JAMES NICHOLAS PROFFITT, PRESIDENT OF
THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

Greetings to Maryville College Alumni:

Plans are under way for the Annual Alumni Banquet May 15, 7:00 P.M. at Pearsons Hall. The
25 year class is planning a reunion. All those members of the Class of '29 have probably been
contacted before now. Election of officers for the coming year will be held.

Homecoming was a success last fall. Approximately six hundred attended the Barbeque prior
to the football game. The new Kilts for the Band looked very good. The Maryville Boosters should
be commended on their contribution to this cause.

Although the general interest in the Alumni Association seems to be increasing, the collection of
dues has not increased. If you are one of those of us who put off paying dues as long as possible
please send in your dues now! A new envelope has been prepared to facilitate paying dues.

You have probably received under separate cover letters telling you of the New Samuel Tyndale
Wilson Chapel now noaring completion. It is in use and will be dedicated at Commencement. Its
cost exceeded $600,000. If you haven't pledged or contributed to this building please do so now.

The Alumni Association would appreciate the suggestions of groups or individuals as to methods
of improvement. In particular, we are interested in a stronger Alumni Association. Not just to get
more people to pay dues but to get more of the Alumni active. It seems to me that a full time
secretary should be employed by the Association. Your opinions will be used in the future to
carry out your wishes.

With best wishes,

^(jtAMJU) y) ,

James N. Proffitt, M.D.
President, Alumni Association

President Lloyd^s Page

TO ALL MARYVILLE COLLEGE MEN AND WOMEN:

There are many things of which I as President of
your college would like to talk to you. Some are old,
some are new, most are just new stages in long range
work and growth, like the elements in life itself. Only a
few can actually be discussed in this message and these
only briefly.

(1) The letter of James N. Froffitt, '38, President
of the Alumni Association, on the preceding page, should
have careful reading by all alumni, as I am sure it will.
President Proffitt is deeply interested in having every
person who has attended Maryville College, which includes
everyone who reads this Bulletin, give active support to
the work and developing plans of the College. Especially
urgent just now is the need for funds to complete payment
for the wonderful new Chapel. He and the entire Execu-
tive Committee of the Alumni Association are setting out
to be sure that everyone has an opportunity to participate.
You will wish to consider carefully all they say.

(2) The Samuel Tyndale Wilson Chapel will be form-
ally dedicated on Baccalaureate Sunday (May 16) at four
o'clock in the afternoon. We expect it to be substantially
ready by that time, but it is now clear that in some details
it will not be entirely complete, and it is -certain that a
considerable number of equipment items cannot be ready.
However, we have been using the chapel auditorium in its
incomplete state since early February and plan to stage
the Commencement Play in the theater even if a curtain
and a light or two are still missing. When it is done it
will be as complete a college theater as there is in the
nation. The entire building will be dedicated as a unit.
Several of Dr. Wilson's four daughters and two sons
expect to be present for the dedication services on May 16,
and at least one will take part in the service.

(3) The cost of the Chapel, as has been variously
announced, will reach a little above $600,000 when all the
equipment is in. That is a very large sum, even in these
days of large sums, being about $150,000 above the cost
of the Fine Arts Center, which until now represented three
times as large an investment as any other building on
the campus. But under present day prices, both the Fine
Arts Center and the Chapel are counted by authorities as
remarkable values. We are getting far more for the
money expended than we would get in the traditional type
of building. These are big, fireproof, artistic, functional
buildings of original design which should serve for at least
a century to come. The Fine Arts Center is paid for. The
Chapel is two thirds paid for. But we have now paid out
all our chapel fund and the College is borrowing to con-
tinue the work. We must find gifts to cover that other
one third. Alumni are the people most closely related to
the College, and I hope those who have not yet given will
do so and many who have given will be able to add to
their gifts.

(4) A new women's dormitory is becoming more and
more a reality. The exceedingly generous, gracious, and
active work for it by Presbyterian women through their
Opportunity Giving in 1954 is the basic reason for that
reality. Their sponsorship of it led to a generous action
on the part of the Synod of Mid-South in opening churches

Four

to an appeal to secure enough funds to complete the
project. We hope we will have money enough to build in
1955. The firms of Schweikher and Elting and Barber
and McMurry have been engaged as Associated Archi-
tects for this building as they are for the Chapel. This
means it will be a structure of contemporary design.

