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.

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.

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.

Greetings to New Students

To new students we offer a glad welcome to LaGrange
College. You will find that the other students who have
preceded you here will extend a hand of friendship and
accept you as fellow-pilgrims on a journey of high signifi-
cance.

LaGrange College places emphasis upon quality. Our
faculty is carefully selected. The professors are well-
trained and serious, and are here to lead you into new
worlds of learning. They are Christian in philosophy and
methods. You will be proud to associate with them.

Campus organizations offer you opportunities for per-
sonality development. Through some of them you may
learn to express your higher nature in worship and artis-
tic performance. Through others you develop your social
nature and athletic prowess.

We work together in all we do for the strengthening of
a fine institution of higher education and for the enrich-
ment of every life here. In all we do we give normal em-
phasis to the place of Jesus Christ, the Master of Life, in
our undertakings.

We are glad that you will be with us.

Sincerely yours,

Waights G. Henry, Jr.

Greetings to the Students

Greetings to you to you who have been at LaGrange
in the past and in a special way to the freshmen and
transfer students who come for the first time. I join
others in welcoming you to the warm, friendly relation-
ships that are found on the Hill.

We are glad to have you as students because of what
we can offer you and of what you bring to us. What you
get from college life will depend in a large measure on
what you bring. If you want friends, you should be friend-
ly. If you want others to share with you, you should share
with them.

We have a well-rounded program at LaGrange. We
have provision for physical, social, intellectual, and spirit-
ual development through the activities of each day. As
you enter college you begin a new chapter in the story of
your life. May the story be one of which you and all may
be proud.

Sincerely yours,
Verdie Miller

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.

About Your Student Christian

Association

The center of religious activities on the LaGrange Col-
lege campus is the Student Christian Association, which is
affiliated with the National Y.M.C.A. and the National
Y.W.C.A. and participates in the World Student Christian

Federation.

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.

About Your VV. A. A.

The Women's Athletic Association of LaGrange Col-
lege strives to create team cooperation and a spirit of
good sportsmanship.

Every woman student is a member of the Women's
Athletic Association. The W. A. A. Council promotes all
the activities, but the mterest and participation of each of
you is needed for a successful year.

The Association sponsors May Day, Field Day, Stunt
Night, the faculty-student volley ball game, and other
sports and recreation during the year.

Everyone is urged to work for a college letter by ac-
cumulating the required number of points as specified in
the point system. All those receiving letters become mem-
bers of the "L" Club. Trophies and cups are awarded to
sororities, fraternities, and individuals for winners of
Field Day events.

You are a vital part of the Women's Athletic Associ-
ation. We want each of you to participate in our sports

tion with the Inter-fraternity oports Council which regu-
lates the men's athletic activities on the Hill.

Customs and Traditions

College traditions make college life worthwhile. 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.

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

Page 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 !
