RUDISIL LIBRARY UNOIR-RHYNE COLLEGE H3 c 2- AND THEN TO AN We TAKE pleasure in presenting Volume XXX of the HACAWA. In the years to come may it be a reminder of the days at Lenoir Rhyne College when you received instruction in her HAlls, claimed her CAmpus as your home, and hurried along her WAlks to work and to play. With the increasing importance of international affairs, we should realize that in nationality we are not one, but many. The American of today is the product of all the peoples who braved the dangers of an unknown land in order to build there the land of their ideals. Every American immigrant from the first one who built a rude hut :rica THEY CAME on Roanoke Island to the last one who yesterday landed on Ellis Island came seeking a new country and a better life. For economic, political, social, religious or racial reasons they left their old homes. To the new one they brought a determination that the conditions from which they had fled would never exist in their chosen country. In the pages to follow we shall see what each of them contributed to American life of today. Contents the college + the classes ORGANIZATIONS + ATHLETICS + FEATURES DEDICATION TO Miss Margaret E. Alleman Miss Helen M. Stahler Mr. Kenneth B. Lee Members of the Music Department In appreciation of the faithful service rendered by the Music Depart- ment to the artistic, cultural and intellectual development of music students and music lovers and to the honor and fame of Lenoir Rhyne College, the Senior Class dedicates this Hacawa. In music we find both the vision and reality more than in any other art. Let us receive gladly the treasures in our midst, not pau- perizing ourselves by self-imposed deprivation. — BENHORN. THE COLLEGE A CONTRIBUTION of spirit was made by the Scotch-Irish. Since they came to the new world to escape oppression, they would allow only freedom of religion, of thought and of govern- ment in their settlements. These fearless people stood so strongly for democracy that, through their Andrew Jackson, they established for all time the principle of Let the people rule.

THE CLASSES To the new land the English brought their language, their cus- toms and their judicial system. Their laws ruled the colonies, their legal theories framed the Constitution, and their George Washington established order in the new nation. Between the old land and the new there were ties of friendship which even Revolution could not permanently sever. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Early in September of 1935 the good ship 1939 pulled up anchor for a four-year cruise on the Sea of Learning. More than a hundred passengers gathered at Lenoir Rhyne to begin that voyage. As a whole, they were very inexperienced sailors, but under the leadership of Captain J. L. Beam the first part of the cruise was completed with great success. On the second stage of the voyage, the passengers were known as Sopho- mores. For this part of the cruise Miles Whi tener was elected to pilot the group. By this time the passengers had gained confidence and experience. They were beginning to accomplish many things. Some of the passengers had been influential in the ports of Scholarship, Literary Work, Dramatics, and Athletics. Then the Ship 1939 entered into the third part of the journey. At this time the passengers became known as Juniors, and selected Marvin Cooke to be their leader. The passengers visited many ports, always adding to their store of knowledge. And then came the last part of the cruise. With Ralph Sharpe in command the ship was guided on to still greater ports. Each person on board rejoiced as he saw ahead of him the greatest of the ports and the final one of the cruise — that of Wisdom. During the four-year voyage the passengers encountered many storms, but they learned the true meaning of cooperation and friendship. They are no w ready to leave the Ship 1939, confident that the cruise has been successful. RUTH KeeveR, Historian. MASCOTS Patricia Elizabeth Bowman Patsy is the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl E. Bowman. She has long, light curls, and is a perfect embodiment of the statement that Gentle- men prefer blondes. But the ladies aren ' t jealous of her because she has captured their hearts too. GLENN WlLFONG Glenn is the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Bryan Wilfong. He is four years old and is a big he-man. He is also the dark and handsome type, with a ser- iousness that is always appealing. : ■■ ■ ' ' Km - -■ ■ WM fm ■ :■■ ' ;. ■ . ■■ ■ ;■ ■ ■■ ■ : -. ■: . - m BSSSSWS 4 y 1 TJ Wt Li-3 ' xBI HP • A : SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Ralph Sharpe President David Miller Vice-President INEZ SEAGLE Secretary LlDA Turbyfill . . .

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The buds in our garden are rapidly changing into full bloom. Already we are beginning to catch a vision of the beautiful colors which by 1940 will be at the height of their loveliness. In the fall of 1936 a happy band of gardeners, under the super- vision of Vance Daniel, began turning the soil for the harvest to be reaped in June 1940. These seeds were not sown unnoticed by Professors and upperclassmen. Their hopes and expectations of the harvest were high. The following year these overseers witnessed the arrival of many small plants sprouting from the soil. The plants grew rapidly and were carefully weeded and tended by the head gardener, Emory Carpenter. At the beginning of this year 1 938-39 a few buds began to appear. This year the gardeners chose Thomas Foard as their leader. Under his guidance and supervision the buds are now changing into full bloom. In 1 940 the completed garden will stand as a symbol of our accom- plishments and achievements, and others viewing it will see that we have made our contribution toward a better and greater Lenoir Rhyne.

