The volume brings together historical data on the founding of the A & M School in 1908 and the subsequent establishment of West Georgia College, in 1933, as well as humorous, whimsical, and informal recollections of the A & M days by persons who experienced them first-hand. Since the conversion of the A & M School into West Georgia College, the A & M alumni have orovided solid, unwavering, and continual support of the college. They have also shown great loyalty to their own alumni organiza- tion. The publication of this book through funds contributed by several A & M alumni and services provided by the college's Department of Publica- tions is an example of the cooperative spirit that has existed through the years. This collection of readings portrays a valuable part of the heritage of West Georgia College and provides insight as to the high values and stability of the people who were a vital part of the institution in its formative years.

Camp. My maternal grandmother, the late Mary Elizabeth Camp, and Henry H. Strick- land were married in her parents' home, now known as the Bonner House, on December 21, 1871. As a child my grandmother would tell us wonderful stories about her youth on this farm. In 1922, I started to high school at the 4th District A & M School located on Lot #99 and spent four glorious years, graduating in 1926. In 1939 I attended West Georgia College for special study, at this same place, It is difficult to find words to express my appreciation to Dr. Anne Ingram and each one who has contributed to making this history of the 4th District A & M, 1907 to 1933, a reality. To each and everyone, I give my deepest heartfelt "THANKS". What is now West Georgia College is a hallowed place to me. (Mrs. C. M.) Thelma H. Turner June, 1978 The history of any organization or institution is significant for those who helped to "write" the events by their participation in them; it is important for those who follow because of the impact of those earlier events on the present. In the case of the 4th District ASM this becomes especially true. Five minutes of conversation with an A & M alumnus will convince anyone that the "A & M Days" were exciting and very meaningful for those involved. It is equally apoarent to those involved with West Georgia College that the 4th District A & M established an excellent foundation on which the college was to be built. I shall always treasure the opportunity of working with the A & M Alumni Association and the warm friendships which have grown from that association. Gene Hutsell, Ph.D. Director, Development and Alumni Services June, 1978 -2- INTRODUCTION This collection of readings is about the Fourth Distrct Ag^ cultural and Mechanical School, located out from Carroll ton, Georgia In 1908 when the school was founded it was located outside the city limits and had its n^crnff^rp r;^llPd GENOLA The A & M School was a boarding high school wh c trel % r uUu a? and Industrial arts along with the general hinh school curriculum. The school was founded to train young mn and women to take their olace in a rural agricultural community and to provide work oDDortun ties for the students so that they could earn most or part of the Ev reqJ "d tS finance their education. In addition to attending classes, the students were scheduled to work a certain number of hours a week for which they were paid. The life span of the A & M High School was from 1908 to 1933. Judqe rpnrnP Pierce Munro of Buena Vista and Columbus, Georgia was Chairman of ^h^BLrd o^TrustLraDp^ by Governor Terrell to select the land where the Fourth Diltrct A &Tschool would be located. The land se ected was the haro P?ace, which was the old Bonner plantation ^ ;'^ ,^^\^,^ f ^^^ ^, to the Sharp family. The Bonner House was originally located about where Sanford Hall is located (1977). The A & M School opened its doors to students in 1908 and J H Mel son was the first Principal Mr. and Mrs. Melson endeared themselves to the St dents nd are remembered with great love and affection. The studen en- rollment was small and there was a close bond between faculty and students Th ASM school acted en loco parentis although the students were generally older than town high sch^oTTtudents. The catalogs from 1908 to 1920 firm- Iv state that "no smokers will be tolerated" and if "any student is found ^b're this ruleTe will be expelled." There was no nonsense a ou w at one did or did not do and for a violation, punishment was swift and sure^ The erring student was assigned a special work detail immediately. In the permtsIiWe atmosphere of thi 1970;s, a high school student