Spiritual realizations too subtle to be translated into the physical; too ethereal to be transmitted by class room lecture, and too transcendental to human knowledge to be captured by rhetoric or calcu- lated bv mathematical formulae. As an indication of our warm personal re- gard and appreciation for one who has taught us to recognize the existence of these qualities, and to realize their worth above the bare pur- suit of academic learning; one in whom these qualities represent an entire life devoted to the pursuit of these ideals; for his truly Christian attributes and scholarly leadership; for one whom we respect and revere as a constant friend who has bestowed unselfish devotion both upon us and Lenoir Rhyne College, we dedicate this 1929 HACAWA. icmui UMOmJ mWC E OBWA KloO- UAKL . , .-...„ LENOiR RHYNE COLLEGE Foreword JN EXTRICATING this paper-plumed fledgling from the course of events and of action at an institution, where there is more than learning to give and to take, a reason for wonder appears in the minds of the pro ducers. Their curiosity culminates in the question mark: What is the effect of our aims in this production and publication? It is only true that this question mark has confronted previous staffs: the desire to know the peruser ' s appreciation of the final effort. And unless there is a queer future to man. each staff to come will experience the identical term of wonderment. The ' Man from the Mountains has a character that we are pleased to touch upon and investigate with sin- cerity. A school in such proximity to the beauty of the Blue Ridges should prove equally attractive and interest- ing. Even the cherished mascot puts significance in his willful assent. Another year ' s length of the thread of life at Lenoir Rhyne is unravelled with triumphs and trials, work and play, all emanating, as far as the ability of the staff has permitted, in these and following pages. =EBGB Contents Book I The College BOOK II The Classes Book III Athletics Book IV Activities Book V Features I M M M M — - II .MM U Mi r il TtjpWe -1 ., .11 ■— — ■ £=3 0£8 Wo i- -i 3 by n C. beegc Con Sp.rlto tJ-[7b) UMA MATEF SONG ......

President FLORENCE MESIMER Secretary DR. E. J. SOX Faculty Representative Arbie Propst Sallie Arndt E. C. Aderholdt Turner Phillips Vivian Moose Conrad Crouch Louis Deaton The first governing body of the students of Lenoir Rhync College is that of the Student Cabinet. This, viewed in its true aspect, represents a court of twelve members chosen by vote of the student body, and representing classes according to rank. It functions as the chief legis- lating body and as a democratic court of justice for the students. Functioning thus, their aim is: A Greater Lenoir Rhyne through the promotion of higher standards of conduct; the insurance of justice, and the protection of the personal liberties of all. Governments build the nations of the world. They make their heritage their glory, their triumph and their power. So does this phase of college government lend its part to the advance- ment of its beloved Alma Mater in the establishment of her good name and fame among the colleges and schools of the Southland. Out of the bonds of prejudice and bias we live and strive for her that has lived for us. A Student.

Hankey Dean MEMBERS Henry Etta Setzer Ena Kate Lutz Vivian Moose Sara Aull Sallie Arndt Helen Boggs Helen Miller The Mauney Hall Commission functions as a part of the student government system, hav- ing jurisdiction over the girls residing in Mauney Hall. Its duty is to try all cases reported to it concerning the girls in the dormitory and to enforce the hall regulations. Each class is entitled to a certain number of representatives. The Seniors have three, one of whom is elected as House President; the Juniors, two: the Sophomores, one. and the Freshmen, one after the first semester. This is only a subordinate branch of the government and appeals may be made by any dis- satisfied to the cabinet or faculty. The commission seeks not to be tyrannical but to perform the duties entrusted to them by their fellow students. It is a hall government, of the students, by the students, and for the students.

It doles out justice when such is necessary and enforces the regulations set for the hall. It is democratic, each class being sufficiently repre- sented, and its duties are performed accordingly.

Setzler Henry Etta Setzer Prof. S. J. Marion The College Government at Lenoir Rhyne College has been established after years of experi- ence and much study and consideration of faculty members and students. It is the product of the best thought of our leaders and comparison with the efforts of the other institutions helps to assure us of the acceptability of our own standards and brings us satisfaction in the principles and methods which we have set up. In our government there is participation by both faculty and students and since the estab- lishment of the present system there has been almost unanimous agreement by all participants in ludgments and conclusions. Mutual respect, a closer fellowship, and a greater college loyalty has resulted in the deliberations and activities incident to the carrying out of the provisions of our college government. ■ — H. B.

President CLIFFORD Rhyne Vice-President Vivian Moose Secretary -Treasurer HAZEL BARGET. . . Historian To these go the honors of guiding a graduating class through a year marked with indiffer ence, weighty decisions, and. above all, successful progress along the lines which the new Lenoir Rhyne is advancing. A class — jovial in play, serious in action, and original in creation, has had in its leaders these marked distinctions. Turn to the athletic conflicts, both intramural and intercollegiate, to that celebration of I.. R. C. ' s entrance into the Southern Association of Colleges, to the Arbor Day features, and to those last class day exercises; whatever the incentive, whenever results were wanted, and whatever was wanted, the TWENTY-N1NERS were termed READY. May that word pass on distinguishing each member of the class. [Editor ' s Note: The graphological studies of the signatures of the seniors were secured through the kind attention and enlightening culture of our beloved Professor Eugene De Forest Heald. He has as one of his hobbies (another being his expression of things by his ever-present Kodak) the study of graphology which has resulted in a comprehensive and piercing knowledge of the traits of persons as shown by their hand-writing. For this we can thank him heartily, and pass a most reasonable commendation.] Page Thirty-Hue A.B. I X 2 Kings Mountain. N. C. Biology With almost a woman ' s delicacy of sensibilities. Orderly mind.

