2011 Miracle Yearbook

HOMECOMING "Road Trip: Find Your Way Back" was the theme for this year's homecoming weekend. The first weekend in October was preceded by a week of alumni chapels showing the current students of Cedarville how to uphold the theme for the year, Real-World Impact. Even De Maurice Smith,the head of the NFL Player's Association, made an appearance during the week this year. Reunions were spaced throughout the weekend, making time for volleyball and soccer games, and even an alumni baseball game. Homecoming traditions brought back old times for alumni and created new memories for new students, especially those just entering Cedarville. Living up to the theme of the weekend, floats in the annual Homecoming Parade ranged from "Back-to-the-Future" to OPE's comical version of the Exodus, claiming it as "The First Road Trip." Even the library workers joined in the parade with carts made to look like cars. Staff and students passed out yellow and blue balloons to onlookers, throwing out candy along the way. Saturday started bright and sunny, the weather perfect for the annual parade, but soon turned rainy and cloudy; Cedarville homecoming attendants were not deterred. Instead of allowing the weather to dampen their spirits, the student body-elected "royalty" kept their spirits up and the smiles on their faces. Like every year, the weekend blurred together in reunions with old friends and remembering and reliving the Cedarville experience, if only for two days. Cedarville knows how to have a homecoming and knows how to keep its students coming back, even after they graduate. "I love when the alumni come back. In twenty years, I want to come back and see all the changes that have happened on Cedarville's campus, just like I imagine so many of the visitors today do."
