OLIN TRIVETTE BINKLEY AND DR. JOHN ALLEN EASLEY Dr. Olin Trivette Binkley and Dr. J. Allen Easier, Professors of Religion, symbolize an ideal that runs like a golden thread through all the history of Wake Forest College — the ideal of intelligent Christian leadership. The College owes its existence to a religious impulse and to the desire of a great and growing people, the Baptists of North Carolina, to foster education under religious influences and to provide an educated ministry. Throughout its one hundred and ten years the College has ever been alert to the problems of a changing world, has expanded its program as conditions required or as opportunities occurred, and has attained a distinguished place as a leader in liberal education, all in keeping with its motto, Pro hnmunitutc. But the original pur- pose remains unchanged, and the original ideal prevails and will prevail through the coming years. Dr. Binkley and Dr. Easley came to the College six years ago, men of mature scholarship, rich experience, and widely recognized leadership. Dr. Binkley received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Wake Forest College, the degree of Bachelor of Theology from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, the degree of Bachelor of Divinity from Yale Divinity School, and the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Yale University. For five years he served as pastor of the Chapel Hill Baptist Church, and during a part of this time was instructor in Sociology in the University of North Carolina. Dr. Easley received the Bachelor of Arts degree from Furman University, the degree of Master of Theology from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and the honorary degree Doctor of Divinity from Furman University. He pursued graduate studies in Harvard University and in Columbia University, served as chaplain in the United States Army, as pastor in Glasgow, Kentucky, and for ten years as pastor of the Wake Forest Baptist Church and as chaplain of the College. Temptations to work in what seemed to be enviable positions in larger fields have been declined, and the work of building and expanding the department, of making religion vital in the life of the College, of reaching the larger fields through young men and young women trained here, has been accepted as the greater mission. With profound respect for their scholarly attainments, with sincere appreciation for their guidance and stimulation as master teachers, we affectionately dedicate this issue of The Howler to Dr. Olin Trivette Binkley and to Dr. J. Allen Easley, and through them to the ideal of yes- terday, today and tomorrow — intelligent Christian leadership. 1 ! K e? - ii IN MEMORIAM June 1948-May 1944 Thaddeus M.

Wait Hall closing its eyes and sleeping. 10 i THE BUILDINGS AND ADMINISTRATION Central in the array of college buildings and looking down upon scores of dark magnolias, the tower of Wait Hall keeps watch over successive generations of students. From this tower, and from the administrative offices on the floors below, the routine of all our college days — orderly and precise, in apparent informality — is timed and regulated, all the way from the imperious summons of freshman days when one hurries sleepily to class in a gray winter dawn to the last stroke of the hell signaling the end of the last class of our college careers. You enter Wait Hall this morning from the sunny side, and find yourself in the midst of the hum of noiseless typewriters flowing from beyond four doors that always stand open while the day ' s work is in progress. You cannot see the word President on the opened door to the left, but you know where to find him. Mrs. Pritchard, secretary, quiet, orderly, efficient, sits at her desk. Yes, the President is in, and the door to the inner office is open. He is glad to see you — sit down. The President is a builder, as you know — always working quietly, with no fanfare, seeming to have infinite leisure but never idle. Through the fourteen years of his administration the college has grown steadily and soundly, in spite of disastrous fires, depression and war, with new and greater buildings taking the places of the old or rising in new places, and with enrollment growing to the record capacity of 1,100. Now. when many colleges are surrendering temporarily or closing permanently, his enlargement program is progressing steadily, looking to a yet greater Wake Forest of adequate equipment and 2,500 students. The President is a dreamer, hut a dreamer of practical dreams that become realities. He may not be able to solve your problem for you, but he will give you sound advice, for which all other problems on his desk can wait. Feeling much better, and with thanks, you cross the hall, passing through a door inscribed Bursar — perhaps to pay your last fee, for your diploma, though not your final debt to the College. As you prop your elbow on the counter, a member of the efficient staff rises from a desk and meets you. with unfailing courtesy and good cheer. Yes, Mr. Earnshaw is in — you can see him at his desk in the small private office, figuring as usual. Looking many years younger than his thirty- eight years of service to the college would sug- gest, he is as much a part of the Wake Forest traditions as the magnolias, as unperturbed as the oaks, a symbol of quiet efficiency and sound judgment. Yes, he tells you, your diploma lias already been ordered. You pay your seven dollars happily and go your way, realizing that you will not come this way again. As you enter the hall again you pause, wonder- ing. Perhaps you are one of those who are trying to meet an inevitable deadline. What if you are- unable to get a further extension when your number comes up again next week? Long ago vou learned that the Dean is a wise and sym- pathetic counselor, knowing all the answers or knowing how you can find the answers. Crossing the hall, you barge through the outer office, not stopping to ask the indispensable secretary. Miss Godfrey, if you may enter — knowing from previous experience that you may. and welcome. The Dean knows how to be stern with those who need sternness, but he is more at ease when talking as a father or an elder brother with those who need guidance. You are at ease from the first Dr. Thurman D. Kitchin, President moment, and soon you arc reassured: if you are called into the service you will get full credit for the courses which you arc taking and will receive your diploma. You would like to sit and talk longer, but you see that some our else is standing in the outer door waiting, and besides there goes that bell again, calling you to your next class. Down tlie hall and to the right you enter one of the two doors labeled Registrar — just to make sure that you are going to get the diploma for which you have paid in toil and rash. A little Ki.i.iott B. Eari Bursar door is opened for you into the enclosure of the stair, and you are conducted into the private of- fice, where the Registrar receives you genially. While be is pulling out a photostatic ropy of your four years ' record, you wonder that one could have managed this office with its endless stream of records for eighteen years and still appear so youthful. But then you reflect that it is worry and not work that ages, and here is one whose highly efficient system of keeping the records and maintaining the standards may worry others at tunes hut never himself. Yes. your record is all clear thus far— a good record, and you will gel through if everything comes out all right this term. Daniel li. Bryan Bean of Liberal Arts Grady S.

Here you relax, soothed by the music and by the voice of someone reading. Soon you arc listening, for the words of the speaker were chosen for you alone, or for others like you. Somehow the crisis lias drawn all of the College more closely together, you reflect, and given a new significance to assemblies like this. There and here we meet for family prayers, missing the members of the circle who arc absent, and reflecting, wondering, hoping, praying. The last organ note fades away, and suddenly you remember that there was a question about your physical education credit. You rush over to Gore Gymnasium to sec Coach Phil. All clear! And now — it is time for lunch. THE BAPTIST CHURCH SIMMON ' S DORMITORY WOMEN ' S ADMINISTRATION Lois Johnson Dean of Women Do you have a problem to be solved in an unknown tongue? Any question about modern foreign languages? Sue Dean Lois Johnson. The men of the department have ail gone to war and will not come back until it ' s over over there. Are you planning a social evening at the Community Center or elsewhere? See Dean Johnson. Are you down on your courses? Been playing about too much when you should have been working? If you are a co-ed, see Dean Johnson right away before she sees you. Homesick? Lost your best friend? Lost your purse or lipstick? See Dean Johnson.

