Piedmont College - Yonahian Yearbook (Demorest, GA)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1973 volume:

Ijjonabtan The Editors ' Message The golden Mayflower atop the Piedmont College steeple is a symbol of the courage, patience, and faith our forefathers brought with them to frontier America. As time progressed, changes were made in the landscape as well as in the spiritual and physiological needs of the Pilgrim fathers. These changes were made in order to survive. Without them, all may have perished. Piedmont College Administration, Students, and Faculty members view the Mayflower with high aspirations and recognize the ideals the Pilgrims posessed. However, we must look further than these ideals in order to continue as a college in the future. We must realize, just as every settler realized when they came to this vast land, that changes must be made as time goes on. Nothing can re- main constant; sameness causes withering; withering brings on death. Adaption is a natural process of man. Without it, one may cease to exist. This is why we selected the theme of Love, Friendship, and Trust for the 1972-73 Yonahian. With these three ele- ments, people can begin to break down false barriers within themselves and work as one entity together instead of several working against each other. Possibly dissen- sion, discrimination, unrest, and insincerity would dis- appear. We must work together — United we stand, divided we fall.

ADMINISTRATION The President ' s Message Every new year is a season for writing a new record. Even as a Professional baseball pitcher writes a revised career history with every pitch, students and faculty write their up-to-date collegiate history with every term paper, every social event, and every work-aid experience. Each day offers a fresh page of life, and by the grace of God, our personal efforts to learn and achieve are multiplied by Divine Growing Power. Steadily we accelerate our disciplined abilities to produce more satisfying results during the course of a year. As I think over the events of the 1972-73 academic year, I am happily impressed by the feeling on the part of students and faculty that this has been a good year. A variety of students and faculty have shared experiences with me that led me to feel that we shall be hearing from them in the near future as youthful leaders in education, business, social services, medicine, community services, and church leadership. Only an ounce of imagination is required to prophesy that they will be construc- tive and desirable citizens wherever they live. I am deeply grateful to the faculty members and staff who have tackled the job of another Self-Study with craftsmanship, good will, and indefatigable determination to succeed again in meeting and ex- ceeding the standards of accreditation. Likewise, I am profoundly grateful for the spirit of cooperation among the officers of the Student Government who are doing their pari to help their Alma Mater in strengthening and carrying forward the standards of excellence. My reflections of the year are summarized for me in the encouraging and inspiring words ot the Apostle Paul, who wrote to the Philippians (4:8) In conclusion my brother, till your minds with those things that are good and deserve praise: things that are true, noble, pure, lovely, and honorable — Dr James E Walter ADMINISTRATION AND STAFF Dr. Clarence A.

This small world is filled with countless daily happenings, some of which we live, others we hear about, but, to those outside our world, these happenings go unknown and unnoticed. The students ' removal is more mental than physical; it is a sort of preoccupation with studies and dates and campus activities and just lite in general. The Student Government Association, whose job it it to help create this world within world would like to thank every student, faculty member and administrator who has Melped us this past year. We feel that it has been a very successful one. We succeeded everything we tried and are very happy with the 1972-73 year — Roger Cook.

I have had the privilege of associating with as courageous, tenacious, and determined group of young men as I have observed in 30 years of coaching. When the phrase It isn ' t whether you win or lose, but how you play the game was coined, the basketball team of 1972-1973 could have been the inspira- tion. — Coach Cave Kneeling left to right: Tom O ' Brian, Jim Jacobs, Ronnie Hunter, Ronnie Jackson, Mike Gillum, and Mike Hunter.

We haven ' t won any games in the past two seasons. Be- cause of this, we hold the all time NCAA College record for losing games. I agree with Coach Cave that the record is not something we should be ashamed of or embarrassed about. Out ballplayers gave 100 percent in all the games they ' ve played. The Lions have two more games left this year and with some luck we might win one of them. I ' m sure I speak for all of the faculty and students at Piedmont College when I say thank you for giving 100 percent while representing all of us from Piedmont College. — Mickey Gore 70 Another reporter? 71 THE CHEERLEADERS Kneeling: Candy Herron, Deb Hix, Karen Gallipeau, and Deb Lenoir.
