Gre€tings! 

The  Staff  of  the  1948-1949  M  Book  wish  you 
all  a  happy  and  successful  year.  If  this  book  helps 
you  in  any  way  toward  realizing  this  end,  we  feel 
that  our  efforts  in  preparing  it  have  been  worthwhile. 

Until  last  year  the  M  Book  was  designed  to 
acquaint  you  with  that  part  of  college  life  not  found 
in  the  classroom.  Then  it  was  expanded  so  that  it 
is  now  the  official  College  Handbook.  The  staff  has 
worked  with  the  Student  Council,  the  WSGA,  the 
MSO,  and  the  Executive  Council  of  the  Faculty  to 
present  to  you  a  brief  picture  of  life  at  Maryville. 

We  express  our  sincere  appreciation  to  all  who  have 
made  this  book  possible,  and  we  hope  that  in  some 
way  you  may  find  it  helpful  to  you. 

Sincerely, 

The  Staff

ALMA  MATER 

Where   Cbilhowee's   lofty   mountains

Proudly   stands   our  Alma   Mater, 
Noble,    grand,    and   true. 

Chorus 

Orange   Garnet,   float   forever, 

Ensign    of    our    hill! 
Hail  to  thee,  our  Alma  Mater, 

Hail  to  Maryville! 

As  thy  hilltop  crowned  with  cedars 

Ever  green  appears. 
So  thy  memory  fresh  shall  linger 

Through  life's  smiles  and  tears. 

Lift  the  chorus,   wake  the  echoes. 

Make   the    welkin    ring! 
Hail  the  queen  of  all  the  highlands! 

Loud  her  praises  sing!

GREETINGS  FROM  THE 
PRESIDENT  OF  THE  COLLEGE 

May  I  join  in  welcoming  you  to  Maryville 
College's  130th  year.  Some  important  events  in  the 
history  of  the  College  are  scheduled  for  1948-1949. 
Among  them  is  a  vigorous  campaign  for  funds  to 
replace  the  Chapel  we  lost  by  fire  in  the  spring  of 
1947.  Already  architects  are  working  on  sketches  of 
the  Chapel  and  also  of  the  new  Fine  Arts  Center 
for  which  a  notable  gift  has  been  made.  An  en- 
couraging beginning  has  been  made  on  a  fund  for 
one  women's  domitory  and  an  additional  science 
building  is  in  the  plans. 

But  the  first  matters  of  interest  to  new  students 
are  related  to  the  daily  program.  Its  schedule  is  well 
under  way.  It  will  continue  the  well-tried  and  suc- 
cessful features  of  others  years  and  add  a  number 
of  new  ones. 

I  trust  you  will  start  and  finish  the  college  year 
with    enthusiasm. 

RALPH  Waldo  Lloyd^ 
President  of  Maryville  College

TRADITIONS 

You'll  never  catch  the  spirit  of  Maryvillc,  nor 
will  you  feel  a  part  of  it,  until  you  know  some  of 
her  traditions — those  things  that  make  being  a  student 
here  something  sort  of  special — those  things  that  will 
make  your  love  and  understanding  for  your  College 
broader  and  deeper  and  your  memories  of  your  days 
here  more  vivid  and  pleasant. 

Of  course  it  won't  last,  but  the  first  week  on  the 
campus  you  new  girls  will  surely  feel  as  if  they've 
been  waiting  for  you  to  make  your  appearance. 
Bainonian  and  Theta  simply  go  all  out  to  pledge  you 
to  their  organizations.  Don't  miss  their  RUSH 
WEEK  affairs. 

True  the  line  is  long  and  the  waiting  is  inevitable, 
but  getting  acquainted  with  the  faculty  at  the 
FACULTY  RECEPTION  will  mean  much  to  your 
college  days. 

The  CIRCLE  DRIVE  brings  pleasant  memories  to 
hundreds  of  Maryville  students  and  will  continue  to 
do  so  to  you  who  are  just  now  entering  her  halls — 
That  is,  as  long  as  you  remember  its  loveliness  may 
be  enjoyed  only  until  7:15  each  evening  (7:00  on 
Sunday) . 

While  the  sun  shines  now  and  next  spring,  Mary- 
ville beauties  (clad  in  proper  clothing,  of  course) 
head  for  BALDWIN  BEACH,  hedged  in  on  the  north 
side  of  Baldwin  Hall.  Proper  clothing  consists  of 
raincoat,  or  shorts  and  shirt,  or  the  equivalent,  over 
your  sunning  outfit. 

Tuesday  night  is  TOWN  NITE,  so  don  your 
prettiest  sweater  for  an  evening  at  the  movie,  bowling 
alley,  or  just  a  hamburger  and  french  fries  at  the 
grilL

BARNWARMING  is  the  show  of  the  fall.  Its 
sponsors  arc  the  "Y"  organizations  and  it  is  held  in 
the  Big  Gym  every  Thanksgiving  night.  The  theme 
is  usually  "hush-hush"  as  are  the  King  and  Queen, 
chosen  from  the  senior  class,  and  attendants  selected 
from   the   other  classes. 

The  BELL  in  Anderson  tower  will  tell  you  when 
to  get  up,  go  to  classes,  and  go  to  meals.  Listen 
also  for  its  clear  tones  heralding  victory  after  a 
gridiron    match. 

The  students  at  Maryville  are  proud  of  their 
FRIENDLINESS,  and  you  too  will  catch  that  habit 
of   saying    "Hi"    to    those   you    meet. 

A  state  which  you  want  to  avoid  at  all  cost  is 
that  of  being  MOONSHINED.  This  means  that  you 
and  the  boyfriend  (or  girlfriend,  as  the  case  may  be) 
have  been  somewhere  or  have  been  doing  something 
that  isn't  included  in  the  "approved  list"  and  your 
relationship  to  each  other  and  to  those  of  the  op- 
posite sex  is  temporarily  aflrected.  Conduct  at  all 
times  becoming  a  lady  or  a  gentleman  is  a  good  in- 
surance policy   against   this. 

For  three  or  four  years  we  have  had  a  REG  HALL 
on  the  campus  of  Maryville,  and  for  about  the  same 
number  of  years  there  has  been  the  CHATTERBOX, 
which  took  the  place  of  the  "Y"  Stores  of  many 
years  ago.  This  year  the  college  will  offer  something 
new  to  the  student  body.  A  building,  financed  by 
the  federal  government  for  the  college,  has  been  desig- 
nated by  the  college  as  a  STUDENT  CENTER 
which  will  house  the  REG  HALL,  the  Y  STORE 
and  other  of  the  social  aspects  of  the  campus  life. 
The  YWGA  and  YMCA  have  both  contributed 
toward  furnishing  the  building  and  will  help  the 
Student  Council  in  the  operating  of  it.  This  is  a 
great  step  toward  a  better  recreation  program  at 
Maryville.  Now  it's  up  to  us  to  make  it  work.

FOUNDERS'  AND  HOMECOMING  DAY  is 
marked  with  dignity  in  the  morning  at  the  service 
commemorating  the  founding  of  our  College,  and 
informality  in  the  evening  at  the  football  field  when 
the  Homecoming  Queen  is  crowned  and  our  football 
team  tangles  with  their  toughest  foe.  The  "lums" 
are  here  in  large  numbers  and  enjoy  a  barbcque  that 
evening   on  the  campus. 

