He is constantly working toward the b uilding of the minds, the bodies, and the characters of the young men and women of this col- lege and this community. His in- terest extends beyond the reaches of the college into the activities of his church, his community, and his state. As a counselor to the students of Catawba he listens to their prob- lems and offers advice to them. He is respected by all that know him. We proudly dedicate this 1959 Sayakini to Mr. Marion M. Richards. Coach Richards watches his team go through weekly drills at the football field. D E D I CAT I O N MR. MARION M.

I also commend you upon vour good judgment in hav- ing chosen a liberal arts college and. of course. specifically Catawba College. I am confident that as the years pass, whether they be headlined with news of moon rockets, space transportation, or underwater sea lanes, you will be increasingly grateful for your basic training in the liberal arts, for I heartily agree with President Griswold of ale when he said: The purpose of the liberal arts is - - to awaken and develop intellectual and spirit- ual values in the individual before he enters upon his chosen career, so that he may bring lo that career the greatest possible assets of intelligence, resourcefulness, judgment and character. our successful completion, therefore, of your four years at Catawba College is not to be attest- ed to by anything as tangible as a diploma or anything as fleeting as a mass of standardized information. You have been successful in vour college experience only if it has helped you to develop those qualities of mind and heart that are basic to constructive thought, unselfish mo- tives and an ever growing dependence, not upon man or governments, but upon God. Please know that we shall always be interested in learning of your activities and your progress and that the welcome which awaited vou when you first matriculated at this institution will not milv remain constant but will progressively grow as time marches on. And do make it a habit to return to this campus and to your many friends year after year. I pray Cod ' s blessing upon you and upon the work which you will undertake. Most sincerely, A. R.

Anna ' s and Alherta ' s post-exam days were con- siderably taken up with typing the copy. Our business staff - - Tony, Bill, and Harry - - slaved to sell the most ads possible. Not being able to meet our budget, we appealed to the student body for support. The cost of each annual was in- creased by the vote of the students. As the summer came to a close and Catawba Indians returned to a rou- tine of classes, books and studv, the annual staff organized. With organ- ization came the selection of the dedicatee and the theme, as well as deciding on a cover. The work had begun.

' Streamlining the paper size from eight columns to an easy-to-handle tabloid type, the Pioneer increased its yearly issue output to twenty, chang- ed the arrangement of pages, and kept the stu- dents guessing as to whether the next issue would contain four or six pages (depending on the financial circumstances of the moment I . Along with the new size, the staff found it necessary to adjust to shorter news stories and features, and learned that when something had to he cut. it should be stale news. After several years of writing to fill space, the experienced staff members found it hard to condense, rather than expand, their writings. All the office staff learned to cut stories glee- fully, soon caught onto the new kind of make-up sheets, enjoyed working with the many new- headline types, and produced a well-balanced, right-to-the-point paper. A banner crop of freshmen added much talent to the staff. Returning members and other addi- tions were really indispensable. Things went relatively smooth, although each new issue seemed to fire up somebody to protest about an editorial or student letter. This made working on a newspaper interesting. Missing from previous years were the trips to Mocksville as the printing contract w r as moved to Salisbury. Replacing the weekly sixteen-mile jaunts were quick trips uptown and frantic EDITORIAL STAFF: Seated: Knox, Kirkland. Standing: Gable Sink Allen. SPORTS STAFF: Waller, Sink, Smeltzer.

Work on each issue began two w ' eeks prior to publication when the editors sent assignments to their writers. Actual office work commenced a week before the issue date when the staff Faithfuls gathered in the fourth-floor hang-out and started the tedious job of rewriting, typing. layout, and headlining. This job was completed on Mondays: copies were sent to the printers the same afternoon. Pictures and late stories were turned in on Tuesdays: proofs read on ednesdays. Students sometimes received their Pioneers on Friday afternoons, but the usual procedure saw 7 the circulation staff folding and distributing on Friday nights. By Saturday morning, the issue date, every student had received a copy (pro- vided his mail partner had not grabbed both copies I . At the end of the year, gold Pioneer Keys were awarded to staff members excelling in either die editorial or business fields. The ' new Pioneer is an experiment, certainly. And the results and response have been gratify- ing. NEWS STAFF: First Row: Peeler, Carpenter, Allen, Fenstermocher, Penn. Second Row: Bell, Culler, Clodfelter, Ressler, Wolfgang, von Kleist.

