Laws of 1777- 1778. vf read the followiiij; law enacted January (i, 1778: Be it therefore enacted by tile (ieneral Asseinlily of tlie State of North Carolina — that Doctor .loliii Kinfj. William Lancaster — (and others) — he constituted and appointed trustees — to re- ceive — all moneys — that may he subscribed for the jjurjiose of erecting an academy in the town of Louisburg. Franklin County. North Caroiin.i bv the name of Franklin Academy. This document further |)rovides for ap])ointing teachers, for allowing tile school to give certificates ;nid diplom.is and for all other niatter.s pertaining to conducting a school of high grade in I.iniishurg. In this charter were the beginnings of I.ouisbnrg College. On the hill overlooking the Tar River, a large tract of land was bought by the Trustees and a suitable building was erected in 1779, a faculty was chosen, and Franklin Academy commenced its work of usefulness in educating the young jieople of the State. Before any state university had ever been chartered, the institution that flowered into Louisburg College commenced its career of service to North Carolina. Matthew Dickerson. the uncle of Cyrus W . I ' icld. of Atlantic Cable fame, was the first principal of the school. He was a native of Connecticut, a graduate of Yale, and was thoroughly jircpared to conduct a great school for the people of eastern North Carolina. The course of study included, in addition to the elementary and grammar grade work, such subjects as literature, rhetoric, metaphysics, philosopin-, geometry, trigonometry, analytics, surveying, astronomy, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French. Italian — and all for a tuition charge of twenty-six dollars a year. The school drew large numbers of students and was successful from the beginning. In 1813 a female department was added to the Franklin Academy, the female department being located on the present college campus and the male department being located on the site of the present Mills High School. Courses of study were outlined to tiach the young women the subjects of reading, writing. English grammar, arithmetic, gi ' ogra|)liy. astronomy, painting, music, and ornamental needle- work. The female dc|).irtiiiciit was called Franklin Seminary. In 1816, .lolin B. Bobbitt bccanir priiu ' ipal of the academy and ;i Miss Partridge from Massachusetts became head of the Seminary. These two persons soon formed an indissoluble union by marriage and. under tiieir guidance, the two divisions of the school estab- lished a re])Utation that made both schools and |)rincipals famous. The years ])assed. Franklin Academy and Louisburg Female Seminary con- tinued to make their contribution to the cause of education and noble living. Ac- commodations were outgrown and now buildings were erected. In 18.56, the demands on the school became such that a joint stock com])any was organized to build and to finance the institution. In that year was erected the jjresent administra- tion building and the name of the institution was changed to Louisburg Female I 2 Collt ' jit ' . The .■icadeiny was coiitiiuud on the sjxit now occupied l)v the Louisburg Hifjh School. The new adniini.stration biiihlinji: was one of the finest and best college buildings in the state for the time in wliich it was built. While most colleges were closed during the late Civil War period. Louisburg College continued its work of taking care of the young women, and, altliough federal soldiers occupied the Administration Building, the principal, Mr. Southgate, continued the work of education in tfie other buildings. After the Civil War the college was embarrassed by debt, but the struggle for existence and recognition continued until in 1891 when the property came into the hands of Wasliington Duke, one of the greatest benefactors of the South. L ' ljon the death of Mr. Duke in lltOT. his son. Benjamin Duke, transferred the college to the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and the Church has conducted the college for the benefit of the Christian education of the young women ever since. To meet the educational demands made upon the college, the Davis Memorial Building, the Franklin Building, the Fattie ,1. Wright Dormitory, and the central heating plant have all been built since tlie Church took charge of the institution. Louisburg College applied in U 1.5 for junior college rating l y tlie General Board of Education, and this recognition was granted. In the spring of 1923 appeared the first volume of The Oak, the college annual of the Senior Class of Louisburg College. This annual is published once a year and gives a bird ' s-eye view of the activities in which Louisburg College students engage. Many illustrious names in the history of education in N ' ortii Carolina have been connected witii Louisburg College, either as president or as a faculty member. Among them are the names of F. D. Bagley, Asher H. Ray. J. D. Green. L. S. Massey, M. S. Davis, F. S. Love. A. D. Wilcox, and D. E. Earnhardt. In 1931, under the administration of A. I). Wilcox, the college was made co- educational and it now serves to educate and train the young men as well as the young women of the state. The word Female was then dropped from the name and the college became Louisburg College. Since D. E. Earnhardt became Jjresident. tiie college has purchased a good farm of two hundred acres on the Henderson road, and the farm is being developed, and it is expected to produce the greater part of the meats, milk, and vegetables used in the boarding department of the College. Louisburg College is rich in history and in tradition. But it is young in spirit and is ever looking forward to serve the best interests of the young people and to educate and train them for the noblest and truest citizenship.

