Yesterday
(By Barthur Risbane)
Is Barthur’s face red? Everyone
was inquiring who Julius Seize-her
was, and no one seemed care
who Bartliur was! (Isn’t it remark
able that people can appreciate
real wit!) i
The Men’s Glee Club is getting
along fairly well with its latest ef
fort, being an attempt to sing “Si
lent Night, Holy Night” in its Ger
man counterpart of “Stille Nacht,
Heilige Nacht.”
Did you know that Professor Hart
has heavy work on South Street?
Well, yes and no, but mostly yes.
That a certain male student here
is having martial conflicts?
That Rabbi Hitler seems to have
won the affection of the entire
girls’ dormitory—(Hen-Roost.) ?
That Mr. Slrozier and Mr. Wat
son, being Alumni of Emory, al
ways salute when a Coca-Cola
truck passes?
That A. J. Broom, big butter and
egg man, is really a farmer? At
least, one of our guesses is right.
That Professor Roberts was ask
ed as much as six rocks for four
ice cream cones in Russia? Here’s
hoping that they don’t get that
high in this country—grandchil
dren, you know.
That the lights were flashed on
Mother Ward when time for her
diate was up the other night? This
is the sign that all males must
leave, and they gave Mother Ward
a little dose of her medicine.
'T' v ‘t+ i]>c> Eighti Aiuendjiieni.
has at last been repealed. Now,
how about a change in the college
niles? We musn’t be obsolete.
That some people have a hard
time in remembering Kress Entre
kin’s name. They call his “Wool
worth,” “Siivers,’ “Fisher’s,’’ and
even think he’s a real ten cent ar
ticle. Nicht wahr?
That Henry J. Hoggs heart is all
a flutter, being filled with thoughts
of Angeline Grifin. Here’s to you,
Henry, but LaGrange stands migh
ty well.
That the boggy man has broken
up Robert Veal and Cassie Grif
fin? Too bad And thehy even had
their furniture selected.
That Miss St. Clair reminds Bar.
thur of a litte child, pleased with
a stick of candy?
That Barthur has! shot his load.
Auf Wiedersehn, meinegute Fre
unde.
That Fielding Towns was found
guilty in Rat Court of conduct un
becoming co a Holy Roller preach
er? The verdict was based on cir
cumstantial evidence.
Wimpy Upchurch is the campus
lady killer. To date he has broken
the hearts of four of our co-eds,
and two Carrollton Hi gals!. The
co-eds are Myrtice Clark, Eleanor
Morris (My, but Wimpy must be
good looking to rate her), Margie
Trice and Hazel Robinson. His
motto seems to be: “Find ’em,
fool ’em, try ’em, forget ’em.”
Supreme moment. John Mandeville
gives Ossie McLarty a box of
candy at the frolic. Good candy,
Ossie?

SHUT C CLUB IMS
IITIIJJPPMGE
Directed by Professor Robert
Strozier, the Dramati Club offers a
splendid opportunity for boys and
girls interested in this line of
work. This organization as yet is
very young at our college and offi
cers have not even been elected. In
terest lilas been centered on the
play, “The Importance of Being
Earnest,’’ which will be presented
November the twenty-fourth in the
college auditorium. Only the cast
for this play comprise the club
members. No definite plans have
been made as to how other mem
bers will be selected. According to
the large number of previous try
outs there are many students at
W.G.C. interested in dramatics.
The cast chosen for the first play
is a very talented group. It was
indeed an honor to be selected for
membership since only the ten
necessary for the play were chos
en from approximately one hun
dred students "who tried out.
It is the club’s sincere hope that
this presentation will be a success
since it is the first play to be giv
en by the college Dramatic Club.
“The Play’s the thing,” said the
wise Shakespeare in the long ago.
But in the course of time this pow
erful method of. Improving the n<i °-
ple has been utilized for amuse
ment entirely. The stage with its
endless triangles has failed to live
up to its highest possibilities.
Though the schools must be estab
lished a standard of taste which
the stage will meet. To every
humian being has the dramatic in
stinct been given in greater or
less measure, and this instinct is
not satisfied by merely being a by
stander and onlooker.
From dramatics one gains: train
ing in correct standing, sitting and
moving, ability to subordinate ones
self to the picture, strong incentive
for close observations, betterment
of English, pleasure, real value in

Miss Smith Speaks
At H. E. Meeting
Miss Bernice Smith, a former
student of Miss Callaway, graduate
of the Georgia State College of
Agriculture, now of the Georgia
Power Company, spoke to the
Home Economics Class October 24,
on good lighting in the home.
She used a lantern-slide to illus
trate the picture of poorly and
well-lighted homes, explaining the
adantages of good lighting. Your
eyes are the most . precious organ
you have,” Miss Smith said, and
told us how to protect them.
Poor lighting causes head aches,
increases nervousness, indigestion,
defective vision, and increases en
ergy consumption of the body;
therefore, it i s important for stu
dents to have properly lighted
rooms for study. Seventy-five to
eighty per* cent of all knowledge
comes through the eyes, so it is
necessary to protect them.
“Not oniy do good lights in the
homo protect the eye, but they al
so add beauty -and attractiveness
to it,” Miss Smith said. The world
has moved indoors, and most of
our yvork is done about fourteen
inches from our eyes—the indirect
method usually being the light
used.

Holidays Planned
For Thanksgiving
In a call meeting, on Wednesday
afternoon, voted to grant holidays
for Thanksgiving from Wednesday
through Friday, and classes to re
sume Monday. This gives the stu
dent body five days to visit loved
ones and new scenery.
The student body, through this
medium, wishes to thank President
Ingram and the members of the
faculty for their prompt and pleas
ing action.
When this matter was suggested
by President Ingram, in chapel on
Tuesday, there wasn’t a single dis
senting vote among the student
body, and faculty members began
lamenting the prospects of the
usual “Monday after holiday.”
HASTSPEEDBILLGAME
OHS LARGE CROWD
Probably one of the most specta
cular events in the history of West
Georgia College was the first game
of Speedball ever played here, and
also having the distinction of be
ing the first ever played in the
South.
The weather was considered
threatening, as it was very cold
and windy, but the entire student
body and a goodly number of spec
tators turned out to witness the
clash of the Freshmen and Sopho
mores.
Both teams seemed to be in
prime condition, and much antici
pation was manifest when J. C.
Bonner, Instructor of Physical Ed
ucation, blew the whistle starting
the game.
The both teams started with a
bang. The Sophs were the first to
score, although the Frosh were
not long in coming up even with
them. The Freshies had rather an
edge on the Sophs, as' they seemed
to catch on the fine points of the
game a little quicker than the
Sophs. The Sophs had the advant
age of weight against their oppon
ents, but the shiftiness of Glazier,
Mon io, FicluS, tt-liU iil ' over
came the dangerous intentions of
Captain Webb, the little Taylor
twins, and Manor Cansler.
The starting line-up was as fol
