Thousands of students have come and gone since its esiaMishment, but each has come to love and cherish its uariiiih: each has come to feel that spirit which is so viiaL Its educators, its supporters, its students have made it Nvhat it is today. And nou , as the college mo es, many things will be fondly remembered.

We have pros- pered here, and may we never forget our heritage, though we may never know this familiar setting again. 1956 Vc have made frequent pilgrimages to Reynolda, and with much enthusiasm we look forward to continued greatness there. The fine structures will soon house our academy. The chapel will become a place of inspiration. The classrooms will soon ring with the song of learning. .And we shall become attached to her beauty and we shall re erencc her halls. Years again will stretch before us; traditions will blend anew the threads of memory into a rich pattern. But the heritage which began in 1K.14 will continue to inspire her students. B To these two — viS-5 7 To Dr. GL-jigc C;. Mackic, college physician, and Dr. Ora CI. Bradbury, professor of biology, we dedicate this hook. Dr. Mackie will end his afliliation with the college this year, while Dr. Bradbury will continue service on the faculty. Dr. Mackie came to Wake Forest C ' ollege in 19.1(1 as . .ssociate Professor of Physiology and Pharmacology. He became college physician in 1941, and has served faithfully and well, devoting long hours to the administration of the college infirmary and to the general health and welfare of the students. At the same time, the good doctor has main- tained a busy private practice. Many times Dr. Mackie has been known to double the length of his consultation hours at the infirmary to give treatment to students in need of medical care. This book is a symbol of our gratitude to him for this service to the college. DR. GEORGE C. MACKIE DL f A DR. ORA C. BRADBrRY Dr. Bradbury, a scholarly, slightK slonpecl professor of biology, came to Wake Forest in 192. from the Midwest. Before joining the biology department he taught at two western universities, having received his doctorate Irom the University of Nebraska. .• bout Dr. Bradljury a student once wrote: If you see a white-haired, balding man walking across the campus with his hands in his pants pockets, obviously lost in thought, he may be thinking about any of his many projects, but any of these will readily give way to a genial, sincere interest in the problems of a student who seeks advice. Anv student can tell ou that Dr. Bradbury is devoted to those he teaches as well as Kj his work. His willingness to help the disheartened; to guide the aspiring; to give himself in service to students, is worthy of all prai.ses we can bestow. }imik ' Mmm m}i 193 Your 1956 HowiER is a record of a siijnificaiU car in the ClolleEje ' s history — a year which marks the end of one era and the bes inning of a new. The underlying theme of 1956 was of course the impending move. The administration was geared for high speed planning and decisive action. The students held in their minds either rosv pictures of the lu.xury of the new campus or a joy that they would graduate at Wake Forest. Organizations were faced with the problem of relocation. There was an.xiety concerning whether or not the new Wake Forest would retain the intangible features of friendliness and spiritual warmth that have made her great. Each old and young heart was saddened at the thought of leaving the beautiful setting that had for over a century felt the surging life of Wake Forest. Seeing these aspects of the year 1956, the staff sensed the need of a voluine which would capture the impression and hold it in a simple pattern. A history of the college recounts the dreams of educators who have given Wake Forest a heritage of culture and learning. The Scholastic section presents the people who have caught the dream and are a part of it. The spirit is expressed in the organiza- tions and student activities found on the campus todav. Finally that thrilling, vital aspect of Wake Forest, its campus life, is depicted. Wake Forest College has a great heritage. It is a dream that lives. It is a spirit that grows greater with every defeat and triumph. This book is a product of a vear rich in the heritage of the past and the hope of greater accomplishment in the future. Wake Forest Cullcyr will soon occiips one of the most beautiful campuses in the South. Planned by Jens Fredrick Larson, one of the country ' s most distin- guished educational architects, the campus will provide facilities for more than 2,lllHl students. Its library will accommodate SOO, ()()() xolumes, more than 7 times the space needed by the college ' s present library. The School of Business and the School of Law will ha e spacious buildings near the beautiful University Cen- ter. Wait Chapel, whose spire rises 230 feet into the air, will play the central role both spiritually and architecturally. The potentialities of the new campus will allow for almost unlimited i;riiwlh. Wake Forest has always lieen a school dedicated to the advancement of Christian principles, progressive in its nature. This move is an e.xprcs.sion of such characteristics and prophetic of a new era of service for the college. The new campus is in keeping with college ' s !v!ffiP 5BSB83BnB!5IBT5EIiK? mm i mtii. m ' «, H TABLE DF CONTENTS HISTORY SCHOLASTIC ACTIVITIES CAMPUS LIFE ID 16 S2 14B ! 1 The infinite character of a great man is always new and refreshing. Dr. Kitchin ' s work is the dociuiicnt of his wisdom, his leadership is the symbol of his integritx, and the good he did is the imperishable fruit of his failh. Dr. Kitchin became a member of our faculty in the fall of 1917. He was an eminent teacher, a distinguished dean, and a man of rare vision and wisdom. His record became so brilliant that, in 1930, faculty, students, trustees, alumni and others drafted him into the office of president. Dr. Kitchin could have achieved success in any one of several other fields. For example, his genius as a medical diagnostician was so amazing that he could have established the n-pulalioii of : .Sir William Osier in any great medical center. Bui, willi ihr wisdom and the lUlcr unselfishness of that peerless man who, at the close of the CUvil War, went to little Washington College in Virginia, Dr. Kitchin came to Wake Forest and gave his life to Christian edu- cation. Dr. Kitchin the builder was, first of all. Dr. Kitchin the man. He was a paragon of modesty and manliness. He treated any person — old or yotuig, cla laborer or states- man, illiterate or scholar, white or ecjioiecf — with imaf- fected courtesy. He was a peacemaker, but he never hesi- tated to fight in defense of a principle. He truckled to no man, and he treated no man as his inferior. Alwa s a physician at heart, he took his consuinni.ni- skill inio am home — prominent or destitute — where hi w.is needed, and he ne er charged a dollar for his work, lie g,i c sound advice to hundreds of students and a Imsi ol otlur people for he was a wise man who kniw a lliousand things. .• nd, along uith all these fine qii,dilic-s. Dr. Kitchin was SniWtl iIh- isscnee of luunilil . ' Ilie spotlight had n j lure for him; applause held no charge. . t the outset of his administration he rclused to ha e an inauguration; and at the close of his administration, while a friend praised him Dr. Kitchin walked alone among elms and oaks and magnolias. He so completely lost himself in what he tried to do that he forgot personal fame and prestige. The innermost secret of Dr. Kitchin was his Clhristian faith. Dr. Kitchin ' s faith was refined in the crucible of ast pidbleius and experiences. He was a scientist. He reflected u|ion nuclear energy; he pondered stellar galaxies oulslniehed in timeless time and spaceless space; and he re. id the nui,ssi e pages of geology, filled with records of plants and animals. With the perceptivencss of a John Stuart Mill, he recognized nature ' s impersonal forces. He was familiar with human history, and he noted the rise and the decline of civilizations. A keen student of human nature, he was aware of selfishness and benevolence, of justice anrl injustice, of saintliness and evil. As a physician, he observed birth and death, active youth and enfeebled old age, the glow of health and the agony of illness. He kni-w religion, and, with the insight of a William James, he distinguished between form and reality. Dr. Kitchin ' s failh was no product of wishful imagination; it rested upon the deep-seated conviction of the existence of unseen, enduring truth. His laith was not a public spectacle; it was a sacred reality. For Dr. Kitchin the CUiristian way was paved with luring truths. The paving stones of that way were justice, ratitude, mercy, com- pon thcni with as- 1 irtucs kindl passion, suranee, is the foi and he |: alr.iid. H s, humilit ' , s mpathy, i and niinistr .

A man ' s personality and spirit can only he portraxed to another throus h a medium no one has yet disco%ered. To those who knew James Grover Carroll, he was indeed a great factor in their lives, and to those who have only heard of him, he is a legend. A great teacher, a true scholar, and a gentle friend, Professor Carroll had that matchless spirit of humor and wisdom that is welcome in an circle, whether it be the company of the unlearned or the well educated. He retained a remarkable humility in the glow of his successes, and comiriunicated to others a faith unshakable in his difficulties. Not only will he be remembered for his work, but he will be remembered for the man that he was. For thirty-five years Professor James Grover C ' .arroll devoted himself to teaching mathematics at W ' ake Forest College. In the spring of 1955, town people, fellow faculty members, and students were saddened by his illness and death. Professor Carroll was affectionately known as Pop or Fess to his students. Although he had reached retire- ment age the previous year. Professor Carroll continued teaching mathematics by special request and planned to do so until the college moved to Winston-Salem. After graduating from Wake Forest with honors, Pop taught at Wingate High School for ten years and then at Clemson College. He received an M.A. degree at Co- lumbia University in 1920 and did graduate work at Duke University. Many of Professor Carroll ' s most valuable contributions were made outside his line of duty. For many years he served as chairman of the faculty-student committee on orientation. His familiar figure during the three day fall orientations was a welcomed sight to bewildered freshmen and harrassed upperclassmen. Pop Carroll ' s interest and support of the athletic program at Wake Forest has become almost legendary. In order to help athletes keep up with their studies as well JAMES GLOVER CARROLL as their games, he spent many hours outside the classroom coaching them. For seven years he served as graduate manager of athletics for the college. In connection with his love for athletics and athletes, Professor Carroll became the faculty advisor to the Mono- gram Club. One of the members of the club gave him the name Pop. The young athlete had lost his own father before he had a real chance to know him. Professor Carroll was a man so likable in his naturalness and consideration for others that he unconsciously won the boy ' s admiration and love. Before many weeks the young man began thinking of the Professor as his own father, and in more than a small way, he was a son. He told Professor Carroll, If I had a father. I ' d like for him to be just like you. In class he never mentioned cheating, but at the bottoiu of astronomy exams were printed these words, Confucius say: man no cheat when talking about heavenly bodies. Another favorite expression in partial explanation of a mathematical axioiu for which there was really no adequate one — Oh, that ' s just an old Spanish custom. Pop was an appropriate name for a man who would give what he termed a few tablespoons of encouragement to those who had become discouraged. His life was distin- guished by his love for people of all ages. He could usually see humor in an otherwise depressing situation. He in- stilled in those around him a determination and a spriit that is typically Wake Forest. He was a man of many names — Groser, John, Fess, and Pop —but of a single purpose, to live lo ing.

