Thursday Night Dec. 18 Bfoodmobile Here Dec.15 The night of December 18th is

scheduled to be one of the most memorable nights on the L. C. calendar. This is the night of the annual "S.C.A. Christmas Tree" which honors our faithful cus- todians, maids, and cooks of "the hill" and their families. I Other outstanding events of the evening are Christmas caroling, | sister class parties, and a mid-i night vesper service.

The 'activities of the night will start at 7:00 p. m. in the col-^ lege dining room. Master ofj ceremonies for the evening will be Malone Dodson. Entertain- ment will be provided by some of the students, and carols will be sung by the entire group. Be- fore the program ends Santa Claus will arrive with gifts for all of the honored guests.

Previously, the names of all the employees and their families have been drawn in the domitories by the students. Each student draws a name and buys that particular person a gift.

Immediately following the S.C.A. Party students will divide into several groups to sing Christmas carols to the town folks. Each group will be as- signed a certain section of townj in which to go caroling. At 101 o'clock all groups will meet at i the Callaway fountain in the downtown section of town to sing their farewell Christmas greetings to the people of La- Gran

Later all students will return to the campus for the brother and sister class parties. The Junior-Freshmen parly will be in the dining room while the Sophomores and Seniors will meet in Turner Hall. This is the time when college brothers and sisters exchange their Christmas tokens. Entertain- ment and refreshments are scheduled for both groups, and the various class sponsors will be present.

The area uncovered by the falling plaster was approximately 4 by 8 feet.

The American Red Cross is sponsoring here in LaGrange a Bloodmobile which was in town on Tuesday, December 15. The First Baptist Church was head- quarters for the Bloodmobile while it was here.

At this time of year it is necessary that the blood banks of hospitals be kept full. Holidays bring motorists out by scores

and the Christmas season will account for many deaths and injuries.

Those who signed up to be blood donors from LaGrange College are: Jimmy McDonald, Sherill Spencer, Herman Kah- ler, Renfroe Watson, Mrs. Mar- garet Talbott, Joan Piper, Dr. John Shibley and Donald Finch.

Foreign Students Tell Of Christmas Customs In Their Home Countries

STUDENTS DECORATE — Three LC students from other lands participate in the old American tradition of decorating the Christmas tree. Henrik von Knowing, Lucille Chen and Gudrun Andersson are seen around the tree in Pitts parlor.

BY GEORGE PULLEN The twenty-fifth day of De-

cember is celebrated universally among Christian people as the

(birthday of our Lord. The feel- ing of love and cheer and thank- fulness for the greatest Gift of all time is common in Christmas celebrations. Other customs are

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 popular- ity, achievement, and service.

Chosen tops among the senior girls was Mrs. Mary Faye Hor- ton, the former Mary Faye Wright of Newnan, who was named "Miss LaGrange Col- lege." Mrs. Horton's martial status poses a peculiar problem since the title is "Miss La- Grange", 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. La- Grange College" by the votes of the students. Malone is president of the Student Government.

Other senior superlatives are Miss Betty Jo Croom of Thom- aston, Miss Blanche Flanders of Wrightsville, Miss JoAnne Hay- more of Covington, Miss Char-

Exhibit Opens Last Sunday

A week-long exhibition of paintings, drawings, and water colors by Prof. Jarrell Hethcox of the Art Department opened Sunday with a reception honoring the artist.

The art exhibition, which in- cludes 24 pieces by the La- Grange native and LC graduate, will continue through next Fri- day, Dec. 19, in the Art Depart- ment on the third floor of Dobbs Hall. The majority of the paintings are in a semi-abstract vein.

After his study on "The Hill" under Mrs. Reaunett Everett Vaughn, Mr. Hethcox did graduate work at the University of Georgia under world-famous artist, Lamar Dodd, also a La- Grange native who studied art first at LaGrange College. He also studied under Leonard Da Longa of New York at the University.

