Picture this: "in 1889 the present site of
Demorest was known only as a sawmill
camp. In the same year a small band of
people from Massachusetts, New Hamp-
shire, Ohio and Indiana came to the pre-
sent site of Demorest to establish a prohi-
bition town, beauty spot, health resort, in-
dustrial and educational center.

"The town was organized with a dis-
tinct moral purpose in view. The city ordi-

and various night entertainments. Motor
boats, sail boats, bateaux and a steamer all
piled the lake in the early eighteen ninties.
The steamer "Estes," said to have carried
sixty passengers, carried people pleasure
riding upon both lakes."
( Excerpted from "History of Demorest
1889-1936" by Byron Bean, Piedmont Col-
lege Student)

nances were very strict in regard to whis-
key, gambling and prostitution. In all land
deeds made by the company the clause
was included that forfeiture of the land
was to be the penalty for the practice of
any of these evils on the property.

"The rock dam near Stambaugh's
formed two large lakes. One of these,
however, has filled up. A pavillion was
built in the center of the larger lake. It was
here that young people flocked for dances

Chances are if you ask students why
they chose Piedmont College the an-
swer would not be the local night-life. In
fact, there is little to do in Habersham
County especially on weeknights.
Gainesville is probably the closest
place for excitement.

During the day, however, the local
area is filled with things to do, especial-
ly in the spring. There are about a doz-
en lakes within an hour of Piedmont.
Skiing, fishing, boating and swimming
are popular in several of these loca-
tions.

For more daring students there is the
challenge of hiking in Tallulah Gorge.
Caution must be used, however, to stay
on the trails to avoid accidental falls
and injury.

There are also many parks in the
area. These parks offer picnic and day-
use areas with light hiking trails.

What Habersham County and the lo-
cal area lacks in night-life, it more than
makes up for in day-use areas. Don't
take for granted the recreation areas
created by nature.

There are many ways of passing the
time at Piedmont. One of the most popular
is hanging out in the Student Center. Some
students sharpen their pool skills between
classes. Others prefer the challenge of a
game of ping pong. Card games such as
Spades, Hearts and even an occasional
game of Poker are popular among most of
the students.

Other students prefer the great out-
doors to the chaos of the Student Center.
Students can usually be found chatting
with friends outside Daniel Hall. More of-
ten, there is a race across campus to keep
from being late for class again. But
whatever the activity, there is never a dull
moment.

Study what's that? Oh, that is what
everyone stays up late at night doing.
Cramming is a better word for it. Every-
one has the intention of looking over the
material ahead of time, but somehow it
just doesn't seem to get done. Some peo-
ple study in groups; others study alone.
Some students make a Huddle House run
and study there. (People need something
to keep them awake, so they grab a cup of
strong coffee or a pastry.) Sometimes
they even have to pull an all-nighter. Think
about it. What did you stay up so late the
past few nights doing? Were you study-
ing?

The 1990 Homecoming Dance was held
on Saturday, November 10, 1990, in the Stu-
dent Center. Music was provided by
"Sound Alternative." Everyone dressed in
their best finery so that they could have
their pictures made. After pictures, most
students changed clothes in order to do
some serious dancing. Many couples also
chose to go out to eat before the dance.

Decorations for the event consisted of
a ceiling covered by colorful balloons. The
dance was held in honor of the 1990 Home-
coming Court: Jennifer Martin, Judy Ni-
chols, Kristal Stafford, Kristie Zimmer-
man, Tyler Lee, Jimmy Whelchel, Scott
Wierson and Jeff Winters.

The music was loud and the students
were ready to rock and roll. It was a night
to remember and a dance no one will for-
get in 1990.

Ah, those carefree college days. Now
you can stay out until 3 or 4 in the morning
without your parents around to yell at you.
These are supposed to be the best years of
your life, so why waste a single minute of
the time, right? Besides, with that major
exam coming the next day you have to
stay up all night to cram.

This lack of sleep prompts you to move
about like a zombie the next day. Of
course you can always sleep in, but you
already have three absences in that class

so you decide to go anyway. For the first
fifteen minutes or so you are fine, but
then you realize that your eyes are slowly
closing and you are asleep in class.