WAKE FOREST HERITAGE the pride of accomplishment Nestlctl in llic (|uicl, rriencli - illauc of Wake Forcsl lies the magnolia-studded campus ol Wake Torcst College. This school is rich in colur, a hustling, crowded marketplace of thought and learning. Here each year approximately 1,400 young men and women gather for an experience that may lead them to the doors of maturity. In new buildini s. their briik still shiny, and in dim-hallcd old buildings, coxered with ivy and scuffed and worn by the tread of generations, students experiment, debate, memorize, and question. Thev grope . . . and sumi-iimes the ' lind. ThcN- an ' a -ital part of the growing educational picture in North C ' arolina. The removal of Wake Forest CloUege to Winston- Salem will be a major advancement in the history of an institution wliii h lias witnessed many changes. To trace the evolution of this school one must go back to the year 1833. North Carolina was a sparsely- populated agricultural state. Public education had not vet been inaugurated. Inadeciuate transportation and commimication facilities kept alive enmity be- tween the ricli. slave-holding east and the poverty- 10 . S l stricken west. Sunic pco])lf in lliis Rip ' an Winkle State, however, had begun to awaken mil ol (heir torpor. Among these was a Baptist minisicr who iiad begtni the arduous task of acciuainting the people ol ' the state with the need for an eduialed ministry. This man, to become the first president of Wake Forest, was Samuel Wait. He had his efforts rewarded on December 21, 1833, when the North Carolina Baptist Convention, established three years earlier, was granted a charter permitting it to create Wake Forest Institute. Four years after its first student, John C ' renshaw, matriculated in February, 1834, the Institute became a college, the first except for the University of North C ' arolina, in the state. During these years in which the school followed the manual laljor plan e ery second of the student ' s day was lillecl. from dawn, when a bell summoned the studeni to prayers and a Virgil class before breakfast, imlil sunset, when another bell called him from the fields for an e cning of study. In accordance with the academic standards of the day and with the school ' s primary purpose of training ministers, the original curriculum was strong in language study and mathematics Ijut weak in natural sciences. Although originally there were no departments of English, history, or social science, training in these fields was done through the Euzelian and Philoma- thesian Literary Societies, organized in PVbruary, 1835. From the beginning an intense ri alr ' existed between the societies. Programs in the two societies were not always of the utmost interest for the students. Soon a fine of twenty-fi -e cents was imposed for indulgence in sleeping, and one secretary betrayed his boredom by writing into the minutes, after a long discussion and at last a tiresome one, the question was decided in the Negative by a majority of 14. The ciueries debated in these meetings, however, were aried. Was Elizabeth justified in putting Mary Queen of THE COLLEGES FIRST HOME— THE JONES HOUSE Scots to death? Arc women a curse rather than a blcssins; to mankind? Is slavery a moral e il? When the C ' .i il War was declared the students were prompt to volunteer lor ser icc in the C ' onfeder- ate Army, and in May, 1 862, the coUese was forced to suspend exercises. In January, 1866, when the college was officially reopened, only two of the former members of the faculty were left to reors anize the work: W. (i. Simmons and William Roxall. it a])peared first in 1882 and continued until l ' )3l), when it was succeeded by Thr Sludnil, which was originally a humorous and later a literarv-humor magazine. It was in this period of the 1880 ' s that the trustees and faculty showed their first interest in the physical training of the students and began to consider the establishment of a gymnasium. In 1882 football clubs were organized, but football soon lost its popularity, and students turned their attention to ba.seball, croquet and musicales and leaping, and in the colder months to roller skating. In 1888, however, Wake Forest beat the University of North Carolina in the first intercollegiate game of football |jlaycd in North Clarolina. Inipro cment in the a|)pcaranee of tlie campus began in 1H82, when the faculty voted that hogs and sheep be excluded, but that cows be admitted. The beautification of the campus was of special interest to President Charles E. Taylor, who devoted much attention and labor to laying out paths, en- closing the campus with a rock wall, and planting magnolias, maples, evergreens, and shrubs. Of invaluable assistance in this task was Doctor Tom Jeffries, the son of slave parents, who for forty- three years served the college, the period of his service coinciding almost exactly with the administrations of Dr. Taylor and Dr. W. L. Poteat. According to Dr. Tom, he had been ' lected to take charge of the grounds, the setting of trees and cutting of walks. In addition he rang the liell, cleaned the buildings, and did most of the work in constructing the rock wall around the campus. Throughout his administration Dr. Charles Taylor From its beginning the college has nurtured a fine tradition During ihc difiicult da s of the Reconstruction, President W. M. Wingale, beloved for his power as a pastor and a teacher, strove to salvage the school from the ravages of war. By the time of his death the endowment had been increased, one building was in process of erection, and another was projected. On the day of the inauguration of President T. H. Pritchard one of these buildings, the Heck-Williams Library, was formally dedicated. As early as 1835 each of the literary societies had begun gathering a library, exercising much care in the selection of bcjoks. In 187 ' .! the two libraries were consohdatrd and were tran.sferred to the new building. Also established under the supervision of the literary societies was the first printed periodital of the stu- dents, the W ' tiki ' ' oris Slwlnil. A literar magazine. sought to improve and enlarge the college, urging the creation of new departments of instruction and the election of new profes.sors. Although as early as 1872 the trustees had begun contemplating provisions for teaching law at Wake Forest, it was the planning of Dr. Taylor that brought the school into existence. The establishment of a .School of Medicine had been advocated since 184 ' ), when an article appeared in the liil ' lirn Recoider entitled A Medical Depart- ment for Wake Forest College, to Be Located at Raleigh, North Carolina. Opposition lo such a school remained strong, howe -er, unlil die lall term of 1902-03, when Dr. Taylor announced the opening of a School of Medicine. The first year thirteen students registered for the two years ' medical course, and the following year the school was admitted to 12 .Wl. membership in the American Medical Association. When Dr. Tun lor resigned he was succeeded by William Louis Poteat, the first layman to become president of Wake Forest. During the administration of Dr. Poteat there were few abrupt changes in the life of the college. Instead the changes came about gradually as a result of the ne s ' policies of the presi- dent. Until 1883, when the Rev. Mr. R. T. Vann was called to the pastorate, the Wake Forest Baptist Church had had as its pastor the presiding officer of the college. Moreover, imtil Jiuic, ril4, the students had been required to attend the Sunday morning worship service and to indicate in chapel on Monday whether dicy had attended church the day before. In the October, 1887, issue of the ] ' ake Forest Student there appeared an article in which the editor, J. W. Lynch, later pastor of the Wake Forest Baptist Church and chaplain of the college, protested strongly against compulsory attendance at religious services. At Wake Forest, he argued, there are 12 services weekly that are of a religious character. Attendance at 7 of these is compul.sory. We are opposed to this regulation in vogue in many of the colleges of the country. We are opposed to an thing that savors of ecclesiastical tyranny. Despite the students ' increasing dislike for chapel services, however, the religious life on the campus has always been wholesome, invigorating, and pervasive. This interest in religion has been due in large measure to the examples of the spirit of Christianity and de- otion to religious ideals and activities set by such men as President Poteat and his son. Dr. H. M. Poteat, Dr. W. B. Royall. Dr. J. W. Lynch, and Dr. W. R. CkiUom. As early as the summer of 1914 Wake Forest began to feel the effects of the First World War. In com- pensation for the depiction of students the trustees voted to accept the plan of President Woodrow Wilson whereby young men, by joining the Student Army Training Corps, could attend classes rather than be sent to a training cainp. Although hiking, digging trenches, kitchen police, and other aspects of the military schedule interfered somewhat with conjugating Latin verbs and com- ■wrffrn posing English ihcincs. tlic did little to intcilric with intercollegiate athletics. In fact, in T ' lS Wake Forest was able to beat State in football, and in I ' ' 20 the tennis team won the cup in the state tournament in Greensboro. In the fall of 1 ' ' 21 the facult - and trustees assumed financial responsibility and lull c ontrol of all college athletics. The noise made b ' spectators at athletic contests could not be heard, however, above the turmoil and dissension stirred up b - the e -olution controversy. Dr. Poteat believed lli.il llii ' dieory of e i)lulion was valid and that science and religion were not antago- nistic, and he did not hesitate to assert his beliefs. Moreover, he was living in a time when the word e olution could cause as much c.Kcitement as the word C:ommunism did thin -five years later. . s a result resolutions were drawn up by -arious associ- ations, declaring Thai we . . . belie e that this godless theory has no rightful place in any of our Baptist schools and That any school tolerating this theory thereby forfeits all claim t(j the financial and moral support of our Baptist people. This conllicl culminated on December 12. I ' )25. when (jiie could see, reported Dr. Edwin Minis in his c Ai ranrino South, a Poteat speaking to a Baptist Convention assembled to condemn his views on esolution and leaving them so overwhelmed with his sincerity and his spiritual insight that no one dares to speak against him. In the years following World War I, as enrollment in the college increased and fraternities were legalized, interest in th - literary .societies began to decline. Weary secretaries still made such marginal notes as I would just remark in a general way that this de- bate on the next page is a tiresome thing. Oh, ye CJod. how the medalists rant and rare. Members still took pride in the imposing furnishing of their respective halls. Rivalry still existed between the two societies, culminating each year in the two annual 14 li«.lipiiJlilip(||l|l|,l{lll|ip[l|P|lJlipp f p I! 1 mil I iltjil II 11(11111 UI JJ! ! ' -JJ! ' .

Tin Sliulnil. and die Old (Udd and lilmk. which had been established under (jrixate ownership ten years before. Wake Forest first began to outgrow the bnuiul.iries of its rock wall in I ' X ' O, when the Bowni.m ( ha Foundation donated appro.xiniatcly a million dollars lor the establishment and support of a four-year med- ical college, to be located in Winston-.Salem and called the Bowman Gray .School of Medicine of Wake Forest College. The removal of the medical college and its expansion into a four-year school were effected in the summer of 1041. Another innovation in the college scene was brought about on January 15. l ' )42. when the Board of Trus- tees oted to accept the recommendation of Dean 1). B. Br an to admit young women on the same The potentialities for still greater service are unlimited terms as men. . dormitory was made available for women, but when the forty-seven girls arrived they found that it was already being occupied by the . rmy Finance .School. As a result the girls and their dean, Miss Lois Johnson, were forced to live off the campus for the duration. They did not, however, let the added distance deter them from making their presence felt in every phase of campus life. . mong the organizations affected by the admission of women was the student government. At first the college had made and enforced its own disciplinary rules concerning hazing and cheating on examina- tions. In 1922, however, a constitution was drawn up, and John Thomas became the first president of the student body. The student government was gradually developed, with the abandonment of such provisions as the prescribed freshman cap and mass hazing, until it now consists of a legislature and two honor councils — one for men and one for women. 1946 brought the beginning of a new era in the life of the college. The Z. .Smith Reynolds Foundation offered to pay Wake Forest as much as $350,000 a year in perpetuity if the college would provide the necessary buildings on a new campus in Winston- Salem. The Baptist .State Cbn ention otcd to accept the offer; the old campus was .sold to the .Southern Baptist Convention for the establishment of the Southeastern Baptist .Seminary, and under the leader- ship of President H. W. Tribble an intensi -e fund- raising campaign was begun. Now, ten years later, this dream of a new campus is to be fulfilled. This year students still elected their magnolia queen, cheered tlieir teams on to -ictory, attended chapel, went on clioir and debate trips, isitccl iShorty s, painted sceneiy and smeared grease paint, played ping-pong, handball, and tennis, joined fraternities and acce[3ted pins, crammed for c|iiizzes, went to vespers, mixed chemicals and peered through microscopes, kept nightly vigils on Pub row. Attention was focused, however, not upon the forests of Wake, but upon the hills of Forsyth. The seminar - had already begun to take o er the old campus; faculty members were eager to get settled in their new homes; an atmosphere of anxious waiting and hopeful anticipation prevailed. The college was ready to make another forward step, a step which would be the culmination of all its past achievements and traditions and the foundation lor future progress. IP V stand on the threshhold of a golclon as e. rcprr- scnlativcs of a new generation — yet, molded in the lieritage of the past. We stand now searciiing desperately, earnestly for that inspiration which causes us to strive onward, ever hungering for knowledge. We scan the volumes, search the classrooms, offer our- selves to the curriculum, yet therein we fail to lind our goal. We realize that we must move be ond the realm of the material to Knd wisdom. . s students, we demand of life the fullest mean- ing. In the quest, the college speaks through its heritage a word of inspiration and encouragement. Herein we learn to pay hom- age to those values which are worthy and noble. r 17 Dr. Harold Wayland Tribble guided the removal program to rewarding completion while providing generously for the welfare of the Wake Forest Family.

