S-73.1 ■ c-3 TO THE WAKE FOREST men who are fighting for their country, their world, and a better day: The student body of Wake Forest College in the spring of 1945 dedicates this book to all of you men and women who have in other times been members of this body but who arc now engaged in the tasks of World War IE Most of you we have never seen, but we feel that we know you because a few years ago. last car. last month you too were students at Wake Forest. You hurried into the same classrooms at the sound of the same bell, ' l ou joined the same fraternities, studied the same books, looked into the same mail boxes, bummed rides at the same corners. Now you are the 2,81)0 Wake Forest men in uniform. You are generals and privates, commanders and gobs, leathernecks, coast guardsmen and merchant seamen. You march in deep snow. You fight in the steam- ing jungle. You watch endless da s crawl by at sea. You dodge enemy flak among the stars. We are frequently reminded of you when a draft board summons one of us to join you. We know that the story behind the headlines and the news flashes is your story. We know that m u who once like us complained of Spanish and algebra now have longer, harder assignments in courses you did not choose. You who once like us arose reluctantly for an 8:30 history class (or slept through it) now awake at dawn, or earlier, to make history. You who once ' like us laughed at the heroes and cheered the heroines on the screen in the local theater are the heroes and the heroines in a greater, sadder drama. We have two reasons for dedicating this book to you. One is that these pages may remind us in our smaller, safer sphere that you, wherever you are, are still a part of Wake Forest; the other, that this gesture may stand as a pledge between us here and you there that when the fate of the world falls into our hands, your courage and strength shall not be unmatched nor your sacrifice unavailing.

August 1. 1944 A Growing College and a Changing World WE, THE STUDENTS at Wake Forest College in the year 1944-45, watched and were a part of jJ P forces that are bringing in a new day and a greater college. We were the first 132 girls to register during ne college year. We weie the Inst score of war vctcruils Lo ItLuxu Lu Wake Forest Or wr - f |T r)liin f Tin rl Jane College com- plaining about and enjoying college life in a transition year between the first I 10 years of Wake Forest and the future. We watched the plans being made and the funds being raised for the enlargement of the college. We looked at the architect ' s drawings for the new buildings. We began to give systematically toward the building of a Student Union. We saw the shadow of the future thrown across the campus bv the word university from the lips of the Baptist State Convention. Meanwhile, the nation held an election and two presidents were inaugurated, the hardest battles of the war were fought and the peace took shape. Tortured Europe and enslaved Pacific islands were slowly freed. The Big Three phase of planning for war and peace gave place to the San Francisco Conference. Nations bound together by war proved callable of united action for peace and the future. I liis bonk tells [he storv of the life oi Wake Forest students during this college year. But there appear bet ween the lines of this book, as there appealed behind the scenes of our life this year, signs of a growing college and a chang- ing world. Among the Magnolias Brick buildings, some old, some new, framed by the branches of the magnolia grandiflora. are [he home of Wake Forest College. THE STEEPLE 11 GORE GYMNASIUM 14 WAKE FOREST BAPTIST CHURCH 15 GORE GYMNASIUM WAKE FOREST BAPTIST CHURCH LKA LABOI! TOin 16 President THURMAN D. KITCHIN Faculty and THE MAN IN THE BIG OVERCOAT and the soft brown hat who walks leisurely up the brick walk seems as much a part of the campus as the magnolias and barberry hedges. And so he is. Dr. Kitchin was a student at Wake Forest for four years, sent three sons through his alma mater, taught on the faculty for over a decade and has been president for almost fifteen years. He has seen and helped the college grow from a men ' s school of 300 to a prospective university. Dr. Kitchin did not leave the profession of a physician when he became president of Wake Forest. He merely changed patients. He now contends not with the diseases and accidents that befall mankind but the damages done by fires and wars to a college. He now diagnoses not appendicitis but institutional growing pains. The skill Administration of a surgeon is seen as he handles the intricate problems connected with the life and growth of the College. The cordial manner of a family doctor appears as he jokes with a student or matches the problems of draft boards, poor grades, and dissatisfied freshmen with friendly and sound advice. The services Dr. Kitchin has rendered have not. how- ever, been limited to this school or even this state. He has written books of wide influence. He has given two sons to service in the battlefronts of this war. He has won recognition and opportunity for further service as a member of the National Committee of Veterans Plan- ning. Every past and present member of the student body has a friend worth having in Dr. Kitchin. a man in whom we place the utmost confidence. DANIEL B. BRYAN Dean of Libera Arts LOIS JOHNSON Dean of IT omen %■■:■ 57 y V 1 jfl Hi College Administrators THE PEOPLE who do the technical and administrative work of a college never have an easy time. But these four administrators have been particularly busy and es- sential to Wake Forest this year. Dr. Bryan helped keep the enrollment up in spite of adverse circumstances and advised war-worried students. Miss Johnson taught French replacing professors in the armed service, made plans for admitting a larger number of women to Wake Forest and helped with the main social and academic problems of the girls now in the student body. In ad- dition to their other duties. Mr. Earnshaw handled the funds of the enlargement campaign while Mr. Patterson found a new job in the complicated records of the veteran students. ELLIOTT B.

