Under the leadership of Mr. I. S. Ingram, who has been District Chair
man of the West Georgia District of the Atlanta Area Council since Jan
uary 1, West Georgia College is playing a major role in the advancement
of scouting in this section of the State.
Faculty members and students are also aiding Mr. Ingram in cooper-
ation with the local scoutmasters.
Mr. William How, advancement
representative, is on the sponsor
ing committee of the local Cub
pack. This pack has been com
pletely reactivated and is provid
ing a well-rounded Scout program,
for boys between nine and elevtn
years of age.
Mr. Paul M. Petersen, scout com
missioner of the West Georgia Dis
trict, is devoting most of his spare
time to Cup Pack 179, Troop 179,
and Explorer Post 2179, all of Car
rollton. These provide a very coin
ph to program of scouting for boys
from nine to adulthood. It is in
t or.-sllng to note that all those
scouting organizations mentioned
above are sponsored by the Car
rollton Presbyterian Church, which
is one of only four institutions in
the Atlanta Area Council sponsor
a complete scouting program,
and is the only institution outside
loiropolltan Atlanta.
Mr. Hugh Wallace, serving as
committeeman for Troop 179, is
oc ignlng n scouting mural for
their troop room. This will serve
. a perpetual reminder to present
and future Scouts of his interest

picnicking.
President Lovell Roberts empha
sized the importance of each mem

He explained that without the
members' cooperation and their
complete knowledge of the plans
made at the meeting, it would be
impossible for the fraternity to be
of service to West Georgia College
and Carrollton.

trie, all APO members, are serving
as assistant scoutmasters to Troop
197. William Traylor, also an APO
member,' is assistant scoutmaster
for Troop 138, which is sponsored
by the Carrollton Rotary Club.
Asa result of the untiring efforts
of these persons, the membership
in the various branches of the
scouting program has increased al
most one-third locally since the lat
ter part of December. Some of the
major projects contemplated are
the building of a senior Scout base
at Lake Carroll, and the develop
ment of week-end camping facili
ties centered at the APO Lake,
located on the campus at West
Georgia College.
All local units of the Boy Scouts
will participate in extensive activity

VRA Planning Promotion
Of Freshman Interests
Plans made by VRA for the win
ter quarter include special promo
tion of interest towards the Fresh
men in the respect that they will
he the ones who will hold the office
beginning in the spring quarter,
now held by the Sophomores. Dur
ing this quarter and the Spring
quarter the Freshmen will be asked
to take the responsibility of many
of the programs so that they may
gain more experience..
A project soon to be completed
is a mimeographed tabulation of
all the religious books to be found
in the college library, and possibly
book reviews on some of the more
recent books bought by the library.
This type of program w r ill be held
on Wednesday nights.
A recent speaker of the Sunday
afternoon vespers was Mr. F. M.
Chalker, superintendent of the Car
rollton city schools, and a former
teacher at West Georgia College.
His talk on “Smiles” lasted only a
few minutes, but seemed to have
held the attention of all present.
As usual the Voluntary Religious
Association wishes to take this op
portunity to invite all students to
attend the programs given on Sun
day and Wednesday evenings.
Cuban Conducts
Rhumba Classes
Anew class has been started by
Ignacio Perez for all students in
terested in learning or perfecting
their rhumba. It is held each Fri
day at chapel period in the gym
and everyone is invited to attend.
Ignacio was born in Manguito,
Cuba, and learned to rhumba when
he was about 10 years old, with his
sister Mercy. His parents, a teach
er and a plantation owner, encour
aged the two to perfect the dance,
and both were glad to comply with
this wish. Ignacio likes fast danc
ing, but he still hasn’t mastered
the American jitterbug.
Being the only student from out
side the continental United States.
Ignacio felt a little alone but, as he
says, “I learned about true South
ern hospitality at West Georgia.”
The student body has learned
that Ignacio can always be counted
on for a joke, and he is always
smiling. It is felt that a better un
derstanding of our neighbors to the
south has been acquired through
knowing and attending school with
Ignacio Perez.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
Fall Quarter Readings
Show Large Increase
Over Those of 1947
Sanford Library, the most popu
lar place on the campus for cam
pusology, has given statistics show
ing that students have also gone
there for the purpose of studying.
These statistics show that the
heaviest drain on the library wa:
in October, with November and De
cember following, but it must be
remembered that Thanksgiving and
Christmas holidays cut the number
of working days in those months.
The greatest number of books
withdrawn from the library in any
month usually occurs in the Win
ter quarter. The heaviest circula
tion in 1947 was in February, hav
ing a total of 3,238 books. Prior to
1947, .January had the largest cir
culation of any calendar month.
The largest number of books cir
culated in one field, of course,
comes from the reserve book
shelves. Other than the reserves
more books in the 800 section (his
tory and biography) were circu
lated in the Fall quarter of 1948.
more fiction was read in the Fall
quarter of 1947 than history.
In October, the largest number
of withdrawals for family numbers
was in the field of sports and rec
reation.
Comparison of books withdrawn
from the library in Fall quarter
of 1947 and 1948:
Fall quarter of 1947:

