The word Seniors” meant nothing to us except a much older, conceited group of young ladies and gentlemen. Of the present class there are members who began together in the first grade ami continued so through school. They are: Dorothy Miller, May Powell. Belva Segars, Katie Coker. Kathryn Barbie, Vivian Brand. Nina Kelley, Carter McKinnon, Kathleen Orr. Mary Reynolds. Lorice Saleeby, Nellie Saleeby. Eula Moore. Nell Wilkes, Lydia Warr, Ruth Kelley, Lillie Bell Newsome, Lillian Jordan, Inza Gandy, Harriet Morgan, Gladys Hungerpiller, Beatrice DeFee, Jack Me-Alpine, Harry Frampton, William King, M. L. Parrish. Charlie Tatum, L. E. Blackman, Carpenter King, Kent Segars and Ervin Mclnvaill. Some of our class attended school at the high school building for the first three grades. On one Friday night in our third year, we were awakened from our sleep by the shrill blow of the fire whistle, blowing to our surpise, the grammar school number. But this did not give us a holiday, for on Monday morning, we were installed in various places over town, until a new building could be erected. For seven years we lived a happy care-free life. The graduation exercises were held in the grammar school auditorium and oh! how proud we felt when we walked across the stage and received our diplomas. During these seven years, several additions were made to our class. They were: Sara Frances Watford. Maud Wilhelm, Virginia Watkins. Grace Smith. Nina Smith. Macy Dunlap, Corabelle Coleman and Bernerd Bright. We also lost two members; they were: Harriet Morgan, who left in the third grade and returned in the tenth grade, and Beatrice DeFee, who left in the seventh grade and returned in the eleventh grade. When school opened the next September, we were full-fledged high school members. We did not forget the fact even though the older members (especially Sophomores) did hurl such appellations as rats, greenies” and fresides at us. For the first week or two our heads were jumbles of schedules, units, and bells, and rules. What time is this period over? and “Where is Room 2? were heard on all sides. After getting straightened out we realized that we had the following new meml ers: Grace Helms, Louise McLean, Lou Ella Lunn, Grace Sparrow, Charlotte Segars, Josephine Smith. Helen Oates, Ida Mae Outlaw and Rex Parrott. Now our achievements really started. In the eighth grade we had members in the Glee Club and several good athletes. In the ninth grade our most interesting class activity was that of giving the Sophomore-Senior party. We also had several star athletes. 1931 and the tenth grade! We were now jolly Juniors and about the biggest thing looming upon our horizon was the Junior-Senior Banquet. Oh! how we did work for that affair—but oh! what fun we had. It was held in the high school gymnasium. During that year we had several members of the National Honor Society chosen from our group. Some new students were added to our roll during the ninth and tenth grades. They were: S. M. Blanton, Henry Malone, Nina Moore, Harriet Morgan, Sara Lou Kelley and J. G. David. And now the great climax of our high school career: in September we entered school as dignified Seniors. We had for our class officers: President. Kent Segars; Vice-President. Harry Frampton; Secretary. May Powell; Treasurer. Bernerd Bright. Glee Club, football and basketball practice soon started, in which the Senior Class was well represented. Soon Christmas came and everyone brought gifts to school for the Red Cross, which were piled beneath the beautiful Christmas tree. After a lovely holiday, we returned to school, but not long after we began mid-year exams but the less said about exams, the better. We felt especially proud on April 11th when our Glee Club won first place in the contest at Coker College. The Senior Class contributed several members to the victorious club. On April 21, we were thrilled to be entertained by the Juniors at a lovely banquet. It was a most enjoyable occasion and will be remembered by the Seniors. On May 5, a triumphant success was made by the Senior play, which paid the balance of the money due on the ‘depression issue of The Retrospect. By this time Class Day Officers had been elected. They were: Jack McAlpine, prophet; J. G. David, poet; Rex Parrott, lawyer; and Gladys Hungerpiller. historian. Two new members were added to our class: Beatrice DeFee and Edith Humphries. The exercises of Commencement Week are the finishing touches of the career of the Seniors of 1933. As we go from our Alma Mater, we look back on the happiest, busiest and most profitable four years of our entire school career. Gladys Hungerpiller, Historian. Page Seven Kknt Segars Harry H.