Dedicated to Louishurg College l)y the class of 1111.5. [35] Class History t)n September 7, 1937, our class entered Louisburn College to start on that loiif; Iwtrd .journey to higher education. Unaware of the many obstacles to be encountered, we started this tri]) with joyous ]ilans for two short years of entertainment, intersjiersed with a few hours of classworl . Our general idea of college was just another high school with the addition of dormitory life. Many changes took place in our group of ambitious youths before tlie trip was finally completed. Our first day in college was spent, for the most part, in petting acciuainted with our roommates, learning the different buildings of the cami)us and learning the new rules to which we would he subjected during uir stay at college. The sophomores were most willing to hel]) us, and within a little while we began to feel at home in this new abode. The next day, however, was (piite difl erent. 15y this time most of us were suffering fr om extreme cases of nostalgia, but we managed to go through tlie line of registration, filling (uir little white cards that were to play such a vital part in moulding our future. Soon classes began, and we realized that our careless, idle days were over, and we learned that failure is easier to achieve than success. Several of the students were unable to withstand this first obstacle and drojiped along the wayside, leaving the more ambitious ones to travel farther. As the warm, sunny days of fall gradually began to leeiH-n into winter, the si)irit of Hallowe ' en pervaded the air. Amidst the discussion of whether or not we would be allowed to i)lay any Hallowe ' en pranks. Miss Stipe announced that our first formal banquet of the .year would be held on October 29 and that a prize would be given to the persons who would most attractively decorate their table. Not one of us could possibly forget the way the dining room looked that night, as we swished down in our best looking evening dresses to the music of the college orchestra. We were overwhelmed with the inimitable change that had taken place since lunch bad been served. Spooks, goblins, jack-o-lanterns, brightly colored leaves, and shocks of corn were at- tractively arranged throughout the dining hall. So many clever ideas were carried out in table decorations that the judges contemplated many minutes before finally awarding the prize to Miss Jerry Tyndall. We had no more than recovered from the excitement of the decorations than enormous dishes of the most delectable food were placed on each table. An informal program, in which talented students and teachers participated, was given at intervals between courses. At the conclusion of the banquet, we all retired to the social hall, and enjoyed a program by the college orchestra. On Saturday, November V.i, the college observed the annual Honu ' -coming day, as it was the occasion of the football game with E.C.T.C. Several days before the sophomores had told the freshmen that they would be required to wear little signs with HEAT E.C.T.C. printed on them, and that anyone who did not would not be allowed in the dining hall. When the day arrived, we proudly donned this accessory to our usual dress, and sallied forth to the game, which was a brilliant display of well-coached football teams. Two days following the North Carolina Annual Conference, Dr. Karnhardt, our president, returned to us with the good news that the debt on the college had been taken care of by the conference. Whoops and shouts of joy rang through the dining room as this announcement was made. Upon seeing how pleased we were, Dr. Earnhardt asked us what we would like to do to celebrate, and immediately the hall rang with a request for Thanksgiving holidays. Our request was granted and Thanksgiving day found many hapjiy students enjoying the traditional turkey with their ])arents. Upon our return after Christinas liolidays, we found ourselves confronted with that terrible ogre that the Sophomores called examination. Long nights the midnight oil was burned while rusty weapons were cleaned and jiolished in order to win the battle with this monster. Examination started his attack on Monda.v morning at nine o ' clock. By Thursday afternoon the battle was over. Almost everyone escaped with minor injuries, and were even more intent than ever to complete the journey to success. The new semester was greeted with resolutions to leave oft ' some of our leisure hours and spend more time studying. Soon after an election for class officers was held, and the results were: Wallace Mangum, president; Laura Stutts, vice president; and Kathleen Rountree, secretary-treasurer. Debating and dramatics reached their peak in these next two months, with the freshmen sharing almost equal honors with the sojihomores. Louisburg made a name for herself in her first attempt at intercollegiate debating, when taking part in a tournament at Catawba