Smooth Sayinad
Have a nice time in Rome,
Frank? I thought Leigh was
from Cleveland.
**********
O’Kelly seems to be doing nice
ly with Virginia Woodruff—be
hind the piano, of course. By the
way, Virginia, you’d better keep
lovey-dovey away from Waldo; I
presume you heard about their
little hitch-hiking episode.
At last it seems that Charles
Smith has settled down to one,
mainly Iris Swanson.
**********
Congrats to our new student
body, and class officers. May you
have a long bloody reign.
**********
Hi-ho hi-ho it’s off to Grant
ville we go, eh, Gillard?
**********
Becky, you’d better head for
the ' nearest highway and start
thumbing. I hear Buck is saving
up for that little home.
**********
Ain’t restriction grand? For
verification of this statement just
ask any number of students, or
should I say swimmers? (It’s a
"Doss”-up—it might be "Goode”
but maybe you cannot "Barr-ett”
eh gals?)
★*★★★★★★★*
On what mysterious mission did
"Shakey-speer” go to in Rome
last week-end? West Georgia
was well represented in Rome
this time.
**★★★★★*★★
Grab a log and hang on, Beas
ley, it seems that "Gay-dog Yates”
is stepping in. We’ll have you in
the bachelor’s club yet.
**********
If Cheney would close her
mouth, and quit clicking her mo
lars for a while, she might realize
that Joe Rives is courting her, in
his own shy way.
★★*★★★★*★*
Have you noticed Barbara
Trundell’s big smile lately? She
must have got that funnel.
**********
T’was, for the student at W. G.,
a sad day not long ago. Beer was
unanimously voted out. Of all
the weeping in Melson.
**★*★★★★**
It seems that the twang of a
steel guitar not only entrances
Bill Martin. Our new editor likes
music too.

Will Pop Rogers ever catch up
on his American History?
It seems that for Byars the
glory of Shorter has faded. Joyce
Conn seems to be taking over.
(Joke!)
Chastain, you had better watch
out, ’cause a coupla’ Melsonites
have their eyes on you!!
Marks, did a softball really hit
you on the mouth or did McNally
wield a rolling pin?
What happened to the promises
made by Knight and Siinonton?
The girls are disappointed, boys.
You can "Counts” on Paul to
do "Wright” eh Grace?
WANTA TRY
IT TOO??
Come on, Terry! Get going, Bet
ty! Hurry, girls! Let’s don’t let
her down. ‘‘Get that hair up,”
urges the forceful voice of man
ager Finch. What’s up? Why, hav
en’t you heard? Miss Jenkins’
clothing class has decided to set
the style for anew (?) summer
hairdo. One day Miss Jenkins
jokingly (?) suggested that all
the girls put their hair way up
high the next day.
"Quiet, see what she’ll say,”
worried one of the girls as Miss
Jenkins made her dramatic en
trance into the clothing lab.
"Good morning, girls. My, how
refreshing you look!” from Miss
Jenkins. The expression on her
face revealed her surprise at real
ly seeing every girl with her hair
up.
Bernice White, with her high
pompadour, only needed a long
skirt to complete her "gay nin
ties” appearance. There was quite
a variety of hair styles, even
though everyone had it up. The
hairdos ranged from plaits to
pompadours with drooling ends.
Some of the girls were a little re
luctant to remove the scarfs that
graced their crowning glory.
Don’t ask why. We’d be afraid
to say.
Again Miss Jenkins’ voice breaks
through the fog, "Your hair looks
very nice. What have you done
to it?”
"Washed it!” Oh-h-h-h don’t
you think that’s enough to quit
on? We do.

THE WEST GEORGIAN
Third Year Class
Enjoys Picnic At
Spence’s Lake
On May 7 the third-year class
went to Spence’s Lake, where
they enjoyed a weiner roast and
dancing later in the evening.
Since many of the members are
off campus teaching this quarter,
the picnic was a third-year re
union for the spring session.
The Class left May 21 for Camp
bell Folk School near Murphy,
North Carolina, where they are
to attend a ten-day course in folk
dances. The students will not
only learn to do these dances, but
will learn to direct them. Folk
dancing is good recreation and
promotes good relationships in
the community.
On May 25, the third-year group
visited the Clay County, North
Carolina demonstrations in soil
conservation, reforestation, and
home improvements. The day was
climaxed by a picnic which was
given inside the gym due to the
heavy rains.
We all have missed the third
year group the past ten days, and
we look forward to their return
to the campus.

Roses to—our graduating class
of 1946—a1l of next year’s new
officers—all our good-bye parties
and gatherings—the wonderful
work the choir has done —the
Gen Pen and Chieftain —our pro

long with us—all the summer va

that is to be had by all (we hope)
—and Pat and Hank.
