THE LAGRANGE COLLEGE
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 foiling

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.

at LaGrange College

We welcome you into the student body of the oldest
independent 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 accomplishment 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 en-
courage all students to take an active part in the activi-
ties of a local church. In the classroom and the labora-
tories, 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
Government 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.

As 'Dean of LaGrange College and as a spokesman
for the faculty, I extend to you a sincere welcome.

In reality, it is the quality of its academic program
that distinguishes one college from another. Our ac-
ademic goal at LaGrange College is one of excellence
within the framework of the liberal arts tradition, and
we hope that this is one of the important reasons for
your choosing to join our academic community.

Recognizing that your heritage at LaGrange College
is a rich one, you should also realize that the present
day presents real challenges which can only be met by
each student's seeking excellence by doing his best.

Sincerely yours,
C. Lee Harwell
Dean

AL MARIOTTI
Dean of Men

You are undertaking a vital step in the growth pro-
cess. Success in life, like success in any sport, is a
frame of mind. More people fail mentally than fail phy-
sically. The boy who acquires the proper mental atti-
tude soon realizes that successful people are made, not
born.

The road to success is not easy, but it is especially
difficult for the person who thinks it can be attained by
some "hocus-pocus " method.

You must resolve to be honest with yourself and
pursue your course to the very end, if you hope to
acquire the mental attitudes that will prove beneficial
to you in life. The pay-off goes to the boy who does
not overlook any detail that contributes to success.
He pays special attention to his weaknesses, keeps an
open mind, and tests especially those ideas he is in-
clined to doubt. Failure is the lot of the boy who
thinks he knows all the answers, while success comes
to the boy who is inclined to listen to wise counsel.

Sincerely yours,
Al Mariotti
Dean of Men

A hearty welcome to you!

It is a great pleasure to welcome you into a long
procession of students who have carried the influence
of our historic institution to the far corners of the
earth.

Do not think, however, that LaGrange College lives
on her past laurels. The ancient Sanskrit says: "Today
well-lived makes every Yesterday a Dream of Happi-
ness, and every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope." As an
alumna of the college, I treasure many Dreams of
Yesterday. As a new student, you bring to the college
your Visions of Tomorrow, which will become realities
as you participate in the many and varied aspects of
life on The Hill.

Please find your way immediately to the office in
Smith Hall, and please use it often during the school
year!

Cordially yours,
Margaret Hall

As President of the Student Government Association

for you to become a part of this fellowship.

We are all looking forward to meeting you and we
do hope your years at LaGrange College will be very
successful.

Purpose of the Student Government

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
faculty, directs all matters pertaining to student affairs
and gives to each student the opportunity to live as an
honorable and unselfish citizen in a community gov-
erned by him and his fellow students.

The Student Government Association annually elects
an Executive Council to represent the student body and
to determine and carry out the policies of the associ-
ation.

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, stu-
dent government will continue to be a government of
the students, by the students, and for the students.

About Your Student Christian Association

The Student Christian Association is the only or-
ganization at LaGrange College which is directly affili-
ated 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
purpose 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 com-
mittee 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 in-
terest to all students; and plans- are flexible in that they
can be altered to meet the unforeseen needs of the stu-
dent body, both as a total group and as individual
members. Some of the activities include weekly vesper
services and religious services for special occasions;
special community projects; participation in the area
and regional Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. con-
ferences; participation in the World University Service;
and informal recreation and parties which seek to meet
the recreational needs of the campus through Christ-
ian fellowship.

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.

College strives to create team cooperation and a spirit
of good sportsmanship.

Every woman student is a member of the Women's
Athletic Association and the W. A. A. Council is the
governing body of the organization. The W.A.A. Coun-
cil, except for the sorority representatives, is elected by
the student body.

The W.A.A. sponsors and has charge of a Stunt
Night competition between classes, May Day activities,
and Inter-sorority sports competition. Girls who are
medically excused from physical education classes are
not eligible to participate in the sports competition.

The Inter-sorority sports program consists of one
major or team sport and one or more minor or indi-
vidual sports per quarter.

Trophies, cups, and medals are awarded to sorority
teams and individuals winning the competition. A
trophy is given to the winner of each major sport and
points are also awarded. The sorority having accum-
ulated the most points and having the required amount
of 60% participation will be awarded the trophy sig-
nifying the over-all winner for the year. This is a ro-
tating trophy. If any sorority should win it three years
in a row, it becomes their permanent possession and
another one is put into circulation.

The point system used in awarding the trophy is as
follows:

First place in major sport 50 points

Second place in major sport 30 points

First place in minor sport 30 points

Second place in minor sport 20 points

Letters and Awards

in the sports program in order to earn points for a let-
ter "L" or a medal award. Sorority representatives are
to keep an accurate record of points earned by individ-
uals. Points may be carried over from one year to the
next. A total of 700 points is required for a letter or
medal, and another medal or a star will be awarded
for each additional 700 points earned. A girl may
choose which award she wants an "L" or a medal.
These awards are presented at a banquet during
Spring Quarter.

Point system to be used in earning individual
awards:

1. 100 points for qualified team members
including timekeepers and scorekeepers; 50

Hints to the Freshman

Be wise Learn your handbook as soon as you get
to College!

If you don't know, ask those who do know. Curious
freshmen make wise sophomores.

At the beginning of school every girl will need a
semi-formal dress for the Student Government Associ-
ation reception and white dress for the S.C.A. instal-
lation.

Every one is expected to attend the church of his
choice every Sunday.

Be sure to check your watch with the college clock.

Bad work for the first quarter may handicap you
through the whole year.

It is good taste to freshen up for dinner and to wear
