Russell as a memorial o{ his long-continued faithfulness to Lenoir College and o tbe many personal kindnesses by wnicn ne made possible tbe education of struggling men and women Dallas Harvevj Russell D ALLAS HARVEY RUSSELL was born in Mecklenburg County, N. C , on the tenth day of January, 1855. He was just seven years old when his father died, while serving in the Confederate army. Being the oldest of three children, and the only son of his widowed mother, many of the duties and responsibilities of the home fell upon his boyish shoulders. With his father dead, the country generally ravaged by war, and the estate con- fiscated to pay security debts, there was neither time nor money for the education of children, and, no matter how great the desire for study, it must be stifled, and the oldest boy must support the family. Thus, under most adverse circumstances, with a brave and courageous heart, a deep sense of his responsibility, and a sustaining faith in God, he took up the battles of life, and, having gone forth as a Christian soldier, the Lord crowned his efforts with success. In 1871, the family moved to Caldwell County. Here, without money or credit, with only a blind mule, the youthful head of the household lived on rented land, until by dint of persistent labor and skillful economy he was able to purchase his own farm. At that time, logging was a large and profitable industry, in which he worked between crops. Thus he labored and saved until December, 1 89 1 , when he moved to the promising town of Hickory, and entered the mercantile business. His firm name is one of the oldest in town, and stands for absolute honesty and integrity in business; and that is synonomous with success. Very early in life, Mr. Russell took a large and active interest in religion and Christian education, as he had opportunity. Many churches in this section of the country either stand on land given by him, or owe their existence to his aid and encouragement, or gratefully enroll him as a contributor. While the sacrifices demanded for his own edu- cation were impossible, he has freely given of his time and means that others might enjoy advantages which he himself did not have. His own children were sent to Lenoir College, beginning with the first year of its opening at Hickory, and continuing — the one until graduation, and the other until ill health demanded withdrawal at the end of the Junior year. Many students of the college, finding themselves in financial straits, have turned to D. H. Russell in their extremity of need, and have found in him a helper and friend. Whenever called upon, he has contributed in large measure to the support of the college. His is the largest single contribution to the Yoder Science Hall, the opening of which this number of HACAWA commemorates. During her existence in Hickory, Lenoir College has always had in him a trusted friend and adviser. He loves the College, because he realizes its worth to the community and the church. He is large in sympathy — frank, prudent, and optimistic; and his consuming zeal manifests itself in a burning desire for the continued success of Lenoir College. Hence it will be seen that the subject of this sketch is a grad uate of the school of hard experience. He has developed three dominant traits, which have made him what he is. He has always tried to find and follow the path of duty and right, as he has been permitted to see it with the light of divine revelation, in spite of limited edu- cational advantages. He has always been fondly devoted to his family, and especially to his now aged and feeble mother, who lingers with him yet awhile deep in the twilight. Mr. Russell has never passed as much as three weeks at one time without seeing his mother, and in his whole strenuous life he has never passed more than three Sundays without visiting her to comfort and be comforted. Out of his many distressing experiences he has learned to feel a deep sympathy for those who are in need. The call of worthy need brings from him an immediate response. These traits are worthy of emulation by many at the present time, who excuse themselves from religious, filial, and charitable duties on account of the exhausting demands of the modern business world. His hosts of loyal friends join with the class of ' 14 in dedicating to him this number of HACAWA, with the hope that he may enjoy many prosperous years ol full and complete health and happiness, and, finally, hear from the Master whom he tries to serve, the gracious plaudit, Well done. .

