Noisy, Chaotic, Populous Consisting of Woman ' s, Wesley, North and Yadkin, the dormitory complex houses most of the women on campus. Women ' s was erected when the college was first built, housing all women students, the Home Economics Depart- ment and the infirmary. Additional rooms were added in 1937 and 1950 increasing the capacity to 150 freshmen. Susanna Wesley Hall was built in 1953 to house 50 wom- en. Plans are being made to convert the hall into several lounge areas. North Hall was built in 1958 and houses 100 women. Yadkin Hall, added in 1958 for 96 women completes the complex. Each of the dorms contains laundry facilities, T.V. rooms and study areas. With a little time and effort the rooms and halls are decorated, improvements are made and the dorms become the girls ' home away from home. Syd Winnings and Jan Wilkinson have created an interesting effect by papering their wall with toil and adding posters for color. Suzie Arnold types up a paper in the late hour typing room on second North. T.B. and Chen Palermo demonstrate some upperclassman study habits. Nancy Caldwell.

New Dorm Last, Student Opening in August, 1968, this new dormitory offered a unique experience for its 138 students. Housing 76 women and 62 men, the Co-Ed Dorm succeeded in creating a warm and communicative atmosphere be- tween the co-eds and its housemother, Mrs. Mary Bennett. Residents may be seen staging impromptu touch football games in the grass, strumming guitars on the balconies, watching television in the main lobby, or discussing problems of importance on any of the various stair landings. The spring of 1970 brought open visitation to the living room lounges of the Co-Ed Dorm, a privilege that has been much more used and enjoyed than abused. Originally intended to be converted into an all female dorm, few of the residents would want to be deprived of the living experience offered by High Point ' s Co- Ed Dorm. Jerri Reed and Steve Allan found the lobby of the Co-Ed Dorm a good place to watch the Super Bowl Game. Hidden behind the women ' s dorm complex, the well-landscaped dormitory was a beautiful addition to the HPC campus. Because of open visitation, the main lobby is seldom crowded unless residents ar interested in a particular television program. The balcony which fronts each suite provides a good view of all passers-by for Diane Roberts. . ' ■1
