ANDREW LEONHARDT CROL ' SE, D. D. TO Mbw® Anirsw m mkmwM Ow@mmm w D H D B THE CLASS OF 1916 RESPECTFULLY DEDICATES THIS VOLUME OF lliiWi IN LOVING MEMORY OF HIS DEEP INTEREST IN OUR COLLEGE; TO ONE WHO LIVING WAS A SOURCE OF NOBLE INSPIRATION, AND WHO HAVING GONE TO HIS REWARD HAS LEFT BEHIND HIM AS A SACRED HERITAGE HIS GENEROUS KINDLY DEEDS REV. A. L. CROUSE was the son of a Lutheran minister. His father, the Rev. Thomas Crouse, was born in Davidson County, N. C. ; was baptized and con- firmed in Beck ' s Church of the Evangelical Lutheran Tennessee Synod; and preached his last sermon there, ten days before his death. His paternal ancestors came from Germany to Pennsylvania, and from thence to North Carolina. His mother ' s parents came to this country from Ireland. Rev. Thomas Crouse was ordained by the Evangelical Lutheran Tennessee Synod to the office of deacon in 1845, and to the office of pastor in 1850. He remained a faith- ful and fearless pastor of this Synod until W.s death, which occurred in 1876. Andrew Leonhardt Crouse was born in Randolph County, N. C, June 8, 1849. His mother was Barbary Fox (Fuchs), a descendant, through her maternal line, from one of the Electors of Saxony. Andrew was a frail child, and was baptized soon after his birth by his father, for which Pastor Crouse praised God until death. He early set his heart upon the Lutheran ministry as his life work, and earnestly applied himself to the work of preparation for this holy calling. In those early days, the Synod had no college, and Mr. Crouse had to educate himself to a large extent, getting what assistance he could from the high schools and academies of that period. He was directed in his theological studies by his sainted father; and by persistent and continuous perseverance in this, to him, most interesting subject, he acquired a comprehensive knowledge of the Lutheran Confessions and of the Lutheran Doctrine. Pastor Crouse preached his first sermon in Grace Church, Catawba County, N. C, September 30, 1871, and soon after — October 18, 1871 — was solemnly ordained to the office of pastor, in Philadelphia Church, Gaston County, N. C, by the Evangelical Lutheran Tennessee Synod. He served first, as assistant pastor to the Rev. Daniel Efird, several churches in connection with the Evangelical Lutheran Tennessee Synod in Lexington County, S. C. After serving as assistant for one year, he accepted a call to become pastor of five of these congregations — Cedar Grove, St. Paul ' s, St. Peter ' s (Meetze ' s), Zion, and Emmanuel. He did faithful work in this large pastorate for four years. From 1876 to 1882, he spent much of his time in mission work in South Carolina and Alabama. From 1 882 to 1 888, he was pastor of Bethlehem congrega- tion, Augusta County, Va. For one year he served the Orkney Springs pastorate of the Virginia Conference of the Tennessee Synod. In 1 889, he accepted a call to Mount Olive and St. Stephen congregations, Hickory, N. G, and served Mount Olive for three years and St. Stephen ' s for nearly eighteen years. From 1897 to 1906 he served Friend- ship, St. Paul ' s, Salem, and Shiloh congregations, in Alexander County, N. C, in con- nection with St. Stephen ' s. In 1 906, he accepted a call to Immanuel Church, Char- lottesville, Va., where he labored faithfully until his death, which occurred October 13, 1915. Four Few pastors do more personal missionary work than did Pastor Crouse. He organ- I ized no fewer than five congregations — St. James ' , St. Thomas ' , and St. Andrew ' s, in i South Carolina; St. Michael ' s, in Alabama; and Bethel, in Virginia. Besides this, he reorganized several, and did the preliminary work for the organization of a number of others. During his life he organized two parochial schools — one in Virginia, and one j in North Carolina. But that which stands out pre-eminent in his life, perhaps, is the part he played in the i founding of Lenoir College. When he came to Hickory, in 1889, Col. J. G. Hall, the ' administrator of Col. W. W. Lenoir, was offering this magnificent site to any church which would establish a first-class college upon it. Pastor Crouse was deeply impressed with the wonderful opportunity here offered to the Lutheran Church to build up an insti- tution in the heart of a Lutheran constituency. He succeeded in interesting three of his brother pastors — Revs. J. C. Moser, R. A. Yoder, and W. P. Cline. These four men, firmly believing that this door was opened unto them by the Lord, and strong to follow where he led, boldly gave their personal notes for twenty-five hundred dollars each, and thus secured for the Evangelical Lutheran Church this magnificent property. This was an act of Christian heroism, and places these men among those whom the church, for all time, should delight to honor. In the laying of the cornerstone of the I present administration building of the College, Pastor Crouse took the leading part in the service. Besides being the Synod ' s theological teacher , to which he was called in 1 892, Pastor Crouse held the chair of German and Assistant in English in the newly l launched institution. It is as a teacher of theology in Lenoir College that he will be remem- i bered longest as a professor, perhaps. To the time of his death he loved to speak of those who studied theology under him, and always called them his boys; and they, in turn, remember and speak of him, affectionately, as Father Crouse. Pastor Crouse will be remembered widely and long as an editor and publisher. At Summit, S. C, he founded and published The Summit Courier, a paper which had a wide circulation and influence. At Hickory, he founded The Educator, which, in its latest evolution has become The Lenoir ' an. He also was the founder and first publisher ! of Our Church Record, and was for a long time German Exchange Editor of Our ' Church Paper. He published also A Christian Catechism for Children, besides several sermons and pamphlets which have had a wide circulation. Pastor Crouse was twice married. His first wife was Miss Tirza Adeline Darr, who died less than two years after their marriage. His second wife was Miss Mary Livinia Bilbro, of Greensboro, N. C, with whom he lived happily until death called her home — February 16, 1910. His first marriage was blessed with one child — Thomas Henry, who lived but a few days. His second marriage fruited two sons — Luther Augustus and Carl Froelich ; and one daughter — Luda Amelia. Luther Augustus was called home, at Summit, S. C. As professor, pastor, editor, author, brother, and father, he will be affectionately remembered, and as such he, though dead, yet speaketh.

