Friday night a rather well-known band, Drivin' N' Cryin', held a concert on the quad with a spectacular turnout. Satur- day was the annual Homecoming carnival-type event, complete with a dunking booth, food and drink, and a new activity this year - the Velcro Wall! That same afternoon was the coronation of this years Homecoming King and Queen, Darren Volk and Sabrina Allen. This took place during halftime of the women's soccer game. The decorative Homecoming Dance was Saturday night in the Student Center. There was hardly a dull moment on Homecoming Weekend at Piedmont! Si ^ ^ ^\w* \\ Top: C. T.

Well... at Piedmont College, that may or may not be true. Everywhere you go there are couples that always seem to be together. Some of them have pro- vided pretty interesting conversation while others just keep quiet and mellow in the background. Assembled here is a variety of couples we can always count on keep- ing Piedmont students talking.

For those students who go away from home to attend college, the experience is that much more exciting. It is a time to develop a sense of self and independence and some of the strongest friendships are made in the dormitories. Although Pied- mont is a small campus, the staff encour- aged activities within and between the three dorms to promote a sense of com- munity and belonging for each resident. Most students who have lived on campus for the majority of their career at Piedmont College feel that they would not have had such a complete experience had they lived off-campus.

Here is a place where all students can congregate, whether it be to study, play games, or pass the time waiting for the next class to begin. Every major student activity was held in the Student Center, from dances to pajama parties to Super Bowl events. It is a place to forget the books for awhile or cram for that afternoon Biology exam while you eat your daily lunch of potato chips and coke. If you think you don't have the time to visit the Student Center, you just may be missing out on one of the most important aspects of college life: honing up on your socialization skills!

He was a kind, quiet man who was always willing to help others. He was well known for his many intelligent debates with other faculty members in which he would play devil's advocate. He was always an excellent ad- ministrator and helped to create a comfortable working environment for those around him. John Camp loved nature and animals as much as he loved his family and friends. This deep feeling char- acteristic Mr. Camp possessed may help explain why, after losing two wives in less than five years, he felt he had to leave this world and once again become a part of the nature he so adored. John Camp will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and those who knew him for the short five years he was with us at Piedmont College. ' w . . ... LtigHmsHM JULIE MMM #5 I shall pass this way but once; Any good, therefore, that I can do or Any kindness that I can show to any human being, Let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, For I shall not pass this way again. #22 Once we were blessed - with two little girls With an objective - to conquer the world. They became friends - the instant they met So at a very young age - their journey was set. They wheeled and dealed - as they traveled their way And never failed to love and help others - everyday. They became known for their skills in basketball For their personalities and for standing tall. They had morals and loved - all their peers And when we needed them - they were always near. They laughed and played - and had so much fun And then - within an instant - their mission was done. They lived a lifetime - in only eighteen years They went to Heaven and we shed the tears. Only God knows - how great - was our love For those two girls - who now live above. They did everything - not as two - but as one And are now with God - by faith in His son.

Coach Elaine Mize, Coach Beth Ralph, and Asst, Coach Laura Brooks. This season was not the one the Lady Lions had hoped for, but it was certainly one to be proud of. The start of practice season seemed to predict one of Piedmont's most outstanding women's teams ever. With the ad- dition of several freshmen to re- plenish last year's senior women, these ladies were looking good on the courts! In early October, how- ever, a tragic accident claimed the young lives of two of these freshmen players (see pages 86- 87), bringing the team spirit to a screeching halt. The players did manage to collect themselves, however, and move on the best way they knew how - having fun playing their game. This season was a tough one indeed, but one that' proved to these young Lady Lions Thatthey do have the most essen- tial ingredient of a great team - love and support for one another. Piedmont College looks forward to another display of strength and endurance from these women next season!

The Lions started off the season with a record of 8 - 8 in their confer- ence, NAIA. They became in- consistent, dropping games to end up 1 1 - 1 7 in the conference, but that was good enough to place them in the NAIA playoffs, making them the first Lion's base- ball team ever to play games in the post-season for Piedmont.

They competed against some of the Southeast's most competitive teams, some of them in the same conference, NAIA. With an overall record of 5-15 this year, this team improved significantly over their first year of play at Piedmont College. Coach Kelly Pardue is optimistic that next year 's numbers will only be higher with all but one player expected to return.

