FACULTY ADVISER MR. STROZIER
STUDENT ADVISER LANIER SPENCE
Cheating has been the object o :
ninny discussions recently in bo‘h
club meetings and student gath
erings. Why should this subject be
one of such major importance in
our school? It Is because quiz
papers and work done outside or
class have been found to contain a
great deal of evidence that shows
definitely that not all students re
ly upon their own initiative and
abilities in doing required work.
Although the number of those who
take this unfair advantage of op
portunities Is relatively small, It is
the problem of the entire student
body to defend themselves against
these few.
It Is not necessary to stress the
fact that a cheater cheats only
himself; we have ceased trying to
appeal to his sense of fair play. It
now remains to convince the re
mainder of the student body that
a united front against cheating
must be formed by those who are
interested in upholding the repu
tation of Georgia College. A
cheater destroys not only his own
standlne, but violates the prlnc.F
pies of the school as well. As soon
as the average student loses the
idea of proecting and abetting the
cheater and looks on him as a
meance to fair play, then his dis
honesty will have to end. A cheat
er relys on the esprit d’corps of
the other students to protect him
from exposure. The average stu
dent would not tell on another
THE OFFICER’S CLUB
The highest ideal of living is
contained in the cooperation of
man with man. In a highly com
plex society competition may be
tlie rule, but cooperation is always
the ideal. A suggestion has recent
ly been offered that the leaders in
the student activities on the camp
us unite in a common organiza
tion. The purpose of such an or
ganization as the purposed officers
club is to encourage student en
lightenment on matters of com
munity consideration, to act in de
velopment of knowledge of parli
mentarry procedure, and the du
ties and responsibilities of the va
rious officers of organizations such
as Mu Zeta Alpha, Phi Sigma Al
pha, Circle Francais, Alph Psi, De
bating Club, Ciceronian and Haw
thorne Literary Societies, the Glew
Clubs, the West Georgian and the
Chieftain.
Problems of student interest,
and of student leadership would
be discussed among such a repre
sentative group to the profit of our
campus community. Such a club
At the suggestion of several of
the faculty members, a choir has
been selected composed of mem
bers of both Glee Clubs. This choir
occupies the stage in the Chapel
exercises and its purpose is to
sponsor the music of our programs.
The choir is composed of the fol

DO YOU CHEAT?
student because he thinks he is
violating a code that all of us have
as a sort of heritage from our high
school days—that we must pro
tect each other from authority so
that we in turn may be protected.
Rut why let this person be pro
tected by our code when he is vio
lating the code of honor of the
campus and receiving recognition
for achievement that he has stolen
from us ?
It is thought by some that cheat
ing in the junior college is merely
the hangover from high school,
where it is more or less the “thing
to do;” but in our opinion, when
a student of college still persists in
cheating, it ceases to be a childish
practice and shows nothing but a
lack of character.
The student body should unite
itself not to protect its erring
members, but to wipe out this
practice completely by making li
impossible to receive help by un
fair means and by establishing n
penalty, commonly agreed on, to
he used on persons found guilty.
Students you are not asked to
expose the persons whom you see
cheating, but you are asked to de
fend the reputation of your school
and the recognition of your own ef
forts by doing all in your power to
make chea ing impossible for tnose
unfortunates who are not strong
enough to rely on their efforts and
make the grade.
would be a means of further de
velopment of student-faculty co
operation and mutual trust; this
personal relationship and interest
'has always in the past been a
source of inspiration to the indi
viduals in the personnel of West
Georgia College. It would be to
our advantage to further any at
tempt at such a relationship. Every
officer in student organizations
should realize the possibilities ot
such a cooperative group as is
here advanced. A meeting cf the
officers of the campus organiza
tions was recently called for the
purpose of the formulation of such
a club. There will soon be an ac
tive body functioning in the man
ner proposed, for the good of every
student and his interests. You
have trusted these several students
who compose it with the adminis
tration of your club within its own
support their efforts as they
wmrk for its betterment in relation
to the other activities on our
campus.

