LIBRARY of CATAWBA COLLEGE For Reference Not to be taken from this room 8. l _ 03 §WS 3r - 1 5 ii ■ .:-■ ' :■..:■ ■■ THE lished by the Junior Class of RAY STRUNK, Editor I NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-EIGHT Catawba College, Salisbury, N. C. RALPH HOLBROOK, Business Manager ■f r J 4 j R, V ? I Our Alma Mater has growing pains . The serenity of the old campus has disintegrated under the impact of contractors and an enlarged student body. The hustle and hustle of growth charge the atmosphere. To the intellectual and spirit- ual assets have been added the Salisbury Rowan Dormitory and a central healing plant. Catawba is not static! Shaken by the recent war the college has come back a larger and more powerful force in the molding of youth. Wherever one looks there has heen progress. Athletic circles recognize the superior quality of Indian forces. Individual and team honors are constantly received from the sports world. The many clubs and groups continue to work for international amity, spurred by the appeals of foreign speakers and the positive trend of national aid. Together with our leaders we may look proudly on a year of achievement which has en- larged Catawba ' s position on the national scene. 1378 .

Slagen It is with extreme pride and sincerity that we pay tribute to a man who, after having spent forty-four years in the field of education, heard and heeded the plea, We need you . He had seen his re- tirement effected only to have it interrupted by an urgent call to duty, and in characteristic spirit he responded. With humble grate- fulness we dedicate this volume to Mr. Howard E. Slagen, a loyal and efficient guide, teacher, and friend, whose life of devoted service is a continuing example of the highest virtues. agg DEDICATION Administration Dr. Alvin Robert Keppel President Through his constant efforts Catawba has not only obtained a higher status in the realm of national recognition, but Catawba has retained its traditional spirit and friendliness which is so characteristic of her. Mere words can neither express nor convey our appreciation to a most efficient guide and leader. mBu uroJ Dr. Raymond Jenkins Dean of the Faculty Dr. Donald C. Dearborn Dean of the College Professor William H. Blake Dean of Men Miss Elisabeth R. Scranton Dean of Women Upon your shoulders has heen placed the diffi- cult task of student and faculty administration.

Catawha College lost the services of a scholar: and students, present and future, lost a friend. During his brief career at Catawba, he impressed all who knew him by his constant activity — activity directed toward benefiting this institution and its students. Those who knew him as a professor recognized his intellectual ability and were challenged by him to improve their own minds. Those who sought his advice as a coun- sellor found him always interested and ready to aid them. The good that he accomplished as a scholar and a friend, and the spirit he displayed in accom- plishing this good, remain to benefit and encourage us. + 14 + 3n jfflemortam Wendell N. Ward Snatched from our midsl in the peak of virile manhood. Ace Ward will live on with us in never- fading memory. Time may heal all wounds, but time can never obliterate our memories of him. His pass- ing leaves a void in the lives of all who knew him. but our eomfort is in the knowledge that his life con- tinues although far from us. We have been inspired by associations with him. We are proud to have been called his friends. 15 gas ■■• 2 £21 Hi :• - 8c It ith all the wisdom of the ages We ' ve learned from bards and ancient sages, With hidden tears and wistful sighs.

Old records have been broken. New ones have been established. From with- in these days of great progressive develop- ment have come scores of memories — some pleasant, some sad. And we feel that it has been our duty to furnish you these few pages to aid in recalling the many memories of school days. Between the covers of The Sayakini of nineteen hundred and forty- eight, we have attempted to fulfill our duty and produce, in our own limited fashion, a record of your activities and achievements. Throughout future years these memories will remain priceless, and we sincerelv hope that the pleasant ones greatly overshadow the sad. And so, a final and parting word of thanks to those whose assistance made possible the publication of this book. THE STAFF Editor. Ray Strunk: Associate Editors. Alma Harwood, Johnny Ricken- backer.

L. Barnes Secretary France Craver Treasurer The Varsity Club, formerly the Monogram Club, is composed of those men who have earned a letter in a major sport and have undergone the specified initiation. In order to earn a letter, one must be a member of a varsity team and play in at least fifty per cent of the scheduled games. To be eligible to receive a blue sweater, which is presented by the college, a man must win a varsity letter two years. However, any man who earns a letter and gains admittance to the club by undergoing the prescribed initiation becomes automatically eligible for a white sweater. This sweater, which is presented by the Varsity Club, is now awarded to the eligible receiver in his Junior year. MEMBERS First Row: Greene.

