Qlass Song

To thee, our dear old Alma Mater, we pledge our loyalty,
And thee we'll ever love and honor through all eternity.
The class of twenty-seven hails thee, our Piedmont dear,
And we will never, never fail thee throughout the coming
years.

CHORUS

Then we will always sing your praise so it rings throughout

the land
And ever high our voices raise to Piedmont of Habersham.

We love the country where you're founded; we love the clear
blue sky;

The fellowship which you harbor, O, may it never die.

Strong as the mountains which surround thee, noble as tin-
pine,

On and on to fame and glory may you ever climb.

Qlass History

E.\\ HER TIME has turned hack in his flight to give us a glimpse of the
past. What is thi> we see? Such a hustling and bustling a> forty-five
Freshmen bid farewell to their parents and homes! With hopeful hearts
and smiling faces, din nied bj a tear now and then, they are about to set sail on a
loiiL r voyage that voyage which leads to the Kingdom of Greater Wisdom. Some
come from Kansas. Alabama, Florida am! the Carolinas, while the majorit) of the
rrew hail from our own home state.

Indeed, they displaj wisdt m in their selection ol a route. lor thev decide to

travel hv waj of Piedmont Surelj there could he no better route tor such a voyage.

So man) have followed this course and have SUCCessfullj reached their goal.

Prof, and Mis. Percj head the crew, and it we look into the future we see them
standing bj the crew through thick and thin until the goal is reached. With Hugh
Daniels as captain, the) are prepared tor the roughest of seas. The Juniors, sailing
not tar ahead, learn that the Freshman crew is about to undergo an attack of "mal
de mer" at the outset, and thev quickl) prevent r h i - b) an enjoyable picnic. Now the
Freshmen become more confident that their voyage is to he a pleasant one. Their
fister i iew shuws \erv clearl) that thev are genuine hv the tact that thev succeed
in wresting the Standard of Green and Gold from the Seniors before the Christmas
party. Although the good ship is tossed on troubled seas now and then and en-
counters a tew hostile ^ales such as the Sophomores, everyone on hoard has enjoyed
the voyage thus tar, when the ship anchors for the first time. The crew <oi)sists of

sturdv sailors, among whom strong friendships have formed.

Much to our sorrow a number o) the crew do not appear when the ship sets

-ail on its second expedition this time bearing Sophomores. Bj now the crew has
become accustomed to sailing and there is veiv little evidence ot seasickness. Thanks-
giving comes with its feast and gaiety and the compan) is represented at the banquet
in Truman Pierce, who joins them at the beginning ot their second voyage. The
most interesting feature ot the Christmas part) this year is the prelude to the Fi

men's stunt as it is ^iven hv Ruth Callahan and Norman Bailey, captain, much to
the chagrin ot the Juniors. Again the gistei ucu shows its colors, foi trv as thev
will, the Juniors can not find the Standard. In main wavs this pan ot the voyage
i. veiv enjoyable. To he sure, there is main a thrill in the St. I'atiick's part) .liven

in Prof, and Mis. Percy, and it is no small pleasure to steal out ot the dormitories

at three o'clock in the morning while I'lcshmen and Juniois sleep am 1 grope IWI)

to Miss Spencer's studio to assist the Seniors in then Class l>.i\ practice. Swutlv

the ship appn aches a harhor and the i lew lands toi a shoit tune.

I In- next lime we see the sailors, whom we have observed toi two years, sit
sail as Joll) Juniois. with Kathleen Uum.iii as then captain. \ glance backward

ami we see a ship following the same line thev aie pursuing. Behold I it is a iiew ot

Freshmen setting out on a voyage to the same Kingdom of Wisdom which is their
goal. The Junior crew extends to them a helping hand, and much the same as
they have been piloted over the troubled seas, they endeavor to smooth the rough
waters in the way of the Freshmen. By this time the Junior crew has decreased to
almost one-third of the number that set sail for the first log of the voyage. This
time the search for the cherished Standard is left with them. The search is a
thorough one and even though they do not succeed in finding it, the bitterness of
its being presented to them is removed by the excitement of the chase. At the
Christmas party, the company on the ship is suddenly transported to Scandinavia
where Christmas is celebrated. After this diversion the voyage is continued.

After another short period of rest we see the same ship steaming away from a
wharf in sight of the harbor which is the goal. Since the last log of the voyage the
sailors have undergone a miraculous change. This time they are Seniors, with
Margaret Moore as captain. Still they help and encourage their sister crew, which
is now a crew of Sophomores. More of the number have discontinued the voyage
and this time the good ship bears a small crew. Smoothly they sail until Thanks-
giving Day a day that must be mentioned, for it will ever be remembered as a
perfect day in the history of Piedmont because of her double victory over her old
rival. After this day the ship seems to travel with renewed vigor and speed and
soon Christmas is reached. Although the Juniors are diligent in their search, the
traditional Standard remains in the hands of the crafty Seniors. After Christmas
we see our seamen as they sail over the sea of Examinations. At this point they
take on board a number of new classmates. Onward together they sail, a goodly
number of Seniors.

Alas! too soon the voyage ends. Our sailors approach Graduation Day with
an ache in their hearts mingled \\ ith many a happy thought as they look backward
over their experiences since they set sail in the fall of '23. Many have joined them
since they set sail ; some have deserted them along the way ; but to all who have
completed the voyage the ideals of Piedmont will ever be honored and cherished.

