YESTERDAY
(By BARTHUR RISBANE)
Mr- Watson said that he recently
sjnv a man slap a woman. Where, oh,
where have you been, Gordon?
*# # #
From the odors issuing forth from
the chemistry lab, we presume that
thev have stepped into the field of bi
ology and are dissecting skunks. .
** * *
Mrs- Roberts says that she is going
to do the “cracking’ ’ before chapel
if her husband doesn’t leave off the
wise-cracks.
*# # *
At the Hitch-hikers council, Jack
Parker was accused of being late- He
pleaded guilt}*- on the grounds of tem
porary insanity on the advice of his
lawyer, J. Radford Hamrick. So, you
see, girls, J- R. H- gives other kinds
cf counsel besides love-lorn advice.
** * #
What’s wrong with these sentences?
1- The four freshman girls walked
quietly to their places in the theatre,
where they remained during the entire
show*
2. Howell dismissed his class as
soon ns the bell rung.
3. Weaver said, “You may sit on
the table thi s time, but please don’t
do it again.”
4- Otis said, “Ise too busy to fix
yc ’all’s fire- ’ ’
5- “Pat” said, “I never broke any
thing in my life.”
fi. The radiators were all acquies
cent to their owners’ wishes and did
not freeze.
7* West became angry when some
rne called her “Mae-”
8. Broom was seen reading a copy
of “Judge-”
*# # #
Tt is our hope that in the near fu
ture all the unsatisfactory annual
proofs may be placed on exhibition on
the bulletin board for the enjoyment
of student body.
** * *
Tom Hardin in Health class—“ Heart
failure is failure of the heart.”
** * *
We wonder if the Major still tries
to keep his smoke until after supper;
at least, in his pocket?
** * *
Dean Gunn in chapel —“lt has been
a long time since I spent the night
in a girls’ dormitory and I certainly
enjoyed my visit-”
** * *
One can hardly keep from wondering
"hat alibi Mr- Strozier gave his mother
for the scar of battle he brought in
from the -week-end
** * *
This snowy weather surely caused
SOME fun. It seems that Platt, Col
lett, and Johnson were arranging to
ride on a sled to town but Platt was
somewhat dubious- Collett, trying to
allay his fears, said, “Take a chance.
Columbus took a chance-” “Yeh.
Well, here goes one of his sailors—”,
said Platt, as he gently sailed off.
** * #
Mamie says that she read in the pa
per that one woman had cremated
three husbands and here she can’t
even got one, while other people have
them to burn.
* * * *
I get all the knowledge of the
campus in my meanderings, I wish to
fell you that Little Dan Cupid has
been here all the year, insltead of
uniting for the Valentine season. Just
?ou glance around at a party and what
do you see —? My eyes fail me, but
hpforp they did, I saw G r ady and
Elaine talking to Dickey and Made,
children, what do you make of
that?
** * •
There is not a dearth of material for
Tfl c, but if I continue, there will, alas,
be a dearth of me- If your humble
servant survives the punishment which
•"ill succeed this revelation of W* G*
Y secrets, he promises to give you an
inside story of the West-Upshaw case
time (that is, if he can secure
enough data.)

WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE, CARROLLTON, GA., FEBRUARY 20, 1034
BASEBALL MAY BE
INTRODUCED AT W. G. C.
Talk of a baseball team at West
Georgia has already begun and, from
all indications, i s much favored by
everyone.
Coach Bonner feels that if the stu
dents will talk the idea of having a.
team up that the faculty will take
some definite action toward organizing
plans for having the sport for this sea
son. He says that there is an abund
ance of material for a nine and that
it would certainly be another help to
put West Georgia College on the map.
If enough interest is manifested, plans
will be made in the near future-
TENNIS TEAM TO TRAVEL

semi-finalists in the tennis tournament
held first quarter, is laying plans for

MRS. W. F. GUNN SPEAKS
TO ALPHA PSI CLUB
On February 7th the Alpha Psi Club
bad as its guest speaker Mrs- W. F*
Gunn- She had as her most interesting
subject “Music in the Home.” She
traced music from its origin to its
rlace in the Avorld today. The relation
cl music to the individual was stressed
ns site snoke of the many families in
the past Avho had famous musicians as
members and the many benefits that
they derived from the constant asso
ciation with music- The first interest
of the club is to educate girls to be
better home-makers after graduation,
and after Mrs- Gunn’s talk each girl
felt more the responsibility that she
has toward making a home musical.
The students in Home Economics are
iioav making posters on Table Etiquette,
Etiquette in Entertaining, Manners in
the Business World and many other in
teresting subjects- These posters are
to demonstrate by pictures what the
students have been studying and to
help them to see the importance of
manners in everyday life.
SOPHOMORES CHOOSE
PINS AND RINGS
All sophomores are very enthusiastic
over the fact that plans have been
made to secure emblems in the form of
pins, rings, or wristlets. The students
may have their choice in selecting
what weight and type of gold that they
want in these* Orders will be made
at a very early date.
The ring will have the kind of stone
that the individual desires, and around
the stone AVest Georgia, Carrollton,
Georgia, will be engraved* A seal of
i he State of Georgia will be placed on
one side of the shank and on the other
the date- This type of ring is very
significant because it links us with the
University and at the same time gives
us the individuality of West Georgia
College- This plan for th e ring will
be standardized soon. The same plan
emblem will be used on the wristlets
and pins.
It is hoped that all sophomores will
show great interest and co : operatioa
in carrying out these plans for obtain
ing these insignia for West Georgia
College.
