Mrs. Lopez is one of the building blocks upon which Pied- mont College was established. She has been at Piedmont for 17 years and in that time she has created one of the best Spanish Depart- ments in the state. Mrs. Lopez has also given many students an op- portunity to express themselves and their talents in her very exciting and entertaining pro- grams she produces every year. On behalf of all past, present, and future students, Gracias mi Amiga In appreciation to Mrs. Ellen O ' Neal for her help and guidance to all of the students at Piedmont College. She has been available to all of us, whenever we needed her. Mrs. O ' Neal has also built the Special Services Program to be an in- strumental part of the students learning process. With our love and hearty appreciation. We thank you. Appreciation The President ' s Letter by James E. Walter Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled! Joyful all ye nations rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With angelic hosts proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem! With angelic hosts proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem! Hark, the herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King. The Christmas spirit of joy in giving to others is a living reality on our campus throughout the year. Our mission of faith in the potential for good in the lives of eager and industrious young men and women is reflected in the confidential jobs we entrust to them. Our confidence and strength come from the prayers and gift support of friends who are in tune with the Christmas carols. There could be no gift supported college in our land of the free and the home of the brave without the fundamental convictions of faith in our heavenly Father. The freedom that stems from teachings of Jesus like, Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free enables independent and church related colleges to maintain the traditional teachings of integrity, individual initiative, social justice, free enterprise, and religious freedom. Even as the Babe in Bethlehem received gifts from the three wise men who followed the Star, learners of today depend on wise men and women who dedicate their dollars for scholarship and work-aid grants, contribute stocks and bonds for Annuity gifts, and remember our work of Christian education in their wills. The coming of Christ ushered in a new spirit of giving in overflowing measures of ones self and treasures to the building of a better world, the kingdom of God here on earth. Training college youth in the disciplines of knowledge and strengthening their moral character in the atmosphere of separate dormitories for unmarried men and women, continue to be satisfying and gratifying experiences on our campus at Piedmont College. The Christmas spirit of giving is absolutely essential for our witnessing in practical educational programs to our faith in the Christ-child and the Man of Galilee. We depend on our friends in business, the Churches, and alumni to contribute about one fourth of the annual budget. Another fourth is provided by the income from endowment gifts. The remaining two fourths are paid by students for tuition, room, and board. I rejoice in the fellowship of believers who remember our students and teachers at Piedmont College regularly in their prayers. We depend on the spiritual nurture and strength that you provide by your prayer partnership. Your financial expressions of partnership are inspiring and encouraging also. The families who list our needs in their hearts and in their gifts, and the churches that have adopted the college and our students who are working their way through school, are all vital to our health and welfare. I feel very certain that the graduating seniors of 1981 will all want to have a share in helping their alma mater to grow stronger, year by year. Thus I invited every Senior to pledge a monthly gift of $15 to the College, beginning with his her first paycheck after next June. I invited each one to join the distinguished company of all believers in Christian Education with monthly expressions of faith and financial support. I said, Think what this will do for your personal pride and joy as you bring your own daughters and sons to Piedmont College in due time. Every graduate is free to celebrate his or her own share of the Christmas Spirit within our Halls of Ivy. God bless you all, everyone.

They have jobs that are one big pain with unending questions that some times are hard to explain. They get little recognition for a job well done but a lot of complaints on grades to well summed. So from now on when you see teachers blue tell them they have done their best to see you thru. Maloney 33 Sociology a Mr. T.

Getman-Babcock Hall was completed in 1966 as an enlargement of Babcock Hall, originally constructed in 1940. The Hall provides dormitory living for 135 women, 3 faculty apartments, and 2 guest rooms. There is always much excitement when it comes to dorm life. The girls share in each others life and make new friendships that they will cherish forever. It is a time of growing up and learning without parents and a time to make decisions. With the love the girls have for one another they will have many fond memories to take with them as the year ends.

Lane Helping Young People To Help Themselves, So That They May In Turn Help Others Gail O ' Kelley My personal confidence in the character, ability, and teachableness of our Piedmont College students is embodied in my policy of employing our own students for secretarial services in the President ' s Office. Moreover this policy of entrusting our own students with the college ' s most confidential work is also reflected in all administrative and academic offices of the entire college. We believe enthusiastically in young people. We practice that faith daily in all the operations of Piedmont College. As a result of our mutual faith and successful experiences of working together, the employment record of Piedmont College graduates far exceeds the average. One industrialist told me that it was profitable for him to fly from New York to spend a day on our campus to interview three or five young people. Why? I asked him. His reply was crisp and precise. He said, Piedmont College teaches young people by word and deed to think clearly and to acknowledge work as honorable and worthy of one ' s best efforts. With these attitudes we can teach reliable young people of good character to be valuable and productive employees in our corporation. Likewise the young people who go into teaching are most welcome because they too have gained valuable experience through tutoring and office work with professors, coaches, librarians, or the business manager. The two junior girls on this page, Tina Cantrell and Gail O ' Kelley, are personal friends as well as industrious and very satisfactory student secretaries. I am proud of them as I am of all the young women and men who have helped me carry forward the vital services of the President ' s Office. Piedmont College will continue to be outstanding in this pattern of Helping Young People to Help Themselves. We know that these days of practical service together will also bear rich fruit for our working young people in the years ahead. Soon their shoulders will carry the full responsibilities of an important job in industry, education or in one of the professions. Page provided by Dr. Mrs. James E.
