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.

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 stry laboratory. Only a few burnt Mrs. L. E. Roberts 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. -T-hoy -ware?

The next meeting will be held on the third Wednesday in Febru ary at which time Elizabeth New some will be in charge of the pro gram. 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 (Continued on Page 4) SEND THE WEST GEORGIAN HOME NUMBER EIGHT Social Science Club Sponsors First United Campus Club Program West Georgia had its first “Club Nite,” January 13, in the college auditorium under the direction of Zeta Sigma Pi.
