Sherron Is Vice-President
Linda Royster was elected vice-
president of the freshman class at
the beginning of the fall semester,
but after her withdrawal from
school this office was left vacant
and a replacement was to be
found.
The Elections Committee set up
a re-election, which was held at
the same time the Homecoming
Queen was selected. Candidates
for the office were Robert
Hensley, Stan Lewter, Robbie
Sherron, and Sandy Murphy.
Robbie Sherron was elected to
the office.
She states, "Before being
elected vice-president of my
freshman class, I knew it would be
an important responsibility. Now
that I've been selected for the
position, I intend to fulfill that
responsibility. My job is to assist
the president in any project or idea
that he is working on. Being a part
of the team is an honor and I will
do my best to do a good job for
my school and class.”
Robbie is well-known around
campus. She is involved in various
activities such as singing in the
Glee Club and providing enter
tainment for coffeehouses. She
was also a Homecoming repre
sentative.

College Represented In Parade
Franklin County, the city of
Louisburg, and Louisburg College
were represented by a float in the
inauguaral parade held for Gover
nor Jim Hunt on January 9.
Three college students rode on
the float. They are Phama Mullen,
Betty Norris, and Millette Perry.
They were accompanied by eight
other local students. Dean Eller
also marched with the 440th Army
Band.
One should not feel guilty if he
failed to see the parade on
television. Even those who
watched the parade from start to
finish did not see the float
because t passed by during a
commercial and no video-tape
replay was shown.
It is nearly impossible to please
everyone, but a Charlotte, N.C.
based band, Sugarcreek, is
accomplishing this feat. They are
capable of "turning on" virtually
anyone. Their gimmick—good
music and a good show. From
being just another group, Sugar
creek has risen to being one of the
best dance and show groups.
Sugarcreek is indeed a highly
competent, seven-piece vocal and
rock attraction, too diversified to
adhere to the limitations of a
multitude of artists who jump on
the bandwagon for just a few
months. The roots of Sugarcreek
date back ten years, which is
almost unheard of in a regional
rock combo. They have traveled
thousands upon thousands of
miles—playing for hundreds of
college dances, fraternity and
sorority parties, high school
dances, deb parties, club en
gagements, etc. These perform
ers, twenty to twenty-six years of
age, have been performing up,
down, and across the Southeast
for so many years, that one
automatically expects musical
professionalism. They don't dis
appoint! Their success can be
SGA Plans Two Eventfull Weekends
Phama Mullen
I he SGA has been working
hard planning events for this
semester. The Entertainment
Committee has worked out two
big weekends, one during the
winter and one during the spring.
They are also planning a
mid-winter weekend on March
18-20, but plans are not yet
complete. On March 20, Alfred
Hitchcock's thriller "Psycho" will
be shown.
The bands for the winter and
spring weekends have already
been booked. Sugarcreek yvill
appear during February and the
Spontanes are coming for Spring
Weekend. These bands are two of
the three biggest in the South.
"Prime Cut," a movie starring
Gene Hackman and Lee Marvin,
will bring Winter Weekend to a
close on Sunday, February 13.
Plans for Spring Weekend are
still being discussed. The Enter
tainment Committee is thinking of
getting Sutter's Gold Street Band
to return due to popular demand.

attributed to team spirit and
determination to do the best job
possible.
An ability to handle any type of
musical taste with authority and
flare is Sugarcreek. They are
specialists with all the hits from
the late fifties to the present,
including Soul, Top 40, Rock,
Disco, and slow dance music.
Even the ever-popular Carolina
Beach sound is part of their
repertoire. Being able to adapt to
any situation has helped Sugar
creek become one of the South's
most popular and sought-after
music and show attractions.
This is Sugarcreek on paper;
Louisburg students have the
chance to see and hear them
double on eleven or more
instruments during Winter Week
end, Feb. 11-13. All seven men
share lead and harmony vocal
parts, plus they are all accom
plished musicians. Rarely will one
find a band with seven lead
vocalists-not to mention their
outstanding choreography and
showmanship.
Oak Prepares
For Publication
The Oak staff has been working
"very diligently" on the yearbook,
according to Sara Purser, editor.
The group completed a total of 34
pages in the first week of work.
Photographs for the yearbook are
expected in by March 7. The staff
anticipates a spring publication,
somewhere around the first of
May. As of yet, no theme has
been selected.
