Physical Properties of Campus Are Signs of Its Uniqueness A campus is made up of many things — people, trees, sidewalks, classrooms, bonks and buildings. These things make campuses universal, but each campus has its own unique qualities. The uniqueness of High Point College endears it to each and every student who passes through the portals of Roberts Hall. Roberts Hall is the most prominent building on campus. Its spire can be seen from any vantage point on the campus and when the weather is foggy, the tower seems to hover protectively over the college. Something new has been added to the campus this year. White parking signs have made their appearance. 7

DEDICA TION College is a time of questioning and of doubting; yet if one truly searches, it is a time of answers and of assurance. Severed from the restraining, de- pendent cords of home, the student naively surges forth into life only to be caught in the undertow of inevitable difficulties in adjustment, learning, and growing emotionally and mentally. However, if a person is fortunate, he will meet and come to know one individual — a cognitive professor, a con- fident guide, and a compassionate friend — who will open the doorway to erudition and self-realization. We, at High Point College, have such an indivi- dual, a person who goes beyond the facade of mun- dane interest and dedicates his time, his knowledge, his being to assisting students. Not only does he open vast vistas of informa tion for the academic development of the students, but he also strives to strengthen individuals to understand and master their own emotions and conflicts. In appreciation for his ceaseless efforts in the continuance of high educational standards and Christian ideals, we the Senior Class dedicate the 1964 edition of the Zenith to the man who leaves with us his ideal — A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another, as I have loved you — Mr. John D. Martin. Mr. Martin spends half of his teaching load counseling students who need specialized help with personal problems and study skills. Here he is shown helping a student learn to study effec- tively. Students must have the absolute trust of an individual before he talks frankly with an advisor. This picture reflects the confidence our student body has in Mr. Martin. There is seldom a moment to relax when one as conscientiously as does the man we honor. Here he is shown in a rare moment of relaxation.

Freshmen Begin a New and Exciting Year A freshman ' s first day at High Point College is a mix- ture of new and exciting ex- periences. Many willing and eager hands are ready to help new students unload cars and transport belongings to the dorms. Several upperelass- men boys, like these two Larrys, found themselves suffering from aching backs and strained muscles as the result of thousands of heavy suitcases, stuffed trunks and mysterious boxes. Stuffed animals by the b o x 1 o a d s f o u n d new homes in the rooms of VV Oman ' s Hall. Mass confusion reigned as new students became ac- quainted with their new homes, new friends and said goodbyes to their families. Sunday night found the fresh- men making new friends among the oldtimers on cam- pus.
