1938 Cedrus Yearbook

Y. W.COMMITTAL SERVICE The members of the Y. W. C. A. reconsecrated themselves in a lovely candle- light service at the Presbyterian Church, November 18th. The freshmen girls took the vow for the first time. The service was introduced by a fifteen-minute organ recital by Martha Bryant and impressive music furnished by the girls quartet. The girls, old members and new, lighted their candles from those of the cabinet and followed the president in a lovely recessional. CLASS TOURNAMENT The first game of the class tournament between the Sophomores and the Seniors was the highlight of the tournament. It seemed certain victory for the Sophs, who were leading one point with only ten seconds to go, when Kenny Sanderson looped in a one hand shot from the corner of the floor. In the second game of the tournament the Freshmen won easily by a score of 36 to 24. The finals proved to be a battle from the start; however, the Seniors suc- ceeded in nosing out the Freshmen 36 to 31. This was the second straight year these boys won the class tournament. A beautiful blue and gold cup was presented to the Senior team. METHODIST PARTY On September 28th, 1937, the Epworth League of the Methodist Church enter- tained the student body and faculty at the college gymnasium. The group entered wholeheartedly into a snake dance, the couples winding in and out among the secluded spots of Cedarville. Entertainment in the form of musical games was conducted by members of the Young People's Department of the Methodist Church, and the party was concluded with delicious refreshments served by the mothers of these young people. HALLOWE'EN PARTY Spooks and witches reigned at the college gymnasiumon October 28th during the annual Hallowe'en Festival. The guests entered the back door and wound their way through a long, dark passageway filled with air blasts, electric shocks, dead rats, and ghosts. Appropriate decorations of fodder, pumpkins, and autumn leaves filled the gymnasium. Everyone was requested to be masked as a "hayseed," and the group presented a strange assortment of country parsons, constables, scarecrows, and just plain "hicks." After a lively entertainment consisting of rustic contests, the Virginia Reel, and other games, delightful refreshments of apples, doughtiuts, and cider were served. PRESBYTERIAN PARTY An "Indoor Track Meet" was held Thursday evening, September 9th, in the parlors of the First Presbyterian Church. On this occasion the faculty and students of the college were guests of the Christian Endeavorers. As they arrived, the students were divided into four groups representing Cedarville and three of its keenest rivals in collegiate circles. Strangely enough, running off the events of the meet revealed just who may be called "sober-sides," "best needle threaders," and "string-chewers." Cedarville, of course, was victorious. Refreshments were served in the dining room. The evening was closed with a song and a welcome to the students by Rev. Adams and one of the Endeavorers. Y. M.AND Y.W.MIXER On the evening of September 21, the college was entertained at the gym by the Y. W. and Y. M. The guests were greeted by a committee who gave instructions to hunt names of those who were unknown. The names were used later for a game of bingo. Games of other types were enjoyed during the evening, including the Grand March and other musical games. The evening was climaxed by refreshments of pumpkin pie, cider, and doughnuts served in an elegant manner. Page Sixty-Six
