Gala homecoming activities at LaGrange College were held last weekend. Hundreds of local and out-of-town alumni, plus friends and relatives of the student body, were present. The Alumni Direc- tor, Mr. Alan Thomas, reports that a total of 150 alumni and f.iends were present at the activities.

The alumni program began with registration and was followed at the eleven o'clock alumni meeting in Dobbs Auditorium by a panel discussion of the college's academic program.

A barbecue luncheon was served at mid-day, and the first an- nual alumni banquet was held at 6 p. m. This banquet was attended by alumni and the graduating seniors.

The queen of homecoming activities was lovely DIANE ALFORD of LaGrange. She

was chosen from twenty-six LaGrange College beauties, spon- sored by many campus organiza- tions. The candidates were as follows:

Sandi Burgess of Fort Lauder- dale, Fla., Student Christian As- sociation; Dianne Alford of La- Grange, Gamma Phi Alpha; Su- zanne Cooper of Athens, Tenn., Women's Athletic Association; Marianne Hughes of Camilla,

LC Choralaires Present Handel's 'Messiah' Soon

By GERALD SMITH

Probably no other piece of clas- sical music, with the possible ex- ception of Beethoven's Fifth; Symphony, is as popular or well- known as the "Messiah" by Geor- ge Frederick Handel.

The great HALLELUJAH CHORUS, the highlight of the or- atorio, has remained firmly em- bedded in the repertoire of world music since its first performance in Dublin, Ireland, in April, 1742, and legend has it that the King and Queen of Great Britain were so moved by its strains that they stood up and remained standing until the last exultant "Hallelujah!" died away. This simple act, in recognition of God's illimitable love and power, has become the custom of audiences even today as this chorus is sung, and the music itself remains a masterpiece of counterpoint and sheer beauty.

For the first time ^since 1956, the LaGrange College Choralaires under the direction of Mr. Walter Westafor are presenting this work on Sunday, December 3, 1961, at four o'clock p. m. in Dobbs Au- ditorium.. The soloists are Mrs. Claire Bowles, soprano, Miss Carlene Hamilton, contralto, Mr. Fred Allen, tenor, and Mr. Qsmos Lanier Jr., bass.

Mrs. Bowles, a native of Al- bany, Georgia, is a senior at La- Grange College and a member of the Choralaires. Last Christmas she portrayed the "mother" in the production of AMAHL AND THE NIGHT-VISITORS.

Miss Hamilton, who lives in Atlanta, is a former student of LaGrange College and a former member of the Choralaires.

Mr. Allen, a resident of Colum- bus, Georgia, teaches public sell-, ool music and directs a television musical program. He is an alumnus of LaGrange College and a

former president of the Choral- aires. While studying here at La- Grange he was a voice student under Miss Elizabeth Gilbert and the student assistant director of the Choralaires.

Mr. Lanier also is an alumnus of this college and is, incidentally, an ex-classmate of Mr. Allen. He is a former member of the Cho- ralaires and a student of Miss Gilbert. He now serves on the faculty of LaGrange College as a teacher of Social Science.

The accompanists for the Cho- ralaires are .Miss Elizabeth Cole- man and Mr. David Heck. Miss Coleman, who will be at the piano, is a native of Perry, Georgia, and a senior here at LaGrange College. She is a music major and is serving this year as the piano accompanist for the Choralaires. Mr. Heck, who will be at the or- gan, is a sophomore at the college and a native of Newnan, Georgia. He is majoring in appli- ed music.

'Members of the Pre-ministerial Association will serve as ush- ers for the program.

The Choralaires have been re- hearsing daily in anticipation of a brilliant performance, and the director, Mr. Westafor, extends a cordial invitation to all who wish to hear a great work of music presented by LaGrange College's well-known choral organization.

Current Events Quiz Are You Keeping Informed?

The world could be predicted to end tomorrow and few students at LaGrange College would know it! A recent survey showed that only 17 out of 40 students on 'campus read the newspaper at least three times a week. For this reason, the World-Relatedness Committee of the SCA will seek to arouse your curiosity by presenting a series of news question- naires. See if you can answer the following questions.