Braun Faculty Advisor The Seymour Scientific Club was organized by the embryonic scientists of Catawba College as a refuge where students interested in the sciences could meet and talk without the incipient interest and interference of the rest of the people at the school. At their regular meetings the members of the club present original programs at which time they discuss topics of current interest. Each member is expected to contribute to at least one program during the course of the school year. Through these varied discussions, a clearer and more composite picture of the scientific field discloses itself to the mem bers and creates within them a strong interest in the problems which they will face as pathfinders of tomorrow.

V. M- l- ' s Kevdets. running their tricky T formation play almost perfectly, squeezed out a 13-6 win over the Redskins in late September to account for their only reversal of the year. Before and after the V. M. I. defeat, the Indians mauled six North State opponents and four outsiders to carry a ten won, one lost record witli them into the Tangerine tussle with Marshall ' s stout Greenies. The powerful Redskins, whom veteran skipper Kirkland early in the year called ' undoubtedly the greatest Catawba team I ever coached , broke a 0-0 deadlock with a fourth period touchdown against Marshall to make good on their second straight appearance in the Orlando. Florida, classic. Last year, the Tribe ran through an unbeaten Maryville. Tennessee, outfit 31-6. to help the baby Tangerine Buwl celebrate its first birthday. Redskin rooters, who saw their entire varsity named to North State A 11- Conference honors for the second straight year, yelled bloody murder when their great tackle, Ray Yagiello, got no better than a second-string post on the Little All -America team. Catawba players named M. L. Barnes, a great tackle all the way through. their most valuable player of the year. Fullback Lee Spears, the only Football player in North Carolina to be twice named The Athlete ..f the Week by the Greensboro Daily News, led the North State circa it in scoring with 67 points. Yagiello, who at the year ' s end accepted a fat oiler to play professional ball with the Los Angeles Rams of the All-American Conference, was the only Indian to gain a first-team berth on the All-Stale club. Substitute tackle. Clyde Biggcrs, had two big league pro clubs bidding for his services by the time the winter ' s snows came. The Indians rolled over a last quarter score against Presbyterian in mid -season to break a 58- year obi scoring record established by Yale University in the late 1880 ' s, and after that, weekly upped their new w orld figure another game. By the year ' s end, they had scored in their 77th consecutive game. Tin- Associated Press, in its annual rating of the nation ' s grid teams, placed the Indians 24th in the country. Coach Kirkland had seen Catav ha trains, playing under his guidance win 101 games. Redskins Rout Soldiers Speedster Bill Speacht scooted 39 ards down the sidelines seconds after the opening kick-off for a touchdown to start the Indians off on a 11-0 rout of the 82nd Airborne team of Fort Bragg. A few plays later tailback Harold Bowen pitched a short pass to Bill Greene, and the Tribe blocking back scampered 59 yards for the Indians ' second score. Bowen circled his own right end for five yards out for the third score shortly after the opening of the second qiiart?r, and Boyd THE SOUAD (Ace I Parker rammed through tackle from the four-yard marker to give the Redskins a commanding 20-0 advantage by resl-time. Parker started the s.cond half fireworks by slipping through tackle for a tally in the early moments of the third quarter. Lee Spears went through the middle from the eleven-yard si rip: ' [or tin- first of two fourth period scores, and Parker wrote finis to th ■ scoring Festivities by hurling a ' i eight-yard touchdown pass to sub wingback, Jack Ward. Lamar Dor ton and Spears booted one extra point each. Indians Nip Tough Terriers A game, aggressive U ' offord eleven put up a great right against the favored Tribe but gave up first and fourth period touchdowns that sewed up a 1-1-0 verdict for the Kirkland men. Spears threw an eight-yard toss to end Harlen (Tuck) Cudger for the Braves ' first score in the opening chapter, and Harold Bowen capped a long last period march by turning through tackle from the six for the final marker. Lamar Dor ton made good both extra point attempts. The Terriers, tutored by foi met University of Tennessee great Phil Dickens, puzzled the Redskins with their offensive patterns springing from their modified --f attack, but ne er serioush threatened to score. M. L. Barnes, star tackle of the Indians, had to sit out the contest on the bench with a bad slash over the right eye given him in a scrimmage drill the week before the tilt. Keydets Nose Out Redskins V. M. I., who had a year ago used its air might to turn back Cataw ba, swung over to the land side to register a pair of tallies and hand the Indians a 13-6 licking before 5.000 fans at Lexington.

