e ig$o . . . QUADRANGLE BIDS YOU WELCOME LAGRANGE COLLEGE LAGRANGE, GEORGIA (Best TJears of ur jCives • • • One of the highlights of last spring was moving day ! Moving day ? Yes, on March twenty-fourth, many thousands of books were moved in perfect order from the shelves of the old library to their proper places in the beautiful new William N. Banks Library. Under the joyous and efficient direction of Miss Carrie Fall Benson, every member of the student body and the faculty took part in the historic procession of the books. A few weeks later, the new library was officially opened, and at the same time, a splen- did gift of three hundred and six books, known as the Hubert Qui 1 1 ian Memorial Collection Books, was presented to the library by the Rotary Club. By using BOOKS as the theme of our 1950 Quadrangle, we hope to show, in some small way, to our generous benefactors our grateful appreciation. And on these pages we shall try to reveal the ties that bind all L. C. students and make them feel that here we spend some at least of The Best Years of Our Lives. CARRIE FALL BENSON A lover of people, as well as of books, she found her way into the hearts of all who knew her. Energetic, active, and busy as she was, she could always find time for those who wished to talk with her, and her witty, sparkling conversation never failed to intrigue the listener. Above all, she possessed those qualities held only by the truly great of this world: thought- fulness, generosity, sincerity, trust in God, and a firm faith in the belief that Every Year ' s an April. 4 LUCIE BILLANT With her delightful sense of humor and her ability to see with a smile even the darker sides of life, she won the affection of everyone — faculty and students alike. Her classes were never dull, for they were kept alive by the electric spark of her personality. She was as gay and flippant as a day in Spring, and yet could be sober and serious enough when she wished. Long after the intricacies of the French language have been forgotten by many, there will remain alive in the hearts of those who knew her, the wit, the carm, te graciousness that was Miss B. 5 6 Volumes could be written about the days we have had together at LaGrange College. Student life has its seamy side and its romantic side. In books it could be portrayed as comedy, as tragedy, as poetry, as prose. But all in all we find that our multi-varied experiences have brought to us a rich tonal quality of life because of new perceptions, emotions, ideals, knowledge, and associations. It takes many books to make a library. It takes much thought to produce a single book. Therefore the days spent at LaGrange have not been wasted, for in them (and the sleepless nights) you have been writing, volume by volume, the principles upon which your life shall be built. The bookshelves of your mind, heart, and spirit shall be furnished according to what you have written. Let me write the introduction for your most important work and say: Reader, as you review this life, look for the virtues, because they are there. Overlook the errors, for these are common to all. Judge it by its purpose, for it is divine. And the conclusion will be joyous. God bless you all.

However, she found that she was not entirely alone in her misery; there were many other Freshmen around who were just as homesick as she. They gathered in their rooms and talked about home, that wonderful last year in high school, and their plans for the future. Gradually, after undergoing the tortures of Rat Day, Elsie and her friends began to realize that wonderful feeling of belonging to L. C. After the Junior-Freshman Wedding, they became an official unit of the college. Throughout her college life, each Elsie learns to work and live among her classmates. When, at the end of her senior year, she pauses for a moment and thinks over her four years of work and fun, she realizes that she is better prepared mentally, spiritually, and physically to meet the problems of the future. 14 MRS.

These clubs are made up of branches of national groups and campus groups to further the interests of the students in certain divisions of our curriculum. Invitations to these organizations are highly coveted, and sometimes lead to the familiar cry of: I ' ve got three meetings at 1:30! What AM I going to do? Through the cooperation of the faculty advisors and the students, these organizations stimulate interest and help promote student happiness on the Hill. Life is mine to live . . . Rather in my college life may I cultivate Those traits and ideals that will fit me To weave dreams into realities, and impressions into character. 30 STUDENT GOVERNMENT IN OUR IMAGE The Student Government Association is based on powers and laws granted by the president and faculty. The purpose of the Student Government Council is to make every student feel that she is a vital part of the student body, and to stress the importance of the co-operation of each individual in creating an atmosphere of friendliness on our campus. In order to attain this co-operation, Student Body Meetings are held in chapel, thus giving individuals the op- portunity of expressing their thoughts in cam- pus matters. Sitting: McCarty, Smith.

