FOREWORD
A wise philosophical historian has justly writ- ten that "A people which takes no pride in the noble achievements of a remote Ancestry, will never achieve anything worthy to be remember- ed by remote descendents." It is with this idea in mind that the members of the Fledgling staff have undertaken to renew the venerable distinc- tions of Colonial days in Wilmington and to en- twine these age old branches firmly around our new and progressing Wilmington College. Wil- mington has never placed its claim to distinction in a large and rapid growth of population, but
to its historic past, as well as to those natural advantages which large numbers of people can never supply, but which form an asset of value which cannot be calculated. Therefore the 1962 Fledgling is offered to the students of Wilming- ton College and others of the area in the hope that they will see that the history of the city, which is characterized in our first buildings, should be appreciated and considered as a thing of value purchased by a community rightfully owning it as a part of its heritage.
BEDICAnON...
The 1960-61 Wilmington College Baseball Team ended their 17-2 season record with a trip to the National Jun- ior College Championship Tournament in Grand Junction, Colorado. This long trip proved to be successful as the team defeated Mesa Junior College in the final game of the tournament, thus winning the title of National Cham- pions.
The members of the 1960-61 team are, seated, Ronnie Smith, Louis Howard, Perry Burchette, Wayne Taylor, Phil Stephenson, Hiram Lee, Lawrence Keith, and Larry Edens; standing, Coach Bill Brooks, David Miller, and Bill Haywood.
Ronnie Durham, pitcher of the champion team, was se- lected as Most Valuable Player in the tournament. Durham, David Miller, and Wayne Taylor were named to the All- Star team.
Bill Haywood ended the season with a 7-1 record. Ronnie Durham tallied 7-0; and Louis Howard, 4-1.

Wilmington College has played an important role in the lives of many people through the years it has been in existence. The college has been an important asset for the Wilmington area, but now it takes on additional duties as its growth comes into full view.
The new campus is a symbol of the historic events which have led to the present status of Wilmington. The city is an old one, filled with many relics and memories of past days.

PROGRESS
Even as the college now becomes an impor- tant part of the society, it becomes a mark of distinction for that which we now call past traits or old hobbies. College is a place for con- version of varied forms ; it is a place for ma- turity. Thus, Wilmington College serves its dual purpose.
The college is a place for growth while it is a place for correction. It is one of the institutes of Wilmington that, while looking ahead, bears the traits of that which has gone before and cannot be changed.
The college life among the students is ever aware of these factors. The activities are varied and promote spirit and ideas.
College presents its challenges.

SCHOOL SPIRIT . . .
The winners of the contest at the Masquerade Ball were very unusual indeed.
Campus life is complex in all schools, but its beginning can be the more complex. Wil- mington College faced many trials during its first quarters of operation on the new campus.
The organization of clubs and teams prove to be challenges to students and faculty. Many of these groups began very slowly, but like Wilmington College and its fellow institutions of Wilmington, growth and progress seem to be a definite goal.

THE DIRECTORS
Due to the small student body, the faculty of Wilmington ColleRe is able to work closely with the students in their curricular and extracurricu- lar activities. The administration is always ready to help the student in his difficulties and to give support and guidance to his organizations. The faculty gives the students a strong foundation on which to build his future life.
Faculty duties do not cease at the end of each fifty-five minute class period, but the instructors spend many hours in their offices confering with "lost" students.
As Dean of Students, J. Marshall Crews is always willing to help students in adjusting to college life and planning for their future achievements.

WE LEAHN
The past method of educating the young ladies of the time portrayed has changed much, even though the watchful eye of the governess was a more rigid guarantee of finishing the books than those of today. This practice shows the want of the people for higher learning.
Education has been a necessity in the founding and development of many nations, just as it pro- foundly influences the character and success of individuals. Through education is found paths to achievement and happiness.
The methods of education change from time to time, but the value of it remains the same. The classes of Wilmington College are symbols of this value.
About the year 1730 a little settlement was begun on the east of the Cape Fear River opposite the junction of its two main branches, which was dignified by the name of New Liverpool. In 1732 the name was changed to Newton. At the session of the Assembly held at New Bern February 25, 1739, among the acts passed was one entitled "An Act for erecting the village called Newton, in New Hanover County, into a township by the name of Wilmington, and regulating and ascertaining the bounds thereof" — the new 'name having been suggested by the Gov- ernor in honor of the Earl of Wilmington.
In 1760 Wilmington was erected into a borough, and the munic- ipal government was entitled "The Mayor Recorder, and Alder- man of the Borough of Wilmington." In 1766 the name of the municipality was changed to "The Commissioners of the Town of Wilmington." The first meeting of a public kind of which there is any record was held April 5, 1743, at which landowners met to elect commissioners for the ensuing year. Taxes were not levied by the commissioners of the town, but apparently by a vote of the inhabitants.
The first newspaper was established in Wilmington in 1764. It was not very successful and was discontinued in 1767.
With these earlier advancements the foundations for what we know as Wilmington, North Carolina, have been carved.

