"VOLUME IV
homemaking course
for boys is to be
given next quarter
TO BE GIVEN BY MISS RUBY
JENKINS AS PART OF
HOME ECONOMICS
A non-credit course, supervised
by the home /economics depart
ment, in homemaking for boys will
be given during the winter and
spring quarters, announced Miss
Ruby Jenkins last week.
This course, established solely for
boys, will not be called home eco
nomics, but will be named “Edu
cation for Personal and Group Liv
ing for Boys”.
Miss Jenkins said this non-credit
course will be built up entirely
around boys, their needs, and their
wants. She also stated that the
course will not be referred to as a
course in home economics.
Library facilities for parallel
reading and study will be setup
during the Christmas holidays.
When asked what books and
authors would be studied, Miss
Jenkins said that as yet she has not
made any definite list for publica
tion, and in fact, the books to be
studied would be selected after the
course got underway, as it will be
built up around boys and their
needs.
Among the items that the course
will deal with include discussions
on home planning and living, se
lecting foods and clothing, the
study of the improvement of per
sonality, and how to feel socially
at ease.
Classes, according to Miss Jen
kins, will be held three times a
week next quarter, and she ex
pressed hope that the course will
be given during the spring quarter.
The study of etiquette both in
everyday life and at social func
tions will be part of the course
which will have as its purpose and
chief goal the perfecting and en
riching the lives of boys and young
men.
An attempt to assist in vocation
al guidance, and in following some
special interest will be considered

“Art Of Being Bored”
Opened Dramatic Season
Edouard Pailler’s highly enter
taining “The Art of Being Bored”,
an eighteenth century comedy, was
presented in the college auditorium
on Tuesday night before the be
ginning of the Thanksgiving holi
days.
The three leading male charact
ers, played by Jack Huckaby, J. G.
Robertson, and O. N. Todd, featur
ed three utterly different types of
lovers. Bellac, played by Huckaby,
advocated platonic love, and
thought that poetry was more than
a moon. Roger, Robertson’s part,
illustrated a dry-as-dust scientist
whose heart was captured by his
young and fascinating pupil, Suz
anne, played by Betty Sewell.
Todd’s portrayal of Paul, a newly
wed, completed the strange triangle
of lovers, his type of love parallel
ing that of 1936.
As for the leading parts played
by the women, Bellac’s love, Lucy,

“GONE WITH THE
WIND” CHOSEN AS
1937 ANNUALTHEME
MARGARET MITCHELL GAVE
CONSENT THREE WEEKS
AGO FOR USE
Frank Kelly, editor-in-chief of
the 1937 Chieftain, announced yes
terday that Margaret Mitchell’s
current novel “Gone With the
Wind” has been selected for the
theme of the Chieftain.
Miss MTtcnell, a resident, of 'At
lanta, very happily consented to
let the editors of the Chieftain use
the book as the theme.
Kelly said that the theme was
selected some four weeks ago, and
had intended to keep it a secret
until the book came off the press
next spring.
However the secret was no more
when the Washington Seminary
yearbook staff announced in the
Atlanta Journal that “Gone With
the Wind” was going to be used
as the theme for the 1937 “Misem
ma”.
In a few days the Journal’s
Peachtree Parade carried a notice
that West Georgia’s yearbook had
first thought of the idea, and that
Margaret Mitchell had given her
consent to use the sensational novel

lover, Suzanne, Betty Sewell; and
Paul’s wife, Jeanne, played by Nell
Q]ggg they all loved adequately
but not sincerely.
“The Art of Being Bored” can be
considered closely kin to the drama
which Oscar Wilde popularized
during his day, making a joke out
of the existing foibles of society.
Bored were all the guests of the
Duchess de Deville, played by Flor
ie Watson except those lovers who
provided themselves with oppor
tunities, to make it modern, “to
get out and have a good time while
the old foggies were on the inside
reading poetry and discussing phil
osophy.”
Mrs. L. E. Roberts, director of
“The Art of Being Bored”, did an
excellent piece of work.
With the much needed assistance
of many of the members of the
cast, the austere editor of the paper
did a most excellent job of pulling
the curtain.
