SPEAKS AT THE COLLEGE Easter brought with it morel

than bunny rabbits*'egg hunts, new silk frocks, and bonnets to the LaGrange College this year as well as to a great number of the LaGrange people. This year Easter was quite fittingly observed by a pageant of great hope, The Questioner, which was presented by the department of education of the college under the direction of Miss Frances Creighton, of Green- wood, S. C. The pageant was given in the First Methodist church, Sunday evening, April 8.

Preceding the pageant a prayer was offered by Rev. J. E. Ellis. Following the prayer, Misses Neenah Woods and Hallie Smith rendered a vocal duet, "Out of the Ivory Palaces."

What meaneth that to me?' Wis- dom. Nature, History, Reason, Religion, Experience, Sorrow, Faith, Love, Joy, and Death him- self, are sent to answer his ques- tions.

Eloise White Student Government President

Impressive Inauguration Service

Miss Eloise White, of Chipley, I Georgia, has been elected as1

president o fthe Student Govern- ment of LaGrange. Miss Cath-. erine Chesnutt, of Tifton, Geor-I gia, Julia Alice Johnson, of Ab- beville, Georgia, and Christine Connors, of Nichols, Georgia, are the vice-presidents; Miss May Beall Yancey, of Carrollton, Georgia, is secretary; and Miss Martha Jane Estes, of Senoia, Georgia, is treasurer.

These officers took the oath ot office in Hardwick Hall. Miss Mary Frances Wiggins and the old Student Council together with the new officers had ar- ranged a very impressive cere- mony for the inauguration of officers.

At this time President W. E. Thompson was asked to deliver a talk on Student Government from the viewpoint of the faculty.

The retiring talk of Miss Wig- gins recalled the wonderful and deserving service she had rendered as President for 1927-28. Miss White urged the students to co-operate with her and the council in the task they had given them to do.

Dr. Smart gave an extremely interesting and inspirational talk at the Y. W. C. A. Vesper service April 15. He spoke of the wonderful capacities on potential- ities that the human being pos- sesses and can make use of, his life all the time becoming fuller and richer. "A boy has never seen a sun set, he has seen the sun go down." But some day a realization of the beautiful scene no artist can paint will come to him and life will have a deeper meaning for him for he has seen God in it."

Tli ere are certain pleasant things that come with spring which every LaGrange girl looks forward to—and the very pleas- antest is Dr. Smart's little visit. We feel that we at least have a part interest in him and we are always very happy to welcome him to L. C.

Philomathean Club

Blue Ridge For Vacation

The Philomathean club met in the college parlors April 10. The following program was rendered:

Reading—Pictures of Memory Lane—Sara Matthews.

Bible contest. Miss Hallie Smith showed us

a number of celebrated religious pictures and discussed them in a Biosl interesting way. Misses Sara Leonard and Sara Mat- thews were hostesses and served delicious refreshments.

Senior Art Student Tea

-Miss Black, conducting her pupils through an art museum stopped in front of Rodin's fa- mous statue, "The Thinker." She asked them what they thought he was thinking of.

"Oh, I know," replied Dorothy, "he's been swimming and can't remember where he put his clothes."

Blue Ridge! What unrivaled thrills these two words bring. Golden memories and high hopes! A hope? More—a purpose, to view the grandeur of the scenery and experience the jo. and thrill of unequalled fellowship—again, or for the first time.

Only for the lucky few? Why not for the privileged numbers! What more ideal vacation trip could one desire. Mountains and lakes, spelling hikes, especially to watch sunrise from old High Top, and swims in sparkling, inviting water. Games, too. Pleas- ure, fun, happiness in abundant store.

A situation of such beauty, it is, as to make one a bigger, more worthwhile being in experienc- ing its soul-stirring qualities. Then fellowship such as to mean growth; development.

Can one find a better vacation ideal—one to give unequaled! physical recreation and enjoy-j ment of the highest type, mental j stimulas, and soul culture ? Sure- j ly Blue Ridge is unsurpassed!

Then why not.set such a va-j cation goal for yourself? Even if combining the expense of several little vacation trips into one, —and that one for Blue Ridge,— how well worthwhile!

Have you not observed the| "Blue Ridge girls'" spirit and attitude? Mention the beloved two words and observe the ef-i feet. Then will you involuntar- ily yearn for that something: which they have in the posses-i sion of the "Blue Ridge Spirit!"; Why not have it for yours?—Itj is waiting for you! j

A lovely affair of Thursday afternoon, April the nineteenth, was the Studio Tea which was given by the Senior Art students of LaGrange College.

