We ' re part antique, but we ' re anything but a relic. We ' re more like a fine oak cupboard that ' s been handed down from generation to generation. Even more valuable for our old lines and endurance. Reputable, sturdy, and as viable as ever. In fact, we ' re moving into our Third Century as the South ' s oldest two- year college. Nothing fly-by-night about Louisburg. We ' re all rich heritage and fine tradition. Every new class of incoming fresh- men has generations of predecessors who have been indelibly marked by Louisburg College. Every graduating class leaves its unique experience layered on our rich pati- na. Heritage and present are fused into a constant stream of tomorrows richer for hav- ing been here.

Some of Us Live Here Ready, Set, Go. Pre-registration. Students cringe at the thought of it. Twice a year the cringing reaches epidemic proportions with no easy cure. You must endure the anxiety of waiting in long lines, filling out miles of paperwork with cramped fingers, and the agony of wait- ing to know if everything is correct and if you got all the classes you wanted. Some find reprieve for the ordeal in two asperin and an afternoon nap. For others, the only antibiotic is a sigh of relief for bringing down Pre-regis- tration Fever. Following fall pre-registration comes the ordeal of moving in. Sometimes the campus looks like a clearance sale when school opens, but with things moving in instead of out. Sophomores know exactly what to bring while Freshmen struggle with box after wea- ry box and still wonder if they ' ve got it all. There are momentous decisions to be made, like what drawer the socks go in and who can help you lug your prized refrigerator to your third floor room. When the dust finally settles and Mom and Dad give you their wishes and drive off, it is time to make new acquaint- ances, find your way around and finally see what college life is all about. Getting in to the swing of things. At Louisburg College, 1981- 1982. The beginning of a new academic year. Fighting cramped fingers, Jamie Kite labors over final pre-registration forms. j Advisees flock to faculty advisors like Janet Hatley to help them with summer pre-registration. Sophomores have learned how to share the load.

Some of Us Live Here Day After Day A delivery truck creeps through the park- ing lot to the cafeteria while students sleep. The sun untangles itself from the bare trees. Silence is broken by the buzz of alarm clocks, the clicking of light switches, the hissing of showers. Books are gathered and doors slowly squeak open. The stirring of people vibrates down the hall. Once out of doors, the cool brisk air reaf- firms morning and the start of a day in the life of a student. Time is juggled through morning and into afternoon. Music from the dorm drifts down and swirls around students on their way to the cafeteria. Inside, the hum of chatter rises as spoons and forks are busily conversing with plates, interrupted only by the student ' s hands and mouths. Thoughts of the rest of the day are savored along with the food. Afternoon brings complacency and stu- dents are tantalized into leaving their studies and daydreaming of paradise far from the professor ' s class. Later, the trees again catch hold of the exhausted sun and the necessity of study looms. In the dorms, music swirls while laugh- ter prances. Television is sprinkled from room to room while silence lies dormant somewhere for studying. Finally light pushes back the darkness which surrounds the campus like a blanket. While the last page is read, the final check of Exotic gourmet cooking is not what students at Lou-U , jf loo k for; just a decent hamburger that won ' t bite back! events for tomorrow is confirmed, and the last light switch is flipped off, darkness and solitude floods the dorm rooms. Only the mid- night oil of some diligent students refuses to yield to the darkness, but that too will end, along with another day in the life of a student.

We might postpone death and we might evade taxes, but we will never escape laundry. For those who do their own, it can be like cleaning the garbage after you just ate, or it can be the star-studded extravaganza of the day. After watching all those commercials on laundry detergent, one might assume that doing the laundry isn ' t all bad. But then, you know that laundry commercials are geared to sell the product, not to the realities of ground- in dirt. The guys have some catching up to do compared with the girls. For most of them. Mom and the washing machine were taken for granted. But with infrequent trips home and the pressure of dirty underwear, guys have had to learn. They have discovered the machine and washing detergent for the first time. As to date, the whites are getting a little whiter and the ring around the collar is be- coming a thin necklace. Having mastered the art of clothes, guys, like their female counterparts, tackle making a home out of their rooms. Now we have the chance to use stuff we have found, collected, or bought.

Some are ex- otic, some home-spun and simple, some flam- boyant. They can be a quiet place of refuge or the light and sound of Studio 54 or Ameri- can Bandstand. Whatever the case, be it ever so humble, it ' s home. At least for the duration of your stay at Louisburg. Coming back to Merritt ' s laundry room to find your favorite shirt with mysterious stains or your best pair of socks no longer a pair can make a bad day worse.