College. The Dramatic Club gave its best perform- ance of the year when they produced The Paf.si , a three-act comedy. [36] Ho-liuin, spriiifr liail just arrived in all licr lory; strains from ( ' (luntry (iardciis Hoatril tliniUfrli the air, and pirls practiced tirelessly the intricate steps of the Morris Dance and reniiiided us that May Day was almost here. Saturday afternoon. May 8, f(mnd young ladies in brightly colored costumes tripjiing the light fantastic around the traditional niay|)ole before one of the largest audiences of the school ' s history. Another week of examinations ended our first year at college; and we marvelled over the successful completion of the first milestone of our journey. Tears streamed down the cheeks of dejiarting youths, to be dried only by the thoughts of returning next fall. A smaller, uiore dignified group of students returned in the fall. Many of us who the year before were graciouslv accejitiiig the assistance of sophomores were now helping homesick freshmen to get acquainted with the customs of college. . goodly inimber of the class took up their new responsibilities as officers of various organizations witli the determination to make this the best jear ever. Officers of the class were: E. B. Roberts, president; Margaret Cox, vice president; and Mildretl Murray, secretar.v-treasurer. One of the greatest marks of progress in this first semester was that of the A Cappella Choir. Under the direction of Mr. Bjerl.v, it accepted an invitation to sing at Annual Conference. One program was all that was necessar.v to establish a reputation. Immediately requests came for them to sing in many parts of the state, and hardly a Sunday i)assed that one, and often two churches, were not visited. AH during the fall several members of the class had been struggling to organize the Phi Theta Kappa Honorary Fraternit.v. This fraternity is the Junior College Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, and everyone felt that its organization would be quite an asset to the school. Seven of our class worked and struggled until in December 1938 the charter was granted. The first meeting was held soon after, and officers elected were: Edna .Montgomery, president; Colton Allen, vice president; Lottie Fave West, secretar.v; and Allen Midyette, treasurer. Within a few weeks eleven new students were elected, increasing the number to eighteen. Initiation was fun. For two days girls were seen in skirts that were wrong side out, mis-matched socks and shoes, and red ribbons holding back flowing locks. The boys were changed to Little Lord Fauntlero.vs with ])ant legs rolled to half way between knees and ankles, and red bows at their necks. Since football was excluded this .year from our activities, our attention was centered on basketball. For many years we will remember the exciting games played by both boys and girls. Xor will we soon forget the severe cases of laryngitis we contracted in trying to win the games with our voices as well as our bodies. Never in the school ' s history was more enthusiasm shown in battle than was shown under the roof of the gymnasium. The crowning social event of the year was the Valentine banquet on Februar.v 14. Again the contest for table decorations was carried out with even more keen competition than the .year before. The Louisburg Kiwanis Club was asked to be our guest, and twenty of the school ' s most attractive girls were chosen to escort this distinguished group of men to the banquet. When we walked into the dining room we went into a fairy- land of beaut.y. Before the evening was over, cupid had shot bis arrows of love and pierced the hearts of members of the campus that seemed completely immune to love. .Vfter our ravished appetites had been satisfied, we were delightfully entertained with a program given by students from the departments of speech and music. The early spring was a busy time for those who were planning to graduate. Students in speech and music practiced endlessl.v for their recitals that were so well presented that we wondered .just how soon it would be before the.v would reach the stage. The prize pla.y production of the year was SkiihUii . a comedy in three acts presented by the College Players in the latter part of the spring. May Day culminated the year ' s activities with tlie school ' s i aying homage to Mildred -Murray as May Queen, and Lucille Daniels her Maid of Honor. Members of the court were: Lillian Brown, Alice Cahill, Eunice Collins, Katherine Davi s, Laura E. Gardener, Odom Hudgins, Martha Reed Hutchinson, Frances Mc- Donald, Martha Parrott, Marguerite Ragland, Margaret Simmons, and Alice Southerland. As we donned our cajis and gowns for the graduating exercises, we faced the world with the motto on our lips, We have lived to learn during our ])ast two years, and now jiassing into higher learning, we pray to God that we may have jirofited by our experience. ,1ka.v Von