Although Harvard had the better letterer, Yale's tarpaulin flap roller-uppers were a force to be reckoned with.
Volunteering
in 1917 at the age of of 23, my great aunt Clarissa joined the Red Cross and went overseas to drive ambulances like these in France. Returning from the front with a souvenir artillery shell from Verdun and a bolstered level of self confidence and worldliness, she had a hard time fitting back into the quiet lifestyle that genteel Northern Virginia country ladies of her generation were expected to lead.