In a word, you are a queer one — or you don ' t exist. Ours has always been known as the friendly campus, where no one. student or faculty member, passes another with- out a greeting; where democracy is real and genuine, and where snobbery is the unpardonable campus sin. The ties of comradeship and sympathy have been especially closely drawn during recent weeks and months, as observed and re- marked by students in uniform who have come back for a final look about the campus before leaving for foreign shores.

The professorial seriousness vanishes and Joe is given a hearty greeting. The conversation around the big seminar table, where Joe once had a seat with the group study- ing the modern novel, turns into one of the familiar bull sessions, chiefly about Wake Forest men in various parts of the world and about the good old days before the summons to war. and about Joe ' s plans for the future — a future that seems rather hazy and uncertain. Joe learns that Hagood is a captain in the service; that all classes are running as usual, though smaller, and that nearly all students are trying to learn to speak and write English, not knowing but that they may have use for it in some foreign country. You sit for a while and smoke with the four men with pipes in their mouths: .Jones, Folk, Griffin, and Brown, while Aycock listens to the talk and adds his remarks as he ruffles through some pictures for his art class. Reluctantly Joe gets up to leave, hut his time is short and he must keep moving. He hesitates at the door of the Modern Language department as he sees three ladies seated at a table — Dean Johnson and Instructors Dowtin and Wyatt. You should have warned him, for there were only men in the department when he took his courses in lan- guage. But the men are all in the service, as he now learns, and the three co-ed faculty members carry on. You learn that Dr. (of Ft.) H. D.

Joe thinks he is headed for the Mediterranean area and, like some other students he is told about, intends to look with keen interest at many of the places and ruins familiar to these classical scholars. ■ S( )CIAL SCIENCE, MUSIC, Investigation of Idealism, only to go out and have his own idealism put to the severest test. Keeping PHILOSOPHY, RELIGION your eye on ,„,, watch, ,o„ soon drag Joe away and down the hall to the Music office. Seeing the photographer coming through the old-fashioned little double d -s that always manage to bump your elbows at the foot of the stairs in the Library building, you and Joe make a dash for the Social Science headquarters on the second floor. You are just in time, for they are all there, even Dr. Rea, and all rather dazed ex- i affectionately known K V  B B ' Skinny, whose shoulders are wiggling as he finds relief from the tension in his characteristic semi- silent laughter. You head for the .Music and Hi. ' Philosophy headquarters. Through the ope,, door of the Philosophy Seminar you see the hack of an erect man some one gazing philosophically through the third floor window at a silvery cloud in the Professors West, Pearson, Hunts and Uea, of the social Tr T ■ science department, pose for their pictures in the department east.

Next, you take a peep into the Library, see the members of the staff busy at the desk, hut do not enter, because Joe is not ready to throw away his cigar. You enter the headquarters of Mr. C. J. Jackson, director of the Enlargement Program, after taking a look at the pictures, displayed in the rotunda of Wait Hall, of the many imposing buildings yet to he realized. At his desk you find also Mr. Herbert V. Baucom, Alumni Secretary. These men are new to Joe, hut lie comes away feel- ing that Mr. Jackson will complete the big job that he has undertaken in helping to create the greater Wake Forest, and impressed with Mr. Baucom ' s paternal as well as fraternal interest in him as a Wake Forest alumnus. Finally, in your criss-crossing of the campus, you and Joe and the stub of a cigar enter the Johnson Building, to greet Dr. Bradbury and Dr. Cocke of the Biology department, and Dr. Speas and Dr. Parker of the Physics department. h hb WILLIAM AMOS JOHNSON ' I ' RK-MKDICAI.

Some have even had former roommates as their instructors. And in each of I hem there is always the thought - -how I wish I were once again in Wake Forest. There has been no lack of publicity about our men in the service. Hardly a day goes by that we don ' t read of an alumnus who has been decorated for meritorious service, or who has just successfully passed his entrance exam and has now been accepted . . . , who has recently been commissioned as a second lieutenant. And then unexpectedly our eyes fall on the Casualty List or the Missing List, and the staggering reality of the horrible war we are fighting comes rushing hack to us. As the months go by Wake Forest will continue to decrease in enrollment as more and more don the Army khaki, or the Navy blue, or the forest green of the Marines. But our College will not begrudge her losses for she knows that her sons will return some dav, each of them a hero. And when that day conies there will he no more strife or war; instead, there will he the serenity and peace and gaiety for which Wake Forest has always been known. Yes, we are proud of the courage of our men in the service. And we are proud of their spirit, and their patriotism, and their noble ideals. And we shall pledge ourselves to keep up the fight on the home front until that glorious day when we shall once more breathe the breath of freedom and see our hoys conic marching home. There have been many visitors among our men in uniform on the campus this year. And how glad we have been to see them! Though their former campus has changed greatly since they were here as students they still say that the soul of Wake Forest is the same. And we who are here know this to he true and that it will continue to he true throughout the years to come. For this very soul, this friendly atmosphere, this valiant spirit is the embodiment of Wake Forest. It will never die — for it is one of the many things we are fighting for. a, plots navigation charts [MEN ' S DORMITORIES (3 mitt) WAKE UP I Looking soon ! — when to take up studies, and when r educational opport fered here.

