OVER in the Johnson Building, two ol the busiest men in Wake Forest these days are Drs. Ora C. Bradbury and Elton C. Cocke, biologists par excellence. With the departure of Instructor Charles M. Allen for the photo- graphic division of the AAF in early November, the task of instructing at least thirty-five per cent of the student body, in addition to planning for the prospective Army pre-medical program, was not one to be dawdled with. The lights in the Johnson Building burn many and late. From his office in the north wing of Lea Laboratory the remaining stalwart of the chemistry department, ever-smiling Dr. W. J. Wyatt, also has a big hand in the training of future medicos. Although the other members of the chemical Big Three. Drs. Black and [shell, have long since begun their duties for Uncle Sam, the department, with the 1942 addition of Instructor John Freeman, is under full sail, leaving Dr. Wyatt plenty of time to haunt the dreams of his Organic students. On the bottom row are the five emancipated garret- dwellers, gentlemen of the English department who lor some veai now have occupied the Alumni Building. third floor back. But over the Christmas holidays they picked up their belongings and moved over to Wait Hall, where Dr. H. B. Jones directs activities from his desk over by the big pendulum clock. Dr. Folk, with pipe and pencil in hand, now uses the big English library table for threshing out knotty problems with publications men. At the other end of the table Professor Aycock, debate coach and art gallery curator, shakes with re- strained mirth at Professor Max Griffins joke, while a short distance away Professor Brown wades through unending stacks of freshman themes.
