AT WAKE FOREST COLLEGE ... + I Nf TtfN -FORTY fIGMT mm •• ' . • - HUBERT McNEILL POTEAT, M.A., Ph.D | HEN one sits down to assay the per- sonality of Hubert McNeill Poteat as a part of Wake Forest, the thing which leaves more impression than any other is the man ' s eloquent love for the school and the things for which it stands. Hubert Poteat was born in Wake Forest and has lived much of his life here. And like his father before him, in the face of many and attractive offers from other and larger institutions, he has stayed here because he has wanted to. Probably no other plan ' s name has become more synonymous with the name of Wake Forest itself than has his during the last generation and a half. He has taught Latin and life here for forty years — taught Latin, to paraphrase Alice Duer Miller, better than college students repay. A ranking classical scholar in this country and rec- ognized abroad, a composer and lover of music, a faithful Mason and fraternity man, Dr. Poteat will longest remain in the memory of the students who have sat in his classes — and there have been thousands of them — as a superb teacher, the sort of man that scholar- ship which is not pedantry creates in its happiest moods. Through the years the Wake Forest Latin class- rooms have become places alive because Poteat is, as the real teacher must be. possessed of a superlative sense of drama — a professor with the soul and the ability of a fine actor. Cicero and Horace, Vergil and Juvenal. Caesar and Livy, Brer Rabbit and L ' ncle Remus and De Lawd from The Green Pastures have be- come under his touch at once alive and unforgettable. Perhaps his students will soon forget the differences between a gerund and a gerundive, but they will never forget his insistence that, in his own words, the verb to teach in Latin takes two accusatives — and the boy comes first. But there is more than this to the great teacher. And this man has drilled learning into our heads with infinite patience and high good humor — learning of the liberal spirit even more than of the letter. Poteat has called us dumbheads and henbrains and illiterates and other such terms of endearment and we ' ve known them to be true to a degree — and we ' ve loved him for having the temerity to address undergraduates in such words. We ' ve watched his bearing and held our heads a little higher, proud we knew him. We ' ve listened to his amazing use of the English language and have trotted to the dictionary the more frequently because of it. We ' ve heard him say, so often, that the older he grows the more quietly assured he becomes of the existence of God and of the immortality of the soul of man — and have because of his leadership been the more emboldened ourselves to seek God. His students have listened to his organ playing and have sung in his choirs and have played chess with him and listened to his yearly reading of The Green Pastures for his literary society, thrilled and reverent. They have looked to him for guidance and have not found it lacking. Hubert McNeill Poteat, at once the terror and the delight of his students, a devoted husband and father (and grandfather), a valued and loyal friend, a great and good man — to him is this issue of the annual of his Alma Mater dedicated with affection and respect. 72134 + -. — rm £j Y OU arc about to see the drama of Wake Forest i College during; the year 1947-1948 as acted by its most renowned personality — the Demon Dea- con. Who is he? He ' s a human being in the very realest sense of the word. Though you have never seen him, he has been with you from the day you entered Wake Forest as a bewildered freshman. You have felt him in your every act of study and play. Be sure to take a good look at him now. Though dressed like one of our sternest Puritan forefathers, a confirmed blue-nose, you will find that this Deacon is a red-blood to the core. No idle dreamer, this little guy really gets around ! His perennial black suit and top hat, A partially hiding a bald head, his grim expression and oversized nose are all definite parts in the kaleido- scopic patterns of his character and personality. He can put you into convulsions with his scintillating wit or he can lead you in quiet meditation. TJ E ' S the little guy who made you feel at home among the magnolias scattered over the beautiful campus; he introduced you to professors whom you learned to love and classmates through whom you gained a new- sense of brotherhood and understanding; he showed you the ivy-covered memorial to Dr. Tom on the north side of the stone wall surrounding the campus. While he revealed to you all the sacred traditions that the college cherishes, he took special care to cultivate in you a spirit of friendliness toward your fellow man and an attitude of reverence toward God. Through him you acquired the spirit of tolerance that permeates the fibers of everything that the Deacon touches. The life around you suddenly became free and unrestrained, your soul released from previous suppressions. Almost unconsciously you found yourselves learning each other ' s name and greeting one another with a cheery Hi! as you strolled along the winding campus paths. A TOST people at Wake Forest College tend to take the Deacon for granted. The little guy becomes such a part of them that it is very easy to let him pass by unnoticed. But since he is not the sort of fellow who wants to shout his own praises from the housetops, he is quite content in doing his many jobs quietly and efficiently. In so doing, he makes his contributions all the greater. He has been in Wake Forest longer than any other person. He was here back in 1834 when the college was founded, he has helped lay the cornerstones of all the buildings, he has attended all the classes, and heard all the stories that have become legends. For one hundred and fourteen years he lias been at once professor, student, and caretaker of a small but powerful Baptist institution. LL these facets of the Deacon ' s personality will be- come evident to you as you look through this book. You will find yourselves reliving with him the big events of the year — yelling your lungs out as you watch his proteges trample the formidable University of North Carolina Tar Heels once on the gridiron and again on the basketball court, attending the Pan-Hellenic dances during the year, registering with the largest group ever to crowd into the college, sledding on the golf course during one of the biggest snows in Wake Forest ' s history, and going to panel discussions during Religious Focus Week. You will find the Deacon participating in student activities, teaching and attending classes, being rewarded for outstanding services (and perhaps be- coming just a little puffed up), taking part in athletics, presenting the tops in Wake Forest ' s faminine pulchri- tude, enjoying himself in the various aspects of campus life, and finally letting go with a great big laugh as he spends a vacation at the exclusive SHAW ' S I XX With Ten Big Stories. TX order to show you how the Demon Deacon did all this in one year we take pleasure in presenting to you this, The 1948 Howler. And once again, who is this guy, the Deacon? He is the living spirit of Wake Forest College that has enabled it to serve effectively for one hundred and fourteen years in accordance with its motto— PRO HUMANITATE.

Kitchin, B.A., M.D, LL.D., F.A.C.P.. President. During a session which has seen Wake Forest almost unbelievably crowded. President Kitchin and Deans Bryan and Johnson have kept the College running under smooth sail. On the campus this year has been the greatest num- ber of students in the history of Wake Forest, and with them have come added problems: from the point of vantage of the President, increased matters of com- plaint and matters of praise from the out-districts of the State and of the nation; from the point of view of the Deans of Men and Women, problems not so much of discipline as of housing and recreation and general morale. These three have been instrumental in maintaining for Wake Forest the much that remains of the feeling we had here when we were really a small school, during the first years of the war — the camaraderie, the warm feeling inside when one sees another Wake Forester in a strange place, the sudden realizati on of how good it is to be here, that wonderful habit of speaking to one ' s fellow -students and to the townspeople as a matter of both habit and desire; the sudden realization of what Wake Forest is — a sort of haven to which to come and be a little while sheltered from the strong wind, in which to learn and grow and to breathe in, as it were un- Daniel B.

Patterson, B.A., Registrar wittingly, the spirit of liberal learning; and the spirit of wide service, as our motto says — in behalf of the human race. With these three guiding general policy. Wake Forest has approached more closely, this year, our goals for the future. Although general policy must be administered by the President and the Deans of Men and Women, many small details fall within the bailiwick of other officials of the school.

Stress and crowding — in most cases overcrowding — has been a theme running through the year 1947-48 at Wake Forest, as it has at all schools. And nowhere is it more noticable than in a study of the various de- partments of the College. The Lea Laboratory building, which houses the chemical paraphernalia, laboratories, classrooms, chem- istry faculty and students, is an old, ivy-covered build- ing which looks as though it grew from the earth of the campus as naturally as did the oaks and magnolias. The William Amos Johnson Building, which houses the department of biology, is more modern, constructed of brick and concrete and steel, which has not been here long enough to gather moss and ivy. True to form, the windows of these buildings have glowed late nights this year — generally with the lights used by pre-medics poring over embryos and dead cits and test-tubes and Bunsen burners. For here is the haunt of those students preparing to enter medical schools and those who are training to teach the sciences. Here, this year as every year, those students have re- ceived thorough training in both scientific theory and practice. H. Grady Britt, M.A., Ph.D Assistant ' Professor of Bit THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCES When the Law School came back home to this campus a couple of years ago. the department ol social sciences — history, government, economics, sociology — moved itself bag and baggage from the top flooi oi tin- Library Building into the Social Sciences Building, where it seems settled for a reasonably long stay. This building seems as much a center of the campus as does Wait Hall. Downstairs (with the exception ol one professor ' s office) the College Book Store, the Mono- gram Club room and the publications offices are located. Most of the students, in fact, spend a good deal more time in this than in any other building on the campus. Upstairs one may find the classrooms of the depart- ment — worn with the long usage of time and much learning, surely, but still intact enough to be sat in and taught in. No other building on the campus seems so appropriate for the study of the past — the dark walls and high ceilings well fit ponderous volumes of history and stern floods of fact.

Stroupe, M.A., Ph.D., U ; the Heart of the College WAIT HALL The new Wait Hall, rebuilt alter the century-old unc burned in the middle 1930 ' s, is among the most distinguished of the campus buildings, from the stand- point of both architectural dignity and tradition. In it are located most of the administrative offices of the College; when we were at a low ebb in number of students during the second World War, it housed the centers of the liberal arts schools (excepting music and religion). The English office was a welcome haven on the mezzanine; at the north end on the first floor were the Latin and Greek offices and classrooms, on the second and third floors were the mathematics offices. On the top floor are still located the depart- ment of psychology and philosophy and the meeting- halls of the Euzelian and the Philomathesian Literary Societies. When the new conditions of stress after the War made a sudden need for expansion, the offices of both Registrar and Bursar ate their way through the walls of the first floor north, devouring the classrooms of Latin and Greek and the Latin office; though Professor Earp still keeps his office there. Professors of education, Memory and Bryan are leaching their courses in the building, and keep offices there. Gene W.

Poteat, M.A., Ph.D., Prqfessoi oj Lain, The department of philosophy, on the south end of the third floor, a neighbor of the hall of the historic Euzelian Literary Society, is superbly equipped. The Bernard Spilman seminar room, furnished with several desks and a large conference table, shelves a fine phi- losophical collection. Here Professors Reid and Helm hold forth through the thick and thin of delicate philosophical discussion and here they guide bewildered students through the labyrinths of psychological analyses. On the floors below, the teachers of French and Spanish hold their classes (shunting German and Greek off to the Music-Religion building). Dean of Women Lois Johnson and Professor of French Harold Parcell, with Instructors Mrs. Sam Tarleton, Mrs. Paul Mabe and Walter Harris, teach a large group of students of French. Miss Nell Dowtin, with Instructors Delgado and Watts, teaches Spanish; while Professor of German O ' Flaherty teaches that subject — irregular verbs and all. Dr. Hubert Poteat ' s classes in Latin are held in this end of the building; he shares an office on the ground floor with Dr. Parcell. L ' pstsirs, on the second floor, are the cubicles in which the other instructors stay between classes. In the rotunda (on the south side) are the offices of Dr. Kitchin, Dean Bryan and Dean Johnson. The changes in Wait Hall are characteristic of the many necessary shifts from one place to another during the last few years on this campus, to make room for the expanded work Myron L.

The Departments of Religion and Music The Music-Religion building, most recently-con- structed of the classroom buildings on the campus, con- tains, on the first floor, the offices of the Dean of the school of Religion, Dr. Sankey Lee Blanton, and of the other professors in the department. Here also are taught the courses in religious history, literature and theoretical theology. Drs. Easley, Love- lace and Herring, Instructors Glass and Scofield, with Dr. Blanton, complete the staff. On the first floor, in addition to the classrooms, are a religion library and the small chapel, a well-appointed auditorium in which various religious gatherings are held. The basement houses a recreation room, a kitchen and a small room in which Baptist Student L ' nion committee meetings are held. Here is the nucleus of the teaching of religion — as a subject — in the classroom. But religion is to be seen everywhere in the life of Wake Forest College, which has not strayed from its lights of a forward-moving and wide spirit since the day it first opened its doors. On the second floor of this same building is the home of Wake Forest ' s department of music. In a large central room our superb Glee Club rehearses, under the direction of Professor of Music Thane McDonald. Here too are classrooms and practice rooms, with the playing of records and pianos and the rehearsal of sopranos, basses, a contralto and occasionally one for- lorn tuba all combining in a din which gives the proper conservatory atmosphere to the place at any hour of the day and many of the night. The Wake Forest music department is another of the outstanding examples of the beautiful achievement of a school which has been small but is growing rapidly — both in quality and in size. The Departments of English and Physics Certain members of the English department are fond of telling how its head. Dr. H. B. Jones, was ac- costed shortly after the departments of English and physics took over the old Alumni Building. I v .1 stu- dent looking for Dr. Speas. Dr. Jones looked around the third-floor English offices, then turned to the boy and said: Downstairs, sir. The physics department never gets this close to heaven. The Alumni Building is one of Wake Forest ' s most ancient relics. First used as medical classrooms when the School of Medicine was located there, it was closed for some time, but finally had to be re-opened to accom- modate classes in physics and English. Drs. Speas and Parker have the first floor to them- selves, their students and their apparatus, and they share part of the second floor with English classrooms. The third floor holds the English offices, conference and seminar rooms and the Little Theatre room, which also served in the Spring semester as a Shakespeare classroom for a record 76-member class. Perhaps because of the unity of interests, perhaps because of the fact that more than two-thirds of the enrolled student body have taken English courses each semester this year, this department is one of the most pleasantly-remembered of the sections of the liberal arts school. Its gentle, generous, pipe-smoking staff work together in a concord which is pleasant to behold — and a joy under which to work. Summarizing, a tour of the departments and the buildings of the academic Wake Forest, points out strikingly that in 1947-1948 the institution, as a school, has labored under stern conditions, and has kept at the same high level its outstanding grade of achievement.

THE SENIOR CLASS It cannot be s.iid for many members of the Senior Class of 1948 that their college careers have been marked by four successive, uneventful years spent in quiet study and play among the ivy-covered, familiar buildings of the magnolia-studded Wake Forest College campus. Many are veterans who have attended Wake Forest previously as long ago as 1935. whose education has been interrupted and who have returned to their college to continue their preparation for service in chosen fields. In spite of the crowded classroom and living con- ditions created in Wake Forest as in almost every other educational institution in the U. S. today by the terrific influx oi students, the members of the Senior Class, the largest ever to be candidates for degrees, have demonstrated as well-nigh unprecedented seriousness in their curricular and extra-curricular endeavor. Well represented in every phase of campus activity, the class had many worthy leaders. They elected capable classmates to lead them through the year: Kermit ( laldwell of Maiden, President; Wallace Harvey ol Greensboro, Vice President; and Beth Jones of North W ' ilkesboro, Secretary-Treasurer. In athletics, publi- cations, religious activity, forensics, dramatics, music, student government, and fraternities, members of the Senior Class have made invaluable contributions that have been keenly felt and will be greatly missed in the ensuing years. More significant than the contribution to Wake Forest College by the Seniors will be the lasting effects of Wake Forest on the Class in shaping its members and preparing them for the problems of life lying ahead. Long after the departure from its hallowed buildings and winding walks, they will look back with tender nostalgia upon the ' bull sessions in their rooms, the midnight Hips to Shorty ' s, the juke box in P. D. ' s. the confusion at the postoffice doors, the joy of approach- ing vacations, the panic of long hours spent in cramming for horrid exams the night before, the unrelenting fury of beloved profs — a thousand little things. As the Senior Class marches away from Wake Forest College, the drudgeries and irritations of its college career will be forgotten, the many joys recalled as it thrills to familiar strains of Dear old Wake forest, thine is a noble name. . . . • m m CLIFTON LEON ALLEN B.S. r.

In an election con- ducted by the Senior Class to determine its members ' choice of the ten most outstanding to appear in the 1948 Howler, those pictured on this p age emerged by majority votes. To select ten such seniors oul of a field of over two hundred proved to be no simple task, as the two meetings re- quired for this purpose attested. As would be expected, nearly every phase of campus activity is represented by prominent senior leaders. Outstanding in student government are Kennit Cald- well, President of the Senior Class, and Reda Cm- stead, President of the Woman ' s Government Asso- rt Ca Studen Legis- School ciation. From the field of athletics are Nick Ognovich, scrappy three-time winner of the Jacobs Blocking Trophy and big Bob Leonetti, stellar gridiron guard for the Deacons. Promi- nent in athletics and publications is Herbert Appenzeller. I he best represented field is publications with Jesse Glasgow, Publi- cations Board President, and the editors of Old Cold and Black, The Stu- dent, and The Howler; Bynum Shaw, Bill Robbins, and Campbell McMillan, respectively. Representing re- ligious activity is Tommy Stapleton, local and state B.S.U. officer, and a respected leader in many other campus endeavors as well. a . . . beeg ma n . . . guard 1 tggie . .

Back to School After Half a Century The beginning of the fall semester of 1947 was not only marked by the largest registration in the 114- year history of Wake Forest College but it also was rendered singular by the entrance into school of Eustace Norfleet. who returned to finish his college career after leaving Wake Forest previously in 1892. Norfleet was studying pre-law as a sophomore in that vear when it became necessary that he return to Wilmington. North Carolina, his home, because of sickness in the family. For the next fifty-six years he performed such varied tasks as working in the lumber business, becoming a self-tutored bookkeeper, serving as manager of one of the first printing establishments in Wilmington, and later managing his own printing press, from which he has now retired. Although he had planned to return to Wake Forest for some time, it was only at such a time as his business would allow- that he could do so. The Wake Forest College student body has count- ed it a real privilege to have once again Eustace Norfleet — its most distinguished special student. CLASS OFFICERS: Bill Sherrill, Vice Pn Charles Medi.in, President. THE JUNIOR CLASS Having become pretty thoroughly indoctrinated in the Wake Forest College traditions after the two previous years in the new-ish and Sophomore stages, the Junior Class demonstrated its increasingly vital role in campus life and activities. Looking toward their Senior year, the members of the class evidenced a growing dignity and sense of responsibility that led many of them into important and respected positions. After a hard-waged political battle in the spring of 10,47. the Junior Class was led by efficient officers in Charles Medlin of Greensboro, President; Bill Sherrill of Statesville, Vice President; and John Rip Burgess of Ahoskie, Secretary-Treasurer. Besides prominence in the many phases of campus activities, the Juniors boasted of a scintillating brain- trust in such men and women as Judson Trueblood, Bobby Orr, Grace McElveen. P. A. Cline. Walter Friedenberg, Dorothyjones, Ivan Holleman, and others. In the field of athletics the Juniors were well repre- sented on the gridiron by such stalwarts as James Bud Lail and Harry Dowda from Hickory, leather-sling- ing Tom Fetzer of Reidsville, and Sidney Martin of Raleigh, husky tackle. John Red O ' Quinn snagged footballs and basketballs from September to March while veteran basketballer Willard Kaylor amazed Southern Conference fans with his uncanny set shots. Joe Fulghum was outstanding on the baseball diamond. In the field of publications the Juniors were repre- sented by such dependable stand-by ' s as Bob Grogan, Judson Trueblood, Walt Friedenberg, and George Mallonee. Juniors were prominent as well in religious ac- tivities, student government and music, dramatics, and forensics. Rewarded for outstanding service in extra-curricular activity were Mack Parrish, almost a habit in Monday chapel programs, and Bill Moody, outstanding in dramatics, who were elected to Omicron Delta Kappa. Similarly rewarded among Junior women were Grace McElveen and Dot Jones, who wnr elected to the newly-established Tassels. The Juniors are looking forward to an even more fruitful year in K149. From all past indications, the college won ' t be disappointed. £j m q p. « ® 74 JUNIORS First row, left to right: Third row: Gloria Abernethv, Granite Falls Lloyd W.

THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Returning to school perhaps a little dazed at the thought of release from the green cloak of the previous year, the Sophomore Class soon began to adjust itself to its new sense of freedom and familiarity with Wake Forest customs and traditions. Taking pride in a growing realization of the college ' s need for their best work, the members plunged into the campus activities and proved themselves worthy of reward lor outstand- ing service. Elected to lead this class thorugh the year were Bob Drake of Wilson. President; John Gibson of Valdosta, Georgia, Vice President; and Harry Douglass of Raleigh. Secretary-Treasurer. Particularly outstanding services were rendered by the Sophomores in the field of athletics. The football talent unloaded upon the college by the 1948 crew re- minded old-timers of the flaming Sophomores of 1938 which boasted such Wake Forest gridiron im- mortals as Gallovich. Polanski, Givler. and Kapriva. Equally sensational have been men like Tony DiTomo. ace runner and passer, Ed Bradley and Jim Duncan, as rugged a pair of ends as Southern Conference fans have ever seen perform, George Pryor. hard-charging joo-pound fullback, and will-o ' -the-wisp Carl Haggard. In basketball, the sophs boasted of Jack Gentry, co- captain sharpshooter, who was a leading scorer in virtually every game. In baseball. Russ Batchelor and Yern Mustian formed a familiar battery combination, Batchelor behind the plate catching Mustian ' s curves. Charlie Teague became famous for his second-base wizardry. Prominent in publications were Herb Paschal. Johnny Dillon, and Ed Friedenberg. who performed outstanding services for the Old Gold and Blaek and the HOWLER. In such persons as Pete Caudle, Jewell Adams, and Roll Drake the sophs gained prominence in various phases of student government, Pete Caudle also prov- ing himself a rising debater in his work with forensics. In dramatics the class was represented by Mich Little Theater stand-by ' s as Vivian Snuggs. Emily Olive, Margaret Grumpier, and Jewell Adams. With an abundance of persons whose talent and dependability have been so effectively demonstrated, the school may expect even greater contributions from the Sophomore Class members as they move on- ward through Wake Forest College soon to carve their names upon her ancient walls. . . . fc« flr ttk irt r ft £5} IS} CI q C af) 4 rt ( % s r p o a ' ft ft a SOPHOMORES vm row, , (o « : Coyte G.

CLASS OFFICERS THE FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman Class introduced itself to the college with a hotly contested political campaign that was carried on by various aspirants to the positions of President, Vice President, and Secretary-Treasurer. No wide-eyed greenhorns to college ways were these new-ish as they so capably proved in the very onset of their college careers. For over a week decorated cars bearing large, gaudy banners careened around the campus, much to the dismay of the local militia, everyone suddenly was smoking rum crooks, and huge drapes and auspicious signs heralded the compen- sations for the election of the various candidates. A new twist was introduced by Carol Oldham, seeking election to the office of Secretary-Treasurer, when the quiet dignity of a chapel program was abruptly in- terrupted one morning by a barrage of rubber balloons marked Oldham for Sec-Treas which were tin- leased by her zealous campaign manager Shirley Her- rington. Since it was a student chapel program no feelings were hurl, and the stunt gave the SPl and PFP some food for thought as well as Carol Oldham the office of Secretary-Treasurer. Others elected were Bob Mauney of Richfield, President; and Dave Clark of Greenville, Vice President. Incidentally, Miss Old- ham is from Gulf, as witnesses to the vigorous cam- paign will remember. After such a fast start, the Freshman Class could not but soon find itself an established part of Wake Forest College. Showing signs of being one of the most able ever to pass through its portals, the neophytes soon infiltrated into every phase of campus activity, proving themselves unexpectedly industrious and tal- ented. Particular standouts were perhaps those in the field of sports. In football, the name of Bill Gregus was whispered in all corners of the Southern Conference. In the Boston College game another find was evidenced ' in the 26-yard touchdown dash of Lou Pollacci. In basketball, three newcomers. Jack Mueller, uncanny dribbler from Jcffersonville, Indiana, his high school teammate, Walt Schlosser, and Stan Najeway of Arnold, Pennsylvania, were valuable additions to the previous combination of O ' Quinn, Walters, Gentry, Kaylor, and Patton. And we must not overlook the fancy strutting of pretty Virginia Dickens in front of the marching band nor the journalistic endeavors of Dave Clark and Carol Oldham in the Old Gold and Black. In every other phase of campus activity the fresh- men have demonstrated their real value to Wake Forest College. They will be heard from again — and everyone is looking forward to it!

A III The LAW SCHOOL W! t% I mHP Tin- Heck-Will of the Law School The Wake Forest School of Law was established as a department of the College in 1894 and its first in- structor was the late Needham Yancey Gulley, of whom it has been said that he wrote most of the body of the law of the State of North Carolina. In little more than a half-century the Law School has grown from a small beginning to a respectable present status. Six full-time instructors may seem a small number, but six able men can adequately teach all the legal business the number of law students the present physical plant will admit can study. The School occupies its own quarters on the campus and possesses an extraordinarily well-chosen and ade- quate library. It is fully approved by all state and national accrediting agencies. Since the time of its inception, the Wake Forest College School of Law has had one primary stated purpose — to train young men (and now young women as well) for the practice of law in North Carolina, although at the present stage of its growth ample fa- cilities are also provided for students who may expect to practice in other jurisdictions — there are, in fact, at present several able recent graduates of the School making outstanding names for themselves in law through the South and the nation. The ideals of the School of Law for achieving this primary purpose requires, the administration has said, several things: the minimum of preliminary education in order to insure an intellectual maturity and a cul- tural background against which legal problems can be seen in their social, economic and moral aspects as well as in their purely legal setting; second, a study- while in the School of the theories and applications of the doctrines of the Anglo-American common law system and their statutory modification; and, third, emphasis on local applications of, and departures from.

The instruction in the Law School is not confined to the mere imparting of information, but it aims to develop the student ' s reasoning powers, his ability to present and argue legal propositions, and his sense of pro fessional ethics and of the duties of a lawyer to society. Our College is a small school as universities go, but its prestige and distinguished influence in the mak- ing of law in this State must not be underestimated on account of its size. A Carolina judge recently said in this connection that the boards which give exami- nations for admission to the liar are looking forward to the time in which it will be unnecessary to fail any man taking the examination — the very high standards of the law schools should take care of weeding out the candidates who are unable to make the grade. This graduate school, like all of Wake Forest College, has been made the outstanding institution it is by the influence of the personalities of a number of great and remarkable men who have lived and taught here. When the Law School ' s founder. Dr. Needham Y. Culley, was buried two or three years ago, the out- standing lawyers of the state, many of them his stu- dents, gathered to pay respect to the memory of the man and to attest his impact as a teacher on the whole State. Long in the history of the Law School the name of a professor still teaching has loomed large, that of Pro- fessor Edgar W. Timberlake, Jr., and today with him rank the names of Drs. Beverly Lake and Dean Robert Lee. During the year 1947-48 the honorary groups of law students have gained membership in a national legal fraternity, and the attention of the campus has been focused on the group for both academic achieve- ment and campus leadership. An important part of the faculty members ' role in instilling the law into the minds of the students has been their assistance with the Moot Court program, which has served as a laboratory for legal practice. ilH }J lnk£JL Jj«feMJ.5 I 1. . •-« •.

The enrollment has now reached tin- point where lor the first time, the association can function in the manner in which it was intended. It is now to the student what the regular Bar Association is to the practitioner- in some respects more so. The most notable achievement ol the Association this year has been the inauguration of Moot Court. A committee of the faculty, composed of Professors Menard, Soule, and Hartman, prepared hypothetical cases, and students prepared briefs, presenting oral arguments on court nights. During the year a series of Appellate Moot Courts were held in which North t larolina legal procedure was followed. The cases covered a wide range of legal problems and gave those participating an opportunity to put into practice what they had been learning in the classroom. The experi- ence of actual argument before a simulated high court was invaluable. Interest and attendance was excel- lent— the simulated courtroom often overflowing. Much credit is due Larry Williams, the President of the Student Bar Association, and the Mool Court Com- mittee composed of Ed Gavin, Frank Howard, and Bernard Hollowell. for the success of the undertaking. A number of outstanding men of the profession were secured (0 address the Association on various aspects of the law. Included in this group were Attorney General McMullan and Associate Justice Denny, who also served as justices as previously mentioned, and the renowned author of the text on Torts, Professor William I.. Prosser of Harvard University. A GLIMPSE INTO LAW SCHOOL The entire second floor of the Heck- ' illiams Li- brary, which is devoted exclusively to the Law School. contains the library, offices of the faculty, classrooms, and a student study room. Typically, a short tenure in ihe Law School greatly changes the student who arrives from the academic division whether he came in awe. in fear, or in exuberance. First he becomes acclimatized to life in a law school. The press of the work is heavy, far heavier, than he had ever before imagined. He learns that there is little or no time for movies, dates, or week and trips. The professors are demanding, the pace furious. There are cases to analyze, texts to read, legal terms to be- come familiar with, distinctions to be found, and briefs to write. He finds that from early in the morning until late at night the law commands all of his attention. Through this maze of strangeness the new student struggles bravely but desperately during the first semester until examination week. When the student begins the second semester, much of the strangeness and confusion melts away, a glimmer of understanding breaking through the horizon. Princi- ples learned previously appear again and again in different branches. Though still complex, the general pattern of the law begins to weave into his mind. As semesters go by. the law student learns to use the library without help, to draw up legal documents, to carry out research, and to take an active part in the Moot Courts. He finds valuable comradeship by association with his classmates who are undergoing the same problems, probably joining either of the two legal fraternities — Phi Delta Phi or Phi Alpha Delta — and in general deriving real benefit from the oppor- tunities available to him as a student of law. Then, after three years of devotion to study, he receives his LL.B. and qualifies to become a lawyer, a part of a i lass which is the greatest guardian of our American heritage of liberty and freedom. ■1 Top: William Prosser, Dean of the Law School of University and author of Prosser Torts, addresses the Law School as Pro- fessoi Menard and Judge Will Pless look on: lower left: Judge Pless and Dean Prosser pose for a picture during visit to Wake Forest: lower right: Robert McNeily and Frank Todd learn the law in the Phi Alpha Delta library.

Phi Alpha Delta was founded in 1898 by a group of law students in Chicago, Illinois. The group was com- posed of students from the Chicago College of Law (Blackstone Chapter) and the Kent College of Law (Kent Chapter). Its fundamental purpose is to cultivate a closer bond of friendship between members and the attainment of a higher and broader culture than that afforded by the regular college course, to foster, under the influence of intimate friendships, those principles that tend to form a higher type of manhood, and to promote objectives which will enable them to become competent and worthy members ol the legal profession. The Wake Forest Chapter was named for Edgar W. Timberlake, Professor of Law at Wake Forest College since 1906, following the custom of Phi Alpha Delta in naming local chapters for distinguished mem- bers of the legal profession. Installation ceremonies were conducted October 14, in the chapter room with Rutledge Chapter from Duke L T niversity and Ruflin Chapter from the L ' niversity of North Carolina partici- pating, followed by a banquet at Gresham ' s Lake honoring Professor Timberlake. The local chapter, before becoming affiliated with Phi Alpha Delta, was established as Beta Gamma Chapter of Gamma Eta Gamma, active since 1927 except during the war years. Reorganizing with three members and lour pledges in the spring of 1946 at Duke University, while the Wake Forest and Duke Law Schools were operating jointly, it has grown to twenty-six members and eighteen pledges. Among its members have been found many of the most out- standing leaders in every field of extra-curricular ac- tivity on the campus; it numbers among its alumni many prominent barristers of the state and nation. The chapter has its own house located on the corner of Faculty Avenue across from Simmons Dormitory. The house has a well-furnished chapter room, a study room, and living quarters for thirty-five men. which are reserved for members, pledges, and other law stu- dents. Located in the study room is the law library in which the chapter takes great pride. Since its be- ginning in the fall of 1946, i( has grown and is still growing through contributions oi members, pledges, and alumni. The pledge list includes Talmadge Carter, Bruce McDonald. William F. McCloud, Fred N. Sigman, Robert F. Babb, George M. Anderson, James A. Boyd, Wilbur T. Pickleseimer, Marshal Hartsfield, William B. Beam, Stanley J. Come, Baxter Finch. Max Ruppe, Edward Burton, Robert Morgan, Carl L. Bailey, James G. White, and Charles H. Randleman. The principal project undertaken by the chapter this year was the securing of the services of Mrs. J. C. O ' Flaherty to do a portrait of Dr. Edgar W. Timber- lake to be hung in the chapter room. The finished product, shown on the lower right of this page, has elicited favorable comment from many visitors and friends of the fraternity. Plans for the following year include the setting up of a building fund and the con- tacting of Gamma Eta Gamma ' s and taking them into the fraternity as alumni members. Officers for the past year were Charles Folger, Justice; Zeno Rose. Vice Justice; Jack Canady. Treasurer; and Hugh Cullom, Clerk. Officers for the coming year who came into office after the Christmas vacation are Fitzhugh Wallace, Justice; Hugh Cullom, Nice Justice; Joe Horton, Treasurer; and Henry Harrison, Clerk. The beneficial contributions of Phi Alpha Delta to (he school can lie demonstrated by services of such men as Jack Canady, Paul Bell, Warren Casey, Frank Todd, and others. The adviser, Dr. Lake was honored in the spring by initiation into Phi Beta Kappa. Top left Prof Men, id speaks to m ■ml era an 1 visit! ra 1 ,1 I ' ll Alpha Delta sit oker.

PHI DELTA PHI .! „ ,. RuHin Inn of Phi Delta Phi was installed .11 ake Forest College on December li, H147. Its beginning can be traced to the fall oi 1946 when Willis Gup- ton, former Phi Delta Phi from Hughes Inn located at Duke Uni- versity, began a local legal fraternity known as Phi Beta Nu on the Wake Forest campus. This organization grew and quickly established itself on the campus by winning the scholarship award given to the legal organization having the highest scholastic average in the law school. In the summer the local order petitioned Phi Delta Phi for admission and under the able guidance oi Prof ssor A. M. Menard Phi Beta u became Phi Delta Phi. The inn was named Ruftin in honor of Thomas Ruffin, a very capable and ciis- tinguished North Carolina jurist of the 19th century. Representing our organization at the 28th Annual Convention of Phi Delta Phi, held in picturesque Glacier Park, Montana, from September third through sixth, with Horace Kornegay, President of the Wake Foresl College Student Body and a member of Phi Beta Nu and I. any Williams, also a member of Phi Beta Nu and President of the Wake Forest College Student Bar Association. Worthy representatives of the local order, these two men presented the petition at the convention and were primarily responsible for the acceptance of Phi Beta Nu as a chapter of Phi Delta Phi. which is the oldest legal fraternity and the only international one. The installation cere mony took place in the Senate Chamber of the Capitol in Raleigh. North Carolina, on December 6, 1947. Officiating at this ceremony wis William I.. Prosser, a noted author of legal texts and distinguished member of Phi Delta Phi. At the banquet held later in the evening .11 the S W Cafe- teria the principal speaker was Federal Judge John J. Parker, whose message was memorable. The in- stallation was attended by the brothers from Hughes and Vance Inns from Duke University and the Uni- versity of North Carolina respectively. Those who were elected to lead the Wake Forest chapter, Ruffin Inn. of Phi Delta Phi during its infancy and development were William H. Harris of Norwood, Magister; Wade H. Childs of Lincolnton, Exchequer; Everette C. Carnes of Four Oak-. Historian: and Thomas S. Johnston oi West Jefferson, Clerk. Men pledging the chapter were Clyde Douglass, Kermit Caldwell, C. G. Powell. Donald Thompson, Robert Davis, Bruce Davis. The officers of the fraternity for the coming year are Kenneth Hite. Magister: Charles Hosteller, Clerk; and Hamp Childs, Exchequer. Members of Phi Delta Phi have performed con- spicuous service to the college. Horace Dagwood Kornegay, in addition to serving dining the past year as president of the student body was elected to the presidency of the Wake Forest Student Bar Association, is a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, and Who ' s Who. The past president of the Bar Association was also Phi Delta Phi. Larry Williams, also in ODK and Who ' s Who. Other officers for the coming year are Warren Coble, president of the Third Year Class; Henry Hull. Vice President, and Gene Coir. Secretary-Treasurer of the class also. Representative to the Student Council fr Law School will be Charles Hostetler and representative to the Student Legislature, Clyde Douglass. Henry Huff is nationally recognized as an outstand- ing college debater; he is a member of ODK and Who ' s Who. Kermit Caldwell, past president of the Senior Class, is likewise in ODK and Who ' s Who. Dick Williams was business manager during the past year of OG B, is in ODK. Bob Lacey was editor of Law School section for The Howler; Tom Muse will be assistant business manager for OG£?B next Ruffin Inn is greatly indebted to the cooperation of the law school faculty in helping it to become estab- lished. The aid and advice accorded at all times by Professor Menard was particularly invaluable. After such an auspicious start, the chapter is looking forward to forthcoming years of great progress and accomplish- ment. Professor A. R.

Stroupe S ' , retary-Treasurei The Omicron Delta Kappa Fraternity was founded December 3. 1914 at Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia. There in the tradition of the idealism and leadership of George Washington and Robert E. I. re. fifteen student and faculty leaders formulated the idea that all-round leadership should be recognized, that representative men in all phases of college life should cooperate in worthwhile endeavor, and that outstanding student and faculty members should meet on a basis of mutual interest and under- standing. The Beta Alpha Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa was established on the Wake Forest College campus in it) ;n with twenty-five students and professors as charter members. These campus leaders were the actual members at that time of Golden Bough, a local honor society. Since its founding, the Beta Alpha circle has sought to add as members tins:- who distinguish themselves in the five phas?s of campus life: scholar- ship, athletics; social and religious activities; publi- cations, speech, music, and dramatics. The nature and frequency of the Omicron Delta Kappa circle programs are determined by the campus needs and conditions, A greal deal of sjlid work is carried on quietly in discussions, conferences, and through the leadership and influence of individual members in their respective groups and organizations. The Beta Alpha circle has realized that the problems of a student body are felt most keenly by the leaders of the various activities. It has. therefore worked through these leaders to solve campus problems and to make the college more worthy of its name. Wake Foresi College faculty members are A. L. Aycock. F. W. Clouts, E. B. Earnshaw, C. B. Earp, E. E. Folk. T. D. Kitchin. T. E. McDonald. ' .]. L. Memory, Jr., J. W. Nowell, E. I. Olive. H. M. Poteat. E. (J. Rea, A. C. Reid. and H. S.

