TO OUR NEW GIRLS TO BE

Welcome, dear new girls of 1926-1927. It is
primarily to welcome you that we are sending
this little book; then next, it is to try to impart
to you a little bit of the spirit of LaGrange Col-
lege even before you arrive on the Hill. We want
you to read every page carefully, even to the
covers, which are, as you see, our college colors,
red and black.

The Young Women's Christian Association,
Student Government Association, and indeed all
the organizations of our school need ^ou, your
help, and your enthusiasm. We want you to
share all of our joys^esu "and our sorrows, too,
which are so few in (KmiWrison to the joys that
they can hardly be caMe sorrows at all.

Remember, LaGrange h already a fine,
splendid college, one of the finest and foremost
in the South; but we^wpit to Wk$ this year the
greatest and best that it hais-CTer l^nown. We
are glad that you i re going to help '^s.

The doors of LaGrange ^re open ta you. We
gladly bid you center.

THE SPIRIT OK LAGRANGE COLLEGE

i

A great heritage^ 0urs in being students of
LaGrange College. I'Many wonderful gifts have
been left us by \t]>^p' students of other years-
gifts that will las4^foVever and not fade with the
giving. \

The greatest thinAthat has ever been created
on ''College Hill" is t\e LaGrange College spirit,
How undefinable, and yet how real a thing it is!

3

How powerful in the life of every LaGrange girl!

It seems to us that no other institution of learn-
ing has ever sent out from its halls women more
loyal to their Alma Mater than has LaGrange
College.

This LaGrange spirit seems to be something
lasting. It grips the very soul and holds stead-
fastly not just through four years of college, but
through life.

At a recent meeting of one of our Alumnae
Chapters, held in a small Georgia town, some very
old women were present. It is said that their eyes
shone with a different light and they even forgot
their infirmities when the words "LaGrange Col-
lege" were spoken. What is it which fills their
very souls and makes their whole being throb
with this spirit of love for our college?

It is the fact that they have learned to appre-
ciate and understand the high ideals and stand-
ards for which LaGrange College has always
stood. It is because they have been loyal and
true to those high ideals and have been made
better for it. It is because of the lasting friend-
ships and hallowed associations connected with
the College.

Shall not we w ho are here now keep this spirit
of love for L. C. imbedded deep in our hearts,
and shall we not manifest this love by being loyal
to our work, to our faculty, to our student gov-
ernment, and to every organization on the hill?

We must keep burning this spirit of loyalty in
order to give the students of future years the
same great heritage that has been ours.

THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION

The Student Government Association, based
on powers and laws granted by the President and
Faculty has control of all matters pertaining to
the conduct and social life of the students. Each
student should learn to appreciate that the least
disregard of the rules on her part means extra
care upon her fellow students, who, though con-
scientiously assuming office under the Associa-
tion, have yet to come to College to enjoy and
make use of the advantages that LaGrange Col-
lege offers. The life and work of the College is
based on the Honor System and this system ap-
plies not only to the rules and regulations con-
cerning conduct, but to mid-year and final exam-
inations, monthly and weekly tests, and to all
written work such as note-books and themes.

7

For the success of this system, it is essential
that each student have embedded in her charac-
ter, and exemplified in her life the fundamental
principles of truth and honesty. With the grant-
ing of the charter, there was entrusted to each
student the keeping of her own honor and the
honor of the College. We look to her to keep
and guard this sacred trust in all of her college
relations.

As long as this College endures, may its Student
Government, founded on honor, truth, co-opera-
tion and service, stand for all that is finest and
best in the college life, and may every student be
a better woman, a better servant of humanity
because of her membership in the Student Gov-
ernment Association of LaGrange College.

"Self reverence, self knowledge, self control;
These three alone lead life to sovereign power,
Yet not for power (power of herself
Would come uncall'd for) but to live by law,
Acting the law we live by without fear;
And, because right is right, to follow right
Were wisdom in the score of consequence. "

This is the spirit of Student Government and
may it be the spirit of each one of you.

THE L. C. GIRLS' CREED

Life is mine to live. That I may cherish it

And right royally meet it 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 sorrow, and
Strength 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.

Honor

"The greatest thing in the world is Honor. For it,
men die that the heritage of the future may be kept
clean. To say that a person is honorable is the highest
tribute that can be paid to a human being it is crown-
ing one's character with the brightest laurels. 'It is
Honor that keeps us clean; clean so that we can face
our mothers and our fathers and our God without
shame, and say that we played the game square. '

In our college, Honor means more to us than any-
thing else. It is something within ourselves that swells
up and overflows, binding us together with ties stronger
than iron bands. Honor holds up our hands and we
lift higher and yet higher the standards of our college.
Irrevocably held together by Honor, let us go onward
and upward with happy hearts and smiling faces. '

BLUE RIDGE

We look on College as a fulfillment of all our

high ideals and of broad vision. That place is
Blue Ridge, in the mountains of North Carolina.
Blue Ridge is where Y. W. C. A. Conference,
which is held each year after College closes, meets.
All members of the Association have the privilege
of going. The South Atlantic and South Central
Fields of the Y. W. C. A. are represented there.

promoting the spiritual atmosphere of the Col-
lege.

its activities to bring her into closer fellowship
with other students.

each girl intellectually as well as spiritually.

ganization in the College.

