What ' s in store Parents Day Expressing his ideas on student lite at Louisburg College, Dean Brown gathers the attention of Parents Day is as special for some people as it may be de- structive for others. It ' s the time when the truth comes out as parents come from all over to meet with teachers and find out the real story, or the hidden truth, whichever may be the case. This year began with parents registering in the library where they could grab a quick cup of coffee and a brief chat. Then all made their way to the AC Build ing where Dean Brown and Dr. Morris reassured them that their son or daughter was get- ting the best education possi- ble. After this presentation it was time to stand in a long line for what was one of Ed ' s best lunches yet: fried chicken and creamed potatoes. Following dinner, teachers met with parents, and when the sweaty palms of the students finally bid adieu to their parents later that afternoon, the par- ents left smiling, knowing that their sons and daughters were in the right hands. Another suc- cessful Parents Day at Lou-(J is credited to our faculty and stu- dents. Speaking on behalf of the faculty. Professor Raymond Mize explains learning priorities 16, Student Life