The selection of students for Who ' s Who is accomp- lished through the work of a special committee composed ol both students and faculty members appointed by the Dean of the college or university, as the case may In-- The members are carefully selected on the basis of their outstanding participation in campus life: stu- dents who have completed two years of college work are eligible for consideration. The chief purpose of the organization is to serve as an incentive for students to get the most out of their college career. It also serves as a means of compen- sation to students for what they have already done, and it establishes a reference volume of authoritative information on the great body of outstanding students in the universities and colleges throughout the United States. Men and women elected to Who ' s Who hold no meetings, elect no officers, and have no definite pattern of organization. Membership is purely an honor. ■ ' ,;. row, left to right; Samuel Behrends, Jr.. Ralph W. Bland, Glenn W. Brown, B. Kermit Caldwell, Harry G. Clark. Jesse E. Glasgow. Secondrow: Dorothy L.

TASSELS Tassels is the local leadership society lor women, corresponding to Omicron Delta Kappa, national leadership fraternity for men. Realizing the need for such an organization on the Wake Forest campus, the local chapter of ODK secured information regarding Mortar Board, national leadership society for women. On the basis of this information, a committee from the Beta Alpha Circle of ODK collaborated with the Dean of Women and the faculty to select women for charter membership in the proposed society. Seven women were called to the office of Dean Johnson in May, 1947, for the purpose of forming an organization. A constitution was drawn up and a point system for extra-curricular activities adopted. The constitution and a list of members were presented to the faculty and approved. From that time on, Tassels has maintained an independent existence as an honorary leadership society. Leadership on the campus is the primary consideration for membership in this organization. Other qualifi- cations are character, scholarship, and demonstrated service to the college. Only women from the junior and senior classes are eligible to become members. The chief aim of the society therefore is to recognize women who have attained a high standard of leader- ship in their collegiate careers and to encourage them to continue their work and inspire others to strive for similar attainments. The society also brings together women representing all phases of college life, thus creating an organization which aids in the fair con- sideration of questions of intramural interest. ifL yw ri | f , f J?} fill rooi, (e i lo right: wards.

THE MONOGRAM CLUB Refounded in 1938 by Frank McCarthy and other outstanding athlete at Wake Forest College who felt the need for an honorary athletic organization, the Monogram Club has as its aim the furtherance of good sportsmanship and friendliness among the student body and the building up of a fraternal spirit among the athletes. In addition, the Monogram Club, exist- ing as the official students ' organ of college athletics, seeks to develop better relationships between Wake Forest College and the schools with which it competes in the various sports. Located in the Student Center, opposite the College Book Store, the Monogram Club Room is the familiar stamping grounds of the men who represent Deacon- land on the gridiron, on the basketball floors, on the baseball diamond, on the golf course and tennis courts, and on the track held. Under the leadership of Richard Bud Wcdel the Club enjoyed a good year marked by outstanding contributions by its men which have been keenly felt. I he absence of seniors who have been outstanding will be particularly noticed in the ensuing years. Clyde Whitener, senior from Morganton helped to keep intramural athletics on the right track as chairman of the Intramural Athletic Council. Voted by the Senior Class as two of the ten most outstanding were Nick Ognovich, of Uniontovvn, Pa., who this year won his third Jacobs Blocking Trophy and Bob Leonetti of Mt. Carmel, Pa., redoubtable Deacon gridiron guard. Leading the football team through its season were Co-Captains Harry Clark and Ed Royston, who both made Who ' i Who Among Students in American Uni- versities and Colleges along with Clyde Whitener. Fa- miliar during the basketball season was tall, rangy Deran Walters who was a dominant factor in lead- ing the Deacons to the Conference Tournament in Durham. George Edwards closed out his baseball career at Wake Forest and Bob Brooks, Daddy Behm Nub Forde (not pictured above), and Jon McLean served as capable managers of the football team. The Monogram Club looks ahead with hopes for even better years to come, as the successful year of 1947- 1948 rolls on by. Front row, left to right: Ruth Billi K- Constance Weeks, Mildred Morton!

GAMMA SIGMA EPSILON The Gamma Sigma Epsilon Honorary Chemical Fraternity was founded at Davidson College in 191 9. The foundation of this organization grew out of the need to help and lead students toward a more serious study of Chemistry and to bring together a group of interested students fostering a better spirit of cooper- ation and understanding between them. The Alpha Gamma chapter of Gamma Sigma Epsilon was installed at Wake Forest in [926 and is a direct descendent of the Lavoisier Chemical Society. Membership in the society is based upon worthy char- acter, high scholarship and interest in chemistry, and promise of usefulness to the fraternity. PHYSICS CLUB The Wake Forest Physics Club was organized No- vember 6, 1947, by a group of students interested in advanced physics with the aid of Dr. W. E. Speas and Dr. H. M. Parker. The objects of the club arc ( 1 ) to serve as a means of awarding distinction to stu- dents having high scholarship and the promise of achievement in physics. (2) to promote student interest in research and the advanced study of the subject. (■■;) to encourage a professional spirit and friendship among those who have displayed marked ability in physics, and (4) to popularize interest in physics in the general collegiate public. The primary goal of the academic year has been to meet the standards of Sigma Pi Sigma, national honor- ary physics fraternity. Much progress has been made toward this end, and the local club expects soon to be incorporated with Sigma Pi Sigma in the near future. The fraternity, through its bi-monthly meetings, brings interested students into close contact with prob- lems in chemistry by discussing outstanding and signifi- cant results of recent chemical research. Lectures are presented by members and guest speakers who have made important contributions in the various aspects of the field of chemistry. These lectures are open to the entire student body in an effort to advance the interest of chemistry on the campus. Faculty members serving in the interest ol the fra- ternity are Drs. C. S. Black, H. B. Miller, and J. W. Nowell. These men have been instrumental in further- ing the fraternity ' s aims. Left to right: Dr. Hermon Parker, Milton Tart, C. C. Warren. |r.

AMOS JOHNSON PREMEDICAL SOCIETY The William Amos Johnson Premedical Society was formed as a result of a meeting of twenty premedical students and the science department advisers on March 12, 1947. This meeting was an outgrowth of the opinion of the members belonging to the existing pre- medical fraternity, Gamma Nu Iota, that this organi- zation lacked the cooperation and interest necessary for success. With the active support of Drs. O. C. Bradbury and B. E. Smith, premedical advisers, these students formed a constitution and by-laws which included a secret ritual and initiation ceremony. On June 6, 1047. the group petitioned and received formal recognition from the Executive Committee and the College Administration. The objects of the Society are to foster high aca- demic standards among the premedical students and to stimulate interest and knowledge in subjects per- taining to the medical profession. Meetings of the Society are held every two weeks, featuring programs pertaining to medicine and its applications conducted by members or by qualified faculty members. The Society hopes by maintaining highest possible standards to become a chapter eventually of the national pre- medical fraternity. Alpha Epsilon Delta. ALPHA PSI OMEGA Theta Omega Cast of Alpha Psi Omega, a national honorary fraternity whose purpose is to recognize the students who have done outstanding work in the field of dramatics, opened the Fall semester with thirteen active members. The officers who were elected to guide the organization throughout the year were as follows: Mary Gilmer Cocke, Director; Mack Parrish, Stage Manager; Tommy Johnson, Business Manager; Dr. Herman Parker. Faculty Adviser. The two mem- bers elected to represent the other fields of dramatics on the executive council were Tom Arlington and Jim Hobbs. According to the local constitution, the field of dra- matics is divided into five major divisions: acting and directing, make-up and costuming, stage and technical work, business and publicity, and properties. The point arrangement for membership is based on activity in each of these five divisions. Three sets of novices wore the amber and blue ribbons of Alpha Psi. and three initiations were held during the year. Front row, left lo right: Geo] Mallonee, Emily Olive.

State College in 1927, having as its purpose the creation of interest in the affairs, customs, and languages of foreign nations and a better understanding of their cultures through the medium of study of their languages. The Epsilon Chapter was founded at Wake Forest in 1931 . Mem- bership is limited to those who have demonstrated a marked proficiency in modern languages by virture of an average of B on not less than twelve hours of work. Also, membership cannot exceed two per cent of the student body. Under the guidance of Dr. H. D. Parcell, Professor of French, Miss Xell Dowtin, Instructor in Spanish, Mr. J. C. O ' Flaherty, Instructor in German, and the leadership of James Godsey, President, the Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Pi Alpha enjoyed a favorable year. Featured on the programs of the fraternity during the year were members of the group and professors in the modern language department who presented bene- ficial discussions related to various aspects of the field. Rather sorely hit at the beginning of the year by- absence of many previous standbys who had graduated, the ranks of the fraternity were swelled by the admission into the organization in the fall semester of a large number of men and women who had fulfilled the re- quirements for membership through outstanding work in French, Spanish, and German. ETA SIGMA PHI Eta Sigma Phi was organized in 1914 at the Uni- versity of Chicago for the purpose of developing and promoting interest in the classical studies among the students of universities and colleges. Beta Iota Chapter of Eta Sigma Phi had its in- ception in May, 1943. Since that time, under the leadership of the heads of the departments of classical languages, the chapter has enjoyed a continuous growth. With an active membership of twenty-eight Beta Iota began the year under the capable presidency ol Hubert Humphrey. Kent Bennett serving as Vice President. Maury Xewton as Secretary. Herbert Ap- penzeller as Treasurer, and Bill Lamb as Sargeant-at- arms. On November 6 the fraternity and invited guests were entertainingly addressed by Dr. Xorman W. DeWitt of the University of North Carolina. Stu- dents with B averages in twelve hours of Greek or Latin are invited to membership.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB Under the leadership during the first semester of Hubert Humphrey, President, the Wake Forest College International Relations Club began a profitable year, characterized by presentation and discussion of pro- gram topics of a vital and significant nature. Such topics discussed during the year dealt with the prob- lems of China, the international implications of the Marshall Plan, the plight of Poland — to name a leu The programs stimulated interest among the members regarding these and other matters of pertinence to the U. S. and her dealings with the world: the club filled a need that is particularly important to students in colleges and universities today. Membership in the club is limited to students who have demonstrated marked interest and proficiency in the study of social science, particularly in its con- temporary aspects. They must have an average of not lower than B on six hours of social science. Under the auspices of the International Relations Club, a very well-received chapel was planned in the fall semester featuring an address by Mr. Jutilla, Fin- land ' s minister to the U. S. Elected to office in the spring semester were Jim Moore, President; Dale Cooper, Vice-President; Mar- garet Baucom, Secretary; and Bill Clark. Treasurer.

PI KAPPA DELTA Pi Kappa Delta, honorary forensic fraternity, was founded at Ripon College, Wisconsin, in 191 9. Today it is the largest fraternity of its kind in the nation with 185 chapters. Its purpose is to stimulate progress in and promote the interests of intercollegiate oratory, del 1. He, and public speaking by encouraging a spirit of fellowship, brotherly cooperation and interest by conferring upon deserving candidates a badge of dis- tinction, proficiency, and honor, varied and graduated according to merit and achievement. The Xorth Carolina Beta Chapter of Pi Kappa Delta at Wake Forest College received its charter in [926. Since the founding of the organization its mem- bers have established for it a record of high caliber in the field of public speaking. The fraternity functions under the supervision of Professor A. L. Aycock, its able adviser, who for many years has enabled Pi Kappa Delta to maintain its prominent position on the Wake Forest College campus as an honorary fraternity.

DELTA KAPPA ALPHA Delta Kappa Alpha, honorary ministerial fraternity. was organized at Wake Forest on October 12. 1932, to promote the fellowship and spiritual development of ministerial students, to elevate their ideals and scho- larship, to creat an interest and understanding of their problems, and to give opportunity for the consideration of questions confronting the ministry today. Through the years Delta Kappa Alpha has continued to main- tain a high standard of proficiency and spiritual growth among its members. Activities of the fraternity center around the monthly meetings. At these sessions are discussed topics of interest and value to the Christian minister. Open forum procedure with a member of the group as chair- man enables each individual to express his opinion freely and, in return, invites open criticism on a mutual basis. Frequently interested members of the faculty present edifying lectures to inspire and encourage the group. Programs of this year have included information re- garding church polity, the minister as a personal counsellor, the meaning of salvation, the use of movies in the work of a minister, the development of Christianity and the attitude of the ministry toward racial prob- lems. Activities are embodied in the work of the various other religious groups on the campus. PHI DELTA OMEGA Phi Delta Omega was founded in 1940 to aid in preparing those entering the legal profession for law school and the profession in general, and also to pro- vide a fellowship for those having the same professional interests at Wake Forest. During the war years, it suffered from a lack of students but was revived in the fall of 1944 by loyal members who had returned. This year it has been striving to fulfill its objectives through its programs, discussions, and parties, at- tempting to deal with matters of practical interest to its members. Those among the Wake Forest Law School faculty, including Dr. Lee. Dean, and Professor Timberlake, have appeared on programs to guide the thinking of future barristers. Succeeding to the offices of President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer held by Hubert Humphrey, John Friday. Fred Benton, and Joe Morris respectively during the fall term were John Friday. Bob Howren, Joe Morris, and Ed Stanfield respectively. ■ight: Joe Morris. Lamar Sledge. Ed Stanfield. Back Hubert Humphrey, Bob Howren, John Friday. V ATHLETICS THE DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Department of Athletics and Physical Education, located in Gore Gymnasium, is under the general supervision of James H, Weaver. The oflices of the Department, among the most active in school, consti- tute the nucleus around which the rapidly expanding activities revolve. Mr. Weaver has been at Wake Forest College since 1933, serving as Head Football Coach until 1937 when he assumed the duties as Di- rector of Athletics. Working with him as Assistant Director of Physical Education since 1946 is Mr. James V. Long, who came to Wake Forest from Independence Junior College. Supervising the athletics activities for the women on the campus is Miss Marjorie Crisp, Instructor in Physical Education for Women, under whose leader- ship physical education for the co-eds has undergone unprecedented development within the year. Coming to Wake Forest this year, she has behind her a great deal of experience in work with women ' s athletics throughout the state. Coach Phil Utley. for many years familiar to students and alumni in the many parts he has played in the college sports programs, has served this year as supervisor of intramural ac- tivities and as Head Track Coach. Coach Murray Greason, who with Coach Utley was outstanding as a Wake Forest athlete and has since worked in the athletic department, has been Head Basketball Coach since 1933 and Head Baseball Coach since 1939. Coming to the College this spring to assume the duties as Head Baseball was Coach Frank Novosel who has an out- standing career in baseball behind him and is in every way qualified to guide the Deacon diamondeers. Coach D. C. Peahead Walker, who has been Head Football Coach at Wake Forest College since 1937 has been assisted capably for the last two years by Tom Rogers, John Jett, and Robert Kellogg.

Keeping up with the tremendous in- crease in the size of the student body, the programs adequately met the needs of all the co-eds and the men who were enrolled in physical education and who participated in intramural sports. The first two semesters of physical education re- quired of all Freshmen men and women consist ol participation in the two phases of sports; team sports and individual sports. Team sports are touch football, soccer, speedball. volleyball, basketball, and Softball; individual sports consist of handball, tennis, badminton, golf, gymnastics (tumbling), track and held. Elective courses for credit are offered to all students in the lower or upper division as well as courses leading to a major in physical education. The curriculum is well rounded to include the study of such matters as the principles, organization, and supervision of health and physical education activities, applied skills and teachniques, and basic science courses which include human anatomy and physiology. Approximately thirty-five men and 1 progrs The well-rounded program shown below by participatii basketball, touch football, and badminton for the men is •yball. soltball. five women students are speacilizing in this field at this time. Working with the men along with the over-all pro- gram of physical education and intramural activity is the Intramural Athletic Council, which led by its chairman this year, Clyde VVhitener, was composed of representatives from various phases of campus life. Three representatives from the Monogram Club were Tom Fetzer, Bud VVedel, and Clyde Whitener; repre- sentatives of the Student Council were Ed Stanfield and Mack Parrish. Bill Bethune represented the Old Gold and Black: Dick Williams, the Student Political Union; and Dean Hamrick, the Pan-Hellenic Council. Linwood Harrell, the Head Cheerleader was also on the Council. The general purpose of the Council is to provide and direct an athletic program that will be made available to all students not engaged in varisty competition; more specifically it draws up the rules and regulations for student participation in intramural football, basketball, Softball, volleyball, track, tennis, golf, and table tennis. Teams participating are made up of men from fraternities, boarding houses, and various other independent groups on the campus. A trophy is awarded to the team which wins the most points throughout the year in competition in the several sports. The points are scaled so as to give credit for placing within the top five, from ten points to two in major sports (touch football, basketball, and Softball) and from five points to one in minor sports (volleyball, track, tennis, golf, and table tennis). Working with Miss Crisp in the directing of the women ' s physical education and intramural athletic program is the Women ' s Athletic Association, which this year was headed by President Helen Smith. Other officers were Edith Rawls, Vice President; Lib Helen, Secretary; and Martha Boone, Treasurer. This group sponsored the intramural program which consists of volleyball, soccer, speedball, basketball, tennis, swim- ming, golf, badminton, and archery. Also organized this year was the Physical Education Major ' s Club for women which was headed by Presi- dent Edith Rawls, and associates Merle Silvers, Nice President; Betty Crary. Secretary; and Betty Erskine, WOMEN ' S ATHLETIC: ASSOCIATION. Left t« right: Lib Hell™, Martha Boone, Helen Smith (President), Sally Hudson, Treasurer.

Emphasi since neither club had had sufficient work to make its offensive guns sound very loudly. For 54 minutes the two teams slugged away on fair- ly even terms and all indi- cations pointed to a score- less tie. Then a Tom Fet- zer-to-Carl Haggard pass accounted for the lone score. On fourth down, 15 yards short of a first and ten. Fetzer stepped back be- hind good protection and fired a strike to Haggard on the -2D. The shifty wing- football wars by over- night clash as tight as on defense back gathered in the pass and romped the remaining distance for the touchdown. The Hoyas lashed back with a flurry of desperation passes, but an alert Deacon aerial defense batted down the heaves to protect the slender lead.

A blocked punt by End John (Red) O ' Quinn accounted for a safety which ultimately gave the Deacs a 16-14 victory over the Tigers. Nick Ognovich, three-time Jacobs Blocking Trophy winner, did everything but tap dance atop the score board against the Tigers. Besides tossing his usual bone-breaking blocks, the 170-pound senior booted two extra points and scored one of the Deacs ' two touchdowns by gathering in a pass from Fetzer which was good for 27 yards. Big Ed Bradley spills Clemson ' s Bobby Gage while Fetzer (3 and Clamp (34) rush in to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

That Saturday the Deacons dumped Carolina ' s doughty Tar Heels. But to appreciate fully the victory, one had to be in Chapel Hill on that sunny afternoon TO SEE the confident faces of Tar Heel players before the game opened; TO HEAR the jibes the cocky Tar Heels tossed at the underdog Deacons who looked ragged in their pre-game warmups; TO SEE the confident Carolina rooters flock into Kenan Stadium expecting to see their boys whale the poor Deacons. To HEAR the cheers that swelled from the Wake Forest section when it became apparent th.it the Deacs were going to do the whaling that day: and TO SEE the final 19-6 score rolled onto the score- board. It was quite a day. End Jim Duncan scored one of the three Wake touchdowns by making a circus catch of a 17-yard pass from Tom Fetzer; Wing- back Harry Dowda made another apparently impossible snag of a ig-yard heave from Bud Lail for a second score; and a third was punched across by Bill Gregus. The pass-minded Deacons connected on 14 of 22 aerials for 230 yards with Fetzer leading the way with 12 bull ' s-eyes in 16 efforts for igo yards.