While at Georgia, Mr. Hethcox had a 1-man show of his art work and also won several prizes at the Athens Fair. He also has several pieces in the 1958 Southeastern Art Associa-

Exhibit which is currently -uring various cities throughout

Georgia. His army artillery service

which carried him to Germany and other European art centers is credited by Mr. Hethcox with arousing his interest in painting and art.

HILL-TOP NEWS—LAGRANGE COLLEGE DECEMBER 1958

Foreign Students Tell (Continued from page 1) part of St. Lucia, awakens the members of the household on December 13th, bringing them coffee and cakes. St. Lucia wears a bright red sash. On her head is a crown of pine boughs adorned with seven candles. This custom has become com- mercialized as our Santa Claus. A St. Lucia is picked in every town, and then one is picked for the entire country, making a big beauty contest. At school the girl picked to be St. Lucia has handmaidens dressed in white who follow her around with candles in their hands.

Of course the boys have to get into the celebration. Putting on high-pointed hats and stars on them, they become star boys honoring St. Stephens who brought Christianity to Scan- dinavia. The star boys go about singing to St Stephens who is honored on December 26th, St. Stephens Day.

Christmas Eve is the day of tree trimming, dancing, singing, and a dinner of lutfisk, the Christmas fish. In Sweden the children look forward to open- ing the presents and the coming of Jul Tomten, the little Christ- mas Man, on Christmas Eve.

The Fins place a cross on St. Stephens on the door to keep bad spirits out during the Christ- mas Season, and inside every house may be found a small nativity scene. The-ceilings are

decorated with straw and paper stars, and remembering the low birth of the Christ Child, the children sleep on piles of straw. On Christmas Eve every member of the family takes a traditional sauna or steam bath. The Jul Bocken, yule goat, or Joulu Ukko, Christmas man enters the house on Christmas Eve asking if there are any good children there and passing out gifts.

The Christmas celebration ends in both countries with a special Christmas Church Serv- ice early on Christmas Morn.

Christmas in China is much like Christmas in the United States since Christianity is re- latively young in China, and she got her customs from Western countries. The children get holidays from school, and only members of the immediate family exchange gifts.

On Christmas Eve the people dress up in their most colorful costumes and parade up and down the winding streets singing Christmas carols. The parade is ended by the bursting of fire- crackers announcing midnight mass.

No matter how you say it, though, whether in Sweden with God Yul, or in Finland with Hyvaa Joulua, or in China with Ouy-Lo Sain-Tan, or at L. C. with Merry Christmas, it still means joy has come to the world. Be glad!

New Program Airs LC News

A regular weekly program of LaGrange College news went on the air for the first time last Saturday over radio station WTRP in LaGrange.

Under the supervision of the College News Service, the quar- ter-hour program is being con- ducted by Nancy E. Gibson, Terry Kay, and Joe Haynie.

According to George Pettit, station manager, "The news program will help tell LaGrange and the surrounding area of the progress and activities that so characterized LaGrange College these days. Local citizens are wanting to know more and more of what's going on on 'The Hill' and we feel that the program will help serve that purpose."

During the first airing of the LC news program on Saturday afternoon, Haynie served as program announcer and Miss Gib- son and Kay discussed campus news in conversational tones.

After Christmas the college program will probably be broad- cast at a week-day time which will be announced later, say station officials.

S.G.A. Holds Party On Sunday night, December

114th, the Student Government Council and the administration

[held their annual Christmas party in the Formal Parlor of Smith.

The party began at 10 o'clock with a few piano selections presented by Miss Carolyn Babb. Afterwards M a lo n e Dodson, President of the Student Gov- ernment Association, gave some

| introductory remarks and wel- comed the members of the administration. When Malone had finished he asked Dr. Henry to tell one of his stories for which he is noted on "the hill". Dr.

i Henry entertained the group for some time and created a gen- eral atmosphere of ease and informality.

Gifts were presented to Dr. and Mrs. Henry, Dean Bailey, Mrs. Talbott, Mr. Crenshaw, and Mr. Fowler by Malone on behalf of the entire student body.

were hosts at the Freshman Open House.

