His devotion to the develop- ment and advancement of the college is admired by all. We extend our gratitude and appreciation to one who is Catawba. DR. DAVID E. FAUST PROFESSOR OF RELIGION AND HISTORY President A. R. Keppel. LL. D. To My Good Friends of the 1955 Graduating Class, Believe me when I say that it becomes increasingly difficult year after year to say farewell to a group of college seniors who have completed their academic work and are about to stake new claims in new and strange lands. I believe this is true for two reasons: first, because I have become more conscious through the years of the many shortcomings of a so-called college education and of the very decided limitations of those of us who, although we attempt to give our best in terms of guidance and leader- ship, nevertheless fail so often in our task; and secondly, because it seems that year by fiw. ' d-, year the world in which we live presents ever more baffling problems, particularly for novices who by no choice of their own are suddenly catapulted into either a hot or cold war — a war which seemingly defies rhyme, reason or victory. And yet in my more reflective moments I am led to believe that your plight, if it be a plight, is not too different from that of every other outgoing group of college men and women in every other year or age. Any difference that may exist is to be found, I believe, only in the character of the specific problems that obtain at a particular time, rather than in the basic, psychological problem of the readjustment itself or the challenge which that new environment presents. In the light of such reasoning, my farewell word to you is not one of condolence and sympathy, but rather one of earnest congratulation, tinged with a bit of envy — envy of youth to be able to face and to solve these so-called insoluble problems which today confront our world. We shall miss you here at Catawba, and be assured we shall be thinking of you often. Thank you for all that you have done while in college which has made both you and Catawba richer. Please never lose contact with those of us who remain behind or with you r Alma Mater in particular. She will need you in the future even as she has needed you and you have needed her in the four years just ending. My very best wishes go with you and my standing invitation to call upon me when- ever you think 1 may be of assistance. 1 pray that God may ever guide you and that you may ever yield to His direction. Good luck and good-bye. Most sincerely, A. R. Keppel President Administration RAYMOND JENKINS Ph.D. Dean of Faculty DONALD C DEARBORN Ph.D. Dean of College ELISABETH R.

Together we have tried to give to you, the students, an annual that will recall for you the highlights and pleasant memories of the year past. In attempting to produce a different and more interesting book, we have tried a new arrangement and hope that it meets with your approval. We also hope you enjoy the large number of snapshots. I would personally like to thank the staff for their unceasing co-operation. Business Manager Lila Lee Watts has surmounted financial obstacles with unbeatable determination. Associate Editor Nancy Haithcock has struggled with posing group pictures with unending patience and has done all the other odd jobs necessary to put out an annual, and Barbara McPherson has typed cheerfully for endless hours. The other staff members have worked hard during the weeks of collecting ads, having individual pictures made, writing copy, and gathering information. I would like to thank Photographer Jim Livengood for the excellent pictures he took despite cold weather, constant rain, and continual re-scheduling. I would also like to mention that many of the snapshots were donated to the Sayakini by Miss Walker. Our thanks to her. We were always grateful for the advice and assistance given us by our advisors, Mrs. Wentz and Dr. Mears. To everyone who has had a part in the production of this, the 1955 Sayakini, I would like to say that I hope you have enjoyed the work as much as I have. It has been difficult, but very interesting, entertaining and rewarding. To everyone who will make this annual a part of their stay at Catawba, may I say I hope you like it!

