'owed iby Finch.
Dobson came out on top in the
race against Crawford for Secre
tary-Treasurer of the Student-
Body.
Steele, Tally, and Bishop were
hot in the race for editor of the

home stretch just a very few
lengths ahead.
Hutcheson won over Cheney to
become new editor of the West
Georgian. He will take over the
duties of office for the publica

Knight came out over Mundy

We believe these officers will
make able leaders next year.

Famous Artist Visits
West Gerogia Campus
(Continued from Page 1)
"F'our Freedoms” Mr. Rockwell
said, *‘l was in the last war and
I wanted to help in this one. I
was too old to fight in service, I
tried posters, but when I heard
the four freedoms emphasized it
struck me as the chance of a life
time, and I took it.”
The 52 year old artist started
illustrating at the age of 16 and
continued developing his talents
until he acquired his position
with Post. He has a wife and 3
sons, he enjoys reading (his hob
by other than painting), likes
good music, and enjoys humor as
he shows in some of his work.
In conclusion Mr. Rockwell
said, "The people at West Georgia
are the same people of Vermont;
handsome men, beautiful women,
and good food.” In all Mr. Rock
well said the West Georgia stu
dents are a "swell crowd”.

SATURDAY. JUNE 8, 194“’
Dining Hall Staff
Enjoys Annual Picnic
Friday, May 18, at 3 o’clock,
two wagons loaded with hay and
laughing boys and girls left the
campus carrying the dining hall
staff to "Soence’s” for its annual
picnic. Mr. Perkins, who drove
our "mechanical horse”, kindly
consented to make the ride as
long as possible. Songs rang loud
and high.
Upon arriving, the girls and
boys made a running dive for the
pool. After everyone was ex
hausted from ducking and being
ducked, thoughts began to turn
to food.
Mr. and Mrs. Ingram, Mr. and
Mrs. Gunn, and Mrs. Payne join
ed us for the picnic supper at 6
o’clock. A weiner roast with all
the fixin’s, punch and cookies, po
tato chips and boiled eggs made
up the meal, topped off by all the
homemade fudge anybody could
eat—thanks to Mrs. Payne.
The supply of nickels for the
juke box was inexhaustible and
dancing was the feature of the
evening.
At 9:45 everybody cheered for
the "good time” and climbed
aboard, singing their way bock to
the campus.
