OFFICERS' CLUB By Hinton Paul Since its founding at the beginning of North Georgia College, the Officers" Club has done much to add to the so- cial life of the campus. This year it will do even more. Beginning with the "Old South Ball," in honor of the Battalion Sweetheart, Miss Peggy King. and continuing through until the grand finale at the Military Ball, the Officers' Club will present movies, suppers, and other social events that will enliven the campus. A change in policy prevents the Com- manding Officer of the Battalion from being President of the club. This left the position open to be filled by an election by the Officers. Robert Gudger was chosen, and under his ca])able leadership the Officers' Club will con- tinue to carry out the traditions of N.G.C. in an efficient manner.

Was Vir- ginia in North America so "hot" for the fifty per-cent who died or the Negro slaves — the American Indian? Can such a spot ever be found? There are places all over the entire globe which could very easily become the

best place to live, but it is hardly prob- able that these locations will ever be recognized as such. These may and will be believed to be the best place to live by some, but not by the whole world.

Why is this true? Contentment and peace are found in the heart. They are the ])arents of happiness and must be attained by each individual. Individuals have different methods of recognizing and acquiring happiness. Some were born to wander; to some the native sur- roundings are best. We are all different.

VARSITY HIGH LIGHTS OF 1954-1955

By Ken Butlenvorth

The North Georgia quintet is enjoy- ing one of its most successful seasons in recent years. With about three- fourths of the schedule behind them, [heir record shows seven wins against a like number of defeats. This record has been compiled against some of the better small college teams in this area.

The team as a whole is averaging 72.2 points per game, as against the opponents' 71.5 per game. They have gone over the 80-point mark in four games, the highest total being 97 in a game with Oglethorpe.

Pitt Scheff is leading the scoring parade with a 17.8 average, followed COACH MATHERLY'S 1954-'55 VARSITY CAGERS closely by "Goose" Camp with a 17.2 average. Scheff has developed into an 2-1 records.

Rifle Team Clicks As

Major Sport At N G C

Another outstanding custom of North

Georgia College is the consideration of rifle teams as a major sport group. No

other essentially military college re- gards them as such.

The varsity rifle team is selected

from the intramural teams. There is a

highly competitive spirit among its members because only the highest

scorers can go on the team trips. Any- one who gets on the team does so by his own initiative. The lack of interest

is the fault of the student body and not of the team.

This year the rifle team will compete in six shoulder-to-shoulder matches as THE VARSITY RIFLE TEAM, COACHED BY MAJOR RALPH DAVIS a guest of or a host to other schools.

army in September 1943 ; he remained on this campus for almost three years. During World War II, Sergeant Bass was in China. Burma, and India, and served in Korea during that conflict. North Georgia College was the first assignment in this state for Sergeant Bass; although he is originally from Tallahassee, Florida.

The Band has numbered from as many as fifty members to as few as twelve. The uniforms have varied perhaps even more than have the uniforms of the corps of cadets; for a number of years the Band wore World War I style helmets with different types of belts and accessories to match. The instrumentation has. however, re- mained the same, notably a shortage of woodwinds and enough brass for a division. Since most woodwinds are played by girls in high school bands and no girls can be allowed to play THE BAND PRACTICES FOR A CONCERT in a military band, the Band has had college and elsewhere in the North no other choice than to let the musical Georgia area have been well received, Concert Season Successful talents of the coeds go to waste.

PREVIEW OF SPRING

By Lunelle Edwards

We begin to think that spring will never come to North Georgia campus. First we have a cold spell which lasts

until Easter, then it rains, rains, and rains some more.

One day much to our surprise, it slops raining. While in class, we glance out the window and notice the sun is actually shining. As we smell the aroma of wild onions we know that spring is finally here.

It seems that the campus turns green overnight. Tiny yellow and violet flowers spring up in the grass. In spite of the cold spell, some of the dog- wood trees blossom.

With the coming of spring, there is THE SWINGING BRIDGE AND "SWIMMING HOLE" AT PINE VALLEY new life and activity on the campus.

Seven patrols of approximately ten men each were dispatched from friendly po- sitions in such a manner that they had to cross both open and wooded terrain in order to reach their objectives.

Fall quarter opened with one hun- dred and seventy-five coeds in Lewis Hall. Just think—twenty-five more than last year! The building certainly looks nice now that curtains are hanging in all the front room windows.

On Sepember 23, a faculty-student reception was held in the recreational rooms. This gave all new students an opportunity to meet their teachers for the coming year.

For the annual "Gold Rush Day" pa- rade, the coeds decorated the float en- tered by the Smith House. On the float depicting soap-making during the gold rush days were Cerda Smith, Sandra Newberry, Carolan Salley, Betsy Cook, and Sue Anderson.

