The glory of life "on the hill" now only can he overshadowed hy even finer plans for the future. The ideals of LaGrange College today pre- sent much the same challenge and inspiration that faced those persons who turned toward the west a century ago. Here is that same pioneering spirit along with a comparahle call to new opportunities of adventure and service. Here is the same thrill of anticipation and pride of accomplishment. It is hoped that the QUADRANGLE has captured the spirit of this college. May it preserve for you a vivid recollection of life on this hill in 1949. Oh tk ti hill IN MEMORY OF br. Hubert 7 QuiUian PrettfeHt Xa <jtaH$e Cclleqe, I93&-/94& His sparkling wit, his genial friendliness, his penetrating intellect, and his deep spirituality made him the center of life in the La Grange College household. Expres- sions of his ahiding faith and his affectionate esteem for the college its traditions and its ideals served as a recurring inspiration to the faculty, the students, and the friends of his institution. As a speaker he was colorful and intriguing. His comhined abilities as an administra- tor and a spiritual leader marked him a person of rare value. He was characterized by a driving energy and a deep interest in all the things about him. Dr. Quillian's hopes, dreams, and accomplishments remain alive in the hearts of those who knew him and continue to ennoble and enrich the charm, the beauty, and the strength of La Grange College. ft ft 1 DEDICATED TO iHf, CfHeM tfufoeif fiaileij One familiar with truth, at home with goodness, and open-eyed to all opportunities of service is Mr. Bailey. He endears himself to all La Grange College students by his patient understanding and his far-sighted resourcefulness. Each student is conscious of his ever-present inter- est, and his profound wisdom coupled with innate goodness accents the worth of his leadership. Mr. Bailey has been at La Grange College for a quarter of a century. During these many years he has proved his usefulness to the school and has played a vital role in the lives of successive student generations. His influence together with his faith and his trust in the dignity and the worth of the individual student will be remembered for years to come. To Mr. Bailey, dean, registrar, teacher, and friend, with our grateful tribute, we dedi- cate this book. 6 MR. ERNEST AUBREY BAILEY 7 Dr. Waights G. Henry, Jr. came to Ln Grange College as President only last June. Dr. Henry, himself a former trustee of this institution, in his brief tenure of office has displayed a keen insight into the needs of our college. In spile of his many administrative duties, Dr. Henry is able to share the joys and the problems of each individual student. His personality is a unique combination of leadership, scholarship, and Christian stewardship. He is endowed by Heaven with a special sense of humor, and his boundless energy and enthusiasm contribute much to the tradition of La Grange College. It is with a feeling of pride that we of the QUADRANGLE staff present his message to the Senior Class "There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." That was true when the forty-niners of the last century drove their mule-packs and prai- rie-schooners toward the setting sun under the cry of "Westward Ho!" It is true today as the forty-niners of this century explore new territories. Richest rewards come to those who prospect the inner resources of the mind and spirit. The cry of the modern fronti- ersman is "Inward Ho!" The forty-niners of a century ago proved again the unfailing truth in the words: "Where your treasure is, there is your heart also." Men suffered and sacrificed, did and died for "the muck called gold." The new prospectors place heart with treasure, too, where they've heen digging on "the hill" for four years. Class of '49, you've sought and won new knowledge, new vistas, new powers, new virtues, new friends. On every fair and shining coin you've mined and minted here, see that the legend holdly reads: "In God We Trust." The years you've spent at La Grange College will prove the most important years of your life. Now Alma Mater has a sacred meaning for you. Here you have marched from girlhood into womanhood, possessed of composure, charm, and power to think and pray your way through. You are an ahle match for events ahead. of 1949. Sincerely, WAIGHTS G. HENRY, JR. 8 9 At any college the classes form tin- Inundation stpne of the campus life.

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 in my college life may I cultivate Those trais and ideals that will fit me To weave dreams ito realities, and impressions into character. To meet bravely the hard tasks of life; To bring joy to those who falter in their tas 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, who to know is life eternal.

