To Da ' ids()n it has been the long-awaited year of return to normalcy. The student body has swelled to over 900 men, the classes are in proper proportion to one another in size, and most of the campus organizations have been re-activated. To those of us returning from ser ' ice in the armed forces, it has been an important year— one which we would like to remember. Separation from Davidson has taught us that what we recall most vividly are the friendships and associations created here on the campus .... ' our fellow students, and with the members of our faculty. May These Pages Perpetuate It . . . We remember our classes, and our extra-curricular activities. We think often of our chapel programs, where the student body gathers to hear outstanding speakers, to sing hymns, and to worship together; and where cries of Pass him down. Oop, oop, oop! and I low now, brown cow! interrupt the student announcements. The dance week-ends and the trips to Charlotte, the hall prayer meetings and the Y. M. C. A. gift fund, the nightK trip to the stud and the cries of Freshman, take this laundry! , Salem Day and the spirit of Rush Week, the weekly copy of the Spring elections Siimhiy Morning Worsliiy. In Dur MemDries Davidsonian and R. O. T. C. drill ... all these things make an indelible impression on us. Nor will we soon forget football oames, Homecoming decorations, Senior-Faculty day, pep meet- ings, bull sessions, spring elections, and all the other activities that go to make up Davidson life. Words and pictures alone cannot fully portray what Da id- son realh ' is, but in these pages we have made an attempt to make vi ' id in our memories those things which arc so integrated with life on the campus thai they not only arc a part of l)a idson, but actualK ' arc l)a idson.

THIS BDDK WE DEDICATE TD I II IV Brin ino to Da ' idson College an exemplary devotion to task and steadfastness of ideal, I lenrv Traev Lilly, Professor of English, has inereased In lull measure the dynamics ol our faculty. Because Prolessor Lilly has enlightened our minds and stimulated our thinking, we pay written tribute here as we dedicate this ' olume to him. We admire him for his interesting personality, calm ap- proach to life, and for his conviction that the nature of things must he given in their true light. It is an historical token that we here declare puhliclv our realization of Professor Lilly ' s service in help- ing to prepare us, with his challenging classes, for our lite ahead.

Davidson On the drive .... the students this school year ha ' e for the most part just returned horn another duty where college sched- ules would seem foreign. A splendid record has been made by those men in the service, and there has been an obvious sign in the work of these men that the splendid record is continuing here. There was ' ery little need for reconversion, as had been anticipated, since, in general, the students have been in the groove. The return of so many of the members of pre-war classes has introduced an interesting range of ages— from the teens into the thirties. Burning midnight oil, men and boys alike are made aware that Davidson ' s standards in scholarship are hard to meet. There is not any sugar-coating for courses, but neither are there bitter pills, unless college life was expected to be a vacation period. This does not happen to be the case at Davidson as every student finds out. With the difficulty and exactness of the work, there is the pride and satishiction of ha ' ing been urged to do the Students Work Toward A Vocation best. Not satisfied with a weak, disjointed training, Da ' idson offers work that cannot be denied its place, high in the hst of America ' s best institutions. Life on the campus is centered around the class and study buildings where a sizeable part of the day is spent. But this work time is not out of proportion because Davidson believes in other activities as well. Knowing that the liberal arts col- lege is designed for the college man as a whole, Davidson tries to maintain a balance of extra-curricular and social life that is stimu- lating, as well as to stand firm for high standards of work. An in- crease in faculty ranks has met the influx of students which ha ' c reached an all-time high for the college. Some see the student body, as it is now in its swelled condition; others look for the future student body in a smaller size. Whatever the problem may be, the present has shown that Davidson is able to accept army training programs, sparse days of lew students, and enroUnienls of o er 900, all in the best tradition.