Pane Sixty-three Senior Class History I T WAS a very rainy day. and for lack of anything to do, I was plundering in an old attic. While doing so I noticed an old book, yellowed by age. It had some strange appeal for me, so I opened it and read : CHRONICLE OF THE CLASS OF 79 High on a mountain dwells the Goddess of Wisdom, and all who worship at her shrine secure Wisdom. The way is very rough and on all sides are beasts, waiting to devour the traveler. Many perish by the way. but for the few who reach the heights the reward is great. This is a legend that has been handed down fiom one generation to another. On September 8, 1925, Lenoir Rhyne witnessed the gathering of a large number of pil- grims to set out upon the pilgrimage to seek the great reward — Wisdom. Thus the group, Freshman Class. embarked on the perilous journey ol four years in college. Knowing the journey was to be rough and hard, the band went to work to seek a leader. Carl Morgan was chosen, who seemed equipped in all ways, to be their guide. At first all went well and a pleasant journey was contemplated. Soon the forest of foreign language was reached. Here roamed fearful monsters: Latin. Spanish, German, French and Greek, waiting to be conquered. Most of these monsters were slain by the united strength of the whole band. They pushed bravely on until a great pest, mid-term exams, was visited upon them, and as a result many fell by the way. All this was a new life and few outstanding things were done. The band was simply get- ting its stride and preparing to tackle the problem ahead. Wandering through the maze of math, science, history and English, the pilgrims came at last, after nine months of toiling, to a plateau. After three short months the search began again. The travelers now were no longer known as Freshmen but as Sophomores. A worthy guide. Wayne Patterson, was selected to lead them. But there was great sorrow in the group due to the absence of some who had helped make the journey merry the year before. During this period they learned there was some excitement to life, for several successful parties were given. Development was also made along the following lines: athletic, musical, literary, and social. Each day brought forth new problems but the pilgrims survived all these difficulties and stumbling blocks. At this time they realized half the race had been run. After a three months ' halt, the climb was begun again: this time as Juniors. The ranks were much thinner but all entered into the work with a hearty zeal. For the coming year Glenn Barger was chosen as the leader. He served faithfully and continued to be loyal to the band for the rest of the journey. During this climb, a messenger passed among the band, bearing tidings of a great feast and all cares and worries were forgotten. As a result a joyous company dined with much pomp and made merry. After the banquet each man again took up his load and pushed onward, hoping to continue the splendid work of the previous years. The third quarter of the journey was found easier, the road broader, and the climb not so steep because they were becoming accustomed to the rough way. They still walked cautiously, striving earnestly to reach the goal which was another year before them. With many little adventures, another year had passed quic kly. Then a stop for three months was called, before starting the last climb. But a few of the more ambitious climbed on during the summer and did not stop to rest. After a lapse of 90 days, the Band of Seekers of Knowledge started upward again. They knew that in order to make their journey successful there was much to be mastered and many difficulties to be overcome. With this idea a certain Glenn Boliek was given the leadership, one Page Sixty-four of the strongest and most capable among them. All were looking forward with pleasure now to graduation. Many of the travelers won honored names for themselves because of their courage. They furnished plenty of athletic material; did their bit in literary lines, and spent a reasonable amount of time in joyous song and music. Leading off from the main way were pleasant pathways where dwelt sirens — movies, read- ing, and other pleasures. These lured some away from duty. As a result many of the travelers lingered too long and were soon unable to catch up with the more ambitious that had moved upward. In the distance now gleamed the Temple of Wisdom and the travelers realized they were nearing the height of their ambition. They realized there had been many stumbling blocks and that they had become tired, but still they had pushed onward. They knew they had worked, often been disappointed, and in some instances failed, but in the end they had won. During the journey new and lasting friendships had been formed: friendships that would never be broken. The pilgrims could look back and see the hardships they had endured together, and the pleasures they had shared along the way. These memories were ever dear to them. The Great Temple at last had been reached and the band now stood on the Rock of Gradu- ation. On the hand of each a ring was placed and to each a scroll or diploma was gladly given. These were tokens by which the whole world would know they had overcome all difficulties and had reached and worshipped at the shrine of the Goddess of Wisdom. Now was the band no longer ignorant but exceedingly wise. Thus the story ended. After I had finished I sat for a few moments lost in thought. This was the history of the struggles of a class who had selected as their motto: We can because we think we can. and the history of the final triumph of a class who succeeded Because they thought they could. Class Song of 1928- ' 29 We ' re the class of TWENTY-NINE, the best we think of all Who ever dared to penetrate the depths of college walls. The motto we have lived up to has proved the very best. Though to gain the knowledge here has doubtless been a test. II The ideals of our class have been to reach the highest goal, Upward, onward, ever go. as each enlight the soul: May our service be unselfish as we our duty do. Though we may become discouraged, we ' ll stick ' till the fub is through. Ill As we say, farewell, dear college. we will give a cheer: May you always prove to grow greater year by year, Alma Mater!