1. How many nuclear tests has Russia made since September 1st?

2. Who is the acting Secretary- General of the U. N.? What are his powers? When will his term

expire? 3. Who is the president of

Ghana and what type of government does he advocate for his country?

4. How many members are in the United Nations? Since fifty of these countries are Afro-Asian, how will their nationalism affect the total interest of the U. N. in regard to the U. S.?

5. What are the chances that the U. S. will put a man into space this year?

6. What are Indian Prime Min- ister Jawaharlal Nehru's views on the neutralistic block?

If you cannot answer these questions, we recommend that you consult a daily newspaper which can be found in the library or in the lobbies of the dormitor- ies.

Intellectual Atmosphere? When I first transferred to LaGrange last year, I was

very impressed by many of the school's assets. It is true that LaGrange can be proud of the quality of its courses and in- struction, but all the good things that may be said about college as an institution of higher learning are all oversha- dowed by one great fault — the lack of an intellectual atmosphere.

The atmosphere of a school is synonomous with the at- titude of its students. Here at LaGrange we are rebelling against education rather than making it the single important purpose of our college days. We are eager for water and shaving cream battles; we are eager for parties and good times, but we are not eager for an education, which is the real purpose of this institution. This is the basic cause of our fault — a lack of knowledge and the quest of it.

This lack of interest in education is displayed even in our conversation. Academic matters are seldom, if ever, dis- cussed outside of class, for we students have not developed an interest in cultivating our minds. We are "hollow men, our headpiece filled with straw," and we do not have the desire to fill this hollowness with a thirst for learning.

Although students here at LaGrange are quick to criti- cize both faculty and administration, they cannot blame the lack of an intellectual atmosphere on the faculty. It is a student centered problem, and a problem that can be solved only by the students. Before an intellectual atmosphere can be created at LaGrange College, its students must first realize the importance of education. When we achieve this re- alization an intellectual atmosphere is the inevitable and only possible result, and with its creation LaGrange College will move into its "Golden Age" of existence.

FRANKLIN'S EPITAPH REVISED EDITION

The Body of

Benjamin Franklin, Printer (Like the cover of an old book,

Its contents torn out. And stripped of its lettering and gilding)

Lies here food for worms. Yet the work itself shall not be lost.

For it will (as he believes) appear once more

In a new And beautiful Edition

Corrected and Amended By

The Author

Upon reading the self-written epitaph of the great Benjamin Franklin, a deep insight into the realm of both life and death is ob- tained. Notice how Franklin realized that the material gains of life could not "be taken with him" in his venture into the world beyond. One thing was not to be lost, however, and that was the "work."

We all need a central power by which to guide and mold our lives. At times, this center must be found within us. Admiral Byrd tells of becoming lost in a blizzard at the Pole though only a few feet from his hut. Knowing that wandering around aimlessly in the stfcrm could mean the loss of his life, he took a long pole which he carried to probe in the snow for crevasses and tied a bright scarf to it. This he stuck into the snow at his "center." He would then go for several yards in one direction until he almost lost sight of the scarf. As long as he could still see his "center", he knew he was safe. In this way, he soon found his hut.

There are other guides which come from places other than within. Robert Louis Stevenson tells of his early childhood as a sickly lad in Edinburgh. One of his favorite pastimes was watching the old lamplighter as he made his rounds each evening. In reliving this event, Stevenson made this observation: "I remember only one thing about that old lamplighter; wherever he went, he always left a light behind him."

Life is not so lonely as it sometimes may seem to be. There are guides and help for those seeking them. Christ speaks to our loneli- ness in at least two ways. When we have taken Him into our hearts, there is an inner guide, a "center", which will help us not to lose our way.

Christ also "left a light" when He walked this way, that we might not have to walk in darkness, but that we might know that there is One in whom we may place the same trust expressed by Franklin in "The Author."

As this quarter draws to an end, students are busy starting on term papers thit should have been done weeks ago. It's indeed a shame that school has to be ruined by the work. How plea- sant life would be without the drudgery of papers, quizes, and finals. Perhaps someday the school will realize that social life is better for the student than mere book-learning.