Relaxing can aid Pam Miller in her effort to learn materi- al needed for her Western Civilization test Some of Us Don ' t Between Two Worlds Some of the students who attend Louis- burg choose not to live on campus for a vari- ety of reasons. Whatever the reason, these commuters represent a different portion of the student population. Chris and Marbeth Wrenn are two such students. Chris, 20, and Marbeth, 19, are married and have a not-quite two year-old daughter, Melissa. Marbeth chose Louisburg because, It was the only place I could get in since 1 skipped my senior year in high school. Chris said, It is much closer to home than Chapel Hill. The one thing they both agree on is that the teachers at Louisburg will go out of their way to help, and that the school has helped further their education. Both plan to attend N.C. State next year. Marbeth plans to major in the mathemat- ical and physical sciences and would like to teach at the college level. But only after I have made my first couple of million with a computer engineering company like IBM. Chris plans to major in Computer Science with a minor in Electrical Engineering and would like to work for a company like IBM designing computer circuits. He would like to possibly branch out into his own business after several years of experience. At present, he is learning how to build his own video game. Chris and Marbeth have been married two and a half years. Just now the two things that they feel they lack are time and rest. Chris works 44 hours a week at TG Y as a clerk and Marbeth stays at home and takes care of Melissa when not in school. They only have Saturdays and Tuesday and Thursday mornings together. The Wrenns met when their high schools were consolidated and there was a commit- tee formed with representatives from each class. They were both on the committee. They became engaged their junior year and were married their senior year, and Marbeth stayed out to take care of Melissa. When asked about the possiblity of more children, Marbeth quickly replied, Yes, four or five more. They both like kids and hope to have a large family. When Melissa was born Chris went into the delivery room with Marbeth. She explained that the labor pains were not that bad, at least not half what she expected; only the last thirty minutes were rough. Marbeth explained that they were almost late to the hospital because Chris decided to wash his hair before they drove to Raleigh. This was ironical; they both were late to their wedding. As for hobbies and pastimes, Chris wants to complete his home video game and Mar- beth would like to write childrens ' books. Good Luck from the Oak Staff! Carla Puryear, an eighteen year old fresh- man, drives thirty-four miles round trip from Rolesville each day to attend classes at Louis- burg. She lives at home with her parents. In addition to taking classes, Carla works as a secretary for the Photography Depart- ment, where she has plenty of chances to brush up her secretarial skills. But that ' s not all. Carla says she never knows when it might be just as important to go to the snack bar and grab a sandwich for Mrs. McCredie when she ' s pushing a dead- line as it is to type a stencil. Carla says she chose Louisburg because of its high academic standards and the small community atmosphere. She also stressed that teachers here have more time for their students. According to Carla, there are certain ad- vantages and disadvantages in living off cam- pus. The most important advantage is that she can study in a quieter atmosphere where she doesn ' t have interruptions. On e of the disadvantages in off-campus living is that you don ' t get as close to people as you would if you lived on campus, from Carla ' s point of view. Also, Carla occasionally has to miss class because of road conditions. At home, Carla likes to go bike riding, do cross-stitch, cook, and now and then write The lives of Chris and Marbeth revolves around th( apple of their eyes, Melissa.

Anne has taken 6 to 9 hours per semester while working full-time as an administrator at Louisburg Nursing Home in order to upgrade her professional credentials toward becom- ing a fully-licensed administrator by the state of North Carolina. As of this interview, Anne is busy taking final correspondence course exams and her state examinations. Now that she is near her goal, she has the satisfaction of knowing there will be more options for her professionally. Anne ' s children are well-beyond college age. Her daughter, Anne Lloyd Summerlin of Washington, N.C., and her son, Dee Hutchin- son of Greensboro, have been fully support- ive of her educational goals. When the going has been tough, they both have urged her to hang in there. Dee is a ranger with the National Park Service and Anne Lloyd is soon to make Anne Hutchinson a grandmother. At least I ' ll have a little more time to be a good grandmother now, mused Anne. When asked what she liked to do during her spare time, Anne replied emphatically, Sleep! Her job is very demanding, and with school work to keep abreast of, she has had little time for other interests. Despite all that, Anne says it ' s been well worth it. In fact, she would like to find a way to continue with academic courses. According to Anne, Louisburg College has been the best part of these five years. This is what 1 have looked forward to. The day 1 took my last exam, 1 commented to Dean Morgan that I felt like crying because it was over. Anne loved the congeniality of the stu- dents and the staff here, as well as the enthu- siastic atmosphere. Feeling out of place never occurred to her. She recalled one humorous episode in pot- tery class when she was working at a wheel next to a young man in the class. Without looking up, the young man asked if she was going to the keg party. She knew then that she was part of the crowd. Her hobbies, neglected as they have been, include needlework, music, photography, and the N.C. Shell Club. Her favorite place to escape and breathe easily is the Outer Banks, which Anne says is the closest place to heaven 1 can imagine. Just the mention of Ocracoke is enough to bring a smile to her face. We wish her well. Evelyn Nelms Goswick has something that not many students have and yet what many students already have. She has a husband and four kids as well as a desire to get a college degree, starting here at Louisburg and finishing at North Carolina State Univer- sity. Evelyn lives three miles outside of Louis- burg. Each day those three miles get a little shorter, as Evelyn ' s drive brings her closer and closer to earning her Master ' s Degree in history. After that, Evelyn wants to teach at either the high school or the junior college level. Working in the darkroom was one of Anne Hutchinson ' s favorite reprieves. She got hooked on photography when she took Mr. Farmer ' s course and hasn ' t yet recov- ered. Pushing from class to kitchen, Evelyn Goswick does an- other kind of homework. ¥i 12 At home, Evelyn spends time with her four children, ranging from three to nine years of age. Kenny, her husband, works as a dis- patcher at Seaboard Coastline. Evelyn ' s chil- dren have an understanding with their moth- er. They go to bed at eight o ' clock so she can study. After spending nine years out of high school, Evelyn knew that Louisburg could give her a sense of direction, and she seems well on her way.

