S ' Q ' Lohr C TOU, who to us are an example of 1 Christian womanhood, it is to you — we dedicate this book — our Epic of Youth. We who are Modern Youth see in your heart a youthfulness that cries out to the youth in ours. It is that spirit which makes us — earnest, idealistic, magnificently alive — challenge you to hold fast to those virtues for which you stand that you may never fail when our need is greatest. We are youth growing stronger — growing older. You are wisdom reaching out a hand to lead us on. May Modern Youth ever follow the guidance of modern lightened souls like yours I ATION „.;.r HIS is an epic of modern youth. It is neither the beginning nor the end but only a chapter snatched from the ceaseless roll of the ages. It tells of a glorious youth — scaling the heights — explor- ing the glooms — daring where men have only dreamed before. It tells of youth venturing courageously — striving higher and higher and higher and higher until its deeds are limitless and its thoughts divine. This Hacawa more particularly portrays the stu- dent youth with all the stir of the past within him, all the challenge of the future — thrilling to the present. College has changed him even as life shall change him, but whatever be- falls, he shall remain essentially the same — a product of his age — Modern Youth.

And many were the textbooks whose covers it saw and whose content it learned, yea, and many the woes it suffered in its mind upon the college heath — striving to win that elusive thing, the A.B. degree. Of these things, O goddess, whatsoever thou hast heard thereof, declare thou even unto me. Now it was in 1927 that this Class of ' 3 1 came to Lenoir Rhyne and was received with the open arms of the faculty and sophomores. As all green things do. we, that class, did — we grew — in wisdom and knowledge. As wise fools we returned the next year and lorded it over the motley array of freshmen. Step by step we were climbing Mount Parnassus and with each ascending step we were progressing in wisdom. As juniors truly noted for their jollity we left Lenoir Rhyne in the spring of 1930 to return in the fall of the same year as majestic seniors clothed in a cloak of dignity and know-it-allness. Our knowledge and wisdom was indeed immeasurable although occasion- ally we were unable to remember the answers to the questions of the professors. We have reached the top of Mount Parnassus and we are view- ing from that height the prospects of glory that lie before us. What shall it be? Page Twenty-four ti iii] Senior Class OFFICERS Carl Bowman President Nancy Martin Vice-President Harriet Teufel Secretary -Treasurer Nell Hagaman Historian As old ' 31 lowers its flag, Lenoir Rhyne will bid god-speed to one of the most unusual and praiseworthy classes in its history. Its members became stu- dents the year after the fire and have clung tenaciously to their Alma Mater — backing it, raising its standards, and loving it with an untiring love. Good old ' 31 is the spirit of modern youth itself directed by faithful and capable leaders. Each member may consistently carry on with this as his life cry; I would not have my life be one of bliss, untouched by heart-ache, agony, despair — a pale, anemic thing: that nightly prayer is that with each new day I shall not miss high venturings, nor undeserve the hiss of envious human moles who never dare to touch off rockets in their souls and flare above their deepening grooves. O grant me this: that I shall scale Life ' s peaks, explore its glooms, know mountamed ecstacics, deep-valleyed pains — that when my last red sands by Time are sieved and Fate has struck my sinews from her looms, I shall have earned three words o ' er my remains besides was born and died — ' Between, he lived ' .

Page Forty seven Commercial Class OFFICERS Ruth SettlemyrE President Ned Story Vice-President Ruth Lentz Secretary-Treasurer Velma Wingate Historian History To be born, to live zealously, to die young — that is the fate of the Com- mercial Class. Only one year of college life, yet in that year this class has all the throes of organization, all the pleasures of a class spirit and society, all the griefs of farewell. The struggle of this class is somewhat gigantic, yet its success can be measured only by the might of its labors. When, however, the burdens of these pall too greatly upon its shoulders, someone plans a delightful picnic or social and the burden vanishes. Only one year: yet in that year each student becomes one in the college melting pot and goes out with pleasant memories of its instructor and of Lenoir Rhyne. Old Commercial ' 31 leaves with this message. May Lenoir Rhyne for- ever grow and its spirit march eternally on! Page Forty-eight HACAWA Commercial Class Ellen Abernathy Hickory. N. C.

