This is your yearbook. In it you will find memories
of bygone days, days of laughter and days of worry,
days of work and days of play. Nor can we forget the
nights filled with activities, dances, lyceums and studies.

If you find these memories happy ones, it is because
you have made them so. Your spirit of dedication, your
determination to achieve your goals, and your efforts in
all fields of endeavor gave Piedmont College a new look
of youthful prosperity.

It is with pride in you and your college that we
present this Book of Memories.

Dr. and Mrs. H. William Emerson

Dr. and Mrs. Emerson have brought a lot more to Piedmont College than scholarship and
professional ability alone. Among their qualities is a cheerful and unchanging friendliness
that ignores distinctions between the degrees and levels of campus society. Always deeply
appreciative of important things, they go beyond most of us and sort out the petty things
which do not deserve concern and dismiss them with a laugh. They have taught us that there
is such a thing as rationality and that there is real meaning in the injunction to "let all things
be done in decency and in order." They have taught us not to squander our feelings on
little things and have shown us a delightful prodigality with humor. They have shown us pro-
portion and discretion in emotion. These things they have done by example, unconsciously
and sincerely in infirmary and classroom. These things we recognize through the dedication
of this Annual and our admission that we have come to know and admire the balanced life
they have shown us.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The twenty-four men and women who make up the Board of Trustees carry the corporate re-
sponsibilities of our college. They are talented and devoted people, representing a variety of busi-
ness and professional experiences, such as teaching and educational administration, medicine, law,
business, scientific research, engineering, finance, and the Christian ministry.

They reside in twelve different states, even though over half of them live in Georgia. Their un-
derstanding of the objectives of Christian higher education and their devotion to the long range wel-
fare of Piedmont College are at the heart of all their policy making decisions.

THE

PRESIDENT'S

MESSAGE

My tenth message to you is one of
gratifying progress and genuine opti-
mism for the future of your Alma
Mater. All of us are especially grate-
ful for the marvelous improvements
which have been made in our physical
plant during the current year through
the generosity of our friends.

Will any of us ever forget the joys
of sharing in the dedication of King
Science Hall on Sunday afternoon,
November 26, 1958? Every Piedmont
student of chemistry, biology, and
physics has thoroughly enjoyed the
practical efficiency, beautiful appoint-
ments, and comfortable atmosphere of
the first building in Georgia, according to the Georgia Power Company, that was completely heated
and cooled by electricity. All of us are profoundly grateful to Dr. and Mrs. Robert J. King, Alumni,
Trustees, and all other friends who gave generously of their substance and time to the strengthening
of our total program. They gave, and enjoy giving, because they believe in you, the students of
Piedmont College. They believe in your abilities to learn and they are confident that you will take
your full measure of responsibility in all of your social and community relationships, especially as^
active supporters of your Alma Mater. They believe in your desire to become constructive and crea-
tive citizens of the world. They believe in your devotion to God and your partnership with all men
of good will.

The gym, too, had a wonderful new look last fall. The sturdy lion emblems, designed and painted
by Dick Taylor and Dean Sheetz, a new hardwood floor, an acoustical ceiling, glass backboards,
and freshly painted walls give us all a big lift.

Your fellow students of last year have graduated and pressed on to a variety of major respon-
sibilities in the work of the world. Teachers of elementary children, leaders of high school youth,
business executives, housewives, and graduate school students are all happily and successfully at
work. They are discovering the adventures of applying the knowledge and spirit of college days to
the practical tasks of their respective callings. Visiting them in their "homes and at their altars of
toil provides many wonderful compensations for me during my days of traveling from coast to coast
as an interpreter and ambassador of the college.

I am deeply confident that all of you who have shared in the life of our campus this year will
also be successful in all the worthwhile adventures of the years ahead. Our abiding concern and
warmhearted affection will go with you through all the years ahead.

The Yonahian Staff

The memories of a year are difficult to catch and hold but this is a job given every annual staff.
The compilation of any yearbook has its headaches and moments of despair, its toil and frantic
rushes to meet that dreaded deadline; but let no one issue a complaint, for out of this comes a
new experience of responsibility. Nor is it all labor, for a new. feeling of companionship, the spon-
taneous laughter at our many mistakes, and the several pauses that refresh have all been a part of
our school year.

Throughout the year your annual staff has been rushing hither and yon selling advertisements,
blinding people with flash bulbs and making a general nuisance of itself. The year started, for us,
in the Spring quarter of 1958, continued through the summer months and on into the school year.
Somehow the dummies, copies, divisions, catalogues, pictures, worn pencils, and frayed nerves fell into
place as the year progressed and their product we now proudly present as the 1959 YONAHIAN.

College Choi

The college choral program is designed with three aims. First is training. Students with no pre-
vious training learn to carry a part, then to help weaker members, and eventually to go out as valu-
able members of church choirs in their home communities. Secondly, the choir provides leadership
in chapel and vesper services. Soloists and small ensembles receive additional experience through this
medium of expression. Third, publicity. Over the years the choral groups have carried the name
of Piedmont College into the high schools of the area while providing musical entertainment for them.
The principal of one high school which recently hired a music director has stated that their interest
in music began with our yearly visits. The student with ability and a willingness to serve finds
many opportunities in a small school such as ours.

The Student Christian Association is an interdenominational organization for all students. It of-
fers opportunities for Christian fellowship, service and leadership. It meets regularly one evening a
week.

The S.C.A. activities include sponsoring several special programs during the year, and selecting
student leaders for vespers and chapel. The S.C.A. also sponsors vesper programs for other groups.
This year we carried a program to Truett McConnell Junior College. One of our most outstanding
projects is the sponsoring of Christian Emphasis Week once a year.

