TABLE OF CONTENTS THE COLLEGE •:• CLASSES •:• ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS ■:• FEATURES The Senior Class of Lenoir Rhyne College dedi- cates this, the Hacawa of 1937 . to Doctor Pleasant Edgar Monroe, whom we esteem because of his quiet and modest manners, his true devotion to the highest aims in life, his fatherly advice, his sympathetic under- standing of human nature, his hearty co-operation, his earnest desire to aid all who are worthy, and his high value of honest labor which is crowned by his own administrative ability. For these and all the other noble qualities which we have found in him as he has aided us in making a life. this, our Hacawa, is dLcated ti DR. PLEASANT EDGAR MONROE President of Lenoir Rhyne College. THE COLLEGE The time elapsing between the discovery of intaglio printing and Its practical application stretched itself out over generations, for though the intaglio principle was revealed in 1452, no truly useful development came out of it until 1785, when Bell, an Englishman, patented a process for printing textiles from rollers cut in the intaglio manner. Then, more than one hundred years later, the Austrian, Karl Kleitsch. took Bell ' s textile printing machine and improved upon it by etching its rollers in accordance with the principles of halftone making which Fox Talbot had discovered in 1852. Kleitsch found that, from rollers prepared in this way, he could print strik- ingly beautiful reproductions of photographs. The next year he suc- ceeded in interesting Story Brothers of Lancaster. England, in his discovery. With their backing he established the Rembrandt Com- pany, the first commercial rotogravure plant in history, which devoted itself with great success to the reproductions of fine etchings and paintings. POPE ' S FASTIDIOUSNESS GAVE ROTOGRAVURE PRINTING Each year, with the opening of College and the coming of a new group of first year students, we often wonder how the campus life will differ from the former years. Usually we find certain boys and girls going together and certain groups organizing for various reasons but there is always a strong spirit of co-operation intermingled with a keen rivalry which adds interest. While the organizations remain almost the same from year to year, it can be easily sensed that there are mark.ed signs of progress in almost every phase of campus life. It can truly be said of the year-round program of campus life that ample time is given for development in all the major spheres of activity. FEW WORDS PERTAINING TO THE GENERAL VIEW ON CAMPUS LIFE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING M AUNE Y HALL HIGHLAND HALL YODER SCIENCE BUILDING CLINE GYMNASIUM REFECTORY THE RUSSELL HOME ST. ANDREWS CHURCH PRESIDENT MONROE ' S MESSAGE have chosen to let my message be clothed in the words of Henry Van Dyke: Forget what you have done for other people, and remember what other people have done for you. Ignore what the world owes you and think of what you owe the world. Realize that the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life, but what you are going to give to life. Close the book of complaints against the management of the universe and look around you for a place where you can sow a few seeds of happiness. Stoop down and consider the needs of little children and remember the weak- ness and loneliness of people who are growing old. Trim your light so that it Will give more light and less smoke: and carry it in front so that your shadow will fall behind you. Make a grave for your ugly thoughts and a garden for your kindly feelings, with the gate open. Page Twenty Faculty Robert L. Fritz, A,M.

William Ged, an Edinburgh jeweler, in 1725, discovered that by making an impression of a type page on a plaster of Paris mold he could cast any number of solid printing plates. Confident that he would make a fortune with his discovery, Ged went to London and formed a partnership. However, the printers, afraid that stereotyping would minimize their services, organized against him so successfully that the partnership failed and Ged, broken-hearted, returned to Edinburgh where he soon died a pauper. Years later, Ged ' s daughter revealed that her father had received generous offers from the Dutch, which he refused, for patriotic motives.

