Third Year Students
Work in Communities
Who has the tudor signed out?
Where is the station-wagon? Did
you check the mileage and re
cord it cm that mileage sheet?
Those familiar questions, and
students running around in cir
cles, signify that It is work time
for the third years. The student
body and faculty are beginning
to wonder whether they’re train
ing to be painters or teachers.
From ail outward appearances
the former seems to be the goal.
The* third years are divided
into two groups. Group 1, better
known as the Tapeworms, with
Hazel Phillips as their director
works at Sand Hill, Hulett,
Roopville, and Pine Grove. At
Sand Hill they had the enor
mous job of changing a honk
tonk into a teachearage.
When that was finished they
moved on to Pine Grove, where
with the cooperation of the stu
dents and teachers they plann
ed and held a Hallowe’en Car
nival. From there they went to
Roopville school to try their skill
as painters. Their talent for this
sort of work must be much great
er than Group IPs because they
always came back with their
clothes and hair the same color
as when they started out. At
present they are working on one
of their most difficult projects.

On November the twenty-third
there will be a community fair
at Hulett school. The trustees,
faculty, student body of the
school, and third year students
are planning the fair. Tbe ex
hibits and shows will be put on
entirely by the people of the
community. A community sing,
cake walk, fiddlers and dancing
will be features of the fair.
Group II with the unique name
of Scarecrows and under the
direction of Frances Reaves,
works at Burwell, Tallapoosa,
Rock Ridge, and McGiboney.
They received their first paint
ing experience at Tallapoosa
where their yellow bulletin
board on the front porch stands
out like a ray of sunshine. Paint
ing desk tops at Rock Ridge was
their next job.
All of them thought they could
perhaps wash the paint out of
their hair and clean their shoes
after that, but it seems that more
painting was in store for them.
The first grade room at Burwell
school had never been painted.
It was rather gloomy and unat
tractive, but now it has two
coats of paint to cheer it up. The
faculty was so pleased that they
asked the third year group to
help with their Hallowe’en Car
nival. They planned with the
students, helped with posters, ad
vertising the carnival, and ar
ranged for Grace Trapp to be the
fortune teller of the evening.
Rock Ridge was next in Group
THE WEST GEORGIAN
ll’s list. There they scrubbed
paint off the lunch room floor,
washed windows, and painted
the outside of the toilets. Some
of the group are planning to hire
out during Christmas holidays
as painters. Right now they are
working on landscaping the front
lawn at Rock Ridge. It seems a
terrible task; but if I know the
third years, they will get it
done.
But it isn’t all work and no
play. Every Monday night they
have seminar where they listen
to speakers tell of current pro
blems dealing with education,
health, community life, and the
world situation. They discuss
their work of the previous week,
and make plans for the coming
week. Every meeting is begun by
singing. The third year as a
whole have written a song to the
tune of “I’ve Been Working On
The Railroad,” and each group
has its own special song.
Two weeks ago the third year
students attended the opera
Faust in Atlanta. It was so sur
prising to see them all dressed
up, that the faculty members
who went along didn’t recognize
them at first. Sack suppers were
provided by Miss Crawford, but
after much thought and discus
sion the group decided to eat the
suppers before they left, instead
of munching apples while Vivian
Della Chiesa was singing the
very tragic part of Marguerite.
Last Friday some of the group
Mu Zeta Alpha Elects
Officers For Year
Mu Zeta Alpha, the Science
Club of West Georgia, met on
November 4, 1943, to reorganize
and elect officers for anew year.
The following people were elect
ed as the officers for the year
1943-44: Haqry Nix, president;
Tom Johnston, Vice-President;

urer. The Vice-President, Tom
Johnston, is to be the program

mittee to work with him—Vefa
Richardson, Evelyn Casey, and
Gladys Weaver. The Social Com
mittee is Grace Trapp, Paul Ap
pel, and Carolyn Mason.
The next meeting date is on
December 2, 1943. The twelve
new members will be initiated
on that date. A program has been
planned to explain and demon
strate Prince Rupert’s Drops.
went to the community fair at
Red Bud. It is a large school
located about seven miles from
Calhoun. Every year they hold a
fair with every one from the
community contributing some
thing.
A possum hunt is next in the
third year list of entertainments,
so if the weather doesn’t get too
bad, Miss Crawford is likely to
serve possum for supper same
evening. Would you like some?

Former Faculty Member
Wins National Recognition
(Continued from Page One)
Washington this fall is a young
Alabama painter, now Tech. Sgt.
Charles Shannon, who has since
seen action in the South Pacific
where he was sent on a special
asignment. Charles Shannon
before he was inducted in 1942,
was beginning to be recognized
as one of the most promising
painters of the younger genera
tion.
After two years at Emory Uni
versity in Atlanta, he went to
Clevelond School of Art on a
scholarship, and on graduation
in 1936 went to Mexico. On his
return he lived in rural Ala
bama, which furnished the back
ground for a series of oil paint
ings of unusual quality. He has
had one-man shows in New York
and at the Montgomery and
Cleveland Museums, and has
twice won Rosenwald Fellow
ships. His work secured nation
al recognition when he emerged
as one of the top prize winners
at the San Fransicso Golden
Gate Exposition in 1940. His mu
ral sketch, “C an valescence,”
painted in camp when he was ill
was one of the best of the group.”
We congratulate Sgt. Shannon
on his success, and we are proud
to say he was formerly on the
faculty of West Georgia.
