DR. EDGAR ESTES FOLK

The 1941 Howler is dedicated to Edgar Estes Folk, a man whom we have
come to know as an indispensable pan of Wake Forest. The use of words, at
best, is clumsy when we set ou, even to suggest the role that Dr. Folk has played
in his five years as a member of the faculty here. His relations with students
might be prized by an individual for a trip to Canterbury: Dr. Folk conducts a
trip each year to the shrine of Thomas a-Becket in classroom studies of Geoffrey
Chaucer. His curses in literature and language are unforgettable experiences.

*Jf

However, we feel a peculiar pride in dedicating this book to Dr. Folk for his
work with and among the publications at Wake Forest. Through seasons of
waning strength, the publications have rallied under his ceaseless efforts and
respected judgment. What had been shapeless forms of campus originality and
desires to write have taken on a new contour under his guidance. Transformations
have come about through changes made by student publications leaders inspired
by the teachings of Dr. Folk. He has offered hours in time, days of work and
worry, and the door of his office has never been closed to men who seek earnestly
to find new threads of finer journalism in a baffling era.

Dr. Folk is also a leader in other campus activities, spending much time during
spring and autumn afternoons on the tennis courts, where he instructs the varsity
players. He always has time for assistance in any worthy cause, and he is a
devoted man of the home. Indeed, he personifies the enviable characteristics
associated with brilliance in scholarship and Christian leadership; yet we like
best to think of him as a newspaperman who has given his all to assist us in inter-
preting for ourselves the often-confusing story of life, 1941.

t wm It in 1940-41:

What Wake Forest was in 1940-41 in general may best be summed
up in twelve major divisions of campus life, activity, and surround-
ings. What the year was to the individual student may never be
known, or, on the other hand, it may be displayed somewhere some
day in the future. Students gave life to a campus and buildings; and
activity burned steadily through the thin pages of time until a year
was gone, and now, at the end, our associations are spoken of in a
retrospective past tense.

The single year was a drama, a play enacted by nearly twelve
hundred men, each playing roles with fellow dramatists as an audience.
Working together on the production were faculty and students; the
buildings composed a background; the faculty contributed knowledge;
students generated companionship with other students; professional
students exemplified perseverance; campus life connotated conviviality;
religion developed devotion; publications perpetuated activity; athlet-
ics demonstrated strength; honorary fraternities added dignity; social
fraternities fostered friendship; music conveyed culture; forensics lent
poise — all combined to present a drama of informality and formality,
a play of words, deeds, and thoughts.

Threading the life-of-one-year's moments into a single weave, the
drama was of myriad patterns. Each actor played his role and some-
day will look back to the production of 1940-41, when he was a fresh-
man, sophomore, junior, senior, or professional student, to an autumn,
winter and spring that he can't easily forget.

The plant of Wake Forest College was begun 107 years ago when
a handful of loyal believers in education and youth laid what might
be termed the corner stone to the foundation of an institution whose
growth has never been phenomenal, yet always steady. Plots of green
grass and scores of deep-green trees have always played a big part on
the campus scene. The first buildings on the campus have been
replaced by more modern and necessary equipment, and the same
spirit which held together the handful of loyal believers has brought
about the changes. In recent years, brick walks, one by one, have
replaced rut-paths that once seamed the campus, and many of the
buildings are still trimmed with traditional ivy.

The faculty at Wake Forest represents a row of mental lighthouses
along the shore lines of student intellects. Their experiences in the
world outside give them a peculiar insight into what will be demanded
of the student of today, the explorer of life tomorrow. This body of
teachers is composed of specialists in a hundred walks of scholarship.
What they have learned is made available to the student who must go
out away from the lighthouse tomorrow. Where the student at Wake
Forest in "the good old days" was inspired by outpourings of oratory
and smokey stoves, the student of 1941 finds similar inspiration in
modern methods of classroom work. Tomorrow he will have to cope
with problems of a modern worlds » » » » » » » » » » » »

President

LL.D., F.A.C.P.

Brillkint efficiency, remarkable
precision, and a deep spirit of
helpfulness and cooperation are
the distinguishing characteristics
of the leaders of the Wake Forest
College's progressive administra-
tion. At the head of the institu-
tion is Dr. Thurman D. Kitchin,
President, an experienced execu-
tive, a renowned doctor, and an
eminent scholar. Occupying the
position of Dean of the College of
Liberal Arts, a place which de-
mands the great amount of tact
and understanding necessary for
dealing with college students,
is Dr. D. B. Bryan. As Deans of

Admijnis

their respective schools, Dr. C. C. Carpenter of I he
School of Medicine and Dr. Dale F. Stansbury of the
School of Law direct the affairs of their departments
with such skill and ability that their schools have be-
come recognized throughout the nation. In Elliott B.
Earnshaw the college has a man whose thorough capa-
bilities have been indispensable for three decades to our
college. As Bursar, Mr. Earnshaw serves every depart-
ment and phase of Wake Forest, and his willingness to
aid others is unequalled by anyone. The last of the
administrative offices, but certainly not the least, is that
of the Registrar, Grady S. Patterson. Beginning long
before any school session starts and extending long after
the year ends. Mr. Patterson's duties are extremely
exacting, but his ability to handle such an office is un-
questioned by anyone, faculty member, student, or
alumni.

HEMBER THEM

James Hilton, one of today's foremost
novelists, created in Mr. Chips a lovable
college professor, who sat serenely by and
watched the boys come and go, year after
year, and stole a niche in the heart of each
of them. As the youthful prep school
students in the life of Mr. Chips, all of us
regret the days when we, too, have to say
''Goodbye" to our teachers.

Though the freshman may come to Wake
Forest with the preconceived idea that all
college professors are eccentric and absent-
minded, their notions are dispelled in a
week. Straightway vanish the stories of
college instructors who walk around in
rain with umbrellas on their arms, or who
put on two shirts and wonder where the
first one disappeared.

The Wake Forest faculty is human, down-
to-earth, willing to go the last mile to help.

Though his stay was short, we will never
forget the late Donald Pfohl.

Drs. Giddings and Jones seem-
ingly enjoy the Phi Beta Kappa
Banquet.

We will never forget Dr.

Hubert as a professor,

a golfer, and most of

all as a speaker.

Dr. Folk plays
many roles on
our campus —
teacher coach,
j ournalist,
speaker, and
friend.

Able to speak on any subject, Dr. Binkley leads one of the

Nevertheless, as in the case of any group,

All of us who ever struggled with one of
Dr. Reid's gigantic term paper projects
or laughed at Dr. Cocke's account of
the love scenes between a drone and a
queen bee will retain forever these
memories of our college days. Cer-
tainly Prof. Memory's educational yarns
about "fellows I used to know" and the
odors of hydrogen sulphide coming from
the depths of one of Dr. Wyatt's chem-
istry lab will remain parts of the mental
scrapbooks of our collegiate experiences.

Students on a college campus work and play just as citizens in an
outside world. The government designed for the student on the
campus is relatively the same to him as the national government
is to the citizen outside. Few individuals realize the need for student
legislation more than the men who make, abide by, or break the
campus laws. As is true in the world of America, the men who are
parts of the world make the laws, break them, or abide by them. At
Wake Forest the regulations are effected by the students. Lines of
discipline are not harsh but rigid; the student sees for himself those
rules he needs best to abide by. His channel of requirements is
shaped by a student council and student legislature.

STUDENT
COUNCIL

ipon the Student Council lies
the responsibility for the law and order of Wake
Forest; upon this, the most important organiza-
tion on the campus, are imposed the duties of
making rules regarded necessary for college men
and of dealing with those few who violate these
regulations.

The president of the student body, Bobby Gold-
berg, is president of the Student Council and
presides over the weekly meetings and the special

call meetings necessary to transact urgent busi- Bob Goldberg

ness. With the other members who are elected President

from the various classes, he has done a splendid
job of administering the rules which the Student

Legislature has passed upon. One of the vital questions brought up each year is that of upholding the honor system, and
this year's Student Council has completed a noble work in this capacity. One of the praiseworthy policies of the group
is that of refraining from spreading the news that a student has been ordered to leave school because of dishonesty.
Should a man be convicted of such, he is quietly asked to leave the college, and nothing more is said about the matter.
Probably the most significant work of the Student Council is dealing with the host of new men who arrive on the campus
every September. To help with the orientation of the freshmen the Council has created the Freshman Advisory Board,
whose chief duty is to make the frosh feel at home from the moment they set foot on Deacon soil.

A notable work of the past group was the elimination of gambling here at the college and in general abolishing all
practices which might mar the superlative traditions of Wake Forest College.

This year's Councilmen have realized the position to which they have been chosen l>\ their fellow students, and they
have carried out remarkably the austere duties imposed upon them.

- ■■■

STUDENT LEGISLATURE

Taking the United States Congress as its model, the Student Council in 1923 created the Student Legislature, an
organization to be vested with the power of amending old laws and enacting" new ones. For eighteen years this legis-
lature has served its Wake Forest constituency faithfully and well.

The purpose of the law-making body is to pass any laws which it deems necessary for the efficient enforcement of
student government. The members consist of the presidents of each of the academic and graduate classes, a member
elected from each of these classes, and a representative from the ministerial association. Archie McMillan, president
of the Senior Class, is, by virtue of his position, chairman of the Student Legislature for this year. Under the able
guidance of McMillan and the ten other members who make up the Congress, it has had a successful year in 1940-41
and has made important steps toward the achievement of its goal, an orderly, well-directed campus life. Probably the
most important single act of the legislature this year was the
passage of a new law according to which the Law School Honor
System is hereafter to be separate from that of the Academic
School, and the Law School is to establish a court to rule on all
cases arising under its jurisdiction.

In addition to its formal legal work, the Legislature takes a
serious personal interest in every student. Just as the U. S.
Congress purposes to represent its entire electorate, so Wake
Forest's law-making body considers it as a part of its duty to
promote the welfare of the individual student. Any man on
the campus may feel free at any time to present for careful study
a proposal which he thinks should be embodied in a law. He
may feel sure that it will be given thoughtful attention, for to
function as a completely democratic organization is one of the
primary aims of the Student Legislature.

PUBLICATIONS BO Ml)

In an effort to foster better publications on the Wake Forest College Campus, the Publications Board was organ-
ized as a means of securing men who are competent rather than trust the selection of the editors and business
managers of the three publications to the caprice of campus politics.

Since the establishment of this board the Wake Forest College publications have reached a higher level during the
past five years. This attainment can best be attributed to the fact that men have been trained from their freshman and
sophomore years as possible future officials of the publications on our campus. This training has become essential
under the regulations set down by the Publications Board. In order that a man might qualify for a position as editor
or business manager of The Howler, The Old Gold and Black, or The Student he must meet certain basic requirements as
set down by the Board. The candidate must not only have a working knowledge of the duties of his office, but he
also has to make a complete study of the history of his respective publication. In addition to these capabilities, a pro-
spective editor or business manager must live up to certain standards based on scholarship, character, and experience.

The 1939 Howler, under the direction of Carl Dull as aditor and Jess Reid as business manager, was awarded
the high distinction of an All-Amcrican Yearbook. This was the first time in the history of the college that any Wake
Forest publication has been given such ranking. The following year over fifty yearbooks throughout the nation used
the same theme as appeared in this Wake Forest Annual.

This year the Publications Board, with Norvell Ashburn as President, Ralph Earnhardt, vice-president, and James
Early, secretary, has been primarily concerned with choosing the editors and business managers for the 1942 publica-
tions. The board also sponsored the annual Publications Banquet to which the members of the Board and members
of the various staffs were invited.

The Publications Board is composed of the editors and business managers of the three publications, the pres-
ident of the student body, two representatives from each class, Drs. A. C. Reid, E. E. Folk, H. B. Jones, Mr. E. B.
Earnshaw and Professor J. L. Memory.

SENIOR CLASH

With the unassuming dignity acquired after four years of college, the seniors occupy places of preeminence
among the student body. After a long period of work and days of freshman initiations, sophomore eclipse,
and junior anticipations, they have at last reached the stage of senior leadership. They have become attached
to the unsurpassed campus beauty, the daily toll of the bell and . . . yes, in a way, the eight o'clock classes.
They have finally come to regard Wake Forest College as home.

The outstanding seniors are those who have attained their status through a gradual rise over their four years
here and have proved themselves worthy of being called the college leaders. In every phase of scholastic and
extra-curricular activities they have been tested and found competent.

