This year ' s path has had many landmarks on it that can never be forgotten by those of us who have travelled over it. We all had 8 o ' clock classes, exams seemed to be more difficult, and the competition in bridge was greater. But in spite of all these obstacles we did have our pleasant memories — both Lenoir Rhyne and Appalachian were scalped by the Indians, the new library became a reality and no longer a dream on the horizon, and we had a glimpse of the campus covered with snow. Yes, this has really been a great year, and one that will always be remembered as more trails wind through Catawba. In order to make this year stand out in our memories, we give you the 1954 SAYAKINI.

WHISTON FRIEND, COUNSELOR, CHRISTIAN ..■■-.:■•■ ■■ President A. R. Keppel, LL.D. To the 1954 Graduates Dear Friends : I am certain that deep down in your hearts you approach your departure from Catawba College with mixed emotions. You are happy and relieved over having com- pleted your undergraduate course of study and anxious to begin the next lap of your life adventure, but you are also reluctant to write finis to the associations and happy experiences which you have enjoyed as members of the Catawba College fellowship. If this is the way you feel, I can only say that your reaction is normal and that we who remain here share it with you. But please remember that true friendships are never really severed and that although our paths of intimate association may veer far apart, yet the thoughts and memories of those college experiences together will ever keep us united in a common course. 10 You are now or will soon be members of that great body of folk which calls itself the Catawba College Alumni Association and as such, you have a right to feel a well deserved pride. May I venture the hope, however, that this pride is of a type that centers more in your Alma Mater for what it is and what is has meant to you, than in yourselves for having arrived. I say this because increasingly I am convinced that the real mark of an educated person is a feeling of humility rather than pride, a grow- ing personal conviction that he knows so little and that the great search for wisdom is lifelong. I hope this belief is yours today and that you may hold to it always. One of your number just said to me, I am planning to go into social service work, for in it I shall know that I am doing something for others. That thought represents a most worthy life philosophy. But to be sure, not all of you will be choosing this same vo- cation, and that is only as it should be. But all of you, no matter what your particular vocational leaning, should weigh your ultimate choice in the light of that selfsame serv- ice factor. For I can assure you that you will be happiest in that life work in which the major portion of your remuneration is a personal satisfaction which comes to you from the knowledge that you are serving your fellow beings. Please accept my heartiest good wishes for your future and know that I shall always be tremendously interested in your progress and in your happiness. Do not lose contact with Catawba College. Return often and maintain your interest and loyalty always. Most sincerely, A. R. Keppel President Administration Raymond Jenkins, Ph.D. Dean of Faculty and Professor of English Donald C.

The 1954 SAYAKINI staff has worked diligently to publish this edition with the hope that it will remind you of one of the greatest years you have known. This publication would not have been possible if it were not for the hard work and co-operation of the entire staff. Many long hours were spent making plans, tak- ing pictures, writing articles, soliciting ads, and figuring and refiguring the budget. All of this work was guided and directed by Mrs. Frances Wentz and Mr. Richard Mears, our advisors. On behalf of the staff I want to express to them our appreciation for their help. The group pictures were taken by Mr. William A. Parker, to whom we express our gratitude for the splendid work that he did. And to the swell kids who comprised the staff, I want to say thanks for the wonderful job that you did in preparation for this publication. This is your SAYAKINI, and I hope not just another book added to your col- lection. May it remind you of all that is Catawba.

