The 1948 Quadrangle Staff

of

LaGrange College
LaGrange, Georgia

invites you on

A Journey

Across The Hill

With Elsie

Contents

From the time you enter the arch at Vernon Street until you pass through the exit on
Broad Street, the ancient oaks, the ivy-covered walls, and the white columns make you con-
scious of the fact that you are in the deep South.

If you pause to listen to the friendly greetings of girls across the campus, the chatter
of the squirrels, the strains of a Beethoven symphony coming from the practice rooms of
Dobbs mingled with a Hit Parade tune from the Rec Room and the ringing of the telephone,
you will know that you are at LaGrange College.

If you meet an average American girl swinging across the campus humming a sorority
song, that will be Elsie, because Elsie is the name given to the typical L. C. girl. Let's stroll
along with her through this year of her journey across the Hill.

Elsie s Guides

Dedication

We Dedicate
Our 1948 Quadrangle
To the Mothers and Daughters of LaGrange College

Inheritors of the spirit and traditions which lead them
doivn her paths of fellowship and knowledge, to retain the best
in the old ways and to seek improvement through the new.

The Hill

Views

Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John stand unchanging as generation after generation
of Elsies make their journey across the Hil !. Though the Elsies may have different faces
and wear different fashions they're really very much alike. They never cease to try to
leap the gold fish pond in Smith Garden, to quake before the line of faculty at the first
reception, to listen with amazement to the story of Sherman's horses in Dobbs base-
ment, or to gaze with awe at the impressive portraits hanging in the library.

To the members of the class of 1948

May I express my deep appreciation of your spirit of fine friendliness
and great faith. My hope for you is that through the years the charm, the
challenge, and the responsibility of life will bring enduring satisfaction.

Sincerely,

HUBERT T. QUILLIAN

Fellow Travelers

These are the people who give Elsie life and meaning.

Each class has made its contribution to her personality.

Each L. C. girl, whether she journeyed with her classmates for a semes-
ter, a year, or four full years, has left a part of herself with those she leaves
behind and has taken away with her a part of all that Elsie stands for.

Such traditions as Rat Day, Turkey-picking, the Junior-Freshman wed-
ding, and the Sophomore-Senior Banquet strengthen the bond of fellowship
between the Senior-Sophomore, and Junior-Freshman classes. Out of the
friendships formed by the selection of "little sisters" from these classes
comes bridesmaids and godmothers.

Destination Happiness

During all of her college years at L. C, Elsie is a member of the Student
Government Association, the Y. W. C. A., and the Athletic Association. She
learns through these organizations to lead, to cooperate, and accept responsi-
bility. Not only is she active on her own campus; but, through deputations
and conferences, she assumes with poise her role in intercollegiate groups.

Student
Government

Senior officers pose in Smith Parlor.

The Student Government Association is based on the Honor System.
With the aid of the Student Council, the Association seeks to uphold those
standards of conduct and scholarship that characterize the highest and best
in a happy college experience. The ideals upon which the Association is based
are set forth in the L. C. girl's creed.

THE L. C. GIRL'S CREED

Life is mine to live. That I may cherist
it

And right royally meet its responsi-
bilities,

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.

"Goodnight, boys," say Robertson, DeFreese, Martin-
dale, and Shouse.

Young Women's Christian Association

Standing: Hudgins, Howard, Shouse, Wainwright, Souter, M. Young, DeF.eese, E. Smith, Price, Miss
Cross. Seated: Carlock, Parks, Barrow, de La Rue, Lane, Merritt.

The Young Woman's Christian Association is a religious organization on "The Hill"
in which every student holds membership. It unites the students in their desire to realize
a full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God.

The regular services of the "Y" include Vespers, a short devotional service held each
evening after supper; Meditation, a period from 10:15 to 10:30 every night, when anyone
may quietly enter the Little Chapel and meditate each in her own way, directed by a worship
center and quiet music; and Morning Watch, held on Sunday mornings after breakfast.
From time to time Sunday afternoon Vesper Rectials are enjoyed by students and townspeople
alike.

Early in the "Y" year, the old and new cabinets spent a weekend of fellowship and plan-
ning at Camp Viola. The new students were welcomed to the college by cordial letters in
the summer and received friendly assistance after their arrival. They became members of
the Association at a candle-lighting service, at which time two freshmen representatives to
the cabinet were installed.