R. C. in September. 1928. to train for the one great battle — Life. After the first lap of time. Captain Lee Shipton took in hand the leadership of that company. Many small scrimmages were held, some of which were lost, some won. Toward the end of the first year of training the red and white banner waved victoriously over the Freshmen champions in baseball and in gi rls ' basketball. Other activi- ties were entered into by members of this first-year group at Lenoir Rhyne. Rufus Rhyne became the new captain of Company ' 32 in 1929. New students were welcomed to camp by the formalities and initiations conferred by the former tenderfeet. who finally ended all hostilities by a reception in their honor. Again that year, the red and white banner had a prominent place in current events, the girls again carrying off the class championship in basketball. The leadership of the company was given to Haskell Troutman in the third year of training. A successful Hallowe ' en Carnival has been held this year under the direction of the Junior class. Just what the remaining part of the year holds for us is to be seen. There is much yet to be learned, but as a soldier bravely faces the battle of fire and arms, so we, members of the class of ' 32, bravely face what this battle of Life must give.

Every phase of hfe has a background and development which may be liistorically considered. The class of ' 33 has a history which, although it is short, is not insignificant, particularly its members who entered Lenoir Rhyne College as Freshmen in September, 1929. As Freshmen we strove earnestly and faithfully to live in accordance with the principles exemplified in the teachings of our college. In scholastic standing, our class led the honor roll. It furnished good material for the football, basket- ball, baseball, and tennis teams: and it also played an important part in the campus activities in order to uphold and to better the existing conditions of college life. Although our college days are not yet half spent, we feel that we have accomplished much during the last year and a half, and that we have grown in wisdom and knowledge. As Sophomores, we have continued our fine scholastic standing and have taken a greater part in athletics and in campus activities. These things we have done, not for selfish reasons; but we feel proud to do those things that will make us worthy of and loyal to Lenoir Rhyne College.

Page Sixty-four NANCY HANKS 1 :, i 77 ' i 1 1 y FUE HMAN Freshman Class OFFICERS Ray Oyercash President Hugh MorETZ Vice-President Catherine Perry Secretary-Treasurer George English Historian History One Monday, late in 1930, there came the annual procession of green Freshmen to Lenoir Rhyne. From far and near they came — those young men and women who had impatiently awaited the beginning of their college days and who had now realized their ambition. The long pleasant journey which they were to take together began with the Freshman Banquet on September 8. The red and black rat caps became quite a familiar sight on the campus and will be remembered long by the boys of the class. Perhaps the girls will also recall how appropriately dressed they were on that particular day when they were wearing towels for scarfs by order of the Sophomores. These humili- ations we will soon forget in the glory of being upperclassmen. Our class made many contributions to Lenoir Rhyne in the field of ath- letics. Our football and basketball players — many of whom received letters — have done their share in upholding the standards of the college. Although now at the end of our first year at Lenoir Rhyne we look back and regret that we shall never be Freshmen again, we also look forward with great joy to the three years we shall enjoy together in the future. To the Fresh- men of 1932, we most solemnly dedicate our rat caps along with the many pleasures which have been ours during the past year. Page Sixty-six (First fii:i ' .

