"Life is a song." Yes, but life is not a simple melody
carelessly played by untried fingers. It is a complex and
intricate symphony of thrills and heartaches, work and
pleasure, joy and sorrow, which we practice daily through-
out our life span; and the symphony we compose and play
is only finished when life itself is finished. And yet, the
four years in college, although a movement of our entire
life symphony, comprise so complete a unit in themselves
as to form a smaller symphony within the greater one.

In the 1941 Quadrangle we attempt to present the
complete score of our L. C. Symphony of Life, finished
only through the untiring efforts of the conductor, the
loyal support and devotion of the sponsors, and the un-
ending practice of the musicians themselves.

For . . . her continual sympathetic interest;

For . . . her outstanding ability as a Glee Club and choir director;

For . . . her vibrant personality which pervades not only the Hill but
all of LaGrange; and

For . . . being just "Madame" whose work, loyalty, and charm have
endeared her to everyone who knows her, we dedicate this, the
1941 Quadrangle, to Elizabeth H. Gilbert.

May I express my felicitations to the Class of 1941 as the
day of your graduation draws near. To many of you this
day has been "the one far-off divine event toward which
the whole creation moved." And yet it is only the be-
ginning a commencement of a new way of life for

you. What the pattern of that life shall be, you alone
can determine. Whatever betides may you continue to
have faith in the dignity and worth of yourself as an
individual and a deep and abiding concern for the com-
mon good. May you have a love of truth and a reverence
for righteousness in which the true values of life inhere.
Only through the voluntary disciplines of morality and
the spirit of self-sacrifice thus developed, may the good
life be obtained and the democratic process be preserved.
May the knowledge you have gained and the power it
confers contribute to your joy and the welfare and hap-
piness of all.

Sincerely,

e <zja ci i it i j

SENIORS and tLu

There are fascinating stories of great men and great women; there are thrilling accounts of adventures;
there are exciting tales of the struggles of nations; but most important of all, there are memories of
college days days that are full and overflowing each one a new and unpredictable adventure in itself.
These memories are fascinating stories of future great women (we hope) ; they are the thrilling accounts
of our adventures into the vast realm of knowledge; they are exciting tales of our struggles to assimilate
this knowledge. They are the memories of the grandest days of our life our days at LaGrange College.

Looking at the rows of Seniors in their solemn black caps and gowns, with one or two caps a little
awry, who would ever believe that they are the remains of those wide-eyed, gullible and self-conscious
kids that started the long grind in 193 7, and are on the verge of crossing the goal line. But it's true, and
we're all happy and sad, and sorry and glad.

For with the word "LaGrange" there comes to our minds hundreds of pictures: hopeful rushes to the
post office just before chapel; big goody boxes from home; sleepless nights worrying about various and
sundry things; slow-moving class periods filled with daydreaming; that awful waiting and hoping for a
phone call; the joy of sleeping after a good day's work; "Please See Mes" from Dean Bailey and the tedious
process of pacifying the family; restlessness before holidays; recitals and more recitals some good, and
some not so good, but always interesting because they represented work and effort; lively chatter and
laughter in the dining hall, and the monotonous singing of "Happy Birthday to You"; exam time when
everybody is hollow-eyed and cross; myriads of jokes and pranks; uplifting and inspiring moments in the
prayer hall; "Moon River" and aching hearts; filling trips to the Senior Store and frantically searching for
the key; endless sessions over cokes in the drug store downtown; the lonesome sound of train whistles in
the still of the night; hard and devitalizing games of soccer; the unwelcome sound of the alarm clock;
delightful sorority meetings; long hours in the library; Sunday afternoons when it rained. Sometimes when
the going was rough, we thought, "Why did I ever come to college, anyhow? Wherever did I get the
crazy idea that I knew anything about anything? Every thing I do is wrong! ... I Haven't an ounce of
sense!" then there were a few precious times when we worked diligently and reaped what we had sown,
and everything in us sang because we knew we had done our best. And now, simply the word "LaGrange"
brings it all to life again.