Wake Forest 6 — Duke 1 3 The largest crowd ever to witness an athletic contest in Wake Forest, 24,600 persons, saw Duke shade the Deacons, 13-6, in a grueling Homecoming Day battle. Both teams played unusually bruising and exciting football, and it was not until the final two minutes of play that Duke smacked across the winning touchdown. The Deacons outplayed Duke throughout the first three periods and led 6-0 as the game went into the fourth quarter. After a scoreless first half the Deacs caught fire in the third period. Bouncing Bill Gregus, the Toledo Traveler, entered the game and paced a 5g-yard drive for the lone Wake Forest touchdown. The score came The huge Homecoming crowd pauses at half time for the elaborate cei .ui b Duke ' s Fred Folgei and Buddv Mulligan as he struggles to hang after 13 minutes of play in the third quarter when Gregus hit Carl Haggard with a pass in the end zone. The Blue Devils struck back on the first play of the final period when wingback Buddy Mulligan ripped off five yards on a reverse to knot the game, 6-6. Five minutes later Guard Bud Wedel, who was the game ' s outstanding lineman, blocked a Duke punt and hauled it 37 yards to the Blue Devil eight-yard stripe. Four tries to cross the Duke goal line failed and the Devils took over the ball on their own one-inch line. Duke ' s winning score came with two minutes left in the game. A pass interference ruling gave the Devils possession of the ball on the four. led by the bands: Carl Haggard elusive pigskin. Harry Dowda (44) turns around to retrieve a pass in the Willian and Mary game with a would-be tackier giving hot chase. Wake Forest o William and Mary 21 The trite term heart-breaking defeat might well be applied to Wake ' s loss to Duke, but actually, the game was more of a bone-breaking affair. Ten of the Deacs ' leading performers were injured in the bruising battle with the Blue Devils, leaving the Bap- tists in poor condition to meet William and Mary the following Saturday in Williamsburg. The badly crippled Deacons could not cope with the high-flying Indians, who after a slow start began to. roll — and continued to roll to a 21-0 victory. It was in that game that Fullback Jack (Flying) Cloud almost carried the ball out of the Williamsburg city limits, and in general kicked up many black clouds in the hearts of Deac fans. Wake Forest 14 Boston College 13 If Jo Jo the talking dog had rushed off the Wake Forest bench to score against Boston College it would have caused little more surprise than did the 26-yard game-winning sprint reeled off by fourth string Wing- back Lou Pollacci in Boston on November 8. The Pennsylvania freshman was traveling with the Deacons mostly for the ride and had never entered a college game. Nevertheless, he scooted 26 long, precious yards on a double reverse for the touchdown which gave the Deacs a 14-13 win over the heavily-favored Eagles. End Ed Hoey had notched the first Baptist score by grabbing a pass from Torn Fetzer. And of course, the two extra points that straight-booting Bill George made provided the margin of victory. In statistics the Eagles had a decided edge, rolling up ig first downs and 272 yards rushing, compared to only three first downs and 55 yards rushing for Wake Forest. The alertness of the Deacs in covering six Eagle fumbles, and their dogged goal line defense went a long way toward winning the game. grits his teeth yard touchdow s roaring down the the Boston College Bernie Hanula Tackle Sidney Martin Bill George 1, 2,1,1.- ■■KB uddv field Tackle Sidney Martin turns on his ifl and starts clearing the field of State playe Wake Forest o State College 20 Following their surprise win over Boston College the Deacs traveled to Raleigh to suffer a bitter 20-0 licking by State in the battle of the mud. On the sloppy gridiron, the Deacons could do little passing, which was their strongest weapon all season. The Wolves proved the better mudders on that dismal, rainy Saturday, and there lay the story of the game. After a scoreless first half in which Wake Forest held a slight edge. State began to roll and pushed across three touchdowns in the final thirty minutes. Leslie (Footsie) Palmer and Charlie Richkus were the big Wolves in the backfield, and the light but scrappy State line (as much as we hate to admit it) completely outplayed the Wake forward wall. Baptist fans slopped home through the mud mutter- ing. Wait ' til next year. Wake Forest Duquesne 33 o On November 21 the Deacons put on a glittering show under the lights for their future home folks, walloping Duquesne, 33-0, in Winston-Salem. The inexperienced Dukes, playing their first season of intercollegiate ball since the war. were no match for the more seasoned Deacons. Besides. Walker ' s legions were aching to kick somebody ' s brains out following the loss to their arch rivals in West Raleigh. Tailback Bill Gregus, voted the most outstanding freshman in the Southern Conference, had a field day (or field night, if yon prefer) against the Dukes. He scored two of the five touchdowns and set up another with his needle-threading passing.

Wake Forest lost to the Palmetto club, 6-0, and Char- lotte lost the opportunity to stage the annual clash between the two teams. The extremely poor con- dition of the playing field led officials of both schools to switch the site of the Thanksgiving scrap. Eight Wake Forest players brought their collegiate careers to a close in the Turkey Day clash. This octet consisted of Co-Captain Ed Royston, Bob Leonetti, Richard (Bud) Wedel and Jim Camp, guards; Co- Captain Harry Clark, center; Nick Ognovich, and Don Hipps, quarterbacks; and Jeff Brogdon, fullback. Blocking back Nick Ognovich (22), three-time Jacob Trophy winner, leaps up to gather a pass in the South Carolina game. Looking Back Over the Season An artist depicting Wake Forest ' s 1947 football season would call upon many colors — bright, rosy hues to picture the joy that abounded following the 19-6 upset of Carolina, and dismal, murky shades to show the gloom that prevailed after the loss to State. The overall picture, however, would be a pleasant one. The Deacons, while amassing a 6-4 record, en- joyed a decided edge over their opponents from a statistical standpoint.

The Deacons looked none too impressive during the first half of their schedule and did just a little better than break even but they came roaring down the stretch with a series of top-flight performances. This surge enabled them to land a spot in the annual South- ern Conference tournament. Despite being eliminated from the tourney in the first round by a fighting William and Mary club, 61 to 56, the season was extremely successful — one which saw the Deacs improve with each game. The first grueling assignment was the Conference ' s No. 2 ranking team from the University of North Caro- lina, which had easily romped over Wake Forest 56 to 35 in an early January meeting. The White Phantoms ruled topheavy favorites, just as they did in football last fall, but the cagers took the cue from their football brethren and upset the Tar Heels 53 to 47. After spotting Carolina a four point lead in the first half, the Deacons fought back spiritedly in the second and dominated the play. With Deran Walters, 6 foot 5 inch veteran center and Stan Najeway, 6 foot 3 inch freshman forward dominating the rebounds, the Deacons controlled the ball during the greater part of the final 20 minutes of action. The win over Carolina apparently was just the tonic the Baptist needed. Two days later they headed for South Carolina for an important invasion of the Pal- Bl« □K Geary Paul Blnn Forward Center N OQu.NN Stan Najey Forward Guard Guard ARI K.V Guard •353 Liiii ; ' : -% b ■ J IlLII M 7 mm a ' ' metto State. In order they defeated Clemson 66 to 59, South Carolina 52 to 46, and The Citadel 62 to 48 to move all the way from tenth place to a tie for fourth place in Conference standing. The victory over The Citadel clinched a berth in the Conference tourna- ment for Coach Greason ' s team. Wake Forest opened its 1947-1948 season early in December with an impressive conquest of the McCrary Eagles. The team then headed for Virginia and the District of Columbia for a series of three games. Ran- dolph-Macon was beaten in the opener of the trip, 72 to 53, but the Deacons fell before the classy George Washington Colonials, 59 to 53, and the Quantico Marines. 74 to 56. In other pre-Christmas contests the Baptists beat Atlantic Christian College twice by scores of 71 to 44 and 61 to 30, defeated the 82 nd Airborne Division of Fort Bragg. 70 to 61, turned back the strong Hanes Hosiery five, 73 to 63, and conquered William and Mary Indians for their first Conference victory, 61 to 52. After the holidays the team went on a three-day in- vasion of Tennessee and Western Carolina. The Uni- versity of Tennessee proved too strong for the Deacons and punched out a 60 to 47 victory, but Coach Murray Greason ' s men romped over the Asheville All-Stars 52 to 33 and the Chatham Blanketeers 52 to 44. Re- turning to Wake Forest they played their fourth game in as many nights and bowed 47 to 45 to the McCrary Eagles whom they had beaten earlier in the season by 20 points. During those early games Co-Captains Jack Gentry, forward, and Deran Walters, center, set the scoring pace. Others who figured prominently in the victories were lettermen Jim Patton, W illard Kaylor, and John (Red) O ' Quinn and freshmen Stan Najeway, Walt Schlosser, and Jack Mueller. Then began a series of important Southern Confer- ence games. South Carolina edged out the Deacons 65 to 60 despite 2 1 points by Gentry, and North Caro- lina ' s White Phantoms took a one-sided 56 to 35 verdict.

Bottom: Meuller rushes in as Walters attempts a one-hand shot in the battle against Clemson in Gore Gymnasium. But the Deacons got back into the win column again with a 68 to 48 decision over Clemson and a 72 In 55 win over Furman. This gave the team an even split in six Southern Conference games. N. C. State ' s highly touted Wolfpack invaded Gore Gymnasium on the last night in January amid a heavy snowstorm and rolled to an impressive 72 to 43 victory over Wake Forest. Co-Captain Walters with 14 points led both teams in individual scoring but the more experienced Wolfpack proved too strong for the scrap- ping Deacons. Wake Forest hit the .500 mark in Conference com- petition again by edging out the Richmond Spiders 48 to 47 in a thrilling battle in the Old Dominion Capital. Ability to convert on more free throws proved the margin of victory in this game. The Deacons returned to Gore Gymnasium on Febru- ary 6th and snapped a 22-game winning streak of the 82nd Airborne Division, 71 to 39. An interesting side- light on this game was the fact that Wake Forest had beaten the 82nd Airborne 70 to 61 in an earlier game. It was after this defeat that the soldiers began their string of 22 victories, and it was the same Deacons who finally checked their march. Duke ' s Blue Devils were next on the program and the long jinx over Wake Forest teams continued with the Deacons bowing in a thrilling, seesaw affair, 47 to 45. Early in the game Wake Forest sported a 15 to 4 lead but Duke battled to catch up and finally overhauled the Deacons at intermission. The Blue Devils held a ten-point lead with four minutes to go, but a spirited Wake Forest rally narrowed the gap to only two points. Charlotte ' s Clippers, an outstanding independent team, fell before the Deacons, 61 to 52 in their next appearance. The successful South Carolina trip in which Wake Forest made a clean sweep with victories over Clemson, South Carolina, and The Citadel has been mentioned previously as well as the impressive 53 to 47 upset victory over North Carolina in the return game. Wake Forest lost a heart-breaking 49 to 48 decision to Duke in the final week of play in a game which saw the lead change hands no less than 1 7 times and the score tied on ten other occasions. The Deacs held a three-point lead, 48 to 45. with only 35 seconds remain- ing, but Tommy Hughes converted on two foul shots and Carren Youmans looped in a onehander from the side to overtake the Deacons with seconds remaining. It was one of the most exciting contests over staged in Gore Gymnasium and fans were literally on the edge of their seats throughout the heated battle.

John (Red) O ' Quinn poured in 15 pounts to pace the Deacs who outscored the Techs from the floor but were not so effective from the three throw line. The game was tied 31 to 31 at the intermission and it was not until the final seven minutes of the contest that Stale was able to pull away. This year ' s record of 18 wins and ri defeats was considerable improvement over that of last season. The 1 946- 1 947 team won only 1 1 games while losing 1 3. Missing from next season ' s club will be Gentry and Walters, both of whom played a fine brand of ball throughout their years at Wake Forest College. Gentry- excelled as a set-shot artist while Walters stood out for his brilliant recovery of rebounds as well as his shoot- ing. Most of his scores came on hook shots and follow- ups. The year in basketball, among other things, un- covered a wealth of talent among the newcomers to Deaconland among whom were Stan Xajeway and Walt Schlosser and Jack Mueller. Xajeway, a fresh- man from Arnold. Pennsylvania, showed up unusually well and was tops among the freshman crop. He should be one of the team ' s outstanding men during the next three years. Also outstanding for their aggres- sive floor work were Jack Mueller and Walt Schlosser. both of whom are from Jeffersonville.

DEACONS ON THE DIAMOND Succeeding Coach Murray Greason who has served as Head Baseball Coach at Wake Forest College since 1939 was Frank Novosel who comes to lead the Dea- cons on the baseball diamond with an extensive back- ground of experience in professional circles behind him. After playing for three seasons at New York University from 1926 through 1927 he performed with Toronto in the International League, Springfield in the Central League, Hartford in the Eastern League, Raleigh, Richmond, and Greensboro in the Piedmont League, Hollywood in the Pacific Coast League, Elmira in the New York-Pennsylvania League, Rock Island in the Eastern, and Birmingham in the Southern League. In assuming this duty, he relieves Coach Greason who with full time coaching duties in basketball and base- ball as well as backfield coaching in football for years has had easily a heavier working schedule through the seasons than anyone else in the Department of Ath- letics. Greason now intends to devote his full time to football as backfield coach and continue as Head Basketball Coach. The primary problem confronting Frank Novosle this year is that of finding hitting replacements for the power men last spring — Clyde Whitener, Red Cochran, Elmer Sexauer Pitcha Clyde Whitener Oulfieldei PULOHUM Ge! Oulfieldn Pilch Russ Batchelor Catchtr WMM 1948 Schedule and George Edwards — who will not be playing this year. Nearly all the offense was dominated by these three men — Whitener belting the ball at a furious clip, averaging .446, Cochran at a .303 rate, and colorful George Edwards at .309. In their absence there is only Art Hoch, classy shortstop, remaining in Dea- conland who was able to push his average over the .300 mark. Nevertheless, some of the other men are expected to develop into steady hitters under the tute- lage of Frank Novosel. Among these are Gene Hooks. Paul Livick, Baldy Harris, and Joe Fulghum. In regard to pitching, this year s team is blessed with several talented newcomers to the Wake Forest mound: Harry Nicholas, Clarence Blackwell, and Harry Bowers. Returning pitchers are Moe Bauer, Yern Mustian, Gene Leigh, and Charlie Miller. The sensational in- field combination of Art Hoch and Charlie Teague at short and second will be back to take care of these depart- ments. In all, the prospects are encouraging.

TENNIS and GOLF The 1948 tennis team, going into its second year under the coach- ing of Dr. John W. Nowell, who reinstated this sport last year after the inactivity during war years, will be at once handi- capped and benefited. It will benefit from new courts which are contracted to be ready for use in time for the home matches; it will be handicapped by the loss of many of the key men on last years ' squad. The golf squad, under the coaching of Johnny Johnston, is fortunate in having back the majority of those on last year ' s team. In addition to letterman Sonny Harris, Buddy Behm. Jennings Agner, Fred Hyatt, and Jack Gentry are promising newcomers Jerry Green, Marvin IQ4H GOLF SQUAD. Sonny H Arnold Palmer, and Fred Hyatt. Worsham, Arnold Palmer, Tommy Gray, and Clyde Randolph.

The Council was made up of nine Progressive Fraternity Party mem- bers, six Student Political Union members, and four independents. Anything could happen, and it did. But what did happen was a gratifying surprise to all. After a few meetings of hurling political brickbats, the group settled down to one aim: good student govern- ment at Wake Forest. The Council studied the Consti- tution and appointed a Constitution Committee to make revisions. These recommended revisions were approved by the student body in March. Subordinated to its chief function of meting out justice to student offenders were other significant ac- tivities. The Freshman Advisory Council, headed by Ralph Bland and appointed by the president, did a thorough job of impressing the spirit of Wake Forest and the honor system upon the new students. The Student Council, sensing the need for greater student participation in chapel, requested and received one of the three weekly chapel programs, which were planned by a Council-appointed committee headed by Tommy Stapleton. The Intramural Athletic Council and the Campus Social Committee endeavored to tie a closer bond among the students and stimulate school spirit. The success- ful year that the Student Council has had is due in no small way to the capable leadership of its president, Horace Dagwood Kornegay. WOMEN ' S GOVERNMENT Led by its capable officers headed by President Reda Umstead, the Women ' s Government Association has made continued progress in proving itself a vital part of an institution which was originally founded for men. In general the purpose of the organization is to regulate all matters pertaining to the life of the women of Wake Forest College, to create a unity between them, and to maintain high ideals for them. To it belongs every undergraduate woman who is a matriculate ol the college. In addition to the offices oi President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, the Association has a Chair- man of Social Standards whose duty it is to direct a committee concerned with planning the social calendar for the school year, and in general with upholding the social standards of the college. Closely linked with the Association are the Executive Board and the Nominations Board, in both cases headed by the W. G. A. president and the Dean of Women. The Executive Board makes and enforces all regulations regarding the conduct of the women and meets once a week; the duty of the Nominations Board is to select at least a week prior to election those qualified to serve as officers of the Association. STUDENT LEGISLATURE Formed by the Student Council of Wake Forest College in 1923 the student Legislature Ins served primarily as the agency through which the constitution of the student body is kept up to date by making revisions and pro- posing amendments where neces- sary to fit the changing needs of the school. Headed this year lis Kermit Caldwell, President of the Senior Class, the Student Legislature was a significant part cil the democratic form of govern- ment at Wake Forest. Originally consisting of from eighteen to twenty- six members, the group was modified through a re- vision of the constitution in the spring to include nine West Byrum. Clifton Park. Brown. Kyle Yates, Tommv Medlin, Warren Coble, H. Rcda Umstead, Hub. Humphrc Grady Patterson. Lit .. 11 Appenze members.

FRESHMAN ADVISORY COUNCIL Confronted with the problem of ushering in an un- precedentedly large number of freshmen about to em- bark upon their careers in Wake Forest College, of acquainting them with its lofty traditions and ideals. and of helping them to find their places in the many aspects of campus life and activity, the Freshman Ad- visory Council, capably led by its chairman Ralph Bland, worked furiously during the registration periods of the two semesters as well as during much of the terms themselves. Through the efforts of this group, the once-bewildered newish began to feel at home in the college and to understand the friendliness and toler- ance that make it great. RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES In offering to the students of Wake Forest College opportunities for maximum Christian living, the Baptist Student Union welcomes everyone into its activities and plays a fore- most role in directing the life of the college according to the high spiritual traditions upon which it was founded, in fostering the friendliness and tolerance for which it is known. . . . .

THE BAPTIST STUDENT UNION COUNCIL Charged with the direction of the Baptist Student Union, the Executive Council met weekly this year for the purpose of tabulating the records and seeing the progress of its work. Keeping a close check on the work of the unit organizations and seeking to give help where needed, it might be considered as a work- shop for spiritual problems, for it sought ever to en- courage the students in their spiritual life. The Council was composed of students interested in religion, law, business, medicine, music, and art, mem- bers of the literary societies. Student Council. Omicron Delta Kappa, and the social fraternities. The officers serving during the first of the year were Elwood Orr. president; Murray Severance, enlistment vice president; Bea Herring, social vice president; Charles Stevens, devotional vice president; Doris Mor- gan, secretary; Grace McElveen, treasurer; Kyle Yates, director of extension work; Jason Ross, music director; Tommy Stapleton, publicity director; Bill Clarke, poster chairman; and Wilhelmina Wallace, librarian. Serving ex officio on the Council were presidents of the Baptist Training Union, Hubert Humphrey; Sunday School, Jack Bracey; Young Woman ' s Auxiliary, Miriam Smith; Religious Education Club, Lula Covington; Cullom Ministerial Conference, Wayne Slaton; and Christian Service Group, Clifton Dunevant. Faculty advisers were Dr. Marc Lovelace; pastor-adviser. Rev. Eugene Olive.

