Freshmen Class Wins Annual Stunt Night With'LaGrange'

Three Dr. Shackelfords, a few Miss Dillys, two Mr. Blanks, and rarely enough—Tom Dooley were on hand on Feb. 12 in for the an- nual presentation of Stunt Night, sponsored by the Women's Ath- letics Association.

Each class competed for the gold cup, which this year will be the treasure of the freshman class who carried it off by their presen- tation of "LaGrange," a rewrite of the popular "Oklahoma" musi- cal. A day at L. C. was reinacted in three scenes—morning, noon, and afternoon. Early a.m. saw the Hawkes' freshman girls and Turner frosh boys lazily arising to the tune of "Oh, What a Beau- tiful Morning!" with rewritten words to fit the L. C. mood. Clare Walker and Max Griffies were featured as soloists.

Noon found the freshman in the cafeteria line for lunch. "The Surrey with the Fringe on the Top" was sung by all and re- worded to fit the lunch-time at- mosphere.

Afternoon showed the whole cast sincerely singing "Oklahoma," but with words which describe LaGrange. The freshman skit cap- tured the hearts of the judges for first place.

The senior class by taking sec- ond place lost in its attempt to win Stunt Night for three con- secutive years. However, the sen- iors may still brag on their two firsts and one second place. The seniors, in their dignity, brought to the hill as addition to every- ones's education "The Abridged Life of Tom Dooley." Preceding the historical skit, John Horton, in keeping with Abe Lincoln's birthday, orated the seniors' special version of THE GETTYS- BURG ADDRESS. Terry kay, as narrator, and The Queenston Trio Plus Two, with its choruses, car- ried the audience through six scenes —the log-cabin birth of Tom, his chopping down the cherry tree, Tom's school days under "Dr. Shackelford," the fateful murder of the sweetheart, the hero's trial, and the high- lights of the evening — Tom Dooley's hanging.

The junior class, maybe out

of respect for the seniors, gave a valentine party with special guests — the seniors! All at once many senior boys and girls real- ized why certain favorite articles of clothing were missing from flieir closets; there they were re- appearing on stage on what look- ed like exact doubles of many of our beloved seniors. The jun- iors were very skillful in their sa- tire of the actions and appear- ances of their upper classmen.

In contending for the gold cup, the second-year LC'ers reinacted "The Faculty Tea", where many faculty members found them- selves in duplicate on the stage. The weekly Tuesday morning tea at 10:00 for faculty and admin- istration gave the sophomores their unique idea. Almost all were present in the skit, and the con- versation and actions brought laughter from both students and faculty.

Seba Anne Perkins Doubles At School And Intertype; Sophomore Works With Printer

SEBA PERKINS AT WORK —Miss Seba Perkins, LC sophomore is shown at the Intertype machine where she is setting the type for the Hill-Top News. Seba works for Ralph McDaniel who prints the paper in addition to his duties with The LaGrange Daily News.

Seba Perkins, a sophmore at L. C, is interested in the Hill-Top News in more ways than one.

Almost two years ago Seba be- gan working as a general office girl for Mr. Ralph McDaniel, printer, of LaGrange. Seba had garduated from high school, and she needed a job.

During her senior year at Troup High, Seba had worked on the school page which comes out weekly in The LaGrange Daily News. This work had gotten her somewhat interested in journal- ism and printing. Her employ- ment with Ralph McDaniel, printer, however, was primarily due to the fact that Seba needed a job—and McDaniel needed an employee.

In two years Seba has learned much. Today she not only ans- wers the telephone, but she can operate many of the machines in the print shop. At present she is developing skill in operating the intricate intertype machine. This machine has ninety keys on a keyboard which is something like a typewriter. From this machine is made the type which is used to print the newspaper. This type is set up in a form, each page at a time. Then it is run off on an automatic printing machine. It is amazing how it starts off looking like a conglomeration of little metal letters, and it comes out the Hill-Top News.

