The task of compilation has been tedious, but not unpleasant. The completed work is submitted with a plea for lenity from those whose patience will be abused by its many shortcomings. The editors have sought to make an acceptable representation of the life of the College. If the attempt but meets with approval in the eyes of any of those who hold kindly interest in the College, the task will be well rewarded - ..Mu Wk «K .. . r m B T ' L KT r ' - m tf « M|y - ' T : T ' '  Z.P.

Senior Class; i isitorp Now tliat we liave reached the coveted goal, and are about to step out into the arena of life wliere we can no longer depend on our parents but must stand on our own merits, it is emi- nently appropriate that I recall a few of the accomplishments of our college life, so that you may be better able to draw a conclusion as to what will be oiu- success in future years. It Wiis in September, 1913, that we first arrived on the Hill. We were just a little greener, just a little fresher, and a great deal wiser than any of our predecessors. Our wisdom is shown by the fact that we outwitted the Sophomores and perfected our organization without being molested by them, this being the first time in the history of the college that a Freshman class had organized without that unhappy incident. We chose for our president that year R. F. Hall, who led us with rare courage and abiUty, showing plainly that he was worthy of the honor bestowed upon him by his classmates. As Sophomores we organized under the leadership of Sing Lee. We then took up the reins laid down by our immediate predecessors and directed the Newish through the trials and tribulations of that year, not by fear and force, but by kindness and friendship. Of course we kept them in their rooms and permitted them to act as only Newisli slmuld ad, Imt we were able to do it without the aid of the blacking pot and the scissors. When we took up the work of the Jimior year we realized that a little dihgence must needs be exercised lest we be not able to enjoy our Senior year as we ought. Hence, practically all of our conditions were removed during that year. Our success a.s Juniors was in a measure due to the splendid leadership of Fred S. Hutchins. And now, as Seniors, we have been able to a.ssume that modest and dignified air which shows that we fear neither the Committee on Degi-ees nor the possibility of going home with- out a diploma. For a detailed account of our activities this year, I refer you to tlie envious members of the present Junior Class. A history of the Senior cla.ss would be far from complete without a brief review of our general activities in the various phases of college life. Aside from the classroom where our work has been highly commendable, there are the Literary Societies. In that important realm we had more than our proportionate share. Of orators and debaters there are a plenty, as Boyd, Rucker, Edwards, Hughes, Eddins, Stevens, Hayes, Daniels, Carlyle, Reid, and Hester. Probably our greatest success has been won in athletics. In class athletics we have made an honorable record. In basketball and football we have held our own. Our long suit has, however, been in baseball, where we have the unequaled record of having won the cham- pionship every year since we have been in college. On the Varsity teams, members of our class have not been wanting. We have contributed the following W men: football, Harris, Parker and Foreman; basket ball, Franks, Holding, and Carlyle; baseball, Carlyle and Harris. I want to call to mind a few of the incidents that have occurred since we have been here. Kotli the new Dormitory and the Church have been erected since we came. We have seen Iriiniipli in intercollegiate debate: Richmond College has been defeated successively in two dii ible-haireled debates, and at this writing both Baylor University and Randolph-Macon bid fair to meet the same treatment this year. We liave witnessed the distinguished honor which came to oiu ' President through the winning of the Patter.son Memorial Cup. We regret, and yet rejoice, to have scon two of our Deans, Drs. Brewer and Sikes, leave us to assume the presi- dency of other institutions. In athletics we have seen iii.Hiki ' d iinpnivrnirnl. In lill: ' . w .saw thr . . M l..ntl,.all team victorious by .51-0, and in 191(3 we saw the same ti ' am win liy only si. pomts. But by far tlic most amusing incident of our course was the battle waged between A. M. and Wake I ' orest students in Raleigh during our Junior year. Not since the Civil War has a more stubborn fight taken phcp on American soil. Up Fayetteville Street from the Yarborough Hotel to Mere- dith College and return the opposmg forces had it. No better descriptive account of the battle can be found than that give by tlie Raleigh Etening Times: The way those Wake Forest lads charged the Techs would have made Napoleon, Wilhelm, von Hindenburg, Lord Kitchener or even our omi Teddy look like delegates at a peace conference. The above in brief is a record of the activities of the Class of 1917. We have spent four years within the walls of Wake Forest College, and that she has left her impress for good there can be no doubt. Wake Forest, we leave thee now to take up our abode elsewhere. For four years we have been Wake Forest students. For life we will be Wake Forest men. HlSTORI. S. Senior Class; ropfjccp Many :i licart upon our dark globe sighs after many a vanished face. } ' t Projjlacy of Yc Class of 1917, Wake Forest College, comprising Brief Deliite- alimis Depicting Divers Members of Said Class as They May be Beholden in Ye Year of 19S7, being Presently Beholden of ye Prophet by Virtue of ye Gift of Prophecy Vested : In the clioir-ljox of a magnifii- ' cnt Xew York ohurcli, lieforp a vast and attentive congre- gation, stands our old class president, R. K. ' hite. N ' o, lie is not the pastor, nor even the assistant pastor. Soon after leaving college he discovered that his poUtical propensities har- monized not with the ministerial office. Accordi ngly, utilizing his Glee Club training, he became choir-leader of his church, employing that vocation as a means of s ipport and following the avocation of politics as a means of amusement. In the heart of darke-st Africa, on a small clearing in the midst of a tliick jungle — a clearing made for an improvised tennis court — appears C. G. Best, our vice-president, a man of tennis fame. He is in the act of choking a native African, who seems to have been his body-servant, and who took the strings of his tennis racket to make a bow-string and gave the frame to a princess to wear as a neck ornament. On the veranda of a Florida plantation house sits tlic il.iss i«ii ' i, B. M. Boyd. A volume of Blackstone lies on the floor beside his rocker, and in his liand he liolds a dog-eared copy of Walt Whitman, open at Enfans D ' Adani. He sighs anon, and musingly queries: Art or Law? Literature or Politics? Shall I be a great poet or a great orator? On the vast white waste of northern Greenland, following the trail that leads from Uper- navik off in the general direction of the North Pole, a hungry-looking canine team draws a sled heavily laden with volumes of the great works of Shannon. Beside the sled, struggling on cum- brrsome snow-shoes, ambles our well-remembered testator, G. H. Eaddy. He has translated Self-Knowledge into the Esquimo tongue, and is propagating tliat excellent work among the poor, unenUghtened inhabitants of the frozen continent. On a great rostrum of a great auditorium of Chicago, before an uproarious mass of dele- gates to a national Democratic convention, stands the orator of the day, J. B. Rucker. His visage is contorted with the frenzy of his message to the nation, and his.arm.s, responding to the fervor of his appeal, rotate like vanes of a Dutch windmill. The stream of his sesquipedalian utterances is quite out-flooded by the cataract of applause, but it is possible to distinguish the name of L. W. Chappell in juxtaposition with presidential nominee. Out in the wild regions of far western China, toiling up a steep and rocky trail in the mountains of Szechwan, is old J. M. Hester, of pious memory. He encounters a hairy bar- barian, who demands his mission. Jimmie replies, I have traveled, lo! the.se many years in search of an honest man. Can you tell me where he is? The barbarian grins and motions to his companions not to kill the white-skinned intruder; for the witless are held sacred among these barbarians. Sitting in a chair car of a Seaboard train is W. S. Woody. A fellow-traveler inquires of his destination. Petersburg, replies Woody, very nervously twitching his watch fob. Why, don ' t you know Virginia went dry twenty long years ago? his companion rejoins. Well, she didn ' t have to leave on account of that — her father is not a booze-dealer! Elevated upon the summit of a triple-legged stool in a musty and dusty laboratory appears an old friend indeed, E. G. McMillan. Beside him stands his boon companion, T. M. Watson. They take turns peering into a microscope on the laboratory table. After several minutes of careful observation they suddenly jump up, turn a few somersaults, embrace, do a clog dance. and start singing The Boat ' s up the River. It appears that the cause of this jubilee eruption is the discoverj ' of a chemical potion that has the property of temporarily stopping human au- dition without leaving any injurious after-effects. And then I recall that McMillan and Watson roomed next to the Pace brothers while at college, in close proximity to the Pace gramaphone. In the parlo r of a great country home, half hidden in the depths of a great morris chair reclines W. B. Sinclair. A knock at the door. J. B. Edwards enters, and after warm greetings he explains that he is censu-s taker. Accordingly Sinclair enimierates his family: Me and my wife — got us? And then Sue, and Joe, and Ralph, and Frank, and Belle, and Mary, and Tom, and that ' s all at present!

