1933 SMU Rotunda
Pictures like this keep my blog title accurate. I don’t get this at all. Southern Methodist University students dressed to the nines behind a wide-winged pelican (statue, I presume). Campus isn’t near the beach; it’s in Dallas, and the mascot is a mustang. What does it all mean?
Deeper into the yearbook, bobbed flapper hair was all the rage.
Ain’t she a catch?
The inner yearbook cover offered this interesting map, with lines radiating from the university campus. Note the lyrics to “She’ll be coming ’round the mountain when she comes,” the first printed version of which had only just appeared in Carl Sandburg‘s The American Songbag five years prior.
Another I Don’t Get It moment.

So many songs, so little time. Love the eyebrows of the beauty in the third photo. Did they wax back then?

They ARE on point, aren’t they? Golly, don’t ask me, Fannie. I’ve never had anything waxed, unless you count a candle dripping on my hand.

LOL. Never in my life have I had perfectly coiffed eyebrows. I can’t image she was born that way.
As to candle wax, I’ve dripped it more than once on my own hands, usually around Halloween. 🙂

Well obviously the lady in the third picture fluent in coquette. I can’t imagine any Jack Armstrong “All American Male” resisting that pose. That Pelican shot will just remain a mystery. That is a great map even though its purpose is inexplicable.