SHERRILL QUINN KLUTTZ D. SMITH HOLT PEELER CRANE NANTZ LYERLY WHITMAN £4. 1953 Football Team Using the T-formation for their first time, this year ' s team finished in second place in the North State Conference. Although most of the players were unfamiliar with the new system installed by headcoach. Clyde Biggers. the team played a rough ten game schedule, in which they won four, lost five, and tied one of the games. The squad got off to a slow start, losing to V. M. I., but they improved steadily and beat the strong Lenoir-Rhyne opposition in their final game of the season. Bill England, Dick Smith. Terrell Hall. Johnny Powell, and Harvey Stratton were named to the All-Conference team: Co-Captain Harvey Stratton also received honorable mention. Little Ail-American and was named to the All-State team. Six seniors played their last game for the Indians at Lenoir-Rhyne on Thanksgiving Dav. The graduating seniors are Howard Crane, Bill England. Elbert Holt. Bill Kluttz. Bill Peeler. and Harvey Stratton. Indian? Lose Opener Catawba ' s opening game with V.M.I, resulted in a 44-0 defeat at the hands of the powerful Cadets. Johnny Mapp, a fleet halfback, was the sparkplug for the Cadets as he scored four times. One bright spot in Catawba ' s game was the passing of Paul Barnes who completed ten passes in eighteen attempts. Newberry Upsets Catawba Newberry upset Catawba by a score of 14-2. Catawba ' s two points were scored by guard -Johnny Powell, who blocked a kick near New- berry ' s goal resulting in a safety. Catawba ' s new T-formation showed much improvement over the V.M.I, game. Pirates E-dse Indians In Thriller This game was a moral victory for the Indians as they gave the powerful and heavily favored Eastern Carolina Pirates a close battle, losing by 13 to 6. The entire Indian team played great ball with Howard Crane outstanding with his rough blocking and tackling. Harvey Stratton scored Catawba ' s touchdown on an intercepted pass and a 46 yard runback through a broken field. 88 ■.-•■ . ■■•■■,• ■ ■ ■. Tribe Nips Western Carolina With the steady improvement of the T -forma- tion the Indians downed the Western Carolina Catamounts 13-12. Freshman Rodney Nantz led the team to victory from the quarterback station. He scored one of the touchdowns while Crane marked up the other one on a pass from Carter. Barnes converted for the extra point that de- cided the game. Indians Surprise Appalachian Catawba ' s improving: team came into the lime- light by upsetting the Mountaineers 14-13. Nantz scored once and Fred Sisley marked up the other on a pass from Les Swanner. Again it was the extra point booting that won the game with Barnes and Swanner coming through. The defen- sive play of the Indians stood out as they stopped the App ' s talented Shorty Gab- riel. Linebacker Stratton in- tercepted three stray passes as England, Powell, and Crane stopped the running attack. Catawba, Elon Tie 21 All In the fading minutes of the game Carter led the team 60 yards to the goal for the tying touchdown. Strat- ton kicked his third extra point of the night and the battle ended in a deadlock. This was a thrilling game as Elon, with its powerful and speedy halfback, John Piatt, gave the Tribe defense a busy night. England and Hall played outstanding ball in the line for Catawba. Catawba Loses To P. C. In a see-saw battle Presbyterian College nosed out Catawba 26-19, with a barrage of passes in the last minute of the game. Thirty seconds before, Catawba had tied the score 19 all. Scor- ing for Catawba during the contest were Holt, Smith, and Hood. Wofford Noses Catawba In Homecoming Tilt After scoring 14 points in the first half, Wof- ford ' s Terriers were unable to move the Tribe defense, and the game ended 14-6. The Indian tally came in the fourth quarter with Carter flipping a 20 yard pass to end Sisley. Terrell Hall and Bill England led the Catawba line in holding the Terriers scoreless in the second half. Indians Smash Guilford The Tribe, led by two Salisbury boys, Connie Gardner and Dick Smith, conquered Guilford 18-0. The first TD drive was led by Holt and Carter. The second tally was scored by Smith and it came as a result of a blocked kick by Bill Smith. In the third quarter Stratton intercepted a pass and later Connie Gardner scored on an end run. Peeler, England, and Crane played outstanding ball by holding the Quakers scoreless. Catawba Stops Lenoir-Rhyne Catawba ended the season by defeating Lenoir- Rhyne 14-0 in Hickory on Thanksgiving Day. Dick Smith and Terrell Hall scored the Indians ' two touchdowns. Hall ' s score came from a blocked kick, when he picked up the ball and ran 15 yards to score. 