After having missed lier for one year, we were glad to welcome Helen back to Catawba. She is a diligent worker, and, usually, we can find her in the library, writ- ing themes, prejiarJng tlie next day ' s classes and, in fact, doing any tiling but wasting time. She impresses us with her studious- ness. The time she religiously spends jn her lessons and the marks that result are clear proof. TJul, with all her work, Helen still finds time to entertain iier many ad- mirers of the ojiposite sex. JOE L. BLACK B.S. ill Bit.1. Admin. Mount Pleasant, Texas.

As an ath- lete, his ability is unexcelled on the football field and baseball diamond; in basketball, the J.A ' ' ' s., or should we say the .Junior ' arsity, are proud to have him as a mem- ber; as a student, lie not onl ' makes ex- cellent grades but manages someliow to get his name on the Honor Uol! ; as an actor, he put liis nami- riinong Hie Barrymores of Catawba Iiy his }ierformance in The Tiiirteenlh Ciiair ; as a lover, he — —but why should we tell on him?

In the popular mind, a college student is conceived of as being a rather carefree iad just out of his teens; living in the present already prepared for liim, and still tliought- less of tlie morrow. But as we loolv at Catawba ' s student body, we find outstanding men upon whose slioulders the bulk of student leadershij) seems to rest. There resides in Clyde an indefinable urge to lead, to inspire, and to act without external promptings. LENA li. BOLEV A.B. Blue Springs, Mo. Y. V. C. A., 4. Lena Holey has l)een on our campus for one bus} ' year, but within that space of time her personality has made an indelible stamp upon tlie minds of her fellow students, as well as faculty members. What is probably most strikingly characteristic of all her qualities, is the fact tliat she does not hesitate to project into all of her college relation- ships her own jiarticular conceptions of decorum, as well as her well-defined sense of the right, wlietber in thought or in deed. Among her friends she is a wise counselor, in class slie is probably an exemplar of i cholarift ideahi.1. out of class she manifests an equally admirable ability to administer tlie more important business connected with the student affairs that come her way. i © . mktm .

It is sur])rising: Imw Kannajioiis gets along so well without this ambitious aspirant to gospel-spreading. We cannot conceive of Catawba ' s baseball team without so efficient and enthusiastic a manager as Keller. ' J ' ruthfully we can say that the success of (lur liaschall dri ' e was due to liis tact and sturdiness. The Ministerial Band will miss this member as he passes tlirough the gates of his Alma Mater, but hi losing such a valuable member, they arc sending out into the world one who will gain fame not only for himself, but for Catawba as a preacher and worker of the Christian cliurch.

Granite Quarry, K. C. Schiller Verein, 1, 2. A quiet, conscientious worker, Ruth tackles her work with a determination that can only mean success. She has been with us throughout her college career, and tlirough her sincerity, friendliness, and unassuming personality she has won the love of students and faculty. Here ' s to you, Ruth, we ' re all wishing you tlie greatest success in your future life, whether it be as a school marm or planning delicious meals from 1()1 Ways to a Man ' s Heart.

Too few of us have really learned to know and appreciate this fellow with tlie laughing e.ves and curly hair from Penn- sylvania. But those of us who have been fortunate to jiass pleasant hours with him know Metz as a good pal and a true friend. On the cinders he has met very few that could outdistance him, and w e expect him to keep up this winning form for future races in life. i © . ii illi L 33 J 4 THELMA E. CONNELL A.B. Spencer, N. C.

Throughout her college life Thelma showed herself to be an excellent student, an active member of her class, and a willing worker in behalf of Catawba ' s busy student life. It is as a definite personality, sharp and certain, that we know and shall know her. A mind clear and strong, yet easily im- pressionable; a heart proud and dauntless, yet responsive to every manifestation of grief or joy; a spirit illusive and fleeting, yet so real that it sweejis the strong as well as the weak before it in its pestulent bursts of winsomeness, — such is the inimitable bit of femininity Thelma has projected upon the hearts of her associates.

Enersretic. big-hearted, and willing seems to tell just what we want to sa - abnut Miles. As a stage worker for the Blue Masque, Catawba is losing a valuable man whose place it will take years to fill. As a con- genial fellow, all the boys have found him interesting and a good s]iort in the dormi- tory. Throwing water, telling jokes, not excepting study and liis work on the Pioneer staff, seem to be his chief hobbies. For LightTiing, we sincerely believe tlie fulnre holds good things. ©■ Mi iM MARGARET KI.LER A.B. Salisbury, N. C.

