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.

Orientation and Registration As a part of Orientation this year, all incoming freshmen were required to read three books: Look Homeward Angel, Conscience On Campus, and Lord Of The Flies. During Orientation Week, these books were discussed by students and professors. Dr. Hudgins is shown leading one group. The freshman year begins with Orientation ... a mix- ture of confusion and excitement, a few tears shed, the joy of meeting other students, moving in, unpack- ing, meeting professors and Dr. Patton, parting, en- tertainments, tests and more tests, and finally, those few days after classes start. There seems to be an electric current that runs through the atmosphere of the campus during the first few weeks of school. Or- ientation is an important part of the freshman year at college, and during this time, the new student becomes acquainted with the school ... its quh-ks, its traditions, its personality, and its people. The freshman adjusts to college life and becomes a vital and moving part of the campus. An important part of Orientation is the taking of many different tests. Several students are shown laboring over one such test. Dr. William Matthews, advisor to the freshman class, is shown talking to the new students in the auditorium. Several members of the Orientation Committee are seated behind Dr. Matthews.
