Campus Memorial Once Served as Horse-
Mounting Block for Friends of Indian General
To many people who drive onto the West Georgia College campus,
the monument-like stone protruding above the green carpet of grass to
the right of the entrance is just another marker. Some stop to read the
Inscription. Others merely pass it by.
The memorial, dedicated to Wil
liam Mclntosh, was once a large
piece of granite from which Mcln
tosh had chiseled a horse-mounting
block for the convenience of nis
white friends.
Mclntosh, a half-breed, was one
of Georgia’s most famous generals.
Because of his affiliations with the
white men and the selling of land
along the Chattahoochee River, ne
was killed and scalped by the In
dians. There are several accounts
of his death. As told by the peo
ple who now live about the his
torical site, Mclntosh was first shot,
then hung from a tree which they
point out, is still living. The most
accepted account is that he was
first shot then, while he was still
in his last moments, he was stabbed
c. Alumni on Parade
Among the many West Georgia
College alumni who have made
their marks in life perhaps Samuel
E. Kelly, Jr., class of ’34, is one of
the most outstanding. A well
known Columbus lawyer with the
firm of Kelly & Chappell, Mr. Kel
ly’s success was gained through
years of preparation and work.
For the three years following his
graduation from West Georgia, in
June, 1934 (incidentally* the col
lege’s first graduating class), Mr.
Kelly taught school at Sugar Val
ley High, in Gordon County. He
attended the University of Georgia
in 1937-38, after having attended
the summer sessions at that institu
tion for the three preceding years,
and received his AB degree in
June, 1938.
Mr. Kelly worked two yers for the
Agricultural Adjustment Adminis
tration, then returned to the Uni
versity in the Fall of 1940 to study
law. While a student in the Law
School, Mr. Kelly made quite a
name for himself. He was a mem
ber of Phi Delta Phi, international
honorary legal fraternity, of which
he was president in his senior year.
Also during his senior year, Mr.
Kelly was chief justice of the
Honor Council, considered the high
est honor a law school student can
achieve, Besides being a member
of the Phi Beta Kappa and Phi
Kappa Phi, scholastic fraternities,
Mr. Kelly was contributor, associ
ate editor, and editor of Case Notes

When the horse block was first
moved from the old Mclntosh res
ervation it was placed as a corner
stone of Adamson Hall. In 1935 it
was moved to its present site, since
the shrubbery at the corner of
Adamson had covered the inscrip

Georgia Press Association dedi
cated the memorial, a descendant
of the Indian tribe which put Mc

During the Spring quarter of
1942, soon after the war broke out,
Mr. Kelly was ordered to report to
the U. S. Navy Midshipman School,
in New York. After completing
midshipman training at Northwest
he had been transferred, Ensign
Kelly was assigned to the Wasp,
which was sunk while he was wait
ing for transportation to the ship.
He was then assigned to the heavy
cruiser USS Minneapolis, in the
gunnery department, but was later
assigned to a destroyer after the
Minneapolis was almost totally de-
in one of the Guadalcanal
skirmishes.
Spending twenty-seven months on
the destroyer Ellet, called “Little
E” because of its many months of
operation with the carrier Enter
prise, Kelly attained the rank of
executive officer, and was awarded
eight battle stars, representing as
many naval engagements during
his thirty-six months in the Pa
cific.
Shortly after his discharge from
active duty, in December, 1945, Mr.
Kelly joined the Foley and Chap

He was married April 19, 1946,

Super Duds

February, a month of sweet-i
hearts and valentines, has passed,
but the beautiful fashions—fash
.ons which were seen at the recent
Sweetheart Dance —linger on.
Among those with beautiful
dresses was June White, our queen
o- the dance, dressed in bright val
entine red with a huge billowy
skirt. Betty Ann Washburn was
also beautiful in red. Very appro
priate for this dance was Verlyn
Shugart’s white dress with the red
heart on a full skirt.
Sophisticated describes Betty
Goza’s black taffeta and lace gown.
Oma Doris Vaughn, also in black,
caught the eye in her velvet dress.
Heart-rending was Dolores Davis
in a bronze strapless. Betty Lou
Stallworth and Becky Price, we
liked your pretty pink dresses. Jo
Cromer and Ruth Griffin were pe
tite indeed in white. Mary Ann Cal
laway was adorable in blue, as was
Jane Greer, who also wore blue.
Pat Radcliffe was certainly a sen
sation in her green strapless gown.
Dressed in dignified black was Jo
ann Hamilton. Pansye Cantrell
was very striking in olive green
satin and net. Did you see Lynell
Hudgin’s light blue gown trimmed
in black lace? Ann Clark looked
lovely in bright lavender. Lorene
Garner caught all hearts in her
beautiful blue velvet gown with a
shirred bodice.
Such lovely colors for the many
gowns! How pretty were the dec
orations for the gymnasium! What
a good time everyone had! These
are the things which made the
Sweetheart Dance unforgettable.

Records Classified by
Unique Color Scheme
Translucent plastic phonograph
records, in gay, cheerful colors, will
soon make their first appearance in
record history. Departing from the
varied-size black records, RCA Vic
tor announces anew system featur
ing small, single-size discs for all
classifications of music, with vari
ous categories identified by bright
shades of color. Though only 6 7-8
inches in diameter, the small 45-
rpm record plays up to 5 1-3 min
utes of music—equal to the longest
playing time of conventional 12-
inch discs.
The new color records are seen
as a boon to consumer in classify
ing, storing and identifying the
various categories of recorded mu
sic in home libraries. The color
assigned to each of the seven classi
fications of recorded music repre
sents the psychological and aes
thetic color connotations of the
type of music represented—ruby
red for classical music, midnight
blue for semi-classical, jet black
for popular, lemon-drop yellow for
children’s, grass green for West
ern, sky blue for internationals, and
cerise for folk music.
The new 45-rpm records have
been designed with a raised shoul
der between the playing area and
the center rim, providing air spaces
between the playing surfaces and
the center rims of stacked records.
The record-separating blades are
usually required to force their way

Miss Howard Speaker
At Alpha Psi Meeting
Miss Ora Lee, Dean of Women,
