Dr. Willard Joins
KIstoiY Department
Louisburg College would like to
extend a warm welcome to Dr.
George A. Willard, a new addition
to the faculty and history
department. Dr. Willard received
her A.B. degree at Atlantic
Christian College, her M.A. degree
at ECU, and her Ph.D. degree at
UNC at Chapel Hill. After teaching
at Georgia State University, Dr.
Willard says she appreciates the
atmosphere of a small school. She
hopes to help the students at LC
to learn not only historical facts
but skills that will help produce a
successful adult life. In Dr.
Willards's opinion, through
studying history students will
develop a better understanding of
themselves as well as their
environment. Dr. Willard has
recently made her home in
Louisburg and has hopes of
publishing a book on North
Carolina education.

There are at present 17 members
in the YDC. Mr. Steven E. Brooks,
Director of Admissions and
faculty advisor for the club,
stated, 'The club needs more
active members in order for it to
be a success."
The officers of the club are as

Steve Darnell, Vice President, and
Vivian Overton, Treasurer and
Secretary.
The main objective of the club
is to promote student interest in
political affairs. The organization

amendments to be voted on

figures for lecture and discussion
sessions and various money
raising projects.

Release Yourself
In this day and age of
specialization, a one time training
is not sufficient. Also with more
leisure time the public looks for
new ways to occupy this time.
Louisburg College is attempting to
meet the demands with the
Continuing Education Program.
The College Reading and Study
Skills was sponsored by Continu
ing Education during the summer,
and was so successful it is still
continuing. Other summer
courses included folklore for
English teachers and volleyball
coaching for high school stu
dents. The Beginning Guitar
course has enrolled many enthu
siastic participants. "The Revela
tion" being taught by Rev.
Stafford is now in process.
Although some programs like Dr.
Hubert N. Alyea's Overhead
Projection Series are credit for a
teacher's renewal certificate, all
programs are usually open to the
public. Continj6ing Education has
already begun planning the spring
activities such as a needlepoint
class, an automobile trouble
workshop, and a landscape
program. So release yourself in an
opportunity provided by Continu
ing Education.

Many Parents Visit
Louisburg College Campus
Where were your parents
October 22,1977? In all probability
they were at Louisburg College
attending the annual Parent's
Day. Quite a number of Parents
showed up for a day full of
activities.
The parents arrived on campus
between 9:30 and 11:00 Saturday
morning. After registering, the
parents attended a program
designed iust for them. Dean
Edward Brown, the speaker,
chose the topic of "Student
Success." He proceeded to
explain the role of the student, the
parent, and Louisburg College in
helping each student find his
place in life. He also pointed out
that Louisburg College is con
cerned with helping make the
student a "well-rounded" person,
as well as helping make his
successful academically. After
Dean Brown's address, the
Louisburg Ensemble welcomed
the parents by singing.
The parents were shown to the
Duke Cafeteria where they enjoy
ed a delicious lunch. The
afternoon was left vacant to give
the parents a chance to talk with
faculty and administration mem
bers.

festive occasion for the past few
years, and this year was no
exception.
