TENNIS TEAM REMAINS
UNDEFEATED AFTER
TWO SEASONS
The men’s tennis team has made
a brilliant record this year. The only
undefeated team in school they have
a record of ten victories ana two tie
matches. These victories have been
won over some of the strongest junior
colleges in the state. Among the teams
defeated were Georgia Southwestern,
Bowdon, Alabama State Teacher’s
College at Jacksonville, and Young
Harris.
Harris Hay was the star and num
ber one player on the squad. He was
just unbeatable in junior college ten
nis crcles. In the two years he has
lost only one set. That is a remark
able record in the face of the strong
opposition he was forced to cope with.
Hay was the last word in court gen
eralship, variety of shots, and ability
to cover the court. Hay has beautiful
form in making shots. He is not
the least awkwaid in making any type
of shot. It will be a long time before
West Georgia’s tennis enthusiasts will
find another player the equal of Hay.
Beverly Campbell was anothejr
veteran of two years’ play for West
Georgia. He was probably the best
fighters against odds on the team.
At various times during the season he
would be trailing In the deciding set
and Would fight back to win. His
will to win was one of his greatest

DR. R. C. RHODES SPEAKS

The last meeting of Mu Zeta Alpha
was one of the most interesting of the
whole year. The club had as its guest
speaker Dr. B. C, Rhodes of the Bio
logy Department of Emory. Dr.
Rhodes talk was on eugenics. The
discussion was very impressive to
both the members of the club and the
faculty members and friends who were
invited to this meeting.
Mu Zeta Alpha also had as her guest
Mr. Stewart Martin, the former pres
ident of the organization. He is doing
work at Emory, and was .well qualified
to introduce Dr. Rhodes.
Throughout the year the club has
maintained programs of high interest.

DRAJMATIC CLUB ENDS
SUCCESSFUL SEASON
The West Georgia College Dramatic
Club closed its spring season of 1935
with a most successful run of its
latest production, Moliere’s comedy,
“The Miser,” a translation from the
French.
The play enjoyed a rim of six pre
sentations given over a period of a
week. The “first nighter” for “The
Miser” Avas in Carrollton on Thurs
day, May 2, 1935, at the City Hall
auditorium. The performance was at
tended by the largest audience eveT
present at any college performance in
the history of the school. The large
attendance at the Carrollton showing
is proof that the Dramatic Club is
ever increasing in populartiy. Need
less to say, the acting was up t 0 the
usual par that characterizes the club’s
offerings.
Other performances of “The Mis
er” were given May 3,4, 7, at Mt.
Zion, Centralhatchee, and Temple
respectively. All the performances
were greatly appreciated by the audi
ences. The house at Centralhatchee
was highly appreciative and the cast
had the pleasure of playing before a
“sho nuff” packed house.
The final playing of the comedy
was in Douglasville on May 8 when a
matinee and evening performance.
Both of these were given in the court
house and without the aid of curtains
or mise-en-scene. However, these sur
roundings were more like the setting
by which the seventeenth century com
edy was presented.
Professor Gordon Watson, who had
the lead as the Miser acted most
creditably and carried liis role in the
most polished manner. Prof. Watson
was ably assisted and supported by
the splendid acting of Billy Thomas,
Lanier Spence, Alma Folsom, Liddie
