MEMORIES OF THE CLASS OF '44
If you had chanced upon the L. C. Quad-
rangle on September 7, 1940, you would

have found many a lowly
freshman groping her way
into the halls of her new
Alma Mater. We were
FRESHMEN from the tops
of our new permanents to
the tips of our clean saddle
shoes.

At first we marveled at
the friendliness of the upperclassmen espec-
ially the sophomores! Oh, those lovely girls!!!

But there came a time (3 a. m., it was)

when we wondered how anything this side of
a concentration camp could be so gruesome.

We bowed and scraped and recited and
apologized, and then bowed and scraped some
more . . .

Why, they couldn't do this to us. We were
tax - paying, law - abiding citizens! Why,
we'd . . .

But all our threats came to naught, for
after initiation we forgot our persecution, and
began to regain a small portion of our self-
confidence.

The juniors then adopted us, and mysterious
gifts began to pop up most
unexpectedly. How won-
derful to learn your sister's
identity and appreciate her
even more.

Our first college graduation left us in awe.
We said tearful goodbyes to our classmates,
and realized suddenly that we were no longer
college freshman. We were
the most angelic of sopho-
mores. No, we wouldn't
treat the freshmen as we
had been treated . . .

The sophomore year
dawned, and we sophs con-
descended to meet the
freshmen, and give them the benefit of our
experience as college students. Initiation
proved to be much harder on us than on the
freshmen. The sea food was especially trying.

Came December and war! We skipped
lunch to hear the President's message to Con-
gress. We began First Aid courses, and we
spent hours swathing our friends
in bandages.

It was even harder to say good-
bye to our friends this year. Our
sister class was graduating, and
we really hated to see them go.
When they took their tables we
gave them a supper banquet, and lots of
money, too. And, oh, the tears we shed on
Graduation Day.

Our junior year gave us added responsibil-
ity, and perhaps a shade of dignity. Many of
our classmates had not returned, and we missed
them deeply.

We acquired freshmen sisters, and tried to
shelter them from the evils which had befallen
us. We lived in Residence Hall (later named
Pitts) and we spent most of our time taking
showers, and bouncing on our luscious beds.

Classes became more difficult, and we chose
our major subjects. No more changing of
minds now

We began to realize too that our college
days were half gone. Junior privileges seemed
grand, but we found that we had very little
time to use them.

As the days passed, we began to realize,
also, that we must soon assume the leadership
of all campus activities. We were flattered,
but very frightened also. We recalled how
we, as freshmen, had admired and respected
the seniors, and we
wondered if we
could ever be good
examples to our
younger classmates.

The first week of our senior year was
a jumble of disappointment, happiness, prep-
aration and surprise. We scoured the city for
caps and gowns. We were forced to tell the
new students that we were seniors! They
thought we were freshmen! !

The first Sunday morning we donned our
black academic attire and
marched in to church. We felt
all eyes upon us; and we sin-
cerely hoped everyone would
know from that day forward
that we were seniors!
Classes crashed down upon us as never be-
fore, and we spent endless hours reading
parallel. The line of the campus was: "If any-
one wants me, I'm in the library."

We attended initiation in a group and our
sentiments were divided between the poor
frosh and our sister sophs. Oh, the responsi-
bility of being a senior.

Christmas holidays and then exams, and we
settled down to our last semester of college.
Our senior privileges did us little good; for we
had little time, and there was a definite man-
power shortage. We went on a money-

SENIOR STORE

making campaign and
derived the name of
"Bologna Queens" for
the tons of sandwiches
we sold.

With spring came
comprehensives and
recitals. The grand
recitals showed every-
one what we had
known all the time
that we had the most
talented class ever.
(We aren't a bit con-
ceited.)

The last two weeks of school were busy
ones for us. We divided our time between
exams, parties, and a general good time. Grad-
uation gifts made the mail call especially ex-

post oppice citin S- And we

donned our caps

and gowns doz-
ens of times
"just to see how
they looked."

Commence-
ment Sunday
gave us our first
taste of the
great occasion; and we had already been made
members of the Alumnae Association.

At midnight we sang our goodbyes to
our beloved classmates and we felt as if we
couldn't possibly leave them.

The great day dawned. Our graduation day.
The day that we'd waited and worked for.
We put on our robes for the final ceremony,
and with it acquired a dignity which we had
not thought possible.

Clutching our diplomas we
walked out of Dobbs to re-
ceive the congratulations of
our friends and parents.

We glanced toward Smith
and remembered the first
time we ever saw it; and
through our minds passed
the many memories of
the Class of '44.

