NEW CATALOGS DUE
this urn
Dr. Smith, Chairman of the
Committee, stated that the new
catalog of the college will be pub
lished this month.
The catalog will be similar to
the one published. It will be of a
different color, the student body
having voted for the color to be
changed, but the design to remain
the same. The pictures inside will
be ones taken here last fall.
The first catalog attracted nat
ional attention. It was the first
one of its kind published. Other
Southern colleges have published
similar ones since then. The Nat
ional Publishers Association is
making a move to make all cata
logs more interesting.
Others serving with Dr. Smith
on this committee are Dean Gunn,
Dr. Folger, Dr. Roberts and Mr.
Adams.

and Joanne Ward were among
this group.
"Mummie, why does L ncle John
eat off his knife?” queried the
little darling.
"Hush, dear!” replied mother

John is rich enough to eat off the
coal shovel if he prefers it.”
"Does this package belong to
you? The name is obliterated?”
"No, that isn’t my package. My
name is O’Brien.”

WEST GEORGIA
STUDENTS PRESENT
STUNT NIGHT
Saturday night, March 9, saw
the curtain rise at 7:30 on “An
nual Stunt Night” with Zeta Sig
ma Pi, sponsor.
First, the Spanish Club gave
a Beauty Parade” which won
much favor.
Next, the Press Forum brought
back some of our earliest memo
ries here at West Georgia in
their, and I do mean dashing,
skit "Where’s Miss Ward.”
“A Shadow Operation” perform
ed by the French Club held the
audience in suspense until the
doctor announced that "It was
only a can, Sir I”
A group of Alphi Psi girls com
pletely convinced the audience
that “Alpha Psi Knows How” to
plan and prepare a meal.
Mu Zeta Alpha’s “Hot News”
brought down the house when
John Bishop blew up the Chem
istry laboratory three minutes af
ter it was reported.
“Doll Shop” as dramatized by
the Dramatics Club proved with
out a doubt that the customer (al
ias Riley Frost) wanted the gen
u-ine, not a novelty.
“Dr. Kure-All” of the Democrat
ic Youth Society was quite con
vincing.
‘Our Faculty,” impersonated by
the choir really gave us an inter
esting viewpoint on some inside
highlights, that is, how Doubles
thinks Sturgis should control her
cardiac muscles, what L. E. Rob
erts thinks about congressmen
and Communism and Dr. Ing
ram’s brilliant solution to the
hand-holding problem—Ride ’em
on a train, etc, etc.
The 4-H Club’s “Scene’s From
the Rat Parade” renewed some
vivid memories and aching feet,
eh, Freshmen?
The last stunt "It Couldn’t Hap
pen Here” presented by the WAA
was pleased to present Betty Hut
ton, Bing Crosby, Sinatra, Har*y
James and his soloist "Kitty”
complete with the WAA Swing
time Orchestra.
The judges, Miss Weaver, Miss
Koontz, Miss Chute, Dr. Doubles
and Dr. Clark made their decis
ions and announced pleaces as
follows: Ist place—Mu —Zeta Al
pha, “Hot News”. 2nd place—
Dramatics Club, “Doll Shop”. 3rd
place—French Club, "Operation”.
4th place—Press Forum, ‘Where’s
Miss Ward?”
Virginia Brooks, representing the
Mu Zeta Alpha received the ban
ner for First Place.
Thanks to the grand work of
all the organizations Stunt Night
of 1496 was a success.
