Introduction The Rhodo- dendron , as yearbook, has spanned a period of fifty- five years - a time span which has seen World War, de- pression, space ex p I oration, advances in medicine and nealth care, social and racial turmoil, as well as declines in religion and the nuclear unit (family). Since the year 1921, the school, as recorded by the Rhododendron, has evolved from tiny Appalachian Training School to Appalachian State Normal School and on to Appalachian State Teachers College and Appalachian State University. Within that First Yearbook-1921 Rhododendron time frame, the yearbook has recorded the construction of more than thirty-five major buildings and the expansion of the campus to over two hundred and fifty five acres. Appalachian has known change, and the Rhododendron has chronicled the flux and flow in its historical pages. In general, college yearbooks are as varied as the schools they represent. Every school ' s yearbook is the end product of a long process of evolution, yet every yearbook is sure to be modified, whether in form or content, during years to come. Ideas, themes, and graphic techniques constantly come and go, as evident on this campus in the last ten years. Styles have exhibited wild trends such as The Coffee Top Model , where the yearbook was printed in a double width notebook format, or the flip book where half of the yearbook was up-side-down giving it two front covers. But the basic mission of any yearbook, of course, remains its task of chronicling the events of the academic year, satisfying the yearnings of nostalgia, supplying a face where the memory fails, and graphical- ly displaying the events that might have taken place SHERRI BLACKLEY SHERRYWINCHESTER DEBORAH MORGAN FRANK HUNNICUTT ANDRE WOODS JOHN SNYDER BRAD MICHALOVE ERNESTTEDDER LEON HILL Bart Austin - Editor-in-Chief of the 1977 Rhododendron.
