1923 Cedrus Yearbook

CEDARVILLE COLLEGE Y. M.C. A. There are three phases to every college education, in order that it may be a true education, namely; the Spiritual, the Mental, and the Physical. The Y. M. C. A. helps to complete the spiritual life of every student, in fact it was with this idea in mind that the present organization began its career some seventeen years ago. Since that time the Y. M. C. A. has grown in numbers, in works, and in spiritual uplift for every student. Although the attendance at the meetings held every Wednesday morning is not compulsory, yet the most of the boys feel it a duty as well as a privilege to attend such inspiring and helpful meetings. During the past year our organization has enjoyed a number of instructive as well as interesting addresses by various noteworthy people. Mr. H. L. Seamens, State Student Secretary, visited us shortly after school opened, giving us great encouragement for the coming year, as well as outlining the work for us, and delivering a fine address concerning his trip throughout Europe the past summer. We were also favored by fine messages from the local ministers, Rev. Harriman and Dr. White, of Cedarville, and Rev. Colman, of the Clifton Presbyterian Church. Each of these men delivered a scholarly and inspiring address. During the second semester, Mrs. J. P. White presented at four consecutive meetings of the Y. M.and Y. W.,a series of talks, using as her general topic,"INDIA." We are certainly very grateful to Mrs. White for these precious talks, delivered in her very pleasing and attractive manner. The regular meetings were led by various students, thus enabling each student to appear before a group of young men and direct their thoughts for that day. Although our Y. M.has not completed all the tasks which it set out to perform, yet we feel that it has passed another milestone with one of the most successful years in its history. The officers for the year 1922-1923 are: Donald Wickerham, President; Earle Collins, Vice-President; Gavin Reilly, Secretary; Arthur Findley, Treasurer. M.E. C. 68
