Pledger Carmicheal - West Qeorgia’s
Bespectacler Big - Wig
Thumbnail portraits has him as:
“Hard* worker, trench cap, nose
glasses, and Shifty’s ' Yes-man’;”
and he is them all.
He labors untirelessly, his trench
cap of last year’s fame will never
be forgotten, his nose glasses ARE
nose-glasses and not eye-specs; and
they say that he is Shifty’s Yes
man, and perhaps he is.
One day in July before the War
ended the following November, he
emerged, and eleven years later
he was graduated from the Tyus
High School with such titles as:
President of Junior and Senior
Classes; president of a boys’ club;
president of the Addison Literary
Society; secretary and treasurer of
the high school athletic associa
tion; and manager of the varsity
basketball and baseball teams; and
during those two last years he
served as high school librarian.
Evidently born a newspaper
man, he was the news
paper correspondent, an experience
which has given him so much in
putting forward this year’s West
Georgian. And an agriculture
enthusiast: Captain of the Future
Farmers of America, and captain
of the Tyus delegation to the dis
trict convention of the F. F. of A.,
in Macon and Atlanta.
This year he holds: vice-president
and key member of the Phi Sigma
Alpha; vice-president and inter
collegiate debater and chairman of
the executive committee of the De
bating Club; news editor of the
West Georgian; member of and pu
blicity director of the Mu Zeta
Alpha; a Ciceronian pledge; direc
tor of this year’s inter-club and
inter-collegiate debating champion
ships; co-holder of the debating
championship; editor of the Geor
gia Alpha, Phi Sig’s club publica
tion; and editor-in-chief of the Mu
Zeta Alpha yearbook.
What will he be in later life?

He likes to read, and read, and
read, and work, and work, and
work; is ambitious; is flirtatious, is
slightly flippant, and at times is
somewhat floreated.
His people are English and Irish,
and he contends that his soot-black
hair comes from some Spanish
veins . . . likes women, although
he is generally reputed as being
down on them; and main topic of
conversation is Shifty, the Debat
ing Club, the West Georgian, Phi
Sigma Alpha, and Handley; these
are listed according to interest and
rank. Of course, other topics DO
follow Handley.
He hopes to go to Georgia next
year and take a mixed course of
agriculture, journalism, social scien
ces, speech, and female psychology
. . . and he nurses the idea to be
a part of the growing State of
Georgia—that is, to be a factor on
Georgia’s progress which he con
tends is undobtedly coming to the
light, and the possibilities of Geor
gia are astoundingly evident and
possible.”
His personality: gets aiong with
people wonderfully well, is most
tolerate of friend’s weaknesses and
“vices,” is cooperative, is willing
and capable; but is stubborn a s a
horse about some matters.
Has a brilliant outlook on life
and the future . . . goes to the pic
ture shows sometimes but doesn’t
care much about the theatre . . .
can’t and won’t understand Opera
. . . and spends spare time working
and reading.
Although he would not tell his
favorite faculty member, is there
no doubt about Shifty? Contends
that the social science sage has
had a definite influence on him . . .
is rather precise and flippant in
speech (proof: remember the de
bating tournament when he let
loose?) is possessed with a deter
mination to get the best out of
people when they are useable, and
with the trench cap, the specs, the
black hair, the hoof pecularity, the
inimitable euphonies, Pledger

1937 Chieftain Named
A Supreme Yearbook
(Continued from Page One)
hat, gloves, and a saber, evidently
representing the cavalry, adorning
the top of the front.
Running through out the Chief
tain are Morgan’s clever sketches
of portions of scenes of characters
taken from the 1937 Pulitzer-wirj
ning novel, the sensational “Gone
With the Wind,” showing full page
drawings of Scarlett,; of her tem
permental Irish father Gerald; of
lovable and understanding Uncle
Peter, precise Aunt Pittypat, and
the absurd little Prissy riding
down Peachtree; of Rhett and Scar
lett at the Bazaar; of Scarlett’s ar
rival in Atlanta; and of the barbe
cue at Seven Oaks.
Since the annual is dedicated to
the Atlanta author, there is a full
page picture of Peggy Mitchell, and
a note of thanks to Kelly and his
staff for honoring her -with the
use of her book as the theme, and
for making her so happy with the
dedication to her.
These drawings were approved
by the world-famous author last
week when Kelly, Robertson, Mor
gan and Prof. Strozier were in At
lanta where they had tea with Miss
Mitchell and discussed the draw
ings of which she highly approved.
Tow; ci. tbe back of the new
Chiefta . are cleverly drawn
sketches by Moreau of well-known
students depu 1 heir vices and

