West Georgia Has Important
Unexpected Vistor
By Fd Johnson
T’wa* the Night before Monday
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring—
Not even a polecat. (I know it
doesn’t rhyme!)
When somebody poked him
And stirred him up right,
Then that striped kitty
Really started to fight.
Yes, all was peaceful in Mel
son Manor. Westbrook was
grunting amiably, and Friend
Dempsey was on his nightly pil
grimage in search of fags.
In the upstairs department M.
I. was snoring contentedly and
Oliver was blissfully emitting
"Gianina Mia.”
Yates was taking a shower and
Rudolph was scrambling eggs in
his sleep.
To top it all, Joyner, was at
peace with the world and Davie.
Our illustrious night-watchman
Mr. Beavers was called upon to
investigate a mild, nearly unnot
iced, (except by Quirty) and
very inoffensive odor that was
inhibiting Mr. Cadenhead’s rest.
Mr. Beavers almost immediate
ly found the source of trouble —
thanks to his Hawkshaw ances
try.
In his slow drawl Mr. Beavers
stated —Quote —"It’s just a old
'possom down the sewy. Gimme
a shevel V ah’ll get 'im out.”
A shovel was acquired for Bro
ther Beavers and he began to
work. After two mighty strokes
with the "shevel”, Mr. Beavers
leaped from the bushes outside
Cadenhead’s room, giving two
mighty oaths.
"That possum ain’t nothing
but a polecat,” quoth he, "Who
will volunteer to help me get him
out?”
"I”, cried the gallant West
brook as he sprang from his fox-

hole. After about three whiffs of
that pungent aroma, Westbrook
gave up the Ghost and his sup
per.
Then the mighty Johnson
sprang into action and held the
lantern for Mr. Beavers until the
skunk was retrieved. (Johnson
was able to stand it because he
lost his sense of smell in the bat
tle of Belleau Wood.)
By this time perfume de skunk
had permeated all of Melson.
Boys had, by this time, begun
to run frenziedly in all directions
with handkerchiefs covering their
faces.
To an innocent bystander it
would appear that a cops and
robbers battle was in program.
A certain unfortunate received
a long distance call while the o
dor was at its height.
This individual is now in Mil
ledgeville—and not at a G. S. C.
W. social, either.
Finally everything was under
control and the boys were bed
ded down from the front campus
to the peach orchards.
Other than a few minor inci
dents, the night passed unevent
fully.
As Time Goes By
You must remember this . . . .
and so the song rises, becomes
popular, and fades into oblivion.
A like fate awaits the soph
mores in this year’s graduating
class. They have risen, become
popular, but will never fade into
oblivion. They will always be able
to thumb through their annuals
and recall faces and traits of cha
racter that live in their memories.
They are a great crowd. Every
one of them is a swell guy or girl
and will do much in this old
world.
Marvin Acree will be remem
bered for his althletic ability
and being good - looking in a
homely sort of way.
Sara Nell Barrett will be re
called as the original, one and
only, Jersey Bounce Girl.
Hayward Boyette for his gen
eral good-nature and special way
of talking.
When Ferol comes into our
thoughts we will immediately
think of May Queen and Chief
tain.
Broadrick will be remembered
as a very pretty and very quiet
girl who had a knack for getting
things done.
The town girls—Cantrell,
Chance, and White will bring
thoughts of helpfulness and co
operativeness in everything un
dertaken.
Chism will be remembered for
her sense of humor and for al
ways being in a hurry; Cobb for
her wonderful work on the West
Georgian; Crowder as the Phy
sical Ed department’s right hand
woman and because everyone
loved her at W. G. C.; the Dyers’
for being real cute and taking
part in any activity.
Martha Free makes us think of
bells; and Elizabeth Gordon of
"Com”.
Margaret Griffith stands out as
THE WEST GEORGIAN
Queen of Hearts; Gilda Hard
man as a sweet personality with
the beautiful hair.
Dixie Grimsly is remembered
for Press Forum work; Maxine
Harris for his mathematical ab
ility and for just "kidding” ar
ound; Geneva Heath for
"Whitesburg”; Jean Hobbs for
horses and Luthersville; Caro
line Hollingsworth for basket
ball ability; Betty Houston for
"South Gawga”; Lera Hulsey as
the "moonshiner’s sweetheart”;
Louis Hunt for his fictitious
heart ailment; Evelyn Kidd for
always being in a hurry; Merlye
Lee for leadership on the dance
floor; Rachel for being witty and
a good sport; Martha McCurdy
for being the shy and retiring
type!!??; Carolyn Mason for her
interest in everything; Louise
Miller for her "Putnam ability”;
Carl Moon for living in the only
town in Georgia where cotton
grows on Main Street; Hugh
Moss for week-ends with dub
ious results; Harry Nix for get
ting "Cobbed”; Mary Padgett
for her outlook on life; Perk for
being guardian of the C. C.;
Martha Perry for being so, so
quiet; Helen for her nickname—
" Pickle”; Sara Putnam for her
sincerity and for being loads of
fun; Clarice for Clyde and lov
ing "Chaaaatsworth”; Saidee for
"Sody”; Florene Shumake for
her many unsuccessful explor
ations in Chemistry; Stallworth
for town boys and Bremen; Bob
bie Stepp as a natural school
teacher; Jean Styles as a future
farmer (4-H Club); Tillery as
Jo’s roomate and Earl Huggins;
Betty White as a Spanish Fiend;
Frances Wilkes for encouraging
the medical professor; Woolf
and Wright for being such "Lov
ey-dovey” roommates; Yates for
Dyer, trumpet and his attitude
toward women in general.
Just a few litle things to make
us think of our wonderful Grad
uating class. Memories are fun,
you know!

SAYINGS
As petite Gloria Peacock en
tered the gym Saturday night, we
were all reminded of several of
the W. G. C. co-eds current
theme song, "I’ll Walk Alone”.
Were those "Orchids For Re
membrance” you were wearing at
the dance, Mason? That ensign
stays "strickly on the beam” in
our opinion.
☆☆☆☆☆
Dyjer and Haywood make a
perfect picture, don’t they? We
just think they’re "Two In Love”
and other half and Yates—ditto!
☆☆☆☆☆
Jo Garner seems to be Bishop’s
"Candy” these days. We think
that’s swell 'cause they look so
cute "Together”.
☆☆☆☆☆
Our vision must be poor be
cause we certainly have been in
the dark about Hardman and
Miller. But "After A While”—
"We’re Beginning To See The
Light”.
☆★☆☆A-
Those Barretts, who hail from
down Jersey way, seem to
’’Dream Of Long Ago” when
Charley and Bobby were around
—the ship will be in someday,
girls!
☆☆☆☆☆
Crowder, we’re going to "Miss
You” around 'ole W. G. C. next
year, but "We’ll Remember You”
’cause we think you’re a "cold
sport” anyway.
☆☆☆☆☆
"How Sweet You Are”, Mc-
Cue, for it was "Mary” who vis
ited Kidd recently.
☆☆☆☆☆
Those Melson crooners have
been singing "Here Kitty, Here
Kitty”. You weren’t disappointed
Sunday night were you, boys?
Let’s just hope it doesn’t continue
through "Sunday, Monday and
Always”.
"When Johnny Comes March
ing Home”, you won’t need to
continue getting "One Dozen
Roses”, eh, Putt?
☆☆☆☆☆
Here’s hoping the sophomores
will take a "Sentimental Jour
ney” back to W. G. C. next year
and "Till Then”, ’’l’ll Be Seeing
You”.
