West Georgia Veterans
Club Sponsors Gala Dance
On the stroke of midnight March
first exhausted but exuberant
couples and stags filed out of the
Carrollton City Gym—and why
were these people so overcome—
simply that the three and a half
hours of dancing preceding this
midnight were the most enjoyable
ever featured in the fair city of
Carrollton.
This festive dance sponsored by
our Veterans Club in an effort to
secure funds for a memorial to the
“Gold Star" vets of West Georgia
was voted by many the most suc
cessful held here in many-a-day.
There were no extravagant deco
rations but strips of red, white, and
blue crepe draped around the
sides of the gym were pleasingly
impressive. The club decided
against a lavish scheme of decorat
ing in an effort to conserve funds
to further their cause.
Music extra-ordinary was both
beautifully and skillfully presented
by Graham Jackson and his orches
tra. Musical numbers offered by
this fine group that drew the at
tention of everyone were “Humor
cake,” Caladonia,” and the cur
rent favorite "Open the Door,
Richard.” Other selections enjoyed
by the dancers were “St. Louis
Rlues,” “Boogie Woogie,” Hoagy
Carmicheal’s immortal "Stardust,”
Cole Porter’s unforgettable “Begin
the Beguine,” and “Night and
Day,” and many other songs of the
present season and seasons gone
by.
Corsages worn by beautiful la
dies were seen here and there. A
few orchids, many red roses, and
additional corsages of much varia
tion added to the color of the spec
tacular affair

sell explained the art of sports
writing.
Saturday’s program began with a
lecture by F. J. Keilholz, Associate
Editor of the County Gentleman.
He discussed agriculture and the
problem it presents in the South.
The next speaker was the Rt.
Rev. Msgr. Joseph L. O’Brien, au
thor of The Life of John England.
Msgr. O’Brien was the guest of the
National Confederation of Chris
tians and Jews, inc. He explained
National Brotherhood Week and
the need of cooperation between re
ligious sects.
The final speaker of the series
was Ralph McGill, Editor of the
Atlanta Constitution, substituting
for Harold L. Ickes. Mr. McGill
made the statement that America’s
external strength depends upon her
internal unity. He explained that to
know a people you need to know
their way of life and their desire
for freedom. He suggested tM + in
stead of sending to Europe our sen
sational journalistic stories, that
we send stories about the people,
how they live, their every-day ac
tions, and something about their
heritage.
He gave a description of the
magazine America that is sent to
Russia. This publication costs the
American people nothing, yet con
tributes probably more than any
other single item furnished by this
country. He told of the des : re of
the Russian people to read this
magazine and to what extent they
will go to obtain a copy. He sug
gested that through such means as
this, the world can come to know
America better.
Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Abbott and other
members of the faculty.
Here and there could be spotted
couples familiar to nearly all. Dr.
Doubles and Miss Sturgis were
seen doing their usual jitter-bug
steps to the faster numbers. Mr.
Oliver and Miss Peete were there
to help add fun to the frolic. Pat
Jackson’s brother and sister were
dancing now and then. Pat’s bro
ther, Mitchell, is an alumni.
Other delightful couples, to men
tion a few seen about, were Sam
Doss and Carolyn Camp, A. J. Hill
and Doris Brannon, Aubrey Gilbert
and Becky Lawler, a student of the
University, Charles Seaton and Nell
Clark, Claud Herring and Carolyn
Bryant, Robert Sherril and Lila
Jean Prater, Freddie Madden and
Virginia Hitchcock, Jim Burch and
Louise Pennington, Lewis Adams
and Betty Hardin, and last but not
least, Lamar Knight and Carolyn
Hityer.
Twelve o’clock came only too
soon. With pleasant memories left,
we look forward to the next
dance.

With “Religion in Life” week
came a lovely tea at which the
faculty, the V. R. A. council, and
the pastors and youth workers of
the Carrollton Churches met. The

services was Dr. Vernon S. Broyles,

Georgia.

ately decorated with daffodils and
greenery.
On each tea plate was a daffodil

Barbara Bishop, president of Vol
untary Religious Association; Eve
lyn Malcolm, vice-president of this
organization; Lee Mundy, secre
tary of V. R. A.; Dr. Broyles, the

Stunt Night
Sponsored By
Zeta Sigma Pi
Zeta Sigma Pi was the sponsor of
the hilarious Stunt Night program
on Friday night, February 28. It
seems West Georgia is bountifully
blessed with cleverness,humor and
talent for entertaining in one way
or another.
To explain: We never suspected
that a wholesale slaughter of a
French Class by Mr. Adams could
be amusing. Nor could we imagine
how inebriation would affect New
som Summerlin. We didn’t know
about West Georgia’s new atomic
invention, or that a Bing Crosby
attends our wonder-yielding insti
tution.
There was one sad event to
mark the occasion, however. That
was the funeral service of the soph
omore. There were lamenting a
plenty with George Daniel officiat
ing.
Then there was the clever skit
presented by the Spanish Club. Ask
anyone how Iris looked when she
turned a little pale, or "pail”. We
could not forget the race between
Van and Sidney, and we're still
wondering how Duffey managed to
keep those kids quiet while the
little lady participated in the
poker game.
At the close of the program, Dr.
Roberts presented the banner for
the best stunt to the Veterans
Club for “The Shooting of Dan
McGrew.” Second place went to
the French Club for “A Typical
French Class,” while third place
was won by Keys and Cues for
“West Georgia’s Atomic Invention.”
Work Progressing
On Art Building
The new arts building is being
prepared for use during the spring
quarter. Engineering drawing class
es will be held in the class rooms.
This will eliminate the crowded
conditions which now exist in the
temporary class rooms, and pro
vide proper lighting and better fa
cilities for this course of study.

So you want to know if you
measure up to the standards of
your ideal guy or gal! Well, I’m not
the type to ask just every single
person on the campus, but I did
get around to just a few.
Their statements struck me as
being rather interesting, so here
they are:
Joyce Jones looked rather sur
prised when I approached her with
my question, and all she could say
was that she really hadn’t given it
much thought, in fact may not even
get married at all.
Carolyn McCurdy said, quote—
“He don’t make much difference.”
Charles Turner hit a more se
rious note by stating that his fu
ture wife should be pleasing to
look at, as he’d have to see her
across the breakfast table every
morning. Also that there should be
continuous love in the family.
Sue Quinton wants to have a tall
man who stubbed his toe when he
v/as a little boy. I’ll leave you to
figure out why that helps the situa
tion.
Pat Patton prefers tall, dark,
good-looking men —they “send” her!
John Acree, although we often
wonder, vows that he’s not hard to
please.
Jackie Croker, our own Miss
West Georgia, wants a man with a
million dollars or so, who won’t
make her go to school any more.

names her preference as being tall,
with dark hair and plenty of mon
ey.
George Little, Jr., wants his wife
to be good-looking, have a lot of
personality, cook (he didn’t say
how, gals!), be lots of fun to have
around, and like clarinet playing.
And last but not least we have
Denson Yates and his statement.
He wants his wife to be first of all
a female. Then, she should have
blonde hair and blue eyes, about 5’
6” tall, and willing to make a living
for him.
Maybe this should give you a lit
tle hope, that is, if it fits your spec
ial case. If not, you can at least
stop trying a futile thing, and take
a long rest.
