f' V90-i '- I in I v r ' v ' 1 't ' umiiu R4 ' n ll W' ll i' lst History of the Class of 1921 lil li AS it really been four whole years since we iirst came to Flora Mac- donald? Yes, it must have been, for that was 1917 and now it is 1921. But it seems such a short time since we were Freshmen, wandering around like lost sheep. l can see some of us now, walking around the con- 'Il servatory looking for the French room, or talking and laughing in the hall when a teacher comes up and says, Girls, go to your room at once. Quiet hour bell has rung, forgetting that we had not learned the meaning of every 1:1 bell. There were'nt very many of us even at the start, for our first year was also the year the United States entered the war, and so many people were afraid to send their daughters to school. And the war kept Sophomores from giving us the annual Soph-Fresh reception. But they all felt sorry for us and took us all to a moving picture show to make up for it. lil li War times were still harder at the beginning of our Sophomore year, and a good number of our class dropped out. To make matters worse, we had hardly started into the year when the Flu epidemic struck the college and fl work was suspended for three weeks. But every one recovered and our class continued with its full strength. Since peace had been declared in November and things were looking brighter we decided to give the Freshmen a recep- tion, which turned out to be a great success. That year we decided to try for :l the basket-ball championship, but luck went against us and we were defeated. .fi lu We began our Junior year numbering eighteen. And my, how proud we lf were to be Juniors! Now we were going to have a chance to go to that long l' envied Junior-Senior reception, and walk to church by ourselves, and not in il line with the whole school. And not only that, but we decided we would break ': our past record and really win in the basketball tournaments. VVe were such a busy crowd of girls that we didn't have time to practice like we should, but we managed to develop a team good enough to scare even the Freshmen, whose team was considered the strongest in school. Well, the time for the tourna- ments came. We did'nt have much trouble in winning from the Seniors. But neither did the Freshmen have trouble in beating the Sophs. Ch, but we wanted to win that Final game! But the Freshmen also wanted it, and were il going to try as hard as we were. The day came, and let me tell you right now they did'nt win it. No sir, the Juniors came out champions, and there was never a happier crowd of girls than we were. 1291 :T A .' nl 5 '93 ,s . s - K . 'TVN 7 - N-v H - if
