Alumni slated to meet Saturday Saturday, April 13, 1985 will be a joyous occasion when the Alum ni of Flora Macdonald College and Vardell Hall gather together for their annual Alumni meeting. Registration will be from 10:00 a.m. until 1 1 :00 a.m. during a cof fee hour. At the conclusion of a business meeting, a delicious cov ered dish luncheon will be served in the dining hall of the college. Of special interest is the fact that the class of 1935 will be holding its 50th reunion this year, a celebra tion in itself. Flora Macdonald College was founded in 1896 by the multi talented Rev. C.G. Vardell, a much beloved minister, educator and gentleman. The school was located in Red Springs, a town in Robeson County. Dr. Vardell had only $4,000 in cash and materials to be used to erect the building and provide operating capital. Leaving the New Bern Presbyterian Church which he served as pastor, Dr. Vardell became the president of Flora Macdonald College. Today, we see Flora Macdonald College, a National Historical site, still standing proudly and firmly, having been renovated and restored following the damage done by the tornado of last year.