The "flaming sophcmores of 1937" last fall brought to a glorious finale their careers on the Deacon eleven.
Captain Jimmy Ringgold, Tony Gallovich, John Jett, Louis Trunzo, and in fact most of the entire football
team made many a loyal Wake Forest man's heart beat faster to a tune of triumph. Captain Vince Convery
and Carl Ray left the basketball five after spectacular exhibitions. On the baseball team it was Dick Hoyle,
Tony Gallovich, and Carl Ray. Archie McMillan and Broadus Jones swung with notable success their tennis
rackets on behalf of their class.

Many of the seniors demonstrated that they definitely have a nose for news, as was exemplified by the dili-
gence of Wells Norris, Jim Early, and Norvell Ashburn. Weston Hatfield proved that there was forensic
talent among the personnel of the senior class. In religious activity Harold McManus, Bill Poole, and Bill
Phillips predominated.

The seniors have manifested their seriousness and careful consideration in the matter of choosing the men
to head their class. This year's selection of Archie McMillan of Raleigh as president, Harold Bailey of Bald
Creek as vice president, Ed Lilies of Middlesex as treasurer, and Bill Phillips of Warsaw as secretary,
affirms the statement. To these men is owed a great deal of credit for directing their class in achieving the
accomplishments long to adorn the annals of Wake Forest College !

JUNIOR CLASS

In all walks of collegiate activity the juniors of 1941 have occupied a top notch position. In athletics,
forensics, religion, publications, and other activities the juniors have proved themselves capable of taking
over the various important campus jobs next year.

The football team has found almost indispensable the playing of John Polanski, Frank Kapriva, Carl Givler,
and Pat Geer. These men formed a part of the core of the varsity football squad which went through one
of the most successful football seasons in the history of Wake Forest College . Fans of the college were particularly
impressed with the exceptional playing of Juniors Jimmy Bonds and Herb Cline during the basketball season.
Bonds was the high scorer of the squad, and Cline was mentioned on many All-Southern Conference Teams.
Baseball might have played a less significant role had not such juniors as Bob Reid, John Fletcher, Arthur
Vivian and Ray Everly stepped into the shoes of veterans of past seasons. Tennis also found a junior once
more on the firing lines for Wake Forest. In such a role Dexter Moser occupied the No. 3 spot on the court
squad.

The junior class was efficiently represented in the field of journalistic work by Royal Jennings on The Howler,
Newbill Williamson in Old Gold and Black work, and Phil Highfill on The Student. Noteworthy juniors in foren-
sics were Ralph Brumet and George Watkins. In religious work Elliott Galloway, John Fletcher, and Jack
Gross were the leaders.

This year's Junior Class was under the leadership of George Watkins of Durham, President ; Dexter Moser
of Burlington, Vice President; Jimmy Cross of Burlington, Secretary; and Arthur Vivian of Summit, N. J.,
Treasurer.

Honarary fraternities usually get most of their new members from the Junior Class; the reason being that in
their three years the men have usually shown their abilities.

And now the Junior Class history is complete. Next year it will be the senior class, and then it will be their
duty to play the part that they have been anticipating all during the year.

SOPHOMORE CLASS

Returning to school as upperclassmen, the sophomores, with memories of their past year fresh in their minds,
lost little time in administering so-called "justice" to the lowly frosh. Soon, however, rat courts became a
little boring, and the second-year men had to turn to other fields for amusement.

In the field of sports, the sophs early distinguished themselves, many of their number being recruited by
the varsity athletic teams for prominent positions on the various squads. On the gridiron three second-year
men performed brilliantly. J. V. Pruitt proved to be the surprise star of the season, turning in his most admi-
rable performance as quarterback in the Carolina game. Big Pat Preston and Tony Rubino were two other
sophomores who earned their letters on the football team. Playing at tackle, the big two-hundred-pounders
proved men hard to handle and improved steadily as the season progressed.

Winter brought basketball and the stepping in of Hank Lougee and Everett Berger to varsity positions on
the quint. These two sophomores rang up their share of goals and in general distinguished themselves by their
fine play. In the spring baseball brought forth a flare of new talent from the ranks of the sophomore class.
George Edwards, Henry Lougee, John Conley, and Billy Primm proved to be consistent players on the dia-
mond. Jack Acree and John McMillan represented their classmates on the tennis courts.

In the field of publications Bill Ayers, Bob Gallimore, Ed Wilson, Neil Morgan, and Billy Primm turned
in enough first-rate copy to prove that they will achieve greater heights in years to come. Billy Windes spoke
for his fellow students on the Debate Squad.

But all was not work. In early December at the Woman's Club in Raleigh, the sophomores, in collaboration
with the freshmen, had their annual frosh-soph hop, where they presented the first floor show ever to be given
at a Wake Forest dance.

For their class officers the sophomores chose Henry Lougee of Durham president; Jim Northington of La-
crosse, Virginia, vice president; Rowland Pruette of Wadesboro, secretary; and Bob Pope of Enfield, treasurer.

The work of specialization for more involved duties in the world
outside has been done by Wake Forest students for some years now.
There is the School of Medical Sciences, the Law School, and the
Graduate School. As groups these men comprise the personnel of
a part of the institution given over to development in specialized and
professional work ahead. These men will be among the lawyers, the
doctors, the professors, laboratory men, and writers of tomorrow's
often-referred-to outside world. Hours and weeks of steady grinding,
wherein the problems of a puzzling society are turned over and
examined, are spent by these students. Such leaders in the making
represent the part of Wake Forest that some day will direct tasks sim-
ilar to their own of today.

WAKE FOREST MEDWAL SCHOOL

Next year the Wake Forest Medical School will be moved to Winston-Salem to
become the new Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest College. The
official transfer of the school will be around the first of July, 1941.

The new medical plant is now in the process of completion; some of the buildings
are ready for use now, but the entire plant will be complete by October 1. The
structure is fireproof throughout, and is made of brick reinforced with steel. The
total cost of the new school building will be approximately $1,250,000. The medical
school and the hospital are under the same roof and have communicating floors.
The hospital will contain 350 beds, 300 for adults and 50 bassinets for new born
babies. In the rear of the hospital will be a teaching amphitheater that will
seat 350 people. This will be used for staff meetings and other medical meetings as
well as for teaching purposes. Dean C. C. Carpenter and the building committee,
together with his staff, have purchased equipment which will cost about $100,000 and
will compare favorably with that found in the best hospitals of the land.

During the next year's session, 1941-42, the medical school will offer the first two
years of work, as it has done heretofore. The following year, 1942-43, three years
of medical work will be offered. Thereafter the full four-year course will be given
and the M. D. degree will be conferred.

However, even though a great deal of attention has been given to the development
of the new medical school, the faculty and students have continued their study of
the arts and sciences of medicine. The students have been under the leadership of
Frank Parrott, President of the Medical School Student Body; J. W. Rose, Vice-
President; and Dan Boyette, Secretary-Treasurer. The three officers have combined
their efforts to bring the students together into a compact, well organized group
which endeavors to seek out the truths and solve the mysteries of medicine to the
betterment of the human race.

"We. the Students of the Wake Forest Law School, in order to form a more perfect union; to foster legal science;
to maintain the honor and dignity of the legal profession among law students; to cultivate professional ethics and social
intercourse among ourselves; and to promote the welfare of the law school of Wake Forest College do this the twenty-
fourth day of October nineteen hundred and forty ordain and establish this constitution for the Wake Forest Student
Bar Association."

Thus reads the preamble to the Constitution of the Student Bar Association of the Law School of Wake Forest College,
as adopted at a joint meeting of all three classes of the Law School on the evening of October 24, 1940.

Behind this preamble, and the rest of the Student Bar Constitution, stand many hours of work by Melvin Yancey, from
Oxford, North Carolina, who was, at the time. President of the Law School. Yancey had an idea, not original, perhaps,
but an idea which he thought would be of benefit to our Law School if it were given an opportunity to function here.
With this idea constantly present in his mind, Yancey viewed the law schools of our neighbors, Duke University and the
University of North Carolina; he viewed their student bodies and their organizations, he read their regulations, he
corresponded with their officials.

Still the idea grew, and the need for an organization
jurisdiction became more and more apparent. Th

which would include every member of the Law School within its
split in the student body of the Law School between fraternity
and non-fraternity groups, usually apparent only at election time, was becoming deeper and more permanent in nature.
Unwilling to take any chance of being labelled partisan in the organization of the Student Bar, Yancey asked other
outstanding students to help him, these men coming from both groups, fraternity and non-fraternity, without dis-
crimination. With Yancey as the moving spirit, this group of students drew up a Constitution for the government
of the Student Bar.

The Constitution being drawn, [he next obstacle presenting itself was that of presenting it to the law students for adop-
tion. On the night of October 24, 1940, part of the student body gathered in the first-year classroom to hear the
Constitution read and to adopt it routinely. Many other law school meetings had been held, seldom attracting more
than two thirds of the law students. On this particular night, there was the usual small attendance, with little interest
being manifested in the proceedings.

Second row: Earl Shuford, Cicei

President Yancey yielded the chair to Bob Randolph, and Randolph began to read the Constitution as it had been
drawn. His voice droned on, with only brief pauses: -Article One. This Association shall be known. . . ," "Article
Two. All students in good standing. . . ," and so it went.

The formal parts of the document having been covered, the rules for the governing of the members of the Student Bar
Association were read. Immediately a furor of discussion arose. Voices became sharp, tempers short. "I move
that the phrase, 'And other work' be stricken from that clause reading, 'Every person found guilty of cheating with
reference to examinations "and other work" shall be subject to dismissal'." "Mr. President, Mr. President. I would
like to ask if the provision for secret balloting in elections would outlaw the signed ballot?" "I move to amend it to
read that every person brought to trial before the Court shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty."
The members of the student body present were roused. The debates threatened to extend unreasonably. Compromises
were offered and reluctantly accepted. Clauses of the Constitution were purposely left ambiguous, subject to future
interpretation. But the Constitution was adopted and the Student Bar Association of Wake Forest College formally
launched. Ofhcers were elected during the ensuing week, and the students expressed their appreciation for the o-0od
ob done by electing Melvin Yancey the first President of the Association, by acclamation.

Other officers elected in that first election held under the Student Bar Constitution were Myers Cole Joe Huff, and
Horace Chamblee, presidents, respectively, of the Third, Second and First Year Classes, and ex officio in the same
order, First, Second and Third Vice-Presidents of the Student Bar. J. E. Tate was elected Secretary, accompanied
by Lewis Coleman as Treasurer.

With this group of officers as a nucleus, work was started toward making the Student Bar a functioning body The
elected officers, comprising the Executive Committee, met and selected the heads of the seven sections of the Association
These section heads in turn began work in their respective activities, such as establishing the Moot Court, contacting
future law students and making plans for further outside activities by the law students.

Thus, the Student Bar Association was organized to bring new harmonv to the student body, to increase interest in
law school affairs, and to raise the standards of the law school generally. The Association is yet too young for just
criticism, but it is old enough to have already shown that Yancey's idea is now that of the whole Law student body.
'. . .in order to form a more perfect union; to foster legal science; to maintain the honor and dignity of the le^al
profession among law students; to cultivate professional ethics and social intercourse. . . do. . . ordain and establish
this . . . Wake Forest Student Bar Association."

For one hundred and seven years now the students at Wake Forest
have been governed by the ringing of a bell. From dormitories,
fraternity houses and private homes comes the trickle of students,
making their ways to a society meeting, to Sunday school classes, to
classroom sessions, to sporting events, to any number of a host of
things — all commanded by the ringing of a bell. Out of the late
evening night comes the sound of the same bell — an athletic victory,
another moment of celebration for enthusiastic backers of the Demon
Deacons. In other words, the student's life centers around a calendar
of daily and weekly events. He makes his appointment because the
bell warned him ; he rushes toward the fraternity house — the seven-
thirty bell has sounded ; meeting time on Monday night. Though he
seldom stops to think of it, the student lives by a bell, a tone that wafts
far across a campus and college village, bearing the signal for action
in multifold activities.

FRESHMAN WEEK

The Freshman Advisory Council has had placed
upon its shoulders one of the most intricate jobs
on the campus, that of orienting the uncomfort-
able, green freshman who strolls over his new
domains . . . homesick, melancholy, and entirely
unacquainted with the new environment with
which he has decided to associate himself. It is a
tedious position the Council holds, for the slight-
est slip, the smallest offense, intended or not,
might send home forever the fresh newcomer.

To make the frosh feel perfectly at home occu-
pies the first week of the ( louneil's work. Its first
action is to have the freshmen meet personally
with the faculty and to present parties and socials
in order that the upperelassmen may have a
chance to meet the new men. Lectures of the
faculty are sponsored to acquaint the newcomers
with the rules, policies, customs, and traditions.

