Hiking Club
Goes Back
To Nature
The hiking club went back to na
ture, Friday evening, February 26th
and spent a very exciting night in
the log cabin.
Thirty minutes after the gym clos
ed twenty of us girls met, dressed in
pajamas, slacks, jodphurs and every
other warm garment we could find,
carrying blankets, and set out for
the log cabin. The wind was growl
ing horribliy and we could almost
see spooks behind every tree along
the dark and desolate trail to the cabin.
A warm fire greeted us and we all
set out getting acquainted with the
place. In a few minutes the smell
of roasting weiners und kraut filled
the cabin and we were clamering
everywhere fixing our hot dogs and
hunting a place to sit. After an hour
or so, we grew tired of eating and
some turned to the finer things of
life—jitter-bugging. Others began to
drag mattresses in front of the fire
and "bed-down” to keep warm, and
test the flavor of everyone else’s “all
night lollypops”. As the night grew
older and the flame grew dimmer,
some of us began to doze. Of course
there was always someone around to
pull our cover off, put ice on us, or
else jump all over us to remind us
that we have time to sleep next
week. Finally a lull stole over the
room and everything was still with
the exception of an occasional giggle
or the signal to shift positions.
The morning broke forth bright
and clear, and the little log cabin
was buzzing with talk and laughter
as we girls began to dress for break
fast. Of course some of us didn’t
have much to do because we slept
with our clothes, shoes, kerchiefs,
and gloves on. Soon the cabin was
shining with cleanliness and we were
off to breakfast.. Gosh, but we had fun.

, THE WEST GEORGIAN
Maggie Pearl Again
Returns To W.G.C.
In the last issue of The West Geor
gian there appeared a letter from
Miss Maggie Pearl Botts. In her
letter she stated Chat her husband
was going to be shot at sunrise so
she was coming back to West Geor
gia College.
Much to everyone’s surprise she
arrived on the campus on December
31, 1942. However, she stayed under
cover until time for the dance. Miss
Botts said she had to do this to avoid
the mad rush she would get from
the boys.
Miss Botts was escorted to the
New Years dance by Mr. Roy Mal
com, a former student of W.G.C.
The girls on the campus were in an
uproar of jealousy because Miss
Botts immediately won the heart of
Mr. Malcolm and the other boys on
the campus. Miss Botts is at home
at 234 Main Street.
Several of the freshman girls call
ed on Miss Botts the other day and
were entertained by stories of past
experiences of Miss Botts.
Miss Botts told the girls of her
engagement and marriage to Mr.
Marcus Campbell of Rockmart, Ga.
The girls knew that Mias Botts stat
ed in her letter that her husband, a
Mr. Jones, was going to be shot at
sunrise, so they asked her what hap
pened to her first husband. Miss
Botts said that she did not have any
comments to make.
One of the moat amusing stories
told by Miss Botts was the one about
the time she broke her beautiful
back by falling on the ice. It seems
that Miss Botts was returning from
a social tea at one of Carrollton’s
numerous Juke-Joints with undis
closed members of the faculty.
The accident occurred on Sunday
morning at 5 a. m. It was the first
of its kind ever to have happened on
our campus. Many blamed the icy
walks but Miss Botts killed this
rumor. The statement she gave to
FRIDAY, MARCH 4,194S
the State Patrol was very amusing or
serious, just whichever way you wish
to take it. Miss Botts said she was
walking down Main Street riding a
heard of pink elephants. She was
stopped for speeding and parking for
more than 15 minutes. She stepped
down, took off her coat, loosened her
girdle, and swung at the cop. She
fell flat on her beautiful back. Miss
Botts said that this was one of the
most embarrassing situation that she
had ever been in.
The nightwatchman has had quite
a hand full trying to keep Miss Botts
from riding through the Campus at
5 a. m. on pink elephants and kan
garoos singing "Sweet Adaline”. How
ever, Miss Botts is fitting into the
college routine very well now so the
faculty has quit worrying.
Miss Botts says the boys over here
are young and dumb but since they
are apprenticed Morons she believes
they will learn. So girls if you are
lucky enough to have a man who is
4-F you had better watch out for
that RED-HEADED-HEP-CAT 1
