Our first day at Pfeiffer! Rain! But behind the clouds the sun is always shining. Tired, wet, muddy strangers loaded down with suitcases, tramped up the walks to the dormitories. Rooms were assigned and then— the first glimpse of our new homes” and roommates. Strangers soon became friends; we were just one, big happy family” at the Mixer Party, remember ? Then came the blow that we had to take examinations even before classes started. We were scared stiff because we didn't realize until then how much we had forgotten (or never learned). But somehow with Miss Madciff’s efficient time piece, we struggled through. Registration—for the most part was for what we had to have and a minority of what we wanted. Life can be hard! So a few of us knew each other, but then came the President s Reception and we were totally convinced that we would never remem- ber all those new faces and unusual names. Yet the faces and names became familiar and we finally fitted them together and made a personality. That’s the night our knees knocked” when we were officially introduced to the leaders of our do’s and don’ts” and made a tour of our campus living quarters. Finally classes started and we were off with flying colors! The Harvest Dance was our first formal occa- sion and didn't we think that we were the Mr. or Mrs. Gotrock'? Of course, the timid girl was left sitting on the bench while the others tapped one of the few boys on the shoulder! (There was a man shortage, you know! Fun, wasn't it?) Sadie Hawkins Day was quite a treat, es- pecially the costumes. Say, Daisy Mae, which Lil Abner did you give the merry chase and track down ? Thanksgiving was here before we had a good breathing spell and we dashed home for our first holiday. Were you one of those un- fortunate persons who caught that cold bug” and joined the other flu members’? Then Christmas came with dorm parties, the special choral program, and the formal dance. Remember how we crammed at the very last minute for thoose mid-term exams? Passed! Failed! The Washington Ball was here before we realized it with Sam Lefler and Sarah Whitley as George and Martha. What about the Silou- hettes by Ed Fink and Selma Kincaid; the Waltz (Coach's hand by accident), by Maurice Blevins and Marjorie Robertson? Spring was here! It brought the recitals, chorus concert and the All-School Banquet. Can't you just hear Mr. Bagby “rooting” for Carolina during those school yells? Speaking of the teacher, remember the student with the southern drawl”? May Day brought rain! However, Doris Shaw as the lovely Queen and her court made a very pretty picture with the gym as the background. Winding the maypole was quite an occasion! Wasn't it fun to know where your streamer should have been and wasn’t? Exams—our first year of higher larnin” had come to a close. Our big-sisters and big- brothers received their well-earned diplomas. Did you also have a lump” in your throat when you bade them goodbye? Farewells, hurried departures, promises to write, and we went our way! Believe it or not but we returned in Sep- tember on a beautiful day (without rain) ! Girls, could you believe your eyes to see so many males on campus? It was good to see some familiar faces and quite overwhelming to see all those new ones! At the Mixer Party we had a swell time during the Grand March! Then again the President's Reception; old friends, new acquaintances! Classes began. So in due time we elected our Sophomore class officers: Bob Davis, President; R. L. Bates, Vice-President; Ida Lee Beck, Treasurer; and Betty Sinclair, Secretary. Will you ever forget Hallowe’en night? The entire Campus' trip to Cruses— the boy with the voice” finding his pants hanging on the flagpole, the decorations streaming around. The Deadline Dance offered a lot of fun for the farmers and farmerettes in their ob- noxious costumes; those over-sized families; dancing; contests; Oscar’s imitations of the barnyard follies! Sadie Hawkins' Day, the Harvest Dance, the Christmas Dance were all highlights of the fall semester. And didn't you think that the Pennsylvania Chorus would never stop talking about their trip to Buck Hill Falls? History repeats itself and we were again facing those mid-term exams! After that ordeal we turned toward the spring months and their festivities with an- ticipation. The Washington Ball (Lamar Gar- land, Richard Fowler); the Spring Dance; Concerts; May Day, with Marta Fehrman ad- ding her attractive personality as Queen. At last (the long awaited day)—the re- ceiving of our diplomas—graduation! We, as friends, companions, co-workers have now finished our school days at Pfeiffer and in a few years we will be scattered to the four corners of the earth. It’s a little sad now but when later in life we remember Pfeiffer it will be with a smile on our lips and a glow in our hearts of the happy memories we shared at our Alma Mater. + 28 +