Freshmen James Dozier and Walt Griffin received a cordial greeting from Pro- New Church pastor Eugene olive and Mrs. Olive were
lessor Jasper Memory and Dr. E. E. Folk. Professor Memory is known for his ability present to meet the freshmen. Following the reception the
to remember names, and Dozier for his efficiency in "chewing the rag" at any lime. Olives were introduced to upper class men and the faculty.

5HMAN FACULTY ADVISERS CONFERRED INDIVIDUALLY WITH EACH MAN DURING REGISTRATION TO AID HIM IN MAKING SCHEDULE.

Last September orientation began officially when blue-
eyed Ralph Brumet, chairman of the Freshman Advisory
Council, seriously raised his hand and called for order.

Three hundred slightly bewildered freshmen, badges on lapel, handbooks in hand,
learn "Here's to Wake Forest." Front row, mouth-open melody-makers are, left

FRATERNITY RUSHING

BROTHERHOODS FOUGHT FOR CREAM OF THE NEW MEN

The freshmen were not freshmen. They were lords. Every

fraternity man bowed to their wishes, at any rate. It was during
Rush Week that all this happened, during that period when frat-
ernities scouted for possible pledges.

For the members of Wake Forest's eight soeial brotherhoods —
each one was "the best" during Rush Week — this was a period of
hard, carefully-planned work. But for the freshmen it was a time
of carefree enjoyment — at the fraternity expense.

There were hearty meals, picnics, open houses, "bull sessions"-
and anything else which might keep the freshmen entertained.

Always there were imposing tours of the fraternity houses.
Freshmen saw fraternity accomplishments through the medium of
stuffed scrapbooks and shining trophies ami loving cups. They
saw the newly-decorated chapter room with a large combination
radio-phonograph, the individual rooms with picture-plastered
walls, the attic with the best ping-pong table on the campus.

In "bull sessions" football-playing fraternity men impressed
the freshmen with accounts of how the Carolina game was won,

K A's again, this time with coats donned, con-
tinue their Rush Week program on the floor, in
a general bull session, extolling their fraternity.

Pi Kappa Alphas ami possible pledges, spaced be-
tween members, suck cigars and listen to an after-
dinner speech in this three-fork Rush Week feast.

Dr. Nevill Isbell, modest, genial professor of
chemistry, is faculty adviser to the Kappa
Alphas. Here he speaks to interested freshmen.

Outstanding campus leaders often aid fraternities in rushing fresh- Beaming with fraternal cordiality. Lambda ( hi Alphas, Jim Early,
men, Tony Gallovich, belettered football ace, tells smoking Sigma Phi center, and Tom Jones, right, tell Rushee Doc Bain good-night. They

Epsilon guests how Wake Forest won the Carolina game by twelve points. mean it when they say they hope hehkes8immons Dorm fraternity house.

■

and why the Duke game was not won. They could hardly see the
rushees, for the room was filled with omnipresent cigar smoke.

When the topic of conversation became more serious the fresh-
men learned the advantages of fraternity life not already brought
out — the opportunities for friendship afforded, the experience in
cooperative living, the encouragement of scholarship and char-
acter-building, the advancement of loyalty, determination and
courage.

As Rush Week drew to a close, opinions had been formed by both
fraternity men and rushees. The fraternity man had decided
upon the freshmen most like members of his fraternity. And the
freshmen determined which fraternity they would like to become
affiliated with.

Climaxing the period came a twenty-two hour session of silence
during which fraternity men could not approach the freshmen.
Then freshmen went to the Dean's office and wrote down their
three choices of fraternities, in descending order. The dean
looked at the lists submitted by fraternities, and if the freshmen
had received bids, they ceased to become rushees. They were
pledges.

Rush Week had its effect. A total of seventy-nine freshmen
pledged fraternities, exactly the same number as in 1939. Pi
Kappa Alpha led with a total of sixteen pledges. Following in
order were Kappa Sigma, Kappa Alpha, Alpha Kappa Pi, Lambda
Chi Alpha, Delta Sigma Phi, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Sigma Pi.

Kappa Sigmas and their rushed freshman guests, all dressed rather
rustically, picnic in the night, eating marshmallows, roasted over
a smouldering tire, pulling them from gnarled little branches.

Pepsi-Cola hits the spot for these fueling freshmen during a Delta
Sigma Phi Rush Week party. Candy and smokes also play an outstand-
ing part in these affairs, all important in the starting of college friendships.

Debonairly-dressed Norvell Ashburn leads this group of squatting
Kappa Sigmas and rushees in a friendly little game of cards. Kibitzers
stand watching the play, and the eternal Rush Week cigars are present.

Rush Week is over and on Pledge Night interested freshmen go to the
Dean's office for fraternity registration, write their first three choices of
brotherhoods on paper slips, according to the way they wish to join.

Joe Evans takes his registration card to Dean Bryan, who looks to see
if Joe has received a fraternity bid from Choice One. Joe has, and now,
after a whirlwind week of activity, he becomes a pledge to Kappa Sigma.

1941 JIVE FEATURED AT DANCES

2 are caught at the Pledge Dance m the
jme date modestly bends her head, smiles.

It can never be said that Wake Foresters don't go
in for informal social life, for we have here all forms
of rug cutters, jitterbugs, jivers, fox trotters, and mis-
cellaneous rhythm hounds. It cannot be doubted
that we possess all the qualifications for beating it
nut . . . even "'eight to the bar."

October 26 began this year's list of informal frolics
which were strung out over the two semesters, with
the annual Pledge Dance in honor of the new frater-
nity men. Held in the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium
following the Homecoming Day football game between
Duke University and Wake Forest, the entertain-
ment attracted fraternity and non-fraternity men,
alumni, visitors and dates. Bill Vanden Dries and
his orchestra furnished his usual outstanding music.

Following close on the heels of the pledge affair was
the first Junior-Senior Ball presented at tin' Woman's
('lull in Raleigh on November 8. Here a host of
students, their dates, and their friends gathered for
their imitation of Fred Astaire and (linger Rogers,
again to music in t he Vanden Dries manner. However,
on this occasion, the Romeos and their fair Juliets
were forced to take back seats anil yield the spotlight
to the Dracn jitterbugs. In this 'group Billy Hood
stepped out to take top honors, while an enthusiastic
crowd gathered around to watch his unique "jit >tep^."
Highlighted by the first intermission rloo" show
ever to feature a Wake Forest dance, the annual
Frosh-Snph Hop mi December (i was the most com-
plete informal frolic to take place during the year.
Again Vanden 1 hies ami the rest of his Wake Forest

PEP MEETINGS

PRE-GAME PEP RALLIES PRECEDED
SATURDAY AFTERNOON GAMES

It is fall ; it is football time. And football time is pep-
meeting time. Straining cheer leaders and yelling
students, blazing bonfires and blaring bands, waving
shirt-tails and twisting parades — for Wake Forest must
win that game

All of this happened last fall, from September to
November, when Wake Forest students gathered in
meetings designed to add support to the college foot-
ball team.

Pep-n tings were led by a staff of seven competent

cheer leaders. T. I. "Boredface" Davis was chief of the
group and he was assisted by Hob Craig, .lack Green,
Bud Grice, Selma Ann Harris, Frank Kincheloe, and
John Nance.

Under these leaders two "firsts" were instituted.
< )ne of them was petite Selma Ann Harris. In addition
to being one of Wake Forest's few co-eds, Selma Ann
was the initial girl cheer leader in the history of the

Then, too, for the first time Wake Forest pep-meet-
ings were broadcast. Arrangements were made with
Raleigh's Station WRAL to send five rallies over the
air. These were financed by student contributions and
presided over by J. B. Clark, who did his job well in
spite of good-natured shouts of "What's the score?"

Biggest of these pep-meetings was the broadcast rally
preceding the game with the University of North
Carolina. One thousand students, faculty members
and band men assembled in (lore Gymnasium for
the event. At first the students only murmured;
then they yelled; then they went absolutely mad.
Professors and team members, talking between spurts
of spirited frenzy, prophesied the outcome of the game.

the Wake Forest Alumni Association, began the
dedication ceremony with a welcome to the re-
turning graduates of the institution and the
large number of visitors and friends. Then, one
of the history-making epochs in Wake Forest
annals occurred when Mr. Henry Groves,
prominent alumnus and textile executive of
Gastonia, presented to his alma mater a struc-
ture eagerly anticipated by students for years
and years. Mr. Groves emphasized the part
played by athletics in colleges throughout the
nation and concluded by summarizing the
efforts of Wake Forest to provide for its stu-
dents a well-rounded and efficiently-planned
athletic program.

Following Mr. Groves' hearty presentation
of the stadium, Governor J. M. Broughton,
alumnus and chairman of the Board of Trus-
tees, accepted the magnificent edifice. In his
address Governor Broughton reviewed the his-
tory of the progress of athletics at Wake
Forest.

Immediately following the bestowal and
acceptance of the new gift the combined
bands of Duke and Wake Forest played "The
Star Spangled Banner," as the Stars and
Stripes was raised above the press box.

It was probably then that friends of Wake
Forest realized fully just what had been do-
nated to the college. It was then that they
became cognizant of the unusual press box, the
field houses, the expansive field, the stands.
It was at the time of the raising of the flag
above the press box that the crowd saw it well
. . . its three stories, its radio booths, and its
space for newsreel photographers, its bar for
serving food and hot drinks to reporters and
guests.

The completion of the new stadium was the
termination of years of planning by college
officials and alumni. Situated among Carolina
pines in one of the most beautiful natural set-
tings in the South, it has a normal seating-
capacity of seventeen thousand. With an
excellent playing field and well-equipped field
houses, Groves Stadium, with its notable press
box believed to be the best in the South, is one
of the finest of its size in the nation.

Although the score was disappointing, the
Deacons had actually seen a victory for them-
selves. They had witnessed the realization of
a constant dream . . . the new Groves Stadium.

INSTALLATION CEREMONIES AT
INITIATION OF PHI BETA KAPPA

January 13, 1941, will always be remembered in Wake Forest
annals as a red letter day, for it was then that the college secured
a chapter of America's greatest scholastic fraternity, Phi Beta
Kappa, replacing the fifteen-year-old local organization, Golden
Bough.

Dean Marjorie H. Nicholson, national president of Phi
Beta Kappa, presided over the impressive ceremony held in the
Euzelian Literary Society Hall. Following the actual presenta-
tion of the charter to Dr. X. C. Giddings was the initiation into

Eight faculty members who already belonged to the fraternity
became the charter members. Prof. C. P. West was elected
president, Dr. Samuel Fielden, vice president, Dr. Giddings,
secretary-treasurer. The others are Drs. J. H. Gorrell, Wilson
Fleming, Frederick Taylor, William Allen, and Hubert Poteat.

Phi Beta Kappa was founded in 1776 at William and Mary
and for over one hundred and fifty years has awarded gold
keys for scholarship, character, and extra curricular diligence.
The upper twenty per cent of men who have completed seven
semesters of work towards a Batchelor of Arts or Batchelor
of Science degree are considered eligible for membership. Ten
per cent or less of this group are chosen. This spring the
local chapter elected ten seniors who became the first Wake
Forest College men to become members of the Delta Chapter.

THE "DOCTOR'S" LIFE IN-
SIDE THE MEDICAL SCHOOL

When one enters the medical school, he is at the end
of one life and the beginning of another. Although
students are inclined to believe that a course in
medicine is primarily a "stiff" one, the medicos never-
theless find time for recreation and extra-curricular
activities. ( lutsiders usually gather the impression
that students in medical school become virtual slaves,
pore over scientific textbooks and journals, and study
far into every night. This is a wrong conception, for,
although it is true that the aspiring young doctors do
expend much time and energy in pursuing technical
investigations, they do have leisure moments. Tour-
ing through the medical school, one would discover
groups of men in white, smoking and engaging in con-
versation somewhat irrelevant to that heard in the
classroom, though drifting now and then to more
personal phases of their chosen channels of study.

To the student anticipating the study of medicine
anatomy seems to be the forthcoming fear Having
heard often of the weird tales emanating from the
operating tables in anatomy laboratory, the pre-
medical novices enter the school of medicine with a
foreboding of horror. Dr. H. M. Vann, called "The
Major'' by his classes, presides over the anatomy
specimens. The first year students dread the humilia-
tion of not being able to take it. A strong stomach
and an observing eye are two of the requirements of
one going into medicine, and after a few days in the
laboratory, the medical students become accustomed
to the procedure and take it as nonchalantly as the
academic school enrollees when they examine the cray-
fish and earthworm in biology.

The first-year students investigate and examine all
phases of physical activity, while the second-year men
desert the anatomy lab for comprehensive studies in
bacteriology and pathology. In the latter part of
their second session as medical men, they begin to
participate in clinics held in Raleigh at various hospi-
tals and the state prison. Throughout the year the
first year medical students attend meetings of clinical
associations all over the state of North Carolina.