Page Forty-four SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In September of 1937, we. the Class of ' 41, entered Lenoir Rhyne College as freshmen. Eager, curious, expectant, and determined, we began our first year here. Soon after our arrival, our class, led by Wilfred Hahn, felt a desire to become a real part of the school and to accomplish things. There- fore we immediately began an active participation in the school life. We supported student body activities and furnished capable material for all athletics. Many of our number won scholastic honors. We were active in extra-curricular activities. Indeed, the class tried to become an integral part of the college. The second year the Sophomore Class, with Robert Caldwell as President, has endeavored to accomplish even more. Our members have been more active than ever. This has been shown by further accomplishments in athletics, by winning new scholastic honors, and by their continued participation in extra-curricular activities. This year we gave the annual Freshman-Sophomore Party in honor of the new students. We hope that they will take our place as we move forward. With high hopes and with a strong determination the Class of ' 41 is surely marching to its goal — a better Lenoir Rhyne for everyone. Madeline Goodson, Historian.

We were frightened, as all Fresh- men have been, but even this did not dim the eagerness with which we looked forward to taking up new studies and to forming new friendships. All shyness was banished by the friendliness with which we were greeted at the Freshman Banquet. We were introduced to the Faculty, and we began to feel that there was a definite niche for us. One of the high spots of the year was the election of class officers. We feel sure that we have chos2n the most capable members of our class to lead us. Under the able direction of David Conrad we have had smooth sailing so far. Already, members of the Freshman Class are active and outstand- ing in nearly ali campus activities. We are looking forward to the next three years when we will have more opportunities to prove our worth in all activities on the campus. We, who have long looked forward to this, our first year of college, are now looking forward to our second, third, and fourth years. We hope that they will be as profitable as this has been.

Upon entering the college the Business Students were frightened as to whether they were welcome. Before long this idea was com- pletely erased from their minds. At the Freshman Banquet they were assured of a cordial welcome. Our meetings have been most successful with the able leadership of our President, James Barker, and the assistance of our Secretary- Treasurer, Carl Annas. One of our many enjoyable gatherings was the dance given in November. At our regular weekly meetings we have had interesting programs. Throughout the year the Commercial Class has been noted for its work as well as for its co-operation in extra-curricular activities. We have been able to accomplish much with the aid of our two faculty members, Professor Creech and Professor Stubbe. Soon we shall leave Lenoir Rhyne to begin our business careers. Let us take as our motto and strive toward it, the statement of Admiral Peary — I ' ll find a way or make one. OLLIE SHAULIS, Historian.

With this idea in mind, the pictures of the organizations were taken in the rooms where they meet whenever it was possible. Many of the snapshots were taken indoors where college students spend much of their time. The Editor and Business Manager wish to express their appreciation to the members of the staff who have cooperated in compiling the book, to the Faculty Committee composed of Professor Yoder, Mrs. Deal, Professor Ader- holdt and Dr. Marion, and to all who have assisted in any way. We feel that if the Student Body gives to the next staff the cooperation they have given us, the HACAWA will continue to be a very important factor in the life of every Lenoir Rhyne student.

It has been the earnest desire of the editors to give to the student body a newspaper which would be of interest and aid to them, and at the same time would reach as nearly as possible a point of technical perfection. Everything possible has been done to make the Lenoir Rhynean a newspaper of which every Lenoir Rhyne student could be proud. The future looks very bright for the Lenoir Rhynean as student interest, inspired by the journalistic forums, is increasing. Next year, with a veteran staff to assist the editor, the newspaper should rise to even greater heights in the field of college journalism. Page Seventy-six STAFF JOE DYER Managing Editor J. W.

Strong and stalwart, brave and daring, their dauntless spirit is exemplified in their Charles Lindbergh. Long after men have ceased to remember what country their ancestors came from, the contributions of those early settlers will continue to live in the American nation. COACHING STAFF R. M. Pat Shores was reinstated in the fall as head athletic coach of Lenoir Rhyne College, replacing Albert Spurlock. This is Shores ' eighth year as coach at the local institution. In football. Shores, with the aid of his newly appointed assistant Clarence Stasavich. put on the gridiron a bunch of Grizzlies who scrapped with deter- mination. The varsity basketeers beat the best — High Point College — and also lost to the best. The start of the base- ball season promised one of Lenoir Rhyne ' s greatest in years. Clarence P. Stasavich returned to his Alma Mater after three years of coach- ing at Campbell College. In football he acted as line tutor, and built up a good defensive wall. As Freshman basketball coach his team won a majority of their battles, and his Girl basketeers turned in a per- fect season ' s record. He also took over duties of tennis coach and has helped Lenoir Rhyne ' s net squad a great deal. Stasavich, when in Bear football and basketball uniforms was the best in the Conference, and his teaching by actual experience is expected to help Lenoir Rhyne athletics very much.

