Prayer for Guidance

Dear God,

Please teach me to remember

Life is beautiful, is gay;

That somewhere in each moment

Of every dreary day

There lies one ray of sunshine

That I'm too blind to see,

That somewhere is an answer

To pain and misery.

Please teach me to be patient

Of things not understood;

And know that all life's workings

Can be a power for good.

Let me love my neighbor,

No matter what he be,

For such is all Your teaching

To all who would be free.

Please give me will to follow
In the footpaths You have trod,
And let my eyes be opened
To brotherhood in God.
Let my heart be humbled
By faith my brothers share,
For creeds should never matter
When men are met in prayer.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

by James E. Walter

My heartiest congratulations to the Class of 1980. As we enter the decade of the 1980's, we turn with high hopes to the
future and among our brightest hopes are the young men and women of your class who have successfully earned their
degrees at Piedmont College.

As I talk with young men and women who seek the best way to make their contribution to life, I recall many of you
of the Class of 1980 who have contributed much to our College life and whose later careers I shall follow with deep
interest.

Among the many high lights of your years at Piedmont College, I recall that your freshman class (1976) was the largest
class of incoming students in the history of the College! That meant that Piedmont was continuing to meet a very real
need in the lives of young people by providing a quality education in a Christian environment. It meant also that Piedmont
College must continue to find additional resources to provide for the academic needs of this greater number of young
people.

I am happy to report that this was accomplished through the sensitive and concerned friends of the College who joined
with the faculty, staff, and trustees in meeting the increased needs and insuring the future of the College. In 1977, Piedmont
College was able to accomplish its long-sought goal when its Endowment Fund Campaign went over the top of the $1.5
million goal, thereby matching on a two-for-one basis the generous gift of $750,000 from an anonymous donor. I am deeply
grateful to God and to every donor who had a part in this beautiful miracle for our College. These permanent endowment
funds will produce essential income throughout the future for the enrichment of the young people who will follow you
in seeking to "know the truth" which makes them free.

Another high light which I recall from your years at Piedmont was your response as a part of our student body to the
tragedy which struck our neighboring college at Toccoa Falls. Never shall I forget that morning when representatives
of the Student Government Association approached me to request the privilege of inviting everyone at our regular
Wednesday morning chapel service to share in a free-will offering for the relief of our unfortunate friends at Toccoa
Falls College who had been the victims of the raging flood torrent. Here in our College, indeed, was God-inspired
compassion at work! Your response was tremendous. We had known the young men and women of Toccoa Falls College
as fellow students. Now we knew them also as persons who, facing bitter losses, nevertheless continued to sing their
faith with confidence.

As I move around the country, I am proud to tell our supporters of the College choir and musical ensemble. It was a
member of your class, also, who organized the volunteer group of young men and women who provided us with several
chapel numbers as well as evening -concerts. We shall always remember this joyous group of young people who took
the name, "Joy Explosion," and their leader, Wendy Hawks. It was a member of your class, also, who put Piedmont
College on the map when Martha Kelly, as Piedmont's 1978 Homecoming Queen, represented Georgia at the Orange
Bowl Festival in Miami in 1978. I am proud that we have in Martha a person chosen to represent the College on the
basis of academic achievement, extracurricular activities, personal interests, and good grooming. She is every inch the
young woman we delight to help to acquire a college education. I am proud that for four years she served in my office
as student secretary. I am also proud that as a class you elected her as your president for the coming years in the Alumni
Association.

During your class's years at Piedmont, in 1977, womens' interscholastic basketball was reinstated after an interim period
of 25 years! The Lady Lions have since well earned the reputation as one of the outstanding teams of Northern Georgia.
During those years mens' basketball also has brought Piedmont glory, and during your freshman year advanced the farthest
in the conference and district tournaments in the history of the College.

During your Class's years at Piedmont, the College faculty and administration underwent inevitable changes. On February
25, 1979, you shared our sorrow in the passing of Mrs. Edith Scott, who had been so long artist-in-residence and who
had made her home in Getman-Babcock Residence Hall. One year later we dedicated in the College Library a number
of panels for the display of art work, the gift of her son as a memorial to his mother.

