Moon Award Frank Layne, President of the Sophomore Class, announced last week that the Sophomore Class will sponsor the founding of the new Isaac Deane Moon Sophomore Award to be given to a graduating sophomore with some specific qualifications. “The purpose of this award,” he said, “is to promote the need for more well-rounded individuals on campus. We have scholastic awards, but we do not have any awards that promote school spirit or individual partici pation in extracurricular activities. In many respects, it is these areas that are more important than scholastic standing.” The Executive Council of the Sophomore Class announced that the name of the award is to honor Mr. Isaac Deane Moon, instructor at Louisburg since 1935. Now in his twenty-sixth year at Louisburg, Mr. Moon said, “It certainly is an honor to have the award named after me.” The Constitution for the award is as follows; SELECTION FOR RECIPIENT OF THE ISAAC DEANE MOON SOPHOMORE AWARD Article I Section 1—The name of this award shall be the Isaac Deane Moon Sophomore Award. Article II Section 1—The recipient for receipt of the award is required to have attended Louisburg College for four consecutive semesters, maintaining a “C average during these four semesters. The average is to include the mid-semester grades of the semester of the award. Article IV Section 1—The method and rules for the selection of the recipient and presentation of the award are as follows: Section 2—The sophomore class sponsors will choose the recipient, taking into consideration all the activities and work for the school and students done by the prospective recipient consisting of leadership, citizen ship, and scholastic ability. Section 3—The recipient of the award will be chosen during the sec ond quarter of the spring semester at the earliest convenience of the class sponsors. Section 4—The name of the recipient will remain known only to the advisors of the sophomore class, contingent upon the respectful actions of the recipient until the day of presentation. Section 5—The award will be presented by the class sponsors at com mencement exercises. Section 6—The selection of the Isaac Deane Moone Sophomore Award and the wording inscribed upon the award will be left to the decision of the sophomore class sponsors and the executive council of the class. Faye Clayton Is New WSG Head Faye Clayton was voted President of the Woman’s Student Government on Wednesday night, January 25, 1961. Before being elected she had held the position of House President. Faye is a business student and has maintained an excellent scholastic standing all through her two years at Louisburg College. Faye succeeded Carolyn Crews who was Vice-President until the marriage of ex-president Jane Trump Jeanette. After only a few short weeks of presidential duties, Carolyn moved home to commute as a day student. This situation left the W.S.G. without a president. The W.S.G. met and nominated as candidates, Joyce Wynn and Faye Clayton. A secret ballot election was held and the girls voted Faye as W.S.G. President. A vice-president had to be elected; therefore, nominations were taken from the floor and Joyce Wynn was voted such. Because of the fact that Joyce had been Treasurer, a new Treasurer had to be elected to take her position. Nominations were made for Treasurer, and the girls elected Dianne Whitt. With the old officers working along with the new ones for the good of the college the spring semester seems more promising than ever be fore. 34 New Students Enrolled For Second Semester At the beginning of the spring semester there were thirty-four new students enrolling at Louisburg Col lege, according to Registrar John B. York. This year there are only two new pupils from Louisburg: Anna Jean Hunt and Henry Lane.

An outstanding guest was Miss Ann Farrington Herring, Miss North Carolina for 1960, who was on hand to greet alumni, students, faculty, and friends, and to take part in the selection and crowning of the Homecoming Queen. Miss Herring is a rising Sophomore at Wake Forest College, where she plans to return next fall and major in sociology and psychology.

Herring of Winston- Salem and is one of four children. Her father, once a Baptist minister, is now a professor of religion at Wake Forest College. Ann first won the Miss Winston-Salem title on March 25, 1960, and on July 23, 1960, she was chosen Miss North Carolina from a court of sixty-eight contestants. Repeated observations were made that Ann was very charming and beautiful, and most of the male stu dents greatly enjoyed her visit. An interesting note is that at the age of 13 Ann was a pupil of Miss Ruth Merritt.
