Maurice Jackson has turned his
head away from the hills and is
now gazing toward Virginia.
Could that be a state? Me thinks
it could—you know, a state of
love. Wait till Reba hears this
sad news.
Congrats to Sylvia on the new

matrimony.
Well, at least Buddy was home

He knows where she will spend

Veterans Club
Compiles Statistics
Typical of the interesting and
instructive programs executed at
the Vets bi-monthly meetings
were the facts presented to the
club by Dr. L. E. Roberts on
April 22, 1946. The contents of
the address were taken from a
study of Veteran’s scholastic
achievements here at West Geor
gia, made by Dr. Roberts and
Prof. M. Lb Howell. This research
was conducted in defense of cer
tain false accusations voiced
against Veteran students. The re
sults proved that no indifference
or laziness exists /among Veter
ans here; nor or there any men
who are attending school for the
sole purpose of receiving G. I.
Bill allowances, (of which some
Vets have received none).
The following facts are brought
out in a comparative study of the
scholastic attainments of the vet
eran and the non-veteran students
of West Georgia College for the
winter quarter, 1946.
VETERAN STUDENTS
Average number of subjects
passed per student 3.1
Average grade of group 83.2
Percentage on the Dean’s list
(Grade 87 or above) 22.2
Percentage taking four sub
jects 22.2
Percentage of subjects incom
plete at end of quarter.... 1.8
Per centage of subjects failed- 3.6
NON-VETERAN STUDENTS
Average number of subjects
passed per student 3.0
Average grade of group ..79.1
Percentage on the Dean’s list
(Grade 87 or above) 17.3
Percentage taking four sub
jects ..21.8
Percentage of incomplete
grades at end of quarter.. 3.5
Percentage of subjects failed.. 5.6
Seven of the students from the
veteran group had previously at
tended West Georgia College. It
is of interest to observe the grad
es of these young men before and
after entering military service.
The average grade of these sev
en young men for the quarter be
fore entering military service is
75.3. The average grade of the
seven young men for the winter
quarter, 1946, after some four
years of military service is 86.6.
The interpretation of these fig
ures is left entirely with the read
er.
Always do right. This will
gratify some people, and astonish
the rest. —Mark Twain.

Mr. Weisiger is a great believer

young people should be prepar

nobility.” Indeed, he is a cru

hands of the young people. West
Georgia looks forward to another
visit frm Mr. Weisiger’ because
he understands young people.
Rev. Smith Addresses
Student Body
(Continued from Page One)

great work being done by the
World Student Service Council.
West Georgia students were ask

cause, and, after hearing Rever

importance of giving to this or

The tax assessor’s office had to

The old lady sighed in relief.
"I’m so glad,” she said. "I’ve
heard that winters in Pennsylva
nia are terribly severe.”
