TO THE STUDENT PERSONNEL OF
WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE:

The faculty joins me in giving to you a most hearty and
cordial welcome. Our campus is a friendly place. This
pamphlet is printed for your information by Student Activi-
ties Committee. We hope that it contains information
which will aid you. The suggestions herein listed have
been found helpful 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 fall 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 Ihe^r advisors, who assist them in selecti\ig
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 cuslom: customs that are becoming tra-
ditions.

HI

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 surround-
ings 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.

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 sportsmanlike con-
duct on all occasions.

CHRISTMAS CAROLSThen 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.

PLAYS Plays are an important part of our college pro-
gram. 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 pleasures and eti-
quette of theatre going. A really good college play is re-
membered as an outstanding event of that college year.
One play is usually presented each quarter.

SPRING QUARTER ACTIVITIES The spring quarter ushers
in our busiest time. Such important events as: Religious
Emphasis Week; Parents' Day; Annual Hobby Show; 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 a 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 d 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

v/here we learM 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-
tional institution where we depend so largely on certain
sounds for instruction and learnirlg, sounds out of place
are the rankest kind of educationdr 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 arid 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
ihe fall quarter, membership in 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
Student Activities Committee.

The V/est 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 West Georgian staff are chosen through try-outs held

(4)

by the new editor 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 College has maintained a choral organiza-
tion of merit throughout its history. The present choral

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
