Along with change and expansion came progress and improvement. Individuals prepared for the future as physical changes resulted in a step forward toward progress. Renovation of the Administration Building was the most evident physical change as students dodged workmen and building supplies. Another campus improvement was the additional sidewalks exten- ding from the Student Union. However as some sidewalks were added, others were being torn up as maintenance dug deep to work on the water lines. Fall rains kept these places virtual mud slides and at times impassable. Progressive changes were not limited to campus surroundinngs as Maryville businesses grew in number. The North Side Mall, Coaches II, Lemars Originals and K- Mart gave individuals a wider shop- ping selection. Fast food and pizza places increased when Taco Johns, Long John Silvers, Nice ' s Deli and John ' s Pizza opened for business. With these additions, students were not only exposed to a wider selection but were also affected by an in- crease in job opportunities. At times tradition and sentiment lost to progress— as in the case of the Landmark. The two-story struc- ture was indeed a landmark, a part of the town for nearly 100 years. But it got in the way of progress and was razed in late spring. Although some individuals ques- tion change, it is the only thing that has brought progress. People or in- dividuals emphasize it, believe in it, live by it and have learned to prosper and grow great by it. Change has become a way of life and a means of expanding awareness. 6 CHANGING SURROUNDINGS
