IMPROVEMENTS MADE FOR COLLEGE DURING VACATION

NEW MEMBERS ADDED TO FACULTY

As the last good-byes were said, the girls from all over Geor- gia and the surrounding states boarded the trains which were to take them to LaGrange College. The girls going away from home for the first time probably had a feeling of excited anticipation mingled with a feeling of awe. But to those of us who were re- turning to our Alma Mater it seemed as though we would never arrive.

And when we did arrive what a sight met our eyes. The col- lege campus had been transiorm- ed. So much shrubbery had been planted. Our swings, benches and jumping-boards had been painted. The walks were newly fixed. Our familiar Quad- rangle had taken on the aspect of ■Shakespeare's Forrest of Arden. Surely some kind fairy had wrought this change during our vacation months. And that is exactly what had happened. The fairy in the person of Dr. Samuel Candler Dobbs, chairman of the board of trustees, has been un- tiring in his efforts to improve and beautify our college. Not satisfied with sharing with us his valuable time and help, he made us ilie gift of six new, pianos.

Dr. Dobbs will be remembered | as the speaker who addressed! fast year's graduating class. His! speech, '"The Ancient Land- marks" has been issued in bulle-1 tin form and may be secured from President Thompson.

There were many other im- provements made during the summer. More seats were added to the auditorium. New furni- ture was bought for the halls in Smith building. All of the dor i■iifory rooms have been calci-i mized and through the kindness of Mr. J. E. Dunson, Jr., each room has been supplied with single beds. Last but by no means least, our swimming pool has been repaired. We hope to get a heating apparatus installed so that it may be used through- out the year.

To the friends of the college, to the board of trustees and es- pecially to Dr. Dobbs, we wish to offer our deepest appreciation and profound gratitude. We feel we lack the words to express our appreciation but we hope our ac- tions in taking advantage of every opportunity offered will show how highly we prize the improvements which have been made for us.

ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE ENJOYED

On Friday evening, Sept. 28, L. C.'s annual "'Open House" was held. "Open House," as it is fondly called, is the formal recep- tion he.d in the college parlors and is an opportunity extended to the young men of LaGrange to call. This affair was most enjoyable this year and over a hundred guests called during the evening. The parlors and halls on First floor Smith were thrown together to make an altogether charming background for the

BOOST THE 1929 QUADRANGLE

Where there is "pep," there is a "rep." That is why the Quadrangle held a "pep" meet- ing in the prayer hall, Wednes- day night, September 19.

The members of the staff wore red and black, the college colors,:

and entered while the student; body was singing the college son;.;.-,. Then making an acrostic! on the word "Quadrangle,' 'the following talks were given:

Quality of the Annual, Miss Sara King, assistant editor.

Unity of the Students, Mhs Julia Teasley, assistant business manager.

Annual as a Memory Book, Miss Alice Tharpe, circulation manager.

Dollars, Miss Louisa Leslie, as- assistant advertising manager.

Rapidity, Miss Eloise White, assistent advestising manager.

Advertisement, Miss Mildred Traylor, advertising manager.

Needs of the Annual, Miss Catherine Chestnutt, photo- graphic editor.

Great College and Annual,' Miss Dorothy Neal, joke editor.

Love of Annual and School, Miss Helen Walker, feature edi- tor.

Energy, Miss Alice Cohen, lit- erary editor.

Next Miss Virginia Smith who is business manager, introduced the faculty advisor, Mrs. 0. M. Abbott; the editor, Miss Manita Hall; and the art editor, Miss Mary Grimes.

Soon the photographer will come to make the pictures. At that time we hope everyone will continue to give the staff the same co-operation that was giv- en in paying for the Annual. We appreciate the enthusiasm in the 1929 Quadrangle, Tor that is what we need.

Remember, the annual is made by the entire student body, for you, and of you. If you have any suggestions let us know.

Let this year's Quadrangle be not only the best ever put out by L. C, but also the best pub- lished by any college the size of LaGrange. "Boost the great Quadrangle

movement, Help the staff to make improve-

ments."

Punch was served during the evening from attractive punch bowls, presided over by Sara

I King, Margaret Partee, Mary ! Alice Holbrook; and an enjoyable j musical program was rendered.

Those assisting the faculty in i entertaining were: Virginia ' Smith, Eloise White, Virginia Pugh, Helen Walker, Catherine Chesnutt, Mildred Stipe, Louisa

FACULTY RECITAL

One of the most important events in the school year is the faculty recital. We look forward to it with eager interest, and it awakes in us a dream, a yearn- ing, a hope that someday we, too, may attain power and skill. Music inspires us to work more faithfully, to trust more fully.

