Rural Arts Workshop Proves
Most Popular Classroom
Of Summer School Session
The Rural Arts Workshop this
summer has had the appearance of
Santa Claus’ workshop just before
Christmas.
There are approximately 45 stu
dents taking workshop of which a
few are not even registered for the
course, but go in and work just be-
cause they like it. The purpose of the
course is to equip teachers in handi
craft for more useful service in their
schools. Among some of the things
the students are making are trays,
fruit baskets, picture frames, what
nots, magazine stands, book ends, toy
animals, lamps, tables, chairs, check
er boards, dolls, pottery, and differ
ent colored paints out of Georgia
clay. Those students are allowed to
keep the things they make provided
they will pay for the material used.
Miss Frances Pressler, Professor in
Arts and Crafts, declared: “I have no
trouble in handling cuts in the Dean’s
office. The students all have over
time.” \
Dean Folger stated that the sum
mer workshop had been quite suc
cessful. Problems concerning every
day activity in the school room were
mentioned and many helpful solu
tions offered by the teaching students
of the workshop. The Tallapoosa
school aided the program.

Genola, watched in amazement as a
battalion of around thirty bicycles

Shortage Of Waitresses
To Be Remedied At Once
The dining hall can be assured of
more waitresses and better service in
the next few days according to Miss
Ruth Crawford, dietician.
Operating under a service shortage
of waitresses due to the dissolving of
N. Y. A. non-defense aid, the dining
hall has managed to continue to give
West Georgia students good service
at meals.
Fifty-five waitresses were dropped
from Residential N. Y. A. when the
N. Y. A. vocational cut went into
effect July 1.
Immediately college N. Y. A. was
established in the dinnig hall offer
ing many high school graduate girls
an opportunity to secure an educa
tion by signing up as a waitress.
Under the new set-up a waitress earns
$o per week, $4 of which is applied
on college expenses. The college at
present employs 14 students in the
dining hall, 2 of which are boys.
All other forms of non-defense
work on the campus was hard hit as
the new order went into effect. All
clerical workers and farm workers
were dropped, the latter being trans
ferred to defense work as main
tenance.

Student-Teacher Evidence
Interest In Nutririon Course
“I am glad that teachers realize the
importance of the place of nutrition
in their teaching as well as in every
day life,” declared Miss Ruby Jen
kins, head of the Home Economics
department.
Ten students were registered for the
Nutrition class this quarter of which
all except one are teachers. The
course has been constructed around
the problems and needs of the teach
ers, and Miss Jenkins has made the
course as practical as possible in every
way. The Home Economic students
have learned the nutritive values of
foods and the ways to prepare them.
At no time should there be more
emphasis placed on the importance
of nutrition than now in this war. It
is the duty of every individual to
keep healthy so that he may keep
active both physically and mentally.
Courses such as the one taught by
Miss Jenkins this quarter are import
ant steps to victory.

West Georgia is certainly a strange
place. We even heard one boy moan
ing because, after assuring his parents
that he had flunked chemistry and
had to come back, he found that he
hadn’t flunked after all. And just
why did you want to come back,
BROWN? The romantic ROWES
aren’t at work again, are they ? ?
Hallowe’en is early this year. At
least it seems that way when the
esteemed professors at Tallai>oosa go
up and down the hall of the dorm,
with MILK MASKS on their faces!
Guaranteed to make you beautiful in
one application. Don’t rush!—the line
forms to the right.
It was quite a surprise to everyone
at West Georgia when they found out
that GAY ROWE could build furni
ture for a home as well as teach
school! Oh VIRGINIA—are those
bells I hear in the distance?
We heard JERRY HILL trying to
call Emory University the other
night.. What’s wroug JERRY, not
lonesome are you?
The POST OFFICE has a double
feature! The boys now get a “come
hither smile” with their mail—Oh,
for bigger and better letters!
Surprise of the month—The great
Romeo RALPH TYSON, true to his
Juliet MARTHA STRIPLIN. And I
always thought that saying, “Out of
sight, out of mind” was true!
Sad sight of the month—the theatre
balconies in the afternoon t Where is
everybody?
The next time KATE STRAIN
comes to W. G. C. she is going to
bring her own silverware. To quote
MISS STRAIN—“When I went to
Shorter —” But no, we have to stop
there, ’cause we can’t quite remem
ber which story that was!
We wonder why EUNICE WES
SINGER always looks sad when they
play the Marine Hymn. Is he hand
some in a uniform, EUNICE?
LOST—Somewhere in Art Class —
a whole room full of dignity. AUG
USTA, just why did you have your
shoes off and your toe wrapped up?
