ROLL WITH Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from LYRASIS Members and Sloan Foundation http://archive.org/details/yonah92unse Roll With It Piedmont College Demorest, Ga. 30535 (404) 778-3000 1991-1992 Yonahian Roll With the Changes 1991-1992 was a year of changes at Piedmont College. Though some of these changes were considered negative, most students believed by the year's end that the changes had, overall, been positive. New president John Elger and Rev. Terry Bascom were two additions to Piedmont that truly made a difference. The construction of the new library added an air of excitement to the campus. Freshmen found college life an interesting change, while upperclassmen enjoyed life at Piedmont while working toward their diplo- mas. By the end of the 1 99 1 - 1 992 school year, most Piedmont students had learned to roll with the changes and to accept the bad along with the good. They also realized that as time passes, these changes will better prepare them to roll into the outside world.

Student Center The student center was always a popular hangout with Pied- mont students. Aside from a large screen TV and VCR, there were many activities to en- gage in. Students could always be found playing cards and board games. Pool, ping pong, and air hockey were also pop- ular activities. Patti Dixon and Jean Cap- po, along with student center workers John Covington, Todd Gant, Teresa Wood, Jason Stephens, John Cas- tleberry, Jennifer Mil- stead, Mark McCoy, and Delaine Irvin helped to keep the student center clean and orderly. <& Clockwise from Top Loft: Octavius Mulligan and William Ley smile for the camera.

Whether baking cookies or having an all-night study session, the girl's dorm was always busy. Late night pranks and water fights were always popular. Resident director Christina Garmon and assistants Da- nette Bowers, Dackri Davis, Amber Bay, and Teresa Wood kept things from getting out of hand. At Pureed Hall, a game of baseball or basketball in the hall or lobby was always a fun activity. Director Lewis Lindsay and as- sistants Shannon Floyd, Raymond Kent, and Doug Register officiated.

What was this big event? It was the 1991- 1992 Homecoming Dance! Was it worth all the helium used to blow up the balloons? If you were there you can decide for yourself.

Whenever you are down or bored, all you have to do is pick up the phone and call a friend. There is no doubt that students rec- ognize the value of a true friend and work hard at making new friends all the time.

Holidays at Piedmont Though most students were not to- gether on holidays, many choosing to go home to their families, Piedmont always managed to celebrate one way or an- other. The girl's dorm sponsored a Hal- loween party, while a Christmas Dance was held at the Student Center. There was also a Valentine's Dance that eve- ryone enjoyed. Even though Piedmont students were often glad to go home on holidays, they were always glad to come back to school again. Clockwise from top right: John Krippner and Melissa Walls enjoy a slow dance. April Anderson and Michael Garrett pause in mid-dance. Doug Beard and Neal Gosdin are dressed in their best for the dance. Ray Kelly celebrates the day with his valentine, Sandy Landrum.

The room was decorated with red hearts, the lights were low. the atmosphere was very intimate, and Leann Bagwell looked like a millon. Everyone knew that night was one to remember. Working There are a wide array of jobs available on Piedmont's campus. Many students worked in offices on campus, while others worked in the student center. Other jobs include library work, maintenance, nightwatchmen, and tu- toring. Work study was a good way to earn some extra money without leaving campus.

Of course there are other things to do at Pied- mont like playing table tennis, playing pool, or walking, but nothing compares to the Doc- tor. The Doctor had racquetball, aerobics, weight-lifting, exercise machines, a sauna, and a whirlpool. At Dr. Goodbody's you can work up a sweat and then relax in the warmth of the soothing whirlpool.

Before the dance started many students went to Gainsville to eat at such restaurants as Knickers, Peeches, and Poor Richards. The dance itself was full of beautiful people in beautiful clothes. The night was complete when everyone danced to Queens "Bohemian Rhapsody." Special Friends and Special Times ^1? Clockwise from left: Stephen Allen and Tammy Wheeler are an example of good friends that also make great dancing part- ners. This special couple, with their deep and abiding affection for each other, touched the hearts of many Piedmont students. Tatjana and Paul: You don't get much clos- er than these two! Nina Cleveland and Robert Gardner are not only friends they re engaged. Todd Rock. Rene van Weenen. and Daren King Your closest friends are the ones you can sing with. Studying It's a beautiful day outside. The sun is shining; the birds are singing. There isn't a cloud in the sky. Where can Pied- mont students be found?? Studying, of course! Like the dil- igent students we are at Piedmont, we would never let a game of volleyball interfere with our homework. Clockwise from above: Rod Wilson studies diligently. Teresa Wood works hard at her accounting. Tanya Senter and Shona Taylor work on reports. Daina Dawdy "enjoys" doing homework in the library.

Between Classes There are many things for students to do between classes. If you only had a quick break, conversing in the halls or lobby was popular. For those with a longer break, playing cards or pool in the student center, eating in the Snack Shack, taking a quick nap, or even studying outside was good ways to pass that time. Campus Coffeehouse The fourth bi-annual campus coffeehouse took place in the Cafeteria in February of this year. Winners were announced in three different categories: musical performance, lip-synch, and skits. The winner in the musical performance category was Chris Altman. In the lip-synch competition, Tammy, Pat, and Christy won. Daren King, Rene van Weenen, Ray Kelly, Tom Wyatt, and Scott Wierson won for best skit.