On the shoulders of the administration la , ni douln. one of the (greatest burdens ever placed on the directors of a college. The new campus in Winston-Salem had to be built as soon as possible, funds had to be solicited for its construction, and the old campus had to be kept up. W. -nnwiinHCiiaiPHi m Even a college president must go home. Dr. Tribble walks the path toward home after a typically taxing day. From the bcsinnins. Dr. Tribble has endeared himself to the students and has maintained an atmosphere of intramural good will. Emphasis upon this Home-Likeness has made the Wake Forest College family a happy one. Few could be so good a father to us. At times the future for the new campus seemed quite dark. Funds were low, morale was low, and plans for the campus Imildings were still in the blueprint stage. But largely through the efforts of Dr. Tribble the campus at Winston-Salem will be ready for the summer term, at which time students and faculty will set up academic shop in the beautiful new buildings at Reynolda. Procuration of construction funds has been unusually gainful: seventeen of the twenty million dollars needed should be available at the time of removal. .Although the primary endeavor of the administration has been toward the successful removal of the college to the new campus, the students have not been overlooked. There is still time for advising the troubled scholar, and for keeping the family happy. A big moment in Wake Forest College his- tory was when Dr. Tribble received the big deed. The move was initiated when President Truiuan broke ground in 1951 for a new college and a new era for Wake Forest.

The jol) of running a college is never an ea.sy one, and this ear the impending move to Winstun-.Salem brought a flux ol new problems and responsibilities to harass the lacultv . .Aside Ironi the strain of an accelerated schedule and the actual remosal problems of the college, there was also the realization that this was the last year on the be- loved old campus, aiid that soon many old friends and familiar places must be left behind. At the same liuic. hinve cr, the liUuie looketl Ininht. The new campus at Winston, with its practically unlimited potentialities, served as an effective beacon, and with their eyes on this goal, both the administration and the professors buckled down to meet the strenuous demands. Over in Wait Hall typewriters clacked and telephones rang busiK as the administrative heads and their staffs tackled the numerous tasks of reorganization .ind ex- pansion in addition to their usual duties. The Registrar ' s oHice gathered in a rising flood of applications. Faced with the prospect of a student body greatly increased in size, Dean Johnson and Dean Bryan planned and revised in order to meet the consequently greater problems in store for theju. The Bursar and his assistants furrowed their l)r(j s uvi-v (lie financial picttnc and ni.Kie a aliant effort to extract reservation fees from currently enrolled students who planned to continue studying in Winston- .Salem.

Right across the brick walk from Wait Hall, the Lil rar Staff under the direction of Carlton P. West prepared for the overwhelming task of moving the college library into its new home. All over the campus each prole-scjr in his uwn clas-room carried out perhaps one of the most diHicult joLis, under tile circumstances — that of carrying on the normal routine of classes in the midst of the feverish planning and activity. In spite of the limited time, the necessity for reorganization and in entory in each department, and the problems of building h(jines and men ing families, these faculty members continued to gi e to the students the time, the instruction, and the in .iluabic iiispii atiiin they needed.

Every Monday morninG; promptK nt ten minutes to eight, the clear clanging ol Wait Hall ' s hell heralded the beginning of another week-long round in the classroom arena. Come rain or coine shine there was a matter of quality points and hours to be totaled up — or else. The book store, always faithfulK stocked with quickie breakfast food, saved many a student from quick death by star ation when the alarm clock was ineffective after a big weekend. With the traditional Hi ' s and cheerful grins, students made their annual pilgrimage through the ale of pops, quizzes, and occasional free cuts. Education, thou wert dearly earned at the cost of lost sleep, worn out shoes, and chapel thrice weekly. The Class of Fifty-six Take one old rock-walled campus, sprinkle it generously with fragrant magnolias, add lour years of friendships, studies, clubs, sports, and parties — memories are made of this. We seniors have finally received those long hoped for diplomas, and realized, with some degree of dismay, that we ' re through ! The members of our class ha e been active in every phase of activity. We have vacated many places in publi- cations, dramatics, social and honorary fraternities, clubs and classes. (Unild it ha e possil)ly been four years ago that we ar- rived in that bewildered condition common to all freshmen and met all of these fellow graduates? How much we knew to tell the freshmen when we had reached the sophisticated status of sophomores! Our junior year arrived and with it came the l)ig decisions about majors and minors. Now, sagacious, sedate, and seniors, we say farewell. Although we didn ' t know this when we entered Wake Forest, our class had a special significance attached to it. Ve were the last seniors to graduate from this tradition laden campus. Leaders of the last class to graduate from the old campus are these seniors: Carol Stroud, secretary: Bud Kell.v, vice-president; and Richard Day, presi- dent. 36 •mfmmsinf3T3mm : m!Sfimm w!v m ' mwm Seniors k k LOUIS EDGAR ADAMS, JR., B.A..

The Class of Fifty-nine That once-in-a-lifctime distinction was uurs — we were the last of a long line of freshmen classes to spend that evergreen year on the old rock-walled campus. We unpacked our hii;li srhoul .innii.ils, bargained for the choice chapel seats, and othc iwisc liiuke the proverlnal ice. The pilgrimage to W ' inston-Salcm, the election of first year leaders with a maximum of campaign hullabaloo, being called Miss and Mr. in class, and sharing the campus cordiality afforded us an ample portion cjf th.u intangible Wake Forest spirit. As the Near pas.sed, the school midst tfir magnolias son the loyalty of another group, a thing wliich she has ne er failed to do. Who says Freshmen arc green? Look who they chose for class leaders!

The School po.ssesses a Law Library containing 25,5(1(1 volumes, carefully chosen to avoid unnecessarv duplication and lo .issure (he greatest [Kjssible usefulness. rOuring its sixtv-two years of existence the Law School has madi ' extraordinary contributions to the life of North C!arcjlina. Not only have its alumni in large numbers achieved distinction in the Bar, but they have also had an inip(jrtant part in the history and development of our state. Many have attained distinguished careers as judges, solicitors, state officials, members of state and national legislative bodies, and in other responsible positions in public life. In every section of North Carolina many Wake Forest lawyers, who have never held public oflice, have made outstanding contributions to their eonuuuniiies through the practice of their profession and bv their participation in community affairs. It is impossible to measure accurately the intluence which Wake Forest lawyers have exerted upon the cultural, political, religious, social, and business life ol our state, but it can be safely said that no other group of like size has made greater or more worthwhile contributions to the life and development of the state. The Law School has as its objective not onlv to train the student in legal principles and doctrines, but also to de- velop in the student a profound sense of legal ethics, pro- fessional responsibility and the duty of the lawyer to society. The School undertakes to impress upon its students the ideal which should motivate the acts and thinking of every lawver, namely, the ideal of achieving justice in all his transactions rather than victory at the expense of right and justice. The Law School feels an obligation to strive to piepare the student to become not only a competent law yer but also a worthy citizen. With its magnificent law building at the site of the new campus in Winston-Salem enlarged opportunities will be opened to the Law School. With increased enrollment and 1 1 inn- adequate resources there will come greater lesponsi- bilities. The Law School hopes to meet these responsibilities, • md to hiltill its iiiiportant inissioji in a m.iiuici worthy of its past .ind wortin of those who have made this new op- |)cjrtunity po.ssible. Student Bar Association The Student Byr Association st.irtcd oH llic w.w wiili orientntion for all new men. This was just the heninuint; ol ' the nian thin ;s done to help the student change into llie law er. In the fall a banquet was given by the associ- ation, and in the spring the anual Law Day was held. Law Da at Wake Forest is one of the nicest held anywhere in the United States. This year it lived up to tradition with a morning program directed by attorneys from Raleigh, a picnic lunch, a spring football game, and a banquet with Senator Ervin as speaker. The Bar Association, which is also a national organiza- tion, had some very capable officers. Gil Burnette, presi- dent, Jack Gerrans, vice-president, J. E.Johnson, secretary, and Robert C. Rogers, treasurer, all kept things running smoothly. These men, along with the presidents of the law classes, also inake up the executive committee, which acts as a legislative body. Each member plays a big part in fulfilling the association ' s purpose of helping each student progress to the envied position of a lawyer. Den of the Wake Forest law dogs, the Law Library.

Vet it is not an intangible concept or an abstract idea, but a living, vibrant, all consuming spirit that winds its way into the hearts and minds of all who would listen to its oice. Listen to the voice of a dream, listen to the students enamored of that dream, hear Wake Forest speak through its multiplicity of activities — activities steeped in tradition, yet not smothered by the laurels of the past.

