WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE
Carrollton, Georgia
I N thumbing through this volume perhaps a familiar face, a well
remembered campus view will bring trouping across the years remem-
brances of youthful ideas, of happy college days in the year 1941 when we
were living, learning, and working together. Through the years our memories
grow dim and become a hazy mass . . . teachers remembered with love,
friends lost with time, favored nooks forgotten, dances, current affairs . . .
bright threads of memory wound around hearts.
It is our purpose in presenting this year's CHIEFTAIN to bring to you
in the future these memories and dreams of the days spent on the West
Georgia campus . . . careless, collegiate days . . .

The Home Economics Department, including sewing rooms,
food laboratory and lecture rooms, the shops, and the Rural
Life classrooms are found in the Rural Arts Building. Here,
in the music room, many students while away their hours
listening to the great works of music of all time. It was this

WHAT is it that makes West Georgia
different? . . . makes Genola UNIQUE? ... not
the junior college, the teacher-training program
... or its buildings strung along Adamson Me-
morial Highway . . . but its PEOPLE . . . those
who work and obey so obediently that honorable,
unwritten law cooperation . . . from charming
Mr. Ingram and the Administration . . . learned
faculty . . . lowly "rats" dabbed with orange and
black paint . . . sophomores with tales of last
year's gay experiences . . . privileged juniors and
the newly-born third year ... all "hard at it" in
class, in lab, or in community . . . from all these
and everyone who works for West Georgia ... to
all of these runs the spirit of cooperation ... it
is this spirit of having their "noses to the grind-
stone" that has made the college click . . . that
has MADE West Georgia.

SOPHOMORES . . . Back again to take up projects we'd left, to complete plans we talked
about during our first year "away at school."
It was a real thrill to ride back through the gateways and see the campus spread out before us
promising us another year of work and play. We wondered happily what this year might hold.
Now we know . . . it's been a fruitful year with its pleasures and its disappointments. Coopera-
tion among students has been foremost . . . cooperation leading to hilarious stunt night, winning
basketball teams, conferences, new Sunday night suppers, and Saturday night socials in the gym. All
this has blended to make campus life more wholesome, more unified..
With a bit of a love affair, class work, activities, a sprinkling of this, a smattering of that . . .
we've finished our year as sophomores. A few perhaps will be numbered among next year's third year
group . . . but most of us will be alumni looking back to the time when we and our friends spent
happily our days on West Georgia's campus.

FRESHMEN 280 of us passed throush
the gates to West Georgia, wandered through the
maze of orientation, and learned the ways of the
college. Then we began to work; every club received
at least one member of our class. Three of our group
made the Varsity Basketball Team. We entered into
the other activities wholeheartedly . . . Freshman
Day and the Freshman Dance . . . The first and last
affairs. The Day was full of fun and good sportsman-
ship and trying to learn the tongue-twister creed;
and the dance was the biggest and best of the
year. With a year full of mixed emotions . . . hap-
piness and homesickness, fun and gloom, shocks
and adjustments, we think: one year has gone . . .
one more of new and different experiences to go.
The first days
are the hardest.

THE education of rural teachers at West Georgia
College is based upon the belief that the rural school can and
should contribute to the solution of many of the problenns of
its community. Its teachers must know how to discover the spe-
cific needs of the community and they should be conscious of
the relation of the school community to the regional and na-
tional scenes. They must understand the principles of commu-

to have more time in preparing for rural positions. The group
has been carefully selected and limited in number so that the
work might be intensive rather than extensive until it has been
further developed.

OUR one aim in the production of this yearbook has been to so represent our daily hfe at
West Georgia . . . through pictures and write-ups . . . that when reading it, a day in the college
year 1940-41 will be relived.
Babb, Bonner, and Ramsay have been the key men in the production. They encouraged writers, urged
good coverage of activities, tried to erase the worried expressions of the staff.
Approaching deadlines always brought their fears. There was a rush to have pictures taken. Layouts
had to be made. Staff members burned the midnight oil. Carbon copies were turned out by the ever-
noisy typewriters. There were delays and disappointments. There were broken pencil points and jangled
nerves.
Now we take a glance backwaid. We had a task. It is done . . . how well, you are to judge. It will
not be perfect, for no annual is. Accept our apologies, our thanks, our best wishes. It was fun!