Hanki-y Prof. L. F. Hackfmann The purpose of this organization is to stimulate interest in and uphold the ethical standards of college journalism by promoting closer fellowship be- tween students operating publications in American colleges and by conferring honors upon candidates who have served with distinction in such capacity. This fraternity fosters good journalism on the campus and strives in every way to help improve both the Hacawa and the Lenoir Rhynean. to make them truly reflections of campus spirit and activity. Page Sevenly-three j [ Leonard Huggins Editor-m-Chief Jacob Rhodes Business Manager 1931 Hacawa It is the spirit of Modern Youth — its constant struggle to surpass itsell — that has fired us with the desire to make this volume of the HACAWA truly an outstanding one. If we have failed, we do it in good grace, acknowledging that no book can be greater than its authors and regretting only that our best has not done justice to the Alma Mater we love. If we have succeeded we are humbly glad. The work of this volume was begun and continued under many handicaps. Many students could not and would not respond to the call for picture making while others did not even answer the appeal for subscriptions. These, along with the inability to secure necessary advertising, presented the main obstacles in our road to success. Since through experience we learned that the HACAWA suffers because it is exclusively a Senior publication, we have instigated and helped formulate the plans for a more stable HACAWA. Before we leave we shall see it a book of the entire student body. We shall see it supported by the student body and produced by an organized staff representative of all classes. To produce a college annual is a stupendous task. None of us are immune to error or criticism — even that faithful few who through their indefatigable efforts and self-sacrifice, earn the praise so generously bestowed upon the whole stafl. With this in view we ask that you who examine these pages allow for the weaknesses human flesh is heir to. Now we offer this epic to you — hoping that you can sense in it our hopes and ambitions for something beyond the range of our achievements. Page Seventy-four FINGER HERMAM B 4 fl pp «.

No longer does the picture of Old Main enliven the front page of the Lenoir Rhynean but rather a picture of the beautiful new administration building. An- other of a library brightens the editorial page but it is a cut of a dream only — a dream whose fulfillment means a greater Lenoir Rhyne. Since the Lenoir Rhynean has accepted the standards and hopes of the institution as its own, it constantly strives to build up its publication that it may justly express the growth of its Alma Mater. What to publish and what not to publish, whether to turn out a paper late or to issue a mediocre one and issue it on time — these are some of the per- plexing problems that have faced the staff every week. Without any hope of reward and knowing they were criticized unjustly, the members of the staff have willingly sacrificed their time to build up a better Lenoir Rhynean. They tried to profit by the criticisms, even though some of the critics seemed to forget that the Lenoir Rhynean is a student publication for which they, as well as the staff, are responsible. The things which this paper has accomplished this year is due in a large measure to the faithful members who were loyal to their editor and to their work. Whatever may be said, we have strived to portray Lenoir Rhyne as a Christian institution and to picture truthfully the life and activities of the large family that lives so happily on our campus. — The Editor.

In or atory as well as in de- bating the college continued to win honors, and for the f.ve-year period under the present forensic direction, she l.olds one of the outstanding records in the South. Altogether, eleven debates were held, the most extensive program in the history of the college, and partly due to the fact that women ' s debating materialized. As only one veteran debater, Russell Huffman, returned, new material had to be developed. Lee Shipton and W. F. Preslar up- held the affirmative, and Olin Sink and Russell Huffman the negative of the question. Resolved. That the nations should adopt a plan of complete disarmament, excepting such forces as are needed for police purposes. On March 7. the affirmative won two to one over Guilford, while the negative lost to High Point by the same score. In a dual debate with Elon. March 14, the negative gained a unanimous decision, but the affirmative lost by a split decisi on. However, the same affirma- tive defeated Milligan College by unanimous vote March 20; the negative, at Milligan, did only partially win the approval of the single critic judge, but on April 1, they won unanimously over Furman University. Equally successful were the girls ' debates, the first to be held in the history of the school. While both the affirmative composed of Helen Norman and Harriet Teufel and the negative, Aurine Davis and Caroline Hentz, on April 8 bowed to Appalachian State Teachers ' College, the affirmative team during a South Carolina trip, April 22 and 23, won unanimously over Furman University and Winthrop College, Altogether, Lenoir Rhyne received the votes of twenty judges to the opponents ' eleven. For the current year the work will be continued by the men and women whose names and photographs appear on another page. In oratory, the year was an outstanding one. On April 4, Frederick Moretz placed third in the State Oratorical Contest; Evelyn Ballentine. on April 1 I, won first place in the Women ' s Oratorical, and finally on April 25, Harriet Teufel won at Duke University first place in the State Peace Contest with a prize of $60. The victories gave Lenoir Rhyne first place in two con- tests and second place in another during the whole period of her participation, and at the same time the best record in the state. For the coming year the representative in the State Oratorical will be Royd Preslar, in the Peace Ora- torical, Frederick Moretz. and in the Women ' s Oratorical, Harriet Teufel. The last named contest will take place April 14 at Lenoir Rhyne College. Both the State Oratorical and the Women ' s Oratorical are directed by Dr. Albert Keiser, head of the English Department, as executive secretary and treasurer of the North Carolina Intercollegiate Forensic Association, who in addition is the secretary-treasurer of the State Peace Association. All coaching and directing of forensic activities at Lenoir Rhyne is also done by him, with the partial exception of the Women ' s Oratorical Contest, in which Miss Setzer coaches the representative. Work in oratory and debate at Lenoir Rhyne is receiving national recogni- tion, for her orators and debaters are admitted to membership in Pi Kappa Delta, the largest forensic honor society in America. As in the past, selection Page Seventy-eight HACAWA SMITH AFF. HUDDLE AFF. PRESSLAR APF SHAVER KJEG. BARKLEY SHIPTON NEO. ' EERY M. TEUFEL H, TEUFEL MILLER BALLENTINE- FRITZ AFF. AFF. AFF. NEG. NEG.

