Piedmont Bible College - Fanal Yearbook (Winston Salem, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1971 volume:

In the original Greek, the word fanal means a beacon on a ship or a lighthouse. We the Fanal staff, feel that this is an appropriate name for a publica- tion of a school which stands as a beacon in steering young people in the right direction.

God stirred with- in his heart the desire to start a training center for Christians whom the Lord had called into His service. In 1945, this became Piedmont Bible Institute and in 1947, Piedmont Bible College. He has been an inspiration to students in the classroom as well as in his position as pastor of Salem Baptist Church. The uprightness of his character, the warmth of his per- sonality, and the depth of his wisdom are much appreciated by former and present students and by those with whom he is closely associated. The Lord has and will continue to use him greatly in the future because of his faithfulness unto Him and his dedica- tion to His directed will. To this man of God, whose life shines as a guiding light, we dedicate FANAL 1971. cat ess en ae gee oS . «og aye a + SUMMER SUMMER TEAMS This summer P.B.C. sent out four summer music teams; they went to the East Coast, the Great Lakes, the Midwest and the deep South, spreading good- will and Christian fellowship in the name of Jesus Christ and of our school. Here are excerpts of their separate tours, giving some insight into just what makes up a summer team, and what happens along the way. eC =a Bus LINDA ROBBINS, JEANIE KELLY, RUTH PREWITT, CHUCK CLEVENGER, MR. HILL We began the tour with much excitement, some high hopes, and a few misgivings. The itinerary looked impressive — from Winston Salem to Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Virginia again, and home. Cramming that into six weeks would be quite an achievement as well as an unforgettable experience — and so it was. From the first night we saw souls saved and lives dedicated. We had a time of spiritual blessing, but it was also a time of fun, and life-long friendships were formed. Who could forget the cabin on the lake, or the packing-and-unpacking ritual? Then there were other things: frustration with Mr. Hill because he double-checked every turnoff; praying for Monday; the welcome sight of a country church; the day our highway signs started reading ‘south’; the travel- ing arrangements — two in the front and three in the back; Mr. Hill’s famous line, ‘“Get out the money box;” looking for a gas station that gave stamps; and that final night ride while singing ‘Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning!” It was truly unforgettable. 18 @°5 MALE QUARTET JOEY PETERS, SHELBY HARBOUR, WAYNE RABORN, DAVID BROWN, MR. SMITH. On May 16, 1970, the Male Quartet left on the southern tour, lasting six weeks with every day filled with blessings, fun, and many other re- warding experiences. It was truly a unique ex- perience being able to travel representing our Savior and our school. The opportunities and the blessings led to a wealth of Christian experience; the memories of God’s blessings to us will always dwell in our minds. The summer tour was an avenue of service to many and a means of spiritual growth in each of our spiritual lives. It will not soon be forgotten. PATSY MADARIS RHONDA HAYNES CHRIS SCHOOLFIELD ANNETTE COX MR. MRS. CORNISH The day was May 16, the time about 9:30 a.m. There were four very excited girls running around campus. The were al- most ready to leave on their six weeks’ tour which took them up through the Virginias, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Michigan, with a side trip into Canada. They were excited, but there came that moment when they had to part with their “special friends’ and family. | am sure Sw the tour brought to each of us something special, but as a group it certainly brought many blessings. Many of these were in the services themselves — to be able to sing for the Lord. And even though the same songs were sung every night, they held a new meaning each time. Then also many of the blessings came from the people with whom we stayed or talked after church. Although we saw very few visible results, | am sure the Lord worked in many hearts. Then there were lighter moments — we'll always remember the house with the dogs, and of course, the time Annette tumbled headlong down the steps to land behind the piano. But these are all part of the fun. Yes, it was a very exciting six weeks. We praise the Lord for the many wonderful blessings He gave to us. 20 MIXED QUARTET RESSIE SMITH, TOMMY COMBS DWIGHT GREEN, SNOOKIE RILEY MR. McDONALD The summer of 1970 found the four of us, along with Mr. MacDonald, making our way up the beau- tiful highways of seven mid-western states. We, too, were on tour for the school. Yes, the mixed quartet stampeded seven states in six weeks with our south- ern brogue, smiles, and ingenuity. Each day was filled with new places, new people, new excitment, and new laughter. So many things transpired during this tour that we could not possible tell them all. To give a sample, try to place “Extremely Witty’ Dwight with “Consistent Singer” Ressie, ‘Good Eyes” Deloris, ‘Exercising’ Tommy, and ‘‘Adventurous’” MacDonald — and you have a truly MIXED quartet. We were grateful for the opportunity we had of sharing the blessinngs of our Savior and representing our school to the northern states. 21 SN EUROPEAN TOUR This summer a group of our students, along with their chaperon, toured the Reformation cities of Europe. Leaving the last week in July, they flew to Amsterdam. From there they went to the Rhineland, the Heidelberg area, Lucerne, Innsbruck, Venice, Florence, Rome, Pisa, Milan, Geneva, Paris, and London. At one point the well-informed Mr. Thomp- son took over the guide’s duties. The experience was rewarding, and gave us a burden for the lost millions in Europe — but we were glad to come back home. SUMMER SESSION If you were on campus for the summer term, you know how desolate this place can be. When sum- mer comes and most of our students go home, an eerie quiet pervades in the dormitories; silence falls on the cafeteria; in the student center you could hear a pin drop. But other areas are very active. The classrooms are as busy as ever, and the business office still rings with the staccato sound of typewriters. And if the student can re- sist the warm sun and the ice cream shop, there is always the library.

