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."

Many of the graduates will leave a permanent mark in the fields of education, business, government, research, sociology, or will be renowned for their contributions to society as they continue to illustrate the value of higher education at institutions such as Piedmont College. The graduates of 1962 have experienced great growth with their college. The completion of Wallace Hall, King Science Hall, the enthusiasm of the societies, and the expansion of the curriculum all have taken place during the college life of this year's graduates.

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. 58 BUDGET COMMITTEE DEAN WEITMAN DAVID PHILLIPS JOHNNY MERRITT RECREATION COMMITTEE GAYLE SMITH JEANETTE HOUSEN SANDRA PARTRIDGE BILLIE BOLING Mfc f" LEFT TO RIGHT: Cathy Crandall, Lee Reynolds, Judy King, Donald Whipple, Desiree Robinson E.

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. 62 T. C. DeVORE C. L JOHNSON, JR.
