We wish to thank the firms that have so loyally supported us, for they have been friends in need, and indeed. We 1'ecommend their advertisements to all, and our paper to as many as may be charitably inclined toward a di- minutive Florentine . Ill if if SCHOOL MANNERS Our mothers have taught us that a primary rule of etiquette is to ap- pear interested when others talk to us. but very often in chapel our actions would lead a visitor to believe that we have never heard such a rule. Probably the fact that the clock in the auditorium is behind us proves a disturbing element. In turning around tf- see if we are going to miss that dreaded next period, we distract others who may be interested in what the speaker is saying. Thus we re- mind others, only passively interested, that the clock is back there, and they immediately turn to see what the pros- pects are of their missing lessons. Our constant squirming annoys those about us-to say nothing of confusing the sneaker, for no one likes to be ignored. Why can we not be as considerate of others as we wish them to be of us? Again we are often inconsiderate in the school library, which is offered only to those who wish to read or study. The use of the library amounts to abuse often, by those who persist in talking. Another very common abuse is keeping borrowed books until they are overdue. Of course, we pay the fines, but it is not fair for us to nxonopolize books that others may wish to read. Our conduct in the halls and on the grounds is at times unbecoming in students of the Florence High School. Most of this is due, however, to thoughtlessness. VVe know that throw- ing paper in the halls at random or walking across the grass is not in com- pliance with the wishes of the school T H E F L O lt E N T l N E authorities. VVe commit these offenses only because we fail to consider how the premises would look if everyone did the same things we do. Let us ask ourselves, What kind of place would the Florence High School be if everyone acted just as I do? Let our actions answer, It would be an ideal place. if if 'll From The Oracle , A bi n g t o n fPennsylvaniaD High School, we re- print in part an editorial that is al- ways timely. The next worst thing to having no convictions at all is having hardened convictions. Sometimes the brain cells seem to set like concrete. To intro- duce a new thought requires a blast- ina operation. The happiest people in the world are those who cultivate the virtue of open- mindedness. Anyone who can pass the age of sixty and still have an open mind is a great man. An open mind is more to be admired and to be de- sired than great riches. That is not an exaggeration. How painful it must be to go through life, suffering mental agony, because changes are made that require the bending or breaking of fixed convictions. Every man is con- firmed of the absolute truth of cer- tain principles, but no sensible man supposes that he has a monopoly on truth. If there is such a thing as the foun- tain of youth, the source of this youth is an open mind. THE ELEPHANT REMEMBERS Lake Re-View , Lake View High School tChicagol makes the follow- ing observations: Feed an elephant trick peanuts as a boy, and he will recognize and re- member you as an old man with a long white beard, and, if he gets a chance, will squirt water all over you with his trunk. We resemble other animals in enough ways, without adding to the list by acting like an elephant and keeping a grudge for years. He who cannot find some excuse to make up with a friend after a little tiff is an unsociable person indeed. The quicker you get on good terms the better, because every day widens the breach between you. SHORT TURNS WITH A HIGH SCHOOL BOOK WORM Hamlin Garland, author of A Son of the Middle Borderj' has a new book of stories about the celebrated writers he has known. It is entitled My Friendly Contemporariesf' ln her mountain home near Ash- ville, Mrs. Sara Coleman Porter, wid- ow' of O. Henry, is writing a new novel called Unseen Cables. She carries on the O. Henry tradition with short stories, serials, and three novels to her credit. The English poet laureate, .lohn Masefield, has published two books this year, A Tale of Troy, and Re- cent Prose. Ann Vickers is the first book writ- ten by Sinclair Lewis since he won the Nobel Prize in 1930. Usually he writes of men, but in this book his theme is the life of a modern woman. DuBose Heyward, a native South Caroliman, has written a book about Charleston- Peter Ashley. ' Edna St. Vincent Millay, author of that enchanting little verse: My candle burns at both ends, It will not last the nightg But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends, It makes a lovely lightf' has given several radio programs this winter. Her interpretations of her poems are unique. Julia Peterkin, author of Scarlet Sister Mary,', which won for her the Pulitzer Prize, was a recent guest of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who enter- tained many prominent authors. Mrs. Peterkin is a native South Carolinian who devotes her talent to portraying the people of the low country. John Galsworthy, England's grand old man of letters, and winner of the Nobel Prize for this year, died recent- ly. He was unable to receive the award in person because of illness. Flowering Wilderness is his newest book. Isobel Wilder, sister of Thornton Wilder, has written her first book, Mother and Four, which treats of the lives of ordinary people. WITH THE ALUMNI James Cooper C303 is at N. C. State. Arthur McCall C321 made the fresh- man basket ball team at Furman. Laurier O'Ferrall, Leland Salters and Gus Ervin C311 are at Georgia Tech. Ernest Clifton C315 has been on the dean's honor roll since he entered the University of Virginia in 1931. VVayne Gregg and Lemon Wheeler V323 have opened The Yellow .lack- et, on Elm Street across from the High School building. They seem loath to leave The Alma Mater. Mary Brandt C271 is attending the St. Denis School of Dancing in New York. Mary Lee C281 is head of the Music Department at Boiling Springs Junior College. Virginia Zeigler t'30l is editor-in- chief of The Pee Dee Courierf' James and Hurshel Wheeling 4,327 are attending Park College in Kansas City. Among the alumni teaching in the city are Misses Leonora Briggs and Sarah Brunson, Mrs. James Gee and .lohn Harlee. - And now we hear of a speed maniac who painted one side of his car green and the other red. He liked to hear the witnesses contradicting one an- other.

