the Old and the New A familiar sight to everyone is the Student Center. Housing the. campus Post Office, the Book- store, the offices of campus or- ganizations, and lounge for stu- dent relaxation, this building could certainly be called the most popular building on c a m p u s. From 8 o ' clock in the morning until 4 o ' clock in the afternoon, the sounds of popular music can be heard wafting from the Book- store. m Old and familiar sights, if seen from a new angle, can often seem new. This picture is a prime example of such an experiment. Is this the north side of North Hall, or is it the side of the library? No, this is a view of the gym- nasium that very few people pay attention to ; although they see this part of the building, it never looks to them as it does in this picture. Bright, sparkling white park- ing signs are abundant all over the campus. These signs which are a distinctive feature of our campus, aid in solving the cam- pus parking problem. Upon reg- istration, each student who owns a car was given a parking sticker with a letter on it indicating a certain area in which the student is allowed to park his car. A parking ticket is the reward for anyone who does not obey this new rule. j

Students Are Greeted by As the new college year begins, the students are greeted by old and familiar sights as well as by new ones. These new additions to the campus add to the unique personality of High Point College. Campus cop, Mr. Allen, is still giving out those dreaded parking tickets, and the fine has in- creased to $2 this year. The bookstore has added a new collection of books to whet the appetite of eager, young intellectuals. The tower of Roberts Hall still stands as guardian angel over the campus. An expansion in the size of the campus brought new housing for upperclassmen and fraternity men. Millis Dormitory was ready for occupancy at the beginning of the semester. A new and most unusual sight around the campus these days is the pet Kitty cat of one student. The cat sits patiently in the car during his master ' s classes. ■- ' lit ■ in 1 lit ' J

IN MEM OKI AM John F. Kennedy 1917 - 1963 John Kennedy reveled in love for the Irish patrimony that he had left so far behind. He laughed with love at the roguery of his grandfather, Honey Fitz, and his trip to Ire- land was a pilgrimage to that love. He loved his brothers and his sisters with a tribal love. All Kennedys were born grear- ious, but under seige it could be the Ken- nedys against the world. John Kennedy loved his children with a light that lit up his world. He discovered his daughter when election brought them finally under the same roof, and he delighted in her pride and in her performance. His heart leapt up when he saw his son, careen- ing through life as if there were no tomor- row, and he lit up the hearts of all who saw them enjoy each other. And John Kennedv loved his wife, who served him so well. Their life together began as it ended — in a hospital — and through sickness and loneliness there grew the speci- al love that lights up the soul of the lover and the loved alike. John Kennedy is dead, and for it that we are lesser people in a lesser land. — Benjamin Bradlee Copied from Newsweek, December 2, 1963. page 38. The editor feels that it is only fitting and proper for the ZENITH to pay tribute to our late President. We are a part of the youth that he was so interested in, and there is no better nor more poignant eulogy for John F. Kennedy than the one written by Mr. Bradlee. 14