Many exhausted students especially
commuters find the couches in the Stu-
dent Center a good place for a quick
"power nap" between classes. But caution
must be used or the nap may continue
right through class. Many times, a short
nap turns into a lengthy slumber. (YAWN!)

Stafford, Laura Turpen, Kristie Zimmer-

Later, at the dance, each of the finalists
received an envelope. Six held blank
sheets of paper, while two indicated
"Winner." After a few seconds of anxiety,
Kristie Zimmerman and Scott Wierson
happily stepped forward to claim their
crowns.

The student body at Piedmont College is a very diverse group. Many nationalities are
represented, including Nepalese, Japanese, Chinese, and several others. Despite these
differences, the student body is really a unified family which bands together it
of triumph and tragedy.

D. Garen Simmons submitted his resig-
nation from the presidency of Piedmont
College effective October 27, 1990. He will
return in the fall to his teaching position in
the History Department.

Simmons served as Vice President from
1981 to January 1985, when he became
President and CEO of Piedmont College.

During his tenure the full time teaching
faculty rose from 17 to 34. The annual bud-
get rose 214%. Scholarships and work aid
availability increased 163%, while tuition
and fees rose 89%. Also under Simmons,
seven new majors and three minors were
added to the curriculum as well as an aca-
demically based program called Piedmont
Scholars.

On February 1, 1991, the Board of Trust-
ees appointed Mr. John F. Elger to serve as
Interim President. Mr. Elger plans to keep
the College moving forward. He has many
plans for Piedmont, but as Interim Presi-
dent his plans cannot span over one year.
After fourteen years of practicing law,
Mr. Elger was ready for a change and
when Piedmont offered, he accepted. Mr.
Elger says that his door is always open to
all students, staff and faculty, and looks
forward to serving Piedmont.

On February 15, I99I, construction work began on the
new Piedmont College Library. Georgia Mountain Con-
struction of Gainesville, Georgia, was awarded the con-
tract after submitting the low bid of $1,919,000.00. The
four story building will be colonial in appearance with
large white pillars that match those found around cam-
pus. The front of the structure will only show three
floors, but the back (facing Demorest Lake) will be con-
structed with large windows. Air conditioning will be
included in the building a major plus over the present
facility. Among other significant additions will be a
computer room, study areas, an audiovisual center, con-
ference rooms and shelving for 300,000 volumes.

Intercollegiate sports have always been in integral part of the Piedmont
community. Many students participate in either men's or women's basketball, baseball,
Softball, tennis, and golf, as both walk-ons or with grants in aid. And with an
increasing level of competition from our teams in practically every sport and school
spirit on the rise, Piedmont is sure to be a strong competitor in the years to come.

This year's Lady Lions basketball team
was a surprise to some. Many saw a group
of girls who were young and inexperi-
enced. Others saw the same group as
dedicated, determined, and hardworking.
We saw ourselves as both. We knew we
would have to concentrate to play with
any consistencey at all and to avoid any of
the dreaded "freshmen errors."

By the end of the season, we were star-
ing a national tournament right in the
face. The team was ranked fifth in the
nation and had one of the best records
thus far in the history of Piedmont's wom-
en's basketball program. Another factor in
our success: the support for the team was
incredible. The fans, from students and
parents to the faculty and members of the
community, sparked school spirit and
helped to encourage the team when
things weren't going well.

Even though we didn't end up going to
the tournament, hopefully this season was
the beginning of many more successful
seasons to come. Thanks to all our sup-
porters, and to Coach Simmons. See Ya
Next Season!

Steve Hardin goes for the tip at the beginning of
the North Georgia game.

The 1990-91 men's basketball team had a
rough season. The team was hindered by
injuries and ineligible players, and fin-
ished up with an 11-20 record, with half the
losses having very close scores.

This team, like the Lady Lions, was fair-
ly young, with no seniors and six new
members on the squad. The men worked
hard to concentrate and they gave count-
less amounts of time, effort and dedica-
tion to make this team the best.

