World Traveler Speaks To L. C. Art League

NUMBER S Q

Mrs. C. S. Colley of Grantville spoke to the Art League at its regular meeting last night. The active civic and religious leader spoke on "Art and Religion Around the World."

Mrs. Colley has traveled exten- sively in most parts of the world, especially in Europe. She and her husband returned from a trip around the globe by jet last August.

A graduate of Wesleyan Col- lege, she is a personal friend of Madame Chiang Kai-shek who was in school there with Mrs. Colley. The Grantville Speaker showed the Art League a book of

her friend's own paintings, given her by Madame Chiang.

Mrs. Colley is a great parton of the arts and is outstanding in all phases of Methodist church work. She is listed in Who's Who.

The League gave a reception for Mrs. Colley after the meeting.

Owen Joins HTN Staff At the Thursday, February 11th

meeting of the Advisory Board of the Hill-Top News, the name of Andy Owen was submitted before the board by Ray Barfield for the position of Assignment Editor of the school paper. The members of this board approved the nomina- tion.

Andy, who is an English major, will be adding his new honor to many others he has accumulated while at LaGrange. At present he is serving as president of the Sophomore class, a member of Circle K, Phi Delta Kappa Fra- ternity, the Worship Committee of the S.C.A. and also has a Methodist church on the West Point circuit.

Prof. Ezra Sellers showed his slides of the Brussels World's Fair of 1958 to the Art League meeting of February 11. Mr. Sellers gavcil particular emphasis to the Amer- ican Pavillion, designed by Rich- ard Stone, and to the stiltedness of the Russian Pavillion. Mr. Sellers visited the Fair during his jtour of Europe in the summer of 1958.

The Art League's plans for a trip lo New Orleans in April have beWi delayed due to the schedul- ing of the Graduate Record Exams on the proposed weekend. A new date for the trip will be announced by Tom Powers, president of the organization, in the near future.

NEW SWEETHEART — Jackie Hartness receives congratulations from Paul Bugg and retiring Sigmu Nu Sweetheart Gwen Reeves.

Houseparty Plans Set VARIOUS EVENTS PLANNED The week end of February 26

through 28 is going to be a big one for everyone on the hill. This is the weekend for the houseparty. There have been around four hundred high school seniors who are prospective students invited to at- tend the houseparty.

The final plans for the houseparty have not been completed, but there are several activities

which we know will take place. On Friday night the Curtain Rais- ers will present a play, "The Diary of Anne Frank" starring Margie McDonald. The play will be under the direction of Miss Irene E. Arnett. On Saturday night Sigma Nu will have a dance for the guests. Then on Sunday after- noon the activities will close after the Freshman open house, when the Parlor of Hawkes will be open for the first time.

Faculty Sets New Average The scholastic average required

for attaining Dean's List status ihas been raised from 2.25 to 2.50 and will go into effect fall quarter.

| According to Dean Bailey, this |action was taken "In line with the desire to make the Dean's List represent the extremely outstanding students." The Dean fur- ther stated that although the scholastic average 2.25 represents good work it does not actually represent what one could call the top outstanding scholastic average. Whereas the Dean's list last quarter included around 25% of the student body, the new scholastic requirements will cause the list to represent approximately the top 10% of the student body.

TWIRP PARTY A HIT — Charles Jones, who took the lead in planning the program for the Kappa Phi party, is shown with date Kay

New Courses Announced For Next Quarter. Professor Carleton Guptill has

losted announcements of two lew sociology courses to be taught lext quarter.

Social Science 365, Criminology, rill be "a study of crime, de- Inquency, their reform, their irevention." The prerequisite re- tirement for Criminology is So- ial Science 205 or another soc- ology course.

Rural Sociology, Social Science 154, has become Rural-Urban Sociology. The scope of the course has been widened to include a study of both communities and urbanization.

