The Story of Flora Macdonald in 1952 is a seasonal one. s beginning in the fall of '5l. Cars poured in between the gray stone gates. and the halls took on a crazy pattern of trunks and boxes. Then suddenly and disappointingly the chaos dissolved into order. the lines into classes. The long length of Vardell be- came tinged with autumnal red. and on Saturday afternoons girls gathered around a radio to listen to a football game .... Then one day you lingered by the radiator before taking your seat in chapel. and that night you threw another blanket on the hed.. Out at the gym a few girls huddled over in one corner while the sound ot' a lonely ball echoed in the hollow darkness. The walk back from town became longer and colder. for these were the Days of the Red Noses and Frozen Feet .... Then slowly you inched your windows up at night. and a din- ner you migrated to the front campus. And so it was ng. The wisteria produced the traditional wonder. and the campus was suddenly and miraculously green. You marveled at the seasonal beauty of your college, and yet you knew that while her campus and curriculum changed with these seasons, the spirit of Flora Macdonald remained the same-Autumn. Winter, and Spring.
