Choir Adds Male
Tenor Section
There was a great deal of noise
and excitement last Thursday
morning when the entire West Ga.
A Capella Choir met for the first
time this year. A large showing of
talent and good voices has turned
out. About seventy-five people have
passed preliminary tests, but the
parts have yet to be balanced.
Miss Jane Woodruff, director of
choir, was especially thrilled over
having "real tenors again”. She
complimented them on the way
their section came through at the
practice.
The choir has a very good repu
tation at every place it has appear
ed, and it is striving to keep up
this reputation. Perhaps it can be
bettered this year; who knows? At
any rate, we’ll see when time for
tour trips comes around in the
Spring Quarter.
Under the superb direction of
Miss Woodruff, and with the tal
ent she has to use this time, we
Jon’t doubt it will be one of West
Georgias best!
V. R. A. COUNCIL
With nine of last year’s mem
bers back, the Voluntary Religious
Association Council has begun its

iasm. The members have begun

of the campus high through the
medium of Sunday vespers, Wed

Twenty-one new members are to
be chosen to the council in the near
future from application blanks and
personal observations.

November 5.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
New Dance
Band At
West Georgia
Although West Georgia has a fine
choir and plenty of dance enthus
iasts, it seems there haven’t been
enough students to ever form a
dance band and keep it going. Eith
er there weren’t enough musicians,
or they were too bashful to brave
the stares of admiring listeners
while they performed. Anyhow, un
til this year there has been no real
dance orchestra here.
But as "Time Changes Every
thing”, so it has changed the stat
us of W. G. C. from a school with
a lost cause, to one with a wonder
ful group of solidly talented music
ians. Well, it sounds good, anyway!
Getting down to brass tacks,
though, or just plain brass, wood
wind, string, etc., we are going to
have a band this year. The first
practice has been held, and went
over with a bang, but literally. Dr.
Roberts was on hand to cheer the
gang on their noisy but melodious
way, and started things rolling by
contributing to the cause; the
rnuot b >ing the need fo music for
the band. I once heard someplace
that most bands do use music, so I
passed the word along and they
were all up for the idea.
When all get their instruments
here and the organization is com
plete, there should be about fifteen
pieces. We are expecting to hear a
good deal from this group in the
not too far distant future, and wish
them all sorts of luck in the under
taking of this task.
Adamson Fireworks
Adamson Hall is on fire! This
echoed through the hall one night
just before lights out. Girls scramb
led from their beds, rushed to the
lobby and on to the street, only to
find that the commotion was all
caused by the falling of comets and
not by a fire.
Just how the word got around
that the building was on fire is not
known but this case gave an idea
of just what would happen if there
was a fire.
Girls were running around up
and down stairs trying to wake
roomates, who insisted that they
were sleepy. Others grabbed clothes
of all sorts. Some insisted that they
were going to faint, but no one
stopped to find out if they would.
One girl asked what was wrong
and when told that the building
was on fire, she disgustedly turned
to go back to her room and to the
much-wanted sleep. Then she rea
lized what she had been told and
she nearly fell down the steps, try
ing to get out. The confusion was
so great that one girl put on a pair
of shoes two sizes too small and
wore them. When asked to repeat
the performance the next morning
she couldn’t even get her big toe
in them. Another girl carried her
prized possession, her teddy bear
with her, while one girl carried all
her roommates clothes out.
What a sight! The females were
crowded in the street gazing sleep
ily at the sky. They gave a good
showing of how the well dressed
college girl should look at night.
They had their hair rolled on cur
lers, socks, shoe strings and paper.
Some were pale creatures with
cream all over their faces, and were
dressed in pajamas, housecoats,
night shirts, and other unmention
ables.
After the excitement died down,
many left the street and returned
to their rooms, determined to mur
der the person who started the
rumor and ruined a good night’s
sleep.
Books, Bottles and Babble
Gee whiz, what’s happening down
back of the burned building? Could
it be a nylon sale, a free candy
give-out .or what? Why, haven’t
you heard—it’s West Georgia’s new
store. After beating a trail through
the mob, you’ll find gobs of stuff to
eat; soft drinks, luscious milk shak
es, soup, cookies, sandwiches and
ice cream.
In case Mom f orgot to drop in
some toothpaste, or you’ve given
out of paper and pencils, don’t get
alarmed—just take off for the col
lege store and you’ll find the solu
tion to lots of your problems. You’ll
also find text books. W.G.C. stick
ers, postal cards and other necessi
ties of life. It’s really swell to nave
a minature Rich’s or Davison’s so
handy, isn’t it?

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1946
If we let you in on a secret, can
you keep it under your hat? Don’t
breathe a word, but there’s a rumor
going around to the effect that be
fore too long we’ll be getting a
coke machine. We’re really getting
up in the world now.
Although Mrs. Abbot and Mrs.
Williams did a swell job packing
people in like sardines last year,
we’re certain they’re much happier
over the new set up, and I know
we students are pleased with the
new expansion.
So, come one, come all and let's
enjoy life at the campus’ new loaf
ing center.
News Flash! After a quick trip
to the store, we discovered the coke
machine is already installed and is
in operation
