ificen ce of
Beating The Tom-Tom
When a suggestion was made
to change the heading of the
sports column, it became appar
ent that most freshmen, some
sophomores, and a few new fac
ulty members aren’t aware of the
significance the Indian mottoes
and symbols have on the West
Georgia College campus.
Therefore, let’s take a brief
look at West Georgia’s historical
background. Long ago, this fas
a favorite camping ground of the
Creek Indians and a fierce battle
was fought in this vicinity. Down
on the front campus there is a
hitching block that belonged to
Chief Mclntosh. There is also
more significance behind the
term "Melson Morgue” than
meets the F. B. Eye; ’cause it
isn’t just sophomore propaganda
that Melso is built over an In
dian cemetery.
So you see, all these Indian
symbols have a special meaning
at West Georgia. The Indian on
"Where friends meet.”
