2005 Miracle Yearbook

Junior Senior The night began with an hour-long drive to Columbus and then a walk from the parking garage along busy downtown streets Inside the massive Columbus Convention Center,girls in sparkly dresses and guys in tuxes found their way to the ballroom, entering through a lobby full of easels displaying artwork The ballroom boasted a beautiful 1940s era car,candles,tall and colorful floral arrangements,and a star background for the stage. Music filled the evening speakers spread the melodies of Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington over the ballroom as guests milled around. Emcees Andrew and Rachel Rodriguez sang a little with the full band onstage; they also verbally recapped highs and lows in the seniors' past four years. After dinner, CU alumni Randy Relker, Josh Canfield, and Neysa Fuller wooed the full room with powerful performances of romantic tunes. Througout the evening, a slide show of student-submitted photos played at the two front corners of the room Senior Christina Papke appreciated this detail; she also noted that "the awards (Brady Bunch, least likely to ever grow up, etc.) were pretty funny." These awards were given to such notables as Ian Ellis, cell phone perpetually at his ear. Another video presentation included SGA chaplain Derek Zelenka interviewing Greg Guiler and John Farrell,two former SGA chaplains,sharing their memories of Cedarville The night ended with a birthday cake in Dr. Brown's honor and applause for class sponsors the Sims and JS committee advisors the Buttons Then guests were free to mill around and, in the words of senior Matt Molby,"take pictures of each other to preserve a memory comprised of walking around taking pictures of each other Next was a quick jaunt in the pouring rain back to cars, and then to after-parties, perhaps the Cheesecake Factory, or out to coffee. Senior Beth Stahl summed up the evening."It was a fabulous night Hannah Vitt helps Dr. Brown celebrate his brithday with a cake and a chorus of "Happy Birthday." Dr. Brown appreciated the well-wishings of everyone at JS, though he wouldn't say how old he was. Kristen Banas and fiance Jason Salsbury."I almost didn't go to JS this year, but it turned out to be an unforgettable night It was great to share that evening with dear friends with whom I have made so many memories and who have impacted my life so deeply over the past four years," Kristen said 260 Spring Mir Seniors reminisce over a classy dinner while a slide show replays photos taken
