N. C. CARL A. RUDISILl LIBRARY LENOIR RHYNE COLLEGE -r p i - J W : i a jforetoorb Dear Reader: We respectfully submit to you this, the seventh volume of HACA WA. We have attempted to represent here in a simple form our college life as it is seen and enjoyed by the students themselves. We hope that you will be interested enough to read and closely examine all parts. We have tried to balance the con- tents of our book by giving you as best we could a few glimpses of the different sides of our student life ; thus we hope that you will not be too severe in your criticisms. The name itself suggests at once complete college life, which everywhere is simply what faculty and students make it. With pleasure, therefore, do we as a Class take this opportunity of leaving to you these few tokens of appreciation for the pleasure and benefits which we have derived from our college career. -SENIOR CLASS m r r i n 6 ' - 2 HACAWA STAFF Dl Bebtcatton We dedicate this Volume o HACAWA to the memory o Capt. Walter Waightstill Lenoir as a slight token of remembrance for his kindness and deep interest shown to the town, community, and Church, by giving the ground on which this school is built, and {or his lifelong interest in educational advancement Dl nn Dl DQ CAPT. WALTEK WAICIITSTII.I. F.KXOIK DI ill jWemotr W Q V ALTER WAIGHTSTILL LENOIR died at his home, at Stonewall, jb J Watauga County, N. C, on the evening of July 26, 1890. He was S r horn at Fort Defiance, Caldwell County, X. C, March 13, 1823. He was the son of Thomas and Selina Louisa Lenoir, and the grandson of Gen. William Lenoir, of Revolutionary memory, and of Col. Waightstill Avery, a true patriot, and one of the signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde- pendence. In 1843, he graduated with high honors at the University of North Caro- lina. There were but two others of a large class that took first distinction ; and, it being necessary to draw for the Valedictory, the prize fell to him. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1845, and came easily to the front rank of his profession. He was especially regarded by his legal brethren as one of the best judges of law in North Carolina. On the tenth day of June, 1856, he was united in marriage to Miss Cornelia I. Christian, of Staunton, Va. — a union so congenial that perfect hap- piness was vouchsafed to them until the death of their lovely child, Anna Tate Lenoir. The mother soon followed, leaving wound-prints in his heart that were never healed; but being of noble mold he was soon convinced that usefulness lay not in a selfish indulgence of sorrow, but in the path of duty. That path was soon made plain to him. The Civil War came, and he quickly decided how he could best serve his country. He declared his firm belief in the justice and sacredness of her cause, and said that he was ready cheerfully to sacrifice in its defence, whatever it might need of his means, his strength, his time, and his capacity of endurance. In December, 1861, he entered the Confederate Army as a private. In January, 1862, he was promoted to the captaincy of Company A, Thirty-seventh North Carolina Regiment, Branch ' s Brigade. It was with serious misgivings that he accepted the office ; but he proved himself a wise and efficient leader, gladly sharing the hardships of his men, and endearing himself to them by many acts of unselfish kindness. Their love for him amounted to devo- tion. Lie was wounded at the battle of Ox Hill, September 1, 1862. His brave Company, of which one-third only was left after the second battle of Manassas Plains, was exposed to a terrific fire, and all but three were either killed; or wounded. His account of himself in this hotly contested action is most charac- teristic. He says in his diary, In the twilight, toward the close of the battle, I pi t£ Six Dl Dr. R. L. Fritz — Our President I ' ll [LO?OPH Y DI JD Di is Wo ®ut College I WILL now sing of thee Dearest of all to me My College Home ; Far let thy truth resound O ' er hill and plain rebound, The truth that ' s taught by thee, My college dear.

In scholarship she has stood among the first of the Class. She has a wonderful power of concentration, and nine o ' clock usua ly finds her in bed. She believes that plenty of sleep is necessary for effi- cient work. She has been an ardent Eumenean Society and athletic worker. She has been true and loyal to her Class and College. Her ideal is a cosy little cottage, ruled over by an unselfish queen. This we feel will be granted her, for her only weakness is the poet of the Class. We predict a happy future for her when she has completed her study in home- making. Xoaii 1). YorxT. A. B. C0N0VER, N. C Death tuith its spear ztiould lay me lozo Before I ' d yield me to a foe.

Although he does not claim to be a genius on all subjects. still he gives many evidences of a profound student. He does nol be- lieve that all knowledge should be used merely for advertisement pur loses, but that a good part be used for beautifying the body and soul. I le is frank to his friends, and has no patience with those who use pro anity in any way. This is a trail in lim that we all admire. He believes n thinking before speaking, but when ie does speak, he sticks to his word intil fully convinced of his mistake. Ie is a member of the Euronian So ciety.

A strong mind, a sincere heart, and a clear conscience. Carroll, our esteemed president, entered our Class in September, 1910. He has a wonderfully strong intel- lect, and a large vision of life. He has good, sound judgment, and rare executive ability. He has been an earnest member of the Euronian So- ciety, a leader in Christian activities, and a faithful supporter of the dif- ferent organizations of the College. He is modest and unassuming, almost to a fault. He says little, but lives much. He is the very synonym of unselfishness — cares nothing about honors for himself. He is a friend in the true sense of the word. He has no enemies. He is very popular, es- pecially among the ladies. He in- tends to study Theology. We pre- dict for him great success. His life is gentle, and the elements so mixed in him, that Nature might stand up and say to all the world, ' This is a man ' !