With a its variety) and monotony, difficulties and de- lights, it has passed into history. In the pages which follow, we have tried to give an insight into our college life — to chronicle in art and literature the events of the past year, and to preserve to the members of the Class of 1916 the best of the college traditions and inspirations. And when in years to come you happen upon this volume of HOIWI if it recalls to mind pleasant memories of happy schooldays, we, the Editors, shall feel that our work has not been in vain.

But trials and troubles do appear, And thin our ranks have grown each year; We rally round, and with a thrill, Yet find we ' re our own even still. Dear classmates, through life ' s shifty way, Remember Lenoir still ; and may College days claim a memory, Whose rays will brighten our journey. But now the goal salutes our gaze, The last of many college days. We crave the grace to plant a tree And sing the song of memory. When we survey the fading past, And dream of days that went so fast; Full many a thorn that once was ours. Seems all a-bloom now with flowers. But let the strain of music cease Which pleads of days and hours like these. Another note pleads loud and clear. Exulting Hope leaps up to hear The bugle call of life to men, Who must the battle now begin. How sternly sweet that lofty song — Defend the right, redress the wrong! — R.

Frank has rightly been called the genius of the Class. His record as a student is to be envied. He is a great admirer of Nature, appre- ciates the artistic pictures of the poet, and finds pleasure in the mysteries of science and phil- osophy. One glance at his countenance reveals his remarkable personality. This personality is the source of his great executive ability. Frank is a peerless orator and debater, from whose persuasive lips flow words sweeter than honey. He expects to develop his literary talent more fully, and eventually to study law. We feel confident that the future holds in store for him unexampled success. In joys, in grief, in triumphs, in reireat. Great always, without aiming to be great Daisy Agner, A. B. SALISBURY, N. C. Daisy is a great favorite with the girls and boys, because of her natural wit and originality. Entering as a Sub-Freshman, for five years has she imbibed at dear Lenoir ' s fountain of wis- dom. Besides her regular work, she has devoted some time to Music, and has been a leading spirit in the Eumenean Society. Faith in Daisy ' s abilities and perseverance leads us to expect great things from her. A merry heart goes all the Jay Twenty-two Mary Allen, Domestic Science hickory, n. c. Mary has been in school at Lenoir for two years. It is apparent that she is especially gifted in the art of Domestic Science. To her it has ever been a delight to sit and dream of the dainties she can make from cream. Possessed of a keen sense of humor, she is a girl to whom the bright and joyous in life appeals most. She is sincere and loyal to her friends, and ever ready to help them. Mary intends to specialize further in her chosen work. We predict for her success; for when she once makes up her mind to accomplish anything, she usually succeeds. C. V. Cline, A. HICKORY, N. C. Scrub Debater 12-13; Junior Orator 15; Class Orator 16. Doc was preparing to study medicine when one day he decided that there is not enough money in pill-slinging, and so he has made up his mind to go into business. He is a strong advocate of the flowery-bed theory of life. On special occasions — f or example, when someone tries to down him in Society — he gives vent to impassioned eloquence. Carl is a shrewd in- dividual, and this fact, combined with his jovial, carefree disposition, will make him a leader. To strive, to seefc, to find, and not to yield The mind ' s the measure of the man Twenty-three Ruth Corpening, Voice NEWTON, N. C. Ruth has been with us only two years — a jolly, carefree girl, who tries to make everyone around her enjoy life. She is very industrious, and quite faithful. And what a voice she does have! But never mind; perhaps you ' ll be per- mitted the pleasure of hearing her sing. Ruth is thinking of teaching.