Senior Class History Labor omnia vinc ' tt K TI C ' HAT is a college course? Is it merely a certain numbei ol hours ol work W to be done, a definite amount ol knowledge to be gained from texl books, or does it have a deeper meaning? The aim of a school course, as we have seen it, is to develop the ambitions and abilities of the student, to help him to find his life ' s work. College life may be termed a period of germination, where the fertile seed of the mind are afforded intellectual soil and conditions favorable to their natural growth. Believing that a sound mind can exist only in a sound body, we have supported athletics in a way calculated to develop the body as well as to afford amusement or pastime. As Freshmen, we were in the field in every form of athletics. Our efforts did not go unrewarded, for we won the class championship in the baseball department. Our class furnished four men to the baseball varsity, and contributed equally to football. When Sopho mores, we were again the school champions in athletics. Our class football team successfully engaged the united forces of the entire school. Football, the athletic hobby of our class, had been eliminated by the time that we were Juniors. Work in the class-rooms and Societies demanded so much of our time that we did not maintain the standard of previous years, though tennis still had its place among us, and one varsity player was from our number. As Seniors, the old spirit has returned, and we are again the proud champions in baseball, prouder than we were of the same distinction when Freshmen, because it was won with every member of the class in the field, there being just enough men to fill the positions. Ours is the first Senior class on record that has been able to wrest this honor from the greater numbers of the lower classes. IC During our four years at Lenoir College, we have not neglected track work and basket-ball ; but other important events of school life cause me to pass over these athletic victories, to speak of the greater and more serious victories in the Literary Societ:es and class-rooms. Every member of the class has taken an active part in the work of the Literary Societies, held the important offices, and served on the different anniversaries. Last year the Euronian and Chrestonian anniversaries were given entirely by members of this class. The distinctions that have been won by the class are as follows: The Art medal, the Scholarship medal, the Clapp Intercollegiate Orators ' medal, the Expression medal when Sophomores and again in the Junior year, the Chrestonian Debators ' medal, the Euronian Debators ' medal, the Junior Orators ' medal, and prizes for excellent class work and work in the Literary Societies. The class of nineteen-fourteen has furnished the stars in dramatic work through- out the four years of its history, its members having played leading parts in She Stoops to Conquer, The Merchant of Venice, The Fool ' s Revenge, ' ' As You Like It, The Iron Chest, and numerous minor plays. Concerning our attainments in the class-rooms, the record is too lengthy to quote here. We gladly refer you to the Book of Life, so accurately kept by Professor Patter- son, wherein our credits are safely preserved against that final day (Commencement), when each shall receive the reward for work well done. Our college work has awakened in each member ambitions; some are to be lawyers, some ministers, some farmers, some teachers, while others will pursue their school work further before taking up their life ' s work. — D. P. Whitley, Jr. «Z £ c ?L SENIOR SIGNATURES ' == Z 3CZ Prophecy of Senior Class P AIR LADY, why art thou so sad? Have thorns been mingled in your life, changing it from a happy pleasant dream? A weird spirit spoke to me thus. I was somewhat frightened, but he told me to have no fear, and assured me he was entirely harmless. I trusted him, and innocently told him just a few occurrences of my past life. He replied that he would narrate to me, if I so desired, a brief sketch of my former classmates at Lenoir College, if they were still in my mind. I was pleased, and told him it would be a great pleasure to know of them once again. I asked him eagerly of the President of the Senior Class, Mr. Fritz. He said, That noble young man always had a bright future in store for him. I know he had little sparkles of love deep in his heart during his school days at Lenoir College; but while in the Seminary, at Columbia, S. C, he fell deeply in love with a sweet lady active in all church work. She loved him equally as well, and he married her. Now he is preaching in a great northern city. Hundreds of