VESPERS  each  Sunday  rounds  out  the  week  and 
gives  it  a  sense  of  completeness.  The  inspiring  music 
of  our  Vesper  Choir  and  many  outstanding  speakers 
are   included   on   the   Vesper  program. 

If  you  can  sing  at  all,  you'll  want  to  add  your 
voice  to  hundreds  of  others  in  the  annual  presentation 
of  THE  MESSIAH  next  Christmas. 

Each  February  the  college  interrupts  its  program 
for  a  few  hours  each  day  for  a  week.  During  this 
time  the  emphasis  of  campus  life  is  shifted  from 
material  matters  to  more  spiritual  thoughts.  It  will 
be  to  your  advantage  to  attend  the  services  of  the 
religious  emphasis  week  known  as  the  FEBRUARY 
MEETINGS. 

They  push  brooms,  peck  typewriters,  carry  trays, 
pick  up  mail,  and  a  host  of  other  things — tljc  large 
group  of  Maryville  students  who  take  advantage  of 
the  STUDENT-HELP  PROGRAM.  The  work  isn't 
hard  and  it  gives  you  that  much-needed  extra  spend- 
ing money. 

Those  people  you'll  meet  next  April  stumbling 
over  the  campus  with  eyes  fixed,  lips  mumbling,  and 
hands  clutching  notes  are  only  the  seniors  in  the 
throes  of  COMPREHENSIVE  EXAMINATIONS. 
But  give  them  respect  and  reverence,  for  the  day  may 
come  when  you  too  will  become  a  senior. 

The  students  of  the  college  participate  in  two 
drives  each  year.  The  FRED  HOPE  FUND  is  the 
first  of  these  and  each  February  you  arc  asked  to 
—  8  — 


contribute  to  this  fund  which  is  in  memory  of  and 
in  tribute  to  one  of  Maryville's  outstanding  and  be- 
loved graduates.  For  two  years  the  money  raised  in 
this  drive  has  been  used  to  send  one  of  our  fellow 
students  to  the  foreign  field. 

The  second  of  these  drives  is  the  WORLD 
STUDENT  SERVICE  FUND.  The  needs  of  our 
fellow  students  throughout  the  world  for  food,  for 
books,  for  medical  care  deserve  all  the  attention  and 
aid  we  can  give.  Each  spring  the  students  are  asked 
to  give  to  this  worthy  cause  that  others  might 
be   given   the   opportunities   which   are   ours. 

Nothing  can  compare  with  the  thrill  of  seeing  the 
sun's  first  rays  burst  over  the  Smokies  as  the  Choir 
sings  "Alleluia,  Christ  Is  Risen"  at  the  SUNRISE 
SERVICE  in  the  College  Woods  on  Easter  morning. 

Our  natural  and  beautiful  amphitheater  in  the  Col- 
lege Woods  each  MAY  DAY  becomes  transformed 
into  the  Royal  Court  of  the  May  Queen  and  her 
attendants.  The  Queen  is  chosen  from  the  senior 
class  and  her  escort  is  the  class  president.  Other 
classes  are  represented  by  two  attendants  each  plus 
their  escorts.  An  original  pageant  is  presented  by 
the  Dramatic  Art  Department. 

For  all  of  us,  and  especially  the  seniors,  COM- 
MENCEMENT time  is  both  happy  and  sad — happy 
because  classes  and  exams  are  over  and  sad  because 
wc  are  saying  goodbye  to  dear  friends,  many  of 
whom  wc  may  not  see  again  for  years.  The  services, 
processions,  and  conferring  of  degrees  mark  the  end 
of  an  important  year  in  each  of  our  lives,  and  as  wc 
exchange  goodbyes  and  gaze  again  at  the  familiar 
grounds,  we  go  away  feeling  that  it  is  now  our 
College  and  we  have  become  part  of  its  life  and 
personality — just  as  it  has  also  become  a  part  of  ours.

DORMITORY    LIFE 

One  of  the  first  things  we  learn  at  college  is  that 
living  with  a  large  group  of  people  in  one  building 
requires  far  more  patience,  understanding,  and  con- 
sideration than  we  ordinarily  exercised  in  our  homes 
where  there  were  usually  only  three  or  four  of  us. 
The    best    policy    you    can    follow    is    "to    do    unto 

others ,"  remembering  that  one  person's  rights 

arc  often  limited  in  order  that  the  rights  of  a  group 
of  persons  might  be  respected.  We  are  jotting  down 
a  few  suggestions  that  we  hope  will  make  your  life 
in  the  dormitory  happier  and  easier,  and  in  turn 
help  those  with  whom  you  will  be  living. 

No  one  minds  helping  a  friend  now  and  then,  but 
nothing  can  be  worse  than  a  habitual  borrower.  Just 
try  wearing  your  roommate's  freshly  ironed  blouse  or 
newest  tie,  and  see  how  long  your  beautiful  friend- 
ship will  last. 

You  may  be  happy  living  in  a  messy  room,  but 
it  is  obnoxious  to  your  roommate  and  others.  Do 
not  wait  to  be  asked  to  clean  up  your  room. 

Every  night  a  great  many  people  in  the  dormitory 
want  and  need  to  do  some  concentrated  studying. 
They  will  appreciate  your  consideration  in  observing 
their  "busy  signs"  as  well  as  avoiding  loud  talking. 
door   slamming,    and    yelling    in    the   halls. 

Almost  everyone  has  a  radio,  so  it  won't  be 
necessary  for  you  to  play  yours  loud  enough  for  the 
people  down  the  hall  to  hear. 

You  never  know  when  visitors,  guests,  or  other 
outsiders  may  be  in  the  halls,  and  it  can  be  very 
embarrassing  for  them   to   meet  you   improperly   clad. 

—  10  — 


Nothing  can  brand  you  quicker  than  being  a  per- 
petual **gripcr"  or  always  making  "catty"  remarks 
about  the  faculty  or  other  students.  Remember, 
sincerity  and  cheerfulness  are  "musts"  in  making  and 
keeping  friends. 

Your  conduct  in  the  lounges  and  public  rooms 
should  be  such  that  others  will  feel  both  free  and 
welcome  to  come  in  at  all  times. 

But  if  you  are  not  interested  in  making  friends, 
then  you'll 

— Monopolize  the  telephones, 

— Sweep  dirt  into  the  halls  and  leave  it  there, 

— Wash    your    clothes    in    the    bathrooms    during    the 
"busy"  hours, 

— Barge  into  your  friends*  rooms  during  study  hours 
and  waste  their  time, 

— Get   up    earlier   than    most    people    in    the   morning 
and  make  a  general  disturbance, 

— Use  the   ironing   boards   on   the  ifloors   to   do   your 
week's   ironing, 

— ^Never  clean   the  tubs,   basins,    etc.,    after  using, 

— Forget  your  iron  and  burn  the  ironing  board  covers, 

— Take    supplies    from    the    medicine   chest    and   leave 
them   in  your  room, 

— Be    loud    and    boisterous    when    others    arc    trying 
to  sleep.

THE  DINING  ROOM 

Meals  arc  served  each  day  in  the  dining  room 
according  to  the  following  schedule: 

Weekdays:  7:00  a.m.,  12:30  p.m.,  6:00  p.m. 
Saturdays:  7:00  a.m.,  12:30  p.m.,  5:30  p.m. 
Sundays:        8:00  a.m.,    12:30  p.m.,   5:30  p.m. 

