The 1944 Tonahian is dedicated to

Earl Kendall Carter

Who Is the only person important enough to have
a reserved table at the Coffee Cup; who enjoys
both Shakespeare and Agatha Christie; who reads
poetry beautifully at Christmas tree parties;
who is perpetually haunting miscreants who keep
his library books over- time; who likes coffee,
cigarettes, crossword puzzles, and the little
Danes; who, for nine years, has been one of the
most vital personalities on the campus.

At the beginning of the year, a need was
felt for merging many of the organizations on
the campus. Formerly there were four literary
societies — Gamma Chi and Theta Zeta Phi for
women, and Protropian and J.S. Green for men.
The men's societies last year disbanded for the
duration. This year the women's societies and
several other organizations — Students' Associa-
tion, Association of Women Students' Council,
Y.W.C.A., and Y.M.C.A. — merged into one organi-
zation, the Students' Association of Piedmont
College. This arrangement will last only for
the duration.

RELIGION COMMITTEE

The objectives of the Religion Committee are to emphasize
reverence and intensify a spirit of worship on the campus, to
encourage student and faculty participation in religious activ-
ities, and to promote programs that will definitely meet the
spiritual needs of the individual. Reactions from students indi-
cate that much progress is being made toward the attainment of
these goals.

The Religion Committee is composed of several smaller
committees of students and faculty members:

WHO'S WHO itMONIi STUDENTS IN
A MB HI CO COLLEGESANI) UNIVERSITIES

JANE ADAMS

Jane* 8 unusual personality and fine quali-
ties of leadership have made her one of the most
popular students at Piedmont. Her most impor-
tant contributions have been in the fields of
athletics and student government. She has been
vice-president of Students* Association, presi-
dent of the Junior Class, a member of the
Supreme Court and of the A. W. S. Council. As
an outstanding basketball player during her
first two years at school, and as director of
the girls* physical education program, she has
proved her exceptional athletic ability.

MARTHA FORT ANDERSON

During her four years at Piedmont, Martha
has distinguished herself by her excellent scho-
lastic record and her contribution to the musi-
cal life of the school. She was awarded the
Travelli Scholarship for the highest average in
the Freshman Class, and has occupied a permanent
place on the Dean's List. Her musical activities
include membership in the Music Club, one year
secretary-treasurer; participation in several
piano recitals; and serving as Glee Club accom-
panist. She is a member of the Torch Club- — an
honorary society for Piedmont women.

FREEMAN MASHBURN

Although Freeman has been at Piedmont for
only one year, he has been one of our most active
and capable leaders, especially in religious
work. He has served as chairman of the Religion
Committee, which has the tremendous responsi-
bility of planning chapel and vesper programs,
and has personally conducted many religious pro-
grams on the campus. Until his graduation at
the end of the second quarter, he was president
of the Senior Class.