reading at the regulations and schedules would be incredulous. Although the school environment was conducted in a very strict manner, ^^^^^^^J^^^p students dotes qive insight into the mischievous and joyous nature of the students. Their sjirils were far from being crushed. In fact, their school days seem- ed to mean more to them. In 1920 Mr Melson retired as Principal of the A & M School and Irvine S. in ram wa^ seiected by the trustees of the school to be the next Princ- nal He was 27 years old, a batchelor and had not completed his A. B. aeqree but'he had bee teaching ^ince he was 16 years old. His father died when IrJi e Ingram was 19 years old and left him as the f ^^^^PP^f ^, ^\, mother and five vounaer brothers and sisters. The trustees asked him at hi b nterview "What do you know about farming?" ^^;;-%:;9ram report- edly said, "I don't know anything now but I can learn f ^^^,^"0^^^^^^%,, organize." When Irvine Ingram's father died, he left a debt ^Jich his son elected to assume and gradually pay off. As fate would have it, one o. the trustees was the man who had been paid back by the son. -3- Martha Lewis Munro joined the high school staff as a teacher of English and Literature a year before Mr. Mel son resigned and I. S. Ingram was select- ed by the trustees to replace him as Principal of the School. On June 11, 1921, Irvine Ingram and Martha Munro were married and the welfare of the school and its students became their primary goal in life. The school was still small by modern standards and the bonds between faculty and students were similar to those that exist in an extended family. The gradual change towards industrialization and urbanization of Carroll County and the state brought about a change in the needs of the people in the area that the A & M had been designed to serve. In the thirties, the county was one of the leading cotton growing counties in the state. The State Legislature, by the late 1920's, felt that these schools had served their day because city high schools were also offering some of the same agricultural and mechanical courses. The period of life of these schools spanned the transition from horse and buggy days, when farming was done with the aid of horse and mule drawn plows or wagons, to the advent of modern mechanized farming equipment with tractors and trucks. But it was the boll- weevil that wrecked the cotton oriented economy of the county. When trans- portation depended on horse drawn carriages and a road system of mostly un- paved dirt roads, boarding schools to teach agricultural techniques and improve stock breeding, etc., provided a needed service to future farmers. As time brought many new innovations, needs of the people changed and the function of the school needed to change. So the response of the state legis- lature was to meet the new need and replace the high school with a junior college -- a new curriculum, new goals, and new functions. It was a time of insecurity for teachers and students when the legis- lature, after extensive study, determined that the A ?. M Schools scattered over the state had served their day and would be abolished. This occurred in 1933. Carroll ton community leaders along with faculty worked to have a junior college founded at the plant site and in the buildings of the old ASM School. This was how the metamorphosis of West Georgia College occur- red. A brand new junior college, a Division of the University System of Georgia was born. Irvine S. Ingram was selected by the Board of Regents to be the first president of West Georgia College. His association with the "school" covered the time from 1920 to 1961, a period of forty-one years. Present day faculty and students (1977) may pause momentarily to wonder about the ASM School that was the parent of West Georgia College, The purpose of this collection of readings is to answer some of these questions and reaffirm the bond between the past and the present. Anne Gayle Ingram West Georgia College Class of 1943 -4- 1 EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE FROM THE CENTENNIAL EDITION OF THE CARROLL COUNTY TIMES A momentous event was the laying of the corner stone of the Agricultural and Mechanical School of the Fourth District, at Carroll ton. By estimation there were twelve thousand people there, gathered from all over the Fouth District and other counties near Carroll and a barbecue had been provided adequate for the occasion. The occasion passed off happily and delightfully in every respect. The people all enjoyed themselves and their conduct and bouyancy heralded a bright and successful future for the school . Never have I seen or heard of a more successful or delight- ful occasion. -5- TAKEN FROM THE EDUCATIONAL HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY by James C. Bonner Department of History Georgia College at Milledgeville Produced in 1968 by the Georgia College Duplicating Department Milledgeville, Georgia, Educational History in the Twentieth Century (The Beginning of the Fourth District Agricultural and Mechanical School at Carroll ton, Georgia) INTRODUCTION : New educational developments which occurred in the first third of the twentieth century included agricultural and homemaking education, longer school terms, and school consolidation in the interest of quality and efficiency. These innovations were logical results of the Populist movement which emphasized the need of a more realistic educational program for rural youth ' The ASM School . The Fourth Congressional District at this time was comprised of ten counties in western Georgia including Carroll on the extreme north and Marion County on the south. In competition with such cities as Newnan, LaGrange and Columbus, Carroll ton was designated as the location of the district school. Several local sites were considered, including the Grow- Kinsbury livestock farm on the Little Tallapoosa River, and the site near the railroad where the Maole Street Grammar School later was constructed in 1912. The board of trustees, of which George P, Munro of Buena Vista was chairman, selected the old Bonner plantation on the Bowdon road, then in possession of Bluford A. Sharp, who transferred for $9,625 two hundred and seventy-five acres of land to the trustees. The old plantation house which was included in the purchase became the first woman's dormitory. Two brick buildings were constructed during 1907 at a total cost of slightly less than $25,000. These were an academic building and a dormitory for men which was later known as Melson Hall. Clifton Mandeville and Joseph A. Aycock, local businessmen, were the contractors. The first term of the school opened in January 1908 with a faculty of five people, including Princi- pal John Holland Melson and his wife. Mrs. L, J. Rozar, formerly of the Temple Model School, later was engaged to teach English. She became one of the most popular and beloved teachers ever to be associated with the school. Fifty-two boarding pupils and fifty-eight day pupils enrolled for the open- ing session. Seven counties were represented in the student body, of whom more than 70 percent were from Carroll County. Among the students were Lee B. Wyatt, a future presiding^ justice of the Georgia Supreme Court, Charles Fitts, a future Carrollton physician, Eugene Spratlin who was to become a lawyer, and Reese Adamson who became assistant manager of the Birmingham branch of the Ford Motor Company. Be- sides attracting youth back to the farm where they would enhance the agricul- tural life of the region, the school from the beginning also provided an incentive for them to enter urban trades and professions, which many did with surprising success. When the first contingent of studentsarrived, doors to the dormitory rooms had not yet been installed. There was no running water, since the single hydrant on the front campus was frozen. Buildings were without central heat and electric lights. There was neither a library nor classroom equip- ment, A "book shower" arranged by Mrs, John Holland Melson on January 27, provided the nucleous of a library when 325 volumes of non-descript books and bound volumes of magazines were contributed by local peoole These books were shelved in one^of the linen closets in the boys' dormitory, and thirty books were checked out on the first day. In February Principal J. H Melson announced that the school needed "four mi k cows, five shotes Csicl six sheep and 100 chickens. . .and will appreciate very much donations bv our farmer friends." Desks for classrooms did not arrive until the middle of February. In the meantime, tables, arm chairs and lamps were placed in the main hall of the dormitory where a two-hour study period was observed in the evenings. By April seats were installed in the auditorium when the First Baptist Church donated the old pews from the frame building being replaced on Newnan Street. The school held frequent box suppers to raise funds for equipment. Such an occasion in March netted thirty-six do ars^ Green Burson auctioned the boxes off at prices ranging from fifty cents to $1.25 each. Towns-people were the principal bidders. ive conditions during the winter of , demoralizing students as well as students were down with measles a.

