To Accelerate Your
College Program:
Go to Summer School
The student can complete as
many as seven hours of college work
by attending summer school. Thus
summer school is a convenient way
of speeding up your college degree.
Many students may be able to begin
their college program in the summer
following high-school graduation,
and college students can sometimes
accelerate their transfer by a semes
ter. Summer school also offers an
excellent opportunity to college stu
dents who need to make up credits.

Frosh Officers
Elected After
Vigorous Campaign
Diane Benton, President of the
freshman class, commented: “I’m
so excited. It couldn’t have hap
pened without my friends. David
Todd and Jimmy Davis were my
campaign managers. They did a
great job.”
As for the spring dance: “I
wanta get a great band — one that
everybody can do the correct dance
to!”
Bob Schwartz, Vice-President,
also promised a good May dance
and said that he was going to “work
with everybody else.”
Secretary Linda Rhew said, “I
was very surprised and very hon
ored that I was elected. I’ll do the
best that I can — and I thank my
roommates, Mary Boone and Donna
Dugger for their help in the cam
paign.”
She added, “I’ll do my part in
making this the best spring dance

The treasurer, Kurt Williams,
stated that though the officers had
as yet called no meeting, they plan
to get to work almost at once. “The
main thing,” he said, “is to have a
good band. Some of the bands up
here this year haven’t been too
good.”
The Old Order Changeth
Grimm Brothers
To Entertain at
Next Coffee House
Once upon a time there were
three young men. One turned down
by his local draft board, one Ed
Sullivan failure, and the other, the
leader of a string jug band! One
day they got together and became
a successful comedy trio. Things
must have been on the dark sid^e
when they became a group — their
name — The Grimm Brothers.
This tickle-ating trio will be here
the week of February 26 thru
March 2, putting on two comical
performances a night. There is a
25 cent reservation charge for re
freshments (Mr. Beckham has
promised a different menu each
night).
The Grimm Brothers recently
completed a 5-year contract with
the Tapioca Club in Athens, Ohio,
where they received their first “big
break” when the big name head
liner of that night was unable to
perform. The Grimms filled in and
because of their ability got the

For generation upon generation,
Louisburg College students have
had a deep love of history. The
administration, too, has felt this
deep love of Louisburg’s past. They
have made great efforts in preserv
ing our history: through restoring
the old academy building, preserv
ing school records in the library,
and by publishing the school’s his
tory in the catalog. But now, this
love of history has died. Progress
has taken over. The Old Well, long
a symbol of our history and heri
tage, has been carelessly pushed
over and forgotten.
For many years the Old Well was
the only source of water for the
school. The water which the stu
dents used to drink and wash with
had to be carried from the well in
wooden buckets to the dorms. The
water used in cooking also came
from the Old Well.
In this dark hour of destruction,
there is some small ray of hope.
Dean Patterson is planning to have
the well moved to the site of the
old brick storehouse in front of the
cafeteria. The original well will not
be used but copied. A much larger
pavilion is planned which can be
used as a student center. It will be
a place of beauty as well as a place
for students to get together with their
friends.
To make the restoration of the
Old Well possible, you, the students
must take an active part. Let the
administration know your feelings!