The ladies as well as the fellows fall for his charming manners. But, in spite of all this, he is not puffed-up, and has accepted his honors with modesty. He has a clear, logical mind, and as Bus. Mgr. of Hacawa has demonstrated that he has the qualifications of a successful business man. Conrad is preparing himself for the ministry. He is sure to make a deep impression wherever he goes. His words are bonds, his oaths are oracles Twenty-four Modelle Davis, Musk HICKORY, N. C. E. A. Hunsucker, A. B. CONOYER, N. C. During the three years MoDELLE has been with us, she has certainly worked diligently; not only in her Music, but also in her literary course. Notwithstanding the fact that she is so young and small, her playing is marvelous. If she continues her study in Music, she will become a very accomplished musician. MoDELLE is also an active Society member. Senior Representative Highland Student Com- mission ' 15- ' 16; Varsity Basket-Bail ' 15- ' 16; Varsity Tennis 15-16. Honey, as he is familiarly called, has been with us only one year. Certain it is that Catawba College has missed him; but she has reason to be proyd, in that his high regard for scholastic ideals proves her merit. This young man is a clear, consistent thinker, and a splendid, clean-cut athlete. He is going to enter the medical profession. May we here express the hope that some day the name of Dr. Hun- sucker will be famous as a benefactor of man. Music exalts each op, allays each grief, and softens every pain Although T e sneer in health, when ill We call them to attend us Twenty-five Mary Huffman, A. B. HICKORY, N. C. C. L. Herman, A. B. HICKORY, N. C. Mary is a product of Hickory — nuf seel! This golden -haired maiden with a charming per- sonality is endowed with the power of fascina- tion. For four years her cheery smile has been an inspiration to her classmates. But don ' t get the wrong impression of our Mary. She is a deep thinker, and altogether is a very well- balanced young lady. Mary has a good voice, also; and we feel sure her vocal aspirations will be gratified, for she usually executes what she undertakes. Class Historian 13; Scrub Debater ' 14; Con- tributing Editor of Lenoirian ' 15; Assistant Business Manager Hacawa ' 16. Tubby is one of those rare individuals — a combination of jollity, patience, and wisdom. When you meet him, he impresses you with the bigness of his character. For four years he has been the comrade, friend, and youthful adviser of the students; and many are those who will testify to his unselfish devotion to the cause of man. As a student he stands second to none — the Faculty will vouch for that. His massive, penetrating brain has served him in good stead in solving the difficulties of Calculus, Psychology, and Greek. Clyde goes out from Lenoir with more than his share of knowledge, and with the fervent hopes for his success of the entire stu- dent-body. She is herself of best things the collection ' We J(now what we are, hut £non not what We may he Twenty-six Mary Killian, Domestic Science LINCOLNTON, N. C. Mary has studied Domestic Science during the two years she has been at Lenoir. She is a quiet, modest girl, a ready sympathizer, with a reputation for spreading sunshine. Mary also has musical talent. Interested in athletics, she has taken an active part in all college sports. Whatever her intentions may be, we wish her the best of success. M. J. K.LUTTZ, Special SALISBURY, N. C. Scrub Debater 14; Co llege Representative to Clapp Orators ' Contest 14; Euronian Anni- versary Debater 15; Winner of Junior Orators ' Medal 15; President Euronian Society. If you want things done to a finish, just call on Joe. He is a worker: but that is not all — he has ability. He hails from Salisbury, famous for its granite. That accounts for his grim deter- mination. Nowhere will you find a truer friend and a man of nobler aspirations. A leader in the religious life of the College, his very earnest- ness assures his success in the ministry. He intends to continue his literary work for some time, and then will enter a theological seminary. To be good is to be happy Energy and persistence conquer all things Twenty-seven C. H. Lyerly CRESCENT, N. C. J. N. Lyerly, A. B. CRESCENT, N. C. Short Butt is a popular fellow, although he has been with us only one year. In athletics, he is a star. When it comes to speaking, he is right there with a voice like that of W. J. Bryan, and a dignity comparable to that of Gladstone of old. For wit and hot air, he is unsurpassed. The last is not said in condemna- tion, for we believe in it. More things are wrought by ' gas ' than this world dreams of — especially in law, which Carl expects to enter. Should you need legal aid in years to come, consult the distinguished individual whose pic- ture appears above. Jake entered our ranks last September — truly a valuable addition. He is a good student, and the possessor of a keen mind, abounding in wit. He does not seek popularity, but nevertheless his friendly disposition wins respect. This young man is an earnest supporter of the Chrestonian Society, and is an athlete of no mean ability. He expects to continue his literary work. ' Deep, subtle ivils, In truth, are master spirits of the World Verily, eloquence shall throne three with arch- angels Twenty-eight