Yoder, Lenoir Rhync College experienced its opening. At that time the infant insti- tution was called Highland College. But on January 2, 1892. at the tem- porary organization of the Board of Trustees, the name was changed to Lenoir College. In 1923 the name Lenoir College received another ' once-over, ' and was called Lenoir Rhyne College, the Rhyne being added in honor of Mr. Daniel Efird Rhyne. whose generosity saved the life of the College after the burning of the Old Admmistration Building in 1927. After many meetings and much discussion the founders of Lenoir Rhyne College arranged with Col. J. G. Hall, execu- tor of the estate of Captain Walter Lenoir, to take charge of Highland School, on condition that they open the College in September 1891, and raise $10,000 by January 1, 1892 for improvement of the grounds and buildings. When Highland College opened on the morning of September 1. 1891. sixty-three students enrolled. And dur- ing the first year one hundred and fortv-nine students were in attendance. Dr. R. L. Fruz Many have considered the founders of Lenoir Rhyne College to be four in number — Rev. R. A. Yoder. Rev. J. C. Moser, Rev. W. P. Cline and Rev. A. L. Crouse, but actually there were five. The fifth was our own Dr. R. L. Fritz. Dr. Fritz has been recognized by the Board of Trustees of the College and the Alumni Associ- ation as one of the foun- ders. A train wreck ended the life of the man who would have been the sixth founder of the in- stitution. He was the Rev. M. L. Little, who was fatally injured in a C. t5 N. W. train wreck on February 16, 1891, about a month and a half before Col. Hall ' s propo- sition was accepted. The following presidents have served the College: Dr. R. A. Yoder. 1891-1901; Dr. R. L. Fritz. 1901- 1920: Dr. J. C. Peery, 1920-1925: Dr. P. E. Monroe. 1925-1926: Dr. H. B. Shaeffer, 1926-1934: and Dr. P. E. Monroe, whose present admin- istration was begun in 1934. Lenoir Rhyne College has greatly increased in faculty members, stu- dent body, buildings, activities and in numerous ways until it has become recognized as one of the leading colleges in the South. fS rwrros 1910 HACAWA STAFF The Second Hacawa Staff. 1910. The young lady seated in the foreground is Mrs. Pearl Setzcr Deal, who was Associate Editor. The young gentleman at the left is Mr. W. K. Mauncy. of Kings Mountain. N. C Vice- President of the Board of Trustees of the Col- lege. There was no photograph made of the first Hacawa Staff. Dr. F. G. Morgan, Head of the Bible Department, was a Business Manager of the first HACAWA printed in 1909. OLD MAIN BUILDING The Old Administration Building was the first building on the campus. It was known as the ' Main ' . It was destroyed by fire Janu- ary 6. 1927. The structure to the left of the Administration Building is the present Yoder Science Building. The students back then believed in advertising memorable happenings. For on both of the front towers beside the third floor could be seen in a larger picture — Lenoir Rhyne 4. Catawba 1, and Lenoir Rhyne 2, Catawba 1. Notice the dresses worn in those days — quite a contrast from those of today. THE PREVARICATORS The Ancient and Infernal Order of Prevaricators was one of the early clubs of the College. Their motto: Never Trust a Brother. Their aim: To Be the Greatest Liar. Their official colors: Bull-frog Green and Huckleberry Purple. There were three officers: High Liar, Vice High Liar and Recorder of Liars. The members were divided into three parties: The Gas Bags, The Rogues and The Nothings. Take special notice of their activity and the expressions on their faces — not a care in the world. Their song: We Won ' t Be Home Until Morning. THE COLLEGE Rev. R , a. Yoder. A.M., D.D. Professor, President, Pastor, Principal and Founder was Rev. Robert Anderson Yoder, A.M., D.D. He attended North Carolina College, Mt. Pleasant. N. C, from which he graduated in 1877, and also the University of Illinois. Early in the year 1879. Prof. Yoder accepted a call to become Pastor of St. James Lutheran Church near Newton. N. C and from that time until the day of his death he sustained the relation of Pastor of some congregation along with his labors in the class room. In 1878 he was made Principal of Concordia High School, later Concordia College, and his wife was made Matron and Teacher of Music. They were the only instruc- tors of the School. He was County Superintendent of Schools for Catawba County from 1884 until 1893. With the help of Doctors Moscr, Cline and Crouse. Lenoir College was established in September 1891. From 1891 to 1901 Prof. Yoder was President of Lenoir College. In 1899 North Carolina College honored its esteemed pupil with the Degree of Doctor of Divinity. Prof. Yoder also served as President of the Tennessee Synod from 1902 until 1906. Lenoir Rhyne College stands as a monument to, and, in many ways, reveals this great educator in her stand for positive Christianity, broad culture, accurate scholarship, co-education and the development of Christian character. Dr. Pleasant Edgar Monroe. President THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE Jesus said, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life. For God who commandeth the light to shine out of -darkness hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. In his Similitude of a Dream John Bunyan makes Evangelist say to Man, ' Do you see yonder shining light? ' The Man said, I think I do. ' Then said Evangelist. ' Keep that light in your eye and go up directly thereto. So shalt thou see the Gate, at which when thou knockest it shall be told thee what thou shalt do. ' Whereupon the Man began to run.

