The Editors' Message

The golden Mayflower atop the Piedmont College
steeple is a symbol of the courage, patience, and faith
our forefathers brought with them to frontier America. As
time progressed, changes were made in the landscape
as well as in the spiritual and physiological needs of the
Pilgrim fathers. These changes were made in order to
survive. Without them, all may have perished.

Piedmont College Administration, Students, and Faculty
members view the Mayflower with high aspirations and
recognize the ideals the Pilgrims posessed. However, we
must look further than these ideals in order to continue
as a college in the future. We must realize, just as every
settler realized when they came to this vast land, that
changes must be made as time goes on. Nothing can re-
main constant; sameness causes withering; withering
brings on death. Adaption is a natural process of man.
Without it, one may cease to exist.

This is why we selected the theme of Love, Friendship,
and Trust for the 1972-73 Yonahian. With these three ele-
ments, people can begin to break down false barriers
within themselves and work as one entity together instead
of several working against each other. Possibly dissen-
sion, discrimination, unrest, and insincerity would dis-
appear. We must work together "United we stand,
divided we fall."

ADMINISTRATION

The President's Message

Every new year is a season for writing a new record. Even as a Professional baseball pitcher
writes a revised career history with every pitch, students and faculty write their up-to-date collegiate
history with every term paper, every social event, and every work-aid experience. Each day offers
a fresh page of life, and by the grace of God, our personal efforts to learn and achieve are multiplied
by Divine Growing Power. Steadily we accelerate our disciplined abilities to produce more satisfying
results during the course of a year.

As I think over the events of the 1972-73 academic year, I am happily impressed by the feeling
on the part of students and faculty that this has been a good year. A variety of students and faculty
have shared experiences with me that led me to feel that we shall be hearing from them in the near
future as youthful leaders in education, business, social services, medicine, community services,
and church leadership. Only an ounce of imagination is required to prophesy that they will be construc-
tive and desirable citizens wherever they live.

I am deeply grateful to the faculty members and staff who have tackled the job of another Self-Study
with craftsmanship, good will, and indefatigable determination to succeed again in meeting and ex-
ceeding the standards of accreditation. Likewise, I am profoundly grateful for the spirit of cooperation
among the officers of the Student Government who are doing their pari to help their Alma Mater
in strengthening and carrying forward the standards of excellence.

My reflections of the year are summarized for me in the encouraging and inspiring words ot the
Apostle Paul, who wrote to the Philippians (4:8) "In conclusion my brother, till your minds with those
things that are good and deserve praise: things that are true, noble, pure, lovely, and honorable

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION

tn College is a small world of students whose lives are centered about (fie campus:
a world within a world. This small world is filled with countless daily happenings, some
of which we live, others we hear about, but, to those outside our world, these happenings
go unknown and unnoticed. The students' removal is more mental than physical; it is
a sort of preoccupation with studies and dates and campus activities and just lite in
general.
The Student Government Association, whose job it it to help create this world within
world would like to thank every student, faculty member and administrator who has
Melped us this past year. We feel that it has been a very successful one. We succeeded
^^ everything we tried and are very happy with the 1972-73 year

BASKETBALL

This has been a year that my faith in American Youth has been revitalized.

I have had the privilege of associating with as courageous, tenacious, and
determined group of young men as I have observed in 30 years of coaching.

When the phrase "It isn't whether you win or lose, but how you play the
game" was coined, the basketball team of 1972-1973 could have been the inspira-
tion.

Now that the 1972-1973 season is drawing to a close, I would like to
take this opportunity to thank Coach Cave and the Lions for a most inter-
eesting season. We haven't won any games in the past two seasons. Be-
cause of this, we hold the all time NCAA College record for losing games.

I agree with Coach Cave that the record is not something we should
be ashamed of or embarrassed about. Out ballplayers gave 100 percent
in all the games they've played. The Lions have two more games left this

year and with some luck we might win one of them.

I'm sure I speak for all of the faculty and students at Piedmont College
when I say thank you for giving 100 percent while representing all of us
from Piedmont College."

Where the Rainbow Ends by Richard Rive

Where the Rainbow ends

There's going to be a place brother,

Where the world can sing all sorts of songs.

And we're going to sing together, brother,

You and I,

Though you're white and I'm not,

It's going to be a sad song, brother,

Because we don't know the tune,

And it's a difficult tune to learn,

But we can learn, brother, you and I.

There's no such tune as a black tune

There's no such tune as a white tune

There's only music, brother,

and it's music we're going to sing

Where the Rainbow ends.

or never more again . . .
