ARY LENOfR RHYNE COLLEGE FOREWORD Z HAT period of life which is spent in college is distinctly separated from the rest of one ' s life — it is something different, both from the earlier, and from the later periods ... a completion of the one, and a preparation for the other. As the years after graduation pass by, it is a pleasure to turn the pages of our school yearbooks, to recall classmates and acquaintances, incidents, and experiences, which belong to our college life. Bear- ing in mind the fact that this is the chief value of any yearbook, we have tried to make THE 1934 HACAWA a true representation of Lenoir Rhyne as it has been during the school term of ' 33- ' 34. It has been a significant year in many respects, and one that we who are concerned with the welfare of our Alma Mater shall not soon forget. In order to ac- complish this purpose, we have used no theme for the book other than the college itself, and its unity is based on the attempt to portray the unity of the various student and faculty activities of the college. We are aware that the task which we have under- taken is not an easy one, and that the finished product which we are submitting for your approval is in many ways imperfect. It is our hope that you who peruse the pages of this, the twenty-fifth volume of THE HACAWA, will do so with understanding.

Indeed a Christian gentleman of the highest order, this man went about, doing good, inculcating in the hearts of all who knew him ideals of service and of devotion. He has been aptly described by one who knew him well as a knight in shining armor. and his principles of truth and honor, emblazoned upon his shield, remain our standard. Page Twenty H. B. SCHAEFFER.

Muse, what strange music is that which for so long has echoed through the stillness? It is the music of a mighty orchestra, which began its melodies in the Fall of 19 30. The first faltering, timid melodies wandered and crashed, as the unskilled musicians began to play. A leader was chosen, one Maestro Overcash, and the process of organization and synchro- nization was begun. The harmonies became true, and the melodies beautiful, though there was at times sadness, as a player dropped out when a difficult passage was reached. Thus came the end of the first movement of the great symphony, and there was silence, as the players rested. Again Maestro Overcash raised his baton. The music was boisterous with passages of Bacchanal glee. It was majestic, swaggering music, with much clashing of cymbals and blaring of trumpets. Then, as a leading note to the third movement the music died and the orchestra rested. During the interval some players laid down their instruments, but others took their places. A new leader was chosen, one Maestro Barkley, and in the Fall of 1932 the music was resumed. This music was gay, buoyant, and carefree; it was the spirited music of the dance — the dance of the Jolly Juniors. The music swayed to the rollicking rhythms as they swelled and echoed. The dance ended with a crash. Still led by Maestro Barkley, the musicians began the last movement. This music began slowly, majestically, and with dignity — in it were echoes from the themes of the preceding movements. The music rose, swelled: the rhythm quickened, and then slow chords added rich harmonies; it quickened to new heights, sounded there gloriously, lessened and died on a note of poig- nant sadness. The musicians laid aside their instruments. Was this to be the end? No! No longer will these musicians play in unison, but each will go his way playing a solitary theme, adding to the music of the world. Page Thirty-two Senior Class Officers KATHRYN PERRY.

Education The professors would be well pleased if we were all as interested in our studies as Louise. We ' ve seen her reading during her vacant periods, during lunch hour, and late in the afternoon. She doesn ' t seem to be tempted to loaf! We envy her. CYRUS VINCENT ANDERSON HICKORY. N. C. A.B. General German and French Clubs, two years; Vice-President of French Club (2). Cyrus has the distinction of being the youngest mem- ber of our class. Following in the footsteps of his bril- liant father, he is a good scholar, interested especially in foreign languages. He plans to go on with his studies next year. We ' re expecting to hear more about him. WAYNE AUSTIN TAYLORSVILLE. N. C. B.S. Physics A dependable fellow, who is always present, and cheer- fully does more than his share of the work — that ' s Wayne. He has been a true member of the class of ' 34.

We do not need to introduce Bob. He ' s one of our best known members, and likewise one of our most in- teresting. We ' re proud of his musical talent, too. He should become a great pianist. ANNA MARGARET BENDER R1DGEWAY, N. C. A.B. History Alpha Psi Omega; Y. W. C. A. (2, 3, 4), President (4); Demosthenian Literary Society (1, 2, 3, 4); German Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Ladies ' Bible Class (1. 2. 3, 4); Missionary Society (3, 4); Luther League (4); Playmaking (2, 3, 4); Reporter to Call Board of Alpha Psi Omega (4); Religious Council (4); Student Assistant in History (3, 4); Honor Roll (1, 2, 3, 4). Anna is a student worthy of high praise. Her earnest- ness, her sincere interest, and her desire to complete her college work with merit, have won the respect of both her classmates and her instructors. EDITH NAOMA BLACK HICKORY, N. C. A.B. Primary Course Y. W. C. A. (1); Demosthenian Literary Society (1); L Club (2, 3); Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4), Captain (3). The word cute, so dear to feminine tongues, best describes Edi. She is all of those things which the term may include. We don ' t have to explain why she is one of our most popular girls. She is competent, too. Page Thirty-five HACAWA LENOIR FRANCES VIRGINIA BOST HICKORY. N. C. A.B. Education Alpha Psi Omega: Demosthenian Literary Society; L Club; Playmaking (3. 4); Basketball (1, 2, 3); Maid of Honor to May Queen (4). Imagine a girl who is pretty, who is full of energy, who is friendly — and who is almost a man-hater! This unique trait only adds to Frances ' list of charms. The Juniors have shown their good taste by selecting her as the beauty of our class. MARY BELLE BROWN LENOIR. N. C. A.B. Public School Music Bible Class (3, 4); Y. W. C. A. (3, 4).

