Piedmont College - Yonahian Yearbook (Demorest, GA)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1952 volume:

p s Education Re lie ion Guidance BUILDING BLOCKS FOR THE FUTURE What did we receive from Piedmont? We arranged our building blocks with which we expect to be able to face the future with a keen eye and with confidence. Our lives were built on the sound foundation of religion, guidance, and knowledge. We mixed activities and recreation with these solid factors, so that now we are more t han adequately equipped to go our separate ways into the various paths of the future.

If this book, through its pictures and script, brings to you, readers, a glimpse of our school life; if it recalls to you, Seniors, pleasant memories of the yesl teryear — of comrades and of happy hours passed at PIEDMONT COLLEGE — then we shall know that it has served its purpose well. OUR ' 52 YONAHIAN CONTAINS... PEOPLE, PLACES, AND PERSONALITIES THINGS WE DO IN ORGANIZATIONS OUR FEATURES AND ACTIVITIES THINGS WE DO IN ATHLETICS DEDICATION... In loving devotion for the loyal and depend- able service that he has rendered to Piedmont College students, we dedicate this, the 1952 Yonahian, to Dr. Homer W. Stevens, as he completes his thirtieth year of teaching here. ■ DR. HOMER W. STEVENS X ' EM MB ■ ■ ■ ' BABCOCK HALL GYM B DR. JAMES E. WALTER President DR. A. R. VAN CLEAVE Dean ADMINISTR ATION... Here is a book called The Yonahian. Since one is published every year it is called an annual. To some it might be just another book. To you, however, who have given some of your best years to Piedmont, who have played and worked and worshiped here in the midst of friends, to you it is more than a book. It is to you a treasure store of memories. The record of gain and loss, of sorrow and joy, of growth, of fun and of achievement is written here. As the years come and go may you often turn to these pages, and may you have ever an increasing happiness from the mem- ories they arouse. A. R. Van Cleave Dean MRS. W. B. SMITH Registrar MRS.

COLORS Black and Gold FLOWER Gold Chrysanthemum At the beginning of the school term of 1922-23, as a result of a long felt and growing need of young ladies of Piedmont College, the Theta Zeta Phi was organized. When the name Theta Zeta Phi is mentioned, there is an instant feeling of pride in the heart of every member and they think of the ideals for which we stand — Love, Idealism, Friendship.

The Protropian Literary Society has contributed much in the past 55 years to the formation of noble character and high ideals among the young men who have sought training at Piedmont. The elements of brotherly love, sympathy, and co-operation of the society bind men together so that each individual may lend to the entire group the qualities of strength and talent which he possesses, and may in turn receive the help, inspiration and protection of the whole organization.

We, the members of the staff, have tried to make it a worthy successor to those books that have preceded it. We hope you will enjoy it. The work of editing has been none too easy, but it would have been many times harder — in fact, impossible — had it not been for the aid and co- operation given us. To the following who have helped in the preparation of our book, we wish to express our appreciation: Mr. Long, of Bowen, Long and Young, Inc., and the members of Photo Process Engaving Co. for their artistic designing and printing of the book. Duke Riner of Hewett Studio, Atlanta, Ga., for his excellent photographic work. Mr. Lemjakov for his kindness in letting us have some of his pictures. Mr. Drake, our sponsor, for his supervision. The faculty and students of Piedmont College for their help in support- ing the book. Our advertisers, who have shown in a most substantial way their con- fidence in our undertaking. Mrs. Batson, college treasurer, for handling our finances. Mays Potts, a friend indeed, for the many times we have used his car. 95 ■ minus hi DISTINCTION V} c+y jLdc i $J- jZem , cV V|C Decatur, Georgia 1 DM fl B Am . h I ' 1L kj • K U J f PfcS fil v a i
