North Georgia College, Cyclops J4599 THE STUDENTS OF COLLEGE AT MONUMENTS TO THE PROGRESS OF A GREAT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION This 1943 CYCLOPS will take its place beside the annuals of the past years of North Georgia College. It is another pictorial monument — one to a great college that has hopes for a future of progress as bright as has been its growth in the past. The leaf of wheat that is seen on the cover of the 1943 CYCLOPS is merely a remembrance token of a school that was once known as North Georgia Agricultural College, of students, limited funds, and various other handicaps, wer stac| ,J i wth of the college. The real spark that started the recent extenj lon aMJJ Miiig of the col- lege came in April, 1933, when North Georgia CoP ge jA feorgSniJ d ' oy the Board of Regents as a liberal arts junior college. The yij ajMPreatuia g of the college were con- tinued and thus it enjoyed the distinction-of mg the only State junior college oper- ating on a military basis. Today, in inaf ' tJraj»iTls of North Georgia, glorified in song and story, we find a junior collaR wmch has a state-wide reputation which speaks for itself. It is one of the eigh se; ally military colleges in the nation, thus designated by the United Stateji ovyr™gSl - ' ' ' ' Robert Lee Bullard, formerly Commandant of Cadets and Bro so pf Mi litary Science and Tactics, referred to the college as one of the two niOMfmiliiiy TTTiriiil in the country. But in the midst of this military system, the co-eds of the school help to form a well-rounded social life for the cadets. The in- tramural sports program of both the cadets and co-eds deserves recognition. The scho- lastic standards of the school are well known throughout the state. In an attempt to depict the greatness of North Georgia College and to re-create for you the incidents and associations which have made this school year a happy one, this CYCLOPS of 1943 is presented to you.

{l Ul lx Uffl. v MAJOR RICHARD S. McCONNELL Major Richard S. McConnell, who was connected with North Georgia College for fifteen years, was relieved during the Summer Quarter of his duties at this institution and transferred to another post. An example of the liv- ing spirit that N. G. C. tries to embed into the character of each of its outgoing men is well reflected in the life and character of Major McConnell. The sophomores and Summer Quarter freshmen know well the influence that he had on the cadets and co-eds as he energetically and unselfishly entered into the general life of the college and the community. To the co-eds, Major McConnell exemplified all the qualities of a gentleman; to the cadets he was in their own words a regular fellow. To Major McConnell, we dedicate the Cyclops of 1943.
