During the late eighteen hundreds moral corruption was taking a prominent role all over the United States . A group of preachers from Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Indiana were traveling all over the country preaching against the evils of the time and looking for a place to establish an ideal town. One of the dominant leaders in this group was Mr. Jennings Demorest. Although Mr. Demorest never came to this location, the town was named for him because of his prominence in the fight against moral corruption. >/ * M \r* xaP 2SSSS 3SJE&2&R frj * Georgia Hall, boy's dormitory about 1906.

The Theta Zeta Phi Society, 1906. By 1890 Demorest could boast of the following prominent business features : Dem orest Manufacturing Company. The Demorest Bath Tub Works, Demorest Knit- ting Company, Wagon Factory, Spoke and Handle Factory, The Broom Factory, The Demorest Machine Works, Demorest Saw Frame Works, Demorest Hoop Works, and The Saddle Tree and Collar Factory. Piedmont College and Academy Big Schoolhouse on the Hill Burned about 1910 Picture made about 1909 The town was organized with a distinct moral purpose in view. The city ordinances were very strict in regard to whiskey, gambling, and pros' titution. In all deeds there was a forfeiture clause, if any of these evils were practiced on the property. 10 The Protropian Society- -1909 ,,m 4f s '* 11 Demorest has been noted for over a half a century for its comfort- able climate, pure mountain water and especially the exceedingly low death rate per capita and low incidence of diseases . There has never been an outbreak of any contagious disease. Tu- bercuh' ilio and other communicable diseases that appear in many communities are almost nonexistent in Demorest. 12 J. S.

The following Piedmont College facts were reported by President James E . Walter to GFIC, telling their own historic story: 1967-68 % Increase Vital Statistics 1947-48 1. Enrollment 282 2.

