INTRODUCTION The 1962 Yonahian has been brought into being with the expectancy that in future years it will serve to re- create for us this period of our lives which has been filled with the seemingly innumerable trials, triumphs and joys of collegiate life. It is our hope that with the fulfilling of this purpose, this Yonahian will become and remain throughout the years one of our most treasured possessions. To you who take the deepest interest in all things about you; To you who have shown tirelessness and patience always; To you who give of your own time with unselfishness and without complaint; With appreciation for your constant smile; With gratitude for your understanding and friendship; With admiration for your willingness to help, and more than help. To you, Miss Griggs, we give our thanks for all that you have meant to each of us, and we dedicate the memories of this year as portrayed in the 1962 YONAHIAN. EDITOR ' S NOTE This is your 1962 YONAHIAN. On the pages of this book are found familiar scenes and faces around Piedmont College. The feelings and attitudes which identify Piedmont evolve from these same pages. The Staff, with these factors as a basis for the construction of this yearbook, has striven to produce a constant reminder of the activities and spirit which have been a part of Piedmont College in 1961-1962. The greatest benefit that can be derived from a yearbook is not in the pleasure it brings now, but in the memories it will serve to evoke in future years. This annual is not devoted to the past, but rather to today. The students make it what it is, the lessons learned outside of classes, and the changing age in which they find themselves are of utmost importance. If this thought is accomplished, the annual will have served its purpose. I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the hard work and co- operation afforded me by the Staff. Estella Searing, Editor 5 THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE Be ye perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect, is one of the thrilling statements which has come to us down the ages from the Master teacher of all times. My simple reflection on this eternal truth comes out of thirteen years of welcoming freshmen at Piedmont College, giving diplomas to grad- uating seniors, working with professors and trustees, calling on alumni, and counselling with men and women across the nation who believe in our program of church related higher education enough to share generously of their tithes and benevolences with us. Since all of us are acquainted personally with the frailty of human flesh, the thought of achieving perfection seems discouraging at times. Yet the ultimate objective of our liberal arts program is the pursuit of excellence. We are unashamed of our God given urge to reach toward the sublime, and to press forward with all possible speed toward the enrichment of life. We are never content with less than our best effort, the old college try. Moreover, a freshman ' s best performance of a Beethoven sonata will not satisfy his sense of art or craftsmanship in his sophomore year, nor will his second year accomplishments satisfy him in his junior year. Our quest for excellence is pursued steadily at our best, and in spurts at other times. It is tremendously inspiring to think about all the people who desire to give their best to help young people to do their best. Parents, high school teachers, and religious leaders at home are ever eager to co-operate with professors, chaplain, and the dean at college in opening the splendors of education for every student pilgrim on the highway of pursuing the more excellent way. It is equally thrilling to remember freshmen who never were ashamed of the simple religious faith they brought to college from home, and yet they grew in wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and man as they studied for four years in biology, sociology, business, and religion. It is gratifying to remember that Piedmont College in a distinct way continues to help young people help themselves with scholarship and work-aid programs. Every qualified person continues to have their God -given heritage of self -development honored and accepted in our midst. There are many areas in our world where this level of perfection has not been attained. Your alma mater is understandably proud of her many sons and daughters who have made good in life long pursuits of excellence. Businessmen, elementary-secondary and college teachers, doctors, law- yers, ministers, missionaries, legislators in Washington and Atlanta, housewives, and all of our former students and graduates who press on daily toward the Abundant Life, fulfill our quest of excellence. By the grace of the Eternal One who is the Giver of every good and perfect gift, our desire at college is to inspire and implement the quest of being perfect, even as our Father in heaven is per- fect.

COLLEGE CHOIR The college choral program is designed with three aims. First is training. Students with no previous training learn to carry a part, then to help weaker members, and eventually to go out as valuable members of church choirs in their home communities. Secondly, the choir provides leadership in chapel and vesper services. Soloists and small ensembles receive additional experience through this medium of expression. Third, publicity. The student with ability and a willingness to serve finds many opportunities in a small school such as ours. The choir toured Florida and visited several churches affiliated with Piedmont College. This is one of the best publicities Piedmont College could ever want. 58 BUDGET COMMITTEE DEAN WEITMAN DAVID PHILLIPS JOHNNY MERRITT RECREATION COMMITTEE GAYLE SMITH JEANETTE HOUSEN SANDRA PARTRIDGE BILLIE BOLING Mfc f • LEFT TO RIGHT: Cathy Crandall, Lee Reynolds, Judy King, Donald Whipple, Desiree Robinson E.

THE GAMMA CHI SOCIETY MAKE THE MOST OF THE DAY The Gamma Chi Society began its activities before school opened for the fall quarter. Prior to the fall registration, the members wrote letters of welcome to all girls planning to enter Piedmont for the first time. During the first week of school, the Gamma Chi ' s joined with their brothers, the Protropians, in welcoming and honoring the new students with a tea and cookout. The organization has stressed its aims by presenting a program at every meeting. One major money-making project a pizza supper was successfully completed. The proceeds have been used for the society ' s projects. 62 ?$ a o r : j , jfy M 3?3« FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Gary Cowan, Wayne Duncan, Victor Phillips, Marc Brandt, Bill Lee, Ray Cappo, Jim Bellizio, Ray Henry, Joe Dowding, Larry Carnes, Allen Home, Barry Hicks, Jim Rhinehart, Louis Bowman, Mr. Rountree, advisor, Rick Gallagher, Gerry Kittle, Donald Whipple, Lee Reynolds, Larry Williams, Doug Tyler, Mr. Keniston, advisor, David Ritchie, Hollis Tanksley, Mark Halle, Gerald Dunn, Mr. Lindholm, advisor, Jim Wilson.

Members of the society have been active in the Drama Club, the Owl, the Yonahian, the Student Association, FTA, SCA, and Choir. It is the hope of the Protropians that an increasing interest in campus activities will be maintained at Piedmont and that the building of our college through fellowship will remain a major goal in the mind of each new member of the society. 63 f t Left to Right, FRONT ROW: Gail Bramlett, Billie Boling, Sandra Bramlett, Brenda Dunn, Gayle Smith, President; SECOND ROW, Kathy Mize, Desiree Robinson, Shirley Segars, Tommie Fountain, Laura Crawford, Deryl Argo, Joy Housley.

A factor in this acquisition was a large party given in the early weeks of school. The society sponsored several socials and co-sponsored with their sisters, the Theta Zeta ' s, the Miss Yonahian Dance. The goal is to continue service to Piedmont College for the good of the college and its students. 65 J ' Jt t FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Rountree, advisor, David Phillips, Betty Hill, June Bottcher, Johnny Merritt, president, Judy Hassell, Cary Cowan.
