Let’s Face It!
Young Harris College is buzzing on Facebook with great conversations between alumni,
faculty, staff, students and friends. Here’s a little of what was overheard recently…
On Valentine’s Day, we asked what do you LOVE about YHC
Join the conversation at facebook.com/youngharriscollege and share your thoughts!
It’s where I met my husband in
the summer of 1986. Today is our
25th Valentine’s Day together;
our first was at YHC.
Susan Duttweiler Campbell, ’88
The lifelong friendships with the
greatest folks and all the great
memories that have always bonded
us since the mid-70s! Still making
many new great YHC friends that I
didn’t get to know back then. How
awesome is that
The feeling I still get
driving into the valley.
Melanie Martin, ’96
Patty Garrett-Smith, ’77
Well, in ’58, one had to
be a sophomore to have
a car on campus.
Wayne Troutman, ’62
I agree with Melanie, it is
an awesome feeling. Like
the feeling of returning to
a loving home or spending
time with an old dear friend.

Tuesday Traditions Trivia
was a huge hit…
Back in the day, most students got
to campus by taking the bus (often
sending luggage by rail). In the late
1950s, students had to meet one specific
requirement to be eligible to keep an
automobile on campus – what was it
Everything…Truly an experience of a lifetime which changed my
life forever. Wonderful memories of special people who were truly
concerned about me as an individual and making a definite and
positive mark in this world. My mark may be small but the impact was
tremendous on me as a human being. God bless YHC.
Betty Robbins, ’69
I couldn’t afford a bus, we
hitched a ride back and forth
to Statham. Usually in the
backseat of a ’40 Ford Coupe.
Bill Lyle, ’52
I love the willingness of
our professors to go out
of their way and help their
students succeed!
Kyle Huneycutt, ’13
What is taking place in this snapshot—
and, if you know what’s going on, do you
have any special memories to share
Did we get a good
education there Of
course! But what it left
us with after graduation
is much more fabulous memories about a time which
many of us remember as one of the best times of our
lives. And every time we meet someone new and find
out that they went to YHC, there is an immediate bond,
no matter how old they are or when they graduated,
because nobody except those of us who were lucky
enough to experience YHC can understand the magic
that is there.
Pam Jensen Jones, ’75
My buddy Max and I rode the Trailways bus
from our home in Miami to Atlanta, then
switched buses to one that looked just like
this one. After a curvy ride it let us off right
in front of the old admin building where we
were greeted by Dr. Andrus. Our first time
at YHC. This was September 1963.
Rik DeVoe, ’65
(According to the 1958-1959 YHC Catalog, students with
an average grade of C in all subjects were eligible to keep
automobiles on campus. The following conditions also had to be
met: vehicle registered with Dean’s Office; evidence of insurance
and driver’s license; approval by parent or guardian in writing;
and prescribed travel voucher provided by dormitory head with
approval on it before leaving campus on each trip.)
