PAGE FOUR SOPHOMORES VIEW OF FRESHMAN WEEK “Hey Freshman!” This fami liar sound rang through the dor mitories, in the Ac building, in the dining hall, and in various places on the campus during the first or “Freshman” week of Summer School at West Georgia College. Then entering Fresh man this summer failed to have the suspense of waiting till fall to be initiated; they were suffi ciently initiated when they en tered. In order to get things started off on time, each of the “Honor able Sophomores” chose a fresh man whom he expected to do his “dirty work” for him. At the beginning the freshmen seemed to enjoy this, but of course it became quite a burden before the week was over. Some be gan dodging their Sophomore and refusing to do the work as signed them, but when they realized what their superiors could do to them, they resumed their work willingly. Shoe shining was the main feature of the week. In the lob by, on the steps, or most any where one looked one could see some results of a shoe shinning job. The floors in the dormitor ies (namely Melson) became so spotted with shoe polish it be gan to shine in places itself. This became such a nuisance that the house mother, Mrs. Williams, had to push the shoe shinning racket into the individual rooms. This only made things worse, for the Freshmen had to clean up the room after they finished with the shoes. Immediately after supper one night during “Rat” week the freshmen lined up with their • shovels, brooms, and mops for an unknown task. They were soon loaded on the two college WELCOME WEST GEORGIA STUDENTS We invite you to visit our place when you are in town. We specialize in invisible sol ing. Shoe polish and laces.

After a short “pep talk” by the Sophomores, the Fresh men began trying their skill as “swab-jockeys”. Yes, the inevitable square meals finally came around, be lieve me, they were around be cause the Freshmen were dress ed backwards. With shirts on backwards, loud ties dangling from behind their necks, and pants “hind-part-fore”. The fresh men entered the dining hall with hunger gleaming from their eyes. The smell of hot English peas filled the place with an at tractive ordor for the hungry freshmen. Upon reaching their individual places they discover ed the only utensil they had for eating was a knife. They may not have eaten much, but never can it be said that they didn’t try. This was a most attractive day at West Georgia. The true glam our of its freshmen girls was re vealed. No powder, no paint, no lipstick, or even a hair ribbon was allowed on these young wo men. Some of the young, inno cent, home - loving, freshmen were very rapidly becoming ac quainted with the kind of treat ment of the “Most Honorable Sophomore”. Never before has the West Ga. College Sophomore theme song had such wide popularity. The sound of this beautiful and most highly praised song which is loved and praised by all is “You are My Shunshine”. When the freshmen heard the words or even someone whistling this beloved tune, they stood at at tention until the song was com pletely finished. Apparently they liked it or maybe they were afraid of what would happen to them if they didn’t like it. We Sophomores are indeed proud of the fine sportsmanship shown by these incoming fresh men. We are confident that the initiating spirit and tactics we have given them wall not be for gotten. “Every Dog has his day”. This seems to be the feeling of each freshman about the fresh men of next year. They realize that they will be the superiors next year and that they can treat their inferiors even more kindly than they have been treated. You are good sports freshmen, and we wish you good luck with the freshmen of next year. THANKS! This issue of the “West Geor gian” is edited by students at tending summer school.
