The College Club I T IS OFTEN SAID that some people eat to live, others live to eat but our College Club certainly shows no manifestations of the former class. You may ask,"What is this College Club?" Is it a gathering place for songs and friendly chats, a place to meet our fellow students out of the classroom?" Yes it is this and more; so much more that its popularity would be tremend- ously decreased but for the fact that three times a day, every morning, noon and night a crowd of noisy ravenous people gather in one room below the library, im- patiently await a signal bell, and then bolt for a room with a peculiar aromatic fascina- tion, just opposite the one they occupied. They emerge shortly after as noisy as be- fore but the ravenous look has disappeared—a wonderful contentment lights each countenance. What has happened in that irresistably fascinating room? This room has caused consternation along various lines, some of which it would he well to investigate. The very apparent corpulency that so many of our members bewail, can be traced, I fear to this room. Money is the root of all evil, but food is surely the root of all fat. The awe in which some young men are held, not because of their intelligence or.looks but because of their unlimited capacity, has its birth, in, —this room. Even the cause of certain wash days may be traced to this room, but we do not often become so hilarious that a glass of water or morsel of food come unbidden with such dire effects. For all our foolishness and seeming infancy We can be very dignified and proper when occasion demands, or just after a gentle reminder from higher authorities. Such reproofs bare well taken and heeded, for we understand the necessity of being able to conduct ourselves with the dignity of college students, the most severe test to pass, being this very intimate gathering of ours—the club. So all year long we have striven to conduct ourselves as in our own homes, en- joying to the fullest extent our food and our friends, and always remember the rooms in the basement of Cedarville College Library—Our Club.