Of all the fair co-eds who have left our alma mater ' s sheltering arms, there are few of whom Catawba can be more j roud than of Margaret. It is only wlien we attempt to integrate the sum of the details of her various activities into a synthesis, that we may see her personality. Imperious in demeanor when slie instinctively recognizes an inferior, she is just as comijliant when she willfully takes the subordinate position. The uniqueness of her charm, so reminiscent of the immortal Mona Lisa, is incarnate in her eyes and lips; the eternal feminine, not flippant but cautioiis (when reason holds sway) not meek and subservient in general, but supple when the particular occasion dictates.

Wine, women, and song; but to Kitty it ' s onl} ' women ! So saith one of liis fellow- students. For four j ' ears he has followed tills classification pretty closely; but this is true of him in only his lighter, or should we say, weaker moments. Tlie remainder of the da ' , Kitty spends being an atlilete and is one of the best that Catawba has ever l)rodueed. As proof of this we only offer the information that in four years he lias won eleven letters in football, basketball, and baseball. But that ' s ' enuf said! For addi- tional facts, you may refer to his ' Big Moment — whoever she may be at that time. i © id 4 [35] MAX VOLFF FISCHHACH A.B. New York. N. Y. Athenaean Literary Society, 2, 4-, Critic. 4; Y. M.

And here, folks, is good olc ' ' Lib — one of the best sports in this part of tlie country ! She is ready for every tiling and always willing to do her share of the work. Lib ' s Icn-alty to her class is rarely surjiassed for she sticks witli tliem thri)Ugli tbiek and thiri. In all sports, she is a familiar figure among the stars, and no matter li( w badly siie liises she is always ready to tell the ntbcr fi-llow how well he itlayed. Indeed slie has accepted the tasks of her many activities without flincliing. J i I ■■ ' .( I Mi HUBERT D. FLEMING A.B. China Grove, N .

Hubert isn ' t a sijectacular fellow, doesn ' t o in mucli for the exciting things, and is quite content to pursue the intra cacies of higher matliematics while otlier men de- light tlieniselves with more alluring figures. There is only one place to look for this joung gentleman, and that is in the science laboratory. Hubert is rather quiet, apparently be- lieving that people should be seen and not iieard. But when lie does speak he has some- thing to sai, . He is a good student and ready when called upon. Milt I AM FOIL A.B. Mount Pleasant, N. C. ' ice President Class, 4, Treasurer, S; V. W. C.

Her record proves her efficiency; her host of friends proves the quality of being interest- ing, and every one at Catub will vote her sweet and lovable. Our case is won. No further argument; the case is dismissed only to say that Mini, although very much in- terested in music, lias never been too busy to take part in extra-curricular activities. How often have we been thrilled, yes ap- palled, as Mim sat at the organ and peals of sweet music came forth to touch our ears. If college life is a means of pre- dicting one ' s success or one ' s failure in the future, then only the best can come to Miriam, and we feel confident it will.

Chris to most of us means a demure and quite attractive lass with the ability and nerve that few possess to finisli a college course in three years, and yet she has done it and remarkably well. A sparkle on her left liand tells us she is not going to be purely theoretical in her Home Ec course, but is i lannjng to be ]5racticai and useful to a promising young chemist. Not only to lier friends, but to every one, Cliris sends out that cliarm wliicli when once you love her, you love her for always. Tliese three short years have been too little witli you, Chris, but as ' ou leave, the class of 1931 wishes for you happiness and success. NORMAN B. HEDRICK A,B. Lexington, N. C.

Norman is known better perhaps than any other boy in the dining-room for it is to him we look u]) to wlien meal time conu ' s. His steadfastness has wtin for liim many honors. As Basketball nuinager, he could not have been surpassed. He seems quite able to mix books, business, sports, and last, but not least, girls, and even tiiough he does have a weakness for Home Ec girls, we blame him not. As a historj ' teacher, we realize that those who come in contact witli jiim will indeed be fortunate. (S ikM i [38] © jQ SS M RICHARD DEE HETRICK B.S. in Bit.i. Admin. Easton, Pa.

Dick hails to us from Pennsylvania, and judging by his actions at Catawba, Penn- sylvania has every right to be ]iroud of her son. H enot only takes part Jn all activities but seems to make a howling success out of everything he tries. Althougli quite a favorite with tlie wumen folks, Dick re- fuses to be misled and moved by the wiles of even the most tantalizing Soutliern lassies. We feel tliat perha]is there is a nigger in tlie woodjiile in the form of a Yankee lady. If this is true, the North lias again triumphed over the South, and we, following in the footsteps of our ancestors, are compelled to gracefully surrender. ELLA MARGARET HOLBROOK A.B.