He and his wife Veronica came to Louisburg so that Marcelo could improve his English and take some general college requirements. Although Marcelo is older than most of the students here, twenty-five to be exact, he says that he has made a good many friends. Marcelo and Veronica live just three blocks from campus. With the close proxim- ity to the campus, Marcelo has only a short walk to class and to work at the cafeteria. It ' s pretty good he says, but I ' ve eaten better. Working in the cafeteria is not the best job in the world, but 1 am on campus and it ' s near home. Marcelo has two major interests that occu- pies most of his spare time. His first major interest is photography. I like to see what 1 have taken and watch it appear when 1 devel- op it. Marcela, who is Marcelo ' s daughter, is his second interest. Marcela, who is just a little over a year old, shows definite signs of being spoiled by Daddy. Marcelo says it ' s hard going to school and taking care of a family, but it is well worth the trouble. Marcelo ' s major in education is the field of Visual Communications. So in the spring, Marcelo and family will be leaving for Ari- zona to attend the University of Arizona. 1 am interested in working with television visual data, says Marcelo with a spark in his eye. But the spark dimmed somewhat when he knew that it meant leaving Louisburg. Both Marcelo and Veronica feel a loss in leaving Louisburg. They say that the people really make you feel at home and that they will miss Louisburg as their home away from home in Argentina. I am interested in working with television visual data. My interests also branch out into photography and my daughter. Marcela After studying British English since the third grade, Jaana Lumme has found English in the South extremely different. She is a Rotary Club exchange student and found out about Louisburg through the Louisburg Ro- tary Club. As an exchange student from Finland, Jaana has found that she likes the United States and is glad she came. She wanted to be an exchange student so she could improve her English, meet new friends with different customs, and see this part of the hemisphere. Jaana was very impressed with the Ameri- can college system and its friendly students. She liked the greater choices of subjects of- fered which differed from the education she received in Finland. Jaana is enjoying her stay in America and advised, If an opportu- nity to travel arises, please take it. After this year, Jaana is looking forward to returning to her native home of Helsinki, Fin- land so she can see her family, friends, and her dog. Although the golden arches of McDonalds and the lovable Roadrunner of Hard ec .nigiit not be able to fit into her suit- case to go back home, fond memories of these and more will be carried home for oth- ers to enjoy. 1 wanted to be an exchange student so 1 could improvi my English, meet new friends with new customs, and se( this part of the hemisphere. 14 tmblelon is n«xt on my list after Loulsburg I will be tent if I don ' t get a chance to go to Wimbleion be ae I have played some strong competition here America and Japan are brothers In the world — Nubuo Kitayama. After three years In a completely different culture from his own native Japan, Nobuo Kitayama has found the United States very intriguing. It was his great interest in the American culture that brought him here and his interest of studying Prcmedicine at Duke University. Fate must have had golden opportunities waiting for Louisburg and Nubuo to come together. With seven years of study and ex- perience with English, the language barrier was no obstacle to making many friends and discovering America and Louisburg and dif- ferent lifestyles and customs. As a very competitive tennis player, Nu- buo won the fall tennis intramural champion- ship. In the spring, Nobuo will once again hit the tennis courts as a member of the tennis team. If he ' s not found on the tennis courts, he may be found skiing down the slopes. swimming a few strokes, or studying for his next exam. Nubuo always finds time for ex- tracurricula activities with his new found American Friends. mencan college students are much more kind, open- themselves to others It surprises me that Americans so much junk food. Last but not least among our foreign stu- dents of 1981-82 is Per Nillson of Sweden. Per is a sophomore from Sweden who came to the U.S. to learn English and seek out job experiences which would improve his job op- portunities in the future, although he isn ' t certain as to his career goals. When asked why Louisburg, Per said that a counselor for N.C. State told him of Louis- burg, saying the size and atmosphere would help him to learn English and experience American culture before entering a larger institution such as Duke or Carolina. Per says that American college students were much more kind, opening themselves to others. Another thing that he says surprised him was that we Americans eat so much junk food. When asked about differences or similari- ties between Lou-U and colleges in Sweden, Per said that Swedish students were much more serious and mature than students here. and that classes here were often harder. The thing that Per says has impressed him is that the professors, as well as the adminis- trators, seem so willing to help and listen to students ' problems. Per thinks that his experiences and educa- tion in the U.S. will help him to find a good job and to deal with people he meets on a daily basis. He feels it has also given him a more unbiased view of the United States. When asked what parting words Per would like to leave to Lou-U students, he said, Well, if you are ever in Sweden, look me up. 15 Off Campus Getting Away There ' s a need within to escape people, places, subjects that seduce me to depression. The jam in my soul has a confounding strength that no one can settle down. Allow me to borrow some of your time, to acknowledge my plight to rejoice. Allow me to see the picturesque moment when I reach my tipiest grounds. The N.C, State Fair provides fun and excitement for all, including Lou-U students. Flocking by the hundreds, many choose to attend the state ' s largest festival. 16 On Campus — Part(y) Time If life is cheap, then Kenan Dorm made some cents out of that meaning. Not once, but twice they put it to good use. In the Multi- purpose room on September 30, 1981, pan- demonium was gearing up for an exciting evening with a room full of wolf-calling fe- males. What was all the excitement about? Kenan was holding a Slave Auction selling male property to some aggressive and competitive women for the following visitation night. Such property as Jimmy Masters, Willie Carter, Thomas Sweetwater Rawley and Kemp Pendergrass were sold. Buster Sanderford presided as auctioneer, padding both the bid and the jokes. The highlight of the night was when Thom- as Rawley taunted the girls by offering to remove his shirt in order to raise his bid. He only managed, however, to raise the bid five dollars and the roof of the Multi-Purpose room by several feet. If one bought a slave, what could be done with a slave? The rules were announced and posted before the auction began. Slaves and buyers were not allowed to violate the college handbook. Leaving the campus with the slave was optional. Slaves could not incur the debt of the buyer and the buyer could not ask them to violate their morals, principals or ethics. Since the girls sold the guys, it was only fair to return the favor. The following week of November 5th the guys got their just re- venge. Not only were the guys as aggressive and competitive as the girls, but some brought their checkbooks padded with new deposits made earlier that day. The response Screaming at the top of her lungs, Brenda Hughes gets her bid for her choice of a slave. Trisha Hoag and Cathy Boehm wait for a chance. and pandemonium matched, if not exceeded the previous auction. The selection varied like candy on a rack. Martha Vinson, Kim Bolton, Sonia Galloway, and Susan Jackson were a sample of things sweet to come. The bidding got exciting when Kim Bolton was on the block. The bidding swayed back and forth as Kevin Elliot and Charles Layno topped each other until Charles conceded and Kevin took Kim for an astonishing sixty dollars. This goes to prove that infatuation does carry a price. If you ever find yourself low in cash or you don ' t even have a dime to drop in the bucket and you need a quick buck, hold an auction and sell your friends. It can be a very valu- able experience!

