MISS LIBBY CARLOCK

The Curtain Raisers will present "Teach Me How to Cry" on Friday and Saturday, April 24 and 25 at 8:15 in Dobbs Audi- torium.

The drama by Patricia Joudry stars Nancy Elizabeth Gibson in the role of Melinda Grant. Nancy, a Senior speech and drama major from Franklin, Georgia, is a transfer from Young Harris Col- lege. H4re at LaGrange she has been seen in many plays including "Picnic", "The Late Christopher Bean", and "Summer and Smoke".

"Teach Me How to Cry" is the story of a troubled teen-age girl

who escapes a life of escapism by the love of a boy who has learn- ed to face reality. The girl, Me- linda Grant, yearns for guidance and love from her mother and for personal identity. To gain this identity, she seeks a role in the school play. "Romeo and Juliet." She there meets Will Henderson, a boy who also lacks roots. They are drawn together by mutual need, and together find a sense of belonging. The love story paral- lels that of Romeo and Juliet as they struggle against the pres- sures of society and paternal op- position. Melinda and Will gain strength to endure separation and plan their future together in life.

HILL-TOP NEWS — LAGRANGE COLLEGE APRIL 22, 1959

New Absence Policy? The recent announcement by the student body

president concerning a group of representatives students going to see the absence committee about rule changes is good news.

We believe the majority of the campus is dis- satisfied with the present situation, and it is hoped that a better solution can be reached. With students and faculty working together in a cooperative manner the answer will more than likely suit both sides.

It is felt, however, that whatever is decided should take into account the fact that we are all trying to mature young people sincerely seeking an education—from books and also from added re- sponsibilities. When the responsibility for our own conduct and decisions is denied via strict, oft-times unenforced rules, we wonder if a little less "supervision" would be better with a little more of the burden on us and our teachers.

In any case we applaud the efforts of both the student council and the absence committee to find a more workable solution.

The Morning After Field Day

Letter to Editor Dear Editor,

In regard to a "Letter to the Editor" in a recent issue of the Hill-Top News, I would like to make these comments:

—When I failed to observe quiet hours, I was given a demerit.

—When I failed to sign out of closed study hall I was the recipient of another demerit.

—When I failed to keep my room tidy, and didn't make my bed, another demerit was given to me.

—On various other occasions when I was not following a rule or regulation, I was re- primanded by a student gov- ment.

I am now the possessor of four demerits, all justly given, all of which I deserved. I fail to see how the present student government is incompetent, unjust or unfair. I think the student government has done an excellent job in Turner Hall. "Praise them?" No! Thank them? Yes.

four rather remarkable people. Dr. William New- man, George Lucktenburg, Howan and Marian Thomas were on campus as a part of the annual Fine Arts Festival.

Each of these people contributed more than just their own speciality to making the entire program a sucess. They brought a friendliness and a spon- taneous warmth that graced the college and made us forget that they were mere "entertainers" and made us feel as though they were friends.

We are deeply indebted to each of these artists for their presentation of esthetic beauty. We hope that theywill visit our campus again.

Donna Hiers, Faye Combs Head Campus Literary Publication

May Day-

The new editor of The Scroll, Miss Donna Hiers, who iiva re cent election defeated Luannc Hays of Atlanta for the position, is a junior majoring in English and religion.

She is from Pavo, Georgia. This year she has served as an associate editor with the Hill-Top News staff. She is a member of the Christadelphians, Student Christian Association, and Alpha Kappa Theta sorority. She was a junior vice president of the Stu- dent Government this past year.

Faye Combs from Fairfax, Georgia, the new business manager, defeated Dottie Mann of LaGrange, for the position. Miss Combs, also a junior, is an Eng- lish major. She has been the ex- change editor for The Scroll during the past year. She is a member of the Baptist Student Union and of Delta Phi Delta sorority.

The Scroll, organized in January of 1922, was originally a campus newspaper. Later, it was felt that since the campus was small, there was no real need for a newspaper at that time. At the beginning of the 1933-34 school year the paper was changed to a literary magazine, designed to

MISS DONNA HIERS MISS FAYE COMBS

encourage contributions of literary character and quality.

This year is the 25th anni- versary of The Scroll as a literary magazine. During the years there have been changes in the style of the magazine but its purpose has remained the same. Until three years ago, The Scroll was published only three times a year, but since then there have been four editions each year.

SANITARY BARBER SHOP Main Street — LaGrange, Ga.

Dr. Jennie Lee Epps, head of the Humanities Department is sponsor of The Scroll.

This year The Scroll has been dedicated to Dr. Joseph L. Ko- var, Miss Elizabeth Gilbert and Miss Iona Dilley.

T. V. Donated To Turner By Circle K

Through the efforts of the Cir- cle K Club a new television set has been placed in the TV room of Turner Hall.

