What’s in a
NICKNAME?
The nicknames on this campus
range from shortened names to
the name of a bird described in a
poem by Lewis Carroll. Some are
without any logical beginning and
others are quite significant. Some
are accepted as given names, while
others are used only among closest
friends. Nicknames are usually the
sign of a friendly person who is so
likeable that a special name just
seems to fit.
Below are a few of the nicknames
given to people at West Georgia
and the reason that name was
chosen:
Eloise “Sunshine” Duke—Because
of her sunshiny smile.
Ignacio “Pinouhio” Perez Most
people can’t remember his name.
Mary “Lulu” Lou Cadenhead —It
is part of her name.
Guy “Jago” Henderson Heaven
only knows "why.
Joe “Sonny” Medcalf —His innocent
look.
Donald “Hawkeye” Hawk —Need I
explain? ?
O. H. “Bert” Chandler—Short for
Hubert.
Laurine “Myst” Wright Nobody
knows.
Carl “Lover Boy” Haywood—Ask
Ann W.
Helen “Hickie” Bettis —What she
calls everyone.
Berlyn “Bert” Gregory —Short for
Berlyn.
Annette “Nette” Roquemore—Short
for Annette.
Tip “Bucky” Mizell—Didn’t like
Tip.
These are just a few examples of
Robert Trent, Annette Tyson,
Lewis Waldrop, Jo Anne Walker,
Lola Walls, William Webb, Juanita
West, Charlotte Williams, Jacx
Williams, Jane Wright, Laverne
Wright* Meredith Wright.

WGC Host to Spring
PTA Convention
The Parent-Teachers Association
of the Eighth District held its
Spring convention on the West
Georgia campus March 30. Repre
sentatives from all eight counties
in this district were present. The
total number of parents and teach
ers here was between 475 and 500.
Mrs. Ralph Hobbs, of Tattula,
Ga., was the principal speaker at
the meeting. Her subject was “A
Challenge to All Parents and Teach
ers.” Other speakers ncluded Rev.
Rogers, pstor of the First Meth
odist Church, Carrollton; Mr. I. S.
Ingram, president of West Georgia
College, Carrollton; Hon. Ebb Dun
can, State representative, Carroll
ton, and Mr. Paul West and Mr.

Mrs. H. J. Copeland, president of
the Carroll Council, which was host
for the convention, wishes to speak
for all those herein, expressing
her gratitude for the hospitality of
West Georgia, and for the box
lunches that were prepared by the
dining hall staff and Miss Ruby
Jenkins’ Home Economics class.
the nicknames used here. Of course
this list doesn’t mention the “Bills”
for William, “Joe” for Joseph, “Bet
ty” and “Liz” and “Lil” for Eliz
abeths, the “Bobbies” for Barbara,
the “Jim” and “Jinny’s” for James,
The “Hanks” for Henry, or the
“Jos” for Josephine; but you can
get the general idea—or at least we
hope you can.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
Super Duds
■By DORIS GRAY
Spring is officially here. Not only
does the calendar tell us of this
fact, but also the super, super duds
we have seen recently in the West
Georgia galaxy of fashion. Cotton
materials and bright plaids or deli
cate pastel colors predominate in
the spring fashion parade here on
our campus.
Fashions glimpsed lately in the
class rooms, library, dining hall,
dorms, or even hanging in closets;
REGINA ALLISON’S light blue cot
ton dress accented by lacy white
flowers attached to the wide ber
tha collar;; CHARLOTTE MOON’S
red checked dress with the eyelet
yolk and three-quarter length
sleeves; DORANNE HUNT'S laven
der dress with big blue bubble dots;
and DARLENE SANDER’S orchid
bolero dress.
Also announcing spring: LIB
BALLEW’S cute lavender dress
with shirred pockets and bib front;
RANDY CHASTAIN’S yellow two
piece dress with many tucks and
tiny buttons; RUTH EARLE’S
white dress sprinkled with multi
colored flowers; LAVERNE RUS
SELL’S new dress of many bright
colors accented by a ruffled neck
line; VERLYN SHUGART’S pink
dress with the pointed white collar
and huge sash bow which she de
signed and made herself.
Everyone will agree emphatical
ly that strictly “all right” is the
word to describe JEANNE HIG
GINS’ light lilac skirt with gather
ed panels accented by dark lilac
ric-rac and NAN JONES’ new grey
and yellow striped chambray with
huge black buttons across the front.
How do you like JANE GREER’S
white and pink candy striped dress?
Or JOYCE MIDDLEBROOKS’ light
brown cotton one criss-crossed with
white linen, or JANE REEVES’ yel
low pique dress accented by scal
lops and big white buttons
Odds and ends which indicate
that summer fashions are here to
stay for quite a while: JANE
WRIGHT’S sheer smoke gray
blouse; BARBARA UNDER
WOOD’S bright yellow sandals; and
TONY McSWAIN’S pink shirt. Bet
that for Easter more of the
will be wearing the new pastel col
ored shirts. We hope so, because
we think they are very pretty.
Next edition will be the Easter
parade and after-Easter fashions.
See you then.
What the world needs more than
anything else is sympathy —sj'in-
pathy between man and man, sym
pathy between class and class, sym
pathy between nation and nation.