Thanks to the McDaniels, Seba is now a sophomore at LaGrange College. Mr. McDaniel found out that Seba was a hard worker and also a very good one. She was interested in college, so McDaniel arranged for her to work hours in arround her class schedule. Also to make it more convenient for Seba, as she lived out of town, these good folks decided to give her a room in their own home. Now it seems that Seba is pretty much a part of the family. She can be seen almost anytime driv- ing the McDaniel's car, and it seems that she keeps "Mac" hop- ping down at the print shop.

Seba is majoring in the field of business administration, but as for the future —she isn't quite sure.

SCA Makes New PlansForMeetings

The Social Service Committee is making plans to collect maga-

'zines to send to the state hospital jat Millegeville. Everyone is urged [to save old magazines for this worthy project.

Seniors To Vote In Election In a recent move the Student Government Association

Council decided to allow seniors to vote in the upcoming S.G.A. election. Heretofore the seniors were not barred from voting by any constutional clause, but custom prevented the soon-to-be graduated class from casting ballots for next year's officers.

The fallacy of this tradition can be readily seen by look- ing at the date set for the election of the new Student Body officers. The officers assume their responsibilities in the latter part of March; the seniors will graduate in June. For two and a half to three months they will be governed by the new council. It is unfair, then, to bar the seniors from casting their votes to choose people who will represent them.

It is also true that the seniors, as the "oldest" class on the Hill are better acquainted with the qualifications for the different offices and are quite able to decide objectively who could fill them.

The S.G.A. Council is to be commended for their vision and foresight in this matter.

A Plea For Day Students BY JOHN HORTON

Letters to The Editor

The article concerning the Stu- dent Government Association meeting in the Feb. 12 issue is one to be praised, for at last the students are becoming aware of what goes on behind those closed doors of SGA meetings.

It seems that we as students "on the hill", having elected these students to represent the student body by their outstanding leader- ship qualities, have every right to know the agenda discussed and the decisions arrived at these weekly meetings. Cetainly every concen to them is just as much a concern to each student. Is there some reason for the attitude of secrecy that seems to prevail?

Name Withheld

Dear Editor: In a recent Student Christian

Association meeting the sugges- tion came that the name of the orginazation should be changed to the "Campus Y". The feeling seemed to prevail on the part of some that if it continued to be called "Christian" it would nar- row the scope of the organization. The feeling was also that no one knew that the S. C. A. was any- thing more than Vespers.

Any and every student on cam- pus who is able to listen or read and is interested knows that the S. C. A. is more than just Vespers. They know it is also Darji, the WUS Auction, and other activities which come under S. C. A. com- mittees. Simply by changing the name to the "Campus Y" will not create mass interest. It is a Chris- tian organization based on Chris- tian qrinciples and formed on a Christian campus. Why should it not continue to be called Christian instead of the "Y" giving it the air of just another social club?

felt left out. You could tell some- how that he was hurt, though you couldn't put your finger on it. He was a town student who got left out of some activity be- cause he didn't eat lunch in the dining hall and therefore didn't hear the announcement.

Now, as I too live off the Hill, I am able to understand and sympathize with the non-resident members of our community. Most of these students come on campus for classes and then return home if they have a free hour or two and don't live too far away. I'm glad the administration will pro- vide an adequate bulletin board in the new classroom building. But it is not the announcement system that is at fault in the main. I would like to provoke the student organizations to sim- ply be more conscious of these non-residers.

Approximately one-third of the fulltime students at LC are day students. Should not this third of the student body receive a little more consideration for activities, elections, and meetings? Campus organizations shouldn't be satis- fied with only two thirds partici- pation in class and club projects.

Lastly consider that most town students have jobs, chores, and other obligations which the resi- dent collegiates do not share. Evening and spontaneous meet- ings and activities work an un- justified hardship that could be avoided with a little extra plan- ning.

WAAGivesSeniors Voting Privilege

Following on the heels of the ecent Student Government de- ision allowing seniors to vote, the

Women's Athletic Association has .lso lifted the bars and urge sen-

iors to cast their ballots in the ipeoming election.

Betty Jo Croom, president of the W. A. A., announced the group's decision after a cabinet .neeting at which time this mat ler was discussed. The W. A. A. election will take place sometime after the S.G.A. elections.

