Culminating a year of outstand
ing social events, the social calen
dar of West Georgia is now com
plete with numerous and promi
nent entertainments to glorify the
past. The first part of the year
was popularized with dances, in
formal receptions, and varied acti
vities occupying week-ends.
Significant among the first dan
ces was that sponsored by the
faculty during the latter part of
October. Attending this dance,
other than the student body and
members of the faculty, were sev
eral former students of the college.
Following this dance the sopho
more class was host to the student
body and faculty at one of the most
enjoyable dances of the year jest
prior to the Thanksgivingg holi
days. A Leap Yearf dance was
unique in both manner of pro
cedure and decorations.
Adding interest and gayety to
the festivities of the month of
December was the dance at which
the men of the dormitory entertain
ed. Music was furnished by the
Cedartown Capers on this occasion,
and the attendance of former stu
dents was notable.
Another dance of prominence,
which inaugurated the approach ot
Spring festivities, was that given
by the Women's Dormitory, honor
ing the faculty, the town students,
the college men arid alumni. For
this occasion the gymnasium was
beautiful and profusely decorated
in resplendent colors and early
spring plants. Featured during
this was a grand march composed
of the members of the Women’s
Council and their escorts.
A most brilliant and elaborate
affair of the year was the annual
masquerade ball at which the
Alpha Psi chapter of West Georgia
entertained April 10, at the college
gymnasium, which was transform
ed into a beautiful imaginary grape
arbor for the occasion. Colorful
costumes and the music of Leonard
Hunt and his orchestra made this
a very memorable event.
Noteworthy among the most re
cent entertainments was the recep
tion at which the Debating Club
received some fifty visiting de
baters on the campus, in the new
library. Over one hundred persons
were present.
The recent dance sponsored by
the town students was also a pro
minent event and it concluded a
series of dances given by collective
groups.
In all respects the social' activi
ties at West Georgia have been
highly entertaining throughout the
past year, and as they are review
ed both singularly and collectively,
there is something worthwhile to
recall about each of them. How
ever, next year should mean a
more prominent engaging in social
activities from all organizations on
the West Georgia campus to pro
duce a more complete and interest
ing social calendar for 1937-38.

Virginia, Dr. Finley, a student of
Nolan is working on the physiol
ogy of the organism. The biological
reason for studying this animal
is primarily cytological, for it
possesses an enormous macronu
cleus which lends itself well to
staining methods.”
Mr. Hart said that from the
standpoint of cytology and general
biology this animal may have some
very important contributions to
make in advancing knowledge of
cell function and may be. the key
to untangle the knotty problem of
the origin of sex in living things.
He said: “My thesis for the
master’s degree will simply be a
preliminary report, an introduc
tion to the study of this very in
teresting animal. I hope in the
near future to be able to continue
my graduate endeavors and com
plete the study of at least one spec
ies of this protozoan as partial ful
filment for the doctorate in Bio
logy”
