History oj a Garden of Flowers

N the fall of 1924 there was planted at Piedmont College a garden
of seventy-one varieties of beautiful flowers. And the name of this
garden was "Freshmen." There was one flower which was taller
and straighter than the others. This was Harold Jones and he was
chosen to be the leader of the other flowers.

At first these tiny seeds and bulbs were very tender, not being accustomed
to those hurricanes foolishly peculiar to great places of learning, viz., the
Sophomores. But the flowers were sending their roots deeper into the earth
and were becoming stronger so that they changed the direction of the typhoons
toward the spring in the depths of which their monstrous majesties would soon
have been lost had there not been mercy in the hearts of the flowering Freshmen.

Thus in fighting their enemies and with the help of the rain and sun com-
monly called the "Faculty," the Freshmen grew and waxed strong until their
perfume was inhaled to the farthest corner of the campus.

On the occasion of the Christmas party the Freshmen were filled with
exceeding great joy when they looked into the faces of the Sophomores
anxious because of the non-appearance of the banner which was in the possession
of the Seniors. Since all flowers like to nod and sway to the breezes the Fresh-
men contributed to the stunts of the evening by an old-fashioned square dance.

In their second year when the flowers had grown in wisdom and were
called "Sophomores," the whole garden was beset with pests which came in
swarms. These pests were called "Freshmen Insects." They claimed to have
taken the place of the Freshmen flowers of the preceding year, but the gods pity
such creatures who pretend to possess the attributes of flowers when they are
only droves of insects bent on seeking the hearts of lily-white blossoms for
their prey.

The Sophomores dramatized one of Dickens' Christmas stories for the
annual party because flowers are especially associated with Christmas time.

And the Sophomores thrived under their leader, James Swiney, whom the
wind could not bend nor the storms destroy and whom they were ready to
follow even unto death.

Ever will there be in the hearts of the Sophomores the memory of those
two who were taken by death from their midst, Ralph Payne and Martha
Minter. Only the purest die young and God wanted these two in the freshness
of their youth to adorn His heavenly palaces.

Page Thirty-seven

In the third year of their reign at Piedmont, under their leader, "Cap"
James, were the flowers who had now become Juniors beset with serious
dangers for just down the road were herds of cattle called "Seniors" who were
ready to pounce upon them and to devour them.

Many times when the Juniors were looking for the banner were these
horned beings sore afraid lest they should find it. But the Juniors did not fear
for they knew the Seniors would have to give them the banner on the night
of the Christmas party.

In order to announce Class Day these Seniors had the audacity to hide
themselves in black robes and to come bellowing the announcement in the
dining room where the Juniors were eating their evening meal of sunset and dew.

The happiest yet possibly the saddest year in the history of the garden is
the last, when the plants were grown to maturity and are ready to be plucked by
the hand of the world.

During the last two years flowers from other fields had been transplanted
into the garden of Piedmont. One of these, "Rip" Van Winkle, became leader
of the garden in its Senior year.

Always the Seniors were guarded by the Owl upon the face of the banner
until they presented it to the Junior class, and even then its spirit follows them
wherever they may go.

And after four years of careful tending of the garden by their faithful and
able gardeners, Professors W. B. Phillips and Laura A. Waite, the flowers are
ready to go forward and to be planted in the furthermost corners of the world.

"We came here as loyal Freshmen
And as Seniors will depart
But the love of dear old Piedmont
Will be always in our hearts."

A. A. S., '28.

The Protropian Literary Society is not only one of the oldest
organizations on the campus, but it is one of the most influen-
tial. It aims to be ever a source of inspiration to Piedmont as
a whole as it is to its own members. In its weekly meetings it
endeavors to make its members search for the truth in all lines
of discussion. These meetings are entertaining, also conducive
to the development of the "four square" man.

In celebrating its thirtieth anniversary the society had as its
guest and speaker Dr. W. H. Houghton, of Baptist Tabernacle
in Atlanta. Dr. Houghton used as his lecture. "The Way In."
The motto, "Knowledge is Power," is parallel with "The Way
In." Indeed, knowledge and wisdom lead to that more noble
life. The society is planning a definite program to invite
scholars as guests.

