Revealing Our Famous
Undefeated Faculty Members
Faculty members sometimes
impress us as being strange and
fascinating creatures! Not that
we don’t all have our eccentrici
ties, but our own professors here
at West Georgia furnish us with
amusement!
A typical day on our “hallow
ed campus” is not complete un
less Mr. Vitarelli, better known
as “Vit” comes chugging up in
that streamline limousine of his.
What really adds that special
charm to the car is the swank
horn, which can be heard peal
ing forth most any hour of the
day. Another attribute of this
amazing bit of locomotion is that
it is easily transported from one
part of the campus to another.
We are expecting to walk in and
find it in the classroom most
any day now!
What we students want most
to know —is Mr. Adams really
one of the cohorts of Secret
Agent X-9, and what are the con
tents of the big brief case which
has become his bosom compan
ion?
The man shortage has really
placed Dr. Doubles, the only un
attached professor, in the lime
light! The biology professor is
basking in the luxury of femin
ine attention, although he is
bravely trying to appear the
vehement woman-hater!
We would like to know Miss
Campbell’s secret for moving
around so noiselessly! Somehow
she always manages to appear
on the scene just as we are vigor
ously proclaiming the fact that
we are two weeks behind in our
reading of Ibsen’s plays.
Dr. Smith remains the essence
of masculine charm. What we
can’t understand, however, is
how he always manages to be so
impeccable when he apparently
has so little time for anything.
He is always able somehow to
make his classes just nine and
a half minutes after the bell,
much to our regret.
BOYS GIVE “TRAMP”
DANCE ON CAMPUS
On Saturday July Ist, the boys
of Melson Morgue came through
with the first dance of summer
school. To be sure it was a trifle
novel but then so are some of
the boys. It was one of the first
of its kind in this section. The
scene of the dance was in front
of the Acedemic building here on
the campus of West Georgia.
The general theme of the outing
was “Trampish” atmosphere in
spired by some of the boy’s garb.
The driveway of the school
was blocked off and the dancing
prevailed in the street from 8:30
until 11 P. M. One of the high
points of the evening was the
refreshments served in the store
through cooperation of the boys,
Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Abbott
who donated the “cokes” for the
occasion.
Invitations were sent to all
the old students and a goodly
number returned for the affair.
A grand time was enjoyed by
the more than fifty guests who
were present. Thanks boys and
more pow T er to you for your next
affair.
Mr. Ingram’s history students
are not really intoxicated it’s
just that they are still quite
dizzy from trying to keep up
with his careless tread from one
end of the room to the other! We
are hoping that some kind soul
will endow West Georgia and in
clude provisions for anew floor
in A-3.
What we find so admirable
about Dr. Folger is his sympa
thetic understanding of our stu
pidity in his math courses. He
repeatedly informs us of the
futility of learning algebra, but
unfortunately at examination
time this fact loses much of its
meaning.
Mr. Howell has the most an
noying habit of hiding his in
evitable chemistry tests behind
the map. Every time we walk in
class we cringe with fear—one
of these days we are going to
get real bold and destroy this
evil bit of camouflage!

THE WEST GEORGIAN
Recreational
Round-Up
The summer session got off to
a good start by playing tennis.
Everyone seemed interested in
tennis so it was necessary to
have a .tournament to see who
was tops. All the boys entered
the tournament and were to play
the best three out of five games.
Joyner, the College Park lad, was
winner of the upper bracket,
Cadenhead, the veteran, was
winner of the middle bracket,
and Barton, the Sonoraville lad,
was winner of the lower brack
et. Then the competition began.
Barton was successful in put
ting Cadenhead out in the semi
finals. That left Joyner and
Barton in the finals. This game
was really a thriller because of
the fact that they had to play
the best two out of three sets. A
large crowd witnessed the game
and enjoyed it very much. Bar
ton won the first set (6 to 2) and
he was also winner of the second
set (10 to 8). Both players were
good sports and showed great
ability.
P. S. Have you noticed that
“Jimmy” is putting a layer of
sand on the lower courts. They
really look good.
