FOREWORD The Staff of Halls. Campus. Walls, takes pleasure in presenting this, the twenty-ninth annual of Lenoir Rhyne College. Although it is different in several respects from previous volumes of the HACAWA. the staff -members have endeavored to compile a year-book truly representative of students, faculty, and college. In order to portray typical campus and college life as It actually exists, ice have made no effort to carry out an elaborate theme. It has been our motive to inculcate into this edition of the HACAWA. scenes, snapshots, and written material which you will always cherish in your memory. However, it is our hope that a purpose has been accom- plished: Blending into one volume as many of the happy college events of ' 37 - ' 38 as possible, we hope to perpetuate these happy memories, not only for the present but for the future years, when we reminisce. With this objective in mind, we present to you — who have made this book possible — the HACAWA of 1Q38. CONTENTS BOOK I The College BOOK II The Classes BOOK III Activities BOOK IV Athletics BOOK V Features BOOK VI Advertisements DEDICATION To Professor Monroe Craig Yoder A son of Lenoir Rhyne College who. from his days as editor of the Hacawa two decades ago to his present position of prominence as chief of one of our major science departments, has known and looed this college and its ideals: a true scientist, ever rendering faithful, untiring service m whatever he under- takes, and ever seeking new fields of endeavor: a man whose courage, faith, and honor have commanded for him the loyalty and admiration of everyone who has known him — to this true friend and counselor we respectfully dedicate this. The 1938 Hacawa YoDER Science Building THE COLLEGE Dr. Pleasant Edgar Monroe. President PRESIDENT MONROE ' S MESSAGE Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, forgiving one an- other, even as God for Christ ' s sake hath forgiven you. — Eph. 4:39-32.

The roads were rough at first, and some of the passengers became discouraged and homesick, but under the skillful guidance of our leader, Frank Efird, con- fidence was restored and we continued on our way. In September, 1935. we resumed the journey. Still under the capable lead- ership of Frank Efird, we gave a successful party for the incoming freshmen. This year many of the passengers of our class of ' 38 left markers along the highway for various accomplishments in athletics, journalism, music, dramatics, and forensics. Again in the Fall of 1936, we assembled for the third year of our quest for the Land of Higher Learning. The climax of this eventful year was the Junior-Senior banquet and dance, skillfully staged by the hard work of our new leader, Alton Brown. When we started from the fourth station in the Autumn of 1937 we were saddened to think that after traveling the last few miles of our journey we would have finished our journey and would then be separated forever. With B. W. Lanier as our head man. this year was notable for our athletic and scholastic achievements. And now, after reaching our goal, we realize that our quest really has only started, for we are now at the gateway of life itself. We are thankful to Lenoir Rhyne for preparing us to start on our separate roads, and to attain a definite destination in life. We shall always try to remain true to the high ideals and aspirations of our Alma Mater. Helen Hunsucker, Historian.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The good ship 1939 is now completing the third year of its voyage with sails set and banners flying. The Fall of 1935 witnessed its arrival at Lenoir Rhyne. In that year we pulled up anchor and set sail under the leadership of Captain J. L. Beam. As sophomores we felt wiser during our second year, and we kept true to our course under our new skipper. Miles Whitener. As a crew we learned the value of co-operation and friendship. As we view the sunset of our junior days, we remember the three years we have sailed together. We have fought through rough seas, at times, but our influence has been felt in every part of our college. As good sailors we have realized the value of an interest in every port and we have also learned how to scrub the decks. Now, with three years of college life behind us and our senior year before us, we continue to look ahead to the great climax of a work well done. And as our sails carry us forward, as seniors, we go with the assurance that we have the support of the entire crew. Inez Seagle, Historian.

Late in 1936, our foundation was begun under the supervision of Vance Daniel, whose guidance was augmented by a fine co-operative class spirit. This foundation, firmly laid, was given three months in which to settle, during which time we, the workers, busied our- selves in various fields of activity. Sunburned and enthusiastic, we resumed our construction in the fall of ' 37 with Emory Carpenter as job foreman. Directed by his keen vision and business ability, our class continued to progress until now we stand near the halfway mark in the completion of our edifice. Somewhat proudly we view the product of our labors and see a building of excellent scholarship reinforced with participation in many extra-curricular activities. Not always does the past offer a correct index to the future; how- ever, it is reasonable to conclude that with our ground work so sub- stantial our superstructure will be likewise. Thus we, the class of ' 40, witness the first half of our handiwork and, mingling a bit of the prophetical with the historical, proclaim that we will ever strive to progress so that our stay here will be a credit to our Alma Mater. — Carroll Miller.

