T wenly-six I I lllll'l II LfTTfn T H E RETROSPEC Senior Class History e It was in September, eleven years ago, that a young ami eager group of us entered the first grade of the Hartsville Grammar School. Our minds were filled with excitement and joy. and we were ready to grasp anything concerning learning which might come our way. In this group were several who have been faithful and true to our old class, and are now in the Senior (Hass of Hartsville High School, ready to be graduated if fate does not decree otherwise. The girls in this first grade group were: Lena Blackman, Martha Carnes, Virginia Chapman, Mary I). Chambers, Charlotte Coker. Marguerite Gandy. Beatrice Heustess, Juanita Ingram. Percie Ingram. Mary Lee. Ethel Mae Renfrow. Margaret Phoebe Reynolds. Dorothy Tillotson, Laura Twitty. I he boys were: Bruce Bair. William Funderburk. Henry McKinnon, Finch Ridge, Lucas Sparrow, Lem Stephenson, James Steen, Heyward Smith, K. W. Stogner, Jr. As the years of Grammar School came and went, others joined our group. When we realized that we were getting into the more difficult field of study, we felt very important. Before we knew it we found ourselves in the seventh grade. (x)uld this be possible? es. and then we were regarding the pupils in the lower grades with an air of dignity, and maybe a little condescension. Don't you remember, class mates, the feeling of pride which we had when we walked across the stage in May, 1924. to receive our Grammar School Certificates? We felt, as all the other pupils do when they graduate from Grammar School, that we had accomplished the first big task in our young lives, for our chief ambition in the years preceeding had been to receive our certificates from the Hartsville Grammar School. Those who went along with us from the Grammar School to the High School were: Mar- guerite Benjamin, Myrtle Carpenter, Evelyn Graddick. Myrtle Ingram. Virginia Langston. Irene Sparrow. Maude West. Robin Askins. J. 1). Cook. Walton Luther, Leslie Graham. Baxter Ridge. Carson Steen, Bob Stewart, William Summer. Ralph Turner. The following September, we appeared in High School with countenances marked with fear and uncertainty. We soon became aware of the fact that we were not nearly so old and learned as we had thought, and that there was much work ahead of us. We. during this first year in high school, experienced many taunts and threats, from the more experienced and more learned upper classmen, which filled our hearts with fear. We didn't fancy at all the title of honor— “Rats which was conferred on us that first y’ear. As we had no contact with the outside activities of the school world, as it were, we entered upon our studies with ardent zeal. Two new members came to us this year; Frank Ellis and Sadie Howie. No large task was accomplished by our group aside from class work that first year, for we were too busy becoming used to our new surroundings. We were largely occupied with the more difficult studies of Latin. Algebra. Science and the like, which seemed extremely hard and strange to us at first, and which demanded of us hard study in order that we might grasp their difficult problem. Nine months, filled with many hardships and fears, brought us to our Sophomore year. Feeling much more at ease, we entered, with more confidence, into the life of the school. We had by this time become adjusted to Hartsville High School life. This year we welcomed to our class these girls: Frances Flowers, Ruth Stewart, and Lois Young. The class was proud of Henry McKinnon, who won first place in the high school declamation contest. Several of our members began to take part on the various athletic teams, in the Glee Club, Orchestra, and other oragnizations of the school. In spite of the fact that we were rapidly gaining the reputation of being the noisiest class in high school, which reputation we were to keep for the remainder of our high school career, we were proud of our class for its varied achievements, and for the splendid way in which we had learned to work together. It was in the third year that we really made our presence fe!t. Quite a number of the members of our class were now old enough and capable enough to share in the various activities of the school, including athletics, in which some were bold and spry enough to take part. This, our Junior year, was filled with opportunities for the various members of our class. A great many of these opportunities were grasped, and successful goals were attained, by the class as a whole and by individuals who were to make for themselves a record worth while. The following students entered our group this year: Ella Mae Flowers. Zuline Flowers, Mildred Folsom. Ruth Folsom. Helen Howie. Doris King. Esther Lee Moore, and Ruth Poison. The class was fortunate this year Twenty-seven in having one other among its new members, Woodrow Lewis, who has, without doubt, made his presence felt in the record he has made for himself. During this, his first year in Hartsville High School, he won the distinction of being the best negative debater in the state. The short story medal, which is awarded each year to a pupil from our High School who writes the best short