RUD!S!LL LIBRARY LENOIR RHYNE COLLEdE DEDICATION Scholar. Pastor. Professor. Poet. Authority, and Friend. It seems incredible that one personality could imbide so many attributes and characteristics, yet be so thorough in each. Disappointment has enriched his experience and defeat, to him, is an unknown quantity. His self-confidence and sound advice make Gibralter weak by comparison. The impetus he has already lent in the interest of college spirit will create perpetual momentum. In recognition of all these things we, the Senior Class, privilege ourselves in dedicating The 19 36 HacAWA to Dr. Albert Keiser Professor of English Albert Keiser, A.M., Ph.D. OR UJORD And here is the twenty-seventh volume of the Hagawa! A treasure chest of college memories, pleasant thoughts of the college year happily spent in associating with others. Religion, edu- cation, athletics, and diversions find their places in the college annual; dull moments as well as bright ones. The Hacawa derives its name from the first two letters in each of the following words: HAlls, CAmpus, WAlks. Expressive, in- deed, of what it represents. As one turns the pages, his mind will be refreshed in the history of the Old North State. Each major division of the book portrays a development in state history, while the subdivision pages point out places of interest and leading products. To the Land of the Long-Leaf Pine we mould our 1936 Hacawa. A natural progress in each year ' s book is expected, but ours, we realize, is imperfect in some ways. However, we feel that our best efforts have been set forth. Please be lenient with us in our failings and aid the staff of next year ' s Hacawa to profit by the mistakes we have unknowingly made. May your enjoyment in reading The 1936 Hacawa be as great as ours in producing it! conT€nTS THE COLLEGE THE CLASSES MJ I V I T I E S flTH LETI CS F E PT U RE 5 r Walter Raleigh, in the year 1584, granted a charter by Good Queen Bess, sent two ships, captained by Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe, across the perilous Atlantic to America. Traveling for over seven weeks in their little sailing barks, the party sighted land — th e long sandbar that lies off the coast of North Carolina — and sailed northward into Pamlico Sound to drop anchor near Roanoke Island. - ' 3244111!!

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness: And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace: Above all. taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. — EPHESIANS 6:13-17. Page Twenty-two Faculty Robert L. Fritz, A.M. Professor of Mathematics A.

King George III oppressed the colonists who held that free men should govern themselves. In May. 1775. while blood was being shed on the battlefields of Concord and Lexington, men of Mecklenburg County met at Charlotte to declare independence many months before the rest of the country took such a step. Colony to Statehood i CLASSES I I) Kings Mountain monument Kings Mountain, N. C. SENIORS Mascots Elizabeth adrienne Huffman Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adrian C. Huffman Kenneth C. Hart. Jr. Son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth C. Hart A darling little lady who is quite grown-up. She finds delight in pre- tending and, as models for her art of acting, has chosen Shirley Temple, Ginger Rogers, and Mickey Mouse. Pictures in books fascinate her for she believes that each one tells a story. Libby ' s favorite food is spinach which should accent her ambition, to be a dancer. Here ' s a little man who loves to wash his hands. That ' s hard to believe, but nevertheless true. His wee heart leans toward Shirley Temple, and he looks to Franchot Tone for his love technique. For a boy of only two years Kenneth is very polite and well mannered at the table, even to the extent that he is yet to receive his first spanking.

Page Fifty-one PRETTIEST CHARLOTTE 6AME Senior Superlatives Page Fifty -two H Senior Superlatives Page Fifty-tbr Senior Class History k The four years that have made the perfect day of our college life have passed all too quickly. It is fitting that we pause at sunset to review our day ' s activities. It seems hardly possible that four years can have passed since the morning of our day when the one hundred and twenty-five eager, green, and wide-eyed freshmen that wc were arrived at Lenoir Rhyne. Not the least of our troubles was the group of sophomores, hovering about us with blood in their eyes. What with these and the new professors and studies we promised fair to become a bewildered bunch. However, the faculty, which proved kinder than we, at first thought, took us under its wing and helped us grow accustomed to the new surroundings. We got together and chose as our leader John Ridenhour. Under his guidance we began to show of what stuff the Class of ' 36 was made, even surpassing the doughty sophomores in some phases of our activities. In the forenoon, our sophomore year, we elected Dorus Huss as our presi- dent, continuing under his leadership the many worthwhile things we had begun as freshmen. Members of the class became playmakers, orators, debaters, and athletes. We upheld all the sophomore traditions, making the poor fresh- men as miserable as we had been the year before. However, we soon tired of this sport and turned attention to more serious matters as our record shows. The high noon of our day we began under the guiding hand of Red Mauney. Our college life was at its height. Gay and carefree, we well deserved our name of Jolly Juniors, still maintaining the high standards and ideals of our class. Near the close of the year we all became pirates and gladdened the heavy hearts of the senior with a rollicking banquet. This was the highlight of our already eventful year. The sun has passed its zenith and our day is drawing near its close. Under the capable leadership of Gene White we are endeavoring to make the last few hours left to us the brightest of all. The close of the day. however, will not mark the end for us, for although we leave our beloved college, we venture forth into our life as full-fledged citizens. We carry with us many pleasant memories of Lenoir Rhyne and look forward to the dawn of the new day holding her ideals and aspirations high in our hearts and seeking, through our lives, to embody the spirit of her being — The Truth shall make you free. So with the glory of the sunse t, kindling in our hearts bright hopes for the morrow, we come to the end of a perfect day. — Melba Ynez Yount.

