SERVICE HERE Mr. Brothers Heads English Department Ode By a Freshman Capt. Warren Smith Plants U. S. Flag And Claims West Pole (Continued From Page 1) zation of this ambition was reached in his recent discovery. “Much of my credit is due our radio operator, Sam Bennett,” Captain Smith said in his recen*" radio address over B. B. C. “An other man who has played a real hero is Dr. Carl E. Charles, medi cal advisor,” he continued. “He labored day and night when we were all stricken with catfish fever.” This expedition was backed fi nancially by the Georgia Cracker Company. A college without a Freshman Would be a dull affair Of lazy upperclassmen Less that superior air. Who’d have to bear the brunt Of any error and shame Without us trusty Freshmen On whom to dump the blame. There’d be upperclass suckers The usual college goats Who’d have the usual redtape Pushed down the Freshmen’ throat. They’d have to be the bottom For an extra year And so you upperclassmen Be glad we Frosh are here. You most of all would miss Us’uns ignorant ways In classroom, hall and campus That blank bewildered daze. But the Frosh does add new glitter To the worn out Sophomore line; The Junior gals are knitting While the Freshmen lassies shine' Now this has no moral It takes up space and time But if I were not a Freshman I’d discard this little rhyme! From The ^Vooden Horse. “Better English, better Ameri cans” is the motto of the new head of the English department, Mr. L. C. Brothers, formerly of the Wake Forest college English department. “Since the retirement of Mr. J. B.

Mr. Brothers has been on the faculty of Wake Forest colleg- for five years and in that tim has won recognition for his out standing classes on old classic" and English literature. He wil continue his classes here, in ad dition to supervising all work ir English for college students.
