— I— JWRPifli rni I fifiiTiQii I n ' DATE DUE L [ 1 [ IBPECJAL COLLECTION. Zr n !„. sponsored by the SENIOR CLASS hickory; N.C. CARL A. RUDIS.ILL LIBRARY LENOIR RHYNE COLLEGE The publishing of this volume of Thf Hacawa is an effort on the part of the staff and the senior class to picture the actual campus life of the past year, to recorci the numerous activities of the student body, and to preserve the pleasant memories of the associations which hold a large place in the life of each individual student. The theme of this book is centered around the life of Martin Luther, as an expression of deep admiration for the great reformer, in rec- ognition of the significance which his life and work had in the establishment of Protestantism, and in realization of the part his ideals have played in the founding of such institutions as L.cnoir Rhyne College. iJS ' .) ■ jflfl ajl i Dedication The ages have produced men who have wrought mightily in changing the course ot the world ' s history — men who during their lives have unceasingly tried to correct the existing evils. Yet such men would have labored in vain had there not been other men in later years willing to carry on the work so nobly begun. In recognition of just such a man who is numbered among those upholding the Christian ideals which men like Martin Luther strove to attain, we dedicate this issue of THE HACAWA To PROFESSOR S. J.

Quiet and unassuming, yet cheerful, Louise always greets everyone with her pleasing smile. The strength of her per- sonality makes for her friends and when once a friendship is formed it is never to be destroyed. May she always win re- spect and admiration. James Allan Arndt A.B. Social Science CLAREMONT, NORTH CAROLINA Diakonian Club, 1. 2. 3: Luther League, 2, 3: German Club 1.2: Baseball, 3. Notwithstanding the fact that it is a rare occasion, indeed, when we find Allan in any other than a jovial and happy mood, he is a very sympathetic and sen- sible fellow. Allan is interested in re- ligious work and is planning to enter the ministry. His earnestness and will ingness to sacrifice himself for others convince us that he has chosen the right path.

He is a movie fan, likes loud ties, is quite a German shark, and doesn ' t look so bad in a derby. Emma Lucille Fritz A i V. A.B.

Page Thirty-eight ilr Robert Lee Gribble A.B. Mathematics DALLAS, NORTH CAROLINA McCallie Institute, 1: Carolina, 2; Football, 3. 4. If the word carefree may be applied to anyone, it certainly may be applied to Mutt. Nothing ever worries him or shakes his composure — what is the use to worry, we aren ' t going to live forever. His favorite pastimes are sleeping and eating toasted sandwiches. Heman Rudisill Hall B.S. Physics CHERRYVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA President Highland Hall Commission, 4, Heman seems to be a reserved sort of fellow upon casual acquaintance, but those who know him better have learned of his ready wit and enjoy his humorous stories. He has a scientific trend of mind, his chief interest being in physics. Page Thirty-nine Ruby Heavener ' A.B. English LINCOLNTON, NORTH CAROLINA Playmaking. 4; Y. W. C.

Always in happy spirits, always ready for fun, and ever trying to tease someone — that ' s the Mary Wallace whom we know and like. Underneath her jollity, tho ' , there runs a current of a more seri- ous nature that makes of her a conscien- tious student. Page Forty Ernest Otto Huffman B.S. Pre-Chemical HICKORY, NORTH CAROLINA German Club. 3, 4. When looking for Ernest, one can usu- ally find him in the Science Building fool- ing around with test tubes. Having found him, you will behold a quiet, modest and reserved individual who certainly docs not advertise his own wares. Margaret Marie Huss A.B.

Fred has been with us for only two years, but it did not take nearly all of that time for us to discover his amiable qualities and friendly nature.