We see ourselves as freshmen, who, although inexperienced, with ceaseless efforts under the guidance of James Coates, printed our first few pages in the larger annals of Lenoir Rhyne ' s history. As Sophomores, we elected Ernest Misenheimer as Head Linotyper. We enjoyed giving the freshmen their just desserts, but soon more worthwhile matters consumed our time, and we entered new fields of activity — sports, dramatics, journalism, and debating. Fuhrer Misenheimer led the Happy Dutchmen through a jovial third year, which was climaxed by the Junior-Senior Banquet. Although we were gay and carefree, we still maintained the high standards and ideals of our college. Now, we have returned to complete the last chapter of our book with Alice Moretz supervising the remaining pages. We shall soon be ready to leave our work, which we hope has aided in the betterment of our Alma Mater. The knowledge we have gained and the friends we have made will be assets through life. Separation seems sad, for we realize that those who have been characters in our book of life will each pursue his own tasks. Our college days are pleasant memories, but Life beckons to us. As at Lenoir Rhyne, in life, we shall strive to aim upward to the heights. To our many friends, in parting, we say, Farewell. May Fortune shine upon you as . you ever devote yourselves to the Right. — Frankie Bagby. Page Forty-one Junior Class History Entering Lenoir Rhyne College in September, 1934, we were cordially welcomed. Under the supervision of a friendly faculty and the guidance of the upperclassmen, we rapidly adapted ourselves to our new environment. With Frank Efird as our capable leader, we had a successful first year. In our Sophomore year, we again elected Frank Efird to lead our class. Although some of our group di d not return, we entered all fields of activity and progressed. Alton Brown was our President in our third year. By hard work, we have made this year a most eventful one. Throughout our three years, we have tried to excel in scholarship and to contribute toward an Alma Mater to which we may always turn with pride, for we will have augmented her growth. — Lawrence Cline.

It hardly seems possible that we. the Class of ' 39, have already completed nearly half of our stay at Lenoir Rhyne College: yet, when we review the many events in which we have participated since our arrival as freshmen, we realize that this is true. These past two years have been eventful for our college, and we believe that we have had our share in making them so. In every possible field of endeavor on the campus, our members have taken an outstanding part and have made an indelible mark. We confidently hope and expect, in the next two years, to make other marks just as permanent. Our guiding star has always been — A greater Lenoir Rhyne. May we never lose sight of that star! — Frank Vander Linden.

At first we were dazed by the many opportunities offered us, and consequently, we were backward, but soon we became interested in making ourselves an integral part of Lenoir Rhyne College. Then, we freshmen took part in extra-curricula activities and at the same time showed our ability in scholarship. Early in the year we chose Vance Daniel as our President. We have tried to uphold the ideals and traditions of Lenoir Rhyne as we have understood them. Through the fine co-operative spirit of our class, we are confident that we will accomplish much that will be beneficial to Lenoir Rhyne, which we are proud to name as our College. — Josephine Moretz.

The Sophomores, of course, had their fun with us since we were newcomers, but we also enjoyed it. After a few weeks of getting acquainted, we chose our class officers, with Ray Shue as President, and each has proved himself capable. A variety of programs made each of our weekly meetings interesting. We held several social affairs and also sponsored a college dance. In all campus ac- tivities, our class was represented. Then, after a year of work and play under the guidance of Professor H. L. Creech, our competent and faithful teacher, we say, Good-bye, to Lenoir Rhyne College feeling that while here we have made worthy accomplishments. — Marie Grove.

Page Seventy-seven ACTIVITIES Had brides not worn tulle veils seventy-five years ago. there might be no newspictures. no magazine illustrations, no modern advertising today. For it was with a wedding veil that the English scientist. Fox Talbot, made the first etching which would reproduce tones. Mungo Ponton of Edinburgh discovered the light-sensitive properties of bichromate of potash. Then Talbot, experimenting with Ponton ' s findings, found that by imprinting the mesh of such a veil on a sensitized copper plate and the photographing on this plate, the developed image would be brolzen up into a composition of dots. When etched with acid, the dots acted like the cross hatchings engravers gouged into the surfaces of their plates: when inked and impressed on paper, they reprinted as shadows and high- lights. Crude as were the engravings resulting from Talbot ' s first attempts, they served to guide future investigators and with the addition of practical improvements Talbot ' s discovery came to rank with other inventions in making fine printing possible at low cost.