Your Class saw the departure of Dean Jodie L. Burton and his lovely wife, one of our alumnae, and of our Registrar
for many years, Dr. John Ben Ayers. They were happily replaced in 1978 by Dr. Mary C. Lane, as Dean, with whom
many of you had studied professional education; and Mr. Nolan Nix, as Registrar. Many of you also knew and loved
Dr. Mary L. Griggs, professor of mathematics, who retired in 1978 after many years of service at Piedmont College.

As President of Piedmont College, now for more than 30 years, I feel humble and grateful for the role Mrs. Walter and
I have had in working together for society's enrichment through the dedicated labor of Christian young people who have
matured under the discipline of four years at Piedmont College. I am grateful to all the churches and individuals who
support us financially. Most of all I am grateful for the opportunity God provides for spiritual growth, social maturity,
and academic achievement for all who come to Piedmont College and who are receptive to its teachings.

May God richly bless you in the coming years and may you remember us at Piedment College with the affection we
feel for each one of you.

This life is like a journey and the roadway twists
and bends - and we fall in with strange companions,
unexpected friends, that go with us a little way then
pass out of our sight - all links that make our
destinies, then fade in to the night ... So when
we form acquaintances it's up to us to see - we leave
them just a little better for our company - give them
kind works to recollect, thoughts that uplift and
bless - let them back without a single thought of
bitterness ... So find some fellow-traveler that you
can love and trust - who'll go with you through sun
and rain, through heat and storm and dust -
Someone to help you on the way, a good and
faithful friend - and hand in hand you'll travel gaily
to your journey's end.

And the girls. Suzi, Cheryl, Connie, Susan, Kim, Martha and Teresa.

Cuba. The same program was
performed at Rabun and
Habersham High Schools and
selected numbers were also
performed on Latin Atlanta
'80 on WAGA TV in Atlanta.

In November, 1979, the Span-
ish Folklore Group presented
a fine Christmas program
which included many popular
Christmas songs and also
some of the same numbers
from the International Din-
ner.

Keep up the good work, Ms.

Piedmont

The Caretaker, Harold Pinter's
masterpiece, was performed at
Piedmont on October 19th and
20th by the nationally acclaimed
Academy Theater of Atlanta.
This two day program included a
performance on Friday evening,
and on Saturday morning, two
workshops were offered. One
was for general interest, present-
ed at student level, and the other
was a special interest workshop
for adults with some experience
in drama and for those who work
with youth in dramatic produc-
tions. The Caretaker, a story
about three hilariously eccentric,
yet mysterious characters, super-
bly combines tantalizing su-
spense with exquistite humor to
produce vastly entertaining
theater. The performances were
presented with the assistance
from the Ga. Council for the Arts
and Humanities, the National
Endowment for the Arts and the
federally sponsored Special Ser-
vices Project at Piedmont Col-
lege.

On May 2, 1980, Miss Marion Cawood performed a
vocal recital in the Chapel at Piedmont. Marion
Cawood has won acclaim throughout the country for
her recitals and performances with such orchestras
as the Nashville Symphony, Little Rock Symphony,
Kingsport Symphony, Jackson Symphony and the
Lexington Symphony. A winner of numerous
contests, Miss Cawood won first place in the
Metropolitan Opera District Auditions for two
consecutive years. She is presently an artist in
residence and vocal instructor at David Lipscomb
College in Nashville, Tenn. Miss Cawoods recital at
Piedmont included songs by Johannes Brahms,
Richard Strauss, Charles Ives, and others.

On Wednesday, Oct. 17, David Pengelly, guitar and
vocalist, presented a concert in Jenkins Auditorium.
David Pengelly, an entertainer in the classic sense of the
word, made his sixth appearance at Piedmont. A native
of Bergen, in upstate New York, Pengelly now calls
Atlanta his home. His concert at Piedmont brought to the
college his unique style of sensitive ballad, broadway
show tunes, country and western as well as the best of
contemporary music. Pengelly's versatile use of acoustic
guitar, electric guitar, banjo, and harmonica to accompany
his rich baritone voice and dynamic stage personality
afford something for everyone's taste in music.