(jROvEk entered our Class in full force last Fall. He took part of the work last year, but decided to come back and finish this year. He is As- sistant in the physical and chemical laboratories. This work seems to appeal very much to him, and he has already reached the stage of consid- erable advancement. He is a thor- ough and practical student, willing helper, and a friend to all. He is always on hand when he is wanted. Though a busy man, he spends con- siderable time in the social activities of the College. We don ' t wonder, though, why he is so very popular, when we stop to think of his father ' s large hotel up town. He can adapt nmself to all classes of people. He expects to take a theological course. He has been a strong supporter of the Chrestonian So- ciety. He is a good singer.

Rarely indeed do we find a young lady who has such a wonderful per- sonality. To say that she is pretty is not enough ; for she has that which is far deeper and truer than mere beauty — she is cheerful and happy. Her anger is seldom aroused, but when it is. there is a storm. She is very popular among the girls, and it is not hard for a boy to lose his heart after a chat with her. Trixie is a good student, a lover of the Eumen- ean Society and her College. She is a hard worker, and we predict for her a successful career. Her aim at present is the mission field, and we will not be surprised to hear of her in the near future laboring in Japan. The prayers and good wishes of the Class go with her in whatever voca- tion she may choose. R. T. Troutman, A. 11. STATESYII.I.E, X. C.

What ' s the use to know anything, if you can ' t fell if to others. ' Dora stands high as a student in all the college work. She is a leader among her numerous friends. She is self-willed, but by no means inclined to be unsubmissive to higher author- ity. She has a broad practical view of life, is a willing helper to all, and cares nothing for personal honors. She has great executive ability, and has had the honor of being leader in several such bodies. Her strong per- sonality and keen penetrative insight show her to be an exceptional type of woman. She has almost com- pleted the course in Expression here, along with her regular literary course. Her mental capacity is copious, and her practical judgment safe. She is a strong member of the Eumenean Society. She exoects to teach. G. L. Sawyer, A. B. HICKORY, N. C. Determination prepares its own way to sueeess It seems. as if for a while George drifted along in the valley of inde- cision, lint now he is striving with one definite aim. At one time he thought he wanted to stop school and teach, and did so for one year: but he caught the vision of something higher, and decided to come back to school with the intention of making it real, lie was enrolled in our Class in Sep- tember, 1913, and has proved to be a valuable addition. He does not claim to be an intellectual genius, but is ever guided by the thought, 1 can if I will. He has not contended for special honors, but lias been diligent in all branches of the College and church work. He is a member of the Euronian Society, and has been very much interested in its welfare, tall and handsome, but will not allow himself to be given any atten- tion by the girls.

He is true to Ins convictions, and free in his counsel. His literary capacity is very large; especially is he interested in the Eng- lish language and poetry. If you want to see some of his work, 1 in the Lenoirian, and Hacawa. is not one-sided. Whatever he sees to be done, in the Society, classroom, or athletic field, he is ready to do. He is a member of the Chres- tonian Society. He is a good debater, and a pleasing speaker. He has never confined himself to text hooks in ol- der to obtain honors, but he believes in broadening his views on all sub- jects. The future has a way to suc- cess open to him in the field of the ministry. Scrub Anniversary De- bater 191 3; Chrestonian Anniversary Debater 1 9 1 4 : Ternis anager 1914-15; Class Poet 1915.

She has worked hard, dili- gently, and wisely. She has been an ardent Society worker, and the Phila- lethean Society will miss her. AxxiK las won that highest form of success which comes to the one who never shrinks from danger, strife, or bitter toil. Annie has tried to find her true place in life. She has studied some Music, Expression, and Voice. She be- lieves that in a useful life lies the lest and truest virtue, and thai she can obtain this virtue by lending a helping hand to a certain young Theolog. She is very religious, and •elieves in doing the right thing re- gardless of the consequences. We expect to hear ureal things of her in the religious world. C. A. Kipps, A. B REPTOX MIUS, VA. Whatsoever thy do it hands find to Kipps came to us from Northern Virginia. We congratulate him for joining this Old North State Band. He has been a loyal and faithful member. He is a patient and dili- gent student, ever seeking for rela- tive causes and reasons. He has never sought popularity, even among his classmates, but he is well thought of by both Faculty and students. He has been an active worker in all col- lege organizations — religious, literary, and athletic. His lot was cast with the members of the Chrestonian Lit- erary Society at his entrance in Sep- tember, 1910, and he has been an earnest supporter of their colors ever since. But he is not a narrow par- tisan. His good wishes go out to all organizations, whether he is person- ally interested or not. He ex- pects to study Theology. We predict for him a prosperous future.

Gertie has spent only two years with us, but in these two years she las proved herself to be what she seemed. Her mental capacity is seemingly unbounded. She has a free flow of language, and can discuss al- most any question. When she under- takes a thing, she is not satisfied until it is completed. Gertie is a woman of noble, splendid, pure character. She does not hesitate to say to your face what she would say behind your iack. The Philalethean Society is indebted to her for much of its prog- ress. She is also a musician, and has studied some Voice and Expres- sion. Bi fact, you will rarely find a girl more accomplished than our Gertie. We feel srre that success awaits her in the vast field of teach- Kathryn Aderhoedt, A. B. HENRY RIVER, X. C. Good nature and good sense must ever join. KiTTy-did is the youngest of our Class. She came to us a mere child, hut during the four years of her so- journ here she has grown into a beautiful young lady. She is loved and honored by both faculty and stu- dents for her open-heartedness and sincerity. If you want a friend, in her you will find one in the truest sense. She believes in being happy, and rarely if ever do you find her blue. Kitty is a general favorite among the boys as well as the girls. Her mind is very receptive. She ex- pects to study Music and Expression. She is a faithful member of the Phila- lethean Society. The upbuilding and progress of her College lias ever been her foremost thought — she loves it as a second mother. We expect great things of Kitty. J. W. Aiken, A. I!. HICKORY, X. C.