With an enrollment of 450 instead of the usual thousand, with classmates leaving for the army every day, with the Army Finance School on the campus, things had to be different. Graduation was held at the end of eaeh quarter, not the kind of gradaution with caps and gowns, hut a small group of seniors gathered in the President ' s office, and Dr. Kitchin, saying. This diploma will mean more to you in the years to come. And the students thinking how much it meant to them then. Yes. a lot of things were different. Hut the things that really counted remained the same. We still studied or read in the Library. Everybody still said hello to everybody on the campus. The hell still rang between classes in the same way. We stood in line at .Miss Jo ' s. The magnolias bloomed and the grass was green. Romance flourished with the coining of spring. There were as many kibitzers as ever at bridge games in the book store. On warm days the tennis courts and the golf course were crowded. Dames excited attention as before. One day followed another, fitting into the scheme of college life. Mornings were spent in classes. Afternoons not occupied with labs were filled with movies, bridge games, or outdoor sports. At night we studied, attending meetings or just talked. Week-ends, the highlight of the week, we went home or stayed on the campus for dances or informal parties. The round of college activity proceeded in the same old way. Hut still, a new spirit invaded campus lite, a spirit of preparation. Though the college was different, the college was still the same. New seriousness of purpose, new appreciation for Wake Forest and what il stands for— it was this that made the student of ' 43-44 different from the student of a few- years ago. It is this which will make Wake Forest remain the same Wake Forest when peace comes again. STUDYING anquislied the Wolf Pack at tl Days slid into wicks, weeks were soon months, unci almost before the students knew it the session of 194JJ-44 was over. A peaceful year? Perhaps. But a year crammed with activity. Classes, study, meetings, bridge games, dates, dances, bull sessions. A postoffice box and a letter from home. A coke between classes at Snyder ' s. An all night bull session at the house. Shorty ' s at midnight. Cramming for exams. Sleeping through an early class. Lying with a book in the shade of a magnolia. A drink of water from the old well. hymn otball. Little ake up ftly at twilight. A game of tag- things: the st Perhap irv behini s. Hut the 1 the story little things of the year. Dr. Speas expounds on the workings of electricity. In telling the story of the year at Wake Forest it is difficult tii pick out the things of most sig- nificance. All that occurred, even the little things, or, perhaps, especially the little tilings, were of vital importance in building up the picture of life as it was in the college this year. But, month by month, here are the things that may be rated most vivid memories of 1943-44. September . . . the trees of the campus were acquiring cloaks of yellow and red when the school year of lll+IS-ii opened at the end of the month. But the freshmen, true to tradition, remained as green as ever. After wading through registration with all its intricacies, the students settled down to college routine. Elections were held to fill vacancies left by men who were then in uniform. Freshmen wer e initiated to the mysteries of college life and found this life to their liking. They were rushed by fraternities; they were invited to literary society smokers; they were given a party by faculty advisers; they were asked to join numerous organizations. But they were made to see their places by haughty upperclassmen. October . . . the football season rolled around, and the team bad supporters as enthusiastic as ever. The students couldn ' t see as many games, for the only game held near at hand was the one with State College. Fraternities ended the rush- ing season by pledging !) men. Rushing was climaxed by the pledge dance. Hopeful generals- to-be took ASTP tests. Another Wake Forest man was elected state president of the B.S.U. November . . .

Stansbury Dean of the Laic School On June 1, 1943 the Wake Forest School of Law began its wartime joint program with the Duke Law School. Under the new arrangement, each school retains its separate identity in all respects except that students meet in joint classes held at Duke. The Wake Forest students register as such in Mr. Patterson ' s office. Their credits are entered and their degrees awarded by Wake Forest just as if the school were still conducted here. Duke and Wake Forest law students are in- structed by the combined faculties of the two schools. Dr. Dale F. Stansbury, dean of the Wake Forest School of law, is the only Wake Forest faculty member teaching in the joint pro- gram at present. He maintains his office in Wake Forest and commutes to classes. This cooperation between the two schools is a temporary war-time measure, instituted for economy and in order to utilize better the available faculty members. Of the pre-war faculty of the Wake Forest Law School, Professor Timberlake continues to teach his course in Business Law to undergraduate stu- dents on the Wake Forest campus. Professor White retired in VM ' 2. Professors Baer and Lake are on leave of absence, in the government ' s legal service; they hold responsible positions with the Office of Price Administration in Raleigh. The present enrollment of seven students is about the same proportion of the normal enroll- ment as is found in the average law school in the United States.

I President Student Body OUTSTANDING SENIORS The Howleb poll to determine the outstanding seniors of the year is always interesting. This year was no exception. Every member of the class received at least one vote. In many cases the returns were close. But out of the maze of ballots ten seniors emerged. Almost every Held of campus activity was rep- resented. The seniors were prominent in athletics, religious activities, publications, literary society work, dramatics and student government. All of those selected kvi - listed in Who ' s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. Three were members of Omicron Delta Kappa; three made l ' hi Beta Kappa.

Everybody belongs to some organization or other. If you see a student pass a magnolia without look- ing at the signs he is not a Wake Forest man. There is always a possibility that his organization might have called another meeting. Extra-curricular activities at Wake Forest form a constructive outlet for excess energy. When alumni look hack on college days it is with memories of professors and classes. But it is also with memories of that number the glee club sang, the day that we heat Duke at football, a fraternity initiation. These outside activities give training as im- portant as that found in a classroom. Through athletics, formal or intramural, students learn to use idle muscles. Through the societies and the little theater they gain stage presence and learn public speaking. Through social fraternities they learn to get along with others and to he at ease at social functions. Through the glee club or orchestra they learn better appreciation of music. Through publications they learn to express thoughts on paper. Honorary fraternities serve as a spur to scholarship. Yes, extra-curricular activities form a vital part of a college education. Often students spend more time on them than on the conventional sub- jects. The woi-k is as hard, but activities are en- tertaining as well as helpful. That Wake Forest men and women are confirmed ' joiners ' is a fact to he applauded.

STUDENT COUNCIL The student council stands at the head of the student government organizations. The council lias the responsibility of maintaining close co- operation between the students and the faculty, between the students and college traditions. Each Wednesday night the council met to dis- pense with business and to try cases. The cases of dishonesty on examinations were few this year. Under the presidency of Roscoe Mason the council did a great deal toward upholding the honor system. Though the task of investigating and passing on violations of student regulations had decreased the Student Council found the need of extra effort to keep harmony in the college in a year of war and a diminishing student body. They supervised elections; they sponsored a war bond drive and made it successful on the campus. With freshmen entering every quarter the task of orientation took on new significance. The new comers were made to feel at home in a college at war. Acting as the college bureau of investigation, supreme judges, ambassadors of good will, ad- visers to the war-time freshmen and supervisers of campus drives, the council has proved itself an indispensible organization. Roscoe Mason President of the student body ) m fo k } h LEGISLATURE GIRLS COUNCIL The Student Legislature is the law-making body for Wake Forest College. It is composed of the presidents of the four classes, members at large from the classes, and the officers ami members of the Student Council. The president of the senior class is the presiding officer of the Student Legislature. Harrell Johnson has served this year. This group has made amendments to the Con- stitution in keeping with the changed life of the College. There has been little further for it to do. With decreasing activities, fewer students to be governed, and the Student Council assuming in- creasing authority, the Student Legislature con- tinues merely to exist. It is unknown to many students, hut maintains its original dignity. The Executive Council of the Girls Division of the student body has accomplished much in its short life. As the administrative head of the Stu- dent Government of the girls, the Council meets to discuss problems pertaining to the girls alone. The members of the Council are the President, ice President, Secretary-Treasurer, two repre- sentatives from the girls at large, and a repre- sentative who, with the President, is on the general Student Council. This Council has the responsibility of making and upholding the rules that are necessary. It supervises the social privileges and plans the future of the co-eds at Wake Forest. A new organiza- tion, the Council has not yet celebrated its second anniversary. Marina Hawkins. President; Eliza Jones. Betty Williams. Vir, Preniden (president second quarter); Leon. Peterson.

