The spirit of welcome was so sincere impressive feature of that reception was the pledge im the part f :ill the groups on the campus cooperation in all efforts which would promote the wholesomeness of our college life. I felt fri beginning that we were on a basis of common ideals ami aims. There arc always outstanding attitudes in every student group. They constitute the char: that group. I had heard fine things about the students of Catawba, and yon may imagine how was in learning to know you personally. After five months of life in your midst, it is my thai you arc characterized by three dominant atti hides, and it gives me pleasure to tell you wh a n] M i it of democracy which rates one at his real worth and eliminates false values, a fine spirit friendliness and happiness which makes living with you truly enjoyable, and should be plenty of fun in life, work is your real mission. We consider ourselves fortunate to he living ami working m your midst. Sincerely yours, Howard R.

Swastika To the Members of The Swastika Staff and of the Junior Class: I am glad to commend you for work that you have accomplished during the past year and to ex- tend to you my sincere good wishes for your future success. As a class you have shown ability and strength of character. I have watched you grow in class unity and college spirit, and I predict for your senior year greater development in character build- ing. Unless a student shows, on the completion of a four-year course in college, growth physically, mentally, morally, and spiritually, he has tailed to get the best things that a college has to offer. This is my wish for each of you: that you may find yourselves, and carry into your future life a real spirit of service, and take as your motto that of the Black Prince: lch dicn (I serve). W . Augusta L a n t z , Dean of Women. To write a message of felicitation to the editors of the Swastika and the Junior Class is not at all difficult. The Junior year in college is one of hope- fulness par excellence. The hard, uphill climbing required in the Freshman and Sophomore years is accomplished, and by standing on mental tiptoe, the completed course can be visualized. The high school spirit has undergone a great transformation, and the feeling of college-men and college-women now wells up in the soul. How fortunate it is that the Juniors are responsible for writing the Swastika. You will look in vain to find any crabbedness or pessimism in a book produced by them. Here we have youth- ful manhood and womanhood in whose dictionaries the word ' failure ' is not found. Such young men and young women are a sine qua n-on for Catawba ' s continued growth. Abundant blessings upon them. Allen K. Faust, Dean- of Men. ii - ' -P Page Seventeen ■ ' - ■ M. Whitener G. C. Ramsey C. E. Gray W. li. Ci II. I.. Kliie D. E. Faust C. C. Rio J. C. Hadli . Jenkins B.

To one whose work was her life, whose college was her home, whose students were her friends, we respectfully pay tribute. Miss Mary Frances Seymour was one of whom we must say, She has ' joined the choir invisible Of those immortal dead who live again In minds made better by their presence. ' She gave unceasingly of her time, means, and energy. No favor was too great for her to grant, no consideration was too small for her to give — to each and all. For us who knew and loved her no lines could more truly characterize her life than these: And sometimes the thing our life misses Helps more than the thing which it gets. For good lieth not in pursuing. Nor gaming of great nor of small, But just in doing, and doing As ive would be dona by, is all. Page Twenty-one 1 mxatB ituastiha (M si- Kh ?JU DR. ALLEN K. FAUST Upon entering the halls of Catawba College as Professor of Social Sciences, Dr. Allen K. Fausr endeared himself to all. and was immediately accepted as one of the foremost and best loved members of the facility ' . The class of 1932 in its Junior year was exceedingly fortunate in securing him as class adviser. Having proved of great assistance and inspiration, he was again chosen to serve the class in the same capacity during its Senior year. By virtue of his long years of experience both as educator and executive, he is thoroughly capable of guiding wisely and efficiently all the activities of the class. His intuitive under- standing and his actual experience and observation concerning human nature made him eminently qualified as an adviser in purely personal problems. The class of 1912. upon leaving Catawba College, feels a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation to its beloved friend and adviser. Dr. Allen K. Fa list, Page Twenty -six ? Y tuasttl J. Whiten eh F.

Ah, but a man ' s reach should exceed his grasp. Or what ' s a heaven tun ' How perfectly does this excerpt fit this di- minutive individual! ' Tis almost a true ex- emplification of Browning ' s philosophy : Not to achieve but to aspire is the noblest end. Throughout his collegiate career we have found this loyal supporter of Catawba behind every vital movement. Thus we predict for him throughout life: the man whose reach shall ex- ceed his grasp — the man with wisdom, courage, and honesty behind the screen directing and guiding those who are the visible actors only.

