Ciceronian Society
Hears Address By
Mrs. M. C. Wiley
A meeting of the Ciceronian Li
terary Society was held on Wed
nesday evening, December 8, at
7:30 o’clock. President Rachel
Hunt presided over the brief dis
cussion of business matters, after
which the program was turned
over to Dan Brewster.
The guest speaker of the even
ing was Mrs. W. C. Wiley of Car
rollton. She spoke on the "Advan
tages of Communism.” In her
talk she gave several examples
of the successes of handicapped
people. Mrs. Franklin D. Roose
velt from childhood has been
praised far and wide for her
extremely good work toward aid
ing humanity. Even our Presi
dent, who cannot walk alone today,
has climbed to the highest sum
mit of achievement.
Success is not gained by knowl
edge and power nearly as much as
by pure humaness, Mrs. Wiley
said. The commandment "Do unto
others as you would have them
do unto you,” is a good motto to
follow if you are striving toward
success and happiness. One must
learn to mix and mingle with peo
ple in all walks of life, she said.
Mrs. Wiley told the story of
an old lady who was surrounded
by all the luxurious things ot
life, but because of never having
learned how to associate with
people had missed the most im
portant thing in life. She found
out too late that luxury was not
nearly as substantial and com
forting as close friendship and
associations.
“Sharecroppers”
Discussion Topic Of
Third Little Forum
The third Little Public Forum,
sponsored by Zeta Sigma Pi. was
held in the college auditorium,
Thursday, December 9, at seven
o’clock. Professor L. E. Roberts,
acting as Master of Ceremonies,
introduced the students who led
the discussion. They were Martha
Gladd, Frances Wallis and Wil
burn Boggs. The subject for the
evening was “Sharecroppers.”
The purpose of these Little
Forums is to offer the students
and facultj' members who are in
terested in current problems, a
place and occasion to get together
and exchange ideas so as to add
more to their knowledge.
The group taking part in this
discussion is increasing each time
and it is expected that before
many more such discussion are
held.

Dear Santa ... The Faculty
In the hustle and the bustle of
the students asking from Santa
Claus what they wanted, the
faculty was almost overlooked.
They too have their "wants” and
as they have been good and given
hard test every week as they
should perhaps ole Santa Claus
will look into their wishes too.
Upon interviewing a few of
them this was found out:
Miss Preston, with a tired look
at me, "I want a million dollars
so I can stop -reaching!” Now
surely Santa won’t overlook that
little item.
Miss St. Clair, still new at being
mama to so many girls at the
same time, wishes that Santa
would bring all of her girls noise
less bed room slippers, (the halls
echoes so bad in the new dormi
tory.)
Mr. Strozier sighed a definite
sigh and declared he wanted a
Moo -- chers:
Collegiate Lovers
Disturbed by Cow
The local campus is inhabited, or
should it be said infested, with
many forms of wild life. Cats
and kittens in the girls dorm . . .
dogs, bed-bugs and “horse-radish
es” in the boys dorm . . . birds flit
ting about the campus . . . squir
rels in the groves (formerly) . . .
and beautiful blond and brunette
“chickens.” Oh yes! Rats (fresh
men) also may be seen slinking
about.
Not long ago a group of dates
were hovering about on the porch
of the New Dormitory, one eye
cocked on the inside where Miss
St. Clair was on patrol, the other
eye was being utilized also. While
the young men and ladies were
doing this (only this and a bit
of conversation of course) a hedi
ous, blood-curling and disconted
MOO was loosened by a member
of the collegiate herd.
Well . . . the writer doesn’t
know, but rather guesses that
these are the necessary additions
to make the metropolis of Genola
more homey.
‘Aftsr Supper Club”
Probably the most fanciful extra
curricular activity on the campus
is one which holds a session every
evening after supper, beneath the
; preading shadows of the ‘ac build
ing and trees.