Included in one of the toughest districts in the state, the GIAC, they were 8-6 overall and 7-2 in the district. Coach Ellen Briggs considers herself very fortunate to have coached such a great group of young men, her "sons", she calls them! She was very proud of her men's team and when asked what made them so successful, she said "Talent and LOTS of practice!". Well, it paid off for this Lion's team and only the best is ex- pected from them in the future. Women's Soccer: 13 - Fall of 1993 was the first year Piedmont College supported a women's soccer team. In their inaugu- ral season, the Lady Lions were virtually unstop- pable. They had an awesome record of 13 wins, 4 losses, and 1 undecided game. These women, headed by Coach Greg Graber. can only improve with experience. Piedmont thanks the Lady Lions soccer team for an exciting season and wishes them the best in the seasons yet to come! 13 -4- 1 * HP P* Front L to R: Melonie Page, Jessica Velez, Brette Webb, Debbie Lawson, Julie Costello, and Molly Howell.

Sponsored by our very own Carol Dye, Head Librarian, the 1993-94 team was very successful. About a dozen girls originally went out for the team, but due to school and work conflicts, only six of them stuck with it for the whole year. Since the gym was used for basketball practice, the team practiced every night in the Dining Hall. They cheered at most home games and some of the away games. Scholar- ships will be offered next year to encourage participa- tion among more students. Good luck to them in the coming years!! Above: Sheila, Eva, and Anne rest briefly before their next cheer.

Families and friends gath- ered to witness this special com- mencement and to provide sup- port for their graduates. Pied- mont College was honored to have as its commencement speaker Georgia Senator Paul Coverdell, who also earned an 132 Graduation GRADUATION DAY honorary degree from Piedmont. As the ceremonies ended, graduates could scarcely be- lieve it was really over. After seem- ingly endless term papers and final exams, they headed out into the "real world" as Piedmont Alumni. They carry with them, though, the friendships, the ac- quired knowledge, and the sur- vival skills gained at Piedmont College to help them begin this new phase in their lives. I FRENDSFRIENDSFRENDSFRlri 134 Friends SIDSFRIENDSFRIENDSFRIENDS 135 Friends DEDICATION This 1 993-94 yearbook is gratefully dedicated to Mrs. Patty Martin, Assistant Dean of Students. "Dedication" is definitely the word to describe Patty. In the two short years she has been with us at Piedmont, she has been unwaveringly dedicated to every student's interests. She has been to bat for countless students who may have had problems with fellow faculty and administrators, even at the risk of losing her job. In her first year, she advised the Student Government Association as Acting Dean of Students, and in this, her second year, she advised many of them not as her duty, but on a personal level. If you have ever been in the Tutoring Lab (which she was in charge of ) outside her office, you have seen the dozens of students pouring in and out in just an hour's time. Some students have problems they need advice on, be they personal or academic. Patty was the chair of the Transitional Committee, which worked on new ways to help attract and keep those students who normally would not consider college as an option based on their previous academic performance. Out of this committee grew an entire program, the Program for Academic Success (PAS), dedicated to the same concern. Perhaps the most striking characteristic Patty has displayed, though, is her genuine concern for and desire to help students through personal crises. This became evident towards the end of the Spring semester when Patty launched the effort to raise ultimately more than one thousand dollars for a PAL student who was suddenly hospitalized and ran low on funds to pay his enormous medical bills. For all of these reasons and more, the Yonahian staff and a general concensus of the student body feel that Patty Martin deserves our dedication in return! 136 Dedication Patty Martin Far Left: Patty (center) has a good time at graduation with her friends and co-workers.

Happily for some, regretfully for others. One thing is certain, though: Piedmont College is a part of all of our lives now and we will never forget it. Here are a few (surprised!) faces to help bring back the memories you will one day THE END! Or is it? For some of us, it seems like the end, but for most of us it is only a new beginning. Some students have graduated, beginning a new phase of their lives with the help of Piedmont College; some begin new jobs while they take the sum- mer off from classes; and still other students just can't seem to get enough of classes and enrolled for the summer sessions! Whatever your summer is like, the end of one school year is only the beginning of an- other adventure in all of our lives, so let's relax and enjoy the ride! REF LD 4651 .P485 Y66 1994 c . 2