Such was the intellectual ability of F : rank that he found it necessary to attend college only three years. He left to enter a theological sem- inary, where he is preparing to enter the min- istry. Frank was a ' quiet chap. His infinite capacity for studying set him apart and marked him for a successful life. Always among the first in scholastic attainment, he yet found time to en- gage in the intramural sports and other activi- ties of the campus. He was always ready to do a lavor for a friend ALICE LAURA BOYD. A.B. EARL F. BREWER, A.B. GASTONIA. N. C. Weaver Junior College, 1; Y. W. C.

Alice is studious and lets nothing interfere with her work, not even fun and pleasure, though she finds time for them. too. Alice is very timid and modest, but as a friend she is every ready to lend a helping hand and to give words of encouragement to all. From Weaver College Alice came to our campus as a Sopho- more, and in two years Catawba is handing her her diploma. What more need we say to dis- play the merits of this friend of ours? NYACK.

If you should hear a peal of laughter and a loud Well. I ' ll declare. you may be quite sure that Rachel is near. Although most of the time she is laughing she has been known to have serious thoughts which really have value. We have even heard her say. Are you using your history book? Rachel is one of our most unusual girls — original ifi expression, staunch and plain spoken in her convictions. In spite of the. fact that she does have this take it or leave, jt style in her make-up, jshe is considered -by all very at- tractive ' , for. ywho does not love independence? IDA H. BUCK. A.I ' ,.

Better to attempt an analysis of the ancient Greek oracles than to attempt to analyze one of Catawba ' s most individual personages. Ida has the uncanny wisdom of a person much older and more experienced, the frankness of one who has unshakable faith in her own convictions, and a worldly poise unexcelled by those far ad- vanced in years. A striking personality indeed will win for Ida a place in her world. GRACIi BROWN, A.B. SALISBURY, N. C. - S ?.

Blessed is she with a deep, sincere friendship and loyalty to those whom she calls friend. Perhaps we judge Grace too harshly, but we find that she has left far too many unrequited suitors at ' Catawba. Happy, however, is she in her own sweet way. and with a happiness that is ever contagi- ous she is seen going about her work and play. Her quaint charm has won for her the best wishes of all Catawba. We predict for Grace a brighty and happy future filled with many suc- cesses. iCTi JAMES M. CASPER. JR., A.B. ELEANOR CORRIHER. B.S. in Music SALISBURY. N.

Jimmy is a cheerful sort of a fellow, ready to work and ready to play at the proper time for each. He has a quickness and alertness to perform his tasks — he was once a high-pressure salesman. A day-student was Jim, so we saw little of him after classes, except on the nights when a meeting of the Glee Club was scheduled. Never did he fail to lead and help the members of this organization to execute better programs — even if it meant that he had to carry the stand from Brodbeck Conservatory to the auditorium and back again after the rehearsal. By the same spirit that he has gained comrades will he climb the ladder of success. CHINA GROVE, N. C.

Introducing to you, our readers, one of our outstanding musicians. Many hours of hard work — pleasure it seems to her— did she spend in the conservatory, the stage for her successful acts. Eleanor doesn ' t fill the air with static but re- mains silent until someone tunes in for real con- versation. By her professors, she will be re- membered as a diligent and conscientious stu- dent; by her more intimate associates, as a kind helpmate, as a staunch friend, and a real influ- ence for the attainment of virtue.

Loyal, sincere, even-tempered, sympathetic- — ■ all these qualities go to make up Mrs. Cuthrell. Although she is rather reserved, those who know her have found that she is always a good sport. Mrs. Cuthrell was a great gift coming to us her senior year, and we are very sorry she couldn ' t join us as a frcshic. Her musical talent has made her outstanding, and we know that she will gain for herself a place in the musical world. CHINA GROVE, N. C. Y, V. C. A., 1, 2, .

However, in the time that she did grace our campus, she established herself as a rare good sport, not too serious, not too gay, and every ready for play. She was unable to spend the entirety of her Senior year with us, Molly, we do hope that your health will not hinder you from attaining the heights which you are most certainly destined to scale!

Sweet, twenty and married ! In the spring this young lady ' s fancy turned to thoughts of love, so she chose to leave us and take up her abode with loved ones near the old home- stead in Pennsylvania. No better companion and friend ever trod the earth than Ruby. Just so quiet and un- pretentious: then, just so jubilant and mis- chievous was this classmate of ours. And we realize exactly why this personality made up of such complexities, which so enticed us, could not be forgotten nor relinquished by that lucky man. May you live happily ever after — this is the benediction upon the lips of those you ' ve left at your Alma Mater. = K J Swastika inllG EDWARD ENGLISH, B.S. in Business Administration MOCKSVILLE. N.

To tell all we know about Edward English would be interesting, but to tell all we don ' t know about hirn would be fascinating.

