2011 Miracle Yearbook

4 212 SPRING HAPPENINGS Spring a time when the ground thaws, but not in Cedarville. This year particularly held us captive to a harsh winter, but eventually the ground did thaw, and the buds did blossom, and in the meantime Cedarville played in the snow. When the weather got too warm for the snow,late spring thunderstorms held the town of Cedarville under flood and tornado watches for weeks. Spring semester is a time when freshmen finally have a firm grasp on the culture of college life and can honestly claim to know what they are doing, and seniors start thinking about their good-byes. Second semester plays host to a number of traditions on campus: the Missions Conference, Lil Sibs weekend, Junior Senior, Elliv, and finally graduation. Among the yearly traditions were a few new events that earned their place in Cedarville's legacy, among them, the International Justice Mission's second annual Impossible Possibilities, a 10k walk/run/relay. This year,the 10K raised over twenty thousand dollars to be donated to a local sex trafficking safe home. "I really loved it. Personally,I really like to run,and this was a great way to do something I enjoy in a competitive manner. And it was for a great cause, which made it all the more delightful," said Chris Pedro, a freshman. Always tinged bittersweet, students said good-bye at the end of spring, some forever and others just until next fall as students drove their broken and beat up cars home into the summer sun. As always, Spring semester brought with it the emergence of new couples, Brock to the Rock,campus golf, and other shenanigans that prove students are really just kids trying to have fun. "Did I hear,'Brock to the Rock'!?" (Zachary Heady) When the(relatively) warm weather hits, engineers break out all the projects they've been working hard on over the winter months. Dodgeball: an Cedarville spring-time favorite. What better way to welcome spring than with some sweet,sugary cotton candy!
