Thanksgiving Dinner
Planned November 25th
On Tuesday evening, November
25, as a climax of Religious Em
phasis Week, there will be a for
mal banquet in the college dining
room. This will be our regular
Thanksgiving dinner with turkey
and all the trimmings.
The girls will look, oh, so divine
in their dreamy evening dresses
and the boys all dressed up in
their suits will really look “sharp.”
Boys, this is your chance to ask
your very best girl out to dinner
(and on the college, too).
Day students are invited too. We
really want all the students en
rolled at West Georgia to be sure
to be there. This is one of those
rare occasions when we all get to
be together and we really want
to make it a big affair.
There will be fun, entertain
ment, and inspiration in this our
final meeting of Religious Em
phasis Week. The Rev. Mr. J. Wal
ker Chidsey, of Winder, Georgia,
will be the speaker.
Sand Hill Visited
The Education 201 class toured
the experiment school at Sand Hill
on October 20. Sand Hill is a re
gularly operated county school,
but through agreements of West
Georgia, the study, and the school,
it is an experimental school for
progressive education.
The student teachers and interns
from West Georgia use Sand Hill
for their teaching base.
Mr. Ingram’s education class
explored the grounds and build
ings. The class found evidence of
modern methods of teaching, and
voted the already nationally known
rural elementary school as one of
the best.
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA
Lovely Peggy Sosebee from
Canton, Georgia, was elected Home
Coming Queen by the student
body. Peggy is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. George Sosebee, of Can
ton.
She graduated from Canton High
where she was a cheerleader for
four years. She was also on the
Green and Gold staff, belonged to
the Tri-Hi-Y, and was on the Var
sity.
This 5’ 7” bundle of fun laugh
ingly admits she had rather see
a football game than to eat. She is
an avid Tech fan.
Brown eyes, brown hair and 121
pounds of gaiety are characteristic
of your Sophomore Vice-President,
Peggy Sosebee. When this campus
beauty admitted her pet peeve as
being quiet hour, she jokingly add
ed, “And, of course, cute girls.”
The decision of choosing West
Georgia as her school was in
fluenced by her visit to the campus
one Parent’s Day. “It was such
a pretty campus and so peaceful,
besides I liked Mr. Boroughs,”
she said.
Her hobbies include horseback
riding, water skiing, and swim
ming. She is now a swimming in
structor and plans to teach swim
ming or she plans a creer as an
air line hostess.
West Georgia’s Home Coming
Queen is quite a girl, and her court
is extra nice, too. The six beauties
accompanying the Queen are: La
Ruth Bennett, from Carrollton;
Carolyn Brown, from Winder;
Nancy Armstrong, from Decatur;
Norma Williams, from Buchanan;
Shirley Streater, from Decatur;
Sheila Black, from Oxford; and
Betty Wilbanks, from Canton. The
court was also elected by the stu
dent body on the merits of poise,
beauty and charm.
