FOREWORD As citizens of South Carolina, we enjoy the privileges, opportunities, and scenic beauties offered by our historic state. Among the privileges bestowed upon South Carolinians are free education, recreational facilities, and the arts. The opportunities of our state stem from its natural resources. The industrial potential is supplemented by our rich agri- cultural regions, mining, productive forests, and increasing transporta- tion. Much of our leisure time is spent enjoying the scenic beauties which stretch from the rugged Blue Ridge mountains to the Grand Strand of famous Carolina beaches. The 1966 FLORENTINE is a tribute to South Carolina, our native state. We Carolinians, with the great potential in mind, should strive to make the best use of our resources for ourselves and our posterity. The sure success of this potential is measured by the success of its youth. To assure this, we must live by the mottoes of our state, “Prepared in mind and re- sources,” and “While I breathe, I hope.”

ALMA MATER To Florence High, our Florence High, We lift a song of praise That echoes clear from year to year Through all succeeding days. In thee we find our guiding star To service in the world: As soldiers we seek victory With banners all unfurled. To us the Gold and Purple mark A symbol tried and true; To it pledge we fidelity And loyalty anew. Whene’er that banner waves on high O’er field or track or hall. To that bright bond our hearts respond; We heed its stirring call. O sun, that shines in Southern Skies, O moon, that gilds the night, O stars, that gleam on field and stream, O God of life and light, Send forth Thy blessings from above, Send hope that conquers fear To Carolina’s sons that love Our Alma Mater dear. —Miss Emily Brothers