Hartness Named New Sweetheart

Freshman Jackie Hartness was named 1960-61 Sweeetheart of Sig- ma Nu Pi at the annual Valentine dance given by the fraternity last Saturday evening.

The new sweetheart was select- ed by a secret ballot of the fraternity members on February 9. The attractive Miss Hartness was chosen from Sigma Nu's sister sorority, Alpha Phi Beta, to suc- ceed Gwen Reeves of LaGrange, who has served in the position for the past year.

Miss Hartness wore a black cocktail dress with matching ac- cessories for the occasion. A native of Blue Ridge, Georgia, she is the first freshman ever elected to hold the position of Sigma Nu sweetheart.

The announcement was made by fraternity president Paul Bugg at intermission ceremonies during the dance, after the introduction of Sigma Nu and Alpha Phi officers, in addition to fraternity sponsors Dr. Zachary Taylor and newly chosen Osmos Lanier. Miss Hartness was presented with a bouquet of red roses.

The Elks' Club was decorated with cupids and hearts and a large heart with the fraternity's Greek letters was placed over the bandstand. The Sigma Nu shield hung in the lobby.

An estimated 175 people enjoyed the formal dance which lasted from 8 p. m. until midnight. The Rhapsodians furnished the music for the occasion.

Sigma Nu has also made plans to sponsor an informal dance during the houseparty weekend.

Conferences,

Programs, Books On February 21 the older youth

Sunday School classes of the Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyter- ian churches will meet in the Little Chapel for a special program for the World Universal Day of Prayer for Students. Mrs. William B. Fackler will be the speaker. This day of prayer for students is being sponsored by the YWCA-YMCA, and the program in the Little Chapel is a project of the Worship Committee of the Student Christian Associa- tion.

Attending a conference at Spell- man College on February 5, 6, and 7 were Mary George Dean, Mari- anne Whelchel, Louise Ayres, Dr. Margaret Cubine, and Mrs. Mil- dred Robinette. The study topic of the conference was ".Cry the Beloved Country", and it dealt with the South African race situation.

Another group of books ordered by the SCA is scheduled to arrive this week. Among those of popular interest are The Diary of Anne Frank, Life with Father, Don Quixote, History of American Painting, Human Anatomy Draw-

PAGE TWO THE HILL-TOP NEWS FEBRUARY 18, 1960

Look Homeward, Angel! Without the presence of those persons known as

critics in our society, our lives would tend to slip into a miserable rut, ambitious would not be raised, and and we would bog down in the mire of satisfaction with the status quo.

Imagine the world without these people to keep us on our toes! We would have no urge to try for bigger and better things. Book shops would be loaded down with thrashy novels and assorted trivia. Our music, drama, and politics would fall into a similar

decadence. Criticism, we will agree, then, is a gen- erally commendable institution.

There is, though, a type of critic who constantly tears down instead of building up. This one-man demolition crew is constantly working to undermine and tear down what others have lovingly built up over the years. This brings the matter home to our campus.

Among those who people the hill there are a few excellent examples of the "constant critic" type. Instead of making a definite effort towards improv- ing something, they are stirring up dissatisfaction with the fervor of thunderstruck false prophets. "Nothing is right; everything is out of line" is their theme song.

Far be it from us to imply that life on the campus is always comparable to a well-run tea party. There are times when those of the most patient and optimistic nature want to throw up their hands in disgust. But there is always a better day around the corner. Ever-present is the comforting satisfaction of knowing that someone is always ready to listen to constructive criticisms and suggestions. Then, too, "you can't please 'em all."

If you have something to say, speak out. It is not necessary to exaggerate or slander, because there will be plenty of sympathetic listeners without these tactics. And if you find that you are dissatisfied with things beyond reasonable limits, evaluate yourself before you begin wildly denouncing LaGrange College and everything it stands for. If you find in yourself too many characteristics of our "constant critic," tend to the home fires before you try to set the world —or the campus—on fire.

