Foreword

The Student Government Association, based on pow-
ers and laws granted by the President and Faculty, has
control of all matters pertaining to the conduct and
social life of the students. Each student should learn to
appreciate that the least disregard of the rules on her
part means extra care upon her fellow students, who,
though conscientiously assuming office under the As-
sociation, have yet come to college to enjoy and make
use of the advantages that LaGrange College offers. The
life and work of the college is based on the Honor
System, and this system applies not only to the rules
and regulations concerning conduct, but to scholastic
work as well.

To learn to live honorably and unselfishly in a com-
munity and to share in the responsibility of the govern-
ment is a part of the broader education for which we
come to college. We ask of each student her hearty
cooperation. We hope our Student Government Asso-
ciation will succeed in helping its students be intelligent
citizens and thinking individuals.

The L. C. Girl's Creed

Life is mine to live. That I may cherish it

And right royally 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 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.

Pledge

I, , upon my

honor, do hereby pledge myself to honesty in academic
work and in student relations. I promise to cooperate
with the community in maintaining high standards of
citizenship by upholding the Constitution, By-laws, and
Regulations of the Student Government Association. I
further promise to help my fellow students to maintain
the ideals of this institution by calling her attention to
any misconduct on her part.

I understand that a plea of ignorance will not excuse
my failure to keep this pledge.

GREETINGS TO THE FRESHMAN CLASS:

We are happy that you have selected LaGrange Col-
lege as the college of your choice. We are glad you are
here and hope that you will find a congenial atmosphere
and a stimulating fellowship with your comrades on the
campus. College days are happy days. As we welcome
you to LaGrange our wish is that your spirit of friend-
liness may win for you the respect and friendship of
your fellows and make your college career a joyous
experience.

Sincerely yours,

Hubert Quillian, President

Reaching for the Stars?

The main thing you came to college for was an edu-
cation. Part of this education will come from books,
and part of it will not. The part that comes from your
regular classes is important because it determines
whether or not you will remain in college, and whether
or not you will receive a degree and subsequently be
qualified to earn your own way, and hold your head
up in a world that is filled with more educated and
well-trained people every year.

STUDY: You must in order to succeed. One "Silly
Sara" came to school with the statement on her tongue
that only morons study but she found that only mo-
rons don't study. There was also "Flirty Pearly" who
said that there was more to college than studying and
she was soon to discover that being college-bred did
not mean having a "Four- Year-Loaf."

Now there must be some solution and there is.
Don't plan to study all the time and don't plan to
play all the time. College will seem very different to
you after high school classes. You will be given harder
assignments, you will be expected to take down lecture
notes, to read outside assignments, etc. It may take you
a little time to catch on to college but how you begin
may set the speed for your following year so plan to
do your work from the very first.

In order to help you to study, the following rules are
in effect in the dormitories.

QUIET:

1. From 8:30 A.M. to 1 :00 and 2: 10 to 5: 10 and 7: 15
to 10:00 P.M., except on Saturday afternoons and
nights, Sundays, and holidays. Call downs are given
for violation of this rule.

2. Absolute quiet from 10:30 P.M. to 7:00 A.M.

3. Radios must not be heard outside the room during
quiet hours or after lights. If this is not observed, a
major call down will be given.

4. Girls answering the phones during quiet hours are
requested not to call in the halls.

5. Phones must not be used during study hall and
after room bell except for urgent calls.

6. Following a concert or a program, study hall will
be strictly observed even if only thirty minutes re-
main.

7. No one is to visit after room bell at 10:30 without
special permission. Students must remain in their
respective buildings after this bell unless granted
special permission.

STUDY HALL:

Study hall will be kept by a monitor from 7:15 to
10:00 P.M.

1. Students in Hawkes and Smith may not leave the
floor without signing out with the study hall moni-
tor. Students from any other building may obtain
permission from monitor.

2. Freshmen may not study in another room without
permission from the monitor.

3. Penalty for not observing these rules will be a major
call down.

Special quiet rules go into effect during examina-
tion week. Then rules are made by and for the stu-
dents.

Quiet and Welcome signs will be provided for each
room. The quiet side is to be turned out in case the
occupants do not want to be disturbed when studying,
sleeping, etc. A minor call down will be given for break-
ing a quiet sign also a minor call-down will be given
for having a quiet sign up when not in use. A council
member's quiet sign may be broken in case of an emer-
gency. In case you must see someone who has a quiet
sign on her door, ask a council member to break it.
Telephone messages may be given.

