Physical Exams
More Vigorous
Students spent a large portion
of last week taking physical
exams. These exams were given
by five medical students from Au
gusta, who were on the campus
from Tuesday through Thursday.
The physical exam this year, in
sharp contrast to past years, was
much more complete. The exam
included the conventional exami
nations of eyes, ears, nose and
throat, and adde'd were blood and
Wasserman tests.
Out of the student enrollment,
41 (i students were given the tho
rough physical examination.
According to a statement by
Mr. Taylor, “The physical exams
should prove of great importance
to all students, as they will give
students opportunities to correct
any and all physical defects that
they might have."

Touring Gritland With Uncle ‘Bob’
By MINKhIiK GIBBGN
Sophomores can remember fan’
Freshmen have been here long
enuff to pray for a time when it
will be a memory) that time when
there was a clang, a last m inn it
survey in that “Gossy" mirrow,
and a dash for grits! Or if you
were wise enuff to sleep thro’ that
time (for hipsake) you do recall
at noon, diving expectantly into
a divine-lookin’ dish to discover
that its superficial, misquiding, in
cognition had led yiu trustingly
and unsuspectingly into gritland
again! To be technically correct,
that nourishment is to Mr. Web
ster, “rough hard particles of sand
composed of sharp silicious grain.
Maybe its the siliciousness we dis
enjoy.

Over Active Students To
Be ’Purged’ By Honor
Point System Enforcement
THE WEST GEORGIAN
As curious peoples will behave,
a group of stupids (typographical
error —students) went down to see
not only how such quantities of
the stuff could be concocted out
also and chiefly how it could be
indefinitely preserved! Soon after
arriving, however, they had for
gotten grittery and were deep in
the attempt of analizing a more
important feature of that region—
Uncle Bob!
They found that he has been
here possibly longer than the grits
—since 1915! Lessee thas’ about
23 years (an’ we gripe about 2!)
He finds grits “tole’able well,”
but pastry is his favorite. He’s
a good man (who let Woodfin
back?) An’ the remarkable part
is that he’s never thought of a
profession other than cooking and
what’s more he’s absolutely satis
fied to stay at W. G. C. “forever
more!" He makes his own recipes
and has always done so.
Back about 25 years the Virginia
Hotel in Atlanta was preparing
him for the outstanding career
which was to crystallize in the
near future. Responsibile for this
crystallization was one Mr. Melton
who was the superintendent of the
A & M institute here.
The girls did a little oh-ing and
ah-ing when he said girls were
less trouble than boys, “cause
when boys do give trouble its
heavy trouble.” "Uncle Bob” is
Dad to a daughter and two sons
working in Atlanta and on trains.
Speaking of the younter genera
tion, Uncle Bob sdys this one is
the best; at least, he says he gets
along with them better’n ever.
They’re all right, he states, ’cept
[ Sophomore students who have
taken an usually active part in
extra-curricular activities are sub
ject to the “purge” of the Activi
ties Committee of the faculty. Any
sophomore student having over
twelve honor points must resign
from enough clubs to lower the
total to the maximum amount
allowed, according to the new
ruling.
An honor points system has
been in the Student Handbook
for a number of years, but it has
not been enforced. The purpose
of these honor points is two-fold:
to recognize merit, and to enable
a greater number of students to
engage in the extra-curricular
activities.
A member of the Activities Com
mittee made it known that the
amount of honor points for cer
tain positions has been reduced.
Sophomores are allow r ed a maxi
mum of twelve honor points;
freshmen are allowed a maximum
of ten honor points.

it pretty bad when they’re always
bad and never thinking of chang
ing. His interest in us chickens
(maybe Nick got in with Woodfin)
gave him a right to warn against
these airplanes. “Some machines
like my big mixer are 0. K. but
not airplanes." One of the boys
promptly offered to give him a
ride in said contraption if he
would accepty, but Uncle Bob
was firm in his declaration. “I
ain’ never goin’ any higher den I