Hauris Historian Junior Class tstorp As we approach the end of our Junior year we look back with pride upon our history as a record of achievement. In many respects our class has been more successful than we might ordinarily have expected. We do not say this with any spirit of boasting. Our deeds speak for themselves. In our class can be found men who take an active part in all phases of college activities. However, the paramotmt feature of our history concerns our endeavors in the way of ath- letics. We have the distinction of holding the class championship in both football and basket ball this year, as well as in the preceding one. In the field of baseball we have not been so successful. Last year, after having humbled the Newish, we in turn suffered defeat at the hands of the Juniors. For three years in succession we have held the title in football, having won in our Freshman year by the failure of the Sophs to appear on the gridiron. When we consider the facts in the case, we think we have good reason for being proud of our two-fold title. For the first time in a number of years, this year ' s Newish cLiss handed the over-anxioiL Sophs a pigskin humiUation, and it remained for our clxss to step in and call the youngsters down. Lula ' assey did the stunt in the third quarter when he ploughed through the line of the would-be champs for the only touchdown of the game. Everybody was happy over our victory with the Newish because the same teams had won out in the basket ball finals and it appeared almost certain that the Fresh would win the title. The jussertion is often made that it does not work too well for first year gentlemen to experience the effects of too much success: and evidently the Junior chiss harbored such ideas. The team, composed of Vann Savage, Hcrndon, Powell, McKnight. and Bktnkenship, furnished the surpri.se of the year by defeating their quintet by a 19 to 13 count. Not only have we contributecl largely to the success of inter-class contests, but the Varsity eleven as well has been materially aided by the ser -ices of Langston, John and Dick Pace, Blankenship, McKnight, OUve, and .Savage. Ellis, Vassey, Leggett, and Hemdon have been our representatives on the diamond and have done goo l work for the team. EUis is captain- ing this year ' s nine and Dick Pace has been chosen to pilot next fall ' s football eleven. While we have been strong physically, we have been no less active in the litenuy world. The names of Odom, Olive, Herring, Martin, and ColUns are well known and frequently heard in the society halls as well iLs on pubUc occisions. A number of o ur class are contributing con- sistently to both of our college publications, MallanI and Hester being the most adept with the pen. There are few students in college more brilli:int than Sugar-Cane (iladney. We have always taken a strong stand on the question of li:izing and cheating on eximina- tions, and have put strong men on the committees in charge of such conduct in an effort to stamp out completely these evils. Members of our clsiss were lil)eral contributors to the original fund for the estabUshment of the new Royster Athletic Fielil. We also pledged a goodly amount our Freshman year to the new Wake Forest Church. All in all, the meml ers of this class possess the bull-dog tenacity of holding on to things until they conquer. The class approves this motto, I ' eni, nidi, tici. Thus, to .s;iy the least, we bid fair to excel any three-year-old anywhere. Hl.STORHX. Junior ClasiSi ropfjecp Since I have not tlie gift of piiipliecy anil skind very little ciianee of finding out the mys- teries and knowledge either of this world or the one containing the fire-works, it follows that I have an innate hesitancy in placing before you this masterpiece of English, both from a pro- phetic and literary standpoint. I assiu ' e you that I shall treat the subject fairly and make no discriminations, although nothing could be more natural than mistakes, for every star-gazer, no matter how experienced he may be, necessarily goes wTong sixty-nine and fifteen-sixteenths of the time. And as for me, serving in this honorable and time-honored capacity, I can hardly WTite, think, or see, so great is my nervousness in writing this paragon of prophecies which will go down through the ages as the marvel of the twentieth century. You have heard that the best fortune tellers consult books night after night in order to give an account of the events to come, but I cannot believe in this method. In fact, according to my conception, no work is required at all; a warm room, drowsy feeling, and full slouinili are the main essentials. So, having these qualifications last night, I lay back and wli(ill re- laxed, while the first cousin of Morpheus came with his long saffron wand and pricked iiir iiilo that nameless condition sweet as the perfumed waters of the river which flows through the valley of Utopia. Around me crowded myriads of beautiful fairies, whisking their opalescent robes in the dim moonlight and singing ditties to each little star that showed its twinkling eye in the azure firmament. As in every other part of the fairy countiy, a king came forward and olTered to let me see anything which I wished. Immediafely I asked concerning the future of niy Id si ' hoolmates and was told to look into the clear pool of water by my side. Accordingly, I gazed into the depths, and as the ripples i anic still. 1 helirld a lar e fur- niture factory. Wondering wh.at might be the significance of this, I lijukrd cl.i-, r, :nid belmld! a fine office in the building opened to my view. Seated at the large nKili.. ;in dr-k I bi-licOil a .short, stout man whose face .seemed .strangely familiar, although wriiikliil .uid cii-imiI hy (lie passing years. My old friend and classmate, (llenn Muse, now a iimsperous mauufaituriT ami wealthy philanthropist, sat before me. Delighted at his success and wishing to see if others had shared his luck, I looked again, and another scene was brought to my view. This time I saw an altar, bedecked w-ith flowers; in front stood a happy couple. Having scrutinized theu- faces and found them utter strangers, I directed my gaze at him who was performing the ceremony. Wonder of wonders! Potilla Savage was putting the question, Do you take this woman for your lawful wife? Greatly surprised at this occurrence, I asked the faii-y king what might be the fate of our medical students, Sam Thompson and Carey Harris. Look, he rejilied, and again I turned my eyes to the pool. In the operating room of an airy hospital I beheld these two men, but changed to an ahnost tmrecognizable extent, for both wore short-clip]ieil beards. Having be- come the greatest specialists of llieir day. tliey were enRaged in tlii ' ditficull nper.-ition of graft- ing a brain. Upon looking om-c utorc, I belield Earl Ihuiirick who litid not chaiigc-.l jiuK ' li, but into whose eyes had come a look of shrewdness ctuised by niany years ' experience in the manufac- ture and sale of Hamrick motor cars. A law office next {■laiiiicd my at tent ion sincr in it w;is an active man whose fame as a cor- poration lawyer had .sprr.id ,, ,r all the ciHinliy. Of untiring energy, Durham Moore had worked himself up froiu Ihi- f,,nt ..f iIm ' ladder i,i tin ' dizzy height which he now occupied. As the s(,lver of huge liiiaricial [.mblctiis he was without an equal, and his oHice was tlii ' rendezvous p.Tple I wonder if Dick Pace is still living, I said to myself, and immediately the scene changed to a square room with blackboards on the walls. A class in Latin was ready for examination and a httle bright-eyed, bald-headed man, whom I finally recognized as Dick, was considering how hard to make the quiz. The scenes now shifted at a bewildering rate, showing Shelby Meek at the head of an oil corporation in Texas; Bob Mallard as etiitor of the . ic York Times; Jock Olive as legal adviser to the Cunard Steamship Company; Furman Biggs nmning a munition factorj ' ; and Jack Franklin as proprietor of the Astor Hotel. Suddenly the views were blotted out. notwithstanding my desire to learn about all of my classmates. The pool was as dark as a black mantle; 1 dropped into a peaceful slumber, and awoke in the morning with a clear head and a desire to ttll you your futures. Prophet.

