Freshmen and Student
Body Officers Elected
Freshmen offices for the year
1943-44 were filled in the final
election held on October 26 af
ter the first election held cul
minated in a tie between candi
dates for all freshmen officers
and a tie also in the race for
Vice-President of the student
body, a vacancy from last year.
The two other vacancies from
last year were filled in the first
election held on October 21, with
Claudia Waters being elected
secretary-treasurer of the soph

Bobbie Cobb. A close race was
run for vice-president of the
frosh with Joyce Henderson
coming out on top with 48 votes
cast in her favor to Saidee
Scott’s 45. Ellen Morgan made
a good showing with a total of
60 votes to Charlotte Cantrell’s
33 in the race for secretary
treasurer of the freshman class.
Much interest around
the close race between Bobby
Moore and Archie Gallman for
vice-president of the student
body. Gallman won out in the
final by the class vote of 78
votes against Moore’s 73.
West Georgia now has a com
plete set of officers of the best
type for the coming year. Let’s
all cooperate with them to the
limit in making our college one
of the best possible.
Literary Records Show
Increase In Reading
Library records reveal that
both faculty members and stu
dents are reading and studying
more this year than last year.
During October, 1942, students
checked out 1,578 books as com
pared with 1,800 during October
of this year. Faculty members
checked out 81 books for the
same period in 1942 and with
drew 90 books during October,
1943. Last year the enrollment
for October was 183 as compared
with 165 for 1 this year. The staff
is not as large this year as it was
last year.
The largest number of books
withdrawn by students for Oc
tober, 1942, and October, 1943,
was fiction. The faculty checked
out 18 volumes during October,
1943. This year over the same
period the faculty withdrew 33
volumes in the 700 section which
includes the fine arts and phys
ical education.
The library records show that
the increase among the students
has been in general rather than
required reading. The students
are taking advantage of the
splendid opportunities that our
library offers. Rewards other
than knowledge and recreation
may result from the extra time
the students are spending in the
library. Certainly better grades
can be expected this year.
Prepare to Swing
Your Partner
The usual procedure cm the
West Georgia campus about this
time every year is the counting
of weeks, days, and maybe even
hours until everyone is ready to
go home for Thanksgiving holi
days. This year it’s quite a dif
ferent but interesting story.
Since all methods of travel are
so crowded, especially during
holidays, the West Georgia stu
dents are going to remain on the
campus during the usual Thanks
giving holidays; but don’t be
discouraged, for many thrills
are in store for the students
during these days. Several acti
vities that will be of interest to
every student are being planned
which include a turkey dinner
with all the “fixin’s—you know,
dressing, cranberry sauce, and
maybe cherry pie.
You’ll be sure to ‘stick around’
till Thursday night, because from
8:00 until 11:00, at the gym,
there’s going to be a Barn Dance
with a “real” Hill Billy Band—
at least we hope the “Cowboys”
won’t fool us. The third year
students are decorating for us
and also planning a floor show.
The evening’s entertainment
will include round dancing as
well as other types so everybody
come on down dressed in cos
tume and “swing your pardner,
round and round.”
Now, “chillun” which one of
you wants to go home Thanks
giving week-end?

that there are many good voices
in the student body, but due to
the lack of accommodations and
facilities we are unable to use
all of those who tried out. I
wish to thank all for their in
terest and enthusiasm.”

Alpha Psi Crocheting
For Nursery Schools
If you see some of the young
ladies running around the cam
pus carrying weapons that look
like miniature shoe hooks, don’t
be alarmed. It’s only the Alpha
Psi girls, and those dangerous
needles. Alpha Psi has gone in
for chrocheting in a big way. No,
they aren’t working on hope
chests. They’re going to crochet
edges on blankets for the nur
sery schools in Carrollton.
It all started with a visit
the sophomore home economics
girls made to the nursery
schools. They became very
much interested in them, and
when Mrs. Carpenter suggested
that Apha Psi help out by mak
ing curtains and crocheting edges
for the blankets for the nursery
schools, they were all for it. So
let’s all wish them luck with it,
and hope nobody jabs herself
with her needle.
