Children of Time
In a temporary land, j
With minutes and days
And weeks and years.
Flashes of color, a snatch of song.
And the long stretch of time
Playing out like a childhood rhyme:
Monday's child, Wednesday's woe
The span of the week,
The arc of the door.
The measure by which you trace
Your moods, your graces.
What you are, what you know.

Monday's Child Is
Fair of Face:
One thing we do have at West Georgia is an abundance of
fair faces. And hands. And bodies. There are fair faces for
the guys . . . and fair faces for the girls. There are a lot of
not-so-fair faces too. But maybe these are the best of all.
They have character.
I
Even the week seems to put
on a fair face on Mondays.
Everything is new and fresh;
maybe the sun shines a little
brighter.
i
Tuesdays Child Is
Full of Grace:
Just like fair faces, there are a lot of
graces. Not all of us have the bodily grace
of a dancer or an acrobat. Some of us
have academic grace, or social grace, or
good old down-to-earth human grace.
Maybe even Amazing Grace.
11
Wednesdays Child Is
Full of Woe:
Whether you look at life through the cloudy
eyes of a pessimist or the rose-tinted glasses of
an optimist, there's a lot of woe to be found
between Monday morning and Friday
afternoon. Many of these hard times seem to
center on Wednesday. Monday and Tuesday
have taken their toll and the weekend seems a
thousand miles away.

you've gotThursday and Friday

Thursdays Child Has Far To Go:
Atlanta. New York.
Even Bremen or Villa Rica.
There are a lot of places to go to besides Carrollton.
Some hitch-hike; some go in cars, or ride bicycles,
or take various bizarre forms of transportation.
Everyone seems to be going somewhere.
17
But how far can you go?
As in a bad Italian movie plot, you can
never really escape from yourself. Even a
trip to the moon can't free you from what
you are.
The playwright once said that time is the
greatest distance between two places. It's
also the only one-way trip in the world. ,
The future looms big now. The danger
lies in sweeping past your destination. ^

Fridays Child Is
Loving and Giving:
Charity. Sharing. Giving and taking.
The flexing of body and mind and
will. Poets praise it, psychologists
define it. Some people run away from
it, but all of us live in the circle of its
influence.

Saturdays Child Works
Hard for a Living:
Some people here seem to work hard . . .
drive maintenance trucks, type, put
together yearbooks, cook hamburgers at
Hardee's, or do anything else to get a
little beer money.
But students here don't work for money
only. Some work for grades, for charity,
or for recognition.
A few even seem to work hard at goofing
off.
25
And the Child
That Is Born
on the Sabbath Day
Is Bonny and Blithe^
and Goodr and Gay.
27
Bn anBBBinPMigi^
On Sunday we're inclined to be reverential, good
or bonny, blithe, and gay.
For whatever the purpose, on Sunday, like no other
day, there's a stillness in the air that helps prepare for
Monday's onslaught.

I
Time . . .
Flowing down soft.
Wending its way through the weary years
Like an old fat river.
Sifting down through a T-maze
Of old hopes and dusty dreams
And half-forgotten smiles.
Flow-running through time.
Gaining a little as you go.
Grabbing for all the gusto you can.

While thus guided by tradition yet you still
breathe free
Dear West Georgia, dear West Georgia,
standing strong and true.
Our wise Alma Mater beckons to the red and
the blue.

WGC Cheerleaders and Fans
The West Georgia College Cheerleaders are
a group of twelve dedicated individuals who
spend long hours after classes fall quarter
practicing for their winter quarter job of cheer-
ing for the Braves basketball team. The fact
that WGC rarely loses a game on their home
hardwood should be adequate proof that the
cheerleaders are well-trained in their duty of;
getting the students behind the ball team one-;
hundred percent. Several times during the sea-i
son the fans' support has helped the team to
come from behind in the waning moments to;
edge out their opponent in a particularly tight
game.
above: Those faces tell the whole story.