This is hc)« student goxernmcnt functions begin the following school term. Perhaps the more dignified proceedings, which follow the political fanfare, are less puiilicized, l)ut they are certainly of the utmost importance. Behind closed doors the legislature lueets to make decisions which will atlcct each Demon Dr. icon. Changes are made to meet the needs of the changing times. This year in particular there were important innovations to be made in order to meet the needs of new campus experiences in Winston- .S.ilcm. With the growth of Wake Forest, many institutions of the school had to be expanded. One of them was the Student Government Clonstitution. One of the biggest aims of the 1955-56 legislature was to re-write the Clonsti- mmm Robed in black gowns signifying tlie gravity of tlieir office, the newly establislied Men ' s Honor Council is headed by Bill Starling. The members are Ward, Bell, Murdock, Clark. Whedbee, Waller, Dupree, Preslar. and Hughes. President of the Student Body, Tom Frank. tution so that it would meet the nccd.s of the new Wake Forest. A face liftinsi was in order. Through experience, flaws and loop holes, which had caused confusion and disputes, had been found in the frame work of the old laws. There were definite improvements to be made, and the legislature worked hard to make them. Another important step was taken by the go erning body which was al.so in preparation for the big move. The legislature worked with b(]|h the Men ' s and Women ' s Honor Councils to inipnixc the honor system here. Other colleges were consulted, and methods were compared to determine what code is most efl ' ective. The legislators realized the importance of the honor code at Wake Forest. The problem under consideration was how to perpetuate its effectiveness with the expected increase in the 19.S6 enrollment. E er one will agree that good leaders are essential to good government. Certainly those good and experienced leaders were in abundance to supervise the necessary changes in student government. President Tommy Frank, member of the Student Party, did an excellent job along with his subordinates. Owen Herring ser ed as ice-presi- dent, Hilda Maulden as secretary, and Kenneth Freeman as treasurer. The fact that Notie Vay White is president of Woman ' s Government indicates her character, leadership, and service. Woman ' s Government The purpose of the Woman ' s Government Association is to iiind the wcjmcn students of the College together, to maintain Christian ideals among them and to enforce the necessary regulations pertaining to their life on the campus. .Ml undergraduate women students are members of W.G.A. and participate in electing an Executive Board of thirteen to serve as a governing body. This year, for the first time, the Executive Board also served in the capacity of a Wo- men ' s Honor Council, which functioned separately from the Men ' s Honor Council. The Social Standards C ommittee of the Woman ' s Government Association strives to uphold the social stand- ards of the women students and contributes greatly to the social life of the entire campus through the parties and activities which it sponsors. One of the high-lights this year was the Coed Leap Year Ball. Aside from their usual duties, W.G.A. leaders found this last year on the old campus filled with new problems pre- sented by the move to Winston. Faced with the prospect of an unproportionately large number of new women students to be orientated next year, the girls found many changes advisable. Putting their heads together, they planned and revised in order to make W.G.A. a more efTective and helpful organization on the new campus. Chosen for their own high character to lead the other coeds are these members of the Woman ' s Government and the Women ' s Honor Council: Evans, King, Owen, and Lide.

Honoraries Symbols of success in college life. There is somethintr ery impressive about a person wearing an honorary fraternity key. He can usually be counted upon to be a well-rounded coinbination of the qualities of leadership, a high intelligence, honor, and good personality. He is used only figuratively here because the coeds of the school have certainly earned their share in these organizations of recognition. Omicron Delta Kappa, the leadership fraternity for men, was headed this year by Gray Boyette. The group was host to the visiting scholarship applicants in the spring. Mem- bers are selected on their outstanding achievements in athletics, scholarship, publications, government, or the arts. Membership is limited to only three per cent of the male enrollment. Sponsors this year were Dr. Henry Stroupe, Dr. Jack Nowell, Dr. Edwin ilson, and Dr. Robert Helm. I I EiiE nB Those who have attained membership in Tassels, local honorary society for coed leaders, are advisor Robinson. Binkley, Munn, Stroud, Perry, White, Hampton. Mauney. Lide, and Reicke. Emerson once reminded people not to say things, for what they did spoke louder than what they said. It could certainly be true of one particular group on campus that ihcy li.nc lived up to high standards of character, scholar- slii| , anil leadership, so that they have set a daily example 111! tliiir Irllow students. This i;ruup is Tassels, the women ' s h(jiu)iar leadership group on campus, which initiates a small ntnnber of women students each year. The organiza- tion is responsible for leading coeds toward goals of service and honor. They maintain high ideals and at the same time, inspire (ilhcr t;irls Inward re.iti r ,incl nuire lullillinn college work.

That they may be recognized for their accomplishments Wake Forest has an organization which honors these unusual students. It holds no meetings and requires no dues for membership. el it is very selective. Those students who find themselves elected to Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities are justified in receiving this honor, for membership means hard work. That work may have been done in the fields of publications, religious activities, athletics, student government, forensics, or the like. There are those also who are selected on the basis of scholarship, leadership and co-operation in educational and extra curricular activities, and for general citizenship, and service to the school. But regardless of the basis for membership, H7 i ,( 11 7)w is an organization which is limited tu only the best students, the students who ha e been outstanding in college life and are recognized lor being so.

Bradbury guided the activities as advisor. Thanks to the prospective physicians, the chest X-raymobile was brought to the campus. Another activity of this organization was a trip to the Bowman Gray School of Medicine which pro- vided a close observation by the students who will make the school their future laboratory. The must acti e and largest of the honorary fraternities this year was Beta Beta Beta boasting a membership of fifty biology st udents. Following a usual tradition, the ping-pong table was the center of concentration for the sports-minded biologists. Dr. E. C. Cocke, the advisor, was the most dreaded rival with a ping-pong paddle in his hand. The first trip for the Tri Beta ' s was made to Appala- chian State Teachers College in the fall to attend the initiation there.

Its purpose is to lionor those students who are outstandina; in speech and clehate. L ' nder the direction of Professor Franklin .Shirle -, the members have participated in many inter- collegiate tournaments. In the spring delegates attended the Pi Kappa Delta tournament at Tennessee Tech. The fraternity sponsored a novice debate tournament for high school students. This year Marjorie Thomas served as president. By earning sixty points in dramatics work, a student is eligible for membership in Alpha Psi Omega. One doesn ' t have to be a Lionel or an Ethel Barrymore in order to belong, for this organization also honors those students who have worked in inake-up, construction, and other back stage tasks. This year, in conjunction with the Dramatics CMub, the fraternity gave trophies to the best actor and actress.

The group gained much from the practical, informative programs during the year. Dr. James C. O ' Flaherty acted as sponsor for the organization. Rho Tau .Sigma, G amma Chapter of the honorary radio and television fraternity, was installed this year and is the third chapter to be started on one of the nations ' s cam- puses. Its members strive to promote more interest in the college ' s radio station, WFDD. A group selected from those interested in radio and active in the college station makes up the membership.

Its object is to foster research in commerce, promote public interest in business mechanics, and advance courses leading to degrees in business administration. According to Gamma Delta ' s schedule it certainly made progress in attaining its goal this car. The twcnty-twii numbers took part in trips to cities of North Carolina to obserxc businessmen at work. They went to Raleigh to see the W ' cstinghousc Plant and the Colonial .Store warehouse. In Richmond the isited the DuPont Plant and the Federal Reserve Bank. Durham was the cil ' for inspecting the large Chesterfield Plant. The chapter also sponsored dinner meetings at Gresham ' s Restaurant and heard interesting speakers such as Mr. Dick Buell from Winston-Salem, personnel director of Wachovia Bank and Trust Company. Socials were also on the agenda along with a C:hristmas communit - project. All was done under the leadership of advisors Dr. Charles M. Ramsey, Dr. C arl M.

Gamma Xu, the local chapter of Delta Sigma Pi, has endeavored tu aid alumni secure better positions and more opportunities in the business world. Under the alile leadership of Carl Phillips as president, many activities were packed into this car ' s program. Other officers who helped President Phillips were Tomm Teague, vice-president: and Joe Wall work, treasurer. Begiiniing with a successful smoker with Dr. G. M, Rogers as speaker, the fraternity introduced rushces to the significance and purpose of the organization. It was successful; several men decided to join the fraternity. This meeting was followed by industrial trips at different times during the year. The chapter sponsored a trip to Durham to see the Chesterfield factory: one to Raleigh to visit the VVestinghouse Plant; and one tu . orfolk to in- spect the Ford Plant and the shipyards. Certainly each memlier gained valuable information from these activities. ' isiting speakers of the business world also added rich- ness to the experiences of the men of Gamma . u.

At their monthly meetings they had the opportunity to get first-hand information from guest speakers, who kno« the business field well. A tour through the Westing- house plant near Raleigh revealed to the coeds a picture of business in action. Valuable personal experience in selling was reaped by peddling in the girls ' dormitories that All-American product —hot dogs from Shorty ' s. Delta Kappa Nu had a chance to look over their future male business competition at a Christmas party given jointly by the three business fraternities. This year, Delta Kappa Nu continued to work toward affiliation with the national honorary business society.

The Military Method For a great number of Wake Forest men, Monday night.s are a time of bustling activity. Shoes are to be shined to a blinding luster; brass must be polished until it rivals the most exquisite silverware; coats, pants, shirts, and other visible apparel must be checked so as to be in perfect order; for woe is he whose attire is not spotless on Tuesday after- noon, the time when the peaceful magnolia-studded land- scape before the chapel gives rise to a stirring military organization. The air is then thickly permeated with fa- miliar ROTC sounds — the sharp thud of rifles being manip- ulated through the manual of arms, the tramping of hundreds of feet marching in unison, the hip, hoo, hee, hor of the platoon leaders directing the steps of their subordinates, the strains of marching music coming from the ROTC band — all of which are characteristic of arms afternoons on the ' ake Forest campus. However, drill is not the only facet of a student ' s life in the ROTC. To be proficient in the art of rifle twirling and marching in step is not enough. Classwork figures very importantly also, for in addition to the discipline gained through drill, our budding officers need to be familiar with the science of military tactics, the organization of military forces, and the lessons of military history as ex- emplified in certain important battles of the past. All phases of scholarship are strongly emphasized. The cadet is led through his first few weeks of clumsiness to realize the essentials of military methods and their applications. For those proficient in the many areas of accomplishment, various awards and honors are a ailable, such as the rifle team, drill team, and Scabbard and Blade. For those who wish to take full advantage of the oppor- tunity of raising their military status, there are certain courses beyond the elementary ones emphasizing the various aspects of military leadership. A higher com- mission is a juicy plum in the eyes of some students. Making a polished reserve out of a raw college freshman is not an easy task, but the ROTC department, led by Lt. Col. Wythe M. Peyton and his associates, has proved its competence. It has become a very real and integral part of the students lives and has made for itself an im- portant place in the curriculum. To those who put them- selves into the spirit of the military comes recognition. 101 ■saBsa B BkJE. ' .

