Julia said, "I have tried to give blood many 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 blood in the Student Center. Relaxing while donating blood, Junior Fleming Garner said, "I donate blood because it could potentially save someone's life and it is a very simple thing to do. I am glad the college has blood drives."

"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."

Junior Loren Hawkins "When I started the evening college, I thought it was really going to stretch my days and be a tough challenge to work full-time and attend a full-time course load.

Dr. Baxter, Mr. Darden, Dr. Cafaro, Sr. Barrientos, Monty Strickland, Katie Thompson, Charlene Hines, Dr. Janice William, Dr. Todd Matthews, Fred Farrar, Patty Lee, and Mrs. McMullen have all helped me grow through my LaGrange experience.

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. Juniors Andrew Gaines, Meghan Ceja, and Anthony Lusano spend time in Atlanta while on a field trip to U.S. Tax Court for Professor Karie Davis-Nozemack's tax class. 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 134 Closing Andrew Gaines, Editor Donna Kirkendall, Photography Editor Susan Shaner, Evening College Editor Marcie Harvin, Assistant Editor o + rr a a i- Juniors Marcie Harvin and Andrew Gaines sit at The Quadrangle's table at the annual Fair on the Square.
