Even though the trend of our day seems to encourage many young people to expect something for nothing from the government or someone else, we believe that the disciplines of working toward worthy objectives are essential to the development of a mature personality. On our campus, it is an honor to be remembered as a faithful breakfast cook, a dependable laboral sistant, or a reliable dormitory janitor. The pictures in the YONAHIAN of every year reflect beauty ol character, stamina, and plain perseverance The dignitj ol man and the glory ol God are revealed anev. in the- successful Lives of every green and gold generation. No wondei the faculty and adminu tion take- profound pride in oui graduates! One of our friends wrote us during the yeai and said thai he was glad to be a partner in "in program al Piedmont < ollege because "The name- ol God was not tabu..' on oui campus. We purpose eve to Find oui inspiration and strength in i living and eternal God. We press on toward the goals ol inter- national fellowship Oui students, faculty, and friends all believe in the ; tica] ideals ol integrity, industry, and religious faith We would grow steadily in understanding all truth We dedicate ourselves afresh to the leadership ol the MasU-r ol all men. - '- ' CUtet Dr. BENJAMIN D.

"Rat ?Vee6 l Ik Mohawk thai caused ti>< iquawk! "pceU What was supposed to be a sunny day turned out to be filled with clouds and rain. The day at last had arrived for the annual struggle between the poor little freshmen and the more experienced sophomores. For an opener, members of both classes scurried around pinning everyone in sight with a Cat or Rat. They then turned their efforts to "beautifying" the campus and dining rooms with decorations in the class colors. Since the field was a sea of mud, the competitive events were held in the gym. The bleachers were filled with faculty and more fortunate upperclassmen who came to see the events. The contests included Starring gals. ^>acf three-legged races, free throw contests, sprints and dashes. When the morning ended, the score was very close, but in the afternoon, the sophomores won both the girls' and boys' basketball games and surged ahead on points. The rain continued throughout the day, and by evening the Rats' hopes had hit a new low. They delivered a wonderfully clever skit, but it was not good enough to surpass the hilarious "wedding" stunt of the sophs. When the final tally was announced, the sophomores had won, and the poor freshmen were doomed to wear their Rat Caps till Christmas.

Green Literary Society for men was slow getting organized this year, but when they did get started, there was no stopping the Greens. They chose Chuck Green as their President, and Jeep Fairbanks as Secretary. The sponsors this year are Coach Cave and Dr. Emerson. Lively basketball games have been played between the Props and the Greens on the weekends. The rivalry is always keen and the results hilarious. ~76e *P%oPi*ficcut ^ttencvuf Society Left to ri>>ht: J Fields, L Chambers, C. Russell, K Hclscth. B. Thompson, D. LeCn \ I Warner. T.

First, the boys collected the majority of freshmen and convinced them that they should be- come Protropians. Then the Prots, with the help of the Gamma Chis, served coffee and cake after Vesper services in the Commons Hall parlor. To add to their laurels, the Prots were repeated winners in the basketball games plauJ against the Greens. Dr. C. D. Clement, sponsor of the Protropians, entertained the b>>\s several evenings at his home. These events, and many more, have added to the en)>>\ ment of this year for the Prots. 76**t64ycvi*ty> 'Dtutce The Yonahian staff hopes it has set a precedent this year with the giving of a Thanksgiving Dance. Following the annual student banquet on November 15, the most successful dance of the season was held in the library to present and honor Miss Yonahian of 1957. Candlelight illuminated the decorations which carried out the harvest motif through the use of gorgeous fall flowers. The evening was climaxed by the presentation of Miss Yonahian of '57, lovely Suzanne Swaim. Deloris Newberry, Miss Yonahian of '56, presented an arm spray of red roses to Suzanne. The dance royally opened the holiday season of festivities. Sidney congratulates Miss Yonahian. Miss Yonahian 1956 congratulates Miss Yonahian 1957. This was early in the evening. Go ! King, go ! A charming Lyceum Program, "Romance in Song," by Doraine and Ellis on December 6 was followed by the Gamma Chi-Protropian Christmas Formal. Dressed in exquisite costumes, Doraine and Ellis presented their delightful interpretations of various scores from noted Broadway musicals to a most ap- preciative audience. The evening was brought to a close by the formal. The dancers filled the library which was colorfully bedecked with Christmas trees, colored lights, tinsel, and holly. Superfluous to Kok at! The annual Piedmont Homecoming Game was celebrated this year in a walloping way. For the first time, the student body selected by popular vote a queen and two attendants. The queen and her court were crowned at half- time by the captain and co-captain of the Lions' Cagers. The girls were then escorted by mem- bers of the squad to seats of honor at mid- court. After the game, the celebration con- tinued with a sock-hop until midnight. The Queen and her court await crowns. The evening's festivities were marred when Paul Hartman received a back injury in the first half. Nevertheless the halftime score saw Piedmont 27 points ahead of North Georgia. The final score was P.C 72, N.G. 42. High scorer was Don Parks. All the boys were in high spirits and saw plenty of action. *ttywteca*Kt*tp ^ot/ctfty Queen ~ HELEN T. KITTRELL Attendants DIANE RICHARDSON MARY MAXWELL The mid quarter blues were shattered by one of the most successful proms in Piedmont's history. The dance, sponsored by the Theta Zetas and the J. S. Greens, was held in the library on Valentine's Night, from 8:00 12:00. The E. Louise Patten Library was beautifully decorated with drifting nets and red and white hearts. The Sergeants of North Georgia College provided music for the eager dancers. The highlight of the occasion was the crowning of the "Queen and King of Hearts." Miss Diane Richardson, of Attleboro, Mass., and Harrison S. Libby, of West Hempstead, N. Y., were crowned Queen and King. The punch bowl was continually emptied.

