Hut ill lySf) the ( ' icneral Assembly of North Carolina m ' t and appointed fifteen men ot I ' ranklin county, who were to form the Franklin Academ ' . Major Brickell j ave the land; and the first building, a two-story wooden structure, was erected across the street from where the college now stands. Its first president was Matthew Dick- inson, a worthy man, and a graduate of ' ale. He resigned alter serving three years, and was succeeded by Mr. Hobbitt. In 1S02 the female department was added with a fee of only ; )l6.oo per year, under the supervision of Mi;,s Partridge. She soon married Mr. I obbitt, and under their guidance the college made an enviable name for itself. Thus for many years Louisburg College struggled on, its sole h.ill ot learning being an old two-story wooden building which is| now called the Annex, until in 1S57 the Main Huilding was erected and formally opened. Mr. Southgate safely guided our Alma Mater through the Civil War, ,uid the end of conflict found her standing unharmed, her majestic pillars raised in triumph to the sky. Days of trouble followed. At times it seemed as if she must truly fail. Prospects were dark indeed when she almost passed into the hands of a race other than our own color. But fate willed it otlierwise, and Louisburg continued unmolested on -the path of female education. The year 1 89 1 marked another imjiortant milestone in the history of our college, for it was during that year that she was deeded over to our own Washington Duke, whose son, Benjamin Duke, gave Louisburg into the care of the North Carolina Con- ference at the death of his father in 1907. It was after the conference took charge that the Davis Memorial building was erected, and modern heating devices were installed. In 1915 Louisburg entered into her own when she took her rank among the first Junior Colleges of the South, pronounced and recognized as such by the General Board of Education. Louisburg College has had a glorious past, but a still more glorious future awaits her if our dreams and labor bear fruit. In 1922 the Board of Trustees was extremely fortunate in securing Mr. A. W. Mohn for the presidency of Loui sburg College. In years to come it will bq impossible to think of the college without thinking of Mr. Mohn, for it was he who not only dreamed dreams of a greater college, but realized them. In 1917 there were only Main and Davis Buildings. Today, 1927, thanks to Mr. Mohn, there are many additional improvements. In 1924, West Wing was completed, and Main Bm ' ldirg was comnletely remodeled inside. In 1926 Wright Memorial Dormitory, a building donated bv our b-nefactor, Mr. R. W. Wright, in wmnvMHaMNwl y iiiemory of his sister, who was a stiuleiit at Louisburg, was completed. This year Franklin County Building, a perpetual nioiuunent in brick and mortar to the Franklin County people who responded so gallantly to the call of Greater I juisburg, is under construction ; and hopes are high for the beginning of our Fine Arts Huilding, to be placed down the hill opposite Vv ' right Building. It is our dream, our hope, our prayer tli.ir i j 7 will see the absolute completion of the stu|uniious program being enacted for our college. When our plans are completed, the college will cover twice the area she now does. There will be a chapel and Fine Arts Building, which will correspond in position to Wright Building. Just back of Main Building the (lymnasiiun and Infirmary will be erected. Also, oh, joy to the teachers, there will be teacher ' s cot- tages scattered about the campus! Just back of the (lymnasium atui Infirmary there will be Tennis Courts, a track field, and modernly planned and eijuipjied grounds for women ' s athletics. This dream of our greater Alma Mater is no longer just a dream, but it has de- veloped into a state of reality, for campaigns arc being conducte l for the ac(iuisition of fimds to insure the realization of this dream. Education is ever a prime factor in the welfare of a nation. The people of the South and of North Carolina are waking to this fact. Louisburg College, as she will be ten years from now, will be the result of this awakening, and the fruit of our dreams, labors, hopes and [irayers. O Louisburg, we honor your past, love your present, and hope for your future! May your record of Christian Education never diminish, and as the years roll over your head, may they bring you only greater honor and glory! A. V. MoHN, PrisiJinl S. P.

Since A ' incy is one of the smallest members of the Senior Class, we sometimes wonder where she keeps her vast amount of knowl- edge stored away. She is always ready with an answer to any question that she may be asked. She has the power of reasoning that seems denied to others, and when she does not know a thing she at once sets herself to the task of learning. Wincy is often called inno- cent. Her very expression portrays the sweet and child-like part of her character.

