From 1891 till 1901 he labored that Lenoir-Rhyne misht never take a back- ward step; but all forward toward the realization of the high purpose and aim of its founders, namely: a school which should afford the best mental culture pos- sible, in all departments of human knowledge upon Christian principles . . . 19 7 .J „  7 t: (mTSSSmi ' WwSmwik MBnef w- r f -sa - ' «i I ,1(11 ilAI.I, TEAM OF 1909 Thirty-Five Years 01 Progress It was recorded in tin- Lutlu-ran Teniit ' sset ' synod niinutt-s of i(S9J; Lenoir College, Hickory, N. C, is also tor the coeducation of the sexes. It is in a very prosperous condition. The attenchince is lariie and increasing. It deserves the care and patronage of our people. When we reniemher that on May 5, i8gi, a wagon load of stiulents and faculty members of Concordia College, at Conover, had journeyed up to Hickory to clean up the bad for snakes thicket of brush on the present college campus, Lenoir-Rh ' ne was indeed making rapid progress. At a stormy special session in 1890, synod turned down Caiit. Walter Lenoir ' s offer of the campus and thirty-eight one-acre lots. Concordia, established as a high school in 1877, and as a college in 18S1. was retained as the official school. In 1 89 1, Dr. R. A. oder, president of Concordia, resigned his position and gave his personal note with J. C. Aloser, W. P. Cline, and A. L. Crouse for $10,000 to take the I enoir proposition. Col. J. G. Hall was Capt. Lenoir ' s representative in these deal- ings. i I. f BASEBALL TEAAI OF I g03 . The old Highland Aca(k ' m building already on the cam|nis opened Se|iteniber l, 1891, as Highland College, under the direction of these four. On January 4, i.Si)2, the institution was incorporated as Lenoir College in honor of Ca|it. V. V. Lenoir. The main building was erected, synod took the college uiuler its care, and assunied responsibility for the current expenses, between the years 1891 and igoi. Dr. R. L. Fritz, present professor of ALithematics, took charge in IQCI and re- mained president until I ' li ' ). In 11)112, Oakview hall was erected ; in igi) ' ), the left wing was added. In 1907, Highlanil dormitory was built; in 1907-08, St. Andrew ' s College church was completed ; in 1912-1 ji, oder science building was erected and equipped. In 1910, Lenoir-Rhyne students did graduate work at L . X. C. without examina- tion. In 1915, the standard was raised to A-grade rating and the college was approved by the state board of education. For six years during Dr. Fritz ' s eighteen-year admin- istration, synod made no appropriation, the college being practically self-sup|iorting. The faculty was greatly underpaid .and o erworked during this time. In 1915-16, Dr. Fritz an d Mrs. R. A. oder raised $51 .000 endowment. In the fall of 1 91 9, a sum of $310,000 was reached in a two month ' s campaign. p OAKVIEVV ORCHESTRA OF 1 906 Dr. Fritz resigned and was succeeded in January, 1920, by J. C. Peery, D. D., who was then professor of IJible in the institution. Dr. Fritz was recalled as professor of Mathematics. The progress under Dr. Peery ' s administration was notable. The number of stu- dents in regular collegiate departments increased from 75 to 300. Preparatory work was disbanded and the number of volumes in the library was materially increased. In i()23, Mr. D. E. Rhyne gave $300,000 to the college endowment fund and $350,000 additional was seemed in pledges in an appeal dri e during the spring months. The name of the college was changed to Lenoir-Rhyne in 1923 in honor of our benefactor, Mr. D. E. Rhyne. Cline Memorial g ' mnasium was completed in 1924, twenty acres adjoining the present campus were puchased, Hickory athletic field was constructed on the newly acquired tract, and a full time athletic coach employed. In 1925, Dr. Peery resigned the presidency in order to re-enter the ministry. P. E. Monroe, D. D., former president of Summerland College and pastor of Holy Trinity Lutheran church, took active charge at the request of the Board of Trustees and Lenoir- Rhyne entered her thirty-fifth year of progress.

He is slow and easy going but will make a splendid school teacher, which is the profession he contemplates. tf 31 c. 19- Hugh Perry Rarrixger. A.B. of HICKORY, N. C.

Coming to us from our ancient rival, Ca- tawba College, Charlie entered our class in the Freshman year. He has a pleasing disposi- tion and is always ready to serve the best interests of the college at every opportunity, His sunny disposition has won him many friends at L. R. C.

But outward appearances are sometimes de- ceiving, at least in this case, for the frown is often dispelled by a smile which bespeaks a friendly and very likeable nature. Ar- ledge ' s sarcasm is one of his outstanding quali- ties. It is the kind of sarcasm that is witty and hinnoroLis and always brings forth a smile. Aside from this, he is a good student, being a chemistry shark and a very efficient assistant in the chemistry laboratory. (-• 33 a Gilmer Ray Browx, A.B. Beulah Catherixe Carpexter. A.R.