Ca.von. ( ' lax.i II !.itoriaii. I 37 Senior Claims Proplioey In the year +9, Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Kolicrts were tiiurinfr Eurojie. They had visited the outstanding jilaees of interest and had returned to Paris to remain a few (hiys hefore tliey sailed for the United States. One day, while dining in a small side-walk eate of Paris, they were amazed to see Miss Margaret Cox who was in Paris studying dramaties. After a lengthy conversation, Miss Cox disclosed the fact that she was returning to the states in a few days, so they decided to sail together on the same ocean liner. The fact that hotli Mr. and Mrs. Uoherts (formerly .Miss t)dom Hudgins and E. H. Koherts), as well as Miss Cox, had attended Louishurg College ten years hefore served as a suhject for interesting conversation. When the liner ducked at the harhor in Xew York the three friends decided to visit Miss .Mildred .Murray, who had heeii the class secretary for the ' ;ii) class of ], iuishurg College. For the i)ast live years .Miss .Murray had heen working as leader in the I ' liited Charities Organization. Mr. Koherts, president of the class of ' US of I.nuisliurg College, had visited the college a short while hefore he left for Eurojie. He told .Miss Murray of the changes that had taken ])lace in the course of the ten years which had elajised since his graduation. He said that the college had retained most of its traditional aspects, hut the faculty as well as the students were all new. Tlie college had increased its jirestige, largely through the efforts of Maurice Peacock, the Puhlic Relations Secretary of the college. Maurice was so successful in his work tliat it had heen necessary for the college to limit its enrollment. In his work, E. B. said, Maurice came in contact with liis former I.. C. classmates con- stantly. One day, after making a lecture in Durham, he recognized in the audience Rev. Rohert Baine, jiastor of Trinity .M. E. Church, whose assistant pastor was , . C. Edens. A noted writer. Miss Evelyn Earnhardt, and her co-worker, .Miss Edna Montgomery, were in the same audience. Maurice sjient the night at the Washington Duke Hotel where he was greeted hy Linwood Keith, the jiroprietor. His meals were prejiared hy the exjiert chef, Paul Easterling. He was lulled to sleep l)y the music of .Maestro Edward Willoughhy ' .s orchestra. Liston Shaw was the drummer, and William I.vnch plaved the ohligato saxophone part. Tile next evening, Maurice attended a concert at Duke I ' niversit.v, given hy -Miss Edith Dixon, the noted jjianist. Miss Betty Hunn Beal rendered several vocal selections on the same program. Maurice was astonished to see his old friend Bonnie Lou Bullard, now head nurse of Duke Hospital, accomi)anied hy Claude Chaflin, a ))rofessor of tierman at Duke. Immediately following the concert, a reception was given for the two musicians hy Miss .lean A ' on Canon. lihrarian of Duke University, . mong the guests attending. Maurice recognized William Bowers, a successful architect of Durham, Elhert I.amni, research zoiilogist for the N. C. State Museum, and John Cochran, an interne at Hex Hospital. Dr. and Mrs. Walter ■Jones, who live in Burlington, greeted Maurice too. Frcmi them, to his great surprise, he learned that Alvin Staples had become a detective in Rii ' lnnond. and that Franklin Kime had become a salesman for CJeneral Motors Corporation. The next day .Maurice went to Fayetteville for a conference with William Pierce, president of the Fayetteville Bank and learned that Mr. Pierce had heen married for two years to Miss Margaret Trigg of W ' ilmington. In the Fayetteville ixistoflice he encountered Malcolm Lewis, the Postmaster. He lunched with Miss Lucille Daniels, an interior decorator. U])on leaving Fayetteville he drove by Fort Bragg. He dropped by to .see Mendall Long of Fort Bragg, a sergeant, and .lerr.v Ingram, a lieutenant. Billv Bryan, an aviator and Lloyd Bell, his co-pilot, had .just landed on the field. A few days later, Maurice was called to Pliu ' hurst on business. Wlule there he visited his L, C. roommate. Colton Allen, a prosjierous lawyer. He was welcomed to the town by Cliff Morris, the mayor. He learned that Leon Justice, the famous tennis player, was to c(mipete in a tennis contest, so he attended. At the meet, he was surprised to see Leelah Blanche Pittman, a noted New York designer and Alma Becton a popular model. The.v were visiting Miss Laura Stutts, the food specialist. He was also very much jileased to see Robert Luis, the iirofessional golf jilayer. When at Durliam. Maurice had receivetl a letter from Warren Petteway telling of his ajipointment as jtastor of Fifth . venue Church in Wilmington. Warren told ahi)ut of- ficiating at the marriage of .Mice Southerhuul. fornu ' r Secretary to the president of Meredith College, and Shirley . verett. proprietor of . verett s Dry I ' leaners in Oxford. He said that Mar.v