1931 Cedrus Yearbook

-e CEDRUS Committal Service Our Committal Service this year was indeed lovely and impressive. It was ar- ranged by Frances McChesney, president of Y. W. C. A. of '30—as a Thanks- giving Committal Service. It was held in the Presbyterian Church. As a special feature a half hour organ recital was held before the opening of the service by Mr. Marion Hostetler. The girls, dressed in white, entered the darkened church singing the processional hymn. This year's president Carmen Frazier, opened the service with the lines (ar- ranged by Miss McChesney): Hope giveth us Another year Adventurous To follow the climbing good By thorn and beast withstood To heights of brotherhood. God giveth us Another year All luminous With him our shining source Divine redeeming force Of life's bewildered course Still charioteer. Then the program continued much as the Committal Services have continued for a number of years in Cedarville College Y. W. C. A.—with the old members' testimonies; with the pledging of the new members; and then lastly, the candle- lighting service in the participation of which every girl is always thrilled and inspired. At the close of this part of the Service a beautiful bouquet of flowers was presented Miss McChesney for her splendid contribution toward the success of our Service. Then came the recessional with the girls carrying their lighted candles and singing the Y. W.hymn "Follow the Gleam." Eighty-nine
