SILHOUETTES OF PFEIFFER September 10, 1931 was a very busy day on Pfeiffer campus as students from New' Jersey to Florida gathered to begin their college career and start the Class of 1933. Nobody had time to become homesick because our first week was spent going to parties and taking tests. T hese tests were a good example of what we wrere to find w hen we met our first classes on Monday morning. It w'as not as bad as we thought because Sadie Hawkins Day and Freshmen Initiation w'ere soon to follow'. The call ' Poor Freshmen” which rang through the air for w eeks before the fatal day terrified us before the day arrived. The coming of fall brought the Harvest Dance, the Beauty Pageant, trips to the movies, and basketball games. One of the greatest events of the year was the breaking of the w'ater pump which permitted us to go home for Christmas three days early. The Washington Ball brought a great deal of enjoyment, and spring brought the Farew'ell Dance. Under the able leadership of our President, Jimmy Davis, Vice-President Shirley McKinney, and Secretary Bunny Giddes, the year ended successfully. Only 33 members of our class returned on September 10 to meet the freshmen and betrin our last year at Pfeiffer. We elected Jimmy Brown O J J J as President, Gene McCloy, Vice-President, Frances Fortenbury, Secretary, and Mr. Holshouser, Sponsor. With the help of a good committee, a fine program w'as planned to initiate the Freshmen. The Order of the Sundial started the ball to rolling with the Harvest Dance. The Washington Ball, May Day Dance, and Farewell Dance followed. Too soon for most of us graduation arrived. As we sat in the beautiful chapel listening to the Baccalaureate Sermon, we thought back over the happy days we had spent here. Of course we thought of the ones who dropped out during the years, but there w'as the thought of better things to come to back them all up. As we depart to go to different colleges and continue our college careers, we shall always remember the friendly atmosphere and scholarly help that we have received at Pfeiffer. All of these things . . . the dances, the religious activities, the abstractions . . . crowd together as we survey Pfeiffer making myriads of silhouettes in the memories of the Class of 1933. 8 Eva McClamrock and Beverly Bonney SOPHOMORES Betty Carolyn Adkins STATESVILLE, N.

Dr. Smith, we have been able to do many things in the field ot dramatics to improve the activities ol the school. 30 YOUNG DEMOCRATS CLUB YOUNG REPUBLICANS CLUB THE YOUNG DEMOCRATS CLUB The Young Democrats Club is an organization made up of young political minded students who wish to express themselves in this field. In regular monthly meetings they have the opportunity to discuss certain issues facing the Democratic Party and to listen to competent speakers, well informed on this subject. THE YOUNG REPUBLICANS CLUB Although it is a minority group, The Young Republicans Club is very active. They look very proudly into the future, as their party has once again come into power. Bill Cook, President, has done a splendid job in arousing the interest ot the students in politics. 31 CHOIR TRIO QUARTET CHOIR A study is made of the various types of choral literature including sacred and secular, a cappella and accompanied.

Many times they have appeared before the anxious Pfeifferites and yelled. Is everybody ready?’’ and the echoing cry was. Yea man!”—So the many games have continued with the cheerleaders offering a welcome to the home teams. The chief cheerleader is Bunny Giddes and backing her up are Barbara Higgins, )an Johnson, Deanne Cooke, Bobbie Turner, Mol lie Siler, and Edna Reep. 42 BOYS' BASKETBALL Whiz! There goes that basketball, and it is a basket scoring two points for the Pfeiffer boys, Rah! Rah! For the good team work, grand sportsmanship, and the hard playing that cur boys did during this year, 1952-53. The Panthers have certainly played some good games this year. Our team has not always been the winning team but by good, hard playing, it has produced very strong competition for the other teams. In the outstanding games of the Panther season, favorable remarks have been made O O by the spectators: 'Well, every man on the squad played his best'’ or, It was a very good game, and I enjoyed it.” Basketball, this year, has added good entertainment for the players as well as for the Panther spectators. Perhaps one of the best games of the season was played with Campbell. This game not only furnished good, exciting entertainment but it produced a hard battle for each team. Pfeiffer won the final victory. Dewey Caudle, Joe Harris, Kent Bunting, Norman Kimbrough, |ohn Henry Giles, and Bill Ross, backed by the Junior Varsity are to be congratulated for their outstanding year of hard playing. 43 m u BASEBALL CROSS COUNTRY BASEBALL AlthoLigh the Pfeiffer baseball team did not have such a good season last year, it did have good sports- manship. Mr. Hinson did a grand job ol coaching and deserves a vote of thanks from the student body as well as the team. The team is looking forward to a much better season this year. CROSS COUNTRY Norman Epler, Bob van Witzenburg, Jim Ritchie, Will Alexander, Herb Ridgeway, Frank Efird, Dave Newton, and Ken Shealy, coached by N. E. Lelko, put a lot of effort into cross country, and made a good showing, even though they failed to gain a victory. Probably the best meet ot the season was with Camp- bell, here. Van Witzenburg was nosed out for first place, finishing only one second behind the winner. This sport really requires a lot of patience and determination, without offering much glory to its par- ticipants, so these boys really deserve a hand. Here’s hats off to the cross country team. 44 W.A.A. MONOGRAM CLUB MM W. A. A.

