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, LaG range.

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

oflife,

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.

MATRICULATION PLEDGE

In recognition of the obligations andpriv-
ileges of membership in the student body of
LaGrange College, I pledge myself to con-
form to all regulations and laws of the
College; to obey its constituted authorities;
to live by the Code of Honor; and to con-
duct myself at all times in such a manner
as will reflect credit on the College. I realize
that failure to comply with this pledge will
subject me to dismissal from the College.

WAIGHTS G. HENRY, JR.
President

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.

DR. C. LEE HARWELL
Academic Dean

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
Academic Dean

MARY KIRK KELLY
Dean of Women

AL MARIOTTI

Dean of Men

My Greetings to New Students at LaGrange College

I am so happy to welcome you and to invite you
to join me in learning of all of the traditions of The
Hill. We'll pledge ourselves to honor and to preserve
its worthy philosophies and practices, which inevitably
develop in an institution so old. If you will allow,
LaGrange will give you a rich heritage, which in-
cludes respect for excellence and for seeking to fulfill
ideals.

Do call on me as soon as you can. I shall look
forward to knowing you.

Cordially yours,
(Mrs.) Mary Kirk Kelly
Dean of Women

To All Men Students

You are undertaking a vital step in the growth
process. Success in life, like success in any sport, is
a frame of mind. More people fail mentally than fail
physically. The boy who acquires the proper mental
attitude soon realizes that successful people are made,
not born.

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

MILLARD MARTIN
President

Student Government Association

As a representative of the student body, it is a
pleasure to welcome you to LaGrange College. The
years you spend in college will be four of the most
meaningful years in your life, and I believe that you
have made a wise decision in choosing LaGrange
College in which to spend these important years.

We are proud of the privilege of self-government
which we are able to exercise through our Student
Government Association, for we feel that it offers the
students the opportunity of becoming responsible in-
dividuals. We hope that you will share with us your
ideas, and that you will, as a vital member of the
Student Government Association, give us your sincere
support and cooperation.

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

Sincerely yours,
Millard Martin

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
Government, 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
governed 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 associa-

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.

the record of the case and the presence of at least one

authority of the college shall be vested in the college
President. He shall make the final decision in all judi-
cial, legislative, or executive branches of the govern-

to such an extent that he deems it necessary to reor-
ganize that government, then he may call a joint ses-
sion of the legislature. Upon the absence of the Pres-
ident from the college, the Academic Dean assumes the
responsibilities of the President's action upon laws.

It shall be within the jurisdiction of the Judicial
Council to interpret the meaning of the constitution
and to pass on the constitutionality of all rules, reg-
ulations and proposals of the Student Government.

It shall be within the jurisdiction of the Judicial
Council to recommend the expulsion of a student, but
only the President of the college or the Academic Dean,
in the absence of the President, shall have the final
power to exact such a penalty. In the event of the
recommendation of expulsion by the Judicial Council,
the President shall review the case himself and make
his decision as soon as possible. In other verdicts and
penalties, the decision of the Judicial Council is final.

Section 3. Procedure

The members of the Judicial Council should be ap-
pointed by the stated committee in time for them to be
sworn into office with the other councils of the Student
Government Association. On the day they are sworn
in (and immediately following their installation) the
members of the Judicial Council shall convene and
elect its chairman and recorder. The president of the
student body shall serve as chairman until one is
elected.

When the Judicial Council is notified of a rule in-
fraction or an appeal to its jurisdiction, the person
bringing the charge shall act as prosecuting attorney.
The defendant to be brought before the council may
state his own case or choose another person to state
it for him. Witnesses may be called in by the council
to present evidence for either side of the case.

19

A council member may not serve as a prosecuting
or a defense attorney, although he may, at the discre-
tion of the council, step down and serve as a witness.

It shall be the duty of the chairman of the Judicial
Council to have struck from the record any statement

About Your Student Christian Association

The Student Christian Association is the only organ-
ization 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
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 committee
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 student body, both as a total group and as indi-
vidual members. Some of the activities include weekly
vesper services and religious services for special oc-
casions; 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
Christian 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.

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, and the W. A. A. Council is the
governing body of the organization. The W. A. A. Coun-
cil, except for the sororitv 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

The W. A. A. Council urges every girl to participate
in the sports program in order to earn points for a
letter "L~ or a medal award. Sorority representatives
are to keep an accurate record of points earned by
individuals. 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 includ-
ing timekeepers and scorekeepers; 50 points for
captain of team.

2. 25 points for every game sororitv team wins.

All men registered as students in LaGrange College
are members of the Men's Athletic Association. The
governing body of the M.A.A., except for the fraternity
representatives, is elected by the student body.

The M.A.A., in coordination with the Intramural
Director, forms and regulates the intramural sports
program of LaGrange College. The program is planned
to offer to every man an opportunity to compete in
some form of competitive sports. We are more interested
in the men participating than in who wins the game.

During the year competition takes place in football,
basketball, volleyball, and Softball. Swimming, tennis,
and track events will also be organized if the school
calendar permits.

Points will be awarded for each competitive sport

in the following manner:

First place in major sport 300 points

Second place in major sport 200 points

Third place in major sport 100 points

First place in minor sport 150 points

Second place in minor sport 100 points

Third place in minor sport 50 points

The organization accumulating the greatest number
of points will receive an Intramural Sports Trophy.

