Instructor of Secretarial Science A.B., LaGrange College LaGrange College La Grange College The second oldest college for women in America, LaGrange College, founded in 1831, has the longest continuous history of any college for women in Georgia. It is named for the city of its location, which bears the name of the estate of the Marquis de La- fayette in France. Lafayette visited the Georgia community in 1825, at which time the citizens named their community in his honor. LaGrange College stands upon a hilltop in the residential sec- tion of a city of 28,000 persons. The city is known for its pros- perous textile industries, stately ante-bellum homes, active service and cultural organizations, influential churches, beautiful parks, modern public school system, and quality citizenry. The college is located in an ideal college town. The entrance and exit gates of the campus were taken from Belleview, the estate of Benjamin Harvey Hill, and are replicas of the wrought-iron gates at the White House in Washington. Five buildings house the school activities. The freshman dormi- tory is newly decorated and furnished with the best furniture. The sophomore and junior-senior halls are equipped with modern fur- nishings. Classroom and laboratory equipment are modern. The music, secretarial science, home economics, art, and speech depart- ments have adequate tools for superior work. LaGrange College is a fully accredited institution with member- ship in (1) The Georgia Association of Colleges, (2) The South- ern Association of Colleges for Women, (3) The Southern Asso- ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools, (4) The American Council on Education, (5) The Association of American Colleges, and is accredited by the University Senate of the Methodist Church and the Department of Education of the state of Georgia. An able faculty maintains the highest academic standards. Mem- bers of the faculty and staff are selected not only for their knowl- LaGrange College edge of their respective fields, but for their interest in spiritual values. For that reason the aims of the college are in tune with the loftiest spiritual aims of the Church. A study of curriculum, pro- gram, activities, and organizations will reveal this fact. Whereas LaGrange College was organized for the education of young women, men are admitted as day students. LaGrange College students attending graduate schools for ad- vanced training find themselves well prepared for graduate and professional study. Other graduates enter employment or marriage with a sense of fitness. It is a first class institution of learning with Christian foundations. LaGrange College 9 STUDENT ACTIVITIES ORGANIZATIONS The Student Government Association, based on powers and laws granted by the administration, controls all matters per- taining to conduct and the social life of the student body. The life and work of the college is based on the honor system. The Young Women's Christian Association is a religious organization in which all students hold membership. A council, assisted by a faculty advisory committee, plans and promotes the religious activities of the college program. A daily vesper service is held by the students for prayer, meditation, and religious in- struction. The Athletic Association, composed of the entire student body under the super- vision of the physical education director, controls the program of college sports. It formulates rules for eligibility to athletic teams and conduct of interclass sports. Maintenance of athletic equipment and pro- motion of wholesome sportsmanship are re- sponsibilities of the organization. The Curtain Raisers, dramatic organization, sponsors all pro- ductions of the speech department. Its membership is composed of students in the speech department and other students qualifying for membership. The LaGrange College Radio Theatre broadcasts weekly over Station WLAG, LaGrange. Alpha Psi Omega is a national dramatic fraternity. Members of the Curtain Raisers who have reached the requirements set up by the national organization are invited to join. The Art Club, composed of students in the art department, is for the purpose of developing art appreciation. Each year it spon- sors several art exhibits of national and state importance. The International Relations Club is made up of those students making history their major or minor subject. It has for its main purpose the study of international relationships. The program includes formal lectures, debates and round table dis- cussions. The Kiwana- q Club was organized to further the interests in all fields of home economics, as well as to promote friendship and leadership among all home economics students. 10 LaGrange College The Horatian Club was organized for the purpose of in- creasing interest in science by means of field trips, discussions, and demonstrations. Membership is limited to students majoring in science and to other students showing exceptional ability in scientific courses. The Christadelphian Club was organized to promote whole- some Christian living and fruitful activities on the campus and throughout the LaGrange community. Membership is limited to students majoring in religion. Honors Clubs. The honors club system was established in 1924. Eligibility is conditioned upon the literary hours taken and the academic standing of the student. Members are elected each year upon recommendations of the faculty. The Fine Arts Honors Club and the Secretarial Science Honors Club were established to give recognition to students of outstanding ability in music, art, speech, and secretarial science. Election to these clubs is the highest distinction that can be conferred on a student. Such awards are made on Honors Day, at which time a distinguished speaker is the guest of the college. The names of those who qualified for membership in the Honors Clubs during the academic year 1948-1949 are listed: Honors Club. Mary Jeannine Brown, Virginia Carlock, Clara Belle Gilstrap, Beulah Grace Hadaway, Pauline Lane, Charlotte Maxine Nail, Emily Lorene Price, Martha Louise Young. Secretarial Science Honors Club. Wyndolyn Vineyard The Harmonettes and Chapel Choir present annual concerts at Christmas and in the spring. Numerous appearances of the musical organizations are scheduled during the year in the city and throughout the state. Social Clubs. Social clubs are based on the campus sorority system. The four sororities include all students on the campus. The inter-sorority council creates and promotes cooperation among these social groups. Informal parties are held frequently on the campus and formal banquets are given in honor of members twice during the school year. Other social clubs include the Town Girls' Club, Preachers' Kids, OF Club, and the Newnan Club. LaGrance College 11 COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS The Quadrangle is the college year book issued annually by an elected staff. The Scroll is the literary magazine issued to encourage crea- tive writing. Students who do outstanding work on this publica- tion are entitled to membership in the Quill Drivers Club. The Scroll of Fame is composed of students who are out- standing in their contribution to the college magazine. Each year the group honored is selected by a faculty committee chosen by the Scroll staff. Those selected in 1949 were Barbara Bennett, Grace Hadaway, Virginia Summerville.

