With this, the last edition of the
West Georgian of the 1933-34 school
term, we exonorate ourselves from a
great pleasure. Especially to us as
Sophomores is it hard to face the
facts and bid farewell to our dear
Alina Mater. We sincerely regret that
it is impossible for the state to Extend
this into a Senior college* but* realiz
ing this to be only a Utopian thought,
we stop only long enough to express
our sincere appreciation and gratitude
for the cooperation shown by the stu
dents as well ns the faculty.
It has been a pleasure to the present
editors to serve you, however poor our
efforts have boon. Every worry wo
have encountered, every difficult sit
uation we have engendered, has only
added to our desire to serve you bet
ter. We have striven to carry out the
objective of our college, to work for
the best interest of the students at
West Georgia, to deal with situations
fairly and impartially, and to impress
on the students their responsibility to
the upbuilding of an improved society
on our campus. It lias been our aim
to render credit, where credit, wok due.
We have sought to foster ail activities
and organizations that occurred to us
to be of the host interest to students.
Ws claim not to he impeccable or in
fallible. for our errors have been many-
Perhaps we have displayed marked te
merity. but w r e recognize our short
comings, and we wish to pay tribute to
the generous spirit of fair-minded
ness with which you have received
these faults. You have been generous
in your praise and faithful in your
support.
We prevision great tilings for West
Georgia and its student body. We
see the eminent future leaders of our
state to have been alumni of this rap
idly growing institution. We premed
itate the outstanding position in edu
eaional institutions to be held by West
Georgia College. We have already
There are various and sundry things
that annoy me when I am trying to
study, such as slamming doors, falling
books, slapping feet, popping gum, but
among all these many diversions study
might still be accomplished if it were
not for the pestiferous and numerous
flies in the library.
These varmints are no respector of
persons; their name is legion; their
purpose is steadfast; and their object
is food and annoyance. They fly in
complete abandon about my head.
Their constant buzz is a fly-wheel in
my ears. Their gyrations are a source
of tiresome dodgings to see who is the
most artful in avoiding the other.
Their quick dips toward me are occa
sionally cut short by my angered slap
which is rarely successful in its pur
pose of cutting short one of their num
ber’s lives.
Their constancy is a well of specula
tion for me. If I could but continue
in the face of opposition as they do, my
study would be only a matter of sit
ting down to the task. If, when I
wanted to accomplish anything in my
power, I only had the pesistence, en
ergy, and consistency that the igno
ble fly has, my success would be as
sured*
As I despair of the job of studying
OUR FIRST YEAR ENDS
ON FLIES IN THE LIBRARY
seen an unconquerable spirit rising in
the breast of the Braves- They dis
play before us the true spirit of our
Alma Mater, that we shall he repre
sented on the field of play as well as
in the intellectual realm. May that
indomitable spirit, never falter!
It is with prido that wo claim
splendid Glee Clubs during the first
year of our existence- The Dramatic
(Mub has already begun winning pop
ularity for itself in the western sec
tion of our state. It is only a ques
tion of a few weeks until the Chief
tain will be known in the important
high schools of our section of the
state.
The Dobating Club and the other
various clubs and societies have labor
ed under many handicaps, but they
are rapidly emerging as victorious.
Especially dear to our hearts is the
West Georgian. Of the many strug
gles witnessed by the different activ
ities, the West, Georgian has perhaps
had the severest trial. Yet it has had
a wonderfully successful year. It is
the present editors’ hopes that their
followers will pride themselves of the
honor of working ‘ with this official
organ enough to continue the good
work now started.
Our thanks, in the highest sense, go
to Professor Robert Strozier for his
unselfish and indispensable aid. To
Professors Hart and Watson we ex
press our honor and esteem. To Coach
Bonner and other members of the fac
ulty, we express our sincere apprecia
tion for tliier hearty co-operation. To
the members of the present staff we
have only praise for your faithful and
unselfish service.
The West Georgian hopes that its
first year of service has pleased you.
and we hope that we have upheld the
trust and confidence which you have
placed in us.
“To our followers we throw the torch.
Be it theirs to hold it high!”
in their presence, I watch tho antics
of my fellow students in preventing
their biting and annoying company
from delaying their study. In every
corner there is a gallant hero of the
weak who, with a paper and angry
mein, swats at the flying menaces to
his ward’s happiness. She smiles de
murely at her hero and he, spurred to
now action by this token of her appre
ciation, bravely attempts to discover
some more effective means of destruc
tion of the pests.
At the center table, the most stu
dious of the college valiantly endeav
or to keep up the standard set up by
them in previous weather, and, failing
to bring their exterminators, fall in
line with the common herd in trying to
study and lose their grip at the fif
tieth fly that lights on their brow.