story, was won by a member of the Junior Class, Mary Lee. Literary ability was also discovered in Maude West, who won the prize awarded by the Professional Women’s Club for the best essay written on a stated topic. We are most proud of the members of our class who acquired success on the various athletic teams and in the musical activities. Last, but not least, among the events and happenings of our Junior year, and wa might say, one of the most worthy, was the organization of a chapter of the National Honor Society in our high school. The honor of the organization of the chapter is due to Miss Helen Baker, one of our beloved teachers. The members of our class who were taken into the society this year as charter members were Margaret Phoebe Reynolds, Marguerite Gandy, Charlotte Coker, and Woodrow Lewis. Last September we entered our Senior year with the largest membership ever possessed by a senior class of Hartsville High School. It was hard to realize that we had been at old H.H.S. for three years, but yes, we were now seniors, and it was our duty to live up to that name of “Senior.” This year, for us. has held even more than our Junior year, and yet we know that it has been one of joy mingled with sorrow -joyful because we had attained our Senior year, and sad because we must soon break the ties of love and friendship which have, for the last four years especially, bound us together. Our Senior class officers were elected as follows: President, Woodrow Lewis; Vice-President, Lucas Sparrow; Secretary, (.’arson Steen; Treasurer. Martha Carnes. Fannye Stokes was added to our class roll this year. The new members taken into the Honor Society were: Martha Carnes. Ruth Stewart. Mary Lee. Myrtle Carpenter, Lem Stephenson. Lucas Sparrow, and Finch Ridge. Vie give much credit to our affirmative debating team, which won third place in the state, out ol forty contesting teams. On this team were two members of our class: Martha Carnes and Woodrow Lewis. The IJ. D. C. medal, awarded this year for the best paper written on Wade Hampton by a high school senior, was won by Margaret Phoebe Reynolds. I he prize in the tobacco essay contest was won by one of our seniors. Maude West. In spite of the many, many times Mr. Hungerpiller has scolded us in Fnglish class, for being one of the worst classes in spelling he has ever taught, we are proud of the fact that we have one member, and maybe two or three others, who are excellent along this line. This pupil is Sadie Howie, who has won. for the past three years, first place in the County High School Spelling Contest. Our class had the privilege this year of contributing to the Lower State Championship Basketball Team the manager. Margaret Phoebe Reynolds; three players. Marguerite Benjamin, Mary D. Chambers, and Fannye Stokes; and three subs. Mildred Folsom, Frances Flowers, and Juanita Ingram. Our boys also accomplished much in athletics. We had quite a number from our class in the Glee Club which won second place in the Coker College contest. Of course, fellow classmates, it would be impossible for me to remind you of all the activities of this, our Senior Year, but these 1 think are the most outstanding. While we are not satisfied with our achievements, the class as a whole, has stood for a high standard of honor. The record of the class has not been attributed to the attainments of two or three members, but to the steady work of the unit. We shall soon part, probably never to meet again as a group, but true friendship can never be wholly obliterated and, therefore, we are sure that we shall not forget those with whom we have been so intimately associated. I must stop now for 1 have told you, as best I could, the history of the class of 1928. We shall leave the responsibility of the next chapter in the annals of Hartsville High School to the rising senior class of 1929. Charlotte Coker, Historian. Twenty Senior Class Poem P 4 To Mr. J. . Thorn well and the Faculty. As we come to the close of our High School career And think of each session apart. We know that the thought of our Senior Year Is marked with real sadness of heart. We’ve worked close together four long happy years. And now as we come to the end. We think of the parting with eyes full of tears. And this message to you we would send. Our purpose shall he as through life we go To gallantly ’‘follow the gleam.” To hold to the truths which we all know, And not value things as they seem. To you who have taught us, our friends tried and true. We pledge faith to your high ideal. You’ve given us courage to dare and to do As Life’s Mystery you’ve sought to reveal. Myrtle Carpenter, Poet, ’28. Twenty-nine e $ I am a prophet and the son of a prophet, and lo. in a dream. I behold these children going up out of captivity in the year nineteen hundred and twentv-eight. Those who have been held in oppression under the heavy hand of James, of tin House of Thomwell, who is a mighty king in the land of Hartsville; and of his counsellors. John of the House of HungerpiUer. whose fame has gone abroad through all the land because of his deeds of valor; and of the scribe, John, of the House of Scoggins, whose words of wisdom are many; and