Though the frightful night of Halloween has passed us, we still have one more location at Centenary to discuss, and it’s the hauntings at Magale Library. If you’ve studied there late at night, you’ve likely felt an eerie feeling, especially on the second floor. Maybe you’ve felt a chill, or even that someone watching you. Or perhaps you’re one of the few people who’s actually seen the ghost on the second floor, the ghost of a little girl wandering the rows of books.

Centenary’s Meadows Museum of Art is known for showcasing various art exhibitions throughout the semester. One of the shows currently being displayed is titled Ode to East Texas: The Long Way Home, and it is a collection of artworks put together by Lee Jamison, Centenary alum from the class of 1979.

Hello to all my outdoorsy people! We’re back with another installment of Centenary’s Backyard, the series that shows you all the places you can go within a two-hour drive from campus. This is our first State Park featured! Caddo Lake State Park is a Texas State Park found by—you guessed it—Caddo Lake.

It’s almost Halloween, and it’s time to explore another area of haunting on campus: James Hall. James, like Cline, is known by its residents to have a ghost, and this ghost is one that William Morrison, Assistant Director of Res Life, had a first-hand encounter with.

Callie Fedd is a Centenary English alumna who graduated last spring and served as The Conglomerate’s Editor-in-Chief during her senior year of 2021-2022.

The Sub, the home of Centenary’s newspaper now online, does have some creepy aspects to it- the third floor at night definitely gives one the spooks, as does the basement, with its dim, fluorescent lighting that might flicker at the most unnerving times. But the Sub does not have ghosts in it, despite all this… but it does have two people within it who are intimately familiar with the ghosts at Centenary, ones that you’re more likely to encounter if you live on campus: the Dorm hauntings.

On September 21st, RAs McKenzie Olinger and Kiara Liedy held a program in James Lobby called Ask a Professor. The program consisted of a panel of six different professors who were all from different disciplines. The panelist were Dr. Jones-Pierce (English), Dr. Johnson (education), Dr. Friesenhahn (political science), Dr. Alexander (psychology), Dr. Chirhart (biology), and Dr. Reid (mathematics). The program also included Dr. Johnson, the director of the Center for Teaching and Learning.

Welcome back to everyone’s favorite series from the Conglomerate! This issue I wanted to highlight a hidden gem: Columbia Park. This park is even closer to campus than Betty Virginia. But its location is more embedded in its neighborhood than Betty Virginia, so it’s easier to miss. Though this park is small, there are still many parts that make it a lovely pocket of land inside the chaos of the City of Shreveport. Let’s get into the review!

There have been few films I have been as excited for as much as I was for Don’t Worry Darling. After seeing Midsommar a few years ago, Florence Pugh quickly became my favorite actress, and I was eager to consume every piece of media she appeared in.

The day before school started, I was walking in the rain with one of my suitemates when I heard the BeReal notification go off. I rushed up Hardin’s front steps and pulled out my phone to take a BeReal.

Feeling tired? Lethargic and burnt out? Defeated with the ongoing, crushing weight of life responsibilities and school?

Welcome to the second installment of the Centenary’s Backyard series! This issue, I will be talking about the Bossier access point of the Red River National Wildlife Refuge.

As I welcome you to a new school year, I am also welcoming you to a new series of articles: “Centenary’s Backyard.” The goal of this series is to introduce the nearby city, parish/county, state, and even national parks, refuges, and forests to our readers.

LA Easly is a great friend of mine that I made this year, as well as someone I have always looked up to in class because of her confidence, grace, and ability to express herself so eloquently. She is also the former section head for the Sports section of The Conglomerate.

In case you didn’t already know, Callie Fedd has been our amazing Editor-in-chief this year, and I don’t think any of us could have asked for a better person to lead our newspaper. Leading is something that Callie did a lot of in her time at Centenary.
