Dear Houseparty Guests,
As president of the student body
of LaGrange College, I want to
welcome you to our campus.
When I came here three years
ago, I was a stranger to the campus, too. But I soon found that
among the students here are some
wonderful friends and inspiring
teachers. Among them there is a
prevailing atmosphere which, I
am sure, cannot be matched by
any other student body in the
state. Those who go to school
here, you will find, are building
up memories and associations
they can never forget. There- are
many things about LaGrange

The Calling of a Christian Student
Author Unknown
To study sacrifically not for my glory, but for God's.
To learn essential things.
To be of real service to the world.
To become sensitive to great principles.
To know great minds.
To become sensitive to the problems of man.
To dedicate my mind to the glory of God.
To exercise my mental facilities and train them
for a lifetime of seeking the truth.
To witness to the Lordship of Christ.
-
P
We Complain, But...
Often during the school year we find ourselves
only seeing one side of things — the bad side. Too
often, in fact, complaints fly in all directions, and
much of this time most of the gripes are without
good reason.
LaGrange College has much to offer the student
who will come to school with an alert and open mind,
eager to take advantage of every opportunity, educational and cultural.
We hope that you, our guests for the weekend,
look us over and evaluate what you see. Remember
the intangible as well as the tangible things here; for
more often than not, the things that we benefit from
most are things of no material value.
Our faculty, you will find to be friendly, understanding, and more than willing to add guidance to
the education they offer. A personal interest in each
student means a great deal, and knowledge rather
than only book learning is the goal of their teaching.
Not only are we proud of our academic standing,
but we feel that our social side is just as important.
LaGrange College has six local social organizations—
our sororities and fraternities—who sponsor social
events during the year. These groups also compete
athletically, and trophies are awarded to the outstanding groups. The LC Panthers need to be commended for their wonderful season, and we the
student body are proud of them, too.
Never to be overlooked, is our spiritual education, and here we are given every opportunity for this
development if we will but take the time. May I urge
you, the college students of tomorrow, to strive to
grow into a well rounded person by never neglecting
any area of education.
We feel that LaGrange College can offer you a
chance to grow mentally, physically, socially and
spiritually. We invite you to accept our LaGrange
College Student Creed as your creed:
Life is mine to live. That I may cherish it
And right royally meet its responsibilities,
I would lay aside that which is
Narrow, selfish, ignoble, and unkind;
The false, superfical, the dishonest
I would shun in thought, word, and deed.
Rather may I cultivate in my college life
Those traits and ideals that will fit me
To weave dreams into realities and impressions
into character,
To meet bravely the hard tasks of life,
To bring joy to those who falter in their tasks.
I would strive to judge more kindly,
Trust more fully, and love more deeply,
That my life may reflect His goodness,
And my soul may grow in the knowledge
Of Him, whom to know is life eternal.
