FOOT HILLS Yf William Fred Hedgepath Rev Clover, S. C. Platonic Literary Society, President, 29- ' 30, Critic. ■30: Editor-in-Chief The FOOT HILLS, ' 30; Presi- dent Glee Club, ' 30; Vice-President Student Council, ' 30; Associate Business Manager RECTANGLE; Ministerial Band, Secretary, ' 29- ' 30 ; Chairman the Friends of Rutherford Club; Merry Makers, ' 29- ' 30; Y. M. C. A.; Class Poet. Long after our school days are over we will ever hold in our memory Fred ' s charming personality. Yes, he ' s another of the South Carolina boys, but, as he says, he can ' t help that. He is one of our most promising ministerial students. He is a leader :n many of the activities around the school, and it will, indeed, be hard to find some one to take his place. He has all the qualities of manhood needed for success in life and the class of ' 30 expects much of him. We feel that he will not disappoint us. Lawrence W. Lee Bishop Lawndale, N. C. Newtonian Literary Society ; Ministerial Club, President of Program Committee; Secretary and Treasurer Dramatic Club; Superintendent of Fourth Department Epworth League ; Glee Club. Lawrence comes to us from Lawndale. He took freshman work at Weaver College, but decided to leave the mountains and come to Rutherford. Al- though we have not known Lawrence very long, we have found him to be an all-around fellow, and all that can be desired in a friend. He is always anxious to help those who need help and is noted tor his genius in the field of leadership. We have reason to believe that he will become a success and sometime make the world sit up and take notice that he has accomplished something worth while, for Cleveland County is noted for its great men. Caldwell W. Nixon Nick Charlotte, N. C. Platonic Literary Society, President, ' 30 ; Football ; Basketball; Manager Baseball, ' 29- ' 30; Member Stu- dent Council ; Sports Editor RECTANGLE ; Busi- ness Manager The FOOT HILLS; Member of Publication Committee; Class President; De Molay. Cheerful and optimistic — that ' s Nick. He possesses a strong will, and meets everyone with a word of good cheer. He has an ideal philosophy of life ; therefore, the field of law affords a great future for him. Caldwell has been actively engaged in all col- lege activities from the athletic field to the formality of society president. Due to his wide range of ability, he has gained many life-long friends, and he will meet life four-square like a man who knows no defeat. vi ri M ' i i i i Pi ' i ri inrr

FOOT HILLS M Wendell Greene Faw Green North Wilkeshoro, N. C. Platonic Literary Society, President, ' 30, Secretary, ' 30 ; Class Secretary ; Associate Editor The FOOT HILLS; Associate Editor RECTANGLE; Glee Club, ' 30; Dramatic Club, ' 30; Member Y. M. C. A. Quiet and unassuming but a possessor of a keen mind and a strong will. Wendell has added much to college life by taking an active part in various activi- ties. In the class room he has proven himself an excellent student. Wendell is not too serious and not too gay, but is what is termed a well balanced student. With his genius to do the great things in life, his success and accomplishments will be un- limited. Wellington David Fong Ambassador Quebec, P. Q., Canada Platonic Literary Society, Officer, ' 29- 30. Kong is certainly to be commended for the re- markable scholastic record he has made while work- ing under the handicap of having to learn our lan- guage. In spite of this handicap he has one of the best vocabularies of anyone in school. Though he was a first lieutenant in his former school and expects to continue the study of military tactics, he also expects to become an ambassador, and we know he will be an effective diplomat in helping to establish peace, understanding, and sympathy between the nations of the world. Rollin Parker Gibbs Red Greensboro, N. C. Platonic Literary Society, Secretary. ' 30, Treasurer, ' 29, Critic, ' 29, Improvement Medal Judge, ' 30; Min- isterial Band, Vice-President, Secretary; Student Council; Varsity Football, ' 29- ' 30; Associate Editor RECTANGLE; President Y. M. C. A. ; Debate Council, ' 29; President Boys ' Sunday School Class, ' 29; Publication Committee, ' 29; Class Prophet; As- sistant in Science. Everyone will agree that Rollin is one of the most, if not the most valuable student at Rutherford. He has shown his genius in many ways, serving his college in almost every capacity, from machinist to assistant in science, but perhaps he has displayed his greatest talent on the gridiron. He is one of the few who was able to make the team and yet main- tain his high average in grades. We will miss Rollin when he is gone. He has been with us for five years, but we sincerely hope for him a brilliant career, and we are confident he will succeed. [20] !3 !5 rw nwi Fivi M?i , « i ;

FOOT HIL William Robert Ormond Bill Indian Trail, N. C. Newtonian Literary Society, President, ' 29, Vice- President, ' 30, Critic, ' 29- ' 30; Debate Council, ' 29- ' 30;; Merry Makers, ' 29- ' 30; President Glee Club, ' 29; Advertising Manaffer Glee Club, ' 30; Class His- torian; President Student Council; Ministerial Band, President, ' 30, Corresponding Secretary, ' 30. Many of the honors of our class have gone to Bill, but he rightfully deserves them. He never has a set rule by which to do anything but has a distinct way of his own. He cannot be surpassed when it comes to wit, He has a personality that will in all cases fit. He is a ready mixer with all. but especially with the fairer sex, and to be sure his motto is To live, love and laugh. His persistence and ability are sure to bring him successs in whatever he under- takes, be it running for President or what-not. Edith Moore Wagg Ed Rutherford College, N. C. Victorian Literary Society, President, ' 29; Glee Club. ' 30; Dramatic Club, ' 30; Girls ' Basketball team. If one has the blues, Ed ' s company is to be desired, for she seems to possess some sort of magical charm by which blues are dispelled instantly. Her quick wit, ready smile, and pleasing personality have made for her a host of friends at Rutherford . On the basketball court Ed was a star, and her active part in the many college activities has placed her in a place of distinction which can never be filled by another. Walter Ralph Whitley Whit Kannapolis, N. C. Newtonian Literary Society, President, ' 30. Critic ' 30; Sport Editor RECTANGLE, ' 29; Editor-in- Chief RECTANGLE, ' 30; Art Editor The FOOT HILLS. A quiet step, a smile and then Whit. Is he re- served? No, in this respect he keeps a happy medium. A true sport, a friendly fellow, a good student — combine these and you have Whit. As a friend he is ever loyal and sincere. As a student, he has a great love for the higher arts, especially artistic drawing. He has been a help to our class in many ways, but perhaps most of all by being Editor-in-Chief of th- RECTANGLE, and too, by being Art Editor of The FOOT HILLS. We predict a great and distinguished future for him. f rwTviwivnrivi ' viviiirw