In going to school and getting away from Mom and Dad, it is quite easy to lay aside the significance of God in life and forget the importance and meaning of religion. Wake Forest College, realizing this possibility, provides a means of religious guidance for the student body by endeavoring to establish an atmosphere such as that found in the home. To the Baptist .Student Union falls the ditlirult task of providing an adequate substitute for the home in the re- ligious life of the student. It is the integrator and originator of the Simday School, where excellent instruction is offered by members of the college faculty. The Baptist Training Union is sponsored by th e B.S.U. as well as are the morning watch and vesper services which are held daily throughout the week. Other activities, such as a welcome lemonade stand dining registration which is such a welcome stop for all bedraggled students, annual retreats, and extension trips to various places are all phases of B.S.U. work. Although this organization is primarily intended for Baptist students, it also works in the interests of those of other denominations, incorporating Methodists, Lutherans, Episcopalians, and Presbyterians in the Westminster Fellowship. The B..S.U. is lis design a strung and integral force in the life (jf e (r sludcnt. Assuming his duties early is Ken Freeman. BSU president; becoming acquainted is one of the more pleasant tasks. Religious Organizations students congregate for a few mo- ments after vespers to discuss the events of a long day. The B.S.U.

The meetings, highlighted by speeches and discussions on problems that confront ministerial students, were held in the basement of the church every Tuesday night. The purposes of the Conference arc to promote fellowship between the ministerial students themselves and other students and to help them develop a healthy attitude in the role of ministers. Dr. G. J. Griflin sponsored the Conference first seinestt ' r, and D r. CuUoni was sponsor for the second semester. In the future .vouU never see there men in the congrega- tion: their destination is the pulpit — they ' re the Cullom Ministerial Conference.

Membeis did a great deal of extension work around Wake Forest this ear. Work in the com- munity included the county home and the infirmary.

With service as a motto, the group played Santa Olaus to needy families in the C ' .ommiinit . In the spring many of the girls attended a state-wide ' .W.. . Houseparty in Charlotte, featuring widely known speakers and much fun and fellowship. The Y.W.. . ' s girls accented the Leap Vear- alentine season with a banquet in the fictitious Land of the Leaping Hearts — more realistically known as the college cafeteria. .- rra ed in its gaudiest red and white attire, the Heart Kingdom played cupid for the girls and their dates. Throughout the year members worked together, keeping in mind their ideal of service and putting it to practical use. You ' re not seeing double — it ' s just the large membership of the Y.W.A. necessitating two pictures this year. Extension Hatljoxes, suitcases, posters, songbooks, and radios were crammed into the B.S.U. buggy parked in front of the church, and promptly at 3:30 on Friday afternoons, a group of students scrambled for their places and a ed good-byes. This was the way the typical exteTision trip began. The students, as they visited various churches in the state, sought to co-ordinate their college religious activities with the programs of the local churches. Through youth- centered conferences and fellowships, the trips provided practical experience for the participating students, and a wholesome view of college life for high school students of the state. This mo ' ement has proved to be one of the most important phases of B..S.L activitv. Extension team members plan another one At the B.S.U.

The event was designed to foster fellowship and a better understanding of colle!, ' e life and the personal proljlenis which confront all new students. Leading lively discussion groups were denominational leaders and faculty members from the college and South- eastern Seminary. Films, rivalry in recreation, and camp- fire vesper services highlighted the week. A banquet and dedication service brought the retreat to an inspirational conclusion.

Better l nown as Pub Row, it is the gathering place for one of the most colorful groups on campus. Working, playing, eating, and even sleeping in the.se narrow rooms, they live in a world of captions, scripts, photographs, features, and deadlines revolving around the typewriter. .Sometimes the sunrise catches the homes of the Hovvier, Old Gold and Black, The Studetil, and WFDD with lights still l)urning as some last minute work is done before deadlines are met.

Listening to the soothing music of WFDD, Hilda Mauldin thinl s about that rugged quiz. 110 wf dd WFDD again took its place as the favorite radio station of all Wake Forest students. This year it started out with a complete new overhauling. A thousand dollars was spent for new equipment, which included a Gates consoie. Then, too, everything was changed to Hi-fi. Even a new name for the number one program was born — Deacon Light became Late Date. The improsement and success of WFDD can be con- tributed to a hard-working staff. Beverly Barge, station manager, contracted such leading record companies as Capitol, R.C ' ... . X ' ictor, Decca, and Columbia. The col- lection includes o cr 200 albums of classics and a record library of more than 3,000 records. Anne Beatty, music director, had the big job of filing these platters. Con- tributing tremendously to the success of the station were ' ern Pike, chief announcer; Jack Wright, program man- ager; and Richard Day, business manager. ' ern auditioned all the announcers, Jack scheduled the shows, and Richard handled the finances and made money for the station. One of the big highlights of the year was the recording Serenade to a Lonely Room, written by Margaret Burnett. J. B. Benton, Tommy Bunn, ern Pike, and Ben Sutton made the recording accompanied ijy a combo from the Southerners Dance Band. They were really tops. Even the Four Freslimen couldn ' t ha e done l)etter! WFDD is planning a ijig expansion in Winston with underground cables, three studios, a lobby, an office, and more equipment.

Owen Herring, Editor The Slutlent magazine, the oldest publication on the Wake Forest campus, faces the frustrating task of printing material of interest to all students. .Since its beginning in 1882 the magazine has experienced many transformations. This year it combined literary quality with the humor element and added interesting features to become a true campus magazine. The basic content of the magazine consists of short stories, poems, essays, and feature articles. The editorial staff produces much of this, but the magazine is also an outlet for the creation of all students. To perform this purpose, The Student welcomes the contributions of all. Extra effort this year made possible a monthly magazine. Editor Owen Herring kept his staffers at the grindstone in order to meet the frequent deadlines. But when The Student came out the hard work was rewarded with an attractive looking magazine that found fa or among the entire student body. A new feature this vear of uhich The Student was verv 112 • •■tftik lS, -m -. -, -■ -J proud was the ' Student Forum. Each month a number of students and facuhy members presented their ideas on a particular topic of interest to the Wake Forest student Some of the discussions this year dealt with athletics, our honor system, desegregation, and politics. Several other new features were added to The Student to extend its appea to every reader. A calendar of cultural events kept interested students up to date with happenings. .Another popular series, Collegiate Crackles, a page of cartoons and amus- ing jokes from other college magazines, found an audience in an group of students. The layout of the magazine this year was made at- tractive by interesting photographs on the co er, fine art work inside, and unique and pleasing arrangement of material. Although the problem of combining various tvpes of work sometimes seemed overwhelming, nevertheless The Student met the needs of e ery individual by educating and entertaining simultaneouslv.

The debaters participated in the top in- vitational tournaments, and Wake Forest was again asked to enter the National Debate Tournament at West Point. The ' played host to novice debater. , who came from all over to enter the Novice Debate Tournament at the college. The debalors for this year were left to right: Deal, Prid- gen, Killian, Professor Shirley, Hughes, Peterson, Fitz- gerald, Taylor, Blossom, Massey, Bunn, and Thomas. m9 The Young Democrats (YDC) invited Edwin GUI (State Trea;urer) to speak for them.

With President Phil Godwin in the lead, they madly ap- plauded Senator Estes Kefauver durin? his chapel speech. The election of 1956 will surelv he a Democratic ictory, ' was their confident prediction. The club was privileged to hoar Edwin Gill, the N, C .State Treasurer, speak at one of their regular meetings. .Several members attended out-of-town Y. D. C, rallies and the state convention in Raleigh, Young Republicans The Wake Forest chapter of the National ' oung Re- publicans Club reorganized this year under the leasderhip ol X ' ern Pike, president; Lloyd Baucom, vice-president; and Shannon ,Spivcy, secretary-treasurer. With an election car coming up, all members polished up their old ' T Like Ike campaign buttons and settled down to some heated political discussions. The club gave members a chance to express political views and lived up to its aim of education for intelligent participation in a;o%ernment. Some of the few Young Republicans on campus are these members of Y.R.C.; Baucom, Pike, Spivey, Walker, Cars- well.

Here we see both the on-stage per- formers and those all-important oflf-stage performers who make the production possible. The College Theater is an organization which on our campus is the embodiment of the .Spirit of the Drama. Under the aWe guidance of Profc.s.sur CKde McElruv, di- rector and advisor, aided li Dimn I ' liulcn. president: Dave Hirano, vice-president; PolK Binklcs, secretary; and Jim Gross, business manager; it has ukkIc its way intcj a place of prominence among the nian extra einricular ac- tivities available to students. . midst the smell of greasepaint, the sh.imbles liackstage, and the heat of the footlights and spots, the Spirit uf the Drama comes into its own. Alter the grind of learning lines, rehearsing that scene again and again, and daily re- hearsals, just one second of that feeling that comes when the actor steps on the stage in front of a crowded chapel (well-crowdetl center section, anywa ) inakes up for it all. Professor McElroy interjects a vivid comment on how the thing should be done. r kvi ,. -if. • -. - - = strains of Oh Here ' s lo Wake Forest could often be heard floating out of the windows of the second floor of the Music-Religion building as the band in typical Wake Forest spirit rehearsed. The band performed in grand style for students and alumni throughout the successful football season, and brought Wake Forest glory and honor. The College band performed twice before a well-pleased chapel audience. Our Music Department has furnished an excellent l)ack- ground of music for the enjoyment of the whole campus. In winter there were concerts and chapel programs: in springtime the music from the bandroom heralded the approach of Magnolia Festival. Throughout the year the Department ' s numerous presentations amazed u.s with their quality Ijacked up Ijy many hours of devoted work. The Glee Club, directed by Professor Thane McDonald, thrilled students on Mondays. Wednesdays, and Fridavs with inspirational music, and labored long to produce a great Messiah. The Opera Workshop as usual contributed much with their presentation for Magnolia Festival. Musical groups from Wake Forest College made lasting impressions at churches and before groups throughout the state. It was a great year, and one that Wake Forest will remember.

Voices of Wake Forest Virginia Tyson accompanies Virginia Pearson at the piano as they both practice their respective musical abilities. The core around which the music department Iniilds its annual programs is the Glee Culb, directed by Dr. Thane McDonald. Compo.scd of eighty outstanding voices, it pre- sented many varied public performances. One of the mo.st important and indispensable functions performed by the group is its joli .i, ehapri choir. Each Wednesday and Fri- day throughout ihe i ' .ir the music from the balcony added beauty and inspiration for chapel worship. The climax of the chapel appearances came during Religion-in-Life Week when the Glee Club led the chapel audiences in song and contributed special music fur the occasion. Aside from the regular services rendered in the chapel programs, the Glee Club has been enthusiastically re- ceived by audiences in its outside appearances. Accom- panied by Jimmy Good, it took part in many Clhristmas programs including the tenth annual presentation of Handel ' s The Messiah, and WPTF radio program. A special pre-Easter service was presented on Good Friday, and its special appearances were complete with its annual participation in the Magnolia Festixal. The vciir nineteen tiflv-six saw the coUes e ehuir on its ninth annual tour. The sjroup. which has thirt -eitjht voices, completed its itinerary including church, high school, and television appearances, under the aiilc instruc- tion and direction of Dr. Thane McDonald, head of the music department. The tour this year was limited to short vcek-end trips because of the aljsencc of Easter holidays in the shortened semester. The choir, heretofore, had made |)rolonged tours of churches and chapels, both in this state and out, during this period. The atmosphere pro ided by music is undeniably the most pleasant and completely satisfying of any one might find. The choir, accompanied by Jimmy Good, has per- formed this function very capably with its programs of liturgN, hymns, and spirituals. Featuring the male octet, it has brought a spirit of reverence and worship ta many services. It is, without doubt, one of the more capable ol the music department sponsored groups — one that adds much to the Christian atiuosphcre on the campus. As the undertaker says, ' We must rehearse this thing .

