SIX TOWNS WANT LOUISBURG COLLEGE; OFFER MONEY, LAND Committee Appointed To Inspect Towns QUEEN OF HEARTS Rose Manning Bill Varker Junior Class Sponsors Annual Valentine Dance The Junior Class of Louisburg College held its annual Valentine’s Dance on February 11, 1956, in the Main Building of the college. Upon entering the dance hall, one beheld the beauty of the Queen of Hearts Throne at the far end of the hall. A white throne sprinkled with red hearts rested upon a green carpet. The French doors, at the entrance of the hall, were encased with a beautiful white trelis entwined with green ivy. The lamp shades were cov ered with red crepe paper which gave a Japanese Lantern effect. During intermission the candi dates for Queen of Hearts were presented as follows: Charlene Fox escorted by Craig Reid, Rose Manning with Bill Varker, Mary Leigh Hart with Ed Woodhouse, Jean Jackson with Merle Harris, Vera Wright with Gary Lloyd. Rose Manning was crowned Queen by Dr. Robbins, president of Louis burg College. After the crowning of the Queen, a closed dance was held in honor of the Queen in which only the candidates partici pated. Refreshments of lime punch, cheese straws and candy- hearts were served during inter mission. The girls in their party dresses and the boys in their dress suits danced to the orchestras of Benny Goodman, Stan Kenton, Ralph Marterie and Billy Mays—all on wax.

Rypins Visits LC Campus February 28 and 29 were two | very significant days at Louisburg j College for many of the students' who had the privilege of meeting and talking to Rabbi Frederick I. Rypins. This gracious gentleman who is the Rabbi of the Temple Emmanuel in Greensboro repre sented the Jewish Chautauqua So ciety at the college on these two days. Rabbi Rypins’ activities during his visit consisted of a talk in chapel Tuesday, February 28, on American Brotherhood and many informal discussions in the class rooms. The meaning of the pres ent day Jewish religion was the topic of discussion in Old Testa ment classes. The Rabbi presented the students in the New Testament classes a great deal of helpful in formation on the Jewish back ground for New Testament study. Other inspiring discussions were led by Rabbi Rypins in the Euro pean and American History classes and in the American Government class. On Tuesday, March 13, 1956, a meeting was held in Durham with the Bishop of the North Carolina Methodist Conference and repre sentatives of the six towns that desire to have Louisburg College . located in their respective towns. The six towns represented at the meeting were Fayetteville, Lum- berton, Kinston, Rocky Mount, Wilmington, and Louisburg. All [ except Louisburg offered from one I million to almost three million dol- i lars plus land grants to locate a iour-year coed college in their town. The Louisburg delegation, made up of Judge Hamilton Hobgood, Lawyers Lumpkin, and Jol ly, and Hill Yarborough and Ed Yarborough spoke in fa vor of making Louisburg Col lege, which is located in Louis burg, North Carolina, a four year school on the present site and pledged that Franklin County I would back the school one hun- I dred percent. A Franklin Coun ty Committee has been set up fcr obtaining additional land and fi nancial support from this area. A committee was appointed to inspect the six towns making bids on Louisburg College, in regards to what each town has to offer as tentative college sites. One town has offered as much as 200 acres, plus town facilities, it was re ported. This committee is to make a re port to the conference Long Range Planning Committee on March 27, 1956. They in turn will make a recommendation to the North Car olina Methodist Conference in re gards to the findings. No decision has been made yet, and probably will not be made in the immediate future. The one thing that hurts more than paying an income tax is not having to pay an income tax. Twenty-Four Hour Prayer Vigil Held The World Day of Prayer is tra ditionally observed by a twenty- four hour prayer vigil. The students silently and rever ently slipped into the Little Chapel at midnight on Thursday, February 16, to begin an around-the-clock prayer vigil with the partaking of the Lord’s Supper. Rev. Geo. W. Blount, pastor of Louisburg Meth odist Church and colleg^ chaplain, directed the service. Dr. C. W. Robbins, president of the college, assisted. To keep the chain from being broken, students volunteered to pray in the chapel at a certain time for one half an hour. Rev. Wade Goldston closed the vigil on Friday at 11:30 p.m. with an inspiring message on “Three Ways of Co-operating with Christ.” Patient; $5 is an awful lot of money for pulling a tooth — two seconds work. Dentist: Well, if you wish, I can pull it slowly.
