C., NOVEMBER 3. Number 1 HOME-COMING IN LIMELIGHT AS ALUMNI REUNITE Hobgood I o Speak Missionary from Algiers Visits Louisburg Miss Margaret Briggs, a native of Iowa and recently missionary in Algiers, North Africa, spoke to the Louisburg College student body at chapel hour Oct. 5 and was a guejt of the college Cct. 4, 5. In her chapel talk she described her first trip to Africa when she had visions of going on a luxurious ocean liner. She actually took th;,- voyage on an unconverted troop transport. She told of her new ex- l ejience of seeing the navigator’L bridge and the map room. Miss Briggs emphasized the fac.; thac it should be important to American young people what the young people in Africa are doing. She continued by saying that mosi of the people in Algiers are Mos lems and that young Moslems dv not attend school. Miss Briggs said that in the Moslem faith there was a belief that man should legally own his v>ife and children. She mentioned that Moslems marry at an early age. She told of the marriage broker who came to examine every girl before marriage to see whether the girl was eligible for marriage. If the girl qualified, she was usually bought by some young man’s family. Several storiej were told to illustrate these cus toms. In conclusion Miss Briggs ga"e some ways to enrich Christian liv ing. Three of these ways to live better Christian lives were to try to strengthen individual lives, to strengthen the Christian commun ity, and to give self, means, and influence in Christian service. Here We Are - - Almost In Miss Powers Becomes Teacher of Sunday School Class Miss Judy Powers of St. Pauls, assistant home agent of Franklin County and graduate of Flora Mac donald College, is teacher of the recently reorganized college Sunday School Class. This class meets at the Louisburg Methodist Church each Sunday morning at 10 o’clock. Class elections were held Sun day, Oct. 1, and the following peo ple now hold offices: Sidney Epper son, president; Eula Hux, vice- r> e 1 an I Chri ine Johnson, secretary-treasurer. There is at present an enrollment of 18 mem bers. The college class last year was taught by Mr. Bowers who is now teaching a local class of young married couples. Each Sunday morning immedi ately before the class session, £ brief worship service is held, usual ly led by students of the college, sometimes by members of the local class of Mrs. E. F. Thomas. Religious Drama Presented By Y Various ways of attending church service was the theme of the one-act ’ 1 friven by the Y Oct. 5, and por traying what is thought to be in the minds of some people who regard going to church only a duty. Some examples of personalities included in the play were the woman who V as planning a dinner party for her friends and the lady who was criticizing her neighbor’s clothes. Weaving through the background were the calm, dreamy strains of Bach’s “Adoramus Te.” These fac tors blended together made an in teresting program. m > *mp» Louisburg College student leaders for 1950-51 are shown at entrance of new gymnasium: left to right in lower picture—Eula Hux, president, YWCA; Robert Linville, president.

Fashion Show Pre sented By Y and Drama Clubs The Dramatics Club, Delta Psi Omega fraternity, and the YWCA- YMCA together sponsored a fashion show with Mrs. Quin Davies Meyer as narrator in Mills High School Auditorium on Tuesday, Oct. 17, at 8:00 p. m. The part of the dreamer was por trayed by Carol Drake, who repre sented a girl joyously planning a week end on a college campus and dreaming of the varied array of collegiate outfits to be seen. Marietta Jolliff gave a humor ous monologue, “Seeing a Style Show From Behind a Post,” by Lu cille Crites. It presented a woman disturbed because she was missing some of the show, partly because she was not tall enough “to see over a post fastened into the ceil ing.” A girls’ quartet composed of Nancy Boone, Rebecca Boone, Edith Turner, and Juanita Wood sang “Sentimental Journey.” Adding to the musical entertainment was a male quartet — Angelo Capparella, Sidney Epperson, Willis Goodrum, and Blaney Lee, who sang a Duke and a Carolina song. From Mary Danridge Derlin’s Dancing School Misc Sarnh Br^wn, Miss Jean Eagles, and Miss Helen Mason entertained with two dance numbers. Jennette Miller and Pearl Grant served as costume managers for some of the nonmodeling partici pants. (Continued on Page 4) Five Added to Faculty Staff Five new members of faculty and staff come to the campus for the current year.

Mr. Williard G.

At Long Last Gym nasium Becomes Reality One year ago I stood just where I am standing now looking at the structure that the college has long awaited. When I wrote the article that came out in Columns last Nov. 29, I saw just a few steel beams rising out of some concrete sup ports. Now the gym is a living thing, equipped with a gym floor, a tage 40x25 feet, dressing rooms, ! bowers, and lounges for both men and women, men’s and women’s of fices for the directors of athletics, and a classroom 40x25 feet, als-' a separate heating plant. The build- inp’ will have a seating capacity of l.flOO. To some, writing about a gym mu=t be a cold heartless sub'ect, but to me it isn’t that way. Last ■'•ear a'; a member of the basketball team I kne'” what it was to havo practice in a cold gym; and so tViis p-vm is to me a warm, helping, friend. The eym is still just a maze of concrete, steel, and building mate- i-’als to some, but to others each I'tfle bri''''. stone and niece of steel a b"i'din'r bl''oV to the f’lt'ire took a Ion"' time to build it— ‘■rue, but now we have it, and ’t i q ^u-'litv T)'e'’e of -"'orkmanship of which to be proud.
