Farrah Quits... President 1) Farrah Fawcett-Majors, wife of television ' s Six-Million Dollar Man ' Lee Majors, last summer abandoned her role as a female detective in ABC ' s hit series Charlie ' s Angels. Despite the absence of poster-girl Farrah, the series remained in the Top Ten network shows with Cheryl Ladd as the new angel, complimenting Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith of the original cast. 2) Former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey died Jan. 13 at his home in Minnesota. The Minneso- ta Senator was the unsuccessful Democratic Party presidential candidate in 1968. His body rested in state at the Capitol rotunda and at his funeral, Vice President Mondale eulogized him as a man who taught us not only how to live, but how to die. Humphrey, who served in various capacities in government for more than 30 years, died of inoperable cancer. 3) New York outfielder Reggie Jackson blasts one of his record- setting three homers in Game 6 of the World Series. Jackson ' s success at the plate was largely responsible for the Yankees ' triumph over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the best-of-seven series. Signs. . .Farmers Protest 4) Artoo-Detoo and See-Three- pio, characters from the year ' s most successful movie, Star Wars, were partially respon- sible for an upturn in trading and price of Twentieth-Century Fox stock. A second success titled Close Encounters of the Third Kind reinforced Americans ' be- lief in contact with alien beings. 5) U.S. President Jimmy Carter signs the controversial Panama Canal Treaty during a meeting of the Organization of American States. The treaty, which will enable Panama to eventually take complete control of the canal, faces stiff opposition in the Senate where a two-thirds vote is needed for ratification. 6) Farmers making up an alliance known as the American Agricul- ture Movement went on strike Dec. 14 to protest low farm commodity prices. The above tractorcade in a Kansas town was one of many staged to call attention to farmers ' plight and promote the idea of parity prices for grain and livestock.

So long and so well. Like the dolphin who guides you, You bring us beside you, To light up the darkness and show us the way, For though we are strangers in your silent world, To live on the land we must learn from the sea, To be true as the tide, And free as a wind-swell, Joyful and loving in letting it be; k Aye, Calypso, the places you ' ve been to, The things that you ' ve shown us, The stories you tell, Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit, The men who have served you, So long and so well. THE IMMIGRANT (Sedaka Cody) Harbors open their arms to the young searching Foreigner Come to live in the light of the beacon of liberty Planes and open skies, billboards would advertise Was it anything like that when you arrived? Dreamboats carried the future to the heart of America People were waiting in line for a place by the river: It was a time when strangers were welcome here Music would play They tell me the days were sweet and clear It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room That people could come from everywhere; Now he arrives with his hopes and his heart set on miracles Come to marry his fortune with a handful of promises to find they ' ve closed the door, They don ' t want him anymore, There isn ' t anymore to go around, Turning away he remembers he once heard a legend, that spoke of a mystical land called America.

Walter Congratulations and best wishes to the Senior Class of 1978! As President of our four-year, liberal arts college, founded in 1897, springing from the missionary spirit of the Methodist and Congregational Churches and supported to this present day by men and women of good will and religious faith throughout the Nation, I am gratified to observe some of the fruits among us of the influence and teaching of the Man of Galilee. Jesus said, am come that ye might have life, and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). This past year has witnessed dramatic evidence of the outpouring of brotherly love and good will of which Jesus spoke. Outstanding, of course, were the concern and financial assistance our students, faculty, and staff volunteered in response to the disaster which struck our neighbor, Toccoa Falls College, when, in the early morning hours of Sunday, November 6, 1977, the breaking of the Kelly Barnes Dam took the life of 39 men, women, and children associated with that college. Never shall I forget that following Monday morning, when your Student Government Association officers, led by your president Tony Scott, came to my office to request the privilege of presenting the disaster at our regular Wednesday morning chapel service and inviting everyone present to share in a free-will offering for the relief of our unfortunate friends. Here was God-inspired compassion at work! And how gracious was the response! Everyone appreciated the opportunity to assist our grief-stricken fellow students and teachers. We knew them well. For many years we had played their basketball teams. We had admired them as able and wholesome athletes. Now we knew them also as people who live their faith and as Christians whose faith gives them purpose in life, and in death. How our own spirits soared as they continued to sing with confidence in the midst of their grief, I know that my Redeemer liveth and, because He lives, I, too, shall live. Fellowship with brethren throughout the world and a mature quality of abundant living were also reflected in our response to the two appeals this year for danations of blood. The pint of blood— a gift without price— was given gladly by many of our students and faculty. In the Bible we learn that God has made all nations of one blood. For many years this truth was not accepted everywhere in our land. It was spiritually gratifying to observe that all races on our campus —Red, Black, Yellow, White— contributed a life-giving pint of their blood to some unknown person whose very life may well depend upon that very gift. Finally, I am proud of the young men and women of our College who realize that living abundantly means living wholesomely on all occasions— social, academic, and athletic. As I move around our country, I am proud to hear from many persons at other colleges and churches that our young men and women conduct themselves as ladies and gentlemen on all occasions. This is true of our athletic teams in basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, and track. It is true also of our choir and band, who have brought our College a good name as they travelled this year not only around Georgia but even into the northern States. You will soon attain the status of graduates of Piedmont College. Our graduates have an excellent reputation as teachers, business men and women, social workers, and as graduate students. All of the 1977 graduates, to the best of my knowledge, had by the following September accepted positions in the field of their training or were in graduate school. This has been so for many years. In the field of professional Education, our graduates have an excellent reputation as teachers, principals, and superintendents at all levels in the public schools of Georgia and in many parts of the nation. The Division of Education continues to grow in strength and service, and this past year added an early childhood education program to its curriculum. Dr. Claude L. Purcell, Piedmont College alumnus of 1931, and a former Georgia State Superintendent of Schools, continues to serve his Alma Mater as Chairman of its Board of Trustees. This past year the emphasis on education was further strengthened by the addition to that Board of Dr. Jack P. Nix, who recently retired as State School Superintendent. As you step forward in June to receive your diploma, you can be confident that the Piedmont College diploma is accepted at every college and university in our country as evidence of top quality work under a talented and professional faculty. It is a source of pride to me that all members of our faculty are dedicated to teaching youth and to the service of God, and that fifty-five per cent of them have the earned doctorate as mark of their academic excellence. I am proud also of my administrative colleagues. We all — as administrators, faculty, staff — share together a common desire to help every student achieve the depth and breadth of knowledge characteristics of a liberal arts education in its finest, truest sense. It is my belief and my hope that we all have shared on our campus this year such social, intellectual and spiritual growth, that we are better prepared to live that rich and useful life of which Our Lord and Savior spoke when he said, I am come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly.

