Shakespearian Tragedy, "Hamlet/'
Opens Two°Day Run Friday Evening
By DONNA HIERS
and RAY BARFIELD
William Shakespeare's "Hamlet," this year's annual classical
drama will be presented Friday
and Saturday at 8:15 p. m. by the
Curtain Raisers in Dobbs Auditorium.
This year for the first time all
seats will be reserved for both
performances.
Students may
make their reservations this week
in the Little Store. In exchange
for their regular season pass students may secure tickets for reserved seats.
The play will star Mrs. Ida Merle Allen in the role of Queen
Gertrude, Julian Dey as Hamlet
and Nancy Childs as Ophelia.
Charles Jones will be seen as
Polonius.
Although the tradegy was completed in 1601 and has its setting
in far away Denmark, it is today
still one of the most quotable and
beloved of Shakespeare's works.
The time of the play is during
the twelth century. As the plot
progresses one sees how one evil
deed leads to another until finally
it is a tragedy perhaps in every
sense of the word.

LC. Really Wins
Hats off to L. C.'ers! faculty and students alike.
It isn't everyday that you see members of the faculty and the student body sitting side by side yelling their hearts out.
It is hard to say what started it all, but it
was like a ball of snow. As time rolled on and the
tournament progressed you could see and feel high
anticipations mounting on "the Hill."
LaGrange College does not have the G. I. A. C.
trophy 'tis true, but actually we have gained something far better. As it grew closer to the end there
seemed to be a common bond between all. Hopes
were high. Although we lost the game, when the
initial shock was over, we were all still in unison.
Everyone felt he had done his part, even if
it was just moral support, so in victory or defeat
we all stood together.
Thanks to you, Panthers, cheerleaders, faculty,
administration, and students — thanks to ALL
who were interested. L. C. didn't lose after all, for
now we really have — School Spirit.
The Pioneer of Life
"Come along and live life with the 'Pioneer of
life.' With these words LaGrange College students and faculty found themselves transported
beyond their chapel seats and looking within
themselves objectively. It was an odd experience,
a new one for some, but a healthy, wholesome,
refreshing act. Lives were examined as students
heard the answer to the age-old question "what
is Life?" "It is living the best you can for
Christ." And perculiarly enough, Rev. T. Cecil
Myers seemed to have a medium's insight into the
problems of youth as he tried to pin-point some
of their problems. He gave to this campus something very rare — an intellectually stimulating
explanation of the marvels and power of Jesus
Christ.
It was not possible to merely "sit" in chapel
and be spoon-fed a simple message. The audience
had to listen with their ears, hearts and minds.
They had to weigh what was said and then found
to their surprise "why that's exactly what I
needed!"
The universality of the Christian message is
well-known and the logic of its teachings for all
people is obvious, but to a young college person,
searching far out beyond the realm of Sunday
school precepts and home teachings, it is good to
realize that these same precepts and teachings
hold up when examined in the light of intellect
and philosophy.
It is good to hear an obviously learned man
say, "Here is the essence of life. Here is something
you can take firm hold of in a quaking world.
Here is Truth. Here is the Lord of the Universe
and He is interested in YOU."
The students and faculty of LaGrange showed
the agreement felt on campus for the man and
his message by turning out in impressive numbers
each time he spoke in the Little Chapel in the
evening. Both groups filled the chapel and the
support shown Religious Emphasis Week was
outstanding.
To Rev. Myers goes heartfelt thanks for bringing to this campus an ancient message of an ageless Christianity — a faith that adapts itself to
each generation and each trend in thought, preserving always its basic belief that Christ is the
answer to the problems of the world.

HILL-TOPICS
Are Students Conformists?
BY JOHN HORTON
Have j'ou ever thought about
what LaGrange College would be
like if there were no Student Government?
Perhaps the situation would be
nothing like what would happen
to a nation or even a city without government but there are a
few similarities that merit our attention.
If there were no Student Government on the Hill you wouldn't
have much of a voice in what the
administration and faculty do. The
recommendations of this democratic organ carry more influence
than anyone wants to admit. Re-'
cent changes in policy and procedure have been a result, directly
and indirectly, of your Student
Government.
There are some places, colleges
and high schools, where the administrators have established a
dictatorship to satisfy their whims
and peeves. This invariably happens where there is no student
government, or where that sacred
freedom of criticism and suggestion through free speech is neglected.
That suggests another element
of the Student Government. It is
of no value if it is not used and
used properly. If a citizen is dissatisfied with the conditions of his
nations, state, county, or city
there are those to whom he can
express his oponions. The Student
Government at LaGrange College
is no less willing to help those
who are interested in improving
conditions on the Hill.
Many students are quick to
criticize the "law and order"
role that the Student Government assumes. What kind of a
city would your home town be if
all the police force quit. You and
your family would be among the
first to move away unless something was done quickly. Many object because their favorite pranks
and sins are curtailed. Others object because they feel that they
are too "grown-up" for some of
the regulations, unfortunately
everyone is not mature enough to
act independently of social restrictions.
The unfortunates who have
never had the honor to serve on
this body can't appreciate the
understanding of the majority that
it tries to develop. This association endeavors, as does any democratic institution, to mind the
majority with consideration of the
minority. This however is governed in turn by two higher
principles — one being the administration and the other the
high moral standards of a Christian college.
The Student Government is
yours, use it, and even hallow it
because LaGrange College just
wouldn't be L. C. without it.