Extra-curricular Davidson For your information and pleasure .... alonc with the regular schedule of classes that are the tonnal part to education on the campus, there are the many clubs and societies which bear out in a practical way what is learned in class. Here is a pleasant way to spend time in a field of interest that cannot be satisfied during the rci ular class hour. In a regulated uroup, mutually interested in the same undertaking, there is am|-)le op- portunity to fill out the college plan in a pursuit of interesting subjects. Since the |iarticipatii n in an group is kept at a mobile number, there is a good chance to air vour own oiiinions and hear what the other fellow has to sa , informally. Ihe mightiest in number this ear is the International Relations C luh; the most acti ' e are the Y. M. i . A., the arious publications, the Red and Black Masquers, and the music clubs. Honorary Societies and Organizations All Organizations plav a xital part in rounding out the liic of the colleoe, and are di ' ersitied enough to encompass ahnost every particular interest. Much ot the concrete worth that comes to the student can be attributed to the various honorary societies and organizations because in these are made many of the worthwhile traditions on the campus. Actually, the personality of the campus has in many respects come from this extra-curricular activity. That the man ' clubs play a very important part in the building of leadership and ability there is no doubt. During the war, most of the clubs were inacti ' e and it has fallen to the students this year to reactivate most of these organizations. There have been some slow starts, but the handicap of beginning anew has been reponsi- ble lor this. Altogether, things haxe liegun to shape up once more so that there is renewed interest in the atlairs that were considered important before the war.

Very ablv led this year by Murphy Williams as General Secretary and Jim Jackson as President, the Y played a very important role in both college and community life. There are fourteen different departments in the Y. M. C. A., and the leaders of each of these departments make up the cabinet. The work of the Y is divided up into these heads: world evangelism, Sunday schools, spiritual development, chapel ser- vices, deputations, freshman work, boys ' work, publications, com- munity service, Student Government representative, vespers and church relations, spiritual development, and social life. The policies of the Y. M. C. A. are set by the Board of Control. This body is made up of the President, the General Secretary, and other student members elected by the Student Body.

OFFICERS Johnny McAlister, Judge Georwe Ennett, Recorder The Court ol Control has been one of the foremost inlluenccs in i uidino; the Freshmen through their first year at Dax ' idson. Main ol iliem lia c liati experiences with the Court which will cause them to look back with pleasure in their later years, even though at the time they may have been vitriolic in their condemnation of it. Judge Johnny McAlister and his associates have been a great benefit to the Frosli of this year— getting them oriented in the surroundings and traditions ol the college. It has been their dut to try all violators ot the Freshman regulations and Davidson traditions, and any freshman charged by an upperclassman with misconduct. Although the C ourt is olten thought o( as a court ol punishment, its primary purpose is not to con ' ict, but to administer justice. And it can be little denied by anyone that the ' iolators ha ' c been mcle ' d a superior brand ol justice by impartial |udges. Paf e One Hundred foil Red and Black Masquers The theatrical side oF Da ' icison life has been greatly ad ' aneed through the past year by the Red and Black Masquers. The members oF this organization have given their time to the presenting of perFormances which have increased the enjoyment oF the student body in seeking relaxation From their studies. The actors and members of the stage crew have all been student volunteers except in the case of Female roles which have been filled bv local girls and co-eds. Since Davidson does not have a dramatics department, Professor Erwin has olunteered his assistance as ad iser to the group, which has excelled this car through his aid, and through the directorship of Middv Ravnal, one of the eterans of the Davidson stage. The job oF stage manager has been faithfullv performed bv Jimmy Gribben. The historv of the Red and Black Masquers can be traced back to the school vear 1920-21, when Professor Erwin joined the Davidson faculty and assumed his volunteer duties as adviser, a position he has held since that time. The first production of the Masquers was a minstrel show which was received bv the students with much enthu- siasm, as it broke a ten year period of dramatic inactivity on the campus. Since then the group has had its ups and downs, producing from one to four plavs a vear, except dur- ing the recent war vears. For its production of Mr. and Mrs. North during the fall semester the Masquers are to be congratulated. FACULTY MEMBERS Prof. E. J. Erwin Prof. Gordon Wood Miss Susie M. Jackson Miss Mary C.

This organization was brought into being by a group ol Da ' idson students who had as their aim the production ot men more capable in the art of speaking and debating; and also in the acquiring of a spirit of subordination among the society ' s members. The society has many interesting programs consisting of debates and orations, and has sponsored a few open forums. This year discussions have centered mainly on items of current interest. J.