Cut System "Are you going home this weekend?" "No, I would have to cut class to catch my bus

and I've already used my cut." "When did you use it?" "I used it when I was sick." This conversation and many more similar to it

can be heard anywhere on campus most anytime. Everyone seems to want and need more freedom in class attendance. The one thing at L. C. most unlike a college is the way employed in handling absences.

Many members of the faculty are and have been concerned over this problem for some time now. Their surprise move last quarter indicated that they are not exactly impervious to the needs of the students. But this new policy is really designed for only a select few whose names appear incessantly on the Dean's List. Very little is done to help the average student or the slightly above average student.

One might understand the faculty's concern for the welfare of the student in that they do not wish him to miss important classes. But it seems to have been carried a bit far. Most college students feel that they have relatively good judgement as to when to cut a class and when not to.

Last year a committee from the Student Gov- ernment appeared before the faculty asking that something be done about the absence policy. The faculty showed a decided interest in the situation, and the committee submitted two plans for the faculty to consider. However, nothing has been heard from this since that time.

The first plan that the committee submitted was such as to award cuts on the basis of merit. In other words the better grades a student makes, the more absences he is allowed. The other plan was to limit cuts according to class standing. This plan would give students with the most experience greater number of excused absences.

If any of these systems were used or some system aside from the present, more emphasis would be placed on the integrity of the student and the faculty. Thus would be found an atmosphere more suited for both learning and teaching, and professors as well as students would benefit. (AO)

vHOW ARE WE G-OING TO CATCH UP WITH THE RUSSIANS, YOUNG MAN, IF YOU FRITTER AWAY vOUR EDUCATION THIS WAY ">"

Statement From Henry Dr. Waights G. Henry has made the following

statement about the current rash of discipline problems across the campus:

"Our discipline is not as it should be, and it cannot be until the students will reappraise their strange code of determining not to reveal the identity of wrong-doers. On the basis of this code, no state or city could properly administer law."

"Students can clear up the moral atmosphere much more effectively than can the administration."

Got- a Problem, Dad?

Professor Answerproof Dear Professor Answerproof,

I borrowed my roommate's new formal last weekend for the dance (she didn't have a date). Some- how, punch was spilled down the front of the dress and has left a huge permanent stain. How can I tell her what has happened? Will she still be my friend?

Repentant Dear Repentant,

To which school have you considered transferring?

Dear Professor Answerproof, I am faced with one headache

of a problem. A dorm student with a room near mine has a tuba. He insists on blasting the thing 22 hours out of each day. How can I ever get any rest?

Tired Ears Dear Tired Ears,

Learn to live on two hours of sleep per night. Apparently some students don't know why the school has practice rooms.

Dear Professor Answerproof, Don't we ever have anything to

eat around here but fried pork chops and broiled chicken?

Hungry Dear Hungry, »

Of course, silly! Quite often we have broiled pork chops and fried chicken.

Dear Professor Answerproof, I have a terrible time shaking

off my regular Monday morning hangover after the usual weekend of drinking parties in Turner. Have you a cure for this problem?

Drowsy Dear Drowsy,

Stop drinking.

Dear Professor Answerproof, The professor for my nine

o'clock class insists on talking long past the ten o'clock bell. His lengthy talk makes it impossible

for me to ever be on time for Choralaires or chapel.

Always Late

Dear Always Late, You are not alone! There are

many students faced with the same or similar problems. Per- haps you students could pool re- sources and build a ski lift from Manget to the top of Dobbs.

Dear Professor Answerproof, What do bears find to do during

their six-month nap together in a dark cave?

Just Wondering Dear Just Wondering,

Sleep.

Dear Professor Answerproof, Wouldn't it be more convenient

for everyone if the faculty parking area was moved out of the parking lot west of Pitts to a space closer to Manget?

Weary From Walking

Dear Weary From Walking, What's the matter with you?

