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 :

Competition, Conflict and Control Mentioning Alumni Gymnasium brings sev- eral visual pictures to the mind of an HPC student. There is usually at least one memorable physical education course such as Folk Dancing at 8:00 A.M. or Field Hockey played in the wind of a freezing day. Alumni Gymnasium is also intramural basketball and just shooting a few baskets on Saturday after- noons. But mostly Alumni Gymnasium is the home of the Panthers and scene of tension- filled conference conflicts. It was constructed in 1957 in honor and memory of Alumni who made substantial contribution. The gym has a seating capacity of over 3,200 as well as facilities for the physical education depart- ment and athletic programs. Tubby Smith overtops arm action to get off a shot against Atlantic Christian. Phi Mu ' s and Alpha Gams vie for the jump ball to start a girl ' s intramural basketball game. The barny structure of the gym, although not a formal location, provides the needed audience room for graduation. Cathie Wilson practices stunts on the parallel bars during her free time with Nancy Crocket and Christie Cutrona as guards. 14 Located to the rear of the center of campus, Alumni Gymnasium is the center of sports and com- petitive activity.