Confetti... BY RAY BARFIELD

One feature of the trip home from the Columbus Country Club after the Choralaires sang there recently, was, Wayne Fears being tickled in the ribs from about six sides, trying to control his bounteous laughter by yelling, "It's all in the mind! It's all m the mind!"

A widely liked and admired teacher was overheard after a re- cent chapel program thusly: "It's days like this that make my conscience hurt me for voting for chapel absence punishments."

On the faculty retreat last fall. Dr. Kovar was telling a group that "We must raise the (academ- ic) standards and inspire the students to greater heights." Dr. Cubine was of opinion that the teacher should appeal to the students on another plane; the teacher should know what the lat- est hit tunes and campus fashions are, what is going on in the little store and the current idols. "Yes," said Dr. Epps, "and if we don't, they think we ain't nothin' but a noun' dog!"

Dr. Shakelford, in commenting on some students seeming fear of studying too hard, says his father once told him that the only time he might hurt himself when he sat down to study was if by chance he landed on a tack.

Dr. Epps came in late to Amer- ican Literature apparently another victim of the confusing class schedules, and Honey Allen asked if she was trying to show that she didn't love the class any more. "Oh," Dr. Epps replied, "I still love you, but I was going to love you in the next hour!"

Jane Nixon was surprised to learn on reading last issue's "Confetti" that she is a "neight." Actually, she is my NEIGHBOR, not my NEIGHT, which would be a female NTX, and NIXON is a good kid, far from being NIX (which is about the same as being NIL, which she is also not.) (So? ? ? ? ?—NOT!) To make a sim- pler explanation, the "neight" of last issue is what is known as a typographical error. Confused 'nuf?

Our infamous chapel post, by the way, continues to taunt us. Jane and I have decided to try a cold-war policy of peaceful co- existence for a while. After all, imagine an axe in action would

be a distraction to even the most seasoned chapel speaker.

IF. Dulles Has Cancer BY JOE

The announcement last week that Secretary of State John Fost- er Dulles once again has cancer shocked and grieved the world.

Mr. Dulles, the keystone of American foreign policy since 1952, is known and respected around the world. His junkets over the globe undoubtedly have kept the cold war from errupting into a hot one during the past six years.

A tribute to the Secretary's ability is the fact that U. S. for- eign policy, including preparation for talks on Berlin, is continuing on the sound basis of his planning.

President Eisenhower has de- scribed the much traveled diplo- mat as the most able man con- nected with international affairs today. The President has wished Mr. Dulles a speedy recovery and expressed the hope that the Sec- retary would continue in his Cabinet post as long as he, Dulles, felt able to handle the job.

To the President's wishes may be added those of millions of persons at home and abroad. Mr.

HAYNIE Dulles will be sorely missed if he is not able to return to his work.

In other news on the internat- ional front, President Eisenhower journeyed to Acapulco, Mexico for informal talks with Mexican Pres- ident Mataeos last week. Although the talks were planned before cancer struck John Foster Dulles down, they may be indicative that the President plans to take a more active part in international affairs.

At long last it seems that the explosive Cyprus situation will be ironed out. Both Greek and Turk- ish leaders are now conferring in England over a plan that should bring peace to the island torn by strife since World War Two.

Turning to events at home, the Georgia legislature adjourned last Friday with a bevy of bills tied up in committees. The one bright spot in the past session of the legislature was the manner in which the solons cooperated with Governor Ernest Vandiver in his plans for government reform in Georgia.

Eighty-Five On Dean's List Entirely Too Many ? ? ?

QUESTION: Do you think that eighty-five people on the Dean's List is too many?

Mildred Wood: Well, frankly it

seems that eighty-five people are too many. It doesn't speak well of the school to have that many people making it.

Joe Haynie: I definitely think that 25% of the student body mak- ing the Dean's List is too many.

Jackie Dennis: I think eighty- five is too many. Looks like some of the honor is lost with so many people making it.

Elaine Green: No, I don't think so. Until the teachers get a stand- ard grading system I don't see how they could raise the grade point average necessary to make the List.