The Conference, made up of students pre- paring for the ministry, plays a vital part in the life of the campus. Opportunity for fellowship and in- struction {(Hues every Tuesday evening when out- standing churchmen and laymen speak concerning the life and work of the modern pastor. The Conference was founded by Dr. W. R. Cullom, professor emeritus of religion, who for years led its work and lor whom it is now named. Its primary objective, as set forth in the constitution is to promote understanding, fellowship, and Christ-modeled lives among ourselves as Christian brethren called of Cod to seise Him without reservation. The present ministerial students have endeavored to seek to mean something to campus life while here, not being willing to wait until they have finished college to begin their life ' s work, feeling that in the modern era the highest type of training is needed for the minister of God, they have sought to learn the princi- ples which Christ taught and the manner in which to teach and apply them in everyday living. Dr. Owen F. Herring, a member of the religion department of the college, and Dr. J. Wayne Si atom Glenn Blackburn, the col- P ■ lege chaplain, serve as ad- visers for the group. Realizing that social activities play an impor- tant part in Christian fel- lowship, the Conference holds the Prophets ' Fling every fall and the Prophets ' Frolic each spring to supplement the more serious aspects ol their work.

THE YOUNG WOMAN ' S AUXILIARY Containing eight circles and numbering 180 members, the Young Woman ' s Auxiliary has played an im- portant role in the life of the women of Wake Forest College. Under the efficient direction of Miriam Smith, the group has provided a real spiritual contribution Miriam Smith lo ' e carn pus. The purpose of the Y. W. A., as the group is known, perhaps could be summed up with the verse, That in all things He might have pre-em- inence, for it has given every girl at Wake Forest an opportunity to open her heart to the imper- ative urge of Christ and feel I he need of the world for consistent Christian living now and throughout life. To fulfill this purpose, the group offered many not- able contributions to the life of the college. In October the Y. W. A. gave a tea for the new girls on the campus. Miss Hilda Mayo, Young People ' s Secretary for the North Carolina Woman ' s Missionary Union, and Miss Vivian Nowell, missionary to Africa, were the guests. In December it sponsored a Week of Prayer for Foreign Missions and collected Si 78 for the Mission Board. A week of Prayer for Home Missions was held in March, with several outstanding leaders visiting the campus. Another important activity of the Y. W. A. was Community Missions. From holding prayer meetings in white and negro sections, fixing trays to cheer the sick at the infirmary, and carrying food and fruit to needy families and shut-ins. to helping in the organi- zations of the neighboring churches, providing services in the jail and other aspects of personal evangelism, the Y. W. A. saw the needs and made every effort to fill them. CHRISTIAN SERVICE GROUP The purpose of the Christian Service Group is to promote Christian missionary activities on the campus and in the commun- ity. The organization has seri- ously attempted to express this purpose in its work. As Clifton Dunevant stated. We felt that the students who are going to lie doctors, lawyers, businessmen, and housewives needed an opporunity to give expression to their urge to serve here as well as in later life, and the group was organized to meet that need.

Under the leadership of Dr. J.

Chapel. With the purpose of the Sunday School to provide informal instruction from the Bible by adult Christian leaders and to afford a worship service, under the direction of Jack Bracey, it has spared no effort to supply as many classes as necessary, the best teachers available, and a challenging program of activity on the Wake Forest College campus. The increase in the number of students made it necessary to organize three new classes this year, bring- ing the total number to seven. The teachers were Mrs. O. F. Herring, Mrs. R. M. Squires, Dr. A. C. Reid, Dr. B. E. Smith. Professor J. C. O ' Flaherty, Dr. M The SUNDAY SCHOOL John A. Brace Superintends I. B. Lake, and Dr. Marc Lovelace. The interest created by these teachers was a factor in the record attendance and the enrollment of the Sunday School. Among many changes created by the war was the increase in the number of married couples on the cam- pus. To meet their needs the Sunday School organized a special class for this group and secured the services of Dr. Marc Lovelace to teach the class. The general assembly worship services have been unique and inspiring. It seems that no effort was spared to make the services both worshipful and chal- lenging. DR. SMITH ' S CLASS DR.

Another memorable impression was left at Wake Forest College this year by the Baptist Training Union. This group, meeting each Sunday evening, has as its motto the scripture verse, ' Study to show thyself ap- proved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Notable achievements were accomplished this year unto the careful direction of Hubert Humphrey. Find- ing at the beginning of the year that another union had to be added to accommodate the large number of new members, the leaders organized the Lee Union, named after the Southern Baptist leader and author. ,1 stud Robert G. Lee of Mem- phis, Tennessee. Thus there were five unions and one forum group for train- ing in church member- ship. The attendance was far superior to previous years. Using as a guide J. M. Price ' s Vital Problems in Christian Living, the anni course of the Training Union was taught this yeai by Mr. Harvey T. Gibson, Baptist Training Union Secretary of North Carolina. Those attending ex- pressed the feeling that the coins;- had been ol real personal help to them. The opening assembly programs were a definite attraction to the work of the organization. The experi- enced program committee presented programs ol medi- tation, music, inspiration, and education. The group sought to reach into all phases of Christian experience and human need for program subjects. A particularly outstanding program was the Christmas candlelight Service, presented jointly with the Methodist and Presbyterian groups. Such programs proved to be both an attraction and a benefit to the students.

The Methodist Student Fellowship purposed this year to build an association that would offer to the Methodist students the opportunity of Christian growth. Lib Gill and George Mallonee led the group in exploring the avenues of inter-faith cooperation by having a Catholic priest, a Jewish rabbi, a Baptist minister, and a Methodist leader lead a forum on the subject. By sponsoring fellowship suppers to which students of other denominations were invited, this group helped to foster a better understanding between different religious groups, and succeeded in providing the common meeting ground for all denominations. As delegates to the National Methodist Youth Con- ference in Cleveland, Ohio, in December, Lib Gill and Orville Robinson learned much which they brought back and tried to put into practice here in the Methodist Fellowship Group in Wake Forest. During Religious Focus Week, one of the most able team members was Mrs. Edgar L. Hillman, a repre- sentative from the Methodist Church of Rocky Mount. The Presbyterian students organized the West- minster Fellowship at Wake Forest early in the fall and elected Jack Wilson as their president. The purpose of the group was to bring the Presbyterian students at college close to their home churches; to help them in developing Christian faith, character, and leader- ship; to afford fellowship among the studenls; and to challenge them with the Christian conception of life. The Westminster Fellowship, meeting every Sunday evening, presented stimulating and inspiring programs. At Christmas time the group joined the Christian Service Group in giving baskets to the needy families and engaging in other missionary activities. The group encouraged closer relationships with other colleges by holding joint programs. Both the Methodist Student Fellowship and the Pres- byterian Club deserve much credit for aiding in pro- moting interdenominational cooperation. etty Walt First row, left to right: Susan Bl Louise Ramsey, Myra Marrow.

Before returning to school in September the Bap- tist SukIcih Union met in .1 well-spent retreat, Crab- tree Creek State Park, to plan its activities lot the year. The first thing on the agenda was to organize a program of helping students with their luggage upon arrival. A big ' ■Welcome Social was soon held and the year had started with enthusiasm After the hilarity of orientation and the exasperation of registration, work began in earnest. The first major task was the completion and adoption of a new consti- tution and budget. The purpose of the new consti- tution was to grant greater authority to the B. S. U. at large, to clear up the poorly-worded sections in the old constitutions and to establish the requisite of a budget lor the B. S. U. The new budget provided that 25 per cent of all student contributions go to the cooperative program of the Southern Baptist Conven- tion. This practice has been .1 value in teaching stu- . I. -nis m ' jive wisely to Christian causes. Comments such as the greatest series of services I have ever heard were made concerning the week spent at Wake Forest by Dr. Harold W. Tribble, presi- dent of Andover-Newton Seminary. The campus was different because he had been here. In spite of mid-term exams, thirty-five or more stu- dents travelled to High Point, October ji to November J, for the Stale Baptist Student Convention. Though returning in need of sleep, they all agreed that it was one of the best conventions ever attended, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Religious Focus Week marked efficiently conducted and well-attended socials. These events served the two-fold purpose of offering social activity and calling the student ' s attention to a thoughtful observance ol religious occasions. The most important single event sponsored by the Baptist Student Union was the Religious Focus Week held February 1-8.

Glenn Blackburn, Dr. Sankey L. Blanton, Rev. Nathan C. Brooks, Rev. James C. Cammack, Rev. W. Perry Crouch, Dr. Ralph A. Herring. Mrs. Edgar L. Hillman, Miss Marjorie E. Moore, Rev. James A. Neilson, Rev. James W. Ray, and Dr. Casper C. Warren. Underlying the special activities of the B. S. U. were the day-by-day activities for the spiritual enrichment ol Wake forest students. The group sought to enlist every student in some religious activity made every effort to encourage the growth of spiritual interest in the minds of the students of all faiths. It endeavored to link together the student, his home church, and the college church, and. through its unit organizations, offered opportunity for intellectual growth and Christian service. Because many students find it hard to pray in privacy, the B. S. U. kept two prayer rooms to meet this need. Each morning at 7:30 students gathered in the Little Chapel for a period of Morning Watch for devine guidance for the day. The perfect conclusion to a day of classes were the evening vesper services of music and meditation. The Sunday School, the Baptist Traininn Union, the Young Woman ' s Auxiliary, the Christian Service Group, the Religious Education Club, the Cullom Ministerial Conference, and the Wake Forest Baptist Church were constantly working to provide oppor- tunities for Christian instruction, inspiration, service, and growth. For students who were looking for them. Christian activities were abundant. Through an extension director, students interested in religious service in the churches of the surrounding area were able to help the people of these churches and gain for themselves experience in church work. whether they planned to do professional Christian work or not. Probably the year ' s greatest achievement of the Baptist Student Union was the efficient operation of permanent religious organizations for those who wished to attend. But the B. S. U. was not content with that. They took seriously the admonition of Christ to go into the by-ways and hedges and compel them to ccme Focus Week was charac thought; Rev. I. W. Ra ized by a lot of fun as well nd Dr. Blackburn try a little .l.ip- PUBLICATIONS Compiled by a relatively small group of students, yet affecting to a large degree the entire student body, the three publications — Old Gold and Black, The Howler, and The- Student — transmit the weekly and yearly stories and the literary talent of Wake Forest College. The busiest centers of activity on the campus, the three offices resound with the staccato of typewriters into the wee hours of the morn- ing. . . . THE PUBLICATIONS BOARD Wake Forest College publications are directed by the joint student-faculty publications board, a board which directs allotments and general courses of action for them, but which in no case dictates editorial policy for either the newspaper, the magazine or the yearbook. The board is composed of the editors of the three publications, their business managers, representatives from those publications, the president of the student body: plus the faculty advisers to newspaper, mazagine and yearbook, and certain administrative officials of the college. The greatest duty of this board is the election of the several editors and business managers — deciding on the eligibility of the candidates for editorship and voting on them: to secure men who are competent rather than trust the election to the capaciousness of campus politics. to quote the constitution of the stu- dent body. As the quality of Wake Forest ' s three publications has shown in this school year of 1947-48. the board has done an excellent job in the choice of editors — Shaw of the Old Gold and Black, Robbins of The Student and McMillan of The Howler. The Publications Board was instrumental in aiding Al Parris and Henry Randall to make plans for the installation of a radio station on the College campus. Through its efforts the Station will enjoy equal status with the three publications. OLD GOLD AND BLACK Old Gold and Blink is the closest to the students of the three campus publications, That is probably true be- cause the paper has become a thing alive to a staff Which has learned to put it to bed every Tuesday night over three or four years. Because the paper conies out each week (while the yearbook appears once a year and the mazagine only six times) it assumes a more definite personality for those who work with it. Old Cold reporters and editors repeatedly testify that they live not from Sunday to Sunday but from press night to press night. Old Cold and Mark. too. performs a function different from that of other publications. It is a newspaper record in considerable detail of each week of Wake Forest ' s life: campus issues brewing or boiling over; an editorial congratulating the victorious debate squad; the story ol .1 Little Theatre production; of a Religious Focus Week. One week there was a memorial edi- torial to a student who had been killed in .111 auto- mobile accident: the Wake Forest spirit is such that by the loss of one member all others are the less. And there have been funny things: dangling participles and misprinted headlines and Wamboogie fillers. Editors Shaw and Glasgow have driven an admir- able editorial course this vear. Leldon Kirk finished n-Chiej in 1948 three years as music critic and editorial writer. Harold Hayes contributed a column not without malice aforethought, as did Santford Martin.

Succeeding Bynuin Shaw and Dick Williams as Editor and Business Manager respectively of the Old Gold and Black at the beginning of the second semester were Jesse Glasgow and Carlyle Morris, both of whom admirably continued the commendable work of their predecessors. As a fitting reward for an excellent job. Old G old and Black was named the best college newspaper in the state at the annual session of the North Carolina Collegiate Press Convention which was held in Durham in March. The Wake Forest College newspaper was selected over those of other schools in the Big Five for highest honors in the Class A Division. The award was accorded by judges, who are recognized as top-flight journalists throughout the nation.

Managi i THE STUDENT The liest college magazine has been called the best writing of the best writers on the campus. The Wake Forest College Student magazine this year has certainly been that. Under the editorial hand of graduate student Bill Robbins, it has presented some distinguished student writing to its readers in the year 1947-48. The Student during the Robbins administration has shown still another side of Wake Forest publication — different from that which either the newspaper or the yearbook could give. The magazine is essentially an outlet for the creative writing of those members of the student body who can and do write: with an occas- ional guest article done by members of the faculty, among them Dr. Hubert McNeill Poteat. Prof. A. Lewis Aycock, Dr. Budd E. Smith.

The book is more, though, than a mere record of who has been in school here from time to time. It is. in these passages of print w hich many people never read until years after they have left school, the narration of most of the activities of the classes and the extra- curricular organizations on the campus during a given period. There are. of course, the traditional columns of faces and names and senior distinctions; but there is a long record in words and many pictures of the sports scene, of the productions of the College Little Theatre, of the Baptist Student Union ' s contribution to the school life for the year, and the fraternities ' , and the language organizations ' — and so it goes. This year, too. there is a featured section of life on the campus: weiner roasts and bull sessions, glee club concerts and hitch-hikers, orators and hospital patients. All such a book can add up to is the record, in permanent form, of another year in the history of the College we ' ve .

Of course, he couldn ' t have done it if the staff hadn ' t put in hours sweating to meet publication deadlines. Somehow, when the time came, the copy was all in and the plates were in the hands of the printers. After the reading of the proofs it was all over but the shout- ing. The tumult had long since died, and there wasn ' t enough strength left for shouting. The whole staff deserves credit. McMillan and Bernie Eisenberg did much of the organizational work, but a score of men and women did the copy, from the preface to the end-piece; others typed and pasted pictures and read proof and copy and stayed up late nights helping get things in order when speed was needed — without them this book could have not been made. With them, it is a record, which, if incomplete, is an admirable one of the Wake Forest of the late forties. James Howerin ) ' , ' .  ;- rj Manager Top: Photographer for The Howler, Mr. T. A.

MUSIC Sending their beautiful strains into every recess of the magnolia-studded Wake Forest College campus, the blended instruments and voices centered on the upper Hoor of the Music-Religion Building provide an indis- pensable part of the cultural aspects of the College, give expression to the joyous spon- taneity of the life in it. . . . and Claude K.

Ably assisting Professor McDonald- -or Mr. Mar as he is amiably known— has been Mr. Claude Cook, who joined the faculty this year after his discharge from the army where he distinguished himself in work with major musical productions both here and abroad. L T nder the leadership of these two men music activities have reached new heights at Wake Forest College. Not to be overlooked are Lucy Rawlings and Bob Sawyer, student assistants in the Department of Music, whose versatile abilities and untiring efforts have been to a large degree responsible for its success. Within the larger Glee Club of some seventy-five voices are the Male Octet and Quartet, the Girl ' s Sextet, and the A Cappella Choir. Though the Mali- Octet has been prominent in the College ' s music pro- grams for years, the Sextet and Quartet have arisen recently and the A Cappella Choir was developed only this year.

Haughtily strutting out onto the football fields, this group put a thrill into the heart of every loyal Deacon and added that indispensable touch that made the gridiron battles and pep rallies the big events that they were. The Band played for the two home games in which Coach Peahead ' s roster met the teams from Georgetown for their first game and Duke at Homecoming: it also performed at the Carolina, State, South Carolina, and Duquesne games played away and represented the University of Missouri in their game with Duke at Durham. The Band was also on hand for parades held at Winston-Salem before the Duquesne game, and in Raleigh for Armistice Day and a Christmas celebration. The big event planned by the music department for the spring is the participation in the Magnolia Festival with a concert to be held in the Wake Forest College Chapel on the 2nd of May and the presen- tation on May 7 of H.

FORENSICS and DRAMATICS Enjoying for many years a position of national prominence in forensics. Wake Forest College yearly produces top-flight debaters and orators trained in its debate squad and literary so- cieties. Its dramatics are acclaimed through the endeavors of a progressive Little Theater which presents to the public throughout the year interpretations of the classics of the stage. . . . Left to right: Daniel Lovelace, Henrv Huff, Samuel Behrends, Robert Crouch. Marcel Humber, Vernon Wall, Jr. DEBATE SQUAD Membership on the- Forensics Squad is open to either graduates or undergraduates who are interested in any phase of speech work. Particular emphasis is placed on debating. Advising the Forensics Squad is Pro- fessor A. L. Aycock, while Henry Huff has served as the student manager during this year. Special attention was given to those students who joined the squad in the fall, these men proving them- selves capable of upholding the outstanding record achieved by Wake Forest debaters all through the years. They were Bob Crouch, Lamar Caudle, J. B. Scott, and Vernon Wall. In looking back over the achievements of the squad since last spring, one is greatly impressed by the im- posing list of tourneys entered and won. Without some of last year ' s standbys such as Sam Behrends, Kermit Caldwell, and Bob Smith, veterans Henry Huff and Dan Lovelace, under the guidance of Pro- fessor Aycock, successfully led the team. The Forensics Squad boasts the following record from March of 1947. In that month the teams of Henry Huff, Dan Love- lace, Sam Behrends, and Kermit Caldwell competed in the Southeastern Forensic Tournament and won decisively, gaining thirteen victories out of fourteen debates against teams representing universities and colleges from Virginia to Florida. The following month Sam Behrends and Henrv Huff teamed together . Prof. A I. Aycock. Graham Burden, to become co-champions of the National Pi Kappa Delta Tournament held in Bowling Green, Ohio, while Bob Smith and Dan Lovelace were competing in the Grand National Invitational Tournament in Fredericksburg, Va., placing high though not winning. In May, Huff and Behrends went into the finals of the National Invitational Tournament at West Point, X. Y. The activities lor the season 1947-1948 began with a trip through Virginia and the District of Columbia in November, in which teams of Scott. Caudle, Huff. Lovelace competed with squads from colleges in that area. Next, Lovelace and Huff won the Virginia Invitational Tournament held at Charlottesville, Va., in February of 1948. Representing Wake Forest the next month in the Southeastern Forensic Tourna- ment this year, members of the squad consisting of Crouch. Scott. Candle, and Huff tied for first place with the University of Florida. In January Huff and Lovelace engaged in a recorded debate with the Uni- versity of New Mexico. Plans for the spring included participation in the Grand National Invitational Tournament at Fredericks- burg, Va., in March, the Southern Speech Association Tournament at Nashville. Term., in April and the Pi Kappa Delta Regional Forensic Tournament to be held in Columbia, S. C, and the National Invitational Tournament at West Point in May.