The have heroine a part of our lives and will be remembered long after the poets, the French verbs, the chemical formulas they talked about have become dim and confused blurs in our memories. We learned more from their love of [earning (ban from all the books. The jokes tliex cracked. the yarns they spun, the homely advice they offered made the subject interesting but made the man beloved. Dr. Jones made us feel like personal friends of Shakes- peare. Dr. Griffin introduced us to American Literature. Dr. Folk made Chaucer seem a contemporary, while Professor Brown patiently taught us to write themes. Professor West made European history real, and Dr. Rea showed us what makes the world go round economi- cally. We learned good stories from Professor Memory as well as education. We lost a lot of complacent under Dr. Reid and gained some knowledge of psychology. Ill JAMES G. CARROLL Associate Professor of Mathematics JOHN ALDERMAN FREEMAN Professor of Chemistry UTEIi WE HAVE FORGOTTEN all the cases in business law. we will remember seeing: Professor Tim- berlake with his black umbrella walking to the movies. c will remember Professor Aycock as adviser to speech ami drama groups and as the man who showed us the pictures af ter the artists ' names have fled. Dr. Gills vivid acounts of trips through Bible lands will stay with us though we may forget the names of the rivers. Or. Easley gave us a new understanding of the Bible which has become a part of our own thought, though Rehoboam and Jeroboam may become confused. The fact that Senorita Dowtin set lite whole class up to cokes during the exam will be remembered longer than the Spanish conversation. Sonic of us liked math and some of us did not. but we all liked the math professors. Professor Gay won the hearts of the freshmen co-eds. Professor Carroll taught, among other things, the difference between one star and another. Professor Jones I not pictured I made us study and like it. while Professor Raynor (also not pictured) put humor in mathematics. I nder the tutelage of Professor Freeman we became chemists. At least, if we didn ' t, it wasn ' t his fault. Dr. Bradburj and Dr. Cocke I whose pictures didn ' t turn out will I made us at home in the plant and animal king- doms and got some of us ready for tried school. Main faculty members were in military service this vear. leaving heavy loads for those here. CRONJE B.

JACKSON Director of Enlargement Program LOUISE ALBERTINE LEFLER Acting Director of Music WE INSIST that Dr. Earp was much more fun than Greek, while Dr. Hubert at the organ was a more familiar sight than a Latin text. Dr. Speas was fun in the physics lab and out of it. Professor Clonts and Dr. Pearson (not pictured) got us acquainted with primary sources of history. Mr. Jackson worked endlessly and fruitfully on the enlarge- ment campaign. The three voung instructors. Lefler. Cook, and Ar- lington were called by their first names and were our buddies. Dr. Mackie guarded our health. Mrs. Crittenden kept us supplied with parallel books. Mr. Olive arranged good chapel programs. Mr. Holliday kept the campus and the buildings in good condition and Coach Phil instructed our physical education. GEORGE C. MACKIE ETHEL T. CRITTENDEN ENGENE IRVING OLIVE WALTER H. HOLLIDAY PHIL M.

Tli« Student p Body (l THESE PAGES you meet the students of Wake Forest College for the academic year 1944-45. This student body set several precedents for the College. It was the youngest group in many years and the most strongly feminine ever to enroll at Wake Forest. In Sep- tember there were 552 students in the College. One hundred twenty of these were women and 293 were fresh- men. But mam withdrew to go into military service before the spring. On this page are the two groups the students chose to govern them. The Student Council oriented the fresh- men, put power behind the honor system, and fostered drives to keep the students behind the war. The Girls Council handled the problems of initiating girls into the life of a man s school. GIRLS COUNCIL, left to right, first Vick. Second row: Rachel Thompso Gilley.

When as freshmen, insignificant but secure, knowing everything about everything, we thought ahead to our Senior year, we saw ourselves as enviable big shots standing like demigods at the pinnacle ol our education. We laugh when we remember that day of our first registration at the college. We wandered around not knowing where to go or what to do. We gaped at the important looking seniors and longed to reach that goal. Well, we have reached it. And now a truth has dawned upon us. For sixteen years we have worn the snug cloak of education and been protected from the challenging winds of the world. Now the cloak is slipping from our shoulders and we can do nothing about it. Probably the predominant clement in the thought of everyone of us is fear. Where do we go now? Hov will we live? Will we wear the radiance of success or the slump of defeat? Most important of all. will we be happy? The world we must live in is not the steady, safe one we left four years ago. As always, it presents us with prospects of hardships and happiness, mingled justice and injustice. But there is the added element of un- certainty, of change. And we who have remained in school these years when our classmates were fighting will he expected to carry a double load of responsibility. We no longer have illusions about our own wisdom or capability, hut we are sure of one thing. If anyone can live well in this changing world, we can. We are Wake Forest men! 24 i_ n i r The Class of IWWl : Jl Mki ■ — i ■■■ii ■iiil 8  S ■ ■■• XSB1 1 - ■ H CLARENCE BOWEN was selected by the senior class as one of its outstanding members because of his fair and purposeful leadership of the student body and his versatile skills and interests.

Y. :sn The Junior Class WE FELT PRETTY SPECIAL when we got to be juniors. Hearsay had always given the junior year the reputation of being the best one. and we wanted to see for ourselves. From registration da until final exams we have enjoyed being juniors. We liked registering with major professors instead of freshmen advisers. Il was wonderful to have more choice in the courses we took and to be able to specalize in the subjects we liked. The fellows were delighted to find that there were more girls in this class than in any other, and the girls were pleased because the men outnumbered them so nicely. Those of us who transferred after two years in other schools became enchanted with Wake Forest. We all were glad to have two tough years behind us and were eager to get our teeth into the work we came here to do. Becoming a junior we decided, was like walking out- doors in the dead ol winter and smelling spring in the air. Our college davs were half over. We could see our Senior vear just ahead and graduation as near to us as freshmen orientation. We were surprised at first and then proud to find the lowei classmen looking up to us. It made us realize that we were kids no longer but the campus leaders in fraternities, athletics, class work, vari- ous phases of Christian service, and student government. We cculd appreciate Wake Finest more this year than ever before. The friendship between facultj and students, the freedom to think as we please, the professors ' prod- ding us to make us think all meant more this year. The quiet of our campus, the student bull sessions, the chapel services, the very fact that we were students at Wake Forest in 19-15 all took on new importance this year when we were juniors. 31 THE .11 .MO IK CLASS John Dallas Allgood.

We felt dignified from the first, for we were here last year and definitely knew our way around. . . . We felt learned and were free with our advice to the fresh- men. ... We telt more serious about our work, for we were finding that our own world and the world outside were pretty serious things. ... At the same time, we felt a new amusement at ourselves and at the world, for laughter, we began to see. is one of the most important and most beautiful things in the world. ... We fell a new responsibility about the future and little by littl our rather nebulous plans began to straighten themselves out. ...We began to find ourselves. WE FRESHMEN WALKED onto the campus for the first time last June or September. In our first year in college, we have experienced a great deal. Home- sickness for one thing, but with it the luxurious inde- pendence of being away from home. . . . The challenge of academic success and that dare to think deepl) that W ake Forest has thrown to her sons for over Inn years. . . . The deliciousness of being in love, perhaps for the first time. . . . The big dances. . . . The warmth and wisdom of our professors. . . . The feeling ol power in being much the largest class in school. . . . The determination to get the most out of one more carefree year before the draft.

