TO  YOU  THIS  VOLUME  OF  THE 
"OAK,"  HOPING  THAT  AS  THE 
MURMUR  OF  OUR  GRAND  OLD

College  History 


X.s  'rilOSlC  troubled  \i:irs  which  followcj  the  American  Revolution,  there 
were  \ery  few  schools  ui  tliL-  South,  and  little  or  no  desire  for  them.  Hut 
ill  lySf)  the  ( 'icneral  Assembly  of  North  Carolina  m^'t  and  appointed  fifteen 
men  ot  I'ranklin  county,  who  were  to  form  the  Franklin  Academ>'.  Major  Brickell 
j<ave  the  land;  and  the  first  building,  a  two-story  wooden  structure,  was  erected  across 
the  street  from  where  the  college  now  stands.  Its  first  president  was  Matthew  Dick- 
inson, a  worthy  man,  and  a  graduate  of  ^'ale.  He  resigned  alter  serving  three  years, 
and  was  succeeded  by  Mr.  Hobbitt. 

In  1S02  the  female  department  was  added  with  a  fee  of  only  ;*)l6.oo  per  year,  under 
the  supervision  of  Mi;,s  Partridge.  She  soon  married  Mr.  I^obbitt,  and  under  their 
guidance  the  college  made  an  enviable  name  for  itself. 

Thus  for  many  years  Louisburg  College  struggled  on,  its  sole  h.ill  ot  learning  being 
an  old  two-story  wooden  building  which  is|  now  called  the  Annex,  until  in  1S57  the 
Main  Huilding  was  erected  and  formally  opened. 

Mr.  Southgate  safely  guided  our  Alma  Mater  through  the  Civil  War,  ,uid  the 
end  of  conflict  found  her  standing  unharmed,  her  majestic  pillars  raised  in  triumph 
to  the  sky.  Days  of  trouble  followed.  At  times  it  seemed  as  if  she  must  truly  fail. 
Prospects  were  dark  indeed  when  she  almost  passed  into  the  hands  of  a  race  other 
than  our  own  color.  But  fate  willed  it  otlierwise,  and  Louisburg  continued  unmolested 
on  -the  path  of  female  education. 

The  year  1 89 1  marked  another  imjiortant  milestone  in  the  history  of  our  college, 
for  it  was  during  that  year  that  she  was  deeded  over  to  our  own  Washington  Duke, 
whose  son,  Benjamin  Duke,  gave  Louisburg  into  the  care  of  the  North  Carolina  Con- 
ference at  the  death  of  his  father  in  1907. 

It  was  after  the  conference  took  charge  that  the  Davis  Memorial  building  was 
erected,  and  modern  heating  devices  were  installed. 

In  1915  Louisburg  entered  into  her  own  when  she  took  her  rank  among  the  first 
Junior  Colleges  of  the  South,  pronounced  and  recognized  as  such  by  the  General 
Board  of  Education. 

Louisburg  College  has  had  a  glorious  past,  but  a  still  more  glorious  future  awaits 
her  if  our  dreams  and  labor  bear  fruit.  In  1922  the  Board  of  Trustees  was  extremely 
fortunate  in  securing  Mr.  A.  W.  Mohn  for  the  presidency  of  Louisburg  College.  In 
years  to  come  it  will  bq  impossible  to  think  of  the  college  without  thinking  of  Mr. 
Mohn,  for  it  was  he  who  not  only  dreamed  dreams  of  a  greater  college,  but  realized 
them.  In  1917  there  were  only  Main  and  Davis  Buildings.  Today,  1927,  thanks 
to  Mr.  Mohn,  there  are  many  additional  improvements.  In  1924,  West  Wing  was 
completed,  and  Main  Bm'ldirg  was  comnletely  remodeled  inside.  In  1926  Wright 
Memorial   Dormitory,  a  building  donated  bv  our  b-nefactor,  Mr.  R.  W.  Wright,  in 