The freshmen are greeted with confusion in this maze of instructions, in spite of efforts on the part of staff and faculty. Up- perclassmen, alas, fare no better. But in the final analysis, registration day went fairly smoothly. There were the usual frantic trips from the old library to the academic offices, and all points in between, but everyone finally ended up in the business office, where they paid the first of many bills this year. It was a tiring day, a day of aching feet and tired backs. But it was also a very satis- fying day, because it heralded a new school term. Milton Williams fills out a few of the many necessary forms of registration. At top right, Larry Maness grimaces in pain as Regina Saunders rings up his first payment. Judy Katterson and Reuben Morales relax during a lull in the feverish activity of the day. 38 AND ORIENTATION Becoming oriented to campus surroundings can be a trying experience for even the most independent of stu- dents. But this breaking-in period can also be richly rewarding in the formation of new friendships, new en- vironment, and new goals. ALUMNI me of ti a ni Davs ' Wayo um [ ® sent at th fac om PD Ul.

Manuel 1923— 1963 This year Piedmont acquired some facilities which we have long needed; a new library, and below it a new cafeteria, were completed this summer and were dedicated during Alumni Days. The library- cafeteria complex was dedicated to the memory of Mr. George M. Manuel, former librarian who first catalogued and systematized our library files. The new library has ample shelf space and allows room for expansion of our collection. A soundproof office, cross-reference catalogs, and individual study carrels are other features of this modern facility. Below this, and separated by a layer of soundproofing, is the new cafeteria. Sporting a new kitchen with a walk-in freezer, a separate banquet room, and a wrap-around counter, this air-conditioned dining room has space to spare. Dignitaries from visiting colleges and universities lead the processional into the auditorium. wom acco Sinnamon centri NR IN concemonysenegynonerser nae ORI WEDDING? Some of the highlights of life at P.B.C. are the regularly-scheduled social events. Taking advantage of an opportunity to poke fun at one of the most common campus jokes, the Sophomore class chose a wedding theme for their social. Guests were es- corted to their places by ushers who seemed quite unused to trousers and wing tips: the family of the bride was ushered in, and then came half a dozen bridesmaids tottering precariously on unfamiliar high heels. And then came the bride, and she was beautiful in her white satin, lace, and...uh... tennis shoes. It all added up to an evening of topsy- turvy fun, and everyone enjoyed himself .. . her- self... itself? The father of the bride comes down the aisle to give her away — with apparent satisfaction. 44 SOPHOMORES | press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. —Philippians 3:14 Laura Mohar, student council representative; Karin Albert, secretary- treasurer; Annette Cox, second vice-president; Johnny Nunley, president; Robert ‘ Doan, first vice-president. 46 SEX SoS SOONG — “Treasures Then at last | comprehended With my stupid mind and saw That God could not pour His riches Into hands already full.

