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

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.

John R. Love

Dean of Students

Welcome to LaGrange College! I think you have
chosen wisely in selecting our college to further your
educational goals. You not only have selected LaGrange
College we have also selected you because we believe
you are a person representative of the ideals this insti-
tution stands for.

Education should provide opportunities for individ-
uals to grow and develop their talent, ability, and under-
standing. LaGrange is a small college and you will
have an opportunity to meet personally your teachers
and others who will give you advice. Take advantage
of this opportunity of being treated as a person rather
than a number.

I look forward to meeting each of you and if I can
ever be of any personal assistance please let me know.

John R. Love

Ed Frazier

President

Student Government Association

As President of your student government, I wel-
come 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 spiritually. I urge you to take full advan-
tage of these opportunities and be conscientious in all
you undertake.

The LaGrange College Student Government Asso-
ciation exists primarily for the purpose of speaking and
acting for the students. It is an active organization of
all students enrolled at LaGrange which is designed to
formulate rules and policies by which students govern
themselves. This handbook contains those rules of our
college community. I urge you to study and understand
these rules that we feel are necessary where a group
of people must live together.

Sincerely,

Ed Frazier

PURPOSE OF THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Student Government at LaGrange College is design-
ed to help guide students in their campus life. In coop-
eration with the administration, the Student Govern-
ment directs all matters pertaining to the student af-
fairs 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 stud-
ent has his own personal responsibility as a member of
this campus democracy. The purpose of each student 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 Col-
lege, Student Government will continue to be a govern-
ment of the students, by the students, and for the
students.

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

22

responsibility for finding a parking- place, with La-
Grange College giving no guarantee of a space for each
vehicle.

Certain areas are reserved for faculty, visitors and
unloading zones. Other areas are reserved for students.

Student parking areas are located directly behind
Manget classroom building and behind Pitts, Turner and
Broad Street Dormitories. An additional parking area
is adjacent 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 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 stud-
ent parking as listed above. Any student whose car is
found without a permit after the date set for obtaining
them will be fined $5.00. Each time a student's car
is found parked in an illegal parking zone or a no-park-
ing zone, a fine will be assessed. The first offense car-
ries a penalty of $1.00; the second offense $2.00; the
third offense $3.00. Any time a student has accumu-
lated more than three offenses for the period of the
regular 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 ad-
jacent to the Administration 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 fol-
lowing day. On Saturday and Sunday these same areas
may be used day or night. In any event, the car must

23

be removed 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 consti-
tutes 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.

THE STUDENT INFIRMARY

A student infirmary, staffed by qualified, resident
personnel, is located in the Smith Building. LaGrange
College 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
telephone the infirmary to request service before ap-
pearing there. Students should seek infirmary service
as soon as possible after they become aware of
symptoms of physical disorder, then they should fol-
low the advice of the medical authorities. LaGrange
College students are also requested to observe infirmary
rules and regulations which will be posted at the same
time the clinic hours are posted.

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
organizations 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
followed by various activities for the alumni Saturday
and climaxed by the Homecoming Dance Saturday night.

The local sororities and fraternities provide social
activities for the students. Bids are sent out at a time
designated by the Greek Council.

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

26

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 other on the Quadrangle on Friday night before
Final Exams begin. The singing is followed by a Com-
munion 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 repre-
sented 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!

The College's student newspaper gets its name from
the campus location, its staff members from the student
body, and its content from campus activities. Started
only five years ago, it became a weekly publication in
1962. Published in convenient tabloid form, it is finan-
ced by business advertisements and, to a certain extent
by your student activity fee.

Purpose of THE HILLTOP NEWS is to report
honestly, accurately, and thoroughly news which is of
interest to the college community and to comment edi-
torially with carefully considered and well-supported
opinions on matters which concern the well-being of the
college. It presents news and pictures of general school
activities, and sports and social events, along with other
interesting features.

Memories of your college life will come to mind in
later years through the pages of THE QUADRANGLE,
the LaGrange College yearbook. The annual publica-
tion, dating back to 1914, contains a visual and verbal
record of the college, including activities, organizations,
sports, social life, and traditions. It also features some
of the smaller and lighter segments of campus life
which, nevertheless, are so important in making La-
Grange College spirit what it is.

Working on this publication is divided among
students interested in photography, art, writing, and
advertising.
