'I' H E F I. O lt E N 'I' I N E 13 JUNIORS PRESENT COMEDY On April 12. before a large and ap- preciative audience, the Junior Class presented a delightful comedy. entitled Here Comes Patricia. They had piomised the public a show full of hearty laughs and hit parts, and the response from the audience indicated that no one was disappointed. Sarah Lynch, in the role of Patri- cia, the feminine lead, displayed real talent in portraying a beautiful and daring young girl-quite at home in her over-alls, running a filling station, and equally so as the sophisticated daughter of the governor. Jane Chand- ler and Peggy Aiken-as Angelira and Minnie Knoop, respectively-kept the audience convulsed at their continual bickering over .Bud Flannigan tCecil Jeffordsl. Although Bud found it dif- ficult to propose to Angelina, because of Minnie's continual interference, he firally succeeded, much to everyone's delight. Every remark of Tom Wil- liamson's was greeted with shouts of laughter. As the small town loafer, Tim Hopper, he was incomparable. livervone agreed that Edwin Zeigler handled with marked success the rather difficult role of Elbert Hast- ings. Others in the east were .Iimmy Clark, a handsome young man in love with Patricia tBilly Bergcrlg Elsie Crowder, a sweet and pretty young girl tMary B.

AYELLOW JACKET NINE TROUNCES RIVALS Coach Rhame's call for baseball candidates was answered by many players who saw action last year on the first string, and many others en- tirely new in high school baseball. Kirby Jordan, LeGrande t Red I Schuyler, Asa Sturkie and Raymond Hyer were the only letter men to re- port this year. The American Legion Juniors of 1932 furnished E. D. Lane. Charles Gilbert, John Bailey, Paul Brendel and Joe Commander. Others who look good on the diamond are Clarence Farmer, Billy Moore, .Iolm- nie Holland, William Hickey, Ernest Bowie, Fred Paul Gramling, William Blackwell, Ben Rollins, Charles Me- Lendon. Henry Potter. and Hugo Cox. The first game-with Darlington, on Hicks' Field-was to the sweet tune ot' 9-4 in favor of Florence. From then on, the season was in full swing. the Jackets emerging winners from five consecutive contests. .These vic- tories included the ancient rivals from Lake City and Sumter. The batting average has been stead- ily rising, with three nome runs in five games, two by .lordan and one by Sturkie.

James Dabney STUDENT BODY HEARS INSPIRING SPEAKERS On Friday, April 21, at the regular assembly period, Dr. Frazer, President of Queens-Cbieora College, outlined to the students of the high school the course of action for The Man Who Would Be King. He recalled God's promise, There shall not fail thee a man on the throne of Israel, and the, universal demands of Kingship, Be thou strong, and show thyself a man. Having defined his ideal as one who obeys the law, he warned his audience that side-stepping the law invariably makes one less able to obey. Life is a game, he declared. and one must obey the rules. Dr. Frazer concluded his address with the startling declara- tion that not favoritism but prepara- tion gives one a chance. There is a prepared place for every prepared person. ' - , at is 1: 1 On April 21, Dr. McSween. President j of Presbyterian College at Clinton,' gave a most inspiring lecture. choos- ing for his topic How to be Success- ful. He was emphatic in his state- ment that everybody can be successful if he is willing to pay the price, the highway being so well-marked, that you cannot miss it. Ambition, clearly defined, is to be our chart, and we dare not fold over the map and thus obscure the objective. Dr. McSween urged upon his audience the strin- gency of the times as a challenge, de- claring that self-discipline is to be the best teacher of all. In his words, Make yourself do the things you don't want to do, and know you ought to do. Only the self-disciplined person can become a leader. He who would lead must first him- self be led, Who would be loved be capable of love beyond the utmost he re- ceivesg Who wield the rod of power must first have bowed his head. And being honored, honor what is above, This know the men who leave the world their names. The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping stone in the path- way of the strong.-Carlyle. VVhat men want is not talent, it is purpose: not the power to achieve, but the will to labor.-Bulwer Lytton. A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man, kites rise against and not with the wind. One can easily stop when he as- cends, but not when he descends- Napoleon I. f RILEY DRUG CO.

14 THE FLORENTINE MARY CORBIN CROWNED QUEEN OF THE MAY The crowning of the May Queen on Friday, May 5, was one of the most beautiful pageants ever presented in Florence. The festivities began with a selection by the high school band. Following came the Dance of the Wooden Soldiers, presented by mem- bers of the girls' gym class dressed in red, white, and blue uniforms. Immediately after this dance the approach of the queen and her attend- ants was heralded by Betty McCall and Elizabeth Rogers, who wore dainty purple and gold costumes. The :attendants were Ethel Russell. Sarah Lynch, Pauline Proctor, Dorothy Mc- Leod, Kitty Smith, and Betsy Spar- row, whose dresses were of sheer, frilly organdy in pastel tints. Her majesty, Mary Corbin, dressed in a white satin with a lace ruff and long, flowing train, attended by her bearers. adorable little Flora McLeod and Sarah Houck in fluffy white organdy. The queen proceeded around the walk to her regal white throne, erected on the steps amid a background of gar- lands of pink roses. T. I. Martin, in court costume, graciously placed the crown of pearls on the queen's head, just after which an invisible choir, composed of Peggy Aiken, Margaret Fortner, and Margaret R. Smith, sang I Love You Truly . Charles McLen- don presented the queen with an arm- ful of roses. The Balloon Dance, the Garland Dance, the Hoop Dance, and several Frolics were then presented for the queen's pleasure. A beautiful May-pole dance served as a fitting climax for the ceremonies. After these festivities the queen and her court graciously made their de- parture. I I I E FLORENCE ENTERTAINS SCOUT JAMBOREE The annual Jamboree for the Boy Scouts of the Pee Dee area was held Friday, May 5, with the Florence Scouts as hosts. At 10:45 all the troops lined up according to their numerical order and paraded through the busi- ness streets of the city. It was a gala affair with colors flying, and the pa- rade, which was over two blocks long, proved that the men of Florence and surrounding cities were truly trying to give of their best to the youth of the section. After the parade had re- turned to Hicks' Field, dinner was served by the Florence Council, as- sisted by Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Smithg Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Hardee: Chief Mc- Iver and Mrs. Frank Brand. At 2 o'clock the competitive events began, but soon gave way to Jupiter Pluvius who came down in full force and sent the 600 scouts scurrying to the gym, where the contests began. After the knot-tying and first aid events had been completed, Old Sol came out in all his glory and laughed Jupiter Pluvius to scorn. With hopes high the troops prepared for the re- maining events but again the rain poured, so the Jamboree had to be postponed. Active in Scout life are the follow- ing Seniors of Florence High School: Claude Smith C63-Senior Patrol Leader, Harvard Dudley t7l-Junior Assistant Scoutmasterg John Hussey C875 Edgar Stanton C81-Senior Patrol Leader, Joe Taylor C81-Assistant Scoutmasterg T.
