Parallel Campus Moods As HPC stands through the four seasons of the year, changes occur in the pace of campus activity as well as in the physical features of the campus. The students begin their fall semester at HPC in the summer enthusiasm of late August. Autumn brings falling leaves and a tendency toward settling down. When the winter chill invades the campus, everyone seems to turn inward, leaving the impression of inactivity. As spring comes along, the sunbathers emerge in full force, and often the thoughts of study are nearly negligible. The cycle repeats itself each year, changing the students ' moods as the weather changes. Summer at HPC means the reflection of the sun in a flowing fountain (left), while spring brings countless HPC sunbathers to the public ' s attention (below). 21

a changing campus • When the outsider passes HPC he is confronted by a campus in constant change. Each year the campus sheds its summer dress when autumn arrives and later watches winter snows melt into days of spring fever. Since HPC opened its doors in 1924, this cycle of campus atmosphere has repeated itself again and again. High Point city residents have watched the campus change its face through the seasons year after year. It has been obvious to any observer, however, that HPC is changing in other more signifi- cant ways. Since its inception in 1964, the Golden ' Decade Development Program has mani- fested itself forcefully and con- structively. New structures con- tinue to emerge, contrasting the older buildings surrounding them, seemingly placing tradition and progress side by side. As the College continues to unfold for the public its new achieve- ments, it shows an impetus which will promote HPC as a college in motion for years to 9fe ( r Seasons 1 4 t •««•» » ' ■■■• w ■ Students and professors, especially in the science departments, find the fall days perfect for constructive field trips (above). The temporary dormancy of such educational outings, brought about by the cold winter weather, is suggested by the icicle formations along the rail- ings outside Haworth Hall (right). 20