This group has appeared in programs all over the state. .Some of its performances included recitals lor alumni groups. Rotary Cluljs, and appearances in college chapel programs. The octet sings in all the college choir per- formances and is enthusiastically received and praised highly for amazingly good harmony and expression. It is a group which contributes much to the reputation and good name of the Wake Forest family group. The Four Flats, our well-known girls C|uartette, has completed a year of appearances in chapel and perform- ances for special groups. One appearance in particular which brought much fame and fortune to these girls, who are far from being flat in their song-making, was their pro- gram for the Washington, D. C, alumni in the autumn. There they made a smash hit, which they followed up with appearances in our own college chapel. This is typical of the good that the music department is doing — not only for an individual ' s own satisfaction, but also for the well-being of our school.

Evening, Terpsichore, and Tex Beneke create Mid-Winter ' s magic FRA TERJVITIES reign The social fraternities have long been an integral part of Wake Forest College. Everyone — the fraternity man, the independent, and the co-ed is aflfected, directly or indi- rectly. In the spice and excitement of fraternity life, Incli idiial fraternities start the social ball lulling early in the fall with open houses and smokers. Later the Inter- fraternity Coimcil swings into action to sponsor the im- portant dances for the year. Homecoming Weekend blazes forth from the midst of crepe paper and wet paint. The thrill of being pinned and serenaded is dampened only momentarily b - the dorm shower or Gresham ' s Lake. Aside from the colorful social life, the fraternities also serve another vital need Ijy supplying a large number of campus leaders. Participation and co-operation within the frate-nity aids in the development of well-rounded person- alitie;, and tends to produce responsible representatives in student government and other activities. 129 Ei An interesting phase of fraternity life is tliat of study. .Miss Mel Divine Alpha .Sig ' s last car on the old c.iiiipus was hegun triumphantly. The cha|)tcr learned that it was one of the luckier ones and had drawn one of the two larger fra- ternity sections up yonder. Rushins; and removal plans were lieyun immediately and were the nucleus of the chap- ter ' s acti ity throughout the school year. The Ram-pen decorations only took third place but th.u didn ' t dry up the Homecoming spirits around the . l|jha .Sig house. Many alumni returned to take part in the informal parties and dinner planned l) the chapter. The Alpha Sigs were also well represented on the football field throughout the season. Brothers Jack Bchrmann, Marco ' iola, Claude Croston, Ralph Pcllecchia, and Da e Lee saw plenty of action under the helmet. Several informal attic parties were held throughout the year. The fall semester was climaxed by the Christmas dinner-dance at which time Miss Mel Devine of Myrtle Beach was crowned Alpha Sig Sweetheart. During the spring semester Brother Jim Gross proved ALPHA SIGMA PHI lluil he was destined to lie the poor man ' s Lawrence Oli ier. Brother Jack C ' .ottrell was elected IFC treasurer. .Several liruthers caught the bug and the chapter made numerous treks to Johnson and Bostw ick for that sweetest moment in a coed ' s life. The school year was clima.xed by the annual Apache Party. The Tar Heels Club was the setting for the gala time, and closely resembled something found on the left bank of the .Seine. The members and alumni present agreed that it was an appropriate swan song to the old campus.

The Old .South Ball was again the mainstay of the social season with the annual Rose, Pledge, .Senior, an d Stag parties also in the spotlight. The annual Christmas party for the underprivileged children was again a momentous occasion for the brothers. Held as usual in the chapter classroom with our own Santa Claus. the party was enjoyed by the liiuthers as much as the kiddies. With one of the best pledge classes of recent years. Kappa .

Eighteen pledges joined the jolly boys of Lambda Chi this year to become an integral part of their fraternity spirit. Social functions ranged from the big dance week-ends, uliich included the White Rose Ball, to combo parties at the house featuring Notman ' s and the Johnny Mentnor Quintet. The lull between quizzes and exams provided time for a few hands of bridge and numerous spank-tail heart contests. TV is the thing this year certainly proved to be true as the fellows viewed e cry thing from the late show to the Mickey Mouse Club. Toni Trcntini continued his line work on the gridiron, and the tennis courts were lilled with niemfers of the Lambda Chi Rocket Club. The ping-pong table ab- sorbed many poundings from the foes who challetged the msstery of Logan ; Razon actually spent a week-end in Wake Forest; Archie continued to utter his words of wisdom; Stegall and Bobo almost graduated in February; Joe Ceros finally transferred to the L ' niversitv of .South Carolina with George Cox close on his heels; and Rev.

CIRCUS WELCONEALl PARKING IN REA StiO! Moonlight and magnolias, boniircs and ballgaines, politics and platforms, dates and dances — all are intricate pieces of the vast puzzle we fondly call campus life. The student finds within these walls a spirit that makes him feel that he is a vital part of all that goes on — a spirit that drives him to put not only his time, but his whole self into the life of the campus, thus blending and enriching his person- ality with the personality of the campus. He becomes a particle in the radiantly living mosaic that is Wake Forest College — a mosaic con- structed through the years Ijy all the students who have lo ' ed her cause and ha c been dc oted to her development.

As part of the annual Orientation Program, thes s] (ni Ions; numbing; hours listening to speeches, pep talks, and instructions. Student ad isors took the greenhorns on uided tours aroimd Baptist Hollow to familiarize them with their new surroundings. Get-acquainted parties, which sur|3assed the neophytes ' greatest expectations, were yivcn by Woman ' s Government and the B.S.U. The faculty tea on Sunday gave students a preview ol coming classroom attractions and the professors a glimpse of their new audiences. New naines were mentally taken down, and faces were frantically associated with them. during the preview period, the B.S.U. was on hand with lemonade to calm, cool, and collect scattered wits and nerves. Placement tests hinted darkly of the ine itable hours and quality points to be collected in the next few years. .Among all the new faces, name tags, and welcoming parties, the contagious spirit of Wake Forest reached epidemic proportions, and soon new Iri. ' nds were old acciuaintances. Welcome to the Wake Forest family! And freshmen begin the long trip down the faculty receiving line, trying to keep names and faces straight, and looking forward to that cup of punch at the end. Directors of the annual sightseeing tours for freshmen are these members of the Orientation Committee: first row: Stroud, Mangum, Laughrun, Maulden, Boyette; second row: Cook, Wagster, Reid. Howe.

Through the years the mere thought of it has been sufficient to produce moans and groans from even the most stoic indi iduals who ha e Uved through this harrowing ex- perience, but as yet no enterprising young reformer has come up with a satisfactory substitute. Consec)Ucntly, registration continues to turn up in all its glory as regularly as a bad penny. This event affects people in many different ways. The upperclassmen, remembering previous registrations, be- come resigned to their fate and plod wearily along with the attitudes ol martyrs, biu those with less experience to guide them are kjst in the maze of questionnaires, advisors, and confiieling classes.

The most universal symptunis of re istra- tionitis, however, are dazed, glassy-eyed stares and a con- dition of acute paralysis in the fingers of one ' s writing hand. A prc-registration course in juggling would be most helplul to everyone concerned. At any rate, some system for simultaneously handling, using, and retaining check- books, fountain pens, pink slips, white slips, ditto cards, long sheets of paper, and extremely tiny bits of parchment is a necessity. Perhaps the most dificult part of the whole messy business is smiling for the ID, better known as the rogue ' s gallery, picture. But then too, it isn ' t the easiest task in the world to convince ad isors that it will be im- perative to take only twelve hours. This year the last registration on the old Wake Forest campus ran true to form, living up to everyone ' s worst expectations. The line that straggled up the steps of Wait Hall was just as long, the forms were just as numerous, and, if possible, the freshmen were even more confused. Worst of all, Saturday classes were still very much in existence. In the midst of inuch toil and many tears, registration ran its chaotic course, leaving students and faculty to patch up their shattered nerves as best they could before staggering off to meet tlieir new classes.

The staccato yells of the cheerleading squad re- sounded in the crisp air as the varsity and the novices prepared to rouse school spirit for the season. Pep rallies and street dancing warmed student spirit to a leverpitch for team support. .• lthough the fall semester had just gotten under way, work was assigned in earnest, and hours of labs and lectures were adding up. Science students, working late on chem- istry experiments and biology specimens, gazed wistfully toward the windows at the tempting activities going on out in the open. Over on pub row, the literary year was alrcad in prog- ress. Office doors remained open before the inevitable cold winds forced writers and editors to begin winter hibernation in their air-tight offices. -A little minor politicking was carried on as clubs re- organized and elected officers for the coming year. Pro- gram chairmen went to work booking up the interesting professors and local citizens for a year of informative meetings. 4- Inspiration for the football team and fans comes from the cheerleading of Carol Jennette. A winning season was partly a result of such efforts. The beauty of the Amos Johnson building is not the only power tha t draws men to it. Biology calls a man to work. Indications of the approaching winter show in the trees and sky; chapel spire dominates all the campus as fall swiftly becomes winter. Land of Dreains, here we come Visitors at home — that was the experience of Wake Forest students as they made their last annual pilgrimage to the promised land. Five-hundred Demon Deacons took advantage of the bus trip provided by the college to Winston-Salem on Saturday, September 24. The drizzling rain did not seem to dampen the spirits of this group as thev scampered over the new campus to inspect the new de- velopment. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors went to visit the scene of next year ' s home away from home while seniors could only look, admire, and perhaps wish that they could he a part of it.

Huddled imder raincoats and old papers the spec- tators cheered the team to a welcomed victory. Time for the trip back to Wake Forest came too soon, but most of the Deacons were glad that this once the buses were re- tiirniii lo the Old Wake Forest.

Just to set the mood, a pep ralh was staged on Fridav. and Deacons |3a ed the way for a Wake Forest ictory with yells and other outbursts of pep for the home team. Then many of the fraternities entertained dates and alumni with parties in Wake Forest and in Raleigh. Twelve pretty coeds were honor ed by their .selection to run in the Miss Demon Deacon contest. The students made their preference known by voting a penny-a-vote in this contest sponsored by the Monogram Club. Perhaps one of the most typical of Wake Forest pre- gamc pre|5araliuns is Homecoming decorations, and 1955 saw some of the best.

