Page Two THE WEST GEORGIAN Nlilff Novena Harrison Virginia Colquitt Beth Almand K. L. Crawford James Westbrook Bernice Shirey Ix)yce Moon Elva Gordon J. M. Huddleston Mary Hart Clarice Cross Max Heck Kuth Chapman Robert M. Strozier, Faculty Advisor 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 MEETS IN ATHENS The University Council met at the Univ. rsity of Georgia, July 12th, 13th and 14th. These dates were selected since the Education Conference met at the University, July 13rh, 14th and 15th, and many members of the faculties of the University System desired to attend this conference. The general theme of the conference was “Equalizing Educational Oppor tunities in Georgia.” The following members of the faculty attended this conference: President I. S. Ingram, Dean W. Fred Gunn, Mr. N. M. Cawthorn, Registrar, Dr. G. B. Lang, Head of Physical Science Department, Mr. T. A. Hart, Head of Biology De partment, Mr. L. E. Roberts, Head of Social Science Department, and Mr. Robt. M. Strozier, of the Hu manities Department. 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!” Carrollton, Georgia, July 17, 1936 N-O-T-E-S W-E-H-T G-E-O-R-G-I-A President I. S. Ingram of West Georgia College has made a series of speeches in various North Geor gia towns within the past six weeks. On June 6th, he delivered a Layman’s address at the First Methodist church in Canton. Mr. Ingram was the guest speaker at the First Methodist church of La- Fay ette, June 7th.

He spoke recently at the First Methodist church, Decatur, Ga. 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. W. G. C.

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.
