SCA Slates Varied
Schedule; Darij
Response Large

Have you paid your pledge to
Darij? Do you have a date for the
hayride? All of these things are
indications of the Student Chris¬
tian Association at work.

On November 6 a chapel pro¬
gram was presented by the World-
Relatedness Committee of the
SCA in order to introduce Darij,
the little boy whom the SCA has
adopted through the Foster Par¬
ent's Plan. Everyone was given
an opportunity to make a pledge
to help support Darij. The money
will be used for his Christmas
present, as well as for his phy¬
sical needs. Approximately S280
was pledged by the student body
and the faculty. The SCA hopes
that all pledges will be paid by
December 12.

A hayride to Pine Mountain on
Saturday night, November 22 will
be for all students and their
dates. Hay and hot dogs will be|
provided for everyone.

The Social Service Committee
is sponsoring the annual Thanks¬
giving project of collecting food
for those who are not as fortunate
as we. Boxes have been placed in
each dormitory, and students are
requested to fill them with canned
goods. The boxes will then be
distributed to four needy families
here in LaGrange.

The following vesper programs
have been announced by the Wor-;
ship Committee.

November 20 — Interpretation
of Religious Music.

November 25 — Thanksgiving
Service.

December 2 — Dramatic Read¬
ing.

December 4 — Filmstrip
(“Members One of Another”).

Five LaGrange College students
have been named to the member¬
ship of WHO'S WHO AMONG
STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNI¬
VERSITIES AND COLLEGES.
Those selected were Barbara
Carter, Mary Floyd, Jo Anne
Haymore, Mary Wright Horton,
and Louise Kesler.

Selection to WHO’S WHO is one
of the highest honors available to
a college student. The annual rec¬
ognition is determined by a quota
assigned to each participating
institution based on enrollment.
Nominations are made by the
faculty on the basis of scholar¬
ship, academic and extra-curricu¬
lar participation, service to the
school, and promise of future
usefulness.

Besides being consistantly rated
on the Dean’s list each semester,
the individuals chosen for this
year's WHO’S WHO have dis¬
tinguished themselves in other
realms.

Barbara Carter of Tifton is
president of the Student Christian
Association and has served two
years as co-chairman of the Wor¬
ship Committee. She is treasurer
of the Christadelphians, active in
the Methodist Student Fellowship
and has received an honorable
mention for the Honors Club.

Jo Anne Haymore has been a
publications co-chairman for the
S.C.A., a cheerleader, and a
member of the Glee Club. She
has served as Junior vice-presi¬
dent, president of the Kappa Phi
Delta Sorority, and Sweetheart
of Gamma Phi Alpha Fraternity.
Jo Anne also was given honorable
mention for the Honors Club.

Mary Floyd is a senior repre¬
sentative to the Student Council
from Montgomery, Ala. She has
served as co-chairman of the
World Relatedness and Publica¬
tions Committees of the S.C.A.
and is an honorary member this
year. She has been the Inter-
Sorority Council Representative
for Alpha Kappa Theta, president
of last year's Junior Class and

Luanne Hays has been elected
state vice-president of the Geor¬
gia Methodist Student Movement.
Seventeen LaGrange s tu d e n t s

First Presbyterian Church, at the
November 24 campus meeting.

Miss Pat Bennett, Columbus
District rural worker, and Dr.
Waights G. Henry, Jr., spoke to

Student Body Tabs
New Cheerleaders
For 1958-59 Slate

Three new cheerleaders and an
alternate will join three returning
cheerleaders in leading cheers
for the LaGrange College Panth¬
ers during the coming basketball
season.

The girls, chosen by a secret
ballot vote of the students present
at the recent try-outs, are Betsy
Moore from Columbus; Ann Mon¬
roe, who was a cheerleader in
liigh school, from Cartersville;
Marianne Hughes, the alter¬
nate, from Camilla, and Susan
Williams, a sophomore, from
Claxton.

