Did You Know
That?
Baseball is here!!—Everywhere
the boys of the bat and ball game
are ready to go—(Except Leo Du-
rocher, Manager of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, who has been banished
from baseball for a year)—The
Trojans are off to a good start—
Two wins and one defeat—Things
should pick up with a few more
games—You can depend on the Tro
jans to give other teams a run for
their money before long—We still
are badly in need of a few pitchers
—Football may be played here next
year—Wouldn’t that take the edge
off these blue week-ends?—You will
see the school spirit take hold if
football does make its appearance
here—Did you read Jim “Legs”
Fournier’s Letter to the Editor last
issue?—The “Legs” is right—-(At
this time, Jim is at the bedside of
his father—Hope you a speedy re
covery Mr. Fournier) I’m still won
dering why we aren’t using our
bowling alley equipment—Can any- j
one put me straight?—Have You |
seen Sam “Ted Williams” South-
ernland take a cut at that ol’ apple?
—You are missing something!!—
Be sure and read “THE PLAYERS
SPEAK”—It’s the inside story of
their thrills and heart-breaks—The
golf team goes into action next
week—Norman Chambliss, George
Laws, Donald Fetner, and Weldon
Kimball make up the team at this
date—They invite new members to
join—Several games are on tap—

“I Shot An Arrow”
I shot an arroiv into the air;
It fell to earth; I know not where."
So said Longfellow—not speak
ing of archery, but we are. Many
of us wonder whether we will ever
be able to guide those arrows. It
seems that they go in every direc
tion except toward the target. Af
ter the simple instructions given
by Miss Crisp it seems so easy, but
still the arrows seem to go wild.
There are, however a few mod
ern Robin Hoods on the campus who
have acquired skill with the bow
and arrow. Two of them are Eloise
Fowlkes and Marian Hodges, who
won high honors in last year’s
tournament.
Many girls are expected to enter
the archery tournament this year,
which takes place in a few weeks.
Certainly Cupid with his bow and
arrow seems to be doing fine around
the campus so do not seem dis
couraged when the target is missed
and an arrow is lost. Just keep
practicing and soon everyone will
be saying “I shot an arrow into the
air—” Bullseye I !

Throuj^h the
Knothole
Can the students of Louisburg
College boast of championship
teams in the major sports? Can
they step up on the conference
standings and shout,“We are the
favorites; we are unbeatable; we
are the masters of the game.”
Louisburg students could fulfill
this desire, and they will do so.
Many rungs they have passed over
this year, and in years to come
future Louisburg students will be
perched at the peak of the ladder,
waving their undefeated banner—
Louisburg College.
This writer strives to give praise
where praise is really deserved.
Bouquets should be thrown to the
past basketball team and the pres
ent baseball aggregation. Both
groups of starring athletes have
climbed high on the championship
ladder. The rungs of the ladder
have been dismantled behind them
by their ever-praising followers.
They are en route to the top, never
to be dethroned.
The present-day students may not
be members of these title-holding
majesties, but they will always
know the satisfaction of having
been present when the victory
march began. They will have
brought joy and happiness to the
hearts of all those who were here
to witness the amazing progress in
the field of sports. This writer
proposes a toast of gratitude to
those do-or-die sportsters, along
with a hearty “thanks”.
Horseshoe
The horseshoe tournament drew
a large number of players. Hulda
Lineberry pitched the winning
shoe, Jean Parker being runner-up.
Marion Hodges was the manager.
Track Meet
Track was first introduced in gym
classes, and then intermural prac
tice began. After several days of
practice the soreness is predicted
to leave, and the girls to be condi
tioned for play. There has been no
competition between women stu
dents.
Field Hockey
For the first time in Louisburg
College, field hockey has been a part
of girls’ athletics. The equipment
for twenty-six players was obtained
early in the year and the actual
playing got underway in the late
fall. Games were called and played
and shifting group teams played a
series of games.
MONOGRAM CLUB
INITIATES
Highlighting the accomplish
ments of the basketball team was
the recent acceptance of members
into the Monogram Club. Small
membership has recently prevent
ed much activity, but with the new
members the club is looking for
ward to a well-planned program.
Coach “Knute” Kilby was the
main speaker in chapel the day of
presentation of letters. He de
scribed to the student body the
sense of unity and close companion
ship experienced by the members
of the basketball team in the past
season. He told not only of the
accomplishments and victories but
also the near wins and defeats. The
main point of his talk, however,
was the fact that the whole team
enjoyed the season together and all
profited.
For initiation the members wore
some piece of athletic equipment
through the day, and anyone seeing
“Jim” Fournier with a catcher’s
mask or “Dopey” Phelps with a
glove could readily see these fel
lows loved the sport.
The Players Speak
Monk: We played our best offen
sive game the night we beat E. M.
I. Our best all-round game was at
Campbell, the night they beat us
three points. That was a hard one
to lose.
Fred Davis: My greatest disap
pointment was the game down at
Campbell. Those three points were
i heart-breakers.
; Lacy: I think the game in the
tournament at Dunn was the most
outstanding. We really should
have had that one—did have, in
fact, but we couldn’t stop Bennett.
' Tuck: While I was with the team,
11 think the best game was at Camp-
j bell. Even though we lost, we
j worked together better that night.
, Utley: I guess I think the same
as most of the others: our best
j games were at E. M. I. and Camp-
I bell.
Willie: The hardest game we
played last season was down at E.
C. T. C. They beat us pretty bad,
but they had a classy outfit.
Pop Flint: We played our best
game of the year at Campbell even
if we did get beat. We should
have won that one.
! Rasco: The Campbell game was
really our best game; but the one
I at E. M. I. was a pretty good one,
' too.
Phelps; The game at the end in
: the tournament at Dunn was prob-
■ ably the most exciting, but we real
ly played our best at Campbell.
' Sam: Same here! That game at
I Campbell really brought out all the
team-work there was in us.
P. G.: My pick of games is the
tournament game at Dunn. Of
course. I’ll never forget Henderson.
Legs Fournier; The game at
Campbell was heart-breaking. It’s
hard to name our best game. The
team spirit was good at all times.

He cited the fact that out of the '
26 civilizations so far begun, west
ern civilization is the only one yet [
surviving. He reminded his listen-!
ers that they were living in a “ma-'
chine age, a city age, an atomic
age”. He stressed the fact that
“time is short and that thinking,
feeling, and confidence must take a
great change if World War III is
to be avoided.
In his opinion, the strongest
force for this escape from disaster
is a religious motive. If Christians
today will do their part toward
abolishing national sovereignty,
their effort will not be in vain.

VETS CLUB
PRESENTS FOLLIES
The Louisburg College Vets Club
gave out on April 25 with one of the
most spectacular extravaganzas of
the spring season.
Having a gay nineties theme, the
show consisted of vaudeville enter
tainment including specialty acts
new and old and a chorus line of
stunning and delightful colleens
who had the very breath of spring
in their every rythmic step.
By a galaxy of acts of music,
mirth, and a touch of madness; the
“Follies” kept the audience in a
slap-happy frame of mind for the
entire evening.
The “Follies”, though light in
thought and carefree in action, of
fered the "audience a chance to spend
a pleasant, if not sophisticated
evening. That, in itself, was “its
own excuse for being”.
