w« ote i 1 lL t wm It in 1940-41: 1 What Wake Forest was in 1940-41 in general may best be summed up in twelve major divisions of campus life, activity, and surround- ings. What the year was to the individual student may never be known, or, on the other hand, it may be displayed somewhere some day in the future. Students gave life to a campus and buildings; and activity burned steadily through the thin pages of time until a year was gone, and now, at the end, our associations are spoken of in a retrospective past tense. The single year was a drama, a play enacted by nearly twelve hundred men, each playing roles with fellow dramatists as an audience. Working together on the production were faculty and students; the buildings composed a background; the faculty contributed knowledge; students generated companionship with other students; professional students exemplified perseverance; campus life connotated conviviality; religion developed devotion; publications perpetuated activity; athlet- ics demonstrated strength; honorary fraternities added dignity; social fraternities fostered friendship; music conveyed culture; forensics lent poise — all combined to present a drama of informality and formality, a play of words, deeds, and thoughts. Threading the life-of-one-year ' s moments into a single weave, the drama was of myriad patterns. Each actor played his role and some- day will look back to the production of 1940-41, when he was a fresh- man, sophomore, junior, senior, or professional student, to an autumn, winter and spring that he can ' t easily forget.

Jf However, we feel a peculiar pride in dedicating this book to Dr. Folk for his work with and among the publications at Wake Forest. Through seasons of waning strength, the publications have rallied under his ceaseless efforts and respected judgment. What had been shapeless forms of campus originality and desires to write have taken on a new contour under his guidance. Transformations have come about through changes made by student publications leaders inspired by the teachings of Dr. Folk. He has offered hours in time, days of work and worry, and the door of his office has never been closed to men who seek earnestly to find new threads of finer journalism in a baffling era. Dr. Folk is also a leader in other campus activities, spending much time during spring and autumn afternoons on the tennis courts, where he instructs the varsity players. He always has time for assistance in any worthy cause, and he is a devoted man of the home. Indeed, he personifies the enviable characteristics associated with brilliance in scholarship and Christian leadership; yet we like best to think of him as a newspaperman who has given his all to assist us in inter- preting for ourselves the often-confusing story of life, 1941. 74338
