The Legend of Nacoochee and Yonak In the long, long ago, when only the Red men climbed the Blue mountains and hunted deer and bear in the forests, there lived a mighty chieftain Yonah the Great Bear. Yonah loved his little daughter Nacoochee Evening Star and planned to make for her a great marriage with some mighty chief- tain of his tribe. But Nacoochee 's heart was willful, and would not be guided by her stern father, for she loved Sautee, the young chief of a hostile people, and she had promised to be his squaw. When Yonah found that Nacoochee had given her heart to Sautee, his anger was very great. And he swore that Sautee should pay the price of her disobedience. But Nacoochee went to Sautee and together the lovers fled from the angry father. They hid in the forests of the Great Bear's mountain. Yonah and his braves found them there, and Yonah ordered that they be carried to the top of the mountain. From there could be seen pile on pile the Blue mountains, far, far beyond the lands of Yonah into the forests of Sautee 's tribe. The cruel father com- manded that Sautee be bound hand and foot with strong hickory withes, and thrown over the precipice of the mountain ; and that Nacoochee stand and see the fall that she might learn what it meant to disobey a father's will. As the braves swung the helpless body of Sautee over the steep side of Mount Yonah, Nacoochee sprang forward and threw her arms around her lover and together they fell down, clown, down to the valley below. Too late old Yonah grieved for the beautiful Evening Star. The crushed bodies of Nacoochee and Sautee were buried under a green mound in the valley. And the old man went away with his fathers. The Red men have been long gone from the Blue Mountains, but old Yonah watches over the mound of the two lovers, and the evening star shines brightly over the valley where Nacoochee and Sautee lie sleeping.

Graduate of Toccoa High School ''She doth little kindness, which most leave undone or despise." Page Eighteen Member of Y. W. C. A. (2, 3 and 4) ; Drama League (2) ; W. P. K. Pres. (3) ; Honorary member of Protropian Society (2, 3 and 4) ; Class Treasurer (3) ; Class Pres. (4) ; Treas. Yonahian (3) ; Secretary Students' Ass'n (4). Daisy has proven in her four years at Piedmont that the maxim, "Much study is a weariness of the flesh,'' is not true. The A's that she has made go to prove that residts have been accomplished by her work. Does she ever get blue ? Well, we do not know if she does. She always greets you with a joke and a smile. Does she ever get mad? Only when the boys won't give up the tennis court after playing all day. Such conduct Miss Hayes insists, only increases her distaste for the masculine sex. Daisy has set a standard at Piedmont that no other girl in the class of '21 can claim : Through her four years she has not given a single gentleman the honor of her esteemed company. Even in her senior year she has heartlessly refused the earnest pleadings of "Justus." While pursuing her studies in the early morning hours she has been heard to break forth upon the following strain : "I would not marry a man that's rich, For he would get drunk and fall in the ditch. I would not marry a man that's poor, For he would beg from door to door. So I'll not marry at all. Daisy is a friend in need and indeed. In spite of her protests the boys all like her. She has a great love for mathematics and science, which her B. S. de- gree proves. For the past four years she has been a frequent sojourner to the chemistry lab. We imagine her old haunt will be lonesome for the next year. Daisy has made many friends among both faculty and students. We all love her for her sincerity, brilliancy and good disposition. As Daisy is very much interested in education for the masses, we predict that her work will be that of supervision of the schools in her own state. Page Nineteen Luke Crenshaw Ray, A.

M. C. A. (4) ; Member J. S. Green Literary Society (4) ; 2\vkpatns 'EITEP (4). When all the nine Senior girls heard that they were to have a new senior boy this year, they immediately set their caps for him, but all in vain ! Luke didn't take any stock in the saying, "Gee! Whiz! I'm glad I'm free; no wed- ding bells for me!" for he has the prettiest little wife you ever did see. Mr. Ray is an all-round athlete. In football, how he did shine, and as Coach of the girls' basketball team be lias done wonders. Whatever he starts he does right. If you want to see some pretty tackling you just ought to see Luke C. in a football game. He has proven his ability not only as an athlete and a student, but as an actor. Those who witnessed the Senior stunt one night can swear to this. In Bible he can discuss anything from Genesis to Revelation and back again. He can almost (hardly tho) equal Sir Thomas in his arguments. When some of us heard that Mr. Ray was studying for the mini- stry we thought he had "missed his calling" for he was jolly and pleasant. It doesn't take the old time long faced preachers to appeal to mankind however, and we are glad that Mr. Ray is entering into this great work with such a pleasant and optimistic outlook on life. We wish you all success, for we know that, vou are everv inch a man. Page Twenty-one Gerardine Muriel, A. B Jacksonville, Fla Graduate of Duval] High School.