PHI BETA KAPPA Achievement in Scholarship The crowning achievement of a college student is election into Phi Beta Kappa, membership being based on scholarship and taking into consideration the cultural interests and character of those elected. For the first time in the history of Phi Beta Kappa at Wake Forest, girls were elected to the fraternity this year. Twelve students were initiated altogether. Of those, three were elected from the December graduation, and nine from the March and June graduations. Dr. Max L. Griffin was elected as an alumnus member, making a total of thirteen members initiated here .March JT. Dr. George R. Sherrill, ' 21, now head of the Politi- cal Science department of the University of South Carolina, also was elected an alumnus membe r. He- was unable to attend the cere nies here and was initiated by the U.S.C. chapter. Phi Beta Kappa was founded in 1776 at William and Mary College; it was established at Wake Forest College in January 1941. Only 146 schools in the country have Phi Beta Kappa chapters, the Wake Forest ' College Delta being one of the four in North Carolina. In this organization only faculty members are officers. Prof. Carlton P. West is president. Dr. H. B. Jones, vice president, and Dr. E. E. Folk is secretary and treasurer. The other faculty members are: Dr ' H. M. Potent, Dr. C. B. Karp, Dr. A. C. Held.

OMICRON DELTA KAPPA Recognition of Leadership The supreme award for a well-rounded college man at Wake Forest is membership in ODK. This is the national leadership honor society for men. founded in 1914 at Washington and Lee. The Beta Alpha Circle was established at Wake Forest in 1939. ODK seeks to recognize leadership in five phases of campus life: (1) scholarship, (2) athletics. (. ' !) social and religious affairs, (4) publications, (.5) speech, music and dramatic arts. Since membership is limited to three per cent of the student body, the Circle has been smaller this year than in past years. The program of the fraternity has been carried on as in years past with monthly meetings at which student and faculty members have discussed matters of campus- wide interest for the general benefit of the College. Many campus movements originate in these meet- ings, though the society does not sponsor movements. Officers for this year are: President. Stacy H. Kinlaw, Vice President, Earl Parker; Faculty Secretary-Treasurer, Max L. Griffin. Faculty members are: Dr. T. D. Kitchin, Dr. H. M. Poteat, Dr. D. F. Stansbury, Dr. I.. O. Rea, Dr. O. T. Binkley, Dr. E. E. Folk. Mr. E. B. Earnshaw, Prof. Thane McDonald. Dr. M. L. Griffin. Fleeted at a meeting in April were five other students not pictured here.

ALPHA PSI OMEGA The Playmakehs of the Campus On April 1, 1943, the Little Theater of Wake Fores! College was granted a chapter of Alpha Psi Omega. The Eta u cast from Meredith College under the direction of Miss Frances Bailey installed the Theta Omega cast of Wake Forest College. Membership is gained in Alpha Psi Omega on the point system, with points being given for act- ing or other work contributing toward a dramatic production. Sixty points are required for mem- bership, twenty more than are required for the I. it He Theater. Membership in Alpha Psi Omega is the highest dramatic achievement on the campus. At the present time co-eds constitute the majority of the membership, hut the beginnings were made by one of the founders of the Little Theater, Arthur Earley, now Corporal Karlcv. Lib Jones, Betty Williams, Charlotte Easley and Betty Black assume an air of seriousness as they prepare for the iniliati, f new members. GAMMA NU IOTA DoCTOHS OF THE rUTURE Members display thei eats, et cetera. Winn the pre-medics get together in a meeting, one may be assured of hearing about scientific matters. Members of Gamma Nu hear speakers and hold symposiums on medical topics. They discuss matters of mutual interest and endeavor to keep up with progress made in the field of medicine. This year they have purchased several books for the medical library. The classic event of the discussions came during hell week. A pledge was asked to give a talk on socialized medicine. He began talking about the social personality of a doctor, how he should take a cup of tea if offered one. and kiss the baby to please the mother. Qualification for membership is based upon character and scholarship. At least a C aver- aye on all courses is a requirement for admittance. This year a large number of members were taken in. There were a great many pre-medica] students on the campus, and they, like the rest of the student body, settled down to work with new seriousness of purpose. Grades below average meant the army, and it was the hope of all the science majors to join the ranks of the medical students at Bowman Gray.

GAMMA SIGMA EPSILON Chemists in the Making This year the Gamma Sigma Epsilon fraternity has sponsored a series of chemistry movies, and members of the fraternity have prepared papers mi topics involving chemistry. The purposes of this honorary chemistry fraternity are the recognition of exceptional ability and scholarship in chemistry, and the spread of interest in chemistry and like fields of science. Qualifications for local membership are a high B average on at least four chemistry courses taken either at Wake Forest or another institution of standing in chemistry. The local chapter. Alpha Gal i. prides itself on the fact that since its organization in 1927, no member ever failed in medical school, or in the attempt t ake reasonably good for himself after leaving college. The accelerated college program has curtailed the work of the fraternity somewhat, but, under the presidency of Jim Cook, the work of fostering interest o. the 1 science of chemistry had continued. Scholarly ministerial students study a map of Galile DELTA KAPPA ALPHA Future Religious Leaders Delta Kappa Alpha, an honorary fraternity, was organized in l!). ' i2 as a means of recognizing those students preparing for the ministry who had excelled in scholarship, Its purpose has been to promote the fellowship and spiritual life of the members and to elevate their ideals and scholar- ship, to create increased interest in — and an understanding of — their problems, and to give op- portunity for consideration of the questions con- fronting the ministry of today. Membership in the fraternity has been changed from the time when it was based on election, to the present system, under which all junior and senior ministerial students who have a H average arc eligible for membership. The usual activities include meetings twice a month for addresses, generally by visiting speak- ers, and for informal discussions. And in order that the feasting may not all he spiritual and in- tellectual, to the neglect of the physical, two ban- quets are held during the year, with appropriate programs and plenty of good fellowship. During the present year many of the usual activities have been curtailed. First row, left t„ right: Curl Harris. Calvin Knight, E. C. Wats,,,,. Yates Bing- ham. Second row: Douglas A Id rich.

SIGMA PI ALPHA Stttdknts of Modern Languages Students of modern languages who have a high scholastic average and unusual interest in lan- guages make up the fraternity, along with faculty members and teachers in the department of modern languages. The object of Sigma Pi Alpha this year has been a special study of France in an attempt to bring about a better understanding between that country and the United States by acquiring a more comprehensive picture of French geography, people, language, life, customs, culture, history and industry, also the place of foreign language in the present war and post-war planning. Programs and lectures were presented on the history and accomplishments of French musicians the fall quarter. The winter quarter outstanding French personalities were studied, and in the spring quarter modern French writings were emphasized. Meetings were held every two weeks, and though the number of modern language students were smaller, the organization was very active. ETA SIGMA PHI (iiiKKic and Rom an Scholarship This is the baby of the honorary fraternities on the campus. Members must have had at least two years of college work in Greek or Latin with a B average. The fraternity was organized to develop and promote interest in classical study among students of colleges and universities, and to promote closer fraternal relationship among students who are in- terested in classical study. Last year the local chapter sent out more than 70 letters to new students who were pre-med or pre-theological students, or who had studied the classics in high school or junior college. The resulting response swelled enrollment in Latin far above that of previous years, and the Greek department got a good percentage of the entering ministerial students. Each year the fraternity holds a social function at which the new members are present following their acceptance into the organization. New members are taken in after the second term grades the second year they study a classical language. Dr. Hubert I ' oteat and Dr. C. E. Earp, profes- sors of Latin and Greek, are honorary members and advisers to the fraternity. f u in nil ■ Leo Hawkins, Martha Ann Allen, Car] Ha Reece, Earl Parker, anil David Chapn First row, left to right: Nina Lide, Nancy Easley, Simmons Fentress, Emily Crandall, Cecil Driver, Margaret Carroll.