The reception rooms in the auditorium building were beautiful with fresh spring flowers, lacy fern, and soft lights. Silver vases of red roses were also ar- tistically used in the decoration.

Miss Margaret Dallis and Miss Mary Crimes were those receiving at the main entrance of the hall, and the guests were invited into the reception rooms by Mis- Eleanor Dunson and Miss Mar- garet Edmondson.

The receiving line was composed of the graduate hostesses, Miss Carolyn McLendon, Miss Ruby Simpson, Miss Kate Wis- dom and Isabel Robinson.

Mrs. Heidenrich very grace- fully presided over the tea table which was beautifully banked with pink roses. She was assisted by Misses Billie Turner and Alice Mallory.

Assisting in entertaining were Misses Carolyn Lehm&nn, Kath- erine Wilkes, Elsie Kersey, Camille Hagedom and Fannie Lou Smith.

Those who assisted in serving refreshments were Misses Mary Radford, Lucille Cassels, Eliza- beth Norman, Rabbie Hadley, Ruby Hughes, Lura Williamson, Dorothy Neal, and Emily Dough- man.

Little Misses Helen and Cath- erine Wilkes, attractive dancers, pleased the guests with several costume dances.

About two hundred guests called during the afternoon.

Many From LaGrange Attend Grand Opera

M. Rich and Bros. Co. Host to i Sixteen Girls.

LaGrange College has played the part of hostess to many people, but never before has she had the honor of entertaining real, authentic and genuine Royalty, as she did when Baron Alphonse Heyking visited here, April 18. Baron Heyking, of the Unversity of Doysat, Russia, and also Lec- turer on Diplomatic and Consu- lar service and International Law at the University of Geneva, ad- dressed the members of the In- ternational Relations club of La- Grange College. The subject on which he spoke was "The Rus- sian Riddle."

Mr. Hubert Quillian entertain- ed Baron Heyking Wednesday afternoon.- They visited "Calla- way Gardens" and the different mills around LaGrange. These trips through the mills proved to be very interesting to the Baron, for he said that it was the first time he had ever been in a mill or a factory. The Rotarians en- tertained Baron Heyking at a banquet and there he made a short speech.

Baron Heyking was once Rus- sian minister of foreign affairs. At present he is in charge of the racial minorities in Lithonia and Esthonia, which is under the auspices of the League of Na- tions. He is sent out by the Car- negie Endowment for Interna- tional Peace to the various clubs of the United States.

The LaGrange College club studied Russia at the last meeting and the girls were already interested in the Russian question when the speaker came to the campus. They were especially interested in his personal appearance, whether he was good looking or not, if he could speak English fluently, and per- haps they were most interested in his clothes, as one wise sophomore asked "will he wear baro- net satin?" Interest was shown by the club toward the "Russian Riddle" as it has been one of the universal discussions since the war.

LaGrange College, and especially sixteen students of the college have reason to be thanking M. Rich and Bros. Co., this year for their kindness in inviting two girls to attend each per-; formance of opera. While they' were in Atlanta they were enter- tained at the Henry Grady hotel.

The fortunate ones who at- tended the various performances are:

Alonday evening, L' Africana, Aurelia Adams and Ruth Hurst. Tuesday evening, The Barber of Seville, Martha Jane Estes and Manita Hall.

Wednesday afternoon, Haen- sel and Gretel and Pagliacci, Mary. Teasley and Carolyn Mc- Lendon.

Thursday evening, Rigoletto, Lura Lifsey and Mary Hays.

Friday afternoon, Die Walk- nere, Mary Head and Georgia Knox.

Friday evening, Norma, Lucile Cassels and Ruth Lewis.

Saturday afternoon, Carmen, 1 Eloise White and Catherine: Chesnutt.

Saturday evening, La Boheme,

Mae Ratcliffe and May Beall Yancej.

The girls enjoyed the use of the pass-word "we are members of the Rich party" which gave them free use of the Black and white Cab service and other con- veniences which M. Rich and Bros. Company had taken care to provide for them.

Mrs. Farmer has sixteen new friends on the "Hill." No one could have taken her place as hostess to a blunch of college girls.

Among the others who attend- ed Grand Opera from LaGrange are Misses Brownlee and Sails, from the faculty and Misses Frances and Sara Matthews, Lu- crete Adams, Mary Lumpkin, Syvia Adams and Mildred Stype.

Eleanor: Mrs. Simms how is Elwyn this morning? Could I see her?

Miss Simms: Why, yes come in. She's convalescing right along.

Eleanor: Well, I'll just wait until she gets through.