CO A sound principle of American democracy and religious faith is the doctrine of aiding worthy and talented young people to help themselves become better citizens. At Piedmont College we believe in making quality education available to all young men and women who have the ability and ambition to earn a college degree. These young women, pictured on this page, are representatives of the Piedmont College student body. By availing themselves of the opportunity, provided by the Work-Aid and Scholarship program of the College, they demonstrate the truth of the slogan: Helping young people help themselves. Over 75 per cent of our young men and women come from homes in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Georgia, and the Carolinas. Others come from South Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, New England, the Midwest and Overseas. Our students have an inspiring diligence and a deep sincerity of purpose. They want high quality education, and they want it enough to work for it. Approximately 50 per cent of our 2300 graduates (since 1897) have become teachers, 45 per cent entered business, and 5 per cent law, medicine, and the ministry. A gift of $300 is needed by the College every day of the academic year to supplement tuition payments and other income for operating expenses. 82 E 03 03 _Q ■ —  CO CO in CO i— CO c TO I o ® co o c TO o CO k. 0) ■a I o - CO I c CD 3 ■o LU E 3 C CO co h.

Each individual that begins a college career is much like a ship setting sail on a course it has never taken before. Both are setting out for destinations unknown. There will be many adventures along the way to where you are going. Many of these adventures will be the happiest times of your life, and yet many will be times of pain and frustration. Friends will be made along the way and the old ones will be left behind. Through all your adventures you will finally make your destination. The 1978 Yonahian has been a destination made for me. This book has not been an easy task. Hard work and dedication has put it together. It is my hope this book will be a happy reminder to you as you look back on you college days and the course you took to your destination in life. Karen L. Blackwell Editor D O) O Q. LU 140 Ill WALSWORTH Marcelinc, Mo., U.S.A. Elvis Dies... Power Fails. 1) Elvis Presley, a Memphis truck driver who rocketed to fame in the late 50 ' s with such songs as lailhouse Rock, You Ain ' t Nothin ' But a Hound Dog, Heartbreak Hotel, and Love Me Tender, died at his Graceland Mansion Aug. 16, 1977. Idolized by millions, the King of Rock ' n ' Roll was 42. 2) Bostonians are shown digging out after a record 21-inches of snow fell in a 24-hour period. In other parts of the country, similar snows snarled traffic and closed businesses, industries and schools. 3) This view of the New York skyline was taken during a major blackout on July 14. The only visible lights are from ships in the harbor and auxiliary power lighting in a few buildings. Circuit overloads were responsible for the massive blackout. •Cowboys Triumph... 4) In August, David Berkowitz, a 24-year-old postal worker, was arrested and charged with murder ending an exhaustive search by New York police for a lovers ' lane killer who called himself Son of Sam. 5) Dallas Cowboys ' Tony Dorsett slips into the end zone to give his team an early 7-0 lead in Super Bowl XII. The Cowboys managed to defeat the Denver Broncos, 27-10. 6) United Mine Workers walked off their jobs at midnight Dec. 5 and rejected numerous contract proposals in a 90-day period before President Carter invoked the Taft-Hartley Amendment in an effort to force miners back to work. Coal shortages resulting because of the strike have forced many utilities to decrease produc- tion, forcing residential, commer- cial and industrial customers to conserve. Shorter industry work weeks and plant closings put thousands out of work. Photos Credit United Pi«l Inlcrnjtionjl
