Trusting that a mere mention of the before college days ' of our class will not depart too far from the traditional requirements, 1 venture a word or two. During the month of May and June there was in the minds of seventy-eight girls and boys the mental vision of that day two years in the future, when they should hold the genuine sheepskin of Louis- burg College, thus picturing themselves as a model of typified wis- dom. A great beginning, thought the juniors, when Billie Phillips of Louisburg was elected mistress of the class. Purple and gold were officially accepted as the colors, and the motto, Honesty, adopted together with the white rose as the flower. This class is the first ever in the history of Louisburg Female College to accept the plan of co-education. The first male student ever to attend this institution was Herbert Clark; the first graduate was Frederick Lowe. Once allowed to attend, the men rushed the gate until the student body became about equalized with boys and girls. Lydia Hartman of Battleboro, president of the Girls ' Student Council, ruled the females with a stern hand, and Dorothy Hurley, Smithfield, head of the Y. W. C A, was equally as successful in the discharge of her duty. These live wire organizations and two splendid national sororities functioning for the girls caused the boys to organize in defense a government for themselves. Herbert Clark, the first man to enter, was likewise the headman of the Student Council, and J. B. Petteway of Jacksonville, president of the Y. M. C. A. Every organization was functioning and the student life here on the campus seemed to be well-rounded, but the increase in the stu- dent body created a demand for amusement. For a while this ap- peared to be a real problem, but was solved almost completely by the organization of the athletic association. The football, basketball, and baseball teams all made indelible records under the direction of Coach R. G. Bradley. May and annual May Day festival was celebrated with Miss Dorothy Duval of Fremont selected as Queen of May and Miss Nora Browning of Littleton as her. Maid of Honor. Examinations the latter part of May ended a very successful year in the history of Louisburg College. In September forty-six seniors returned and in the initial meeting of the class Harvey Black of Durham was elected president. Joyce Price of Middlesex succeeded Lydia Hartman as head of the Girls ' Student Council, and Evelyn McCullers of Garner was the new president of the Y. W. C. A. Herbert West of Warsaw became president of the Boys ' Student Council, and after the Y. M. C. A. was reorganized by Mr. C. L. Jaynes, Dean of the Music Depart- ment, Robert West, also of Warsaw, was its first president. The first fraternity to be organized at Louisburg, Kappa Epsilon Alpha was presented to the faculty and students, November 9, with Mr. C. L. Jaynes, organizer, as sponsor of the group. One month later the Lambda Tau Zeta fraternity was formally announced, with Mr. Robert Fearing as sponsor. Examinations the twelfth of January ended the first half of the school year of constant changes. It is hardly necessary to go into detail and give you the results of each athletic team. It is only necessary to say that athletics, coached by Donald Hyatt, were a decided improvement over those of last 3 ear. Iay again, and this time it was Ruth Parker, Laskar, Queen of May, and Doris Strange, Louisburg, her Maid of Honor. This festival was very beautiful, attracting a record crowd at Louisburg. This brings us to the final examination period. Thirty-one man- aged to survive and are through our days at dear old Louisburg. How happy these days have been! May we continue through life with the same spirit and joy in living as we have our two years here. Herbert West, Historian. THE OAK, 1933 C m n d ( incz: m Qldss Prophecy (With Apologies to Carl Sanburs) you a moment brief ivill spare, I ' ll tell you Iio vj our schoolmates fare- I looked upon a concert stage, and ei ' eryone nj:as cheering For our oivn Dorothy Hurley fair and Mr. Robert Fearing. Ruth Parker, it ' s not hard to guess, ii-ent to another state. Her husband is a doctor nonjj. We kneiv ' t would be her fate. (But she plays a piano in a ten-cent store to make a Having.) Dot Duvall has