Determining a theme for the
1989-1990 Yonahian proved to be an
easier than expected task. While
at Herff-Jones Publishing Com-
pany's summer workshop in Bir-
mingham, Alabama in mid-July, we
chose "Sail On" for the theme. The
most obvious reason for this
choice is the gold Mayflower wind
vane atop Piedmont's chapel,
which symbolizes the struggles of
the Pilgrims.

Also, education can be com-
pared to an ocean voyage with its
waves and storms. Leaving high
school behind to begin college is
like leaving a homeland to travel to
a new, unexplored land. The weath-
er vane on top of the steeple of
Piedmont's chapel is symbolic of

such a trip.

Some people wait until later in
life to begin their voyages, but
they have personal motivations for
their delays. They deser\e as
much (if not more) respect as
those who start immediately. No
matter when the journey is start-
ed, similar waves and storms are
encountered.

Although it may seem now that
college is the end of the trip, it is in
truth only the beginning. Life is a
series of voyages that are inter-
related, providing opportunities
for growth and development. Don't
be afraid to venture out in search
of your dreams sail on.

Orientation 1989

i

Fall Semester Orientation 1989
was held Saturday, August 26
through Tuesday, August 29, for
new students. Staffed by mem-
bers of the Student Government
Association, faculty, and other
campus leaders, this program was
designed to assist new students
in their transition to Piedmont
College. Parents also were in-
volved in Saturday's meetings.

To help incoming freshmen get
acquainted, a freshmen dance
was held on Saturday night. Dur-
ing the next three days, the new

students met in small groups with
rheir orientation group leaders.
Academic advising, library orien-
tation, residence hall meetings.
Piedmont Studies Orientation,
and a club fair were also held.

New students were also assist-
ed in registering for classes and
taking care of fees. The Piedmont
Student Government Association
sponsored several evening events
for the new students, including a
cookout, a mystery activity, and a
BSU concert.

Getting Acquainted

One of the hardest things to do
at any college is to meet and get to
know people. Class schedules, jobs
S extracurricular activities compli-
cate students' attempts to spend
time together. Most resident stu-
dents usually have it a little easier
than commuters' because of their
dorm situations, which allow them
to meet others.

Commuters often go to school
only for classes and required ac-
tivities because they do not feel
included, while residents look for
activities on campus to fill their
time. This year, the Student Gov-
ernment Association in cooper-
ation with Ms. Patti Dixon, new Di-
rector of Student Activities has
increased the number of organized

Scott Mewborne. Ronnie Mullinax and Monique Ag-
bor review their homework before class starts. (

activities in an attempt to in-
volve more students.

Some activities SGA has con-
ducted this year include numer-
ous dances, theme parties, roll-
er-skating trips, a snow-skiing
trip, a scavenger hunt, trick-or-
treat in the dorms at Halloween,
turkey-bowling at Thanksgiving
and a school Christmas tree-
lighting ceremony.

Campus activities are open to
both resident and commuter stu-
dents, and to members of the
Piedmont faculty and staff.

They Are So Happy

Together

Friendships are an integral
part of life, but are especially
important in college. Many stu-
dents leave home for the first
time to attend school. The secu-
rity of parents, relatives, and
life-long friends is left behind.

New experiences confront
college students every day, and
friends become essential.
Friends are there to hear prob-
lems and triumphs, to help with
homework, and to spend time
with. Perhaps the most impor-
tant job that a friend has is sim-
ply being there when needed.

Friendships must be able to
withstand arguments, criticism,
competition, heartaches, tur-
moil, and confusion. Friendship
is acceptance of people for ex-
actly who they are, not what
they could become. The next
time your roommate wakes you
up at 3 AM, listen to the prob-
lem. You might need a listener
one night.

Living with a Bad Case of

Pressure

Stress is a major factor in the
lives of both students and faculty.
Everyone has a personal means of
coping with this stress. Some stu-
dents such as Michael Carroll, Bill
Beehler, and Wanda Dawson, enjoy
a friendly game of chess or cards
in the Student Center between
classes.

Faculty members have another
answer to coping with pressure.
Dr. Vijaya Kandala, Miss Windy
Charles, Dr. Lisa Lumpkin, Mrs.
Kathy Elrod, Mrs. Kathy Wies, and
Mrs. Donnice Henderson walk
around Demorest Lake during their
lunch breaks in order to ease ten-
sion and stay healthy.

Other students enjoy the seren-
ity of Demorest Springs Park and
go there to relax, meditate, and

study. The quiet atmosphere
makes it a popular place to go dur-
ing nice weather.

Commuters often have a little
harder time relaxing while at
school. Most don't know very
many people, so they are not as
comfortable spending time in the
Student Center. A few, such as
Trent Fricks, Tammy and Pat
Wheeler, Matt Cook, Perry Dalton,
and Ginger Rumsey spend a good
deal of time playing pool, ping-
pong, foosball, and videogames in
the Student Center.

Recreation and relaxation are
important elements of the lives of
students and faculty. Different
people have different ways of get-
ting rid of stress, ail of which can
be beneficial.