Ralph Cox Stirring up school spirit can be a rather difficult task, especially if most of the student body has a hard time getting out to the game. The cheer- leaders, under the leadership of co-captains Annette Cox and Linda Byrd, can do just that. When the preachers are behind, or when they lead by a safe margin — but especially when the game is neck and neck — our girls can be found doing their best to get us all to make the team feel our support. The darling of the team and of the fans is their mascot, Penny. Some routines are a little complicated for her, but she steals the show, regardless. By ad- mission of the players and of the spectators in the stands, the cheerleaders are an indispens- able asset to school spirit. “Two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar... all for the preachers stand up and holler!” PBC cheerleaders: Karen Lane, Barbara Varner, Carol Sampson, Judy Walker, Bannette Cox, Brenda Ford, Judy Musselwhite, Mary Beard; center, Linda Byrd, Penny Hill. Preachers: (back) Cecil Barnes, manager, Gerry Stuby, Ward Terrill, Brad Rose, Dale Treadway, Bob Trogdon, coach Wally Hill, Neil Gaffney, Shelby Harbour, James Thomp- son, Kenny Mills, Henry Enochs, and Alvis Pollard. The Preachers have had a full schedule this year. The athletic program this year has combined good Christian fellowship on the basketball court and an opportunity for the team to travel to many different schools. The schools they have played are: Johnson Bible College, Winston-Salem Bible College, Trevecca College, Washington Bible College, Appalachian Bible College, Southland Bible College, Tennessee Temple J.V., Kernersville Wesleyan College, Toccoa Falls Bible College, Atlanta Christian, John Wesley Col- | lege, and Covenant. PIEDMONT PREACHERS IN ACTION The athletic program at P.B.C. is a growing one, especially when it comes to the subject of intercollegiate 2asketball. Coach Wally Hill’s enthusiasm and determination are paying off in the molding of a good, strong squad. The highlight of this year’s play was the P.B.C. Invitational Tournament, which we won after a hotly- sontested game with Washington Bible College. In that tournament Southland Bible Institute took the richly- jeserved Sportsmanship trophy. The tournament served as a springboard for our school spirit, and for once the cheerleaders were able to get the crowd to yell as much as they wanted us to. This year we have sched- uled only religious colleges; in this manner we can pit our basketball skill against them, and yet have a time of Christian fellowship also. We have a relatively young team, with almost all the players eligible to return next year. We are proud of our Preachers, and look forward to greater success in the future. fee AIEEE A HIKE KERR EEE fee HRI Jesh FORK CHRISTMAS BANQUET HARRAH FERRER EE sho RRR RAK RRR RG REE AAA RRA AAR AERA ER HRA KRACK As the Christmas season neared, our minds were filled with visions of sugarplums, candy canes, and most of all, snow. The Christmas banquet would mark the lull between a semester's work and exam week, giving us a time for relaxation and § enjoyment before the rigors of finals. But our hopes for a white Christmas banquet were dashed when the mercury soared to 65 the day before. JR That night it was still warm, but inside the activi- § ties building we rang the bells! The stage was a beautiful outdoor setting, complete with bushy fir trees and a gigantic, but friendly, snowman. Overhead hung a large Christmas bell, built with materials from Stevens Hall. The theme was “Ring the Bell s,” accented by Mr. Whitney’s rendition of the song with that title. Mrs. Green gave a beauti- ful selection about our gifts to Christ at Christmas, as well as a rib-tickling parody on “’Twas the Night Before Christmas.’ Other musical entertain- ment was provided by a ladies trio, Miss Heat- wohl, Chapel Choir, and the Chorale. Mr. Billy Martin was master of ceremonies, and kept the program moving all the time. The catered meal was enjoyed by all, particularly some of the mar- ried students who kept going back for seconds. } It was an evening of enjoyment for all of us, but also was a time of exaltation of the Lord. Everyone joined in the singing of ‘’O Little Town of Bethle- © hem,” and we all called to remembrance that night in far-off Israel that the Word was made flesh. Mrs. Green hams, students enjoy Christian fellowship, Mr. Smith briefs the Chorale, and ladies sing at the 1970 Christ- mas banquet. 66 JAC K A Y RT ZE N —well known youth evangelist from New York, and his associ- ate Harry Bollback, led a nine- day crusade beginning Novem- ber 28 and continuing through the first week in December. The crusade was begun with a youth banquet on Saturday night after Thanksgiving. It was held in the city’s new convention center for the first five days, and then the meetings were transferred to the Coliseum. Fundamental churches from all over the area helped spon- sor the crusade. Special music was provided by song writer Al Smith, Beverly Buffington, a teenage trumpet player, and several teams from Piedmont. Special guest speakers were also featured during the week’s meetings. A former hippie leader from New York City, Tom Mahairas, now a junior at Bob Jones University, spoke one evening. Friday night was set aside as the God, Country, and Decency rally. Cap- tain Gwynn Vaughn from West Point Acad- emy delivered an inspiring message. An invitation was given after every message for those who wanted to accept Christ as their savior. Counselors were available to talk with those who came forward in the coun- seling room. Much prayer, hard work, and time went into the direction of these meet- ings and numerous lifetime decisions were made for Christ. Jack Wyrtzen preaches to eager .ears and hungry hearts at the Coliseum. Moving from the Convention center to the Coliseum, the evan- gelistic campaign continued. Dur- ing this final phase of the meetings many of our own students made their hearts right with God. This led to what might be termed a spiritual revival in the school. The powerful, straightforward preaching of Jack Wyrtzen and Harry Bollback pierced through the comfortable veneer of Chris- tian and non-Christian alike. Atten- dance increased by over a hundred more each night, and by the end of the campaign the attendance was estimated at 2500 for Sunday. The ministry of Word of Life has been of tremendous benefit to our campus and to our city. BIBLE CONFERENCE Speaking at our conference this year were men of outstanding quality. Our visiting speakers were Dr. Walter Hughes and Jacob Gartenhaus. Mr. Richard Patterson, Dr. Carl Green, and Dr. Thomas Lawrence — new members of our faculty — _ also presented messages with a Stirring challenge. Pastor Roy Deck, Dr. Earle Griffith, and Dr. Charles Stevens inspired us to live more dedicated Christian lives by sharing with us out of their wealth of experience. a eee Sk RRNA NSM SEINE RRO cererommemresilens pare eai iin bee gag sie: alee HAH bey ied jae -!

