1922 Cedrus Yearbook

CIF The Rangers Club T HE latest organization to be established is the Rangers Club. Those who in previous years have assisted in the campaigns for new students have been met on every side with the questions—Where is Cedarville College? What kind of a college is it? Why don't we hear more about it? In order to answer these questions and to arouse some enthusiasm for our college, this club has been organized. The Rangers Club functions on Fridays. It is then that we assemble at some con- venient place shortly after the noon hour and pack ourselves into the three waiting automobiles, which carry us more or less comfortably to our destination. We specialize in High Schools, for one of our purposes is to in- terest prospective students in the advantages of a higher education. The coming of the Rangers is heralded throughout that community by the High School pupils living there, and upon our arrival, we usually find an enthusiastic crowd assembled. In presenting our program, we believe that one of our greatest assets is variety. There are fifteen members of the club, and each is prepared with three or four numbers of entertainment or instruction, and we pride ourselves on being able to give a good program varying in length from fifteen minutes to four hours, and in character from the sublime to the ridiculous. Our program contains an address by Dr. Mc- Chesney,selections by the male quartette, duets, a couple of short talks, a great variety of readings, a one-act play, and all the pep that we can put into our college songs and yells. The members of this organization are well repaid for their efforts, for besides the pleasure derived from the trips and the applause of the stage we are fed at the expense of the college, and any restaurant or soda fountain owner whom we have visited can testify that we are most aggressive at the table. It takes time to reap the fruits of our efforts, but if the pleased expression upon the faces of our audiences and their applause is an in- dication of their attitude toward old C. C., then the Rangers Club has attained some degree of success. H.B. 79
