LaGrange College - Quadrangle Yearbook (Lagrange, GA)

LAGRANGE C O L L E C, E %. 1941 LA GRAM (OLU« LA GRANGE, GEORGIA oxewot Life is a song. Yes, but life is not a simple melody carelessly played by untried fingers. It is a complex and intricate symphony of thrills and heartaches, work and pleasure, joy and sorrow, which we practice daily through- out our life span; and the symphony we compose and play is only finished when life itself is finished. And yet, the four year s in college, although a movement of our entire life symphony, comprise so complete a unit in themselves as to form a smaller symphony within the greater one. In the 1941 Quadrangle we attempt to present the complete score of our L. C. Symphony of Life, finished only through the untiring efforts of the conductor, the loyal support and devotion of the sponsors, and the un- ending practice of the musicians themselves.

Gilbert. May I express my felicitations to the Class of 1941 as the day of your graduation draws near. To many of you this day has been the one far-off divine event toward which the whole creation moved. And yet it is only the be- ginning — a commencement — of a new way of life for you. What the pattern of that life shall be, you alone can determine. Whatever betides may you continue to have faith in the dignity and worth of yourself as an individual and a deep and abiding concern for the com- mon good. May you have a love of truth and a reverence for righteousness in which the true values of life inhere. Only through the voluntary disciplines of morality and the spirit of self-sacrifice thus developed, may the good life be obtained and the democratic process be preserved. May the knowledge you have gained and the power it confers contribute to your joy and the welfare and hap- piness of all.

