ALTON HPAItKS, PreNldrnl of The FreHhinan < lumm
Alton Sparks, the beau brummel
of Carrollton (and West Georgia)
was born April 0, 1918 in the same
fair city of Carrollton. Knowing
a good town when he saw it, h *
has remained there all of his nine
teen years.
Grammar school and high school
proved to he uneventful to him.
It wasn’t until 1937 when he enter
ed West Georgia that his wheel of
life really began rotating. Sparks
started flying in all directions,
usually ending up with a gallant
knight.
His favorite teacher is “absolu
tely” Mr. Hart, because of his
method of teaching, his general
attitude and “Oh, well on account
of he passed one,” spoke are swim
ming and riding and does them
both well, from all outside com
ments. His favorite and most in
tense dislike is someone Who is
a hypocrite. Alton has two words,
or expressions that have became a
continued part of him and they
are ‘all the time” and absolutely.”
Nancy Knight at this point com
mented that they both nearly drive
her crazy.
One of the main factors in this
interview was the bubbling enthu
siasm he has for West Georgia. He
is crazy about it and intends to
finish up here next year. Alton

Skating Fad
Conquers Campus
Fads are very popular with
college students, and West Georgia
is no exception. Just now, skating
has taken our Campus by storm.
Instead of the Suzy Q. and truck
ing, one now must be a skating
wizard and do the figure 8. it
happens every year, and every
year same story repeats itself.
There are bumps that bring bawls,
and trip-ups that bring folks.
Tears and fears and beginners be
ginning prevail. Gilberto seems to
be generally accepted as the un
crowned champion, with that lit
tlest Bowen gal coming in close
as championess.
As some bitter must come with
all sweets, there are rules govern
ing skating on the highway. Girls
who love to take chances, and go
in circles, stand a good chance of
being restricted if they are caught.
Skating, as a general rule on the
campus is good clean fun, and is
the only legitimate reason for
hand holding.
And, by the way, the latest con
vert to this fad is none other than
Sara Ward, mother of the Co-ed
“chickens.”
N. Y. A. Progressing
Under Howell
Mr. M. E. Howell announced re
cently many plans are now under
way for the N. Y. A. projects.
Schedules have been arranged so
that each student may take two
subjects. Most of the girls are
taking Home Economics and Rural
Life. The boys are taking any
two of these; English, Vocational
Guidance, or Rural Life.
The boys are going to engage
in various projects for 3 or 4
hours daily. Among their pro
jects is one for Campus beautifi
cation. In this they will build
rock walls and fix up the Campus
and also do carpentry work.
Girls will learn how to prepare
meals, serve tables, and other duti
es of cooking and sewing. Some
are doing office work for faculty
members. The girls will also do
tasks in order to add to the at
traction of their rooms.
to enter in on a five year course
in architecture. It seems as if
that is all he really cares about,
for instead of being a “ o filler"
or “pencil Jiggler” he is always
drawing or sketching houses.
He really has no particular de
scription of what his ideal girl
should be like, not even favoring
the customary blond. His only
ideas are that they should be a
good sport —not too thin (in other
words curves in the right place)
and absolutely not to be moody.
He wants his girl to be intelligent
and yet be able to “cut up” and
act crazy at the right time; to be
able to sit down and talk correctly
about current topics and the intua
tions between the different coun
tries!
His pleasing smile and southern
hospitality is well known to us
all for he has worked at our re
creational center (the show) for
the past four years. Incidentaly
he approves of the balcony but
not as a place to see the picture.
Although he has a decided mark
of the thing that enemies call
conceit and friends speak of as
mere self-pride, he is still well
liked on the campus. He has al
ready developed affiliations with
another freshman (a girl) on the
campus, but other girls seem to
still consider him as eligible.

North Georgia
Defeats Braves
By Eleven Points
In a hard fought game Thurs
day, January 21, a fast West Geor
gia team was defeated by the
North Georgia Cadets by the score
of 19-38.
Altogether the game was much
closer than the score shows. In
the first half it was nip and tuck
between the two teams with the
long shots of Dahlonega making
up for the scores made by the
local team. At the half the score
was 19-23 with the Cadets in the
lead.
Beginning after the half the
Cadets began to put on the pres
sure and steadily drew away from
the fighting Braves. For a mo
ment with the substitution of Goss
and two subsequent goals, it seem
ed as though the Braves might
close up the gap, but the game
ended with the Cadets in the lead.
High point man for the game
was Ash of the Cadets with 19
points. Bell of West Georgia
came second with a total of 14
points.
The line-ups were:
West Ga. Dahlonega
Luck (2) F (6) Taylor
Grace (9) F (19) Ash
Bell (14) C (6) Pafford
Scott (2) G (11) Bridges
Buckalew (5) G (2) Panter
Substitutes: West Georgia, Grif
fin, Goss (6). Dahlonega: Bell, (1),
Dewees, Dally (4), Davis.
Referee: Watkins.