The Student Government Association is based upon the Honor System, which not oidy pertains to the conduct and the social life of the students but to scholastic work as well. With the aid of the student council, the Association seeks to uphold those high standards of living and scholarship that characterize the highest and best in Christian living on our campus. To learn to live honorably and unselfishly in a community and to share in the responsibility of the govern- ment is a part of the broader education for which one conies to college. Each bridge has its rail to prevent even the most careful person from stepping too far to the side and falling into the waters below. So the Student Government Association tries to help each student gain the most and best from college life and uphold those ideals set forth in the L. C. Girl's Creed. 30 The regulations of the Student Government Associa- tion are administered by a council elected by ma- jority vote of the student body. Each student signifies a willingness to uphold the Honor System by signing the following pledge: , upon my honor, do hereby pledge myself to honesty in academic work and in student relations. I promise to cooperate with the com- munity in maintaining high standards of citizen- ship by upholding the Constitution, By-laws, and Regulations of the Student Government Associa- tion. I further promise to help my fellow students to maintain the ideals of this institution by calling her attention to any misconduct on her part. I understand that a plea of ignorance will not ex- cuse my failure to keep this pledge." Above, top: After the Junior-Freshman Wedding!

Representative Kate Howard Cross Faculty Advisor Above: Freshman representatives become members of the "Y" Cabinet; Left to right: Gilstrap, Perkerson, and Summers. The Young Women's Christian Association is the overall student religious organization here on the hill. The "Y" Cabinet is made up of sixteen representative members from various classes and organizations and seeks to carry out the purpose of the "Y" as set forth in its constitution : "We, the members of the Young Women's Christian Association of La Grange College, unite in the desire to realize full and, creative life through a growing knowledge of God. We determine to have a part in making this life possible for all people." 32 Christian fiAMciatfom Seated, first row: Price, Young, Mattox, Shouse, Vineyard, Lane; Second row. Gilstrap, Perkerson, Summers, Davis. Cross, McCIure; Standing: Mell and Howard. To realize full and creative living through a growing knowledge of God is the purpose which the Young Women's Christian Association strives to fulfill in every phase of its work. Members of the "Y" cabinet contact new girls before their arrival in the fall. When she arrives each new girl is greeted by a "Y" sister who helps her meet other students and feel at home on the La Grange campus as soon as possible. The Y. W. C. A. is a campus wide organization and invites every girl to serve through one of its six committees. Throughout the year the "Y" provides for the spiritual needs of the students through periods of worship. The regular services include daily vesper services, periods of meditation each evening, and morning watch on Sundays. The "Y" is not a one-sided organization; for, while it lays proper stress on spiritual needs, it does not overlook the necessity in the life of every student for wholesome fun and entertainment. Early in the year the entire student body is entertained at a party honoring the new students. Informal sings and varied programs of recreation constitute a vital part of the "Y" work. The cultural side of the student's life is remembered as the "Y" plans the year's activities. A number of guest artists are invited to the campus each year to present Sunday afternoon vesper concerts. The ' Y" sees not only the needs of its members but makes the interest of others its own interest. Every year at Chri?tmas a parly is sponsored for the servants on the hill. This year a number of C.A.R.E. packages have been sent to devastated countries, clothing drives have supplied the necessary garments for a needy family in China, and the World Student Service Fund drive has succeeded in getting money to help educate our b r others and sisters in less fortunate countries. Additional traditions and activities of the "Y" include the candlelight recognition service for the new girls, Christmas carolling in the community, responsibility for blessings in the dining hall, and a retreat in the spring for both retiring and incoming cabinets. 33 Above: A.

The W. A. A. seeks to maintain a spirit of friendship among the girls by providing an outlet for their interest in sports. The W. A. A. Council is in charge of activities on Field Day and on May Day, and for the past two years the council has challenged the faculty to a volley ball game which is played in the fall. At the end of the year the council awards the trophies and the letters to the students and the champion teams. These awards are presented at the W. A. A. banquet which marks the climax of a year of fun and work. The work of the council this year brought the "L" Club, the Dance Club, the Tennis Club, and the Archery Chili under the direct supervision of the Women's Athletic Association. This is the first year that these clubs have been fully organized and represented at the W. A. A. council meetings. Left to right: A. Wilson, Morgan, McClure, Robertson. 34 fltkletic faAeciatfoH .

The Dance Club is under the auspices of the Women's Athletic Association, and member- ship in the club is based upon interest and ability as demonstrated in try-outs. For two hours each Thursday night, we meet in the gym, and under the direction of our sponsor, Miss Annette Becker, we spend our time in exercising and modern dancing. This year the members of the Dance Club are responsible for the modern dance at the May Day festivities. Above, outer "L", Cole, Young, Thomason, Wainwright, Reeve, J.

