We sing popular songs and learn our class of cotteae and mahing. aaiudtmentd and color songs at the freshman parties. We leave to uou. in June with strains of the Alma Mater and the daisy chain song ringing in our ears. We will cherish the memory of our school years always and will recall happy incidents by perhaps rememb' ering Cab's playing boogie, songs by the King Cole Trio, "We are the Green and Whites," solemn tapping ceremonies, favorite hymns, productions, "What's the Matter with Jarman," winning circus stunts, modern dance, and even the musical sound of Mrs. Tabb's "No more breakfasts." As the years go by and the memories of our college days become hazy, these songs and tunes, as we recall them, will help remind us of Farmville, where our happiest days were rolled into four wonderful years. The purpose of a yearbook is to be a real memory book or glorified family album, a complete history of a year of college life. We have chosen "Music that is Farmville" as the theme for the book this year. We wished to pay tribute to Farmville songs. Many times you will pick up this book and thumb through its pages.