Your  guests  may  eat  in  the  dining  room  by  ar- 
ranging with  the  Dietitian.  Meal  prices  are  as  fol- 
lows: 

Weekdays: 

Breakfast,    25c;    Lunch    60c;    Dinner,    60c 
Saturdays: 

Breakfast,    25c;    Lunch,    60c;    Dinner,    35c 
Sundays: 

Breakfast,    25c;    Lunch,    75c;    Dinner,    35c 

Take  time  to  freshen  up  a  bit  before  meals,  es- 
pecially dinner.  It  will  do  you  good  as  well  as  your 
tablemates. 

Remember,  girls  do  not  wear  jeans  and  slacks  in 
the  dining  room. 

College  is  an  ideal  place  to  acquire  a  bit  of 
"polish,"  so  watch  your  manners.  After  all,  bad 
table  manners  are  not  considered  cute,  and  it  isn't 
diflFicult   to   say   "please"   and   "thank  you." 

Loud  and  boisterous  talk  is  definitely  frowned 
upon.  Try  to  make  the  conversation  table-wide  so 
that  no  one  will  be  excluded. 

Your  waitress  has  classes  and  obligations  too,  so  be 
considerate   and  get   to  meals   on   time. 

Lack  of  attention  and  reverence  during  the  bless- 
ing only  reveals  your  background  and  training  and 
does  very  little  for  your  popularity. 

—  12  — 


ON   THE   CAMPUS 

Remember  that  while  you  are  on  the  campus  you 
are  representing  Maryville  to  visitors  and  outsiders 
who  may  be  passing  through,  and  your  conduct 
should  always  be  that  which  would  be  complimentary 
and  honorable  to  the  College  as  well  as  to  the 
rest  of  the  student  body. 

True  the  whole  world  loves  a  lover,  but  indiscreet 
display  of  affection  can  bring  criticism  to  you  and 
your  date,  to  say  nothing  of  the  damage  to  the 
reputation  of  the  College. 

Girls  never  wear  shorts  on  the  campus  except  when 
engaged  in  active  sports.  Jeans  and  slacks  are 
worn  when  the  occasion  calls  for  such  dress — as  hikes, 
sports,  stage  crew,  etc. 

The  men  always  wear  shirts  or  jerseys,  even  when 
playing  tennis  or  swimming. 

Wastebaskets  are  placed  at  strategic  places  on  the 
campus  to  catch  your  wrappers,  peelings,  etc. 
Thoughtlessly  throwing  these  on  the  campus  makes 
for  an   unkcpt  appearance  and  mars  the  beauty. 

Also,  failure  to  use  the  walks  makes  ugly  paths 
across  the  grass.

IT'S  THE  LAW 

Wc  like  to  gripe  and  complain  a  lot  about  the 
rules  and  regulations,  but  down  underneath  we  all 
realize  that  a  family  with  nine  hundred  members 
could  hardly  live  together  peacefully  and  harmonious- 
ly without  a  few  "thou  shalt's"  and  "thou  shalt 
not's."  So  we  are  listing  the  important  ones  here 
in  order  to  have  you  properly  informed.  Of  course, 
you  realize  there  may  be  others  printed  elsewhere 
for  which  you  will  also  be  held  responsible. 

It  may  be  necessary  for  you  to  ask  for  an  ex- 
ception of  the  rules  sometimes.  Such  requests  should 
be  made  to  either  your  Student  Government  OflFicers, 
Head  of  your  Dormitory,  the  Dean  of  Students, 
or  the  Dean  of  Women.  Remember,  continually  ask- 
ing for  special  permission  for  trivial  things  may  spoil 
your  chances  of  getting  it  when  something  import- 
ant comes  along. 

SOCIAL 
Dating 

1.  Parlor  dates  may  be  had  in  the  women's  dormi- 
tory parlors  from  7:00  until  10:00  p.m.  any  week- 
day evening  by  arranging  with  the  Head  of  the 
Dormitory.  Freshmen  and  sophomore  women  may 
have  four  each  month  and  junior  and  senior  women 
may  have  an  unlimited  number. 

2.  Sunday  dating  is  for  the  services  only  with  the 
exception  of  Easter  and  Baccalaureate  Sundays  when 
afternoon  dating  is  also  permitted. 

3.  Calling  hours  for  men  in  the  women's  dormi- 
tories arc  as  follows: 

Weekdays     1 :00  to      1 :20  p.m. 

3:30  to     5:30  p.m. 
6:30  to      7:15  p.m.

Town  Nitc    6:30  to     7:15  p.m. 

9:30  to   10:00  p.m. 

Sunday  Afternoons 1 :00  to  1:20  p.m.

5.  Dating  is  allowed  at  announced  College  activi- 
ties. Couples  return  to  the  women's  dormitories 
within  fifteen  minutes  after  the  close  of  the  activity 
and  men  do  not  stay  after  that  time.  Otherwise  there 
is  no  dating  on  weekday  evenings  either  during  or 
after  library  hours  except  that  men  may  walk  with 
women  directly  from  the  Library  to  the  women's 
dormitories  and  leave  immediately. 

6.  WSGA  Senior  Privileges  were  set  up  last  year 
to  offer  senior  women  certain  privileges  which  un- 
derclass women  do  not  possess.  Each  senior  woman 
is  allowed  an  extra  town  night  each  week  under  the 
same  rules  which  govern  the  Tuesday  night  pro- 
posal. Senior  Privileges  include  also  Sunday  after- 
noon dating  between  3:00  p.m.  and  supper  on  the 
campus,  in  the  residential  sections  of  the  city,  and, 
for  groups  or  couples,  in  the  college  woods  and 
around  the  loop.  On  the  second  town  night  dating 
is  permitted  to  seniors  in  Knoxvillc  provided  they  re- 
port into  the  domitory  before  8:30  p.m.  Senior

THE    STUDENT    COUNCIL 

In  many  respects  the  Student  Council  is  the  most 
important  of  all  student  organizations  because  its 
membership  represents  the  entire  student  body.  This 
year  the  constitution  of  the  Student  Body  is  undergo- 
ing a  complete  revision.  Parts  of  it  are  completed, 
but  since  the  entire  revision  is  not  yet  finished,  the 
constitution  which  appears  in  this  book  is  the  old 
constitution  but  includes  the  changes  which  have  been 
completely  approved  already.  The  membership  of 
the  Council  was  determined  this  year  by  vote  accord- 
ing to  provisions  in  the  new  constitution  which  were 
approved  prior  to  the  spring  elections. 

To  it  any  matters  pertaining  to  student  life  can 
be  brought  and  discussed  and  from  the  Council  di- 
rected to  the  Faculty  through  the  Student-Faculty 
Senate.  Practically  all  of  the  social  program  of 
the  campus  is  handled  through  a  joint  faculty  and 
Council-appointed  student  committee;  the  recreation 
center  and  town  night  arc  a  couple  of  the  many 
things  which  the  Council  has  brought  to  the  students 
in   past   years. 

In  addition  the  Student  Council  conducts  all 
campus  elections,  and  the  revised  cut  system,  now  in 
use,  is  almost  identical  with  the  plan  recommended  by 
the  Council  two  years  ago.  Your  Student  Council 
is  always  at  work  in  behalf  of  the  student  body, 
trying  to  provide  a  better  social  program  on  the 
campus  and  serving  as  a  representative  organization 
for  every  student. 

