THE ZENITH 1927 VOLUME ONE PUBLISHED BY THE STUPENTS OF HIGH POINT COLLEGE ion THE FOUNDERS OF HIGH POINT COLLEGE Who by their interest and faith in th? fundamental goodness of human nature and their belief that this could be de- veloped best by directed physical, men ■ tal. and moral training, and who by their patient, self-sacrificing zeal and efforts conceived and finally brought to realization an institution for those purposes, we the grateful students of High Point College dedicate this first edition of the Zenith. initmiuiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiniiiiii iniriiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiifiiiiHitiitiiiiiifii Book I. THE COLLEGE Book II. THE CLASSES 5g Y?rou on 5INCE our college is new, prece- dents must be established. Those who are privileged to share in the making of such precedents occupy a place of great responsibility. Realizing this, we have tried to be very careful to gather together in an attractive, moderately expensive book that mate- rial which represents all worthwhile college activities and plays an impor- tant part in our life. Due to our inex- perience, the work has been doubly hard, and the results may not satisfy our ambitions. We do not expect this to be the best annual High Point Col- lege will produce. Indeed, we ardent- ly desire that our successors may be in- finitely more successful. However, we sincerely hope that this first volume ot the Zenith will keep forever in your minds happy memories of college asso- ciations and endear you more than ever to Alma Mater. t Uhe Staff 3s ooli One THE COLLEGE The Nineteen Twenty-seven Zenith College Song Words and Music by Dorothy Hoskins and Margaret Gurley In our hearts we ' ll hold the mem ' ry Of a place we love the best; O ' er it waves a purple banner, Emblem of its fearlessness.

Page nine The Nineteen Twenty-seven Zenith History oi High Point College IGH POINT COLLEGE had its beginning in the mind of Rev. J. F. McCulloch, a native of Guilford County, North Carolina, and a graduate of Adrian College, Adrian, Michigan. After his graduation, Dr. McCulloch taught for a few years and then returned to North Carolina with the conviction that the North Carolina Conference should establish within her borders a high-grade college. With this purpose in mind he attended the Annual Conference at LaGrange in 1893, and so well did he p resent his desire that a Committee on Ways and Means was appointed to investigate and if possible to provide means for building the college. But no sooner did this committee begin its work than it was found that the Church in North Carolina did not feel the need of such an institution. Whereupon, Dr. McCulloch set about to establish a Church paper in order that his views and all college propoganda might be put into the homes of the members of the Methodist Protestant Church. Our Church Record, the name of which was afterwards changed to The Methodist Protestant Herald, was established. A very desirable lot was purchased in Greensboro on South Elm Street, 30x150 feet, for $3,300.00, and a building was erected at a cost of about $4,500.00. Later additions to the building brought the total investment up to $1 1,381.00. So greatly has this property advanced in value that it is now regarded as worth between $75,000.00 and ?ioo,000.00. But it was not until after many years of agitation, personal solicita- tion and many disappointments that the college as an enterprise really began to appear. First, Mr. J. C. Roberts, of Kernersville, N. C, a loyal member of the Methodist Protestant Church, provided in his will a gift of $10,000.00, if the college should be ready to open by 1920; otherwise, the gift was to be used as an invested fund, the interest on which was to be used for educating worthy young men preparing for the ministry. The gift stimulated considerable interest and when the college was finally built the Administration building was named in honor of Mr. Roberts. It was at the Enfield Annual Conference in 1920 that the next im- portant step was taken. Dr. Andrews, then President of the Conference, recommended in his annual report that unless our people were willing to go forward in the erection of the college we should abandon the cherished hope. The conference was moved to appoint a College Committee, com- posed of Dr. Andrews, Rev. L. W. Gerringer, and Rev. J. E. Pritchard. Page ten The Nineteen Twenty-seven Zenith who were to visit the churches in the North Carolina district and to put on a campaign for funds for the college. Seeing that at last the Church was interested, in the college enterprise Mr. J. Norman Wills, a son and grandson of ministers of the Methodist Protestant Church, himself a loyal and useful layman in the same church, was moved to propose that if the Church in North Carolina would raise in good subscriptions as much as $300,000.00 by the end of the year he would give $100,000.00 towards the enterprise. The campaign was put on and pressed most vigorously. The time for raising the total amount was extended by Mr. Wills but business conditions in the State becoming less prosperous than formerly, when the campaign closed, only $241,000.00 was secured. However, with this assurance of success, the Board of Education of North Carolina decided to go forward. And a challenge was sent to several cities in the Piedmont section that if an acceptable site and $100,- OOO.OO should be offered the Committee it would consider the location of the college in that city. Burlington, Greensboro, and High Point all met the condition but the High Point site was chosen. A Building Committee consisting of Dr. F. R. Harris, Dr. J. F. McCulloch, Dr. R. M. Andrews, Mr. R. F. Williams, Mr. J. Norman Wills, Mr. R. H. Brooks, and Mr. J. S. Pickett was appointed. Mr. Herbert B. Hunter was engaged as Architect, and he, with Mr. J. Norman Wills and Dr. Andrews visited a number of colleges and uni- versities and after thorough investigation recommended to the committee that the Colonial style of architecture be chosen. Plans were drawn and work proceeded on the erection of the build- ings without much delay. The cornerstone of Roberts Hall was laid June 29th, 1922; the building was completed during the Fall of that year. McCulloch Hall, a dormitory for. boys, and Woman ' s Hall, a dormitory for girls, were not completed until about the middle of Sep- tember, 1924. College was opened September 15th of this year. Work was begun with two college classes. There were fifteen members in the Sophomore Class, ninety-nine in the Freshman Class, and twenty in the preparatory department. This department was discontinued at the close of the second year. The total enrollment for 1925 exceeded 200 and the present number enrolled is larger. The total value of the property, consisting of buildings, grounds, and equipment is greatly in excess of $500,000.00.

