The Greenville city seal. It's a black and white round wheel-looking object, with the words "City of Greenville, South Carolina, 1831" around the border. On the inside, a star representing people, mountains/trees, and a cog to represent industry line the circle to give the impression of unity within a wheel.

An old-timey, sepia-toned photo of soldiers at Camp Sevier. There are four rows of young men lined up, facing the camera in their uniforms and brimmed hats. Some are standing, some are sitting, some are lying on their sides. A wooden building is behind them, and a field for training is behind that building.