Some have dropped out along the way while others have joined our deserving group. During the first year, with James Coates our leader, we were able to make headway into what seemed an impene- trable wilderness. As Sophomores, we pursued our course with Ernest Misenheimer in the lead. Our members participated in the various activities — journalism, music, dra- matics, debating, and athletics — and college became of deeper significance. Our capable leader was chosen to continue during the third year, a year which has been successful and pleasant. Always the Junior Class has essayed to do our part for the making of a better Lenoir Rhyne by starting each task with a spirit of cooperation and determination. To the Seniors we say, Farewell. We wish for them a happy life. To the underclassmen we extend the challenge of making a greater Lenoir Rhyne. an Alma Mater which we shall ever be proud to laud. — Thelma Rollins. Historian.

' President Helen Hunsucker Vice-President Lois Morgan Secretary -Treasurer Stella Morgan Historian History The bugle was blown and the entrance to Lenoir Rhyne College was opened to us, an army of one hundred young men and women. We were cordially welcomed by our friendly superiors who entertained us at a reception. At first we were rather nervous, but that did not last long. Soon we learned that the battles we were to encounter were difficult. When we began to realize that our tasks were not easy, we merely put on our uniforms of optimism, lifted our heads and shoulders, and marched onward. It was no t until December that we organized our Autumn Corporal, elected Frank Efird for the leader. We called our group the Autumn Corporal because we were like the leaves of Autumn, not without color. In every activity we displayed the qualities of sportmanship and leadership. In the fall of 1935 we resumed our places, not as Corporals, but as Lieuten- ants. Many of our regiment did not return: however, we were glad to welcome a new Corporal, the Freshman Class. Again, under the leadership of Frank Efird, we fought every obstacle and succeeded in our battles. As Lieutenants, we were delighted to show the Corporals their rules and regulations. It was during that jolly part of the year that we entertained our subjects at a party. Before we finish we shall endeavor to conquer all obstacles, to achieve a high standard in scholarship, to make a good record in athletics, and to live the life of a true soldier for Lenoir Rhyne College. — Stella Morgan, Historian.

All in all, we have so far, we believe, made a record that would be a credit to any freshman class. Some of our members have made good marks in scholar- ship, others in athletics: many have entered literary work, dramatics, oratory, debating, and other extra curricular activities, coming into the limelight on many occasions. Maybe we ' re wrong in feeling as we do, but really we believe that we shall, in years to come, be a credit to Lenoir Rhyne College, Page Seoi-nly-six Abee Bame Boyd Ali-irnmthy Bailey Brown Aiken Beam Burns Alexander Bettis Caldwell ASBURY Bostian Call Freshmen KATHRYN Abee Hickory.

Newcomers? Yes, but not exactly freshmen. However, wc all were invited to the Freshman Banquet and began our social events. The time wasn ' t long before the Sophomores let us know that college was not all banquets and we began to take orders: first, from this one; then, that. After we had tried to be obedient, the upperclassmen decided it was time for us to transact our own affairs so we elected officers to do the important thinking. Under the leadership of Pete Broome we have held interesting class meetings. There was fun, too, especially at the class reception conducted as a marshmallow roast. Again the Sophomore Class was gracious to us for, this time, we were enter- tained, along with the freshmen, at the Country Club on December 11, 1935. The members of the Commercial Class have become active in other campus events too. It seems that no sooner do we arrive than it is time to leave. It is not the end. No! It is the beginning! We are no longer children — we are men and women, entering into a world of business that we could never have reached without the fatherly interest and assistance of Professor H, L, Creech. — Elizabeth Ridenhour, Historian.

