1942 Cedrus Yearbook

POT POU 1. Mixer—To start the year right, and to get acquainted with everyone, the Y. M. and Y. W. sponsored a mixer at the gym. We all enjoyed square dances and folk games with freshman Jean Ferguson officiating at the piano. The Virginia Reel was enjoyed by everyone — but the prize of the evening went to the coach. He not only enjoyed himself, but kept the rest of us amused. 2. The Pajama Parade — Always an ex- citing event, it was an activity of the year which the girls will never forget. First there's the excitement of slipping out in the dead of night, then attempted serenades, exploration of back alleys, and a plentiful supply of cold water from unexpected directions. Rumor said that Bea Williams even explored a horse trough in the vicinity of Hartman's during the evening. 3. In the Fall, the Faculty gave a reception for students of the college and their parents. During the evening the Cedarville College Or- chestra under the direction of Mr. Bass ap- peared in public for the first time. The Orches- tra presented several numbers which were very well received. Doris Williams sang, Mr. Bass played a violin solo, Miss Basore gave some readings and Wanda Hughes, Mrs. Reinhard, and Pres. Kilpatrick gave short speeches. 4. Hallowe'en Party — At the time of ghosts and witches and things, the churches went to- gether to give the college one of the best parties of the year. Everyone came all masked, and after parading in front of the judges prizes were given for best costumes. The decorations consisted of lots of corn shocks, pumpkins, and other things suitable for Hallowe'en. Games were enjoyed by everyone, and appropriate re- freshments were served. 5. The Chi Mu Delta Fraternity sponsored a "V for Victory" Dance at Alford Memorial Gym. The boys carried out the patriotic theme in their red, white, and blue decorations with large flags at both end of the gym. The grand march, during which the frat Greek letters were formed, ended in a large V and a salute to the flag. One of the most enjoyable dances of the year followed. 6. The Y. W. Thanksgiving Committal Ser- vice was held at the First Presbyterian Church with Pres. Orsadee Stewart presiding. Al- though this service is held yearly, it seems to take on a new significance each time. White dresses and candlelight add to the words of dedication and make the service remembered. Doris Williams and Dorothy Clark provided music for the evening and Mrs. Lenora Mac- Millan was accompanist. Readers were Bea O'Bryant and Rachel Neal. 7. The Y. W. girls held their Secret Pal Christmas Party at the Dorm. This event gives us an opportunity to become better acquainted with the wives of the faculty and of the min- isters. Velma Henderson conducted an inter- esting "Truth or Consequences" quiz game,and we all enjoyed those refreshments which were left after the boys visited the kitchen secretly. Perhaps their visit accounts for the search for cars which followed. 8. We celebrated our first basketball vic- tory of the year against Giffin at one of our first homes games with a triumphant snake dance led all over town by Layden "Buck" Wilson. The course ran through the various stores, lanes, and by-ways of the town as well as the main streets, and gradually wandered back to the club where the evening ended with dancing. f, 1 THIS IS CED A R V IL L E CO L L
