W’e went up to the big room today
and had chapel. That is not a lesson
but where we go to sing and hear peo
ple talk to us. The touchers sit in
front to watch us I reckon and the
music teachor tells us what to sing
and directs us just like Brother Zeke
hut sings different songs. One time
the French teacher stood up there but
I guess he was scared because he
didn’t wave his hands around any.
Then Mr. Ingram who stays in the of

Dear Maw and Folks,
I sho do miss you but I like West
Georgia fairly pretty well. There is
one girl here who is so pretty. She
has large feet; however I think they
are all right. She wears funny things
she calls “scandals” or “sandals” or
something. They are made out of lit
tle strings joined together. (By-the
way, she wears these instead of shoes.)
The scandals look more like a fish net
to me, tho’ and even fish eon'ld slide
thru them. I believe I was a-talking
about Suzie, tho! She and I get along
right well but I have to see the doc
tor but I found out she just means
there was another man she likes. It
seems that this this man is a faculty
member, and he is a blonde. (I tried
putting their bluing on my hair to
lighten it but it turned it a queer
green color.) This man holds my gal’s
hands to show her how to cut up a
whale. She says it thrills her, but I
figure as liow it must be the
tdehyde going to her head. If no other
person comes out to school I think
I can hold my own, even if I can’t hit
a man with glasses on, and this man
wears glasses.
My French professor is such a
funny man. He says the dumbest lit
tie things under his breath. Everyone
else laughs except me. He is a matron
of the girls dormitory and his mother
chaperones him. That’s the only rea
son I feel safe about Suzies staying
in that building. 1 heard someone say
if he didn’t quit eating sweets he was
gonna have French doors instead of a
bay window. Mother, I know what a
bay is, ’cause one of the horses is that
Lind at home and I know what a win
dow is but somehow all I know doesn’t
explain bay window.
Tell Paw not to be mad ’couse I
didn’t take Jim (They spell it “Gym”
here) but I was already rooming with
two boys and there wasu’t room for
another; besides they said if I went on

WEST GEORGIA’S AIMS
AND IDEALS
By MRS. C. L. CAPPS
The first issue of the West Georgian
carried an article by President Ingram,
to tho student body of West Georgia,
stressing the aims and objectives of
the Institution. “The progressive do
' velopment of individuals to take their
places in and to improve society.”
The first year of our institution ss
history, and with the beginning of our
first summer school we would like to
say “We feel, that in this first year
we have measured up in a large degree
to this high aim and objective.
We believe that the majority of West
Georgia students have not been con
cerned mainly with acquiring knowl
dflgo of the different subjects given,
but have attained a higher conception
of principles, ideals and those higher
things of life that really develop an
individual to take his place in and im
prove society.
We believe that the freedom allowed
West Georgia students in their social
contacts, together with the high moral
influences thrown around them, hava
aided greatly in developing individ
uals capable of adjusting themselves
to the varying situations of life.
Many things enter into the making
of a well rounded life, but nothing is
so important as building of ideals and
appreciation in early youth.
The high standard of our faculty
and the organization of each campus
activity has led definitely toward tne
development of this objective.
We feel sure that the student body
of the summer school will agree witn
us in saying that West Georgia has a
groat future. £

and took Jim I’d have to “folk

folk dancing in a room the size of
mine? I do not know how, anyway.
I like to go to the library now. 1
asked one of the girls where the other
girl who was worked in the library and
since then the other girl (Miss Weaver,
I think) has been very nice to me.
She always laughs when I pass by the
desk. They say that’s a good sign.
Maw, I was very sorely embarrased
today. I know my shoes screak some,
but every one thought I was a mouse
today. I can’t see why ’cause I’m
six feet high, but they said so. The
girls all jumped in chairs just as ii
I were going to step on them. Mother,
I think you had better send me some
Listerine. Maybe I can come in a room
then without causing a riot.
Please send me some sleeping powd
ers. The teachers make so much noise
about nine o’clock that its hard for
me to go to sleep.
Your loving son

