WIFE OF SAMUEL WAIT In spirit, as in labor and sacrifice, one ivith her husband. (J75 ORN in Sharon. Massachusetts. 1794: of sturdy and cA-J cultured New England families, her father being Deacon Jonathan N4erriam and her mother Sarah Conant; inspirer. encouragcr and helper of her husband in his strug- gles to get an education: gracious young housewife, en- tertaining General Lafayette in her Washington home; heroic fellow missionary with her husband in his work as General Agent, taking her little daughter and making her home with him in a jersey wagon, zigzagging for three years across the State from seashore to mountains: sharing with her husband the toil necessary to set the new institution at Wake Forest going, often laying her hands to the lowliest tasks, the serving of tables and the weav- ing of mattresses allotted members: and made the first banners of the Literary Societies and publicly presented them at the Fourth of July celebration at the Institute in 1835: the first woman in the history of the College, first in time and first in extent and character of her sacrifices and services: she died in 1871. Her husband is knoivn in the gates, where he sitteth among the elders of the land. Since the art theme of THE HowLER is a historical resume of the College from its foundation to the present, the Staff is very fortunate in having secured as Sponsor Miss Elizabeth Courtney Lumpkin, great-great-grand- daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Samuel Wait. H JUST ninety-three years ago. in the spring of 1834, a northern corre- spondent wrote to a religious journal a gloomy letter of facts regard- ing the moral condition of orth Carolina. One thing he found was hopeful: They have kindled, says he, a light in the Wake Forest Institute that 1 know will shed its beams over the whole State. That was the lesser Wake Forest; the greater Wake Forest is dimly visualized for the future; but between these covers is mirrored the Wake Forest of today, a testimony, that the prophecy has been fulfilled. Thou hast like a rock-built refuge stood Above the blind and battling multitude. ' ' A little U ' arninij is u dangerous thing: Drink deep or taste not of the Pierian spring. And here declining manhood learns to note the sly And sure encroachments of infirmity. ' Majestic casements opening on the foam Of perilous seas in a midnight land forlorn. Traveller, ichat lies ofer the hill.- ' Ami wii icalls gruiu venerable, un ichieh dull Time Feeds, like slow fire upon u hoary brand. V here Pan might summer-long pipe his delight And fairies dance their rounds each full-mooned night. Coikgjo ry HE above is a picture of the residence of Dr. Calvin Jones from whom !D was purchased the farm of six hundred and fifteen acres for Wake Forest Institute. It originally stood where the Administration Building now stands. After several removals it now occupies a place across VV ' m- gate Street to the west of the campus. Its porches have been somewhat modified and an addition made to the end. Otherwise the original build- ing is well represented in the cut. FACULTY William Louis Poteat. MA, II D.

Some day We ' ll end our labors here — We ' ll pack our trunks Forsake our bunks And leave without a care. But now somehow wc feel It isn ' t sweet to go And leave the friends we ' ve met — Friends we can ne ' er forget — And face the world just so.

OHE time IS appreciably less removed from this Incandescent Age than ( 1 that antiquity-draped age that grows more mysterious as Father Time crunches the dry years between his gigantic molars, and blows the dust through his hoary whiskers that it may settle more thickly on the musty pages of history that has existed from that memorable time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, but it is historic nevertheless — historic be- cause it produced the Class of ' 27. A score years ago, more and less, a rivulet oozed from the intricate mosses of the unknown: trickled hesitantly over the ledges of the uneven strata of life; grew in volume as similar rivulets entwined, and finally swept down with the confidence and boisterousness of a mountain cascade — the Class of ' 27. This stream ambled and gamboled on its way, intoxicated with its freedom, until, in the fall of 1 ' 523. the oils descended and a semi-conquercd deluge of freshmen lay lapping disconsolately and uncertainly around the legs of Dr. Tom .lefTries, indispcnsible Potentate of Wake Forest College. The flood sul- lenly pressed the barrier for a year, but the Locks of Sophomoredom held, while the omnipotent and omnipresent wardens gaz.ed superciliously down from the bulwarks. Gazing upward in awe at these wardens, we. like sheep, were dumb be- fore our sheiirers. They reminded us, with their diabolical serenades, of Pope: ■■Nexl ivhere Ibc sirens diVflt you pknc ihe seas: Their snng is dealh. and makes destruclion please. This year of suspense and crisis was both incubator and brooder of an industrial revolution (with apologies to the other revcilutions that were insti- gated) . There was an increase in the production of chapel song books, a heavy offering of radiator fees, gym tickets and other usual necessities of college life. We invested heavily in chapel books, paid liberal radiator fees, and slocked up in interest in gym tickets. And why not. ' The purchase of chapel books is excusable on the principle of the thing — because of a gradually vanish- ing deference that a freshman feels toward idiosyncrasies inherited from home life. Radiator fees enhance the coziness of one ' s room and cause the young student to remain in by a sizzling radiator instead of wandering about on a hostile campus when night has wrapped her dismal blanket about it. As to the gym tickets, they became indispensable after the first night out. We returned from this ennobling experience with the backs of th lower fronts of our shirts imitating the flowing beard of retreating winter. But at last (in- comparable bliss! I the locks swung open, and we flowed out. like so many autumn leaves, on the expansive lake of complacent Sophomoredom. Being Sophomores is largely like the proverbial morning after — there isn ' t as much fun in the being as there is in the arriving. We did not let our proteges discover the flaw in the Kohinoor of our existence, however, but extracted the usual special duties, together with a heavy ad valorem. Our most fascinating task was the imparting of our college spirit into those innocent cherubs, our charges, the Class of ' 28, It was a difficult Com- mission of State, requiring the diplomacy of a skilled and sympathetic Cabinet of Compassion. In exercising our duty, we saw that every lung was inflamed before cheers failed in ardor; that at no time was any voice to rise the most minute fraction of an octave above our own. nor could a verbal shot at an enemy surpass a like child of our own wit without bringing down the wrath of an avenging Sophomore. Then, too, they were to be constantly sheltered from the wiles of any of the fair maidens who inhabit our campus all too in- frequently. Our own orbs had not yet fully recovered from the continued drouth of vision of the mists that linger in a maiden ' s eyes and melt the heart of a wooer to words of translucent love. Thus went our lives and our aspirations until, out of pure satiety, we became Juniors. The Junior year is always epoch-making in college life. In it we put our hands to the plow and turned up furrow after furrow of wisdom until the fields of learning appear almost done. As we think that we have finished the last one. however, we reach the summit of the hill, and great uncultivated areas lie just beyond the rim of our ability. The year advances: a mania for ac- tivities develops to a white heat, and the thrilling art of politicing surges over the milder sports like hungry timber wolves in the chase. In fact. Junior life is one of activity and application: of widening circles of friendship: truer ap- preciation of our fellow students, and a time of practically complete oblivion to the goings-on of the outside world. It is really the collegiate year of the four — the smoothing shop in which the product is made ready to receive the polish and be allowed to bask in the sunshine of Senior glory. When the Class of ' 27 awoke on Senior morning, the BHnds of Self-satis- faction were half opened, and we gazed through the Window of Realism into a world of Duty where Opportunity shone in all its myriad colors. We sat upright in our Beds of Contentment: threw back the Covers of Oblivion, and sprang up to gird ourselves in the Armor of Preparedness, for which we had struggled three years that we might merit our Arms. The Senior ' s life is one of complex pha.ses. Looking backward, there is a longing for those lost opportunities that cannot be redeemed, even at a price below par. Considering the present, we see a panorama of glittering Pearls of Great Price, and realize that we can take only a handful of these Gems of Study. We stand wavering before the harvest that lies before us: baffled by the equivalent values that make up the unattainable whole, and then stretch forth our hands and grasp, half blindly, the ones that appear nearer us. Pos- sibly we shall be pleased when the years have tried our choice, but in the tread- ing of the wine-press of life: ■■Theu ' IS , ( .M.nu thai marks our ends: Rnuilh l.-ll ' Ihfm h,nv iiv u ' lll Standing preeminently above the other ideals toward which we have striven is that of Loyalty — a quality as intangible and indefinable as love, but whose compelling force surcharges the soul of every faithful member of the Class of ' 27. When we were fresh, the fluid of enthusiasm permeated us and we called it ' pep: as Sophomores, the restlessness of patriotic energy gripped us and we called it college spirit: while Juniors, we drank in thirsty gulps from the neglected cup of true appreciation, and called the resulting effect ioy of achievement. At last, when wc had become Seniors, these three great qualities were blended by the master-hands of our tutors into the pyramid of determined and worthy ambition. May this Loyalty keep burning in the heart of each classmate of ' 27 the eternal fires of F-aith. Hope, and Love, so that, when meeting each other at the intersections of Life ' s pathways, we may realize that immortal emotion that Bryant dreamed of when he wrote: thai u ' hci thu The innumerable caravan, that To the pale realms of shade, u Hts chumher m the sileni halls Thnu an nnl.

