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

Builds Aiming toward 1974, the year marking HPC ' s Golden Anniversary, the Golden Decade Development Program continued to move toward the raising of ten million dollars in ten years. Officially initiated September 1, 1965, this program has been the most ambitious undertaking ever attempted by HPC. With many Golden Decade Achieve- ments already tangibly evident, the year 1968-69 saw the end of Phase I of the program and the beginning of Phase II. During the last years of Phase I, several new facilities made their way to the campus. A new academic facility, Ha- worth Hall of Science, was occupied in the fall of 1967. This year a modern co-ed dormitory and a much-needed Health Center emerged as evidences of the Golden Decade Program of HPC. The major task being undertaken in Phase II of the Golden Decade is to raise funds for a new Student Union complex. The proposed building, according to ten- tative artist ' s plans made public this year, will contain a book store, lounges, various game rooms, a multi-purpose dining hall, a day student locker area, meeti ng rooms, and publications offices. Believing that the emphasis should be placed on the development of the best program for a limited number of students, HPC plans to keep its enrollment at approximately 1200. With this concentra- tion on the Golden Decade Development Program, HPC continues to be a college in motion, finding itself in the strongest position in its history. HPC students were proud of their new coed dormitory, completed for use in the fall of 1968. 1Z «J Dedicated on October 28, 1967, Haworth Hall of Science was the first building completed with Golden Decade funds. 23
