ouo. They say that oue of the girls who runs the store on the back porch is his wife. If you have any extra chicken money please send mo a little ho as I can get a little peppermint to ♦ at on while I am studying. We don’t have spelling or arithme tic. There is a doctor here that teaches ciphers but he says that I don’t have to take it if I don’t want t 0 yet so I told him that was fine be cause I never was over fond of figures. 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 fice said a few words and read from the Bible and we said the Lord’s Prayer and a man talked to us about getting a life work and I could have told him as how I was going to do you know what but that would a been giving away the secret about me and you know who wouldn't it? I have to stop now and write to him. My roommate who is the girl that slays with me says to ask you and pa how are you. Your loving daughter, Dora* P. S. 1 forgot to tell you everybody who cuts on those fish which are not dead as I said but preserved though cannot see what good a preserved fish would be, well anyway all these people cried when they got their marks and sure was disappointed they said. T will take you down and let you and pa smell that place when you and pa .come if you do. My teachers have not told me what marks I got but I will tell yon' as soon as they do. I am signing my name by moonlight as the lights is gone. As ever I remain, Your loving daughter, Dora Room X West Georgia College Genola, Georgia 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 BRASWELL SELECTED , WEST GEORGIA COACH David M.

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. £ NOT DIFFICULT - “So you named your little boy af ter you?

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.

Fulton TOO COSTLY “Doesn’t it madden you when a girl is slow about getting ready to go out to dinner with you?” “Yes, the longer she takea the hun grier she gets.’ 1 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.

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. • .i * DON’T DISTURB Author —“You are late —my play started an hour ago—go in on tip toe. ’ 9 Friend—“ What?” Is everybody asleep already?* _ _