It is open to all students who have a sincere desire to be an integral part of it. Several in teresting programs were planned for the year with a special mission program on our foreign students and panel discussions on campus life and the Presbyterian faith. Other activities which they have sponsored include a kick-off social and a special project dur- ing Christmas. Made up primarily of Presbyterian students, the club meets twice monthly and aims to make the campus Christian and strengthen its faith in Jesus Christ.

The aim of the club is to create and stimulate wide, intelligent, and active participation in health, physical educational, and recreational activities; and to cooperate with the school, state, and nation in securing special information and improving teaching methods. After the Major Club ' s reorganization in the fall the members decided on three major projects for the year. The first of these was selling Kleenex to the dormitory students to raise money to finance the club ' s activities. The second was sponsoring dances after the home basketball games, and the third was selling tickets for the home basketball and baseball games.

Only this year have the track lettermen been invited. The aims of the club are to promote a closer relationship between varsity athletics, to instill principles of team- work and sportsmanship, to advance school spirit, to recognize Catawba ' s more outstanding athletes, and to advance the principles and ideals of college athletics. The club has been very successful in its special project for the past several years. Money is raised to meet some of the club ' s expenses by having the thirty-seven members sell tickets on a transistor radio. The lucky ticket-holder this year was presented the radio at half-time of the annual Turkey Day football game between Catawba and Lenoir Rhyne. A highlight of the year was the social outing for the club members and their friends. Other events of the year were the initiation of new members and the purchase of varsity jackets awarded annually to participants in Catawba ' s sports. The C jackets are bought for the members with the money raised through the sale of transistor radio tickets and the sale of goods at the concession stand during the basketball season.

Women ' s Athletic Association The purpose of the Women ' s Athletic Association is to promote physical efficiency and to develop good sportsmanship among; the students at Catawba College by fostering an interest in sports. All girls are automatically members of W.A.A., and to be considered an active member, a girl must earn one hundred points by participating in intramural activities. The Cabinet, which is the guiding body of the club, meets on alternate Mondays. W.A.A. ' s main interest throughout the year is the intramural sports program. Under the guidance of the fall, winter, and spring managers, teams from each of the three girls ' dormitories compete in hockey, basketball, and volleyball. Individual girls partic- ipate in badminton, ping-pong, tennis, and shutrleboard doubles, and in ping-pong and archery singles. Points are awarded to players according to how close they come to the finals. After a girl has achieved five hundred points, she is awarded a W.A.A. pin: one thousand points, a W.A.A. sweat-shirt; one thousand five hundred points, a large C ; and two thousand points, a W.A.A. blazer. : a $v The girls try hard to get the ball down to the goal. The girls have a pre-game contab with Miss Woodward giving last minute instructions. r- PAGE to A special project each year, and the big event of the year for W.A.A., is the planning and carrying-out of the May Day program, which is always colorful. Another special project is the sports night, held annually during the first few- weeks of school. Its basic purpose is to acquaint Freshman girl? with W.A.A. and its activities. It also serves to provide a night of fun and relaxation, which is needed after the tension of registration and getting started on the new year s schedule.

J PAGE 44 Footba As the 1958 Catawba football season began, hopes for a victorious year were a little dim for the Indians. The loss of several key players presented a real problem for head coach Clyde Biggers. With only a few weeks left before the season opened. Clyde Biggers. Assistant Coach Marion Richards, and Backfield Coach Harvey Stratton shaped the new- comers into a spirited varsity team. In the first game with Davidson the Tribesmen really outdid them- selves, but near the middle of the season in games with Appalachian and Elon the team appeared to be lacking unity. This slack period did not last for long, and soon the Indians were fired up and fighting again. At the end of the season the Indians had made an impressive record of five wins, three losses, and two ties. Indians Upset Wildcats, 22-17 The Catawba Indians scored a great moral victory by trampling the Davidson Wildcats in the first and perhaps most exciting game of the season. The Indians scored first as Sam Morrow shot through the Wildcat line for the touchdown. The Wildcats put their much pulicized professional offense to work and broke through for two quick touchdowns and a field goal for a 17-6 lead. Things were looking bad for the Indians until Morrow again took the ball and sped down the field for 59 yards and what appeared to be a touchdown. This score, however, was nullified because of a holding penalty. Then halfback Jean Worthington passed to end Ted Bates for Catawba ' s second score. Larry Horse Gilder- sleeve passed to Bates for a two-point conversion, and the half ended with a score of 17-14. The Indian- started off the second half with a bang as Bates received a pass thrown by quarterback Paul Folmar and carried the ball to the Davidson five. Morrow then carried the ball to the one yard line where Worthington took it and rushed over for the touchdown. Gildersleeve passed to fullback Oxendine for the second two-point conversion, and Catawba led 22-17. which was the final score in this surprise victory for Catawba. Catawba Tops Newberry, 24-14 Taking advantage of a fumble and a poor pass by .Newberry. Catawba chalked up its second victory of the season. At half-time the score was 6-0 in favor of Newberry. Newberry scored another touchdown and a two-point conversion within the first two minute- of the second half. Then it happened - Newberry fumbled the ball, and Catawba ' s Bill Browne recovered it on Newberry ' s five-yard line. Ra Oxendine smashed through for the first Catawba touchdown. Shortly afterwards Ox carried the ball over for the Indian- ' second -core. Through the goo. I work of Catawba ' s hard-hitting linesmen, the Indian- were soon again in -coring position. Quarter- back Ronnie Ball raced over for the Tribe ' - third touchdown. The two-poinl conversion attempt was successful, ami Catawba had conn- from behind a fourteen point deficit to win.