Alter the initiation ceremony early in October, the group held an informal reception in the Phi Hall. Designed to give as many members as possible a chance to participate, the programs featured every form of speaking during the semester. An impromptu was assigned at each meeting, which in most cases was of a humorous nature and was the particular delight of the rest of the Society. Many members distinguished themselves by winning contests on Society Day. Bill Joiner and Hugh Dover took the Debate Cup at this time in debating on the query; Resolved, that a world government should be established. Bill Joiner, in addition, was adjudged the best debater ol those competing. Bill Wagoner won the declamation contest and Harriet Smith won the poetry reading contest. The Euzelian Literary So- ciety copped the rest of the honors on Society Day. Hugh Dover, following Tommy Stapleton as presi- dent at the change of se- mester, announced a plan for action intended to en- hance the Phi Society ' s . . | 0MM , Si if % chances lor winning ma- President jority honors on Founder ' s Day and winning the All-Campus Sing. Lmder the capable leadership of the officers, the Society estab- lished a better reputation for itself and inserted a grow- ing influence in the many phases of campus life. In the year 1947-48 the Phi ' s succeeded in continuing the fine traditions of their long history. SOCIETIES brook, Wright. Lib Gil Hardin William Pennell, G. B. Randolph.

The Euzelians won the Society Day prize by a score of 52 to 48. Pat Murphy won in the oration contest, Robert Winecoff won the extempore competition, Ehvood Orr took first place in inpromptu speaking. Bill Lamb was the best of the dramatic readers, and Edsjar Cristman gave the best after-dinner speech. The Phi ' s won the remainder of the events of the week. The Eu ' s organized a football team, but conflict- ing events prevented any formal inter-society games. A chapel program was given in January, offering the best oration and best after-dinner speech of Society Day. The society again pre- sented Dr. Hubert Poteat in his reading of Green Pastures in the Wake Forest Baptist church in October. This event has become a tradition, greatly appreciated by the stu- dents. . Kermit Caldwell In the spring, a roun- President der ' s Day banquet was held climaxing a week of speech events similar to tlmse of Society Day. The society participated in the All- Campus Sing, and commencement orations on the subject. Christ In Modern Life. in which several members participated, brought to a close another progressive year.

Forrest Sherrill, Tommy John THE LITTLE THEATRE HI Under the capable leadership til Presidents Orville Robinson and George Mallonee and with the in- valuable advice of Dr. Hermon Parker, the Little Theater completed an active and successful year. The group continued to meet every other Thursday night in the Little Theater room on the third Moor of the Alumni Building: the group con- tinued to present plays as its main contribution to the campus life. But this year the organization grew, Resident improved, and added to its many activities. Realizing that three major productions during the year did not give sufficient opportunity to talented persons who wished to try themselves in various phases of dramatics, the Little Theater adopted a plan where- by one-act plays were presented at the meetings of the organization. Three outstanding such plays deserve special mention: The Red Lamp directed by Mary Gilmer Cocke, Death Cups directed by Kitty Jo Beasley, and a Thanksgiving play written and directed b) Lucie Jenkins and Margaret Grumpier. The dramatic society also added to their mans ac- tivities by sponsoring the Barter Players of Virginia in Shakespeare ' s immortal Twelfth Night. The Little Theater further decided that a few improve- ments should be made in the organization ' s structure. and a new constitution was ratified during the fall semester. The most important provision of the new constitution was the creation of a new type of mem- bership — associate member — awarded to those who had done one-half of the work required for full mem- bership. The new constitution also created a new office of publicity manager. In the spring, the Little Theater joined with the School of Religion to present an interesting and touch- ing Easter play, directed by Margaret Grumpier, a religious education major and a member of the Little Theater. In addition to presenting its own plays, the Little Theater joined with the Department of Music and the Woman ' s Athletic Association to present the First Annual Magnolia Festival, which began May 1 with a May Court, continued throughout the following week, and included concerts by the Music Depart- ment; two one-act plays by the Little Theater; H. M. S. Pinafore directed by Clifford Bair, instructor in voice, and Jim Hobbs, member of the Little Theater; and the annual All-Campus Sing. During the year the dramatic group brought three major productions to the boards of the local high- school. Two farcical comedies and one romantic drama composed the repertoire of the year. Under the able direction of Mary Gilmer Cocke. Out il the Frying Pan played a two-day engage- ment before the local audience, July J4-J5. Hilari- ously picturing the life of six aspiring young actors and actresses who try to crash Broadway, the play was acclaimed a successful production. Paul Moyle. Dot Oline, Boh Phelps. Emily Stacy, Vivian Snuggs, and Jim Hobbs performed creditably as the six struggling stars. Others in the cast included Gerry Sims, Mari- annia Morris, George Simmons, Harry Dorsett. Johnny Gardner, and Mack Parrish. The complications in the life of Corliss Archer were disclosed to the world and kept the students laughing for two nights, October 14-15. A farce concerned with the effect of gossip on the daughter of one of the town ' s leading citizens who kept mum about her best friend ' s marriage, Kiss and Tell presented a cross-section of American youth from an Army flier to the neighbor- hood brat who proclaimed that it ' s all very dumb. Much of its success was due to the director Mack Parrish and to the four leading characters — Fifi Creigh- ton, Lansford Jolly, Billie Bryan, and Johnny Gardner. Other notable performances were given by George Mallonee. Carol Oldham, Leldon Kirk. Virginia Dickens, Paul Moyle, Vivian Snuggs, Clyde Mitchell. Mary Gilmer Cocke. Carlyle Morris, Jim Hobbs, Ray Jones. In the third major production of the year romance succeeded farce. The tender and beautiful love story of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning again lived in a play entitled The Barretts of Wimpole Street, presented March 10-11 at the local high school. In her first attempt to direct a major production, Kitty Jo Beas ley did an excellent job. Bouquets also went to four new players who made their initial appearances to the Wake Forest Stage — Jewel Adams as Elizabeth Barrett, Zeb Morgan as Robert Browning. Margaret Grumpier as Henrietta Barrett, and Allan Johnson as Mr. Barrett. Others in the cast who deserved notable mention were Garland Gunter, Mary Gilmer Cocke, Allen Johnson. Betty Deane, Lucie Jenkins. Ray Jones, Jim Burris, Bill Clark, Leldon Kirk, and John Gibson. Top: Gilmer Cocke directs a re Pan, a summer production, hen Hobbs.

PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL Each of the eleven fraternities on the campus selects two of its most dashing men and sends them as repre- sentatives to this body — the fraternity government. Each Tuesday night these twenty-two men meet and under the guidance of President Hiram Ward and Faculty Adviser L. O. Rea discuss such various matters as whether the Howi.er pictures will be taken in sport suits or tuxedos, whether the girls ' corsages will be of orchids or gardenias, and whether the dance assessment for the Deacs who are Greeks should be five or ten dollars apiece. The major activity of the Pan-Hellenic Council is the planning and governing of the activities of the fraternities. Rules about rushing, pledging, and initi- ating of new men are made each year and offenders of the rules established are fined by the body. It encourages each chapter in its individual efforts by awarding trophies to those who are the most outstanding in intramural athletics and scholarship. By far the most important concern of the Council is the planning and arranging of dances held generally during Homecoming, Christ m a s, at mid-winter, and in the spring. The mem- bers arrange for the orchestras, chaperones, publicity, and r chapter parties. The Pan-Hellenic Council also funct necting link between the faculty and gulate the individual oils ,1 the li ■ con- nilies. The Fall of 1947 and the Spring of 1948 proved to be a most successful social season as the Pan-Hellenic Council sponsored three dances for the Wake Forest fraternity men. The loss to the Duke Blue Devils in the Homecoming Game did not trouble the fraternity men and their dates as they entered Memorial Auditorium on Oc- tober 25. Nationally known Randy Brooks and his orchestra, appropriately dressed in gold and black, sent forth the music. The Deacon Greeks ushered in the holiday season of Christmas with private cabin parties, house parties, private dances, and just parties on Friday ni j;ht. But Saturday night found them in a gay holiday mood and dressed in their best tuxs and tails with beautiful girls on their arms as they danced to the sweet music of Ken Keely and his orchestra in Memorial Auditorium. The Man who Pastor-ized music, ' Tony Pastor, and his orchestra made the Mid-Winter Dances over- shadow all other social events of the year. Forced to delay the dances until March 12 and 13, Pan-Hel made the delay worth while. On Friday night the fraternity men and their dates treked to Memorial Auditorium for the semi-formal affair. The crowd had sufficiently awakened to return to Raleigh for a tea dance Saturday afternoon, and on Saturday night he auditorium was filled to capacity at the formal.

Under the capable leadership of Ralph Bland, presi- dent. Cliff Parker, vice president, George Bar- rett, secretary. Mill Wil- liamson, treasurer, and Dr. Jack Nowell. faculty adviser, the fraternity accrued innur honors. In the field of sports, Harry Clark served as co-cap- tain of the varsity football team and with Tom Fetzer, outstanding tail-back, well represented the lodge on the football field. Jim Billings won his letter in track; Paul Bennett played basketball, and Baldy Harris and Gene Hooks were on the baseball squad. Gil Billings commanded the college football band as head drum major and Dan Josey represented the KA ' s on the tennis court. Well represented in other extra-curricular activities, Bob Drake as president of the sophomore class and Pete Caudle as a member of the debating team, were typical. First row, lejl to right: E. L.

Not only was the organization outstanding in in- dividual achievements, but they, as a group, made other accomplishments. The most noticable of these was in the field of intramural athletics. Sonny Martin, Pic Stanback, O. B. Teague, Joe Tate, Lee Adams, and Roy Culler led the Southern Gentlemen to the fraternity football championship. Under the direction of coach Bob Drake, the KA ' s produced a commend- able basketball team and placed high in the Softball, volley ball, track, golf, and tennis teams. While striving to uphold their record of scholar- ship of the past years, the men of Kappa Alpha by no means neglected their social life. With Pic Stan- back as Social Chairman, the fraternity participated in the Pan-Hel sponsored Homecoming, Christmas, and Midwinter dances. The group then joined with the PiKA ' s and the Kappa Sigs to present the Spring dances. Also numerous open houses, breakfast parties, and informal cabin parties at the Tar Heel Club ac- companied the dances. ■In reviewing a year ' s history of Tau Chapter of Kappa Alpha it can easily be seen that the order has grown in size, unity, and quality of membership. She has captured numerous honors throughout the years and has laid the framework for further advancements when she enters her new home in Winston-Salem. Pledges of this year who will carry this torch of Kappa Alpha for the next few years included: Paul Bennett, Robert Black, Don Burden, David Clark, Dick Clark, Henry Cooper, Dan Denton, Don Early, Sterling Gates, George Gentry, Ed Griffin, Ferd Harrison, Lynn Holcomb, Eugene Hooks, Ray Jones, Herbert Paschal, Charles Williams, Paul Williams, and John York.

Founded at Boston Col- lege, Boston, Massachuse- tts, November 2, 1909, the Lambda Chi Alpha social fraternity has grown to be the largest international college fra- ternity in the world. On August 31, 1939 Theta Kappa Nu Colony be- came Theta Tan Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha at Wake Forest College. Since the fraternity was reactivated in 1946 Theta Tail ' s record has shown notable progress with members holding their share of positions of responsibility in many aspects of campus activity. Very outstanding have been men entrusted with student body offices, includ- ing class officers and representatives to the Student Council. Graham Barefoot served last year as presi- dent of the Freshman Class, Harry Douglass, this year as secretary-treasurer of the Sophomore Class. The fraternity officers for the year were Henry Huff and Carroll Glover as presidents for the two semesters; John Matthis and Jack B. Scott, as vice-presidents; L. B. Settle and Jack Overman serving as secretaries during the two terms. The fraternity has been fortu- nate in having such capable officers to lead it through the year. Not to be overlooked by any manner of means is Bill Fleming to whom the fraternity is deeply indebted for an excellent job performed as social chairman. Open house was held after all the football games played by the Deacons this year. Large numbers of alumni were entertained at each of these occasions. The buffet supper held after the Homecoming Game with Duke was particularly well-received this year. The chapter plans to make the arrangement of such a buffet supper an annual affair during Homecoming. G. B. Barefoot, Jr., J. I. Burnev. Jr., W. W. |. I.. Chestnutt, G A. Douglass, H. W. K J. H.

Comprising an important event on the over all social agenda, this spring dance is being looked forward to by the fraternity in hopes that it will continue to be an annual affair as it was among the North Caro- lina Zetas before the war. This year the dance was held in Durham. The members of Theta Tau also participated in all the Pan-Hellenic dances given at Homecoming, for Christmas, and Mid-Winters. A memorial service was held by the fraternity this spring also to dedicate a plaque as a memorial to all members from the chapter who gave their lives in service to their country during World War II. This service was attended by many of the families of the men who lost their lives in this war. The chapter ' s record this year in extra-curricular activities is one in which it may well take pride. Out- standing in speech work was Henry Huff, who in addi- tion, to being Student Manager of the Forensics Squad and president of the chapter was selected to Who ' s U ' hii Among Students in American Universities and Colleges, and elected to Omicron Delta Kappa, honorary leader- ship fraternity. Capable representatives of the chapter along publi- cations row were L. B. Settle and James Howerin. Settle w as a dependable standby on the production of the weekly editions of the Old Gold and Black. Jim Howerin was business manager of the Howler, and in addition served as vice president of the Publications Board. Assisting during the first semester was Charles Neal. The fraternity also boasted of such musicians as Hooper Buddy Johnson, who in addition to being a member of the Band, headed an instrumental group made up of other talented musicians on the campus which was very much in demand for dances at the Community House.

This year Dr. Folk and the two presidents, Elbert O ' Connell and Earlie Jones, guided Al- pha Nu through one of its most active seasons since its organization in 1938. In athletics, the fraternity had no winners, but fielded good teams in all phases of intra- mural activity; in social life, the members partici- pated in all the Pan-Hel sponsored events, and presented some themselves. Sigma Pi was well repre- sented in campus activities — Student Council, Literary Societies, Phi Beta Kappa, Who ' s Who, Omicron Delta Kappa, Publications, Little Theater, B. S.

He had been initiated into the Sigma Pi fraternity less than a week before his death, having been a pledge for many months. The son of a distinguished Fayetteville family, he was a reserved boy with an unfailing sense of both propriety and humor. He was a fine raconteur, with a stock of anecdotes which always brought a hearty laugh and a lasting feeling of good will. Tom was an amateur poet with a facile gift of verse, a gift which wanted only time and a leading hand to develop into lasting song. He had a ceaseless pleasure in the country round about Wake Forest; he took long walks and came back glowing with pleasure to tell his friends about some bird he had seen, some farmer with whom he had stopped to talk, the way a certain tree near the golf course — a favorite tree of his — had begun to turn. Tom Hunter had the human touch, inescapable to all who knew him. He had about him an aura of con- tentedness. He had a way of speaking sometimes — not quite a drawl — which made his hearer think of the gracious and leisurely spirit of the South in which Tom was so happy to be, a manner which had time to just relax and enjoy life. Take it slow and easy, he said more than once to one of his friends, and enjoy the simple things. The simple things are mighty im- portant. For those who knew Tom Hunter his tragic and un- timely death has made a terrible void. We shall not forget him. Frater ave alque vale. I85 KAPPA SIGMA i T. Che Founded at the University of Virginia, 1869. Delta Omega chapter installed, 1938. In looking back over the year, the members of the Delta Omega Chap- ter of Kappa Sigma will long remember it as being worthwhile in virtually every respect. Efficient- ly led by its president, Dick Chesson, the fra- ternity inserted its in- fluence into all phases of campus life, present- ing outstanding leaders, engaging in and bene- fiting from interfratern- President ity activities, and enjoy- ing a period of substantial growth and development. The Kappa Sigs began their social activities by join- ing with the other fraternities in the Homecoming Dance on October 25 followed by a gala costume party of their own held, at their house on Hallowe ' en — Oc- tober 31. For the holiday celebration. Kappa Sigma joined in the festivities of the Pan-Hel Christmas Dance which was followed by a fraternity yuletide party held one week before vacation started. The Mid-Winter Dances were the next big events on the social agenda. Finally came the Spring Dance and the Kappa Sigs unfolded their tuxs for the last big fraternity social function of the year. The members of the chapter were active in almost all aspects of campus endeavor. Outstanding in scholarship were Gene Medlin, David Fuller, and Judson Trueblood.

Elected to Omicron Delta Kappa, honorary leader- ship fraternity, were Jesse Glasgow and Gene Medlin. Glasgow was also selected to Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges, and was elected editor of the Student his junior year, editor of the Old Gold and hlaik during the spring of his senior year, and president of the Publications Board during his last year. Also active in publications were Judson Trueblood, assistant editor of the Howler, contributor to the Student, and Bob Grogan, a dependable standby on the 01,1 Gold mill Black. In athletics, Vern Mustian and Russ Batchelor were familiar figures on the baseball diamond, and John Gibson, Harry Dowda, and Frank Lukowski performed on the gridiron. Kappa Sigma contributed teams in intramural football and Softball and made plans in the spring for the organization of a fraternity golf team. Active in student government were Jesse Glasgow and Gene Medlin, senior representatives to the student council, Charles Medlin, president of the Junior Class, and John Gibson, vice president of the Sophomore Class. Dick Bowling was grand Alchemist of Gamma Sigma Epsilon, honorary chemical fraternity, Harold Reddick served as vice president of Pan-Hellenic Council, and Ed Hancock and John Gibson were representatives to the Progressive Fraternity Party Council. Pledging one of the largest groups of any fraternity during the fall, the chapter acquired twenty-three worthy men in October, supplementing the fifty-one active members on the roll. Eighteen of the pledges were initiated into membership by the time of the Mid- Winter dances. Much of the activity of Kappa Sigma was concerned with making improvements on their house. Ii was extensively redecorated before Homecoming, and among various changes were the moving of the back chapter room from the north to the south side and the repaper- ing of both this chapter room and the one in front. Plans for next year include the building of an outdoor fireplace and the setting up of an extra room in the attic. Top: Reynolds and Bill Castellow have a rough time try- ken Dick Chesson.