Until this year, to be in the "L" Club was just an honor given a girl who had worked diligently for a letter, and maybe a star. Now it is one of the most active organizations on the hill under the supervision of the Women's Athletic Association. The "L" Club works closely with the W. A. A. in carrying out health month and tournaments listed under minor sports. Archery Club The Archery Club is the youngest organization under the supervision of the Women's Athletic Association. A requirement for membership is to have had one semester of archery in Physical Education. Prospective members must demonstrate interest and ability in try-outs. Archery Club members plan to enter the state archery tournament. Left to right: Shouse, Wheldon, president, MeKinney, Martindale, secretary, M. Wilson, Lathein, Hyde, J.

Assistant Advertising Manager Kay Hodges Circulation Manager Kate Howard Cross and Reaunette Everett Faculty Advisers Carlock and Brown Finished! Well, almost, that is. Yes, the copy of the '49 QUADRANGLE has been dutifully placed on the copy sheets for Bowen, Long, & Young, Inc., and the pictures have been sent to the Wrigley Engraving Company. By this time the ribbon on the typewriter has worn thin as has the patience and the creative ability of the QUADRANGLE staff. But through the maze of confusion gleams the vision of the finished product the QUAD- RANGLE of 1949. In setting up the layout for the production of the annual the staff allots itself two pages. By means of these pages you, the reader, are taken behind the printed matter and given a glimpse of events that made up the work on this production. The calendar year, 1949, brought to mind the historic significance of this year a century ago, and hence the phrase, "There's gold on this hill." In a true pioneering spirit members of the staff began to gather together the information that would portray for you life at this college. We have not attempted to glorify the life at L. C, but rather we have tried to present it in its own right sincerely, simply, genuinely. For long hours the staff members labored to make the QUADRANGLE what it should be. The busi- ness staff looked far and near for ad prospects and closely scrutinized the budget to see that the bills could be paid. The literary staff forgot all sleeping habits and worked early and late in the attempt to develop the theme and complete the copy. The Business Staff Hodges, Taft, and Marler 38 0$ the '49 Quadrangle You will find in this issue some additional features uncommon to past editions of the QUADRANGLE. In the back of this book is a view section which we hope will typify for you the traditional events that take place in the scholastic year. Also you will find a complete personnel directory of the faculty and the student body. In a production such as this it is but natural that suggestions from persons not on the staff should come to the attention of the staff members. For these we are sincerely grateful. There are certain specific helps that we feel should be acknowledged. First and foremost, the staff is especially grateful to the faculty advisors to Miss Cross for her suggestions and for proofreading and to Miss Everett for her ever-present sympathetic under- standing and wise counsel concerning the many problems faced by the staff. To "Fat" Johnson for his faithful work as photographer the QUADRANGLE staff says. "Thank you. ' We extend our sincere appreciation to Miss Clarissa Poteat and Mr. John Long for their tireless labors together with a personal interest not required by professional service. Too, we thank Dr. Waights Henry for his many suggestions and his unfailing willingness to cooperate with the staff. Staff members value the confidence placed in them by the faculty and the student body of the college. Only through the cooperation of all the college people was the production of the annual possible. The editor is indebted to the makers of Maxwell House Coffee for the ability to stay awake until the wee hours of the morning. A like indebtedness is due the residents of the first floor of Pitts for enduring the constant noise of the typewriter and for tolerating the temperamental onslaughts of staff members as the time drew near to turn in the copy. It has been a lot of fun working on the '49 QUADRANGLE. We hope that you will turn through the pages of this book many times and that your memories of this year at La Grange may be kept alive for all the days to come.

Faculty Advisor The Scroll is the literary magazine published three times each year by the students of La Grange College mechanically aided by the Martin-Johnson Printing Company. The staff for such a publication is necessarily small, and if it were not for the contributions of the members of the student body the success of this publication would be impossible. One of the most interesting features of this slick-paper magazine is the letter from Elsie a typical L. C. girl. Elsie's comments on life at the college bring constant delight to the readers and also the perennial inquiry to the editor. "Who is Elsie?" However, the editor conscientiously guards her secret and maintains the reader's aroused curiosity with each successive issue. The Literary Staff Seated: Garrett, Epps, Harris; Standing : B.