Andrews D.D. 10NG before the first brick was placed on our campus, or ever was heard the sound of tool here, Dr. Andrews was pioneering for High Point College. It was under his direction that the forces were organized which led to the creation of this institution. And since the very day of its inception he has given to our college his wisdom, his labors, and his fullest devotion. President Andrews is a scholar of intellectual vigor, a soul of Christian culture, and a spirit of deepest human sympathies. By building, as he is, his noble qualities into the life of the school and into the youthful hearts of the students, his influence becomes a perpetual inspiration to all who feel the power of his personality.

She is the kind who had rather be lound out than heard, hut we are told that still waters run deep. Who knows what unseen qualities she po sesses?

Those who have not had the pleasure of knowing May have missed a rare privilege. She is a lover of ideals and con- stantly strive to attain them. She docs well any task, for May is the kind of a girl who has a conscience that is in good working order. Her knowledge is broad, as she has drunk deep oi the Pierian Springs. But with all these traits, mirahle dictu, she remains a sweet, modest, amiable girl whom everybody loves ami esteems.

The Nineteen Twenty-seven Zenith Class Poem Four long years of work and grind And our goal it shall be won; Our childhood days we ' ve left behind Our college days begun. One year so soon it slipped by. With work and joy and glee; As sophomores then our work did ply Together industriously. Other years have quickly sped, We reached the senior ' s state; This path we gladly tread Until we graduate. Now comes the time we ' d thought the end, The beginning, though, we find; Our energies we gladly bend, No longer call it grind. Emma Lewis Whitaker, Poet. Page thirty-seven The Nineteen Twenty-seven Zenith Class History HE Senior Class of 1927, the initial class of High Point College, is a synthetic creation, a conglomeration. Each member was rocked in the cradle of another institution, and was representative of respective Fresh- man Classes in seven different colleges of this state and Virginia. If there is any inherent value in variety, this class is intrinsically superior. H. E. Coble came from Wake Forest ; Cleo Harrell from Salem ; Eugenia Williams from Shenan- doah; Margaret Perry from Greensboro College for Women; Pomona Johnson and Mabel Balch from Guilford; May Frazier and Emma Lewis Whitaker from North Carolina College for Women; Ethel Blackwelder, Jewel Hughes, Callie Isley, O. C. Loy, and W. M. Loy from Elon. Each had elsewhere its setting and cometh from afar. When High Point College opened her doors for the first time, in the Fall of 1924, thirteen ex-Freshmen were greeted by incompleted dormitories, seventeen days of con- tinuous rain, and mud of a depth and nature rarely experienced. The environment was very conducive to devolution. Turtles and crawfish would have been the natural con- sequence of the process. However, fate was kind and all have survived. Rain still occasionally comes, but the evolutionary growth of the college has eliminated the other named conditions. Each year of our stay has become more pleasant. A more comfortable, wholesome, and congenial atmosphere can hardly be found among the institutions of this nature in the South. As stated, the Class of ' 27 started on its academic journey with unlucky thirteen members, and its ultimate destination is approached by the same. Two members have been lost while an equal addition has been made, thus maintaining the inauspicious number thirteen. The principle deduced from the clinging mud of ' 24 seems to have become a coercive, dominating force in the lives of the individual members. Tenacity and determination characterize the class as a whole. Almost every member has climbed to his present heights in the academic realm through the most adverse condi- tions. Some members have had outside duties sufficient to debilitate the man of average powers. Few classes have ever experienced a more absolute freedom. There have been no upper-classmen to dictate nor to advise ; our unquestioned liberty has not been curbed by traditions ; but at all times we have been governed by conclusions drawn from our own deliberations. Unbiased and unprejudiced we have stood and acted. With this air of freedom we have at all times had a consciousness of our responsi- bility as the first class. The establishment of precedence has been strenuously avoided that classes who follow may be left to the dictates of future light. W. M. Loy, Historian. Page thirty-eight Tne Nineteen Twenty-seven Zenitk Senior Prophecy SUPERNATURAL revelations have long ago ceased to exist. The sibyls are in their caves no longer, and the long-whiskered prophet too has disappeared. There