Htrozier STUDENT-FACULTY SPIRIT Have you over attended another col lege f Have you ever seen or heard of a college like West Georgia? There may bo some that nr better. There may some in which tho students and faculty have a better time. There MAY be. Here at West Georgia we have tho best spirit between the faculty and students that you coiwld find any where, if we are not badly mistaken. Have you ever soon a college, or any school for that matter, in which tho instructors seemed to be a part of the studont body as they do here? On our faculty there aro people who take as active a part in tho student activities as if they were members of the organi zation. It is the rule rather than the exception that tho students go to the faculty advisors with their problems. Why do they go? They know that in the past they have had friendly rela tionships with those advisors and that There are many reasons why there are two hundred and seventy students at West Georgia College. One of the primary reasons is that there are about that many who are interested in be coming better citizens by becoming better educated beings. There is more to being educated than is commonly realized. A person who bas the very best oduation that it is possible for him to get may be completely lost when his ability to do any profitable thing is tested. We have the tragic example of the thous ands who have graduated from the col leges of our land without any specific place to go for employment. Just as tragic as these who havo no specialized training are those who are not prepared for every-day living with their fellows. The grace of living with the world successfully is not native, or is it acquired with a moment’s thought. In the beginning of time, man hunt ed for his food; finding it, he rushed to some secluded spot to devour it in haste before an enemy discovered him and began to battle for the delicacy. As men began to become more friend ly and to live in groups of the fami lies, food-getting was the responsibil I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me you bring out. I love you for putting your hand in my heaped-up heart and passing all the fravilous and the vfeak things that you cannot help seeing there and draw ing out all the light, all the beautiful, radiant things that no else has looked long enough to see. I love you for ignoring the possibil ities of the fool in me and for laying they wore at all times willing to do their best to help the students. The attitude of tho students toward the faculty show’s their esteem and ap preciation better than any other moans could. The feeling of oneness has made tho situation here more of a joy than it would have been had the teach ers been of the type that are extreme ly formal in class as well as out of it. There is tho danger, however, that tho students over step this honor and privilege that has been given them in being freely associated with the fac ulty. If the informality is taken into the class room, valuable time is taken and the effectiveness of the instruct or’s position is lost. There has been no complaint from this, however. We have the best spirit that could be found anywhere. Let’s keep West Georgia College as it is—the friend liest campus in the state. A PART OF EDUCATION ity of several members of tho family while others did the other work of the household. This necessitated the shar ing of food. From this evolved the need for courtesy at the table. Now, in this highly civilized world, there is still more need for the com mon courtesies which include table etiquette. In a college dining hall there is the tendency to be in a rush which throws all the niceties of the table out of order. Consideration for others should be one of the outstand ing things in a student’s mind at all times. Complaints have been made by the students who live in the dormitories concerning tho behavior of a few of the students in the dining hall. One of the marks of a lady or gentleman is that they are at ease and put others at ease at the table. If the few stu dents who have not, by neglect or lack of opportunity, cultivated table man ners enough to be accepted, it is the place of those students who have bet ter taste to help these few all they can so that they may not enter life after college with a lack of table man ners that will handicap them for life. It is better that these be aided now rather than embarrassed or ortracized in later life. FRIENDSHIP hold of the possibilities of the good in me. I love you because you are helping me to make of the lumber of my life, not a taven, but a temple; and the words of my every day, not a reproach, but a song. I love you because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me happy. Yotf have done it without a word — without a sign. You have done just by being your self. After all, perhaps that is what be ing a friend means. —The Cellonade, G. S. C. W. THE WEST GEORGIAN ALUMNI NEWS - The alumni of West Georgia College , is ruther widely scattered this year. , At the University of Georgia are Mar- . tha Stone, Margie Trice, Tom Lot tin, and Frances