It should be of interest to the sev
eral belles of West Georgia to learn
that Handsome Jesse (Crottie) Eaton,
while feeling exceptionally well one
of these last few nights, wrote a most
loving and heart-thrilling love letter
to Miss Martha Millions, one of the
campus beauties.
Joe Ford, line-slinging line-stringer,
also writes notes and should soon need
a secretary.
A certain young man who wears
glasses recently made the statement
that he thought Ray Dean Watts was
the most harmless boy (?) at Geuola.
(Ah yas, the genteel Genola Giant.)
Mr. Gunn: I received a love letter

“It’s alright for a woman to boss
her husband; I don’t mind that much.”
—Roberts.
“Have you seen Mr. Braswell’s sis
ter? She’s real attractive; not at all
like Mr. Braswell.” —Wiggins.
What waitress ac the dining hall is

Three is sometimes a crowd, but ev

Dr. Ralph Harlow Visits
West Georgia Students;
Gives Several Talks
Dr. Ralph Harlow, of Smith College,
and Mr. Ed Secrest, of the University
.f Georgia, were visitors to West
Georgia during part of the week of
January 25. Dr. Harlow is professor
.f Religious Education and Social
Ethics at Smith College in Northamp
ton, Mass., and Mr. Secrest is V. M. < .
A. director at the University. Theii
appearance here was sponsored by the
Social Science Club and the Voluntary
Religious Association.
Dr. Harlow spoke to the students
several times while here. His first
appearance was at the meeting of the
Social Science Club at the home of
Miss Doris Wiggins in Carollton on
Thursday evening when he spoke with
this question as the theme: “Does A
College Education Make One More
Intelligent?” On Friday Dr. Harlow
spoke to the faculty and students at
the chapel hour and afterwards to the
history classes on Jeffersonian and
Hamiltonian policies of government.
On Friday afternoon the Social
Science Club and the Voluntary Re

MEN’S GLEE CLUB TO
GO ON ROAD MARCH 1
The Men’s Glee Club of West Geor
gia is making plans for a tour which
shall begin the first of March. The
tour shall include most all the larger
towns of the western part of the state.
Manchester is the first scheduled per
formance, and is to be March 1. 1 hat
is to be followed by a performance
in LaGrange on March 6. The club ex
pects to include in its series of con
certs Greenville, Newnan, Cedartown,
Rockmart and several others. The
concert program will include about
eight or ten spirituals and about the
same number of old classics and semi
classics. There will also be seveial
skits that are certain to prove most
amusing. All of this will go to make
up a most enjoyable program, most es
pecially for those who love good sing
ing.
However, should any of the students
hear a peculiar sort of noise as they
sit in class or walk about the campus
they should not be alarmed. It will
most likely be some of Mr. Watson’s
songsters tuning up to get the husk
iness out of their voices. That peculiar
sort of noise is called vocalization and
is done in accordance with a special
request made by Mr. Watson in order
to make the voice more mellow.
But, after all, that which you hear
is only a small portion of the work
which the Glee Club is doing. The
club is having, in addition to its reg
ular Monday night and Thursday
morning practices, short practices every
day which are doing the singers much
good. They are making much progress
in preparation of the program and
have already learned the greater part
of it.
All the members are looking forward
with a great deal of pleasure to the
coming tour and are doing their part
to make it a most successful one.

West Ga. Braves Defeat
Gordon Presbyterian
In A Thrilling Game
West Georgia won its first victory
of the season last Friday night by de
feating Gordon Presbyterian Sunday
School of Atlanta by a score of 35-33.
The game was rather listless until the
closing minute of the fourth quarter
when the two teams suddenly awoke
and their desperate playing brought
ihe spectators to their feet in a frenzy
cf excitement.
The first quarter was very slow and
uninteresting. Neither team was able
to work the ball in close enough for a
try at the basket. The quarter ended
with Gordon Presbyterian leading by
um; pohn, o-;>. 'Tn tin, .second quarter
the West Georgia offense began to
click. Led by Sammie Fields , the
Braves made several crip shots good.
Every man on the West Georgia team
was playing a good game both offen
sively and defensively. During this
period the Braves scored sixteen points
to Gordon’s two. The half ended with
West Georgiq making a runaway of
the game, 21-8.
This third quarter was almost West
Georgia’s Waterloo. The Sunday School
boys suddenly found their shooting
eyes. This reversal of form plus the
overconfidence of the Braves almost
proved their undoing. The Braves did
not seem to be able to make many of
their shots good during this period of
the game, while the Atlanta boys were
sinking beautiful shots from any po
sition of the court. Led by Kidel
buger, a very fast forward, and At
kinson, a heavyweight guard, they
only trailed by 29-26. The final quar
ter was desperately fought with neither
team having an advantage. Sammie
Fields won the game with a beautiful
shot from behind the foul line that
anly touched the bottom of the net
just before the final whistle. There
were many sighs of relief from the
West Georgia supporters when the

MR. BRASWELL VISITS
THE BERRY SCHOOLS
Dr. Ralph Harlow, of Smith College,
Northampton, Mass., and Mr. E. L.
Secrest, head of the Voluntary Relig
ious Association of the University of
Georgia, had as a guest, Mr. David
M. Braswell, on a visit to Rome and
Berry schools last week-end. Satur
day, Dr. Harlow spoke at the college
to a thousand students, followed by
a speech to the high school students
Saturday evening. During the day,
the visitors were carried over the
grounds of Berry schools where they
saw many interesting sights, among
which-were the new Ford buildings,
Ihe great reservoir and many beautiful
buildings. Some ideas were given to
them of the great area the campus
covers which is about 32,000 acres.
On Sunday morning they were guests
of the Men’s Bible class of the First
Presbyterian church at Rome. They
had dinner in the home of Miss Martha
Berry, who is known to all of us as the
founder of Berry Schools.
All reports show that the students
of Berry were very enthusiastic about
Dr. Harlow’s speeches and .enjoyed
them to a great extent. Berry Schools
are the show places of Georgia and
have done much in rendering a unique
service to the mountain students of
the State and in affording opportuni
ties for students who desire to work,
for an education. The greatness of the
institution is based upon the ability,
faith and personality of its founder,
Miss Martha Berry.
