Phyt Ed Claiiei Work on May
Day Program
Du* to the fact that we have had
so much of that liquid "sky-juice”
falling, (called ram in your lang
uage), the tennis tournaments have
moved along very slowly—just a few
lucky people have gotten their games
off. However, the winners will be giv
en in the next edition.
The classes have been playing soft
ball quite a bit. We might even be
able to boast of a few feminine Babe
Ruths. Due to the fact that May Day
practice has been going on there hav
en’t been any intramural games but
these will take place at a later date.
That’s about all for this time but
the next edition will carry the reports
on tennis and other intramurals.
THE DOCTORS DIVULGE—
"My Dreams Are Getting Better
all the Time”. Last night, I dreamed
that Quirty found the wandering ten
nis raquet and came through to a
smashing victory in the boy’s tourney.
Okey, okey, I’ll quit taking opium. It
did seem just a trifle outlandish even
to me.
Nevertheless, with or without the
purloined paddle, the tourney rocks
on its merry way. Some have been
eliminated while others are still in
there swinging. As yet, no one seems
to be a clear shot. Before the theft,
Quirty was a high favorite but sans
raquet, Quirty gets no better than
even money.
By the time of the final edition all
reports will be in and we can an
nounce to you the winner of the
Spring Turnament for the year of
1945. Good luck to everyone.
Any Monday or Wednesday after
noon now, if you gaze on our back
campus, you may catch a, glimpse of
a fine-looking group of young stal
warts jovially engaging in softball on
the lucious green grass of the athletic
field. (There goes that opium again).

Appreciates Your
Business
In stark reality you find twenty im
patient youths hustling along to get rid
of the five innings required of them.
(Don’t let this get out but frankly
they really like it. They show such
fire, such enthusiasm, such spirit . . .
such language.)
But to get down to facts and figures
as the records now stand the team
captained by Dr. Joyner has captured
three contests while Dr. Johnson’s ag
gregation has one game to its credit.
There is absolutely nothing of inter
est that has accurred in any of these
games and thus I don’t intend to bore
you fine people with the gory details.
So saying this,"l fold my tent like the
Arabs and silently steal away. . . .”

THE WEST GEORGIAN
West Georgia Celebrates
Thirty-Seventh Anniversary
At Founders Day Program

which was held in the College Audi
torium at 10:45 a. m., with Dean W.
Fred Gunn presiding.
The Reverend H. B. Benson led the
Invocation after which Oliver Lind
sey sang "The Lord’s Prayer”.
Program Broadcast Over W.G.S.T.
Chancellor Sanford was the guest
speaker and a portion of his address
was broadcast over W.G.S.T.
Following the address the Choir
sang and President Ingram presented
the Board of Regents and other spe
cial guests.
The student Scholarships, honors
for Student Clubs and Activities, Ath
letics, Citizenship, and The Gordon
Watson awards were presented by
Professor George Adams. Those re
ceiving Gordon Watson awards were

Betty Perkins, Sara Putnam and Syl
bra Smith.
At the close of the program the
West Georgia Choir led in singing of

was invited to the barbecue on the
campus.
v
A College Or A
Hospital?
"Is West Georgia a college or a
hospital?” we’re beginning to wonder.
Judging from the recent "ills and
ails” of a large number of the stu
dents one would be led to believe it
to be the latter.
Quite a few of our dear acquaint
ances have come to the co'nclusion
during the past few weeks that Dr.
Doubles is right when he tells us that
the human body contains an appen
dix. (Strange how one little worm of
a thing called an appendix can inter
fere with so many studies, social ac
tivities, and third year meetings, eh
Doris?)
A few of the girlls have decided
they have —or at least they had —ton-
sils, too. A certain wing of Adamson
Hall was noticeably quiet for a few
days following a tonsil operation un
dergone by one of our ladies.
And we wonder where the food
poison came from. It seems to have
come from the air or somewhere be
cause it is most definite that the large
number of West Georgia kids could
n’t have eaten the same thing every
body else in Carroll County ate, and
THEY were ill too.
But our greatest trouble seems to
be caused by an age old disease which
results from the bite of an insect. No
prevention or remedy has been found
for the disease due to the fact that
the insect is too small to be seen even
under a miscroscope. Its minuteness
has little to do with the seriousness of
the disease it causes, however. It
may be observed in almost every stage
here on our campus, and the symp
toms are quite obvious. It’s a fast
working disease that has struck
Genola. And it’s contagious—that
thing called love.
V
CLOTHING DRIVE
A SUCCESS
In the recent clothing drive spon
sored by the V. R. A. Council, Sara
Putnam, president of the Council,
stated that all the dormitories res
ponded very well and pronounced it
a success.
What Do The
Sophomores
Plan For 1945?
Those superior intellectual beings
known in polite society as sopho
mores” have great things in mind for
the coming school term.
The freshmen will probably be the
first victims. After that, who knows?
—This is not a warning to the faculty.
The sophomores first plan to raise
by some method, legal or otherwise,
scads of money. This will definitely
be a big improvement over this year’s
defunct treasury department.
The second thing on our plan for
a better West Georgia is to get Mr.
Burl Q. Phillips a job. He will great
ly appreciate this after being on the
voluntary retired list for so long.
We, the sophomores, in order to
insure domestic tranquility do hereby
swear to keep out of any serious trou
ble for the next year. All right, that
means no more bombs or tommy-guns
hidden in closets just waiting to get
a bead on some especially beloved
faculty members’ head.
Now that the major things have
been taken care of we will get down
to some minor details such as non
destruction of Melson and keeping
the Academic Building in workable
order.

Avery good fantastic—but—true

you don’t believe this just ask Mrs.
Williams.
We promise you, Miss Ward, and
you, Mrs. Abbott, to throw no more
hand grenades into the lobbies of
Mandeville and Adamson and. also
never to forget to sign out. We don't
know which is the more serious of
fense.

If you could but see what goes on
in the old "Ac” Building sometimes.
No kiddin’ it’s bad as Saturday in
Carrollton.
By the way who was using “Oscar”
for a sparring partner the other day?
Betcha Doc Doubles wouldn’t ex
actly appreciate that, would he?
And the Post Office—what a beat
ing that place takes. Old "three
cent” Cadenhead really looks whipped
down at times.
Now as "Liza” would say "All
kiddin’ aside —"the sophomores DO
plan to be the backbone of a student
body that will be altogether as credit
able to the good name of West Geor
gia as is the class just graduating.
We pledge ourselves to do a good
job!
