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.

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.
