PRESIDENT INGRAM

TO THE STUDENT PERSONNEL OF WEST
GEORGIA COLLEGE

The faculty joins me in giving to you a most hearty
and cordial welcome. Our campus is a friendly place. Tra-
ditions are a way of life in any college community. This
mode of living is characteristic of ladies and gentlemen the
world over. Such statements, as college bred; tolerant and
understanding; a scholar and a gentleman all spring from
that indefinable something we attain through living in and
becoming a part of a school in which traditions are honored.

Here at West Georgia we are gradually building up some
excellent customs customs that are becoming traditions.

This pamphlet is printed by the Student Activities Com-
mittee. It contains information which has been found helpful
to our faculty and students.

Cordially,

Irvine S. Ingram, President.

TO THE STUDENTS OF WEST GEORGIA
COLLEGE

For your information and instruction we offer in the
following pages the traditions, procedures, and policies of
West Georgia College. This handbook is an attempt to briefly
explain to you regulations that the college believes both neces-
sary and beneficial to you for your most complete and effec-
tive development. Through it you will learn about campus
activities and student participation in them.

The instructions set forth herein were not drawn up
in any arbitrary fashion. The sum of the best in faculty and
student experience over the years, represents long hours
of discussion and consultation. They have been altered and
amended from time to time when experience has demonstrat-
ed that needs and requirements have changed in a changing
world. We present them to you in the firm belief that they
will contribute to your effectively meeting the challenge and
opportunity that life at West Georgia College holds in store
for you.

We extend to you our sincere good wishes for a profit-
able and enjoyable college life.

Cordially,

Lucien E. Roberts,

FRESHMAN ORIENTATION

Each year the college faculty and the new students as-
semble at the college three or four days before the opening
of classes for the Fall Quarter. These days are spent in ac-
quainting the new student with his fellow students, the col-
lege faculty, and the college in general. Inspection trips are
made to the various buildings and to all parts of the cam-
pus. Social and recreational hours are planned for faculty
and students. Students become acquainted with their advisers,
who assist them in selecting their course of study and in
making out their schedules for the Fall Quarter. Physical
examinations and educational tests are given.

FRESHMAN WEEK

Many features of Freshman week have already become
part of the college traditions. For example the Sophomore-
instigated Freshman Parade to town and around the square
has become so much a part of us that both students and
town folk look forward to it as an annual event of fun and
frolic. This parade has in it the element of humor and is
a test of good sportsmanship for both Freshmen and Sopho-
mores. This parade takes the place of all other forms of
initiation for new students.

FOOTBALL

The opening of the Fall Quarter ushers in the football
season. Football is a comparatively new sport at the college;
both intramural and inter-collegiate teams actively participate
in this sport.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS

Just before the Christmas holidays, the college chorus
presents a program of carols in the school auditorium. One
night during the following week the members of the Choir go
caroling at homes, hospitals, and churches in CarroUton. This
gesture of goodwill and friendliness is appreciated by the
entire community.

BASKETBALL

The major sport of the Winter Quarter is basketball.
West Georgia's varsity basketball teams have had a long and
honorable record in which the good name of the school has
unfailingly been upheld by the players and student body.

DRAMATICS

Plays are an important part of our college program. The
experience of being in a play is of great value. A really good
college play is remembered as an outstanding event of that
college year. One play is piesented each quarter by those peo-
ple taking the Dramatics course.

SPRING QUARTER ACTIVITIES

The Spring Quarter ushers in our busiest time. Such im-
portant events as: Parent's Day; Annual Hobby Show; May
Day; the yearly Home-Coming Concert; Alumni Day, and
the colorful Final Dance are all extra-curricular activities that
have taken on the character of traditions because they are
ardently supported. All of these and many other events have
become traditional at West Georgia College. Each contributes
its part to the development of the personality of the student.

DATES

It is a matter of good taste among ladies and gentlemen
on a college campus to conduct themselves on a date so as to
conform to the best social customs.

CAMPUS

The campus is a beauty spot in the foothills of West
Georgia. Students at all times should be careful to observe
the rules of campus cleanliness.

CHAPEL

Once a week the student body meets in assembly. Speak-
ers representative of every phase of professional endeavor
are selected for these occasions. Announcements concerning
matters of Campus-wide interest are made at this time. Stu-
dents response to these meetings is respectful and dignified.

DINING HALL

Meals at West Georgia College are served Cafeteria style
from modern steam tables. Student assistants serves these
meals which are planned and supervised by a Graduate Dieti-
tian. Regular courses in Georgia culture and good eating
habits encourage the students to maintain high standards of
behavior in the Dining Hall.

HEALTH

The college provides the services of a Graduate Nurse
for both men and women students. She has the cooperation
of the practicing physicians and specialists of CarroUton.

WORK AND PLAY

One of the most important attributes of college train-
ing is that of discrimination. The capacity to put first things
first is paramount. Our most important job at West Georgia
is living up to individual class-room responsibilities. Play
before work or instead of work is the hallmark of immaturity
and childhood. Play to the exclusion of all work makes a
dullard and a bore.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Student activities and organizations are an important
part of life at West Georgia. Among the various clubs and
activities every student finds something to stimulate his in-
terest.

The faculty insists that everyone avail himself of the
chance to participate in some manner in the community life
of the college as represented by these organizations.

All activities are under the general supervision of a
special committee. Each club must present to this committee
a general program for the year and a definite program for
the quarter. Each activity must present a financial report to
this committee at the end of each quarter and an annual
report at the end of the Spring Quarter. During the Fall
Quarter, membership in these organizations is open to all
students. A student must withdraw from an organization if
he attends less than 66 percent of the meetings per quarter.
Refusal to participate within a club or refusal to take assign-
ment in certain other organizations constitutes grounds for
immediate dismissal from the organization.

WHAT IS YOUR INTEREST.?

The West Georgian, student newspaper, is as old as
West Georgia College itself. Members of the West Georgian
Staff are chosen through try-outs held at the beginning of
each school year. Students who are interested or experienced
in journalism are urged to come to these tryouts, which will
be announced after the beginning of each Fall Quarter. The
West Georgian has been awarded first class honor rating
seven years by the Associated Collegiate Press. This rating
places The West Georgian among the best junior college
newspapers in the South.

The Chieftian, West Georgia's yearbook, was so named
because the Indian was the emblem of the college. The first
issue of The Chieftain appeared in the spring of 1934.

Alma mater, alma mater, hail, hail to thee.
The shrine of our eternal love and youth
Will live forever in the ways of truth.
West Georgia lifts her head above the beauty
Of the coronets that crown the verdant hills;
Her throne securely rests amid the woodland
Where nature' s sweetest tribute daily spills.
Marching feet are guided by her sure light.
Shining on the darkness like a star;
The candles of her children now are burning
To reflect a mother's spirit from afar.