ANNUAL PUBLICATION OF LAGRANGE COLLEGE, LAGRANGE, GA.

The Editor and Business
Manager Talk It Over . . .

We have not tried to unify this book with an elaborate theme; we have
chosen rather to give you a sketch of life at L. C. There is something
about our school; it is difficult to put into words. We feel it in our
hearts. It is this spirit that we are seeking to express.

There is something that binds us together; maybe it's friendship;
maybe it's ideals; maybe it's inspiration, or maybe it's just LaGrange
College.

Paula Copeland, Editor
Pellie Jones, Business Manager.

To JAMES BAILEY BLANKS

For his sympathetic concern for us and our problems

For his ability to make us see the brighter side of life

For his loyalty and devotion to LaGrange College and to all that

she stands for
We dedicate this our 1944 Quadrangle.

HYMN TO LAGRANGE

We raise a voice to you, LaGrange,

We'll sing thy praises ever;
Though we may never from thy halls

A century's secrets sever.
Thy name we'll sing in endless praise,

High on thy hill acclaim,
A symbol to us of wisdom sought

Fore'er in our hearts remain.

Glory shall echo through thy halls

And to our hearts return;
And when our college days are o'er,

Deep in our memory burn.
Thy glory shall we spread abroad,

A tribute would we pay;

Thy spirit that is our heritage

Shall live in our hearts for aye.

Marian Williams, '44.

MISS MAIDEE

"Behold the faithfulness of this one who has gone from us for a
while. Whether it was assuming duties within the family circle of
being a foster-mother, or witnessing in a foreign land for the Master
whom she served or teaching in our beloved College, or praying and
working silently with a few friends for a cause she believed to be
right and just, or walking alone among the shadows of suffering in a
fatal illness genuine faithfulness to God was the center around which
all other things were arranged in their true proportion."

Rev. Charles S. Forester.

HUBERT T. QUILLIAN

May I assume the role of an arm-chair strategist and proudly
predict "Victory for '44." This is the theme of our thinking,
Victory for You "you who have come tip through great trib-
ulation and now stand forth radiant" in this shining hour of
your college career. Just as in Havana, Cuba, there is a mag-
nificent diamond embedded in the marble floor in the rotunda
of the capitol under the dome, from which all the highways
across the island are measured; so, in a real sense, all the future
begins from here, in this hour and place in which you stand
today. Victory involves vision and valor and virtue vision
of a new heaven and a new earth, valor that courageously car-
ries on until that vision becomes living reality, and virtue,
that is, goodwill converting the knowledge that is power into
service for all mankind. "The world is forever new to hands
that keep it new."

Yours for Victory for '44,

The Student Government Association is the symbol for the democratic ideal of stu-
dent life on the campus. Every student is a member of the Association, and with the
aid of the Student Council seek to uphold those high standards of living and scholarship
on the campus that characterize the highest and best in Christian living.

First and foremost in importance is the orientation of freshmen in the fall. The
Junior-Freshman Wedding and the signing of pledges is the formal ceremony giving
new students full membership. This year the Association made the first contribution
from the student body as an organization or as individuals to the endowment fund.

The Student Government seeks to help the student in every way. Our aim is to be
a friend in the truest sense of the word to make honor, truth, cooperation, and serv-
ice the byword of not only our college days but our future lives.

The Y. W. C. A. is a voluntary religious movement which encourages Christian youth in spiritual
and social growth. It is the purpose of this organization to increase awareness among our student
group and to place special emphasis upon creative living in which students find their best and truest
service.

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION

Week-day vesper services are conducted by the students. In addition there is morning watch each
Sunday, and twice monthly there are Sunday Vesper Recitals presented by local artists and students.
These recitals are attended by the people of LaGrange as well as by students.

During the first week of school the nightly vesper services were conducted by the major organiza-
tions on the campus to acquaint the new students with some of our activities. In arranging the other
vesper services the Methodist Student Movement, the Baptist Student Union, the Freshman Commission
and the program chairman of the Y. W. C. A. have cooperated.

The Freshman Commission is a division of the Y., and was organized several years ago to give inter-
ested new students experience in the work of the Y. Vivian Smith, the Freshman Representative to the
Cabinet, is chairman of the group. The other members are Betty Wright, Mary Alice Adams, and
Marion Middlebrooks.

The Candle-light Recognition Service in which all new resident students became members was held
in Dobbs Auditorium in October. Religious Emphasis Week was in November and was conducted by
Mr. Chester W. Quimby. During this month, too, a very successful campaign in behalf of the World
Student Service Fund was conducted. All classes contributed money they had obtained by various
projects.