Page Thirteen Salutatory It is my pleasure and privilege tonight to bring a word of greeting to this great audience of relatives and friends of the Senior Class of the Harts-ville High School. This occasion marks the climax of all our efforts in our school life, and happy we are to have you share with us the joy of our graduation night. Our high school life began in the fall of 1929—that fateful year when the world was shocked into a realization that its financial situation was most critical. In spite of the uncertainty of the times, the many vexatious and perplexing money problems that developed, the wise guidance, sound judgment and careful planning of our trustees and superintendent have made this graduation night possible for us. It is with a feeling of satisfaction and appreciation that we have seen the Hartsville High School go steadily forward during the four stormy years now behind us. Strict economies which have necessarily been enforced have not interfered with the usual length of our school terms nor with the efficiency of our teaching force. We students have realized the seriousness of the situation and in consequence have applied oureslves to the business of making the most of opportunities which have been offered us. I believe we have become a more purposeful group because of the experience through which we have passed, and we are indeed grateful to you. the taxpayers of this community, for your loyal, unfaltering support of our school through this difficult period of its history. As we turn away from the sheltering, constructive influence of this great institution, we go, not only with a feeling of deep appreciation in our hearts, but with a determination to live as worthily as our training has prepared us to live. With this high resolve in mind we greet you tonight, you who have given us rare opportunities for growth through education. Be assured of our gratitude, our pledge of loyalty to the finer things of life, and our happiness because of your presence here. On behalf of the graduating class of 1933, I greet you. Dorothy Miller, Sulutatorian, ’33.

Then high school days are over But we’ve found our four-leaf clover In the pleasant memories of days long past. For in all the days now coming When our troubles keep us humming We’ll take refuge in mem’ries of when Our high school spirit flourished And our Alma Mater nourished And kept us free from sin. With the kind of start it gave us No evil hand can wave us From the straight and narrow road we longed to see. If we found a great temptation In some evil recreation She taught us then to turn our backs and flee. No honor is too great we know That we can possibly bestow Upon our dear old high school friends of yore. For the faculty in meeting Had a kindly word of greeting That seemed to open wide the social door. So this farewell to you we now tender If a service to you we can render There’s no chance that we can fail to see. For we know you're just as kind. Thus this farewell script is signed: THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1933. Page Sixteen J. G. David, Poet, ’33. Senior Class Will I, Rex Parrott, on behalf of the Senior Class of 1933, do hereby will and bequeath to the Junior Class. Sophomore Class, and Freshman Class, complete administrative control over the Hartsville High School, hoping that you will use this privilege, to the best of your ability. To our competent faculty, we leave a word of thanks for their untiring efforts and patience which were always exercised for our benefit during our entire High School careers. To Bratton Davis we hereby donate a pair of long trousers, hoping that he will learn how to wear them and so abandon his childish idea that knickers are the latest in men’s wearing apparel. To Dorrah Ferguson we leave a pair of rose-colored spectacles, hoping that when the appropriate time arrives he will not be caught unprepared. To Mary Parrish. Ruth Kelly graciously offers a few pounds of her weight, even though by so doing, she herself, may become underweight. To John Nichols, S. M. Blanton generously gives one foot of his height to make John look as old as he really is. To J. G. Wilhelm and James Walker Hill we give a copy of the booklet. “How to Dance,” and urge each to look to the matter of learning the art with much more seriousness than they have heretofore done. To Coker College we shall give some of the feminine element of our class, confident that these fair ones will be guided and trained in the typical, efficient Coker manner. To our Superintendent, Mr. J. H. Thorn well, we extend our heartiest good will and appreciation for his unceasing interest in each of us. To our thriving city, we offer ourselves and we shall lend our every effort to make Hartsville the sweetest “Sweetheart of the Pee Dee.” We hereby appoint John, the janitor, executor of this, our last will and testament, signed and sealed this twenty-ninth day of May. one thousand nine hundred and thirty-three.