Are you crazy or something? Don't you realize how much it would cost to move those little faculty parking signs?

Confetti By RAY BARFIELD

Another two weeks pass and the quarter winds its merry but miserable way towards finals. These are the days of deficiency slips and forlorn looks and hot letters from home. The faculty square danced while the dining hall burned from the heat generated by the fast feet and fancy steps at the Kappa Phi Twirp Dance. Suffering through a rash of tests, we whined and dined and Val- entined.

Andy Owen took up gospel singing as a new pastime. The Maidee Smith garden jonquillized and daffodilled its way into making things appear like early spring. "Aristotle" signed out in Turner for a wild weekend in Athens. Charlie Jones suggested that we have a reporter stay in the Smith guest room and write it up in an article entitled "Once Upon a Matress." Suzanne Cooper told the Georgia State fans to go do a dance with their drum and horns, and Millard Beckum decided that the gym could have been built over the highway because the transfer trucks couldn't have made as much noise.

"The play's the thing," Shakes- peare said, but what a cast of characters!

Practice teachers claim they have it rough. We really believed it last week when Nancy Mitchell returned to the campus, threw up her arms and signed, "Thank Heavens it's FRIDAY!"

In Milton's Paradise Lost, God sends the angel Raphael down to warn Adam of his oncoming temp- tation and downfall. Eve wanders off but becomes interested in the conversation and draws near to listen. Dr. Epps, in her Milton class, punned that Eve's action was "the first case of eavesdrop- ping." Just think what fun Eve could have had if there had been party lines in the Garden of Eden.

Forlorn wail from the lunch line: "WHY did I grow up hating chicken?"

Lloyd Bryant, fondly speaking of one of his teachers recently: "She was the sweetheart of the Spanish Inquisition."

Taking two different foreign languages at one time can be rather frustrating. One language major, when asked how he kept the two languages straight, re- plied, "I don't study either of them."

Mr. Sellers recently spoke to the Art League on various problems in art. As he finished his talk he motioned to his colleague in the back of the room and stated, ".. . and if there's anything else you want to know, ask Mr. Hethcox."

PANTHER PAWS By JIMMY TRICE

A complaint has been circulat- ing among the boys on the La- Grange College campus for the past two years.

There is the desire of many to earn an athletic letter from this school, but having only two sports

Tension High In Sorority Tournament The sorority teams have been

buzzing with action. In the first round of the Black tournament AKO easily defeated Kappa Phi with an offense that seemed to be on fire. This AKO team then encountered Alpha Phi and came through with a victory to stay in the winner's bracket. When Kappa Phi met Alphi Phi to determine the loser's bracket, they won a close game by three points. The next game in the Black tournament will match Kappa Phi from the loser's bracket against AKO in the winner's bracket to determine the winner of the Black tourney.

In the AKO tournament Kappa Phi met with defeat in a hard game against the sparkling Alpha Phi team. It was a hard game and flu was taking its toll among the players. The Alpha Phi offense was clicking however and came up with a victory by a wide marg- in. When AKO encountered the Alpha Phi team, spectators wit- nessed two evenly matched teams playing like Trojans. At the end of the first quarter AKO had a six point lead but at the half Alpha Phi had made a come-back and was leading by two points. The third quarter saw the Alpha Phi team going ahead. AKO began to gain in the fourth quarter but it wasn't soon enough. The game ended with Alpha Phi taking the game by two points. The next Red tournament action was AKO vs. Kappa Phi. AKO won this game by three points in an overtime period on the excellent play of the forwards. The AKO team will now meet Alpha Phi again in what should be a thriller to determine the Red tourney champs. The two tourney champs will then meet in order to determine the first and second place winners in basketball^

(basketball and tennis) there's not much opportunity for this.

Including the boys in Turner Hall and the town boys there is a lot of athletic ability and a lot of boys who want to take part in a team sport, but so far haven't had the chance to do so.