Mary Belle is the busiest girl we know. Or does she work hard, so she can spend those week-ends away? So much of sweetness and good looks aren ' t to be wasted. GEORGE MEMORY CHAPMAN MORVEN, N. C. A.B. Chemistry Alpha Psi Omega; French Club (2); Chemstry Club (3, 4). Vice-President (4); Playmaker (2, 3, 4); Literary Society (4); Football (1. 3, 4); Assistant Business Manager Hacawa (3), Business Manager (4); Iuter-Collegiate Debating Team (2, 3, 41; Winner Freshman-Sophomore Oratorical Contest (2); Winner Junior-Senior Oratorical Contest (3); Honorable Prompter, Alpha Psi Omega (4); Student Cabinet (3, 4).

(1, 2); Typist Lenoir Rhynean Staff (1); Luther League (1). A wave of the hand, a broad smile, always a friendly remark — Ruth passes by. She leaves an impression of one eager to begin many things, and capable of carrying them through. A. J. COX HICKORY, N. C. A.B. (Three-year Student) Honor Roll, Ci. 2, 3). A. J. upholds the morale of the class. He ' s the only one who knows enough about the subject being taught to ask questions which the teacher can ' t answer. It is true that he is a good public speaker. It is just as true that he always has something to sav. McRAY CRAWFORD HAYSVILLE, N. C. A.B. German Club (3, 4); Winner State Oratorical Contest, 1933. As the busy pastor of two churches, and the leader in other work connected with his charges, McRay has not had the time for extra-curricular activities which he has desired. We have been benefited, however, by his ready co-operation in every possible way. Page Thirty-seven ■ HACAWA LENOIR IDA FRANCES CREECH HICKORY, N. C. A.B. Latin (Three-year Student) Alpha Psi Omega; V. W. C. A. (4); Honor Roll (1 2, 3). Ida knows all about Terence and Martial and Juvenal, and can discuss them intelligently. Yet she has varied interests and talents. The classical influence does not prevent her being a very modern girl, with a modern out- look on life. MARTHA FRANCES CRIGLER BRIGHTVVOOD, VA. A.B. English Alpha Psi Omega; Y. W. C. A. (1, 2. 3, 4): Bible Class (1. 2, 3, 4); Luther League (1, 2, 3, 4); Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (3, 4), Treasurer (4); Missionary Society (2, 3, 4), Secretary (3), President (4); Literary Society (3, 4); Worthy Playwright, Alpha Psi Omega (4); Library Assistant (2. 3, 4). Martha has been called the infant. We feel that this is a misnomer, for she is a very capable young woman. Her unassuming ways deceive one. In those big brown eyes there is a mischievous twinkle. HELEN HOWARD D ' ANNA HICKORY, N. C. A.B. History Alpha Psi Omega; Y W. C. A. (1. 2, 3, 4); Literary Society (1, 2, 4); Playmaker (2. 3, 4); Letter Club (1. 2, 3. 4); Y. Y. C. A.

Something between a giggle and a laugh is heard in the hall, the library door opens with a bang, and in walks Helen, the best all-round girl we ' ve every met — facing the situation with courage. Page Thirty-eight wm. ZZke 193 4 RHYN E EUGENIA MAE ECHERD TAYLORSVILLE. N. C. A.B. Education Y. W. C. A.; Mitchell College (1, 2). Eugenia always answers questions. She is well in- formed, so it isn ' t any trouble for her, and the rest of the class is grateful. It saves them quite a bit of mental effort. During her one year with us Eugenia has b:en an excellent student. RUTH LENORA EFIRD ALBEMARLE, N. C. A.B. English Y. W. C. A. (2, 3, 4); Literary Society (2, 3, 4); French Club (2, 3, 4); Playmaker (3, 4); Bible Class (2, 3); Missionary Society (3, 4); Lenoir Rlmwan Staff (4); Catawba College (1); Honor Roll (2. 3, 4). Ever considerate of those with whom she associates, ever ready to help, Ruth is indeed a friend. We who know her appreciate her sincerity and her loyalty. THELMA HANNON FOX HICKORY, N. C. A.B. Education Alpha Psi Omega. A good leader, quick to make decisions, efficient in doing her work. Thelma should be a successful business woman. We aren ' t sure, however, that she wants a career. We ' re remembering that she ' s a striking blond, of the type men are said to prefer. Page Thirty-nine HACAWA LENOIR BETTY ELINOR GOSNOLD HICKORY, N. C. A.B. Music, French, English, History French Club (1, 2, 3. 41; Music Club (1. 2); Glee Club (4); Art Editor Hacawa (4); Class Historian (4); Honor Roll (2, 3, 4). A musician, an artist, a good scholar — here we have a talented girl. As historian of the class, Betty has com- pleted the record of our achievements. She has also com- pleted a fine record of her own. CHARLES D. HEMPHILL FOREST CITY, N. C. A.B. Mathematics Men ' s Letter Club (1, 2. 3, 4); Football (1, 2, 3), Captain (J); Tennis (3, 4); Highland Hall Commission (4), Cabinet (4); Vice-President Class (3). Wig takes care of his own affairs, and certainly doesn ' t interfere with those of other people. For self- expression, he goes to the football field or to the tennis court. It ' s very effective! MILDRED JANE HORNER HICKORY. N. C. A.B. Education Y. Y. C. A. (4); Luther League (4); Teacher Training Course, Startown, X. C. Summer School Work, Appalachian State Teachers ' College, Lenoir Rhyne, N. C. C. V., Davidson and Duke. Mildred has taken work at several schools, and has studied at Lenoir Rhyne only one year. From the work which she has done here, we consider her a valuable addition to our class, whom we would have welcomed long ago. Page Forty 3:kz 19 3 4 RHYNE EDITH COLENE HUFFMAN HICKORY, N. C. A.B. Education Alpha Psi Omega; Demosthenian Literary Society (3, 4); Second Distinction (3, 4) ; Winner Helen Norman Trower Original Play Contest (3); Grand Director Alpha Psi Omega (4). Beneath her reserve, there are found in Edith unsu- spected qualities. She has a personality as pleasing as her appearance. She is a good all-round student, and a star in playmaking. SUSIE ALICE ISENHOWER CONOVER, N. C. A.B. English Alpha Psi Omega; German Club (2. 3, 4); Haymaker (3, 4). From our freshman days Susie has been the most friendly and the happiest of us all. She writes good comedies, and is something of a comedian. Yet she has a more serious nature. We like the combination. ARCHIBALD A. JOYNER HICKORY. N. C. B.S. Physics Glee Club (2, 3); Literary Society (3); Assistant in Physics Department (2, 3. 4). Archie spends too much time over at the science building. We know that he has a full schedule over there, and that his leisure time must be spent with a charming young lady down town, so we aren ' t blaming him.