In 1948, Cartoonist Ripley described Piedmont College as the only four -year liberal arts college in America that did not have a single building which was designed as a College facility. A two -story mule barn was the classroom building. A four -story resort hotel was the women's dormitory and the college dining room. A small two- story building purchased from the Army housed the business administration classes. An old frame house with a leaky roof was the business office and the president's head- quarters . At that time, every building and every pencil was mortgaged to the hilt. The col- lege was $167, 000 in debt. There was not even enough credit to provide crackers for the vegetable soup in October, 1949. 50 I t Mrs. Scott's water color painting of Commons Hall and old Classroom Building. Dr. and Mrs. Benjamin Scott came to Piedmont College in 1952 as Head Residents of the Women's Dormitory in Commons Hall. Dr. Scott was Professor of Religion and Drama at first, and then accepted the major responsibilities of Dean of College . This responsibility he served with distinction until his death in 1957. Mrs. Edith Scott, in addition to being Dean of Women, and having had classes in art, began her water color paintings of the old buildings on campus when here, 1952-59. She has continued to paint the buildings --both old and new --which have become treasures of art. Several of them have been photographed and are included in these pages, for Mrs . Scott's paintings tell the story of the College's growth with the perception and impart of an artist. Mrs . Scott gained national recognition in the New York Water Color Club and the American Water Color Society shows, with work exhibited at the National Art Gallery in Washington. Mrs. Benjamin Scott 51 Photographic copy of water color represents old auditorium (left corner), old gymnasium (right center), and present gymnasium (at top). Early in November, 1950, an Open House Evening for the new Gymnasium was held, with Johnny Mize, a Demorest boy and former Piedmont student, and the star first baseman of the World Champion New York Yankees, as an honored guest. In the summer of '67, certain renovations and extensive repairs were made. An open porch to the front was converted into an all-weather lobby; a new ceiling and new roof replaced the old; new lights, new windows, and clocks were installed, and a complete paint job was done. Builder and His Crew Dr. Wilton Duckett, class of '56, is both a Minister and a Dedicated Builder as Superintendent of Construction and Maintenance at Piedmont College . He is equally comfortable on the seat of a tractor, in the cab of a huge crane, or in the pulpit of a church. He has served as part time instructor of Religion and as assistant to the Chaplain on the Piedmont Faculty, and as foreman, building inspector, maintenance superintendent, and now as Superintendent of Construction. Mr. Bert Millard, Gaines- ville, Georgia, has worked closely with Dr. Duckett as the architect and advisor on the college building program . A laboring and construction crew of 16 men works regularly with Dr. Duckett on the college building program and maintenance. This figure is sizably increased with stu- dent help and specialized workmen on the construction of a new building. The senior helper on his construction crew is Mr. Howard Moss, a Negro from Cornelia, who has been the mortar -mixing and mud -coloring man for ten years on all buildings con- structed by Dr . Duckett . Dr. Wilton Duckett WKKKt^^KKW KING SCIENCE HALL 1958-68 After recognizing for many years the urgent needs of better equipment for our students of chemistry, biology and physics, we set ourselves to the task of gathering gifts from friends interested in this project. In 1956 Dr. and Mrs . Robert J . King of New Canaan, Connecticut announced that they would make $60, 000 available for this central cause of science at Piedmont. During the year we were encouraged and inspired by gifts of many friends amounting to $144,000 for this new Science project. The $6,000 given by Alumni was in- cluded and the ground level chemistry floor was named Roberts Chemistry Hall in honor of Dr. William Silas Roberts, distinguished professor of chemistry and physics for thirty -five years. Construction was begun, and the big excitement on campus during the spring and summer quarters was the fulfillment of a long-standing dream, the actual construction of King Science Hall. Biology, chemistry and physics classes met in their spic and span new classrooms and laboratories at the beginning of the fall quarter of college, September 24, 1958, the only electrically heated and electrically cooled complete science building in the state of Georgia at that date. But buildings and equipment must be kept in stride with the progressive im- petus of technology, and King Science Hall was in need of additional space and modern equipment. Again, Dr. and Mrs . King by their generosity and con- tinued interest made it possible for Piedmont College to have this modern well equipped tool of science education. Just ten years less one day --October 25, 1968 --Dr. and Mrs. Robert J. King were honored with a special luncheon at a meeting of the full Board of Trustees in a Rededication Service of King Science Hall in the interest of scientific study and research. Dr. King as Co -Chairman of the Board of Trustees, along with Mrs . King and his son and daughter were on campus for this annual meeting and Rededication Service . Over 3500 students have used this facility; seventy students have taken majors in the sciences and moved into the business world, and twice this num- ber minoring in the sciences are now using these skills in various occupations . Over 23% of the science graduates are now teaching, both in secondary schools and at the college level. Many have completed advanced graduate degrees, some in medicine; 26% are employed in the major drug and chemical industry; 12% by the state of Georgia Health Department in pre -medical professions; 10% still full time students at the graduate level, and 10% are in the military ser- vice of our country . King Science Hall recived the highest rating from both the Southern Associa- tion of Colleges and Schools and the Georgia Department of Education. This vital facility was a very positive asset in achieving accreditation in 1965. Faculty members, students and the King Family have made the past decade one of success, and the expanded King Science Hall, now fifty per cent larger, presses forward to another Decade of Service for the young men and women of Piedmont College, with sincere appreciation to Dr. and Mrs. Robert J. King. 54 fefei Mrs. Scott's drawings of the old Science Building and King Science Hall before the addition of the third floor. vs W^ M i Dt. and Mrs. Robert J.

Wallace Hall houses ninety -six men with four men living in each suite consisting of two rooms with connecting bath, four guest rooms, and two complete apartments, In addition, there is a large lounge, TV rooms, recreation area and laundry room. **: A KttUAj.

O'Neal Cave, Director of the Physical Education Depart- ment and Coach, spearheaded construction of a Golf Course, representing some 50 acres of what had formerly been the Piedmont College Farm. By the fall of 1964, all work had been completed, the greens were in playing condition, and the fairways had been grassed. The Golf Course was formally opened to the public October 15, 1964. Originally, the Athletic field was located in front of the gymnasium . In the Spring of 1963, it was transferred to an area alongside Wallace Hall, now overlooked by the Mens New Dormitory. Two all-weather Tennis Courts were constructed in the spring of 1964 at the east end of the Athletic Field. The courts represented a gift by the Alumni Association to the College at an approximate cost of $7, 500. fe*->- Daniel Hall 1965 A key facility in the College's program of qualifying for accreditation was the con- struction of Daniel Hall, a new classroom and administration building. Dedication services, honoring Fred Adams Daniel, class of 1923, in whose memory the building is named, were held October 28, 1965 on the east portico. Daniel Hall is a five -story building of red brick, with centered columned entrances in Georgia Colonial style, situated on the central knoll of the campus. It has 65, 000 square feet of space with four executive office suites, 22 faculty offices, and 20 com- plete classrooms. It provides for a possible enrollment of over 1000 students, and has a seating capacity of 600 during any one class period. The building is independently heated and air conditioned, with individual room controls . It has wall to wall carpet and is equipped with the latest and most efficient facilities .