Red has a big capacity for both work and play and has never failed to apply his ability in both in a cretHtahle manner. He has an unusual reasoning power nnd is talented with (riginality. He teases and enjo ' s being teased. Red is a hard worker atul has helped much in keeping the Euronian society at its heights. He is also noted for doing the sun dance on the baseball diamond. Whatever Red un- dertakes, that never-say-die spirit vill bring him success. CROUSE, N. c. History and Economics Philalethian Literary Society.

Always sincere in her work and striving to make our class better, she has shown her abili- ties to all with whom she has come into con- tact. Beulah has been a demure little girl, but it was always in her heart to he ' p others and be a friend to all. She is ready for a good time when the proper occasion comes up, so indeed we have a splendid classmate in Beulah. 34 EnwARi) Carter, A.B. FrAXKI.IV PlI ' Rfi; CaL BI.F, A.H. r ' IIICKOKI, X. C.

As a student he has made a record of which he may be proud. For four years he has been an industrious society worker. One of the man ' honors that has come to him is the managership of this season ' s basketball team. With it all Jamie is quite a ladies ' man, blossoming into full flower dur- ing his Senior year.

We all go to her for advice. In a play, Lib can capably handle almost an ' part. She has a gracious manner not only on the stage but off, and that is just one of the manv reasons wh we all love her. 37 TT-- _ - i V Ni-i,L DeLaxe, A.B. or HICKORY, N. C.

She is a combination of (juietness, mndests ' and cheerfulness all in one.

Joby assisted in coaching the teams this year, and his heart was in their success. Our class can- not boast of a finer member and we will watch his career as a coach with interest. .MOORESVILLE, . C.

He is an active religious worker, enthusi- astic society member and a tine college booster. Serving in various student organizations, he has ilisplayed executive powers that will doubtless reward him greatly in life. K.