Co-operation! I once knew a chorus director

who seemed to have "Co-operation" as a pet word. Not only chorus directors need to stress co-operation but also editors ol' school papers.

As new Quill Drivers the Scroll staff for 1928-'29 need your co-operation. As we relieve] this year's staff after their months of steady and splendid work, we realize the great responsibility that rests upon us. The old staff is to be congratulated on their splendid manage- ment of the Scroll this year, and we hope that we can do as well during the coming year as they have done.

Quill Drivers, as you go out from old L. C, the new members • of your club wish you much success in every undertaking and we hope that, if in no other way, you will keep in touch with your Alma Mater through the Scroll.

A Voice From the \? Arm-Chair

with a worn and blunt point and help you publish the remaining issues of the Scroll for this scholastic year with the hope that we can mend a few flaws which only the experienced hand can mend—experienced in re- moving the stones which make the pathway of editorship rough and rugged. Then when you have come along the pathway as far as we have remember and lend a helping hand to those that take your places, for you, too, will be glad of the arm-chair placed for you.

French and Spanish Clubs Given Picnic

By Miss Duncan On April 16th, the French and;

Spanish clubs enjoyed a most, de-' lightful picnic given by Miss! Duncan, Prof, of Romance Lan-I guages. There were six cars, all i packed with boistrous girls,: clamoring with joy, the delight-! ful ride and the refreshments tol come. After riding for about six I miles we came to the picnic I grounds. Girls jumped out of | the cars, and soon had the camp- fires burning. We roamed the* woods and up and down the river! banks. It was then time to! spread the picnic lunch, and then came the fun. We almost ate; ourselves sick; tomato, ham and \ cheese sandwiches, pickles, let-1

tuce, ice tea, Cocoa Cola and as-, sorted crackers. Then after all that came a marshmallow toast.

The moon was then rising, and the reflection of it on the water1

was enchanting. We wished to, stay on and on, but we heard the echo of the study bell calling us! back to the hill. Play and fun! were over for a while, but the; evening of fun could never be; forgotten.

the showy, the strident, the spec-1 tacular; she had rj.ked all noise! and no music. Now she began to understand how wrong her; views liad been. Clothes are to accentuate charms, not brazenly! display them; rouge is to aid Na-! ture, not rival her; voice and Ian-1 guage should be quiet and mod- ulated, not shrill and slangy; boys are fellow companions, not males to be pursued. These are some of the new principles Mary gradually learned. But best of all she learned that outward life reflects our inner life and she set to work at once to weed out her inner self so as to leave only the best to be reflected.

Mother and Bobs were untir- ing helpers striving in every way to bring out the true, fine self of Mary. Mother was wise, pa- tient, and anxious for the best results; Bobs was a charming person who had been born en- dowed with tact and good manners. Between the two of them Mary developed into a charming

Name This Story Happily for Mary, her life had

not become too set, her habits too fixed to make a change im-: possible. When the coat of self- sufficiency and tawdriness had been washed away by the story of tears following her humilia- tion and self-abasement, to the surprise of everyone, excepting her mother, there emerged a new- Mary, a quieter, sweeter, finer Mary. Her flimsy little tinsel Heart had been tried in the cru- cible and there was left enough of pure gold to form a new heart, a strong, womanly heart.'

Of course the change in Mary was not sudden. None of the im- portant changes in our lives are ever sudden; they are rather the, result of a process of time. To .Mary had come the gradual realization that her perspective of life had been crooked, grotesque, out-of-focus. She had seen life in the wrong light, a garish life, all high spots, She had loved

These talks were so enlighten- ing that the members of the "Forum" were in a state of read- iness and their minds were in a receptive mood for the Baron's Lecture.

to the study of Mathematics. Be- lieving that this study is of the highest importance in develop- ing and strengthening the intellectual powers, and a necessary pre-requisite to the prosecution of many of the physical sciences, we devote one half of every day to Mathmetics."

The full charge for tuition in those days was given as forty- four dollars for.the year of ten months, and board is quoted at nine dollars a month. Among the private homes listed as those taking boarders is that of Ben- jamin H. Hill, Esq. Young ladies were required "at all times to be neat in person and dress, making a proper use of hair, tooth and nail brush." There was little opportunity to practice the wiles of feminine attraction, as is evidenced by the following regulation: "No pupil will be per- mitted to attend parties or places of amusement, receive or entertain, or correspond by letter or otherwise, with any one of the opposite sex, except it be near relations."

