In the city of Asheboro we are fortu- nate that there is a wide range of in- stitutions and organizations that aug- ment our personal development, each adding tothe joy of living in this center of North Carolina. Major religious deno- minations are represented through numerous churches where every citizen may worship according to his belief. The homes of our town are many and beauti- ful, given cherished touches by the friendly and happy families that occupy them. While some are interested in the recreation and pleasure that they find through study groups, book clubs, and civic clubs, there are those who utilize the many recreational activities that are offered in Asheboro. Outdoor summer parks and the recreational center are main areas of supervised recreation, where one can participate in basketball, baseball, tennis, bowling, and swimming. In other municipal and private centers, golf, canoeing, boating, wrestling, and fishing enhance the social and recreation- al life of our town. Nevertheless, the young people of Asheboro increase their social growth enormously at school. Here youthful exuberance is successfully charged and challenged by the complexity, the variety, the versatility of student life. Although each of us is striving to attain a measure of success, there can be no degree awarded to match the friendships, happiness, opportunities, and school spirit that we have experienced during our years as students. l

During the past decade growth of an encouraging significance has been witnessed in Asheboro. Encompassing the mind, heart, and soul is a spiritual aura which reveals itself in the town and its people. Indicative of this religious interest is the marked increase in churches of the Asheboro area. Throughout the past ten years we have seen the erection of approximately twenty new churches and an even greater number of addi- tions and expansions. By construction of new churches and enlargement of numerous others, Asheboro has provided facilities for a greater representa- tion of its populace in worship centers. lt has afforded them new, modern environs to lend an atmosphere ever conducive to real religious worship. In accordance with its reputation as a center of religious activity, Asheboro has a number of churches representing the following denominations: Bap- tist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Congregational Christian, Holiness, Friends, Episcopal, Evangelical Reform, Lutheran, Seventh Day Ad- ventist, Church of God, and Wesleyan Methodist. Newcomers to Asheboro note with appreciation that the church of their choice is available, attended by a cordial congregation. So one observes that even in the hustle and bustle of a growing city, people pause to exercise the privilege of spiritual freedom. The impatient tempo, the restless pace are momentarily stilled. In gratitude is He worshiped who inspires all growth. A place for quiet meditation and reverent worship.