Commanding the respect and admiration of all of us, Dwight ' s calmness, efficiency, and utter disregard for self have promulgated an influence exceeded by few students. D wight is all that a friend and classmate should be; he excels in scholastic ability ; he serves his class and his school with a steadfast desire for the right; he enters into social life with a smile; and when music is mentioned, Dwight is sitting on top of the world — for it is there that he is at his best.

Sally, as she is known on the campus, prop- erly and deservedly received the honor of being chosen the best all-round senior girl.

When Tom decided that the little ole home- town college was the one for him he gave us Ca taw bans a break which we know those Blue Devils coveted — especially the fair co- eds.

How one who has, unlike many of his contemporaries, the privilege to choose his devotees can abstain from such selection is more than we can see. But that ' s just - Tom, and we like him for it.

For one who has been at Catawba only one year, Nevin is exceedingly popular. He came to our campus in the fall and went quietly about making for himself a place in his class. Because of illness he was absent from classes for a long time. Here he is now making a come- back and getting his sheepskin at the appointed time. We ' ve found him a friend — one we can call upon whenever we need him. We ' ve found him an enthusiast for all school projects. We ' ve found him a student who can adjust himself to new situations and use them to his own advan- tage. We ' ve found him a thinker — an indi- vidual who can tell us things that aren ' t in books. i COY D. FRICK, AM. GRANITE QUARRY, N. C.

For any old thing at any old time Fred is always ready. He can have his good time in an old automobile or in chemistry lab. Judging from appearances Fred must have been a Boy Scout in his youth; he sees to it that he does his good deed daily. SPENCER, N. C.

Yes, she has so malicious a heart. She seems to do it rather well, too, for she plans to teach sci- ence in the near future. Flora has succeeded in gaining favor in the eyes of her professors, and we presume it is be- cause she always knows the correct tense of French verbs and has prepared her lessons to the nth degree. Though she is rather quiel and unassuming, she has a ready wit and (lie ability to have a jolly good time. In her departure from Catawba we lose a sincere friend and a willing worker.

That red hair indicates temper doesn ' t hold true in Patties case. We can ' t remember seeing her really mad. To us Panic means smiles — the cheerful, helpful kind, that make us know their owner is the friend indeed sort of girl. Pattie is just as efficient in handling kitchen cabinets and sewing machines as she is success- ful in making people happy. It ' s unnecessary to wish a girl like Pattie success; she can ' t miss it.

Prob- ably she thinks sunny dispositions make sunny kitchens. (Ah! ) Pauline says that her most favorite course at Catawba was practice house. She liked it because it was of such practical value. The sparkling stone that has recently been placed upon the third finger whispers of delight- ful secrets; but when we ask her about it, she simply smiles and smiles and smiles. EVELYN KETCHIE. A.B.

Evelyn is the ideal type of college girl who combines intelligence, good looks, and a pleas- ing personality. To one who does not know her she might seem quiet and reserved. Upon more intimate acquaintance one discovers in her the capability of creating some rare bits of hu- mor, and of saying the proper thing at the proper time. Evelyn ' s pleasing personality is just the asset needed to acquire friends, and once a friend she is always a friend. elsie Mcknight kiser, a.b. KANNAPOL1S, N. C. U -Rhyne College, 1, 2, Elsie, it would seem, has put one over on the rest of us. She decided last year that the joys of single-blessedness were not sufficient to merit her remaining in said state of bliss. Hence, she launched out upon the high sea of matri- mony. Elsie has proved by her success in every phase of work at Catawba that she is capable of any undertaking. Her readiness to help at all times and her spirit of cooperation have won for her a vast number of friends, FLAY SIDNEY RISER. A.B. JACOB F. KRAFT. A.B. KANNAPOLIS. N. C. Lenoir-Rhyne College. 1, 2. 3. Flay came to us this year from Lenoir Rtayne, bringing with him a sincere purpose, a willing heart, an open mind, and last, but not least, a member of the gentler sex. During his stay here he has been, in every sense of the word, a good student, a gentleman, and a real friend. Flay is capable and ambitious but not so full of such things that he makes life disagree- able for the rest of us. His unfailing good humor, coupled with an attractive personality, has combined to make him one of whom it can truthfully be said, of enemies he has none. We know that Flay will make a great suc- cess in life if he continues to press onward as he has done al Catawba. JOHNSTOWN, PA. Bine Masque, 1.2,.

She never fails to do, and do well, any- thing which she is called upon. Earnest, de- pendable, self-sacrificing — we wish there were more girls like Virginia. We often marvel at her alertness and vitality, and wonder how one mere individual can do so many things and be so many places at the same time.

