94th Annual

But He knoweth the way that I take :
when He hath tried me,
I shall come forth as gold.
-Job 23 :/0
Welcome to the
Commencement of
the Class of 1990
Today is a day of beginnings.
We have had the privilege of building into the lives of these very special young people
for the past four years. Now we send them forth to minister for Jesus Christ in the many
avenues where He will lead them.
In 1887, five godly men were led to found Cedarville College. They envisioned the
need to train preachers and lay people for the work of God at home and abroad. Today
their purpose lives on at Cedarville. Our theme for this year has been "Celebrating the
Family." We have considered the College family, our community, our personal
families , and the family of God.
The hand of God has been on this institution. Cedarville has achieved a balance that is
distinctive - quality academics in harmony with a strong spiritual emphasis. The
heartbeat of every Christian school is what happens in chapel. As the chapel is the center
of our campus, so God is central in all that transpires here.
It is our prayer that you might have the joy of knowing Jesus Christ as your personal
Savior. Consider what the Bible says: "For God demonstrates his own love for us in
this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." " ... for all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God .... " "For the wages of sin is death , but the gift of God is
eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." "Yet to all who received him, to those who
believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God .... "*
This is a day of beginnings. We have begun a new decade, our graduates are beginning
a new phase of their lives, and you can begin your new life in Christ.
If you do not know our Lord, won't you consider the claims of Christ and make a
commitment to Him today? You, too, can make a difference for Jesus Christ!

Hymn: "When Peace Like a River"
David L. Matson, Ph.D., Director
Havergal/Mountain
When peace like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea-billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
"It is well , it is well with my soul."
Though Satan should buffet, tho' trials should come ,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate ,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
Chorus :
It is well (it is well) with my soul (with my soul),
It is well , it is well with my soul.

The Academic Regalia
The colorful academic regalia dates from the Middle Ages when European universities
took form . Academic costume has been in use in the United States since colonial times
and is traditionally used for graduation convocations. An intercollegiate commission
was formed which established the following standard of uniformity for caps, gowns,
and hoods . The standard cap is the mortarboard. The tassel color indicates the subject
field.
Yell ow - science, mathematics
Drab - commerce
Sage Green - physical education
Light Blue - education
Pink - music
Dark Brown - fine arts
White - arts , letters, languages, history
Apricot - nursing
Scarlet - religion
Dark Crimson - humanities
Gold - Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Education, Doctor of Theology,
Doctor of Arts (some of the doctors have large, metallic tassels)
The length of the hood and the width of the velvet indicate the level of the degree. The
doctor's hood is quite long, has two tails, and has a five-inch wide velvet. The master's
hood is shorter than the doctor' s and has a three-inch wide velvet. The bachelor's hood
is shorter yet and has a two-inch wide velvet. The color of the velvet indicates the field
of study. Blue velvet indicates the doctoral degrees . The dark brown velvet indicates
the Master of Arts degree . White velvet indicates the Bachelor of Arts or the Master of
Arts degree. Scarlet velvet indicates the Bachelor of Divinity degree or the Master of
Divinity degree. Yellow indicates the Bachelor of Science degree. The colors in the
lining of the hood are the university colors.
The gown's traditional color is black. The distinguishing feature of the master 's gown is
the tippet sleeve. The doctor's gown has two distinguishing features: it is cut much
fuller than the bachelor's or the master 's gown and has velvet panels on the sleeves,
around the neck, and down the front. These panels may be black or the color which
symbolizes the subject field in which the degree was earned.
Class Song
Job 23: 10
But He knoweth the way that I take: when
He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold .
Verse 1
As we tum another page in our lives,
We find the good times fade into goodbyes.
But the best Friend that we have will remain
A treasure that we can always claim.
Chorus
Through the years
He 's been with us together.
The love God 's given us is ours to share.
Through the tears
He'll bring us to tomorrow.
And though within this life we sometimes fail,
The tarnishing of sin will not prevail.
Together in the end we ' ll all come forth as gold.
Verse 2
As we walk this road with Him by our side,
We can trust Him as our faithful Guide.
Through life's fire He will make us bold
To continue on and come forth as gold.
Bridge
On this day we tum back the pages.
He's kept us in His loving hands.
Now this day we 'll look to new horizons .
Always in His presence we ' ll stand.
- Stephen M. Averitt
- Duane B. Priddy, Jr.
