Unusal Opportunities Offered
For Student Developement
Extra-curricular activities offer unusual opportu
nities for the student’s social life. There are various
organizations and honorary societies such as the
French Club, Mu Zeta Alpha, Phi Sigma Alpha, and
several others. The students edit The Chieftain, the
college annual, each spring. Every two weeks, The
West Georgian, the college newspaper, is edited
and distributed by the students. This paper was
awarded a cup this year for being best among the
Junior College publications in the state of Georgia.
The faculty members are the students’ friends
and guides. The atmosphere is genuinely Christian
although non-sectarian. The churches of Carrollton
offer an opportunity for religious work and de
velopment.
Carrollton has a modernly equipped clinic with
physicians, surgeons, and nurses in attendance and
these are at the disposal of the college.
The people of Carrollton have shown a remark
able spirit of cooperation with the college and
with the students.
All faculty members will be back with the ex
ception of Miss Cowen who has a year’s leave of
absence to attend Peabody College and Professor
Gordon Watson who has a fellowship at the Uni
versity of North Carolina.
Three new faculty members will be added by the
Julius Rosenwald Foundation, Mr. O. C. Mulkey, Jr.,
Mr. Porter Claxton, and Miss Nettie Borgdon. Mr.
Taylor is coming as full time Physical Education
director and coach. All prospects for this fall point
to a better year than any we have ever had.
