"that He must rise again from the
dead” all depart sorrowfully for
their homes except Mary Magda
lene.
Mary Magdalene goes to the
tomb, and looking in sees two An
gels sitting on the bier, one at the
head and one at the foot. As she
turns to depart, she hears a voice
saying “Woman, why weepest
thou"”’ She answers, “Because they
have taken my Lord away, and I
know not where they have laid
Him.” The voice says “Mary.” She
responds unto Him “Rabboni:
which is to say Master.”
Then Mary Magdalene departs to
go to tell the disciples that she has
seen the risen Lord, that He has
spoken to her, but they do not
believe her. However the eleven
disciples decide to go to the moun
tain in Galilee where Jesus had
told them to go. There He spoke
unto them:
“All power is given unto me in
heaven and earth. Go ye therefore
and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost; teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I hav« com
manded you, and lo, I am with you
always, even unto the end of the
world.”
Christian Vocations
Conference
• (Continued from Page 1)
Christian way of life because it is
the most practical life that there is.
You are everything that ever
touched you; therefore, you will
be your environment.”
One of the feature attractions at
the conference was the Louisburg
College Sextet directed by Miss
Sarah Foster. The sextet was com
posed of Sue Manning, Bob Ken
nedy, Jeanette Yates, Betty Lou
Brown, and William Salder. They
sang Friday evening in the sanc
tuary of the church.
Sunday morning service was
held by Dr. Arthur Kale of Duke
University. He took the place of
Bishop Paul N. Garber who was
scheduled to speak; but, due to too
full a schedule, he could not be
present. One statement made by
Dr. Kale that is worthy of men
tion is, “St. Paul’s life was great
because it was controlled and ded
icated to Christ.”
The students from Louisburg
were Helen Elizabeth Broome,
Jackie Farrow, Lucy Burgess, Paul
Bunn, Lorine Smith, John Joyner,
Hugo Hodgin; and, also, Miss Mary
Bethea and Fern Tharrington were
there part of the time.
'ONE FATAL DRINK'
The Dramatic Club met in the
College auditorium Tuesday night, j
April 7, 1953. The president, Miss
Ann Mann, presided over the meet
ing.
Also the guest for the evening
was introduced by Miss Ruth
Merritt who is the sponsor of the
club.
The guest was Mrs. W. M. Jolly
of Louisburg. Mrs. Jolly presented
a short story that she had com
posed during her college days. The
title of Mrs. Jolly’s story was The
Fatal Drink.
The story was of a doctor who
thought that there was no harm in
drinking at parties, being he was
off duty; and he said that he never
got calls to go to hospital that late
at night. So, he proceeded to drink
one too many; and he had to go to
bed because this one had made
him drunk. This did not make any
difference because his wife had
gone to a party; so he figured that
he would be sober before she came
home.
As the doctor was dropping off
to sleep, the telephone rang. It was
a call from the hospital wanting
him to come at once for an emer
gency operation. The doctor did
not think that he was in the con
dition to perform an emergency
operation, but he could not turn
this down, it might ruin his repu
tation.
When he entered the hospital,
the nurse told him that they had
everything ready for him to begin
his operation. With trembling
hands he began his fatal opera
tion. By his being drunk the per
son did not recover from the op
eration.
As the doctor turned from the
operating table and took off his
mask, he recognized the person
whom he had killed to be his own'j
wife. He knew then that he had
killed his own wife by taking one^
fatal drink.

The second year French class

leron. The group left early in the ^

Game Room Organized
One of the new additions to the
college is the game room located
in the back of Main. The game
room was organized by Mr. A. G.
Cowart and several of the students.
The purpose was that many of the
students lost interest in going to
the social where they could only
dance. Since some people do not
like to dance, Mr. Cowart thought
it would be a good idea to organize
a room to play games in.
The first night the game room
was opened, a large crowd show
ed up. Some people played ping-
pong, some danced, and some play
ed card games. Everyone seemed
to enjoy themselves. The game
room will be a big success if the
students co-operate with each oth
er and try to make it a success.
Why Go to Church?

road to travel; but, also, these missionaries have had quite a
bit of help from the African. Once the African accepts Christ,
he is willing to stick by Him throughout all his days, and he
attends church with a much more humble mind than most Amer
icans.
Contrast these points with the opportunities which the
American people have and how well the American takes advantage
of his opportunity. J. F. J.

