■ HEMBER THEM James Hilton, one of today ' s foremost novelists, created in Mr. Chips a lovable college professor, who sat serenely by and watched the boys come and go, year after year, and stole a niche in the heart of each of them. As the youthful prep school students in the life of Mr. Chips, all of us regret the days when we, too, have to say ' ' Goodbye to our teachers. Though the freshman may come to Wake Forest with the preconceived idea that all college professors are eccentric and absent- minded, their notions are dispelled in a week. Straightway vanish the stories of college instructors who walk around in rain with umbrellas on their arms, or who put on two shirts and wonder where the first one disappeared. The Wake Forest faculty is human, down- to-earth, willing to go the last mile to help. Though his stay was short, we will never forget the late Donald Pfohl. s I J I I I Drs. Giddings and Jones seem- ingly enjoy the Phi Beta Kappa Banquet. We will never forget Dr. Hubert as a professor, a golfer, and most of all as a speaker. Dr. Folk plays many roles on our campus — teacher coach, j ournalist, speaker, and friend. Able to speak on any subject, Dr. Binkley leads one of the student group discussions. 23

Nevertheless, as in the case of any group, each one of our tutors has his individual traits which chisel into the minds of all of us those memories we retain forever. None of us can ever forget the perpetual quid in Dr. Bill Speas ' jaws or the enormous pipe of Dr. Hubert Poteat. When we have long forgotten whether it ' s hors d ' oeuvres or chef d ' oeuvre which wc eat, or whether the Treaty of Utrecht was signed in 171 3 or 1914. we will still remember the inseparable trio of Professors Parcell, Giddings, and West. Long will we see with televisual memory the reason that Dr. Pearson was called Skinny. ' ' We will never lose sight of the calm, ever unperturbed appearance of Dr. Broadus Jones, who is head of a department of versatile instructors . . . Prof. Aycock and his renditions of popular swing numbers, Prof. Ha good and his varied tap steps. Undoubtedly many of us will recall in 24