The class fell for the suggestion Bailey has the honor of being the most Bow-legged man in the class of ' 27. AN agreed that it was too bad for T. J.

Next, eyes were turned on the faces of every member uf the class for the purpose «f seeking Best Looking man in the hall.

There were still some left who seemed to like their dram so immediately the Whiskey Quartette was selected. Much talent was present but the class showed its proficiency in judgment when it chose B. M. Squires, R. P. Downey. G. F. Johnson, and B. V. Walker to make up the quartette. When we began looking for the .Most Adorable all eyes at once focused thought he ought to have had the place and became very much enraged over hi one who doubted his fitness and was thereby dubbeil the Most Pugnacious to C.

Poovy was able to gather enough votes to be elected Class Baby. .)ur Bum is none other than M. G. Williams and he fits the office like a bandage. Some member arose and announced the Most Romantic. There were many candidates presented for this honor. Every voter became a [lolitician and all tricks of the trade were used to convert those who had no choice. Waldo D. Early won by one vote over T. W. Baker, who was later declared the Most Passionate Kisser of the class. R. G. O ' Brien was declared the Most Loose- tongued because he emphatically told the group that his room-mate, J. D. ann, actually carries a club to keep the fair sex from smothering him. Of course it is as useless as a tire pump in a canoe to say that Vann is the ' Biggest Sheik. W, L. Creel, not being so successful with the ladies, justly deserves the place as Woman Hater. R. H. Boone was nominated for Baby Face, but before the votes were cast. B. W. Walker, not knowing anything about parliamentary procedure, presented J. A. Hamilton as the Biggest Cusser. Boone and Hamilton piled up overwhelming majorities while Walker was unanimously chosen Bone-head. The president announced Hair-cutter. Over a dozen men leaped up. Evidently a political ring had been organized for they all yelled. Give us Tew. After the tumult had died away. Tew was declared electe l. Next, eyes turned on the stately posture and conservative dress of J. O. Wells. He was easily classified as the Most Dignified. No one denies that L. P. Spencer is by rights the Mocking Bird of the class. If one should have any doubts as to his qualifications just drop around and bear his melodious voice. B. G. Rackley ' s miserable record in athletics clearly shows that he was the proper man to be namedl our clumsiest member. Practically every man of the class is guilty of lying, but it is also and D. S. Haworth was agreed upon as being the most lavish indulger in th boast of one real George Washington in its midst. He is I. O. Brady, the are some who don ' t exactly lie outright but sling a line of what we know our Biggest Bull-shooter excels in this field. Every one agreeti that J. S. Piltard was the Biggest Eater of the group. It wuuld have I eei have run anyone against him. An oversight caused the laziest member to be overlooked until no ' names were placed before the house and every candidate was afraid he would win. There were machines playing in favor of anyone. The balloting being concluded, the group became the microbes gnashing their teeth. L. B. Paschall. editor of the college i aper. won W. M. Grubbs was named the strongest while M. M.

At this point the various that B. M. Squires and R. P. Downey the Most ' irtuous. and the Most Debauched. With these offices so capably filled and all cigars by this time being converted into ashes, the class showed its appreciation to Miss Williams for the use of her hall by a rising vote of thanks and adjourned with the job that they had finished.

It IS our wish that all expenses incurred through our burial services be met by the sum total of our insurance policies, moneys earned during the summer by the sale of Bibles and cook books, all our overpaid accounts, bum checks, and refunds from the Bursar.

The teachers of our number pass on wholeheartedly to the budding teachers of Junior Class the pains of anxiety and embracing fear that beset us when we deliberated on acqui ring a position for next year. The omniscient Sophs are the possessors of our unreserved commission to lay aside their pestering ' ways and become sensible, law-abiding citizens; all their transgressions upon Freshman territory are cheerfully forgiven, knowing as we do that they came out of well-meant ignorance. To all who may come after, we offer congratulations tinged with envy and resentment that they will be able to enjoy a decent theater and postoffice — possibly a gymnasium and swimming pool- — luxuries which were denied us during our stay in this earthly realm of material obstacles. By process of elimination our attorney narrows our residue of possession to one last item: this our eternal friendship.

But as the year progressed we gained in confidence — so much, in the shape of a disaster. It is of this that I wish to speak for , idea of the attitude which prompted the class of ' 29 to plan the Freshman Smoker of 1926 The class of ' 29 was perfectly cognizant during its Freshman year of the bclligeren feeling which prevailed in the hearts of Wake Forest upperclassmen toward Freshmen in g with the sole purpose of creating; a spirit of brotherly good will among ourselves that we That, however, was merely part of our purpose. We aimed, by creating a friendly spirit among ourselves and toward the college, to thus in some part earn the reciprocating friendship of the upperclassmen, for we held as the fundamental principle of our behavior the time-honored song of the Angels. Peace on the earth, good will toward men. It was because of a total and absolute misunderstanding of our object on the part of the upperclassmen that our project, to all outward appearances, failed. But has it failed? Perhaps, yes. as far as we, the Freshman class, were concerned. But look into the future for a moment. It is not in the ntagonie had this smoker. least impossible, and not at all improbable that the Freshma the civility due fellow human beings, instead of the curt brethren of the South, who originated in Africa; all becausi a spirit of peace and harmony.