For the twenty-seventh time it makes its appearance on the campus, marking another milestone in yearbook development. From year to year new features are added and the complexion of the book is changed, but always the purpose is the same, to reflect — to reflect collegiate activities which have passed on. During the past year, although The Hacawa is a student publication, the administration has brought it under a direct control of the faculty. A committee composed of Professor M. C. Yoder, chairman, and Professor V. V. Aderholdt and the HACAWA management have met to discuss the problems of publication, and the result of the work accomplished is resting at your fingertips. To assemble all the material which makes up the annual is, we believe, an intricate task which is made easier when the students are behind the staff, as they have been behind the staff of The 1936 HacaWA.

Since 1931 it has been under the direct control of the student body which elects the members of the staff. Through its columns the staff tries to carry out the motto of the publication, ' Tor a Greater Lenoir Rhyne. This year the staff has enjoyed the cooperation of the members of the student body in its efforts to publish a paper appreciated and enjoyed by its readers. The publi- cation is out of debt for the first time in years. The college weekly is a permanent record of the activities of the student body. It contains news of every department of college life. This year the staff was departmentalized and an editor with a group of reporters placed in charge of each unit. This organization resulted in more cooperation and in- terest and contributed toward a better Lenoir Rhynean. A literary section con- taining work of Lenoir Rhyne students along literary lines became a weekly feature. This publication is the mouthpiece of Lenoir Rhyne College. It provides a means of expression for the student body. It serves as an advertisement of the college. Page One Hundred Four Efird SlMM...N CON-RAU VaXDFrI,!

Cobb President Melba YounT Vice-President Mary Grace Benfield Secretary-Treasurer Dr. Albert Keiser Faculty Adviser One of the goals toward which the student interested in forensic activities may strive is membership in an honor forensic fraternity. Alpha Tau Kappa was organized on May 3, 1934 under the leadership of Dr. Albert Keiser, Head of the English Department and Professor of Public Speaking at Lenoir Rhyne. In addition to its local prominence the fraternity has influenced other colleges to apply for charters. At present there are two chapters of the Alpha Tau Kappa Forensic Fraternity with the local chapter, known as the North Carolina Alpha, maintaining its position as the original member. The purpose of Alpha Tau Kappa is to promote and maintain a high standard of excellence in intercollegiate forensics. to foster a fraternal spirit among the participants, and to confer upon them the badge as the symbol of their endeavor. There are three fields of division, namely, oratory, debating, and instruc- tion. In each field are conferred three degrees: endeavor, honor, and distinc- tion. Jewels on the key indicate the division and degree of each member. The Greek name represents the first letters of the Greek words meaning Truth, Skill and Beauty, respectively.

The debates for both men and women were on the question: Resolved, that the nations should agree to prevent the international shipment of arms and munitions. For the women, Mary Grace Bcnfield and Frances Kipps upheld the affirmative, with Juanita Houser serving as alternate. Lucy Thompson and Melba Yount defended the negative. The men ' s teams consisted of J. W. Cobb and Julian Holmes, affirmative, with Voigt Sink and Dwight Conrad as alter- nates, and Robert B.

It makes possible a wider range of development and provides fields for a variety of talent. Not everyone is qualified to become an aspiring playmaker. for that title is exclusive in being rightfully given to those who possess rank. Heretofore, playmaking has been limited to juniors and seniors, but in ' 34-35 a new group, the Junior Playmakers, was organized for the advantage of the underclassmen. By dent of time and labor, they are eligible to become members of the Senior Playmakers and finally the Alpha Psi Omega dramatic fraternity. The one best fitted to lead these aspirants toward worthy accomplishment in this work and play is Mrs. Pearl Setzer Deal who takes the most undetermined, undeveloped person and brings forth a side of him which he had scarcely been conscious of possessing. At Chapel Hill in the spring of ' 3 5 the Playmakers presented in the Original Play Contest The Strange House. by Leon Matlock, and for the Production Contest The Land of Heart ' s Desire, by W. B. Yates. The annual May Day pageant, which was beautifully executed and merited such praise, was presented on the campus. The spring play was The Charm School. a three-act comedy. At Commencement Leon Matlock received the Helen Norman Trower Award for writing The Strange House. the best original play. Robert Shelby won recognition for his religious play, Undying Fires. During the summer the Playmakers presented at Blue Ridge three one-act plays: Thursday Evening. Neighbors, The Tea-Pot on the Rocks. During this time Mrs. Deal conducted her own pageant at the Lincolnton Centennial. The one-act plays presented on the campus in the fall of ' 35 were The Exchange, The March Heir, The Rector, A Wedding. Are Men Superior? . Far Away Princess. Trysting Place, and Politics Pays. The Fall Play was Icebound. by Owen Davis, winner of the Pulitzer prize in ' 35. It was presented at the Hickory High School Auditorium and again at Conover. Many tours were made throughout the state with Skidding and The Charm School. The former was given at Kannapolis (matinee and evening), Morganton, Marion, and Mountain View, while the latter attracted gratifying audiences at Gastonia. Statesville.

