SWISH!
The Storm Blows
The WEST GEORGIAN has a
competitor on the campus—A live
ly new sheet carrying the title THE
STORM BLOWS. As the name in
dicates, it is a “brain child” of
Storms barracks.
In one respect it differs from this
publication in that it is on the light
hearted side, chock full of wit and
humor. Slight changes in names are
sometimes used, but this only
serves to make it more enjoyable
reading.
Congrats enow's! You have start
ed something now and it might be
fun to keep up with just what THE
STORM BLOWS.
"Dear Ruth" Presented by
Dramatics Class May 28
By Margrry Greene
“Nothing else can possibly happen.’’ This line from the dramatics
class spring production, “Dear Ruth”, might adequately describe the re
sponse of most of the audience Friday night, May 27, after seeing the
performance of this play.
This two-act comedy written by Norman Krosan was first present-
ed on Broadway, where it had a
long run. Although the Broadway
players had more experience, it is
certain that they never gave a pro
duction that was enjoyed more by
the audience than was the one giv
en by the dramatics class. The per
fectly selected cast gave a magnifi
cent production, and orchids are
the order of the day to all of them.
Special mention should go to
Scott Smith for his excellent por
trayal of Judge Wilkins, the bewil
dered father who found himself
completely engulfed when a young,
unknown army lieutenant arrived
at his home to marry his older
daughter, Ruth, who was already
engaged to a 4-F with a bad back.
Scott was ably assisted as a parent
by Christine Copeland, who gave an
excellent performance as Mrs. Wil
kins, the mother of two very ener
getic young daughters.
Curtis Wigley, as Albert Kum
mer, the 4-F, deserves a special
hand for his remarkable interpre
taton of the suitor who had to sit
not so calmly by while his fiance
was wooed by a soldier who did not
have a bad back.
Harold Higgins, as Lieutenant
Bill Seawright, and Elizabeth Bal
lew as Ruth Wilkins, merit special
recognition for their portrayal ot
the two young lovers around whom
the entire play revolved. Also shar
ing honors with them in the roman
tic spotlight are Reginold Tate, as
Sgt. Chuck Vincent, and Betty
Kathern Harris as Martha Sea
wright, who took the fatal step and
became Sgt. and Mrs. Chuck Vin
cent before the play’s end.
Also giving excellent perform
ances were Maryneil Stephens, who
so skillfully portrayed Miriam Wil
kins, the 16-year-old brat whose
patriotic endeavors landed her fam
ily a big headache and a son-in
law; Colie Rogers as Dora, the color
ed maid, and James Parrish, as Har
old Klobbermeyer, who it seems al
most suffered the same fate as Lieu
tenant Seawright.
An extra large orchid goes to Mr.
William H. Row for his tireless
work as director of this wonder
ful production.
Dining Hall Staff
Has Spring Outing
On Saturday evening, May 28 at
2:00 the dining hall staff and
friends went to Spence’s Lake for
an evening of swimming and a
weiner roast. Each member of the
staff was allowed to ask a friend
to go.
The group left by bus and arriv
ed at the lake at 2:30. Spence’s Lake
has cement walls, partial cement
floor with the rest covered with
gravel and is filled by a running
stream. Some of the group question
ed the name, Spence’s Lake. Per
haps it should be Spence’s Pool, but
the group enjoyed the swim just
the same.
After the weiner roast the group
danced in the pavilion to the music
of the juke box.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
West Georgia Student
Receives Scholarship
Only 30 students in Georgia were
granted NROTC scholarships, and
one of West Georgia’s freshmen
was in the lot. Incidentally, only
2,000 students were selected from
the 35,000 that aplpied in the Unit
ed States. The student to whom 1
refer Is Russell Graves, who is fin
ishing his freshman requirements
this quarter.
Russell will enter Georgia Tech
Tucker High School in Tucker,
Georgia, where his father, A. A.
Graves, is principal. Russell enter
ed West Georgia in the fall of 1948
and has been doing fine work here.
