. 1984 Louisburg College Louisburg. N.C. 27549 Volume 62 NG UP 1984-85 At Louisburg We ' re Shaping Up, 1 984-85 Americans have become obs- sessed with shaping up, and the trend continues at Louisburg Col- lege. Not only are we more aware of toning up muscles and increasing physical endurance, we ' re shaping up in other ways. In-coming freshmen soon learn that they need to shape-up their study skills to meet the demands of college work. And students shape up their social skills by getting involved in a wide array of campus involvements. Look around campus most any day and you ' ll see maintenance personnel working to keep our cam- pus attractive. And the Third Century Campaign continues to be successful in gener- ating funds for a new auditorium complex to be constructed on the site of the old AC building. At Louisburg, students have a chance to grow, discover new tal- ents, develop new skills and to shape themselves up for the future. Join us for a journey through 1984- 85 as we shape up at Louisburg. An artist rendering of the projected auditorium complex leaves us eager for the new addition to our campus. TCKluX THEATEK.

This group included the Resident Directors, the Head Student Resi- dents, the Resident Assistants and SGA members On August 15. we set out for a five day leadership seminar at Kerr Lake The trip was progressing smoothly until the bus broke down and a local farmer had to give the group a ride to the lake in his hay truck! Once we had arrived all in one piece, the business of planning and programming for the year began Everyone was informed of their re- sponsibilities for the year and was given general informaion to help the year run smoothly All in all. it was a good week, if a bit hot and muggy at times. The group of student leaders arrived back on campus ready and eager to start a new year. Having the bus break down on the way to Kerr Lake didn ' t get the resident staff members down They al brought cool drinks and enjoyed the scenic atmosphere of the 39 Pit Stop 9 Leodership Conference The Shape Of Dorm Activities This year the students at Louisburg College got involved in a great number of activities sponsored by their respective dorms. Once a month, each dorm on Campus was to provide a program designed to enlighten students on subjects rang- ing from rape prevention and birth control to a Hawaiian Luau. Some dorms offered popcorn and Coke during exam weeks while others showed movies in their lobbies on the weekends. The highlights fea- tured were the tea given for the faculty by Merritt. the drunk driving seminar with guest Steve Streater given by Wright, and the social event of the year, the Christmas Snowflake Ball, sponsored by all women ' s dorms.

This year, there was a variety of couples on the stage including the girl in charge, Cathy Spears, with her partner Jennifer Cooper. The high- est bid went to Mike Tally for $20 with the most entertainment pro- vided by Byrd Wilkins and Wood Patterson.

We didn ' t want to include anything potentially unpleasant. What you do see are parents be- ing welcomed and enjoying a nice morning on Parents Day. Some of us even helped our folks get registered and shared a pleasant meal with them prior to the. uh, conferences. Traditionally, there was the Par- ents Day program featuring wel- comes by Robert Armistead and Taking in the sun and a good view of campus, parents gathered on the porch ot the library to await the Parents Day program. Martin Thorne. Dean Brown and Dr. Michael Palmer spoke on behalf of the administration and the faculty. Parents were reminded that an art exhibit on The History of Televi- sion was showing at the Fine Arts Center. There was also a mens ' in- trasquad basketball game at the gym. Some of us tried to push these events over parent-teacher confer- ences. Most of us didn ' t succeed. We tried, we really did.

All manner of ceramic winged creatures, large and small, serious and whimsical, filled the air, sus- pended by (almost) invisible wires. My. Hinton ' s art students had done it again. There are always sur- prises in store. I also loved the wire sculptures, which, along with the cylindrical fig- ures, proved there are many ap- proaches to the human form. Hinton ' s students are easily spot- ted around campus, sketch pads in hand, dreaming up their next vision. And with William Hinton guiding them on, we can count on being delighted with their results.

