1944 flu 9f t The Navy comes to CC! Replacing traditional cords and black sweaters of pre-war days, are Navy Blue and Marine Green uniforms. The V- 1 2 Unit Trainees drill, march to meals and set up Lennox House as their relaxation headquarters. But C. C. still maintains a normal program. Trainees and civil- ians attend classes together, mingle on campus, give dances, and root for the Tigers. War Work steps in and as- sumes a major portion of coed extra- curricular. It ' s still college, but it ' s serious now too. So, brief as the I 944 NUGGET is, we of the staff hope it will help refresh your memory of the - ' ' year you spent at C. C. [2