This society prides itself in its well kept traditions and the many notable men who were once members, one of whom was Woodrow Wilson. This group was founded by a few students of Davidson and will he found in no other institution. At first membership was allowed only to North Carolina students, but this restriction was soon lifted. The aim of this organization, in addition to trying to de el()p clear thinking and writing, is to make forceful and effective speakers and to create an apprecia- tion of good literature. During the years of the war this society was practically extinct, but it has begun this year an all out effort to attain its rightful place among Davidson societies. 1947 James S. Love Tom L.

In previous years membership in the club has been by invitation, but this year, because of the greatly enlarged student body, the club has extended mem bership to all students interested in international questions.

I he college weekU newspaper goes to press each Monday night in its ofi ' ice on Him Row and appears on the following Friday afternoon. Headed by an editor and business manager chosen each spring from the rising Senior class by the student body, the organization is staffed with members of the three lower classes. Twelve juniors, six of whom are managing editors in the editorial division, and six who manage the various business departments, shoulder much of the responsibility of the publication. Reporters are selected from the Freshman and Sophomore classes. The Davidsonian was founded bv the class of 1915 and holds mem- bership in the Associated Collegiate Press. Only once in its thirty-two years of existence has the paper recei ed an honor rating below that of first class. Stri ' ing to promote better conditions on the campus, presenting student views on current problems, and making a determined effort to enhance student-faculty relations, The Davidsonian lives up to her motto, For a Better Davidson.

Scripts ' ii Pranks, the College humor magazine, is pub- lished four times a year. Due to the interruption made by the war, the magazine had a late start, but managed to appear in December, February, April, and May. Under the able editorship of Doug Swink and the eHicient man- agership of Jim Lo ' e, the Scripts ' n Pranks of this year obtained the approval of the majorit ' of the students. Its circulation reached an all time high of 1,300 copies per issue. The editor of the magazine, who is elected by the student body, chooses the editorial staff. Orin Whitaker assumed the title of art editor, and Jimmy Gribben, Jerry Leland, and Cameron Nuttall served as managing editors. The business manager is picked by the Publications Board, and he in turn chooses the business staff. In order to keep pace with the times, Editor Swink strove to get new ideas, points of interest, and views on topics of daily conversa- tions. One of the most striking, and certainly the most noteworthy of these, was his contest for the girl who had the prettiest legs on David- son ' s campus.

Aside from rendering their services at the Sunday e ' en- ing vespers, the Glee Club has gi ' en programs in Concord, Kannapolis, and also one here at the college. The most outstanding programs, however, were those given on a Northern tour taken in April. This included concerts in New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, and a coast-to-coast radio broadcast over the Columbia Broadcastino System. Earl F. Berc Director Vernon B.

Included in the varied exhibitions of the band were the sparkler display used at the night games and the bubble scene enacted during the latter part of the season.

LITTLE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA During the war years, it was impossible to continue the work of the Davidson Little Symphony Orchestra. This year with the aid of faculty members and students from Queens, the work of the organization has been resumed. It is composed of the best orchestral material available in both of the colleges. It has appeared as an accompany- ing group in The Messiah and the Pirates of Penzance performances, and has plaved for the annual Christmas Vesper Service. During the fall a trip was made to Banner Elk for a concert at Lees-McRae College. Two full concerts were given during the spring semester. LITTLE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA R. 0. T.