HOW TO HELP OUR Y. W. C. A.

3. "Be a worker, not a shirker or a jerker" in
the Association.

3. Be a genuine "Pollyanna" at all times.

FOLLOW THE GLEAM

To the Knights in the days of old,

Keeping watch on the mountain heights,

Came a vision of Holy Grail

And a voice through the waiting night.
Follow, follow, follow the gleam
Banners unfurled o'er all the world,
Follow, follow, follow the gleam
Of the Chalice that is the Grail.

And we who would serve the King,

And loyally Him obey;

In the consecrate silence know

That the challenge still holds today.
Follow, follow, follow the gleam
Standards of worth o'er all the earth,
Follow, follow, follow the gleam
Of the light that shall bring the dawn.

Secretary.
Treasurer.

The Athletic Association is one that concerns the
physical well being of each girl in college. To be a
well rounded college girl you must take part in every
phase of college life. Each class has a team in basket-
ball, base-ball, tennis, and as many teams as possible
will be organized. If you can play in these games, do
so, for your class will greatly need you. If you don't
know how, learn, because you want to help your class
as much as you can. The dues are only fifty cents an-
nually.

The Forum of Democracy, comprising the entire
student body, was organized for a four-fold purpose;
first, to acquaint every student in LaGrange College
with vital questions of the day pertaining to human re-
lationships, on the college campus, in rural and urban
communities, in the state, in the^najaon, in the world
at large; secori7l>^encourag|^v?Sf student to reflect
upon these problen^s in a sprit oiyearnestness, liber-
ality, and Christian love ; vttiiSp/to develop in every
student the power of expres^n^^er convictions with
fluency and force; and fourth>4SQj stimulate in every
student a keen desire to shoulder her personal respon-
sibilities as a citizen of America and of the greater
Republic of God.

The Forum is divided into two sections, the Arcadi-
ans and the Utopians, each of which is divided into five
groups. All of the officers and group leaders of the
Forum meet in a Normal School every Thursday even-
ing for the purpose of receiving training to lead the
separate groups at their meeting on Saturday evenings.

Another division of the Forum is the Honorary Debat-
ing Society known as the Forum Club, consisting of two
Arcadians and two Utopians to be elected the third
week in April by the two college classes that shall make
the best record during the course of the regular
monthly debates.

It is the plan of the Forum to have several outside
speakers during the year.

The Forum is a member of the Southern Interna-
tional Relations Club.

The dues, included in the blanket activity fee, are
one dollar a year.

LITERARY SOCIETIES

IRENIAN

This Society is the older and larger society, having
been established during the early '70's. It meets every
two weeks on Saturday nights. This society has for
its purpose the training and development of students;
and the programs relate to the topics of foremost in-
terest.

MEZZOFANTIAN

"Hail! Hail! the Black and Gold!

The dear old colors we uphold;
We're Mezzofantian through and through,

Always faithful, loyal and true. "

New girls bring energy and life to an organization
and we want new girls every year! The Mezzofantian
Literary Society can repay every bit of spirit and pep
a girl gives by giving her something of the grand old
Mezzofantian spirit. Mezzo night finds every Mezzo in
her place, enthusiastic and eager. The programs are
of literary nature, varied with musical and imprompt u
numbers. The spirit of co-operation within the society
successfully meets the pleasant rivalry between the
societies.

Since 1887 the Mezzofantians have been improving,
and every Mezzo, new or old, feels a thrill of pride and
love for the dear old Black and Gold.

QUILL DRIVERS' CLUB

The Quill Drivers' Club is one of the most honorary
clubs on the hill. To become a member you must have
some literary ability. The main purpose of the club is
to edit the college paper.

30

OTHER ORGANIZATIONS

DRAMATIC CLUB

The Dramatic Club is composed of students of the
Expression Department and others who may be voted
into the club because of outstanding dramatic ability.

Programs and plays are given during the year under
the direction of the Expression Department. The club
contributes much to the social and literary activities of
the College.

GLEE CLUB

The College Glee Club is composed of the best voices
of the College, under the direction of the Voice Depart-
ment. Several concerts are given throughout the year,
in preparation for which the girls receive some very
thorough training in voice,

Each spring the club goes on a state tour, and we
hope that this year it will include several out-of-state
cities.

