1916 Cedrus Yearbook

19 Soph'istry 16 D URING the month of September 1914 the doors of Cedarville College were opened to greet former students and to welcome the twenty-one who were entering for the first time. Of course the upper classmen tried their usual initiations but we were able to take our own part and have our good times. In the fall of 1915 on the opening day of college fifteen of last year's Freshmen returned and three more were glad to join the ranks and claim their rights as Sophomores. Now we are eighteen, the largest Sophomore class in the history of the college. Of the six that left our midst, the two girls are at home learning the duties offarmers daughters. One of the boys is"down on the farm",one is in Westminster College, another in Indiana University, and the other is in Ohio University at Athens. Among our number there are musicians, orators, artists, athletes, logicians, mathematicians and theologians. We claim four members of the girls' basket ball team, three of the boys'team,the captain of both teams and the manager of the girls' team. December 3rd. opened the 1915-16 basket ball sea- son with a double header between sophs. and the other three classes. We were defeated by a score of 39-33. In compliance with the terms of the challenge we the losing class were to entertain the winning classes with afeed. After that supper the boys could not butsay: We have"some"cooks in our class. We have reason to believe that we have orators in our class. In the preliminary contest Cameron McClure won first place and William Collins second place. Later the winner in the preliminary con- test won third place in the State contest held at Baldwin Wallace college. If space would permit we could write for hours telling of the qualities and characteristics of the class of '18. But we want you to know us not only asa class butasindividuals. William Collins."Bill's our president and a worthy one too, because of his ability for management. If you want to know how to make candy,just ask him. Helen Oglesbee. "Polly" is our secretary and musician. She is often stopped in the hall before an entertainment,and then you see her with a radiant smile. Marie Little and Alta Graham are the "lights" of our class. Marie is a capable girl with wide experience which she expects to make use of next yearin teaching. Alta never worries about anything. She is usually in a good humor and is ready to go when she hears of a spread. James Chesnut. "Jim"devotessomeof his time to chapel and corridor tete-a-tetes. He has many good qualities and is a lively cheer leader. Emery Hoskinson. "Hosky" is a science student. This year he is taking Physics, Chemistry and Biology in addition to Math and English.
