PLANS FOR NEW
SCIENCE BUILDING
NOW UNDERWAY
Post war plans for anew
science building for West Geor
gia are being made. The plans
were begun during winter quar
ter, and the blueprints have al
ready been prepared.
The building will include a
dark room for showing movies;
student officers; a teachers’
lounge and guest room; labora
tories for chemistry, biology,
and physics; a student activity
room; a lounge for day students;
and anew college store. The
building will be brick with white
columns, along the same lines
as the other W. G. C. buildings.
The present plans and the
future construction are being
handled by Burge and Stevens,
Architects and Engineers.
Sympathy For
The Sophs!
“Please ask someone else. I
just can’t possibly do it with all
the stuff we Sophs have got to
do between now and June 2,”
begs Barbara.
“You are an old hand at it,
though,’’ pleads Anne. “I don’t
know anyone else to ask.”
“What about one of the Fresh
men?” insisted Barbara.
Anne turns and walks off
rather reluctantly. Next we see
her going into Mandeville or
Adamson to tackle one of the
Freshmen. The Freshman says,
“Why, yes, I’ll do my best.”
“What?” questions surprised
Anne. “Don’t you have some
chores that have just got to be
done?”
“Oh, not much. I have an alge
bra class tonight, a Social Science
Club meeting tomorrow night, a
couple of articles to write for
The West Georgian , choir pic
nic Saturday, Hampton Sunday,
tennis tournament to play off,
on the decoration committee for
the final dance, and on program
at Vespers. However, don’t you
worry; I’ll be glad to help you.”
Anne, relating the incident to
her roommate that night, sighs,
“That’s the kind of people that
will keep West Georgia living
forever.”
The date is now June 1. Anne
sees Barbara and John Walking
slowly back from the dining
hall. Only one more day to be
together! They have been to
town every day for the last two
weeks; seeing all pictures and
lingering over the sodas in their
favorite drug store. Anne, notic
ing all of this, says under her
breath, she was busy
busy courting.”
No matter how hard she tries,
Anne’s not mad at her friend,
Barbara, the Soph. No, indeed,
for the Sophomores have been
great pals to The Little Fresh
men and will be long remember
ed, for the happy times spent
together will be cherished for
ever.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
Introducing A
Favorite At
W est Georgia
All of the students here on
the campus are well acquainted
with Mary Eliza, who is one of
the maids for the college. She
has been with the college for
several years and she has been
so kind to relate to us the most
important happenings in her
life. The most outstanding events
follow:
On July the fourth, Jim Rod
gers and Ryjanea Ware Rodgers
had quite a bang! On that day
Mary Eliza Rodgers made her
first appearance in this “cold
and cruel world—” so says Mary
Eliza. She was the third of
twelve chilldren who were born
in Troup County on the Ben
Swanson place to the Rodgers.
For her first marriage in 1904,
she went to Heard county to get
tied pp with Sweet Moreland.
But Sweet got rowdy and Mike
Wood shot him.
Then for her second “leap”—
Well, she got him in Troup coun
ty in 1911. His name was Milton
Duffy. He went to the Army,
and when Mary Eliza never did
hear from him she decided that
it was time to start looking for
someone else. Then was when
she found her third and last
man.
To start the year off right
“Liza” married John Henry Luke
on December 27, 1921, in Carroll
county. John Henry and “Liza”
have been married happily since
then. By the way, she doesn't
have any of those “heaven sent
blessings.”
(If by now you are wondering
why this is being written it’s so
all of the students will know
something about “Mary Eliza,”
the maid of Melson Hall, who
has been so good to all of the
boys, even to the extent of pro
viding financial backing in case
of a heavy date).
“Liza” has been at West Geor
gia “off and on” for seven years.
She has been with the boys in
Melson for three years. Quoting
her, “I’d rather work with boys
’cause they all seems to like
and respects me.” When asked
what she wanted most she said,
“I wants a picture of my boys
in the dormitory.” She gave her
dislikes as: A liar, a gambler,
and a rogue.
She was questioned as to what
she thought about the younger
generation going wild, she an
swered, “The old peoples is wor
ried about what’s the young
peoples is a doin’ but the first
thing is for us old peoples to
pray a little more ourselves and
then we’ll draw all mens unto
us.”
Just as a little extra, shepitch
ed this in when interviewed:
“Fs never been to a school in my
life but I got mother wit about
me to get up and do something
.and then sit back down.”

Third Year Group Completes
Work, Returns To Campus
Have you noticed any addi
tions to the campus lately? Just
look around and you will dis
cover that the interne teachers
from Sand Hill and Burwell are
back. It seems that they had the
idea that just because their
school was out they were free
to rest. If you have been keep
ing up with Third Year Life,
though, you will see that they
were mistaken. In a short plan
ning period about two weeks ago
enough plans were made for the
internes to make them wish
that county schools went on for
ever.
Internes Teach Two Months
The internes this quarter had
only two months teaching, but
it was of the most enjoyable
time of year. The attend
ance was sometimes poor be
cause of spring planting and so
much rainy weather, but every
where you found students inter
ested in their work. Because it
is spring, quite a bit of nature
study was taught. The internes
enjoyed taking their students on
field trips, picnics, and playing
outside games at supervised
play time. All of these informal
gatherings helped the interne to
know his student better. This is
one of the most important
phases in teaching, a thorough
knowledge of each student as an
individual.
The Third Year group and
faculty entertained the normal
students at a strawberry ice
cream party Wednesday night.
You should have seen the merry
making in Dr. Folger’s kitchen
Wednesday afternoon when
about six of the group got to
gether to make the ice cream.
Everyone was very cooperative
in sampling to be sure it was
sweet enough, and that there
were plenty of strawberries in
it.
Party Held at Log Cabin
The party was held at the log
cabin. Games took second place
after the freezers of cream were
opened. There were no restrict
ions on the amount guests could
eat, so people just kept refilling
until all three gallons were gone.
The cookies that Mr. Vitarelli
baked were quite a hit, too.
At present the Third Year
group is working on a set of
maps to show what schools they
have worked in, and the im
provements that have been made
in those schools.
The Third Year library is be
ing disbanded for the year. The
student body hopes that it will
be set up again next year, be
cause it is often necessary to
keep a book out longer than the
regular library allows. The third
year room is ‘also particularly

cheerful place to read in.
If you’re around next year,
notice the brown rug in the
Third Year room. It was former
ly green, but brown seemed to
go better with the color scheme
With only ten boxes of rit, two
bottles of clorox, a strong back,
a determination to do the job,
and Mary Eliza’s black wash pot,
the present color was attained.
V
Has Summer
Finally Hit
Our Campus?
What shall I wear tomorrow?
Yes, that’s been the question on
the lips of every girl at West
Georgia since September 23 and
they’re receiving some vey hec
tic answers since April Fool’s
Day.
Yes, for the past two months
the girls have been carrying
sweaters, wool skirts, coats, and
all their warm duds home—ex
pecting warm weather and
spring dresses. One morning
however they awakened to find
it cold after a night’s rain and
you should have seen the bor
rowing of jackets and the press
ing of wool skirts found tucked
way down in the bottom of the
trunk.
However, it seems that old
summer has. hit West Georgia
for a long visit. Along with the
change of the weather came the,
change of fashions-dresses, bare
foot sandals, and up-sweep of
hair-dos. Boys, don’t these girls
look sweet?
