DEDICATION 



rle is a civic leader, a lawyer, a business execu- 
tive, a scholar, an educator, and a friend of High 
Point College. Because we think ot him as a 
successful personality, — a man who has made 
the most of his opportunities and whose achieve- 
ments are evidence enough that he has been true 
to the ideals that college students on all college 
campuses hold to be the highest, we respectfully 
dedicate the 1935 Zenith to

Tower-top, pigeon's eye view of campus 
life ; a panorama or all that High Point 
College means to us — of limping basketball 
heroes . . . chem lab odors . . . mixed bar- 
room melodies from McCulloch . . . cars 
passing on the highway . , . "peanuts for 
sale" in the lobby . . ■ ten o clock bell at 
Woman's . . . cocky-capped freshmen . ■ . 
the gym scoreboard , , . Coach's "Hi-Po" 
blowing about in the wind . . . pipe-smoke 
and talk and sandwiches at the Store , . , 
the fountain looking aimless; Sunday after- 
noon strollers . . . bulletin board gazers . . . 
and thumb-hoisting star gazers . . . the 
eagerly awaited postman; Old Yadkin's 
victory ring . . . Roberts Hall about sun- 
down , . . the tall gates through which we 
entered and through which we shall leave. 
These — and all the other glimpses that 
may suggest rare, rich college days.

FINALE 

THE class that came to High Point College in 1931 was the best class that had ever 
registered at this institution. There were not, nor should there be, any apologies. 
We found out later that they flattered every class every year with the same remark. 
Whatever our deeper convictions may be, we shall modestly admit that we were only an 
average group with high aspirations for improvement and achievement. It is true that 
great things come in small packages; the package that is our class has grown smaller 
with the years and has, we realize, rather decreased than increased in value. To phrase 
it in old tried and true language, the proverbial ship (the class, of course) has lost many 
of its ablest hands. Although there are fewer sailors on board, the ship is still in smooth 
sailing. It is ready now to make port, not because the crew is too weak to man the old 
vessel but because the welcome land is in sight. (Indeed the land is welcome, yet why do 
we grieve? From salty seas to salty tears — ) 

Since figures of speech are in order (see above) and all true-to-form class histories 
must somehow manage to refer to an army at war, may we continue to confuse our 
metaphors by suggesting that the Class of 1935 has had its war on the seas? Our pirate 
foes are the same creatures that always attack college cruisers. We met our share of 
opposing forces of valences, bisections, Beowulfs, Renaissances, logarithms, and dates 
(the Dr. Kennett or the regulated "skirt barn" variety — as you liked them or as you 
didn't) . The most distressing fact that we have come to realize is that we have acquired 
a kind of affection for those apparent enemies and are loath to declare the final victory. 
Perhaps if we absorb those conventional end-of-the-season lectures that are bound to 
assure us that we are on the threshold of life's door and that we are only beginning, we 
may see that this victory is not so truly final — that we may look forward to many another 
worthy battle. 

Perhaps, after all, we have not really done spectacular things. It is more important 
that we have accomplished something memorable in our lives; that we have partaken of 
something that we leave as a heritage to the classmen who follow us. We cherish in 
memory these four years, our associations, our accomplishments (and dare we say even 
the demerits or the memory of their cause?) We wish to acknowledge with sincerest 
gratitude the inspiration and help of our class adviser, Mrs. White. We express similarly 
our appreciation of a most understanding and inspiring faculty. 

It will be with a mingled feeling of sentiment, of regret, and of joy that we receive our 
diplomas in May. As a class we shall have reached a certain height together. As in- 
dividuals we shall cherish our own memories of the years. And individually and together 
we shall anticipate the Future, equipped with all it has been our privilege to have gained.

Unquestionably, the Junior Class has done things this year. The three-mile post 
(tritely put, of course) has been reached and the class is already a bit proud of its 
accomplishments. Another year, sav the Juniors, and we'll — 

Well, consider what the Class of '36 has contributed to the College in the past 
eight months, and perhaps any boast will not seem too extravagant. 