WORKING under the handicap of
inexperience, the WEST GEORGIAN staff as-
sumed the herculean task of maintaining the
standard of excellence that had the publica-
tion in the top ranks of Junior College news-
papers.
Students of the college were afforded en-
tertaining feature material, complete coverage
of major chapel addresses, staff descriptions
of the sports events, society items, news of
club activities. Pertinent, thought provoking
editorials and three columns, appearing in
each issue, were filled with interesting com-

THE object of the Press Forum is
to stimulate and promote interest in jour-

standard of journalism at West Georgia. To
the members of the organization this ob-
jective is one of greatest significance and
one admittedly requiring continued effort
on the part of enthusiastic students.
During the fall quarter the club, in realiz-
ing its objective, added a literary quarterly
to the campus publications. The new maga-
zine was christened the GEN PEN. Leroy

COACH Taylor's West Georgia Braves,
employing a system and style of play designed
to net points, ended at Tifton one of the best
hardwood seasons in the history of the school.
Sixteen games won of the seventeen played dur-
ing the regular season is an excellent record in
any league. Three games won and one lost in the
State Tournament is also an excellent record.
The winning of an all-tournament position by
Paul Rogers, who scored 60 points in four games
and 328 during the season, two All-Southern
Coach and Athlete forwards, the famous Rogers
cousins, and honorable mention regarding a
tournament guard's position by Dickie Butler are
additional honors not to be forgotten. The Braves
scored 943 points to 700 for their opposition.
The 1941 quintet, led by Captain Dan Rogers
who was the only regular returning from last year's
star squad, opened the season by downing^ the
boys from Southern Union College, a traditional
opening opponent, 32-25. Three nights later a
greatly improved team subdued the Carrollton
Redskins 49-19.
Reinhardt College was defeated on their court
36-15 to begin a series of campaigns which saw
successful action on many fronts including Geor-

.gia Evening College, Gordon Military College,
Rabun Gap College, Young Harris College, North
Georgia College, and Fort Benning. The winning
streak ran to twelve consecutive games before
the Braves invaded North Georgia at Dahlonega
on February 8 and lost to a. good teann on a
small court 49-34. The charges of Coach Taylor
recoiled from this set-back to win the remainder
of their games, which included the City Cham-
pionship of Carrollton, and a trip to the State
Tournament with the best record of any team in
the State.
The Tournament fireworks began in Tifton with
the Braves tangling with the Cadets from North
Georgia. Two extra periods were needed to down
the Cadets and their band 48-46. This game was
won by Dickie Butler. Coming up from the bot-
tom of a pile of Cadets, he cork-screwed himself
upward, dropping the ball through the basket as
the final whistle sounded. This was undoubtedly
the best game of the Tournament play-off, with
the cunning precision in timing plays, long range
artillery, and excellent team work by each boy
on the floor. The Golden Stallions from Abraham
Baldwin lost a heart-breaking game to the Braves
in the second round 36-35. Mike Herndon's boys
from South Georgia College were too much and
the second game of the season was lost. The
Braves capped the third-place trophy by out-
lasting the Geechies from Armstrong College,
40-30.
COACH RHEA A. TAYLOR
MANAGER IRWIN DYER
The Braves have promise of another great team
next year. Captain Dan Rogers, forward, and Billy
Denton, guard, are the only losses, provided
Uncle Sam doesn't think Paul Rogers can do more
for him than for West Georgia. Roy McGraw,
center, is Captain-elect for the coming year.

last roll is called in the spring sports enthusiasts in
every field find time to participate in some activity.
Speedball is the major event in the fall with the
boys' physical ed. classes vying for the BEST TEAM.
Twelve letters were given to the winning team. With
basketball in the winter quarter there were grand
displays of constant practice, excellent teamwork,
and sportsmanship. Six boy and six girl players were
presented intramural letters for their outstanding
work on the court. Tennis tournaments are held both
in the fall and in the spring. During the tournaments
the courts were crowded with players working hard
to win their matches. To the five top-ranking girls
and to the five top-ranking boys in both the fresh-
man and sophomore classes intramural letters were
given. Intramural Softball is a real attraction in the
spring. The series is played in two divisions, the
winner of each division clashing for a final victory.
The winning team received eleven intramural letters.
These physical education activities foster a feel-
ing of friendly rivalry, fraternity, good sportsman-
ship, and instill a joy for play among all participants.