Read the Next Seven Chapters . . .
. . . and be Ready for a Test Next Class.

Students Face Numerous Exams

How many times have you
heard the following words:
"Read the next several chapters
and be ready for a test next class
period"? These words are famil-
iar to most college students, es-
pecially toward the end of the
semester.

Test are a major headache for
all students. Finding time to

study is often a difficult task.
Time is precious, and regular
studying consumes time other-
wise spent in social activities.

Each professor has a personal
method of testing students.
Some teachers prefer to give es-
say exams, while others would
rather administer short-answer
tests. Most members of the fac-

Derek Pardue, Mike Edwards and Jeff Jenkins wait
in the lobby of Daniel Hall to watch the girls go by. (
Cannon)

Deana Murphy and Mike Harkness enjoy watching
other people dance at the Valentine's Dance. (
Moore)

ulty, however, utilize a combina-
tion of the above types of tests,
giving an exam that is both ob-
jective and subjective.

Tests are an integral part of
the educational process. No mat-
ter how much students dislike
exams, they are a necessary
measure of comprehension of
material.

Conquering the Fears of Being Fixed Up on .

. . . Blind Dates

One of the most dreaded things
in the life of a college student is
being "fixed up" with a blind date.
Your best friend (allegedly) knows
the "ideal person who has a great
personality."

After some consideration, you
finally agree to the date. You
wouldn't want to hurt anyone's
feelings, so you decide you can risk
one bad date.

All week your best friend keeps
telling you, "He has a great person-
ality." You start to get apprehen-

somewhat less than great-looking.

The night of the date you begin
to wonder what to wear, finally de-
ciding to wear your new dress. As
you and your best friend enter the
restaurant, your knees turn to noo-
dles and you fear that this date
really could be as bad as you imag-
ined. You go over for your best
friend to introduce you, and you
finally get a look at the guy.

This has to be the most hand-
some guy you have ever seen. He
smiles .. Yes! All his front teeth are

"/ would rather a guy have the nerve to ask
me out himself than to get someone else to
try and fix him up with me."

personality" description really has ries were unnecessary. You have

you worried that this guy may be found someone special.

Work Programs

Tammy McDaniel, student worker in the Dean's Office, enters data into

Students at Piedmont College can earn money
for their educational expenses in one of three
types of campus employment: the federal College
Work-Study Program which allows students to
work in various capacities in offices and depart-
ments on campus based on financial need, the
Piedmont College Work-Aid Program which is
funded through private contributions that are
designated for such purposes, or by being a Resi-
dent Assistant in one of the dormitories. RA's are
generally selected early and there are few posi-
tions, and the Work-Study Program is based
purely on financial need, so many students are
employed under the Piedmont Work-Aid Pro-
gram.

Jobs

Most students either want or
need to earn money during their
college years. One option for
those students at Piedmont is
on-campus employment through
the Work-Study or Work-Aid
Programs.

Those students who do not
find work on campus are gener-
ally able to gain employment in
the local area. Several students
and their employers will be listed
here, but this is by no means an
extensive list. Joel Massey, Jay

Colophon

Volume 70 of the Piedmont College Yonahian
yearbook was printed in Montgomery, AL, by
Herff Jones Publishing. This year, the spine size
was increased from 7 3 A" by 10 Vi" to 8 V2" by II".
The cover is company stock with a school-insert-
ed photograph. The printing is on 80-weight
enamel paper stock. Division headlines are in
Freehand-, regular headlines are in Chelsea Black;
subheadlines are Avante Garde Demi Italic; body
copy is in Optima; captions are in Lydian. Indi-
vidual portraits were taken by Olan Mills Studios.
Other photographers are identified in parenthe-
ses following each caption.

Special Thanks

This yearbook is almost complete. It has been
my personal ambition to make this annual the
best in Piedmont history. At this point, I think it
would be appropriate to mention a few people
who have helped me make this book a reality.

Ms. Patti Dixon became our adviser after the
start of school, so she was caught almost unpre-
pared for yearbook work. During the course of
the year, however, Patti has shown her willing-
ness to assist us.

Jennifer Martin, Design Editor, has been of
invaluable help to me as a sounding board for
ideas, a designer, and a long-time friend. April
Anderson, Assistant Editor, has shown that she is
really eager to work on the yearbook. On several
occasions during the summer, April gave up her
free time to help me finish the book. Bruce Hart-
ley is our representative from Herff- Jones, and
he has been at our meetings faithfully every two
weeks and several times during the summer to
provide valuable input and assistance.

I would also like to extend my gratitude to
anyone who has contributed in any way to the
production of this yearbook.

Cross with Care

A common problem for those
students who arrive just before
class is finding parking spaces.
Generally, the parking lots near
the Student Center, Getman-
Babcock Dorm, and on the road
between the Piedmont Chapel
and the cafeteria fill up first.

Students who arrive later usu-
ally find that they must find a
spot for their car in one of the
lots on the other side of Highway
441. Although both of these lots
are well-maintained, they are
still across the highway from
Piedmont.