For a week, the campus had been spruced up. Faculty members had made time in their busy schedules to straighten up their offices and student ' s rooms were prob- ably as clean as they had been all year. If the chilly weather wasn ' t hospitable, everything else was. Parents arrived to hot coffee, juice and pasteries waiting in the li- brary. Somehow, we students looked better than usual. After all, parents are people to dress up for, at least on Parents Day. Faculty and administrators were on hand to speak with parents while students assisted our guests in registering and donning name tags. Just to make sure that our parents knew how important they are, they were greeted by four different people at the Parents Day program, starting with President Norris. Next came class presidents Mike Russell and Dave Stinchfield, and concluding was Mr. Don Fish who has a daughter enrolled at Louisburg. Miss Sarah Foster, Director of the Louis- burg College Ensemble, is not only talented but smart. She chose two selections for our parents. The first was a spiritual called Somebody Touched Me and the second was entitled On A Wonderful Day Like To- day. Nothing like three part harmony to try and start this day in the proper spirit. Then it was Dean Brown ' s turn. As Aca- demic Dean, he has the dubious privilege of reviewing student ' s academic progress with the parents. Seventy-one students had earned all A ' s and B ' s at midterm. Great! A large number of D ' s and F ' s were earned at midterm. Not so great. But Dean Brown has a way of bringing chuckles to the grimmer aspects of life. He shared with the parents some favorite stu- dent excuses for low grades. But Dad, those really aren ' t F ' s, they ' re almost D ' s and with any luck they can be C ' s! One enterprising student was trying to re- lieve his parents ' displeasure at discovering him at the bottom of the class. He assured them, They teach the same things at both ends. Joseph C. Farmer, Professor of Religion, Philosophy and Photography, spoke on the behalf of the faculty. He reminded parents that faculty members are not so different from students. We are fellow travelers on a journey whose destination is only vaguely un- derstood. Faculty members do not teach t what of anything except as a touch stc to the more important question of why. Faculty members do not teach the whi of anything except as a touch stone to i more important question of why. Dr. Norris concluded the program by forming parents that Ralph Ihrie ' s art was; display in the Fine Arts Center, that thi would be a dress rehersal of Dracula in | theater, and that there would be a scrimma basketball game in the gym during the aft noon. No doubt some of us were hoping c parent ' s would take in these activities in li! of talking to our professors. By-in-large, parents kept the faculty vi busy Saturday afternoon. This was thi chance to talk on a one-to-one basis with t people who are charged with educating th sons and daughters. Faculty members explained their st! dards and requirements to parents. More i portantly, they helped parents put their soi and daughter ' s academic progress in p( spective. Parents left with insights, and we hope w more empathy for the challenges and stress that students face in learning. And in beco ing adults at Louisburg College, 1981-82.

The annual Hallow- een dance was again under way with stu- dents eager to join in the festivity. Music, laughter, and the buzzing of conver- sation filled the Multi-Purpose room, only to spill out into the halls of the student center and into the cool October air. Gypsies, pi- rates, ghouls, superheros, and ordinary stu- dents mingled through out the night to cele- brate the spirit of Halloween. Earlier in the cafeteria, a costume contest was held at dinner to separate the ghouls from the guys. Contestants such as Capt, Kenan and the Cosmic Crusader, Pirates from the Bahamas, Giant Cats, Ballerinas, and Student Twins from the University of Urana, not to mention the Devil himself, vied for the $100 prize. Winners were announced at the dance by Ed Moolenaar. First prize went to the Uranus Twins, Bobby Talbert and Paul Hamilton. Second went to Greg (The Devil) Morris, and third to the two campus heros, Capt, Kenan and the Cosmic Crusader, alias Chuck Sat- terwhite and Mark Gaither. Music, Laughter, and ghoulish gaiety pre- vailed until the Witching Hour of twelve. Then, as silently as they had arose for the occasion, all the demons and monsters of the mind returned to their lairs to wit for the next year. Halloween. Right here at Louisburg, 1981.

