Tennessee Williams, who first
won success with the memor
able “Glass Menagerie,” has
developed the theme of the fall
en angel along completely new
lines in “A Streetcar Named
Desire,” and has done it with
all the tragic beauty that is
symbolized by the magnolia.
Williams draws a delicate par
allel to the early blooming
flower of the South which, once
fallen, contaminates all
h touches with quick decay.

Special Service
For The President
By MARILYN PAYNE
The day of official mourning for the late President John F.
Kennedy was observed by West Georgia College students with a
simple but impressive ceremony.
On Monday, November 25, at the 10 o’clock hour before the
funeral service, students gathered to hear appropriate words
spoken in memory of the slain President by Dr. Emory Holland,
President James E. Boyd, and the Rev. Don Harrison, the cur
rent college chaplain, and June Green, Inter-Faith Council
President.
The ceremony, held on the
front campus around the
campus flag staff, began with
the flag-raising service and
the singing of “The Star Span
gled Banner.”
Under the half-staffed flag,
Jim Neville, A Phi O president,
introduced June Green, presi
dent of the Interfaith Coun
cil, who gave a brief and in
spiring talk.
Following this, Dr. Emory
Holland, dean of students,
stressed the gravity of the as
sassination of the nation’s dy
namic leader.
Carrying over this same idea
of the significance of the trag
edy, President Boyd pointed
out in this moving address that
this deed has been committed
against the people, and that
its consequences will be seen
and felt in many ways. He
asked that the students rededi
cate their lives to the things
for which the late President
Kennedy stood.
The Rev. Mr. Harrison con
cluded the ceremony with pray
er, after which “Taps” was
played by Jim Parks and Jim
Wingard.
The memorial service was
planned and carried out by
members of Alpha Phi Omega,
campus service fraternity.