While proud of its history and traditions, LaGrange College has had, during the past few years, a period of marked development. With increased endowment, im- proved buildings and equipment, and enlarged enrollment, La- Grange meets the requirements of a standard four-year college. Its facultv is composed of teachers of culture and experience who have received their training from the best colleges and universities.

If the success of an institution is to be measured by its contri- bution to the progress and development of its time, LaGrange may justly make her claim for consideration upon the basis of the prominence and accomplish- ments of her alumnae. While most of her graduates have been elected to become partners in the making of homes, numbers of them have become missionaries, writers, scientists and business women. Not a few of them have become teachers in colleges and public schools, and the record of their achievements, their faith- fulness and their competence, is written high in the educational annals of our state and nation.

LaGrange College

As early as 1831, when there were few who believed that women were capable of a high degree of intellectual training, LaGrange Institute was founded for the higher education of women. The patronage of the institution for the first few years of its existence was confined almost entirely to the counties in the western section of the state, but it is noticeable in examining the early catalougues, that students soon began to be enrolled from Mississippi, Louisiana and as far west as Texas.

A comparison of the catalogue of 1848 with present day cata- logues discloses the fact that cal- endars, customs and courses of study have greatly changed since those early days. At that time, the announcement states, "the next scholastic term of ten months will commence the 15th of January, and close the middle of November. There will be a two weeks' vacation about the middle of the term, for the bene-1 fit of those who must pay a visit j home." It is also interesting to find in this old catalogue the following: "Special attention is paid

A lady used to riding in a gearshift car took a tour into Yosemite in a Ford. When asked how the car performed she said: "Just wonderful! Why my husband had to put his foot on the brake all the wav up the hills."

Mothers' Day Is Almost Here.

"All my life I've wanted an umbrella with a nice handle" sighed a little grey- haired woman recently, "bul somehow 1 never seemed to get around to spending money on myself."

How well this little inci- dent symbolizes the wistful yearnings after "nice things." the stifled personal vanities that the Mothers of the World tuck away in the bottommost corners of theii hearts.

MISS WHITE AND MISS CHESNUTT DELEGATES TO STUDENT GOVERN-

MENT CONFERENCE AT RANDOLPH-

MACON

Oh, we were excited for three days before and many days af- terwards. We were going to the Thirteenth Annual Conference of the Southern Inter-Collegiate Association of Student Govern- ment at Randolph-Macon Wo- man's College, Lynch burg, Vir- ginia ! Finally Mildred Stipe ran up staii's and told us the taxi was here and Mrs. Simms said, "Hur- ry." Well, we truly did hurry. We wanted to have everybody see use leave but, as surprised as we were, Mr. Bailey did not ex- cuse classes for the occasion, and Miss Hallie did not even let Ger- trude come out of Latin to wish us a "bon Voyage."

We had to leave early because we Had to stop at the bank, 'cause when you're going a long way with a heap of money, you have to buy traveler's checks or you might be robbed. We had plenty of time, though ,and after we had bought our tickets, we had just hours and hours to wait for the train. We had to ride the local to Atlanta—you know- that awful little train that stops at all the towns—even Louise. I never have understood why they didn't move the Crescent Limit- ed up for us.

It wasn't so very long until the conductor came througn and called "Atlanta' and we jumped up and started getting our baggage ready to get off. it looked very' much like rain, but everybody was at the Terminal to meet us. Since we had a short wait there in the Metropolis, we decided we might as well take in the town— so we did. Lots of folks were; there that day but we didn't seel

anybody we knew. We were more excited than;

ever when we left Atlanta because now we were on a real train, and girls from Alabama, Weslyan, Agnes Scott, Bessie Tift, and other schools were with us. We didn't sleep much in those funny little beds. I don't know why though because we heard everybody else sleeping and they seemed to be enjoying it, too. It sounded like a lumber camp. We had breakfast and lunch on the diner. Most of the other girls went in at the same time we did, and we had a regular party. I always did think it1

was fun to eat on a train. At 4:15 we reached Lynch-j

burg. That was a good sized little town, too. We didn't know exactly what to do, but we soonj found out. Everybody camel rushing up with Black and White, and Yellow automobiles crying,: "Come ride with me! Come ride with me!" We finally decided to] go with one of them, and I'll] have you know, after we'd ridden all the way up to college with him, he insulted us by asking us for $2.50!

We registered over in the Smith Memorial Budding, when we were punched, given son> sandwiches, and told dinner would !)e served at 6:20. We went up to our room and decided to rest a few minute*, 1. ^n si ml around. We awoke rbout te:. minutes before dinner, but we were used to college life, so we were dressed about six minutes before the bell rang.

