FASHION FIRST
By LUCRETE MARSHALL
The New Year seems to have
brought new styles to the campus
of dear ole West Georgia. Per
haps Christmas gifts are respon
sible for the change; who knows?
Just before the holidays it seem
ed as if every boy on the campus
had one of those little black der
bies with the bright colored bands.
You could see them everywhere—
on the streets, aroung the campus,
and in the store.
But the men aren’t the only ones
who have fads. Among the girls,
fifteen-inch silk scarfs are very
popular right now. The most ef
fective ones are the same bright
(or light) colors as the girls’ skirts.
For instance, Pat Griffin has a
pale blue scarf which she years
with a corduroy skirt of the same
color. There are many colors and
combinations possible with these
versatile little scarfs.
And speaking of scarfs, Joyce
Stephens has a very unusual print
ed silk one of the regular size. It’s
almost Oriental designs are too
intricate for description, but it is
a lovely scarf.
Lavender blue, dilly dilly. We’re
speaking of Charlotte Parker’s
pretty lavender blouse, and also
of Wade Boggs’ purple tie with a
lavender shirt. Eye-catching, isn’t
it?
Ann Traylor is wearing an at
tractive new raincoat of pale grey
satin. She said Sanat Claus brought
it to her. Coach Welch’s orange
tie with green leaves on it is a
cravat we consider bright but nice.
Monograms seem to be the thing
for boys and girls alike. It’s quite
proper to wear them on anything
from head to foot. The neatest pair
of sox we’ve seen lately is a thick
white pair with initials in gold on
the cuff. The initials were those
of Clara Huckeba. Rueben Tuck
has a gold tie bar with his ini
tials in the center.
The members of the football
team have received their letter
sweaters. The sweaters are bright
red with white letters.
Jeanette Holmes also has a red
sweater, but she didn’t win it play
ing football. Hers was a very spec
ial Christmas gift.
Have you seen West Georgia’s
new shirts? They’re white with a
dark red emblem and they come
in two styles: with a pointed col
lar or with a V-neck. If you have
not gotten yours, why not join
the crowd? They are available at
the college store.
Miss Campbell was very dress
ed up in her new blue and white
dress last week It has a whirling
skirt with pleats all the way
around and a simple bodice which
is very becoming.
Jo Ann Garrett certainly has
unique taste in the matter of jew
elry. If you don’t believe it, take