THE NEXT NUMBER ON OUR PROGRAM IS A BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS SINCE ITS FIRST APPEARANCE THIS YEAR. On September 1 4 and 15, 1926, the campus of Wake Forest College beg overrun by a group of about seven hundred and fifty boys. Of this number, on fifty were Newishes, that is. they were starting into college for the first time, this group were from all parts of the country, and as a whole, were a very grc( sick bunch of boys for a week or so. The first problem we encountered upon our arrival on the campus was thai properly. Of course, the whole scheme was new to us. and therefore seemed However, we finally finished and then began to have a more complacent feeling. For about a week the upper classmen tried to find out all they could about they even tried to find out whether or not we were well trained in the art of in a group, kept together by the watchfulness of some of their number. We it well, for no other attempts were made along that line. One day not long after the opening of the semester, the announcement was i that there was to be a mass meeting of the student body that night for the purpi a few yells and songs. All Freshmen were urged to be present. This was our first encounter with the rest of the student body when it was feeling in high spirits. Irt the course of this meeting, several of our number were called upon to demonstrate their ability as public speakers. They acquitted themselves very well. When the meeting was over, the upper classmen, who had, for the most part, occupied the rear of the building, rushed out and lined up to watch us come out. We did so with fear and trembling and hastened to obey the nerve-racking shout; Get in your h-o-l-e. Newish! Close upon this harrowing experience came the first big football game of the season. We attended this in a body and saw our team win over Carolina in a hard fought game. This was the first chance to show our college spirit, and we responded heartily with the result that the majority of us could not talk much after the game was over. Not long after this the President of the Student Body called a meeting of the Freshman class for the purpose of electing officers. The following were chosen: Winston Hiner. Presi- dent: Carl Danner, Vice-President, and John Hcndrix, Secretary. These men were elected with their honesty and integrity in view, and they have proved to be very good selections. One day along towards the latter part of the first semester, the weather man framed up with the upper classmen and covered the ground with snow. In chapel, a brief meeting of the Freshman class was announced for after chapel. When the meeting was over we looked out the windows and saw a line of upper classmen standing outside, with snowballs piled beside them, waiting to give us a reception. We decided that we were .in no hurry at all to get to dinner and that if we waited a little while, the food would probably taste better. At any rate, after waiting inside the building for a short while, we saw the men outside beginning to leave. Before long we were able to venture out and go to dinner. The next test of our ability came with the first semester examinations. They loomed up before us as something wholly impossible to survive. But after working hard, we tried them and passed for the most part. The class as a whole made a very creditable showing. Freshmen have been well represented in all forms of athletics. We had a very creditable football team, and a hard-fighting group of basketball players. Although they were not always successful, there was always plenty of spirit. The present prospects for the Freshman baseball team are very good, and it is expected that this team will be the best we have had. During all these experiences, the members of our class have been gaining every day in college spirit. We have become more and more loyal to Wake Forest, and have begun to feel that we are really a part of the Student Body. The brotherly attitudi of the upper classmen has increased constantly and we have come to know and like them. However, as our Freshman year has drawn to a close, there has been one chief regret in our minds. This one reason makes us wish that we might retrace our steps and go through the year again, but this is, of course, impossible: it will be a source of sorrow to us that we cannot continue our college course under the leadership of Dr. William Louis Poteat.

ZiM Pane Onf Hundred Forty Page One Hundred Forty-t LAW CLASS HISTORY THE history of the Ijw School at W.ikc forest ever since its beginning in 1895 has been a record of glory punctuated with many numerous achievements But it is the year just ended that has eclipsed all others in a way which seems nothing less tnan phenomenal. Never before nas a law c.a.s at Wake Forest possessed such a record of accomplishments as is claimed by the present class It was shortly after the opening of school this year that [he annex to the Library, which was to be occupied by the Law School, was finished The completion of the annex, an equiv- alent to a small new building, meant that for the first time the Department of Law at Wake I orest College was to be adequately housed and that a real law library was to be installed. The equipment of a very much larger library and the hiring of a licensed attorney as a full time law librarian marked the beginning of a new era for the Wake Forest Law School. Wake Forest now has all the requirements necessary in order to be ranked as an A-1 law school by the American Bar A,ssociation, When Wake Forest is so listed, it will be ranking with the very highest law schools in the country Near the close of last year and after the lO ' b HOWLl R went to press, the law students launched a campaign among its members and friends for a fund to have the portrait of Dr. N. Y. Gulley. beloved grey-haired founder and dean of the School, painted by a well-known Russian artist then traveling in America This fund was soon raised, and now a portrait of the man that has prepared and trained more lawyers for the bar than any other man in North Carolina hangs in Wingate Memorial Hall. The enrollment this year of a hundred and ninety is the largest class yet to read law at Wake Forest. The completion of the annex caused men to flock to Wake Forest from prac- tically every county in the State, from the highest peaks of the Blue Ridge to the lowest depths of the swampy east have come men to study law. Forty -three men went up from Wake Forest in January to take the Supreme Court examination, the largest ever to go up in .January The Wake f-orest Law School ever since its establishment thirty-two years ago has ranked among the highest in efficiency. The credit for this position is attributed solely to our worthy law faculty, headed by our beloved Dr. Needham Y Gulley. who has labored with strain and effort for the success of the school ever since its foundation. He is very efficiently supported by Professors E. W. Timberlakc. Jr.. and R. B. White, whose ability as teachers of the law has won for them recognition throughout the State. Over twelve hundred lawyers in all have come out from the halls of Wake Forest to practice the high profession, a number unsurpassed by anv other law school in North Carolina Ihe Law Class of ] lb l7 has not only been active in the field nl law. but also in every other phase of college life In every phase of college activity, the members of this unit have been in the front ranks Whether on the athletic field, in the class room, society hall.

We found this class just as dry as were the bones we were studying. After having spent four weeks of unique toil on Osteology we entered the dissecting room with fear and trembling.

