Page Thirtij-si.r m 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.

Treasurer 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."

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." Page sixty-six Page Sixty-sevt n r' H The J. S. Green Society OFFICERS First Term J. B. SHARP President ROBERT THORBURN Vice-President W. L. BOWEN Secretary George Penn Treasurer Second Term Norman H. Bailey President Floyd Price Vice-President CHARLES NEAL Secretary Lowrance Butcher . . . Treasurer 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.

Treasurer 1 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. Page Seventy Page Seventy-one Page Seventy-two OFFICERS GEORGE PENN President James McKay Vice-President LOUIS HOBSON Secretary FLOYD PRICE Treasurer 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. I'aiii s, i , iii ii three Life Service Band OFFICERS Alice Smith President Margaret Curtis Vice-President Helen Cowan Vice-President Floyd PRICE .... Secretary -Treasurer BRUCE CORE . . Secretary -Treasurer 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.

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. Page 8< n nty-fivt 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.

Que todos sus miembros participen en los programas regulares y tambirn de- semperien los oficios, es el proposito del club. La parte mas importante del programa anual es la celcbracicn de los Juegos Florales, el origen de las 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.

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. Page Eighty four 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. Pagi Eiyhty-flvi Page Eighty-six Page Bightysevtn 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. I'ut/i i.'ii/ii ty-eight Sutton, Halfback Sutton was perhaps the most fleet man on the team. With his agility and added experience Taft has a wonderful possibility. GULLETTE, Quarterback "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. Punt Eighty-nine I'iii/c A inrlii 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. Piedmont College 41 Clemson "Y" 38 Piedmont College 37 J. P.

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. I'fiiir Kinetu-thret 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.

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. Pu(je ninety-six 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.

Besides being a pitcher par excellent he is a wonderful batter. Rightly he was chosen leader for this year's team. l'ufie Ninety-seven Page Ninety-eight 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. I',!,:, \ in I III- II ill, #c 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. Page One Hundred PBATURD-S 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.
