Preface

Life is a journey and not a destination-an
eternal journey in which hereafter there will
always be something to beckon us on. It is a time
of reaching out for happiness, understanding
friendship, truth, knowledge, peace, and love; so
while on life's journey we at LaGrange College
are reaching out to those qualities. It is with this
thought in mind that I have chosen for the theme
of this 1981 Quadrangle

LC is the Place to

Friendship is characterized by common inter-
ests and it is founded on a common devotion to
causes. Friendship makes man human and life worth
living. Friends share the same jokes, support each
other, and in many ways define themselves as
different from the rest of the world because they
share about the same truths.

Happiness is a process and a direction we can achieve. It is an enrichment. Happiness
is a feeling of fulfillment coming from being and doing well. It is being content with your
life and knowing that you have contributed to others.

THE PLACE FOR EXCITEMENT

Excitement is a free feeling of warmth, good times, and getting involved into new
discoveries. It is a feeling that is easily expressed

BUILDING AT LAGRANGE

LaGrange is the place for construction. This is the future new Student
Center. Everyone is awaiting when it will be completed.

THE PLACE
FOR PEACE,
LOVE,
AND

UNDERSTANDING

Peace, Love, and Understanding are all constructs needed in our society. Peace is
seeing the sunset and knowing who to thank. When understanding develops, hate
disappears. Love is a friendship that has caught on fire. It is mark by security and trust.
It lifts you up. Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection.
It is real. Love takes root and grows-one day at a time. Most of all, Love is giving of
yourself, not material things.

All of these qualities mentioned are found at LaGrange College. Through
happiness we find understanding and when we understand the needs of
another person, we achieve friendship. To establish a long and strong
friendship we need peace and truth. With peace and truth we can reach
out to love. Love can only be achieved through inner peace. These things
bring about fun, action, and new discoveries . . . the only place to receive
them is at LaGrange College.

We've Come A Long Way

Homecoming

For the second consecutive year, the weather proved unco-operative for the annual
Homecoming festivities. But the Homecoming theme "We come've A Long Way" was not hampered
by the foggy and rainy day. Students had worked throughout the week constructing floats, getting
ready for the big day.

Thirty-seven girls were vying for the title of Miss Homecoming Queen. The excitement was
nervous for all, even until the announcement and crowning of that lucky lady. Only a week before
the day of the crowning of the girl who would reign over the Homecoming festivities, the campus
was in an uproar. The judges had made their decisions. The Homecoming parade was a parade
of cities with the court representing towns from all over Georgia, Alabama, and also a few northern
cities. The people lining the streets saw colorful floats, decorated cars, and a whole lot of creativity.
Then came the convertibles and the girls-the Homecoming Court of 1980. Hands waved and
flashing smiles were exchanged.

SPRING AND MAY DAY

What is it about spring that makes a student want to skip classes, and soak up sun rays, play tennis, or go drink

cold beverages? What ever it is, that is what makes spring quarter the hardest quarter of the year.

The quarter begins with the student approaching the arduous task of registration in one or two ways. Either he signs

up for a light load of "easy B" electives with the thought in mind of increasing his social knowledge, or he signs up for

the courses he blew in the fall and winter quarters with the hope of redeeming himself before being dropped from school.

But the distractions from studies are at a peak and take their toll, regardless.

The climate was definitely the main factor which made the distractions so irresistible as the hot and humid air created

unbearable conditions for studying, in the dorms. Refuge from the heat was taken either in the air conditioned library and

classroom buildings or over to a friend's apartment. If the student chose the latter, he invariably ended up in a bull session

around the pool. One distraction of Spring is the May Day weekend. This is a weekend of step singing, May Dance, May

Queen and King, parents day, and sports activities. The next couple of pages will show you what happened on that weekend.

LOOKING BACK OVER
THE EXCITEMENT

SPRING IS HOPE

Spring is a new beginning, a time for hoping . . . Spring heralds a new ideal, as
fresh as the morning smell of a breeze you had forgotten existed . . . Spring is a beautiful
season, hinting gently that yesterday can have its rewards.

