THE FLORENTINE CLASSES MAKE FINE START Members of the Freshman class making excellent records in scholar- ship for the first semester were Julia Baker, Leon Mims and Billie Elliott. .lulia Baker and Leon Mims were elected to the Council from the Fresh- man class for the first semester of this year. Members of the house are Billy Elliott, Bertie Gregg and Buena Allen. ' The new Freshman class has fallen in line with all student activities, es- pecially pep meetings and games. 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. The class had done well in athletics, also. The Sophomores on the varsity hockey team were Annie Schuyler, Mary McLeod, Jane Salters, Hazel Hewitt and Annie Dell Caston, Those making the basket ball team were Annie Dell Caston, Margaret Poynor, and Hazel Hewitt. In the inter-class basket ball, the Sophs sent the score soaring against the Freshies. John Bailey has played an excellent game on the boys' varsity basket ball team, and Asa Sturkey held right guard in football. Members of the Junior class serving on the council during the first semes- ter were David McLeod, Ford Mclver, ard Allie Strickland. The members of the House of Representatives are as follows: Willis Harris, Thad Moore, Edwin Zeigler and Sara Reinhardt. The appearance of Dr. Red Wing, chief of the Royal Chippewa Tribe, in a delightful lecture and interpretation of his race, was sponsored by the .lunior class. 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. GLEE CLUBS ORGANIZE Prospects are bright for the glee clubs this year, with a large number reporting regularly to Miss Smith for rehearsals.

Smith, Lillian Rainwater, Mary Johnson, Mary Corbin, Edna Tedder, Fredye Furchgott, and Janis Stuart, second sopranos, Ethel Russell, Mary Heape, Carolyn Parker, Martha Dantz- ler, Elizabeth Anderson, Mae Mac Bridges, Juanita Mason and Juanita Epps: altos, Margaret Fortner, Sarah Lynch, Pauline Proctor, Eudora Lam- bert, Beatrice Furchgott, Vera Ford, Mildred McKcithan, Vivian Bass and Ruth Alexander.

THE FLOltliN'l'lNli Mary Seagle is manager, and Helen O'Hara captain. 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?

MISS DUSENBURY RETURNS AFTER LONG ABSENCE VVe are glad to have back with us our efficient librarian, Miss Corrie Dusenbury, who was injured last spring when the car in which she was riding overturned. During her ab- sence, Mrs. Rhame has proved to be a competent substitute. Pupils of Miss Amelia Dubose and of the whole school will be glad to know that she is improving, though she is yet unable to return to her work. She has been sick for several weeks. and lately has been a patient at McLeod Infirmary. Mr. Singleton is substituting for her during her absence. , COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION FINDS QUARTERS The room next door to Mr. Briggs' office, which will be 209, has been remodelled and furnished for the meeting place of the Council of the Students, Cooperative Association. A long table in the center provides seat- ing room for the members, and a desk has been installed for the use of the secretary. A chair near the desk is occupied by the member of the House who wishes to bring a bill before the Council. The two horses crossed the finish line nose and nose. But you said your horse won. t'He did. He stuck out his tongue. SONNET WRITTEN BY A LITTLE INDIAN GIRL I own 'twas so. She said I dreamed in class- VVho would not dream? 'Twas some chance word she saidg I have forgotton whatg the color red Perhaps, or just a prism through the glass. Enough to free my soul and let it pass From those four walls. Stripped of the dead Dull commonplace, singing through space it sped Above cold seas of azure and topaz, To lands whose ships lay gleaming in the sun . Laden to sail for ports of mystery: illast gardens fair, where Dido waits i for one VVho does not come, and Pan laughs secretly.