"All right, signals Joe Kalendish and his Sardines starred at Piedmont's home games this year. Joe, in the person of Bill Lepere, led his band of miscellaneous instruments and bands- men to glory during the actual playing of the games and at halftime periods. That s Billy Willet on the washtub con- traption and Lance Warner with the drum with the hole in it. Teddy Hicks didn't know the name of his instrument, but he couldn't play it anyway so it didn't make any difference. Jack Hobbs' trombone let out some woeful wails while Bill Lepere's trumpet played hot and cool. The Sar- dines knew at least half of two songs, but their favorite was "The Washington and Lee Swing." The 1956-57 season for the Piedmont Basketball squad was not brilliant, but it did not lack for thrills. Rollm Channel and Dean Sheetz led in the storing department averaging twenty-one and twenty points, respectively. Coach O NfeaJ ( ave led his tagers to triumph nine times out of twenty-one attempts.

(?fa44, *Piofi6ecy Ladies and Gentlemen: In this year, 2057, it is my privilege to talk to you this evening. However, I shall not discuss my serum which has given me everlasting life, but rather, I would like to tell you about an experience I had recently. As you can probably guess, a person as old as I am now and then gets lonesome for some of his old friends. So the other day, I called heaven and arranged with St. Peter for a meeting of the class my old graduating class from dear old Piedmont College. Frank Brown was the first to show up for the spiritual confab. We talked over old times awhile and then he told me what had happened to him after his leaving Piedmont. Can you imagine Frank as a public relations man for a sauerkraut concern? Frank said that he used to run into Bill Mason in New York (Bill couldn't come because there's not a soul anywhere who has come back from there). Willie was a wild one, and he didn't change after he became the greatest dentist in New York. It was a misplaced bicuspid that finally got him. While Frank and I were still yacking, Rollin Channell flew in. Rollin always was bad about flying somewhere; to center, to short, to left field if it hadn't been so darned spooky, I would have been glad to see the old boy. He confessed to me that he had had a great life and had hated to give it up but he said that being a second Elvis Presley had its drawbacks. One couldn't go on acting young forever. Donald Parks had been Rollic's business manager, and when Don died of old age, Rollie retired and lived off his moldy old money. Charles Fagan dropped in then and told how he became the leading citizen of Toccoa, only to lose all his prestige when his partner, Dean Stephens, beat it with the cash box. George Rylee, a GBI man, lost his life in a gun battle with Stephens but mortally wounded the thief. Sue Bethke floated in on a cloud of green and disclosed the fact that she had in her lifetime been known as "the greatest." I and my ghostly pals asked her "the greatest what?" but she just shrugged and said, "the greatest anything." Chuck Green appeared then and attention was focused on him while he related a sad story about Georgia girls and the life of a bachelor. James Panter emerged from the west wall and tried to get everyone to join the army. James joined that outfit after graduation and is sill loyal to it. He confided that during a tour of duty in Peru where he met an Indian selling fake jewels and he looked very much like Conley Owens. Sara Loudermilk came sailing through a window and gasped that she almost didn't get there because she had been studying for an exam in spookology and didn't get the signal from earth until it was almost too late. She proudly stated that before her death she had even seven Ph.D's in various fields. James Sosebee materialized and in his usual mantlet calmly stated that Ins records made while playing with the Boston Celtics bad ne\er been eejualed. He made points when the Celtics played North Georgia. David let toy Came in then and said, "It am t so' David indignantly cried that as lone; as he was President oi .v I College he would never let a team s^orc that many points against his team, he'd trce^e- tin ball lust. I asked Sue where Helen Kittiell was She laid lh< hadn't seen her in quite mmiic- timi', bill asked me didn't I know that old soldiers nc\el die tlicV jllSt fade aw ,u The place was in an upreut with all the old erowel talking o\cr old times when Mrs Ye.nwood marched in and restored ordet She then licrelcel all the spirits back to Hea\cn and left me with senile weird thoughts Great Scotts !
