Cafeteria
Revitalized
STAFF WRITER
“Student dining was the
smphesis of the project of
revitalizing the cafeteria,” said
the friendly, familiar faced
Food Service Director Ed
Moolenaar as he sat with the
fantastic freshly remodeled
dining hall in the background.
When students of Louisburg
College returned for the spring
semester they were greeted with
a dining environment that is
just plain pleasant to eat in. As
estimated $22 thousand was put
into the re-organization of the
campus cafeteria. This money
went into the attractive neW
cabinets that were built to
house ice cream, beverages and
assorted other food services.
Carpet was installed in the
eating areas. A new plumbing
hook-up enabled the beverages
and ice cream to be moved
where they would not obstruct
the view through the huge
windows overlooking the
softball field.
“This modern eating
environment parallels the way
in which cafeteria dining has
evolved to meet the needs of
today’s demand for quality
food in a pleasant atmos-
y
■■'V'
phere”, Ed said. He continued,
“this cafeteria is now designed
to improve the everyday
functioning of how we serve
and present the food to the
diners.”
Construction started
on December 17th and
finishing touches were
completed on January 6th. In
order to get the vast new
improvements completed on
time, construction workers
toiled everyday of the student
Christmas vacation with the
exception of Christmas Day.
Students and faculty should
again credit the always
aWilable and hospitable Ed
Moolenaar for his constant
efforts in making dining at
Louisburg College a joy. We
recognize most colleges do not
have it so good.
Louisburg Mourns
Student’s Death
ITS SHOWTIME
By CHRIS SIMMONS
Ranee Dean Richey, a
nineteen year old resident of
Henderson and a Louisburg
College student was killed
during Christmas vacation
when his car ran off the road
and struck a tree. A friend of
Richey’s, Greg Lomax - a
student at North Carolina State
University was also killed.
Richey was driving a 1979
Chevrolet. Apparently he lost
control of the car and ran off the
St. Andrews Church Road
around 11:30 p.m. on Friday
December twenty-eighth. Both
boys were pronounced dead on
the scene.
RANGE RICHE
Richey, a freshman, lived bn
campus. He was a friendly.
outgoing, popular resident of
Franklin Dorm. Sidney
Stafford, who attended
Richey’s funeral said that
“Ranee was a good student...a
nice boy...it was a real tragedy.”
Mr. Stafford also said that
Ranee’s parents told him that
Ranee’s first semester here at
Louisburg had been one of the
happiest times of his life. For
Ranee’s friends and family
nothing can erase the pain of
his untimely death but maybe
the knowledge that the time he
"%>ent with them, though short,
was happy, will help to ease
pain. Maybe that’s all any of us
can ask out of life.

A mystical village appears in
a misty Scottish forest. Two
lost New York hunters stumble
onto it. Only to discover that it
appears for just one day each
century and if they do not leave
they too will disappear with it;
however, one of the hunters
falls in love with a village girl.
Brigadoon is the musical
which the Louisburg Players
will be presenting from the
twen ty-seven th to the
thirteenth of March. Teacher
Charley John Smith will be
directing Bobby Armstead,
Kathy Spears, Elisa Frazier,
Ralph Wall, Mike McClein
and Ron Timm, along with a
host of others in the production
of this Alan Jay Lerner story.
Yet, unlike their production
of Hedda Gabler this fall,
Brigadoon is giving students a
chance to show their musical
talents as well as their acting
abilities. Mr. Smith is also
interested in forming a ‘pit-
band’ to perform the
accompanying music by
Fredrick Lowe, saying,
“anyone can pick up an extra
hour of credit working with the
production in any capacity. We
need musicians, singers, and
other people for ‘walk-in’
parts.”
Charley John Smith,
I Franklin County native, is very
excited about this undertaking,
especially since he has never
