SOCIAL ACADEMIC RELIGIOUS ATHLETIC It is through activities that community members are able to form relationships. These activi- ties serve as outlets for the physical and mental energies of the group. For these activities to be successful, there must exist a sufficient scope of activities to satisfy the desires and needs of all. The major activity is within the academic realm. Its purpose is to stimulate intellectual growth. Social activities allow the students to communicate as a body. Herein lies the spirit of fellowship that adds meaning to the life of the college community. These activities allow the individual to identify himself with others and, at the same time, with the group as a whole. Religious activities seek to further one ' s identification with others and with God. They are responsible for setting the community life on a sound spiritual basis. This is accomplished by teaching and promoting group work, individual work, meditation and reflection. Recreation is a vital element in the social well- being of the community. It serves in two basic ways: First, by offering physical stimulation and impetus to better and continued health; secondly, by creating a fine spirit of group loyalty.

i Dedicated to W. CONARD GASS One of the beautiful legends of our land tells of the exist- ence years ago of a towering likeness on a mountainside of a man whose benign expression blessed all the inhabitants living in the valley below. So powerful was the influence of this silent figure that the people of the valley became more and more loving and kind in character from reflect- ing upon the vision ever-present before their eyes. The parable contained in this legend has undoubtedly been enacted over and over again on college campuses every- where as students have beheld in beloved professors admirable qualities of goodness and greatness, worthy of emulation. It is upon such a beloved professor that the Pine Burr staff now pauses to bestow honor in the dedication of the college annual of 1964. For ten years this quiet, unassuming teacher, like a skillful potter, has been helping to mold the lives of countless young people on this campus whom he has taught and with whom as a friend he has associated and counseled. In him we find remarkably well-balanced ele- ments, qualifying him equally well as an able preacher and an excellent teacher. He possesses, for instance, moral forti- tude to stand ever unflinchingly for right, tempered with humility: an insatiable eagerness for new truth, balanced with profound respect for the sacred tra ditions; firmness in upholding high scholastic standards, blended with the sfiiril (if love characteristic of a great teacher. Out (if a profound respect for the character and life of our friend, with deep appreciation for his personal contri- liulions to our lives at this institution, and in recognition of his distinguished service to the cause of Christ and to Christian education at Campbell College and elsewhere, we dedicate this annual to Dr. W. Conard Gass.
