N. Y. A. Project
Aids 68 Students
Last year many on our West
Georgia enrollment were given
the opportunity of getting a col
lege education through the Fed
eral Emergency Relief Adminis
tration. This year we have an even
larger group working under the
National Youth Administration
program. This is a program un
der which a student can attend
school and do desirable and pleas
ant work during hours when he
is not in the classroom. The salar
ies are ranging from three to
twelve dollars according to the
length of service required and
which is judged according to the
needs of students. Becoming a
member of this group is considei
ed an honor as the qualifications
are rather high. First, a student
must have a high scholastic rank
ing for his high school or fresh
man record. Second, the recom
mendation of friends must be pass
ed under government confirmation.
And, third, a student must prove
by his own statement and by that
of friends that although he needs
help to come to school, he is

THIRD YEAR SHOWS A
GREATER ENROLLMENT
Freshmen Take Tests
For Placement
Opening Week
During the first two weeks ot
the fall term of 1935-36 the fresh
men students of West Georgia Col
lege have been working on testing
programs sponsored by Dr. Beers,
state examiner of schools. These
tests, required of all freshmen,
were as follows: English Place
ment Test, General Mathematics
examinations. General Science Te3t,
and Social Science Test in World
History. All these tests were com
piled especially for the University
System, although they were used
in various colleges. Every Fresh
man student in each unit of the
University System was required to
take these tests. Three records of
the tests are kept on file. One re
cord is to be retained at the office
of the Board of Regents; one re
cord is to be sent to the superin
tendents of the high schools from
Which the students have graduat
ed; and one record is to be return
ed to the unit system in which the
student took the test.
Besides these state tests, the
Otis High test was given. This is
a test primarily designed to indi
cate the natural intelligence and
reasoning ability of a student.
The only test, to have any bear
ing on the student’s record is fine
English Placement test. Those
falling below the grade of seven :y
--two on this test are required to
a non-credit course in Eng
lish. Any student making a grade
of one hudred and sixty-eight or
above is not required to take fresh
man English at all. Only two stu
dents attained this excellent grade.
They are Virginia Rainey from
Elberton, Ga., and Elizabeth
Strange from Mobile, Ala.
Last year West Georgia College
ranked near the top among the
state colleges in the general aver
ages on these tests. The averages
for this year have not been com
piled, but the students are conti
dent that West Georgia will again
be near the top.
West Ga. College Has
National Fraternity
The Phi Sigma Alpha, the only
national organization on the cam
pus, is a goal which every stud
ent should wish to attain.
At a meeting of the Board of
Trustees at Atlantic City in De
cember, 1932, a national social
science honor society for junior
colleges was authorized. This new
society was incorporated in the
District of Columbia on January
20, 1933, by Dr. John Donaldson,
Mr. John A. Ball, Jr., an instruct
or in Catholic University, and Dr.
James J. Hayden. The name of
the new society, Phi Sigma Alpha,
which was suggested by Dr. S.
Howard Patterson, is formed from
the initials of the Greek words,
“Lovers of the Knowledge of Man.”
Phi Sigma Alpha has the same
general purposes in junior colleges
that Pi Gamma Mu has in senior
colleges and universities. It is a
separate society and operates un
der a separate corporate charter,
but is affiliated with Pi Gamma
Mu and united with it in the pub
lication of Social Science and in
the program sessions of their bi
ennial national conventions. The
first chapter was organized at
Santa Anna Junior College, Santa
Anna, California, but others are
anticipated in many of the junior
colleges.
1936 Freshman Class
Of West Ga. College
Has 177 Members
The third annual opening of
West Georgia College finds the
roster much larger and better than
ever before. Both Dormitories are
packed to capacity, and an increas
ed number of students, within an
area of twenty miles, arq' making
the trip ‘AD ET EX’ daily.
Of fihe 270 students enrolled, 129
are men and 141 are women, 18
are beginning their first year at
West Georgia. 165 of whom are
from accredited high schools, 12
entrants by examinations from un
accredited high schools, and 8
transfers from various other col
leges.
The Freshman Class, numbering
177, is the largest in the brief his
tory of the school, and seems quue
capable of carrying on the splen
did work done by the previous
Freshman Classes
Candidates for the Junior Col
lege Certificate are in the majori
ty, with 118 Fres'hmen ana 59
Sophomores for a total of 177. The
Normal division is second with a
total of 61, and Home Economics
third with 32.
So, judging by statistics, and
figures never lie, it looks as though
this term is going to be an outstand
ing step towards a larger and
greater West Georgia College.

those enrolled for fall quarter.