Among those who went home Daisy Echols, Vesta Chambers, Wesley Vea wether. It is a tribute to its leaders that the institution survived and exper- ienced a steady growth under such adverse circumstances. Much of its success was a reiult of the loyal support, financial and moral , of the people of the county and of Carrollton in particular. The 1906 law estab- lishing the eleven agricultural schools provided no direct appropriation of funds for their support but specified that the institutions should re- ceive the inspection fees on oil, food and fertilizers collected by the Department of Agriculture. The Carrollton school's financial Report for the first term's operation on June 16, 1908, showed that it had received $6,500 from this source, while the people of the county had donated the land and buildings. These donations were made by the city and county governments, and by individuals. The city furnished ^f^ric light and water after the first year. The county appropriated $15,000 for buildings, borrowing this amount from the two local banks to be repaid f^om county funds An attempt by Wesley Domineck and others of the Temple community, seeking to restrain county officials from the payment of this loan, was unsuccessful. The presentments of the Carroll grandjury of April, 908 de- plored the conditions "which invited an interruption of the tranquility o the sentiment of our people" on the school, which it regarded as^_ one of the most valuable assets to our moral, civic, and material good It urged the people to "join hands in moral and financial support of this institution so heavily fraught with the possibility of good to our own and to genera- tions yet unknown," The depression of 1907 had made 1t impossible for some subscribers to make their oayments on time. A few defaulted because they had expected the school to be located at Clem, Temple, Mt, Zion, or Oaklawn, or at some point near their homes. After 1908, however, with the return of prosperity, near- ly all of the subscriptions were paid. The local paper cooperated by pub- lishing a continuing list of paid-up subscribers. This list was a cross- section of the county's citizens and included such men as J. J. Lovvorn, who paid $55.00; L. Newell, $10.00: H. C. Conner, $5.00; W. H. Thomas, $3.00; W. T. Hackney, $2.50; and A. J. Garst, $1.00, Physical conditions at the school had improved by the opening of the fall term on September 2, but the enrollment of local day students had de- clined. There were seventeen girls and seventy-five boys, of whom seven of the former and fifty-five of the latter were boarders. Girls were now required to wear uniforms of blue shirtwaist suits with red ties and belts. The colors, blue and red, became the official colors of the school on Feb- ruary 20, 1908. Two new faculty members were added. A third brick building, a dining hall with the ground floor to serve as a shop and a central heating olant, was under construction. It was completed in December at a cost of $5,000, A school advertisement in somewhat of an over-statement proclaimed that "Everything free except what you eat." Work was required of all oupils to fulfill technical requirements of tuition; and books might be purchased from compensation paid for overtime. Teachers often complained of pupils who neglected academic duties in order to perform work for which they would be paid. Extra work was assigned for any breach of discipline. Such work for boys usually consisted of digging stumps from newly cleared land near the campus. Board during the first year had cost each puoil S6.41 per month. ^ De- SDite this low cost the school's average menu suggests a substantial diet. For breakfast there were grapenuts with sugar and cream, pork sausage, corn muffins, biscuit, and coffee in a typical farmer's breakfast. At noon there was soup with "crackling bread, " boiled cabbage, mashed potatoes, steak, biscuit, and pudding. The evening meal consisted of potatoes, biscuit, cheese, syrup and coffee. Sometimes these items were supplemented with fruits and other edibles from home. "R. B, Goodloe's homefolks gave him a pleasant surprise one day this week by sending him a lot of sugar cane which he and his friends enjoyed very much," wrote one student. Since most of the students were separated from their families for the first time, homesickness often was a major problem. Improved morale was attempted through organized recreation. At a Valentine party in February 1908 music was placed on a "graphaphone." While students were not permitted to dance, rhythmic games such as Skip-to-my-Lou were played. Fudge and cake were served at intermission. One student confided that he was "a poor skipper but a good intermissioner." In May the entire student body took a day off to enjoy a picnic at Simonton's Mill. "Two wagons, a bus, a surrey and old buggies conveyed the crowd to the river and delightful day was spent in play- ing games, wading, boating, swimming and eating," according to one partici- pant. On October 16 following, the students enjoyed another holiday trip to Atlanta to attend the state fair. Two rival literary societies were formed called "Workers of A & M" and "The Argosy" (later changed to "Hawthorn" and "Ciceronian"). Subjects used in a declamation contest ranged from "The Situation in Cuba" to "Casey at the Bat," Hazing apparently was given free reign, although the term itself was unknown to the students at that time. New students were called "fresh meat" and the use of a leather strap to instill respect for veteran students and for their regulations was called "salting down." The first graduating exercise was held in May 1909. The occasion last- ad three full days and included the old concept of an "exhibition." There were such programs as an