MR. BRASWELL
All the members of the faculty
and student body regret that Mr.
Braswell has asked for a year’s
leave of absence from West Geor
gia to study at Yale during the
coming year. They are, however,
pleased to know that Yale has giv
en him a scholarship for his iur
ther studies.
Mr. Braswell has been an enthus
iastic member of West Georgia’s
faculty during the past two years.
He came to West Georgia from the
Y. M. C. A. graduate school in Nash
ville, Tenn., which he had attended
after his graduation from Vander
bilt University.
Mr. Braswell’s untiring energy,
his spontaneous enthusiasm, his
sympathetic interest, and his
straightforward manner have won
him the confidence and admiration
of the entire group.
He has sponsored an athletic pro
gram to include everyone in the
student body; he has initiated new
games and contests hitherto un
known on the campus, he has giv
en the physical weaknesses of the
students his care and close super
vision. By sponsoring health in
spections by well-known doctors
and dentists, he has made the stu
•. let its ttwnrv of their physical needs.
He has served as director of
religious activities on the campus.
He has popularized the Sunday eve
ning vesper service by his inter
esting programs and by his own
liberal leadership.
It is for these and other similar
reasons that We6t Georgia regrets
his departure.
OUR SUMMER SESSION
West Georgia’s fine summer
school further attests the fact that
this branch of the University Sys
tem of Georgia is forging constant
ly ahead. Other older established
colleges do not have so many stu
dents, nor so active a group.
The intense heat has not kept the
entire group from fairly buzzing
with activity from the very begin
ning. The library stays crowded
with students at all hours. Miss
Kelly’s classroom ,with its library
for her courses, stays filled on
even the hottest days. Mr. Bras
well’s classes in swimming and
tap dancing are constantly moving
about with a hurried, interested
air. Mr. Rudolph’s classes are
running over the fields and hills
searching for bugs and flowers.
If anyone came to West Georgia
for the traditional rest cure that
once bespoke summer school, we
are sure he is already aware that
he chose the wrong institution. But
if he came for anew vision and
interest to take back to his stu
dents, we are sure he has found
all of that and more here.
President Ingram, Dean Gunn,
and all the members of the faculty
have shown a sympathetic interest
in the students and have arranged
a program both interesting and
helpful.
It is not unlikely that next sum
mer will see even the new build
ing on the campus filled to ca
pacity.
STUDENTS STAGE OLD
FASHION FOLK DANCE
SOCIAL DANCE PARTY
TUMBLING KXHIBTION ADDED
ATTRACTION FOR HUMMER
SCHOOL STUDENTS
On June 27, West Georgia stu
dents combined the past with the
present in staging a combination
Folk Dance and Social Dance. As
a preliminary to the actual party,
Warner Morgan, Andrew Floyd
and Mr. Braswell put on a twenty
minute act of acrobatics. This
demonstration included forward
rolls, backward rolls, kips, dives,
hand springs, back hand springs,
front flips, back flips, cartwheels,
and individual combinations. The
second part of their act included
combination tumbling. The third
part, the use of the spring boards,
mats, and parallel bars, to do
spring board dives, swan dives,
and hand stand turns over the
parallel bars.
The fourth part of the act in
cluded the use of the horizontal
bar. The actors went through the
front pull over, the bar kip, the
back drop, back leg circle, and
some interesting combinations of
these movements. Most of the
stunts done in the demonstration
were learned by the West Georgia
College acrobatic team during the
regular year. West Georgia Col
lege students have put on three
tumbling exhibtions during the
year and it is hoped the continued
instruction in this field will popu
larize its use more and more in
Georgia schools, for tumbling has
been found to be one of the most
valuable means for developing or
ganic powers in youth .
Next the students were given red
arm bands made of crepe paper
for those who were to act as the
gentlemen in the folk dancing.
After all had been served their
first round of punch which Miss
Effie Kendrick put together, the
dancing got under way. There
were ten quadrilles on the floor
with eight people in each quad
rille.
The caller for the evening was
Mr. Braswell who was ably assist
ed in putting on the sound effects
by Andrew Floyd, Warner Mor
gan and Jane Luck. Miss Georgia
Mae Castleberry took care of pro
ducing the music which sent the
dancers “circling to the right”,
“swinging their partners”, and do
ing a “grand right and left”.
After the first part was over the
other group took the floor with a
period of social dancing. During
this time those who had taken
part in the first dance made great
progress in drinking the punch
bowl dry.
This program of folk-dancing
and social dancing continued
through the evening and about two
hours later a tired, but thoroughly
recreated group of summer school
students headed for their homes
and the dormitories.
“Mother, what is that tramp do
ing with that piece of paper?”
“Hush, darling, that is a college
graduate with his diploma.”
Dr. Lang: “Claude, what do you
mean by chewing gum in my class
that way?”
Claude S., Jr.: “Well, I’m only
an amachewer.”
Mr. Braswell on recent date:
“Dearest”, he sighed, “Couldn’t you
learn to love me?’ ’
“Well, I might”, coyly replied
the sweet young thing. “I finally
learned to eat spinach.”
Het Peacock, just operated on
for appendicitis: “Oh, Doctor, will
the scar show?”
Doctor: “Not if you’re careful.”
The West Georgian
“Who Is The Person
Who Snores So Loudly ?”
There is a great, perplexing
question in the upstairs of the
boys’ dorimtory. This unsolved,
but solvable problem is: "\\ HO IS
THE PERSON WHO SNORES SO
LOUDLY?”
Mrs. Hammond and Miss Ban
key insist they don’t snore; in tact
they were surprised that anyone
would accuse them of it. The en
tire group decided that the blame
must lie on one of four people:
Mr. Rudolph, Mr. Braswell, Mr.
Stubblefield or Mr. Cavvthon .
At first the group was almost
sure that, although not so large
as some of his competitors, Mr.
Cawthon was tne person responsi
ble for the loud, almost bellowing,
snorts of an accomplished snorer.
Just when the guilt was ftrmxy
placed there, Mr. Cawthon lett tor
his vacation. But, alas, the snor
ing continued. Mrs. Milburn
screamed out with a nightmare
only a night later. She tnen was
given the blame, but both Mrs.
Milburn and Mrs. Linkus claim
no knowledge of ever having
snored.
Mr. Braswell was sick recently
and slept downstairs, but still tne
snoring continued.
With only Mr. Rudolph and
Mr. Stubblefield left in tne field
of contestants, the race has been
w r axing very warm. (Privately tne
students are betting for a K. O. by
Mr. Rudolph).
UNIVERSITY COUNCIL