Mary Lillian Cagle: No, I don't believe that eighty-five is too many. If you make the grades that you have to have to make it, I think you should, regardless of the number.

Donna Hiers: Yes, I definitely think that eighty-five people on the Dean's List is too many. In proportion to the student body it looks as though just about every- body made it!

Marlin Gentry: No, if the per- son makes the grades he has to have, I think he should make the Dean's List.

Mary Faye Horton: Yes, I think that, for this school, eighty- five people is entirely too many. This situation could be cleared up if they made the average nec- essary to make it higher.

Marian Chapman: Since La- Grange is a small school, I think that it desn't speak well of the academic standards if eighty-five people make the List.

Mary Joyce Langford: Frankly, I don't know. I can see where some people would feel that it is too many, yet some who have made the average would feel that they should make it. I just don't

Requirements For SGA Officers High

Nominations for the upcoming Student Government Association elections was slated for Thurs- day, February 27. The nominat- ing committee of the S.G.A. will meet Thursday and post the re- sults on the following day. The election is scheduled for March 3.

This year, for the first time, nominees will be required to have a certain grade point average in order to be eligible for nomina- tion. Candidates for all major of- fices must have an average of 1.5 for the preceding semester and not less than 1.1 over all college work.

Nominees for the major S.G.A. offices are tabled by the nominat- ing committee composed of all senior members of the S.G.A. Council, an elected representative from each class, and the Faculty Advisory Committee. Nominations are always top secret until they are posted by the committee.

Traditionally, candidates do not actively campaign for nomination nor do they actively seek the office once nominated. The nomi- nating committee does" ask con- sent of the nominees before post- ing nominations.

In the past it has been consid- ered taboo for a candidate to openly express the desire to be elected to an office. Voters can only guess as to which candidate really wants the office and which merely consented to run because they were nominated.

Seniors are voting in the S.G.A. election this year. In addition, all full time students, whether they are boarding students or day students, are eligible to vote in the election. In a recent meet-

Ga. Tech Glee Club Scores Hit With Varied Program

"It's a Grand Night for Sing- ing", the opening selection of the Georgia Tech Glee Club Saturday night, established the spirit of the spirit of the concert. The Glee Club presented a varied program of music in a very professional manner. An outstanding aspect of the performance was the enjoy- ment of singing each member of the all-male chorus expressed through his participation in the evenings' program. The chorus of about thirty-two voices sang with a precision and blend becoming the fine chorus that they are.

On concert with the Glee Club was Nancy Collier, who sang three folk songs while accompanying herself on the autoharp. Her selec- tions were enhanced by her com- ments on the histories of the folk songs. Nancy is a real trooper, having been on seven tours with the Georgia Tech Glee Club. On her travels Nancy has covered two-thirds of the area of the earth. Her charming personality immediately won the attention of the audience.

Bill Sears, a marimba player from Plainfield, New Jersey, play- ed several selections, one of which was the current favoite "Tom Dooley". Bill has been playing the marimba for fifteen years. This part of the program was particularly appealing since the marimba isn't heard often.

Most of the selections of the Glee Club were old favorites and ing, the S.G.A. Council urged all voters to participate in the elec- tion.

well known to the Saturday night audience. The selections from the musical "South Pacific" were particularly appealing.

Wally Brown Hits For New Record, But Team Loses

Led by forward Wallace Brown who set a new individual game scoring record with 33 points, the Panthers threw a sharpshooting offensive attack at the Troy State Red Wave last Wednesday in Troy, Ala., but it was for nought as the Hillmen fell, 84-74.

It was the seventh loss of the season for the Panthers.

The LC quintet hit 64 per cent of its field goal attempts for one of the most accurate nights of the hardwood season, but it was not enough to overcome the Ala- bamians who earlier defeated the Panthers, 72-71, in LaGrange.

The Red Wave had five men in double figures in the scoring column, compared to LaGrange with only two—Wayne "Foots" Copeland with 18 and Jerry "Sam" Carden with 11.

