Arranging clothing in under- sized bureaus and closets is trying; adjusting to roommates, dormitory and campus life is often dif- ficult. Through it all the Y.W. and Y.M. make a special effort to help each freshman feel at home.

Around 800 p eople came up the hill to Maryville College in 1956-57. They came from nearby Alcoa, Sevierville and Harri- man, Tennessee, and from farther away Bell, California; Elk City, Oklahoma-, Elba, New York and Miami Florida. From forty-one states and countries they came, and this is their story. The upper classmen renewed old friend- ships, began new ones, and soon settled back down into college life. After the ex- citement wore off the freshmen followed suit. Before long the year was really under way. The purpose and only theme of this book is to show tlie importance of that year. We have attempted to reflect those patterns which are familiar and the people who fol- low them at Maryville College. It is the progress of a year that grows in impor- tance as it slips further into the memories of those that lived it. ATHLETICS ACTIVITIES
