2007 Miracle Yearbook

he first memory many have of their time at Cedarville is the road here. From cities and towns across the country,everyone makesthe initial drive down Route 72 past cornfields and soybeans,with a loaded trunk and far more gadgets than they'll ever have time to use once that first 8a.m.class hits. Small towns have many charms. For college towns like Cedarville,these charms are town and college favorites. Music and coffee at Beans'n Cream,pizza parties at Colonial's, daily six-inch specials from Subway,and ice cream cravings satisfied by Mom & Dad's -- the town has a lot of character to add to the Cedarville experience. This year,Beans'n'Cream started"Acoustic Nights,"featuring local talent and serving as a respite from the ever-present need to study. Further out,students enjoyed the shade of rocks,trees,and wildlife at the Cedarville Gorge and John Bryan State Park. Hiking to the Fort Ancient Indian mounds,disc golfing at Wittenburg and Antioch, perusing the shops down Main Street in Yellow Springs,and enjoying the relaxing nature ofYoung's Dairy are special activities everyone loves to enjoy — even if it's during that first awkward pick-a-date. Junior Erin Cahilly jokingly sums up her trips to Young's:"pestering cows,pretending to golf, plenty offun, permanent memories!' For movies and fine dining,one usually heads to the cluster oftheaters thirty minutes or so from campus. For senior Jessica Annable,"A movie in Beavercreek with some Target snacks snuck in? I don't think a Friday could get any better!' As is true with all campuses,no matter where students go after they turn down Main Street,the same road that leads in, leads out,and many take it,just as long as that means getting back by curfew.
