A summary of the seasons is as follows: Jan 6 Florence 12 Mayesville Jan. 13 Florence 36 Memminger Jan. 20 Florence 37 Darlington Jan.21 Florence 35 VVilmington Jan. 26 Florence 24 Marion Jan. 28 Florence 21 Memminger Feb 3 Florence 8 Orangeburg Feb 8 Florence 36 Darlington GIRLS ORGANIZE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION This year there has been an attempt to widen the range of athletics in our school through the formation of the Girls' Athletic Association. As a re- sult of this organization. girls and boys will play under entirely different standards in competition for the ath- letic letter. The girls will get a golden shield with a purple block. upon win- ning 1,000 points under the adopted point system. The season started with hockey, but, due to the late school term. it was impossible to obtain an outside game. Nevertheless, the team had several -weeks of hard practice and developed a fine cooperative team. The basket ball season opened with a bang, when more than sixty girls appeared for the first practice. Later Coach Sasser picked her squad and settled down to regular practice. At an early meeting, Marv Seaglc was elected manager, and Helen O'Hara. captain. Manager Seagle has worked out a full schedule, including many of the leading teams in the vicinity: Charleston, Mayesville, Orangeburg, Darlington, Hartsville and Wilming- IGH. The Association will sponsor many spring sports-tennis, track, soccer, and archery. YELLOW JACKETS HAVE GOOD GRID SEASON Two weeks before the opening of school, forty candidates for the Yel- low Jacket football eleven reported to Coach Raymond Blackwell to start training for the coming season on the gridiron. With the old fighting spirit of Florence High instilled into the heart of every member of the squad, the good season anticipated by Coaches Rhame and Blackwell saw fulfillment, except for two backsets by much superior teams. Just before the first game played with Gaffney, the squad elected Fred VVard captain, J. L. Dabney alternate captain, and Clarence Farmer mana- ger. The squad invaded Gaffney, Colum- bia and Sumter. The Orangeburg game was played on the Pee Dee fair grounds, while in the other games Florence took the defensive on Hicks Field. The Yellow Jacket backfield men had the entire cooperation of the line- men in every attempt to advance the ball toward the goal. This combina- tion proved a match for any high school. Sturkie would easily have made all-state guard if there had been an all-state high school team. The team is composed of the fol- Asa Sturkie . . . . . Right guard Burrel Snyder . . . . Center t.l L. Dabney . . . . Left guard Billy Cutts . . . Left tackle Kirby Jordan ...... Left end David McLeod .... Quarter-hack Le Grand Schuyler . . . Half-back Ernest Bowie ...... Full-back Raymond Hyer ..... Half-back TRACK SEASON TO START SOON The track season at Florence High twill get underway as soon as the weather permits. Many new aspirants will be seen competing for positions ,on the team, among them Williams, tliollins, Snyder, Kendall, Strickland, Garrison, Hickey, Martin, Hyer, Moore, Ward, Gramling and Bryce. Among the last year men who will be available are Jack Smith, who placed first in the high jump in the state meet at Columbia, McLeod who placed first in the pole vault, Com- mander who placed fifth in the 440 run, and Powell who chalked up sev- enteen points in the Berkeley-Florence High meet. In 1931, the first year of track at Florence High, the Jackets placed sixth in the state meet among twenty- six high schools of South Carolina. Flip: VVho won the race to the fence, you or the bull?

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.

Due to the depression, the sale of chapel seats has not proved as profitable as heretofore. During the first report period, the Sophomore class made a fine record in scholarship. Those making A on major subjects were Masie Reid Pat- tillo, Sara Rogers, Elinor Tyler, Mar- garet Poynor, Jane Salters, Lillian Clarke, Elsie Gregg and Elizabeth Hoffmeyer. The following won the same distinction during the second period: Virginia Brown, Lillian Clarke, Margaret Poynor, .Iane Salters, Elizabeth Hoffmeyer, Kenneth Law- rence, Drake Watson, Henry Dargan, Elinor Tyler, Sarah Rogers, and Kath- leen Lazar, Elizabeth Hoffmeyer and Lillian Clarke made A on major sub- jects the whole report period.

EDISON MARSHALL VISITS FLORENCE HIGH Students of the Florence high school have had the treat of a lifetime in hearing this year the famous traveller and writer, Edison Marshall. Mr. Marshall believes in going to headquartersn for his subject matter. Consequently, he spends much of his time abroad in the remote corners of the earth. This fact makes him a most interesting speaker. His ad- dress to the students proved to be two entertaining stories of the jungles. These were most instructive to the student body, as he presented them in such a way that even the least imag- inative person could gain a vivid pic- ture of a journey through the jungles. As a speaker, Mr. Marshall is most attractive, being informal in his man- ner and at all times at ease. His keen sense of humor and his dramatic method of story-telling make him an incomparable speaker.
