MOUNT YONAH
Yonali Mountain, oft I ponder
As my thoughtful glances wander
O'er the splendor of thy might.
Whether hidden truth or seeming,
Granite fact or fancys' dreaming;
Shows thy meaning's truest light.
Was it merely accidental
That in chaos elemental
Thou wert molded there in rock?
\rt thou hut a ledge upstanding,
All the lower slopes commanding,
Yet art hut a senseless block?
Nay! I would invest thy story
With a greater worth and glory.
Born of all I feel ami see
In thy wrinkles, wisdom laden
Thy remoteness, well-nigh maiden.
These and more are real to me.
Thou dost stand a very token
Of the might of God, unbroken
Tho the solid earth must yield;
May we. also, stand assoundly
WOrking, trusting God profoundly,
Boundless force for Right to wield.
Yonah Mountain, now-as-ever —
Brooding, hack of our endeavor.
We shall gladly take thy name;
Only keep for Piedmont's fellows
All the hidden sense that mellows
Thee, and aid each righteous aim.
In the toner atop Yonah
At the top of the cliff (it Yonah

MR. A. R. VAN CLEAVE, President
"Memories are sunbeams through a sky of cloudy gray. Memories are roses in
the rain.'" So run the words of a song popular a generation ago. We think
of memories, however, as of real value at all times. Happy memories are roses
not only in the rain, hut in the sunshine. They brighten all our days.
This Yonahian will be for you a book of memories. I trust that to you they
will be memories of happy, useful days. I hope that they will be memories
of intellectual and spiritual progress, of work and play and worship, of associa-
tion with friendly students and friendly men and women of the faculty. May
this book always be to you a reminder of the golden days of youth, of days
well spent on the Piedmont campus.
When many years have fled and the fires of ambition have burned low, may
the pages of this, the Piedmont Yonahian. help you to relive the days "when
life was like a story holding neither sob nor sigh, in the olden, golden glory
of the days gone by."

Societies play an important part in the life at Piedmont. The J. S. Green
Society, founded by the pioneers of the college, has developed with the college
and has helped deepen the spirit of loyalty and devotion to the faculty and
administration. It has endeavored to create bonds between students and the
school, which will mean liberty attachment to the Green and Gold.

PROTROPIAN SOCIETY
The name, Protropian, is derived trom a Greek word meaning "In the fore-
front." Every member is looking forward, striving to make the organization a
vital part of our college life. This was the ideal of the charter members and
so it remains today. It lives in the heart of every Protropian.
Now with the past behind us with its victories and the future before us with
its opportunities, may no loyal "Prot" rest upon his glories but with the
energy and vision of the pioneer do his utmost to bring into realization,
"A Greater Piedmont" and "A Greater Protropian Society."

ALMA MATER
Where the Georgian hills grow purple,
In the sunset glow,
Proudly stands our Alma Mater,
In a vale below.
CHORUS
Green and Gold float on for aye;
Old Piedmont for thee,
We, thy loyal sons and daughters,
Bless thy memory.
As around the mighty oak tree,
Clings the ivy vine,
So around thee, dear old Piedmont
Loyal hearts entwine.
CHORUS
Here's to thee then dear old Piedmont !
May you ever stand,
As an emblem of the noblest
In our fair Southland.

AT PIEDMONT
PIEDMONT FOR MINE
Among the hills of Habersham
Where skies are ever blue,
Old Piedmont takes her stand —
The pride of Dixie Land.
And while the waters of Lake Demorest
Make ripples in the breeze,
And rainbows glow with Green and Gold
The words we'll sing are these —
CHORUS
It's Piedmont for mine, Piedmont for mine
That's the school I love the best,
Down in Georgia, Demorest,
The sun always shines on that place so fine.
And I'll always say as I say today,
It's Piedmont for mine.
Friendships form that brave the storm
Of hardships great or small;
Our lives are molded here,
Our Alma Mater Dear
And when we enter in that larger life
In sunshine or in rain,
Our hearts will turn again to Demorest
And then again we'll sing —