FIRST YEAR STUDENTS GET A "STIFF" INITIATION INTO THEIR PROFESSIONAL STUDY. WHOLE OF FIRST SEMESTER IS SPENT OVER "STIFFS.

Jim Cochran, John Freeman, Les Morris and
Kenneth Tyner examine a specimen used in

HELL WEEK

Many a freshman on the Wake Forest campus longs for
the time when he can stick out his chest and boast with re-
lief that he has taken his "Hell Week." To him this means
that he is no longer a lowly pledge but a full-fledged member
. . . with no more on his shoulders the menial tasks of the fra-
ternity house. Forever are gone the pains of shining shoes,
eating "square meals," being brought before rat courts, and
entering front doors backwards.

"Hell Week" is something many take, few forget. In this
preinitiation period when the pledge is given the final test of
being the sort of man his fraternity wishes to call "Brother,"
the neophyte is charged to fulfill certain assignments given
to him by the pledge-master of his lodge. Such demands
may include aiding in the cleaning of the fraternity quarters,
several nightly assignments, quizzes or examinations on the
history of the fraternity, and appearance before the members
at pledge courts.

No assignment given during the week is too difficult or at all
dangerous. The initiate merely has to complete certain
duties which require time, mental discipline, persistence,
and the desire to meet the set demands of his organization.
In reality "Hell Week" may be defined as a sensible test of
a man's ability to carry out orders and to cooperate with his
fellow men.

The night assignments are the real trials of the efficiency,
courage, and endurance of a man. They may include meas-
uring the height of the Neuse River bridge, counting the
window panes of school buildings in nearby towns, obtaining
inscriptions on tombstones, tying strings around the trees
on the campus, and counting railroad ties between two points.
The most dreaded part of "Hell Week" is being "lost." On
this occasion the pledge may be blindfolded and taken
several miles out of town, great care being made to ascertain
the initiate's not knowing in what direction he is being
carried. He is then left in some desolate place with instruc-
tions to find his way back to Wake Forest, without asking
the way of anyone. While the pledge is out, the members
are constantly checking on his safety.

It is not the idea of the fraternities to torment or harm the
aspiring brother, but rather to test him. Xo contestant is
permitted to be absent from his classes or to go to a class
meeting without preparing his studies for the next day.

Bagley Gillingham holds a flashlight for Freddy Welch, who is reading
from a mammoth volume, in a secret Kappa Sigma ceremony held in the
woods shortly before the pledges were given their first assignments.

A freshman pledge walks eight miles out the Durham road to the Neuse
River. There he takes a six-inch ruler from his pocket and measures the
width, length, and height of the sides of the bridge, and then walks home.

In this Hell Week stunt Lambda Chi Alphas securely tape the eyes of
a pledge and carry him to a desolate Negro church in the country. The
pledge, seated on the rostrum before a Bible, is to rind his way home again.

Ed McManus, Kappa Sigma pledge, after plodding to the Neuse River,
is required to chalk his name on every plank on the bridge. It took Ed
over two hours to finish this, altogether the freshman wrote 599 names.

Hell Week was filled with three hellish nights for Alpha Kappa Pi pledge,
Cotton Morris, who kept his clothes on, pulled a light blanket over his
tired body and tried to sleep atop the shiny but hard desk in his room.

Morris slept on his desk, but these Alpha Kappa Pi pledges were even
less fortunate. Hell Week for them meant nights on the floor, and they
found that, although the rug was soft, it did not compare to a mattress.

During Hell Week pledges must feed each other. Here they are Bob
White and Gerald Wallace, both Delta Sigma Phis. Active member Jarvis
Ward looks on to make sure that both are well-fed according to rules.

These Sigma Pi pledges try to look happy, but it probably is only a
sham, for, on the floor are twenty-five pairs of shoes which they must
shine — everything from dirty saddle shoes to black patent leather jobs.

MID-WINTER DANCES
I0P SOCIAL EVENT
DURING 1940-1941

Crackling shirt fronts and rustling taffeta, mad
whirling and swaying to the sweet rhythm of Jack Tea-
garden's orchestra ushered to the Wake Forest campus
the Mid-Winter Dances of 1941. Set in the beautiful
Raleigh Memorial Auditorium, the series of dances
attracted a recordbreaking crowd of over fourteen
hundred people.

The affair, officially opened on Friday night, Feb-
ruary 14, was climaxed on Saturday evening with the
formal event of the weekend. After intermission on the
last night the spotlight was centered on the stage, and
the dancers witnessed the supreme occasion of the ball,
the coronation of the first Queen of the Mid-Winters.
Mr. Thad Eure, Secretary of State, stepped to the plat-
form and crowned Miss Betty Hunt, charming sponsor
of Lambda Chi Alpha.

Following the informal dance on Friday night the
swingsters gathered on Saturday afternoon in the
auditorium for the annual tea dance of the series.

Saturday evening, after the coronation, the Pan-
Hellenic Council members, amid a scene colored by
white ties, bout outliers, tails, flowers, and gorgeous
gowns, performed with their partners the Grand March,
led by Miss Martha Brown and Marshall Durham.

MONOGRAM CLUB DANCE BROUGHT DANCES TO WAKE FOREST

Smashing an age-old precedent, President Franklin Roosevelt
won a third term. Then breaking another seemingly-set tradi-
tion the Wake Forest Deacons turned full power on the Uni-
versity of Ninth ( 'arolina Tarheels and beat the tar out of them.

Hut one of the biggest upsets came when the Monogram Club
accomplished two things: (1) had the first dance in the city of
Wake finest; (2) made this dance one of the year's most
successful .

It was at 8 o'clock that the Monogram entertainment began,
and 555 of Wake Forest's 1,080 students were on hand. They
danced to the melodies of Johnny Satterfield's orchestra in the
high school gymnasium, festively decorated with 2,400 feet of

gold and black crepe paper. Basketball backboards covered
with athletic apparatus set the theme for the letter-men's dance.
And high over the heads of the frolickers floated gayly-colored
balloons.

Chief feature of the evening was the picking of "the most
all-round girl on the floor." Co-ed Josephine Holding won the
title, and Monogrammers presented her with a beautiful gold
loving cup.

But Co-ed Holding was not the only spotlighted personality
of the Monogram Club dance. Marshall George, 280 pound
football tackle, as America's only songwriting athlete, came in
for his share of honors when he sang two of his own compositions.

STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER INVADES
WAKE FOREST LAW SCHOOL

The activities of the law school have been termed by one of
itsstudents as "sporadic," and there isagreat deal of truth in
the expression. Often one can go through the law building
and find the place a most deserted; then again he might find
it thronged with prospective lawyers. Somet mes the law
students stay in the typing room or in the classrooms or library
until the wee hours of the morning, doing work ahead or
catching up on back assignments. Should a ball game or a
concert or a movie seem interesting, the students drop every-
thing and go out for an afternoon or evening of entertainment.
Then back again they go to settle down to Real Property,
Torts, or Domestic Relations.

The library is more or less the center of the law school.
Here the young lawyers convocate, do their assignments, read
legal journals, chat with Miss Valeria Fuller, the assistant
librarian, or talk with friends if there is no one else around to
be disturbed. Should one of the law students be wanted by

someone else on the campus, or should some important
message come for one of the enrollees, the library is the first
place to go. It is interesting to note that it is more nearly full
shortly before dinner and until four in the afternoon when
Miss Fuller is on hand.

The barristers also can be observed in the halls, offices, and
classrooms, talking with the professors. This is not the tradi-
tional "legging"; the law students and the faculty are as one
big family. The teachers are all anxious to be on a brother-
hood relationship with those taking the legal courses.

The case system is the method of study used by the Wake
Forest Law School. Actual cases are read, studied, briefed,
and presented in class by the students. Amusing is the use
made of carbons. Interesting anecdotes concerning these
carbons are spread about, such as that of the student who
borrowed a carbon, failed to read it, and was embarrassed
when he came across an indiscreet expression which the
original writer had inserted to be funny.

This year marked the organization of the Wake Forest Bar
Association, which soon adopted a new plan for the Moot
Court, that of dealing with cases actually with matters arising
on the campus. The purpose of the group was "to foster legal
science, to maintain the honor and dignity of the law profes-
sion among law schools . . . and to promote the welfare of the
Law School of Wake Forest College and the students therein."

STUDFNTS SOON LEARN THAT GOOD GRADES REQUIRE ALL WORK AND LITTLE PLAY AFTER GRADUATION ITS ALL WORK AND LITTLE PAY.

BETTY HUNT CHOSEN AS FIRST QUEEN IF DANCES

QUEEN OF THE MID-WINTERS
CROWNED DY THAD EURE

CORONATION HELD SHORTLY AFTER
INTERMISSION AT SATORDAY DANCE

Nineteen hundred forty-one Mid -Winters
brought forth a new inonvation to add further to

the enjoyment of the occasion. Shortly after inter-
mission on the final night of the ball, the dancers
took their seats, the lights were dimmed, and the
spotlight was centered on the small stage in front
of the handstand. Mr. Thad Eure, Secretary of
State, then stepped to the rostrum, announced
the First Lady of the Mid-winters, and crowned
Miss Betty Hunt, sponsor of Lambda Chi Alpha
and escort of Bill Holding.

• •ut of a group of sponsors chosen by the in-
dividual fraternities Miss Hunt had been chosen
by judges Mrs. \V. A. Daniel and J. A. Detweiier
nf Daniel and Smith Studios in Raleigh, and Dr.
E. S. King of the Wake Forest Medical School
faculty. She had the honor of being the first
woman ever to be crowned queen of any dance o:
of dancers in the South.

Miss Hunt could well assu her coronation

honor, when she considers the expression of Mr. Eure and the
manager of the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium, where the
i lances were held, that this year's Mid-winter Dances were the
most orderly college affairs ever held in Raleigh.

Miss Hunt was chosen from a group of eleven candidates
representing the eleven social fraternities on the campus. On
Friday night, shortly before intermission, the sponsors for
each fraternity were introduced to the dancers. President of

The queen was chosen by the judges on the bases of beauty,
personality, poise, dignity, posture, and photogenic appeal.
Miss Hunt was termed by the judges as almost perfect in
every qualification, but their choice was extremely difficult
since there were other candidates who were equally as charm-
ing as Miss Hunt, but whose selection was very popular.

When the typical student has succeeded in getting well into his
sophomore year, he begins to look around him for shelter in some part
of the college other than dormitories. Sooner or later he learns that
more than passing grades are probably his best bet for a favorable
retreat. Subsequently, he sets about to put size and shape to his
curriculum for succeeding semesters.

For the student who makes good in certain fields there is a part of
the college designed for his ilk. Whether he be of scientific ambitions,
linguistic inclinations, or professorial tendencies, he may be drafted
into an honorary organization, suited for his needs in undergraduate
fellowship. In a measure he has been rewarded, but the sincere
student soon forgets what honor he might have found in being joined
to an honorary fraternity or society. He soon realizes that his very
brothers are the men he will have to work for, against, and with during
the days of his professional career. Hence his union with other men
of his own likes and dislikes finds for him a position in which he is
always the beneficiary. The world without will give him comfort and
competition, mixed with brotherhood and professional competition;
his new realm of ephemeral honor will carry with it an atmosphere of'
few compromises which he will probably accept.

Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's greatest honorary scholastic fraternity, was founded in December, 1776, at the
College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, with three avowed principles . . . "Fraternity, Morality, and
Literature." Two years later a resolution was passed that membership not be confined to "collegians alone" and in
July 1779, was elected to membership the only person who was not a native of Virginia. This initiate, a graduate
of Yale, then proceeded to secure chapters for both Harvard and Yale and started Phi Beta Kappa on its way to a
national organization. For over one hundred and fifty years the fraternity has given oblong gold keys, on one side
of which are engraved the Greek letters for Phi Beta Kappa, and a hand pointing to three stars, signifying the principles
l<n u 1 j icH the organization stands; on the reverse side is the name of the member and the chapter, the year of initiation,
and "S.P., December 5, 177!)." These awards have been bestowed upon thousands of men who have displayed charac-
ter, scholarship, and extra-curricular diligence.

The Wake Forest Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the Delta of North Carolina, was installed on January 13, 1 941 . with
Dean Marjorie H. Nicholson the national president of the organization, presiding. Eight charter members associated
themselves with the local group, of which Prof. Carlton P. West is president. The other affiliates are Dr. Samuel
Fielden, vice president. Dr. N. C. Ciddings, secretary-treasurer, Dr. Hubert M. Poleat, Dr. J. H. Gorrell, Dr. William
Allen. Dr. William Fleming, and Dr. Frederick Taylor. In addition to these charter members, twenty foundation
members were taken in at the installation ceremony, men who have distinguished themselves in almost every field of
intellect and culture. These men, many of whom are members of the college faculty, are Dr. Henry Simmons, Dr.
U. A. Royster, Dr. A. C. Reid, Dr. Charles Lee Smith, Dr. G. W. Paschal, Dr. T.J. Simmons. Dr. T. H. Briggs, Dr.

