Class Poem Comes a feeling of depression When we hear the least suggestion That the days are rolling by us quite too fast. 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.