Mrs. Letitia Doak Morgan, Voice HICKORY, N. C. L. S. Miller, A. B. HICKORY, N. C. Mrs. Morgan is the wife of our much- respected professor. She is so sweet and kind, ever ready to help and sympathize, that one just cannot refrain from loving her. Before studying Voice at Lenoir, she studied for two years at Marion College, Virginia, and one year at the Conservatory of Music, Farmville, Va., under Dr. August Schemmel. Still she is not satisfied, and expects to continue her study of Voice. Class Historian ' 14-15; Orator Euronian Anniversary ' 15; Junior Orator 15; Class His- torian ' 15- ' I6; Laboratory Assistant ' 15- ' 16; Class Orator 16. An honest man is Chippie, a gentleman through and through. Though quiet and un- assuming, there is none more admired and respected. The love of truth and right pre- dominates in his make-up. Just to show that he can do things, he assumed this year the extra burden of Assistant in the Physical and Chemi- cal laboratories, and make good from the start. With his strong body, powerful voice, and noble character, he will be a leader in his chosen pro- fession — the ministry. ' 5n ee is every sound; Sweeter thy voice ' Master, go on, and I will follow thee To the last gasp, with truth and loyalty Twenty-nine Pearl Miller, Voice hickory, n. c. EMMABEL McFALL, Special HICKORY, N. C. If Pearl becomes a pnmadonna, we will not be surprised, for with all her talents she will certainly make a name. Her sweet and lovable disposition has won for her many friends. She intends to pursue further her study of the specials — Music, Voice, and Expression, during the coming summer. Perhaps then she will teach. We predict for her much success. We call her Little ' Un, which we con- sider a very appropriate name, for she is a small, dark-haired, brown-eyed girl. She entered Lenoir from the Hickory High School, in 1912. Emmabel ' s sweet, lovable disposition, and her true, sincere character, have gained for her friendship and esteem. She decided to take a Special Course this year, and will perhaps come back next year for more work. Then she intends to teach, and also to specialize in Voice. Her Voice Was ever soft, gentle, and low — An excellent thing in woman A foot more light, a step more true, Ne ' er from the heath flower dashed the dew ' Thirty Marguerite Porter, A. B. BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C. Myrtle Pence, Art MINT HILL, N. C. During the four years Peggy has been with us, she has had many friends whom she won through her characteristic kindness. She has done much for her Society — Philalethean ; and has been a leader in many other branches, espe- cially in religious affairs. Besides her literary work, she has studied Music. Marguerite in- tends to teach for a few years; and how we do envy her pupils! Myrtle came to Lenoir in the fall of 1914, from Davenport College, where she had studied Art for a short while. She is a quiet, modest girl, devoted to her work. This young lady has been a very faithful member of the Philalethean Society, and also is an enthusiastic participant in athletic sports. Just cast your eyes over the drawings in this book, dear reader, and you will agree with us that she is some artist. After completing her course of Art here, Myrtle in- tends to continue studying for a few more years, and then perhaps to teach. Judging from a non- partisan standpoint, we can ' t see how failure is possible to her. ' There is no pleasure li e the pain Of being loved, and loving To draxo men as they ought to he. Not as they are Thirty-one J. C. Rudisill, A. MAIDEN, N. C.

Skinny has been a member of our Class from the start. Much merited honor has been bestowed upon him by his fellow-students. He is an eloquent and persuasive speaker, and takes great interest in athletics. Justice has been a pillar of strength in the Athletic Association. He has given much attention to Latin, German, and The Girl. He expects to study law. Here ' s to you, Judge Rudisill. May you win many cases. Johnsie has worked so faithfully in her Music for the past two years that it is no wonder she is such a musician. She is not only pretty, but also she is the owner of an exceedingly rare temperament. An active member of the Philalethean Society, she has worked faithfully for its upbuilding, and has ever had at heart the progress of her College. This young lady will continue the study of Music for several years, in order to fulfill her ambition of becom- ing a no!ed pianist. She was his life.

Bruce stands high as a student, orator, and deba ' er. He believes in doing the right thing, regardless of those around him. He possesses strong executive abilities, and has held many responsible offices of trust and honor. Here is a willing helper and a true friend, a lover of Mathematics, Greek, and Music. He has de- veloped into an accomplished ladies ' man. Bruce intends to study for the ministry. We predict a great future for him. Without Sadie, I hardly know what our Class would do, for she is our ever-cheerful comforter. She always has a kind word for everyone, and is so ready to do everything possible to help you out of your difficulties! She intends to teach and to study Piano and Voice, but we think that it will not be for long, because . How happy we hope she will be! ' Who then is free?