S. 60 7 -y 6 r ' .iy Senior Class History r SEEMS hut a few days since our tir t appearance at clear old E. R. ( ' . With nur introduction to tile many new customs with which «e were very unfamiliar, our names were added to the student family, and were received forever into the folds of a cherished Alma Mater. Now let us review what the life of this class has been. Early in our existence the class met, and elected Luther Boliek as its leader for the year. We chose as our motto, On- ward and Upward, and the colors lavender and white. Inimediateh ' , members of our class were called to leadership in the literary societies, religious organizations and other college activities. Others upheld Eenoir-Rhyne in athletics, and won honor for themselves, and for our class. The following September witnessed the realization of our dreams. Behold, we were Sopho- mores. We were sorry that some of our classmates did not return this year, hut .-everal new members were gladly welcomed into our midst. During this year eight of the football men, three of the basketball men were selected from our class. We had the honor of originating the wearing of the green caps at this institution. As a whole the ear was pleasant and profitable, for the class of ' 26 was ever striving onward and upward. In the forensic branch of college activities our class is well represented. Our representatives in the Fresh-Soph debate were instrumental in making it a success. Our class was well repre- sented on the society anniversaries. In literar ' attainments the girls ha e out distanced the boys, capturing several first distinctions and a large ntmiher of second distinctions. The class as a hole led the college in percentage of honor students during the years ' 23 and ' 25. Wlien we became Juniors our conceptions of life were broadened and eidarged. This enr was marked by many new events. The girls of our class had the honor of putting on the Big and Little Sister movement to form greater friendships between the Freshies and their sister class. ' J he dramatic talent was proved by the great success of the play, Am I Inlruding, put on in December. The Glee Club is indebted to us for some of its best material. Our class is also well repre- sented in the college band. Man of our boys have the ministrv in iew; others showing inclinations to:vard the field of medicine, commerce, finance and education. Some of our members have dedicated their lives to foreign missions. We feel sure they will bring glory to themselves arid to our class. What success we have realized is due in a large measure to the aid and inspiration we have recei ' etl from our kind instructors. We thank them for the itieals of higher and greater things they have given us. Finally, we have come to the last revelaticm ol our days at Lenoir-Rhyne. We now stand ready to go out Irimi her walls, resolved individually and collectively ever to strive in the future as we ha e in the past and to add more laurels to the many already heaped upon our dear Alma Mater. Let us all work constantly for the advancement of a greater Lenoir-Rhyne College in the years to come. J. M. M., Historian. 62 Class Propkecy () I ' RC)PHES ' or not to prophesy is not the question whicli confronts me. The decision is not mine to make for I have been tohl to ]iropliesy anil no matter how long one puts it off there will come a time when the prophec - must be made. Driven b - these and similar thoughts I had wandered far into the dense woodland surrounding the athletic field at L. R. C The reason for this aimless wandering was that the class had given me the task of fore- telling the future for its members, the time allowed me had expired and the pages on which it was to be written were still blank. After several hours of wandering night closed in cjii all the woodland and the moon shown bright in the few cleared spaces that were to be found in this seemingly impene- trable wilderness. Hardly able to go on any farther I sat down near the edge of one of these clearings and slept. Very soon after I had fallen asleep a loud noise caused me to spring up in great fright and before me stood a large white elephant with purple polka dots covering his body. This in itself was a strange sight, but the ele|ihant began to speak to me, telling of the wonderful powers he possessed to tell the future, saying, I am the seventh son of the seventh daughter of the seventh river, which is called the Nile. This is the seventh day of the se enth year of m life and because of this I am gifted more than any animal or person to foretell the li es of all living things. After saying this he sat down and placed a large lighted cigar in his mouth. Bid- ding me remain silent he began to smoke the cigar. As he smoked, the lighted end of the cigar glowed in the near darkness of the clearing. In each glow, due perhaps to my sleepy condition, I could see familiar faces, but in different settings from any which I had ever seen them. Soon realizing that 1 was seeing into the future my pencil began to picture each scene before it faded. The first person that I recognized was Edgar Mauney, who was shown as giving lessons in salesmanship to his staff of insurance agents. By wa - of proving that he was a good salesman he had just sold a deaf and dumb man a policy Insuring him against the loss of his voice. The next glow of the cigar showed a large and very wonderful athletic field upon which three different games were being played at the same time. A glance at the 63 score board showed that Rob Cleinmer ' s baseball team, aided by the work of Pap Rhyne, the best shortstop in the world, had just won the national basketball cham- pionship. A look around the field showed me that Bob was being congratulated by his wife. In another part of the field the coach, manager and star end of a professional foot- ball team were in conference trying to find some way to keep an English polo team from winning from them. As the conference broke up I saw that Eb Sox was the manager, Jobie Hawn was coach and J- ' ratt Karriker was the star performer of the team. After this I was only given short glimpses of the several members of the class. These showed me that Jesse Amick, K. Loy Lineberger and Wike Lippard had formed a preaching team in which all three occupied the same pulpit and said the same things at the same time. This combination was doing very much good in the whole U. S. for their fame was wide spread. Next I was shown a city that was almost entirely occupied by members of my class. Ken Hewitt was city manager, Ted Hoover was the city ' s construction expert, while Grady and (irace with Charlie and Pauline were considered leaders of the married set in its social life. In another part of the city Blake Moose was acting as press agent for Jettie who was touring the world giving lectures on Woman ' s Use of Her Freedom. At that moment, however, she was buying expensive jewelry from Frank Cauble, the leading diamond merchant of the world. At the busiest part of this town Jamie Coulter had mounted a soap box and was delivering a stirring address for Socialism. So strong were his arguments that the millionaire mill owner, Frank Lipe, had gi ' en almost his whole fortune to the cause until (jeorge Harris had pro en by the same arguments that Jamie had led Frank astray with his outcry. Here the elephant ' s cigar went out and he handed me a newspaper in which there was an advertisement of a sale being put on at Luther ' s bargain store where e eryone was to be treated fairly. There was also an account of the near breaking up of a rescue mission run by the I Iisses Sox, Aderholdt, Davis, Roof and Huffstetler, caused b) ' the return of Ciussie ' s sailor from a long cruise. However the mission had secured liriam Shirey to take Gussie ' s ]ilace as soon as she could get back from the island where she was a missionary. I |ion closer examination I found that the paper carried articles about Jake Seaboch and Pete Roof, leading chain store operators, and also the opening bill for a play by Nancy Hall, starring Ruth Potter and Lib Hahn. Here also I found a notice of the ojiening of an exclusive sch ool for girls bv Beulah Carpenter, ] Iary Vir- ginia Fisher and Carrie Yoder. In the sporting news I found Postmaster-General Ray Brown congratulating Baxter Moose upon winning the all round athletic champion- ship of the Olympic games. ule I was readmg an article on tlie man.agement of dairies by Princie Cline, 64 the advertisement of a college where H. P. Barringer was the assistant professor in Education and Claud Wolff had just completed res?arch work in the most advanced courses of Chemistry and Physics, struck my eye. At this point I noticed that the elephant had anished and in his place was a radio over which I heard a lecture on Home Alaking and Hreakinc , by the DeLane sisters and a series of songs by Sam Sox. Then I was surprised to hear the voice of Albert Alillcr announcing, This is A-L-I-F, broadcasting a list of escaped crim- inals — here I became frightened and ran.