At Thanksgiving, baskets of groceries were given to several needy families of LaGrange. One of
the highlights of every year is the Christmas party given for the servant force. There was a Christmas
tree, and a program was presented by the servant force.

Delegates were sent to the summer Y. W. C. A. Conference held this year at Berea College in Berea,
Kentucky.

There has been a wonderful spirit of cooperation and helpfulness on the part of the students and fac-
ulty as a whole in response to any request for assistance in this work. Much interest has been mani-
fested in the service of worship and all have been well attended.

The International Relations Club has as its purpose the study and discussion of
history as it is daily being made in national and international events, events that are
vitally important both to the present and to the future. The desire of the club is to
seek a thoughtful and intelligent interpretation of modern affairs. The club is com-
posed 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.

RELATIONS CLUB

The club is under the auspices of
the Carnegie Endowment for Interna-
tional Peace Organization from which
it receives annually eight to sixteen
books of current interest in the po-

There is, in all of us, a touch of the spirit of adventure; whether it be exploring
the wonders of nature, delving into the mysteries of science, or merely traveling up and
down about the country. The publishing of the 1944 Quadrangle was a direct chal-
lenge to our spirit of adventure. To us it was an opportunity to portray LaGrange
College at its truest and best.

Perhaps you are familiar with the trials and tribulations of the staff of a college
annual. Or, perhaps, as a mere onlooker, you regard the work as either drudgery or
child's play.

I do not mean to be personal, but may we tell you what it means to us from our
extremely prejudiced viewpoint.

To begin with, we've loved planning the Quadrangle. To us it was a mass of ideas,
secrets, pictures, and words which must be organized. By and large, it was an enormous
undertaking.

Sara and Dot went ad-collecting; and, as a result of their charm and our reputation,
they came back loaded with ads. They entrusted Pellie with the money; and under
her brilliant management the Quadrangle had money to burn! Libba and Buddy spent
endless hours trying to think up nice things to say about the seniors. And Beth got
in everybody's hair by snapping the most candid shots with her giant camera. Marion
threw together some drawings for the front of the book. And Martha hit a new high
in speedy circulation of our precious volume. And I think Paula established residence
in the Quadrangle room. But what a grand job she did over there!

We hope you like the 1944 Quadrangle as much as we've liked planning it for you.
By and large, we've loved it!

For many years the "Town Girls' Room" has been the center of fun and activity. This year has been
no exception, for with the newly decorated room, the town girls have been more active than ever. There
is never a dull moment, as any faculty member in Hawkes can tell you we apologize. The purpose
of the T. G.s' is an important one and should not be overlooked. It is: "To promote closer coopera-
tion and harmony among L. C. town girls and the students on "The Hill."

various organizations within the church, as well as the church as a whole. It keeps
before the student the objectives and activities of the church.

ART CLUB

Art in Everyday Life has a particular significance. It implies the belief that art may be so much a part
of our everyday living that it will help us do more beautifully the simple homely things of life as well
as the more unusual. As we surround ourselves with beauty, art actually becomes a part of our life
and personality; not to be set apart for occasional enjoyment, but rather to be sought and enjoyed in
everything we do.

Blanton

Through its monthly meetings, the Art Club develops an appre-
ciation of art in its members. The members have focused their atten-
tion on Contemporary American art and the lives of American paint-
ers. The club sponsors exhibits of art schools which are open to the
public and thus arouses attention and interest of the townspeople in
American art. Mrs. Williams is our sponsor and has helped to make
the club the success it is.

To carry out its purpose, the promotion of inter-

side of the individual, the Athletic Association has
arranged a physical education program adequate to
meet the needs of all the LC students.

Membership in the Georgia Athletic Federation
of College Women assures the organization of latest
trends of interest in athletics and the major prob-
lems confronting the athletic departments of the
colleges of Georgia.

Our main attraction this year was dance recital,
"Terpsichoria," presented by the junior and senior
dance clubs under the direction of Miss Mac.

We are proud of our "L" Club this year because it is larger than ever before.
The "L" Club is composed of those girls who have received their college letters.
Letters are awarded on the basis of a point system and points may be acquired by
making a college team, practicing a certain number of hours, participation in field
day, and by keeping health month.

The girls who make the "L" Club should receive the highest tribute. It is not
just the letter that a girl receives, but those numerous 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 character that a girl has to
display if she earnestly desires a letter.

This year's tennis tournament was the
best in many years we give you the Ten-
nis Champion, "Twink" Starr, and the run-
ner-up, Betty Lewis.

