To the members of this class, it was something special. Of course, our class went through the usual mem- orable things, such as initiation, freshman-junior wedding, and the Y installation. We got swell junior sisters and did all that is L.C. ' s tradition. However, there were the personal things: taking Gail out for a game of tennis with luminous tennis balls; Cox and Jimmie ' s frequent decorating of Mrs. Johnson ' s room with plastering from her ceiling because their room above hers happened to be the hang-out of the freshman class; Betty Cook ' s putting cold cream on all the door knobs during the night. Then there was the time Reyn and Mary Alice, who had a pipe code system with the people overhead, had Mrs. John- son as a visitor — when a vital message came clanging over the pipes. Don ' t ask me how they explained that. Marion Middlebrooks got hold of an old cow horn in those days. When she blew it, it could be heard at Rhodes-Perdue ' s. Mrs. Johnson warned her about it in no uncertain terms. One day, there came a sound that could be only one thing — Middle ' s horn. She blew it in the hall, down the stairs, and out the windows. Yes, there came Mrs. J ; but Middle greeted her with I wondered if you were ever com- ing. After this statement, she handed Mrs. Johnson a bar of candy. Such things went on all year, cli- maxed by half of our class getting quadrangled at the end of school for going to a late Saturday movie. During the quadranglement, a quadrangle song was written. That ended our freshman year. In the fall of ' 44, we felt important. There was a class below us, and we prepared a careful initiation for them. No one living in Hawkes then can forget events such as the time when Jane Carter, coming in a little late, chose to enter through a window. It would have been a good entrance if the window pane hadn ' t fallen out and crashed through the dea silence. Lavene, Gail, Ann Duncan, Mary Hearc Linda Griffith, and her roommate supplied the ha with the fragrance of onion sandwiches. Bubbe Dunson ' s wolf wagon was an attraction that yeai But the main memory is the fact that we were give credit for giving the best party of the year. It wj called Breeze Inn, and Mr. Bailey came as Charlc Boyer. We also gave the chapel program in whic we imitated our big sisters. After that, we sang t them from Hawkes and realized we were losin people that meant two wonderful years of friend ship. Juniors! Upperclassmen! Prestige! Water tha would stay on. . . . Mattresses that felt like mat tresses . . . and yes, Heat! Many of our class ha left, and Reyn and Mary Alice were still in the othe buildings with the two classes below us. Sue De came to us. She was calm, we thought, until sh burned up her curtains on the hot plate. The bi event of the year was our homecoming. Old class mates came back and helped us give our secon Breeze Inn party. We finished our third year b taking over the senior store. Dignity! It may not fit some of us, but that what being seniors is supposed to give us. Onio feasts of our sophomore year have been replaced b sardine feasts. Names of the feasters will not b given. We got information about Cuba and dis cussed things with Mrs. Quillian, pro and con. O course, time will tell, but if conditions permit, tb seniors of ' 47 will have been to Cuba by the tim this is read. What with Cuba, this year ' s operett: recitals, comprehensives, and graduation, smoothe into harmony with our sincere loyalty to each othei we bring to a happy and sad close four years c unforgettable experiences. 14 15 Reyn Vineyard Newnan, Georgia After having seen all that Reyn is capable of, who would think she would keep the entire school spellbound with her Matilda? Yes, Reyn was the all ' round girl of the class. She was a member of Kappa Phi Delta and Alpha Psi Omega sororities, and an active member of the Y. She was Who ' s Who, and also served on the Student Council. She chose Religious Educa- tion as her major. You can rest assured Reyn will go places in the future. We are backing you, Reyn.

In addition to being a voice major, she is a Delta Phi and an active member of the Chapel and Concert Choirs. Jane has made a place in our hearts that no one else can fill. We ' ll miss you very much. i Sue Kirksey Reynolds, Georgia Sue, as editor of the Quadrangle, held a most responsible position in the student publication field. She knew how to get things done, and really did them right. Her major is Social Science. We might easily call Sue the pillar of the Senior Class. She was also president of the Alpha Kappa Theta Sorority for two years. She was chosen as one of the Superla- tives on the campus. We know her willingness to work will find her a big spot in whatever she chooses. We are expecting great things of you, Sue. Good luck!

I shudder to think what those people in Pitts would have been like without you, Sue Dee. Jane Miller Young Harris, Georgia Jane came to us from Atlanta two years ago. She has taken a very active part in the International Relations Club, and was a very valuable addition to the Alpha Kappa Theta Sorority. Jane chose Social Science as her major. She always has a cheer- ful word for everyone. Jane, though you haven ' t been with us long, you ' ve gained for yourself a great place in the hearts of all L. C. ' ers. 19 Betty June Marbut Atlanta, Georgia B.J. , a participant in many organizations, could create interest when no one else was able.