Scrub Debater II; Euronian Anniversary Debater ' 12-13; Junior Orator 13; Varsity Baseball ' I 1 - ' 12- ' l 3- ' l 5. Loy joined the Senior Class last fall. He was due to graduate the year before this, but owing to sickness he was forced to discontinue his school work for a time. Zeke is a hard man to describe. Slender, yet not slim, he gives one the impression of personality. In the days gone by, it was his diligent toil that helped to make the Euronean Society what it is today, although this year he has been too busy in other lines to take much active part in its affairs. We understand he is interested in Chemistry, and we do not regard it as at all unlikely that the time will come when Sox ' s Principles of Chemistry ' ' will be used in all our Universities. Ora Sublett, A. B. HICKORY, N. C. After graduating from Hickory High School in 1912, Ora entered Lenoir, where she has many times proved her worth. She is our best and hardest worker — a quiet, unassuming young lady, with knowledge and insight beyond her years. In the classroom, in Society work — in fact, as an all-round college girl, she stands, perhaps, without a rival. Here is a girl one must admire, a girl with a purpose in life and a determination to do something useful. She in- tends to teach for a year or two, and then will devote herself to Vocal and Instrumental Music. We wish her all success.

Bandy is popular with all the boys. He is not as large as some members of the Class, but he makes up for it in quality. Always happy, with plenty of pep, his excellent playing has won many a game for his Class and his College. Had he applied himself as hard in the classroom as he did in athletics, he would have been a star there also, and a bright one. Honored and respected by the Faculty and students alike, he will be missed. Elsie came to Lenoir College in 1913. After taking the literary work for a year, she decided to study Domestic Science, and has worked with such zeal and ardor that her success is assured. This young lady likes athletics, and does not shirk Society work. She says she intends to teach; but we think that before many years her Domestic Science will be of much practical use. Attempt the end, and never stand the doubt; Nothing ' s so hard but search will find it out Domestic happiness, thou only bliss Of Paradise that hast survived the fall! ' Thirty-five Lillian Plonk, Voice KINGS MOUNTAIN, N. C. Lillian is a woman of splendid, noble char- acter. Tall, graceful, attractive, she is the type of girl that has made North Carolina famous. You seldom meet a person so talented as Lil. She excels in reading, in singing; and also has great dramatic talent. Although somewhat reserved, she has a host of loyal friends. LlLLIAN expects to continue her work in a Northern institution next year. Our best wishes go with her.

T. Wallace Ora Honeycutt Adrian Witherspoon DC Thirty-seven ill S©ni©r Class Hisltry IPBplHE Class of 1916 first appeared for duty on the campus of Lenoir College, Sep- ™ tember, 1912. We came to Lenoir College solely for the purpose of finding the truths that are in store for students who have a broad vision of life. We were only Freshmen, yet eager to learn, and soon won the respect of the entire student-body. Our Freshman year was pleasant, and passed quickly. At the beginning of the next term, after a pleasant vacation, we came back with renewed energy and inspiration. Our number was decreased, yet the spirit of our Class in no way suffered. Frequent meetings helped to bind us closer together. Our Sophomore year was very profitable, as many new truths were added to our storehouse of knowledge. The next year found us again at Lenoir College. We were now Juniors, possessing a new and larger vision of those things which are truly valuable in life. This year our members appearing on debating and oration contests established our reputation widely as a class of public speakers. September, 1915, found us approaching nearer our goal. We rejoiced in the fact that our Senior year had arrived, and soon we were at work. Our work was hard ; so we, feeling that some recreation would be helpful, journeyed out to the Cliffs one beautiful spring morning, and enjoyed a day ' s outing. Our Class has taken great interest in all phases of college activities. The advantages of Literary Society work have been grasped by every member of the Class. Our mem- bers have represented their Societies in debating and oratorical contests, and have always taken an active part in the College plays. Our members have distinguished themselves in different branches of work, and have won the following medals: The Scholarship Medal, 1913; the Art Medal, 1913; the Junior Orators ' Medal, 1915; and the Auxiliary Medals, 1915. Thirty-eight Our Class also has shown much interest in athletics; you have only to look at the different teams in this Annual, and you will see the number of Seniors on each team. We have more athletes than any of the other Classes, and have never suffered a defeat. For four years we have looked forward to graduation. Each year has found our Class decreasing in numbers, yet increasing in unity. We have tried to grasp the truths that are to be found at Lenoir College. We thank our honored professors, who have given us a larger vision of life. We are now ready to go out and fight the battles of life, and it is hoped that every member of the Class will choose in life only those things which are right and good, ever striving to make the Class of 1916 greater. — Historian Thirty-nine THE summer following my graduation at Lenoir College, feeling sad and lonely, I ventured down into a valley to study the geological work of a little stream, which in time had cut its own way through the soil. Sitting on a nearby rock, and laying my head on a mossy bank, these three terms came into my mind: Transportation, Erosion, and Deposition. The little brook rippled ever the different strata. The birds were singing in the over- hanging trees; the summer breezes brought the fragrance from the flowers blooming on the hilltops ; the little honey bee sipped water from the brook, and buzzed joyfully away. All nature seemed to pour out its beauty, and blended into peaceful music. The geological terms remaining in my