ABOUT THE COVER

The cover for this quarters edition of the BUGLER was done by our Art Editor, Bill Branch. Bill is a junior, and has done art work for both the BUGLER and Cyclops staffs, plus many caricature posters for campus organ- ml mWSk izations during the entire period that he has been here at N.G.C. He has never taken art lessons; he picked up his practical experience with his high school newspaper and here.

We are proud of this cover and the other work Bill has done for the BUGLER staff, and we believe that his work is a credit to the magazine. PAGE FOUR THE CADET BUGLER

THE CADET BUGLER PAGE NINE REPORT

TO: THE IMPERIAL SOCIETY OF AHCHAELOGICAL INQUESTS, Lhasa, Tibet, 263rd-day, Sevmonth, the year 3461, Post Bellum. SUBJECT: Findings of Ancient Civilization in the Southeast Sector of Northern Ocean- ia (formerly the Continent of North America). REPORT: #128COMDT, Section A.

My Inltelligent Superiors: The radioactive fallout in the southeastern sector of Northern Oceania has finally receded to the safety point, and my party and I have entered the area that is to be the subject of my reports. Our searches in this land mass have revealed much that will be of great aid as reference materials for our forthcoming volumes concerning world civili- zations that existed prior to the Eternal Peace. Opposing all previous presupposed con- cepts of ancient cultures, this series of reports will furnish the society with physical DECISION evidence, photographs, and films that will support the fact that there was once a thriving, but crude, civilization that protected this mass of land during the war that is called the IN Atomic Destruction. It is surprising to find that this particular area has remained intact throughout the fifteen centuries that have elapsed since the war. Moreover, it is even more unusual 1962 that this area retained the fallout for such a great length of time. Report #128COMDT, section A, will deal with one particular community located near the southern end of a A lieutenant in the torn uniform of a minor mountain range in the SE sector of Northern Oceania.

ONCE upon a time the editor of the Bugler had a brain- storm. She noticed all of the stray dogs - big ones, 1 it- le ones, friendly ones, rabid ones - lounging around the campus. She thought, 'Let's have a picture fea- MILITARY LIFE IS FOR THE DOGS." How AS0B ture called clever! So she talked to her associate editor and he said, "How cleverl" And she talked to her friends and they said, "How * clever I And she talked to the photographers and they said, "How cleverl" and ran to get their flash bulbs. That night a German shepherd thoughtfully strolled into the library and sat down at the Browsing Shelf and looked at Dean Acheson's Sketches from Life and smiled. The photographer scrambled in in time to get a lovely picture. And the editor thought, "How nice!" Then the editor decided to get a cute picture of the "E M Company mascot and the "G" Company mascot looking mean at each other. She asked the nice "E" and "G" compa- ny sweethearts to ask some nice "E" and "G" company football players to come be a pic- turesque background for the picture. And the nice football players grumbled and came. But the "E" Company mascot and the "G" Company mascot wouldn't look mean at each other. They ran in opposite directions and got the big, heavy football players tangled in their leashes. And everybody hung out his dormitory window to see what was going on. The long-suffering photographers took some pictures and the nice football players got

tired and went away. The editor and photographers were very happy. They had only two more pictures to take. Then all the dogs - big dogs, little dogs, friendly dogs, rabid dogs - disappeared. But the editor would not be discouraged. She said, "We will find some dogs." Then she said to the associate editor, "Find a dog." The nice associate editor looked sad and then he looked behind Price Memorial and then he looked under bushes and then he asked the night watchman. But the nice associate editor didn't find a dog, And then he looked up the road and then he looked down the road and then he went into someone's yard and pounced on a big, stupid, brown dog that weighed 50 pounds. Then the nice associate editor lugged the big, stupid, brown dog into the middle of P.

She looked behind Price Memorial and then she looked under the shrubs and then asked she the night watchman. But the editor didn't find a dog. Arid then the nice canteen owner told her that the President of the college had a nice fat friendly dog named Peppy. The kind President said that he would be glad to lend the fat, friendly dog and then he tied a ribbon on Peppy 1 s neck and the editor and Peppy hurried to the chow hall to have Peppy' s picture made. The nice dietician said she would be glad to carry Peppy out of the chow hall in a very realistic pose, for she carried dogs out all the time. So she picked up the fat, friendly dog and the nice dietician very carefully looked stern, and Peppy very carefully looked hungry, and everybody stopped eating to see what was going on, and the long-suffering photographer snapped his camera. Now the editor and photographers breathed long sighs of relief, for all the pic- tures were taken. But the editor and photographers breathed too soon. For then the pictures were develope'>ed.