During the football season Coach Forester was greatlj handicapped bj lack of
backfield material. For this reason he was compelled to shift some of the former
linesmen into the backfield. Difficult as this task would seem, Coach Forester suc-
ceeded in turning out a low hitting, last charging machine.

The I. urn Quintet which represented Piedmont this year had a trerj successful
season and it is with no little pride that we look back upon it. The Lions lost onh
three games <ut ot the entire schedule. Coach Forester is to be congratulated upon
his unceasing and successful efforts in producing a winning team. The outstanding

girls' G Easket- c Ball

The Lionesses have successfully upheld the reputation which was gained last
year, since up to date they have lost only one game out of twelve played, and that,
when playing against one of the strongest teams in the South.

Only three of last year's letter men returned for the season, but Coach Forester
found an abundance of new material with which to make a fast team. Their splendid
team work was certainly a credit to the girls and to their training.

The record for the season, which shows that the girls have scored 285 points
and their opponents 86, is as follows:

year to teach men how to play the game of life for others and for themselves in a
spiritual, physical, social and mental way. It is one of the most effective organiza-
tions on the campus for the promotion of altruism and morality. It offers training

The Glee Club is one of the most active organizations on the campus. It has
some wonderful work to its credit. This is proved by the fact that college credit
is now being given for it. The club leads and directs all the music for the College
Vesper Services held on Sundays and renders special musical programs on Armistice
Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and Commencement. Under the very able
direction of Miss Lucile Scarbrough and with the assistance of soloists, the Pied-
mont male quartet and the semi-chorus, the club has been able to furnish some
very delightful entertainments. All the work of the club shows great effort and
excellent finish. There are now about fifty members and all take an active part in
the work of the club. Enough praise can not be given the members for the great
work of the club, both in its educational line and in its entertainment. The club
owes much of its success to its excellent direction and management.

oi God. It seeks to deepen the spiritual side of student life and affords opportunity

Deeply graven in the hearts of all the members of the Theta Zeta Phi Society
is the knowledge that "He who would achieve success must look for the best in others
and must give the best he has" and the influence of this on their daily living and
their worthy devotion to the society form its distinguishing characteristics. The
spirit of the society is shown in its weekly programs, the central purpose of which is
the extension of knowledge in the fields of art, literature and music, particularly
through an exhaustive study of opera and the development of versatile young women.
The foremost example of such is "The Pageant of the Seasons," written and pre-
sented by the members as their Anniversary Program. With the courage born of
contentment and faith every Theta Zeta Phi is "pushing onward, upward, till
the goal is won."

Organized by the pioneers of the college, the J. S. Green Society has been an
outstanding organization on the campus since 1897. It has grown and widened its
field of activity together with the development of Piedmont College, of which it is an
essential part. In their weekly meetings not only do the members learn to express
themselves freely and clearly, but there is also ample opportunity for the develop-
ment of the arts, the Piedmont quartette having been composed wholly of J. S.
Green's for five years. As a society they strive upward and forward to attain the
sentiment expressed in their motto, "Excelsior." The Twenty-ninth Anniversary
Program, given December 4, 192b, was in two parts: The first, a sketch written
by a former J. S. Green, Prof. Phillips, head of the English Department; the second,
a minstrel, with Mr. Kulling, president of the society, as interlocutor. An added
feature of this program was the presentation of Miss Rosalyn Asbury as sponsor, the
first on the campus to be thus honored. The work of the society this year has been a
marked success and in years to come the J. S. Green Society will grow in numbers
and in influence as the new members catch the spirit of the organization and, having
caught it, remain true to its standards and ideals.

The Gamma Chi Society is reaching its high tide in the stimulation of warm
fellowship and the encouragement of original genius. She endeavors to give programs
of a varied nature and those that give entertainment to the lovers of the aesthetic
life. She seeks to discover unrecognized talent and to give it free play in the society.
This year the weekly programs have been of unusual interest. The society occasion-
ally presents faction programs to promote group activity and to give each member a
chance to participate at the meetings. The open meeting celebrating the Fifth
Anniversary of the society had as its special feature a beautiful Japanese Operetta,
"Eeny-Meeny-Miney-Mo." The moonlight scenes, the Japanese costumes and the
sweet music were entrancing, creating a charming atmosphere of that far away
country, Old Japan. The two main characters were Esther Johnson, acting the part
of Virginia, the favorite Senior, and Gertrude Crane, taking the part of Bob of
Old Japan. The influence of the society will increase as the members go out into
the world to spread the ideals of the Gamma Chi Society.

The Protropian Society completes this year the twenty-ninth year of its exist-
ence. Organized by the pioneers of Piedmont College, faith has been kept by the
succeeding generations. Its ideals are embodied in the motto, "Knowledge is Power."
These ideals are of service, not for self, but for others. Talent development is in-
tended to further the society in the striving to render service to Piedmont College,
and so to the world. Character development is also stressed as a part of the work of
the society. The programs given in the weekly meetings are fundamentally intel-
lectual, involving discourses on philosophy, religion, politics, art, literature and science.
A Shakespearean travesty, "Re-taming of the Shrew," was presented as the Anniversary
Program. The thirtieth year is being faced with the same vigor which characterized
those who first saw the vision of a greater Piedmont and a greater Protropian Society.