The team was built around a strong nucleus of returning lettermen from the 1945 team: P. P. Deaton, S. D. McDaniel, F. V. Long, and C. M. Coffey. New members winning a place on the team were as follows: P. M. Brown, A. M. Rankin, C. K. Maxwell, H. T. Glaze, T. F. Craver, R. B. Covington, W. W. Weathev, and G. L. Lowe. In six shoulder to shoulder matches, fhis year ' s team split two matches with Oak Ridge Military Institute and two matches with the Charlotte Rifle and Pistol Club. A single match with Clemson was won, while dropping one to The Citadel. In its correspondence matches the team v. ' on from Clemson, Citadel, Wofford, Presbyterian, Pittsburgh, and Hawaii, and lost only to Oregon State and Washington Universit y. The records show that the team jilaced fourth in the William Randolph Hearst Trophy Match, and eighth in the 1 hird rm ' Area Intercollegiate matches. The outlook for next year is very bright, since all ol this car ' s team is cx]iected back. The ' Cats have good hopes of bringing the 1 learst 1 ro]ih ' , which they lost in 1944, back to Da ' idson next year. lop indixithial honors go to P. M. Brown, C. M. Coffev, P. P. Deaton, and F. V.

To be too busy to help a limping Wildcat is unthought of for Doc, and yet to see him when he isn ' t busy is impossible. It ' s not for one sport or for one week, but for all sports the year round. He ' s t here at the crack of dawn each day, and he ' s the last to leave in the evening. No job it too much for Doc; he ' s sewn jerseys, shoulder pads, and tights, and he ' s used miles of tape doing his bit to keep that red and black machine rolling. All boys are his boys, and whether they ' re the stars or the subs he ' s always got a smile and a kind word to say. There never was a person at Da ' idson who had more of that fighting Wildcat spirit than Doc, and it ' s a common sight to see him pacing the sidelines ladened with more worries than it seems possible when things aren ' t going right. He ' s as gentle as a mother when you ' re hurt, and he ' s got a hea ' y foot for any loafer. That unknown quality that has made Davidson athletics stand high today, that ' s Doc White. For all these things and for many more that can never be written we want to extend a united and heartfelt word of thanks, and say we ' re fortunate that we can say, Our Doc White. The D Club A. W.

' hen Coach Story unveiled his fighting Wildcats of 1946, they showed every promise of living up to the spirit of previous years. This was the first football team since 1943, and although they were packed with power and talent, they were inexperienced at working as a team. Davidson chalked up four ictorics to five defeats this season, but took many honors in other departments. After her first two games Davidson led the nation in four departments— total offense, total defense, rushing of- fense, and rushing defense. Even after bowing to the powerful N. C. State team, Davidson still led the nation in total defense with a record of having held three op- ponents to an average of 71.7 yards both rushing and passing, and continued to stand in this place through five games. At the close of the season, Da idson found its name once again in the national limelight, for the greatest yard- age both on the ground and in the air by one team in a single game was the 677 yard total compiled bv the Cats against Erskine. The Wildcats also placed fourth in the nation in total defense. Davidson is looking forward to a victorious 1947 season, for they will not only ha ' e power but experience, and will undoubtedly be able to hold their own in the South- ern Conference schedule.

The Cats opened up early and had amassed 27 points by the time the first quarter ended. The reserves took over at that point and the attack tapered off to 13 points in the second period. The Wildcats came back strong after the half to score a total of 34 points. From the beginning of the game until the end, Erskine never stood a chance against the fighting Cats, and only managed to sneak over one first down and a total of 47 yards rushing and passing. Davidson used practically every man on the squad at one time or another during the game, and all played a bang- up brand of football. Davidson ' s blocking was sharp and the execution of plays was neat. The Cats ' eleven touch- downs were made by eleven different players. Dick O ' Hair and Easy Rhodes starred on the defense in the strong forward wall, and the long runs of Carl Sheppard. Jake Wade, Doug Rice, and Bill Austin added thrills to the Cats ' opening game.

Davidson scored the first time they got the ball, hcn Erwin took the ball on a re erse and ran it 23 yards for a touchdown. Penalties cost Davidson two touchdowns in the first period, after Junie Guy had made two long runs. A pass from Sheppard to O ' Hair was pood for another touchdown. The next two tallies by the Cats were the result of the long passes and good running of Dick O ' Hair. After a bad kick by Wolford, Davidson ' s Carl Sheppard bounced off tackle for 26 yards and an- other score. In the fourth period the ' Cats scored 28 points « ith Carl Sheppard, Bert Anderton, and J. D. Ash- more leading the way to show the stands that Davidson was rolling again.

