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 COMMENCEMENT SOCIALS CHIEFTAIN.

Miss Ruby Jen kins, formerly dietitian, is acting in her absence as teacher in the depart ment. put them in a lowly stable. 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.” PAPER STAFF BANQUET The staff of The West Georgian en joyed a banquet on Wednesday even ing, May 23, at the Hotel Clifton in Carrollton.