From the snow-capped peaks of Alaska to the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterranean, no greater joy can be found than in Hunters- ville, the home of Red. Two merry, twinkling blue eyes, soft strands of beauti- ful red hair, and a wisp of a skirt, and you have Ella. Truly it can be said She has two eyes, so soft and blue. Take care! With the qualities of a staunch, true-blue friend, Ella is a jewel to those who know and love her. Her ever readiness to help a friend, and her part in intra-mural sports will long be remembered. For Ella, we say Not evening, but dawm, for we believe that the richest and happiest is yet to come. i (5 . •Jli [39] ■© mh iM UKBKCCA JULIAN J.B. Salisbury, N. C.

As our class president, as president of the Y. M., and as Varsity Debater, Josh has put his varied talents to the test, and we, who were watching, found him not wanting. Far less tangible than the list of honors is the moral influence Josh has had on the coterie of admirers that flock about him. His dis- tinct abilities as a leader of men, and as an inspirer of others, liave been definitely proven by tlie record of his Senior year, if by notliing else, and we predict for him a life of Christian service in the ministry, wbicli will be a credit to himself, and acceptable In the God he serves. i © aklAk [41 J Jl ■w iV BENNETT EIXN B.S. ill Bu .

Carl has not an innumerable tjuota of honors attached to his name, but neverthe- less his presence has been of much value to the Senior Class. Inconspicuous has this youth attempted to make himself, but his traits are by far very conspicuous. Quiet and unassuming hut at the same time genial and not averse to plans for good enjoyment — tlius we characterize him.

A girl, stately and dignified — that is Margaret. True nobility and true likability are true merits of her, both of which are testified by the roses she receives on every special occasion.

And here, folks, is Catawba ' s future rival for Miss America. During her entire four years Kat has been one of our most popular girls, scoring especially heavy among the hoys.

But do mit get tin- idea that Kaf ' sjtends all her time with the hoys, for she has many other activities. She is a strong defender for the Class of 1931.

