She is on an informal speaking tour of Georgia and neighboring states where she visits the various schools where a Student Volunteer group is organized. On Wednesday evening, Miss Mc- Mullen spoke to a large number of the students and faculty on her expe riences as the daughter of a missionary in China. After her talk, the group gathered around her and she answered the numerous questions that were ask ed. In her talk, she gave many remin iscences of her life in China and of her father who is a Presbyterian mis sionary stationed at Shanghai. His ter ritory is inhabited by a million or more people. She disproved the popular be lief that a missionary's life is all pov erty or solely the treating of horri ble diseases. She explained that their life is fill ed with relief work, organization of fellowship clubs and domestic clubs and even mingling with the higher so EXTENSION CLASSES ORGANIZED Mr. Gunn spent last week working up classes in General Extension work of tin* University system.

There is also a possibility that a class will be organized at the college for those teachers in the county who want to continue preparation while in service. The classes are to be held once or twice a week, according to which the students prefer. The extension class is not organized if the enrollment is loss than twelve. Teachers from West Georgia College will go to the various places either one or two days a week on days most convenient for the group.

SIDE GLANCES The papers of our exchange list show that our sister schools are mak ing great progress. Many things of interest have taken place. Middle Georgia College is to be complimented on tlie work that has been done in the dormitories. M. G* C. has put in new showers and lavatories with the shower rooms of polished black and white tile. These cost approximately $4,500. In addition to this, painters and car penters have been going over the room3. Keep up the good work, M. G. C. The Mount Berry News gives its readers pictures of their school which date back to 1912. In one of these pic tures President Theodore Roosevelt is shown with a group of girls from the girls' school at that time. From these pictures, we can easily see the great improvement that has been made since 1912. It seems that Coach Smith, of Geor gia State Teachers’ College, is doing his best and is whipping together a first-rate football team. They have a tough schedule for this season. We're for you, teachers! Rev. Eldon Dittemore is the new president of Bowdon College. He suc ceeds Dr- Jenkins who died recently. Rev.

The missionaries teach the people Christianity by show ing them the good things in their own religions and then by telling and showing, thev convince them how much more there is in Christianity for them than their formal religions hold for them. Miss MvMullen has lived in China the greater part of her life. She at tended school there until she was graduated from high school. She was graduated from Agnes Scott college in 1933. Since that time she has been engaged in the work in which she is still active. She is described by those who know her as having a wonderful personality, a large share of beauty, and a love for life and humanity that makes her an outstanding person. FRESHMAN CAPS What student has not heard of them? There may be a few freshmen in this wide, wide world who are ignorant of such an important factor, but they are not enrolled in West Georgia College. All those unworthy underdogs (freshmen boys) may be seen each day, wearing their precious bonnets into new experiences. For wherever the freshman goes, there must his cap go also. This helpful rule was kindly donated by the members of the soph omore class, that brotherly organiza tion, always willing to lend a helping hand to a poor freshie (especially in rat court.) Some people think the freshman cap is a nuisance, but it has proven a great asset in several interesting in cidences lately* Recently, when torrents of rain were descending on the campus with force ful fury and petted the heads of all alike, several sophomores sunk so low as to attempt to borrow some of these lowly freshman caps, thinking perhaps that the moisture would do the mem bers of the lower class a great deal of good. Also, in going to and from the va rious points of interest on the high way, the freshman may be seen to hold his cap out and with his thumb working, yell, “Air ya goin' my way?” Now, of course, it may be the thumb that gets the ride, but the cap does help a lot. Probably it plays on the driven’s sympathy to remember when lie was a freshman himself. Ah, the life of a freshman is hard, but that red and blue cap lends humor to his first year in college which un doubtedly saves him many unhappy moments. So, here’s to the freshman cap. Long may she wave, may it have a colorful career, and may it long stick to its owner! CaUthen: I had a moustache like yours once and when I saw how it made me look, I cut it off. Barfield: Sure, and I had a face like yours once and when I realized I couldn’t cht it off I grew this mous tache. Bishop: Perry certainly is dumb. I asked him if he had read “The Three Musketeers” and he replied that he didn’t like books about in sects. Jackson: Where can I get that book! I like books about insects* Ed Rogers: Gaze upon that mighty canyon! Did you ever see a gorge to equal it? Royal: Yes, I watched yon eat sup per last night. Virginia: I’ve heard lots of nice things about Bill Brown. Louise: So he’s been talking to you, too, has he? Frances Sewell: There's a mouse tickling my foot. Cricket: Maybe it's a man. Frances: No, I'm afraid it’s a mouse. First burglar: Did you put Carlton, the nightwatchman, to sleep with a sharp rap of your billy? Second burglar: No, dam the luck, I woke him up. Barrett: If I had a million dollars do you know where I'd be? F. Floyd: Yes, you’d be on your hon eymoon. Aileen: Did you hear about the lady aviator who established anew endur ance record? Tiny Mite: Why-er-no, how long did she talk? Pat: Would you come to mv aid in distress, Cotton? Cotton: My dear, it would'nt make any difference to me what dress you were wearing.