Fifteen years of progress

First in a

series to be published

every three years Dear Alumnus: What do you remember about North Georgia?

Saturday afternoon football games and your ex- ultation when your company—the best company on campus—stole the lead and finished victorious.

Early autumn picnics when you hiked into the surrounding mountains and hovered over a warm fire to enjov the flavor of hotdogs mixed with the pun- gency of fresh wood smoke.

The first winter snow when vou dodged cold mis- siles flung in company snowball battles, attempted an icy slide down a bank, and perhaps made snow ice cream.

The crisp December evening when you caroled the jovs of Christmas before each dormitory.

The fresh spring night when you danced under the stars on the quadrangle.

Rain—autumn rain, winter rain, spring rain when vou slushed to class through a world of galoshes and colored umbrellas and thought how appropriate the women's Rec Club song, "Hail to thee, North Georgia, school of the rain.

After-class hours when you concentrated studv on the universal major—canteenology. Bridge, cokes, and gossip. Midnight hours when you pored bleary-eyed over pages of learning until the words flowed together in a meaningless sea of grey.

Midnight hours when vou gathered with friends for profound discussions on the opposite sex, the world situation, and whether anybody in the room had something good to eat.

6:00 A.M. reveille when you turned over in bed with an utter loathing for that racious bugle.

In this special edition the Bugler will relive with you these and other experiences at North Georgia Col- lege, as we retrace the school's last 15 years of pro- gress. During this period we will watch dreams be-

come realities, blueprints become landscapes. It is an exciting story, and you are a vital chapter. —The Editor

The new, modern Science Building was in its final stages of construction. It housed facilities for the Physics, Chemistry, and Biology departments, providing more space than was previously available, and the most modern laboratories and classrooms. As a point of interest, the Biology department of the Science Building is today under plans to extend the South wing of the third floor.

North Georgia College cadets were not the only ones ivho spruced up for inspection this spring. With clean-shaven faces mirrored in shining insignia, fresh-creased pants, and even a few spit-shined shoes, Cub Scout Pack 303 snapped to attention before the scrupulous eye of Col. W. C. Boyd, the col- lege P.M.S. The verdict: "Appearance good." The cubs were inspected at the Dahlonega packs' recent third anniversary banquet.

Happily, the verdict of the counterpart college federal Inspection was equally complimentary. See Short Shots, page 12.

"In those days," Mr. Meaders said, "we didn't major, we simply took what they had." His favorite subject was military.

"Many times I cut a meal to be on time at drill" and he brought one of the first major military honors to the school when he was judged in a statewide com- petition to be the cadet best drilled in the manual of arms. It is in his honor that the Meaders Award was established in 1960. There is an interesting story behind Mr. Meaders' winning of that first competition. "When North Georgia was invited to participate in a military competition in Macon, our officer, Major Pat Raffery, a strict West Pointer, decided we must win the individual manual of arms

ABOUT THE COVER By Melody Fohvell The Christmas season, with its joy of giving and receiving, is just around the corner. In previous years the Y.W.C.A. of North Georgia College and some of the cadets have made Christmas a time of joy for some of the families in Dahlonega. These groups provided the families with many wonderful gifts. This year the girls of Leivis Hall attempted to make Christmas a day ivorth- while for some of the needy families in the local area. The girls brought clothes, toys, and food for the children of approximately six families. The annual Lewis Hall Christmas party featured the presentation of these gifts under the Christmas tree. This Christmas should be a memorable NORTH GEORGIA one for the Leivis Hall girls, who received the wonderful joy which is at- PLAYS SANTA CLAUS tained through giving. —Cover illustration by Bill Branch — :

No. Mr. Towson and men as dedicated to their work as he was will always live in the minds and hearts of those who knew, loved, and respected them. —Sandi Pryor.

A military career is only one of many, but those Junior and Senior cadets who don't sign a contract are denied positions of leadership in the - corps unless there is a shortage of "con- tract cadets." Then a few "non-con- tract cadets" are given minor leader- ir ship positions. The question posed is this: Is the purpose of the military system at N.G.C. to train leaders for the army only, or is its purpose to train leaders for any profession?

THE CADET BUGLER PAGE SEVEN THE FOURRAGERE CAPTAIN TREPAQNIER LEAVES NGC AND AIGUILLETTE The fourragere — that metal-tipped, colored cord worn around the shoulder —is a decoration awarded by the Bel- gian and French governments to cer- tain American millitary units. The orgin of the fourragere is the subject of much conjecture and provides an interesting story.