MINISTERIAL CLASS HISTORY UPON no man. since the days of the ancient prophets, has there been bestowed the ability to look into the future and reveal the destiny of man. But for ages past, it has been the custom of our predecessors to record the events of human kind and. thereby, portray to their posterity the dominating characteristics that lead to human success. It is with this idea in mind that 1 record the history of the Ministerial Class, with the hope that at some future date, man may turn back the pages of history and be inspired to do greater things. Since history, in the true sense of the word, is a relation of fact, it is only proper to begin my discourse by stating that the Ministerial Class of Wake Forest College is truly a living organization. There are eighty-four members in the class and each Wednesday night these men. led by their president, Mr. S. L. Lamm, come together and study the books which seem to them essential to the success of their profession. This year Dr. Charles E. Jefferson ' s book, The Minister as Shepherd, and Dr. Campbell Morgan ' s book, The Minister of the Word, were discussed by Dr. Cullom. These books were found to be of great help to the class, both from the standpoint of enlightenment and as an insight into the real purpose and intent of the ministry itself. Aside from the regular course of study which the class as a whole persues, there is another phase of its history that should be mentioned — the College life of the Ministerial Class. There are those of our class who are song birds in the true sense of the word, and their ability to sing has been manifested by their place on the College Glee Club. Others of our number have even summoned up courage enough to present themselves as public speakers and have been awarded positions in the forensic contests of our college. Also, if our records are correct, some of our number have won honors for their Alma .Mater in athletics and other activities of the college. Of the eighty-four men who constitute the class, twenty-two have been ordained, eighteen are active pastors, and several are preparing for missionary work. Their greatest aim is to be of service to mankind; their chief desire to shape their lives by the plan given in the Book of Books. When duty calls them to their separate tasks in life they will be ready and prepared. Page One Hundred Fifty Page One Hundred Fiftyon y ip amz ions ( 7 HE first permanent organizations on the campus were the Philoma- V_ thestan and Euzelian Literary Societies. During the first year those interested in debate formed what was called the Polemic Society. The leader in their organization was Professor John Armstrong. On February 14, 1835, he addressed the students on The Value of Polemic Societies. At the close of his address two students, J. C. Dochery of Richmond County, and Hiram K. Person of Chatham County, were appointed to divide the students into two groups equal in talents and numbers. To Armstrong the Societies probably owe their names and constitutions. The first banners, which contained the present designs and cabalistic characters, were presented by Mrs. Samuel Wait on July 4, 1835. A. B. Peacock B. M. Squires T. W.

Tantaenct caeles ' tibiis An armistice came with the great religious revival of 1S.13. hut throughout the remainder of the nineteenth century the halls of the two societies were much like two armed camps. There was always a bitter fight for new members, and many a stratagem to get them. On the institution of the celebration of Anniversary in 1«54. as there were at first only orations, society was clearly pitted against society, and hostilities came out into the open. When, in 1H72. the public debate was added, precaution was taken to arrange the speakers so that a member of one society might have as his colleague a member of the other. Under any other arrangement there would have been much more serious battle than one of words. This rivalry, however, had its better side, and society men of former days have looked upon its weaken- ing as an evidence of decadence. It created and maintained a strong devotion of the members to the so- cieties. L ' nder its inflnencc students would attend long session of debate without grumbling, often in the early days, as President Poteat says, sitting through long winter evenings in unheated halls, wrapped in heavy overcoats, and with hot bricks at their feet. Men of the upper classes were faithful to attend, and. as sympathetic critics, lend the advantage of their experience to the training and development of the neophytes. Another very valuable feature of the societies until recent years was the business meeting. This was a ):ure democracy. It was here that the character of the men became known. If one was a weakling, he could not conceal it; if he had the qualities uf leadership, they soon became manifest; if he was lacking moral fibre, his fellows found it out. One ' s society mates also knew his financial status; if he had money, they used him with a will where individual ex[iense was involved; if he was a poor fellow struggling to make his way through college, they were lenient, sympathetic, and sometimes able to help him. The society chastened every member with its firm but reasonable discipline, and in the humblest stimulated respect for raijcOne Hundred Se -EuzELiAN Literary Society Hall liinisclf as worthy to be a member of a brotherhood in which himself and every other.

To the societies is due also the beginning of the College Library, L ' ntil the completion of the Heck- Williams Building in 1879, the societies had each its own books on shelves around the walls of its hall on the top floor of the old dormitory building: halls which had been assigned to them on the completion of the building of 1838, On moving to their present halls, the societies donated their books, numbering nearly eight thousand, to the College, and turned over to the College the collection of library fees.

BALDWIN Big-hearted, likable, and earnest in all his dealings, Coach Baldwin has won the hearts of the Wake Forest student body in the short time he has been a member of the coaching staff of the college. Baldwin believes in go- ing at a thing with all he is worth, and he puts every ounce of his body and soul into everything to which he sets his hand. With such a disposition it is only natural that Coach Baldwin should win the success that has ac- companied his first year at Wake Forest. Second place in the North Carolina State football race, and a tie for first honors in basketball, arc concrete proof of the worth of the new Wake Forest mentor. Coach Baldwin has had wide experience in coaching before coming here, having coached at such schools as Lehigh University, the Uni- versity of Maine, Trinity College, and others. PHIL M. UTLEY Phil, genial keeper of the gymnasium, assistant coach in football, head coach of Track, and producer of the Special Gymnasium team of the college, is a favorite with all those with whom he comes in contact. He was graduated from Wake Forest College some years ago with a creditable scholarship record behind him. and with one of the most brilliant records on the football, baseball, basketball and track teams of the college of any man ever to finish here. Phil surpassed in all four sports, and never let it get into his head, a remarkable feat for any athlete. And during the four years that he has been back with his Alma Mater he has striven at ail times to have Wake Forest on top. and his efforts have not gone unrewarded. CHARLES LINGLE Lingle, the new freshman coach, has fitted well into the Baldwin regime during the first year of the reign of the new varsity coach. Lingle comes to Wake Forest from Lehigh University, where as a student and a post-gradu- ate, he won honors such as are read of in college novels. Dashing through the entire University of West Virgmia football team for an cighty-fivc-yard run and victory for Lehigh are among his accomplishments. He handled the varsity basketball team at Lehigh during the 1926 season, leading one of the greatest teams in Lehigh history through the season with but one defeat. Lingle is a hard and con- scientious worker, and is destined to success with his work of handling the Wake Forest freshman teams.

Rackley ' s work was outstanding in every game of the season, and his feats on the gridiron for Wake Forest will long be remembered. ♦ BILL RILEY With the close of the 1926 football season came also the culmination of the football career of this pictured giant of the gridiron, one William S. Riley, of Albany. Georgia. Bill is not as giant in size, tipping the beam at only 150 pounds: but in his achievements for Wake Forest during the past four years, he has been one of the most brilliant of the Deacons. The unanimous selection of sport scribes for their All-State teams, Riley won for himself a name such as is seldom earned in thjs part of the country. FRED EMMERSON In this powerful tackle Wake Forest had one of the most brilliant lines- men in the South. Emmerson was picked on every consequential All-State team chosen for the year and was named on one All-Southern team. The big Kansan began his career here at the center position but was later shifted to one of the tackles, at which position he has rendered consistent service for the past three seasons. MONK OBER This h ird-hitting halfback from Fort Scott, Kansas, picked as Racklcy ' s running mate on a number of AllSiate teams, was perhaps Wake Forest ' s best and most consistent ground-gainer during the 1926 season. Obcr ' s good work was recognized by his team-mates and he was elected by the team to captain the 1927 eleven. Two Utnulrcd Fift: FOOTBALL INDIVIDUALS PAUL SYKES And this is that 150-pound specimen of grit and pluck that represented the fullback department of Wake Forest ' s 1926 grid machine, Paul has for three years prior to this one been a mainstay in the reserve corps of the Deacon football squadron, putting in practically all of the 1925 season as a regular. Sykes is also an excellent scholar and is president of the Senior class. JESSE PHIFER Jesse Phifer. by winning for himself a regular berth at center on Coach Baldwin ' s team, has won the honor and esteem of the Wake Forest student body, as well as of North Carolina fandom in general. Phifer. a sopho- more, and weighing but 150 pounds, by sheer determination and power of will, showed the Deacon coach that weight was by no means a required attribute of a good linesman. JACK PHELPS Phoebe. Fred Emmcrsons running mate as one of the tackles on Wake Forest ' s 1926 grid machine, received Southwide recognition as one of the best guards in the section. Phelps, with his giant structure, played havoc with his opponents this year, and gives promise of being one of the main- stays in Wake Forest ' s 1927 team. Jack has all the qualities that go into the makeup of a real football player and a man. JOE CLAYTON On the other side of the line from the veteran Riley resided this jovial junior from Brevard- It took Joe some time to prove that he was the man for the job. but when he did win the position there was none to gainsay his ri ht to it. His speed, together with an uncanny abilitv to gather passes from the air assure him of a place on the 1927 team.

