First Impressions at Well-known
Institution
Correspondence Of The Robesonian.
Buie's Creek, Sept. 5-The renown;
ed institution Of Buies' Creek held
her greatest opening in all her long
and noted history.
Now "W. v. B." being among the
! new members, truly he knows this
fact, that it's not real home, but as
near it as can possibly be made.
Every new person was tagged as
new. The old boys were tagged as
old boys. This made US feel more
than strangers. The handshaking
Chats what your correspondent calls
| a part of life) is prominent. The
! cordial hand-shake-one that makes
! a tie or bond Of love dwell within
lis here among the faculty and
large student body. The devotional
exercises are great. The faculty
knows how to conduct it.
Tuesday night reception was Civ
en- to get acquainted with the girls
and boys. Recitations that delighted
the entire audience. Musical selec-
@ tions by the faculty swayed the
heart and made one think he or she
was right near paradise:
Everyone was tagged and had a GER
tain number on his tag. A prize was
given for the girl who could secure
the most boys names and numbers,
the same to the young men. Fifteen
minutes were given to accomplish
this feat. Mr.. Robert Day was the
gentleman to secure the largest num-
Der Of girls names. The winners
were ushered to the stage, where
Prof. Carlyle Campbell compliment
ed them on their tact and quick abil-
ity, also he awarded the prizes, two
very much-coveted articles, a dainty
box of tuberose snuff going to the
young lady and bottle Of Hoyts CO.
logne to the young man.
The winners were very much COM
plemented by friends and faculty.
This was the final for the boys
and girls to mingle together, for no
school could be conducted as this one
is conducted with the girls and boys
going together.
We are right down in earnest hard
work now. The teachers are very
kind and mild. The discipline of
the student body is fine.
Robson and Sampson are in the
lead, both having the same number
of students here.
! It's amusing to watch the crowd
around the postoffice, especially the
Robson fellows so anxious to get
The Robesonian. AS for w. V. BIS
part, he can hardly wait for Tuesday
and Friday to come around.
A number Of old students are here
to greet the old boys and girls, also
the new corners. Some are on their
way to Wake Forest to pursue their
studies.
The country is beautiful. Hills,
hills and brooklets are here and there
The grand old Cape Fear lies only
one mile from here.
The roads are good, so far as your
correspondent knows. They tell US
they have had bad roads, but are
building new ones now.
} If any one in Robeson or elsewhere
t is in doubt Of coming here, we say
Z to him to come and see. Now bows,
, don't let Robson, the estate" that
l leads, fall back. Girls, come, too.
| Your correspondent will write reg
ularly hereafter, if he gets suffic
lent news and notes to Justify it.
While we were back in Gaddyville
we asked several to write for the
paper while we were away, yet we
have seen no one with a letter.
Your correspondent must confess
that he has been homesick, but that's
, wearing away. Many a time he has
thought Of you all during the past
week.
: Come to Buie's Creek.