Gerry comes to us from Rollins College. Perhaps she felt that in the moun- tains of North Georgia we needed a headlight. So with her shining tresses serv- ing as such, she has kept us from falling over the steep precipices and stony places. Enthusiasm? Yes! Gerry is always enthusiastic whether it be a Senior reception or an education essay. As a business woman she showed her ability when Editor of the Yonahian. She distinguishes herself by her fondness for long chapel and vesper talks, long prayers, long class periods, studying and going to the infirmary. Does she talk? I'll say she does. She can do "everything," her blue eyes being included in "everything." We shall always remember Gerardine by her favorite expression, "Father is English," because this is the reason she gives for all of her characteristics, whether it be fondness for beans with sauce or fondness for reading classical literature. It has always been a mystery to us how Gerry could 'get by,' without study- ing, especially in such courses as Physics, under Prof. Roberts. She has been told by one of the profs that she has the power which few of us have, that of getting by a single reading an amount of knowledge equal to that which the average person gets upon faithful and prolonged study. Her keen interest in all literary activities is manifested by the part she takes in them. We cannot think of Gerry ever being under any higher author- ity than her own self. She has a wonderful gift as leader. We expect to find her some day as the manager of some large concern, probably, president of a girls' college. Page Twenty-three Newton Owen Sappington, A.

Owen, the handsome young man of the class, is always kind, ever thought- ful of the ladies, wears a smile characteristic of himself alone. Of all his courses of study, Astronomy is the chief one. He has become so accustomed to star gazing that he frequently finds himself in the mud on the way to class. Perhaps he sees a "Newborne" star. He not only gazes into the heavens but also at the busy crowds that throng the city. He is constantly accused of this while he sits by the window in English IV. Perhaps he'll be a treat writer of the people, a writer second only to Shakespeare. Owen can do almost anything you call on him to do whether it be reading French or helping Prof. Burrage boost Emory University. He constantly makes himself appear very interested in his classes by telling the Profs., that he doesn't understand certain fine points. We understand, however, that Owen loves to evade the lesson. Owen has played a great part in College Athletics having won the letter. He is interested in every College activity and has done much to make the J. S. Green an excellent organization. As a worker in Y. M. C. A. he has done much. We trust that in your life work, good fortune may be yours to enjoy.

Yonah just at twilight. After pitching camp we built a large eampfire and gathered around it to rest. As everyone was tired, quiet prevailed. My head dropped forward, my thoughts became jum- bled, and I felt myself gently borne upward by fairy hands, and at length arrived in the land of the "future." J was in the heart of a beautiful, flourishing city, and as I was crossing the street I ran into a gentleman. As he turned to make apologies, I recog- nized my old classmate, William Ensminger who, grasping my hand, exclaimed, "Why. Miss Asbury, I'm so glad to see you, and my search will end here I hope, for I have heard that you are an excellent Latin teacher, and as Miss Marjorie Black, our former teacher, left us quite suddenly last Tuesday, to teach a class of one for life, namely, Mr. William Brown, who, as I'm sure you have heard, is the champion football player of Georgia. I wonder if you will fill this vacancy?" I gladly consented as I had lost my position two months previously on account of illness. I started home, and as I entered my apartment the telephone rang. It was Claude Brown, a properous young banker of the city, who wished me to go to the theatre. I gladly consented. When we arrived and the play began, great was our surprise to recognize in the famous dancer, our old classmate, Florette Roberts. We secured an interview after the performance, and learned that on her last visit to Paris, she had seen and talked with Ruth Stovall, who was a famous artist, and her visitor, Louise Chunn, who was buying her trousseau. While on the visit Ruth and Louise had spent several weeks during the summer at the seashore where they had met Iva Carey and her husband, who were living in a beautiful little cottage, and were very happy. Iva said that she had received a letter from Mae Patterson, who was a mis- sionary in China and was very happy in her work. I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder, and awoke disappointed, to find it all a dream. Page Sixty-five Page Sixty-six Name Favorite siii/iini Pastime A inbit ion Leman Anderson .Goll-ey .