On the first morning of the conference it almost seemed that he called for divine special effects at the close of his message on the Second Coming. As he neared his conclusion, the wind howled around the eaves of the building and shook the windows. Suddenly the lights flickered and went out. A complete hush fell over the audience (as some students waited for the appearance of cloven tongues of fire) and Dr. Hughes proceeded quickly to end his sermon. As he looked at the time, he exclaimed, “Drake must have had something to do with this!” Winter in the Piedmont can be enjoyable or lamen- table, but it is totally unpredictable. The mercury may fluctuate between the 60's and the 20’s, or may fall to near zero. Weather forecasts are some- times known to include everything from partly cloudy to occasional tornadoes, and are generally only speculation anyway. Over the Christmas holi- days about four inches of ‘partly cloudy” fell on Piedmont Bible College (which goes to prove that it snows on the just and the unjust?). But winter is a time of snow, and when the snow falls it bears the perfect whiteness that is God’s synonym for our imputed righteousness. The sky clouds over, daylight weakly diffuses through the gathering overcast, and the snow begins to fall. Each flake is totally unique, a work of art wrought in frail ice- feathers by the hand of God. Dusk falls, as does the white blanket; and the observer can step out- side late at night, when the clouds have passed on and the flakes no longer fall, to find his thoughts turning to the Lord. In the morning there will be footprints, sled tracks, and traffic jams — but now, in the perfect stillness of the new-fallen snow, a man communes with his God. FIRST CAME.. THEN SNOW . .

