F
air on the Square
Fair On the Square is becoming a very popular activity to kick off the new academic year.
Sponsored by SGA, the event brings old and new students together for an evening of food, music
and activity. While students enjoyed subs and Cokes, they were able to leisurely walk the square
and browse the many vendor tables. Fair On the Square also provides students their first
opportunity to learn about the many student organizations and activities available to them at
LaGrange, and sign up for those that spark their interest.
(Above) One of the many
attractions at this year's Fair on
the Square was the popular
King of the Mountain. People
atempted all evening to
conqure the "mountain", but
few succeeded.

asquerade Ball
Jons and Tigers and Bears, Oh My... well not quite, but students once again donned a myriad of
ostumes for the annual Masquerade Ball. As in the past, the competition for the cash prizes for best
ostume was stiff. However, the highlight of the evening wasn't the awards, but instead, the fire alarm
;oing off! All of the revelers had to evacuate the building while the LaGrange Fire Department and
miversity staff inspected the building. After it was determined to be a false alarm everyone was
>ermitted back into the building and the fun continued.

January 22nd was the date for one of the most popular events on campus. The Ballroom was
packed with SGA Representatives and well over two hundred students. SGA along with trained
dealers manned the tables while the Peer Educators provided mocktails to the "gamblers." When
the gambling was over lucky students traded in their chips for raffle tickets in hopes of winning
one of the many prizes available. Prizes ranged from gift certificates to a stereo system to the muc
prized Sony Playstation.

C3uadrangle Dance
Quadrangle Dance is a popular Winter Quarter event for many reasons. First, of course, is that it
is a great excuse for everyone to get dressed up and grab a date; Second, because of the great
music, decorations, and food; And third, because of the crowning of the Quadrangle King and
Queen. This year's "royal couple" was Maranda Jernigan and Matthew Mitchell. Music was
provided by the band "The Roaches," a Beetles cover-group. Once again, Quadrangle Dance
proved to be a great time for all who attended.
27
May Day is the last major event on campus prior to the end of the academic
year and graduation. Parents, students, faculty and staff, and friends of the
College gather on the Quad to celebrate this famous "Rite of Spring." Out-
standing Alumni/ ae were added to the Wall of Fame, the fraternities and
sororities entertained the crowd with the annual "Step Sing," and the coveted
Waights G. Henry and Austin P. Cook awards are given out.

ip Sync
jp Sync is a popular SGA sponsored event. Lip Sync is held three times a year, once
very quarter. Students have the opportunity to dress up and strut their stuff for their
eers. As can be imagined, some pretty wilds acts grace the stage each quarter. The
ompetition can get pretty serious for the award money given to the winners!

Once labeled the most famous disco in the world, (for more reasons than
one!) Studio 54 closed in 1984 with barely a wimper. However, as the 1970's
are making a "comeback," so too has interest in the infamous 70' s disco king.
LaGrange College jumped onto the bandwagon and recreated the famed
disco on May 12, 1999. The attitude of SGA concerning this retro event:
"Often imitated, never duplicated... until now!"

Everyone who attended the SGA sponsored hypnotist laughed and had a great

crowd, imitate famous celebrities, and he even had them take a trip into space.

lending Braves games has become a favorite LaGrange College tradition,
veral trips are made in the Fall, Spring, and Summer quarters to "The Ted,"
c.a. Turner Field to see Atlanta's team take on any and all competition,
though the Braves may not always win, those who attend have a great time!
39
The Foreigner
"The Foreigner" is about an extremely shy Englishman named Charlie who makes a weekend
trip to a lodge in rural Georgia. The only person he feels comfortable talking to is his friend
Froggy, a British demolition expert. Froggy drops him off at the lodge and leaves to travel back
to Atlanta on business. Charlie feels his life is boring but doesn't want to talk to strangers, so hm
pretends to speak no English. In the process, he overhears private conversations from those wh ;
believe that he doesn't understand them!
Grease
"Grease," one of the most popular musicals of all time (and later made into an even more suc-
cessful film), centers around a group of Rydell High teenagers in 1959. As with all high schools
Rydell has a mix of many different types of students, but the most popular are the leather jackt t
clad gang led by Danny Zuko and the Pink Ladies led by the tough Rizzo. When Danny and
Sandy (the "new" girl) find themselves in school together after a summer romance, he bows to
peer pressure from his friends and hides his feelings for her. Danny has a reputation to uphold
However, when he loses Sandy he realizes that love will always win out over leather jackets ari
cool cars!

Antigone
"Antigone," one of the plays in the "Oedipus" trilogy by Sophocles is a true Greek tragedy. In
"Oedipus Rex," Oedipus unknowingly kills his father, marries his mother, and has four
children; Antigone is one of his daughters. In the play, King Creon decrees that Polynices the
traitor is not to be buried, however his sister, Antigone defies the order and tries to bury her
brother. She is caught and is sentenced by Creon to be buried alive - even though she is to be
married to Creon's son. After the blind prophet Tiresias convinces Creon that the gods are on
Antigone's side, he relents and clears Antigone of any crime - but it is too late. Antigone has
hanged herself at her brother's tomb. When Creon arrives, his son Haemon attacks him and
then kills himself. When the news of the deaths spread, Creon's wife Eurydice also takes her
life. Creon is now alone because of his decision.

banner competition. Heavy competition was found at the volleyball and soft-
ball tournaments while brains were the name of the game at the Academic
Bowl. A sidewalk chalk contest was a precursor to the highly anticipated and
competitive Greek Games. The awarding of Mr. Greek to Nicholas Bellayuto
and Ms. Greek to Jennifer Ives, and the Greek Week Champion trophies
concluded a fun and event-filled week.

