1936 Cedrus Yearbook

le ks 35 -e ie la 11, la "Y 3- s- 1935 and 1936 WOMEN'S BIBLE CONTEST The Women's Bible Reading Contest was held Sabbath evening, March 29, 1936, in the United Presbyterian Church. This contest is sponsored by Miss Margaret B. Rife, an alumna of Cedarville College. This contest is an annual event and is always anticipated by the girls of the college. The Mixed Chorus, directed by Mrs. Margaret J. Work, and accompanied by Miss Dorotha Corry, furnished the music. The contest was a close one this year and the winners are as follows: first prize, a tie, Majel Por- ter and Christine Tobias; second prize, Gladys Bumgarner; third prize, Betty Fisher, and fourth prize, Rachel Creswell. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The annual Junior Class Play was presented the fifth of March in the Cedarville Opera House. The Play, "Forever True," was presented by a cast con- sisting of Ruth Kimble, Esther Waddle, Dorothy Anderson, Betty Fisher, John Richards, Gale Ross, John Tobias, and Paul Angell. Miss Glenna Basore ably directed the play. The plot centers around a family of wealthy Americans whose son married an Irish girl, bringing her to America to live with his family. The mother was very jealous and systematically began her at- tack to drive the girl away. This was done and the Play jumps to the present, and the daughter takes the stage. She is brought from Ireland by friends of the family and tries her best to win the heart of her father. An aunt who makes her home with the father tries to do to the daughter just what the mother did before her. In this she was foiled by the faithful Irish butler, and the story ended hap- ly for all. The Junior class is grateful to Miss Basore without whom the play could not have been a success. METHODIST PARTY The Epworth League of the Methodist Church delightfully entertained the students and faculty of Cedarville College at a leap year party in the Al- ford Memorial Gymnasium on March 17, 1936. The party began with a grand march, followed by musical and folk games of European and Ameri- can origin. Refreshments following the St. Pat- rick's Day color scheme were served. A Friendship Prayer Circle, during which the group sang "Follow the Gleam" and observed a few moments of silent prayer, completed the eve- ning's entertainment. FRESHMAN WEEK People walking backwards, girls without make-up, boys with make-up, a strange vision of the future? No! Just Freshman Week at Cedarville College. It seemed to many Freshmen the requirements were endless. Many rather timid Freshmen studi- ously memorized their duties for each day. We had to bow to every upper classman. Woe to them that refused! We had to wear clothes back- wards, wear shoes that weren't mates and do many other humiliating things. However, most Freshmen secretly enjoyed themselves during this week. Many boys had romantic moonlight hikes during this time—but by themselves. The climax of the week came on Thursday. At this time the girls had the task of scrubbing a wheelbarrow full of mud off the college steps. The boys had the pleasant experience of running around the baseball diamond while the Sophomore boys applied their belts most advantageously. Then came the tug-of-war. This was held at Wil- low Bend. The Freshman boys had an invigorating swim. A snake dance over town and a huge bonfire on the college campus closed Freshman Week for another year. The Freshmen were now a full- fledged part of the Student Body. Page Sixty-three
