★ CLUB NEWS ★
Mu Zeta Alpha
The third meeting of the Mu
Zeta Alpha was held Thursday
night, December 5, with President
Doris Cannon presiding.
Herbert Dobson presented a very
interesting program on petroleum.
He showed several unusual by-pro
ducts of this substance.
W.A.A. Elects Officers
The Woman’s Athletic Association
elected Lucy Dukes president at a
call meeting recently. Jean Beas
ley was elected last year but did
not return so Lucy is to take her
place.
Other officers elected at that
time were June Broome, vice-presi
dent, and Virginia Hitchcock, treas
urer.
They will work with the other of
ficers of the W.A.A. who came into
office last spring. These are Lantie
Barrett, secretary, and Evelyn En
trekin, recorder.
The French Club
To those who are interested in
French life and culture, Le Cercle
Francais is the place to come.
Avery delightful program was
presented to members on December
10 by its program committee, of
which Margaret McWhorter is chair
man. A movie, “Quebec and the
Maritimes,” pertaining to the life
and customs of French speaking
peoples, was shown.
Le Cercle Francias has had on its
program calendar for this quarter
a dramatization by Mauguerite Har
per of a comedy by Moliere who is
one of the greatest comedy writers
of all times. Also an exceedingly
interesting musical program pre
sented by Jimmie Overton, using
the most popular of the composi
tions of Debussy.
Alpha Psi News
The bi-monthly meeting of Alpha
Psi was held in Communications
Center on Monday night, December
2. Only a short business meeting
was held.
After the regular business proce
dure, the yearbook committee com
posed of Sara Fossett, Betty Craw
ford and Jackie Croker, gave each
member her club yearbook. The
books contained the club constitu
tion, the club motto, the club col
ors, and the programs that are to
be given this year. The book was
cut in the form of a house and the
club colors were carried out by the
use of a red cover and white pages.
This was the first time Alpha Psi
had printed a yearbook and the
members felt the committee had
done excellent work.
It is the custom of Alpha Psi to
give the children of nearby McGib
boney School a Christmas party
each year. Plans for this were dis
cussed and the committees were ap
pointed. This concluded all the bus
iness and the meeting was then
adjourned.
The BulVs Eye Club
Into the din of campus activities
has come the newest, latest organ
ization, “The Bull’s Eye Club.” To
archery lovers it is indeed of ut
most importance, for what better
way is there of attaining fame and
glory than that of sending the ar
row straight—or maybe not so
straight—into the gold and thus
finding yourself a member ow the
“Bull’s Eye Club.”
After the name has been put on
the roll, the object is to fill the
blocks to the right with more “bull’s
eye’s” of course, skill and form
and the correct draw and loose is
necessary (as well you know, if
you’ve read Sumptions “Archery for
the Beginner,” but being an eager
beaver and being first in line to get
a twenty-five pound bow (preferred
and easiest to handle) and a spot in
front of the target and arrows with
points helps—it really does.
Those who have gained the deep
admiration of their less lucky class
mates thus far are Hazel Adcock,
Ann Sullivan, Ruthie Ward, Joyce
Hutcheson, Joyce Morris, Jean Pra
ter, Ethelyn Banks, Helen Gurley,
Betty Johnson, Carolyn Camp, Joy
Prince, Betty Casey, Dorothy Har
rison, Jackie Isbell and Peggy
Steele.
KEYS AND CUES
BUSINESS CLUB
The new typing room was the
scene of the initiation of thirty-five
charter members into the newly or
ganized Keys and Cues Business
Club Thursday night, December 5,
1946.
The initiation program was pre
sented by Miss Peete and Miss
Wallingford who are joint sponsors
of the club. The purposes of the
club were read aloud and during a
candlelight service, all the initiates
signed their names to the list of
charter members, after which Mari
lyn Edgeworth and Dorcas Baker
pinned pledge ribbons on each new
member.
After the initiation, a short busi-
THE WEST GEORGIAN
ness meeting was held during
which officers were elected as fol
lows: Dorcas Baker, president; Rob
bie Westbrook, vice-president; Eve
lyn Entrekin, secretary; and Gene
Cook, treasurer.
Refreshments were served during
the social hour from a table lavish
ly decorated in blue and white, car
rying out the colors of the club.
The club members were introduc
ed in chapel Friday, December 6 by
Miss Wallingford. A brief explana
tion was given about the impor
tance of business in the modern
world.
The new members of this club
are as follows: Doris Davis, Carolyn
Camp, Joy Prince, Bettye Crook,