Page Twenty-seven SENIOR CLASS HISTORY At the same time that we, the Class of 1941, are looking back with satis- faction over four years of growth, spiritually, mentally, physically and socially, the College is glancing back over its fifty years of existence. As Freshmen we might well have been compared to the early years of the College, a little uncertain but deter- mined. Early in the fall of 193 7 we elected Wilfred Hahn as our Class President. Under his leadership we found our place in the curriculum of the College. It was discovered that our class was abundantly endowed with abilities. The members took an active part in athletics, forensics, dramatics and the choir. We were giving Lenoir Rhyne all we had in order to get as much as possible out of education. By 1938, with a year of College training behind us, we were more sure of ourselves and the mark we wanted to leave at Lenoir Rhyne. Bob Cald- well succeeded Wilfred Hahn as Presi- dent and wc were off to a good start. Plenty of Freshman caps were sold and our treasury was replenished. As a result the Freshmen were royally enter- tained at a party on George Washing- ton ' s birthday. And so the hatchet was buried — the traditional rivalry between the Freshman and Sophomore classes was at an end. During the 19 39-1940 school session Curtis Morehead was our Presi- dent. The Junior Store was in very capable hands and the proceeds were the largest ever made. Our money and efforts were turned toward the Junior- Senior Banquet and Dance in the spring. It was a big climax to a more than prosperous year. Lawyer David Swift was the toastmaster and Judge Wilson Warlick was the speaker. Music was furnished by Lewis Clayton and his Orchestra. If one hadn ' t known by the invitation that this afi air was to be held at the Legion Hut in New- ton, one would have thought it was in New York ' s brightest night spot. According to both classes it was a ' big success ' . At last, we are Seniors, wiser and older whether we realize it or not. Con- fidence, hope, endeavor, cooperation and a zest for living belong to us. Every side of our personality has been built up. The mere fact that Lenoir Rhyne is a Christian institution goes a long way toward saying that spiritu- ally we have not been neglected. Through participation in a varied physical education program our bodies have grown tall and strong. From class work and participation in extra- curricula affairs our minds are more alert and broad. Social contacts have been numerous. Page Twenty-eight After much consideration the class has decided to install an indirect light- ing system in the Library. We feel that this will benefit all students and be a real value to the College. In times such as these, we realize the future is very uncertain, but what we have gained in the past four years can ' t be taken away. This is certain and sure. We don ' t believe the world owes us a living, but we intend to carve a plan for ourselves, always believing, always teaching, The truth shall make you free, Tomorrow, some of the doctors, lawyers, professors, business men, min- isters and successes in other fields will be Lenoir Rhyne students of today. For four profitable, unforgetful years, we thank you, Lenoir Rhyne College. Farrar Rhynh, Historian.

At the beginning of each section we have presented a short summary of the life work of each founder and of our own Dr. Fritz, along with his portrait. But we have not forgotten the student activity side. Preceding the respective classes wc have pictured the officers informally and also set aside a page picturing activity in each of the classes. Other noteworthy additions are the sponsor section, featuring twenty-four pictures, the snapshot section of six pages of campus life, and the football section. In compiling this, the thirty-second annual of Lenoir Rhyne College, we have tried to portray activity that will present pleasant memories for years to come. 4 Kronuero Fritz Mauney EVAKS Lee Yoder Page Sixty-tioo THE 1941 HACAWA STAFF EDITORIAL STAFF F.