Therefore we utilize every square foot of space. With the completion of the new library cafete- ria, the need for the old library disappeared. In these photographs the old library undergoes a complete face-lifting and change of identity. At first it is reduced to a shambles, the remain- ders of walls lying all around; then it is con- verted into sorely-needed offices for our professors. In the bottom picture, what was once the men’s study area has become a cor- ridor linking the business and academic wings of Deeds Hall. Teachers’ offices face along this hall. Other changes included the revamping of the old cafeteria into a classroom, now know as “D-7. Meanwhile we continue to pray earnestly, and look for other renovations— and innovations to come. 89 VALENTINE’S SOCIAL “A get-to-gether at Cranberry Corners’ was the theme for the annual Piedmont Bible College Sweet- heart Social, sponsored by the Chapel Choir. A skit, revolving around life in a small country town, was presented with the help of our ‘drama department”. Don Bolick, Tommy Combs, Dwight Green, Delores Riley, Linda Franklin, and Gary and Carol Plumlee played a special part in the musical. Everyone dressed appropriately for the occasion; the girls wore costumes of the nineteenth century and the guys, well, they like it. Just in case some unlucky Valentine was neglected without a box of candy, Marie Sheets helped to fill that empty spot (both in the heart and in the stomach) with home-baked cookies. The theme of love was not only shown in good times but also it was manifest by the love of Christ. We all left with our hearts in harmony one with another. 91 SWEETHEART OF P.B.C. Selecting the queen and her court is an annual event at Piedmont. The week preceding the Sweetheart Social the freshman, sophomore, and _ junior classes elect a girl to represent their class in the court. Three girls are nominated by the Senior class and from these three one is elected as queen by the student body. The outcome of this election is announced at the beginning of the social and the queen is crowned. This year’s queen was Mrs. Nancy Wolfe. The girls who made up her court were: Kathy Marsh and Vicki Ragsdale, senior class; Frankie Brown, junior class; Elizabeth James, sophomore class; and Shelia Byerly, freshman class. President Drake crowns Piedmont’s Sweetheart of 1971, Nancy Wolfe. Intramural sports at P.B.C. include basket- ball and softball. As a fall-and-spring sport, softball is a favorite. As always, intramural competition is arranged according to classes, and spirit runs high, be the players freshmen or faculty. Games are played at Washington Park, or on the diamond at the day school. Intramurals are a time to work hard, a time to goof around, to show off, to make the big play, but most of all — to win, if at all pos- sible. After all, who likes to lose — right senior-faculty? 93 Dok SENIORS According to my earnest expectation and my hope, thatiin nothing — | shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, So now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. —Philippians 1:20 Vicki Ragsdale, secretary-treasurer; Doug Murphy, first vice-president; Bonnie Day, student council representative ; Conway Shough, president; Norma Seiver, second vice-president. 94 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word. What more can He say than to you He hath said, You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled? “The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose, 1 will not, | will not desert to its foes: That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake!”’ a Anthony Anson Abernathy Danville, Va.