Jack Who ' s Who Among Students ll.l [K WMKI) Who ' s Who Among Students in American I niversities and Colleges is published every year at the University of Alabama. lis purpose is to recognize the students who hdve distinguished them- selves in the fields of character, scholarship, leadership in extra-curricular activities, and potentiality for future usefulness. The I k serves not only as an honor to lliose chosen hut as a guide to eniplo eis and others in- terested in promising college graduates. The Wake Forest men anil women to lie included in the book are chosen each year by a committee of facult) members and leading students. Those selected for the 1945 volume, whose pictures appear above, in- clude students know the campus as athletes, actors, writers, good students, fraternity leaders, religious lead- ers, good fellows ami B.M.O.C. ' s. Upon election to Who ' s Who a student receives a fat envelope of forms and questionnaires to be filled out. He is asked to relate his biography, predict his Future and state his opinion on matters of liotli world-wide and nonexistent importance. I mm this material the hook is written, including data on the students individual and interesting fads about what they think. After returning his quest! aire, the student has no further duties until time for the next election. For stu- dents in Who ' s Who have no organization, no dues, and no meetings. They can. however, purchase a copy of the current volume of Who ' s Who and gloat over it proudly. Ms,, they can, and often do, add the Who ' s Win, key to their key chain ... jewelry box, as the case may he. and flourish It u] all proper occasions. 54 ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS TWO NEW ORGANIZATIONS PROCLAIM Seated, left to right- Gloria Blanton, President, Dr. J.

The Religions Education Club WITH TIIK SUCCESS of the enlargement campaign and the return of peace, Wake Forest will expand. New faculty members will come and old ones now on leave will return. New departments, new elective subjects, new major fields will appear in the catalog to help In the sons and daughters of the College For the changing world the) ill live in. Already one foreword of this postwar growth lias appeared on the campus in the new major field offered for the first time this year— religious education. During the fall semester of 1944 the students taking this major formed a club, lis purpose was to promote nnih a ig the futuic workers in religion- education and to help them find and fill their places in their field upon graduation. The constiution of the club was adopted January 11. 1945. with about twenty-five charter members. During the year Gloria Blanton has presided over the club with the aid of Anne Johns as vice president, Nancy Leonard as secretary and Dr. J. Allen Easley as faculty adviser. Once a month the club lias met to hear - ■ authority in the field of education in the churches speak. The initial fund for the treasury was raised by the sale of Student Directories just before Christmas. Not only was this sale useful financially but it served to make the student body as a whole aware of this new organiza- tion. gain in February the students were reminded of this young club, this sign of a growing college, when the group gave a program in student assembly com- memorating the founding of the college.

The Veterans Club THE PICTURE of men who have spent weeks under gunfire now strolling under the magnolias beneath a sunny sky. the idea of men who were wounded in the world ' s fiercest battles now sitting in English and math classes in a little Baptist college, seems startling. But this paradox is true and the Veterans Club, founded at Wake Forest College in October 1944. is living proof of it. In the summer of 1944 it became apparent that the peaceful campus of Wake Forest was in the immediate future to welcome an ever-growing number of ex-service men back into civilian life. The idea of a club for all the student veterans began to grow in the minds of Rufus Potts and George Owens, two discharged soldiers. Dur- ing the fall semester the movement took shape, rein- forced by Coy Eaves. Marine veteran and holder of the Purple Heart, and Lew Smith. Professor K. T. Ravnor. a veteran of World War I. was secured as faculty adviser. At his suggestion Basil Watkins, Durham law- yer and Wake Forest graduate, drew up a formal constitution for the organization, assisted by Henry -Napier. Naval veteran. Seventeen veterans enrolled in the College and Professor Raynor became charter members. Brantley Jolly and Ernest Chapell led the club as presidents. The chief activities of the club in its first year of life have been a campaign to send the Old Gold and Black to Wake Forest men in service, a banquet on Friday. April 13. two chapel programs presented to the whole student body, and a campaign to equip the S.5. Wake Forest with a library. This club, the first of its kind to appear on a N. C. campus is proof of the fact that Wake Forest is in touch with the fast-moving world. 57 Lefier at the MUSIC IN THE LIFE OF EVERY STUDENT MUSIC IS IN THE LIFE of every student. All through the day everybody whistle? popular tunes, semi- classics, hym ns, snatches of opera and hill-hilly tunes. From Hunter Dorm come the strains of clarinet, saxo- phone and trumpet. From the Music and Religious Build- ing you can hear a piano at almost any time. And on warm evenings the greatest music of the world plays throughout the campus from the tower of Wait Hall, as students gather on the grass helow to listen. One of the parts of the chapel services which everyone enjoys most is the singing of great hymns. The church is filled with lusty voices as Dr. Hubert leads with the organ and everyone follows with whatever vocal ca- pacity he possesses. I he department of music suffered a blow when Pro- fessor Thane McDonald left last year for the Navy. But his shoes have been well filled by Miss Eerier who teaches, directs and even cracks jokes in good Mr. Mac stvle. She has had the cooperation of all the students in keep- ing Wake Forest singing all through the war. Page. Mil McDaniel. Vaughan, Caudill. Floyd. Wall. Howell Second row: Crowder. Boone, Garland.

The percentage of sopranoes and altos reached a new high. a woman was directing a mixed glee club and there were three girls singing tenor. The annual Christmas Vesper Service was held just before the Christmas holidays and was the music depart- ment ' s first concert of the year. The Glee Club and the male octet and female sextet all sang. Probably the most impressive number was Handel from The Messiah. In March Hallelujah Chorus second concert was The Wake Forest Symphonette was small but determined this vear. Though the number of pieces varied during the year the rehearsals kept up. The Symphonette took part in the Christmas Vesper Service and furnished musical training and pleasure for its members all the vear. First Miss left Albertine Letter. to right: Louise Leslie Fowler.