One has to go through quite a hit
of red tape before he can obtain one
of these scholarships. As Russeh
said, jour must first make an ap
plication for the scholarship. The,,
you are given an objective mental
test which is followed by a phys
ical test and an interview. After all
the applications and tests are com
pleted, a report is sent to the State
Reviewing Board and they pick
those students who shall have the
scholarships.
The NROTC scholarship is for a
four-year college scholarship. It
pays all fees, tuition, and books and
fifty dollars is given to the student
per month for room and board.
During this four-year period, the
student is required to make three
summer cruises. After completing
his college education, Russell must
spend at least two years in the act
ive Navy as a commissioned ensign.
Russell was an honor graduate at
this September and will study in
dustrial engineering.
Alumni Holds Annual
Dinner Meeting
The alumni of West Georgia Col
lege held their annual meeting on
June 4 in the colege dining hall.
The Sophomore Class, members of
wnich are soon to become alumni,
were guests at the dinner and short
business session which followed.
Approximately 150 people were
present.
Mr. Tom Loftin presided at the
meeting. Mr. Loftin is from Car
rollton, and a member of the Class
of ’34. Mr. Paul Cadenhead, brother
of Kenneth Cadenheead, a member
of the Class of ’44, welcomed those
expecting to graduate into the as
sociation.
Mr. Ingram made a report con
cerning the results of the alumni
survey. He also discussed the past
and future of the college.
Miss Weaver, chairman of the
portrait committee, announced at
this meeting that the contract for
the painting of President Ingram’s
portrait had been let. Mr. Hugh
Wallace, head of the Art Depart
ment, will paint the portrait, which
will be presented to the college.
Home-Ec Department
Offers New Course
The new course in Home Furn
ishing was first offered this quar
ter. This class was designed for
those who might some day plan a
home and furnish it. This class has
made extensive research in drawing
the plans for building and furnish
ing a house.
In connection with this, they
have visited a local contractor and
building supply firm, have studied
typical house plans, and have dis
cussed the drainage problem at
length. This is especially important
if one is considering building a
house with a cellar. The class de
cided that if you wanted a cellar
you should get a sloping lot in or
der to be sure of good drainage.
Each of the girls has drawn the
plans for a home of their own and
furnished either a bedroom or a liv
ing room. These plans were placed
on exhibit in the sewing room of
the Home Economics Department
from June 1 to 3. One of the girls
who is soon to become a bride did
as her project the furnishing of a
complete for which she designed
and planned the interior decora
tions.
The class designed a variety of
houses, ranging from a modest two
bedroom house to a four-bedroom
house and one two-story dwelling.
The Beginning
Of The End
Each year as young people grad
uate from high school and college
they are reaching mile-stones in
their lives; by leaving school hey
leave many things—friends, habits,
ideas, and sometimes the home and
family. They are out on their own.
Or are they?? Do we ever get away
from the things we learned in
school? Do we forget our friends or
our families? In most cases the
answer it truthfully—lS THIS THE
cases the answer is yes.
In grammar school we made our
first friends without mama’s guid
ing hand. In junior high we chose
the boy or girl we would date. In
high school we made a great many
of our own decisions, and now in
college we are men and women on
our own—or at least we should be.
All of us are reaching a decisive
period in our lives —now is the time
when we decide what we will make
our life’s work —who we will spend
the rest of our lives with—The kind
of person we are going to be. In
fact, we are now, upon graduation,
deciding whether to go on to senior
colleges or stop now and begin our
life’s work.
Yes, we are here —at the cross
roads. Which way shall we go????
We have no way to be certain of
success no matter which way we
choose —How can we tell what will
be best???
I say look in your mind and in
your heart —what do you see? Do
you see a true desire for more
education? Or do you feel that it is
time to begin your business or mar
ried life??
Ask yourself this question and
answer is no, but in all too many
BEGINNING of something wonder
ful and good, OR IS IT THE END ot
ail your hopes and ambitions? You
alone have the answer.
