INTRODUCTION

The 1962 Yonahian has been brought into being with
the expectancy that in future years it will serve to re-
create for us this period of our lives which has been
filled with the seemingly innumerable trials, triumphs
and joys of collegiate life.

It is our hope that with the fulfilling of this purpose,
this Yonahian will become and remain throughout the
years one of our most treasured possessions.

To you who take the deepest interest in all things
about you;

To you who have shown tirelessness and patience
always;

To you who give of your own time with unselfishness
and without complaint;

With appreciation for your constant smile;

With gratitude for your understanding and
friendship;

With admiration for your willingness to help, and
more than help.

To you, Miss Griggs, we give our thanks for all that you have
meant to each of us, and we dedicate the memories of this year as
portrayed in the 1962 YONAHIAN.

EDITOR'S NOTE

This is your 1962 YONAHIAN. On the pages of this book are found familiar
scenes and faces around Piedmont College. The feelings and attitudes which
identify Piedmont evolve from these same pages.

The Staff, with these factors as a basis for the construction of this yearbook,
has striven to produce a constant reminder of the activities and spirit which
have been a part of Piedmont College in 1961-1962.

The greatest benefit that can be derived from a yearbook is not in the pleasure
it brings now, but in the memories it will serve to evoke in future years. This
annual is not devoted to the past, but rather to today. The students make it
what it is, the lessons learned outside of classes, and the changing age in which
they find themselves are of utmost importance. If this thought is accomplished,
the annual will have served its purpose.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the hard work and co-
operation afforded me by the Staff.

Estella Searing,
Editor

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

"Be ye perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect," is one of the thrilling statements which has
come to us down the ages from the Master teacher of all times. My simple reflection on this eternal
truth comes out of thirteen years of welcoming freshmen at Piedmont College, giving diplomas to grad-
uating seniors, working with professors and trustees, calling on alumni, and counselling with men and
women across the nation who believe in our program of church related higher education enough to
share generously of their tithes and benevolences with us.

Since all of us are acquainted personally with the frailty of human flesh, the thought of achieving
perfection seems discouraging at times. Yet the ultimate objective of our liberal arts program is the
pursuit of excellence. We are unashamed of our God given urge to reach toward the sublime, and to
press forward with all possible speed toward the enrichment of life. We are never content with less
than our best effort, "the old college try." Moreover, a freshman's best performance of a Beethoven
sonata will not satisfy his sense of art or craftsmanship in his sophomore year, nor will his second year
accomplishments satisfy him in his junior year. Our quest for excellence is pursued steadily at our best,
and in spurts at other times.

It is tremendously inspiring to think about all the people who desire to give their best to help young
people to do their best. Parents, high school teachers, and religious leaders at home are ever eager to
co-operate with professors, chaplain, and the dean at college in opening the splendors of education for
every student pilgrim on the highway of pursuing the more excellent way.

It is equally thrilling to remember freshmen who never were ashamed of the simple religious faith
they brought to college from home, and yet they "grew in wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and
man" as they studied for four years in biology, sociology, business, and religion.

It is gratifying to remember that Piedmont College in a distinct way continues to help young people
help themselves with scholarship and work-aid programs. Every qualified person continues to have their
God -given heritage of self -development honored and accepted in our midst. There are many areas in
our world where this level of "perfection" has not been attained.

Your alma mater is understandably proud of her many sons and daughters who have made good in
life long pursuits of excellence. Businessmen, elementary-secondary and college teachers, doctors, law-
yers, ministers, missionaries, legislators in Washington and Atlanta, housewives, and all of our former
students and graduates who press on daily toward the Abundant Life, fulfill our quest of excellence.

By the grace of the Eternal One who is the Giver of every good and perfect gift, our desire at
college is to inspire and implement the quest of being perfect, "even as our Father in heaven is per-
fect."

SENIORS

THE STUDENT ASSOCIATION

As a direct and representative organ of student opinion and interest, the
Student Association can only function with the complete support of its mem-
bers. The officers spearhead the organization's concern with effective student
government through the various committees, with student social life in the
annual dances and other campus entertainment, and with athletic competition
in the inter-collegiate basketball and baseball programs. We appreciate the
cooperation of the students, faculty and administration, making this past year's
Association the success it was and extend our good wishes for the future.

COLLEGE CHOIR

The college choral program is designed with three aims. First is training.
Students with no previous training learn to carry a part, then to help weaker
members, and eventually to go out as valuable 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. The student" with ability
and a willingness to serve finds many opportunities in a small school such
as ours.

The choir toured Florida and visited several churches affiliated with Piedmont
College. This is one of the best publicities Piedmont College could ever want.

THE GAMMA CHI SOCIETY

MAKE THE MOST OF THE DAY

The Gamma Chi Society began its activities before school opened for the
fall quarter. Prior to the fall registration, the members wrote letters of welcome
to all girls planning to enter Piedmont for the first time. During the first week
of school, the Gamma Chi's joined with their brothers, the Protropians, in
welcoming and honoring the new students with a tea and cookout.

The organization has stressed its aims by presenting a program at every
meeting. One major money-making project a pizza supper was successfully
completed. The proceeds have been used for the society's projects.

THE PROTROPIAN SOCIETY

Under the leadership of Johnny Merritt, the Protropian Men's Society com-
pleted another successful year. With new members from the freshman class
and transferring upperclassmen, the society carried on its tradition of service
and camaraderie established in its long history at Piedmont. Their sister society,
the Gamma Chi's, have joined in events adding substantially to the social life
of the campus. Members of the society have been active in the Drama Club, the
Owl, the Yonahian, the Student Association, FTA, SCA, and Choir. It is the
hope of the Protropians that an increasing interest in campus activities will be
maintained at Piedmont and that the building of our college through fellowship
will remain a major goal in the mind of each new member of the society.

THE J. S. GREEN SOCIETY

This year proved to be very prosperous for the J. S. Green Society. This
includes the defeat of the Protropians in the annual basketball game by a score
which we will not embarrass them by printing.

The Greens' insuranced future success and supremacy by receiving one of
the finest groups ever initiated in the society. A factor in this acquisition was
a large party given in the early weeks of school. The society sponsored several
socials and co-sponsored with their sisters, the Theta Zeta's, the Miss Yonahian
Dance. The goal is to continue service to Piedmont College for the good of the
college and its students.