Tg ' K I O R to the dawn of our college career, we had heard the honors and W_ B ;; Jq glories of old L. R. C proclaimed by many a solemn voice. Our inter- l %r sts were aroused and we looked forward to our entrance in September, ' v Aj?) -s ' 9 3- Never shall we forget that memorable day which was the be- ginning of a new life. The members of this unique class were new — not only to each other — but also new to the routine of college activities. Of course, we went down under the names of Rats and Freshies, but we did not mind this, for our class was very optimistic. Our Freshman ear passed pleasanth and quickly. In the following September our band entered the walls of L. R. C. as bright and happy Sojihomores. A few of our number were lost during the summer months, but others were added. We were looked up to and respected by the Freshmen, and by o ir exemplary conduct and consideration for others, we won the recognition of the higher classes and good will of the faculty. We put forth every effort to abolish hazing and after many difficulties a petition was signed by every member of the class, thereby giv- ing niir class the distinction and honor of being the only class to get rid of hazing. At the beginning of the 1925 school term the Juniors returned with a realization that the - were no longer boys and girls but men and women, seeking for those things that will fit them t(] li e a life of service to mankind. With this iew in mind, the class is striving hard to grasp the things that are high and lofty. Practically all the members of our class returned this year. ( iH ' class has won distinction in all the activities of the college. The Jimiors have furnished many worthy products to the Glee Club. In the Sophomore year the two assistant cheer leaders were members of our class, while in our Junior year the cheer leader and both, assistants came from our class. The spirit of our class cannot be surpassed. Baxter (iillon, football Captain for 1025, sacrificed his life on the football field for his college. On the athletic field the number of athletes, both boys and girls, are unusually great in comparison with other classes. Some of our class ha e the ministry in iew, while some of the girls are preparing ' , for deaconess woik. In scholarship our class has ranked near the top, many receiving first lion(n ' exery year and still more recei ing second honor. - ' The dramatic ability of the class has been demonstrated in the Literary Societies, . debates and pla s. Another year will be spent at L. R. C, then the class of ' 27 will V show the world just what it really can do. ' | R. I. C, Ciasi Ilistoiiaii. ,1 80 ( ' : -r.--- : -x:-r: 7 4 mm ciLAss OF Sopnomore Class History iT WAS on a beautiful Sfpteiiibcr nioriiing in 1924 that one hundred and ■jx twenty-eif ht boys and girls made their first appearance at Lenoir-Rhyne f College, jireparing to ascend the first rung of the college ladder. At first the Sojihomores jeered them and called them (jreenies and P reshies, but the one hundred anil twenty-eight showed that they possessed the mettle that would not be put down. However, they struggled past all the difficulties and stumbling blocks common to all Freshmen everywhere and survived, coming out strong, steady, and smiling. Early in the year the Freshman class was organized with Floyd Warren as presi- dent, l nfortunately, he did not return the second semester so our vice-president took his place. The Sophomores entertained the Freshies with a delightful party which cheered many of the weeping ones. In the early spring the Freshies were the dignified hosts and hostesses to the Sophomores. Through the year the Freshman class played an im- portant role in the college life, its members ha ing taken part in all the various activities on the campus. Now, here we are Sophomores. One long year has passed and we have ascended the second riuig of the college ladder. A few of our classmates deserted us but we wel- comed many new members who cast their lot with us. A great sorrow came to us when one of our classmates, ( Jertrude Berry, was killed i[i an automobile accident. Although she had just come to us many had learned to love and admire her and her death cast a gloom over the entire class. In the early part of the year we entertained the Freshmen and Business classes at a Kid party in Cline gymnasium. Then, later to avenge ourselves for the treatment received from the Sophomores last year, we proceeded to take our vengeance on the poor, innocent incoming Freshies. We are proud that our valiant warriors have won, both in our Freshman and Sophomore years, the Fresh-Soph fights. Today the Sophomore class occupies an outstanding place in the college. It is well represented in all phases of L. R. C. life. The great success of the P resh-Soph debate is due in a large part to our excellent debaters. Especially do we find Sophomores taking a prominent place in football, basketball, baseball, and tennis. A large per cent of the letter men in the various forms of athletics for the past two years have been from tlie class of ' 28. And now since we have been successful in the past we hope that we will succeed in the future for we know that labor conquers all things. We are striving daily to live up to our motto — Nothing but the best is good enough. E. R.

The history of o ir class has only begun and our future remains unseen. The big tin drama our class must play during the four years at Lenoir-Rhyne College ' BQ has only started, and we shall try to portray that. We came to Lenoir-Rhyne at the beginning of the school year, Sep- Our class was not so large as Freshman classes heretofore, but never- theless our material was good and opportunities great. Below the outward appearances of our members we could see traits of character that will make our class stand out at the last. Thus we can say, Quality, not (Juantit). Freshmen? ' es, as green Freshies we entered school from every section of th:: country. College was strange and new and there was a different environment from high school life. Hazing, by the Sophomores, was a dread to all of us until we foimd such was not permitted here. We were mystified by the rules upper classmen talked so much about. We rmied the Seniors and their numerous privileges, but such come not to Freshmen. After matriculation thmgs went better and when the first homesickness blew over, we came to love old Lenoir-Rhyne dearly and cherish her colors. ' 1 he rules were ex- plained by faculty and students. We learned to know instructors as persons who were always anxious to help us. We were tasting higher things. Our idea of the unfeeling Sophomores anished immediately when we were enter- tained by them at a Kiel Party. We soon realized the comradeship of the u|iperclass- men and found them good si)orts. We organized our class by electing officers ami choosing the colors, flower, and motto. Aided by a capable president much was accomplished. We soon learned the various organizations of the college and took part in them. At the annual Hallowe ' en party we had the honor of having the best stunt. Many of our members are on the various athletic teams. Many representatives are also in the band, Cilee Club, and the other organizations. We are all |iroud of our fellow classmen. The horrors of quarterh- exams were survived and we started out to do better things. We diligently took up oui woik again after the Christmas holidays and suc- cessfully passed our mid-term exams. This is only our beginning. Liy we still attempt to reach the top during the four years of our college life. A ' lay we back up our institution and sible, that we may be proud of the training we received here, for what we get. ALay we ever live iii to this.