Misenheimer Business Manager V HE Hacawa Staff presents the twenty-eighth edition for your perusal. It is our hope that we have at least achieved our goal of giving you a book that will bring pleasant recollections of college life and that it will be one of your most prized possessions. We have tried to make the Hacawa truly representa- tive of Lenoir Rhyne; however, we realize that we have been handicapped from the beginning by a standing debt which has curtailed to a certain degree the annual. While some activities have been left out and some students have done many worthwhile things which have been omitted, we believe that a fair cross-section of the college is portrayed. Notwithstanding, we ask that as each of you read through the pages of the Hacawa to realize that none are immune from error and criticism, even those faithful few who with indefatigable efforts and self-sacrifice deserve the praise so generously bestowed upon the staff. The members of various organizations have aided the staff in its stupendous task by submitting copy which has served to simplify the work. Only with the co-operation of the entire student body can the Hacawa accomplish its pur- pose of being an index to the life upon the campus. The students must aid and work with the staff if the yearbook is to maintain the standards that have been previously established.

' he Lenoir Rhynean is the weekly newspaper published by the students of Lenoir Rhyne. Approximately a decade ago. this weekly publication made its appearance, taking the place of the old monthly magazine. The Lenoirian. which had been the official news organ since the founding of this institution. Since 1931, it has been under the direct control of the student body which elects the members of the staff. As the official mouthpiece of the college, the publication in all its efforts attempts to carry out its motto. For a Greater Lenoir Rhyne. In its columns, the members of the staff endeavor to give a true picture of the various activities related to the college which occur on the campus and elsewhere. The editorial comments express the sentiments of the staff on collegiate events and in many cases, editorials have suggested and given impetus to reform movements on the campus. For the past few years this college organ has. for the most part, been a six-page weekly with a financial statement of good standing. Its future depends upon the co-operation of the students. The Lenoir Rhynean has a definite place on the Lenoir Rhyne campus as it provides a means of expression for the student body, while off the campus, it advertises the college.

At present there are two chapters, with applications from other schools pending. The Lenoir Rhyne Chapter is designated as Alpha. There are three divisions, namely oratory, debate, and instruction. In each division there are three degrees: endeavor, honor, and distinction. Jewels on the key indicate the division and degree of each member. The Greek name represents the first letter of the Greek words meaning Truth, Skill, and Beauty. Page Ninety Intercollegiate Forensics Inez Seagle Winner.

Altogethe twenty-eight decision debates, of which they won nineteen and lost nine. Twelve also held. The men ' s teams opened the season on February 20 with a dual debate against Erskine College, of Due West, S. C, winning both contests by a decision of two to one. On February 24 the women ' s teams won a dual debate over Winthrop College, Rock Hill, S. C, by unanimous decisions. Both men and women entered the South Atlantic Forensic Tournament at Winthrop College March 5, 6. and 7. In the men ' s divi- sion, Lenoir Rhyne tied for second place with N. C. State. Morehead Teachers, and Shepherd Teachers, winning nine and losing only three contests. The affirmative won from Maryville, Charleston, Tennessee Teachers, and Waynesburg. losing only to Guilford and N. C. State, while the negative lost only to Wake Forest, defeating Morehead Teachers, High Point. Guilford, King, and Stetson University. The women ' s teams broke even. The affirmative team won over ' irginia State, Carson Newman, Ashevill Maryville, losing only to Appalachian and Winthrop. The negative team lost to Carson Newmai Virginia State, and Maryville, but won over Western Carolina and Asheville. In the seven individual speaking contests Lenoir Rhyne contestants did even better, winning seven medals out of a possible twenty-eight, with twenty-four schools represented in the tournament. In the Men ' s Extemporaneous Contest, with sixteen entrants, Robert B. Harrison won first in the South Atlantic and first in the N. C. State Contest, in Men ' s Oratory George Frederick Schott, Jr., won second place in the South Atlantic and first place in the N. C. State Contest. In the Women ' s Impromptu Contest Inez Seagle placed first for North Carolina, and second in the Extemporaneous Contest. In the N. C. Women ' s Oratorical Contest Evelyn Harris won second place. Finally, on April 24, George Frederick Schott won second place and $30 in cash in the N. C. Peace Oratorical Contest at Guilford College. Lenoir Rhyne College is considered a leader in forensic activities, a place won by hard work and fair dealing. In both oratory and debate her record compares favorably with schools much larger, and her outstanding work has won state and national recognition. In both the N. C. Peace Contest and the Women ' s Oratorical Contest she holds first place. Her forensic coach. Dr. Albert Keiser, has for ten 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 State Chairman and Executive Secretary of the N. C. Peace Association, and the Director of the South Atlantic Forensic Tournament. ALPHA PSI OMEGA The last season of Playmaking is always the best, for each new year is accompanied by some forward step. On March 29, 1936, Drama Week was introduced. This annual festival of original drama puts the Playmakers far in the lead so far as creative art is concerned. As a direct outcome of this liberal policy the organization produced at the commencement of 1936 an original three-act play, Star of Spring, by Wil- liam Wolff. In addition, the fruits of Drama Week made an imposing record at the annual dramatic festival at Chapel Hill. Shifting Sands, by Helen George, was the only one-act play entered in the secondary college field, and became the object of much favorable comment. Special mention was also given to the costume plates by Billy Morgan and a poster by Dorothy Morell. A costume designed by Leon Matlock won first place in that competition. The 1936 fall play. The Black Flamingo, by Sam Janney. was received with such acclaim that a second performance was requested. This is the first three-act play to be called back for a return engagement at the college.