Dr. Karl Z. Morgan is an adviser and honorary member of the Rhynoir Society. His advice and work have been invaluable. Page One Hundred Eighteen International Relations Club OFFICERS Robert B. Harrison President Richard GreinER Secretary Professor V. V. Aderholdt Faculty Adviser The International Relations Club of Lenoir Rhyne College was organized October 17, 1935 under the direction of Dr. Albert Keiser and Professor V. V. Aderholdt. From the beginning there has been considerable interest in the club and its work. Now it is one of the largest organizations on the campus. During the year discussions on current topics have been conducted. The work of the International Relations Clubs throughout the nation has been well expressed by the President of Columbia University: The purpose of the Carnegie Endowment in undertaking this work of the International Relations Clubs is to instruct and to enlighten public opinion. It is not to support exclusively any one view as to how best to treat the conditions which now prevail throughout the world, but to fix the attention of students on those underlying principles of international conduct, of international law, and of international organization which must be agreed upon and put into action if a peaceful civilization is to continue. Page One Hundred Nineteen 5 N 36 Ladies ' Bible Class The Ladies ' Bible Class is open to all young women who reside on or near the campus. Every Sunday this group meets, not only to learn more of Christ and his teachings, but also to discuss the vital problems which confront young women of college age. Feeling themselves an active part of the College Sunday School, the young women are united in a splendid spirit of eagerness to improve themselves and to portray examples of Christianity to whomever they meet. Worthwhile accomplishments have been made during the year, and the influence of the Ladies ' Bible Class is felt both on and off the campus. Page One Hundred Twenty Men ' s Bible Class OFFICERS J. W. Cobb President Clement Hahn Vice-President Harold Ritchie Secretary-Treasurer The Men ' s Bible Class division of the college Sunday School consists of the dormitory boys and all other male students residing near the college campus. A very fine spirit has been manifested on the part of the young men, both in attendance and cooperation. Closer fellowship with each other and a closer life with Christ is the objective of the class. The class was fortunate during the past year in having for the teachers Dr. F. Grover Morgan. Professor of Bible, and Professor V. V. Aderholdt, Head of the Department of History.