The officers of the Sophomore Class are Ed Mauney, president; John Galloway, vice-president; Barbara Brodnax, secretary; and Stacy Covil, representative. The second representative is Rita Sapp.
A gazebo, found on Chestnut Street, proves to be an item of admiration for two sophomores.
The 1961-62 Sophomore Class of Wilming- ton College takes many fond memories with it as it becomes the first graduating class of the new campus: the never-finished buildings, the air conditioning that arrived in time for winter, the first socials in the Student Lounge, the beginning of student broadcast of WILC, and the overtime ball game that was lost by only two points. The students will especially look back on the trials which they had to make for the future of the college.
In a few years these days will be a part of the history of Wilmington College. As one now looks back on the history of Wilmington, fu- ture generations will be looking back on the 1962 class. This class will recall many pleasant memories that helped Wilmington College to become a part of the history of Wilmington.

The importance of a year's work is always noted at the end of the year. The qualities of the classes can be looked back upon just as the students look back over the memories and wonder how they managed to do all that they did and still graduate. The May Dance, the Azalea Festival, and the National Junior Col- lege Baseball Championship — events that will never be forgotten by the class of 1960-61.
Tommy Cromartie crowns Miss Carol Hewett as Wilmington College May Queen for 1961. Tommy was Vice-president of the student body of 1960-61. As May Queen, Miss Hewett participated in the Azalea Festival as a Southern belle.
FOND MEMORIES
David Miller was one of the outstand- ing freshmen in 1961, David was named to the All-Tournament team in baseball and AU-American shortstop.
Wayne Taylor was named to the All- Tournament team for his superior skill in the position as catcher.
The Most Valuable Player award went to Wilmington College's Ronnie Durham. Ronnie led the Seahawks to victory with his pitching.
The male students of Wilmington College also participated in the Azalea Festival as confederate soldiers. The men were escorts for the college queens and appeared in the services held at Fort Fisher as shown here.
The past generations are reflected in the costumes of IVIiss Susan Hale and Oliver Vestal for use in "Family Affair."
THE BUSY LIFE . . .
Frank Walker's contribution to the Homecoming- Parade could be termed as a petite one. (The rope was used for hitching a ride when the cart broke down in the middle of the parade.)
Misses Rita Sapp, Martha Jay Staton, Barbara Brodnax, and Mary Henderson serve as hostesses for the dedication services in the fall.

STUDENT
The WILC Sweetheart, Linda Hancock, poses before the beginning of the parade.
College work is so hard!
The officers of the Freshman Class of 1961-62 are Charlotte Taylor, repre- sentative; Barbara Singletary, secretary; second row, Nancy Bradshaw, representative; Nat Bost, vice-president; and Terry Horton, president.
THE FRESHMAN CLASS . . .
The Student Council officers for 1962-63 are Nat Bost, president; Kay Wells, secretary; and Millie Stone, vice-president.
The Freshman Class of 1961-62 entered Wilming- ton College amid an air of confusion and antici- pation. Not only was this their first days of college life, but this was the first freshman class of the new campus of Wilmington College.
The students became acquainted with the new- ness of college just as the campus became ac- quainted with them. Organization became a watch- word among the students, for their progress be- came parallel with the progress of the school and campus. Formation of clubs and various activities fell upon these students in the same manner as the beginning years of the college in Wilmington.
This first "wearing in" of the campus can never be redone, but it must remain in the history of the school. This history now becomes a part of the history of Wilmington.

FRESHMAN NURSES . . .
The chemistry lab period begins with instruction on use of chemicals and results to work toward.
The Freshman Student Nurses of James Walk- er Memorial Hospital are also students at Wil- mington College during the autumn and winter quarters. They come several mornings each week to take anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and mic- robiology. At the hospital the nurses are taught by various doctors and nursing instructors. Dur- ing their junior and senior years, they are taught again by Wilmington College professors. This time they study such subjects as sociology and psychology.
Student nurses have hard, busy schedules, but the ones at James Walker still find time to have run. Their recreation includes wiener roasts, tal- ent shows, and even an occasional ballgame on the beach. The freshmen are also allowed to have every weekend off.
One of the highlights of their senior year is the three months' training that all of the nurses receive at the State Hospital in Raleigh.