The Student Government had made plans for a TV set to be in the living room of the boys' dorm, and a search was set forth for some club or civic organiza- tion to furnish the dormitory with one. With negative results the Circle K stepped into the picture and decided that its members could do the job. Mr. Austin Cook told them that the dormitory rent from out of town visitors would be contributed toward purchasing a set if they could supply the remaining sum.

They began planning how to raise funds and found that by sell- ing programs at the G.I.A.C. tournament they had a start. Next they began to prepare and sell hot dogs for the students. This brought in almost an ample amount; there- fore, they combined it with the sum promised by Mr. Cook and bought the set.

The Circle K will continue its hot dog sales to finish paying the remaining amount. With the aid of students they will be able to complete the payments before long.

The Sports Bug Panthers BY PAUL BUGG

Some weeks ago the faculty and members of the student body engaged in a volleyball game which ended with the faculty as victors. This was the first faculty win in quite some time.

In recent weeks the students have been involved in many volleyball games that brought out the best in this sport. Fraternities and sororities alike provided fans with some very spirited games. The Sports Department of the Hill-Top News has selected an All-Star Volleyball team from the recent activities and would like to propose a return match between the faculty and this all-star team.

The boys selected to the all-star team are: Wayne Copeland and Wallace Brown, Gamma Phi Alpha; Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Carden, Sigma Nu Pi; Olin Harp, Max Griffies, Mickey Reams and John Horton, Pi Delta Kappa.

The girls chosen are: Glyndell Thompson and Joyce Gailey, Delta Phi Delta; Margaret Shear- ouse and Virginia Stafford, Alpha Phi Beta; B. J. Croom and Marian Chapmain, Kappa Phi Alpha; Blanche Flanders and Mavis Sprayberry, Alpha Kappa Theta.

How about it, faculty ?

SOFTBALL Interfraternity Softball will commence this

week, according to the Interfraternity Council. Last year the tournament was won by Pi Delta Kappa but they should have a lot of keen competition as the other fraternities try to take the trophy from them. Each fraternity will play 4 games as opposed to last year's double elimina- tion tournament. The winner will be the team with the best final record. Points are given toward the E. A. Bailey Award.

CAMPUS POLL

Should The Field Day Be Changed?

By JANE NIXON Would you prefer that Field

Day competition be between classes or sororities and fraternities?

Donnie Murphy—Classes, so that it will bring about more class spirit.

Sherrill Penn—Inter - fraternity because there is too much differ- ence in class size. It also brings about more spirit.

Elinor Bennet—Classes, because the school is too small for sororities.

Doug Williamson —Fraternities Otherwise intended annihilation of fraternities will inevitably come.

Ann Knight—Sororities, because there is enough division of classes as it is.

Jerry Woodberry— Fraternities, because there is more competi- tive spirit.

Ann Gower—Classes. Sororities and fraternities aren't just for field day. They need other pro- jects to promote the spirit.

Janet Sutherland— Interfratern- ity. Dorms unite classes, sororities and fraternities unite the student to the student body.

Did you realize that on what today is the athletic field were once eleven colored houses; that up until 1951-52 there were no larking areas on the hill; that a heavy thicket came almost to the back of the kitchen until a few years ago. Within the last 1C vears some remarkable changes have taken place on our "hill."

Until 1955, the present athletic field was the site of eleven Ne- "?ro houses located on two streets, one cutting across the field and the other leading to Oreon Street beyond the field. These two streets were named for Rufus Smith, a former president of the college and his daughter, Maidee Smith, a long-time faculty member.

The college four years ago. bought the property where the houses stood, and sold the houses to their occupants, on the under- standing that the houses were to be moved off the field. The roads running by these houses were closed, and the field was graded and became the college athletic field.

A heavy thicket used to cover the side of the hill and what is now part of the parking area. While cleaning out this thicket periodically, college janitors re- peatedly found jugs and bottles of "moonshine." The occupants of the houses on what is now the athletic field would make a mad scramble up the hill in the attempt to get to their bottles before the janitors did. Finally, around 1954, workmen began to clear out the thicket, and today Turner Hall, begun in 1957, stands on part of the ground covered by this thicket.

Before Turner Hall was built, some of the men students and some faculty members lived in four houses that stood on the ground where the new gym is now located.

Around 1951-52, parking areas were built on the hill. A little later, the roads on the hill were resurfaced and the two existing tennis courts, which had been clay, were also resurfaced. Later, a third tennis court was built.

The entrance to the college has been changed from Broad Street to Vernon, which formerly was the exit. New roads have been built around the campus.

The old tool house now standing on the hill above the athletic field was built to hold tools and scrap lumber. This building used to be hidden from view of the college by part of the thicket. It is planned that this building will be removed sometime in the near future.

One can see that the college has changed and been improved quite