a lot of fun, a-getting rich and richer. She tra-vels all around the state — she ' s married to a pitcher. True Blue ivent ii-est to raise fine dogs, and Billie icent to care For noble IFimpy and his ivife, good Olive Oyl, the fair. The Russel tivins, you ' i ' e read a great deal about, They put one in jail, and the other ivouldn ' t stay out. Laura Fovjler took cooking and seiving a lot. And noil- she is practicing all she -vjas taught. And then for Ida Fuller let ' s gi ve a loud cheer, ) She ' s famous by noiu in grand opera, I hear. Betty Valentine ivas famous throughout this state and all, For playing tennis ii-ith Emily King, ' til Emily broke her jaix;. r- Our pink-beaned Emily I found in a hospital or such — ' Tiias just a broken jais: she had, for che-zving gum so much. For Numa Freeman, friends, you ' ll raise a hue and cry. The first boy of N. C. around the ivorld to fly. John greiv iveary of ivomen and nj;ine. And icent to sea for the rest of time. Isy Wells, in Hollyivood, is ivorking to the bone. She ' s serving in the studios in the place of vitaphone. Sophie Green, as perhaps you kneiv, Is professor of chemistry at Chicago U. Fee Allen studied hard an engineer to be. And nonji ' he ' s built a bridge across tJie largest sea. 23 THE OAK, 1 933 Frances got her diploma, hui sJie migJit as ocv tear it, She 7narried Jier Ernest and ho-u: can iir Barr-it. Herbert Clark is not in jail, But teaches math at Princeton or Yale. Sara gre-zv iveary of poetry, and has gone to live at Jf ' arsa , N. C. Myrtle Mitchel (one ne-ver can tell) e thought ' v:ou d be a teacher, But ix-hat do you think Myrtlr did She married a poor preacher. A famous dancer is Ethel Xichols; She got thin by eating pickles. In the Franklin Times, I believe I have read That rirginia ' s an instructor in Physical Ed. John and Mary, the famous double, Have made a fortune by making trouble. Prudence took on the habit at dear old L. C. No-ll- she ' s telephone operator at JFindsor, N. C. And Evelyn McCullers, ice thought she ' d be a preacher, But she goes to all the baseball games, selling peanuts in the bleachers. The noise you heard all over the nation, If as Ben T. in Congress, delivering an oration. The fate of Doris Strange, my friends, is easy to acknoiv ' .edge, Miss Ziegler died — aand ivent to heaven — Doris teaches at the College. Poor Helen remained an old maid — please don ' t sob; She couldn ' t decide betv:een Harry and Bob. The entire truth I nov; have told. Fm sure v:e ' re vcortli our v:eight in gold. Louise Tuxstall, Prophetess. Sfe nc THE C AK, 1 933 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of 1933, as we see growing nearer the day when we shall depart from our Alma Mater, and realizing the inability of carrying our col- lege possessions with us, do hereby make and declare our last Vill and Testament. To Dr. Wilcox we leave our sincerest thanks for the many things he has done for us. To the faculty we leave the right to direct the incoming students of this college out of the depths of ignorance into the light of knowledge. To the Junior Class we leave the suggestion that they have as good a sponsor as Aliss Ziegler. To the Sophomore Class we leave our many sup- posed privileges in hopes that they will make as much use of them as we have. To the Freshmen we leave our sincerest hope that they will have enough members n;xt year to ha ' e class officers. F. H. Allen, Jr., Testator. 25 THE OAK, 1933 S m =)n( ) ( % i , n TT Qldss oem Perhaps this story ' s tragic, or at least that ' s how it seems; But it soon will be all over, and live only in our dreams. So we will not let it sadden us, it ' s for better we should know, That it ' s only just a picture — that it ' s all a passing show. We hare liked all our instructors — and we hope they ' ve liked us, too; We have had to meet our classes, and we ' ve tried to sit them through. The study seemed unceasing, for each one must learn his part; Sometimes ' twas just a comedy, sometimes a broken heart. But though we ' ve slaved and studied throughout two weary years. We count we ' ve had more gladness than of sorrow or of tears. And we ' ve recithed the sane conclusion that may save us lots of strife, That dear old Louisburg College is just another school of life.

