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. 4 Unix nxz mast tnrMallg mmtefc to ntttnb tlje ^ci>pttan gftrsn to PLEDGE I hereby pledge the Student Government As- sociation of LaGrange College my hearty support, and my loyal obedience to both the letter and spirit of all the College ideals and regulations. If at any time I should violate the letter or the spirit of these ideals and regulations, I will accept without complaint any penalty that may be set for the offense by the Student Council and the officers of the Institution. Signed 6 OFFICERS OF STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION President Jessie Ray Vice-Presidents \ Mary Radford ( bara Leonard Secretary Lucrete Adams Treasurer Martha Cleridenin REPRESENTATIVES Senior Sophomore Class Honorary Member Isabelle Davis Mildred McWhorter Ruth Hill Josephine Glenn 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. 8 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. ' 9 CONSTITUTION Whereas, we, the students of LaGrange College desire to assume individual and community re- sponsibility in the life and conduct of the College, thereby manifesting our loyalty, we do hereby, in accordance with the charter granted by the Faculty, organize ourselves into an association based on the system of honor, with a pledge to uphold the ideals in its laws.

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. 29 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.

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." WATCH THE BULLETIN BOARDS 35 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. 36 ATTENTION NEW GIRLS! WELCOME TO L. C. FIRST THINGS TO LEARN! COLLEGE SONGS L-a-G-r-a-n-g-e Rah ! Oh, L.