She is not at all aggressive, but she is thoroughly capable in whatever duties she may have to perform. Although she is quiet and modest, her sweet- ness of character and her sincerity of heart have won for her numerous friends. Geneva is stu- dious and conscientious, a member of Catawba ' s only honor society, and will go far in her chosen career as a teacher. LENA LEWIS, A.B. PHILADELPHIA, PA.

Then, too, she possesses a stock of wit and humor. But lest you get the wrong impression and think Bill only light and fluffy, let us add that she is a good student and docs more than merely pass. HUGH I.YERLY, A.B. SALISBURY. N. C. Hugh is a rather quiet sort of chap, but that docs nor keep him from being an invaluable classmate and member of the student body. He is big-hearted, cheerful, and most of all, a good sport.

Wait a little, folks, here is Helen — one of our Salisbury girls. She may be small in stat- ure, but she certainly has an interesting per- sonality. We have known her for a very short time; however, we have found her a mixture of gayety and seriousness, ready to serve when opportunity calls. By the way. she is ahead of most of us. for she has already been out in the big world of experience. Helen, we hope you may steadily climb the ladder of success. LEWIS MYERS.

With all that knowl- edge of Home Economics, Addie will undoubt- edly make a fine mate for some young man. and we should like to prophesy a great future for her in that particular field.

Pete Winters — carefree, gay -spirited, always devoted to his chief interest. As an orator and a debater. Pete brought himself and his Alma Mater into the spotlight. Possessing a faculty for acting, he achieved the topmost rung of the dramatic ladder in Catawba. As a journalist, his pen set down reams of interesting and spicy material for Catawba ' s publicati ons. As Romeo he took Juliet every time from Paris. Bonne vie, Pete! T Mentor Cla£S Utetorp Classes may come and classes may go at Catawba, but never has there been, nor will there be, one quite like the class of ' 32. No other class will have spent four years exactly as we have spent ours nor done exactly the same things we have done in exactly the same way. We have experienced almost anything from wearing green ribbons on our dinks to having our Dean tactfully drag us out of automobiles on Sunday afternoons. We have been associated with every organization on the campus, some of good repute, others not so good. As for many of the notable experiences we have had, we shall pass most of them in silence, for they are deep, dark secrets. Lonely we were when we entered the campus that rainy day. September 12. 1928. a host of green, home-loving, high school Seniors who had for some reason or other chosen Catawba for port. Our self-conscious, non-important look soon distinguished us as Freshmen, and from then on we found ourselves very diligently, faithfully, and conscientiously obeying the inno- cent commands of the Sophomores. They seemed to know just how to do everything and took great delight in placing us in all sorts of embarrassing positions. Being thus initiated into all events most popular to first-year students, we soon lost our feeling of importance. Never- theless, we got our revenge when one of the boys allowed his old Ford to be dressed up as a baby carriage for the circus parade and in it were wheeled some of our baby Freshmen. We won the prize, a pretty little loving cup. The pride of the class was also overwhelming when we beat the Sophomores in a football till. Our social program was marked by a Treasure Hunt, a welcome from the Juniors, and by a farewell class party which brought the year to a close with a bang. When nine months had passed we had become used to the strange and inconsistent ways of the collegiate world. With power to make the new students do as we commanded, there was a glory in being Sophomore bravos. As wise fools. our know-it-all attitude was in prom- inence and each was out for Freshman gore. We gave them a hilarious welcome which lasted throughout the year. Our attention, however, was not entirely devoted to these inexperienced children. We had wider and more varied interests than in the previous year and began to take our rightful places in the college activities. We believed that we were absolutely essential and that without us the college would have experienced a great depression. We certainly made our importance felt on the campus. The success of the Sophomore -Senior Banquet proved the ability of which we had so often boasted. Came September, 1930. We were Juniors with a spirit of determination to carry on the responsibilities which befall students of two years ' college experience. Though we had lost the influential prestige of the Sophomore, had not yet acquired the inspiring dignity of the Senior, to each of us this year was as important as any other. The class took great pride in its brawny athletes, fluent orators, honored campus leaders, and intellectual and popular students. With keen enjoyment the task of editing the SWASTIKA was undertaken. The Junior-Senior Banquet was the outstanding affair of our social program. Truly that Junior class was a class of great achievement. Our Senior year finally came, the realization of many fond hopes as well as the beginning of innumerable ambitions. Many events were crowded into this one short year. On campus day, dressed as pilots of the air. we very efficiently carried out the class motto. Not at the top, but climbing. May day for us was a happy affair. Some envied us. others seemed glad to be able to spend another year before venturing out into the world. Now. for us, the peak is reached; we are graduated. There were sad faces in the long line of black-robed men and women as we marched forth to receive our diplomas. Once again we are lonely. We are leaving our home of four years ' standing and going away. As we part. realizing chances for all to meet together again are few, in a sudden rush our minds visualize all of the things that have happened in these four years. Gratefully, admiringly, sadly, we leave our Alma Mater, with these things to constitute the memories we are to carry away with us, to comfort us in future years.

