Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1974 volume:

m Darlington Academy 1974 Darlington, South Carolina We are indeed proud to dedicate this 1974 Kinesis yearbook to Mrs. Lil- lian Goddard, the headmistress of Darlington Academy who for the past four years, has given faithfully of her time and talents. She was chosen this year as the new President of the South Carolina Independent School Head- masters Association. Mrs. Goddard a native of Savannah, Georgia, was listed in the 1969 edition of Personalities in the South”. She was also named Islander of the Month in the June 1968 Islander Magazine while living on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Before coming to Darlington Academy, she was the headmistress of the Sea Pines Academy at Hilton Head Island. She has also taught in public schools in Georgia and in South Carolina. In the community of Darlington, Mrs. Goddard is an active citizen who participates in many events and organization. She is a member of the St. Matthew's Episcopal Church where she sings in the choir. She is also in- cluded in the membership of the Darlington County Historical Society and the Darlington Pilots Club. The immediate past-president of the Thursday Book Club, she is also involved in the District Chapter of the Delta Kappa Gamma Education Sorority as one of its active members. During her past years as the headmistress of Darlington Academy, Mrs. Goddard has done much to facilitate the early condition of the young school. She is responsible for the planning of each individual student's schedule for the year, and quite often willingly revises the schedule accord- ing to each person’s curriculum. Sometimes termed a Peacemaker,” Mrs. Goddard is an arbitrator in problems which may arise among student and teachers, Academt students feel free to discuss any personal problems and to share with the headmistress any new ideas or prosed activities which, in some way will possibly help to better the existence of Darlington Academy. A charming, out-going personality, Mrs. Goddard has been an inspiration to both students and faculty of Darlington Academy. Mrs. Goddard enjoyed being presented the varsity basketball trophy. Speaking at l pper School Assemblies. Mrs. Goddard gave advice on studies and conduct. Available in person or by phone, Mrs. Goddard always has been readv to listen and to discuss events with students, teachers, and parents. Mrs. Goddard covered many miles among the three campus building, keeping in touch with student of all ages. 2 roaorunheks Jr ’■ ' JBHfeV fi� i L � 7 '.

A time when dreams, hopes, and ideas took shape and implanted themselves within the hearts and minds of individuals and groups. A time when life began and its spirit breathed goals and aims into the body. A person’s roots form the memories making up the background from whence a person comes. Just as one’s roots make up his individuality, the same is true with any institution or organization formed on the beliefs which a person or a group of people stand for. Darlington Academy is such an institution. The ideals and aims which brought about its existence are still apparent in its everyday reality, and its roots form not only its reputation but also its service to the community. Behind any true cause, there are people who firmly believe in it and support its functions to the very best of their ability. In much the same way that the trunk of a tree separates into strong divisions supporting the higher limbs and branches, the groups and committees responsible for an institution’s solid foundation and framing must be willing to orga- nize themselves in such a way that will support the institution. In Dar- lington Academy, its administration, faculty, and staff, are the supporting beams of the school. In making the guiding standards pertaining to the Academy, they display the con- fidence invested in them by the body of the institution. They show to the surrounding community that the in- stitution which they repre- sent is an excellent example of quality leadership and individualism. Branching out from the trunk divisions of a tree are the spreading limbs which form the actual visual structure of the plant. The ap- parent need for a fac- ulty, staff, and admin- istration within the school would he greatly nullified with- out the necessary addi- tion of the body of the school students. The students within an in- stitution are perhaps its most active mem- bers. In addition to adding to the charac- terization and reputa- tion of the school, they participate in the many everyday activities within the institution. At Darlington Acad- emy, the student body is the school's main in- gredient, providing the continuous life style within the organization. The Iaiwer, Middle, and Upper Schools arc the three limbs of the Academy. Separately, they conform to their own situations and or- ganize to provide the atmosphere most suit- able to their specified way of life. Together, they work as a united body—constantly striv- ing to share with the community the “better education for which their school is designed. And when they accomplish that goal they will have met one of the necessary requirements in life to he the most you can and get the most out of life. 6 ™� Hoadrunnar ■«« «� m Rig StHvna £8£@? KS The active role which an institution plays depends upon its members and their function. The activities carried out by the hodv of that institution deter- mine the atmosphere found within its walls and the ideals which its member lean on in forming their future lives. The role of the branches of a tree is to give way to the process of life carried on within the leaves. Without the leaves, the role of the branches would be without purpose and meaning. Therefore, the types of activities perfromed within Darlington Academy, greatly influence the characters, personalities, and moral standards of its students. The reputation of Darlington Academy within the communits is gained bs the activities carried out by its students. Their vers actions displas their thought, motives, and standards and develop for the school a sense of worthiness and usefulness. They show that life is worth living onlv if one as an individual is willing to stand for what he thinks is best for himself. Darlington Academy strives to please each student by allowing that student to develope for himself a sense of character and worth. Bv participating in the school's many activities and functions, the student gains an insight into the real meaning of life and education and what is means to trulv believe in oneself. THE ACADEMY’S GRADUATION OF 1973 Handy Tvncr graduate, with Judy. Regina Tyner, graduated of the Academy, with Danny Dubose, 1972 graduates. 10 The 1973 Darlington Academy graduation was held in the Florence-Darlington Technical Educa tion auditorium.