people flock there to hear the honest, truthful words uttered from his lips. He added, And Mr. Arthur Huffman, who had been his colleague in the Seminary, is proclaiming the great Word to ignorant people in a mission church in a neighboring town. He is bringing souls daily into his little throng by his sentimental speeches. Maude came next in line, it seemed, I remembered quite distinctly her passionate desire to become a deaconess. Her desire was gratified, he told me. She had gone to Milwaukee immediately after finishing school at Lenoir; had taken up that course, and was now at the head of one of the greatest mother-houses of that State. She was a happy woman in administering to the sick and needy. Naturally, I asked him of Poodle. I remembered how sweet was the touch of this musician, and how passionately she loved music. He spoke quickly, She has accom- plished much in these few years. She studied with one of the best musicians of the day, and fortunately has won the honor of being a noted performer. She is constantly striving to climb higher, and hopes to succeed in mastering the greatest masterpieces of that art. Lastly, he said, That young fellow in South Carolina, whom she spoke of as Harry, at last won her promise to be his wife. One of her personal pleasures is to play for him often for hours in their peaceful home. The sketch of Dan and Nell was briefly spoken, they being lovers of the stage. Their talents running in the same channel, they delighted the world as star players in the great modern dramas. Eva and R. A. were then discussed. I was just a little surprised, although I was aware of their formal courtship while in school, but hardly thought it would result in a favorable match. They were located in a large business town in Alabama, following the popular profession of medicine. He had made himself quite famous in this profession. Ethel was brought to view next, who, I knew, had been one of the stars in the class. He said, She has become a great mathematician. She studied higher mathe- matics at Lenoir, took a special course at Johns Hopkins, and is now teaching this charm- ing study. Quickly then, he told me of Miss Lela, who received the degree of Master of Arts at Lenoir College. He said, She has won much fame in her brief career. She specialized in English, and is now at the head of the English department in a great Uni- versity in the South. She is constantly striving to reach the highest goal. Mr. Carpenter and Mr. Stuck were then spoken of in a very complimentary way, but briefly, they being talented professors in popular schools. They were honored and respected by their hundreds of scholars. I asked And what about Lillian? He continued, After leaving school, she prolonged her sludy of music, voice, and expression, and became quite accomplished in these talents. She has not made a continued practice of appearing before large crowds, and charming them with her voice, but it is a great personal pleasure. He added, She is now engaged to be married to a great New York business man in the near future. I fear she will come to the conclusion that she does not love him, a strange trait that she has always possessed. Next in question seemed to be Dave and Lawrence. He said, Lawrence always had a pleasant future before him, as he had excellent taste for feminine beauty. Out of all of his admirers, he chose the one he thought most worthy, and the one that seemed most true to him. On this maiden ' s face a smile was always visible in times of trouble. He took his bride across the deep blue sea, into the land of the heathen. There he was very successful in bringing many souls to the light of Christianity. He was always comforted by the touch of her soft hand after a hard day ' s toil with those ignorant people. He feels that he has received a blessing by taking Clara for his wife. Clara has won the love and respect of all the heathen children by teaching and helping them. He continued, And Dave ' s life has changed just a little since leaving Lenoir. After his long courtship and successive flirtations, he has been deemed an outcast by all the ladies. His South Carolina girl, after a long deliberation, has cast him into outer darkness. He is now striving to become highly skilled in the calling of a doctor, and is constantly neanng the goal. Some day his name will be proclaimed through all the land as an eminent physician. I asked him to tell me about Stuck. He said, She was always foolish about little children. She is now teaching a great crowd of little tots who love her much. They delight in hearing her address them many times a day with her sweet voice. This