To  all  new  students  the  Student  Council  extends 
a  very  warm  welcome.  Soon  you  will  have  a 
chance  to  elect  your  own  representatives,  so  start 
early  to  think  of  those  whom  you  believe  will  well 
represent  you.  And  remember,  the  Council  is  your 
organization.  Your  suggestions  and  full  cooperation 
will  help  toward  making  it  a  better  organization  and 
in  turn  campus  life  better.

GREETINGS  FROM  THE 
STUDENT  BODY  PRESIDENT 

Hello  Students, 

Your  Student  Council  will  begin  work  this  year 
under  a  newly  revised  constitution.  We  all  welcome 
the  changes  that  have  been  enacted  and  feel  that  they 
will  give  fairer  representation  to  the  various  student 
organizations.  This  new  constitution  represents  ade- 
quately all  phases  of  campus  life;  the  living,  the 
academic,  the  spiritual,  and  the  social.  Our  aim 
for  this  coming  year  is  to  unify  all  of  the  campus 
activities. 

On  paper  our  constitution  looks  good,  but  in  order 
for  our  council  to  become  effective  and  to  function 
properly,  the  cooperation  and  good  will  of  each  stu- 
dent and  organization  must  be  enlisted.  To  do  this 
we  are  asking  everyone  to  read  both  the  old  and  new 
Student  Council  Constitution  and  to  try  to  catch  some 
of  the  spirit  with  which  the  necessary  changes  were 
made.  These  revisions  will  become  improvements 
only  when  the  students  make  them  such. 

We  earnestly  hope  that  the  newly  elected  repre- 
sentatives will  attend  the  council  meetings  with  their 
organizations'  functions  and  purposes  fully  in  mind. 
Thus  with  such  information  at  our  fingertips  we 
shall  be  able  to  operate  effectively  and  efficiently. 
Remember,  too,  that  the  representatives  must  have  the 
confidence  and  the  support  of  those  whom  he  is  rep- 
resenting before  any  success  can  be  realized. 

Speaking  of  success,  we  wish  the  best  for  all  of  you 
who  are  to  be  with  us  at  Maryvillc  this  coming  year. 
And  don't  forget  your  Student  Council  represents 
you,  so  give  it  all  your  support. 

Sincerely, 

Jim   Black,   President

THE  WOMEN'S  STUDENT  GOVERNMENT 
ASSOCIATION 

Student  Government  in  the  women's  dormitories 
first  came  into  being  at  the  beginning  of  the  second 
semester  in  1946.  When  it  was  first  designed,  a 
group  of  intelligent  and  practical-minded  students  sat 
down  with  the  idea  of  figuring  out  the  most  logical 
and  reasonable  plan  for  a  hundred  or  more  girls  to 
live  in  one  building  congenially.  They  concluded  that 
a  plan  based  on  thoughtfulness  and  consideration  on 
the  part  of  each  girl  for  the  other  person  would  be 
necessary.  It  was  with  this  idea  in  mind  that  the 
constitution  and  by-laws  were  drawn  up. 

Student  Government  does  not  mean  no  govern- 
ment at  all.  It  simply  means  that  the  governmenv 
has  been  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  students  and  it 
is  their  responsibility,  working  with  the  Head  of 
the  dormitory,  to  handle  the  affairs  and  problems 
of  the  dormitories  and  their  occupants.  It  has  been 
responsible  for  a  number  of  reforms — revisions,  re- 
laxations, or  strengthening  of  former  procedures  when 
it  has  seemed  advisable.  The  use  of  lights  until 
11:00  p.  m.  and  after,  ironing  boards  on  each 
floor,  emergency  drills,  and  orderly  study  hours  are 
all  due  to  the  efforts  of  the  Student  Government 
organization.  The  latest  thing  for  which  Student 
Government  is  responsible  is  the  WSGA  Senior 
Privileges. 

Your  Women's  Student  Government  officers  are 
constantly  at  work  in  your  behalf.  They  need  your 
suggestions  and  ideas — but  most  of  all  they  need 
your  all-out  cooperation  to  make  Student  Govern- 
ment an  effective  and  beneficial  program  to  the 
women  students  and  to   the   College.

GREETINGS  FROM  W.S.G.A.  CHAIRMAN 


Hi  There! 

Here's  a  warm,  sincere  welcome  to  all  you  new 
girls  as  you  begin  to  find  your  place  in  our  friendly 
Maryville  family  and  a  big  Hello  ....  isn't  it 
grand  to  be  back  again  ....   to  the  old  timers. 

We  have  an  important  year  ahead  of  us  in  our 
Women's  Student  Government  Association.  Although 
student  government  is  still  rather  young  in  semesters, 
it  is  already  proving  itself  to  be  a  vital,  outreaching 
organization  on  campus.  Let's  make  it  even  stronger 
this  year.  In  accepting  the  attendant  responsibilities 
of  our  many  new  privileges,  we  will  be  challenged 
often  by  problems  that  will  call  for  our  collective  ef- 
forts in  working  out  the  most  effective  solutions. 
Then,  too,  as  we  seek  to  enlarge  our  program  we  will 
need  your  ideas,  your  suggestions,  and  most  of  all, 
your     support. 

As  wc  all  work  together  during  the  year  to  make 
our  residence  halls  pleasant,  happy  places  in  which  to 
live,  I  am  sure  that  I  can  count  on  each  one  of  you 
for  co-operation,  understanding  and  a  strong  sense  of 
individual    responsibility. 

Sincerely, 
Barbara  Eggleston 

Chairman.  W.   S.   G.   A.

senior  women  infringing  upon  provisions  of  senior

Groups  of  three  or  more  women  may  have  the  same

3.  Senior  women  shall  also  have  the  privilege  of  dating

THE  MEN'S  STUDENT  ORGANIZATION 

The  Men's  Student  Organization  is  the  newest  unit 
to  be  formed  in  Maryville's  student  body  organiza- 
tion. Its  purpose  is  to  represent  the  points  of  view 
and  the  interests  of  all  the  men  of  Maryville  Col- 
lege— on  and  off  campus,  and  local. 

Since  this  organization  was  formed  late  in  the  last 
school  year  there  has  as  yet  been  little  chance  for  the 
wheels  to  get  rolling,  but  it  should  be  ready  to  take 
its  place  in  life  at  Maryville  in  the  year  ahead. 

All  men  are  members  of  the  MSO,  and  its  ability 
to  function  depends  upon  the  men.  The  organization 
will  represent  the  men  in  the  Student  Council  and  on 
the  Student-Faculty  Senate.  The  cooperation  of  you 
men  will  determine  the  value  of  the  MSO.

GREETINGS  FROM  THE  M.S.O. 
CHAIRMAN 


Welcome,    Men : 

In  our  efforts  to  have  every  student  adequately 
represented  in  the  student  government,  we  discovered 
that  there  was  no  organization  to  represent  all  men 
of  the  College.  To  remedy  this  condition,  the  men 
organized  themselves  into  the  "Men's  Student  Organi- 
zation of  Maryville." 

The  purpose  of  the  organization,  as  stated  in  the 
constitution,  is  to  "fairly  and  adequately  represent 
the  points  of  view  and  interests,  and  execute  the  will 
of  the  majority",  in  accordance  with  the  provisions 
of    the    constitution. 

