i m IE- THE UONAHIAN PUBLISHED BU THE STUDENTS ' ASSOCIATION OF PIEDMONT COLLEQE DEMOREST. QA UOLUME ID NINETEEN HUNDRED AND TIUENTIJ.-FIUE a e: mi i ku A LEGEND OF YONAH In the shadows of Yonah mountain In a valley where spruce pines wave, On a lonely mound by the river ' s edge, Is Nacoochee and Sautee ' s grave. An Indian legend tells us, How a century back, they met And plighted their vows to each other. And those vows are unbroken till yet. That Sautee was tall and handsome, Nacoochee, no pen could describe, She belonged to the Cherokees. And he to the Chickasaw tribe. How the chiefs of these tribes had forbidden, That these Indian lovers should wed, But Sautee came and stole the girl ; And away to the mountains they fled. The wily chief of the Cherokees Called his warriors to his side, Then a race began ; to lose, lost his child, But to Sautee, to win, won a bride. For weeks were they gone, not a trace could be found. Though the search was kept up without pause, For the Cherokees thought that Sautee Had gone to the land of the Chickasaws. At last to the mountains, the lovers were traced, Then upward they climbed, hand in hand, Till at last the cliff on the Yonah was reached. And naught could they do but to stand. Below, in pursuit came the chief and his braves, The race, to him, nearly won, Sautee kissed, the last time, the girl by his side, In the rays of the setting sun. iJKteJ?i Nacooch for Sautee ' s life, But the) sternly answered her, No! And by the brawny hands of two stalwart hr. He was hurled t ' the rocks below. Twas her father ' s command she witness Ins death Then the air with her shrieks she rent. Sautee! Sautee! Sautee she cried. Then over the clifl she went On the cruel, jagged rocks below, The dusky lovers died, And the sorrowing chief had them carried a« And they buried them side by side. On the picturesque mound, in the vallej bel Till time and all else shall Sautee, by the side of 1 i — beautiful bride, Shall sleep in eternal peai A ,i. To PROF. WM. S. ROBERTS Our Teacher and Our Friend we dedicate this volume in appreciation of the service which he has rendered to our alma mater - Cl)r Sonafnan staff IT has been the earnest purpose and sincere endeavor of the Yonahian stafl for the- year 1 ( ' J5 to compile a volume that will serve as a true repre- sentative and a genuine memory book of the splendid spirit and high ideals of Piedmont College. Long and diligently has the staff labored and nobly has it strived. MARIE STEMPER .Editor-in-Chief LESLIE BROWN„ Assistant Ed JESSE STINECIPHER Bust tsi Ma .

Bui we have in college at least one exception to this no doubt perfectly valid statement. Our charming and able Editor in-Giief comes from the warm, golden sands . . r tin- Florida beaches and her untiring efforts, great energj and unquenchable enthusiasm have- made tins Annual | ' issible ' )nr ss,„ iate Editor is a high light not onlj of the -tan but of all Pied mont in more ways than one. Red is from ' • Mis never failing wit and peqietual good humor in addition t his unusual ability hav Inn a aluable member t tin- staff hid you ever heai of Grandview, Tennessee? Mo, neither did we until we tame to Piedmont and met the Stinecipher brothers It the) an- typical mi. Its ,,i Grandview, we want t.. -.. there Martin is out and he has handled all of our monej wiselj and well is business man.. and he has certainly managed our business, too, in a highly capable manner. He has worked indefatigably and has done wonders in cutting down expense and economizing where economy was possible. The Art-Editor is indeed an important member of the Annual staff and Corian Stambaugh has been a most admirable one. She possesses unusual artistic talent and she has willingly sacrificed both time and energy to use that talent for the benefit of theYoNAHiAN. From Ohio comes our Strucher, Although he is more noted for his remarkable ability as a pianist and for being very much in love with a certain, charming young lady of the Junior class, nevertheless, he has shown us that he can be quite a Joker upon occasion. Our nation ' s capital city has more than one noble representative at Pied- mont. Among these is Alyce Edgerton, Girls ' Athletic Editor. Alyce is an enthusiastic participant in all girls ' athletics and a spectator of all boys ' ath- letics. Joe Scott ' s breezy style of talking has made him famous on the campus and now perhaps his almost as breezy style of writing up boys ' athletics for the Yonahian will make him still more famous, Scott is from the Gate City of the South. An annual must have financial backing and its advertising furnishes much of this. Royal Cockrell, from South Georgia ' s sandy hills, has most worthily filled his position as Advertising Editor of the Yonahian. There ' s an aristocratic little town not so far from Demorest named Clarksville. And from this little town comes Jessie Lambert Asbury who is our Assistant Advertising Editor. She has solicited diligently and well and in consequence we have a number of adds from various Clarksville establishments. Good things do not necessarily come in large packages, we have heard. Mr. Bailey from Kansas is a living and walking proof of this. Who at Piedmont does not know Stella with her sweet smile and charm- ing manner? Nobody. She has used that famous smile to advantage, too, for very few people could resist it when she flashed it on them as she earnestly besought them to purchase an Annual. Stella is from Taccoa. There are four girls to whom the Yonahian is immeasurably indebted. Without their cheerful and efficient assistance the copy cotdd never have been prepared for the printers at anywhere near the schedule time. These are the staff typists who have willingly neglected their own work so that they could devote their time to the Annual : Miss Eva Mooney, Florence Singleton, Helen Witte. R. E. C, ' 27.

