KEPPLX PRESIDENT To the Members of the Class of 1957 Dear friends: You are, or at least soon will be, graduates of a Christian liberal arts college - an institution of which you may justly be proud. And if this college and you have measured up to their mission, then the follow- ing statement is one which describes not only the typical liberal arts graduate but in effect describes you . Therefore, read it and heed it carefully and under standingly. The liberally educated man has convictions which are reasoned, although he cannot always prove them. He is tolerant about the beliefs of others because he respects sincerity and is not afraid of ideas. He has values and he can communicate them to others, not only by word but by example. His personal standards are high; nothing short of excellence wi ll satisfy him. But service to his society and to his God - not personal satisfaction alone - is the purpose of his excellence. If this be you , and I trust it is, then let me say to you that you face a glorious future, and I extend to you my heartiest congratulations and my very best wishes. You may be sure that we who remain here will greatly miss you and will always be interested in hearing about your progress and your achieve- ments. Please keep in touch with us by letter and by visit so that the values of our mutual influence may not end now, but may instead continue to steady us and to motivate us to ever higher levels of usefulness and service. May God be your Counselor and your Sustainer. Most sincerely, President Page 18 Dyer, Carpenter, Weaver, Nantz Senior Class Officers Rodney Nantz President Julian Carpenter Vice-President Maxine Weaver Secretary Eula Dyer Treasurer Page 19 Seniors William Fred Aaron A.B., Accounting Salisbury Accounting- Club 2, 3, 4; Advertising Club 3, 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4; Sayakini Staff 4; Seymour Scientific Club 1.

The Sayakini . . . 1957 Left to right: Bill Aaron, Harold Shelton, John Robinson, Glenn White, Lucy Henderson, Arthur Wilhelm, Phil Walsh, Barbara McKee, Dr. Mears, Frances Cox, Jerry Dees, Diann Maclnnis. The time is May 10 (or somewhere there- abouts) ; it is immediately after Chapel, and you are sitting (or perhaps standing or ly- ing) in the Student Union (or in the Canteen, or in your room, or at some strate- gic point on campus), hurriedly rushing through the 1957 edition of the Sayakini, trying to see how many times your picture appears between these hallowed covers. When you reach this spot in the book, pause awhile in reverent admiration of the valiant souls who gave their all for (quote) the Sayakini and dear old Catawba (long pause) . Think about Johnny Robinson, Harold Shelton, and Bill Aaron, pounding the pave- ments of Salisbury and vicinity, wearing out good shoe leather, in order to get advertise- ments to make this book (and your picture) possible. Devote a thought to Mr. Peter Cooper, who had the inclination to tear out his hair every time he saw one Jerry Dees approach, but who, stoic as he is, calmly awaited the inevitable phrase Pete, I just gotta have some more pictures. For Mrs. Bruce Wentz and Dr. Richard Mears, pause for a moment in silent prayer; they who were faced with the monumental task of proofreading this copy only three days before it was due at the printer ' s office, when they should have had at least two weeks, will appreciate it. You should also remember that Jim Livengood, struggling with a tyro who thought he knew what he wanted, took group pictures in the time in which a normal, well-adjusted photographer would have taken only one-half as man) ' , and then com- plained about being rushed. Phillip Walsh, Diann Maclnnis, Barbara McKee, Frances Cox, and Glenn White, who devoted them- selves to the cause, unmindful of pressing homework demands, and who worked day and night with untiring effort, with great loss of sleep, and under great mental stress ARTHUR WILHELM Assistant Editor JERRY DEES Editor-in-Chief to bring you your picture, also deserve your attention. Seriously, though, this book is the result of the combined efforts of the people whose names you see on this page. You may con- tinue! STAFF Jerry Dees Editor Arthur Wilhelm ....

This year they presented a special Chapel program as •well as a musical program for the pre-Christmas school banquet. Their repertoire was planned to appeal to a wide range of interest in the audience and included songs arranged for all types of voice groups from Broadway plays, as well as The Brahms Love-song Waltzes. Members are selected for their singing and music sight-reading abilities. The advisors of the group are Mr. and Mrs. Thomas M. Holt. Phi Epsilon All freshmen are familiar with the Orientation Course in the library and the members of Phi Epsilon who assist in that part of the program. This is one of the many contributions that this organization makes to the campus. Many of us also attended the open house the members held in Zartman Hall after the Thanksgiving football game. This club promotes through the individual members ' an interest in the welfare of the college and a desire for co-operation among the other campus groups and activities. Members are chosen from the Junior and Senior women on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service.