wmnvMHaMNwl  y 


iiiemory  of  his  sister,  who  was  a  stiuleiit  at  Louisburg,  was  completed.  This  year 
Franklin  County  Building,  a  perpetual  nioiuunent  in  brick  and  mortar  to  the  Franklin 
County  people  who  responded  so  gallantly  to  the  call  of  Greater  I^juisburg,  is  under 
construction  ;  and  hopes  are  high  for  the  beginning  of  our  Fine  Arts  Huilding,  to  be 
placed  down  the  hill  opposite  Vv'right  Building.  It  is  our  dream,  our  hope,  our  prayer 
tli.ir  i<j^7  will  see  the  absolute  completion  of  the  stu|uniious  program  being  enacted 
for  our  college.  When  our  plans  are  completed,  the  college  will  cover  twice  the  area 
she  now  does.  There  will  be  a  chapel  and  Fine  Arts  Building,  which  will  correspond 
in  position  to  Wright  Building.  Just  back  of  Main  Building  the  (lymnasiiun  and 
Infirmary  will  be  erected.  Also,  oh,  joy  to  the  teachers,  there  will  be  teacher's  cot- 
tages scattered  about  the  campus!  Just  back  of  the  (lymnasium  atui  Infirmary  there 
will  be  Tennis  Courts,  a  track  field,  and  modernly  planned  and  eijuipjied  grounds  for 
women's  athletics. 

This  dream  of  our  greater  Alma  Mater  is  no  longer  just  a  dream,  but  it  has  de- 
veloped into  a  state  of  reality,  for  campaigns  arc  being  conducte<l  for  the  ac(iuisition  of 
fimds  to  insure  the  realization  of  this  dream.  Education  is  ever  a  prime  factor  in  the 
welfare  of  a  nation.  The  people  of  the  South  and  of  North  Carolina  are  waking  to 
this  fact.  Louisburg  College,  as  she  will  be  ten  years  from  now,  will  be  the  result  of 
this  awakening,  and  the  fruit  of  our  dreams,  labors,  hopes  and  [irayers. 

O  Louisburg,  we  honor  your  past,  love  your  present,  and  hope  for  your  future! 
May  your  record  of  Christian  Education  never  diminish,  and  as  the  years  roll  over  your 
head,  may  they  bring  you  only  greater  honor  and  glory!

Poets  sing  of  inspiration!  If  the  Senior 
Class  \vas  made  up  of  poets,  we  would  all 
sing  of  our  inspiratittn — Frances.  Indeetf,  her 
calm  and  unruffled  capability  in  the  face  of 
sometimes  seemingly  impossible  proposition*, 
is  an  example  to  the  rest  of  us  in  facing  our 
everyday  tasks.  Her  determination  is  only 
ecjualed  by  her  success.  If  she  will,  she  will, 
you  may  depend  on't ;  if  she  won't,  she  won't, 
so  there's  an  end  on't.  Here's  to  the  Senior's 
beloved  President  I  ijrfZir

Beauty,  grace  ami  charm  certainly  form 
tlie  re(|uisites  nf  a  ciiicen.  Since  Jay  lias  all 
these,  and  more,  we  thiiiK  that  LouishiirK  Col- 
lege girls  could  not  haye  made  a  more  suit- 
able choice  for  their  first  May  Queen.  Jay 
is  beautiful,  not  only  in  form,  but  in  char- 
acter. Her  constant  efforts  to  help  her  com- 
panions in  any  way  possible  have  endeared 
her  to  the  -ivhole   school.

Since  \A'incy  is  one  of  the  smallest  members 
of  the  Senior  Class,  we  sometimes  wonder 
where  she  keeps  her  vast  amount  of  knowl- 
edge stored  away.  She  is  always  ready  with 
an  answer  to  any  question  that  she  may  be 
asked.  She  has  the  power  of  reasoning  that 
seems  denied  to  others,  and  when  she  does  not 
know  a  thing  she  at  once  sets  herself  to  the 
task  of  learning.  Wincy  is  often  called  "inno- 
cent." Her  very  expression  portrays  the  sweet 
and  child-like  part  of  her  character.  Her 
cheer>  "Hello"  often  casts  a  ray  of  sunshine 
in  the  heart  of  some  loTielv  girl.