The forensic coach firmly holds that all forensic activities should be built upon a broad foundation and lead to genuine development of those who take part. No shams are tolerated.

In the past the Lenoir Rh ' ne Plavmakers have held a distinct and tinqiue place in college activities. Eacli year they have become more individualistic and more versatile. Only the future can define the bounds to which they will go. Miss Pearl Setzer. the very capable director ot the Playmakers, places chief emphasis upon playmaking. Although in the classroom she discusses the modern plays, playwrights and theatres along with acting, lighting, make-up and stage management, she also requires each member to write two original plays. These are read to the class, criticized, and the best ones produced. In this, composition and prc )duction ccimes the real playmaking project. In reviewing the work of the past year, one recognizes a great variety in the productions. Since a fantasy had never been given before. Prunella, by Housman, was featured as the 1930 commencement play. Previous to this both a May Day pageant and a Mother ' s Day play were sponsored by the Playmakers. During the North Carolina Summer School for Church Workers, the Playmakers presented The Test. an original dramatization of Christian education. Also during the summer, at the Lutheran Brotherhood picnic, they gave Politics Pays. by Theodosia Watson. The fifth year of the Lenoir Rhync Playmakers began with the presentation again of Politics Pays. this time at the Freshmen bancjuct. An original radio skit, written by Joe Moretz. followed on F-reshman Night. The Glee Club also used the skit on its I 9 30- ' 3 I tours. During September and October The Appeal. a short play written by Miss Setzer for the college campaign, was given by three different casts at fifteen places. The Playmakers staged for the Literary Society three one-act plays: Crother ' s The Rector. Tarkington ' s The Trysting Place. and Morley ' s Thursday Evening : and for chapel during Book Week, an original library skit. The Books of L. R. C. Hold Court, by Max Boatwright, and as part of the Hallowe ' en Carnival, Sparkin, by Couble. Students, under the supervision of Miss Setzer. directed and produced these plays. Page Eighty HACAWA The high spot of the Playmakcrs ' year came with the production of Channing Pollock ' s The Fool, a striking drama in four acts- Although this is considered one of the most difficult American dramas, it was acted in an unusually creditahle manner and was the best dramatic effort of the year. The Playmakers gave their own original pageant of the precedmg year, Whither O Wise Man, at the city auditorium, December 14. for the benefit of the Hickory Board of Associated Charities. A demonstration play rehearsal at the annual directors ' meeting at Chapel Hill for the Carolina Dramatic Association followed with the cast of The Rector. performing under Miss Setzer ' s direction. In February, the three original one-act plays which won production honors, became part of the yearly performance along with Paul Green ' s The Last of the l_owries. These three were: Mountain Shadows. a serious realistic play, by Erskine Dysart of Hickory: The Beast on the Hill, a tragedy, by Robert Shelby of Gastonia: and a comedy, The Parsonage Devil, by Harriet Teufel of Staunton. ' Va. The Last of the Lowrics will enter the pro- duction contest at Chapel Hill in March. All Playmakers who have done sufficient creditable work are eligible for the Alpha Psi Omega Dramatic Fraternity. No wonder Playmakers are stronger than they have ever been. ■What will the next year bring forth.