should "keep up with the Jones"
and do likewise.
Dear Editor:
All this year we have been
noticing during chapel those who
desire to use that hour for a
study period, rather than to put
all aside and utilize it as meant
to be — to worship God. Many
concerned students have noticed
this and have discussed the problem, hoping to arrive at some
solution.
In the first place, common courtesy is not being performed by
the individual. Many think they
are hidden behind the person in
front, and that the speaker will
never know the difference in one
person's inattention. Any person
who has spoken before a group,
large or small, knows when even
ONE person is not listening and
can very well tell his attitude
during the entire talk. Suppose
three-fourths of the students sat
back, with heads down, and tried
to study. What would the speaker
think? What would he do? We
couldn't blame him for never returning, and maybe telling others
the rudeness displayed to him.
You may say this is an extreme
example — but as one influences
the other, it COULD POSSIBLY
happen. . . .
Some concerned members of
the Student Body.
(Editors Note)
The policy agreed upon by the
i
newspaper staff at the beginning
of the year in regard to "Letters
to the Editor" was that unsigned
letters can be printed only if the
Editor knows who wrote it. This
will eliminate the spiteful, vindicative type letter that should note
be printed in any newspaper. The
letters that are unsigned are kept
that way at the writer's request,
thus insuring" a certain amount of
freedom of speech in voicing a
particular complaint. It is hoped
that this feature of the paper has
and will continue to do some good.
In the long run, what can you
really learn in that hour while
trying to concentrate, and at the
same time look attentive? . . .

The Sports Bug Brown Voted
BY PAUL BUGG
The close of this year's basketball season gives
rise to many factors that should not go unnoticed.
The 1958-59 Panther story shows records broken.,
LC basketball history made and many tributes to be
given.
Finishing his third and best season, Coach Hiram Reeves is to be congratulated on the fine job he
and his squad have done this year. The Panthers finished the season with an outstanding 19-8 won-lost
record to break the won-lost record of 15-9 set by
last year's team. With only three regulars back from
last year Coach Reeves worked hard and diligently
to mold the finest team in the college's history.
The Panthers also finished second in the newly
formed Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
with a 12-2 record, losing only to the conference winner, Oglethorpe.
FIRST FOUR-LETTER MAN
Olin Harp, captain of the 1958-59 LC Panthers,
will graduate this year with a history-making distinction he can be proud of. Olin will be the first
four-year letterman to graduate from the "Hill".
Olin finished the season with a 5.6 point scoring
average in compiling 118 points in 21 games. He was
also third leading rebounder on the squad, hauling
down 181 from the boards for an 8.6 average.
BROWN TOPS IN SCORING
Guard-forward Wallace Brown, 6'-l", 178 pounder from Pine Log, Ga., finished the season as the
scoring leader for the Panthers. Wallace, in totaling
393 points in 21 games, averaged 18.7 points per
game. His highest single game total was 33 against
Troy State and stands as the highest single game
record of the season. Brown hit an amazing 51.5
percent from the field to top the Panthers in that
department.
Unanimously
As Meet MVP
Wallace Brown, 6'1" junior from
Pine Log, Ga., was voted Most
Valuable Player in the 1st annual
Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference Tournament. Brown
was the unanimous choice of the
coaches in the 8-team conference.
Wallace, leading Panther scorer
during regular season play, amassed a total of 57 points in three
nights as he led the Panthers to
a second place berth in the tournament. From the field he hit only
44% but tossed in 19 out of 22
attempts from the freethrow line
for an impressive 88%.
Also on the boards Brown
showed superb form, leading the
Panthers again, by cleaning the
boards SO times in three games.
This is Wallace's first year in a
Panther uniform and he has filled
it well all year. He transferred
from Young Harris Junior College
where he was a big threat in the
Lion's attack.
Wallace is one of the most versatile ballplayers in the conference. When Coach Hiram
Reeves was forced to fill a big
gap in his lineup earlier in the
season, Wallace made the switch
from guard to forward and finished out the season with a fine
performance at that position.
During regular season competition, Wallace lead the Panthers in
several departments. He poured
in 393 points for an average of 18.7

Lions 50-45. The Lion's John Kuiken, one of the conference's top
rebounder's and individual scorers, fouled out early in the second half and the Piedmont team,

conference's leading scorer, tossing in 23 points. Following this
contest the LC Panthers outscored