LOUISE JONES President DOROTHY POPE Vice-President GERALDINE DEAVER Secretary RACHEL SORROW Treasurer JONES, SORROW, POPE, DEAVER SENIORS and tLu There are fascinating stories of great men and great women; there are thrilling accounts of adventures; there are exciting tales of the struggles of nations; but most important of all, there are memories of college days — days that are full and overflowing — each one a new and unpredictable adventure in itself. These memories are fascinating stories of future great women (we hope) ; they are the thrilling accounts of our adventures into the vast realm of knowledge; they are exciting tales of our struggles to assimilate this knowledge. They are the memories of the grandest days of our life — our days at LaGrange College. Looking at the rows of Seniors in their solemn black caps and gowns, with one or two caps a little awry, who would ever believe that they are the remains of those wide-eyed, gullible and self-conscious kids that started the long grind in 193 7, and are on the verge of crossing the goal line. But it ' s true, and we ' re all happy and sad, and sorry and glad. For with the word LaGrange there comes to our minds hundreds of pictures: hopeful rushes to the post office just before chapel; big goody boxes from home; sleepless nights worrying about various and sundry things; slow-moving class periods filled with daydreaming; that awful waiting and hoping for a phone call; the joy of sleeping after a good day ' s work; Please See Mes from Dean Bailey and the tedious process of pacifying the family; restlessness before holidays; recitals and more recitals — some good, and some not so good, but always interesting because they represented work and effort; lively chatter and laughter in the dining hall, and the monotonous singing of Happy Birthday to You ; exam time when everybody is hollow-eyed and cross; myriads of jokes and pranks; uplifting and inspiring moments in the prayer hall; Moon River and aching hearts; filling trips to the Senior Store and frantically searching for the key; endless sessions over cokes in the drug store downtown; the lonesome sound of train whistles in the still of the night; hard and devitalizing games of soccer; the unwelcome sound of the alarm clock; delightful sorority meetings; long hours in the library; Sunday afternoons when it rained. Sometimes when the going was rough, we thought, Why did I ever come to college, anyhow? Wherever did I get the crazy idea that I knew anything about anything? Every thing I do is wrong! ... I Haven ' t an ounce of sense! — then there were a few precious times when we worked diligently and reaped what we had sown, and everything in us sang because we knew we had done our best. And now, simply the word LaGrange brings it all to life again. Our first year brings to mind initiation — and what a wide field of activities that covered! And what cowering and terrified rats we were before those awful Sophs! It was our first real taste of college life (and mineral oil), and it tasted a little bitter, but we loved it — after it was all over. After overcoming our fear of the Sophs, we discovered that they were swell gals, and pretty soon, we thought everyone was a swell gal, even if they did sometimes take advantage of our ignorance. We learned a lot that year about how much we were expected to know, and about how much we didn ' t know. Those first weeks we learned all there was to be known about Bull Sessions. The handbook said, Freshmen may go to town twice a week, so we strolled down from our little feminine world to mix and mingle with the outside world twice a week. Also the handbook said No student is allowed to ride to and from a destination unless it is raining, so every time we went to town we hopefully prayed for rain. Those two times a week we stored up Jones ' Specials and hotdogs like a cimel storing up a month ' s supply of water. All our clothes we outgrew, and when we went home for the week-end, people remarked, You ' re looking well, or College certainly agrees with you; how much have you gained? And we all smiled and tried to act nice, but all the time, we were fuming inside, and secretly resolving to go on a diet the minute we got back to school. Sorority bids went out, and we made up our minds and R. S. V. Peed at 5:00 o ' clock, and were taken into the inmost sec rets of the Eta This or the Gamma That. Now each of us had our special little group, and we felt that we truly belonged. Then the Junior Class had a meeting — a very, very important meeting — and each of the Juniors chose a Freshman to guide and protect. We no longer had to worry, we had an upperclassman pulling especially for us. That first Christmas at home was such fun, seeing all our home-town friends and comparing colleges. We all loved our school chums, but we still felt that there are no friends like old friends. Before we had hardly settled down from the holiday gaiety, we realized with dismay that it was time for our first finals — finals that terrified us even more than the Sophs did. And we spent much more time worrying than we did studying, and somehow we survived those exams — on the merits of o ur worrying, I guess. Spring Holidays and May Day followed in quick succession, rushing right into our first Commence- ment. How we stood in awe of the Seniors, wondering if we would ever be numbered in that coveted class. Perhaps we even shed a few tears at the thought of losing our Senior friends. Why, you may ask, do you remember so much about your first year? Because it was a new experi- ence, an experience of being on your own, and making a place for yourself in the college world. The spirit and curiosity and enthusiasm of the Freshman can never be equaled. We can ' t wait for summer to begin, we said, and it was restful at first, but before long, we missed all the girls and longed for the hurry and bustle of school. Then we couldn ' t wait for school to begin, and we happily repacked our skirts and sweaters, and joyfully greeted our classmates, and viewed the freshies with secret delight because we knew that they would soon be at our mercy. Remembering our experiences of the previous year, it was easy for us to yell at the rats and let ' em have it. They ' re too high-handed, they need to be taken down, we told ourselves, not daring to think back and remember how we felt. It made us feel big to visit in Freshman Hall, and talk about which courses to take, and which not to take, and what to expect of which teachers, while the Freshmen absorbed what we said like a sponge. We knew things. We had had a whole year of experience. Being a Sophomore had lots of responsibilities. Our sister class was graduating, and we had to help send them to New Orleans. To give said help, we sponsored a party in February — a Valentine Party with a Kay Kyser musical program. We planned and planned, an d sent invitations to every boy we had ever heard of. Then we decorated the gym until it looked like anything but a gym. People came from miles around, and bought everything we had to sell. With aching feet and strained muscles, we jubilantly counted up a tidy profit to help send the Seniors on their trip to the Crescent City. The first of May the Seniors took their table, and we had to strain our originality and ingenuity to decorate again. We made placecards and favors, and adorned the table with Greyhound Busses. In our white evening dresses we looked quite angelic as we formed a line for the Seniors to pass through. The crowning event of the night was when we presented our Sister Class with thirty dollars — each dollar bill painstakingly rolled up and tied with a white ribbon like a diploma. Came class day, and we were responsible for the refreshments and the daisy chain. That daisy chain was almost our undoing too. Will I ever forget how we rode out the Franklin road, early in the morn in a drizzling rain, and plucked every little daisy for acres around. Every spare minute we had that morn- ing, we rushed down to the gym and wrapped daisies around that seemingly endless rope. By noon the drizzle had increased to torrents, and we sorrowfully read the disgusting announcement that class day had been called off on account of inclement weather. We all went down and lovingly looked up our useless daisy chain. We had done our best, but the elements had done their worst! This Commencement we shed numerous tears as our Sister Class departed. Our crowds at home had broken up — some married, and others moved away. Then we suddenly knew that there are no friendships quite like college friendships. That September of our Junior year, we were even gladder to get back and settle down. Now was the time to make plans for after graduation, and to definitely decide on major subjects; now was the time to choose our Freshman sisters, and cherish and protect them. It was like being done unto one year, and doing unto the next. More than ever before we were learning the art of cooperation, and the ad- vantages and necessities of working together. We dutifully handed over our class dues each month, and our Senior trip loomed on the horizon. In May we each became a hostess at our table in the dining hall, and it was our duty to see that every- one at our table (including ourselves) got enough vitamins. Also we took over the store, and we were so proud of this new possession that we practically fought over whose turn it was to keep the store. T o celebrate the receiving of our Senior privileges we had a blow-out affair — a picnic at the city pool with enough food for all of us to carry some home. How glorious to be a Senior! We could go places alone, we could chaperone to the show, we could go out any night of the week — in fact, about all we had to do was be in by 10:15. We tried our new rules, and they were good, and we wondered how we ever got along when we were Freshmen. Unbelievably soon, our Senior year; the year we had always thought would never come; the year we hated to think was our last; but the year we hoped to make the best. That first Sunday when we donned our caps and gowns and strolled nonchalantly down the church aisle while everybody stood up and stared at us — there ' ll never be another thrill quite like that one. It was worth the struggle through the other three years just to be branded a Senior and to have a whole year of dignity and superiority. Speaking of a grand and glorious time — that ' s exactly what our Senior Trip was. Fun, Food and Ad- venture, capitalized and underscored. Our Trip was something that we planned for the longest and something we will remember the longest. If you don ' t believe me, just ask any Senior who went. All too soon they ' ve ended — our gay and carefree days, and we find ourselves facing the world. Perhaps we aren ' t armed with knowledge, but we ' re certainly armed with memories. And now, simply the word LaGrange brings it all to life again — and it will never die! MISS CROSS Sponsor WHEN I HAVE SUNG MY SONGS Ernest Charles When I have sung my songs to yon, I ' ll sing no more. ' T would be a sacrilege to sing at another door. We ' ve worked so hard to hold our dreams, just you and I. I could not share them all again — Yd rather die with just the thought that I had loved so well, so true, That I could never sing again, That I could never, never sing again, Except to you. I JOHN J.

