The students of Piedmont College, representing only a small group of his many
friends, treasure his sineere devotion, cherish his wholehearted cooperativeness,
admire his colorful versatility, praise his self-sacrificing goodness, and delight in
his unrestricted friendliness; therefore, we dedicate this YONAHIAN of 1940 to

PROFESSOR A. R. VAN CLEAVE.

F (I It K W I) I! I)

Here's your 1940 YONAHIAN. In

it are reproductions of familiar
scenes and faces which identify
Piedmont College; in it are repre-
sented feelings and attitudes which
also identify Piedmont. In compil-
ing this annual, the Staff has kept in
mind these factors and has striven
to produce a constant reminder of
the activities and spirit which were
a part of Piedmont in 1939-40.

While the Piedmont team cannot see many victories as they look in retrospect upon
the 1940 season, they can see a team that was always fighting ; a team that played ball
for the sake of playing ball and that was not defeated by their losses ; and a team that in
most games was able to hold any opponent to a close score during the first half. But
the 1940 season was certainly not without its thrills remember our 26-25 defeat by
Young Harris, our 49-42 defeat by Monroe Aggies, and those exciting first halves of
nearly every home game. The wholehearted support offered by the student body to the
team indicates that the team did have something to offer.

Mahew Rizer, Bobby Lokey, John Huff and Glenn Williams were members of the
team, and played in several games. However, they were unable to stay with the squad
throughout the entire season. Mention should be made of Tom Brabson, John Stam-
baugh, Edmond Garrison, King Sherrer, Albert Berry, and others who were valuable
as substitutes and who prepared themselves for successful participation next year.

t h e Yonahian 1940

RIDKN Tom has for tour years been a prom-
inent figure in Piedmont basketball. This year he was
second only to Thompson, both in the number of points
scored and the number of quarters in which he played.
He scored 92 points in 77 quarters. Tom was also verj
valuable to the team as a leader and co-captain.

Tom Riiif.x

JORDAN Dan made himself essential to our
team by his fast breaking, hard playing, and by his
ability to shoot goals, especially by taking a ball from
the back board. Credit should be given Dan as one of
the members who held the team together.

PURCELL Ainsworth was a dangerous man un-
der the goal, and was always in the middle of the play-
ing.

FRICKS "Benny" reached his height against N.
G. C. on the Dahlonega court, ami always played a
hard game, being especially good on defense.

Duel Thompson

THOMPSON Duel has been one of the very best guards in the history of Piedmont.
He led his team in number of points scored and also in the number of quarters in which he

played. He shot 151 points
during the season and played
in 84 out of 92 quarters. The
manner in which Duel can
handle the ball, break toward
the goal, and his spectacular
shots made him a favorite with
the Piedmont supporters.

BOYS' n.iskmuii

TOLBERT Frank, starting off as a green freshman, has unquestionably improved more during
the season than any other member of the team.

W ATKINS "Little Joe," by the appearance of his hair, made the Hiawassee supporters laugh
until they saw his accurate shots, and felt the consequences of his close guarding.

BISHOP Conrad was a good guard and, aided by his favored left hand, was an important factor
in the team's passwork and deception.

MOSELEY Nick was a good defensive guard and was especially good on making his long shots
loop through the net.

BROWN Enoch, though his basketball playing was interrupted by boxing, made himself valu-
able to the team, especially by his successful technique of shooting goals.

players of the tournament.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL

The Piedmont girls' sextet was one of the most formidable in North
Georgia. Before the onslaught of their sharpshooters bowed Habersham,
Rabun Gap, Reinhardt College teams, Monroe A. and M., and various
high school teams. The only college teams able to defeat our girls were
Young Harris and Hiawassee.

On a three-game trip to South Georgia our girls met three of the
strongest teams in that section South Georgia, Middle Georgia, and
Norman Park and emerged with their record unscathed. Then our
girls went to a basketball tournament in Piedmont, Alabama. Tin's sea-
son's record was not so impressive that they plunged into this tourna-
ment to win. The Piedmont team won its first game, but in their second
fray they lost a real thriller by a two-point margin to the team that
won the finals of the tournament b\ a 14-point margin. So Piedmont

to her further credit Ruby Brooks was

Jackson as forward for the 12 all-star

JACKSON Mary was a freshman, but was one of the best for-
wards Piedmont has had. When near the goal she was a \ er\ accurate
shot. Alary was the high scorer on the girls' team, scoring 175 points
during the season, and was co-captain of the team.

BROOKS Ruby was equally good as guard or forward, but, play-
ing most of the season as guard, she was one of the most consistent
players Piedmont has had. Ruby was co-captain and played in more
quarters than any other member of the team.

JORDAN Edna was one of our most consistent players. She played most of the season as guard,
yet played forward long enough to score 123 points and to be second only to Jackson in this respect.

MOORE Carolyn was especially good on offense, and was one of our most valuable sharp-
shooters.

ELLISON Frances was expert in the manner of handling the ball and her long shots were good
enough for two points nearly every time.

RITCHIE Ruth was an outstanding guard, and made herself essential to the team by her depend-
able playing.

POOLE Edna, as guard or forward, was always in the middle of the playing, and fighting for
Piedmont.

WILBANKS Hazel, though a freshman, was a very consistent guard and made herself impor-
tant in the first line of reserves through her defensive ability.

Mention should be made of Dorothean Tyner, June Welden, and Emily George, who served as
capable substitutes and cause us to look with optimism on the 1941 season.

off to iiu: iiiiuiK\ i;miu;n

After several weeks of intensive training,
denying themselves desserts, chopping wood,
and going to bed early, Dynamite McFarlin,
Cyclone Brown, and Trainer Bruiser Bishop
left Demorest for the Golden Gloves Boxing
Tournament in Atlanta, February 12, accom-
panied by Coach A. R. Van Cleave and Dr.
Bailey M. Wade. McFarlin lost his first bout
on a questionable decision to a Golden Gloves
veteran who had been champion in his weight
division four out of five times. Brown lost a
hard fight. Bishop won his bout, but received
an injury that made it advisable for him to
withdraw before his next fight.

We are looking forward to a more exten-
sive boxing program next year.

This year, for the first time in four years, Piedmont went in for baseball as a regular
part of her intercollegiate schedule. The team was made more impressive by the pur-
chase of such amounts of equipment, including new uniforms, as had not been known
at Piedmont for a number of years.

At the beginning of the season it was apparent that our material was almost totally
green ; only a few of the boys had had any experience in college baseball. Riden was
the most experienced candidate, while Williams, Lokey, Jordan, Pittman, Rizer, and
Hood were not totally inexperienced. However, after a few weeks of practice and a
number of shifts in the line-up, a promising team began to develop.