Professional baseball hero, Tommy Byrne, returned to Wake Forest after his fine pitching in the 1955 World Series. Students and town- people gathered on the sidewalks to give this Wake Forest .ihimnus a hero ' s welcome. Students and faculty alike eagerly kept ai)reast of the de elopments on the new campus. Many were skeptical of the almost unbelievable reports wafting back from Win- ston-Salem concerning the beauties and wonders being constructed there.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, the ordinary routine of college continued. Three times a week, as always, students filed into chapel, sat on the straight-backed wooden seats, and heard Ray Whitley announce dramatically that Seniors who have not had their Howl er pictures taken, please do so; a wallet containing no money, but some interesting addresses, has been found — owner see me after chapel.

V ' ' ' Rainmaker ' ' The Rainmaker came to Wake Forest accompanied b a cloudburst. The College Theater ' s production of N.

Curry during a bad drought in the twenties. The three male Currys, father and two boys, arc growing desperate. There is not only a dreadful lack of rain, but also an acute lack of suitors for the hand of Lizzie, the daughter of the household. Plain Lizzie, played so feelingly by Martha Bond Cook, dislikes intensely being a symbol of drought. She has consinccd herself that a loneK spinster ' s The three men of the family discu.

During King Football ' s last reign in Baptist Hollow the Demon Deacons piled up a 5-4-1 record against At- lantic C oast Conference opponents and two Southern Conference toes. The Wake Forest ele en was a pre-season question mark, liut when the last gun had sounded, the answer was satis- f ing to Deacon supporters. Finishing fourth in the tough ACX;, the Deacs could be proud of a winning season with a schedule dotted Ij such nationally ranked teams as Maryland, Duke, West X ' irginia, and CUcmson. More reserve strength would have bettered the Deacon cause in the final season before moving to Winston-Salem. Much credit for the winning season goes to head coach Tom Rogers and his assistants John Red Cocheran, Pride Ratterree, Taylor Sanford, and Don Hipps, freshman coach. A new face in Wake athletics was that of trainer Warren Floogie Arial who replaced Ernie McKenzie now with the Montreal Alouettes. At the season ' s end Rogers and athletic director Pat Preston resigned. The days following the final game were turljulent ones for Wake athletics and saw student reactions and aiuiuni movements which attracted state and nation-wide attention. An uncertainty about the school ' s athletic future was dis|X-lled with the selection of Army ' s Paul .-Xmen as head coach, and former F.B.I, man Bill Giljson as athletic di-. rector. A neu ' lootliall stall, Billv Hildebrand, Elmer Bai- liour, Ken Warble, and (ieiie (iilison completed ihi- new coaching loree. ' Fhe co-captains of the Deaes who were undefeated at home were Nick Consoles and Bob Bartholomew.

Later, another pass plav u ilh two and one half minutes left in the half put Coach . rt Lewis ' team ahead 26-0. After the intermission the Mountaineers, led In Wyant, drove 62 yards with mixed passes and thrusts at the left side to .score for a 32-0 lead.

Maryland made it 28-0 on a plunge by fullback Fred Hamilton shortK after the fourth quarter began. The hopes of the Deacons were kept ali e by support from the college band which made the trip and performed at halftiine, and a handful of students who made the trip up. Injuries, lack of reserves, and Maryland ' s overwhelming class were just too much for the plucky Deacons. The score was an obvious disappointment to the revenge-minded Terrapin rooters who had hoped lor a lopsided shut out victory. The last football game for the Wake C ' ountv Clhampion- ship ended in a 13-13 tie in . C. State ' s Riddick Stadium on October 15. The final battle for the mythical count crown saw the favored Deacons have to come from behind to salvage an unsatisfying tie for Wake Forest.

After a series of downs and penalties halfback John Parham took a pitchout on the 1 1 and went around left end to score. Carpenter, apparently holding the ball for the conversion attempt, took the center snap, stood, and threw to Charles Toppins; for the extra point. On the hist pla of the second half, halfback Bill Barnes fumbled on his own 34. From there, Clemson marched to the goal with halfback Joe Pagliei going over from the 16. After the kickofF, Wake Forest failed to move the ball, and t Carpenter ' s punt rolled dead on the Clemson 18.

In the final quarter Carpenter intercepted a Tiger pass on the C ' lemson 30.

Quarterljack C hailie Busse booted the extra point to end the scoring. The fans filed out of Groves Stadium for the last time on November 5 after they had torn down the goal posts to celebrate a 13-7 Wake Forest triumph in the last home game on the old campus. The Deacons capitalized on a controversial fumble recovery with around five minutes remaining to pull from a 7-6 deficit and defeat the William and Mary Indians 13-7. Wake halfback John Parham opened the scoring as he took a pitchout from quarterback Nick Consoles early in in the second period and outran the entire Indian back- field and fell across the goal for si. points. The touchdown came at the end of a 99 yard drive by the Deacons. William and Mary came back on its next possession, however, and the Indians led, 7 to 6, at halftime. Doug Hensley, workhor. se fullback for the visitors, scored the marker from two yards out after adding his part to a 10 play drive that carried for 70 yards. The disputed fumble came in the fourth period when W M receiver Charlie Sidwell hobbled a pass for a moment then let it fall to the turf. Parham recovered the ball for Wake but there was a dispute on whether or not .Sidwell really had possession of the ball. The oHicials ruled it a completed pa.ss and a recovered fumble.

It was their third victory o er a X ' irginia school, all with identical 13-7 scores. Xine times the Cavaliers threatened to cross the Wake Forest goal line and eight times the Deacon defense held. On the offensive scene it was the pitching of quarterbacks Xick Consoles and Charlie Carpenter to halfback John Parham for two touchdowns that defeated the N ' irginians. Parham, who led the Deacons in scoring for the season, put them out in front late in the first quarter when he snatched a screen pass from Consoles and raced through Cavalier defenders 68 yards to the end zone. The Deacs had just taken over after stopping a ' irginia drive to the Wake 16 yard line. The second quarter began with ' irginia again pressing, but after five exchanges of downs which saw the Cavaliers twice within the ake 15, Carpenter led the Deacons 70 yards through the air to the X ' irginia 15.

With C:hristmas acation in sight, holiday festivities soon usurp the campus spotlight. An air of recklessness prevails, and even the most cautious prepare to enjoy one last fling before the axe falls in January. This year was no exception, and the Vuletidc season ran its merry course — the co-cds decked their halls with Christmas trees and tinsel, Santa Claus made his appearance down town, and the Glee Club ga e its annual presentation of Handel ' s M,a i,i i. Then the students went their respectful uavs while the campus settled down in silence to await their reluctant return.

With clean slates and New Year ' s resolutions, students ni( inorized their new schedules and hopefully began their new classes. However, basketball soon forced studying to take the back seat again. Cheered on by loyal and energetic fans, the Deacons launched a successful season, in spite of the loss to State in the NCAA finals. Coach Murray Greason was honored as the Basketball Coach of the Year. The second semester brought several visitors to the campus.

Pub Row editors cracked the whip over delin- quent copy-writers, professors cracked down, and some students simply cracked. Ex ' crything had a deadline as students and faculty became more and more aware of the problems to be ironed out before the big move and the dwindling time to do it in. The rainy season and the term papers set in at the same time. Students shouldered their burdens with an air of resignation and wearily hoped that spring and Graduation were just around the corner.

Action thrillers The liJ-SS-Sd i-dilion of the Wake Forest basketball team began the season with tlie sports writers predicting only a mediocre year. Gomments like Wake ' U be lucky to win a Big Four game were heard over the state, but when the season was mi-v the Demon Deacons had come up with a 19-9 record and a linal rating in the Top 20 teams in the nation. Head coach Murray Greason and assistant coach Horace Bones McKinney were faced with the problem uf replacing Ail-American center Dickie Hemric. Greason, the Atlantic C oast Conference Coach of the Year, did one of his best jobs in his 22 years at the helm here and came up with a team which he i.inks w ith the finest ever produced by the college.

The Deacons continued their winning ways by grabbing the first Carousel Tournament in Charlotte with victories u er Mississippi State, Cornell, and Clemson. Moving into the Di. ie Classic, Wake Forest eliminated Minnesota of the Big Ten before falling to N. C. State and Duke. Revenge for the loss to the Blue Devils came in the first game of 1956 when Wake Forest trounced the Durham .school 84-71 for the first Big Four Victory. Three days later the Deacs showed their win was no fluke by con- quering North CUirolina ' s Tarheels. The high flying Deacons ran into trouble with George Washington and fell from the national ratings by virtue of an eight game winning streak including a pair of triumphs over Clemson, South Carolina, and Richmond, and single wins over Virginia and Duke. Then came the battle with North Carolina ' s Tarheels at Woolen Gymnasium in Chapel Hill. In the closing seconds of a game which had been hotly contested the Tarheels moved out into a slim victory margin.

The students cut down the nets following a 76-60 triumph o er Maryland Terrapins which featured a display of good sportsmanship from the Baptist Hollow fans. A disappoint- ing 76-74 overtime loss to N. C. State closed out the regular season. In the AC ' C toiu ne the Deacons posted a first round victory over South Carolina after trailing throughout the contest. Sweet revenge came in the next round which saw- Wake Forest humiliate North Carolina ' s nationally ranked Tarheels by a 21 point margin. Gaining the finals, Wake Forest faced State for the fourth time of the season and was in the loser ' s role again. It was the seventh game the Dea- cons had played at the Coliseum, their second home court, where they played as many times this year as they did in Gore Gym. The big gun for the Wake Forest quintet this season was Captain Lowell Lefty Davis who led the team in scoring with a 19.2 average. Lefty made several all-conference teairs and baffled opponents with his awkward biU ac- curate left-hand jump shot. At the other starting forward slot was Jack Williams, a meinber of the 1953 Southern Conference champion tcain before entering the service. After a slow start, Williains Lefty Eavis and Jim Gilley fight for rebound in Minne- sota gam.e.

To big Jim Gilley fell the unenviable task of filling Hemric ' s shoes. He proved to be one of the steadiest per- formers of the team and came up with many timely baskets and rebounds. In the back court the Deacons were perhaps the strongest team in the ACC. Jackie Murdock and Ernie Wiggins both piled up nifty .500 shooting averages to lead the league in field goal accuracy. Murdock was one of the nation ' s leading foul shooters and led the Deacoi ' .s in over-all elliciencv. The ball handling of Wiggins and amazing 12 for 12 field goal night against State were bright spots in the De.icon .itlaek. Memories of the 1955-56 season will hold many thrills for Wake Forest fans. The term was one of the best of all- time here and the entire school can be proud of its record against man of the n.ition ' s top teams. m-rn r , -, -. -.

