1934 Cedrus Yearbook

MISS HELEN BAKER, Secretary to the President SUMMER SCHOOL The 1933 summer session of Cedarville College began on June 12 and continued until July 21. The enrollment of the collegiate division was fifty-eight while that of the elementary training school, maintained in connection with the normal de- partment, was forty-two. At the conclusion of the term, brief commencement exercises were held, with Dr. Tilford, of Xenia, as speaker, and the graduates were presented with their cer- tificates and diplomas by Prof. Hostetler, the director. The faculty for the summer session was composed of Prof. Hostetler; Miss Carrie M. Rife, Principal of Cedarville High School; Prof. Warner, Superintendent, Bath Township High School, Osborn; Prof. Kuehrmann, and Mrs. R. M. Borst, Cedarville College. PRESBYTERIAN PARTY The Christian Endeavor of the Presbyterian Church entertained the faculty and students on the evening of September 11 on the lawn of the manse. Various group games were played, after which refreshments were served. Judging from the appearance of the watermelon and canteloupe served, we all be- lieved them to have found acres of melons growing somewhere in the vicinity. The evening of fun and frolic was beautifully closed with a friendship circle and a quiet hour. FRESHMAN WEEK Came September, 1933, and with it, forty green and rather timid freshmen, articles of little use other than to please the whims of any passing upperclassman. No task seemed to be too menial or incongruous for a poor freshie to perform. The powers-that-be at Cedarville College ordained that for one week freshmen should answer any reasonable requestsmade by the upperclassmen. Freshmen girls were compelled to sing college songs whenever asked and to bring lollypops for upperclassmen's use. The boys were requested to carry the books of those same dear upperclassmen. In addition, one by one they were familiarized with the country by a committee which took them for rides and came back without them. The vast amount of talent in the illus- trious class of '37 was disclosed in the chapel on Thursday of Freshman Week when a pro- gram was presented by the class. On Friday the freshie girls scrubbed the steps clean with brooms and brushes. This concluded their duties and they became full-fledged members of the student body of C. C. The frosh boys pushed the bucking machine across the football field, with gentle per- suasion from paddles wielded by Junior boys. After this was over freshman week was cli- maxed when the freshies "dunked" the Sophomores in the annual tug-of-war at Willow Bend. Y. W.WELCOME TEA At the Welcome Tea sponsored by the Y.W.C.A., at the home of the president, Jane West, on September 6th, the girls learned to know each other, and life seemed a little brighter for those who were thinking of friends at home whom they had left to come to college. A program of music, readings, and speeches was arranged by the program chairman, Miss Basore. Get-acquainted games were played, songs were sung and the social chairman served tea and wafers. At the close of the afternoon a friendship circle was formed to seal the friendships made, with the singing of "Blest Be the Tie That Binds." Page Fifty-eight