Composed of representatives from each soci al fraternity, the Council regulates matters concern- ing rushing, pledging, Hell-Week, scholarship, politics, and social gatherings. This year, despite the war, the Council has sponsored many social affairs, feeling that in this way the fellowship and good spirit, so long prevail- ing on the campus, could lie best maintained. There were only six social fraternities on the campus this year instead of the usual eight. The manpower shortage and finances caused two fra- ternities to close their houses for an unannounced time. The remaining fraternities, though forced to curtail their activities, have worked with the Council to retain a strong and vital nucleus, which be irv to their itions after Always active ill the various phases of campus ■ at Wake Forest the Council led the college or- nizations in contributions to the Fourth War an Drive. The Mid-Winter week-end. sponsored by the uncil, was the highlight of the fraternity social ■ this year. To the music of Shirley Smith ' s orchestra, many couples and service men on furlough, found the fraternities maintaining their social standards in the best manner possible. Outside of these activities many constructive plans were laid by the Council to better the standards of the fraternities. Roscoe Mason, S.P.E., presided over the meet- ings, with Dr. L.

At the beginning of the winter quarter the boys succeeded in securing a chapter room, and enough additional rooms to keep the chapter together adequately. They moved the entire chapter to the top floor of the Colonial Club, which is owned by the college, and did a thorough job of reorganiz- ing. Activity was fully resumed in the new residence. The chapter carried on many social activities aside from the joint festivities of the fraternity groups. The brothers had a supper at midnight following the spring formal dance, which was out- standing in its quaintness and its originality. Men wearing the pledge pin of Alpha Kappa Pi were .lames A.

THE MEMBERS and pledges of the Little Theater embarked on their third year of suc- cessful dramatic work last fall with the motto The show must go on! The campus was can- vassed for new talent, and soon an interested group of students, stimulated ! v previous suc- cesses, began work on their first production. Faced by handicaps, the cast and crews worked diligently. It wasn ' t easy, cither. The high school auditorium with its small stage and lack of facili- ties had to be used. Furniture was borrowed from various sources. It was practically impossible to buy electrical equipment, so that the electrician was forced to make the st of what he had. Costumes were made out of old clothes by a clever group of girls. And make-up techniques were studied. The first night arrived, and the auditorium  as filled with an expectant audience. Again the Little Theater scored another triumph to its long list of success. LITTLE THEATER .11 left: Lib .tones watches herself rehe before going on stage. Abovi Bitty Stmsbun president, All?? Le Harris and Charlotte Easley, student directors chat with Professor Aycock, faculty adviser Last September the Little Theater started out with l ' _ ' members and . ' S7 pledges. Even though many students have had to leave school the mem- bership increased to 1!) at the end of the second quarter, with only 12 pledges. Membership is based on the point system. To become a member a student must have at least 40 points. These points are given for every phase of dramatic work. The plays are selected by a committee of five, composed of the director, presi- dent, and three others. Meetings are held once every two weeks. After a business meeting there is usually a short pro- gram consisting of interesting talks, reviews of plays, original skits, and group discussions. Officers for the fall quarter were: President, PLEDGES, fimt Betty Stansbury; Vice President. Hetty William Secretary, Charlotte Easley; Treasurer. Hill Millan, Roscoe Mason. J. T.

It was given in July and was the second stage presentation of the play in the United States. The director was Charlotte Easley. The leading roles were played by Alice Lee Harris, as the now Mrs. de Winter, and Prof. Robert Browning, as Maxim de Winter. Stage managers were Leo Hawkins and Betty Black. AH! WILDERNESS The fall production, Ah! Wilderness, was pre- sented November 11 and 12 under tin- direction of Alice Lee Harris. The characters were portrayed as follows: Nat Miller by Woody Wall. Essie by Betty Williams. Arthur by Shelton Lewis, Richard by Jack White, Mildred by Nan Lacy Harris. Tommy by Stew Cash, Sid ' Davis by V.d ( ' .dun. Lilly ' Milley by Beth Perry, David McComber by Hooey Brantley, . Muriel by Lib Jones, Wint Selby by Will Byrd, I and oral, by Alice Holliday. The play, written by Eugene O ' Neill, is a tender and happy comedy. II fitted snugly into the tradition established by the Little Theater— that of selecting worthwhile plays. THE BAT Alice Lee Harris was reelected student director for the winter quarter. TheBat,by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood, was selected, and . ' main the work was begun. The stage manager, Wallace Parham, and 1 1 i -. crew had the difficult job of constructing two stage sets. The complicated lighting effects wire suc- cessfully worked out by the chief technic ian, Ton. Arrington. Business Manager J. T. Sasser, Jr., handled the selling of ads and tickets. Other committee heads were: Publicity. Nan Lacy Harris; .Make- up, Mrs. Sybil Jolly: Properties, Marianna Sherrill; and Prompter, Charlotte Easley. The cast of characters included the following: Emily Crandall as Lizzie, Elizabeth Jones as Mis Cornelia Van Gorder, Stacy Kinlaw as Billy the -lap, Shelton Lewis as Brooks, Betty Stansbury as Miss Dale Ogden, Clyde Dowdy as Doctor Wells, Clarence Bowen as Anderson, Jack White as Richard Fleming, Lewton Smith as Reginald Beresford and Woody Wall as the Unknown Man.

There are many elements that go into the mak- ing of a play.

Each person connected with the play has his role, and he must play it well if the play is t be a success. This page is intended t show the various phases of production that go into the performance.

The field of publications was invaded by co-eds. Girls served as editors and business managers. Girls were on the Publications Hoard. The inner sanctuaries of the offices were no longer .sacred to the masculine. But the lights burned late at night: as many cigarette stubs and papers littered the floor. The publications proceeded as usual. The Old Gold and Black and The Howler came out on schedule, though the Student was conspicuously absent. On Friday morning a copy of the paper was in each postoffice box. Before the end of school The Howler was off the press. Literary standards were maintained. tbovt : Martha Ann Allen ami Betty Stansbury listen to Dr. Folk ' s views about the makeup t Old Gold and Black.