Help the Braves Through Close Games

"Basketball Jones, Basketball Jones"
Cheech Marin and Thomas Chong.
Once again at West Georgia College, bas-
ketball reigned supreme during winter quarter.
All of the students' activities in one way or
another were related to basketball. Studying
was performed at such strange times as 2:00
a.m. or 3:30 p.m. or disregarded completely.
On nights of a scheduled basketball game,
Curt's and all of the other Carroll County beer
stores did a booming business. A few of the
more dedicated even hoarded their spare
change in an effort to obtain gasoline, in the
face of a fuel crisis, to attend out-of-town
games. This rabid student support has gained
the college field house a reputation around the
state as a terrifying place for opposing
coaches and players.
"Way to go. Foots!" "Come on, Ref, get off
your backside and call one right!" "Awright;
good shooting, Tom!" "Defense, Braves,
Defense!" These are only a few of the cries
that can be heard, either separately or simulta-
neously, at West Georgia games. The Braves
basketball fan is a strange creature, indeed.
Invariably dressed in sneakers, blue jeans, and
a Disneyland tee shirt, he sits in the east stands
of the gym for two hours in a drunken stupor,
proclaiming the Braves an equal match with
any basketball team created by God, man, or
John Wooden. When the game ends, unless
he is restrained, he will run out onto the court,
madly screaming. There is, of course, no par-
ticular reason for doing this. It is just the thing
to do. But above all a West Georgia fan stays
with the team and has helped pull the Braves
team through a lot of close home games.
This year the Braves only lost four games
all four of these were on the road and three
were lost by five points or less. Columbus Col-
lege thrashed the Braves in Muskogee County,
but on the return bout our team stomped the
Cougars into mud 1 06-68 in front of a capacity
home crowd.
The team is composed of ten outstanding
individuals. Clarence "Foots" Walker is an Ail-
American ball player from the word "GO,"
whether he is sinking a twenty-foot jump shot
or driving to the basket. Foots more than likely
has a pro career ahead of him. Another Ail-
American is Tom "Terrific" Turner, who toward
the middle of the season became the most pro-
lific scorer in West Georgia history, smashing
the mark previously held by the great center
Charlie Hamilton. "Jumpin' " Jerry Faulkner is
probably the only 5' 11 " center in college bas-
ketball. His jumping ability is indeed demon-
strated by the fact that Jerry was the leading
rebounder on the 1973 team. "Steady" Dave
Edmonds was another fine player this year.
Without being flashy, Dave was always there
when some hard points or a clutch play was
needed. Late-bloomer Randy Rountree came
on as a fine starting center during the season.
His back-up, Pat Magley, also saw plenty of
action.
This year the Braves captured the first South
Atlantic Crown ever, in a tournament held at
the West Georgia Field House. The Braves took
the tournament crown without too much trou-
ble; however, their stiffest competition came
from Valdosta State and Armstrong State Col-
lege.
Braves Capture
I
National Title
Expectations for the Braves this year were
set high and for the most part, fulfilled. This
year the Braves ravaged arch-rival LaGrange
three tinnes. However, once again, the Braves
failed to defeat Valdosta State in the south
Georgia city a feat which has never been
performed by West Georgia teams.
The team advanced to the national NAIA
tourney by virtue of their first-place finish in the
NAIA 25th District. The nationals were held in
Kansas City, where thirty-two teams competed
for top honors. The tournament games were
played every day for a full week. West Georgia
was given little hope for winning until they
defeated heavily favored Gardner-Webb.
The Saturday night finale pitted West Geor-
gia against Alcorn A. & M. in a wild champion-
ship affair won by our Braves. As a special
honor to go with the national title, Clarence
"Foots" Walker was named the tournament's
Most Valuable Player. This was the first time
ever a team from the great state of Georgia
captured a national basketball title.
The Braves are under the fine coaching of
Roger Kaiser, former Georgia Tech Ail-Ameri-
can, and Jerry Reynolds, who has one of the
best minds for basketball in the state. It is these
two men who master-mind the great teams
consistently trotted out by the school. In addi-
tion to coaching basketball. Coach Kaiser is
athletic director for the school.
One of the newer buildings on campus, the
West Georgia College Health and Physical
Education Building is the headquarters for
intercollegiate and intramural sports. Through
this maze of band-aids, resin, and sweaty ten-
nis shoes, many fine athletes, men and
women, have come forth to represent the
school in athletic competition. Inside these hal-
lowed portals, the basketball and volleyball
teams play their matches, while the fans cheer
their teams and jeer their rivals. But there are
other things in this building, mainly the offices
of Coaches Bill Webb and Archie White. Coach
Webb's cross-country team won the first South
Atlantic trophy awarded, and each year Coach
White fields a baseball team any school could
be very proud of. Because of the vast budget
allocated basketball, these teams operate on,
at times, somewhat limited funds. This is not to
mention the lower allocation received by golf,
tennis, or women's sports. And how about the
Soccer Club which represented the school, but
was not even recognized as an intercollegiate
sport by the Athletic Department? Although the
Athletic Department generally does a highly
commendable job, it just might be wise to reex-
amine our priorities.
One element that belongs solely to basket-
ball is the cheerleaders. It is the sight of these
tarts in their little costumes that usually keep
the drunken male fans in good spirits when the
game gets slow. Even if the cheerleaders do
mess up a routine, it is worth it to watch them
wiggle out to the center of the court where they
perform the cheers, gleefully shaking their
nether regions to the delight of the fans, who
applaud madly after each sporting "Rah, Rah,
Rah!" But seriously, the cheerleaders are a
great asset to the fans and players alike. It is
their spirit, enthusiasm, and loud mouths that
generate the kind of noise that the West Geor-
gia fans are famous for.

