Plans Being Made
For Religious
Emphasis Week
The V.R.A. Council has announced
that plans are being made for the
annual Religious Emphasis Week to
be held this year, the first week of
May. I <!•
Speakers have not been difinitely
decided upon but as usual they will
be persons well-known in the religi

as festive occasion as in the previous
years because of the ban on pleasure
riding, but it is hoped the spirit of
West Georgia will remain as warm
as ever. Everyone is urged to take
part on any program when asked.

are sorry to report the loss of its
capable program chairman, Quinton

DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTEREST OF WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE
DR. GUY WEELS
DR. WELLS SPEAKS
TO STUDENT BODY
“Character is the thing we need
today” states Doctor Guy Wells,
president of G.S.C.W., in his address
to the students Tuesday, February 23.
Doctor Wells chose George Wash
ington and his significance to us as
his subject, since it was so close to
Washington’s birthday. Dr. Wells
stressed the fact that Washington
did not have very much education,
only what he could get for himself,
but had dogged persistence; he nev
er gave up. He was not a statesman,
nor a great thinker, but had great
character. Character is what we need
today.
Dr. Wells listed the things that
make a character significant. Per
sonal integrity; must have some so
cially significant job; work for the
welfare of others as well as for self.
Belief that we live in a moral uni
verse; and above all, belief in God.
God is behind everything.
Did you know that the Teddy Bear
Junior got for Christmas was named
after President Theodore (Teddy)
Roosevelt, and that more Teddy
Bears have been sold in America
than any other toy?

STAMPS
By Marjorie Bullock
The audience is tense; the over
ture begins; the curtains rise; but
where are the actors? Oh, they’re
back-stage learning their parts.
The “Foot Light Flames” are be
ginning their dramatic careers this
week by presenting “Curse You, Jack
Dalton” and “Western Union, Please”.
“Curse You, Jack Dalton” was
presented Tuesday, March 2, at
drama in one act. Like most plays
based on the 12 year old mentality
level, there is a villain, excellent por
trayed by Merrill Wade. Then there
is a heroine, shy and naive, which
Helen Yarbrough enacts. The hand
some, young hero is none other than
our own Larry Cauthen. He defies
his mother (portrayed by Nan Fos
ter) and marries Helen. Of course
there is dirty work going on between
the villain and a gold-digger, Neysa
Mosley, who is also in love with
Jack. Finally the heroine’s brother
rushes in and saves the day, and
they all live happily ever after.
“Western Union, Please” will have
its premier at Sand Hill, Tuesday
evening, March 2. It is a three-act
comedy full of laughts for everyone.
The story tells of Danny Daley, ex
cellently portrayed by Pee Wee Lang,
and his desire to make a million dol-
lars without exerting any energy. As
the play begins Danny has been gone
for 10 years. His wife had given him
10 cents to buy a loaf of bread and
he hasn’t been seen since. Jenny,
his wife, is enacted by Virginia Hem
phill. She has had him declared
dead so she can sell the house. There
is a big memorial service being given
for him that night, and Danny re
turns. After a lot of comical reac
tions he accept the idea that h$ has
been “murdered”, and sends her to
his funeral. He intends to go back
to New York, but stays and gets Jen
ny out of the really entanglement
that she has gotten herself into. He
also helps his daughter, portrayed by
Sara Davenport, get her man, Jack
Phillips. As the curtain falls, Danny
and Jenny are on, their way to the
City Hall to be re-married.
After a one night opening at Sand
Hill, the play will be presented to
the students, Friday night, March 5;
and from there —maybe Broadway—
who knows?