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 of life; To bring joy to those who sorrow, and Strength to those who falter in their tasks. 1 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 knoivlcdge Of Him, whom to know is life eternal.

Honorary Member The purpose of the Student Government Association is to maintain high standards of living and scholar- ship on the college campus. The life and work of the college is based on the Honor System. This system applies not only to the rules and regulations concerning conduct, but to scholastic work as well. The Student Council feels that it should aid the student in becoming adjusted to college life in order that her college days may be happier and in order that she may do her best for the college community. The Council realizes that good citizenship on a college campus leads to good citizenship all through life. The present Student Government officers were installed during the thir d week of March, 1940. Since that time their duties have been numerous. During the year the Council has had the opportunity to sponsor several worthwhile projects. In the spring of 1940, the Student Council sponsored a movement to encourage the student body to contribute to the fund for building a new college dormitory. This campaign proved very successful and the Council was able to present a very nice sum to the building committee. BALDWIN DONNAN JORDAN ARRINGTON BRINKMAN lwiggs, Sorrow, ahahan, lordan. In May, the Student Council assisted in sending delegates to the Nineteenth Annual Congress of the Southern Federation of College Students and Publications Representative. This meeting was held in New Orleans, Louisiana. Many helpful suggestions and ideas for student government were obtained from the lectures and discussion groups. In the fall, the Student Council is responsible for the guidance of Freshmen during the first weeks of school. This orientation program culminates in the Junior-Freshman Wedding. This wedding signifies that the Freshmen are no longer associated members of the Student Government Association but they have re- ceived their privileges as a member of the organization. The bride is elected from the Freshman Class, the groom is elected from their sister class, the Junior. The ceremony is performed by the President of Student Government. As the Student Council feels that students need some recreation, it sponsored a movement to purchase a record player for the parlors. The movement was successful and the student body has enjoyed this source of pleasure. This year marks the twenty-fourth year of Student Government at LaGrange College. It is hoped that during the years the students have in some way gained a clearer conception of how to live honorably and unselfishly and how to share in the responsibility of government.

