1932 Cedrus Yearbook

CEDRUS MINSTREL Perhaps the most successful minstrel ever to be given by the Cedarville Col- lege Y. M. C. A. was presented on April 13 at the Opera House. Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Duffy of South Charleston, the minstrel chorus furnished an effective vocal background while the rollicking "Endmen, so gay Drove care away." Jokes, songs and general wholesome hilarity characterized the whole two and a half hours of entertainment. An appreciative audience, which filled the auditorium laughed at the jokes, looked with sympathy upon the soloists and screamed with fright at gruesome Frankenstein act in which real monsters partici- pated. The Revelers' Quartette sang; the famous Hostetler mystified the audience with his magic; and three blackfaced comedians in the persons of Rutan, White and Rife elicited roars of laughter. "Big Profundo" Garlow held the audience in eager anticipation while he sought successfully to achieve a clear low C. Mr. Duffy's orchestra assisted the choruses, and Miss Bull performed so efficiently upon the piano that a great portion of credit for the evening's success is due her. All in all, we doubt if a Cedarville audience was ever more successfully treated to an evening of wholesome fun and we may rest assured that here is ample proof of what Cedarville College men can do along this line of endeavor. J. F. THE LEAP YEAR PARTY,FEBRUARY 29 It was our own fault; the fellows of Cedarville College should have realized how unsafe it was for us—poor, innocent, gullible lads that we are—to allow the Y. W. C. A. to bamboozle us into coming to a party given on such a mystic day as the twenty-ninth of February. Of course the men far outnumbered the girls, but even so those tricky Y. W. people managed to corral many of us into the corner for refreshments—and later. In the most ignominious manner, we had to play Leap Frog to find our dinner partners! Never before had we realized the full import of the term "Leap Year," until we saw the girls playing Wink over our defenseless heads, then spinning the bottle to tell our not-too-complimentary fortunes. Really, though, we did have a very fine time; the party was well planned, and the plans well carried out by the Cabinet members and their helpers. And if the very nature of the thing did not make it impossible, we fellows would wish that this Leap Year party could be made an annual event. W. S. K. Seventy-five