W. C. A. (1, 2. 3); Playmaking (3. 4); Honor Roll (2). Good works may speak for themselves, and Eunice is a good worker. We think, however, that she should practice self-assertion. She doesn ' t let many people know how clever she really is. She studies French, but prays in German. WILLIE COZETTE LUEZ VALE, N. C. A.B. English, French Debating (3) ; Demosthenian Literary Society (1, 2, 3, 4); French Club (1, 2. 3. 4); Y. W. C. A. (4); Missionary Society (3, 4); Ladies ' Bible Class (1, 2, 3. 4). Willie is an old trooper. She started out with us when we were all stage hands. and now she is prepared to be a director herself. A very good one she will be, too. Were wishing her luck. MARGARET WETZEL MEYER CHARLESTON, S. C. A.B. Education Literary Society (3, 4); French Club (4); Honor Roll (3, 4); Winthrop College (1, 2). There is an air of distinction about Margaret which makes her singularly attractive. She is an unusual type, vivacious and alert, keenly interested in everything which is taking place, and eager to have a share in it. Page Forty-two CZkz 19 J 4 RHY E DOROTHY ROSE MILLER HICKORY, N. C. A.B. High School Commercial Teachers We never expect the cares of the world to bother Dorothy Rose — she ' s too wise to take them seriously. Her wit, and her grin, have made for her many friends. Would that we were all so cheering! RUTH CAROLINE MILLER CHAPIN, S. C. A.B. Education Y. W. C. A.

A small girl who does big things — Ruth has taken a leading part in college life, and has shown us how capable and how dependable she is. She may believe that actions speak louder than words. WILLIAM T. MILLS MONROE, N. C. A.B. History Wingate Jr. College (1, 2); Men ' s Letter Club (3, 4), Secre- tary (4); Footbail (3. 4); Baseball (3, 4), Alternate Captain (4); Highland Hall Commission (3, 4), Secretary (4). Bill is an all-round good fellow, whom everyone likes, a favorite at Highland Hall, and a secret inspira- tion for some of the girls down at Mauney Hall. During his two years at Lenoir Rhync he has made a good record in football and in baseball. Page Forty-thr HACAWA LENOIR MARY REBECCA MOORE HICKORY, N. C. B.S. Pre-Chemical Mathematics Club Queens-Cliicora College (2) ; L. R. Chemistry Club (3, 4); German Club (3, 4); Queens-Chicora College (2). It is said that a chemical course is not easy. Rebecca hasn ' t been worried by its difficulties. She has worked hard during her college years, and deserves much credit for the success she has achieved in her field. FRED MCCOY MULL VALE, N. C. General, Preparing for Teacher ' s Work German Club (4). Previous Work: Student in the Junior Cillege of Augusta, Augusta, Ga., 1929-1932. Received Pre-medical Diploma from this Institution. Attended L. R. Summer School 1933. This has been Fred ' s only year with us. We are sorry, too. He really should have come sooner, for his quiet and studious manner is a good example many should copy. WILLIAM CARLOS NEWTON lib KORY, N. C. A.B. History Men ' s Letter Club (1, 2, Captain (4) ; Baseball (1,2 3, 4); Football (1, 2, 3, 4), Alternate 3, 4), Captain (4); Basketball (3, 4). For four years Bus ' ' has been the pride of our football team, and he has made an excellent record in the other sports. His latest success has been in the field of practice teaching.

Our confidence in Sonny was shown when we elected him president of our student body. He has been outstanding in all student activities, and in athletics. WILLIAM EDWARD PAIGE HICKORY, N. C. B.S. Chemistry Chemistry Club. Bill shows his superiority in the chemistry lab. He ' s rather unconcerned about other things, but we ' ve dis- covered beneath his unconcern a fine classmate. His characteristic trait — and it is a good one — is that of frankness. LOIS IRENE PEERY NORTH TAZEWELL, VA. A.B. Latin Iota Epsilon Omega; Literary Society (1, 2, 3, 4); German Club (1, 2); Y. W. C.

