The classic example of the perfect (initiation came when Mr. Potts was being initiated into the Mu Zeta Al pha. He had a large piece of appar atus to identify and explain.

BRITTAIN Commencement Speaker 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 (Continued on Sports Page) DR. R. C. RHODES SPEAKS TO MU ZETA ALPHA 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. -For the main part, the students them (Continued on Page 6) WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1935 BARRETT STUDENT PRES.; WING, SMITH EDITORS; STONE HEADS SOPHS Competent students will officiate throughout next year as a result of the election held by the student body on May 22.

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 (C’ontindued on Page 6) | , JBS . 7 >||| ji PRESIDENT I. S.