STATE 25 After two inspiring oames, Davidson ' s high-spirited Wildcats journeyed to Raleigh to meet their old rival, North Carolina State. State, under the expert coaching of Beatie Feathers, had defeated two strong teams, Duke and Clemson, and was rated among the top teams of the South. The Cats held the Wolfpack to a scoreless first half by pl aying magnificent football which sent thrills up the spines of the Davidson rooters and chills up the spines of the N. C. State students. Red Bethea and Leslie Palmer swapped punts, and neither team was able to gain in the first period. As the second quarter drew to a close. Davidson got its first chance to score when the Cats hauled the ball to the State 13. However, State dug in and held. Later Gene Bingham, Davidson center, inter- cepted Turner ' s pass and raced it back to the Wolf- pack 19 yard line. Anderton passed to O ' Hair for 9 more yards. By this time the stands were in a frenzy of excitement, but the half time gun caught the Cats before they could cross the line. In the second half, Gwynn Fletcher, the former Davidson tailback, led the Wolfpack to victory with a series of powerful runs. Davidson lans will be talking for a long time about the men who held the Wolfpack to a scoreless first half. Among those receiving praise will be linemen Dick O ' Hair, Buddy Chandler, Easy Rhodes, Johnny Walker. Pat Williams, and Gene Bingham, and backs Carl Sheppard, Mac Erwin, and Red Bethea.

The ' Cats were heavily weakened in the end department, due to Dick O ' Hair knee injury and Hal Mapes ' s ineligibility for off-campus games. V. M. I. took advantage of the Cats ' inexperience by covering Davidson ' s fumbles and making these pay off with touchdowns. The Keydets did most of their scoring early, crossing the goal three times in the first half. With the score 18 to against them, the Wildcats played the Keydets ragged in the third period, but were unable to score. V. M. I. took it over for the final touchdown in the fourth period.

However the game was exciting and served as a good teacher for the inexperience Wildcats. Rich- mond, with only one loss to Duke to mar their record, was considered the number 1 team in Virginia at that time. Davidson missed scoring early in the game when they marched from their own 30 to the Richmond 20, with Mac Erwin, Carl Sheppard, and Jim Sifford doing some excellent work and then had their touchdown pass inter- cepted on the Spider 6 yard line. In the fourth period, the Cats worked the ball to the 20 again, only to have their passing attack bog down again. By this time the Wildcats were hungry for a score, and thcv drove 49 yards to pay dirt the next time they got their hands on the ball. Adams and Erwin were the men responsible for this drive, with Rice splitting tackle to tally. Phillips kick was blocked and the game ended.

Starting their onslaught in the opening period, Davidson ' s Hal Mapes scored a touchdown on an end-around dash. Soon after this the stands began to take notice of this end, for Mapes caught Sheppard ' s pass and ran over for his second touchdown. Clyde Hooker, freshman star, came up with the next touchdown by piling through center. Mapes kicked his eighth straight conversion and the score stood 21 to at half time. Color was added during the half bv 18 visiting bands w.iich marched around the stadium giving much enjoyment to all the fans.

In spite of heavy rain, W. L. ' s passing attack verified all the reports and just could not be stopped. The Cat line showed its strength early in the game, when, led by Johnny Walker and Bob Strickland, thev held the Generals on the one vard line for four successive running plays. By the time the fourth period rolled around Davidson was fighting mad and they loosed some of their best attempts of the afternoon to score. Carl Pahl bulldozed his way to the 48 from his own 30. Jim Sifford added 8 more yards on a re erse, and Pahl followed through with a 25 yard dash to the General 30. Carl Sheppard ' s pass to Jim Sifford was good for 30 yards and a touchdown.

The game was full of thrills Iriim the beginning to the end, though Davidson letl the Bulldogs in every department except touch- downs. The peak of the excitement was reached when Luther Dunfee, a Citadel back, took the kickoff on his own 8 vard stripe, dashed through a hole in the Davidson defense, and raced 92 yards to score. Davidson fans thought the same play was to be returned when Carl Sheppard of the Cats returned the kickoff 60 yards from his own seven yard line. But the Wildcats were stopped on the Citadel 14 and they failed to make good their threat. However, a few plays later Daxidson clawed their way back down the field, and Jim Sifford completed a pass into the end zone to Buddy Check to make the score 14 to 13 in favor of Citadel. The Bulldogs clinched the game in the last few minutes when they recovered a fumble and drove over for a touch- down.

