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. 5 LAGRANGE COLLEGE CALENDAR 1963-64 September 12-14 September 14 September 15 September 16-19 September 18 \pntpmnpr OCLHCIIILKZI 19 September 20 September 21 September 24 September 25 kjcpiCIIlUCI 25 26 September 28 October 8 October 11 October 11-12 October 21 October 22 October 23-24 October 25 October 26 November 8- 9 November 12 November 15-16 November 19-20 November 26 November 27 December 2 December 9 December 10 December 11-14 FALL QUARTER - 1963 Pre-school planning conference for faculty Pre-school planning conference for student leaders Dormitories and dining hall open to all new students Orientation and required testing for freshmen and new transfer students Dormitories and dining hall open to old students (freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors who were in attendance Spring Quarter, 1963 ).

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. 9 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 10 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 11 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.

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. tion. 13 CONSTITUTION OF STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION OF LAGRANGE COLLEGE Preamble Whereas, we the students of LaGrange College de- siring to assume individual and community responsi- bilities in the life and conduct of the college, do here- by, in accordance with the power granted by the ad- ministration and faculty, organize ourselves into an association based upon the system of honor, with a pledge to uphold its ideals and its laws.

On the day of the trial, the trial procedure set forth in Article VII, Section 3, paragraphs 1,3, and 4 is to be followed. The chairman of the Judicial Council is in charge of proceedings.

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. 35 President Jane Johnson Vice President Sue Goethe Secretary Mildred Eidson Treasurer Amelia McKoy Sorority Representatives: Alpha Kappa Theta Jane Wilbanks Alpha Phi Beta Brenda Mulling Kappa Phi Delta Donna Howell 36 The Women's Athletic Association of LaGrange Col- lege strives to create team cooperation and a spirit of good sportsmanship.

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. 46 Regulations of the William and Evelyn Banks Library HOURS: Fall, Winter, and Spring Monday through Friday 7:50 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., 7:00 - 10:00 p.m. Saturday 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon, 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. CIRCULATING MATERIALS: BOOKS Rules for Borrowing All books may be used within the library.

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!