Lyceums

Joy Explosion, a secular choir
organized and directed by
Wendy Hawks, performed an
assortment of musical numbers at
a concert given in the school
chapel on Wednesday, May 21.
The program consisted of songs
that satisfied a variety of musical
tastes. The concert included
several solos, duets, quartets,
men and womens' girls choir and
Joy Explosion. The first half of
the program consisted mainly of
traditional and pop songs, while
the second half was directed
more toward country and gospel.
Alan Charles, Tim Little, Doug
Vermilya and Keith Nuckolls, a
gospel quartet, brought the house
down with their version of two
gospel favorites. The program
ended with a medley from the hit
movie "Grease". The group was
organized with the purpose of
allowing students with musical
talents and desires to work
together and delight others with
their enthusiasm, abilities and
love for music. Judging from the
audience's response, they have
succeeded with their purpose!

The Chamber Choir is a select group of students from the
Womens' Resident College and the Communtiy College of
Brenau College. The Chamber Choir has received an
ever-increasing reputation for precise performances with
sensitivity and understanding. Their repertoire includes music
from the major periods of music. The director was Mr. David
Lee Johnson, an associate Professor of Fine Arts at Brenau
College. The choir performed a variety of numbers ranging from
sacred and international songs to the popular Lennon and
McCartney medley. Mr. Mark Wright, a 79 graduate of
Piedmont, was a member of this fabulous chamber choir and
we are grateful to Mark for arranging this presentation for
Piedmont and the Community members.

Piedmont College, along with the cooperation of Special
Programs, contracted with Alpha-Omega Players of the
Repertory Theater of America to present a musical
comedy "The Diary of Adam and Eve." Eight lilting songs,
humor and nostalgia combine to provide a new
perspective on the lives of the first man and first woman.
Adapted from Mark Twain's famous short story by the
same title, the play dramatizes the age-old struggle
between man and woman. It was a delightful evening of
wholesome entertainment for everyone who attended.

The Baptist Student Union is three things in one - a fellowship
of students, a program for students, and an organization
involving students. B.S.U. is sponsored by the Southern
Baptist Convention. It is supported by Southern Baptist
churches, associations and state conventions. It is composed
of people who are finding their identity through relationship
with their Creator and his Creation. They are finding
fulfillment and purpose in life through God's love.

Their fellowship is expressed on the campus in programs and
organizations; it is expressed in the community and the world
through responsible churchmanship and citizenship. They
welcome all nationalities to their club.

Every year they take a trip to Rock Eagle for fellowship with
other BSU students from around Georgia.

services. Melanie Striebich pleased everyone with her exceptional talent
at playing the clarinet and Anthony Sims did a magnificent job with his
French horn solos. Instrumental duets, trios, and quartets were also played
by the above instrumentalists. Mr. Boggess should be commended on his
fine job with the Piedmont band and choir.

The 1980 Piedmont College Chapel Choir
performed regularly for the Chapel services
held every Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. The
choir, under the direction of Mr. Ralph
Boggess performed a variety of sacred tunes,
many times accompanied by Debbie Grant
with the flute or Abe Harris on the drums.
Wendy Hawks helped out with the direction
of the choir at times. Besides being the
principle pianist for the choir, Mr. Boggess
also plays the organ for the Chapel and
Vespers services. The Chapel choir also
performed a special all-musical vespers
service once each quarter. In the Spring
quarter, the Chapel choir and Debbie Grant
took a short tour to Alabama and Florida. On
the tour, the choir put on a short musical
program at various churches at night and the
choir sang in the church service in Tallassee,
Florida. Overnight accomodations were taken
care of by members of the churches and
everyone went home with the church
members. I'm sure it's a trip many of the choir
members will never forget.

The International Students Association of Piedmont
College is made up of sixteen students representing
seven countries of the world. The seven countries
are Ghana, Malasia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Mexico,
Japan and Haiti. The group participates in cultural
and recreational programs during the year, such as
a hike in the mountains, a picnic and cultural
exchanges. Cultural exchange is the relating of one's
country and culture to a group of people. Nta
Henshaw and Jide Aremu told about their country,
Nigeria; it's geographies, it's cultures and societies.
It is hoped that eventually everyone in the
International Students Association will relate
something about their country. This not only helps
to build the confidence of the foreign students but
it also broadens their views about other countries
and helps them with the English language. Mr.
Nolan Nix is the faculty advisor.

