partially hiding a bald head, his grim expression and oversized nose are all definite parts in the kaleido- scopic patterns of his character and personality. He can put you into convulsions with his scintillating wit or he can lead you in quiet meditation. TJ E ' S the little guy who made you feel at home among the magnolias scattered over the beautiful campus; he introduced you to professors whom you learned to love and classmates through whom you gained a new- sense of brotherhood and understanding; he showed you the ivy-covered memorial to Dr. Tom on the north side of the stone wall surrounding the campus. While he revealed to you all the sacred traditions that the college cherishes, he took special care to cultivate in you a spirit of friendliness toward your fellow man and an attitude of reverence toward God. Through him you acquired the spirit of tolerance that permeates the fibers of everything that the Deacon touches. The life around you suddenly became free and unrestrained, your soul released from previous suppressions. Almost unconsciously you found yourselves learning each other ' s name and greeting one another with a cheery Hi! as you strolled along the winding campus paths. A TOST people at Wake Forest College tend to take the Deacon for granted. The little guy becomes such a part of them that it is very easy to let him pass by unnoticed. But since he is not the sort of fellow who wants to shout his own praises from the housetops, he is quite content in doing his many jobs quietly and efficiently. In so doing, he makes his contributions all the greater. He has been in Wake Forest longer than any other person. He was here back in 1834 when the college was founded, he has helped lay the cornerstones of all the buildings, he has attended all the classes, and heard all the stories that have become legends. For one hundred and fourteen years he lias been at once professor, student, and caretaker of a small but powerful Baptist institution. LL these facets of the Deacon ' s personality will be- come evident to you as you look through this book. You will find yourselves reliving with him the big events of the year — yelling your lungs out as you watch his proteges trample the formidable University of North Carolina Tar Heels once on the gridiron and again on the basketball court, attending the Pan-Hellenic dances during the year, registering with the largest group ever to crowd into the college, sledding on the golf course during one of the biggest snows in Wake Forest ' s history, and going to panel discussions during Religious Focus Week. You will find the Deacon participating in student activities, teaching and attending classes, being rewarded for outstanding services (and perhaps be- coming just a little puffed up), taking part in athletics, presenting the tops in Wake Forest ' s faminine pulchri- tude, enjoying himself in the various aspects of campus life, and finally letting go with a great big laugh as he spends a vacation at the exclusive SHAW ' S I XX With Ten Big Stories. TX order to show you how the Demon Deacon did all this in one year we take pleasure in presenting to you this, The 1948 Howler. And once again, who is this guy, the Deacon? He is the living spirit of Wake Forest College that has enabled it to serve effectively for one hundred and fourteen years in accordance with its motto— PRO HUMANITATE.