The families and friends of the freshmen visited the college and were received in the Smith parlors between two o'clock and four o'clock. In the receiving line were Mrs. Talbott, Dr. and Mrs. Henry, Dean Bailey, Mr. Bill Dunagan, a class sponsor, Andy Owen, president, Jimmy Trice, Vice-president, Ann Mon- roe, Secretary, Valerie Jackson, Treasurer, Sandra Thompson and Suzanne Cooper, WAA Rep- resentatives, Ronnie Culpepper, SCA Representative, Martha Middlebrooks and Max Griffis, Student Government Represen- tatives.

The guests included the families and friends from many sec- tions of the state, ministers from LaGrange, and the faculty and student body of the college. In all, approximately three hundred invitations were issued. The decorations, which were predominantly gold and green, carried out a Christmas theme, with refreshments of tea and sandwiches.

During the afternoon Claire Harris, Libby Coleman, Judy Love, and Marianne Whelchel played background piano music.

This annual event was made a success only by the hard work and thorough planning of the In- vitation, Preparation, Hospital- ity, Refreshment, and Entertain- ment Committees. These committees worked closely with Mrs. Talbott, one of their class sponsors.

The Open House was the first activity of the freshmen as a class.

Cabinet Changes On an afternoon retreat to

Pine Mountain on November 15, the SCA Cabinet made an im- porant change in the vesper schedule which went into effect in December. Vespers are no longer held on Tuesday nights. Instead, SCA committee meetings are held on the first Tues- day night of the month, denom- inational group meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday nights, and the SCA Association Meeting on the third Tuesday night. Regular vesper services are still held on Thursday nights. The SCA Cabinet meets on the second and fourth Wed- nesdays of each month.

Opal Weldon has recently been elected to serve as co-chairman of the Worship Committee, and Peggy Price is the new Music Committee co-chairman.

Spirit Reaches High At Rallies

On two consecutive Mondays, December 1st and 8th, respectively, LaGrange College Cheer- leaders and the Letter's Club sponsored Pep Rallies, which were held in front of Hawkes. With student participation, the pep rallies were successful in building up the LaGrange Col- lege spirit and giving the Pan- thers the incentive to win.

During the last pep rally, Malone Dodson, Student Gov- ernment President, presented Dr. Waights G. Henry, President of LaGrange College, who stressed and inspired the students to yield their support at all games. The cheerleaders to- gether with the students backed up the words of Dr. Henry by closing out the pep rally full of the LaGrange College spirit.

Looking ahead, tentative plans are being made for a big bon- fire to be held Monday night, January 5th. This pep rally will be held in order to promote enthusiasm for the Panther's first home game, January 6th, after a Christmas recess playing against Troy State College. Fu- ture pep rallies will be planned once a week for the remainder of the .basketball season and sponsored to keep this necessary and powerful interest alive on the campus and to drive our boys on to victory.

Vocal Groups Featured For Next Chapel

The chapel program next Thursday, Dec. 18, will feature a musical program under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Gil- bert and a fifteen-minute ad- dress by Captain William R. Eleazer of the U. S. Marine Corps.

The musical program will in- clude "The Christmas Song" and "Jingle Bells" by the Sex- tet; "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 Fri- day, December 19th, at 1:00 p. m. Classes will resume at 8:00 a. m. on January 5th, Mon- day morning.

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 parents' permission in Mrs. Talbott's office before they leave.

And Yet Changes Come 1 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 com- plaint.

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 pack- ages. 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 has- tily 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 origi- nal meaning of Christmas—this is where it got its name, and now, in 1958, this is what Chritmas should mean.—(L. H.).

Prevailing Spirit School spirit is an indispensable asset to any college. School

spirit as used here embraces more than cheering at pep rallies and athletic contests, as important as those may be. It in- volves loyalty and support of all phases of the college activities, both academic and extracurricular.

This spirit cannot be developed overnight, or even in a semester, or a year. It must be nurtured and developed over a period of years and must grow as the school grows. LaGrange College is steeped in traditions, some old, some new, which have helped develop its spirit.

