Dr. D. B. Bryan had a plan in mind by which the college would formally recognize leading men in the student body, and encourage stu­dents to strive for the high standards of Christian character, leadership, and scholarship. The Golden Bough originated in the spring of 1925. At that time men were selected by a combined vote of the faculty and those men who had received the highest number of votes. Last year there were nineteen charter members who returned to college. According to a special provision, the maximum number eligible last year was thirty. Accordingly, in the spring term eleven men qualified and were im­pressively initiated. · Members this year will be elected by a combined vote of the present membership and of the faculty.

For days after the announcement of the ceremony last spring, men all over the campus were asking in a familiar phrase, "Who will make the Golden Bough?" It was entirely secret, even to the hour of the cere­mony. One might venture to say that many had come with a hidden hope that by some possible fortune they might be among the chosen few. Of course some were inwardiy dis­appointed, but all joined in Ct..-­

No records were broken in the meet last year. Patterson, of Friend­ship, registered 42.6 feet in the shot­put, but since he had alread~ w?n first place with a 39.9 mark, this dis­tance did not count as a record. The youngster from Queen City ran the 100-yard dash in 10.8 on a slow track, and made the 220-yard dash in 23.8. Brown, of Greensboro, hurled the discus 10 0. 7 feet, and was the high scorer of the meet, with 11 points to his credit.

Last year thirty-five high schools from practically every section of the State were represented in the Decla­mdtion Contest. In this contest, Cas­kin Narvel carried off first honors, which was a gold medal and a schol­arship to Wake Forest College. His rendition of "The Shooting of Dan McGrew,". together with his small size, made him a favorite of the audi­ence. Second and third places were awarded to J. A. Ivy, of Buie's Creek Academy, and P. F. Snyder, of Pleas­ant Garden High School, respectively. To the winner of second place was awarded a silver medal, while to Mr. Snyder a bronze medal was given.

.All contestants reaching the finals received a gold pin. They were: Walter Tootle, Monroe; Homer Mc­Cann, Winston-Salem; J. L. Harde, Waco; D. E. Willis, Fruitland; Lynn Wilder, Raleigh; R.

RECEPTION PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOLS PLANNED

.Although the eleventh annual Interscholastic Tournament is more than two months off, definite and complete plans are rapidly taking form. From the social side, also, we hope to make this the best tourna­ment ever held at Wake Forest. The students always look-·forward with pleasure to \having old high school chums and "fellows from. home" visit them. We like for them to see our institution in operation, so that they can feel the spirit, catch step with the squad that is leading the procession, and lihow where they are going to college, and why.

· Several baseball games are slated for that week. On Friday afternoon the Guilford eleven will meet the Wake Forest squad and Coach Bald· win's genius, either of which is suf­ficient to assure victory. On Satur­day, Elon will make another invasion, to be repulsed before they get in firing range, of course.

On Friday night the two literary society halls will be the scene of an informal reception, when merriment runs riot and good times go in pairs, for the girls will be there to greet

- to State

Flashing through to a victory over the Red Oak Farm-life School and los­ing a hard game to the N. C. State Yearlings, the Baby Deacons of Wake Forest College, led by Coach Charles Lingie, have opened their 1927 season.

The Baby Deaks have a nice aggre­gation, but in the games thus far they have not shown the power of the 1927 yearling team. There are some promising basketeers on thee fresh team,-·men who should carry Wake Forest's colors through a successful season, but there is room for improve­ment as to smoothness of operation in the frosh aggregation.

Woods, Weldon, Weir, "Red" Wine· coff, Tom Lanning, and others compose the team this year, all coming from good high and prep school teams throughout the state. · Tom Lanning, at center, and Weldon Weir at one of the guard positions are doing the most consistent work thus far.

etic according to the law of degener­ation, reversion to l;ype, and the law of death, and the wo.-ld seemed like the traditional figure of an ugly ser­pent with its tail in its mouth de­vouring itself.