The dance floor was empty for the first few minutes and the students seemed shy to get onto the floor, but the beat of the music entic- ingly lured many of them from their seats. Good-bye to the shyness and coy pre- tense; Hello to the bright lights and thump- ing beat, students seemed to be saying. And on the floor they stayed until it was time to retire. Tired feet were the loudest to complain while the rest of the body never felt better. As for the taste of defeat by Ferrum, it never tasted sweeter than as the desert of the Homecoming festivities.

Each act was a winner, making it hard for the judges to make the decisions as to who got the prizes. At the end of the show, everyone held their breath in anticipation of the judges ' picks.

Spring Fling comes at a time when there is a need to direct some of our energies that have long since been stored for the winter and to release them for sanity ' s sake. To help spice up our Spring Spice of Life who put meaning in the word, Party! The May Court beheld some of the lovelist ladies and stateliest gentlemen, but there was no king and queen to preside over the Court. All qualms were put aside as Linwood Monta- que and Mary Shields ascended to the throne of the May Court. Stepping down from last year ' s reign was Bill Norris and Susan Baton. After the brief coronation, everyone joined in for the last dance of the year. Till next year. By Royal Order and Decree of King Linwood of Montaque and Queen Mary of Shields, all subjects are to await next year ' s coronation and celebration. After waiting in suspence for the big moment, a sfiocked Mary Sfiieids needed a friendly fiug to confirm the reality of being May Court Queen. From plain paupers to instant royalty, the ingredients that Lynwood Montaque and Mary Shields have are no j doubt the right combination.

Ed. Classes Part of being on the ball is keeping the ball. A Hard Act To Follow I already knew that our Lady Canes had lost the National Championship in the Nation- al Junior College Athletic Association ' s wom- en ' s division by a sad 1 point. Final score, 72- 73 with the title going to Moberly which had lost to Louisburg 66-63 in last season ' s finals. I had mixed feelings as I drove to the airport to photograph their return to North Carolina. Could there be any jubilation at all in being 2 in the nation? When the first two girls truggcd through the door of gate A4 of Raleigh-Durham air- port, I knew these pictures were not going to be easy to take. They were the last group off of the Delta flight from Atlanta. 1 suppose they knew someone would be waiting. Ray Mize and Sidney Stafford had driven the van from Louisburg to help get their mountains of luggage home. ! was close to the gate with my camera; Mize and Stafford stood at a dis- tance behind me managing smiles as best they could. It was painful. The girls were quiet and obviously exhausted. They had given it their all and had come so very close to bringing home another national championship. Smiles were hard to come by, and when they did come, they came with great effort. Powering in for the rebound, Regina Miller and Clara Faison key in for a chance to score against Moberly from Overland Park, Kansas. Getting Tougher is the plan outlined on Buster Sanderford ' s face as tension mounts and time elapses. Concentration never takes a break in a must-win game. 40 One team member did manage to say, North Carolina never looked so good. Robin Graves responded to my hug and asked if we had missed her in class. Of course. 1 responded, we were rooting for you. 1 tried to be as unobtrusive as possible tak- ing the pictures, which is difficult enough when carting around fifty pounds of camera equipment and shooting with a flash. As 1 snapped while they waited for their luggage, the pain and disappointment was all too ap- parent 1 put on a longer lens and backed off It ' s hard to intrude on people ' s pain They pretty much ignored me Sever. i: • the girls had on Lady Canes jackets with Na- tional Champions printed on the back. They wore them as if they weighted heavily on their hearts. I hope that a good homecoming was in store when they reached Louisburg. It was a hard act to follow. Our Canes gave It the best they had. That ' s all anyone could ever ask for. The next day the News and Observer in Raleigh ran this headline in their sports cov- erages: Louisburg loses by 1 in JC Women ' s Cont. — It was the Glad to be Home shuffle as Buster Sanderford, Clara Falson, and Austin Asycue laughed In RDU Airport.

From Overland Park, Kansas the stat- istics were out. Louisburg had outscored Mo- berly ' s girls froin the field, making 34 field goals to Moberly ' s 28. But the Lady Canes had only several opportunities from the foul line, making four. Mobcrly had hit 17 or 28 fries from the line. At halftime, Moberly led 35-32 and led by as many as six points in the second half. With 36 seconds remaining, Louisburg charged back within two, 70-68 with a tip-in by Gladys Best. Moberly stretched their lead to three with only six seconds left. Regina Miller scored an uncontested bas- ket at the buzzer to pull the Lady Canes within one point. Gladys Best led all scorers with 24 points. Along with Moberly ' s Jackie Glasson and Kathy Schulz, Louisburg ' s Glad- ys Best and Regina Miller were named to the all-tournament team. Not bad. Canes. It was indeed a hard act to follow. But when you realize that the 1981-82 sea- son began with only one returning starter from last year ' s national championship team, a 33-2 record is something to crow about. A Hard Act To Follow 43 Men ' s Basket- Bali Coach Drake felt a little guarded about his ' 81- ' 82 season due to a large roster of freshman and no full time starters back. Although the freshmen didn ' t come along as fast as he had hoped they would, they did gain some valuable experience. Even though the men ' s inside play was weak and the shooting percentage wasn ' t quite as high as Coach Drake had wanted, the hard work and good defensive play kept Louisburg respectable among conference foes. 44 Determination soars with Henry Harris as he drives in (or a lay-up against a Carolina Junior Varsity defender. Marcus Keith meanwhile sets up for a possible rebound if needed. A hard drive for the inside track leads Brian Pendergraft and a Ferrum College opponent down court while Coach Drake ponder his strategy.

