THE FLORENTINE g 9 CLASS HISTORY fContinuedD l FATHER TIME tsmilingl: But the PROPHECY CContinuedD school life. Miss Campbell, French and Spanish teacher, was unable to rejoin the faculty. Miss Cole and Miss Dozier had gone to other fields. Dan Cupid had been doing some accurate shooting in the direction of the fac- ulty, for Miss Early had at last been overcome, and was now Mrs. Early Rhame. Miss Bessinger had been pierced by an arrow from over Harts- ville way and deserted work in the middle of the year. And then came themes, not yearly, quarterly, nor monthly but tye godsll weekly! How I pitied the poor creatures. Evidently the teachers liked their wild imagina- tions. But other matters soon came to the front, and they began to run everybody crazy, including them- selves, trying to sell tickets to help finance the Junior-Senior banquet. Despite the depression, they were so successful that they were able to en- gage the Central Hotel dining room for an elegant banquet. During this time the student body voted to install a Student Cooperative Association, in which the Juniors took an active part. Their president was elected Secretary and Treasurer for the Council, and the class was allowed four represent- atives in the house. They were lusty youngsters, many of the football squad. and practically all the lower state champions in basketball being Juniors. But they had brain as well as brawn, for when the marshals were appointed it was found that the gen- cral average in scholarship was high- er than it had been for many years. A Junior girl won a place in the State English contest. Altogether the class had done well. FATHER TIME: Well spoken. my son. Now look ye o'er the bank and call your living brother. 1933. I1932 signals over the edge of the cloud and returns to Father Time.l 1932: He is coming! IA plane zooms into sight, and from it drops a white object, floating gently down to the cloud. 1933 unstraps himself and rushes forward.l 1933: Hello, Pop! Old Timer! How are you? FATHER TIME twith dignityl: My son, have you no respect for my gray hairs! I wish to know concerning the Senior Class of the Florence High School. 1933: Excuse me, Dad. I may be a little modern but I can't help it. I am alive, and want to make the most of it. I have just come from a modern world. Down there things are im- proving. There is a new president in the U. S. and everything is fine. The Depression is beginning to weaken. Just think of it, I am the year who kicks Prosperity around the corner. class? 1933: Oh, sure-the class. They are great, in more ways than one, too. They are the largest Senior Class that Florence High has ever had. They occupy four home-rooms. They elected FT. I. Martin for president and Mrs. Gee I l 1 J for sponsor. They have carried on the Student Cooperative System and have taken many athletic honors. The football, baseball, track, and basket- hall teams were composed mostly of Seniors. They have bought their class rings. The literary societies are divid- ed under separate leadership, and for the first time they are having society pins. They didn't make much money from the Senior Fair booth, but they made plenty at the Senior play, Ace High . You should see the two issues of the miniature Florentine , Why, they have even sent out their invita- tions and are ready to grab their sheepskins. Despite the fear of Amer- ican History and English VIII, they are a merry lot. So my class has come to graduation, and I, 1933, do hereby declare them to be the biggest, smart- est, peppiest class that has ever been graduated. FATHER TIME: My sous, you have done well, and I congratulate you. My eldest sons, go back to your sleep. tlixit 1930, '31, '32J 1933, I charge you to watch over and protect this Class, and see that they prove them- selves all that you have declared them. 1933: Have no fear, Dad. They can take care of themselves, but with my help they will be caught on the uptide of prosperity and thrown upon the gshores of success. l tHe straps on his parachute and is about to take off.l , Good by! Just keep an eye on my jclass and you will see---- l FATHER TIME: Good by-Good lluck-and God bless both you and those Seniors of the Florence High School. K. RILEY Historian '33 , -i.......... FLORENCE HIGH TAKES COUNTY HONORS In the annual county contests held April 28, Florence High School was represented in expression by Sara Reinhardt, who won second place with The Music Master. Edger Stan- ton's declamation, Vengeance is Mine, was awarded third place. In 'the spelling preliminaries on May 2, Jane Williamson, representing her school for the second time, won first place, which entitles her to a hand- some gold medal and the right to com- pete against the winners from other counties in the state contest to be held at VVinthrop College in July. pageant of flowers was being present- ed. The charming ladies representing the United States were: Natalie Lucas. Marye Lewis Landrum, Betty Harper, Helen Putnam, Nell Hyman, Mollie Johnson, Alice Worrell, Pansy Touch- berry, Mabel Wilhoit, Mae Ellen Har- per,'and Avis Williams. The judges Lpullmg for the United States were :Norma McLen1ore, Nellie McElveen, Maude McPherson, Helen O'Harra. Mattie Powell, Mary Grace Poynor, and Alvena Proctor. Fearing that the decision might pre- cipitate a riot, we left this gorgeous scene and entered the commercial de- partment where the world's champion typist, James Williams, explained to us the Hunt and Peck System. It is said of Mr. Williams that he has an unusually keen sense of touch. We continued to the sewing room, now the smartest fashion shop on Fifth Avenue, owned jointly by Mar- garet Fortner, Pauline Proctor, Ethel Russell and Mary Wells Gandy. A group of matrons I recognized as the former Misses Louise Evans, Kath- leen Galloway, Beth Erskine, Francis Garrison, Ruth Gilland. Eliza Ervin, Freddie Furchgott. Annie Pearl Grim- sley and Margaret Pattillo. Suddenly, before I could ask about myself, my guide seemed to fade, smil- ing and waving in unison to a whir- ring thud in my head. I awoke. It was still dark, and I found myself ,lying on the cool floor with plaster lbroken ard scattered about me.
