C, if it shall enable you to relive in memory the happy days you spent here, or if it shall help to preserve the beautiful principles and ideals of LaGrange College, then we shall have fulfilled our fondest hopes. So we, the Staff of 1940, give you LIFE AT L. C. - - the grandest life we know. Elizabeth Reed, Editor Frances Justiss, Business Manager Mar.torif. Turner Associate Editor Elizabeth Cunningham .

WE DEDICATE To express our deep appreciation of her jovial manner, her sparkling wit, her brilliant capabilities, and her unswerving zeal and loyalty, we dedicate this, the 1940 edition of THE QUADRANGLE, to our be- loved poet and librarian, Miss Carrie Fall Benson. It gives me pleasure to express appreciation of the class of 1940. For many of you life will begin in ' 40, bringing new experiences, new life situations, and new opportunities for service. I hope that the guidance and the educational pattern set for you by your Alma Mater may assist in your design for living in the days of the new decade. During the short span of your lives, inventions have facilitated the com- fort and ease of living to a very large degree; no more are we hewers of wood and drawers of water, but now we are pushers of buttons and handlers of gadgets. In your day, the speed of the streamlined world has greatly increased its tempo. In only one field do we seem to be lack- ing, that of human relationships and brotherhood. May you accept the challenge to make vital the Christian ideal in this realm of the Spirit in the world of tomorrow. • May your appreciation of beauty, your love of truth, and your reverence for righteousness assist you in attaining life ' s enduring satisfactions.

O This space could easily be rilled with an inspiring ac- count of Liz ' s splendid record as editor of the Quad- rangle, but we feel that the book itself is tribute enough.

She surely knows her languages — English and French aussi. She is a French major and makes A ' s. Girls, she is an eighth wonder. 23 The seniors are a sorted bunch But they ' re o. k., I have my hunch. Liz Hairston, as a gal, is perfectly swell Though here she looks like she hailed from a cell. And here comes Mac from practice teaching She looks so tired of all the screeching. Look at Mary propping on a post She ' s a gal of whom the seniors boast. Why who is that out there with the trees? It ' s Sara Frances, Anne, and Mildred a-sitting on their knees. There ' s ol ' Joan away up in the air She looks just like she ' s never had a care. There ' s little Lizzie a-waving her han ' She must have just seen her favorite man. And here comes Eleanor walking up the path It ' s a wonder to me that she isn ' t working math. There ' s Colie Cole just working that plug They tell us she ' s been bitten by the ol ' love bug. Anne ' s sitting there with her books and her lesson She ' s a grand gal, we ' re all confessin ' . 24 Martha out there reclinin ' on a stone Is a brilliant gal, I ' m making no bone. And Margaret and Shirley, with someone hid behind, Are two of the swellest girls you ' ll find. Sally standing there leaning on a tree Is waiting to ring a bell, just take it from me. And there ' s Colie and Cack just coming from town. They must have found something cause they ' re sho ' looking down. Look at Fran with a letter in her han ' I ' ll bet she just heard from that good-look- ing man. I know Twiggie ' s dressed for her Sunday date With that guy from Atlanta who ' s never been late. Look at Maxine out there in the open She ' ll always have the best of luck, at least that ' s what we ' re hopin ' . There ' s Virginia Perkins with her hand on the railing She sure knows her science, that ' s not her failing. And last there ' s Ruby just studying up a storm Trying to get her lessons in the very best form. So here they all are — the seniors — twenty They ' re mighty swell girls and we like them a-plenty. 25 I I COLLEGE HBftflM Here, for Youth, is stored the wisdom of the ages; Secrets of science, mysteries of art, Await the questing mind and eager heart Of those who would explore these priceless pages. Here the young dreamers, lifting glowing eyes From open books, may look upon far places; May feel the wind of fancy in their faces, And stand a moment underneath strange skies. Here history sounds the rumble of old wars; And romance voices that which once was said, In words that echoed to the swinging stars, Uttered by poets who have long been dead ; But more than all that has been said or sung, Are they who seek this place — they are The Young! — Carrie Fall Benson. 26 SORROW, POPE, DEAVER, JONES Louise Jones President Dorothy Pope . . .

The life and work of the college is based on the Honor System and this system applies not only to the rules and regulations concerning conduct, but to scholastic work as well. It is the pur- pose of this organization to act as a leader in maintaining high standards of living and scholarship, to assume the direction of all matters concerning the college life not reserved to the jurisdiction of the faculty, and to preserve this honor upon which rests the framework of our college. Through this associa- tion the students gain a clearer conception of how to live honorably and unselfishly, and of how to share in the responsibility of government. 44 v v Margaret Hall Vice-President Geraldine Deaver Vice-President Rachel Sorrow Vice-President Polly Jordan Secretary Gene Bryson Treasurer Ruby Kitchens Senior Representative Pauline Shahan Junior Representative Doris Henson Sophomore Representative Virginia Smith Freshman Representative Evelyn Trussell Freshman Representative Sarah Allen Honorary Member 45 Sarah Allen President u CHBINEI The purpose of the Y.

