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

Some of Us Are Far From Home A Different Perspective Louisburg is a long way from home for Marcelo Del Rio, who hails from Argentina. 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