And yet we say, there ' s nothing in a name. Why a name at all? Why this name? Why that? There is always some kind of a name. Yet. there ' s nothing in a name? Last year at the Capitol Theatre, Madame Serene could tell correctly the important events of any person ' s past life, as well as the present and future, if she knew only that person ' s name. It has been said that there is connected with every name some hidden mvstery which has a distinct influence on char- acter. If this be true, who knows what a name may reveal or foretell? Per- haps some names imply intellect, such as Adolph and Ida; others, high attain- ments in athletics, such as Buzz and Poss ; some may intimate good at everything, such as Alice Correll and James Edgar William; some are only to make a character more jocose, such as Ralph Henry and Elsie Mandilla; some denote unique individuality — Jacob Franklin and Lena A.; popularity is al- ways linked with such names as Frances and Andy ; Peter was the spokes- man of the twelve, Pete is our great orator. After all, there may be some mysterious significance in a name, and the Seniors have come to believe that this is true. On the twenty-fourth day of October in the year one thousand, nine hun- dred and thirty-one the Seniors announced themselves The Pilots. The sym- bol of the class is the aeroplane, signifying that they are to direct their course through the air. Who knows but that a magic wand from the aerial realm may have touched their subconscious minds in influencing the Seniors to select such a name? At first we think it not at all unusual. Then, after some musing, we recognize a slight trace of significant strangeness: The Pilots — stately, daring, monarebs of the air, Pacic Sixty-two Ir ' fiv Swastika The name. The Pilots of the Air. suggests in itself an interpretation: One of the highest manifestations of modern mechanics is the aeroplane. The early years of the era of flying machines have been filled with amazing triumphs and discoveries. There is little comparison of the first flight of the frail biplane actually staying in air for a period of twelve seconds with the lone flight of the monoplane purring fearlessly over the perilous Atlantic. What a poignant contrast! Yet. it is not unlike that complete metamorphosis of that stupid, blundering, chicken-hearted Freshman class puzzled with insoluble prob- lems and grinning with fond hopes of gaining dignity and knowledge, to the Seniors — a distinct class characterized by illustrious individuality and the highest marks of excellence. The highest marks of excellence. ' 1 Yes. Consider the most distinguished students (geniuses) on the campus: the clever actors of the Blue Masque: the coloratura soloists of the College Chorus: the most fluent orators in the forensic activities; the editors of the student publications; the tal- ented playwrights: the leaders of the departmental clubs; the most skillful ath- letes; — most of them are the Seniors, (who. under the influence of their name. The Pilots, have attained greater distinction in these activities than have been possible with classes of previous years. ) The present offers little, for The Pilots have only begun to brave the unknown. Each day demands a more qualified pilot, for only the daring, the experienced, the expert, are ever allowed to pilot the great airships. First-rate craftsmanship and high aspirations are the only means to success, and the cham- pions of today arc those who have excelled the heroes of the yesterday. Dare we prophesy as to what the future will be for the qualified pilots ' Perhaps it is they who will introduce us to the warlike inhabitants of Mars or who will settle disputes about the existence of a Man in the Moon. Even now, among the thousands of droning man-made birds casting a huge shadow on the tiny ball, the Earth, the green and white planes are soaring highest. Where are they going? What is the goal? What shall be the feats of The Pilots of the Air? Motto and the Pilots ' answer: The Sky is the Limit! Page Sixty-three lena Lew is AAosV Individual. Jake KrafV Moj InAiv ' idaal.

During the year she has worked with us and has been so much a part of us that we almost think of her as another Junior. What would we have done without Miss Boley? Back of all our plans we knew we could find her — always ready with an original, clever, even witty idea. For advice on any class project we knew we could go to her. ( For all her ingenuity she is an extremely practical person. ) Wc could scarcely call Miss Boley entirely ours. She has belonged to all Catawba. Her colorful posters and novel programs have built up a new enthusiasm in college organizations. The truth of the whole matter comes to this: Miss Boley runs about, a-foot and a-Chev- rolet. helping us out, making us laugh, and keeping as optimistic. What would we do without Miss Boley?