If all intellectual people were able to conceal their knowledge as Kathryn does, our ignorance wouldn ' t be so embarrassing. We consider her a little auburn-haired girl who loves fun, and helps other people to enjoy life — outside the classroom. Inside, we ' re very quiet, and listen. RUTH GENELIA RICH CANDLER, N. C. A.B.

When she takes the role of Polly Jordon, we feel ourselves across ' The Great Divide. When she debates, we decide that is very desirable. SARA ELIZABETH ROOF LINCOLNTON. N. C. A.B. English, History Alpha Psi Omega; Literary Society (3, 4); Young Women ' s Bible Class (3, 4); French Club (1, 2); Y. W. C. A. (3); Religious Council (4); Playmaking (4); Honor Roll (2, 3). Happy and carefree Sara can see a funny side to every situation. Yet, her sense of humor is only one of her attractions. She is frank and honest in all that she says, and trustworthy in all that she does. We value the friendship of such a one. Forty-six ZZke 193 4 RHYXE HELEN LOUISE SCHELL CONOVER, N. C. A.B.

Page Fifty-seven Junior Class History IT hardly seems possible that we are Juniors. But it is true that three years ago we were Freshmen. During this time we have metamorphosed into a class, smaller, perhaps, than before, but one which has ever upheld the standards upon which our college was founded. Our goal has been to supplement our previous training by worthy collegiate achievement, not forgetting to foster, and to par- ticipate in, as many extra-curricular activities as possible. This has been our goal. We realize that much remains un- conquered and unchallenged, and the fact that in another year we will be Seniors, spurs us on with more enthusiasm. As we retrospect, we see ourselves during our first year gradually becoming acquainted with, and adopting, college life. Soon we become a regular campus organization, en- deavoring to assume the responsibility with earnestness: that this was continued during our second and third years we readily see when we look back at our record. Now that the end is in view, we sprint ahead with even more de- termination to make our sojourn here really productive. To the Seniors we say farewell. We wish for them success and happiness, wherever their paths may lead. To the underclassmen we extend a challenge — onward and ever onward during their remaining years in college. Let us co- operate in every effort to make Lenoir Rhyne a better col- lege; thus we shall have an Alma Mater which we shall be proud to own.

We strangers, however, were known as Freshmen. The way in which we were received caused us to like the place from the start. The school spirit, which was so evident, made us glad that we were a part of Lenoir Rhyne College. When an analysis of our class was made, many desir- able folks were found to be in our ranks. There were ath- letes, outstanding scholars, and many who will be remem- bered for the inter-woven friendships which were created. Such capable leaders as John Ridenhour and Dorus Huss have done much to mold our class into form. A second chapter of our college career began with the 1933-1934 school year. Everyone was eager to return to the old Alma Mater, and to begin at the place we had left in the preceding year. New faces indicated an inter- esting year for us. Now that we have reached the half-way mark, we pause to see what is yet in store for us. There are great possibilities. Let us take advantage of them. Let us make the class of ' 36 stand out as an example for future classes. Let us refer to the class of ' 36 as the strangers of 1932, the classmates of today, and the leaders of tomorrow.

Linden Ruth Wylie Clyde Todd Bennett Wimberly Helen Yoder William Wolff Freshman Class History In September, 1933, yet another Freshman Class entered at Lenoir Rhyne. It was warmly welcomed by the faculty, and by the upperclassmen, during all the activities of Freshman Week. Although at first a bit hesitant, the Freshmen showed an increasing tendency through the fall and winter to enter into every activity on the campus. The class was formally organized early in December, and the officers elected. Freshmen, both men and women, are making records for themselves in athletics: freshmen are doing promising work in the Glee Club and other musical organizations; a few have gone into journalism; some have taken up debating and oratory, while others have taken up Play- making. Freshmen have joined all of the organizations on the campus, except the exclusive fraternities. Nor have they neglected the primary purpose of coming to college, for they are upholding a high standard of scholarship. This, with their interest in extra-curricular activities, is developing them in many directions. Naturally, there are certain faults of immaturity, which the Freshmen have yet to overcome, but there is high promise that in time they will be using their talents for the improvement and glory of Lenoir Rhyne.

It is the aim of this organization to Page Eighty-four £ZAe 10J4 RHYME ■ Chapman Leath Iota Epsilon Omega make the work accomplished on the Lenoir Rhynean and HACAWA staffs mean something to the participants, to the field, and to the college. Membership is gained through effort, service, and ability. One is con- sidered for membership only after he has entered his Junior year. To be a mem- ber brands one as willing and able to spend his talents for the advancement of journalism here at the college. Last year this fraternity was organized under the name Iota Chi Sigma : but when it was found that the national organization was being discontinued, it was necessary to change our organization. At the present time, a state-wide organization is the aim of Iota Epsilon Omega. Page Eighty-five HACAWA Lois Peery Editor-in-Chief George M. Chapman Business Manager The Hacawa Contrary to the usual plan, no attempt has been made to produce a schol- arly book. This volume of the HACAWA is a record of the school year, as com- plete as we have been able to make it. arranged so that it may be representative of the student body which it serves. All foreign material has been purposely omitted. While there have been many activities which we are not able to report. and many students have done worthwhile things which we arc not able to feature, yet we believe that a fair cross-section of our campus life is being dis- played. Certainly the book is a student publication. A greater number have their individual pictures in the class sections than in former years. All of the copy has been prepared for the editor by members of the various organizations. Quite a few suggestions regarding the make-up have beeen given, and as far as it is possible, carried out. Several new groups and organizations have been given space in the activities section. The co-operation of the staff, students, and also members of the faculty, has simplified the task of editing the book, and to them is due much of its merit.