Members of the student body and the faculty and staff competed for cash prizes and generally enjoyed a night of fun. Byrd Wilkins and Patricia Dunston took first prize for a dramatic sketch performed to perfection. Second prize went to Alexis Ben- nett who captured the audience with her modern dance routine. Third prize went to David Critz and Vaughn Wilburn for their guitar play- ing and harmonizing. Ray Mize served as Master of Ceremonies and faculty members served as judges.

Along with this great triumph came the crowning of Martha Butler as this years Homecoming Queen. Martha, who two hours previously gave up her title as Miss Franklin County, looked radiant as she ac- cepted her new crown. The runners up were Jennifer Mann and Mary Hartzog, while the rest of the court consisted of the following lovely la- dies; Linda Heffers, Donna Fish, Ha- ven Cooper, Marcie Herring, and Lynn Jones. To top off the night was a dance in the multi-purpose room which was deejayed by Herbie Hor- ton. Here everyone danced the night away, relinquishing any thoughts of school and admiring the elegance of the new queen. In a nutshell, it was a great night that will be remembered for a long time. Radiantly smiling after being crowned Homecoming Queen 1984, Martha Butler, in the arm of her escort Sam Sugg, dazzles the crowd. Who will be this years ' Homecoming Queen?

The gals, how they dazzled, in long gowns and pearls. And the guys all wore ties; they were just out of sight. Yes Virginia, it was a real, live for- mal dance, the Snowflake Ball, sponsored by the women ' s dorms. Bill Sabiston provided the sounds and lights, Ed fvloolenaar saw that the refreshment table was especial- ly elegant, and even large numbers of faculty and staff showed up all decked out to join in the fun. A number of faculty and staff kids even got in on the act. They were present to escort ball-goers to their tables, and later they even danced with the adults. It was a grand idea, a lovely evening, and added a real touch of class. It was a catered affair.

It ' s always a festive occasion, and our faculty and staff kids are sure not to be left out. After all, the CLC gang goes all out to provide a time of joy and celebration for the kids. There are games galore, refresh- ments of all kinds, caroling, and last but not least, Santa is always pre- sent with a gift for each child. Santa, alias Martin Thome, and his new- found friend fake time out in the festivities to pose for the camera.

Many stuaents found goodies in the mail from parents ana friends away from campus. But they also gave up spending money to contribute to the Heart Fund by voting for their favorite couple as King and Queen of Hearts with their donations. Contributing to the Heart Fund by voting for their favorite candidates for King and Queen of Hearts are Sigrid Kesler. Tripp Foltz, Betsy Belvin. Sid Bridgforth. Roland Foreman. Stuart Beaman and Jeannie Wolff. The winning couple was Eliza Frazier and Ron Timm. They raised the most money thereby gaining the crowns. They were honored at the Valentine ' s Dance!

Sponsored and chaperoned by Ray Mize of the English Dept.. they left the first day of Spring Break for a nine day adventure in London. After arriving at Heathrow Airport in time for breakfast, everyone tried to shake off the jet lag with a quick nap and then it was on to explore the city. During the week they vis- ited Salisbury Cathedral, Oxford, Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, Can- terbury Cathedrel and Stratford- On-Avon. Other spare time was spent in pursuit of individual inter- ests. Some visited tourist haunts such as Madame Tussaud ' s Wax Museam and Covent Garden, while the rest shopped at places ranging from the established Oxford and Bond street department stores to the more trendy Sloane Square boutiques. It was an enlightening experience for the students to talk and exchange ideas with the native Londoners and to examine the dif- ferences in culture. Huge and ancient, the sight of Stonehenge added a positive note to everyone ' s trip. 30 Student Life The lucky group that got to go are pictured left to right Angela Holland.

The first night, Stan Lewter was the guest speaker. Mr. Lewter, the basketball coach at Southern Nash High School, attended Louisburg and was the first black to win the district championship. His topic was How to Achieve Success in today ' s world. Following that, Preston Barnes and Bruce Bridges performed a skit entitled, Where You Stand, which traced black history and accom- plishments back to Hannibal. The next night a variety show was put on involving among others, Byrd Wi- kins, Deborah Alston, and Patricia Dunston.

