Alpha Psi Club
Gives Annual
Spring Dance
Alpha Psi entertained West
Georgia faculty, students, and
guests with the first dance of
the spring quarter in one of the
most successful social functions
of the year from 8:00 to 12:00
Saturday night, April 15.
Receiving Line Greets Guests
Guests were greeted at the door
by Saidee Scott and Frances
Wilkes. After passing through
an arch twined in ivy they were
greeted in the receiving line by
Miss Jenkins, Dorothy Tanner,

The gym was decorated as a
garden scene to accentuate the
spring season with ivy, tulips,
dogwood blossoms, and trees. A
bird bath surrounded by grass
and tulips in the middle of the
gym carried out the theme of a
garden in springtime.

in “Stardust” and Nell Ruth
Davis and Earl Yates sang
“Yours” in Spanish. Immediately

New Catalogue
To Be Issued
April 28th
News for the students! The
West Georgia Catalogue may be
expected from the printers on
April 28. Dr. Smith reports that
a bottleneck at the factory has
delayed the completion of the
catalogue but that he expects
definite news soon.
This year the catalogue is
coming out with a bigger and
better display. It will be 9 inches
by 12 inches with fifty-six pages
of information on West Georgia
College. The cover will be done
with three colors, blue, plum,
and beige —and will display
photographs of the various
buildings.
The pictures of campus life
which have been previously dis
played on the bulletin board in
the Academic Building, will re
tain their original size in the
catalogue. Many additional fea
tures have been added, plus the
usual collection of regulations,
schedules, etc. These new fea
tures will be of great interest to
the student body.
The first half of this bulletin
will contain the usual and un
usual snaps of college life—“see
yourself as you really are”
photos. The rest will be of the
previous category.
Dr. Smith is very encouraged
with this year’s catalogue. It is
by far the best one as yet that
has been put out by West Geor
gia and we, of the student body,
wish to thank Dr. Smith and Mr.
Vitarelli for their work and in
terest in this accomplishment.