In 1931 the paper was brought under the direct con- trol of the student body which elects, competitively, the members of the staff. The purpose of this paper is to give the students a written record of the activities on the campus, also, that this record may be preserved, as a memorial of our college life at Lenoir Rhyne. The motto. For a Greater Lenoir Rhyne. has ever been an incentive to the students to make this a most successful weekly newspaper.

The debates for both men and women were on the ques- tion: Resolved, that the United States should agree to the cancellation of inter-allied war debts. Since all women de- baters of the preceding year had graduated, new material had to be developed. Ruth Miller and Juanita Sink upheld the affirmative, and Janet Earhart and Ruth Bisanar defended the negative in the six decision and the four non-decision debates engaged in by the women, Aileen Bumgarncr and Willie Lutz serving as alter- nates. The men debaters were more experienced, all except Harlan Creech hav- ing debated the year before. Dent Summers and George Chapman upheld the affirmative, with David H. Mauney as alternate. The mainstay of the negative team was Lex Barkley, with Harlan Creech in one debate and Marshall Shivcs in the others as his colleagues. The women ' s teams opened the season on February 27 with a dual debate with Winthrop College of Rock Hill, S. C. While the affirmative bowed to veteran debaters by a two to one decision, the negative won decisively. The men ' s teams won over Elon on March 3, the negative by a unanimous decision, and on March 7 they continued their victorious march by defeating Guilford twice by unanimous votes. Both men and women entered the Tri-State Forensic Tournament at Salisbury March 9, 10, 11, and made an excellent showing, the men tying for second place. The women ' s affirmative broke even, winning over Catawba, but losing to Western Carolina Teachers, while the negative made an identical record. The men ' s affirmative won over Western Carolina Teachers, but lost to Atlantic Christian, William and Mary, and to Waynesburg College. The negative defeated the College of Charleston, Atlantic Christian, Applachian Teachers, and Waynesburg College, but lost to High Point and State. Alto- gether during the season the men won nine debates and lost five, including those with large schools. The men ' s and women ' s teams met everyone of the so-called Little Seven, losing only four and winning nine, the men losing only two and winning seven debates.

Rhyne teams under Dr. Albert Reiser, meeting all comers, among them large colleges and universities, have lost only twenty-five and won fifty decision de- bates. During the 1933-34 season the new debaters are continuing the record. The girls placed first in the Women ' s Division of the Tri-State Forensic Tourna- ment, and both men and women debaters won in the Little Seven nine out of ten debates. In oratory a perfect record was made. On April 21 McRae Crawford won the State Oratorical Contest. Miss Margaret Mauney on March 10 placed second in the State Extemporaneous Contest, placed first in the Women ' s Oratorical Contest March 28, and also won the State Peace Contest on April 28. It was the first time in the history of the state that one school had won all three state oratorical contests, and that one person won both the Women ' s Oratorical and the State Peace Contest in one year. The high standards of honor, fair dealing, and thorough preparation characterizing the forensic activities of the college are being recognized far and wide. Her forensic coach, Dr. Albert Reiser, has for seven years served as the Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the N. C. Intercollegiate Forensic Association. He is also the Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the N. C. Association of Teachers of Speech, the Executive Secretary and State Chairman of the N. C. Intercol- legiate Peace Association and the Director of the Tri-State and the South At- lantic Forensic Tournament. The excellent work in both Oratory and Debat- ing has received national recognition by Pi Rappa Delta, largest and most exacting forensic honor society in the United States, for it admits Lenoir Rhyne College debaters and orators to membership in the General Chapter.

