1915 Cedrus Yearbook

4.• .A. HALLOWE'EN SOCIAL October 31, is a date looked forward to with eagerness and expectation by all students of C.C. This year it was the boys' turn to act as hosts and it is no idle boast to say that they eclipsed all previous Hallowe'en socials. The "Alford" was decorated to represent a moonlight scene in a cornfield. All the guests were requested to disguise themselves and the girls were shown the way to the gymnasium by means of a confetti trail. For about two hours there was much fun and mirth in trying to recognize each other. Finally the disguises were thrown off and the crowd seated. After this came a sumptuous chicken supper. Such a feed was never given before on a like occasion. Chicken, baked beans, pickles, buns, and coffee completed the menu. Orange-ade was served from an artificial spring in the center of the floor. Further entertainment was provided after supper and ata late hour the guests departed feeling that theyhad spent the most enjoyable evening of the season. FRESHMAN "PROM." CEDARVILLE, OHIO, MARCH 13, 1915 MY DEAR OLD "MUTT": Say, old fellow, do you know, we're mighty fortunate that we're not Freshmen this year, and that you are equally as unfortunate that you could not be in on the Fresh- man spread given the twenty-sixth of January. You want to know how it happened, do you? Well, you see, it was this way. Thereare twenty-one Freshmen in school this year, and while they are without a doubt, made of good stuff, they, like all Fresh- men, had to be taken down a step. They got the notion into their heads that they could just clean up the floor in a basket ball game with the Upper Classmen. The Upper Classmen challenge-I them to play and, Fre.hmanlike, without any deliberation they promptly accepted the challenge. January 12, was the date set for the contest, and as the time drew near, you can imagine theexcitement. Everybody was out that night. and the Freshmen did valiantly, but the girls were sorely defeated. The boys how- ever turned the tables on the Upper Classmen and won their game. I guess I forgot to tell you that when the challenge was made. the losers were to set up the "eats" to the winners. Well, when the points were added the Upper Classmen were found to be ahead, and it was up to the Freshmen to feed the rest of us. They were not the lads and lassies to back down, and on January 26, they gave us a B-I-G feed, now, I'll tell you they did. I can't remember just now what all we did have, but there were chicken "patties" and baked beans and pickles and salad and nabiscoes and gelatine and, —oh, I can't tell you what all, now,—but I do remember thato finish up on we had some of Dr. Chesnut's funny stories. Oh, I'll tell you it was great. We'll never forget it, and I only wish you could have been here, it would have done your heart good as well as your stomach. Well, as time and space are somewhat limited I will have to call a halt, so good-by. Your old "pal," "BENEDICT." 41