The society, feeling the influence of the girls of the campus
in its development, presented at its anniversary program its first
sponsor, Miss Olis Addison. The Protropian Society strives to
set a pace for the "Greater Piedmont."

Carpe Diem! With what music does that sentence fill the
ears of every Gamma Chi member! Indeed, since the society
came into existence in 1922 this motto has constantly been in
the minds of its members, for they take every opportunity to
"Seize the Day."

In the fall of 1927 the Gamma Chi Society gave its Sixth
Anniversary Program. "Hallowe'en on the Old Plantation,"
written by Prof. W. B. Phillips and directed by the author with
the assistance of Miss Nell G. Britt. The scenes were laid on a
large southern plantation, which plantation still retained the
characteristics of the old slavery days.

"With pride of that dear name we bear Gamma Chi! Glori-
ous name! It makes us gladly do and dare where'er 'tis thought,
whene'er 'tis heard."

The J. S. Green Society has just passed its thirtieth year.
It is old enough to include among its present members a son of
one of the men who drew up its charter in 1897. We like to
feel that the society has rendered thirty years of service to
Piedmont, and it is interesting to note how the fundamental
ideas of the founders have been preserved amid much inevitable
change.

If the men of 1897 came back today and they would be
very welcome they would find that the J. S. Green Society has
become much more than a debating society. While the interest
in debating has not been lost, the society has widened its scope
to include the literary and social interests of its members. As an
evidence of this, the society presented for its thirtieth anniversary
program a clever dramatization of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
by one of its own members, Stanley Stevens. The acting of
Norman Bailey in the dual-personality role, and of Grady Sprat-
lin as "Mr. Utterson," deserves special praise. Miss Ruth
Jones was introduced as sponsor. Our thirtieth year gives every
promise of a future which shall build worthily on the past.

Teeming with spirit, overflowing with inspiration, rich in
thought, noble in purpose, Theta Zeta Phi stamps her lasting
influence on the lives of her members. To make this influence
living and vital Theta Zeta, has ever striven to put her best into
every program; has called upon the latent talents of each mem-
ber: has used these talents for the uplifting of the society and
Piedmont in the development of an appreciation of fine arts.
The anniversary program, a dramatization of "The Love of a
Puritan Maid," written by Margaret Curtis, was a seasonable
play, beautiful in its solemn simplicity, given on Thanksgiving
eve. Sincere, true worth prompted by unselfish love is the key-
note of Theta Zeta Phi's activities.

The Y. M. C. A. has been able to increase its usefulness during 1927-
28. Varied programs have contributed much to this. The purpose of the
Y. M. C. A. has been effected by inculcating the spiritual, by training the
mental and by developing the physical. The Y. M. C. A. has sent dele-
gates to sectional and national conventions. Roy Gill represented Piedmont
at Detroit during the Christmas holidays, and at least one delegate will be
sent to the Blue Ridge Conference. It is necessary to come into relations
with other students if the greatest service is to be rendered.

Believing that training for Christian leadership is a vital phase of
education today, and endeavoring to make that leadership effective through
organized activity, the students of Piedmont College have an organization
known as the "Life Service Band," whose influence is felt, not only on the
campus, but throughout the surrounding community.

This organization has as its members those who wish service to be the
keynote of their lives. This includes not only those preparing for definite
Christian work, such as the ministry or mission field, but all those who
purpose to carry a Christian spirit into any work. It strives to serve as an
inspiration center whose special aim is a one hundred per cent. Christian
campus.

There are many interesting and well worth-while aspects of Home
Economics which can not be considered in the routine of daily class work.
Feeling that they were missing something vital to a well-rounded course,
the Home Economics girls in 1924 organized the Home Economics Club.
This Club grew out of a need and the members feel that this need is being
filled.

Bien que Le Cercle Francais soit en son enfance, on en peut entendre
parle autour du college. Le Cercle fut organise en automme de 1925 par
Monsieur le Professeur Burrage, chef du department de la langue francaise
dont l'enthousiasme indefaillant l'a fait un succes.