The Playbill and The Call-Board are the publications of the national organization, giving the news and reports of the various casts. Through these publications Lenoir Rhyne is recognized at over one hundred colleges and universities. Virtue, temperance, patience, godliness, and obedience are the cardinal principles of the fraternity, which every member is duty-bound to uphold. Seek a Life Useful, is the motto of the fraternity. Page Ninety-four Ztkz 193 4 RHYN E Plavmakers Playmaking in all its phases is perhaps the most fascinating of all the cre- ative arts open to the youth of today. It makes a wider range of development possible, and it alone provides fields for such a variety of talents. Not just anyone is qualified to become an aspiring playmaker, for that title is ex- clusive in being rightfully given only to those who have souls. The one best fitted to lead these aspirants toward worthy accomplishments in this wide field of work and play is Miss Setzer. She takes the most unde- termined soul and develops a side of it which it had scarcely been conscious of possessing. The Playmakers, in the spring of 1933, put on a May Day Celebration in Ye Olde English which has been by worthy critics termed unique and highly meritorious. The spring play, due to a number of requests, was a repeti- tion of Little Women which had been given the previous fall. At Com- mencement, Edith Huffman was awarded the Helen Norman Trower medal for Judgment Delayed, the best original play of the year. Bob Shelby won the Alpha Psi Omega award for the best religious play, Beyond the Tomb. The first production of the Playmakers ' eighth year was a pageant given in Statesville, If Ye Love Me, in which thirty playmakers took part. Then followed a series of one-act plays by well know authors which were presented in Literary Society, Y. W. C. A., and other meetings. March Heir, Grand- ma Pulls the String, Are Men Superior? , Teapot on the Rocks ; the second having been produced three times, and the last two, twice. Page Ninety-live HACAWA Playmakers The fall play of the year was William Waughn Moody ' s The Great Divide ; a double cast was used, and the play was given in Hickory, and in Lenoir. After Christmas the annual authors ' reading was held, and the three best plays were selected to be given in the spring. A Challenge to Rotary, written by Miss Setzer, was presented at the Rotary Club banquet in February. In Hickory, on March 15th, the three original plays, Her Name was Ruth, by Frances Miller of Concord, Brothers, by Sara Roof, of Lincolnton, East is East, by Alice Deal of Salisbury, and Christopher Morley ' s Thursday Evening, were successfully presented. East is East and Thurday Evening will be presented in contest with other colleges in the Dramatic Tournament at Chapel Hill in April. The Play- makers and fraternity members will also enter the make-up, costume, poster, scrap-book, and stage model sections of the tournament. Original religious plays are being rehearsed for the annual Alpha Psi Omega religious play contest. Plans are also being made for a Commencement play, and toward a May Day festival, which is to be held in the ancient Greecian fashion. Ninety-six D ' Anna Crigler Y. W. C. A.

Young college women residing on, and near the campus, compose this organization. The class, under the able supervision of Miss Helen Miller, meets every Sunday morning for devotional and study periods. The aim of this group is to foster Christian interests on the campus and continue the work of serving Christ as every young woman has previously done in her own church. Page Ninety-nine Young Men ' s Bible Class The Young Men ' s Bible Class was organized seven years ago for the benefit of the dormitory boys at Lenoir Rhyne. Dean L. F. Hackemann was put in charge of the class and has proved himself to be an excellent religious instructor. The Bible Class is held each Sunday at the regular Sunday School period and has as its objective the enlightenment of God and his relation to the youth of the world and to all mankind. The class is led by Dean Hackemann, but discussions are held at times. Outside Religious Leaders are also brought in at intervals to teach the boys. The class, in recent years, has been organized, having a President and Secretary. This has been a great factor in creating interest in the work of the class. Now it is seen that the class is a great success, having on its roll nearly every student in Highland Hall. The Bible class is a great factor in raising the high moral and religious standard that prevails on the campus of Lenoir Rhyne. Page One Hundred Luther League OFFICERS Ruth Miller President CLYDE MiSENHEIMER Vice-President ROSALIE PHILLIPS Secretary-Treasurer The College Luther League is one of the leading religious organizations on the campus: its influence is of great importance in molding the lives of students during their stay at Lenoir Rhyne. It seeks to take the place of the Luther League or other Young People ' s Organization which may be a part of the students ' home environment. The League welcomes all the young men and young women on the campus, and offers them opportunities for leadership and Christian training. Each member may lead programs, and take an active part in the programs. Discussion groups are of great help in solving the problems which rise in the social and moral life of the students. Better fellowship and co-operation among the students is a direct result of the activi- ties of the Luther League. One aim of the League is to develop better church members and better Christians. The League is closely allied with the Sunday School in its effort to make of every student an ideal Christian boy or girl. The Luther League sponsors a number of delightful socials during the year, providing wholesome amusement and recreation. These meetings add to the spirit of good fellowship among the students, and lead to higher ideals in social relationships. The College League is conducted as nearly as possible like other Leagues in the state, although it is faced with quite different conditions and circumstances. It has the same ob- jectives as other Leagues, and endeavors to carry them out faithfully. The true aim of the Luther League is to promote good fellowship, enlist Christian service, and develop faithful Christian youth on the campus. Page One Hundred One L.E1VOIR Missionary Society OFFICERS Martha Crigler President Janet Earhart Vice-President CLAIRE SCHAEFFER Secretary -Treasurer The girls who are interested in the religious and moral life of others are organized in a group familiar to many as Young Women ' s Missionary Society. The ultimate purpose of this organization is to foster the interest in the field of missions, both home and foreign. We, as young people, have our part in this great organization and much of present work of missions today is due to the efforts and ideals of the young people. Although, we, representing a small group here on the campus, each of us aid a great deal in advancement of the mission work by our prayers and thoughts. We meet bi-monthly here on the campus. Each member is given the op- portunity to lead programs to express her ideas and opinions and to learn the viewpoints of others. In our program this year we are studying the present conditions of missions, including inner home and foreign missions, in order that we may increase our mission territory to include all people. Another phase of this organization is that it instills in the hearts of the young people a keener desire to be a better and more devout member of the church.

