Our Year in Review—And What a « « « This year school was quite unlike its predecessors which went unnoticed with an even, monotonous sameness and regularity. . . . Certain events from this swiftly moving year will long remain in the minds of Furman students. . . . Who will soon forget—an arduous period of registration with puzzled, perplexed freshmen and bland, nonchalant upperclassmen ... the girls in colorful plaids and skirts who moved into Montague Hall, an unprecedented event . . . lithe, handsome glider pilots who glided into McGee Hall ... a condemned football team which nevertheless played winning football ... a renovated Hornet” which won plaudits of both students ond critics . . . Rat Day, the last reminder of the old days when rats were rats, not inflated egotists . . . pain-wracked muscles from Rhys. Ed. . . . girls taking calisthenics . . . treasured house parties ... the classic refrain: What reserve are you in? ... the innumerable Clemson mites and the Zooites, an old sight ... the pathetic lack of school spirit . . . knitting in chapel . . . the girl breaks—when the girls really got revenge . . . adding pounds at the shack . . . card and bridge games, frat meets, holidays, practical jokes, religious events. They all project themselves forward vividly as we reminisce ... at last, inevitable, solemn commencement . . . The end.