The activities of a period in time indeed tell the story of the people living then. The Sunday after- noon picnic was a popular activity among young people such as these. A picnic was an event for celebration or for mere hobby. The basket, filled with homecooked delights, was usually raided after a butterfly chase or a game of croquet.
The young people of Wilmington had similar activities, but they enjoyed many different hobbies due to the varied climate. Of course, there was an old swimming hole for the daring even though the Atlantic Ocean beckoned to many in the warmer season. Carriage races, horse shows, and stage shows have played important parts in the growth of the port city.
Activities are a necessity in the organization of any project. The beginning classes of the school were composed of a limited number of members, but with the maturity of the college with the enlargement of the classes, a need was created for varied activities.
Thus, the many clubs and organizations of Wilmington College are important factors in the expansion of the school, its prestige, and its chang- ing members. This section includes the student organizations.
While the facts in regard to the educational interests of the people of the Province of North Carolina were lamentable, there was not such an absolute destitution of educational facilities as has sometimes been represented. There was, however, no legislation in favor of schools until 1745 and nothing came of that. The first school actually put in operation by law was the school at New Bern. The master of the school was required to be a communicant of the Church of England, and the school itself to be subject to the control of that church, as was also the school later established at Edenton, in 1770. On the Cape Fear some of the earlier ministers taught schools. Such was the case in the classical private school opened by Rev. James Tate in 1760 in Wilmington. The first free school of which there is any record, and which was the first one founded by private benevolence, was the Innes Academy in Wilmington, named in honor of Col. James Innes who left nearly all of his estate in 1759 to found it, and which was incorporated under that name.
But these schools, public and private, by no means represented all the educational facilities of the people, for there were private tutors in the families of the planters and wealthier citizens, and the sons of these families, when sufficiently advanced, were sent to Harvard or Princeton or to England for the completion of their education.
These cornerstones, once laid, paved the way for our present educational system which consists of 22 modern accredited schools, including 2 high schools and a junior college.

Hudgens, President; John Pistolis, Vice-president; Ed Mauney, Sophomore President; Gennell Sugg, Freshman Class Representative; Rita Sapp, Sophomore Representa- tive; Barbara Singletary, Freshman Secretary; and Terry Horton, President of the Freshman Class.
Mr. Walter C. Biggs serves as advisor of the Student Council.
The Student Council sponsors assembly programs such as this Christmas program of music by the Wilmington College Chorus under the direction of Mr. Loyd Hudson.
ELECTED TO LEAD
The members of the 1961-62 Student Council of Wilmington College were chosen to lead the student life and to coordinate the activities. The new campus is the pride of many, but it presents the task of organization.
The parking situation became the first of the problems overcome by the Student Council. The grass must be protected ; therefore, members issue parking tickets for illegal parking.
Obtaining ash trays, door mats, checker and chess sets, cards, and book racks for the Stu- dent Lounge became a project of the Campus Committee.
Informal dances have proven to be popular among the students. The WILC Broadcasting Service became a separate committee due to its growth.
Conducting student body elections is another important task of the Student Council.
Each year, the Student Council sponsors Homecoming Week-end. This consists of parade, bonfire, game, and dances.
The Suggestion Box and Poll Committee com- bine to inform the Student Council of the needs of the student body.
The WILC Student Broadcasting Service began as a project of the Campus Committee of Student Council for providing a method of announcing important bulletins and the music that students like to hear. A separate committee now, it is headed by Ed Mauney, head announcer; Oliver Vestal, chief engineer; Frank Rogers, station manager; and Mary Gillilan, secretary.
The President of the Cotillion Club relaxes at one of the dances with Anne West and Charlotte Taylor while Char- lotte's date takes pictures.
The Cottillion Club began its operation late in the school year of 1961-62. The dances of the college were organized by a committee of the Student Council, headed by the Chairman of Social Affairs who was appointed by the presi- dent. The chairman who was appointed in 1961 was Al Shew, a second year student of Wilming- ton College.
The committee, under Al Shew, began to grow and create interest in socials among the students on campus. The need for building school spirit became satisfied by uniting the school through social functions. This factor combined with the necessity of handling trivial matters of concern to dances outside of Student Council meetings to instigate the question of a charter for a dance club.
The Cotillion Club is made up of the members of the Student Council and three representatives from each class. The meetings are for the pur- pose of planning the dances for a report to the Student Council.
ORGANIZATION OF DANCES
The President of the Cotillion Club, Al Shew, confers with some of the members of the club on the choice of records for the dances. These members are Terry Hoi'ton,
Gennell Sugg, Hilda Rooks. Al, Barbara Singletary, Ed Mauney, Jim Hudgens, and Tommy Landen.