(5) National Christian College Day will be observed
cooperatively by the Synod of Mid-South and Maryville
College on April 25, 1954. This is the first year for a
wide observance in our Synod. The College will tell its
story in every church that is open to us. We hope alumni
will encourage and participate in this movement.

(6) The United States Supreme Court has not yet

given its decision on the constitutionality of the segrega-
tion laws which limit the freedom of Southern educational
institutions. We receive inquiries from time to time as
to the plans of Maryville College in this matter. Of
course, it is impossible to answer that until we know
what may be done with the law. Maryville College en-
rolled Negro students until the present rigid law in Ten-
nessee was passed in 1901. If that law is declared uncon-
stitutional, the whole matter will have to be restudied,
and I have been gathering information and consulting
with the Board of Directors for the past year or so. As
many Maryville College alumni know, we now open our
campus to interracial conferences in the summer and
welcome people of all races to the campus at any time
during the college year. We cannot lawfully do more.

(7) Interchurch affairs are to the fore in the United
States this summer, and some of us at Maryville are in-
volved in them. I have been elected a delegate to both
the World Presbyterian Alliance meeting at Princeton
(July 27-August 5) and the World Council of Churches
meeting at Evanston (August 15-31). As American
Secretary of the Alliance and chairman of the program
committee, I am, needless to say, very busy in preparations
for that world meeting. Miss Hunter and Miss Lightfoot
of our staff are going to be there as part of the Alliance
staff during that time, and I shall hope to see numerous
Maryville College alumni at one or the other of the meet-
ings. Perhaps the most imminent event in this field
is the approaching vote on the Plan of Union drawn up
by committee of the Presbyterian Churches in the USA
and US and United Presbyterian Churches. As chairman
of the joint committee preparing the Plan, I have been
deeply involved and shall have the responsibility of pre-
senting it to the Presbyterian USA General Assembly
immediately after Commencement and of representing the
USA General Assembly at the US General Assembly a
week later.

(8) Commencement on May 19 will see the College
close its 135th year. There are accounts in this Bulletin
of the events of that week, to which I hope many alumni
can come.

Sincerely yours.

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

At their Fall Meeting, October 24, 1953, the Directors of
Maryville College elected Joe Caldwell Gamble, '26, as Chair-
man of the Board, to succeed Judge Samuel O'Crady Houston,
'98, who had served as Chairman since 1932.

Judge Houston insisted that he not be reelected, pleading
long service, his eighty-third birthday, and the need for a
conservation of strength. He had made similar requests in
several former years but the Directors each time overruled
him. The universal respect in which he is held, the wise and
devoted leadership which he has given to his Alma Mater, and
the ironic and cooperative spirit and skill with which he pre-
sides at meetings, all have made him a Chairman of such
quality that his colleagues on the Board were reluctant to
accede to his retirement. But this time he insisted and they
could but concur. Howe\er, he remains a member of the
Board.

In his place, another graduate of the College was elected,
Joe C. Gamble, '26, the son of the late Judge Moses Houston
Gamble, a Maryville College graduate and long time Director.
As a student Mr. Gamble was a leader in various college
activities being both president of the Student Council and
captain of the football team in his senior year. He received
the degree of LL.B. from the Law School of the University of
Michigan in 1929, and returned to Maryville to join the
law firm of his father and Homer A. Goddard, another Mary-
ville College graduate. He is today one of the leading at-
torneys in the state.

For many years he has taken a prominent place in the
civic life of the community, in political activities of the Re-
publican party, in the work of the church, and in the program
of Maryville College. He is a Director of the Bank of Mary-
ville, a Director of the Blount Memorial Ilospit.il, and an Elder
in New Providence Presbyterian Church. He has been a Di-
rector of Maryville College since 1939, Recorder of the Board
since 19-49, and also Chairman of its Conunittce on Finance
since 1949.

Mr. and Mrs. Gamble (Frances Leisenring) and their
son, Douglas, live near the college campus.

1954 COMMENCEMENT

The Comnienceinent W'lik prcjgrani is printed on the
inside front cover of this Bulletin. It is hoped that many
alunuii will be able to come for the weekend— Alumni Day and
Baccalaureate Sunday, May 1.5 and 16. The Annual Dinner
and Business Meeting will be held in Pearsons Hall at seven
o'clock Saturday evening, followed by the band concert at
nine-thirty. The reunion classes are planning other events
during the day.

