LaGrange students went to
the polls last Tuesday to elect
the top members of the senior
and freshman classes. Votes
were based on all-round popularity, achievement, and service.
Chosen tops among the senior
girls was Mrs. Mary Faye Horton, the former Mary Faye
Wright of Newnan, who was
named "Miss LaGrange College." Mrs. Horton's martial
status poses a peculiar problem
since the title is "Miss LaGrange", and Mary Faye was
married to Mr. John Horton on
August 3rd of this year. This
is the first time in the history
of the college that this has
occurred.
Malone Dodson of Conley,
Georgia was voted "Mr. LaGrange College" by the votes
of the students. Malone is president of the Student Government.
Other senior superlatives are

Christmas Oratorio And Masque Performed By LaGrange College
The audience which assembled Monday night, Dec.
15th, in Dobbs Auditorium witnessed a unique double presentation. First, one of Bach's major choral works was sung
by the Choralaircs, and then a contemporary masque was
presented by the Curtain Raisers with the choral background
provided by the Choralaircs.
Professor Walter Westafer directs the Choralaires in rehearsal for Monday night's performance of Bach's classic "A Christmas
Oratorio" at the college's traditional Christ-
mas program. Student soloists were mezzosoprano Sandra Daniels, soprano Elizabeth
Brown and mezzo-soprano Emily Eady.
Vocal Groups
Featured For
Next Chapel
The chapel program next
Thursday, Dec. 18, will feature
a musical program under the
direction of Miss Elizabeth Gilbert and a fifteen-minute address by Captain William R.
Eleazer of the U. S. Marine
Corps.
The musical program will include "The Christmas Song"
and "Jingle Bells" by the Sextet; "What Child Is This" and
"Santa Claus Is Coming to
Town" by the Boys' Quartet;
"Gesu Bambino" by Yon, sung
by Sandra Daniels (repeated by
special request); and "White
iChristmas," "We Wish You a
Merry Christmas" and "Winter
Wonderland" by the Sextet.
Captain Eleazer, who is the
Marine selection officer for
Georgia, plans to discuss the
Marine Corps Officer Training
Program. He helps select men
from Georgia colleges for the
platoon leaders' class program.
Later in the day Captain Eleazer
will interview those students who
may be interested in the officer
training program.
Holidays Begin
Classes will be dismissed for
the Christmas holidays on Friday, December 19th, at 1:00
p. m. Classes will resume at

Mrs. Margaret Talbott, Dean
of Students, has issued the following regulations for home
permission: girls who are going
straight home when school is
dismissed will not need permission from their parents. Those
who will go somewhere before
they go home must have their

And Yet Changes Come
It used to be that speaking out against the modern day
treatment of the Christmas season required little more than
the usage of the phrase, "Put Christ back in Christmas."
But even this adage has lost some of its force since it has
been used so often and sometimes inappropriately. It then
takes a ittle more explanation in order to register a complaint.
It is useless to enumerate the Christmas traditions that
should not be broken, the real meaning which should not be
over-shadowed, or the Christ who should not be made fun
of. The paganistic trend and attitude toward Christmas may
well frighten the sincere and sane Christian who finds himself in an unpopular position merely because he refuses to
laugh at one of the Nativity cruelty jokes which have broken
out like a rash on campus.
Somewhere the meaning of the first Christmas has been
covered in tinsel and glossed over by gaily decorated packages. This is not to say that all these gala trappings should
not accompany the season—it is only when they become all
of Christmas that the sacred tie is broken.
Who does not thrill to the excitement of shopping in a
gaily decorated store? Who does not enjoy exchanging gifts
with someone else? Who does not love getting Christmas
cards and making them a part of one's Christmas scheme?
But yet who has not been moved at the sight of the Nativity
scene when the Redeemer of all mankind took on the form
of a small baby? This should not be made the brunt of hastily thought up jokes. And while we enjoy the cute, popular
songs, should they ever obliterate the traditional carols that
announce the birth of the Savior?
The beauty of the Christmas season is as simple as the
shepherds who followed the Star of Bethlehem. The majesty
of Christmas is a grand as the kings who came to worship
the new-born child. The glory and meaning of Christmas lies
in the manger where the Son of God lay. This was the original meaning of Christmas—this is where it got its name, and
now, in 1958, this is what Chritmas should mean.—(L. H.).

