Those/ First Meeting Louisburg: College j.1. _ T lo^irc" First Impressions Of Louisburg (By Newby Crowell) My first impression was that the college was larger than I had thought it. As I am very self con scious I immediately noticed that people were staring at me. The individual is conscious of the whole. Though everybody seemed very friendly and helpful. Good old Southern hospitality, suh. I wondered if the college were in need of money by the immen sity of fines posted on the door. Everyone at the dining table kept their eyes on their plates, that is all except the old boys who were free with their glances. Food was of good quality but of insuffi cient amount. I tried to size up the teachers. I liked most of them instinctively but some of them required further siz ing up to like. There seems to be no trouble in getting rains up here. Don’t even need to pray for them. Three members of the Louisburg football squad were forced to leave school for an undetermined length of time last week-end upon being called out by the National Guard. Sid Holder of the 113th Field Artillery of Louisburg went with his battery to the High Point area. Clement and Early of the First Battery 129th Infantry of Oxford were moved to the Gastonia Area. Upon entering school they had ap plied for their discharges but were called never-the-less. The strike situation is rapidly clearing up, and it is hoped that the boys will soon be able to return to school.

Lator in 1802 the Louisburp r'emale Seminary was chartered and built. It was built on a twelve acre lot directly opposite the Franklin Academy. The first president of the college was A. H. Ray, a man of jreat in telligence and capacity. Under hip guidance the college expanf'ed and was much respected in all sections. At that time there were few col leges devoted to the education of Young Women. This college had much to do with the spreading cj" culture in the South.. (Continued in the next issue).

Wages, hours and union recog nition are the points for present settlement because the stretch out system will be settled at a later date by the new board of relation. It is rumored union recognition will be the vital point as both sides realize with union recognition for collective bargaining then wages and hours can be settled later. Who will be the victor?