Poet. opfjoinore Class ||istorj) The history of the illustrious Sophomore class Ijcgins in September, 1915, when, as New- ish, one hundred and seventy-five strong, we first set our feet on Wake Forest soil. The remem- brance of this time cannot be obliterated from our minds. We first came marching up the campus in a dignified manner, but after hearing the shrill cries of the Sophs the first night, we decided to be a meek and lowly herd. In due course of time, September, 1916, saw us burst forth from the ties of bondage and flap our wings in the elevated sophomorical air. After taking an inventory of our flock, we found that only about half had returned to the fold, the other half being gone, we knew not where. Althougli about half the number arc missing, we still possess men who, we believe, will make a mark on life ' s pages, who will be the leaders in the communities in which they reside, and will be among Wake Forest ' s most honored sons. As Sophomores, we have not accomplished as much in inter-class athletics as some of the previous classes. This year we succumbed to defeat twice at the hands of the Freshmen. In football they accidentally scored one touchdown on us. However, this does not reflect on the strength of the Sophomore team, for the Freslunen luul an unusually strong team, being com- posed almost completely of high school stars. In basket ball we undcnvent defeat again. I have pictured only the dark side of inter-class athletics. In the inter-class track meet. Society Day, the Sopliomores won a decisive victory over the other clas-ses. Our cla-ss won 48 points out of 100, thereliy leaving only .52 points for the other three classes. The Varsity football team was greatly strengthened by the addition of Shaw and Croom. Shaw has pbiyed on the first team for two years. Croom entered football circles this year, played in every game, and so won his W. Oiu ' achievements in athletics have not been so great, but wc have made up for this in other fields of endeavor. We have been well represented in litcrarj ' activities. Several of our members arc regular contributors to The Student. The art editors of The Howler are from the Sophomore class. In tlic Society Day debate, Odom and Spurling delivered excellent speeches, reflecting credit upon them.selves and upon their class. Besides, in the daily routine of academic work otir class has made an enviable record. In tliis brief historj- there is too little space to enumerate the deeds, redeeming qualities, and general characteristics of this class. Most undoubtedly the Sophomores are very important, for it is they the faculty and senators spend much time conversing about. We also have a di- rect bearing on the Freshman, for it is our cla,ss, and not the Senate Committee, that is .so inter- ested in the Newish that we keep them in their holes after dark and prohibit them from being so conspicuous in public places. So be it. We are glad that we were Freshmen and gladder that we are Sophomores. Wc believe we have contributetl our part towards making 1910-17 the best year of Wake Forest, and whatever we have contributed, wc have done it freely and wiUingly. HiSTOHIAN. opfjomore Clasis; Propfjecp No, I did not fall asleep in Johnson Street Station and di-eani a dream, nor did a gnome or nymph draw back the curtain of the future for me, nor did I borrow the inflamed eyes of one Bacchus wherewith to peer into Days Coming, nor did I drink a potion from the mystic phial. I merely said to myself, I must write a prophecy of the Sophomore Class, and sat down with my patient and long-suffering pencil in hand. To the pencil I whispered the magic word: Zony! Tell me about Zony! Alas, poor Yoriek! The pencil ' s patience and long-suffering expired, and it leapt from my grasp. I recaptured it, and in a more coaxing tone repeated the magic starter. This time the pencil, enraged, delivered itself of a rearward kick at my hand, and by virtue thereof broke it- r:vh-ti li.ic.f: tln-n, distractivlly. it ran to tlie window and com- mitted suicide upon the cruel -Iium- l,rl,, v Sparing tears for this l i , 1 .jiitK.usly :ip|iroarlicd my old iclial)le fountain pen. gripped it firmly, and whispered softly into one of its ears; Zony!