The recital this year was held in the College auditorium, Tues- day, September 25, at 8:00 p. m. There was quite a number of vis-' itors from out in town, and everyone, students and all, went away feeling that the program was all too short. The program was as follows: Humoreske Reger Etude Op. 41, No. 1 Arensky

Prominent Speakers Coming

L. C. is indeed lucky in that within the next month, we are to have two unusually gifted speak- ers with us. Rev. Marvin Frank- lin, pastor of Park Street Metho- dist church, Atlanta, is to talk to us each evening for a week, beginning October 22.

Another treat in store is Nat. G. Long, a prominent member of the Board of Education of the Methodist church, who wll visit the college and speak to the girls on October 18. These men are both prominent in the religious and educational life of the South and their visits will be looked forward to with interest.

Dr. S. C. Dobbs, Principal Speaker.

A large audience gathered for the formal opening of the ninety- eighth session at LaGrange Col- lege Friday morning, September 14, in the college auditorium.

Pies. W. E. Thompson presid- ed, and after the invocation by Rev. R. C. Cleckler, of Rome, Miss Eloise White, of Cnipley, Ga., president of the student " government association, gave a welcome address in which she showed how certain elements make college life a success. The elements are Courage, Obedi- ence, Loyalty, Love and Ever Great Endeavor, which form an acrostic for the word College.

.Miss Sarah Barrett, of Augus- ta, Ga., president of the Y. W. C. A. also gave a welcome ad- dress in which she emphasized the importance of Christ to the College girl.

The relation and interest of the Alumnae and LaGrange, as a city, to the College was given in the welcome address by Mrs. E. C. Herman, president of the LaGrange chapter of the Alum- nae Association.

The principal address was made by Dr. Samuel Candler Dobbs, chairman of the board of trustees. Dr. Dobbs emphasiz- ed the fact that education is not * only an acquired mass of knowl- edge, but is also the ability to use this knowledge to the best advantage. He stressed also the fact that those who possess wealth should by all means place this wealth where it will prove a blessing to them and to their fellow-man. We are very grate- ful to Dr. Dobbs for this wonder- ful and inspiring message and the many other evidences of his great spirit of giving in order to help others.

During the exercises the fol- lowing musical program was given by members of the facul- ty:

Piano solo, "Novelette"—Miss Rosa Muller.

Violin solo—Miss Beva McMil- lin.

Piano solo, "Etude" (Chopin) ---Miss Cornelia Brownlee.

Vocal solo, "Little Star"—Miss Neenah Woods.

Those of the board of trustees present were: James W. Morton, of Athens; Rev. Elam P. Demp- sey, of Oxford; Rev. R. C. Cleck- ler, of Rome; Dr. S. C. Dobbs and Mrs. James B. Ridley, of Atlan- ta; also Mrs. S. C. Dobbs, state president of the Alumnae Asso- ciation.

The gathering was dismissed with a benediction by Dr. La- Prade, Sr.

Welcome, New Girls!

Again the doors of LaGrange College have swung wide open and through tnem has entered a large number of girls to make L. G. their college home. The Scroll staff, as well as all the other old girls, extends to these new girls a very hearty welcome and wish- es to express our joy at having you with us. It is not only our desire to make you feel welcome

our new home, but we want to help, you to enjoy your stay with us.

We are interested in you. We want you to feel that you are im- portant members of our large family and without you our cir- cle would be incomplete. There are manj things that you ear. help us accomplish and we trust that we may be a great help to you.

Again we welcome you to La- Grange and congratulate you upon choosing her as your Alma Mater. LaGrange is already one of the finest colleges in the South, but we want to make this year the greatest and best that she has ever known. We are glad you are here to help us.

A Welcome to All The Scroll staff is glad that so

many of the old girls are back and especially that we have such a large number of new girls on the "hill." We feel sure that we are all going to study hard and at the same time really enjoy our stay at L. C.

Freshmen, we are proud ot you. You have already shown ability and thought!'ulness as a I class and as individuals. Great things are sure to come to you and you may feel assured that you always have the interest and support of the old girls.

Sophomores, aren't you glad you came to LaGrange last year'.' You thought you were having to study too hard and didn't have enough privileges, but after all you enjoyed being a Freshman, didn't you? Now, this year you

That intermission of business, ! or study; that long drawn-out re- ; cess between June and Septem- i ber, more commonly called Va- | cation by students of Education- al Institutions, has receded into

'the past, only to be recalled in 1 our dreams and night-mares, truth-meetings, and bull-ses- sions.