Ostwalt Business Manager The Lenoir Rhynean is the weekly publication of the students of Lenoir Rhyne College. It first appeared on the campus as a literary magazine in 1899, but developed into the voice of the campus when in 1921 it completed its metamorphosis into a news sheet. Since 1931 the publication has been operated directly by the student body. It provides a permanent record of activities of the college and serves as a medium of expression and a record for future refer- ence. This year we have endeavored not only to mirror campus activities and student life realistically, but also to portray the growth of Lenoir Rhyne and her rising influence in Christian education. The Editor and Business Manager wish to express their appreci- ation to the members of the staff who have worked faithfully to insure publication and to the business firms whose advertisements have made publication possible.

Few pastors have done more personal missionary work than did Pastor Grouse, who organized five congregations, reorganized several and established two parochial schools. When he came to Hickory in 1889, he was deeply interested in establishing a college here. Gol. J, G. Hall ' s offer of this magnificent site of land for a college first greatly impressed Pastor Grouse, and through his foresight and that of Doctors Yoder, Moser and Gline, Lenoir Gollege was established. Pastor Grouse was appointed the Synod ' s Theological Professor of the Gollege and also Professor of German and Assistant in English. Pastor Grouse will be remembered widely and long as an editor and publisher. At Summit, S. G.. he founded and pub- lished The Summit Courier. Here at Lenoir Gollege he founded The Educator, which later became The Lenoinan and is now The Lenoir Rhynean. He also published Our Church Record and A Christian Cate- chism for Children. As the Professor of Theology of Lenoir Gollege he will longest be remembered, but his work as author, editor, pastor and organizer will never be forgotten. Hil HI THE LETTERMEN ' S CLUB OFFICERS Glenn Ream ■ President Marshall MauNEY Vice-President David Conrad Secretary-Treasurer The Lcttcrmen ' s Club of Lenoir Rhyne College is composed of honored athletes and managers. When one earns a letter in foot- ball, basketball, baseball, tennis or as a manager of one of the aforementioned sports, he automatically becomes enrolled in the Letterrnen ' s Club of the institution. The Letterrnen ' s Club has been rather in- active this year. One reason for its inactivity is that the concession stand at the football field was last year turned over to the Junior Class to operate, therefore, leaving the club without possible finances. Its aims are to create a ' more friendly spirit with opposing teams, to elevate sportsman- ship and to improve athletics on the campus. ATHLETICS AT LENOIR RHYNE Athletics at Lenoir Rhyne College are guided, tutored and nursed by R. M. Pat Shores and Clarence P. Stasavich. Shores is Head Tutor and Stasavich is his able Assistant. Pat received his College education at Maryville College where he won letters in foot- ball, basketball, baseball and swimming. After graduating he coached one year at Maryville High and then came to Hickory High where he put out winning teams for five years. In 193 2 he was named Head Coach at Lenoir Rhyne. Last year the Bruins breezed in with the Gridiron Crown, and the year before won the Baseball Title. Coach Pat looks after the backfield men on the football team and is Head Coach of Baseball and Basketball. Clarence P. learned his athletics the hard way, by participating in them here at Lenoir Rhyne College. He was one of the greatest athletes ever to darken the dressing room door at the local institution. He was All-Conference in football and basketball, All-State foot- ball tackle and a member of the Observer ' s Flaming Five. Stas accepted a coaching posi- tion with Campbell College when he graduated, but in 1938 returned to Lenoir Rhyne as Assistant Mentor. He tutors the line in football, having had seven All-Conference line- men in three years, is Freshman Basketball Coach, Tennis Coach and Director of Intramurals. Intramurals were a shadow ' s shadow until Stas took hold, and now they have really won recognition in Lenoir ' Rhyne ' s athletic program. Because of Stasavich ' s initia- -ff tive and foresight and direction the track beside the baseball park is now under construction.

