the second of the All Star Con

ager.
The opera was given in a su
perb performance and the scen
ery and lighting system were re
markable.
The part of Rigoletto was play
ed by Rocco Pandiscio, Metropol
itian Opera Star, whose deep bass
voice sent forth the rich mellow
tones that enchanted his audience.
Jean Dickenson, Metropoliton
THE WEST GEORGIAN
Opera Star, played the part of
Gilda, Rigoletto’s daughter whom
Rigoletto tried to keep from sight
but through a tragic mistake lost
her.
Anthony Marlowe played the
part of the Duke of Mantua. His
beautiful tenor voice was well
suited to the love songs of the
opera. He sought the love of
Gilda but he was not successful.
He also belongs to the Metro
politon Opera Association.
John Gurney, member of the
Metropoliton Association, played
the part of Sparafucile, the as

Dr. Folger Goes
To NewYork
On October 29 Dr. Folger lef;
the third year girls to carry on
their work and boarded the train
for New York. He went as a
representative from West Geor
gia to Horace Mann Institute.
Every year representatives from
twelve schools, picked from all
over the country, meet there to
discuss various problems of edu
cation and plan together ways of
solving these problems.
We are proud that West Geor
gia was selected as one of these
schools worthy of setting an ex
ample for others and we are
proud to have Dr. Folger repre
sent us. His sincere interest in
education and his profound un
derstanding of people make him
truly eligible for the position.
He has related to the third
year students many interesting,
valuable and amusing experiences
of that trip.
It was on this trip that Dr.
Folger met Harvey in person.
Perhaps you’ve been wondering
how the third years were so for
tunate as to have such a popular
character enroll in our class. We
give all the credit to Dr. Folger.
After seeing this six feet two
rabbit in a show in New York, he
became so devoted to him that he
decided to invite Harvey to West
Georgia. Harvey, of course, was
delighted to come and he has ad
ded much interest to our work.
Dr. Folger brought back to us
also a deeper understanding of
the problems that we face as citi
zens and has given us a greater
determination to learn to cope
with these problems ourselves
and to help others solve their
problems.

of Adamson Hall is shattered
one night and even Miss Ward

Margaret Martin, Miss Ward’s

the persperation from her brow

the stairs the unearthly sound be

hears someone weakly chanting,

thumps—97, 98, 99, 100. There,
in the upper hall of dear old
Adamson, is a group of red-fac

Peering out the window of the

this fence cannot be told by the
fence itself, so "Listen, my chil

tale of the milk house which was
magically turned into "The Man

"The Mansion” is now the abode
of one of the most important fig

is composed of his wife and two

The dining hall would surely
feel lost withlout the help of
Tammie and Limmie 8., her

Tammie wasn’t there even tho’
she only sits quietly by and
watches the efficient operations
while waiting for her own meals.