An historical play is just nearing its close on this great stage of the uni- verse. It has been a long production: and now as it ends, we, the players, prepare to go out into other parts of this great stage and take parts in other plays just as important as this. Beginning in the fall of 1928. these players made their first entrance in this theatrical production. The cast consisted of about one hundred and twenty-one characters — orators, debaters, athletes, and musicians. Each knew his cue, and before long each knew the part he was to play. So when the time for action came everyone was ready to respond. The director for Act I was chosen by the cast — Mr. Lee Shipton. During this act. the athletes, repre- sented by boys and girls, became the star characters; and the act closed with a decided victory in their favor. The curtain fell for a period of three months, during which time the new director, Mr. Rufus Rhyne, began looking over his work for the next act, and the players studied their parts. Some of the old players had dropped out and new ones took their places. During this act time had to be given to those who were just starting their play of four years ' length. These play- makers were initiated into the art, and then some real helpful advice was given. Again the athletic characters stood in the foreground, with the spotlight focused on them. The third act, directed by Mr. Haskell Troutman, was evidently the act chosen by the characters in which they were to show their true ability in play- making. Leaders in social life were pictured when the Juniors successfully pulled off a Hallowe ' en Carnival. The athletes still held their ground on the front stage by holding championship in girls ' and boys ' basketball. The debaters became stars when the majority of Lenoir Rhyne ' s best speakers were found to be Juniors. And then came the big event of the Junior-Senior Ban- quet, when the cast of characters showed their ability more than ever to work together as one. Act IV is now being staged. It again features orators, debaters, and athletes. But in spite of the capable direction of Mr. Lloyd Little, a dim mist seems to be hanging over the play. The curtain is almost ready to fall. Per- haps the characters do not like to think of this as the end of a great historical event in their life. Perhaps they cannot tell just what will be the type of the next play in which they will take part. Will it be tragical, comical, or full of romantic love? Only time can tell — the time that will come probably after the last scene of the last act — yea. even after the curtain falls. Page Sixty Class Prophecy It was a beautiful night, full moon, stars, and everything, and I had to work. For months I had been putting it off, but tonight the editor told me that if the class prophecy was to go in THE HacAWA. I must have it written by morning. Well, that was that, and I didn ' t know any more about prophesying than the man up there in the moon. Well, I ain ' t so dumb. What in the world was that? Some one in that tree above me? No, the voice didn ' t come from there. What ' s troublin ' you. kid? Believe it or not. it was the man in the moon who was thus disturbing my deep think- ing. Maybe he could help me. The ancients used to tell of the future by studying the stars, and the moon looked a blame sight bigger to me, so 1 just says to him: Td sure appreciate it. Mister, if you could tell me what ' ll become of these classmates of mine in the next ten years or so. O. K., buddy, anything to help a fellow our. And with that he gave me the following story just as it is written, except that I had to change it in several places, for (now don ' t let this get out) the old chap doesn ' t use very good English.

She puts them through their paces daily, for she is determined that they shall be athletes like their parents. Ernest Huffman is superintendent of one of the largest furniture factories in North Carolina. Katherine Johnston. Anna K. Greever, Mary Ellen Speagle, Rebecca Winters, Rachel Cloninger, and Marie Huss attended a dinner the other day given by Rufus Rhyne and Grier Sherrill. high powered salesmen for the Aluminum Cooking Utensil Company of New Ken- sington.

The girls are all very fond of Mary Marshburn. who is dean of women at Lenoir Rhyne College. She never rings the bell when things are just beginning to get interesting. Frances McCardwell, with the aid of her victrola, is teaching music appreciation. Helen Miller has at last convinced the students that the beautiful new library at Lenoir Rhyne is not a place for visiting. This was made much easier for her by the students ' new and friendlier attitude toward authority brought about since the board saw fit to allow dancing and bridge playing. The students no longer have to use the library as a last resort for social gatherings. A new course in dancing has been added to the curriculum. Edythe Wagg. after several years in New York, has returned to take charge of the new department. Mary K. Miller is living in Lincoln County, where her husband is engaged in scientific farming. Mary Y. Miller is also happily married. She has a couple of little boys that are going to be all-state football players in the years to come.

We work toward that which is progressive. We strive toward higher things. We answer the call of ambition, for in power wc feel there is bliss.

