TO THE STUDENT PERSONNEL OF 
WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE: 

The faculty joins me in giving to you o most hearty and 
cordial welcome. Our campus is a friendly place. This 
pamphlet is printed for your information by the officer 
club. We hope that it contains information which will aid 
you. The suggestions herein listed have been found help- 
ful by our faculty and students. Therefore we pass them 
on to you. 

Respectfully, 
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 open- 
ing of classes for the fail quarter. These days are spent 
in acquainting the new student with his fellow students, the 
college faculty and the college in general. Inspection 
trips are made to the different buildings and to different 
parts of the campus. Social and recreational hours are 
planned for faculty and students. Students become ac- 
quainted with their advisor who assists them in selecting 
their courses and in making out their schedule for the fall 
quarter. Physical examinations and educational tests are 
given. 

REMARKS BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE STUDENT 
ACTIVITY COMMITTEE: 

Traditions are a way of life in any college community. 
This mode of living is characteristic of ladies and gentle- 
men the world over. Such statements, as college bred; 
tolerant and understanding; a scholar and a gentleman  
all spring from that indefinable something we attain 
through living in and becoming a 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 tra- 
ditions. 

(1) 



WELCOMING NEW STUDENTS One custom which is 
greatly enjoyed by those participating is that of old stu- 
dents arriving early to welcome new students. These stu- 
dents help new students get acquainted with new sur- 
roundings and try to make them feel at home as quickly 
as possible. 

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 sportsman- 
ship for both Freshmen and Sophomores. This parade is 
to take place of all other forms of initiation for new 
students. 

CHRISTMAS CAROLS Then just before the Christmas 
holidays the college chorus always arranges a program of 
carols, first presented at the college, and then sung out of 
doors here and there about town. This gesture of good- 
will and friendliness is appreciated by the entire com- 
munity. 

BASKETBALL  The major sport during the winter quarter 
is basketball. West Georgia's 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. 

FOOTBALL  The opening of the fall quarter ushers in 
the football season. Football is a comparatively new 
sport at the college and students have shown sportsman- 
like conduct on all occasions. 

PLAYS  Plays are an important part of our winter quar- 
ter program. The experience of being in a play is of 
great value to the actors. The audience profits vicariously 
by a new experience and by learning some of the plea- 
sures and etiquette of theatre going. A really good col- 
lege play is remembered as an outstanding event of that 
college year. 

m 



ANNUAL STUNT NIGHT Every winter Zeta Sigma Pi, 
sponsors a stunt night, offering prizes to organizations 
presenting the cleverest and most hilarious skit. 

SPRING QUARTER ACTIVITIES The spring quarter ushers 
in our busiest time. Such important events as: Religious 
Emphasis Week; Parents' Day; Annual Hobby Shov^; many 
parties and banquets; the yearly Home Coming Concert; 
Alumni Day, and the colorful Final Dance are all extra- 
curricular activities that have taken on the character of 
traditions because they are ardently supported. The rea- 
son these activities live and continue year in and year out 
is that we like doing them and support them whole- 
heartedly. 

All these things have become customary, even traditional 
at West Georgia. But there are many practices, more gen- 
eral perhaps, that should be traditional, on any campus. 

DATES  It is, a matter of good taste among ladies and 
gentlemen on c college campus to conduct themselves on 
a date so as to conform to the best social customs. 

CAMPUS  This same good taste should keep us from 
walking on the grass, throwing rubbish or otherwise mar- 
ring the beauty of our campus. 

CHAPEL  At West Georgia College, Chapel serves a fun- 
damental necessity. It is a part of our group meetings. 
Here we come to feel that we are all a part of this col- 
lege. The audience reaction and response in chapel is 
important. A quiet attentive audience is a helpful atmos- 
phere to any chapel. 

DINING HALL  For very good biological reasons you 
have to eat three times a day. Anything we have to do 
that often should be as interesting and colorful as possi- 
ble. The dining hall could be the place on this campus 
where we learn some valuable lessons in etiquette. There 
is nothing which puts one so ill at ease as not to know 
how to eat. 

NOISES  Noises may be defined as sounds out of place 
 just as weeds are plants out of place. In an educa- 

(3) 



tional institution where we depend so largely on certain 
sounds for instruction and learning, sounds out of place 
are the rankest kind of educational weeds. 

WORK AND PLAY 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 living up to our 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 ACTIVITY 

Student activities and organizations are an important 
part of life at West Georgia. Among the various clubs 
and activities every student should find something to stim- 
ulate his interest. 

The faculty hopes that everyone will avail himself of the 
chance to participate in some manner in the community 
life of the college as represented by these organizations. 
The faculty has found that participation in too many activi- 
ties at one time has frequently been detrimental to the 
student. 

All activities are under the general supervision of a spe- 
cial committee. Each club must present to this committee 
a general program for the year and a definite program 
for the quarter. Each activity must present a financial re- 
port to this committee at the end of each quarter and an 
annual report at the end of the spring quarter. During 
the fall quarter, membership m these organizations is open 
to all students. A student must withdraw from an organ- 
ization if he attends less than 66 per cent of the meetings 
per quarter. Refusal to participate within a club or re- 
fusal to take assignments in certain other organizations 
constitutes grounds for immediate dismissal from the or- 
ganization. 

WHAT IS YOUR INTEREST? 

A description of activities for Students, prepared by the 
Officers Club:

The West Georgian, student newspaper, is as old as 
West Georgia College itself. The editor is chosen in the 
annual all-student election held at the end of the spring 
quarter for the following school year. Other members of 
the Wesf Georgian staff are chosen through try-outs held 
by the new edilor and the faculty advisor at the beginning 
of each school year. Students who are interested or ex- 
perienced in journalism are urged to come to these try- 
outs, 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. 

The Chieftain, West Georgia's yearbook, was so named 
because the Indian was the emblem of the college. The 
first issue of The Chieftain appeared in the spring of 1934. 

The editor is chosen each year from the student body by 
popular vote. The other members of the staff are chosen 
by means of try-outs for which any student is eligible. 
Staff members are selected from those students who in the 
try-outs show more interest and ability in journalistic and 
editorial work. 

The Chieftain has been awarded first honor ratings sev- 
eral times by the National Scholastic Press Association. 

WEST GEORGIA A CAPELLA CHOIR 
West Georgia College has maintained a choral organiza- 
tion of merit throughout its history. The present choral 
organization is knov/n as the West Georgia A Capella 
Choir. Members are selected by a series of aptitude tests 
which extend over a period of eight weeks. In 1941 the 
committee on the course of study authorized that one 
course credit be given for satisfactory participation in the 
choir for three consecutive quarters. 

The purpose of the choir is to provide satisfying exper- 
iences to students with interest and talent in music and to 
supply appropriate music for various needs on the campus 
and in the surrounding community. 

Meetings are held each Wednesday at 7:30 P. M., Tues-

return for the next quarter. He may apply for reentrance 
after one quarter, but will do so on probation.

ing a previous quarter a student must do passing grade
