V The 1948 Quadrangle Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2014 https://archive.org/details/quadrangle1948lagr 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.

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.

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. J. n i i V/ Fl : C> l.:J C :iU J_ I - D..~ \A/.II,~. DU<- 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.

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.

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.

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 First row: Perryman, Bryan, Warren, McKinney, S. Brown, Summerville, Miss Arnett. Second row: Morgan, Lowe, Martindale, Pope, Price, Smith, Fleming. Standing: Ouzts, Garrett, Merritt, Lane, K. Walker, Parks, B. Young. 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 has brought the LaGrange College Radio Theatre to many listening ears.

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. Officers Jacqueline de La Rue President Elese Traylor Vice-President Emily Price Secretary Eleanor Perryman Treasurer Members of the Sextet are DeFreese, de La Rue, Garrett, Foster, Parks, and Perryman. The Sextet is a group of singers frequently called upon for both sacred and secular music by Civic organizations, churches, and campus affairs. Art Club The aim of the Art Club is to build by creation, using not only the ele- ments of art, but wholesome fun as well. Exhibits, sketching trips, research trips, and parties find their place in the activities of the club. They give their sponsor, Miss Everett, their appreciation for her interest and activity.

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 of International Relations Clubs and also of the Southeastern Association. Kiwana-Q Club Officers Martha Rainey, President Anna Corry, Vice-Pres. Sue Rainey, Secretary Kay Hodges, Treasurer The club stresses social poise as well as the need to know how to sew a fine seam. The Kiwana-Q Club was organized in the fall of 1944 and so named to honor the President, Dr. Qui Mian, and the local Kiwanis Club who have spon- sored the equipping of the Home Economics Laboratory. The aim of the club is to further the interest in all phases of home making, as well as to promote friendship and leadership among all home economics students. Members of the club are M. Rainey, A. Wilson, Rogers, C. Smith, S. Rainey, Hodges, Hasson, Graham, and Bowman. Mrs. Murray is the advisor for the group. [I*illiiiin AHiiiinili The Horatian Club Officers Eloise White . . .

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. Enjoying one of their confabs in the Town Girls' Room are: Dunaway, Clements, Marler, Coch ran, Tatum, M. E. Smith, Harmon, Rogers, Poore, and Hill. 0. F.

Each year not more than ten freshmen are invited to join those girls in the other classes who were selected as msmbers during their freshman year. Inter-Sorority Council Officers President, Colleen Ouzts Colleen Ouzts Barbara Crittenden Marga.-et Alton Sara DeFreese Jane Hart Eleanor Hendrix Eloise White Ann Blakely 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. Members of the council enjoying a Delta Phi version of Chop Sticks. Kappa Phi Delta "We are the girls of old Kappa Phi" that's a tune all our members are proud to sing!

"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, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Day and Mr. Thomas John, who enter wholehearted- ly into all our activities.

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 as the associate editor. With her responsibility, she has mixed fun and fellowship in her sorority Delta Phi Delta. Jane is an "0. F." Cat came to us from See Bennett college and entered at once into L. C. activities.

She was president of the Methodist Student Movement two years, vice-president of the Kappa Phi's her Senior year. Her name was placed on the Scroll of Fame in 1947 in recognition of her wo.k which appeared in the SCROLL. Helen, the artist in our class, has made a name for herself by her art work and her writings. One of her pintings was shown in the Student Art Exhibition at Athens in 1948, and poems of hers have appea ed in the NATIONAL ANTHOLOGY OF COLLEGE POETRY for the last three years. She has been an officer of the Art Club for three years, a member of the Curtain Raisers, and a member of Alpha Psi Omega. She served as art editor for the SCROLL her Junior year and for the QUADRANGLE her Senior year. She has been a member of the Chapel Choir and Concert Choir, International Relations Club, publicity chairman for the Y.W.C.A.; and she has represented the class on the Student Government two years. A faithful A.K.O., she added an artistic touch to their rush pa ties. Fannie Mae, being a versatile person, has taken part in many organizations on the Hill. Her main love is d a- matics and she has been in the Curtain Raisers four years, and a member of Alpha Psi Omega two years, se:ving as vice-president her Junior year. She has been in the Chapel Choir, the Concert Choir, a Chorister, and a Sextette mem- ber one year. She has served as secreta y of Christadel- phians, circulation manager for the SCROLL, and as recreation chirman of the Y.W.C.A.. She has been a mem- ber of the Dance Club, W.A.A. council, and the K.T.O. sorority. All these things kept her on the go but she managed to do her job well in each club. Sally is one of those lucky people talented along several lines she can draw, dance, and act. She has peen a mem- ber of the Curtain Raisers four years and served as secretary this year. She was taken into Alpha Psi during her second year and served as president this year. She has been a member of the Home Ec. Club, the Art Club, the Dance Club, and has held the office of secre- tary in the latter. She was always called on at May Day to do a dance or two because she is especially talented along that line.

QUILL I AN, President LaGRANGE COLLEGE 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. I I 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. Foster Plumbing & Heating Co.