It didn ' t take the near five thousand souls looking in on the crucial family tilt long to make up their minds as to which of the clubs Would be throwing victory parties at the final gun announcing the end of play in the long and much publicized biff jamboree. Bowen, a great passer, runner for the winners all the way, whipped out around end to score from the seven midway through the first quarter, and the Indians took a 7-0 lead when Lamar Dorton slammed a kick directly between the uprights. Fullback Lee Spears chugged over from the two early in the second stanza, and the Tribe was in front by a 14-0 count after Dorton had guided his second straight boot through the uprights. The stocky Lexington fullback wound up the night ' s scoring by hitting the middle from one yard out in the third period. Dorton drove another kick through, and the Indians were on the long end of a 21-0 count at the end. Barnes and end Paul Marklin played great ball in the Catawba forward wall. Catawba Smothers Catamounts Western Carolina ' s Catamounts, probably inspired by the last minute words from the lips of their cagey Coach Tom Young, a masterful pre-game lecturer, took the field and for something like ten minut es kept the Indians from pushing over a score. Then the Tribe ' s attack caught fire, and they began to follow ,i steady path to touchdown land. Spears bucked it over from the one for the Tribe ' s first marker, and Bowen added the second on a 21 -yard gallop around end. The ig a strong ground game, left the field with a lead over Appalachian at the half, but came ;i pair of last half markers and capture a Redskin co-captain sped 30 yards for number three in the third quarter, and Doti Baker, center, got in on the scoring fun by tallying a safety in the same period. Art Claar raced forty yards with a blocked kick for the first of three last period scores. Bobby Core flipped a pass to sub Hanker Don Kelly for still another, anil Bobby Bell, fleet scrub wingback, hugged in a kick in the last minutes of the game and healed down the sidelines on an 80-yard dash for the final marker. Lamar Dorton, having his biggest night of the war, booted six true kicks after touchdowns, Don Baker and Tuck Cudger were outstanding up front for the winners. Braves Overpower Mountaineers Catawba, ac slim onc-touclid back strong to push ovei 19-0 verdict before 9,000 rain-soaked fans at Winston-Salem. Fair-haired boy for the Indians was fullback Lee Spears, who ran over, through, and around the Mountaineers to pace Ins team to a win that all but sewed up league honors for them. After making a spectacular pass interception to set up the score, Spears breezed over from the one-foot line with just seconds remaining in the first half. The brilliant Spears brought in a pass from Bowen and then stepped oil the night ' s finest run for the second tally. Sub end Don Kelly threw himself in the way of an Appalachian pass and trucked nearly half the length of the field for the final score. Fred Fisher and Bob Donaldson did good work in the Catawba line. Indians Turn Back Christians For the second straight week the Indians capitalized on intercepted passes to run up a big score on a conference foe. This time it was Elon ' s Christians, who had to put up with the Tribe ' s offensive out -break. Blocking back Bill Greene, the unsung hero in the Redskins ' backfield the year long, hauled in a Christian heave and scooted 38 yards down the side lines to register one score, and guard Don Lambeth picked still another toss out of the air and scampered 32 yards to the one yard stripe before he was hauled down from behind.

Redskins Dump Strong Hose It took the Indians something like fifty-three minutes of savage knocking against the Presbyterian Blue Hose before they finally squeezed over the score that made nothing but has-been out of Yale ' s 58- year- old tally record. Fullback Lee Spears hurdled the P. C. line from one yard out to tally with seven minutes left to go, as a sellout Homecoming crowd, which stood and howled all the way through the final chapter, went crazy. It was the 73rd straight game in which the Indians had scored. The visiting Hose, 13-12 upset winners over the Tribe last year, gave the slightly favored Kirklandmen a terrific run for their money and stalled the Tribe once on the four yard and again on the six-inch line before Spears finally sailed over. Sophomore Bob Gore, taking over when tailback Harold Bowen was badly injured in the second quarter, did a masterful job. Rav Yagiello and Art Claar played brilliantly in the Catawba line. Tangerine Bowl olficials, who saw the Indians slaughter Marv- ville, Tennessee, in their New Year ' s clam bake last year, watched the Tribe nip the game Hose. Newberry Tribe Falls In Rain The Kirklandmen marked up their eighth win of the year by turning in an easy 39-0 win over a badly outclassed Newberry eleven on a rain -soaked turf. Lee Spears smashed over from the one for the first score early in the proceedings, and then tallied again from the same yard marker minutes later In get his team off to a fasl start. Bob Gore stepped 21 yards for the lasl of three first period scores. He passed 9 yards to Paul MarkMn fur the score that gave the Redskins a 26-0 half-time lead. Boyd Parker tripped over from the eleven early in the third quarter, and minutes later ended the night ' s scoring fireworks bv whipping a 23 yard scoring pitch to Jack Ward, sub back. Lamar Dorlon kicked three true after- touchdown kicks. Claude Adams, Don Kelly, and Jim Dickey, appearing in the game frequently in sub roles, did good work from their line positions. Quakers Bow In Thriller Catawba was given its first of two late season conference scares by a gallant, fighting Guilford Quaker eleven, that went to the dressing room at half-time locked in a 7-7 tie with the favored Braves and gave them a terrific battle all the way through. The Tribe, coming back with a rush in the second half, hung up a 20-14 nod. W ingback Bill Speacht electrified a hig crowd as it was just settling into seats by taking the opening kick-off and going all the way with it. All told, Speacht ' s breath-taking excursion measured 96 yards and it got the Tribe off to an early lead. Spears broke a 7-7 tie in the third quarter by cracking over from one yard out, and Lamar Dorton hit again on the extra-point just as he had after Speacht ' s great gallop. The Catawba fullback put an end to the Indian scoring by driving over from the one again, after a long Tribe march in the final quarter. The Quakers, making a battle of it to the final whistle, took to the air to set up a score in the closing minutes of the game. In racking up their 14-point total, the Quakers were becoming the first and only conference team able to penetrate the Tribe ' s goal.