PAGE FOURTEEN THE CADET BUGLER CATALINA VOYAGE By Nona Allen "Here, don't forget your sunhat," called Bill as he stepped from the dock onto the boat, "you'll need it when the sun gets hot." "Forget it! Why, I know I hid that hat where nobody could find it," I thought as we began to glide through the cool rippling water. As soon as the "Catalina" sailed past the drawbridge, which served as the entrance to the bay, the deckhand began to prepare the lines for casting. This procedure proved most interesting to me. The deckhand first extracted from a large trunk a length of wire, corres- ponding to the thickness of a pencil some four or five feet long. This he at- tached to the rayon cord which made up the major portion of the line. Along this line at various distances were clamped pieces of lead which served as guides to prevent the fish from running into the cord. Next in the process was the tying on of the hook.

One night not so long ago, a lot of noise could be heard coming from the gym. It was a mixture of hollering and laughter. Out of curiosity, I stopped to see what was happening.

I walked in and saw a spectacle be- fore my eyes. There were a lot of men, some with their tongues hanging out and others with an obvious middle-age spread, chasing a round ball around the floor.

I sat down and tried to find out what was happening. Someone told Lewis Ferguson demonstrates the marching manual to the new members of the Drill me that this was the faculty of N.G.C. Platoon.

A Day In The Life Of A Cadet

Every graduate of jNorth Georgia will remember the wonderful times he si)ent on the campus during his enroll- ment at the college. This special alum- ni edition would like to bring back those memories to you.

Remember the strict courses requir- ed the first year——and when the new canteen was built '"that was simply the most." What day would be com- ])lete without preparing for a dust in- spection? And those grueling drawing labs even add to a perfect day. To to|) everything—an afternoon show date—but then it's 1700 hours sharp and that means time for retreat.

Of the fifteen selected, thirteen have decided to accept the ap- pointment. The Department of the Army had 500 appointments to fill from 3000 ap- plications. Twenty N.G.C. Cadets ap- plied for Regular Army. The high number of N.G.C. Cadets selected (75%) in relation to the number of vacancies (17%) speaks well of the cadets' training. The cadets who have accepted their appointments and their respective branch assignments are as follows: "Peaches" Pearson, Company Ist Lt, reviews the charter recently acquired by I Adams, Donald S.—Infantry.

YMCA And YWCA Sponsor Religious Emphasis Weeii

The week of February 13-17 was designated as Religious Emphasis week this quarter with Dr. DeWitt Mat- thews, pastor of the Vineville Baptist Church of Macon, speaking.

Again this year as in past years, this week was one of the highlights of the school year, and the YMCA and YWCA Councils are to be congratulated on their selection of the speaker and the program brought to us.

Services began with Assembly on Tuesday with services nightly on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and during Assembly on Thursday. The final service was a sunrise service on the drill field at 6:30 A. M. on

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler SCHOLARSHIP FUND By TOMMY CROW Future freshmen of North Georgia College who are in doubt about enter- ing college because of financial diffi- culties may now apply for a scholar- ship fund set up by N.G.C. Alumni. In 1954, interest in the fund was stirred and inquiries were sent out to determine the reaction of the alumni. The response was so good that in 1955 the fund was set up under the super- vision of the Student Aid Committee. The fund is set up to give five schol- arships annually to needy students three men scholarships and two wom- en. Each scholarship is worth $165.00,

and the student may use it to pay any of his expenses he wishes. The amount of the fund was based on the fees that a student would normally have to pay the school. In order to be eligible, a prospec-

North Georgia won the first one but just couldn't repeat against the Bears in the second match. The team has fired eight postal matches as of this writing and won two. The re- sults of the other matches have not all been returned. The rifle team journeyed to Auburn February 10th and Auburn returned the match on the 18th. They nexi went to the University of Georgia and re- turned the match of February 17th. This year the squad is composed of eleven men with J. F. Walker as cap- tain.

As the weather becomes warmer, the days longer, a person starts look- ing forward to spring with anticipa- tion. One of the main things that sports fans will be thinking of is the coming baseball season. Let's take a look at our baseball team.

We will have Richard Coleman back for his fourth year behind the bat to handle the catching chores. In the in- field, the entire group will be back with the exception of Robert Gudger, who handled the second base chores.

A heavy toll has been taken on our outfield since last year. We only have three back this year. They are Hamp Alexander, Eli Plunkett, and Charles Nichols.

Susan is a sopho- more here at N.G.C. but she plans to transfer in the fall of 1956 to take more extensive work in her double ma- jor; journalism and English. Susan has been writing ever since she could hold a pencil and has had many of her works published in the Bugler. She has been on the Dean's List every quarter. Her poems are not just rhyming lines; they paint a vivid picture and show a richness and fullness of insight which is seldom found in many poets who rely on the mere rhyming of lines.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Alumni Editor,

I am glad to know that you are again making the winter quarter issue of the Cadet Bugler one of special in- terest for the alumni. The coverage that you gave last year was excellent, I thought, and I am sure that the one this year will be even better. In behalf of the Alumni Association and, of course, in my own behalf as an inter- ested alumna, I want to thank you and the others of the staff for the attention that you are giving to the N.G.C. 'ers of former years. The alumni issue of the Bugler last year brought me news of friends whom I had not heard from in years and gave an impetus to our Alumni Association work that we could not have gotten in any other way.