also they have been buffeted about by the fair and beautiful princesses whom the king employeth to say, “Thou shall and thou shah not. Behold these children do lift up their voices against all of these oppressions, and they lift up their voices and say unto the king, “Oh, King, have merev upon us, thy miserable children, and let us go forth out of this place of oppression into a land of joy which lieth outside the citv.” And Janies, of the House of Thorn well, looks in pity upon them and says, “Oh. my children, your transgressions have beerf many and your iniquities great, and the land into which you go is full of evils, but be it unto you even as you have desired. My children, go in peace.” And lo. it shall come to pass that they shall go forth and their sojourn shall be long and the years thereof shall be many. And liehold. Walton of the House of Luther, shall be a mighty healer in all the land; he shall look upon tin afflictions of many, and they shall become whole, and happiness shall be his all his life. And lo. Bruce of the House of Bair, shall follow the plow; he shall rise up a great while before it is day to till his fields that they may bring forth an hundred fold; and he shall accumulate much wealth he, with his good wife Ruby, shall possess. And I look again, ami I see one Ruth, of the House of Stewart, who shall journey afar to teach history in the temple of learning in the land of Kellytown. For it was she who learned from Princesses Simons and Baker the length of the Hundred Years War. And lo, I see in my dream Myrtle, of the House of Carpenter, who shall be great in the writing of poetry, and her fame shall spread throughout all the land, for in the days of oppression in the land of Hartsville. her lines did surpass all the rest. And one Sadie of the House of Houle, and Ktlie! Mae, of the House of Kenfrow. because they have had great experince in (lusting their noses while they did study in the temple of learning in the land of Hartsville, shall open a beauty parlor, and their fame shall spread to the end? of the earth. And again I look, and behold, one sits in the seats of the Latin teachers and lo, it is Lemuel of the House of Stephenson, who has succeeded Robert of the House of Du rett. at the College of Coker, in the land of Hartsville. He shall teach his students always to speak the I atin tongue, and he shall journey with his students to the C arrollum Forum in the great temple of learning, and there they shall draw fresh inspiration and renew their love for the Roman tongue. Before this group at the setting of the sun, there shall dance the classic dancers. Mary I), of tint House of Chambers and Beatrice of the House of Heustess, who did make merry of yore in the land of Hartsville. And behold. I see the capitol city of the state; the capitol building majestic in all its splendor, the House of Representatives assembled, ready for the days work; and behold. I see in the place allotted to the County of Darlington, one Woodrow of the House of Lewis and one Vartlia of the House of Carnes. Have they not journeyed to Columbia by way of Dr. Kgleston's road through Lynches River? And was not the purpose of their journey to so amend the South Carolina text book law as to provide for the selection of texts by the unit of Supervision from a general list approved by the State Board and furnished free to all children? And one I aura of the House of Twitty shall study to be a Home Demonstration agent, but ere the years be many, she shall demonstrate in her own home in the House of Raines, in the land of Hartsville. Again I see a large city, and in this citv Helen of the House of Howie, and Mildred of the House of Folsom, and Ruth of the House of Folsom, have erected a large hall of pleasure. And it shall come to pass that in this building. Robert of the House of Stewart, and Ralph of the House of Turner, shall every evening entertain the multitudes who shall press forward eagerly to witness their performances. And it shall also come to pass that the fame of these two comedians shall so spread throughout the land that the two Black Crows will be forced to wing a solitary flight, and will never be heard of again. And behold, V irginia of the House of I angston. and Virginia of the House of Chapman, shall journey northward to teach math; but alas, when they shall attempt to explain geometry, they shall be found wanting! For have not the fair maidens slept away their days of grace in the math class in the temple of learning, in the land of Hartsville. and neither have their answer books arrived which they ordered from Sears Roebuck! And again I sec in my vision an automobile driven rapidlv towards me. As it comes to a stop, behold. I see Marguerite of the House of Gandy, and R. VV. of the House of Stogner, chief Thirty stockholders of the Gandy-Stogner Co., Inc. Have they not in many ways demonstrated their clever business ability? Verily it has come to pass that they have amassed a great fortune, so much in fact, that they have been able to puchase “Eloise” from the Princess Gunter, which is the self-same car in which they have just approached. And again T look and before me I see Finch of the House of