Several have expressed the idea of a Baseball Team, thus giving more boys a chance at Conference competition and widening the athletic program here at L. C. .

Also, the fact has been brought out that LaGrange is one of the very few schools operating in the G.I.A.C. (Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) that doesn't have a Baseball Team.

It is true that we do have Intra- mural Sports here at LaGrange, but this just doesn't satisfy our need for another conference sport on our campus. It's just not the same.

It seems that some action should be taken to give more boys an opportunity to express and enjoy athletic ability and also to earn an "L".

Let's get back to basketball for a while since this 1959-60 season is fast becoming history.

Point wise the "Panthers" are still holding an edge over their opponents. L. C. has averaged 71.7 points per game while opponents have a 65.5 average.

The team has hit 40.6% of its field goals compared to 39.6% for opponents. Free throws have gone through the hoops 72.6% of the time for L. C. and opponents have hit 65.2% of their charity shots.

The L. C. boys have climbed the

Faculty Women Play In League The women of the LaGrange

College faculty and administration have entered a team in the local basketball league for women. The team consists of Mrs. Carlton Guptill, Mrs. Rodney Swann, Mrs. Jimmy Johnson at forward positions, and Mrs. Ann Thomas, Mrs. Al Thomas, Miss Martha Sue Wood, Miss Joyce Gailey, Miss Norma Bell, and Miss Jeanne Kesler at guard positions. This team is off to a good start in the league with two wins, and no losses so far. On Feb. 18 the faculty team meets the inter- sorority team made up of those girls on the sorority teams who expressed a desire to play with the team.

Individually, Wayne Copeland has an average of 17.8 points per game and Wallace Brown follows closely with 17.5 points per game.

Rounding out the starting "5" for L. C, Jerry Carden has averaged 14.2, Larry Boswell 11.4, and Buddy Grimes 8.9 points per game.

Despite the plague of injuries and the fact that the statistics are not quite as high as they were last year the "Panthers" have proven themselves many, many times during this season and have come out with a record that none would be ashamed of.

Chit Chat

^<*^^^^^^*l'*I*^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^tl'*f'tT'^*^^^^^^^'T'^t

Due to the large number of deficiency slips sent home to par- ents recently, the current "Chit Chat" will be devoted to a lecture given last week in the coal pile behind Smith. It is reprinted here for a wider audience and is entitled "How to Sit in Class and Pass." The censored text follows:

Fellow Students, Trustees, and Friends; since the recent attempt to assassinate Dean Bailey has failed, a new approach is obvious- ly needed. Our plight is furthered by the fact that this organization's joint committee on Campusology has considered and rejected the last resort of studying, a sugges- tion submitted to them by the Academbic Advisory Council. For personal and/or private reasons, therefore, I have drawn up a number of suggestions based on three years of experience in both pass- ing and flunking.

First of all, never ask questions that the professor might not be prepared to answer. This can dis- rupt the most carefully established student-teacher rapport. Bow your head in respect when you mention someone in the teacher's field (Darwin, Mendel, or Bridget Bar- dot in biology, for instance). Never disagree, but look alert, stay awake, and bob your head from time to time in joyous agreement. If you must slouch, select a seat away from the front row so as not to cramp the professor for room.

If you must sleep in class, ar- range with your neighbor to be awakened if you are called on. In such a* case you are likely to be caught by surprise and a coughing spell will be called for. Try to turn blue, an excellent color for such an emergency. If the professor presses you for an answer even beyond your coughing fit—of course you have no idea what you have been asked — say anything other than "I don't know," but make it relative. A few hastily memorized TV com- mercials might do as substitutes, especially if the prof is partial to Revlon, Kent gigarettes, and Mr. Clean.