All of a sudden, the world is thawing into a gentle glow that makes cutting classes
very important. Spring at LaGrange College means sunbathing, playing some extra tennis
in hopes of an earlier tan, than your best friend, outting winter heavy clothing away for
another year.

But Spring above all, a time for hoping.

Basketball

The 1980-81 LC Basketball team was indeed an enigma. On
some days they played, as if, they were number one team: and
on some days they played as if, they were running backward. Some
blame it on the coach, some on the alumni, some on politics, and
some on the team. At times the quality of play was so undeniably
poor that one was forced to wonder as to the subject that was
discussed at time out. About the only thing to look forward to was
the halftime show-the drill team would be performing.

But the positive side of the season should be expressed. The
cheerleaders were beautiful, the drill team was great, and the fans
kept the spirit moving. Of course we must express out gratitude
to the basketball players. They are: Bill Sexton, a Junior from
Selma, Alabama. Chris Dixon, a Senior from Walton, Ind. Wayne
Johnson, a Sophomore from LaGrange, Ga. Ken Smith, a Junior
from Tallapoosa, Ga. Doug Mason, a Freshmen from Tampa, Fla.
Willie Maddox, a Senior from LaGrange, Ga. Rob Walker, a Senior
from Bremen, Ga. Carl Sills, a Sophomore from Cuthbert, Ga. Greg
Nable, a Junior from Tallahassee, Fla. Mike Darnell, a Senior from
Springboro, Ohio, and Brad Kenemer, a Senior from Dalton, Ga.
These players are very important to us and we want them to know
they are really appreciated by us.

We're All Behind You

Go Panthers!

The Cheerleaders

Along with the basketball players we appreciate the for such an outstanding job: Melanie Mitchell, Leslie Alethea

cheerleaders just as well. They have a great task. The Jackson, both from Hogansville. Becky Davis of Fayetteville.

Cheerleaders are the special agents who motivate the crowd Margarette Crawl of Pine Mountain, Janet Kent of Columbus:

and get the spirit in action. We want to thank the followings Tara Tyler of East Point and Eva Linguist of Senoia.

This page is dedicated to Dr. Marcus Gewinner, chairman of the Psychology
Department for 10 years. He has shown so much love, concern, and dedication to all
people he comes into contact with; his personality is certainly self-actualized. We will miss
him as a professor, however, we are looking forward to observing him in art classes at
LC as a student.

Good Luck

Sesquicentennial

News

Since this is the 150th Birthday of the college, we would like to flash back to some of its historical happenings and
events. The college has certainly grown since its beginning in 1831. The next few pages will present these flashbacks to
you.

I would like to give special thanks to Ms. Carolyn Drandker Burgess for her special help and concern
for this historical section into the 1981 Quadrangle.

Sesquicen tennial
News

"In the beginning" for LaGrange College was December 26, 183 1, when the school's charter was approved
by the Georgia Legislature.

At the insistence of the first settlers of the area, an Act, passed by the Legislature of Georgia in 1827,
provided not only for the selection of a county seat and the incorporation of a town but also for two lots,
two acres each, to be reserved for academies.

And, in just three years after the town of LaGrange was incorporated in 1828, the College was chartered.

It's rare and awe-inspiring, to be a part of a College 150 years old. Our College has survived wars,
fires, famines, financial panics, and hardships.

Let's look back in time 150 years and see how it was when LaGrange was founded in 1831: . . . There
were only 24 states in the Union.

. . . Wilson Lumpkin was the Governor of Georgia.

. . . Andrew Jackson was the President of the United States.
(He was 7th President; Reagan is the 40th)

. . . Andrew Jackson was self educated and was the first Democratic President.

. . . During his administration: The Siege of the Alamo (1836), Texas independence, the Spoils System was
begun, and Arkansas and Michigan became states.

. . . George Washington had only been dead 32 years.

. . . Napoleon had only been dead 10 years.

. . . Robert E. Lee was 24 years old.

. . . Jefferson Davis was 23 years old.

. . . Abraham Lincoln was 22 years old.

. . . General Sherman was 11 years old.

. . . Ulysses S. Grant was 9 years old.