THE AUTOMOBILE—HOW?
WHERE? WHEN?
(By A Faculty Member)
The automobile, a four wheeled
horseless vehicle of the ox cart genus,
found in the north temperate zone,
especially on the part of the continent
of North America known as the Uni
ted States of America. Numerous
families of this aperies are found in
almost all the so-called civilized coun
trios of tho world. The most prolific
branch of this species is generally con
ceded by authorities to be the Ford or
flivver. The flivver proper is rapidly
becoming extiiyt in the United States
due to tho rise of a larger and more
agile type of this group known as the
V-8. Howover, the flivver seems to
have a muddy road ahead as Soviet
Russia has taken over its special spon
sorship. The Chevrolet and Plymouth
species uro rapidly increasing in num
bers since the installment plan went
into effect. The automobile is ugns
iverous creature. Ju fact, it will run
only a very short distance, and that
down an incline without a water-like
fluid substance called gasoline. Gaso
line is similar to water in many re
spects, but unlike it, it burns and
costs. The automobile has carried the
country people to town, the town peo
ple to the country, aud their ehildreu
they know not where. The automobile
has three speeds, but only one, the
fast, is used to any extent at present.
Like the horse and unde, the automo
bile requires a gear to pull. From all
outward appearances the automobile is
a well domesticated and harmless
thing. Nevertheless, it is contended
by experts that they tend to exter
minate boozo heads, careless pedes
trians, and back seat drivers. Auto
mobiles are generally acquired in a pe
culiar way, the whole in the beginning
and the parts ever after. There is
only one enemy to the spread of these
vehicles and that is money. That ob
stacle is fastly passing away, for it
is common now for ono to profitably
drive off with the other fellow’s au
tomobile without fear of further con
sequences than of running out of gas
oline, or of having a puncture. Un
like most perambulating things it per
forms best when well tired.
In the evolutionary process of growth
in the species of the various autoino
bile families the trend has been toward
Stream Lines and Body by Fisher
which points to a future appeal of the
automobile for homo sapiens in the
alluring words ‘ ‘ Come up to see me
sometimes,” but “don’t slam the
door. ’ ’
SUMMER VESPER SERVICES
Our school year of ’33-34 was made
complete by spiritual activities among
’which were our vesper services.
, Sunday night vespers at 5:30 p. m.
were conducted by the religious coun
cil of the college. This council, under
the advisorship of Mr. Hart, was made
up of the presidents of the different
religious organizations. They were:
Fielding Towns —Y. M. C. A.
Pearl Gober —Epworth League.
Louis Geer —B. Y. P. CT.
Many varied and unique programs
were held. Outside speakers added
much interest. Mrs. Cantrell, of Car
rollton, sponsored the vesper program
on Mother’s Day. It was a most
touching program making us realize
more than ever before how much we
owe onr mothers.
Vespers were held every Tuesday
and Thursday nights in the girls’ dor
mitory. These vespers were under the
leadership of different individual girls
in tho dormitory.
The custom of having vespers at W.
G. C. is to be continued through the
summer session. Not only are vespers
held on Sunday nights in the audito
rium, but they are held every Tuesday
and Thhtsdav night by the girls in the
girls’ dormitory. Mr. Perry conduct
ed the first of the series of Sunday
services.

FRESHMEN ENTERTAIN* •
SOPHOMORES
The dance given In the gymnasium
in honor of tho sophomores by the
freshmen on Tu'nsday evening, June 5,
proved to be the most successful social
event of the yoar at West Georgia
College.
The entrance was through a thrown
back tent flag beforo which stood a
silent, brave, young Indian chief who
received the guest’s tickets. Inside,
tho gym was so artistically decorated
with hoiioysucklo and pines that it
appeared to be an enchanted spot deep
in the wilds of some romantic forest.
Above, tin' lights were shaded with
pale blue paper, and moon-like rays
shed down upon the gavly dressed girls
in evening gowns, and the sturdy
\young men in neat-fitting suits. In
two corners of the gym stood wig wams
from which fair-skinned, dark-haired
Indian maidens served refreshments.
Mr. and Mrs. Ingram and Mr. and
Mrs. Gunn received the faculty mem
bers, Hie students, and the invited
guests who numbered over one hun
dred. They had a friendly smile or a
kind word of welcome for everyone as
lie or sho came in.
The music was furnished by tho cel
ebrated Georgia Tech Ramblers, and
as they “struck up the band” Harvey
Glazier, president of tho freshman
class, led the sophomores through the
“Old Virgiim Reel.” This gave way
to a number of dances set aside for
the various honorary societies and or
ganized clubs hero on the campus.
Letters were awarded at intermis
sion to the members and managers of
the baseball and tennis teams. Each
baseball player was introduced and
received his letter along with a great
big hand from the crowd. Then Coach
Bonner gave a short talk in which he
praised the spirit of the team, and the
splendid record which they had es
tablished the first year. After this
Mr. Strozier gave an account of the
tennis teams’ matches and awarded
letters to both girls and boys teams.
Mr. Strozier, at Coaeh Bonner’s re
quest, had recently taken over the
tennis team, and successfully coached
them into winning two overwhelming
victories.
The dancing lasted from 8:80 to
12:00, the privilege of “breaking” be
ing shared between the ladies and men.
Between dances “powwows” were
held around the punch bowls. Classes
and final examinations were over and
this was the “last round-up” of the
student body and faculty —the end of
a very happy and successful year un
„der our very able president, Mr. In
gram. Ga.vety and laughter prevailed
throughtout the evening—everybody
seemed light-hearted and care-free. Mr.
Ingram looked on as if amused and as
if he thought, “They deserve to have
this enjoyable evening—they have
done a splendid year’s work and I am
proud of them.”
As the midnight hour approached
the party changed to the style of a
regular “holiday festival.” Bright
colored ribbons of paper commenced
flying in every direction from all parts
of the dance floor. Shouts of joy and
laughter rang out as the couples be
came entangled in this mingled mass
of ribbons. It was like a night on
New Year’s Eve —the ringing out of
the old year. In a sense it was the
ringing out of an old year, the first
year, and a very successful one at
West Georgia College.
The evening’s entertainment came
to a close as the dancers swayed in
rhythm to the mellow strains of
“Home, Sweet Home” by the Ramb
lers.