Lovvorn. From all the reports that are heard through letters, horesay and what have ya, these seem to be having quite a time on our mother institution’s campus. Glory to ole Georgia! School teaching also seems to be rather popular among last year’s stu dents. Elizabeth Holbrook is pound ing away at Tyus; Edgar Kelly has the rather impressive position of princi pal in the school at Calhoun, and Kuth Kown is teaching what she terms a “co-ed kindergarten” at Emerson, her home town. I feel sure she is taking every opportunity afforded by such an unusual combination, (’hristine Du pree is also teaching near Powder Springs. I wonder if she remembers all the instructions she promised faith fully to follow’ while taking education here? Best of all, however, I like to enumerate those students who found dear old West Georgia so much to their liking that they are back in spite of the fact of their already being told that they were through with th e soph omore year. They had even received their diplomas w’rapped in clever lit tle blue leather jackets and probably added them to the collection on the library table, nevertheless they were not the kind who took “no’’ for an answer. Pat Patrick is back still, for a reason not hard to guess. Emmie Lou Bell is still pegging away here, too. She is even taking music, I hear. Dear old Cricket came back, too. Mo tive understood. Edith Daniell came along to fill up space in the room, I hear, but she is a person one always likes to have around. M'ary Lyle and Louise Geer are both here, too. They are learning Miss Weaver’s manly art of smiling self-defense in the library. Doris West is continuing her ardent pursuit of Squalus acanthius in the bi ology department here as lab assistant. The corner ston e of last year, Stew art Rosy Martin, is now finding time to apply Mr. Hart’s teaching in his endeavors in the field of cytology at Emory. Ossie McLarty is at Asbtfry College in Kentucky. We also miss Wilson Spence who is going to Evening School in Atlanta. One member of this illustrious group has now’ joined the majority—no, not by death, but by becoming a Mrs. Smith, alias Kat King. Gaines Camp is at his home in Villa Rica. Sadie Morrow is also at home in Carollton now, but only for the time being, I understand. Manor Cansler is also keeping the home fires burning. Zemily Adams is at home in Westminster, S. C. The whereabouts of the twins of the senior class of last year are not known, and unknown to me. If any one knows anything of these missing star lights, please communicate with Mr. Ringling of the Ringling Brothers’ circus. I understand that they have been award ed a place as the only living twins who are equally good in sports. Anelyn Griffin, Mildred Jackson, Radford Hamrick, Carlvnn Morris, Roy Rodgers, Max Steed, are all round and about. West Georgia is not sur prised to see them jump in at any time, particularly at the “get-togethers” on the c’ampus. We hope that they will continue to do so. Harris is also on the campus, even going in for group dancing this year. That’s quite a reformation from last year. Pat Gober is carrying on the dieti tion’s job in a school at Boaz, Ala. All the tlumni are still missed as the dignified members of tihs institution; however the freshmen of last year are fast yearning this trick. Glazier —Darling, when I’m with you time seems to stand still. Virginia—Well, no wonder. Your face would stop a clock. CHAPEL TALKS Mr. L. E. Roberts, of the social science department, gave, at the chapel period on November 2, n very inter esting talk on the new Social Science Survey courses. He said that the course would be given five quartern, three this year and two next year. The course covers the social relation ship! of human beings. It approaches from an objective point of view the human racial development, and points out where civilization has been able to p'rogress after each fault. Mr. Roberts also says, “This is a day in which we are groping about in the dark seeing problems which have been created by the scientific geniuses. We are in a machine age, which changes the way people live, work, fight and maintain peace. Because of this we are falling behind in our ways. The understanding of modern social science might be able to figure out some laws for governing actions of the present day.” On November 9, Mr. Ingram, pres ident of West Georgia College, gave a speech in chapel. He spoke of the days of the war and the feelings of the people at that time. H e put in numer ous remarks of humor about those days. He said that the present plan of the government is another war, a domestic war to conquer the problems that occur in peace. Mr. Ingram gave on November 13 another of his interesting, inspira tional talks with “bits” of humor strewn through it. His subject was “Take Care of Today and Tomorrow Will Take Care of Itself.” He began by remarking on the results of the six weeks’ examination. Then in very forceful words he illustrated how to day would take care of tomorrow. Mr. Clark Harrison, of Drauglion’s Business College, was the speaker on November 16, and gave an excellent talk to the students. Before announc ing his subject Mr. Harrison sand, “I want to warn you if you set your mind on minor things you will lose sight of the larger things.” He gave illustrations and told the students to look at the wall and im agine they could see a tree. Of course many of the students did not continue to look at the wall. He said that this was an illustration that people did not look for things. The theme of Mr. Harrison’s talk was ‘‘ My Observation of Individual Re sponsibility to One’s Education.’ ’ He said that there are four periods in the first twenty years in one’s life. The first period: six year's of elementary training; third period: four years of high school, this period being consid- and is used by many pupils as a' rest period on a journey; fourth period: college, trying to make what is lacking. He urged that the students develop their personality. SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB The Social Science Club gave bids to ten students at the first of this quar ter. On October 25th new members that were received in the club were Fred Williams, Roland Harris, Lewis Bell, Luta Herndon, Dovee Williamson, Reese Ragsdale, Florence Parr, and Fielding Towns. After the initiation of each of the new members, refresh ments were served and everybody en joyed the meeting. The next meeting of the club was on the evening of November Bth. The following program was rendered: “The Future of the NRA,*’ by Ro land Harris. “Southern Labor Awakes,” by Ver dyne McClung. “Business and Government,” by Doris West. Everybody seemed to enjoy the pro gram very much. Air. Roberts, espe cially, enjoyed it, because “Current Events” is one of his most favorite subjects. To hear the boys tell it, the girls* promise to be on time carries a lot of wait. DEBATING CLUB The debating club held its soph omore impromptu debate on October 30 with four members of the club par ticipating. The subject was: Resolved: The next state legislature should cre ate the office of lieutenant-governor. The affirmative was upheld by Field ing Towns and Ovid Davis; the neg ative by Leeman Simonton and Lyman Aloore. Lyman Moore and Fielding Towns were selected as the sophomore impromptu debaters. The club voted the negative side the decision. The Club held its second freshman debate on Tuesday evening, Novem ber 7, with five freshman participat ing. The subject was: Resolved: The next session of the national legislature should pass an old age pension law. The winners were Miss Lucile Port wood and Alayo Royal. Preston Wright and Forrest Ingram gained sufficient points in addition to points gained in the first debate to enter the club. Joe Ford was given three points tow ard membership. The club has given to the faculty advisor, Mr. Roberts, the authority to have debaters appear before him to try out for teams. The question now under discussion is the Bankhead Bill. CICERONIAN SOCIETY The Ciceronian Literary Society held its regular meeting on November 7th, with the president in charge. After a short business session the president welcomed the new members of the club, read the constitution of the club and presented the officers to the new members. The first number on the program was a piano solo by Miss Jane Luck, Rachmanoff’s “Prelude in C Sharp Minor.” Following this was a debate by four of the new members with the subject: Resolved, The State of Georgia should levy a two per cent sales tax on gross sales amounting above SSOO annually. On the affirma tive were William Kelly and, Mayo Royal. On the negative were Marion Clark and Glenn Hogan. By a vote of those present, the negative side was given the decision. Sophomore Class Honors Freshmen at Social The sophomore class was host to the freshmen at a social at the gymnasium on Friday evening, November 7th. The gym was decorated for the occasion with vari-colored leaves and branches. The music was furnished by the “High Hatters’* from Douglasville. i Mr. “Cotton” Williamson, president of the sophomore class, and Miss Hil dred Patrick led the grand march. HOME EC. REPORTER One of the most recent projects studied in the clothing class is the ren ovating of garments. The girls have learned to convert old clothes that have been a skeleton in thein closets into real spirits that may be seen on the campus almost any day. Have you noticed the striking color combinations which have brought out the individual coloring of complexion, hair, and eyes? The girls are using their study of the colors to their indi vidual benefit. The study of harmony, proportion, emphasis, and balance in design haAe helped in the transforming of short dumpy figure into tall, stately ones, while the taller ones are benefit' ting by the ability to camouflage their height. The sophomore foods class has been studying meat, its preparation, und place in the diet. To make this stud} of the “Lowly Kow and Howg” more interesting, Afiss Jenkins carried the class to town to visit some of the Rea meat markets. Rogers* and the A&l stores were very courteous and hind in allowing the inspection of their markets.
