^^Bfih&^R' YONAHIAM 80 . Piedmont College Demorest, Georgia 30535 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. ^^^^H 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. m^^^M 4 i 7 tfu 1 ~- ^*W I I^B^HiA* 10 Seniors LJ o Edward Arial Angie Anderson Phyllis Beaty William Chesser " ^ 3m ^ ^_ Sheri Cooper Mark Darrough Robert Crump Nancy Deal Freddie Dalton John Derrick 13 Donna Dooley Sheryl Farmer Sheila Dyer Ralph Edwards Eunice Ferguson Myra Ferguson 14 Billy Garner Stacy Gordon Jill Hallford Janet Harbert Wayne Harrison Wendy Hawks 15 Trudy Ingram David Ivester Steve James Ruth Jean-Guillaume Chip Jones Dalva Jones 16 Mm *i > V hi- 1 ^ kl Joyce London Jan Long Thomas Lowe Richard Lusk Tim Loudermilk Randy Masters 17 3*r, ^^ fc Rhonda Mullinax Tony Neal Jeff Nunn ^ P***^ 4. iT*^ ^ J9 Joe Oliver Gayle Porter Vanessa Rumsey 18 Elton Scroggs Karen Simpson Hugh Smith Tina Tatum Lynn Taylor Steve Tench 19 W*h ~^ 1 / n Ll Pv"^ ^H^^^^fc*___i_ _^^^^^k Barry Thomas Diane Watkins 20 A *& 24 Juniors Sherry Allen Dale Andrews Nicky Beatty Wayne Beck Jesse Bonner Gwen Butts Kathy Campbell Jon Cantrell Chip Clarke Dianne Cook Tim Cowan Bill Dow Helen Fowler Kay Frankum 26 David Friend Lisa Garrett David Gibbs Sandra Gober Matt Griffin Kazuvoski Ichikawa Debby James Masoud Kashef Randy Kelly Yutaka Kide Charlotte Kimbrell David Law Jerry Lewellen Nancy Lewallen Johnny Locklair Denise Lunsford Juanita McCoy Carol Nelson Joe Nichols James Perry 27 Edward Pitts Terri Prather Gerald Pruitt Wesley Purcell Jayne Quarles Cathy Roberts Gerald Sanders Melanie Striebich Martha Jo Suggs Debbie Tench Phyllis Verdell Doug Vermilya Gary Watt Crystal Wood 28 Sophomores David Allen Sam Allen Ken Barfield Jim Barnett Sharon Baskin Darrell Beckman Mitch Beckman Doris Benfield Beverly Black Donnie Brewster Sharon Brock Brenda Broner Guy Brown Wood row Brown Susan Brown Jim Burnett Scott Campbell Ted Carpenter 30 Hal Chestnut Cindy Clegg Deborah Cole Robin Cole Jean Cooper Wes Davis Eddie Elrod Kim Ellis Susan Garrett James Gibson Kenneth Goss Beth Haney Abe Harris Mickey Haynes John Hilton Kim Hogsted Fujio Ito Larry Jameson 31 Doyle Johnson Tom Kennedy Randy Kesler Paul King Tim Little Dale Lovell Carol Martin Gary Matthews Neil McKinney Debbie Meeks Randy Miller Carey Moon Rhonda Moore Yuji Mukumoto Tarn Ngoc Nguyen Cheryl Nix Naty Parodi Margaret Porter 32 i^\ Walter Putnam Suzi Rice ^^^^B J^^*"N ^ * **^- - ^B^jr ^, ^-^ HB^^BHB h- -^ m f^f y*k an if David Rucker Greg Simms Anthony Simms Jane Simmons Connie Stowe Brain Terrell Anthony Terry i ^;> Al Thomas Danny Thomas Richard Turner Bruce Waters Steve Webb Bob Wikle Collins Willingham 33 4 .

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.

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. 70 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. 71 72 Organizations n Alpha Chi Standing: 1 to r: Randy Masters, Ray Adams, Charlotte Kimbrell, David Ivester, Sheila Dyer, Gary Watt, Helen Fowler, Mr. Donald Ryder; sponsor, Martha Kelly.