Vice-President Katherine Perry Secretary and Treasurer Lois Peery Historian History We came together for the first time on the Lenoir Rhyne campus in September. 19 30. At that time we were 110 strong — and green, but growing. Included in our band were North Carolina Tar Heels. Virginia Sore Backs. South Carolina Sand Lappers. and Georgia Crackers. We spent freshman week getting acquainted, and the boys and girls found many new friends among their classmates. Although they brought forth many new and perplexing problems, we like now to stop and think of those first weeks in college. We were homesick. The upper classmen treated us as inferior beings of some sort. We approached the professors cautiously. In fact, everything seemed to call attention to our youth and ignorance. Later in the year the sophomores realized that they had laughed long enough at our expense, so they brought us out into society at their theatre party. After that everything went along nicely. Our class was organized with Ray Overcash as its president. Hugh Morctz became our vice-president, and Katherine Perry our secretary. Under their leadership we took our place as one of the strongest classes. We contributed some of the best players to the football team. We were well represented on the basketball team. We furnished Glee Club members, debaters and members of the Lenoir Rhynean staff. We were an active group and accomplished many things. We returned to Lenoir Rhyne in the fall of ' 31 with a much smaller number, but with all of our old spirit. Again under the leadership of Mr. Overcash we have upheld our repu- tation for doing things, and have entered more and more into the activities of the college. We have enjoyed our first two years as college students, and we are looking forward with interest to what the next two years may disclose.

September 7. 1931. we were welcomed to Lenoir Rhyne College. Whatever loneliness and homesickness we might have felt upon our arrival was soon forgotten around the banquet tables that night. Perhaps wc lirtle remember what was said, but no doubt we still recall the resulting sensation that was ours on entering upon our college career. At first we were the victims of many pranks, some of which seemed somewhat prepos- terous. Never shall we forget the pajama parade around Mauney Hall one night about mid- night — marching to the tune of, How Green I Am. nor the time when the girls came to lunch wearing boxes for shoes. On our part we look forward with no retaliatory spirit, for the vestiges of a past age are passing from the best schools. On January 7. 1932. we elected our class officers and thus assumed our place among the regularly organized groups of the campus. Seemingly more important, we were privileged to remove our rat caps after the Christmas holidays. While looking back over our common history, we find that our class has been well repre- sented in practically every organization and college activity. Although our Freshman year is almost over yet we see much accomplished. But we look forward with still greater zeal when time shall have built a bigger and better Lenoir Rhyne. one that not only we, but others shall be proud to call Alma Mater.

The policy has developed a spirit of democracy and created a feeling of harmony between the students and the administration of the college. The fine fellowship which has developed through this functioning of college government has been an outstanding characteristic of campus life. This commission arranges the non-academic calendar and approves all social events, striving to give students the maximum number, yet complying with college standards.

We have tried to take a fair and considerate stand on any questions of fact or policy concerning Lenoir Rhyne Col- lege or the various activities of the students, though appearing radical at times, realizing that if progress is to be made in the growth of our college, this progress may best be brought about through the efforts of the representatives of the students and of the administration working cooperatively. We have endeavored to make the columns of the Lenoir Rhynean the mirror of student opinion, to work for the things that the students want. During the past year the Lenoir Rhynean has been brought under the direct control of the student body, filling the positions of the staff by means of competitive elections, and giving the editor the power to remove any members of the staff who fails to perform the duties of his office. Through the constitution adopted by the student body, the publication of the weekly has been placed on a more firm basis, the staff being responsible to the student body. The staff has as in the past been handicapped by unjust criticisms by the fact that mem- bers of the staff have shifted their share of the work on the publication to the shoulders of others, and by the attitude of many of the students who seem to feel the Lenoir Rhynean is not truly representative of the student body. The cooperation of staff members, the student body and the administration of the college will make a Greater Lenoir Rhynean for a Greater Lenoir Rhyne.