That part of Wake Forest given over to leadership among students, faculty members, and alumni is symbolized by
Omicron Delta Kappa. It was founded in 1914 at Washington and Lee University. Throughout the history of its
growth and development, three purposes have been held fundamental: to recognize men who had shown during their
college careers predominant qualities of leadership; to select the most representative men in all phases of college life
to form an organization which would have a part in moulding of sentiment of the institution; and to bring together
members of the faculty and student body of individual institutions on grounds of mutual understanding.

Work in forensics, religion, publications and other activities is recognized by ODK on the Wake Forest campus.
The chapter here, Beta Alpha Circle, had twenty-five students and nine faculty members as charter members. In
succeeding semiannual elections the organization has sought to augment and recruit its membership lost by gradua-
tion with the leaders who have proved themselves capable, effective, and yet unassuming. Omicron Delta Kappa at
Wake Forest has realized that problems of a student body are felt more keenly by the leaders of various activities.
With a purpose of sincerity in mind, the group has worked, discussed, and suggested remedies pertaining to typical
problems, difficulties which face the students as groups and individuals. Since its installation here two years ago,
Omicron Delta Kappa has worked quietly yet effectively toward worthiness for the characteristics set forth for in-
dividual members.

Active faculty members in the Beta Alpha Circle are Professor Max Griffin, Faculty Secretary; Dr. L. Owens Rea,
Faculty Adviser; Dr. Thurman D. Kitchin, Dr. Hubert Poteat, Dr. Nevill Isbell, Dr. R. P. Morehead, Al Dowtin, Pro-
fessor Zon Robinson, Professor Henry Strope, Coach Tom Rogers, and Dr. Dale F. Stansbury.

ALPHA GAMMA CHAPTER

Established at Davidson College in igig

The Alpha Gamma of Gamma Sigma Epsilon was installed on The Wake Forest College Campus in 1926, and is
a direct descendant of the Lavoisier Chemical Society. The organization brings together a group of men interested
in chemistry and fosters a better spirit of cooperation and understanding between them.

Membership is based upon character, interest in chemistry, and scholarship; only juniors and seniors are eligible.
Meetings are held twice monthly, at which time members discuss outstanding and significant results of recent chemical
research work. Many notables have been brought to the campus on various chemical problems throughout the year.
These speeches are open to the entire student body in an effort to advance the interest of chemistry on the Wake Forest
Campus.

This year the local chapter was led by Paul Cheek, Grand Alchemist; J. T. Spencer, Adviser; John Nance, Re-
corder; and Miles Hudson, Keeper of the Cult. Faculty members serving in the interest of the fraternity arc Drs.
Charles Black, Xevill Isbell, and W.J. Wyatt.

Each year the organization awards a cup to the freshman of the preceding year who made the best record in
chemistry. A. W. Dunn of Leaksville, was this year's winner of the award. The local organization also published
each semester The Crystal, a chemical magazine, under the editorship of Frank Owen and Allen Powell.

DFITA KAPPA ALPHA

Established at Wake Forest College in ig$2

In 1932 the ministerial students of Wake Forest College joined in forming' an honorary fraternity for members of
their calling. They chose the name Delta Kappa Alpha &nd accepted as their purpose the furthering of fellowship
and spiritual life and the providing of the opportunity to study together for their mutual benefit.

With James Varner as president of the organization Delta Kappa Alpha during the past year has not deviated
from the noble objectives promulgated by the founders. Accepting twenty-five members from the junior and senior
classes, the fraternity has convened twice monthly to enjoy discussions from outside speakers, among whom were note-
worthy ministers from many parts of North Carolina. The organization has been capably advised by the college chap-
lain, the Rev. Mr. Eugene Olive, and the two heads of the religion department, Dr. O. T. Binkley and Dr. J. A. Easley.

Among the principal activities profitable to the Delta Kappa Alpha men were two banquets, one on March 8
and another in the early fall.

Three of the most notable outside speakers for the last year were Dr. Norfleet Gardner, pastor of the First Baptist
Church in Henderson, Dr. James Franklin, president of Crozier Seminary, and Dr. Norman Price of Meredith.

Aiding the president in the excellent work enacted this year among the young preachers were the vice-president,
Wilbur Lamm, the secretary, Bill Phillips, and the treasurer, Lansing Hicks.

♦

Gamma Nu Iota, honorary pre-mcdical fraternity established at Wake Forest College in 1937, is destined to be-
come more important than it has since its founding in the fall of 1937; the removal of the medical school to Winston-
Salem leaves only pre-medical work, and the absence of medical fraternities will encourage men to devote their interests
to the pre-medical organization.

The purpose of Gamma Nu Iota is to stimulate a greater interest in the medical field and to bring together men
who intend to become physicians. The members meet bi-monthly to discuss problems of common interest, to become
better acquainted with the progress that is being made in the field of medical science, and to hear lectures as presented
by outstanding doctors and college medical professors. This year's list of speakers included Dr. Felda Hightower,
surgeon at the State Prison, Dr. Mackie and Dr. Morehead of the medical faculty, and Professor Jasper L. Memory
of the academic school.

To stop and enumerate the lists of Sunday school classes, ministerial
associations, and other religious organizations on the Wake Forest
campus, would be to segregate the part of the institution that is
actually a thread of continual growth. However strict be the inter-
pretations of religion in life applied to student necessities by so-called
college authorities, the student at Wake Forest is given the oppor-
tunity to weigh and interpret for himself the many perplexing problems
always aligned with religion. Departmental advisers advocate no
rigid rules of convention, but always urge principle and example,
prescience over impulse. In other words there are few students in
any college or university who are not seriously concerned with re-
ligion's relation to life. If the student interprets from his own mental
data, possibilities are that he will come nearer a belief and not so much
an acceptance of documented concurrences. To facilitate the cultivation
of man's thought, Sunday school units, Baptist Training Union
branches, and religious gatherings of virtually every denomination
assembled at appointed times on the campus. This thread of life
and light connects for many the mysteries of body and soul. . . .

Serving as an "intermediary" between the student and the church, the Baptist Student Union has for seventeen
years been an integral part of Wake Forest College. More specifically, the council serves to acquaint and associate
the average student with the religious aspect of the college which is centered in the church. Its major work is accom-
plished through numerous organizations such as the Sunday School Classes, the Training Unions, the Ministerial
Conference, and the Mission Study group.

Under the leadership of John Elliott Calloway, the B.S.U. has made notable progress in several new lines this year.
In cooperation with the Pan-Hellenic Council and the faculty, the council instituted the "Religion-in-Life Group
Discussions" which were held in dormitories, rooming and fraternity houses once a month.

In addition, under the editorship of John McMillan, the B. S. U. issued a bimonthly religious newspaper named
The Deacon Beacon.

MINISTERIAL CONFERENCE

Wake Forest College was originally founded for the purpose of training Baptist ministers. The Ministerial Con-
ference, made up of the 110 ministerial students on the campus, now serves the same purpose. The Ministerial Con-
ference meets on Tuesday night every week, and the programs consist of speeches by the leading ministers of the college,
the state and the South. These speakers tell of the life and the work of a minister, and their instruction is practical
as well as inspirational.

Under the presidency of Bill Phillips for the first semester and James Potter the last semester, the Ministerial
Conference has proved this year to be very helpful to ministerial students. Paul Early, program chairman, has played
an active part in securing the speakers for the weekly meetings.

BAPTIST TRAINING UNION

"Training in Church Membership" is the motto under which the five Wake Forest Baptist Training Unions fly
their flag and sums up briefly the purpose of these groups. The five unions meet at 6:45 Sunday evening and devote
their time and attention to the study of membership in the church as the center of Christianity. Although not strictly
a Training Union in itself, the Taylor Forum conducted by John Freeman and Wyan Washburn is another group that
meets at the same time and is essentially similar. The Taylor Forum takes up discussions of current religious problems.
This year's presidents of the B.T.U.'s are: James Thomas of Poteat Union, Woody Hasty of Reid, Paul Kearns of
Howard and Howell Perry of Cullom.

SUNDAY SCHOOL OFFICERS

The six Sunday School classes are perhaps the most important part of the B.S.U. since there are approximately
200 students from Sunday to Sunday. Taught by members of the faculty, these classes serve a need which is beneficial
both to the faculty teachers and the attending students. The classes afford a quiet time for worship and spiritual
uplifting as well as a period of Bible study. Five of the classes are taught by the following facultv members: Prof. Paul
Berry, Dr. Daniel B. Bryan, Prof. J. G. Carroll, Dr. Thurman D. Kitchin and Dr. A. C. Reid. The sixth class is the
Law class. In these classes, which meet every Sunday morning at 9:50, an effort is made to foster active partici-
pation among the members of the classes.

A new experiment in the teaching system of Dr. Bryan's class was tried at the beginning of the school year and with
success. At the suggestion of Dr. Bryan, the class invited three other members of the faculty to teach the class on con-
secutive Sundays. Those invited were Dr. E. C. Cocke, Prof. M. Johnson Hagood and Prof. Carlton P. West.

Paul Early was elected in September to the position of Superintendent of the Sunday school classes in the absence
of Rufus Potts, who was unable to return to school because of military training. Jim Krahenbill is the General Secretary.

MISSION STUDY GROUP

One of the smallest but most worthwhile religious organizations on the campus is the Mission Study Group,
which, as the name indicates, is made up of students interested in the study of missions. Although it meets weekly on
Sunday afternoon at 2:00, the Mission Study Group does not, however, limit its activity to weekly programs on the
campus. One of its primary functions is personal service, and from time to time the members visit nearby jails, orphan-
ages and old ladies' homes in Raleigh and present programs at these places.

Bill Poole, as president this year, has kept the Mission Study Group a progressive organization. Numerous for-
eign missionaries have presented stirring addresses at the weekly programs. Last year a drive was sponsored by the
Mission Study Group to sell subscriptions of the Biblical Recorder, North Carolina Baptist journal, to students and towns-
people at Wake Forest. Poole reported successful results.

Few institutions designed to foster a development of the cultural
aspects of an individual can speak in terms of completeness without
having a department of music. A creditable per cent of the average
student body of any college has had training in some form of music
in years before college. A large majority of the remaining per cent
of students are capable of appreciating the talents and hard work of
those who seek to contribute to the musical program in any institu-
tion. At Wake Forest in recent years a big part of the school itself
has been given over to development of a music department. In ad-
dition to the college band, some seventy-five strong this year, and an
equally large glee club, regular classes in music courses have been
offered to students interested in musical mastery.

THE BAND

The Wake Forest College Band, beginning in September what
promised to be one of its most auspicious and successful seasons,
received early a severe shock when its director, Donald Pfohl,
died at an untimely age. Like its brother organization, the Glee
Club, the Band was forced to face these trying circumstances as
best it could, and like the Glee Club it has performed nobly and
well. The leadership of the band has been in the hands of Pat
Hester, Mr. Pfohl's assistant in 1939-40, and Dr. Nevill Isbell,
both of whom have worked admirably to carry on Mr. Pfohl's
magnificent work.

Throughout the football season, the Band was very active,
playing impressively at the ceremonies dedicating the new
Groves Stadium and reaching its climax in the performance at Dr. Nevill Isbell

the game in Washington with George Washington University. Director

Appearing in conjunction with the Glee Club, the Band rendered

a special program of Christmas music in the church auditorium immediately preceding the holidays-

GLEE CLUR

OCTET

Led temporarily by Dr. Hubert Poteat and later
placed under the direction of Dr. Frederick Stanley
Smith, the Glee Club has experienced one of the most
successful years since its founding. Several trips were
taken by the group, including a several-day itinerary to
Asheville and other points in western North Carolina,
where the Wake Forest songsters were acclaimed widely.
Some of the group's outstanding programs were two
concerts presented on the campus. The first, in col-
laboration with the band, was presented in the church
auditorium shortly before the Christmas holidays. The
final concert was given in April and was considered by-
many as one of the best performances the Glee Club
has ever put on.