The engineers take time out from preparing drawings and solving curvitures to charcoal hamburgers and display musical talents.
SERVICE CLUB
Miss Judy Hayes, club sweetheart, proves that engineering can be very interesting.
The Engineers Club was formed to promote interest among the students in all aspects of engineering. Under the advice of Mr. Calvin Doss, Mr. Fred Toney, and Mr. Rolla C. Nelson, the members participate in both scholastic and civic activities.
The Engineers Club organized the parade for the Homecoming Week-end of Wilmington Col- lege. The members also spent many afternoons collecting wood for the bonfire.
The club holds monthly meetings at which time guest speakers keep the club informed on the latest engineering practices and develop- ments. The group also conducts tours to interest- ing places such as Fort Fisher Air Force Base in order to see engineering principles in practical application.
Dinner meetings and socials also fill the agenda. The sale of Wilmington College pins is an important project of these students.
Promoting interest and providing help to the school makes this club the service club of the college.
Mr. Larry Ingle, Assistant Professor of Social Sciences, is the advisor of the society.
The Panmathan Society is the first of its kind at Wilmington College, being organized in the fall of 1961. Its organization was brought about to help fulfill the need of the new campus for a variety of interest to the students.
The meetings of the Panmathan Society provide the students and faculty with a place for discussion and debate. These meetings are begun with a speaker or speakers, and it usually ends with a conversion of one point of view or with an equal number of supporters for each side.
Subjects discussed at these meetings range from religion to politics. "Operation Abolition" was shown to the members and visitors at one of the more interesting meetings. A newly converted Re- publican also created an evening of intense interest.

WILMINGTON COLLEGE CHESS CLUB
The Wilmington College Chess Club was formed in the winter of 1961 for the purpose of providing students with a place for learning and improving the popular game. This club is one of the new clubs in the history of Wilmington College, created to help interest the students in their school and its activities.
The meetings of the Chess Club are held weekly, and the entire evening is devoted to playing among the members. Advice is given to them from the club officers and advisors.
A chess team is sent to other schools such as North Carolina State College for competition. The chess champion of North Carolina also makes the meetings interesting with his advice.

WE EXCEL
The bouffant dress of the southern belle easily portrays the beautiful styles of the period of plan- tation life. These styles reveal the elegant taste of the people and their interest in the excellence of the day. The southern belles may not wear this style of dress in the fashions of modern times, but the beauty of a young lady is the symbol of the socials of the year.
The academic life has its limit in every college, for the students must have varied activities to satisfy their active minds. During the year differ- ent social are sponsored to create interest among the students in their school and its importance. These activities range from Faculty-Student socials to the formal May Dance and informal post-game dances. The election of the Sophomore Superlatives is a highlight for the second year students. The Fledgling Beauties reveal the belles of the college.
Thus, the students display their excellence in the midst of the busy class schedules and deadlines. This section features the students of Wilmington College who have excelled in the socials of the year.
Wilmington offers a record replete with historical interest and full of promise of a fine and progressive future, built upon a treasured past history and incalculable natural advantages. It has made large contributions to the formation of the American nation, and deserves much recognition by the State of North Carolina as a city of first historic importance that has supplied an active association with the world of commerce and the growth of free governments.
By 1890 Wilmington was a thriving city with electric lights, street cars, and railroads, and a population of 17,000. The first World War brought a boom in the shipyards and increased the population, as did World War II. However, a natural decline in population followed.
The city in 1952 had a population of 55,000. Both the city and county continue to grow rapidly in industry, port development, and modern conveniences.
The imagination and interest of tourists and vacationists are captured by the Wilmington area's natural beauty, famous gar- dens, historic points and landmarks, excellent fishing grounds and nearby ocean beaches with miles of beach strand. Many visitors and sports-minded tourists are attracted by fine golf courses, tennis courts, and zoos.
Wilmington and New Hanover county are easily accessible by air, land, water, and rail. It is served by two railroads, two air- lines, the inland waterway, and bus lines.