mind naturally brought to me memories of Lenoir College — not so much of Lenoir College, but my classmates. Where are they? I won- dered. But the brook soon . You ask can a brook tell stories? Certainly. Many a story h as this same little brook told. And the following is the story it told me of the dear old Class of Sixteen, fifteen years hence. F. L. Conrad and Mary Huffman Ripple, Ripple, Ripple! On with the Prophecy of Sixteen. I know you are eager to hear; but I will take both together, for how can I separate them? Yes, Mary and Conrad, two of the most brilliant and witty members of your Class, are as one. MARY completed her special courses — Voice, Expression, and Art. As soon as CoNRAD returned from the seminary of Chicago — if you knew them at Lenoir College, you need not ask how Mary ' s sweet face, trusting eye, and cheerful dis- position bewitched him. CoNRAD has proved to be a second Dr. S. P. Long — due, of course, to MaRY. Ora Sublett Don ' t worry about your friend with yellow curls leaving Lenoir College. She spe- cialized in Piano and Voice. Ora is, or I mean was, the most noted library teacher of the South; but when you remember her strong character and modest behavior you cannot doubt her present pos.tion — the queen of a tidy little parsonage. Marguerite Porter MARGUERITE next? Why, her story is old. Of course she is the wife of that steady fellow whom she captivated in her Junior year at Lenoir College. In Carrol ' s ministerial work, PEGGY brings happiness and sunshine to all she meets. Her qualities make her a true minister ' s wife. Emmabel McFall and M. J. Kluttz And ' LITTLE ' Un, ' bless her heart she ' s the only missionary among her sisters! Many tried to woo and wed her, but in vain, until she crossed the waters. And whom did she Forty meet but our BROTHER Joe, who had completed his course at the seminary, and was sent to China as a missionary. After the meeting of EMMABEL and Joe, old love kindled at once, and of course resulted in matrimony. They send a monthly record of their work to America. Theirs is a wonderful work. Paul Yoder Paul, the great athlete, is still at his old tricks. He has established an athletic record that has been the envy of many a boy. Some day P will be the champion athlete of America; then he expects to build a mansion for that attractive little girl whose love he won while at Lenoir College. Ezra Hunsucker and Daisy Agner The story of Daisy and ' Honey ' is heartrending. Every leap year DAISY pro- posed, but ' Honey ' asked each time for a year ' s consideration. At last DAISY, heart- broken, gave matrimony up as a lost cause. She is the strongest suffragette of today, while ' Honey ' still pursues h s course of law. L. S. Miller It seems that SuMMIE ' s fate was sealed just on account of his good nature. He finished his course at the seminary, but sad to say his health broke down marrying couples on leap year free of charge. Considering the amount of valuable service SuMMIE had rendered, Synod sent him West for his health, where he fell in love with a Western girl, who soon became a quiet, modest minister ' s wife. SuMMIE ' s health restored, he now holds the honorable position as instructor in the Theological Seminary at Columbia, S. C. R. B. Sigmon BRUCE is the most progressive farmer of the South. Not only a farmer, but one of Synod ' s ablest ministers. You wonder how he can be both, but listen — _t ' s just the result of his hard labor at Lenoir College. You know already who his helpmate is, if you remember that No. 1 2 Southern was Bruce ' s train to Conover almost every Sunday evening. F. F. Allen and Johnsie Rhyne FRANK, the genius, has reached his destination. After he finished his course at Harvard University, to his great surprise he was elected President of the United States. But not so surprising to his little dark-haired wife, JoHNSIE, for she gave many a sigh to hold her present position. Never before has the dear old White House been thrilled with music, and never from henceforth will the United Slates fear a bloody war. C. L. Herman ' ' If you take into consideration his ability of being so exact and frank, and also his capacity for work, you can readily predict his future. After leaving Lenoir College, he immediately entered Yale University, where he graduated. While there, he developed a serious case of love with a beautiful village maden. These being the first real symp- Forty-one toms, there was no remedy except ( — ) . He was elected Vice-President of the United States, and his home is in the White House at present, with his old chum. Their work is the perfect example of the old saying, Great minds run in the same channel ; for they have made life easy in the United States, and above all they made peace between the warring nations. Prospects are that they will be re-elected next term. Carl Lyerly Feeling that he had a sufficient amount of education after leaving Lenoir College, CARL took a correspondence course in his favorite old subject, The art of lovemaking. In this course, he learned to crack jokes at the same time. He now publishes the Sun- day paper, which he has revised, and made an improvement on worth noting. Carl Cline and J. Loy Sox After finishing the.r course at Harvard University, and realizing what cultivated tastes they possessed, these two young lads went into partnership to compose poetry. Their first work was to introduce new verse forms and new styles of English poetry, which showed their mastery of meter. Their poetry has a refined, finished, and delicate beauty. Their energy and purpose are making life a success for them. J. C. RUDISILL After leaving Lenoir, JUSTICE was not satisfied with his knowledge of astronomy; especially was the nebular hypothesis a puzzle to him. Thus he made a further study of this subject at Yerkes Observatory, where it was made clear to him; and he erected an observatory on top of the main building of Lenoir College. With the aid of his little golden-haired wife, JUSTICE points out and explains to mllions of people the numerous nebulae which can be seen by scanning the heavens with a telescope. J. N. Lyerly A.mid great wonder and admiration, Jake successfully completed his course at a northern seminary. He immediately sailed for