and a Lady” by E. Pilliot and “Trifles” by Susan Glaspell as their
first performance of the year before a large audience Thursday,
December 2, 1943, at 8 o’clock in the college auditorium.
Two Crooks and a Lady
“Dance Macabre” by Saint
Saens was the music played be
fore the production of “Two
Crooks and a Lady.” This was
a play in which a paralyzed old
lady had nothing but her brains
to defend herself against two
strong crooks. It was interest
ing to see how she played one
off against the other and how
she gave each a chance to prove
whether or not he or she was
worthy of being protected from
the law.
One feature of the play was
the use of interchangeable casts
in order to give more students
experience, in dramatics. Those
taking part were: Miller, the
Hawk, the robber, Paul Caden
head and Madison New; Lucille,
his accomplice, Opal Beck and
Sarah Hinesley Mrs. Simms
Vane, a paralyzed old lady, Eve
lyn Kidd and Bobbie Cobb; Miss
Jones, her companion, Mary
Ruth Panter and Sadie Scott;
Policeman, Harry Nix; Police In
spector, Archie Callman.
Student directors: Ruth Brown,
Pick Perry and Edith Phillips;
faculty Director: Mrs. George
Kerry Smith; costumes: Nell
Ruth Davis; properties: Helen
Fisher; sound effects: Hayward

behind the curtain. A plea was
made for a doctor and anyone

D. F. Folger Speaks
At Chapel Exercise
“Education and Responsibility
for the Common Good” was Dr.
D. F. Folger’s subject when he
was speaker for the regular
chapel assembly on November
9th.
Dr. Folger pointed out the fact
that many people are willing to
jeopardize the welfare of others
for personal gain. As examples
of endangering the welfare of
others and for personal gain he
named impure foods, poisonous
cosmetics and patent medicines.
Many group organizations, such
as some labor organizations and
lobbyists, disregard the bad ef
fects they have on the general
welfare of the nation in pursu
ing their selfish interests.
He explained that because
these people are products of the
present educational system, be
cause school systems sometimes
stimulate personal gain at the
expense of others, this shows
that some great revisions are
needed in present day education
programs.
Dr. Folger said, “I believe that
it is more important to get peo
ple to accept responsibility for
the common good than anything
else, because we are so interpen
dent that no one can be happy
without the common welfare of
others. Seek the welfare of the
group, and happiness will come
automatically to the individual.”

Dr. Roberts Accepts
Position In Ohio
Dr. L. E. Roberts plans to leave
West Georgia for a while to work
with the Historical Branch of
the Army Air Forces, Wright
Field, Dayton, Ohio. He feels
that it is his duty to get into war
work. His work will relieve the
younger men for active service.
The nature of his work will be
writing and editing the history
of the Materiel Command for use
by army staff officers.
Dr. Roberts came from the
city schools in Atlanta in 1933,
when West Georgia College was
organized, to head the Social
Science Department. He was
away in the winter and spring
quarters of 1936 and 1942 work
ing on his doctorate at Duke
University.
Dr. Roberts is a civic and social
leader in Carrollton and vicinity
and his absence will be felt as
much in the town and commun
ity as in the college. The faculty
and students regret Dr. Roberts’
leaving, but they are glad for
him to render a valuable service
in the war effort and wish him
success and happiness in his
new work.