Charle, who is from Hawaii, has never seen snow and a snowball fight is a new but serious ch allenge Using a windup that would make any pitcher proud, Charle Phillips takes a chance and lets a snowball fly. Her friend Shelly Jackson seems glad it ' s someone else instead of her. Louisburg College students always have the time to take a break from studying, especially when the reason is as good as snow. Among those sledding are Dolly Tart, Chris Horner, and Suzanne Uzzel. 54 Snow Scene In Loving Memory Mr. Umphrey Lee For twenty five years the gentle spirit of Umphrey Lee. Jr. graced our cam- pus. A quiet, rather low-key man, Mr. Lee was well-known and loved by generations of students for his witty scholarship and keen mind. According to Dr. Robert Butler, His genius, his scholarship, his caring, and his devotion to his country as an infan- try paratrooper contributed to his ' Man for all season ' mystique Educated at the McCallie School of Chattanooga. Tennessee, Southern Methodist University, Stanford Universi- ty and Columbia University, Mr. Lee re- ceived his A B degree in psychology and his MA. degree in English at Stan- ford. As a member of the Louisburg Meth- odist Church, he taught Sunday School and was on the Administrative Council. He had a love of great hymns and would bob his head to the beat, said Dr. Butler. On July 29, 1984. Umphrey Lee passed away unexpectedly, bringing shock and deep sadness to the Louis- burg campus and community We miss his guidance and wisdom, but his memory and presence is with all of us who knew and loved him 55 Umphrey Lee Office Of The President h v i ■ Dr. J.

Filling in for Dr. Ricketts was Dr. Mil- ton Gilbert, pastor of the United Methodist Church in Louisburg, and Nathan Couch, seminary student at Wake Forest, both of whom have enjoyed their teaching stint. The religion department contin- ues to educate students in their reli- gious heritage and to encourage them to re-examine their own reli- gious values and ethics to more firmly intergrate them into their own lives. Mr. Stafford especially enjoys teaching his ethics class. Here, students are encouraged to consider the humanity of choices. Mr Farmer teaches Old and New Testament, and is eger to try some computer strategy for his logic students.

Miss Cotten ' s prediction certainly proved to be true. The team trav- eled to Savanah, Georgia to play in the Armstrong State Invitational Tournament, where they defeated Georgia Tech in the finals to win the championship. From there, Louisburg hosted the Region 10 Championship, and the Lady Canes beat Mount Olive for the top honors. This win earned the team a birth to the National Junior College Championship at George Wallace State College in Cullman, Alabama. At the Nationals, the Canes suffered two heart-breaking loses, first to Pensacola Jr. College and then to Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Greg not only made the All Conference Team, but was also selectea Most Valuable Player for the All Conference Team. Hitting 454, Greg managed 10 home runs for the Canes. William Hardin was also selected for the All Conference Team, hit 376, and slammed in 17 homers this season Catcher Jack Forbes was selected for the All Conference team, hit 384, and hit 7 home runs. Nat Norris hit 368 for the season and stole a whoppin 28 bases for the Canes. Jimmy Caldwell also made the All Con- ference Team. In addition, Jimmy was picked Most Valuable Player for the Louisburg team. Jimmy hit 13 home runs for the Canes. Scott Davis, another All Conference pick, hit 430 and managed 16 homers for the Canes As of this writing, the Canes have won the Eastern Tarheel Conference and are heading for the Region X Tourney at Chapel Hill.

Coach Steve Howard reported that it was a very close season with no real standouts in the conference save for Chowan, who came on strong near the end of the season to win the Conference Tourney. Coach Howard said that Greg Murphy was the most consistent player for Louisburg and that Marvin Waters ended up the season very strongly. 130 Golf Putting for a arete.

