that people call him “Kim.” He

FrVE DELEGATES
FROM L.C. ATTEND
YDC CONVENTION
Five delegates from Louisburg
College attended the State Y. D.
C. Convention held in Winston-Sa
lem, N. C., at the Robert E. Lee
Hotel on October 5-6, 1956. They
were Noah Sadler, Wilson Wood-
house, Bob Berry, Royce Byrd, and
Gerald Brooks.
The convention was attended by
Young Democrats from each dis
trict of North Carolina.
The convention was considered
one of the most important of its
kind for two reasons; first was its
principal speaker, Senator Jack
Kennedy, of Mass., a candidate for
the Vice-Presidential nominee at
the Natitfnal Democratic Conven
tion held last August in Chicago;
second was the terrific battles that
were held on the convention floor
for different state officers of the
Y. D. C.
In his speech. Senator Kennedy
elaborated on the mistakes made
by the Republican Party during
the present administration. He
dwelt upon the blunders in our
foreign policies that have been
made by Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles and others and stat
ed that if Mr. Stevenson and Mr.
Kefauver were elected they would
work to correct these mistakes.
The battles that were held on the
convention floor were highlighted
by the contest for North Carolina
Young Democratic National Com
mitteeman. In this election Louis
burg College and Franklin County
delegates played more than an ac
tive part. Two men were in the
running for this office, both of
equal caliber and ability. On the
first ballot both Louisburg College
and Franklin County passed. At
the end of the roll call it was found
that Bill Smith of was
four votes ahead of Bill Woods of
. There was a recall of

of the meeting was highlighted by
the presentation of the FBLA

ed in the spring of 1955, and by a
talk in which Miss Adelaide John
son, sponsor of the local chapter,