Captain Baxter Monroe Gillon Baxter, better known to his teammates and college chums as just (111, was captain of the greatest football team Lenoir-Rhyne has ever had and was leading his team on toward a victory when the Great Referee summoned him to the happy hunting ground where only tliose warriors go who play the game hard and fair. Those who saw him play the game he loved so well always were startled at the terrific drive with which he shot into an opposing line. Those who played with him testify he never pulled a dirty play on friend or foe. He was true blue, e er a gentleman. He was the incarnation of Lenoir-Rhyne sjiirit, a spirit he had when he gave his life to uphold the honor of the institution that be- lieved in him and knew he would carry on. When Gillon had to be taken out of the Milligan game, suffering unbearably, he told the 1925 football team, I can ' t go back fellows, but hit ' em that much harder for me. So it was to be expected after the tragedy at High Point that the team would assume the task their Captain left to be done. How well they did it is shown by the 45 to O score against East Tennessee State Teachers College and the 41 to O victory over Guilford on Thanksgiving day. The boys cried when forced out of a game. They wanted to keep faith with Baxter and none can say they failed in the attempt. Gillon, ivc respect you for your manhood. H e stand uncovered at the mention of your name. Lenoir-Rhyne is proud to hold up her head and call you her son! ' ) Football R. N. GURLEY llitid Coacli Ciiirley came to Lenoir-Rhyne in the fall r 1924. He immediately turned out a football leani undefeated on Hickory field. Again tfie process was repeated in 1925. Dick is liived by the fellows on the teams as a man wliii is alile to Iniild and mold ability into those vt do not possess it. He teaches his players to think on the field, which is proba- bly ' the mo in force behind his success. H. C. HAWN AssislanI Coach Joby is the first assistant coach Lenoir- Rhyne has possessed. He made Gurley a val- uable helper in all three sports. Ha vn plans to enter the high school field next year, know- ing he leaves a proud record in the wake of his first attempt at coaching. EVERETTE SOX Mana jfr Sox distinguished himself in the position of football manager. He carried his team through a hard season, successfully met pre- carious moments, and got the business men of Hickory and college alumni to buy the team gold footballs after it was over. 116 SiGMON FuUhiiik Hoover Giuifii Baldwin ' Halfback Owl Ilalflnuk L. R. C, 0— William and Mary, 44 The football season opened this year not with a pre-seavMi battle, but with the Mountain Bears jumping right into a mid-season game with William and Mary College on foreign soil. The game, as the score would indicate, was not a walk away. Fumbles in Lenoir ' s hackfield gave William and Mary opportunities to make their touchdowns. I ' he feature for the Bears was the playing of the line, especially close to their own goal line, and the work of the two tackles, Big Beam and Amick. Overcash at center put up a splendid exhibition. Mule Pasour completely smothered all attempts to gain around his end. Hoover broke through the Indians ' line to smear up two punts. L. R. C, 9— Millig an, 2 The next Saturday aijain found the Bears on the trail, K ' ing to Tennessee for their second game. This game made the club standing .500 as Milligan ' s pigskin was a contribution to our trophy collection when the final whistle was blown. The work of the line as a whole again was in the limelight with Karriker and llood in the forefront. In the rear ranks, Spurlock, playing vith an injured shoulder, stood out in that he scored all of L. R. ' s points. Sigmon and Whisen- hunt also showed their ability under fire in their first game. L. R. CO; Wake Forest, 49 October loth, the team tasted the first and only setback at the hands of a foe in North Caro- lina, the Bears losing to the Demon Deacons from Wake Forest, last year ' s state champions, 49 to o. The weakness of the men behind the line was displayed in their iiiability to break up forward passes. Wake Forest completed eleven passes for a total gain of 203 yards. Spurlock was out of . m 117 MORETZ End Karrikf.r End Steelman Guard Whisenhunt Halfback the tray on accoiMit of injuriev u taiIle(l in the Milligan f!a?ne. The work of the line was up to standard as is shown by the fact that not over three do vns were made hy Wake Forest through the line. Pasour at end and the work of Gillon while he was in the game were the only Lenoir features. L. R. C., 10 — Emory and Henry, The Mounlain Uears came out of their retreat to trample on, tear up, and claw the warriors from Emory and Henry for lo points. This contest was played on a slightly wet field before a big Home-coming day crowd. The team as a whole did their stuff in this game for there were numerous individual stars. Rig Chief Owl was the outstanding star, making the only touch- down of the game. He was closely followed by Cox, who showed real generalship all through the game and spotted the fans to a field goal from a difficult angle on the 40-yard line. In the line, the ends played a wonderful game. Moretz was the most conspicuous player on the field. He was all over the field vhen tackling was to be done. Karriker added to the fans ' delight when he took a pass from Cox which was good for 36 yards. A big celebration followed this great battle. L. R. C, 17 — Erskine, 6 The next game was also played at home against the strong team from South Carolina, Erskine College. The visitors had one of the best lines seen on the home field and also a powerful aerial attack which netteil them their only touchdown. ' hisenhvnit was the gaining strength for the Mountain Bears, taking many beautiful passes for good gains, one resulting in a 6-point marker. ii8 --•!;- Cox OuarterhiKk OVERCASH Center Beam Tackle Pasour End He also displayed his ability as a broken field runner vlien he carried the ball through the whole Erskine team for 40 yards. Owl was a great factor in the win while Ted Hoover did his usual sensational stuff in the form of tackling, blocking punts, and downing the Seceders behind the line of scrimmage. L. R. C, 0— Roanoke, 13 October 31st, found the team fighting in slush and snow at Roanoke. The greater part of the contest was a punting duel between Cox and Miller, vith Cox having the advantage. Amick was knocked unconscious on the opening kick-off and Sigmon and Pasour were knocked out in the first five minutes of play. These injuries, necessitated substitutions which usually means a weaker team, but here the scrapping Carolinians put up one of the toughest battles the Maroons have had in quite awhile. The substitutes showing up best were Rhodes, end; Boyd and Rhyne, tackles; Steelman, end; Poole, guard, with Rhodes the best. 15eam and Hood, towering tackles, were in almost every play and were outstanding in the line. L. R. C, 28— High Point, 14 Too much Spurlock! A great deal of ' hisenhlnlt ! good portion of Pasour! is the storv in a few words of the battle with the Purple Panthers from High Point College. The game was fast, hard fought, and really good football all the way through. Cox and Gleason, opposing quarters, showed good head work. Spurlock was easily the outstanding player of the entire con- test, making three of the Mountain Bear ' s touchdo vns. Ciillon played a splendid game on the defense all duriiig the first half until he was forced to withdraw on account of injuries, too badly hurt to return to the game. Pasour was always down the field on punts and ready to down the 119 -2G ' Rhodes End Hood GlUlld COUI.THR llalfhaik Amick Tiukh- receiver in his tracks. He nlvi ti ok a torwanl pass for a gain of 55 yards just before the end of the first half. Outstanding; in the line, which as a whole did excellent work, were Amick, Hood and Overcash. L. R. C, 45— E. T. S. T., Cox, Spurlock, Owl, and W ' hiseiihuiit came into their own against East Tennessee Teacher ' s College, two veeks later, in a history making battle on Hickory field, when the most points ever scored by L. R. ( ' . over a college team were piled up. The line worked in perfect unison with the hackfield. In the third quarter Spurlock took the ball from the kickoff on the lo-yard line and before the referee ' s whistle sounded again he had added 6 more points to the score; as he had traveled 90 yards through the entire Tennessee team, stitf arming them to the right and left. Cox pla ed his best in this game, making several long end runs. Owl and ' hisenhunt got loose for good gains behind good interference. There were no individual stars in the line for it worked as a well-oiled piece of machinery. L. R. C, 41— Guilford, The Turkey Day Contest was played on Hickory field with the Quakers from Guilford College. This game brought about the happy ending of a very successful season for Lenoir-Rhync, with a percentage of .667. The entire backfiehl sparkled in this game. Cox, Baldwin, and Owl played sensationally, Cox stepping off 90 yards froni the kickoff for a touchdown in the first quarter. The entire line worked as a machine as shown by the first downs of the game, L. R. C. 16-G. C. 3, with Hoover, Moretz, and Beam the main cogs. Hoover, Moretz, and Karriker sung their swan song in this clash. 1 -.1 • ' Q.f!jj 1. •) H O o Hooif Com g Crowd Sees Gii ey s Team W n Its F si Hon Gan c m vi ,J, ' l Dies Osl8 tines SHS ' ame ' lhCaaieSdtarda, i k v„k, .