Alpha — a large share in Harrison Gymnasium's invaluable new heating system. 

Beta — that mad, merry Fall Carnival when Becky Kearns was crowned College 
Queen and Kermit Cloniger was dubbed "the power behind the throne". 

Gamma — a gay spring cabaret. 

Delta — the Junior-Senior in April, Positively the banquet to end banquets. 

Giving orchids whrre orchids are due, the fragrant blooms this year go to all the 
officers — particularly to Lois Hedgecock, busy chairman of the executive committee 
and to President Cloniger — as well as to Professor Mourane, the private patron saint 
ut the junior Class.

ATHLETICS 




C. Virgil Vow 

('nil i I, 

The ability to work with men, the 
determination to win, regardless of 
the odds, the power to imbue his men 
with his own spirit of determination 
and fine sportsmanship — these qual- 
ities have distinguished Conch Yow 
as an outstanding athletic mentor. 



ATHLETIC 
ASSOCIATION 

All athletics at the Col lege are under the con- 
trol or the Athletic Association. This group, 
guided by Dr. C. R. Hinshaw as president, has 
provided a well-rounded athletic program for 
the College — one that rates near the top among 
the other colleges of the North State Con- 
ference. 

The Athletic Council supervises the schedul- 
ing of all games, the determining of the eligi- 
bility of players, and the enforcement of all 
conference rules. The Council also awards all 
athletic monograms. 

The Association has so directed athletics at 
the College that the fundamental aims and pur- 
poses back of all its programs have been and 
will continue to be realized — namely, that all 
participants may be trained in initiative, self- 
con ttol, cooperation, and fine sportsmanship, 
and that a fine, wholesome college spirit may 
prevail.

BASKETBALL 



Taking second honors in the North State Conference and winning two victories over 
Big Five teams, the Purple Panther basketeers finished another successful season under 
the tutelage of Coach C. Virgil Yow. 

The Elon Christians proved to be the main obstacle in the Panthers' march toward 
the conference title. After winning the first five conference tilts, the Yowmen fell before 
the Christians twice in one week to give the championship to Coach Walker's boys. The 
old jinx held good again in the contests with Guilford as the Quakers came out on top 
in both the loop tilts. Elon and Guilford were the only teams able to beat the High Point 
club this year. 

The Panthers won 18 out of 22 g:imes played. Thirteen 

^^Mt were conference tilts while the others were with "Y" clubs 

r t, and industrial teams. The Panthets won nine loop games and 

dropped four to Elon and Guilford. A total of fourteen 

different teams were played, two of which belonged to the 

Big Five. The outcome of the two contests with Davidson 

; and Wake Forest, in which the Panthers were victorious, was 

\ a surprise to basketball fans throughout the State. 

Men who saw action in the 1935 line-up are shown in the

The Panthers conquered E. C, T. C. and A, C. C. in the first inter-collegiate matches 
on the opponents' courts. The following week a trip to the western part of the State 
netted three more victories to give them first place in the conference standings 

The Panthers won their first home game from W, C. T. C. and rhen lost to Elon on 
the Elon court for the first defeat of the season. Returning to the home court for two 
weeks, the scrappy basketeers won seven games and lost 
two, defeating the strong Wake Forest and Davidson teams 
and losing to Elon and Guilford.

PURPLE KITTENS 

Tile Purple Kittens squad, composed of players who were not quite good enough to 
get on the varsity, enjoyed a very successful season this year. Coach Yow spent quite ,i 
bit of time with the Kittens, coiching and drilling them in the fundamentals of the game. 
All of the Kittens were first year men, hence, they had had no previous experience in 
college ball. Coach has hopes of adding to the strength of the Panther squad next year 
!rom tins year's, Kitten material. 

Grigg, scrappy freshman from near Shelby, has plenty of the old fighting spirit — 
always going after the ball with the zest that bespeaks a determination to win. He 
should develop into a valuable man. 

