Letters To Santa Claus . ..
Dear Santa:
You havt? no idea how much
I’ve been worrying over how you
are going to come in through the
radiator. However, I've be< n so
good that I’m sure you wouldn’t
let a little thing like a radiator
keep you from paying me a visit.
1 don’t know how you will manage,
but I’m sure you will some way.
If you have considered leaving
out some of the things you have
in your sack for me, may I make
a better suggestion? Why not
reduce?
Where to hang my stocking, is
another thing which has bothered
me terribly. 1 tried driving a
nail in the radiator, and that
wouldn't do, so I finally found a
little shiny thing sticking out on
one side. Well, this woidd have
been the very thing to leave my
stocking hanging on; if 1 hadn’t
tried to see how much the stock
ing would hold, after I put it. there.
You should have heard the lan
guage my room-mate used when
the room filled up with steam. You
wouldn’t bring him nothing but
switches, and potash to wash his
mouth out. He shouldn’t fuss at
me. I didn’t do nothing but break
the little shiny thing off, and it
couldn’t have had all that steam
in it. Anyway I’ve decided to
hang my stocking on the wall.
You won’t miss it, for you can’t
help but see it. Well they won’t
allow me no more room in this
old paper so I'd better say good
bye. Be sure to bring me some
more rat traps. You might even
put in a few bed bug traps if it
isn’t too much trouble. 1 could
also use some more adhesive tape
to patch the windows with, and a
new tooth brush, and a radio, and
anew light bulb, (1 dropped ours
last night), another sweater, and
quite a few more blankets, and
just anything else that you happen
to bring along.
Jim Key.
Dear Santa Claus:
Please bring me a shotgun. The
old one is getting a bit worn out.
Some boys were out in the back
yard the other day and the old
gun wouldn’t work. Then, too,
in view of all the various love af
fairs that seem to be blossoming
forth on the campus, I think that
anew and shiny one would be de
sirable. (Make it white. They say
that that’s the fashion nowadays).
Your Pal,
Dean Gunn.
Dear Santa Claus:
I would like a little powder to
make a person forget things in
the past, if you please. I’ve been
a good little body and I’ve been
going around with a certain red
headed girl for a long time now,
but still she won’t forget a boy
back home. So won’t you please
send me a little of that powder on
your trip around?
One worried guy,
Willis.
Dear Santa Claus:
Please send “Red” Bryan and
Bob Bell a baby doll. They are
all the time yelling for one. Maybe
though it’s just that girl from At
lanta hat t“Red” goes with and
Marge Bowen that they want, but
if you bring either I’m sure that
they will be satisfied.
Love,
Walter Arnold.
Dear Santa:
Please be nice to me, or l will
be very unhappy. Among the few
things I most desire are a pair
of gloves with an extra large
thumb on the right hand, and a
ticket to Cuba on the other.
Yours truly,
Leonard Campbell.
THE WEST GEORGIAN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1937.
Love and kisses Ole topper,
Jimmie Key.
P. S. I almost forgot my room
mate, please bring him some ear
plugs so I can practice my Saxo
phone lessons. Caution: Do not
go down the big chimney on our
dormitory cause don't anybody
live down it.
Dear Santa Claus:
Please send bowls of milk for
the poor little cats, and bones for
tlie skinny little dog that inhabits
the campus eternally so that I
won’t have to smuggle biscuits
for them so often.
Love,
Rachel Hunt.
Dear Santa:
I am not sick, so I can’t use the
doctor; but please bring me the
doctor’s son. And Santa Claus, I
certainly could use new room
mate because I’m sick of Sparkles.
Love,
Virginia Mott.
Dear Santa Claus:
Here are a few letters from the
young ladies and gentlemen of
West Georgia that r hope you will
not over look in your large mail
pack now. We have been good
this year and studied our lessons
every day.
Yours truly,
Student Body.
Dear Santa:
I have a boy friend who bites
his nails and I wish that you would
bring him a nail file and some
thing to put on his fingers to keep
him from bitting his nails. They
say he only does it when he’s in
love, but when I’m around he does
it continually. So I guess that he
needs something done about them
soon.
Please bring me some perfume,
compacts, bracelets, toilet sets,
rings, necklaces, radios, and so
fourth. I have been a good little
girl and I haven’t been one of the
String Sisters for ever so long.
Well, at least, not since yesterday.
So please be good to me.
Love,
Marion.