Each Wednesday night was sure to see Lib Jones scurrying around to find some human in- terest items to till up the Campus Life column. Betty Stansbury would come in with a sheaf of letters from Men in the Service for her column, and Emily Crandall would sit around until an idea hit her for a poem, then begin pecking away at the typewriter. Old Gold had its quota of business managers this year. J. 1). Davis held the job until he was called into the Naval Air Corps in September, then Hooey Brantley took over. About the middle of the year Hooey decided that he liked the editorial end of the paper much better than the business end, and so Hevward Smith was elected business manager. Above: II. .1.

In the fall Mr. Jackson of the Enlargement Cam- paign and Mr. Baucom, alumni secretary, paid for fluorescent lights in the office. J. I). Davis made a file for the paper, the first it ever had. In March the annual Publications ' Banquet was held in the form of a Gridiron Banquet down at Colonial Club. Betty Stansbury as toast master proved that a gal can possess biting wit and a sense of humor and still keep her skin. The program was a column torn out of a newspaper, and slugs were used for place cards. Skits for Old (iold and Black were reminiscent of the fights between the Student Council and the paper, with side-lights on the latest decisions of fraternity caucus thrown in.

The Howi.kk started out under difficulties. It continued under difficulties. Bill Clark, who was elected editor, was called by Uncle Sam at the end of (he summer. Lib Jones, who was to be editor of the Student, took over the job upon the discontinuation of the literary magazine.

This year the combined Glee Club of men and women, reached as high a peak of achievement The Glee Club sang for the first time on November 5 and again at Christmas vespers. The Christmas program, while a comparatively young tradition, is growing to be a real part of the college. The spirit of Christmas was reflected in the carolling of college voices; the strains of Handel ' s Messiah thrilled the audience which filled the church auditorium. In February the Glee Club joined forces with the Band. On March 10 the final concert of the year was given — Professor McDonald ' s farewell concert. A new song made its debut — the Stars Had Never Spoken, written by Mr. McDonald with words bv Emily Crandall. sweet potato soloist. These novelty features added variety to the performances of the bund. The goal of singers for years has been to be included in the octet. This year the octet went co-ed, and surprisingly enough for an octet, it had nine members. This sprightly group enter- tained at the Baptist State Convention, at the Durham Baptist Church, at the Rotary Club i concerts. The numbers were as varied s the ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, ANYHOW Perhaps it is just in the air. Perhaps it is the beauty of the campus. Perhaps it is simply that we are generally happy and like to sing. What- ever the reason, Wake Forest is a singing college. It always has been. Writers of the early years, before there were glee chilis or music organiza- tions, speak of the songs wafted across the campus in the evening, usually the popular songs of the time. One of the memories of alumni is of the informal, spontaneous singing in which Wake Foresters indulge at any or no excuse, in large or small groups, even singly. The story of the year would not be complete if we did not record some of this year ' s evidences of this tradition. Few of us can be in glee chili, or choir, or chorus. But nearly all of us, regard- less of voice quality or musical training, arc ready most of the time to enjoy ourselves in song. At night you may follow a lone student ' s progress across the campus bv his baritone or tenor or nondescript vocalism. You may hear an im- promptu quartet gathered on a bench pouring out their strains of unpremeditated art. You may obtain an operatic recital near any bathroom, or a complete musicale ill dormitory or fraternity house. You can spot a picnic or weiner roast half a mile away by the concord of sweet sounds that fills the air around. In the book store and other public places you may even find songsters, less self-conscious than most of us, sweet-adelining for the benefit of bridge players and coke drinkers. In short, we sing anywhere, anytime, anyhow. This page, then, is dedicated to this tradition of the singing strength of Wake Forest. RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES Chaplain, Eugene Olive, visiting and faculty speakers led in the devotional exercises. All the religious activities at Wake Forest are organized under the Baptist Student Union, a nation-wide college organization. The Council, made up of the heads of the unit organizations and chief general officers met regularly to direct and integrate the many religious activities on the campus. The accomplishments of the B.S.TJ. this year were notable In scope and interest. At the state B.S.U.

After losing the first two games in the final minute of each and the third game by one touchdown, Wake Forest came back to defeat X. C. State, V.M.I., Clemson, and Carolina Pre-flight. While the team then was being mentioned as a possible candidate for some Bow] bid, it eliminated itself by losing the last two games, and wound up the season with a record of four won and rive lost. Wake Forest 20-Camp Davis 24 The first game of the 1943 season was played with Camp Davis near Wilmington. It was an inexperienced and crippled Demon Deacon squad that made the trip. Many of the important players were brand new, and a large number of It was a closely contested football game, and in spite of the loss, Coach Walker was well pleased with the showing made by all his players.

As it was although the Deacs were defeated, they made a creditable show- ing, and kept the game from developing into the dreaded track-meet type. Russ Perry, fullback from Durham, continually hacked the line with his long kicks which kept Maryland on its heels most of the game. Wake Forest O-Georgia 7 A hard-fighting Demon Deacon eleven played its third game of the season in the heart of Georgia when it met the mighty Bulldogs of the University of Georgia. The Wake Forest team showed a splendid defense. They stopped every drive of the Georgia team except one. In the first quarter the Bulldogs marched 79 yards for the single of the football game. During the last three quarters Wake Forest played a superior brand of ball. The team reminded spectators of the teams before the war when Deacon teams were a real power in Southern Conference football. Georgia is known for its splendid passing attack, hut the Deacons allowed it to complete only two of fifteen attempted aerials. The able competi- tion the Deacon team furnished Georgia made a good, hard-fought encounter. An interesting side-light of the game with the Georgia Bulldogs was the fact that there were 75 Georgia players in uniform. Wake Forest op- posed them with 30 men. Wake Forest 54-N. C.

State managed only one touchdown to our eight. Fred Grant made four of the touchdowns for Wake Forest, a feat which put him in the lead in Southern Conference scoring honors. He was by far the outstanding player of the night game. With a half-time lead of two touchdowns, Wake Forest came bark for the last two quarters and turned the game into a free-scoring contest. Six touchdowns followed each other in rapid succes- sion. Although State had played g 1 hall in the first half, her defense crumpled. She offered little opposition to the clearly superior Wake Forest line-up. Wake Forest 21.

