1915 Cedrus Yearbook

4-^ 4 tr& The Ladies' Advisory Board BOUT five years ago it was thought best for the welfare of Cedarville College that it should have a Ladies' Advisory Board. Consequently, ten ladies, representing the four different denominations of the village, were chosen. Mrs. W. E. Putt and Mrs. M. J. Taylor moving away left eight members on the board. For a while the board seemed to lie dormant to its responsibilities, but finally awakened and decided to be of some use to the College. First, the building was looked over and some necessary improvements were advised, which were carried out satisfactorily by the Trustees and the ladies were inspired to greater efforts. They decided to refurnish the girls' rest room, which they found needed some attention. Their first venture was an oyster supper which was well patronized by the friends of the College, and from which they realized a neat sum. This assured the ladies that they could go ahead, since they found out that they could make money. The end of the year found the girls' room completely made over, with dainty new curtains, a beauti- ful new rug, and newly varnished floors. This year the boys' rest room and the music room have been furnished in the same way. The ladies have many plans for similar improvements in other rooms, and for many other things; such as new lights, chairs, etc., which will be carried out soon. The Ladies' Board has become all that its name implies and more, and hopes to prove itself loyal and helpful to Cedarville College. 53
