We see lots of pictures of the old Galloway College building in Searcy AR. It was one impressive building as you can see below. Galloway was reported to be the finest cultural opportunity college for girls in the country. The depression in the 30's contributed to its being forced to close in 1933. It was open from 1889 until 1933.
I was delighted to receive a gift this week of a Galloway College yearbook. It is called the Gallowegian and it was given to me by a person who reads my blogs and enjoys some of the historical photos that we put up from time to time. She stuck it in the mail and I am thrilled to be able to look back and compare the 1930's with the 2015's.
The book has several writings as does most yearbooks but this one is different in that the notes are all written with a fountain pen because it predates the invention of the ball-point pen. I MUST share some of the ads with you in later blogs but for now here is the book!
Thank you, Jennie Lynn!!