' - a wise man said: a thought on the road to success and the way to make a really worth while history. With this motto the class of 1930 has struggled three years at L. R. C. Now. as jolly Juniors ' ' we near our goal and pause a moment to think of our outstanding achievements. As Freshmen, a large class entered in the fall of 1926. In a short time we learned to love Lenoir Rhyne. Realizing that in order to do great things, there must be cooperation, the class banded together as one. It entered into all college activities but the outstanding achievement was soon recognized to be athletics. Many of our ranks made the varsity as both Freshmen and Sophomores. Both boys and girls in these years won the championship in the class tourna- ments. The boys were also victors in the 1928 baseball classic. The Hallowe ' en festival was one of the outstanding events of the year. A still more bril- liant affair was the banquet staged in honor of the Seniors. With hearty zeal the class has entered into its work, both in the classroom and on the campus. All too soon time is passing. In order to attain the highest professions and callings, deeds and actions are necessary. With our eyes turned toward the veiled future we re-dedicate our lives, another year to the best interest of our Alma Mater. Page Seventy Junior Class SALLIE ARNDT CONOVER, N. C.

As a Freshman class, they presented a curious and motley array which was brightened slightly by several dozen caps (colored the greater part with green), which were brought forth by the hands of husky Sophomores. At the organization of the class Coy I rick was elected the leader. In this year the work of the class of ' 3 1 extended into athletics, oratory. Christian organizations, and social life. After returning this fall the work as Sophomores started with the eventful doling out of the little green Freshmen caps. The second year ' s work was started by a second organization, this time lead by Lester Spig Jones. Activities soon began: socials, athletic events, the epoch- marking celebration of L. R. ' s entrance to the Southern Association. Arbor Day festivities, and even those early spring picnics and parties were not to be missed on the part of this class ' program. Another milestone passed with more in view, and another year will find wise Sopho- mores in the role of jolly Juniors. Page Seventy-six Soph omore Class RUTH BARRIER MT. PLEASANT. N. C.

The hearty welcome extended 10 us by the faculty, and the many kindnesses shown by upperclassmen soon made us feel a part of Lenoir Rhync. Already many new and lasting friendships had been formed which gave us greater courage to begin our collegiate life. After registering, we were duly initiated by the wise and daring Sophomores, who soon taught us to realize how little we really knew and could feel. The Christmas holidays were looked forward to with happiness when we would be able to forget our studies for a while. The two short weeks too quickly passed and we returned facing a great terror, those mid-term exams! Over these we have triumphed with but few failures and we arc proud of our success. Our class is well represented in all phases of college life. In our midst are worthy athletes as well as promising leaders in other forms of activities. During our next three years at Lenoir Rhyne may we all labor together toward a fuller understanding of our fellowmen, remembering that to get anywhere in life we must choose the right path and stick to it.

Soon after classes began in earnest we organized our class. Social occasions and what not: we had them, weinie roasts, parties and picnics thai arc to ever live in our memories. On Arbor Day we had the pleasure of bringing up the rear of the L. R. C. side of the pageant. Our purple and gold flag put loyalty and love into every heart following it.

Steelmarv ' ' Max % 29 Football, 1928 With comparatively few lettermen to return to school around which to build his team, Coach Dick Gurley placed by far the lightest but one of the scrappiest teams to ever wear the Red and Black on the gridiron. The team only averaging about 160 pounds, and if one thing could be mentioned for the poor showing in the won and lost column, that one thing could be summed up in the lack of reserve strength. The first game was with Newberry, in which the Bears were seriously handicapped on the account of Freshmen not being eligible for this game; how- ever, Newberry was only able to overcome in the last minute of play the pace set by the Bears when WinecofF scored in the third period. The score was 1 2-6 in favor of Newberry. Next the Bears journeyed to Tennessee, where they met Carson -Newman at Jefferson City. Here they suffered a second defeat of the season. The Bear line, although outweighed a dozen pounds to the man. was far superior and clearly outplayed the opposition, but the backfield could not work in accord, which proved fatal to the Bears. But when King College ' s Crimson Tornado lined up against the Bears at the Memorial Stadium at Asheville. for their annual clash, the memories of the eventful game six years ago, which startled the football world, when the Lenoir Rhyne boys came out of the dust, after sunset, with the nothing end of an improbable score of 206-0. This no doubt caused the Bears to put forth extra effort to continue the assault and revenge which they started last year when the Lutherans vanquished the Tornado by giving them the small end of a 20-2 score.