S. M. Representative MARY TAFT Westminster Fellowship Representative KATE HOWARD CROSS Faculty Advisor 34 CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Young Women ' s Christian Association is the religious organization on The Hill in which every student holds membership. A cabinet of fifteen students is elected each year, which, together with the Faculty Advisor, provides leadership for the Y. All students cooperate through work on the seven standing committees and through particiption in Y meetings and activities. The Y tries to provide opportunities for growth in all fields. The spiritual side of Elsie is nurtured through Vespers, a short devo- tional service held each evening after supper; meditations, a period from 10:15 to 10:30 every night, when anyone may quietly enter the Little Chapel and meditate in her own way( directed by a worship center and quiet music); and a Thought for the Day placed near the Y bulletin board each day and read at breakfast on Sunday mornings. Through the Y, Elsie becomes aware of world affairs and the needs of people here in La Grange and in other countries. The students support a French child, Nellie Moulard. They have contributed generously to Student Relief through the World Student Service Fund and CARE. To provide for other facets of Elsie ' s per- sonality, the Y entertains students and fac- ulty at occasional parties, presents various guest artists at Sunday afternoon concerts, and holds a spring planning retreat. The Y Cabinet seeks to provide oppor- tunities for every L. C. student to grow in her Christian faith and her recognition of per- sonal and campus affairs and social respon- sibility; to develop a well-rounded Christan personality; and to make meaningful in her life the purpose of the Young Women ' s Chris- tian Association: We, the members of the Young Women ' s Christian Association of LaGrange College, unite in the desire to realize full and crea- tive life through a growing knowledge of God. We determine to have a part in making this life possible for all people. .0- Top Row: Cross, J. Beggs, Robertson, McClure, Jones, McKinney. Middle row: Reynolds, Hirr, Lone, Mortox, Moody, Toft.

Its main purpose is to promote interest and enjoyment in creative physical development and good sportsmanship. This is achieved by using the skill gained in the physical edu- cation classes. The Council, elected by the students, plans and carries out the activities of Stunt Night, Field Day, May Day, and various tournaments based on sorority competition. At the climax of the year, awards, trophies, and college let- ters are presented at the W. A. A. Banquet to students who have earned them. One of the highlights of the year is the volley ball game betwee the W.A.A. Council and the Faculty. This year several exhibition trips to nearby high schools were made by a group of girls in the advanced tumbling class.

Faculty Advisors Salmon ond McKinney Welcome to the company of those who start a school year relatively sane and go slowly nuts! (Quoted from a very dear friend of the Quadrangle.) This truthfully expresses what happens to the chosen few who work on the yearbook. In Room 27 of Pitts Building, a light burns until the wee hours of the morning. That ' s the Quadrangle staff at work! The room is littered with stacks and stacks of material — layout sheets, work sheets, envelopes, ledgers, scrap-paper, catalogues, old annuals, one dictionary, pictures, and one well-worn typewriter. Plus all this material, we also have a fine collection of coke bottles, chocolate milk bottles, coffee cups, and discarded sacks which formerly held luscious hamburgers. QUADRANGLE STAFF OF HUMAN BONDAGE Work on the Quadrangle begins at the first of the school year. The theme of the book has to be decided; the layouts have to be worked out; pictures have to be taken; and conferences among the various staff members are a necessity. After all the preliminaries are finished, the Quadrangle slowly begins to take shape, while the staff quickly loses that first sparkle of anticipation that gleamed in its eye way back in September. In addition, many more things go into the compiling, composing, and condemning of an annual, and especially a LaGrange Col- lege Quadrangle things that only a mem- ber of the staff can know and feel. We, the staff, wish to extend our best re- gards to all those who have unfailingly stood behind us. We wish to give special recogni- tion to Miss Clarissa Poteat and Mr. John Long, who have helped make possible this publication. We wish to thank Q. N. Johnson, photographer, for his cooperation in helping us amass our collection of photos . We also wish to thank Dr. Waights G. Henry, Jr., for his unflagging interest and constant help with our 1950 Quadrangle. Oh, yes, the girl with the bandaged hands walking around on the campus is the Editor of the 1950 Quadrangle, who wore her fingers off striking typewriter keys. And the lovely bald-headed one walking silently beside her is the Business Manager, who tore all her hair out trying to make accounts balance. Seriously though, the staff has enjoyed bringing you this 1950 edition. We hope that you will find not only pictures but something else within this Quadrangle that will cause yau to remember with happiness your student days at La Grange College in 1950. 41 THE Top: One of the closing scenes from Our Hearts were Young and Gay.

The curtain rang up in September on an evening of one-act plays, The Sum- mons of Sariel, and A Wedding. Next on the schedule was Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, on December tenth. Blanche McKinney and Kathlene Blu shared the lead in this gay, rollicking account of two American girls ' adven- tures abroad. This play was also pre- sented in Columbus and other nearby towns. On February tenth, The Queen ' s Hus- band was presented for the guests of L. C. ' s annual house party. Grover Waller as the shy, hen-pecked King Eric III, and Marian Wheldon as the domineering and high-strung Queen Martha delighted the audience with their splendid perform- ances. Brief Music, a laboratory play, was presented on March third by the younger members of the Curtain Raisers. Other plays scheduled for the spring were Little Foxes, with Kathlene Blu in the lead; The Hasty Heart, with Willis Freeman in the lead; and Chil- dren of the Moon for the Commence- ment Play. In March and April the senior speech recitals were presented. James M. Bar- rie ' s famous book, The Little Minister, was given by Willis Freeman; Kathlene Blu presented the hauntingly lovely Re- becca by Du Maurier; and Marian Whel- don gave Alice Duer Miller ' s beautiful The White Cliffs of Dover. The La Grange College Radio Theater is under the able direction of Kathlene Blu. Each week a thirty-minute program is presented over WLAG-FM. Several guest broadcasts were planned for the spring. The group also presented a series of programs dedicated to the members of the teaching profession. 42 CURTAIN RAISERS OFFICERS MARIAN WHELDON . KENNETH BRUMBELOE JACKIE WAINWRIGHT BLANCHE McKINNEY .

