“Joe,” WGC Campus Mascot,
Leads A Dogs Life Of Riley
By Bentley C. Fallis
Although many students may feel that they lead a dog’s life,
there is one “member” at West Georgia College who really does
lead a dog’s life.
Joe, the spotted dog seen
frequently around campus,
cisclosed recently in a personal
interview that he actually leads
“a life of Riley.”
Joe, the offical mascot of
West Georgia College, is spok
en of as “old Buddy” by some
faculty members. Unofficially
Joe has the run of the Ad
ministration Building. He enjoys
stretching out in front of Dr.
Walker’s office, Miss Parker’s
door, and Dr. Boyd’s office,
but his favorite spot is just
outside the Business office.
Joe’s reason for choosing this
particular spot revolves around
J. M. Bracknell and D. H.
Kidd, campus policemen. Mr.
Bracknell, better known as
“Nate,” can be considered the
real owner of Joe.
One night while making his
rounds, Nate observed a stray
dog following him. He fed the
dog, named him “Joe,” and
since then Nate and Mr. Kidd
have been followed almost con
stantly by the large black-and
white dog.
Petted, well-fed, by scraps
from the dining hall, Joe’s only
problem in life is the changing
of classes, when he is in dan
ger of being trampled under
foot, and the mad rushes of
faculty members through the
Cook Named
To Council
Tony Cook, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Wallace Cook of Boyd
road, Hogansville, has been
named to the newly created
Governor's Council on Youth.
Cook is a 1964 graduate of
Hogansville High School and
is presently a freshman at
West Georgia College.
This is the first council of
its kind in the state of Geor
gia.
The Council will be com
prised of outstanding teen lead
ers from across the state.
These teenagers will meet
and discuss ways to alleviate
youth problems and methods of
promoting decency and pros
perity among young people.
halls with arms full of papers.
Although Joe is very friend
ly and loves a pat on the
head, he has his unusual
quirks of personality. If given
too much attention he will af
fectionally leave his paw prints
all over your freshly launder
ed skirt or trousers. He has a
morbid fear of doors closing,
and surprisingly, has a jeal
ous streak.
Joe’s cause for jealousy is
Red, pet of Mrs. Bob Townley.
Red enjoys tagging along after
Joe, although at times he dis
appears to some mysterious
place known only to him.

Life’s Not One Big Problem:
It Is Lots Of Big Problems
Have you ever walked into your dormitory room and slammed
the door, then watched the window slam shut, the mirror crack,
and the bed collapse? Then on your way to the shower you
dropped your soap, stepped on it, and slid the rest of the way?
Then you discovered after
your shower that you’d for
gotten your towel and you had
just washed your hair with shoe
polish? Is that your trouble,
friend?
Perhaps you had two tests
assigned on one day, so you
decided to flunk the English
test and study for the history
test, and then the history test
was called off.
Or you have four term papers
due on the same day and you’re
only taking three subjects. Is
that your only problem?
Or maybe you were undress
ing last night in your room
right across from the men’s
dorm when suddenly the win
dow shade flew up, so you
jumped in your closet and the
closet door fell off.
Or perhaps the campus
Dreamboat asked you out on
the weekend you had to go
home to intercept your mid
term grades, then you got home
to discover that the grades
were mailed out Wednesday.
Is that what’s making you hide
under your bed and cry?
Perhaps you were elected
Captain of your soccer team,
which means that the mem
bers of the opposing team run
up and kick you when the ref
eree isn’t looking, and at the
Christmas dance those char
treuse bruises clashed terribly
with your new blue semi-for
mal.
Then, to top it off, the only
boy who had asked you out for
two months, thirteen days, and
22 hours developed a hangnail
on his little finger and had
to break your date to the
Homecoming activities.
Friend, if these are your on-
ly problems, you shouldn’t have
a worry in the world. After all,
is could be worse. You should
feel lucky that you’re not tak-

CHRISTMAS IN GEORGIA
Celestine Sibley
Drawings by Scarlet Rickenbaker
Five yuletide stories that range in time from the American
Revolution to the present day, in locale from a seacoast island
to the Blue Ridge of Georgia, and in characterization from a
spoiled, restless modern family to a mountain group who
teetered on the thin edge of abject poverty.
Written with the warmth and charm for which Miss Sib
ley, the author of Peachtree Street, U. S. A., is famous, these
stories will linger in the heart of the reader long after he has
finished reading them.
Celestine Sibley, Atlanta’s beloved columnist, has come
to know every stratum of Georgia in her many years of
journalism and has received a wide variety of awards, in
cluding a Christopher, for articles and short stories.