The result was that about twenty men, f S s old and new, reported. This squad was later cut down to about twelve. The material was somewhat limited this year, many of last year ' s squad not = — ' — returning to college this term. Those lost by graduation were Brown, Sechler, guards; and Gilbert, forward. Those failing to return were Clemmer and Miller, forwards; and Mosteller, Barrier, and Thornburg, substitutes. The old men returning to form the nucleus of the new machine were Moose, center; Karriker, Overcash, Boger, and Spurlock, guards; and Whisenhunt and Hood, substitute forward and center of the ' 25 varsity. With this material plus Hodge, Coulter, Baxter, and Patterson, Coach Cjurle ' has moulded a team that has up to this time been able to do credit to itself both defensively and offensively. The Mountain Bear offense has piled up 579 points while opponents have pierced the defense for 369, an average of 29 to iS points per game, respectively. A Christmas trip was arranged with Belmont, Concord, and Salisbury Y ' s this year. It re- sulted in a 2 to I decision for L. R. C, our boys losing only to the strong Salisbury Y team. N. C. State accepted our offer and came to Hickory for the first time. A stiffer schedule was ar- ranged this year for the Bears than in many years previous. All indications are that when the final curtain is rung down the result will be better than a fifty-fifty break, which means a highly successful season. The 1926 Schedule Jan. 26 — Weaver, 10; L. R.