The 1 973 edition of the West Georgia Braves
was one of the college's best baseball teams.
Led by Coach Archie White, the Braves com-
piled a 23 and 9 record, and placed second in
the Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic Confer-
ence. The Braves fell just short of Shorter Col-
lege for the crown.
Our Braves placed five men on the All-Con-
ference Team. They were catcher Phil Wil-
liams, centerfielder Tim Dedmon, rightfielder
Steve Traylor, pitcher Ricky Camp, and second
baseman Rick Payne. In addition, Payne also
received West Georgia's Scholastic Athlete
Award for his 3.7 grade-point average.
In the District 25 NAIA Tournament the
Braves were without the services of leading hit-
ters Dedmon and Traylor who collided in the
Braves final conference game. However, the
Braves had Valdosta State 2-1 for seven
innings before finally dumping the game by
leaving as many as eight men on base.
The 1 974 edition of the Braves features
many returning starters and a fine pitching
staff. This team promises to be one of the finest
ever fielded at West Georgia College.

Returns to WGC
After several years' absence, soccer has
returned to West Georgia on an intercollegiate
basis. The sport is not funded by the school as
are the school's major sports. The activity
came about through the efforts of the West
Georgia Soccer Club,
The general manager of the club for fall
quarter, 1973, was Dr. Dave Dugan, and the
team was under the field direction of Coach Ed
Lambert,
When proposals to go ahead with the project
were realized, Dr, Dugan hastily arranged a
six-game schedule in which the team partici-
pated. With more adequate planning and prac-
tice next year, the team should be much
improved. Hopefully, it will receive more sanc-
tion from the school's athletic department.
WGC Takes GIAC Crown

Back Row: (I to r) Dr. Tom Leaming, Steven Holmes, Larry Schnall, Harold Morris, Steve Smith, Peter Smith, Larry Masters
Under the able direction of Coach Tom
Leaming, the 1973 West Georgia tennis team
captured the Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference title for the third consecutive year.
The WGC men met their toughest competition
in the GIAC tournament from the Shorter Col-
lege Hawks. The Braves captured seven of the
nine matches in the tournament, with Shorter
taking the remaining two.
After winning the Conference title, the West
Georgia netters advanced to the District
Twenty-Five Playoffs of the National Associa-
tion of Intercollegiate Athletics. The winner of
this tournament advanced to the national com-
petition in Kansas City. The Braves were edged
in this tournament, placing second. Joey Phe-
lan and Sam Stovall were selected as Most Val-
uable Players for the year.
The West Georgia Tennis Team will be much
improved in the 1974 season with many of last
year's starters returning and the addition of
several talented freshmen. With this squad the
Braves should have a fine chance for a trip to
Kansas City.