Vacation with it's loves, court- ships, and marriages has fled in- to parts unknown. Most of the girls, and several of the teach- ers have confided that they had the best time of their lives this summer, and How? I wonder?

The beautiful, dreamy, and smiling eyes of one L. C. girl have betrayed her secrets. For in the depths of those eyes one can see reflected there the sparks of a summer romance; the zeal and eagerness of a new Love, the warm affections and steadfast- ness of an "Amadis."

Why do some girls persist in comparing and displaying their coats of tan, and insist in telling their tales of boating and swim- ming, and how many times they

i by the striking, blond life-guard ? it will all wear off, even the coat of tan.

Not one, single, solitary soul have I heard utter regrets that'. L. C. school days have begun. Nor have I heard one new girl say "1 wish I had married John-j ny like he begged me to." In-, stead, every one is happy in her new work, her new interests, and her new crushes, so why long! for Vacation days ? Girls, " 'Tis | done, and since 't is done, 't is past recall."

be accounted for in the fact that bhe wheels are lubricated with

oil of ambition, and I might add—elbow grease. This, along With the keen judgment and the wisdom of experience of those who are chosen to lean us should be the means of a safe and sure trip to success.

It gives quite a thrill to look back on those who follow, the Freshmen, Sophomores and Jun- iors. We are proud of those new passengers and we welcome them on our tours among the paoSdges of learning and the mysterious heights of knowledge.

Sometimes in our travels we encounter obstacles, but those are few and we overcome tnem. We never turn back—we aren't the "turning-back" kind. Just always push forward and accept what each mile post brings to view.

In later life we look back on this particular trip and are re- minded of many incidents by the delightful book full of charming girls—"The Quadrangle," which they sold to us to amuse us in our idle mments of the journey, and also as a remembrance of those happy days. There is also

oior ring and a number oi other pleasant souvenirs which came to "him who waits."

There is the bell! All aboard!

LaGrange College THE SCROLL October, 1928

The Freshman Downs- An' Ups

The Special Class Elects Officers

There are plenty of downs— ril admit that. There are ups too " You get a thorn with every rose, but ain't the roses sweet?" I guess we're getting the thorns now, the roses to! come in the spring—maybe. Anyway, that's the way we feel when we get that dreadful dis-! ease called homesickness.

When we arrived Wednesday, September 12, we were met by some of the upperclassmen who tried to make things easier for us. They introduced us to quite a few L. C. girls, several mem- bers of the faculty, and, believe it or not, even to the members of the Sophomore class. The freshmen on the first day didn't exactly understand why we should" have met them but it made no difference because all of them were actually polite.

Later we were taken to our re- spective rooms and found them so nice and clean that it was a pleasure to remain. After sev- eral hours of primping they looked so comfy we were ready for visitors. They came too!

About the first girls we met. were our roommates. Soon we met girls "galore," some knew people we knew and by night we felt quite at home—it wasn't so bad after all. To tell you the: truth I like L. C.

Growing girls are the same the world over and wherever "eats": are mentioned we "prick up our ears " Just saying "the die- titian of L. C." should imply; something. Of course, the fresh- men didn't know just how much until that eventful Wednesday. But from then until now we, as a I class, can give you all the parti- culars. The eats are good—and "super" good. You wouldn't I even realize this was a boarding | school as far as food is concern-| ed. In other ways though, thej Sophomores remind us of it and; quite often, too.

Yes, they do that, and more, too. Why, last week we actually j had to pledge allegiance to the I Sophomore class. The freshmen had to clean their rooms, and, feed them. Last week they got j us up at four! Made us go into j the gym and do crazy things,! like scrambling like and egg and debating on "If so why so? It not, why not?" Uh, uh, they call I that initiation. The Sophomores initiating the freshmen—but let's speak of more pleasant things. .

The glory of Saturday nights! It's the night of nights at L. C. That is called the visiting one of | the week and it certainly is what the name implies. Sometimes you are asked over to Hawkes or maybe someone in Smith in- vites vou to sleep with them.. You usually accept. I did but didn't know that you had such a: good time. We are just novices j in this school of learning, you know, when we spent the night with girls they give the biggest fepsts and such a darling time goes with it. Lights are out at ten-fifteen but the human victro- las usually stay on until about twelve. Of course with the: sound producer smothered, to a certain extent it isn't loud.

