his best to point the student in the right direction.

in just about everything, and he is an asset
to all of the students who come to him."'

"LaGrange College is blessed with many hard working,
talented, and dedicated employees; yet, I know of no one
who exceeds Dr. Arthur Robinson's commitment to

students would choose to dedicate the annual yearbook

so many."

before donating blood.

times, but every time
they tell me my veins
are too small. I will
continue to keep trying
because it is a small way
of giving back. I hope
that I will be able to
plump up my veins by
drinking more water, so
that next time I will be
able to give. In the mean
time, I get cool stickers
saying that I tried!"

A technician from the Red Cross
checks on Senior Jennifer
Beckham while she is giving
blood. Jennifer was one of many
students who took time out of
their busy schedules to give

On October 29, 2007, the college held the
groundbreaking ceremony for the new
Frank and Laura Lewis Library, named
after the former LaGrange College
employees. Mr. Lewis served as the col-
lege's library director for 22 years and
Mrs. Lewis was a librarian herself before
she came to work at the college in the
admissions office. The new library will be
three times the size of the current Banks
Library. As the college moves to be more
environmentally responsible, the new
library will be LEED certified. The
expected completion date for the library is
November 8, 2008.

Sophomores Emily Boulton and Ginny Berndt
gather with other students amidst the construction
site after the ceremony was over.

Speer Burdette, president, Callaway Foundation,
Inc., and college trustee; Ellen Hudson Harris,
trustee; Scott Hawkins, campaign chair; Jason
Lewis, son of the library's namesakes; Stuart
Gulley, president; Loren Pinkerman, library
director; Jane Holik, SGA president; Kevin
Shirley, associate professor of history; and Bill
Hodges, board of trustees chair break ground on
the new library.

"I hate waking up early due to the lovely
construction going on outside, but I am glad to be
getting a new library. That will be nice, hopefully."

Sophomore Ginny Berndt

"I think the new library is going to be a great asset to
our school. Although parking has been inconvenient,
I think it's a sacrifice worth making for the rewards of
the new library."

Senior Erin Rogers

"I think a new library is a good idea, but terrible
placement. There are several other places that the
new library could have been placed."

Senior Corey Hill

"Right now almost the entire parking lot is blocked
off, forcing us poor art kids to walk even further. On
the bright side, at least the library will be bigger with
more room for the attainment of knowledge."

This January I lived in the CEB and tried to
develop an undeveloped musical talent. What was
first thought to be an easy month off, rapidly turned
into hours of concentration. We filled out an
enormous theory workbook, attempted to compose
a few songs, discovered a love/hate relationship
with the program Garage Band, and made an
awkward, but hilarious band called "Earl and the
Perdidos" that played three cover songs. Although
the class was time consuming and frustrating, it was
heartbreaking to leave at the end of the month. It
proved that everyone is important and contributes to
success, whether through thoughts, an
instrument, or mimicking Vanilla Ice.

My Jan Term can be summed up in one
work: amazing. I opted to go on a unique
travel course to New York that began with
in class studies over classical composers and
ended with a four day excursion to New York
to see to productions at the Metropolitan
Opera House. The course introduced me to
several aspects of the classical music world:
how it has affected modern day music, how
it affects our economy and social status, and
how to analyze modern day stereotypes about
opera. Learning about the composers gave me
a greater insight and appreciation for the work
once I saw it live.

I spent a week in Spain for my
Jan-term and this trip was not
only fun, but also an awesome
learning experience. Though
I had learned about Spain and
Spain's culture before this trip,
there is nothing like actually
being there. We toured many
famous castles, palaces, and
museums which were amazing
and indescribable, but I believe
the most memorable thing about
the trip was watching gypsies
do flamenco dancing. I didn't
realize gypsies still existed, and
it was crazy to watch what great
dancers they were and how fast
they moved their feet! I had
such a good time and am hoping
to have the opportunity to travel
again during a Jan-term.

that were still on campus during
January had a nice surprise on the
morning of Saturday, January 19, 2008.