life will soon cease, as she will become a happy bride next summer. I will next relate to you an interesting sketch about Mr. Rhyne, he now said. He is honored by being called a great criminal lawyer of Canada. His advancing years have meant toil, pain, and ofttimes discouragement to him, but fortunately he overcame all, and his success proved great. He has his sweet wife, formerly his Dallas girl, an inspiration to him, and naturally all his strivings proved successful. I asked him now of my dear old chum, Lottie. He said, I know, just as you have anticipated, she is the happy wife of Mr. Pence. He is an excellent minister, and she is intensely interested in all church work, willing and ready to help all in need and distress, and perfectly content. Now a few words about Stella and Bertie. They are living in a small, old- fashioned, charming cottage, near a country town. Both have personal amusements — Bertie painting many beautiful pictures from Nature, while Stella often expresses her sentiments to the inhabitants of the forests near by with her graceful gestures and eloquent speeches. They are living an ideal, lonely, and peaceful life. Only one more of the class of 1 9 1 4 is left to sketch, I said; and that is Miss Bowles. He said, She has made herself famous by the wonderful, sweet voice which she possesses, and is still rising in her ambitions. She has made it a special study, and her future life promises to be a distinguished one. Something seemed to coil around my neck. Instantly I raised my head, and my old chum was begging me to take a stroll with her out through the lonely country. A strange feeling grasped me, and I wondered if it were possible for me to be in the bounds of Lenoir College still. Finally, I thought it was only a dream. As I had the laborious task of prophesying my Senior classmates, I would give them my queer dream. Senior Poem Farewell o FAIR Lenoir, brightest gem! Dearest place on earth we see. With thy royal diadem Bidding us to honor thee. Nineteen fourteen, happy band. Largest class from dear Lenoir, Twenty-four go hand in hand, From your threshold evermore. In thy stately, spacious dome. We have tried to do thy will; It has been to us a home, And we ' d love to stay here stil But the world is calling loud; To the fields we haste away ; We shall go while not a cloud Surrounds us, and all is day. If, perchance, some wron g we wrought, In thy sacred portals grand, Be it word or idle thought. Forgive all as now we stand. May your light forever shine In the land of ours so dear, And your progress through all time Thus grow on from year to year. Now at last we all must say, While our hearts with sadness swell, As we ' re starting on our way, Dear Lenoir!

But the highest and well-nigh unattainable one is the mountain of knowledge. After three years of patient endeavor to reach the top, we look back upon the past, and remember how we fifty strong Freshmen, bearing the banner whose inscription was Excelsior, started out in a blithesome and self-assured manner on our journey. 1 aking everything into consideration, our Freshman year was a very successful one. Our second year found us still on the upward path, and still bearing our banner before us. Having failed in our effort to adopt the honor system in our Freshman year, we began our Sophomore year with a determination to reach this goal. During this year we unanimously adopted this system — being the first class to make this forward step. We have now reached the third stage of ou r college career at Lenoir College. We have lost several of our classmates, but others, whom we gladly welcome into our midst, have amply filled their places. Still we have not fallen below the record, for we constitute the largest Junior Class in the history of the College. In athletics we stand first. Two of the three men on the varsity tennis team are Juniors. Our class has an unbroken record of victories — never has she gone down in defeat in any department of athletics. We stand second to no other class in every phase of athletics. Our class is a class of Christian workers. Out of the seventeen young men of the class, about one-half are preparing themselves for the ministry. Naturally believing that the class of 1915 is the greatest in the history of the college, we can always look back and say with pride, I was a member of the class of 1915. — CHLOE ADERHOLDT, Historian .eS Know Thyself Written for Junior Class ■ • t I 1ILE I weary pondered long and hard Bf I O ' ei main a l:ne from Athens ' learned sage, m JB M Morpheus smote me with his subtle wand, And in my little kingdom deathly silence reigned supreme.