This was my beginning. School is going, too, smoothly for ex- citement just now so I will let you read the editorials of the Scroll. However, may I add that! we do appreciate the beautiful welcome we received from La- Grange and speaking for the Freshman class I wish to say that it has made us feel so very much more at home. We do thank you! ! !

The Special Class has reorgan- ized with much enthusiasm for the coming year. As all our officers for the past year were Seniors, we wish you success in your undertakings this year. The officers of last year served both faithfully and well. With Miss Catherine Ingram as president, ably assisted by Miss Elizabeth Halliday as vice-president, and by the Secretary and Treasurer, Miss Carolyn McClendon, and un- der the able directory of Miss Cornelia Brownlee the class made wonderful progress. To the director and former officers we as a class owe much grati- tude. The capable corps of offi- cers elected to succeed these consists of Miss Pinkie Craft, president; Miss Julia Marlin, vice-president; Miss Lucy M. Harris, secretary and treasurer; Miss Elwyn Wallace Scroll re- porter; Miss -Mae Ratcliffe quad- rangle representative.

The Special class consists of all those who are interested in fine arts. We assure you read- ers that this year our fine arts department will be larger and stronger than ever before. This department offers graduate work in art, piano, voice, violin, and expression. Here, let me say, we want to welcome Miss Margaret Chester as our new expression teacher and a new enthusiastic member of out- class. We know you are interest- ed in us and we in you. We ex- tend to you a most cordial wel- come, as well as to the other members of the faculty. We re- gret very much the illness of Miss Hamilton, director of art, and are all eagerly looking for- ward to her arrival.

Not only must I talk of our class, but let me, speaking in behalf of the class, welcome the freshmen on the hill. You are important and without you our college would not be complete. Already the freshmen class has shown marked ability. We love to see you happy and enthusias- tic. Don't get homesick and dis- couraged. Our family is too large for you to become lonesome and blue*. Be happy with us and be- come one of our sisters.

We are glad to welcome you, freshmen, and wish you a most successful year.

We Are Here—the Sophomores

—yes, I suspect you do. That is what Freshmen usually think of Sophomores. We made you do things you did not want to do or even like to do. We "high- hatted" you for a while because we are Sophomores and you are Freshmen. But now let's be friends. We love you, Fresh- men—every one of you—and we want you to love us. We wel- come you to our college and hope that you will enjoy every minute of the time you are here.

Yes, we are—full of wisdom and ambitions and enthusiasms. We are not the least bit down and out, either. We have been busy and have accomplished many things in the two weeks we have been here. We have elect- ed class officers: President, Eleanor Simpson; Vice-Presi- dent, Carolyn Hairston; Secre- tary and Treasurer, Frances Adams; Athletic Representative, Madeline Walters; we have initiated the freshmen into the great Universe, College; we have now settled down fo real work and study.

We have a number of new members in our class this year, and we are very proud of them. Masel Cato comes to us from Anderson College, Anderson, S. C.; Mildred Blackman and Mary Brannan from G. S. T. C, Athens; Mary FJlen Baker from G. S. W. C, Valdosta. They have already helped us with new ideas and plans, and we are depending on them to help us with more new things later in the year.

Now, a word to the Freshmen. ^ OU think we are an unkind class

My, but the Juniors of L. C. have some pep and speed, for they have already started to work by selling eskimo pies and sandwiches. Don't you want to buy some?

Moreover, we have Miss Maude Helen Duncan, as our sponsor. Last year she proved to be a great help and pleasur< to us and we know she will be just as fine this year.

Besides, just look at the Jun- iors who are holding major of- fices on the "Hill": May Beall Yancey is secretory of the Student Government Associa- tion and of the Y. W. C. A. and proof reader of the Scroll; Catherine Chestnut is House President of Hawkes, Photo- graphic editor of the Quad- rangle, and Junior class repre- sentative to the Athletic Coun- cil ; Julia Teasley is chairman of the Tea Room Committee, Assis- tant Business Manager of Quad- rangle, and treasurer of the Ath- letic Association; Mildred Stipe is president of the Spanish Club; Julia Alice Johnson is vice presi- dent of the Student Government Association, Helen Walker is vice president of the Spanish club and Club and Feature editor of the Quadrangle, Sara King is treas- urer of the Y. W. C. A. and As- sistant editor of the Quadrangle, Sara Thompson is under grad- uate representative of the Y. W. C. A. and Carolyn Allan is Jun- ior class representative in the Scroll and Quadrangle.

Every where you look you find Juniors in all that is good and true.

Just here, we wish to extend a hearty welcome to our new Juniors of whom we are proud.