Mrs. Goddard and Mr. Frierson talk after the graduation. Timmy Moore was at the graduation to watch his brother Danny graduate. Lynn Tyner and Tina Psillor, Junior Marshalls at the graduation. Field Day, an annual event at Darlington Academy, was held in Vlarch of last year. Students decked out in shorts and other summer wear, partici- pated in athletic events and enjoyed a meal on the school grounds. Indi- vidual teachers were supervisors over particular events and kept records of the highest jumps, longest jumps, and best speeds, in the major divisions. On October 24, 1973, the students and faculty of Darlington Academy were honored to hear the talented and popular team of Steve and Maria Gardner as they presented a concert in music in the school's gymnasium. The couple, natives of Chicago, Illinois, have traveled around the world in such events as Key '73 in Finland, and with the Billy Graham Crusades. Also involved in lay renewals and revivals, the duo were well accepted on their second trip to Darlington Academy. Among the working crew at Darlington Academy for the past four years, John Miller, an active member, expressed the desire to have gradu- ated from Darlington Academy. He was later presented, by the Academy, a simulated diploma stating that he had, indeed, graduated from “the school of hard knocks”. Fun, joy and competition are found during Academy's annual field dav. 12 Not competing in any events, some students find time to watrh others. FIELD DAY STEVE AND MARIA MR. JOHN MILLER Back for the second time, Steve and Maria put on anothei great performance. Mr. Miller finally gets his wish and receives a diploma from the Academy. 13 First through eighth graders hold classes here. Each morning at 8:25 the students breath life into the upper school building. The cafeteria and gym are familiar places to relax. 14 EXPANSION ADDS GYM After emerging at first as a comparatively small brick building, the physical being of Darlington Academy has expanded to become a three-wing structure, complete with a lunchroom and gymnasium. Students coming to Darlington Academy during its first year conformed to the noise and almost constant presence of workman who were continually striving to complete the partially finished building. By the end of the first school year, students had an outside basketball court which was also used for a volleyball and kick-ball play area. Two years ago, construction was begun for an Upper School building which was to house a much-needed lunchroom and gymnasium. When school opened for the 1973-74 year, the building was ready to stand the test. Darlington Academy now stands completed—for the time being. And from the diligent labor of the construc- tion crews, the school’s faculty and students are able to enjoy all the comforts of a “home away from home.” The pre-primary building is located behind the lower school building, enclosed by a fence. A lone worker measures the floor space for the bleachers in the gym. IS ADMINISTRATION GOVERNS SCHOOL Front row: Gerald Salisbury, Treasury; Jack Friarson, Vice-President; Robert Goodson, President.

