Begin a New Year For HPC Students Lines, lines, and more lines. A student finds himself standing in many lines before the painful task of registering is over. These students look like they have been standing in line for a long time, even patient Dick Stinson looks like he is ready to give up and go home. With the return of the upperclassmen to the campus comes the task of registration for fall semester classes. Registration always involves standing in line — to get into the gym, to get the necessary cards, to get into the desired course sections, to pay the Bursar, to turn the completed medical form in to the nurse, to turn the cards in to the Registrar ' s office, and finally, stand- ing in line to get out of the K.vm. Registration, in spite of all efforts, is always mass confusion. Rushing to and fro in the gymnasium . . . trying to find that certain English professor . . . breaking for lunch . . . grabbing a quick bite to eat . . . and hurrying back to the gym to see if registration cannot be finsihed before midnight. This is all a part of college life. Director of Student Personnel, Mr. Taylor, and his assistants seem to be relieved by the rest given to them. Dean of the College, Dr. David Cole, is a very busy person during regis- tration. His desk is the scene of many conferences about schedules, hours, history courses, and many other pro- blems.

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.

Students Are Greeted by As the new college year begins, the students are greeted by old and familiar sights as well as by new ones. These new additions to the campus add to the unique personality of High Point College. Campus cop, Mr. Allen, is still giving out those dreaded parking tickets, and the fine has in- creased to $2 this year. The bookstore has added a new collection of books to whet the appetite of eager, young intellectuals. The tower of Roberts Hall still stands as guardian angel over the campus. An expansion in the size of the campus brought new housing for upperclassmen and fraternity men. Millis Dormitory was ready for occupancy at the beginning of the semester. A new and most unusual sight around the campus these days is the pet Kitty cat of one student. The cat sits patiently in the car during his master ' s classes. ■- ' lit ■ in 1 lit ' J
