Abstract:
A moment of relaxation among the test tubes, inoculating needles, and microscopes of microbiology lab. A tense moment as the Rebels play a hard game of ball. The potpourri of campus life requires a variety of diversions to engage the interests. Select features of the college world around us indicate our patterns of endeavor. For the studious among us there is the quietness of Powell Library with several thousand volumes to its credit. The nature-minded person might take a stroll among the towering pines of the campus, a Sunday afternoon walk along the camellia trail or observe as an abundance of literal and figurative harmony is brought to our lives in the springtime as one sits by the brook in Drexel Park listening to the singing of the birds or looking at the innumerable azaleas as they burst forth in early spring . . . these are the things which students remember about VSC. Being among the buildings of beautiful Spanish architecture makes one feel that he is in some far away land with lovely senoritas everywhere, but after a moment's recollection he knows that he is in the heart of South Georgia.