I groaned, and cast the wicked thing from me. Then my eyes fell upon one of tliose literary generators of tlie twentietli ceutuiy— tlie modem fuss-factory, vacuum-voraiter, bull-begetter — a typewriter. All! said 1 to myself, this insensate, yet marvelously productive contraption can but yield to me! Nevertheless, I made gentle advances towards it. I spoke kindly, beguiled it with a promise of a new ribbon to wear if it would not be naughty, and then induced it into a hilarious state of intoxication with Uberal libations of Three-in-One oil; and, capping my wheedling with a vague hint at dire vengeance to requite any misbehavior, I gave the magic word: Zony! What do you know about Zony? Scarce had I spoken thus, when I became aware of my gross error in mischoosing the magic word. In an instant I opened my mouth to make correction, hut not before I observed indications of consternation and tumult in the poor dumb machine: Pardon, Pardon! I meant Warren — RoUiii Wtirren — tell me about him! Blessed calm after storm! The type- wTiter rappetl away glii)ly. Here is what it revealed to me: A k ' mptst-riddcn sta.

The present staff of officers were elected, as the fruit of some memorable campaigning. Miss Mac PickeLsimer of Meredith Col- lege was chosen as Sponsor. Our cla-ss histor ' Ls yet short— just at its beginning, in fact— but it is long enough to in- clude a record of high atiiletic distinctions. Our first class game was the usual Freshman- Sophomore football match. It was a hard-fought battle, and resulted in our victory by a score of (} to 0. We have the distinction of being the first Freshman class in the history of the College to defeat the Sophomores in football. Not satisfied with this single victory, we went on to win over the Sophomores in basket ball. The game resulted in the oven helming score of 27 to 12. Two members of our team, McGuire and Hanby, took places on the all-class basketball team. In the Society Day Inter- class Track Meet our eUiss came out jis second highest point winner, making only five points less than the victorious class. The highest individual point winner was Duncan, a member of our class. In Varsity athletics we have been just as prominent as in class athletics. To the ■arsity football team we contributed two Unemen, Blizzard and Coble, and one backfield man, Cham- pion, all of whom distinguished themselves by their fine game. On the Varsity tennis team we are represented by Folk, who shares with his Senior partner the honors of several victories in intercoUegiate matches. At present we cannot .-iay what pan we «-ill have in the Varsity bas- ket ball and bjuseball teams. But everj- indication is that Hanby n-ill be one of the basket ball quint; ami there is no rea.son why we should not find representation on the baseball nine. In emphasizing our athletic record we arc only ri-porting a part of our history. The mem- bership of our class includes men of high schoUu-ly ability and forensic talent, although as yet no opportunity has been prcsente l for them to win public dUtinction. So for the present we pass over that portion of our histor - with no comment, except for a word of assurance that in the coming three years of our college career we will endeavor to put ourselves at the top of the ladder in all phases of the college ' s activities. HlSTORHX. Jfresifjman Class ropljecp Xot until after the clouds of the election had cleared away and the secretary had officially announced the result of the balloting, did I realize what a great burden had been imposed upon me. I was not a prophet nor have I ever been guilty of prophesying, and on investigation I found that none of my ancestors had ever possessed such admirable quaUties. I was in a bad predicament, and I did not know what to do. Many times I wished the burden of prophesying had gone to .some one else who was in communication with some of the familiar spirits. Weeks passed and I had done nothing. It was hard for me to realize what a great re- sponsibility lay upon my unprophetic mind. I soon decided that, inasmuch as 1 was no prophet myself, if I were to succeed I must have help. Futile were my efforts with the faculty and members of the student body. Finally, in despair, I appealed to the prophets of the other cla.sscs. They all refused and turned me away with a .sophomorical command: Go your route, Newish: we care nuthinti jilniiit your future Feeling somewhat humiUated, I decided to take a Unin hike inln llir luuntry witli llie rxpecfation of finding some solution to my problem. The day was an ideal one for walking, and in a few hours I was many miles from the Hill. As I walked along, musing and wondering what would become of my classmates, my attention was attracted and I came to a sudden pause. Directly at my right in the edge of the woods stood a number of covered w ' agons. On close observation I discovered that it was a gypsy train. At last I had found a way, and I hurriedly entered the gypsy tent. After I had related my troubles to the gypsy girl, she gladly consented to give me the desired information. I could not recall all my classmates, but I gave her a Ust of names I re- membered. She examined the list carefully, and after some deliberation, read out the follow- ing prophecies: Jarvis, after graduating froiii ' ake Forc- l . will pursue his studies at the University of Mrginia. He will be head of the cily schools of ForcstviUe. Yearby. thinking that the salary of his country church is too small, will decide to go West. He will settle in I ' tah. Soon afterwards he will become so entangled in the Mormon matri- monial doctrine that he will leave his own church, and will proceed to demon.strate his won- derful executive ability by the way he controls his many mothers-in-law. Earp will develop into one of the best sharpshooters in the United States Army. He will win numerous prizes. His training and practice while a Newish at Wake Forest will proN-e to have done much to produce such a liigh degree of efficiency in marksmanship. Beachboard, after leaving College, will be continuously running for office. He will run for every office from United States Senator down to town coiistalile. He will finally be elected as a member of the Legislature from Huiicunilic I ' nunly. :uiil will try to persuade that august body to take a stand on World Peace. West — poor fellow — will disappoint his classuKii rs riy murli by his rash deed. He had an exceeding bright future and the news of his untiniilx cl.iiih will come as a severe shock to the entire cmmtry. He always loved the girls, and soon aflii ' i - li:nc s college will liecome so in- fat iati ' d with a member of the fair sex that when she refuses to rii:irry liini, he will cnuiiit suicide by tying a rock around his neck and jumping into a pond. W. McKinley Edwards suddenly left college during his Freshman year, and soon after- wards he will gain much notoriety as a pugiUst. Years later when he can get no one to fight with him, he will enlist in the United States Army and be sent to Mexico to fight the greasers. He will slay more than a .score single-handed and will be rewarded by Congi ' ess for his bravery. He received his inspiration and training while he was a Freshman at Wake Forest. She had finished. I arose, tossed her a coin and withdrew from the tent. Prophet. Miss Luis Millek Sponsor TEACHERS CLASS Ecatfjers! Class ©ffitcrs; H. H. Hamilton President 11. Hooper Vice-Presideut H. T.