remains, however, one means of prophecy that cannot fail of fulfillment, and so, I, J the prophet, through the inspiration of three years of association with these eager minds predict the outcome of their lives after they have left the memorable halls of High Point College. By the manner of their work here, I shall foretell the work of their future. For three long years I have been a day dreamer and a night prowler on the campus. By associating with the Class of ' 27, I have been able to learn some of the faults, habits, and exper- iences of the individual members. Guided by the information of the past I have been called from the daily grind of the present and have been shown bright worlds of the future where crowns and honors have been won, all by the class of ' 27. Bill Loy will complete his course at Westminster Theological Seminary and become pastor of Grace Church, Greensboro, where he will bitterly denounce class prejudices, knickers for both boys and girls, and bootlegging. When he chooses to come back to his Alma Mater, his time will be spent with his brother, O. C. Loy, who will have become professor of Religious Education. Bill will insist on discussing the merits and demerits of Chevrolets while O. C, deeply concerned with the inheritance of acquired characteristics, will contend that his children cannot possibly inherit the characteristics of marrying while in college. May Frazier will receive her M.A. degree at Columbia University, and travel with the Red- path Chautauqua, lecturing on the Art of Self-Culture. Later she will reside in a nearby city where she will divide her time between home duties and part-time instructor of English at 1 well-known college. Margaret Perry will teach gym in High Point High School, of which her husband will be principal. Mabel Balch will complete a course in Romance Languages at the University of Paris, and return to America to become head of the language department at a North Carolina college. Emma Lewis Whitaker will become Society Editor for the Baltimore Sun, but will realize later that politics is her calling and run for Congress in the Fifth District. She will be assisted in her campaign by Callie Isley who will have great influence because of her position as supervisor of education in Alamance County. A glimpse of the diamond on Pomona Johnson ' s hand is sufficient to forecast her future. Jewel Hughes will become pianist for the Chicago Concert Company, until she gives up this career for an intensive course in Home Economics. Ethel Blackwelder will engage in Social Service work for several years, and after acquiring enough dignity will succeed Miss Young as Dean of Women at High Point College. Herman Coble, our president, with his fine qualities of leadership, will become governor of Texas and probably rise to even greater positions. Cleo Harrell will teach Home Economics in Spray High School and later become Matron in a reformatory for boys. Alas, the curtain of my brain is falling. I cannot see any more. My own future remains closed behind it. But what does it matter? Destiny will deal with me as it sees fit. Eugenia Williams, Prophet. Page thirty-nine Tne Nineteen Twenty-seven Zenith Last Will and Testament State oh North Carolina, County of Guilford. E, the class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-seven, being of a sound mind, mem- ory, and understanding, and being cognizant of the irregularity and pitfalls of this earthly existence, do make and declare this, our last Will and Testament, hereby declaring void any and all Wills heretofore executed by us. As to such estates as the fates have allowed us to accumulate, we make the following disposition, viz.: Section I Article I. We desire that our executor, hereinafter named, see that our funeral services be directed in accordance with thee wishes of our friends and relatives, pay all funeral expenses, together with our just debts, including society dues, library fines, book store bills, and laboratory fees. The aforesaid debts shall be paid out of the first money belonging to our estate which may come into his hands. Article II. We give and bequeath to the Dean of Women the privilege of giving social hour at any time she wishes, provided it is not too often, and hoping that she may break up many forlorn love affairs. Section II Article I. To the class of ' 28 we give and bequeath all our senior privileges, particularly our privilege of honor dates once a week, those taken as well as given, hoping that they may ascertain what these privileges are and not abuse them. Article II. To the Sophomore class we will our beauty and attractiveness, including curling irons, compacts, and other aids to the aforesaid beauty and attractiveness. Article III. We give to the Freshman class our excess knowledge, hoping they will make better use of it than we have. Section III Article I.

