BEATING THE TOM-TOM
On October 3, Barracks A and
B met in a thrill-packed touch
football game and fought to a
0 to 0 tie, in the opening game of
the season.
Barracks B won the toss and
elected to receive. Byrd Culp
kicked for Barracks A and Ed
Johnson returned the ball about
ten yards. Barracks B kept the
ball for eight plays before punt
ing on the last down. A Barracks
took possession of the ball on
their own end of the field and
opened a pass attacks which car
ried them down to the shadows
of B Barracks goal before .they
were stopped and lost the ball on
downs.
The rest of the first quarter
was hard fought with both teams
showing good defensive strength.
The second quarter was an
aerial assault with both teams
gaining good yardage on short
and long passes. Jerry Stinson
did most of the passing for Bar
racks A, while Ed Johnson, Leon
ard McKibbin, and Frank Ezell
threw the pigskin for Barracks B.
During the half substitutions
were made in both lineups so that
all boys could play some of the
game.
After a five minute rest the
game was resumed with B Bar
racks kicking off. Bod Anderson,
an end, got the ball after it
bounced to the right and return
ed it to mid-field. The ball swap
ped hands many times in the re
mainder of the third quarter, but
neither teams seemed to be able
to penetrate the other’s defense.
In the last quarter both teams
were determined to score, but
neither woul allow the other to
gain any yardage. Barracks A, in
the closing moments of the game,
intercepted the ball on their own
goal line and were forced to punt
after four unsuccessful downs.
Barracks B took possession ofthe
ball, and after a long pass were
in scoring position but the time
ran out and both teams felt that
they had accomplished something
by not allowing the other to
score. Additional games will be
played all during football season.

on the campus, the Men’s Ath

WOMEN’S SPORTS
Social dancing is th most im
portant form of recreation on the
campus since lessons in smooth
dancing and jitterbugging are be
ing taught by Miss Sturgis.
So much intrest has been shown
in dancing that classes in modern
dancing are going to be organiz
ed. The classes will beheld on
Friday at 8:00, 8:55 and 10:45 in
the gym. The gym classes will be
divided so that one group will
take dancing while the others will
participate in various sports. If
much nterest is shown in these
classes, another will be formed on
Saturday morning and will be
known as the Modern Dance
Club.
Ann Ingram, daughter of Pres
ident Ingram, will be the dance
instructor. She recently studied
under a noted ballet teacher in
Washington while she was em
ployed by the Signal Corps. Hav

Newnan, Georgia, and having
participated in that field at the
University of North Carolina to
instruct the classes.
Other plans for women’s phy
sical education classes include
soccer games, which will prevail
until the hockey equipment arriv
es, and volleyball and basketball
will follow. Basketball season
will begin in the winter quarter.
Interesting Chapel
Program Given
Friday, September 28, 1945,
Dr. Folger spoke to the student
body about the Atomic Bomb and
its possibilities. This is a subject
we all need to think about and
consider the question, "What are
we going to do with this power
now that we have it?”
Tuesday, October 3, a film on
the B-29 was presented by Dr.
Roberts and Mr. Adams. The
Bell Aircraft Corporation pik>-
duced this film during the war.
The film was instructive as well
as interesting to the student body.
Friday, October 5, Rev. Haight,
Chaplain at Furman University,
Greenville, South Carolina, spoke
to the student body. His topic
was "What is Your Ceiling?”
We should all consider his ques
tion.
Tuesday, October 9, Dr. Loud
ermilk, from Ohio, spoke to us
about the F. M. radio and its use
in school rooms and its future
possibilities.

Let s Keep
Things
This Way!
"Well, roll me in butter and salt
me down! Somebody has been
making like Adolph Shicklegrub
er around here,” cried one de
lighted student as she looked at
freshly painted walls, floors, and
furniture of Adamson Hall. Fur
ther investigation revealed that
"something new had been added”
all through the dorm. New tables,
new pictures, new mirrors that
are uncracked and don’t make
you think that biology has caused
you to grow wrinkled and care
worn before your time. Shower
rooms are remodeled and bureau
drawers fixed so that stuff you
put in the top drawer doesn’t
wind up in the bottom one.
And Adamson isn’t the only
place where somebody got hap
py with a paint brush. Like a girl
in the Pond’s lipstick advertise
ment: Melson and the Log Cabin
look better with anew paint job
too. New desks have been added,
and shower rooms, lights, and
furniture fixed so as to make ev
erything more comfortable and
livable.
The barracks, where those all
important men reside, have new
telephones installed, adequate
heating systems, and freshly
painted furniture and walls.
And so, fellow inmates, of this
institution, let’s keep things this
way 'cause the place might man
age somehow to stagger along
after we leave and our descend
ants will appreciate clean walls
and unscratched furniture just as
much as we do. A quotation from
Socrates or Will Rogers or some
body seems to fit here: "Example
sheds a genial ray of light that
folks are apt to borrow, so let’s
improve ourselves today and thus
improve our brats tomorrow.”
And now, best things last you
know, we must mention another
campus improvement —namely
Mr. Speer, our new member of
the English Department. Let’s
try to preserve him for posterity
too, students.
THERE'S SOMETHING
ABOUT A RAT PARADE
Squeals, yells, and hysterical
giggles burst forth from each
dormitory as the freshmen jump
ed into pajamas in mid-afternoon.
Strike three of the clock and
everybody was "out” and headed
for the Ac’ Building where be
labeled "rats” were fast getting
into swing for the "Sentimental
Journey” under the direct and
able supervision of the "most
Honorable Sophomores.”
Whoops! One girl’s up-side
down skirt did a slide and she
did a forced landing. Relax, no
harm was done except that the
first three layers of lipstick were
left on the sidewalk.
To the merry jingle of super
fluous jewelry, the boys did a
lively barefoot hop-step, with
their footgear dangling around
their necks. "So desire the Sopho
mores, so be it done!!!” and the
rat parade was off to town to the
tune of "Glory, Glolry to the
Sophomores.”
Weary arms dropped decorat
ed and over-stuffed suitcases at
blistered feet. But the exhausted
rats were cruelly informed that a
theatre audience awaited an "im
promtu review” at the Carroll
Theatre and that a detour would
bring a tour of the stores and
grim determination would bring
the end of the "little excursion”
all the sooner.
Rat court! Hot dog! Ice water!
But it isn’t. No no, it can’t be
castor oil. That poor girl just
added a little sarcasm to her
Freshman Creed. Heretofore
tired rats suddenly turned indus
trious and the monument on the
square had the best cleansing it
had had since last year. Some
"Where friends meet.”

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1945
rats decided to test their acro
batic (?) skill and rolled peanuts
all ovfer the "court room” floor.
A few rats lost their little broth
er in the rush and "Have you
saw, Hoiman?” was heard on
every hand. Several decided that
there was the time and most out
standing place for their daily ex
ercise and so ran around the
block on their hands and feet.
The people of Carrollton and
vicinity showed true Southern
hospitality by piling rats, rats,
and more rats into every crook
and cranny of their cars, or reas
onable fascimiles thereof, for the
trip back to the "rat holes” of
West Georgia Campus.
Who’d like to make a fortune?
Then discover a successful lip
stock remover and one for shoe
polish as well and fame will be
yours, because next year’s Fresh
men will surely need it.