A. is to help the student to a richer, fuller, and nobler conception of life, to further spiritual, social, and physical growth and to encourage Christian youth with its ideals and purposes. Nightly vespers are conducted under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. by various members of the student body. It is so planned that by the end of the year every student, with few exceptions, has partici- pated in one of these programs. The Prayer Hall has become one of L. C. ' s most treasured traditions and the returning alumnae may always be found stealing a few quiet moments to visit this spot. The yearly activities of the Y. W. C. A. also include a candlelight service at which time the new members of the Y are pledged by the lighting of their candles from the candle in the hand of the President. I L ' W INGHAM JORDAN Throughout the year the organization does social service work. At Thanksgiving and at Christmas the entire student body becomes the social service committee. At Thanksgiving baskets are filled through free-will offerings and distributed among mem- bers of poor families. A Christmas party is given in the dining hall for the servant force with lighted Christmas tree and a pro- gram presented by the students in conjunction with the kitchen and household force. Delegations from the Christian organizations in other colleges and Christian Youth Conferences are promoted by our local group. During the year deputations from the University of Georgia, Emory University and Georgia Tech were received at our school. Delegates were sent to the Southeastern Area Y. W. C. A. Conferences, Junaluska, and Blue Ridge. The suggestions received from these conferences prove extremely beneficial to the Cabinet. The social activities of the organization include a tea for the student body and faculty on the first Sunday after the fall session begins. In the spring the Y sponsors a party for the student body. The final social event is the breakfast given by the Cabinet for the Seniors. The officers for the new year are selected in March and assume their responsibilities at that time. By so doing, the new Cabinet is well organized and is prepared to execute the new year ' s busi- ness more efficiently. The Y. W. C. A. plays a leading role in our college life. Every student is a member of this organization, pledged to cooperate to the best of her ability in realizing the Y. W. C. A. theme and benediction: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. ■ a l i et i OFFICERS Marjorie Turner President Gene Bryson Vice-President Sara Twiggs Secretary and Treasurer Miss Carpenter Sponsor CARPENTER The Curtain Raisers have again had a grand year.

