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 
year that the Carnegie Foundation gave a music set and a 
library of classical music for student use.

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-

art of community development. A third year of work for stu- 
dents in teacher education has been added this year in order 
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- 
ments.

THE object of the Press Forum is 
to stimulate and promote interest in jour- 
nalistic activities and to maintain a high 
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 
Strain was chosen editor and Melba Morgan 
was selected as head of the production 
staff.

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.

SPEEDBALL . . . tennis . . . basketball 
. . . ping pong . . . badminton . . . golf . . .

phase of intramural activity. From early fall until the 
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 
since most of the players are returning.

The Carrollton 
Junior Chamber of Commerce 

composed of many of the city's young business men, a number of 
whom are West Georgia College graduates, is a live, constructive force 
in the community and its reason for being is that it may build up the 
community, encourage commercial, industrial, agricultural, social, moral 
and religious activity and whatever tends to the well-being and progress 
of the community in every right and legitimate avenue or line of 

endeavor. 



Character . . . 



is honor ... a high sense of personal responsibility and 
respect for one's obligations, and every young man 
and woman has the right to be trained in the tenets of 
honesty and fairness . . . otherwise his education is 
incomplete ... his chance for success is impaired.

COTTON 

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. 



122 



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."
