Quite possibly, one of the biggest highlights
of Piedmont College is its fantastic music de-
partment. It is full of people who put forth their
best efforts to create incredible works of art
and bring to life things that would otherwise be
dead. Although there are several ways in which
the music department performs, the most no-
table is the College's Chorale which is used as
part of the spring semester's Great Composers
Series.

In spring semester 2006, the series called
for a performance of Josef Rheinberger's Organ
Concerto in G minor and Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart's last composition: the Requiem Mass
(K626).

The organ concerto was a magnificent fusion
of different sounds into a mesmerizing song.
However, the Requiem was the more powerful
of the two. Not only did it spark wonders be-
yond this world, but it was
a beautiful array of voice,
orchestra, and organ all in
one amazing work. From
the soft beginning all the
way through to the tragic
D minor chord at the end,
the Piedmont Chorale and
music department staff
put their very souls into
Mozart's tragic and final

Golf is a sport of grace and talent; here at Piedmont College, the team is just that. The teams <

here at our school have set up wonderful relationships with fellow teammates and their coaches. Golfer .

Ashley Rutledge says, "It's the best group I have ever played with. There is a strong sense of camaraderie .

on the women's team. We are all here to support each other." The coaches are also viewed as inspiring .

teachers. A love for the game of golf fuels our school's amazing teams. Many teammates say that they .

will never get sick of golf because it's a game you can play your entire life. They also love how the game is .

full of serene concentration, and how it gives one the feeling of solitude and peace. Unlike some sports in ,

which the coaches yell at you, in golf you can make a mistake without being scolded by a coach right on ,

the spot. It gives the athletes a sense of honor and respect. Another quality golf gives teammates is one .

of communal openness. The teams feel that they have made lasting relationships with many members ,

of their respective teams. They also believe that golf has brought them many opportunities that will help ,
them throughout their lives.

ABOVE: Jennifer Pilgrim writes about her choice
to become a business major.

Jennifer Pilgrim

When I was in high school, I served
as the State and National Vice President
of Future Business Leaders of America
(FBLA). I served more than 250,000 stu-
dents worldwide in teaching practical
business skills and how to become a busi-
ness professional. My high school adviser
was very influential during this time. She
taught me everything I know. Were it not
for this dedicated teacher, I would not be
where I am today.

Because of her, I realized that I wanted
to help students in the way that she had
helped me. I wanted to become a high
school business teacher and FBLA adviser.
So I switched my major to business. I am
currently pursuing my degree in General
Business, and I hope to receive my mas-
ter's degree in education. With my

undergraduate degree in business, and
my graduate degree in education, my op-
tions are wide open. If I decide someday
to end my career as a teacher, I will still
have other choices.

I am very proud to know that my
future is bright, and pleased with my de-
cision to become a business major. I am
pursuing my business degree because I
do not want to limit myself to one specific
area. With a degree in general business, I
will have a broader knowledge of all sub-
jects in business. This will enable me to be
a better educator. I am glad that I have
decided what I want to do with my life
so that I may work hard toward my goal.
I hope to someday influence young lives
in the same way I was influenced. I hope
that some day a student will look back on
his or her high school career and feel more
prepared to enter the workforce because
of the knowledge I was able to instill in
him or her.

"I have a poster

work.' That's the

philosophy I want

to live by."

"My parents own

business because

it offers a lot of

sure which way I

want to go."

"I'd like to go to law

ABOVE: The Florence Duomo

Florence, Italy, home to some of the world's greatest artists and
works of art. The Piedmont College Art Department sponsored a trip to
Italy this maymester. It was a spectacular place to visit Michelangelo's
David was beyond description! It was smooth, proportionate, and
just magnificent. The Pitti Palace, which houses the Boboli Gardens,
is a huge structure that was once a papal residence. It is now filled
with three massive floors of renaissance paintings, sculptures and
architecture. Our hotel was right in the middle of the city, so we could
walk to every artistic destination in Italy. We were also taken to the
tombs of many famous renaissance people at the Santa Croce church.
Some tombs we saw were of Galileo, Michelangelo, and Dante. Along
with the exquisitely designed religious structures were the countryside
of Sienna and the remains of an ancient Roman amphitheater. We
even got to take a day away from the city to visit and climb the leaning
tower of Pisa. It was an interesting experience, to say the least.

rvriu Drew Griffin is the typical soccer player. Since coming to Piedmont

sadie Biankenship Drew has won many soccer awards including GSAC player of the year
in 2006, MVP, and five or six player of the week awards. He has also
been part of many winning teams including team conference and
2003 state champion.