Precedent makes imperative this brief record. This college class has not differed from its pedagogical predecessors, and this historical resume will be similar to those thai have gone before. The influence of former classes has been evident- The mantles of Mull. Lovelace, Jones and Fleet Willi ams have fallen upon Kddins, Hooper, Baldy, and Boyd, respectively. Mere- dith and Oxford persist in giving receptions, the Perils of Pauline grow more hazardous, the Shoo Fly must be met, and the same freights go toward the State ' s metropolis — and the Grand. The various college activities have received our unqualified cooperation. The brawn and muscle of our class, as usual, have excelled on the diamond, the gridiron, the track, and the floor. The Ministerial, Law. and Medical classes, each in turn, have suffered defeat at our hands. Carlyle, Foreman, Humber, Spaugh, and Thompson are numbered among the Wear- ers of the W. The Scrub Faculty, The Hotcler staff, and the editors of The Stutient, and of OUi Gold and Black are, for the most part, members t f the Teachers ' class. Carlyle gra iuates witli highest honors. Britton has recently passe | the Hho les Scholarship examination, and will probably l e appoint nl to a scholarship at Oxford. A majority of the society honors have de- scrve lly gone to meml ers of this class; for are not Bunn, Baird, and Paul Sykes embrj ' onic W. F. ' s ? In the pursuance of our work, we have branched off into the various forms of activities best adapted to our individual differences. Humber has indulged in Latin. Bivens found Ger- man papers a deUght. Baldy has persevered in Economics, Xewton still quotes early . merican Histor ' , and Rucker. Washburn, Edwards, and Arle lge find mutual consolation in discussing problems of varjing interest with Chappell. Hughes, Deitrick, and McCann. Politics has afforded the same pleasures that former classes appreciated. Classwork fol- lowwl the same routine. No one will forget. I b to remind you. gentlemen. Go out, wag your long ears and eat grass, Take a dynamic attitude and word it sharply. Great hunks of green cheese and baUs of blue fire, and even Mephisto and Bad Eye afford a linger- ing dream of maximum sublimity. Happy is that people whoso annals are brief. Our historj is peculiarly short. It will end and iiegin when we graduate with Summa cum Laude, Magna cum Laude, Cum Laude, and Xutla mm htu.lr. Historian. The autumn sky was clear and the moon was full; the sun had fled and securely hid itself behind the hazy western horizon; the tropical winds filled with autumn ' s fragrance sighed soft and low. The train was traveUng at a terrific speed across the viaduct that connects together the Florida Keys. Indeed, I was enjoying the beauties of the things that be. But the fairest day has its cloud. A thought of the horrors that would accompany a wreck at this particular point fJashed across my mind and simultaneously, almost, the flyer jumped the track. I felt myself falling, falling. A beautifid maiden sat beside me, and even if I am never embraced again under more decorous circumstances, I shall never forget that momentous pleasure.