Shannon, flashy little forward from "down east", is another freshman who should see 
plenty of varsity action in the ncxi three years. Shannon shows unusual speed and 
accuracy in passing and shooting. 

Morris comes to us from Denton. Calmness, speed, and dependability characterize 
him. We expect him to develop into one of our most dangerous Panthers before be 
reaches for his sheepskin in '38. 

Rogers, tall, lanky center from Henderson, proved himself to be a mainstay in the 
Kitten lineup, and we are depending on him to develop into a first-rate pivot man. 

Other prospects on the Kitten squad were Kearns, Brinkley, Watkins, Barr, Jones, 
and Watson. 

The men in the above group are: (front row) Alton Hartman, Manager; Watkins, 
Morris, Grigg, Barr, and Gibbs, Assistant Manager; (back tow) Shannon, Jones, 
Brinkley, and Watson.

SOCCER 

The Purple Panther shin-busters held their own again this year to boost their non- 
defeat record to five consecutive years. Out of nine games played this season the 
Panthers won eight and tied one with Duke. 

Considerable interest has been displayed in soccer here at the College especially since 
football was abandoned several years ago. So great has been this interest that steps have 
been taken to introduce soccer as a major sport in the North State Conference. It is now 
considered a major sport at High Point and has become the chief item of the fall 
athletic program. 

The prolonged success of the soccer team is due largely to Broadus Culler, student 
coach. His efficient coaching and outstanding offensive play have been prime factors in 
making the team recognized as one of the best in the State. 

Captain Byrum and Manager Davis are also worthy of a considerable amount of 
praise. Byrum will be missed in the line-up next year, but Davis is expected to form an 
important cog in the 1935 machine cy. Two other men who were seen in action for the 
last time this year are Yount and Jones.

BASEBALL 

High Point's baseball representatives of 1934 whip- 
ped through to second place in the North State Confer- 
ence, with Elon slipping into first. The Panther team 
took thirteen games and lost seven for the best season 
since inter-collegiate baseball competition was started in 
1933. 

The first three games of the season were dropped to 
Elon, Catawba, and Western Carolina Teachers, but 
were followed up by a winning streak of eight con- 
secutives. The Lenoir-Rhyne Bears put a stop to this 
victory march by handing the Panthers a severe defeat 
on May 1. However, the next day the Purple base- 
runners came back to take a double-header from 
Atlantic Christian and tie with Elon for first place. 
In a. return game, Elon eked out a close victory over 
the Panthers to take the lead in the titular race. High 
Point took the next two games from the Catawba 
Indians and the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears, but bowed to 
Catawba in the last two games of the season, to finish 
in second place. 

Sherrill was star hurler, having won eleven out of 
his fourteen games, Rudisill, the team's only left- 
hander, saw very little action on account of an injured 
arm, but will catch plenty of mound duty this spring, 
since Captain Sherrill will be shifted to the outfield 
for rests now and then. Diamont, Culler, Hight, 
Dorsett, and Ingle will be seen in action again this 
year.

At High Point College tennis has become one of 
the outstanding sports among the students, both in in- 
terest and activity. Last fall the men's tournament 
created much interest and simultaneously revealed 
some choice ability in the freshmen. Frank Niernsee, 
a first-year man, battered his way to the top round 
in the singles and with the aid of Larry Yount, vet- 
eran netman, succeeded in capturing the doubles 
crown by defeating the Primm-Cloniger duo. Wilson 
Rogers and Humphreys, sophomores, Cary Wright 
and Gray, freshmen, turned in stellar performances, 
but could not withstand the steady fire of Niernsee 
in the singles tournament, nor the overwhelming op- 
position of Yount and Niernsee in the doubles race. 
Last year the Panther netmen took Elon and Western 
Carolina Teachers into camp, but bowed twice to 
Lenoir-Rhyne and once to Appalachian. The defeat 
of Elon marked the first win of the season and the 
first victory in inter-collegiate competition at High 
Point College. 

