Miss Mary Hutchinson
On Entertainment Series
Presents “Thumbnail Theatre”
The second program of the 1949-
50 Carrol Entertainment Series
was held December 8, at 8:00 p. m.
in the West Georgia College Au
ditorium and featured Miss Mary
Hutchinson in a non-stop, one
woman show entitled, “Thumb
nail Theatre.”
Miss Hutchinson, an expert in
the field of dramatic monologue,
portrayed all characters in the
play and changed from one to the
other behind a screen on the
stcage.
While these transformations
were being made, she continued to
read the lines of the play so that
no time was lost, nor the continu
ity interrupted. The characters in
the play were drawn from contem
porary life or based upon people
Miss Hutchinson has met in her
tours and experiences she has had.
Lecontempor-
In thme play was Julie, a small
town girl in love who thought
that Romeo and Juliet were silly,
one of the few who do not want
to be on the stage. There was also
Daisybelle, the hillybilly gal,
found when the actress lost her
way while driving through the
Great Smoky Mountains.
The program that was present
ed is the same one that Miss Hut
chinson presented last season in
Times Hall, New York City. For
the past eight consecutive seasons
she has toured the forty-eight
states and Canada, giving nearly
one hundred performances in
twenty weeks each season.
LOOK WHO'S DANCING
By Pat Florence and
Lucrete Marshall
“Eeny, meeny, miny, moe;
who’s that stepping on my toe?”
You don’t have to listen to this
refrain, you know. You can do
something about it. Are you?
If you dance well, or if you do
well to dance, you should be in
terested in the accomplishments
of this grace in your fellow stu
dents. We’ll give you a clue:
You can’t dance by yourself (or
haven’t you heard?)
. If you’re one of those privil
eged creatures who manage to
direct their feet into a graceful
waltz or rhumba, you might
lend your time and talents to
a worthwhile cause—namely,
helping someone else to develop
the art.
Miss Jenkins’ Social Science
103 have taken a determined
step in the right direction. A
few explosive exclamations, us
ually amounting to “I can’t
dance!”, prompted Miss Jenkins
to devise a plan that’s not only
teaching members of her classes
to dance, but is also a direct
benefit -toward better social re
lationships between the boys
and girls.
So if you dance, don’t hide
your light. Shine forth and
share it with the rest of us; and
when the big frosh dance comes
around next Spring, we’ll all be
saying, “Look Ma, I’m danc
ing!”

College In Community
New Education Idea
Smith field community, twenty
miles northwest of Carollton, has
formed what is known as the Mt.
View-Garrett’s Chapel Commun
ity Club. Their most recent pro
ject is what they call, “The Col
lege in the Community,” organiz
ed by them with the cooperation
of the faculty of West Georgia Col
lege.
Dr. Roberts and Mr. Pritchard
enjoyed a community party there
in October, after which plans were
made for classes to be taught in
their school by faculty members
and specialists on subjects wanted
and needed by the adults of Smith
field.
Any adult may enroll in courses
given. Some thirty people are now
enrolled. The purpose of the club
is to enrich their own lives
through cooperative efforts and
education. The “College in the
Community” meets twice a month
at Smithfield School Building at
7:30 for two periods of an hour
each with intermission.
The program has been mapped
out as follows:
Friday, Nov. 4—History of Car
roll County, Mr. Ingram.
Thursday, Nov. 17 —Health, Mr.
Peterson and Mr. Easterling.
Friday, Dec. 2—Home Planning,
Remodeling and Redecorating,
Mrs. Smith and Mr. Anderson.
Friday, Dec. 9—Family Rela
tions, Miss Jenkins.
Friday, Jan. 6—Speech, Mr.
Row.
Friday, Jan. 20—Music Appre
ciation, Miss Woodruff.
Friday, Feb. 3—Poetry in the
Bible, Miss Marie Campbell.
Friday, Feb. 17 —The Church ir>
the Community, Mr. Pritchard and
Dr. Roberts.
Friday, March 3—Commence
ment.
Parents who must bring their
children with them in order to at
tend adult classes leave them in a
specified classroom. There the
children are under supervision of
juniors from West Georgia Col
lege who conduct educational pro
grams for children which include
games, stories, and group sing
ing.
Smithfield community, one of
the more forward looking com
munities, is at present competing
in the Georgia Home Community
Improvement contest.
The West Georgian wishes them
much success in the project they
have undertaken.
Officals Say Grades
Gratifying For Term
The offices of the Administra
tion is pleased to announce that
for the most part the mid-term
grades for West Georgia Col
lege students are gratifying.
Some students’ grades fall below
C, but this number is balanced
against those who have been do
ing good work.
The mid-term grades does not
determine the quarterly grade,
and is not recorded on the per
manent record of the student.
It is merely a. yard stick that
lets the student measure his rate
of progress. If he is not putting
out his best efforts, he can im
prove before the end of the
quarter, and if his grades are
satisfactory, he can continue the
good work.
The grades should serve as
an incentive to do the best pos
sible work for the remainder of
the quarter.
ALL I WANT FOR
CHRISTMAS IS—
By PAT FLORENCE
About a week ago, as is my
custom each year, I wrote my us
ual annual letter to Saint Nick.
Yes, ever since I tripped gaily
down stairs on that frosty Christ
mas morning about ten years ago
and found a hacksaw in my stock
ing, I have been writing the old
boy to inform him as to exactly
what I want and have some earth
ly use for.
Since I couldn’t be home this
Christmas in time for our annual
“Stocking-hanging” I asked my
little sister to hang my stocking
for me. This was a very risky act
an my part, I’ll warrant you. The
last time she did such a favor for
me, I came down on Christmas
morning and found to my dismay
that the entire toe had been re
moved from my footwear and that
it was hanging neatly over hers—
empty! Quite a bright idea for a
mere child, wasn’t it? However, I
suppose every family has its “little
Einsteins.”
But to finish telling about my
letter to Santa concerning what I
want this year. I really hope I
haven’t been too extravagant in
my tastes. It was most difficult for
me to decide on any one thing
or small groups of things this year
(but isn’t it difficult every year!)
Unlike most girls who seem to
have every little thing they need,
I, quite on the contrary, need
every little thing I don’t have.
This presents numerous complica
tions when I try to narrow down
the list to a decent point.
After racking my feeble brain
and carefully taking inventory of
al my previous Yuletide gifts, I
decided that this year I definite
ly wanted something different. In
my letter to Santa I said, “ Dear
St. Nick, This year its got to be
different. I do not want a pink
angora sweater, a Queen Anne
dresser set, a Mickey Mouse wrist
watch, a Little Marvel hair dry
er, or an ounce bottle of Manhat
tan Blackout. These are mere
necessities as every red-blooded
American girl knows right well.
This time I want something which
is useless, exclusively ornamental,
revolutionary, and expensive, not
another hacksaw, but something
just as surprising.
Well, since it takes a letter
“chust a liddle” longer to reach the
North pole than for one to reach
lower Slobbovia I got my answer
just this morning. It read:
Dear friend,
I have literally turned the toy
shop inside out searching for an
unusual object like the one you

requested. But in spite of all my
thorough searching, I found noth
ing of such a peculiar description.
But, don’t be disappointed, I send
you this consolation —you already
have such an object—a roommate.
Merry Christmas!
Saint Nick.
After reading that note, I realiz
ed that Saint Nick had really hit
the nail on the head. Maybe you
feel the same way. Anyway, we
add anew carol to our Christmas
repertoie this year—“ All I want