South America, to Christianize the heathen. Today the church is proud of his ability and ambition ; but, most of all, the great number of souls he has turned from darkness into light. Lillian Plonk LlLLIAN, with her trained ear, careful tongue, and willing hand, after completing Voice and Expression in the North, is carrying on a most successful life on the stage. But, listen! not for fame or glory; but the most noble of all, the church. She supports three missionaries in India, and promises to support others whom she is urging and plead- ing with to go. Ruth Corpening SlSTER Ruth ' s thinking, encouraging smiles and executing hands have won for her endless prosperity. She continued her course in Voice until she was equal to her instruc- Forty-two tors. Then she traveled Spain and Italy, stealing the hearts of young lads by singing to them, but kept her old motto: ' Never love more than one boy in the same place. Unable to find her mate on either side of the ocean, Ruth established an orphanage at Newton, N. C. Today she is caring for many homeless children, and teaching them that the greatest art is to be able to sing. Modelle Davis You could quickly decide what the little musician is doing. She continued her work at the conservatory of music. Her ability and reputation have won for her a noble posi- tion — the most noted pianist of the South. Many a suitor has been turned heartbroken from her door. As always, she does not realize her capabilities. Elsie Yount ELSIE, the gemus in Domestic Science, has proved a wonder. She completed her course at the Normal. All over the United States she has established Domestic Science departments in connection with the schools. Her work is a success; but how can it be otherwise when she is the wife of that bright and witty little fellow whom she won at Lenoir College? Mrs. F. G. Morgan Mrs. MORGAN, the sweetest singer of today, is teaching Voice in a college in New York, of which her brilliant husband is pres.dent. If today you could hear Frances ' birdlike voice, you would at once recognize her mother ' s successful training and teaching. Myrtle Pence This noted artist is in Paris, still pursuing her course. The Pence Art Gallery is known throughout the world. People flock from everywhere to view especially Myrtle ' s beautiful landscapes. Pearl Miller After further study of Voice, PEARL taught the same in different States. One beautiful Sunday morning, while singing to a crowded audience, she recognized in the rear of the church her first and only love. An elopement at once took place. As the little brook murmured these last words rather low, I immediately raised my head, wondering if I had been forgotten. But to my sorrow the brook had eroded its bed so deep that I only heard my name in the ripples as they moved on toward the great sea. — Prophet Forty-three Last Will and Taatamant Lenoir College Hickory, N. C. WE, the Senior Class of 1916, being fully aware of the fact that we wA soon have reached the day when we can be no longer mothered by our dear old alma mater, and that henceforth we will have to bear the toils and hard- ships of the cold unsympathetic world alone, without her guiding and protecting hand ; and being this once in full possession of a sound mind, memory, and understanding; do make known, publish, and declare this our Last Will and Testament, at the same time rendering null and void any Wills by us at any time heretofore made.

Of course a very few of us had served as apprentices for one year, under the name of Preps, ' but we still- felt a strange and uneasy feeling when we thought of joining the ranks of the Freshies, on whom the vengeance of the Sophomores is wrought ; and of assuming the attendant burdens. But it was not so unpleasant as we thought ; in fact, we found, in that year, bonds of friendship which will not soon be broken. We found in the Soph. Class many noble characters worthy of emulation, and since then, through the succeeding years, we have been led on by the examples of those industrious men of the Class just before us. The beginning of our Sophomore year found most of us ready again to pursue our course of scholastic discipline. Some, however, were lost to the Class during the sum- mer vacation; but fortunately there were others to join us at that point in our journey through college. That year found us beginning to realize that we were fast becoming men and women, who could not afford to shirk the duties that devolved upon us. We began to have some conception of what a college course meant, though hazy it might have been, which made us better workers and better thinkers, and gave us a clearer vision into the proper attitude toward men and things. The third year we were still a l.ttle smaller numerically; but larger in class spirit, in will power, in ambition, in aspiration, in brains, and in a conception of what real life is. Talents of various forms are not lacking in our Class, for, in most of the activities of college life we are able to find Junior representatives. One member of the Junior Class has been star player on the Varsity Basket-Bali team for two sessions. There are also Juniors on other Varsity teams, who are popular among the athletic fans. We have also furnished some of Lenoir ' s good debaters, orators, and musicians. There is ye . another year to spend under the guidance, direction, and motherly care of Lenoir, which we hope will be done without a vacancy in our ranks. After this time, we will commence many histories in the grim realities of life. — Robert O. McCoy, Historian Fifty-two Jnrior Olass Poem LIVING soul of mortal man, o Thou who in darkness has begun A dreadful voyage out upon Life ' s boisterous sea ! No living plan By which the shore might e ' er be found Was thine, when locked within thy ground. But knowledge with her light serene Shone through the darkness on thy way; Thy soul, too, saw once more the day Where thou didst dwell while pure and clean, That hope as in dark nights of yore Might guide thy ship of life ashore. As we now leave our Junior Year, May that pure light shine brighter still That, though the dashing waves may fill Our vessel, we shall never fear, But with our backs turned on the night Pursue the shore — Eternal Light. — H.