Freshman Class
Elects Officers
November 15 was the opening
date for nominations of those who
desired to run for a freshman class
office. Promptly several candidates
threw their hats into the ring, and
by deadline date for qualifying, at
noon November 18, a total of nine
persons had made it known that
they wanted to be a servant of the
people in a certain capacity.
Looking back we see that David
Jackson, Harl Duffy, Monroe Os
ment and Charles Seaton were,
with the assistance of their able
campaign managers and whole
hearted supporters, carrying on a
large scale and vigorous vote solicit
ing campaign.
Perhaps with only a little less
vigor were the supporters of Harold
Coleman and Margaret Goodson
presenting their chosen candidates
to the voters, Polly Griffin, Harold
Hardy and Bill Anthony. These
candidates for Secretary and Treas
urer carried on not too heated a
campaign and they would let no
one forget that theirs was an im
portant office.
Everywhere were posters and
signs picturing candidates and tell
ing of their abilities. The high
point of the campaign was a rally
held in the gym where they, the
candidates, were (not) permitted to
present their fine points and plat
forms to the voters. The speakers
were puzzled when they found their
listeners not even luke warm. Those
who attended came away satisfied
that they had chosen the right man
to vote for.
When the smoke had cleared
away and the ballots had been
counted it was found that only one
office had been filled. Harold Cole
man had been elected to sit in the
vice-president’s seat and serve the
freshmen in that capacity. To fill
the other offices it was necessary
to have a run-off, since no candi
date had received a majority of the
votes cast. In this run-off we found
Harl Duffy and David Jackson for
president and Hardy and Griffin
for secretary and treasurer.
Politicking was again begun by
the campaign managers to attempt
to sway those still in doubt.
After all votes in the run-off had
been tabulated it was found that
Jackson and Griffin were the win
ners.
Congratulations by the defeated
candidates and all concerned were
extended to the victors, Jackson,
Coleman and Griffin.
What I Am Most Tempted To Do
or
Don t Tell Santa Claus
If Santa happens to read this he
may be checking his list twice to
see who’s naughty and who’s nice.
In a survey the question was asked,
“What one little bedeviled deed are
you most tempted to do?” SOME
of the answers were as follows:
June Canady: Yell for help in a
large crowd.
Betty Turner; Pull a false faint
in the right place at the right time.
Bill Breed: Stand up in a theatre
and ask if there was a doctor in
the house. When the doctor stands
say, “What’s up, Doc?”
Phil Richardson: Call his girl at
1:30 a. m. (Just couldn’t sleep could
you, lover?)
Billie Cheney: Serenade the bar
racks.
Percy Payne: Throw an egg in an
electric fan.

After five minutes of silent wait

the silence with, “I locked Nan

campused, had no one spoken,

ed upon finding herself in class

A Noble Creed
Upon the monument erected to
the late Senator Hoar, who repre
sented the State of Massachusetts
in the United States Senate for 27
years, there is graven this declara
tion of his political faith:
“I believe in God, the living God;
TOLERANCE
★
God grant me this: Upraise the veil
That prejudice may hide,
And let me see in clarity
The other fellow’s side.
Let understanding be my share
And tolerance be known;
Permit my heart to know his part
As clearly as my own.
And when, at last, my reason clear
From prejudice is free,
Give courage blind of soul and mind
To act accordingly.
C. J. Duke, Alumni of W.G.C.
Kilroy: Shave Dr. Robert’s mus
tach off.
Jackie Jackson: Be catty to com
petition.
Evelyn Booth: Sing. (If you have
ever heard her you will know what
she means.)
Maggie Pearl Botts: Call Mrs.
Abbott, “Bud.”
Jeanette Nixon: Make Salmon
go through initiation.
Hubert Palaser: Scream in the
library.
Marion Moon: Take Dr. Doubles’s
shoes off and see if his toes turn
up like his shoes.
Little lodine: Put a tack in Mr.
Oliver’s chair.
Five “Adamsels”: Ride from town
with twelve people. (Or was it
thirteen, Mrs. Shannon?)
in the American people a free and
brave people who do not bow the
neck or bend the knee to any other,
and who desire no other to bow the
neck or bend the knee to them.
“I believe that liberty, good gov
ernment, free institutions, cannot
be given by any one people to any
other, but must be wrought out by
each for itself, slowly, painfully, in
the process of years or centuries, as
the oak adds ring after ring.
“I believe that whatever clouds
may darken the horizon, the world
is growing better; that today is
better than yesterday, and tomor
row will be better than today.”
The dyspeptic traveling man gaz
ed with annoyance at the bilious
looking slab of pie set before him
at theclose of an unsatisfactory din
ner at the “Commercial Hotel.”
“Is it compulsory?" he asked the
waitress. “No, sir,” she replied
wearily, “it’s blackberry.”
For the sake of some lovely wo
man, any real he-man would cheer
fully fight a cageful of wildcats
barefisted, but when it comes to
drying the dinner dishes well,
that’s different!
We learn wisdom from failure
much more than from success. We
often discover what will do by
finding out what will not do; and
probably he who never made a mis
take never made a discovery.
