J. C. Bailey Resigns Position As L C. Dean Dean J. C. Bailey has resigned,

effective June 15. Dr. Henry expressed much re-

gret in accepting the resignation, saying that "Dean Bailey has made a satisfactory and signifi- cant service to our college. It is with much reluctance that we see him go."

Dean Bailey, who was senior special hazards engineer at the Gaseous Diffusion Plant of the Atomic Energy Commission, has expressed the desire to return to his former position at Oak Ridge. He feels, according to his resignation statement to Dr. Henry, that his training and ex- perience in scientific work better suited him.

"In many respects, it was with deep regret that the decision was made to return to my former position," Dean Bailey says. "I came to LaGrange College feeling it an honor to be associated with such a strong liberal arts col- lege and this sense of honor re- mains with me. All my associa- tions with the administration, faculty, and students have been most pleasant and I have the warmest personal regards for them all."

"However, all my training and my working experience have been related to technical or scientific responsibilities, and after a year away from this type work I feel a strong desire to return to my former career."

"I feel that LaGrange College has made outstanding progress under Dr. Henry's leadership," he continued. "I am convinced that the future wfll see further

MISS EMILY WOODWARD Banquet Speaker

PAGE TWO THE HILL-TOP NEWS THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1960

A Job For All Recent events on campus have borne out a pet

theory that we have had all along: if the many cap- able students at this institution will put their will- ingness, abilities, and enthusiasm together in a con- certed effort, near-miracles can be accomplished.

The step singing competition, an event of the recent Fine Arts Festival, was the best ever. Each of the five participating groups did themselves proud, presenting their selections with charm and clever- ness. The judging task must have been a stiff one, indeed!

The cast and crew of "Saint Joan" has also found reward in working together with enthusiasm on a task. They have been invited to present "Saint Joan" at South Georgia College in Douglas, which they will do on May 19.

The production of the 1960 Quadrangle must have been a similar labor of love (and blood and sweat and tears). Certainly the staff has taken great

' pride in the results and in the congratulations of the students and faculty on a job well done.

The May Day program of last Saturday was, again, the best yet. Students have worked hard in helping Miss Wood put together a fine program for the May Day visitors.

Other examples of what can be done when we get together to tackle a job together are current. It is our hope that this spirit will continue and spread on our campus. As the college grows, this coopera- tiveness and enthusiasm can make a great contribu- tion. Students will get to know each other better by working together. And, just as important, more "near-miracles" can be wrought.

Dean Bailey Resigns The announcement last week of Dean J. C.

Bailey's resignation was greeted with a good deal of regret by the LaGrange College student body. His decision to return to his scientific work at Oak Ridge was a sad one for everyone here.

Dean Bailey has done an excellent job on the campus this year. Both as an administrator and as a teacher, he has accepted his task with enthusiam. He has had the respect and admiration of all the students, due in no small part to his sense of fairness and level-headedness in any problem.

Students have felt as much sadness at the news of Dean Bailey's resignation as they had previously felt job at the news of his coming. It is with regret that we see him go.

It is our hope that a man of equal capabilities can be found to succeed Dean Bailey, but this is not an easy task for the administration and trustees. The new dean must be able to fill big shoes, since we have been accustomed to capable leadership from the dean's office for many years.

In conclusion, we offer Dean Bailey our good wishes as he returns to his former position. He will surely be missed.

HOLIDAYS? Representing the SGA Council, Sylvia Cowan

and Jimmy Trice will meet with Dean Bailey at 4:00 today in an effort to delay the return date after Christmas holidays. Support them by letting your opinion be heard on the problem.

Confetti By Ray Barfield

Since "Confetti" 's last outing, the campus has been a-buzz with late spring activity. Students pran- ced and danced in preparation for the annual May Day program, which arrived complete with bon- gos and volcanoes. After a week of threatening weather, the rain DID decide to come—at the most inopportune time—on May Day. This, however, proved a small deterrent to the feasting, program- presenting, and greeting of par- ents and alumni.

The dancers danced and the May Court—courted!!?!

The Art League went literally "to pot" as Prof Sellers lectured in the Maidee Smith garden. Soro- rity and fraternity members show- ed great originality in the pre- sentation of their step singing selections. The Kappa Phi's shed tears (happy ones) while the Gam- ma Phi's shed cheers. The major- ity of Dr. Epps' Creative Writing class decided that poetry-writing was not their forte, per se.