The society is giving interesting and educational programs consisting of ex- temporaneous speeches, debates, orations, declamations, and one-act plays. Often special vocal and instrumental music adds variety to the programs. It is hoped that, on account of growing interest and increasing member- ship, one large society may be divided in order that more students may get an opportunity to appear on the programs and that friendly rivalry may stimulate the several societies to even better work.

W. C. A. We unite in the desire to realize rich and creative hfc through a growing understanding of God. Lenoir Rhyne College is a world artifically created for our development and enjoyment. Its social, intellectual, physical, and spiritual life is rich and varied. Its opportunities arc un- limited. The Young Women ' s Christian Association was organized for the primary purpose of enabling the young women on our campus to use these opportunities in such a way as to develop harmonious, well-rounded Christian characters. It seeks to make a lasting contribution to every need of the student, basing its contributions on the theory; that deep under all social forms inspiring the acts of every true gentlewoman, must be the heart that is well-intentioned and kind: that behind every search for knowledge must be the wholesome desire for depth of conviction and of purpose: that a love for the great out-of-doors, and a healthful pleasure in sports adds untold wealth to character: and that a staunch, well-grounded faith in things eternal and a hope that reaches out among the stars is the strongest bulwark a student may have against worldly and unworthy impulses. Christmas carolling in deep snow at midnight, a little sister-big sister breakfast in the woods at sunrise, a special two-day long mothers ' celebration visits into factories, the gift of an American flag, a rock garden, pajama parties, receptions, teas, banquets, social hours, a Page Eighty-six HACAWA Japanese bazaar, along with a girls football game between the Sock- em Hards and the Hefty Hitters, basketball games between the Fast Steppers and High Reachers. and a hiking club are all parts of the Y, W, C. A. of IQil. The weekly programs have been varied and stimulating. They have dealt with the ideal girl, etiquette, vacations, art, music, sex, marriage, relations with men, interior decorating hints, food values, baby care, health laws and first aid, beauty, clothing, friendship, the Honor System, religious creeds, life in other countries, books, parliamentary law. patriotism, and such. Some have taken the form of plays, pantomimes, or discussion groups written by the faculty, by out- siders, or by the girl members themselves. Besides these activities, the girls have held chapel programs, have welcomed all the new girls and visitors, have accepted definite Sunday School classes, and have done everything in their power to forward the interests of the college. Through its programs, which are both inspiring and practical, through social functions, through encouraging clean sports, and through Bible study and prayer, the Y. W. C. A. has been invaluable in developing a symmetrical Christian young womanhood on our campus. Its unspoken motto is For a greater Lenoir Rhyne. This organization is undoubtedly alive, awake and responsive to the needs of the girls and eager to make possible to every student a full and creative life. That our daughters may be as cornerstones, polished after the similitude of a palace.

The league, therefore, a potent organization which carries out its aim through weekly programs which are varied and interesting. This organization, controlled and directed by the students, has an exceptionally high percentage of attendance and is recognized as the largest league in the state. Page Eighty-nine Girls ' ' Siinda ' School Class The girls of the College hnve three Sunday School classes: one for the Juniors and Seniors, one for the Sophomores and one for the Freshmen. These are taught by Mrs. S. J. Marion. Miss Helen Stahler and Miss Margaret Alleman respectively. Tliese classes, besides providing for needy families during the Christmas holidays, take turns helping with the music at St. Andrew ' s Church for three evening services a month by supplying soloists and the choir. The Handicraft Club, which was organized last year by the Freshman class with Miss Alleman as instructor, has continued to meet this year. Its art work has earned a great deal of well-deserved praise.