TELEPHONES:

1. No telephones are to be used after room bell except
for urgent calls.

2. Students are requested to be considerate of others
when talking on the phone. Don't talk too long.
Only urgent calls may be received during study halls.

3. Telephone on main floor of Smith Building is re-
served for faculty use and college business. Students
are requested to use telephones on dormitory floors.

Men on Campus

LaGrange College is not a nunnery nor is it a teem-
ing metropolis of male life. However, men are availably
if you're lucky!

The too overboard method, sad to say, does not land
men and the secluded maid remains secluded. You'll

meet these local fellows through friends in time. These
fellows are put on the Calling List LaGrange boys. If
you have friends to add to this list, see the Student
Government President about the requirements.

Date cards must be signed with the Dean of Women
or her assistant upon the arrival of your date (residents
of Hawkes and Smith). All students may date on Sat-
urday and Sunday afternoons and nights. Additional
date nights are determined by academic standing.

The Dean's List entitles each worthy beaver three
extra date nights. However, you have to stay there
to continue to enjoy these extra joys.

Signing out for relatives' homes does not legalize an
extra date night. No student may have dates while un-
der restriction.

Students may ride only within the city limits; stu-
dents may not keep automobiles at college.

All date cards must be signed by the Dean of Women
and then presented, by self, to the House President by
10:30. Seniors have until 11:00 the lucky stiffs!

Out-of-town boys are dated only after special per-
mission is sent by your parents to the Dean of Women:
You may see an out-of-town friend one hour without
signing a date card.

Date 'em if yah can but you are responsible for their
conduct as well as yours. Have fun but enjoy it!

"Eti-kit"

"Eti-kit" is something to taste, chew, swallow, and
digest in the college dining hall. A home-like atmosphere

at mealtimes is the aim however customs here do vary
from home sweet home.

Reasonable quiet is expected in the dining room
during meals. However, singing of "Happy Birthday"
and such songs is the manner and mode.

Eating is a common activity of all human beings
therefore familiarity with the simple routine at meal-
times will help newcomers to feel at home. Having of
meals are as follows:

Breakfast bell at 7:30 A.M.; lunch bell at 1 : 10 P.M.;
dinner bell at 6:00 P.M.

All residents remain standing until after grace has
been said. No food or drinks are to be passed before
the blessing. The doxology is sung at Sunday dinner.

Everyone is expected to be at meals on time. If later
than 5 minutes a minor call-down will result.

Announcements are made at meals quiet should
prevail during these in order that they may be heard.

There is a hostess at each table who bears the re-
sponsibility of the table. The hostess is usually a senior.
All regrets, complaints, and similar vocalizations must
come to her and she relays them to the proper source
waitress or dietician. Remember, it is considered im-
polite to start your dessert before your hostess starts
hers. Remain at your table until excused by your host-
ess.

It is impolite to yell from one table to another to
pass food between tables or to take food out of the din-
ing hall.

It shows good taste to "freshen-up" for meals. It
helps you to enjoy the meal and to make a good im-

pression. This neat appearance is expected at all meals,
including breakfast. Hair shall be combed or tied in a
scarf for breakfast and lunch. No kerchiefs are to be
worn at dinner. No pajamas, bedroom slippers, or rain-
coats are allowed at any time.

Once each month there will be a "Birthday Dinner"
for those having a birthday in that month. Those hav-
ing birthdays during the summer months will be invited
to join with those of the school term. Everyone is ex-
pected to dress for these dinners. Those being honored
dress formally. There will also be other dinners from
time to time which everyone is expected to dress. These
will be announced in advance.

Places at the table will be assigned and reassigned
often. This is done to promote new friendships and ac-
quaintances. These places are yours at lunch and din-
ner. At breakfast you may sit where you choose. Also
the week-end is a time to "roam."

If you miss the evening meal; a dinner absence must
be signed by 5:30 P.M. These will be found by the
signing-out book in the hall of Smith. A dinner ab-
sence must be approved by a member of the student
council. Failure to sign a dinner absence or to have it
approved will result in a minor call-down.

The chairman of any group planning to be away
for lunch or dinner will sign for the entire group with
the dietician.

We are glad to have your guests in the dining hall at
anytime but we must be prepared for them. See the
Dietician well in advance when you plan to have guests.
Meals must be paid for to the bookkeeper three meals
$1.00. Single meal $.35.

