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 siought.
High upon thy lofty hilltop

Visitors 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 on the knowledge

Of Him, whom to know is life eternal.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Student Government at LaGrange College is designed to
help guide students in their campus life. In cooperation with
the administration, the Student Government directs all mat-
ters pertaning to the student affairs and gives to each stud-
ent the opportunity to live as an honorable and unselfish
citizen in a community governed by him and his fellow stud-
ents. Every student has his own personal responsibility as a
member of this campus democracy. The purpose of each stud-
ent on the campus is explicitly 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 Gov-
ernment will continue to be a government of the students, by
the students, and for the students.

Certain areas are reserved for faculty, visitors and un-
loading zones. Other areas are reserved for students.

Student parking areas are located directy behind Manget
classroom building and behind Pitts, Turner and Broad Street
Dormitories. An additional parking area is adjacent to the
Gymnasum. 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

21

be easily seen. No permit is acceptable on any other part of

obtained.

ministration Building as well as in the unloading zone at the
rear of Smith Building after 5:00 p. m. but must remove
them before 7:30 a. m. the following day. On Saturday 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.

Office.

CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS

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

During the first month of orientation various organiza-
tions entertan 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 followed
by various activites 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 reveal
the names of their Little Brothers and Little Sisters at a party
early in the fall.

The Seniors, Juniors and underclassmen sing to each

25

other on the Quadrangle on Friday night before Final Exams
begin. The singing is followed by a Commmunion 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 ap-
propriate 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!