This class, which meets every Sunday morning for discussion and lectures, in- cludes in its membership all the boys of Highland Hall and any others who may like to join.

But whether they are blond or brunette, short, fat, foolish, wild, hopeless, or pathetically dumb, they have behind them the thrill of parsonage life, an intuitive and understanding sympathy with human nature and the prestige won by the long line of godly parents. They both need our tolerant judgments and deserve our congratulations. There is nothing like them under the sun. God bless them!

Since the entire management is democratic, perfect harmony exists between the students and the administration of the college. This fellowship which in itself makes Lenoir Rhyne distinct and unique, is the result of contact and associations between the students and faculty. Along with the Cabinet and the Hall Commissions, the Faculty-Student Commission arranges the non-academic calendar and analyzes the social situation of the college. It thus makes itself an integral part of the college life. Page Ninety-three i ? PROFHAfttEMAW BHYNt HAGAMAN LErMOM kISER. JONES F.

The Student Cabinet of Lenoir Rhyne College is a democratic governing body chosen by the students, from the students, for maintaining the rights of the students. It is a court of justice composed of twelve members, and functions as a judicial and legislative body. Supported by the students it promotes higher standards of conduct, insures justice to all. and protects the personal liberties of all. By breaking the bonds of prejudice and bias, the Student Cabinet strives to do its part in advancing the good name and fame of its Alma Mater through- out the South.

A constant study of the German language would indeed be void of romance without a knowledge of the entrancing and alluring history of the land and its inhabitants. In studying the nature, peculiarities and customs of Germany, people learn to love and appreciate its history and achievements, and thus to become interested in its language. It was the realization of these facts that led to the organization of the German Club at Lenoir Rhyne. As a project outside of the classroom, it has succeeded in stimulating interest in the regular lesson periods and in making them more inspiring and worthwhile.

Since its beginning, this club has held monthly meetings which have been of great interest to its members. It has also held numerous social affairs. Professor H. O. Anderson, of the Modern Language Department, figures highly in the organization and serves the members in the capacity of faculty adviser. He himself is vitally interested in France since he has both studied and lived there. This enthusiasm for French things makes him an inspiring leader and a man capable of directing the organization.

That is college spirit and such a spirit that exists at Lenoir Rhyne College. The gloom and dis- appointment of losing quiet a number of games did not quelch our spirit, but rather acted as an incentive for stronger cooperation of the students in winning games which followed. Much of our spirit we owe to the efficient leaders. Helen D ' Ana and Emma Fritz, under whose leadership the students were always ready to do their part to win the game.