Promoting interest in dramatics, developing individual dramatic tendencies, and working for the joy of working makes our three-fold purpose quite inclusive. § A £• f i 1 ' J ! 4  III B «• m SCENES FROM THE CRADLE SONG, BY MARTINEZ SIERRA. Left: Johns, Lamkin. . . . Top: Flecth, Twiggs, Purg.ison. Bottom: Flceth, Trnsscl!, Wilson, Brinkman, Bryson. The first productions of the year were three one-act studio performances. All studio performances are open dramatic club meetings and the student body is invited. Three sets of these plays are presented during the year. It is in studio performances that majors in dramatics do their work in directing. Martinez Sierra ' s The Cradle Son was the first major production of 1940-41. In contrast to the quiet formality and dignity of the Convent of Dominican Nuns is the cluttered life of the Russians in Squaring the Circle which was presented in March. The year was closed with Stage Door by Kaufman and Ferber. The annual Christmas pageant, which is given in conjunction with the Glee Club, was The Innkeeper ' s Daughter, by our librarian, Miss Carrie Fall Benson. Through the hearty cooperation of its members and the unstinting efforts of its director, Miss Betty Carpenter, the club has been able to fully carry out its year ' s program. The surest way to bring on old age is to publish an annual — no foolin ' ! Be it simple or be it ornate, a yearbook is as complicated as the nervous system. There ' s absolutely no limit or category for some of the things that the staff has to do. Let ' s take a glimpse of the staff at work. There ' s Marjie in a maze of layouts, files, glossy prints, and a dozen other things, jotting down little items here and there, while Libba is stationed at the desk, going to town on the typewriter (and also her gum). They ' re both trying to think up some original way to word the same old stuff, and all the others are trying so courageously to help. Margaret is writing out receipts for ad payments that have just come in, frantically trying to remember whether she promised the firm that their ad would be at the top of column two or column three. Poor little Hilda is quietly going mad trying to catalogue the innumerable activities of one of the Seniors who has dropped by for a last-minute interview. And Juanita, will we ever be able to thank her enough for all the lovely campus scenes she drew. Sometimes even we wonder how the annual emerged out of such chaos! But seriously, trying to bind all the phases of our school life into an integrated book has been great fun. If some parts of this annual do not fulfill your expectations, remember that some things like attitudes, spirits, and atmospheres, can never be put between the covers of a book. Between Mr. Davis ' photography and our literary efforts, we have attempted to record a living ac- count of life at L. C. So we of the 1941 Quadrangle Staff give you this brain- storm, hoping you will criticize it spar- ingly and handle it with care.

Membership in the club is maintained by the same number of accepted con- tributions during each year. The Scroll, which appears three times annually, has for its purpose the encouragement of good writing among the students. Each year those students, not more than four in number, who have made the most distinctive contri- butions to this magazine are selected to appear in the Scroll of Fame. This is the highest honor awarded at LaGrange College for literary work. Any L. C. student may submit materials, including poems, essays, feature articles, short stories, plays, and reviews, the best of which are selected for publication. Subscription to the Scroll is almost one hundred per cent, on the campus. Li ' ft to right: Evans, Deavcr, Jordan, Bailey, Dr. Epps, Hooks, Donnan, Twiggs, Sloan, Cunningham.

Secretary and Treasurer Friendliness is the word that best describes the organization of town girls who daily climb the hill to attend classes. The cheerful Town Girls ' Club room is the center of interesting, informal discussions between classes. Sometimes a conscientious lassie at- tempts (or pretends) to study in the room, but somehow she breaks into the session after all and forgets her books for another while. A moment ' s pause in the room smoothes ruffled spirits and tired brains. The club has effortlessly achieved its purpose, that of encouraging friendships and understanding through whole- some fun. McDOVf ' Capital Clt OFFICERS Margaret Hamilton President Helene Sloan Vice-President Pat Barbour Secretary and Treasurer The purpose of the Capital City Club is to promote friendship among those girls at- tending LaGrange College who live in Atlanta and to keep them in contact with each other during holidays and summer vacation. Each year the club entertains with a luncheon during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. McDOVi ' OFFICERS Ruby McDow President Marjorie Turner Vice-President Christine Skelton Secretary-Treasurer Prof. W. L. Murray Sponsor The International Relations Club has as its purpose to study and discuss history as it is daily being made in national and international events, events that vitally affect us both in the present and in the future. The desire of the club is to seek a thoughtful and intelligent interpretation of modern affairs. The club is composed of girls who have indicated their interest in this phase of study by majoring or minoring in history, or by the careful study they have given this subject. The aim of the club is not to express itself by a large membership but rather by its earnest endeavor. We are a member of the Georgia International Club, the southeast district meeting once a year. Under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the club annually receives between eight to sixteen books of current interest in the political, economic and historical fields.