He wasn ' t quite sure what to expect from his primarily freshman team. The loss of Everett Gra- ham in the middle of the year greatly hin- dered the team. After some changes in the last few weeks of the season, the team seemed to play to its full potential. This baseball season, the club won the Eastern Tarhell Conference Championship for the 13th time in the past fifteen years, leading the way to the regional play-offs in Senatoba, Miss, to determine the Eastern representative in the Nationals (NCJAA) in Colorado. But we lost in the early rounds. Frazicr ' s honors have almost surpassed his victories. Named Conference, District, and Region X Coach of the Year ten, five. and five times, this year he was co-winner of the 1982 Will Waynne Award. This award is given annually to the N.C. native contributing the most to baseball during the year. After twenty-two years at Louisburg College, Coach Russell Frazier is still a very big hit.

They spend three to four nights diligently practicing, devoting two or more long, hard hours of work. Often they spend countless minutes discussing a particular move or stand that will better enhance their performance. These mini- conferences often spill into their time that I might have been spent on homework or other plans. It is the constant desire to do their best and heighten the school spirit that drives them on. The Cheerleading Squad consisted of te females with two alternates. It was during second semester that five males volunteered their time and effort to the Squad. With the new addition and look on the Cheerleading, Louisburg College has certainly got something to cheer about!

The program allowed all interested students to compete against each other in softball, foot- ball and basketball as well as a host of other individual contests. Softball was well-supported and produced some very competitive teams in the fall. The Kenan Keg Killers, led by Jimmy Masters, were the strongest team in the program. Kenan won the fall tourney against Franklin in an exciting last inning charge. Behind by 4 runs, Kenan salvaged a 16-15 win. Football produced many competitors as well as broken bones and twisted ankles. The baseball players tried their hand at a differ- ent style of ball and were almost successful in their pursuit of the football championship. Hillman Dorm produced both teams for the championship playoff, with Hillman 2 playing a tough underground team to win by a score of 56-64. Later in the Intramural season, students moved inside to hoop a little. Again Hillman was heard from. 1st floor played against Main 3 4 for the championship. Main 3 4 prevailed. Led by Doc Bynum and Gary Worley Bird, they defeated Hillman 1 by 114-89. Although there were some losers, every- one had fun venting their talents. The Intra- mural Program allowed for new friendships and a closer student body.

Adjourned. S.G.A. The Student Government Association is the strongest student organization on campus. Dur- ing the 1981-82 school year, there were 65 ac- tive student leaders participating in S.G.A. Among the committee leaders were Lisa Dis- tasio (Entertainment), Greg Morris (Publicity), Robert Campen (Film Director), Mac McClure (Food and Cafeteria) and Phil Craft (Elections). The primary body of the Student Govern- ment Association is the Student Senate. This body contains all of the legislative power invest- ed in the S.G.A. The Senate has the authority to propose changes in all rules, regulations and laws which govern student life. Under the leadership of President Skip Smith, the S.G.A. has been very active this year. Back- ing him up were Vice-President Jeff Ingle who presided over the Senate, Secretary Joy Harri- son and Treasurer Bill Austin. This year the S.G.A. helped the Christian Life Council give their annual Christmas Party for the Kids, helped sponsor the Hurricane mascot contest, and donated to the Third Century Cam- paign toward the construction of the new class- room building. i Climbing high, these student leaders took part in a problem-solving game during a Leadership Training Conference prior to the beginning of the school year. The Conference, organized by Dean Morgan, was held at Camp Chestnut Ridge. 68 B«ing iworn In al the opening Senate meeting by Dean Eller i Bill Austin — Treaturer.

Senators decided to dress more formally for S.G.A. meetings this year Bobby Alford is a picture of adult responsibility. Reviewing her notes, Lisa Distasio prepares a report from the Entertainment Committee for the Senate. Each S.G.A. member worked hard this year. Their effort and dedication was evident in each event the S.G.A. sponsored. Thanks to their work, the Freshman Mixer, the Spring Fling, Winter Weekend, the Mr. Fin- ger ' s Show and the Talent Show (a sellout) and other events such as coffee houses and movies were successful. S.G.A. involvement gives students a chance to add quality not only to other stu- dents ' lives, but to their own. Each partici- pant has a chance to grow emotionally and socially while developing leadership. Working with the S.G.A. is a great way to learn how Louisburg functions. It is also an avenue for learning about your own capabili- ties and limitations. And it is rewarding. Hat ' s off to the 1981-82 S.G.A. for a fine year.

Time to atone for too much partying and those days when there were other things more inviting that keeping abreast of your class work. Time to burn the midnight oil.

These birds are members of Dr. Patricia Palmer ' s biology class. Each semes- ter these birds study Darwin ' s theories using colored toothpicks representing four different species of worms. The toothpicks are inserted into a small area of grass and the birds gather around this plot using their sharp vision to locate the worms. Using the hands to search is forbidden. The experiment, which last for 30 sec- onds, demonstrates the advantage that some species have over others. Toothpicks (worms) which are red or yellow tend to be more visible in the green grass than do the blue or green ones. Dr. Palmer explains that having the se- lective disadvantage of being seen can lead to a depopulation or possible extinction of a species. By virtue of blending with the envi- ronment, some species will survive in the on-going process of evolution.