INSPECTION

Home Clean Home

Mother won't be around to clean up your room or
to tell you to do it. You will have to take this responsi-
bility yourself. You and your roommate need to work
out a definite schedule for doing this, and then make
the schedule work. A place for everything and every-
thing in its place may sound a little stiff and "old-maid-
ish", but it makes for easy running.

There are mops, brooms and dust pans in the utility
rooms of each building. The maids clean the bathrooms
and halls. The residents are expected to keep things
picked up off the bathroom floors and not to sweep
their trash in the hall. The maids already have a big
task.

If you intend to bring back snacks from home, bring
a tin container to keep them in. Food is not to be kept
in your room except in tin containers because it at-
tracts insects.

Remember all students are responsible for the neatness
of their rooms. Rooms are subject to inspection by 9 : 30
A.M. each day except Sunday and college holidays.

Minor call downs will be given for untidy rooms.

yourself. Remember that we do not know all you can
do, so show us by going out for all college activities.

The Student Government is to help you, not catch
you.

Remember that we have all been Freshmen ourselves,
and don't hesitate to call on us.

LaGrange has the honor system in Student Govern-
ment.

If you don't know, ask. Curious Freshmen make wise
Sophomores.

The faculty is waiting to like you, so give them the
opportunity.

The Dean's List is a place of honor.

Always introduce your guests to the Dean of Women.

Remember that your own good name and the good
name of your college is represented by your actions.

"sign in." It pays.

This is the place to make friends, so don't go around
with one girl exclusively.

Remember that you reflect your home.

Remember that you are here to work. Each neglected
task makes the next one harder.

Being quiet is a personal matter. Keep it so. No one
should have to tell you.

Honor is too dear to be compromised for popularity,
or for the fear of being unpleasant.

Remember that your health is important; take care
of it.

Don't come to school prejudiced; you'll like it.

It is good taste to freshen up for dinner.

A Freshman who can smile will go further than one
who cannot.

Church attendance is not compulsory for students,
but it is expected at the church of your choice.

You'll never like anything until you try it.

Pay on time all dues. You are not a full-fledged mem-
ber of any organization unless you do.

Don't be afraid to make mistakes, just don't let it be-
come a bad habit.

Remember that appropriate street clothes should be
worn in town.

Remember to read the bulletin boards each day.

Everyone needs a white dress.

Remember that chronic borrowers do not make good
friends.

Begin well. Bad work for the first semester may han-
dicap you through the whole year.

Not to leave the dining hall until excused by the
hostess of the table.

To aid in keeping the college and the grounds in
order.

Class spirit is fine, but college spirit is better.

Do not appear on the campus in shorts, jeans, swim
suits, or house coats.

Any library book checked out on your name for an-

run up a fine for you. Let your friends check out books
for themselves.

guests.

out a "Y" sister to get acquainted with you, help you

meal, the pajama party, and see that you meet other
students. We want you to feel that you are a vital part

Grange College, a member of the Young Women's

realize full and creative life through a growing knowl-
edge of God.

We determine to have a part in making this life pos-
sible for all people.

In this task we seek to understand Jesus and follow
Him.

Follow the Gleam

To the Knights in the days of old,
Keeping watch on the mountain heights,
Came a vision of Holy Grail
And a voice through the waiting night.

Follow, follow, follow the gleam;
Banners unfurled o'er all the world.
Follow, follow the gleam,
Of the Chalice that is the grail.

And we who would serve the King
And loyally Him obey;
In the consecrated silence know
That the challenge still holds today.

Follow, follow, follow the gleam;
Standards of worth o'er all the earth.
Follow, follow, follow the gleam
Of the light that shall bring the dawn.

Athletic Association

at the end of the year when the tennis trophy, the
medals, the letters, and the stars are awarded, you thank
your lucky stars that your nose did peel a few well,
six or eight times for you have your reward.

Yes, as I started to say, when I was so rudely inter-
rupted, the Athletic Association is here to foster a spirit
of good sportsmanship, wholesome play, and the devel-

Alma Mater

Ever loyal, true;
Hail to thee our Alma Mater,

Hail to thee LaGrange.
In thy mighty grove of learning,

Wisdom's path we've sought;
High upon thy lofty hilltop

Visions have we wrought.
From our hearts we sing the chorus.

Let the sound prolong!
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,

Hail to thee, LaGrange.

L. C. on the Hill

Oh! It's L. C. on the Hill

That we love and always will,

Because she has our hearts and spirits, too,

She spurs us on in all we do.

Oh, we respect her and her past.

May her glory ever last.

So here's to the red and black we cheer,

To LaGrange we're glad we're here.