Captain Glenn Ream FOOTBALL A Bruin football squad which alternately rose to the heights and sank again accomplished a deed long looked for but never before attained, a win over the Appalachian Mountaineers — the first in the history of the institution. Unprecedented also was the 36 to whitewashing handed the locals by the Newberry Indians who had never before beaten a Bear team, The inspired and flashy Indians, who were at the peak of oiled perfection, did not allow the Bruins to get started as they drove for tallies in every quarter. A R N D T LOOE NBERGER GALDWE4.L SURSAVAGE icr CONRAD GIBSON C L ! N E POE To counteract this tragedy, however, we had the inspired play of the Bears in bowing to the heavy and powerful Elon Christians, who capitalized on a bad pass and a fumble to down the fighting Shoremen, 8 to 6. The atmosphere that pervaded the campus prior to the Appalachian game was one of confidence and unerring faith. This atmosphere continued throughout the game as the Bears came from be- hind to win 13 to 9, which will remain a fond memory of the season in the minds of all fans. Of course, the climax of the season was the annual Turkey Day meeting with the Catawba Indians, arch rivals, who marked up an impressive record for the year, losing no conference games and sailing through on the arm of Dwight Holshouser. The hapless Bruins also fell under the axe to the tune of 13 to 0. Manager Johnny L ingle Head Coach R. M. (Patj Shores There were five veterans who finished their years of plowing on the Bear field. They were fullback and Captain Glenn Ream, quarterback Henry Longenberger, halfback Gus Arndt. Bob Cald- well, end, and center and Alternate Captain Joe Sursavage. All of these men were mainstays of the team and will be greatly missed. The season also brought out the talents of many Freshmen, six of whom were good enough to earn letters. They were Buck Mabry, Chunk Rudisill and Joe Frene, backs: Orus Johnson, Leon Hol- comb and James Sampscl, linemen. The team ' s record shows six wins out of nine games and a North State Conferenece record of four wins and two losses. Madison Conrad was elected by his teammates to lead the 1941 edition of the Bear Squad and Mike Gibson was elected as Alternate Captain. Both of the boys are rising Seniors.

VARSITY BASKETBALL An inexperienced but willing squad of Bruin cagers limped through a twenty-three game schedule and ended up with eight wins to the credit side of the ledger not balancing the fifteen losses on the opposite side. The Bears fought hard in every match but poor aim and weakened defense could not stand up against the power of such teams as Elon, High Point and Appalachian. The Bears performed best against heavy odds, and showed the makings of a great team for the future. Noah Hamrick. leading scorer for the season with 166 tallies, is the only player graduat- ing.

BASEBALL The 1939 Championship Bear team sHpped one cog in the 1940 session and ended up in second place behind the North State Confer- ence winners, the Elon Christians. The record shows a total of eleven wins and eight losses, with a conference slate of nine wins and six losses. However, the Bruins can well be proud of defeating the Catawba Indians in all four of their encounters. With a roster of veterans, the Bears had a good chance of repeating their championship. But a few bad days was enough to establish the Christians as the winners. They won over the locals in all three of their contests. Hinson Quinn, lightning third baseman and four-year veteran, led the hitting for the season with a .400 average. At bat 75 times, he was on safely 30 of these appearances. He specialized in doubles, of which he pounded out six. Second batting honors went to Bur- ton Barger, heavy slugging outfielder, who was at bat 76 times and procured 17 hits for an average of .355. Lee Hopkins had a higher percentage but batted only eighteen times for .389. Neal, Sampsel, Garrett and Washam all hit over .300 and Hamrick totaled .298. Baine Sisk and left-handed Johnny Cline were strongest on the pitching staff, which in- cluded Sampsel, Russell, Captain of the ' 41 team, Wendland and Trexler. Cline led the hurling by winning five and losing two, while Freshman Baine Sisk was nipping his heels with four wins and two losses. Both started seven games. Cline allowed 58 hits to 55 for Sisk. Sisk also led in the number of strike- outs — 42. Commencement was hard on the Bruins, snatching five veterans, namely, Co-Captains Herb Sampscl and Hinson Quinn, James Gar- rett, Norris Childers and Shore Neal. The Bears showed a lapse in performance several times, losing to High Point twice and Guilford once, not to mention a loss to the Hickory Rebels, 13 to 9. As a whole, how- ever, the Shoremen completed an outstanding season in a great fashion and really deserved the second place accorded them in the North State Conference.

This was the second successive year that the Bruins have ended up right behind the skillful Quakers, but the season ' s eleven wins and two losses are evidence enough of an admirable record. Reponsible to a great extent for the success of the team were Jay Shepherd, who. although not one of the four with perfect records, won thirteen singles matches and dropped only one, and Leslie Conrad, alternating in the sixth position, who obtained the best average by chalking up eight wins to no losses. The other three with clean slates were Marshall Mauney with five on the asset side. David Conrad and Fulton Lanier with one and two wins respectively, against no losses. Further proof of the fine squad which Coach Clarence P. Stasavich developed, is the fact that of the eleven matches won. eight of them were total victories in which the opposition failed to take a single win. Those lost by graduation included the number one player. Jack Mauney, a four-year veteran; Giant Bill Kennady. whose smashing serve was dynamite: and Berge Beam, also a three-star player. This squad, captained by Wilfred Hahn, was one of the best ever to represent Lenoir Rhyne. and it certainly has the right to be proud of the record it established. Coach Clarence P.
