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.” Cbe (Rest Georgian VOLUME I FROSH WIN INDOOR ATHLETIC MEET BUILDING PROGRAM APPROVED Bl P IN II SIOB,OOO FOR COLLEGE It was announced last Saturday that West Georgia College would receive most likely $92,000 in new work and $15,000 in repairs from the Public Works Association.

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 (Continued on page 2) Home Economics Club Organizes The girls taking courses in Home Economics met on November 13 to organize a club representing their interests on the campus.

Merry Christmas 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. NUMBER 3
