President North Georgia Students: Mid-term reports, that sounds strangely familiar, have just been sent out. This and the additional fact that The Cyclops is now soon to appear remind us that another college year is about to close. This has been a good and happy year, has it not? Glee Club. Orchestra, Y. M. and Y. W. Emphasis Week; yes, military. Phys. Ed. and chapels, too. Who after all would miss any of these! Attendance at your Alma Mater has been gratifying. During the Fall quarter. N. G. C. enrolled 36% of all the civilian students who registered in the six junior colleges of the University System. Our total Fall quarter enrollment, both military and civilian, constituted 25% of the total enroll- ment in all the state ' s eighteen junior colleges, both public and private. Yes. in all these and in many other respects, this has been a good year. But never for a moment can we forget the boys and girls in service ! Those who have given all. those who have been wounded, and those who fight on with determined will in all parts of the world. With them now are our thoughts and our prayers; our prayers that their struggle may soon be crowned with victory and that they may return to home and friends. And. we trust also that for ourselves who remain at home, we may not betrav the cause through our own indifference or sloth. Cordially, J. C. Rogers. President. February 15, 1944.