THE FLOBENTINE lllllllIlllllllllllllllll II I il llllllll T H E Y E L L Q W J A C K E T llllllllllllllllllIllllllllllIllllllllllllllll REVELATION vii A-I age dynimg, and moreio-pitimism than The return game with Sumter on Dedicated to Scrub Teams llc had not made the team, he watched from the side lines, The last game of the year, a part of a sad patrol. Battered and bruised in his crouched, blanketed body, Sick and sore to his depths, and aloof in dole, llntil he.saw the enemy's swift ad- vancing Sweeping his team mates backward. Then from his soul ' VVas cleansed the sense of self and the sting of failure, And he was one of a pulsing, strain- ing whole, llracing to stem the tide of the on flung bodies, Helping to halt that steady, relent- less roll, Then he was part of a fighting, fren- zied unit Forcing them back and back from the goal. There on the side lines came the thought like a whip-crack As his team rallied and rose and took control. Ile had not made the team but, for four long seasons, Each of ten grinding weeks, he had given the flower, The essence and strength of body, brain and spirit, He and his kind-the second team- till the power To cope with opposition and to sur- 1 mount it U u Into the team was driven against this hour! What did it matter who held fast to the leather, He or another? What was a four- years dream? Out of his heart the shame and rancor lifted: There burst from his throat a hoarse, exultant scream. Not in the fight, but part of it, he was winning! This was his victoryg he had MADE the team! CHEER LEADERS PEP UP STUDENT BODY The cheer leaders for 1932-1933, elected at a mass meetirg of the stu- dent body, have proved enthusiastic and loyal supporters of the Jackets. Leader Billy Smith, elected by acclam- Pollyanna herself. For him the game is never lost until the team has left the field. The assistant cheer leaders are Fred Willis, Jane Chandler, and Charles Gilbert, who is serving a see- ond year in that capacity. The many new yells and songs submitted have popped up the cheering section. JACKETS MAKE BRILLIANT RECORD IN BASKETBALL In the face of a heavy schedule, the Yellow Jackets settled down to work early in the season for the opening game with Wilmington. The affray proved exciting throughout, for during the regular playing period. neither team could lead the other by more than three points, and when the whistle blew the score was 21 all. In the extra period. Wilmington ran up 9 points to beat the locals 30-23. Coach Bed Dobson, of Spartanburg, who saw the game, readily agreed to a two game series between the Jackets and the Spartans. In the cortest with Holly Hill, the locals won a decisive victory. On January 10, when Wilmington came here for a return game, the Jackets exacted vengeance for the de- feat handed them earlier in the sea- son, and defeated the Tarheels in a fast and furious game 20-25. In the face of the old Columbia iinx',, the Jackets set out on Friday thirteenth. over sleety, wet roads to meet the Capitals. After trailing Coach B. Rha1ne's boys through most of the game, the locals extended themselves to emerge on the happy end of a 49-36 score. The following Friday the Jackets journeyed to Sumter and, in spite of za small gym. managed to trounce the Gamecocks 45-15. This was balm in- deed to the members of the football team who were still nursing a grudge for the tie handed them during the past season. On January 24 the boys entertained St. John's quintet from Darlington to the tune of a 49-10 score, in spite of the entirely new and puzzling defense presented by the visitors. B. of L. E. STORE 1 January 29 only repeated the previous victory on a large scale. From this point the Jackets devoted themselves to classroom activities for mid-term exams, with an occasional work-out in the gym to insure a hearty welcome to the Capitals in the return game. This contest proved all that the record crowd could have wished for, both teams fighting desperately through four quarters for the lead. With a last minute rally the Jackets gained a four point margin which put them on the big end of a 30-26 score. Members of the varsity squad are T. I. Martin, captaing David McLeod, alternate captain, Sidney Smith, Bill Bryce, John Bailey, William,Hickey, Jack Smith, E. D. Lane, Scott Monroe and Le Grand Schuyler. JACQUETTES DOWN RIVALS The diminutive Jacquettes have met formidable opponents, and played close games the entire season. The best exhibitions were against Wil- mington in Wilmington, and against Memminger here, when the locals came from behind at the half to win, 36-32. The squad this year has been unus- ually large, the following being out regularly for practice: Virginia Irby, .lacqueline Sealle, Hazel Hewitt, Hen- rietta Barnwell, Irene Snow, Margaret Poynor, Kathleen Riley, Adella Holmes, Margaret Hoyt, Carrie Lee Corley, Annie Dell Caston, Boxie Bell Parker, Nell Jackson, Ruby Miller and Mary McLeod.
