MISS SAVAGE ADDRESSES WEST
GEORGIA GIRLS ON WEDNESDAY
Miss Pauline Savage, member of the Navy Nurse Crops, spoke
to all the girls on the campus on Wednesday, December Ist.
Miss Savage represented the*
National Nursing Council for
War Service and the United
States Cadet Nurse Corps—the
government plan which, under
the U. S. Public Health Service,
offers a free professional educa
tion to qualified students. Her
visit was a part of a nation-wide
endeavor to recruit 65,000 stu
dent nurses this year for war
time replacements caused by
acute needs of the Army, Navy,
and civilian health agencies, and
also to interest college women in
preparation for post-war careers.
The latest information on the
United States Cadet Nurse Corps
was given by Miss Savage, who
has recently conferred with Miss
Lucile Petry, and other national
authorities. Recruits in the Corps
receive free tuition, free main
tenance, distinctive gray and
scarlet uniforms, and a monthly
allowance during their entire
period of training in accdedited
schools of nursing. In return,
they promise to remain active in
essential military or civilian
nursing for the duration of the
war.
Nursing—War Work With a
Future
Nursing, Miss Savage believes,
is war work with a future. The
first women to go ovreseas with
the armed forces were the Army
and Navy nurses. Even before
she graduates, the student nurse
is now recognized as being in a
service as essential as that un
dertaken by the WACS, the
SPARS, and the Marines. Stu
dent nurses release graduate
nurses for service overseas, or

Need for Nurses is Growing
Miss Savage concluded by say
ing that as a post-war profession,
nursing offers opportuni ties
which have greatly expanded by
the war. Nurses will be called
upon to take part in post-war
reconstruction programs abroad
and at home. There is now, and
there is every evidence that
there will continue to be after
the war, a great need for nurses
—not only in hospitals and other
institutions, but also in public
helath nursing, as teachers in
schools of nursing, in govern
ment work with the U. S. Public
Health Service, the U. S. Bureau
of Indian Affairs, the U. S. Vet
erans Administration, and in a
number of specialized fields.

Thanksgiving Day
A Gala Occasion
Did someone say, “I thought
we should have Thanksgiving
holidays”? That must have been
before November 25 —no student
at West Georgia could have said
so afterwards!
Many of us were terribly dis
appointed when it was announc
ed that we would have no
Thanksgiving holidays. We fore
saw a bleak day of classwork
and lessons. Yes, it was the pa
triotic thing to do to let the sold
iers have all available transpor
tation and stay on the campus,
but it really was going to be an
effort for some of us.
Then came the first surprise—
all classes would be over by noon
and none of them were to last
over 35 minutes! Hum-m-m, not
so bad after all?
A barn dance was planned and
it began to look as if Thanks
giving might be an enjoyable oc
casion after all.
Thanksgiving day arrived with
beautiful weather. Everyone be
gan getting the real spirit of a
holiday. Best of all, the faculty
couldn’t keep up with the new
schedule and missed meeting
about half the classes. It’s still a
matter of conjecture whether
Dr. Roberts met a class on time
throughout the whole morning!
After all classes had been com
pleted, the V. R. A. sponsored
chapel exercises in the gym with
Mr. Gunn speaking on the
“Meaning of Thanksgiving” to
the assembled students and visi
tors.
When chapel exercises were
completed, hungry students be
gan gathering around the dining
hall, waiting for the turkey din
ner it had been rumored was
waiting for us.
If everyone didn’t have the
Thanksgiving spirit by this time,
it didn’t take long to gain it
when the “heaps and heaps” of
food were placed in front of us—
turkey, cranberry sauce, mince
meat pie with ice cream, and all
the trimmings that go to make
us a real Thanksgiving feast.
Everyone agreed it was the best
Thanksgiving dinner he had eat
en in years and crammed to the
limit in proving the point
THE WEST GEORGIAN
The management of the Carroll
and Arcade Theatres opened
their doors, free of charge, to all
West Georgia students who wish
ed to attend during the after
noon. Rare indeed were the stu
dents who did not take in both
shows.
Walking to and from town
served to help well stuffed stu
dents walk off some of the food
and by the time we arrived back
at West Georgia everyone was
ready for that classic assort
ment of foods—supper bags! Af
ter finishing these, preparations
began for the climax of Thanks
giving Day; a rollicking barn
dance at the gym.
Everyone had an enjoyable
time throughout the day and all
students wish to express their
appreciation to the faculty, Miss
Crawford and her helpers, the
third year group, and the mange
ment of the Carroll and Arcade
theatres for making this past
Thanksgiving day a happy and
memorable occasion for us all.
Workshop Committee
Organized In Atlanta
The committee on workshops
for teachers and principals met
Friday, November 26, in the De
partment of Education at the
State Office Building in Atlanta.
The purpose of the meeting was
to decide upon the types of
workshops needed and the kind
of work that will be done in each
one next summer.
Dr. Folger a Member
This permanent Teacher Edu
cation Council is composed of
nine members which are chosen
from colleges throughout the
state. Dr. D. F. Folger, Dean of
Instruction here at West Geor
gia, is a member of the Council.
According to Dr. Folger, “The
institutions which will probably
conduct these annual workshops
are the University of Georgia,
Emory University, Mercer Uni
versity, Georgia State College for
Women, and West Georgia.”
V
French Club
Studies "Faust"
The French Club met Tues
day night, November 16, in the
Music Room. It was found that,
although the members could not
go to see Faust as the third year
students did, they could derive
a great deal of pleasure from
reading it and listening to some
of the music on records. An at
tempt to sing some French songs
was made but Mr. Adams had to
do a solo on most of them. How
ever, there is going to be another
trial and when “Marsellaise” if
finally learned the French Club
will at least know something
that the college choir is not hum
ming all of the time.
Several new games have been
planned to be played at the next
meeting, and nobody can deny
that this will be fun. So why
not come to the next French
club meeting. You are promised
that you will get to see Maxene
Harris’ dimples as he calls the
meeting to order and hear Waldo
Jones’ deep bass voice as he
reads minutes. How about it
French students? Better late
than never!
