They who have been accustomed to living in a limited family are now to become members of West Georgia's wide "family group." Honorable sophomores initiate "Rats" in fine style with the faculty to the rescue with the first formal to welcome new students. Classes be- gin and still-wondering frosh learn what work really is. One good time after another balanced with hard work. Sports, new clubs and old, books, unheard-of studies capture the minds of the freshmen crop. Holidays. Each time they grow more eager to return. Now full-fledged members of W. G. C. they sense that they belong, that they have found their place. New facts, new faces, new friends, have all been learned. All too soon '41 -'42 is over and with sad hearts the "soph- omores-to-be" leave with vivid memories of their first year of college! ANNA FRANCES ALSABROOK Senoia, Ga. MADGE BOWMAN Dallas, Ga.

The third year teacher program is based upon the belief that many of the southern problems can be solved and will be solved by the rural teacher through the rural schools. With this in mind, the junior class students are bearing mw responsi- bilities that will enable them to begin in the building of a new era in the South. This third year of work has been made possible by Rosenwald Aid and Knight Templars scholarships. A select group has been obtained for this work. The type of work the junior student docs is paralleled to that of the child in the laboratory schools, but at a college level of growth. Each student's background of experience is kept in mind and he is helped to keep that which is his own strength, color and beauty. At the same time, the student moves toward a solution of real problems in nutrition, general health, human relationships with all group levels, edu- cation procedures in schools, community study and organization, cooperative enter- prises, art, literature, music, crafts, and religion. Thus, with such a variety of experiences, these future teachers gain much to contribute to the future schools. 40 OFFICERS PRESIDENT SARA NELL POPHAM . . .

After graduation he came to Georgia and taught Physical Education at Greenville High School. Upon leaving Greenville he became instructor of Physical Education at Douglasville High School. During his five years stay at the tv/o high schools, he won 103 out of 122 basketball games played. Because of his capability and wide knowledge of recreational programs he was made head of the Physical Education Department of West Georgia College. Coach Carpenter has undoubtedly been outstand- ing in his system of athletic training. About thirty Braves answered Coach Carpenter's call to action, and started a winning season by downing Southern Union 39 to 20 for their first home game. Because of an accident that put an excellent guard, Herbert Bice, out of action, and college reg- ulations that eliminated some of the other best players, the Braves were forced to bow to sixteen opponents out of twenty-two. However, the Braves fought hard in every game. Realizing they were out-classed the Braves still fought with determination to win, demonstrating sportsmanship that would be a credit to any college. The most outstanding players for the 1941-42 season were Captain Roy McGraw with a total of 194 points; Roy Malcolm, Roy Whitener, and Her- bert Bice with 147, 117, and 108 points respect- ively. Manager W. R. "Sunshine" Chancey did an ex- cellent job in keeping the morale of the team at a high level.

She attended Winthrop College in Rock Hill, and was graduated from Louisiana State University. While doing her grad- uate work at L. S. U. she was instructor in Physical Education. After leaving there she became director of Physical Education at LaGrange College, La- Grange, Georgia. Realizing the importance of phy- sical fitness which determines to a large degree the keeness of mind. Miss Sturgis has well planned and carefully directed a program for the girls here. The Squaws of West Georgia ended a successful season by overrunning Reinhardt 30 to 21 making a total of four victories, three losses and one tie. They exchanged victory for defeat to all teams ex- cept Georgia Evening School, which the team only met in one game. For the season the team scored 206 points to 165 for their opponents. The high scorers were Ander- son, Barnes, Woodruff, and Mitchell with 66, 45, 40, and 35 respectively.

We couldn't help re- turning could we. Sophomores? Yes, the nnagnetic force was too great to let us stay away. We had to come back to finish what we had begun and to work even harder than ever before. The first year we found out what it was all about. This year we've tried to use that knowledge. The seriousness of the task before us, however, has not interferred with our having fun, for truly no one could have had more fun than we have had. Through the year we have enjoyed the coopera- tion of both the faculty members and our fellow students in classes, socials, and the many organiza- tions on the campus. All this has added up to a happy and most successful year. Some of our graduating class may return to com- plete a third year's work here. Others will secure jobs or continue their college career elsewhere. In the army or elsewhere we will know that our college days at West Georgia were well spent and that our later life will be enriched by them.

ADAMS MADALYNNE REGISTER BOB HILL ANDERSON 85 JACKSON VAUGHN BLAYLOCK STUDENT BODY OFFICERS The Student Body is headed by three competent leaders: Pres- ident Hubert Vaughn, Vice-President Ruth Blaylock, and Secretary and Treasurer Mary Bess Jackson. These three Sophomores direct activities and determine policies for the entire student group. Some of their many duties are to assist freshmen during Orientation Week and to arrange and conduct student elections in the Fall and Spring. Several mass meetings were held during the year to cope with various student problems. Through the efforts of these leaders many prob- lems were solved and goals reached in order to make our campus a better place in which to live. i VARSITY TENNIS 1*% CLARK, WHITENER, COCHRAN, LANG, BROWNING, FOLGER, ROGERS ALLISON SCHEDULE FOR 1942 March 27 Apr 14 .

The whole year 'round sports enthusiasts compete with each other in varied games, whether individually or on class or dormitory teams. Tennis was offered both in Fall and Spring quarters. Basketball was tops during the cold weather, and softball reigned in the Spring. This year the intramural sports for the girls were conducted by the W. A. W., of which organization each student was a member. Clubs were formed for each sport. The men's intramural sports were under the direction of the Men's Physical Education Department. Competition was keen and we were proud of each team for their constant work and practice. Many letters were awarded. Physical education is as much a part of West Georgia as the Ac Building, and these activities foster a feeling of good sportsmanship, rivalry, and fraternity. VARSITY TENNIS Among the Members of the Team were: COLQUITT, STRIPLIN, LOUGHRIDGE, HENSLEy Proudly presenting . . . girls' tennis . . . clubs were organized this year and tournaments played to determine how each girl progressed. Many lassies tried swing- ing the racket for the first time . . . older hands at the game improved their skill. General interest was shown by the enthusiastic gatherings at the court each after- noon. The girls worked hard and enjoyed every minute of it! . . . Tennis , . . like all other sports . . . contributes to cooperation and coordination.
