1919 Cedrus Yearbook

ENIffet• 19 FRESHMAN HISTORY 19 T IS exceedingly difficult for historians to write concerning their own age. They cannot place events in their proper relations nor do they get the true perspective. So events which seem common- place enough now may in later years be viewed as turning-points in history. We may have been green when we first stepped into the halls of dear old Cedarville College, but in the place of the customary bright and glowing shade, injurious to eyes and understanding, we were the young, shooting green that holds out the promise of great growth;and in one year we have demonstrated that we have taken firm root, are fulfilling our early prom- ise, and have already accomplished many achievements of note. When we entered, it was with the desire and determination that might proclaim a new day had dawned for Cedarville College, and the new class within her gates was continually stretching up ambitious fingers to clutch at the glory in every field. However, we have never been lacking in the austere curriculum of the school's activity from athletics to studies. As individuals we have even greater distinctions; in number of athletes, de- baters, orators,and fussers, we stand without peer. The literary society finds its most energetic, loyal, and willing members among the Freshmen and we are proud of our scholastic record. Our career in the circles of polite society has not been neglected, as you have seen. But we will not boast for ourselves individually, but man to man and woman to woman, where can you beat us? Remember, Freshmen of today are Seniors of Tomorrow. Whatever we may have accomplished as a class, may be attributed to our unanimity of purpose. We have pulled together at all times. Our watch- word has been that time-honored phrase, "United we stand, divided we fall." We've quantity and quality together, To bring our class through all kinds of weather. 35 —R.F. I.
