Smoot he Sayings
the smooth sayings this summer,
don’t worry, we’ll catch up with
you this fall!
**********
Looks like the love bug has
really bit Simonton. Have you
noticed that gleam in Marguerites’
eye?
Who was the conceited soul (or
should I say soak) who voted for
himself as the most handsome
boy in Who’s Who?
**********
Our congrats to Frances and
Neil. Don’t worry too much Mrs.
Winn. It’s only changed from
Winn to Windom.
**********
Wonder why Overton goes a
long with Doubles and Sturgis on
their dates? Better watch out Dr.
Doubles.
**********
Last week-end was swamped
with old students. Did one Rachel
Kelly come back to W.G.C. or to
McKibben.
**********
That guy Malcom* really goes
all out for Fords. What do you
suppose Howard would say about
that —Huh!
**********
What has Betty Zane got that
the other gals ain’t got that the
other gals wish they had?
**********
If any of you boys want a date
with a girl up town—just ask Mark
Hollingsworth. He can give you
all the vital statistics.
**********
Pat Jackson seems to have all
the girls swooning. Is it his looks
or that sweet melodious voice—or
is it both, Cheney?
**********
“Lil Abner” has a good-looking
car. Huh —Crowder?
**********
Who was the brunette day stu
dent by the name of Betty Smith
that came straggling into Biology
late with her lipstick a bit smear
ed?
**********
Why do the boys and girls en
joy Physical Education so much
more during summer school. No
wonder the poor boys can’t bear
to play tennis when the girls in
sist on wearing shorts to classes.
**********
Who is the brunette from Pel
ton who is seen following Luther
Bridgman and Mary Ann Hol
lingsworth around. Better watch
it Luther.
**********
Why is Red Marks having trou
ble staying awake these days. It
couldn’t be that the Little Smith
girl up town keeps late hours.
**********
Don’t tell me we have a lone
wolf from Buchanan. He was
voted the cutest boy on the cam
pus too. Girls, better get on the
double.
**********
Who is the P. C. veteran from
the cabin who wears his pajamas
to breakfast. Reminds us of the
good old days.
**********
Why is Mac (Me Arver) seen
coming in with paint in her hair.
Couldn’t be that she’s getting the
homestead fixed up for the big
event could it Mac?
Who was the read headed baby
Ben Smith was seen holding on
the bus going to Rome, a few
week-ends ago. Come on Ben,
don’t hold out on your past.
***•••••••
Who has been seen with Lewis
Thomas now that Crowder got
wise.
Could it be that Nell Davis has
anew admirer? Just wait till
Gillard hears about this.
Won’t somebody please tell Bill
Lewis that you aren’t supposed
to take pets to class. Mr. Adams
is allergic to dogs anyway.
Dining Hall News —
And What News!
The time of the afternoon is
five o’clock and already students
may be seen going toward the
dining hall. The people they meet
along the way stare in wonder
over the early hour. There’s no
secret as to why they go so soon;
I shall tell you the reason —or
reasons.
The noise one may hear com
ing from the place may be caused
by either of the staff members
which consists of eight waiter
esses and waiters. Now, that “ser
ious” Doris Duke is no longer
working there, there are no timid
or quiet people on the staff. Not
knowing this jolly, crazy bunch
of cainpusology students and their
slanguage, one might say they
are nuts if one happened to drop
in for a minute of their goings-on.
But don’t worry about missing
out on any of this news(?) just
because you do not understand.
Waldo Jones will be delighted to
set you right on any item that
might occur in this space.
There’s Acree carrying cups
for the next morning. Except for
one occasional outburst of rhy
thm in the form of “You two
timed me once too often” she is a
silent human being.
Wow! What’s that?- Just a
Cannon loaded with silver shoot
ing a fast, straight line for two
tables by a window. With her
bright smiles she keeps her twen
ty male members of the campus
overwhelmed with joy. She usual
ly has business with S.F.C. and
this stands for—well, ask her.