The primary aim of the Council is to enable the their plans and programs. Other duties have been assumed this year which have made necessary weekly meetings. The planning of each week ' s chapel programs, and also the monthly student service at St. Andrews Lutheran Church has been done by the Council. A marked degree of success has been attained in encouraging interest in the Lenten season, and in daily Bible reading. Page One Hundred Three HACAWA Diakonian Club OFFICERS CLYDE MlSENHEIMER President Dwight Conrad Vice-President WlLFORD LYERLY Secretary-Treasurer The Diakonian Club is one of the most important religious clubs on the campus. The members of this club are ones who are planning to enter the ministry or are interested in other religious fields. They band together for the purpose of preparing their lives for Christian Service, and to create among the other students a better knowledge of God. The club meets weekly, not as an independent group but extends invita- tions to anyone who wishes to observe what the Club is doing. The programs vary from time to time. Various topics are brought up and discussed, and each member has the opportunity of expressing his attitude on the subject. Promi- nent Religious men are invited often to give addresses which are of great benefit to the club. Membership programs are also held. Each year the club presents programs in surrounding communities to ex- tend their religious work to other people along with that on Lenoir Rhyne Campus. Page One Hundred Four ■iir Chemistry Club OFFICERS Dent Summers President George Chapman Vice-President MARY STIREWALT Secretary-Treasurer The L. R. Chemistry Club was organized in the spring of 1932. The purpose is to give those interested in Chemistry a more practical knowledge of the subject in its relation to every-day life. Under the supervision of Dr. Marion an eventful year has resulted. At the bi-monthly meetings projects prepared by the students were pre- sented. Included in these were the coal tar, sulphur and cellulose products, some of which represented extensive work and research on the part of the students. Also the relationship of Chemistry to the textile industry, to pharmacy and to medicine were discussed by representatives from the respective fields. The social side was not neglected for in January, Open House was held for the faculty and town friends. In the latter part of April, a bazaar. A most enjoyable tea was held in February for the purpose of realizing funds to cover the expense of visiting places of interest. Articles prepared for sale by the members of the club included hand and face lotions, book-marks, letter-openers, and other things which could be prepared in the laboratory. Page One Hundred Five German Club OFFICERS Hubert Aderholdt President DURAND STETLER Vice-President GEORGE PHILLIPS Secretary and Treasurer At the present stage of civilization, one finds that in order to be well educated and intellectual, he must know more than what he learns about his own country, and have some knowledge of a language other than his own. He must know the customs and the languages of other countries of the world. Hence the German Club on our campus. This club meets regularly and is made up of students who are studying German, and of any others who are interested in learning of the customs and the language of the German people. The programs presented at the meetings are both entertaining and instruc- tive. One of the most outstanding addresses of the year was made by Pro- fessor Anderson: A Comparison of the Educational Systems of Germany and the United States. Socials have also been held at various intervals during the year. Page One Hundred Six French Club OFFICERS K. P. EFIRD President ROGER McARVER Vice-President ALICE MORETZ Secretary and Treasurer Quite frequently, in America, the study of French attracts more students than does any other foreign language. So we find at Lenoir-Rhyne a large group interested in the study of French grammar, and especially in the study of French literature. Those people engaged in such study have organized a club with both educational and social motives. Regular meetings arc held by the club, and certain social activities are sponsored by it during the school year. Under an able supervisor, Professor H. O. Anderson, and a capable president, K. P. Efird, the members of the club have received much benefit from their organization. Page One Hundred Seven Demosthenian Literary Society OFFICERS JACK LASLEY President D. H. MAUNEY Vice-President ALICE DEAL Secretary and Treasurer J. W. COBB Chaplain The capability of adaptation in the modern social life is one of the great obstacles that confront the man or woman as they leave their college days be- hind, and it is one of the most important problems in reference to their career as a success. The requisites for acquiring this significant trait are intellectuality and cultural development. Both run closely together and obviously overlap at intervals. From the very nature of these above mentioned things it can easily be seen that it must be part of the training of college life to develop students along these lines. Here at Lenoir Rhyne this was realized, hence the Demosthenian Literary Society was organized. This took place in 1928, and since that time it has proven itself to be indispensable to college life. It is in this society that the students are trained in the art of public speaking and other forms of public appearance. Also, in this organization, the students learn of many things in the field of literature. The society also holds several entertainments during the year to further the development of social poise. Dr. Albert Keiser, Professor of English and Public Speaking, is the ex- cellent leader of this organization. However, the programs are conducted en- tirely by the student members. Page One Hundred Eight Glee Club OFFICERS J. W. COBB President Dent Summers Secretary LUTHER STIREWALT Treasurer Dr. Dingley Brown Director The glee club of any college is an important organization in that it enables the greatest number of those who are interested in music to participate in the concerts, and to express themselves in the realm of music. The glee club of Lenoir Rhyne College, through hard work, under capable instructors, has prepared this year a secular concert and a religious cantata. These programs have been given in the immediate vicinity, and in many cities throughout the State. The standard of the concerts have been upheld this year and the reputation of the glee club has continued to grow. The club plays an important part in interesting outsiders in the program and work of the college. Page One Hundred Nine Orchestra The need for an orchestra was felt more keenly than ever this year. The initiative was taken by a few boys, and due to the efforts of Robert Barkley, Eric Cotter, Paul Johnston, Jacob Cooper, Ben Grimes, T. W. Shuford, and Johnnie Gilbert, an excellent orchestra has been made up. Since dancing is now permitted at Lenoir Rhyne, under the supervision of college authorities, the orchestra, while it is a personal enterprise, sup- plies a very real need. Page Qne Hundred Ten Lettermen ' s Club OFFICERS Clarence Stasavich President BILL MILLS Vice-President JACK LASLEY Secretary-Treasurer The Lettermen ' s Club consists of men of Lenoir Rhyne College who have been awarded letters for participation in varsity sports, wishing to concentrate their efforts toward the de- velopment of true sportsmanship, better athletes and better teams, whose aim it is to create a spirit of cooperation among the players, the coaches, the administration, and the alumni of the school. Moreover, it is their purpose to maintain respect for, and pride in, the letter, and to make regulations concerning its wearing. At a meeting early in the fall, the club elected its officers, and decided that membership in the club should be confined to men. A constitution committee was appointed, since before this year the organization had been governed only by customs set up in previous years. In a later meeting the constitution was drawn up. but was not passed upon; it was decided to defer such passage until spring. Many features of the club must be thoroughly discussed, and several arrangements must be made, before a permanent organization is possible. An attempt is being made to secure a club room in Highland Hall. The administration has been willing to cooperate with the club, and for the coming year, a well-equipped room is expected to be at the disposal of the lettermen. This room is to be used only by lettermen and their guests. The lettermen consider the past year one during which a great deal has been accomplished, in that a stronger unit has been formed. Such an organization will live, and be active, on the campus in future years.