T\  .(Vdf  IdiriJ's    quiet    spoken    friendliness     has, 
won  for  her  a  lasting  friendship  of  the  entire

smile — a    smile    that   might    win   the   love

a  career  of  her  own.     .Adelaide  is  often  seen 

Iking  around  carrying  a  book,  and  talkiiig

women  left  in  the  world  who  can  always 
mind  their  own  business,  and  here  is  one  of 
those  found  on  our  ca7iipus.  She  possesses 
many  characteri.<itics  that  are  too  numerous 
to  name,  but  if  one  is  very  interested,  ask 
"Buck."  Me  can  tell.  Even  if  student  gov- 
ernment duties  occupy  thought  and  time, 
there's  enough  space  left  in  her  heart  to  listen 
to  a  friend's  appeal,  especially  that  of  oin- 
firm  and  true;  good-hearted  and  sincere;  hop 
est  and  loyal;  and  a  sport  in  all  of  college

love  as  Ophelia  and  fade  like  a  lovely  floiver;

us  all  believe  her,  no  matter  wh:it  our  (luestion 
may  have  been.  First  in  fun,  first  in  friend-

She  is  known  to  her  friends  as  "Cush,"  and 
lucky  is  the  girl  who  has  earned  the  right 
to  call  her  that.  Cush  quite  often  makes  us 
marvel  at  the  almost  inexhaustible  capacity  nf 
her  brain  for  storing  knowledge.  She  is  quite 
a  neat  housekeeper,  for  she  keeps  her  facts 
arranged  in  perfect  order — never  jumbled; 
and  on  examination  day  she  brings  them  out 
for  an  airing.  And  then — <t!i !  ho^v  we  en\  \

make  her  a  very  popular  and  attractive 
Senior.  We  are  wondering  if  she  will  twirl 
traffic  in  a  hiingnlow  or  be  a  long-nosed  "lady 
in  waiting"  school  inarm?  Hut  we  knoiv  that 
she   will    he   a   success   in   either   one.

Just  the  barest  acf|uaintanceship  with  Mar- 
garet is  needed  to  feel  her  charm.  There's 
just  something  about  her  that  is  irresistible. 
She  draws  people  to  her  without  the  least  bit 
of  effort  on  her  part — even  her  worst  en- 
emies, if  she  has  anv,  carmot  deny  her  per- 
sonal magnetism.  Margaret  believes  in  being 
hospitable  and  she  loves  cottipanionship.  She 
is  always  having  guests  at  her  home,  or 
cavorting  around   in  his  car.

Anne's  personality  is  such  that  she  nnakes 
friends  easily — much  to  her  credit.  Her  favor- 
ite pastime  is  sleeping,  for  she  had  much 
rather  dream  about  her  worl<  than  do  it ;  but 
she  has  aKvays  managed  to  maintain  a  good 
standing.  We  were  afraid  once  that  Anne 
was  going  to  leave  us  and  launch  her  boat 
on  the  Sea  of  Matrimony,  but  now  we  think 
she  has  determined  to  be  a  school  marm  for 
one  year  at  least.  We  are  for  you,  Anne, 
throughout  life.

two  years  at  Louisburg  College,  and  she  has 
done  it  in  such  a  quiet  easy  going  manner  that 
we  all  wonder  how  she  manages  to  do  it  To

Alleen  will  be  a  treasure.  .'Mleen  says  that

alwa>s  find  them  wherever  she  giu-s.

Petite?  Yes,  but  in  size  only,  for  Doi^s 
holds  an  especially  large  place  in  our  hearts. 
Each  small  task  assigned  to  her  receives  great 
consideration  and  we  find  her  always  equal 
to  the  necessary  needs.  Versatile?  Yes,  for 
outside  of  being  near  the  head  of  all  her 
classes,  does  she  not  hold  us  spell-bound  with 
that  certain  quality  in  her  voice  that  one 
thrills  to  as  at  the  plucking  of  a  'cello  string? 
Beloved?  Certainly!  For  she  believes  that

Only  once  in  a  uhile  is  a  college  fortunate 
enough  to  own  a  girl  like  Lina.  She  is  truly 
one  of  the  "best  all  around"  girls  in  the  class 
or  on  the  campus.  She  has  ability,  she  has 
dignity  and  she  has  charm.  You  can  depend 
on  her  to  take  her  place  wherever  and  when- 
ever she  is  called  upon,  for  she  is  both  re- 
liable and  prepared.  She  plays,  she  sings,  she 
talks  and  she  has  won  distinction  as  a  leader. 
You'll  find  her  taking  part  in  all  phases  of 
outdoor  life,  too.  Her  host  of  friends  who 
love  her  dearly,  wish  for  Lina  all  that  the 
gods  decree  to  bestow  on  a  lovely  woman.

