They open the way at DillonHigh School to a fortress of learning, where democracy is a permanent part of the curriculum of every sub- ject, and where the laws of fair play and sportsmanship are taught. They swing wide to expel ignor- ance and prejudice. They open and shut to remind us of our duty to work in Dillon High School and to be sincere in our at- titude toward its traditions, so that we may receive the benefits it of- fers. . They close silently to suggest that such an attitude will reflect well upon our school, and thus preserve those same traditions which are our heritage as students. Captured in the approach to, the passage through, and the departure from our doorways is the student's attitude toward the ,school itself, toward the faculty, toward his fel- low students, and toward the activ- ities in which he participates. These are the component parts, the pulse of school life. maine K-ww: wg., , . 91:13 b ggi, as Jus ,Q ,Y X Q is ,E Dillon High School Alma Mater Hail to Thee, our Alma Mater Our hearts belong to Thee.

In recognition of his abili- ties as an English teacher, athletic coach, and counselor, and in appreciation of his interest in and devotion to the students of Dillon High School, we humbly and affectionately dedicate this, the 1955 WILDCAT to ..... John W. Fowler, Jr. LEARNING Through the portals of Main Entrance many a student with many a vision has passed: King Arthur with his sturdy Knights, bewigged fore- fathers at Independence Hall, Julius Caesar lead- ing his armies to victory, and the blue -eyed blond in algebra class. Dillon High School's Main Entrance is more than a vision. lt is a passage- way to the worlds of knowledge hitherto unex- plored. It opens the way toa fortress of learn- ing. 7 TO THE GRADUATES OF 1955: Working with you for the past twelve years has been a great pleas- ure and privilege. I remember when you entered the first grade, a group of bright-eyed youngsters, setting out on a new adventure. Now, after what seems only a few years, you are completing your public school training and experience and are moving on to greater fields of ad- venture. It is not everyone's privilege to live with a group for this period of time and to enjoy the thrill of seeing each of you mature into young men and women. For this opportunity, I am grateful indeed. Since you entered the public schools, there has been one phase MR. I. V. MARTIN Superintendent of progress that stands out in my mind. You have developed an ap- preciation of per sonal responsibility in helping fellow students and teach- ers to live together in a more co- operative manner. This achievement has strengthened our school program and, above all, helped each of you to develop as stronger members of a democratic society. Leaving us with an appreciation of your individual responsibility to others will bring happiness and success to each of you in your chosen field of service. You will always be remembered as one of the finest groups with which I have been closely associated. 2. MR.

LEISURE Doors bang,shoes clatter, water splashes, laughter resounds. It's the locker room, the basket room, the showers after three! The doorway to the gymnasium opens the way to an- other group of outside activities. Through these activi- ties , the student discovers himself as an individual and gains a knowledge of the importance of co-operation. As each athletic activity passes in its season, the student realizes more and more the importance of a doorway that breathes the laws of fair play and sports- manship. 61 THEY TACKLED, BLOCKED, AND RAN FIRST ROW: Benson, Townsend, Berry, Proctor, Jenerette, Martin, Carmichael, H FOOTBALL DHS OPPONENT 0 Marion 0 0 Bennettsville 6 6 Latta '7 12 Cheraw 7 33 Chesterfield 6 12 Lake View 13 20 Clio 13 18 Mullins 39 14 Fairmont 0 .

SCHEDULE March 22 at Lower Marlboro 25 at Latta 29 McColl 31 Bennettsville April 5 at Lake View 8 Lower Marlboro 12 Latta 15 at McColl 19 at Bennettsville 22 Lake View With memories of last year's fine baseball team still fresh, the 1955 crew stepped onto the diamond with an even higher aim. Perhaps the boys will have their mitts full trying to parallel the 1954 team that went all the way to the Lower State finals, The 'Cats don't lack power as is evidenced by Bud - dy Moffitt and Sam Faulk, last year's batting kings, Catcher Robert Hamilton will be performing at the plate again while Willie Jackson will be hurling the ball, Johnny Thompson, Dan Hamilton, and Charles Coates round out the veteran infield. FUN, FRIENDSHIP AND PHYSICAL FITNESS RIGHT: Boys' physical education class enjoys a basketball sessio BELOW: Margaret Earle Williams, Gloria Griffin, Margie Cromartie, and Peggy Kirby check their figures on the mat, SPARK TEAMWORK AND FAIR PLAY LU TER There are doorways that reflect a feeling of pride in accomplishment and open the way for a brighter future. This particular doorway, though seldom used for passage, is an inspiration and a challenge to students. Plans for the future are born on both sides of its span --the science laboratories inside and the steps with a. guiding light on the outside. 73 MISS HI-LIFE Lorraine Myers HOMECOMING QUEEN Peggy Cole COLONIAL BELLE Patricia Hayes MISS WILDCAT June Moody MISS HI MISS Jewell Taylor KING TEEN Johnny LeC-lette PRINCE DILLON Floyd Lee MISS CITIZENSHIP Joan Pace HOMECOMING QUEEN PEGGY COLE The queen and attendants: Valerie Osteen.