The Baccalaureate Service Sunday morning will, of course,
be held in the Samuel Tyndale Wilson Chapel. Tlie auditorium
was planned especially for such services; the platforjn is large
enough to accommodate the choir and faculty comfortably,
and there are 1151 seats for the congregation.

The Graduation E.xercises will be held in the new Chapel
on Wednesday morning, May 19. The graduates of 1954 will
number about one hundred and twenty.

REUNION CLASSES

The Fifty- Year Class is small but in terms of percentage
present it expects to be at the top of the list. Mrs. A. E.
McCulloch (Freddie Goddard), 316 College Street, Maryville,
is acting as reunion chairman.

The Twenty-Five-Year Class has been working on their
plans all winter and expects to have a large number here.
Mrs. Edward Lyle (Edna McCaniy), 310 Indiana Avenue,
and Harold Bird, P. O, Box 406, Maryville, are the co-chairmen.

Other classes and their local chairmen working on reunions
include the Class of 1924, Dr. Verton M. Queener, 909 Court
Street, Maryville; and 1934, Mrs. Herbert R. Dodd (Thelma
lies), 307 West Outer Drive, Oak Ridge.

The classes of other reunion years are not actively pro-
moting reunions but chairmen have been appointed who will
be very glad to hear from any class members who expect to
be present, and to make arrangements for "get-togethers."
They are: Class of 1914-Mrs. S. E. Crawford ( Irma Hall),
P. O. Box 284, Maryville; 1939-Mrs. J. Howard Schwam

FACULTY NEWS

Dr. Verton M. Queener suffered a heart attack and went
to the hospital on March 30. While improving, he is not
expected to teach again this college year.

In the course of the year faculty members attend many
meetings of associations in their respective fields. President
Lloyd and Dean McClelland attended the annual meetings of
the Presbyterian College Union and Association of American
Colleges, held in Cincinnati this year. President Lloyd also
attended the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools meeting in Memphis, and the Tennessee College Associ-
ation meeting in Nashville. Professor Walker, Dr. Williams,
and Miss Blackburn attended the meeting of the Tennessee
Academy of Science at Oak Ridge; Miss Davies that of the
National Association of Schools of Music in Chicago; Dr. Case,
Mrs. Pieper, and Mr. Fisher attended a meeting in Atlanta of
the Southern Sociological Society; Miss Martin, Miss Wilkinson,
Dr. Cooper, and Mr. Schwam attended the South Atlantic
Modern Language Association at Chattanooga; and Miss Martin
attended the national meeting of the Modern Language Associ-
ation and the American Association of Teachers of Spanish.

At the annual meeting of the Tennessee Philological
Association, at Union University, Jackson, Dean Hunter read
a paper on "Shakspere's Actors: Impromptu Dramatics," Dr.
Cooper read on "The Relations of Science and Philosophy as
Reflected in French Literature," and Mr. Schwam on "Don
Alvara, Romantic Drama 'Par E.xcellence.' "

A solo and ensemble festival, sponsored by the East Ten-
nessee Band and Orchestra Association, was held on the campus
on March 13. About three hundred elementary and high
school students participated. Miss Crews was manager of the
festival.

Miss Davies is Tennessee State Arts Chairman of A.A.U.W.
and in April will attend the Southeastern Regional meeting in
Biloxi. She will also serve as the delegate of the Maryville
Branch and of Maryville College at this meeting.

Mrs. Walter Morton was chosen as the winner of the 1953
Community Service Award, sponsored by "The Alcoan" to
symbolize community leadership. She will receive an aluminum
plaque, etched with special drawings to depict her activities,
and one hundred dollars in cash. Mrs. Morton's service includes
"tireless year-after-year work at Sunnybrook and Home Avenue
Chapels; interest and help to young people which have reached
unbelievable proportions, and friendliness and help to her
neighbors day and night." Mr. and Mrs. Morton have no
children of their own but are known as "Mom" and "Pop" to
many, many young people. Mr. Morton retired last summer
after twenty-one years of service on the maintenance staff of
the College.

Mrs. L. A. Black ( Susan Green ) , who has been ill since
her retirement in 1950, had an appendectomy about the first
of March. She has recovered satisfactorily from the operation
and is again at Joyce's Rest Home, 251 North Harrison Street,
Alcoa.

On January 29 Mrs. W. Halcot Ford died unexpectedly
after a brief illness. Mr. Ford taught in the Social Sciences
Division of the College from 1950 to 1953, and they still
resided in Maryville. They have three children.