It  is  a  new  organization  designed  for  you;  so, 
if  there  is  any  possible  way  that  it  may  serve  you, 
please  don't  hesitate  to   let  your  representative  know. 

Wishing  you  the  best  of  luck  in  the  coming  year. 


Sincerely, 

Henry  Callaway  Jr. 
Chairman,  M.S.O.

THE  YOUNG  MEN'S  CHRISTIAN 
ASSOCIATION 

Some  people  believe  the  Young  Men's  Christian 
Association  to  be  a  chain  of  economical  hotels.  Others 
know  it  as  a  place  where  underprivileged  children 
can  go  for  a  swim,  and  still  others  think  of  it  in 
terms  of  religion,  bulging  muscles,  and  night  schools. 
To  millions  of  fighting  men  and  prisoners  of  war, 
the  **Y"  meant  something  to  do  during  idle  hours. 

Perhaps  this  is  right  and  as  it  should  be.  When 
an  organization  grows  for  a  century  and  spreads  to 
the  distant  corners  of  the  earth,  it  comes  to  mean 
different  things  to  many  people.  In  this  profusion 
of  understanding  may  lie  its  strength.  We  at  Mary- 
ville  believe  "Y"  to  be  a  means  of  drawing  the  fel- 
lows into  a  real  Christian  fellowship.  Our  emphasis 
is  placed  on  the  latter  part  of  our  initialed  title — 
YMCA. 

*Y"  is  directed  by  a  cabinet  and  four  officers. 
These  men  are  vitally  interested  in  making  'Y"  reach 
the  greatest  number  of  men  with  the  most  effective- 
ness. Perhaps  the  most  regular  activity  is  the  weekly 
worship   service   each   Sunday   afternoon. 

**Y"  touches  every  phase  of  college  life  and  so 
its  strength  is  an  important  factor  in  the  whole 
campus  program.  This  strength  depends  upon  the 
officers  and  cabinet,  but  even  more  does  it  depend 
upon  the  cooperation  of  the  members.  It  has  a  place 
and  demand  for  every  talent — including  yours.  It 
needs  these  talents  in  order  to  grow.  Rate  the 
YMCA  high  on  your  list  of  extra-curricular  activities.

GREETINGS  FROM  Y.M.C.A.  PRESIDENT 

Hi  Fellows, 

Here  we  go  again  into  a  year  of  work  and  fun  at 
Maryville  College.  For  some  of  you,  it  is  the  first 
year.  To  you,  the  officers  and  cabinet  of  Y  offer 
a  special  welcome.  We  hope  that  our  efforts  in  your 
behalf   will   prove   useful. 

Your  campus  Y.M.C.A.  has  given  much  thought  to 
how  it  can  best  serve  the  student  body.  A  glance  at 
the  committees  of  the  cabinet  will  give  you  some  idea 
of  the  services  of  Y  to  the  campus  and  to  the  com- 
munity. Your  participation  in  any  of  Y's  varied 
activities  is  welcomed  and  encouraged. 

Please  remember  that  you  men  are  the  sole  purpose 
for  the  functioning  of  the  Y.M.C.A.  We  want  to 
include  in  our  program  those  things  which  will  ben- 
efit you  most.  Therefore  your  suggestions  and  help 
will  always  be  gratefully  received.  We  sincerely  hope 
that  you  will  give  us  the  chance  to  include  you  as 
an  active  member  of  M.C.'s  Y.M.C.A. 

Sincerely, 

Bill  Nisb

THE  YOUNG  WOMEN'S  CHRISTIAN 
ASSOCIATION 

Y.W.C.A.  at  Maryville  College  is  perhaps  one  of 
the  most  valuable  organizations  on  the  campus.  It 
includes  all  of  the  women  of  the  College.  While  you 
become  a  member  when  you  enroll,  there  is  an 
Active  Membership  for  those  who  are  especially  in- 
terested in  having  "Y"  serve  them  and  in  serving 
through  ''Y".  It  is  an  opportunity  for  Christ- 
centered  fellowship  and  service. 

The  YWCA  plays  a  major  part  on  the  campus. 
Each  Sunday  afternoon  an  inspiring  and  helpful 
worship  service  is  planned  by  the  program  committee 
of  the  cabinet.  YW  sponsors  such  groups  as  Nu 
Gamma  Sigma,  for  the  benefit  of  the  new  girls;  Pi 
Gamma  Pigma,  for  the  town  girls;  and  the  Big- 
Little  Sister  program.  Several  representatives  of  YW 
go  to  mission  chapels  nearby  and  to  the  orphanage  to 
lend  a  spark  of  social  service  and  give  short  worship 
services  one  day  during  the  week.  During  the 
semester  we  have  interracial  meetings  with  groups 
from  Knoxville. 

One  of  the  big  events  which  '*Y"  undertakes  and 
sponsors  is  the  May  Day  Festival.  Other  social 
activities  arc  planned  by  the  group,  including  a  hike 
in  the  mountains  every  fall.  The  *'Y"  kitchen  is 
a  special  place  for  fun  and  food  and  is  especially 
equipped  for  such  enjoyment.  Other  activities  such 
as  Artist's  Series,  Barnwarming,  Devotional  meet- 
ings in  the  dormitories,  M-Book,  and  the  Chatter- 
box are  sponsored  jointly  by  YW  and  YM. 

So  you  sec,  YW  is  no  small  part  of  Maryville 
College.  We  hope  that  all  of  you  will  find  your 
places  in  "Y"  this  next  year. 

—  61  — 


GREETINGS  FROM  Y.W.C.A.  PRESIDENT 

Hello,  Girls  I 

Welcome  to  Maryville!  We're  glad  to  have  you 
with  us  to  share  in  our  many  activities  here  on  the 
"hill".  This  year  YW  promises  to  offer  a  great  deal 
of  fun,  fellowship,  and  inspiration.     Don't  miss  it. 

The  program  of  YW  is  so  varied  and  extensive  that 
there  is  a  place  for  every  girl.  Barnwarming,  mission 
work,  hikes,  parties,  weekly  programs — all  these  pro- 
vide splendid  opportunities  for  you  to  help  us  be- 
come "Builders  with  God". 

It's  a  wonderful  opportunity  that  we  have  to  work 
and  worship  together.  Let's  make  it  a  big  year  for 
YW  and  for  Maryville. 

We'll  be  looking  for  you. 

Sincerely, 

Margaret  Rock

ORGANIZATIONS  AND  CLUBS 

Of  course,  you  came  to  college  primarily  for 
scholastic  training,  but  you'll  miss  a  lot  if  you  don't 
add  a  few  extra-curricular  activities  to  your  program. 
However,  you  don't  want  to  be  the  other  extreme  and 
join  every  club  on  the  Hill  just  because  you  can. 
You'll  soon  find  yourself  all  burdened  down,  and 
your  enthusiasm  will  begin  to  lag  in  the  social 
activities  as  well  as  the  lessons.  So  pick  out  one  or 
two  in  which  you  are  really  interested  and  put  your 
efforts  there.  The  organizations  and  clubs  at  Mary- 
villc  arc  varied  and  should  include  the  interests  of 
every  student.  Any  new  organizations  must  be  ap- 
proved  by   the   Faculty. 

