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. B. Y. P. U. The B. Y. P.

Brown: The spinal column is a long bunch of bones ;the head sits on top and you sit on the bottom. A man’s life is divided into two parts—when she hangs on his neck and when she jumps on his neck. —I. S- Ingram. 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.