After finding a parking space,
students must then wait for a
break in traffic so that they can
cross the very busy commercial
route. At times, the wait for a

chance to cross can be as long as
five minutes.

A common joke at Piedmont is
that someone is going to be run
over by a chicken truck. This,
however, may not be a joke
much longer it is getting too
close to reality. Please use care
when crossing 441!

"Piedmont Pride" was the
theme of Homecoming 1989, which
was held on Saturday, October 14,
1989. The day began with a "P"
Club business meeting, followed by
a picnic lunch.

After lunch, the Homecoming
Court was presented to the crowd.
The court included Bonita Bagley,
Matt Benson, Lesley Bennett, Jody
Cannon, Jennifer Charles, Ken Die-
trich, Mike Edwards, Shannon
Floyd, Chuck Gaines, Jewell Gor-
don, Leah Henderson, Skip John-
ston, Tracy Mathews, Jackie Stan-
cil, Richard York and Kristie Zim-
merman.

Dr. Garen Simmons followed the
presentation of the court with his
State of the College Address. Then

the crowd was entertained by the
Fort Mountain Boys, a popular
country and pop band. Also during
the afternoon, the Alumni Associ-
ation held its annual meeting and
election of officers.

At 3:00 pm, the Piedmont base-
ball team faced Truett-McConnell
on the newly renovated Diamond
Lions Field. That evening, a lyceum
featuring Donna Roll was held in
the school chapel. Following the
concert, the Homecoming Dance
was held, and the court winners
were announced: Mike Edwards,
King; Jody Cannon and Jewell Gor-
don, Queens; Jackie Stancil, Matt
Benson, Kristie Zimmerman. Ken
Dietrich, and Skip Johnston.

When Students Get Bored,
They Want the DJ to

Let the Music Play

Dances are an important ex-
tracurricular activity at Pied-
mont College. Periodically, the
school sponsors organized
dances to allow students to in-
teract and to release tension.
Each dance has a somewhat dif-
ferent format.

This year, the following
dances have been held at Pied-
mont: the Homecoming dance? a
fall dance with marshmallow
roast and hayride-, the Christ-
mas semi-formal dance at the

Cornelia Community House-, a Jan-
uary "Welcome Back" dance; the
Valentine's semi-formal dance at
the Cornelia Community House;
MORP (prom spelled backwards), a
dance featuring thrift store cloth-
ing; a lawn dance; and the Spring
Formal at the Georgia Mountains
Center in Gainesville.

Disc-jockeys for this year in-
cluded Freddie Luka (alias "Fast
Freddie" of WAPW, Power 99 in
Atlanta), Piedmont College's own
"Bubba", and Randy Crump of
"Sound Alternative" in Cornelia.
Compact discs and laser videos
have gradually begun to replace
cassettes as dance music.

Dances are an important part of
the college social experience for
students. They provide opportuni-
ties for meeting other students
and making new friends. Although
the music changes with time, the
purpose of dances remains the
same.

are probably almost as many dif-
ferent opinions about music as
there are students at Piedmont.

Although neither features a
pop/80's format, two new radio
stations have emerged in Haber-
sham County this year. WCON,
a long-established AM/FM sta-
tion, moved into a new studio,
increased its FM output to

So that your effort won't be a

enter the building, your friend

shoot a game of pool. One thing
leads to another and you forget
that you are there to study.

An hour elapses before you
know it, and suddenly you throw
down the pool cue, realizing that
you are almost late for your next

Dating Pointers

Do's and Don'ts of Dating

There are many important
steps that should be followed in
order to have a good date. Al-
though some steps apply specifi-
cally to men or to women most
are universal.

Don't forget that you have a
date.

Be sure to take a shower.

Don't be too cheap (a picnic is
fine, but don't make your date
split a hotdog with you).

Don't wear old work clothes
(she can tell the difference be-
tween your new faded jeans and
your farm jeans).

Don't tell your date, "Your
mother dresses you funny."

Don't be late for the date.

Be sure to wear deodorant (or
you might have to shower

again).

Pick an appropriate place to
take your date (Guys: a place
that features female mud wres-
tling might not be too popular
with your date).

Don't go to pick up your date
on a bicycle.

Don't wear too much cologne
or perfume.

Don't drive too fast (you
would hate to get a ticket with
your date in the car).

Don't say, "Oops! I left my
wallet at home. Can you loan me
fifty dollars?"

Do your best to have a good
time (no matter how bad the
food at the restaurant was).

Graduation 135

This year has rapidly drawn to
a close. For some people, it is the
end of their college years; for
others, it is only the beginning.

For those students who gra-
duate this year, it is out into the
"real world," with all its waves
and storms. Jobs, families and
commitments will now take the
place of the fun, frolic and free-
dom of college years.

To those students who still
have not completed their educa-
tion, the time is now for decid-
ing where your college exper-
iences will take you. Be con-
cerned about but not
preoccupied with grades.
Education is important, but don't
forget to enjoy life along the
way. Participate in as many ac-
tivities as possible. Make the
most of your college years
they can be the best years of
your life. Don't miss the boat!
