1920 Cedrus Yearbook

1920 THE SOPHOMORES EASURED in comparison with men's lives, two years is a short time, but measured in comparison with the length of a college course, two years marks the half-way point. Only two short years hence and we too must launch out on the great sea of life. In many respects the class of '22 is the most unique and versatile class that has ever passed through the halls of Cedarville College. Since we have been a part of the school, we are prond to say that there has never been a single student activity that some one of our classmates have not been more or less engaged in; from smearing blue paint to stacking the chapel, and from assisting in Senior plays to breaking up Freshman spreads; and it is even whisperedabout among the members of the class that once upon a time one of our number was actually known to have studied. • However, with the recitation of our checkered career (the spots are mostly black, we admit) we do not wish to give the impression that we are entirely bad, nor would we desire to represent ourselves as budding angels, but rather a group of lively, wide-awake and progressive young men and women, representative we believe, of all angles and phases of the life of the average youth of our American colleges. Every political party, no matter how large or how small, must have its platform, we too have one. True we have made our mistakes, and our failures, but, the organization that makes no mistakes is dead, and very decidedly we are not a dead organization. It has always been oux practice to endeavor to build monuments of success on the ashes or our failures. During our stay in college it has been our goal to adhere strictly to the policy of the square deal, good sportsmanship, closer co- operation between faculty and students, and to assist in every possible way "the powers that be" in making Cedarville College a bigger, better and grander place for the classes of the future.