I A The Shape Of The Miss Lou-U Pageant The lights were dimmed, and the crowd was hushed. The air was filled with tension as people waited in anticipation for the contestants arrival on stage. A name was called and the first of the lovely ladies appeared, encouraged by the cheers and sometimes hysterical laughter of their fans. So began this year ' s Miss Lou-U Pageant. Ten good-natured guys from campus agreed to parade in make-up and dresses in hopes of winning this year ' s title. The contestants were Scott Bush, Tim Williams, James Day, Sam Sugg, Scott Bernstein, E-Z Ward, Rich O ' Connor, Bill Hol- comb, John Baker, and Tim Gar- rett. After going through sportswear and formal wear competition, questions and answers, and a very popular dance to Madon- na ' s ' Material Girl, Sleazy Sue (E-Z Ward) stunned the judges with her long silken legs and car- ried off the title. All the guys were fantastic sports and great show-offs, but Sam Sugg summed up the entire contest by saying Thank God I ' m not a girl!! A girl ' s life is never dull if she ' s good looking. This attitude serves E-Z Ward and Scott Bush well before the show starts. 134 Miss Lou-U Pageant The arts ' ' were al so lovely, the judges Showing their support for the contestant of had to debate long and hard before their choice, guys from Franklin cheer on Bi choosing a winner Hokromb Coch tryng to gan the judges ' eye. the grts ' dance the tttie hearts out 135 Miss Lou-U Pageant % ° « l c p (? ORGANIZATIONS m Shaping Up In Student Gov ' t. Association The Student Government Associ- ation continues to shape up as the Student Senate and the various SGA committees offer more tor the students in 1984-85. The Senate made numerous con- tributions. They helped to get the library hours changed to better meet the needs of the students. They contributed to the CLC Christ- mas Party and sponsored the fund raiser for the American Heart Associ- ation at Valentines. And they helped send a student to the Stu- dent Activities Conference. All in all, the SGA put forth quite a bit of e ffort to make the 1984-85 school year a success. 1984-85 SGA officers are: Sam Sugg, President, John Allen. Treasurer: David Critz.

In addition to sponsoring the Christmas party for needy kids, the CLC also sponsored the Red Cross Blood Mobile and the Easter Seals Rock-a-thon. The Blood Mobile was on campus on February 6, 1984 from noon until 6:00 PM in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Jordon Student Center. The collection goal was set at 1 10 pints, however by 6:00 the crew of nurses and volunteers had collected an unprecedented 147 pints of blood. With the assistance of the SGA, the CLC did an excellent job of pub- licizing the event, soliciting doners and assisting the medical perse nel. As of this writing. Advisor Sid Staf- ford and President Whit Cotney are busy organizaing the Rock-a-thon, which will run from April 24-27 with a collection goal of $4,000 for Easter Seals. The CLC Rock-a-thon is the most successful and long-running project of its type in the state. Beaming with pride.

Each year the Glee Club presents two concerts, one in the fall and a second in the spring. The Ensemble has a touring schedule to rival that of a profes- sional company. During 1984-85, the Ensemble per- formed in churches in Franklin Coun- ty, Littleton, Oxford, Durham, Wake Forest, Wilson and Winston-Salem. They also entertained the Lions ' Club in Raleigh, and a district meet- ing of the Social Services Depart- ment in Louisburg. This is not to mention their perfor- mances at Parents Day, at the Pa- tron ' s Banquet, at Alumni Day, for the Bicentennial Committee and for all of the graduation events. In conclusion, for any Louisburg student with vocal talent, there are plenty of opportunities to exercise them under Miss Foster ' s direction. Glee Club member include (1st row) Ashly Blackshear.