He first entered in Septem- ber, 1910, but being in no special hurry to finish he taught one year. With determination renewed, he joined us in September, 1913. He has a clear mind, and a keen penetrative intellect. He does not go to school just to say that he has been through college, but that he might know the things that the world requires of a college graduate. He has received honors in scholarship. He was a member of the Euronian Society, but on account of inconvenience he had to give up that work last year. He nevertheless ranks high as a debater and public speaker. He always looks on the bright side of things, and very seldom does he become discouraged. The world promises him success as a minister and teacher. Scrub Debater 1911; Won Scholarship Medal 1912.

Honor and popularity came to him without his striving. Not only in the classrooms has he shown his talents, but he stands high in Society work and in athletics. He is equipped for any duty that falls to a student. He stands on his own convictions, and is not led astray by hasty conclusions. He knows how to be friendly to all and partial to none. He gets pleasure out of all that he does, and is ever ready to help others. He is a great admirer of the Co-Eds, and they in turn render to him due admiration.

He has never claimed to lie a model stu- dent, but there is nothing too deep for him if he once sets his head to dig after it. He is not ashamed to do whatever necessity demands. Be- cause of his unselfish and generous disposition, he is the friend of every- body on the hill. Besides being a student, he is an athlete, a strong So- ciety worker, and a promoter of all organizations of honor.

CLASS OFFICERS □ I -3 W — in had thrown myself on the ground from sheer exhaustion, and was talking to Captain Morris, who was in the same attitude. I turned my face from him to speak to my men, when 1 felt an excruciating pain in my leg. I said to him, in my natural voice, ' Captain Morris, my leg is broken by a musket-ball. ' Very soon after I felt another blow upon the same leg, and I said to him, again in the same tone, ' I am wounded again in the same leg. ' After finishing the conversa- tion — commenced before I received the second wound, which shattered both bones of my leg — he was summoned away, and I dragged myself about ten steps or more to a place a little more elevated than the fence at which we had been fighting, thinking there would be a better chance of my being found. While there, I had sand thrown over my face various times by musket-balls which struck the ground near my head, while the shells from the enemy ' s battery which was enfilading our line passed in fearful proximity to my body- I felt a wonderful degree of calmness and resignation to my fate in this alarming sit- uation. I thought that if the wounds I had already received did not prove fatal, it was very probable that 1 would be struck again, and killed; but I felt that I. was in the hands of a merciful God, and he would do with me what was right. In a few hours one of my men found me, and with the assistance of three others bore me oft on my blanket, stretched between two fence-rails, to a house about a quarter of a mile distant, and laid me on a narrow porch, which was so crowded with the wounded that there was only room for me at the entry, and my wounded leg was often struck by passers-by, to my great torture. Next morning I was carried on my stretcher for nearly a mile, and laid on the ground in an old field, with other wounded, to await surgical aid, which could not lie obtained until September 3, when, to my great relief, a surgeon amputated my leg. In another part of his diary, he says: The life of a soldier is calculated in many respects to have a hardening influence on the heart, but somehow it seemed to soften mine. When in that hard campaign 1 saw the sufferings of my men, and thousands of others; their weary gait; their bare and bleeding feet; and their heroic patience, my heart was touched to the core, and 1 often found the tears unconsciously coursing down my cheeks. . . . At the battle of Cedar Run, I was constantly witb my men. encourag- ing them and assisting them, and others whom I knew, to load. etc. They were so worn out by the march and the tight that, although much exhausted myself. I had to assist two of my men in the last charge through the cornfield, by having them to lean on my shoulder for awhile. m h 1 Dl us Other extracts from his diary might he given, which show not only his unswerving devotion to duty, but his exceeding gentleness of nature. After the close of the War, he turned to peaceful and more con- genial pursuits. He lived for several years in Haywood County. From that place his duty called him to Watauga County, where he lived until his death. Under the very shadow of Grandfather Mountain he loved to abide, and among the noble-hearted people of that mountain section he was best known and appreciated. In 1883, he was elected a member of the State Legislature from Watauga County, and his grateful constituents would have continued thus to honor him but for his absolute refusal longer to continue in public office. He preferred a quiet, unobtrusive life among his own people, where his large- hearted beneficence could find ample scope. Xo man, perhaps, has ever done so much for the people of Watauga as Walter Waightstill Lenoir. He was to them at all times a wise counsellor, a true friend, an unfailing helper. His place cannot soon be filled. A generous, sympathetic Christian life — who can tell its influence ? Say not his work is clone, No deed of love and goodness ever dies, But in the lives of others multiplies : Say, It is just begun. The name Lenoir College was chosen in honor of Captain Lenoir, who donated the splendid campus of twenty acres, together with thirty-six acre-lots surrounding the same.

NannETTE is a woman with a pur- pose in life, and she has the energy and pluck to accomplish it. Difficul- ties have no terrors for her. She is an average student, who looks on the experiences of life as being as valu- able as book knowledge. She is the happy possessor of a receptive mind, and she finds little trouble in ab- sorbing the knowledge necessary to pass a quiz when it is announced. She has an attractive personality and a persuasive voice. She has shown tal- ent as a student of Expression. She is also a student of Music, a member of the Philalethean Society. She loves debate, and shows skill in handling a question. She expects to continue her work in Expression and Music. Pearl Setzer, Expression hate to see things done by halves. Peart, took her A. 1!. here with the Class of ioio. After a few years of teaching, she felt that she needed more knowledge along the dramatic line; hence we have her with us. She is very jolly. Her personality is ex- ceedingly unusual. I ler will power is almost unlimited, and when she un- dertakes a thing she never gives up until she has completed it.

