The hard work, effort, time and cooperation which have been given me by my staff, our advisor, students and faculty have proven to be of the utmost value in compiling this annual. There were times when we were rushed and great pressure was put upon our shoulders in order to meet a certain deadline, but as a unified and cooperative group, we each took part of this bur- den and with sound advice worked together and set up each page ready for publication. It is, therefore, with sincere gratification that I wish to say "thank you" to each of you who so willingly cooperated, and to hope that each page of this annual will produce the realities of Piedmont of which each one of us has been a part. June Bottcher, Editor 'DecUcattott For the past fourteen years, those boys who have participated in the athletic activities have found themselves to be so fortunate as to have been trained and disci- plined under the well guided hand of Coach O'Neal Cave. The long, hard hours of drilling, training and discipline have, must, and will continue if a Grade "A" team is to be produced. Only by the efforts and teaching of a well -trained person can any team of boys be expected to learn the basic fundamentals and rules of any game. It is, therefore, that the 1963 Yonahian is dedicated with best wishes and thanks to you, Coach Cave, for the guidance, discipline and excellent training which you have given our boys. 0"7feit &u>e 1 / U4*ti In a nearby county, early one evening, toward the end of the summer of 1962, just two weeks before college began, two strong men were operating two giant bulldozers as a team: One cut into a propane gas main, the other was cut down by the poisonous spray. One ran up the hill, and was saved. The other ran away naturally down the hill and was caught by a wind which runs faster than a well disciplined athlete. Bob Lyon quietly and modestly carried on a number of humble and personal services for friends who needed a helping hand. Even though he was a man of outstanding physical power, he never misused his strength to hurt the weak or to embarrass the timid. He was a rugged competitor on the baseball diamond, and he lived joyously and abundantly in the spirit of fair play in all of life's relationships. His citizenship in our midst was of the highest order. To us at Piedmont College his memory will ever be as bright and fresh as the grass in springtime. ^oflett cUvt*t ^Cf&4, DR. W. J.

KING Box 554 New Canaan, Connecticut s4dHuti4t>iitco*t, ^acuity The story of our current college year, like the pages of American and World History for these days through which we have walked most recently, turns in no small way around the events associated with the Cuban crisis. Even though I was not on campus when the naval blockade and call for reservists were announced by our government, the serious responses of our own student body to these alarming world conditions came to me through letters from home, conversations with parents of our students, and direct reports from faculty colleagues. One of our own seniors, born near Havana, managed to keep in touch with her kinfolk during these difficult times; like- wise she helped us sense the picture and magnitude of our relationships with the freedom loving people of Cuba. Whether our families lived in metro- politan areas or in towns as rural as Demorest, we all sensed the terror of atomic warfare. If the giant nations of a foolish neighbor had triggered the dropping of an A-Bomb, few of us could have expected to escape the fury unleashed on all mankind. Once again, however, we thank God for the reign of reason and the prevailing peace which has enabled us to carry forward our personal plans to be better world citizens. For each of us the year has had some def- inite and glorious punctuation marks of new experiences. In October or November at the peak of the international crisis the new experience may have been "learning to pray harder and with a mature understanding of God. " It may have been "meeting the boyfriend who became my husband. " It may have been helping with the renovation of the library or some other service which contributed to the college's hopes and expectations of be- coming a member of the Southern Associ- ation soon. It may have been "the discovery of my interest in science" in one of our laboratories at King Science Hall. It may have been "the fun of finding myself in the speech class" in the new language labor- atory. It may have been "the thrill of my first formal dance. . " Whatever your highlight of the year may have been, we all had a good feeling down deep that it has been a good year for us all "Where the Georgian Hills grow purple, In the sunset glow. .

It provides support for the students on current issues facing the school. It works for the students to provide a better and more equitable atmosphere in which to live and work.

Ocd The Owl is a student publication, in which the Editor and Business Manager are elected each spring by a vote of the student body. The staff members work voluntarily contributing their services to increase the quality of the paper. Published monthly, the Owl represents the students and the school through clear and concise reporting. It serves to increase staff members' knowledge of journalism and publishing. It servies also to keep the whole student body informed of the important issues around them. 50 Torch Club is an honor society for Piedmont women. The re- quirements are (1) a B average, (2) participation in extracurricular activities, (3) character beyond reproach and (4) the completion of three years' work at Piedmont. The symbol of the club is a flaming torch inscribed with Sigma, Omega, Phi. Sigma is the initial letter of a Greek word for character, phi, for philosphia--the love of learning, and omega, for ophelia or service. Each commencement, the Torch Club presents an award to the girl it chooses as Freshman of the year. It also maintains a loan fund, to which Piedmont girls may apply. Mrs. C. L. Percy is the able sponsor. She was professor of languages at Piedmont for many years and has been the leader of Torch since 1936. The Torch Breakfast at her house is a Com- mencement tradition at Piedmont. The Torch Club holds forth the ideal of scholarship and service.

Under the able leadership of President, Judy King and her cabinet: Vice-President, Carolyn Shedd, Secretary, Janet Donstan, Treasurer, Mary Etta Gray, and Chaplain, Vivian Poole, the society began its 1962-63 year by being on hand to greet the new students on campus. The "Welcome tea" and "get acquainted" picnic for new women students, the traditional Induction Ser- vice of new members, basketball and softball games with the Theta Zetas, as well as many other me- morable Gamma Chi events will long be among the cherished memories of our days at Piedmont.

