If this book, through its pictures and script, brings to you, 
the readers, a glimpse of our school life; if it recalls to you,

ADMINISTRATION 



A new feeling of hope and confidence is one of 
the great gifts of life discovered during college 
years. New knowledge becomes the strength of 
achieving, and the humility of searching deeper 
and further for truth. New physical coordination and 
added emotional maturity radiates a positiveness of 
well founded hope and confidence in life. New faith 
in the living God grows from accepting gladly the 
joy of each day, and pressing forward without com- 
t over the rough places of sorrow. 



New poise has become ours through the many 
choice opportunities of meeting new friends, living 
among kindred spirits, and studying with Christian 
professors. Our mutual goals for life on the Pied- 
mont College campus are summarized for us by the 
Gospel of Luke, "Jesus grew in wisdom, In 
and in favor with God and man."

Societies play an important part in the life at Piedmont. The 
J. S. Green Society, founded by the pioneers of the college, 
has developed with the college and has helped deepen the 
spirit of loyalty and devotion to the faculty and administration. It 
has endeavored to create bonds between students and the 
school, which will mean loyal attachment to the Green and 
Gold.

PRDTRDPIAN 



The name, Protropian, is derived from a Greek word meaning, 
"In the forefront." Every member is looking forward, striving 
to make the organization a vital part of our college life. This 
was the ideal of the charter members and so it remains today. 
It lives in the heart of every Protropian. 

Now with the past behind us with its victories and the future 
before us with its opportunities, may no loyal "prot" rest upon 
his glories but with the energy and vision of the utmost to 
bring into realization, "A Greater Piedmont" and "A Greater 
Protropian Society."

The Men's Glee Club consists of all young men who are interested in 
singing for pleasure. It offers many enjoyable programs throughout the year. 

The purpose of this organization is 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 interpretation 
of music through the medium of men's voices.

The 1953 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 to easy, but it would have been many 
times harder in fact, impossiblehad it not been for the aid and co-operation 
given us. 

To the following people 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 Engraving Co. for their artistic designing and printing of the book. 

Lee Sears of Hewett Studio, Atlanta, Ga., for his excellent photographic 
work. 

Dr. Fuller and Mr. Lemjakov for their kindness in supplying us with n 
photographic help. 

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

Bill McClure for the many times we have used his 

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

Mr. Samuel Woodruff, our sponsor, for his supervision.
