Let ' s wal out to Longwood S. T. C ' ers wait eagerly for Longwood to open. Later Clare Parker Westbrook, Emily Carper, and Marjorie Vaughan come out to pose for a picture. Lelia Holloway, Virginia Radogna, Faith Weeks, and the soldiers enjoy the sunshine; Anne Garnett, Byron, Ada Claire Snyder, and Jim, the music. One mile from Farmville stands Longwood, once the home of General Joseph Johnston and now a recreation center for the college. On sunny Sunday afternoons we walked there to take pictures and to buy the famous Longwood buns. Through early morning mists we walked out for sunrise services. In the warm days of autumn and spring we walked out for picnics. Weekend parties at the cabin; Sunday suppers in the cozy dining room; hot dogs roasted at the open fireplaces — all these things we assc ciate with Longwood.

Lights never go off in Cunningham Hall Soup ' s on! Dot Anderson, Alice Duncan, Lucy and Kitty Davis are the cooks. Betty Boutchard, Shirley Turner, Jac Hardy, Betty Reid, Lilly Bee Gray, and Winifred Wright eat while they study. Mary William Calvert, Lois Alphin, Eleanor Folk, Virginia Sedgley, and Winifred Wright proof The Colonnade. Going to the building? 1 ' ' is a question fre ' quently asked among Juniors and Seniors at Farmville. Moving to the Building ' ' ' was one of the outstanding events of our junior year. It wasn ' t until we were all together in Cun ' ningham Hall that classmates came really to know each other. As Seniors we hung our pictures and pennants (No tacks in the walls, though, please!), realizing how much we had to crowd into the last year. There would be meals in the kitchen, dates in the Rec. and long nights of work spent on student teaching.