She lias one aim in lite, and to accomplish this aim she lias consecrated all her faculties. She leaves us with the good wishes of the Faculty and students. We feel sure that a bright future awaits her. Maude Crowell, Art LINCOLNTON, N. C. 6 0 fair , so sweet, withal so sensitive. This young lady belongs to that noble type of women who serve their fellow-women and God in a quiet un- assuming way. She is gentle, amiable, affectionate, and she loves and trusts everybody. She is sure to succeed in her line of work. Her appreciation of the different phases of life makes her a very congenial companion. She is ever ready to lend her sympathy to a homesick student. Of her work I need say nothing, for her cartoons stand out as an example of original- ity, and her copy work is even bet- ter. She has been a conscientious student. MaudE expects to continue her work in Art. All our best wishes follow her, and happy will be the man who is so fortunate as to win her heart. Pearl Miller, Expression hickory, n. c. Her voice is like the marble of a bird — So soft, so sweet, so delicately clear. Pearl is perhaps the most attrac- tive girl in the Class. She is refined, sweet, and pleasant. Her work has been of the highest order, and she has gained the love and admiration of her teachers. Pearl is indeed a talented girl. Her reading is fine, and her singing is exceptionally good. She has taken part in many plays, and lias always done herself credit. Al- though Pearl has not won medals, she has won what is more — the love and admiration of all those with whom she has come in contact. She expects to continue her work in Ex- pression, Music, and Voice. In the future, we will not be surprised to hear her name connected with some grand opera. We bid her godspeed.

There are many kinds of history, each taking its name from the particular phase of human activity which forms the subject. This is only a plain history of the largest Class of literary students that Lenoir College has ever sent out from her walls — the Class of 191 5. In September, 1909, several of us entered this College. The fact that we were Preps naturally debarred us from much of the pleasures of real college life; but the next year, when twenty more new recruits joined us, we united ourselves into such a strong band that in spite of the fact that we were still Preps, the larger Classes were compelled to give us our deserved consideration. Our real college career did not begin until the next year, when a band of us — fifty members strong — entered the portals of Lenoir College. What did we care for sneers of the higher Classes ! In our humble way, we patiently moved along. During this year, we made the first attempt to adopt the Honor System at Lenoir College. September, 1912, again found us eager to pursue our onward journey. This year is especially noted for the fact that previous to the adoption of the Honor System by the whole school, it was unanimously adopted by our Class. According to the old custom, the flag was raised in the stillness of the night. When the sun arose it was still waving, for the feeble efforts of the Freshmen could not tear it from its lofty heights. Robed as jolly Juniors, we took our respective places September, 1913. Our Class was slightly reduced this year; but several new ones joined us. The chief feature of this year was our elaborate banquet, held at Hotel Huffry, in April. September, 19 14, was one of peculiar interest to us, for the doleful Senior year had come. Realizing that our time here was now short, we imme- Dl fll ID Thirty-Four □ L _ diately plunged into our work. But in our busy life we did not forget the importance of recreation. Therefore, on a fresh October morning, we gathered our little hand together, and enjoyed a picnic on the Catawba River. ( )ur Class truly has been a class of Christian workers, for during our college course much emphasis has been placed on the development of our souls as well as our minds. Our Class has been a strong support to the Christian phase of our College. Some of the evidences of this Christian spirit are seen in the fact that a large number of our young men are preparing themselves for the ministry. Nor has the development of our bodies been neglected. We soon realized that a strong mind could exist only in a strong body. ( )ur Class has been one of athletes. Xever has it gone down in defeat. The Literary Societies of Lenoir College have long felt the influence of our members, who have always taken an active part in this work. Much of what has been accomplished in this work has been shown in our public debates, orations, and dramatic work. Our Class has won her share of medals and honors. Some of the chief medals that we won are: The Clapp Orator ' s .Medal, 2; the Expression Medal, 1 9 1 4 ; the Scholarship Medal, [913; and the Anniversary .Medals, [914. Although our College career is ended now, we have just caught a glimpse of some of the problems of this life. Soon we shall be thrown into real life, but may the higher qualities that have been instilled into our minds by the teachings and examples of our scholarly teachers enable us to overcome these obstacles, and take our places as real men and women on this earth. May our lives all be so lived that when the hour of death shall arrive we may fob! our hands and conscientiously say that we have rilled our God-given mission here on earth as best we could. Here we are, a band of able-minded men and women; take us, God, and use us as you have need of us. — Lucy Yoder, Class Historian pi rjz: i d Thirty-Five Mentor Class $oem v: OU say the battle now is o ' er, The mighty conflict won; That we have gained the well-fought day, And all our work is done?