Quarterback Fred Peacock led the Tribe into scoring position just as the time ran out. and the score remained East Carolina 6. Catawba 0. Indians Tie Catamounts, 6-6 Homecomers to Catawba saw a nip-and-tuck game be- tween the evenly matched Catawba Indians and the Western Carolina Catamounts. All the scoring was done in the second period, with Catawba taking advantage of a poor Catamount punt to score and the Catamounts intercepting an Indian pass to tie up the ball game. Larry Horse Gilde.rslee.ve, Tony DiPaolo. and Blythe Gabriel were the most outstanding players of the game. Appalachian Defeats Catawba, 6-0 The Indians traveled to Boone to meet the Mountaineers in their Homecoming contest: however, the Tribe was unable to beat the Appalachian team. Neither team was up to par. both fumbled frequently, and there were many penalties. Appalachian took the second half kick- off and traveled 48 yards for the only touchdown of the game. Catawba flubbed its chance to tie up the contest by fumbling on the one-yard line in the final minute of the game. DiPaolo blocks for Gildersleeve at Catawba vs. Lenoir Rhyne during the First Quarter. r PAGE 46 Footba Indians Scalp Elon, 14-8 The Indians traveled to Elon and came home with a conference win. Sam Morrow ' s touchdown in the second quarter and Ronnie Ball ' s touchdown in the final period racked up a total of 14 points over Elon ' s 8 points. Catawba ' s playing in this game was not equal to previous and subsequent showings, but evidently Elon had even a worse day. Catawba Ties Presbyterian, 14-14 A good-looking Catawba Tribe met and tied the Pres- byterian team in a non-conference battle at Shuford Field. The determination to win shown by both teams made for an exciting footba ll game. Ronnie Ball. Indian quarterback, received the ball on a kick-off and ran 87 yards for Catawba ' s first touchdown. Then the Tribe took advantage of a Presbyterian fumble, and Morrow raced over for the second touchdown. Presbyterian also scored two touchdowns, and the game ended in a dead- lock. Indians Kill Terriers, 14-3 An alert Catawba team surprised the favored Wofford Terriers and came up with two touchdowns in the last five minutes of play to win 14-3. A field goal in the final period put Wofford ahead, and it looked as if Catawba was going to bite the dirt. The Indians took the ball on the 50 yard line, and quarterback Freddie Peacock threw a 49 yard pass to Jim Underwood who sped over for a touchdown. Only minutes later fullback Ray Oxendine intercepted a Wofford pass and ran 50 yards for a second and superfluous touchdown. Catawba Downs Guildford, 34-16 The Indians racked up an easy 34-16 win in an afternoon game against the Guilford Quakers. Scoring began in the second quarter. The accurate passing by Peacock put Catawba way ahead of the Quakers. When the Indian- hail chalked up a 28-0 lead. Coach Biggers put in a team made up mainly of freshmen. This freshman team scored one touchdown against the Quakers while the Quakers made two touchdowns against them. Out- standing players in the game were Tony DiPaolo. Ken Payne. Paul Mucke. and Jim Underwood. Bears Lick Indians, 22-0 The Lenoir Rhyne Bears defeated the Indians in the Traditional Turkey Bowl game on Thanksgiving after- noon. The determined Indians, out for revenge, put up a terrific fight but were unable to penetrate the tough Lenoir Rhyne defense and managed to mount only a mildly successful defense against Lenoir Rhyne ' s single- wing offense, unique in the North State Conference. At the end of the tir-t half the Bears were ahead 14-0. They scored again in the second half to wrap up the game. Although llic Indians lost, they played an outstanding game of football. Willi more determination than ever, the Indians are looking forward to next Thanksgiving when they will again go Bear hunting. This time they hope to come home with Bear meat.