The defensive and offensive abilities of the Deacon eleven were both used to effect. Though both backs and lines- men were put to it to keep V.M.I, from scoring on Wake Forest, they were equal to every task. A .M.I. ' s passing star, Garvin Jones, was injured early in the game and this greatly hampered his team. There was no doubt at any time in the game that Wake Forest would come out on top. Nick Sacrinty, Wake Forest tailback, made the national sports pages with a 94-yard run for a touchdown. It was the country ' s longest run of the week. Buck Garrison, tackle, made a fine showing, blocking two Keydet kicks. The whole team played good football. The players showed that they had found themselves and were beginning to work steadily together. J i- IT Brogden, on a reverse, picks up ten yards Wake Forest 41-Clemson 12 On Clemson ' s Homecoming Day Wake Forest ' s team made itself an unwelcome guest. The beauti- ful celebration was spoiled for the Bengals by a crushing Wake Forest victory. The score was 41 to 12 when the game was over. The Clemson Tigers were first to score. For a while it looked as if the Deacons might have a tough fight. But soon Wake Forest ' s boys moved into a lead they never gave up. Sacrinty made a successful pass and Russ Perry made a 35-yard run for a touch- down. The race was on. While Clemson made good on neither of her attempted place-kicks, Wake Forest completed five. Cliff Hobbs, Deacon guard, was outstand- ing as extra-point kicker. Twice he had to punt from the twenty-yard line as the result of penalties. Garrison and Bill Starford played consistently good defense ball. Harris ' pass-catching was instrumental in the Wake Forest attack, team was rewarded for a fine game, by a fim to take home. The Wake Forest 20-Pre-flight 12 In the seventh game of the season, Wake Forest ' s Deacon eleven became a real credit to Southern football. They down the strong North Carolina Pre-flight team from Chapel Hill. Against a team made up of former college and professional stars the Deacons had a hard-fought battle. They rose to a height, in football they had not reached before in the season, and came out with the long end of a 20 to 12 count. Wake Forest took an early lead when Harris blocked a kick and Sacrinty passed to him in the end zone.

The Deacons wont down under the more powerful gridiron machine. The S. C. Game- cocks with their star-studded roster were too much for the civilian team from Wake Forest. The Demon Deacs played good ball, though. They kept a powerful team down to two touchdowns. The line showed up splendidly and the backfield worked well most of the game. When the ball was moved into position for Wake Forest to score, however, the last necessary bit of punch failed to show up. The Gold and Black failed to go over for that touchdown. At the same time, South Carolina took advantage of her opponent ' s weak- ness. She capitalized on the breaks that came her way and made two touchdowns and an extra point. Wake Forest ' s single score of two points was the result of a loose ball recovered in the end-zone. At least there were people in the stands at the South Carolina frame to watch this gain. , First row, left to right: James Robertson, John Bruno, Fred Grant, Second row: Buddy Farrow, Manager.

TWO INFORMAL BASKETBALL TEAMS left Because of a lease on the college gymnasium by the Tinted States Army, Wake Forest was not formally represented by a basketball team this that the best is none t year. However there were enough students in- turned out a tine team. terested in the game to furnish two teams. The students, on their own initiative and witl no college backing formed a girls ' team. Tin Co-eds, and a hoys ' team, The Informals. By tl doing this tiny helped carry on a sport that has played a major part in the winter sports program of Wake Forest College for forty years. The Wake Forest Informals were composed of Doyle, Bruno, Grant, Robertson, Gaskin, Smith and Harris. Using college equipment The Filthy Five, as they were affectionately known on the campus, swept through their schedule of ten games undefeated. Led by the fine shooting of Shorty Robertson and the outstanding floor work of Fred Grant, the Informals, averaging seventy points a game, rolled over Wake Forest High School, Rolesville, Louis- burg, Raleigh White Flashes, Camp Butner, Bailey All-Stars and the Henderson All-Stars in rapid succession. The significance of such a season by this in- formal team cannot he dismissed. It indicates the interest displayed in this sport, and it also demonstrates that there might possibly be enough talent on the campus next year to warrant an official college team. The Wake Forest College Co-eds turned their ttention to the field of sports and organized a asketball team. Living up to their tradition good for them, the girls Playing a representative schedule, the Co-eds closed out their season with only two defeats.

The facilities of the gymnasium were not avail- able to college students, because the building formed barracks for members of the Army Finance School. Instead of basketball goals and parallel liars the floor was lined with beds and chests. .Most of the activities took place out of doors, under the direction of Coach Phil Utley. Calisthe- nics were given. The boys marched, hiked, played tag football and softball. Intramural sports were stressed. The fraterni- ties, the literary societies, the non-fraternity groups formed football and softball teams and competed with one another. In the spring an in- formal baseball team was organized by boys who were interested in the sport. In spite of limited facilities, the work of keeping physically fit was retained at usual standards.

It has grown fr a two-year school to a four-year school and has ved fr Wake Forest to Winston-Salem. It has met the problem of adding many new men to its faculty and adding many new courses to its curriculum. It has changed from an institution only ulti- mately related to the sick, to an integral part of a large hospital, directly ad- ministering to thousands of patients. It has bestowed for the first time the degree of Doctor of Medicine. In spite of so many new personal problems to meet, it has fallen directly in line and contributed its part to the nation at war. It has lost some of its faculty and has been handicapped in other ways by the war, but it has rapidly become organized and has already experienced new growing pains. Army and naval educational units have been established in the school and these have worked together with the administration to train more and better physicians. The war baby is working before it is weaned. The following pages attempt to present something of the story of this growth, but more particularly the picture of the past year. BOWMAN GRAY Bowman Gray, who was born in Winston-Salem on May 1, 1874, received early education in the scl Is of Winston-Salem and entered the University of North Carolina In the class of 1894. Upon leaving the University he returned to Winston to become associated with the Wachovia National Bank, of which his father was Cashier and one of the original founders. After a few years at the Wachovia Hank, he left to join the Sales Department of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, then a small tobacco manufactory. It was generally stated that he gave up a position of $100.00 per month for a $25.00 per month one. He represented the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company in the eastern part of the United States for many years, having his headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland. In 1! 1 ' . ' he was trans- ferred to Winston-Salem as Vice President and in 1924 became President of the R. J. Reynolds To- bacco Company and later seined as Chairman of the Board of Directors, which position he was hold- ing at the time of his death in July 1935. As Manager of the Sales Department of the Reynolds Com- pany he was given large part of the credit for the Company ' s rise from 1912 as the smallest of the Big Four Tobacco Manufacturing Companies to the point of being the largest Tobacco Company. He made a gift of the property on which the Centenary Methodist Church now stands in Winston- Salem and among many other philanthropies included sizable gifts to orphanages and hospitals. The municipal stadium in Winston-Salem, known as the Bowman Gray Memorial Stadium, was built after his death with funds donated by his widow as the s] sor ' s part of a WPA project. Bowman Gray was a quiet, unassuming individual anil shunned publicity id ' any sort. He served for a while as a member of the Hoard of Directors of the Wachovia Hank and Trust C puny and as a Trustee of Centenary Methodist Church, hut in the main devoted his entire energies to the Reynolds Tobacco Company. Bowman Gray had two sons. Bowman, Jr.. an, I Gordon Gray. The new swi ing J I at the University of North Carolina serves as a memorial to the late Bowman Gray, the gift of Bowman and Gordon Gray and their ther. .More recently the Bowman Cray Foundation Fund, created by the will of late Bowman Gray, was directed to Wake Forest College to provide an extension of their Medical Scl 1 from a two-year to a four-year College, which is located In Winston-Salem, ■ m ■ NEW FOUR-YEAR SCHOOL DEVELOPED REPRESENTATIVES of Wake Forest Col- lege, the Trustees of the North Carolina Baptist Hospital, and the Committee of the Bowman Gray Foundation voted on August t. J9. ' )9. to join their various interests and estab- lish in Winston-Salem. North Carolina, the Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest College. The late Bowman Gray, of Winston-Salem, who was Chairman of the Board of Directors of the R. .1. Reynolds Tobacco Company, at Ins death provided in his will for the establish- ment of the Bowman Gray Foundation. He designated a committee, composed of his brother, James A. Gray, his widow, Mrs. Natalie Gray, and his two sons, Gordon and Bowman, to select the project to he served by tin- Foundation. This Committee awarded to Wake Forest College the entire resources of that Foundation to he used for its medical school in Winston-Salem. The Trustees of Wake Forest College ac- cepted the resources of the Foundation and voted to move its two-year medical school, which had been in operation in Wake Forest since 1902, to Winston-Salem, where it would he known as the Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest College, and to expand tin- school to offer the entire four years id ' medicine leading to the M.D. degree. The North Carolina Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, a 108-bed hospital established by the Baptist State Convention of North Caro- lina in 192.3, was chosen as the principal teach- ing hospital for the new medical school. The Trustees of the hospital assumed the responsi- bility for enlarging the hospital to a 300-bed institution and providing for its maintenance. It was agreed that the remodeled and enlarged Baptist Hospital and the new medical school be constructed as one building with communicating Hoors. Under the supervision of Northup O ' Brien, architects of Winston-Salem, construc- tion was begun in early summer, 1940, and the new building was ready for occupation by Sep- tember 1941, with an approximate total ex- penditure of $1,350,000. Cornerstone laying exercises were held on April 16, 1941, with Dr. Nathan Van Etten. President of the American Medical Association, as guest speaker. Mrs. Bess Gray Plumly. Wake Forest Medical Scl I.