In a certain sense they are words of farewell to classmates and school, but in another sense they arc not. This world is not so large and the dispersion of this class in it will not be so great that we shall nor meet again and often as active citizens in our varied walks of life. We are bidding farewell to the school as pupils, but we are not to desert it. Rather, through our efforts in the future we shall give it even more loyal support than we have in the past. The occasion also calls for expressions of gratitude on our part. Parents, teachers, trustees. and friends of the school, we arc wondering how we shall ever be able to express to you our appreciation for the wonderful opportunities that have been ours bcause of your personal sacrifices, your unselfish devotion to your work, and your abiding interest in our welfare. We realize that economic conditions have brought about a crisis in public education in South Carolina; we realize that the problems to be solved are grave indeed: but we also believe that if this crisis is to be successfully passed: if the problems so grave in their nature are to be satisfactorily solved, the common practice of making the schools the football of cheap politics will have to be abandoned and a program of enlightened statesmanship begun. The future worth of our citizenship and the future greatness of our state hang in the balance. Classmates, as I look back over our four years together. I see standing out in all their boldness, ruggedness, and true worth certain principles of good citizenship that have been impressed upon us from day to day. And yet. all the lessons that have been learned and all the truths that have been taught are to be valuable only in so far as we make use of those lessons and apply those truths in the broader contacts which we shall make in a busy and changing world. We say that this is a changing world, and events of the past few years serve but to lend emphasis to the fact. We seem on the verge of having to abandon our former worship of our so-called rugged American individualism. That individualism, which by the very nature of the case is selfish, has not only failed to solve the problems of this generation, but in large measure has brought our troubles upon us. For that selfish individualism we must substitute a group consciousness; we must place emphasis upon social values: we must stop our chasing after evanescent profits; we must, to a certain extent, be content to work for the glory of worthwhile achievements; we must bend our every effort in supporting the common good and raising the social and spiritual level for the communities in which we live. Honesty, truthfulness, fair-play, and holding sacred our obligations furnish a foundation on which we can build with everlastingly good results if we realize also that ours is the obligation to work. Ler us not go out with the idea that the world owes us anything, for it does not. We have no right to become economic drones or social parasites. We begin the productive period of our lives under a tremendous obligation to society, and the only way for us to discharge that obligation is to leave this world a better place in which to live than we found it. Our worth to the world is not to be measured by the extent of our lands, not by the value of our stocks and bonds; it is not to be gauged by the extent of our political success; it is not to be determined by the vociferousness with which we clamor for dubious rights. Rather, it is to be measured by the extent to which we relieve human misery and suffering: it is to be gauged by the esteem in which we are held by the best citizenship of our com munity; it is to be determined by the degree to which we perform our duties as men and women and discharge our obligations as members of a complex social order. Let us here highly resolve rhat in the years that lie ahead of us we will try to become noteworthy, not for the kind of living we make but for the manner in which we live.

Page Twenty-four Hartsville High School Athletics Another season of athletics has passed into history at the Hartsville High School, a successful season, too, from the viewpoint of the optimist. Of course. Mr. Pessimist might be inclined to regard the 1932-1933 season as one not conspicuously successful for the Sweethearts and Red Foxes. In basketball our team was put at a disadvantage because of changes that had to be made in the line-up on account of illness among the team members. Even so, the Sweethearts held their ground until the game with Loris for Lower State Championship. Considering the loss of several valuable players our football team made an excellent showing and deserve much credit for the record of 1932—four victories, four losses, two ties. Both football and basketball teams owe much credit for their success to Mr. W. P. Timmerman, head coach, and to Miss Sarah Pegues and Mr. W. P. Crawford, assistant coaches.

The object of this organization is to stimulate interest in scholarship, character building, and good citizenship. Membership in the organization comes through nominations made by students and teachers and passed upon by the Student Council and Faculty Advisory Committee. To be eligible for membership in the society a student must belong to the Freshman or Sophomore class; his scholarship must be satisfactory: his conduct good; he must have given evidence of leadership among his fellow students: he must have rendered some definite service to the school community. The following students have met the above requirements and have been elected to membership in the Junior Honor Society.

Every member of the student body belongs to the Student General Association, which is governed by a constitution drawn up and ratified by the members of the association. The constitution provides that the management of the affairs of the Student General Association shall be in the hands of the Board of Control. The Board of Control consists of the Student Council, an Honor Court, and the Faculty Advisory Committee. These three groups are assisted by committees which are in charge of such activities of the school as are entrusted to the students. I he general chairman of the Board of Control presides over the Student Council. The following students and faculty members served on the Board of Control during 1932-1933: STUDENT COUNCIL KENT Segars (Senior Class President), General Chairman Belva Segars Billy Byerly Flora Coker Floyd Chitty Dorothy Miller Charles Tatum Barbara Kalber Carpenter King May Powell HONOR Bernerd Bright Katie May Coker Henry Malone Lawrence Gibbes Jane Gilbert Victoria Allen Senior Class Junior Class Sophomore Class Freshman Class National Honor Society Boys’ Athletics Girls’ Athletics All Boys' League All Girls' League COURT Senior Class Senior Class Senior Class ........Junior Class Junior Class ..............Sophomore Class FACULTY ADVISORY COMMITTEE Mr. J.