Last Yearns Star
Veteran is the word to describe the 1973-
1 974 West Georgia track and field teams. Nine
individuals that participated in the NAIA out-
door track and field competition will compose
the nucleus of this fine team. They are led by
Larry Turner in the 440 yard dash, Jessie
Fields in the triple jump, and Joe LaBoone who
finished fourth in the NAIA national tournament
in the pole-vault, with a jump of 15 feet 2
inches.
Gary Smith is the co-record holder in the 60
yard high hurdles with a time of 7.4 seconds
for the school. He was joined this year in
indoor and outdoor competition by Doug
Miller.
In addition to Turner, West Georgia had two
strong quarter-milers in the sprints, Randy
Houston and Wesley Brown, who also com-
pose half of the mile relay team, which is sure
to be a national contender. Brown is also a
competitor in both the long and triple jumps.
The Cross-Gountry team, which won the first
South Atlantic Conference trophy in the sport,
was led by Seniors David Harris and Ernie Rai-
ney.

Heroes Volley Their Way
The West Georgia College women's volley-
ball team carried the name of our school to the
campus of Worster College in Worster, Ohio,
for the national volleyball tournament in
December, 1 973. This was the second straight
year that the "Heroes" were participants in the
national competition. They achieved this honor
by placing second in the Southeastern
Regional Tournament in November at WGC.
They were defeated only by Florida State Uni-
versity in the championship match.
However, when tournament time rolled
around, it seemed that there was not enough
money in the till for the Heroes to make the trip.
In order to fill the coffers, the women were
forced to borrow money to cover expenses,
the loan to be repayed winter quarter by the
team. When a college team has a chance to
represent its school in a national tournament, a
sorry state of affairs has been reached when
finances are insufficient for the trip.
The Heroes, under the able direction of Miss
Dot McNabb, placed ninth in the nation at the
tournament, in which twenty-four schools par-
ticipated.

The Bravettes, the dance-drill team of West
Georgia College, perform at the halftime of all
the Braves' basketball home games. The Bra-
vettes are under the competent guiding hand
of veteran performer Wren Gaston.
This year, the WGC Bravettes received a
special honor. On January 27, 1974, they trav-
eled to the Omni in Atlanta and performed at
halftime of the Atlanta Hawks basketball tilt
with the New York Knickerbockers. This game
was televised nationwide by the CBS television
network's "NBA Game of the Week."
No matter how the game turns out on a bas-
ketball night at WGC, one thing the crowds will
be pleased with is the halftime show, as long as
the Bravettes are featured.

spirit at West Georgia College.

WGC Golfers Really Know How to Swini
The West Georgia College Golf Team, as a
rule, receives little or no recognition during
spring" quarter in Carrollton. They should, how-
ever, for the Braves' linksmen continue to rep-
resent the college in fine fashion at Sunset Hills
Country Club and other courses around the
state. Last year the golf team lost only three
matches during the regular season, each
match by a mere one or two strokes. At the
Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
Tournament, the Braves led the field until the
final nine holes of competition. They hung in
there, however, and finished second in the
conference. In 1974, the West Georgia Golf
Team, under the guidance of a new coach, Mr.
Skip Yow, was expecting another fine season.

Vest Georgia's Trio of Majorettes Performs at Braves Games
This year, although the personnel was cut in
half, the Majorettes performed at the halftinnes
of the Braves basketball games. Composed of
two veterans, Karen Friedline and Patti Willis,
and one rookie, Patti Johnson, the girls con-
tended with miscued records and often unsym-
pathetic crowds. However, considering that
the ovations were more than courteous, it
would seem that the basketball fans did enjoy
the Majorettes' routines.

