Foreword The first thing you probably noticed about this book was its thinness as compared to last year ' s edition. The thinness, which explains several other things, can be explained as a matter of cost. Wake Forest students for the past several years have been getting books whose costs have chopped into funds meant for other things. They have been getting books which compared to those of much larger schools, whose yearbook budgets ran around forty thousand dollars. This year ' s book is the first in several student generations to come reasonably close to its budget. Most things in the book were cut because of the cost involved, although some things were cut and others left uncut for certain specific reasons. One of the reasons there is no dedi- cation is that we consider dedicating books an anachronistic practice. On the other hand, we wanted very much to run pictures of all the faculty members, and tried as hard as we could to do so until production problems forced us to substitute a couple of views for faculty portraits. When the 1950 Howler was started during the summer of 1949 it was planned to give as complete coverage as possible for the entire school year, and distribute the book in Sep- tember. The distribution date was changed twice — first moved up to July and then back to September. But coverage was our real goal and our greatest problem. We tried hard to tell a complete story of the year from the con- temporary viewpoint, and to bring in enough things to enable every reader to see what 1950 at Wake Forest looked like to him then, and therefore enable him in retrospect to both judge and reminisce. Staying within the budget was hard enough, but getting the coverage we wanted proved impossible, even on foreseeable events. All in all we think we have given a pretty fair sampling of what happened during the ' 49- ' 50 school year at Wake Forest, especially through our features section and the story of the year. We don ' t expect you to read it now, but we think you ' ll enjoy it and find it valuable a few vears from now.
