DEDICATION'.
The Kernel Staff on behalf
of the Student Body wishes
to dedicate this issue of the
KERNEL to Mr. Sidney Mil
ler, Miss Inez Brown and
Miss Henrietta Thomae, who
will retire at the close of this
term.
The Staff feels that it is
impossible to do justice to
these three faculty members
in a news article; therefore,
we have chosen to dedicate
this issue to the three who
have given many years of
service to Middle Georgia
College and have helped
formulate many of the
things that make MGC what
it is today.
We, speaking for the Stu
dent Body, will not say
“Goodbye” but rather “Good
luck. Visit us often.”