But I shall conhne myself here to that which relates tu my duty as pi ' ophet of the Teachers ' class and to those things which transpired prior to the year 1943. If any one cares to know the future in its entirety, he may become informed by consulting me personally. I shall consider myself in writing this prophecy to be hving in the year 1944. Standing out preeminently in the foregro und of the civic life of the State are C. F ' . Spaugh and A. C. Reid. After leaving college they devoted their boundless energy toward the allevi- ation of such unsatisfactory social conditions as then existed throughout the State. Their efforts have been crowned with success. Reid was elected Governor at the age of 32, and with Spaiigh ' s advice and counsel instituted various reform measures that have rendered his name a synonym for progressiveness. H. H. Hamilton and Red Milton are teaching in the iiitih school at (iKirlottc They are both single still, without any prospects of matrimony. Hooper is teaching in the high school of his own home town. He is a very able teacher and a gi ' eat advocate of Wake Forest College. He has sent many students to his Alma Mater from the Kmpire State, who erroneously beheved that Hooper ' s genius was not innate but ac- quired at Wake Forest College. Buckner has set at naught the proverb that there is no royal road to learning, for he has learned to correlate electricity with the acquisition of knowledge. He has invented a very simple electrical device which when attached to the pupil ' s !)rain and then joined to that of the instructor, makes the sensation of reading Vergil.

It is not the pm-pose of this paper to give a com- plete historj ' of the Medical class. Space forbids this, even if it were our wish. Our purpose is to enumerate in a few words a few of the things that make this one of the greatest classes since the department which we repre-scnt became a part of the college. As a cla.ss we first became a unit when we undertook the study of osteology under Dr. Smith in the fall of 1915. No one can imagine tile toil and worry that wius our lot during that year. Obstacle after obstacle piled up before us, yet we struggled on and finally came out victorious. The fact that the face of the medical student is seen in and around the Alumni building the greater part of every six days would lead one to think our interest and activities were cen- tered in one sphere. But such is not the mse. There is no cla.ss in the college that has a greater diversity of interest and activities than the Medical cla.ss. And it is a matter of interest that our men are holding their on-n in all the different plia.ses of college Ufe which they have entered. I cite a few instances. Is it a reflection to have Booe, the president of the Senior class of ' 16, in our class? And there is Humber, chairman of the Honor Committee, and Perr ' , baseball manager of 1916, with Watson, Jones, and Harris on the Senate Committee. There is also Billings, an ex-varsity star and now coach of biiscball and football, and Howell, assistant coach of football. There are many other examples which might be cited, but space forbids. I[i the field of research we have not been found lacking. McMillan has finally succeeded in isolating an organism, the StaphlococciLs Eitilthenorsenthisus, which he says is responsible for John Hunter ' s laziness. Craig Jones and Sharky Ray claim to have discovered a process by which one can learn without studying. Dr. Carstarphen, however, has not yet put it to the test. The hardest of all tasks has, however, been assumed by Booth, Foster, Hobgood, Perrj-, Way, and Woody, namely, that of trying to discover a drug by which Booe will be rendered calm and serene in the presence of the Professor of Anatomy. And lastly, that ever-essential piece of protoplasm aggregated in the production of the Circle of Willis is working to unravel the cau.se of abnormalities. Our days at Wake Porest arc about over and we look back with pride on our achievements, as a whole. Ours is the class of which Dr. Smith said that it Wiis ten per cent better than any he had ever had. We have stood together as one, and becau.se of this fact we have accomplished many things, most notable of which was the getting out of gym. in our Junior year. But we now leave Wake Forest to pursue our studies at another institution. Our greatest wish is that all the Pain-Killers (Augmentors) that follow us here may be .as great in achieve- ment and obedience as their predecessors of the Class of 1917. Historian. While looking over my mail the morning of May 25, 1H31, I opened a letter from Dean G. M. Billings of the Wake Forest Medical School, informing me that I had been appointed at the annual meeting of the Board of Tru.stee.s to solicit subscriptions for a quarter of a million dollars for endowment for the school. After formally accepting the appointment, I called on Drs. Russell Perry and L. H. Hob- good, who. after discussing ol l college days, helped me plan an extensive campaign. It was decided that the Class of ' 17, having proven tlie most successful class, should cnntriliiitc one half of the propo.sed amount. The expense of the campaign was to be paid by Dr. J. Grady Booe, of Cana, X. ( ' ., now a thriving city. The addresses of all the alumni of ' 17 were easily secured, except that of Dr. Way, who had magically disappeared. Every alumnus in the C ' arohnas and Georgia responded gener- ously, but no large subscriptions were secured till I reached Jacksonville, Fla. Here I called on Dr. H. H. Foster, Genito-urinary specialist of wide fame. At the hotel that night I foimd Drs. E. G. McMillan and T. M. Watson, who had come down from their private sanitarium at Asheville, to play golf at the Rockefeller golf links. 1 learned that they were having great success treating tuberculosis with their new cure. At Birmingham Dr. John D. Humber received me kindly. He was exceedingly busy with his eye, ear, nose, and throat practice, having just returned from ' Valparaiso, Ind., where he had been for three months taking treatment from the President of Valparaiso University, Dr. W. S. Woody, eye .specialist of national reputation. At St. Louis I had hoped to spend some time with Dr. J. S. Brewer, head of the St. Louis General Hospital, but learned that he was away at the Republican National Convention, of which he was chairman, then in session at Chicago. I then started for the office of Dr. Craig Jones, City Physician, where, to my surprise, I found Dr. F. L. Ray, of Mexico City. There he had gained a fortune treating tuberculosis. They informed me that Dr. J. P. Hunter, State Medical Commissioner of Mis.souri, was in the city for that day. Dr. W. M. Strickland was forced by ill health to give up his extensive practice in Mont- real, Canada. He then turned his attention to singing and, as he was scheduled to perform at the Academy of Music that night, I went out and heard him with pleasure. With the full amount subscribed, I returned to Wake Forest. There I found a letter from Maj. J. E. Howell, Surgeon of the U. S. Army, then coaching the Army football team at West Point. Thus ended the successful campaign among the most prosperous class of the Wake Forest Medical School. Prophet. Miss Ida Dr.sL.U Sponsor MINISTERIAL CLASS iWinisterial €la i 0Uittvi J. M.