Finally, 1 ilcciili ' il 1 uiHilil go to the Gypsy camp ami ask thr fortune genii to tell me of my class mates. A woman dressed in many colors gave me a crystal hall to look in. At first I could see nothing; and then dimly, I could discern the great columns of my . lma Mater, Slowlv the picture faded and there stood Frances Woodlietf, our class president. She had her vir)lin in her hand. I tried to speak to her, hut could not, as she was talking so hard to some man about the concert that was to be given that evening. She was the company ' s violinist; Grace Windly was the soloist; F.va Helle Bobbit was the dancer; Anne Woods the reader; while May 5reen was the one whom they all loved, for she made their costumes and prepared their meals. This scene changed, and I noticed a sign that read, F ' xcellent School — Special Traif)ing in Math and Spanish. l he dt)or opened, and I saw noroth Cjardner anti Lucille Taylor seated at a desk. A mischievous boy rtood before them with tears in his eyes. Lucille (luieted the child, while Dorothy said in a firm voice, No matter what the offense, no one is to be campused at this school. The door opened, and two women entered. One of them held a Math book. She was professor of .-Mgebra and was none other than . ' udrey Midyette. I was so surprised. The other was F.lizabeth Thompson, the Spanish teacher. My wonder knew no bounds. I turned the ball again, and there stood Blanche Benson, Janie Fletcher, and Frances Yelverton, presiding over a well-kept kitchen in a modern traini ng camp. I was not a bit surprised, for ail of them had been excellent sports and great admirers of the men back at L. C. Suddenly this scene shifted, and there was a court room. I peered closer into the glass and recognized the judge to be Marie Hester. It seemed that the case on trial was this: Two women had stolen the hearts of two men and refused to give them bacK. The guilty were Sallie Mae . Iphin and Minnie Mae Beaman. Fheir lawyer was Cornelia Frizzell. She pled their case nobly, and won a victory for her classmates. I turned the crystal rather suddenly, and who did I see but Jay Williams and Natt F.xum. They were placing in the attractive windows of a small shop a poster that read, ' .Ml who desire to learn the secrets of beauty — patronize us. They are wealthy by now, I suppose. Ciradually the picture faded, and I turned the glass. The scene which I saw next took place in a beautiful church. I saw several girls dressed in wedding garments, and upon gazing hard at the crystal, I could discern quite plainly. Ruby Dail, Lucy Clifton Boddie, Marjorie Johnston and Montee Moyle. In front of them stood Mildred Ed- wards. They had followed her example. In a minute the minister came out to talk to them, and I was much surprised to see that it was Lillian Howell. I turned the glass and saw Alice Averitt, a ballet dancer, giving lessons to Hazel Mann, Isabelle West and Lina Wilson. They were to tour Europe that fall. Margaret Newbern was treasurer of the band, and Eunice Butts was pianist. . s I peered at the glass, .■M ' .ce Poyner, Eula Purnell and Margaret McLeod appeared. They were making a tour of the West and with them were Martha Hagley Yelverton and ' irginia I ' odd. rive vagabonds 1 As happy and carefree as ever. The next scene was quite beautiful. Flowers were everywhere. I looked closely and there were V ' erna Maxwell, Frances Stanton, Vera I ' srey and Catherine Thomas, all classmates of mine. They told me that ihey were in the florist business and that they were sending lavender and white flowers to every member of our class. I thought it was sweet of them; but I remembered that they had always been thoughtful girls. .Another turn of the ball, and I could see .Adelaide John- son, .Allene May and Minnie Lancaster. . 11 queens of the school room. Miss Guthrie and Mr. Best had not taught in vain, for they were three successful teachers. When the pupils of thee three illustrious teachers were homeward bound, they were taken in large, comfortable trucks 5 ' driven by Nancv Taylor, Pearl Panton, Mary Frances Respess and Margaret Crcdle. They ex- plained that thev had taken this job in order to train for the Charlotte races, in which they com- peted each year. Whv, what in the world was that? Ves, ' .t certainly was a car load of brick, hut what in the world were Mabel Bradsher, Inez Chadwick and Ruth Watson doing unloading them? I could only guess that they were building a gvninasium, so that the poor girls would not freeze to death whi ' e Miss Whitehead called the roll. Just then, .Annie Noble came up in a big car to take them to dinner. From her appearance, I presumed that . ' iinie had married a rich man. This scene vanished, and I saw Lucille Lawrence, Wincy HIakeney, Mamie James Blue and CIvde Johnson trimming luits Ic r ihe tarult . 1 mitiied iliai all these brims came down in front, and supposed the reason for that was that they did not want the faculty to see everything that the girls did. Next I saw a tent pitched by a small stream in the woods. I looked closely and there were Nannie Field:., Herta Jones and Louise Joyner. They were out and out suffragists ami the reason for their present encampment was the desire to use the freedom they had ga ned since graduation from l.ouisburg. Hut while pondering the situation, three women dressed in blue coat suits, with clubs in their hands came up. These policewomen were Dori. Hancock and, yes, Georgia Coggin. They were chcckng up on the girls of ' 27 to see that they were where they should be. 1 turned the glass slouly, but all was gone. Tired, but extremely happy, I handed the crystal back to the fortune teller, and left. I went away with the heart of a girl graduate, delighte ' l at the success of my classmates. 52 KN«WiwaM Wti«W VWW ViW W V W MWWaM flW Senior Class Song Years, hiipf ' y yai ' s.