With improved courts and a variety of material, 
Coach Yarborough hopes to build a team that will 
make a definite bid for conference leadership this 
Spring.

WOMAN'S SPORTS COUNCIL 

T lie newly organized Woman s Sports Association of High Point Collect- is repre- 
sented by a governing board composed of the officers of the Association antl all the vari- 
ous sports managers. 

General affairs of the girls' athletics club are carried on by this selected group 
known as the Sports Council. The Council looks after such routine duties as the nom- 
ination of officers, the selection of Pledge Week, and the awarding of honors. When 
there is apparently enough interest shown in a new sport, it is the duty of the govern- 
ing board to organize that sport on the campus. 

At the end of each semester the Sports Council must thumb the files in Dr. Ken- 
nett's office to find the scholastic records of individual Association members, and to 
make sure that no candidate for a class team falls below a "C" average. Finally, it 
is the purpose of the Conned to see that the fundamental aims of the entire Associa- 
tion are carried out, and to recommend to the society worthwhile activities. 

Officers who served on the Woman's Sports Council during the past year: 

Dorothy Perry President

WOMAN'S SPORTS ASSOCIATION 



Women's sports are something more this year than attractive lavender costumes and 
lively exhibitions of "ye oldc folke dances." Since the formation of a local chapter of 
the Woman's Sport Association, there has been a renewed interest in co-ed athletics. 
1 he new organization, national in scope, opens its membership to all girls and faculty 
members who care to participate in sports. Its general purpose is to develop a program 
of athletics that will provide both wholesome recreation and practical training. 
Specifically, the Association sponsors all infra-mural contests and supervises all competi- 
tions in women's sports. 

Soon after its foundation here, the new organization promoted a volley ball tourna- 
ment that brought more than half of the co-eds out for the competing class teams. 
With tlie close of the fall season, basketball became the popular sport and the various 
teams were rivals for the College championship, decided bv a series of contests in 
February. On the sports calendar for Spring were baseball and tennis tournaments. 
The new program has also featured throughout the year, tumbling, tap-dancing, and 
hikes (both the plain and the breakfast variety). 

To recognize individual achievement in athletics, the Woman's Sports Association 
awards points for participation in its various activities. lo win an ill 1 letter, five 
hundred points is the requirement; a girl may win the coveted HP sweater by earning 
two thousand points. 

To the class whose teams have the highest percentage rating. Miss Sidney Brame 
awards a loving cup at the end of the year. 

It is the further project of the Association to work hand in hand with the Admin- 
istration in an effort to establish a department in the College that may in the near 
future award to candidates the B.S. degree in physical education.

VOLLEY BALL 

High Point co-eds do not have any opportunity to participate in inter-collegiate 
flames. But they are quite willing to leave all athletic exhibitions up to the brawny 
Panthers if they may enjoy the lively mtra-mural games that have been initiated this 
year. 

Fall sports for the College girls begin in earnest when volley ball begins. Almost 
any afternoon during the crisp autumn days a number of lavender-clad players may 
be seen scurrying about on the breezy court back of Woman's Hall. All this enthusiasm 
nivalis heavy practice in prep.-. ration tor the hotly-contested November tournament. 

Class competition during the past season was particularly keen. With a wealth of 
hopeful candidates seeking team positions, it was very easy to select four efficient groups 
of volley ball players of true point-making ability. 

Naturally after months of ardent training a great deal of interest was shown in the 
championship play in November. Though having encountered some lively competition, 
the Sophomores emerged victorious. Final scores were ; 

Freshmen 43 ; Juniors 27 

Sophomores 34; Juniors 27 

Sophomores 25; Freshmen .13 

The following are the members of the 1934 championship team as they appear in 
the above group: (back row) Vesta Troxler, Becky Kearns, Fay Holt, In/.a Hill, and 
Josie McNeill; (front row) Jo Williams, Margaret Dixon, Pauline Parker, and 
Mabel Koontz.