When  Nannie  breezed  into  the  Davis  Build- 
ing, she  brought  with  her  a  radiant  counten- 
ance which  helped  to  cheer  up  and  make 
bright  all  the  corners  of  the  beloved  hall. 
Her  gentle,  unselfish  influence  immediately 
won  for  her  a  place  in  our  hearts.  She  has 
been  a  diligent  student,  yet  not  a  book-worm. 
She  has  found  time  throughout  her  college 
career  for  the  religious,  social  and  literar\  ac- 
tivities of  the  school.  We  found  Nannie  to 
be  friendly  toward  others  and  ambitious  for 
herself.  Sometimes  she  is  moody,  sometimes 
joyful,  but  she  always  stands  for  the  things 
that   are  true   and   altogether   lovely.

according  to  the  interest  she  takes  in  Home 
Economics,  we  think  that  she  will  make  some

If  you  are  afraid  of  germs,  avoid  Eliza- 
beth, for  her  laugh  is  infection,  her  happiness 
contagious  and  her  cheerfulness  incurable. 
Despite  two  years  of  the  most  rigorous  treat- 
ments of  morning  walk,  gymnasium  and  Latin 
classes,  no  remedy  has  proved  effective  in 
depressing  Elizabeth's  spirits.  Now  as  she 
goes  out  from  Louisburg  College,  we  hope  for 
the  best  in  her  case,  although  she  has  been 
pronounced  a  hopeless  optimist.

\'erna  is  a  broad-visioned  girl  and  often 
sees  thing^i  ahead  in  life  that  others  are  too 
frivolous  to  see.  Even  older  members  of  the 
class  often  go  to  her  when  in  trouble  and 
she  is  frank  enough  to  give  helpful  advice 
without  causing  hard  feelings.  Confidence 
may  be  placed  in  her,  for  everyone  knows 
that  she  can  guard  the  secrets  of  others.  She 
is  ahvays  ready  to  make  good  use  of  her

Vou  would  never  suppose  little  Nona  to 
he  a  Senior,  but  she  is — and  very  much  of 
one!  One  minute  she  is  worrying  dreadfully 
over  mathematics;  the  next,  she  is  laughing 
gaily  over  some  passing  remark.  She  is,  in 
other  words,  an  adorable  mixture  of  serious-

in  this  small  pacKage;  and  we  foresee  that

It  seems  so  useless  to  try  to  say  something 
about  Alice,  for  she  is  so  distinctly — Alice. 
The  thing  \vhich  suits  somebody  else  is  not 
appropriate  for  her.  \Vc  can  only  say  that 
«e  think  she  is  deserving  of  every  praise. 
She  is  one  of  our  new  Seniors,  but  we  feel 
that  we  have  known  her  as  lonE  as  the  others. 
It  is  also  useless  to  say  that  she  has  won  a

and   still  do  otherwise.     Ciood   luck!

The  fact  that  Cjeorgia  likes  school  teachers 
is  not  proof  that  she  will  be  an  old-maid 
teacher,  because  she  is  lively  enough  to  share 
in  our  fun  when  it  is  time  for  play.  Just 
because  she  does  not  tell  ever\body  her 
thoughts  is  not  any  reason  that  she  cannot  be 
a  good  friend  and  sport,  but  it  takes  a  long 
acquaintance  to  know  Georgia  as  she  really 
is.  All  her  teachers  find  that  Georgia  never 
comes  to  class  without  preparing  her  lesson; 
and  during  her  two  jears  at  college,  no  mem- 
ber of  the  class  has  done  her  duty  more  will-

Fun,  frolic  and  Virginia  are  certainly  Doro-

reflection  of  her  heart.  Football  is  her  hobby,

me — Dot  is  a  wonder  when  it  comes  to  doing 
the  "Buck  and  Wing"  dance.  Surely,  this

she  was  voted  our  most  graceful   Senior.

Senior   Class    Poem 

We  go  forlh,   as  other  comrades, 
With  our  eyes  fixed  on  the  future; 
And  our  hearts  go  forth  with  gladness, 
Tho'  our  past  must  lie  behind  us, 
]?c  it  blotted  or  perfected. 

