The endless columns march. The men whose feet Marked out the paths of freedom walk this road. They march with death, but there is no retreat, For men of freedom live their code . . . The earth still trembles under marching feet. The earth still flows with blood and tears, . . . The ghostly shuffling feet Of countless men who will not rest still tread The earth. They march, and there is no retreat. No armistice, for these, the dead. —HAL BORLAND. ti Mm J ' ifi, Owl fiAuvcipkA, In these, our times, when men are again wading in blood and grime and muck . . . the terrifying horrors of war and destruction they see will continue to haunt them, but shall never be expressed except in staring, deadened eyes of the living ... in the mangled bits of those found missing. Men are dying for their beliefs , , , our beliefs, for their principles . , our principles, for their Cod . . . our Cod ' Things worth fighting for down thru ' the centuries. Men march . . . always hoping that the finale will bring permanent peace. The echoes beat like drum-rolls down the wind of bitter years . . . 1776 ... 1861 ... 1917 . . . 1941. We look to the future ... we are youth full of optimism, hope, and assurance. In each pulsation does our blood contend our trust; Our meagerness can never fray our pride for them. Or faith that what they do is of the mighty deed which shakes the world. --RACHEL CONRAD ?(ii UL (jt)iL It ' s 1943 . , things have been happening in the world around us , and on our campus.

MONROE OjVl fi dLdJjcbinL To be at home in all lands and ages; to count Nature a familiar acquaintance and Art a familiar friend; to gam a standard for the appreciation of other men ' s work and the criticism of one ' s own; to make friends among men and women of one ' s own age who are to be leaders in all walks of life; to lose one ' s self in generous enthusiasm and to cooperate with others for common ends; to form character under professors who are Christians — these are the returns of a college for the best four years of one ' s life. —William DeWitt Hyde.

But that sport, along with the other inter- collegiate sports of Lenoir Rhyne, had to be dropped for the duration. In the place of varsity competition a comprehensive schedule of intramural play was immedi- ately set up. Of course, the thrill of the big game is gone; hero worship must take its place among the out-of- styles Their substitute Intramurals for everyone! Really not a bad idea at all. The program has stimulated interest and enthu- siasm . . . attested by the crowd that turned out on Thanksgiving for the touch football game. Coach Shore Neal, one of L. R. ' s past grid stars, has undertaken the job of Director of Athletics — meaning intramurals. The Bears ' career in intercolleg- iate sports was climaxed as she emerged from the ' 42 season with the North State Conference cham- pionships in baseball and tennis . . . final honors for Pat and Stas. And the honors continued ... with the close of the ' 42 season also came the coveted Messick sportsmanship trophy ... to the students of a sports- loving school. Shep nets a gross gain. Foot ballet.

The Association drew up a new constitution which pro- vided for more officers and a revised point system. Formerly, only those stooges who managed to last till they were seniors were granted letters . . this year, any girl with enough points, which were awarded according to participa- tion in sports, was entitled to receive one of the coveted monograms.

Even the shortage of good balls didn ' t keep the racquet wielders off the court every sunny afternoon. (And, of course, the mere fact that special permission could be obtained to play on the boys ' courts had nothing whatsoever to do with the enthusiasm for said sport in Mauney and Extension.)