Each game was a learning experience,
and the crowd could see several degress
of improvement by the end of the season.
It seems as if the team finally came full
circle and created some of the chemistry
necessary to play effectively. Can they
carry this on to next season? Regardless,
we'll be right there cheering them through
each game, win or lose!

Runway Fish House in Baldwin.

After the initial welcome by "P" Club
President Fred Richards and Coach Maxie

On March 12, between the baseball
games against Wofford College, Jeff
Bryan's number and jersey were retired.
The young pitcher lost his life as a result
of a violent crime during the summer of
1990. His family was present at the cer-
emony to accept Jeff's jersey, and Coach
Harwood thanked them for allowing Jeff
to become a part of Piedmont's team. In
return, his family expressed gratitude to

the Piedmont community for the warmth
shown to their son.

Death and loss are no doubt difficult to
deal with under any circumstance, but I
think I speak for all who knew Jeff by
saying our lives were surely enriched by
just knowing such a kind and gentle spirit.
He will be truly missed.

It is the measure
of a man well loved
when friends left behind
become caretakers
of such elusive things

as dreams
not fully realized.

So it will be
and so it is
with what you've left.

What you may not know
or never realized
is that you narrowed

boundaries
and some have even
come down altogether
in the year
that you've been gone.

Coach Brad Simmons was selected GIAC Coach of the Year
for Softball for 1991. Leah Henderson was named GIAC Player
of the Year for Softball for 1991. The two are pictured above.
Congratulations to each!

The Camp Younts Foundation donated $100,000 to Pied-
mont in December 1990 to renovate the athletic field area.
Initial plans include building an additional Softball field, two
more tennis courts, changing rooms with showers and public
restrooms. Construction has begun, with expected comple-
tion in August of 1991.

NOTE: As of the writing of this article, the hope is that
the new baseball, volleyball. Softball, soccer and tennis fa
cilities will be in place by the end of 1991. The Board of Trus-
tees determined at their spring meeting that the concession
stand/locker room and restroom facilities, and the proposed
field house will have to be delayed until additional funds are
available.

Compiled from staff reports

On June 17, 1991. Dr. Ellen
Briggs began work as Pied-
mont's new athletic director
and associate professor of
physical education. Dr. Briggs
coming to Piedmont from
Patrick Henry Community
College in Martinsville, VA
will replace Maxie Skinner, who
has been athletic director for
the last seven years. Skinner
will now be devoting all his
time to managing Piedmont's
Golf Course.

At one time or another, many
students have participated
competitively in some type of
sport. In intercollegiate athlet-
ics, however, only a small hand-
ful of athletes can be involved.
This makes playing a college
sport special, and it also opens
up a class of alternative sports
that can be just as challenging
and exciting . . . intramurals.

Students at Piedmont College enjoy a variety of extracurricular activities. Free
time is precious to every college student. Each student has a personal idea of what to
do during spare time. Some work, some play sports and others perform community
service. When the weather is warm, students go fishing, boating or skiing. In cooler
weather, students go hunting or snowskiing. Popular school activities organized by
the Director of Student Activities, Ms. Patti Dixon, include dances, camping trips, ski
trips and Casino Nights.

Students jobs vary greatly depending on the student. In addition to
on-campus jobs, some students work at fast food establishments;

some work at convenience stores* some work at grocery stores; and
many work in offices and banks. Business Administration majors

and minors often obtain jobs during college at banks and in offices
around the area.

Halloween proved to be a busy evening
at Piedmont this year. A costume contest
was held in Getman-Babcock Hall, and it
was open to both males and females.
Trick-or-treating was popular as the guys
went door to door in the girls' dorm beg-
ging for free handouts. Costumes ranged
from simple to elegant. Witches, cartoon
characters, phantoms, cowboys and cow-
girls, Indians, ghosts, goblins, movie stars
and clowns were popular outfits this year.