Bethea. missionar.v to Korea, while visiting in Wilmington, had lectured on her work with missions. Sometime later Maurice lectured in Cliarlotte. After the lecture he was greeted b.v Peggy Ford, Director of the Little Theater in Charlotte. She invited him to her home where she said a number of her L. C. classmates were having a party. . t the part.v he saw [38] Hilly Clifton, i daiK ' f instructdr iif iKitf, with DorDtliJ ' Kcniii ' ily, an Eiipli.sli tfaclicr ill the C ' liarluttf juililic sdiocils. Maria tk-iirfrc, tlif artist, came witli Milclrftl ( ' i)le, a CDsim-tiilofri.st. Charles Williamson, a hroker and lioliert F.tiwards, a jiidjie, had hcen livinf; in Charlotte for tiiree years and were present. The told about their recent triji to New York and ahout seeiufi .Martha Blanche Uice who was iilayinfr the leadinfi role in the l lay Blue Skies, the most recent of Kichard Aufier ' s iilays. They also saw Wallace Chai)])ell (still .jestful) who had heconie a mo ' ie scout and who had helped Huldah Cientr secure a role in a new Holly- wood ))icture. Grover Hollowell, the arctic exjilorer, and Arch Ingram, an electrical engineer, ha])pened to he in Charlotte at the time and came strolling in later. The party grew more exciting when a knock at the door was heard. The open door revealed Robert fUkins, the newly appointed ambassador to Canada. He said that his secretary, . nnie I.ee liritt, would continue to assist him in his work. While visiting the governor at Haleigh only a short while before he had learned that Allen Midyette had been elected to the State Senate, and that Watson CJillis was serving his second term as a state rejiresentative. Peggy said that her old friend, Jane Fuller, was studying art in Italy. The next morning, when Maurice read the morning paper, he was surprised to note a new comic stri)). In Spencer Winberry. That same day he visited the dentist, Thomas Stubhs, whose ottice ball .just been dec-oratetl b ' .losej hine I.amm, interior decoratiir. Only a few days remained before time for the commencement at I.ouisburg, so Maurice drove back to I.ouisburg, accom))anied by Boyce I.assiter, a I.ouisburg mercha nt. . t the college, Maurice, formerly the editor of an amiual himself, learned that Robert AVhittemore had made the pictures for Thk (). k of ' 49, and that I.ois I.ane had become the secretar to Dr. Earnhardt, after Katherine Da is had resigned to become a shorthand teacher at W.C.CX.C., an l that Warren Carroll had become the Director of Men ' s .athletics of the college. E. B. told that Maurice was also very interested to learn that the college had published a Who ' s Who of its students of the last ten years. Naturally he was more interested in the data for the 39 students. part of this directory was as follows: Vernon Hill was an agriculturist in ' irginia. Celestine Hanlon was a beautician in Winston-Salem. Arthur Ingram was a .scul]itor in Chicago. Carl .Johnson was the head of the Norfolk Y.M.C.A. Hal Dixon was the cajitain of the jVornifiiidie.

The day of graduation came. The graduating class was largest in the history of the school. The speaker for the occasion was James Shaw, Head of the Sociology Department at U.N.C. By the time that Mr. Roberts had given this account in its entirety, it had grown late. The four friends agreed that it had been a most delightful occasion to learn about their former classmates. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts left New York the following day to go to their summer home on Lake Michigan, and Miss Cox left for Raleigh. Lottie F.wi: West. f ' la.i. ' I rnjihet.

For over three-fourths of a year now we have watched it jirow, worrying over every mistake, dis- cussing every satisfactory part. CJreat were (jur jilans as we started out. A large part of the work was comjileted tlie first semester; however, Christmas holidays caught us far hehiiid completion. I ' pon our return to school from the Christmas holidays, we started struggling with the lay-out, whether such-and-such cluh pictures should be size so-and-so. Photograiiher and assistants shivered ill tlie February winds taking group pictures. Merchants listened patiently while we explained how advertising in The Oak would assure business recovery. Finally, on the last day, we cut classes, missed meals, and scurried madly hither and yon, trying to get everything together so that you could have your annual today. ■ Ve have not tried to publish a history of the college, but only to set the people and activities of one year in a l)ackground of I.ouisburg College ' s past achievements. Here it is, then — your 1939 Annual. Probably you won ' t like it. We hope you will. But we have done our best, and have enjoyed doing it. The staff wishes to express appreciation for the co- operation of Mr. Luther TafF and Miss Virginia Peyatt, faculty advisers; H. Siddell, of Siddell Studio; and Mr. Wm. Oliver Smith, of Edwards Broughton Company.
