Ends His Career
Edward Collins Pitts, the great
est athlete ever turned out by this
exclusive academy, sat on the
senior fence tonight and ponder
ed over the future.
Rciwnrd—who is known to the
V/' i-Ul outside as Alabama Pitts—
played his last foot-ball game for
hii l ima mater today. Next June
4. he will be graduated summa
(tm laude, with a ten dollar suit
rrd '.-ith five bucks in cash.
ill' will come out the most fam
ous jail bird athlete in Ameiicav
In the cool Quiet of the institu
tion, surrounded by its tall spiked
walls he reflected rather sadly
u»^on the reputation he had ac
quired.
I’d kindn like to shuck off this
Alabama name,” he admitted. “I’d
like to be just plain Edward CoW
lins.”
It was no outpouring of modes
ty. Alabama Pitts is a shy young
man, tall and blondish, with stea
dy gray eyes. He is Sing Sing’s
model job-all-timc, all-round, all
American, all-everything. He will
leave here with a reputation but
he’d much rather leave the repu
tation.
On the night of November 23
the Louisburg Players of 1934
made their debut.The comedy “Ad
am and Eve” was presented as the
first of a series planned by the
club for this year. The entire east.
Miss Peyatt, and all those connect
ed with the play worked in such
a manner that this may be said to
be by far the best production giv
en in the school in the past four
years.
While the entire cast performed
creditably, the orchids must go to
Louise Browne for her splendid
portrayal of the character “Eve”,
'he sweet, lovable, but none the
less level-headed and business-like
niece of the Armstrongs; Miss
Browne played the part to per-
pection and had the audience on
her side from the start. We are
mxious to see that 'little girl in
another play real soon.
Buck Holder as the dashing
young author, and the rtbject of
'i.'o gills’ matrimonial plans, was
fine. He truly made the character
of Adam p.nrt of himself.
Ned was better as the earnest
voung business man than as the
idle !-on of ’:e;;!th. Mcll was spoil
ed Agneen as haughty and Stuart
as grouchy as you would expect the
.'irmstrongs to be. Wilimena was
right as the secretary that mar-
'ied the boss’ son, and no one
would want a better maid than Lu
cille.
Miss Peyatt deserves much cre
dit for the work she did in making
his truly a good production.
In one of the most delightful
social activities of the fall, the
students of L. C. Staged a “Sca-
vengei: Hunt” on the night of Nov.
17. It was not announced officially
but many of the students had been
led to believe that it was staged
to celebrate Harpo’s 18th (?) (?)
(?) (?) birthday.
The hunt led to all parts of the
campus, and to all nooks of the
buildings and Jeff and a few other
guys took trips to the water foun
tain to see what they could find.
Others found business in the his
tory room and other dark spots of
the basement. It was the first
time of the year that such trips
have been legal at night and the
Thanksgiving
Banquet Enjoyed
By Students
The most enjoyable occasion
of the season was the Thanksgiv
ing banquet which was held on
last Tuesday evening in the Col
lege dining hall. The room was
beautifully decorated, and an ap
propriate, color scheme was car
ried out which gave a very effec
tive background.
During the evening the guests
were entertained by various mem
bers of the student body and facul
ty. A toast to the students and
faculty members was given by
Fred Hoyle, president of the Jun
ior class, which was very unique

game was over the Cardinals had
been crushed by a score of 37 to

Cardinals since they were organiz

The only threat that the Cardi
nals presented during the opening
minutes of play was when they
carried the ball to the Trojans’ 20
yard stripe where they were held
for downs. From this point the
Trojans carried the ball 80 yards
to the first score of the day. Ev

Who’s Who
Folks, the girl who gets the
caU for this week, is none other
than t,ba‘ star of the stage,
Louise Browne. Just nineteen
years ago the 26th of last
month Miss Browne was born in
the thriving business metropo
lis of Hollister, N. C. By the
way, that happened to be on
Thanksgiving day. I should say
we are! Aurelian Springs High
Sfhool was the scene of her
early triumphs, for it was
there that she developed those
dran'.atic talents. She graduat
ed in 1933 and the fall of that
year found her a student at
dear old L. C. She appeared in
several dramatic productions
last year and at the close of the
term was elected president of
the Players for this year.
Miss Browne’s winning per
sonality has won her a host of
friends who will never forget
that charming smile or sweet
disposition. Louise is a pledge
to the Sigma Iota Chi sorority.