Demosthenian Literary Society OFFICERS Dixon Lawrence President Clement Hahn Vice-President Lena Sink Secretary -Treasurer Thelma Rollins Critic Dr. Albert Keiser Faculty Adviser College extra-curricular activities would hardly be complete without an organization, conducted in conjunction with the Department of English, for the advancement of self-expression. Students of all classes are invited to mem- bership in the organization, for one ' s success depends largely upon his ability to make himself understood among others. Programs are arranged and consist of speeches, orations, recitations and readings, and debates in which all the members, at some time during the year, have an active part. The Demosthenian Literary Society is highly recognized on the campus for its dignity and accomplishment, not to mention its cultural development. Dr. Albert Keiser. Professor of English, is the foundation upon which the society has built. He has given graciously of his time and experience to advance the literary organization to be a potent factor in the aggressiveness of Lenoir Rhyne College. Page One Hundred Twenty-two Luther League OFFICERS Clement Hahn President Stella Morgan Vice-President Lena Sink Secretary-Treasurer The Luther League of Lenoir Rhyne College is one of the leading religious organizations on the campus. It has a number of active members who are seeking opportunties for leadership and Christian training. The League welcomes all young men and women on the campus. It seeks to direct rhe thought of the students to the service of the Church, both as a vocation and avocation. The League aims to quicken in its members a clearer consciousness of Christian faith, to foster in each member a spirit of loyalty to his own church, to increase the member ' s usefulness as one of its workers, and to help each member to be a true witness for Christ. The Luther League is a training school for leadership in the Church. It is an expression of the desire for youth to develop spiritual lives, increase efficiency, and render service in extending the Kingdom of God in the world. Our youth satisfies its needs for self-imposed objectives while doing vast service for Christ and His Church, and practices self-determination for wide leadership in the next generation. The programs are an inspiration to greater and nobler things. The League supports the stare Luther League and members pledge toward the advancement of the National Luther League. Social programs are arranged to provide wholesome Christian amusement. To accomplish its end the Luther League stands by the motto, Of the Church, by the Church, and for the Church. Page One Hundred Twenty-three M- A Capella Choir OFFICERS Cline Harbinson President Frederick Schott Vice-President Nell Life Secretary -Treasurer Professor Kenneth B. Lee Director For a singing organization in its first year under a new director, the Lenoir Rhyne College A Capella Choir has attained incredible recognition. Professor Lee, recently appointed to the head of the Music Department, a member of the St. Olaf ' s Choir, internationally renowned, has developed a choir of unusual beauty and finesse. During the year the organization has presented programs in the various churches of Hickory and has made several trips to appear in other sections of the state. The result has been a pleasing one in that great tribute is paid to both the choir and its talented director. Page One Hundred Twenty-four Chemistry Club OFFICERS K. P. Efird. Jr President Hubert Aderholdt Vice-President Peggy Rheineck Secretary-Treasurer Dr. S. J. Marion Faculty Adviser The Lenoir Rhyne Chemistry Club was organized in the spring of 1932, and since then has been progressing rapidly. The purpose of the organization is to further the students ' practical knowledge of chemistry and the various fields of the science. Its relation to the several industries, pharmacy, medicine, and other important professions are the topics generally discussed by the guest speaker. Meetings are held regularly twice a month in the chemistry classroom. Membership in the club is restricted to those taking or who have had two years of chemistry. This year ' s program included the sponsoring of entertainments, such as plays and picture shows, instead of holding a bazaar in the spring as has been the custom in previous years. The profits from such enterprises are used in visiting places of special interest. Under the sound leadership of Dr. S. J. Marion the Chemistry Club has become one of the outstanding features on the campus. Page One Hundred Twenty-five Diakonian Club OFFICERS DWIGHT Conrad ■ President Harold Ritchie Vice-President Ernest MisenHEIMER Secretary-Treasurer As its name implies, the purpose of the Diakonian Club is to arouse in the young men an interest in the service for the Master. Many of the members of this organization are pre-theological students but membership is open to all college men who are deeply interested in religious work. The club holds regular weekly meetings on Wednesdays. Inspiring programs are presented by the Diakonians and many times noted speakers are featured at the meetings. Several times during the year programs are conducted in the various churches of the community, at the county jail, and wherever the Diakonians feel they can be of service. The Diakonian Club does not neglect the social side of college life for it sponsors parties, hikes, and other social fun ctions throughout the year. Active and helpful, the club is well received on the campus and the mem- bers are always ready to serve when they are needed. Page One Hundred Twenty-six Lettermen ' s Club OFFICERS J. S. BUMGARNER President DORUS HUSS Vice-President Harold Ritchie Secretary-Treasurer The Lettermen ' s Club is made up of men who have earned the right to wear the L. To receive this award an athlete must participate in a varsity sport acquiring a set amount of actual playing time. To wear the L requires a student passing work, else the right will be forfeited. Managers are also awarded the L and membership in the club. During the year the club has set about to build up a better spirit and a better club so that every student will be desirous of becoming a member. The aim of the club is to develop true sportsmanship, better athletes, and winning teams which will create a spirit of cooperation among the players, the coaches, the administration, and the alumni of the school. The club during the last year has been active for, in addition to their regular weekly meetings, it has sponsored two college dances. Each of the members has promised his utmost to replace seniors with new athletes at the beginning of the next year. Page One Hundred Twenty-seven The people of the South believed that the Constitution allowed slavery and thought it their right to own slaves if they chose to do so. This difference in opinion was to end only with the great Civil War. The army of the Confederacy, under the beloved and incomparable Robert E.