Theme Variations A visit to the Shearon-Harris Nuclear Plant, just south of Raleigh, was Janet Hat- ley ' s way of acquainting her class with the realities of nuclear power production. Her students were full of questions for guide Jay Mullin regarding the safety of nu- clear power, the dangers of terrorism, and the possible effects on the environment. Their visit left much to ponder regarding the benefits vs. the costs and the potential dangers of nuclear power. iiiiclcai- plant eoiilrol room shiiiilalor The dome covers the core area of a nude reactor at Shearon-Harris.

Covering everything from writers ' block to meeting deadlines, Beverly stressed the im- portance of iniative and hard work. It ' s a very competitive world, she re- minded the students. Only those people who are really good at what they do and willing to work are going to get the rewarding jobs in their chosen field. R.T. Smith, our poet-in-residence for 1981-82, gave insights into the creative mind in a series of lectures and seminars. His third book of poems, Rural Route, attempts to capture the vanishing values, tra- ditions and attitudes which once made the South a unique region. Smith explained artistic images can pre- serve the essence of an experience even after it has ceased to be.

Some twenty-five awards were handed out on April 27, 1982 in every field from art athletics. The best thing about Awards is knowing that many of us have done something very, very well. The plaques and certificates may be misplaced in the coming years, but that special pride of having been best will remain in the heart as a treasured inspiration for years to come.

Din- ner dresses and suits replace casual dress and broad smiles are as decorative as the flowers on the tables. Members of the class of 1932 joined the 1982 graduates as honored guests this year. Several of them shared their Louisburg memories with the current class, giving them fresh insights into the memories they would soon be carrying away. Presiding over graduation activities is Dr. C.

The moment has arrived and once more you prepare to walk across the stage to transgress into another play of life. As you stand waiting for your name, your heart pounds with nervous anticipation. Re- flecting for a brief second, your first day of college seems just like yesterday. Then you start to think of the hustle and bustle of hundreds trying to get the same thing accomplished by moving in, meeting your roommate, and getting to know your environment. The long lines at the bookstore and cafeteria did seem to be fun even though you had to wait awhile. You remember the constant room additions of aluminum contain- ers that were added along with the ones that were being discarded. Those unending miles you walked to and from the classroom, the library, the cafeteria, your friend ' s room and elsewhere, the walk seemed worth it. Then you also recall the nights that you stayed up late studying for the big one while Looking sharp, Brian Pendergraft gets his hat adjusted by Patty Schaefer as Thomas Rawley looks on.

The hard fought intramural games left you tired and dirty, but that was what it was all about. The countless times after eating you checked the mailbox only to see that the vacuum in- side had not changed. If there was something, you were glad someone remembered that you were still alive. Even the last days of exams seem to drag along while everyone was coming and going. And it was just yester- day you cleaned the room up for the final time and it looked just like it did when you first arrived. You felt you had almost stepped back in time for a split second. The Grand Finale presents itself once again but this time you are in it. The final scene of graduation plays itself through, pre- paring you for the oncoming role after Louis- burg College.

Wright Professor of English 137 Guiding Spirits President J. Allen Norris ' Anything that is owned or used must have maintenance in order to be productive and lasting. If care and service are not provided, then the value and quality are greatly dimin- ished. To President Norris, Louisburg Col- lege is a two year bridge between high school and the rigors of life, and it is the care and service which he provides that makes the College productive and lasting. On the 1981-82 school year: This year the college has seen a new direction with the success of the Third Century Campaign and the beginning of construction of the new classroom building. It seems to me that the students have been more involved in campus activities, particularly the Student Govern- ment Association and the Christian Life Council. 1 have noticed a strengthening of dormitory programs, in which students have become more identifiable with their dorms, and this creates a better living environment. Aside from academic pursuits, this has been Greeting members of the class of 1932 at his home. Dr. Norris preserves the tradition of warm hospitality for the Louisburg College Family. the college ' s strongest year in terms of stu- dent involvement. On the importance of the Presidency: The best role that 1 can create as President is one that encourages an atmosphere where all of us are striving for what the institution is all about. We are all here first and foremost for the student, and if we ever lose sight of that, we ought to go out of business. I like to see my role with the facul- ty and staff as being one that encourages relating to the student on a one-to-one basis as much as possible. I want the student to see me as someone who really cares about them and who is interested in what they do on campus. On what students should gain from their Louisburg College experience: Hopefully they should carry away from here an in crease in knowledge, a strengthened sys tern of values, and a real caring for one another. This should serve them well in where they go and what they do. I see this as a time when the student becomes more responsible and independent. On the students: 1 have talked to stu- dents of previous years who said they wished Louisburg College could be a four year college. This expression of care has really pleased me. Most of the students liked their experience here and believed that the college served them well. It ' s that vote of confidence that makes the faculty and staff want to do more. 138 I ' Dean C. Edward Brown ' I think the key element of this job is people interactions. Without them, it would be just another job, says Dean Brown, wearing a hat of warm sincerity. As Aca- demic Dean. Dean Brown is the wearer of many hats at Louisburg College. Each hat relates to a different job with a wide brim of responsibility. Students rarely see his whole collection of hats; to them, his most visible role is as the monitor of academic grades and standards. As the second level administrator of the college. Dean Brown is head of the faculty. He supervises the curriculum of courses, which includes adding new ones and updat- ing old ones as the need arises. One of his favorite duties is seeing that students are provided with academic coun- seling and writing letters of recommenda- tion. None of his hats ever collect dust from sitting idle. Just the wear of enthusiasm keep them dustless and colorful. Students tend to get a picture of the Aca- demic Dean as a person huddled with a magnifying glass scrutinizing student ' s grades for a conference. This is not the com- plete picture. Dean Brown relates that he enjoys work- ing with people, faculty and students alike. Of course there is a lot of paper shuffling, but what makes my job interesting is listen- ing to people and trying to help them with their problems. No two people ever walk through my door with the same problem and that ' s what makes my job such a chal- lenge. Whatever hat Dean Brown wears, whether it is the hat of responsibility, the hat of educa- tion, or the hat of sensitivity and understand ing. he need not tip his hat. Acquainting parents with the academic realities o( college life during Parents Day is one of the many responsibilities of the Academic Dean. 139 Support Staff Student Deans J. Craig Eller, Dean of Students Challenging, constantly changing, not boring with something happening every min- ute, is how Craig Eller, Dean of Students, describes his job. Eller says that he likes his job because it gives him the opportunity to work with stu- dents in areas that arc important to them in this part of their lives. When 1 think I ' ve heard it all, something new comes up. Dean Eller ' s work requires that he stay flexible and that he attempts to eliminate as much red tape as possible. His office takes care of almost everything except academics. Eller states that, Students are interesting and constantly active; you never can figure them out. It takes continual thought and con- sideration to stay caught up with them, and it ' s nice to be one half step ahead. Indeed, student life has become a specialty and a perpetual fascination for Dean Eller. 140 Patricia Morgan, Associate Dean of Students My office handles everything from crisis counseling to the organization of a project that is acceptable to everyone, replied a radiant Pat Morgan, Associate Dean of Stu- dents. 1 act as a liason between the students and the administration. This is the essence of my job in conjunction with making good student leaders, helping to resolve problems, and helping students face and accept some of reality ' s hardships. If anyone knows about small colleges and what is special about them, it is Dean Mor- gan. Having attended Mars Hill, her first im- pression of Louisburg brought back fond memories. Reflecting on this, she stated that, A large school does present a challenge, but nothing compared to the challenges and op- portunities that a small school atmosphere has to offer. Dean Morgan is ready to see that our stu- dents have a good take-off and smooth land- ing during th eir stay at Louisburg.