The past week saw another LaGrange first, as the brothers of Pi Delta Kappa joined together to present the girls with an in- formal serenade. Sigma Nu also got in the fraternity spotlight by initiating their boys into the leg shaving club. IN BRIEF

Ann Monroe has been enter- taining her fellow students with tales of Miss Carrot and other Cartersville personalities.

John Glisson, after seeing a bloody hand on T. V., came forth with the classic of the week: "Boy, what a hook that must have been."

It has been reported that Mrs. Hanson is quite upset with Andy and his Student Government for placing her chief source of in- come, Millard Beckum, on re- striction. Mrs. Brown has the same problem with roommate, John.

George Timmons, cartoonist for the HILLTOP NEWS has found the perfect answer to the problem of avoiding study. Get a banjo and Thunderbird and you've got the whole mess solved.

News Stump By RICHARD CARLTON

Everyone is concerned with his own little world and his own pet- ty problems. We can all offer suggestions and complaints on how things are going and being run, but one never really knows what he would do in a given situation unless he were placed in it. We can all say what President Kennedy ought to do, but would we do the same?

Berlin is receiving world attention with her cold wars, tear- gas wars, and her inability to cope with it all because of the interference of the occupational forces — Allied and Soviet. Let alone, Berlin could unite and Germany would again be a power among powers.

Our bombs are still of major importance. Some builders never had it so good and seem to enjoy capitalizing on another's fears. As stated in the preceding HILLTOP NEWS, what good is a fallout shelter if the neutrons from the nuclear bomb will penetrate both concrete and steel walls, killing anyone inside?

Our attention needs to be drawn not only to local affairs, but state and national as well. The world situation affects us whether we are fully aware of it or not. What can be one's opin- ion of the world situation when he does not know of what another is speaking? Read and Heed.

Dance Climaxes Homecoming '61

By JENNIFER GLASS Society Editor

Saturday night the Homecom- ing Dance climaxed all Home- coming activities for 1961. This gala affair was held in the gym. The theme was "Moments to Re- member." It was carried out with numerous decorations, such as a replica of the LC arch with steps. This was supposed to give the il- lusion of going up on the hill. There were a boy and girl going ories. Balloons and crepe paper were used also in the decorations, and the balloons were released at an appointed time during the dance.

The music was furnished by The Sounds from Atlanta, and the Homecoming Court was presented during the intermission. They consisted of the following: Diane Alford, Queen; June Bran- non, maid of honor, and members of the court, Myron March- man, Marianne Hughes and Cindy Bennett. Each contestant was presented, with her escort, and the following dance was lead by this good-looking group.

Refreshments were served throughout the evening in the lobby. Members of the faculty and staff were invited to serve as chaperones.

Certainly credit is due to Geor- ge Coker, general chairman, and his committee members for an occasion that will long be re- membered by those who attended.

Prof. Ezra Sellers Reacts To Article

By MICKEY JOHNSON

"It is interesting to see how some outsider interprets me and my family," said Mr. Ezra Sellers concerning a recent article in La- dies Home Journal concerning him and his family. "I've often wondered how I looked to other people."

Mr. Sellers was pleased with the article because, as he says, "It put emphasis on things that are emphasized in my own life." He named his college, his church, and his family.

He added that he wondered if he looked this way to other people around him.

In answer to the question about outside reaction, he said that he received lots of calls, both local and long distance. Besides the calls, he got many letters from interested people who had read the article, some from as far a- way as Washington State.

Also, there were letters from students that had moved away. These letters included notes from Ohio, New York, Wisconsin, and Texas.

Over all, Mr. Sellers said that

In The Spotlight By PROF. JOSEPH KOVAR

(Ed. Note: The editor wishes to express his appreciation to Dr. Kovar for writing this article.)

Among modern American plays, "The Glass Menagerie" by Ten- nessee Williams has a dimension of significance, not because of spaciousness, flood of wit or rhe- toric elegance, but because of the unconventional vitality expressed through the presence of true human relationships.