Francis Mitchell McClenahan, who taught chemistry at
the College from 1906 to 1916, has retired and is living in
Tucson, Arizona.

Mrs. Wrinkle

MRS. WRINKLE RETIRES

Mrs. Walter A. Wrinkle ( Celia Rough, ex '17), Assistant
to the Treasurer, retired November 30, 1953, after thirty-nine
years of service in the Treasurer's Office.

She was forced by increasing health limitations to retire
earlier than had been anticipated, and is being missed greatly
in the important work she performed for so long.

In earlier years Mrs.
Wrinkle personally did much
of the bookkeeping and gen-
eral secretarial work in the
office, but as the work of the
office grew others were
added to the staff and she
supervised the accounting,
personally handled confiden-
tial matters, managed details
of the office, and kept the
records of the Board of Di-
rectors. During the interim
between the death of Trea-
surer Proffitt in 1943 and
the appointment of Paul W.
Henry as Treasurer in 1948,
she carried special responsi-
bilities.

In the history of the

College only six persons have

served on the faculty and

staff as long as did she; Dr.

Wilson 46 years, Professor

Walker 45 years and still serving, Mrs. Black (Miss Green)

44 years, Mr. "Brownie" Brown 44 years and still serving, Mrs.

West 43 years, and Dean Barnes 39 years.

Mr. and Mrs. Wrinkle hve at 806 Jones Street, Maryville.
Mr. Wrinkle is with the Knoxville Power Company, Alcoa.

BEQUESTS TO LIBRARY

The College library has recently received two notable
bequests. Dr. Edwin Sheddan Cvmningham, '89, bequeathed
his library of 786 volumes to the College, and before his death
he had presented a considerable number of books, in addition
to these, to the College. Dr. Cunningham was Consul-General
in Shanghai from 1919 until his retirement in 1935, and the
major portion of his collection is on the Far East. Many of
the books were published abroad and are not available for
purchase in the United States. This collection on the Far
East has greatly expanded the College library's holdings in
that field and will be of great and permanent value.

In accord with the wishes of Dr. Graham, Mrs. Thomas
A. Graham presented 533 volumes from his library to the Col-
lege. Dr, Graham was pastor of New Providence Church from
1945 until his death in November, 1952. Many of his books
are in the field of religion but the collection covers a wide
range. . .

GENERAL ASSEMBLY BREAKFAST

The annual Maryville College Breakfast at the Presbyterian
USA General Assembly, which meets in Detroit this year, will
be held on Saturday morning. May 22. There will be posters
at the General Assembly announcing the place and price of the
breakfast, and reservations may be made there. Those living
in the Detroit area may make their reservations through
Mr. Paul O. Armstrong, 17 Hanover Road, Pleasant Ridge,
Michigan, who is president of the Detroit Maryville College
Alumni Club. All alumni, Directors, parents of students, and
friends of the College are cordially invited to attend. Presi-
dent Lloyd will be there to tell of the latest developments at
the College.

NEW DORMITORY PLANS

On his page in tlic October issue of this Bulletin, I'resident
Lloyd reported that a new women's dormitory at Maryville
College is the Christian Education object of Opportunity Civing
by Presbyterian (USA) women in 1954.

The emphasis on Opportunity Giving is now widespread.
Programs about Maryville College are being conducted by
many groups of Presbyterian women. A short pageant con-
cerning Maryville College is to be distributed throughout the
women's organizations for their use, and sets of slides of the
campus anil student activities are being prepared.

The women have invited the Maryville choir to sing at
the services on Women's Day at General Assembly in Detroit,
May 21, and daily at the Quadrennial Meeting of the National
Council of Women's Organizations of tlie Presbyterian Church
in the U.S.A. June 1-6. Five or six alumni, representative of
the church, the mission field, the home, education, and industry,
are being invited to participate in a panel discussion at one
of the sessions on \\'omen's Day. There will be several
thousand women at each of these meetings.

It is hoped that these and other activities will bring
enough gifts to make it possible to build the dormitory in
1955. Architects are beginning work on plans now.

