I Professor William Raymond Bourne and Professor John Leonard Salmon whose untiring aid and valuable suggestions have made possible the edition of the 1945 Bohemian, we sincerely and gratefully dedicate this volume. 9 12 13 SX offord Past, Present and Future I began my service as President of Wofford in August, 1942, The College opened with an enroll- ment of 404 students, but by the close of the academic year, 360 of these Wofford men had en- tered some branch of the armed forces. In February, 1943, our student body moved to Converse and Spartanburg Junior Colleges in order that we might devote our entire facilities to the training of a contingent of the Army Air Corps. July, 1944, witnessed the reconversion of Wofford to its normal function as a college — the education of civilian youth. We are proud of the service that Wofford men are giving to their country. Fourteen hundred of them are fighting for freedom in every part of the globe at this time. On May 1, 1945, fifty-two have given their lives to help preserve those things we value above life itself. These we honor and hold in reverent memory. We pray that victory may crown our cause and that this broken, bleeding world may at last know the blessings that come from inter- national understanding, good will, and peace. Walter K. Greene Dr. Walter Kirkland Greene is calmly and capably leading Wofford through what is perhaps the most critical period in her long history. Having come to us from Duke University, where for sixteen years he was Dean of Undergraduate Instruction, Dr. Greene j is our first alumnus president. During the two years in which he has served as President, Dr. Greene has shown a deep insight into | the future needs of Wofford and a profound sympathy il and understanding of students ' problems. DR. SNyOER For the first year since his coming to Wof- ford, Dr. Snyder is not teaching in the class- room. Instead he is at his home on the campus, reading and lecturing. His command of the English language and his keen wit have distinguished him as a speaker. DR. NORTON During his nineteen years as member of the Wofford faculty, Dean C. C. Norton has become well-known in the state as a talented speaker. His understanding of students ' problems and sense of justice combine to make him a natural choice for the position of Dean. Dr. Norton continues at his post of professor of political science and sociology. MR. DAVIS Mr. Davis, an alumnus of Wofford, has been treasurer here for twenty-five years, having returned in 1920 to his Alma Mater. He was the first to serve in the official capacity as Treasurer of Wofford College. Mr. Davis formerly taught in the Fitting School.

THE PUBLICATIONS BOARD The Publications Board has served the Wofford publications many years. Its members, four faculty members and four students, guide and direct the printed part of Wofford ' s extra- curricular life. In their hands lies the responsibility for the proper financial control of the Bohemian, the Old Gold and Black, and the journal. True, the editor does the editing and the business manager does the managing, but behind them and always vigilant stands the Publications Board, ready, willing, and able to assist. The faculty members are Professor J. L. Salmon, Chairman; Professor W. R. Bourne, Dr. A. M. DuPre, and Dr. C. F. Nesbitt. The student members are W. P. Cavin, R. H. Pace, W. A. Home, and D. O. Jones, not in picture. 20 m en or Student Body Officers and Student Council The student body elects each year the Student Body Officers and a Student Council to give consideration to all issues of merit arising by chance or purpose among the students. The duties of the officers and the Council demand real leadership and character. The practical work of the officers is to hold student body meetings and to discuss any ques- tion that might arise. The Council is then authorized to take formal action on issues com- ing before it. The Student Body Officers are: J. W. Hamby, President; J. B. Stone, Vice-President; W. B. Kennedy, Secretary; and J. W. Ellis, Treasurer. The members of the Student Council are: J. W. Hamby, Chairman; W. S. Ariail, J. H. Cely, B. E. Locklair, Jr., W. P. Cavin, E. L. David- son, C. E. Jones, W. B. Kennedy, and W. A.

MISS MARTHA DUCKWORTH Sponsor for the Senior Class 22 Three Wofford seniors ' names will be included in the 1945 edition of Who ' s Who Among Sttudents in American Universities and Colleges, which comes off the press in the spring. This year the students were selected by student vote rather than by faculty selection as in former years. The purpose of Who ' s Who is to serve as an incentive for students to get the most out of their college careers; as a means of compensation to students for what they have already done; as a recommendation to the business world; and as a standard of measure- ment for students comparable to such agencies as Phi Beta Kappa and the Rhodes Scholarship Award.

Cely Cadet First Sergeant 47 R. O. T. C The importance of our Officers ' Reserve Corps has been recognized by our statesmen and soldiers from Colonial days. Successful leaders, in peace and in war, are usually men of broad mind and well balanced education. The country looks to its educational institu- tions to furnish such men. As early as 1783 military training was recommended in our colleges, but not until World War I was the value of the college trained officer demon- strated. The enlarged and improved Reserve Officers ' Training Corps was finally author- ized by the National Defense Act of 1920. The Reserve Officers ' Training Corps is a school of citizenship. It enriches our edu- cational courses by affording a training of great value as a preparation for the callings of civil life. It lays a foundation for good citizenship by inculcating habits of precision and orderliness, discipline, self-control and resourcefulness; and by promoting good physique, correct deportment, patriotism, and respect for constituted authority. Wofford College has from the very first appreciated the value and importance of its Senior Unit of the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps, and has always been in sympathy with the Corps ' mission to develop and train college students for positions of leadership in the Army of the United States. The wisdom of its attitude is being proved by cur- rent events. We all may well be proud of our part in the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps and proud of the achievements of our representatives now in service throughout the world.

