home must be built on a strong foundation, or it will not stand. Northwestern State Colleges foundation was provided for by the Billiard Mansion, built in the middle 180() . As proof of its strong foundation we have today a symbol of its strength — the three columns, which are Northwestern ' s true foundation. These columns have become a symbol to N.S.C. and its thousands of alumni. Every year new students come and old ones go. The striving campus receives and passes on to the world new and exciting ideas. However, N.S.C. can only take credit for a small part of these ideas. Since most of us are native Louisianans. the basic ideas we have today were founded in the Old South. Our heritage from those early days is now best recalled in the Bullard Mansion and other famous ante helium homes of our Creole state. There can still be found in Louisiana the basic examples of Southern customs and traditions. Enshrined in these homes are memories of gala activities, southern cookery, political discussions, and various and sundry activities. If it were possible for one of the old homes to speak, what glorious tales it could tell! Maybe it would tell of gala balls which were held in its great ballroom. It could tell of beautiful ladies in dresses oi rustling taffeta, delicate laces, and stiff organdy, dancing with Southern gallants in frock tailed coats and curling mustaches. Perhaps it could tell of the sadness in seeing a young man march resolutely oil to war. looking very proud and handsome in a new gra uniform trimmed with shin) buttons, gold sash, and a gleaming saber at his side, perhaps never to return. From the moss covered bayou country ol South Louisiana to the pine-covered hills of North Louisiana, we see our heritage. The students who come to Northwestern State College are a part of this heritage. Here at N.S.C. is found a Potpourri of the different characteristics which make Louisiana what it i-. This PoTPoi ' KKi of 1958 presents to you the foundations of some of Louisiana ' s earliest idea- and contrasts them with the ideas of today. However, basically they are xtill the same.