Class Poet 4 A a Dl Thirty-Seven UJ Dl ropfjecp of Mentor Clas 1 m WT X D now. Dear Reader, before I attempt to guide you into the dim £ w and distanl avenues of the future, and reveal to you the most noble W B career of my beloved classmates, I desire that you become familiar with the exact circumstances in connection with which these revela- tions are made. I fain would have been smitten with the somniferous wand of Morpheus, who ever and anon hies himself from the slumberous abode of Somnus to visit certain disconcerted mortals who chance to find themselves in just such predica- ment as I at present am. Or again I had hoped that it might fall to my happy lot to be visited by some winged fairy, who would treat me with various and diverse potions, lull me to sleep with celestial music, and disclose to me a complete history of a generation to come. But nay, T was doomed to disappointment. The gods themselves were, as men have ever been, to me most unpropitious. All my waiting was in vain. So again there was brought home to my mind the sad truth that there are times when man must act independently of man or gods. Such being the case, if it please your fancy, give rein to your imagina- tion, and wander with me for a season into the mystic realms where all mortals are occasionally wont to soar. You know we all dwell in a more or less imagi- native world, according to our respective dispositions. So it is into this world of imagination that I wish you to follow me now, in order that I may disclose to you the future of my classmates. Perhaps you will hesitate, thinking that because you are not acquainted with the subject of my theme you will not be able to follow me. But, on the contrary, that is to your advantage. Certainly the less we know of a person the more we can imagine of him ; and the more we know of a person the less we — ? But — let us proceed. Ahem! We are now about to experience the lapse of thirty years ' time in as many seconds. Just be calm. It will seem quite natural. Ready? Presto! Here we are. January i, 1945. My, but haven ' t things changed in the last thirty years? Why who would have dreamed that within twenty-five years we would be flying up to Mars to spend the week-end? Yet, thanks to one of my classmates, that is exactly what we are doing today. Yes, every member of the old Class of 1915 has contributed his or her part to the extension of civilization. You say you would like to hear the history of their careers? Well, that will be quite simple. In fact, I just obtained the information last week from the National Directory, which not only gives the name and address, but also a brief history of every person born in the United States since 1875. I feel almost certain that none of our own Class was born before that year. The following is the information that I received from the directory. pi c£ . ia Thirty-Eight Il l W -i n «T. V. goedjolbt To the infinite regret of his many friends, Victor departed this earth in the year 1920. Oh no, not dead. He has the unique distinction of being the first inhabitant of the earth to visit Mars. He is living there today. His first trip there was a most novel one. While preaching in a small town in South Carolina, he fell in love with a certain fair damsel who sang in the choir. She, fickle thing, after trifling with his affections for a time, suddenly turned him down. Victor could not bear the thought of living without her; so he tied a heavy steel ball to his neck, and hastened to the nearest body of water, there to drown his sorrow along with him- self. But Dame Fortune took a hand in the game. A blazing comet, soaring down out of the sky, swept by the earth. In the tail of the comet was a metal possessing highly magnetic properties. As soon as the ball which was tied to Vic ' s neck felt the attraction of the magnet it responded ; consequently, he sud- denly felt himself yanked unceremoniously away from Old Mother Earth, and was soon sweeping majestically along in the wake of the comet. ( )n and on he swept, until all knowledge of time and space was lost to him. Finally he saw a beautiful planet just beneath him. He hastened to untie the rope, and fell with a splash into a deep canal on A Tars. He was rescued from the water by a famous Martian beauty, whom he soon married. He later succeeded in establishing com- munication with his friends on earth. Cfjloe goerfjolbt Immediately after her graduation, Chloe volunteered for Red Cross serv- ice in the war of the nations which was then raging. She fell in love with a dash- ing young Count, who was wounded in the defense of Berlin. Me quite natur- ally fell a victim to her irresistible charms. So at the close of the war. she became the Countess von Immer Sprechen. llatfjrjm gberfjolbt anb Herop Beaton Since they are now as one, the careers of these two can best be treated together. Deaton, still pursuing knowledge, went directly from Lenoir College to Germany, to specialize in the more elevating sciences. After completing a course in philosophy and psychology, he returned to America for Kate, who had refused numerous offers of marriage, and remained true to her first love. They are now living in Berlin, where Deaton is at the head of the department of dogology at the University. 3. WA. HUfeen I. W. Aiken, the worthy Senator from North Carolina has at last suc- ceeded in getting his national prohibition bill through Congress. Ever since his graduation, he has been interested in this subject ; consequently, in [944, he p i rj id Thirty-Nine m -W F Z i n introduced a new bill, modeled after the Hobson Bill which was discussed and defeated twenty-nine years before. He took his course in law at Harvard, and for ten years occupied the chair of political economy at our State University. He is now heralded as one of the most popular lawyers and literary critics in this country. %. €. Soltek, J. S. Jf rj , anb ft. WBL. $aton The careers of these three celebrities run so nearly in the same channel that they also may be handled together. Impelled by the irresistible call of all things German, this invincible trio departed soon after graduation to offer their lives in defense of the Vaterland. On arriving at the German frontier, they were suddenly confronted by a company of the Kaiser ' s infantry. Wishing to make a favorable impression, our worthy friends approached them, shouting the inspiring strains, Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Alles. But, strange to relate, the Germans recognized neither words nor tune. In fact, they mistook our friends for Russians, and straightway proceeded to empty their artillery at them from a distance of about fifty feet. Thanks to the quality of German markmanship, none of our friends were touched, and before the Germans could reload that trio was too far away to be seen even with the aid of the Lick telescope. However, at the German headquarters, they succeeded in proving their identity and good intentions. So they were assigned to the Crown Prince ' s crack regiment, said to have been given this name because of the tendency of its members to seek a crack big enough to creep into when the English guns began to speak. Here they served with distinction, each in his own way. Fry broke the world ' s record for the half-mile dash in his first battle, with Boliek a very close second ; but not so with Hawn — he would never run. ' Tis said he was ever to be found where the bullets were thickest; i. e., under the ammunition wagon. In recognition of their loyalty, the Kaiser wished to decorate them with the Order of the Iron Doughnut. Fry and Hawn accepted this honor with pleasure. Boliek however declined, stating that he had come in contact with