1939 Cedrus Yearbook

FflSHIIIA 1 CLASS OFFICERS Norman Linton, Janette Neal, Orsadee Stewart, Fred Little. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On Sept. 8, 1938 thirty-one embarrassed and homesick Freshmen set foot on the campus of Cedarville College. On Sept. 22, they met to choose their class officers. The following people were elected: Robert Peterson, president; Orsadee Stewart, vice president; Norman Linton, secretary and treasurer: Jay Peterson, news reporter; and Janette Neal, student council representative. The upper classmen had no pity for these Freshmen; they heaped tor- ment upon trouble. There were many peculiar sights around the campus. Girls with braided hair, unmated shoes and hose, excessive amounts of jewelry, books in buckets, and sacks of candy were a common sight. At that time it was rumored that some of the girls gave Dr. Jurkat candy in order to raise their grades. The tug of war at Willow Bend was rather one- sided. The sophomores used a safety measure, tying the rope to a stump, but the Freshmen (almost) pulled Sophomores, stump and all intothe water. At the beginning of the second semester Robert and Jay Peterson were unable to return. It was necessary that new officers be put in their places. Norman Linton was elected president; Fred Little, secretary and treasurer, and John Reinhard, news reporter. Other officers remained the same. Al- though we have had a few bad moments the year has been an eventful and happy one. We are looking forward to our Sophomore year with great anticipation.