The season ' s record posted four victories, two deadlocks, and three defeats. The initial appearance of the Bruins was made against Roanoke at Salem, Virginia, a battle which watched two vicious elevens scrap to a 1 2 to 1 2 dead- lock. Following this well-played first game exhibition the Grizzlies topped High Point 2 7 to 6 and W. C. T. C. 40 to 0. Elon pushed over a couple tallies in the final half to nip the Shore-Stasavich crew 14 to 6. The locals finished a four-game home stand with a hard-fought 6 to decision over Guilford ' s Quakers. A jaunt to Maryville. Tenn. netted the Bears only a 12 -all score, and on the following Friday lost to Naval Apprentice 6 to in the lattcr ' s port. Lenoir Rhyne celebrated the signing of the Armistice by losing to the whiskered men from Appalachian 7 to 0. but really put on a celebration when the annual Turkey Day classic with the mighty Catawba Injuns rolled around. The Bears left them tomahawkless with a 1 4 to 7 score, as Jupiter Pluvius became abundant with his fruits. McSwain, Lockman, Sigmon, Amendola, and Little will be lost by graduation. Tucker. Persianoff. and Sigmon rated All-Conference, while James Garrett grabbed a place on the official Little Ail-American. Joseph Persianoff has been elected to captain the 1939 club, succeeding Cecil Sigmon.

Throughout the season Coach R. M. Pat Shores had the word injury on his mind. Dom Mando, All- Conference guard of the previous year, played only a short while in several games, as did Charles Brown. Clyde McSwain was unable to participate at all, while Joe Amendola watched from the sidelines during the opening games. The season ' s record gave the Bruins eleven victories and the opposition ten. In North State Conference meetings the locals won eight and lost six, finishing in second division. Freshman Chester Herdzig, the fastest moving for- ward in the Little Six circuit, was individual high scorer for Lenoir Rhyne, meshing 184 points. His point average per game was 12.3. Herb Sampsel fol- lowed the top-notcher with 156 tallies. Graduation will take a heavy toll of the basketball squad, carrying off Joe Amendola, Bill Tucker, Edgar Tuttle, Felix Little, and Clyde McSwain. William Wild Bill Tucker and Joe Stinky Amendola were Co-Captains during the past season. Dom Mando has been chosen to captain next year ' s quintet. The total points scored by the entire Bear roster were 806 to 763 for the opposition.

The green lads started off with a bang thumping Hickory High, Claremont, and Mitchell, but followed this up with a couple setbacks from Appalachian B and Boiling Springs. The youngsters closed the season in a blaze of glory, pounding the hoop for 79 points against Mitchell College, while the latter managed to get 19. The Boiling Springs battle, which ended 33 to 32 in favor of the foreign foe, was acclaimed by many as t he greatest Freshman scrap of the season. Philip Little led the scoring for the season with 66 tallies. Bolick was second with 43, and Gibson finished third with 35. The traveling squad consisted of Little, Bolick. Gibson, Evans, D. Conrad, Gurley, Intieri, M. Con- rad, and J. H. Sigmon. GIRLS ' BASKETBALL Lenoir Rhyne ' s undefeated Bearettes closed their 1939 basketball campaign with the greatest record ever achieved by a sextet wearing the red and black. Bowling over their opponents in rapid succession, the co-eds chalked up nine wins and were once tied as they scored 273 points to the oppositions 154. Coach Clarence Stasavich had complete charge of the coaching duties during the past season adding a new spirit and determination to the lassies resulting in a much improved team and high honors for the L. R. Girls. The Bearettes opened the season with victories over the Alumni, Claremont and continued their winning streak with double wins over Appalachian. Mitchell and Wingate. A 24-24 tie suffered at the hands of the Boiling Springs sextet was the only mark on the almost perfect record but the local girls secured partial revenge as they won a decisive 39-23 victory over the Shelby six in the following encounter. Captain Ruth Wright led the Lenoir Rhyne sharpshooters with a total of 115 points followed by Freda Smyre ' s 47. Margaret Sigmon and Pauline Yount scored 33 and 32 respectively. The sensational defensive work of Evelyn Barringer, Frances Wike. Inez Seagle and Daisy Dean Boggs helped to account for the majority of the wins as they held their opponents to almost half the points scored by the Lenoir Rhyne forwards.

The record shows the Bears topping eight opponents, deadlocking one, and dropping one. The local tennisters finished second to Elon in the North State Conference, losing their only tilt of the season to the Christians. In singles matches Lenoir Rhyne was victorious on 39 out of 50 tries. 13 wins, four losses, and two ties were racked up in doubles meetings. Berge Beam, number five player, chalked up the best record of any team member, winning ten matches and losing none. Wilfred Hahn, Freshman who held down the number two position, was not far behind Beam, being defeated in only one out of ten tries. Jack Mauney captained the 1938 squad and Frank Efird served as manager. Bill Primo Kennedy is the present tennis captain and Berge Beam is serving as player-manager.

It was they who, in the midst of a new wilderness, eased the rigors of living by appreciating its beauties. As other people cherished political or social ideals, the French preserved aesthetic values. They combined in their living, as Sidney Lanier did in his poetry, all the art and music of the world. oSftCrs. Annie R. % r ady Sponsor. Editor-in-Chief of HACAWA zMrs. E.
