West Georgia Choir Turns to Thoughts
Of the Busy Spring Schedule Ahead
“In the spring a young man’s
fancy, likely turns to thoughts of
love” does not quite hold true as
far as members of the West Geor
gia Choir is concerned. Instead we
may substitute likely turns to
thoughts of Choir trips! Or pos
sible thoughts of learning such
things as the Hallelujah Chorus,
Allujah, or Jesu Joy of Mari’s De
siring.
Seriously, this season is looked
forward too with anticipation by
every choir member with the aim
in mind to spread good will and
share beautiful music with neigh
boring commuhities and in the
high schools which will produce
the students of tomorrow.
This seasons schedule which ap
pears below will take the West
Georgia Choir into m6st every
neighboring community and a
highlight of the program of acti
vities will be the concert to be
given at the Warm Springs Foun

Mr. Butler Gives
Newspaper Tips
By Shirley Streater
The staff of the West Georgian
and of the Chieftain met March 4
with Professor Tyus Butler, from
the University of Georgia School
of Journalism. Mr. Butler discuss
ed the problems of writing for a
college newspaper and of make
up and the placing of copy. He said
the main thing to stress in a news
paper is contrast. In achieving
contrast he suggested the use of
italics, box headlines, and light
faced prints.
He pointed out several things to
avoid in printing the front page.
Such things include: tombstoning,
which is placing headlines parallel
to each other; the placing of a box
story next to the cut; using too
long stoires on the front page.
Avoid putting headlines on the
fold, avoid too much display, and
avoid using stories without head
lines. Thees things all go into the
make-up of a good paper. Another
thing that also goes into a good
paper are items and stories of in
terest to and about the student
and their school.
Mr. Butler gave us many point
ers on paragraph breaks, the type
of paper, the use of different types
of facing. He told us that headlines
show action, headlines use present
tense or pass tense and active
voice instead of passive voice.
Mr. Butler gave us an opportu
nity to ask questions, which were
both helpful and beneficial.

Furniture Is Built
In Mr. Wallace's Class
At the first of the quarter in
Art 151, Mr. Wallace placed the
simple problem of making a piece
of furniture of simple lines from
wood and metal before his class.
The procedure for making the
furniture was as follows:
1. Choose type of wood and metal
—plywood and iron rods chosen.
2. Make a scale of finished pro
duct —1 inch—l foot.
3. Draw pattern on paper, then
on wood and saw—electric saw us
ed.
4. Bend iron rods Ic desired
shape—a vice used.
5. Put wood and metal together
—soldering and screws used.
6. Paint wood —coats used.
The finished products were a
table by Emily Rice, who was
greeted, as she showed Mr. Wal
lace her finished pi’oduct, “now
make an ash tray to sit on the
table;” a magazine rack by Chris
Lipscomb, floating cOaf and pants
rack by Ray Mclntosh, corner
desk by Winfred Spruell, and a
shoe rack by Libby Jo Little.
Who knows but that their ex
perience in Art 151 may make one
of them a millionaire in the not
so very distant future!

May Day Will
Be Wild Success
May Day will undoubtedly be a
wild success, or at least wild! It
can’t help but be, you ought to
see those dancers that are all lined
up.
The first day the “fortunate”
boys were permitted to join the
girls in their practicing, Miss Stur
gis calmly asked the girls to show
the boys the dances which were
to be used. Now the girls had been
practicing for only one quarter and
as the first record got underway
one bewildered girl wailed, “Miss
Sturgis, this is the one we don’t
know.” Then the second one was
started and another fair female
piped up with “Miss Sturgis, this
is the one we don’t know!” Thus
goes May Day practice! The boys
were highly amused at the confu
sion of the girls but their time
will come.
Miss Sturgis thinks one of the
basic ideas of this program is for
the lines to be even, the girls’ and
boys’ lines! Now the girls, being
very conscientious, keep their eyes
glued on their line but this proves
fatal. They run into their poor un
suspecting partners and when the
i boys leave they have plenty of
color, even if it is blue! Nothing
dull about this class!
j Not only all this but you watch
. those confederate beards come out!
The boys are some more soldiers
and this is one war they don’t in
tend to lose!
