1921 Cedrus Yearbook

1921 students and faculty of Cedarville College as they make preparations to return for another year of work and fellowship together. The reception, held September 17, three days after the opening of the present college year, marked the first of the many en- joyable social events of 1920-'21. During the first part of the evening it was a pleasure to see little groups collected in various parts of the room, laughing and talk- ing, perhaps discussing the events of the summer vacation and bidding welcome to the new students. One of the most amusing contests centered about the search for the best conversationalist among the girls. The decision of the boys in favor of Millie Parker was practically unanimous. It is not to be doubted that the former students and the newcomers left the reception, feeling that the spirit of Cedarville College and the loyal interest of the Christian Endeavorers were worth cultivating. E. B. B. EPWORTH LEAGUE RECEPTION One week after the reception at the Reformed Presbyterian Church, the Epworth Leaguers of the Methodist Church royally entertained the students and faculty of the College. A number of carefully-planned games and contests were enjoyed. Groups of four or five were formed by matching parts of familiar songs. It was the duty of each group, while eating the two-course luncheon to practice the particular song which had been made by putting together the slipsof paper. Concerning the songs, which each group was obliged to sing for the enjoyment of the others, suffice it to say that some were musical, some unmusical and some non-musical. At a late hour, as the last echoes of the music died away, all departed homeward. E. B. B. UNITED PRESBYTERIAN RECEPTION On the evening of October 22, the students and faculty of the College enjoyed a unique and original theatrical treat, given by the Christian Union of the United Presbyterian Church. Ushers met the guests at the door and conducted them to special reserved seats. Soon the curtain was lifted which disclosed the mysteries of the theatrical managers. The splendid dramatic entertainment might be called a medley, composed of vaudeville, motion pictures, musical concert, grand opera and "darktown" minstrel. The thoughtful managers had even provided for the time-worn custom of a visit to the "Greek's" following the evening's performance. After finding partners' all went to the Sabbath School room for refreshments. The carefully plannedenter- tainment had certainly been a success. E. B. B. 43