Though    we've   blundered    in   our   efforts. 
Though  we've  faltered  in  our  fancies. 
We  go  gladly  toward  that  future; 
Bid  farewell  to  Alma  Mater, 
To  our  blessed  Foster  Mother. 

At  her  quest,  we  lift  the  curtain, 
Stage  the  play  that  she's  indicted ; 
All  shall  see  our  source  of  knowledge. 
Understand  our  hearts  made  purer 
By  her  standards  and  her  teachings. 

All  shall  see  what  she  has  taught  us. 
Do  you  think  we  can  be  worthy. 
Worthy  to  be  called  her  children — 
Children  of  this  famous  mother. 
Bound  by  love  to  one  another? 

Though  we're  leaving,  we're  remaining 
Loyal  to  thy  daily  precepts; 
Loyal  to  thy  sacred  teachings; 
Loyal  to  thy  noble  calling. 
Louisburg,  our  .Alma  Mater. 

Bless  us,  mother,  as  we  leave  thee ; 
Breathe  into  us  noble  purpose; 
Breathe  into  us  high  devotion; 
Make  us  lovely  incarnations 
Of  thy  spirit,  great  and  holy!

mates.  A  woman  dressed  in  many  colors  gave  me  a  crystal  hall  to  look  in.  At  first  I 
could  see  nothing;  and  then  dimly,  I  could  discern  the  great  columns  of  my  .\lma  Mater, 
Slowlv  the  picture  faded  and  there  stood  Frances  Woodlietf,  our  class  president.  She  had  her  vir)lin 
in  her  hand.  I  tried  to  speak  to  her,  hut  could  not,  as  she  was  talking  so  hard  to  some  man  about 
the  concert  that  was  to  be  given  that  evening.  She  was  the  company's  violinist;  Grace  Windly 
was  the  soloist;  F.va  Helle  Bobbit  was  the  dancer;  Anne  Woods  the  reader;  while  May  <5reen  was 
the  one  whom  they  all  loved,  for  she  made  their  costumes  and  prepared  their  meals. 

This  scene  changed,  and  I  noticed  a  sign  that  read,  "F'xcellent  School — Special  Traif)ing  in 
Math  and  Spanish."  l^he  dt)or  opened,  and  I  saw  noroth>"  Cjardner  anti  Lucille  Taylor  seated  at  a 
desk.  A  mischievous  boy  rtood  before  them  with  tears  in  his  eyes.  Lucille  (luieted  the  child,  while 
Dorothy  said  in  a  firm  voice,  "No  matter  what  the  offense,  no  one  is  to  be  campused  at  this 
school."  The  door  opened,  and  two  women  entered.  One  of  them  held  a  Math  book.  She 
was  professor  of  .-Mgebra  and  was  none  other  than  .'\udrey  Midyette.  I  was  so  surprised.  The 
other  was  F.lizabeth  Thompson,  the  Spanish  teacher.  My  wonder  knew  no  bounds.  I  turned  the 
ball  again,  and  there  stood  Blanche  Benson,  Janie  Fletcher,  and  Frances  Yelverton,  presiding  over 
a  well-kept  kitchen  in  a  modern  training  camp.  I  was  not  a  bit  surprised,  for  ail  of  them  had 
been  excellent  sports  and  great  admirers  of  the  men  back  at  L.  C.  Suddenly  this  scene  shifted, 
and  there  was  a  court  room.  I  peered  closer  into  the  glass  and  recognized  the  judge  to  be  Marie 
Hester.  It  seemed  that  the  case  on  trial  was  this:  Two  women  had  stolen  the  hearts  of  two 
men  and  refused  to  give  them  bacK.  The  guilty  were  Sallie  Mae  .^Iphin  and  Minnie  Mae 
Beaman.  Fheir  lawyer  was  Cornelia  Frizzell.  She  pled  their  case  nobly,  and  won  a  victory 
for  her  classmates.  I  turned  the  crystal  rather  suddenly,  and  who  did  I  see  but  Jay  Williams 
and  Natt  F.xum.  They  were  placing  in  the  attractive  windows  of  a  small  shop  a  poster  that 
read,  '.Ml  who  desire  to  learn  the  secrets  of  beauty — patronize  us."  They  are  wealthy  by  now, 
I  suppose.     Ciradually  the  picture  faded,  and  I  turned  the  glass. 

