W ith winter come dances, basket- ball, concerts, term papers and exams. Then, spring with the awakening that our vear is almost completed. Hours are crowded with baseball, tennis, last-minute projects, Mav Dav, and finally graduation. A vear at Appalachian— 1956— truly, a vear of changes— a new administration, new buildings, new rules, but perhaps the greatest change— the maturing of young minds in the direction of independence and individuality. MAY dedication To one who has gi en generously of herselt in her deahngs with us, demonstrated faith in our integrity, and helped us to understand ourselves and others better, we, the staff of the 1956 Rhododend ron, dedicate this volume to Miss Barbara Stephenson, a teacher, a counselor, a friend. administration Will I i Pi lmmons A.B., M.A., Ph.D Pres ' hiciil I).