The newly elected cheerleaders
took the places vacated by Lynn
Harp, Mary Faye Horton, and
Hersey Dominy, all of whom did
not return to the group this year.

The two sophomore cheerlead¬
ers who have returned this year
are Andrea Cheek from Lavonia
and Libby Carlock, the co-captain,
from Comer. Both Libby and
Andrea were cheerleaders in high
school.

Rochelle Clifton, a junior from
Newtonville, Mass., is captain of
the group.

“The cheerleaders are looking
forward to a busy year traveling
and supporting the team,” says
Rochelle.

HILL-TOP NEWS

LAGRANGE COLLEGE

Birth of the News

Well, as Topsy would say, “Here we is!” And, though the
grammatical structure of this sentence could come into con¬
siderable abuse, we know of no better way to introduce the
Hill-Top News to the campus. Perhaps a more formal way
would be appropriate, but we want this to be an informal paper
— full of news, views and highlights of LaGrange College. In
a sense it is really your newspaper, because without your advice
and moral support we would not be in existence today.

The history of the News is necessarily a brief one. It began
at the first of school when a group got together and decided the
Hill needed a newspaper. The ball started rolling when the
Student Council heard of the idea and agreed to back it 100
per cent. The president’s office was the next step, and an im¬
portant one, but he, too, agreed that a newspaper was needed
and told us that one more approval was necessary before we
could really begin — the advisory council. Two of us met with
the different department heads and presented what we hoped
was a sound argument for a newspaper. The one short hour
between the time of the actual decision and the time we were
informed were suspense-filled moments. But the waiting paid
off, and we actually began work on "your" paper.

Unfortunately we still lacked one vital object money. But
we were sure that some way the money could be found. Here
we want to say a grateful "thank you" to the S.C.A., the
W.A.A., and the Student Government for their financial support.
But we knew that even with this money we had to have addi¬
tional funds to cover operational costs of the paper. The only
logical answer was advertisements. When we started selling ads
we were not prepared for the tremendous response we received.
Our advertisers have shown that they are interested in this
school and its students, and for this we are very thankful.

So this is our first issue. We have made mistakes, but we
are young, and will benefit from each issue and each issue's
problems. All we ask of you now is your interest and continued
support. In this area we urged you to patronize our advertisers,
and tell them you saw their ad in the News. We hope this paper
will become a part of the college, and that each succeeding
student generation will remember the LaGrange Hill-Top News
as a large part of their college life. (L. H.)

Pain and Progress

Anyone presently connected with LaGrange College will
agree that pain and progress sometimes walk hand in hand.
The case in point here is the new schedule of classes.

The pain is very apparent. Students have slept -unexcused—
through classes. Professors have failed to meet classes. The
administration has received a multitude of complaints and suf¬
fered numerous headaches. Schedules have been changed,
tears have been shed, and frustration over class conflicts has
been rampant. Confusion has reigned supreme because of the
rotating schedule of one hour classes.

However, all this suffering has not been in vain. Hie new
schedule is, in fact, one of the less apparent aspects of the
progress that L. C. is making. Closer examination reveals that
the new schedule is not only logical but it is efficient. Confusion
at the outset was the natural result of changing from one system
to another. But as the confusion subsides under the balm of time
and experience, it becomes more apparent that the new system
is progressive. Change is not synonymous with progress, but the
new schedule is a change that cannot but be advantageous for
all concerned.

Those interest-dulling four day gaps between classes are
gone. The new schedule, rotating in an orderly fashion, allows
students and professors to meet classes with a minimum time
lapse. Gone also are the spine-breaking hour-and-a-half classes.
It was a wise person who said, "Mind cannot absorb more
than seat can endure.”

Class time is now standardized under the new schedule.
This should prove a boon to both the faculty and student body.
The professors can organize their lectures on a one hour basis
for each semester. Testing time will now be the same for each
class or section of a class.

Although it was not designed for this specific purpose, the
new schedule should facilitate the expected change to the
quarter system.

