. . . Louisburg Colleye The newest addition to the campus is the Auditorium- Classrooms Biiildinu;. purcluised in June. 1961. Its re- novation made it a pleasant place to learn. In progress is the construction ot the new men ' s dorm- itory beside die FrankHn l)iiildin ;. Belore long it will be completed— another step in the growdiofl.ouisburgCoUege. All oi these buildings compose the Louisburg College that the class ol 1962 knows, with one exception— die campus of oaks. Those tall, old oaks are laden with snow in the winter and wiili green leaves in the summer. Whichever the case, il is to man) ' the most bcautilul campus in the world. The purity of the snow enchants thetrees, but spring brings vivid greens that stir the spirit. The drab brown of fallen lea es is ne er depressing, and the brown is preceded by gay reds and yellows. Who has not seen the squirrels chasing about in the spring or diligendy storing nuts for the winter: ' Who has not heard the changing of songs as birds move in where others have moved out? (]ould Nature be more real any- where else? fai-ESI SWMfauulIMM ... Louisburg College ... May italwaysbeas stalwart and inspirational as the graceful oaks that surround it! May its memory always be held in the warmest part of our hearts! May it continue to be an inspiration and guide!

Hears at . . . Louisburg College. Fornierlv it served as a dormitory for men students. For years now its has been the women ' s dormitory and liouses today one liundred two women students. More than one student has made lile-long and yery dear friends within the walls of Wright Dorm. It has been the home of students who hayecarried its memory in the choice spot of their hearts. Wright Dorm provided room for more students. Con- sequently, the classrooms were not adequate to meet the need. Franklin County Building was the answer to a prayer. This buildmg is like a twin to Davis Building; they stand on either side of Main Building, giving bal- ance to the view. Like protectors both Davis and Franklin Buildings stand, demanding respect for their elder. Progress continued, and in 1948, a cafeteria, built from war surplus materials, was added to the campus. A gym- nasium came next in 1950. Increased attendance meant an increased number of appetites; so, in 1959, the Benjamin N. Duke College Union Building was constructed— a modern and beautiful work of art. The cafeteria, patio, and soda shop are features of this building. This new cafeteria left the old one without a job to do. However, the old cafeteria was not to be useless long. The Department of Fine Arts moved in and is there today. I il 11™ ' i:g