OFFICERS Dorothy Pope . President Sara Twiggs Vice-President Libba Cunningham Secretary Geraldine Deaver ' Treasurer Elizabeth Gilbert Sponsor Under the able direction of Miss Gilbert, the Glee Club, a chorus of forty voices, has had a most successful year. With Sara Twiggs as soloist, the Glee Club sang at the dedication of the Residence Hall. In December, the ensemble in cooperation with the Dramatic Club, furnished the music for the Christmas pageant. On this program, Frances Floyd, Sara Twiggs, and Dorothy Pope were featured soloists. The Glee Club gave several selections on the January Student Recital, and in the spring appeared in the annual Glee Club concert — t he highlight of the musical year. Early in the spring preparation for commencement music was begun, with only enough time taken off to prepare the May Day music. After the May Day festivities came Graduation exercises with the Glee Club in white vestments tearfully singing farewell to the Seniors. We are especially proud that Melba Keeble, one of our soprano soloists, sings each week over radio station WDAK at West Point, Georgia. Rehearsals, twice a week, are something to look forward to — a time when we forget everything else and devote our entire resources to the blending of lovely music. POPE n m at c e OFFICERS Eleanor Bryan President Paula Copeland Vice-President Chris Gordon Secretary and Treasure The prelude to the Glee Club is the Junior Glee Club, directed by Dorothy Thompson, a student from the voice department. The only requirement for membership is an interest in singing. The Junior Glee Club appears on the major Glee Club performances. Since Glee Club membership is limited, Junior Glee Club work gives the freshmen and transfers a chance to train their voices with possibilities of Glee Club work next year.

The carefully blended voices of the Chapel Choir make them especially suited to sing a cappella, and a cappella singing makes them especially suited to sing sacred music. The Chapel Choir devotes its time to sacred music and the majority of its appearances are at local and out-of-town churches. In producing intricate harmony and original ar- rangements the sextet takes great delight. Their selections are usually light classical numbers, but also they dabble in the popular and semi-classics. You will find the Sextet vocalizing at the Lions Club, the Rotary Club, the Chamber of Com- merce, the G. E. A., or the Community Chest. Seated, left to right: Keeble, Thompson. . . .

The monthly projects of each Art Club member represent diversified interests. It is common to speak of some of them as Fine Arts, and others as Useful Arts, or Mechanic Arts, or Handicrafts, but a clear distinction between them is not often attempted. Properly it is a distinc- tion of purpose. An Art is not a Fine Art unless its purpose is first and foremost to give pleasure; to give, moreover, a certain kind of pleasure, namely, aesthetic pleasure — pleasure derived from the sense of beauty; and to give it, finally by means of an imitation or interpretation of life in terms of artistic conventions. Through study, and work, and exhibits, both out-of-town and local, the Art Club develops in its members an appreciation of Art that will immensely enlarge their powers of understanding and therefore enjoyment. All the Arts should have but one single purpose, and should contribute as much as it is within their own particular power to do so to the highest of all the Arts — the Art of living.

Each year a group of not more than eight freshmen are invited to join those girls in the other classes who were selected as members during their freshman year. The club has its only raison d ' etre the stimulation of true friendship throughout the entire campus. OFFICERS Emogene Barnes President Elaine Ouzts Vice-President Virginia Hackney Secretary Harriet Crumbley Treasurer The purposes of the Home Ec. Club are to familiarize each girl with the materials and techniques of some of the phases of Home Economics, to appreciate the scope of various subjects in that field, to develop for each girl her own desirable pattern of character and conduct based on recognition of her individual in- terests and abilities, and to build a wholesome attitude to the opportunities and responsibilities in the field of homemaking. Among the activities that the Home Ec. Club of LaGrange College has outlined for the year 1941 is the plan for a tearoom which will be opened every Saturday night to all students. Set programs have been planned for the individual meetings which are held twice a month. Obviously eligibility to the Preachers ' Kids group is hereditary. It is a very informal group, one of many more or less organized groups in colleges and universities throughout the United States.