The final statistics show that the Bears scored 72 points against the 46 of their opponents. In only one game was more than one touchdown scored against them. Rollins, the strong team from Florida, crossed the line of the Bears only twice. The opening game was against the mighty P. C. team, and closed with a 7 to 7 tie. Until the last two minutes of the game Lenoir Rhyne outplayed her opponents, but during the last minute of play P. C. scored a touchdown and added the extra point. Other non-Conference games were against Wofford and Maryville. The Wofford game was hard fought throughout, with the Bears scoring at its close, Overcash making a touchdown, and only the failure of L. R. to make good the kick for the extra point, prevented a 7 to 7 tie. The Maryville game was featured by the running of New- ton and Poovey, with the Bears emerging victorious when Newton broke loose for the only score of the game. In the four Conference games played, two were won, one tied and one lost. W. C. T. C. was defeated, 27 to 0. with practically every man on the squad participating. In the Guilford game the Bears overcame a 6 to lead, com- ing back strong in the second half to humble the Quakers, 13 to 6, with Padgett and Newton making the touch- downs. The greatest upset of the season was the defeat administered by Elon in a game which Lenoir Rhyne was scheduled to win by two touchdowns, thus taking the Con- ference championship. The last and most important game of the season was against the greatest rival of the Bears, Catawba, on Thanksgiving Day. The game was hard fought, but as had been expected, it resulted in a to tie. When the All-Conference team was picked, Lenoir Rhyne was represented by Stasavich, tackle, who is also the captain-elect, and Reynolds, guard. Both of these boys played sensational ball throughout the season. The loss of Captain Hemphill and Alternate Captain Newton will be keenly felt, as both have been stars since coming to Lenoir Rhyne. Mills, Overcash and Chapman have also closed their football careers for Lenoir Rhyne with this season. wm . . ' jL ' ..

ASKE TBAII ■ Ul £ACCljJl CAPTAIN Boys ' Basketball At the opening of the 193 3-34 basketball season, prospects for retaining the Conference Championship were very bright. Six lettermen of last season, three of whom were regulars, answered the opening call, along with a large group of new material. When the crack Statesville Red Shields team, com- posed of former college stars, was held to a 31-41 score, a successful season was predicted. After the Christmas holidays, Old Man Jinx started to trail the Bears — Captain-Elect Leath, star for- ward for two years, was injured, and out for the rest of the season. Leath had been expected to furnish much of the offensive punch of the Cagers. Later in the season Lindsay Deal developed a hand injury which kept him out of many crucial games. Pinkie James was placed on the sick list and could not finish the season. The final check showed the season to be very disas- trous. In the Conference, five games were won, eight lost and four games were dropped to non-Conference foes. Lindsay Deal, with 125 points, was high scorer for the ssason. His real worth was recognized by electing him alternate captain for next year. Pinkie James was second in high scoring, with 107 points to his credit. Fol- lowing him was Don Padgett, who scored 106 points and shows great promise for the future. Next on the scoring line was Captain Sonny Overcash, with 90 points. Sonny was outstanding both defensively and offensively, and ended his basketball career with much honor. Stasavich played colorful ball in every game, and was again picked as an All-Conference star. Bill Willett showed expertness in taking the place of Pinkie James toward the close of the season, and scoring 28 points. Duke Stetler also scored 28 points and was especially good against Appalachian, when he pulled the game out of the fire almost single handedly. Those players receiving letters were Captain Over- cash, Alternate Captain Stasavich, Deal, Padgett, James, Willett, Stetler, Bumgarner and Reynolds. By graduation the team will lose Overcash and James. Overcash, Capt.

The Tennis Bears ended the season as the North Conference Champions, not losing a single match in the conference run. Although the College Athletic Association does not support the tennis team at Lenoir Rhyne, the boys who were interested in this sport made it possible for this team to have inter-collegiate matches. Under the supervision of Pinky James and Captain Harlan Creech, the courts were kept in order, and the boys were coached in their playing. During the season two trips were taken. One was to South Carolina where Furman, Erskine and Newberry were played, Erskine being the only team which defeated the Lenoir Rhyne netters, either on their trips, or in the entire season. The Bears were not defeated in North Carolina by any other team. The second trip was to Elon, High Point and Guilford. The players on this team were: Captain Harlan Creech, William Moretz, Jack Lasley, Wig Hemphill, David Campbell and Clarence Stasavich. All of these played singles, with Campbell and Stasavich alternating. Doubles were played with Creech and Moretz as No. 1 men, and Hemphill and Lasley as No. 2 men.