WE PLAY
A popular sport in this past generation was "wheeling" a two-seater as couples passed many happy hours pedaling over the countryside. This was a method of visiting, sightseeing, and exercis- ing as well as sharing a mutual pleasure. This domestic sport has had many varied forms in the years that it has spent as a favorite pastime through team jaunts, races, and therapy.
Sports play important parts in the developing of an organization as much so as the vital purposes. Through this unity, a group can set its goals high and confidently hope to attain them. The sports activities of Wilmington College have been more than an asset. The recognition that the teams have received in a far reaching area has been invaluable for the prestige of the school. The variety of sports, as limited by the climate, provides a game for all interested students.
The influence of sports on student life of a col- lege cannot be over emphasized. Just as the past generation used sports to develop well-rounded students, the present day student uses them to create interest in all phases of college life. This section is the sports of Wilmington College.

The life of sports is the natural learning activity of people everywhere. Through it is digested some of the deepest and most poignant experiences of many lives. Through it is fit the incom- prehensible segments of the world into an understandable whole. From the dramatization of human relationships, occupations, current events, stories from life, from books, from radio, and from movies, one can acquire this comprehension.
As industrialization grew in the Wilmington area, space for sports almost disappeared, and the content of sports activities itself thinned out. Realizing this, the elders of the town develop- ed a worthwhile Play Area Development Program based upon the natural sporting interest of each age level. As the experiences of Wilmingtonians enlarged, the interest in the immediate en- vironment was extended to include new activities.
With the passage of time there developed a community abund- ance of facilities for almost every sport enthusiast. Nearby ocean beach resorts offer recreational facilities to tourists, vacation- ists, and sportsmen. Excellent swimming facilities are available in clean, clear water, warmed by the Gulf Stream. The sounds are ideal for sailing, boating, skiing, and fishing. Angling in Wilmington and the surrounding area is enhanced by the activi- ties of the New Hanover Fishing Club, the largest of its type in America, and the Yacht Club.
Golf is played on Wilmington's fine municiple course, or on one of the country club courses. The PGA Azalea Open Golf Tourn- ament is held annually in the spring. A number of tennis courts are also open to the many tennis enthusiasts.
New Hanover and the adjoining counties provide opportuni- ties for hunting of all kinds of game. Wilmington has many parks plus a number of city playgrounds and athletic fields. Greenfield Park is one of the beauty spots of the South.

COACH WILLIAM J. BROOKS
»
The familiar tall figure of the coach of Wil- mington College has for several years been the symbol of the growing prestige of the sports of the college. Mr. William Jasper Brooks has led the baseball team to the national championship in 1961 and the basketball team to the finals of the championship in 1962.
Mr. Brooks, Associate Professor of Biological Science, received his AB from Atlantic Christian College in 1948 and his MA from East Carolina College in 1959. As a member of the facultv at
Wilmington College, he has tought health and physical education courses. The coach spends much of his time searching for candidates for the teams of the college.
The new campus of Wilmington College will soon include a baseball field due to the efforts of this man. Because of his work on the field it- self and his work for the improvement of the .school, the Board of Trustees has named the field "Brooks Field".

TEAM ACTION
The Seahawks of Wilmington College began the 1961-62 season with a non-conference win over the North Carolina State Freshmen by a score of 79-63. Returning from Raleigh, the team defeated Atlantic Christian College, 86-46.
Collecting the first loss of the season, the Seahawks played the Citadel Freshmen in a 73-79 game, but this was to be revenged in the return battle on home ground with a 94-84 score. In this victory, Eugene Bogash broke his previous score record with 33 points.
Jim McCurdy, Al Thiry, and Larry Edens tied for high scorers in the Wilmington-State Freshmen game with 22 points each. This victory was the second over the State team with a 102-79 score.
The next two non-conference games were losses with final scores of 68-70 and 71-94 to the University of North Carolina Freshmen and the University of South Carolina Freshmen respectively. Edens led the first game with 16 points; Eugene Bogash, the second with 32 points.
The Wilmington group met St. Andrews in Laurin- burg for a 98-82 victory. Bogash again led the Sea- hawks with 23 points, high score for both teams.
Bogash and Thiry were high scorers for the 76-42 win over Charlotte College. With a limited team the Seahawks still had no trouble defeating this rival.
Larry Edens and the Louisburg team player seem to suspend from a mutual point as the ball flies away near the Seahawk hung for the Home- coming Game.