All debates by both men and women were on the question. Re- solved, that the nations should adopt a policy of free trade. As only one former debater among the boys, namely Lee Shipton, was avail- able, new material had to be developed. K. Y. Huddle and Royd Preslar. with Leo Smith as alternate, upheld the afBrmative, while Lex . Barkley and Lee Shipton, with Cade Shaver as substitute, defended the negative. On February 2 8 the affirmative clashed with a team from Waynesburg College. Pa., and according to an unofficial audience de- cision, won about three to one. On March 6. the customary triangular debate was held, the affirmative team at home bowing to High Point College three to one. but the negative team winning at Guilford College by the same score. In a dual debate with Elon College on March 12. the affirmative traveling, both Lenoir Rhyne teams won. the affirmative by a split decision and the negative by a unanimous vote. The girl debaters likewise were successful in their efforts. Since only Harriet Teufel. as a former debater was available. Mae Teufel, Helen Miller, Pearl Ballentine, Lois Peery, and Emma Fritz joined the ranks. The Teufel sisters, with Lois Peery as alternate, upheld the affirmative, while Helen Miller and Emma Fritz formed the regular negative team. This team with Pearl Ballentine met Asheville Normal School in a non-decision debate at Hickory, March 24, and the affirmative team journeyed to Asheville for a similar debate April 7. Two days later this team defeated the Appalachian State Teachers College girls two to one at Hickory. while the negative team won over Appalachian at Boone on April 1 4 by a unanimous decision. Two days later they defeated Winthrop College at Rock Hill in South Carolina by a decisive score, and thus brought the season to a close without a defeat. Of the eight decision debates. Lenoir Rhyne won seven. In oratory new honors were added to former achievements. At the State Oratorical Con- test at High Point, April 10, Royd Preslar, and at the State Peace Contest at Asheville, April 2 7, Frederick Moretz made a splendid showing. At the Women ' s Oratorical Contest at Hickory on April 14, Harriet Teufel, winner of the State Peace Contest the year before, won first place. As executive secretary and treasurer of the North Carolina Intercollegiate Forensic Association, Dr. Albert Keiser, head of the English department, directed both the State Oratorical Contest and the Women ' s Oratorical: he also serves as secretary of the State Peace Association, This year the State Oratorical Contest will be held April 22 at Lenoir Rhyne College. Lex Barkley. a junior in the college, heads the association as president for the year. Work in oratory and debate at Lenoir Rhyne is receiving national recognition, for her orators and debaters are admitted to membership in Pi Kappa Delta, the largest and strictest forensic honor society in the United States. As in the past, selection is by merit through com- petitive try-outs and preliminary oratorical contests. 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. 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.

Heald The purpose of the Alpha Psi Omega is to stimulate interest in dramatic activities, to secure for the college the advantages and mutual helpfulness provided by a large national honorary fraternity and, by means of electing students to membership, serve as a reward for their worthy efforts in participating in the plays staged by the playmakcrs. The national organization issues yearly the Playbill, a magazine containing important news from the various casts. Quarterly it publishes The Call Board, a newspaper which gives detailed reports from all local groups. Through these publications, Lenoir Rhyne has been recognized in more than one hundred other colleges and universities in the L ' nitcd States. The individual benefits are those gained through the work accomplished before the student is admitted to the fraternity and the requirements demanded of him after he becomes a member. He is duty-bound to uphold the cardinal principles of the fraternity — virtue, temperance, patience, godliness, and obedience. The motto is: Seek a life useful.

It is difficult to review in this short space the many varied and successful performances of the past year. A. A. Milne ' s English comedy, Mr. Pim Passes By, was produced as the annual commencement play last year. Just prior to this presentation an elaborate May Day pageant and four one-act plays for Mothers ' Day were given at the combined celebration of the two events. The high light of last fall was the production of The Lilies of the It was given by a strong cast and was received with much favor.