Amanda, portrayed by Gail Woodruff, showed again a natural ability to catch the audience's attention in scenes which project a humorous situation, and the scenes in which Amanda, in the play, seems to be growing tired of the formless and empty hope for a better future for her child- ren, filled with tragedy still nur- sed with a spark of hope and the last effort to defeat the heaviness of time. In these scenes Miss Woodruff's talent for comedy did not fully respond to the role. In the colored set of the glass puzzle of life one significant piece was missing, the piece of reality. The inevitable tragedy was the only one logical answer to the con- clusive torment of a disappointed mother.

The play appealed to the audience, who enjoyed Amanda's dash of comedy as the "refreshing un- expected" in the frightfully gloo- my environment projected by Amanda's desperate battle against the forces of the social condem- nation.

Laura, portrayed by Cynthia Bennett, was true, tragic, hopeful

he was pleased with th? article and complimented that they should pick him.

No Mistakes Please By OLLIE SUE GAINOUS

Feature Editor (Ed. Note: This is the first in a

series of articles about students on campus with interesting hobbies or talents.)

Now some people hold the theory that you should learn by c'.oinr;. If ycu ir.ake a mistake you should pi-ofit by it. Yet, in learning some things by practice there is a necessity of being correct the first time. Especially if the skill you are seeking to master is that of flying an airplane.

Perhaps some of you at L. C. realize that we have a "pilotess"

and gentle. Michael Lane, as narrator, fill-

ed the milieu with the necessary flexibility, only sometimes, it seemed to me, with more deduc- tive than inductive pathos, and at times did not stir enough the viewer's aesthetic appetite for the next episode.

Tom, portrayed by Michael Lane, and Jim, portrayed by Al Pinson, were convincing on the stage and contributed greatly to the success of the evening.

It was an enjoyable evening for the few of us who had courage enough to overcome our common enemy, indifference, and to re- ach for some additional rudiments of culture. There is some justi- fication in the modern condemna- tion of Dr. Rabilais' Abbey of Theleme; however, we are not too prominent in filling pantheons of art and literature either. "Mea culpa" would indeed sound from us as genuine as it would sound from the creator of Gargantua and Pantegruel.

I would suggest to serve after the Saturday night performance a "potage aux queues de boeuf;" it may provoke even some interest in scholarship and art appreciation.

among us. For those of you who have missed this knowledge, she is a slender, blond-headed junior who spends the majority of her time in the biology laboratory. For further identification, she is the president of the junior class, Helen Herd.

Helen started her pilot's career when she was seventeen, under the direction of her aunt, who is a flight instructor. As Helen says, she learned by doing. Her first race was a Powder Puff Derby which she flew with her aunt. Each flier has his life insured by a sponsor. For this race Helen's sponsor was Van der Horst of Tereell, Texas. Each time she flies her life is insured up to a million dollars. She and her aunt were disqualified from this race due to a forced landing in Mon- tana. Her next competition was the Northeast Regional, an ef- ficiency race, in which Helen won first place.

During her years as a pilot she has flown over Mexico, The Ba- hamas, and most of the United States. She has landed on roads, highways, river banks, and cow pastures.

In some way Helen hopes to correlate her flying with her major in biology. As she continues to fly and learn, may she make NO MISTAKES, PLEASE.

PANTHER TRACKS....

Gamma Phi In The Lead By JOHN GIPSON

Sports Editor The games played last week

and the week before have chang- ed the standing on the intra-mu- ral agenda. When last reported, Sigma Nu was out front by one half game, but since that time, Sigma Nu and Pi Delt tied a hard-fought battle 6-6 and Gam- ma Phi beat Sigma Nu 13-2.

The game last Tuesday was a well-fought battle. Sigma Nu won the toss and took the ball on their own 20. They failed to advance the ball and were forced to punt. On the punt Pi Delt was penaliz- ed for roughing the kicker and gave Sigma Nu a first down. They again failed to advance and punted to the Pi Delt 8. Pi Delt then took the ball and connected with only one pass, forcing them to punt. Larry Hornsby caught the punt on his own 30 and, behind terrific blocking, carried the ball 50 yards for the most beautiful play of the game. The PAT was no good. Pi Delt then took the ball to the Sigma Nu 17. Whitman then hit Martin in the right flat for a Pi Delt TD. The half ended 6-6.

The second half was unevent- ful and was marked by outstand- ing defensive play on both sides. John Miller played a really fine defensive end for Sigma Nu.