One of the favorite events on campus is
Casino Night. Even the commuters come
back for itl A professional casino company
provides the equipment and dealers. Dr.
Wester and Dr. Wainberg also deal at the
Blackjack tables. Patti works the Wheel of
Fortune and you can even try your luck at
the Roulette table. Lewis puts on his "city
suit" with gold cufflinks and functions as
the "man in charge" pit boss, banker,
etc. Jean and Christina serve "cocktails"
to the tables full of thirsty gamblers.

At the end of the evening, money is
traded in for raffle tickets. The tickets
are then drawn for prizes. Prizes include
calculators, tools, sports equipment, lin-
ens, and food. However, everyone's fa-
vorite prizes are the sheer, lacy lingerie.
It's especially fun when one of the guys
wins it!

One way to fight poverty during college
is to get a job. Many jobs are available on
campus. One fun place to work is the Stu-
dent Center. It is one of the few jobs
where you can play and get paid for it. It
takes about 8 students to run the Student
Center. Another place to work, if you can
resist munching, is the cafeteria. There
are usually about 8 jobs available there for
students.

If office work is preferred, students can
work in Alumni, Admissions, Registrar's,
Financial Aid, President's, Dean's and
Business Offices. Filing, typing and tele-
phone answering are important aspects of
these jobs.

Some students who enjoy the outdoors
work with Maintenance Department
keeping the grounds in order. Others, who
like indoor surroundings, work for mem-
bers of the faculty maintaining labs and
assisting where needed. The library also
employs several students to perform var-
ious tasks.

For those who prefer flexible hours,
there are jobs available as tutors, coach's
assistants, and as a yearbook or newspa-
per editor.

Andy Chandler puts away the clean trays as
his job in the cafeteria.

The dances at Piedmont are major
sporting events for students. When they
dance, they dance hard enough to work up
a good sweat. Students enjoy listening to
Pop, Rock, R&B and yes, even 50s music.
They have mastered moves like the Ham-
mer, Roger Rabbit, Bus Stop, Electric Shuf-
fle and the Gator. Sock hops are big hits
with the students also: they twist non-
stop and limbo till they drop.

To begin the fall with a bang there is a
Freshman Dance. Then throughout the
year there are the Homecoming, Christ-
mas, Valentine and Spring Formal dances.
These are the more formal dances and
between these dances are many other less
formal dances. Each dance is fun and full
of surprises. You never know who will be
with who and you always leave with some
good gossip and not necessarily the same
person you came with. You might even
meet that special person you have been
searching for your entire life. There are
always special memories of the dances
throughout a student's career at Pied-
mont College.

On the night of a Piedmont College
dance, the excitement does not end when
the music stops. There are many activi-
ties that start at midnight. One of the
most common of these activities is the
after-dance party. Most of these parties
begin before the dance but take a break
during the dance hours. Another popular
activity is a late-night "Huddle run" to the
Huddle House in Clarkesville, where
friends get together for a good time and
snack or coffee.

Less popular activities also take place
after Piedmont dances. Cleaning up the
Student Center and the parking lot must
be done so that school can go on normally
the next day. Little-known activities in-
volving the police, such as the theft of a
light bar or people breaking into Daniel
Hall, also occur.

Imagine yourself walking into a room
where people are in groups and couples
laughing and having a good time. Since
you don't know anyone you proceed to
find a seat.

The nervousness coming over you is
showing on your face and you feel like
everyone is looking at you. This is the feel-
ing many freshmen and new students ex-
perience when they begin Piedmont Col-
lege.

Everywhere you look around campus,
students are gathering together and hav-
ing a good time. Friendship is in the air
and you wish to be a part of it.

Don't fret! At Piedmont is seems all you
have to do is say hello to someone and
BOOM! you have friends! They intro-
duce you to others and pretty soon you
are part of a laughing group.

dows. Edible candy cane garlands hung
from the walls and tinsel was wrapped
around the poles. A large Christmas tree
was lit in the T.V. area.

The Valentine's Dance was held in the
Student Center on February 12th and
about 200 people attended. Several things
made this a very romantic dance besides
the fact it was for Valentine's Day. Every-
one danced in the T.V. area instead of
spread out in the main area (this gave
everyone an excuse to huddle closer).
Pink and white balloons were in a net
above the fireplace and gossamer was
draped across the doors. The D.J.'s played
lots more slow songs than they did at the
other dances.

