Governor Zell Miller was asked by Dr.Lyn Walker to come address the Piedmont Leadership Forum during the Fall of 94. To the students benefit the governor came. The governor started with positive words to the students about their educational future. He then opened the floor to questions from the students. The governor was most friendly in answering any questions the students had. This was an event that Piedmont students will remember for years to come. Gov. Miller takes a minute after his address to talk with Allan Schoi Gov. Miller addressing the Piedmont Leadership Forum. Resha, Chris, James, and Jarvis ten attentively to the governor. De Students, The theme of this year's Yonahian, "A Year of New Beginnings'" could not be more apt. A new graduate program. A new record enrollment. A new distance learning facility.

Well, we arc!! As always, New Beginnings start at the top with the increase or faculty and start. The most shocking new thing on campus was the new food service provided by Morrison s. Along with these new items at PC. we have new friendships developing. Also the rowing team became the newest member of the sport family introduced to Piedmont College this year. And List by not least, the presence of male cheerleaders. We hope that this vcar of "New Beginnings has provided each member of the faculty, staff, and student bodv with a positive outlook tor Piedmont College S future. lop Middh I i Boling having .. clan begins.

Many students may reel a little apprehensive about meeting new friends but just ask any upperclassman here at dear old Piedmont and they will tell you just how easy it is to make friends at college. This is where lifetime frienships start from the ole' chum to the most cherished spouse. Once here you will soon discover that friendship is the acceptance of people for exactly who they are not what they could become. This year like so many in the past has created an abundance of friendships. Just flip the pages of this yearbook and sec for yourself. Homecoming Homecoming Homecoming '94 was a time of reunion, fun, and memory making. The students started the festivities off with a dance where incredible music was performed by the band "The Grateful Dread." They were Jammin' Man. The night of dancing and fun was capped off with the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen, Bucky Strickland and Wendy Dukes. 8 Piedmont College Homecoming Above Top: Correction for the Yearbook.

The spirit of Christ- mas was brought to life by the annual Christmas tree lighting in Daniel Lobby. The French Christmas Celebration also helped set the mood. There was singing, fine french food, and for entertainment a play entitled "The Bald Soprano", which was hilarious. Toy's for Tot's was also a great success this year. And the Piedmont Choral brought in record breaking numbers at their concert. 14 Piedn Collq The Days of Our Lives Residents Life Staff Dorm Life The summer semester of '94 brought new beginnings with the addi- tion of John Judicki, Purcell I lall, and [ocylen [ohnson, Getman- Babcock, to the residents lite staff, later in the year Richard York joined this team as the Resident Director of Wallace 1 lall. l he three of them, along with their RA'S, providided resident students with a lot ot laughter, tears, and memories.

But it is the colorful people that make this campus such a fun place to be. With small student teacher ratios Piedmont's Faculty and Statt can give each and every student the attention they de- serve. There may be times that a student may become frus- trated with a professor but, one can be assured that the profes- sors at Piedmont are looking out for the well being of all students. 1 hank you Piedmont Faculty and Staff for being loyal to your students.

In their third year of competition in the G.A.C./NAIA District 25, they improved on their last years record of 5 and 15 to 9 and 11. The ladies finished the conference at 3 and losing 3 only to Shorter College(#16 nationally), Berry College(#13 nationally), and North Geor- gia College. The team consisted of Melanie Grant, Sherry Deweese, Jenny Bender, Tammy Miles, Shashonna Davis, Meredith Byrne, and Dione Eady. Grant led the team at #1 singles and doubles. Deweese played the #2 singles and teamed with Grant at the #1 doubles position. Jenny Bender, a freshman from Arcadia, California and the sea- sons most valuable player, was 1 2 and 6 on the conference with only her losses to Shorter and Berry College. Miles played the #4 position in singles and #2 doubles with Bender where they posted an 1 1 and 7 record for the season. Playing the #5 single players and doubles partner with Meredith Byrne to pull out some remarkable matches that clinched the team win at 5-4.

They have accomplished these feats while fielding only one senior. A fact that strikes fear into the hearts of their future opponents. The women's team had 3 G.A.C. All-Conference members who were Brandy Clark, Rebecca White and Aron Levy. * The Lady Lions' were elimi- nated from the playoffs due to a very controversial points sys- tem used by the conference in ranking teams. We are very proud of our Lady Lions' Soc- cer team and are looking for- ward to next season. Above: Sometimes strange things happen at si defend her team in a strange way. Karate? r games.

Cheerleading has been predominately all female in our region of the country for quite some time. However under the sponsorship of Carol Dye that has now changed. Carol started the year out with an all female squad. Then one day Andy Witt and Spencer Wright decided that they would ask Carol if they could try out. To their surprise she put them on the roster. Andy and Spencer decided to ask two more of their friends Colin Campbell and Jason Seymour to try out. This lead to the first ever co-ed squad on campus. The guys and girls worked great together. They definitely livened the games with their routines. 2.

Little did they know they would be leaving with him. This came as a shock to the students of Piedmont. We will miss President Elger very much. These students come from many different back- grounds and each have had their own personal struggles to obtain their education. Besides gain- ing an education, friends ,and experience these graduates have gained the ability to go into the working world with confidence. Good luck in the future gradu- ates. We will miss you lots.