That ' s the title the Demon Deacons held in 1956 as they were faced with the tough job of defending their coveted position against a strong group of Atlantic Coast Conference opponents. Every team which took the field against the Deacs had just one thing in mind — upsetting the XCAA champs. The pre-season picture was darkened with the resig- nation of Taylor Sanford who had coached the Wake Forest nine to their victory in the college world series in Omaha, Neb., in the summer of 1955. .Sanford had earned the title of NC.A. Baseball Coach of the Year, but resigned his post for a position with a national health food company. All the way Champions C:harlic Teaguc. second baseman and Ail-American on the 1949 club which went to the NCAA finals, took o er the coaching reins and piloted the Deacs to another win- ning season. The strong point of the veteran club was the pitching staff. The backljonc of the mound corps was the last season ' s Big 3 of Lowell Leftv Davis, Jack McGinley, and John .Stokoe. Backing them up were Buck Fichter, Bill Walsh, and Bill Lovingood. On the receiving end was Linwood Holt, .Mi-American backstop. Much credit for the ictory in Omaha is given to the experienced handling Holt gave the Deacs ' reserve backstop. t f ft pitchers for the mighty 1956 team are Lowell (Lefty) Davis. Buck Fichter, Jack McGinley, John Stokoe. and Bill Walsh. The baseball team take time out to pose for a picture on the practice field. Players are, first row, Kilby, Stokoe, H.

The infield contained big Frank McRae, a converted outfielder, at first base, and a keystone combination of Harold Cocky Moore at shortstop and Jack Bryant at second, which turned out many dazzling double plays dur- ing the season. Covering the hot corner was Bill Barnes whose daring base running was a feature of many games. The flychasers held down their outer-garden berths in fine fashion. Al Baker, a newcomer to the starting squad, was the left fielder. Covering the vast expanse of center ' field was Luther McKeel. George Miller held down the right field slot. This club opened with a winning streak which carried the team to its second straight Dixie Classic championship. The Deacons took the initial contest with a rout of Loyola of the South in a game played at Baptist Hollow. The Deacon iniielders are: Bill Barnes, third base; Harold Moore, shortstop; Jack Bryant, second base; and Frank McRae, first base. Wolfpack of X. C State were the next victims of the slugging Wake Forest nine. Moving into the championship round the Demon Deacons faced a highly touted Michigan club.

The Deacon golfers looked like defending champions and extended their winning streak into the spring matches. The Deac linksmen were coached by Horace Bones McKinney and led by John Gerring; the number one man. After Greenie came Joe Turner, Phil Weichman. Henrv Kerfoot, Dave OgiK ie, and Ralph James. This group composed the team which represented V ' ake Forest in the spring golf matches. Henr.v Kerfoot helps Phil Weichman with his grip as they prepare for golf season. The Wake Forest golf team compiled an unbeaten record last year. Golf team: Gallager glances towards the cup as James. Kerfoot. Gerring, Weick- man. and Turner keep their eye on the ball. SSS3i Coed sports Some people may say that females are the weaker sex, but they haven ' t seen Wake Forest coeds in action. The more energetic girls participate in all of the intramural and intercollegiate sports offered, and many more are active in at least one sport. The liaskitliall team went to Winston-Salem and played in a Ujurnanient uiih six other schools. They defeated Woman ' s College and High Point College; thus gaining seats in the finals, where they were defeated by Salem. Then in true Wake Forest spirit they walloped the Caro- lina coeds in a game played at Wake Forest. The out- standing net swishers were Sybil Hinkle and Mary Hawkins. Allred lifts the ball from Mitchell as she attempts basket. Tip it over — that ' s the trick in Ihe energetic game of volleyball. • • ' •tM ' ¥« • - ' - nm ollc ball is another favorite with the girls. When spring comes around, a steady stream of girls may be seen going towards Gore Gym aljout six o ' clock every night. The two dormitories as well as the four WRA societies have it out and give each other keen competition. Other sports in which the coeds excel are softljall, field hockey, tennis, golf, archery, and various recreational games. The girls don ' t do all the hard work for their health alone. Numerous awards arc gi en to individuals as well as groups. At the end of each team sport WRA presents a plaque to the ictorious dormitory. In the individual sports, trophy style awards are given to the winners. The girls may also earn points by leadership and partici- pation in sports. A jacket for having 100 points, a key for 250 points, and a blanket for 375 points. To have a well-rounded education one must be equally developed physically as well as emotionally, morally, socially, and mentally. The physical education department gives coeds an ample opportunity to develop interest and skill in a variety of sports.

Queen Elizzbeth Cioulduian reigned o er the eighth annual Magnolia Pageant climaxing a week of concerts, exhibits, and Shakespeare. All of the beauty, lightfootedness, and gaiety of May were caught up in this happy day. These remembrances of last year ' s spring festival ran through our minds as the signs of that season appeared once again in riotous color. The Magnolia Ball climaxed the day as the Queen and her court were formally presented to an appreciative audience of coeds and their dates. Strains of music floated across the spodighted patio of the Community House as each beauty made her bow. The memories of eight previous Festi als mingled witli the final Magnolia Da on llie old campus.

The display was rendered more valuable by the comments and guides to appreciation given by Prof. A. L. Aycock. The Glee Club lived up to its reputation and added immeasurably to the Magnolia Week with its spring con- cert. The Touring Choir stayed home and treated the local citizens to a sample of its repertoire of sacred music. Dr. Thane McDonald worked overtime to add the special touch which good music adds to any event. The College Band, directed by Angelo Capparella, also chimed in with its Magnolia Concert to make up this musical week. For the entire week, students were given the best of cultural educations in the most enjoyable forms. The Festi -al Week ser ed as a reprie ' e from the ordinary weekly rountine of classes and book learning. The glossy-leaved magnolias sighed a little more audibly as the week drew to a close. Perhaps these witnesses of many such festivals perceived that this would be the last over which they would preside.

For the first time in Student Government history an independent man was elected to the Presidency of the student body. David Hirano, the popular guy from Hawaii, defeated Ray Whitley for the office, but the race was close, exciting, and typical of the well-fought campaigns at Wake Forest. The Campus party reigned supreme, with an Independent as President and Treasurer, a Fraternity man as ' ice-President and Senior President, and a Coed as studi ' nt bod .Secretarv.

Something special was in the air that May morning. It was not only the brightness of the sun rays sifting down through the magnolias, the grass sparkling with dew, or the chapel steeple outlined against a blue sky. This special something was inuch more — it was an undeniably pleasant, yet melancholy feeling for seniors graduation day. Four years had passed, and they had come to love this college. In spite of the homesickness, weary hours of study, first period classes, and dreaded e.xams, college had held them in its spell and was now rewardinij them.

Everyone hesjan assurino; e er (mi- else that tho.se buildings will be ready and waiting when the time comes, and commenting, Won ' t that be nice? Facults members, along about mid-semester, began vanishing on week-ends to plan and inaugurate work on new homes. . new atmosphere spread over the campus as second semester reared its awful head and stared administrators, librarians, and faculty meml ers in the face. The new era had come now to be reality; a college w.is ili-fmilely mi) ing, and that right aw.iy. The last six wicks of sclinol s.iw a scene of activity equal to that on the hardwoods during the basketball games with State. The Registrar ' s office became a sea of applications as summer school drew nearer; the bursar ' s office was swept in a flood of panicky students paying room deposits; faculty members grew uneasy as their projects were still looking as unfinished as a pizza pie. The librarians could be seen with damp brows and worried looks as the rising heat made the task of sorting and mo ' ing books unbearable. Then the actual moving began. Van loads of books from the Law Library had begun to move out as early as six weeks before the end of school. Carefully labelled pack- . ages could be seen in the process of loading, as their care- takers advised constantly to please be careful. It became increasingly evident everywhere that a mighty lot had been done in preparation as the moving proceeded in fine form. Meanwhile, the campus at Winston also was busy, but in a much quieter way. Offices and classrooms were meas- med and fitted. Shelves yawned and hungered for books, and windows were impatient for the sight of the College ' s arrival. The city of Winston-.Salem rolled out the red carpet and extended a royal welcome. Heart-felt good-byes and cheery greetings were exchanged simultaneously when the day arrived that all aches were finally ready to be forgotten. Memories decide what must be taken as Dr. and Mrs. H. Broadus Jones begin sorting and packing. 210 The dynamic city of Winston-Salem will receive Wake Forest College, whose heritage of learning began over a century before at a farm in Wake County. Mr. Carlton West, head librarian, planned and supervised the tremendous task of moving the college library. Shelves in the rare collection room of the new library are tvpical of multitudes of others that must be filled s Post Script It is a wonderful feeling to see a clean ofHce and know that you ha e finished.

In your mind you have a somewhat hysterical picture of what you have done, and before your mind appear images of people you have either inade angry or delighted, of those you would like to work with another year because they were so nice. To the editor, these people will always be reinembered; but they deserve to be known for their work. The 1956 Ho M,ER is the labor of many people. Dr. Edwin G. Wilson, faculty advisor, restored on many oc- casions the editor ' s sanity. Mr. C Gordon Brightman of JAHN OLLIER ENGRA TNG GOMPANV gave en- couragement and hope to the staff. Mr. Charles Lee Smith of EDWARD.S BROUGHTON interposed a bit of reality by scaring the editor about printing deadlines. The cla ss portraits and Magnolia Gourt were done by Smith .Studios of Raleigh, and the greater part of the pictorial content is the work of Irvin Grigg. The . ews Observer gave football shots, and Jewel Hardison of The Raleigh Times made the picture on the Campus Life division and the picture which appears on page 142. Burnie Batchelor made most of the basketball pictures. Campus views were contributed by Dr. Charles Allen. Marv Britt made the candids on page 66. Cxedit is gi en to Dr. George W. Paschal and Russell Brantley for source material in the history. Midnight hours were donated by arious members of the staff. Polly Binkley, Associate Editor, wrote the history and directed panel production. Charles Richards was a knight in shining armor as he gallantly kept work going in the midst of desolation. Jane Lewis patiently polished copy, and knows everything in the book by heart. Kittv Booth, Photography Editor, did a top rate job in securing the best pictures. Doug Graham, Engravings Editor, ordered every engraving. John Roberts pounded out sports copy and made trips to Raleigh to hound newsmen. Bert Walton composed copy for the division pages. Carol Stroud, Gloria Flippin, and Melinda Speas labored over captions. Edie Hutchins drove the typing staff, and Bob Williams edited the fraternity copy. Easiness Manager Joe Killian spent the year at Winston-Salem and wore out the back pockets of his pants. Dave Welton, Anne Burrus, and Jo- Anne Crawford were his accomplices. As the years steadily yellow the pages and fray the cover (which is an Owen Herring idea), you should know that it is clad in a Kingscraft cover of goat and linen materials manufactured by Kings-Press, Inc., Kingsport, Tennessee, and printed by EDWARDS BROUGHTON, Raleigh, North Carolina.