Cadenhead to Head
A Capella Choir
In their second meeting of the
Winter quarter, the West Georgia
a’Capella Choir elected Kenneth
Cadenhead president for the ensu
ing quarter. Kenneth, a freshman
from Chipley, Georgia, plans to ma
jor in education. He sings second
bass in the choir, where he is also
a section leader. Kenneth plays
the piano, is secretary of Le Cercle
Francais, a member of Press Fo
rum and the VRA.
Others elected were Vice-Presi
dent, Hill Pope, a sophomore from
Lafayette: Secretary, Elizabeth Bal
lew, a sophomore commercial stu
dent from Marietta; and Treasurer,
Dolores Davis, a sophomore from
Griffin, Georgia.
It is noteworthy that holding an
office in the a’Capella Choir is a
very exacting thing, requiring peo
ple of responsibility and of unusual
ability. The Choir has already re
ceived many invitations from towns
that wish to be included in the
choir’s spring concert tour, and
indications are that they will have
a very full season.
Among the other things decided
at the January 10 meeting were the
times for the sectional rehearsals.
These are as follows:
Basses —Monday, 6:30 p.m.
Tenors —Tuesday, 3:30 p.m.
Altos—Wednesday, 8:50 a.m.
Sopranos —Wednesday, 3:30 p.m.
Full Choir —Monday and Thurs
day, 9:50 a.m.
No powder was ever invented
that could make as loud an explo
sion as the powder found on a
man’s coat lapel.

Super- Duds
By DORIS GRAY
January is a month of many new
clothes brought by Santa Claus
during his recent Yuietlue visit.
Indeed, Santa seemed to have filled
sufficiently the fashion dreams and
wishes for the students of this
campus.
!< or example, don’t you like Fleta
Crews’ red and green plaid skirt,
and Jackie May’s cute green cor
duroy weskit?
B >bby Dozier and Jolvnn Per
kins brought anew iad in shoes to
our campus when they returned
from the holidays wearing mocca
sins with the tops covered with fur.
Contrast these with Jean Morton’s
sleek, sophisticated black suede
with two tiny straps to surround
each ankle.
Barbara Underwood’s brown and
white plaid shortie coat certainly
catches many admiring glances.
Judy Crowder looked petite in
her new black and gold dress at
“rec” last Saturday night.
Mary Ann Penn looks neat and
attractive in her tailored navy and
light blue checked suit. “Adorable”
would be the proper word to de
scribe Perry Joyce Smith’s wine
suit.
Does Hill Pope like his green
and plaid sweater? I should say he
does! It’s his gift from June. Jack
Elder’s aqua and yellow sweater is
pretty, too. And who could help
but notice and like Ernest Gray’s
bright green shirt?
Just wait —if you were not in to
day’s fashion parade—we’ll get to
you yet.
NEWSPAPER CONSIDERS PLAN FOR AYCOCK
HAIL OUTINGS; ADDS TO STAFF MEMBERS
The student newspaper, THE
WEST GEORGIAN, has under
consideration now a plan to make
use of the remains of Aycock Hall
for various club or other meetings.
The structure, once the center of
campus activities, housing the col
lege store, publications office, etc.,
as it stands today is but a hollow
shell of ugliness, or so it seems.
But in the imaginative minds of
several staff members of the news
paper, and to some of the campus
leaders, there were held possibili
ties that the ill-fated building, if
properly cleaned out, might be of
some service to the students. Other
than the clean-up, comparatively
little work, or money, will be nec
essary to carry out the plan. Light
ing can be furnished without a
great deal of difficulty.
Such suggested activities as wie
ner (or marshmallow) roasts,
group singing, movies, amateur
programs, and possibly dancing,
are some of the things for which

Reading Begun On
Dramatics' Selections
The Dramatics Club has begun
readings on several plays, and from
one of these the main play for the
quarter will be eaosen. Mr. Row
discloses that those in the dramat
ics class who do not receive parts
in the three-act play regularly pre
sented to the students and citizens
of Carrollton, will be placed in one
act plays given at me end of each
quarter, which are open to the puo
lic.
At present it seems that the dra
matics class is the most popular
for girls since there are twenty
three boys and only ten girls in the
class.
The Dramatics department is par
ticularly pleased that the Barter
Theater players will be here Feb.
21 in their performance of Hamlet.
The first three hundred tickets will
be sold to the students of the col
lege for fifty cents.
The new stage manager for the
Dramatics Club is Joel Phillips,
who is taking over the job held by
Howard Smith last quarter.
Mr. Row also wished to appeal
to students of the college to attend
more of the concerts presented by
the Civic Concert Series. West
Georgia is indeed fortunate in hav
ing such a group of performers
come to the college at the unusu
ally low rates.
MULES AND MEN
A mule can’t pull while kicking,
This fact I merely mention.
And he can’t kick while pulling,
Which is my chief contention.
—Cheer Up.
the place can be used. At any rate,
the novel idea is intended to stimu
late the improving recreation pro
gram which is developing at West
Georgia College.
Preparation of Aycock Hall for
student use will be made in the
near future by THE WEST GEOR
GIAN staff, as the organization's
project for the coming year.
Five new members were added
to the paper’s staff at the be;,in
ning of this quarter. They are Ash
ley Morgan, Helen Sullins, Barbara
Goon, and Bill Prescott, reporters,
and Doris Gray, Fashions Editor.
Miss Gray replaces Beverly Mc-
Donald, who did not return for the
Winter quarter.
In the only other change of per
sonnel, Earl Haywood, formerly a
reporter, fills the vacant position of
Spotlight Editor, which was held
bv Bill Breed, who transferred to
the University of Georgia after the
first of the year.
