Teac.ue GREETINGS I am happy to offer greetings to the Senior Class and the rest of the student body of High Point College in this year ' s edition of the Zenith. My best wishes to this the largest graduating class in the history of the college. I sincerely hope that each and everyone of you are going out from our halls with a training that will fit you for the contacts of life. And that you will take, to whatever field of labor in which you find yourselves, an optimism and sacrifice that will enable you to render the be st service of which you are capable. I trust that your character has been so developed through the testings that have come to you that each of you will stand forth, in your community of associations, as a real man or woman. We, of the administration and faculty, have a pride in your as our graduates. We also put our trust in you that you will so live and labor that we shall always be glad to call you our boys and girls. My good wishes and high hopes for the rest of the student body for the com- ing year and years. Your opportunity for making the most of college still remains with you. Whatever such possibility is lies with you in the main — you can make or mar such privilege. I sincerely trust that you will realize that at the most the time is short. As you face, therefore, the future days here on the campus — face them with a genuine determination to put the best of yourselves into them that you may get from them the best they have to offer. Build a worthwhile comradeship and cement such friendships as will count the most for life. Learn to so number your days that you may be able to apply your hearts unto wisdom. Get knowledge; but with all thy getting, get understanding — is still a mighty wise proverb; hearken unto it and heed its admonition. Fraternally, Gideon I. Humphreys, President.

Since this be- ginning in a small way, the activities of student government have increased and grown until now the Student Council is one of the most important groups on the campus. The council is composed of a president, vice- president, secretary, a dormitory and a day student representative from each class, and the presidents of the two dormitory councils. Under t leaders, the council has improved social activities on the being the bi-weekly dances and the parties held in the DwioHl Ml RGAN ie capable guidance of its campus, the chief of these ibrary basement.

VOICE DEPARTMENT A CAPELLA CHOIR Miss Janet Hall, head of the Voice Depart- ment, since her coming to High Point College in the spring of 1938, has accomplished work which is very praiseworthy. Direct from study at the Juilliard School of Music in New York City and extensive study under private tutors, Miss Hall has proved a very efficient instructor in vocal study. Since her arrival at High Point College. Miss Hall has greatly aided in the upbuilding of the Voice Department. A gifted and well-known singer herself, she has presented several recitals both on and off campus which were all enthusi- astically received, thereby adding greatly to the reputation of the department. Instruction in voice culture is open to the stu- dents working toward a B.S. Degree in Public School Music and to students who wish to de- velop their voice through private lessons. Perhaps no field in the college curriculum has aroused more interest at High Point than has the field of voice culture. The increasing numbers of young men and young women interested in the various studies of this department have necessitated its enlargement. One of the best liked organizations on the college campus is the A Capella Choir, directed by Miss Janet Russell, head of the music depart- ment. This choir has traveled extensively, making a fine reputation for itself and for the college. In the fall of the year tryouts for the various types of voices are held, with the result that the freshmen usually take over the vacated positions. After the preliminary tryouts, further trials arc held until the final selections are made. Aside from those in the actual choir, there are alternates who receive the same training as the regular mem- bers. After practicing throughout the early part of the year, concerts throughout this and other parts of the country are given during the second semester. During the past several years the choir has traveled extensively, going as far north as New York and south to Florida. On these long tours, stop-overs are made for concerts at various cities and towns. The press reports from such cities as Norfolk, Richmond. Washington, Birmingham, and Montgomery have lauded the A Capella Choir and its director as one of the best organiza- tions of its kind in the country. Last year the feature trip was to Washington, D. C, while many week-end trips were taken throughout the state.