YODER ,fe Soph omorc History IN SEPTEMBER, 1912, Lenoir College entered upon the twenty-second year of her existence, with the largest Freshman class in her history. Forty-nine timid, awkward girls and boys were made to feel much more insignificant than necessary by the Sophomore, with his ever-ready greeting of Freshie, Freshie. In all colleges, the Sophomore, having had one year of college experience, feels himslf of much importance. He considers it his especial privilege to intimidate and annoy as much as possible his fellow-students just starting upon the road he, himself, has so recently traveled. In the genial college atmosphere, the despised Freshman, helped and encouraged by the kind and learned faculty, developed rapidly, and not many days passed before we were in possession of our usual nerve. Time flies. Never before had we quite realized the truth of this oft-repeated saying. In Sep- tember, 1913, about half our class again gathered within the now familiar college walls. We also gladly welcomed a few others who wished to cast their lot with so courageous a band. In one short year we had attained the rank of Sophomores. We must endeavor to keep up the Sophomore tradition, Act as superior and important as possible, and do unto the Freshmen as we, while Freshmen, were done unto. It has been said, A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. We, inspired with the taste of learning just acquired, suddenly found ourselves possessed of a great ambition and increasing th rst for knowledge. Respect and confidence for the high standard of our school, affection for our teachers, and a worthy spirit of class loyalty animate us. Our members have taken a leading part in athletics. We also stand high in the literary work of the college. The members of our class give promise of develop- ing much talent in the school years remaining to them, and through those who are honest and true, as well as those who achieve remarkable success in the world, will the class of 1916 live. Oh, yes, we have wonderful dreams and hopes for the future of our class, and, even if we fail in these ambitious aspira- tions, we can say, What I aspired to be and was not, comforts me. — Frank Field Allen Q Soph omore roem LASSMATES, the time is flying fast, Since at Lenoir our lots we cast. Last year does seem but yesterday, When we were all enrolled as Freshmen gay. We have in number twenty-four, And by next year we hope to have some more. In athletics you will find Our boys, especially, are ne ' er behind. Class spirit is one of many traits, Which you will find in all our classmates. ou will always find us at work, For this is something we never shirk. Rut when we are allowed to play, We ' re always pleasant, happy, and gay. We have our colors, black and gold, Which will never to us seem to grow old. Remember, classmates, all so dear, Consider now the time that is so near. Remember he who studies best, Will keep what he learns longer than the rest. And when we leave Lenoir College, We will all be quite proud of our knowledge. M. W. 11.

With between sixty and 1 I M seventy members, we are the largest class at old Lenoir. Some few of us had been at Lenoir College before, and had done faithful Sub-Freshman work here, but the majority of the class came from the preparatory and high schools of several States. When we came together, on the third day of September, 1913, to begin our work as students, we were all very fresh and green. We knew, however, that all the world is only a stage, and that every person appears on the stage but once, does what good he can, and then passes off never to return again. With this knowledge, we set to work to make our mark at Lenoir College, and, whatever happens, we will accomplish our purpose. After we had got started to work, we called class meetings, and elected officers just like the higher classes did. At first the higher class men laughed at us, and called us Freshies and Greemes, but it was not long until they began to take notice of us, and watch us with astonishment, on account of our rapid progress. All the professors like us, because we are so jolly that we keep the whole school smiling almost all the time. The higher classes may well afford to watch us with interest, because in a few short years we shall be where they are, and then — — CRAIG YoDER, Historian .tf Fresh CI; rcshman L iass roem ONCE more the year behind us falls, Another step is taken; When next we gather ' mid these walls With courage still unshaken. May we go forward with the zeal This year has held for all. And though the untried path be hard O! may we never fall. We ' ve gone through hardships great and small ; In triumph we ' ve come through ! Next year, in answer to the call, We ' ll march to victories new. What they may be we do not know, But we ' ll be here to try To make a record of the years, As each in term rolls by. Then hail to you, oh Sophomore year; To Freshman, fond farewell. Our hearts are bright with hope and cheer Which all our doubts dispel. Success now stands with beckoning hand ; With faith and courage keen, Oh ! may she lead to lasting fame Dear Class of Seventeen. — Ramona Rich, Poet m c s BLOW, blow, thou winter wind, Thou art not so unkind As man ' s ingratitude ; Thy tooth is not so keen, Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude. Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky, Thou dust not bite so nigh As benefits forgot ; Though thou the waters warp, Thy sting is not so sharp As friend remembered not. — Shakespeare !3t=rr zn )c Sub-Freshman Class FLOWER: Honeysuckle MOTTO: Labor Overcomes All Things OFFICERS Claude Rockett President SIDNEY L WALDHOUR Vice-President Elizabeth Lineberger Secretary ROLL Maude Abernathy Vienna Cauble S.

