The Battler 1961 Volume XV Published By The Annual Staff Cow pens High School Cowpens, South Carolina Editor........................ANN THREADGILL Co-Editor.........................PATTI HOON Business Manager-----------------CHERYL YATES To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven . A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. - Ecclesiastes 3: 1-11 Administration and Faculty School Life Dedication Classes Activities Table of Contents Athletics Features Advertisements MRS. THELMA WILKINS We, the Annual Staff of Cowpens High, proudly dedicate this Volume XV of The Battler to you, Mrs. Thelma Wilkins, for your untiring efforts which you have so gen- erously given to Cowpens High.

ROSS This fine issue of The Battler portrays the best in Cowpens High School. The staff and sponsors are to be congratulated on a difficult task well done. In the years to come this book will become more meaningful to each student because it will be a tangible link with the past--the past spent in anticipation of the future. Only in retrospect will you come to fully appreciate this school, its faculty, and its influence. It is my earnest hope and prayer that this school has prepared and will con- tinue to prepare each of you to meet the important tomorrows of your life with confidence born of adequate preparation. Congratulations to The Battler staff. You have worked diligently and faithfully to make available to us this fine yearbook and many will cherish its pages through the years. Just a thought to leave with each of you: Nothing left loose ever accomplishes much. No horse goes anywhere until he is harnessed. No gas ever drives a car until it is confined in the tank. No river is useful for power and light until it is channeled prop- erly. No life ever accomplishes much until it is disciplined and dedicated to a great cause or goal. Has your life been disciplined? My prayer is that it has. and that the world will be made better by your having succeeded in reaching them. B.S. Faculty MR. RALPH L. ALLISON , Clemson College; M.Ed., U.S.C. Agriculture MR. J. C.
