Page Four COLUMNS October 31, 1952 WHO’S WHO AT LOUISBURG Ed Driver Laura Lynn Horton Ed Driver j Edwin Driver doesn’t need a for- ] mal introduction to the readers of j this paper; he is well-known to! every person on the college cam- 1 pus. Personality and the love of j life make Ed the likeable person I he is. Ed was born July 8, 1932, in Franklin County. Mr. and Mrs. Grover Driver are his parents, and he has one younger sister. Prior to coming to Louisburg, he attend ed Bunn High School where he took the part of a leader in all activities. Louisburg College was next in line on his school list, and he entered LC in the fall of 1951, taking up a Liberal Arts course. Ed has been a member of the Glee Club and International Relations Club; he is President of the Men’s Student Council and works down town in the afternoons. After fin ishing his studies here, Ed plans to transfer to State College and study Industrial Arts. To hear him talk, one gets the impression he wants to become a famous scient ist. We all are rooting for you, Ed— GOOD LUCK! Dean of Men (Continued from Page 1) termined to obtain an education. The following September, 1948, he enrolled at Louisburg College, graduating with • a little better than a B average. Only a few short weeks had elapsed before he en rolled in East Carolina Teachers’ College at Greenville, N. C. Two years later, our Dean was award ed a B. S. degree and immediate ly started graduate work leading towards a degree in Master of Arts which is to be received this sum mer. He taught part of last year at Chicoal in Pitt County. Mrs. Co wart taught the third grade there the same year. His Chemistry and Physics teacher, Mr. Pruette, influenced him to enter in the teaching field; although he doesn’t know it. Dean and Mrs. Cowart occupy the same apartment now they did when he was a student here. In case any one is interested in giving him a supper, his favorite foods are barbecue and oysters. Although this is his first year of teaching here at Louisburg, he has been a great influence to all the students. We have grown to like him not only as a wonderful teacher and friend, but a great inspirational leader to all here on the campus. TWO BIG DAYS In our schedule here at Louis burg College, we have set Tues-! day and Friday aside for our chap el programs. On Tuesdays we have a religious program, and on Fri days we have different types of programs. On Tuesday, September 16, 1952, our religious instructor, Mr. Mc Kee, brought us a very good mes sage. He talked to us about daily meditation and devotional read ing. This message was a most in teresting one; and one which will help us a great deal, if we gath er the contents. Mr. McKee pointed out daily de votional reading was essential in any Christian life. He said that each young person should set aside time each day to read devotional material. All other activities should cease during this time. He asked us to read a Biblical passage each day, think about it for a while, then end with a short prayer. He pointed out that such a quiet time each day could easily mean the dif ference between the growth and stagnation of one’s Christian life. This message, as I said before was very good and was enjoyed by all. Much can be gained if we abide by this daily devotional reading and meditation. Laura Horton Laura Lynn Horton is well known on the Louisburg College Campus for her willingness to help one in need and for her pleasant personality. Laura has many friends in Bunn North Car olina, as well as here in Louis burg. She has such a quiet manner that one would never know that she is president of the Women’s Student Government. Laura’s helper on the Council is Betsy Ann Everette. Primary Education will be Lau ra’s major at East Carolina Col lege, Here, she is a Liberal Arts Student. She enjoys most of her subjects and tackles her work with an open mind. Let’s give I,aura a word of con gratulations for her achievements this year. We are all pulling for Laura in every ask that she meets. No one deserves recognition any more than one who can greet any one with a friendly gesture. JOKES The second floor tenant called the party below and shouted, “If you don’t stop playing that blasted saxophone, I’ll go crazy!” ‘‘I guess it’s too late.” came the reply. “I stopped an hour ago.” Harvey Has Returned Who is Harvey? Many of the new students may ask this question. Harvey is the college handyman. He has been working for the col lege a long time. Harvey is friendly and also has proved him self a good worker. Year before last, however, Har vey met with misfortune. He was cleaning the elevator in the cafe teria with gas and as he moved he fell. The result was very painful. The gas in the stoves had united with the gas Harvey was using. This gas quickly spread over him and burned him severely. He was hospitalized for many months. This year Harvey is back again. We hope that he will be with us for many more years to come and will continue to be our friend. Warrenton Minister Is Chapel Speaker We were very fortunate to have as our guest speaker in chapel Tuesday, October 7, Reverend Seymour, Baptist minister, who held revival in the Louisburg Bap tist Church. Rev. Seymour’s topic was “Fron tiers.” He said that the frontiers of tomorrow lie in the spiritual realm. Now we cannot say the frontier is here in any definite area, but it is expanding so rapidly that one cannot find the end; therefore, we must strive to set our goals farther than we can reach.

