"Who Wouldn't
Be Crazy?"
By Betty Jean Walker
So you want to know what goes
on during a play rehearsal? Well,
why not look in on one of the dra
matics class rehearsals of “Father
of the Bride.”
Mr. Row has checked to see that
the entire cast is present, so he
takes a seat in the back corner of
the auditorium yells, “Begin Act
I,” and then it all starts. In the
opening scene the father and mo
ther of the bride are seated at the
dining room table, drinking coffee.
There is silence. Mr. Row yells
again, a little louder this time,
“Well, begin!” Mrs. Banks, the
mother, puts down her cup of cof
fee, smiles timidly at Mr. Row,
and then ducks her head and man
ages to say, “Mr. Row, I’m terrib
ly, awfullly sorry, but I seem to
have forgoten my first line.” The
prompter is awakened, the cue is
given, and practice actually be
gins.
Soon it’s time for the bride to
enter. Yo uask why she is dragging
that cheesecloth behind her? Oh,
she’s just using that until the veil
arrives. Ben is supposed to follow
his sister, the bride on the stage;
but, “Where is Ben?” Do you sup
pose he fell on one of the stage
props and broke his leg or some
thing? Or maybe he fell down the
stairs and is unconscious! There
is a maddening search behind
stage.
Suddenly a voice penetrates
through the veil of silence, “Are
you looking for me? I only ran
over to the store for a minute to
eat an ice cream cone.” Mr. Row
sinks even lower into his chair
and weakly mutters, “Carry on,
Act II.”
Deliliah, the maid, comes rush
ing on the stage, furiously pushing
a stick back and forth in front of
her. Don’t laugh, she’s just mop
ping the floor. The only trouble is
she hasn’t been able to find a mop
yet.
At last it’s time for Act III; Miss
Bellamy, the secretary, is supposed
to be typing furiously at her desk,
but “Where is the typewriter?”
Oh, there it is! Mitzi is using it
for a palm decoration for the
wedding until the property mana
ger can rent a palm from the
Florist Shop.
Guess what! Mr. Banks just said
a line correctly and the prompter
fanited in disbelief! I knew there
would be some use for those smell
ing salts. Be sure you stop by for
rehearsal tomorrow!

My New Friend "Mr. Probation"
If you should ever pass Adam
son Hall around 6:15, I’m sure
you’ll see four West Georgia brains
(girls) rushing up the stairs.
Should you wonder where the
fire is, or what their hurry just
happens to be, stick around and
sooner or later you’ll hear them
griping about it.
First there is Wilma, then Mel
ba, Mayfield and last but by no
means least, our friend who just
loves Horses, none other than
“Em.” These four lovely young
ladies are complaining about none
other than “Mr. Probation.”
We can’t say and be truthful
about it that “Mr. Probation” is
new around here. He appears to
be a regular visitor.
For you who haven’t had the
pleasure of meeting him, let me
tell you he is tall, dark and hor
rible.
When you want someone to put
an end to good times just invite
“Mr. Probation” because he is al
ways ready to accept invitations,
especially if there is a good movie
on and you had much rather see
Clark Gable making love to Lana
Turner than to see just lines and
lines of literature or study Gov

Well, you just tee on off to the
•;how or date your latest flame and
I’ll assure you that you’re well
on your way to misery.
Believe me, it’s just loads of
fun to sit in your room and catch
up on studies which you should
have gotten sooner, while your
friends are munching pop corn in
the Carroll or gazing into the eyes
of one of West Georgia’s handsome
young gentlemen, or to be left be
hind when the other cheerleaders
go to Atlanta on basketball trips,
but no, “Mr. Probation” is mak
ing you miss all this fun.
In the final race I think It will
be better and wiser to have studied
rather than have “Mr. Probation”
visit Mr. Row and say “I want this
person on my list next quarter.’
Take my advice and shun this
friends because in the end he is
really no friend at all. I think it
would be nice if we all just forget
there is such a person and work
harder in order to drive him off
our campus and away from our
lives. We can do just this by keep
ing up with our studies. Remem
ber all work and no play makes

On the Clothesline—
Snow and March Wind Put Damper
On Wearing of New Spring Fashions
By Nancy Armstrong
With snow on the ground and
the March wind whistling around
the corner, it’s rather difficult to
concentrate on the new spring
fashions. The brave souls who
dare to leave their dwelling places
adorned in anew spring outfit,
only to make a hasty retreat back
into those warm winter clothes
are to be admired rather than to
be ridiculed. Though at times it’s
hard to realize that spring is just
around the corner, a fact is a fact,
so let’s look into the situation of
new summer fashions.
Seymour Fox, a famous New
York designer, commented on the
spring wardrobe with the follow
ing statement: “It’s not how a
spring costume is made, it’s what
the costume is made of that
counts.” Anew fabric that made
its debut last summer and is pre
dicted to make a comeback this
spring is the useful cotton-s.atin.
This is a glazed cotton fabric which
is finer than chintz. Another new
material now on the market is a
cotton-taffeta fabric. This fabric
stands out like taffeta, yet can be
Anecdotes
Things have been rather quiet
around Adamson Hall lately.
Several nights ago however,
when most good people were in
bed catching their beauty rest,
there was a loud crash. Naturally
we wondered what was happening
so we investigated and found “Em”
again sleepwalking. She had fallen
down the stairs and slowly turn
ed and started up again. We help
ed her back to bed and settled
down once more for what we
thought was a peaceful night of
sleep. Things soon were quiet again
when we heard a noise that sound
ed like the dorm was caving in.
This was none other than Wilma’s
bed falling in. Poor Wilma went
around searching for a place to
spend the remaining portion of the
few hours before dawn. Well, be
lieve it or not, we had peace for
the rest of the night.
Otherwise Adamson has been
rather calm, but in the near fut
ure we are planning a party for
Mandeville girls and the boys on
the campus.

treated as cotton.
Staging a comeback this summer
are the ever-beloved separates.
Not only is this one of the most
economical wardrobes one can buy,
but it is also one of the most at
tractive. With new and different
combinations, one can make some
very attractive outfits. This is
where spring flowers make their
entrance. It’s amazing what a
change a bright spring flower can
make at the neck of a plain white
blouise. Scarfs with flowers made
of the same fabric are now on the
counters of the better department
stores.
"CATS" OF THE ISSUE DEPT:
Have you noticed any strangers
running around the campus lately?
In case you are wondering who
they are, we’ll givo you a clue.
They are the “cats” that have
rinsed their hair. You can buy
rinse either to bring out the high
lights in your hair or to comple
tely change the color of your hair.
They say it guaranteed to make
a different person out of you.
Speaking of “cats,” there were
t rumors flying around about a
group of girls running around the
campus with bow ties with all the
trimmings. Now we know how a
poor fella feels all choked up in
a tie. The next thing you know
the boys will be wearing skirts.
