High Point, NC -- Alice Sink, a retired associate professor of English at High Point University, recently published a book that contains early details of High Point College.

The book, "Hidden History of the Piedmont Triad," was launched on June 19. It includes a chapter, titled "High Point College: The Early Years (1924-1927)," and is based on research and interviews from the early 1980s with Herman Coble, the first HPC graduate, as well as Lelia Coble, N.P. Yarborough and Louise Adams.

"Included in the book are old photographs given to me by Mr. Coble before he died," Sink says. "There are also pictures printed of the Masons getting ready for the cornerstone ceremony on Nov. 14, 1924, and photos of Herman Coble, construction of McCulloch Dormitory and a program from the First Annual Banquet on May 4, 1927.”