Guard FOOTBALL SEASON OF 193 5 When Cuach Slloies callucl out the footl-iall candidates early in September, twelve letternien, a few reserves and scrubs of last year, and a number of prospective freshmen greeted him. True, quite a few of the stars from the previous years were missing but the veteran list insured a formidable team. The first game was played at night with the strong Appalachian State team — and what a gamel Neither team, however, was leady for such strong opposition and, after furnishing the large crowd of fans with a thrill-packed exhibition of early-season ball, both clubs left the field content with a scoreless tie. Bumgarner saved the game early in the first quarter with a timely tackle from the rear following a great chase of a free runner. On October 3, the Bears journeyed to Cullowhee and easily downed the Western Carolina Teachers 21-7. The entire team played a fine brand of ball with Sigmon, Buck iVIauney and R. Brown making the touchdowns. In the first night game away from home Lenoir Rhyne dropped a heart-breaker to Marvville, 2-0. The scoring, a safety, was very doubtful and caused considerable comment. The great punting of the Ataryville team kept our Bears at bay throughout most of the game. The only chance either team had of making a touchdown was repulsed when Maryville held on her own two- yard line. The next home game was with the Duke University B team, and the Red and Black had a field dav, romping over the Junior Blue Devils by 19-7. The Bears showed exceptional training, drive, spirit, in fact everything needed for a gooil club. Two of the scores were made on sustained drives of 86 and 65 yards. Buck Mauney made two tallies and Ward, one. Continuing the newly-found spirit, the team flogged Xaval Apprentice, 27 -1 , at Newport News. A veritable aerial circus was displayed by our iioys when they passed to gain nearly ,?0n yards netting all four scores on passes. Perry, B, Mauney and Amendola did the chucking with Bumgarner, Icard, B. Mauney, and Ward doing most of the receiving. B. Mauney again scored twice, Icard and Bumgarner scoring once each. Back on the home field, the Bears outplayed and defeated a stubborn Guilford team, 14-6. Ward featured with his brilliant runs from scrimmage and scored one of the touchdowns. The other score was made on a long pass from Mauney to Bumgarner. Guilford sCored in the last few seconds of play on a blocked kick. Turning to day ball altogether the Bears could not stop the hard driving of the strong Elon team and were defeated 20-0 for the worst licking at home in five years. Failure to score from the three-yard line early in the game seemed to dishearten the boys, and the Christians steamroUed on to victory. Bud Geitner was outstanding on the Grizzlies ' defense. On a sloppy field of sticky, red mud made worse by all-day rains, our Bears dropped another, this time to Carson-Newman at Jefferson City, Tennessee. The game was rather evenly played throughout with the exception of two Bear fumbles near their own goal line. Two tallies and the score, 14-0. resulted. For the all-important game with our arch rivals, Catawba, we were again faced with a had weather situation. After yielding a score early in the first quarter brought about through a bad L.

Three times in the second half we were on the threshold of touchdowns but were unable to shove the ball across. Twice Bear backs were in the open with clear fields ahead but could not hold to their feet. The early Catawba score was enough and the great struggle ended 7 to 0. With four wins, four losses and one tie we ended up even-Stephen for the season and copped second or third place in the conference, depending upon the way you decide the Elon eligibility case. After going great until November, our boys were sorely handicapped by injuries and by the fact that the toughest teams were encountered from then on. Buck Mauney led the Mountain Bear scoring with 31 points. Captain Sanders was very adept at kicking off and converting extra points. J. S. Bumgarner was men- tioned for Little All- America end. and Sanders, Geitner and Bumgarner were placed on the all-conference eleven. r Football Squad, 1935 Football Scores Lenoir Rhyne Lenoir Rhyne 21 Lenoir Rhyne Lenoir Rhyne 19 Lenoir Rhyne 27 Lenoir Rhyne 14 Lenoir Rhyne Lenoir Rhyne Lenoir Rhyne Appalachian W.