To Mrs. Lillian Goddard, Mr. Ed Fasold, and tlie Academy’s Board of Directors goes the task of decision-making for the students and faculty of Darlington Academy. They devotedly spend many hours solving arising problems and, in general, helping to make this school one which will ably offer the best quality education possible. The school body owes much to these individ- uals; however it is impossible to convey to them die appreciation extended for all they have done. With their continuing guidance, support and help, Darlington Academy will surely be a school with a name of which to be proud. Mr. DeWitt, Mr. Morrison, and Mr. Coodson discuss Darlington Academy events. 19 PRE PRIMARY AND PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS Mrs. Carol vn Hubbard, Fifth Grade Mia. Clare Fasold.

Mrs. Charles Miles and her daughter Lynn, sell baked goods at the Darlington Academy Bazar. 26 Tlie Parents Guild of Darlington Academy, composed of the Mothers Club and the Booster Club, was very active this year in organizing many school projects. The annual ba- zar, along with the TV Raffle, drew many people and proved to he a success this year, as in the past. Among its other projects, the Guild sponsored a traveling concession stand and the yearly barbeque. Another big event was the first Academy Womanless Wedding in which most of the men in the club partici- pated. The well-attended occasion was the first big project held in the school’s new gymnasium. The ladies in the Mothers Club were also responsible for the serving of or- dered lunches to faculty and students. Many hours were spent preparing, serving, and cleaning up during and after the lunch periods. The entire Parents Guild deserves com- plete recognition for its fine work and support of the school. Many supporters of Darlington Academy are found browsing at the bazar. Mrs. Sharon DeWitt, Mrs. Ellen Walker, and Mrs. I tBue Anderson set up the cash- ier desks. Mrs. Dolphus Morrison and Mrs. Tom Baxley relax after a hectic lunch period. Mr. John Odom and Mr. Dolphus Morrison about at the first Academy Hortense, better known as Mr. Bob Coodson says, “I do with a little help! womanless wedding.

The Lower School Student Council began its first school-wide proj'ect this year as it promoted the Camp- bell’s Soup Label Sav-a-Thon. Students and teachers were asked to save all Campbell's soup labels in an ef- fort to win more audio-visual equipment for the school. Although they did not accumulate enough la- bels to get all the audio-visual equipment they wanted, they did obtain a view master. Assemblies were held weekly in the Lower School with different classes and groups presenting plays and programs for the other students. The Lower School students also made designs and figures to cover the bulletin boards in their halls. What could be strange enough to distract everyone's attention? 32 Trying to bite a swinging apple is impossible.

The Darlington Academy Boys’ Beauty Review was held in the gym w ith members of the year- book staff along with Upper School classmates participating. With the yearbook deadline set in early March, the annual staff vivaciously struggled to produce a yearbook full of memories and important events. Under the direction of Mrs. Leslie Whittum, the staff spent many long hours improving layouts, w riting copy, and se- lecting the ideal pictures for each page. “Don’t worry Lynn, we’ll finish annual. JUNIOR CLASS Joey Abate, Kathy Broach. Jr.-Sr. Chairmen; Mrs. Brown, Adv. Several of the Juniors take a rest from unloading the prizes. Jerry Kirven tries out his new bike that he won during sales. Dusty Wilkes gets excited as he waits for his ring fitting. Mr. Faddy talks to the Juniors about their rings and prices. Mr. Bailey instructs the Juniors what to do with the prizes. Kathy Broach lets students guess amount of money in the jar. Joey Abate keeps count of the money made during the sales. Forrest Kibler breaks away from the sales to do some studies. The Junior class, under the direction and super- vision of their advisor, Mrs. Brown, strived to have the best Junior-Senior yet at Darlington Academy by having a completely successful magazine sale to raise money for the annual event. The first rewarding moments came when the doors were opened to the school gvm the night of the Junior-Senior Prom. The decorations and cater- ing arrangements made by the entire Junior Class added a special touch to the charm of the night. 67 Our cheerleaders execute a combination of two of the acrobatic stunts learned at the summer clinic. They preform the cheer with spirit created by our student body.