Practicallj ' the entire class was present. Class president, Joshua Levens, who is now President of the Theological Seminary at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, greeted the guests. Miss Cora Ruth Brown, Dr. Levens ' worthy co- worker, attractively clad in brown velvet with rhinestones, assisted Dr. Levens in tlie reception of guests. Among the persons in tlie receiving line was the ' ice president of the class. Miss Miriam Foil, who is organist at the beautiful new Metropolitan Church in Xew York City, which replaces tlie little church around tlie corner. Miss Margaret Linn, class secretary, who was on Miss Foil ' s right, was charming in a shimmering creation of pale yellow chiffon and satin with crystals. Tlie distinguished Jolui McCanless. President of the General Motors Corporation, and Class treasurer, was on Miss Linn ' s right. Shortly after eight o ' clock, the guests went into the banquet hall. Miss Thelma Council, columnist for the New York Timet:, acted as toastmistress. Miss Connell wore a becoming creation of green taffeta and black lace. An informal program was presented. A quartette composed of Joe Black, football coach at Harvard, Richard Hetrick, secretary of the American Sports Association, Bennett Linn, President of the Landis Mills, Inc., and Eugene Peeler, Y. M. C. A. secretary at Kannapolis, sang several pleasing selections. Honorable Clyde Blackmon. ex-governor of North Carolina and Republican nominee for President of the United States, spoke at length upon the influence of tlie Class of ' 31 on American History. Miss Ruth Young, chief laboratory technician at Johns Hopkins Hospital, gave an interesting account of the work of Dr. Melvin Campbell in the clinics in Baltimore. Miss Margaret Linn, a charming addition to the High Point society, sang several lovely solos. She was accompanied by Miss Lorraine Morgan, Public School Music Supervisor for Guilford County. Keller Brantley, manager of the Chicago Cardinals, gave an amusing account of the past baseball season. He spoke particularly of the spectacular playing of Arnold Canup and Kitty Finch. Claire Barrett invited the class to tea at the attractive and popular tea room, The Jolly- Woggler, which she, Chrystelle Hedrick, Doris Miller, and Josephine Linn are running in Charlotte. The banquet ended with several yells and songs which were led by John Aycock, superin- tendent of schools at Sharon, S. C. Then the guests retired to the elegant drawing-room for coffee and charades. Alice Smith, Mary Sowers, and Margaret Eller ])resented the first charade. Miss Smith is chief librarian in the new million dollar city library. Miss Sowers is supervisor of school libraries in Rowan County. Miss Eller is worliing in the Duke Univcrsit ' Library, and is reviewing books for the Snturclaii Revlezo of Lltenttui-f. True to their bookish leanings, these ladies presented Christopher Morley ' s The Haunted Booksliop. Though arguing politics with Judge R. K. Shaver of tlie United States Federal Court, the Hon. Clyde Blackmon, one time assistant librarian at Catawba College, jilaced the scene almost immediatelj ' . Dr. Levens interrupted the charades to read some messages from the absent members. There was a cabli gram from Miss Lena Boley, Miss Mabel McKnight, and Mi.ss Aileen Johnson, who are sjieiiding tiieir sabbatical } ' car in an Italian villa in Florence, Italj ' . They sent greetings and pledged undying allegiance to Catawba College and the Class of ' 31. i [ -)4 © JLl S E M Hon. Hubert Fleming, United States Ambassador to England, cabled that diplomatic difficidties had prevented his arriving in time for the reunion, but he planned to make a trip to the States soon. Edward Pettigrew, modern novelist and dramatist, who is living in Paris, cabled that he had dedicated his latest drama to the Class of ' 31. Claire MeCanless telephoned from the country club where she was attending a dinner dance, to invite the class out to her home for a sunrise breakfast. Elaine Lau Brown, who is in China with her husband, a missionary from the Reformed Church, cabled congratulations. She also informed the class that Miss Alma Brown, who, for the past five years, has been teaching Home Economics in a mission school in Japan, has been kidnaped and carried off to the Imperial Palace to plan delectable meals for the royal household. Alice Snook and Kathleen Lopp wired greetings from Hollywood, California, where they are employed as costume designers by Paramount, Inc. The reading of the messages was interrupted by the arrival of Charles Warlick, Manager of the New York Branch of the Family Shoe Store, and William Thomas, Electrical Engineer, who came by airplane from New York. They brought a message from Dr. Nevin Stamm and Rev. Fred Lewder, who are conducting evangelical services in Chicago, and who were, there- fore, unable to attend the reunion. Evelyn McQuage, Director of Pliysical Education for girls at Catawba College, and Miles Edwards, superintendent of schools in Catawba County, attracted attention to a corner of the room where they were carrying on a heated discussion as to the best methods of disciplining intractable students. Harold Readier, Professor of History at Stanford University, Helen Beaver, Professor of English at Catawba College, and Hazel Miller, Principal of the Salisbury Primary Schools, volunteered to act as judges in a debate to be given at the next meeting of the class. Norman Hedrick, Superintendent of the Lexington Schools, and Ella Holbrook, Dean of Women at Catawba College, volunteered to assist in the debate. Kathryn Raney, who is doing settlement work, and Rebecca Julian, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company nurse for the Salisbury district, signified their intention of leaving soon to go on a slumming party. Miss Elizabeth Fisher, noted concert pianist and organist delighted tlie group with several splendid renditions of tlie great masters Ciiopin, Hadyn, and Mozart. As the guests were leaving, a message was received from Carl Linn, who is in the Salisbury Hospital recovering from injuries received when liis monoplane, The Helena, crashed early yesterday morning. Then the guests dispersed, bringing to a close one of tlie niost scintillating affairs of Salisbury ' s social season. This city is indeed honored that tlie Class of ' 31, the most Ulustrious ever graduated from Catawba, chose to hold its annual reunion in this metropolis.

[55] Itfe % s Senior Class History TLJISTORY never repeats itself, what is past is gone; so our pioneer days have come and ■ - - - gone all too soon, leaving engraved upon our hearts and minds a host of sacred memories. These four eventful years have not been filled entirely witii pleasure, and tliere have been many tasks, all of which we cherish now as we recall them. We came here in the fall of ' 28, ninety-two valiant pioneers or, perhaps we should say, Freshmen, for never had such a typical body of Freshmen graced these halls. We had con- siderable trouble trying to distinguish between Senior and Frosh courses, but after having been here several weeks, we learned to conduct ourselves to our respective classes. The Tom-Tom was our one sacred possession, the whole of which we faithfully and diligently committed to memory. It is not to he doubted that the Sophomore class did everything in their ] ower to make life miserable for us, and in tlieir attempt succeeded remarkably well. All these trials and tribulations imposed upon us by our high and mighty overlords soon passed, however, and we suddenly found ourselves in an entirely different sphere. As sopbistocated Sophomores we returned to the campus feeling as though we were really a part of Catawba, and we did not hesitate in making the campus life most enjoyable for our openminded and obedient under-classmen. As we progressed in knowledge and wisdom we observed many changes on the campus. The Brodbeck Conservatory of Music was erected, followed by Pine Knot Faculty Apartments. We as a class were contributing our share to the progress of our college even though in a very modest fashion as yet. Our Junior year was a much more eventful one. A great deal of that old pet ego began to slowly diminish by degrees. We had approached the place in our career where we realized that ours was a great and noble purjjose; our Alma Mater instead of being just an ajiprojiriate place to assemble for mental exercise, was becoming something divinely real to us. As Soj ho- mores we had taken part in the different organizations and functions more from our own conceit than from a love of our college. Turn back a few pages if you will and see pioneers from this class as outstanding assets not only in the Blue Masque, in both literary societies, in the ministerial band, but certainly as husky athletes as well as leaders in all the other important affairs of the campus. Turn once again and view the last chapter of our history as it has now been written. Our Senior year finally came, the realization of many fond hopes as well as the beginning of innumerable ambitions. An endless host of our achievements might be recorded, but fearing lest we should be reckoned slightly ostentatious, we only ask you to recall the progress and development of the system of Student Government as affected by our leaders, the Football squad to whom we contributed a captain, who led thern through a season undefeated. How unspeakably long seemed these four years ahead of us as pioneers, and yet how infinitely short the ' have proved themselves. Scarcely had our college days begun before they had passed and gone glimmering through the dreams of things that were. So ends this brief chapter of our career at Catawba. What is jiast is merely the prologue for this grouji of players — the Class of ' 31. Ours is the undenied obligation, now that we are about to leave these sacred halls, to strive toward the realization of tlie as])irations engraved upon our hearts, always to carry high and aloft the noble ideals for wliich our Alma Mater stands. Not until then would we dare consider our liistory well begun. Helen BeaveRj Clasn Historian. JQ S E iM i © . M miim. .