News events of the year 1831:

The first national nominating convention was held (the Anti-Masonic Party).
Cyrus McCormick invented the mechanical reaper.
Chloroform was first used as an anesthetic.

There were 30 known elements, now there are 104 known elements.

There were only 13 million people in the United States.

The biggest news in Georgia in 1831 was "trouble with the Indians."
The United States was giving a year's supply of food and paying
the moving expenses of the Chick asaws and the Choctaws in order
to get them to move over "next to Arkansas."

"LaGrange College stands today a monument to the character and determination of the men and women of Troup
County and other parts of the South." From its beginning Troup County was famous for its public spirited men and
brilliant and beautiful women. Its first settlers were men of culture and influence who moved into the territory from
eastern Georgia and Virginia and the Carolinas. Perhaps the one who is most widely remembered is Senator Benjamin
Harvey Hill, whose magnificent colonial home is one of the show places of LaGrange. He was at one time a trustee. It's
evident these pioneers were concerned about the education and religion of their children. At their insistence, an Act
was passed by the Legislature of Georgia in 1827, that provided for a county seat and for the incorporation of a town.
In just three years after the town was incorporated in 1828, LaGrange's ambitious citizens and the young women of the
South received a Christmas present in the form of a charter for LaGrange Female Academy. The charter was approved
by the Georgia Legislature on December 26, 1831.

The first students arrived in carriages laden with bandboxes and parasols and accompanied by Negro slaves. But
the school authorities wished to develop independence in the young women the mammies were sent away. The girls
wept and clung to them but the demands of women's emancipation prevailed in the end.

Early graduates of the school returned home to marry and become homemakers, or maiden aunts who cared for
their parents. They provided music for parties, teas, churches, and clubs. Or they became teachers of expression, art,
voice, and china-painting. Some of them were called to the mission fields and became missionaries to China, Japan,
Mexico, Brazil, and Cuba. Into the 1900s and the growth of the public school system in Georgia, more and more
LaGrange College graduates turned to the teaching profession.

It has been a tradition for a while that most LC graduates were studying to be ministers or they would work in the
North Georgia Conference. But things have changed since 1831 to 1981. In the 1960s the sacred cow of this profession
for men and this one for women suddenly disappeared, as LaGrange College men began entering the public school
system as teachers, rather than just coaches and principals. In the 70s the nursing profession has also attracted the
male. During this time LC's women have been breaking some barriers to become doctors and lawyers. Susan Boleyn
Stewart is an assistant attorney general in Atlanta. She handled the J. B. Stoner extradition case for the state. Dr. Jean
Hart is serving her internship in pediatrics in Augustus. Jeanette Lewis Little, was elected Judge of the Small Claims
Court in LaGrange. Over 25 LC graduates are engaged in the practice of law. At least 17 LC graduates are now
practicing medical doctors and dentists. Scott Gordy is a partner in the law firm of Wyatt, Wyatt, Solomon, and Gordy.
Joe Justice has his own private practice in LaGrange. Dr. George Baker is LaGrange's first black dentist. The most well
known alumnus is Dean Young whose name appears weekly in 1600 newspapers as the author of the comic strip
"Blondie."

LaGrange College lends an uplift to the life of LaGrange, Georgia.

Death is as much a part of human existence, growth, and
development, as being born. It is one of the few things in life we can
be assured will occur. Thus we would like to dedicate this page to Kathryn
Cline, the music professor at LaGrange College for 41 years.

IN MEMORIAM

We sprinkle the ashes-All that tangibly remains of Kathyrn
Cline. But thank God for the intangibles-The impact of her
life on ours. We remember: the smile, the frown, the quizzical
look, the love, the courage, the hurt, the sorrow, the
significant moments, the fun times, the searching times, the
moments of risk, the great time of affirmation As long

as we live We will bear the imprint Of that influence. She
opened many doors for us-We will forever be sensitized,
because doors were opened to whole new sets of meanings,
As to the importance of life. Because of Miss Cline we will
live differently.

