1938 Cedrus Yearbook

SOPHOMORE CLASS THE 1938 CEDRUS John Peterson Genevieve Jesson Catherine Harbaugh Monroe Pyles In the fall of 1936, we began our short but extremely eventful college careers. Our first move was to select Eldon Gillespie as our president and in this capacity he effectively guided our activities throughout the term. We patiently endured the humiliating experiences of Freshman Week. The most easily recalled catastrophe of this ordeal was suf- fered at Willow Bend, when our boys only after a titanic struggle, were pulled headlong into its icy waters. After this annual affair we seemed to get along much better with the upper classmen and by the end of the term had firmly established ourselves as worthy representatives of this fine old school. This year the majority of our 1936-37 group has returned. This time we chose suave John Peterson as our chairman and he has ably conducted our progress throughout the majority of another college year. We are particularly proud of our representatives in athletics. In basketball we were fortunate in placing a man on the varsity quintet. Several other Sophomores participated in this sport. With spring baseball swinging into its first practice sessions, the Sophomores find themselves well represented by many eager appli- cants for varsity berths. Several of these men stand excellent chances for regular positions. We have also received favorable recognition in the fields of scholarly endeavor and included within our group are several who rank high in music, dramatics and other worthwhile activities. We have been happy in pursuing our studies in the delightful atmosphere provided by the college and surrounding community, and - by the sincere and altogether wholesome environment created by our beloved faculty. Therefore, it is our desire that during our short stay at Cedarville our presence here will add to, rather than detract from this atmosphere, and that we as a class may profit accordingly.
