Homecoming queen Miss Judy Cheatham and escort Archibald Robertson T" Presents Annual Variety Show The second variety show of the 1959-60 season was presented to a capacity crowd on February 4 in Main Auditorium at Louisburg Col lege. Highlighting the program was the rocking combo composed of Tommy Sharpe on the drums, and Dave Hubbard, Tommy Ralph, and Butch Mills on their guitars. Billy Graham came from the audience and added his upbeat piano to the quartet toward the end. The show began with a Parisian skit, featuring Sandy Featherstone and Pricilla Hancock. A touch of the oriental came next when Masoka Yamado danced in Japa nese style. Later on in the program she switched to the dances of this country and did the Charleston. “The Lord Made a Woman” and it was Birdsong with the next fea ture, a pantomime done by Marilyn Ganey and David Birdsong, the confused couple. Fred Davis and Tommy Ralph played their guitars and sang “Three Jolly Coachmen.” Then Hunter Dula played a classi cal selection. No one can do the “can can” like Sam Maddry, Pal Midget, David Birdsong, Ron Sealy, and James Woodard, and they showed the crowd it could be done. “I Think You’re Wonderful” was the record to which Earlene Martin did a pan tomime. Gene Smith played his gui tar and sang an original number. The Sleep Walkers with their pa jamas and “shades” made quite a hit when they pantomimed to “Young Blood” and “Come Go With Me.” This group is composed of Harward Vashaw, John Raleigh, Chick Hardin, and Charlie Robert son.

Homecoming Queen Has Acting Ambitions By EARLENE MARTIN Tact, poise, and feminity — the perfect description of Miss Judith Cheatham as she was crowned 1960 Homecoming Queen of Louis burg College Saturday night, Feb ruary 6, in Holton Gymnasium. An extremely surprised, slightly dazed, and starry-eyed Judy Chea tham moved around the gymnasium floor and out into the lobby where she let loose her emotions. Tears brimmed her eyes and spilled over onto her flushed cheeks as friends and well-wishers closed in upon her. A theatrical enthusiast, Miss Cheatham lists music and art as favorite activities, along with writ ing. As a popular graduate of Franklinton High School and Peace Preparatory School, she held offices in such organizations as the Beta Ciub, the Monogram Club, the F.T.A., the Honor Society, and the Drama Club. She was chosen as the most talented senior at Peace. Miss Cheatham became inter ested in drama at an early age and carried out her ambition by par ticipating in plays throughout her school career. Miss Cheatham was highly praised for her acting lead in the Franklinton High School jun ior play and also for one of the leads in the Raleigh Little Theater. During her senior year at Peace, Miss Cheatham was awarded a summer-term scholarship with the Carolina Playmakers, where she achieved the highest acting award at Carolina in the play “Soldadera.” As freshman at Louisburg Col lege, Miss Cheatham wishes to fur ther her education in dramatics and expresses the desire to become a teacher of dramatics after her col lege education. 0 Miss Cheatham was escorted by j Archie Robertson of Petersburg, 1 Virginia. The Queen was formally presented by last year’s Queen, Linda Lea, of Durham, whose es cort was Fred Davis, of Morrisville. The parade of pink, blue, and white-gowned contestants was fol lowed by a smashing 108-83 home coming victory over P.J.C. A tea-dance in the Main Social Hall that lasted from 3 to 5 o’clock started the events of Homecoming Day. Alumni of Louisburg renewed old acquaintances while current stu dents talked and sipped tea with other friends and students. At 5 o’clock, the candidates for Queen, with their escorts, went to the Gym for a short rehearsal of the presentation. The representa tives from schools in Franklin County attended the rehearsal. Immediately following the re hearsal, the candidates and escorts went to the cafeteria to join the judges and alumni for dinner. A business meeting of the Alumni As sociation was then held. Mrs. Mamie Clayton, of Rox~ boro, vice-president of the Associa tion, opened the meeting with a few words of introduction of Paul Gregory’s recitation of the poem “Louisburg Is Me,” written by Fel ton Parker, class of 1951.
