Through many difficulties the college has passed anil will yet pass, I ml al- ways it has emerged possessing the renewed capability of improving itself. Many wars it has survived, and yet another it faces — but today Alma Mater faces her future with the strength of experience. In sacrifice, in patriotism, and in preparedness Louisburg stands ready, as in every American war since the Revolution, to give all that nobleness demands. DAVIS IN 1814 a frame building was erected as an addition to Franklin Academy, which at that time was a school for bovs. Here all the old preceptors, with the exception of the first, Matthew Dickinson, held their classes. Franklin Academy was then a frame building on a hill about a quarter of a mile from Louisburg. a village of a few- houses and two stores. ' T ■(« 4VU, W wm V4,.

'  v  1c LUTHER RiYMflO TIFF jbecuH., 4 41x1, Soldier TO Dean Luther Raymond Tatf this hook is dedicated, in deepest appreciation of the qualities students search for in every teacher, and found in him: understanding and guidance. Now he is in honorable service of his country: he has made the transition from dean and friend to friend and soldier. At Louisburg College his absence is deeply felt. In appreciation of his four years of labor in behalf of the college and its students, this book is dedicated, to express this all-prevailing sentiment: that nothing can re- move from Louisburg College the great gift of liis understanding and guidance — his influence. AyMli ISTI{ TI(li But ulien llu bugles soum Ii-(I war . . . This is a clay of khaki and guns, things that luue a special meaning for toda). They represent plans and ambitions, hopes — perha|)s lives — given up. It is hard for a man to give up williout MUfi rios what he has labored for. to wear kliaki. It seems that a man would break with all hi ' had made himself. But manli- ness is made of stronger fiber. It is a quality unstrained — a power of acclimation, of profiting from its circumstances, and retaining its noblest virtues in perverse situations. It must indeed be a hard thing — and yet they do it every day. They do it at Louisburg College. One soldier ' s story proves it: Less than a year ago he sat in his class odice and worked with annuals and school papers, students and their themes and tests — all. things he had sought for and had begun to attain — and then the bugles sounded. Yes, they luue done it at Louisburg. and tomorrow they will do it again. And the college, rich in memories, looks w ith fondness on those who go, for many a war year has it seen. Much does it know of the thing the world today now begins to recognize — that feeling in the heart concerning faith, honor, country, and God. Nobly, in days gone by, it knew khaki and guns — and sacrifice of those who went out from it in war years. . . . when the bugles sounded war They put their games away . . . They took the khaki and the gun Instead of cap and gown. itoun OF TRlSniLS Reverend W. A. Cade. President Mrs. Genevieve Perry, Secretary EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Reverend A. P. Brantley Mr. E. H.

SEilORS HERE are the seniors of Louisburg College, who for two years have been fighting little battles — battles which were steps and stages in the war of learning and of growing up. Each maneuver of their f(irces had t(j be surveyed and pondered from the vantage round of good judgment, and numerous enemy obstacles in the form of distractions had to be surmounted before their advances could be made. Their enemies were many; but their allies, the professors, aided them in determining their strategy. Their artillery and munitions they stored up within themselves in the small hours of the night, and fired it. volley after volley, at long mimeographed sheets and black boards covered silli (]uestions. They broadened their field of maneuvers in outside activities; on holiilavs they reconnoitered to find tlieir next approach. After two years of active participation in battle they are given the terms of truce on their report cards and receive the final peace treaty on the morning of Monday, Mav 25, 1942. 11 8Eil RS Lela Adams.

They are those who have taken the first steps on the long march to learning. To them Louisburg College has yet its best to offer, though their first and fiercest battles ihev have already fought. By now they have learned to maneuver and have found their best allies. They have learned where to find their ammunition and have become familiar with the battle ground. It remains to them now to pass through the thick of the battle and prove themselves worthy of the final peace. 19 J O 1 R S FirsI row, lejl to right: Stella Aldridge, Oiieiital; Maxiiie Alford, Elizabethtowii; William Andrews, Louisbuig; E.

The Gamma Upsilon Chapter at Louisburg College was organized in 1939 iiiuler the sponsorship of Dr. Thomas C. Amick. Through its activities and requirements fur mem- bership Phi Theta Kappa seeks to promote scholarship, to develop character, and to cultivate fellowship among the members. At present there are twenty-two members in the Louisburg chapter. Alpha Pi Epsilon is a nati inal licmorarv secretarial fraternity. The Lambda Chapter at Louisburg College is the first chapter of the fraternity formed in tlif State of North Carolina. This chapter was formed in 19.)o under the sponsorship of Mrs. V. R. Kilby and has been an active campus organization since that time. Membership in Alpha Pi Epsilon is based upon high scholarship, pleasing personality, and good charac- ter. At present there are nineteen members in the Louisburg chapter. Beta Phi Gamma is a journalistic fraternity affiliated with Alpha Phi Gamma, national co- educational journalistic fraternity.

Assistant Business Manager Street Kornecay Typist This year, 1942. the new volume of The Oak adopts a new theme — one rising from new cir- cumstances in today ' s world. Our yearbook re- flects the tenor of our times, the prevalent feeling of toda — the wondering and uncertainty about the futijif. Hut e eii this uncertainty and transi- tion we deem wortliv to record, for it is the senior year that life has lirought to us — a year that may prove epochal in our lives and in human history. In future vears some volume of The Oak will, we are confident, show ' a newer world — an era of progress and of peace. 36 iltliletifs jHeii Qa ncfCufU CHEER LEADERS Sh iriev Lancaster. Troy Barrett.

We like the sportsmaiisliip. the wav the players play, the way they hold their heads high when the going gets tough; better still we like the characteristic way in which they conduct themselves off the field. Both boys and girls cultivate something more than just the skills of the game. The girls ' physical education is a varied and in- teresting intramural program. The classes are not just classes but are the backbone for tournaments, which are held in their seasons. There the girls learn added appreciation of other games that they watch from the side lines. In the boys ' intramurals the side lines add color to all our games. How the cheers go up as those Trojans of Louisburg go ahead in the closing minutes! Everybody just about goes wild, and that wad of gum — well, no centrifuge can decompose rubber anv quicker. That gum is just chewed to nothing. The spirit makes everyone forget everything else but the game. Who can help getting behind a Louisburg team? — no matter whether it ' s winning or losing, we want to, for our teams ha f ihal unyielding fight that lui boards. Something else we like about our teams is that every boy or girl who goes out for a sport does so for the pure love of a game, nothing else. This motive gives the players and the students be- hind the players something inspiring. This feeling embedded deep within is the drive behind our athletics. So then, come on Trojans! on to victory!