Franklin County Beauty Pageant Franklin County loves beauty, especially with so many pretty girls to choose from. On February 27th in the Louisburg College Audi- torium, a host of lovely young women won- dered who the judges would decide was the fairest of them all. It wasn ' t an easy decision, but it went in favor of Sonia Galloway. The night marked the beginning of her reign as Miss Franklin and a bid at the crown of Miss North Caroli- na. Sonia delighted the audience with a song from the hit movie The Wiz called Home. Sonia is the 18 year old daughter of Ralph and Mary Galloway of Durham. She was sponsored by Patten Dorm. The first runner-up spot was captured by Tammie Fish, daughter of Mr. Don Fish and Mrs. Thelma McCambell of Durham.

On Friday, March 26 and Saturday, March 27, they filled the College Auditorium with the sounds of some of the best folk music and dance on the Eastern Seaboard. With emphasis on pure, traditional, old timey, and classical bluegrass mu- sic, the twelfth annual Festival included a host of dancing groups who did everything from square dancing and clogging to some very fancy solo routines. Among the guests were Riders in the Sky, a group of Nashville musicians who revitalized western cowboy songs in three and four part harmony. They were led by guitarist Dog Green who has performed with Loggins and Messina. Other guests included the Apple Chill doggers, Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys, Byard Ray and his Traditional String Band, and the Foster Family String Band. The Festival, founded by Allen de Hart in 1970, Is financed by the Franklin County Arts Council. Five hundred dollars in cash awards and trophies were handed out to the winners. Mr. De Hart was assisted in putting on the Festival by a volunteer committee of 65 peo- ple, including students and staff members. Everyone had a knee-slapping, foot-stomp- ing grand old time. Presenting trophies and prizes to the winners is one of Allen de Hart ' s delights. No matter how late it is when the last act is finally over, the awarding of prizes crowns the show. 150 ;; u.ii 19 not as close as you can gel to the dellghlfulness ol I young folks got In on the act loo.

At one time, what was to become Louisburg College was Franklin Academy. The two story frame building which still stands on east campus opened its door to students in 1805 under the direction of Mat- thew Dickinson. By 1961, the school has evolved into Louisburg College and the Auditorium Classroom was purchased to accommodate a growing student body. The A C building has served its purpose but is getting very old. It ' s time has come to be replaced with a modern classroom build- ing better suited to the needs of today ' s stu- dents and professors. That ' s what the floor plans surrounding the cover are all about. Dr. Norris, the trustees and staff have worked very hard to make the Third Century Campaign a success so that the new building could become a reality. Thanks to the gener- osity of our patrons and their faith in the future of the institution, the new building will be filled with young people learning in the Louisburg tradition in the not-so-distant fu- ture. It was very chilly on February 25, but it was bright and sunny as the ground breaking ceremony got under way. Calling the ceremony to order, Dr. Norris remarked that, We have reached a high day in the life of Louisburg College. The new classroom building will be named in honor of E. Hoover Taft, Jr., out-going Chairman of the Board of Tr ustees. Mr. Taft was the first to break ground, followed by Ben E. Jorden, Chairman Elect of the Board of Trustees. The new building will house 26 classrooms, 31 offices and four conference rooms.
