Skit “Plague Of The
Nation” Takes
Honors Stunt Night
On July 12, at seven o’clock,
stunt night was held in the col
lege gymnasium. The features
were presented by students from
all the counties represented in
summer school and formed into
groups. Before the presentations
the Summer School Glee Club
sang “Climbing up the Mountain”,
‘Now the Day is Over”, and“ Lon
esome Valley”.
First place was taken by the
students from Heard, Franklin,
Fulton, and the Carroll county
day students, with ‘Plague of the
Nations”:
Second place was won by Gor
don, Clayton, Cobb and Ben Hill
counties who presented ‘‘Amateur
Night”.
Haralson, Coohoma, Douglas,
and Dodge counties took third
place with “Heavens Gate”.

MOTHER STURGIS AND
HER CHICKENS
Miss Sturgis finds raising chick
ens a most interesting avocation.
She keeps these chickens behind
Melson Hall and many of the boys
go often to Melson to see these
‘‘slick chicks”.
Biology students will be inter
ested to know that these chickens
are homozygous for pea combs
and black and white feathers. If
successful with these homozy
gotes, Miss Sturgis may try rais
ing a few hybrids.
We students who are always
late for class request that Miss
Sturgis raise a rooster that is
homozygous for crowing in order
that we may wake in time to
meet our eight o’clock classes.
Miss Sturgis has a sacrificial
love for her little ones —she saves
her dessert to feed them. Such
tenderness surely merits a great
er reward than is to be found on
this earth.
DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTEREST OF WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE
WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE. GENOLA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, JULY 16, 1946
President Of Sophomore
Class Speaks In Behalf
Of Jimmie Carmichael
West Georgia was honored the
Fourth of July, to have the Presi
dent of the Sophomore class, La
mar Knight, speak in behalf of
James V. Carmichael, candidate
for governor in the forthcoming
election.
The speech was broadcast over
a state-wide radio hook-up and
later re-broadcast over several
other stations in Georgia.
In his speech he gave the re
sults of the straw ballots held at
the school in the spring quarter
and the one on July Ist. He em
phasized the part t h e Veterans
Club had played in encouraging
veterans and tenn-age students to
register and prepare themselves
with facts so they could vote
more intelligently.
COSTUME BALL HELD IN
COLLEGE GYMNASIUM
On Wednesday, June 26, the
two better halves of Genola’s pop
ulation dragged out their most ap
pealing apparel and after dress
ing in it, of course, marched olf
to the ,“Can You Top This” party.
The event was really an edu
cational exhibition and we found
out many things; for instance
who knew that Mark Hollings
worth was a veteran until they
saw his “Shazam” duds, (alias G.
I. underwear).
Who was the old lady that kept
“Russelling” over the floor,Anne?
A certain boy thought it was go
ing to be a slumber ‘Hall”. Miss
J. Overton and Waldo made a
lovely couple, the latter thinking
it to be a ‘necking” party wore
his own rope—backwards. Miss
Sturgis has an eye for hunting, or
was it a Jack (no not Jack Speer.
I mean a lumberjack).
Ah! ’twas a grand occasion.
Hula girls, ye gods, dolls, Captain
Marvel, women(?), men(?), (well
who knows which was which;
shape certainly didn’t enter into
it. Ask Jackson).
And there was dancing too.
Non - segregation was certainly
evident at this jubilant congrega
tion. Farmers dated gypsies,
gods danced with mere mortals,
and a Duchess conversed with a
maid —about whether or not the
hunter really knew all of that
stuff or just read it off. Perhaps
it was “Double” talk.
The Judges were Mrs. Abbot,
Miss Sinclair, and Mr. Keller.
Their verdict was as follows: Na
dine Ashmore, as a hula girl, took
first prize; Mary Anne Hollings
worth, as an Indian Squaw, re
ceived second prize; and Leonard
McKibben, as Mercury stole the
third prize.

West Georgia is now undertak
ing a building program that will
bring many improvements and
advantages for both the college
and the students. Some of this
work is already under construc
tion, some is in the improvement
stage, and other projects are be
ing planned.
Work is already underway on
the new men’s barracks. This
will be located by the old bar
racks and will house some seven
ty-two persons when completed.
This housing program will enable
many new students to attend
West Georgia that would other
wise be forced to wait.
The Athletic field is being ex
panded and improved to provide
a playing field for all types of
sports. Also under construction
is anew dairy barn to provide
contented and productive cows.
This work is expected to be com
pleted soon.
Anew gas heating system has
been approved for Melson Hall
and work is expected to begin as
soon as material is made avail
able. Two new classrooms for t h e
Academic Building have been ap
proved, but the shortage of brick
is holding this work up.
Much work is being planned.
New buildings and improvements
on the ones now standing will do
much toward keeping West Geor
gia far ahead in the junior college
field for the state.
WEST GEORGIA COUPLE
ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT
Me thinks that there is a rumor
going around that John Q. Public
should know all about. So, if
he’ll listen to “loudmouth” Susie,
she’ll tell him that West Georgia’s
own private Cupid is on the
“Winn’s” again. This time its
the engagement of Miss Frances
Winn, of Douglasville, to Mr. Neal
Windoin, of Mt Zion, Georgia.
All the plans have not been
completed, but the event is to take
place at the home of Miss Winn’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Winn,
on August 8, 1946.
Later the couple plan to go to
Birmingham, where Neal is going
to study at Birmingham Southern
College.
Then they plan to come back
to Georgia for Neal to study Min
istry at Emory University.
To you, Neal we give our heart
iest congrats, and Frances, may
you have all the happiness that
West Georgia knows you BOTH
deserve I Cupid, you’ve done a
sw'ell job-