Page One Hundred Two []jjr|acamag J[] Glee Club The Glee Club of Lenoir Rhync College has been in existence for seven years. During the first three years it united with the Playmaking Department in producing an operetta every year. In the fall of 1928 Frederick Stanley Smith, organist and composer of Philadelphia, Pa., was appointed Dean of the Music Department at Lenoir Rhyne. Realizing the value of the Glee Club as an advertising medium for the college, Professor Smith made it a separate and distinct organization. Try-outs were held and the names of the successful candidates were duly posted. Rehearsals then began in earnest. In December the club gave its first concert, the program consisting of vocal solos: male, female, and mixed quartets and choruses; and piano solos. The first season was a highly successful one, the club appearing in twelve nearby cities and towns and before the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs. The second and third seasons the club continued to improve, rendering more difficult music, and spreading the gospel of good music wherever they appeared. During the present season. Professor Smith inaugurated the Vested Choir. While the organization still retains the name of the Glee Club, it is in reality an a capella choir. The program consists entirely of mixed choruses. Works of the old masters are presented with a freshness and spontaniety seldom surpassed by more experienced singers. After a concert in the village chapel (Episcopal) at Pinehurst, N. C the club was immediately hooked for a return engagement. The Glee Club has won an enviable place in the affections of the faculty and student body of Lenoir Rhyne as well as in the hearts of all Lutherans in this vicinity. Page One Hundred Three 1032  -Ut- Y. W. C. A. ■ OFFICERS Mae Teufel President Helen Miller Vice-President Mary Miller Secretary Marie Huss Treasurer The Y. W. C. A. is a group of girls who unite to reaHze full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God, to have a part in making this life possible for all people, in this task to seek to understand Jesus and to follow him. Although the Young Women ' s Christian Association has been organized only three years, it has succeeded in developing into one of the leading organi- zations on the campus. Its work in welcoming the new students and helping them to become accustomed to college life is outstanding. The big and little sister breakfast in the woods has become an annual event. It sponsors the faculty reception to the students, plans the Mothers ' Day celebration, holds teas, banquets, basketball games, supports a hiking club, visits factories, hold tennis tournaments, gives parties, weiner roasts, welcomes visitors, encourages Bible study and reading, and arranges the chapel program once a month and goes Christmas carolling annually. Weekly programs are varied and stimulating. The subjects have dealt with etiquette, vocations, music, art, marriage, clothing, sex, birds, ideal girl, happiness, make-up, mythology, and Indians. The programs have taken the forms of plays, discussions, fashion shows, pantomimes and speeches. The organization has supplied ironing-board covers for the boards in the dormitory and is planning on furnishing completely one of the guest rooms. Page One Hundred Four L-Ur Y. W. C. A.

Page One Hundred Five Wir [JLliaC: D F ' Demosthenean Literary Society OFFICERS Ethel HocKEMEYER President George English Vice-President Anna K. GrEEVER Secretary-Treasurer The Demosthenean Literary Society was organized in 1028. It has continually grown and has proven to be very beneficial to the students. It is worthwhile in that it provides an opportunity for the individual to have the actual experience of public speaking — a chance to put into practice that which he learns in the classroom. The programs arc interesting and instructive. They deal with varied topics, such as: literary men and women (lives, works, influence), dates (Hallowe ' en. Thanksgiving. Christ- mas, Valentine, Easter, and birthdays of famous people), current events, and important world problems. These are presented in the forms of debates, orations, declamations, talks, extempo- raneous speeches, impromptu speeches, one-act plays, readings and special music. All the members participate in the meetings and have been especially willing to cooperate. Occasionally social meetings are held.

