• THE • GOLD STAR SECTION We have tried to obtain a picture of every former student of North Georgia College who lost his, or her, life in World War II. Through the capable assistance of Mrs. Will D. Young, Alumni Secretary, our en- deavors have been largely successful and the pictures of those veterans which we were able to obtain are presented in the following pages. This is our way of saying Thank you to those boys and girls who asked for no thanks when they went into the service of their country, facing the realization that there was a possibility of losing their lives. However, it was impossible to contact the parents of every Gold Star Student. For that reason, our group of photographs is not complete. Listed below are the Gold Star Veterans whose pictures could not be ob- tained. This list is by no means complete.