Our first year brings to mind initiation and what a wide field of activities that covered! And what
cowering and terrified rats we were before those "awful Sophs!" It was our first real taste of college life
(and mineral oil), and it tasted a little bitter, but we loved it after it was all over. After overcoming
our fear of the Sophs, we discovered that they were swell gals, and pretty soon, we thought everyone was
a swell gal, even if they did sometimes take advantage of our ignorance. We learned a lot that year about
how much we were expected to know, and about how much we didn't know. Those first weeks we learned
all there was to be known about Bull Sessions.

The handbook said, "Freshmen may go to town twice a week," so we strolled down from our little
feminine world to mix and mingle with the outside world twice a week. Also the handbook said "No
student is allowed to ride to and from a destination unless it is raining," so every time we went to town
we hopefully prayed for rain. Those two times a week we stored up "Jones' Specials" and hotdogs like a
cimel storing up a month's supply of water. All our clothes we outgrew, and when we went home for
the week-end, people remarked, "You're looking well," or "College certainly agrees with you; how much
have you gained?" And we all smiled and tried to act nice, but all the time, we were fuming inside, and
secretly resolving to "go on a diet" the minute we got back to school.

Sorority bids went out, and we "made up our minds" and R. S. V. Peed at 5:00 o'clock, and were
taken into the inmost secrets of the "Eta This" or the "Gamma That." Now each of us had our special
little group, and we felt that we truly belonged.

Then the Junior Class had a meeting a very, very important meeting and each of the Juniors chose
a Freshman to guide and protect. We no longer had to worry, we had an upperclassman pulling especially
for us.

That first Christmas at home was such fun, seeing all our home-town friends and comparing colleges.
We all loved our school chums, but we still felt that "there are no friends like old friends."

Before we had hardly settled down from the holiday gaiety, we realized with dismay that it was time
for our first finals finals that terrified us even more than the Sophs did. And we spent much more time
worrying than we did studying, and somehow we survived those exams on the merits of our worrying, I
guess.

Spring Holidays and May Day followed in quick succession, rushing right into our first Commence-
ment. How we stood in awe of the Seniors, wondering if we would ever be numbered in that coveted class.
Perhaps we even shed a few tears at the thought of losing our Senior friends.

"Why," you may ask, "do you remember so much about your first year?" Because it was a new experi-
ence, an experience of being "on your own," and making a place for yourself in the college world. The
spirit and curiosity and enthusiasm of the Freshman can never be equaled.

"We can't wait for summer to begin," we said, and it was restful at first, but before long, we missed
"all the girls" and longed for the hurry and bustle of school. Then we couldn't wait for school to begin,
and we happily repacked our skirts and sweaters, and joyfully greeted our classmates, and viewed the
freshies with secret delight because we knew that they would soon be at our mercy. Remembering our
experiences of the previous year, it was easy for us to yell at the rats and "let 'em have it." "They're too
high-handed, they need to be taken down," we told ourselves, not daring to think back and remember how
we felt.

It made us feel big to visit in Freshman Hall, and talk about which courses to take, and which not to
take, and what to expect of which teachers, while the Freshmen absorbed what we said like a sponge. We
knew things. We had had a whole year of experience.

Being a Sophomore had lots of responsibilities. Our sister class was graduating, and we had to help send
them to New Orleans. To give said help, we sponsored a party in February a Valentine Party with a Kay
Kyser musical program. We planned and planned, and sent invitations to every boy we had ever heard of.
Then we decorated the gym until it looked like anything but a gym. People came from miles around, and
bought everything we had to sell. With aching feet and strained muscles, we jubilantly counted up a tidy
profit to help send the Seniors on their trip to the "Crescent City."

The first of May the Seniors took their table, and we had to strain our originality and ingenuity to
decorate again. We made placecards and favors, and adorned the table with Greyhound Busses. In our
white evening dresses we looked quite angelic as we formed a line for the Seniors to pass through. The
crowning event of the night was when we presented our Sister Class with thirty dollars each dollar bill
painstakingly rolled up and tied with a white ribbon like a diploma.

