Spanish Club Holds
Barn Dancejn Gym
Mid salty popcorn, refreshing cokes,
short dresses, and bare feet, West
Georgia turned out en-masse for the
Barn Dance given by the Spanish
Club, Friday, February 9th. Good old
fashioned square dancing to the tune
of a good old fashioned hill-billy
band provided entertainment for
more than one faculty member and
college co-ed.
All those present came in their
"farm clothes,” which consisted in
most cases of overalls and red ker
chiefs for the boys, and short dresses
and pig tails for the feminine contin
gent. The gym, complete with fodder,
corn shucks, hay, and plows, was a
typical barn.

THE REV. HAGOOD
SPEAKS AT VESPERS
The Rev. Hagood, minister from
Villa Rica, was guest speaker at the
regular Sunday afternoon Vespers,
February 18.
GENOLA, GA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1945
G. S. C. W. PRESIDENT
AS GUEST SPEAKER
Dr. Guy H. Welles, president
of G. S. C. W. at Milledgeville
and a native of Carroll County,
was guest speaker at chapel Tues
day, February 13. Dr. Welles has
given talks many times at West
Georgia in past years and the
faculty looks forward to his visits
as those of "an old friend.”
Early in his discussion he stated
that a person must have a good
sense of humor to enjoy life. He
put this into practice, for he soon
had all the students practically
"rolling in the aisles” and wonder
ing between laughs where he stored
that vast knowledge of the latest
touches of humor.
The last part of his talk turn
ed to the serious side. "We can’t,”
said Dr. Welles, "go on with hav
ing wars every twenty-five years
without finally destroying civiliza
tion.”
In his post-war plans, he said
the Allies must provide fully for
these five things: justice, brother
hood, freedom, security, and vital
religion. "We must,” he also add
ed, "have a deep respect for indi
vidual people if democracy is to
live.”
