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.