LUTHER PERSON This raw-boned tackle hailing from Fayetteville w Forest students and supporters last year with his playing. Again this year he showed his mettle, and pains by a regular berth on Baldwin s team. 1 depended upon in a pinch, fought his way to glory the 1 )26 season.

Ralph was not destined to lose any of his glory during the 1926 season. His unerring accuracy in hurling the ball scored many touchdowns for Wake Forest this year and gave James the jump on other contestants for the quarterback position made vacant by the graduation of Racklcy For three years now this Ashcvillian has served well in his capacity as understudy for the great Racklcy. I ' anc Two Hunilrcd Fifty fm FOOTBALL INDIVIDUALS LOUIS WOODWARD Woodward ' s clean sportsmanship and high moral code on the football field have set his name high on the pinnacle of Wake Forest athletics of ali times. Doing second duty on the pivot position of the Wake Forest eleven. Woodward was one of the big factors in the many triumphs of the Deacon eleven during the season. Although eligible for another year on the Wake Forest team, it is doubtful that he will be back next year. VERNELL HACKNEY Hackney, another sophomore member of Coach Baldwin ' s 1926 foot- ball squad, caught the eye of the Wake Forest mentor during the first workouts of the season, and saw considerable service during the year. VcrncU showed up exceptionally well in the Duke game, also distin- guishing himself in the Elon game. Hackney did not win a letter this year, but should have no difficulty in rat ing a good place on the 1927 squad. •■JEW ZIMMERMAN And again, a raw-boned recruit from Asheville. Jew. a gigantic power of strength in the line, was used to advantage by Coach Baldwin in a number of games. Zimmerman is another sophomore and is expected to exhibit some real football ability in the next two years. Aside from being a football player of merit. Zimmerman also has won for himself an enviable reputation for holding the gate at basketball games. BILL MEEKINS Faithful and hard-working. Bill Meekins played an important role in the drama of Wake Forest ' s 1926 football team. Bill completed his academic work here with the close of the first semester, and therefore will not be back for the 1927 squad. Although not a regular. Bill was always on hand when needed, and served Coach Baldwin well in the production of the 1926 aggregation.

Coach Baldwin, with such a task as rarely c The problem was this: early in September ihat the thirty-three pro peclive members of Coach Baldwin ' s first lined up for calisthenics on Gore Field. It was a rather skeptical bunch, ete with knowledge gleaned from another system of play, and desirous of being could compare with the one which they had been laboring for three years prior to the coach who was to replace the successful Hank tiarrity, was confronted ver faces any mentor, either new or old. Wake Forest College, so long used to losing athletic teams, had in 1923, procured the services of the aforementioned Garrity, together with a promising bunch of material, and had, before the football season was over, developed the best team in the State, and had succeeded in winning second honors m the State after having, through force of habit, dropped the first game of the year to the Tar Heels of the Lniversity of North Carolina. It was the event of the birth of a new athletic regime at Wake Forest College, and at the same time the event of the birth of a new sense of expectation from Wake Forest ' s supporters. Accustomed for so many years to losing games right and left, and to considering it a ' moral victory when the team fought Guilford to a nothing-nothing deadlock. Wake Forest students and followers found surprisingly little difficulty in completely revising the standards by which they judged their teams, and where a year agu they considered the team fortunate to defeat Elon ij-0. they now thought themselves ill-u sed if the team didn ' t pile at least fifty or sixty points against these same Christians. And 30 it went. Garrity ' s regime was colorful, brilliant and successful, and there were among Wake Forest ' s student body many doubting Thomases and many who would not believe in the new Deacon mentor. Baldwin, until he should have proven by concrete example, that he was capable of putting out a winning team. There were even athletes who openly flaunted the new system. So much for the problem. It is self-explanatory. Baldwin, a new man. working with new men, dealing with new- problems, and attempting to introduce a new system, found that the Wake Forest student body didn ' t want to wait a year or two for the new regime to begin to function; they wanted a winning team right off the bat. Wake Forest ' s teams had been winning, they argued. Why then, could they not continue to win? And the story of how Baldwin, the big hearted, lovable giant that is now loyally looked up to by every Wake Forest College student, solved this problem is one of the classics of sportdom. It didn ' t take the prospective players long to find out that whatever fault might have been found with their new boss, one of them was not that he had any favorites, or that he was giving away gratis any positions iin an athletic team coached by him. It didn ' t take the thirty-three men already referred to long to learn that if [hey were to win places on a Baldwin-coached eleven they must work. And so they worked — worker! for six and eight hours each day. Whether or not Coach Baldwin realized the ponderosity of the task that confronted him. there is no doubt that he extracted every possible bit of brain-work and physical toil from the men that reported to him. At six-thirty every morning the thirty-three were on deck at Gore Field for a two- hour before breakfast workout. And then, at eleven o ' clock, the motley crew assembled again, this time on the campus, for an hour ' s skull drill and blackboard lectures by Coach Baldwin. Following lunch, the squad met again on the campus for more skull drill before the regular afternoon ' s work on- the field commencing at three-thirty. And. to cap the climax, another meeting was called after supper in the Law class room. And so, after three weeks of this type of training, the Deacons found themselves at last ready for the trying clash with the L ' niversity of North Carolina For the two seasons prior to this one the Demons had vanquished the Tar Heels, and, by all good logic, should have been satisfied. But no. not Wake Forest, On Friday night. September 24. Wake Forest was keyed up to just as high pitch as ever, and the desire for victory was running just as high. Coach Baldwin and his new system were forgotten for the moment. X ' ictory was the only thing. Little did it matter to the seven hundred Wake Forest students that their coach had had otily three weeks in which to inject an entirely new system of play into the men that were tn i- Page Tuo Hundred Fifly-sc-.c amis of Wake Forest backers icpresent tlic college Saturday, and even less did it matter to I -State and country, ictory, and blood! They were the cries. And then, after seeniiny ages, the time came. It was two-thirty on Gore Field. Up the red hill to the college was a steady stream of sport-mad humanity. Wake Forest ' s bleachers were filled to overflowing: and on they came, those heartless thousands. And then came the teams. Carolina, with her haughty blue, and Wake Forest, bedecked in sombre Old Gold and Black. And then the game! Never, according to Wake Forest fans who yelled themselves hoarse all through that hectic struggle, has there been such a soul-stirrer. As the game started, the Tar Heels presented a Hashing end run combination that looked not at all favorable for Wake Forest. In three plays the Heels had gained some thirty-five yards of Wake Forest ' s precious territory, and had been credited with three first downs. It was here, however, that the Baldwin-coached men dug their cleats in the ground and showed a defensive power that forced the Heels to punt. And here the tide turned. From then on it was Wake Forest ' s game, with the scoring coming as a matter (if course. It was early in the second quarter that this improvement first made its dent in the score board. After Laurence Cooper had fallen on a Carolina fumble on the Heels ' JO-yard line. Captain Rackley shot a bullet-hke pass straight into the arms of the squirming Riley, who trotted across the Carolina goal line for the first score of the game. Rackley failed to make good the try for the extra point. it was later in this same period that the Deacons flashed for the second time across the Blue goal line for the points that put the game on ice for Wake Forest. With the ball on Carolina ' s 30-yard line Rackley passed another of his beautiful aerial thrusts to Monk Ober, who carried the ball twenty-six yards to Carolina ' s four-yard mark before being downed. Another perfectly timed pass. Rackley to Riley, netted another tniich- ' lown, and victory— the victory for which so many Wake Forest backers had yelled so long and well. And after the game there was among the thousands that thronged up the hill a sun-tanned, rather bald middle-aged man who had scored the greatest victory of all. That man was Jim Baldwin, the man who had seen what was expected of him, and had. l)y an almost superhuman effort, produced that thing. On the following Saturday the Deacon ' s journeyed to Salisbury to do battle with the Terriers of Wofford (.ollege. The Deacons ripped great holes in Wofford ' s line and forward passed their way to a 27-0 victory over the South Carolinians. Two touchdowns came in the first quarter as results of long drives down the field. ■■.Monk Ober made both the first touchdowns, James adding one of the extra points. In the second period KUey added another touchdown to his credit when he brought down a twenty-five yard pass from James and raced thirty yards for a touchdown. The Deacon second team was injected into the fray for the third quarter, fighting the Terriers on even terms for fifteen minutes. The first team was reinjected for the fourth period. Just before the final whistle blew, with the ball in Wake Forest ' s possession on W ofFord ' s 80-yard mark, James stepped back and cooly passed twenty-five yards to Riley, who clipped off the remaining forty-five yards to score another touchdown just as the whistle blew. On October 9. the Demon Deacons again pitied their strength against a South Carolina eleven, but with not the success that accompanied them in the WofTord game the week before.

