Steps . ♦ . Dotting the High Point College campus from the new Horace Haworth Hall of Science, the first tan- gible result of the Golden Decade Development Pro- gram, to Roberts Hall, one of the College ' s original buildings, are steps, steps, and more steps. Just as these steps are symbols of the College ' s physical progress from its beginnings in 1924 to its present efforts in 1068 so are they symbols of the individual student ' s inner academic, social, and spiritual prog- ress. The physical plant of High Point College provides the atmosphere for growth in its students from orientation through graduation as they are molded by scholarship and fellowship. The process of matur- ing and learning is a never-ending one with new steps to be conquered throughout life, but those steps up to the platform to receive that college diploma will be remembered as some of the most significant steps ever taken.

New edifices embellished the old on the cam- pus this year as the College made strides to- ward improvements in facilities. The dedications of Horace Haworth Hall of Science and Dennis H. Cooke Hall, formerly used as the science building, on October 28, 1967, marked the ex- pansion of academic facilities at High Point College. Construction of a new dormitory and an infirmary for the 1968-1969 academic year was begun this year and illustrated the College ' s continuing interest in improving conditions for its students on campus. Other physical changes that gave the campus a new appearance during this year included an outdoor basketball court behind the Student Center, a brick wall around a portion of Harri- son Hall, and a new victory bell tower presented as a gift to the school by the 1967 graduating class. In the course of the year, the College pro- vided many new byways, hallways, and stair- ways for student travel, and the erection of a temporary barbed wire fence in place of an often unnoticed keep-off-the-grass sign suggested the administration ' s desire for these designated walkways to be used more consistently.
