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.

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
through all the information available to us that you are
the type of student who will be representative of the
ideals that this institution stands for.

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.

At any time I can personally assist you, I urge you to
let me know.

As President of your student government, I welcome
you to our campus. The years you spend here will be the
most important years of your life so they should be spent
wisely and constructively. LaGrange College offers you
many opportunities, educationally, socially, and spirit-
ually. I urge you to take full advantage of these oppor-
tunities and to be conscientious in all you undertake. I
challenge you to devote maximum effort in achieving
academic excellence and I encourage you to enter into the

The various experiences and lasting friendships to be

life and an essential part of education.

The LaGrange College Student Government Associ-

sary where a group of people must live together.

Sincerely,
John Pike

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.

prises will be allowed on campus without permission
of the Business Manager. Student groups having special
projects should clear them with the Dean of Students.

7. Students are cautioned regarding their responsibilities
to all laws of local, state, and federal governments.

PARKING REGULATIONS

Although LaGrange College will make available cer-
tain areas for student parking, it is understood that a
student bringing a car to the campus will assume all re-
sponsibility for finding a parking place, with LaGrange
College giving no guarantee of a space for each vehicle.

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.

sonnel, is located in the Smith Building. LaGrange Col-
lege students who need medical attention should call at
the College Infirmary during clinic hours, which will be
posted at the beginning of the Fall Quarter. At other
times and in cases of emergency, students should tele-
phone the infirmary to request service before appearing
there. Students should seek infirmary service as soon as
possible after they become aware of symptoms of physical
disorder, then they should follow the advice of the medi-

CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS

When you come to LaGrange, you not only enjoy the
customs handed down through the years, but you have a
share in adding to the traditions of your Alma Mater.

During the first month of orientation various organiza-
tions entertain the new students in various ways:

The Junior Class honors their brother-sister class, the
Freshman Class, with a party at the beginning of school.

Homecoming is a week-end when the alumni return to
the college. It begins with Stunt-Night Friday night fol-
lowed by various activities for the alumni Saturday and
climaxed by the Homecoming Dance Saturday night.

The local sororities and fraternities provide social activi-
ties for the students. Bids are sent out at a time designated
by the Panhellenic Council. Every student gets at least
one bid.

The sophomores entertain their brother-sister class, the
seniors, in the spring.

The Freshman and Junior and Sophomore and Senior
classes have a brother-sister relationship. The Juniors re-
veal the names of their Little Brothers and Little Sisters
at a party early in the fall.

The Seniors, Juniors, and underclassmen sing to each
other on the Quadrangle on Friday night before Final
exams begin. The singing is followed by a Communion
Service.

HINTS TO THE FRESHMEN

Be wise Learn your handbook as soon as you get to
College!

If you don't know, ask those who do know. Curious
freshmen make wise sophomores.

You are expected to attend the church of your choice
every Sunday.

Bad work for the first quarter may handicap you

through the whole year-
It is good taste to freshen up for dinner and to wear

appropriate street clothes in town.
Pay all dues on time.

Remember that you reflect your home. Also, your good
name and the good name of your college are represented
by your actions.

Honor is too dear to be compromised for popularity, or
the fear of being pleasant.

Chronic borrowers do not make good friends.

You must furnish your own broom, mop, dust pan, iron
and ironing board, pillow and linens.

School supplies and miscellaneous items may be bought
in the campus bookstore.

Class spirit makes a college spirit!

If you can't play a sport, then be one and support the
LaGrange College Panthers!

sports and social events, along with other interesting fea-
tures.
