However, even the most disciplined and dedicated student was forced to relax and forget about classes for awhile to retain his sanity. Free time could be spent pursuing a variety of interests. Socializing with one's broth- ers and sisters in social groups; broadening one's talents through band, chorus, drama, or art; increasing athletic ability in intramurals; or strengthening friendships with those one lived with were all escapes from academia. Activities, such as Homecoming, the TWIRP Dance, and special movies, sponsored by the Furman Univer- sity Social Activities Board highlighted the year. There were numerous diversions both on campus and in the Greenville area. How one took a break was not the important part. The important part was to revitalize the mind in order to make the student more receptive to new ideas and help him continue his pursuits. Iw Student hfe 7
