' PRESENTING v ' ANNUAL PUBLICATION OP THE SENIOR CIASS 0! IF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY ENOIR RHYNE HICKORY, N. C, CARL A. RUDlSiLL LIBRARY LENOIR RHYNE COLLEGE TO THE STUDENTS It is With genuine pleasure that we. the staff of the 1940 edition of HALLS, CaMPUS. Walls. present the thirty- first annual of Lenoir Rhyne College. In compiling this year-book we have departed rather widely from the traditional standards set up in the Hacawa of past years, endeavoring throughout to make it a book truly representative of the students, faculty, and activities of Lenoir Rhyne. The theme, a pictorial and verbal review of the college year 1939-40. is neither elaborate nor formal. We hope that in carrying out this motif the Hacawa will give to you. the student body of our college, pleasure both now and in years to come. And now. having expressed our objectives, we proudly present to you who have made it possible — the Hacawa of 1940.

V cW-- CLASS OF 1940 OFFICERS MelVIN Gantt President Cecil Carpenter ' Vice-President Addie Locke Secretary Carroll Miller Treasurer Helen Byerly Historian CLASS HISTORY It was September 19 6, when, wc. the Class of ' 40, first assembled on the campus of Lenoir Rhyne College, prepared for a four-year flight through the realm of Education. With Vance Daniel at the con- trols our plane took off, and though we had many forebodings as we winged into space, our pilot guided us safely over the initial lap of our journey. After a short vacation we returned again to our plane, this time with Emory Carpenter directing our course. By this time we were veteran travelers, and we settled into the routine of flight with far more ease and confidence. When the plane settled to earth late in May our journey was half over, and we again dispersed for a short breathing spell. As Autumn approached wc returned to our meet- ing place, there to place Tom Foard in command of our Ship of Learning. All too quickly this phase of our flight was completed, and we glided to a smooth three-point landing, only the last lap of our well- charted course remaining ahead of us. Faith, Hope, and Courage, respectively, had been ■our watchwords before, but for this, the final hop, it was Confidence. With Melvin Gantt as our pilot we are even now circling Graduation Field, and, though the thrill of accomplishment flows like heady wine through our veins, a pang of nostalgia occasion- ally grips our hearts. For four unforgettable years we are grateful to Lenoir Rhyne College. Helen Byerly. Hi tonan. ■s nnn nBBHB SENIORS James R. Alexander KANNAPOLIS. N. C. A.B.

Three years have passed swiftly and eventfully. and when we return in September we will be the Senior Class of Lenoir Rhyne College. When we review the eventful history of our past three years, we feel that our class has accom- plished a great deal. Under the capable and enthusiastic leadership of our three presidents. Wilfred Hahn. Bob Caldwell, and Curtis More- head, members of the class have taken an out- standing part in such activities as debating, journalism, athletics, and dramatics, as well as attaining high marks in scholarship. As coming events cast their shadows before them, so do the achievements of the class indicate that this Semi-Centennial class will be a credit to Lenoir Rhyne College. Suzanne Vandor Linden.

Page Thiny-three CLASS OF 1942 OFFICERS Karl BargeR President Mike Gibson Vice-President Nancy Broome Secretary Ralph Gurley Treasurer Edith Ridenhour Historian CLASS HISTORY Early in September 1938, as we. the incoming freshman class, took our first steps upon the soil of Lenoir Rhyne College, we experienced emotions of varied joy and sorrow. Looking back we knew that our high school days were over, but as we looked forward down the vista of the future, bright visions danced before our eyes — things to be accomplished — things that had never been done before. But first the belt line, bane of freshmen boys, had to be met. con- quered, and left to be, or not to be. forgotten. ' Twas done, and under the competent guidance of President David Conrad, the Class of ' 42 started moving on to triumph. As we grew more accustomed to life on the campus of our chosen Alma Mater, we began to avail ourselves of the manifold opportunities available to us as students at Lenoir Rhync. As a result, many scholastic, athletic, and extra-curricular honors were achieved. At the close of this first happy year the Class of ' 42 was clicking like a well-oiled machine, and we were anxious to enter into other fields of glory as sophomores. Our sophomore year began most auspiciously with the election of Karl Barger as class president. The major project of the year was the Freshman-Sopho- more Party, and we sold red caps with a will to the new freshman class. The year has been a happy and successful one. and we look forward with a light heart to the next one. Years will continue to roll by. but the friendships and pleasures of these two enlightening years will live on in our book of memories. Edith Ridenhour. Historian.