The principle of change is manifest in all nature; everywhere we see growth and decay; progress upward is largely matched by regress back­ward. Mr. Albert Edward Wlggam, an avowed evolutionist, tells of speci­mens of ants which a cel'taln pro­fessor has encased in amber Which he says are 2,000,000 years old, and they are practically identical with the ants now living. We wonder who esti­mated the date of the amber and the ants; but suppose that we grant his statement is true, on such principle of devotion, how long did it take to develop a man from an amceba?

Human races rise and fall; history repeats itself. We see little upward movement anywhere in the world ex­cept where human heart and spirit are touched by the power of Christ and the Christian religion. Man is very far down by reason of a condi­tion of degeneration which has long existed. Christ says: "The Son of man is come to save that which was lost." Matt 18: 11. Man's highest good and noblest development can come only by the new birth which .Tesus explained to Nicodemus, and by "the expulsive power of a new affection.'' We must look to Christ; the progress of the Christian era comes from his inspiration.

"YOUTH"

And yet we hear much about the youth of today. Are they so bad? Are they so good? Are they different? Are they like past generations? On an­other page appears a column reflecting the thought of youth today. If we find how they think we can immedi­ately see how they are. The quotation shows clearly that at. bottom one sec­tor of youth, the students of one school value girlhood and womanhood. If they are consistent they will equally value and inwardly prize manhood.

The following quotation shows again what a student body thinks of honor.! It seems an adequate test, although the author does not say there are not

this way without a salesman in sight, and before dark the pile of bills and coins on the lonely table exceeded $125. At the same time the following were noticed in a walk through the univer­sitiy buildings: In the basement of the gymnasium was an immense box of bagged peanuts with an open box near­by to hold the money. Near the stair landing of the largest dormitory an open barrel of fancy apples was found, with. a money-box resting on the ap­ples, and a card put up by the unknown salesman, stating the price. Mean­while in one of the corridors of the Graham dormitory, holding 116 stu· dents, might be found every night In the lighted open hall a well-stocked 'midnight lunch' table, with money-box and schedule _of prices, but no visible salesman. It was stated that the box generally held from three to five dol· Iars by morning."

To probe deeper may be demanded. The doubter may ask what is the mo­tive of the Washington and Lee cus· tom. The writer is willing to accept it without reservation as honor based upon honesty, integrity and belief in the highest standards of thinking. On the other hand it may be said, in fact it has been said, that the Virginia honor system is founded upon the less exalted basis of a gentleman's agree· ment as to certain campus practices and not more than that. ·

There is said to be honor among thieves. But such honor is not the truest honor. We venture to opine that such is not the case in Virginia. May the youth of that great state con­tinue in honor as their forefathers have through our history led in times of war and peace.-Tlte Baptist St1t· dent, issue of October, 1926.

The day before a recent 'great game' with the University of Virginia some enterprising student placed hundreds of lapel buttons with the college colors on a table under a campus tree, priced according to size, with an open box to afford change and hold the money. Before night the box was so overflowing with bills that a passing professor placed a weight on them to keep the pile from blowing away. Over 300 emblems were sold in

A rather sad commentary on what the Church bas done for youth in England comes from a young man who says that his generation has no fundamental belief, though it tries to live nobly and does achiev:e a sort of pagan happiness through doing well. Writing in The Guardian (Church of England), William J. Brittain, who has just reached twenty-one, says that the religion of youth is the religion of the open air, of sunshine, of laughter. Some are serious; they revere some Power that is above and unseen. They were stirred in their Sunday school years by stories of missionaries, and during the war they said their pray-

Some one has ventured the asser­tion that students who are interested in the Golden Fleece issue can find the major questions concerned in the following considerations, which we willingly pass on as worthy of some attention:

Does the University need an or­ganization to designate those men who best exemplify the traditions of the institution?

Does the University need an or­ganization which bands together the men who perform this service?

Does the University need one or­ganization, if any, to designate the best "University men," and another to band together such individuals, or does it need one organization with both these functions?

• Does Golden Fleece do one, both, or none of these things? .
