HE STORY of a year at Wake Forest is always a vivid one to those who have lived it and enlivened it. To some it is a dramatic tale to be often and glow- ingly retold; to others, a laughable yarn, a series of cherished anecdotes. There are few who remem- ber it with bitterness; more, perhaps, who laugh evasively at its mention. But without exception it is a story remembered, clinging to our memories like an unforgotten face. This year ' s narrative is perhaps less character- ized by drama than realism, but we will respond no less to its telling in the chapters ahead, for we all lived it, laughed it — and we remember it. That we may reminisce more eloquently — SUMMER ' S WARM NARRATIVE Long before that bustling September week when transportation terminals bulged with campus - bound collegians, our tale began its unfolding under the heat of a summer sun, and found expression in the intense warmth of a lecture room, during the long afternoon hours of a physics lab. in the prolonged bridge sessions of the dorms. Summer school is more than a mere appendage to the fall and spring terms; it is the vital com- mencement of a new year of college life. Those about whom the story is first concerned are the determined veterans who are making up for time lost and the transfer co-eds who attend classes between swimming pool dates, the pre-meds strug- gling to complete requirements before the fall finds them at med school and the part-time stu- dents who are working their way through. They are the Wake Foresters to whom the last of May does not mean the end of classes and the begin- ning of house parties at the beach. It is with these, then, that we open our narrative — From Maine to New Mexico and Florida to Washington, trailers, huts, and discharged Army barracks invaded the campuses of the nation ' s colleges and universities and formed themselves into compact little communities — G. I. Towns, they were called. Living in these trailers and huts were veterans who had turned from the busi- ness of war to the profession of a higher education. Some lived with their families — and there was a mixture of Tennyson and diapers, the Missouri Compro- mise and clothes pins, logarithms and the aroma of broiled chops, test tubes and cold cream. Some lived as bachelors, sharing ex- penses jointly — and Paradise
