As is true with most colleges, High Point abounds with many buildings of different shapes and sizes. Colonial architecture pre- vails on the campus. The sight of these buildings is the first impression that a student gets of High Point College. The newcomers do not see the students, the professors, or the Bookstore. They first be- come acquainted with the tower of Rob- erts Hall, ascending toward the utmost peak of knowledge — the Lamp of Learn- ing. With this first look, all the other buildings fall into view: Woman ' s Hall. McCulloch Hall, Memorial Auditorium.

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.
