You Returned? to ask some upperclassmen this about your decision to return to Janet Whisnant: “It’s too late to do anything else. Besides, I haven’t even thought about going to another college because I en joy being here and being a part of the progress that G-W is mak ing. However, I realize that being a student here while the college is moving toward accreditation is hard on me; but I am glad I am here because it gives me and the rest of the students an opportunity to grow — mature with the college.” Fagg Nowlan: “I feel that my decision is justified, that G-W is doing all it can to prepare me with a 4-year education. I was planning on transferring, but the smallness of the school and the atmosphere made me decide to stay here and obtain what I consider as a well-rounded education.” n better Jack McGill: “I am glad that I made the decision to return to G. W. My main reason for returning was because of the faculty and the students.” Linda Voncannon: “If G. W. hadn’t gone four years, it would be impossible for me to finish my education. I believe in the school and what it is becoming. However, at first I had my doubts of G. W. being four years, because I thought that the college would lose in quality and gain in quantity. But with the progress that has been made, I feel that nothing has been lost; everything has been gained. Also, I feel that the best for the college is at the heart of Dr. Poston and his staff.” ;o G. W. mainly Esther Hudgins: “I am glad that I made the decision to return to G. W. I am satisfied with the education that I am receiving at the college. Although I am a little bit apprehensive as to the progress G. W. must make, I feel that things will work out.” E. & M.