It is controlled entirely by the students and is of great importance to them as well as to the district at large. Page One Hundred Sever. Wm -Lr ■ i-J Young Men ' s Bible Class OFFICERS Paul Moose Superintendent George English Assistant Superintendent Marie Huss Secretary-Treasurer The Young Men ' s Bible Class is composed of all the boys on the campus and any others that may wish to attend. Professor Hackemann is head of this organization and serves as teacher. The purpose of this class is twofold. To study the Bible and God ' s word and by so doing we train ourselves to be better Christians: and to uphold the Christian ideals and name of Lenoir Rhyne College. Every boy is urged to attend this class every Sunday but is not compelled to. It is hoped that they will feel the need of coming and worshipping with us so that they will really want to attend. All visitors and newcomers are welcomed and invited to attend. Paqe One Hundred Eight ' - J Girls ' Sunday School Class OFFICERS Mary Young Miller President Pearl Ballentine Secretary-Treasurer The girls residing on the college campus have organized a Sunday School Class, which functions as a part of the college department of the Sunday School. The members have shown much interest and enthusiasm, resulting in good attendance, helpful programs and a desire to promote Christian living on the campus. The group assists in the nearby parishes, when needed, by supplying Sunday School teachers and special church music. During the holiday seasons food and clothing is gathered and sent to poor families who need provisions. The success of the class has been brought about largely through the efforts of Misses Alleman and Stabler, who act as instructors. Page One Hundred Nine X9%% Diakonian Club OFFICERS DowiE StonER President Robert Shelby Vice-President George English Secretary-Treasurer Prof. L. F. Hackemann Faculty Advisor Membership in the Diakonian Club is not confined to ministerial students alone, although its chief purpose is to help prepare students who intend to devote their lives to Christian service. By means of varied programs and round table discussions the members become acquainted with many of the vital prob- lems which will confront them in life. They learn to overcome evil and hold fast to that which is good, thus fulfilling their promise and becoming servants of Christ. Page One Hundred Ten French Club OFFICERS Robert Barkley President Clarence Stasavich Vice-President William Moretz Secretary Pearl Ballentine Treasurer The more knowledge one acquires the more eager he becomes to seek it. In general this is the objective of the French Club, which was organized in 1928 under the direction of Prof. H. O. Anderson. Every student now taking French or any student who has already had French is eligible for membership into this club. The French Club, during its regime on the campus, has grown from a very small organization to one of the strongest and the interest shown is quite pleasing and forecasts its increasing popularity. Regular meetings are held throughout the year and a full French program is rendered. A reading from the Bible followed by the Lord ' s Prayer — both of which are in French — opens the meeting. Then a lecture in French, usually by Professor Anderson himself, on some great French hero or some interesting feature of France is given. This has always been very in- structive and is one of the main objectives of the club. Since the class periods provide such a limited time for anything other than the regular lesson. Professor Anderson saw the need of extra time whereby French statesmen and the con- ditions of France could be discussed and also permit the students to practice the French that they learn in class. The fruits of his efforts is the French Club. Page One Hundred Eleven German Club OFFICERS Miles D. ERDLEY President Luther JEFFCOAT Vice-President Wade YOUNT Secretary Elizabeth Friday Treasurer At the present time there seems to be coming into the foreground the common realization that the study of a foreign language does not concern itself with the method of verbal expres- sion of the people of the foreign country alone; but equally important are the historical de- velopments, the literature, the customs, the habits, and the art of the living of the people of the foreign country. This idea was more vividly expressed by a certain leader in the field of modern education when he said that there should no longer be a department of German or French, or of Spanish in the colleges of today: but there should be a department of Germany, or of France, or of Spain. Under the present arrangement of the foreign language course in many colleges it is impossible to devote a sufficient length of time during the regular class periods to the discus- sion of the history, literature, customs, habits, and the art of living of a foreign people. This is true at Lenoir Rhyne College at the present time. Professor H. O. Anderson, head of the Department of Modern Languages, has been conscious of the fact that there is something more necessary for a well-rounded course in a foreign language than the study of grammar and composition alone. Since it is impossible to devote any considerable degree of time to the study of other things beyond grammar and composition during class periods, he has organ- ized a German Club which makes it possible for those who are interested in German to learn more about the people, history and literature of Germany. Page One Hundred Twelve X S The L Club OFFICERS Lex BaRKLEY President Edwin Hughes Vice-President Nina YouNT Secretary -Treasurer The L Club is the latest organization on the campus. All students, who had been awarded a letter in athletics, feeling that there should be a closer union between them, organized themselves into this club, which is now one of the strongest, most influential and most distinguished clubs on the campus. Any student who has been officially awarded the L, in any branch of athletics, is a member of this organization. It is governed by a written con- stitution which provides for the election of officers, admission and the work of the club. The object of the club is to promote better and cleaner athletics at Lenoir Rhyne College and to bring the athletes of the institution into closer and more profitable relations with each other. It is also an aid to the social aspects of the college and in years to come is expected to be of great help both to the college and to the athletes. Page One Hundred Thirteen Queen of May . . .