The game ended with the Bears victorious by a 14-6 score. The Bears now came home for two games. The first was with the strong High Point College team, in which High Point was only able to nose out the Bears by two extra points. High Point was the first to draw blood, but in the second quarter Kiser scored when Captain Steelman blocked High Point ' s attempt to punt. The half ended 7-6 in favor of the Panthers. In the third bl quarter Lenoir Rhyne scored six more points when Jones intercepted a forward pass. High Point ' jCindif DeHihns HALF- Coulter HA.LT? McAllister GUARD then braced up and came from behind to nose out the Bears by a 14-12 score. Next the Bears took on the flashy Maryville crew, which gave the Bears such a bad licking last year. The game was hotly-contested, with the Bear line holding the flashy Maryville backs to a standstill, and they were only able to nose out the Bears in the last minutes of the game when they took advantage of a break of the game when . ,: ,,- Lenoir Rhyne fumbled under the shadow of her own goal, the score being 7-0 in favor of Maryville. In the Catawba game neither club developed enough offense to push across a score. Both teams resorted to passes in an attempt to score, but few gains were made by that route. The teams battled doggedly, and punting was the order of the game. The Bear line held like a stone wall at all times. The game ended in a scoreless tie. In the final game on the local field the Bears met A. C. C. for the first time in history. In this game the Gurleymen took to the air. Opening with a flash, the Lutherans drove over two touchdowns in the first quarter, and closed the game with as many more, completed by the for- ward pass, thus handing the Little Christians a 2S-0 defeat. Outstanding stars for the Lutherans were Hagar with his pass- ing and punting, Ritchie and Captain Steelman for making nice tackles, and Jones for backing up the line. In the last two games the Bears were handed their worst defeats of the season at the hands of Guilford and Elon. The Bears were seriously handicapped on the account of Coley and Rumple being ruled out and Riser out with a bad shoulder. This proved fatal to Lenoir Rhyne ' s hitherto impregnable line, which was the backbone of the team. The prospects loom bright for next year as the only varsity man that will be lost by graduation this year is .J Captain Steelman. Capt.Kjser Jack ' 29 Copt.

The Bears got off to a bad start at the beginning of the season by dropping the first four games on the eastern Carolina trip. A. C. C. was the first to down the Bears, coming from behind, after the Bears had led them throughout the game, nosed the Red and Black out by a single point margin. The second game was dropped to N. C. State, the Southern Champions, by a 35-22 count, but only alter Winecoff and Ritchie had given them plenty of trouble for the first three quarters. The Demon Deacons of Wake Forest were the next to trounce the Bears, with a 32-27 count. Flon also took the Bears ' scalp by a 21-16 score. At this juncture the Bears braced up and with a rejuvenated spirit crushed the Wofford Terriers by a 37-26 score. In this game Razz Miller leaped into the limelight, scoring 18 points and was easily seen to be the outstanding man on the floor. The Bears chalked up a second consecutive victory by scalping the Indians from Catawba by a score of 27-18. The Indians wer e a constant threat to the Bears until late in the game when Captain Riser found himself and began sinking baskets from all angles of the court. The Bears now journeyed eastward again for a four-game trip, dropping the first game to the strong Wildcat quintet of Davidson by a score 39-26. Catawba again felt the claws of the Bruins, this time in the Indians ' own camp, when they were forced to bow, 28-20. The Lutherans now showing great form completely smothered the Guilford Quakers by an over whelming score of 41-23. But the Gurleymcn dropped the last game of the trip to the fast- stepping Panther quintet of High Point College. Returning home the Bears swept Mars Hill and Appalachian quintets off their feet, with Riser, Ritchie and Pasour leading in scoring and Lemon shining on the defense. Following this the Mountain Bears got revenge for their defeat at the hands of A. C. C. in the earlier part of the season, by defeating them by a 27-20 score. Page Ninety-seven Ritchie CENTER Mark5 Pasour guard The Lulher, now journeyed Tennessee and took a severe trouncing — ., at the hands of Milligan. hut the Bears split the record for the trip by defeating Appalachian 35-33. This game was the hotest con- tested game of the year. The Bears getting off to a bad start were five points behind at the half, but Red Winecoff leaped into the limelight and came through with several field goals to narrow the margin, the lead changing hands nine times during the last half. The Bears returned home for a four-straight, winding up the season. The climax of the season came when the Lenoir Rhyne Mountain Bears broke into fury and clearly outplayed the Purple Panthers of High Point in a 30-25 victory, getting revenge for the defeat in the earlier part of the season.

Th e Mountain Bears threatened to j cany their winning streak through the fourth straight game in as many nights, but the Demon Deacon crew took on a winning spurt in the last few minutes of the game that gave them the victory. The Mountain Bears, getting off to a bad start at the first of the season, were fighting with their backs to the wall almost all the season, their strength soaring and wanning on different nights. The striking thing about this team is that not a single man will be lost by graduation and only a very successful season for the next year can be the forecast.

But this year ' s diamond athletes gave the school spirit a thrill never felt before. A thrill, indeed, it is to see a flashing infield in action, or to watch consistent hitters drive them out yonder. But an eulogy can be prepared for next year ' s line-up al- ready. Captain Chuffs Coulter is the only Senior member of Coach Gurley ' s picked varsity, and al- though it will be a hard proposition to fill the Captain ' s place with another his caliber, L.