SUMMER EVENTS ON THE CAMPUS

During the summer of 1954 the following church confer-
ences will be held on the campus:

June 7-12: Junior High Camp, Union and Chattanooga
Presbyteries

June 13-19; Summer Leadership Training School of the
South (Interracial)

June 20-22; Mid-South Council of Presbyterian Men

June 22-25; Synod of Mid-South

Women's Synodical Society of Mid-South
Westminster Fellowship, Synod of Mid-
South ( Interracial )

The Samuel Tyndale Wilson Chapel will be fully ready
for use by that time. This building, added to the Fine Arts
Center completed three years ago, will provide near ideal
facilities for conferences and meetings. These two buildings
alone contain four assembly halls of four different sizes : ( 1 )
the Chapel auditorium, seating 1,200; (2) the Theater audi-
torium, seating 450; (3) the Music Hall, seating 250; and
(4) the Little Chapel, seating 75.

Also there are in the Chapel building spacious lobbies, a
choir rehearsal room, three classrooms, offices, theater work-
rooms, small speech rooms, and other areas. In the Fine Arts
Center are five classrooms, library, offices, art gallery, lounge,
and numerous studios and practice rooms. The Fine Arts out-
door auditorium and the outdoor Chapel court provide unusual
opportimity for outdoor services and fellowship.

Thus Mary\ille College is prepared beyond even the
dreams of anyone a few years ago to handle simimer gather-
ings. All that is needed is some way to insure cool weather.
The auditoriums in both buildings have ventilating but not
refrigerating systems.

If you haven't paid your dues for 1953-1954, look
up that envelope you recently received and send
yours in. Just two dollars from EVERY alumnus
would make it possible for the Alumni Office to
support itself, as well as pay for the Fall and Spring
Bulletins which every alumnus receives. If you
can't find the envelope sent you, mail two dollars
in any old envelope addressed to the Alumni Office,
Maryville College, Maryville, Tennessee.

CHAPEL CAMPAIGN

Daily chapel services have been held in the new Samuel
Tyndale Wilson Chapel since February 6, 1954, although the
sounds of hammer and saw are still constant and sometimes
loud.

Only the large auditorium itself is in use. At the Col-
lege's request it was rushed through for the February Meetings,
which opened on February 10.

The next objective is to have the theater ready for the
Commencement play on May 14, and the whole building in
a reasonable state of completion for the dedication on May 16.
It is a large building with many parts and many special
features which ha\'e taken longer for construction than was
anticipated.

The cost of the building equipped will be a little over
$600,000, of which a little over $400,000 has been given. But
the amount actually paid out has now been exhausted. The
otlier $200,000 must be secured from gifts as soon as possible.

The Alumni Association Executive Committee has voted
to present an urgent appeal to all alumni to give to this fund
now. Under the leadership of the President of the Association,
Dr. James N. Proffitt, '38, the Committee is having communi-
cations sent to all, and giving all an opportunity to make
completion of the Chapel a reahty. Gifts may be made in
cash, or pledges payable over a period of time.

The Executive Committee appeals to every Maryville Col-
lege man and woman to rally to meet this critical need.

1954 CHOIR TRIP

Because of the interest of Presbyterian women in Mary-
ville College this year, the Choir has been invited to sing daily
at the quadrennial meeting of the National Council of Presby-
terian Women's Organizations at Purdue University, Lafayette,
Indiana, June 1-6. It has been invited also to sing at the
Presbyterian General Assembly in Detroit — at the Women's
Day meetings on May 21 and at the popular meeting of the
Board of Foreign Missions on Thursday evening. May 20.

Between May 21 and the National Meeting, the Choir
will be on tour singing in the following Presbyterian churches:

Saturday, May 22— First Church, Birmingham, Michigan
Sunday, May 23, 10:30 a.m.-Bethany Church, Detroit

3:30 p.m.— Drayton Avenue Church, Detroit
8:00 p.m.— St. Andrew's Church, Windsor,
Ontario
Monday, May 24— Rosewood Avenue Church, Toledo, Ohio
Tuesday, May 25— First Church, Mt. Vernon, Ohio
Wednesday, May 26— Hoge Memorial Church, Columbus, Ohio
Thursday, May 27— Kennedy Heights Church, Cincinnati, Ohio
Friday, May 28— Warren Memorial Church, Louisville, Ky.
Saturday, May 29— Hutchinson Memorial Church, New Albany,

Indiana
Sunday, May 30, 10:30 a.m.— First Church, Seymour, Indiana

3:30 p.m.— First Church, Columbus. Ind.

8:00 p.m.— First Church, Connersville, Ind.
Monday, May 31— First Church, Kokomo, Ind.

