SPIRITUAL PHASE I will life up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my helpf, In the ,light that is shed by North Greenville, the spiritual phase takes the form of a ray-a ray which shines brightly upon each North Greenville student and guides in the many responsibilities of all who are a part of the school. With its picturesque setting in the moun- tains, North Greenville appeals to all who see and feel its grandeur. This magnificence is one that consists of a Christian atmosphere which is maintained each year by new students. These students make up the Baptist Student Union and the organizations such as the Volunteer Band, the Ministerial Band, and the Young Women's Auxiliary. At North Greenville students are able to strengthen their religious life through the college, church, morning devotions, chapel programs, and vespers. Each year Christian Focus Week is held. This year it was from October 3-October S. Visiting speakers were invited to lead chapel services, dormitory discussions, and seminars, at which students learned more about such things as doc- trine, attitude, and behavior. e E E E

SOCIAL PHASE Upon arriving at North Greenville this year, the Freshmen immediately found themselves in an atmosphere of warm friendship. The Student Government and Baptist Student Union Execu- tive Councils arrived at school early to plan events to help the new students adjust to campus life. During the orientation period all Freshmen attended parties and singspirations, toured the campus, and enjoyed general fellowship. Through these various activities the new stu- dents became better acquainted with the cam- pus and with one another. During the year every student has been able to enjoy fellowship with others through a broad range of campus functions. This year students have enjoyed a greater social life through the use of a new student center with such facilities as the canteen, two game rooms, a conference room, and a study lounge. The social life has been projected each day also as the students attend classes. Before and after classes the congested halls, the crowded canteen, and the many students who are plan- ning programs suggest that each student is seek- ing an understanding of his fellow students.

as ,F- Q. ATHLETIC PHASE At North Greenville the Athletic Department plays an important role in the lives of its stu- dents. The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat inspire our students on to higher accom- plishments. Throughout the years North Green- ville has made an outstanding record in inter- collegiate sports, especially basketball. North Greenville has graduated some outstanding players, some have received athletic scholarships to senior colleges and have become influential in the field of sports both as coaches and physi- cal education instructors. Athletics has helped many deserving students obtain an educationg otheiwise they might not have had an oppor- tunity to demonstrate their abilities. The Athletic Department has made many im- provements in the last few years such as a new swimming pool, swimming instruction, full time physical education instructors, and a more varied program in physical education.