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. 75 Piedmont College Band Melanie Striebich Clarinet Debbie Grant Flute Abe Harris Drums The various members of the Piedmont College Instrumental Ensemble performed special music for many of the chapel services, the annual faculty/staff Christmas party and Honors Day Assembly. Debbie Grant accompanied the choir on their tour to Alabama and Florida; Abe Harris played his drums for the Joy Explosion concert; John May provided several sentimental numbers both in chapel, concerts and assemblies; Brian Terrell and Myra Ferguson also performed musical preludes in the morning chapel 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.

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. 77 I International Students r f , ^v 1 to r: Mr. Nolan Nix; advisor, Naty Parodi - Venezuela, Kwai Mui Chan - Malasia, Ruth Jean-Guillaume - Haiti, Nta Hensahw - Nigeria, Edward Olufelo - Nigeria, Laurencia Santamaria - Mexico, Thomas Opoku - Ghana, Jide Aremu - Nigeria. 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. 78 Joy Explosion!!! sJzPwce 6 Whitl ck ' Mitch Beckman . Becky Mumpower, Melanie Striebich, O - Tim Little, Doug Vermilya, Debbie Meeks, Cindy Shaw.

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 Standing: Joan Schenkel, Sheila Dyer, Connie Stowe, Dale Andrews, Charlene Maggard, Jackie Hitt, Phyllis Verdell, Sherry Allen. Sitting: Martha Kelly, Cheryl Summers, Kathy Smith. a 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. 85 Getman-Babcock Hall Sitting: Phyllis Verdell, Sherry Clegg, Jackie Hitt, Connie Stowe, Martha Kelly, Dale Andrews, Becky Mumpower, Jan Long, Debi Grant, Brenda Mizell, Janet Butler, Standing: Pat Copeland, Kwai Mui Chan, Laurencia Santamaria, Terresa Hubacek, Ruth Jean-Guillaume, Helen Fowler, Kim Ellis, Kathy Smith, Trudy Ingram, Sherry Allen, Shari Clanton, Cindy Clegg, Sonya Chaney, Mary Montgomery, Naty Parodi, Gloria Boler, Cheryl Summers.

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? 86 The Girls Dorm Proctors And Dorm Parents ' ' / I Cheryl Summers, Sonya Chaney, Trudy Ingram.

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!

Boy's Varsity: The boys' varsity had a season of 9 and 16. They showed ever- yone what "movin' on up" really meant. Though the season was trying, Coach O'Neil Cave led his talent- ed team to many victories. Way to go Lion's! Jr. Varsity: The Jr. Varsity basketball team had its share of plenty of tough competition. Even though their record was and 4 they tried hard in every game and showed the good ol' college try.

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. 100 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.

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.

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 members of the student body, have included the names of the fifteen students based on their academic achievement, leadership 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: Wendy Hawks of Green Bay, Wisconsin; Donnie Hitt of Culpepper, Virginia; Anthony Neal of Sanford, Florida; and Cheryl Summers of Wayne, Michigan. The four Juniors are: Jonathan Cantrell of Lithia Springs; Helen Fowler of LaGrange; William Dow of Baldwinville, Massachusetts; and Gary Watts of Templeton, Massachusetts. 108 Advertising I Martha Kelly Helping Young People To Help Themselves So They In Turn May Help Others Congratulations to all the students and faculty members who worked together for the publication of the 1980 Yonahian! We salute you with pride as ambassadors of our traditional and highly successful Scholarship and Work-aid Program at Piedmont College. May all of our graduates of this year join the great company of alumni who have found and worked into a useful and satifying place in the family of all God's children. Cheryl Summers Student Secretaries In The President's Office Elizabeth and James E. Walter Tanya Luthi no Compliments of: Dr. Mary C. Lane Dean Of The College in 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. 112 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.

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. 118 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. Wendy Hawks 122 mWALS WORTH PUBLISHING COMPANY MARCELINE. MISSOURI. USA