This, however, is one of the most popular courses, for besides the work and study, the occupantts find that there is also much enjoyment connected with it. During the six-weeks stay in the house, the home economics major applies the principles she has been learning in her four years training. Practically every angle of home management is taken up in the home. The girls learn the impor- tance of careful managing of money and a greater appreciation of group living, and the ability to use their own time and energy tor the best results. Miss Lola Barry, head of this de- partment, supervises the house, but in the main, the management is left up to the young women. 177) SIGMA ALPHA P H I Roll Jacqueline Kinney Frances Muse i.rcn i.k Ingram NANCA Parham Dixie Thomas Esther Miran Rebecca Coble VlKH WARD Helen Waller Wit ma Sink Rachel Spain-hour Lucille Johnson- Hanks Apple Bets Dean Waccer Bei iv Securest Mii DRBO Marsh Jane AUSTIN l m McCali.

This group is composed of two student members, the varsity coach, the graduate manager ot athletics, anil three members of the faculty. The duties ni this group include the scheduling of contests, the purchasing ol supplies, the matter of transporting athletic teams, and various routine matters that have to do with the college sports of football, basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, anil track. The addition of floodlights on the football Held, and a co-sponsorship of the Amateur Athletic Union tournament have been activities that the Athletic Council has engaged in during the last year and a half. 1 he largest and most important activity undertaken by the council was sending the basketball team to the .National Interscholastic tourna- ment in Kansas City.

Yow, Panther Ringmaster, didn ' t have enough football children left over that he didn ' t know what to do. As a matter of fact, the entire schedule was played by ap- proximately sixteen men. However, the Yowmen weathered the suicide schedule with considerable eclat. In the initial showing the Panthers were defeatd by Catawba, 18-0. While in the second fray Elon College had little trouble rolling up a 40-point win. Lenoir-Rhyne trimmed the Pointers in spite of the efforts of Jack Moran, giant picket, who made the left flank unturnable. Smearing ball carriers far behind the line and accounting for the Panthers ' lone tally, how- ever, Moran wasn ' t enough to stop the Bears who won 27-6. The Guilford Quakers scored their single tally early, only to see a scrappy Panther eleven come back in the final period knotting count at 6 all. Appalachian thrashed the Yowmen 41-2, scoring 33 points in the last half. It was against William and Mary that the Panthers first tasted victory 7-0.

Eastern Carolina fell before the Yow machine 21-6. The entire team, led by Secret and Franklin, played an outstanding game. Journeying to Virginia, the Panthers fell victim to a hard-charging Emery-Henry eleven. The Wasps cele- brated homecoming by rolling up a 24-0 win. Closing the season in a blaze of glory, the Panthers defeated Western Carolina Teachers 18-0. Moran, Armstrong, and Franklin accounted for the Panthers ' tallies. And so another High Point eleven closes its season. When Coach Yow blows his whistle next fall for the opening of another pigskin season only two members of this year ' s squad will be missing — Lemaster and Al- mond, who will leave via the sheekskin route. With the returning veterans, and the usual new tal- ent, prospects for a banner year are good.