There are at present seventy-sLx members in the elass. The elass ineludes all students who are preparing themselves for work as pastors at home, as foreign missionaries or as medical mis- sionaries. The class meets regularly on Wednesday afternoon of each week. Dr. Cullom, Professor of Bible in the College, conducts this cbiss which is devoted to the study and duscussion of the various phases of the minister ' .s work. In addition to the valuable work of Dr. Cullom, we also have the privilege of hearing lectures from the other members of the faculty, as well as from other notwl lecturers and Bibhcal scholars who may be visiting the institution. The activities that characterize the cUuss uie many and varied. Our men may be found in ever ' honorable phxse of college life. In athletics our class regularly furnishes men for the football, basket ball, bjiseball, an l track teams. In the classroom their work is fully up to the average. In forensic and literarj- activities the Ministerial class has made an enviable record. In ever ' literary society celebration and in everj ' intercollegiate contest, whether in debate or in oratory, our men carrj ' off their share of the honors. Neither is our class wanting in literarj- talent, as a glance at The SlwUtil or OI l (IM niut BInck will show. The present Ministerial class has played a worthy pjirt in making the session of 1916-1917 so successful. IIlSTORI.lX. ilinisiterial Class ropfjecp We have a group of individuals known as prophets, who come into that office l)y two methods: fu ' st, by the doctrine of election; and second, by divine call and guidance. Propliets of tlie second type are men like Jeremiah, Isaiah, Amos, Hosea, and Ezekiel. Those men lirippliesii ' d by telhng the people of their times events that would certainly follow. They did not resort to dreams and various and sundi-y trips, nor did they depend on mysterious per- .sonages. Now, I am a prophet that comes under the first type. Prophets of this class gener- ally resort to various and sundry ways of prophesying, such as named above. On the con- trary, I am simply going to assume the role of a prophet tonight and inform my fellow minis- terial students of the Class of ' 17 what tlie future liolds in store for them. The following men, J. J. BalUud, J. P. Crouch, G. Ear]), Emory, and C. Glossom, after the completion of the fall work of then ' fir.st year, left college, never to return. The first two will labor in the Master ' s cause in theu- respective home towns. Tlie rest will try to imitate Sam Jones in their evangelistic services, but will fail ignominiously- Elam and Gillespie will obtain a place of promincnrp as n;rrat tlieoloKians. R. J.

Baltimore, Washington, and Chicago will each be benefited by the Class of ' 17, J. M. Hester, Hicks, and D. E. Hill being slated for pastorates in each of these cities. Hm-st will become Hester ' s able assistant. R. W. James and J. S. Johnson will work one year each as Hicks ' and Hill ' s assistants, respectively, but will eventually give the work up and betake themselves to the farm. J. B. Davis and Colsi.m will work as colporteurs in West ' irBinia. Carswell will follow the same trade in California. Canipe will work during ihr simunrr as an rvaiiKrlisI in Xorth Carnlina, but during the winter months he will teach si ' lionl. lb- will fiillow this up lor a period of fifteen years after finishing college.

Both met their future wives on Society Day of their first year. They proved good helpmates, too. R. K. White will become head of the Department of Bible in ' offord College. Now I come to my good old friend, Woodward. He will finally find the Book of Con- solation in which he will see that he is best fitted for coaching volley ball. He will apply for a position as coach of volley ball in Yale and will be acee]iled. He will serve his country well as a good, first-i ' hiss corirll.

Miss Sahah Fkllers baseball team Wake Forest closed the 1916 baseball season with a record of nine games won, eight lost, and one tied, giving an average above the .500 mark. Of the eight defeats sustained by the team, only five were administered by college nines, three of the defeats being at the hands of league teams. The most signal achievement of the season was the taking of the entire series of three games from the University of North Carolina. Elon College was defeated twice, and the re- maining four victories were won over University of South Carolina, Guilford, Richmond Col- lege, and Liberty Piedmont Institute. Davidson was the only team to defeat the Baptists twice, while Trinity won one and tied the second game. Cuilford annexed one victory, while the remaining three reverses were met with the three followinj; league teams: Rocky Mount, Durham, and Winston-Salem. The season as a whole was considered successful and mucli of the credit for the showing made by the Baptists ' nine is attributed to Coach Billings. The Baptists ' coach was con- fronted with a scarcity of material in several departments from the very beginning of the season. It wa,s not long, however, before he had gathered a favorable nine together and the Wake Forest aggregation was looked upon as a worthy opponent of any nine in the State.

The zeal of a few tennis enthusiasts has communicated itself in a large measure to the entire student Ijody. As a result several intercollegiate raatclies were played, a tennis club has been organizi ' .i. ii.w .cmiis huilts and old ones improved. Letters were awarded this year in tennis as in olhri- liiiiinlir- of athletics. Thr siiccrNs . .f Wake Forest in the matches played tliis year is due to the abiUty of Messrs. Best and Folk, wlio compose the team, and also to tlic expert coaching they have received from Bursar Earnshaw and Professor H. M. Poteat. At Elon College, October 21, Best and Folk defeated tlie Elon College Tennis Team in an exciting match. Two sets of doubles were first played. Wake Forest winning by scores of 6-2, 6-3. In the singles Best took on Captain Hardcastle for three hard fought sets, resulting in two victories and one defeat for Wake Forest with scores of 6-2, 2-6, and 8-6. In the third set of singles Best performed a remarkable feat by pulling liimself out of an almost fatal hole, winning the set that at one time .stood 5-love, 40-love against him, the Elon captain needing only one point to win. Wake Forest has also defeated Randolph-Macon in several matches, as follows: singles — 6-3, 7-5; 6-1, and 6-0; in doubles— 6-4, 6-2. At this writing several matches are yet to be played and at the present pace it is safe to predict that the season will end most successfully. Without a doubt it seems certain that tennis has come to sta - and tlial in this, as in all other brandies of athletics. Wake Forest will hold her own. Class Cfjampions JlNKIK FunTHALI.