Came class day, and we were responsible for the refreshments and the daisy chain. That daisy chain
was almost our undoing too. Will I ever forget how we rode out the Franklin road, early in the morn in
a drizzling rain, and plucked every little daisy for acres around. Every spare minute we had that morn-
ing, we rushed down to the gym and wrapped daisies around that seemingly endless rope. By noon the
drizzle had increased to torrents, and we sorrowfully read the disgusting announcement that class day had
been called off on account of inclement weather. We all went down and lovingly looked up our useless
daisy chain. We had done our best, but the elements had done their worst!

This Commencement we shed numerous tears as our Sister Class departed.

Our crowds at home had broken up some married, and others moved away. Then we suddenly knew
that there are no friendships quite like college friendships.

That September of our Junior year, we were even gladder to "get back and settle down." Now was
the time to make plans for "after graduation," and to definitely decide on major subjects; now was the
time to choose our Freshman sisters, and cherish and protect them. It was like "being done unto" one year,
and "doing unto" the next. More than ever before we were learning the art of cooperation, and the ad-
vantages and necessities of working together. We dutifully handed over our class dues each month, and our
Senior trip loomed on the horizon.

In May we each became a hostess at our table in the dining hall, and it was our duty to see that every-
one at our table (including ourselves) got enough vitamins. Also we took over the store, and we were so
proud of this new possession that we practically fought over "whose turn it was to keep the store."

To celebrate the receiving of our Senior privileges we had a blow-out affair a picnic at the city pool
with enough food for all of us to carry some home. How glorious to be a Senior! We could go places
alone, we could chaperone to the show, we could go out any night of the week in fact, about all we had
to do was be in by 10:15. We tried our new rules, and they were good, and we wondered how we ever got
along when we were Freshmen.

Unbelievably soon, our Senior year; the year we had always thought would never come; the year we
hated to think was our last; but the year we hoped to make the best. That first Sunday when we donned
our caps and gowns and strolled nonchalantly down the church aisle while everybody stood up and stared
at us there'll never be another thrill quite like that one.

It was worth the struggle through the other three years just to be branded a Senior and to have a
whole year of dignity and superiority.

Speaking of a grand and glorious time that's exactly what our Senior Trip was. Fun, Food and Ad-
venture, capitalized and underscored. "Our Trip" was something that we planned for the longest and
something we will remember the longest. If you don't believe me, just ask any Senior who went.

All too soon they've ended our gay and carefree days, and we find ourselves facing the world. Perhaps
we aren't armed with knowledge, but we're certainly armed with memories.

And now, simply the word "LaGrange" brings it all to life again and it will never die!

WHEN I HAVE SUNG MY SONGS

Ernest Charles

When I have sung my songs to yon,

I'll sing no more.
'T would be a sacrilege to sing

at another door.
We've worked so hard to hold

our dreams, just you and I.
I could not share them all again
Yd rather die with just the thought

that I had loved so well, so true,
That I could never sing again,
That I could never, never sing again,
Except to you.

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 sorrow, and

Strength to those who falter in their tasks.

1 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 knoivlcdge

Of Him, whom to know is life eternal.

applies not only to the rules and regulations concerning conduct, but to scholastic work as well. The
Student Council feels that it should aid the student in becoming adjusted to college life in order that her
college days may be happier and in order that she may do her best for the college community. The Council
realizes that good citizenship on a college campus leads to good citizenship all through life.

The present Student Government officers were installed during the third week of March, 1940. Since
that time their duties have been numerous. During the year the Council has had the opportunity to sponsor
several worthwhile projects.

In the spring of 1940, the Student Council sponsored a movement to encourage the student body to
contribute to the fund for building a new college dormitory. This campaign proved very successful and
the Council was able to present a very nice sum to the building committee.

