Thanksgiving
dinner Coward Hall style
When
a gas line was inadvertently severed by the construction crew
of the new Padgett-Thomas Barracks, rendering Coward Hall ovens
useless and threatening to cancel Thanksgiving dinner, turkeys
were sent out to different ovens around Charleston. Fortunately
the catastrophe was avoided and Thanksgiving dinner took place
as scheduled on November 19th.
Thanksgiving
at The Citadel is a very festive affair--the usual discipline
of the fourth class system is suspended for the celebration, and
a good time is had by the entire Corps, including the freshmen.
Some
weeks before the big event, freshmen begin designing unique military-style
headdresses that fit over the seniors' shakos.