PI  KAPPA  DELTA 
Pi  Kappa  Delta  is  the  Tennessee  Alpha  Chapter 
of  the  National  Honorary  Forensic  Fraternity.  The 
purpose  of  this  organization  is  to  stimulate  progress 
in,  and  to  promote  the  interest  of  intercollegiate 
oratory,  debate,  and  public  speaking  by  encouraging 
a  spirit  of  intercollegiate  fellowship,  brotherly  co- 
operation, and  interest;  and  by  conferring  upon  de- 
serving candidates  a  badge  of  distinction,  proficiency, 
and  honor,  varied  and  graduated  according  to  merit 
and  achievement.  Maryvillc  is  honored  to  have  this 
organization,  and  its  members  here  have  consistent- 
ly ranked  high  in  national  and  local  tournaments. 
Both  debate  squads — varsity  and  freshmen — meet  as 
classes  and  are  given  college  credit  for  their  work. 

THETA  ALPHA  PHI 
Talented  dramatic  students  may,  upon  meeting  cer- 
tain requirements  for  membership,  be  initiated  into 
the  Tennessee  Delta  Chapter  of  the  national  honorary 
dramatic  fraternity,  Theta  Alpha  Phi.  All  students 
have  opportunity  to  try  out  for  the  plays  given 
by  various  organizations  each  year. 

—  64  — 


HIGH    SOCIETY 

The  High  Society  is  one  of  the  newest  clubs  on  the 
campus.  The  requirements  for  membership  are  that 
one  be  female  and  five  feet  seven  inches  or  taller. 
The  club  spends  its  time  learning  ballet,  pantomine, 
and  choreography.  The  club  performed  at  two  of  the 
outstanding    events — Barnwarming    and   May    Day. 

SIGMA    DELTA    PSI 
Membership    in    Sigma    Delta    Psi    is    earned    by 
meeting  the   requirements   of  the  various   athletic  tests 
in  the  presence   of  a  responsible  committee. 

ALPHA  GAMMA  SIGMA 
Alpha  Gamma  Sigma  was  organized  for  the  pur- 
pose of  motivating  high  scholarship  among  students. 
Its  requirements  are  equal  to  those  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa. 
Ten  percent  of  the  graduating  class  may  be  admitted 
provided  the  members  have  a  grade  point  ratio  of  6.5 
or  somewhat  more  than  a  B  average. 

BAINONIAN 
Bianonian  offers  to  her  members  an  opportunity 
to  work  and  play  together  in  her  activities  through- 
out the  year.  One  of  the  four  social  societies  on  the 
Hill»  her  main  purpose  is  to  promote  a  wholesome 
social  program  and  to  maintain  the  "Maryville  Spirit** 
in  all  the  campus  activities.  There  arc  planned  meet- 
ings each  week,  and  she  joins  with  Athenian  in  pro- 
ducing one  of  the  major  College  plays  each  year.

presenting  the  best  skit  in  the  Annual  Skit  Contest. 

THETA  EPSILON 
One  of  the  four  social  societies  of  Maryville  Col- 
lege organized  in    1894  is  Theta  Epsilon,   representa- 
tive of  the  campus  women  and  is  a  sister  society  to 

—  65  — 


the  men's  organization,  Alpha  Sigma.  It  is  com- 
posed of  active,  associate,  and  honorary  members. 
Any  woman  student  of  the  college  is  eligible  to  be- 
come an  active  member.  It  is  the  purpose  of  the 
society  to  strengthen  the  bond  of  goodwill  and 
friendship  among  its  own  members,  and  the  members 
of  other  societies  on  the  hill.  All  who  have  mem- 
bership may  well  feel  they  have  an  active  part  in 
the   activities   of  the   college. 


ATHENIAN 

Athenian  is  organized  for  the  purpose  of  bringing 
to  the  men  of  the  College  a  varied  and  interesting 
social  program.  Entertainment  and  fun  highlight 
the  regular  meetings  of  the  society.  The  play,  pro- 
duced jointly  with  Bainonian  each  year,  and  Athen- 
ian's contribution  to  the  Annual  Skit  Contest  are 
the  two  outstanding  efforts  undertaken  by  the  whole 
society.  A  place  on  the  active  roll  is  open  to  any 
man  on  the  campus.  It's  a  place  where  lasting 
friendships  are  made. 


ALPHA  SIGMA 

Alpha  Sigma  offers  the  men  of  Maryville  College 
a  program  of  fun  and  fellowship  in  which  all  may 
participate.  During  the  College  year  all  those  in- 
terested in  dramatics  may  take  part  in  a  play  which 
is  given  in  conjunction  with  Alpha  Sigma's  sister 
society,  Theta  Epsilon.  For  those  who  prefer  athletics, 
the  society  takes  part  in  the  College  intramaural  pro- 
gram.

PI  GAMMA  SIGMA 

This  organization  is  sponsored  by  the  Y.W.C.A. 
to  promote  fellowship  between  the  town  girls  at- 
tending college  and  the  dormitory  girls.  A  luncheon 
is  held  every  two  weeks  and  an  interesting  program 
presented. 


THE  MINISTERIAL  ASSOCIATION 

Organized  in  1900,  the  Ministerial  Association 
plays  an  important  part  in  the  life  of  the  College. 
Having  as  its  motto  the  words  of  Jesus.  "Not  to  be 
ministered  unto,  but  to  minister,"  it  is  composed  of 
students  who  are  candidates  for  or  are  vitally  in- 
terested in  some  form  of  the  Christian  ministry.  In 
addition  to  its  regular  meetings  twice  each  month,  the 
Association  shares  in  planning  the  program  of  the 
campus  prayer  meeting  committee,  and  its  members 
conduct  mid-day  devotional  services  during  Holy 
Week,  do  preaching  and  pastoral  work  in  the  county 
jail,  visit  the  patients  in  the  College  Hospital,  and 
are  encouraged  to  engage  in  some  form  of  service  in 
local  missions  and  rural  churches  in  the  vicinity  of 
Maryville. 


STUDENT  VOLUNTEERS 

Since  1894  the  students  have  maintained  a  Stu- 
dent Volunteer  organization  which  is  one  of  the 
strongest  religious  influences  in  the  College.  It  is 
composed  not  only  of  those  who  have  pledged  them- 
selves to  the  foreign  field,  but  of  those  who  are  in- 
terested in  this  type  of  work.  Regular  meetings  of 
the  group  are  held  Sunday  evenings  after  Vespers. 
Some  phase  of  missionary  work  is  considered,  and 
frequently  missionaries  on  furlough  provide  valuable 
and    inspiring    firsthand    material.

PARISH    PROJECT 

The  Parish  Project  is  a  program  of  Christian 
service  to  communities  in  the  vicinity  of  Maryville. 
Students  who  volunteer  and  are  accepted  for  service 
in  the  Project  carry  on  various  types  of  service 
activity.  These  include  Sunday  school  teaching  and 
administration,  teaching  weekday  Bible  classes  in  a 
selected  group  of  public  schools,  supervising  young 
people's  societies,  and  the  leadership  of  character- 
building  activity  groups  for  boys  and  girls.  The  pro- 
ject is  jointly  sponsored  and  supported  by  the  Board 
of  National  Missions,  the  Board  of  Christian  Educa- 
tion, Maryville  College,  and  the  New  Providence  Pres- 
byterian Church  of  Maryville.  All  who  serve  in 
the  project  are  enrolled  in  a  class  and  recicve  academic 
credit  for  satisfactory  completion  of  the  work  each 
semester. 