For several years the Choir has had a spring tour, to the
South, to the East, to the North, but this is the first year it
has made a tour after Commencement. To meet the first
engagement in Detroit it will be necessary to leave the campus
as soon as possible after the Graduation Exercises. It is hoped
that all alunmi who are near any one of these churches will
take advimtage of the opportunity to hear the choir, and
perhaps to have an alumni meeting in connection with the
concerts. Mr. Harter, Director, Dr. Griffitts as Business
Manager, ;uid probably some other faculty member will be
with the group.

NEW YORK CLUB MEETING

The Metropolitan Maryville College Club of New York will
hold a dinner meeting at the West Side YMCA at 6:30 p.m.
Tuesday, April 27. Notices were sent out to all of whom he
knew in the New York area by Misti Smith, '19, secretary of
the club. If you did not receive a notice, please let Mr. Smith
know so that you will receive future notices. His address is
21 Audubon, Room 311, New York 32, New York. One item
of business will be to elect a new chairman to succeed James
M. Barr, '43, who has moved from Long Island to Oneida,
New York.

HUNT FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP

A year ago, Mr. R. M. Ferry, Manager of Tennessee
Operations for the Aluminum Company of America, announced
that the Hunt Foundation of Pittsburgh was awarding a $500
scholarship to a graduate of Alcoa High School to attend Mary-
ville College. Kent Tooniey, of Alcoa, is now a freshman in
the College on this scholarship.

This spring announcement has been made of a similar
award to a Maryville High School graduate to enter Maryville
College.

The College, the two high schools, and the community
appreciate this interest and contribution.

DR. LLOYD TO BE NOMINATED AS MODERATOR
OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY

As this issue goes to press, there comes word of a spon-
taneous movement springing from several widely scattered
points in the country, to place Dr. Lloyd's name in nomination
at Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church USA. The following is a reprint from the April 12
issue of Monday Morning, a magazine for Presbyterian pastors.

"In preparation for the year of decision with regard to
the reimion of three great Presbyterian denominations in the
United States, the General Council of the Presbytery of Union,
Synod of Mid-South, has taken action to present the name of
the Reverend Ralph Waldo Lloyd, D.D., LL.D., of Maryville,
Tennessee, in nomination for Moderator of the IGGtlr General
Assembly. Dr. Lloyd is chairman of the Joint Negotiating
Committee of the three Churches which has prepared the
present Plan of Union. He has been a member of the Perma-
nent Commission on Interchurch Relations throughout the
period of negotiations with the Presbyterian Church in the US
and has been chairman of the Commission since 1941.

"Dr. Lloyd is a native of Tennessee and is a graduate of
Maryville College in that state. He served as pastor of
churches in Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. He has been
President of Maryville College since 1930. He is a member
of the Central Committee of the World Council of Churches
and American Secretary of the World Presbyterian Alliance."

Feeling that this movement and the honor to Maryville
College which it connotes, are of general interest to Maryville
College people, and especially the ministers among our gradu-
ates, I have asked that this note be inserted in this issue of the
Alumni Bulletin.

MAY DAY

The annual May Day Festival will be on Saturday after-
noon, May 1. Mrs. Queener, Assistant Professor of Physical
Education, is in charge, assisted by other members of the
faculty and staff. The theme will be Cinderella. A wander-
ing minstrel will tell the story to entertain the Queen of the
May, and as he talks the story will be pantomimed.

Each year this draws one of the largest crowds that come
to the campus, especially children. It is estimated that there
are usually more than a thousand people present.

BAND UNIFORMS

In the fall of 1952 a group of former Maryville College
athletes now living in the Maryville area and a number of
other alumni and friends in the community, expressed an
interest in securing an electric scoreboard and clock for the
football field and new uniforms for the band. As a result of
this interest, a benefit game was played against Tennessee
Wesleyan College. An electric scoreboard was secured and
some money was raised toward the band uniforms. This fall
a benefit game was arranged with the B team of the University
of Tennessee, which very generously accepted orjy a small
sum for actual expenses. The receipts from these two games
plus some gifts, and a thousand dollars contributed by the
College, made possible the purchase of the uniforms and two
bagpipes.

The predominant color of the plaid in the kilts and scarves
is red; the jackets and the caps are dark green. It is a very
striking uniform, and the band looks very impressive. It is
hoped that by next fall two students will have learned to play
the bagpipes, so that Maryville may have a true "Highland"
band.

coming and the football season are over, is Barnwarming on