I am teaching English here at Truett- McConnell. The English literature classes of this year have been greatly The Bugler takes great pleasure in dedicating this issue to Miss Mattie Craig, who enriched for me—and I hope for my is retiring this year students—as a result of my tour of 12 European countries during the past

ScdLJ & BUe Piel lei By Charles F. Moore One fine morning as the cadets stumbled sleepy-eyed out of their sacks, they were shocked into awakeness by the tramp of marching feet and the bark of drill commands. From the window a group of cadets was seen at this un- earthly hour, dressed out in parade whites, marching around the road. Sud- denly the realization came; the group was the pledges of the Scabbard & Blade beginning their initiation. This early morning performance was observed for several days. During the day the white-helmeted cadets could be J U IJ^ A^^ seen marching to class, squaring all corners, and halting in two counts.

From The Dut Past: By Tommie Crow One of the most practical extracurri- cular activities of NGC is a night-time outdoor exploration program which is frequently offered by the IVIilitan- De- partment. All that a cadet needs to do in order to go along on one of these popular expeditions is to check out an

M-1 rifle, put a firing pin in it, and walk casually by the military building some night when an expedition is being held. One of the most popular types of patrol is one in which everyone is split up into two groups. If there are some extra fellows around which neither Cadet Billy Geer is shown receiving the first place marksman medal awarded group will have, then they are put into to the member of the Varsity Rifle Team who fires the highest score during the a little group called "umpires." season.

RIFLE TEAM The North Georgia College Rifle Team finished in the top twenty-five per cent of R.O.T.C. units in the Third Army area. The team finished the sea- son by defeating Mercer University and then losing to Auburn and the University of Georgia. These were all shoulder-to-shoulder matches. Clarence Bailey and Bill Geer tied for high per- centage honors in the shoulder-to- shoulder matches by firing 187 out of 200.

It is more realistic if the weapons are pointed at something; however, it's not absolutely necessary. When this shooting starts, the fellows called umpires start figuring out who's winning. When they decide, everybody stops shooting and goes back to put their M-1 pieces in the storeroom. It is said that the cadets can hardly wait from one patrol to the next due to their driving desire to roam under the stars and out in the great outdoors. Such voluntary devotion is truly a great thing. HDME EC CLUB ELECTS NEW OFFICERS Officers for the year 1956-'57 were elected at the meeting of the Home Economics Club on April 9.

THE CADET BUGLER page: nine N.GX. TO GET NEW GYMNASIUM Plans have been approved for the construction of what will be the big- gest and most widely used building on our campus. The new Armory-Drill Hall-Gymnasium will incorporate all recreational activities, including physi- cal education classes; all military activi- ties, including the offices of the P.M.S.- & T. and Commandant, and all military classes; the armory; and will provide a place for drilling the entire battalion during inclimate weather. Perhaps the greatest source of enjoy- ment by the student body will come from the inclusion of an indoor heated swimming pool.

From the Coach's box Baseball In Review o rtl^S When the baseball season opened this I year, the question in everyone's mind was, "How was the pitching going to be .^-u. 0^, ^^i this year?" No one seemed concerned over the rest of the team which was practically the same squad that had such a fine record last year and which placed second in the Georgia Intercol- legiate League, one game behind Geor- gia Teachers' College.

After a few games, it seems that the pitching wasn't the main worry of Coach Matherly after all. Dewayne Pat- rick and Hamp Alexander were pitching exceptionally well considering the fact that they hadn't pitched since high school.

or at her neck as a sign that she is claimed, and woe be it to another cadet who ignores the sacred talisman. There is much tribal ceremony noticed among the cadets. They are fond of blowing horns and beating drums. They perform a sort of stiff legged dance in which a leader chants in a strange fashion while the rest dance along in unison to the beat. A strange phenomenon may be ob- served about sundown each day.

Because of the ever increasing number of N.G.C. graduates, it has unfortunate- ly become impossible to send copies of the Bugler to all the alumni every quarter. Once a year, usually the winter quarter, we will feature a Special Alumni Issue and send copies to all N.G.C. graduates. If, however, you would like to receive the fall and spring issues as well, we

will be glad to mail them to you if you will fill out the following form and return it to the Alumni Editor, Box 5241. North Georgia College.

As retiring Alumni Editor. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all

of you who have sent in letters and jjictures. I hope you will continue to show such wonderful cooperation in the future and thus enable next year's Alumni Editor, Miss Carolyn Mebane. to create a bigger and better alumni column.