Contact! ■ © © fS Mi M4 . As a climax to Lenoir Rhyne ' s intercollegiate sports, the 1942 baseball team turned in one of the most successful records in the history of the college. The Brum team, under the leadership of Captain Dave Hodgson, won 14 of the 19 scheduled games . . . to bring home to the Alma Mater the North State Conference crown Among the teams to fall under the power of the Bears was Atlantic Christian College ... 9 to 3, Catawba College . . . 5 to 1 , 2 to 1 , 3 to 1 , Appalachian State Teachers College .. 8 to 2, 10 to 1 , Guil- ford College ... 2 to 1 , 1 5 to 3, Elon College ... 6 to 5 in fourteen innings. Western Carolina Teachers College . . 15 to 1, Newberry College ... 6 to 3, Roanoke College ... 14 to 4, Davidson College . . . 9 to 5. They lost once to Newberry ... 10 to 6, once to Atlantic Christian College ... 8 to 7, once to Elon ... 1 1 to 0, and once to Catawba ... 7 to 3. Lefty Ballard led the team batting with an average of .400 . . . an unusual feat since Ballard, besides being a great hitter, was probably the most dependable pitcher on the Brum squad . . . that boy could throw a mean ball ! Next in line for hitting was F. R. Lail with a batting average of 364, closely followed by Chunk Rudisill with an average of .357. Coach Pat Shores ended his Lenoir Rhyne career as football, base- ball, and basketball coach with a team that was an organization of which he could well be proud. Perhaps, the boys were determined to reward Pat for the years of work and patient understanding he had shown while at L. R. Anyhow, we ' re bragging about the team that made the Brum exit on baseball a crowning affair. Page Ninety-six JmniJL mi In addition to receiving the tennis title the Lenoir Rhyne netmen walked away with notable honors. In the North State Tennis Elimination Tournament Ralph Curley, seated No. 7, played Jay Shepherd, seated No. 1, tor the singles title. The doubles team, composed of Jay Shepherd and David Conrad, remained undefeated in con- ference play by defeating Ralph Curley and Mar- shall Mauney for the doubles championship. The Bears ' team won the conference play . . . meeting and downing every conference foe at least once. Most of the matches ' one-sided scores gave further evidence of the Bears ' powerful tennisity. Lenoir Rhyne defeated Atlantic Christian Col- lege 4 to 0, High Point College 7 to 0, Cuilford College 7 to 0, Elon College 6 to 1 , Catawba College 5 to 2, again High Point College 7 to and again Catawba College 5 to 2 They lost twice to Davidson by a score of 4 to 3 and 6 to 1 Captain David Conrad, Ralph Curley, an larshall Mauney, ended with this conference four years of varsity tennis During their college years these seniors brought home many honors to Lenoir Rhyne. Also ending his career at Lenoir Rhyne was Coach Clarence P. Stasavich, assistant football coach and head tennis coach since 1939. During the time Coach Stasavich was he proved himself not only an able footbal tennis coach, but also an inspiration to the athletes under his tutorship. re he I and many That ' s gonna be a hard ball!

Intercollegiate sports being a thing of the past at Lenoir Rhyne, an exten- sive program of intramural sports has pushed to the fore. Intramural com- petition IS rather old stuff on the cam- pus, but the present program is by far the broadest in scope of any preceding. Ex-star athletes . . . plus new fresh- man material . . . plus anybody else who wanted to play, added up to the class touch football squads. Choosing captains for the teams was left to the intramural council at the start of the season. The men selected were among our experienced sportsmen . . . capable of leading a team ... Jay Shepherd, seniors; Carl BIythe, juniors; Chunk Rudisill, sophomores; and Bill Miller, freshmen. After the first game of the season — a ripper in which the seniors really Page Ninety-eight . amjodmOL outclassed the junior entry, it became evident that intramurals would plug up the hole in the athletic life of the college At the close of the first round It looked as if there would be a battle for top honors between the sophomores and seniors with another struggle be- tween the juniors and frosh for the dubious honor of cellar-dweller. But things didn ' t turn out that way at all. How could they — when Shep kept get- ting fatter and fatter and when BIythe finally learned his team what ought to be done with a pig-skm? The sophomores, led by Rudisill and bolstered by a large number of ex- varsity men, came through the sched- ule undefeated and untied , . . with just one touchdown scored against them. The juniors nosed out the heav- ily-favored senior team for second place honors. The seniors had not been de- feated in intramural competition for two years. The freshmen proved they ' re still being made of stern stuff Page Ninety-nine NTRAMURAL BASKETBALL or, Things Ain ' t What They Wuz. Under the latest setup of play who and what you can, the boys basket- ball turned into a scramble to see who could get to the shin-guards first . . . Games were played with anybody from the local high school Red Tornadoes to the all star Naval C P.T. bone crush- er team , . . ending in anything short of who slugged me in the eye or who swiped my shirt. All of which eaves jughead Sigmon in much of a daze, standing around with his mouth open. Coach Neal, with the help of former ar hoop ringers strived vainly to keep the sophomores from trying to remove all of the freshmen ' s teeth. As the season progressed several of the contestants found that the ball was supposed to go through the hoop . . . and so we knew that intramural basket- ball had been a success. Page One Hundred THE OLD ARMY CAME , . , By specia request of the United States Government the future Generals and Admirals of the campus were required to undergo at least two hours a week of toughening up. Exer- cises were given by Coach Neal, and many a flabby muscle began to tighten up and squeak.