WRITERS'  WORKSHOP 

The  Writers*  Workshop  is  made  up  of  students 
and  faculty  members  who  show  interest  and  ability  in 
literary  work.  Each  member  writes  and  reads  aloud 
for  criticism  one  paper  each  semester,  and  oppor- 
tunities for  practice  in  literary  criticism  are  pro- 
vided. The  selections  considered  most  outstanding 
arc  printed  in  an  annual  publication  called  Chips  from 
the  Writers'  Workshop.  Members  are  elected  from 
the  Junior  and  Senior  classes  and  faculty.  Eligible 
persons  are  urged  to  make  their  interest  known  to 
any   English   instructor. 

ART  CLUB 
The  Art  Club  is  a  small  but  active  group  of  peo- 
ple interested  in  Art.  The  purpose  of  the  Club  is  to 
sponsor  various  Art  Exhibits  coming  to  the  College, 
to  sponsor  lectures  by  people  qualified  in  the  Art 
field,  and  to  further  the  interests  of  students  in  this 
general  field.  The  Art  Club  has  several  purely  social 
activities    during    the    year   such    as    moon-light    hikes 

—  68  — 


and  sketching  parties.  The  membership  is  not  re- 
stricted to  people  in  the  art  classes,  but  open  to  any- 
one interested  in  the  subject.  Last  year  was  the 
first  year  since  the  war  that  the  club  has  been  active, 
and  next  year  a  full  program  is  planned. 

THE   CAMERA  CLUB 

The  Camera  Club  was  formed  during  the  fall 
semester  of  1946  and  designed  to  serve  the  interests  of 
the  members.  Since  the  group  is  still  a  small  one, 
it  assures  each  member  a  larger  freedom  when  using 
the  equipment.  The  Club  helps  the  photographic 
enthusiast  pursue  his  objective  in  company,  learn  from 
the  experiences  of  others,  and  improve  his  own  abili- 
ties by  helping  in  the  development  of  the  talents  of 
his  fellowmembers.  Meetings  are  held  twice  each 
month. 

THE  DISC  CLUB 

This  club  was  organized  in  1936  by  students  for 
the  benefit  of  lovers  of  good  music  and  to  en- 
courage the  appreciation  of  good  music  among  all 
students.  Accordingly,  its  organization  is  very  in- 
formal, and  all  students  are  automatically  considered 
to  be  members.  A  program  committee  of  six  stu- 
dents and  a  member  of  the  Music  Department  faculty 
arrange  for  the  presentation  of  good  recorded  music 
twice  a  month  for  a  half  hour  following  the  evening 
meal.  An  interested  student  or  faculty  member  in- 
troduces each  program  with  brief  comments  regard- 
ing the  composition  to  be  heard  and  its  composer. 

*'M''    CLUB 

"M"  Club  is  the  girl's  athletic  club  of  Maryville 
College.  Membership  is  attained  by  making  a  total  of 
400  or  more  points  through  participation  in  the 
girls'  athletic  program  generally  known  as  Point 
System.     The  purpose  of  the  Club  is  to  keep  up  the 

—  69  — 


Interest  in  girls  athletics  and  to  further  good  sports- 
manship in  Maryville  College.  A  special  project  is 
conducted  each  year.  Besides  taking  part  in  the 
Point  System  two  hours  a  week  the  members  meet 
monthly  for  business  discussions  and  enjoy  an  athletic 
activity  together.  One  of  the  high  spots  in  the  club's 
activities  is  the  week-end  hike  in  the  Smoky  Moun- 
tains once  each  semester. 

THE  GERMAN  CLUB 
The  German  Club  has  as  its  purpose  that  of 
stimulating  interest  and  furthering  knowledge  of 
German  culture.  Membership  is  open  to  anyone  in- 
terested in  German  culture,  regardless  of  whether  or 
not  he  is  a  student  of  German.  It  is  the  aim  of 
the  Club  to  have  all  members  participate  in  the  pro- 
gram and  activities  of  the  Club.  Meetings  are  held 
twice  a  month,   according  to   a   regular  schedule. 

THE  SPANISH  CLUB 
The  purpose  of  the  Spanish  Club  is  to  stimulate 
interest  in  Spanish  speaking  countries,  their  culture, 
and  their  customs  as  well  as  their  language.  Students 
also  have  an  opportunity  to  practice  speaking  Spanish 
outside  the  classroom.  Since  there  is  a  limited  mem- 
bership, students  taking  Spanish  in  their  college  course 
are  given  preference  over  those  who  are  merely  in- 
terested in  Spanish.  The  programs  are  both  cultural 
and  entertaining,  following  a  Spanish  theme.  The 
students  themselves  prepare  and  give  these  programs 
on  meeting  nights.  Freshmen  students  are  invited  to 
visit  the  Spanish  Club  when  they  arrive  on  the  campus. 

THE   FRENCH   CLUB 
The   French    Club    is   composed   of   thirty    members 
selected    because    of    their    scholarship    and    interest    in 
French.      No   student   is  eligible  for  membership   dur- 
ing   his   freshman    year    nor    while    he    is    taking    first 

—  70  — 


year  French.  The  programs  consist  of  plays,  songs, 
games,  moving  pictures,  and  the  like.  Each  year  a 
formal  banquet  is  held.  Both  educational  and  recrea- 
tional opportunities  feature  in  the  activities  of  the 
French  Club. 

PRE-MED   CLUB 

The  Prc-Med  Club  is  an  organization  composed  of 
men  and  women  of  the  College  who  are  taking  the 
pre-medical  course  in  preparation  for  a  career  in 
medicine  (including  nursing  and  medical  technology) . 
Its  purpose  is  to  introduce  its  members  to  some  of 
the  problems  they  will  meet  in  their  chosen  profes- 
sipn  and  to  give  interesting  and  informational  pro- 
grams concerning  medical  topics.  The  general  activi- 
ties of  the  Club  include  lectures  by  practicing  phy- 
sicians and  representatives  of  other  branches  of 
medicine,  movies  of  medical  nature,  and  tours  of  local 
hospitals. 

THE  INTERNATIONAL  RELATIONS  CLUB 

This  Club,  although  autonomous  in  its  organiza- 
tion, is  affiliated  in  purpose  and  program  with 
hundreds  of  other  such  clubs  on  college  campuses 
throughout  the  world  by  its  relation  to  the  Carnegie 
Endowment  for  International  Peace.  Its  stated  pur- 
pose is  ".  .  .  .  the  formation  of  a  nucleus  of  students 
interested  in  international  affairs  with  the  object  of 
spreading  interest  and  information  on  related  topics 
.  .  .  .and  of  fixing  attention  on  the  principles  of  in- 
ternational conduct  and  agreement  which  must  be  put 
into  efi^ect  to  secure  the  existence  of  peaceful  civiliza- 
tion." It  seeks  to  accomplish  this  purpose  through 
forums,  discussion  groups,  and  informed  speakers  at 
its  semi-monthly  meetings.  While  the  transaction  of 
the  business  of  the  Club  is  limited  to  students  joining 
at  the  beginning  of  each  semester,  all  students  are  en- 
couraged to  attend  and  to  participate  in  the  discussions 
and  talks  concerning  international  affairs.