Since then it has been active in all realms of photography. Its aim is better photography from amateur photog- raphers. We strive to create an interest in picture taking, developing, and printing, and welcome anyone to our club who has taken that interest seriously. Each month we have a night meeting with a guest speaker on photog- raphy. Several people in town who have photography as their hobby, have been cooperative with our club in allowing us to use their materials, and in attending our meetings and giving helpful information. The social activities of the Camera Club include an early morning hike and breakfast, and a wiener roast. GARRETT 1 Ij — ij — IJ u I OFFICERS Polly Jordan President Willie Wilson Vice-President Sydney Jolly Secretary The germ of the idea or purpose of the Ay-y-y Club came into being on the night of September 27, 1939. With the purpose of having a good time, the club was organized with motto Be serious about our fun. Thus a group of girls are chosen each year to become a member of an organization whose colors are bright with the ideals of good fellowship and friendship.

S. U. is a southwide movement. It was begun in 1910 and has continued to grow throughout the years. Its main purpose is to promote religious activity on the campus and to enroll each student in definite Christian service. The Union is a connecting link between the church and the college campus. Each student that is a Baptist on the campus where there is a Baptist Student Union is a member. The officers of the B. S.

The thrill, anxiety, and expectation go to make up a day that a college girl never forgets. This day and its procedure is governed by the Inter-Sorority Council. This organization was founded in 1927 with the aim of promoting congeniality and cooperation among the sororities on the hill. The Council is composed of the president and a representative from each sorority. The functions of this group are to meet, discuss the problems relative to each sorority, and to pass laws that create a spirit among its members that is at all times in keeping with the ideals of a true L. C. girl. Margaret Hamilton Secretary and Treasurer The Alpha Kappa Theta Sorority was founded for the purpose of promoting a spirit of friendship and sisterhood among its members. We are proud of the fact that the Alpha Kappa Theta is the oldest sorority on the hill, being founded in 1906, re- established in 1918. We are proud of our sponsor, Mrs. Murphy, and we are also proud of the fun, food, and frolic that we have every week at our meetings.

CRI EN WAY Virginia Purgason Secretary Liz Harrison Treasurer As you like it — that ' s the motto of the Kappa Phi Deltas who meet once a week to have their share of fun and frolic.

Just before Thanksgiving we started a Christmas fund which we used to help the poor. After Christmas we initiated a project to provide lunches for underpriviledged school children. This year we added eighteen of the grandest and very best girls from the assorted freshmen and transfers to our number. Of course the banquet honoring the new girls was the high- light of our social affairs, but we also had several other enter- taining parties. With our number almost doubled, we hope to have a double amount of fun and do a double amount of good this year. As always, we ' ll always be proud that we ' re Kappa Tau Thetas!

JONES Martha Wilson Treasurer The Athletic Association has for its purpose the promotion of interest in athletics and the development of the physical side of the individual. To do this it has arranged a physical education program adequate to meet the needs of all the students. A point system allowing both individual athletic development and team work is used. Membership in the Georgia Athletic Federation of College Women assures the organization of latest trends of interest in athletics and the major problems confronting the athletic departments of the colleges of Georgia. This organization sponsors a convention each year to which two delegates from each college are sent. L. C. participates each year, and contributes to the News-Letter which contains athletic news of the various colleges. Heretofore the Athletic Association has sponsored soccer, speedball, baseball, tennis, swimming, ping- pong, and track events. This year the Association hopes to offer, in addition, horse-back riding and archery. The L Club is composed of those girls who have received their college letters. There are ten letters awarded each year on the basis of points won in athletics. These points may be acquired by making a college team, practicing a certain number of hours, participating in field day, and by keeping health month. The girls who make the L Club should receive the highest tribute. For it is not just the letter that a girl receives, but those nu- merous lessons that she is taught in deciding whether or not a thing is worth working for — those long tiresome hours of exercise, that refusing an invitation to a feast, that getting to bed on time — all go to make the L symbolic of many fine traits of char- acter that a girl has to display if she earn- estly desires a letter. TUCKER FREEMAN And now, Phyllis, may I show you the gym and athletic field? asked Joan, one of L. C. ' s seniors, as she strolled along the campus with the prospective student for 1942. Of course! I ' d love to see the gym. I like sports much better than I do school anyway, responded Phyllis. Well, this is it, said Joan as she swung open one of the double doors. Hm, I like it already.

