Women’s Sports
All that screeching coming from
the gym each afternoon for the
past two weeks, is nothing less
than a volleyball game in progress.
A series of practice games started
Tuesday, April 19. After these
games a tournament will be played
and the Captains will choose Frseh
man and Sophomore A and B
teams. Then the first week in May
the Freshman and Sophomore
games will be played.
In addition to the volleyball
tournaments, there will be archery,
tennis and softball later.
Everyone had a chance to sign
up for any or all of these tourna
ments. Extra points will be given
toward the athletic letter or pin.
Much is in favor of the girls this
quarter. Enough new equipment
for softball and archery has been
purchased to make it possible for
more than one tournament to be
going on at once. Also for the first
time in the history of WGC the
girls have an athletic field of their
own.

Business Keys and Cues
Affiliate With FBLA
The Business Keys and Cues
Club met last week and made plans
to become affiliated with The Fu
ture Business Leaders of America.
This organization is sponsored by
the Business Education Associa
tion, a division of National Educa
tion Association.
The purpose of F. B. L. A. is to
develope and train young people as
future leaders in business. This
principle is brought about by the
members selecting a special project
in the commercial field to work on
during the year.
Application for membership into
the local state chapter will be made
as soon as new officers for the year
are elected and a constitution is
submitted.
WGC Defeats Georgia
For Second Time
On Tuesday, April 26, the debate
teams from West Georgia College
went to Atlanta to meet the At
lanta Division of the University.
This was the negative team’s sec
ond encounter with the affirmative
of Georgia; they had met and de
feated them in Mobile at the Azalea
Debate Tournament in February.
The teams debated the national
question of equalization of educa
tional opportunities in tax suppor
ted schools.
Defending the question for West
Georgia were Lois Wall and Joe
Medcalf while the negative team
was Elizabeth Ross and Carl Hay
wood. This marked the first inter
collegiate debate for the new af
firmative team. The judges highly
praised the affirmative for their
presentation and defense of the
question.
Decisions were given as follows:
first debate the decision went to
the University negative team and
in the second the WGC negative
gained the decision.
Mr. C. K. Burroughs, debate
coach, took the teams to Atlanta,
where they visited Hunt Memorial
Park and other points of interest as
well as touring the University Di
vision and meeting the president
and other faculty members.
APO Improves Lake
A furnace for cooking facilities
has recently been completed at the
A. P. O. Lake. Granite was brought
from Hay’s Mill to be used in the
construction of this furnace. Mem
bers responsible for this construc
tion were Bill Leach, Max Prince,
Ashley Morgan, Joe Medcalf, Carl
Haywood, Lane Slaughter, Jack
Butler, and Jack Dempesy, who
was the brick mason.
The foundation for a scenic
bridge has been laid and many
more improvments will be made
before the quarter is over, then the
lake will no longer be known as a
“mud hole”.
Dramatics Class
Chooses Play
The dramatics class has chosen
“Dear Ruth” for its Spring Quar
ter production. The students par
ticipating in the play are as follows:
Judge Wilkins Scott Smith
Mrss. Kilkins.. .Christine Copeland
Ruth Wilkins Elizabeth Ballew
Miriam Wilkins.Marynell Stephens
Albert Curtis Wriglev
Lieut. Will Seawright Harold
Higgins
Sgt. Chuck Vincent. .Reginald Tate
Martha Vincent Betty Harris
Dora (maid) Colie Rogers
Harold Klobbermey er
James Parrish
Miriam, sixteen-year-old sister of
Ruth, has been writing a soldier
overseas, and signing her sister’s
name. Ruth at this time is engaged
to Albert, but the marriage is de
layed when the soldier comes to the
U. S. on leave to propose to Ruth.
Since the soldier, Lieutenant Will
iam Seawright is a most honorable
gentleman, Ruth hesitates to tell
him the truth, and decides to put
things off until his leave is up.
Everything is brought to a head
when Lieutenant Seawright re
ceives orders to stay in the country.
Since the best man always wins, Al
bert had to look for another girl.
WHATS THE USE ?
Man comes into this world with
out his consent, and leaves it
against his will. When he is little
the big girls kiss him, and when
he is big the little girls kiss him. If
he is active in politics, it is for
graft; if he is not interested in poli
tics, he is no good to his country. If
he makes a lot of money, he is dis
honest; if he is poor, he is a bad
manager. If he needs credit, he can
not get it; if he is prosperous every
one wants to do something for him.
If he is religious, he is a hypocrite;
if he doesn’t go to the Temple, he
is a hardened sinner. If he gives to
charity, it is for show; if he doesn’t
he is a stingy cuss. If he is affec
tionate, he is a soft speciman; if he
doesn’t care for anyone, he is cold
hearted. If he dies young, there
was a great future before him; if
he lives to a ripe old age, he miss
ed his calling. If he saves money,
he is a tight-wad; if he spends it,
he is a spendthrift. If he has mon
ey, he is a grafter, if he hasn’t got
it, he’s a bum. So what’s the use?
—Author unknown.
Judge: “Rastus, do you realize
that by leaving your wife you are
a deserter?
Rastus: “Judge, if you knowed
dat woman like I does, you would
not call me a deserter. I’se a ref
ugee!”

“W” Club Sponsors
Square Dance
On Friday night, April 29, the W
Club entertained the student body
with the first square dance of this
quarter. M. T. Fuller and his Mel
ody Mountaineers supplied the
music, and M. T. himself called the
sets. There were four sets of
square-dancing, with social dances
filling the space in between. Deco
rations for the dance consisted of
baled hay, corn stalks and dried
corn on the cob, which was dis
persed freely around the gym by
the students.
Miss Howard chaperoned the
dance until 10:00, at which time
Coach and Mrs. Welch took over.
There were approximately one hun
drd eand fifty studnets present at
the dance, which lasted from 8 to
12 p. m.
Mrs . Welch Recovers
We are glad to see Mrs. Henry
Welch is out of the hospital and
back on the campus. Mrs. Welch is
the wife of Coach Welch and as
sistant librarian. She has been hos
pitaized for several weeks after a
recent automobile accident.