The latest addition to the musical life of the college,
the Wake Forest Octet, organized only last year by
Donald Pfohl, had an exceptionally successful season in
1940-41. Its eight student members — Roger Bell, Bill
Baucom, Bill Ellington, Bill Hough, Pete Overby, Bill
Shields, Charles Talley, and Manley Tobey — with Em-
mett Davis as accompanist and director made several
trips to the key cities of the state, performing at ban-
quets of Wake Forest Alumni and at important church
services. On all occasions the Octet has met with great
popularity, and its services have been constantly in de-
mand. Throughout the school year it has shown itself
to be an integral part of musical activities on the cam-
pus.

Perhaps the first word a student entering college knows is "athletics."
Vigorous youth is naturally inclined toward manly competition, with
less accent on dexterity. You will find, however, that even the so-
called dignified senior is just as much a fan at athletic events as the
freshmen. Athletic events on the campus serve as a meeting place for
the melting pot elements of any institution. And it's not altogether
just another moment of relaxation : it is an occasion when you will see
men you work with and live among do their parts in bringing to the
campus a trophy, perhaps. With few exceptions all students take part
in athletics. There arc the intramural sports for the non-varsity men.
Athletic events are closely aligned with life everywhere : there are
exciting moments, dull moments, colorful personalities, obscure heroes,
and heated contests for superiority.

great Flaming Sophomore Team qj igjS
which this year closed exit its career
as a collegiate team. None of us will
ever forget Gallovich's long runs,
Mayberry's high spiraling punts,
Ringgold's path-clearing blinks.
Jett's ability to break down the offense
of the opponent, or the entire team's
willingness to fight for "Dear Ole
Wake forest." That team has none,
others might take its place on the
football field, but none will ever
take its place in our hearts.

But no team was ever any better

than its coaches. Our coaches were

of the highest caliber. Head Coach

D. C. "Peahead" Walker came to

Wake Forest in 1937 after many successful years at Elon College, and has continued his fine record since joining the coaching

staff. His work with the players has often been spoken of as unusually hard, but his men knew that their leader was

driving towards a championship team, and with their cooperation almost produced the desired results.

The team this year was captained by Jimmy Ringgold of Baltimore. Last year Captain Ringgold won the Mills Block-
ing Trophy as the outstanding blocker in The Southern Conference. If Gallovich ran fifty yards or Polanski hit the line
for ten yards, one would always find Ringgold ahead of them making the traveling easier for the runner. Truly a great
player, this year's captain will be missed next year.

This year's team was greatly hampered by the lack of reserves. The starting lineup had Waivers and Jett at ends,
Preston and Rubino at tackles, Givler and Kapriva at the guard posts and Pendergast at the pivot position. Pruitt, Ring-
gold, Polanski and Gallovich composed the backfield. Geer and Vanden Dries gave Waivers and Jett some relief;

Pivec, Geer, Pruitt, Preston, Polanski, Myer, Jett, Givler.

Pivec helped out as reserve tackle; Little Louis Trunzo proved valuable as relief at
guard, and Clark came in to replace Pendergast at times.

Ringgold played sixty minutes nearly every game. Welch came in to give GaUo-
vich a breathing spell, and "Workhorse" Edwards was invaluable as substitute for
Polanski. Pruitt, however, got little rest until late in the season when Red Mayberry
recovered from injuries.

"Red" Mayberry's broken arm sustained two weeks before the season opened was
a blow to Deacon rooters. Mayberry had performed brilliantly during the season of
1939 and was counted on to spark the Demon Deacons to victory. However, J. V.
Pruitt, sophomore back, stepped in and filled Mayberry's shoes neatly, performing
as a seasoned veteran. Pruitt's pass to Jett provided the first score against Carolina.

As the season rolled along, however, another Deacon back began to break into
the headlines with his ball carrying. He was Tony Gallovich, 1 70-pound tailback,
who came to be feared for his deadly reverses. While opposing teams set their de-
fense to stop "Jolting" John Polanski, Gallovich tore off for gains time and again.
The little "scat back" led the scoring for the Southern Conference and gained a
place on the All-Southern Conference team. Adding further to his prestige, Gallo-.
vich was invited to play in the annual Blue-Gray game in Montgomery, Ala. Tony
lived up to his advance notices by catching a pass and running twenty yards for one
of the Rebels' two touchdowns.

Another Deacon, John Jett, came to be respected by opposing teams for his bril-
liant defense work as well as for his pass catching. Jett proved to be good enough to
gain a place, alongside Gallovich, on the All-Southern Conference team.

So Demon Deacon supporters will say, "Hats off!" to the Flaming sophomores of
1938 who closed out their collegiate careers this year by pushing the name of Wake
Forest up among the leaders in the football world.

BASKETBHl

ON THE COUNT IN '41

With only two men returning from the 1940 team. Coach Murray Greason
had his work cut out for him in moulding; together his Deacon basketball
team.

Only Herb C'.line, the team's leading scorer of last year, and Captain
Yince Convery. little set-shot artist, remained to form the nucleus of the
team. However, Coach Greason teamed Jim Bonds, reserve from last vcar,
and sophomores Ev Berger and Hank Lougee with the two veterans to
start the season. Then, too, there was Carl Ray, who started late but soon
gained the reputation of being one of the fastest breaking players in Southern
Conference basketball. Chuck Fineberg, Harry Hutchins, Rod Buie, and
Bunk Jones formed a reserve squad that was ready to step in at a moment's
notice.

Wake Forest supporters, however, were not too optimistic over the chances
of the Deacons. Berger and Lougee had yet to taste varsity competition,
and Bonds had not been tried as a regular starter. For this reason rooters
waited for the season to start before making any predictions.

The Demon Deacons traveled all the way to Buffalo, New York, to open

their season and handed the Buffalo State Teachers College a 42-39 licking.

Back heme alter the Christmas holidays, the Deacs journeyed over to Durham to meet their archrivals, the Duke

Blue Devils, In the huge Duke gymnasium, the Deacons gathered a big half-time lead, and with Lougee holding

Bill Mock, Duke star, to two points, racked up a 39-36 victory.

Next on the card for the Wake Forest Five was the North Carolina Tar Heels — George Glar
mack proved too much for the Deacons and with 32 points led the way to a 61-45 wm-

The Deacons jumped back into their winning stride again by downing Clemson 42-35, The
N. C. State, with Cline leading the way, 50-40.

Those cocky Tar Heels came to Deacontown again to try to repeat their early season victory. Thirty-five hundred
fans packed Gore Gymnasium, expecting to see a thriller — and they did. With Cline holding '•Gorgeous" George
Glamack to six points in the first half, the Deacons held their own. Even when Cline fouled out early in the third
quarter, Carl Ray kept the Deacs in the ball game with his fast-breaking shots. In the end. however, a long shot by
Howard and a foul shot by Pisar sent the Deacons down 43-40.

Again the Deacons went North, travel-

winning over Loyola 53-41, and losing

Back home Wake Forest ran into a bad
slump. With a chance to make two
straight wins over Duke, the Deacons
threw away opportunity after opportu-
nity, but managed to tie the game up
when Captain Convery sank a long shot
in the closing seconds of the game. The
extra period proved the Deacons' down-
fall, as Shokes sank a field goal to give
victory to the Blue Devils, 42-41 .

Against the Wolfpack of N. G. State it
was the same story. The Deacons were
simply "off" and lost, 40-37.

Off through South Carolina Wake For-
est won over Furman, 59-51 and the
University of South Carolina, 36-35, but
lost a close one to the Clemson Tigers, 54-
53-

Needing only one victory to win a
berth in the Southern Conference Basket-
ball Tournament, the Deacs came back
"to do or die." The air was tense as they
lined up against South Carolina in Gore
Gymnasium. But the first few minutes
told the story. The Deacons were "hot"
and ran up a 12-0 lead before the Game-
cocks could sink a basket. Cline, Convery,
and Bonds led the Deacons to a 58-43
win.

Wake Forest closed out its season by
losing a tough one to Virginia Military-
Institute, 43-42.

Pitted against William and Mary in the
Southern Conference in Raleigh, the Dea-
cons were the victims of tournament "jit-
ters." Though the team held its own
during the first half, the Indians pulled
away in the last for a 52-34 victory.

While not having such an impressive
won and lost record, the Deacons were an
interesting team to watch. When they
had their good night, they were really
good, and when an occasional "off" night
came up, they looked pretty bad.

As for the team individually — Lougee
and Berger did come through, though
neither were high-scoring guards. Bonds
played hustling, heads-up basketball and

were steady throughout, and Ray prosed to be
a tonic to a Deacon five which let down in
mid-season.

Throughout the season Coach Greason's
quintet was a nightmare to any Southern Con-
ference team. Whether in victory or in defeat
the Deacon five always played a fast, smart,
hard fought game. The team reached its peak
during the middle of the season and dropped
into a slump around the last season, but regard-
less of its success the players were constantly
hustling in an effort to bring victory to "Dear
Ole Wake Forest."

Coach Phil Utley's freshman basketball team, even
though its record was not so impressing, presented a
closely-knit smoothly-working quintet. Promising in pre-
season scrimmages with the varsity, the Baby Deacs
started the season off by defeating Durham High School
45-39 and breaking the latter's 72-game winning streak.

The Deaclets kept up their winning ways by defeating
Wilson High 68 to 40. However, the Blue Imps of Duke
put a stop to the winning habits of the Wake Forest
frosh and gave them their first defeat by a score of 6q to
46.

Thereafter followed two victories over Raleigh High,
one each over Camp Bragg and Charlotte High and a
48 to 47 thriller over State in which Hawes sank a foul
shot with the score tied and less than thirty seconds to
play.

Probably the most heart-breaking defeat the Deaclets
suffered was a 38-37 setback by the Carolina frosh.
Trailing by fifteen points at the half, Dowtin and Koteski
led the Deaclets in a last half drive which fell one point
short of victory.

The first string, composed of Jack Smith and Ray
Koteski, forwards, George Hawes and Joe Hinerman,
guards, and Jim Dowtin showed speed, ball handling
and accurate shooting. In contrast to having one con-
sistent leading scorer, each member of the quintet got his share of points

Immediately after the close of the basketball season, Coach Greason
called his men out to baseball practice. With eight men returning
from the 1940 Big Five Co-Champions, prospects looked bright for a
successful campaign.

After two weeks' practice there was little doubt as to what the start-
ing line-up would be. Bob Reid, long distance hitter, returned to his
first base job; John Fletcher, veteran, teamed with Tony Gallovich to
make up the keystone combination. Captain Dick Hoyle moved over
from shortstop to handle the third base duties.

Coach Greason again returned to his policy of switching his out-
fielders against opposing pitchers. Against right-handed pitchers
Vivian was in left field. Polanski in center, and Edwards in right.
Against southpaw hurling, it was Primm, Polanski, and Eason pa-
trolling the outgardens. Ray Everly and Tony Balionis divided the
catching duties. This combination offered plenty of power and gave
a good defensive unit. Hoyle, Reid, Gallovich, Eason, and Edwards
might at any time hit one out of the park. Fletcher proved to be a
good lead-off man, as well as a valuable cog in making double plays.

The pitching offered Coach Greason a problem. Carl Ray, who
was ineligible last year, was counted on to head the hurling corps.
Jess Tharnish and "Lefty" Vivian were the only veterans returning.
Falkinburg, Conley, and Sparrow, freshmen pitchers of last year,
though lacking experience, showed promise of developing and giving
valuable aid.

Opening the season with an impressive victory over the McEwen
Mills of Burlington, the Deacons jumped into the lead in the Southern Conference with wins over Washington and Lee
and William and Mary.

■ Campbell.

Under the guidance of Coach "Bub" Walker and Assistant Coaches Mirabito and Williams, the freshman base-
ball team gave promise of becoming the strongest nine since the 1939 state champion frosh squad.

An excellent pitching staff, a hard hitting outfield, and a good infield were the chief assets of the freshmen. The
frosh were well stocked in pitchers, having five starting hurlers. Rudy Sloan, "Rip" Ripple, Jack Smith, Jake Pierce,
and Howard Auman were the "big five" of the pitching staff, all proving early their ability on the mound. Buddy
Murray handled the catching duties satisfactorily.

Charlie Cole, John Cochran, Dan Primm, and Clyde Whitener composed a fast, heavy hitting outfield which
spelled trouble for opposing pitchers.

In Bob Jordan, third baseman, and firstsacker Joe Scheldt, the frosh possessed two of the best players in the state.
However, the keystone combination proved to be a little unsettled. Smidt, Morris. Starnes, and Harrison alternated
in filling the second-base and shortstop places.

Several members of the freshman team are expected to prove valuable to next year's varsity. In the outfield

Cole and Cochran, if they continue their fine,
play, stand a chance of breaking into next
year's varsity lineup. Jordan and Scheldt
are the best bets among the infielders. How-
ever, the pili hers are expected to prove most
valuable to the 1942 varsity. Ripple and
Smith, lefthanders, should be better and less
wild, while Sloan, Auman, and Pierce, fast-
ball pitchers, should improve with a year's
experience behind them.