Robert Religion a Vital Part of Our Lives AWARE OF THE VALUABLE religious heritage of iheir college and sensing a need for realistic and deep religious thinking in this turbulent world, Wake Forest students worshipped with new meaning this year. The chapel services, vespers every night after supper, the worship services of the church, classes in religion, the organizations of the B.S.L . and religious focus week all helped the students to find a sound basis in religion on which to live their lives. The spiritual life of the campus was guided by Chaplain Eugene Olive and the Baptist Student Union Council. This group met every Sunday night under the leadership of President John Chandler and planned a vital religious life for the student body. Its work this year included sending thirty representatives to the state B.S.I, con- vention in Charlotte, X. C, holding a number of Open Houses for the student body and getting the plans for Religious Focus Week started. Cooperating with the Student Council, the B.S.U. Council raised mone lor the World Student Service Fund so that Wake Forest College reached a helping hand to some students caught in the misfortunes of war. An event on the school calendar which will never be forgotten was Religious Focus Week in April. Ten out- standing Christian leaders came and helped us focus Christianity upon our whole college life. Meaningful worship services, seminars on problems of Christian liv- ing today, talks in class meetings, informal discussion groups and personal conferences brought every student into touch with the team. There was no student or faculty member whose life was not richer after the week, made successful only by the cooperation of all. Perhaps the most meaningful religious experience dur- ing the year was found by some students in the evening vesper services held ever) week da in the church audi- torium. Under the direction of Dewey Hobbs this daily period of quiet worship attracted an ever-growing crowd of students. The soft organ music, the singing of hymns, the scripture reading and brief talks In different students were truly a rest upon the wa from the burning of the noontide heat ami the burden of the day. 61 THE COLLEGE SUNDAY SCHOOL is the oldest .-Indent religious organization on the campus and our oi the most influential. This year for the first time the students met in the little chapel in the religion building. Bobbj Crapps acted as superintendent over the three classes composed entirely of college people and taught by three professors. Dr. Reid taught one class which had as its presidents for the two semesters of the year Jean Bryant and Virginia Gilley. Professor Carroll ' s class was presided over by Macon Green and Dewey Hobbs, while Dr. Bryan taught the group led by Malbert Smith and Mary Frances Combs. DURING ' 44- ' 45 THE BAPTIST TRAINING Union was directed on the campus l Rogers Chenault. The Cullom. Reid, and Howard Unions and the Forum met every Sunday night to give their members training in Christian thinking and leadership. All of the unions had at least one social during the year to add variety to the calendar of events. In March an average of 54 students attended and enjoyed a B.T.U. study course taught by the Rev. Law Mobley on Planning a Life. THE MAIN PROJECT of the Christian Service Group. led this term by Donald kevser.was sending Sunday school teachers to neighboring churches that needed them on Sunday mornings. Jimmie Mattox went regularly to a colored (lunch and put on a Christmas party for his pupils with the help of the group and other organizations. Front row. left to riijht: Billie Collier.

The Y.W.A. Ministerial Conference AN INTEREST in Christian World Missions is kept growing on the campus by the Y.W.A. This year Rachel Thompson was the president. There were three circles. Mills. Gill and Gillespie, composed of girls on the three dorm floors. The ways which the Y.W.A. found this year to help the program of world missions were in giving clothing to war refugees in Europe through the American Friends Service Committee, buying sweaters for needy colored children at Christmas time, and contributing their monex to the Home and Foreign Mission boards. Their work in studying missions included a study course on China led by Mrs. Frank P. Lide and a program given at the mid-week prayer service in cooperation with the WM.l. of the church. NAMED IN HONOR of Dr. W. R. Cullom. Professor Emeritus of Religion, the Cullom Ministerial Conference is the organization of preachers and future preachers among the student body. It was led this year by President Ed Humphrey, vice president L. M. Kanipe and Secretary- Treasurer Eugene Deese. Each Tuesday evening the Conference met to hear speakers discuss topics of in- terest and help to young ministers. Two chapel programs were given by the Conference during the year and two social events. An informal party was held at Christmas time, and then in March the annual formal banquet known as the Prophets Frolic ' 7 proved to be a gala occasion for all the Prophets and their auests.

For 110 years ■resting career and have heen an important part of the college. The societies have imparted to their sons and daughters skill in public speaking, the habit of clear and natural self expression, organized methods of procedure, and many other valuable aids to leadership in their world. This year the Euzelian ' s have done some outstainding work. The membership reached numbers unprecedented in recent years. Over a hundred were enrolled. For a time there was standing room only and the society finally had to close its doors to new members. Girls became in- creasingly active in the society and its work. The Eu ' s have presented excellent programs arranged by a student committee. There were occasional guests, hut the members did most of the speaking. They gave two chapel programs and were well represented on Society Day. Bill McGill and Austin Chauncey debated while Nancy Leonard and Harold Spangler gave orations.

WHILE THE EUZELIANS had an unusually large enrollment this year and good attendance at the meet- ings, they knew that not all the Eu ' s were in the hall on Monday night. For many who were leading Eu s in other years and scores who would normally have heen members this year now were fighting on a hundred battle fronts. Some were in V-12 programs like ex-president, Ernest Glass. Former members like Keck. Bumgarner and Sherrill followed varied military and naval careers. Some of them got bark to the campus for occasional visits, but to most. Wake Forest and the Eu Society were only pleasant memories.