As a way to relieve the rising enrollment issues of the
college, the opportunity to live in theme houses was offered.
The "Gang Green" house was formed by four students with a
common interest in sustainability. With the college making an
effort in going "green," Leeann Brooks, Erica Robinson, Jane
Holik, and Lisa Burgee decided to start their own theme house
focusing on reducing, reusing, and recycling. These girls have
given back to the community with speeches and presentations,
sharing the ways they have made their home sustainable. They
have a tank-less water heater, a low flushing toilet, energy
saving light bulbs, a compost pile, and recycling bins. These
examples are just a few of the ways these eco-friendly students
have made their home more environmentally compatible.

Erica Robinson gives Dr. Sharon Livingston a tour
of the Gang Green theme house. The girls hosted
an open house for the college community to come
and see the theme house.

Gang Green members Lisa Burgee, Jane Holik,
Leann Brooks, and Erica Robinson, spend time on

religion and spiritual beliefs."

only hope I can be as supportive for them as Dr. Langdon was for
me. Dr. Baxter, Mr. Darden, Dr. Cafaro, Sr. Barrientos, Monty

The theme of this year's Quadrangle is "Panther's In
Motion." This theme aptly describes the life of all
students of LaGrange College because they are
always on the move. Whether its hurrying to get to that
8:00 class, rushing to sports practice, heading off to a
part-time job. participating in community service, or
trying to complete all 40 cultural enrichment events
before graduation, students are constantly in motion.

Since LaGrange College operates on a 4-1-4 semester
system, students have a wide variety of opportunities
for the interim term in January. As with the fall and
spring semesters, students kept busy with their classes,
activities, or internships and were constantly in motion.
Some were even in motion around the world in places
like Japan, Spain, and England.

The most notable event on campus this year was the
ground breaking for the new Frank and Laura Lewis
Library. Students experienced inconvenience because
of the contstruction, especially those living in Hawkes,
Pitts, and Henry Residence Halls. However, these
inconveniences will be worth the new facilities that
students will have access to when the library opens
towards the end of 2008.

When discussing the library, one cannot help but
mention the biggest issue for LaGrange College
students for the 2007-2008 school year: parking. Yes,
that one simple word that when uttered could cause fits
of rage from even the calmest students. However, there
was silver lining to the crack down on parking: students
were able to grow closer to our dear friend Wylene.

In addition to the changes that have either
occurred or are in the process of occuring on campus.
The Quadrangle has undergone several changes. For
the first time, we created a digital yearbook available to
all students free on a cd-rom. For our student pictures
this year, we took outside portraits around campus.
These photos turned out wonderful and we are
thankful to the students who participated. As a means
to get more pictures for the yearbook, we contacted
many students via Facebook. Thanks to all of you who
provided us with pictures and information. We were
also very pleased to be able to incorporate the Evening
College in this year's Quadrangle.

Congratulations to the class of 2009! I hope this
yearbook will provide you with an opportunity to
re-experience some of the memorable events of
your last year of college. I would also like to
congratulate Dr. Robinson on being selected for
the yearbook dedication. Dr. Robinson is a true
asset to our campus and I know that every student
who has been helped by him will acknowledge his
worthiness for this honor.

A special thanks goes to our adviser Stacy
Jackson for all of her guidance on the creation of
this year's Quadrangle. The yearbook staff was
lucky this year to have the addition of Donna
Kirkendall as our photography editor. Thank you
Donna for your great ideas and for taking the
time to take the yearbook portraits. Our Evening
College section was headed up by Susan Shaner.
Thank you Susan for your dedication and thank
you to Mrs. Linda McMullen and Kenya Rainey
for your assistance. And last, but certainly not
least, I would like to thank the Quadrangle staff
members. I hope you all found the experience of
working on your college yearbook as rewarding as
I have. . i