They went along singing Carrolls which goes to show what a jolly crowd they were. They stopped a Wagoner to buy some Cates and Lemons. Let ' s get some Redwine, said Percy Paschall. No ! protested Roy Bethune, That ' s against the Rule. They stopped by the Sides of the road and ate their lunch. Lillian Buckner sat down Andrew a picture. How do you like that, Jimmy Rogers? Oh, it Suits me all right. Just then they came to Madison. Hello! Spencer Cutchin Hauser friends? cried an old man. Oh, they ' re all Livengood except Aileen Hendricks; she nearly died. I thought she would Parrish from Burns. We started to stop but she cried Ad Vance. So we went on but we had to sleep in Hayes and fields many times. Let ' s go on, said Ptylla Bingham whose thirst for knowledge was exceedingly great, or the Snipes will get us, and of all the birds I know, they scare me most. So on they went, always jolly in all kinds of trouble, until they reached their desti- nation. Then and there all forty-six of them tried to climb the Tree of Knowledge at the same time. What are you trying to do, Jim Ellington — pull the tree up by the roots? Forsooth, what are you Kecking about? Do you want all the knowledge? cried Jim, and he went on climbing frantically. All of a sudden, Crash! Down went the Tree of Knowledge with ' a force that shook the earth, and with it went forty-six jolly Juniors still jolly as ever. Hey! W hat ' s the trouble? cried a farmer. Oh ! We were just Picken knowledge off the tree, but we ' ve found that it ' s better to dig for it, cried Bill Ragan, and forthwith he and all the jolly Juniors set to work to dig for knowledge.

Little did they heed the mud which was vainly striving to cover a part of their greenness on that memorable day. Where they floundered around in nrfid ankle-deep, future students will stroll down shady walks bordered with flowers. On this, the first Freshman class of High Point College, rested the responsibility of making traditions for all the future classes. The Class of ' 28 was the first to plan a memorial for the college ; it was a gate which was to be erected during the Junior year. This first year we Freshmen were represented in all phases of college activity, both in athletic and literary achievements. The year 1925 witnessed a marked change in the one-time Freshmen. Gone were those timid, cringing creatures, and in their places stood worldly-wise, self-assured Sophomores. With a haughty manner they watched the Freshmen as the latter blundered into forbidden places, little realizing the consequences of their folly. The task of the Sopho- mores was to raise money for the gate. The class gamely experimented with every available means for raising money, anything from selling peanuts and sandwiches to giving dramatic entertainments. The year 1926 ushered in the Juniors who viewed with a kind of condescension the vain attempts of the Sophomores to exert their longed- for authority. The Juniors immediately began to cast about for means to make money for the gate. The proceeds from several plays proved their ability as financiers. We hope that by next Spring the gate will adorn the campus of High Point College and stand as a fitting memorial to the Class of ' 28.