oratorical contest, display of agricultural and shop exhibits with talks by students on fertilizers, field crops, and home health. At the graduation on Tuesday evening, Eugene F. Spradlin gave the valedictory. Others in the class were Boyd Bishop, Annabel Yeates, John R. Darden, John W. Veal, Olney H. Meadows, and Hogan Copeland. George P, Munro, chairman of the Board of Trustees, delivered the diplomas. Sign- ificicantly, in his preliminary remarks, he referred to the institution as "the coming school of West Georgia." Athletic competition began as early as February 9, 1908. Basketball was little known as a winter sport, therefore this first contest was a game of baseball against a team representing the Carrollton High School. The A & M team won by a score of sixteen to four, and repeated the victory on the following day. The boys acquired blue baseball uniforms trimmed in red, colors which had just been adooted by the school. They wore blue caps decorated with the red letters, "A & M." In April the -baseball team made its first out-of-town trip when it went to Whitesburq and before a large crowd defeated the town team by a score of twelve to two. The mem- bers of this team were "Dot" Jones, Douglas Merrill, Tom Power, and 6. G. Daniel, infield; John Webb, Stacy Dimmock, and Carl Holmes, outfield; with Garland Merrill and LaFayette Stovall as catcher and pitcher, respect- ively. A student from Turin, in Coweta County, Stovall was easily the star of this team. He loved the game intensely and those who observed his skill claim that he could have performed with distinction on many professional teams. In 1911, when an athletic association was formed, another champion- ship team was produced. It was comprised of Hall Carmichael, Joe Davis, Bill Jarrell, Lander Lane, Jess Craven, Norman Causey, Yuke Hay, Carl Al- mon, and Glenn Carter. Carmichael won fame as an ambidexterous pitcher. Football had its beginning in Carroll County in 1910 when an A & M team was organized with Lander Lane of LaGrange as captain and student coach, Eugene Spearman was captain of the 1912 team which had Amos M. Stephens as manager. On Friday, November 22, this team won a game against LaGrange by a 6 to score. Fred Hall urn, perhaps the best all-around athlete the school ever produced, made the only touchdown of the game on a long end run. This game, which the writer witnessed, was played on a sloping hillside, about the center of which Munro Hall at West Georgia College later was erected. The return game was played at LaGrange on Thanksgiving Day, After half a century none of the surviving members of 10 this team remembered either the score or the outcome of this game. They recalled only that it was played on a snow-covered field. Conspicuously absent v/as that elan which characterizes modern football, The A & M players stalked on the field with ungainly stride, and took their positions in much the same manner as they would settle down to the chore of milking a cow. All features of the game were in charge of a single official who often was highly partisan and sometimes short on vision. Spectators stood on the sidelines and often overflowed onto the playing field. It was not uncommon for them to attack a player after the latter had made a vicious tackle of a favorite star. Once, at LaGrange, the A & M team was showered with brickbats from the sidelines. Rules against the use of in- eligible players (called "ringers" and "tramp athletes") were not enforced until about 1920, and few teams were guiltless of this type of hypocricy. Some degree of maturity was introduced at the A & M in 1913 when Pro- fessor 0, K, David, a former Auburn player, became the school's first experienced coach. He scheduled games with LaGrange, Newnan, Georgia Military Academy, Monroe A & M, Brantley Institute, Hearn Academy, and the Columbus Industrial School. Between thirty and forty boys competed for places on his team. An area back of the dining hall which was part of a race track was now graded to make a gridiron, although it was less than the official width. In that period a team could be completely equipped at a cost of $125. Of this amount the students contributed all except fifty dollars. The complete record of the 1913 team has not been found, but Coach David must have enjoyed a successful season. Called "the ASM Tigers," (later named "the Aggies"), his team defeated Brantley Institute (Senoia) by a score of 73-0, and on the following day it tied the Georgia Military Academy, whose teams for several years had ranked at the top of Georgia preparatory schools. The latter game was played at Carroll ton, The host team was tied in the final minutes by a touchdown made with a forward pass, a type of offensive play with which they were as yet unfamiliar. The 1916 team was reported in a general news column as having "lost disastrously" to Gordon in the opening game "due to unfortunate circum- stances," Howell Robinson made the only touchdown against Gordon, Homer Clyde Chesnutt, a future college coach, was captain of this team, and it was coached by Hall Carmichael. No other items appear in the local papers concerning the 1915 season except the report of a victory over the agricul- tural school at Powder Springs. However, this team is known to have com- pleted a highly successful season. It was not until after 1920 that details of football games came to be reported regularly in local papers, but even the accounts often were frag- mentary. The event which heightened the community's interest in football was the inauguration of the sport at Carroll ton High School. In 1920 the high school organized an athletic association and elected George Kerry Smith president. Carl Stevens was chosen captain of the yet unformed foot- 11 ball team.