Dr. David E.. as he is familiarly called, would most likely be taking his latest progeny for a walk. But with his characteristic smile, he would immediately relinquish the lesser duty for the greater and help the Sophomores with their difficulties. And the important thing is that he would give them sensible, worthwhile suggestions. Although he is a busy man, he has always had time to help the class that has selected him as its adviser. Because of his cheerful cooperation, his ever generous offer to be of service, and his policy of lair play at all times, we are glad to go to him with our problems, In stature he ' s small, but he ' s a big man to the Sophomores!

Miss Batte came to Catawba ' s campus at the same time we did, but, thank goodness, she was not in the same predicament. Having once been a freshman herself, she could sympathize with us, and we were often encouraged by her friendly boosts. We felt free to confess to her our embarrassments received at the hands of mischievous upper classmen, and she freely admin- istered consolation. We hope to make her proud of us and we hope to do justice to her in all our under- takings. We are very grateful to her for her splendid cooperation and guidance and wish herein lo express our deepest gratitude. Page F.iqhtu -eight ' - P 1 ■ ) A. Cui mas K. Arky B. BxHenderson H.

Busby Director The Blue Masque, dramatic organization of Catawba College, has achieved, since its inception, an enviable reputation for itself, both locally and throughout the State, having won the championship shield presented at the annual con- vention at the University of North Carolina by the North Carolina Dramatic Association every time the contest was entered. At each monthly meeting a one-act play, selected, directed, staged, and acted by the students is produced before the Association for its criticism. Twice yearly, public presentation of full-length plays are produced under the personal supervision of the director, Mrs. John C. Busby. The aim of the Blue Masque is to uplift the individual, to free him from self-consciousness, to develop a deep sense of artistic appreciation and a keener insight into the great common heart of mankind, and to instill sympathy and understanding of the great drama of Life as well as the drama of the stage.