Memo THE PUBLICATIONS BOARD AT 10:30 ON THL ' RSDAY MORNINGS the English office on the second floor of Wait Hail has often been the scene of an informal and somewhat hectic meeting. There the Publications Hoard meets, when called, to transact some important business from the point of view of the College. Since a college is judged from the outside very largely on the basis of its publications I and its foot- ball team I the election of the editors and the business managers, the work of the board, is no trivial matter. This year the Board has been called into session con- tinuously as the draft boards and the unsettled circum- stances of the times deeply affected the college publica- tions. When the editor of Old Gold and Black- graduated after first semester, when the business manager of The Howler was drafted, the board bad to see to it that somehow the deadlines continued to he met. A cut in the publications budget and a drastic shortage of trained people were almost unsurmountable obstacles in the path of the journalists, but somehow the Old Gold and Black and The Howler continued to play a big role in the life of the college. The responsibility of the board in 1944-45 was to keep the standards of the newspaper and the yearbook as high as possible under the adverse circumstances. By the use of foresight and good judgment on the part of the board and with the return of better fortune, the College will again see easy sailing on publications row and the resurrection of The Student, the college magazine. 69 Jr., Editor; Fred Hofi THE OLD GOLD AND BLACK Old Gold mid Black, like main other worth) causes in this changing world, has been battling for its existence this year. At times there almost was no paper, but backed by a hard working and determined few. spurred on by Dr. Folk, it held its ground and went to press much the same as in former years, except for the feminine majority on the staff. ' Hooey Brantley left his job as business head of Old Gold in September to become head nf the editorial staff. He appointed Al Jennings sports editor, and once again the spoils page had a column and complete coverage of athletics. Fred Hofmann became business manager and handled the financial affairs of ihe paper Right: Three comely co-eds compose copy. all year. Though Editor Brantley graduated in Janu- ary, his name remains til this day in bold white letters of his own painting on the front of the main desk in OG B. At the beginning of the second term the paper was left without an editor, and a new experiment was begun. An editorial council took charge, made up of four mem- bers, Al Jennings. Simmons Fentress, Nan Lacy Harris, up the ad section. Folk. Marshall and Brinkley and Charlotte Boone. It was the joh of these four to gather news and together with Dr. Folk, lo make assignments and lay out the paper. In late February, a former editor, and alumna. Martha Ann Allen, was asked to be editor pro tent. Under her editorship. Old Gold and Black was published for three weeks. When Miss Allen became Mrs. Turnage, the paper was again in the hands of the editorial council. Nan Lacy Harris and Simmons Fen- tress took the paper over as co-editors for a week at the time. On alternate weeks the team of Charlotte Boone and Al Jennings put it out. Always.

THIS YEAR when the eyes of the public are centered on world events and tin- soon-to-appear international organization, the International Relations Club has had an important function to perform. Sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for Intel national l ' eace this club works to promote understanding of world problems among college students. The [RC on the Wake Forest campus started off its year ' s work under Simmons Fentress. Campbell Mc- Millan was vice president. Sybil Jolly, secretary- treasurer and Dick Griffin, program chairman. Profes- sor F. W. Clonts of the Social Science Department was adviser for the club. At the beginning of the second semester the list of officers changed to president, Dick Griffin; vice president. Mack Parrish; secretary. Bill Hough; program chairmen, Harry Wright and Parmalee Pridgen. There has been a membership this year of about 25 social science majors and others concretely in- terested in the events of the world. They have met every two weeks to hear talks by students and take part in in- formal discussions. Much of the material used in the programs of the IRC is furnished by the Carnegie Endowment. Fortnightly reviews of important world events, a magazine of Foreign Policy and valuable current books on interna- tional subjects are regularly sent to the campus and put to use by the club. Memorable programs this year have been held on the subjects of various proposed peace plans, the Dumbarton Oaks Conference, the rehabilita- tion of France, postwar China, and international cartels.

LFTTLE THEATER THIS SPRING the Wake Forest College Little Theater celebrated its fourth birthday. These past four years have seen the dramatic efforts of the college grow from nothingness, through uncertain and competitive stages, into a well organized group staging polished productions four times a year. The Little Theater has had several firsts in its career this season. For the first time it has owned a room primarily for the storage of its property, but also for the lounging of its members in their spare time. For the first time it has bought furniture and other stage property. For the first time it has taken a dramatic production off the campus and staged a three act play before a foreign audience. The first semesters work was done under the leader- ship of Leslie Fowler, as president. Clarence Bowen as vice president, Alice Holliday as secretary, and Shelton Lewis as treasurer. The outstanding event of that term was a trip to Fort Bragg with the play. Night Must Fall. Actors, actresses, stage crew, and makeup artists piled all their paraphernalia, including a complete stage set. into an army truck. Then they crawled into an army bus and were off for one day of army life. They were hospitably received and the first off-the-campus produc- tion was acclaimed a success from every angle. Alice Holliday was president during the second semester aided by Emily Crandall as vice president. Nan Harris as secretary, and Dick Griffin as treasurer. There were difficulties and obstacles in the path of the actors but the standard of four plays a year was upheld. Since the last publication of The Howler the produc- tions of the four seasons have been Dark- I ' ictory, The Late Christopher Bean, Night Must Fall, and My Man Godfrey. All through the year there was a growing bond of unity among the dramatists and an effort to keep new pledges and new members trained so that there would be no slump in the quality of the drama at Wake Forest in the future.

