1932 Cedrus Yearbook

CEDRUS only, and could never precede an upper classman through a door. Also we had to pass through all doors in the buildings backwards. Then there was a rule where- by we should ask permission to speak by saying,"May a poor, Green, little freshman express his viewpoint?" You see they thought we would be bashful and not ask them for permission, but they soon found out we had some viewpoints, and then they wished they had placed a time limit on our statements. The first day of the week we had to wear our coats inside out and our ties down the back. We looked like either Prime Ministers or Deacons. From then on we had to walk backwards on the campus, wear pockets wrong side out, and carry our belongings in a bucket. I can remember, Dad, the last time you licked me, but what hurt me more was the paddling I got from the upper classmen when we freshies had to shove a bucking machine around the football field so the upper classmen could paddle us if we didn't push hard enough. The thing I will always remember most concerning my freshman days in college is the Freshmen-Sophomore pull. This was a tug-of-war across Willow Bend, where the freshmen were pulled in the creek by the sophomores. I hope we have the same luck next year in getting to pull in a bunch of freshies who haven't learned how to pull in a tug-of-war. I always want to remember this week at Cedarville College as one of the outstanding events in my college life. Your son, C. A. D. WAFFLE BREAKFAST • On the morning of April 20 the Alford Memorial Gymnasium was a place of purposeful activity, for that was the morning of the annual waffle breakfast served by the Y. W.girls. In the kitchen the cooks were busily preparing delicious waffles, while in the dining room the waitresses were serving those waffles to eager custom- ers and the cashier was receiving cash and making change for the customers already well-filled and satisfied. All in all, the event was very successful, and the patronage of both the townsfolk and the college students and professors was gratefully appreciated. Sixty-eight
