Prof. Ravnor discussing a problem with students Frank Safritt and Riley Cox. Kenneth Tyson Raynor has been known and admired by Wake Forest students of mathematics since he first returned to his Alma Mater. From 1926. when he became instructor in Mathe- matics, even those who have met him only casually have been marked by contact with his sparkling wit and keen intelligence. During the time when he was an undergraduate here and through all of the years following his return as an instructor. Professor Raynor has been an ardent supporter of the College athletic teams. He has lightened many of his lectures with anecdotes about his controversies in the stands with members of the faculties of other colleges. Among our own faculty and students Professor Kenneth T. Raynor long will be known and loved. He has never sung his own praises but has modestly served this college with the best of his excellent ability. In recognition of his selfless service and con- tributions to Wake Forest, we dedicate to him this, the forty-fifth issue of The Howler. VVVN 70769

FOREWORD When Wake Forest was founded, a North Carolina newspaper exclaimed: They have kindled a light! Through the years, that light has been nourished and watched with infinite care by the men who have taught here and studied here; a few times it has flickered, but it has never gone out. Slowly, for more than a century, its flood light has pushed the shadows of ignorance back and yet farther back from the regions held captive, until now more students seek that light each year than the campus can admit. Growth has characterized Wake Forest since it began in a village farmhouse somewhere in the Forest of Wake, in 1834. It has drawn many keen and liberal minds to its faculty — bloodless warriors, Gerald Johnson has called them, who fought valiant battles and won mighty victories. The College has drawn men from the city and from the country, men with sharp, inquisitive minds, many of them; they came here as students and learned much; they graduated and served their generations well: doctors, ministers, teachers, journalists, lawyers, merchants, farmers. Wake Forest, even in its early- growth, saw achievement — its own stimulating and progressive effect upon life in the land. So the 1947 Howler takes as its theme both Growth and Achievement. We have seen Wake Forest grow; we see it growing; but glimpses of far greater ac- complishment, academically and spiritually, greet our hopeful view as we look to the future. Out of the chrysalis of our former school even now we can see emerging a greater form, different, yet much the same. Wake Forest is built on the solid foundation of the liberal spirit; with its motto for humanity, it is a spirit which will not tread lightly but will stalk fearlessly to bring illumination to minds and lives where indif- ference and prejudice and ignorance have reigned. Though the rock wall and magnolia trees we know so well will in a few years be exchanged for new gardens and vistas, and the view of the sun sinking behind the golf course for the view of sunset behind the mountains, Wake Forest will really remain the same. As the pages of this Howler turn, you will find what we have been in the year 1947, and much of what we nail be.