Next year the varsity squad will be with-
out the services of Dick Hoyle at third base,
Fred Eason in right field, Tony Gallovich at
shortstop, Tony Balionis in the catcher's posi-
tion and Carl Ray on the mound. In these
positions will go the stars of this year's fresh-
man team, and Coach Greason's problem
next year will not be the lack of material, but
an over-abundance of capable players who

TRACK TEAM

Overshadowed by some of the major sports — football, basketball,
and baseball — track nevertheless holds the attention of many Wake
Forest students as a prominent phase of athletics from the beginning
of spring to the end of the college year. In 1941 the track team had
an average year, participating in a number of meets in many sections
(it the country. Members of the Deacon cinder squad were given
numerous opportunities to display the agility which they had acquired
after diligent practice on Gore Field.

The first part of the season was given over to a series of indoor meets
with other colleges, including The Maryland Fifth Regiment Games in
Baltimore and at Catholic University in Washington. D. C. In late
February Wake Forest entered a four-man team in the Southern
Conference Indoor Games at the University of North Carolina.

In April and in May the track team took part in outdoor meets

with the University of Richmond, Hampton Sydney, Newport News

Apprentice School. The College of William and Mary at Norfolk,

and Catholic University in a second match. In all of these encounters

the fleet-footed Deacons made the good showing characteristic of the

Wake Forest cindermen.

The 1941 roster included forty spikesters hopeful of becoming Deacon Iettermen. Outstanding on the varsity

were Art Ad. mis. who placed third in the two-mile event at Chapel Hill, Durant Bell, Paul Early, Elliott Galloway,

and Pat Preston. Preston was particularly proficient in throwing the javelin. The freshmen who showed promise

of greater things were Bob Craig, Frank Wallace, Al Sweel, John Yeattes, and Bob Lasater.

To Coach Phil Utley goes the credit for whipping into shape the runners, dashers, hurdlers, jumpers, and other
Olympians, and training them with untiring fidelity to the cause of promoting better athletics at Wake Forest. "Coach
Phil" has constantly striven to instill in the hearts of all students with whom he comes in contact qualities of
sportsmanship and fair play. Every Deacon student who takes any part in the program under his direction retains
an indelible, fond remembrance of his association with the likable coach.

Up until 1 92 1 the idea of social fraternity life for Wake Forest was
frowned upon by many college alumni and leaders. Today the frater-
nities at Wake Forest play a definite role in the college. Social life for
the institution centers around fraternity planning, with several dances
each year sponsored by the Pan-Hellenic Council and open to all
students. Principles of good sportsmanship and aims of high scholar-
ship are built upon from one year to the next by the fraternal organ-
izations. Over-estimated is the idea that the social life of the average
Greek letter organization gives vent to boisterous emotions alone. The
lodge leaders pride themselves on accomplishments in leadership,
scholarship, and athletic prowess, and the friendly rivalry between the
groups inspires betterment through competition.

PAN HELLENIC COUNCIL

J.he activities of this year's Pan-Hellenic Council began on the first day of
classes with the beginning of the fraternity rushing season and ended on May 7 with the election of officers
for next year.

Many new constructive programs were incorporated this year into the fraternity system by the Council.
It began by making plans For the intramural athletic campaigns for the year. The success of this program
was in part due to the work and cooperation of Physical Education Director Phil Utley and Rod Buie.

The Intramural Athletic Troph) was awarded on an athletic point basis. Sigma Phi Epsilon was the un-
disputed winner of this trophy by virtue of its championships in football and basketball, plus placing among
the top teams in the other sports, soft ball and ping-pong.

Working hand-in-hand with The Baptist Student Union Council, The Pan-Hellenic Council brought to our
campus The Religious Group Discussions at the fraternity houses once each month. The planning of the
programs was left to the religious council, with the social council encouraging the lodges to give active

participation in the discussions. Cue of the most interesting topics during the year was "The Christian
Student looks at Men and Women Relationships."

Another activity of (he Council during the year was the awarding of the Homecoming Day Decoration
Cup. This was awarded the Alpha Kappa Pi Fraternity for its original display welcoming the alumni
and friends back to the college for Homecoming Day.

Topping the social calendar for the year. The Pan-Hellenic Council sponsored The Midwinter Dances,
dining the week-end of February 14-1-,. Willi. Jack Teagarden and His Orchestra playing for the dances
held in the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium, the series included an informal dance held on Friday night from
nine until one o'clock, a tea dance Saturday afternoon from four until six o'clock, and a formal dance on
Saturday night from nine until twelve o'clock. The dances were attended by the largest crowd oi both
fraternity and non-fraternity men ever assembled on a Wake Forest dance floor.

This year's fraternity group was led by Marshall Durham of Alpha Kappa Pi, President; Ralph Earnhardt
of Sigma Phi Epsilon, Vice President; Charles Cheek of Kappa Alpha. Secretary: and Norvell Ashburn of
Kappa Sigma, Treasurer. I he ( louncil again had as its faculty adviser Dr. L. Owens Rea, a man who has
often been spoken of as "the father of national fraternities on the Wake Forest College Campus."

During the year, 1940-41, the Chi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Pi had listed on its fraternity
roll members from as far north as Connecticut and as far south as South Carolina. Upon
closer examination of the roll one finds the names of men who were very active on the Wake
Forest Campus during the school year. Heading the list were Marshall Durham, President
of The Pan-Hellenic Council, and Jimmy Cross, chapter president, varsity catcher on the
baseball team and a member of The Freshman Advisory Council. Then, too, there were
Everette Berger. sophomore basketball ace, and Alden Kuhlthau, honor roll student and
manager of the varsity basketball team. In John Conley the A. K. Pi's had a man on the
baseball team. Conley pitched the school team to many victories despite the fact that this
was his first year on the squad. Headed by Drum Major Marshall Durham, the fraternity-
had more members in the college band than any other lodge. Then, too, the chapter won
the intramural Ping-Pong Championship. The team, led by Glenn Miller and John Conley
won easy victories over all its opponents.

On May 3 Alpha Kappa Pi gave its annual spring formal at The Virginia Dare Ballroom
of The Sir Walter Hotel in Raleigh. Throughout the year the chapter sponsored many social
affairs such as house parties, house dances, and smokers, but the spring formal was the climax
of the social affairs for the year.

THETA-TAU ZETA CHAPTER

LAMHIJA V,til ALVH/\

Founded at Boston University in igog

Theta-Tau Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha was organized as Theta Pi, a local fraternity
at Wake Forest College, in 1923. As soon as social fraternities were recognized on the
campus, Theta Pi petitioned and was granted a charter as the N. C. Beta of Theta Kappa
Nu. In the largest merger ever effected in the fraternity world the two nationals Lambda
Chi Alpha and Theta Kappa Nu combined in the summer of 1939. As a result of this
union the N. C. Beta of Theta Kappa Nu became the Theta-Tau Zeta of Lambda
Chi Alpha.

The members and pledges of Theta-Tau Zeta enjoyed many social parties and dances
throughout the year. At its initial dance the fraternity associates traveled over to
North Carolina State College in Raleigh to be the guests of the Gamma-L'psilon at a
dance given in honor of the rushces of both chapters. Other social parties included hay-
rides, the annual Christmas party, and house parties during the week-ends of the Pan-
Hellenic Council dances.

Members in the local chapter have figured actively in athletics, debating, music, and
campus politics. Bobby Goldberg, President of the Student Body, has been outstanding
in Forensic work and many campus activities. |Besides Goldberg, the Lambda Chi's
have the president of The Medical School Student Body in Frank Parrott. Business

This year the members and pledges of Pi Kappa Alpha were very active in campus
politics, social affairs and athletics. Throughout the year the Gamma Phi's sponsored
successful house parties during the Pan-Hellenic Council dances, and on April 11-12
gave its spring formals with Lambda Chi Alpha and Phi Chi Fraternities.

Chapter president Charles "Red" Mayberry served as vice-president of the student
body, and held down the quarterback position on the varsity football team. Jimmy
Ringgold capta'ned the football team, and was awarded the Mills Blocking Trophy
last year for his brilliant play on the field. Besides holding the office of president of
the Junior Class, George Watkins took many honors in the field of forensics.

The actual conception of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity took place at the Virginia
Military Institute shortly after the Civil War. Its six founders had served in the Con-
federate army together, and wished to perpetuate their friendship. On April 7, 1939,
the local chapter of Alpha Phi Omega became the Gamma Phi Chapter of Pi Kappa
Alpha. Since its origin as A. P.O. the fraternity has furthered a concentrated develop-
ment towards fostering the powerful fraternal spirit as set down by the founders of
both Alpha Phi Omega and Pi Kappa Alpha.

RHO COLONY

SIGMA PI

Established at Vincennes University in it

In 1938, largely because of the efforts of Dr. E. E. Folk and Prof. R. L. Gay, the Rho
Colony of Sigma Pi was installed at Wake Forest. Formerly known as a local fraternity
called Delta Sigma Chi, which was founded in 1937, the group petitioned the national
fraternity, feeling that their aims and ideals were similar.

Sigma Pi was founded at Vincennes University, Vincennes, Indiana, on February
26, 1897, by a .group of students who considered that college life was more than a mere
class attendance or persistent poring into books. These men felt the importance of
of the association of students with identical ambitions, ideals, and tastes. This does not
mean that the primary purpose of college was disregarded, for they emphasized high
scholarship and leadership.

Sigma Pi, one of the nation's oldest national fraternities, has progressed extensively
since its founding, and the Rho Colony of Wake Forest College has kept in pace with
the national organization.

The local chapter stepped out in front this year and. in conjunction w7ith Gamma
Eta Gamma, presented in the Crystal Ballroom of the Washington Duke Hotel the
first of the annual series of fraternity formals. Bill Vanden Dries and his orchestra
played for the festive swing.

mental aims of the law fraternity are to bring together those students who are interested
in the same profession and to foster those objectives which will better the future lawyers
and the legal profession as a whole.

One of the greatest occurrences ever to take place among local fraternities is the
National Witan of Gamma Eta Gamma, to which the Beta Gamma chapter will be
host next year. This convention, which is the first national one ever to have Wake
Forest as host, will be held October 23, 24, and 25 at the Sir Walter Hotel in Raleigh.
Over two hundred delegates from thirty-two chapters scattered over the United States
will be on hand. Some of the most prominent leaders campus are members of Gamma

President

Betty Gray Parker

An unusual circumstance attended the consolidation of the present national Phi Chi
fraternity in 1905. Sixteen years earlier, in 1889, at the University of Vermont, the
Eastern division of the fraternity had been organized by a group of medical men who
saw the need for a brotherhood of future medicos on the campus for the purpose of
furthering the relationships, both social and professional, among them. In 1894, at
the Louisville Medical College, the Southern division of the fraternity had been founded
by a similar group of students and for a similar purpose. The only step needed to be
taken for a really complete national organization was to unite the two sectional parts
into one compact group; this step was taken in 1905.

In 1935 the Tau Kappa Chapter of Phi Chi, named in honor of Dr. Thurman D.
Kitchin, was installed at Wake Forest. Its success here has been unquestioned, its
members having excelled in every phase of campus life. When it moves to its new-
home in Winston-Salem in the fall of 194.1, its participation in activities at Wake
Forest will be greatly missed.

CHI THETA CHAPTER

PHI RHO SIGMA

Established at Northwestern University in 187

In [924 .1 ni'H kind of fraternity was seen al Wake Forest as the Alpha Delta chapter
oi Chi Zeta Chi. medical Greek-letter organization, was founded by a group of students
who felt the need of a more compact brotherhood for future doctors on the campus.

Years of growth and progress followed the establishing of Chi Zeta Chi, and as a
result of the definite success of the local fraternity it became Chi Theta Chapter of Phi
Rho Sigma, national organization, on April 16, 1929. Since its inception the Deacon
Chapter has constantly sought to carry out the program of service presented by the
mother chapter, and it has become a distinct part of the social and professional life on
the campus.

Next year Phi Rho Sigma will move, along with the entire medical school, to Winston-

Fraternity Life

In the midst of the revelry which surrounds
fraternity life — ambitious smokers, amicable
house parties, festive Christmas get-togethers,
friendly dances, congenial "bull sessions,"
all of which contribute that portion of Greek-
letter life which sets it apart from other
collegiate activities — lie the spirit of brother-
hood, mutual unselfishness, and sincere un-
derstanding which exemplify the value of
fraternal associations in a college student's
life.