This writer was refereed by Edwin Simms, the A & M coach, who spent fying his decisions and explaining the rules to the high Carroll ton won its second game, played at West Point, by The report of this game commanded a lengthy column in the there was no reference to stars or touchdowns. In a most of sportscasting, the reporter failed to mention by name a n either team nor did he describe a single play or movement. 1 the early 1930's when Hal David joined the Carroll County 1 sportswriting achieved some degree of modernity.

At the Fourth District School Meet held in Carrollton in April, the A & M won most of the athle- tic points with a team which included Tom Rutland, David King, Bill Hyde, Zeb Nutt and Fred Hallum, On May 8 the A S M team participated in a Georgia prep school meet in Atlanta sponsored by the Georgia School of schools competed.

Had he lived in the modern era of 12 professionalized sports, he might have won more enduring fame. The experimental phase of the agricultural school came to an end in 1910, by which time the institution was guaranteed a minimum income from the state of $10,000 a year. In the following year a principal's cottage was constructed, a band was organized, and plans were laid for the con- struction of a girls' dormitory. The young men adopted a standard dress of military uniforms with felt hats and canvas leggins. This gave them a distinctiveness enjoyed by cadets at private military schools, but the policy proved impracticable and was soon abandoned. The 1913 registration of 116 boys and 20 girls placed the Carrollton school fourth in>ank among the eleven district schools. A record enroll- ment came in 1915 when 142 boys and 24 girls were enrolled, and in the following year reaistration continued to increase. In 1915 the legislature made an appropriation for a girls' dormitory of a sum to be matched by local subscriptions. Within a few months, $4,200 had been subscribed leaving_ $5,000 more to be raised. Among the donors were Nicholas and Ben Tompkins of Heard County who contributed $100 each. Congressman Adamson gave $1500 and Coweta County appropriated $1000. The dormitory, built at a cost of $13,400, stood on the soot formerly occupied by the old entrance to the fair grounds. It was accepted by the trustees on March 15, 1917. The old horseblock of Chief William Mcintosh was given as a cornerstone by the ^.eorgia Power Company which now owned the Mcintosh Reserve. Up to this time the school had enrolled a total of only three hundred girls, of whom twenty- three had graduated. This was in contrast to twelve hundred boys who had enrolled and seventy who had graduated. ' World War I About the time that the new dormitory was opened America's entry into World War I brouaht a slight decline in registration. Young men both from the student body'and the faculty entered military service. By the end of the war the school's service flag contained 160 stars. Military training was made oart of the curriculum in 1917 and 1918. Uniforms and wooden guns were supplied by the students. By 1918 Springfield rifles used in the Spanish-American War were provided by the War Department. "Sugar Loaf Mountain," a hill near Hay's Mill, provided a firing range. * * * Irvine S. Ingram and Martha Munro The 1919 term opened on August 26 with 152 students, but the enroll- ment grew to 170 within ten days. Among the new teachers that year was a_ teacher of Enalish and history, Martha Munro, a daughter of the firsi chair- man of the school's board of trustees. The former remained on the campus until her death in 1955, bringing to the community an unusual intellect, _ combined with charm and graciousness. Her future husband. Professor Irvine S. Ingram, was elected to the principalship in 1920, succeeding Professor Mel son who had resianed. 13 Professor Ingram's administration was begun in a period of post-war readjustment, marked by the emergence of basic changes in the state's edu- cational pattern. Although the consolidation of rural schools began as early as 1902, the program did not have legislative sanction until the passage of the Barrett-Rogers Act in 1919, which provided funds for this purpose. Consolidation was further encouraged by the availability of army surplus trucks for the transportation of children and by the improvement of rural roads which began in the early twenties. Significant for the future of the district agricultural schools was the passage of the Smith-Hughes Act in 1917 which provided federal funds for vocational programs, includ- ing agriculture and home economics in local high schools. Also the increase in the number of accredited high schools had been phenomenal since the in- the A & M schools in Georgia increased from 420 in 1905 to in 1915. The figure reached 59,817 in 1930. These changes the traditional position of the district agricultural schools ; pattern of rural education. auguration of nearly 13,000 greatly ended in the state's Great Depression The Carroll ton ASM school was notable fo changes.