McSwAiN Forward R. McSwAix Center and Forzvard Boys ' Basketball, 1935-1936 The basketball season of 1935-36 has been one of the best which Lenoir Rhyne teams have had in many, many years. At the start of the training season in December, Coach Pat Shores looked over the varsity candidates and sadly shook his head. Only one part-time regular and three subs were available from last year ' s good club. Fortunately, the best crop of freshmen basketeers in several years had matriculated in the fall. As the season wore on and the young team gained experience and confidence, we could see that the Bears would have a top-notch club before the schedule was completed. Losing three conference games, all in extra periods, kept our kid five from upsetting all the dope buckets and grabbing the conference title. At that, the boys stayed in the race until the last week and proudly finished up in second place with the fine record of ten wins and four losses. Rip McSwain, the lone veteran, and Tucker, Ward. Little, and Amendola. all newcomers, formed the starting five in most of the games. Freshman Ed Tuttle filled in admirably the last two weeks of the season while Lanier, C. McSwain, Deal, Sigmon, and Sanders were strong relief men. Elon, last year ' s champs, Catawba, Appalachian, and Western Carolina, each was defeated twice, and we broke even in two games with Davidson. The Page One Hundred Thirty-eight SiGMON Guard Bears have been seeded Number 2 team in the North State Confer- ence Tournament at High Point and are given a good chance of winning out. Rip McSwain and Bill Tucker made the All-Conference first team while Felix Little was rated on the second. The Junior Varsity, featuring D. C. Beal, Charlie Tuttle and Fred Kilpatrick, did not lose a game of the four played and furn- ished neat opposition daily for the varsity. Good sea sons are ahead for Lenoir Rhyne with the new players showing such marked abil- ity so early.

This year ' s team has been hard pressed for sufficient material with which to build a steady club, however, as this copy goes to press, the girls have won two games and lost two games, defeating Mitchell in two encounters and losing to both Appalachian and Boiling Springs . Each of these two losses was to a team which had the advantage over the Lenoir Rhyne lassies in height and weight. The forward positions on the starting team were held by Mary Lee Wright and Ruth Wright, with Margaret Sigmon and Frances Wike alternating at the pivot position. The playing of Marguerite Briles at guard was assisted by Inez Seaglc and Frances Wike. The relief combination at forward was com- posed of Pauline Yount and Helen Misenheimer, while the substitute guards were Helen Foard, Stella Morgan, and Frances Shuford. The teamwork of the Wright girls was doubtlessly an outstanding feature of the season. Graduation will have little effect upon the team in that Mary Lee Wright will be the only player lost.

In the North State Conference Lenoir Rhyne finished with ten victories, five losses, and one tie with only the champion outfit, Elon, being ahead of the Grizzlies in the final standings. The arch rival, Catawba, was downed handily in all three games played and Guilford lost a like number to us. Outside the conference a brilliant game was won from David- son, 3-2, and we were downed by North Carolina State when they rallied in the eighth inning to overcome our early lead. All told we finished with eleven victories, seven defeats, and one tie game. The pitching staff and one infield post were a bit weak, but the entire team made up for this with a healthy hitting average of .314.

Although not playing the full season, Rex Reynolds with .423 and Dave Sigmon with .421 were the percentage leaders in hitting. Lindsay Deal, captain, played fine ball and joined Knoxville in the Southern League after graduation. He was subsequently sold to the Boston Red Sox Club of the American League. J. S. Bumgarner, Jr., of Hick- ory was chosen to lead the 1936 team. Pitching laurels of the Bears were shared by George Huffman and Charles Tuttle. Fourteen lettermen have re- turned this season and the 1936 Mountain Bear baseball team should prosper. J Bl M( RNER 1 1 11 1 Fuld (Captain) Tuttle Pitcher (Alt.

The 193 5 Champions were captained by Bill Moretz, star number 1 player. Below Moretz in order of ranking were Manager Dick Lawrence, Dave Camp- bell, Charles Crane, and Wilford Lyerly. Of these five men Captain-elect Lawrence is the only one back in school this year. Prospects for a winning team in 1936 are good. Ernest Misenheimer, letterman in 1934 and Manager-elect: Jack Huss, squad member in 1935: Bill Kennedy: and Charles Morrison are the candidates for the team of the current season.

Carpetbaggers from the North and Scalawags from the South united to plunge the seceded states into chaos. Terror, disease, and starva- tion spread throughout the southern states, but the people of the South rose to combat them and heal the wounds of their fellowmen.

North Carolina has grown and prospered. Corporations have risen and agriculture has come to the fore- ground. The state is now a leader in tobacco production and ranks high in raising cotton, the two outstanding products of the South. As she looks toward the future, the Old North State will continue to stand by the principles upon which she has expanded. .r .- -- ' m.., ., st-€ . : ' - .44 H Recent Years ADVERTISEMENTS ( LENOIR RHYNE COLLEGE Welcomes You to 1936-1937 Session Inexpensive Co-Educational Church Supported LENOIR RHYNE COLLEGE, CONFERRING A.B.