In May, the Student Council assisted in sending delegates to the Nineteenth Annual Congress of the
Southern Federation of College Students and Publications Representative. This meeting was held in New
Orleans, Louisiana. Many helpful suggestions and ideas for student government were obtained from the
lectures and discussion groups.

In the fall, the Student Council is responsible for the guidance of Freshmen during the first weeks of
school. This orientation program culminates in the Junior-Freshman Wedding. This wedding signifies that
the Freshmen are no longer associated members of the Student Government Association but they have re-
ceived their privileges as a member of the organization. The bride is elected from the Freshman Class, the
groom is elected from their sister class, the Junior. The ceremony is performed by the President of Student
Government.

As the Student Council feels that students need some recreation, it sponsored a movement to purchase
a record player for the parlors. The movement was successful and the student body has enjoyed this source
of pleasure.

This year marks the twenty-fourth year of Student Government at LaGrange College. It is hoped that
during the years the students have in some way gained a clearer conception of how to live honorably and
unselfishly and how to share in the responsibility of government.

The purpose of the Y. W. C. A. is to help the student to a richer, fuller, and nobler conception of life,
to further spiritual, social, and physical growth and to encourage Christian youth with its ideals and
purposes.

Nightly vespers are conducted under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. by various members of the
student body. It is so planned that by the end of the year every student, with few exceptions, has partici-
pated in one of these programs. The Prayer Hall has become one of L. C.'s most treasured traditions and
the returning alumnae may always be found stealing a few quiet moments to visit this spot.

The yearly activities of the Y. W. C. A. also include a candlelight service at which time the new
members of the "Y" are pledged by the lighting of their candles from the candle in the hand of the
President.

Throughout the year the organization does social service
work. At Thanksgiving and at Christmas the entire student body
becomes the social service committee. At Thanksgiving baskets
are filled through free-will offerings and distributed among mem-
bers of poor families. A Christmas party is given in the dining
hall for the servant force with lighted Christmas tree and a pro-
gram presented by the students in conjunction with the kitchen
and household force.

Delegations from the Christian organizations in other colleges
and Christian Youth Conferences are promoted by our local
group. During the year deputations from the University of
Georgia, Emory University and Georgia Tech were received at
our school. Delegates were sent to the Southeastern Area Y. W.
C. A. Conferences, Junaluska, and Blue Ridge. The suggestions
received from these conferences prove extremely beneficial to the
Cabinet.

The social activities of the organization include a tea for the
student body and faculty on the first Sunday after the fall session
begins. In the spring the "Y" sponsors a party for the student
body. The final social event is the breakfast given by the Cabinet
for the Seniors.

The officers for the new year are selected in March and assume
their responsibilities at that time. By so doing, the new Cabinet
is well organized and is prepared to execute the new year's busi-
ness more efficiently.

The Y. W. C. A. plays a leading role in our college life. Every
student is a member of this organization, pledged to cooperate to
the best of her ability in realizing the Y. W. C. A. theme and
benediction: "I am come that they might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly."

SCENES FROM THE CRADLE SONG, BY MARTINEZ SIERRA.
Left: Johns, Lamkin. . . . Top: Flecth, Twiggs, Purg.ison.
Bottom: Flceth, Trnsscl!, Wilson, Brinkman, Bryson.

The first productions of the year were three one-act studio performances. All studio
performances are open dramatic club meetings and the student body is invited. Three
sets of these plays are presented during the year. It is in studio performances that majors
in dramatics do their work in directing.

Martinez Sierra's The Cradle Son^ was the first major production of 1940-41. In
contrast to the quiet formality and dignity of the Convent of Dominican Nuns is the
cluttered life of the Russians in Squaring the Circle which was presented in March. The
year was closed with Stage Door by Kaufman and Ferber.

The annual Christmas pageant, which is given in conjunction with the Glee Club,
was The Innkeeper's Daughter, by our librarian, Miss Carrie Fall Benson.

Through the hearty cooperation of its members and the unstinting efforts of its
director, Miss Betty Carpenter, the club has been able to fully carry out its year's
program.