While it is less spectacular and less apparent, administra¬
tive and academic progress is fully as important as the physical
progress which our school is making. Physical progress alone
is futile. In order to fulfill the highest potential of the school, all
phases must keep abreast with the times.

Many of us who are vitally concerned will have departed
before the full advantages of the new schedule are realized.
Even so, we are proud to be a part of the growth of L. C. We
commit ourselves to the new schedule in the name of progress.
We also say thank you to the administration for keeping pace
with the progress of our physical plant. (J. H.)

New Campus Buildings
Ready In Late Spring

With the William H. Turner
Hall already completed and oc¬
cupied, the building program at
LaGrange College is proceeding
rapidly. Presently two other
buildings, the new gymnasium 1
and the Louise Anderson Manget
Classroom Building, are under
construction. The spacious new
parking lot, also recently com¬
pleted, has alleviated campus
parking problems.

The new gym, constructed and
equipped at an approximate cost
of $325,000, will be a modem,
fully equipped building. In addi¬
tion to the gym floor, with a seat¬
ing capacity of 809, the building
will contain the complete Physical
Education Department, the Main¬
tenance Department, and a
kitchen.

An outstanding feature of the
Physical Education Department
will be a large room designed for
indoor physical activities. The
room will have a tile floor with
two inlaid shuffleboard courts.
Equipped with folding chairs and
tables, the room will also double
as a banquet room and a place
for small dances. The department
will also include a room equipped
with regular classroom facilities.

For use in the Physical Educa¬
tion Department and the normal
gym activities there will be fully
equipped locker rooms for both
men and women. Also, there will
be a dressing room and showers
for visiting men’s basketball
teams.

Sleeping accomodations for
visiting teams which must stay
overnight will no longer be
problem for there will be a bunk
room equipped with double decker
steel beds.

The main floor will contain one
of the most modern basketball
plants, according to College Busi¬
ness Manager Austin Cook. The

court will be equipped with glass,
rectangular backboards for regu¬
lar play. There will also be four
retractable backboards for prac¬
tice sessions. A scoreboard clock
which indicates minutes and sec¬
onds left to play and a public
address system, which is being
incorporated into the construction
of the building, should add to
spectator interest.

Newsmen and officials will find
comfortable and efficient quart¬
ers. Besides a booth for reporters
and game officials, there will be
a broadcasting booth with radio
facilities.

Refreshments for fans will be
supplied from a concession booth
in the lobby. The trophy case will
tell the story of the accomplish¬
ments of the Panthers. There will
also be a first-aid room in the
event an emergency should arise.

The new gym is expected to be
completed in time for LaGrange
College to be host to the Georgia
Intercollegiate Athletic Confer¬
ence Tournament, February 26-28.

Sprayberry Is
Elected Georgia
WJLA. Secretary

Mavis Sprayberry was elected
recording secretary erf the Geor¬
gia Athletic Federation for Col¬
lege Women at the state confer¬
ence held at Mercer November
7-9.

The conference was also attend¬
ed by Betty Jo Croom, president
of the W.A.A., and Mrs. Joe Cope¬
land. This is the first year that
LaGrange College has participat¬
ed in the state conference.

Delegates to the conference
observed athletic demonstrations,
participated in group sports, and
heard reports on such things as
qualifications for physical edu¬
cation teachers.

The LaGrange College delegates
returned, confident that the in¬
formation they obtained would be
of immediate benefit to the
women's athletic program,
equipped with a projection booth
for showing films, film strips, and
slides. The screen will be built
into the ceiling and may be raised I
or lowered. The room will also
contain a record player, a tape
recorder, and other audio equip-1
ment.

This building will have outside
entrances to both the first and
second floors and will be connect¬
ed with the parking lot by a
paved walk. The present drive
which passes in front of the!
building will be altered to elim-|
inate the sharp curve at the top
of the Vernon Street entrance. I

The Manget Building is due for]
completion before classes begin!
next summer.
