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 gentlemen all spring from
that indefinable something we attain through living in and
becoming 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.

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 acquaint-
ing the new student with his fellow students, the college fac-
ulty, and the college in general. Inspection trips are made to
the various buildings and to all parts of the campus. 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 hoHdays, 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 Carrollton. This
gesture of goodwill and friendliness is appreciated by the en-
tire 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 presented 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; West Georgia College
Week, April 23; May Day; the yearly Home-Coming Con-
cert; Alumni Day, and the colorful Final Dance are all extra-
curricular activities that have taken on the character of tra-
ditions 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.

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 cleanHness.

12

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 mat-
ters of Campus-wide interest are made at this time. Students
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. All students living in college
halls take meals in the college cafeteria.

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 Carrollton.

WORK AND PLAY

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.

One of the most important attributes of college training
is that of discrimination. The capacity to put first things first
is paramount. Our most important job at West Georgia is liv-
ing 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. Each
student organization has a faculty sponsor who attends all
meetings and serves as a consultant.

All activities are under the general supervision of a special
committee. Each club must present to this committee a gen-
eral 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, mem-
bership in these organizations is open to all students. A stu-
dent must withdraw from an organization if he attends less
than GG percent of the meetings per quarter. Refusal to par-
ticipate within a club or refusal to take assignment in certain
other organizations constitutes grounds for immediate dis-
missal from the organization.

THE WEST GEORGIAN
The West Georgian, student newspaper, is as old as
West Georgia College itself. Members of the West Georgian
Staff with the exception of the editor, 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.

chief, are chosen by means of try-outs for which any student
is eligible. Staff members are selected from those students who

cations of each candidate.

such competent assistants as they may from time to time se-
lect, to supervise student balloting and elections, and to act as

pose of counting the ballots and confirming the results of the

act as hosts and committeemen at certain college social func-
tions, receptions, and entertainments, both those attended only
by students and faculty and those held in honor of off-

tion in promoting and adjusting college policies and proce-
dures which contribute to the welfare of the students and to

lege regulations concerning gambling, use of alcohol, steaHng,

tions, may bar from candidacy any student whose behavior
has been such as to cast grave doubt on his ability or willing-

student body and the college community. In addition to the
above regulations candidates for the editorship of the West
Georgian and Chieftain must have the endorsement of the

council elected by vote of its occupants. These councils pre-

dents in the respective buildings.

lyceum numbers for the student body at the lowest possible
price. The college believes that this is an unusual opportuni-

^La Wat,

er

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 croivn 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 dark?2ess like a star;
The candles of her children now are burning
To reflect a mother's spirit from afar.