The Piedmont College Spanish Honor Society

is a society made up of a group of students who

receive an A or B average in their Spanish

courses for two consecutive quarters. It also

consists of the Spanish majors and minors and

some very special people who are honorary

members. Such members are Mark Wright,

who played piano in the Spanish programs for

the last five years, Richard Lusk, who always

was willing to help the Spanish Dept. anyway

he could, and Donnie Hitt, who has been the

master of ceremony at many of our Spanish

programs the past few years. Officers are

elected by the Spanish Honor Society every

year and so is a Miss Spanish Honor Society.

This years Miss Spanish Honor Society was

Miss Debbie Meeks and Mr. Spanish Honor

Society was Mr. David Friend. The Spanish

Honor Society officers were: Wendy Hawks -

President; Wesley Davis - Vice President; and

Suzi Rice - secretary. The Spanish Honor

Society is not to be confused with the Spanish

Folklore Group, which performs the many

fantastic programs throughout the year, even

though they both contain many of the same

members. The Spanish Honor Society holds a

brunch during break or a Spanish lunch

(usually tacos or pastel de came) at least twice

a year for its members to enjoy.

Theta Zeta Phi Society

The Theta Zeta Phi Society is an organization in which the girls
at Piedmont have the chance of being a part of. Each Fall
Quarter, there is a pledgeship which every new member must
go through. This gives the girls a chance to get to know each
other. The pledges are then inducted into the society as full
fledge sisters. During the year the group works hard to earn
money for a trip to Florida after Spring Quarter. This past year
the big money-earner was the Gong Show. The Theta Zeta's
sold tickets and gave away a television set as the door prize.
There were also prizes for the winners of the show. The Theta
Zeta's provide a place for the girls to be part of a family while
at College. It gives them "sisters" they can go to with problems
or just when they need a friend. The main purpose of this
organization is to support and promote "Friendship". For that
is one of the most important lessons you learn at College. How
to build and keep a good friendship. The Theta Zeta's would
like to give this prayer to each of you.

Lord, help me live from day to day, In such a self-forgetful way.
That even when I kneel to pray. My prayer shall be for "others",
And when my work on earth is done, and my new work in
Heaven's begun, May I forget the crown I've won, while
thinking still of "others". "Others", Lord, yes, "Others". Let this
my motto be. Help me to live for others, that I may live for
Thee.

Getman-Babcock Hall

Clanton, Cindy Clegg, Sonya Chaney, Mary Montgomery, Naty Parodi, Gloria Boler, Cheryl Summers. Second
row: Joan Schenkel, Lanita Shirley, Charlene Maggard, Joanne Addison.

Rules, regulations, laws, whatever you want to call
them, the girls at Getman-Babcock Hall had their
share of them. 11:00 curfew, no men in the rec room,
15 minute phone calls (30 if long distance), a quite
dormitory at 9:00 (that means your stereo gets turned
down, Naty!), clean up the kitchen when you are
through with it, and of course, who could ever forget
the ever dreaded room inspection?

How did we do it? I guess there were some good
times, too. Remember the Christmas party? People
getting thrown in the shower? (All in good fun of
course). Fighting over the soap operas in the
afternoon. (There was always SOMEone who didn't
want to watch Another World!) Remember all the late
nights on the balcony cramming for that history or
business test we forgot all about? Or who could forget
the nights before dorm inspection? Vacuums were
running until 2:00 in the morning. (We always ran
out of Comet, too, didn't we?)

Ah, those were the days . . . The dorm is what you
make it. I think we made it pretty livable. What do
you think?

The Girls Dorm Proctors And Dorm Parents

' ' / I

Cheryl Summers, Sonya Chaney, Trudy Ingram.