Everybody was lovely to us the whole time we were there. Thursday we received invita- tions to go to a progressive sup- per at the Fraternity houses down in the "pines." That was a swell affair believe me, and I've

never seen so much food! A wonderful course at each house! Wnat a pity i was reducing!

At 3:00 o'clock Friday afternoon we were in fine cars with chaffeurs on our way to Sweet Briar College. They had invited us out there to a tea, and we were eagerly waiting to see how pretty it would be. We had always heard it was beautilul, and we were not disappointed! As far as you could see in every direction was green with grass, and with the girls horse back- riding all around, it looked like a picture. We had a lovely time at the tea. After a dance, some "double solos," and the eats, we were shown the Boxwood Gar- dens. Sweet Briar is proud of these, and well she may be!

But it wasn't all play. At this conference girls from about fifty Southern colleges attempted to survey different plans of Student Governments and to further perfect one—no little job to tackle. There were many well-known and interesting speakers at the conference. It would be impos- sible to tell all the contents of the speeches, but 1 will try to tell you the speakers and the topics which they discussed.

Thursday morning Dr. D. R. Anderson, president of Ran- dolph-Macon Womans' college gave the Welcome, followed by a business session. Our first address was "A Critical Inquiry Into the Function and Value of Student Government," by Mr. -i.'.in L. Manaham, Dean of Edu- cation, University of Virginia. In discussing this he said that everywhere in Society there are two principles—obedience and submission. Adjustment to botlf creates a popular or free government with a common interest. To have this free government, everyone must have intelligence, self control and conscience.

In the afternoon, we heard .Miss Mary L." Sherrill, Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Mass., on "The Executive Prob- lem with Regard to Student Opinion."

Friday, Mrs. W. S. Harris, the first woman judge in Virginia, brought us an interesting and helpful address on "The Respon- sibility of a Student Judiciary."

Friday night, "Election Meth- ods" was discussed by Mr. George H. Hollis, Jr., Proportion- al Reprsentation League, Phila- delphia, Penn., and "The Value of Student Government in Devel- oping the Individual for Social Responsibility," by Mrs. Marvin Rosenberry, Madison, Wisconsin.

We had a good time. We thank you for sending us. We thought of all of you and wished more times than one that you were with us on this wonderful trip.

Mrs. Albert also narrated some pleasing, interesting, and entertaining incidents of her mother, when she was a school girl of the "Hill."

Forum of Democracy Elects New Officers

The Forum of Democracy has recently elected its officers for the new year. Those officers going out of office have served both faithfully and well. With Miss Elizabeth Cheatham as president, ably assisted by the vice-presidents, Misses Violet Hampton and Rosalie Kamper, and by the secretary and treasurer. Miss Mildred Stipe, the Forum has made splendid progress. The capable corps of officers elected to succeed these consists of Miss Virginia Smith, president; Miss Margaret Par- tee, vice-president; Miss Fannie Lou Smith, secretary.

We enjoyed the unique experience of seeing lamps lighted but we enjoyed the more unique experience of eating good old-fashioned fried corn-fed chicken, pre- serves, hot biscuits, coffee with whipped cream, potato chips, salad and ice cream and all those good things you see pictures of in books and that make your mouth water to think about.

There were two long tables with Katherine Wheeler at the head of one and Miss Hallie Smith having the "seat of hon- or" and Manita Hall at the head of the other with Mrs. Abbot having the honored seat. The tables were decorated with bowls of honey suckle and candles. At each place was a favor which

contained a real banquet-cap, a souvenir and a "fortune" which "were enjoyed by all."

We all came back to town and went to the picture show, thus making an end to a perfect day.

Alumnae News We extend the deepest sym-

pathy to Amanda Glenn, class of '26 and Josephine Glenn, class of '27 in the loss of their father.

Kathryne Glanton, former student of this college, was elected Miss Troup and will represent Troup county at the Columbus Centennial on Friday the 27th.

The local chapter are making plans for a commencement luncheon. They are also electing officers for the coming year.

Quadrangle Banquet On April 17th, the old Quad-

rangle Staff of the College enter- tained the incoming staff with a banquet at Wayside Inn.

The crowd left the college hill about six o'clock in cars for Wayside Inn—mind you—cars! The Inn was decorated with Iris and honey suckles. Everything and everybody was looking their best, especially since the rooms were lighted with old-fashioned lamps and candles.

ed the College, Saturday, April 21, 1928. Her visit was especially inteersting because her mother, Mrs. Cordelia Redding (Mrs. Jones), was a graduate of La- Grange College in the class of 1850.