This year, the Academy’s nine active cheer- leaders supported the three basketball teams and the soccer team with vim and vigor as they led pep rallies at lunch and yelled with enthusiastic spirit at the seasonal games and the tournaments. Under the supervision of M iss Carol Hamer, the squad practiced weekly to present new cheers. Considered by both students and faculty as the backbone of school spirit, the Darlington Academy squad also led in the singing of the Academy Alma Mater at the weekly Upper School assemblies. 69 HOMECOMING 1973-74 Smiling radiantly. Homecoming Queen. Susan Andrews poses under the sixth-grade poster. Darlington Academy held its second annual Home- coming on Friday, October 5, 1973. The crowning of Su- san Andrews as the new Queen came during the half- time of the eventful soccer game with the Thomas Hart Hornets. Lynn Tyner, escorted by Doug Gehrke, was chosen Maid of Honor and was presented her award by Academy Athletic Director Wayne Bell. The Homecoming Court consisted of Senior represen- tatives: Fay Weatherford, escorted by Steve Gehrke; Jocelyn Matthews, escorted by Elwood Anderson; Jeannie Lowery, escorted by Robert Humphries; Tina Psillos, escorted by Larry Pietarinen; and Louigene Blackman, escorted by Willis Carter. From the Junior Class was Betsy DeWitt, escorted by Jerry Kirven. Penny Stokes, escorted by Frankie Woodard, represented the Sophomore Class, and Dana Lofton, escorted by Joey Matthews, came from the Freshman Class. Harold Bra- sington was the young crown-bearer for the event, while Trish Normanly was introduced as the flower girl. Tim Norwood, an Academy senior, was Master of Ceremonies for the well-attended occasion. Although the opposing Hornets scored during the first half of the game, an early second-half goal provided a tie with the arch-rival. The Independent Schools Confer- ence rules prohibited an overtime, so the game finally climaxed with a 1-1 tie score.

The Darlington Academy soccer team, coached by Ath- letic Director Wayne Bell, spent many long, hard hours practicing on the hot, dusty fields in an effort to work up new offensive and defensive actions. In the second annual Homecoming game, the Roadrunners tied the Thomas Hart Hornets with a 1-1 final score. In the other seasonal games, the team showed their effort in providing many close scores with more experienced teams. A school record of the accu- mulation of goals scored in one game was set by Joey Abate at a total of five goals.

The other members of the team give the starting line support. The Girls Basketball team, coached by Ath- letic Director Wayne Bell, showed great im- provement and even greater capability as they fought their way through thirteen exciting sea- sonal games. Exceptional ball-handling, lighten- ing speed, and strategic plays led the girls through games with tough competition and placed them as winners in several games. Al- though they captured no titles in major region play-offs, the Academy team showed admirable team-work and sportsmanship.

Under the supervision of Mrs. Sara! Brown, the group organized itself and made rules befitting the S( ciety. With the growth of the school body, more members may fo added to the expanding group and more projects will possibly h sponsored by the Society. This year the Darlington Academy Student Forum participated i many leading activities and introduced new innovations to the sti dent body and faculty. They have also provided again this yea school supplies and snacks available at break times, all found withi the school store.