Milli rvi ] I) 3tS iM Junior Class Poem SOMETIMES ill the calm of fvuntide, When rose tints flood the sky. We ' ll find that we will tliink and dream Of happy days gone by ; A college nestled in the hills — Our dreams rise through the haze, Of comrades, songs, and laugliter — Good old college days. There are friends we ' ve loved and trusted, There are battles we have won. There are scenes of rapturous splendor — The setting of the sun, The tall and stately pine trees All decked in sparkling white. Grey fleecy clouds at dawning, The beauty of the night. All these enhance Catawba And enrich our memories too — But out of dreams, realities Of things we ' ve yet to do ; And then we ' re glad to realize — And thankful from our heart That we may enjoy each other One more year, ere we must part. Peakl Maiishall (J - m m . i [72 1 e) Junior Class History i TF vou had chanced, some time during the day of September 12, 1928, to drop on 1 the campus of Catawba College, vou would have observed a host of youug boys and girls who had journeyed there, from many states, in search of knowledge. Among these eager students vou would have spied quite a few of us rather self-conscious, all- important looking individuals, wliom you would later learn to know as the I ' reshmen. Our feeling of importance did not last long however, for, as other Freshmen before us. we were immediatelv initiated into the events most popular to all ■ft-y ' ' - students We rather welcomed the little blue cap with a white I on the bill and a button on the top. It not only served to distinguish us from the other students but became an asset to some of us as far as looks were concerned. We were only too delighted to make our debut one day, when, at the order of the Sophomores, we appeared at classes without make-up. carrying umbrellas, and using pdlow cases as book satchels. Many agreeable remarks were also forthcoming when, by order ot the Senate, a few of us presented ourselves with little green ribbons to wear on our dinks. because, for some reason or other, we had forgotten to wear them at a certani time. In athletics we excelled and emerged victorious from a football tilt with the Sophomores. Our social program was marked by a Treasure Hunt, a welcome from the .Juniors, and by a farewell class picnic which brought the year to a close with a bang. The ne.xt fall we entered tlie Sophomore year with the expected Sophomore bravado. As wise fools our know-it-all attitude was in prominence and each was out for Freshman gore. We gave them a hilarious welcome which continued throughout the year; their ' discipline lacked no consideration on our part. Our attention,, however, was not entirely devoted to the Freshmen. We had wider and more varied interests than the previous year and began to take our rightful places in college activities. We believed that we were absolutely essential, and certainly the college must have felt our importance. The Sophomore-Senior Banquet was our most eventful celebration of the year. Its success proved the ability of which we had so often boasted. Our ' Junior year was entered into with a spirit of determination to carry on the responsibilities which befall students of two years ' college experience. With keen enjoyment, the task of editing the Swastika was undertaken. Leaders in other extra- curricular activities were found in Richard Blough. Edward Plitt, Alice Fisher, and Andrew Rader. We not only took pride in liaving Ida Buck chosen as the most intellectual girl at Catawba, but we also boast tlie college ' s most popular boy, Andrew Rader. Raymond Winters, too, won many laurels for the class through his excellent ability as a debater and orator. In the field of sports we contributed some of the brawniest athletes such as Bill Bost, Frederick Holsinger, Ralph Kesler. Ragland Kirehin, Andrew Rader, Edgar Vick, James Whitener, and Raymond Winters. As part of our social program the Junior-Senior Banquet was an outstanding affair. Truly the Junior Class is a class of great achievement. We realize that we have come, at last, to the goal, Seniorship, and the class is finding in its possession the foundation of a new and purposeful life. Anita L.

