1924 Cedrus Yearbook

CEDRUS 1924 The College Club NAMINIFIM NE OF THE CHIEF CENTERS of attraction at Cedarville College is the College Club located in the basement of the library. Here it is that the thoughts of many of our students fondly linger, for it is our eating house and has an irresistable fascination for some. Every day a noisy, ravenous crowd gathers below the library and waits for the bell which sounds the signal for a rush to the dining room. Around the tables we learn to know each other well, for under the influence of plenty of good food the bars of reserve are lowered and the true disposition shows forth. A discreet exercise of the powers of observation reveals some truly startling things, and we are quite confident that we have discovered a sufficient cause for the excess of corpulence which some of our members so loudly bewail. The devoted couples who eat together day after day are another source of interest. After careful consideration we have come to the conclusion that the looks of consternation on the faces of certain of our young men are produced by the alarm- ing prospect of the amount of foodstuffs he may have to buy in the near future. On the other hand, we have been confidentially informed that these same young men have caused great alarm because of the great quantity of food they devour. Of course there are times when the crowd gets hilarious and even the shy become rash. Then it is that some unsuspecting person may be startled by the sight of his food swimming in a pool of water—an unsolicited contribution from a near neighbor. Naturally a lot of joking and teasing go on•while we cat, but most of us have learned, and experience has taught us, to enter into the fun and contrib- ute some ourselves. However we do not become unmanagable, for we realize that college attend- ance should impart some sort of dignity and, moreover, several members of the fac- ulty eat with us to restrain us, if necessary, from.behaving like the Goops. This whole year long we have enjoyed ourselves at the Club, and we'll long remember the place where we ate, drank and were merry. H. S. and E. B. \st‘ - • 7 ..••• Sixty
