Four COLUMNS Thursday, March 25, 1954 WHO'S WHO “A broad smile, A friendly ‘Hello,’ Sums the boy we all know.” Paul Childers comes to us from Goldsand High School, and he has proved his place here on the cam pus. He is a friend to everyone that will be a friend to him. When he goes to your room to ask about an assignment, he will ju.st sit right down to talk. Paul believes that you have to speak to be heard. Speaking of having to be heard, Paul does not have to talk. He can be seen through his activities. He is the active president of the men’s Student Government. The boys on the Council speak of Paul in a high manner. He is liked by all his members for his wonderful co operation with them. He had a part in the major production last year, played baseball, and partici pated in the intramural sports. He was outstanding in the intramural games. Paul’s helping hand can be seen in the work going on around the campus. He is willing to help in any way possible. Just ask, and if possible he will be there. When you need a friend to bring you out of the dumps, Paul is the one to call on. He can always af ford a good laugh to cheer you up. Everyone loves to listen to a certain girl on the campus talk because of her old English accent. Jackie Farrow hails from Waves, N. C., which is about the only place that people talk like their English forefathers. Jackie graduated as valedictorian of her class at Cape Hatteras High School and certain ly has not relinquished her enthu siasm for scholastic work here at Louisburg. However, Jackie is act ive in many other ways. During her first year she served as House President of the Woman’s Student Government, Secretary of the Jun ior Class, and was a member of the Dramatics Club. When selecting the Student Council for the pres ent school year, her friends voted her in as vice-president, Jackie has been active in the “Y” serv ing on the cabinet, is a member of Phi Theta Kappa of which she is secretary, and is a member of the 1954 May Court. Jackie’s friendliness and help fulness are characterized by her actions for she is always ready to help in any way possible. Her good humor, willingness to help, friendly smile and sincerity will surely help her continue to win friends in the future as she has won them here at Louisburg Col lege for her warm personality en dears her to the hearts of all who know her. Good News Guess what! When it rains at L.C. now, we don’t have to hop and skip over the mud puddles. We have four new walks on which to tread, thanks to diligent workers. Now when a squire calls for his date, he doesn’t have to worry about his brand new shine job being dusty. In other words, he can arrive just as “spruced up” as he was when he left his abode. Young ladies can walk much more dignifiedly across the campus on these shining strips of concrete and don’t have to worry about walking carefully in their high- heeled shoes. These walks really have im proved the appearance of our cam pus, and they will make a better impression on visitors than did the former dirt thoroughfore. When spring comes and green appears, when flowers begin to bloom, then the new walks will truly be in a perfect setting. DENNIS RADIO SALES and SERVICE 203 Court Street LOUISBURG WALKS FINISHED (Continued from Page 1) served coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies at ten o’clock one night to those who were still working. Many student workers, includ ing those mentioned above, work ed faithfully for long hours. Changes other than the new walks will soon become appar ent in the landscape. New grass is now being planted in front of the buildings and new shrubs are expected to add to the appearance of the campus. The fertilizer for use on the lawn was donated by Mr. Julius Timberlake, Jr., and Mr. W. S. Hobbs. Right to the Point [ A gentle Quaker, hearing a ! strange noise at 1 a. m., got up and I discovered a burglar busily at work. Getting his gun he came back and stood quietly in the door way. “Friend,” he said, “I would do thee no harm for the world, but thou standest right where 1 am about to shoot.”—Sandra Herndon, Progressive Farmer WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE April h 1954 Muscle McKee's Monsters Win! New Dormitory Planned A committee met on March 11 to consider blueprint designs of the boys’ new dormitory to be con structed. After a long period of debating, the committee decided on a building as shown above. The building will be erected at the south side of Franklin Dormi tory. It is expected to take all of the vacant land owned by the Col lege for the building. The build ing will have 989 rooms complete with showers and lavatories. The windows and doors are to be ope rated by electric push buttons. Fluorescent lights will cast their ultra-modern rays all over the room. Each room will be equipped with an electric calculator and typewriter for speedier work so that there will be more leisure time for the students. An escalator will be operated at each end of the building; also on each hall there will be a convey or for the students’ modern con venience. For visitors an up-to- date lounge equipped with televis ion and concession stand will be provided. The basement of the building will contain a swimming pool and a recreation room for handball, badminton, shuffleboard, and several pool tables. The committee is consulting sev eral construction companies for an estimate on the cost of construc tion. As soon as the committee has completed its work, the construc- I tion will begin. Faculty Makes Decision A new day is dawning for L. C. students! For some time now, the faculty has been holding pri vate meetings trying to figure out new ways to improve the stand ards of our college and at the same time arrange the class work in such a way that it would not work hardships upon the students or interfere with their pursuit of happiness. They feel that it would be wonderful indeed if they could make changes that would give the, students so much incentive to work that no one would make less than a “C” average in the last semester of the school year. In the beginning they thought that they might offer courses that would not be as difficult as those being offered now, but after think ing the matter over, they decided that this would handicap the trans fer student. Realizing that a happy student who is under no nervous strain learns better, they finally found a way to completely remove all anxiety and unhappiness from every student’s mind and send him or her to class ready and able to travel inward in the field of higher learning. From now on The Louisburg wrestling team, i under the able coaching of Mr. Mc Kee, won a clean sweep over their All-Star opponents at Madi son Square Garden in New York last Saturday night. The All-Star coach pitted Gorgeous Gorge against “Tweety Bird” Parrish; Chief Don Eagle against Tiger Scull; Premo Camera against Bare-foot-boy' Nance; and in the main event, which was the Aus tralian tag team match, Gene Stan- -ley and Man Mountain Masingil against Bone Crusher Alford and Powderpuff Turner. In the first bout Parish won easily by countering Gorge’s dou- ble-scissor lock with his famous “Wing Crusher.” After some violent action in the second bout. Chief Don Eagle wanted to smoke the peace pipe; but due to the fact that Tiger Scull doesn’t like tobacco. Chief Don Eagle broke the pipe over the refe ree’s head. This made the Chief very annoyed, both at Tiger and the referee for allowing his head to be used as a hammer. While the referee and the Indian were scrap ping over the broken pipe. Tiger Scull leaped and pinned his man with a fang grip. In the next bout Camera was soon convinced that he could no longer box by leaving himself open for Nance’s Kangaroo Kick. In the main event Man Moun- I j tain Masingil was smothered by [ Powderpuff Turner, and Gene i Stanley was trapped in the ropes after Bone Crusher Alford gave there will never be a quiz at L.

Landscaping‘and Renovation Project If all plans go through that are ’ under consideration at the time, i students returning to L. C. next j September will be greeted by a ^ panorama of beauty. Gone will be the cherished oak trees, and re placing them will be a rolling green lawn bordered with one of every shrub that grows in the “good old North State.” The planning committee finally decided with regret to dispose of the oak trees that have graced the campus so long. It seems that due to age the trees have become so decayed in the heart of the trees that they are no longer safe in a wind storm. Slight renovations are being planned for some of the buildings also. The four white columns gracing the front of the main building are to be removed and re placed by six sturdy cedar posts. These posts are to be obtained soon. Mr. Holton suggested that the boys who so efficiently secured the posts for the tennis court be placed on a committee to get the six massive posts to replace the columns.