Ruth Wenner ' (£) [ S3 ] i Sophomore Class History IN the autumn of 1929 we, tlie class of ' 33, arrived at Catawba. Altliousli we knew nothing of the new life into which we came, we stepped, without licsitation. through the College doors. Our coming was not unnoticed ; the news soon spread aliroad. The Sophomores appeared with plans for getting acquainted; they intended to make us feel at home. Fortunately, yet strangely, we survived the treatment to which we were subjected. After the initiation, members of our class took tlieir places on the campus: they found fame on the gridiron, the track, the diamond, and on the court; they joined clubs and societies. While our Freshman caps became less and less becoming, the first semester drew to a close. We were rapidly hurled into the jaws of examinations, to escape through our own efforts. As we began our second semester without our badges, we felt like individuals. We were Collegians ! Last September, the Freshmen of ' 30 returned to Catawba — the Sophomores of ' 31, Instead of strangers we met friends; we knew and were known. We began, with the assurance peculiar to our class, to continue activities dropped the preceding spring. Effective and efficient plans for receiving the Freshmen were made; we welcomed them in a suitable manner. Before Christmas we entertained, as a class, for the first time at the Sophomore-Senior Banquet, Our lives as Sophomores will soon be ended; we arc about to become Juniors, As we view the future, where we .shall find service, the glamor of our second year fades. Heretofore, we have been marching slowly; now we realize that we shall gradually move to the head of the line. We shall become leaders to uphold the traditions of Catawba. With happiness we anticipate our last years in school. We proudly hail Alma Mater ! Evelyn Fowleu, Ili.tforiaii.

And so I speak — guided by the same sentiment that prompts a mother to cherish in writing the wonders of lier cliild, liecause I have something to say, and because even the Sopliomores must read witli interest the history of the Freslmiau Class. On September 1.5 we came, one hundred and four of us, smiling self-complacently and wondering mildly what the proper procedure should be if one wished to hide the fact that a college was an awe-filling structure and not a familiar building that might be treated with a surprising degree of nonchalance. Not being quite dumb enough to miss the meaning of sympathetic looks and frankly brutal smiles from our unknown Superiors, we knew it was useless to pretend that we were not a bit lonesome, a trifle afraid, and quite, quite, green. And so we entered our Freshman year, tilled witli excitement and determined to prove that green things grow. We soon learned our first lesson, that might is right, for the mighty Sophs ruled us with an iron hand. They firmly requested our presence at pep meetings, very kindly allowed us to run their errands and open the doors while they walked grandly through, and insisted that our mark of distinction, the Freshman dink, be worn at all times on the campus. And tlie grand parade of the boys, garbed in evening clothes, down the main street of our city will always be remembered as the long walk back. A few of us suffered the untold agonies of appearing before the Freshman Court for mis- demeanors and served sentences which ill became even undignified Freshmen. Then came the dawn ! Exams which came every six weeks were not quite like the monthly tests we had in liigh school, and mid-year exams meant tliat one semester was over. Low grades attested the fact tliat a number of us Ijad not yet learned the art of efficient cramming, but the lionor of our class was upheld by those who made tlie Honor Roll. However, after the semester examinations, we were privileged to emerge some- what from the jurisdiction of the Sopliomores and lay our dinks among the souvenirs. Feeling that our importance on the campus was now better established, we boldly boasted of six varsity football men, two varsity basketball men, and a goodly repre- sentation to all other s|)orts, both iutra-uniral and inter-eollegiate. We were also represented on the Pioneer Staif and were active in all phases of college life. And we beg you to take notice : the Freslimen grew in wisdom ! Now that exams are past and our Freshman year is over, we look to the glorious future when we may be numbered among the Sophomores. We pause to say with our president, Henry Allen, our vice president, Andy Appanaitis, our secretary, Katherine Rouzer, and our senate representative, Al Benny, We have fought a good fight — hut we haven ' t finished our course. We ' ve looked up when we felt ' down, ' and we intend to go on, and on, and on — and, to the best of our ability, m.ake the coming Freshman Class tremble before us.

At each monthly meeting a one-act play, selected, directed, staged, and acted by the students, is produced before the members of the association and faculty for criticism. The Blue Masque aims to uplift the individual by freeing tlie student from the conceit of self-consciousness and the blindness of ignorance to enable him to glimpse the great common heart of mankind, to set his heart-strings vibrating in response to those mighty overtones of joy and pain so that, reaching out in sympathy and understanding, he may uplift not only the drama but everything he touches.