The touchdown made by Milligan came in the second quarter when two of the Indians fumbled a bouncing punt. After they had touched it several times, Milligan recovered the ball on the Catawba 30-yard line. A series of drives and passes led to a touchdown and an extra point. Catawba rallied in the final period to drive down the field sixty yards and finally scored a touchdown. Appanaitis place-kicked a beauty to tie the score. The boys played good football at times and did well to tie the score. ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY 0— CATAWBA b The Indian offense clicked more smoothly than on the previous Saturday, and there was great improvement in the blocking and tackling. These conditions enabled the Indians to eke out a 6-0 win over a strong, experienced, and heavy Atlantic University eleven from Virginia Beach. The lone touchdown came in the final period as a result of a 40-yard pass, Witmer to Robinson, placing the ball on the visitors ' 15-yard line. After several line plays that netted no gain. Witmer again hurled the pigskin to Gil. ' ' who stood waiting on the goal line be- tween two Atlantic backs. He leaped into the air. pulled the ball down with him, and it was just another victory for Uncle Charlie and his Catawba Warriors. Atlantic was forced to make practically all her gains via the air. while the Indians smashed through the visitors ' line time after time for nice gains. Page One Hundred Eighteen wf- irlK KENTUCKY WESTERN 14 — CATAWBA 7 Uncle Charlie Moran ' s Catawba Indians went down to their first defeat in two seasons before the onslaught of the eleven from Western Kentucky Teachers ' College in Bowling Green, Kentucky. A trace of that indomitable spirit that sent the Praying Colonels of Centre Col- lege to fame years ago, showed itself again that day as the boys of the former Colonel coach fought like maddened tigers to stave off a defeat that seemed throughout the game to be inevitable. Coming back in the last quarter after Western had amassed a 14-point lead, the Indians fought their way to a touchdown, which sent a scare into Western as they again advanced the ball to within scoring distance. The game ended with the boys from Carolina in possession of the ball in midfield. Those outstanding in the Indian machine were Captain Kesler, Pearson, Robinson and Schlenger. PARRIS ISLAND MARINES 0— CATAWBA 13 The following Saturday saw the Indians back in the Shu ford Stadium, where they handed the strong and much heavier Parris Island Marine eleven their only defeat of the season. The two touchdowns came in the last part of the game as the result of long passes. Appanaitis scored both times by the end run method, after the ball had been advanced to scoring position. Catawba threatened to score early in the game, but was unable to make the necessary yardage. In spite of the fact that the soldiers presented a much heavier and more experienced aggregation, they were unable, due to the superior defensive tactics on the part of Catawba, to seriously threaten the Indian goal line. The entire Catawba team played a scrappy aggressive brand of ball that kept the visitors on the defensive throughout the contest. The work of the Catawba front line was a great help, both offensively and defensively. Page One Hundred Nineteen ? _. j APPALACHIAN 7 — CATAWBA 6 Following the Marine game. Catawba took her second defeat of the season at the hands of Appalachian State. The contest ' was one of the hardest fought of the entire season, and the visitors earned their one-point victory. A large home-coming day crowd witnessed the game. Catawba scored her touchdown before the game was hardly five minutes old when Whitey Witmer flipped a 40-yard pass to Gil Rob inson, who. racing ar top speed, caught the ball and continued ten more yards for a score. The Appalachian players returned to the game in the second half with renewed energy and determination. Twice Catawba rallied to throw the Mountaineers for a slight loss while they were within the five-yard line and gained possession of the ball, but on the third attempt, the boys from Boone punched the Catawba line for a touchdown and kicked goal to claim a one- point margin that was never equaled. The reams were evenly matched and both scores came as result of fumbles. Catawba was forced to the air to make all her gains because of the weight of the Appalachian forward wall. HIGH POINT 6— CATAWBA 7 The next Saturday saw Catawba play one of the most ragged football games in her history against High Point College. The game was played in Winston-Salem on a hard, dusty field. It was the first cold day of the season, and fumbles were plentiful. The game was an aerial battle from start to finish, but few of these passes found their marks. About midway in the second period. High Point took to the air in midfield to score a touchdown, when Reese hurled a short one to Cory, who raced through the entire Catawba team for 45 yards and a touchdown. The try for extra point failed. The Indians made their touchdown in the same period as a result of two long passes. Pearson made a beautiful catch for the score. Appy then made good use of his toe. sending the ball through the middle of the bars for the extra point. Robinson played a beautiful game at left end. while Appanaitis was the big shot in the Indians ' backficld. Page One Hundred TiCvnly w- KING COLLEGE 0— CATAWBA 16 Armistice Day found the Indians in Bristol, Va.-Tenn.. where they engaged in a gridiron contest with the King College eleven. They celebrated the day by defeating the latter by the score of 1 6-0. King put up a hard and determined fight, but a bewildering barrage of forward passes effectively mixed with running plays enabled Catawba to remain on the offensive throughout most of the game, and to decisively register a win. The Indians ' manager, who was in the press box, claims that his comrades scored two more touchdowns while the officials were sleeping. The Indians, in the persons of Witmer. Schlcnger. Robinson, and Pearson completed 13 out of 23 passes for a total gain of 220 yards. 105 yards were gained from line play, increasing Catawba ' s total yardage to 325, not to count Kesler ' s 60-yard run. PIEDMONT 7— CATAWBA 20 Three days later found the Catawba boys back, in Salisbury, lined up in war forma- tion against a strong Piedmont College eleven. Despite the fact that this was the second game for Moran ' s men that week, they manifested great strength as they turned their opponents back to the tune of 20-7. Piedmont was first to score early in the first quarter, when one of their men recovered a fumbled punt on the 34-yard line. Catawba came right back, tied the score by a sustained drive from the kick-off, and then proceeded to add two more touchdowns in the second and fourth periods and halted every Piedmont threat. -As usual, Catawba took to the air for most of her gains. The Indians registered ten first downs to the four for the visitors. Fumbles were numerous, and the game was rather slow because of the heat. Page One Hundred Twenty-one ,1 ' Fy, swastika i T , j LINCOLN-MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY 0— CATAWBA 39 The last home game of the season saw the Red Men of Catawba trounce the Lincoln- Memorial eleven 39-0. The score does not exactly indicate the power of the visitors, as they twice threatened the Indians ' goal line. However, with these two exceptions, the Blue and White team had things pretty much their own way. Early in the game they released a bewilder- ing passing attack that the boys from Tennessee were never able to stop. The playing of Captain Kesler. Witmer, Appanaitis, Schlenger, and Robinson, captain - elect for 1932, was outstanding in the Catawba offense, while Husser and Fowler played a good defensive game. Red Rosier, Red Whitener, and Rags Kirchin were playing their last home game, and all three of these lads played a beautiful game. LENOIR RHY ' Thanksgiving Day saw the Cataw old rivals, the Lenoir Rhync Bears, to 3,000 persons. Accurate passes, with too much for the Gurleymen and f Uncle Charlie Moran ' s charg- passes and chalked eleven first downs 10 , the Bears, ..d back their lonnng day crowd of ,t stragetic times, proved They completed 1 7 out of 2 3 The Mountain Bears were clearly outcussed and scored their two points when a punt by Appy was blocked and he was tackled behind the goal line for a safety. The entire Catawba team functioned smoothly and provided practically all the thrills for the crowd. The line play for the Indians was outstanding, while the backficld produced the necessary punch to carry the ball over the goal line.

