TEACHERS
IN THE RUFF
By ELIZABETH FOLSOM
Since most of the readers of this
paper do not know much • about the
third year students, this column of
words will try to make you more
familiar with them and their activi
ties.
The Junior Girls and One Boy
The third year group picked cotton
like all the rest of this college body
but when the farmer’s brother count
ed the workers, he said: “All these
girls and just one boy!’’ The boy
was Mr. Giles, the new faculty ad
visor of the third year lassies (well,
we are lassies ‘cause there’s not a
single man taking the course!’)
The Junior class is composed of
seventeen girls, seven of which are
teaching this quarter in the Sand
Hill, Tallapoosa, and McGiboney
Schools. These girls are: Clovis Pope,
Sue Williams, Merrel Traylor, Elsie
Gosdin, Louise Land, Eleanor Snow,
La Verne Floyd. Juniors on the cam
pus are Lois Miller, Dorothy and
DABS O' DIRT
This is your new communique from
the inditer, THE GAD ABOUT, in
the first edition of THE WEST
GEORGIAN. ‘Giving all a hearty
welcome! ! And saying—Here’s to
all that your SUPER DUPER is
acquainted with—just gobs of gab
and giggles and guys and gals. So
go out and seek your fun and remem
ber love is where you find it AND
it does make the world go ’round.
********
The first on the list is our little
Hamptonie, Coralice Fears, who finds
that D. C. Parish is A number 1. . . .
FRESHMAN Richards, so I’ve been
told, has dedicated “HAVING A
LONELY TIME, WISH YOU
WERE HERE” to his last year’s
flame. . . . Love may be blind —but
we AINT. We saw how happy Jerry
Hill and John Folger were last week
end.
********
To the successful little Brunette,
Martha Hunt, hats off— may we
congratulate her on being the first
to receive a written epistle from T-Y!
. . . Note to John Evans: Please take
the hint —there is a cute blonde who
thinks you are tops. I’ve given you
the clue, now it’s up to ya’ . . . Some
give flattery —others give roses. Vir
ginia Hemphill’s admirer sent Mrs.
Abbott “ONE DOZEN ROSES.” He
really must be a wonderful person to
know, eh Virginia??
********
To the COTTON QUEEN AND
KING: Christine and Fred—Congra
tulations! . . . Willis Hurst (remem
ber folks?) has taken quite an in
terest in Sara Baker.
********
Quiet a few Co-Eds struck up ac
quaintances in the Cotton Patches
Wednesday, but to date these people
have not made this fact public. . . .
********
Robert Rainer, a transfer student
tit? 1 Emor y> has ’fessed his love to
Rh DDY with a ring for THIRD
FINGER—LEFT HAND. Here’s to
happiness ahead!
********
W hy worry? Today is the tomorrow
-° u worried about yesterday. You
walk around the corner and bump
la to tomorrow, so come on BOYS,
these girls a break for THE
°morrows which are to come!
********
,j n the meantime your gad about
f 1 keep her eyes and ears open. So
a PPy sailing for all—until the next
i-sue go i otl g f or
Doris Jones, Saralyn Griffies, Cheston
Cline, Hughie Majors, Betty Fears,
Carolyn Banks, Annette Maynard,
and Elizabeth Folsom.
Paint Spot Parade
As their first big project they de
cided to re-paint, re-furnish and re
arrange their room in the adminis
tration building. Committees were
appointed to decide a plan for the
room. Results: paint and more paint;
new curtains; division of room into
office, library corner, and class room;
girls use hammer, saw and paint brush
for the first time.
Journeys of Interest
Before the college classes had be
gun, the Juniors were busy visiting
the communities where a large part of
their training in the third year course
would take place. They have been
to the McGibboney School where
they observed a day of cleaning. They
have helped move canned goods from
Tallapoosa school to the college cam
pus for use at the McGiboney school
lunchroom. One day they visited the
Burwell School and were shown the
school garden, building, and the be
ginning of the new lunchroom. Also,
while there they visited the Garrett
Cotton Gin and the community store.
After several meetings of the class a
committee went to Atlanta to buy
materials for the decorating of their
room. On this they visited the Capi
tal, Highway Department and several
other places of interest.
Health Check-ups
When the doctors were here to
give examinations, the Juniors help
ed make records charts for each child
at McGibboney and Sand Hill
Schools, and assisted the doctors in
giving the examinations.
Seminar
Every Monday night the Junior
class, Mr. Giles, and other members
of the faculty meet and discuss the
progress made, problems, and future
plans for this group. At this meet
ing students as well as faculty, fc
free to suggest new ideas or discuss
any issue brought up.
HERE'S A GOOD IDEA
Bellefontaine, Ohio.—Members of
the graduating class of the Bellefon
taine high school voted to devote
the $450 in the class treasury to War
Bonds purchases, and to redeem the
; bonds for funds for a suitable war
memorial after the war has ended.

THE WEST GEORGIAN
W. A. A. SPORT-O-SCOPE
By SARA COLQUITT
The Woman’s Athletic Association
enters its second year at West Geor
gia College led by Martha Bullock
with Edna Nix as the newly elected
Vice-President and Sarah Hensley as
Recorder. The Secretary and the
Treasurer are yet to be chosen from
the freshman class.
With the purpose of providing
activities in which every girl may find
some sport in which she will enjoy
participating, the WAA is offering
the following clubs for the fall quart
er: soccer, archery, folk dance, social
dance, modern dance, tennis, and
hiking, and outing.
Soccer practice for the class tourna
ment is getting under way, and the
freshmen are anticipating this first
opportunity to avenge the sopho
mores for the parade and other forms
of initiation, while the sophomores,
who were the victorious freshmen
team last year, are scheming to keep
the upper hand of their under class
men.
Folk dancing, to be one of the main
features of the year, will be directed
jointly by Miss Ruth Sturgis and
Mr. Ed Yoeman, the latter having
travelled in European nations study
ing dances which are typical of each
country. y
To foster enthusiasm and school
spirit a girl’s drill team of approxi
mately 36 girls chosen on merits of
posture will soon be organized. This
team will march before and during
games and compaigns.
Officers of the WAA and “W” club
have formed a recreation council for
the campus and will entertain the
student body at a social once each
month ,their first was the cotton ball.