Although this is not the most impressive record with which Catawba teams have ended a season, all those who were spectators can say that the Indians were a scrappy group. The most outstanding reason for the season ' s record was the number of injuries that riddled the team from pre-season practice until the last week of practice. Most of the season there were many members of the team on the sideline that would have been starters. However, the coaches and student body are proud of the 1954 squad. Tribe Trips Apprentice School, 26-0, In Opener Catawba ' s Indians clicking on the power-packed plunges of fullback Dick Smith rolled to an im- pressive 26-0 victory over Newport News Apprentice School in their opening game of the season at Shuford Field. Smith, leading offensive gainer for the Tribe last season, paved the way with his powerful plungings; back Les Swanner and fullback Dick Williams scored the other Indian touchdowns. The line play was paced by Johnny Powell and Buzzy Yarborough. Wofford Turns Back Indians, 33-19 The Wofford Terriers using a blocked kick, intercepted pass and a fumble for stepping stones defeated the Indians 33-19 at Spartan- burg, The Indians scored in the first, second, and final periods. They trailed the Terriers by .13-12 at the half, but Wofford tallied for three in the last half for the margin. The Indians got their score on tallies by Sisley, Nantz and Gardner. Wofford ' s Hussey had three TD ' s to his credit, backed up by Hazle and Taylor with one each. •u s 88 Newberry Edges Tribe, 13-8 Newberry College ' s fast-stepping Indians scored two quick touchdowns in the first period and then held on for a 13-8 victory over the Tribe in a non- conference gams. Ray of Newberry scored both of their touchdowns. Hal Carter trapped Ray for a safety and passed to Baker Hood to round out the Tribe scoring. East Carolina Beats Catawba, 26-7 Quarterback Gary Mattocks passed for two touch- downs and halfback Harold O ' Kelly dashed for two more to lead East Carolina to a convincing 26-7 victory over the Indians in a conference game. Carter passed to end Fred Sisley for Catawba ' s lone marker. Catawba ' s yardstick showed a better record than did East Carolina ' s in everything but yards passing, I 17 to 54. West Carolina Drops Tribe, 26-13 Western Carolina College defeated the Catawba Indians 26-13 in a conference game which ended in a free-for-all. The Indians hit pay-dirt twice in the last half on a pitch-out to Nantz and a line plunge by Dick Smith. Garrison scored three for WCTC, and Lewis had one. It was the first loss of the Indians to the Catamounts in six seasons. Apps Rally To Top Indians, 27-13 Appalachian State ' s Mountaineers fought back from a 13-0 deficit in the first period to beat Catawba by 27-13. The game was played between spasmodic rain, sleet and snow which became intense in the final frame. The Indians jumped ahead on scores by Swanner and Dick Smith but faltered in the second half. Elon Tops Indians, 36-12 The Indians lost their sixth game in a row to Elon College to the tune of 36-12. After a 13-6 lead at halftime the Christians began to march behind the running and scoring ability of backs Stauffenburg, Synder and Bradham, backed up by scores of Richards and Michaux. Carter ond Swanner had the two Indian scores. Presbyterian Rolls Over Indians, 33-13 Presbyterian College ' s Blue Hose exploded for four touchdowns in the last half to -grind out a 33-13 victory over the Indians and spoil the Homecoming Day. The Indians held the Hose to six points in the first half, but they came back with three TD ' s in the third period and one in the fourth to break up the game. Davidson Overpowers Tribe, 32-12 Davidson College ' s Wildcats, trailing by 1 2-0 at one time during the second period, roared back to hit pay-dirt four times in the last half and gained a 32- 1 2 victory over the scrappy, but tired Indians. The Indians showed some of their best football and boasted a 12-7 advantage at halfrime. Then David- son began to roll and marched to the victory. Les Swanner showed his ability as a consistent gainer for the Tribe. Indians Scalp Quaker, 33-7 The Catawba eleven gathered together a will and ability to win and applied it on Guilford to win their first loop game 33-7. Behind the brilliant play of Baker Hood, Bob McKelvey, Les Swanner and Connie Gardner, the Indians rolled up a most impressive victory. The Indians were behind only a few minutes at the start of the game when the Quakers scored their lone TD. Catawba Whips Lenoir Rhyne, 14-7 The Indians struck for two quick TD ' s in the first period and then relied on their smart defense to stop the Lenoir Rhyne Bears on Thanksgiving Day. Quarterback Harold Carter was the big man in scoring both Indian touchdowns on sneak plays. Les Swanner was the leading ground gainer for the Indians. Terrell Hall, who had been injured, turned in a fine defensive job in his last game for the Indians. Gaffey scored the lone touchdown for the Bears. £Ee± f ' i ? t °1 - . e - £ i %■ Jr-J 7 1 t s s - «.

This team had some of the required height for college basketball in centers Jim Bryant from Roanoke Rapids, N. C. and Jim Cline from Stanley, N. C. Both of these boys aided the Indians on the floor and under the backboards. Both boys are freshmen and Catawba fans should see a lot of basketball from them in the future. Even with new added height for the team, the consistent and snappy floor work of Ray Porter and Warren Summy was not overlooked. In these boys and veteran Jack Lyndon, Coach Ruth found his speed and playmakers. Porter and Summy were the Co-Captains for the Indians during the season. For reasons not too clear, the Indians just did not have the final push to come out of the season a conference winner. They were never extremely far behind their op- ponents, and often were ahead from the beginning. Yet they never seemed to get over the bump and win consistently. This year ' s team found many veterans returning as well as a lot of freshmen pros- pects. Porter, Summy, Roy Holland, Earl Lentz, Jack Lyndon, and Harold Carter all saw plenty of action on the hardwood for the Tribe. Bryant, Cline, Charlie Smith, Gene Fleming, and Sonny Clayton are a few of the frosh that aided the cause during the season. The only players that will be lost for next year ' s team will be Co-Captains Porter and Summy. Prospects for next year seem brighter than any coming season for several years. K Baseball With the return of spring and warm air came the spirit of the nation ' s most popular sport to the college campus. The crack of bat on ball could be heard all over the campus. The 1954 baseball squad, under the direction of Coaches Marion Richards and Dick Williams, found themselves in third place in the Western Division of the North State Conference. With ten veterans returning to form the core of the team, the Indians had a con- ference record of six wins against six losses. In all games they had eight wins against eight losses. Included in the winning column was a victory over the arch rival of Catawba, Lenoir Rhyne. The lineup for the majority of the season was as follows: Jack Snyder, first base; Hal Washam and Travis Stokes alternating at second; Kenny Brown at shortstop; Harvey Stratton at third; Clyde Taylor in left field; Bob Sowers in center; Earl Lentz in right field, but later moved in to do part-time catching chores; Paul Lee, catcher. A full mound staff included John Deal, Jesse Williams, Dean Sheetz, Fred Duncan, Bill Peeler, Bill Jurney, and A. M. Kiser. Dun- can, Deal, and Sheetz were the most called on hurlers for the Tribe. All did an excellent job throughout the season. The outlook for the 1955 team was rel- atively good except in the necessity for pitchers. Duncan and Williams were the only men that would return. The most called on reserves for the team were Bill Beach, Mike Randall, Vernon Sigmon and Al Brown. With twelve returnees the 1955 hopes for a good season were very high. 92 ffl VMbn Symbols of Life Co -Chiel s Nancy Haithcock Peggy Bernhardt Nancy Swanson Ann Jester Pat Hayes Mary Catherine Miller Ingle Cook Harold Blackwelder Tom Ward ' .;.