Students began to look toward writing term papers and otherwise bracing up for the end-of-the-quar- ter slaughter which looms over the horizon. Go away, sad thought!

Many are the worried faces of sorority and fraternity members around the quadrangle before the annual step-singing. Among the most preturbed of all was Ronnie Culpepper, who worriedly asked his fellow Pi Delts, "Anybody got any payola?"

Dr. Epps, commenting to her Creative Writing class recently: "That reminds me of a game we used to play. I don't suppose it's been played in a hundred years."

Another much-revered professor, concerned with the number of ab- sences in one of her classes of late, says that "I like to have everyone here when I do my song- and-dance routine."

John Reed, commenting on the band for the May Day dance: "I expected Lawrence Welk but I couldn't find the bubble machine."

Mrs. T. S. Powers, mother of Art League president Tom, added her own bit of brightness to the May Day goings-on with a story about a fellow-Newanite who, in a slightly inebriated condition, took his date to the star-domed Fox Theatre in Atlanta several years ago. After the movie had been under way for some time,

the fellow looked up and des- parately remarked, "We gotta out of here, honey. It's going to rain!"

Janice Townley, noting the ommission of quotes in her inter- view for this issue of the Hilltop News: "He couldn't think of any comments to make that were printable."

Mary George Dean had a ready reply recently when a waitress asked if her party wanted sepa- rate checks. "Y e a h," Mary George quipped, "separate but equal."

Chit Chat Once there was an exchange

student from Thailand Tech named Prince Hameathaleus Let- tacopuanolis Smith, who came to America to major in P. E., with emphasis in soccer.

Hameatheleus Lettacopuanolis Smith arrived on campus one rainy Tuesday evening and was immediately clasped to the hearts of All. (All—"Alice" for short- was such a big girl that she re- quired two hearts). Since All found serious difficulties with the ex- change student's name, she quick- ly shortened it to "Ham Lett," a name by which his fame spread across the campus.

Since Thailandese are known for their remarkable "togetherness," family suicide pacts, and so forth, Ham Lett brought not noly him- self and his tennis racket to Amer- ica, but also a number of rela- tives. There was Claude, whose coming quite inconvenienced the government since he was the king's trusty apothecary; Ham's mother, Gravel Gertrude; and Polonius , the court song-and- dance man.

Immediately a serious difficulty arose because American schools have no accomodations for family groups except on May Day. To add to the problem, the guest room was booked solid. The prob- lem was finally solved in this case by placing a large tent in the Maidee Smith garden. This tent soon acquired added distinct- ion by the addition of a "Sea Rock City" banner.

In the early hours of the first night after the erection of the tent in the garden, Dr. Epps and "Mom" Stambaugh, guarding the flowers, spotted what proported to be a ghost. This aroused quite a bit of commotion at the time, but the incident was forgotten when a taxicab drove up bearing the late- arriving Egyptian exchange stu-

Floodlights By Prof. Kovar

There is a definite beauty con- cerning the right attitude of lis- ening to good music. It is difficult to define beauty, especially beau- ty of music. Opera music with its charm and nobility of sounds rep- resents one of .the truly great achievements of the human mind. All we can say is that there is a definite truth in art, and that it is one of the principle purposes of art to develop a sense of beau- ty.

The Department of Fine Arts presented during the Fine Arts Festival under the direction of Elizabeth H. Gilbert, Director of Music and Irene E. Arnett, Direct- or of drama, Giacomo Puccini's Act HI of "La Boheme" and Gian Carlo Menotti's "The Telephone."

Puccini's music is characterized by a sublime romanticism and classical dignity, vigor, and beau- ty. Even at the first hearing, it is impossible not to Jeel the com- poser's purpose behind the notes to express in sound deep human emotion. Patricia McGuire in the role of Mimi captured the soul of the music and her voice as well as her acting ability united in a har- monious expression of deep feeling for the part. Her tonal interpreta- tion was warm and her action un- usually colorful. Charles J. Jones in the role of Marcel stamped his acting ability upon the perfor- mance and contributed greatly to the success of the evening. Char- les J. Jones knows to act comedy and character, and his subjective interpretation helped him to use fully the actor's freedom of humor and power of pathos to the utmost. The tenor Rudolph (Richard Wil- liams) gave a sensitive perfor- mance. Leaning on the words and story of the drama he added con- siderably to the cantabile melody of the duet with Mimi. His voice was clear and blended easily with the vocal purity of Mimi's part. Musetta staged by Martha Green had force of expression and inten- sity of emotion. There was fresh- ness in her voice, and her play- ful appearance lightened the story of the drama.