a look at her pet -lizard. (No, he’s
not real; he’s an ornamental pin).
Miss Crider has a beautiful
striped coat which reminds us
of the Biblical story of Joseph.
Miss Crider’s, however, is of a
red and pink were two colors
much later style.
Have you always thought that
which could never be worn toge
ther? If you have, you are worng.
Elaine Smith has successfully
combined these two colors, and
the effect of her pink sweater with
a dark red skirt was very pleas
ing.
There were three shirts which
particularly attracted attention
during the last two weeks. One
was “Hotshot” Adams’ dark wine
shirt; another was Robert Blythe’s
gray shirt with red, white, and
blue stripes around the sleeves
and across the front. The other
one was a red, yellow, and green
plaid shirt worn by Billy Hall.
Our vote for the best dressed
girl of the month goes to Mar
garet Nixon. She wears a twinkle
in her eye and a sparkle on her
finger.
HIGHLIGHTS OF '49: The fav
orite color in 1949 was red. Per
haps 1950 will be just as bright
. . . The most copied dress of the
year was Rita Hayworth’s wedd
ng dress . . . Hair reached an all
time short, but the picture may be
different by the time 1950 grows
old. Elizabeth Arden is already
advocating longer hair . . . Short
evening dresses gained a wide fol
lowing during 1949, and inciden
tally wc hope they stay.
Heat Versus
Hadacol
w By ELIZABETH ROSS
Pff, srtap, crackle, pop, heeee
Is this unearthly noise the sound
of a left-over from a pep rally?
Is it Rice Krispies? Could it be
Atomic Soap Flakes?
No, guess again. It’s the radia
tor coming on about 9:30 a. m.
exactly at the time when the sun
is beginning to take the frigity off
face of the firmanent. At 7:00 a. m.
when you were running from the
shower to your room in barely
more than nothing, there was nei
ther hide nor hair to be felt of
anything that even slightly resem
bled heat. As sure as the weather
man predicts an unseasonably
warm day, the heat goes on a ram
page and just won’t stop at any
thing short of heat, humidity, and
hair-pulling, on the part of the
poor residents.
It really isn’t so bad until the
lipstick begins to melt and ruins
mama’s favorite vanity set. And
then on those “other” days when
vour pet cologne has a nice firm
cake of sweet smelling ice on the
top.
Now that we have covered the
dormitory freeze let’s move on to
the Ad Building oven. Windows
seem to present little or no relief
to the inmates in the dungeon of
heat and torture. Except, of course,
on the days when teh temperature
has taken a sudden nose dive.
Then, (Heaven only knows how)
the entire heating system goes on
the blink. Radiators refuse to give
even a little sigh and the windows
are frosted over from the blowing
on hands, (seemingly to restore cir
culation to the frost bitten appen
dage).
All in all, I guess it really isn’t
too bad if you are the widely trav
eled person who takes a flying
trip from the sunny shores of
I lcrida to the icy flows of Ice
land in stride and as a matter of
course. But, as for me, give me
heat or give me HADACOL!!
THE WEST GEORGIAN
Oak Mountain
Hears From Its
Former Workers
By CISSIE THOMPSON
All of us know or at least have
heard how throughout the sum
mer months Oak Mountain was the
scene of much activity. People
from all sections of this country
and at least three foreign coun
tries came to work, to give their
time and energy, (and their own
money,) that at least one commun
ity would be a better place because
they were there.
Some things we do today and
tomorrow we forget. Others things
we remember for months. But the
things we remember longest and
the memories that are sweetest
are those connected with some
thing we have done for others.
One does not quickly forget a
j whole summer spent in work, hard
iwork, for the betterment of a
Ismail part of God’s earth. The
letters which have been written
to some of the people here close
ly connected to the work at the
community center give us evidence
of this fact.
The people who stayed at Oak
Mountain last summer were
some of those who signed a pledge
in which they said that they want
ed to spend the summer working
at some such project. They paid
their own expenses, but who can
say how well they were repaid?
Among these people were a cou
ple of Quakers from Pennsylvania.
The friendships they made, the
help they gave, the love they de
veloped for the project and for
the people they met there have not
been forgotten. In letters from two
of them we see that their interest
in Oak Mountain is still alive.
Mrs. Sanderson, from North
Wales, Pennsylvania, writes, “We
have been so glad to hear all the
good reports about the way Oak
Mountain chapel has come along.
And today came the West Geor
gia paper with the article about
working at the mountain. Seems
to me that with so many people
putting their precious time and
energy—not just impersonal mo
ney—into it, the Oak Mountain
Community Center must become
something unusually fine. We
were certainly grateful for the
chance to put something into it
and to get to know all of you.”
From Mr. Sanderson: “We en
joyed Fleta Crews’ Blessings and
Blisters in the West Georgian.
Don’t know who sent it, but our
thanks to whoever did.—We treas
ure very much the messages we
get from the campers .”
This man and woman and many
more discovered that “the work
that makes you happiest is the
work you do for others.” No doubt
they too received countless “bless
ings and blisters” as souveniors
of a glorious summer.
Pei’haps the man who made the
longest journey to work at the
camp is Hagbard Jonassen, a tea
cher in Denmark. His letter ex
presses his sincere hopes that the
Community Center will be a suc
cess. “It was with greatest pleas
ure I got a letter from the Car
roll Service Council telling about
the chapel at Oak Mountain. All
my congratulations and best wish
es for the future.”
By the way, have you ever been
to Oak Mountain? You’ve heard
of it. You know what its purpose
is. You’ve seen notices about
“work days” there. Maybe you’re
one of the lucky ones who have
given a Saturday morning “to the
cause.” If you haven’t been, be
sure to go there one day. Up and
around the long, narrow, red
clay road you'll go. Maybe it’s hot
and dusty—maybe you’re just a
bit sleepy—maybe the sun is shin
ing in your eyes and you really
should be at home studying, but
go on. It’s worth it—honestly, it’s
worth it.
When you stand on a little slope
on one side of the chapel and look
at the white, sparkling roof with
the weathered wooden cross on
top—when beyond and around that
cross you see tiny roof-tops, trees
of assorted shades and shapes and
sizes, rolling hills, red mud, a pen
cil-slim column of smoke, and in
the distance, a blue-gray mist, you
feel strangely at peace.
You cah see in your imagination
children playing on the now rough
ground beneath your feet—you see
men and women holding commun
ity meetings in this building—you
see old and young kneeling in this
chapel thanking God for these peo
ple, the teachers, the Quakers, and
all the rest who made this dream
come true.

MISS MARION CRIDER
believe that every person
should have other interests beside
his profession” was Miss Crider’s
reason for her tireless effort for
and her devotion to V. R. A. As
chairman of the advisory commit
tee to the Voluntary Religious As
sociation, it is her duty to plan
with the Council the vesper ser
vices, chapel devotions, and Re
ligious Emphasis week, and with
her leadership and the co-opera
tion her work merits from stu
dents. these programs are success
ful and meaningful. Miss Crider
assumes this responsibility along
with her regular load of work in
volving teaching mathematics. She
cites as her aim the encourage
ment of the students’ interests in
the campUs activity.
Miss Crider feels very much at
home at West Georgia since she
is a native Carrolltonian. She gra
duated from Carrollton High
School and received her B.S. de
gree with a major in math and a
minor in chemistry from G. S. C.
W. While there she served as treas
urer of the Y. W. C. A. and during
her junior and senior years she
was a student assistant in math
matics. She did post-graduate work
at Emory and received her mast
ers degree from The University of
Georgia. Since then she has studi
ed business administration at the
University of Miami.
Before coming to West Georgia
she taught in the high schools at
Lancaster, S. C., Thomasville, N.

worked with the procurement di
vision at Ft. Mormouth, N. J. After
the war she came home to live
with her father who has the dis
tinction of being one of Carroll
ton’s oldest citizens.
Miss Crider says she chose
teaching mathematics because “I
like it, and it has been easy for
me.” She likes to prove to her
students that they can learn math
and enjoy it at the same time. One
of her favorite expressions to wor
ried students is “Don’t work so
hard.”
Delving into her personality we
find that she likes cooking (she’s
a good cook, too), traveling, books,
plays, playing bridge, and college
students. She is an active member
of the Lit-Mu Club. Her hobby
might be grading papers. Her pet
peeve is people who are just plain
lazy and completely lack interest.
Her ideal student should be in
terested in his work and should do
it well, should have a whole situa
tion and do his work according to
his own needs and requirements.
Miss Crider has all the qualifi
cations of a teacher and a friend.
She is interested in her work and
in the progress of the school. A
friendly smile and an ever-willing
ness to help others are characteris
tic of her. Let the West Georgian
speak for the school when it says,
“Miss Crider, we appreciate you!”