Dear Santa:
Please bring more and bigger
wild game to West Georgia. In
spite of my narrow escape last
time, I’m still quite willing to take
a chance on bagging some of the
vociferous creatures that inhabit
the world. So if you’ll just put a
game reserve down on West Geor
gia, I would appreciate it very
much.
Also please bring my friend Mr.
Huey some trousers that he can
slip into easily. I’m afraid that
he’ll catch cold if he continues to
do wild gypsy dances like he was
doing the other morning.
Love,
Woodfin.
Dear Santa Claus:
I know you have just lots of
letters from girls and boys ask
ing for toys and such. Please buy
them from Sears Roebuck so that
my girl can get a raise and we can
get married.
Love,
Dick Grace.
Dear Santa Claus:
Please bring me a large mirror
as the one I have now is too small
to practice my crooning by. I
am never able to get all of my
mouth reflection in on the one 1
have now.
Yours truly,
Merlin Goss.
Dear Santa Claus:
If you don’t mind, send me a
girl, a healthy one this time, for
Christmas. It isn’t that I’m dis
satisfied but it is so inconvenient
and expensive to get set just right,
in my courting and then have a
doctor come along and beat my
time.
Sincerely,
Horton Green.
Dear Santa Claus:
I’m not asking for anything for
myself but I do hope you will
bring my little Bill, Jr., many new
clothes and toys for Christmas. He
almost came for Christmas himself
but as he didn’t Bill Chappell,
Senior, and myself both would ap
preciate all you can do for him,
and too, dear Santa, bring me a
key for my door so little Bill, Jr.,
won’t get kidnapped again.
Love,
Geraldine Mcßrayer.
Current Events Now
Used in Social
Sc. One Classes
“An attempt is being made to
see if current events can be taught
successfully at West Georgia Col
lege along with Social Science in
Social Science I class,” stated Mr.
Roberts, Professor of Social Scien
ce.
West Georgia is the only college
undertaking this experiment, and
its success depends upon the re
action of the students in their in
terests in national events. Several
pupils have subscribed to the na
tional weekly magazine, “Nfews
week” to aid them in keeping up
with current affairs.”
Whether or not the experiment
is successful will not be known
until next spring when the grades
of W. G. C. will be compared with
those of other units of the Univer
sity system.
Mr. Roberts, Mr. Bonner, and Dr.
Burns formed the committee to de
cide whether or not West Georgia
should undertake the study of na
tional affairs.
University Students
Are Guests at 4-H
Club Meeting
The last meeting during the fall
quarter of the 4-H Club was held
Tuesday, December 7, in the col
lege auditorium at G:45. The pro
gram of the evening was present
ed by a group of students from the
University of Georgia.
Four of these students spoke on
different phases of 4-H work. Miss
Mary Emma Miller spoke on the
“4-H Home,” Miss Gwendolyn
Hines on the “4-H Loan,” Mr.
Davis on the “4-H Carnival,” and
Mr. Miller on the “4-H Clover
leaf.” These speakers were pre
sented by Mr. Payne. He also in
troduced Mr. G. V. Cunningham,
State 4-H Club Leader, who spoke
on all phases of club work.
During the business session
which followed this program some
important business was discussed.
Plans were formulated for help
ing Georgia Southwestern College
to organize a 4-H Club. An elec
tion for Vice-President of the boys
of the club was held and Charles
L. Goss was chosen. After this
business was translated, a Christ
mas tree was held. Each member
had been given a name with the
order to bring that person a five
cent gift. No name of the sender
was to be enclosed. During all
the excitement Christmas candies
were served.
Roberts Speaks
On Constitution
On Friday morning, December 3,
Mr. Roberts spoke to the student
body using the “Constitution of the
United States” as the topic for
his talk.
On January 2, the one hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of the
Constitution will be celebrated. A
student program is anticipated
early in January to discuss this
historical event. He pointed out
that we have a great lesson to
learn by studying the patience and
self-sacrifice of the fifty - five
Americans who sat through the
sweltering heat at Philadelphia
during the summer of 1787.
He stated that our constitution
is the result of the spirit of com
promise, the spirit of give and take
which made it possible to draw up
a document that has been able to
stand the test of time with few
very serious crises such as the
Civil War.
Mr. Roberts emphasized the fact
that the making of the Constitu
tion is a wonderful example of
the social process—that in this day
of social and economic upheavel
we must not lose sight of the im
portance of debates and discussion
in the solution of the problems
facing the country.