THE F. F. A. Chapter at West Georgia sponsored its second basketball team this season.
Against strong competition they won five out of ten games scheduled. The team was composed of
hi. S. Pinyan, captain and center; Jessie Russell, Paul Dent, Robert Rogers, and Marion King, forwards;
hHarold Nix, Ralph Pitchford, and Albert Browning, guards; and Ralph Skinner, manager.
Pinyan's smooth passing directed the offense with Dent and Russell leading the scoring. In the de-
fense Nix and Pitchford proved most outstanding. Coach Gurley has high hopes for next year's team

The Magic Word of the Southland
WHAT OTHER SINGLE CROP CONTRIBUTES MORE BOUNTIFULLY
TO THE NEEDS OF MANKIND?
EACH FLUFFY WHITE BOLL yields its multitude of uses. All of us know^ that its
lint clothes the world and sends into the channels of industry many necessities and
luxuries that add to man's comfort, well-being and happiness.
TOO FEW, however, know and appreciate the contents of the tiny seeds that nature
has so carefully wrapped and protected by the lint to which they cling.
THESE SEEDS are storehouses of wealth for the South, furnishing the raw material
from which is made the most valuable single feed for livestock and the delicate,
tasty oils and fats sought after by the housewives of the Nation.
WHETHER man travels by rail, highway, or air, the contents of the cotton boll con-
tribute to his safety and comfort. At war or at peace, he is constantly making use
of some by-product of this little seed.

JUST RROUnO THE CORnER!
September 19 Freshmen see what West Georgia really looks like and donate a little money to the cause.
September 20 Freshmen seem to be happy in spite of placement tests.
September 21 Freshmen still meandering around the campus and getting a taste of college life.
September 22 New and old romances have started. It is just something that naturally goes along with college life
it must be the altitude.
September 23 Some sophs come trickling in, a few pour in. West Georgia student body is slowly but surely growing
larger. There is great rejoicing when these DEAR friends meet again. Physical exams begin.
September 24 Still more sophomores pour in and still more physical examinations.
September 25 Classes, and Buddy Floyd starts lining up his women.
September 26 A. T. J. is hanging around a certain little freshman.
September 27 Rotten eggs, rotten tomatoes, rotten apple ah, just anything rotten Freshman Boys' Initiation. This
is just about the most "punishment" the sophs can inflict upon the "f^ats."
September 28 A lost few Bond without Stark; Longino without Green; Cooper without Appleby; Sims without Dun-
away; Morgan without Robinson; Lewis without Whittemore and West Georgia without Waits.
September 29 Boys arc "happy about the whole thing" now that that's over.
September 30 Soap, wash rags, towels, housecoats, hair rolled on rags Say! What is this? Ah! 'Tis only girls' RAT
DAY. The array of freshmen are marched into town by the honorable sophomores and compelled to sing "Glory, Glory to
the Sophomores."
October 8 The first West Georgian. You really should have seen the look on the freshmen faces when we gave them
away. You see. Bill Cleghorn had been selling subscriptions, also "showers." IMAGINE!!!
October 10 Bond without Stark? She doesn't look so lonesome to me. Jenkins is playing football but he's on the
second string.
October 12 Girls in their party dresses ^the first formal dance. Remember!!!
Sorry, I don't have the slightest idea as to the date but anyway .
A certain little freshman girl asks someone to show her Maggie Pearl Botts. "Well, well, imagine that!" .
A room in the Rural Arts Building, not the dark room, was opened up with brand new furniture and record player for
music appreciation.
Time out for Thanksgiving holidays and turkey. Girls, you get to see the boys back home and boy, if you stay at home
long enough you might even reform. W. G. C. has its effect on people. A few little Rome girls had never been kissed,
they sa:d, until they came down here. Of course we aren't questioning them or calling any names.
"[Republican?" . . . "No!" . . . "Democrat?" . . . "Well " "What's your platform?" "Water, Grits, and Corn-
bread." That's just a few expressions that came as a result of the election for freshman officers. It was an election of elec-
tions! Boys West Georgia, 32; Southern Union, 25. Girls West Georgia, 24; Southern Union, 17.
Our first basketball game, and very exciting, too. The "Rogers Boys" swing out. Loughridge (what did you say, Butler?)
and Gosdin don't lose any time either.
Cooper and his women er, pardon me, his woman. "Seagram" you're up now. See how long you can stay put. Didn't
you room with "Gracie" Allen last year? O. K., then.
If there were as many gangsters and such around this institution as there are sissies, we could take over Alcatraz and
make a private Honky Tonk out of it.
Christmas Holidays .
If those posts on the front of Mandeville Hall could talk Van Wright would murder them before sunrise.
Hootie has missed breakfast again for the third straight time. The other nine people at his table are getting fat now.
36 per cent 64 per cent.