BASKETBALL 

The same ardent gum-chewing fans who perch high on the boards and supply the 
soprano shrieks at the ball games, are themselves quite adept in the art of basket-making. 
When the Davidson -de pie ting Panthers are not about rheir haunts, Miss Brame's students 
invade Harrison Gymnasium and cavort about the basketball courts to their heart's con- 
tent. This is not to say that the co-eds do not take their basketball seriously. For doubt- 
less if they too could engage in inter-collegiate games the Lavender Kittens would make 
a strong bid for any championship. According to the co-ed coach, games during the past 
season revealed that there are many players of exceptional talent. 

With the advent of spring and the interest in baseball stirring, the girls locked up 
their basketballs and deserted the courts — but not until they had finished the annual 
inter-class tournament that brought championship honors to the Freshman team after 
their defeat of the Juniors and Seniors. 

In the accompanying picture may be seen a representative group of Miss Brame's 
ablest basketeers. They have been selected from the three lower classes. 

The players are: {front row) Dorothy Perry, Lillian Varner, Vesta Troxler, Marjorie 
Hlkins, Margaret Dixon, and Pauline Parker; (back row) Rebecca Kearns, Josephine 
Williams, Vera York, Katherine Bivins, Pattie Hendrick, Helen Dameron, and Fay Holt.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT 

Student government at High Point College is only an infant; it is just learning to walk, but 
its possibilities are many and varied. The student government movement came as tile result of a 
sincere desire on the part of the student body to have a voice in its own discipline. There was 
a need for a centralizing, unifying force on the campus, and a student government, vested ill a 
student council elected by the students, was the only logical answer. 

Since its inauguration in 1953 it has gone far towards fulfilling its purpose. It has promoted 
proper conduct and worthwhile attitudes among the students; hut it has not forced these attitudes 
and this conduct. Instead it has held them up as ideals. It has founded an Honor System and 
ha> had tin- sati^-facii I H'cing thai >>steii) mirk reasonably well. Finally, It has been instru- 
mental in leading the students towards an enthusiastic, loyal school spirit,

PUBLICATIONS BOARD 



The Publications Board is the governing body for the publications on the High Point 
College campus. Its duties are very few, other than endeavoring to enforce its iron-clad 
regulations, to promote harmony between the Zenith and THE HI-PO, and to supervise 
the signing of contracts and appointments to the two boards. 

Last year the board went on a "legislative spree" and passed a group of regulations 
for the purpose of strengthening and adding to the prestige of the two publications of the 
College by creating a closer feeling, cooperation, and fellowship between the two staffs; 
by fostering the student's loyalty to his respective board; and by dividing the responsibility 
and honors more evenly among the Students. Some of the regulations stated that no 
student at the College shall be a member of both the Zenith and THE Hl-PO Staffs; 
that in case a member of one or the other of the two staffs receives an offer for a 
position on the other board, he shall at once declare his ineligibility and withdraw; that 
no member of either board who resigns from that board or is dropped from membership 
shall during his full time at the College become a member of the other board; and that 
all photographs and cuts of each board shall be available to the other without cost or 
delay. Fortunately, these regulations stipulate that they may be set aside in case of an 
emergency. 

The membership of the board consists of the Editors and Managers of the two 
publications, the Adviser to the Zenith, the President of the Senior Class, and a chair- 
man appointed by President Humphreys.

THE ZENITH 

Only those who are experienced in the Annual field 
can truly appreciate the difficulties and disappoint- 
ments that a staff experiences in the evolution of a 
yearbook from a chaotic conglomeration of ideas into 
a concrete finished work that is regarded by the 
average man as a pretty picture book. Rest assured 
that we have given our best, and in so doing have 
experienced our share of difficulties and heart-rending 
disappointments. 