ALUMNAE AND MATRICULATES ASSOCIATION The LaGrange College Alumnae Association was organized to keep the alumnae informed of the needs and welfare of the college and to seek opportunity to express this interest by voluntary services to the college. 14 LaGrange College A reunion is held each year during commencement and all grad- uates are invited to return to the college. At the meeting in 1921, all matriculates were made eligible to membership in the associa- tion. The dues are one dollar per year. The files and records of graduates are kept in the office of the registrar. It is earnestly desired that alumnae chapters be formed in localities where a sufficient number of graduates live; therefore, it is necessary that all changes of address be sent to the registrar's office. Officers of the LaGrange College Alumnae Association President, Mrs. R. E. Erlicher, Atlanta, Georgia. Secretary, Miss Winnie Clark, Atlanta, Georgia. Treasurer, Miss Mary Traylor, LaGrange, Georgia. ADMISSION OF STUDENTS Students may be admitted by certificate or by examination. Graduates of the accredited high schools are admitted without examination, provided en- trance requirements are satisfied. Students from other than accredited schools are examined at entrance. All students entering the college must present fifteen entrance units, whether or not they expect to take the full amount of work leading to a degree. CERTIFICATE OF ENTRANCE Every student who enters for music, art, literary work, or other course is expected to present a certificate from the last school attended covering the work taken there. This rule may be abated for students in speech, music, or art only, who do not enter the college dormitory and are not seeking any certificate. Students should secure from the college the blank certificates to be filled out and signed by the principal of the school they are attending. These should be sent in before the summer vaca- tion. Candidates will find it much easier to attend to this before their schools close for the summer. LaGrange College 15 REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION For Entrance into Freshman Class: The applicant must offer subjects amounting to fifteen units. The units assigned to the sub- ject indicate the number of years, with five recitations (of not less than forty minutes in length) per week that is, the total amount of time devoted to the subject throughout the year should be at least 120 "sixty-minute" hours.

Every student is a member of the Association and with the aid of the Student Council seeks to uphold the spirit of honor and truth in cooperation and service. There are numerous interest groups on the campus with which students are invited to affiliate, affording opportunity for the de- velopment of special interests and abilities: such clubs as the Cam- era Club, the International Relations Club, the Home Economics Club, etc. The Athletic Association has arranged a program to meet the needs of all the students.

The Curtain Raisers present several plays each year. Every girl who comes to the college is invited to join one of the four local sororities. The Inter-Sorority Council promotes the spirit of social life of the campus. On arrival at the college, the student is given her registration card with complete information for enrollment. The rooms are furnished with heavy furniture, but each student furnishes her own bed linens, blankets, towels, curtains, a broom, rugs and decorative items for her room. The student bank is operated for the benefit of boarding students, and all personal cash should be deposited in this bank, and it may be checked out as desired. The college does not assume responsibility for money kept in the stu- dent's room.

A young woman is sent away to college to be educated, not only in books, but for life, and she should be taught to give systemati- cally to the church, Sunday school, and other organizations, in order that she may return to her community with convictions as to her individual duty. We suggest to parents the advisability of requiring their daugh- ters to keep an itemized account of personal expenditures. Young women should be taught the golden mean between extravagance and too rigid economy. NOTES REGARDING EXPENSES Checks should be made payable to LaGrange College.

Northern. LOANS Students may be able to borrow from special funds of the col- lege enough money to defray a large part of their expenses. This money loaned to a student begins to bear interest at the end of the year in which it was used. LaGrange College 51 Mr. William S. Witham, of the Board of Trustees, donated to the college the sum of $10,000 (which has increased to over $185,000) the interest to be loaned to students at the college. Mrs. J. C. Davidson, of West Point, Ga., as a memorial to her husband, gave $1,000 to be used as a loan fund. Information concerning these funds can be secured from the president. The decision as to who will be accepted is vested en- tirely in a committee of the Board of Trustees, to whom all appli- cations will be referred. STUDENT AID A few student-aid positions are available to students whose academic standing indicates their ability to carry the extra load of work. Some student aid positions pay $100 per year. Dining hall positions pay $225 per year. Students receiving the dining hall positions must be willing to serve any student or professional groups visiting the campus during the regular school term without further remuneration. 52 LaGrange College GRAUDATES OF 1949 BACHELOR OF ARTS Jeannine Brown - Augusta, Ga.

That I may cherish it And right loyally meet its responsibilities, I would lay aside that which is Narrow, selfish, ignoble and unkind; The false, superficial, the dishonest I would shun in thought, word and deed. Rather may I cultivate in my college life Those traits and ideals that will fit me To weave dreams into realities, and impressions into character; To meet bravely the hard tasks of life; To bring joy to those who sorrow, And strength to those who falter in their tasks. I would strive to judge more kindly, Trust more fully, and love more deeply, That my life may reflect His goodness, And my soul may grow in the knowledge Of Him, whom to know is Life Eternal.
