SMITH Registrar ADMINISTRATION A new feeling of hope and confidence is one of the great gifts of life discovered during college years. New knowledge becomes the strength of achieving, and the humility of searching deeper and further for truth. New physical coordination and added emotional maturity radiates a positiveness of well founded hope and confidence in life. New faith in the living God grows from accepting gladly the joy of each day, and pressing forward without com- t over the rough places of sorrow. New poise has become ours through the many choice opportunities of meeting new friends, living among kindred spirits, and studying with Christian professors. Our mutual goals for life on the Pied- mont College campus are summarized for us by the Gospel of Luke, Jesus grew in wisdom, In and in favor with God and man. JAMES E. WALTER [RS.

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 to 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 people 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 Engraving Co. for their artistic designing and printing of the book. Lee Sears of Hewett Studio, Atlanta, Ga., for his excellent photographic work. Dr. Fuller and Mr. Lemjakov for their kindness in supplying us with n photographic help. Our advertisers, who have shown in a most substantial way their confi- dence in our undertaking. Bill McClure for the many times we have used his The faculty and students of Piedmont College for their help in support the book. Mr. Samuel Woodruff, our sponsor, for his supervision. 7:, a n.: u Original layouts, distinctive typography and sparkling reproduction that give your annual the luxurious appearance impossible to obtain by standard layout, mass-production methods. j v cvi OH V| , 110 TRINITY C A T U R , PLACE E O R G I