This year we have enlarged the book slightly and 
abandoned the standard cover in order to give you 
something different. The loose theme is merely a 
medium rhrough which we have endeavored to portray 
campus life to you more fully. 

Allow us to express our sincerest appreciation to 
W. A. Daniel, M. F. Dunbar, Tom Daniel, and 
Herbert Hitch for their personal interest and counsel. 
To you, students, we offer thanks for your unfailing 
cooperation, and hope that the 1935 TLenith pleases 
you. Burt Asbury.

THE HI-PO STAFF 

Striving always to present imp.irtiallv th.it which 
the student body desires, THE HI-PO feels that this 
year it has come the closest to that peak of news 
d is :e mi nation desired by every college paper chat it 
has done since it was first established in 1926. 

The aim of THE Hl-PO has been two-fold: first, 
to present impartially all news of student interest; 
second, to drive, editorially, for a better High Point 
College. 

We believe that throughout the entire year THE 
Hl-PO has told the student body what it wanted to 
know as soon as possible. News coverage has been 
complete because and only because of the whole- 
hearted cooperation of an enthusiastic, active board. 

The editorial policy of the paper has without ex- 
ception been constructive. Much improvement has 
been made; we believe that it was motivated by THE 
Hl-PO. We rest our case.

Miss Margaret Sloan 
Director 



Through her kindness, patience, 
and perseverance, Miss Sloan has 
endeared herself to the members of 
her choir and taught them an ap- 
preciation of the art and beauty in 
group singing. 



A CAPELLA CHOIR 



The A Cape! la Choir was organized six years 
ago and since that time has achieved recog- 
nition as being one of the few A Capella 
Choirs of musical prominence in America. Its 
membership is limited to thirty-five voices, due 
to the fact that its extensive travels will not 
permit a larger number. A limited number of 
new singers is admitted each year in order to 
fill the vacancies of those who have graduated 
and to replace those whose ability does not 
measure up to the standard of the group. 
Examinations are given just as in academic 
courses and those passing are given three credit 
hours for the year's work. An annual northern 
tour is made of the prominent cities of the 
North with part of the trip being made on 
water. An annual tour of the Southern states 
and Cuba is also made along with week-end 
trips to different sections of North Carolina 
and adjacent states.

A CAPELLA CHOIR 

It might be well to recall some of the hippen- 
mgs on the northern tour last year lest we forget 
such an incident as singing in the Hall of Fame 
at the Nation's capitol. You probably remember 
being an hour late for the concert in Wilmington, 
Delaware, tired and hungry, yet comfotted by the 
fact that not a soul had become tired of waiting 
and gone home. Remember how FVhbel Dix sucked 
lemons for two days before we crossed the 
Chesapeake in order to ward off seasickness, and, 
on the same voyage, Furmin Wright was con- 
vinced that he saw a whale? 

In time, we may forget some of these incidents, 
but there is one thing that will always remain 
foremost in our memory — that is the work of 
N. M. Harrison, Promotional Secretary, Were 
it not for him, the Choir might have never re- 
ceived the nation-wide acclaim that it now enjoys 
and its members might not have been privileged to 
travel extensively. We realize our indebtedness to 
him and express our sincere appreciation.

LITTLE THEATRE 

Dramatic work at High Point is represented by the Little Theatre, now celebrating 
its second anniversary. Although the Little Theatre is not yet fully equipped, it has 
as its purpose the development of a strong organization that will be in the future even 
more the center of dramatic activities at the College. 

Last year the artistic productions of the Laboratory Class in Drama were favorably 
received by some of the ablest dramatic critics in the State. Despite the fact that the 
department was handicapped by the lack of technical facilities, the few who worked 
daj and night in the old Tower room with hammer and paint brush were able to stage 
performances that were declared outstanding. 

Thus, with the foundations of an active organization already laid, the Little 1 heat re 
has undertaken to do a great deal this year. Under the direction of John M. Erickson, 
the Laboratory jirimp, assisted hv other interested students, has attempted an ambitious 
program of worthwhile plays for the College audiences. 