I hope you aren’t out of Reese’s Peanut Butter cups. The first Drama Club at Darlington Acad- emy was organized this year under the direc- tion of Mrs. Leslie Whit turn. The club’s main project besides their play was the sponsorship of the Robin Hood players who traveled from Arizona to present the play, Rob Roy to the entire student body. Thirty-one enthusiastic members practiced for several weeks and then finally presented the play. The People Versus Maxine Lowe, consisting of three acts. Presented on March 15 in the school’s gym, the dramatization was a big success. The first major project of the newly-formed group was a “Weigh the Administration’’ contest in which any student could guess the entire weight of all teachers in the Upper School for 25c. The prize, a five-dollar bill, was awarded to Jim Anderson, a junior. An- other project sponsored by the staff was a “Valentine Delivery Service” operation. Both students and faculty expressed great desire to see the Roadrunner Review contin- ued each year in the manner of an Academy tradition, with the Editor being chosen from the graduating class. The Robin Hood players came from Arizona to present the play “Rob Roy” to the Academy’s student body. DRAMA CLl’B Front Row: Joey Matthews. Dana Lofton. Betsy DeWitt.

The members of the club are chosen from those students on any Varsity team who have lettered at least once in any sport. The club was formed in 1972 for those athletes let- tering the year before. Its purpose is to promote the con- tinuation of sports within the school. The Science Club, once again under the supervision of Wayne Bell, expanded its group this year by including members of the Middle School as well as the Upper School. This year the club took a trip to Columbia, South Carolina. Observing growth patterns and plant structure, members of the Club found the study of science to be in- teresting and fascinating as well as informative.

' ® Gee, Miss Hamer, do you want me to read this out loud? 93 Mr. Faddy showed the seniors the senior clavs keys so they could decide on what they wanted. Joel Ludlam Ben Matthews thinks about the homecoming poster. Consisting of a group of twelve, this year’s Senior Class is by far the largest in the four-vcar history of Darlington Academy. The class began their last school year bv excitedly looking forward to the night of graduation and by striving to make their last year a very memorable one. After much discussion and sampling, the project of selling almond clusters was chosen in order to raise money for the Senior gift to the school. Every student participated in some kind of extracurricular activ- ity, including sports. Tim Norwood and Jocelyn Matthews were President and Treasurer of the Student Forum, respectively, while Ben Matthews was the class representative. Jeannie Lowery and Louigene Blackman represented the news media as editor and assistant editor of the Roadrunner Review, respectively. Lynn Tyner and Fay Weatherford were on the annual staff as editor and business man- ager, respectively. Classmates Robert Spivey, Susan Andrews, Joel Ludlam, Timmy Moore, and Tina Psillos were hard at work as members of either the soccer or bas- ketball teams. Amidst the strain of Senior year activities and exams, the class held up well under the leadership of Mrs. Leslie Whittum. Newspapers, a dictionary, and Cliff notes were useful to Fay as she studied for English class this year. It also re- quired a lot of work. Mrs. J. T. Langston, former teacher of English at the Darlington Academy I'pper School, invited the Senior Class of 1974 to her home. This occasion was a very de- lightful reunion for Mrs. Langston and her former students.

As each individual set the pattern for his life here, the moments may lx? relived through- out its pages. In return for the trials and tribulations experienced during the production of this yearbook, we hope each of you will find something meaningful to you. In striving to achieve a goal of such magnitude, there are often disappoint- ments and frustrations. To the dedicated members of the Kinesis staff, I would like to express my deepest and most sincere love and gratitude for working so dili- gently with me to make this yearbook a truly memorable one. There will always he a very special place in my heart for the staff advisor Mrs. Leslie YVhittum, who stood beside me in each and every mo- ment. Because of her never-ending dedica- tion and loyalty, she has proved to be a better friend than I could have ever hoped for. At this time I would like to thank espe- cially all of the Upper School teachers for their cooperation in helping this an- nual meet its deadline. I would also like to thank the parents for late suppers and, most of all, extended curfews. Their unfal- tering support is appreciated. We are for- ever indebted to our Headmistress Lillian Goddard for her understanding and con- cern. To my co-editor I extend my heart- felt thanks for giving unselfishly of his time and talents. With the closing of the year 1973-74, I leave you with these words: “All that we love Becomes a part of us.” copied Lynn Tyner Editor no AUTOGRAPHS y i 4 % f '' . V ‘ -