Andy Borders as the Sergeant, Fred McBrayer as an Official, Wayne Hilliard, Lloyd Bryant, Don Tatman, Tom Brown, James Mc- Donald, Philip Flynn as street sweepers, Ann Wheeless, Ann Swanson, Frances McKinney, Anne Grahl, Ann Kerce and Har- riette Kuhr as dairy women and Mary Ann Wages as a maid fit- ted well into the set cleverly de- signed by Lamar Lynes. The set was very attractive and extremely convincing. The performance was a success.

After the Promenade Intermis- sion ( a propos Prof. Westafer's idea, and it worked beautifully) Claire Walker and Wayne Hilliard presented Menotti's "The Tele- phone," an operatic presentation. Claire Walker charmed the audi- ence, not only with the extreme- ly sensitive quality of her voice, but also with her skill to create a very convincing picture of Lucy, an utterly spoiled "grande dame." Claire Walker has the quality of voice need for this part. The diffi- cult melodies, the tripping scales of laughter, her precise and in- dependent interpretation are the most expressive characteristics of Claire's gay vocal apparatus. She sang with ease and inner persua- sion. Wayne Hilliard as Ben was well composed and presented with feeling and good intonation his part. The set was a success, and we have to say that Lamar Lynes combined color and form into a perfect unity.

Panther Paws By Jimmy Trice

Fraternity softball is over ex- cept for some playoff games, but maybe it's not too late to write an article such as this.

Many people have walked away after ball games thoroughly dis- gusted with the way things turned out simply because Sportsman- ship (the purpose of our playing) was to a certain extent left com- pletely out.

It seems that the purpose of some people in playing is to try to talk a win instead of playing hard enough to really win the game like it should be done.

Of course, the purpose of the games is competition among the fraternities, but when it causes tempers to fly and hard feelings among fraternities and individuals it has defeated its purpose and should be done away with. It's then doing much more harm than good.

Fun and sportsmanship should radiate from the games instead of contention and anger. Teams should be matching athletic abili- ties instead of wits since they are out there for a good time and be- cause they like to play ball.

This is not aimed at any one fraternity, but to every boy on the Hill who knows and under- stands what I'm talking about.

If we can't have a good time and be good sports it seems sense- less to hurt feelings and lose

Portrait Of Late Dean Unveiled The portrait of Dean E. A.

Bailey, dean of LaGrange College from 1922 to 1959, was unveiled Saturday, May 7, at 11:00 a. m. in Dobbs Auditorium. The portrait was painted by Walter Frobos of Athens, Georgia.

Mr. Frobos is one of the out- standing portrait painters in the Southeast, having been commis- sioned by the Georgia Legislature to retouch portraits of famous Georgians in the State Capitol and to paint others. He has also paint- ed some of the Presidents of La- Grange College which hang in the halls of Smith Building.

Dr. Waights G. Henry presided over the program and unveiled the portrait after some introductory remarks. Dr Henry also spoke to the assembled parents and stu- dents on the progress at LaGrange College, later introducing Dean J. C. Bailey and telling of his deci- sion to return to his former work at Oak Ridge.

The latter half of the program was presented by the music sect- ion of the Fine Arts department, under the leadership of Prof. Wal- ter Westafer. friends over such a small matter that lasts such a short time!

'60 Yearbook Is Presented Tuesday, May 3, at 10:00 a.m.

in Dobbs Auditorium the 1960 Quadrangle was presented to the student body. After the reading of the dedication by editor Shirley Fowler, the grey and red cover was shown for the first time as it was presented to Miss Iona Dilley.

Miss Dilley was quite astounded by the presentation. She expressed her surprise by remarking she previously had had an idea as to whom the annual would be dedi- cated, but she quickly added that it was certainly not herself whom she had in mind.