This year a complete course has been inaugurated, requiring from four to six years, with B. M. degree awarded. Miss S. P. Spencer, of Meridin, Conn., is director and has been with the college for six years. The department carries full courses of Voice, Piano, Violin and Theory. Miss Isabel Bunkley, of Savannah, Ga., has charge of the Violin depart- ment. Miss Bunkley is a Brenau devotee, being a pupil of Prof. Michaelis. MUSICAL ACTIVITIES Concerts are given by the students during the year, including: Students' ensemble recitals, voice or piano, and concerts by the Glee Club. The Glee Club furnishes music at Vesper Service on Sunday, and also renders concerts during the year. The work of the Glee Club includes selections from oratorio and opera ; also special attention is given the study of folk song. Page Seventy The Expression Department The expression department of Piedmont College is under the direction of Prof. Addie Green Bass. She has long been with Piedmont and she has given many long hours of faithful service to her. The work of the department has been shown to be of the highest type, by the numerous recitals that have been given by special students of the depart- ment. After witnessing many of the numerous recitals and plays given by the stu- dents of this department, many have expressed the idea that they were rendered in such manner that one would think they were given by professionals. Miss Bass also has charge of the Drama League of Piedmont College and throughout the past few years this organization has done a great work in Piedmont. This year of '20-'21 has proven that it held many "dramatic possibilities" from the point of view of the college stage. Early in the autumn the League presented "The Loving Cup" at a regular meeting. Then followed intensive study of "Rose of Plymouth Town," which was given March 18th. The Com- mencement play is "The First Lady of the Land." The members showed even more than usual interest in the work of the Drama League, and worked faithfully on most of the assignments. Those who took part in the public presentation of the plays did the best that they could with the parts assigned them. Many of the members have done remarkable work. The idea of the Drama League in Piedmont involves training the individual members in the skillful and effective presentation of various roles, practice in different types of dramatic action, and practical knowledge of the work of stag- ing a play. We consider that this year's success is very largely due to the very capable direction of Miss Bass, Professor of Expression, to whom we wish to express our gratitude. Piedmont now gives a degree in expression. Page Se-venty-otfe Home Economics The Home Economics Department is under the direction of Miss Laura A. Waite, Miss Mattie Rampley, assistant in Domestic Science, and Miss Mary Steincipher, assistant in Domestic Art. The department now caries full courses leading to the B. S. H. E. degree. Some of the outstanding features of this department are Home Economics Weeek, class banquets, and the annual exhibition at commencement time. Dur- ing Home Economics Week the department is "at home" to its friends, the students, and faculty. The class banquets are occasions of high social enjoy- ment to every college student. The exhibit ion of both science and art products at the end of the year shows the ability and progress of the students. These exhibitions are especially interesting from the fact that they are so carefully planned and artistically arranged. The basket exhibition is one of great interest. The styles are so varied and some of the materials used are unusual. The honey-suckle vine and the wild maiden hair fern are both used, which make very beautiful baskets. The long leaf pine needles are also used quite successfully. We glory in our department for the special reason that it is effecting the great Avork of training our girls to be scientific home makers and is really helping them to realize that the "mission of the ideal woman is to make the whole world homelike."

GREEX It has been and is the policy of our society to extend a hearty welcome to every new-coiner at Piedmont, who is interested in self-development. Our so- ciety trains every member in the true art of self-expression. Since the time of its organization in 18!)7 it has been an ever-living inspiration in the minds of both old and new members. Our programs consist of debates on topics of national interest, also declama- tions, orations, and musical recitations. We have adopted a new policy this rear of holding a joint meeting with the Protropian Society every fourth week. This custom has proven to be extremely beneficial to both societies. We have also enjoyed much pleasure as well as gained knowledge from the policy of meeting with our honorary members every fourth week. Our society now has enrolled about one hundred active and honorary members. The following is the Twenty-second Anniversary program of our society rendered on November 19th, 1920.

Organ- ized twenty-two years ago, it has made a history of which every memher is proud. Under the splendid leadership this year of Hiram Evans and David Knight the society has grown as never hefore in its history. It now has over one hundred memhers, of which seventy are active and thirty-five are honorary. The introduction of new methods and the inter-society meetings with the J. S. Green have had wonderful results in building up the society. The purpose of the society has always been to train its members to become useful and influential citizens men of noble ideals, high intellectual percep- tions, and initiative leaders. The weekly programs consisting of debates, ora- tions, and declamations give every member an opportunity for self-expression in public. Subjects of national interest are discussed ; and both sides of every question brought before them, thereby broadening their minds, increasing their knowledge, and training them to think and argue in public. A pure, whole- some and inspiring spirit permeates every meeting and stimulates an ambition of service for their fellowman.

The Legal Club has attained a place of pre-eminence through its activity in promoting justice, law and order throughout the entire community. We venture the confident assertion that no other local tribunal possesses the moral courage to place the most High Dean of Piedmont College on trial. Yet the Legal Club succeeded in doing this, and would have found him guilty of illegal threats against one Marvin Peek had not the majority of the jiiry decided otherwise. Another epoch-making achievement of this organization is the apprehen- sion and trial of a famous boot-legger, one "Sith Varning. " This offender had long and skillfully evaded all other local guardians of the law, but the Legal Club through its skillful work, entangled him in a network of evidence from which he could not escape. Due to the fact that the "verdict was hung, " as the chairman of the jury said, Sarah Anne and Hiram must continue to kick against each other in the matrimonial harness indefinitely, although on the testimony of reliable wit- nesses, Sarah Anne was shown to be a notorious flirt, a spendthrift and a man- hater, while Hiram is a drunkard, a gambler, and a wife-beater of the deepest dye. This is all very sad, but such is life. The trials which have been mentioned together with others equally seri- ous in nature, serve to add variety and amusement to college life, while they give the members of the club an opportunity to sharpen their wits in prepara- tion for their future profession.

W. C. A. "I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10. Our hearts, here in our little student Y. W., go out to the girls of other lands. We tried to show this in our contributions to the mission fund. We hope that another year we can even do better. We are naturally proud of our Y. W. C. A. for it has done so much for our student body. Both the sub-Freshmen and College girls enter into the work with their whole hearts. Enthusiasm runs high in getting up stunt programs for the Blue Ridge fund. Last year we only sent four delegates; but hope to double the number this year. There is not much social service work here to be done; but all of the girls enjoy the play hour with the children, to say nothing of our "White" Christ- mas gifts. The new cabinet members are planning the ' ; Best year yet' for our Y. W. next year and we're sure that all of the girls are behind them.