In September 1941. the two-year school from Wake Forest moved into the new building, ade- quately equipped and staffed at that time for only pre-elinical instruction. The formal open- ing of the school was held in the amphitheater on September 11. 1941, with Dr. Fred Zapffe, Secretary of the Association of American Medical Colleges, as principal speaker for the occasion. In the meantime preparations were being made for the clinical instruction of students as they reached their third and fourth years. In June 1942, the school ' s first third-year class began its clinical training on the wards of the enlarged Baptist Hospital. In March 1943, the Ground is broken for the Ne o t Working on the New Wing. fourth year was added to the school ' s curriculum. Senior students received part of their training at the Baptist Hospital, and part of it at the fol- lowing institutions in and around Winston-Salem, which had become affiliated with the new medical school: the Forsyth County Hospital, a 178-bed institution for residents of Forsyth County with acute, chronic, and mental illnesses; the Forsyth Countv Tuberculosis Sanatorium with 160 beds; the Heath Memorial Hospital, a 40-bed in- firmary at a large orphanage in Winston-Salem; the Roaring Gap Hospital, a 30-bed hospital in Remodeling the Old Baptist Hospital. Moving from Wake Forest to Winston-Sale the mountains near Winston-Salem, for the treatment of children during the summer months; and the City Memorial Hospitals of Winston- Salem, with 230 beds in the white division, and 220 beds in the Negro division ( Kate Bitting Reynolds Hospital). Senior students also had experience working in the clinics of the Forsyth County Health Department. The new school held its first graduation exer- cises on December 19 and L ' O. 1943, with Dr. Olin T. Binkley, Professor of Religion at Wake Forest College, delivering the haeealaureate sermon, with Dr. Thurman D. Kitehin. Pres- ident of Wake Forest College giving the baccalaureate address and awarding the degrees, and with the Honorable Melville lSroughton.

Not only a master at what is called the art of practicing medicine, he also possesses an inquisitive and energetic mind which con- stantly searches for the truth and keeps him abreast of modern medical discoveries and advances. As a fam- ily physician par excellence, he symbolizes medicine at its best. At once he combines the culture, dignity. and high ethics of the old sel 1 of medicine with all the science and skill of the new school of medicine. Being a graduate and trustee of Wake Forest Col- lege, an influential member of the North Carolina Baptist Hospital start ' , and a widely respected physi- cian in Winston-Salem, when the Wake Forest medical sel I moved to Winston-Salem he became a sort of liaison officer between the new school and the medical profession and public of Winston-Salem. He or- ganized and became Chief of the Private Diagnostic Clinic, and thus attracted medical men of high calibre who were already practicing in Winston-Salem to be- come affiliated with and teach in the new medical school. He himself was made Professor of Clinical Medicine. Dr. Johnson was bom in Rivcrton. North Carolina. on August 12, 1885.

He served his intern- ship at the Philadelphia Polyclinic in 1909-1910. Since 1910 he has been a general practitioner in Winston-Salem. In 1920-1921 he took a post- graduate course in Pediatrics at Columbia University. Since that time his medical interests have been directed toward internal medicine, and he has been a diplomats of the American Board of Internal Medicine since 1937. He is an active member of the following medical organizations: American Medical Association; North Carolina Medical Society (Past President); Forsyth County Medical Society (Past President); American College of Physicians; American Association for the Advancement of Science; American Geriatrics Society (Past Vice President, present President); Southern Medical Association; Tri-State Medical Society; North Carolina Neuro-Psychiatric Association.

After the armistice he returned to Charlotte and specialized in Internal Medicine. Always in- terested in Genetics, he began doing research in this subject in 1927 in collaboration with Dr. Laurence H. Snyder, Professor of Genetics at North Carolina State College. In 1939 his work in Genetics attracted the attention of the Carnegie Corporation of New Voik which subsequently gave him financial assistance to carry on his research in this field. His research has included work on blood groups, migraine, diabetes, Parkinson ' s syndrome, and retinitis pigmentosa.

Thompson Business Manager Herbert V. Hadlev Picture Editor THE JOURNAL OF THE BOWMAN GRAY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE TN THE SUMMER of 1942 Joe Hester, pres- -lident of the student body, appointed a publica- tion committee to explore the possibilities of starting a school periodical. After many meetings and debutes, the committee deeided to publish a journal consisting of student papers on various scientific subjects. There were several reasons for this decision, but the chief one was that some of the papers being written by the students as part of their regular assignments were of such excellent quality that they deserved wider circulation than was then possible. In December of 1942 the first number of The Journal appealed. This was a small magazine, and very few copies were ordered from the printers. In fact, it was intended that only the alumni and other medical schools should receive it. Hut the response was so enthusiastic that the print order on the next issue was increased. Copies are now distributed nationally. Alsobh i.Editor Wood, Business Manor. EDITORIAL STAFF fc llSm 4it AUSBAND Jennings HOGGARD POE HoRA.N Thompson A signal honor was given The Journal by the life.
