Some of Us Don ' t ' Between Two Worlds Anne Hutchinson completed her work at Louisburg in the fall of 1976. 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. Smiling comes easy for Anne Hutchinson as she takes a break In her studies tor our p lotographer Her den study provides a quiet spot for mental exercise. Take one helpful husband, four kids who bed down at 8:00 P.M.. and you get a smiling Evelyn Goswick. 13