Le but du Cercle est pour encourager l'etude de la langue francaise et
pour introduire une atmosphere francaise dans la salle de la classe.

Cette annt'e, dun interet special ont ete les discours et les exhibitions
de M. le Professeur qui a passe recemment un mois a Paris. II a apporte
aux membres du Cercle des connaissances fraiches touchant la France et sa
capitale. Ces traits font les reunions du Cercle Francais tres profitables et

cuales data del siglo catorce. Hoy dia el aniversario es celebrado en Espana
por los poetas y autores; el que da a luz la obra mas notable queda premiado
con una flor, serial de su merito literario. Esta costumbre se observa en el
club a fines del ario escolastico. Todos toman parte en esta fiesta, repre-
sentando a personajes historicos o literarios de Espana. Esta fiesta termina
en un pic-nic en el que se sirve platos nacionales esparioles y el muy famoso
"cocido."

La intencion del club es la promocit'm de entendimiento internacional
entre los norte americanos y ols hispono americanos, y aunque este proposito
quede bastante alto, se efectuara en gran parte por medio de conocimiento
reciproco.

Drama League is the one place where expression students from all
classes meet on the same basis- that of co-operative study and application
of principles learned. During the first semester while other activities are
prominent, the League emphasizes the technique of drama and is advisory
to other groups in the production of various programs. During the second
semester the art of drama is emphasized. Three plays are produced con-
sisting of one from Shakespeare, and two others with a more decidedly
popular appeal. The spirit is democratic, and it is the aim of the League
not only to train its individual members both in the science and art of
drama but also to contribute something worth while to its audiences.

Football

The college year ' 27-' 2 8 began with a roar when the men reported for football
practice before classes began. The coaches, Messrs. Forester, primed the team for the first
game which was with Ninth A. & M. Having developed into a seasoned squad, the first
game was won by a lone touchdown.

The team soon swung into mid-season form and won the next game from West
Georgia State Normal by the score of 7-0. The next game was a scoreless tic with
Jacksonville Normal. The Lions bowed before the onslaught of the Rams at Tifton.
Both games were lost on the Florida trip. The strong Miami eleven won by the sub-
stantial margin of 34-0. Rollins college only defeated the Lions by a one point margin,
19-18. The Lions staged one of the greatest comebacks in the last few minutes of play
that has ever been displayed by a Piedmont team, scoring two touchdowns in the last
seven minutes of play. The Lions, badly handicapped by injuries, lost the last road game
to Tennessee Wesleyan.

A day ever memorable to Piedmont students was Thanksgiving day. It can not be
forgotten that "Cap" James played his last game. For several times the Lions held Mars
Hill on the five and ten yard line and in the last few minutes of play the Lions opened up
a passing game which seemed invincible. However, Mars Hill won the game by a single
touchdown.

For the first time in Piedmont's history sweaters were given as an award to nineteen
letter men. The diligent management of the team made this possible.

The "Rinkey Dinks" a la scrubs deserve a word. They showed a wonderful spirit
in providing opposition for the varsity. They won two games from A. 8 M. and one
from Cornelia. The "Rinkey Dinks" were: Edwards. Farmer, Whitlow. Rogers, Smith,
Burns, Payne, Ensminger, Harper, McAlpine. Moore. Jones, and Torres.

The season was the most successful that the Lions have had in the past few years.
The spirit and purpose was the best ever, which after all really matters.

HASLETT. Halfback

"Charley" was very valuable in completing passes. He was perhaps
the best receiver among the backs.

JAMES (Manager). Tackle

"Cap" played his last football game for Piedmont on Thanksgiving
day. This day was rightly called "Cap James' Day." "Cap's" playing
has been spectacular and will be remembered by all the students.

RlCKMAN. Guard

"Rick" had a determination to get his man and very seldom did he
fail. With more experience "Rick" will be a valuable linesman.

Gillespie, Tackle

Gillespie is looked to to fill James' place next year. So to do is
difficult, but Gillespie has wonderful possibilities.