Vc Miana;;cd to pay off our aiunial debt anil we alwa s stooil reail to help our sister class, the Juniors. The next vear, seven id our class returned, feelint; ver sophisticated. Twi) of the seven had joined the class of 26, but eisht new j irls were added to our list. I ' his gave us thirteen on roll again, but we were too educated to be superstitious. Elizabeth lluggins was elected president, and Miss Nell Woods, class teacher. They were faithful leaders, and after having sold many gallons of ice cream during the year, we were free from all financial worries at the end. Last year, four Sophomores returned, proud of the fact that we were really college girls. We were also proud to know that we were no longer a small band of thirteen, but a large class of one hundred and twenty girls. Many of this number belonged to the Commercial Department, but they were claimed as Juniors. Frances Stanton, one of our new members, was elected president, and Misses Nell and Louise Woods class teachers. These very diligent workers helped to make last year a noted one in our history. The three events which took place during the year, and the three which proved to be so very successful, were the Junior Circus, the Junior Follies ami the victory over the Seniors in basketball on Thanksgiving day. It was wonderful to feel that we were a step ahead of the Seniors, though we were taken down when they received their diplomas in May. We watched them fervently, our hearts swelling with pride when we realized that our day was very near. Can it be possible that we are Seniors? We arc feeling not altogether as we thought we would feel. Our happiness is mingled with a few tears, and we wish that somehow we could be Seniors next year instead of this year. Fifty-three of our Juniors came back, and six new girls were added to the list. Frances Woodlieff has served as a most efficient president, and our class advisors. Miss Bizzell, Miss Sheek and Mrs. Mnhn, have jiroved to be very substantial crutches on which we often lean. This vear we have had the pleasure of taking part in the dedication of the Pattie Julia Wright Memorial Dormitory, given by Mr. Richard Wright. The dedication services took place on November the twenty-third, a day that we shall never forget. In December we gave a bazaar which was a great financial success. Among the entertainments which we put on was a Civpsv Carnival staged on the campus. It was quite picturesipie and different from anything that had ever been given before. Frances Kaspar Lawson, popular American soprano, gave a concert in the College Music Hall in the spring under the auspices of our class. Now- we present our motto and our work at the portals of Louisburg College. 54 Last Will and Testament State of North Carolina County of Franklin City of Lodisburg lOflSBTRG COLLEGE We, the Senior Class of Loiiishurg College, having been declared sound in mi[id and memory, and fully realizing that our time in said College is nearly expired, do hereby make our Last Will anti Testament, becjueathing all our worldly possessions to the rightful heirs.

It surrounds its young women with a more homelike atmosphere than they would otherwise enjoy. It embodies not only social lite, but an earnest endeavor to increase loyalty toward Cjod, the faculty, the student body, and toward self. The fra- ternity furnishes a strong and lasting link to college life. It is a chain by which the bonds of friendship are strength- ened by the bonds of sisterhood. We have three fraternities at Louisburg — the Delta Iota Kappa, the Sigma Delta Theta, and the Alpha Omega Phi. These fraternities are made up of groups of congenial girls who have chosen to form themselves into secret organizations. They work together, play to- gether, and the spirit of sisterly love exists among them, guiding them to the higher, nobler life.

Student: I am at the very door of flunk- ing. Won ' t you help me? Teacher: Yes, my dear. I will push you through.  Miss (uithrie was discussing an Education lesson one day, and asked Jay Williams how- she liked picture shows and books. The reply was: I don ' t like them. 1 like the real stuff! One day in math class Dot Gardner picked up Mis. Bizzel ' s grade book, thinking that it was her college algebra. When Miss Biz- zell asked her to put it down. Dot said: It is blue just like my hook. To which Miss Bizzell replied, That book is blue because it has such poor grades in it. es Mae: What would happen if Miss Sheek ' s hair turned black? Sallie Mae: She Nould have black hair, of course. « While Matt Exum (the prettiest girl) is posing for the front page of the .American, Marg:iret Mcl.eod is posing for the Whiz- bang. « • Wincy: At the end of this year I shall have had ten years of foreign languages.

Mellie: No, but you stumped your toe sev- eral times. • • Eula Purnell went to her room. She did not want to study, but she knew; she ought to. Finally she decided to flip a coin to see whether she would study or not. These were her terms: Heads, I go to the show; tails, I go to bed ; edge, I study. Miss Betts: C7ood night, girls. Remember, when I take the light that there will be an angel with you. Ciirls: Couldn ' t you take the angel and leave the light? « • Miss Betts asked one of her students to make a rhyme. After a moment ' s hesitation, the student said: It ' s snowing as hard as it can; Virginia Todd wants James Cooper for her man. « Martha: I.ucy rides two miles a day for her complexion. Blanche: Oh, is the drug store that far awav ?  Miss C.uthrie: L ' se a sentence containing ' disposition. ' Dot Knowles (doubling up her fists) : Jack Dempsey fights in dis position. The history teacher was explaining to the class one day that some day we shall talk through the air without wires. One of the pupils said. Won ' t it be funny to have an operator tell you that the air is busy? 4 802 1927 LOUISBURG COLLEGE A Junior College for young women with a standard preparatory course of four years.