Miss Dilley has been associated with LaGrange College since 1938, serving on both staff and faculty. Her first position was that of secretary to President Quillian. Then later she began teaching secretarial science courses and was instrumental in setting up that department. In recent years she has also taught Spanish.

Science Students Receive Grants Four LaGrange College science

majors have been granted assist- antships to enable them to do graduate work in the field of sci- ence. Nancy Mitchell and Kermit Floyd were granted teaching as- sistantships in the School of Chem- istry at Alabama Polytechnic In- stitute, Auburn, Alabama. Mike Frosolono will be a teaching as- sistant in the School of Chemistry at the University of North Caro- lina. Margaret Collings will be teaching in the Department of Zoology and Entomology at Au- burn.

Miss Mitchell, and Mr. Floyd will receive their A. B. Degrees in June with a major in Chem- istry. Miss Collings will receive her degree with a major in biolo- gy. Mr. Frosolono has a double major in both biology and chem- istry.

Dr. John L. Shibley, head of the science department, says that this is one of the brightest years the science department has had in terms of students going on to graduate school.

Sorority, Frat Matches Begin Sorority tennis competition is

well under way and fraternity lad- ders have recently been posted.

First round competition is sup- posed to be completed by May 20th and quarter finals rounds are sup- posed to be over by May 25th.

Fraternity winners will aid their frats by giving them points which will be added to the march for the sports trophy and the E. A. Bailey Award.

This year the annual Field Day has been done away with and a track meet will take its place. This event will take place on Saturday, May 21st. Some of the events will include the 100 yard dash, the 220, the 440, the mile, and a sack race.

Chit Chat (Continued from Page 2) dent, Pyramidia Ophie.

Ham-was strongly attracted to this tattooed maiden, who bore the inscription "I'm wild about the Nile" across her forehead. She was also wild about Ham Lett.

This second day on campus, which had begun so early, was quite an eventful one for the tent- ed Thailandese. Since the science department was observing Nation- al Dissection Week, the foreign guests were invited to a demon- stration lecture in the Formal Parlor. Completeing his lecture, Dr. Shibley handed Ham a dis- secting kit in order that he might try his hand. Instead of working on his hand, he worked over Uncle Polonius, who was chasing All Automatic behind the tapestry. Ham shouted, "What, ho! A rat!" Dr. Shibley retorted that Polonius didn't look like any rat that he'd ever dissected.

That evening at supper, the jea- lousy of All Automatic came to an overpowering surge. Ophie, who had developed quite a case of nar- cissism,, was admiring her re- flection in her soup. Miss Auto- matic grabbed Ophie, gave her a fast spin-dry treatment in the soup, and threw her on the floor. Mrs. Handley carried Ophie to the infirmary, but despite the meticulous efforts of the infirma- rian and numerous garglings, Ophie's tattoo faded. All, "Alice" for short, was restricted. Ophie was all wet.

On the second night, the watch- ers again sighted the mysterious figure in the garden. Mr. Overcash cornered the white figure in the coal pile behind Smith. It turned out to be Ham's father, who was trying to sneak into the country without a passport.

Things now took an up-turn for the exchange family. The jealous All and Claude were killed in a rock-and-roll dance in the Little Store, leaving the way clear for Ham and the now-recovered Ophie to be married in the Little Chapel by Dr. Melson.

At last Ham got his degree, but was converted from soccer to foot- ball in the process. Ham and Ophie may be found at home in the Royal Court of Thailand, where a sign above the throne proclaims:

KING HAMEATHALEUS LET- LACOPUANOLIS SMITH, A. B., P. E. AND WIFE.

All of which goes to show that even in scrambled Shakespeare the woman has the last word.

Under the direction of Miss Irene E. Arnett, she has played the roles of "Millie", in Picnic; the roles of Millie, in Picnic; Queenie, Bell, Book and Candle; the school teacher, Teach Me How to Cry; the bride, Double Door; Mrs. Frank, Diary of Anne Fiank. In her senior play Anastasia, she played the title role "with sensi- tive passion and a strong feeling," (quoting Dr. Kovar.)

Last summer, she performed in the Priscilla Beach Theater at Plymouth, Mass. There she was cast in Ladies in Retirement and a musical comedy, The Boyfriend, with a singing role.

