When the curriculum was revised in 1944 and during the revisions of die curriculum in subsequent years, this idea has been given additional form. The catalogue states: The Oglethorpe idea in a few words is to forge the strongest possible links between the academic and practical, between human knowledge and know-how, between culture and proficiency, between past and present. We are persuaded there is ultimately no contradiction between the concepts represented in each of these usually divorced parts. For more than two tliousand years, the general theory of the purposes of education has been divided into two opposing camps, one insisting that the purpose of education is to adjust the individual to society and to satisfy his material and social needs and the other camp insisting that the purpose of education is the development in the student of an understanding of the role of man in history and culture. Both of these ideals are val- uable in themselves, but it is a mistake to regard them as mutually exclusive. It is the purpose of Oglethorpe to bring these ideas together into a pattern so that whatever voca- tion is selected ultimately by the student, he may bring to it not only proficiency and basic skills, but an understanding of his significance and his obligations. The curriculum at Oglethorpe insures that the student may not during his college experience be concerned exclusively with either education for making a living or education for making a life, but rather with a synthesis of these ideas. The mere creation of a curriculum, however, does not insure a well-balanced educa- tional experience. Such a balance is ultimately the responsibility of the student. It is hoped that an environment may be created in which this synthesis may take place, and that Oglethorpe students may discover for themselves the relationships that give value to experience, enrichment to life, and a sense of social obligation. — Donald C.

STUDENT HONOR COURT The Honor Court is composed of nine students, two elected from each class and a Chairman appointed by the Chairman of the pre- ceding year. These members are chosen for their sense of responsibility and honor in the belief that such students are capable of judging infractions of the Honor Code. The efficient functioning of the Honor Code, Honor Court, and Honor Committee, however, lies ultimately in the individual student, depending upon his understanding of the basic concepts of social obligation which are emphasized as an integral segment of the Oglethorpe Plan.

The Stormy Petrels, coached by the giant killer, Garland Pinholster. sat up. reared back, and struck out with a grim determination that knocked down any foe blocking their goal. The winningest team in Georgia. they called the mighty Petrels, a title well-deserved. The formula was perfection. Sweat, practice, drilling, the best of coaching, spirit, guts, and maxi- mum use of ability equaled 21 wins and 1 loss, the G.I.A.C. season trophy, the G.I.A.C. tournament trophy, a long sought revenge against Mercer University, and the best defensive average in the N.A.r.A. The Petrels this year made a giant step toward a place in the nation ' s basketball spotlight! 108 SEASON ' S RESULTS OPPONENT La Grange _... 50 Berry 31 Troy State 63 Shorter 56 Presbyterian 55 Mercer 57 West Georgia 15 La Grange 45 Valdosta 48 North Georgia ___ 49 Shorter 37 Delta State ... 45 Jacksonville 19 Piedmont 44 West Georgia . 36 Berry 45 Jacksonville 17 Piedmont 39 North Georgia 45 Valdosta 46 Newberry 57 Mercer 61 G.LA.C.

The midnight basketball games, the wild climb up the ten- nis ladder, the twilight softball games, and the friendly competi- tive spirit of the most-favored vol- leyball will long be remembered MURALS by those students who took part. Jay Dye, the Intramural Director, was always on hand to issue equipment, organize a game, or referee, solving a dispute over whether an arm was over the net, the ball was foul, or someone had stepped out of bounds. 18 ' ' ' wttvi -4 f i 1 ' ' 1 f 4 W i L 1 SCHOOL SPIRIT When the Saints began to play, and the cheerleaders began to yell, Ogee made his appearance, and the Oglethorpe crowd rose en masse to cheer the Petrels, the gym was filled with a thunderous roar. The spirit which the Oglethorpe students and faculty displayed this season was an important factor in our team ' s outstanding performance. 19 Best Wishes for a Successful Future THE OGLETHORPE PHARMACY SERVING NORTH ATLANTA WITH EXPERT PRESCRIPTION SERVICE AND FREE DELIVERY Open Daily From 8:30 A.M.
