Morning finds the library filled with students su:h as Mike Pierce, Freddy Pugh, Roger Austin, Glenn Mucklow, Diana Winslow, and Irene Wall catching up on a forgotten book report or doing research for an assigned project. Jimmy Simeon sweeps end against Reidsville during the Homecoming game as Tommy Marley runs in for blocking assistance, Final score proved the Bison on top, 6-O. Time at High Point High was not given to you to spend but to invest. It was your most precious possession. It carried with it no guarantee that it would serve you, but it was only made available. Many times during your high school years you stopped to think: What have I learned today that I shall re- member a month, a year, or five years from now? You grew to realize that education was a storing of time for later use, rather than cramming for examinations, struggling with math problems, or groping for the right word in a theme. Even though you felt like giving up at times, that small glimpse of success ahead - that chance for further achievement and a secure place in the world - kept you going.

Challenges are met not only through academic courses but also in courses such as home economics. Libby Chandler, Rose Anne Boyles, and Pat Kidd show how the course prepares students for later life. lemsfjm .., CJ... is- h Q! , .W . Maw

Miss Louise Tapp, Jo Dunbar, Nancy Clinard, Jean Craven, Becky Bradner, and Connie Newham realize that visits to colleges and universities for conven- tions make the dream of future life a reality. Even the everyday occurrence of leaving school changes, for each day students leave with more knowledge and a growth in maturity. l 3:sLI ' F nu.2f1'W1'L4s 4 In these times at 'High Point High, knowl- edge extended into new areas. Learning pro- ceeded at a furious rate, making complexity more complex every day. You surprised your- self by rising above your own limitations and accomplishing things of which you never would have thought yourself capable - you grew in maturity, You worked to keep old friendships in repair and to cultivate new ones - you grew in individualism. You learned that the advice of others was sometimes worth more than your own ideas - you grew in respect. With the compiling of more facts and the need for their use, you began to wonder about people, places, and things - you grew in alertness. Helping your- self by helping others made you have a feel- ing of achievement and responsibility - you grew in self-satisfaction. All the thousands of events you experienced and all the thoughts that passed through your mind made you want to learn more and more - you grew in ambition. You left High Point High, your friends, your classrooms, your influences, your life for three, and for some, four years. You left for new experiences in college, in business, in family relations. You carried with you new ideas and thoughts. This was a time for education - that you might be able to manage social, eco- nomic, and political affairs with wisdom, and to achieve peace, justice, and co-operation among men and nations. College Day gives Van Aulbert, Dickie Koontz, and Ashley Morris a chance to learn about State College, their choice for further education, from its representative. . feb