Still on the subject of oral an- swers in class, a great deal of later pain can be avoided if the student can find out ahead of time the musical preferences of the in- dividual professor. Say, for instance,' that Dr. Cubine's passion is for J. S. Bach. So the student, if he has no ready answer, does a number especially chosen for the occasion from among the longer works of the German com- poser. The length of the work is very important so that the student is able to keep up a continuous performance for the remainder of the period and the question will be completely dropped for that day. Bach motets are especially recommended for this purpose, as the student has possibilities for showing amazing facility in singing all eight parts.

Petrels Halt Winning Streak

The LaGrange College "Pant- hers" traveled to Rome to hand the Shorter College "Quintet" an 80-71 defeat.

Co-Captain Wallace Brown pac- ed the "Panthers" with a total of 22 points. Co-Captain Wayne Cope- land and Jerry Carden made their efforts good for 18 points. Buddy Grimes threw 11 points through the hoops and Larry Boswell scored 10 points for the visitors.

Ottinger led the Shorter attack with 22 points while Pierce had 16 and Early had 10 points.

Both teams hit 79% of their free throws. LaGrange made 18 tallies out of 23 attempts and Shorter attempted 24 and sank 19.

Back on their own hardwood the "Panthers" put a 73-66 victory under their belts at the hands of the Berry College "5".

LaGrange had a healthy 16 point, 36-20, lead at halftime. High point man for "L.C." was Jerry Carden who stripped the nets for 22 points. Gene Holcomb hit 7 out of' 9 attempts at the free throw line and 4 field goals for a total of 15 points and Larry Boswell hit in the double figures adding 10 points.

Randall Kent hit 10 field goals and 2 free shots for a total of 22 points while teammate Grady West tapped in 13 points.

The North Georgia "Cadets" made the long trip from Dah- lonega to fall before a pesky "Panther" team 93-75.

LaGrange had 3 men hitting better than 20 points, accounting for the 18 point difference.

Jerry Carden guided the ball to "pay dirt" for 26 points. He was followed closely by Wallace Brown with 25 points and Wayne Cope- land with 21 points. Larry Boswell also hit in the double numbers with 11 points.

Andy Edwards, Spencer Boyd, and Bill Holcomb came through with 22, 21, and 18 points respectively to pace the "Cadets".

The LaGrange "Panthers" traveled to Georgia's capital city February 8 in a desperate attempt to put a cog in the Oglethorpe "Petrel's" winning streak! FINAL SCORE: 78-50 — Oglethorpe.

For the first 20 points of the game the two teams matched each other point for point. Then the "Petrels" moved ahead and never stopped moving. Oglethorpe had a half-time lead of 43-27.

Wallace Brown and Wayne Copeland led the "upset" attempt with 18 and 16 points respectively. Jerry Carden had 7 points and Larry Boswell had 6 points.

Buddy Goodwin popped the nets for 20 points followed by Jay Dye and Tommy Norwood with 18 and 16 points respectively.

JUST WATT 'TTL NEXT YEAR, OGLETHORPE!!!

The posting of 95 theses on the classroom door might prove very effective if carried out with a certain dramatic finesse. These theses must at all costs be relev- ant to the subject material of the class—never petition that students be allowed to smoke cigars or eat ice cream sandwiches in the class.

And to conclude these carefully drawn up careless remarks, I remind you that if all other possibilities fail, study anyway.

"Anne Frank" Stars McDonald The major production of the

Curtain Raisers for winter quarter will be "The Diary of Anne Frank," starring senior speech major Margie McDonald and di- rected by Miss Irene E. Arnett. Production dates are February 25 and 26.

The play was dramatized, orig- inally for the Broadway stage, by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett from the diary of a young girl trapped with her family and friends in an Amsterdam attic for over two years during World War H. The diary was discovered by Anne's father, Otto Frank, after the war and was published in 1952. The movie version was releaesed 1959.

Playing in the L. C. production of the stage script will be Margie McDonald as Anne, Lloyd Bryant as Mr. Frank, Pat McGuire as Mrs. Frank, with Charles Jones, Gail Woodruff, and Larry Thomas as the Van Daan family members.