I(u.si;ma.n Herman In the accompanying picture we note tlie mentors and managers of football for the season of 1930. Under the tutelage of Coacli Moran we have seen a scrappy eleven developed. Words would indeed express our thanks in a very trivial manner; we hope our spirit will give a mere semblance of our true appreciation. Assistant Chinn is to be commended for his work and cooperation. The first rudiments, necessar. - for a foundation, were taught by Chinn during coach ' s absence. The summary of acliie ements would not be complete without mentioning tlie managerial capabilities of Koseman and Herman. Tiiesc are the men who have made the Indians tlie pride of Catub. i (5 a [ 115 ] B Catawba ' s scrappy eleven to-date ! We are proud to say that our team was undefeated, winning eight games and tying one— a record of which we are certainlj ' proud. The line showed impenetrability when Elon and Guilford were held from scoring, and the goal seemed so close. The backfield displayed its strength by its thrilling passes and elusive runs. To the members of tlie team we offer our highest tribute.

To our departintr trapt,!!!! we can well say; You oame, you conquered, and now vou have gonte. An invincible player, always working hard, the half-mnte to Zaiengle, and did thev make a pair. Joe was one of the prettiest pass receivers on tine squad. We wish vnu the same hu-k in life that was with yuu in all the games. Joe. l OSS- ICESLER This is next year ' s captain and Catawlta ' s IiesI, utilitj- man, ilcsciihed hv Uncle Charlie as being the ugliest man that he ever saw and also the best tighter for a berth on the learn that hie ever i-oached Kesler is a hard running man in the backfield, a good general, an exceptional fnd. an invaluable guard and a death tackle, as well as a fair center man. Give him a niifnrm, and l«i? will make aiiv nuin ' s teau ' i because hie has the stufl ' which places men on ipams. ■■RKD WHITENEit A tien ' -headed centre, .sorrell-lopped. a mate to the new captain in ciimi)ar-iiig the color of haii-, certainlv added pep to his team. Red was in every play; he was a good tackier, and being a lanky guv he had the advantage that he could ivach the man without ditificulty. He was an accurate twirler of the ball and ktiew how to place his feet .so as to fool the alert opposition. Success, Red ; with one nuire veiir of fdfitball to play, you should be real good. BUD LINN Being the only man in history of football to be penalized for tackling too hard, liud is one of those little fullbacks in a world of football alone. He is a deadly facklei-, a hard line plungfer a consistent gainer, and a man of real Catawba spirit. Small in size but a giant in str ngth, he can take all his knocks and get up and hght back without flinching. Let Bud grab thle man with the ball and he will fall to the ground with n thud. Any relation to Jesso James. Bud ? ANDY APPANAITTS Hero is the man who found his way here from Illinois. He heard this was a lA ' aceful place and he wi-shed to escape the hum drum of Chic.-igo life. It was too monotonous. Nothing ever happened But he has mad« things happen since he has been here. Playing superb ball on the end po. ' i tion plavin- in every game and everv minute ot t-verv game, be certainlv deserves our b ' lckin- i ' ' i ' B ..m mtm. [ 117 I 1) h iM J MONK JULIAN Smiling Monk kept his grin after evL r.v play, regardless of wliethrer or not liis nose was driven into the ground or whether he had the pleasure of doing tlxe same for his opponent. Playing ' guard along with Husser, he did much for the scores of his team, even though the baoks got the credit for what he did. He wislies not praise, but we must admire him, and give him thanks for his consistent playing. JERRY HUSSER Thte alert little guard always on the lookout blocking plays and opening holes and always wise enough to keep his mustache short enough that the opposition could not get a hold onto it and drag him down for the ball. Playing an alert defensive and offensive gam ' e, he developed rapidly as a freshman, alwavs sacrificing his strength and his ability to give them the opportunity to shine while his deed was the unnoticed one. DANNY WITMER Danny was the cool and level-headed engineer who directed his team in faultless fashion the past leason Only a freshman, yet he made all-stale with his nifty, accurate arm which perfected many passes good for scores and filially victories. Whitiey, as he is called, certainly heaved a number of passes to Kesler. Robinson, Zaengle. and many of thie other m ' en who were in receiving condition. BILL EGLOFF This big and husky aggi-egation of two hundred pounds plus proved to be more than a hfndrance to hia opposing tine. Playing the position of tackle in a superb mnnnjer, he mowed down his enemies like the scythe cuts grass as he plowed through their line again and again to open gaps for his colleagues. When