Of few years e/qo Jttqh Jrobii siaqea OM elaborate 1 aqeant
of 1 regress, which was photoqraphee) ant) written a boat in
movlnq picture weeklies ana newspapers throughout the LfniteJ
States. Of stranqe feature about this paqeanl was that many
costumes ana carriages, coaches ana other ancient equipaqes
use J were found in the community; in fact there were actors
that took part who could remember nearly even/ epoch from
slave uays until the present time.

APID progress — progress
that you can see and almost
feel is the progress of High Point
and the richly developing Pied-
mont district which surrounds it.
Nowhere in the entire Southland
is a pageant of industrial and
modern community development
being more sanely nor more
soundly progressive today. Take
for example the city of fifty years
ago. A typical post-war com-
munity of some few hundred
people, growing their tobacco
and cotton by primitive methods.

S HESE -people gathered
around the crossroads store
in High Point to see the local
come in and the stage pass over
the old plank road to the North
and South. High Point was so
named because it was the highest
point on the original North
Carolina Railroad, which ran
from Goldsboro to Charlotte.
Today this road is a section of
the double track, main line of the
great Southern System — Wash-
ington to New Orleans.

False Face Men

Hear that laugkt See that smiltf

Sure — they're meant with all sincerity.
Gee, doesn't that guy ad tough.

And that our ever so melancholy.

John — -he's always joking

And Hen just always u'rrarkin' ;

Fritz, he likes to talk a lot.
And Joe, he just sez nothing.

Those men, those false face men.

Don't you see them routing mid going.'
Always trying to find a neve face

A menus and avenue of escape.

Some with ever changing j net-
So me stolid — -the same in every case.

Others put on a lot of grace

While other always, are just out of
fiat < .

Si or us and tales of wot could be told,
Of disappointments, failure, and sor-
row.

Chapters in life that will ever hold
The yester years for the morrow.

Oh those men, those false face men.
Don't you see them coming and go-

CLASS HISTORY

T^HE autumn of 1930 brought us to High Point College, a harvest

of 86 Freshmen mellow with experiences of high school days and
ripe for farther progress along the "Royal Road to Leaning," although
some insist that there is no such road. We newcomers cast our lot with
High Point College at the same time that Dr. Humphreys began his
administration, and thus we have reached baccalaureate maturity under
his guidance.

With gathering momentum the educational mill started grinding,
softening the asperities of the raw material destined to acquire the
polish of learning. The first revolutions of the mill had scarcely been
completed when we elected Donald Helmick as president and Miss Idol
was chosen as our class advisor.

Ground between the upper and nether millstones of the depression
and the vicissitudes of life as Freshmen, we returned to college the
following year as Sophomores and enjoyed the rights and privileges of
upperclassmen. The miller had exacted his toll from our ranks, and
Miss Idols absence caused our choice of Mr. Garrett as advisor. John
Taylor was elected president.

In our Junior year the milling was easier, since we were accustomed
to the process and were finding our proper grooves in the machine.
Joe Coble was our president and Miss Idol had returned as our advisor.
The mill seemed to turn faster as Senior days approached, and we
were soon numbering rhe days before our race was run.

We chose Robert Williams as our president for the last year. Miss
Idol was ill, and Mr. Yarborough took her place as our advisor. The
mill increased its speed to the maximum as we came to our last days
as students.

Now that the grinding has ceased, a startling and bewildering
silence reigns, but not for long, for we are even now caught up in the
Mill of Life.

(*^p)WENTY'PIVE years later
^— at the dawn of the twen-
tieth century we find a lively
little industrial community has
sprung up, principally active in
furniture and woodworking lines.
Drawing on natural hardwood
resources these enterprises were
manufacturing and shipping to a
wide territory. Money began
coming back to town and the vi-
sion of the people was broaden-
ing. Ten years later, in 1910,
we find the movement of the tex-
tile industry southward.

A CAPELLA CHOIR

The Choir, under the direction of Mi>s Margaret Sloan, is composed
of approximately fifty voices. This organization has traveled extensively
during the past three years and has won the approval and appraisal ot
musk lovers throughout eastern United States, Critics have lauded the
presentation of the music, the perfect blending of voices, and the ar-
tistic interpretation of each selection.

There are only a few trained voices in the choir, the majority being
untrained and inexperienced, yet, under the able leadership of Miss
Sloan, they have been blended into striking uniformity, and taught the
fullest appreciation of each composition.

The choir in itself is unique, since there are only two other or-
ganizations of this kind in the State of North Carolina. It has af-
forded those who have heard it, a joyous renaissance of spirit ; and those
who have participated, a deeper appreciation of the beauty in music.

ORGANIZATIONS

WITH organizations some twenty-eight strong, and officials making up a staggeiing total
of seventy-two, the innocent onlooker might be tempted to make shirring remarks. Such
remarks, however, would indeed lit- unjust.

