We return for a few weeks to the Glomerata section, where I share the covers of all of the yearbooks from Auburn, my undergraduate alma mater. The one I’m showing you here is the 1921 edition, which has been in my collection for a while. But if you click this book’s cover you can see the new one, the 1922 Glom.
Warren G. Harding was the president. Radios were becoming the rage. This was still very much a rural, country town, so there was no Great Gatsby, though Zelda Fitzgerald, from just down the road in Montgomery, had recently married F. Scott. And, naturally Zelda and Tallulah were childhood friends. So that image of a conservative, staid society had some undercurrents to it. Some of those kids could be wild. The twenties were just starting to roar.
Anyway, you can walk through all the covers if you start here. For a detailed look at selected volumes, you might enjoy this link. Here is the university’s official collection.