The  scene  which  I  saw  next  took  place  in  a  beautiful  church.  I  saw  several  girls  dressed  in 
wedding  garments,  and  upon  gazing  hard  at  the  crystal,  I  could  discern  quite  plainly.  Ruby  Dail, 
Lucy  Clifton  Boddie,  Marjorie  Johnston  and  Montee  Moyle.  In  front  of  them  stood  Mildred  Ed- 
wards. They  had  followed  her  example.  In  a  minute  the  minister  came  out  to  talk  to  them,  and  I 
was  much  surprised  to  see  that  it  was  Lillian  Howell.  I  turned  the  glass  and  saw  Alice  Averitt,  a 
ballet  dancer,  giving  lessons  to  Hazel  Mann,  Isabelle  West  and  Lina  Wilson.  They  were  to  tour 
Europe  that  fall.  Margaret  Newbern  was  treasurer  of  the  band,  and  Eunice  Butts  was  pianist.  .\s 
I  peered  at  the  glass,  .■M'.ce  Poyner,  Eula  Purnell  and  Margaret  McLeod  appeared.  They  were 
making  a  tour  of  the  West  and  with  them  were  Martha  Hagley  Yelverton  and  \'irginia  I'odd. 
rive  vagabonds  1     As  happy  and  carefree  as  ever. 

The  next  scene  was  quite  beautiful.  Flowers  were  everywhere.  I  looked  closely  and  there 
were  V'erna  Maxwell,  Frances  Stanton,  Vera  I'srey  and  Catherine  Thomas,  all  classmates  of  mine. 
They  told  me  that  ihey  were  in  the  florist  business  and  that  they  were  sending  lavender  and  white 
flowers  to  every  member  of  our  class.  I  thought  it  was  sweet  of  them;  but  I  remembered  that 
they  had  always  been  thoughtful  girls.  .Another  turn  of  the  ball,  and  I  could  see  .Adelaide  John- 
son, .Allene  May  and  Minnie  Lancaster.  .\11  queens  of  the  school  room.  Miss  Guthrie  and  Mr. 
Best  had  not  taught  in  vain,  for  they  were  three  successful  teachers.  When  the  pupils  of  thee 
three    illustrious   teachers    were    homeward    bound,    they    were   taken    in    large,    comfortable    trucks

driven  by  Nancv  Taylor,  Pearl  Panton,  Mary  Frances  Respess  and  Margaret  Crcdle.  They  ex- 
plained that  thev  had  taken  this  job  in  order  to  train  for  the  Charlotte  races,  in  which  they  com- 
peted each  year.  Whv,  what  in  the  world  was  that?  Ves,  '.t  certainly  was  a  car  load  of  brick, 
hut  what  in  the  world  were  Mabel  Bradsher,  Inez  Chadwick  and  Ruth  Watson  doing  unloading 
them?  I  could  only  guess  that  they  were  building  a  gvninasium,  so  that  the  poor  girls  would  not 
freeze  to  death  whi'e  Miss  Whitehead  called  the  roll.  Just  then,  .Annie  Noble  came  up  in  a  big 
car  to  take  them  to  dinner.     From  her  appearance,  I  presumed  that  .'\iinie  had  married  a  rich  man. 

This  scene  vanished,  and  I  saw  Lucille  Lawrence,  Wincy  HIakeney,  Mamie  James  Blue  and 
CIvde  Johnson  trimming  luits  Ic  r  ihe  tarult>.  1  mitiied  iliai  all  these  brims  came  down  in  front, 
and  supposed  the  reason  for  that  was  that  they  did  not  want  the  faculty  to  see  everything  that  the 
girls  did.  Next  I  saw  a  tent  pitched  by  a  small  stream  in  the  woods.  I  looked  closely  and  there 
were  Nannie  Field:.,  Herta  Jones  and  Louise  Joyner.  They  were  out  and  out  suffragists  ami  the 
reason  for  their  present  encampment  was  the  desire  to  use  the  freedom  they  had  ga  ned  since 
graduation  from  l.ouisburg.  Hut  while  pondering  the  situation,  three  women  dressed  in  blue  coat 
suits,  with  clubs  in  their  hands  came  up.  These  policewomen  were  Dori.  Hancock  and,  yes, 
Georgia  Coggin.  They  were  chcckng  up  on  the  girls  of  '27  to  see  that  they  were  where  they 
should  be. 