he carried the bnll in some of Moran ' s fake plays, Bill mad-e steady gains. There, and with the goods, is he. RAGS KIRCIilN A bit tougher than his nick-name suggests, and playing tackle witli Bill PJglofF, possessing an eye e-en more alert than th ' e wisest owl, can all be well said of this ma.n. He wa ' s regular and consistent, finding that the harder he played the better he did and the weaker his opponents became. An excellent tackier and hard runner is Kirchin. Moran made Kircliin a rcgutnr, becauw- he had tlie goods and was willing to work t-o improve them and become better. , .t A . i [118] e) jl B E iM GOLAX SAUFLEY Although possessing much less experience, being smallier than many of the men for the team, and fi. hting against keen competition, this lad never gave up the fight, and as a r,eward he was one of the few subs who won his letter, and one of the Thirteen who carried the major burden for Unc Moran. A boy with a true, willing heart, always ready to do the extra lap for his own good, was always out to practice on time. If his spirit could i enetrate the whole team, what a transformation there would be. LLOYD GOODMAN Little but loud, is the shortest and best description that can be given of this almost midget halfback. He is a clean player, a consistent man in practice, always thit re with his part of the job completed. More men like him would mean that Catawba would have a team perfectly irreproachable on tlie moral side, and practically undefeated on th e playing side. Mh -n like Goodman are sources of inspiration to all with whom he comes in contact. BILL WIXJDERMUTH Possessing a natural endowment for a wingman ' s position, and possessing so much weight that the scales even tnemble, he caused more than one smile to sweep over the face of the ambitious coach as he thought of what that lad would do in his sophomore year, let alone his other two years here. Bill works for his team on the field as wiell as off. He is onje of those who keeps training and always hopes that the Indians will bring home the bacon whether he ' is helping or not. GEORGE ZAENGLE He never told us what brand of vanishing cream he used, but he was there one minute and gone the next — over the goal line. George was as slick as an eel, eluding his would-be tackters in his usual thrilling and exciting side-stepping manner which has niever been paralled in the Little Seven con- ference, and according to many authorit-ative testimonies, has no equal in the entire state. GILMER ROBINSON Now introducing tlie famous personagie about whom a song hit has been written rec-ently; Gil Robinson, the Peanut Vender. from Spencer, North Carolina, Gil is fearied by all of the old North State men. and weU it is, for hie is known as the fellow who nails the ma-ti that h.e goes after. If he works as hard selling peanuts as he does for Uncle Charlie, we siee no reason why he should not retire in a few years. Stick in there, Peanut, we admire you, and evei y one loves you. Best of success. i (5 ■ A ■ [ iia J I) ilk Basketball Scores, 1930-31 Catawba 37 Catawba 15 Catawba 0 Catawba 26 Catawba 20 Catawba 29 Catawba 48 Catawba 38 Catawba 24 Catawba 27 Catawba 27 Ca tawba 29 Catawba 23 Catawba 38 Catawba 42 Catawba 25 Catawba 32 Catawba (j;i Catawba 24 Landis All Stars 7 Charlotte Y 27 Landis All Stars 10 High Point Y 25 Charlotte Y 31 High Point College 24 Kannapolis Y 25 Lenoir Rliyne 35 State Teachers College 30 Sue Bennett , ,24 Appalachian 25 Kings College A])ijalachian High Poijit Y Atlantic Cliristian College High Point College (luilt ' ord l.cnoir Hlij ' ne Cuilford 22 28 21 22 17 26 27 31 (§■ i]!lu r 1211 J i Q CARROLL EARNHARDT After wnrmiiig the bench diirins: his freshnmn venr. rurroli stepped out this year und obtained a regular pos ' ition nt the pivot place.

We are indeed reluctant to bid farewell to the best player ever here. GER ARD HUSSER This sturdy and speedly dynamo proved to be the plug of the iive-man machine.

In addition to having a very good eye for the basket, he is a fast floor man and a stumbline; block to many a forward. RALPH KESLER Pops is one of those slow, easy goin? players but always dependable for a good number of points. He is one of the best passers and shooters we have witnessed playing. WILLIAM VVILDERMUTH Bill the elongated freshman court performer, certainly did win his way by his clever shooting and agressive floor work. Indeed he kept his opponents guessing by his maneuvers. JAMES WHITENER Whether they play him at forward or at center, Red is at home. Despite several illnesses which kept him out part of the season, Red managed to remain ii mainstay of our quintet. DANIEL AVITMER Danny stepped right out of hie football togs and donned a basketball uniform; then he proceeded to show that hw could toss the basketball with as much accuracy as he could the pigskin. He has lots of possibility of developing into a hard-wood artist.