The surest way to bring on old age is to publish an annual no foolin'! Be it simple or be it ornate, a
yearbook is as complicated as the nervous system. There's absolutely no limit or category for some of the
things that the staff has to do. Let's take a glimpse of the staff at work. There's Marjie in a maze of
layouts, files, glossy prints, and a dozen other things, jotting down little items here and there, while
Libba is stationed at the desk, going to town on the typewriter (and also her gum). They're both trying
to think up some original way to word the same old stuff, and all the others are trying so courageously
to help. Margaret is writing out receipts for ad payments that have just come in, frantically trying to
remember whether she promised the firm that their ad would be at the top of column two or column
three. Poor little Hilda is quietly going mad trying to catalogue the innumerable activities of one of the
Seniors who has dropped by for a last-minute interview. And Juanita, will we ever be able to thank
her enough for all the lovely campus scenes she drew. Sometimes even we wonder how the annual

emerged out of such chaos! But seriously,
trying to bind all the phases of our school
life into an integrated book has been great
fun. If some parts of this annual do not
fulfill your expectations, remember that
some things like attitudes, spirits, and
atmospheres, can never be put between
the covers of a book. Between Mr. Davis'
photography and our literary efforts, we
have attempted to record a living ac-
count of life at L. C. So we of the 1941
Quadrangle Staff give you this brain-
storm, hoping you will criticize it spar-
ingly and handle it with care.

The Quill Drivers' Club is the literary organization of LaGrange College,
consisting of the Scroll staff and those girls interested in writing who have
had at least three articles published in the college publication in one year.
Membership in the club is maintained by the same number of accepted con-
tributions during each year.

The Scroll, which appears three times annually, has for its purpose the
encouragement of good writing among the students. Each year those students,
not more than four in number, who have made the most distinctive contri-
butions to this magazine are selected to appear in the Scroll of Fame. This
is the highest honor awarded at LaGrange College for literary work.

Any L. C. student may submit materials, including poems, essays, feature
articles, short stories, plays, and reviews, the best of which are selected for
publication.

Subscription to the Scroll is almost one hundred per cent, on the campus.

"Friendliness" is the word that best describes the organization of
town girls who daily climb the hill to attend classes. The cheerful
Town Girls' Club room is the center of interesting, informal
discussions between classes. Sometimes a conscientious lassie at-
tempts (or pretends) to study in the room, but somehow she
breaks into the session after all and forgets her books for another
while. A moment's pause in the room smoothes ruffled spirits and
tired brains. The club has effortlessly achieved its purpose, that
of encouraging friendships and understanding through whole-
some fun.

The International Relations Club has as its purpose to study and discuss history as it is daily being made
in national and international events, events that vitally affect us both in the present and in the future. The
desire of the club is to seek a thoughtful and intelligent interpretation of modern affairs. The club is
composed of girls who have indicated their interest in this phase of study by majoring or minoring in
history, or by the careful study they have given this subject. The aim of the club is not to express itself
by a large membership but rather by its earnest endeavor. We are a member of the Georgia International
Club, the southeast district meeting once a year. Under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace, the club annually receives between eight to sixteen books of current interest in the
political, economic and historical fields.

Under the able direction of Miss Gilbert, the Glee Club, a chorus of forty
voices, has had a most successful year.

With Sara Twiggs as soloist, the Glee Club sang at the dedication of
the Residence Hall.

In December, the ensemble in cooperation with the Dramatic Club,
furnished the music for the Christmas pageant. On this program, Frances
Floyd, Sara Twiggs, and Dorothy Pope were featured soloists.

The Glee Club gave several selections on the January Student Recital,
and in the spring appeared in the annual Glee Club concert the highlight
of the musical year.

Early in the spring preparation for commencement music was begun,
with only enough time taken off to prepare the May Day music. After
the May Day festivities came Graduation exercises with the Glee Club in
white vestments tearfully singing farewell to the Seniors.

We are especially proud that Melba Keeble, one of our soprano soloists,
sings each week over radio station WDAK at West Point, Georgia.