Aside from annexing the North State Conference Championship, the Purple and White bas- keteers won the Carolinas A. A. U. tournament and re- ceived an invitation to the National Intercollegiate Tournament in Kansas City, where they acquitted them- admirably well. In pre-Christmas games the Panther outfit showed great promise in triumphs over Greensboro Y and Adams-Millis and in close losses to Wake Forest and McCrary. A five-day invasion of Eastern Carolina and Tidewater Virginia immediately after Christmas resulted in five consecutive victories for the locals. In early sea- son conference play the Appalachian Mountaineers upset the high-flying Panthers by a three-point margin. From this time until the conference title had been clinched, the Purple and White team played a sterling brand of basketball that swept everything before it. In this fine string of triumphs were two wins over the defending title holders, the Elon Christians, by thirteen and fifteen point margins. After the close of regular season play, the senior men ' s division title in the A. A. U. tourney went to the High Pointers after a thrilling two-point decision over the McCrary Eagles. Although losing in the National event at Kansas City, High Point gave a good account of itself against the nation ' s topflight aggregations. The 1939 edition of the Panthers was captained by Glen (Red) Towery, playing his fourth year as a regular guard. Red ended his brilliant career by being one cf the three High Pointers placed on the mythical all- conference team. Bill Hester, a senior, completed his college basketball career after serving for three years as one of the best defensive guards ever to wear the Purple and White. Hester and Towery will be the only performers lost by graduation. The high scorer and center for the local club was towering Hugh Hampton, also selected for all-conference honors. Hamp ' s forte was handling balls under the basket, where he garnered most of his points. The third Panther star to make all-conference laurels was Morton Samet, a fast forward from Long Island. Morton this year fulfilled the promise shown last year 7 ' ' T0r T JV HESTER GujrJ SAMET Forward TOWERY Guard HAMPTON Center MO RAN Forward MA1.FREGEOT Guard COUNIHAN GujiJ NANCE Forward KEENE Center MURRAY (SujtJ ARMSTRONG For...- WATTS as a freshman and blossomed into a valuable Pointer star. Hilliard Nance, in his first year of eligibility, held down the other forward post. Although ineligible the first semester, Jeep soon captured a first-string berth and held it the rest of the year. Jack Moran saw plenty of action both at a guard and forward post and gave indication of holding down a first-string berth next year. Jack ' s best night was against Wake Forest when he played the whole game and an extra period. The best pop-shot on the entire squad was Marcel Malfregeot, a diminutive guard from West Virginia. Marcel ' s long shots and scrappy play stamped him as outstanding performer in his second year of competition. Two valuable subs to the Yow coached aggregation this year were Bill Keene and Jerry Counihan. Keene graduated from the Jay Vces to the job of understudy- ing Hampton, where he showed plenty of action. Stand- ing 6 feet 8 inches, Keene was outstanding under the backboards. Jerry Counihan, a freshman from Free- port, New York, made the varsity after starring for the freshmen a few weeks. Jerry had more scrap than any- body on the team, and if he continues to improve he will probably have a first-string guard berth next year. The three remaining squad members were Frank Murray, Graham Armstrong and W. C. Collins. Mur- ray and Armstrong came by way of the Jay Vces, while Collins is a freshman from South Carolina. Although these men did not see a great deal of action, they were valuable men and showed promise that may be fulfilled next year. Coach Virgil Yow and Managers George Elkins and Billy Locke complete the roster of the Purple Panther Quintet, North State Conference Champions. JUNIOR VARSITY Although not getting the publicity it deserved, the Junior Varsity quint compiled a great record on the hardwood for the season of 1938-1939. Playing strong high school and independent teams, the Jay Vees went through their regular schedule with the loss of but one encounter. Under the tutelage of Coach Clayton Glasgow, several promising players were developed that showed potential basketball finesse. The outstanding scoring threats were Milliard Coble. Bill Paterson, George Welborn, and Malcolm Riley. On the defensive side of the ledger Bob Merhige. John Brown, and Jimmy Moore showed up best. Other players that saw a good bit of action were Boyce Wynn, S. J. Wel- born, Frank Fernandez, and Thompson. After completing the regular season play, the Jay Vees entered the A. A. LI. Tournament, where they won three hard encounters before losing to the crack Airco team, defending champions in their division. In the High Point Y. M. C. A. Gold Medal play the local team was eliminated in the second round of play. The Junior Varsity played preliminary games to all the Panther home clashes as well as traveling to various high schools throughout. In their practice sessions it fell their lot oftentimes to engage in tedi- ous scrimmages with the varsity quintet. So the suc- cess that befell the Senior Panthers in some measure belongs to the Jay Vec outfit. Although there should be few vacancies on the varsity team next year, the Jay Vee team members are quite ready to step in when needed or even oust a varsity man from his position. All in all. the past season was the most successful yet for the Junior teams at High Point. JUNIOR VARSITY COBLE MOORb PATTERSON WYNN WELBORN WELBORN RILEY FERNANDEZ MERHIGE THOMPSON BROWN Eiirltr. Samel, Franklin, Shore HaiLsrr, Hirohaw TENNIS With the coming of warm balmy breezes, and the sunshine that spells springtime, the tenniseers of the campus make their first appearance of the year. This year was no exception, except that some of the more hearty souls did not wait until the warm breezes were blowing. Tennis is a universal sport and draws a large number of en- thusiasts on the local campus. But heading the list, of course, is the college tennis team. Prospects were very bright at the opening of practice session for one of the greatest tennis teams in the school ' s history. And so it should be — what with five regulars from last year ' s team returning to the fold to don once again the Purple and White of High Point College. Heading the list was Morton Samet, brilliant two-sport star of the college. In addition to being the number one man on the squad, he is also the school champion, having won the annual tournament held last fall. Others who reported from last year ' s team were Albert Earle, Richard Short, Porter Hauser, and Reginald Hinshaw. These men framed the nucleus around which the team was built. Several new freshman players added to the team ' s strength but their day will come later. Last year ' s team, although inexperienced, won three matches out of the eight contests played. Three wins were turned in over the strong net squad from Atlantic Christian College, while the local aggregation dropped double-headers to the netmen from Elon College and Lenoir-Rhyne College. One match was dropped to the strong Guilford Quakers. The same teams will probably be met in this year ' s matches, although several other teams from North Conference school may be added. With the veterans from the preceding year ' s squad and the usual influx of new talent, tennis, as an inter-collegiate sport, is coming into its own on the local campus. Although tennis at High Point has progressed rapidly, a still brighter future lies ahead. [94] WOMAN ' S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION All girls who care to participate in sports ami acquire the required points (or entrance are eligible for membershhip in the Woman ' s Ath- letic Association, one of the most active organiza- tions on campus. In general, the association, which has a na- tional standing, has as its purpose the develop- ment of a program of athletics that will provide both wholesome recreation and practical training for the young women students. All iutra-mural tournaments are Sponsored by the association. Soccer, basketball, volley hall, Softball, and tennis were included in the schedule for the past year. To recognize individual achievement, the as- sociation awards points for the participation in athletics. The greatest number of points are given to those who make the varsity teams of the various sports. To win a college letter, five hundred points are re ' juired, but to win a cov- eted college sweater, a girl must earn two thou- sand points.