First, in tbe Carolina game, Paul Sykes received an injury that tabooed him from the fray for at least three or four weeks. Then, in the Wofford contest. Captain Rackley received an ankle injury that was to render him useless to the team for an indefinite length of time. Then came Jack Smith ' s time to eat dirt, and tbe Deacons had lost another star. And now. just on the eve of the P. C. game. Bill Gibson turned up with diphtheria. V ith their ranks thus so distressingly torn asunder, it was not a great surprise to Wake Forest followers on that Saturday in Asheville when Wake Forest ' s machine, patched as it was, cracked before the scrapping Presbyterians and fell to a 13-0 defeat before the South Carolinians. It was the Davidson contest in Charlotte the following week that really mattered, however, and every effort was put forth by Coach Baldwin and other Wake Forest officials to get the Baptist team in condition to put up a real scrap against the North Carolina Presbyterians. Rackley was finally patched up and gotten into shape to play at least a part of the game. With their captain thus able to play only half as he was wont to play, tbe Deacons fought bravely and valliantly against the well-trained Davidson crew. Davidson was leading, J-0 at the half, after having been outplayed by the Deacons. Captain Rackley evened the count ia the third quarter, however, to tie the score at 3-3. Although both teams scrapi ed valliantly for the remainder of the game, neither was able to break the deadlock, and the tinal score was a tie. Duke Cniversity, another denominational school, faced Wake Forest next. The Deacons were in top form for this clash and the final 21-0 victory for Wake Forest was deser ' ed. Captain Rackley. a (loldsboro boy. rose to the heights in this contest, fairly dazzling his hcmefolks with a series of end runs, line bucks, and passes. Ober, Clayton, and Hackney scored the touchdowns of the game. Rackley adding all three extra points. This game found the team in its first excellent physical condition since the game with the Tar Heels back in September. Elon came ne.xt on Wake Forest ' s program, and was easily dispersed with. The Deacons piled a total of S3 points representing eight touchdowns by six Demons. Elon was outclassed from the beginning, being able to account for only two first downs as against eighteen for Wake Forest. Vernell Hackney and Mead Connelly, both ot Greensboro, came into the limelight in this game. Hackney stepped off a 70-yard run for a touchdown in the third quarter, and Connelly, who had prior to this game played in the line ploughed his way through the Christian defense for numerous long gains and for one touchdown. Ober and Holt scored two touchdowns each. The Deacons returned to the realm of moral victories in the next game, the one, with the Indians of Uilliam and Mary, played at Norfolk. The Indians were forced to their utmost to rout the Baptists, and it from a kick-off that gave the Indians the one touchdown margin that spelled outplayed the Indians in two periods, outclassed them in c ;s of play in the other, and received constant applause to featured Wake Forest ' s game, while the whole Deacon nd fought the great game rew exhibited rai was Wallick ' s 85-yard sprin victory. Wake Forest clearly standstill in all but five minu displayed. Rackley and Rile; football. Returning home for another engagement before the game with North Carolina State at Raleigh, the Deacons had it all their way with the Quakers of Guilford College. Coach Baldwin ' s second and third string teams played a large part of the time, but even with this Wake Forest was able to chalk up a 60-0 shutout before the final whisOe could stop things. The final game of the season found Wake Forest and Davidson deadlocked for high honors. Elach team had won each game on its schedule except the Wake Forest-Davidson clash which had resulted in a tie. On Thanksgiving Day then, with Wake Forest and Davidson battling State and Duke, respectively, there hung the 1926 State Championship of North Carolina. If Wake Forest defeated State and Davidson defeated Duke. the title would lie between Wake Forest and Davidson. If either Wake Forest or Davidson should lose, however, and the other should win. that winner should be champion of the State. Thus stood the race at two-thirty on Thanksgiving Day afternoon. How it stood at five-thirty on that same afternoon is another story, and to make that story— a long ont short. Wake Forest for the second consecutive year allowed the Wolfpack xr, win. and Davidson, defeating Duke easily, rose promptly to the throne. The State game was a disappointment to Wake Forest followers, a bitter one, but in looking back over the season and reviewing it as a whole, it is easy to see that Coach Baldwin did wonders with his team, and that Wake Forest was during the 1926 football ea?on t.reaking ground for a new and better athletic regime. gE E mi ( ' - 1 Hi ■ ■■ H t I ' k « A ■ gyH ■K. , 3 ■■ Pane T-j:o Hundred Fiftyi Freshman Football Squad FRESHMAN FOOTBALL RESULTS Wake Forest Wake Forest 8 7 Buies Creek Duke State 7 Wake Forest Wake Forest 13 Wingate 7 n 10 Wake Forest Newport News Apprentice Totals Totals 48 17 ram- Tuo Hundred Si BASKETBALL Pate Tu-o Hundred Sixly-i CAPTAIN A.