STARR and LEWIS

These sophomores have always
had a good soccer team, and hear
they show us just how they ac-
quired that skill practice.

for tumbling; here we see them in

Tennis has really been a favorite
sport on our campus this year. We
caught these four beauties on their
way to the tennis court. By the
way, they are all Juniors.

These freshmen are wicked volley
ball players. We are really going to watch
them field day because the way they look
now they are going to be walking away with
plenty of honors.

Miss Mac is a marvelous swimming in-
structor and, as you can see, the girls have
really gone in for it; LC just can't be beat
for beautiful girls.

Yep, the Seniors are still at it and from
the looks of things, they are "in there

OUR SUPERLATIVES

And they are just that ; chosen by popular vote, these girls
are the ones who we think most nearly represent the true spirit
of LaGrange College.

We think of our L. C. spirit as being made up of love, loy-
alty, service, and sacrifice. According to these qualities we
chose from the senior class our Miss LaGrange College.

Campus activities mean much to L. C. girls. Each year we
select the five who are most outstanding in these activities.
They come from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes at
large.

Our Miss Freshman possesses the qualities and characteristics
which we ascribe to an ideal freshman.

Here they are now see if you don't agree with us that they
are truly superlative.

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 flowering 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 vegetable 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 lor the children in our section. The school is equipped with a splendid
kitchen and cafeteria, and has a beautiful auditorium. 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
gat he-rings.

A full-time graduate nurse is regularly employed by the Company for the welfare of its
employees 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 con-
gregations 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 1944 but to all the girls on the hill.

D t

The charm of the old is happily blended with the challenge of the new in the atmosphere
of Christian culture at LaGrange College; with modern and comfortable residence halls,
excellent courses in domestic, commercial, and fine arts, and a standard curriculum leading
to the Bachelor of Arts degree. Expenses moderate.

MEMORIES OF THE CLASS OF '44
If you had chanced upon the L. C. Quad-
rangle on September 7, 1940, you would

have found many a lowly
freshman groping her way
into the halls of her new
Alma Mater. We were
FRESHMEN from the tops
of our new permanents to
the tips of our clean saddle
shoes.

At first we marveled at
the friendliness of the upperclassmen espec-
ially the sophomores! Oh, those lovely girls!!!

But there came a time (3 a. m., it was)

when we wondered how anything this side of
a concentration camp could be so gruesome.

We bowed and scraped and recited and
apologized, and then bowed and scraped some
more . . .

Why, they couldn't do this to us. We were
tax - paying, law - abiding citizens! Why,
we'd . . .

But all our threats came to naught, for
after initiation we forgot our persecution, and
began to regain a small portion of our self-
confidence.

The juniors then adopted us, and mysterious
gifts began to pop up most
unexpectedly. How won-
derful to learn your sister'
identity and appreciate
even more.

Came December and war! We skipped
lunch to hear the President's message to Con-
gress. We began First Aid courses, and we
spent hours swathing our friends
in bandages.

Our junior year gave us added responsibil-
ity, and perhaps a shade of dignity. Many of
our classmates had not returned, and we missed
them deeply.

Classes became more difficult, and we chose
our major subjects. No more changing of
minds now

We began to realize too that our college
days were half gone. Junior privileges seemed
grand, but we found that we had very little
time to use them.

We attended initiation in a group and our
sentiments were divided between the poor
frosh and our sister sophs. Oh, the responsi-
bility of being a senior.

SENIOR STORE

making campaign and
derived the name of
"Bologna Queens" for
the tons of sandwiches
we sold.

With spring came
comprehensives and
recitals. The grand
recitals showed every-
one what we had
known all the time
that we had the most
talented class ever.
(We aren't a bit con-
ceited.)

The last two weeks of school were busy
ones for us. We divided our time between
exams, parties, and a general good time. Grad-
uation gifts made the mail call especially ex-

post op Pice citin S- And we

donned our caps

and gowns doz-
ens of times
"just to see how
they looked."

C o m m ence-
ment Sunday
gave us our first
taste of the
great occasion; and we had already been made
members of the Alumnae Association.

At midnight we sang our goodbyes to
our beloved classmates and we felt as if we
couldn't possibly leave them.

The great day dawned. Our graduation day.
The day that we'd waited and worked for.
We put on our robes for the final ceremony,
and with it acquired a dignity which we had
not thought possible.

Clutching our diplomas we
walked out of Dobbs to re-
ceive the congratulations of
our friends and parents.

We glanced toward Smith
and remembered the first
time we ever saw it; and
through our minds passed
the many memories of
the Class of '44.