When the chaos of setting the
tables, grabbing silver, breaking
glasses, etc., is almost ended, the
D. H. staff sits down to eat. Waldo
begins on his philosophy of life
while all the staff except Miss
Harrington and “George” take it
in. When the meal is well under
way and all the gossip for the day
has been taken out into the light
and closely examined, in comes
the faculty’s waitress behind a
wail of “How can I stand it? he
isn’t coming back next session.”
They drop the talk and fall to
comforting their friend.
So goes the evening meal! If
dinner is late one may know it’s
because the clock has stopped,
they’re comforting the lovelorn,
the staff is learning jitterbug
steps, or they have “George” on
the spot. Are they forgiven?
By the way, considering the
rise in prices and shortages she
has been faced with, we think
Miss Harrington has given us su
per food this summer.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
Summer School
Glee Club
Organized
It just didn’t seem like summer
school could be complete without
a choir, so with the help of some
of the students, Miss Woodrut!
has selected some very good talent
for singing. There are about
twenty-five members in the choir
and everyone seems interested in
making it a success.
Three songs have been prepar
ed so far by the choir and they
will be sung to the college for the
first time at Stunt Night on Fri
day. These three songs are:
as follows: Bass: Don Hutcheson,
Bailey Murphy, Durwood Entri
ken, Dr. Doubles, Tom Morgan,
Roy Malcom, Mitchel Jackson.
Tenors: Luther Smith, Pat Jack
son, Monroe Ozment, Mr. Young,
Jimmy Overton, Claud Harring
ton. Sopranos and Altos: Glenn
Crowder, Joyce Chalker, Jean
Styles, Billie Cheney, Evelyn Mal
com, Mary Cantrell, Lillian Doug
las, Eloise Helton.
V.R.A News
On June 18, the first Vespers
Service for the summer session
was held. Miss Genevieve Ander
son, former director of religious
education of the Presbyterian
Church gave a very interesting
talk, her subject being “The South
Wind”.
July 5, the Reverend Mr. E.
Nash Broyles, Pastor of the First
Methodist Church, was the speak
er. He gave an inspiring talk
dealing with the significance of
our Independence Day.
The work of the Voluntary Re
ligious Association for the sum
mer is being carried on under the
guidance of the six remaining
members of the council who are:
Vivian Acree, Mary Cantrell,
Chris Eidson, Margurette Harper,
and Evelyn Malcom.
SPORTS
VETS TAKE 11-4
WIN OVER MEN
Opening day at Sturgis field on
June 17, 1946 was a great day at
Genola, Ga. The crowds throng
ed to see the Vets beat the men,
11 to 4.
WORKSHOP DEFEATS
WOMEN 23-12
The Workshop really downed
the Women when they took a 23
to 12 victory at Sturgis Field on
June 24. Crowder was the win
ning pitcher for the Workshop.
MEN REVENGE
LOSS TO THE VETS
Revenging past loss to vets, the
men came back and triumphed
18 to 3 over the vets at Genola
on July Bth.
A business man can’t help won
dering how long a coporation
could stay out of the hands of a
receiver if its affairs were manag
ed by a board of directors com
posed entirely of Congressmen.
VETERAN NEWS
The beginning of the summer
session saw the arrival of many
new veterans (approximately 30
in number), and also the return
of a few of the old timers. Most
of the new men are taking re-,
fresher courses, though some of
them are getting an early start on
the fall session. We welcome
them all.
With the arrival of so many
new men the decision was made
to continue the Veteran’s Club
during the summer session in or
der to aid these new men in any
way possible, and also to provide
some recreation to dispel part of
the gloom caused by long classes,
hot weather and low grades.
To further the recreation part
of this decision, a weiner roast
was approved by the club and
was held on July Ist at Spence’s
Lake. By leaving the college
early, those picnickers who
wanted to were able to get in
some swimming before feasting
on supposedly roasted weiners
with all the trimmings, including
ice cold Coca Cola (obtained
through political pull, no doubt).
As guests of the club, together
with the various dates, were Mr.
and Mrs. Ingram, Mr. and Mrs.
