THE MAKING OF AN OFFICER The civilians, or High School Harry ' s as cadets call them, come to North Georgia wide-eyed and anx- ious. During the next jour years these boys will become gentle- men, knowledgeable persons and fighting strategist — total these three items up and you have the modern ROTC officer. These civilians have four hard, grueling years ahead with only occa- sional breaks for fun and relaxation. THE BEGINNING AND THE END The picture to the right shows North Georgia ' s finished pro- duct. A young man anxious to receive his gold bar and eager to meet the world head- on. But this isn ' t the end of the man, only the cadet; this finished product will move on- ward to face world problems, to be a world leader, and to prove he is one of America ' s best.

THE FRESHMEN ' What do you mean you didn ' t have enough time? No, I ' m not energetic; I ' m too lazy to make two trips. Where do nine out of every ten freshmen spend Saturday afternoon? I wasn ' t asleep, sir. I was just memorizing with my eyes closed. The first fun we ' ve had all year and it will cost 15 and a week per snowball. The freshmen go through drastic changes their first year. Loafing civil- ians become hustling cadets; loud- mouths find their place in this ordered society; sporadic people become time- budgeters. The new system takes a great deal of getting-used-to and the first year is consumed mostly doing that. Rules and regulations control everything but breathing. These frogs spend most of their time in hard work, study, and polishing. This is the price a cadet must pay.
