Four Wright Dorm News Sunday, January 1, Wright Dorm watched silently as girls returned after Christmas holidays. Sunday night was spent chatting over things that happened back home. Needless to say, we even told our roommates we were glad to see them. The excitement finally died down and we got serious about exams. They kept the dorm pret ty quiet for three weeks. Every one had to get in that last min ute cramming. Now that exams are over and the second semes ter has begun, Wright Dorm will be the same old place. Plenty of fun for everyone. Wright Dorm will be the new home for five new students this semester. They are: Elizabeth and Mildred Troutman (twins), Con nie Taylor, Lucy Chapman, and Pat Garrell. We sincerely hope these girls find Wright Dorm as hospitable as we have. We also hope these girls find the cam pus life at Louisburg most enjoy able. Were you one of the persons in volved in the fight last week? Many of the girls were using rub bing alcohol for the bruises caused by the fight that took place over the entire campus. We don’t know why the boys decided to fight us, but mother nature had an important role since the fight was with snowballs. The girls got quite a kick out of being snowballed and rolled in the snow. One .girl got a free sled ride down the driveway, thanks to the boys who pushed her. In all sincerity though, the scene was beautiful as we looked out the dorm and saw the trees laden with snow and the cam pus a beautiful, clean white. Pajamas seem to be a pretty hard item to keep up with in the dorm. If they’re not in one place, they’re in another. Usually un der the mattress. Many of the girls are looking forward to the rat man’s visit. Seems we have quite a few girls who are deathly afraid of rats. For example: One girl found a lit tle mouse under her cover one night. With one loud scream she had help. There may not be but a few mice here, but they certainly do make the rounds. Seems they visit nearly every room every night. When the girl screams and jumps into a chair, the little mouse quickly sees he’s not wanted and makes his way out, silently and quickly. Betty Haithcock, Nancy Flow, and Annette Hart were elected as Junior Representatives to the Stu dent Council. We hope these girls will do a good job. Since school started in Septem ber, two of our girls have gotten married. Janie Chandler was mar ried on October 28. The weekend of January 28 found Janis Forrest in Durham exchanging vows with her husband to be. Janis plans to live in the dorm the rest of the Construction Is Delayed on Plant Construction on the new central heating plant has been delayed, chiefly because of bad weather, and the prediction that the plant would be in use by the last of January has been altered. It is hoped, however, that construction can be resumed and speedily completed. The heating plant is located to the south side of the gymnasium. The construction was started the week of September 12. It is another of the physical im provements on the campus during the last two years which will be very beneficial to the people who live on the campus. Of the many benefits from this plant probably two will be wel comed most enthusiastically by the student body: automatically regu lated heat throughout the winter and a plentiful supply of hot wa ter at all times. The estimated cost of this build ing and equipment is $135,000. The building will have a boiler room, which will contain one new boiler and the old boiler which is in use now. It will have a coal storage room with a capacity of six carloads of coal. It also will have a bath equipped with show ers. The chimney which is built of radical bricks will be 110 feet high. The plant is built to accom modate twice the number of stu dents presently enrolled in school. A Genuine "Winter Wonderland" Even the excitement of mid term exams was overshadowed by the snow which we had during that week. The snow began to fall around ten-thirty on Monday night of the twenty-third; in a few hours everything outdoors wore a lovely cap of white! The girls were prisoners of Wright Dorm at the time, so they could only peep from their win dows and watch the men from Franklin Dorm cavort in the ’’win ter wonderland.” But “every dog has his day”— the ground was still covered with snow when the girls came out to enjoy it on Tuesday morning. And, until the last bit of snow melted, snowballs flew thick and fast on the Louisburg campus! That snow was the heaviest of the year, but everyone scans the blue-gray skies each day for any sign of a new snow-storm, even greater than the last. No matter how one views the situation, the joy always seems to outweigh the discomfort caused by a snow! CO^LUM^S New Year Wishes There are so many things I would like to acquire during the new year. I will settle for the following: Gus Patronis’: ability to sing “Lady of Spain” and his courte ous laugh