Crawford Assistant Principal Miss Helen Baker Dean of Girls Page Twenty-eight All Girls’ League The All Girls’ League of the Hartsville High School was organized in October. 1931. with the following objects in view: to create a feeling of unity among the girls: to develop each girl as a whole girl ': to create a desire for higher ideals in scholarship and conduct in the individual girl and in the group as a whole: to promote a feeling of friendliness among the girls; to help each girl discover a vocation in which she may become interested and for which she may begin to prepare herself: to develop a sense of responsibility on the part of each girl in the care of the school building, grounds, and equipment: to practice school citizenship in such a way as to make the members of the All Girls' League worthy citizens of any community. The membership of the All Girls’ League is made up of all the girls in the high school and its government is vested in an Executive Council composed of the officers of the League, heads of departments, home room representatives, home room teachers, and the Dean of Girls. The following students served as officers of the All Girls' League during 1932-1933: Gladys Hungerpiller President Katie May Coker Vice-President Carter McKinnon Secretary Flora Coker ..............Treasurer All Boys’ League The All Boys' League is still in an embryonic stage. Its development will come with the passing of more time. The purpose of the organization is to give its members, all the boys in the high school, the opportunity of assuming responsibilities peculiar to the problems of boys in the school. Meetings restricted to the boys and the men of the faculty are held from time to time as there is need for them. The officers of the League conduct the meetings without active support from the faculty. It is hoped that as time passes and the boys are exercised more and more in the conduct of their business they will learn more and more to assume and discharge the duties of citizenship in the school, which should be a prototype of citizenship in actual world affairs in later life. Page Twenty-rune Carrollum Forum OFFICERS Katie Coker President Carter McKinnon Mary Reynolds May Powell Secretary T reasurer Vice-President One of the outstanding clubs at the Hartsville High School is the Carrollum Forum. It was organized for the purpose of creating interest and enthusiasm for the study of Latin, and to instill into the students of the school, as well as to the entire community, the real worth and value of this language. The personnel of this club are pupils of the third and fourth year classes, and a few of the second year pupils who make a required average. The club has several objectives. It promotes a Latin week each year, during which time the Roman Banquet is a predominating affair. The members of the Carrollum Forum, faculty of the high school, and other invited guests, assembled in true Roman style on May 26, 1932, for their annual banquet. Upon arrival, the guests were shown to their places by Roman slaves. Appearing on this interesting program were: Robert Goodson, George I immons and the President. Katie McKinnon. Between the courses, talks were made by Mr. R. W. Durrett of Coker College, and Mr. J. H. Thorn well, superintendent. Miss Mary Taylor of Coker College, gave an illustrated lecture on Roman Life.” and at the conclusion of the banquet boys of the ninth and tenth grades presented a play in Latin. “Ludus.” Mr. Hungerpiller, principal, was introduced, and he presented to Belle Glover Thornwell the Vergil Medal, which is given each year to the member of the Vergil class who makes the highest average. During the evening, music was furnished by Misses Mary Lee, Ellen Charles and Sara Burris. Then came a call for sandals, which is a signal for departure. For the past few years the club has sponsored a lecture at Coker College, given by Dr. R. V. D. Magoffin. President of the American Classical League, President of the Archeological Institute, and head of Classics at New York University. Invited guests have consisted of Latin students from Sumter. Florence. Darlington. Cheraw and Bennettsville. On the night of April 10. 1933. Dr. Magoffin gave an illustrated lecture on Recent Archeological Discoveries.” After the lecture, a reception was given by our club and the Classical Club of Coker College. These members look forward with much pleasure to Dr. Magoffin's visits each year and hope to have the honor of sponsoring many more affairs of this kind. This club was named in honor of our beloved Latin teacher. Miss Ruth Carroll. Mary Reynolds. Secretary. Page Thirty Girls' Glee Club Winners of the Denny Cup.