89 1954 Basketball Scores DATE OPPONENT WE OPPONENT Dec. 2 McCrary 52 67 5 Presbyterian 44 55 9 McCrary 56 71 11 Newberry 70 66 12 Presbyterian 34 55 14 Eastern Carolina 43 84 15 Atlantic Christian 65 88 Jan. 6 Newberry 82 68 9 High Point 77 73 13 Lenoir Rhyne 58 75 16 Elon 53 66 23 Appalachian 64 62 25 Eastern Carolina 54 63 27 Belmont Abbey 67 79 30 Elon 58 69 Feb. 3 Guilford 60 57 6 High Point 60 61 90 Bill McKaig Captain Catawba ' s 1954 basketball team, coached by Earl Ruth, had to depend on speed, rather than height in the games. How- ever, they were still unable to match their taller and more experienced opponents. Coach Ruth switched his men around con- sistently in order to find a winning com- bination. Captain Bill McKaig, a veteran star at Catawba, led the team with his steady all-round playing. At the end of the first half of the season the Indians had surprised many spectators by beating High Point, Appalachian, Guil- ford and Newberry. Although the Indianp were not expected to be contenders for the crown, they were holding down sixth place in the conference at the midway point. Ray Porter, Warren Summy, Jack Lyndon, Jack Procter, Wayne Beaver, Bill Irvin, Roy Holland, Earl Lentz, Curt Ed- wards, Harold Carter, and Bob Miller were the players seeing plenty of action. The only players that will be lost from this year ' s squad are Bill McKaig and Jack Procter. McKaig, who performed well for the Indians for the last four years, wall be hard for Coach Ruth to replace. With a large number of returnees, the prospects for next year should be brighter. - Baseball The 1953 baseball squad, under the direction of Coach Marion Richards, nailed down second place in the western division of the North State Conference. Only Lenoir-Rhyne, with its veteran lineup, was able to beat the Indians con- sistently. The Indians lineup was as follows for the majority of the season : Charlie Potts catching, Jim Luciana on first, Hal Washam at second, Harvey Stratton at third, and Kenny Brown as shortstop. Buzz Fortenberry, Steve Kostow, and Dave Hodge were in the outfield. Pitchers included John Deal, Bill Lippard, Russ Clark and Fred Duncan. Bob Sowers and Wayne Polyak, freshmen, were the club ' s most called on reserves. Potts, a senior playing his first year on the starting nine, was noted for his ability to handle the pitchers. Another outstanding new player whs Washam, who showed signs of being one of the team ' s big assets both as a fielder and a hitter. Veterans Stratton and Luciana saved many games with exceptional fielding. Stratton also lead the team in hitting. Brown, although not a hard hitter, ably handled the shortstop area. Fortenberry, Kostow, and Hodge played outstanding ball for the Indians. Kostow was noted for pounding homeruns, Fortenberry for his terrific line drives, while Hodge seemed to come through consistently by out- smarting the opposing pitcher. John Deal and Bill Lippard were the most consistent pitchers. Deal over- powered opposition with a blazing fast ball and sharp-breaking curve, while diminutive Lippard used tricky, well-con- trolled pitches. These two hurlers gave the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears some tough ball games. Duncan, a freshman, showed signs of becoming one of Catawba ' s best pitchers. Intramurals The intramural program provides op- portunities for each student to participate in athletic activities of his own choice, and is under the direction of the Depart- ment of Physical Education. Hunter Wells was intramural manager for all of the activities. The boys ' intramural program was highly successful on campus this year with a large number of students participating. Touch football, volleyball, basketball, ten- nis, horseshoes, and softball were the major sports scheduled. Section E of Salisbury Rowan Dormi- tory dominated the first half of the season. In the touch football championship game, E Section came out on top by beating B Section. Section E won the finals in the double elimination tournament by beating the Day Students ' team, and thus became volleyball champions. Jack Snyder was manager for Section E in both sports. 92 In Memoriam Gordon A. Kirkland The annals of 1953 recorded the passing of one of Catawba ' s most beloved faculty members, Coach Gordon Kirkland. The deep feeling for Coach Kirkland was exemplified by the manner in which those who knew and loved him sought to stay by his side through days of crisis during his extended illness. It was he who led the Catawba football team through the golden era of the forties. Certainly the athletic department will miss him for many years. He stood for what we all strive to achieve— play a good, hard game and play it well. 93 !