1  turned  the  glass  slouly,  but  all  was  gone.  Tired,  but  extremely  happy,  I  handed  the 
crystal  back  to  the  fortune  teller,  and  left.  I  went  away  with  the  heart  of  a  girl  graduate, 
delighte'l  at  the  success  of  my  classmates.

Class  History 


fi 


'dl  R  \ear^  an".  tliouuli  it  luirill>  Mt-ms  four  weeks  a^o,  thirteen  tremblinj;  girls  entered 
I.iiiiivlnir);  ColleKe,  anil  haltiiiglv  annDunced  tliernselves  as  Freshmen.  \Vc  were  truly 
1  reshnien,  and  altliDu^h  <nir  number  was  iiinsidcred  unlucky,  it  did  not  prove  so. 
We  immediately  orjjani/cd  our  class,  choosinK  for  our  motto,  "tireen  tnit  Kri'^'HK"; 
anil  \M-  have  f^row  n  !  That  year  mi^ht  be  called  a  very  successful  one,  even  thoush  we  did  no 
specific  thin);  to  be  rccorilid  nn  mir  pa^e  of  history.  \Vc  Miana;;cd  to  pay  off  our  aiunial  debt 
anil    we  alwa\s  stooil    reail\    to  help  our  sister  class,   the  Juniors. 

The  next  vear,  seven  id  our  class  returned,  feelint;  ver\  sophisticated.  Twi)  of  the  seven 
had  joined  the  class  of  "26,  but  eisht  new  j^irls  were  added  to  our  list.  I'his  gave  us  thirteen 
on  roll  again,  but  we  were  too  educated  to  be  superstitious.  Elizabeth  lluggins  was  elected 
president,  and  Miss  Nell  Woods,  class  teacher.  They  were  faithful  leaders,  and  after  having 
sold  many  gallons  of  ice  cream  during  the  year,  we  were  free  from  all  financial  worries  at 
the  end. 

Last  year,  four  Sophomores  returned,  proud  of  the  fact  that  we  were  really  college  girls.  We 
were  also  proud  to  know  that  we  were  no  longer  a  small  band  of  thirteen,  but  a  large  class 
of  one  hundred  and  twenty  girls.  Many  of  this  number  belonged  to  the  Commercial  Department, 
but  they  were  claimed  as  Juniors.  Frances  Stanton,  one  of  our  new  members,  was  elected 
president,  and  Misses  Nell  and  Louise  Woods  class  teachers.  These  very  diligent  workers 
helped  to  make  last  year  a  noted  one  in  our  history.  The  three  events  which  took  place  during 
the  year,  and  the  three  which  proved  to  be  so  very  successful,  were  the  Junior  Circus,  the  Junior 
Follies  ami  the  victory  over  the  Seniors  in  basketball  on  Thanksgiving  day.  It  was  wonderful 
to  feel  that  we  were  a  step  ahead  of  the  Seniors,  though  we  were  taken  down  when  they 
received  their  diplomas  in  May.  We  watched  them  fervently,  our  hearts  swelling  with  pride 
when  we  realized  that  our  day  was  very  near. 

Can  it  be  possible  that  we  are  Seniors?  We  arc  feeling  not  altogether  as  we  thought  we  would 
feel.  Our  happiness  is  mingled  with  a  few  tears,  and  we  wish  that  somehow  we  could  be  Seniors 
next  year  instead  of  this  year.  Fifty-three  of  our  Juniors  came  back,  and  six  new  girls  were  added 
to  the  list.  Frances  Woodlieff  has  served  as  a  most  efficient  president,  and  our  class  advisors. 
Miss  Bizzell,  Miss  Sheek  and  Mrs.  Mnhn,  have  jiroved  to  be  very  substantial  crutches  on 
which  we  often  lean. 