The most popular belief is that long ago, a unit of Flemish soldiers under the Duke of Alva showed cowardice in bat- tle. After the battle, the Duke threaten-

ed his troops with mass hanging if they didn't prove themselves better in the future. His soldiers, insulted by the Duke's accusation of cowardice, began wearing around their shoulders a rope

with a large nail attached, as if to say, "I am no coward. If you ever find me running from the enemy you may hang me with my own rope and nail." In subsequent battles the unit fought so bravely that the "rope and nail" became At the close of this academic year, After the completion of this year, a symbol of bravery. Captain Jules C.

PAGE EIGHT THE CADET BUGLER

Old issues of our school's publications provide much of interest. Recently there has been some controversy on the hopelessness and pessimism of our generation. Below are poems from two different 1936 issues and a 1955 issue. After having read these, one could summon a contrast of the different generations. Perhaps someone would ex- plain why our generation appears hopeless in comparison. In the sake of interest, the fact that several NGC students have received national recognition cannot be over- looked. In the Winter Quarter of 1955, Carolyn Mebane received national recognition for her poem "Mother" when it appeared in the Annual Anthology of College Poetry. Winter of 1956 three more poems of NGC coeds received recognition from the National Poetry Association. These were "Birth and Death" by Carolyn Mebane, "The Molder of Lives" by Nona Allen, and "Nightfall" by Susan Lindsey. Look back—meet those who came before.

Something Lacking at NGC

There is definitely something lacking in the sports curricula at North Georgia this winter. What is it? It's inter-colleg- iate basketball. It's an integral part of a college that cannot be suddenly taken away without a few ill effects on the school and the student body. There are not many colleges with an enrollment of nearly nine hundred students that do not have inter-collegiate basketball teams. An inter-collegiate basketball team should add something to a school that there is no substitute for.

Bert Miller, a 5' 10" senior, from Atlanta, Georgia, captured the Brigade scoring crown by scoring a total of 109 points in six games, for an 18.2 points per game average. Miller's high game came against Echo, when he scored 30 points, and almost won the game for Delta when he rang a thirty foot jumper at the final buzzer, but the officials ruled that he was just a fraction too late in shooting. Bert also had 25, 19, and 17 point efforts. Following Miller in the race for the title were Clay Harris, with 98 points, Bob Hill with 66 points, and Frank Haralson with 55 points. Harris' high game came against Band, when he scored 20 points, and Hill's high of 24 came in perhaps the most crucial game of the season against Bravo.

BERT MILLER appears to be sleep-walking, or jumping, as the case may be, and "Big" John Turner, 34, seems intent on either stopping him, or hitching a ride in Bert recent All-Star action.

ABOUT THE COVER As Graduation Day approaches, the tension mounts. Seniors are showered and reshowered. The Dixie is filled to overflowing every night as grades and assignments are forgotten; unrest prevails. "Sweet Pea," the campus mascot, is commissioned in mock ceremonies all over the campus. The Change of Command takes place and Juniors and Sophomores begin to sense what it's really like being leaders. Next years advantages —a student council, a newspaper, a public relations office—are announced and graduating Seniors groan and ask, "Why couldn't this happen to us?" Next year's policies—no exam exemptions, etc.—are announced and the remainder of the students groan and ask, 'Why must this happen to us?" Caps and gowns are fitted, an- nuals received, practices faithfully attended—and then the weekend arrives. The Military Ball, so long planned, arrives—the North Georgia girls never looked so pretty, the boys so handsome. The Ball over, off to breakfast go the Seniors then afterward to bed for a feiv hours of restless sleep. Sunday morning, the Senior boys eat their last meal in the chow hall, march in their final parade and then enter the gym, Me- morial Hall, for the last time. The Graduation exercises, the good-byes, the tears . . . The Seniors, though gone, will remain in the hearts of those who love them ; and those who remain will travel the world locked safely in the hearts of the graduated Seniors. The picture on the cover is the presentation of the Honor Company trophy and ribbon during the Grad- uation Day Parade. —

Frank And Sara Christian, Racing Enthusiasts

One warm summer night in 1953 at Lakewood Race track in Atlanta a stock car driver watched the car in front of him go into a curve too fast. Suddenly its back end swung out and around and he saw Oldsmobile number 71 going through the turn sideways, dead ahead of him. The crash was unavoidable—the results almost disastrous. Seventy-one bounded into the air, came down and rolled seven times. On each roll the driver's head was dashed against Lakewood's packed clay surface.