either praised or condemned. This
feature department also includes
several pages of neatly arranged
favorite hangouts, both uptown
and on the campus.
Officials of the Foote and Davies
Cos., of Atlanta, the best printers
in the South and who do three
fourths of the annual printing in
the same section, told Robertson
that in their estimation the 1937
Chieftain is the best junior college
annual they have thus far printed,
in addition to it’s surpassing the
1930 Chieftain which was used
as a model in making contracts for
this year’s junior college sales.
The photography work was done
by Thurston-Hatcher of Atlanta,
generally recognized as the lead
ing photographers in the South;
and the engraving was done by the
Photo-Process Engraving Company
also of Atlanta and likewise re
cognized as leaders in the South’s
engraving work. With those two
concerns and the Foot and Davies
Company, the 1937 Chieftain rep
resents the best in the South in the
line of annual work.
THE POSSIBILITY OF A REFUND
J. G. Robertson, business mana
ger, stated last night that if the
sale of annuals continues to be as
good as it is at the present, a re
fund will be made to those who
bought anuals; and that the prices
for those who have not bought will
be reduced according to the a
mount of the refund. Positivelly
no lower, he emphatically asserted.
“It will not be possible to make
this refund,” he warned, “unless
the 175-line marked is reached;
thus far, they have passed the 125-
mark, although they are at the
present being sold for the same
amount as last year’s book.”
Sales for the 100-mark was
reached the day the yearbooks ar
rived.
“To those students who would
like to know what becomes of the
unsold annuals,” Robertson con
tinued, “I turn them into the
office, and from there they are
mailed out to other junior colleges,
to high school libraries in this sec
tion, and are shown to prospective
students.”
The retaking of the annual prints
by the local photographers result
ed in losing all of the printing dis
counts; but despite that, the Chief
tain sold for the same as last year’s
in addition to having more adver
tising than the 1936 annual.
SOMETHING MUST HAPPEN!
J. G. Robertson, Jr., business
manager of the annual, said this
morning that if twenty-five more
annuals are sold within the next
ten days the price will be reduced
for those who have not bought
one; and for those who have al
ready purchased their annual, a
refund will be made. The amount
of the reduction to be made will
be the same amount as will be the
refund, and visa versa. However,
don’t be disappointed if nothing
happens, because if the necessary
number are not sold nothing
WILL happen.
West Georgia’s Library
Opens For Summer Session
ver, College Librarian, “to be in the
new Library Building by the be
ginning of the Summer School
Session.
The order for furniture and oth
er necessary equipment was placed
several weeks ago, but due to
strikes the factories have been un
able to fill it. With wheels turn
ing and workers again plying their
tools, we will soon be occupying
the new building,” she said.
The whole school is proud of this
Library Building, it being one of
the most modern and attractive of
the entire University System. De

constructed under the supervision
of Engineer R. H. Driftmier.
We Both Believe In
Comitant Learning
We hnve for some time been a
believer in comitant learning, and
the more we think about it, the
more we ponder over it, the bet
ter results we see from it, and the
more we timidly apply the use of
it while here, the more we believe
in it and the better we like it.
There’s another fellow on the
campus—not a student in the true
sense of the word —who is, we
think, like us, for at least he seems
to believe in the idea and persuad
es us all to practice it.
He is the prexy, or, in a more
dignified sense, the President.
His interest shown in the club
activities, his willingness to aid
in organizations’ problems (par
ticularly the financial obstacles)
is stubborn but attrefctive proof.
He is to be commended On his
attitude and cooperation (natural
ly expected of any college presi
dent, but this time he went beyond
his expectations and requirements)
shown when the state debating
tournament was held here, and last
week end when the Downs-Kelly-
Marchmont Religious Emphasis
week was so successfully held.
And next week end he is making
possible a trip which we hope
will mean still more to West
Georgia and the West Georgian.
And thanks A ’elluva lot.

P. S. A. Goes National
With Zeta Sigma Pi
(Continued from Page One)
above average in all school work.
Only active members of the Club
are eligible to wear the Key of the
Fraternity. When an active junior
member becomes an active mem
ber he will have met the same re
quirements as have the active
members of the senior colleges,
and he can transfer to a cenior
college and retain his active mem
bership. When members are not
enrolled in school they automati
cally become associate members.
An associate member can become
an active member if he re-enters
school.
The Fraternity was organized by
the present National Executive
Secretary, Dr. R. D. MacNitt, and
Professor Willis H. Hall of the De
partment of Social Science at Wil
mington College, Wilmington, Ohio.
The charter chapters of the Frat
ernity are at: Wilmington College,
Villa Maria College, Central Col
lege, University of Dubuque, Salem
College, Niagara University, Wiley
College, St. Francis College, Eliza
bethtown College, and Livbingston
College. Other chapters are being
rapidly added and the Phi Sigma
Alpha affiliation will swell the list
of chapters of junior colleges.
The motto of the club is “Inves
tigation, Discussion, and Action,”
from which the first letters of the
Greek words are used to form the
name Zeta Sigma PI. The Club
publishes a monthly news-sheet
and an annual Yearbook.
Judge Charles W. Hoffman of
the Cincinnati Court of Domestic
Relations is honorary national
President, and Dr. Francis J. Keen
of Niagara University is National
President. J. Edgar Hoover, Chief
of the Federal Bureau of Investi
gation was recently initiated as an
honorary member by the National
Alpha Chapter.
President Howard Handley an
nounced Wednesday that the local
charter, properly signed by the
national and local officers would
be presented to the Club the night
of the Dinner-Dance. The mem
bership cards of the organization
will also be given at this time.