The very first Sunday evening after the -college opened, a Christian Endeavor prayer meeting was held in the auditorium of Robert ' s Hall. On October 12, 1924, the society was definitely organized for work under the able leadership of young people from church societies of many sections of the state. It has since become a very necessary part of the life of the students who soon learned to work together as one unit For Christ and the Church. Since the organization of the society, regular week ' y prayer meetings have been held practically every Sunday evening during the college year. The society has been of great benefit to each individual student and of real worth to the college as a whole. Through the meetings, students have learned to think more about their souls, their life work, and individual problems, as well as about national and work problems. They have learned each other better, and have been drawn in close fellowship with the Master more by the Christian Endeavor Society than by any other student organization. From the beginning of the second co ' lege year the Christian Endeavor Society has had full charge of the Sunday evening religious services. The meetings are well attended, as all are assured that they will receive real benefit from the service. Usually a speaker is secured to talk after the programs. Not only have the Christian Endeavorers been interested in the religious side of life, but also in the social side, for Christian Endeavor is not a one-sided affair. Well planned socials have been given at intervals. Broadmindedness is another characteristic that can be applied to our society as well as to all others in the state, we believe. We have taken part in city union activities and foreign and home missions. Though not definitely connected with any particular church we have done much for churches throughout the state. The members of the society have gone back to their homes and organized societies. There is also a regular extension group sent out for this purpose. The Christian Endeavor Society is the most representative organization of the college. Prac- tically all the boarding students are members. Students from all classes take part in the meetings and everybody feels that it is his society. Ideas have been brought together from all parts of the state and even from other states. A fine spirit of co-operation has developed and much has been accomplished. We are glad to be a part of the world-wide organization of Christian Endeavor, and look forward to years of activity in which we hope to be able to increase greatly the cause of the Great Master, whom we are earnestly trying to serve.

Previous to the organization of this society, there was one other for boys functioning on the campus. The charter members of the new organization were: Percy M. Paschall President Fred T. Hauser Vice-President John R. Perry Secretary ' R. Bruce Yokely . . Treasurer W. H. Hunter, Jr. . . Marshal Adam S. Hunt Dallas C. Rathbone Floyd G. Little Prof. P. S. Kennett, Faculty Adviser Prof. T. C. Johnson, Honorary Member We selected the name Akrothinian, meaning Highest Point, from a group of Greek letters supplied by Mrs. White, the professor of Greek. Our motto is: Find a way or make one, the words of the illustrious super-general, Napoleon Bonaparte. Although «ur society started with a very small group of young men, the influx of new members has nourished the organization until it has grown far beyond our initial expectations. We started with only eight members, but there are at present enrolled in our society twenty-eight students and two faculty members. The reasons for our growth may be accounted for by the untiring efforts of all members, a fraternal spirit among the boys, an air of congeniality, and the direct results of our meetings. We are very optimistic over the present outlook of our past gains, and can safely predict a prosperous future for the Akrothinian Literary Society of High Point College.

Faculty Adviser Claire Douglas . Reporter In the Spring of 1926, it was decided that the Artemesian Society had grown too large, to function satisfactorily. Consequently, by vote of the entire society, the membership was . equally divided. Just before the close of school the members of the new society, twenty of them, met and organized themselves under the name of Nikanthans. The organization was not worked out in detail, but a firm foundation was laid. At the opening of college in the Fall of 1926, thirty-one new members joined the society, making a total of fifty-one members. Besides these, there are six honorary faculty members. After every business session, a short program of some kind is presented, usually being an appreciation program. Much talent has been discovered in the society through the programs presented. The Nikanthans are a very congenial group of girls and in all cases hpve proved to work together very harmoniously.