Ridge, and he shall be a preacher and shall preach in all the synagogues of the land and all the cities shall gather to hear him for his fame shall be spread to all the ends of the earth for he did learn his wisdom as he listened to the sermons of the mighty John, of the House of Hungerpiller. in the temple of lean -ing in the land of Hartsville. And again I see in my dream a beautiful home. Did not Mary, of the House of Lee, plan the beautiful gardens about the house, and did not Lucas, of the House of Sparrow, huild the house, and Maude, of the House of West, beautifully decorate the interior for the Honorable Henry, of the House of McKinnon and his fair bride? Does not the land of Hartsville claim the Honorable Henry as one of its famous sons because he is one of the most eminent jurists of the South Carolina bar? I look again and behold. I see a crowded street of the greatest city in the world. Behold, 42nd and Broadway, I see the commanding figure of Marguerite, of the House of Benjamin, chief traffic officer of that crowded corner! Lo, she is guiding skillfully and safely across the street the timid form of Lois, of the House of Young, who with her photographers outfit, is trying to make her way to the florist shop on the corner. For does she not want to photograph the beauty of the shop and all its flowers? She does realize that even the owners of the shop are Ella Mae. Frances and Zuline. all of the House of Flowers. And in my dream I can see I eslie of the House of Graham, and .1. I), of tin House of Cook, surpassing the achievements of Bahe of the House of Ruth, and Red of the House of Grange. And the vision of the temple of learning in the land of Hartsville comes to my mind. I can see He) ward, of the House of Smith, who has gone far from the land of Hartsville, and who has learned after many years of patient study, how to repair an electric clock. Has he not returned to use his skill upon this prized possession of the temple of learning and will not the bright e ed children within those classic walls, hail with joy the forty-five minute period which is not an hour long? And Carson of the House of Steen has been made head of the Smithsonian Institute, in the 'and of Washington. He did prove his ability as a mighty collector in the days of yore, and his collections were so great, even in the land of Hartsville, that he had to employ Robin, of the House of Askins, expert accountant, to keep accurate records of them. And Fannye of the House of Stokes has accomplished wonderful deeds in the realm of athletics. From this field she did make a flying lean into matrimony, and has lived happily ever since. And again I look. Behold, before me I see Margaret Phoebe, of the House of Reynolds, as she goes throughout the land playing beautiful music in all concert halls. Her music shall be so beautiful that it will be broadcasted so as to be heard by the sick in the hospitals. Yea verily, even in the land of Florence, whose hospitals hold many of the oppressed children from the land of Hartsville, her music shall be heard. In these same hospitals I see before me, the white clad figures of Myrtle, of the House of Ingram. Esther Lee of tin House of Moore. Lena of the House of Blackmon. Doris of the House of King Ruth of the House of Folsom, and Irene of the House of Sparrow, who go about healing the sick. And W illiam, of the House of Sumner, very much versed in the art of love, due to his many experiences of the heart in his high school days, is general manage- of the largest matrimonial bureau in the land and to him I see given the rare privilege of comforting those who need comfort. and helping those who seek, yea. even unto helping John of the House of Scoggins and Zula of the House of Bonnette. And then shall go Evelyn of the House of Graddick and Charlotte of the House of Coker and Percie of the House of Ingram, into a foreign land. And they shall minister unto the heathen insomuch that many shall be converted. But Percie, of the House of Ingram, because she has had much experience in mourning over her grades while she was studying in the temple of learning, in the land of Hartsville, shall become greatly desired in tin East as a mourner at funerals and shall accumulate much wealth at that occupation. And behold, in my dreams 1 see Dorothy, of the House of Tillotson, and Juanita of the House of Ingram, kneeling by the altar praying earnestly for husbands; ami these prayers shall be answered through the services of William of the House of Sumner, who shall provide husbands for them, and these husbands shall hold them in the bonds of matrimony till death do them part. And I look again, and behold, one youth called Bill, is a wanderer on the face of the earth ami neither doth he find any rest for the sole of his foot, for his companions shall do unto him even as he did unto them. And lo. on the day following the Day of Graduation, they shall drive him forth from the land of Hartsville and permit him to return no more again. And here endeth the chronicles of the tribe of twenty-eight. And the great and powerful king of the tribe of Thornwell. shall ponder on the deeds of his children and pronounce them very good.