The fall season began with "Dulcy' , with Pauline Parker in the leading character 
role of a talkative young wife who creates one difficulty after another with her "harm- 
less" chatter. 

In January posters on the campus announced Richard Sheridan's famous period 
play, "The School for Scandal" — "a laugh hit for two centuries". Dressed in vivid 
costumes of silk and velvet, a large cast of snuff-sniffing gentlemen and proud, cruel 
ladies gossiped in the typicalh hnllian: and sparkling seventeenth centurj manner about 
their friends and acquaintances. The scenery, constructed by Professor Rulfs and his 
student workers, -was impressionistic. 

The spring season included the efforts of the Speech Class — a short comedy and 
skits that were presented at a local theatre. 

Perhaps the climax of the year's dramatic work came with the inevitable Senior 
Play — the class of 1935 having as its contribution the mystery melodrama, "Three 
Taps at Twelve".

TENTH ANNIVERSARY 

SINCE High Point College is celebrating this year its tenth anniversary, it is well 
that we review some of its brief history and refresh our minds with the efforts and 
sacrifices of those responsible for its existence. 

High Point College had its beginning in the mind of Rev. J. F. McCuIloch, D.D., 
a native of Guilford County, North Carolina, and a graduate of Adrian College, 
Adrian, Michigan. Several years after his graduation he returned to North Carolina 
with the conviction that the North Carolina Methodist Protestant Conference should 
establish within her borders a high grade college. With this purpose in mind he visited 
the Annual Conference at La Grange in 1893 and presented his ideas so well that a 
committee was appointed to investigate, and if possible, to provide means for building 
a college. No sooner had the committee begun its work than it found that the church 
in North Carolina had no need for such an institution. Whereupon, Dr. McCuIloch 
set about to establish a church paper in order that his views, along with other college 
propaganda, might be put into the homes of the members of the Methodist Protestant 
Church. 

Accordingly, the Church Record was established ; the name was later changed to the 
Methodist Protestant Herald. A lot was purchased in the city of Greensboro and a 
building erected upon it. The proceeds from the sale of this property, which had 
greatly increased in value, became a great asset to the college enterprise. 

The college enterprise really began to take shape when Mr. J. C. Roberts of 
Kernersville provided in his will a gift of $10,000 if the college should be built by 1920 ; 
otherwise, the gift was to be used for educating young men preparing for the ministry. 
The gjft created considerable interest in the college project and when the buildings 
were erected, the administration building was named in his honor. 

At the Annual Conference in Enfield in 1920, a committee was appointed to 
inaugurate a campaign for funds and another was appointed to work with the architect 
in drawing up plans for the institution. 

Several cities, notably High Point, Burlington and Greensboro, offered special 
inducements for location. After much consideration High Point, which had agreed to 
give a large tract of land and an additional $100,000, was selected. 

The cornerstone of the first building, Roberts Hall, was laid on June 29, 1922; 
and the first class matriculated September 15, 1924. This class was composed of 
fifteen students coming from other colleges and registering as Sophomores. The first 
Freshman class numbered 101. And there were several special students bringing the 
total registration up to 132. 

Dr. R. M. Andrews, who had served as Field Agent during the campaign for funds 
and as a member of the building committee during the construction of the college, 
became the first president. After his resignation in 1930, Rev. Gideon I. Humphreys 
was elected by the Board of Trustees as his successor. 

The sea of red mud which existed in 1924 has gradually been turned into a beautiful, 
grassy campus, and a new gymnasium has been erected through the efforts of N. M. 
Harrison, Promotional Secretary. 

High Point College successfully weathered the storm of the depression while other 
colleges with much better financial foundations were forced to close. Since it has 
overcome the obstacles of its first ten years of existence, High Point College may 
rightfully expect much from the future.

