Opening Day 1988 Opening day is always exciting and scary for first year students. The moving in and the arranging their rooms are some of the very first steps on a busy agenda of things to be done. Meeting their Residence Life Staff and getting their room keys are some of those important agenda items to get out of the way early. Another new experience for first year students is getting acquainted with their roomate and suite- mates. These experiences can have its anxiety-filled moments. Opening day has a very distinct flavor, for some first year students, of summer camp. There are so many things to do! There are oreintation meetings, meeting of new and exciting people and of course, the dances. Parents tend to be a very important phase of the opening day experience. They become helpers in moving and arranging the rooms for their sons and daughters. Parents helped with the carrying of all those boxes and those necessary items for study and relaxation. There are posters and other essential wall hanging to be placed in those appropriative spaces. Some students came with soft comfortable chairs and sofas to make their rooms more like home while others built tofts to give their rooms a more creative look. These were high priorities for most students before settling down to the tasks of going to classes and studying long hours for that ulimate reward of graduation. Finding a parking space to unload your belongings was very important for first year student Kay Porter It is essential to have those necessary study aids for the long semester, i,e,, television, refrigerator, stereo, food, etc. Many of the parents helped in the moving and the arranging of rooms on opening day, Andrian Tillet was very pleased with her mothers aid.

Fall Intramural Softball, and Homecoming are just some of the many college events that each Louisburg College student had the opportunity to be a part of during the course of the year. There were many avenues for Louisburg College students to display their talents and leadership. Some students used their creativity through the Arts Many students participated in the art shows during the fall and spring semesters Other students chose to sing in the Ensemble or Glee Club. Some gave of their time to the Christian Life Council. Many students found that their Residence Life Councils provided opportunities for them to get involved in planning and implementing projects Students learned to live with other students in the same room and found out that many of these would become lifelong friends. The year ends with the Annual Awards Day Program that presents to students recognition and awards for their hard academic work and services that would have a lasting memory Then of course.

You only have five minutes to get to class. Are you going to bring a ste- reo? Who do you have for English Compo- sition? I will never be able to make my eight o ' clock class. These are some of the things we all heard when we moved into our new home. Earlier this summer we were assigned a roommate. Letters were written, phone calls were made, and meeting places were set ail in hopes of finding out bits of infor- mation about our new roomie. We all looked forward to that first night to decorating our new room. Posters for the walls, pictures of that special someone, and other fond memories were all packed into boxes and brought to school to make us feel more at home. The most fun comes from meeting new friends in the first few days of classes. Fifty students were surveyed and were asked how they got along with their room- mate. Only seventeen students found it difficult to live with their present room- mates. On the other hand, freshman Carol Thompson said She and her roommate get along great. Most students agreed that living with someone was a major change from having his or her own room. Dorm life is a very big change and a very different experience for all of us. We have to take responsibilities that we previously left to our parents. We find ourselves wash- ing clothes, cleaning our rooms, and mak - ing our beds. We must all learn to take the good with the bad, because there are many ups and downs we will experience, and we shall all experience most of them together. Moving in day is always a family affair. Many parents help in the moving of those most important comforts the student  ill surely need as the year continues. Group study is a familiar sight in most dorm rooms. Here Richard Harris, Robert Riley and Mar- cus McAdoo share ideas on the exam scheduled for the next day.

Homecoming Court 43 Many students, faculty, and staff took tfie opportunity to view the art work of the students during the Fall and Spring Students Art Show. The students who created some of these works of art are shown here with some of their creations. Student Art Show 44 Making life like figurines of themselves was just one of the many art forms the Drawing Class under the direction of William Hinton did during the spring semester. The Student Art Show So Much Talent! Who ever knew there was so much stu dent talent in art at Louisburg College? If you did not get to view the many interest- ing and well done art forms at the Fall and Spring Student Art Show you really miss a treat. The Student Art Show may have convince many people that there is a ton of talent among the students that participat ed in the show. Mr. William Hinton instruc- tor of Art said that his aim was to intro- duce the student to art forms through exhibitions in the college gallery, to teach the history of art from prehistoric times to the contemporary period and to teach the basic skills required for creating art. Mr. Hinton is a very accomplished artist him- self. He has had his work shown nationally and statewide. Hinton wants to set the ex- ample for his students by doing his own work in the studio with his students. The work found in the Student Art Show were contributed by the ceramic sculpture class, the foundation drawing class and the photography classes. Mr. Hinton explains that the ceramic sculpture class learns to use clay as a sculptural median; the foun- dation drawing class learns to use many different materials, both traditional (pencil, paint and charcoal) and untraditional (flashlights, straws and copper wire). The process of learning how to see is more important than coming up with a finished product, says Mr. Hinton. Mr. Hinton maintains that all projects have a starting point and that they all show uniqueness. All the students in the art classes are at the introlevel point. The projects they make are centered around trying to find out something about their individuality. I Many students made face mask for Iheir proiects and displayed them in the Fall Student An Show This onr is by Cathy Carter.

The 1987-88 Columns had a different look this year with a new complete staff and a new Instructor and Advisor. Mr. Richard Byrd assumed the duties and posi- tion of Instructor and Advisor of the monthly college newspaper. The Columns plays a vital role in giving needed informa- tion to the students, faculty and adminis- tration on the up-coming events and details of important past events. The paper lets the readers know about things that are happing in the lives of students and what the faculty are doing. But more than the service the student newspaper gives the college community there is even a much larger reward for the students who partici- pates. The experience of being on the staff of a college newspaper is something alot of students will not be a part of and not know the joys of a finished product. The Col- umns offers students one hour of english elective credit each semester. The stu- dents learn the techniques of journalism and in some cases photojournalism.

The CLC also sponsors the blood drives when the Ameri- can Red Cross comes to campus. This year there were two successful Bloodmobile drives on the Louisburg College campus and the community. There are different reasons for students to get involved with the CLC. Tim Taylor said, I knew it would help a lot of people. It is a good Christian thing to do.