Founded at the College of the City of New York, 1899. Beta Lambda chapter installed, 1938. The Beta Lambda chapter of Delta Sigma Phi enjoyed another suc- cessful year under the able leadership of Nathan Cole as president and Dr. C. S. Black as faculty- adviser. Thirty-seven members and six pledges returned to the fold in the fall. After the old pledges were initiated in- to the fraternity as mem- bers soon after school began, thirteen worthy men were pledged at the end of the rush season. As it appeared last summer that some of the married brothers would not be able to have their wives with them at school because of the housing shortage, the first floor of the fraternity house was renovated to ac- commodate married couples, six couples moving in during the fall. It was not an unusual sight to see a sewing circle going on among the wives. Warren Smith is due much praise for his efficient managing of the house; Lee Greene for his excellent managing of the dining hall. The fraternity enjoyed a full social calendar. The Homecoming, Christmas, Mid-Winter and Spring Dances were primary among the gala events of the year, these being interspersed with numerous parties. The social committee performed an admirable job of making the joint meetings of the members and pledges held once a month the success that they were in bind- ing the fraternity together. The Delta Sigs were very active in both intercollegiate and intramural sports. Eleven men from the lodge First row, left to right: B. B. Allen, W. C. Auld, J. M. Birchett, J. N. Brogdcn.

Brother Nick Ognovich won the coveted Jacob ' s Blocking Trophy for the third straight year and was also selected as the most valuable member of the football team. Much enthusiasm was shown in the intramural football contests, both in the stands and on the field, the fraternity losing but one game during the season. The sports zeal did not weaken at the close of the football games. Basket- ball was supported with the same earnestness and success. In the varsity starting lineup were two of the members: Co-Captain Deran Walters and John Red O ' Quinn. In the intramural basketball phase, the Delta Sig team set a new campus scoring record by garnering 65 points within a single game. The fraternity ' s volleyball team represented the college at the Big Four Field Day held at Duke University. The chapter had fourteen men graduate this year. Among these were outstanding leaders in athletics, fraternity life, and many other phases of campus activities. Seniors completing their career at Wake Forest College were Nick Ognovich, who was elected to Omicron Delta Kappa and whose football prowess has been mentioned; Don Hipps, one of Coach Walker ' s trusty blocking backs and senior representative to the Student Council; Elbert Forde, past fraternity presi- dent; Von McLean, football manager and last year ' s Junior Class president; and Jeff Brogden. stellar gridiron performer and senior Pan-Hellenic Council represen- tative; Bob Leonetti and Jim Camp, dependable guards, the nemeses of opposing linesmen; Eben Rawls, fra- ternity vice president; John Whitfield, past fraternity treasurer; Willys Hooper, past Pan-Hel representative; Warren Smith, house manager; and Frank Meacham and Bill Johnson. These men will be missed not only by the fraternity but by the college as well. In the late spring in addition to the thirteen pledges who were initiated into the full membership five new men were pledged. With the election of John O ' Quinn as president, the Beta Lambda Chapter of Delta Sigma Phi is looking forward to another banner year.

Founded at the University of Virginia, if Phi installed, 1939. Under the able guid- ance of Presidents George Teague and Allan Knott, assisted by associate of- ficers Lewis Lee, Roy Moore, Bill Casey, Ken Nance, Tom Johnson and Charles Bell, Gamma Phi of Pi Kappa Alpha experienced another stell- ar year placing it high in the ranks of Greek- letter socials. Outstanding among the year ' s events stood the revival of the annual Founder Pika tradition that yielded to the exigencies of wartime living. This year Gamma Phi took the initiative by inviting the chapters of the fraternity from Duke, Caro- lina, and State to join in the celebration. Professor M. J. Hagoud, former faculty adviser, returned to deliver the principal speech, and the Tar Heel Club was the scene of renewed fellowship and extended brotherly ties. The year saw the participation of Pikas in all the major fields of campus endeavor. Douglas Mclntyre, Ed Stanfield, and Charles Bell sat as members of the Student Council, Mclntyre serving as treasurer of the student body. Grady Patterson, business manager of the Student, Lee Royal, Roy Moore, Basil Watkins, George Isaacs. Bill Royal and Andy Goodwin repre- sented the fraternity along publications row.

The Pika intramural basketball team, two-year champions, again brought honors to the chapter and, in addition, encountered semi-pro teams from neighbor- ing towns and teams from the other chapters in t In- state. On the social calendar the dances and parties, gala and mirthful, were happy times amidst the impending drudge of studying and exams. At Christmas the chapter held one of its finest parties in years at the Tar Heel Club, with Prof Willis Murphy filling the shoes of Santa Clans. Mid-Winters with its three dances to the music of Tony Pastor signaled the passing of snow and sleet and the promise of better golf and tennis days. May eighth.

North Carolina Zeta began its year of activity with full strength — the two houses being filled to capacity and the din- ing hall, under the super- vision of Housemother Madge Winders, serving approximately a thou- sand meals each week. The distinction main- tained by the SPE ' s was in no small way due to the inspiring and able leadership of its officers: Ney Lynch, President; Thomas Gibson and Bobby Walden, vice presidents; John Hardaway, comtroller; Emile Fisher, historian; Campbell MacMillan and Gil Brande, secretaries; Mrs. Madge Winders, housemother; Dr. H. B. Jones, faculty adviser. The Sig Eps were again well represented in all phases of campus activity. Two of the major publication offices were held by members of the chapter. Bill Robbins served as editor of the Student and Campbell McMillan, as iditor of the Howler. Ed and Walt Friedenberg were also active in publications as assist- ant editors of the Howler. In the field of dramatics, Jim Hobbs was student director of the operatta H. M. S. Pinafore. The fraternity placed two men on the Student Council — Bill Wood and Clyde W. Whitener; Bill Wood was also Secretary of the student body during the Spring semester. Hiram Ward held the highest fraternity olfice on the campus, that of president of the Pan-Hellenic Council.

Rushing season opened and X. C. Zeta pledged seventeen men to begin one of her most prosperous years. The Sig Ep Rerun, official chapter newspaper was published and distributed during homecoming and again in the Spring. The ational Conclave was held in Kansas City, Missouri, in September and this chapter was well represented with the presence of the delegate, sub-delegate and four member supporters. The business executed at this convention has already begun to make its mark in Sigma Phi Epsilon improve- ments. Record albums of favorite Sig Ep record- ings were made and distributed by the National Office. and Wonderful Sig Ep Girl, sweetheart song, made its debut over radio station WPTF. December 2, 10.47. In social activities the fraternity was in no means lacking. It joined with Pan-Hel Council to present the Homecoming, Christmas, and Midwinter dances in Memorial Auditorium. They then presented the Spring Frolics in junction with the Pi Alpha Delta, Theta Chi, and Alpha Sigma Phi. By far the most important social event of the year was the Sig Ep Ball, which marked the beginning of an annual affair for the five North Carolina chapters of Sigma Phi Epsilon. This formal ball, held in April in Greensboro, was a noted success. Housemother Winders was pinned-up when the chapter presented her with an official sweetheart pin and guard as a Christmas gift and as a token of ap- preciation. In the field of athletics. N. C. Zeta was an active participant and fielded much better teams than the too-few victories indicated. During Homecoming week-ends, the Alumni Board of the fraternity met and discussed problems for the year and for the move to the new home in Winston- Salem. The fraternity is not only enjoying the present but making extensive plans for the future. John Hardaway, a member of both Phi Beta Kappa and Great Greeks on the American Campus, was elected to serve as fraternity president during the spring.

The name is new; the tra- dition is not, nor is the spirit, for it is as re- spected and well-estab- lished as its members who founded it twenty- years ago. The presenl day Alpha Sigma Phi on the Wake Forest Campus low is the result of a consoli- President elation between that fra- ternity and the former Alpha Kappa Pi, and many of its present members are those AKPi ' s who remoulded the organization while preserving within the group the same ideals and standards which have made it an integral part of the memories and lives ol the active and alumni brothers. Like other fraternities on the campus. Alpha Sig ' s active membership dwindled during the war to a hand- lul ol brothers who fought hard to keep her nose above the financial waters. But today, it is an active organi- zation, confining its activities to no one phase of college life, but reaching out, expanding, and winning recog- nition in every type of campus activity. When the proposed movement to Winston-Salem began to materialize, Alpha Sigma Phi enthusiastically endorsed the college ' s plan of land allotment for fra- ternity houses and made allowance in the budget for a special building fund.

It began after the Georgetown game when the doors were thrown open to all and friends, families, and alumni brothers dropped by for the refreshment of food and old acquaintances. During Homecoming weekend, a Deacon bent over to baptize a Blue Devil in front of t he house, and when he came up with the trophy for the best Homecoming decoration, the sun which had been forced behind the clouds by the Deacon ' s defeat reappeared and shone consolingly upon the faces of the Alpha Sig ' s. The fraternity joined with Pan-Hel in presenting the Homecoming. Christmas, and Midwinter dances, but combined its resources with Sigma Phi Epsilon and Theta Chi to present the Spring Frolic. Meanwhile, the athletes in the fraternity began to groom for the tag football inter-fraternity competition, and shortly thereafter, the basketball team received the worry and solicitation of the fraternity as it fought through a most successful season. One of the most outstanding events at this particular time was the highly competitive contest between the skinnies and the fats of the fraternity. Characterized by mistakes, oaths and sore ligaments, it proved to be uproariously entertaining and a return engagement was immediately demanded by the defeated fats. Near the end of the semester, the new crop of pledges proved their mettle when Enlightenment Week descend- ed. For the first time, they were instructed from a differ- ent handbook, but the respect and deference w hich they dutifully and rightfully paid the members might well have been an old story with a new name. They came through. During the year, the fraternity has given and re- ceived many memories. It has progressed as has its members under its guiding hand. As in other organi- zations, there have been moments of despair and dis- couragement, but working together has proved to the members that Alpha Sigma Phi is not a fraternity in name only, but an actual brotherhood. In work and play, the tie has been bound closer. Top: Dub Johnson, and Jim Poucll plav checkers as Dave Aus hand. Bill Powell, and Amis Daniels kibitz.

With Professoi Thane McDonald .is thier adviser, these men soon united into an active and progressive men ' s club, Willi the coming of the war. however, the club was drained of its membership, and as Wilbur S. Doyle , , . President a result, the organization dissolved. In 194 ,. before the returning members had reorgan- ized their group, they conferred with representatives nl Sigma Chi, one of the leading national fraternities. On the basis of the information received at this meet- ing, the men decided to form a local Greek letter fra- ternity. In the sprint; of [946 these men united to form the present local fraternity, Zeta Chi. A charter ui Sigma Chi is their ultimate goal. The year the Zeta Chi ' s began the term with strong determination to put their local organization on a par with the leading national fraternities on the campus and to pave the way for the future affiliation with Sigma Chi. With this in mind, most of the fraternity ' s ac- tivities for this year center around the formation of this national order. The members of Zeta Chi have been greatly assisted in realizing their goal by the efforts of Dr. W. B. (Daddy) Ricks, past Grand Consul of Sigma Chi; Dr. Roy McNight, the Grand Praetor of the North and South Carolina Sigma Chi Province; and Dr. Frank Powers, in whom the fraternity owes a great deal of thanks fur his helpful suggestions and- advice and for the personal interest which he has shown in the welfare of Zeta Chi. The social calendar this year was very much the same as it has been in past years. It was opened by the Homecoming dinner party held in honor oi the Duke University Sig ' s in the Zeta Chi chapter room, climaxed by the annual Homecoming Dante. Shortly after followed the Christmas Dance. The fraternity has enjoyed several informal get-togethers and ban- quets throughout the current year. Plans are being made for a banquet al Gresham ' s Lake welcoming representatives 1 the various chapters of Si ma Chi in the Province. The main events on the calendai for the future are the Midwinter and Spring Dances. I he fraternity took an active interest in the Intra- mural Athletics Program; though our teams were not the crowned victors, we usually managed to put up .1 good fight. Zeta Chi had the pleasure of keeping the Scholar- ship Trophy in its chapter room this year, striving to keep it there throughout the next year. The fraternity is also providing seven Departmental Assistants in both arts and sciences. The members of Zeta ( hi realize the importance of scholarship and try to attain a high academic record as well as to enjoy social life. Having formally established itself as an efficient local fraternity and gained respect among the national fraternities on the campus. Zeta Chi began its climb this year to strength and prestige. Its members hope that the future will see the fraternity bear as its badge, the Norman Shield of Sigma Chi. Upper left: Doyle. H. over a hand in bridge a; Cirkman, Hardin.

THETA CHI Founded at Norwich (Jni colony installed, i 4 7 . The nationally organ- ized Theta Ghi fraternity has made rapid prog- ress at V;ike Forest, since iis birth here on March 27, 1947. At that time five men were chosen to establish a colony of the fraternity here at Wake lores 1 .. These men were Kent Bennett, Clarence Caro- wan, Jimmy Hampton. Bobk D.Allen Jack Johnson, and A I President Parris. Since its begin- ning last March, the fraternity has grown in member- ship to nineteen men. and a chapter room has already been erected. At the beginning of the Fall term of 1947. the fra- ternity ' s chief objective was to rush plans for the erection of the chapter room by the end of that semester. Under the capable guidance of President Bobby Allen and house manager Bill Stovall, the building rapidly took shape between June and December and was ready for occupancy by the middle of January. The house, which is located west of the gymnasium on the old Durham Road, includes a bath, a kitchenette, and a room large enough to house three men comfortably. The construction of the house was a long hard struggle from the beginning to the end, but the men of the fra- ternity have the satisfaction of knowing that they did the job well and that they have what it takes to make a fraternity — a group of boys with the spirit for working together. At present, the members of Theta Chi at Wake Forest are joined to the national fraternity only as a colony; however, all of the members belong to the nationally organized Theta Chi fraternity. Although the chapter has raised its membership from the original five to the present total of nineteen, they lack the mem- bership of twenty-five which would make them elegible for installation into Theta Chi as a full-fledged chapter. They are continually trying to maintain that number and at the same time to limit their membership only to those most desirable men; they expect to have the prescribed number [ ' members in the very near future. Due to tlie fact that the members were using must aa  .. ' ■ • •  1 of their time in working on the chapter house and in organizing in other respects, the social activities ol the fraternity were greatl) curbed during the fraternity ' s first two semesters of existence on the campus. In spite of this, they found time to s] sor several banquets ,H Wooten ' s Hometel and the Wake Forest Inn. They also joined Pan-Hel in presenting the Homecoming, Christmas, and Midwinter dances, and later joined Sigma Phi Epsilon, Pi Alpha Delta, and Alpha Sigma Phi to present the Sprint; dances. Nor was the group lacking in other extra-curricular activities. James Hampton and William Stovall found time to go to Pan-Hel meetings, Kent Bennett went to the Student Council and Al Parris started a radio station. Although not winners, the fraternity fielded good teams in every phase of intramural athletic play. Now that Theta Chi has become firmly implanted .a Wake Forest, one may rest assured that it will make a name for itself for which all of the brothers and the college may be proud. This will be due. in no small part, to the council offered by their faculty advisers F r. C. H. Patrick and Dr. H. B. Miller. Upper I ' ll: All the members pose for a pictur and Ed Harris stand by.

Members of the larg- est student body in the school ' s 114-year history have crowded into classes, dormitories, and dining estab- lishments in such great numbers that hurried expansion has I urn unable to keep pace with the demand. New cafes, new stores, and hastily built homes have sprung up everywhere. There have been many changes; the very air seems permeated with a spirit of unpre- cedented bustle and activity. Yet life has not really been very different from life ,]| Wake Forest in years gone by — not in the many little everyday things which loom so big in later re- collections of college days. Those things remain pretty much the same through the passing years, even through a war which has affected profoundly many young men ,in(l women who are now Wake Forest students. In the following twelve pages, you will find a record of life .11 Wake Forest during the past year. This is not a chronicle of the big events, the stories that made the headlines in Old Gold and Black, nor is it a history of the school year. It is simply an account of the ordin- ary things we did each day, those little things which will stay with us so long as a part of our fond memories of college life. For most students, the day began with the insistent jingling of that very helpful but very unpopular creat- ure, the battered alarm clock. No matter how late the hour of its piercing call, one felt an almost over- whelming impulse to push the cut-off switch and sink back into the bed for just a few minutes more of rest. Some plucky individuals got up in time for break- fast at the cafeteria or at their boarding house before eight o ' clock classes, but the rest had to go without, or dash to town later for a mid-morning, between-class breakfast at P. D. ' s, Dick Frye ' s, or Peyton ' s. All who had early classes listened for the first bell of the morning, which rang without fail at ten minutes 10 eight. For those who were quick dressers and who lived near their first period classrooms it often served as an alarm clock as well as a call to class. Large, overcrowded classes put added burdens on both teachers and students, but few seemed greatly up- set, and the student body succeeded in earning one of the highest scholastic averages ever achieved here. Three times a week there were chapel services, held for the first time in the partially completed chapel building. But heating plant defects and unusually cold weather forced authorities to transfer services to the Baptist church during the winter months.

Those who were lucky might find a check waiting for them at the post-office, which meant that they could stop by the bank on the way back to the campus to stand in one of the few lines they didn ' t mind —the line to the cashier ' s window. For the veterans, those checks came on the first of each month, or at least that ' s when they were due. If they didn ' t arrive on time, Mr. Frank Castlebury, the Veterans Administration Field Representative, was usually plagued all day with inquiries and pleas from puzzled G. I. ' s. This, of course, was not the only subject which the vets had occasion to discuss with Mr. Castlebury, There were always many other problems, including the important matter of grades. And such problems also troubled many students who were not veterans, as Dean Bryan knows only too well after the many conferences he held each week with worried students.

Some- times it was there that pre-medical students. receiving- Doctor Mackie ' s or Doctor C ' .orbin ' s expert care, first realized that maybe their long, tedious hours of lab- oratory work, which at times seemed so purposeless, really amounted to something after all. But those students who on a given day held con- ferences with college officials or went to the infirmary for treatment were a small minority, greatly out- numbered by the many students who just got to- gether and talked. On warm days there were always students standing outside the student center, and others sitting at the old fountain, or on one of the benches dotting the campus, or on the cool, green grass These pastimes were curtailed this year, however, by one of the worst winters ever known here. Stu- dents were frequently driven indocrs. and the recrea- tion room became a very popular hangout, while the book store and student center were crowded every morning. Doug Mclntvre. T. H.

There were eight major establishments where Wake Forest students ate meals this year, and each had a personality all its own. Perhaps most in the limelight was the Wake Forest Cafeteria, still called Miss Jo ' s by many students, although it was no longer operated by Miss Jo Williams, the former proprietress. The cafeteria ' s specialty was yoghurst, which was offered in a wide variety of forms. The prices at which this and other delicacies were sold caused some unfavorable comment early in the year, which finally resulted in the lowering of prices to more satisfactory levels. The College Soda Shop, better known as P. D. ' s. was most frequently patronized for late morning break- fasts and for steak suppers. Many students have claimed that P. D. Weston ' s waffles and steaks are the best in the state.

Two fraternities, the Delta Sigs and the Sig Eps. had their own dining halls, where meals were served to visitors as well as to members. Especially was this true at the Delta Sig house, where many students who were not members of the fraternity ate regularly. Some students often ate at Dick Frye ' s. and others went there occasionally for meals at unusual times. since his serving hours were longer than those of others.