ZuLA Bo N NETT E Sloan Hungerpiller Lucas L. Sparrow, Class Lawyer, ’28. Billy Crawford Thirty-jour Class Valedictory s £ Dear Friends, Teachers and Classmates: Our sojourn at the fountain of learning at our dear old llartsville High School must now cease! It is exceedingly hard to hid adieu to those whom we have learned to love so dearly during the past four years. The years spent with you have been years of preparation for our real life. They have been years of development, not only for our minds, but for our characters as well, and it is that which makes us real men and women. We. who stand tonight at the meeting between a happy past and an unknown future, have reached not the end. but the Commencement of our lives. And what those lives are to be depends in a large measure upon the foundations we have been building for them in our High School year's. For four years we have been studying the philosophy of true living. What we have gained can never be taken from us. We have a knowledge that shall make all life sweeter and deeper. These years have been happy ones, and because of it there is a tinge of sadness in our hearts tonight. It is hard to leave our dear school, but in the truest sense we are not leaving it. Its spirit goes with us wherever our path may lie. We're “Standing with reluctant feet Where the brook and river meet. Ready to step from school into the busy world or into institutions of higher learning, we hesitate. Wo might hold to the past, were it possible, but life's ceaseless round of changes has carried us to the place where the brook of school life meets the river of an enlarged human experience, whose current is moving steadily and surely into the great future. At this place we must say farewell to the happy days spent amidst these pleasant surroundings; we must leave the halls of learning which have sheltered us in the years that are past; we must bid farewell to the familiar places so full of memories. We must say adieu to the friends we have met and learned to love, to the teachers who have carefully guided us through the years, to those who have been ever kind and patient and true; and. hardest of all. we must say farewell to classmates with whom we have been so happily associated. At such a time as this, words are but vague expressions of the inner thoughts. Words cannot describe the emotions which arise, the tender feelings of regard for the school, the teachers, and friends, the regret with which we say our last farewell. What the future has in store for us, we cannot tell. We only know that we have enjoyed an opportunity in our high school education, upon which we hope to build structures worthy of those who have made our opportunities possible. No matter where we go or what we undertake, we shall always turn to you, our friends, with a feeling of tenderness and gratitude. The world is calling for men and women—men and women of character, of attainments, and with a spirit to do and to be. Some of us are ready to answer the call, to join the forces of those who have been carrying the responsibilities of the workaday world; others will continue Thirty-five their studies at colleges and universities. The record of our past four years is one that we are pToud to show'. We have tried to build success upon our failures, and we shall continue to do so. Someone has said: “Four things there are a man should do If he would keep his record true— To think without confusion clearly, To love his fellow-man sincerely, To act from honest motives purely, And trust in God and Heaven securely.” And, now to our Superintendent and Board of Trustees, we tender our sincere thanks for providing us with the necessary equipment. Our building, abundance of apparatus, the most capable teachers to be found anywhere, have not only made our high school education possible, but have made it a pleasure at the same time. You have never failed to rule for our good, and now we feel to you we owe heartfelt thanks. To the citizens of Hartsville, we acknowledge a debt of gratitude for your interest in us. Without you and your generosity in granting the many demands upon you to support our educational home, there could hardly be a graduation class. We thank you for never failing us. To our Teachers, one and all: We thank you for pointing out the heights so far above and beyond us. It has often been difficult to keep our aim fixed upon them unwaveringly, but through you we have learned that they are there, and we are determined to reach them at last. Classmates, we stand together for the last time before each takes his separate way. However, we shall not be separated in spirit. In memory we shall always be one loyal class. Each one here will go out to take up a life of service, but though each has his own journey to go and a particular byway to travel, the same earth will be under our feet and the same sky over our heads. Our friends, wo bid you a loving good-bye; teachers, a fond farewell; and classmates, let us say, “We hope to meet again.” Margaret Phoebe Reynolds, Valedictorian, ’28.

There were quite a number of pupils in the Orchestra and Glee Club, and several good athletes. We began our Sophomore year with the feeling that we were now really in high school after the terrors and strife of our Freshman year. On a moonlit night in May, we gave the Seniors a lovely lawn party at the home of Koberta McKinnon, thereby establishing a custom by which we hope to be remembered. Our Junior year was begun with an increased attendance because of the many busses bringing students from out of town. Willie Grant, Myrtle Atkinson, Frances deLorme, Mary Leslie Townsend, Lila Gainey, Molcy Griggs, and Georgia Moore, were the new pupils we welcomed to our class. Of the boys, Hill Shelley, Bosie Egleston, Pete Folsom, Anderson McElveen, and Carl McNair, played in nearly every football game, and Margaret Goodson and Mildred Ingram were our stars in basketball. Five girls and two boys from our class went to the State Teachers’ association in Greenville and sang in the State Chorus. We feel that all through high school we have made a very creditable showing, and we hope to always keep up this standard during our remaining years in Hartsville High School.

