As freshman in the women's dorm our curfew was 10pm on weeknights. There was a case of toilet paper in the broom closet on each floor. For entertainment after 10pm we throw out the entire case to roll the whole hill in toilet paper. Dean Corbin was mad. H was going to make all of the dorm students share the cost of the clean up and toilet paper.
Helen Brandias the housemother talked him out of it. We did not do it again. Brandias the house mother also let the dorm have a stray puppy named Lapper. Dean Corbin didn't know about Lapper till he started following some of the students to class.
Brandias calmed Dean Corbin down about a dog in the dorm and asked him to issue Lapper a student ID card which he did and we keep Lapper now an official student.
Hurricane Dora hit Jacksonville. It was my freshman year. We were stranded in the dorms for days and days and had army surplus food send to us. The eye hit in the middle of the night. Boy, was that scary!! There was no air conditioning, water, etc. Our parents were so afraid because they had no way of calling us and had no idea if we were ok. We played lots of Bridge under flashlights. There was an excitement about it though. Afterall, no classes for a week.
We had to give it up for the Milne Football Field. A sacrifice for growth. Go Dolphins! The rat was the best place to hang out and don't forget about those valley parties!!!!!!! I scored my first touchdown as a Dolphin. We were playing North Greenville for our first night home game ever.
It was in front of four thousand fans, which at the time was the largest crowd in school history. Then, the following night we threw one of the most Epic parties at my house off of Las Robida. The first time that had ever been done. I think at one point the cops were directing traffic for us. It sort of marked a positive shift between the Greeks and Athletes, which seems to be holding up great these days.
I had a ton of great experiences on this tiny campus that I will never forget. When the final buzzer of the fourth quarter went off, the crowd rushed the football field. The celebration in the air, tears in the eyes of the players and the snapshots of the camera will forever stay in my heart. What a great day to be a Dolphin. Pioneer Football League Champions From one of the classes of the 80s I remember when You represent us Then there was the time that a number of students got together and went to Big Daddy's Club one weekend.
Thanks Sharon and Thanks JU! I came to JU for the very first time. I had never visited before attending and was very pleased with the environment, although my first encounter was at night!
All I remember is seeing a few individuals moving into my future new home, Botts! The Blackout of was the worst where all of Jacksonville lost power during finals.. I will always hold a place in my heart for UMA, the Office of Student Success programs, all of my professors, and many more who helped me get to graduation!
Miss the times and much love to classes ! Scott went on the graduate first in his class in flight school and served as a Naval Aviator including two combat deployments to the Middle East and Southwest Asia.
My mother, Irene A. Crosby an I were in the same commencement exercise in the fall of for our AA degree from the junior college. I have a newspaper article that I can share. We as veterans were warmly received as we began our college life. It was a struggle at first to begin to study.
Some for the first time. However, it all came together. We were proud when we moved into a four year college. Our first four year class, a little over students, set the pace for the future of JU. We are very proud to be the first four class of JU. I graduated in '66 and again in ' My diplomas still hang on the wall in my den. They were printed on acid based paper and are now a motley brown rather like the remains of the JU golf course the last time I saw it.
Not long before my arrival, the then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Colin Powell had visited the campus and spoken to the midshipmen. He was visiting Jacksonville for other reasons. We usually had exhibition games at the prison every fall, and we actually played against one team that had a former Major Leaguer, who was a pretty good Short Stop with Detroit. There he was in Jail. No matter, we still beat their team.
