Braves Take Second
Game With Rome
Community House 58-36
Rome Community gave the
Braves their 13th win of the sea
son in Rome, February 27, to a
score of 58 to 32.
It was the second time this sea
son that the Rraves hod met the
Community House, defeating
them on the local court and re
peating the performance on the
floor of the Maple Street Gym in
Rome.
The game got off to a fast start
with Big Chief Paul Rogers tip
ping the ball to Ray Jones who
passed to Denson Yates for the
first score of the ball game. The
remainder of the first half was
slow with both teams playing
good ball. The score stood at 18
to 17, in favor of the Braves at
the half.
In the third quarter, the Braves
suddenly came to life, laying in
goal after goal to gain a good
lead which they retained through
out the game.
Henderson, of the Community
House, played a good game, while
Yates, Jones, and Rogers showed
up well for the Braves. Gordon
and Reid played an exceptionally
Spring Fever,
Or “Love ’N
Let Love”
Spring Fever: That time of the
year when a young man’s fancy
turns lightly to what a girl has
been thinking about all winter.
This is what Webster.says about
that much cherished season of
the year. But evidently Noah had
never visited the campus of Gen
ola Tech. If he had he might have
seen many sights that would have
caused an entire revision of his
dictionary.
Even a short trip to the boy’s
barracks might prove interesting
in helping solve the problem that
Noah would have faced. First, in
B Barracks, we have Oliver Lind
sey debating who his girl is go
ing to be next quarter. A faint
sigh reminds us that Leonard Mc-
Kibben is still in the race with
Lewis Sherrill for the hand of
Rachel Kelley. Riley Frost is
still clinging to the phone with a
certain girl from Acworth on the
other end, but after all they have
only been talking for 2 hours and
39 minutes. (Take note Mrs. Ab
bott.)

good guard game. The score at
the end of the game was 58 points
for the W.G.C. Braves and 32
markers for the Community
House.
Braves Trim Redskins
In a very close ball game, the
W.G.C. Braves outlasted the Car
rollton Redskins and ran up a 63
to 45 score.
The first half was very close
with the Braves lagging behind
the Redskins many times during
Yates, and Gordon pulled the
the period, while Rogers, Jones,
Braves out ahead at the half by a
score of 28 to 19.
During the third quarter, the
Braves extended their lead and
played a close guard game to pro
tect it. The last quarter was much
closer than the rest with the Red
skins gaining on the Braves until
the score advanced to 63 to 45
when the game ended.
This was the second time the
Redskins and Braves had met this
season and teams were ou to even
their scores. The Redskins beat
the Braves 48 to 45 on the City
Gym floor in January.
Even though romance is blos
soming in B Barracks, we can
still hear the swoons of Sherman
Lindsey in A Barracks as he
dreamily looks toward town
where Syvia Price dwells. Gam
mon is still interested in the tele
phone conversation of Mac Mc-
Coy and Ida Mae Dunn. Who did
not pay his bet, Gammon?
Quiet-! We must pass the room
of Bob Anderson very easy. Bob
is in a “Violet” mood tonight.
Further up the hall J. Howard
Gillard is still reading the letter
Nell Davis wrote him two months
ago.
The barracks are not the only
scenes of spring fever, however.
"The library is always full in the
spring”, says Miss Weaver. “Peo
ple begin to pretend they are ex
tremely interested in books, es
pecially the ones on social con
ditions”.
Ask Miss Ward how she knows
spring is just around the corner
and she will probably say, ‘When
the boys are two hours early for
their dates and the girls are rea
dy, something is bound to hap
pen.”
But, the students do not have
what is called spring fever. They
are only entering the adult age
of life. (Adult—a person who has
stopped growing on both ends
and is now protruding in the mid
dle.)
All the students want to enter
different phases of life: doctors,
lawyers, radio operators, newspa
per men, teachers, and the much
honored job of Professor. (A Pro
fessor is a man who gives advice
to students on the problems of
life which he has tried to avoid
by becoming a professor.)
Most of the students, however,
want to live normal life—if there
is such a thing—and live happily
everafter. So if our faculty is al
armed over the love situation,
think nothing of it. Just remem
ber that they were young once,
too.

During the last war clothing prices rose almost 100 per cent.. •
but they went up even faster and 100 per cent higher after the
Armistice. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that clothing has
gone up only about 46 per cent during this war and most of that
increase occurred before the President’s Hold the Line order
was issued in May 1943. What is ahead for clothing orices this
time ?
X-AM
X-ASPERATION
You’ve seen the face of some
doomed man as he walked those
last steps to the electric chair?
You’ve seen Barbara’s face when
Bailey wasn’t at supper? You’ve
seen a fond mother’s face when
grades were sent home? Then
you can picture accurately the ex
pressions the W.G.C. students are
wearing these days.
Know how hopeless it all must
have seemed to Custer when he
was surrounded by all those In
dians? Can you imagine what a
black outlook Gloria Peacock had
when "Quirty” left? Then you
can sympathize with the mental
state of the average West Geor
gian these last few days before
“Finals”.
Most of the individuals around
here, to whom we attribute hu
man qualities, can be divided in
to three groups. First, that all
too small minority group of gen
iuses. Eager Beavers who keep
up with their studies day by day
and are ready for tests when the
crisis arrives. (What! You don’t
believe there are any such freaks
here? You think it’s just scuttle
butt? Well get a load of Waldo
Jones for an example-)
Second, there’s that in-between
group. These have sort of gotten
behind, but they have a "do or
die” spirit and "though life has
handed them a stab in the back,
they’ll be brave.” They cram like
everything the night before tests,
or the more studious types may
even study the night before the
night before.
Then there is the third group.
These birds have given the mat
ter careful and concentrated con
sideration and have come to this
conclusion, to-wit:
The possibility of my passing a
subject is as unlikely as General
Marshall’s taking the veil, there
fore I think I’ll go take in a good
educational movie. Or—they may
decide, "Well, gee whiz, I’ve
worked TWO Math problems al
ready this quarter so my daily
grades should bring my mark up
to B at least.
Which group are you in? Well
Jeepers, don’t blush —confiden-
tially, I am too. Let’s stop look
ing like the low man on a totum
pole and get down to wrk. Maybe
we can stagger through yet.

LOG CABIN
VACATED
That is hardly a true statement,
and I’m sure if you’d take a look
at the cabin, you’d agree with me
that the Cabin is far from vacant.
But the usual shrill screams, the
pit-pat of tiny feet (that doesn’l
include mine) running to the
phone, and pictures of Van John
son have been replaced by manly
voices, broad shoulders and poor
Van has to give his place of hon
or to Betty Grable. (Harry James
doesn’t know about this.)
Althought there is sometimes a
little mix-up about where to go,
and despite the fact that the girls
still identify themselves as “Cab
in Girls” the arrangement is
working splendidly and every
body is more than glad to have
boys there. They are willing to do
anything in their power to help
out in this shortage—and I don’t
mean housing shortage. They
have only a few requests—don’t
ever refer to the cabin as “The
Barracks”, and please don’t make
it difficult for Mrs. Payne to care
for our pets which we have en
trusted in her care.
Seriously, we are glad to have
you boys occupy the cabin and
trust you will like it as well as we
did. Besides, we like it in the
dormitories.
A man stopped to talk to a lit
tle girl who was making mud
pies. "My word,” he exclaims,
“You’re pretty dirty, aren’t you?
"Yes,” she replied, "But I’m
prettier clean.”