Early in February the campus was blanketed with the deepest snowfall in fifteen years, and ice and snow covered the ground for nearly a month. Sculptors, sleigh riders, and snow- ball hurlers had a gigantic field day, but they eventually welcomed cover just as eagerly as did the less hardy individuals who remained inside Students didn ' t wait for freezing weather, however, to flock to the short order grills and soda fountains. They crowded into such places every day, spending a veri- able fortune on between-meal and bedtime snacks. Right on the campus was the bookstore soda fountain, which each day during chapel was as crowded as the stadium at a homecoming football game. At P. D. ' s soda fountain the biggest rush came just before the nightly seven o ' clock show, while Peyton ' s, more popular for hamburgers, sandwiches, and coffee than for soda foun- tain concoctions, was usually busiest later in the evening.

Students often went to Edwards Pharmacy for magazines, hut they didn ' t patronize the soda fountain very frequently, especially after the bus station was moved to the new building at the foot of the hill. That building also housed Fort ' s Bar-B-Que. which was patronized more often by travelers than by students. Forest Heights.

At any rate, they spent a lot of time at play, and played a little hit of everything. Whether it was piano or pool, base- ball or bridge, there were always students eager to join in. They ran the gamut of games from football to checkers, using with equal enjoyment athletic equip- ment borrowed from the gym and the ancient checker- board in the back booth at Tom Holding ' s.

There were many in whose daily lives meditation or study or romance played a very important part, and there were few whose experi- ences did not in some measure involve all three. Each day at twilight a goodly group gathered at the church to sing songs of worship and devotion and to hear organ vespers. On warm evenings in early fall and late spring they sat on the church steps to sing, sending forth eventide hymns which created an atmos- phere of quiet repose as they floated out over the campus. Every evening after vespers a serenade of concert recordings was broadcast from the bell tower atop Wait Hall. Some students sat on campus benches listening to this music, while others went to the library or to their rooms to study.

Under a magnolia near the old fountain sat a broken down bench which was a favorite rendezvous. Less secluded but just as popular were the bookstore booths and dormitory parlors. The students who dated still had to study, however. and unless they studied together while dating they some- times found themselves among those burning the mid- night oil. Two hours outside study for every hour in class, the professors had said, but it was so hard to stay awake, especially if one ' s room-mate lay in bed asleep ! So one by one the night owls would cut out their lights and turn in. as quiet descended on the Wake Forest campus. Our story would not be complete without a glimpse at the week-end. One professor has said that the week-end really lasts five days, since students spend Thursday thinking about it, Friday, Saturday and Sun- day on it, and Monday recovering from it. Maybe he exaggerates, but the week-end is still an important institution here. This year, many Wake Forest students went home on week-ends, often traveling by air ( Air you agoin ' my way? ). For those who stayed at school there were parties, dances, and Sunday record concerts, as well as many religious activities.

Twenty-one candidates were in the running, and twenty-two votes were cast. The extra voter, the one who was actually the deciding factor in the race, was Wilhelm Bithoone. sometime member of the Clinton Volunteer Fire Bri- gade. He has since dropped out of school, there being a lot of fires down around Clinton this time of year. Mauney, who was elected president, comes from Linchfield. where he was for three years an inmate of the Linchfield Academy, a school upon which a few aspersions have been cast but which is nevertheless still in operation. Mauney ' s main campaign plank was 1 have never held public office before. There is no better qualification. Look at Truman. Davey Clark, elected to the vice-presidency, did not choose to run, but his mother made him. So did the KA ' s. Davey was talking about withdrawing but the KA ' s, with whom he is pledged, came around and told him to remember Hell Week. The main plank in his platform was Down with Hell Week. The election of Carol Oldham was something else. Carol was actually not running for secretary of the freshman class. She was running for secretary ol the Monogram Club. H. T. P. Hayes is secretary of the Monogram Club. He got a letter for weight lifting. That ' s who she was running for, but the freshmen didn ' t know that. They saw her name on .1 poster and just went ahead and wrote her name in so much that she was elected. Interviewed at a local beauty parlor where she is employed as a mud-pack applicator. Miss Old- ham declared that since she was elected she would serve. She also plans to enroll in the college. The newly-elected officers met late today in the back room of the Freshman Officer ' s Club to draw up plans for the year. Their main goals sound very optimistic, but probably not too impractical. 1. At the end of their first year all freshmen who pass as many as six hours of work, excluding Freshman English, shall be designated as seniors. 2. No one shall be allowed to sell benches, mag- nolia trees, or classroom desks to Freshmen without a written slip granting permission signed by a fresh- man class officer. 3. Such a slip may be secured from any freshman class officer for one dollar and a guarantee of ten-per cent of the receipts. 4. Freshman girls are required to date the president of the freshman class at least once every month. This is designed simply to see how they are getting along. 5. Freshman boys are required to date the secretary of the freshman class at least once every month. This is just to insure that, she will get along well. 6. Davey Clark will have to look out for himself. 7. Everyone who flunks an hour of a freshman course must pay into the treasury one dollar for every hour not passed. We want to leave the school a million dollars. 8. Class officers shall be exempt from such tax. Late today, sometime after the resolutions had been posted, rvornegay said in an interview, Well, no more Fteshman Class. STUDENT WINS SUIT WITH POST OFFICE October 15, 1947. The Student, Wake Forest College ' s occasional periodical and organ of campus radicals, anti-vivisectionists, and barber majors, this week won a legal dispute from the United States Post Office De- partment, it was announced yesterday by Hale Robbins, acting editor in the absence of her father, William H. Robbins, who for the past month has been posing as Whistler ' s Mother in the art gallery of the Louvre (Paris, Term.), Miss Robbins stated that the controversy grew out of the Post Office Department ' s alleged refusal to handle The Student because of its un-American tend- encies. For the past six years The Student has refused to accept advertising from the American Tobacco Company on the ground that they wanted to pay off in Luckies. Editor Robbins smokes Spuds. Yesterday ' s 5 to 4 decision by the Supreme Court will make possible the circulation of thirty-six issues which have been stored in the locker room of Gore Gymnasium. Coac h Phil L ' tley said he was glad to have the magazine off his hands. We ' ve lost three tailbacks and a station wagon in that pile of Students. Heretofore the magazine has been circulated hand-to- mouth. and complaint has been heard that it makes mighty poor readin ' , chewed up that way. Asked if he was going to abide by the court ruling, Ute Wigwam, local postmaster and current gazer of the star route, held up an unwavering right hand and queried bravely, How?

The two men who distinguished themselves by passing at least nine hours of work are Duh-h Dumbrowski, of Kitty Hawk, N. C, and Silent Dave Fooler, Whiteville, assistant in the departments of German, English, French. Physics, Biochemistry, and Biblical Archaeology. Dean D. B. Bryan, Dean, is known to have stated in a golf foursome this morning that it certainly is unusual. and other members of the administration have expressed similarly mild feelings of pique. Student leaders, however, were more explicit in their condemnation of the state of affairs. Caldwell Revere, big students ' rights man and perennial candi- date for freshman representative to the student council, mounted a snow-white steed and galloped around the campus last night inciting dilated pupils to rebellion with dies of Verstehen Sie das Deutsch ! Henry Blair mounted a soapbox and made a speech of some sort. He got a reaction of some sort, but lor the most part students were out of sorts. A committee appointed by student body president Eggnog Korsikofl made a host of findings about why everybody flunked out and things like that. Tomas Stableton, KorsikofT subordinate, pointed out four sections of the report as having the most significance: 1. It has not been sufficiently impressed upon stu- dents that they are supposed to attend class. 2. Some- one should be appointed in each class to keep students led that all students had flunked out of college administration called in an expert on grades, fellow named adbuilder. He is shown telling Dean Bryan and Dr. Kitchin t there ' s nothing else for it. The College has got to go! awake. 3. His duties should also include keeping the professor awake. 4. A disinterested third party should be delegated to keep the official waker awake. Silent Dave fooler, on the other hand, has issued a 65-page mimeographed, stereotyped, illuminated treatise on the subject which he compiled as a fresh- man term paper. Very little of his report is available yet in English translation, but it is understood that the ringing theme of the work throughout is, This is Wake Forest ' s prime evil: the bubbling wines and the hem looks. It is expected that in a week or two this whole thing will be forgotten and students will once again be sleep- ing in classes where not even the prolessor is awake. .. .

Turkey Day TURKEY DAY SHOOT December 9, 1947. -An estimated crowd of 37 fans and three dogs turned out here today for the 48th annual Turkey Day Shoot, postponed two weeks because Patrolman A. Moss Rock had confiscated all firearms in an attempt to stem the tide of library book pilfering. As an innovation over recent years, all contestants in this year ' s Shoot were required to use blank cart- ridges. This was found necessary, a spokesman for the sponsoring Twentieth Century Bull and Crapshoot- ing Club said, because last year four of Dr. Bryan ' s pet bantams and an unidentified instructor in Yiddish were inadvertently wounded, several of them fatally. At this date only three casualties have been reported, not counting women and children, and it is expected that any fatalities will be blamed upon something else. Grain speculation, for instance. In former times as many as 23 professors have been felled by stray bullets. Pellets have been known to stray as far as three miles, according to Tom Holdingpenalty, Wake County Game Warden. Known casualties this year were Turk. E. Gubble, who suffered a contorted cartilage and a reprimand from the Dean of Women when he was kicked back- ward into Room 307 of Bostwick Dormitory by an ill- timed misfire; Jock G. Entree, who was startled from a love-tryst alongside the Neuse by retrievers and suf- fered a slight chill after a five-mile swim; and Fats McGoog, who stuck his head unwittingly into a twelve- gauge shotgun and was double-barrelled into the eighth hole of the George W. Paschal Golf Links, where he collided with a birdie. When it was learned that five contestants were hunters from Chagrin Falls, Ohio, Bob Leon Eddy, the only other entrant, was declared winner. An un- official but usually reliable source said that Eddy made good 27 out of 5,796 shots, which is pretty fair when you consider that nobody knew where the target was. Jack S.

Doing the LITTLE THEATRE PRODUCTION Wake Forest, January 1 5 — The Little Theater rolled the curtain down last night on its fourteenth production of the year, The Banshee of Swamphole Street, a three-act primeval suspense by Ikum Frum-Acave. The cast included only three actors and there were absolutely no props. There was a lot of symbolism, though. The leading role of a primeval deaf-mute known simply as Man was played with convincing realism by Pall Mall, who enhanced the part by adding a few of his own personal idiosyncrasies such as grunt- ing and walking and wearing a bow tie. Playing opposite Mall as a prehistoric dinosaur, known over simply as Dinah, was Jewell Macadam. It was rather difficult to watch her and picture her as a dinosaur but the Little Theater probably did the best it could. The third character in the play — a prenatal child — was represented on stage by an unopened envelope containing a dun for room rent which had been bor- rowed from Earle Connelly, who collects them. In the third act came the highlight of the play. Man, sitting in the middle of the stage fondling the prenatal child, known also simply as Dun, was encountered by the Dinosaur. Man cast Dun aside and began to do battle with Dinah. At the climax of this quaint and whimsical scene, Man and Dinah ate each other up. Dun. lying oft ' to the side where he had been cast by Man, suddenly realized that there was no one left to care for him. He began screaming in a tragic voice, I been done! I been done! The audience, realizing that this was the end of the play, rose up and shrieked appreciatively, So have we! So have we! At this point there was a shift in time element and all that was visible was a mail carrier walking down a macadamized road. Little Theater bigwigs say that the play ' s director, Mihow Beastly, deserves all the credit for the pro- duction ' s success. Miss Beastly is a junior from Robat, Morocco. She played the role of a narrow street in Meet Me At the Casbah, Hedy and the was in charge of claques and curtain-calls for The Legend of Whoopin Holler.

LONELY HEARTS Wake Forest, Feb. 13. — For decades and yea, lo these many years, potential Wake Forest Valentinos have had to give vent to their frustration by migrating to the Angel Farm, St. Mary ' s, Peace, and H. F. D. W. (Home for Delinquent Women) in order to secure dates, chicks, skirts, and the like. But not this year. No sir! You can bet your life! Not this year! This year Wake Forest Valentinos have not had to go to the Angel Farm. St. Mary ' s, Peace, and H. F. 1). W. (Home for Delinquent Women) in order to secure dates, chicks, skirts, and the like. This year Wake Forest organized its own Lonely Hearts Club. Meeting in the hallway beside Snyder ' s Emporium members gave programs of a diversified nature under the supervision of Dr. I. Needsom Lovin . At one meeting, for instance. Boll Leon Eddy taught everyone how to make dandelion chains. He got married right after that. Meetings during (lie first semester were of a dull listless nature, especially when everyone got tired of making dandelion chains. However, at the fust of the second semester the club broke away from a long- obsolete tradition and invited coeds to join. It wasn ' t long before Wake Forest Valentinos were migrating lo Angel Farm, St. Mary ' s, Peace, and H. F. D. W. (Home for Delinquent Women) again. The club ; s no longer in existence. lis last official act was to elect a King and Queen of Hearts. They were supposed to be the loneliest people on the campus. There were so many entries, however, that the judges never got around to counting all the ballots. They claim they will announce the winners later. Chances arc they won ' t.

When it is accomplished the audiences are supposed to stomp on the floor and shout Bravo! and Encore! and Vodka! But what does the Wake Forest listener do? Rush up with first aid kits!

As a matter of record the Leningrad troupe turned in an altogether masterful performance, handled with dignity and subtle slapstick. We must admit that at times it sounded like the brass and woodwinds were playing two distinctly different numbers, but that, we have come to believe, was only to show the amazing range and versatility of the Yladimirina: it is not every conductor who can conduct two separate pieces and perform a soft shoe shuffle at the same time. Most appreciated of all numbers rendered, although we must confess it is one with only popular appeal, was Igor Beevor ' s Seventh Symphony, commonly known as Who Put the Jello in John Kirby ' s Cello?

Raleigh, March 18 — The Leningrad Symphony, which played at a nearby college last night, has dis- covered that it was actually supposed to appear in a brewery at Milwaukee. Wisconsin, and not in Wake Forest at all. Legally it will not be entitled to collect for its Wake County performance at all. Appreciative Wake Forest students have started a drive to collect money towards defraying the orchestra ' s expenses. At noon today student officials had collected $3.84, or about 600 roubles.

CLOTHING DRIVE Wake Forest, April, i — The April Fool Clothing Drive for students attending college under the G. I. Bill in foreign countries ended today at least twenty-five shins short of its original goal of thirty. Major reason for the Hop u.is the withdrawal of the support of Hair Rolled Causeway, proprietor of Causeway ' s Laundry. Enthusiastic about the drive at first, the launderer lost interest when it was learned that the clothes were to lie sent directly to Europe without cleaning. Other students, however, were more willing to co- operate. A few coeds were so enthusiastic in their giving that the Dean of Women was forced to restrain them lest there be not enough barrels to go around. One barrel case was reported, but our information is that it came as a result of gaming at cards and not the clothing drive. Most liberal giver was Zeb Margan-Browning, who gave three socks, a suit of winter wear, three shirts, and .1 slip which he claimed someone left in his car. He later look all of the stuff back when he found it was going to Europe and not the Laundry. People contributing to the clothing drive were April, Fool, Royston, Blurt, and Humphries; Stanley, Livingston, Paul, Silas, and Underwood; Amo, Amas, and Amanti Sunt; Stone, Daid, Brown Todd, Bell, and Fleming; Umstead and Wilhelm Bithoone. Canvassers for the clothing drive drop by the Alpha Sig house to sign up contributors. A left, is Lon Lee, who has just given his shirt. The canvasser in foreground has given his all.

Other people, petty officials and such, are waiving writs of primus noctis. MOOT COURT SESSION Wake Forest, April 27 — Wake Forest ' s Moot Court held its last session of the year here yesterday with the well-known Danish international lawyer Silanpaa Shy- stravitch sitting in judgment over the civil suit, Snyder versus Poindexter. The controversy arose when Everette Snyder, owner of the College Buch Store, a growing concern, accused P. D. Poindexter of violating the Monopoly Act by annexing a cafeteria onto the rear of his Soda Shop without concern for Snyder ' s growing. Poindexter, no little piqued, brought cross-suit against Snyder for distrustfully suing him when they had trustfully agreed to split the take and alleged that Snyder ' s suit was in direct violation of the Anti-Trust Act. The Board of Trustees of the College, realizing that something distrustful was in the wind, sued both Poin- dexter and Snyder on the grounds that they were cor- rupting the student body by offering free coca-colas. This, claimed the Board, was an open attempt to sway whomever might be empaneled for jury duty. An official of R. J. Reynolds tobacco Company be- came involved at this juncture. In a moldy May issue of Breezy Detective he read about the case and realized that here was afforded an excellent opportunity for a Camel endorsement. Snyder, upon being contacted by the company, consented for an undisclosed fee to have his statement read before the court to the effect that I have smoked Camels for seventeen years be- cause they go well with the hump on my back. Poindexter, knowing for a fact that Snyder had been smoking Sensation cigarettes for seventeen years be- cause they are two cents cheaper by the pack, and assert- ing that the hump on Snyder ' s back is not a hump at .ill but a bag full of Confederate money which Snyder carries on his person just in case, immediately filed another suit as a rider to his original one alleging that Snyder had violated the Uniform Declarations Act. It sure was mixed up. Counsels for the plaintiff were Guy Cox, well known tor his ability to prove anything by the Ten Command- ments, and Same Behrends, about the same. Lawyers for the defendant were Bill Gleming, well known for his ability to make something out of nothing, and Paul Bell, well-known. Several other law students were desig- nated attorneys-without-portfolio and were charged to jump into the argument at any time on either side. Two spectators known only as Joe fell from a second story window of the courtroom while attempt- ing to jump into the argument. Throughout the entire proceedings of the case the visiting judge, Shystravitch, sat in a dignified silence, thoughtfully munching a box of Danish pastry which Poindexter had very thoughtfully provided. When the time for decision came the silence was deafening. A firecracker went off somewhere in the room. It was deafening, too. Silanpaa Shystravitch rose to the full height of his impressive nine feet, and in a voice simply loaded with deliberation and responsibility he said, No spik English. Shystravitch was thrown out of court. ■ jury, mven a day off during the Snyder trial pauses for re- hment, provided by Snyder in the judges chambers.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA— first among nations in national income! First in production of wheat, corn, cotton, petroleum, coal, and iron! First in commu- nications; in motor vehicles per capita— first in many essentials to good living and prosperity. And directly related to that position of leadership Is our standard of education— for it has been shown that a country ' s wealth and welfare rise along with its educational standards. And countries rich in natural resources can be poor and backward with- out the benefits of education. Yes, the United States is a leader in the field of education too—but ' for how long? Appalling con- ditions prevail today in many of our schools. Many of our most brilliant teachers are working against ted us i.uhh, odds— crowded classrooms, shortages of equipment and textbooks, long hours. . . . Thousands have left the profession for other work. You, and every United States citizen, will suffer from this situation, because it cannot help affecting our national prosperity before long. WHAT TO DO? Today— make it your business to take these two steps: 1. Check up on educational conditions in your local schools; 2. Back up and work with organizations seeking to improve teachers ' working and living conditions. For only by keeping our educational standards high can we hold our place in the world and assure a prosperous future for our children. re b) EDWARDS BROUGHTON COMPANY Printers : Stationers : Lithographers : Engravers Raleigh, North Carolina For Whose Help The 1948 Howler Expresses Thanks Dr. Edgar E.