Many times she has sacrificed victory JA for the sake of honor. The claim to recogni- tion among the larger colleges has been slow, until now she commands admiration at home and respect abroad. The three games played so far this season have been easily won ; the score against Rutherford being fourteen to four, against D. and D. nine to three. On March the nineteenth, Miller pitched a one-hit game, winning over Catawba six to 0. MAMATI y 6 tif ' CLOSING SCENE The Iron Chest IR EDWARD MORTIMER, whom the world recognizes as a broad-minded philanthropist, making honor his theme, is guilty of murder. His victim was uncle to Helen, whom Sir Edward loves. Previous to the opening of the play, he had been arraigned in open court on circum- stantial evidence only. He is easily acquitted, and retains his positon of honor and esteem. Wilfred, his secretary, ever mindful of the many kindnesses he had received, is reluctant to cherish any suspicion, but as a result of repeated mysterious actions on the part of his master is forced to fear that Sir Edward ' s life is overshadowed by some dark deed. He quest ons Winterton, the old family steward, after having imbibed too freely in his master ' s choice wine. He answers readily, and Wilfred discovers that his suspicions are well grounded. Later, Sir Edward ' s negligence in leaving the key in the Iron Chest, which contains a full con- fession of his guilt, tempts Wilfred to satisfy his curiosity by opening it, but the sudden entrance of his master not only prevents the investigation, but enrages Sir Edward, who later tries to involve the sec- retary, charging him with robbery. Fate places the documents m the hands of Captain Fitzharding, his brother, and Wilfred is cleared. The curtain drops on the death scene of Sir Edward. In the course of the play some lively touches are added by Samson and Blanche, the latter bringing much sunshine upon the gloomy scenes. The Iron Chest CasV of Characters Sir Edward Mortimer C. E.

On the morning of November 5, ninety-five young men, each with a shovel on his shoulder, marched to the music of a drum out from Highland Hall, by Claremont College, down through town, and back to the scene of action on Fourth Avenue. Here they met most of the Faculty and other students, which carried the number beyond one hundred. The street was already graded, the topsoil well ploughed, and about thirty wagons were waiting to be loaded. The laborers were yet few, most of the wagons idle, and the managers discouraged. When the large contingent of students arrived, you should have seen the dirt fly and the countenances of Generals Bryan, Jones, and John W. Blackwelder beam and brighten ! The good work went on ! About ten o ' clock the young women of Oakview Hall, a veritable Gideon ' s band, each with a pitcher in her hand, charged the field, and entirely subdued the toiling young men with delicious lemonade! Again the wagons came, the Generals shouted, and the drt flew! At twelve o ' clock it was discovered by Scout Joy that a detachment of the good dames of Hickory had entrenched themselves on Mr. C. C. Bost ' s lawn. In a few minutes they silenced the shovels, and captured the entire squad by the overwhelming force of a sumptuous dinner ! It was positively pathetic to see the elegant rations vanish through the ruddy countenances of those hungry boys ! For four hours more the work was on ; the ladies rallied and shelled with a luncheon; the scene of action moved to Th ' rteenth Avenue; the ranks thinned; but Presi- dent Fritz and most of the students stuck till the last shot was fired, ' ' and some were on hand for more of it the next day. One and a half miles of street were topsoiled the first day. The students saved the day. Without their unselfish and generous aid, the effort would have been a failure. The citizens of Hickory and vicinity were most courteous and appreciative. The young men thoroughly enjoyed the day, and learned more about team work, cooperation, and Good Roads than they could possibly have done otherwise. program for t t BtbitsAwn Atommsirctttan Swifting T obtx Memorial txmtz mlbing jBlettotr (College, jMtckoru, $. @L R.