In this game Captain Coulter led the outfield in a brilliant showing and the same flashing infield finished out the line-up that caused defeat for the Oak Ridge Cadets with the mild but telling score, 5-2. A streaming shower greeted the fans and returning students, along with many alumni who ventured forth to greet old-timers on the alumni day of 1929, Easter Mon- day, but old Sol brightened spirits as well as the day. A record crowd was present and little was present to prevent the Easter Mon- day Quaker-Bear clash from being everything ideal in a base- ball classic. Formally opening the season, the Gurleymen retained honors 5-4. Mauney, taking the box after Fisher retired, really came from behind and sealed the hitting and walking fray that the Quakers had started.

A word or two about the 1928 team, its efforts and its results is totally encouraging. This team, captained by Gibbes DeHihns. met with remarkable success even though the season was partly passed up before the team got under way. Perry Crouch, the only veteran man on the team, chalked up a neat record in this his fourth and Senior year. The little short driver. Bromo Nease. seldom failed in the contest with his stinging style of play, always with a cool comeback. Jonnie Clemmer, ever-reliable, is back on the court of the Bears with a steady determined fire. His keen headwork coordinating with Captain Who-it- ' tis DeHihns will likciy result in a trip- ping of the fates of L. R. ' s tennis team. Fat Rhyne, a consistent player with determination, can mark up victories with energy to spare, while E. C. Ader- holdt. persistently spirited, never daunted, by keeping continually at the game has placed himself as a clean determined player although his attempts in the ' 28 season did not prove altogether successful. The ' 29 squad, again captained by Captain DeHihns, includes those mem- bers mentioned in the ' 28 squad with the exception of two. Crouch graduating and Nease not returning this year. Each man and his qualities is back training rigidly, as this goes to press, under the careful guidance of Coach Edwin L. Setz- ler. Several new men are added to the above list in Lansing Hatfield, Dan Mosteller and C. N. Alexander, all men who have a thriving interest in the sport for a team as well as a team for the sport. With this new and valuable material, and the addition of such a good and reliable coach as Edwin L. Setzler plus the new courts and equipment, the Lenoir Rhyne colors should wave over numerous conflicts scheduled below. Page One Hundred Seven 1 Hdlfiel f E.C.

Lenoir Rhyne ' s three leaders of collegiate cheering may be favorably com- mented upon and congratulated. Early in the season Bob Defenderfer, formerly elected to scourge or to effectively lead the pep element of the student body, resigned his position in the presence of the returning Runt Barger, leader in 1928. With Glenn Cloninger and Willie Plonk as assistants, the foot- ball season marked a new era in Lenoir Rhyne spirit and pep. Upon the event of Mr. Barger ' s accepting the election to the capacity of basketball manager, Mary Jane Cloninger assumed rightful leadership and. with our spirited and popular co-ed. Bill Plonk, the gym walls resounded with the old bear howl and gripping locomotives. When college pep is wanted, they are there. Often have Lenoir Rhyne vocabularies commented upon the spirit of the school and ready is the word that describes these instigators of L. R. C. PEP!

The ten charter members above were called into a session and there was found to be two who were eligible for ruby degrees and two for the pearl degrees, editors and business managers, respectively. Il is the present aim of this organization to kindle journalistic fire among the literary of Lenoir Rhyne and to better the school organs which have as their motto a better and greater Lenoir Rhyne. Page One Hundred Thirteen Louis E. Deaton Business Manager C. Robert Defenderfer Editor-in-Chief Editorially Speaking To complain is folly; excuses are mere matters to be taken in the course of action. That is one reason why this should not be written. But we can- not look at the original dummy — that which has resulted ultimately in this final printed edition; no. we could not gaze at its fluttering pages of content or discontent without perceiving that it has caused many persons to sacrifice a great deal and others — so little. That we would not agree on. Neither then will we give room for any surmises by us or them. There has never been a staff that has not been comparable to the bees: workers and drones. Of course, we would praise the workers. To mention these would be to enumerate one or the other so we stamp out another folly. This publication has had plenty of trials, troubles more than many, and. the financial side, especially, is to be praised when it crosses its bar. The present system of securing subscriptions for this book is one of the most un- founded things that an up-to-date institution like Lenoir Rhyne could have. The subscription question is one of the biggest that a staff has to handle. But someday — possibly not during the regime of the staff of I 9 0 — a kindly Board of Trustees will arrange for a publication fee, and then (not until then) will Page One Hundred Fourteen Left to Right: GEORGE GROVE.

From the side of the editor, there is a much better system yet to be worked out, but perhaps even then the ed will get the knocks as well as the experience doing the work. This year ' s work has proven very interesting, enlightening, and above all, an agreeable task not to be taken too lightly. There has been no picnicking but just the same it is a pleasure to offer to the reader a piece of work that has taken hours in the making, tubs of midnight oil, several pounds of printers ' ink, rolls of various kinds of paper, dollars as well as sense, and personal interests in it other than our own. With these and other fancies in mind we refer you: Experience is the greatest teacher. Thank you. gentle reader. -The Builders of the 1929 Halls-Campus-Walls. Page One Hundred Fifteen E. C. ADERHOLDT Editor-in-Chief Lamar Rhyne Business Manager Editorial Seemingly dreaming as it were. I grasp loose threads of thought of ' 28 and memory slowly weaves them into a fabric of collegiate journalism. Then swiftly, yard on yard, this paper fabric smirched with printers ' ink unrolls before my eyes. Issue after issue passes on review, bringing thoughts of what they were and what it required for them to be as they carved their mark on the door of our Alma Mater. What they were I would not decide: some wrought the mark of the achieved, others were not what they might have been as they grace the history of our now greater Lenoir Rhyne. And now this fleeting fabric draws close to form its hills of triumph and its valleys of failure, while there rises from it, as a Phoenix from its ashes, the forms and faces of those who labored that such might be and to improve the improved. They were not the brightest, nor yet the best, but with an honest zest they pushed ever forward and onward. And scattered amongst these journalists were those who shirked. For that reason we did not have the power that is attained by those working all in all, but they who made the initial effort and persevered with unrelenting labors find comfort in what they could not fulfill. The aim that now forms a scroll above those of the staff, reads thus: The best Lenoir Rhynean possible. and reading thus keeps pace with the progress Page One Hundred Sixteen LENOIR RHYNEAN STAFF Front Row.