In 1923 income from the state increased from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars, but beginning in 1927 the appropriation was fixed at $15,000. The school's maximum support from public funds never exceeded $30,000 annually, and this amount came in 1930 and in 1931. The final appropriation, for 1933, was cut to half this amount. At this time the school's library did not exceed fifteen hundred volumes. With these changes in vocationa not neglected. It had always had a ing the State College of Agriculture was removed as an entrance requireme attend liberal arts colleges. Eight of 1914 went to college. More than 1921 enrolled in college.

In the previous year it had won second place in the overall athletic and literary contest in which the eleven district agricultural schools participated. It graduated that year forty-five seniors. On May 8, 1929 the school was honored by the presence of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, who delivered the commencement address. In 1927 the school opened with 180 students, the largest in the in- stitution's history. During the depression years which followed, its reg- istration figures continued at a high level. Between 1924 and 1929, seven of the A S M schools (those at Cochran, Douglas, Statesboro, Americus, Tifton, Monroe and Barnesville), abandoned the A & M plan, most of them becoming jun- ior colleges. The trustees of the Carroll ton school went on record as oppos- ing any change in the status of the institution, despite the fact that con- siderable sentiment had developed in the state legislature for the abolition of the remaining district schools. Finally, in March 1933 the newly-created Board of Regents revealed its plans to abolish the remaining A & M schools and also to cease operating Bowdon College, They also announced their Intention of creating a new junior college in western Georgia. VJest Georgia College Begins Carroll ton and Bowdon in Carroll County, and Powder Springs in Cobb County each contended for the location of the junior college. A mass meet- ing of Carroll ton citizens planned the community's strategy and later its case was presented to the regents. On April 15 the regents announced that the A & M campus at Carrollton would be the location of the institution to be called West Georgia College. It would be in effect a consolidation and reorganization of the three institutions in western Georgia which were to be discontinued. Irvine S. Ingram, the principal of the A & M School, was named president. This act gave a tangible symbol of continuity to the older institution. In the meantime, however, on December 11, 1931, the ASM trustees had held their last meeting, turning over the control of the school to the newly-appointed regents of the University System of Georgia, Only one of the trustees, T, Moreland Zellars, had served the institution con-_ tinuously from the beginning--a total of more than twenty-five years, Philip Weltner, soon to become chancellor of the University System, delivered the final ASM commencement address, on April 24, 1933. Carroll County at this time claimed the largest rural white population in the state. It maintained eight four-year high schools, half of which were accredited. An average of 228 seniors graduated annually from these high schools, a figure considerably above that for any county in western Georgia. The people of the community, as they did in 1907 and 1908, gave their unstint- ing loyalty and support to the institution in its expanded role. Local civic clubs sponsored the grading of the athletic field and the building of new tennis courts. Doctors donated their time for physical examinations of students, and the municipal government of Carrollton contributed materials and labor for sorely needed repairs to buildings, 15 West Georgia College was designated as a terminal and transitional institution, total expenses for the year were $162 for boarding students and $36 for commuters. It launched almost immediately into an adult education program which later won national recognition. In 1957 it became a degree-granting institution, three years before its first president re- tired. By 1965 the institution's registration had reached 2,000 and an instructional staff of approximately one hundred. Fully 25 per cent of the latter held the doctor's degree. Although one hundred of Georgia's 159 counties were represented in the student body, 58 per cent came from six counties in the immediate area. While nearly all of the original ASM buildings were intact in 1965, a complete new plant either had been constructed, or was under construction, including a library to seat one thousand students. The library contained in excess of 40,000 volumes. BIBLIOGRAPHY I.