SIGMA PI ALPHA Modern Language Fraternity EVERY TWO WEEKS the senoritas and senors meel with the mademoiselles and monsieurs to exhibit and to improve their divers tongues. Formally known as the Epsilon Chapter (if Sigma Pi Alpha, h an modern language fraternity, this group has been active and talkative on the Wake Forest campus since 1931. The big event of the 1944-45 season in linquistic circles was the admission of the Spanish students into the frat. Following the temporary shut-down of the German department because of the wartime professor shortage, the French department had been the only one represented in the fraternity. But tlii fall the chapter voted unanimously to admit the Iberians thus increasing its number and activity. During this year Billie Collier and Jeanne Wall -cr rd as presidents. Bill Bland and Bea Gulledge as vice presi- dents and Betty Lide and Jimmy Godsey as secretary- treasurers. Miss Lois Johnson and li ell Dowtin. professors of French and Spanish respectively, were honorary members and advisers to the group. Most of the members attended the annual banquet given during April in Raleigh by the national headquarters of Sigma Pi Alpha, located at N. C. State College. BILLIE COLLIER ETA SIGMA PHI Classical Language Fraternity AN ORGANIZATION [hat does some quiet and in- conspicuous but at the same time very effective work is Eta Sigma Phi. the classical language fraternity. Each year before the opening of school the chapter at Wake Forest mails letters to the prospective freshmen advising RAY LEE GREENE them to begin or continue study in either Latin or Greek. This year, due largely to these letters, enrollment in the Greek Department increased 200 per cent while the Latin classes included 300 per cent more students than last vear. Thus the purpose of Eta Sigma Phi. to promote and develop interest in classical study among college students, is carried out in a very concrete way. The officers of the chapter this year have been : Ray Lee Greene, president: Peyton Royal, vice president; Nancy Easlev. secretarv: John Chandler, treasurer. Dr. C. B. Earp, Professor of Greek and Dr. H. M. Poteat, Professor of Latin are faculty advisers. New members initiated in the spring were: H. Anderson. C. Carroll. W. Grass. R. Herring. D. Hobbs, B. E. Honeycutt, E. Humphrey. L. Johnson, W. McGill, L. Morphis, M. C. Newton, Jr.. A. Pitt. Y. T Smith. B. Woodward. The chapter heard an outstanding classicist speak this Spring when Dr. B. L.

PHI DELTA OMEGA Pre-Law Fraternity PHI DELTA OMEGA, the fraternity for pre-legal students, has had a good year after many ups and downs. It was founded al Wake Forest in 191(1. During 1941- 12 it nearly died out because of the srreat exodus of stu- dents to the army. It was revived in 1943 only to suffer another relapse in 1943-44. Jack Coble. Jim Cox and Sankey Robinson, three pre- law students, became distressed over the plight of the fraternity aforesaid and in the fall of 1944 brought it from oblivion again into its rightful place as an active and recognized honorary fraternity. There has been a membership this year of over twenty future lawyers and the group has met regularly every two weeks. Sankey Robinson has held the gavel while other officers during the year have been Jack Coble. Rill Hough. Jim Cox. Sibyl Jolly and Fred Hofmann. The subjects treated in the program- included the historj of the Wake Forest Law School, the history of ibe practice of law, and famous men of the Wake Forest Law School. Phi Delia Omega sent seven representatives lo tin- Student Legislature in the stale capital in the fall.

Rcttford GAMMA NU IOTA Pre-Medieal Fraternity ON EVERY OTHER THURSDAY night this year you could have found a group of future doctors con- gregating in the auditorium of the Johnson Building. Sometimes they were hearing a guest speaker. Some- times they were just meeting to have their picture taken for The Howler, to elect or initiate new members or to plan a party. Just before Christmas you could have found them all at a big banquet hearing Dr. O. C. Brad- bury, their faculty adviser, pass out some out-of-the-class- room advice as speaker. This score or so of pre-meds of both sexes compose the fraternity. Gamma Xu Iota, an organization which had its birth on the Wake Forest campus in the fall of 1937. Since then it has come to be the spokesman for the always large percentage of pre-medical students enrolled here. The membership of the frat is composed of pre-meds who have completed 12 hours of work in science, have a C average and are elected by Gamma Nu Iota. During the fall semester Yick Sacrinty was president of the fraternity while Manly Brunt. Livingston Johnson and Campbell McMillan filled the other offices. Radford Butler served as president for the second term aided by Blister Mabe, Ozmer Henry and Evelyn McDaniel. 81 DELTA KAPPA ALPHA Ministerial Fraternity PERHAPS THE BEST STUDENTS on the campus this year have been those studying for the ministry. Aware and appreciative of the fact that they were among the few permitted to stay in college during the war, the future ministers have applied themselves to their work with real diligence. The preachers were older than the average student this year and many had fewer extra- curricular activities. F or these reasons the ministerial fraternity stood higher with respect to scholarship than any other organization, with the exception of Phi Beta Kappa. Since 1932 Delta Kappa Alpha has been an organiza- tion on the Wake Forest campus composed of the min- isterial students who have won acclaim as future scholars and leaders in the ministry. Though the fraternity has never undertaken extensive activities, its very exist- ence on the campus has been a good influence. Though it has often met only irregularly (as was the case this year) its high standards for membership have made it respected. Election to Delta Kappa Alpha has always been considered a true honor in ministerial circles. This year the officers of the fraternity were: president, Donald Keyser; vice president. Clyde Chapman; secretary-treasurer. Yates Bingham. The other members were Charles Carroll. John Chandler. Kay Lee Greene, W. P. Smith, and W. T. Smith. Dr. J. Allen Easley was their adviser. 82 First row, left to right. Jeanne Wall. Sibyl Jolly. Clarence Bowen. Tom Arrington. Second row: Emily Crandall. Shelton Lewis. Alice Hollidav. Third row.

ALPHA PSI OMEGA Dramatic Fraternity THE PEOPLE who wander around the campus calling each other Worthy playmaker are. as you might guess, the colleges leading dramatists, or the members CLARENCE BOWEN of Alpha Psi Omega. Since April 1943, when the Theta Omega chapter of Alpha Psi was founded here, mem- bership in its cast has been the aspiration of all the actors, actresses, make up artists, prompters, and techni- cal crew men in the Little Theater. To become a member the aspirant must accumulate sixtv points to his credit by doing a specified amount of work on the productions. During the 1944-45 season. Clarence Bowen was presi- dent of the fraternity. Sibyl Jolly was vice president, Emily Crandall. secretary. In addition to the mem- bers in the picture, seven dramatists had accumulated enough dramatic experience and enough points to be pledged by Alpha Psi in the spring. The pledging ritual was gotten out and dusted off again to admit: . H. Bland. John Bunn. Oren Hill. Jim Hobbs, Jerry Inscoe, Ernest tl and Mack Panish. ;■;:: PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL THE BODY WHICH SERVES as congress, cabinet and supreme court to the fraternities on the campus is the I ' au-Hellenic Council. Every Tuesday night two representatives from each fraternity meet and function as this important organ. Their topics of business include everything from the date of the next dances to whether the council shall have its Howi.ER pictures taken in tails or overalls. The major responsibilities of Pan-Hell are in govern- ing the activities of the fraternity chapters. Rules about rushing, pledging and initiating new men are made each year and offenders are tried and punished by the coun- cil. Plans for the dances are a major concern. Ar- rangements for orchestras, chaperones, publicity, fiat house parties, all pass through the hands of Pan-Hell. Intramural sports and other joint activities of the fra- ternities fall under the jurisdiction of the council. It encourages outstanding work by frat members by award- ing cups each year to the chapters leading in athletics and scholarship. A project sponsored this spring for the heautification of Fraternity Row was the plowing and planting of the lawn in front of Simmons Dorm. An important behind-the-scenes function of the council is to serve as a connecting bridge between the faculty and the fraternities. Elmer (Bullet) Barbour held the office of president of Pan-Hell, this year, the highest fraternity office on the campus. He was assisted by Al Jennings as vice presi- dent, Sankey Robinson as secretary and Dick Griffin as 1 1 i-.i ii r ii , FRATERNITIES 85 ALPHA KAPPA PI Qoustded J -V. iiiifc Sacrinty. Ralph Tate.