A junior, Drew has played for Piedmont all three years. He came here
through the recruitment of Jason Smith. Although Drew dominates
the field he also pursues a degree in business and management.
In his spare time he hones his soccer skills by playing other sports,
working out, and just being an active person. His favorite thing about
Piedmont is his friends.

Soccer is Drew's passion. He loves the competition that drives him
through a game.

Sadie Blankenship , , . . .., . . . ,

it would be a once in a lifetime thing, says Autumn. She hasn t
stopped playing since she was recruited again in sixth grade. After
playing all through high school at Habersham Central, she was ap-
proached by Coach Stephens and asked to play for the Piedmont
Lions.

Here at Piedmont, Autumn loves taking pictures, drawing, watch-
ing movies, and sleeping. She has a deep love for math but is cur-

Born in Lima, Peru, Coach Ena Weinstein had her first

major sports victory in the Juniro South American track and field

competition. She originally represented her high school, but in the same

year she went on to represent her city and then her country, winning a silver

medal. From that day on, she made it her goal to be in the Olympics. In 1984

she reached that goal by competing in the first women's marathon of the Olympic

Games in Los Angeles. In 1987, she went on to compete in the World Track and

Field Championship in Tokyo, Japan. Now she works as a personal, over-the-phone

trainer and as a massage therapist.

Ena is not all sports. In school she loved drama, and pursued acting. She

continues to satisfy her love of drama. She has recently been in a

commercial for saveamerica.org and has a role in the movie,

Grilling Bobby Hicks.

I once heard someone say in a movie, "Anything free is worth saving up
for." This is especially true for college students, specifically for ice cream!
CAB sponsored an ice cream social and free ice cream means college kids
high on sugar. There was a marvelous turnout with an excellent selection
of music and dancing. There was even a spontaneous dance-off. However,
the ice cream was the biggest hit of all. There was vanilla, chocolate, and
strawberry with toppings to mix and match any way you please. Everyone
was screaming for ice cream at this event.

Convocation is a yearly event to honor scholarship recipients and seniors. It brings the
entire student body together each year. It gives students a sense that they belong to
something larger than themselves.

I filed into my seat. The organ filled the room with powerful, peaceful melodies as I
awaited the beginning of the program. With the change of the music a processional of
faculty and seniors filed in. The faculty were dressed in their college robes that con-
veyed their sense of honor and wisdom. You could tell they had a deep sense of pride
for Piedmont. The seniors held themselves prominently and with pride. When they were
seated we were welcomed by President Cleere. There was then a call to worship. As I
read the script from the program I found myself wondering what college was going to
do for me.

The Chamber Singers sang "Benedicamus Domino" and sounded like angels. The
speaker, Cathy Henson, gave us inspiration for our future. Next, Piedmont recognized
scholarship recipients. As the service closed I remember feeling so happy because I had
chosen to go to college. For the first time I felt like I was a part of something big.

Constitution Day, September 17,
recognizes the ratification of the
U.S. Constitution in 1787. This year
the holiday fell on a weekend. The
following Monday, students and faculty
gathered on the quad to reiterate the
noble words of our forefathers who
founded this nation. The holiday was
originally called Citizenship Day, but
an amendment in 2004 changed the
name and required all publicly funded
institutions to provide education on the
history of the American Constitution on
September 17.

Maja Ostojic

Senior Maja Ostojic has been playing volleyball since she was
in second grade. She grew up in the town of Kakanj, Bosnia,
home to only twenty thousand people. Maja's school is where she
first fell in love with the sport, and she played from then on. She
loved volleyball so much that when she came to Piedmont College
she joined Piedmont's team and continues to play the game
she loves. Maja is majoring in Criminal Justice and is involved
in the Psychology Club. Her favorite things about the school are
its friendly atmosphere and small class sizes. But school is not
the only thing she enjoys. She has several hobbies that include
camping and hiking.

After expecting to lose most of the rounds at
Vanderbilt University, my partner (Luke Story)
and I pulled off, what we considered, a miracle.
We managed to defeat Emory University twice
and Samford University once. Three wins out
of six created our lasting glory and earned us a
place in the quarter finals.

Having a losing season my freshman year with
a record of 2-16 killed my confidence level, but I
vowed to become Co-President of the team. My
partner and I, along with the team, have made
this a winning season. Winning rounds is not our
sole purpose; it's only a bonus. The true purpose
of debate in my eyes is to learn from my oppo-
nents and teach them a thing or two.

