Judy Williamson’s
Hula Dancings Star In
Soutliern Style Luau
The response and participa
tion of our Louisburg College
students in the recent Southern
Style Hawaiia Luau was over
whelming! I have never seen
any group of students turn out
in such large numbers and ac
tively support an event of this
nature. Their action is cer
tainly a compliment to the din
ing program, its staff, and the
student leaders who planned
the program. I am very grate
ful to each and every one of
you for your participation and
consider it a privilege to be
associated with you.
Special consideration and
thanks should go to: Judy Wil
liamson and her “Hula Dancing
Darlings”, Shirley Alexander,
Linda Denny, Peggy Copeland,
Harriet Adams, and Carol My-
rick. Weren’t they great? how
else can you describe them?
And let’s not overlook Diane
Benton and her staff who were
responsible for the decorations
that set the stage for the fine
atmosphere. They worked hard
and skillfully. Members of
this committee were Frances
Scott, Don Ayscue, Mike

less you count Charlie’s ac-
companlmentl)
Do you know where the id«a

began at a meeting of your food
committee: Diane Benton, Pearl
Lane Maddrey, Shirley Alexan
der, Judy Williamson, Eliza
beth LaRue, Charlie Kelly, Jim
Howard, Mike Thompson, Steve
Perry, and Jim Davis.
I almost forgot our campus
comedian, Mr. Stafford, affec-
tionably known by his pupils
as “Staffie”. We are indebted
to him for sacrificing his time
for our cause. It would be
unpardonable to fail to recog
nize my own staff. They are
the greatest! Once again, thanks
to you all. We always enjoy
your support and participation.
I thank you.

LEE EVANS
Evans Trio Concludes
LC. Concert Series
The Louisburg College Con
cert Series will present pianist
Lee Evans, and his Trio, in
a pops concert here April 29,
at 8:00 p.m. in the College
Auditorium.
“Evans is absolutely the best
of the new, llstenable pop-jazz
geniuses around today,” said
Walter Wlnchell recently In his
syndicated column. Backing-
up Evans in the concert here
will be Bill Smith, percussionist
from the Steve Lawrence Show,
and Barry Mlntz, first fasslst
of the New York Philharmonic.
Evans began studying the piano
at the age of five, and gra
duated with honors in Music at
Columbia University where he
received the B.A. and M.A.
degrees. His original ambition
to be a teacher was, for a time
fulfilled, but It was Inevitable
that a performing career would
be his ultimate attainment. (He
spent two years In the U. S.
burg College for his depend
ability, loyalty to the school
and his ability to see that In a
very quiet and orderly fashion
all duties and responsibilities
are completed on time.”
The local club chooses an out