The team was very light and lacked experience and reserve material was very scarce. The team playing their last year under the leadership of Coach Gurley encountered some of the strongest teams they have ever met and with victories over Newberry, Elon and King, the real strength of the Bears had to be recognized. After all in taking everything into consideration, Gurley ' s last edition of Moun- tain Bears did remarkably well.

Hughes was outstanding all season at his regular birth at guard. Rhyne, B. Troutman and H. Troutman played their last season for Lenoir Rhyne and gave an excellent account of themselves on the hardwood. The high lights of the season was the great performance against Wash- ington and Lee and victories over Catawba, Appalachian and High Point. Page One Hundred Thirty-two  -Ur- Girls ' Basketball The Lenoir Rhyne girls reeled off what is surely the most successful season they ever had. winning seven out of the eight games played. Opening the season at Wingate the Bearettes got off to a flying start defeating them 31-19 and moved on to Statesville the next night where they gave Mitchell College a 34-7 trouncing. The co-eds traveled to Marion. Va.. and there snowed Marion College under by the lopsided score of 39-1 S. Going to Appalachian the next night, the Bearettes lost their only game of the season, being nosed out by the State Teachers in the closing seconds of the game 31-29. In their first home appear- ance the girls kept their sensational stride to defeat Mitchell for the second time with an avalanche of goals, winning 41-13. Led by Ledbetter. high-scoring forward, Appalachian was handed its only defeat of the season in a return game on the local court. The game was close and was easily the outstanding game of the season. Following this Marion College was again buried under a volley of baskets. losing this time to the tune of 51-11, Wingate closed the season by losing to the fast stepping co-eds 37-13. Only three players were lost by graduation.

Starting the season our strong but weakening as it progressed, the Mountain Bears witnessed somewhat of an unsuccessful season, however at the close of the season soon came the news that the Mountain Bears had been declared the 1931 champions of the newly organized conference! The season opened with the Gurleymen staging a spectacular rally in the closing innings of the first game and overcoming a seven-run lead to nose out the Guilford Quakers 9-8. The Elon Christians came up for two games and on the first day turned the Bears back 13-10, but on the following day great playing behind Mesimer ' s sensational pitching let the Christians down 6-1. The fourth game was the high-light of the season when Freddie Sellers, backed by great support, blanked the ancient rivals from Catawba College 9-0. The next game found the Lutherans at Davidson and playing an erratic brand of ball to lose to the Wildcats 6-1. Then the Bears lost two loosely played games to Appalachian 14-6 and 12-8. Returning home they again hit their winning stride and let Mars Hill down 5-3. The Bears left for what proved to be somewhat of a disastrous trip, losing to Wake Forest 13-1 the first day and then going on to Quantico, Va., to lose two more games to Uncle Sam ' s Marines 18-8 and 14-2. Davidson closed the home season by giving the Bears a licking for the second time rhis season, 12-3. Playing Guilford at Guilford, and losing a close game 8-6. what was considered a very poor season was brought to a close, but soon the news reached the campus that a check-up. after ruling out some of the games in which ineligible players of other schools participated in. showed that the Mountain Bears of Lenoir Rhyne College was at the top and that the Lutherans had been crowned the first champions of the new organization of the smaller colleges of North Carolina. With only two lettermen missing from the 1931 squad and a crop of promising new material in camp, it now looks that the 193 2 edition of Mountain Bears will be able to defend their title and once more float the banner that has so consistently floated over the Lenoir Rhyne College campus.
