Formerly there were four literary societies — Gamma Chi and Theta Zeta Phi for women, and Protropian and J.S. Green for men. The men ' s societies last year disbanded for the duration. This year the women ' s societies and several other organizations — Students ' Associa- tion, Association of Women Students ' Council, Y.W.C.A., and Y.M.C.A. — merged into one organi- zation, the Students ' Association of Piedmont College. This arrangement will last only for the duration. 17 OWL STAFF EDITOR SARAH GILLESPIE BUSINESS MANAGER DONALD MAY ASSOCIATE EDITOR .

Reactions from students indi- cate that much progress is being made toward the attainment of these goals. The Religion Committee is composed of several smaller committees of students and faculty members: VESPERS Bonnie Dees Jill Hayden Mary Alice Puckett Edna Stanley CHAPEL C. B.

Her most impor- tant contributions have been in the fields of athletics and student government. She has been vice-president of Students Association, presi- dent of the Junior Class, a member of the Supreme Court and of the A. W. S. Council. As an outstanding basketball player during her first two years at school, and as director of the girls physical education program, she has proved her exceptional athletic ability. MARTHA FORT ANDERSON During her four years at Piedmont, Martha has distinguished herself by her excellent scho- lastic record and her contribution to the musi- cal life of the school. She was awarded the Travelli Scholarship for the highest average in the Freshman Class, and has occupied a permanent place on the Dean ' s List. Her musical activities include membership in the Music Club, one year secretary-treasurer; participation in several piano recitals; and serving as Glee Club accom- panist. She is a member of the Torch Club- — an honorary society for Piedmont women. FREEMAN MASHBURN Although Freeman has been at Piedmont for only one year, he has been one of our most active and capable leaders, especially in religious work. He has served as chairman of the Religion Committee, which has the tremendous responsi- bility of planning chapel and vesper programs, and has personally conducted many religious pro- grams on the campus. Until his graduation at the end of the second quarter, he was president of the Senior Class. 24 THE U M P I IS fUll mtm J. W.