Dr. R. a, Yoder HISTORY OF LENOIR RHYNE COLLEGE The idea of establishing a college on this splendid site originated in the mind of Captain Walter Lenoir many years ago. As a young lawyer, educated at the State University, he entered the War Between the States and soon rose to the rank of captain. A severe wound in battle resulted in the loss of a leg. This blow, destroying his hopes and aspirations as a soldier, was soon followed by the death of his exceptionally bright and beautiful young daughter; and hard upon this grief came the crushing loss of his young wife — one of the most beautiful and cultured young women of the state. These intimate tragedies so shattered his ambitions and overwhelmed ' his noble spirit with wreckage of ideals and life-plans that he never entirely recovered. He spent his later life quietly — looking after his business interests — especially his large boundaries of land in and around the towns of Lenoir and Hickory, As he rode his faithful horse through the fine forests of yellow pine, oak, and hickory that then covered these grounds, the idea of serving others through a college occurred to him and was worked out. Being skilful in civil engineering, he surveyed out and marked with granite stones the 20-acre campus and 6 one- acre lots around it. and selected sites for a church and other main buildings. Later he turned over the college grounds and his plans to his life-long bosom friend. Colonel J, G, Hall, one of the founders of Hickory, stipulating in his will that the site should be conveyed to such church organization as would guarantee to spend in establishing the college an initial sum of at least $10,000. This trust was faithfully executed by Colonel Hall. For some time he could find none to accept this offer. Then he erected a substantial building in which under his direction was operated for some years an excellent secondary school. Highland Academy, in which a number of present-day leading business men of Hickory and this section received most of their edu- cation — Shufords. Menzies, Halls, Abernethys, Clines, Lyerlys. Clarks, Peelers, The idea that the Lutherans of this section should secure this site for the development of their Church College originated in the mind of the Rev. Andrew L. Crouse, who in 1890 was living at the west corner of the campus and was engaged as Professor of Theology in Con- Page One Hundred Forty-five 11 Dr. R. L. Fri 1901—1919 cordia College, Conover. N. C for about ten years. This institution, under the presidency of Dr. R. A. Yoder. had been the college of the Lutherans. The Rev. W. P. Cline. as field- secretary, was at work raising funds to improve and endow Concordia College. The Rev. Crouse and Dr. J. C. Moser, pastor of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. Hickory, proposed to the synod that the Lenoir site be accepted and the college move to and develop upon it. In called session, the synod failed to accept Colonel Hall ' s offer. During the ten years of Dr. Yoder ' s presidency, the institution was thoroughly established and a period of prosperity and great usefulness was enjoyed. The chief teachers, founders, and co-workers along with Dr. Yoder were Drs, W, P, Cline, J. C. Moser. the Rev. Prof. A. L. Crouse and Prof. R. L. Fritz. As a result of its deliberations in 1895 and 1899, the Lutheran Tennessee Synod took over Lenoir College as its own institution. Dr. Yoder resigned the presidency of the college in 1901. and Prof. R. L. Fritz, an alumnus who had labored with the founders and from the beginning, was called to succeed him. Professor Fritz served as president and teacher for 19 years. During his administration, the main college building was finished: Oakview Hall, Highland Hall, and the Yoder Science Build- ing were erected: the faculty was strengthened and enlarged: the curriculum was raised and broadened: departments of education, business, music, expression, art, and domestic science were established: the college was given an A-grade rating by the State Board of Education: the enrollment was trebled: and in 1915-1917, assisted by Mrs. R. A. Yoder, he canvassed the entire synod, brought home to the hearts and minds of the people the cause of the college, raised an initial endowment of $50,000, and laid the foundation for the campaigns that have followed. After the close of the World War, the necessity for additional funds became im- perative, and in a two months ' campaign in the autumn of 1919, funds to the amount of $310,000 were raised. Chief among the college workers along with President Fritz during this strenuous period were: Prof. W. H. Little, who gave sixteen years of most efficient service as Professor of Modern Languages and Field Representative: Prof. E. J. Sox. Professor of Mathematics (1897- 1904) ; Prof. W. J. Stirewalt, Professor of Ancient Languages and some time Treasurer: Prof, J. L. Kiser, Business Manager and Treasurer: Mrs. J. L. Kiser, Matron of Highland Hall: Mr. S. G, Lohr, Business Manager and Treasurer: and Mrs. S. G. Lohr. Dietitian. President Fritz resigned in March, 1919, but continued as acting president until January, 1920, when he was succeeded by Dr. J, C. Peery, Professor of Bible in the college. In 1921, the two Lutheran Synods of North Carolina merged and Lenoir College became the institution of the new synod with almost doubled constituency and the dawn of a new day. Growth in the enrollment together with advanced standards in the field of education made necessary another appeal for funds in 1923. which resulted in increasing the assets of the college for buildings, and