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.

ministration.

a student serving a restriction. 

c. Students on restriction may not attend social functions 
or social activities except regular religious activities on

Dormitory Council to extend restrictions.

striction as he is preparing to leave for a school holiday 



19 



or at the end of a quarter, the restriction will not be 
enforced until immediately after the student returns 
to the campus for the next school session.

ment Association denotes that infraction of that rule

ment Association denotes that infraction of that rule will

20 



such times, all occupants of the building are expected to 
leave immediately.

property. Occupants of a room are responsible for their 
room. If vandalism occurs in the halls, rest rooms, or 
general areas of the dormitory and the student responsi- 
ble for the damage cannot be determined, the financial 
responsibility for the damage will be shared either by 
the residents on the floor involved or by all of the resi- 
dents of the dormitory. 

6 No individuals or organizational proift-making enter- 
prises will be allowed on campus without permisson 
of the Busness Manager. Student groups having special 
projects should clear them with the Dean of Students. 

7. Students are cautioned regarding their responsibilities to

PARKING REGULATIONS 

Although LaGrange College will make available certain 
areas for student parking, it is understood that a student 
bringing a car to the campus will assume all responsibility 
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 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 
the car and any car found with this permit on any place other 
than the rear bumper will be treated as if no permit has been 
obtained. 

Students may park only in areas provided for Student 
parking as listed above. Any student whose car is found with- 
out 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 ac- 
cumulated more than three offenses for the period of the regu- 
lar school year, each additional 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 Ad- 
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. 

It should be clearly understood that driving at a speed 
considered unsafe for others on campus constitutes a violation 
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. 



22 



THE STUDENT INFIRMARY 

A student infirmary, staffed by qualified, resident per- 
sonnel, is located in the Smith Building. LaGrange College 
students who need medical attention should call at the Col- 
lege 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 telephone the infirmary to re- 
quest service before appearing there. Students should seek in- 
firmary service as soon as possible after they become aware of

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!