Halloween Carnival
Staged In Gymnasium
“MICKEY MOUSE” WINS MAS
QUERADE C ONTEST; BONNER
STEALS SHOW
On Saturday night, October 26,
witches pirates, gypsies and all
heir friends gathered at the West
Georgia gymnasium for the annual
Hallowe’en social.
In the recreation room the
spooks were hidden away, and
most of the students agree that
'hey came to life in a big way
when they visited there. An inter
esting creature who had somehow
escaped the grave after his Cue
time of life was over, was strolling
about the room welcoming the
guests. A stumbling, beared old
man of Ethiopian complexion led
them down a bumpy pathway to a
step-off, leaving most of them
sprawled on the floor where lc>
fingers clutched at their ankles
and pushed them on. They soon
found themselves in front of a wo
man with a mangled appearance.
Pale and cold, she lay on a bench
between two of the windows. At
last the old man led them over to
one side and seated them in front
of a witch who held her victims
spellbound with her wild stories.
In the cen’er of the gym,
Madame Woozywitch had estab
lished her tent. She told her guests
many things which thrilled, scar
ed and encouraged them. Mostly
thrilled, however, because her
talks to the girls always held a
tall, dark man in their futures.
At the lower end of the large
room was Snozzle Wozzle Land.
Here the guests strangled them
selves trying to get an apple in
their months. Instead they were
ducked in the buckets by their
companions standing behind them.
In the opposite corner was
Witches Broth where the hand
some escort fished while his com
panion ate the lollypops which
dangled from the hook and line
provided them. In another comer
was the Witches Wonder World
where the guests were requested
to “hands off” the exhibition and
most of them offered no opposi
tion as the exhibits wrere anything
but inviting. Pete Potts’ duck was
there, as was the burp of a nation.
About ten o’clock Mr. Bonner
became the center of attraction.
He very impressively described
“The Cremation of Sam McGee.”
The theme of this long poem was
quite in keeping with the celebra
tion, and he told it well.
The girls then paraded their
costumes about the room for the
selection of the best costumes.
The first place was very appro
priately given to Mickey Mouse who
turned out to be Katherine Gaines.
Second and third prize went to
Lucy Cox and Ruth Goswick, re
spectively.
About eleven o’clock Mr. Bras
well broke the spell by announc
ing that the hour had arrived for
the masqueraders to see who the
mysterious persons they had been
admiring all evening really were.
Soon afterward, the guests all re
turned to their respective dormi
tories, talking over the fun.
The student body who so en
joyed this entertainment owes a
great deal to Mr. Ingram who gave
permission for the carnival and
finanred it. This social is an an
nual affair and this one was cer
tainly enjoyable.
ity to obtain experience in choir
singing.
Later in the year, the choir is to
form a processional and recession
al to and from room twenty. Also,
special numbers are to be given by
the girls who compose the choir
and by the entire group.
A great deal of interest and ap
preciation has been shown by the
student body and faculty in the
selection of this choir, and it is
expected to prove quite an asset
to the interest and dignity of the
exercises.

Alpha Psi Installs
New Members Soon
The Alpha Psi Home Economics
Club has been organized for this
season. Twenty-five applications
have been received. These new
members will be installed at the

at the Log Cabin November 12.
An interesting program has been
arranged for this meeting. Miss
Lula Edwards, the Home Demon
stration Agent of this district will
be the main feature of the pro
gram.
Some of the members of this
club have been studying the Cot
ton Fiber in their Home Econom

ARNOLD REPRESENTED THE
IN SURANCE PROFESSION;
NICHOLSON SPOKE OCT. 22.
Mr. Hamilton C. Arnold, promi
nent citizen and insurance man of
Newnan, Georgia made a very in
teresting speech to the student
body at the Chapel exercises held
on Friday, October 18. Mr. Arnold
related several interesting facts
about insurance about which most
people are unfamiliar. He spoke of
the different types of insurance
policies that are being written to
day. Mr. Arnold stated that insur
ance can be obtained againt every
thing except wear and tear and de
preciation. Several strange cases
were cited, namely the insuring of
fair grounds against rain, tomb
stones aaginst fire and numerous
other policies which seemed a bit
far-fetched to the average person.
Mr. Arnold pointed out the great
opportunity t'hat there is in the ex
panding field of insurance today,
and the advantages of preparing to
carry on work in this field. He
proved this statement by telling of
the several thousands of Georgia
citizens who are depending on in
surance for their livelihood.

On Friday, October 22, at the
Chapel exercises, Mr. Nicholson,
traveling secretary for the Baptist

West Georgia. Mr. Nicholson point
ed out various problems that are
familiar to students. “Don’t be a

“Whatever you get, let it be origin

Mr. Nicholson’s visit here was in

The first meeting of the year

However, since the members pres

sary business of the club was
transacted.
Pledges for the club have not yet
been selected. Eligibility for mem
bership is based on a grade of A