ADMINISTRATI dl Po - . ele ADMINISTRATORS Were it not for a competent staff of administrators, any organization would be doomed to failure. Our administrators, being not only competent but also god-fearing and dedi- cated Christian men, have seen the college through some very hard times. Their conduct as our examples has always been that which any young Christian would be proud to follow. To these administrators goes most of the credit for our prosperity and continuity as an institution. 3 President DONALD K. DRAKE 112 DR. CHARLES H. STEVENS President Emeritus DR. EARL G. GRIFFITH Vice president Emeritus 113 Dealing with student problems, working with the Student Relations Committee, and keep- ing the student body informed are among the duties of the deans. The academic dean is responsible for arranging the curriculum and coordinating class schedules, so as to inspire a well-balanced total program. He also counsels with students and deals with the more serious problems that might arise. The student deans are available to help the men and women in any problem, either spiritual, social, or scholastic. As a source of information, of advice, of example, our deans are among the best anywhere. ACADEMIC DEAN MR. RONALD L. REINERT DEAN OF MEN MR. RICHARD PATTERSON DEAN OF WOMEN MRS. MARGARET COX REGISTRAR MR. CARL E. BOLLINGER BOOKKEEPER MRS. DORIS MANUEL HOUSEMOTHER MRS. MARTHA WHITEHEART No school could function without those faithful few, who behind the scenes, give so freely of their time, talents, and patient understanding. Whether the task be coun- seling and registering students: being a second mother to homesick girls; or keep- ing books and discussing financial pro- blems, they are always willing to give of themselves to the students. Though grad- itude for their service and friendship may not always be expressed, we could not do without them. OFFICE STAFF Much detail work has to be done in both the Business and Academic Offices. The ladies in the Business Office handle student finances and answer letters from contributors to the school. The Academic Office staff work with the proffessors in setting up grade averages and answering letters of those whish- ing to enroll at Piedmont. We owe much thanks to these ladies who do their best to help the students in many capacities. BUSINESS OFFICE: Miss Ellie Shaw, Mrs. Sonya Morris, Mrs. Regina Saunders ACADEMIC OFFICE: Miss Betty Stewart, Mrs. Marcia Patterson, Mrs. Susie Harrah LIBRARY STAFF The backbone of any good school is a well-stocked library. We are proud of our new library, and rightly so. One of the most adequate in this area in respect to study and reading space, our library is the study center for boarding and off-campus students alike. However, no library, regardless of how well planned and _ stocked, can operate without a competent staff of people who know and under- stand library rules and procedures. We are fortunate to have such a staff in our library. All are experienced in library work, and are available to help and advise at any time the library is open.

This year our lades have a new kitchen in which to work, equipped with all the conveniences the old one lacked. Three main meals are offered each day, and a bag lunch is provided for those who have to work in the evenings. Cafeteria service is included in the costs of schooling, taken care of on registration day. This year, along with our new cafeteria, we have a new food service manager, Mr. Brian Kelly. If you ask him real nice, you might get an extra tangerine.

The purpose is ‘to foster a well-rounded program of student. activities which will develop the spiritual, physical, and social life of the students, to inspire loyalty to the school and to the principles for which. it stands, and to promote an efficient and harmonious school life.’ This. organization is composed of committees with various functions: Execu- tive, Spiritual, Social, Athletic, Student Rela- tions, and Cafeteria Committees. These com- mittees — operate to insure students a benefi- cial campus life. Emphasis is placed on the students’ project of the year. The Student Council supervises the effort to achieve this goal. With this as its thought, “There is no substitute for you,” the Council seeks to fulfill its aim collectively and individually. “Garmon Burton ; a oe Caudle, EMERITUS 4 AN Emory Con: - A. S.

Each week it seems that a miracle happens as the paper rolls off the press. It takes the volunteer work of about forty people every month to put out the six-page newspaper. It began as a one-page mimeographed paper and sold for five cents a copy. Today a professional printer publishes this paper which every student and alumnus receives. This work provides good experience for teachers, preachers and missionaries who will some- day publish their own papers whether large or small. This “course” in journalism is free to all and adds to the Piedmont Curriculum.

JUNIOR MARSHALS Those students chosen for this honor are recognized on the basis of their scholarship, leadership, Christian character and future potential in the Lord’s service. This year they participated in the inauguration of our new president as well as in the graduation exercises. Their duty is to lead in the graduating class and academic procession. eee. ee David Washburn; Steve Tilley, chief marshal; Frankie Brown; Becky Manuel 134 f ‘ WH i youl sce THA L tH ig S WHO anmonc stupDenTs IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES a WHO 1.