This year the Student Christian Association elected Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Cherry as advisors. With
their help we look forward to a successful year of service to the students and school.

Future Teachers of America

The main purposes of F.T.A. are the following:

1. To develop among young people who are preparing to be teachers an organization which shall
be an integral part of state and national education associations. .

2. To interest the best young men and women in education as a lifelong career.

3. To encourage careful selection of persons admitted to schools which prepare teachers, with em-
phasis on both character and scholarship.

4. To seek thru the dissemination of information and thru higher standards of preparation to
bring teacher supply and demand into a reasonable balance.

Any student planning to teach upon graduation is eligible for membership.

Our major projects this year were serving at faculty coffee and a week long program for National
Education Week. This program included a chapel program and a radio broadcast.

The test of what F.T.A. has meant to us is the part we shall take after graduation in the work of
the National Education Association and our state and local education associations. These organiza-
tions are needed now more than ever before and they afford us the best opportunities to take our
part in safeguarding education and democracy.

The Owl Staff

The Piedmont Owl for 1958-59 has been one of the most successful papers to be published for
several years. Circulation has reached an all-time high and an expanded mailing list takes the Pied-
mont Owl to high schools, and colleges from Florida to Hawaii. The Owl has been published on a
regular monthly schedule using for most of its material the creative writing and journalism of Pied-
mont students. The Owl has contained a series of excellent feature articles and has been charac-
terized by a vigorous and fresh style which will serve as a challenge to future Owls as well as a
foundation upon which to build.

Gamma Chi Literary Society

"Make the Most of the Day"

President Louise Wansley has led the Gamma Chi Literary Society through many happy as well
as useful hours this year. Other officers include Julianne Roane, Vice-President, and Thelma Chas-
tain, Secretary-Treasurer.

The Gamma Chis began the year with an outdoor banquet for all the new girls on campus. One
of our favorite projects, and one which the students seemed to enjoy, was the Gamma Chi candy
stand. Working with our brother society, the Protropians, we helped to purchase and make the
Piedmont College banner now hanging in the gym. One of our more outstanding projects was
sponsoring successfully The Ugly Man, 1959, Guerry Strickland. Other activities include hobo days,
and basketball games with the Theta Zeta society. Although they proved the superior we had fun
trying anyway.

We give our special thanks to Miss Lillian McKee and Dr. Elizabeth Sawyer for all their willing
help and with their help we look forward to an even brighter future.

Protropians

"Knowledge is Potter"

This year's Protropian Men's Literary Society has experienced a resurgence of interest in those
campus activities which engender and maintain a spirit of camraderie as well as supply valuable
services to the student body and college family. Among this year's activities have been the daily dis-
play of the colors on the campus flagpole, fund-raising efforts through scrap collecting and car
washing, and sponsorship of dances and candidates in various campus contests. Perhaps the more
lasting contributions have been the framing of an original document of the founding of our college
and the purchase of the Piedmont Banner. The momentum of interest in the club has been success-
fully carried through the entire school year and the Protropians of 1958-59 leave a legacy of
good memories, solid accomplishments, and a nucleus for future clubs which is well-trained and
imbued in the spirit of campus service embodied in the Society.

Theta Zeta Phi Society

The year 1958-59 has been a successful one for the Theta Zeta Phi Society. They began with a
get-acquainted party for the new girls on campus at the home of the Theta Zeta Phi's sponsor, Mrs.
Mildred Davis. Later in the year they entertained their brother society, the j. S. Greens with a
party at the Davis's cabin on Seed Lake. They joined the other societies to make the Queen of
Hearts Dance a great success.

The foundations of our club are love, idealism, and friendship. We look forward to even more
successful years in the future filled with happiness and fun for all.

/. S. Green Society

The slow start of our organization was not indicative of our achievements in this year of prog-
ress. Under the leadership of Jim Cantrell the progress of regenerating traditional literary events and
projects was continued.

Among other projects was the sponsoring of a motorcade and the pep rally, the co-sponsoring of
the Valentine Dance, and the renovation of the "Green Room."

We hope for a continued growth in the fraternal companionship and in the prominence of the
J. S. Green Society.

Miss Yonahian
1959

A glow of happiness and festivity lingered over the
traditional regality and atmosphere long after the last
couple had parted. The highlight of a most wonderful
dance had been the crowning of this lovely queen of
the campus.

Miss Yonahian is chosen by the student body each
year and is the highest non-scholastic honor a co-ed can
be given. Beauty, intelligence, poise and popularity are
the qualities which have made Shelby Parks our Miss
Yonahian of 1959.

THE VARSITY

The following statement is not my own but one with which I heartily agree

and feel deserves repeating on this page.

"Sport, which still keeps the flag of idealism flying, is perhaps the most saving
grace in the world at the moment with its spirit of rules kept, and regard for
the adversary whether the fight is going for or against; when, if ever, the fair play
spi rit of sport reigns over international affairs, the cat force which rules there will
slink away and human life emerges for the first time from the jungle." Galsworthy

SIXTY-FIRST
GRADUATION

PIEDMONT
COLLEGE

The weekend of the sixty-first graduation of Piedmont College was packed full
of fun for graduates and alumni alike. On Saturday June 6. 1958, the alumni
gathered for their annual barbecue. After much conversation about "do you remem-
ber when" the alumni relived their old baseball days in a fast and exciting game
against the students. The weekend was ended by the President's reception held in
the E. Louise Patten Library.