We are hoping to have still better times in the future, for it is our desire to further the social activity and congenial comradeship of the mem- bers by our weekly meetings. Our motto ex- presses our sentiments toward our sorority bet- ter than any other words — Kappa Phi Delta Forever. Martha Van Houten .... President Virginia Purgason . . .

Thus there seems little chance for a student to miss her favorite sport. This organization has as its purpose to meet adequately the needs of all its members.

Representative Rachael Boling, Junior Representative Mollie Murphy, Sophomore Representative Joan Barnhill, Senior Representative V ff 7S I- We are proud to present the L-Club, to introduce to you those students who are outstanding in athletics. Each member received this honor not be- cause of her intellect nor from the casting of a vote, but because of an honest-to-goodness struggle to get the required number of quality points — a struggle which meant no cheese crack- ers and Coca-Colas between meals, no staying up late at night, and hours and hours of indoor and outdoor exercises. Congratulations, L-Club, for the larg- est enrollment ever. In our annual field day festival one of the outstanding events is the fifty-yard dash. It is always thrilling, exciting, and breathless. The victors in the last field day dash were Fran Justiss, senior, and Doris Arrington, sophomore. They tied for winner and they are truly first prize dashers. 76 Upperclassmen Soccer Team Biggest, best, and most boisterous of all the field events was the soccer tournament last fall, which was given under the supervision of Miss Trotter and Twiggie Twiggs. With a championship at stake and three thrilling games to be played by the Freshman, Sophomore, and Upper- classmen teams, there was an enormous amount of class spirit and team spirit. Excitement reached a new peak when the Sophomores emerged as victors over the Freshmen. In the second game between the Upperclassmen and Sophomores those teams fought a hard fight and the Sophomores took their defeat nobly. Then the highlight of the tournament, the championship game, not an ordinary game, but a game between two determined teams. With Fran Justiss as the untiring captain of the Upperclassmen team and Martha lone Wilson the hard working captain of the Freshmen, both teams redoubled their efforts and an exciting game was under way, spurred on by the enthusiastic cheers of the spectators and the yells from the cheer leaders and crowd. But perhaps the pictures tell a better tale. At the top you see the smiling, victorious, winning team, while at the bottom of the page is seen the bitter struggle in actual progress. Congratulations, Upperclass- men! You can win next year, Freshmen!

LaGRANGE geobg 95 The Dunson Mills LaGRANGE, GEORGIA ★ Many years ago LaGrange was named by one of her first citizens The City of Elms and Roses; since that time she has also become the City of Cotton Mills; and her residents may justly feel a pride in either name. THE DUNSON MILLS lie on the eastern edge of the city, between the Atlanta and West Point Railroad and the Atlanta Highway, Route 14. Its buildings and the grounds are among the most attractive in the South today. The main mill building and offices are surrounded by a wide expanse of velvety lawns, green the year round, and appropriately planted with flower- ing and evergreen shrubs. The mill building is of red brick with white trim, and has a base planting of shrubbery. The tenement village has some three hundred houses of three and four-room types, at all times kept freshly painted white, with green trim. Every home is provided with electric lights and running water and has ample room surrounding it for flowers and vegetable gardens, chickens, and a cow if desired. The City of LaGrange rents from the Company its splendid two-story brick school building and operates there a grammar school. The Company operates at its own expense a well-equipped kindergarten for the small children. A full-time graduate nurse is regularly employed by the Company for the welfare of its employees and their families, and group life insurance at a very low rate is provided for all who wish it. The Company a few years ago built two modern brick churches, one of Old English and one of Colonial design, and besides furnishing light, heat and janitor service for the congregations using them, also contributes substan- tially to the support of their resident pastors. The Diinson Mills extend greetings and good wishes not only to the LaGrange College Seniors of 1940 but to all th e girls on the hill. 96 n THE L TY F Lr G R H N G E COTTON MILLS LaGRANGE GEORGIA CITIZENS AND SOUTHERN BANK of LaGRANGE LaGRANGE GEORGIA 97 COURT SQUARE PHARMACY Your Kexall Store LaGRANGE GEORGIA LaGRANGE HARDWARE COMPANY LaGRANGE GEORGIA Eat . . .