School Superintendents
Entertained by Faculty
And Student Body Here
The faculty and student body of
West Georgia entertained the sup
erintendents of this section of the
state Wednesday at the Symposium,
offered by Miss Kelly’s classes in
curriculum.
Dr. M. D. Collins, recently honor
ed by the National Education As
sociation at its meeting in Port
land, was the speaker of the day
Mr. Collins spoke interestingly of
the recent convention, and com
plimented West Georgia for the
work it is doing in curriculum as
well as in other fields.
The superintendents present
were interested in the projects be
ing carried through by the classes
at West Georgia.
Unnecessary remarks: Pee Willy
when he saw Max Beck kissing
some girl goodbye over in front
of the Boy’s Dormitory: “Max, I
didn’t know T your mother was so
young.”
West Georgia Students
Visits Dunaway Gardens
In Newnan Last Friday
One of the most interesting of
the summer features was the trip
to the Hettie Jane Dunaway Gar
dens at Newnan, made Friday af
ternoon, July 10th.
A special admission price to the
gardens, including dinner, the
right to see these wonderful gar
dens, and the performance of
Shakespeare’s “As You Like It ,
was made to the students of West
Georgia.
About thirty members of the
faculty and student body attend
ed, along with several people from
Carrollton and Temple.
The Sewells are sponsoring there
one of the most interesting pro
jects in the state of Georgia. Mr.
Forrest, who is director of the
drama school there, is formerly a
professor of dramatics and diction
at Emerson, in Boston.
The Sew r ell family has developed
these famous gardens, built swim
ming pools, an amphitheatre, and
brought troupes of dancers and
actors from the East to study and
teach.
The performance Friday evening
was of a very high type. It show
ed careful preparation by an in
telligent group of actors.
Miss Zoe Cowan’s Suitcase
Disappears While On Trip
Friends of Miss Zoe Cowan, of
the Education and English de
partments, are sympathizing with
her in the loss of her suitcase, the
weekend of July 4th.
Miss Cowan was returning from
the weekend in Athens; she left
her bag in care of a porter at the
bus terminal for only a few min
utes. When she returned someone
had picked up the bag and left.
Since then she has been in com
munication with the Atlanta police
who have tried to locate the bag,
but she has heard nothing. She
was especially at a loss, having in
the bag at the time many of the
new clothes she had bought for
her trip to the Canal Zone.
CIVITAN CLUB HAS
PICNIC ON CAMPUS
Both the Civitan club of Car
rollton and the students of West
Georgia College were entertained
on the campus, Friday evening,
June 26th. While the students
were having supper, the members
of the Civitan club and their wives
were entertained at a picnic on the
front campus.
Mr. and Mrs. Ingram entertained
the members of the faculty at this
picnic.
Later the club members, their
wives and the students gathered
in the auditorium for a program
of musical specialties by a group
of entertainers from the Kiwanis
club of Atlanta.
An interesting and varied pro
gram was given. Probably the
highlight of the evening was the
imitation of an old-time medicine
show.
Mr. Strozier: “Mama, my girl put
a coupla x’s at the end of her last
letter, what did she mean?”
Mrs. Strozier: “Simple Robert.
She means that she’s double cross
ing you.”
Andy: “What’s this?”
Morgan: “A portrait of a lady.”
Andy “My gosh and you call
yourself an artist. ’
Morgan: “No, I’m a woman hat
ter!”

Tune: “Where the River Shan
non Flows” .Words by Lula Wees
ner.
There’s a college at Genola
Where West Georgia teachers go,
Where the Tallapoosa’s flowing
And the watermelons grow.
There are teachers there to teach
me;
There are friends right there to
greet me;
There are classmates there to
meet me
Where the trees of knowledge
grow.
CHORUS
Where the Tallapoosa’s flowing,
Where the watermelons grow,
There’s my dear old Alma Mater,
And to Carrollton I’ll go
There are friends right there to
greet me;
There are classmates there to
meet me;
Where the Tallapoosa flows.
(Stanza 2—Just for fun!)
To Genola I am going
Where the Tallapoosa flows,
Mr. Braswell teaches dancing,
And the girls all meet their beaux.
Where they fix good meals for
many,
Where they have ice cream
a-plenty,
And money, need not any,
Where West Georgia teachers go.

Paulding County And
Cedartown Have Fine
Representations Here
Everyone at West Georgia has
been aware this summer of two
fine representations on the camp
us, namely, Paulding county and
Cedartown.
If the Paulding and Cedartown
groups should get together to run
the campus, they probably would
be able to elect all officers, plan
all socials and shape the destinies
of the school policy.
They have not taken advantage
of their strength in number, but
have made a splendid contribution
to the entire organization.