Brown's 33 markers broke the previous individual record he had set only three nights before when he hit 30 points against North Georgia. Brown also had a per- fect night at the free-throw line, hitting 7-for-7. Copeland had 16 rebounds.

Panthers Win Four GIAC Tilts LCSTTI,S

The Panthers won their last four Georgia Intercollegiate Conference games to rack up their best record- 17 wins and 7 losses—in LaGrange College history.

The Panthers, fresh from a 120-32 shellacking of the West Georgians, went to Carrollton and rendered the Braves a 88- 57 setback for their ninth con- ference win.

LaGrange demonstrated its ac- curacy from the field by sinking 53% of their shots. There wa~ never any doubt from the start as to who would come out on top, though the West Georgians were determined not to be hu- miliated. Scoring honors indicate the balance of the LC attack as three men went over the twenty mark. Wallace Brown led the way in amazing 30 counters. Teammates Wayne Copeland and Jerry Carden chipped in 21 points each for a three man total of 71!

points. Much of the outcome can be blamed on the rebounding of the Panthers who cleared off 62 missed shots. The win strength- ened the LCers' hold on second place in the G.I.A.C. and pushed the overall record to 14 wins against 6 losses.

sion attendance records show that less than one-fifth of the student body attended any one of the 12 home tilts.

What causes may be behind this miserable lack of suuport by the LaGrange College students? Is it the fact that almost half of the home games have been played on week-nights? Could it be the lack of transportation to and from the playing site? Or is it just plain lack of spirit on the part of the student?

Whatever may be the case, some of the "excuses" that have been used in the past will not be provided this week as the Pan- thers move into their new gym on "the hill" to play host to the first annual G.I.A.C. tournament. The semi-finals and finals will be played on Friday and Saturday nights.

The District 25 N. A. LA. (Na- tional Association of Intercolleg- iate Athletics) Service Bureau has recently posted season's percent- ages for the Georgia—Florida District.

The L.C. "Panthers" earned the position of top offensive team in District 25 with an average of 79.2 points per game. L.C. is also number 1 in rebounds with a 53.8 average. Behind Oglethrope and Piedmont, LaGrange ranks third as a defensive ball club in this dictrict.

As far as the individual honors go, Wayne Copeland is "Rebound- er Leader" with a 14.6 average. Wallace Brown and Copeland both placed among the individual scor- ing leaders. Brown placed 6th with an 19.20 average and Cope- land is 10th with a 15.73 average. Brown is also third among Field Goal leaders.

The North Georgia Cadets' ral- ly fell a little short of the mark as Panther substitute held off a determined Dahlonega team to the tune of 87-81 February 14.

The LC cagers got off to a quick start, were challenged, but then mustered enough steam to possess a 42-30 lead as they went to the dressing rooms at inter- mission. The lead was made more comfortable in the opening min- utes of the second half and al- lowed the Panther bench to be utilized to give the regulars a much deserved rest.

The Cadets' Hollay kept the fire burning for the North Geor- gians getting 17 of his 26 points in the last half. Wallace Brown pushed his two-night total to 57 by scoring 27 points against the military men. Jerry Carden scored 21 points for the second night in a row. The visitors compiled 25

of their 81 points via the charity line.

An inspired LaGrange team started running with the opening bell and didn't slow down until it had finished off a much improv- ed Berry College team 85-57 at the LaGrange High School gymnasi- um February 18.

The Panthers took this oppor- tunity to prove the balance and depth of the team's power. Se- ven players headed by Wayne Copeland scored in double figures. Copeland counted 16 points. Bud- dy Grimes, Olin Harp, and Larry Boswell each threw in 12 while Wallace Brown, Jerry Carden, and Mickey Reams added 10 marks to their season record. The only visitor to score in double num- eral was Randall Kent with 18, the whole of which came during the first twenty minutes of play.

A 49-29 half-time lead insured the bench of action and they prov- ed equal to the occasion in outscor- ing their opponents 38-28. The win was the eleventh conference victory, opposed to two lone set- backs to Oglethorpe University, and the sixteenth for the season to surpass all previous Panther teams in games won.

