SOUTHERN BACK
NORMAL AFTER
THE BIG STORM
Generous Cooperation of People
of Clearwater Soon Enabled
Resumption of Studies

Clearwater Beach, Fla, Nov. l.
After having survived a disastrous
fire early in the year Southern Col
lege has just passed in safety through
the recent severe storm that swept
over a large part of the state. 1t is
reassuring to know that the storm
that proved so severe elsewhere did
very little damage to the plant at
Southern College, notwithstanding
the fact that the college plant is sit
uated on an island off the coast near
Clearwater. Only one student was
slightly injured that injury not hav-
ing been received at the college plant
but at hotel near Clearwater, to
which the young lady students had
Leen removed before the storm, and
the loss by damage to the college
property is Ineligible, being estimated
at outside as not more than $1,000.
Through the generous cooperation
of the citizens OF Clearwater, Presi
dent Alderman had all the young lady
students and all the young men stu
dents and members OF the faculty
who wished to go to the mainland re-
moved from the island before the
storm reached its intensity. The stu
dents were removed to the Gray Moss
Inn in Clearwater until, near the eli
max of the storm, the cupola of the
building was blown over, resulting in
the only accident of the day. Other
hotels and the private homes of
Clearwater were then opened to the
members of the college student body
with the result that all of the men,
bers of the college community were
safely housed. The day after the
storm marked the return of the party
to Clearwater Beach Island, the STU
dents returning as cheerfully and as
Willingly as if no storm had ever hap
pened. The regular work of the col
lege session was resumed Friday
morning, and the college activities
are now under way as if no Interrupt
ton had occurred.
Probably the most remarkable fea-
ture Of the storm was the manner in
which the students met it and recov-
cred from the temporary scare which
it caused. A few of the students OF
the college went home for the week
end after the storm had blown over,
| but the most of them returned to the
college to resume their work here.
! The very best spirit of optimism pre-
walls among the students, and within
d day or two after the storm was over
one could hardly tell from the ap-
pearances of the student body that
there had been a storm at all. The
same spirit that prevailed after the
fire last spring came into evidence
at once, and all the members of the
college community returned to their
work without any delay and with n .
other than the firm assurance that the
college year, interrupted though il
has been by the unfortunate feature
OF the storm, will move forward with
no lessening in enthusiasm and sue
cess.
Though nearly all the members OF
the college community left the islnad
Before the storm, President and Mrs
r. H. Alderman and a party of about
twenty students and faculty members
remained at Clearwater Beach and
experienced a day of lively interest as
