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.

Shopping Center of the Pee Dee J UNIORS FETE SENIORS In a setting of unusual beauty, the Junior-Senior banquet of this year proved to be one of the loveliest ever presented for the graduating class. The dining room of the Central Hotel was transformed for the occasion into a rose garden with a pink and white color scheme predominating. Dainty, old-fashioned nosegays and houta- nieres graced each cover, while in the center of every table was a mound of pink roses.

'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.

COLUMBIA JINX IS BROKEN The grip of the Columbia jinx seems to have been suddenly broken, and Florence can stretch her ancient rival on the mat. instead of always takingi the count herself. After two heart-refreshing victories over the Capitals during basketball season, the Jacket base-ball team, on Thursday, May 4, staged the only real walk-away over a Columbia Hi team at any time during current history in competition between the two schools. Gaining in the first two innings a lead that was never to be threatened, the Florence nine scored almost at will over the Capitals who failed dur- ing nine innings to hit their proper stride. The Jacket battery, Hyer-Hol- land, was never in any trouble. Hyer struck out thirteen men and allowed but three hits during the entire game. Those doing conspicuously good work for the locals were Blackwell on first, and Sturkie at short stop, whose double brought in three men. In Dick Taliaferro, the Capital third f fs Don't kid yourself that you will be the one in twenty to succeed. Be sure by insuring your future through The Minnesota Mutual Life Insurance Co. Edwin F.

The spectators in the bleachers near third base soon rec- ognized him as the sport he is, and soon showered him with good-natured and often times admiring remarks.