Like all freshies our first Jay Shepherd Vice-President few days in college were filled with multiple Catherine RicHTER Secretary mistakes and a resultant desire to be back in the Paul Monroe Treasurer good-ole-days when, as Seniors, we were the Daisy Dean Mines Historian all-important. C] AS ' HT ' TnRY However, we quickly learned to accept good- naturedly the pranks and jokes played on us by ( ollege. Q jj. upper-classmates, who, with their ready With high school behind us and with an cooperation and fellowship, soon dispelled any uncertain future before us. college life presented doubts that we may have had concerning col- lege life. In a short time we were regarding our- selves as an integral part of Lenoir Rhync College. We began our college career by setting up a goal toward which we should work during the next four years. This goal was to be a class worthy of our chosen Alma Mater and of her Christian ideals. With this aim in mind we chose as our class colors blue and white, which together stand for honor, purity, and dependability. Under the leadership of our class officers, headed by President Hugh Baumgartner. the Freshman Class has become outstanding at Lenoir Rhyne because of its enthusiastic partici- pation in the college activities. Already many of the members of our class have shown their capacity for leadership in the various phases of college life. Therefore, with our goal clearly in view, and with high courage and hopeful anti cipation for the future, the Class of ' 43, in its first year, has striven to become an integral part of the spiritual, social, and educational Lenoir Rhyne.

Page Forty-five BUSINESS CLASS OFFICERS George Davis President Elizabeth Cobb Vice-President Ruth KingsoLVER Secretary-Treasurer HORTENSE BOSTIAN Historian CLASS HISTORY The Commercial Class, althougl ) the smallest on the campus, has been tar from insignificant in the part it has played at Lenoir Rhyne m the school year 1939-1940. As are most first-year students, we were a little shy. and perhaps just a little frightened when first we came to Lenoir Rhyne. However, when we came to realize that we were an essential part of the college, these doubts were dispelled from our minds and we settled down to enjoy a year of pleasure and accom- plishment. George Davis was elected as president of our class, and under his able leadership we have accomplished a great deal while here. Students of the class have taken part in many extra-curricular activities, and have shown ready cooperation with all agencies of the college. The year has been a pleasant one. and we feel that we have been fitted for careers in the business world. Looking confidently toward the future, we feel a fleeting sadness when we are faced with the realiza- tion that our days as students of Lenoir Rhyne College are now almost over. HORTENSE BOSTIAN.

Editor-in-Chief Business Manager The completion of the 1940 Hacawa al- most marks the end of another year of progress for Lenoir Rhyne College, the last of four happy and eventful years for many of the staff members. In compiling this, the thirty-first annual of our school, we have striven to give an accurate and colorful account of the school year 1939- 40. In doing so we have departed from the stereotyped form for yearbooks, attempting to produce variation in style, material, and appearance. It is only through your cooperation that the publication of the HacAWA has been made possible.

Page Eighty-three COACHING STAFF Since he came to Lenoir Rhyne as head coach nine years ago R. iVI. Pat Shores has been one of the most familiar and best Hked figures on our campus.

This year Coaches Shores and Stasavich put a power- ful football team on the gridiron, sharing the loop championship with Appalachian. A dearth of material resulted in a rather poor season in basketball, but the baseball team is again a contender for the championship. Clarence P. Stasavich. one of the greatest athletes ever to gradu ate from Lenoir Rhyne. returned to his Alma Mater last year, and has done much toward advancement of athletics at this institution- Serving as line coach in football, he built up what was unques- tionably the most powerful forward wall in the conference.

IIur BASKETBALL The basketball team, weakened by the graduation of such hardwood greats as Felix Little, Joe Amendola, and Bill Tucker, and the failure of Chester Herdzig to return to school, had one of the most disastrous seasons in many years. If the score book recorded the courage of a team, this year ' s quintet would rank with the best ever produced at Lenoir Rhyne, but unfor- tunately the little book carries only the account of wins and losses. Severely handicapped by a dearth of material. Coach R. M. Pat Shores fashioned a team from two regulars from last year ' s team. Captain Mando and Herb Sampsel, the remainder of the quintet being composed of reserves with comparatively little experience. Graduation will again take a heavy toll from the team, Sampsel, Mando. and Charles Brown leaving by this route. Prospects are somewhat brightened for next year, however, by the excellent showing made this year by the undergraduate members of the team.

The material was far from good, many of the lads lacking in both size and experience. Coach Stasavich tutored the young hopefuls, and. despite their rather unimpressive records, a number of them showed promise of developing into varsity material. L. R. Freshmen L. R. Freshmen 27 L. R.
