Right, seated and standing around table in varying attitudes of nonchalance are assorted mathematicians. Left to right, they are: Jones, department chairman, Copeland, department neophyte, and Professors Gay, Carroll, and Raynor. This is the calmest department on cam- pus, because they know that it ' ll all work out mathematically. The pipe-smoking gentlemen posed si jovially in front of the freshman file: are, below, from left to right, Dr Henry Broadus Jones and Dr. Edgar Estes Folk. The joviality is not a pose in this case, and is probably due tc the fact that neither one has to peruse the themes on Why I Came to Wake Forest, which stuff the pigeon-holes. Above are the men of the modern language department. They know who had a word for it. Grouped around their table, in apparently the favorite pose of the Howler photographer, they are Messrs. Browning, Seibert, Parcell, Berry and Archie. French, German, and Spanish is their business. Left, Mr. Hagood looks haughtily at Webster and the dictionary stares right back as Mr. Aycock shows some of his etchings to Mr. Drake, and Mr. Brown just reads. Don ' t let the un- cluttered table throw you. Absent from the department is Max Griffin, who is studying at Chapel Hill.

;- r k At the beginning of the scholastic year we had a staff (if four in the chemistry department. Now we have three. Dr. Nevill Isbel] of the department is on leave id absence and with the chemical warfare division of the army. He is now Captain Isbell. Jack Webb, teaching fellow in the department, is doing something scientific and mysterious for the army in London. His place is being filled by Paul Cheek. Pictured at left are, seated, Dr. Black, department chairman, and, standing, Dr. Wv.itt. two Of the survivors. Looking down at Ids desk is Dr. C. B. Earp, pro- fessor of Greek at Wake Forest. Dr. Earp has filled the chair left vacant at the retirement of Dr. (.. W. Paschal in 1940. He is also a profound Latin scholar. One of the newer me the campus, his friendliness and competence have distinguished his presence here. If you ' d like to know anything about the life-cycle of the sheep liver fluke, how to dissect a shark or pin hack an earthworm, the men here pictured can tell you. They are Dr. Bradbury, Dr. Cocke, Mr. Leatherwood and Mr. Allen. Biologists, all, they stain a mean slide. Below is Dr. Hubert Poteat — or we could have said, here is the Latin Department. This year we present his without his pipe, a regular journalistic scoop, since, so far as we know, this is the only picture of its kind extant.

Left, Drs. Binkley and F.asley and our newly-acquired Mr. Carver here do something or other of obviously rather vital import for the religion depart- ment. Or could it be that the good professors arc posing for a picture? Below, we have two gentlemen who arc making musical history in a school which has had little of it. MacDonald. right, is head of the department. Hester, left, is his assistant. Here we see then laugh- ing at a sheet of music. One of Hester ' s arrangements ? Another new member of the faculty is shown above with one of our well-beloved old-timers. Dr. Parker, on the left, is shown seated in the office of the physics depart incut with Dr. Bill Speas, famed for over twenty years at Wake Forest for wit. intellect, and sly freshman- baiting. The physics department is one of the several Wake Forest departments to contribute a member to na- tional defense. Dr. Sherwood Githens is now with the army air corps in a research capacity. To the right of us are Dr. I). 1!. Bryan, and Professor .1. I.. .Memory. Jr., professors in the department of education. They arc pictured in the dean ' s office, be- cause you guessed it. Dr. Bryan is also dean of the college. Both have important duties in addition to teach ing. Mr. Memory heads the college publicity bureau and docs invaluable service in helping part the wily alumnus fr his dollar.