I with it a Tan;;.-rin.- Bowl bid by edging out a fiery, lighting Lenoir Khync team, 6-0. But a sweet throwing halfback named Gene Miller ami a smashing fullback named Haywood Martin, his 192-pound frame packed with dynamite, paced a high-powered bear offensive attack that made it quite a battle for the 6.000 wide-eyed and screaming holiday fans assembled for the traditional Turkey Day meeting of the old rivals. A substantial 65 vard drive the first time the Indians had the ball that finally ended with Bill Speacht going 21 yards to a score on the old statue of liberty play actually wrote finis to the heated struggle. But the overflow throng in College Park at Hickory stayed on and they saw a spirited, terrific fight that probably out- did any other spectacle the North State offered its cash customers alt year long. The entire Catawba line played great ball in throwing back the Bears ' repeated efforts to score. Tribe Registers Bowl Win Catawba made its one serious scoring threat good to defeat a strong Marshall team 7-0 in the second annual Tangerine Bowl classic before a big crowd of slightly over 9,000 at Orlando, Florida, , iv Year ' s night. Fullback Lee Spears crashed over from the Thundering Herd s half-yard line with less than five minutes left to play to climax a brilliant defensive battle waged by two well-coached elevens. Coach Roy Straight ' s Marshall team displayed all the offensive fireworks and power it was supposed to possess, but the North Carolinians came out best in almost every department except rushing. In the end it was magnificent play of Catawba ' s line that told the story. This was particularly true in the case of Don Lambeth and Lester Gardner. Catawba ' s two great guards who almost personal- ly turned Marshall back on two menacing and deep penetrations ot the Indian wigwam territory.

The Tribe s 8-6 record in family squabbles placed it fourth at the end behind High Point. Appalachian, and Eastern Carolina, who came in one. two. three. The Redskins staged a great second half comeback to oust Lenoir Rhyne ' s tough Bears in the opening round of the annual league tournament at Elkin. but lost fire in the closing minutes of a semi-final tilt with mighty Appalachian and went out of the champion- ship running as a result of a 60-51 thumping dealt by the Boonemen. The Apps went on to take loop honors by turning back top-seeded High Point in the tourney finals. All told, the Indians won fifteen games and lost one less during the course of the year. For Coach Earl Ruth it was his second season as director of Catawba ' s basketball destinies, and fate wasn ' t much better to him than it had been in his first vear. 108 The likeable former University of North Carolina star got his men oil to a fast start and probably would have brought them in a little higher up in the standings had not rookie sensation Larry Graham, of Mt. Ulla. missed many of the late season affairs due to illness. A? it was. Graham, who was the Tribe ' s most consistent bucket-ringer the year long, earned a berth on the All-Conference club picked by coaches of the circuit. Outstanding in the tourney play were Co-Captains Jim falser and Charlie I Red I Richardson. Walser, the cool, rangy center, sparked the second half push that netted the first round win over Lenoir Rhyne. while Richardson gained himself a post on the All-Tourney team by turning in a brilliant floor job against the Bears. At the year ' s end three performers had played their last for Catawba. Other than Walser, they were forward Bob Van Hoy and guard Jim Latham. Skipper Ruth could find comfort when the winter ' s firing had ended in the thought that rookie stars Graham, Hal Wood. Bill Johnson, and Houston Black would be back for more play next season along with veteran standouts Harley Joseph, Bill Speacht. Richardson, and Paul Marklin.