216

Mrs. Bessie Jackson

Death is not an enemy to be conquered or a prison to be escaped. It is an integral part of our lives
that gives meaning to humans. It sets a limit on our time in this life, urging us on to do something productive
with that time as long as it is ours to use. Whether you die young or old is less important than whether
you have lived fully the years you have had. By living, I mean finding a sense of peace and strength to deal
with life's disappointments, pains, and struggles. This is how Mrs. Bessie lived, because we care, we dedicate
this page to her to express our sorrow.

Love and Sorrow

The agony is so great . . . And yet we will stand it. Had we not loved so very much We would not
hurt. But goodness knows we would not want to diminish that precious love By one fraction of an ounce.
We will hurt, and we will be grateful to the hurt For it bares witness to The depth of our meanings, And
for that we will be Eternally grateful.

GRADUATION

Graduation is an event which produces ambivalence feelings (sad and glad). Graduation exercises were first held by the European universities

of the Middle Ages. There are two special graduation ceremonies, baccalaureate and commencement. The baccalaureate is a religious service.

usually held on the Sunday before commencement exercises.

Graduates wear academic gowns and caps to the ceremonies. By tradition gowns are long and black. The tasseled flat black caps are called

mortarboards. The color of the tassel shows the kind of degree the graduate is receiving. Graduates may wear colored hoods on their backs

to show the highest degree they already hold, and the institution which conferred it.

The three gowns-Doctor-wears a silk gown with full, round sleeves. The gown is closed and shows velvet facing on the front. Three velvet

bars decorate the sleeves.

Master-wears a wool gown with full length square sleeves. A crescent shaped piece hangs down from each sleeve. It is closed in the front.

Bachelor-wears a worsted gown with long, pointed sleeves and a single button at the neck.

Dean Alford sums up the meaning of graduation in this poem:

As the tassel is moved,

So is a lifetime.

For the paths are chosen

Only the journey remains

Godspeed.

218

Graduating seniors are the people who still smile during finals week. Despite all the anticipation built up during a student's
years at LaGrange College, however, the actual ceremony is a letdown for some, because all you do is, You walk on stage,
grab the paper, shake hands with some guy, and walk off stage. But as you were walking off stage you remember, you
don't have a job; but you can join the military. But some people when they walk off the stage, they have a good thing.
Life is awaiting for them.

Best Wishes

as you

Looking back over 1980-81, I must say it has been a year full of memories I will cherish forever. There have
been good times and bad times, no matter what happened I tried to remain strong and to continue moving forward.
The topic of greatest impact at LC this year was the 150th birthday of the college. Three significant changes have
been made since the beginning and now; they are the admission of males, the admission of Blacks, and the change
from Baptist to Methodist Church affiliation.

The familiar first lines of Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities" describe a contemporary note for any college
year. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,
it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness,
it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us . . . "

I would like to say to each senior, congratulations on your auspicious beginning of your career. Each of us have
been blessed with intellectual ability and personal drive that has already brought us recognition for both present
achievement and potential service. Now, we shouldn't be afraid to enter the "real World" because while here at
LC we have learned to trust ourselves and conquer fears that limit what we dared. We can freely share with those
about us the skills and talents we have achieved. And we have learned to give our best until a task is completed
no matter how difficult that task might have been.

Each year a new generation of college graduates are inspired, advised, and challenged to face a future filled
with opportunities and responsibilities. We must hold to this practice and utilize our natural faith and courage to
become involved in working untiringly and creatively for solutions to the vast complexities of domestic and international
issues and for the greater realization of the human potential.

A yearbook is a photo album, a memory book, a history
book, and a lot of hard work. Bringing to an end the
1981 Quadrangle, I wish I could express on paper a sigh
relief. It has been a task that I have enjoyed; although
it was a difficult task to capture the events and moods
of this year. It has been my goal to put together a unique
yearbook.

I would like to express my appreciation to my yearbook
staff and especially to my faithful Business Manager, Mindy
Stokes and to my photographers, Greg Jasinski and David
Griffin. Acknowledgement is also due to Bill Wolfe.

Last, but not least, I would like to extend my love
to my advisor, Nancy Alford, who was always there for
encouragement. Also, I would like to thank God for
all blessings.

Love,

Sheila Ware, Editor