This year the Little Chapel has been graced with a beautiful Wurlitzer organ, given by
Mrs. William Banks and dedicated at the convocation of the college in September.

Outside contacts have been maintained by the visits of Miss Rosalie Oakes of the
regional office of the Y. W. C. A. and Mrs. Chang Shen, a Chinese theological student at
Emory, who launched the World Student Fund drive. Members of the cabinet have attended
local and national "Y" conferences at Camp Salem and at Macon, and the North American
Student Conference on Christian Frontiers in Lawrence, Kansas.

Other activities have included the sending of boxes of food and clothing collected on the
campus to needy French families and four boxes to Poland through C.A.R.E., a successful
W.S.S.F. drive, the Thanksgiving visit of a group "bearing gifts" to the Negro Nursery in
LaGrange, the annual Christmas party in the dining hall for the servants, and the singing of
carols in the college neighborhood the night before Christmas holidays.

All students are given an opportunity to work on committees of their choice and thus
share in planning and carrying out the work of the Association.

"Out of our hearts, shine out of our hearts, Lord Jesus '

Athletic Association

Promotion of physical development, of good
sportsmanship, of interest in sports and a spirit of
friendship among the girls, is the aim of the
Woman's Athletic Association.

The intramural program of sports among the
sororities is an important new project and is doing
much to fulfill these aims.

Stunt Night and the Faculty vs. W.A.A. Coun-
cil Volley Ball Game have been two of the high-
lights of the year.

Membership in the Georgia Athletic Feder-
ation of College Women enables us to keep posted
on all the latest trends and achievements in the
field of athletics.

One of the offsprings of the Woman's Athletic
Association is the "L" Club. This club is composed
of those girls who by dent of determination have kept
these long health months, played tennis, badminton,
shuffleboard, ping pong, and have walked many miles.
They are the ones who have earned the points for that
pretty red "L" and perhaps enough for a star.

Elsies Travelogue

Each year Elsie sits down at her desk, gazes out the window, and chews
thoughtfully on her pencil. She smiles as she records events of the year for
the Quadrangle, or her face bears a pensive expression as she puts her piloso-
phy of Life into words for the Scroll. That same smile will probably cross
Grandmother Elsie's face as she turns the pages of these publications in
reminiscence and a far-away look will come into her eyes as she ponders
what the intervening years have done to her girlhood philosophy.

Quadrangle

In preparing this book, the Quadrangle staff at regular intervals has
invoked the aid of every muse, but they must all have perished with Pan,
for no response came. The members then had to rely on their own initiative
and the helpful suggestions of others.

They hope that they have captured the elusive quality of Elsie and have
recorded so vividly the highlights of this year, that as you turn the pages of
this annual a thousand "remember when's" will descend upon you.

The Scroll is the literary magazine published three times a year by the students
of LaGrange College. Its purpose is to encourage those girls with abilit/ in creative
writing. Short stories, poems, editorials, plays, feature articles, and reviews may be
submitted, and the best are selected for publication.

The highest literary honor awarded on the LaGrange College campus is the "Scroll
of Fame." A group of students, never more than four in number, are chosen each
year by a faculty committee on a basis of outstanding literary contributions during the
year. These students' pictures are mounted in the library.

Pauses for Comradeship

Net all of Elsie's college days are spent in pursuit of knowledge. Sorority
parties, glee club trips, square dances, and play productions add many memo-
ries to her sojourn at L. C. Through all of them the bond of fellowship
with her fellow travelers is drawn closer.

The Curtain Raisers

The Curtain Raisers, a club sponsored by the Speech and Drama Depart-
ment, promotes the development of individual dramatic talent and a genuine
interest in good drama. The organization, under the direction of Miss Irene
E. Arnett, consists of the students who take speech courses and who qualify
for membership at the try-outs.

The opening play this year was MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION, in which
Ena Smith had the leading role. OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY
came second, with Sallie Callaway and Dallis Johnson starred. Other major
productions were DOUBLE DOOR, DEAR RUTH, and the Christmas play,
MARY, HIS MOTHER, which was given with a background of Christmas
music by the Concert Choir. In February, the Curtain Raisers sponsored
the Barter Players from the Barter Theatre in Virginia who presented
TWELFTH NIGHT.