Bill has been with us for the four years of his college life and we are sorry that he cannot graduate with us this spring, on account of illness. He could hold alike the responsibilities of Assistant in Chemistry and Treasurer of the Students ' Association. He also served on the Owl Staff for several years and was our president during our Junior year. We wish you much success, Rill, in after life. 22 Ci)f Book of 0nusi5 1 In the beginning was the Gass of 25 created. 2.

First, we see Marguerite Vllen our runt forward on jy tin- Piedmonl ' 24 and ' 25 basketball team, as a gymnasium instructor in Ge rgia University We all have great lic.pt.-s for Marguerite ami we are quite confident that she will not disappoint us in this line.

Johnnie has learned so quickly the ways and customs of our own coun- try and has such a determination we are quite sure that he will live up to the wonderful hopes we have for him. As we go on down the roll discussing each memher of the department, we now find the name of Harold Miller. We all know that Harold is an earnest, conscientious worker and we can picture him as the owner of one of the hest plantations the South has ever known. Florence Singleton, the mamhater of our department, declares that she shall never marry so, of course, we cannot imagine her as anything hut a private secretary to some high official. Although Sheridan once thought he would join the Bootleggers, he changed his mind. We all wonder why???? Now we think of him as a National Athletic Coach. Helen Witte with her Baritone and her ability to play it, proves to us that she will some day hold a position with one of the leading orchestras of the United States. Our only hrown-eyed girl, Anne Wheeler, we are sure will be the light of some fair home. We are positive that with her winning eyes and her lovable disposition, the man she chooses will not have a bad bargain. While we are looking into the future we also think of the present. We wish to thank the faculty members of this department for the patience they have used in the handling of us and for the kindness they have bestowed upon us. Eva Mooney. 42 ftomr (Economics Department on iciks LUCILE B .W ELL President JENN SUE M( NEELY rice-President PAULINE WEBB MYRTLE NEVES Treasurer would take- man) pages to tell in detail the work of the Home Economics Department bul a few facts will give a general idea i what the Department is doing. I lie first week in Deceml er we were at home t the students, faculty, and townspeople entertaining them on different days. The Home Economics Department had charge ol the chapel service one daj and there were about sevent) girls on tin- platform that morning n introductory talk was given by the head of the I department, Miss I. aura V Waite ; several of the girls gave appropi readings; the Home Economics girls rendered their song and gj eral yells. 43 Although the Home Economics Department is young, we are increasing in number each year. Three years ago the B. S. H. E. degree was given to our first graduate. At the end of this college year there will be four graduates. We hope to see seven girls receive their degree next year. In our arts and crafts department we have many beautiful as well as useful articles that can be made from the honeysuckle vine, the cat-tail, reed, and pine needle. This year the students in advanced work will make tea- wagons, floor lamps, fern stands, trays, and many other problems of use and beauty. Most large problems are made from the native materials, largely from the honeysuckle vine and cat-tail ; a small percentage of the work is done from the imported materials. The girls gather the honeysuckle and prepare it for weaving and the articles made from the native materials are more valuable and beautiful. In our cooking class, we are required to plan menus and count the cost. Also we find the number of calories each individual requires. You would be surprised at the variety we have in our menus and the delicious food we prepare at such low cost. For a number of years the Home Economics Department has been catering for various social functions as class banquets, alumni dinners, society luncheons, and picnics. In the College sewing department the girls are taught to draft patterns, make hats, to do fancy work such as knitting, crocheting, and embroidery, and to make their own clothes. The Junior and Senior girls in High School are taught the fundamentals of cooking and sewing which prepare them for more intensive study in College, if they so desire. At the opening of the present semester we have organized a Home Economics Club for our College students, this club will be affiliated with the Georgia State Home Economics Association. The College girls hope to receive much benefit through this work.

The Chris- tian Associations are trying to do their part towards placing before the students and on the campus that influence which seems to be lacking in so many other so-called Christian institutions. It is the purpose of the Y. M. C. A. to have some sort of a meeting every week, either of a religious nature, in form of a program meeting or a stunt program. Then every Sunday morning the Y. M. and Y. W. hold joint prayer meeting for fifteen or twenty minutes which is well attended. The Y. M. C.