Although intercollegiate games are not engaged in bv the girls, this game creates more interest among the co-eds and the entire student body than am Ol the other sports. The tournament is a keen struggle among the competing classes who light hard lor the glory of their teams. Loyal spectators urged the teams to victory. t ' nder the capable coaching of Miss Stricklcr, the players developed a skill and expertness on the court which proved to he very worthy of recognition. Warm spring days found physical education classes tripping lo the Boylan Terrace field for the best loved sport of spring — baseball. Class competition during the past season was par- ticularly keen. After rigid daily practices, the teams were selected from a very efficient group of hopeful candidates. Attendance of a required number of these practices won points toward a college letter. The championship play held in May was a demon- stration ol such batting as was a challenge to our own varsity team. Never before has such aptitude .inil eagerness been exhibited among the players. The sottball tournament closed the women ' s sports program lor the year, but feeling was as strong in this playing as in that of any of the other games. A S E B A L L Elkins, Holmes. Moore. Lindlev, Miran. Johnson Helmes. Guthrie. Marlctte 197] , T E N N I S With the coming of warm spring days, the tennis courts are overrun with scores of hopeful CO-eds striving zealously to improve their skill in the use of the racquet. Tennis found its place in the physical educa- tion classes where the girls learned the funda- mentals ol the game and then put them into practice and action on the courts. Tournaments ol hoth singles and doubles were run oft this year by way of the ladder system. Anyone with the required number of supervised practices was eligible for entrance in the tourna- ment which was played off in the latter part of May. Although only in its second year in the curricu- lum at High Point, perhaps no physical education course has caused quite as much interest and en- thusiasm as has dancing. I nder the capable direction of .Miss Strickler. tin- young women were taught the fundamentals ol ballroom, interpretative, and tolk dancing. This department was greatly responsible for the success of the May Day festivities. Those who showed outstanding improvement and abil- ity were selected to participate in the May Day program.
