1942 Cedrus Yearbook

The Slav the Student Cawleil This year, as in years past, the Student Body organized the Student Council. Originally, this organization served as staff and publishers of Cedarville College's weekly paper, The Whis- pering Cedars, along with acting as the student governing body. Through the ensuing years, however, it has become entirely devoted to its work of solving the civic problems of the students, leaving the Whispering Cedars Staff to publish the school paper. In various years since its creation in 1933 the President of the college and the deans of the men and women have represented the fac- ulty as members of the "Student" Council, but since 1938 they have not been present to act as active members in the regular Council meet- ings. Most meetings took place without the presence of faculty members. The faculty has been considered, of course, and has been well represented in all meetings where discussion of problems directly concerning them, or their relations with the students have taken place. Being started and continued with the thought in mind that cooperation is necessary for the good of all, Cedarville College's 1942 student council has acted accordingly. Priding itself in its democratic ways, the council has given careful consideration to several problems of student relationship in the past year. In its first meeting it decided upon the short- ening of the second semester. This was acted upon by a faculty recommendation and in the presence of faculty represented advisors. The proposed recommendation was accepted, a plan drawn up by which the shortening could be accomplished, a revision in daily and Com- mencement Week schedules made, and the whole presented to the entire student body for their acceptance. Another meeting of the Council and advisors was called to consider and accept another change in schedule to conform with the ad- vance in time proposed by the federal gov- ernment. Similar meetings were held when a decision was made to revise the old rule book and bring it up to date. This revision is at present still in progress. The establishment of an honor roll was made by the council this year by which the names of those students having a B average or better are to be published each semester. The Student Council this year was ably conducted by Robert Guthrie, Student Body President and well represented for the Seniors by Bea Collier and E. Clayton Wiseman, for the Juniors by Bea Williams and Lee Miller, for the Sophomores by Betty Ervin and R. Henry Campbell, and for the Freshmen by Doris Williams and Louis Sweet. 1. The memories of this Easter communion service will live in our hearts forever. No student of Cedarville College will forget the inspiring speeches given in our chapel by people from all parts of the world. 2. An athlete and a scholar who comes from across the street is freshman Keith Wright. Although just a "little fellow," he was active in both basketball and baseball. He also handled sports writeups for the newspapers. 3. Dorothy Bogeruife who comes from Mt. Sterling, Ohio, is an elementary teacher who graduates this year. "Dot" stays with Miss Basore and has been Prof. Steele's right hand man for three years in N.Y.A. work. 4. Chemistry has become an important part of everyday life within this last year. Cedarville is doing its part in the great "speed up" program to start young men on their way in the field of chemistry. 5. A product of a neighboring village of Jamestown is Miss Mary Eloise Klatt. She's standing at the door of her "Red Dragon," which is fast becoming a campus tradition. 6. John Sanders hails from London, Ohio, and is the mainstay of the baseball team's pitching staff.