I Page Ttno Hundred Sixty-five RESUME OF SEASON ry ' JAKE f-OREST starttd the 1927 basketball season with the best prospects enjoyed by Ul a Demon Deacon team for many years With three regular varsity men back, and with plenty of good material from the ranks of the 1926 freshman team. Wake Forest supporters were confident that Coach Baldwin could organize another team of Demons which, when turned loose, would set other teams in the state an interesting pace for inter- collegiate honors. As all Wake Forest students would have il, the first seven games on the schedule were played at home, and in each of the games Wake Forest saw her heroes of the court bring honor to the name of the college. Even in the first exhibition game with Durham Y. sport en- thusiasts were assured that Coach Baldwin had whipped into shape an aggregation that was not to be trifled with. A prettier team was not to be found in North Carolina than this Demon Deacon squad, when, upon the night of February 12. it handed to the Red Terrors of N. C. State College her first licking of the season. The Deacons, clad in flashy new uniforms, worked together with almost faultless precision. It was Captain Obers field goal in the last few seconds of play that cinched the game for Wake Forest. Again on the following Tuesday night. Wake Forest was put to the supreme test, and again she showed State College the slufl of which winners are made. It was in the extra period of this game that Doetin looped in a beautiful shot from the center of the court, and again U ' ake Forest was the winner. Of course, after these two wins over State, the 1927 Wake Forest basketball team was pronounced a splendid success, but the season was not yet over. After overwhelming Duke, the Deacons journeyed over to Chapel Hill to engage in battle with the 1926 Southern cham- pions. Early in the second half the Deacons overtook the lead enjoyed by the Tar Heels at the turn, and when the final whistle blew, the wearers of Old Gold and Black had accomplished what was thought beforehand to be an impossible task, and had turned back in defeat the haughty Tar Heels. Here at Wake Forest there was incessant rejoicing for weeks With two wins over State and one over Carolina. Wake Forest students came to treasure aspiring thoughts for their Deacons. Following the engagement with Carolina the team took a trip through Western North Carolina, winning every game Then the Deacons sallied down into South Carolina and for fane T-wo Hundred Hixty-s V,rg,n,, , Of Rich- the first time in the season tasted defeat. It was Furman University that punctured Wake Forests winning streak of fifteen games. There followed two games with the Durham Y quint. In the second of these Wake Forest amassed a total of sixty-nine points, the largest score to be piled by a North Carolina quint during the 1927 season. Wake Forest s second defeat of the season came at the bands of Carolina in the City Auditorium at Raleigh. The State Championship rested upon this game, so a record-breaking crowd was attracted. With Carolina ' s victory came a deadlock for high honors in the state, with Wake Forest and the University sharing the top perch. Tentative plans for a game to settle the championship did not materialize Coach Baldwin now took his charges on a short, but interesting trip i the three games played on the tour. Wake Forest won two. The game lost mond Y, Deacon subs playing a large part of the game. It has been many, many years, if ever, that Wake Forest has had such as the one that represented the college during the 1927 season. With all the members and With none striving for individual honors, a very co-ordinate unit was formed praise is due Coach Baldwin for his work in producing this team. In this, his first year at Wake Forest, he has caused to be manifested in football and basketball more interest than has been shown for a long time. True, he has had good material to work with , but the work of his teams showed that there was a compelling force always present behind the works. A general summary at the dose of the season showed just what Wake Forest has done and just what was Wake Forest ' s claim for State honors. Wake Forest scored 963 points against 643 for opposing teams. Of the twenty-four games on her card. Wake Forest won elve games played in the state, only one was lost: thus the Deacons tied in the race. Wake Forest also made an enviable record in individual the state, Al Dowtin forged ahead of James near the close of the tal of 271 points, a record for the state, James, with 240 points, was m and in the state, while Emmerson took third place in the state with basketball tean Much twenty-one.

