On Monday ARMISTICE DAY GAME TO BE PLAYED AT GREENVILLE The Louisburg College Trojans will meet the strong E. C. T. C. football team on Monday Nov. 12 in what will be the feature attrac tion for the Armistice day celebra tion. The Trojans^ thus far have won two, tied one, and lost three, and will be attempting to bring their average to .500 for the sea son. Reports from Greenville indicate that the Teachers have a very strong team and will be out to get their first win of the season from the Trojans. It is hoped that a large delegation of fans from Louisburg will be present for the game. Students Stage Treasure Hunt JEFF BOLAND’S GROUP ARE LUCKY WINNERS Purple & Gold Invade B. Creek An event much enjoyed by the students was the Treasure Hunt held on the campus Saturday night October 27. It was given as one of the regular Saturday night par ties for the entertainment of those students not lucky enough to go home every week-end. We owe a vote of thanks to Miss Stipe and other members of the faculty for starting this custom and we hope they will keep up the good work. The party began at eight o’clock in the students’ Social Hall, where Miss Bruns and Miss Ewart gave the rules of the game.- To begin with everyone was divided into groups and each group elected a captain to direct their search. Af ter this, each captain was given a sealed envelope containing a jum ble of letters which had to be as sembled together to form the first (“lue of the hunt. Soon the chase was on and the campus echoed 1 Adam And Eve PRODUCTION SCHEDULED FOR NOV. 23 The first play to be presented by the dramatic club this year will be “Adam and Eve” by C. L. Ead- !y.

A. held Monday Oct. 29th. proved to be a very inspiring and peppy one. The original purpose \ of the meeting was to have a joint meeting of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. However, the girls were not fully organized so the meeting was held without them. i'd father, and his socially minded , Then the football boys had to at- wife. The efforts and attempts of | tend “skull” practice. This left a these young folks to gain the par ental blessings for their plans lead to a very surprising and joy ous climax when a seemingly hopeless tangle is straightened ut as if by magic. The cast includes the following: Buck Holder, as the vagabond LUithor, Adam Mason; Louise Brown, as the attractive and like able Evelyn Armstrong; the part of Evp‘s business-like uncle is pov- tiayed by Stur.rt Godfrey; As>n?en ITiarrington plays the part of Mrs. .\vmstrong a lady with a rather grand and overbearing manner; he part of the happy-go-lucky son s taken by Bob Edwards; Nell faithful few. So the program was very informal and impromptu. Af ter devotional and music the pres ident called upon several people present for talks on Trojan spirit and the L. C'.-Campbell football game. j Mr. Bray made a very inspiring I ti'lk on a versatile student and urged the boys to really co-oper- nte with the football team. Buck Holder made a plea for the sup port of the boys in cheering. Dr. Fitzgerald pToved himself to be a regular “feller” when he gave a ■cry peppy talk on fijd'htinc; spirit n a football game. We b?lieve that he would make an e'xceUent Davis is the rather spoiled and I cheer leader. When Louisburg decides to do something they certainly do it right. They made up their mind to boat Campbell and to have the whole school there to see it done. By bus, car, and truck they set out for the battle field. A truck load I of boys braved the winter winds in an open truck bedecked with ban ners proclaiming them the L. 0. Expeditionary Forces to Beat Campbell Again" in order to be in at the death. About 15t» enthusiastic support ers made the trip, and were well rewarded when the Trojans again defeated the “Boys from Buie’s Creek.” It was a great day for Louisburg. with shouts of Hurry up I headstrong daughter; Wilimena •‘Here it is”.

Var ious talented members of the stu dent body entertained for awhile, and then came the call to refresh ments. Everyone lined up and passed the grab-bag from which each one person took a package. At eleven o’clock, the party ad journed. Hallowe’en Party Is Held At College On one night out of every year the grown ups join with the young people in their fun making—Hal loween Night. On Wed. Oct. 31 the faculty and students of L. C. had a Halloween Party in the outer dining hall. Every student and fac ulty member was present and most of them were in costume. Most of those present had their fortune told while several played that old favorite game—Post Of fice. Some of the lassies, such as Esther Mae, “Pokey Huntas” ,and Peggy were dressed very becom ingly as Pirates, showing off their feminine charms much to the young gentlemen’s delight. While the party was held, sup posedly, in the dining hall much of the fun making was under the en trance steps and in the History class room. Even little Jeff Boland the idol of the campus, escorted his lady fair down the hall to the water fountain but as yet no body has accused Jeff of drinking any water. Big Mutt Nelson did a lit tle plain and fancy wrestling dur ing the night of fun and merry making. I hate to see a thing done by halves; if it be right, do it wholly; if it be wrong, leave it undone.