endowment ne,irly $400,000. The success of this last appeal, as well as of previous ones, was made possible by the generous gifts of Mr, D, E. Rhyne. In 1923 he contributed $200,000 for the advancement Page One Hundred F orty six ACAWA Old Main of the work of the college. Of the $300,000 raised in 191 . he contributed $100,000, At other times this generous friend of Christian education came to the rescue of the college with his money. In recognition of Mr. Rhyne ' s interest in and devotion to Christian education, as well as of his munificent gifts to this institution, the hoard of trustees in 1 52 changed the name of the college to Lenoir Rhyne College. During the administration of President Peery. the work of the college was carried for- ward, the new athletic field was purchased and developed and the Cline Gymnasium was erected. A distinct advance was the organization and operation of State Summer Schools and Saturday Schools chiefly for teacher-training in which about 700 students are served annually. Dr. Peery resigned in 1925. Dr. P. E. Monroe served as acting president until May. 1925, when the Rev. Dr. H. Brent Schaeffer of Charleston, S. C became president. At the beginning of President SchaefTer ' s administration, the first and most far-reaching task that confronted him was that of standard recognition by and membership in the Associ- ation of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States. In this matter his leadership and efforts have been entirely successful, and today Lenoir Rhyne College, having met the standards set by this official Southern accrediting agency in the matters of faculty, courses, equipment, endowment, etc., is a member of the Southern Association and fully accredited: and her graduates are received for advanced work by all universities and professional schools with- out conditions, Lenoir Rhyne is also a member of the Association of American Colleges and is registered as a standard college by the Departments of Public Instruction of the states of North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania and other states, and by the United States for the reception of foreign students. The one tragedy in the history of the College occurred January 6, 1927, when the stately main building — Old Main, in and around which had ebbed and flowed the entire life of the institution and to which clustered and clung the cherished memories and sanguine hopes and aspirations of so many — went up in flames I Depression! All was darkness! It seemed that the very college personated by Old Main had been cremated! But out of the ashes arose Page One Hundred Forty- I I KM M LDENT Body of Lenoir Colim.i hopes and renewed determinjtion. The new president stood firm and undaunted in the vanguard of the new movement for a greater Lenoir Rhyne College buttressed by the enthusiastic support of faculty, students, and friends of the institution. What seemed an insuperable calamity yielded him the opportunity to put on at once the building program that had been long — but almost hopelessly — planned. Again Mr. D. E. Rhyne came to the rescue and saved the college by contributing the funds to erect the beautiful and splendid new administration building, which has been most fittingly named in his honor. Lenoir Rhyne stock. Lenoir Rhyne hopes. Lenoir Rhyne every- thing, went up. up. up — but not in flames this time! The Mauney families of Kings Mountain came forward with the funds for the beautiful and splendid new girls ' dormitory, which bears their honored name. Other resources were found for the erection of the excellent new college refectory. All these buildings are modern, up-to-date, fireproof. The Hickory Daily Record launched a cam- paign that resulted in 9,000 books and $800 for the new library Also the U. L. C. A. Brotherhood and many friends gave books and money. The library is now larger and finer than ever. The Greater Lenoir Rhyne movement goes on. and soon a new library building and fine arts building are to grace the campus, and equipment and additional endowment are to be provided. A recent development of college activity is the organization and operation of an Extension Department, which serves about 100 students annually. The various units and branches of the inner work of the college have been reorganized, developed, and perfected in conformity with present-day standards and efficiency. New courses have been added and all courses have been coordinated and modernized to meet the various needs of the more and more cosmopolitan student body. It is a matter of greatest gratification to the friends and supporters of Lenoir Rhyne Col- lege — and most especially to those who have given their lives to her service — that starting under adverse circumstances with about 100 students, she has in a little more than a generation developed into a standard A-grade college, nationally recognized and accredited and serving annually around 1.500 students. The future growth and development of Lenoir Rhyne College are well assured by her splendid record of achie ' ement and service of community, state, and church during her past history. The chief elements and assets in the reassuring situation at Lenoir Rhyne as this brief story closes is her most fortunate location, splendid buildings and equipment, substantial consti- tuency and goodly group of loyal devoted friends and supporters, safe endowment, energetic, alert and resourceful president, adequate faculty of highly trained men and women, distinctive, wholesome campus spirit and life, and exceptionally fine student personnel. — Alumnus.
