FOREWORD How many times have we heard the old cliche, Nothing is constant but change itself ? Indeed, the world around us is constantly being modified, often at a frightening pace. And yet, we find that we too are not the same today as we were yesterday or as we will be tomorrow. The external world grows and stretches and expands and we find that we too must be transformed in order to take our proper place in this world Change is inevitable — it is imperative and quite beyond our control. The old will always yield to the new, the present will always step aside for the future. It can be an atmosphere of constant frustration and deep confusion, but at the same time it can be one of quite solenrmity if we learn how to reach within ourselves and develop our as yet imrecognized abilities. Change does not connote progress, for change merely indicates a different situation, where progress refers to an improved state. The distinction is an important one — yes, even vital, for if we are content to live a life of mere change we will find ourselves merely existing rather than living and we will miss the joy and richness of life. The transition from high school to college is a remarkable step, as we are constantly reminded, for it is here in college that we first come to grips with life as it really is. It is here that we must learn to grapple with this alarming struggle we call life — it is here that we must come to comprehend what will be demanded of us and what our faculties are for meeting these demands. The school year 1963-64 is one of great change at Maryville CoUege. Many obvious, physical changes have been made to existing facilities and plans have been inaugurated for many others. As well, we know that numerous, intrinsic adjustments have come about within our own beings. Will all these changes evolve into progress, in a moving forward? Only we can answer that question for only we can affect this change. That is why we are here.

These are the times that try men ' s souls I just want to warn you, now Maryville College, 1963-1964: in a brief nine months we ex- perienced all that we had anticipated, plus much that we had not expected, much that we had not desired. We grew and changed and progressed, yet in many ways remained the same. Holden Caulfleld????