The AKPi s were the champs of the league, closing their season with five wins and no defeats. This year was the first time in three years that the college gym was available for the intramural cage leagues. The fraternity league consisted of teams from the six chapters on the campus, and competition was keen. To climax the season, an all-star team was selected Iroin the fraternity teams to oppose an all-star team from the non-fraternity loop, and the frat men decisivel) whipped the non-frats to end a very successful year. The significance of this successful loop cannot be over- looked — it means that, no matter how scarce experienced men are on the campus, the fraternities plan to continue with their all-round programs of athletics, politics, social affairs, and scholarship.

The Baptists ' lone score came in the third period on a 57-yard march. The touchdown was set up by the old statue of liberty play, Bob Smathers running eighteen yards to the Tar Heel six. Rock Brinkley bucked over from there. The score does not tell how badly Carolina was mauled, the Deacs racking up 12 first downs to Carolina ' s one. and outgaining the Tar Heels 182 yards to 30. WAKE FOREST JOURNEYED to Georgia for its second game of the 1941 season, and emerged with a 14-7 victory oxer the Bulldogs in Athens. Fullback Rock Brinkley scored both Deacon tallies, bucking over from inside the five-yard line. Again Wake Forest outgained its opponents, getting 11 first downs against Georgia ' s five, and rushed for a total of 127 yards, while the Bulldogs could gain only 45 through the bis Deacon line.

It was the Deacs ball game all the way, as they scored twice in the first period. Brinkley gets credit for two touchdowns and Barbour. Smathers. Fetzer and Leonard for one each. The Wake forest line, through its sterling plav, proved that it was one of the best in the South. The victory placed Wake Forest on top in the Southern Con- ference, at that time.

This ancient rivalry, almost fifty years old, was brought to the boiling point by several penalties for roughness early in the game. For the Deacs. it was the toughest game of the young season, as State, playing over its head, held the Walker machine to a lone score in the first half. However, the Deacs got tough in the second half of the game, scoring in both the third and fourth periods. TOUTED AS ONE of the best teams in the nation. Wake Forest treked down to the famous Orange Bowl to hand the Miami Hurricanes a 27-0 licking. The Deacons played their best game of the season in this battle. Freshman tailback Tom Fetzcr stole the show with his passing and running. The game was witnessed by 20,000 fans. Jim Harris and G lead Sacrinty for 10 yards off tackle in S. C. game. 105 nty, 42; Owens, 38; Barbour. 37; THE CLEMSON TIGERS came to Deacontown to op- pose the Deacons on Homecoming Day, and sneaked back to Clemson with a 13-7 licking tied to their tail. The wear and tear, as well as the pressure of an un- beaten season, on the Deacs was evident in this listless hall game. The Deacons eked out their win on two touchdowns by Rock Brinkley. This gave Brinkley a total of 66 points for the season. ITH A POSSIBLE Rose Bowl bid hanging in the fire, Wake Fores! journeyed lo Durham to lake on ihe mighty Blue Devils of Duke University. Wake Forest fans saw the bowl bid go up in smoke, as Duke, playing inspired ball, derailed the undefeated Baptists 34-0 before 34,000 fans. The alkermen started like a house afire, marching to the Duke six-yard line in the first period, but Duke held. From then on. it was a track meet, with the Devils doing the running and Wake Forest chasing. The Deacs were handicapped tremendously because of injuries, six of the starters having bad leg injuries. AS AN ANTI-CLIMAX to its football season, Wake Forest with a sensational last half rally, triumphed over the South Carolina Gamecocks 19-13 in Charlotte on Thanksgiving Day. It was the last game of the year for the Deacons. It was all Rock Brinkle; for the Deacons. He scored twice, for a total of 7o points for the season and top honors in the conference scoring race. Il was one of the most thrilling games ever seen in this state, this Deac-Gamecock scrap, and Brinkley was the difference in the two teams. He gained more ground than the entire staff of South Carolina ball carriers. and Nick Ognovich. 106 BASKETBALL Captain Marney and Manager Behm discuss basketball BASKETBALL returned to the varsity schedule for the first time in two years for the Dears, and although the season was poor in wins, it was a good one for Wake Forest. Wake Forest dropped fourteen games, while winning only three, hut had the season lasted a little longer, the Deacs probably would have increased their win column. Coach Murray Greason was seriously handicapped by the lack of experience among the squad, not a single player having ever played college ball before. Too, because of the Christmas holidays and the term ending earlv in January, the squad was short on practice when the season opened. The Ueacs bowed twice to Carolina. Duke. State, Morris Field, and Carolina Pre-Flight, and lost single engage- ments to Catawba, Smithfield, and Fort Bragg. The 107 Milton Marney, Pride Ratterre Second row: Truett Hall. Jim O ' Brien. Deacons ' victims were Atlantic Christian. High Point College, and an upset win over Catawba, after losing to the Indians earlier in the season. The brightest spot in the Deacon season was this 41-38 victor) over Catawba. The Indians were rated as one of the best basketball teams in the country, receiving an in- vitation to play in the Intercollegiate Tournament at Kansas City. However, true to Greason ' s prediction that the Deacons would improve as the season progressed, the Baptist- had little trouble in taking the Indians in their next to the last game of the year. The most significant point of the season was the fact that basketball had returned to the Wake Forest winter sports schedule, and tin- game is here to stay, come what ma . Greason had stated earlier in the season that he wanted the Baptists to have a basketball team, and that the object of the season was to bring about that return, ami not I,, win ball games. Tin ' Deacs were led l Jim O ' Brien and Vernon Muslian in the scoring column. Mustian and O ' Brien scored 121 and 112 points respectively during the season. Captain Milton Marney. John Bruno, and Dick Larkins were the doormen who did the ball handling, all three boys turning in nice jobs. The first team was aided by fine relief from the second teams, with Nesbitt, Itatterree. and T. Hall doing more than their share of the work. Several of these boys, as well as Marney and Bruno will- be back next season to give Greason ih icleus for a winning ball club. 108 MBti v i M A IrU 1 L . liSa w2 ' M Fifli Abore: Larkins drops one in in the Fort Bragg game.