Sharp, End

Sharp developed into one of the best ends and receivers of passes on
the squad. It was by a desperate run and leap that he was able to intercept
a pass for a touchdown at Rollins. This came within only a point of
tying the score.

THORBURN, Halfback

Bob was brilliant on end runs and defense. With added experience
Bob will prove an exceptionally valuable back next year.

Sutton was perhaps the most fleet man on the team. With his agility

"Knute" and Browning were tied for generalship honor. Gullette
possesses endless energy as well as exceptional football ability.

TEASLEY (Alternate Captain) , Center

"Goot" was a thorn in the side of the opponents. Seemingly his motto
was or should have been "never say die."

Clark, End

Clark was an exceptional receiver of passes. The opposition was very
sure to watch him to prevent the least chance of his being open.

Boys' Basket-Bail

The Lions having to overcome several disadvantages this year came
through with a fairly successful season. The loss of three letter men and
an exceptionally hard schedule were some of the obstacles that confronted
the coaches. The Lions, however, are to be praised for the fight which
they carried with them into every game.

The Miami "Y," Clemson, J. P. C. and Appalachian games were
among the best games played. Although defeated by these teams, the
Lions held them to a quite reasonable score.

Every man is expected to be with us next year and revenge for some of
the scores made against Piedmont this past season.

RlCKMAN. Guard

"Rick." a new man, natural born fighter, has wonderful possibilities,
and will mean much to the team next year.

Browning. Forward

"Hugh" is a good dribbler and many times he went through the
defense, proving his ability to dribble and pass.

Clark. Guard

Clark hails from Norman Park. In guard position Clark played many
games, showing speed and aggressiveness.

i

VlCKERS. Guard

"Bob" proved his ability in relieving "Cap" after the battle had lulled,
showing that he could fill the place regularly.

Piedmont boasts of the Super-Coed basket-ball team of the South. Only twice in
three years have they been defeated, one of these being a college game. The spirit and
team work manifested among the girls is of the best, this due to the wonderful record made.

Of the games played that deserve mention are those played against Young Harris
College. Four times the Lionesses played this team and four times they defeated them.
In all of these games the score was close, furnishing excitement for the spectators.

Only one member of this wonderful team leaves us next year, Elizabeth Moselcy.
Elizabeth will be missed, but we arc expecting some of the new material to take her place.

LITTLE, Center and Manager

Ruth excels all, being high point
man for three years. We can always
depend on Ruth when the extra point
is needed.

MOSELEY, Captain and Forward

Elizabeth fought to the last min-
ute, was runner up in high points.
This is Elizabeth's last year with
Piedmont, but she leaves a wonderful
record behind for others to live up to.

RAMSAY, Guard

Mary Felton with a fighting spirit kept the opponents from scoring
often. They had a hard time scoring when she was under the goal.

RIDGWAY, Guard

Clara Sue played her first year for Piedmont. With her added expe-
rience she is expected to be more valuable to the team.

AXTELL, Guard
Priscilla always showed a very aggressive and fighting spirit.

Baseball

LAWRENCE, Pitcher
Roy will be particularly valuable
to the team this year. With last
year's experience and his natural abil-
ity he will make another one of Pied-
mont's "three letter" men on his
probable winning of one this year.

TEASLEY, Manager. InRelder
"Goot" has played consistent base-
ball at third base in endless energy
and has always a word to keep up
the fight. A good schedule is prom-
ised for this spring by Manager Teas-
ley.

GILL, Captain, Pitcher
"Gillis" is in his athletic prowess
when on the baseball field. Roy's
future in baseball is exceptionally
brilliant. Besides being a pitcher par
excellent he is a wonderful batter.
Rightly he was chosen leader for this
year's team.

CHAMBERS. Infielder

Hoyt will probably make a letter this year. His promise is good, but
last year he had to warm the bench in favor of "Curly" Long at second.

McMILLIAN, Infielder

"Nick" is the last word at shortstop. He is very fast and is superb in
fielding though his batting slumped in the late season.