The society stands to help its members to increase these two potentials, thereby benefiting the school and later community and world. At present, its members are engaged actively in almost every activity and organization on campus. Yet with this record, its members work even harder to maintain the highest possible scholastic averages. The Society keeps up an active, clean competition with its rival society, while at the same time working with them on projects to benefit the school. The Protropian Society also works with many other organizations on campus to help in the building of our college. Through fellowship and service the Protropian Society hopes to remain a major element in the advance- ment of Piedmont College. 53 THIRD ROW, L-R: Laura Crawford, Tommie Fountain, Edna Holcomb, Jane Fry, Barbara Cleveland, Sandi Benjamin, Laverne Church, Marte Turpin, SECOND ROW, L-R: June Boucher, Brenda Pardue, Carol Adams, Cobina Mullins, Kay Harrington, FIRST ROW, L-R: Chris Tatum, Linda Purcell, Jean Taylor, Brenda Dunn, President, Carol Epperson. "Love, Idealism, Friendship. " These are the words symbolized in the Theta Zeta Phi Society. When a girl becomes a member of the society, she takes a pledge to uphold the words symbolized in the name and promises to use these words as her guiding light during her years at Piedmont. The Theta Zeta Phi is a social, literary, and service organization. Throughout the year, events and activities are planned for the en- joyment of the society and for the entire student body. As the society grows, more and more accomplishments are certain to come with the future. And a girl will be proud to say -- "I'm a Theta Zeta." 54 Through a definite reorganization of the Delta Alpha Omega Society, initiated by our President, Gary Co- ker, we have had a closely knit, well organized literary society. Our advisor, Mr. William McCullough, has given us sound backing and con- tinous help in the many activities we have undertaken, and success- fully completed . One of the many dances we gave for all the students of Piedmont was the Harvest Moon Ball in the Cor- nelia Community House. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the professional dance music and singing of the Holi- days. At the gala occasion Miss Helen Andrews from Hartwell, Georgia, was crowned Queen. This year our society has found the student body very co-operative and enthusiastic in going to the functions we have planned for their richer enjoyment of these college years. We are striving as never before to promote Piedmont College and to give its students a chance to work and co-operate with one another in good fellowship.

The Future Teachers of America is a student branch of the National Education As- sociation. It functions to serve those planning to become teachers. It gives them train- ing which will help them later in working with the National Education Association. With discussion such as problems faced when teaching, speakers who describe the many facets of the teaching profession, this organization's programs are designed to better acquaint the student with the practical aspects of teaching as well as the theory. It also serves to try to influence more young people to join the teaching profession, which everyone feels is of the highest importance in our American way of life. 60 STANDING, L-R: Barbara Middleton, Marie Cabe, Brenda Dunn, Rebecca Crump, Lewis Miller, President, Dr. Harold Lerner, Advisor, Jean Taylor, Bill Fry, Glenda Laners, Henry Coker, Jane Ferguson, Linda Chambers, Edna Holcomb, KNEELING, L-R: Don Whipple, Don Richmond, Melvin Carter. The International Relations Club was organized chiefly to act as an organization for synthesizing the many facets of modern life which are difficult for one human being alone to understand. It also trys to bring international affairs closer to the minds of the students by promoting open and varied discussion during its meetings Speakers, debates, and socio-dramas also form a part of the year's program. Probably the two biggest events of the year sponsored by the International Relations Club are: (1) celebration of United Nations Day, and (2) the sponsoring of an Inter- national Festival Week. .

The Young Republican Association, recently organized on the Piedmont campus, serves chiefly to help students become better acquainted with the way in which our country is governed. It spotlights issues on a non-partisan basis as well as a partisan basis. It gives many students a chance to discover the practical aspects of politics by helping in various campaigns of political candidates. This is its chief service to the students. 62 L-R: Bill Barks, Janet Donstan, Glenn Utt, George Gibson, Lewis Miller, Tommie Fountain, Karen Hodecker, Barbara Middleton, Chris Tatum. @6a&i 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 event- ually to go out as valuable members of church choirs in their home communities. Sec- ondly, 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 college such as ours. 63 STANDING, L-R: Judy Hassell, Kathy Ahlers, Barbara Middleton, Larry Rancourt, Don Whipple, Brenda Dunn, Bill Barks, FRONT ROW, L-R: Elaine Fung, Glenn Utt, Janet Donston. 'PtbpUtK PeMov46tfr This year, it was decided to break the Student Christian Association into demonina- tional groups. The Pilgrim Fellowship has taken an active part in the religious activi- ties on campus, and has been responsible for several social activities, as well as the "Festival of Lights" Communion Service, which is traditionally held on Maundy Thursday. The "P. F. " holds as its objectives, the objectives of the National Pilgrim Fellow- ship, which are to: Promote a free Christian Way of Life among the youth of our country; Unite all Congregational young people in Worship, Fellowship, and Service; Develop the spiritual qualities and leadership of youth and convey our ideas to the Word in Christian Action. 64 ' ' ;^ L-R: Rev.

(2lu& The Canterbury Association is a national organization sponsored by the Episcopal Church and open to all Piedmont Students regardless of demonination. Meetings are held weekly at the Calvary Church Parish House in Cornelia, Ga. Through the able leadership of the local Canterbury Chaplain, the Rev. Milton H. Murray, and two very worthy advisors, Mr. and Mrs. George Rountree, the Canterbury Association certainly has enjoyed a variety of interesting programs. These include a number of programs at St. Philips Cathedral in Atlanta; Joint meetings with other Can- terbury groups in the state; the presentation of a Chancel Drama on Ash Wednesday; and in April there will be delegates from the Piedmont Canterbury Association who will attend a Diocesan Canterbury Conference at Camp Michael in Toccoa. We wish to express our deep appreciation to all who gave us the necessary support to carry out our endeavors. 65 TOaUace ^ I Coker gets elbow 74 \l !
