"A Favorite Pastime"


After looking at way too many photos of the time, this pretty much sums up what I think life must have been like for students at the Florida State College for Women.

Cotillion Club members gathered on car for a group portrait


I'm fascinated by this photo. Back then, men weren't allowed at most on-campus social events at the FSCW. The Cotillion Club members were gals who dressed in men's clothing for dances, escorting their bosom friends, if you will.