Alpha Pi Epsilon
The first meeting of the Al
pha Pi Epsilon for the year 1953
was held on April 8 for the pur
pose of electing officers for the
organization and discussing the
annual banquet.
The club decided to hold its
banquet on May 6 at Buck Over
ton’s in Rocky Mount. Only the im
mediate members and their guests
will be present. The guest speaker
for the banquet will be Mr. C. Ray
Pruette of Franklinton.
'New officers elected for the or
ganization were as follows:
Marvin Baugh, President; Rob
ert Stainback, Vice-President; Eve
lyn Rae Harris, Secretary-Treasur-
er.
The aid rendered at the meet
ing by Mrs. Schrul, the sponsor,
was greatly appreciated.
Marvin “Bud” Jordan
Who is it that can be seen tak
ing pictures of aU these pretty
girls at any uncertain time? The
same person that takes shots of the
ball players for a hobby. Why does
this fellow go around snapping
everything in sight? Well, he is
none other than the editor of The
Oak, Marvin “Bud” Jordan; and
he is getting snapshots for' the
annual. He has really put in the
hours trying to get out an annual
that everyone can be proud of here
in Louisburg. Sh! but the annual
is supposed to be here soon.
Besides being editor of The Oak,
Marvin is a member of Sigma Pi
Alpha and Beta Phi Gamma. He
has been considered an excellent
musician too. Too bad that Louis
burg hasn’t a music fraternity. He
is always prepared to play a gui
tar, banjo, or mandolin; and he
loves hillbilly music. Everyone
who heard his show in the audi
torium realizes that Marvin has a
lot of musical ability.
Although Marvin has excelled in
all these activities such as jour
nalism and music, he plans to fur
ther his education in mathematics
so that he may become a mathe
matician. He has always enjoyed
workijig with figures. His plans
for next year are to transfer to
the University of North Carolina
and while there major in math
and minor in journalism. He will
surely make his goal because he
has the power to discipline him
self properly. When he says that
he is going to complete a task, he
completes it without letting some
trivial desires interfere with his
work. In other words, Marvin has
the capacities to learn and the self-
control necessary to ensure him of
gaining wisdom. He is extremely
willing to cooperate with anyone
until his rights are infringed upon.
Marvin was in the Army for a
short while before coming to
Louisburg; he claims that the Army
can make a man out of anything.
When sports are mentioned,
Marvin is there. He has been on
the baseball team for two years
and also the manager of the bas
ketball team this year. Sports is
his greatest physical enjoyment.
Well, these last few words
should be added. “Bud” has been
an outstanding flower seller for
Robertson’s Florist, and he is vice-
president of the student council.
In his spare time, he operates the
movie projectgr at the downtown
theatre. Marvin is an all-round fel
low with good moral standards.
Well, I made it back again! I
imagine everyone is happy about
being back from their spring hol
idays. Everyone might groan about
being back, but we should always
look on the bright side of life. For
instance, now that we are back,
we are closer to the time when we
will be getting our summer vaca
tions.
Someone asked me the other day
what my pet “gripes” in life were.
Well, folks, I have three. I do not
like Texans who cannot remember
that there are forty-seven other
states in the Union; nor do I like
folks who cannot remember that
the civil war (war between the
states) is over; and, last, those
folks who always want their way.
I knew a girl once who really had
her way. In fact, she always wrote
her diary two weeks in advance!
Still, she would meet anyone half
way — she would admit she was
wrong, if you would admit she was
right.
Seems as if there is a new Indian
club or something around the
campus. Everywhere I go, I see all
the boys running around with
“crew cuts,” red faces, and blister
ed noses. What’s going on? Maybe
summertime is really on its way.
Come what may, one thing is sure;
spring is here; this is the time of
year when all the automobile tops
come down and shirt sleeves and
prices go up. Speaking pi prices, I
heard a fellow referring to money.
What is money? “Money is his;
money is hers; a thing to throw
away or burn; the very trash in my
pocket.” Naturally, he was refer
ring to Confederate money!
(Ouch!)
I was reading recently The
Moody Monthly Magazine, and I
came upon a poem which I thought
was beautiful. I have passed it
along to you in this issue of Col
umns. I hope you will read it and
take the meaning of the poem to
heart. The title . . . “This God
Can Do.”
Well folks, I gotta go now. Last
time I signed my full name; so
everyone knows me by now. There
fore, I’ll sign only my last name
this time. —X

p. m. in the faculty parlor. The
six new members — Paul Bunn,
Turk Morrisette, Bob Kennedy,
Sue Manning, Marvin Baugh, nad
Liby Broome — were initiated by
the two old members, Phyllis Bai
ley and Marvin Jordan. Miss Ruth

journalism supervisor, was an in
vited guest.
After the initiation ham and bis
cuits, deviled eggs, pickles and
olives, peanuts, potato chips, and
coffee were served. The club would
like to thank Phyllis’ mother for
her efforts in preparing such de
licious and greatly appreciated
food.