Captain-elect of the 1927 Demon Deacon baseball team, is concluding his brilliant ath- letic career at Wake Forest. Riley was an important cog in the State Championship baseball team of last season, and is looking even better this year. Riley is one of those athletes who improve from their freshman y ear on. KEY JOYNER One of the steadiest, and at the same time most brilliant, is Key Joyncr. Taking after Sorrell in form as well as in looks. Joyner has won many games for Wake Forest and is expected to win many another be- fore his career is ended. With Sorrell gone, Key will be the backbone of the Wake Forest pitching staff this year. JACK ' PHOEBE PHELPS Jack is a power in this world on the baseball team as well as on the gridiron. Holding down the backstop position on the Deacon team for two con- secutive years requires a lot of stuff, but this mighty giant from Creswell has what it lakes. His hitting was a big factor in Wake Forests Stale Championship team of last year. JOE CLAY ' I ON A flashy, daring shortstop. Joe CJayton has re- minded old-timers many times since his stay here of the Vann Stringfield of four years ago: Joe is this sea- son playing his second year as a regular on the Demon Deacon varsity baseball team. Joe intends to make teaching and coaching his profession after leaving school, it is said. His teams will be successful ones il he instills in tliem his spirit and fight. r«!n- T-.io II liiulnJ Sn: SEATON HOLT One of the hardest hitting outfielders in the state. Holt has made for Wake Forest one of the most valu- able players on the squad. Holt is a steady, capable fielder, and is not capable of being praised too highly. He is back this year at his old berth in left field, and bids fair to even outshine his work of last season. RALPH JAMES James made his official debut in the realm of Wake Forest baseball in the spring of 1925 when he was a member of the freshman nine. In a post season tilt between the Deacon varsity and the yearlings, both of which aggregations were State Champs, this Asheville youth hurled his way to fame by trouncing the Demon Deacon varsity. This year James is playing his second year on the varsity. PETE JOYNER Little Pete is not handicapped at all on the base- ball diamond by his tiny physique. Indeed, one wit- nessing one of his pegs from the hot corner to first base would be tempted to think that if he were much larger his strength would be too great to throw a ball less than a mile or so. Pete is one of the veterans on the Wake Forest team. OT PERSON This is the man who was the hero of Wake Forests 1926 baseball season, and who is doing more good work this year as a member of the Demon Deacon squad. Just before the Carolina game at Pinehurst last year, the jinx had Wake Forest in a tight predica- ment. Two of the Wake Forest hurlers were ruled ineligible, while other members of the staff were out with injuries. Ot stepped in and won the game for Wake Forest, poling out a home run as well as pitch- ing a beautiful game. m i Page Two Hundred Seventythr. KID KITCHIN Kid has long ago proved his mettle in counter at- tacks on State opponents. Not one rival in the state diamond artists but fear that left-hand twirl which he is master of. He shows by every delivery that he has perfect control of the stuff which spells victory for his team. FRANK FURCHES Furchcs is another new member of the Demon Deacon baseball team this season. One of the most powerful hitters on Bob Hays ' championship team of last year, he had little difficulty in landing a berth on Baldwin ' s first string this year. Frank is a hard aggres- sive player, sure as fate in the field, and a wonder at the bat. POP SIMMONS Pop is a member of that old. but dignified school of baseball pitchers that take things easy and don ' t believe in allowing his fielders to grow cold while he is in the box. Pop lets ' em hit them, but the hits are usually directed toward the occupied por- tion of the field, with the result that this veteran has many games to his credit. Simmons ' athletic career with the college concludes this year. AL DOWTIN Dowtin. recognized as one of the greatest basket- ball players ever to be turned loose on a North Caro- lina court, is equally as rampant when it comes to the baseball diamond. Al was a member of Bob Hays ' State Championship baseball team last year, and seems assured of a berth as second baseman on the varsity this year. ra,jc J-.m lhiu,ln;l ! AYDEN LASSITER Lassitcr is the third member of Baldwin ' s 1927 Demon Deacon squad who is a graduate of last year ' s frosh team, and it looks like that he will be able to make the grade with the best of the veterans. Lassiter is in right field this year and is as sure in his position as is Furches in his. KUYKENDALL This premier backstop, another product of the pro- lific Asheville. has made an auspicious beginning to his work on Coach Baldwin ' s varsity. Kirk was last year a member of Bob Hays ' State Championship fresh- man team, and his work this year bids fair to come well up to the standard set last year as a first year man. Kirk is dependable behind the bat. and is a terror to opposing hurlcrs. u MOTSINGER When deep center is in need of one who knows how to gage the flying sphere. Mot will fill all re- quirements. The winning of his letter long ago proves that he is worthy of all consideration. Too. when the batting average of the team is falling below par, this ccntcrfield master gets his lucky stroke. DOC HIGHTOWER Doc is one of those who has risen from the bot- tom of the ladder to a perch enviably near the top. He failed to make the freshman team last year, but in his work as a sophomore member of Coach Baldwin ' s team this year he has shown baseball ability that should carry him far in the remaining two years of his career here. Doc is an inficlder.

WILLIAMS Truck 7-.i-o llumlrcti Eiiiltl: Varsity Track Solad M ' 1927 VARSITY TRACK REVIEW )HE past track season was without doubt the most successful in the his- tory of this sport at Wake Forest College. Never before has such enthusiasm and interest been manifested. The initial call for candidates was responded to by approximately sixty- five men. In every event of the sport there was much competition for berths. Only after a very extended elimination process and very severe tryouts was it possible to select the final representatives of the varsity and freshmen teams. Heretofore practically every man reporting for practice automatically secured a place. This year it was a case of the survival of the fittest. A few of last year ' s letter men and heroes were absent: however, there were a great many new faces willing to fill the shoes of those which were found missing. Equally characteristic of both the varsity and freshmen teams was the fact that each phase of the sport was well-rounded. Talent seemed well distributed in all Page Tzco Hundred Eight} of the track and field events. For once Wake Forest boasted of a well-balanced team. Soon after the practice season began. Coach Utlcy. with his characteristic aggressiveness, whipped into shape a team which Wake Forest was proud to have support her colors. Arthur Greene was selected as captain of the cinder path artists and this fleet mid-distance runner led the team in great style. Some of the outstanding runners on the team were: Greene. Rackley. Daniel. Richmond. Hawes. Flanagan. Cook. Henry, Bryan. McBee. Wood- ward. Collier. Stradley. Holliday, Powell. Cree. and Cox. No doubt the re- construction of the track and the utilization of much new equipment were im- portant factors in the development of the smooth-running machine. The most notable addition to the track was a new 220-yard straight-a-way. This new feature proved to be a decided advantage to the sprinters and hurdlers. The elimination of the curve in the 220 yard dashes made possible the attainment of better time in these events. Another forward step toward early development of our efficient team was the separation of the varsity and the freshmen into two teams. Heretofore the freshmen runners have been allowed to participate in all varsity meets other than those held under Southern Conference rules, but this season it was thought best to arrange for a freshman team. This affords an opportunity for a greater number of the first-year men to prove their mettle, because, under such a system they do not have to compete with the strong opposition of the varsitv men for berths and receive more individual attention. The schedule marked out by Manager Williams was as follows: April 12 — Duke University at Durham. April 16 — Hampden-Sidney College at Hampden-Sidney. Va. April 23 — Davidson College at Davidson. April 30 — William and Mary College at Wake Forest. May 6 and 7 — All-State Meet at Greensboro. May 13 and 14 — South Atlantic Meet at Richmond. In all these meets the Wake Forest team showed up well and made an enviable record for the college.

KEY Tennis ■ Tu ' o Hundred Eighty fou Varsity Tennis Squad. 1927 ' VARSITY TENNIS REVIEW OF 1926 )HE tennis team of ' 26 had a very successful season, winning six matches, tying one. and losing three. The first double team, composed of Cap- tain Powers and J. B. Sawyer, lost only two matches. These matches were during the early part of the season, and during the last part of the season the Deacon pair were victors over the team which conquered them. ( The Duke team and the team from the University of North Carolina are the ones referred to. ) Captain Powers was the star player for the Deacons, winning all of his single matches except the ones against the present State champions. The State champion of ' 25 was among the scalps of the Deacon captain. The team of ' 26 was composed of Powers, captain; Sawyer. Agelasto. Slate. Burroughs, and Tom Carlton. Carlton won all the matches he played. Captain Powers is the only member of last year ' s team back for the ' 27 team. He will assume the captaincy again this year. The most promising men for the team are: Padgett. Epstein. Hall. Yates, and Maxwell. The team will meet the teams from the other colleges of this state and trips are being arranged into South Carolina and ' Virginia.

They were allowed to have them as their guests at their Fourth of July celebration but these were almost the sole occasions for companionship among them. With the exception of an occasional visitor, the only young lady on the premises was the daughter of the President, and with her from the very first year, although she was a mere child, the young gentlemen were desperately in love.

Far from the west the faint sunshine Glanced sparkling off her golden hair; Those calm, deep eyes were turned to mine. And a look of contentment rested there. I see her bathed in sunlight flood. I see her standing peacefully now. Peacefully standing and chewing her cud, As I rubbed her ears — that Jersey cow! Page Three Hundred Twenty-o THE LANGREN asheville. n. c.