This  vear  we  have  had  the  pleasure  of  taking  part  in  the  dedication  of  the  Pattie  Julia 
Wright  Memorial  Dormitory,  given  by  Mr.  Richard  Wright.  The  dedication  services  took  place 
on  November  the  twenty-third,  a  day  that  we  shall  never  forget.  In  December  we  gave  a  bazaar 
which  was  a  great  financial  success.  Among  the  entertainments  which  we  put  on  was  a  Civpsv 
Carnival  staged  on  the  campus.  It  was  quite  picturesipie  and  different  from  anything  that  had 
ever  been  given  before.  Frances  Kaspar  Lawson,  popular  American  soprano,  gave  a  concert 
in   the   College   Music   Hall    in   the   spring   under   the   auspices  of   our   class. 

Now-  we  present  our  motto  and  our  work  at  the  portals  of  Louisburg  College.

Junior   Class   Poem 

"That's   Ah    Dad" 

When  I  was  a  baby  upon  his  kiii-i' 
He  taught  me  how  to  give  thanks  to  thee ; 
How  to  be  loyal  and  true  and  kind, 
How  the  Golden  Rule  c\cr  tn  mind — 
That's  m.\'  Dad  ! 

Then   when   I   budded,   blossomed   and   grew, 
He  still  stuck  to  me;  and  I  always  knew 
That   if  I  sinned,   as  long  as  I   live, 
Me,  lie  would  always  and  always  forgive — 
That's  my  Dad ! 

God,  give  every  girl  a  Dad  like  mine; 
One  who  is  gentle,   forgiving  and  fine. 
One  who  knows  well  his  girl's  weak  way. 
One  who  will  keep  her  from  going  astray — 
That's  my  Dad ! 

A  man  strong  of  heart  as  well  as  of  mind, 
A  man  wlio  knows  how  to  be  wonderfully  kind, 
A  man  who  trusts  you.  through  thick  and  thin, 
A  spirit  to  guide  you  and  save  you  from  sin — 
That's  my  Dad ! 

— M.  C.

Women  s  Fraternities 

XT  IS  OUR  firm  belief  that  the  college  fraternity 
is  an  institution  which  is  greatly  beneficial  to 
the  girls  within  its  bounds.  It  surrounds  its 
young  women  with  a  more  homelike  atmosphere  than  they 
would  otherwise  enjoy.  It  embodies  not  only  social  lite, 
but  an  earnest  endeavor  to  increase  loyalty  toward  Cjod, 
the  faculty,  the  student  body,  and  toward  self.  The  fra- 
ternity furnishes  a  strong  and  lasting  link  to  college  life. 
It  is  a  chain  by  which  the  bonds  of  friendship  are  strength- 
ened by  the  bonds  of  sisterhood. 

We  have  three  fraternities  at  Louisburg — the  Delta 
Iota  Kappa,  the  Sigma  Delta  Theta,  and  the  Alpha 
Omega  Phi.  These  fraternities  are  made  up  of  groups 
of  congenial  girls  who  have  chosen  to  form  themselves 
into  secret  organizations.  They  work  together,  play  to- 
gether, and  the  spirit  of  sisterly  love  exists  among  them, 
guiding  them  to  the  higher,  nobler  life.

she  liked  picture  shows  and  books.  The  reply 
was:    "I    don't    like    them.      1    like    the    real 

stuff!"

One  day  in  math  class  Dot  Gardner  picked 
up  Mis.~  Bizzel's  grade  book,  thinking  that 
it  was  her  college  algebra.  When  Miss  Biz- 
zell  asked  her  to  put  it  down.  Dot  said:  "It 
is  blue  just  like  my  hook."  To  which  Miss 
Bizzell  replied,  "That  book  is  blue  because  it 
has  such  poor  grades  in  it."

Eula  Purnell  went  to  her  room.  She  did 
not  want  to  study,  but  she  knew;  she  ought 
to.  Finally  she  decided  to  flip  a  coin  to  see 
whether  she  would  study  or  not.  These  were 
her  terms:  "Heads,  I  go  to  the  show;  tails, 
I   go  to  bed ;   edge,   I  study."

Miss  Betts  asked  one  of  her  students  to 
make  a  rhyme.  After  a  moment's  hesitation, 
the  student  said:

Virginia  Todd  wants  James  Cooper  for  her

The  history  teacher  was  explaining  to  the 
class  one  day  that  some  day  we  shall  talk 
through  the  air  without  wires.  One  of  the 
pupils  said.  "Won't  it  be  funny  to  have  an 
operator  tell  you  that  the  air   is  busy?"