As students who must endure these
pests, I think we should do something
about this never-failing source of fail
ing grades. If we wish to study in the
library, why cannot we employ some
one to bring a fly-swatter and remain
there all day? The sole duty of this
person would be to swat flies and rub
ointment on the whelps their brothers
and sisters had made on the tender
flesh of the serious students at West
Georgia College.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
THE EPISTEMOLOGICAL
ASPECTS OF THE N. R. A.
By MAJOR WALKER
Friends, Americans, Countrymen:
It behooves me with behoovish be
hoovishness to stand here and behoove
this behoovish behooval.
T coine tonight to expound, to expos
tulate. to prognosticate, and to nause
ate on the N. R- A., the A. A. A., the
W. C. P* T. U. ( the L. M. N. O. P.
the B. Y. P. U-, the R. F. D., the B.
V. TANARUS)., the C. R. C., the B O. and all of
the other great letters of the discovery
administration.
Tn the beginning let us not minimize
or devaluate the utility of the B. V
-1). Indeed, it might be well said of
the R. V- D., “We do our part.”
After traveling fn.r and broad in
foreign parts one is stimulated by those
innumerable passions which tend to glo
rify our nation, when they enter New
York harbor and gaze upon that great,
gigantic and symbolic statue of liberty
which holds a lemon in one hand and
the ocean in the other.
Tragie, tragic are the days when the
aggressive animosities of theso dynatic
and dogmatic collaborations shall re
pudiate the methodical fluctuation,
and manifest destiny of this elovial,
licentious and celestial hemisphere.
Congressman Bunk, from Spodunk*
makes fiery speeches against the N.
"R. A. and the V. D. C., the D. A. R
and the C. O. D- He uses fiery oratory
in his spoeches. But. my friends, it
would be better if he would put less
fire into his speeches and more of
speoches into the fire-
Congresman Bunk is learning more
and more about less and less and fin
ally the day will come when he will
know everything about nothing.
The discovery administration, like
ancient Gaul, is dividod into man\
parts. First, we have the greatest ac
complish men t of all time within the
realm of government which we gaze
at with popeyed wonder and drink to
with the highest and most elevated
feelings of hapmneAs, joy and content
ment. This isCthe F. A. C.‘A. That
means the fullest alcoholic consumption
available*
The R. F. D. is an agency which de
livers the MARKET BULLETIN and
THE STATESMAN to the rural families
of Georgia who live in the country.
We are going to read from the CON
GRESSIONAL RECORD of February
31, 1934: Senator Richard B. George,
of Argentina, after informing the Sen
ate that the people of the South wear
shoes to keep from going barefooted,
lit a cigar, presumed his seat and en
joyed a long nap of sleep while Hooey
P. Long ballahooed on the outlying
causes of Ethiopian promulgation.
It was this same patriotic spirit that
promped Paul Revere to utter those
immoral words, “Give me liberty or
give me death.”
It was this same patriotic spirit that
brought from the immortal tongue of
Patrick Henry those death defying
words, “Don’t give up the ship.”
And, my friends, it was this same
patriotic spirit that brought the Rev
olutionary War to a final extermina
tion when Poealiuntus surrendered to
General Ulysees S. Lee at Waterloo on
November 11, 1918.
Unfortunately we find that the dis
covery administration has not yet
learned to use lifebouv —the greatest
scientific discovery of all the ages.
They all have the B. O.
It is with proficiency and dexterity
that I congratulate the fastidious ex
pediency and unrivaled homogenity of
the superfluous tenacity of this mag
nanimous imbecility.
We are the victims of a destructive
measure which is a product of the
■barren fertility of the mentality of the
high distracting powers of the Repub
lican Party. This is the R- F. C. —bet-
ter known as the Relieving Farmers
Commission. Remember well that this
was begun back in the days of
.Hoover, “the tat,” when Herbert re
lieved the farmers of everything they
had with this noble commission. He
also stabilized the farmers. But how
did lie stabilize the farmers? He took
the farmers out of their homes and

I am going to quote from the most
widely known of all American poets —
Daniel Boone:
Under the shedding spresnut tree,
Even as you and I,
With rag and bone and a hank of
hair,
You ’re a better man than I am
Old Black Joe.
Last, but not least, we come to the
greatest, the most delicious and the
most powerful of the Discovery Ad
ministration, the C. B- C. My friends,
the C. B. C. is the only thing we have
working today.
It is with profane thanks that I ex
press my sincere depreciation for the
divided contention that was coneordei
me tonight and I wish to exclude by
saying, “Long live the C- B- C.”