With the aid of the Student Council, the Association seeks to uphold those high standards of living and scholarship that character- ize the highest and best in Christian living on our campus. One of the first duties of the Association in the fall is to aid in the adjustment of new students. At the end of the orientation period are the Junior-Freshman wedding and the formal ceremony of signing pledge cards which grant full membership to the new girls. The Student Government seeks to be a friend in the truest sense of the word — to make honor, truth, cooperation, and service the ideals of future usefulness as well as pleasant col- lege experiences. 41 Adams, Vineyard Lane, Walker, Bulloch tfcunf Women The Young Women ' s Christian Association is a religious organization in which all students on the Hill hold membership. We unite in the desire to realize full and creative life and determine to have a part in making this life possible for all people. Early this year our Little Chapel, which has been an inspiration to all and a light along the path of spiritual development, was dedicated by Dr. D. P. Melson and Rev. C. S. Forester in a special service. After the dedication, each new student was received into the Y.W.C.A. when she lit her candle as a symbol of her loyalty to the Y. The nightly vesper services are presented by the students who plan them around a certain theme each week. We have Morning Watch each Sunday morning after breakfast and Sunday afternoon Ves- per Recitals once a month presented by local artists.

In order to create more interest by working with all the religious organizations on the campus, we have on the Y cabinet a representative from the Methodist Student Movement, Baptist Student Union, and the Westminster Fellowship of Presbyterian Students. The Freshman Commission is a division of the Y. Kathryn Walker, who is the Freshman Representative to the cabinet, is the chairman of the group. The other members are Pauline Lane and Betty Bulloch. A very successful campaign for the World Student Service Fund was conducted in November. Miss Judith Austin, regional secretary for the WSSF, was the inspirational speaker for this campaign. At Christmas the traditional Christmas Tree Party was given in the dining hall for the Servant Force of the college. There was a Christmas tree and a program which included Santa Claus, who distributed gifts. Delegates were sent to the summer Y.W.C.A. conference, which was held this year at Highland Lake in Hendersonville, North Carolina. Of particular significance to all who attend, are the nightly meditations in the Little Chapel. One may come to hear the soft music, sit quietly in meditation, or kneel in prayer. Here cares of the day are lifted from burdened shoulders, and ideas of how one can live and help his friends live a richer, fuller life are born. The Y seeks to encourage Christian youth, with its ideals and purposes, and to send them forth, not questioning the truth, but questing for the truth. 45 7ke Curtain OFFICERS Gail Wheldon President Frances Jennings Vice-President Gertrude McFarland Secretary Jean Starnes Treasurer Whlldon The Curtain Raisers, sponsored bv the Speech and Drama Department, has as its purpose the promotion of an interest in drama and the development of individual talent.

Peg O ' My Heart, starring Gertrude McFarland, was the first main-stage pro- duction. The cast included several local boys. At Christmas time, the Curtain Raisers presented The Fool. The part of the young minister who tried to pattern his life after Christ ' s, was taken by Euclid Sharman. This was the first leading role for this talented member of the Company, though he has worked with the Curtain Raisers for several years. Several other pro- ductions were presented, including Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. The College Radio Theatre, under the direction of Colleen Ouzts, made several guest appearances in Atlanta, Columbus, and Macon.

The club is under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and receives from them current books of importance in the field of international relations. It is a member of the Georgia Association of International Relations Clubs and also of the Southeastern Association.

OFFICERS Mary Alio; Adams President Ann Webster Vice-President Eloise White Secretary Jane Hart Treasurer Adams 47 Finding ourselves confronted with the job of editing the ' 47 Quadrangle, we became a wee bit baffled and puzzled. We just knew we were the greenest of the green. We mapped out wonderful plans for this book, only to have many of them go up in smoke. For when talking to Johnny, Poteat, and Snelson, we were informed that because of a rise in prices, the publishing of the annual would require a mere five hundred dollars more than in former years. Sue, despite her disappointment that the colored pages about which she had dreamed all summer just couldn ' t be, worked early and late in an attempt to make this the book it deserves to be. Imogene spent hours writing out-of-town firms asking if they wouldn ' t like to advertise in the great book — only to hear in reply, We ' re sorry, but we have no funds for such advertising. Alberta worked hard getting up her list of names and addresses. Eileen and Jane, I ' m sure, wore their shoes thin, in an attempt to solicit ads from our beloved advertisers, the LaGrange merchants. Jackie and Snelson became 48 QUADRANGLE a popular twosome on our campus, especially around lunchtime. Colleen racked her brain in an attempt to say cute things about the seniors. As for Marion and her art — just take a glance at the drawings scat- tered here and there, and I ' m sure you ' ll agree that the Quadrangle wouldn ' t have been the book it is without her contributions. So here it is, the staff ' s knowledge of life at L.C., Snelson ' s knowledge of photography, and the engraver ' s dummy — all combined to produce the 1947 Quadrangle.

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 flowering 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 last year erected in our village a most modern and commodious Gram- mar School Building for the children in our section. The school is equipped with a splendid kitchen and cafeteria, and has a beautiful auditorium. 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, lodgles, and community gatherings. 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 con- gregations using them, also contribute substantially to the support of their resident (pastors. The Dun son Mills extend greetings and good ivishes not only to the LaGrange College seniors of 1947 but to all the girls on the hill. •«•-••••■•• ••••• ••• 94 Photography b y DAVIS STUDIO LaGrange, Georgia I Quadrangle negatives are kept in files and pictures may be obtained at any time in the future. 95 Lagrange college | i The charm of the old is happily blended with the challenge of the new in the atmosphere T f of Christian culture at LaGrange College; with modern and comfortable residence halls, i = excellent courses in domestic, commercial, and fine arts, and a standard curriculum lead- i ing to the Bachelor of Arts degree.