that Order at Highland Hall. At the close of the war, each of our friends took unto himself a German Fraulein. They are all still living in Germany, and proclaim- ing the virtues of the Vaterland, and singing Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Alles. ILila ©uke This charming young lady was engaged for several years after her grad- uation in the glorious work of imparting knowledge. But her winsome ways and cooing voice soon captured the affections of a young lawyer whom she met one vacation. Just a repetition of the same sweet story which is old as man, yet ever new. They now live in Washington, where he holds the office of Attorney- General. pi pz Forty m _ w - -m p. z. mi Realizing how richly endowed he was with musical talent, Benjamin hastened abroad to pursue his studies on that subject. His fame as a musician soon became worldwide. He has appeared before all the crowned heads of Europe as the greatest Jew ' s harp artist of the age. g. J%. Huffman The first chemist to change one metal into another which is entirely different. After years of experience, he has succeeded in turning gold into zinc. The world is deeply indebted to him for this wonderful discovery. c. m. Hipp This walking encyclopedia soon became interested in the Malthusian the- ory. After minute investigation, he decided that it was a spurious proposition. He soon published a series of articles denouncing it. Not only does he defy it theoretically, but also in practice, a fact quite evident when we understand that he is the father of sixteen young Kippses. C. 0. Xtpparb Our poetic friend left Lenoir College with every intention of entering the ministry. Few months had passed, however, before he realized that the poetic element was too strong in him to permit his following any other calling. Xo sooner did he arrive at this conclusion than he began his work in earnest, lie scattered his lyrics far and wide over the world. His masterpiece, Ode to a Grasshopper, came before the attention of the king of the Fiji Islands, who was so deeply moved by its beauty that he at once appointed Ljppard poet-laureate of his domains. (gertrube I ofjn It was quite natural that this modest, religiously inclined young lady should become a missionary. After several years of preparation, she embarked for South Africa. However, her boat was wrecked in a storm, and Gertrude was washed ashore on a small island, the only survivor. Therefore, imagine her surprise when she discovered C. O. Ljppard sitting under a cocoanut tree, engaged in the laborious task of writing a pindaric ode. Tis said that the meet- ing of these old sweethearts was most pathetic. How he wooed and won her with his love sonnets is a beautiful story. $earle Jftiller Pearle Miller, the greatest prima-donna of the age, says a recent issue of The Hickory Times, one of the South ' s leading dailies. She is now touring America for the last time, having announced her intention of retiring from public PI =0 — Forty-One m - 3 M c m life. ' Tis rumored that she is engaged to a young doctor, who was her first and only love. nnie otolas anb Ji ®. gount These two frivolous young persons were the first of the Class to wed. Whom did they wed? Why each other, of course. Then, impelled by their common love of gaiety of high life, they arranged a vaudeville act, and went on the stage. They made a great success. Noah is at present one of the directors of a theater in New York, a position which he fills with masterful genius, most likely due to Annie ' s inspiration. Bora f)ofceg Dora Rhodes is one of the most conspicuous figures in public life today. She has a national reputation as being the main factor in the enactment of the famous woman suffrage amendment. She has represented her State in the United States Senate for three successive terms, but lately has resigned her seat on account of the wish of her husband that she retire from public life. eo. %. i£ atoper Our tall friend Sawyer, after leaving Lenoir College, took up law, and entered the political world. There his career, as befitted his stature, was a rising one. He spent much time and effort toward bringing about worldwide peace ; and when the federation of the world became at last a reality, and a court of the nations was founded, Sawyer was elected the representative of the United States. CUrira g fteel| Elvira had intended teaching for several years, but greater excitement was in store for her. In less than a year she met a handsome aviator. It was a case of love at first sight. They eloped in an aeroplane, and astounded the world by flying to Europe on their honeymoon. They have since visited practic- ally every land in the world. lie has invented an inexhaustible battery, which marked a new era in aviation. . GT. QTroutman Friend Troutman, now a multi-millionaire, chanced upon the secret of his fortune in a most novel way. During the Summer of 191 5, he was strolling along a country road, trying to decide upon his life ' s work. A terrible drought held the country in its grasp. On all sides vegetation was withering and dying. He noticed in an Irish potato patch one potato which was faring extraordinarily well in spite of the fact that all of its companions were dead. He hastened to investigate, and found a small onion growing close to the potato. The solution dawned upon him. The presence of the onion was causing a continuous flow of tears from the potato ' s eyes, thereby furnishing self-irrigation. Troutman Pi Q= ID Forty-Two n i - w — 3 B immediately had his discovery patented, and now receives a royalty on potatoes raised by his method. C. J2. Itount One of the most popular writers of the twentieth century. He always had the air of a dreamer, and of such are poets and authors composed, lie treats of only the most lofty and elevating subjects — those which tend to elevate and ennoble the race. His most popular work is, Why I Married a Suffragette. Hon. Lucy Yoder, Attorney-General of North Carolina. ' Tis said she will be a candidate for Governor at the next election. Considering the valuable services which she has rendered to the citizens of North Carolina during the past twenty years, she will doubtless be elected by an overwhelming majority. J annette ubisUl This dramatic young lady soon obtained a position with a movie com- pany, and ere long was capturing the hearts of thousands of young men all over the country. In one of her daring exploits, however, she met with a serious accident. The young doctor who was summoned saved her life, and fell in love with her. So he asked her to give up the ' movie, and marry him. ( )f course she couldn ' t refuse him ; that would have been ingratitude. Jflaube Crotoell One picture alone acquired for Miss Crowell international fame. This picture, painted while she was studying abroad, is entitled The hast Stand at Berlin. Had she painted but this one picture, she would, on its merits alone, be considered one of the world ' s greatest artists. $earl H et?er Miss Setzer went North to complete her course in Expression, but later returned to Lenoir College to take charge of the Expression Department there. A young English professor had fallen a victim to her charms while she was North, and consequently when there was a vacancy in the faculty at Lenoir College some time later he applied for the position. I lis application was accepted. Again history repeated itself. They are still living in Hickory today. And now, friend, let us leave this imaginative world, and return to our it you be a respective businesses. But remember what I have revealed, am Junior endeavor to follow to the best of your ability the excellent examples of your departed friends, the Seniors.