Upon the front four lovely columns Pointing straight into the sky. Pointing up and to perfection— A perfect symbol for the bold. I saw a hundred acorns Split open; and from out Came a hundred mighty oak trees— Tall, majestic, and straight— Mighty oaks with faultless arms Arching high as if in prayer Or bending gently to the ground In submissive humility. They were on holy ground. Then came six generations— Grandparents, mothers, fathers— And after them the long, long, lines Of all their countless children. Each with purpose on his face. Young maidens, gay with youth fulness, And vigorous boys, with ardor For the tasks that lay ahead. From all their throats Came forth a mighty song A mighty song, which roused my soul And brought back memories; “Alma Mater, sheltering college. Thou hast been our guiding frier^d.” And within that group I seemed to see My mother, young and gayer Than all the rest that day. Her cheek was an apple blossom. And I heard her sing with joy: “Stand, old college, Alma Mater; Through the changing years abide.” Then the multitude of people Went up upon a seat Of heavy granite, massive steps. And into an open door Was ever opened wide For future generations To come and there abide. Next came a mumbled sound from in. Of French and Latin verbs; Of Shelly, Keats, and Milton; Of Villon and Hugo; Of Lowell, Poe and Whitman; Of Moses, Paul and John— Read by classes filled with fer vent zeal For knowledge of the best; There was the sound of formula And elements combined— These were the sounds of learning Coming through an open door. And then it seemed I clearly saw Time come down, and leaves Upon the trees floated gently to the ground. Making there a soft brown carpet For man to walk upon. The birds flew south, And the snow came down Enclosing all within— A little coat of loveliness— And then the rains came down. Now there was the smell of burn ing leaves And freshness of cool green; The birds came back again And filled the air with song. Thus came the seasons, And thus they went again. They came and went; They came and went until the bricks grew mellow, And the trees grew big with age. Ever was the sound of hammer. The swish of brush and saw; And the columns stood Straight, clean, and tall— A symbol for the brave. Ever came the sound of laughter And the buzz of busy man. During war it was most silent. But, when came joy and peace, It reached a mighty tempo— The crescendo of a symphony, The tones of sacred music. The wind came from the Atlas— I stirred and woke from sleep, And far below the sea beat hard And lashed upon the beach. It seemed it sang an old refrain. That song I love so well: Stand Old College, Franklin-Wright News Braxton and Pete are pretty popular at the post office, since they receive so many packages! Louise B., why does the book store appeal to you? Are you inter ested in books or ? We hear that Frances H. and Dorothea have been having out- of-town friends call on them. I do not mean girl friends either! Rodney, you like to make be lieve, don’t you? Patricia, how do you like Nor- lina? Jackie, who is this interest of yours from Cr d or? Jimmie, who is this local inter est of yours? Did Hugh beat your time the night of the Scavanger Hunt? Bob Kennedy, who is the better dancer; the day student or the boarding student? Say Frederick R., what kind of a telephone call did you get from Greenville some nights ago? Who did the “red ckevrolet” carry home the other night? I bet Bill Massengill knows Wright dormitory telephone num ber by heart. What about it Bill? Frederick, how does it feel to be tied to the bed? Fern, who do you have your eye on? Could it be someone from War ren or Halifax County? Ellen, you seem to enjoy your Typing classes! Frederick, why does O’Neal drug store appeal to you? Jack and Julian, which drug store do you like best? Tillie, you had better watch out! Betty T., come on and have a heart! Don’t break his heart!

Bill Massengill, whose ring did you say you had.? Betty T., what about Duke? Stand Old College, Stand Old College,, strong and great!” The seagull floated high above Above in the blue, blue sky, And called its shrieking mating call To its mate somewhere beyond; But I heard it indistinctly— My thoughts were far away: There was a tear of pride upon my cheek. And with the waves of the medi terranean I sang the old refrain: “Stand old college, Alma Mater; Through the changing years abide!” Louisburg Dry Cleaners Billy Merritt Darwin Evans Representatives Quality Dry Cleaners Riley Godly Representative