That dazzling green on the walls is the result of the skillful painting of the athletes themselves. In February the Monogram Cluh. tired of meeting in a classroom, secured the use of this room and went to work renovating it. The fund for the expenses was raised from alumni and friends of the college, and all those making contributions were made honorary members of the Monogram Club. The floors were sanded and re- finished, the walls and wood-work painted, and big. soft chairs and sofas were moved in. Now not only does Thursday night find all the letter-men present, but the room is full of athletes and the girls they go with all week long. Presided over this year by Elmer I Bullet I Barbour. the club is composed of all men who have won a letter m any of the major competitive sports, and have been recommended b their each ami elected by the club. The other officers this year were Buck Garrison and Nick Sacrmity. vice presidents; John Bruno, secretary; and Dewey Hobbs, treasurer. After basketball season, a group of new members was initiated. The purpose of the Monogram Cluh is to encourage sportsmanship and help build good athletic teams on the campus. It builds team spirit and enforces training rules during the football and basketball seasons. It gives everyone who goes out for a team something to work for in winning a letter. The bond of friendship that grows among its members is as strong and as permanent as the spirit of one big team. First row. left to right: Bill Berim. Jii Garrison.

FOR THE FIRST TIME in over five years the non- fraternity men on the campus had a basketball league of their own. It was composed of six good teams, and competition was strong. The Lions came out the winners of the loop and went on to defeat the AKPi ' s, the fraternity winners, for the campus championship. There were two girls teams competing this year for the first time. Most of the talent seemed to live on third floor but the team composed of the girls from the first and second floors put up a good fight. This year ' s intramural basketball season proved that the non-frat boys can hold their own with the fraternities in athletics. More significantly, the ground-work may have been laid for a future complete intramural athletic program. GIRLS ' TEAMS, third hams. Bell, Ennis, Um- stead. Woodward. First ajid second floors: Moore.

CAMPUS LIFE 113 A College Day at a Glance A WAKE FOREST STUDENT in any class in any season of the year exhibits a fundamental col- legiate pattern of life.

Sometimes too he studies; at least, he sits in the librarj or at a desk in his room. lie Hears loud flannel shirts or pig tails when the notion strikes him (or her). He goes for fads like crew hair cuts and she puts pennies in her shoes. He laughs at his professors but he likes them. He joins l ts of organizations. He bums to Raleigh at least once a week. He complains bitterly about the cigarette shortage. He goes to the P. 0. as regularly and about as often as he goes to meals. She is always expecting a letter from overseas and the check from home is always overdue. He hangs out at Bostwick. He finds a steady date, often at the cost of a frat pin. He never goes to bed before midnight and often the wee small hours find him in a bull session or a poker game, or making a zealous last minute effort to pass a quiz. His mornings are consumed with sleep (the amount depending mi how convenient his schedule is and how loud his professors talk), and chapel and classes and studying I which often takes the Form of helping a sweet little freshman with her trig) and eating, at Snyder ' s and more formally ai li- ,|,i ,,, Ii . 1!

The hall outside is constantly full of loafers who shoot bull and sing and play ping pong and wander in and out of the offices thereabouts. After a while, some drift off to glee club rehearsal, others to watch spring practice. After supper the library grows crowded. A few slaves stagger around under stacks of books in the process of term papers. Some hover over physics problems, others over a French or Latin assignment. There is much ado about studying, but it is soon over. The closing bell seldom finds a half dozen sleepy students still at work. The eternal bridge table. Mr. Snyder speculates.

Panorama of a eek-end SATURDAYS and Sundays at Wake Forest are as different from Wednesdays and Thursdays as day is from night. On the majority of the week-ends that fall between September and June the student population migrates to Raleigh, home and to other distant points. or else amuses itself very quietly. The campus looks pretty much deserted most of the time, the dormitories get quiet and down town is left to the farmers. But on the week-ends when things do happen here, they really happen! Four big dance week-ends this year brought name bands and a superfluity of pretty girls to the campus. Pledge dances in the fall meant dancing to Clyde Wade s music and put the new frat men in their glory. Mid-Winters in February, the climax of fraternity social life, meant Jimmy Fullers orchestra. jitterbugs in swishing taffeta skirts and parties at the house after midnight. Then in April there was one last week-end of big Pan-Hell dances before exams and commencement. The pictures on these pages represent all the big Wake Forest week-ends rolled into one. And in main ways they represent all the little week-ends too, when a rest from classes, later signing-in hours at Bostwick and freedom to sleep late were enjoyed by all.

There we danced to the piccalo, played ping-pong and bridge and Chinese checkers. The Recreation Room was always open on week-ends for dates or lone-eagle recreation seekers. Going to church with a date and listening to the music in the p.m. were often a part of a successful week-end. Some times Sunday after- noons brought an Open House where students and faculty members met for a cup of coffee and a friendly chat. Al- ways the week-end ended before it seemed to have well begun.
