The faculty during the year consisted of eight accomplished members. One of this number began tbe voyage across the sea of matrimony and in her place was called another loyal worker. We did not wait until our Senior year to experience the feeling of dignity, nor did we wait to experience the heavenly feeling of luxury that a senior class ring lends. We came back to dear old Hartsville High in the fall of 1924 full-fledged Seniors. Our band has now diminished to forty-three, being composed of thirty-six girls and seven boys. This year our class has more representatives in literary and athletic activities than ever before. The State High School Debate, in which our boys won, the Glee Club Contest, and Senior Class play, “Mr. Hob, are important events. Each member has taken his or her part in improving the Literary Societies, “The Orin F. Crow and “The James H. Thornwell, named for our ex-principal and present superintendent. Our whole school misses the presence of one of its most beloved former faculty members, Mr. Crow. We have this year a crop of nine, composed of the best teachers available. We are now at the end of the road which we have travelled together for four years. Soon we shall come to many roads, each leading in a different direction. Here we shall choose our wav and here will be placed a milestone which shall mark the beginning of a new period in the life of each one of us. Jkhoi.ink Stack. '25.