College politics 1 was lying (in ih,. ranipus Beneath the shadow of the oaks, Amid the bahny atmosphere. Unmindful lioth of Ijooks and folks: Except one pleasant thought of Kate, Whose image still I plainly see And who in fancy sat near by And chatted joyously with me. But this sweet fancy soon was broke By some intruder hunting pie. Hello, Old Chap! ' ' he friendly spoke. Then told his tale and pa.ssed on by. Another came in quick pursuit, Look here, old boy, I ' m hunting you; I ' m out in politics this year And wi.sh you ' d help to put me tliniunh. I ' m telling only just a few. And you of com-se are one of these; The strongest influential men Elect ' most any one they please. When I at last wa,s left alone To revel with my thoughts once more, I wondered if I could repeat Those splendid thoughts I had before. Within an instant ' most, it seems, 1 fled to some strange fairy land. W linv there we strolled through .- hady i . iiil I held Katie by the hand. The birds were singing in the trees ; The crickets chirped among the liriish; A sqiurrel chattered on a limb; And Katii- li tenins. whispered, ' ■llu.-.h! ' Hell,,.

Old Hoy I liavrn ' t licani a wi.nl Irniii you, With anger kindling. 1 replied; Curse politics, and curse you too. Some half a dozen men came up To see what now I had to say ; Full five feet four I raised my height, And then proceeded on my way. 188 Throughout the year you ' ve had a chance To show the men what you can do. You ' ve nothing done that ' s worth the w)iile. , nd now you ask to he helped through. You ' numerate the things you ' ve done; The favors you have always shown ; The sad truth is, you must tell this. If these, your facts, are ever known. But let me tell you once for all; My vote U never won by begging; If 3 ou have proved yourself the man, You ' ve got my vote without this iegging. ' The man who votes for some good friend And disregards the work to do, Not only injures all concerned. But plainly shows himself untrue. The men who pnjmbse you their votes Because ' twas you to them first came, .Show lack of principle or thought. To let you canvass on their name. While I was pausing for a breath Each man dropped out and slunk away; The line of dope I had for them Was rather strong to hear mc say. But now as all was up with me. Reluctantly 1 started on ; For it was useless then to stay With revVie broke, and Katie gone. I walked along and saw Jack P ' r , Who sauntered up and said, Old Scout, I ' ve entered politics this year And would l e glad you ' d help me out. I was both mad and tickled too, To hear why he so wishe ! the place; My friends have urged me to come out And now I mean to make the race. This might go on for pages yet, But hero ' s my final admonition; In planning out your college course, Don ' t pbn to be a politician. W. B. SUVCUMR.

Indeed, Eaddy lias more ingenuity than we are wont to attribute to him. White: Yes, he has, — that spizzerinctum. Good for him! Enter Eaddy. a Professor, and Chauffeur, in a Font automobile. Baldy (aside): This addition gives us the lead! Eaddy: Hello, fellows, we — we — 1 — I ' m winning the cause! [To the Professor] It ' s going through — it ' s going through, don ' t you think .«o? You make a majority on our side, and that Carroll, he — he can ' t come — he ain ' t coming. He ' s sorter — er — sick, you know. Exit Professor into the Preisidenl ' s Office.

I ' ll leave on the Shoo- Fly and go to the movies with my girl tonight! Baldy: At length, Mr. Eaddy, by a brilliant exercise of ingenuity in a crucial lioiu-, you have abundantly atoned for all your previoius bones. You are the hero of the hour, sir! Eaddy: Oh well, all it takes is some — some — some spizzerinctum, that ' s all. I knew I could do it. But I worked so hard and ate so little breakfast that I feel — er — sorter bad. just a bit — empty stomach, I guess. But I don ' t mind that. We — we — I — I won the cause all right, so I should worry how I feel. Say— say— say, I wonder how old Dean Carroll is feeling now? White: We ought to appoint a conmiittee to go and sympathize with him, oughtn ' t we? Colston: Looker here, what ' s tliis a-coming? Enter Carroll. Baldy (aside: What apparition is this? Colston (aside): It ' s that doggoned Newish, Dean Carroll! White (aside): Let ' s cut his red wool and black him! 197 Carroll: Clood morning, gentlemen.

Perhaps some miraculous — Eaddy: Oh — oh my — oh me — oh mamma look — look — look out — The poisoned egg returns to the scene, ma Eaddy, bringing trith it reinforcements. Kadby falls to the ground.

Baldy: Mr. Eaddy, what ails you? Eaddy: I ' m — I ' m dead — I ' m — I ' m dying, I know I am! Please somebody telegraph my girl — her address is Poker Crossing, S. C. — and tell Iht that I departed with my name on her lips and a vision of her in my heart and a — Chauffeur: Here, Mr. Eaddy, before you die, I want you to settle for — Eaddy: Oh I am undone! I ' m so sick, fellows! Make it up please, and pay for the auto — the big fine auto-automobile. I ' ll — I ' ll try to give a dime, for — for the cause! Colston: The faculty meeting is over! Eaddy: Oh my — oh my, is it? What — what — what hajjpfned? Is the cause lost? White: Yes, it failed; tough luck. Chauffeur (to Eaddy): The bill is three dolhu-s— Eaddy: The bill? Oh — er — er — oh me— I ' m gone — I ' m gone! Take tiie liill out of my estate! But the vote, — how did it go? Bnldy: Quite a ' surprising reverse, Mr. Eaddy. Tliere was only one vote cast in favor of granting the petition. Eaddy: Oh — oh my stomach! It — it — it ain ' t right — it ain ' t! Who was the faithful one? Baldy: He calm, Mr. Eaddy, do not agitate yourself. The faithful one was Dean Carroll. Exeunt all save Carraway, some bearing Eaddy. Carrairay: Ladies and gentlemen. I will now add to the beauty of tiie epilogue tlie charm of my voice.
