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.

WAIGHTS G. HENRY, JR.
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.

To The New Students
We are delighted to have you become a part of LaGrange
College. We want you to feel, from the very first, the warm
welcome for you that is in the heart of everyone here.
May the days that you spend "on the hill" contribute
much toward helping you to attain the goals that you have set
for yourself; or if you are one of the many who has not yet
been able to set your goals, may your days here help you to
know what it is that you wish to do with your life.
LaGrange College will offer you a stimulating curriculum,
a challenging extra-curricular program, and a happy social
life. Of course what you receive from this program depends,
to a great extent, upon what and how much you contribute.
We anticipate a real contribution on your part. We want the
years that you spend here to be rich and satisfying.
You will always find the "welcome mat" out at my office
door. Come in at any time that you wish or need to do so.
We eagerly anticipate your arrival.
Sincerely yours,
Margaret W. Talbott
(Mrs. George W. Talbott)

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 an honorable
and unselfish citizen in a community goverened 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 Student Christian Association is the only organization
at LaGrange College which is directly affiliated with the
National Student Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and thus with
the World Student Christian Federation. Through participation
in the S. C. A. each student can be a part of a national and
international movement of college students who are concerned
about life and its meaning.
Each student at LaGrange College who accepts the pur-
pose of the S. C. A. becomes a member. Because most of the
work of the S. C. A. is carried on through committees, it is
important that each student choose at the first of the year
the committee on which he will serve. Opportunity will be
given to all students during S. C. A. Week to become familiar
with the committees and to join one.
Each new student has been given an S. C. A. friend whose
desire it is to help his friend to find his place at L. C. and to
learn of the various activities which will be carried on.
The range of activities sponsored by the S. C. A. is broad.
In this scope we hope to have things of interest to all students.
Plans are flexible in that they can be altered to meet the un-
foreseen needs of the student body, the S. C. A.'s members.
Some of the activities are: weekly vesper services and re-
ligious services for special occasions; support of a Polish
boy, Darij, through the Foster Parent Plan; special com-
munity projects; participation in the World University Ser-
vice; participation in Area and Regional Y. M. C. A. and
Y. W. C. A. conferences; and informal recreation and parties.
In all of its activities, the S. C. A. attempts to offer op-
portunities for spiritual growth and to realize the ideals of
Christianity in our campus community.

ABOUT YOUR W. A. A.
The Women's Athletic Association of LaGrange College
strives to create team cooperation and a spirit of good sports-
manship.

letic Association. The W. A. A. Council promotes all the activi-
ties, but the interest and participation of each of you is need-

Customs and Traditions
College traditions make college life worthwhile. 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 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 adminis-
tration and faculty.
The Junior Class honors their brother-sister Class, the
Freshmen, with a party at the beginning of school.
During Orientation the Athletic Association gives a weiner
roast at Pine Mountain for the new students.
To climax S. C. A. Week a party is given for the new
students.
Early in October the Freshmen are joined to their brother-
sister class by means of the Junior-Freshman Wedding; im-
mediately following, the new students sign their pledges and
officially 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 relationship
between the classes is one of the treasured aspects of our
college life.
The local sororities and fraternities, which everyone has
the privilege to join, provide social activities for the students.
Bids are sent out a time designated by the Inter-Sorority and
Inter-Fraternity Council.
The Sophomores honor their brother-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 singing is
followed by a Communion Service.
Page Fifty-Four
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 quarter 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- Five
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!
If you can't play a sport then be one and support the
LaGrange College Panthers!
