DEDICA TION A little man with a big personality: There ' s his unbounded energy; his glowing eagerness in discovering a new fact or truth; his sincere friendliness revealed by a smile in his voice, and a warm heart in his smile. Inside a huddle of us students on the hall, in the classroom, or elsewhere, over and again he may be found cheerfully sharing a new bit of humor or wit, enthusi- astically reviewing yesterday ' s game, clearly explaining some es- pecially difficult point of science, or earnestly discussing some question of the finer ideals of everyday living. Often we go to him for solving our disturbing, individual problems. We receive sometimes a word of explanation that makes the hard seem suddenly easy, sometimes an honest but unoffending analy- sis of our faults, sometimes a new courage to face the task ahead, but always the feeling that we have been with a friend. There is nothing too small to seem unimportant to him if it affects us and nothing too big for him to attempt if he feels he can help us. With all this he is ever the student and teacher of science who finds God in the world of matter and energy about which he teaches us as students. — These characteristics and more of their kind suggest our impression of the one to whom we affectionately and appreciatively dedicate The OAK of 1953.

This is My Lou is burg by FELTON B. PARKER CLASS OF 1951 ... I remember each brick, each stone. Each towering oak, each May Queen ' s throne; Countless times the squirrels I ' ve seen — Running, playing across the green; The yellow da ' ffodils in spring; Fragrant memories these do bring Until the flowery dogwoods shed White tears of joy on earth ' s green bed. The nights grow warm and wet and dark — A campus bell and morning ' s lark; And then the time of day did fly, Leaving shadows in the sky; Then the moonlight gently fell, Gracefully draping the campus well In a silent silver blue. Giving life to all it knew. From the steps these things I saw: Beauty, Life, and Nature ' s Law. As I entered my years were few — I remember classmates, faculty too. Through the years my joys increase; My love for Louisburg can never cease. Here my friends and I shall meet; Years of happiness here we keep. And may the future generations find The happiness here that I ' ve called mine, For this is my Louisburg.