It is composed of girls whose major is Home Economics, and other girls who are interested in the field. Our aim is to further interest in all phases of home- making, as well as to promote friendship and leadership among all Home Economics students. 46 WHO ' S WHO ' PROMISE AND FULFILLMENT ' Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges is a publication in which appears the biographies of outstanding students selected from six hundred schools in the country. At La Grange College, the selection is made by the faculty. This selection is based upon character, scholarship, leadership in extra-curricular activities, and potentiality for future usefulness to business and society. This recognition is the culmination of all college honors and achievements. In the 1950 edition, L. C. was represented by Pauline Lane. HONORS CLUBS Eligibility to the Honors Clubs, established in 1924, is conditioned upon literary hours taken and the academic standing of the stu- dents. Each year the faculty recommends cer- tain students for membership. The Fine Arts Honors Club and the Secre- tarial Science Honors Club were established to give recognition to students of outstanding ability in music, art, speech, and secretarial science. The college decided in 1948 to recognize the members of the Honors Club by awarding a key. The emblem on the key bears the Greek letter AN, signifying the Shield of Nestor. This emblem connotes a three-fold symbolism: a key to unlock the treasures of knowledge, a laurel wreath to crown the at- tainments of learning, and a shield to ward off the false in the eternal warfare for truth. Those who qualified for membership in the Honors Club in 1949-1950 are Martha Young, Barbara Bennett, Pauline Lane, Carolyn Sal- mon, and Mary Perkerson. Blanche McKinney was named tor membership in the Fine Arts Honors Club. Election to these clubs is the highest dis- tinction that can be conferred on a student. Such awards are made on Honors Day, at which time a distinguished speaker is the guest of the college. 47 THE CHAPEL CHOIR THE BIRDS Back row: Morrow, M.

These girls are chosen by the entire student body as the ones who best represent the true spirit of La Grange College. Miss La Grange College is chosen from the senior class. We feel that she is the one who most truly represents the ideals of the college, which include love, loyalty, and service. The five Superlatives may be chosen from the Sophomore, junior, and senior classes at large. Miss Freshman is selected as the girl who has the characteristics of the ideal freshman. This year we have four seniors, one junior, and one freshman who repre- sent the highest ideals of young womanhood. To them we extend our sincere congratulations. 58 TTLiss jCaQrange College POLLY LANE 60 61 MARIAN WHELDON 62 63 64 BARBARA BENNETT 65 66 1950 MAY QUEEN MAY QUEEN HELEN ROBERTSON MAID OF HONOR KATHLENE BLU SENIOR REPRESENTATIVES BERNICE DAVIS BARBARA BENNETT JUNIOR REPRESENTATIVES BETTYE GURLEY CLE A MAE McCLURE SOPHOMORE REPRESENTATIVES FRANCES SWINT ESTHER McLEMORE FRESHMAN REPRESENTATIVES ALOHA DAVIS MELBA BROWN 67 Sororities The four sororities on the Hill form a vital part of the L. C. girls ' social life. From the day of Elsie ' s arrival, she looks forward to the rush parties and to the bids which culminate Rush Week. The Inter-Sorority Council governs Rush Week and the rest of the sorority activities throughout the year. The council is made up of the presidents and one representative from each sorority. Its purpose is to promote coopera- tion and good will among all the sororities on our campus. During the tense week of rush parties, each girl stays by her mail box, waiting for a party invitation. Then, after a mad but gay whirl of parties, the fateful day comes when bids are sent out. R. S. V. P. by 5:00 o ' clock! Can ' t we write our answers before then?

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 grounds are among the most attractive in the South today. The main building and offices are surrounded by a wide expanse of velvety lawns, green the year round, and approxi- mately 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 now operates in our village a most modern and commodious Grammar School Build- ing 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 build- ing 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 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 con- tributes substantially to the support of their resident pastors. The Dunson Mills extend greetings and good wishes not only to the LaGrange College Seniors of 1950 but to all girls on the hill. LaGrange Grocery Co. 32 Morgan Street Tasty Food Shops, Inc.