Each person who comes to LaGrange is made a part of that spirit. Freshman initiation, not rat day as such, is a pai-t of making new members of the student body a part of the LC spirit. The welcome and acceptance of transfer students also helps to build our spirit.

Pride in the faculty and administration is very much a part of our college spirit. The concern of faculty members for all students is responsible for much of the good spirit on our campus.

Religious activities such as midnight vespers before Christ- mas holidays, "Religion in Life" Week, and all the -religious organizations give moral and spiritual values to our school spirit. <Sf

Pep rallies, cheering the Panthers, taking part in field day, and intramural athletics give us pride in the physical prowess of our school.

The Christmas parties, the plays, the Scroll, the "Little Store," the Quadrangle, the step sings, homecoming, the con- certs, fraternities and sororities, May Day, the singing of the alma mater — all these, and many more, are parts of the La- Grange College spirit.

Perhaps some of our traditions need to be revised. Others may need to be dropped. Still others may need to be promoted. Nevertheless, they are a vital part of our school spirit.

You, too, are a part of the LC spirit. You are responsible for the future of the school.. Let us shun arrogance and conceit. However, let us continue to develop that spirit which makes us genuinely proud of LaGrange College. — (J. H.)

The World's Just A Snowball? Soon after I rolled out of bed

last Thursday morning I heard a rapid, urgent-sounding knock on my door. Unlocking it, an un- usually cheerful voice for the hour greeted me with, "Did you know that it's snowing?" This exclamation immediately changed my drowsy mood, and I ran to the window to behold a world of white . . . Well, almost anyway.

You see, I belong to one of the two major factions into which the college population is divided. There are those from North Georgia who appartnly would not get excited if we had a blizzard, and there are those from South Georgia who make a half inch of snow sound like a world full, especially when writing letters home. I am one of those members of the latter group, so to me we had a snow covered world.

If I have learned nothing else at LaGrange College maybe I have learned to be a little less bohemian. Two years ago when L. C. experienced a similar snow epidemic, our history class got so excited over the falling white particles that Dr. Murray turned us out so that we could play in the snow. Was that fun! However, I have learned in these two years to restrain my- self somewhat. On Thursday morning I sat quietly in my desk, looking out the window, but at the same time keeping both ears open to Dr. Epps lecture.

Yes, snow at L. C. is exciting whether you are from North Georgia, South Georgia, Ala- bama, Florida, or Massachu- setts. It is exciting because it is unusual in this locality. It may seem messy to those who See it all the time, but to most, snow days can't be beat.

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 per- plexing problems as being called "June" rather than "Miss" Waller and being invited to a "soc hop" by a seventh grade student. Fortunately, outside in- tervention 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 La- Grange, is doing his practice teaching at his old alma mater. He, too, has had some unusual experiences in his eleventh grade history class at La- Grange 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 full- time occupation. (By Kathryn Erwin).

Darji To Have Christmas Thanks To S.C.A. (You)

As Santa slides down your chimney this Christmas, you will be happy to know that he is also visiting little Darji in far away Germany.

Many times we get so busy exchanging gifts with family and friends that we forget the true spirit and purpose of Christ- mas. This year in the person of; Darji many of us have been able to show a little of this true spirit.

The members of the Student Christian Association are the foster parents of Darji. As parents we must also be his Santa Claus. This Christmas the S. C. A. has sent to him a red crew neck sweater, a pair of black ivy-league pants, two pairs of socks, a white shirt, and a paint set.

Sometimes we tend to be rather unsympathetic with those near our own age. One particular group of youngsters, however, has demonstrated feelings in opposition to this. June Wall- er's home-room class of seventh graders at West Side Junior High School of LaGrange has shown the true Christmas spirit. They have raised money and sent to Darji a bingo game, and a bag of mixed toys including horses and cowboys. Also, they have included a doll for each of

Darji's two sisters, Anna and Olga.

Let us always remember others—not others who are going to remember us, but others who cannot remember us. Not only at Christmas but all through the year may we let the spirit of Christ shine in our lives. As the spirit shines in our lives, joy will shine in the eyes of Darji and others with whom we come in contact.