Delegates from the conference bring back to us messages that create great interest in the spiritual life of the campus. J. F.

During the fall most of the efforts of the Society were engaged with the preparation for the annual open meeting which occurred October 25th. This open program easily ranks as one of the best that am of the Piedmont societies has presented in several years. The special feature of the program was a representation of the W Hand scenes from Shakespeare ' s A Mid- summer Night ' s I ' ream. Owing t the fad that this was the first time in a number of that one t tin societies had presented a Shakespearian play, this one nut with universal approval. Th nm s and lighting effects were unusually beautiful. The costumes, too, came in for their share of admiration. The principal characters were as follows: llennia, Anne Hughe: Lysander, l ce Edgerton ; Helena, Elizabeth Phillips: Demetrius, Lois Mongold; Oberon, Ruth Callahan; Titiania, Tommy Miller; Puck, Zetta James; Nick Bottom, I lelen itte. Other, numbers of the program were: an amusing modern comedy, An Engaged Girl, in which Miss Jessie Vsbun was the charming heroine and Miss Marie Stemper the valiant hero, a humorous reading in negro dialect given by Miss Jessie Watkins, some delightful ial music b) the Gamma « hi Prio, and. of course, the President ' s Vddress of Welcome which came firs) on the program.

II 77 Protropian s orirtp THE name, Protropian, is derived from a Greek word meaning, In the forefront Every member is looking forward, striving to make the organization a vital part of our college life. This was the ideal of the charter members and so it remains to-day. It lives in the heart of every Protropian. The greatesl ideal of the Society is expressed in the motto. Knowledge is Power. Tins sentiment lias been the inspiration for many students to climb higher on the ladder ol slice The Protropians feel that the best work a society can accomplish is t. instill in them the abtlitj t.. appear well before an audience, think clearly and speak forceahly. This is our end. The weekly and anniversary meetings are planned and carried out with this in view. Two events which are looked forward t with delight and interest are the annual Prot banquet, given for their honorary members, and the Anniversary meeting given to the public. This year the Societ) entertained one hundred and thirty quests at the annual banquet. The Anniversarj program, celebrating the twenty-sixth year of the Society ' s organiza- tion was a great featuring the Protropian Chorus, a declamation, impersonation, and a debate, Resolved: That the principles and program of the Ku Klux Klan should eive the support of the American people. And now. with the past behind us with its victories and the future before us with its opportunities, may no loyal Prot rest upon his glories hut with the energy and vision of the piomer do his utmost to bring into realization. A Greater Piedmont and A Greater I ' n itn ' plan Si ■cietv. S. K. 79 OF the more recent developments on the campus, the organization of secret societies has been outstanding. One of these societies, the K. F. S., was organized in the latter part of the autumn of 1924. One of the main objectives which led to the formation of this order was that the students might better, by acting together, assimilate and perpetuate the ideals for which Piedmont stands. Another purpose in view was the development of a closer, more fraternal spirit among the students. In view of these facts, this secret order was brought into existence. There is the feeling that by its presence, and the presence of other such orders, the College spirit will be broadened and made more manifest, that the fellowship and association will grow to mean more than ever before that the spirit of interest and cooperation will grow stronger and that as the College grows in other ways there will be an equal growth in the societies which add to college life those things which could come in no other way.

Stetson University. Here we ran across some of the giants of Gulliver ' s Travels and lost 42-0, however, the score does not indicate the closeness of the struggle. In the second half the green-jerseyed lads from Piedmont opened up with an aerial attack that was bewildering to behold. Last, but not least, was our annual struggle with our ole rival, Dahlonega. It was the hardest fought game of the season and ended in a 3 to victory for Dahlonega. Statistics show through the total number of yards gained by each team that Piedmont outplayed its opponents. By a nicely executed pass Dahlonega worked the ball to Piedmont ' s 15-yard line where the Lions held like a concrete wall for three downs, then Captain Parkam of Dahlonega dropped back eight yards and kicked a nice field goal, the only score of the day. As fate would have it, Seigle took, one of Captain Brown ' s passes and ran fifty yards to a touchdown, only to be called back by the referee for stepping out of bounds six inches. Brown, captain and quarterback, was a splendid field general, besides being a good broken-field runner and possessing a deadly pass. James, captain-elect and tackle, was a thorn to all teams. His defensive ability is almost perfect. He is truly a scrapper. Wilder, manager and center, ole Fatty, is more substantial than the Rock of Gibralter. He only weighs 198 and is all man. He did the parting for the team. Scott, manager-elect and halfback. Skeester isn ' t much for size but his quick thinking and rapid playing made him a terror, to every opponent. Forester, end ; Max, as fast as a deer, did not play a bad game the whole season. He performed as well in the backfield when called upon. Chambers, end ; Moss, another born scrapper, scored our only touchdown of the season, when he caught a pass in the Clemson game. Jones, tackle ; Harold was a mainstay in the left side of the line and when he hit a man with that 185 pounds something had to fall. Gill, tackle, was a newcomer at Piedmont but he proved his worth as a football player, being exceptionally hard to take out of a play. Richie, guard; Bob is 150 pounds of all-fight. He is the knifing type of a guard, being able to slide through a rat hole and spill the play. Boring, our other 150-pound guard, was a scrapper as well as a hard worker. With his year ' s experience he should go good next football season. Head, center; Jerry was a splendid player and would have played center regularly had his rival been anyone but Fatty Wilder. Swiney, halfback ; Boll Weevil is our Lilliputian back. He is like a streak of greased lightning; a sure tackle, and a splendid broken-field runner. Martin, fullback, was our pile driver and a mean one at that. He was a star also at backing up the line. Ivie, end; Bat was going like a house-a-fire when he was kicked in the neighborhood of the brain, rendering him liors de combat. Smith, end ; Lamar was also a star of first magnitude when he had to leave the squad on account of an operation for appendicitis. Seigle, Langford, Harold, Welch, and Poole, although failing to make the coveted B, deserve special praise. 84 (Ptrlfi ' Basket-Ball ftquati l ,i i.sv( kiii; Captain, center 7.