MCKAY. Outfielder

"Mac" came out in the middle of the season and proved himself to be
a baseball player. He finished up the season in grand fashion.

Baseball Reviezv

The baseball season for this year had not begun at the time this went to
the press. However, the prospects for the season are bright indeed. There is
back this year Roy Gill, who is a mainstay in the team. His pitching is superb
and he handles first base with equal versatility when not pitching. He also
wields a wicked bat. Taft Gill, a brother of Roy Gill, is back to do the receiv-
ing. There are other letter men back who will form the nucleus of this year's
team. These are: Lewis Chambers, McKay, McMillian, Teasley, Browning, a
letter man of two years ago, and Irby, Lawrence, and Hoyt Chambers, who,
although not letter men, will win a place on the team.

The season of 1927 was a decided success. Every series was won save one,
which was fought to a tie.

Most of the letter men of the previous year had been graduated or were not
back when the candidates were called in the early spring. The great burden
fell upon the pitchers during the early games, but speedily the team rounded into
a very smooth aggregation.

The first game was with Ninth A. > M. This game was won by the Lions,
with an impressive score. The season proper was opened with a road trip to
Tifton, where the series was split with the South Georgia Rams. On the same
trip two games were easily won from Sparks College.

Young Harris was the next opponent who bowed beneath the superb pitch-
ing of Gill and Dixon and the sensational fielding of the entire team. This
coupled with excellent batting defeated Young Harris in both games of the
series. High Point College of North Carolina was dazzled by the pitching of
Gill and was sent home defeated. Revenge for the defeat of the Rams from
Tifton was meted out in two defeats on the return series.

A trip to Young Harris was made for a series of two games. The first one
was lost to the home team while the other game was fought to sixteen inning tie.

Then there was Dahlonega in her own backyard for a series. Gill was
master of the situation at all times and with timely hitting the first gams was
won, while the second one was lost by a close score. The series at home was a
very spirited affair which resulted in a split series. Thus the tie with Dahlonega
assured the season of a wonderful success. This was a fitting climax for a
highly successful season.

The photographs of all the team are not included because they w:re not in
school when the photographs were made in the fall. However, a word should
be said of these here even though they are not in the photographs.

Taft Gill is a very capable receiver for his brother and is very impressive in
his slugging.

John Crowe played a steady game at first and at times did some nice slug-
ging.

The Week Before Christmas

'Tivas the week before Christmas when all thru the campus

Not a thing going on. not even a rumpus

A Freshman was hung in a tree with such care

In hopes that the Juniors soon would be there:

The Juniors were nestled all snug in their beds

While visions of banners danced in their heads,

And Cap in his kerchief and Rip in his cap

Had just settled their brains for a real nice long nap

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter.

Cap sprang from his bed to see what was the matter.

When what to his wondering eyes should appear,

But a flock of Juniors assembling there,

With a slim tittle leader coming lively and quickly

He knew in a moment it must be Jiffy.

More rapid than eagles the Juniors they came

And she whistled and shouted and called them by name:

Now Irby! On. Helen! On. Clark and Browning.

On to the Auditorium! to the top of the wall!

The banner, the banner, now dash away all!

As Cap drew in his head and was turning around

In the door Lewis Chambers came with a bound.

He was dressed in wool all from his head to his foot

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot:

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work

Washed off his face and turned with a jerk.

And placing his hand atop of his head

And giving a nod. he jumped into bed,

But Cap heard him exclaim, ere he sank out of sight

"The banner to all. and to all a good-night !"

'Psalm of French

Professor Burrage is my teacher. I shall not pass:

He maketh me to sit down in the classroom.

He leadeth me to the front seat:

He restoreth my knowledge,

He loseth me in the paths of literature for Victor Hugo's sake:

Yea, tho' I wade through the grammar of Fraser and Squair,

I will fear no verbs, for he is with me.

His satchel and his "F" scheme they comfort me.

He preparest a test before me in the presence of my classmates,

He shooteth my brain with questions.

My notebook runneth over;

Surely D's and F's shall follow me all the days of my life

And I shall dwell in the French classroom forever.