Getman-Babcock Hall Dormitory for Women 1965 Following the dedication of the College Library in 1941, Babcock Hall was the second college -constructed building at Piedmont, completed in 1942. The Hall was named for its Donor, Miss Cora A. Babcock, a Church School teacher, of Coopers - town, New York, and accommodated 28 girls. In the early 60's, the Babcock -Getman family indicated their concern for additional dormitory space for college women, and their purpose to erect an addition to Babcock Hall. The building was ready for occu- pancy in the fall of 1965 at a basic cost of $300, 000 and carried the names of the donors . The Babcock wing had been integrated with the new unit, and today houses the faculty lounge, college infirmary with office and beds, extra guest rooms, and extra upstairs double rooms for additional students. m College Libraries: 1. Original one --right hand corner 2. E. Louise Patten- -center 3. Library expanded --top ^ (I I fi \ I College Library 1941-1966 The first mention of a Library for Piedmont College, known as the Sarah Davis Green Library, was in 1899. In 1910, Miss E. Louise Patten became the first Li- brarian, for whom the library was later renamed . The first college building was dedicated in 1941 . It represented 3, 000 square feet of floor space and provided reading space for 100 students. For twenty years the library served many dual purposes: dances, Lyceum programs, plays, and the President's Reception following Commencement activities. To remedy the problem of inadequate library facilities and holdings as judged by the American Library Association standards, an enlargement and expansion was made in 1962. A mez- zanine was added, bring the capacity of the library to 35, 000 volumes and providing enlarged floor space. In March, 1966, a further expansion and remodeling of the Library was begun. The old library was incorporated with the new half and made to blend with the Georgian Colonial design of Daniel and Getman-Babcock Halls. The building was completed for the opening of school in September, 1966. New Boy's Dormitory 't_J<|j L i~ tn :\ I LLi IT 1 World Tour Seminar --March 22 to May 11, 1968. . ademic emphasis emerged in the fall of 1967 when the faculty voted to .blish the first World Tour Seminar as presented by the Chairman of the Social Sciences Division, [Dr. Arthur O. Rinden. Twelve students enrolled for this first tour of 49 days around the world. One of the highlights was a morning visit (April 29) with Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, a former student of Piedmont Academy, in the living room of the President's Resi- dence of the Republic of China, Taipei, Taiwan. ^"""^SHU n. ' "' u*" fo, ^, m\K9 11 B I Kj W a Em 'fr&'tfh Student Center Colonial Chapel COLONIAL CHAPEL The Chapel will be located between the Classroom building (Daniel Hall) and King Science Hall, facing the main highway . It will be at the heart of our college community, even as Christ is the Cornerstone of our Faith. Ground- breaking for the new Chapel is planned around March 1, or possibly at the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees the middle of February . STUDENT ACTIVITIES CENTER Drawings are on the planning board now (January, 1969) for a new Student Activities Center and Dining Hall, which will be located along the road over- looking Demorest Lake (present location of the Rogers House), and will com- plete the quadrangle of the campus . ACADEMIC GROWTH AND STRENGTH through Endowed Faculty Chairs. 1968 --Received Fuller E. Callaway Faculty Chair in field of Religion. Need: A $300,000 gift to endow each Faculty Chair in the following studies: English, History, Business Administration, Biology, Chemistry, Education, Psychology, Spanish, Physical Education, and Philosophy . 63 Eager and industrious students, dedicated and talented teachers, concerned and generous friends of Christian education, all combine to make up the every day splendor of a growing edge at Piedmont College . Since the strength and growth of a gift -supported college depends on the financial support of its alumni and other friends, the steady increase in giving current funds and legacies speaks volumes of encouragement for the future . College graduates of today on the average, according to a report from the United States Department of Labor, will earn over $100, 000 more during their life time than they would have earned as a high school graduate . The future will be even brighter as graduates at Piedmont College stand on the shoulders of inherited greatness and provide even finer opportunities of academic and spiritual growth for each new generation of college students . 64 Officers of the Student Association Bob Duckworth, Vice president Rob Geis, President Jane Smith, Secretary ' Jeanette Dickson, Treasurer mmp The Protropian Society Paul Armbruster Sumner Barr Richard Barsh David Carswell Les Cole Prachuab Dechawan Doug Dinkelo John Ennis Kurt Forstrom Robert Frady Tom Frame Henry Gartrell Jim Giblin Frank Gollinelli Jack Green Ronald Hayden Few Hembree Nick Holub Ronald Irvine Charles Jaegar Edward Krynicki Gary Kuchinski Kenneth Kleven Glenn Lerch, President Richard Lester Daniel Marconi David McDaniel Chris Miller Phil Murray Ronald Niebaum Lamar Oglesby James Powell Kenneth Robb Dorsey Stancil James Stuart Brian Sullivan Colby Tilley Robert Tougas Gerald Vailliancourt Dennis Wagner Fred Wilcox Charles Young William Rankin Richard Koch Frank Marino Linda Allred Carole Armstrong Marcia Baskin Lynda Bush Ellen Callahan Kathy Cave Diane Ceechini Judy Coco Evie Crandell Sue Curtis Candy Eagle Linda Fisher Annette Gilpatrick Jane Higdon Ricie Johnson Kathy King Dale Lieber Dana Moore Mary Reilly Stacie Roll Christi Rowland Gayle Smith Jane Smith Donna Tallarico Dee Vail La Reine Verchot 68 Gamma Chi Ideals Glenn Lerch Brian Sullivan 70 AAft THE J.

