C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1959 No. 2 Spanish Classes Sponsor Fiesta By MORGAN HASLETT The annual Spanish Fiesta was held Wednesday night, December 9, at 7 o’clock in the basement of Hol ton Gymnasium. The Fiesta was a joint project of the Spanish classes taught by Mrs. Allen deHart. Written and directed entirely by stu dents in the classes, the Fiesta was the high point of the activities of the fall semester. The decorations brought out a Spanish atmosphere, and many who attended were dressed in colorful Spanish costumes. The three Spanish classes com peted against one another in making Pinatas, objects of varied designs containing candy and other favors. The very colorful Pinatas are sus pended from the ceiling and at a given signal are burst open, shower ing their contents on the guests below.

JEANETTE HARRIS It was Saturday, December 12, and there was quite a bit of excite ment in the air. Why all the excite ment? It was the night of the Winter Formal Dance. The Winter Formal is sponsored annually by the Senior class. The decorations, handled this year by Ann Smith, required many hours of hard work, and they were quite pretty. Billy Graham was in charge of the lights. As one entered into the gymna- smm, there were snowflakes, and blue lights, and it seemed as if he were walking in a land of moonlight and snow. Going farther into this snowland, it began to seem more like a dreamland with blue lights, silver trees, candles, and snowflakes that actually sparkled. The interior of the gymnasium was decorated in beautiful colors of silver and blue. In the center of the gym, there was a wheel and from the wheel streamers of silver paper extended, giving the effect of an overhead ceiling of evening. From the stage the streamers formed an arch. Under the wheel there was a large silver Christmas tree, on the stage where the band was located there were trees, to form a back ground, painted silver. Around the floor, tables were set up to seat eight people. Each table had white cloths and candles. There were aluminum snowflakes, each of a slightly different shape, scattered throughout the gym. Blue lights were shone to give the effect of a “Winter Wonderland” or “Mjsty”, which was the theme of the formal. The music was provided by the Star Dusters,” a six piece band from Raleigh. During the intermis sion, Christmas music was played through a Hi-fi system. For the dance, the boys wore dark suits, while the girls came in yards and yards of billowing lace, net and taffeta. Language Fraternity Initiates Six Sigma Pi Alpha, National honor ary language fraternity, initiated six students on December 10. The ceremony was conducted in the fac ulty parlor with Bobby Stevens, President, Dr. Ann Blumenfeld, ad visor, and Linda Lea, secretary, presiding over the initiation. Those inducted had met the re quirements of the fraternity by ob taining an academic average of not less than 80 per cent, an average in language courses of 85 per cent, and were taking language courses above the begirming level. The six honored were: Almeta Brown, Middlesex; Judy Cheatham, Franklinton; L. G.

College Day Program Begun For Franklin County Seniors In an effort to acquaint local high school students with Louisburg Col lege, a series of tours of the campus by senior classes of various Frank lin County high schools has been initiated. First to make the tour was the senior class of Mills High School on December 7. According to Mrs. Gordan Zea land, recently appointed assistant to the Librarian, this is the first year that such a program has been at tempted. “The purpose of college day for high school seniors,” said Mrs. Zea land, “is to let the students know something about Louisburg Col lege.” The high schools that will be seen on campus between now and after the holidays are: Youngsville, Franklinton, Edward Best, Bunn, Gold Sand and Epsom. The duration of this program may extend beyond the holidays because of conflicting high school and college exam sched ules. Mills High School students at tended the “second year” Orienta tion program in chapel the week of December 7. Orientation was just one of the many things they did while on campus that day. After Orientation, the students divided into groups of 3 or 4. Students of Louisburg College served as guides. The groups were then free to go to any class of their choice. The stu dents sat in on the various lectures and labs normally in progress. The students of Louisburg went through the day as usual in order to give the high school seniors a better idea of college life. After classes, the seniors walked around the campus grounds and insf)ected the dormi tories. They ate lunch and went to a 1:00 class, also of their own choice. At 2:00, the students met with Dr. Robbins in the auditorium for a question and answer session. At this meeting, the students were able to inquire about costs, the quality point system, transferring, etc. The gathering met for approxi mately 45 minutes which gave them time to return to the high school be fore their usual dismissal time.