During our Freshman year, we encountered many new adventures, both toils and pleasures. The Sophs were continually jeering us; yet this gave us more courage to pursue our course. The opening of the next year presented twenty-three of us to enter upon our Sophomore year. After we finished the Sophomore year, only fifteen mem- bers returned, with the addition of three new members; making the total number of eighteen members to enter upon our Junior year. Our Class is making records in all departments of the College. Let me enumerate some of the things that our Class has done and is doing. ( )ur mem- bers have won both the Scholarship and Art Medals. They have also won special honors in Expression, Oratory, and Debating. ( )ur boys have never been surpassed in athletics, always a high athletic spirit prevailing within tin Class. We have members on the following teams: baseball, tennis, and track. Our grit is shown in the games with the other Classes of the College. The spirit of the Class exists wherever a Junior is found, whether on the athletic field or in the classroom. When this year of work ' is completed, we, by the guidance of our honovd and efficient professors, shall have accomplished a great task. Bui we hope that in the Fall of 1915 we may all return for another year ' s work.

With pride We face the foe of truth, who hies With empty hands to his abode, and groans To learn that he no victim has. The trail Of ignorance fades as in a mist when through The light of knowledge we the distant goal Of bliss and rapture seek.

College life was new to most of us; however, a few of us were here in the Preparatory Classes, and knew something of college life. We were laughed at by the Sophomores, and called Freshies, but we did not care, for we entered College with a purpose in view, and a Sopho- more could not turn us from our course. The great purpose we had, and still have, in view is seeking truth. Our Class was the largest in the history of the College — numbering sixty-nine. In September, 19 14, a large number of our Class returned, together with several new ones, to enter the Sophomore Class. Although our Class is reduced in number, the Class spirit has not waned, and we always remember that we have an aim in our college life, and this aim is, to prepare us to make our journey through life most successfully. Our Class is a distinguished one. We are repre- sented in all forms of athletics; the members are all good Society workers; and besides the work done in the Literary Department we are well represented in Art, Expression, Oratory, and Music. We always try to conduct ourselves so as to merit the good-will of those who are our superiors. We also honor and respect those who are our inferiors, and encourage them to higher aspirations. May we ever go on, struggling onward and upward to reach our aim in life. Let each of us be so encouraged by the work of this year that he will return next year, and use his influence to get others to join our Class; and may it be said that the Class of 1917 is a noble Class. — Roy C. Huffman, Historian 01 q ID Fifty-Six Dl is opl)omcire Clas $oem Q OME, O classmates, let us follow Learning ' s light where ' er it leads ; Drawing from it, as examples, Sages ' thoughts and heroes ' deeds. Why should we, in life ' s short pathway But the path is steep and stony, Give our time to shallow mirth, Which to Learning ' s d oor doth lead When in secret, we may converse Oft Adversity, the tempter, With the kings and queens of earth? Makes our very spirit Weed. But, when Triumph crowns our efforts, And we stand hefore that door. Think, then, of the royal welcome Giv ' n by those who ' ve gone before.

At first, we were jeered at from all sides. But, in fact, we liked that little word Prep. After two years of arduous work in this department, we gladly entered upon the tasks of real college life. In September, 19 14, we were very much pleased to see so many new recruits, all of whom we gladly welcomed to our band. We then constituted a happy league of enthusiastic workers — sixty members strong. The criticisms we received from the higher Classes neither angered nor humiliated us ; for we knew that soon we should be where they are, and display our ability in acquiring knowledge. In spite of the fact that we were Freshies, we stood firm in our spheres, and showed the higher Classes just what a Freshman ' s place in College was. For this reason we were well represented in every phase of college activity. Especially were we represented in athletics, for we realized the importance of developing the body as well as the mind. We realize that this is only the beginning of our college career. But as we peer into the future and see something of what must be accomplished before we can enter wisely upon the duties of this life, we do not tremble; but, instead,- fill our minds with a greater determination to cling to our task and strive onward toward our goal. For little by little are the mysteries of life unfurled. — Class Historian pi q i d Sixty-Two m - 3 W — m Jf restfjman Clas $oem T5 HEY call us Fresh, and so they may. For we ' ve just started on our way ; We ' ve much to learn, and much to do: So help, O friend, we ask of you. Perhaps with rose, perhaps with thorn; But we will fight, and ever pray: Perhaps with calm, perhaps with storm, As warriors brave, from day to daj Our pathways may encompassed be, We ' ll meet the dread embattled foe. As helpless barks on open sea. And deal to him a deadly blow. ' Gainst ignorance will we with might Direct, push on, prolong the fi ght, Till we have gained supreme command, And driven darkness from our land. Then, while we try to do our best. Please grant at least this one recjuest : Refusing aid in thought or word, Let not your doleful voice be heard.

