BE A BOOSTER FOR W G.C. Volume Three RIVERS AND STEPHENS WIN AT STUDENT POLLS dramatic CLUB GIVES PRODUCTION “The Thunderbolt” Is Big Success The presentation of “The Thun derbolt”, by Sir Arthur Wing Pi nero, Tuesday and Wednesday eve nings, May 5 and 6, was perhaps the most ambitious undertaking of the West Georgia College Dramatic Club. The club took for the spring production a dramatic, modern play rather than a costume, period piece as heretofore. The success of the play depended upon the acting ability of the members of the club, rather than upon scenic effects or clever, scintillating lines. Glen Hogan as Tad, and Mary Cole as his wife, Phylis, took the acting honors of the evening. As the misunderstood members of a large, grasping family they gained the sympathy of the audience by their sympathetic portrayals. Both stayed wholly in character through out the entire play, and showed un usual poise, clarity of diction, dignity and ease. In the role of the two lawyers, O. N. Todd, Jr., and Lewis Reese, played straight parts with finesse and precision. Todd’s natural manner and his dramatic questioning of Tad during the third act show that he has decided talent. Reese who had made him self quite a name in high school productions before coming to West Georgia amused his audience with clever inflections of voice and change of pace. Rosey Spence as the loud, harsh brother, James, who finally shows he has a heart, kept the center of the stage with a natural ease. Spence’s voice is clear and concise, his manner always assured. Lov ett Newell, James Maxwell, Grace Wing, Jane Luck, and Henrietta Peacock played the other parts of the brothers and sisters with venom. They made the grasping, cold members of this English provin cial family seem understandable and real. Grace Wing, as the only sister of the scheming brothers, was especially acid in her many comments. The part of the butler was play ed by Jack Stephens and the maid by Mildred Lovvorn. The play was produced and directed by Robert M. Strozier. Many students and friends of the college in the community were present for each performance. Prof. Howell Elected To Honor Fraternity Mr. M. E. Howell, professor of Chemistry and Mathematics at West Georgia College was recent ly given distinctive recognition by being elected to a national honor ary mathematics society. Mr. How ell has already attended meetings and is taking an active part in the organization.

Rivers was elected president of the Stu dent Body for 1936-37. This vic tory, though not an unexpected one, marks the third straight tri umph for dormitory candidates ov er their rival town student op ponents. The race witnessed a good deal of competition among the candidates for the office, name ly, Owen Spinks, runner-up, O. N. Todd, day student, and Robert Jackson.
