The subtle signs of change and progress which are always present on Virginia lntermont's campus gave way in 1966-67 to very obvious and important evidence that the academic process here is neither standing still nor inching forward. Dramatic change in every phase of campus life has characterized the year. Though spiritual growth remained an integral part of the Intermont girl, she found, in the complete reorganiza- tion of the campus religious activities, new avenues down which to travel in her search for the ultimate meaning of life. Changes in the physical make-up of the college have been made often over the years, but this year saw adopted a whole new concept for the entire campus. The old front gates fell before the bulldozer, construction on a new chapel was begun, and an ultimate plan for all buildings to face a quadrangle began to be more than an architectls drawing. Not only did new faces appear in the office of the Dean of Students and other administrative offices, but a changed and revitalized interpretation of the function of these offices was present. lntellectual growth, inherent in the Intermont girl, was fostered and stimulated by a lecture series that presented world-renowned speakers who were on campus for a day, lecturing formally, conducting seminars, and meet- ting the students face to face as individuals. Even in the lighter side of life, there was change. The out-of-date Rat Weekn was abolished! Change was and continues to be evidentg but the spirit of Intermont remains and Hall her daughters adore herf, 1 ., , .EE fri 4 91 X

The lntermont girl faced a social change and had an opportunity to develop lasting friendships through social events on campus. Fall Frolics held in October featured a concert with the Jerneymen, a favorite folk-singing group from East Tennessee State. There was also a Hmixeri' with The Escorts performing. Thanksgiving gave an opportunity to show a genuine spirit of giving. The girls of each dormitory hall collected food for that hall's basket, which was presented in Z1 special Thanksgiving Chapel Service and later distributed personally to needy families. The Christmas Formal, held at the Martha Wash- ington Inn on December 10, was sponsored by the Sophomore Class. The Childrenis Christmas Party brought happiness to one hundred and fifty-children and as many lntermont girls. Christmas caroling and club parties set the mood for the true spirit of the holidays which began December 15. The Freshman Class successfully took its turn at entertainment in February with the Sweetheart Dance. Publications Weekend remains a cherished memory. The dance held in April began the rush of events leading to final exercises. May Day and Graduation left a golden touch to a momentous year . . . lntermont Students Mixers bring in the strangest people. t. 23 - . I . Q y . ,N 1 - T .,- if f .