Beti Lowery will be seen as Margot Frank, Renfroe Watson will play Mr. Dussel, and Mary Ann Wages has the role of Miep. Pete Hubbard rounds out the cast as Mr. Krahler.

John Reed is production co- ordinator for the show and Al Bush will stage manage. Prof. Jarrell Hethcox has designed the set.

The Diary of Anne Frank re- veals the story of a girl on the threshold of adulthood struggling for a place in the world about her. Except for brief opening and closing scenes, the action of the play is centered in the attic of a warehouse building where two Jewish families and a dentist are hiding out from the Nazis. The diary records the events of the self-imposed captivity and the personal thoughts of Anne (1929- 1945).

The production will be presented on Thursday night, February 25, for the students and on the following evening for the houseparty guests. Performances are set for 8:15 in Dobbs Auditorium.

The SCA has been cited by the faculty for promoting the sale of paper-back books on campus.

The Upper Room, the world- wide devotional guide now in use by 11 million Christians of many denominations in 100 countries, is celebrating its 25th year of service this month, according to information given the SCA reporter.

Since it started publication in 1935, total distribution has ex- ceeded 250 million copies. The Upper Room appears in 37 separ- ate editions in 31 different languages and Braille for the blind. It is in use by 70,000 churches and has a pre-issue distribution ex- ceeding 3,275,000 copies, according to Dr. J. Manning Potts, editor.

CAMPUS TRADITIONS By BETI LOWERY

What's in a name? This question suddenly arises as we view the activities and clubs of LaGrange College in 1917-1918;

Such a courageous name as the Merryweather Klub could have no other motto than "merry — re- gardless of weather." How faith- fully this motto rang as the girls bravely smiled through wind and dismal twilight to breakfast each morning.

With twelve members enrolled, the Sister's Club decided not to elect officers; there was too much rivalry. In order to maintain con- genially among the various per sonalities, they chose for their motto "He that controlleth his tongue is greater than he that taketh a city."

The "Honery Members" of the F. I. S. totaled four, pursuing "To make them wild, simply wild over us." This could by no means be mistaken as the Lonely Heartes Club, or could it?

With needle, thimble, and thread, one dozen ladies in wait- ing formed the SoSo Club, with the luxury of scissors for cutting up!

Meeting in Dreamland, the six Dreamers chose for their flower none other than the Moon Flower. Their song, "Do You Believe in Dreaming?" unmistakable dis- closes their purpose.

Stepping in were thirty-two Midnight Slippers with their Lady's Slipper Flower. As magi- cal as Cinderella came this chant at the stroke of twelve: "Skip, and the bunch skips with you; sleep, and you sleep alone."

Perching from the limb of "Any Old Tree," the Nut Club met and indulged in their favorite occupa- tion—"cracking nuts." With seven choice nuts, they had a cracking good time.

No college is complete without a Labor Union! In 1917, six girls formed such an organization, meet in the Slave Yard to fulfill their motto: "Here we rest." Placing the club's interest fore- most, yet holding each member's interest in thoughtful considera- tion, the girls aimed "to work to avoid all work."

With a swimming pool in the basement of Hawkes, in the room presently occupied by the Campus Store, the girls felt a need for a swimming team. Choosing for their motto "Sink or Swim," fif- teen girls formed The Anette Kellerman Klub.

Eight KentucKiaus were repre-

sented in the Kentucky Klub in both 1917 and 1918. Proudly singing "Old Kentucky Home," the girls reflected the charm and grace of their own native state.

The name Ga.-Fla.-Ky. Club could be very deceiving, for its titles of offices range from "Chief Can-opener" to "Chief On-Look- er." As connosseurs of fine taste, they chose for their motto: "Eat as long as you have a taste, so nothing at all will will go to waste." Living by the code of their club the thirteen tasters of 1917 met "where they could find the most to eat."

