STUDENT HANDBOOK LAGRANGE COLLEGE LaGrange, Georgia 1958 - 1959 Presented by STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION BANKS LIBRARY LAGRANGE COLLEGE LAGRANGE, GEORGIA Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2014 https://archive.org/details/studenthandbookl1958lagr 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; knd 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.

President To The New Students At LaGrange College We welcome you into the student body of the oldest in- dependent institution of higher education in the state of Georgia. We look upon ourselves as a team that works in harmony and a spirit of mutual helpfulness for the ac- complishment of definite purposes. Here at LaGrange we apply to our daily living all of those principles that we feel will enrich our lives for the years to come. For us there is a time to play, a time to study, a time to enrich our cultural experiences, and a time to worship. The student that early learns to apportion his time and make best use of the hours in any given day will be the one who is happiest in his work and who will ultimately graduate from the college with the best education. LaGrange is a Christian college. While there are no requirements on the students that they must attend church school or worship services on Sunday, we encourage all students to take an active part in the activities of a local church. In the classroom and the laboratories, as well as in the library, we believe in earnest hard work. In fact, we believe that it is as religious to study as it is to pray, if the time to study is at hand. The administration, the faculty, and the Student Gov- ernment Council are at your service at all times to render counsel, advice, and encouragement that will assist you in making your adjustments to college life and to aid you in your progress. We look forward to your being with us. Sincerely yours, Waights G. Henry, Jr. Page Nfne MRS. MARGARET W. TALBOTT Dean of Women To The Students At LaGrange College It is to be my happy privilege this year to serve you in the capacity of Dean of Women at LaGrange College. It is my sincere belief that by applying to our lives the principles upon which this college was founded and has operated since 1831 we can make of ourselves useful, worthwhile citizens; and happy, well-adjusted individuals. 1 will be at LaGrange College to perform some duties, but I will also be there to render service to you at any time and in any way that you might need me. Please feel confident that I shall strive at all times to be most ethical in our dealings. I want you for my friend I want to be your friend. It is with eager anticipation that I look forward to our association together at LaGrange College. Sincerely yours, Margaret W. Talbott (Mrs. George) Page Eleven ORGANIZATIONS Page Thirteen Student Government Association MALONE DODSON President Student Government Association Student Council President Malone Dodson Men's Vice-President John Hampton Senior Vice-President Mary Ansley Junior Vice-President Marian Chapman Junior Vice-President Donna Hiers Secretary Rochelle Clifton Treasurer Marilyn Neal Senior Representative Mary Floyd Junior Representative Carolyn Babb Sophomore Representative Bobbie Jean Cobb Men's Representatives Paul Bugg George Pullen, Sherrill Spencer Town Girl's Representatives Gwen Reeves Mary Ann Traylor Town Boy's Representative Mike Frosolono Honorary Members Barbara Carter Betty Jo Croom Two Freshmen Representatives to be elected. 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 Forty- Five 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 participates in the World Student Christian Federation. Every student matriculated in the college who is willing 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 become adjusted to life at LaGrange College. Much 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 oppor- tunity for Christian service. Vesper services and morn- ing and nightly meditation are sponsored by this organiza- tion. The S. C. A. supports a Polish war orphan, partici- pates in the World University Service, gives a Christmas party for the college servants, sponsors Christmas carol- ing 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.

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 interest 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 ac- cumulating the required number of points as specified in the point system. Each student is urged to keep a per- sonal record of the points she accumulates from the first of the school year til after Field Day. Trophies and cups are awarded to sororities, fra- ternities, 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 program and enjoy the recreation during the year. Page Fifty 12. Stars will be awarded only after a letter has been won. 400 points are required.

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 ser- Page Fifty-Two vants 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 Fifty-Three 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 weai appropriate street clothes in town. Pay all dues on time. Remember that you reflect your home. Also, your own Page Fifty- Four good name and the good name of your college are repre- sented by your actions. Honcr 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! If you can't play a sport then be one and support the LaGrange College Panthers! Page Fifty- Five DA/Nlxb LIBRARY LAGRANGE COLLEGE LAGRANGE, GEORGIA Student Directory President of Student Body .V.