Softball, the sport everyone at
W.G.C. enjoys participating in,
is also being carried on by the
Physical Education department.
The field is in good shape and
also the players, especially the
work shop group. There have
been some interesting games
plaj'ed between the work shop
and college students and between
the college girls and boys. June
21, the work shop girls and col
lege girls marched out to the
field and played the first game
of the season. The work shop
team seemed to be the favorite.
They won to the time of 17 to
15. The expert pitching of Mary
Elrod was too much for the col
lege team. Patrick for the los
ing team also did some excellent
playing not to mention the little
McClure girl and all those hits.
Then on June 26, the college
boys and the college girls met in
a thriller. The hold back for
the boys was that they had to
do everything opposite from
what they had been used to do
ing. What is batting left hand
ed, throwing left handed, and
pitching left handsd? The boys
could not be outwitted by the
females and won by the score of
26 to 3. Everyone enjoyed the
game but were rather sore the
next day. Another game was
played June 27, between those
who just wanted to play for rec
reation. The final score was 12
to 2 in favor of Cadenhead’s
team.
Monday and Thursday after
noon everyone gets that old
feeling of the water. Under the
expert instruction of Mr. Vit,
the classes seem to be progress
ing fine. There are two classes
of swimmers; those that can’t
swim at all and a class of those
that can Swim. Almost all those
that could not swim have learn
ed that there is nothing to swim
ming and are learning fast. The
other class is learning more
complicated strokes and diving.
The classes stay in the pool one
hour and do they hate to hear
Vit say “College group out!”
Everyone’s attention is grad-
“RAT” DAY
One of the most enjoyable
days—no, that couldn’t be said—
one of the most interesting days
of college took place when “Rat”
day was observed here at West
Georgia. It was a day packed
with fun —for the Sophomores
and well, it wasn’t too bad on the
Freshmen. It was fun for one
day but no one shed tears when
night came and it was all over.
This day of sparkling enjoy
ment started by all “rats” being
required to wear clothes back
ward or wrongside-out. To say
the least, this part was slightly
awkward. Also the rats weren’t
allowed to comb their hair and
that was naturally a trifle worse
on the girls than boys but even
the boys locked gruesome.
One of the most educating
features of this event was the
giving of the “Freshman’s
Creed” by all Freshmen when
ever asked for it by an honored
Sophomore. This creed probably
contained more big words than
any other document in the
world today which includes the
new tax bill in Congress. The
creed is as follows: “Elevate
your obligatum to the summit
of your paracranuim and allow
me to present for your occular
observation this scientific piece
of mechanism which forms an
aquised portion of this depart
ment. This most honorable
Sophomore is the Freshman’s
Creed.” This little speech was
given in reverent tones from the
kneeling position. “Rats” were
also required to assume a posi
tion of attention whenever a
Sophomore sang that bee-u,-ti-ful
ually being centered around the
Croquet set. The court is locat
ed in front of Adamson Hall,
where it is real pleasant to play.
There seems to be some stars at
Croquet on the campus, so le't’s
all get to work and all be stars.

ditty entitled “You Are My Sun
shine.” Incidentally, some of the
Sophomores could easily win a
marathon singing contest. And
not even be blowing after It.
The closing event in this days
festivities was the celebrated
“square-meal” by “rats.” This
was also enjoyed—by the Sopho
mores and of course by the
Freshmen who weren’t in the
least hungry.
This wound up the day with
exception of a little letter-writ
ing, shoe - polishing, clothes,
washing, etc. by the Freshmen
who were nice enough to help
out the Sophomores.
There was only one other
event on the docket and this
really was enjoyed by the Fresh
men. This was when each Fresh
man escourted a Sophomore to
the cinema.
This was all and each Fresh
man heaved a sigh of relief as
the day closed. Each had sur
vived and so began anticipating
the day when they would be on
the administering end of “Rat
Day.” The secret vow of Fresh
men is “This was nothing. Wait
til I’m a Sophomore.”
