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 ABOVE: Dr. Wallace Hinson masterpiece.

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. y\. y\.

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. School of Business 27 Andrew Cartwright Senior "I'm a business major because I'm interested in the restaurant and golf industry. Because I play golf at Piedmont, I'd like to incorporate it into my business life." Ashley Armour Junior "I really like studying marketing with professor Wetherbee. I'm interested in the different things companies do to get others to buy products." "I have a poster in my room that says, 'A good leader knows how to delegate and watch others do the work.' That's the philosophy I want to live by." "My parents own a company so I'm interested in business. I like business because it offers a lot of options and I'm not sure which way I want to go." "I'd like to go to law school and being a business major puts me in a good position to know a lot more about the world and how it works."

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. 34 June ABOVE L-R: Kristi Ivester, Mary Beth Whitecotton, Virginia Palmour, Kris Chesterman, Adam Perillo ABOVE: Sienna Italy 35 WW \ ft f rrl rffl f f I rr Denmark, Belgium, and Sweden RIGHT L-R: top: Trey Wood, Seth Ash, Joe Maxey 2nd row: Jessica Clark, Kat Chafin, Fletcher Poland, Mike Simonovich 3rd row: Holly Bishoff, Katie Smith, Dr. William Piper 4th row: Monica M.

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.

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.

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. -Matt Jackson Freshman Debater 70 October SL UUHLS LEFT: Monica Stephens, Assistant Director of Undergraduate Admissions You belong here ABOVE: Anthony Cox, Coordinator of Graduate ABOVE: Jennifer Pilgrim works as a student aid in Admissions Admissions Debate Admissions 71 Jl TDeMr-ttnc/vt Keeping Piedmont connected RIGHT: Dr. Heydari, Director of Technology /72 October '(HHrv LJi Rhythm and Reels: A night of Hollywood hits LEFT: Chris Bryan and Rachel Holland BELOW L-R: Chris Bryan and Joy Parham, Alan Hurst and Lisa Weaver, Brandon Buckner and Rachel Holland, Randall Barnes and Kathryn Holland liWT^ K&iA j \ <1 4 i ABOVE: Brandon Buckner and Lisa Weaver RIGHT: Kathryn Holland and Randall Barnes > IT Department Ballroom Dancing 73 rr (tic fractal A frightfully good time presented by Kappa Pi BELOW: Dillon Nelson and Rachel Hamilton want tc suck your blood ABOVE: Jamey Wyman-Blackburn is found at the scene ABOVE: Aaron Land, Kyle Jones, and Jeff Akana wait to get inti the ball 74 October Halloween Ball 75 Where in the world is Cantabile?

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.

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.

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. W. Ray Cleere 126 People JAMES F.