Few, if any, of these students may ever achieve that adequacy of expression which is the essence of true literary art. Nevertheless. The Scroll provides an outlet for that universal, human desire to share with others our thoughts, experiences, and emotions. Each year a group of students, never more than four in number, is chosen for the Scroll of Fame. Selected for their demonstrated ability in creative writing, these students have their pictures enshrined in perpetuity in the librarv. The members of The Scroll staff enjoy presenting to others their fellow students" "brain children"' be they stories, essays, editorials, or poems. The staffs greatest problem is persuading the modest genuises of the cam- pus to submit their masterpieces for publication, Eternal is the plea to each of you. "Only to write what in your heart began." II From the very first day the new girl arrives at college, she looks forward with anxiety and expectation to the issuing of sorority bids. Each succes- sive year the old girls await this day with a similar feeling of anxiety. Excitement reigns supreme throughout the days of sorority rush week and culminates in general confusion on the day the bids are sent. The procedure of this memorable day is governed by the Inter-Sorority Council. This organization was founded in 1927 for the purpose of creat- ing and promoting cooperation and good will among all the sororities on the hill. The council is comprised of the presidents and one repre- senative from each of the sororities. 42 Alpha Happa fketa A.K.. slrap, Sh Bennett members before the hillbilly tea heft to right: Gil- ouse, Kesler, Carloek, M.

There are numerous interest groups on the c with which students are invited to affiliate. These interest groups opportunity for the development of special interests and abilities. It is but natural that special interests should arise within par fields of study or along particular lines of ability. These organizati designed to meet the needs of all of the students both within and without the special field considered.

Sharing the lead in this play were Crover Waller, Jr. and Sara Franees Brown. Children east in this play included Mary Melson, Waights Henry, Jr., and George Henry. Barretts of Wimpole Street was presented Decem- ber tenth. Mary Martindale, as Elizabeth Barrett, played the role with just magnificence to the poetess. Pittman Davis was cast as Barrett and Kenneth Brumbeloe as Browning. The costumes in this play were the same as those used in the original production starring Katherine Cornell. High acclaim goes to Virginia Summerville for her performance in Dark Victory. In December the Christmas play was one of the campus highlights. Laboratory readings were pre- sented at the various civic clubs by the younger members of the Curtain Raisers. Later in the sea- son, the Barter Players of Virginia, under the sponsorship of the Curtain Raisers, presented Hamlet. This presentation drew crowds from La Grange and surrounding cities. Senior speech majors presented their senior re- citals in March and April. Victor Hugo's great Let Miserables was given by Virginia Summerville. Mary Martindale presented the Greek tragedy, Medea. Miriam Lowe gave the lovely, romantic Smiling Through as a dedication to the late Dr. Hubert T. Quillian. Scheduled as a main-stage production was Glass Menagerie. Under the supervision of Miss Irene E. Arnett, several plays were student directed. The La Grange College Radio Theatre presented by the Curtain Raisers over Station WLAG-FM de- lighted its listeners each Tuesday evening. Its student director was Miriam Lowe. Behind the footlights, behind the radio micro- phone, and backstage, this has been a busy season for the Curtain Raisers but the show must go on!

Christian living on the campus that we might live and grow as sisters of the Christ this is the purpose of the Christadelphian Club." The L. C. religion majors organized the Christadelphian Club in February of 1947. In this second year of existence the club's projects have added much to the spirituality of the college and the city. These projects include monthly chapel programs, work in the Orchard Hill community, and regular, voluntary service in six La Grange churches.

The Horatian Club is composed of students majoring in biology or chemistry and others exhibiting exceptional interest in the scientific field. Its membership is limited to fifteen persons exclusive of faculty advisors. The pledges must maintain a minimum grade average of 87 in science courses for one semester before being admitted to full membership.

International Relations Clubs in the United States are under the sponsorship of the Carnegie Endowment for World Peace. The La Grange I.R.C. is affiliated with Rotary International and the Collegiate Council of the United Nations. Through the latter organization we sponsored the observation of United Nations Week on the campus at which time distinguished guest speakers were featured.