Watts, Harry Forty-one Sophomore Class History s s On the sixth day of September, 1926, our class, a large number of green but happy Freshmen, entered the high school. Realizing that we were new and dumb, the teachers were very kind and helpful to us in making out schedules, finding rooms, etc. Our enrollment at the beginning of the year was eighty-one, but losing nine, we finished the year with seventy-two enrolled. One of the most thrilling things to us the first year was exemption from last exams if we made the required average. Although we were young, we had representatives in almost all of the school activities. One member made the girls’ basketball squad; one member played in the high school orchestra; two were in the Glee Club; one in preliminary expression contest; and we had representatives on the Megaphone staff and Student Council. Many of the boys were very much interested in football, basketball, and baseball and seemed very promising for future teams. Upon our return, September 12, 1927, we felt as if we knew a good bit more as we were “know-it-all Sophs.” Now we had ninety-four enrolled, fifteen dropped out (one on account of marriage!) and we finished the year with seventy-nine. This year we became even more interested in school activities. We had four representatives in the orchestra, four in Glee Club, one member entering in preliminary for state expression contest, representatives for the Megaphone staff. Honorary members for Carrollum Forum, and Latin Classical Club. We also had our place in athletics—two members on girls’ basketball squad, and a member on the boys’ football , baseball and basketball squads. In conclusion we wish to thank all members of the faculty for their careful advice, constant help, and the many other things they have done for us—we also thank the upper classmen (and the “rats”) for their friendliness toward us. Thus is our past. Before us lies the future, bright with hopes and ambitions and determination in our hearts to make Hartsville High School proud of us. Annie Lou Secars, Class Historian.

Leslie Forty-four Freshman Class History � s When we, the Freshman Class of 1927-192.8, entered the doors of Hartsville High School, we felt so important that none of the usual banterings from the upper classmen daunted us for a single moment. Our days of preparation in the Grammar School had been true and honest, ar.d had not our rights of entrance to High School been made doubly deserving by our ability to pass the examinations of the County Board of Education—a task never before required of a high school applicant? With this achievement, our original class of thirty-three, graciously joined forces with others from near-by schools, who had a kindred purpose and as proud a heritage as ours. Together we march as we strive to keep the banner of Hartsville High ever afloat where it shall be for all time, and to all, a beacon, “Come Learn of Me.” Aurelia Byrd.

Four years later, in 1928, the proud followers of the conquerors of 1924, also journeyed to Columbia once again to fight Orangeburg for the same laurels. Again Hartsville won thus becoming the holder of Lower-State Championship for the second time. In the early fall the “bright prospects” for a winning team straggled upon the field to start practice. To test their courage a game with Bishopville was scheduled, and with a great degree of fear, played. This marked Hartsville’s first victory. Inspired with courage, the fighting squad attempted McBee, and was again successful. One by one, Dovesville, Lamar, and Darlington were eliminated until the “On to Florence” cry was heard to wage battle for District Championship. The fighting Johnsonvillians were downed—Hartsville being the winner. Hemingway proved a hard and well-trained foe, only to be overcome by the outstanding piay of the Hartsville girls. Winning in the Seventh District, the first game of the season was returned, not for practice, but to battle for championship with Bishopville, playing for the Fifth District. The thirteenth straight victory for Hartsville was won. Cheraw, the long dreaded, fell. It was a hard-fought game, but a well-earned victory, which led to the game with Orangeburg and then -Lower-State Championship! Four years ago, 1924, Hartsville High School Girls Basketball Team journeyed to Columbia to combat for State Championship. Four years later, 1928, in Columbia, Hartsville played Simpsonville a losing game for Stale Championship- the sixteenth game, and Hartsville’s first defeat. The hopes of a hitherto unconquered team were dashed, and an unusually successful season ended. Forty-eight Football s s PLAYERS Front Row—Left to Right: Harold Best, William Folsom, J. I). Cook.