C. 52 Silhouettes of the Crystal Ball I remember long ago when I graduated trom Pfeiffer College. I remember well all of the hopes and ambitions of my fellow classmates. 1 hoped someday, to learn the fate of these wonderful peo- ple. My chance came sooner than I expected. Being a teacher, I had a chance to attend the an- nual teachers meeting in New York. Much to my surpise I found many of my friends there that were teachers—Nell Hatley, Vivian Plyler, Mary Shelley, and Alvie Isenhour. Barbara Cox, editor ot Life,” personally covered the meeting. Later Barbara in- troduced me to the Life” staff. The typists were Mrs. Edith Platte, Martha Shelley, Rachel Smith, Pat Stilwell, and Peggy Thomas. Charles Crump is on the business staff, and Dick Williams and Gene McCloy are commercial artists for Life.” While in New York I visited Glen Dale Burle- son's broadway hit, Gay '53 Review.” Star of the show was Miss Dagmar of I960, Dean Cooke. Bub- ble dancers were )oyce Adkins and Doris Hardister, and cornediene was Anne Wofford. The show was directed by Frances Fortenbury. Next door we saw in the bright lights Beverly Bonney, star of I Married a Preacher.” We then decided that we would try to trace the rest of the graduates of our class, so we returned t“ to Pfeiffer to try and get a lead on more of the 53 class. At the college, Betty Morgan, Home Eco- nomics teacher, told us about Norman Kimbrough s super market. Gerald Peterson, with his large truck farm, supplied the groceries tor Norman’s store. Dewey Caudle, head coach at Pfeiffer and Vernon Lentz, assistant, were trying to shape up a basket- ball team. His star player was Odell Walker’s son. From Doug Beard, minister at Wesley Chapel, we found that Jimmy Davis and Don Miller were also successful ministers. Martin Cline, Life” photographer, took a picture of John Henry Giles, prominent engineer, who was visiting the old campus. Then to our surprise Kay Blevins, head nurse of Pfeiffer Infirmary, is famous for her prescrip- tion of Carter’s Little Liver Pills. Her assistants are Grace Ingram, Janice Smith, and Ruth Dick- haut. Then with a little questioning here and there we discovered that Bill Cook and Mary Ann Turner are in Southern Pines raising a family of cookies, while Jean Yandle is in California tending to her little sailors. Jimmy Sells is chief detective and his main duty is informing for Fran Rinehardt, where Bobby is. Jane Caldwell is his private secretary, but she never can find him. (Bobby that is.) On our way to Texas to trace other members of the class, wre went over the new eight-lane high- way No. 1, built by Warren Winchester, the famous civil-engineer. This highway passed near the new Four-way Stretch Girdle Company, owned by Bob Middleton. Arlene Watts was the chemist in charge of the research Department. Jimmy Brown was the plant accountant, and Bob Austin was doctor. Down in Texas we find a successful secretary Bunny Giddes, who is working for handsome (Joe) Hodge, manager of Boyd’s Oil Refinery. Tuckered” in the apartment with Bunny are Faye Ramsey and Phyllis Thomas. Phyllis is writing articles for Pfeiffer Confessions” while Faye is illustrating the mad love scenes. While in Texas we met Aquilino Torres, the Cuban ambassador. He said that Carolyn Adkins, Gail Whitaker, Martha Henson, and Jean Beaty were now religious workers in his country. Eva McClamrock, an official of the American Relief Organization was also visiting Cuba. O O Barbara and I now had every person accounted for except Luke French. By doing some back tracking we soon discovered that he was still oc- cupying a booth at Cruses’ back in Misenheimer. So leaving Luke at Cruses’ we take one more long look at our beloved campus—the remem- brance of the pleasant times we had and the places we associate with them, and resign ourselves to assume our turbulent but relatively safe places in the world.