Intramural Sports Action
Goal Line Glory!
The West Georgia College Student Intramu-
ral Association is the governing body of the
activities that are enjoyed by several hundred
students annually. The complaints lodged
against the intramurals are as numerous as the
students. Up until this year, one of the most fre-
quent complaints was about the ineptness of
the students who officiated the games. In an
attempt to improve this situation, a clinic was
held to be attended by all student officials. The
officiating improved somewhat; however, the
officials remained the scapegoats for many lost
games.

A controversy arose in the fall of 1973, when attention
was called to the fact that the unbridled consumption of
alcoholic beverages had reached a new high at athletic
events. In other words, people were drinking like fish,
which is definitely against college regulations, when it
occurs on school property. Although the practice was
indeed a long-standing one, a furor was aroused not only
in S.I.A. circles, but also in Mandeville Hall in the office of
Charles E. Smith, Dean of Student Services. Calling a spe-
cial meeting of intramural team managers. Dean Smith
asked that the students work to curb the problem them-
selves, rather than force college officials to take action.
Although the drinking continued unabated, attention was
not called to it again, perhaps unwisely.

Fall quarter the Chi Omega sisters spread their
wings by adding 16 new pledges to their sorority.
These pledges have many things to look forward
to in sisterhood by participating in the Muscular
Dystrophy campaign, the Sigma Nu all Sing,
Greek Week, Sweepstakes, the Annual Easter
Egg Hunt for faculty children, and the annual
White Carnation Ball. From participating in vari-
ous activities, the sisters have won first place in
the Ciiariot Race, and first place in the Softball

Goes to Chi PhVs
The Chi Phi's received their Charter on May
18, 1973, which was an exciting day for the
brothers and their parents. Besides having par-
ties all year round, the Chi Phi's took time out
to win the Scholastic Award for fraternities. The
Chi Phi's participate in the Muscular Dystrophy
campaign, and spend Easter with underprivi-
leged children. One year was not good enough
for the Chi Phi's to win the Blood Drive, but two
years may have to hold them until next year.
Chi Phi's are also known to put away a few
kegs of beer, pick up hay in the middle of the
night after hay rides, and have parties any-
where, anytime.

the future. Participating in the Circle K Blood

There is nothing like a house to bring a
brotherhood even closer together. With the
acquisition of their new house on Bowen
Street, the Brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon have
surely proven as much; for along with a new
house they also acquired an outstanding
group of new pledges and new TEKI's. Their
activities include an annual Red Carnation Ball
and senni-annual TKE Road-Rally. Public Serv-
ice Projects include lightbulb sales for the
Lions Club and the Blood Drive. The TKE's
have received recognition by placing second in
the Georgia Tech TKE Spring Rest, winning
first place in the Public Service Weekend, and
receiving a certificate of recognition from the
Optimist Club. The spirit of Tau Kappa Epsilon
is one of growing enthusiasm. They are contin-
ually showing that the TKE stands not for
wealth, rank, or honor but for personal worth
and character.

Chieftain Survives in Spite of Itself
Hampered by a low budget, apathetic stu-
dent body, and a deranged editor and staff, the
Chieftain has survived another year at West
Georgia College. The constantly missed dead-
lines, over-exposed photographs, and uncoop-
erative organizations have led us all to the
brink of insanity and hopefully produced a rea-
sonably good yearbook. Our special thanks go
to the SGA for not totally destroying our mea-
ger budget. Staff member of the year award
goes to Martin Mosteller for his frequent fits of
rage which kept us all entertained.

Thirty-seven Fridays yearly, the West Geor-
gian is published and distributed at West Geor-
gia College, serving as a means ot communi-
cating the news, of entertaining the reader,
and of bringing about desired changes through
the voicing of editorial opinions.
The West Georgian is a faithful recorder of
the every day history written on campus. In
addition, journalism students have the oppor-
tunity to watch text-book lessons turn into
practical, valuable experience.
Nerves thin as the twilight sinks to darkness,
then to dawn, but all are rewarded when the
final piece yearly continues to win state and
national awards.