During the fall semester, Editor-in- chief Tad DeBerry led the staff through the production of four very professionally done issues. Tad ' s leadership and know-how were cru- tial in turning out the most up-to- date and well-done student paper Louisburg College has seen in many years. Tad left at the end of fall se- mester to attend Marquette Univer- sity. Rob Dunnington then assumed the editorship and continued Tad ' s legacy. Rob ' s dedication and long hours were primarily responsible for the fine issues of the COLUMNS pro- duced in the spring. Also crucial to the COLUMNS ' suc- cess was photographer Larry Smith, whose photo coverage and long hours in the darkroom gave us fine photojournalism. The creative works of Chris Sim- mons and the investigative report- ing of Elizabeth Wright also invigor- ated the paper. Editor-in-Chief Assoc.

During the fall semester, a group of stu- dents met occasionally for lunch in the Blue Room to read, share and discuss their work. Mr. Mize ' s creative writing class meets in the spring, and from this group comes the bulk of the work submitted to the literary magazine. The culmination of the year for writers is the Student Poetry Read- ing, held this year on May 30 in the Fine Arts Auditorium. Sponsored by the English department, 17 students from the writing class and from Mrs. Brook ' s short story class read their work. A reception followed to honor the participants. The 1985 edition of Wolphen Branch, the literary magazine, con- tained work from writing class mem- bers, other students, and from for- mer student Reggie Ponder. The issue was dedicated to Pro- fessor Umphrey Lee, Former sponsor of the magazine, and contains a drawing of Mr. Lee by William Hinton. In addition, the Wolphen Branch contains drawing to illustrate poems by Mr. Hinton ' s art students and pho- tography by Janet Hatley. Editors of the 1 ?85 edition of the Wolphen Branch are Jenny Brooks. Ray Mize, Rebecca Allen and Joe Hodges.

The smallest OAK staff ever had a colossal job to pro- duce this year ' s book. And Advisor Marcia McCredie was insistent about not sacrificing guality. During first semester, a larger staff began training and planning for OAK production. Things went smoothly enough until the realities of the time involved for OAK staffers began to be all too obvious. Heavy class loads and outside commitments took their toll. By the beginning of spring semester, a number of staffers had withdrawn. Fortunately, Todd Harris decided to join the team, and although Sher- ry Williams withdrew from school, she continued to work with the staff toward the completion of the OAK. Despite all obstacles, we ' ve done it again. We hope we ' ve included some of your fondest memories of the 1984-85 school year and that we ' ve captured its spirit for years to come. The OAK staff dubbed themselves one snazzy group and especially enjoyed their staff picture session. They are Connie Kendnck. Lisa Mayhew, Linda Heffers.

A retirement lun- cheon is held to honor Professor Seth Washburn, who is retiring after 24 years at Louisburg College. Faculty chair Dr. Michael Palmer begins the tributes with a humerous roasting, in keeping with Mr. Washburn ' s own keen sense of hu- mor. Dr. Patricia Palmer recalls her days first as Mr. Washburn ' s student and later as his colleague at Louis- burg. The Palmers remind us that Mr. Washburn is one of those rare men who truly lives his religious convic- tions, who is gentle, tolerant and peace-loving, and who is generous to a fault. Through the years, he has blessed us with everything from his own po- etry to gifts of vegetables from his garden. His music machine, having been upgraded several times, is now dubbed Genesis 4. I think of the pinhole camera he made, which really worked, and of how grandly he still juggles at the annual talent show. At some point, Mr. Washburn is called a saint. Pat Palmer relates that she has never heard Seth Washburn speak ill of anyone, and has actually seen him very ill-at- ease at overhearing one person be- rate another. That certainly qualifies him for sainthood in my book. We are reminded of his child-like sense of wonder and fascination with nature; Mr. Washburn, the per- petual student. He will be greatly missed on this campus, but certainly never forgotten. His farewell gift is a fine Yamaha guitar. Strikes me as perfect; fine, warm, mellow strains of music, up- lifting and gentle, like him. Getting a big laugh out of his roasting, Ruby and Seth Washburn relive some of his funnier moments over the years. Professor Washburn proudly displays his retirement gift, a Yahama guitar.