In a nip-and-tuck clash Friday night at the LaGrange High gym, the LC Panthers squeezed by the Shorter Gold Wave 56-53, in the final regular season game.

Shorter took the lead in the opening minutes of the contest and held it throughout most of the first half, but the Panthers were on top when the halftime horn sounded 25-22.

During the second half the lead switched from one team to the other with points made from the free throw line playing a big fac- tor in the final score.

THE

Sports Bug... By PAUL BUGG

As the basketball season nears its end the 1958-59 LaGrange College Panthers loom in front of the cage world as one of the top teams in small college com petition. Ranked nationally as No. 11 in field goal percentage and currently leading the N.A.I.A. District 25 (Georgia-Florida) in team rebounding and total team offense, Coach Hiram Reeves' "hot shots" finished second in the newly formed Georgia Inter- collegiate Athletic Conference. They also compiled the best rec- ord in LaGrange College basket- ball history with a 17-7 won-lost showing.

Despite all this, however, there is one department, perhaps the most important one, in which La- Grange has failed to make a showing, namely, the support of the student body. Spirit seems to be a lagging factor on the LC campus these days. Admis-

With a few breaks, the Shorter Gold Wave could have bettered their 6-8 conference record. The all freshman team from Rome recently dropped three point de- cisions to LaGrange, Valdosta, and Berry and earlier played Oglethorpe to a double overtime loss.

The Valdosta State College Reb- els tangle with the Berry College Blue Jackets in the seven o'clock game Thursday night. Valdosta and Berry, number three and number six in the conference re- spectively, finished regular sea- son play tied for their league positions.

A pair of brothers, Jerry and Wayne Studdard, provided the one-two punch for the Rebels as they rolled up an 8-6 conference record. Piedmont had an identi- cal 8-6 record. A drawing gave

1 Valdosta State third place and Piedmont fourth place.

Jerry Studdard led the confer- ence in scoring with an average of 22 points per game. Brother Wayne also contributed an aver- age of 14 points per game to the Valdosta cause.

The Blue Jackets from Berry finished in a dead heat with the North Georgia College Cadets for sixth place in the conference. The drawing assigned sixth place to Berry and seventh place to the Cadets.

i North Georgia will be the op- ponents of the LaGrange College Panthers in the nine o'clock game Thursday. The Panthers finished second in the conference with a 12-2 mark and were 17-7 over all.

In rolling up the best won-lost 'record of any LaGrange College team, the Panthers were led in [scoring by guard Wallace Brown who averaged 19 points per game.

i Brown finished sixth in the Geor- gia-Florida N.A.I.A. scoring race.

, Spencer Boyd of North Georgia finished in seventh place just be- Ihind Brown with an average of 118 points per game.

The Panthers' Wayne Copeland led the district N.A.I.A. rebound- ers with an average of 14.6 re- bounds per game. Copeland bare- ly edged out Valdosta State's Buck Etheridge who rebounded at a rate* of 14.5 per game. Wayne was also tenth in scoring with an average of 16 points in each contest.

Religious Groups Plan Meetings

The various denominational groups on campus have made plans for their meetings for the next two weeks. These organiza- tions are the Methodist Student Fellowship, Baptist Student Un- ion, and the Westminister Fel- lowship.

The MSF will have its regular meetings on February 24, and March 10. These meetings will be at 6:30 in the Little Chapel. On Feb. 24, Miss Billie Patton, Direc- tor of Religious Education of the LaGrange First Methodist Church, be the speaker. She will speak on "Art and Religion." March 10 will mark the beginning of a series of programs on the major religions.

All Baptist students, especial- ly freshmen, are urged to attend the meeting of the BSU on March 10, at 6:30 in the Formal Parlor. Special plans for this meeting in- clude the showing of a film. A committee to nominate new of- ficers will be appointed at this meeting.

The Westminister Fellowship will meet on Feb. 24, at 6:30 in the Formal Parlor. Beginning with this meeting there will be a series of programs on "The Lives of Great Christians." Mary Dorcas James and Judy Love will give a report of the State Westminister Conference they at- tended at Rock Eagle.
