ALMA MATER
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,
Guardian of our days;
For thy spirit never failing
We will sing thy praise.
High aloft we hold thy banner
Ever loyal, true;
And to thee, our Alma Mater,
We our pledge renew.
In thy mighty groves of learning,
Wisdom's paths we've sought.
High upon thy lofty hilltop
Visions have been wrought.
From our hearts we sing the chorus
Time shall never change,
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,
Hail to thee, LaGrange.

THE LAGRANGE COLLEGE STUDENT'S CREED
Life is mine to live. 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 may I cultivate in my college life
Those traits and ideals that will fit me
To weave dreams into realities, and impressions
into character,
To meet bravely the hard tasks of life,
To bring joy to those who falter in their tasks.
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, whom to know is life eternal.

Dr. Waights G. Henry, Jr.

^Jo Dke Yjevu 3 tudents
at LaGrange College
We welcome you to our campus and into our student
body. We invite you to an orientation of a vital and
serious nature.
From the very start LaGrange College students are ex-
pected to take seriously their work in the classrooms,
laboratories, studios and library. This is the major pur-
pose for which students attend college.
Along with the intellectual quest we invite you to an
examination of your inner self and the achievement of
ultimate satisfactions that comes only with a knowledge
of and dedication to God.
One does not live alone. Relationships to other people
call for an adaption to their needs and wishes while at
the same time we seek to develop an identity of our own.
One is best liked when he likes other people.
The administration and faculty are interested in serv-
ing the students in any manner that contributes to the
development of cultured Christian men and women.
Waights G. Henry, Jr.
John R. Love
Dean of Students
I want to welcome you to LaGrange College. I am glad
you have selected L.C. as the institution you wish to have
assist you in the goals and ideals you have set out to ac-
complish in the world of education.
Not only have you selected LaGrange College La-
Grange College has also selected you because we believe

Education should provide opportunities for individuals
to grow and develop their talent, ability, and understand-
ing. Included in education is the concept of individual
development with responsibility for making a meaning-
ful contribution to your self and to society.
I want to remind you that a college education not only
gives you the tools that enable you to earn your own liv-
ing but also teaches you how to live. I feel that LaGrange
College is qualified to assist you in all of your worthy
goals.

most important years of your life so they should be spent

PURPOSE OF THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Student Government at LaGrange College is designed
to help guide students in their campus life. In coopera-
tion with the administration, the Student Government di-
rects all matters pertaining to the student affairs and gives
to each student the opportunity to live as an honorable
and unselfish citizen in a community governed by him
and his fellow students. Every student has his own per-
sonal responsibility as a member of this campus democ-
racy. The purpose of each student on the campus is ex-
plicitly stated in the Student's Creed, therefore, it is well
for all students to become familiar with the creed in order
to make it their guide for campus relations. By living up
to the ideals of LaGrange College, Student Government
will continue to be a government of the students, by the
students, and for the students.

PARKING REGULATIONS

Certain areas are reserved for faculty, visitors and un-
loading zones. Other areas are reserved for students.
Student parking areas are located directly behind Man-
get classroom building and behind Pitts, Turner and Broad
Street Dormitories. An additional parking area is adjacent
21
to the Gymnasium. The last row of spaces in front of the
Dining Hall (the row nearest the bank facing Turner)
has also been designated for use as student parking.
All students parking cars on campus must have the
car(s) registered and receive a parking permit for each
car. These may be obtained from the Business Office. This
permit is to be affixed on the rear bumper of the car in
such place that it may be easily seen. No permit is ac-
ceptable on any other part of the car and any car found
with this permit on any place other than the rear bumper
will be treated as if no permit had been obtained.
Students may park only in areas provided for Student
Parking as listed above. Any student whose car is found
without a permit after the date set for obtaining them
will be fined $10.00. Each time a student's car is found
parked in an illegal parking zone or a no-parking zone, a
fine will be assessed. The first offense carries a penalty of
$1.00; the second offense $2.00; the third offense $3.00
Any time a student has accumulated more than three of-
fenses for the period of the regular school year, each ad-
ditional offense will carry a penalty of $5.00.
Students may park cars in faculty and visitor spaces in
front of the Dining Hall and in the area adjacent to the
Administration Building as well as in the unloading zone
at the rear of Smith Building after 5:00 p.m. but must re-
move them before 7:30 a.m. the following day. On Satur-
day and Sunday these same areas may be used, day or
night, except on weeks when Saturday classes are held.
In any event, the car must be moved before 7:30 a.m.
Monday. All other areas are restricted at all times.
It should be clearly understood that driving at a speed
considered unsafe for others on campus constitutes a viola-
tion as well as driving the wrong way on a one way street.
All campus policemen have the authority to issue
tickets for violations and all fines are handled through
the Business Office.

times and in cases of emergency, students should tele-

possible after they become aware of symptoms of physical

one bid.