The boys on the squad practiced hard for each game and went into every contest with the spirit that makes any team fight and win. The first game for the Blue and White was a fast and hard fought one with High Point on the home field. Neither team scored until two extra periods were played.

Ending the season in fine style against Guilford College, the Indians won a 2-0 victory.

Whitey Witmer and Jerry Husser, both Sophomores, tied for second place with 119 each, while Captain Gil Robinson came third with 107 points to his credit. With only six days of practice the Indians succeeded in downing High Point Y by the score of 36-16. Then they got into their bus and journeyed northward into Virginia where they defeated Massanutten Military Academy 26-23. which victory was followed by a 23-20 triumph over Bridgewater the next night. The Indians marched on into Pennsylvania to defeat Elizabeth- town 42-22. The following evening saw the Blue and White team trounce the strong Juaniata five 32-29, while on the following evening they were defeated by an experienced aggregation in Hanover, Pa., 37-25. Saturday, our team, already worn out from travel, went to New York City, where they suffered a 43-21 defeat at the hands of Savage College. Returning to Catawba after the Christmas holidays the Indians downed the Salisbury All Stars 30-26 in a practice game. Kannapolis ' Y was next to invade the Catawba camp and was turned back 23-16. A few days later the strong Charlotte Y five were forced to accept a 25-22 defeat. Then the trouble started. For some unknown reason the boys were not able to get together. Appalachian came here and defeated us 32-25. Charlotte Y took the Indians into camp, 41-26. The following day they went to Clinton, S. C where the strong team at the Presbyterian College. Coach Warner ' s Alma Mater, was handed its worst defeat in several seasons by the score 43-23. Lenoir Rhyne came to Salisbury, and, in a last minute rally, eked out a one-point win. We next played Appalachian State a return game and when the smoke cleared away, the score stood 22-21 in favor of Catawba. The Lenoir Rhyne Bears were taken into camp 25-18. Atlantic Christian College was next to suffer defeat at the hands of the Indians, the score being 41-25. The Guilford Quakers were met and defeated 30-29. The Indians gained revenge upon the High Point Panthers by downing them 32-20 in a return game played in Salisbury. Manager Rader took the boys to High Point, where they turned back the Y quintet to the tune of 39-21. And in the final game of the season Coach Harry Warner ' s charges rallied in the second half and showed fans and students some real basketball as they took the Guilford Quakers into camp. 28-23. Thus ended a very successful season. Page One Hundred Twenty-five First Row: Coach Davis. Zimmerman. Finch, Black, Frick, Manages Brantley.

Davis, won ten out of the fifteen-game program in 1931, the conference title being forfeited on the grounds that Catawba did not play the required number of conference games. The capable pitching of Harry Miller and Gene Peeler proved to be a large and valuable wheel in the Indian machine. However, had it not been for the wonderful support received from Doc Zimmerman. Gil Robinson, Joe Texas Black. Andy Appanaitis. and Captain Kirchin in the infield, and Poss Kesler, Kitty Finch, and Andy Rader in the outfield, the story would have been quite different. Handicapped by lack of practice, the squad opened the season by defeating the Parris Island Marine nine to the tune of 11-2, The next day they did the same thing, the score being 13-2. Both these games were played at Parris Island. The Blue and White then re- turned to Salisbury and handed the lads from the Mt. Pleasant Institute two defeats. The first game was won 3-2 and the last 2-1. The boys then journeyed over to Winston-Salem, where rhey were downed 8-1 by the professional team of that city. This defeat was soon followed by two more at the hands of the High Point Professional team. The scores were 7-17 and 7-11. Catawba then journeyed over to Hickory, where the Mountain Bears had their day. They white-washed us to the tune of 9-0. From here the Indians journeyed on info Ten- nessee to defeat the nine of the East Tennessee Teachers ' College by the score of 9-2. The next week saw the Indians in Bridgewater. Va.. where they divided things even with Bridge- ware College, winning one game and losing one. Then they returned home for a game with Appalachian, which ended in a forfeit because of the Boone coach not desiring to abide by the decision of the umpire. A game with Lenoir Rhyne was rained out. Then came the double-header with Guilford, which was to determine the winner of the North State Con- ference title. As all of you know, Catawba swept the Quakers aside to win both games and the title, thus completing a most successful season. With a few pitchers coming in this year. 1932. we should have another good team. The schedule for 1932 follows: BASEBALL SCHEDULE, 1932 March 29 — Parris Island, there. April 1 6 — Appalachian, here.