Al- most every night a gang comes down to dance, play ping-pong, shuffle board, badminton and such like. But come on out; I want to show you the held. We begin the year play- ing speedball; then comes soccer. The soccer tournament is one of the year ' s highlights. In the ' 41 tournament, there were five teams competing. The Freshman Class was large enough to have three teams. Two of the games were ties and their play-offs took up more time. In all, the tournament lasted a week. . iiiilBMilBI 4i Top, left to right, first row: Cash, Jordan, Mur- phy, Jones, Shah. in, Greenway. . . .

And I ' ll never forget the day Mr. Bailey got up in chapel and read the names of the Varsity Soccer Team. This team is an eleven from all the other teams, you know — a sort of All-American team. Eligi- bility is based on ability, sportsmanship, and class spirit. I ' ll tell you who made up this team because you will probably meet every one of these girls while you ' re here today. Let ' s see if I can remember them all: left wing, Hazel Allen; left inner, Kathryn Hays, and Harriet Crumbley — they were both so good no choice between them could be made; then Virginia Garrett at center; Willie Wilson, right inner; Eris Tucker, right wing; Doris Arrington, left halfback; Julia Phill ips, center halfback; Barbara Brinkman, right halfback; one of the McGee twins at left fullback — the one with the decided widow ' s peak, Evelyn; Sara Gray Mize at right fullback; and Dorothy Price, goalie. ... I think that gets them all. After the soccer tournament is over, we play volleyball until time to play baseball. On Field Day, the day of track races, etc., we finish the baseball tournament. It is just as exciting but not as swiftly moving as the soccer tournament. Field Day means blue ribbons, red ribbons, and white ribbons for indi- vidual winners, and a silver cup to the class obtaining the most points. On Field Day, too, the tennis tournament closes. Both singles and doubles matches are played off. Then the champions play other schools. ■J But, heavens, here I am just spieling off, and you haven ' t said a word. Oh, I ' ve enjoyed listening to you talk. I ' m keen about it already. But where around here can I play golf? You don ' t mean to say I ' ve talked this long and haven ' t mentioned the Highland Country Club. Every girl on the Hill is a courtesy member on the club, and the course is excellent. Also the pools and tennis courts are an added advantage. That ' s great! I ' m ready for the new school term to begin right now. Hey, wait, let ' s get this year ' s crop graduated first. Oh, there ' s a bunch of girls I want you to meet. C ' mon, Phyllis, there ' s more to be seen yet! And the two girls round the corner of the gym and are soon out of sight. t e a Litre i By their deeds ye shall know them. And who should know a person better than those who live with him! For that reason the girls who appear in the feature section of The Quadrangle are chosen by popular vote of the entire student body. L. C. is small enough for everybody to know everybody. That makes selection easier; or does it?! So it seems to us. Thus, the seven superlatives of the college are chosen. Miss LaGrange College is selected from the senior class; she embodies the true L. C. spirit of love, loyalty, and labor. From the sophomore, junior, and senior classes at large, the five girls most outstanding in college activities are named to appear with Miss LaGrange College and Miss Freshman, who is elected from the — oh, you guess!

The gorgeous bride and hand- some groom!! 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 veg- etable gardens, chickens, and a cow if desired. The City of LaGrange last year erected in our village a most modern and commodious Grammar School Building for the children in our sec- tion. The school is equipped with a splendid kitchen and cafeteria, and has a beautiful audi- torium. The Company operates at its own expense a well-equipped kindergarten for the small children. The Company also furnishes a two-story brick building for use as a meeting place for clubs, lodges, and community gatherings. A full-time graduate nurse is regularly employed by the Company for the welfare of its employ- ees 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 substantially to the support of their resident pastors. The Dunson Mills extend greetings and good wishes not only to the LaGrange College seniors of 1941 but to all the girls on the hill. 1, 1 1. 1! 1 U li C L L E (i E The charm of the old is happily blended with the challenge of the new in the atmosphere of Christian culture at LaGrange College; with modern and comfortable residence halls, excellent courses in domestic, commercial, and fine arts, and a standard curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree.