Led by Mac Erwin, who returned to his home town to lead the Cats to victory, Davidson played alert ball and turned back the favored Furman team to score their first conference victory. Early in the first period, Erwin intercepted a pass on the 28 and ran it back to the Hurricane 16. The Cats then moved to the five on a pass from Sifford to Sheppard, and from that point Sifford drove over left tackle for the score. Chandler ' s attempted conversion was no good. In the third quarter, after battering the ball down the field, Carl Pahl smashed over for the second touchdown. Furman ' s Trubuck engineered a desperate Hurri- cane drive to the Cat 30 yard stripe, but alert Bert Anderton batted down his pass in the end zone to insure a Wildcat victory.

Amono those returning were Ed White, who was second high-scorer in the Southern Conference during the 194S- 46 season, and George Peters, who partnered with his brother Tommy in the very successful 1942-43 season. We feel we should state here that Tommy Peters ' name would head our list of all-time great basketball players had not the war cut short his life. Pat Williams, also a member of the ' 42- ' 43 squad, was back, coupled with his younger brother Mike. Freeman Jones and J. D. Ashmore regained their old spots on the Wildcat team. The Cats were also strengthened by some talented newcomers. Among these were Buddy Cheek, a transfer from Tulane, Whit Cobb, Malcolm Earp, Bob Flowers, and Bill Iver- son. Davidson started off with six impressive games, but seemed to lose some of their steam as they went down against the hard-fighting and experienced teams of Duke and North Carolina State. But these losses gave the Cats experience, and in their next ele en games thev won seven and dropped four. As the season drew to a close and the records of the conference teams were studied, it became the general opinion that Davidson must triumph over the highly favored North Carolina University Phantoms, in order to Bob Smoak, lAIniinuer Ed White, furward 3uDDv Cheek.

Led bv Scrappy Buddy Cheek, Ed White, and George Peters, Davidson stood onl ' two points behind the Phantoms at the half- time gun. In the final minutes of the game, Davidson, still fighting bitterly, watched their dreams go up in smoke as Hook Dillon hooked in the winning buckets. The final score stood Da idson 38— LI. N. C. 45. The Cats did not let this smarting loss remain very long on their minds, for in the next few weeks they fought their way over their remaining five opponents. Although the Wildcats did not amass a record to equal that of the ' 42 - ' 43 team, they still showed great promise of becoming a great team. During the year each man and the team as a whole gathered experience which will enable them to move to ' ictory in future years. Watch for the 1948 Fiohtinu Wildcats.

Behind the plate were Buddy Chandler, Red Williams, Skeets Howard, and Don Erb. On first base were Red Bethea, John Ellis, Malcolm Earp, and Wal- ker Taylor.

After weeks of hea y practice, the Wildcats took to the field against Dukes Blue Devils in the Southern Conference opener. Although Da idson Jack Burris Hits For The Circuit WILDCAT Nine Carl Sheppard Left Field playecl a tough game, the hard hitting Blue Devils managed to squeeze out a 13-7 victory. A note of credit goes to Jack Burris, who hit a homer in the 4th inning, and to Carl Sheppard for his spectacu- lar running catch in left field. The Wildcats will play twenty-five games this season, and the schedule will take in such schools as Duke, North Carolina State, University of North Carolina, University of Cincinnati, Fur- man, Washington and Lee, V. M. I., Maryland, and George Washington. Although they probably will not come out undefeated, it ' s a sure bet that they will be fighting with the Wildcat spirit. Coach Jamerson summed it up, in his soft, easygoing man- ner when he said, We ' ll win some, lose some, and have some rained out. (lood luck, Cats!