At Wake Forest, the forensic warriors represent the section of the
school name that Iras held prominence throughout the South — and the
nation — for several years now. These are the armoured-tongued men
who seek out incongruities in forms of government, systems of society,
plans for defense — or any one of a host of issues held in controversy by
daily papers and internationally-interested magazines. And from end-
less storehouses of oratorical possibilities, these men pick mites of
damaging explosives to fling into the ranks of those who would oppose
. . . who would defend . . . who would fight against rather than sanction.
Then it might be said that forensic activities in college, at Wake Forest,
specifically, represent one of democracy's few unchallenged virtues.
Champions, runners-up, decisionists, veterans — here they are.

EUZEUAN LITERARY
SOCIETY

Beginning early in the month of September with its an-
nual smoker, the members of the Euzelian Literary Society
extended invitations to many first-year men to attend their

special program and social. The guest speaker was Leroy J- *■■ Spencer William ilowe

Martin, prominent Wake Forest alumnus and former so- Presidents

ciety member, and now Vice-President of the Wachovia
Bank and Trust Company and President of the general

Alumni Association. The smoker had excellent results, one of the largest groups of freshmen in recent years joining
the society and becoming initiated into the organization.

Special attention was devoted the first semester to various literary topics, and subjects of general interest to the
average college student were discussed at length. During the second semester, interest was placed upon current events,
the news of the nation and of the world receiving major emphasis.

Although bowing to the Phi's in the debate contests held on Society Day and Founders' Day, the Eu's nevertheless
took top ranking in the field of oratory. Lee Copple, a first-year man, was voted the best orator at both inter-society
meetings, speaking on the subjects, "Wake Forest and Christian Culture" and "Twilight of Humanities?"

At the beginning of the second semester, the Euzelians held a mid-year smoker. Senator John D. Larkins, Jr.,
Wake Forest graduate and president pro-tempore of the State Senate, was special speaker for the occasion.

DEBATE SOU^D

Fzrj/ row: Willis Bennett, Bruce Brown, Ralph Brumet, Bob Goldberg
Second row: Weston Hatfield, H. F. Sherrill. George Watkins, Billy Windes

"n the Debate Squad and Prof. Zon Robinson rests much of the reputation of Wake For-
est College. It is said that as soon as one announces that he is a student or graduate of the Baptist institution, he is
expected to arise and make a soul-stirring oration, and when one examines the record of this year's Debate team, it is
not hard to believe that all this is not a legend.

Particularly notable in the activities was the annual Dixie Tournament in Rock Hill, S. C. There, out of a field of
one hundred and fifty debaters, the Deacons came home with eight of the nine first places, two or more Wake Forest
men tying for top honors in four of these.

The South Atlantic Tournament in Hickory was the next stop for the squad. Here five first places were taken. Here,
too, G. G. Morgan, Jr. won first prize in the North Carolina Peace Oratorical Contest, the third Wake Forest man to
capture first or second place in as many years. One of the longest trips ever taken by a Wake Forest group was that
of the Debate Squad in April. The itinerary covered three thousand miles in eight different Southern states. Out
of twenty schools represented Bob Goldberg and Ralph Brumet were winners of the South Atlantic Pi Kappa Delta
Tournament in Montevallo, Ala.

In North Carolina the debaters made ten different radio broadcasts, from Asheville's WVVAC to Raleigh's WPTF and
Charlotte's WBT in programs of round table discussions and debates. On the campus they were no less active. In
the spring they sponsored the third annual high school debate tournament, in which some thirty nine-month ac-
credited institutions took part. For the first time in the history of the college they inaugurated a Debate Institute
to be held for two weeks during the summer. All in all, it was a great year for the Debate Team and consequently
for Wake Forest. To greater heights must go the men who have paced this year's debate attack . . . such orators as
Ralph Brumet, Bobby Goldberg, Weston Hatfield, Bruce Brown, Willis Bennett, George Watkins, and Billy Windes.

PHI DELTA OMEGA

Under the direction of Weston Hatfield, Jack Staines, and Ben Cole, there was organized in
November the first pre-legal group ever to appear on the Wake Forest campus. Tentatively christened Phi Delta
Omega, the organization was formed around ten or fifteen members admitted by application or by vote of the members.
The major objective of Phi Delta Omega is to foster ideals which entrance into the Wake Forest Law School or any
law school would demand. Membership is limited to juniors and seniors, except in isolated cases.

Forensics Life

Outside of athletics, Wake Forest is pre-
dominantly forensic. Introduced to debates
in the Literary Societies, initiated on Society-
Day and Founders' Day, cultivated by Coach
Zon Robinson, given practical experience in
inter-collegiate contests, and presented to a
wider audience through radio debates, the
Deacon speaker gradually develops the rep-
utation for which the Baptist institution is
nationally famed.

Few students ever realize the work involved in issuing copies of the
college newspaper every week, getting out a single issue of the periodi-
cal publication — The Student, or the amount of constant attention and
responsibility associated with publishing a college yearbook. Yet we
must acknowledge the persistence of the three publications' staffs this
year: Old Gold and Blaek, The Student, and The Howler.
Behind the scenes of getting campus stories, of telling in essay or short
story form, or of bringing together a year's history of the college in
picture and print, there lies a different story from one year to the next.
Relatively few of the school's 1,100 students have an active part in
publications, yet every one is affected in some measure by what is
printed. Then the story — the printed word — of you and your activity
is told by those whose activity is made up largely of finding news, tell-
ing stories, arranging pictures. These men, the personalities behind
the publications, give breadth and strength to posts entrusted into their
keeping ; the final result is a combination of their perseverance and
talent and your cooperation.

Lhis year's Howler has caused many editorial headaches and
grief, but the work of the staff members who have contributed
long hours of toil throughout the year has made the book a
reality. The editor and the staff members have attempted to
give the readers of The 1941 Howler more pictures than ever
before presented in a Wake Forest College annual.

For the excellent quality and interesting pictures we are indebted

to the work of next year's editor. Royal Jennings, who has worked hard during the past two years, and whose cheerful
assistance we sincerely appreciate. Credit for the fine organization writing is due to the work of Newbill Williamson
and Ed Wilson. '1 hese two men consistently disregarded the hands of the clock in order to aid in the production of
this year's book. Eugene Brissie's copy for the introductory pages is typical of the fine style of writing so characteristic
of his former work. Especially valuable was the work received from Bill Ayers, who expertly handled the campus life
section editorial copy. And to Billy Primm goes credit for his unique writing of the athletic section. To these
men and others aiding in the production of The 1941 Howler, Editor Ashburn and Business Manager Early wish to
take this opportunity of expressing their sincere appreciation for their fine work.

In addition to staff assistance, Mr. Gordon Brightman aided immensely in engraving and layout work, Mr. John
Minter was invaluable in solving the printing difficulties, and Mr. J. A. Detweilder and Mr. Faye Smith worked hard
in producing our class pictures.

Looking now to the future and the improvero

The first issue of Old Gold and Black, which appeared in
K|il>. was little more than a pamphlet filled with advertise-
ments. Carey J. Hunter was its first editor. Dr. R. P. Mc-
Cutcheon, now dean of the academic school at Tulane, was
the faculty adviser, and Laurence Stallings, author of What
Price (Hon? and famous writer of numerous movie scenarios,
was anions; the first staff members.

During the twenty-five years of its existence the college weekly
has progressed rapidly, growing from a two-column magazine
style to a regular seven-column paper. Many of its editors
and staff members have since become distinguished in almost
every phase of American life. Among them were Robert
Humber, now renowned for his Federation of the World idea,
and Wilbur J. Cash, who this year published The Mind of the
Smith, which drew much favorable criticism throughout the

Wednesday night.

T. I. Davis

appeared for assignments. A new policy was adopted for
publishing Old Gold and Black on Friday instead of the usual
date, Saturday. The idea was to enable students who go
home on week-ends to obtain the news while it is still news and
to promote more efficient work by reporters who could spend
more effort on Wednesday nights than on the customary dead-
line date, because Thursday is a lighter day for all students.

Not only was changed the appearance date of Old Gold and
Black, but there came forth in the first issue a new make-up,
which found general favor throughout the campus. The
paper became more modern in design and was a neater look-
ing affair.

Going behind the scenes on Wednesday nights one would hear
the incessant pecking of reporters' typewriters, just as in any
great newspaper working room. There were numerous news
writers taking on the usual appearance of journalists . . .
neckties loose, cigarettes burning to ashes in corners of mouth,
and hair in general disorder. There was the habitual strug-
gling to get out a worthy paper for Friday morning, and on
Friday it came ! There were jokes of all sorts exchanged and
various anecdotes as reporters came trekking in from interest-
ing assignments. By the allotment of only twenty men to the
paper's staff, there was promoted a much greater interest in
the publication, for always there was the knowledge that there
was somebody waiting to serve if a reporter slacked in his
work.

Editor Eugene Brissie and Business Manager Tom Davis
deserve unlimited credit for guiding Old Gold and Black to its
success in becoming a concise, compact publication, contain-
ing recognition-gaining editorials and well-arranged adver-
tisements. To Dr. E. E. Folk, faculty adviser of the newspaper,
can never be awarded too much tribute, for his unrelentless
assistance was indispensable to the staff and the publication.

Under the efficient supervision of Wells Xorris. editor, and
Ralph Earnhardt, business manager, The Student continued
the policy of being a strictly literary magazine, publishing
and encouraging short stories, essays, feature articles, and
poems. This year has been one of the most successful in the
history of the publication.

Probably the most outstanding issue of the series of six was
the joint magazine in collaboration with The Acorn staff at
Meredith College. Called The Acorn and the Student, the pub-
lication was the fusion of literary efforts of both colleges.
Editorial material, advertisements, and illustrations drawn up
by students comprised the crowning. issue of the session.

This year's Student has contained numerous articles on prom-
inent Wake Forest alumni, such as Governor Broughton and
Dr. Joseph Quincy Adams, director of the Folger Shakespeare
Library in Washington; articles have been written by former
Student editors, Robert Humber and Rufus Crater.

Of especial interest was the article on the famous art collection
of Dr. T.J. Simmons, alumnus of Wake Forest and president
emeritus of Brenau College. This same story of the collection,
which was given to. the college, was later run in a special
edition of The Alumni News.

Although many of the articles printed in this year's Student
could have been included in almost any edition of the mag-
azine, there were stories of strong time elements. In October,
when feeling over the conscription bill waxed the hottest,
there was a story concerning Wake Forest students who have
gone from the classroom into the army to serve their country
in wars from 1845. Just after Old Gold and Black passed its
silver anniversary, there was a history of the publication. A
Christmas story appeared just before the holidays, presenting
the differences in the Yuletide celebrations which various
students from foreign lands had relinquished to come to Wake
Forest.

The Student has been fortunate in having one of the best staffs
ever assembled in the history of the magazine. Such contrib-
utors as Neil Morgan, Phil Highfill, G. G. Morgan, Weston
Hatfield, Eugene Brissie, Bill Ayers, and Wells Norris have
added excellent bits of material to further the literary value
of the publication. Billy Ellington and Bill Angell have done
wonderful art work. - The poetic side of the magazine has been
enriched by Charles Nanney and Burnette Harvey. Assisting"
on the business staff were such capable men as Donald Brad-
sher, Paul Bell, and Horace Miller.

Again working with the staff this year were Dr. E. E. Folk
and Dr. H. B. Jones, whose assistance has been invaluable in
putting across new ideas and at the same time retaining the
high literary standard.

Almost a far cry into the past seems the year 1941, the very moments that
you lived last autumn, last month, only yesterday. Vet in such fleeting
moments you have seen almost the phenominal at times : the school and
students have taken on new virtues and changes have come about. It seems
only yesterday that the students talked of the opening of" a new stadium.
And the next day you talked about a new medical school, the Wake Forest
College School of Medical Sciences, to be located at Winston-Salem. Now
both are realities : one the natural gem in the valley near the campus ; the
other a new fortress of learning within itself.

Through the lives of average students there coursed one of the strangest
years of events that college life has ever wrought. The omnipresent ring
of national defense tended to drown out your previously envisaged moods of

melancholia and joy in spring ; but in any case the average student-
a serious part of a changing realm.

Publications, it seems, changed and grew with the changing mind of a student
turning toward maturity. Honorary fraternities impressed upon men the seri-
ousness of their positions and capabilities ; and athletics with a victory over the
University of North Carolina brought recompense and sportsmanship. Behind
the scene moved the immortal strains of music, the souls of men who have played
and sung. In forensics there was victory again at several widespread tournaments.
Wherever you were in 1941 on the Wake Forest campus there was life. Some-
day you will remember the day of autumn or the evening of winter, when you
studied, danced, or attended a religious lecture. Wherever you were you touched
i a part of what Wake Forest was in 1941.