Ever conscious of this aim members of the staff have striven, at times, beneath the shadows of midnight oil in order to attempt to give the readers the college news while it was new, and to portray the campus events as they actually happened. And through the concerted efforts of the staff members the college news has been placed before its readers on scheduled time. We have not warded off the critical darts that were often thrust at us almost on every hand, and at the time often seemed radical and rash, but rather we have with deep and serious consideration tried to remedy, to justify and to please. These criticisms have in many ways enabled us to see our faults more clearly and we have used them to build a Greater Lenoir Rhynean in the field of broadening college journalism. Although our aims were never reached, nor dreams actually materalized, we feel we have accomplished and lended something to the field of newspaper work on the campus of Lenoir Rhyne. In our aim. unsuccessful we find our success in the aspired and nobly failed. — The Editor. Page Two Hundred Seventeen LeeSa iix Oscar Carpenter Glenn S.

While of the regular five decision debates two were lost, in the three more important contests the Lenoir Rhyne College debaters triumphed. Upholding the affirmative of the question, Resolved, that the United States should cease to pro- tect, by armed force, capital invested in foreign lands, except after formal declaration of war, Oscar Car- penter and Glenn Ekard lost on March 2 to Catawba College and on March 16 to Guilford College. However, i negative team composed of Henry Owl, Mary Monroe and Perry Crouch defeated the strong University of Florida team on March 7, and two days later also the team from Gettysburg College, Pa., by a unanimous vote of the judges. For the first time in the history of the college a co-ed appeared on the forensic platform. On March 16, Henry Owl and Perry Crouch won a unanimous decision over High Point College at High Point. In Oratory, the speakers were equally successful. On March 30, Henry Owl placed second among seven orators at the State Oratorical Contest, held at Davidson College, while on April 27, Lee Sain, a freshman, won the second prize of $40 in the State Peace Contest at Elou College, in which eight speakers took part. This gives Lenoir Rhyne during her participation of three years the best record in the contest. The year 1928- ' 29 opened with the college participating in the American Legion Contest on November 5 at Raleigh, when Lee Sain again represented the school. J, C. Kieffer has been selected as Lenoir Rhyne ' s representative in the State Oratorical Contest to be held at Elon College April 5, and Russell Huffman the college speaker for the State Peace Contest at Guilford College, April 19. Lenoir Rhyne will also be repre- sented in the first Girls ' Oratorical Contest in the state, to take place April 26 at High Point. Dr. Albert Reiser, the reelected secretary-treasurer of the North Carolina Intercollegiate Forensic Association, was instru- mental in establishing this contest for the college women of the state. In Debating, the present year has opened auspiciously. With the single exception of one who had taken part in a losing high school contest, the debaters were inexperienced. But by dint of hard work and capable guidance, the teams have excelled both in constructive speeches and rebuttal work. Upholding the negative of the debate question for the year, Resolved, that a substitute for trial by jury should he adopted, Fitzhugh Riser and Russell Huffman defeated on February 26 by a unanimous decision the strong team from Carson and Newman College, Jefferson City, Tenn. For the Carson and Newman debaters it was the seventh contest on their tour, and the first ever participated in by the home team. The opponents readily admitted that the local team was the best prepared one they had met. On March S-the affirmative team, composed of Lee Sain and Conrad Crouch, lost a hotly-contested debate at Milligan College, Tenn., by a two to one decision, but on the same night the negative team triumphed over the Tennessee affirmative three to nothing. On March 15 both teams were successful. The affirmative won at home over High Point College two to one, while the negative defeated Guilford College by a unanimous vote. Of the fifteen votes cast by the judges in the debates, Lenoir Rhyne received twelve to the opponents ' three. The outstanding work in Forensics during the last years under the direction of Dr. Albert Reiser, head of the English department, received national recognition when last fall Lenoir Rhyne College debaters and orators became eligible to membership in the General Chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, the largest forensic honor society in America. Henry Owl was the first of the Lenoir Rhyne men admitted. As in the past, the forensic coach firmly holds that all activities should be built upon a broad foundation and lead to the genuine develop- ment of those who take part. No shams are tolerated. Hard work and thorough preparation are considered the cornerstones of success; a spirit of absolute fairness and honorable conduct is of incomparably greater importance than the mere winning of decisions. Page One Hundred Nineteen FOUR WINNING ONE-ACT PLAYS OF THE LENOIR RHYNE PLAYMAKERS. 1929 Olin Sink Aijrine Davis.. .. Carryin ( )n . Blue Blood Barbar Setzer. Pauline Karri kkr .. ... Red Hills or Cotton Mills Joe Rodgers Orders a Wife The Lenoir Rhyne Playmakers The Lenoir Rhyne Playmakers have been growing in strength as well as in years, yet the organization is still very young. It was three years ago that playmaking was placed in the curriculum of the college here. Four credit hours are given to those completing the course. Under the efficient leadership of Miss Pearl Setzer, this dramatic organization has grown by leaps and hounds. Miss Setzer is of Carolina PI ay maker experience, having been a member of the Carolina Playmakers for two years, and assistant state representative of community drama, U. N. C, for one year. Represen tative plays of all types are produced, but the Playmakers devote the major part of their time in the study, writing and production of folk plays of their native state. Only recently has it been that the impulse to create folk plays and produce them in their own birthplace has been started. The Lenoir Rhyne Playmakers are a part of this Little Theatre movement, which is successfully attempting to represent Caro- lina to the native people and to the people of other states. It is a movement to create a drama of our own, portraying the traditions, folk-lore, fears, and fleeting joys of this our native state. Since the Inst Hacawa went to press, the Playmakers boast of several commendable productions. One of the most striking achievements was the collaboration of the department in writing an Easter pageant, The Resurrection Light, which they produced at the College Church on April 29, 1928, at St, Stephen ' s Lutheran Church on May 6, at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church on May 13, and at the First Baptist Church on May 27. Sun Up, by Lula Vollmer, winner of the $1,000 Pulitzer prize for the best American play in 1924, was given at the commencement. This is a western North Carolina play, and the rendition of it is counted as one of the major performances of the local dramatists. During the Summer School session, Pomander Walk, a comedy of happiness by L. N. Parker, was given. Beginning this school year, perhaps the paramount work of Miss Setzer in the capacity as a director here was on November 8, when Macbeth, the powerful Shakesperian tragedy, was presented before a large audience. At the same time the Playmakers were writing a religious pageant Know Christ, which they produced at the fall confe en.ee of the Western District of the Luther League on November 11, at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church, and again on November 18 at Good Mope Chapel. The next number was on January 30, when four one-act plays : Trista, The Florist Shop, The Exchange and Wurzel Flummery were given. Wurzel Flummery was selected to compete in the state contest.

