stumnt mmm STUDENT HANDBOOK LAGRANGE COLLEGE LaGrange, Georgia 1955-1956 Presented by STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2014 https://archive.org/details/studenthandbookl1955lagr FOREWORD The Student Government Association, based on powers and laws granted by the President and Faculty, has con- trol of all matters pertaining to the conduct and social life of the students. All students should learn to appre- ciate that the least disregard of the rules on their part means extra care upon their fellow students who, though conscientiously assuming office under the Association, have yet come to college to enjoy and make use of the advantages that LaGrange College offers. To learn to live honorably and unselfishly in a com- munity and to share in the responsibility of the govern- ment is a part of the broader education for which we come to college. We ask of all students their hearty co- operation. We hope our Student Government Association will succeed in helping its students to be intelligent citi- zens and thinking individuals. Page Three The L. C. 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. Page Four 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.

Page Fifteen What Our Student Government Means Student Government at LaGrange College is designed to help and guide the students during their campus life. Every student has his own personal responsibility as a member of this campus democracy. The Student Gov- ernment, in cooperation with the administration and fac- ulty, directs all matters pertaining to student affairs, and gives to each student the opportunity to live as honorable and unselfish citizens in a community governed by him and his fellow students. The Student Government Association annually elects a Student Council to represent the student body, and to de- termine and carry out the policies of the Association. The Student's Creed firmly states the purpose of each student on the campus. It is well for students to know the creed on their arrival and to do their best to carry it out in campus relationships. Each student must feel that the Student Government Association is not just an organization that makes and enforces rules and regulations. It operates as a guiding force in our individual and collective efforts to gain the freedom that we feel comes to those who respect rules and regulations, and yet go beyond mere rules to base their actions on love and respect for self and others. By living up to the ideals of LaGrange College, student government will continue to be a government of the stud- ents, by the students, and for the students. Page Sixteen Constitution Whereas, we the students of LaGrange College, desire to assume individual and community responsibilities in the life and conduct of the college, thereby manifesting our loyalty, we do hereby, in accordance with the char- ter granted by the administration and faculty, organize ourselves into an association based upon the system of honor, with a pledge to uphold the ideals and its laws.

Every student matriculated in the college who is will- ing to make the purpose of the association his own is a member of the Student Christian Association. Each new student has been given an S.C.A. Friend, whose special concern is to help him in becoming adjusted to life at LaGrange College. Most of the work of the S.C.A. is carried on through the committees which hold planning meetings monthly. Each individual is given the opportunity during S.C.A. Week to decide upon the committee on which he will serve. The activities are varied enough to meet the needs of every individual and to give each person an opportunity for Christian service. Vesper services and nightly medita- tions are sponsored by this organization. The S.C.A. sup- ports a French war orphan, participates in the World University Service, gives a Christmas party for the col- lege servants, sponsors Christmas caroling and many special services, and carries on various service projects in the community. In all of its activities the S.C.A. attempts to offer opportunities for spiritual growth and to realize the ideals of Christianity in our campus community.

When you come to LaGrange, you not only enjoy the customs handed through the years, but you have a share in add- ing to the traditions of your Alma Mater. During the first month of orientation many organizations entertain the new students in various ways. The Student Government Association will honor the new students at a reception to introduce members of the administration and faculty. The Junior Class honors their Sister Class with a party on the first Saturday night. During the second week the Athletic Association gives a weiner roast at Pine Mountain for the new students. To climax SCA Week a party is given for the new students. Early in October, Freshmen sign their pledges and of- ficially become a part of the Student Government Associ- ation. Also, on this night the Juniors reveal the names of their Little Sisters and Brothers. The sister-brother re- lationship between the classes is one of the treasured as- pects of our college life. The local sororities and fraternities, which everyone has the privilege to join, provide social activities for the stud- ents. Bids are sent out at a time designated by the Inter- Sorority and Inter-Fraternity Councils. The S.C.A. sponsors a Christmas party for the servants Page Forty-Eight every year. Each student places a present under the Christmas tree in the Dining Hall for one of the servants. Christmas Caroling in town is a big event before the holidays. The Sophomores honor their sister class, the Seniors, at a banquet in the Spring. The seniors, juniors, and underclassmen sing to each other at midnight on Commencement Sunday. The sing- ing is followed by a Communion Service in the Little Chapel. Page Forty-Nine Hints to the Freshmen Be wise know your handbook before you come to College ! The Student Government is here to help you, not to catch you. You may turn to the Council at any time for help. If you don't know, ask. Curious freshmen make wise sophomores. Each new student has an S.C.A. Friend who will con- tact you before Fall. This person will be glad to help you get adjusted to college life. Near the first of school every girl will need a formal dress for the Student Government Association Reception and a white dress for the S.C.A. installation. Everyone is expected to attend the church of his choice every Sunday. Be sure to check your watch with the college clock. Don't be afraid to make mistakes; just don't let it be- come a bad habit. Bad work for the first semester 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 own Pac?e Fifty 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 for the fear of being unpleasant. Chronic borrowers do not make good friends. Enjoy the chapel periods don't be discourteous by studying when we have a guest speaker. Class spirit makes a college spirit !
