THEY PARKED THEIR
DIGNITY AT THE DOOR
By Doris Alexander
Have you ever imagined Mue
West, Madam Butterfly, Sher
lock Holmes, Eleanor Roosevelt,
and many other “notid” charac
ters gathered under one roof?
If not, you are really missing
something. We witnessed this
Friday night, November 11, at
a character party given for the
faculty by the Pittmans at their
home, at 18 Dixie Street.
We arrived early, so we could
get a good view of the people
as they came in. After we
checked our dignity outside in
a box placed there for that pur
pose, we were met at the door
by Sherlock Holmes and Pris
cilla, alias Mr. and Mrs. Pitt
man. Among the first to arrive
were Dr. and Mrs. Roberts. We
hardly knew them dressed as
Uncle Joe, a Russian peasant,
and Madam Butterfly. Uncle Joe
brought all his secret documents
in pumpkin to keep them from
being stolen. Mr. Ingram
dressed as a Colonial gentle
man, while Mrs. Ingram was
dressed as a flapper of 1923. The
beautiful orchid she wore set
off the exquisite beaded pink
georgette dress. Mrs. Abbot, who
won the prize for the best cos
tume, was dressed as Mae West
in a pink and black dress. She
wore a black hat with rose
plumes, rose gloves, and a black
fan. She was very attractive,
and really looked like Mae
West. Who is that? It looks like
a West Georgia Brave, but upon
close view we find that it is
Ozark Ike and Daisy Mae. Very
clever, Mr. and Mrs. Petersen!
Here we found a French artist
and Carmen Miranda. Such a
combination! Oh phooy—it is
Mr. and Mrs. Wallace! For a
minute we thought we actually
had Carmen Miranda with us.
Mrs. Shannon came as Carmen.
She was very well dressed for
the part. Carmen played the
piano for some of the games and
contests.- we really didn’t know
she was so talented. Are those
bare feet? Oh yes! It is Miss
Sturgis dressed as Muck Finn
complete with fish pole, fish,
worms and freckles. News to us
that I tuck knew the words to
“Lover Come Back to Me”, but
we must live and learn. Miss
Weaver wore the bathing suit
of 1905; and wore a wide brim
hat to complete her costume.
And oh! OUR Miss Campbell!
She was dressed as Mildred, a
hussy, from Of Human Bond
aye. Two and two equals four,

no? Are we seeing (touble? Let’s
clean our glasses and look again.
No, it is only Miss Gibson and
Miss Peete dressed as Toni
Twins! Miss Jenkins came dress
ed as Eleanor Roosevelt, com
plete with fur coat. She can’t
decide whether she really looks
like Mrs. Roosevelt or Bess Tru
man. Mr. Adams came as a
Mexican bandit, while Mrs. Ad
ams was dressed as Yum Yum.
Could it be that we have a
soldier on the campus? . No, it
is Mr. Row portraying Mr. Rob
erts from the play of the same
name. Mrs. Row wore a dress
of the 1890's. Miss Heinley made
;i handsome West Georgia Brave.
Wonder what position she plays
on the* team? Mr. Pritchard came
as St. Francis. Miss Woodruff
made her appearance also, with
a red nose and white petticoat
as little Nancy Etticoat.
As we leave, we stop outside
to recapture our dignity. What
is that? Mrs. Petersen’s shoes
in tlie box with our dignity? We
must be going.
What Ho! The Huntsman!

