Mrs. Work was playing the last march when the boys, according to the custom of Cedarville Col- lege, arrived on the scene. The girls made the boys work for their breakfast and added another successful mock wedding to their history. MEN'S BIBLE READING CONTEST As in previous years, Rev. C. M. Ritchie con- tributed the prizes for the annual Men's Bible Reading Contest which was held in the Presby- terian Church on the evening of October 27. The Winning contestants were: James Anderson, first: Justin Hartman, second; Joseph West, third; Eugene Corry, fourth; Kenneth Sanderson, fifth. This year's contest was particularly significant because 1935 marked the Four-Hundreth Anniversary of the Printed English Bible. CEDAR DAY Cedar Day, 1935, featured an in- teresting and colorful pageant, "The College Rainbow," written and di- rected by Mrs. Anna Collins Smith, '17. The pageant began with the en- trance of the stately May Queen, Luella Robe, and her attendants. After the queen was crowned by the queen of the preceding year, Regena Smith, the ladies-in-wait- ing presented her with her colors representing memory, truth, loyalty, joy, power, and hope. They were bound into her scepter. A beautiful throne decorated with daisies made a lovely setting for the queen and her attendants. After the presentation of the colors to the May Queen, the Goddess of the Rainbow, Eleanor Bull, brought greetings to the queen and created a col- lege rainbow down which she led the student dancers in searching for a hidden treasure. They returned bearing the treasures of Knowledge, Friendship, Appreciation of the Arts, Professional Training, Religion, and World Friendship. These were presented to the queen for the use of all fu- ture generations of Cedarville College students. Ralph Tindall was the master of ceremonies. The pageant featured many dances including the May Pole Dance, the Dance of the Rain Drops, the Sun Dance, and the Dance of the Clouds. Arthur Donaldson played the part of a Court Jester. Walter Linton, the Cedar Day orator, gave a very helpful and inspirational speech in which he compared the game of baseball to life. Frank Owens Custodian The traditional class stunts fol- lowed the presentation of the pageant. The program closed with appropriate remarks given by Dr. McChesney. COMMENCEMENT RECITAL The annual Commencement Re- cital sponsored by the Cedarville College Conservatory of Music was held on Monday evening, June 3, in the Presbyterian Church.
