1920 Cedrus Yearbook

1920 CEDAR DAY 1919 WING to the many forced vacations during the school year, Cedar Day was held on Wednesday of commencement week in- stead of on May 14, which has heretofore been customary. Since Cedarville was celebrating her quarter Century Centennial the Cedar Day exercises were suited to the occasion. The march of the Years headed by Father Time represented the life of the college since it was established. Miss Marguerite Gilkey, '19, was crowned Queen by Miss Helen Oglesbee, who was Queen of Democracy the preceding year. The May Pole and Fairy dances were given in honor of the newly crowned queen. Mr. Morton Creswell, '20, delivered the Cedar Day oration. After the exercises of the morning those who had witnessed the festivities enjoyed a basket lunch on the campus. In the afternoon the crowd gathered at the baseball diamond where they witnessed a game between Antioch and Cedarville, in which Cedarville was defeated by the small score of 3 to 1. That evening an entertainment was given in the opera house by the Y. W. and Y. M. The beautiful day and the enthusiasm of the crowd helped to make this the best Cedar Day ever observed. M.• W. 48
