritage group went home with a renewed interest in praying for their alma mater.

News and World Report recently published its Uannual rankings of colleges and universities across the nation. Cede? vide College was ranked in the top tier of liber al arts schools ill the Midwest region. This tier is just one step below the region's top ten liberal arts schools. One of the criteria used in the ranking scheme is a category on alumni giving. The magazine evaluates schools based, in part, on the percentage of alumni who contribute to their alma muter. Interestingly enough, this category was one in which the College fared less favorably than others. What this means is that you, by making even a small contribution, can make a big difference in the College's rankings in the coming years. Remember,the criterion is concerned with the percentage of alumni contributors, not the total amount of giving. Play a role in the advancement of Cedarville College to the national stature it deserves by being a part of the percentage of alumni who contribute to their alma nutter. You can make a significant difference! 5 WINTER 1998/99
