HIKING CLUB
Conch Bonner realized the need for a
girls’ recreation club early in West
Georgia’s first year. He planned sev
eral cross-country bikes and led theso
when Carrollton was still new to the
£ rls. Pep and enthusiasm was imme
diately created and while under the di
rection of Coach Bonner, the Hiking
Club was organized. While resting af
ter the third long hike, the following
officers were elected: Inez Wuddeth,
president; Eleanor Brisendine, vice
president; and Elizabeth Holbrook, sec
retary.
The hikes have been many and va
ried. They have extended from the
two mile picnic to the ten mile bike
when everyone was lost. The inter
esting places have been explored,
among which the swinging bridge, fox
and hound chase, foot log. and the river
are always to be remembered. Of the
mishaps, one must not fail to recall
the numerous scratches, blistered heels,
and one fair maiden’s fall into the
creek- It has been work, pleasure, and
recreation, all combined, in the joyous
hope of hiking seventy-five miles for
a letter as the final reward.

ing te year- M'r. Edwin S. Preston,
State B. Y- P. U. Secretary, paid a
most interesting visit to the organiza
tion- Socials on the campus have also
been the source of much pleasure.
The officers for next year have
been chosen as follows: President,
Helen Webb; vice-president to succeed
herself, Martha Thomas; secretary,
Frances Cruso; treasurer, M’. L. Fisher,
Jr. _

Among the proposed betterments are, an annex to the Women’s Dormitory,
enlargement of the dining hall, and building of faculty duplexes- The college
hopes to accommodate 300 students in the dormitories next year-
In the meantime improvements have been made by the C. W. A. and the
F- E. R. A. Coder this plan a glof course and a swimming pool are contem
plated-

A man’s life is divided into two
parts—when she hangs on his neck

WHY DOES W. G. C.
COME OUT ON TOP?
In the first place, West Georgians
have got that thing—that thing that
makes it impossible for them to get
down and out. It is not just the spirit
of the teams but the backing they get
from the faculty and students. It’s
the kinda spirit that makes a fellow
really love his Alma Mater. If West
Georgia does not succeed in anything
else, it will have at least created a
school which is dear to the hearts of
the students.
Then the other thing is the team.
A team has to be out for the best
things in sports to fight like our boys
have. Out of the many games we
have seen West Georgia’s Braves par
ticipate in, there’s not one in which
one of our boys committed an act of
which we were ashamed.
Then, the last, but not least thing,
is the coach. Starting at the begin
ning of the year with no athletic pro
gram whatever planned and very lit
tle equipment, Coach Bonner perform
ed a swell job of what we would call
“breaking West Georgia in” sportan
ically. First be organized a basketball
team and gave them the acid test with
a hard schedule. Then he began the
south’s newest game, Speetdball, with
the first official game to be played in
the south.
Finally came spring and with it, the
organization of the baseball team
which has carried West Georgia’s col
ors to the heights (lookout Shakes
peare; you’ve a rival). Mr Bonner,
having a tremendous fask, is just like
a high school kid when th team is
going good*
SPORTANIC HIGHLIGHTS ;
OF THE YEAR AT W. G. C.
Although everyone is free to his
opinion of the highlights of the year
in sports at West Georgia, we wish to
express a few of our ideas on the sub
ject. Being at an advantage as sports
editor, I can spue forth with no one
but the editors to stop me.
In our estimation, the basketball
game between W. G. C- and Fort Ben
ning was the best game of the season.
The soldier boys w'on, but neither
team was ever far ahead of the other.
Only six fouls were committed, and
both teams played fast and hard. The
final score was 36-35.
The return game in Columbus was
won by the West Georgians by a score
of 61-25. This game wasn’t exception
ally good- In this game, Billy Driver.
Brave guard, bagged 28 points, the
highest number of points made by a
Brave or any of the opposing men this
season in W\ G. C- games.
Then in the game between West
Georgia and Alabama State, the play
ing of Hughes, giant center, was to us
the most brilliant exhibition of -bas
ketball seen here during the entire sea
son- In this game, Staples bagged 18
points with all except 2 of them from
near center. !
Thon in baseball, Sam Fields’ home
run with two on deck was the first
highlight. (Sam knocked this homer
against the Bowdon League team. ;
Then came the sorieu with North
Georgia College in Dahlonega. The
Bravos won both games and got 17
hits in the second game of the series.
With this series the Braves began a
winning streak of games which in
cluded North Georgia, Douglasville.
Bowdon, Mandeville Mills, Warm
Springs C. C. C.
The most brilliant hurling of the
season was turned in by Parker
against Camp Meriwether in which
game Parker allowed the C. C- C. boys
only three hits; two of these hits were
in the ninth.
In thq game with (Camp Meriwether,
Entrekin knocked a homer with the
bases loaded.
Fields struck out 13 men in the sec
ond game with Bowdon College and
held his opponents to one run while
his teammates amassed eighteen.
The other members of the team have
turned in playing worth a big write
up. Kelly at backstop has been a reg
ular player, one of the best hitters and
holding his job down against the best
of them with credit to himself; ‘ Sta
ples, Daves, Webb and Driver in. the
infield have each, in his season, made
spectacular plays that \a|jrou@ed the
envy of the opposing team. The out
fielders, roaming in the grass have
turned in the balls as fast as they have
been hit to them, and that is wifc&t they
are for.