One Hundred Five HIGHLAND STUDENT COMMISSION n i i w z i a WLW tfje Use? it P INCE man first made his appearance in the arena of life, his struggle ' l for existence has been a gigantic one. To frustrate his laudable ambi ■ tions and lofty aspirations, siren voices have whispered to him in his weaker hours, What ' s the use? This is the enchanting device that leads Despair ' s wretched hosts. What ' s the use? says the poor girl devoid of hope. She ' s tired of the struggle. Every circumstance seems but a push of fate. The smiles of evil men, the indifference of the good, the neglect of a cold, sullen world, the persistence of evil fortune — all combined against her. She gives up the fight, and takes the easiest way. The brawny youth, in whose bosom burns the fires of unknown genius, often despairs because of poverty. He would move the world, but he thinks he cannot. ' Tis then that the treacherous voice whis- pers to him, What ' s the use? The bank clerk, led on by the gilded dreams of luxury, yields, and embezzles. The ex-convict strives a while to gain his self- respect, but, finding the world arrayed against him, with no sympathy to share, no helping hand to give, he again falls. What ' s the use? thousands and thousands say. This is but the idle question of the coward, the ground for the traitor ' s base excuse. It is the knavish whim of the timid and the weak. Oh, wretched one, there is always use. It is never too late. If you have failed in your purpose, it is that you may succeed if you are resolved to strive and not to yield. If perchance in your weaker moments you have done folly, it is that out of it shall come a nobler life, a wisdom full and complete. And if you have sinned or gone astray, it is that by repentance and reformation you may advance into a purer life. The one great and all-impelling thought that moves the world, inspires the soul, is that we may mount upon our dead selves, and make our lives, our faulty past, the golden stairs whereon we may climb to a vaster future. No gospel more evil was ever spread than that fur you and me there is no hope. For it is with aching hearts and bleeding bands we build. lay stone on stone, and toil far into the night. If the world despise and scorn your task, in One Hundred Seven Dl is heed it not ; but press on bravely toward the mark of determined success. Soon it will turn and lay at your feet the richest gifts, the rarest gems it yields. If you are lost and benighted in the Valley of Despair, turn your eyes from the darkness to the light. Arise ! Climb to yonder lofty mountain tops. To that you may attain if you only try, and as a rich reward share the grand triumphs of the race to be. Oh, ask me not again, What ' s the use? if you have left within you a strong and vigorous heart, and any spark of sovereign will, rise up and take the straight and narrow road. Adjust your burden squarely to your shoulders, and face with courage this perplex ing life. Be not dismayed. Your first belief is in your star, in your association with propitious fate. Say to Despair and her dejected hosts, What ' s the use? With her plans thus thwarted, triumph- antly rejoice, and leave her without a victim. Contributed by Roy T.

Although the meetings have been well attended and greatly enjoyed by all the members, no work of an y great importance has been attempted this year.

ID One Hundred Forty-Two LECTURE-ROOM — Cll KM [STRY LABORATORY— I ' ll YSICS LABORATORY n i yy r c i a TOje Jfacultp on tfje JSageball Jf telb S ' ' HE dignified Seniors were wise enough to have high aspirations enough fl ' ' j to challenge the Faculty for a baseball game, and the Faculty were foolish enough to accept the challenge. The game was called at 1.15 sharp ; rather early, to be sure, but several members of the challenged team are rather upward in years, and somewhat infirm ; therefore they could not afford to wait until their respective energies had been exhausted by a long day ' s labor in the classroom — consequently, they knocked off at dinner time. Mr. Kiser umpired the game, which started with the Faculty at the bat, and all the heavy batters did excellently. Fritz at the bat, Morgan on deck, and Stirewalt to follow. Fritz took a psychological swing at the perceptive ball, with the ethical result — safe on first. Morgan, with his educated bat, conjugated a two-bagger, and woke up Fritz on first in passing by. Stirewalt. bearing in mind that his name might go down in history if he were to make a hit, fanned out. Then Little takes his bat, made in Germany, and hits a fly into center-fielder ' s hands. At this point, someone on the side lines yelled Don ' t mind that boys ; two men down, and one asleep. Patterson to the bat. Fritz still asleep on first. Patterson puts the ball in a hyperbolic curve just over the head of the left-fielder, and runs a perpendicular to first base. Morgan proceeds to third, after a mag- nificent declinable slide. Hartwig to the bat, amid profound applause and laughter, for he had forgotten to take off his cuffs. Meanwhile, he turned to the catcher, and said, Oh, this is so undignified. However, he waited till the ball took an aristocratic plane, then he took an intellectual swing, putting the ball, philosophically speaking, in the right field, and ran frantically to third base. On being told that he was going in the wrong direction, he exclaimed, Oh, any- thing to be different from the mob. The final outcome of the first half of the first inning was : Morgan and Hartwig stopped to discuss logically the rightful possession of third base. Patterson, for the benefit of his geometry class, prac- tically demonstrated the theorem that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points, by running from second base in home. Fritz still asleep on first. □I fll ID One Hundred Forty-Four 0! 13 The Seniors to the bat. Had to get a new umpire, as Kiser was com- pletely exhausted. Fritz in pitcher ' s box. Stirewalt with the catcher ' s muzzle. Coble walking all around, holding down first base. Mauney on second, and Morgan in the psychological place on third. Hartwig in center field, and Little holding down left and right — marching up and down like a German army, sing- ing, It ' s a Long Way to Tipperary. First batter hits a winding ball beyond left field. Little misses it, as he had to run from right. Second batter puts a ball in center field. Hartwig, mistaking it for the spark from heaven, opens his hand to receive it, the ground however catching it. Third batter takes his base, while Fritz and umpire have a discussion concerning the possibilities of the influence of the law of gravitation on his balls. Hartwig tries to catch a fly, and in the attempt turns a somersault. Little gets angry, and starts repeating Ger- xnan poetry — or at least we think that ' s what he was saying. Coble still walking around first base. At a critical moment, Stirewalt stumps his toe, and misses a foul. Scores keep going up. Faculty keeps missing balls. Fritz calls time, unable to play the second half of first inning on account of disabled condition of the whole Faculty. The game is ended. The crowd dispersed amid all kinds of ejaculations, most noteworthy of which perhaps was Fritz ' s saying, Well, fellows, the whole thing was a disjunctive syllogism. f Dl ID One Hundred Forty-Five HIGHLAND HALL DINING-ROOM — COLLEGE AUDITORIUM — HIGHLAND HALL KITCHEN □I IF YOU have been satisfied with the contents of this hook so far, you will want to examine the following pages; and if you have not heen, you will surely find relief and satisfaction by read- ing the splendid opportunities presented by those who advertise with us.