The Old Gold and Black is the voice of the student body, keeping the students well informed about campus life, carrying complaints and praises from the students to the leaders, and acting as the mouthpiece of the students. The Journal is the literary magazine. In this war year, only one issue out of the normal five could be assembled and paid for. It came out early in May.

In addition to sending representatives to student rehgious con- ferences the S. C. A. sponsors a choir, deputations to other col- leges, prayer groups in the dormitory. Religious Emphasis Week, and other enterprises. It is the soul of the student body, the outlet for the student ' s desire to worship God and serve his fel- lowman.

Although the student body is comparatively small this year, there is a goodly number of min- isterial students . . . the church leaders of tomorrow. The Union helps to promote religious activities on the campus and stands ready to fill in for ministers taking a day off.

War leaves no choice, so Woflford has no football team this season. Our tackles may be dying in Europe; perhaps our halfbacks are on bombing missions over Germany. Indeed, the best end Wofford has produced within the past twenty years is reported missing in action in France. Though other sports were suspended this year, the un- daunted spirit of Wofford athletics was represented by the basketball team. The Terriers began the basketball season with a woefully green team. Under Coach Ted Petoskey, however, the team developed into a hard-fighting bunch of basketeers who flashed great form at times. Hambrick, Cothran, Wright, Taylor, and Gilstrap — all freshmen — were mainstays of the Terriers on the hardwood, promising good things ahead for Wofford basketball. 60 BASKETBALL BASKETBALL RESULTS FOR 1945 Wofford 29 Woft ' ord 37 Wofford 3 2 Wofford 3 2 Wofford 21 Wofford 3 7 Wofford 43 Wofford 53 Wofford 31 Wofford 3 6 Wofford 20 Wofford 27 Wofford 56 Davidson 41 High Point 34 Catawba 57 Newberry 23 Clemson . 32 Catawba 54 University of South CaroHna 66 Davidson 40 Furman 49 Clemson 68 University of South CaroUna 68 High Point 31 Furman 40 61 BASEBALL Prospects of a winning team on the diamond this year were far from unreal as Wofford began the 1945 baseball season. The pitching chores seemed to rest on the able but inexperienced shoulders of Howard Harvey, righthander, and Arthur Taylor, a port- sider. The first two games indicated that the nine was capable of walloping the horse- hide, with Ariail and Davidson, outfielders, looming as sluggers. The task of Coach Petoskey is to develop in his ball players their batting and pitching possibilities, a finesse in fielding, and some knowledge of inside baseball. Though not overnight, this should come with experience, as the outfielders, the infielders, and the batterymen profit from the coaching of the veteran Petoskey, who managed the Birmingham club of the Southern Association last summer. So, on the diamond, look for a strong finish from the Terrier, who is afraid of nothing. As the season began, the regular line-up that took shape consisted of: Harvey or Taylor, pitcher (the one not selected for mound duty playing center field); McTeer, catcher; Cothran, first baseman; Nanney, second baseman; Haynes or G. Stone, short- stop; Wright, third baseman; Ariail, right fielder; Davidson, left fielder. Also on the squad were Chastain, Pearcy, Griffith, Crosby, and White.

With the greatly re- duced student body at Wofford this year the publication of a yearbook seemed to be almost an impossible task. But with the hearty cooperation of the entire student body and the willing efforts of the members of the staffs we have been able to publish this year ' s Bohemian. Although our publication is somewhat smaller than the Bohemians of previous years, we have attempted to compensate the smallness by originality. Our deepest gratitude is expressed to Professor W. R. Bourne, the faculty adviser, who has made up for our inexperience with his helpful ideas and suggestions. With unwavering faith he has stood behind us to give encouragement when things looked the darkest and we began to fear. Also to Professor J. L. Salmon and Dr. J. A. Chiles thanks are ex- tended for their suggestions and contributions. Then, due credit must be given to Johnny Long of Foote Davies Printing Co., whose technical advice gives us the book as it now stands. To Bill Bradley of Bradley McCord Engraving Co., for his special effort in producing good engravings for us. To Charlie Gerrell for the photo- graphic work. To all these and other contributors who have given this book whatever degree of success it may achieve. The Bohemian office is now closed. The staccato notes of the type- writer is no longer heard. The 1945 Bohemian is finished. We have worked hard but it has been much fun. B. E. LocKLAiR, Jr. E. L.