The steady teamwork of our half - pint forward, Marguerite Allen, was a distinct asset to the team. The Fricks sisters did most of the shooting, hut our flashy center, Carter, was the wheel on which the whole team pivoted. Johnson played a steady back guard, hreaking many a pretty shot. She deserves credit for her good work. x player who came to the front the latter part of the season was Mozeley. She has a keen eye and a straight shot. Playing as forward she did much to defeat Central Presbyterian, one of our hardest opponents. Although the team was small in stature, praise for them must he loud. When up to joint they had speed and teamwork hard to heat. The scruhs are not to he left out. Much good material is there and we expect our team next year to he a championship squad. Coach Forester is the man to praise for our good season ; and through his steady work and unfailing interest, we are ahle to he proud of this year ' s hasket-hall team. Carter represented her team as captain, and Edgerton proved to be an efficient manayer. The girls ' basket-ball schedule for the season ' 24- ' 25 was as follows : Date Team Team Where Played Score Jan. 10 — P. C vs Winder High Demurest 22- 7 Jan. 17— P.

The greatest feat of the year was our victory over the Central V. M. C. A. of Atlanta, Georgia. This quintette was one of the best in the South. The game ended 27-28 with the Y on the small end of the score. Coach Forester had only three letter men around which to mould a team. This he did in about three weeks, for on December 10th the Lions ran roughshod over Baldwin in a practice game. The score was 61 to 13. Then on the seventeenth the Clemson College Y. M. C. A. team journeyed to Demorest but was sent home with a 31 to 9 defeat. Next came the Clemson Freshmen, who lost to the Forester crew, 31 to 23. The Ninth District A. and M. sent its five to battle with the Mt. Lions. Another walk away — 61 to 9. The Piedmont-Central Y. M. C. A. game came next on the schedule. In a rough and tumble battle Piedmont just managed to nose out the Miami Y. M. C. A. by a score of 19 to 20, but Rollins College of the Alligator State was no match for the ferocious Lions, so was sent home with a 44 to 25 score. On February 10th we received our first defeat. The strong Jewish Progressive Club team in Atlanta beat us, 53 -2 5. This was followed b y another defeat at the hands of the Anchor team of Atlanta. The score was 32 to 26. Then came the road trip through South Carolina and Tennessee, Piedmont playing four games, winning two and losing two. The first was a return game with the Clemson Rats which we won, 22 to 17. Next we lost a thriller to Milligan College of Tennessee, 27-23. We journeyed over to Harrogate, Tennessee, where we beat Lincoln Memorial University, 38 to 27. The last game was a losing game with the Anchor Class at Atlanta, 41-21. The varsity was composed of: Cockrell, manager; Sheridan and Gill, forwards; Head, center; Captain Stinecipher, Chambers, and Forester, guards. It is useless to say anything about every man ' s performance as each did more than his share to make the season the success that it was. The teamwork, passing, dribbling, etc., could hardly be equalled by any team played. 88 fiaaeball I IA March saw the candidates assembled on Haldeman Field for the purpose of rounding a team in shape in order that the Lions might make a creditable showing against tlu strong Camp Benning nine.

Our whole aim in this, as in all our work, is to give the greatest attention to all the details, and produce printing that will be a credit to the institutions from which the publications are issued. Our books will be just as good in the many years to come, when an annual is of greatest value, as they are to-day. Bell Company Incorporated Lynchburg. V .
