Ollaafi Iftstnru I STEPPED into the public library of a large city the other day and glanced cas- ually over the new books. Suddenly a small book bound in blue and black caught my eye and I picked it up. Across the front in gold letters were the words Class of 1920. Immediately I opened it and began to read. On September 19, 1916, the train pulled into Rome bringing the class of ' 20. Though its members were destined to be green, they were not as bad as some. They soon caught on and took their places in college activities. At the first class meeting Miss IMignonne McLellan of Durant, Mississippi, was elected president. There were ninety-eight members in the class, the largest Freshman class of Shorter up to that time. After the election of officers and the organization of the class, they began to be heard from sure enough. After midnight one cold night just before Christmas every Freshman slipped noiselessly from her room, down the laundry steps and through the basement to the power house for the celebrated Freshman feast. Sophs and Seniors suspected something, and Miss Lydia Dixon ' s bathrobe left in the rush on the laundry door led them to believe that the thing they suspected was taking place in there. Search they did! High and low through every inch of that dark base- ment, but nothing did they find. Meanwhile old ' 20 was peacefully feasting in the power house. Another event that brought joy to every Freshman that year was the winning of the ' olley ball cup. They fought hard for it. but they won and forgot the fight in the joy of victory. Then came the wonderful day of all days for Freshmen — Vashington ' s Birthday. Freshmen toiled early and late practicing and decorating for that event. Besides the program in the dining-room, The Life of George Washington was presented in the chapel after dinner. Thus the Freshman year closed and the class of 1920 became Sophomores — wise and full of pep. The president. Miss McLellan, did not return, and Miss Elizabc-h Hardman of Commerce, Ga., succeeded her. One night just after school opened while everybody was at dinner. Sophomores went to every Freshman ' s room and took all the shoes that could be found, even to bedroom slippers. These were all carried to a safe hiding place and next morning; the Freshmen were invited to select their shoes from the huge pile in the court. Though the fight was hard, blue and black kept its place on the ' olley ball cup that fall. One night in autumn the Seniors entertained the entire class at a AVeiner roast ir. the woods back of the college. Then came Valentines with its cupids and its hearts. The program consisted of a court scene in the palce of the Queen of Hearts where ever body was gay and happy. Xot long after ' alentine the practice for the stunt began. One night everybody went home from practice with a broad grin on their faces and at four A. E things began to happen. Sophomores slipped down dark stairways and through still darker corridors to Miss Alexander ' s class-room. The pass word was given and they were allowed to pass. Xot a word was spoken till all were in. Then the door was closed and the feast began. The Sophomores had their silent feast and went back to their rooms unchallenged. Next day to celebrate the Seniors issued a copy of the Blazer — their own exclusive paper. Page Twenty-six
