1938 Cedrus Yearbook

FRESHMAN CLASS Richard McKnight Louise Jacobs Elisabeth Anderson Justin Northup September 8th, 1937, forty-three Freshmen were registered at Cedarville College. As if these Freshmen were not sufficiently afflicted with homesickness and embarassment, the Sophomores with the aid of the Juniors and Seniors, heaped torment upon affliction. There were white-faced girls seen on the campus in pigtails and boots, car- rying pillow slips. There were boys with extra rosy cheeks and red lips, with hairbows and jewelry, carrying waste paper baskets. There were also a lot of upper classmen with the "tummy" ache because they had eaten too many suckers. There were rumors of long rides and walks in the darkness along strange roads. And finally there was a general ducking at Willow Bend; but the Freshmen persevered They knew what they were after and they knew they could get it at Cedarville College as soon as the upper classmen forgot their jealousy. One day during the first few weeks of school, they met in Dr. McChesney's room to organize. James Anderson, president of the student body, undertook the task of presiding over that quiet group. Getting nominations was like pulling teeth for nobody seemed to know anybody. After much patience was displayed by Mr. Ander- son, and a little "loosening up" on the part of the freshmen, the fol1owing officers were elected: Richard McKnight, president; Louise Jacobs, vice-president; Elizabeth Anderson, secretary; Justin Northrup, treasurer; Mary Jean Townsley, news reporter; and Doris Ramsey, student council representative. 13 R( Mtge Thirty
