A Junior orchestra has recently
been organized. They have for their
motto, “B sharp and C sharp.” They
are giving the college orchestra
g'ia College. The new building will
be of brick, with galvanized roof,
and hardwood floors, and will be well
equipped with baths, lavatories, etc.,
and each room will accommodate
two boys.
W. E. Dunwoody, Jr,, of Macon,
is the architect, and the completed
building will represent an invest
ment of between $20,000 and $25,-
000.
With the addition of this new dor
mitory it will take care of the im
mediate needs of the school and save
rentals now being paid on buildings
in town.
The economy of those in charge
of the school for the past three years
has made it possible to erect this
building without any appropriation
from the state for same. The board
of trustees deemed it wise to build
at this time on account of the low
cost of material and to help out the
| unemployment situation.
Work of digging out the founda
tion has already started and lumber
is being placed on the ground. The
new building will be at the south
west corner of the present boys’
dormitory, and will be connected
with the present building by a 10 or
15 foot passage way, thus allowing
passing from one building to anoth
er without exposure to the weather.
The Middle Georgia Colleg is one
of the fastest growing schools in the
state, having 128 students in the
college freshman class alone. In
1030 the college graduated its first
class which consisted of 13; last
summer there were 28 in the Senior
class, and this year there are more
than 40. These figures are for the
college, and do not include the high
school department.
The Middle Georgia College is one
of the biggest (if not the biggest)
assets of Cochran, and in which the
entire town takes great pride.
Prospects for Foot-
Ball Championship
For tha past two years M. G. C.
has held her banners high, and has
won the championship for both
years. This year they are headed
for another glorious victory. I n the
estimation of the student body, fac
ulty, Coach Morris, and lost but not
least the’ fans from all over Middle
Georgia, our team is one of the
best teams that M. G. C. has ever
had.
For hours, for weeks, and even
months our boys have been faith
ful, and they receive as their reward
the following glorious victories:
Defeated one of Georgia’s strong
est military schools, G. M. C. 20 to
6;
Madison won from our boys, by a
26 to 13 victory, but when our boys
came off the field they could say,
“We’ve played the game fair.”
Statesboro was defeated 7 to 0.
Norman Park was defeated G to 0.
Gordon was defeated 24 to 0.
Marion Institute, one of Ala
bama’s strongest military colleges,
was defeated 38 to 0.
B. P. I. was defeated 27 to 6.
Why can’t we defeat South Geor
gia College, Thanksgiving, on Middle
Georgia’s College field.
Each and everyone of us can help
our boys win over South Georgia
College by being at their last game,
and showing them that we have some
of old Georgia’s pep.
Popular Pieces:
Thru With Love.
Moonlight Saving Time.
Just One More Chance.

M. G. C. Pupils
Correspond With
French Students
To bring France more vividly to
the French students at M. G. C., an
exchange of correspondence has
been arranged between American
and French students, through the
good offices of a bureau located at
Peabody College, Nashville, Tennes
see, which is acting as intermediary
for bringing French and American
students together for purposes of
correspondence and exchange. This
is made possible only through spe
cial permission of the French gov
ernment.
The letter which we shall write
will be to those students in France
who about the same age and those
who have the same interests as we
do. Also those who are studying
English over there. ,
This will be an educative as well
as interesting venture to all of us
and everyone is looking forward to
the first letter ho will get with a'
French stamp on it.
