Many an HPC student finds the view from the library window so enticing he cannot study Fall ' 70 Brings Open Stacks HMD iliSii ilHiii The flowing fountain adds a touch of beauty to the library ' s front lawn. Freshman Paul Sexton escapes from the noisy dorm to the quiet library to squeeze in a moment ' s study. One of the most frequented places on campus during the evening is Wrenn Memorial Library, built in 1937. Many go to study in quiet surroundings, to take advan- tage of the limited activity required there which is conducive to concen- tration, or to browse through the recently opened stacks. Throughout the first semester freshman women used the library as a legal escape from the seclusion of closed study. At times, a student ' s presence in the library is not his own choice, particularly if he settles in the base- ment. There, in the environment of shelved fiction, the Reader ' s Guide and the copy machine, the student may read one required periodical article or spend weeks working on a large research paper. 1 1

Campus Extremes Bob Lentz enjoys the convenience of the science library located in Ha worth Hall. Miles apart in distance, history, architecture and classes, Cooke and Haworth Halls present difficul- ties daily to the students. Situated on opposite extremes of the campus, the buildings are about ten minutes apart for the walking student. Many of them reach class panting, especially after climbing the hill to Cooke, and then mounting another flight of stairs. Cooke Hall, built in 1954, was named in honor of Dr. Dennis H. Cooke, former President of High Point College. It originally housed the science de- partments, but now the English and Business Ad- ministration Departments occupy it. The science departments, along with the Math, History and Sociology Departments are now located in Ha- worth, which was built as part of the Golden Decade program in 1967. The structure is such that additional floors can be added when necessary. Haworth represents 8:00 A.M. Biology lectures to one hundred-fifty students, plus lab sessions that last until 5:00 P.M. However, both buildings are specialized along class and lecture lines and repre- sent progress at High Point College. For the driving student, however, these buildings represent con- venience. Both are well-situated to provide park- ing places. Senior Mike Lewis and Dr. Epperson discuss the problems encountered in measuring vapors. I :