The Border Club, true to tradi- tion, was established because "more have flocked to arms than to any other profession." The 1917 Troup upheld their motto: "Arms and the Man."

Sororities were plenti«is, some existing with only four or five members. Some of these were Psi Sigma, Delta Phi Sigma, Beta Tau, and Chi Chi Chi.

The Tennis Club engendered

new competition among the classes. How difficult it must have been to reign true to the motto: "Hit 'em every shot!"

The two thriving literary socie- ties were the Irenian Society, with an average of 63 members over this two year period, and the Mezzofantian Society, with an average of 49 members. The girls were given the opportunity of joining the society of their choice, for there were no bars on membership.

Other organizations included the Young Woman's Christian Asso- ciation, Glee Club, Dramatic Club, and Student Government.

Noting the list of the various activities, it is realized that the 1917-1918 L. C. student had wide- spread interests. Her personality development sparkled in all facets, for she loved people and discovered sincere sisterhood.

What's in a name? YOU are in a name. Today you are making or breaking the names and traditions of L. C.

Yours is a sacred task to pro- tect your college and its units of activities, so that its name will remain untarnished and as sterling as silver.

ing of the League, Prof. Sellers fondly remarked that "These are some of the best examples of poor photography I've ever encountered."

Sarah Killian is LaGrange Col- lege's first panty-raid victim. Some of her clothes were borrowed for the clothesline decora- tions at the Twirp Dance and they got lost in the aftermath of clean- up after the party. Sara would ap- preciate any information leading to the recovery of her "- s.

Margie McDonald temporarily stopped the "Anne Frank" re- hearsal with her remark about a wobbly table she was working with. "This table," she kidded, "reminds me of my personality."-

Dr. Melson left his interpreta- tion of the Parable of the Good Samaritan on the board of the new Bible room for the other classes which meet there to enjoy. It goes, "Beat him up, Pass him up, pick him up."

Dr. Henry tells of an LC infirm- arian of recent years, Mrs. 0. G. Murphy of West Point, who was a champion of the good name of this institution during a gossipy session of bridge. One lady remarked, "I've been hearing terrible things about LaGrange Col- lege girls. I hear that they are slipping out after hours to meet boys." Mrs. Murphy came back with, "My dear, are you just now hearing that? Why, it's been going on for over a hundred years."

Student Government member Bryan Dobbs, kidding about a current discipline problem: "I don't want to get drunk, I just want to see what all the hollerin's about."

Letters To The Editor

Dear, Editor, Can't the ugly signs which clut-

ter up the dining hall be taken down (permanently) before the houseparty? I would be mighty embarrassed for my guests to see that we need to be told how to be good little boys and girls.

I don't see why the dining hall doors must be locked before serving time, either. Most of the breaking in line occurs on the walkway leading from the Little Store to the east door of the dining hall, where we have to stand in the cold.

Wondering.

Quadrangle Goes To Press In response to many inquiries,

the Quadrangle staff has announced that the yearbook copy has been completed and was sent to the publisher, Foote and Davies of Atlanta, on February 13.

Editor Shirley Fowler cited the excellent photography work in the 1960 edition of the Quadrangle, but failed to comment on the top- secret dedication and cover. The editor stated that students should receive their copies early in May if all organizations and individuals have paid for their pictures.

Late Show The staff of the Hill-Top News

welcomes two more campus per- sonalities to its ranks this week. Sophomore class president Andy Owen becomes Assignment Editor and contributes an editorial for this issue. Professor Answerproof bows in to help complicate all your problems.

Letters to our wise professor friend should be addressed to "Professor Answerproof" in care of the Hill-Top News. Why can't your problem be included when he next comes forth with his ringing cry, "Got a problem, dad?"

Campus poller Jane Nixon goes wild again this week with her personal classified section. "Cam- pus Poll" will return with the next issue.