Each Thursday night at 9:30 by the clock and WLAG on the radio dial

Those members of the Curtain Raisers who meet
certain qualifications are invited to become members of
Alpha Psi Omega, a national honorary dramatic fraternity.
Pledges are taken in twice a year, and each new group
is formally initiated at a banquet. This year for the first
time in the history of the chapter, two boys, Buck Shar-
man and Billy Hood were among the pledges.

Concert Choir

The Concert Choir is composed of thirty-five carefully selected and
blended voices under the direction of "Madame," Miss Elizabeth Gilbert.
The choir meets three times a week in preparation for engagements. One of
the important events of the season is the musical program preceding the
Christmas pageant. Each year we give a program of sacred music at the
Methodist Church. We present a concert of secular music on the campus in
the spring. This year we took
a concert tour over a week-end,
singing a program of secular
music at Emory-at-Oxford and
sacred music at three of the
Decatur and Atlanta churches.
This group of singers enjoys
giving concerts in and about
LaGrange.

The Internationa! Relations Club is composed of girls who have a major
or a minor in history or social science or have a keen interest in world affairs.
The purpose of the club is to study national and international affairs of vital
importance. Our programs this year have centered around the current prob-
lems facing the United Nations.

The club is under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for Inter-
national Peace and receives from them current books of importance in the
field of international relations. It is a member of the Georgia Association

a Parsonage, Manse, or Rectory.

Town Girls' Club

Martha Cleaveland, President

Dormitory life for town students is centered in the Town Girls' Room.
It is the scene of many informal and varied discussions which provides the
pause that relieves the tension of work and study. Through friendliness and
understanding among its members, the Town Girls' Club promotes cooper-
ation and harmony between the town girls and resident students at L. C.

A milestone in the life of an L. C. girl is the day that sorority bids are
issued. The anxiety and expectation with which the old girls wait at the post-
office for the "R.S.V.P. by 5:00" of the new girls the exclamations of delight
or the concealed disappointments when those replies are read make it an un-
forgettable day.

The procedure of the day is governed by the Inter-Sorority Council.
Founded in 1927 for the purpose of creating and promoting cooperation, it
is comprised of the sorority presidents and one representative elected from
each sorority.

"To have the best time possible" is
the fitting motto of the Delta Phi
Delta's. Hamburger suppers at Presby-
Dale, banquets at Hansons', parties on
the hill, and a big wek-end in Atlanta
have made this motto a reality.

Founded in 1926 on friendship,
food, and fun, we have carried out
this purpose to our utmost.

We are very proud of our sponsors,

ly into all our activities. You can

Senior Synopsis

Poncy, a town girl, climbed those hundred-odd steps every day and added
a lot to our class. Her ready wit always appeared to cheer us when things
were dull. She has been a member of the Concert Choir three years, and
a member of the International Relations Club for three years. She has held
her merry place in the Town Girl's Club for four years, and has been a loyal
K.T.O. member for four years.

Jane to us is wit and merriment. There is never a moment of dullness when
she is around. When we think of Jane, we think of the I. R. C. and her
splendid work in it. She has been a member four years and served as presi-
dent this year. She was the circulation manager of the SCROLL last year
and she is the business manager this year. Last year Jane was the assistant
advertising manager of the QUADRANGLE and this year she is serving

fellowship in her sorority Delta Phi Delta. Jane is an "0. F."

Helen, the artist in our class, has made a name for herself by her

lines she can draw, dance, and act. She has peen a mem-

Pinching Pennies

Among the ways through which the dimes, quarters, and dollars, so
reluctantly solicited in Elsie's letters home, escape her grasp are clothes,
midnight snacks, movies, the Coffee Shop, dry cleaning, the Bendix washer
with their insatiable appetite for quarters, and postage for letters home to
ask for more funds.

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 approximately planted with flowering and evergreen
shrubs. The mill building is of red brick with white trim, and has a base plant-
ing 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 for 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 gatherings.

A full-time graduate nurse is regularly employed by the Company for the wel-
fare 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 congregations using them, also contribute substantially
to the support of their resident pastors.

The Dunson Mills extend greetings and good
wishes not only to the LaGrange College seniors
of 1948 but to all the girls on the hill.