Doubtless, you have heard of
the exploits of daring and fear
less hunters Daniel Boone,
Robin Hood, and others too
numerous to mention —BUT!
Have you heard the story of
“Fearless Joe” Medcalf?
Now Fearless, as his close
friends call him, lives in a
quaint little abode dubbed “The
Log Cabin” with other rugged
individualists. He lives a calm
and peaceful life until he hears
the yelp of a coon dog or spies
a beagle hound. Then he is off
for the woods. Sometimes with a
gun—sometimes without.
Oli' Fearless took? a notion to
go hunting but witb' no gun, or
(log, it seemed to be impossible.
Did this discourage old Joe? Of
course not. He was off like a
flash with a pillow case in hand,
looking for “big game.”
Without a dog, Fearless had
to trail and tree his own game.
With his nose to the ground and
his hand tight on the pillow
case, he stalked th'e woods.
Suddenly Joe’s ears perked
up, his eyes-got bright, he let
out a blood curdling yell and
was half way up the tree be
fore the poor possum knew
what was going on.
Out to the very end of the
limb, the possum ran with Joe
right at his heels (if possums
have heels).
With his trusty pillow case
and nerves of steel, Joe captur
ed the possum ALIVE.
Despite the struggle put up,
Fearless Joe won out. He took
his possum to the cabin with a
smile of satisfaction (The smile
on Joe’s face, not the possum’s).
This is only one of the many
hunting adventures of Fearless
Joe Melcalf but since this one
happened here, it was capitaliz
ed on. Almost every week-end
finds Joe with his dogs tramp
ing through the woods in search
of rabbits, coons, or any other
creature foolish enough to let
himself be seen by Fearless Joe.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
FASHION FIRSTS
Lucrete Marshall
It seems that nearly every
body is fashion conscious; at
least that’s the impression we
get from our observations of
the people on/this campus. The
Faculty and Sophomore dance!
gave the students a chance to
dress formally for the first time!
this fall, and everybody there
looked very nice. Many of the
boys wore tuxedos (a trend
we’re glad to see) and all the
girls were beautifully dressed.
We’d like to tell you how every
member of the faculty was
dressed, but since that is im
possible, we’ll just say that all
Of them looked wonderful. Even
the gym was dressed.up in gay
Hallowe’en decorations.
Highlights of the dance: Anita
Pope looked like a southern
belle with her bustled dress
and old fashioned hairdo. The
dress was a gay, new off-the
shoulder with touches of laven
der.
Ann Pate wore a lovely aqua
moire dress with a scalloped
neckline, which she made her
self! (Don’t rush, girls, there’s
plenty of time to learn to sew
b fore the next dance).
Regina Smith’s black dress
with trimmings of white eyelet
had one shoulder out, one in.
Verlyn Shugart also wore black.
Hers was a strapless with a
pale blue bow at the back. An
other picture in black was that
of Gloria Hamilton. Her dress
with bands of white lace was
very outstanding.
Other favorite colors were
red and white. There were sev
eral lovely red dresses, but one
of the most outstanding was a
dark red, dicolleti satin with a
short, full, matching cape. Sor
ry, but we were unable to dis
cover the name of the lovely
lady who wore this smart dress.
Louise Boswell was another of
the ladies in red. Joy Prince’s
white gown was set off with a
beautiful purple orchid.
Bobbie Goen wore a beautiful
dress which was certainly be
coming to her. It was a dark
red strapless with an overskirt
of black net. June Thomas and
Elizabeth Black had on strap
kss dresses. June’s was laven
der while Elizabeth's was rose
moire.
The stunning little girl in ice
blue satin was Margie McPher
son. Jo Ann Crowley was radi
ant in a pale blue marquisette
dress with ruffles.
Let’s turn away from the
dance and review briefly some
other campus clothes.
Have you seen Charles Perry's
yellow, green, and brown plaid
shirt? Tom Brown has some cor
duroy trousers in a sea green.
George Daniels’ yellow shirt
with ducks on it must have been
inspired by the hunting season.
Roy Evans’ pale blue suit looks
nice with a pink shirt; and,
speaking of suits, we like Mr.
Petersen’s maroon tie with his
gray suit. Harold Smith has been
wearing a red and green plaid
shirt that is really on the beam.
And how do you like Mrs. Rad
cliff’s new hairdo (the one with
two buns right behind her
ears?)
Turtleneck shirts are a pretty
well established fad by now,
and one that the girls also ad
opted. For example, look at Bil
lie Ann Groover’s yellow one, or
Dee Ette Calhoun’s white one.
Vic Goebel’s gray shirt is anoth
er on this list.
In the geometrical designs de
partment A. C. Boyd’s blue and
white “T” shirt is tops.
“Tootsie” Holmes dressed up
a skirt and sweater with a
green, red, yellow, and gray
plaid scarf which she wore
around her neck and fastened
under a gold belt.
Forecast: The fashion world
is in a dither about the new'
spring styles, hut with the com
ing of chilly winds, you’ll be
seeing more heavy coats and
suits around W. G. C.

Administration Plans
New W. G. C. Catalog
Anew West Georgia College
catalog is now being planned
and compiled by the faculty.
This catalog is to be used for
the 1950-41 and 1951-52 terms.
The West Georgia College
catalog is unique in its size and
makeup. It is planned to give
the high school senior an ac
curate picture of life on the
West Georgia campus, as well as
the necessary factual informa
tion concerning purposes of the
college, expenses and courses
offered. In doing this many pic
tures are used to depict the life
of the students at the college.
This feature of the West Geor
gia College catalog is one that
is seldom included in college
catalogues.
The new catalog will make its
appearance early in the next
year.

ON THE WAR PATH
The saying, “I shot an arrow
into the air, it fell to the earth,
I know not where,” seems to
well illustrate the efforts of the
WGC women toxophlites these
days. Did you know one arrow
landed on the top of the Mecha
nical Drawing Building and
another entered the small door
underneath the “Rec” Building?
Who says the girls haven’t mas
tered “point of aim” technique
. . . Pat Griffin and Peggy
Joyce Smith are the noteworthy
lassies demonstrating outstand
ing skill in the art of handling
the bow and arrow in the arch
ery class. Just watch their form!
The specators watching the
hockey games these crisp au
tumn afternoons are composed
mostly of ardent admirers, and
and we don’t mean admirers
of hte sport! . . . What certain
young lady pulled a “wrong
way Carigan” in the hockey game
last Tuesday? . . . Congratula
tions are due ballerina Joan
Skinner for her help and fine
leadership in the dance field!
. . . Congratulations also to the
rest of you that are brave enough
to take those M. D. exercises!
, , , UGH! UGH!
