1922 Cedrus Yearbook

•::. An Appreciation—The Faculty H AIL to the faculty—the grand and glorious faculty, the dignified faculty, the wise faculty, the ever-helpful and all-inspiring faculty. May glory and honor be theirs forever and a day. We have a wonderful faculty, exceptional from the fact of the variety that abounds in their midst. This is especially noticeable when we calculate the difference in weight of the columns of air misplaced by some few of them. But diversity ceases to exist when we consider the talents, especially the musical talents, of this noble band. Christine Miller and John McCormick are not in their class at all. Israfel would gladly give up his position if but one harmonious strain of their melo- dious renditions could reach his ear. Miss Flory, a product of Old Virginia, is the life of the College; the sudden burst of sunshine on the College winter day, always bring- ing good cheer and gladness to drive away the gloom. While shy Miss Brand, although somewhat retiring, is a real Klondike in herself. Her jewels are numberless and deep-set, and they sparkle out their bright and beautiful influence to all those who know her. We would all be lost without Jurkat and his company of jokes, peanuts and wrinkled apples. And Cedarville College would be a dreary old place indeed, especially if we lost McElhinney and his ever- cheerful smile and his "Good Morning" to us. And Allen—well, he is the worry of us all. He is the Busy Man, but never too busy to lend a helping hand to all who are in difficulties. I need not say that Dr. McChesney, our dear President, is the Hub of the College. He has gladly given his whole life to the great cause that is nearest and dearest to his heart. But he does not do this for the glory that is in it for him,for he could have reached the very zenith offame if he had gone out into the world and sought it. But his glory is in the training of young men and young women in the way that they should go. And the characters that he builds day by day with the aid of his willing helpers are the living monuments that will never be de- stroyed, but will live throughout eternity and will proclaim aloud the deep impressions that have been made upon them.