The faculty may nominate alumni for honor- ary membership who have shown outstanding intellectual achievement, approved Christian character, and evident leadership ability in some area of Christian work, provided the nominee has been graduated at least ten years. Rev. Roy B. Deck graduated from Piedmont in 1961 with the highest academic average ever achieved at PBC. In 1963 he returned to Piedmont and served as Business Manager until the fall of 1967. That same year he was called to Swan Creek Baptist Church in Jonesville, N.C. This year he was elected as President of the Alumni Associa- tion. He has shown a continual interest and love for the Lord’s service as well as for Piedmont. We congratulate him on his second nomination to Delta Epsilon Chi. 136 DELTA EPSILON CHI AEX Delta Epsilon Chi is the honor society of the Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges of which Piedmont Bible College is a member. In their preamble the purpose of the society is stated as being ‘to encourage and honor outstanding academic scholarship, approve Christian char- acter, and Christian leadership ability among the accredited schools.’’ These members are nom- inated by the faculty at the beginning of second semester. The qualifications for scholastic mem- bership are an academic average of not less than 2.3, Christian character, and leadership ability. Those Seniors chosen this year are: Elva Sue Hall, graduating with a BRE degree and preparing to go to Ireland as a missionary; Vicki Ragsdale, also graduating with a BRE degree; and John Baker, graduating with a ThB degree. OUTSTANDING SENIOR A new award was initiated by the Senior Class this year known as the ‘Outstanding Senior Award.” This was to be given to an exceptional senior, outside of class and Student Council officers, who had really shown interest in the school and taken part in school activities throughout his years at Piedmont. The award was presented on Senior Sneak Day. This year the ‘‘Outstanding Senior Award” went to Bill Yancey. His constant willingness to help, his quiet manner, and his gentle Christian spirit has been an inspiration to many students. In the dorm, in the classroom, and in every area, Bill has shown forth Christ in his life. 138 1. Paul Leslie 2. Steve Peters 3. Danny Stokes 4. Lonnie Cannaday 5. Kitty Sue Johnson 6.

The missionary endeavor of this fellow- ship sponsors guest speakers for weekly meetings. These meetings help students understand the needs, lives and circumst- ances under which missionaries minister. They also help students make decisions about where to serve and under what board to serve if planning to be a missionary. This year a new approach was taken by PMF. The students were given an active role in its formation and execution. A Faith-Promise- Plan was instituted where by the students could make weekly donations. With this fund students were aided in visiting various foreign fields during the vacation periods. The PMF has also planned a week long Mis- sionary Conference in lieu of the previous week-end meeting. Dr. Robert Delnay, faculty sponsor, is a Greek professor and a former missionary to Haiti. PIEDMONT WIVES The Piedmont Wives Fellowship is an organization composed of _ student and faculty wives. Their purpose is to bind closer the Piedmont family and to have an opportunity for fellowship. In their monthly meetings they make plans for up-coming socials and spe- cial events. Officers: Lois Smith, Secretary-Treasurer; Pam Reed, Refreshment Chairman; Grace Kautzer, President; Natalie Shough, Vice- President; Carolyn Boles, Assistant Secretary. 140 CHORAL GROUPS CHAPEL CHOIR Providing special music for both services and social events is the job of the chapel choir. In previous years this choral group was composed of upperclassmen only; this year, due to the expansion of the student body, students from all classes participate. Owing to their production of the Sweet- heart Social this year, the chapel choir has come to be referred to as ‘those country people.” Mr. Warren Whitney CHORALE Made up of freshmen, sophomores, and ju- niors, the chorale is the traveling choir. Once every month they travel to churches as far away as West Virginia, taking the gospel in song as their ministry. This year the chorale planned a ten day trip to Florida and Georgia.