Rehearsals, twice a week, are something to look forward to a time
when we forget everything else and devote our entire resources to the
blending of lovely music.

Human activities have many purposes, and there are many kinds of Arts,
differing so widely in purpose as to make classification difficult and
confusing. The monthly projects of each Art Club member represent
diversified interests. It is common to speak of some of them as Fine Arts,
and others as Useful Arts, or Mechanic Arts, or Handicrafts, but a clear
distinction between them is not often attempted. Properly it is a distinc-
tion of purpose.

An Art is not a Fine Art unless its purpose is first and foremost to
give pleasure; to give, moreover, a certain kind of pleasure, namely,
aesthetic pleasure pleasure derived from the sense of beauty; and to give
it, finally by means of an imitation or interpretation of life in terms of
artistic conventions.

Through study, and work, and exhibits, both out-of-town and local, the Art Club develops in its
members an appreciation of Art that will immensely enlarge their powers of understanding and therefore
enjoyment.

All the Arts should have but one single purpose, and should contribute as much as it is within their
own particular power to do so to the highest of all the Arts the Art of living.

The purposes of the Home Ec. Club are to familiarize each girl with the materials and techniques of some
of the phases of Home Economics, to appreciate the scope of various subjects in that field, to develop for
each girl her own desirable pattern of character and conduct based on recognition of her individual in-
terests and abilities, and to build a wholesome attitude to the opportunities and responsibilities in the field
of homemaking.

Among the activities that the Home Ec. Club of LaGrange College has outlined for the year 1941 is
the plan for a tearoom which will be opened every Saturday night to all students. Set programs have been
planned for the individual meetings which are held twice a month.

Obviously eligibility to the Preachers' Kids group is hereditary. It is a very informal

group, one of many more or less organized groups in colleges and universities throughout

the United States. We try to live up to our reputations and promote fellowship and

good will in all campus activities.

Each month we have a night meeting with a guest speaker on photog-

been cooperative with our club in allowing us to use their materials, and
in attending our meetings and giving helpful information.

promoting congeniality and cooperation among the sororities on the hill. The Council

we initiated a project to provide lunches for underpriviledged

The Athletic Association has for its purpose the promotion of interest in athletics and the development
of the physical side of the individual. To do this it has arranged a physical education program adequate to
meet the needs of all the students. A point system allowing both individual athletic development and team
work is used.

Membership in the Georgia Athletic Federation of College Women assures the organization of latest
trends of interest in athletics and the major problems confronting the athletic departments of the colleges
of Georgia. This organization sponsors a convention each year to which two delegates from each college
are sent. L. C. participates each year, and contributes to the News-Letter which contains athletic news of
the various colleges.

Heretofore the Athletic Association has sponsored soccer, speedball, baseball, tennis, swimming, ping-
pong, and track events. This year the Association hopes to offer, in addition, horse-back riding and archery.
The "L" Club is composed of those girls who have received their college letters. There are ten letters
awarded each year on the basis of points won in athletics. These points may be acquired by making a
college team, practicing a certain number of hours, participating in field day, and by keeping health
month.

The girls who make the "L" Club should
receive the highest tribute. For it is not just
the letter that a girl receives, but those nu-
merous lessons that she is taught in deciding
whether or not a thing is worth working
for those long tiresome hours of exercise,
that refusing an invitation to a feast, that
getting to bed on time all go to make the
"L" symbolic of many fine traits of char-
acter that a girl has to display if she earn-
estly desires a letter.

"And I'll never forget the day Mr. Bailey got up in chapel and read the names of the Varsity Soccer
Team. This team is an eleven from all the other teams, you know a sort of All-American team. Eligi-
bility is based on ability, sportsmanship, and class spirit. I'll tell you who made up this team because you
will probably meet every one of these girls while you're here today. Let's see if I can remember them all:
left wing, Hazel Allen; left inner, Kathryn Hays, and Harriet Crumbley they were both so good no
choice between them could be made; then Virginia Garrett at center; Willie Wilson, right inner; Eris
Tucker, right wing; Doris Arrington, left halfback; Julia Phillips, center halfback; Barbara Brinkman,
right halfback; one of the McGee twins at left fullback the one with the decided widow's peak, Evelyn;
Sara Gray Mize at right fullback; and Dorothy Price, goalie. ... I think that gets them all.