Practically every vocation known ro man, with the possible exception of horticulture, lias a
representative organization on the campus. Athletics, government, business, the stage, journalism,
social work, music, art, literary activities, forensic — each has its followers and its leader--, to
whom we give praise and appreciation. Not only have the various groups organized, but they
have functioned and functioned well— a truly remarkable feat when the number is considered.

The athletic teams deserve the highest of praises. Handicapped in many instances, they have
nevertheless given the student body just cause for pride in their ability and sportsmanship. Their
efforts have not always been covered with the laurel of victory, but their defeats have been
honorable and we have no reason for censure.

The various student governing bodies have turned in a splendid record. Three governing
bodies on the campus, each functioning smoothly and efficiently and even more, harmoniously.
With efficient leaders, a cooperative student body, and a thinking faculty, failure was impossible.
Allah be praised!

In the realm of theatrical work we must pause for moment and mentally pat ourselves on
the back. Albeit, we have not uncovered a potential Greta Garho (humbly grateful) not a John
Barrymore (doubt), but we have presented several very excel I ecu productions. Tin- plavs re-
ceived commendation fnun critirs all nvfi ilc -Mii even rh.ni^U (hi- mti.i^i- vtuilnu was :i rrihV
dazed by the presentation of "Aria da Capo." Not content with merely producing plays, this
little group of enthusiasts have written several plays which in time will be presented.

The journalistic Held has furnished the inspiration for two distinct publications — the news-
paper and the yearbook. The former started the school year with a financial obligation and an
editorial staff of three. Obstacles seem to exist only to be overcome, however, and the Ui-Pf>
has come through with flying colors, holding a place among the leaders in intercollegiate pub-
lications. The Zenith, a member of the North Carolina College Press Association, although
handicapped fay limited funds, is a yearbook which might easily represent a much larger in-
stitution. Congratulations to the Senior Class!

The Y. M C, A., the Y, YV. C. A., Christian Endeavor, and the Ministerial Association
have offered a varied training and programs to those interested in social work. These groups
have accomplished many worthwhile projects in their respective fields and also have shown the
practical side of such work.

For the more aesthetic students, the musical and artistic groups have presented programs
which left nothing to be desired. The choir was unusually successful and the musicals put on
by the choristers afforded great pleasure to both students acid mere citizens. The art class se-
cured for the student body an exhibition of paintings and prints which proved of great interest
to the student body and town people.

The literary societies turned out a goodly crop of debaters and orators. In the realm of
debate, the college was not an outstanding success, but neither was it a failure. The debating
team shows great promise for the future, and losing none this year, the college should be un-
usually successful in next year's tournament. Along oratorical lines, our efforts were marked by
considerable success, taking second place in both the men's and women's division.

The year has been a success so far as the organizations go. Some have risen only to fall,
some have fallen to rise again, while others have plodded steadily along and ultimately achieved
success. As the years roll by may we look back on our favorite groups with feelings of pride-
success or failure — we enjoyed it!

\HIS industry has found
High Point an ideal loca-
tion and an industry paralleling
the rapid growth of furniture
manufacturing has taken firm
root. Today we have a modern
city of over thirty-seven thousand
people; some one hundred and
twenty-five manufacturing plants
representing widely diversified
products, hosiery, textiles, and
furniture predominating. There
are many men in High Point
about whom the romance of

COACH YOW

Coach Yow came to us last year as an alumnus and head basketball coach,
and skillfully triumphed over countless odds to mold a winning team out of
green mate-rial. It was a man-sized task. Even though last year's results did
tint prove to be the acme of perfection, they prophesied inevitable success for him.

This year Coach has done something essentially hig. Not only has he coached
his teams to win, hut also given them something infinitely more valuable — in-
struction in clean sportsmanship and good spirit. Through his ability to work
with men and his unwillingness to admit defeat, he has proven himself valuable
and won the admiration of all who know him.

THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

The Athletic Association, under the guidance of Dr. Hin-
shaw as president, has weathered many a gale. They have had
many problems to work and have come through them with the
wisdom of Solomon. Our entire athletic program has been in-
trusted into the hands of this capable group, and as a result we
find that we have one of the highest rating schools in athletics
in the North State conference. Every year brings something
more interesting and more fascinating to the college. Although

PAGE
78

our football was lost to us last year, track took its place with
great zeal.

Last year the association brought a sport that is more of an
American game than football — baseball. This is our major sport
and we are proving to the opposition that we are not embarrass-
ingly backward in the game.

The schedules have been tutored by the association each year,
hence, we have had schedules that are especially patterned for
the students of the college. In conclusion, the Athletic Asso-
ciation stands for only the highest form of sportsmanship and sets
this forward as their major goal.

BASKETBALL SQUAD

RONYECZ — "Bobo" our sole and only
Pennsylvanian to help us in the des-
perate trial for the championship,
was a great thorn in the side of any-
one who opposed him. He was taken
from the sun ad at the last of the sea-
son with vertebrate trouble, but we'll
watch for him next year.

