1942 Cedrus Yearbook

R R 1 !!! 9. The long-anticipated Home-coming was held on February 8. About 250 quests enjoyed the banquet at which Rev. Dwight R. Guthrie was toastmaster and Mr. Ira Vayhinger and Pres. Walter S. Kilpatrick spoke. Doris Wil- liams and Jean Ferguson delightfully enter- tained with music. A thrilling basketball game ended in a heartbreaking instance of history- repeating when we lost by one point. Friendly chats and dancing brought that evening to a close. 10. During the year, two swimming parties were held at the Y. M.C. A. pool in Springfield. Many of the students attended the parties, and all enjoyed this unusual pleasure. For days afterwards several of the girls seemed to talk of nothing but the handsome lifeguard at the pool, but whether he or the sport formed the greater attraction, we all hope for more parties of this sort. 11. The Y. W. St. Patrick's Buffet Luncheon on Mar. 17 attracted many townspeople as well as faculty and students of the college. The suc- cess of the Luncheon was due to the efficient planning and capable management of our Social Chairman, Helen O'Bryant. Elleanor Young handled the publicity aspect with green shamrock posters, and the gym was appro- priately decorated in green and white for the occasion by Laurel Diltz and her committee. 12. The Freshman Class sponsored a Hay Ride for the whole college on Mar. 26. Fred Lewis drove the large tractor which drew two wagons full of riders over the picturesque roads back of Cedarville. An unfortunate adventure in Yellow Springs proved that Ed. Weddle who had been following in his private "hay seed" was, contrary to expectations, a "sheep in wolf's clothing," and hero of the evening. 13. A bright highlight of the year was the Spring Semi-Formal Dance sponsored by the Chi Sigma Phi Sorority, which was held April 11, at the Gym. The evening found many of the Alumni back to renew friendships and to dance to the music of Cedric Adams and his orchestra from Springfield. The gym was beautifullydecorated, and the evening is one which will long be remembered. 14. The Y. W.girls always look forward to the opportunity to entertain their mothers at the Mother-Daughter banquet which occurred this year on May 8. Our speaker was Chesta Fulmer, writer for the Dayton Herald. Orsadee Stewart presided, and introduced her cabinet as well as the officers for the next year to the mothers. Appropriate music was presented by the girls during the evening. 15. The Junior-Senior Banquet was held in Cedarville this year. A lovely dinner was served at the Methodist Church by the church women, and enjoyed by members of the two classes and their guests, and the faculty mem- bers and wives. After the banquet everyone who cared to, adjourned to the gym to spend the evening dancing. A patriotic scheme was used for the decorations. Lee Miller, head of Junior Class, had charge of the arrangements for the evening. 16. This year fifteen students of the college faced the final test of their college education by tackling the difficult problem of practice teach- ing. Eight girls in the elementary field each taught two different subjects in the public school during the second semester. Some of the High School teachers taught during the first semester, and some during the second. We wish all of them all the success in the world next year. I N NINE TE E N F 0 R T Y TWO
