Grace Wing Secretary Elizabeth Burnham Treasurer Henry Kitchens The present secretary and treas urer were elected at the last meet ing to fill the vacancies left by Freeman Warren and Earl Brown, respectively, who have not return ed to school this year.

For the past two years the scholastic standards of the club have been of the highest, and it is up to the club of 1935- 36 to keep these standards high in ability and leadership. Admission to the club is based on high scholastic standing in Bi ology, Chemistry, Physical Science, and Mathematics.

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.