C» i.i.ir — This little Hash who set
the fastest pace that the Little Six had
seen last year, came back with that
same burst of smoke this year and ran
through the opposition with the grace-
ful rapidity of a sly fox. "Here's
mud in your eye," Broadus.

Shori; — "Tink" came from King, N.
C, and protected his birthright when
it was time for accuracy in passing

and shooting. "Tink" was a Fresh-
man this year and will probably set-
plenty of action before he reaches for
the "sheep-skin" in '37,

Williams — "Pinky" was the pilot
this year and he guided th; team
through a very successful year at that
post. Although he was kept out a
part of the time with injuries, he was
the master of all he surveyed while
playing.

Mil*. 1 •■Tnih'r," win. lives in 1 ligh
Point and boards at the same plan-,
acted as pivot man this year. Hs was
not fortunate or unfortunate enough
to be a tall man, but he "stuck in
there and fought 'em" all the time.

BASKETBALL SQUAD

Diamont — "Chin," playing his first
season with tin- Panthers, developed
into a very valuable man. Speed, ac-
curacy, and calmness helps to sum-
marize Diamont. He could always
take it on the chin and come up for
more.

ROGERS — Coming to us a freshman
this year, he broke into the cage game
with a "bang" and proved himself to
be an oncoming youngster and a good
prospect for next year.

Humphreys — Is one of the few "jug
handles," or left-handers, as they are
sometimes called, that we are hon-
ored with. He was always a mystery
to the opposing clubs. They were

looking for passes from the normal
side, and when that ball came shoot-
ing around the "port side" it was
baffling. Here's to Humphreys, watch

his smoke.

BOOTH — The "crooning" first year
center only had a chance to show his
speed a few times, but he showed us
enough those few times for us to be
depending on him for a great deal in
the next few wars that he will be
with us.

Koonce — Came to us from High
Point and pulled a few tricks out of
the hag. He will probably furnish
us with plenty of thrills before he
picks up the cane of retirement.

Elder — Who has been with us a couple of years is
showing very good prospects as a varsity man. Next
year we will be depending on him to deliver the
goods.

Peeler — The "Lawndale Flash," was hard to keep
an eye on while lie was streaking around the court,
but we took it for granted that he was playing a
straight game. He still has three years to "flash"
around, and is a very likely prospect for a varsity
berth.

Oakley — The "Big Boy" of the mountains came
through with the goods a number of times this year.
Although he was too big to move fast, he furnished
plenty of opposition for the outsiders.

Dyer — Another "Big Boy," only he is from the
Sand Hills, pulled a few tricks out of his sleeve
and showed us what that ball was made for. He
has three more years in which to "strut his stuff."

PURPLE KITTENS

The Purple Kittens had a very successful year in basketball
this year. There was some very promising prospects on the team,
although they were not exactly capable of showing "stuff" Oil the
varsity.

Coach Winnie Reck ran his cagers against some pretty stiff
competition in the various mill teams in the city and came through
with a very successful season with them. Warlick, a flash from
La wiul ale, came through with the goods this year as a Kitten. He
was not eligible for the varsity, coming to us from Appalachian
State Teachers College. We are expecting him to be invincible
next year.

The Yowmen will probably be made stronger next year as
Coach looks over the Kitten material of last year and selects some
of the best material for his big cage cats.

BASEBALL

During the college baseball season of I9J3, the baseball nine of High Point
College won ten games out of the twenty-one played. Considering the fact that this
was the first year of the baseball since 1930, the team did surprisingly well. C raver
and McCachem were the only two men who were in college in 1930, and the team
was composed largely of inexperienced men.

Lee Sherrill carried the burden in the pitcher's box with a little help from some
of his mates, winning six and losing six. He did some excellent pitching, but was
not accorded the support which he should have had. C raver and Culler also pitched
some good games, but they also lacked support, due largely to the greenness of the
team as a whole.

In batting averages Pinkston topped the list with an average of 467. He was
followed in order by Craver, Hryant, Graham, and James.

SOCCER

Soccer very effectively filled the gap made by the absence of football on the athletic
program. High Point College boasts of a men's soccer team undefeated by any college
aggregation. The number of men participating in soccer bespeaks the popularity of
the sport on the campus.

Intramural soccer contests among the girls displayed both interest and ability on
the part of the fairer sex. The class tournament was won by the first year girls with
the seniors giving them some stiff competition.

Utility Service and the Community

More than any other one factor, the quality of its utility services deter-
mines the desirability and attractiveness of a community for business or as a
place in which to live.

In industry and in the home the application of electricity to industrial
and household operations is multiplying the effectiveness of the labor of
the worker and relieving the housekeepers of drudgery and fatigue. And
while it increases the efficiency of the individual, it raises the quality of the
work accomplished as well.

We invite attention to the standard of utility services in the cities in which
we supply these essentials to modern living and modern business.