Letters To The Editor Dear Editor,

Since I have been on the L.C. campus I have been particular- ly impressed with the poor system we have for making announcements. There have been many times when students have missed important events merely because they failed to go to meals and consequently failed to see the small sign on the steam table. It would seem that this also leaves the town students out of things, since there are a few people who don't read the announcements on the bul- letin board of the Little Store.

Letters to The Editor Dear Editor,

I was thinking the other day that we ought to add a bit of humor to the school newspaper. I believe we capitalize too much on ball game news. Nothing is wrong with this, of course, however, I suggest we might have a Campus Scenes section in the Hill-Top News as the Atlanta Journal has its Street Scenes section. Also, I suggest a comic strip be added, I realize that these things require time and money, but one wise orator once said that our nation was found- ed by big ideas. This can be true of our newspaper, for like our nation, our paper can be nurtured by the ideals of our students and faculty until it be- comes a memorable thing.

Yours truly, Janice Cole

Dear Janice, Thank you so much for your

excellent suggestions. As you already mentioned the finan- cial problem would not allow us to use any type of comic strip. Your idea on having a campus scenes column is a very good one and we shall consider it seriously.—(Editor). Would it not be possible to resurrect the old "announcements in chapel" idea in order to make things a little more organized? Or possibly another way could be worked out. I still feel that the system of making announcements as it stands is inadequate and needs revision.

Name Witheld (Editor's Note—This idea is

a good one in that more than one person has called my at- tention to our announcement policy. Perhaps something can be done in the near future to improve our present method).

Christmas Dance Is Big Success

On Friday night, December 12th, the annual Christmas dance was enjoyed by both the student body and faculty members.

The dance was held at the armory, and began at 9:00 p. m. and lasted until 1:00 a. m. Dance music was provided by a band of five musicians, all of whom serve as band directors in the West Alabama schools.

During the intermission the officers of the newly formed sorority, Delta Phi Delta were introduced and honored.

Refreshments were provided by the Delta Phi Delta and Kappa Phi Delta sororities. Al- pha Kappa Theta and Alpha Phi Beta were responsible for the important task of clean up after the dance.

Panthers Are Impressive In Three Wins As if in answer to a dare, the Panthers went on a prowl

through North Georgia and South Carolina the week-end of Dec. 5-6 and brought home two savage victories: 68-60 over Piedmont College and 64-52 over Erskine College. Then on the following Monday night, in their first game at home, the LC cagers walked away with their third victory in four days.

On Friday night Dec. 5, the Panthers came out on top of a tough Piedmont team in what was probably the roughest game for the squad this season. This was a conference game and gave the Panthers a 1-1 conference record.

On the. foul line the team showed superb form by dumping in 23 out of 26 attempted free throws for 88 per cent. Herbie Slayden, 6-1 forward, led the scoring with 20 points, his highest tally of the season.

Slayden was followed by Bud- dy Grimes with 17, Wallace

Then on Saturday afternoon the Panthers ruined Erskine College's homecoming in L. C.'s first major college conquest, leading the scoring in the victory was the Panthers' no. 1 scoring leader, Wallace Brown with 22 points, the highest points total of the season for a single game. Wallace amassed 36 points on the weekend trip.

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 Assoc- iation of Intercollegiate Athle- tics, 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. ■

at half-time as the Rebels from the South proved much tougher than expected. The lead see- sawed back and forth during the second half as the regulation contest ended in a 59-59 knot.

The Panthers out scored the Rebels 9-7 in the overtime with Brown dumping in four points including the two winning mark- ers with only seconds remain- ing. The ball hawking Brown has been picked on the Atlanta Journal pre-season all-GIAC and all-state small college teams.

With only 18 seconds left

Valdosta went to the free throw line to shoot what could have been the winning marker. The shot went astray and the alert Brown came down with the re- bound. A bit of nifty ball hand- ling and fancy faking by Herbie Slayden resulted in the winning two points for the Panthers. Slayden faked a shot and passed off to Brown who tallied the final two points.