As a basis for their plays, the young dramatists use their rich experiences as gathered in a section of the country that possesses drama in its truest sense. Early in February an authors ' reading was held and the four winning plays selected to be produced were: Red Hill or Cotton Mills, a farm tragedy of the North Carolina mills, by Barbara Setzer, awarded first place and submitted to the State Dramatic Association Contest; Joe Rodgers Orders a Wife, a village comedy, by Pauline Karriker; Carryin ' On, a tragedy of prohibition, by Olin Sink; Blue Blood, a tragedy of youth in an old town, by Aurine Davis. Other plays considered in the authors ' reading were: Burnt Toast, by Ethelyn Plummer; The King ' s Dream, by Macie Logan; Esther, by Russell Huffman; Kat ' s Stockin ' and Larnin ' , by Ruth Abee; Too Late, by Lois Boliek; The Clear Call, by Nell Wilson, and Good Night, by Edward E. Kipka. After a year of enthusiastic work on the part of Miss Setzer and her Playmakers, success seems to crown their efforts to such an extent that a wonderful development is predicted for the future.

The personnel of the committee is composed of the officers of the different religious organiz ations. Regular meetings are held twice a month. The paramount purpose of this body on the campus is to plan work for the various religious groups in such a way that it will stimulate the students toward greater work along the path of Christian service. A definite program is planned to benefit the student body to the highest degree in the development of the Christian attitude. It also gives those contemplating full life-time service an opportunity to do some actual work along the line of their chosen profession. The body is recognized to be a factor of tremendous importance by both faculty and students, for around it the religious life of the college centers. They per- ceive that it is an earnest effort to make an increase in the spiritual insight among the students as well as widening the mental horizon. Through the persistent efforts pf its members, a pure Christian atmosphere prevails in the school. A Christian principle and doctrine predominates. By the work and advice of Professor Hackemann of the college faculty, this committee has met with great success in its work. It has really stimulated the interest of the students along the lines of Christian work. As an observation from the student body at large, this is recognized to be an established fact. Special work is also done by this executive group. Through its efforts efficient teachers are provided for the teaching of various Sunday school classes. It also assists in public programs, such as pageants, etc. Mission work in the surrounding community is supervised by them. The great innermission work is being done at Morganton. N. C. A Sunday school has been organized and special work done among the mill folks. In addition to this, teachers are sent out from the college to many other churches in and around Hickory.

Sometimes programs are planned and given before the group. The club has done a great deal of active service. One of their largest projects has been the organization and conduction of a Sunday school at Morganton. N. C twenty-three miles from the college. The school was organized in February, 1928, an enrollment of almost one hun- dred has been secured entirely through the work of the Diakonians. The club does not altogether neglect the social side of their life, and many delightful social functions occur during the year as the result of their efforts.