Membership into the society is restricted to those who through ability, effort, and service have shown themselves eligible. The purpose of the society is to foster an interest in journalism and to improve the standard of the college publications. At the meetings of the fraternity various phases of journalism are discussed either by the members or by outside speakers. Each year the organi- zation makes several trips to the various printing and publishing houses where the members have an opportunity to observe the technical side of the work. Membership in the society is an honor which is the goal of all collegians interested in journalism. Ninety-five RELIGIOUS COUNCIL Clement Hahn : President Stella Morgan Vice-President Josephine Mauney Secretary-Treasurer In order that there might be a unified, effective, and ade- quate religious program at Lenoir Rhyne College, the officers of each religious organization meet as a council to discuss prob- lems, concerning the religious life of the students. The council elects its own officers and conducts its program for the best of the group. Each month a Student Service is conducted in the College Church and some phase of Christian work is presented by students selected by the Council. This year the Council has conducted prayer services in each dormitory, a special Refor- mation Day Service, and has laid plans for a Service Memorial, and other special activities.

Page One Hundred Two CHEMISTRY CLUB Margaret Rheineck President Nancy Carpenter Vice-President Fred Kyle Secretary -Treasurer In the spring of the year 1932, Lenoir Rhyne College saw the organization of the first scientific group of its kind on the campus. The Chemistry Club, as it was called, owes much of its rapid prog- ress and industry to its adviser and sponsor, Dr. S. J. Marion. The Club ' s main objective is to bring to the interested students a pract ical knowledge of the many intricacies of this scientific world today. Numerous subjects of various interests are discussed by promi- nent speakers, and scientific literature is reviewed frequently. An annual feature of significant interest is the bazaar and its displays; the projects are constructed by the members. Visits are made every year to places of special industrial importance and those of interest to prospective scientists. The general outline of study carried out this year has been cen- tered around the individual professions chosen by the members. Every field of science as related to the vocational world is thoroughly explored and studied. Page One Hundred Three ATHLETICS Napoleon had vowed to invade England! London was afire with excitement. Soldiers drilled in the streets. Civilians clamoured in front of newspaper offices for the latest bulletins. But there were no fresh bulletins! Events moved too fast for the slow hand presses of that day. In the seventeenth century, the third Earl of Stanhops substi- tuted iron for wood in the press frame, and this press was not radi- cally changed until the Napoleonic Wars put a premium on speed in printing. Then in 1813, Frederic h Koenig. a Saxon mechanic living in London, discovered the means of satisfying the news-starved world. He devised a mechanical flat-bed cylinder press which would print eight hundred pages an hour. Commissioned by the London Times, Koenig installed two of his new rapid printing machines in its pressroom. These became the world ' s first high speed presses . . . and laid the foundation for printing on a large scale at low cost. y[ APOLEON ' S ATTEMPT TO CONQUER ENGLAND MADE THIS BOOK POSSIBLE HEAD COACH ■■PAT SHORES Possibly no other person has worked as hard for Lenoir Rhyne as Coach Pat Shores. Despite the tough breaks of losses, discouragement, and other disappointments that go along with athletics, he encourages the teams on to victory. Ever since he has been at Lenoir Rhyne, the Bears have ranked high in the conference in every sport. During the basketball season 1936-37, he built up a team that was ranked as one of the best in the state, losing the conference through tough breaks. Lenoir Rhyne. through the ability of a splendid coach, has developed.

