Side 2
00:07: Mrs. Vandiver Ramsey is discussing a local grocery store mid sentence. The store carried can goods, flour, etc. She describes the general layout of the establishment. Her family never charged for purchases, they always paid cash.
5:15: The location of the post office is discussed. She states that it was situated near the Carey house. It was a simple, one room building. Bessie Chapman was a postmistress of the operation for a time.
9:10: Mrs. Vandiver Ramsey did a lot of shopping in Anderson and Seneca, as well as Greenville. The two discuss shopping opportunities in and around Calhoun.
11:40: She can remember going to the YMCA to see movies. She can remember seeing Birth of a Nation. There were many church parties and sponsored events. The Epworth League (Methodist), BYPU (Baptist), and Christian Endeavour (Presbyterian) were all local church groups. The 1922 Junior/Senior party was held at the Vandiver house. Young people also took piano lessons and occasionally played cards.
22:55: Family life was strict; she got no relief from college in that Winthrop also led a much regimented lifestyle.
24:14: Megginson is interested in what stores and establishments were in Clemson in the old days. She can recall Captain Clinkscales, Sloan's Store, and Taylor's Shoe Shop.
26:22: The two briefly discuss local church life. The Wesleyan Methodists were quite emotional, as opposed to the Episcopal Methodists, who were much more reserved.
