SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1944 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!

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. Huff Optical Company NEWNAN STREET 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.” EMPIRE 5-10-25 C STORE ☆ -ON THE SQUARE THE HUB ON THE SQUARE CARROLLTON, GEORGIA BOTTLED BY Carrollton Coca-Cola Bottling Cos. CARROLLTON. GEORGIA PAGE THREE