"After the soccer tournament is over, we play volleyball until time to play baseball. On Field Day,
the day of track races, etc., we finish the baseball tournament. It is just as exciting but not as swiftly
moving as the soccer tournament. Field Day means blue ribbons, red ribbons, and white ribbons for indi-
vidual winners, and a silver cup to the class obtaining the most points. On Field Day, too, the tennis
tournament closes. Both singles and doubles matches are played off. Then the champions play other schools.

"But, heavens, here I am just spieling off, and you haven't said a word."

"Oh, I've enjoyed listening to you talk. I'm keen about it already. But where around here can I play
golf?"

"You don't mean to say I've talked this long and haven't mentioned the Highland Country Club.
Every girl on the Hill is a courtesy member on the club, and the course is excellent. Also the pools and
tennis courts are an added advantage."

"That's great! I'm ready for the new school term to begin right now."

"Hey, wait, let's get this year's crop graduated first."

"Oh, there's a bunch of girls I want you to meet. C'mon, Phyllis, there's more to be seen yet!"
And the two girls round the corner of the gym and are soon out of sight.

"By their deeds ye shall know them." And who should know a person
better than those who live with him! For that reason the girls who appear
in the feature section of The Quadrangle are chosen by popular vote
of the entire student body. L. C. is small enough for everybody to know
everybody. That makes selection easier; or does it?! So it seems to us.

Thus, the seven superlatives of the college are chosen. Miss LaGrange
College is selected from the senior class; she embodies the true L. C. spirit
of love, loyalty, and labor. From the sophomore, junior, and senior classes
at large, the five girls most outstanding in college activities are named
to appear with Miss LaGrange College and Miss Freshman, who is elected
from the oh, you guess! Miss Freshman represents the embodiment of
all true freshman qualities.

Here they are! We Give you LaGrange College's most representa-

tive girls of 1941.

The

DUNSON
MILLS

LaGRANGE, GEORGIA

Many years ago LaGrange was named by one of her first citizens "The City of Elms and Roses;"
since that time she has also become the City of Cotton Mills; and her residents may justly feel
a pride in either name.

THE DUNSON MILLS lie on the eastern edge of the city, between the Atlanta and West
Point Railroad and the Atlanta Highway, Route 14. Its buildings and the grounds are among
the most attractive in the South today. The main mill building and offices are surrounded by
a wide expanse of velvety lawns, green the year round, and appropriately planted with flower-
ing and evergreen shrubs. The mill building is of red brick with white trim, and has a base
planting of shrubbery. The tenement village has some three hundred houses of three and four-
room types, at all times kept freshly painted white, with green trim. Every home is provided
with electric lights and running water and has ample room surrounding it for flowers and veg-
etable gardens, chickens, and a cow if desired. The City of LaGrange last year erected in our
village a most modern and commodious Grammar School Building for the children in our sec-
tion. The school is equipped with a splendid kitchen and cafeteria, and has a beautiful audi-
torium. The Company operates at its own expense a well-equipped kindergarten for the small
children. The Company also furnishes a two-story brick building for use as a meeting place for
clubs, lodges, and community gatherings.

A full-time graduate nurse is regularly employed by the Company for the welfare of its employ-
ees and their families, and group life insurance at a very low rate is provided for all who
wish it.

The Company a few years ago built two modern brick churches, one of Old English and one
of Colonial design, and besides furnishing light, heat and janitor service for the congregations
using them, also contributes substantially to the support of their resident pastors.

The Dunson Mills extend greetings and good
wishes not only to the LaGrange College
seniors of 1941 but to all the girls on the hill.