Basketball This year ' s Catawba College basketball squad might well be termed the most unpredictable team partic- ipating in the North State Conference.

The Stetson Tournament saw Catawba victorious in both games by scalping Birmingham Southern 86-68. and Troy State 49-47. Conference play this season was opened against East PAGE 50 Carolina followed by Atlantic Christian and West Caro- lina. All three of these games found the Indians on the short end of the point column, only to he further trampled down by losing to High Point and Lenoir Rhyne. [ hen the tide turned I !

East Carolina, and Lenoir Rhyne damp- ened the Tribe ' s spirits of placing in the Conference by defeating them in three consecutive games.

No; as a matter of fact, baseball and spring are Indians of a feather here at Catawba as last year ' s season clearly shows. The 1958 edition of the Catawba College base- ball team was one of the most spirited ever produced by a Catawba coach. The players always had plenty of fight, during distressing times as well as pleasing ones. Head baseball coach. Harvey Stratton, did a fine job with his first baseball team since returning to his Alma Mater. With his direction the Indians finished in second place in the North State Conference. The Indians played a total of twenty games, of which sixteen were conference competition. The powerful Tribe diamond men came so near to, and yet so far from, being conference champions. Elon crushed the team ' s hopes by handing Catawba a nerve-racking four to three defeat which clinched the championship for the Christians.

Under the able coaching of Professor Kenneth Acker- man, the Catawba College track team showed great potentialities during its second year. A definite team improvement can be seen in the results of the year: I he record was four meets won and three losses. With a deficit of eighteen points for each meet because Lining up for Cross Country against Wake Forest. Jim Park comes in First in the Cross Country, Catawba vs. Wake Forest. of the lack of a hurdler, two of the three meets lost found Catawba down by a margin of only five points. These figures show an undeniable team strength. The team often received first place honors in the high jump, quarter-mile. mile, and two-mile. High point man for the year was Jim Park. Jim is a very good distance runner and has won many honors for the team. Jim has never been beaten on the home course and has won many races on tracks of the opposition. Returning to the cinders this year were lettermen Jim Par k. Roby Deese, Linn Finger, Gary Sapiro. Tony Sipp, and Richard Dorn. Also bolstering the hopes of the cindermen is an outstanding group of freshmen, including Waylon Waldron. John Wagner. Richard DeVictor. Ken Briggs, and Marvin Smith. These new men have already turned in some excellent times and will certainly he a great asset in gaining future team W i V; DeVictor and Wagner participate in the State Meet in Raleigh. 1958 TRACK AND FIELD MEET RESULTS Catawba Opponents 98 High Point 53 106 Pfeiffer 24 63 Elon 68 58 Wake Forest 73 66 .

The performances of this very promising team, com- posed almost entirely of freshmen and sophomores, and having a hurdler, foretell many more track honors for Catawba.

PAGE 98 IN MEMORY In the passing, on February 6, 1959. of Dr. W. Augusta Lantz. Catawba College has lost one of its staunchest and most loyal friends, but has gained the sacred memory of a life given in service to others. Her name, her personality and her spirit are almost synonymous with Catawba College itself in the minds and hearts of all who knew her. No person ha ever been more dedicated or more devoted to an educational institution than was Dr. Lantz to this college. Man) nl our alumni who attended Catawba during the long period in which she served as Dean of Women will remember her a one of the guiding spirits, whose deep concern for the welfare of every student was ever reflected by her lovable personality made up of a mingling of firmness, gentleness, good humor, and selfless service. s an honorary member of the Board of Trustees of this institution, her interest in and her dream for Catawba College never waned. She was not only a constant source of inspiration but an ongoing source of aspiration directed toward making her beloved school an ever greater force of Christian culture and influence in the lives of all who claim Catawba College a- their lma Mater. Even in her hitler years, a- the weight of time took its toll of her frail physical self, her youthfulness of spirit and her buoyanc) of soul remained steadfast. Surely in this magnanimous friend, whose memory we shall ever cherish, we have one of tile most remarkable and unforgettable individuals in the long line of the saints who gave themselves with complete abandon In the task of helping youth to grow in stature of mind and heart and soul. The greatest monu- ment which we ma) build lo her memory is our personal devotion to her principles and precepts of everyday living. I ' M.I.