Although the ' Cats are a little lacking in the dashes and the weights, they make up for it in the other depart- ments. In the hurdles will be found last year ' s point- getters Bob Lacy, Ed Hopper, and George Peters, and returning Ictterman Dick Port. In the quarter-mile, brank Matthews, returning letterman, will couple with Gene Bingham and Bob McGehee. Ihe mile will be ably handled by Castle Koop, who dashed off a 4:43 last year at Iowa State. Bill Iverson and Gunder Grey will fill the two mile department. The ' Cats are putting a lot of stock in Grey, due to his undefeated season last year. In the dashes can be found some new faces— Harry Temple, Lee Willingham, and Rhea Adams, along with point man Monk Montgomery. The half-mile eyent will be held down by two of last year ' s men.

In the pole vault position will be last season ' s regulars George Peters and Dave Walker, along with Ed White, Pete Brown, and Dick O ' llair. Further out on the field will be seen Lennox 1 urnbull, Jim Vann, and Easy Rhodes, who will hurl the discus, and Buddy Chandler, Carl Eborn, and Joe Richards, who will be putting the shot. The javelin will be thrown by a couple of Bills— Bill Robertson and Bill Walker. At the time of writing Davidson has not started their schedule; however, they made a good showing at the Southern Invitational Indoor Games at Chapel Hill. Dick Port came in third in the 70-yard hurdle event not three feet in back of the record breaker, and Bill Lacv placed in the 60-yard dash. We hope we can watch our cindermen run over Furman, South Carolina, Clemson, N. C. State, Wash- ington and Lee, and Mercer.

The team was composed mostly of freshmen with a few upper classmen mixed in. We arc proud of our J. V. team and have high hopes for these men as they take their place on the varsity next year. The Wildkittcns ' game against the Charlotte Center of the LIniversity of North Carolina was by far the most exciting game played on Richard- son Field this year. The scrappy kittens won a see- saw battle with a barrage of three touchdowns in the last quarter. Fred Preyer, playing tackle, saved the day by intercepting a pass and running 35 yards for the winning touchdown.

Cobb and JNIontgomery Receive Track Cup From Coach Shepard Football Action ¥3: ' --J. . - Among The Socials .... Time Dut In the court .... With a horse-shoe shaped fraternity court, it is easy to symbolize this as standin g for good luck. Over among the pines is a very suitable place to meet in chapters with a good luck spoken and brotherhood felt. There are now ten fraternities on campus with the beginning this year of the local Delta Kappa fratcr nitv, petitioning Sigma Chi. All of the chapters seem to be going strong with a good amount of spirit and comradeship. When most of the fraternities had closed their doors after 1943 in order to sit out the war, the old court was black and gloomy and mostly deserted. Back again, in 1946, the lights shining from the windows and the various fraternity shields ablaze, the brothers are increasing their ranks and generally carry- ing on in the fine tradition. The unique arrangement of erv attractive houses, grouped together and following the same plan of architecture, has e en more appealing factors now that things arc awakening on the court. J %K « lW| For Seeking The Ties That Bind All over, there have been paint jobs on the interiors or new furniture and Furnish- ings bought to bring the individual houses up to date. Also in full swing, the Pan-f lell has managed a fine year of dances and other divertissements for everyone ' s pleasure. The dances have been well attended and the large student body has found things as good as ever when it comes to space and bands. Boarding houses have been scare this year, but everyone has managed to get fed if not as ideally as it might be. For the time being, some of the fraternities are crowded because of a return of many brothers. This has been taken care of, however, without any discomfort. The fraternities have rallied to the call for a well established intramural sport set-up, as before, and will have enjoyed the Interfraternity Sing towards the end of school. This latter has been a festival of past vears that was again introduced as an integral part of the Davidson tradition of friendship around the campus. The Council William B.

Embodied in the council is the recognition of the fact thai a strong, properly constituted interfraternitv organization is necessary in order to promote such interfraternitv relationships and to deal with interfraternitv matters. The council, headed by McChesney H. Jeffries, may be justly proud of its fine record this year. The council ' s first duties were the super ision of the rushing season which ran from September 17th to September 21st. I he Pan-Hellenic Council is not limited to one field, for it also acts as sponsor for all the dances of the Da idson College student body. The council made its social debut with the Homecoming dances, which were held No ember first and second in the Charlotte Armory auditorium, with music furnished bv the nationally renowned band of BilK ' Butterfield. The Mid-Winter set, held February seventh and eighth with music bv Dcane 1 ludson, was most successful.