Since this time, Pat has been invited as guest singer for various events. Perhaps her greatest sing- ing role can be said to be that of Mimi, in La Boheme, presented at L. C. during the Fine Arts Festi- val this year.

As a grand finale to her four years of training, she will sing the following program for her senior voice recital, accompanied by Joyce Lancaster:

I. "The Violet" by Scarlatti; "Care Selve" by Handel; "A Pastoral" by Veracini.

H. Aria — "Musetta's Waltz" from La Boheme by Puccini.

SCA Maps Plans On Retreat The SCA Cabinet held a planning

retreat at Flat Rock on April 29- May 1. Both the old and the newly-elected members of the cabinet attended. The cabinet members evaluated the program of the SCA for this past year, and then from that evaluation they made plans for the coming year, trying to make those plans rele- vant to the real needs of LC stu- dents. The schedule for the week end included both planning periods and recreation periods.

One new policy which the SCA plans to put into effect next year is that of having some kind of SCA meeting on every Tuesday night. These meetings will be a combination of vespers and SCA Association meetings, for there will be both a program and busi- ness session each time. This means that there will be no more vespers on Thursdays. Also, on one of these Tuesday nights each month, the SCA committees will meet, just as they have this past year. The purpose of this new plan is to try to have some kind of SCA meeting each week which will affect every student at La- Grange College. The SCA Cabinet will meet on two Thursday nights each month.

The SCA decided that next year only those who can go on retreat should accept nominations for of- fice. Also, there will be only one unexcused absence from SCA Cabinet meetings each quarter. If a cabinet member goes over this limit, he must resign from the cabinet.

Mary George Dean, SCA presi- dent, appointed a steering com- mittee which will make plans for SCA week during the orientation period next year. The committee is composed of Sylvia Cowan, Millard Beckum, Laura Williams, Susan Sheppard, and Mary George Dean. Next year the SCA plans to have sophomore counselors for new students instead of SCA friends. A sophomore is to be selected for every ten new stu- dents, and these sophomores will serve as counselors until the big sisters and big brothers of the new students are revealed.

Ray Barfield was appointed chairman for the book committee next year, but the other members of the committee have not yet been appointed. This committee will be in charge of selecting and ordering the paper-back books which sell in the Little Store.

The SCA plans to put on the doors of the Little Chapel signs which encourage people to use the chapel only for worship pur- poses, and not as a short-cut. The Cabinet also recommended that the committee in charge of chapel programs be composed of students as well as faculty members.

Those attending the retreat were Mary George Dean, Louise Ayres, Janice Townley, Mary Wheeler, Suzanne Cooper, Susan Williams, Leona Maddox, Ann Knight, Jim- my Benefield, Marianne Whelchel, Susan Sheppard, Sylvia Cowan, Millard Beckum, Laura Williams, Virginia Robinson, Ann Gower, Ann Brake, Elaine Bell and Dr. Margaret Cubine. Donna Hiers and Ed Nelson also went with the group to help with the evatluation.

LaGrange College has contri- buted more to World University Service this year than any year previously. The old record for WUS contributions was $320.97, which was the amount given year before last. This year's contri- bution presently stands at $322.83, but Emily Paxton, former chair- man of the World Relatedness Committee of the SCA, reports

that much of the money pledged at the WUS auction has not yet been collected. LC hopes to send in at least $350 to WUS head- quarters by the end of the quarter.

"The World Relatedness Com- mittee wishes to express its ap- preciation to all LC students and faculty members who have co- operated so splendidly with us on our WUS projects," states Emily. "Without the fine backing we re- ceived for Faculty Stunt Night, the pledge service, and the WUS

! auction (which alone made $100), 'we could never have made this year LC's best in WUS contribu- tions."

Relics of the past together with representatives of the Modern day world, accented by nature's paint brust, adorn the hill. However, to behold this beauty in growing ap- preiation, one must first glimpse its development.

A home, on the grounds of the present day Smith Dorm was do- nated in 1831 for the sole purpose of educating young women. At this time, LaGrange Female Academy was the only school for girls in the world.

This early structure, included the area of Mr. Thomas's office and the formal Parlor, but was later enlarged to its present size. Yet, it is interesting to note that the bricks used in the original were hand-made by colonial slaves from red clay taken from this very hill. How skillfully the crafts- men matched the bricks support- ing the extension of the building.
