1934 Cedrus Yearbook

MEN'S BIBLE READING CONTEST The annual men's Bible Reading Contest was held in the Presbyterian Church Novem- ber 12, 1933, before a capacity audience. In awarding the prizes Dean Steele did not ex- press his regrets that there were not prizes for all contestants but instead presented each of the twelve with a pocket testament. This year the fifteen dollar prize money annually offered by Dr. C. M. Ritchie was divided among five readers instead of three as was the custom in past years. The winners in the order in which they placed were Paul Gordon, Walter Kil- patrick, Homer Murray, Franklin Trubee and Donald Burkert. "BIG BUSINESS" The Cedrus play proved a riot of laughter, and was well presented. We shall never forget W. B. McCallister, as Battling Malone, and the serious trouble he had with his liver. Nor shall we forget his wife, Lizzie (Doris Hartman) the scrub woman. The leading man was played by Bud Chamberlain and (though not true to form) how he did dislike women! We must not omit, in looking over the line-up, to mention Dorotha Corry as the fat cousin from the city—she certainly had a rounded outlook on life! Eleanor Bull, one of the office girls, should make demonstrations for a chewing gum factory. Carma Hostetler, the other half of the office force, was, as usual, quiet but affectionate. Tindall and his sister, Jane West, carried out plans which meant war to the finish. She certainly knows how to get her man! Bob Ross, a renting agent, was quite a schemer while Harriet Ritenour, the rich aunt, and her physician, Lois Cultice, climaxed the schemes. It was a good play—thanks to Miss Basore, who directed it. STYLE SHOW Unique and fascinating was the Style Show sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. at the Gym on the evening of March 2, 1934. An interesting program was arranged to fit the occasion and those attending were convinced that it was one of the most interesting entertainments of its type that they had ever seen. Mrs. Heintz as "mistress of ceremonies" announced the program and, with a verse of poetry which she "ist made up herself", described the dresses worn by each girl taking part. The following program was presented: Cedar Needles Quartet, singing "A Little Song of Long Ago" and "Grandmother's Garden"; Portrait Sketch presented by Jane West and Nine Stevenson; little Clara Galloway sang "The Old Spinning Wheel"; the Orange and Blue Serenaders sang "In Those Good Old Times"."The Mechanical Jane", a short sketch, was enacted by Doris Hartman, Lois Cultice and Glenna Basore. A musical skit, "Hats", was presented by the double quartet. The final number was the picturesque Parade of Wed- ding Gowns dating from 1850 to the present time. A quilt display also drew many "ahs and ohs", there being coverlets of old and quilts of modernistic design. The show was a decided success, thanks to all who helped make it so. Page Sixty-two