Who Says They're Puffs?

To end up last week's sports activity, the freshmen and juniors played the sophomores and seniors in a powderpuff game. This game showed the real talent of the girls on the hill and I think some of the boys from the fra-

ternities were scouting for new players. The freshmen won the game 7-6.

The freshman touchdown was scored by Donna Howell and for the sophomores by Dottie Matthews. Neither team could advance the ball well until late in the second half. Janice Barton, while attempting to run back a punt, twisted her knee and took a lot of punch out of the sophs' backfield. The game then broke wide open. The sophs were forced to punt, and on the next play Donna Howell, behind the dangerous blocking of Judy Hayes, rolled the left end and ran all the way to the two before Judy Lynch could overtake her. On the next play she rolled around the same end for the tally. Judy Hayes took over the quarterback spot for the PAT and it was good.

The sophs then took over the ball but lost it to the hard-hitting freshmen, with only 8 plays left in the. game. Donna then rolled out to the left side and flipped a short pass to Barbara Starr, but the pass ended up in the hands of Dottie Matthews and she streaked all the way for the sophs' talley. The PAT was no good and the game was over.

CHAPEL In chapel on November 22, the

Girls' Vocal Ensemble, under the direction of Mr. Sidney Murray, will present a program of Than- ksgiving music. Dr. Ross Freeman of Atlanta will be the speaker.

Chapel for November 29 will be under the direction of .the Curtain Raisers.

On December 6, an Advent program will be presented in chapel. The Choralaires will present Christmas music.

Gamma Phi 13; Sigma Nu 2 By BLANT SMITH

On Nov. 9, Gamma Phi moved into first place when they over- ran Sigma Nu, 13-2.

The Goblins of Gamma Phi struck twice in the opening moments of the game and then coasted to victory.

The first score was set up by a Bob Bailey interception, and Gamma Phi drove in for six points. Collier Westmoreland ran the final three yards for the TD, and the PAT was unsuccessful. Sigma Nu could not move the ball and was forced to punt. A few plays later Collier Westmoreland swept around his own left end behind good blocking and sprinted sixty yards for another Gamma Phi touchdown. The extra point was

made good on a pass to Sam Gip- son.

iln the second half, Sigma Nu received their only two points of the afternoon when they caught the Gamma Phi quarterback in the end zone for a safety.

Both teams were "up" for the game, but it was just not the day for Sigma Nu. The Gamma Phi line was hard to hold, with Gary Dunwoody, Jim Christian, and David Holtberg forming the for- ward wall. John Gipson, Dan Lee, and Ray Bolton also contributed largely to the team effort.

For Sigma Nu, Larry Hornsby and Pete Robinson were con- stantly dangerous pass receivers, while Emmett Mullins and Ted Alford alternated at quarterback.

the game. The starting lineup of yester-

day's game was as follows: Jones and Stevens, guards, Howell and Massey, forwards, and Tuggle at the center post. The boys played their defensive roles good but played a much better offensive game. They also capitalized on an always constant factor in the alumni game, and that is the fact- or of being in shape. The ole timers didn't have that stamina that they used to have and the Panthers put the full court press on from the beginning.

Pi Delt took the ball first on the 20 of Gamma Phi and from that time on controlled the ball for the rest of the day. The Pi Delt offense was working beauti- fully on short passes to the flats and also on delay passes to their blocking back, Blant Smith. With this offense they kept on grinding out first downs and handled the

ball quite well. They scored in the first half on a blocked pass by Johnny Glisson, which was picked up by Blant Smith, who trotted over for the TD. Ted Whitman passed to Blant in the right flat for the PAT. The half ended with Pi Delt in front 7-0

Gamma Phi took the ball first in the second half but, typical of the day, could not move the ball and were forced to punt. Pi Delt again took the ball and moved well with it. Gamma Phi finally got the ball back and with the help of two Pi Delt penalties drove all the way down the field for the score. The final punch was delivered by a great recep- tion on the part of Dan Lee, who made a diving catch for the score. The PAT attempt was blocked by Chuck Stephens and that was all she wrote for the scoring of the day.
