Faculty Make
Many Plans For
Summer Months
Since it is necessary to do .some
thing with one self during the sum
mer, the faculty has fallen Into the
scheme of things and revealed
their plans for the hot months.
Mr. Hart, after teaching during
the six weeks of summer school,
plans to work on his thesis and
receive his M. S. in Hiology some
time in August. Then he and Mrs.
Hart are going on a short trip to
Cumberland Falls, Kentucky.
Miss Downs will be at West Ga.
for the summer session to teach
the two curriculum courses. After
wards she is going to Peabody in
Nashville for their second term of
summer work. Luter in the season
she will be at her home in Wat
kinsvllle.
Following the summer session
here Miss St. Clair’s plans include
Texas and the Dallas Exposition.
Mr. Roberts is going "to see
Georgia first,” after laboring with
West Georgia students in summer
school.
Miss Ward has tentative plans
for Daytona Reach, Florida, fol
lowing the summer session here.
Dean Gunn has a full summer
ahead. H 6 is going to be doubly
busy with summer school due to
Mr. Ingram’s absence. From July
30 to August 7, he will be one of
one hundred representatives
among Southern Educators on a
free trip to a Conference on Edu
cation and Race Relations at Blue
Ridge, N. C. He then hones for a
few days r ’CHt at 'his camp near
Lake Burton.
Mr. Watson s diet for the sum
mer centers on summer school,
teaching m ’he morning, swim
ming in tne afternoon.
Mr. Ingram and Mr. Strozier are
to study further towards the doc
torate at the University of Chi
cago, Mr. Ingram for six weeks
and Mr. Strozer for the twelve
weeks term. They are to leave
Sunday, June 13th.
There are those faculty members
who say, “Summer school at West
Georgia—then?” These include
Miss Weaver, Miss Jenkins, Mr.
Bonner, Dr. Lang, and Mr. Howell.
After six weeks of summer
school work Miss Burkhalter will
be off to Washington, D. C.
May it be said (says he) that
“the Registrar as usual will be
summering in dear old Genola.”

Cow Pasture Yields Material
For Biological Research
Asa result of the reseai'ch work
he has been doing in Biology at
Emory University, where he is a
candidate for the Master of Science
Degree in August, Professor Tho
mas A. Hart of the West Georgia
College Biology Department, has
been initiated as an active mem
ber of Phi Sigma, national honor
ary biological fraternity. Mr. Hart’s
former teacher, Dr. Paul A. War
ren, now at Tufts College, is Chan
cellor of the fraternity.
Mr. Hart who has been doing re
search work on the Vorticella, ex
plained that there are in the Emory
Biology Department two eminent
scientiests who are very interested
in protozoology, and the ones who
do graduate work at Emory are na
turally influenced by them in the
choice of their field of research.
In an interview, Mr. Hart stated
that while taking a graduate course
in Protozoology last summer he
ran across a small bell shaped ani

Robert Knox
His Clip Rwnneth Over ■.
An Insight Into The Inscrutable
Way Of Editors At Conventions
Winner take all! And so our
Editor did, or at least, he took all
he could get, and even that was
the very best. Well, you can count
on “Shakespeare.” Cups seem to
be more or less a fad with him,
anyway especially when they
“runneth over” so to speak. Of
course- when the term “runneth
over” is used, it merely refers to
something like the “cornucopia”—
running over with the fruits of
success.
And so the story goes, the cur
tain opens on Act I, and we see our
Editor in Savannah, busily en
gaged in the process of biting his
fingernails and also being nervous
in other ways. The air about him
is blue with smoke, and there is a
far away look in his eyes as if he
were dreaming of—Well —it’s hard
to say, as his face looks sort of
blank, but possibly he is dream
ing of how proud his “Alma Mam
my” would be of him, if he could
only win that cup by entering the
“Alma Mammy’s” official organ in
this contest.
Then comes the great climax in
Act 11. The “Winnah” is announc
ed it is, oh, it can’t be, but
ah, yes, it IS The “WEST GEOR
GIAN.” Our Editor modestly pass
mal, named Vorticella, which was
one of the first protozoa ever seen.
“The history of the Vorticella goes
back to Leeuwenhoek in 1675 who
saw it for the first time. Since it
is a free-living animal it has no
medicinal values nor any so-called
“practical” value. Even though the
known history of the organism
goes back to the seventeenth cen
tury, its complete life history has
never been worked cut.
“My research for the last year
has been an attempt to describe
the animal in the living condition
and prepare slides illustrating vari
ous phases of its life. Practically
all the material I used came from
Mr. Merrill’s cow pasture. In a
small stream flowing across the
pasture is an abundance of what
is commonly called green-felt
(pond scum) or more technically
known as Spirogyra, a green algae.
Vorticella are nearly always found

