MENT ASSOCIATION THE STUDENT LEGISLATURE The Student Legislature, which came into existence at Wake Forest College fifteen years ago, is the body whose primary function is to pass necessary laws for the enforce- ment of student government. The eleven legislators and twelve councilmen held several extra sessions in addition to their three regular meetings in October, February, and May. Realizing that former rules concerning dishonesty on examinations and pledged work (as found in Article XIII, Section 2 of the Constitution) were unsatisfactory, the Legislative Department passed Amendment VIII, which later became law when ratified by the Student Body. In order to make the old penalty less harsh and to enco urage good citizenship on the campus, the Legislature ruled that students found guilty of cheating should not be expelled until the second offense, that they fail the course in which they cheated, and that parents be notified of the action.

CHARLES I. HARRIS President WYATT NEWSOME Vice President JOSEPH JELKS Secretary -Treasurer STUDENT GOVERN- THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, organized at Wake Forest College in 1921, is at the head of student self-government. Its twelve members have met v eekly to dispense with neces- sary business, to try individuals accused of breaking college rules, and to discuss ways for bettering the student spirit on this campus. Under the presidency of Charles I. Harris, the out-going council has issued a revised student handbook, staged a freshman orientation week for introducing new men to Wake Forest, revived discussion on collegiate social activities, stirred up interest in the cheer-leading squad by making these positions elective, patrolled the campus enforcing discipline, passed judgment on alleged law- breakers, and instigated a reform against cheating by proposing the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution, and conducting a drive against dishonesty in all pledged college work.

REID STATON President HISTORY Seniority — what a coveted position, and what a short time has been spent in acquiring it! It seems that only yesterday we entered here and took our position as lowly Frosh under the domination of Sophomores. As we approach the end of our college career, we no longer think of each scholastic year as an independent unit; rather we see the unity of our college career as a whole, during which, under the guidance of helpful professors, our development has been gradual until at last we have reached our goal — graduation. We point with pride to the fact that the senior class has maintained the traditions ol its Alma Mater and has shared in all the vital activities of the campus — clubs, fraternities, literary societies, and inter-collegiate forensics. Our achievement in scholarship is indicated by the fact that about thirty of our class members will have on their diplomas honors ranging from cum laude to summa cum laude. Our class of one hundred and forty-six members is distinguished as the largest in the history of the college; however, our chief claim to distinction is our achievement of the purpose for which we have spent four years here on the campus — preparation for living a rich, happy and more abundant life. We graduate in the one hundred and second year since the founding of Wake Forest College, carrying with us the ideals and traditions of the college to be upheld hence- forth in the great college of life.