The girls dorm proctors are
chosen by the girls in the dorm to
be their leaders in dormitory
matters. The proctors main re-
sponsibility was to lock up the
dorm at curfew and make sure
everyone was in. At times they
were called upon to hold a floor
meeting to inform the girls on
their floor of what was going on.
They are the girls that are looked
to for leadership, for friendship,
as well as being the confidants of
the dorm.

This was the Loftices last year as
dorm parents. They are going to
live off campus next year and we
want to wish them well. Debbie
says she enjoyed being the dorm
mother. She was a combination of
mother, sister, priest, confidant
and counselor. "It was a terrific
experience for Jerry, the kids, and
myself. I'll miss it more than I can
say." What will Debbie miss the
most next to her girls? Studying
with everyone!

Debbie and Jeremy, Jerry and
Christi Loftice.

Mens' Track

Jim Burnett, John Butler, Kim Gunter, Jon Cantrell, Ricky White, Paul King, Dr. Jesse Pierce; coach. Kneeling:
Thomas Opoku, Mike Dixon and William Ware.

In a brief but impressive ceremony
concluding the track and field meet of
the Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference at West Georgia College,
April 23rd, Piedmont College received
two outstanding awards. The Piedmont
Team was awarded an impressive
second place "Runner-up" trophy, and
it's coach, Dr. Jesse Pierce, was named
"Track Coach of the Year." Two
Piedmont stars were presented with
plaques indicating first-place finishes:
John Butler for the shot put and Jon
Cantrell for the discus throw. These
men also placed first in the District 25
competition, but was scored separately.
Senior members of the team competing
in their final college meet were John
Butler and Michael Dixon. A freshman
member of the team, Thomas Opoku of
Ghana, scored for Piedmont in the 100
meter dash and shows good promise for
the future at Piedmont College. Others
who added to Piedmont's excellent
showing were the relay team of Jimmy
Burnett, Mike Dixon, Kim Gunter, and
William Ware which placed second in
the 200 and 400 meter races; Ware, with
second place in the 880 yard run, and
Ricky White placed third in the shot
put. Several Piedmont Athletes scored
in the District count and added fourth
place points in the Conference count.

Womens' Track

Pat Copeland, Martha Kelly, Brenda Mizell, Dr. Jesse Pierce; coach, Phyllis Verdell, Laurencia Santamaria, and
Melanie Striebich.

The womens' track team at Piedmont College scored 29 points against Berry College at Barren Field in Rome
on April 9th. Berry has long enjoyed an enviable record in this sport, and was able to pit a formidable array
of talent against the women from Piedmont College. Nevertheless, the Piedmont Lady Lions did well. Two
outstanding performances marked the day for Piedmont competitors. Martha Kelly, senior, took the 100-year low
hurdles by a wide margin, placed second in the 100-yard dash and the 220-yard dash; took a second in the high
jump; and Phyllis Verdell, junior, placed second in the shot put, second in the 110-yard low hurdles, third in
the 440-yard low hurdles, third in the javelin throw. Another member of the team, Melanie Striebich, gathered
points by placing third in the 220-yard dash and in the 100-yard dash. Other events provided opportunity for
experience and recognition amongst the group.

The 1979-1980 edition of Who's Who Among Students in American
Universities and Colleges will carry the names of 15 students from
Piedmont College who have been selected as being among the
country's most outstanding campus leaders. Nominations, which
were opened at Piedmont College for the first time to members of
the Junior Class, resulted in the selection of eleven Seniors and
four Juniors at the college. Of the fifteen selected at Piedmont
College, nine are from the state of Georgia, six from out-of-state.

Campus nominating committees, composed of both faculty and

in extracurricular activities, service to the community, and future
potential. These fifteen Piedmont College students join an elite
group of students from more than 1200 institutions of higher learning
in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and several foreign nations.
Outstanding students have been honored in the annual directory
since it was first published in 1934.