es out, but he is quickly revived
when the suggestion is made that
they all adjourn to “Ye Olde Tav
ern” where there would be a cup
for all. so no one would feel left
out because he didn’t win the cup.
(It was a very thoughtful suggest
ion and unselfish, too).
But, incidentally, it appears that
fame never comes into a person's
lift- without his wishing to taste
more of it, after the first cupful.
Therefore, one cup did not seem
to be sufficient for our Editor; he
undoubtedly thought he should
have more!
It is apparent that our Editor
also had the thought that cups
are still being used to hold flow
ers, and it is also apparent that he
is especially fond of flowers of the
“Four-Rose” variety. (We wonder
if our Editor always looks through
rose-colored glasses! Any way, we
note that the roses were very fra
grant; their sweet perfume lasted
even after our Editor arrived
home.)
All in all, we are very proud of
our Editor, and we hold this cup
as our standard, something that is
an ideal worth striving for. May
it ever make us realize the reward
of effort and cause us to work
harder for similar honors in the
years to come, so as to make our
college one of the most outstand
ing.

Campus Personalities ...
Robert (Ob) Knox ( ious ): Erstwhile
Editor Of This Rag
Robert Knox, B. M. O. C., is the
subject of this campus personality.
Since he’s been writing them about
everyone else and getting by with
bloody murder, it would be only
fair to give him the devil. But
somehow, since the weather is hot
and Knox has won the cup (You’ve
heard about the cup, haven’t
you?); it is hard to be as mean as
our subject justly deserves.
Knox is the typical sophomore;
we aren’t sure he’s a moron but
we’ll call him that until we find a
better appellation. His hobbies,
which are few, include trucking,
Bob Jackson, Het, college sophis
tication and trucking.
He is keenly sensitive which
proves that he has also a soul, all
doubts to the contrary notwith
standing, however, but. He has a
definite flair for writing, yet his
oral expression hardly makes one
suspect such hidden genius. His
desire to be suave has cost him
something in the way of friends
and personality development, but
no one denies that he is an indi
vidual. If he took his hair down
he would probably be gentle and
kind to everyone, including dumb
animals, but his brittle exterior
makes sentiment impossible.
He comes from Thomaston,
where he has been a big mill mag
got, sold ice cream, had a steady,
(incidentally he still writes to her
where she studies at a large south
ern college) and did his part in
a military way at the R. E. Lee
Institute. By the way don’t fail
to take full conizance of that word,
INSTITUTE, not high school. That
would be too, too mundane.
He has been accused to using
all sorts of blackmail to keep some
of his most hidden secrets from
rural arts. Prof. Porter Claxton
will be coordinator for this part of
the project.
5. To readjust the college cur
riculum to bring it in closer alli
ance with the aims and objectives
of the training of rural teachers.
Some of the new teachers who
are to help instigate this program
will report to West Georgia College
during the summer.
Extensive preparations have
been carried on all spring by Presi
dent Ingram and Dean Gunn of the
college. The program will actually
begin operation July Ist.
Educators throughout the south
have been interested in West Geor
gia College’s work during the past
four years of its existence, and
this but attests that national re
cognition is assured.
The new project under the Ros
enwald Fund will in no way affect
the regular Junior College course'
which has always been a major
part of the College’s course.
The attention brought the col
lege already by the new project
has greatly increased the rolls for
the coming summer session and
promises to fill to more than ca
pacity all available space for the
coming year.

coming to light in Screamlines,
but we are inclined to think that
such is not the case. We prefer to
think he has no hidden secrets!!!!
But he is not bland and straight
forward, even a biographer must
admit. Often his obvious subtleties
lead one into all sorts of devious
paths.
Although he has gone around
saying he doesn’t care whether
people like him or not, most do,
as they feel he cares, too, which
he probably does. He has visions
of being a big shot some day, and
probably will be.
The past quarter at school has
made his enemies firmer but to
balance the sheet, it has also
strengthened his friends. Hence
one would surmise that his person
ality has more nearly crystallized.
It is a little hard to remember him
as the studious, quiet freshman
he used to be when he roomed
with Racy.
No one has ever found out just
what he and Bob do when they
decide to wander off for the week
end, but one might gather from the
sly asides, grins and raised eye
brows that now he is really a man
of the world. He will probably
have a lot of tales to tell the peo
ple at home, who incidentally still
eaU him Bobby.
