PIEDMONT COLLEGE

DEMOREST, GA. 30535

Piedmont College Groduotes

Moke Good!

By

Dr. James E. Walter
President, Piedmont College

Piedmont College has been built to its present strength through the success of its graduates. They succeed
in education, in business, and in the professions. It has been my pleasure in recent months to assemble into
a book entitled. Piedmont College Graduates Make Good, a series of narratives about our successful
graduates.

My message to our friends throughout the nation is rooted in the human and divine appeal portrayed in the
New Testament. One of my special inspirations is the verse in Luke that says, "Jesus grew in wisdom, and
stature, and in favor with God and man." I believe with all my heart that this verse applies also to the young
men and women who come to Piedmont College and who leave its halls to make their mark in the world
as men and women of character and as "workmen who needeth not to be ashamed."

I believe with all my heart that people like people, especially young people, and that they are happy, as
we are at Piedmont College, to help those who need and merit the opportunity to use their divine gifts in
industry and enthusiasm to earn a first-class college education.

Thus my book is addressed to those who have given of their prayers and substance on behalf of Piedmont
College. Today Piedmont College is a member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools with full
academic stature. Its graduates are accepted gladly by graduate schools of universities throughout the nation.
The future of the College is underlined with an encouraging endowment fund, a set of modern buildings that
are debt free, and a free-enterprise spirit of faith in the Good Life among its students, faculty, and trustees

A second group to who the book is addressed are high-school young people who are in search of a high-quality,
four-year college education. Frequently young people ask me if they can expect to "make good in a big
job" if they graduate from a little college. My answer is in the narratives of this book. It is filled with the lives
of our graduates in every field, from Joe Boyd, now Justice of the Supreme Court of Florida to Billy Frye,
Vice President for Academic Affairs of the University of Michigan. My story includes Lonnie Burns, Superintendent
of Schools, Habersham County, a recent graduate, and Claude L. Purcell, an old grad who served as
Superintendent of the Schools of Georgia during difficult years.

It is my hope that this Annual, like my book, will inspire a new generation of serious and deserving young
people to enroll at Piedmont in search of a comprehensive liberal arts education. We know that our humble
efforts have produced much more than a normal percentage of leadership; we know that our education
at Piedmont produces the creative and maximum learning achievements of human endeavor. We know that
our personal associations in the classrooms, the laboratories, and the playing fields prepare eager learners
with maximum skills.

As this Class of 1982 graduates, it is my prayer that they and all our graduates past and future will
experience in their lives the enjoyment and satisfaction we have at Piedmont College in knowing that the
young men and women whom we have as our students make good not only in earning a good living but
also in the abundant life promised us by Jesus Christ.

Few people could gain the respect and admiration that Dean Lane
has cultivated from both faculty and students alike. Tirelessly, she
assumes responsibilities, going out of her way to coordinate the
functions of Piedmont College. Her art for getting things done
combined with her genuine friendliness have made her a key
foundation of Piedmont. To her we dedicate this book.

Dedicated To
Dr. Mary C. Lane

In Appreciation Of
Mr. Nolan Nix

We extend our sincere appreciation to Mr. Nolan Nix, Registrar. Mr.
Nix entered on his duties as Registrar in the same year in which we
began our college career as Freshmen. Throughout our years at
Piedmont College he has been our advisor and personal counselor as
well as "keeper of our records." We salute him for his conscientious
attention to duty, his integrity, and his wise counsel.

In Memory Of
Dr. Lillian McKee

July 24, 1904 - July 22, 1982

Dr. Lillian McKee gave 29 years of dedicated service to Piedmont College. She was a sensitive and
understanding individual whose achievements were many.

Following her graduation from Thorsby Institute, Thorsby, Alabama in 1924, Dr. McKee taught for two years
in the rural elementary schools of Macon County, Alabama. In 1926 she entered Piedmont College and was
graduated in 1929. Following graduation from Piedmont College, Dr. McKee returned to Thorsby Institute to
teach for five years.

In 1930, Dr. McKee took a position in Choctaw County, southwest Alabama, as a school attendance supervisor,
which involved casework and welfare work with underpriviledged children. Lack of a county health department
motivated her to take the initiative in developing a clinic for crippled children and for eye, ear, nose and
throat diseases. She also collected books, took them to schools, and started what later developed into a
library for the county.

In 1947, at the invitation of the then Acting President of Piedmont College, Dr. A. R. VanCleave, Dr. McKee
came to Piedmont College as instructor in sociology. Dr. McKee was to remain in Demorest the rest of her
life.

In 1959, she was appointed by Dr. James E. Walter, President of Piedmont College, to the position of Director
of Food Services for the College. This position she held until her retirement in 1976.

In 1972, in recognition of her many services to the College, the Piedmont Board of Trustees awarded her
the honorary degree of Doctor of Education.

In addition to her formal duties, Dr. McKee made many notable contributions to the College and community
through her many and versatile talents. Her interest and skill in raising plants left an enduring memorial to
her on the College grounds. The pine forest on the edge of the present Piedmont College golf course was
planted by her students as a class project in her course in sociology. Many of the blossoming plants, trees,
and bushes on the present campus had their start in her rooting beds.

Dr. McKee was an inspiration to others to use their talents and contribute to the betterment of their community.

Ten Commandments

For
Piedmont College Students

1. Thou shalt worship the LORD thy God in Chapel each Wednesday. If for thy
absence, thou hast not a valid excuse, thou shalt lose quality points therefor.

2. Thou shalt maintain an attitude of reverence throughout the Chapel service and
shalt keep thy mouth shut except when singing or praying aloud. Converse not
with thy neighbor, but with thy God.

3. Thou shall sign the Chapel program for thyself alone and not turn in a slip for
one who is absent thereby perjuring thyself.

4. If thou livest in the dormitory or within one mile of the College, thou shalt attend
Sunday evening Vesper services at the College.

5. Thou shalt attend all classes, for absences are daily reported and quality points
deducted for unexcused absences.

6. Thou shalt not sit or recline on the davenports of Daniel Hall or in the halls thereof,
nor congregate in the halls while classes are in session, for surely the Dean will
find you out.

7. Thou shalt not eat or drink in the halls of Daniel Hall above the first floor, not
in the classrooms, nor in the auditorium, nor the Chapel, nor in the Library at
any time but thou shalt restrict thy eating and thy drinking to the Lions' Den.
Thou shalt not smoke in the Lobby of Daniel Hall nor in the classrooms while classes
are in session, nor in faculty offices unless the faculty member permits.

8. Thou shalt use the Library for study and not conversation, and when thou goest
into the Library thou shalt obey the rules thereof. Thou shalt not remove from
the Library reference works, magazines, or other material which dost not circulate
and at the end of each quarter thou shalt return to the Library those books which
thou hast borrowed, in order that thy good name may be preserved.

9. Thou shalt not keep living creatures in thy dormitory rooms or in the area of the
residence halls, neither the birds of the air nor fish of the sea nor animal nor
creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, without the express permission of the
Dean, lest these buildings be turned into a zoo.

10. Thou shalt conscientiously perform thy duties in the Work-Aid/Work-Study
program and enter the hours that thou hast worked honestly, that thy days
in the program may be prolonged.

45

Stick it out a little further; it may help it go in.

This yearbook is the result of a few willing individuals who
wanted it enough to pour hours into it. Appreciation
should also be given to the businesses that supported
us and to those who gave in less obvious ways, like
entertaining my daughter, Nancy, so we could work. We
hope we have given everyone an interesting collection
of memories and good times at Piedmont. Mrs. Mary
Boggess, Yearbook Adviser.