At first, it may have appeared as if we possessed quantity only, but as the days have passed, we have proved we have quality as well, and we have taken part in many campus activities. As yet, most of us have no definite idea as to what fields we will enter, but under the guidance of the faculty we expect to learn this soon. Whether we will become a credit to our Alma Mater remains yet to be definitely determined, but the realiza- tion that we are students at Lenoir Rhyne College is a fact of which we are proud.

Unlike the freshmen, however, they expected to stay only one year. After attending the freshman banquet, these students felt more at home, and then started work when studies began very soon after- wards. In an election of class officers, Henry Reichard was chosen presi- dent, but left school: so the vice-president, Miss Meredith Hendrix, was given the presidency; James Craig was then elected vice-presi- dent, and Miss Laura Fox Turbyfill, secretary-treasurer. Interesting programs prepared by committees were presented at the weekly meetings, with class members furnishing most of the talent. The November dance was sponsored by the business class, carry- ing out an Autumn motif. The class also entered a float in the pep parade on Thanksgiving Day, receiving honorable mention from the judges. Early in the Spring, the students went on an all-day picnic to the mountains, for one of the outstanding events of the year. Throughout the year the business class was noted for its work as well as its constant interest in the extra-curricular activities of the other classes. Its members were always welcomed at meetings of campus organizations and were also strong boosters of all athletic events. All too soon, however, the year will end, and each member will have only his memories. Each feels, though, that with the assistance of Prof. H. L. Creech, he has accomplished much during the year; and that his business life, instead of ending, is just beginning.

With this as their ideal, the editor and the staff of Lenoir Rhyne ' s weekly newspaper sought to accomplish several major objectives in the progressive development of the publication during the past year. And in the last edition of Volume XXXIX the editor announced to the student body that These objectives have been accomplished. Vigorous editorials demanding student government reform succeeded with the ratification of an amendment to the constitution which changed the paper from the basis of the calendar year to the college year, and enabled the adoption of a budget of financial management. Soon after the ratification of the amendment the editor announced on December 17, 1937. that a standing printing debt of $420 had been paid in full. In the next edition, on January 7, 1938, The Lenoir Rhynean increased its page size to six columns, to complete the changes in make up, contents, and appearance which marked The Lenoir Rhynean throughout the year. Thus, with the adoption of a budget system, payment of the standing debt, and general enlargement and improvement. The Lenoir Rhynean during the past year has accomplished its major objectives to attain the greatest objective of all — A Greater Lenoir Rhynean for a Greater Lenoir Rhyne. STAFF GiBBS C.

Miller SipES MoRAN Spratt Lytle Lytle and Iiller — State Oratory Contestants INTERCOLLEGIATE FORENSICS The forensic season for 1936-1937 was marked like its predecessors by the high standard of achievement. The debates for both men and women were on the question Resolved , that Congress should be empowered to fix minimum wages and maximum hours for industry. For the women, Alice Moretz and Inez Seagle upheld the affirmative, while Dorothy Spratt and Annie Lytle defended the negative. As alternates served Katherine Abee. Jessie Baxter, Juanita Houser, and Ruth Hoyle. Miss Hoyle taking part in one intercollegiate non-decision debate. The men ' s teams consisted of David Miller and J. W. Moran on the affirmative and Joe Caldwell and Herman Nicholson on the negative. Altogether the teams engaged in twenty-four decision debates, of which they won fifteen and lost nine. Thirty-four non-decision debates were also held, twenty of them at the Strawberry Leaf Tournament at Winthrop College, December 3-5, 1936, two against Wake Forest, February 4, 1937, two against Roanoke, February 8. four against Lees-McRae, February 18, and two against Boiling Springs College. February 17. Both men and women entered the South Atlantic Forensic Tournament at Winthrop Col- lege, March 4-6. In the men ' s division, with twenty-two schools entered, Lenoir Rhyne tied for third place, winning eight and losing four debates, gaining second place in the state. The affirma- tive won over Maryville. Emory and Henry, Guilford. Furman, and High Point, losing only to L ' nion University, while the negative broke even, winning over Union University, Guilford, and Tusculum, but losing to Frskine, College of Charleston, and Carson-Newman, The women ' s teams tied for third place among the nine colleges with seven wins and five losses, trying for first place in North Carolina, The affirmative won over Appalachian State Teachers. Asheville Teachers, and Guilford, but lost to Maryville, Western Carolina, and Alabama College, while the negative won over Asheville Teachers, Western Carolina, Guilford, and Appalachian State Teachers, but lost to Maryville and Alabama College. For the tenth consecutive year the teams won the majority of their debates. In the seven individual contests Lenoir Rhyne won many honors.
