1938 Cedrus Yearbook

DEBATE TOURNAMENT At 6:30 on the morning of Feb. 25, the debateteams left Cedarville, lyggage and all, for the Manchester-Huntington Debate Tournament. The annual stop was made at "Poppy's" filling station in Richmond where all were filled. Arriving in Hunt- ington at 11:00, the teams were directed to the Hotel La Fontaine for lodging and to the college dining room for lunch. Debates were held Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, the Cedarville teams winning four out of twelve debates. Although the teams did not win as many debates as they might have, the debaters feel that the tournament and the season as a whole has been successful for the experience and knowledge, the contacts and friendships that all acquired. MOTHER - DAUGHTER BANQUET May 6, the girls of the Y.W.C.A. entertained their mothers at the annualMother - Daughter Banquet. The welcome was given by the Y.W. President, Mary Johnston, and the response by Mrs. Fred Townsley. Music was furnished by Beatrice McClellan and Mrs. Helen Jacobs; and the girl's quartet which is composed of Elisabeth Anderson, Rachel Harriman, Mary Jean Townsley, and Junia Creswell. The speaker of the evening was Miss Mary Kyle, a missionary from India home on furlough. She spoke on the "Mothers and Daughters in India." JUNIOR - SENIOR BANQUET In a setting carrying out the theme of the Northwest Territory celebration, the annual Junior-Senior banquet was held at the Dayton Y.M.C.A. on May 12. The tables were beautifully decorated in green and white. At each place, concealing the nut cups and bearing the place cards, stood miniature pioneer women dressed in green and white. On the speaker's table was a replica of an old-fashioned covered wagon. White flowers formed centerpieces on the other tables. After a three course dinner there was a program of speeches and special music. After this program the group attended a moving picture in Dayton. SWIMMING PARTY The Y.W. and Y.M. sponsored an all-college swimming party on April 27 at the Y.W.C.A. swimming pool in Springfield. Thirty-five students attended the party which was chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Ault. The ride to and from Springfield was on a truck and this in itself furnished a good part of the evening's entertainment. After a strenuous two hours in the pool the students returned to Cedarville gaily munching hamburgers as they rode. VESPER SERVICE A lovely vesper service was held in the Cedarville Cliffs under the leadership of the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. The worship service was centered around Jean Francois Millet's famous painting "The Angelus." Justin Hartman, Genevieve Jesson, Cecil Thomas, and John Fox read a story about a woman who received a copy of this painting and how it affected her life. A mixed octet sang several hymns including "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind," "Day Is Dying in the West,'' and Now the Day Is Over. Bennett McNeal played ''Jusat Song at Twilight" on the violin as a musical background for the reading of the story. The service was ended with the singing of "Taps." After the Vesper Service the group enjoyed a wiener roast also held in the cliffs. THE 1938 CEDRUS Page Seventy-One
