PAGE FOUR 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.

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. y 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! Ga. Supervisors Will Meet At Carrollton Carrollton, Dceember 5. —The Executive Board of the Georgia Department of Supervision and Curriculum Development an nounced today that the fourth annual conference will be held on January 28 and 29 at West' Georgia College, Carrollton.

West Georgia students were asked to join the blood donors in doing their part for Uncle Sam. Several of the students on the campus gave their “pint” to help save the lives of the men in the fighting forces. Those who donated were, Ger trude Eley, Mrs. Ila Williams, Helen Fisher, Hugh Moss.
