VOLUME TWENTY-SIX
Drama Club Presents
"On Borrowed Time”
By MARGUERITE JOHNSON
“On Borrowed Time,” a dramatic fantasy, will be pre
sented at West Georgia College on March 2. Curtain time
is 8:00 p. m.
This play, under the direction
of Mr .George Moorman, possibly
will be the most elaborate ever
staged at. West Georgia. It pre
sents a major setting problem,
since it has a double set, both
an interior and an exterior. A
new drapery has been purchased
for the stage, and the stage is
being rewired for the play.
The cast includes Ednaline
Haines, Bill Mills, Marlene
Greene, Jim Thomas, Suzanne
Parker, Jane Cole, Peggy Nunn,
Terry Kay, Jim Tanner, John
Bolend, Wayne King, Wilson
Henley, and Skipper Shannon-
Jerry Richardson is stage man
ager.
Ednalen Haines and Peggy
Nunn play the parts of little
boys. The reason for this is that
college students are easier to
work with than children, and
they are not as prone to come
down with measles the night be
fore the show goes on. Mr. Moor
man explained.
Mr. Moorman is very enthusi
astic about this show, and be
lieves it will be one of the most
beautiful to watch.

"Sadie Hawkins"
Day Rated Success
Dogpatch came to West Geor
gia College! Oh Saturday night,
January 14, the girls on campus
escorted the boys of their choice
to the auditorium for an evening
of round and square dancing that
proved to be fun for all.
Shortly after the dance began,
“Miz Sadie Hawkins” entered
dressed in a robe emblazoned
with her title. Unfortunately, she
was unable to remain at the
dance very long. For those who
were not present, perhaps
thoughts of a “hammus alabarn
mus” would bring the right im
age into mind.
The highlight of the dance was
the Sadie Hawkins race. The
boys formed a line approximate
ly five feet in front of the girls
and when the signal was given,
both lines ran forward finding
their partners as they ran. The
couple who sat down first on the
bale of hay dn, the stage that
served as the throne was the
king and queen of Dogpatch.
Miss Pat Smith and her escort,
won the race and the enviable
title.