The contests have much support and enthusiasm. Games are won and lost. Spirits are brightened and dampened. This goes on often without a thought of the force which makes it possible. Coach Boylin has worked faithfully with and for High Point College, not only in athletics, but in every other undertaking. Coach seems quiet until one knows him, but that occurs very soon. Though not coming into direct contact through classes and otherwise with most of us, he has a most remarkable capacity of learn- ing people ' s names and faces. Some of us wonder how he finds out who we insig- nificant beings are, even sooner than some of our professors. Coach Boylin has accomplished his greatest work in athletics. High Point College, being new, had no reputation in any line when the doors opened in the fall of 1924. Now our Alma Mater is known in many states. This is due to a great extent to the tireless energy and patience of Coach, who has caused students from all over the United States to come here because of the interest he aroused from his work with our teams. We appreciate and honor him, and we want him to know it. Our Cheer Lead eaaers No college without a spirit can successfully exist. College spirit is aroused per- haps more by athletics than by other forces. But this spirit, when it is once alive, spreads to every phase of school life. Charlie Brooks and his co-workers have helped High Point College wonderfully. We have a college spirit here, one of which we are proud. Much credit is due to our faithful cheer leaders for this and for our success in many lines. Lately the Cheering One Hundred was organized, which is destined to be an outstanding factor in college life, especially since it is under the guid- ance of such enthusiastic students as our cheer leaders. Every person connected with High Point College is grateful to them for their work. Page one hundred Tlie Nineteen Twenty-seven Zenith LllLLUIHlinn muni Review and Propliecy of High Point College Athletics PROPHECY has been fulfilled ! Looking back two years into the gloom that shrouded High Point College athletics, one sees a path leading out paved with blocks of success, hewn by undying High Point enthusiasm, earnest effort, and loyal co-operation. Two years ago the prophecy was made that the followers of the Purple and White would gaze upon the years of 1925 and 1926, pointing these as landmarks in athletics at High Point College. That proph- ecy has been fulfilled, for another great year has been added. Our success during the past year has been marvelous. Our teams have been coached by Jack Boylin ; our victories have been High Point College victorie3. Suc- cess inspires optimism. One cannot but see a bright future for the Purple and White in 1927 and 1928, after recalling the achievements of the past year. . In football, the chief sport, High Point carried its flag further abroad, especially in the South, chiefly by conquering Guilford at Greensboro in the first gams ever to be played in the new World War Memorial Stadium, and earlier in the season stop- ping the Little Christians, one of the strongest teams of the Little Five and who had not tasted defeat before during the season. In basketball High Point College more than held its own, playing and defeat ing teams in both the North and South. Adhering strictly to the high standards upon which the present athletic system was founded, making athletic standards second only to scholastic standards, and co- operating whole-heartedly with other departments of the institution make athletics worth while at High Point College and mean more to those who participate. In the success of High Point College athletics is well reflected the consistent progress being made in all of its departments. Each new achievement forms a mile- stone along the road of progress. The achievement of the 1926-27 seasons makes landmarks of which High Point College may well be proud. High Point College can, must, and will carry on in athletics, as in other things, always the highest and best of collegiate undertakings.

The King College grid warriors were met for the first time, and the touchdown-a-minute team yielded to a scoreless tie. This game was hard-fought throuhgout, and thus the season opened with a fighting spirit. For the second game the Boylinites met the Lenoir-Rhyne Mountain Bears. Here the experienced and mighty Spurlock proved too much for the Panthers ' less experienced men. Hence Lenoir-Rhyne took the big end of a 29-0 score. It was down in South Carolina at Paris Island that the Panthers next journeyed, this time to encounter a team composed of former college gridiron stars from all parts of the country. Indeed much credit must be given the Panthers for having held the Marines to 26 points. A huge crowd of football enthusiasts witnessed the first victory and home game of the season, when the Panthers met the Milligan aggregation. The splendor of the 13-7 victory was somewhat shaded because of the injuries Hill, McMannis and Rowan received. The next week the Little Christians of A. C. C. came to High Point for their first defeat. Previous to this game they had not been defeated, nor had their goal line been crossed. On a trick play, Mulligan, substitute quarterback, scored a 7 for H. P. C, by making a touchdown. The thrill of the season was when Guilford and High Point clashed on November 1 1 . The two great rivals met in the new World War Memorial Stadium in Greens- boro for the first game ever played there. Approximately five thousand people wit- nessed this battle, and High Point College won her first victory over Guilford in the 7-3 score. . ■ . The season hastened to an end after this hard-fought Guilford game. Atlantic Christian College had challenged the Panthers to a game to be played in Wilson. The Panthers had accepted, and in the hardest-fought gridiron battle ever seen in Wilson, the Little Christians were prevented gaining their hope for a touchdown — 0-0 was the story of the battle. An efficient coach, a fighting spirit, a winning spirit — ended High Point College ' s greatest football season.
