PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE To the students, alumni, faculty, administration and staff, High Point College is a special place. Students arrive at the College as freshmen, not knowing exactly what to expect of the four years they will spend here. They are filled with high hopes and plans for the future — and, in most cases, some anxieties. Often they find more work than they had anticipated. Invariably they develop life-long fmendships growing out of their shared experiences of cramming for final exams, working on term papers, spending leisure moments over coffee in the cafeteria and snack bar, and the like. Many of them find their future mates, the man or woman they will marry and with whom they will raise their own families. When, as alumni, they look back on their years at High Point College, the long hours of work and study fade from memory and they tend to recall only the good times. Then they are filled with pride. Then they realize that there was more to being a student at High Point College than just studying and preparing papers. Though they were unaware of it at the time they were students, they now realize, as alumni, the meaning of Alma Mater — the depth of pride in the institution to which they gave their efforts and which, in turn, helped shape them into the men and women they now are. To the faculty and staff and administration of the College, High Point College is also a very special place. It is, of course, where they work. But to these people their work is much more than just the way they earn their livelihood. It is, as probably is the case with most professionals, a commitment to what they believe in. The common thread that runs throughout all our thoughts about High Point College is, of course, a certain idealism about the meaning and significance of higher education. As students, as alumni, as faculty or staff or administrators, each of us believes that the liberal arts experience in a college such as ours has a unique contribution to make to the individual and to society. The faculty and administrators have dedicated their professional lives to this ideal. The students have or will devote at least four years of their lives to this same ideal. As you look back on the College as alumni, 1 hope you will recall chapel services on Sunday mornings, the basketball and soccer games and tennis matches, the opening convocations — in other words, all the memories of the good times this 1984 annual will evoke for years to come. I hope you will also look back with love, humor, pride in Alma Mater, and a certain nostalgic conviction that these were, indeed, some of the best years of our lives. Charles R. Lucht President President 17
