6 LOUISBlURG ECHOES. Miss Gladys Beckwith, who graduated here in ’05 and at Shorter College in ’08, is study ing in the American College of Pine Arts, in Florence, Italy, of which her mother, Mrs. K. R. Beckwith, so long associated with this school, is Director. * * * Miss Edna Thompson (1901) never fails to reflect credit on her Alma Mater. From the Washington Graded School she followed her father to Elizabeth City, where she found a position awaiting her in the Graded School there. ♦ « « In the business meeting on Tuesday after noon ofHcers were elected as follows: Mrs. J. S. Barrow, President; Mrs. Joel King, Vice President; Mrs. J. L. Palmer, Recording Sec retary; Miss Cora D. Bagley, Corresponding Secretary and Treasurer. « « * Miss Nannie Beck Cooper, in September, 1907, declared she would no longer be a “country school ma’am,” and accepted a posi tion in the Rocky Mount Graded School. She is delightfully situated in the home of Mrs. T. A. Cooper (nee Belle Davis). * * * Miss Virginia Spruill (1905), the “College Scribe,” is teaching in the Graded School in Plymouth. Virginia made her first visit to her Alma Mater in June (1907). The re sponsibilities of the school room have not succeeded in driving the roses from her cheeks. * * « Miss Mattie Ballard gave a most interest ing lecture on “First Grade Work” to the members of. the Teachers’ Institute on No vember 7th. She has charge of that work in the Franlcllnton Graded School. The small boy of Franklinton is the envy of some larger boys that we know. * * * The Alumnae Banquet during Commence ment week .was one of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings since the organization of the Alumnae Association in 1897. The following ante-bellum dames added much to the ])leasure of the occasion: Mrs. J. S. Bar row, as toast-mistress; Mrs. Joel King, of Warrenton; Mrs. S. E. Blount, of Wilson; Mrs. Anna Ijawson, of South Boston, and Mrs. M. S. Davis, of Louisburg. * * • Mary Alfred Cooper, Louise Allen, Pattle Bet Davis, and Annie Perry, of '08, are rest ing on their laurels this year. Ida Ellis is in Norfolk taking the Trained Nurse’s Course; May Holmes, Mary Webb, Alice James Costen, Annie Carroll, Emma Corbet, Emma Duke, Ola Long, and Jennie Duke are engaged in the delightful task— “To train the tender mind, And teach the young Idea how to shoot.” Mrs. Nanniej Spivey Clarke (1900) is spending the winter at Crozer Theological Seminary, Chester, Pa., where her husband has been attending lectures since he finished the course at Johns Hopkins. In a recent letter she writes: “I am enjoying a good many lectures. I heard Dr. Wayland Hoyt on ‘Henry Ward Beecher as I Knew Him.’ Dr. Bliss, an Assyrian by birth and a great ex plorer, gave lectures on ‘Explorations in Pal estine.’ I am attending weekly lectures on the Protestant Reformation.” We believe Nannie has a proper conception of the duties and responsibilities, as well as the privileges of a minister’s wife.

IN AND AROUND TOWN. Subscribe to Louisburg Echoes—make 1909 a Red Letter Year in the history of Louisburg College. » « Mrs. Wiliam Nicholson, who has been vis iting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Person, has returned to her home in Plymouth. * * * At the concert recently given by the Home Mission Society, the Instrumental solos by Miss Sallie Jones, an “ante-bellum girl,” re ceived very hearty applause. « » ♦ Miss May Jones, though not engaged in school work, finds time, she writes, for pri vate lessons in expression at Vandervilt Uni versity. « * « Mrs. Lee Battle entertained the Faculty and a few friends on Monday evening, No vember 9th, in honor of Miss Columbia Crud- up, of New York. 4t « » The College Library became the recipient of a beautifully bound set of Dickens a few days ago, presented by our friends, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Holloway. We feel very grateful for this expression of their friendship. « * » The unusual commotion on the campus a few nights ago (unusual because the “small boys” have grown into knights, whose sacred honor no longer permits us to be annoyed), was occasioned by some youthful ’possum hunters who came through the campus to ex hibit a fine prize they had captured on the river. ♦ ♦ * There have been two series of meetings held in Louisburg since we came in Septem ber; much interest was manifested In each. Excellent sermons were preached by Rev. H. A. Humble at the Methodist Church, and Rev. L. A. Cooper, at the Baptist Church. Mr. Cooper was assisted by Mr. I. U. Ruby, whose rich tenor voice, captivated his hearers. ♦ * * * Louisburg Echoes is the outcome of a deep and ardent desire on the part of the Faculty and Students of 1908-’09 to take some step that shall lead to the better equipment of the College. We feel very grateful to the business men who have by their liberal patronage aided us in our effort. Every advertiser bought space for the year; some, we believe, did so