The eleven Seniors selected are, from Georgia: Ray Adams of
Toccoa, Angela Anderson and Edward Ariail of Cornelia, Timothy
Cagle of Alpharetta, Gail Carr of Maysville, Martha Kelly of
Clarkesville, and Jerry Roberts of Demorest; and from out-of-state:

Virginia; Anthony Neal of Sanford, Florida; and Cheryl Summers
of Wayne, Michigan. The four Juniors are: Jonathan Cantrell of

MILITARY SCIENCE

On January 4, 1980; Military Science (ROTC) officially began at
Piedmont College. It was the result of extensive coordination between Dr.
James E. Walter (President of Piedmont College). Dr. Mary C. Lane (Dean)
and Major Dick Thomspon (University of Georgia). The program has been
well received by the students and has been steadily increasing in
popularity.

Military Science is a program that provides college-trained officers
for the U.S. Army. The Army National Guard and the U.S. Army Reserve.
The four year program consists of a two-year Basic Course and a two-year
Advanced Course. The Basic Course is normally taken during the freshman
and sophomore years. The course work includes instruction in leadership,
tactics, map reading, self defense, rifle marksmanship, mountaineering and
the Soviet threat. The Basic Course imposes no military obligation on the
part of the students and they may withdraw at any time. Students who
have taken Junior ROTC or have active duty military experience may
receive credit for the Basic Course. Piedmont College currently has four
students that have received this credit and are enrolled in the Advanced
Course.

The Advanced Course provides further instruction in leadership
development, organization and management, tactics and administration.
Advance course cadets attend a six-week Advance Camp at Fort Bragg,
N.C. between their Junior and Senior years of college. This camp permits
cadets to put into practice the principles and theories they have acquired
from on-campus classroom instruction. Cadets receive approximately
$500.00 plus travel expenses, room and board, medical and dental care,
and other benefits. In addition to this, the Advanced Course cadets receive
$100.00 (tax-free) for up to ten months a year while in the program. When
students enter the Advanced Course, they agree to finish ROTC instruction,
to accept a commission and to accept an assignment in either the Active
Army, the Army National Guard or the U.S. Army Reserve. They will serve
an active duty for three months to three years. Provisions exist so
individuals can be guaranteed assignment in the Army National Guard
or U.S. Army Reserve with an active duty for training requirement ranging
from three to six months.

In addition to the subsistence pay described above, financial assistance
is also available is the form of four-, three-, two-, and one-year
scholarships. The scholarships provide tuition, textbooks, lab fees and a
living allowance of up to $1,000.00 (tax-free) each year the scholarship is
in effect. The monitary value of the scholarship depends on the tuition
and other educational costs of the college attended.

SPECIAL SERVICES - Special services is a group designed to help students with
their education, their careers and their lives. They organize the Upward Bound
weekends, in which many students at high school level come to Piedmont for short
classes and tutoring as well as travel to various places in Georgia. Mrs. Ellen O'Neil
and Pat Austin do a very commendable job with this program and we would like
them to know we appreciate their services to the students and Piedmont.

Memories

_^r Uriend JLike ijou

Time goes on and makes its changes,
But some things remain steadfast:
Memories with thoughts and fancies
That stay with us to the last.

In the days and years to follow
None will be more sincere and true,
Than the thoughts and heartfelt wishes
For a friend like you.

Now it seems to me that every epilogue ever written always starts out with the
editor expressing his or her appreciation for all the cooperation they got while
putting the yearbook together. Well, this won't be any different, except for one
small thing. This yearbook did not have an editor. It was put out not by one
person but by many people. People like Nolan Nix, Helen Fowler, Bill Read,
Connie Stowe, Cheryl Summers, Ralph Singer, Ralph Boggess, Debby James,
Cindy Wicks, Ellen O'Neil, Pat Austin, Coach Cave, Jerry and Debbie Loftice
and the faculty of Piedmont College. I would like to thank everyone for their
patience and cooperation in helping me get this book out. I would like to
especially thank Ross Henderson, our yearbook rep, who without his help and
patience, this book could never have been completed and Dr. Mary C. Lane,
whose cooperation was very deeply appreciated. I would like to apologize to
the students, faculty and staff of Piedmont College for the tardiness of this book.
But please! Don't criticize things you know nothing of. There is an old Indian
saying that says: "Thou shalt not criticize thy neighbor until you have walked
a mile in his moccasins." It's something to think about.
