A casual clasp of hands, a teasing word, an inobtrusive message from one pair of eyes to another . . . and beneath these simple signs the breathless mystery of one heart reaching out to another.

In the reverent stillness of the chapel we bow our heads in a wordless supplication, and our hearts are locked together in the unity of our common prayer, our common quest. Committee meetings . . . club activities . . . not, as some charge, another type of recrea- tion for students, but another form of learning, the basis of the student life— the process by which High Point College builds good citizens for tomorrow.