wife. Why couldn’t he have pick
ed out something hard?
Miss Ward wants, ever so bad
all non-squeaky floors for the
girls old dormitory. And too,
while Santa is giving out noise
less bedroom slippers she wants
her girls to get them too. They
need them bad.
Mr. and Mrs. Howell want anew
house for Christmas. Now don’t
Santa have a time getting that
down a chimney?
Mr. Brown would like to have a
Bernhardt and Ba • ymore for
Christmas. He needs t>' em so much
so that he can have at least two
actors in his plays. There seems
to be a scarcity here at West
Georgia.
All in all they seem to be pretty
much unselfish wishes so perhaps
if they’re still good “girls and
boys” by the time exams are over,
their wishes will be realities.
WOMAN
Gloomy Giis
3he’s an angel in truth, a demon
in fiction;
A woman’s the greatest of all con
tradictions.
She’s afraid of a cockroach, she’ll
scream at a mouse,
But she’ll tackle a husband *as
big as a house.
She’ll take him for better and take
him for worse,
She’ll split his head open, then be
his nurse.
And when he is well and can get
out of bed,
She’d pick up a teapot and throw
at his head,
She’s faithful, deceitful, keen sight
ed and blind.
She’s crafty, she’s simple, she’s
cruel, she’s kind.
She’ll lift a man up, she’ll cast
him down;
She’ll make him her hero, her
ruler, her clown.
You fancy she’s this, but you find
she is that,
For she’ll play like a kitten and
bite like a cat;
In the morning she will, but in
the evening she won’t,
And you’re always expecting she
does but she don’t.
Sara Gladney Heads
W.G.C. French Club
Robert. Strozier, faculty advisor
of the French Club, announced
that the officers of the organiza
tion have been selected. Sara
Gladney was elected president,
Francis Wallis, vice-president, and
June Hewitt, secretary-treasury.
Betty Rooker was chosen program
chairman.

W.G.C. Orchestra
Assured As White
Begins Instruction
The prospects are good that a
W. G. C. band and orchestra will
soon be playing on various oc
casions. Mr. White, of Atlanta, is
to oe the director. He is now very
busy organizing the group. Mr.
White teaches music in several of
the Atlanta institutions, including
the O’Keef schools. For the past
six weeks he has been making
weekly trips to West Georgia, giv
ing private lesson to those who
need training before they will be
able to play in the band.
Several students have their own
instruments, and the school had
quite a few . . . some of which
were in bad need of repair. The
school assumed the responsibility
of half of the repair expenses, and
the students who wish to use the
instruments are to pay the remain
ing expense for the use of the in
struments. Private lessons are
SI.OO each.
The following students are plan
ning to play instruments in the
band —orchestra: Arlene Phillips,
flute; Bessie Townsend, clarinet;
Virginia Douglas, piano; Jimmie
Key, C melody saxophone; Tyre
Hogan, bugle; C. D. Bailey, trom
bone; Thelma Wilhoite, violin;
Dick Grace, trumpet; Minelle Gib
son, snare drums; Aaron Bucka
lew, trombone.
There are several students who
have expressed their interest and
will probably join the group later.
There are also several more school
instruments not in use.
The Orchestra will learn the
“Merry Widow Waltz” for it’s first
piece. There is a possibility that
it may even become the theme
song.
Mr. White has expressed his
desire for more enthusiasm on the
part of those interested. He feels
it is the one thing that will put
this affair over.
Surely it has been noticed that
this is the largest issue of THE
WEST GEORGIAN this term. The
editors are always striving to put
out a better GEORGIAN and hope
this eight page edition meets your
approval.

traces the life story of 110 village

through another, or third, phase of
their development and history.
This is the third time these cen
ters have been studied under the
same director.
The report opens with a sum

adjustments of agriculture from
1930 to 1935 as shown by the fol
lowing an analysis of changes in po
pulation and in communities as
such and in the relations of village
to country. Next are shown the
changes in institutions such as
those of trade, industry, banking,
education, religion and social life.
Finally, consideration is given to
the question of relief, a phenome
non previously almost non-existent
in these communities.

that it represents the field work
that is being done by competent
investigators.