Freeman can't make up his mind about a girl friend.
Reinhardt Basketball teams $3.00.
Ben Payne takes up smoking well, can you imagine that? I guess he had us fooled. Maybe he is a W. G. C. boy after
all.
Some of these annual proofs are definite proof for the theory of evolution that the 102 biology class has been
studying.
We hear that Raymond Muggridge keeps a bottle handy for all occasions.
Speaking of bottles ask Hammond about that bottle he carried sround for a week by mistake several hours after
he came back from Spring Holidays.
Margaret Burdette, I hear your roommate, Virginia Lewis, finally made up her mind even though a little short guy
still hangs around. Now think hard, who will it be?
Wonder why Charlotte Weil goes home every week-end, I guess Bill knows why. Mary Clonts' interests, all of them
are centered on BRUCE at GEORGIA.
Margaret Conner hostess in dining hall Carlton J. old flames burn again (Raymond).
These chemistry wizards "Bunker" Hill, Joe Harris, Byrice Stewart, Dannie Gillis, or Sara Flournoy (??).
Rozelle Hyatt W. G. C. Fields? No! W. C. Yarbrough.
Buddy Floyd might have had a little trouble lining up his women but I think Mary Longino heads the line now.
Glynn Nations and Johnnie Brownlee roommates. Cooperative workers Ed and Cotter, respectively.
A certain freshman boy is doing some good substitution for Frank L. with Buddye Siagle, it seems to me.
Mary Ella, is it Bubba or Jack?
Mada, is it or Fred?
I hear "Lump" Hudson is kinda "sweet" on the younger of the Loughridge sisters.
Leon Storms He may be a New Yorker but he has lots of Southern friends, eh amusing, too.
The Rev. Dan Brewster joins us for another year and lines up his lady friends as before.
Grace Leach has a fond feeling toward the Duke of Windsor.
Harriet Fincher and Connie Rowe after lo, these many, many months.
Can Jeanette B. do the "hula?" Ask some of the girls in Adamson Hail.
"Peggy" Farrar now what's the word, oh, yea Reuben!
Katherine Hooks and a sheik from Bowdon What's all this about?
Lil, "Dalur," Mimi, and Peggy have a time in the dorm and the room next to the Ward, too. How do you do it,
girls?
Orchids to Dannie Gillis she can still keep that sweet disposition and live in a mad house, too.
Alice Swint has a new "Bob."
"Teeny" Tankersley is dest'ned to go with a "Dan." She has gone with two in the past two years.
Anna and Jane roommates and two smart gals they're doing O. K. for themselves.
Onions to all who helped darken the desks of many an upright citizen by publishing this CHIEFTAIN. Thanks. Don't
mind me really it was all in fun. Well, we've about run out of stuff "Dat's all chillun."
W. G. C. expressions:
"I MEAN she REALLY did."
"Got my pores open."
"Get your frame out of the way."
'I'll bat h out of you."