He is an excellent dribbler, works the floor vell, shoots accurate!}-, and in general plays the game hard and clean. This is Moose ' s last year at L. R. C. LUTHER HODGE Forivard With several years of playing and coaching experience behind him, Hodge joined the Len- iiir-Rhyne basketball crew this year and is one nt the main cogs of the Bear scoring machine, a regular terrtu ' on the offense. JAMIE rOTLTER Manaijer A l etter fellow to keep the odds and ends of a basketball team together could hardly have been found in the whole student body than Jamie. He always has his eye open for an opportunity to help the pla ers and visiting teams. HTGH OVERCASH Guard This tall lad is usually assigned the posi- tion of stationary guard. t)n account of his length he can bring the ball from under the opponents ' basket. He is a hard man to get around and his long arms can grab the ball nut of the ether high above the other fel- l ' t ' s head. CLIFTON HOOD Criilcr Clif ' s height and jumping ability gives him an ad antage over most opponents. He passes well and plays a consistent game. 12+ i HENRY BOGER Guard Henry has been fighting two years tor a position on the varsity. He has played in most of the games this year and has made a good showing. ALBERT SPURLOCK; Guard Shakespeare said, Lo, what manner of men are these, that can do almost anything the please. Spur is one of these men. He has taken up basketball and has made good. He is a good defensive man and plays the floor like a veteran. PRATT KARRIKER Guard Captain Karriker is playing his last year for the Ciarnet and Black. He has been play- ing both guard and forward this year with success at either position. On the defense Pratt shows up best. He works the floor well, is a good dribbler, and is able to ring the hoops frequently. JOHNSON WHISENHUNT For ' u.-ard Wormy was an old reliable on the Junior Varsity last session, graduating this year to the first squad. He has speed on the floor and an eve for the basket. HUGH COULTER Forivard Shorty is a fast and scrappy little for- ward. He comes from Startown H. S. and has performed well in his first year on the basketball squad. 125 , r •] Cauble Blackvvei.der BOGER Lenoir-Rhyne Pep AVe were tortimate in seeming Cauble, lilaekwelder and Roger as varsity cheer leaders this year. With this peppy trio to lead our songs and cheers, a strong spirit among the students was always present on the side- lines. These three young people were just wads of pep at every game. rhe were streaks of fire and snap when the Hlack antl (larnet teams needed that stirring encouragement from the students which is so neces- sary to help produce winning teams. Their antics ne er alloweii the spirit to slow u|i. Most of our teams during the past three ears have made records of which a college with a far larger student body might well be proud. Lenoir-Rhyne is looking forward to great expansion in athletics. We al- ready have a splendid new athletic field, a newly completed gymnasium, and one of the best coaches in the South in the person of Dick Gurley. The spirit of the st idents will aid largely in making this worthy develop- ment a success. 126 H Plini] Baseball Review, 1925 G5C Q W i HE 1925 Lenoir-Rh ne baseball season vas a success; although man ' games were lost to college nines in Carolina they were dropped only after the team had made a good showing against their opponents. Many new men, who had never played xj:i: — ' - f y college hall before, were on the club, but vith Dick Gurley ' s coaching and the var- 5 :: ] sity men that vere back we had a team of which the entire student body was proud. The first game was lost to Mars Hill hy a i to o score, on the home ground. Next in order came Elon 4, Lenoir-Rhyne 6, Brown pitching; E. T. S. T. 4, Lenoir-Rhyne 22, Lefty Homs- ley pitching; Tusculum 6, Lenoir-Rhyne 7, Moose pitching; Milligan 7, L. R. C. 3 ; Emory and Henr ' 2, Lenoir-Rhyne i. One of the best games ever witnessed by local students came on Easter Monday with Guilford, in Hickory. This game resulted in an 8 to 7 victory for the Lutherans. Brown and Homsley both did the twirling. Next came M. P. C. L 4, L. R. C. 12; Weaver 4, L. R. C. 5 ; Elon i, L. R. C. o ; Carolina 5, L. R. C. 4. Moose pitched this last game in grand style, and would have won with good support. High Point o, L. R. C 3 ; Ciuilford i, L. R. C. o; Wake Forest i, L. R. C. o; N. C. State 5, L. R. C, 4. Wake Forest came to Hickory for the last game of the season and again we were defeated 2 to I, by a margin of one run, as we were seven other times in this hard luck campaign. This ended the season and the entire student body joined in saying, Hats off to Dick Gurley and his 1925 baseball club. L. R. C. scored 76 runs and her opponents tallied 50. 127 •J (V-: Baseball Hazel Clemmer, Captain Catcher L Hazel Clemmer ran the team on the field like a veteran, catching a neat and consistent game behind the bat. His strong throwing arm caught many a thieving youth attempting to grab second base. Although his batting was not quite up to expectations, he was always fighting hard for a win. He will be missed in the varsity line-up this season as he is teaching school. Claude Frick Shortstop L Frick was fast and scrappy in his fielding between second and third. His wonderful throwing arm whipped the ball across the diamond like a streak. He could usually be depended on to get to first by either a base knock or a free pass, receiving more walks than any other player on the team. Claud Gilbert Second Base L Brought in from the outfield, Gil held tlown the keystone position. He was a fast man on the bases and ranked third in batting honors for the season, his blow in the ninth paving the way for the winning run against Guilford on Easter Monday. Gil made his third star last year. 128 X r ' ' O ' I. Baseball Baxter Moose Pitcher I. Moose has been the team ' s mainstay for the past three ' cars and as ai aln in the limelight last year. He tielded his position well and hit for a higher percentage thaii the average college outfielder. He pitclied his best games against Wake Forest and Carolina. Moose vas selected on Ciiirley ' s all- state team for ' 25, being commented on as one of the best pitchers ever pro- duced in Carolina. Fred Brown Pitcher L Last ear vas Fred ' s fourth on the diamond for Lenoir-Rhyne. During this time he made one of the greatest athletic records of any one ever at- tending the institution. He pitched his vva ' to victory man mitre times than he met defeat. Fie also knew how to put the wood behind the old pill. All three sports are missing Fred this year. Hr-RBERT HOMSLEY Pitcher L Sad Onion was the first left handed pitcher L. R. C. has had in several years. Left came through the col- legiate season in grand style. He pitched well against E. T. S. T., Elon, and Guilford and vas the winning re- lief pitcher on Easter Monday here with Guilford. Fie also fielded his position in a creditable manner. 1 129 Baseball Marvix Lentz Right Field L On account of sickness Lentz was unable to get started with the team. A sprained ankle kept him out for two more weeks. He only played in the final games but made a good showing against Wake Forest both in the field and at bat. His lick in the fifth sent Whisenhunt home from second to put us in the lead. Herbert Miller First Base L Chick went through his first year of college baseball like a house afire. He handled first like a oung Sislei. His hitting was of the highest type, practically winning the Elon and (luil- ford games on Hickory Field with a home run and a triple, respectiveh ' . Pr.att Karriker Third Base L Pratt had the best season of his career last year. After two weeks of sickness he tied up his place at third base by hard and honest work. He led the club in batting till the last game with a percentage of .3S4, being barely nosed out by four points in this game. Many put outs were recorded by way of Karriker to Miller. - ' •r Baseball AvERV Hardin Utility L Playing hib first year in the Cdl ' cs e community, Rabbit played a neat gajne in the outfield and infield as utili- ty man. There might have been better players on the defense but ery tew have been seen on the local lot that could run bases better and faster than our Rabbit. With three more years ahead of him at L. R. C. he will be heard from later. Ra Brown Outfield L Coming up from the scrub team, Red had a big year with the varsity nine. Batting from the left side ol the plate, he cudgled some timel and healthy blows against right-haiulcd pitching. Red ' s two sacker put us ahead 4 and 2 in the Carolina game. He played good ball while cavorting in the outer garden. Several times he executed the Sundance for the benefit of the bleacherites. Ro WhiSENHI XT Centerfield L ' Here ' s to the fastest outfielder that ever graced a L. R. C. uniform. Whis could be depended on to take care of any ball that came his way, especially by way of the air route. He covered more territory than a race horse could run around. Roy led the team in bat- ting, having his biggest day against East Termessee IVachers with t vo triples, a double and a single. He also hit well against Weaver, Elon, N. C. State and High Point. •1 ( 132 • ' ,!_ ' - ' -- t - -(. V Tennis Club 1. Members Wayne Pattersom Perry Crouch Edward Carter ' ERN oy Deal Forest Lorick Prof. E. L.

