Group picture of student body during the ' l900 ' s. 1916 We never needed to ivorry about clothes for Sunday. We all wore uni- forms. Each fall the girls were lined up and measured for dark blue serge suits. When spring came many bolts of white material were ordered, a heavier type for skirts, a daintier type for blouses. They were made by a Miss None Miller who lived on campus in a house which stood where the south side of Cromer Center now stands. Girls could not walk up town or anywhere off campus unchaperoned. Walking behind them must either be a faculty member or a senior wearing cap and robe. Also caps and robes were worn by the seniors to church during the senior year in college. It was definitely against the rules for the boys and girls to have dates, except each first Monday night which was termed ' call night. ' At that time the boys went to the dormitory and rang the bell. It was answered by an especially appointed person who asked whom they wished to see, then the girl was summoned. s However after call night if the boys and girls were permitted to attend a performance together, as a lecture, a musical or debate, the next call night was cancelled. Everyone attended church on Sunday. Sunday afternoons were lovely. We were not supposed to study on Sunday. It was sinful. We had no classes on Mondays. That day was set aside for studying, cleaning rooms and washing any clothes necessary. There was no visiting between boys and girls on Sunday, except brothers and sisters could visit during certain hours. It was rather amusing to see some students who claimed relationships with others. On Sunday afternoons the students walked back ' and forth for hours on what was then called ' The War Path. ' This path (dirt) be- gan on the corner of the campus next to St. Andrew ' s Church and curved around by the girls ' dormitory and back to the starting point. The students were not supposed to stop or talk, but one would be amazed at how notes, etc. could be passed from one hand to another without stopping or saying a word. 18
