BUILDING BLOCKS FOR THE FUTURE

What did we receive from Piedmont? We arranged our building blocks
with which we expect to be able to face the future with a keen eye and with
confidence.

Our lives were built on the sound foundation of religion, guidance, and
knowledge. We mixed activities and recreation with these solid factors, so
that now we are more than adequately equipped to go our separate ways
into the various paths of the future.

BUT NOW LET US PAUSE

To Say That . . .

If this book, through its pictures and script, brings
to you, readers, a glimpse of our school life; if it
recalls to you, Seniors, pleasant memories of the yesl
teryear of comrades and of happy hours passed at
PIEDMONT COLLEGE then we shall know that it
has served its purpose well.

DEDICATION...

In loving devotion for the loyal and depend-

able service that he has rendered to Piedmont

College students, we dedicate this, the 1952

Yonahian, to Dr. Homer W. Stevens, as he

completes his thirtieth year of teaching here.

ADMINISTR ATION...

Here is a book called The Yonahian. Since one is
published every year it is called an "annual." To some
it might be just another book. To you, however, who
have given some of your best years to Piedmont, who
have played and worked and worshiped here in the
midst of friends, to you it is more than a book. It is
to you a treasure store of memories. The record of
gain and loss, of sorrow and joy, of growth, of fun
and of achievement is written here. As the years come
and go may you often turn to these pages, and may
you have ever an increasing happiness from the mem-
ories they arouse.

Knowledge is the golden key that opens the door to success.

COLORS
Black and Gold

FLOWER
Gold Chrysanthemum

At the beginning of the school term of 1922-23, as a result of a long felt
and growing need of young ladies of Piedmont College, the Theta Zeta Phi
was organized.

When the name Theta Zeta Phi is mentioned, there is an instant feeling of
pride in the heart of every member and they think of the ideals for which
we stand Love, Idealism, Friendship.

PROTROPIAN LITERARY SOCIETY

MOTTO
Knowledge Is Power.

The Protropian Literary Society has contributed much in the past 55 years
to the formation of noble character and high ideals among the young men
who have sought training at Piedmont.

The elements of brotherly love, sympathy, and co-operation of the society
bind men together so that each individual may lend to the entire group the
qualities of strength and talent which he possesses, and may in turn receive
the help, inspiration and protection of the whole organization.

This year a hope of many students and faculty members has become a
reality with the organization of Piedmont's first Men's Glee Club. Throughout
the year several enjoyable performances were given, our debut being the
Thanksgiving Banquet. The year was climaxed with "The Testament of Free-
dom" at Commencement, along with "The Red Mill."

The purpose of this organization has been to create an appreciation of
men's singing for ourselves and the public, to promote better relations among
the men on the campus, and to bring to the students and public an interpre-
tation of music through the medium of men's voices.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The 1952 Yonahian is yours now. We, the members of the staff, have
tried to make it a worthy successor to those books that have preceded it.
We hope you will enjoy it.

The work of editing has been none too easy, but it would have been many
times harder in fact, impossible had it not been for the aid and co-
operation given us.

To the following who have helped in the preparation of our book, we
wish to express our appreciation:

Mr. Long, of Bowen, Long and Young, Inc., and the members of Photo
Process Engaving Co. for their artistic designing and printing of the book.

Duke Riner of Hewett Studio, Atlanta, Ga., for his excellent photographic
work.

Mr. Lemjakov for his kindness in letting us have some of his pictures.

Mr. Drake, our sponsor, for his supervision.

The faculty and students of Piedmont College for their help in support-
ing the book.

Our advertisers, who have shown in a most substantial way their con-
fidence in our undertaking.

Mrs. Batson, college treasurer, for handling our finances.

Mays Potts, a friend indeed, for the many times we have used his car.