Lenoir-Rhyne expects to take part in the State Oratorical Peace Contest in April. Her representatives will be selected at a local contest several weeks prior to the State Contest. In argLunentation and debating, more guidance is now given. A squad of nine men has been formed, frona which after a number of pre- liniinaiy |iractices, the intercollegiate debaters are chosen. A dual debate ( ' ' , with Milligan College, Tennessee, on the question of the unified air service, will take place about April 17. Tentative arrangements also } have been made for a dual debate with (niilford College. ' The most important and outstanding debate of the year occurs April s. when the college meets the University of Pittsburgh in a debate on the ijuestion : Resolved, that the military and naval air forces of the United States should be united in a separate and independent de- 1. partment with a minister in the cabinet. Lenoir-Rhyne ' s three repre- . ' sentati es u dl ujihold the negative. The University of Pittsburgh, ■ j with an enrollment of about 7,01)0 students, is sending a debating team through the South, and oui ' college is fortunate in meeting such an outstanding school. The work in Oratory and Debate is uider the direction of Dr. Albert Keiser, head of the Department of English and Public Speaking, who has had much successful e |ierience in coaching, his team at Augustana College, Sioux Ealls, S. D., last year winning the state and the North- west Regional Pi Kappa Delta championship by being victorious in all their fourteen intercollegiate debates, her orator also winning the state and inter-state contests. 155 Annual Fresn-Soph Debate OF THE CRESTONIAN-EURONIAN LITERARY SOCIETIES Weilncsilay, January 2.S, 1926 Address of ll ' i lcomc Program Hugh Beam Oratian: Broken Lives .