Continuing without the prep students, the home team walked over Chowan College in Progden Hall for a 90-72 score. Larry Edens made 25 points, having 7 successful free throws. Harry Buzzell and Gene Bogash each received 16 points.
The return of the prep students to the non-conference game with Duke Freshmen was not enough strength to beat this team. The Hawks bowed with an 87-91 final score. "Bo" again led both teams in scoring with a 32-point tally.

Revenge was also found against the University of South Carolina Freshmen as Brooks' boys won over the team by 12 points. McCurdy and Edens led the home scoring.
On the road for the next two challenges and victories, the Seahawks played 66-50 and 76-66 games over Atlantic Christian and Chowan. In the first game McCurdy totaled 14 points, and Bogash and Edens tied with 13 which was to follow in the latter game with 24 points.
Home for another non-conference, the team
continued their winning streak with a victory over St. Andrews College. Although the Hawks tried hard for a 100-point score, time ran out with one point lacking against 76 of the oppos- ing team.
The Homecoming Game of Wilmington College was played with Louisburg as the foe. The 79-66 victory was not an easy one as the starting five, Thiry, Haywood, Bogash, Edens, and Stephenson, played the majority of the game, hitting 69% from the free throw line. "Big Al" set his high for games played to date with 28 points.

THE GOLF TEAM . .
Even though the golf team of Wilmington Col- lege is in an immature stage, it hopes to become an integral part of Wilmington College's sports activities. The formation of any organization is always its hardest step, but the golf team has had little trouble in finding interested students.
In their spare time, the members can be seen on the greens trying to improve their techniques with tips from Mr. Frank Allen, faculty advisor.
The golf team challenges nearby college teams to matches, thereby expanding the sports publici- ty of Wilmington College. Other members of the faculty also help teach the students in their spare time.
Membership in the golf team does not require a certain capability in the sport. The members are students who merely enjoy the game, like to share it, and look forward to competition.

The Seahawks began their 1961 baseball season with a week of training in Tallahassee. The headquarters for the drilling was a baseball camp operated by Florida State University. Danny Litweiler, former major league out- fielder, lined up practice games for the team.
The Wilmington College team lost the first game of the season but were to revenge that start by ending with a 15-2 season record. The first victory of the season was a 2-0 game over the University of North Carolina freshmen. Righthander Bill Haywood pitched a 4-hit shutout. Out- fielder Larry Edens batted in Blair Walker for the first run and then scored himself on an error by the shortstop.
The record climbed to 2-1 as Ronnie Durham pitched a 2-hitter in the 13-0 victory over Chowan College. Durham allowed only 2 singles and struck out 11 men. The Hawks chalked up 14 hits off of the three pitchers of Chowan. Larry Edens made 3 hits, and Louis Howard and Wayne Taylor each made a triple.
Gaining possession of first place in the Virginia-Caro- linas Junior College Conference, the Wilmington College players blanked Louisburg College 5-0. Lawrence Keith began the game with a base on balls, advanced to second, then to third on David Miller's infield hit, and scored on a double-steal play with Miller going to second. Keith tallied again with a single and double. Haywood gave up 4 hits while the Hawks made 5 hits in the game, using walks to help make the score.
Coach William J. Brooks, looking over the team roster, is responsible for the superb training of the Wilm- ington College baseball team.

THANKS . . .
The development of Wilmington College will involve many persons from varied fields of society as it steadily reaches its goal as a successful, established college of popular prestige. Indeed the development began some time ago in historical Wilmington and has already compiled an exceedingly long list of efforts by people toward its status of today, but growth never stands still and the list will ever grow longer as each year at Wilmington College odds something to its standing.
The Fledgling Staff has been subject to the efforts of people in combining strength to attain their desired goal as we have ventured into the past of Wilmington to present Wilmington College in the background of Wilmington. Thus we hove recognized the work of the many factors which have contributed to the making of a college and its organization. The most important organization is that of the adjustment of the students. We now want to thonk the many people who have helped make this yearbook the first yearbook of the new campus of Wilmington College:
the merchants of Wilmington for supporting us
the people of Wilmington for trusting us
the students of Wilmington College for their contributions
the faculty of Wilmington College for their help ond guidance
and George, Annie, Mr. Davis, Mr. hiigh, Ed, Coach, Dean Crews, Dr. Randall, the Board of Trustees, Janice, Bonnie, Nancy, Rita, and Gerald.
Miss Frances Best Editor, The Fledgling
