I was reminded this Thanksgiving season of Mrs. Cedarholm leading the choir in "Thanks to God for my Redeemer." When we would sing the verse about thanks for roses by the wayside, thanks for thorns their stems contain, she would act like the thorns were poking her wrists. I never fail to remember that whenever we sing that song. . . many fond, fond memories! --SuzAnne Albright

I remember him running at ballgames waving the pep stick, getting everyone to yell. I loved his song leading in chapel with his very stiff movements & coming completely off the floor. And in chapel as special events neared,he always encouraged everyone to have a date. He was quite meek sounding until he wanted to wake up a sleeping student in Baptist History; then he was suddenly able to yell the next word of his sentence quite loudly!

While traveling with the Chorale to Iowa for a concert back around 1980, there were too many of us to fit on the bus. Dr. Cedarholm loved to drive and so a few of us were selected to travel with him as well. Have you ever heard of Dr. Cedarholm having a led foot??? He sure did. While coming up over a hill, I saw the trooper parked on the side of the road. Oh yeah, lights on and we were pulled over. Dr. Cedarholm was very respectful and we were very very quiet. As the bus passed, their were dozens of heads pressed against the right side of the bus looking at us. He also had a knack for using a map across his lap while driving blocking his view of the road. You can imagine how much we were praying at those times. I'm sure he kept his guardian angel very busy. What memories!

First Soccer Team Photo

Athletics were part of the fabric of early history, and this first soccer team in the fall of 1968 was no exception. While some things may change (thankfully!), at least the Crusader gold and navy hasn't! What are your favorite soccer memories?