-Ruben Mendez
Co-President of the Debate Team

From rolling hills to city lights, the Debate
Team's trip to Nashville, Tenn. and Vanderbilt
University was an experience to be remembered.
My week spent with intellectuals arguing some
topics of today is something I will never forget.
The trip truly brought the debate class together
into a debate team. The team won its first de-
bate trophy of the Fall '06 semester and added it
to the President's trophy cabinet.

This was all thanks to Dr. Janice Moss' undying
dedication to the debate program here at Pied-
mont College. Along with the help of her assis-
tant coach, Ryan Baker, Dr. Moss is truly building
an all-star team of debaters and I am thankful to
have been a part of the team this semester.

By Jon Kostulakos

I did not always want to be a teacher. When I was a junior
in high school I was asked to join The Future Teachers of America.
When I joined the club, I had my first field experience of observing
a first grade class at the elementary school I attended. While I
was observing this class, the teacher asked me if I would like to
help teach part of a lesson. This was for social studies and was
focusing on the armed services. In the class there were three boys
and one girl who came from single family homes where the father
was not part of their lives. These students always acted out of
control, bullied other students, and performed badly academically,
according to the teacher. The lesson started with the teacher
introducing the subject, and these four students were disturbing
the rest of the class. After the teacher was done with her segment
of the lesson, I was asked to introduce the activity to the class.
When I got up in front of that class those four students focused
on what I was saying and demonstrating. The teacher looked at
me in total shock when those students stopped being disruptive
and started paying attention. While the students were conducting
the activity, I was walking around and one of the four students
raised his hand. I went up to this student and he told me that he
wanted to be just like me when he grew up. From that point on, I
know that I wanted to be a teacher for the rest of my life. Knowing
that children need a role-model or a fatherly figure inspired me
to become a teacher. A year ago when I was visiting that school,
the teacher caught up with me and told me that the four students
who normally disrupted her class became honor roll students and
made a complete 180 degree change. Finding out about those
students just made my choice more clear in that I am someone
who children look up to for guidance and modeling.

Chris Leonerdo is a freshman tennis player here at Piedmont College. Currently 18, Chris
started playing tennis around the age of 11. Formally Chris was involved in lots of sports but
decided "tennis was the one." He got into it easy and learned the basics quicker than usual.
Chris it seems was naturally attuned to the sport. His brother and sisters also play tennis. He
enjoyed all the nice people he met while involved in tennis and enjoyed the motivation offered
by his coaches and fellow players. Chris is very good at the game now. He feels that speed,
agility and a good mental state is 'the way to play." Chris is not thinking of making a career in
tennis however. Currently he has an undecided major, but feels he wants to become a physical
therapist and plans to transfer to UGA. He doesn't plan on playing tennis at UGA, although one
can be certain that tennis will always be a major part of his life.

Campuses make giant leaps

The 2006-07 school year has
been a time of great change for
Piedmont's 109-year-old Demorest
campus and for our 12-year-old
Athens campus. This year, both
campuses are undergoing major
transformations as we add a new
Center for Performing Arts and
Communications in Demorest and
dramatically expand the PC-Athens
campus.

In Demorest, the Center

for Performing Arts and

Communications will impact not

just Piedmont College but the

entire northeast Georgia area.

With a modern 350-seat theater,

the Center will provide a venue for the performing arts unmatched in the region, and

it will allow the college to showcase performances by our talented theatre and music

students.

The facilities for mass communications programs will be equally state-of-the-art. With
studios for television and radio production, as well as computer labs for print and online
media production, Piedmont students will be prepared for whatever the future holds as
these forms of communication merge.

In Athens, it is difficult to understate what the expansion of the campus will mean to your
college. For the first time since opening a campus in Athens, we will have the facilities
to meet the growing demand for Piedmont's "small-college" classes. We also will be able
to offer programs for undergraduate students from their freshman to senior years and
expanded graduate programs as well.

Whichever campus you attend, I hope you enjoy using the new buildings. And for you
new graduates, I trust you will come back to enjoy them for many years to come in your
new role as Piedmont College alumni.

This year Piedmont students were
given the opportunity to include
their favorite picture of themselves
in this year's Yonahian. The following
pages consist of real students doing
real things in their lives. Athletes,
musicians, cowgirls, and much more
can be found right here. Without us
there is no Piedmont.