Others getting into the Pan- ther scoring column were: Copeland 11, Slayden 10, Grimes 9, Harp 6, Boswell 6, and Carden 4. ,

Buck Ethridge led Valdosta with 23 points. Brothers Wayne and Jerry Studdard produced 15 and 12 points, respectively.

DECEMBER 1958 THE HILL-TOP NEWS — LAGRANGK COLLEGE PAGE 7

Cage Changes Noted Since First Team

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 back- ing or enthusiasm from the city the eight-member squad was destined to be a failure. The team had no more than 12 sup- porters 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. (Geor- gia Intercollegiate Athletic Con- ference). In a pre-season pre- diction 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 possibil- ities for the remainder of the year.

Post-Holiday Schedule Could Be Real Trouble

Pi Delts Race To Frat Loop Lead With Three Wins

Pi Delta Kappa has streaked to a 3-0 winning record in the first four inter-fraternity basketball games of the season.

Mose Walburn netted 20 points for Pi Delta in a 76-36 victory over Sigma Nu. On the Sigma Nu squad, Garry Todd dumped in 20.

In the second inter-fraternity game Sigma Nu downed Gamma Phi by a high-score of 64-35. Sigma Nu"s Jimmy Johnson looped in 34 points in this contest.

As Pi Delt once again met on the hard floor, they came up with a 92-28 victory over their opponents, Gamma Phi. Mose Walburn proved once again* high-scorer for Pi Delt.

In the fourth game played by the fraternities, Sigma Nu con- tested in a revenge game against Pi Delt. But the Pi Delt Charges went on to complete their winning streak by a score of 58-39.

CAGE ACTION—Mickey Reams hands off to guard Buddy Grimes, who drives for a 2-pointer in recent hardwood action.

Panthers Use First Break And Combination Defense

The L. C. Panthers, in rolling up an impressive won-Ioss chart before the Christmas holidays, have displayed a potent fast break and an excellent defense.

that This is the first year Coach Hiram Reeves has really had the horses to employ the fast break or the speed game.

Because they give away valuable altitude to most of the opponents, the Panthers have been forced to run, run, run in an attempt to tire the bigger and slower opponents.

Against the one team which was most comparable in size, the Panthers lost to Oglethorpe, a team which also likes to turn on the gas jets.

LaGrange is blessed with the best speed over-all in history. Therefore, the fast break was a natural outcome, based on the talent available.

On defense, the local Panthers use a sinking man-to-man set up. That is, the team plays the opponents man for man, with the defensive man sinking back and to the middle unless his "man" is in possession of the ball.

Walburn Leads Sinners To 41-38 Win Over Saints

When the Sinners met the Saints in Callaway Auditorium on Monday night, December 8th, they were out for revenge for last year's one-point decision by the ministerial students. The Sinners got it—41-38.

Top scorer for the Sinners was Mose Walburn, netting 12 of the 41 points. Following Mose was Ernest Blackwell, dumping in 8.

The first half of the contest was a dog-eat-dog procedure until in the second half the Sin- ners broke into the lead and won by a 3 point decision.

There will be little Christmas vacation for the LaGrange Col- lege cagers—not with the trou- blesome, but important five- game schedule which will face them in the two weeks immediately after the holidays.

Staring the Panthers in the face when classes resume will be Troy State, Shorter, Ogle- thorpe, North Georgia, and Emory University School of Theology.

Troy State will be in town on Tuesday, Jan. 6, with a squad of 15 hustling, experienced players. The Red Wave from South Alabama has appeared in the National Association of Inter- collegiate Athletics Tournament in Kansas City, Mo., for the last five consecutive years. Troy beat the Panthers in both meetings last year.

The LaGrange quintet will face Shorter at Rome in a Geor- gia Intercollegiate Conference tussle on Thurs., Jan. 9. The all-freshman Gold Wave has already won loop contests against Berry College, Valdosta State, and Piedmont and only lost in double overtime to Ogle- thorpe.