He who will fight the devil with his own weapons, must not wonder if he finds him an overmatch.—Ex. Who’s Who When one is thinking about Who’s Who in L. C. one of the first we think of is Carolyn Whitely. She was born on Nov. 6, 1916—which means she will be 18 Tuesday. “Happy birth day Carolyn”. She graduated from Stantonsburg High School in ’33 and was a star basket ball player during her high school career. By the way, she started a wonderful basketball career here at L. C. She is president of the “13 Club” and House President of the Student Council. She maintains a very high scholastic record. And last but not least she says, “I’ve never been in love” Can you imagine that? Well, there’s a break for someone, and i»ll that we ask is, “Boys just be careful not to break down the front doors when you come rushing over ’case it’s kinda cold these hyere days.” on the House^ and all of the sets have been refinished. “Adam and Eve'’ ertainly should be a winner, nnd vve await November 23 with hig'h anticipation of seeing a real play. History Of Louisburg^ C Alumni Notes At last we have heard from Vir- i;inia Dieb?l of Norlina, the presi- lent of the girl’s student council "or the year 1933-34. “Vinnie” is Tiinistering to the sick at St. Luke’s Hospital, Bethlehem, Penn sylvania. Idn Fuller a graduate in the iMne Arts and the Business de partments of Louisburg, stopped 'oy one Sunday for a brief visit ■ ith old friends before returning lo Meredith.

(Continued on Page 4) After the failure of the expan sion plan the College lost some of he position and prestige it had hf'ld among the Junior Colleges of the nation but it still carried on. I’here were two disastrous fires, one in 1927 when the building •'rected in 1802 was burned and ne in 1929 when the Main build- 'ntr v/as damaged. The depression hit the College vry hard and for a time it was planned to sell the College to an other denomination bu^ the Met’i- dist Conference decided against this plan. In 1931 Dr. A. D. Wilcox pas tor of the Louisburg Methodist Church for several years, was elected President of the College. He immediately took steps to save he College from closing its doors ■nd his efforts were rewarded with, succe.ss. Also in 1931 it was decided to open the doors of Louisburg Col- ‘e"e to rnon so it now became a ’o-edunational institution. Despite the financial conditions now pre- ■ alent the College has remained >ne of the most outstanding Jun ior Colleges of the South. Newby Crowell Football Record Louisburg 7, Wm. & M.

Buie’s Creek Nov. 2—Louis- i burg made it two in a row when j they defeated the Campbellites 7 to 6 Friday afternoon. Louis burg kicked off and the “Camels” fumbled. The Trojans recovering on the 26 yard line. Gibson then nicked up a yard in a stab at the line. Boland then went through a hole off tackle, cut back to the left wd traveled 25 yards for a touch down with only one Campbell mr.n touching him. Weldon then kicked the extra point which later proved to be the deciding factor in the contest. Campbell Tries Passes On the next kick-off the Camp- '11 b:?ys return"d the ball to the Trojp.ns 25 yard line and after one tab at the line a bad pass from enter v^as recovered by the Tro- if'ns on Campbell’s 12 yard line, '■’hree line ph:ys carried the ball "o Campbell’s 1 yard line making It first and one to go for touch down. At this point of the game the Campbell team buckled down to business and held the Trojans for four downs and no gain. Camp- \iell received the ball on the Tro jans 1 yard line and then punted out of danger. The Trojans punt- od back and on the next play the ‘'Boys from Buie^s Creek*^ took to the air, and when I say they took to the air, I mean that they really made a habit of it. In fact, be tween the second kick-off and the ’inal whistle the “Camels” made 8 attempts to gain via the sky ways. Seven of these arrived at their intended destination safely nd counted for gains of 65 yards. iOventeen more were thrown ■ide or batted down by the Trojan ■icks. The remaining four were nagged in the purple clad arms f the men from Louisburg and re- urned for a total of 52 yards. Trojans Lead In First Downs The game was well played, with he Trojans having the upper hand it most stages of the contest. The Trojans counted eight first downs against four for the Campb 11 lads. Campbell Scores The second quarter opened with he ball resting on the Campbell 42 yard line in possession of the Trojans. Thy-etV plays netted no gain and it was Campbell’s ball on iheir own 42. Here they started iheir passing attack. Three strait .asses and one line play carried he ball to the Trojans ten yard line. Here a pass Humphries to Tordar, counted for a score, mak ing it Louisburg 7, Campbell 6. The try for point failed. During the remaining minutes of this quar ter the br’! was most of the time taking joi’rneys through the air, either fro. i a punt or a Campbell pass. Second Half Play The second half opened with the Louir.burg team leading by ona point and the team at once began to play a defensive game, running only line plays ai.J punting on third downs. “The Boys From Buie’e Creek” could do nothing with the Louisburg forward wall and at once opened up' with their passing attack, but this time it was not successful as it was in (Continued on Page 4)