Thank you, Dr. and Mrs . Walter. 1% Mjftt I. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Our current year at Piedmont College is one of the best in the history of the college. It has been a season of steadfast loyalty to the established principles of Christian higher ed- ucation at a time when confusion and violence have interrupted and handicapped the serious students at colleges and universities through- out the land . At Piedmont College, we have been strengthened with many generous gifts for buildings and endowment funds at a time when many private colleges have been weakened and closed by inflationary costs and reduced con- tributions . I share the enthusiasm of our faculty in noting the overall high caliber and fine char - acter of the student body . The industry and purposefulness of our young men and women has been reflected in various ways, especially by the increasing numbers who have taken ad- vantage of the college's distinctive offer of un- limited tutoring services without extra charge. Once again, it was interesting and encourag- ing to learn that every student who used these tutoring services regularly succeeded in earn- ing a passing grade. I am understandably proud of our faculty . They are well equipped academically and thoroughly dedicated to the principles of Christian higher education . In a year like this when turmoil and trag- edy have torn asunder colleges and universi- ties across our great land, it was reassuring to have our Board of Trustees re -state our convictions on Individual Freedom and Res- ponsibility. "Piedmont College proudly affirms its be- lief in and support of the philosophy of Indivi- dual Freedom and Responsibility. Academic freedom is not academic license, and the right to criticize and protest is not the right to disrupt or to interfere with the freedom of others ." "Piedmont College is committed to a gov- ernment of laws and not of men . It is the right of any citizen to criticize, to protest and to attempt to change the law in accord with constitutional procedures . It is not his right, however, to disregard or disobey the law even under the excuse of his own con- science." The prospect for the future look bright . I prophesy that our college in the foothills of the Appalachians will continue "to grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." James E .

Box 101 Mountain City, Georgia Donna Zimmerman 1702 Euclid Avenue Syracuse, New York The YONAHIAN staff has endeavored to publish a Year- book that will be cherished for the memories it repro- duces and we hope that the book will be meaningful now and in the years to come. In the 1969 YONAHIAN we have tried to show the heritage of the past and traditions set for the future . Without the cooperation and encouragement of friends, students, staff members, and our faculty advisor, Miss Edna Holcomb, this book would surely not be. Truly, there are too many to thank- -too many to list here. It would be ingratitude on the part of the staff, however, if we did not thank Mrs . Alma Smith for lending us material from the Archives Room of the Library, and Mrs . Esther Byerly for her many hours of research. Dorsey Stancil 144 awJD IS timxBk i' m