The fraternity proved superior in athletics at La-
Grange College will also be working toward the E.
A. Bailey Award, which is given to the fraternity
outstanding in scholarship, leadership, and athletics.

If you are entering LaGrange College for the first
time, we want to take this opportunity to welcome
you. You will find that LaGrange is a friendly school.
Fair play, good sportsmanship, and consideration and
respect for others are important in all phases of college
life and especially of the intramural program. We hope
that it will be possible for you to participate actively
in organized intramural sport competition and that you
will avail yourself of some of the opportunities which
will be announced for free-play and for the practice
of your favorite sport activities.

Publications

THE HILLTOP NEWS

Editor Fred Brown

Business Manager Drue Linton

The College's student newspaper gets its name from
the campus location, its staff members from the student
body, and its content from campus activities. Started
only five years ago, it became a weekly publication
in 1962. Published in convenient tabloid form, it is
financed by business advertisements and, to a certain
extent, by your student activity fee.

Purpose of The Hilltop News is to report honestly,
accurately, and thoroughly news which is of interest to
the college community and to comment editorially with
carefully considered and well-supported opinions on
matters which concern the well-being of the college. It
presents news and pictures of general school activities,
and sports and social events, along with other interest-
ing features.

THE QUADRANGLE

Editor Jenny Dorough

Business Manager Laura Johnston

Memories of your college life will come to mind in
after years through the pages of the Quadrangle, the
LaGrange College yearbook. The annual publication,
dating back to 1914, contains a visual and verbal
record of the College, including activities, organiza-
tions, sports, social life, and traditions. It also features
some of the smaller and lighter segments of campus
life which, nevertheless, are so important in making
LaGrange College Spirit what it is.

Work on this publication is divided among students
interested in photography, art, writing, and advertising.

THE SCROLL

General Information

PROBATION REGULATIONS

1. PURPOSE. A student may be placed on proba-
tion whenever the character of his work indicates that
either by reason of inadequate preparation, insufficient
maturity, and other such cause or by reason of negli-
gence, inattention to duty, absences, and other such
cause, he is in danger of failing to reach the standard
of work needed for attaining the bachelor's degree.

2. NOTIFICATION. A student on probation and
the student's parents shall be notified and shall have
their attention called to the laws governing probation.
Thereafter, infraction of these laws shall render the
student subject to dismissal.

3. RESTRICTIONS. A student on probation shall
be expected to concentrate his energies upon bringing
his work to the standard required and to that end:

He shall be prohibited from any absence from class.
All class absences by a student on probation must be
dealt with by the absence committee, and the absence
committee is empowered to exclude a student who fails
to cooperate.

He shall be encouraged to discontinue all activities
which might militate against successful academic work.
He may, however, be allowed to participate in certain
activities, in accordance with conditions approved by
faculty and administration.

4. CONDITIONS. The following shall be placed on
probation:

a. A student who fails to pass 60% of the work at-
tempted or to attain a quarterly grade-point aver-
age of:

1.0 if he is a freshman;

1.3 if a sophomore;

1.6 if a junior;

1.8 if a senior;

and/or a cumulative grade-point average of:

1.3 when he has earned 45 hours of acade-
mic work;

1.6 for 90 hours;

1.8 for 135 hours; and

2.0 for 180 hours.

45

b. A transfer who is eligible for admission to La-
Grange College but who comes to this institution
with less than a 1.9 quality point average.

c. A student who has less than a 1.6 grade-point
average and does not attain the rank of junior in
seven full quarters or who has less than a 2.0
grade-point average and does not graduate in
thirteen full quarters.

A student may remove himself from probation by
meeting the minimum requirements indicated in the
above regulations governing probationary status.

5. SUSPENSION AND EXCLUSION. Regulations
governing suspension and exclusion are as follows:

a. A student who, at the end of any quarter, has
passed no academic work shall be excluded.

b. A student who fails to remove himself from pro-
bation within two quarters is required to exer-
cise one of these two options:

(1) Accept suspension for a minimum of one
quarter and then be readmitted on proba-
tion for one quarter, during which time he
must remove himself from probationary sta-
tus; or

(2) Continue on probation and remain in resi-
dence for one quarter, during which time he
must remove himself from probationary sta-
tus.

In either case, the student must notify the Dean,
in writing, which option he chooses. If he ac-
cepts suspension and does work at other institu-
tions, LaGrange will not grant him credit for
this study, either toward his removal from pro-
bation or toward his degree. Furthermore, if the
student fails to meet the requirements of which-
ever option he elects, he shall be excluded.

c. Any student excluded for academic reasons shall
be debarred from readmission to LaGrange Col-
lege.

d. A student shall be debarred from further registra-
tion after he has failed to earn a degree in sixteen
full quarters.

The regulations governing probation, suspension and
exclusion shall apply to the part-time student except
when, in the judgment of the Dean, an obvious injus-
tice to that student is involved.

HINTS TO THE FRESHMEN

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

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

At the beginning of school every woman student
will need a semi-formal dress for the Student Govern-
ment Association reception and white dress for the
S.C.A. installation.

You are expected to attend the church of your 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
appropriate street clothes in town.

Pay all dues on time.

Remember that you reflect your home. Also, your
good name and the good name of your college are
represented 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.

You must furnish your own broom, mop, dust pan,
iron, and ironing board.

School supplies and miscellaneous items may be
bought in .the campus bookstore.

Class spirit makes a college spirit!

If you can't play a sport, then be one and support
the LaGrange College Panthers!