The club is composed of the girls whose major is home economics and other girls who are interested in home economics. A major in home conomics prepares one for a career which will give her security in the business world, but most of all it prepares her for the most coveted position . that of a real homemaker. This year the girls with Mrs. Murray have sponsored a program of organ music. Also they had the annual Christmas bazaar, assisted with various teas, gave several demonstrations and programs for civic groups, and sold Easter lilies.

The choir meets four times a week in preparation for engagements. The highlight of the year was the presentation of Handel's Messiah, given at the Christmas season by the Chapel Choir together with the Emory-at-Oxford Glee Club. Each year we give a sacred concert at the First Methodist Church, and in the Spring we present a secular concert on the campus. The president of the Chapel Choir is Sara DeFreese, the vice-president is Eleanor Perryman. the secretary is Beatrice Garrett, and the treasurer is Mary Taft. The Quartet is a group of singers frequently called upon for both sacred and secular music by civic clubs, churches, and campus organiza- tions.

It is the purpose of this club to unite its own members and at the same time to bring about closer cooperation and harmony with the resident students at the college. By the promotion of understanding and friendliness among its members this purpose becomes a reality, and an otherwise impossible unity of spirit is achieved. ftleh ch the Campus Yes, men are on the campus as students. For the first time in many years the doors of the college classrooms have been opened to men. Though it is a bit late, perhaps a word of welcome to this group from the QUADRANGLE staff will not be out of place. We are happy indeed that they have come to our campus as students, and we hope that this page may become a permanent fixture in future productions of the QUADRANGLE. The coming of men as students to the L. C. campus constitutes a step forward in the growth of the college. As they take their places in the classrooms and in the student organizations the college spirit and the college tradition will expand to include them. We hope they are glad to be here. We're happy to have them with us. (.1 ifletkcdtit Student fttcteineht Emily Price President Sara DeFreese Vice-President Carolyn Thomason Secretary Frances Moody ....

It helps provide for the spiritual needs of the students on the campus, renders service to the local Methodist churches, and promotes world friendship. The primary aim of the M. S. M. this year has been to help the students know more about this organization and its functions, and thereby to become more interested. Much was contributed toward this aim by the Georgia Methodist Student Conference which convened on the L. C. campus this year. Chapel programs have been given and other forms of publicity have been used to accomplish this aim. At Thanksgiving the M. S. M. sponsored a food and clothing drive for the Old Folks' Home for Negroes here in La Grange. Other drives sponsored during the year were a clothing drive for our sister college in Tokyo. Japan, and a drive for Paine College in Augusta. Georgia. The M. S. M. exchanged deputations with several colleges. It has been a busy year for the Methodist Student Movement. The M. S. M.

The purpose of Who's Who is to serve as an incentive for students to get the most out of their college careers; as a means of compensation to students for what they have already done; and as a recommendation to the business world. It is a means of national recognition devoid of politics, fees, and dues. The La Grange College selection is made by the faculty, and the choice is based on character, scholarship, leader- ship, extra-curricula activities, and possibility of future usefulness to business and society. Shouse HONORS CLUB The honors club system was established in 1924. Eligibility is conditioned upon the literary hours taken and the academic standing of the student. Members are elected each year upon recommendation of the faculty. The Fine Arts Honors Club and the Secretarial Science Honors Club were established to give recognition to students of outstanding ability in music, art, speech, and secretarial science. In 1948 the college decided to recognize the members of the Honors Club by awarding a key. On this key are the Greek letters AN signifying Alpha Nu. Those who qualified for membership in the Honors Club in 1948-49 are Jeannine Brown, Virginia Carlock, Cebe Gilstrap, Grace Hadaway, Pauline Lane, Maxine IN ail, Emily Price, and Martha Young. Wyndy Vineyard was named for membership in the Secretarial Science Honors Club. Election to these clubs is the highest distinction that can be conferred on a student. Such awards are made on Honors Day, at which time a distinguished speaker is the guest of the college. Brown Lane Carlock Nail Gilstrap Price Hadaway Young 73 August 25, 1948 THE Septem- .

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 planting of shrubbery. The tene- ment 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 now operates 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 cafe- teria, 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 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 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 19 U9 but to all the girls on the hill. 89 HUIE-DOBBS CHEVROLET COMPANY LaGrange, Georgia The DIXIE COTTON MILLS LaGrange, Georgia The Cittf erf iafyawqe Compliments of PARKER FURNITURE COMPANY W.
