Is it really true that John Folger

ing. Just go by the Varsity some
time and catch him at it.
Why do Pee Wee, John Folger

think Pee Wee is leading by at
least a head.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
Workshop Aids
Teachers With
Their Problems
For the second time In its his
tory, West Georgia College is con
ducting a Workshop for the teach
ers of Carroll and adjoining coun
ties.
The group is composed of thirty
one members who spend two hours
each morning observing at the
practice school which is held at
Tallapoosa. Two days a week the
group meets together to discuss
the observed work and other prob
lems that come up in and about
their schools. On remaining days
the members divide into special in
terest groups which include shop
work, supervised by Dr. Folger
and Miss Tietje. Art is taught by
Mr. Shannon; music by Miss Wood
ruff; health by Mr. Hart; prom
lems of school equipment and room
arrangement by Miss Downs, re
creation by Mr. Bonner, and Mr.
Yeomans.
Last week the group went to
observe at the University Demon
stration School. Plans for trips to
Emory and Holtville, Alabama,
have also been discussed.
The purpose of the workshop is
to help teachers work out the prob
lems which they face from time
to time. The opportunities open
to the teachers include instruc
tions in art, music, and health,
voice recording, use of the work
shop, Materials Bureau, College
Library, Tallapoosa School and
Trips and Gymnasium.
Several teachers, - were asked to
give their opinion of the work
shop. One person said that it was
one of the biggest helps she could
think of to the schools of Carroll
County and that it had helped her
solve her most urgent problems.
Mary Hugie stated that it had
taught her more things than she
could put to practical use the next
year. Alice Rowland said the work
shop helped in giving ideas for her
next school term. Mrs. Wilson
said that it was the first time she
had ever gone to school and really
done the things she wanted to
do most.
Once a week the group has a
moving picture which illustrates
some phase of education. Follow
ing the picture, Mr. Wale meets
with the teachers and discusses
the uses of films in the county
schools.
Part of the time Mr. Carson,
the principal of Tallapoosa school
and his assistants, Miss Clonts,
Miss Pennington, and Miss Chafin,
meets with the work shop. They
answer any questions about the
teaching that was observed at
Tallapoosa School. One of the first
things the people of the work shop
did was to get the Tallapoosa
School ready for the opening day.
The group plans to have Miss
Taylor from the State Department
of Health meet with them July 11.
Cornell students who drive cars
must take out insurance against
public liability for property dam
age and personal injury effective
July 1.
The University of California ex
tension division has inaugurated
a course in television production
and acting.
After a long controversy on con
tinuance of sororities at the Univer
sity of Rochester, second-term
freshman rushing has been adopt
ed.
St. Mary’s of Texas has an or
ganization for Spanish-speaking
students, called the Circulo Ibero
americano.
Dean’s List
Shows Gain
The ean’s list for the Spring
quarter of 1940-41 shows an in
crease over the previous quarter of
eleven, the number of students
making this list rising from thirty
eight to forty-nine. This termi
nates a period of declining scholar
ship at West Georgia College which
prevailed during the Winter and
Fall quarters. The faculty should
be delighted to learn this improve
ment and the West Georgian hopes
that this trend will prevail.
The Dean’s list is made up of
“The Cream of the Crop” and it’s
members are to be commended for
their good work. This group has
shown that it pays to observe the
rules and regulations and to place
academic interests in the forefront
of college activities. There is no
better recommendation a college
can give than to be able to say, “He
made the Dean’s List.” Those who
made the select group the Spring
quarter of 1940-41, who made an
average of 87 or over, are given
elsewhere in these columns.