It embraces almost all of the Lutheran student body and many students of other denominations. Meetings are held every Sunday even- ing and the percentage of attendance this year has been very high. The local league is recognized to be one of the largest in the state. Very interesting and instructive programs of a varied nature are given at the meetings. The excellent manner in which the league has been conducted provides a good workshop for the young men and women to prepare themselves for work in the church. The visit of Uncle Amos Traver of the National Luther League was of momentous importance because of his inspirational influence. One of the outstanding events of the year was the meeting of the Lutheran Student Association of the southeastern region, as guest, of the local league. This was in the latter part of November, 1928. The league takes the bad in the welcome of students to ihe college and helps them to get started in their college work.

About all the students residing in Highland Hall are members of the class, and attend meetings regularly. It has been a tremendous influence in the molding of Christian character among the men students attending the college. The class meets every Sunday morning at ten o ' clock in the assembly hall of the administration building, with Professor Hackemann as teacher. Many vital problems that concern the youth of the day are discussed. Professor Hackemann is recognized by the students as a man who is really interested in their welfare and they look forward with interest to his instructive lectures. A genuine Christian fellowship prevails at all times among the group. On many occasions the class takes part in social activities. In this mannei an outlet is provided for the development of the social side of activities in the school. Page One Hundred Twenty-nine Glee Clubs The College Glee Clubs underwent a complete reorganization the fall of 192S. In the past it had been the custom to hold joint rehearsals, but with the formation of separate clubs in 192S, this custom was abolished. Now each club has its own staff of officers. The Women ' s Club meets every Monday evening at 7 o ' clock for rehearsal and the Men ' s Club meets every Thursday evening at the same hour. From the Women ' s Club of fifty voices, Professor Smith selected sixteen of the best voices for special work. This number was later augmented to eighteen voices. This group together with the full membership of the Men ' s Club made a con- cert tour of several cities and towns during the week of April 22. From the Men ' s Club of fifteen voices a quartet was selected to render special numbers. The program of the concerts this year was confined entirely to miscellaneous numbers. The plan of giving an operetta as in former years was deemed impractical for the establishing and building up of a proper musical standard. Two public concerts were given in Hickory, the first on Thursday evening, December 1. ' , 1928, in the High School Auditorium, and the second in the City Auditorium on Wednesday evening, April 17, 1929. At these concerts the club wag ably assisted by Miss Alherdena Wall as pianiste and accompanist, and by Miss Mildred E. Eargle, reader. At the second concert four of the girls of the Music Department appeared in a piano quartet arrangement of Moszkow ski ' s Bolero. In addition to 1hese two concerts the combined clubs appeared before the local Rotary and Kiwanis clubs and in some of the local churches, the quality of their renditions eliciting much favorable comment.

Olin Si nk Cletus Speagle Clarence Steppe Prema Sublett Olin Swtcegood Nell Wilkinson Up to the fall of 1929, Lenoir Rhyne ' s literary societies came tinder the once worth while and flourishing names of Chrestonian, Eumencan, Euronian and I ' hilalethian. But with the opening of the 1 92S and 1929 sessions it was decided to combine these once fearful rivals into one society which finally was named the Demosthenian Literary Society. Those rules which needed modification in order to meet the needs of a new and modern society were so arranged and the aim was in the direction of both pleasure and aesthetic natures. So far the benefits have been in the order of extemporaneous speaking, debate, oratory, declamation and many programs have often bad special renditions of vocal and instrumental music.

Wilson Aileen Wagoner Ralph Yoder Barbara Setzer Lenoir Rhyne ' s first German Chili was brought into existence early in the fall of the school year 192S- ' 29 with a purpose parallel to that of the French Club. Its program was outlined with the attempt at giving German students a better understanding cf the language, customs and people of Germany. The lives and works of important authors are taken up in an effort to realize the purpose of the programs. The purpose has been partially realized in the monthly meetings which have taken up the University Life as Seen by a Student and centered about the works of the great poet Goethe. Nor is the social side left out of the sessions. Professor H. O. Anderson, head of the Modern Language Department, figured highly in the organization and now serves the members of the club in the capacity of faculty advisor.

Following the efforts of several energetic leaders such an organization became a reality and an impressive one, too. Pro- fessor H. O. Anderson, head of the department of Modern Languages, was chosen faculty advisor and under his guidance the club was increased to one of the stmngest functions on the campus. The purpose of the club is lo create and focus a greater interest in French language, literature and cus- toms. In the monthly meetings such tactful programs are ananged that variety is attained— that spice in the life of all organizations. The requisite for entrance is either one year of college French or two of high school French. The attainments of this club are a proof of the loyal cooperation of its members, officers, and the encouraging faculty representative and sponsor.

ADS AND JOKES THE PLAN AND PURPOSE OF LENOIR RHYNE COLLEGE -i- + To seek always the best interests of its students. To attain in every way higher educational standards. To foster ideals of unselfish service. To establish loyalty to truth and regard for honor. The members of the class of 1929 have spent four years on the campus and in the halls of Alma Mater. The fruitage of their future years will reveal the effectiveness of the influence of Lenoir Rhyne. May Alumni and students and College and Church all combine efforts each year for the more effective accom- plishment of our plan and purpose.
