1959- 1960 STUDENT HANDBOOK LAGRANGE COLLEGE LaGrange, Georgia 1959 - 1960 Presented by STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION To Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2014 https://archive.org/details/studenthandbookl1959lagr 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.

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. 1 1 Page Nine MRS. MARGARET W. TALBOTT Dean of Women Page Ten 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) Page Eleven ORGANIZATIONS Page Thirteen Student Government Association CAROLYN BABB President Student Government Association Student Council President Carolyn Babb Men's Vice-President Donnie Murphy Senior Vice-President Shirley Fowler Junior Vice-President Ann Gower Junior Vice-President Emily Mitchell Secretary Martha Green Treasurer Andy Owen Senior Representative Ann Kerce Junior Representative Mary George Dean Sophomore Representative Ann Monroe Men's Representatives Ray Barfield, Bryan Dobbs, Renfroe Watson Town Girls' Representatives Nancy Haynes, Emily Paxton Town Boys' Representatives Jimmie Fred Bowles Honorary Members Louise Ayres, Mavis Sprayberry, Jimmy Johnson 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 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.

Page Forty- Five 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.

The Women's Athletic Association of LaGrange College strives to create team cooperation and a spirit of good sports- manship. Every woman student is a member of the Women's Ath- letic Association. The W. A. A. Council promotes all the activi- ties, but the interest and participation of each of you is need- ed 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 accumulat- ing the required number of points as specified in the point system. Each student is urged to keep a personal record of the points she accumulates from the first of the school year till after Field Day. 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 Association. Page Forty-Nine We want each of you to participate in our sports program and enjoy the recreation during the year.

It was organized during the second semester of last year. The purpose of the organization is to set up and regu- late the intramural athletics program for the men on campus. Page Fifty-Three 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!