Dr. F. Stuart Gulley
3r. F. Stuart Gulley assumed the duties of president of LaGrange College on July 1, 1996.
succeeded Walter Y. Murphy, who served the College for 16 years. In his 30s, President
illey is among the youngest college presidents in the country.
aGrange College has had significant growth since President Gulley's arrival. His appointed
k forces pertaining to the school's mission, athletics, student and residence life, retention and
ics have resulted in a new mission statement and also the school's first ever Honor Code. The
letic program has also begun to switch from NAIA Division II competition to NCAA Divi-
n III, placing the school in the elite Division III athletic field occupied by some of the
leminant liberal arts colleges in the country.
)uring President Gulley's three-year tenure, full and partial competitive academic scholar-
ps have been created, and a new modified semester system (4-1-4) will begin in the Fall of
10. Faculty members have been meeting extensively to prepare a new and more challenging
riculum and in 1998 the College began a comprehensive program to prepare professionals
full-time Christian service in the local church. Supporting this venture via programming and
ints, LaGrange College is implementing a "Servant Leadership" program that encourages
dents to become active in their churches and community to "give back" as well as help those
o are unable or less fortunate. This new philosophy and program will place LaGrange
liege a tier above the other liberal arts colleges and universities in the Southeast and the
mtry by actively educating its students both scholastically, morally, and spiritually.
'resident Gulley has worked hard to enhance and solidify a strong financial foundation for
1 College, ensuring its legacy for many years to come. Near the end of the 1998 - 1999
demic year, a financial gift of $22.5 million was bequeathed to the College - the largest in its

A Note from the Editor
What a HUGE task this has been One hundred and seventy-six pages never seemed so long. I must begin by
telling you that I have never before taken on such a task as this. To generalize the process the first thing you must do
is create a staff. A large group of people that are willing to devote gracious amounts of time and effort to the comple-
tion of something for which they will not be paid. Unfortunately, due to several setbacks, there was a fairly small
staff this year. Though these people were dedicated to the Quadrangle beyond the hours in a day we were still unable
to keep up with certain publishing protocol. However, now that I have said that there were difficulties, I must also
say that without the help of these wonderful people, the 1998 - 1999 Quadrangle would not have made it to press at
all. These people are Katie Holbach (Assistant Editor), April Russell, Jovanna Parrish, and Ansley Harvey. Their help
will be forever remembered.
The second thing that an Editor must do is to create a working ladder, a sort of outline for the upcoming year-
book. I think we probably changed the ladder about two dozen times. I suppose that's why they call it a "working"
ladder. Hopefully, the order of things makes sense to you and you are able to follow the flow of the book with little
trouble. I have two people to thank for their help in the organization of this book. They are Stuart Holden and Ahna
Paul. They began this book in 1998 and only hoped the best for it.
With all this accomplished you must begin to collect the pictures. Oh my, all the pictures! We have taken over
7,000 photos, only a fraction of which were used in this book. Each of the previously mentioned people have taken
more than their fair share and are to be commended. I actually must thank two other people for their photographic
contributions. They are our own Dr. Bill McCoy who donated the beautiful staircase photo at the beginning of the
book (among others) and Derek Bell.
I cannot forget one of the most important things about a yearbook though... the copy. This is so important to a
yearbook. How else would you remember the wild Studio 54 party or a familiar face in a photo? For this I have my
advisor, Debbie Bonaminio, to thank. I'd like to think I am witty enough to write copy and captions, but I must face
the facts, I'm just not that funny. Debbie, on the other hand, is never at a loss for words and is more than capable of
writing these short phrases.
To be terribly honest with you all, there are more than just the above mentioned people that have helped me with |
this past year's yearbook. Faculty and staff have been extremely supportive and helpful, not to mention all of the
students that have helped me locate that one person I didn't know. You must congratulate yourselves on a job well
done. I thank you all.
This is where you will probably want to quit reading because I am going to thank a few people that have helped
me through this past year without even realizing it. There are always people in the background that are responsible
for your sanity as well as your well-being, and to begin with I must, without a doubt, thank my family. I didn't have
much time to spend with them this year partly because of the Quadrangle. They continued to say they missed me and
wished I had more time to visit, but they never asked me to quit. For this, they are the best parents (and brother) in
the entire world. I must also thank Ms. Kirby McCartney, Ms. Marcia Gorman, and Ms. Marcia Brown. Whether it be
smiling faces or witty jokes, they helped me to make it through this
past year. These three women are certainly something to aspire to.
There is no doubt in my mind that my sisters in Alpha Omicron Pi
were also a reason that I was able to accomplish what I have.
Special thanks to Katie Holbach,Mandy Lupo, Alicia Bailey, and
Laurel Anderson... I love you all. Finally, I must thank Debbie
Bonaminio. I can't begin to tell you how much time and energy
Debbie has put into this yearbook. She is always there to offer
advice, solicited or not. She has let me complain about things that
no one in their right mind would sit through, yet she was always
there. She is a wealth of information just waiting to be of service. I
sincerely hope that she finds all of her hopes and dreams. Thanks
to God that I was able to meet each and everyone of these people.
Thank you for everything and have (and remember) a great year!
Sincerely,
Stacy Ann Gorman
Quadrangle Editor