at jokes. Don Sizemore’s: quiet easy way of getting along with everyone. Doris Cochrane’s: ability to work so hard and still make hun dreds on her New Testament His tory. Swayn Hamlet’s: ability to cheerlead, act, and even teach zoology. Sara Faucette’s: ability to sing like a bird and look like an angel while doing so. Jean Jackson’s: pleasant smile for everyone, and her talent. Rose Manning’s: charming per sonality. Myrt Pierce’s: ability to dissect frogs and roll her eyes at the same time. Henry Gum’s: ability to wolk up and down the halls saying, ‘I have just got to study.” and still get good marks. Not only that, but I would like to have pretty wavy hair just like Rerun’s. Carl Stubbs’: ability to drive his car on empty all of the time. A1 Schmitt’s: ability to be so kind, considerate, understanding, and while doing so have such a cute grin. Andy Allen’s: ability to fall in love at least once a year. Carey Rice’s: ability to look neat all of the time and be so thought ful of others. Lonnie Ballance’s: ability to ' give Mrs. House his complete at- 1 tention in history and always have I a smile. 1 Percy Ferrell’s: ability to do the Bunnie Hop. Earl Merritt’s: ability to study hard and really learn something while doing so. Irene Frazier’s: cute and sweet ways. Joyce K. Weather’s: plans for the future. Vera Wright’s: personality and pretty shape. Nina Griffin’s: ability to re ceive twenty pictures for one dol lar. Nina Oakley’s: ability to work and get good marks on tests. Most of all I want a faith so strong that just by talking to some one they will see the true way I live. I want to be a Christian, not only on Sunday, but every day of my life. I want God to continue I helping me make all of my deci- I sions because I have found I through my own experiences that I with God at your side you will never go wrong. Friday, February 17, 1956 PERSONALITY CORNER TOM WALLACE BARBARA BUNN Tom Wallace is a senior from Cerro Gordo, North Carolina. Af ter graduation from high school he attended King’s Business Col lege in 1949-50. The next three years were spent in travel by Tom, for he served this time with Uncle Sam in the U. S. Air Force. Most of this time — July ’51 to Novem ber '53 — was spent in Europe. Discharge, however, did not end Tom’s travels; last year he came up to Louisburg and retoured Europe with Mr. Gretter in Eu ropean history. A week would not be complete in Wright Dorm unless Tom’s voice semester. Janie and her husband are living in one of the college apartments. May both these girls find happiness that will last for ever in their new life. As this the seicond semester rolls on, we in Wright Dorm wish you success and happiness in what ever you do. See you later, alligator! Rose Woodard JUNIOR OFFiaRS (Continued from Page 1) Charlene Fox, secretary; Peggy Holt, reporter.

Have you ever heard of anyone sleeping through a hurricane? Bar bara Bunn can tell you that she has because she did just that last year when Hazel swept our cam pus. There hasn’t been much time for this tall, neat, blonde to en gage in such a pleasant pastime because she is almost always busy working on your annual or pre paring to get her degree in busi ness. In addition to editing The Oak she is vice president of the Women’s Student Government, a member of the Monogram Club and of F. B. L. A. Barbara is from Louisburg, and she attended Bunn High School where she was active in sports and scholastic organizations. She is the only child of Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Bunn. During her first year at Louis burg she played guard on the girls’ basketball team, was a member of the May Court, the Beta Phi Gamma Fraternity, the Commercial Club, and The Oak Staff. was heard over the speaker, “Bring your dirty clothes on your way to the Dope Shoppe.” Yes, Tom is known as the dry clean ing boy all over the campus. He is also business manager of “The Oak,” and a member of the Y. M. C. A. and F.B.L.A. As Tom’s cheerfulness and pleasing personality have grown in the hearts of fellow-students and faculty at L. C., we hope it will continue to grow as he con tinues his studies in business ad ministration at East Carolina. For saving or trying to save life, 165 Boy Scouts were honored in one year for heroism by the Na tional Court of Honor of the or ganization. As Others See It (Continued from Page 2) parties?

(Tee Hee) Anne Edens: I don’t like them! If people would stay here, they would not only make better grades, but they could sit up here and be lonesome with the rest of us. Evi dently, everybody goes home to date! “Chick” Turner: Let me list them (the improvements) : (1) Give the girls later permission on Saturday night. (2) Give the girls later permission on Saturday night. (3) Give the girls later permission on Saturday night. Jim Womble: The only thing wrong with my weekends is that they’re just not long enough!
