The Gunn hlouse, with Its picturesque sur- roundings, Is an example of many of the earlier structures still adding their usefulness and beauty to the campus. The library, now that it has been enlarged and refur- bished, provides comfortable and adequate space, which Is conducive to study and research.

PROLOGUE jii f ' r ; i J ! i lill.lj V-i i-m i The year I960 has brought many changes to West Georgia College. Perhaps the most prominent among the material changes was the com- pletion of a building program. Through this program, several new buildings were erected. The modern Education Building has proved an Invaluable asset to both students and faculty. The annex to Mandeville Dormi- tory provided housing for 60 girls, as well as a well-equipped clinic. Other significant changes were the extensive addition to the library and the new maintenance warehouse. These new buildings are proof of the ever growing, ever changing needs of any college, and particu- larly West Georgia as it continues to progress and take its place among the top institutions of higher educa- tion in the state. 10

One of the most outstanding events of the year, especially for Freshmen, is their initiation during Rat Week. Many dances are held throughout the year; sig- nificant among them this year were the Halloween Ball and the Sweetheart Dance. These activities give the students an opportunity to enjoy themselves and to contribute to their so- cial and cultural development. 12
