He served on the staff of the college newspaper and played on the baseball and basketball teams. He also participated in horse racing events at Deep Run Hunt Club in Richmond, winning such prestigious awards as the blue ribbon and silver cup.
Dr. Orphanidys received his DDS in 1938. After graduation, he worked for the

In You Rejoice
(O Tebi Radujetsja)
Liturgy of St. Basil - Tone 6
(English adaptation by Edward Sedor)
All creation rejoices in You,
O You who are full of grace,
the host of angels and all mankind.
O holy temple and spiritual paradise,
the glory of virgins,
from whom God was made flesh and became a little Child,
and is our God before all ages.
For He made You womb His throne,
and more spacious than the heavens.
All creation rejoices in You,
O You who are full of grace,
glory to You.