After jumping into first place in the loop race early in the season with a 5-1 record, the Tribesmen encountered a ready High Point nine, who knocked the Indians out of first place, a position they never regained. East Carolina ' s Pirates, with a fast finish, were the North State Champs. Fred Duncan, Hal Washam, and Gene Fleming were named on the All-Conference team. Duncan was the workhorse of the Tribe pitching staff, and upon graduation signed a contract with the Cincinnati Reds. Washam was a dependable second-sacker and could hit the long ball. Fleming, an outfielder-pitcher, will be depended upon a great deal for the 1957 season. The outlook for the ' 57 year seems to be the brightest in a great number of years. Captain Ron Hutchins heads a team which will indeed be a threat in the North State chase. With such pitchers as Jesse Williams, Tater Jones, Gene Fleming, George Schneider, and Taft McCoy, all returnees from last year ' s squad, the team is assured of dependable mound performances. Paul Lee, Bobby Rusher, Ron Hutchins, and Travis Stokes are dependable infielders while Bobby Butts and Fleming will help make up the outfield. Safe! Hal Washam slides safely in as fhe second-sacker waits patiently for the ball. .

The story was the same; the talented Bears were too much tor the hopeful Indians, and the final score was 28-0 in favor of Lenoir Rhyne. The win extended Lenoir Rhyne ' s undefeated string over a two year duration. The last time the Lutherans tasted defeat on the gridiron was on Thanksgiving Day, 1954, when the Tribe turned the trick, 14-7, at Shuford Field. Coach Clyde Biggers ' 1956 squad was led by its capable co-captains: Rodney Nantz, Gary Sherrill, and Dick Cassels. Nantz, a dependable half- back, was the team ' s leading scorer. Sherrill, a lineman, received the Capitol Theater Award as the most valuable player on the squad. Tackle Dick Cassels, an All-Stater, was drafted by the Washington Redskins at the end of the season. The team ' s overall record was 5-4-1, which included a three-touch- down margin over powerful W ' offord. The 1956 team was considered by many to be the finest team to represent Catawba since Coach Gordon Kirkland ' s 1947 Tangerine Bowl champions.

DAVIDSON TOPS TRIBE. 20-6 Blythe Gabriel just misses a Biacchi pass as David- son ' s quarterback, Belton, looks on. In a game played in Charlotte, the Southern Con- ference Wildcats were too much for their North State opponents as they built up a 14-0 halftime lead and held on to take the 20-6 verdict. J. T. Davis scored the lone Catawba six points on a brilliant 53-yard run. EASTERN CAROLINA BOW ' S TO INDIANS, 23-13 Willie Campagna picks up a gain as Bill Browne throws a key block. Staging a brilliant second-half comeback, the Tribe erased a 13-7 halftime deficit and went on to capture a hard-fought battle via the scoring of Rodney Nantz, Lou Biacchi. and Willie Campagna. Page 108 w) TRIBE DROPS WEST CAROLINA, 7-0 Lou Biacchi is tackled by a host of Western Carolina players after a short gain. Aided by a brilliant last minute goal line stand, the Indians won their second con- ference game of the season by turning back the fired up West Carolina team, 7-0, in a game which was played in the mud and fog of Shuford Field. CATAWBA WINS OVER APPS, 14-7 Co-captain Rodney Nantz picks up valuable yardage after taking an Appalachian punt deep in his own territory. Willie Campagna ' s nationally famous touchdown walk netted the men of Coach Biggers their third conference win in a row. Pete Stout scored the first six points in the 14-7 win.

Pete Stout is shown (top) scoring the first Catawba touchdown midway in the first period. Willie Campagna is shown in the center photo about to be trapped by two Presbyterian tacklers. J. T. Davis (bottom) scores the final six points after a smash over left guard. A 16-yard field goal attempt with one second remaining in the contest fell short and brought to an end the exciting tilt. Page 110 Gene Miller and his hot combo seem to be in fine form on the morning of Homecoming. CATAWABA UPENDS WOFFORD, 24-6 A two-touchdown underdog, the Catawba Indians took Wofford completely by surprise and handed them a 24-6 loss. The defeat was the worst suffered by the South Carolina team during the entire season. Rodney Nantz (at left) is pictured scoring one of his two touchdowns against the Terriers. sgm. w INDIANS ROLL OVER GUILFORD, 50-0 With seven Catawba players scoring eight touchdowns, the Indians completely routed the hapless Quakers from Guilford College, 50-0. The Tribe picked up a total of 640 total yards while holding the losers to less than 100. Willie Campagna shakes himself free from a would be Quaker tackier and goes for a long gain.