She'd rush to her room 

For a touch of perfume 

Or to straighten a

Then she'd pick up a

Give a glance or a look, 
When back down tine

It was a few minutes

When at last, at last

SEPTEMBER 

Someone leaves open the front door of Roberts 
Hall on the morning of September 11. The halls 
are overflowing with strange wide-eyed creatures 
that drift in. Alma Mater claims them for her 
own. She dries their tears, registers them, orients 
them with no end of parties, blesses them and calls 
them "My Freshmen." 

Three days later the upperclassmen stroll in 
leisurely to register and are amazed to hear the 
Class of '38 discussing "skirt barn" possibilities in 
manner most familiar. "Shades of C. R.!!" is the 
newest phrase on the campus. 

Classes begin at 8:30 A.M. on the fourteenth. 
"Which one is Miss Wilmington?" is the big ques- 
tion of the day. Everybody knows the answer by 
8:30 P.M. 

The usual initiation schemes make the freshmen 
aware of their humble station by way of hair 
ribbons, pig-tails, "rat" signs, confused make-up, 
and garish garb for the co-eds; buckets, rolled pant 
legs, wholesale paddlings and painful peek-a-boo 
games for the lads. 

Everybody is introduced to the faculty and vice- 
versa at the faculty reception. Four new faces 
are noted in the receiving line — two begoggled 
ones, one be-mustached one and another rather 
cherubic one. 

Everyone is dined and picnicked over and over 
again (at the City Lake mostly) by scads of gov- 
ernments and literary societies and things. 

Freshmen don cunning purple caps and upper- 
classmen turn green with envy. 

Harvest moon complains of too much compe- 
tition from the Roberts Hall-Girls' Dorm string 
of lights. 



OCTOBER 

Hectic rush days are going on and on — hot dogs 
and teas on and on 

Until the night of the fifth when rushees decide 
whether to join or not to join and if so which one 
to join or not to join. 

Theta Phis convert the dining room into the 
Candle Night Club. Gambling tables and bars 
are the order of the night. Whoops! 

Student body has fun and ice cream at the 
M. P. Church reception. 

Dr. Bowen lectures to a garden club on the 
lowest forms of life. 

Mrs. White and the Senior girls serve tea for 
the College brides. 

The Juniors stage a carnival. Becky is made 
Queen of the Fall. Page Kermit! Never mind. 

Hallowe'en party a howling success. 

NOVEMBER 

The Lab presents "Dulcy" to a fair-sized audi- 
ence in fairish manner. 

An autumn Saturday and students sigh for the 
old days when we had a football team, too. 

The HI-PO plays host to the North Carolina 
Collegiate Press Association and entertains royally 
with banquets and a merry dance or two. Place: 
Sheraton Hotel. 

Cheers and cheers for the Sophomore co-eds 
who win the volley ball tournament. 

Hill Saunders is made Freshman president. 

Leo Pittard is chosen president of the Ministerial 
Association in session here. 

"Haven't things changed?" the old grads chime 
in unison.

The Zenith rushes madly, madly to press. 

APRIL 

Brings the usual things. Flowers, show- 
ers, investiture services, the Junior-Senior 
banquet, baseball, Easter holidays, and choir 
trips galore and galorious. 

MAY 

Brings all things usual and unusual. 
Rushy days, violent cases of spring fever 
and wanderlust, another lyceum program, 
Thalean-Nikanthan Anniversary Day, mote 
baseball, more choir trips, more and more 
banquets and farewell frolics, the Zenith, 
elections, examinations — Commencement! ! ! ! 

There is nothing more to say, 

So we must close — but by the way — 

Perhaps we'll meet Home-Coming Day. 

P.S. — Hasn't everything been fun? Adieu, 
adieu. 



THE 



HIGH POINT, THOMASVILLE & DENTON 
RAILROAD COMPANY 



Is an outstanding example of accomplishment as the result of 
co-operation and steady hard work. Large or small, any com- 
munity thrives only when there is co-operation and a general 

spirit of service. 



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.