In 1858 Phi Chapter was founded on this campus as the first national fraternity at Davidson College. 1 he C i ' il War killed Phi Chapter as it killed so manv other fraternities. However, after the termination of hostilities the chapter was re-established as Phi Alpha when the Mystic Seven Fraternitv merged with Beta Theta Pi. Seeking to follow the three great principles symbolized by its three stars, Beta Theta Pi has expanded until at the present time its chapters number ninety-one in both the LInited States and Canada.

These six founders had fresh in their minds the memories of the Civil War. 1 heir prohlems were in some measure similar to those of the entire South in its woes of reconstruction. Life at the University at that time was simple and devoid of many of the things now considered collegiate. Friendships were peculiarly warm and ideals were deeply cherished. As one of the founders has stated, They little imagined the tree that would grow from their planting, but they planted well and deep- ly in the subsoil of friendship and idealism. After its founding on March 1, 1868, growth was rapid. The mother chapter took the designation Alpha, and chartered Beta in 1869 at Da ' idson College. From the South, Pi Kappa Alpha spread to the Southwest and Pacific coast. Shortly after the turn of the century, chapters began making their appearance in the East, so that today Pi Kappa Alpha has 80 active chapters distributed through almcjst every state, with a total membership of over 24,000.

The fraternity was incorporated under the laws of the State of South Carolina in 1907. From its birth, Pi Kappa Phi has grown steadily and consistently. It is most pronounced in the South but chapters ha e been established all oyer the United States. Today Pi Kappa Phi is composed of forty-si. undergraduate chapters and t ycntv-se cn chartered alumni groups, with a membership in excess of seven thousand. The chapter at Da ' idson was the first chapter to be established in North Carolina. It was formed in 1912 as Epsilon Chapter.

Expansion during the earlv vears was slow and uncertain; howexer, the earlv perse ' erance to establish chapters in the LInited States has led to a rapid and consistent growth of the fraternity. It is perhaps significant, because of the strength of the fraternity and the care with which chapters ha ' e been placed, to note that but few of its chapters are now inacti e. There are at present 1 10 acti e chapters, which are located in approximately half of the universities and colleges located in the LInited States and Canada which have chapters of national fraternities. Delta was founded at Davidson in 1890, more than half a century ago, and was among the first active chapters in the countrv.

Sigma Phi Epsilon was born on November 1, 1901, on the eampus of Richmond College in Richmond, Viroinia. There were twelve friends who joined together for the sole purpose of friendship and, with their farsighted- ness, founded a fraternity that has now taken its place among the great ones of the fraternity world. The twelve friends founded a group which they called the Saturday Night Club, the program of which was to recruit the best men of the college that they might be more closely bound together. They succeeded finally in the establishment of a new national Greek-letter group. Thus the infant fraternity grew into the strong, powerful organization it is today, enumerating the birth of all its active chapters in every section of the country and of its alumni members in every part of the world. Its growth has been carefully planned and regulated so that today Sig Ep chapters are to be found on the campuses of nearly every important college and university in America. North Carolina Epsilon chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity was founded here at Davidson in 1927, the outgrowth of the old Pyramid Club.

It was decided to unite around an existing organization, known as Delta Kappa, which had been organized by a few students the preceding spring. Out of this meeting came a reorganization of Delta Kappa with twelve members, and steps were taken immediately to increase the membership and to draw up a suitable constitution. Within a few weeks, three new members joined the group and the constitution was ratified with a charter membership of fifteen. By this time it was decided that Sigma Chi would be the fraternity which would be petitioned. With this goal in mind work was begun in earnest. The facultv was then petitioned for permission to function as a local fraternity. With this permission granted and the organization strengthened, the road was then clear for petitioning Sigma Chi.
