Kneeling: Jones, Richardson, Wake, Key During the Seminary Board meeting this past fall several students asked permission to establish inter-collegiate basketball competition with some nearby colleges. The board granted this permission on an experimental basis only. The games were to be arranged by a committee composed of board, faculty and student representatives. With a limited schedule, but with brave and ad- venturous spirit, the first inter-collegiate team went out to bear their testimony for Christ on the hard- wood and to bring recognition to the school. The results were as follows: Won by the Seminary: Campbellsville . Georgetown . Detroit Clowns . Campbellsville . Won by opponents: Centre. . . Cumberland . Pikeville. . . UO Keoerosne Pikeville .

THE SEMINARIAN The publication of a student yearbook from a graduate institution is a departure from the usual practice, but the Seminarian grows out of the general spirit of Asbury Semi- nary. The unusual family spirit enhanced by a deep sense of Christian fellowship which characterizes Asbury Semina- rians has led to a unique sentiment which makes a yearbook desirable as a means of recall in the future. Twenty-five years have passed in review, and today Asbury Theological Seminary stands at the threshold of greater achievements. It is the sincere wish of each person on the Seminarian staff that the 1948 edition of the student yearbook will bring a greater appreciation of this glorious history, and will carry with it not only the memory of immediate schoolmates, but also the challenge of a great tradition. The task of publishing such a volume is arduous, but it is the hope of the staff that the pleasure derived from the book by the student body will be commensurate with the work it has demanded. The excellent photography in the book is to be attributed to the skill of both Walter Petti- bone and Joseph Dizon. David Ostrander and Leon Gib- son freely gave of their talent and time to the editorial department whenever their services were requested. PAUL F. ABEL Editor ELMER NEUENSCHWANDER Business Manager

ATHLETICS Reported by Frank Davenport A Seminary is not usually an athletically minded institution. Though the emphasis is on spiritual and intellectual development, there has been an effort made to offer a program of recreation which would include everyone in the student body who is inter- ested in athletic competition. The Seminary fellows have always been keen competitors of the team from Asbury College. Al- though many times the underdog. the Seminarians at times have been the victors and the college fel- lows the victims. After a successful season ‘n basketball a year ago in which the Seminary Seniors finished second, the fellows matched their stamina against the fel- lows across the street in a track meet. In this as well the Seminary was the runner-up, scoring fifty- three total points in the men's class. Led by Wake and Davis, six first places went to the Seminary. The college Collegian, in its spring softball pre- dictions, hardly found room to mention the Semi- nary Seniors. Contrary to the inference of this fact, that Seminary team went through the entire season without a loss. The softball team retained its reputation this past fall. It was principally Key, the pitcher, backed substantially by heavy hitting teammates, who carried the season. The Seminary Juniors were able to claim second place honors with the Yellow Jackets of the college after a stiff race. LLOYD WAKE Student Athletic Manager
