Overheard expressions such as
“extra studying/' “splints," “square
knots," “artificial respiration" come
from those girls who are studying of
First Aid. All girls in the physical
education classes who have not al
ready obtained a Standard First Aid
Certificate are divided into three
classes which are taught by Mr.
Adams, Mrs. Adams, and Reathal
Smith. Approximately 75 girls are
taking this work.
Dribble, dribble, pass; dribble,
dribble, pass! It is a cry such as this
that has been echoing from the ath
letic field. Yes, the girls are trapping,
dribbling and passing the ball around
getting ready for the big Freshman-
Sophomore Soccer Tournament which
is to start November 11. It’s lots
of fun, especially since the weather
man has decided to give us that long
hoped-for cold, crispy air which
makes us want to run just a little
harder for our class.
For you who have never had any
experience with a real pep meeting,
I would like to tell you this—the one
on November 10, which precedes the
Soccer Tournament, is an opportu
nity you have to yell as loudly as
you please with no interference from
your teachers, roommates, or neigh
bors.
Judges for the big event will be
Mr. Gunn, Dr. Smith, and Miss
Ward, who will take into considera
tion the class ability to display orig
inality, pep, class spirit, good sports
manship, and enthusiasm. Adding to
the fun will be the bonfire that will
be burning for both teams.
The pep should not, however, end
then, but continue throughout the
Soccer season. Each class is expect
ed to support its team to the limit
during the Soccer tournament and all
other intramural games of the year.

The freshmen have contributed
their representatives to the W A A
Council by electing Mary Ruth
Camp, treasurer and Elizabeth West
brook, vice-president.

The 8:30 Fire Fighters and the
9:25 Invincibles fought to a tie, 2-2,
Wednesday in the class soccer tour
nament. The Fire Fighters are Dot
Tanner, Frances Harris, Vera Rich
ardson, Edith Williams, Anne Payne,

les, are Lucy Cantrell, Frances Col
lins, Betty Jim Owings, Sarah Hens
ley, Sara Colquitt, Anna Farris,

Ruth Davis.
Much to the surprise of the soccer
fans, Wednesday afternoon the 12:10
“Sissies" defeated the 1:45 “Mara
thons”, 8-2.
Thursday afternoon the 9:25 “In
vincibles" defeated the 8:30 “Fire-
Fighters" in a hotly contested bat
tle which ended in the score 6-0.
These class intramurals are pro
ceeding the Freshman-Sophomore
tournament which is to start Wed
nesday afternoon, November 11, at
4:00 o’clock. Two games out of three
jyill determine the winners. The high
lights of this tournament will be the
placing of the ball in the center of
the field for the kick-off the open
ing day by President I. S. Ingram.

In closing let me say, that we all
that you all would pull your
?<p S y°ur waist lines and smile!
t-ause, you know—Smile and the
Wor ld smiles with you—frown and
rou frown alone." That isn’t the way
1l Bocs—but it all amounts up to the
thing. Try it now!
WEST GEORGIA’S
MAIN BUILDING
DATES FROM 1906
A recent addition to the college
dining hall, costing approximately
five thousand dollars, gives West
Georgia one of the most modern and
best equipped dining establishments
in the University System. The new
annex houses the kitchen proper,
which is separated from the main din
ing room.
Eight brick buildings now comprise
West Georgia’s physical plant, four
of which have been erected since the
transformation of the Fourth District
A & M school into a junior college
ten years ago. At that time the Aca
demic building, Melson, Adamson
and Aycock Halls were the only
buildings on the campus built of
brick. The Sanford Library, Mande
ville Hall, the Rural Life Arts build
ing, and the Dining Hall-Gymnasium
have since been erected.
West Georgia’s buildings have been
named for prominent citizens identi
fied with the institution’s growth and
development. John Holland Melson
was the first principal of the A & M
school, established in 1906. Charles
Adamson was Congressman from the
Fourth District who contributed
greatly to the institution’s early life
and career. The Mandeville and the
Aycock families, both still prominent
in Carroll County, were early identi
fied with the school as members of
the Board of Trustees, patrons, and
later as students. Several members
of these families have recently gra
duated from the college.
The wife of President Ingram has
been identified with the institution
longer than any other person now
living on the campus. Her father,
Judge George P. Munro was the
first Chairman of the Board of Trus
tees in 1906. Mrs. Ingram came here
to teach English in the fall of 1919.
The following year Mr. Ingram suc
ceeded Mr. J. H. Melson as principal
of the school.
Cotton Forum
Held At Chapel
An interesting sequel to West
Georgia’s cotton harvesting experience
was a forum held in the college audi
torium on Friday, October 30 on
“Problems of the Cotton Farmer.’
Dean Folger, Professors Bonner and
Roberts, Sara Colquitt, Lanelle Gran
geer and Doris Jones participated in
the discussion.
It was pointed out that cotton
farmer’s main problem was in the
harvesting of the crop. In the past
the farmer’s family has been the
source of this labor. The implications
of a cotton-picking machine to South
ern agriculture were discussed, em
phasizing the economic dislocations
in the Southeastern Cotton Belt by
a more highly mechanized agriculture
tin the Texas and Oklahoma region.
Cotton prices were discussed in
comparison to prices of the finished
product. In a “shirt weighing experi
ment” Prof. Bonner showed that the
farmer received ten cents for the cot
ton that went into an average shirt
which weighs 8 ounces, while the re
tailer received as much as two dollars
for it. Mr. Bonner and Mr. Folger
took opposite views upon these
cations to the cotton farmer. Mr.
Bonner insisted that the farmer s
economic salvation lies in putting
more skill and processing into his
production, that he should not be
content with merely producing raw
materials but should invade the field
of the processor.
Mr. Folger insisted that better re
presentation of the farmers in our
legislature would adequately solve
his problems of low income.

Road To Victory
By Jane Tompkins
It may seem like a far cry from
racoons, beavers, snowsboe rabbits,
polar bears, musk-oxen, and pen
guins (which is what I have been
writing about during the past few
years) to the subject of War Bonds
and Stamps; but, when you stop to
think about it, the two are kindred.
For just as racoons and other crea
tures of the wild yearn for freedom
and security, so do human beings feel
that life without freedom and secur
ity is an unhappy existence.
The price of freedom is high, but
no price is too high. That is why we
are now engaged in a war that must
end in Victory. It is a people war.
That means you, and me, and all
those near and dear to us. It means
the children in school, the teacher,
the grocer on Main Street, the boy
who lives around the corner. For
there is some way in which every
single one of us—men, women, and
children—can help to win. Each of us
can do his share. And one way of
sharing the burden is this: Buy War
Stamps. Buy War Bonds. Keep on
buying them, even if it means sacri
fice. For only by the sacrifice on the
part of all Americans can we hope
to win the Victory that will keep us
free from oppression, and will free
those who are now enslaved. So
don’t forget, Buy Stamps, Buy
, Bonds. Do your share on the home
front while our men are doing their
share on land and sea and in the
air! Keep America Free —Keep Ame
rica Strong — Let's all pull together
for VICTORY!