Practice Teachers
See Other Side
Of School Life
What is it like to be on the
other side of the teacher's desk?
Two practice teachers, June
Waller and Jerry Binns, are
finding out.
June has run into such perplexing problems as being called "June" rather than "Miss"
Waller and being invited to a
"soc hop" by a seventh grade
student. Fortunately, outside intervention has saved her from
both problems.
June, a second semester junior, will graduate in August 1958
with a major in history and social science. She is doing her
practice teaching at West Side
Junior High School under direction of Mrs. Paul Potts, who is
a LaGrange College graduate.
Jerry Binns, a native of LaGrange, is doing his practice
teaching at his old alma mater.
He, too, has had some unusual
experiences in his eleventh
grade history class at LaGrange High School.
Discipline has been Jerry's
major problem. Perhaps some
of his students are not too young
to remember the time when
Jerry sat in their seats.
Both June and Jerry are
pleased with the progress that
they are making as practice
teachers and are looking forward to the time when they will
take on their duties in a fulltime occupation. (By Kathryn
Erwin).

This exclamation immediately

Panthers Go To
Kansas City If—
LaGrange College's Panthers
may go to a national small college basketball tournament next
March, if — and that is an
especially big word this time.
As a charter member of the
new Georgia Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference and a new
member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, the hilltop cagers will
have a chance to go to the NAIA
tournament in Kansas City, but
there's a long, rough road
ahead.
The playoff winner will be one
of 22 teams in Kansas City
tourney.
■
FORWARD FACTOR — LaGrange College's
tallest basketball player, 6-4 Wayne Copeland,
has been a big factor as the Panthers racked
up a pre-Christmas record of six wins with
only one setback. Copeland has scored an
average of 13.5 points per game and is the
team's leading rebounder with 69.

With the 4th full basketball
season in process many changes
and improvements have been
made since the 1955-56 season.
The first really organized
team came in the '55-'56 school
year. With practically no backing or enthusiasm from the city
the eight-member squad was
destined to be a failure. The
team had no more than 12 supporters at any one game, no
cheerleaders, and had to borrow
cars for out of town games.
Although, the team wasn't given
much hope to begin with, under
the coaching of coach-player Joe
Copeland and Captain Ralph
Johnson the team turned in an
8-8 record.
The '56-'57 season brought
more organization than ever before and the first scholarships
were given. Hiram Reeves was
the first full time coach. The
first new uniforms were bought,
an athletic fund was set up in
the budget, and facilities were
made for transportation, room,
and eating on out-of-town trips.
It was one of the few teams in
Georgia to have "traveling
suits". During that year L. C.
started playing larger colleges.
When the season ended they had
turned in a 14 and 12 record.
More scholarships were given
during the '57-'58 season and
again the team was coached by
Hiram Reeves. The schedule for
the year included games with
more of the well-known 4-year
schools in surrounding states.
Jarrell Underwood and Joe
Copeland were captains of this
team that won 15 games and
lost 8. The status of basketball
at LaGrange continued to improve.
During this, the '58-'59 season,
L. C. joined the G.I.A.C. (Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference). In a pre-season prediction of the coaches of this
conference the "Panthers" were
picked to place second in season
play. Being the first year to
play major colleges a 6-1 record
has already been posted. Olin
Harp is captain of the team
which shows very good possibilities for the remainder of the
year.

Dr. Epps Tells Of Past Christmases ^entful Calendar Awaits
The Christmas season is fast
coming upon us, and as campus
activities gain momentum one
can't help but wonder about the
tradition-bound history of the
college and Christmases of the
past.
Two years ago Dr. Jennie Lee
Epps was honored for having
given twenty-five years of service to the college. To find out
about how Christmas has changed through the years, Dr. Epps
was interviewed about her
memories of Christmas when
she first came, and her opinions
of the changes that have occurred.
Dr. Epps commented on the
Christmas mornings spent at
L. C. that seemed filled with an
expectant attitude. All day long
the Negroes were heard practicing the songs that would be a
recognized climax to the Christmas activities on the "Hill."
Ike, who is here no more, was
the leader of these heart-felt
choruses, and his inspired leadership and his unique personality has left a definite gap.
The excited air of expectation
finally came to a head when,
the night before going home for
the holidays, the students and
faculty met in the small college
dining room to hear and participate in an extemperaneous
program. Oftentimes, Dr. Epps
said, Ike would recite a poem—
not necessarily a Christmas CHRISTMAS MEMORIES —