Chalker, Mr. and Mrs. Adams,
Miss Sturgis, Dr. Doubles, Miss
Weaver, Miss Woodruff and Mr.
Keller. After the eats had dis
appeared, there was time for
dancing, and also a try by two
daring souls to “hit the jack-pot”
on the pin-ball machine.
Recreation Roundup
Recreation in the gym after
dinner! One of the hopes of old
students realized the thing that
just couldn’t happen at West Geor
gia has. Recreation held every
night-
The gym has always been mag
netic to all students who have
once passed through its doors. It
seems to be the heart and soul of
the campus. It is the place where
one can find peace and relaxa
tion!?) in the type of indoor
sport they wish.
With the doors open in a friend
ly and welcoming way we are
drawn to it. We pass through the
doors and memories from the
summer session come quickly to
view. The schedule has been full
of fun and inspiration.
Remember the first night when
we sang songs with Miss Sturgis
as our director. That was the
night we discovered that Pat
Jackson could sing and he became
the “campus crooner” and re
member when Clyde Keith, Bailey
Murphy, arid Wayne Hall wore
make-up and Wayne Hall won
the Beauty Contest. And remem
ber the first edition of the Corn
hollow News which was put out
by the old student body. It really
carried the news! Remember the
way the ping pong table was al
ways surrounded by people wTio
were yelling Jackson and Joyce
Camp monopolized the table?
And can you ever forget the
dance with such constant couples
The veterans have also been in
terested in the Georgia political
scene. This interest was mani
fested in the holding of a straw
ballot of veterans, and later, on
July Ist, of the entire student
body. In each of these contests,
Mr. Carmichael was the over
whelming victor. The Veterans
Club was also interested enough
to sacrifice two of its members
to the cause of good government.
The President, Merlin Simonton,
and Lamar Knight did yeoman
service in behalf of the political
rally recently held by Mr. Car
michael in Carrollton. Lamar
even went to the extent of tena
tively tossing his hat into the po
litical ring by making a short ad
dress on the program.
The new veterans whom we
welcome are H. D. Hutcheson, H.
M. King, Jr., George King, W. G.
Lewis, James Overton, Robert
Shelnutt, Ben Smith, Hugh Craw
ford, Luther Bridgeman, James
Burch, Webster Denny, Durwood
Entrekin, Aubrey Gilbert, Mitchel
Jackson, Pat Jackson, Thomas E.
Johnston, Lewis Thomas, Roy Mc-
Invale, Roy Malcolm, Monroe Oz
ment, Luther Smith, Don Lewis,
Robert Woodall, Louis Woods,
Benjamin Smith, William Ander
son and Harold Coleman.
To those new men who have
indicated their intentions to re
turn to West Georgia in the fall,
we applaud your decision. To
those who are here only for the
summer, we hope your stay has
been both pleasant and beneficial.
as Roy Mclnvale and Jean Styles;
Mardell Ford and Roy Malcom,
Betty Hodnett and Alvin Cham
bers or Marguerite Harper and
Merlin Simonton? Remember the
dancing lessons we took and how
we stepped on our partner’s feet
trying to do the steps right? And
what a tough time we had at folk
dancing, swinging our partners
and do si do etc. Miss Woodruff
never lost her energy. How could
we forget the costume ball with
the bubble dancer, hula dancer,
minuet, the Mad Russian and oth
ers? And those swell softball
games that kept us so interested
we didn’t notice how hard the
bleacher seats!?) were. Remem
ber the street dance and all the
shoe leather we wore out? Its a
wonder we didn’t wear the pave
ment out with our fancy steps.
The world-wide slides of Jimmy
Overton showed were very inter
esting, too and many an inspira
tion we received from vespers.
Finally, will you ever forget Stunt
night and how scared you were
when you went on the stage?
It has been fun! So as the
doors of the gym close behind us,
we are really grateful to Miss
Sturgis, Miss Woodruff and the
others responsible for rec.
It’s a grave mistake to think
that the road to the kingdom of
heaven leads through state legis
latures and Congress.
