West Georgia Swamped By Wives!!
Idolizing Co'Eds Lose Hope As The “Better Halves”
Of Popular Professors Arrive On Campus Here
By Sara Sewell
Of course we are always hav
ing new events on our campus,
but the latest thing of interest
is the advent of so many new
wives. We think they are a great
asset to our campus, for after all
we do want the “better halves” of
our professors to be close at hand.
It was quite interesting to talk
with the husbands and wives.
We are glad that all of them are
favorably impressed with Genola.
Mrs. Bonner isn’t so new to us
any more, for in the short time
since Thanksgiving she has be
come an integral part of our insti
tution. Mrs. Bonner is an attrac
tive brunette, slight of stature,
with a most interesting person
ality. She is a sister to Mrs. In
gram and their former home is
Columbus, Georgia. Mrs. Bonner
was not available; so Mr. Bonner
had to give us a few of her fine
points. She is a graduate of Ran
dolph Macon in Lynchburg, Vir
ginia, and also the Carnagie Li
brary School. At the completion
of her education in these insti
tutions, she accepted a position in
the Emory University Library
w r here she was at the time of
her marriage. We have learned
to love Mrs. Bonner and we want
her to feel at home on our campus.

43 New Students
Are Enrolled For
Winter Quarter
With the beginning of the new
quarter, West Georgia’s enrollment
has been enriched by the addition
of several new students includ
ing those on the N. Y. A. project.
The new regular students all ar
rived on January 3 and are for
the most part transfers from the
other colleges. The N. Y. A. stu
dents came on January 15, to
take part in a special course that
the National Youth Administration
has installed here at West Georgia.
The new regular students are:
Mary Baxter, Josephine Burson,
Raymond Croft, Horan Cook,
James Dailey, Ethel Harman, Tra
vis Jackson, Dalton Scott, Oda Tho
mas, Pelham Staples, J. P. Mc-

zier. At last the person whom
we looked forward to seeing so
much has arrived. On account
of unfortunate illness soon after
she came, we haven’t been able
to get acquainted, but the little
while we have known her makes
us sure that Mr. Strozier is a
very lucky man. Mrs. Strozier is
a westerner from Denver, Colo
rado. She received her education
at Ward Belmont College, the U.
of Colorado and the U. of Chicago.
While at the U. of Chicago it
seems that Bob happened along
and Dan Cupid was close at hand.
Mrs. Strozier is a lovely blond, and
she has a great charm in her per
sonality. Before her marriage,
Mrs. Strozier was a medical social
worker. She expressed tne fact
to the interviewer that her work
was rather hard to explain, but it
was learned that she lias been in
a Chicago hospital and also the
U. of Colorado hospital. Although
Mrs. Strozier is a long way from
her home state we hope that she
will soon adopt Georgia, for we
at Genola have already adopted
her.
Wednesday brought our third
arrival in an automobile literally
loaded w'ith bags. When Mr. Te
beau went out to greet his wife,
who was the new-comer, a slight
explosion happened in the chemi

Recent Speaker
Before Ciceronians
Speaking before the Ciceronian
Literary Society at its last meet
ing on Wednesday night, January
19, Mrs. L. E. Roberts told the
Club some of her experiences
while visiting England in the
Shakespeare county. Rachel Hunt,
the president of the Club, presided
over the meting and Nell Clegg,
program chairman, introduced the
speaker.
Mrs. Roberts spoke at some
length of the English customs and
of the peculiarities of Parliament.
Making the trip in order to give
Mr. Roberts an opportunity to
study English history from the
original records, Mrs. Roberts was
left with a great deal of leisure
time to study English people and
peculiarities. These she related
to the Club in her most interesting
talk.
Taken in at an extra call meet
ing the next day five students
were extended bids to the organi
zation because of high scholastic
standing and artistic appreciation.

fingers were received which were
worth the price in order to bring
Mrs. Tebeau in with a bang. As
yet we don’t know her very well;
so we had to interview Mr. Tebeau.
Mrs. Tebeau is a native of Camilla,
Georgia. She received her degree
at G. S. W. C., Valdosta and grad
uated from the Athens Business
College. She has taught school,
but recently she has been secre
tary to the U. of Georgia Alumni
Secretary. Now Mrs. Tebeau has
arrived at West Georgia to make
her home with Mrs. Dial on Maple
Street. To conclude, Mr. Tebeau
said that he knew very little about
his wife, but she is a Baptist and
welcomes all her new friends.
Welcome to you, Mrs. Tebeau!
Mr. Brown was all smiles when
questioned. “She’s coming Sun
day,” said he. And, what a nice
person he did describe! Well,
Sunday came, and we found Mr.
Brown didn’t tell us half he should.
Mrs. Brown’s former home is in
Washington. Ah, another West
erner! She has attended Washing
ton State University, Columbia,
and has studied costume design
ing in Paris. Only recently she
has been connected at St. Joseph
College in Hartford, Connecticut.
She is also a decorator, and has
won praise from the New York