PUBLICATIONS
Scroll

The Scroll is published monthly by the Quill Drivers'
Club and portrays the literary ability of LaGrange Col-
lege, as well as the wit and humor. Exchanges, jokes,
burlesques, the Y. W. corner, news of alumnae, "cute"
articles, and feature stories make the Scroll so attrac-
tive that every one on the hill just counts the days
until time for it to come out.

Keep this book, it is valuable.

Courtesy and respect are due all Student Government
Officers.

Regular course is valuable whether you come to
school one year or four.

Ask questions. It is evidence that you are awake
and alive.

The library is not a forest of whispering leaves. It
is a place for absolute quiet.

Borrowing is a bad disease. Guard against it.

Promptness is an important factor in college life.

A broad education cannot be obtained from textbooks
alone. Take an active interest in college organizations
and athletics.

Don't leave all the work and responsibility to the
officers of the student organizations.

Don't judge everybody by your own standards. There
might be better ones.

Be sure to learn the Student Government rules.
"Ignorence of the law is no excuse."

BULLETIN BOARDS

DO AND DON'TS

1. Do remember that the rules and regulations are
your best friends while at LaGrange College.

2. Don't forget to show Seniors deference; consider
the rights that are justly theirs.

3. Do watch the bulletin boards if you wish to be up
to date in the college world.

4. Do remember that trash cans and not campuses
are made for trash.

5. Don't cut classes. It is easier to keep up than
to catch up.

6. Do be prompt at all meetings, performances, and
entertainments.

7. Do remember always the Honor System.

8. Don't forget to learn the words of the college
songs in the hand-book. They are sung frequently, es-
pecially during the first few days.

9. Don't forget that character is more or less judged
by personal appearance.

10. Don't ever forget to register when leaving the
campus. You will find the registration book on the
table just outside the President's office.

11. Don't forget that it isn't wise to come late to
breakfast.

12. Don't forget that 2:30 to 4:30 on Sunday after-
noon is QUIET PERIOD.

13. Do remember to turn off your light when leaving
your room for any length of time.

14. Don't forget that YOU are held responsible for
every regulation found in this hand-book.

ATTENTION NEW GIRLS! WELCOME TO L. C.
FIRST THINGS TO LEARN!

COLLEGE SONGS

L-a-G-r-a-n-g-e Rah !
Oh, L. C. of '27,

To thee we pay our homage true;
We are thy daughters loyal
In all that thou wouldst have us do.
We cast ourselves before thee,
We raise thy anthems to the sky,
L. C. of '27,

We spread thy glory far and wide.

Oh, L. C. will shine to-night!

L. C. will shine!

Shine in her beauty bright

All down the line.

She's all dressed up to-night,

That's a good sign!

When the sun goes down,

And the moon comes up,

L. C. will shine!

Come lift up your voices and sing to L. C.

LaGrange here's to you!
I'll praise her traditions and glory anew,

LaGrange here's to you!
Here's to old L. C. and here's to her fame,
Here's to the women, who honor her name,
Here's to the red and black always the same.

LaGrange here's to you!

But if you want my heart to burst wide open,
Just mention L. C. days;

Just start me thinking of those girls down yonder

And those L. C. ways;

Where the girls all seem so happy

And they make everybody glad;

37

That's where I want to go
Because I love 'em so.

I've been a-thinking of those good old days gone by
Oh, how I'd like to be back.
Down on L. C. way;

I'd like to wander with you up that hillside

And there I'd like to stay;

I want to see all the girls

And hear the latest news,

But maybe you don't know

About those dog-gone L. C. blues

Oh, I've got 'em,

Say, I've got 'em;

I've got the L. C. blues.

1. March on L. C. with steadfast heart and strong;
March on L. C. with joyous song,
Rejoice, rejoice for vict'ries you have won.
Let loyalty the watch-word be
March on L. C.

CHORUS

For we are marching, marching 'neath the banner
bright;

forward press and win success for dear L. C.
*e are marching, marching rady for the fight
loyalty the watch -word be^ March on L. C.

March oivsL. C. our teachers' lead the way;
March on, n. C. their /wopd obey.
Rejoice, rejoice, for gWy 'waits thy name
Then heed the call, press forward all;
March on, L. C.

3. March on, L. C. nor falter not nor fear;
March on, L. C. our college dear;
Rejoice, rejoice, for victory 'waits thee,
Let all be true and strength renew;
March on, L. C.

38

ALMA MATER

Hail to thee, our Alma Mater;

Guardian of our days;
For thy spirit, never failing

We would sing thy praise.
High aloft we hold thy banner,

Ever loyal, true;
Hail, to thee, our Alma Mater,

Hail to thee, LaGrange.

In thy mighty grovelftslearning
Wisdom's path we'vesbught;
igh upon thy lofty hilltop
Visions have been wrought,
om our hearts we sing the chorus,
et the sound prolong!
il to thee, our Alma Mater,
Hail to thee, LaGrange.
