Sometimes recreation took the students away from the books and campus routine. The annual outing at Camp Mack was all-school in fact as well as name. Its well-planned athletic activities attracted the majority of the community in inter-class competitions, as the juniors took the trophy. Again, an outing may have been a small group, perhaps in the college woods around a campfire, where the students caught in the moment of the stillness of the night and the fire ' s bright glow, the deep comradeship and sensitivity they held for others.

In the hurry and bustle of the academic life, the opportunities for the scholars to get to- gether three times a day for their repast was a welcomed and cherished institution. For some it was the family-style table in the dining hall, for others, the casual cafeteria-style of the Oaks, or perhaps a local restaurant. But eating, and the fellowship that went with it, occupied a large and pleasant part of their time.

In outdoor gatherings students often shar- ed in many of the more active sports, a rough tug-of-war or a fast game of volleyball, enjoying the feeling of work- ing with the others around them as a team, or competing in friendly friction. Yet, there were many other diversions that occupied their time, ping-pong, for exam- ple, even some monopoly, or a brainracking game of chess. Recreation was a recognized, utilized and fully enjoyed part of college happenings. twelve
