Memories are the thoughts of yesterday. They represent the actions of time passed when we were younger and a little more foolish than wise. Memories symbolize the things we were going to do and the things we did. They are passed days of bliss and fantasy when frolic was our candy and work our poison. They are the faded dreams, the lost wishes, and the mis- placed intentions. From all the sad, the happy, the warm we grow to realize that every day is a page that soon becomes a book of memories. The 1957 CHIEFTAIN is a book of memories, our memories of WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE. con tents PERSONNEL 8 * ; SPORTS 80 ORGANIZATIONS 46 FEATURES OUR FRIENDS g 8 WE, THE STUDENTS 70 MBS.

The Sophomores Remember . . . . The heart warming tug of returning to school after a summer of new thrills, to find that West Georgia College had not changed as much as they had changed. They laughed to themselves as they remem- bered that it was only a year ago that they arrived as freshmen. How things had changed since then! ! Now, they were looking forward to an event- ful year filled with hard studying, new oppor- tunities and all the little things that make col- lege life so wonderful. GARY AKINS. Dalton, Ga.

We eat in the morning, we eat at noon, and we eat in the evening . . . And then we spend all our money on what we eat at night. . . . and we remember how we traveled the worn path to the Coke machine and fed it our nickels as we fed ourselves . . . We remember those exams and those shocking grades but not as shocking as our parents' reactions . . . We have lived, laughed, and learned as we have spent our days at West Georgia Col- lege. We have had our doubts and fulfillments; discouragements and satisfactions. We have had more problems and less sleep than we have had money and spare time, but we have loved every minute of it. We must leave behind us the familiar gray walks, the ivy windows, the rolling hills, and all the little things that have made West Georgia so close to our hearts. We leave, but we take our memories with us. They are ours to cherish and to be with us always.