TAU  KAPPA  CHI 

Tau  Kappa  Chi  is  a  musical  organization  for  the 
women  of  the  College  who  are  either  music  majors 
or  are  interested  applied  music  students.  Its  pur- 
pose is  to  form  an  organized  group  of  persons  who 
wish  to  promote  student  and  community  interest  in 
music.  The  aims  are  to  raise  the  general  academic 
standard  of  the  music  department;  to  provide  a  goal

sheer  joy  for  those  who  are  interested  in  singing.  It 
is  composed  of  approximately  sixty  students  who  are 
admitted  to  its  ranks  only  after  passing  rigid  voice 
tests.  In  addition  to  its  participation  in  the  daily 
Chapel  and  weekly  Vesper  services,  the  Choir  takes 
part  in  special  programs  on  the  campus,  in  Maryville, 
and  adjoining  cities.  Its  program  also  includes  a  con- 
cert tour  through  parts  of  Tennessee  and  Alabama.

ORCHESTRA 
Despite  the  chapel  fire  two  years  ago  the  orchestra 
had  one  of  its  most  successful  seasons  last  year.  Dur- 
ing the  year  ahead  this  organization  should  be  able 
to  grow  even  more.  Each  year  the  orchestra  ac- 
companies the  Messiah  and  the  piano  concerto  besides 
giving  two  or  three  concerts  annually.  Last  year  its 
final  concert  included  the  world  premiere  of  an

ATHLETICS 

MARYVILLE'S  ATHLETIC  POLICY 
Maryvillc  stands  for  the  well-rounded,  well-de- 
veloped college  life.  For  many  years  the  college  has 
realized  that  one  must  not  only  be  developed  mentally 
and  morally  but  also  physically.  As  a  result  of  this 
realization  Maryvillc  College  has  placed  an  emphasis 
on  athletics  of  all  kinds.  Besides  having  inter-col- 
legiate athletics,  there  is  also  conducted  a  well-developed 
and  highly  organized  system  of  intramural  athletics 
for   men   and   women. 

Maryville  does  not  buy  her  athletes.  Those  who 
come  to  Maryville  come  with  the  understanding  that 
places  on  her  athletic  teams  are  open  to  physical  fit- 
ness and  average  scholastic  ability;  nothing  else.  In 
addition  it  is  true  that  athletic  ability  alone  does  not 
"make"  a  student  at  Maryville.  Well-rounded  eflPort 
in  other  extra-curricular  activity  and  in  the  classroom 
is  just  as  important. 

THE  ATHLETIC  ASSOCIATION 

The  Athletic  Association  is  composed  of  the  entire 
student  body  and  faculty  of  Maryville  College.  Its 
purpose  is  to  work  in  cooperation  with  the  Depart- 
ment of  Athletics  of  the  College  for  the  futherance  of 
desirable  conditions  in  that  field.  Each  spring  an 
Executive  Board  of  Control  (commonly  known  as  the 
Athletic  Board  of  Control)  is  elected  to  act  for  the 
Association.  This  Board  is  composed  of  a  president, 
vice  president,  secretary,  and  three  boys,  two  girls,  and 
two  faculty  members  as  representatives.  The  Director 
of  Athletics  is  an  ex-officio  member  of  the  Board. 
The  Board  performs  such  functions  as  electing  man- 
agers for  athletic  teams,  and  making  awards  to  mem- 
bers and  managers  cf  these  teams  as  well  as  to  cheer- 
leaders and  "point-system"  girls.  The  Association 
has    no    power    in    financial    matters    connected    with 

—  75  — 


athletics  and  it  is  thus  not  certain  that  a  person  will 
receive  an  award  unless  the  faculty  feels  that  the  Col- 
lege is  financially  able  and  willing. 

You  are  urged  to  take  part  in  the  activities  of  the 
Athletic  Association  whether  or  not  your  interests 
are  in  that  direction. 

INTER-COLLEGIATE  ATHLETICS 
Athletics  at  Maryville  have  been  developing  since 
the  end  of  the  war.  For  two  seasons  the  various 
teams  have  had  better  than  average  success  on  the 
battlefields  of  sports.  Before  the  war  interrupted  life 
at  Maryville,  the  college  was  well  known  throughout 
the  South  for  its  strong  teams  in  the  minor  sports. 
Since  the  resumption  of  intercollegiate  athletics  we 
have  enjoyed  a  little  more  prestige  in  the  realm  of 
the  major  sports  than  was  before  accorded  the  college. 
As  athletics  begin  in  the  year  ahead,  it  is  our  hope 
that  Maryville  will  hold  tightly  to  the  laurels  gained 
in  the  major  sports  and  will  redevelop  strength  in 
the  field  of  minor  sports.  Let's  get  behind  our  teams 
and  support  them,  win  or  lose,  because  school  spirit 
is   part   of   Maryville's   athletic   program,    too. 

INTRAMURAL 
The  intramural  program  provides  Maryville  men 
and  women  with  a  chance  to  participate  in  various 
non-varsity  sports  for  good  fellowship,  vigorous  com- 
petition, and  physical  fitness.  The  men  and  women 
have  a  similar  system  and  organization,  each  with  a 
Director  who  will  give  full  instructions  regarding 
each  program.  The  men  participate  in  soccer, 
football,  basketball,  swimming,  track,  and  softball. 
The  girls  play  soccer,  volleyball,  basketball,  swimming, 
tennis,  and  softball.  The  intramural  program  in- 
cludes the  regular  physical  education  classes  for  Soph- 
omores, two  hours  each  week  of  participation  being 
the  required  amount.  Although  not  required  of 
Juniors  and  Seniors,  many  of  the  upperclassmen 
actively  participate  in  the  fun  and  recreation  which 
these   sports   provide.

POINT   SYSTEM 

As  at  most  colleges,  there  are  no  longer  inter- 
collegiate contests  for  women  at  Maryville.  For  them 
has  been  substituted  the  Point  System.  Par- 
ticipation in  the  diflFerent  sports  qualifies  a  girl  for  a 
given  number  of  points.  To  those  earning  over  300 
points  awards  are  made  at  the  end  of  the  year.  Every 
girl  must  walk  the  seven-mile  loop  twelve  times  a 
year,  swim  twice  a  month,  and  spend  an  hour  in  exer- 
cise daily.  Those  who  play  basketball,  soccer,  soft- 
ball,  or  volleyball  earn  30  points  for  their  team. 
Taking  part  in  swimming,  track,  tennis,  hiking  or 
aerial  dart  tournaments  entitles  a  girl  to  50  points. 
Additional  points  are  awarded  for  sportsmanship, 
membership  on  the  squad,  managing  a  team,  and  per- 
fect attendance.  The  observance  of  health  rules  gives 
a  maximum  of  25  points  a  semester.  High  scholar- 
ship adds  a  percentage  of  the  total.  Members  of  "M" 
Club  (those  who  have  earned  at  least  400  points) 
take  a  mountain  hike  each  spring,  and  enjoy  several 
other  activities.

WORK  FOR  THE  COLLEGE  GIRL  WHO 

NEEDS  MORE  MONEY 

No  one   Is  obligated   to  work   at  definite   hours   but 
may    sew    at    her    own    convenience. 

EVERY  GIRL  CAN  LEARN  TO  SEW  —  the  COLLEGE 
MAID  Instructors  can  teach  them. 

A   COLLEGE   MAID   not   only    learns   to   sew   rapidly 

and  well,  but  she  earns  the  money  she 

needs  while  learning. 

All    college    girls    are    urged    to    visit    the 

COLLEGE  MAID  SHOP 

and  Investigate  the  opportunities  it  offers.
