Merry Christmas
Yesterday
(By Barthur Risbane)
One Freshman girl made quite
an impression on the solemn Dr.
Boyd in the hall last week. In fact,
they both just about lost their
equilibrium.
Everyone has his troubles, but
one young lady got Ed L. in hot
water at the social on Newnan St.
And at the same social, the hos
tess almost lost her momentum by
being too busy.
The Home Economics girls stag
ed a style show with live models.
Prices were attached and the boys
are still lamenting the high cost
of living.
The play caused Mary Catherine
much worry as to the faithfulness
of her hero, we hear.
Some of the students change re
ligion with the weather—or maybe
it’s the heart interest that changes?
We wonder why one of our fam
ous twin’s hat was doing over at
the girl’s dormitory Sunday morn
ing?
The number of phone calls from
the boy’s dormitory to town was
a source of amazement until the
exposing of the way to “get your
money’s worth.”
The students are still wondering
at Prof. Howell’s refusal to sing
at the Y social.
The girl’s house president is past
master of the art of “raising the
roof.’’ Plasters gave her the best
service during the holidays how
ever.
We now understand about this
debate business. Feeding the op
ponents just before the battle
worked at the last meeting.
One young lady should have en
joyed her holidays, visiting in the
home of one who has been paying
her regular Friday and Saturday
night calls.
Two of the waitresses are good
salesmen and have just aboijit sold
two of their jobs. Vt’e a&k
you bags, is it worth it?
Of course you knew the boys
finding their ( way about town
ff ry '
\ Z. ~~
heard that a c-c-certain
young man w-w-wanted t-to be a
s-Miger so he memorizes his
s-s'ongs so he won’t st-stutter.
When is the Science Club going
to make a study of the peculiar
mania for running down to the
store at three minutes ’till six?
Prof. Howell—“ Didn’t you sleep
well Hogue?”
Hogue—“No sir. I have a min
ature bed.”
Prof. —“Yes?’’
Leßoy —“Oh, yessir. One mina
ture you’re in, one minature out.”
Sadie (to guest rider) “That’s an
attractive college we’re coming to,
wasn’t it?”
President Ingram (to “Cotton”
hauling sand) “Why don’t you get
a larger wagon”?
You could do twice as much
work.
Williamson—“‘Cause I ain’t got
twice as much work to do.”
The two Doris’ were in the in
sane asylum for years and years.
One day one Doris said to the oth
er, “Gee, I wish some good-looking
man would put his arms around
me and hold me tight.”
Other nit —“Now, you’s talking
sense. You’ll be out of here in a
few days.”

Natural History
Museum Started
Some of the students in Biolo
gy 19 are becoming so adept at
assembling skeletons of animals
that a museum of natural history
is well under way.
Several cat skeletons are al
ready mounted, the superfluity of
cats on the campus supplying plen
ty of material. Some time in Jan
uary the skeleton of a calf will be
added to the collection.

Dramatic Club Gives
Successful Play
The Dramatic Club in its presen
tation of Oscar Wilde’s “The Im
portance of Being Earnest” on Fri
day, November 24th, has the dis
tinction of being the first organi
zation to give a public’ perform
ance at West Georgia. The success
of the club in this amusing and
difficult play argues a bright fu
ture for dramatics at the college.
“The importance of being Earn
est” is a witty and epigrammatic
comedy in the best Wildean man
ner, and the cast did well in get
ting the most out of the clever sit
uations and sparkling lines. The
whole performance showed a pol
ish and finesse that were es
pecially remarkable in a first pro
duction.
Indeed, in some respects, the
play would serve as a model for
amateur performances, especially
in the handling of stage business,
the easy and natural continuity of
action and the quick shift of scen
ery between acts, the last of which
many professional companies
might emulate.
It would be difficult to say
which of the cast acquitted them
selves with most honor. All show
ed careful study and understand
ing of their parts and a zest for
acting. Each member of the cast
<jl nine was well suited for his
part.
For a very effective portrayal of

FRESHMEN GIRLS ININ
CAPTAIN BALLI3 TOl2
Driver-Cansler Star
An athletic track meet was held
in the gynasium Friday night, Dec
ember Bth which was well attended
by the students and a small num
ber of spectators from up town.
Unusual interest was taken in this
event and each feature of the pro
gram was hotly contested by the
candidates. The coach of gymnas
tics, Mr. Bonner is to be congrat
ulated for his interesting program.
The program was as follows:
1. Dodge ball elimination con
test, Boys. This was a thriller that
brought many laughs and shrieks
from the audience. The two teams
were rather evenly matched. Soph
omores winning the first and the
Freshies coming from behind with
some great help on the side lines
to win the next two games and to
take the contest.
2. Captain ball contest. Girls
This contest seemed to have three
thrills per minute with girls beau
tifully arrayed in their new gym
suits. And did they play rough.
This was a game for the survival
of the fittest. Anyway the Fresh
men trailing in the score column
finally pulled tile game out of the
fire for a spectacular finish and
won by a score of 13 to 12. (It
must have been “Freshmen Night”
—maybe they can really do some
thing aside from rustic barber
works.)
Marion Seagraves, Christine
(Cricket) Rodgers and Robinson
for the Sophomores. Caroline Geer
Ntidine Will banks and Andrews
for the Freshmen played exception
all well.
3. Throwing for Acuracy Contest.
Ist* Place —Cansler, score 17.
2nd Place—Montgomery, score 15%
3rd Place —MargieL. Robinson, 13%
4th Place —Mrs. Loyd Baxter, 7
Twelve throws were allowed in
this contest with a medal going, to
first place.
4. Individual Stunts Without
Equipment, Girls vs. Boys.
Grace Echols, Gussie Snell, Mar
gie Robinson, Opal Morrison, Kath
ryn loud and several girls kept
the boys busy in trying to duplicate
body twisters such as turning
handsprings, Eilepnant WalKing
and many more too complex to de
scribe.
The outstanding duplicator for
the boys was a certain Mr. Thom
as (Pest) and you know he seemed
to be rather adapted to performing
such fetes.( queer thing).
In the boys turn to performing
tricks, they seemed to have a few
in the bag which the girls were
not prepared for and were taken
aback. The referee finally stopped
the agony and the judges hastily
added, subtracted, quizzed each
ocher and announce dthe boys had
won. Boys 128-Girls 119.
5. Combination Activities Con
test.
A couple of circuits around the
gym was taken by: R. Veal, J. Ter
rell Towns, J. burnham, F. Daves,
M. Driver, T. Phillips, J. Parker, G.
Johnson, A. Mabry, W. Spence and
“Haralson” Morgan.
A run-over was staged with Driv
er defeating Phillips for Ist place
and the Medal.. All the boys were
good. Then they did their best.
No greater tribute can be paid to
any man.
