Junior-Senior prom creates enchantment Weeks of preparation and dedication were climaxed Friday, May 10, by the Junior-Senior Prom. “Moonlight and Roses” was the theme which was evidenced by the decorations adorning the auditorium of Louisburg High School. An outdoor garden was depicted, and the feehng of spring was colorfully brought forth. There were rose hedges, fountains, picket-fences, carts full of rose-buds, tapiary trees, and a gazebo. Couples swayed to the fabulous music of “The Swinging Professionals” of Raleigh. The combination of orchestra, refreshments, and scenery provided Juniors and Seniors, facul- ty and staff, chaperones and guests a night of recreation and enjoyment that will not soon be forgotten.

“Winning is not everything, but wanting to is.” No one in Louisburg High School’s history has want- ed to win more than Thomas Finch. Playing football for four years with a losing team, Thomas struggled relentlessly to gain honor for himself and Iris school. Thomas began his career as a freshman starter for the football team. He played every position except center and quarterback. Following in this style, he became All-Conference in his Sophomore and Junior years. He received added recognition by becoming All-East in his Junior year. In basketball he was also in the spotlight. In Iris Junior year, he was Second Team All-Conference. In baseball, he became outstanding all over the field. No honor can be denied a person who works hard enough, and Thomas never stopped trying. Although injured in the third game of the 1968 season, he made All-Conference and All-East end and linebacker. After surgery, he played basketball and baseball. As a final tribute to Thomas, Number 72 was retired to the athletic trophy case, never again to be worn by a football player at LHS. We the students of Louisburg High School, recog- nize Thomas Finch as an outstanding part of our world. The Circle spotlights Thomas Finch
