foreword
In these years when we are surrounded by
the erimness of war and our utmost efforts must
be expended in doing our share toward winning
first the war and then a lasting peace, it is won-
derful to know that there is still a place where
youth can strive to do all that, and at the same
time play, dance, and be happy. This is our college.
A college year is a thing to be treasured in
the minds of people — young and old — so keep
this book and look at it often now while you
Page 4
are young, and in later years, when you want to
look back over your college days, take it out,
dust it off, and enjoy an hour or two of remin-
iscence
In these pages we, The Staff, hope to capture
some of the memories of your college life which
you will cherish through the years to come. We
have been informal in the arrangement of this
annual, but we are serious in the hope that it
will serve well its purpose — that of bringing to
you a pictorial record of the year.
With this purpose in mind we present to
you your own yearbook — The Zenith of 1944.
The Editor.

To the Student Government go our praises (or a year's work well clone. 1 he officers and the
two representatives from each class serve as a link between the administration and the student
body, and it is through them that our social activities are arranged and our student regulations
formed.
Under the capable leadership of John Perry, who graduated in January, and Willis Gupton,
who was elected to serve as president for the second semester, dances, teas, and formal dinners
have made our social life on the campus delightful.

kitchen to sec how the pie is baking. The oven door opens to reveal a delicately browned apple
pie. The girls (lour seniors this year) gather around to set the table, and prepare one of the
many meals they nave in their six weeks' stay at the large white house on College Drive. Their
routine runs smoothly, and each girl has her own duty in making the Practice House work like
a scientific and modern home.
The girls are well prepared lor penny-pinching and feather dusting with home economics
courses, and the Practice House enables them to put their studies into actual experience, thereby
benefiting by solving practical home problems. Their shining kitchen is an example ot their
efficiency; as Miss Ada Johnson, the home economics instructor, helplully repeats. "Clear as
you go!" Another real evidence of their ability is exemplified by their weekly formal dinners,
which are included in the budget.
In the morning the girls rush down the stairs to fry eggs for breakfast, then to vacuum the
living room, which is really the date room. I hey work hard all day as all good housekeepers
should, but (hey do have plenty of fun, and we suspect, plenty of good food. The girls who are
enjoying the Practice House life are Clarice Hoover, Hortcnse Futrelle, Agnes Wood, and Mar-
garet McNeill.

The Lighted Lamp, the only honor society on the campus,
was organized in 1935 as a joint movement of the faculty and
students to promote higher standards among the student body.
Membership in The Lighted Lamp is the most coveted honor a
student may receive. Students are nominated by the members
and elected by the faculty. Requirements for membership are
based on scholarship, character, service, and leadership. This
honor can come to a student only in his junior or senior year.
His scholastic average must drop no lower than a "B" during
the five preceding semesters, and in his courses he must have
no conditions or failures. Membership in The Lighted Lamp is
an honor few achieve, and those who maintain such standards
in character, leadership, service and scholarship deserve this
honor.

I he most obvious function of the Athletic Council is its direct supervision
over all athletic contests. Less noticeable, but far more important, is its task
of extending the athletic program to every student by means of physical educa-
tional classes and the intramural sports. In order to promote a better intra-
mural program, the Intramural Committee was formed last year. Because of
the war and the ensuing manpower shortage many of the intercollegiate sports
ha\ - e been set aside for the duration; thus have intramurals become even more
important in the extra-curricular life of the college student. It is the Intramural
Committee that guides this phase of campus life.

I he Purple and White started the year as a green group of boys, inexperienced,
but not lacking in natural ability and scrap. The season's opener saw High Point
down Sedgelield Headquarters Squadron 39-37. Taking defeat at the hands of
Catawba they next beat Guilford 39-35. The quint then ran up against experi-
enced opposition that proved too much lor them in the remaining games ol the
first semester. Among these teams was the smooth working B.T.C. No. 10 live,
one ol the best service teams in the South.
Revived by the return of Nostrand and Porter, two of last year's aces of the
hardwood, the Panthers came back to smash Catawba 32-53. Inspired by this
win, the Yowmcn deleated Appalachian twice, only to bow to the basketball
team of Guilford College 30-32. The Mountaineers then journeyed to High
Point to take more defeats at the hands of the Panthers.
Seeking revenge for defeat, playing in Harrison Gym, the Purple and White
downed Guilford 59-50. The season ended up in lour more wins for the Yowmcn;
two from Morris Field and two from Charlotte "Y".
Towering George Nostrand, six foot nine-inch pivot man, was a mainstay in
the Panthers' wins. Bob Porter and Jack Foster were starting guards backed up
by reserves, "Satchelfoot" Patterson and "Fleetfeet" Morris. Taylor, fast,
high-scoring forward racked up many points for the Panthers, while Dawson,
smooth floor man, held down the other forward position.
Coach Yow's comment on this year, "We did all right", sums up the year.

On Sundays we all dress and primp
Then off to church like a flying blimp.
Mondays back to class we head
And study till we're nearly dead.
Tuesdays you can always detect
We go swimming and look like heck.

Now Wednesday is the bumming day
So off to town we go and stay.
Thursdays, sun baths we often take
We lie and burn till at last we bake.
On Friday most of us are happy
For home we go to mammy and pappy.
The remaining ones on Saturday date
Around the campus till the hour is late.
