1924 Cedrus Yearbook

.1•411.411.4111 The CEDRUS 1924 Church Receptions HE FIRST SOCIAL EVENT of the season was* a reception given by the Christian Endeavor Society of the Reformed Presbyterian Church. This was given the first Friday after college began in order that the new students might be given a welcome, and that all might get ac- quainted. The girls wrote interesting descriptions of themselves, which were bought by the boys, Mr. Markle making an efficient auctioneer. In this way we secured our partners for supper. We went to the basement and while we ate many yells and songs were given by the various groups. After many games were played we went home, feeling that we had a finer crowd of students in Cedarville College than any year before. Later in the year the students and faculty were entertained at a reception given by the Epworth League of the Methodist Church. By this time we had be- come so well acquainted that it was not difficult to plan an entertainment for the evening. Many old-fashioned games were played, such as Dusty Miller, Spinning the Pan, and Charades. A good supper was served. The crowd left, at a late hour, and thus we had enjoyed another pleasant evening together. The Valentine Party On February 14th the students and faculty of Cedarville College were royally entertained by Dr. and Mrs. W. R. McChesney at their home on Xenia Avenue. Everything had been planned in keeping with St. Valentine's Day. The most inter- esting feature of the evening was the opening of a large valentine box which had been stuffed to overflowing by the students. This caused much amusement, because not all the valentines received were beautiful. Miss Somers and Dr. McChesney distributed the valentines. ' Groups were chosen for supper in a very clever way and we wended our way to the dining room. A most delicious repast was served. Mr. Markle, who sat by the cupboard in the dining room, acted as assistant caterer. As soon as the first course had been served Markle reached into the cupboard and passed themustard, followed by apple sauce, butter, cheese, horseradish, jelly and peach chop. We are not sure what would have been passed next, had Mrs. McChesney not appeared on the scene. After supper we sang old songs and spent an evening full of mirth and song. We left feeling that we had spent a very pleasant evening with our President and his family. (Zt -7:- I lyo • 4e. 4 • •r--- Sixty-nine