The Hawthorne Society, the Ciceronian Society and the A & M Debating Club. Members that year who debated Carroll ton High School were Hoyt McClendon, Fred Simonton, Zelma Barr and Bessie Cline. The Hawthorne and Ciceronian Societies "were organized for the purpose of broadening the minds of the students and of teaching them to be at ease when addressing a crowd of people. Each society has about the same number of members. Every year the old students race to get the new students to join their society." Each society had about fifty members and each society met once a week on Saturday evenings and had an interesting program. About every six weeks, the two societies held a joint meeting. The A & M had active religious groups, the Sunday School, YMCA and YWCA. Athletic participation was orovided through football, basketball and baseball teams. The football team was composed of Choice, Pike, Pritchett, Williamson, Walls, Adamson, Combs, Murphy, James, O'Neal, Hightower, Arnett, Hays and Pull en. The basketball team members were Phillips, Allen, O'Neal, Pike, Arnett, Neill, Choice, Pritchett, Peeler, and Smith. In writing about the athletic program, the staff commented: "Our Athletic Association now consists of the entire male student body whose spirit in upholding the teams is a great help to the boys in the field. The girls, too, encourage the players... Their presence causes each boy to fight a hard- er and cleaner game. Our motto is "win fairly," and we have never been known to win a game in any way save hard playing and determination. We believe to play hard and lose is better than to play easy and win." -67- TTmiiihiuiim nni Che B X'OLrMK OXK rii)Iisl>.-.! ln| Ihi- Shi.lri.l-^ ol' th.<' -luD.ior 1 )(|>(irhi).riil l ll>.- l'\)i!rlh Dislrich A.Kvr>. that lonic^ ir"iii liiiK' wfll -I't'iit. 1 u,!l k.T,. hu-, p.KM- .l.-.m a, Hi 1,11 .1 uilh llu nH,H-.l ul kiu'V\lr'l:-^<' :-;aini-.l. 1 uall MX niv eve- o.i the .^nal ul ins amhilmn^ ;,n.l hdlil niv haiiii tu il- task. 1 will work hanl. hnj.c h:-h. an.i livr uy U> th^ I,,..., ,!,;,, ,. ,n nir: iIk-ii I ran vvritr .al thr rnd, -W 1 I.|1C," 70 rs- rnt, ar2>_ 7 ^c I^re mierl iinnmniiiiniininiiiiniiiiinniiinnn\ii BOARD.

Boy: "Have you heard the story of the wicked flea?" Mr. Barber: "I don't believe " so. What is it?" Boy: "The wicked flee when no man pursueth." * Mose: "Are paint brushes made from pig's bristles?" Mr. Maddox: "I believe so, Mose." Mose: "Well, what part of a pig do the pigments come from?" * * Miss Nolen: "How did the Isr- ; aelites treat Saul the day he was made king?" L.

Mr. Ford went into a store and said to the merchant: "What kind of lights do you have?" "Edison," replied the mer- chant. "And tires?" "Firestone." "You may be interested to know that Mr. Edison and 'Mr. Firestone are out in my car, and that I am Henry Ford." As the merchant was putting on the tire, Mr. Burroughs, who was well adorned with white whiskers, leaned out of the car, and the merchant, looking at him with a grin, said: "If you tell me you're Santa Claus I'll crown you with this wrench."