When the Oglethorpe Petrels come to Callaway Auditorium on Saturday, Jan. 10, the Pan- thers will have to be ready if they want a part of this year's conference title. The Petrels are undefeated in conference play and have been highly fav- ored by Atlanta papers to walk away with the crown. The Pan- thers' anly loss so far this season was to Oglethorpe, 59-50, in Atlanta.

The Emory University "Circuit j Riders" are scheduled to appear here on January 13, with what looks like a very impressive team. The preachers from Emory have several players that played on Southeastern Conference teams and are re- ported to have two former Ail-Americans on their squad.

On Saturday, Jan. 17, the Panthers travel to Dahlonega to meet the North Georgia Cadets.

Harp Cited As Valuable Panther

Olin Harp, the captain of the Panthers, has made an outstanding place for himself during his four years at LaGrange College.

Olin was a charter member of the basketball team four years ago, and because of the record he made that year and those following, he is the only four- year letterman LaGrange has produced thus far. "Jack", as he many times is called, is a 6'3" center and sports number 24 on his jersey. He weighs 190 pounds and hails from Cusseta, Georgia.

This year, in addition to practice teaching in his major sub- ject which is science, he is also student director of athletics. He nas held the office of secretary- treasurer of the Circle-K Club and is a past vice-president of the Pi Delta Kappa fraternity.

A high honor was bestowed on Olin in January of 1957. The Panthers were invited to play in the Callaway Invitational Tournament. At that occasion Olin was chosen over approximately one hundred twenty boys to receive the Best Sportsman- ship Trophy.

Olin was valadictorian of his graduating class at Cusseta High School. He played varsity basketball there, was captain of the team, and was chosen all- region.

One other point of interest is that Olin married Lynn Waller during the summer of 1958.

a sliding, three-two zone defense. On this particular pattern, each individual guards a spe-

Upon occasion, LaGrange uses cific area rather than one man.

According to statistics the Cadets should provide more opposition on their home court than in their initial appearance in LaGrange.

Having been on the road ' ■■■ all but one game before Chi mas, the Panthers have a chance to display their prowess before the home audience in three of these five games.

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 practic- ing the songs that would be a recognized climax to the Christ- mas activities on the "Hill." Ike, who is here no more, was the leader of these heart-felt choruses, and his inspired lead- ership and his unique personal- ity 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 poem, but perhaps "The Village Blacksmith" would be his choice. Then there were the Negro children Dr. Epps remembers that gave a new sound to the old, familiar "Night Before Christmas."

Now, Dr. Epps commented, changes have taken place- changes that have come partly due to the increased enrollment and partly due to the rapid pace at which we live. Unfortunately a lot of the simplicity of Christ- mas has been over-shadowed by many complex activities, and

CHRISTMAS MEMORIES — Yule seasons on "The Hill."

Dr. Epps remembers former

they seem to leave little time to really sit back and enjoy the wonderful air of the holiday season.

Still there is the traditional night when gifts are given to the loyal Negro workers who keep the campus moving in harmony and order. Yet there are other things; things which make the campus revolve in a series of anti-climaxes to the Christmas holiday.

After the program in the dining hall is over a tour of the

town is made, with caroling and friendly calls. Then there is the impressive service in the little chapel that reminds one of the real meaning of Christmas. And in the dorms are Christmas trees, presents being exchanged between friends and roommates.

Dr. Epps says that this is not wrong; but with the change there must be both gain and loss. One wonders if gain has not brought about too much loss. One wonders if Christmas was not meant to be simple, as it was some years ago when Dr. Epps remembers the uncompli- cated and peaceful days of Christmas.

Dean Bailey To Play Santa Claus

The T.V. room of Smith Hall will be the scene of the ad- ministrative Christmas party Wednesday afternoon, Decem- ber 17, at 4:00.

The members of the offices and their student assistants draw names each year, and furnish an occasion for unusual fun by giving each other small gifts. Refreshments will be Rus- sia tea and fruit cake.

Dean E. A. Bailey will portray Santa Claus and will perform the pleasurable task of giving out the gifts. A small Christmas tree will be the centerpiece for the occasion.