Demorest may not be Paris or Milan,
and the shops across from the Post Office
aren't full of Armani or Chanel designs,
but along with each school year comes
Piedmont's own set of fads and fashions.
This year was no different. At any time in
Daniel Hall, one might see everything
from preppies to hippies or from mini-
skirts to jogging suits.

The 60s are back. An obvious example is
the high-tech psychadelic patterns and
bell-bottoms, but a more subtle one is the
comeback of color. Even the most conser-
vative rugbys and sweatshirts are show-
ing the almost florescent pinks, blues and
greens typical of the 60s.

Comfort is in. For dressing down, Nike-
type warmups are everywhere. Students
are wearing matching jackets and pants in
solid, striped, and blocked colors. Even in
dressing up, wearing oversized tops over
leggings or catsuits is both comfortable
and fashionable.

In addition, dresses from ladylike to
skintight have returned. Accessories like
scarfs, jewelry, handbags and shoes are a
must. To top it off, use your head and
think hats.

Who knows? By August, things may
have changed. But, judging from designs
here and abroad, these fads and fashions
are here to stay.

The Student Center is more than a
building. It is also a place where commut-
ers and dorm students meet and interact.
Popular activities include shooting pool
and talking about what happened last
weekend or what is going to happen this
weekend. The students also play ping
pong, Fusball and card games of all types.
In the Student Center, students can check
out Student Activity equipment such as
board games, camping gear, frisbees and
bicycles. During Student Center dances,
students often play video games as a
change of pace and a chance to cool off.
The Dean of Students, the Director of
Campus Life and their secretary have of-
fices in that building, and are assisted by a
staff of students who clean and maintain
the Student Center.

Tutoring often takes place in the food
and vending area, while many people
watch MTV or CNN on the big screen TV
on the other end of the building. The tele-
vision area was especially popular during
the War in the Persian Gulf this year.

by Herff Jones Publishing Company. The cover
photograph was taken by Randy Crump of Ru-

amel paper stock. Individual photographs and all
other contract photography were done by Tony

sociates Photography of Baldwin.

Special Thanks

As we are putting the finishing touches on this
yearbook, it is time for me to thank a few people
for the assistance they have provided this year.

Ms. Christina Whitaker became our adviser
last summer and has actively worked to make
sure that the book is a quality product. Christina
has been there at all staff meetings and when-
ever needed to provide support, input and as-
sistance.

I have had an excellent staff this year. Many
started with us at the workshop at Truett-
McConnell last fall, but several others came in
during the school year to assist with the work.

April Anderson, Assistant Editor, has come to
the rescue again this year to help me finish the
book during the summer. After completing the
Sports section, April took up the slack by work-
ing to complete other unfinished sections.

Bruce Hartley, our representative from Herff
Jones, has met with our staff every two weeks
to be sure that the work is progressing properly.

At the last minute, additional pages were add-
ed to this book, causing delays in its production
schedule.

Special thanks are extended to anyone who
has contributed in any way to producing this
yearbook.

Picture This.

As I began to bring the 1991 Yon-
ahian to a close, it was apparent
that this would be the last printed
yearbook at Piedmont College. The
modern technology of video is
creeping into many schools, and
was slated to replace the conven-
tional yearbook.

Fortunately, concerned students
and others voiced their dismay at
discontinuing a tradition. As of the
writing of this article, it looks like
Yonahian will live on.

When I came to Piedmont, I
made it my goal to make vast im-
provements in the yearbook. Dur-
ing my two years as editor, the size
of the book was increased from 1 3 A
X IC/2 to 8'/2 X II, and more pages
were added. Also, more extensive
coverage was given to the events
and activities of the school year.

April Anderson has been my as-
sistant editor for two years now,
and has been of invaluable assis-
tance to me. We have spent a great
deal of time completing the unfin-
ished work and proofreading all
that has been done.

There will never be another 1990-
1991 school year. All that will re-
main when the year is gone are
your memories, this yearbook, and
any other memorabilia you have
gathered.
