WWE AMI The purpose of the Asbury institu- tions being that of developing the best and highest type of spirituality and per- sonality extends into the social and cul- tural life. The Asbury artist series has again brought some fine musical con- certs to enrich and to cultivate a higher appreciation for the fine arts. The fac- ulty and student body of Asbury also provide a variety of recitals, plays and special programs. Whether it is a Sat- urday night grill party or a formal artist series program, the social life at Asbury weaves itself into a memory of pleasure and delight that is long remembered as a part of campus life. Pictured on the opposite page are the ‘'Southernaires, who appeared on this year's artist series, and a representative scene from ''The Rivals,'' a play presented by the college junior class.

MINANY oPOhT “He plays best who prays best—he prays best who plays best. ' The Seminary recognizes that along with the emphasis on the spiritual and the academic there is also a vital need of building strong physical bodies. An endeavor to do this is made through a well-defined pro- gram of intramural athletics, consisting of teams from the college and Seminary. As athletic director this year Kenneth Harper guided the Seminary in the friendly skirmishes. Softball and basketball may be properly called the major sports at Asbury. The Seminary enters two teams in each of these sports. One of these teams is taken from the junior class, the other from the middler and senior classes. The Junior Eagles soared high this vear in capturing second place in the campus basketball tournament. The highlight of the basketball season, however, came when the college all-stars edged out the Seminary all-stars in a thrilling and exciting game by the score of 45-42, before a packed gym. Although the Seminary was nosed out of first place in basketball, it proudly displays its leader, Kenneth Harper, who was crowned campus ping pong champ. For those who do not participate in these sports, Asbury offers a variety of other athletic contests, such as volley ball, tennis and track, thus endeavoring to make it possible for all to take part.