Under the auspices of this body four sports are sponsored, Football, Basketball, Baseball and Tennis. Every year Lenoir Rhyne places a team near the top of the conference in each sport. The Mountain Bear is the mascot of Lenoir Rhyne and all her teams are known by that name. Since the college colors are Garnet and Black these colors are used in the make-up of the athletic uniforms. Coach Pat Shores has been in charge of the Mountain Bears for five years and because of his excellent work the boys who wear the Garnet and Black always give a good account of themselves no matter who the foe or what the sport. The Head Cheerleader, Thomas Fetzer and his assistants Liunt, Wright, Bailey and Gaither have worked hard to make the Lenoir Rhyne spirit and sportsmanship what it is today. No words of praise are good enough for those men clad in the Garnet and Black who give their time, their energy and their all so that Lenoir Rhyne might rank high in the realm of sports.

Wright HEAD CHEERLEADER Thomas Fetzer Page One Hundred Seven FOOTBALL SEASON--1936 When Coach Pat Shores issued the first call for practice, only eight Icttermen. a number of inexperienced upperclassmcn and twenty freshmen greeted him. After a month ' s training the Bears faced a strong King ' s College Eleven and were defeated 26-0. The next week the Bears lost a hard-fought game to Appalachian, but came back strong the next week to defeat Duke B. Erskinc overpowered the Bears 12-0. Against the strong Naval Apprentice team the Bears displayed their best talents in both line and backfield. although the score was tied 6-6. Many Bears were injured in this game and were not able to play again until Thanks- giving. The Bears did not click again until the last game of the season with Catawba, when they outclassed the Indians for the first time in many years. The Bears won three games, tied one. and lost six. Buck Perry, co-captain and alternate captain-elect, won the trophy for the most valuable player.

In the North State Conference the Mountain Bears finished with nine victories and six losses, defeating Elon in the last two games of the season to give Catawba the final standing. Elon was holding the Con- ference title until the two return games to the Bruins, who honored their arch rival. Catawba, by giving the title to them. Outside of the conference, two brilliant games were won from Davidson and Springfield. Davidson was defeated 7-1, and Springfield 3-2. The entire team showed considerable improvement throughout the season, which was climaxed by their defeating the Elon nine the last two games of the season.

Managers and the Head Cheerleader arc also among those eligible for membership in this organization. During the year the club has set about to build a better spirit in every phase of athletics at Lenoir Rhyne. The aim is to develop true sportsmanship, better athletics, and winning teams. The reali- zation of this aim will create a spirit of cooperation among the play- ers, the coaches, the administration, and the alumni of the school. The L Club is active in the social life of the college. It has sponsored several college dances, and its members have enjoyed other social functions conducted by the organization. Each year the senior members of the Club are presented gold balls according to the sport in which they participate. Since the member- ship IS restricted to those who earn letters the Lettermen ' s Club is regarded as one of the most exclusive organizations on the campus. Page One Hundred Seventeen FEATURES Gutenberg, for his invention of movable type, can be called the father of printing, then certainly Hubert Van Eyck deserves to be known as godfather to the art. For without his secret of mixing oil and color — by which both printing inks and the pigments artists use have been made ever since — the first printers would have found it impossible to transfer the impressions of type forms to the pages of books. Five hundred or more years ago the Court of the Prince of Bur- gundy was fabulously lavish in its display of jewels and furs, velvets and precious metals. To the official painter Hubert Van Eyck. this display became an incentive to find a medium richer than the tempera colors used at that time, a medium capable of reproducing on canvas the full splendor of what he saw. This discovery became the basic formula from which were evolved the oil paints that modern artists use. f T TOOK THE ART OF THE PAINTER VAN EYCK TO MAKE THIS PAGE LEGIBLE SPONSORS Mrs. C. E.

This year the theme for May Day was the history of Lenoir Rhyne College. Miniature buildings were made and placed on the campus by students, acting as the president of the College for each period. The history was divided into four parts with each class enacting some important event of one phase of the College. Some of the outstanding events were: clearing of the ground, building of the Science Hall and giving of the gift by Daniel Efird Rhyne. Within the period of a year we see many interesting sights on the College Campus. It IS the purpose of these pictures to reveal some of the most interesting of these to the students who did not see them when they took place.