Patterson Fifty-six Fifty-seven History ®fl ih Sspismsrs ©lass SHD HE Class of Nineteen Hundred and Eighteen had its initiation as a college class at H Lenoir College, September 1, 1914. Many of the members of this unique Class were new — not only to each other, but also new to routine of college activities. There was no taunting of the upper classmen. Some of the Sophomores and Juniors one night ventured to advise all rats to lie low. We immediately demanded an explanation. These worthies meekly informed us that all this was done for the Preps, and that it was not intended for us. We soon set to work with a will. There were many hardships ; we made mistakes daily. The work seemed hard and heavy, but we kept on, always having in mind our motto — Per Aspera ad Astra. Throughout the two years we have plodded on; now a familiar face would drop out — perhaps gone forever ; now one would fall in line with us ; but all have had a deep love for their Class, and a still deeper and stronger love for their College. During our two years we had many enjoyable occasions, yet I believe some, or most, of our boys have suffered at times from a disease prevalent at co-educational schools, caused by a Miss-understanding. Then, at certain stages in our scholastic growth, some of the Faculty who are jealous of our progress persist in erecting bars that act as sieves through which only the fine sand is able to seep. Our Class is well represented in the Art, Music, and Expression rooms. They also say that we are going to have some expert cooks. However, the most important and the most to be cherished are our attainments in scholarship. One of our members won the Scholarship Medal for ' 14- ' 15. Whatever happens, we are determined to trample failure under foot, and mount ever higher toward success. — J. C.

We entered the Freshman Class this session. A number of new stu- dents, whom we gladly welcomed, cast their lot with us at the beginning of the present year. During the latter part of September, 1915, the first Class meeting was called. At this meeting, officers were elected, a motto was chosen, the colors were selected, and a committee was appointed to select a yell. We had an enrollment of fifty members. We also had several other meetings during the year, whenever we had business to transact. At the beginning of school, the higher classmen — especially the Sophs — called us Freshies and Greenies ; but we paid little attention to this, and after they saw that their taunting and jeering was of no avail they began to look upon us with a more benign aspect. We were well represented in athletics. We had members on the baseball, basket-ball, and tennis teams. The Freshman Class was the best represented in basket-ball of any Class in Lenoir College this year. If they keep up this basket-ball spirit as they have done heretofore, they will w n some notable victories for their College. A number of our boys and girls are taking extra work in Business or Music, and they have made a decided success. We feel that the Faculty is proud of us, because it has been so kind to us. We have toiled patiently with our work during the year, and have spent the time very pleasantly and successfully together? The majority of us expect to return in the fall, and we extend a hearty welcome to all who wish to join our Class when we assemble again. — Class Historian Sixty-four Pr ihrnah Class P@®n WE, a Class of fifty strong, With all our troubles and our fears, Ask your help as we prolong Our daily tasks for coming years.

Hb Location and Environment ENOIR COLLEGE is situated in Hickory, N. C, on the banks of beautiful Cripple Creek. The location is very dangerous; the adjacent pea-vineyard furnishes food all the year ' round. Recreation Plenty of outdoor exercise is necessary for the digestion of hash and beans. Trunk- carrying from Highland Hall to Oakview was instituted for this purpose. Religious Education The spirit of Christianity influences the entire College. Every Sunday morning, all pupils who cannot get excused attend Sunday School and church. In the afternoon, one hour is set aside for slumbering and writing love-letters. Social Life Our chief aim is to make our young ladies and young gentlemen socially efficient. For this reason the Warpath was established. The young ladies are permitted to receive young men callers while at home during the Christmas holidays. General Outfit Every student is required to bring from home a photograph of mother and father, an extra pair of shoes, and one pair of opera glasses. Special Requirements — Young ladies: Bottle of Hoyt ' s perfume. Young men: One red tie. The Library This provides access to the best literature — such as Puck, Good Housekeeping, and Life. These cannot be taken from the library, nor can they be read there ; they are for ornamentation only. Department of Expression Special lessons will be given to those desiring to learn the Lenoir yell, and how to make a graceful bow. One hundred fifty-two Department of Music This aims to provide a complete and thorough knowledge of ragtime musx. Systematic study of the proper way of holding hands is of the greatest importance.

Monday nights, recept.ons, and ushers at recitals are provided especially for this branch. Free lessons will be given, nightly, by the teachers, to all the sub-Freshmen. Art Requirements: One mirror, one box of rouge, and a generous supply of paint. German Entrance specifications: A full knowledge of the War, and unrestrained loyalty to the Kaiser.