FOOTBALL. 1933 All football teams cannot be on the winning side, but all football teams can have a fighting spirit; and our boys proved that they have plenty of fight and that they could win. We had a good coach and good material, but were handicapped by numerous injuries and an extremely hard schedule. Edwards, Harton, and Thompson were the big guns in the line, although Bullock, Goodwin, and Black worked mighty smooth when they were in the game. Captain Burgess was outstanding in the back- field for his line-bucking and tackling ability. Reavis could always be counted on to be playing a hard, steady game, and Robertson, when going good, made a flashy pass receiver. Several other backs — Wel- don, Paul, Riddle, and Hawley — looked good, but injuries and other difficulties kept them out of several games. 38 THE OAK, 1 933 C nc DEC ' SAMfe DEC DH First row: Reeves, Holloway Bullock.

BOYS ' BASKETBALL Coach Hyatt turned out a winning basketball team, with a record that we are all very proud of, defeating such teams as Washington and Lee Frosh, V. P. I. Frosh, and many others, and losing only four games, two of these being with semi-pro or independent teams. Captain Edwards was the season ' s high scorer, averaging 12 points per game. Burke and Reeve ■ played two brilliant guards, Burke outstanding on the defense. Richards, playing a fighting game at center, broke into a num- ber of scoring runs, and Hollowav, playing a wideawake game, working hard at forward. Bullock, Oglesby, Thompson, and Burgess looked like regulars everv time thev saw action. 2ss nc 3 SJG DH iS nc )nc THE OAK, 1 933 ' 2 g fS Dnc Dn Fh t row: Clark, Richards Burgess, West, Black, and Cole.

BASEBALL Considering the difficult schedule which the team had to endure this year, Louisburg College had a very successful season. Baseball, being one of the major sports, attracted widespread attention, and the fans were furnished with some really excellent baseball. Most of the team was composed of first year men, who only need the grand coaching which they received to develop them into good ball players. Only five letter men were out for the squad. The impressive pitching by Richards, West, Cole, and Weldon was aided by the heavy batting by Bullock, Edwards, Richards, and Clark, with the result of numerous victories. 40 THE OAK, 1 933 C nc DEC D Wf iC m ' DEC DH First row: Whitaker, Hudson.

GIRLS ' BASKETBALL Our girls ' basketball team this year had a very successful season of beaten victories, A change of coaches at mid-season caused the team to almost lose its enthusiasm, but finally the love for the sport caused them to rouse enough interest to end the season wiht several hard-fought games. These were of such a nature that we are anticipating a greater success from them during the season of 34. The line-up was: Forwards, Patterson, Hudson, Mitchell and Whitaker; guards, Allen, Nichols, Davis, and Tunstall; center, Rouse. S nc e ' e5l%Sfe : THE OAK. 1933 ATHLETICS AT LOUISBURG COLLEGE Under the direction of Coach Donald M. Hyatt, the boys of Louisburg College have played on teams that represent the athletic spirit at this College. Although not always on the winning side of the score, the hard-fighting teams that Coach Hyatt molded out of an exceedingly small amount of ma- terial left the impression that they played sports as though school spirit meant enough to fight to the last whistle. An age-old impression of sports is expressed in: ' Tis not the score that counts, But ho you played the game, and the young men of Louisburg College played the game with a morale that equ als any school in history. We have a young coach in the first year of his coaching career, and we are proud of the hard-fought lost games as well as the numerous victories that he pulled us through. Girls ' Athletic Director Miss Kathcrine Turner has kept the rose in the cheeks of our girls, kept them fit and healthy, and directed them in many athletic activities. Athletics at our college are clean, square, and solely for the betterment of our students. £ nc 42 ' mm DD OEeANIZATION efe nc DEC THE OAK, 1933 3J f km DEC Dn GIRLS ' STUDENT COUNCIL Joyce Price, Dorothy Hurley, Louise Tuxstall, Helek Chandl IsoLEXE Wells, Evelyx McCullers, Iola Lewis, Betty Valexti L BOYS ' STUDENT COUNCIL Herbert West, Albert Edwards, Johx Register Harvey Black, J.
