Treasurer Sponsor The All Girls’ League was organized in the fall of 1931. Every girl in high school is automatically made a member upon entering high school. The purpose of this organization is to create friendliness among the girls: to give the girls an opportunity to organize and conduct their own meetings: and to aid each in choosing her vocation. It has been customary for the last several years' programs to include talks by accomplished professionals to aid the girl student in choosing her vocation. One of the projects of the All Girls' League is the operation of a Lost and Found Bureau. This year the League has been sponsoring the American National Junior Red Cross. In connection with this project, the All Girls' League agreed to send a complete wardrobe to an orphan at Epworth Orphanage in Columbia. S. C. Each homeroom provided a different article of clothing.

C., December 2 and 3. The National Junior Honor Society shared honors with the senior society in entertaining the delegates and sponsors from all over the state. After the guests had registered they were conducted to Coker College where they were served luncheon in the college dining room. At 3:00 P.M. in the high school library, Paul Harper, the state president, from Darlington, called the first general meeting to order. Devotional exercises were given by Miss Brunson, principal of St. John’s High School, Darlington. The visitors were welcomed by Dr. J. H. Thornwell. The sponsors and (Continued on page 3) RIGHTER FUTURE + + + OPEN HOUSE AT HARTSVILLE HIGH On Friday night, November 18, the high school was opened to the people of Hartsville for inspection of the remodeled building, and the new equipment which has been installed since last year. As they arrived, the visitors were greeted at the front entrance by the faculty and members of the Board of Trustees. Officers of student organizations escorted them about the building pointing out the new class rooms and explaining the curriculum of the school. From time to time during the evening words of greeting were brought over the sound system by Mrs. M. L. Reynolds, Dr. J. H. Thornwell, Mr. J. H. Martin, Mr. J. C. Hungerpillsr, Mr. R. P. Gillespie, and Mr. J. A. McIntyre. When the guests had finished their sight seeing they were shown to the school cafeteria were they were served coffee, fruit juice, and cookies by the Home Economics girls. “Spring Fever ” The Senior Class of the Hartsville High School presented a three-act farce, “Spring Fever” on April 14 at the Grammar School Auditorium. The plot centered around the activities at a small eastern college during commencement week. A group of students got into a number of scraps with a professor, the president of the college and a co-ed’s father. The cast included Robert Turn-age, Earle Scott, Neil McDonald, Geraldine Denny, Mildred Kelley, Betty Martin, Eleanor Segars, Boyd Lawhon, Virginia Stuckey, Louise Williams, Marvin Reynolds, and John D. Askins. The property manager was Ethel Young; stage manager, Charles Ingram, and director, Miss Irene Hunt. + + + OFFICIALS DEDICATE NEW FOOTBALL FIELD One of the outstanding improvements made during the past year is the new football field which has been constructed just south of the Hartsville High School. This field, which is lighted by fifty, five hundred watt bulbs, is considered one of the best lighted fields in the South. The field is sodded with Bermuda grass and is terraced, so that the rain water will run readily off the sides. Two new grandstands have been erected on the Hartsville side which will seat from seven to eight hundred people. Arrangements are being made to erect another grandstand which will raise the entire seating capacity to approximately twelve hundred. For the building of the new field four acres of ground were purchased. Around this ground and the practice field a seven foot fence has been erected. Hedges have been planted to prevent people from looking in on the games without paying admission. The new field was dedicated at a service held at the Porter-Hartsville game Friday night, (Continued on page 4) NEW EQUIPMENT ADDS TO SCHOOL LIFE The equipment and curriculum of Hartsville High School have been greatly improved by the addition of new materials and subjects. The new courses which have been added are Salesmanship and Shop-work. Economics and Sociology are now full year subjects. The new departments and equipment are as follows: the chemistry laboratory, the sound system, the cafeteria, the commercial department, and the manual training building. The chemistry laboratory is well-furnished with nine work tables, each having a spigot and sink; three cabinets for storing bottles, jars, etc.; two blackboards; and a large number of test tubes, beakers, acids, metals, and other chemical materials. One of the outstanding additions in the high school this year is the sound system which was installed when the building was remodeled. The sound system, with the microphone and the controls established in the principal’s office, may be connected to any or all the rooms. This has saved much of the heretofore wasted time of going from room to room making announcements. With the proper adjustments of controls, teachers may respond to the announcements, if necessary. Programs may be broadcast from the principal’s office and also the radio may be connected. The cafeteria is one of the most useful of our new additions. The home economics girls cook and serve the food during 4th and 5th periods and during recess. The cafeteria is located next to the home economics room and the menu for each day is posted on the blackboard at the back. There is a counter which takes up about a fourth of the room. There are eight new shining tables and a small but efficient kitchen adjoins the main room. Business is very good and most of the students come in for lunch some time in the day. The cafeteria was not opened at the first of the year, but that makes us appreciate it all the more now.

Business WE THANK THE RETROSPECT The students of Hartsville High were asked last fall to vote as to whether they would rather publish a newspaper or an annual for the year 1938-’39. Votes were cast in favor of The Retrospect, and bowing to the will of the majority, The News Reel stepped aside and gave way to the annual. The staff would have been unable to publish any sort of paper if it had not been for The Retrospect which so kindly offered this space. For this reason The News Reel will not be without some record for this year. We are indeed grateful to The Retrospect for its kindness in donating this space to us, and we sincerely hope that our contribution adds a great deal to the annual. + + + HOW SHALL WE LEAVE IT? Rows and rows of desks, each desk with a multitude of names scratched on its surface; walls and floors indelibly defaced; wads of chewing gum everywhere—under desks, railings, cafeteria tables. Such is the state of many school buildings. Thousands of pupils come and go from this school, many of them leaving nothing permanent behind them except a disfigured desk or other damaged property. Who is really interested in reading the scrawls of those preceding him? Who likes the sight or feeling of abandoned chewing gum? Who enjoys using the marred equipment showing traces of abuse? A new building has been entrusted to us by the city of Hartsville. Will our scribbled names be read by our successors? Will it be our discarded gum they will see? Will the marks of our abuse be apparent? Let us try to appreciate all that has been done for us, particularly in the past year; and to show our appreciation let us keep our building clean and fresh. We all love cheerfulness and gayety—so let us keep our surroundings that way. STUDENTS SELL QUOTA OF SEALS A grand total of $75.79 was reached by the students of the Hartsville High School this year in the annual Christmas Seal Campaign. Miss Lee’s homeroom of sophomore girls led the sales making $12.00, with 100' of the students participating. Mr. Crawford’s room of junior boys came second with $11.73; and Mr. Smith’s room of senior boys came third with $9.00. The students were somewhat handicapped by not being allowed to sell outside the homes and school. Nevertheless, all entered into the campaign with a fine Christmas spirit. + + + HARTSVILLE HIGH GETS NEW LIBRARY A great improvement made during 1937-38 was the enlargement of the library. It is located on the second floor in the west wing and is connected with the study hall. All the equipment is new and approximately five hundred new books have been bought this year. The library subscribes to thirty magazines, two daily papers, two weekly papers, and the Sunday edition of the New York Times. The papers are systematically kept on racks and the magazines are in individual drawers. They may be referred to at any time during the day, and magazines may be taken out over night. There are eighteen new hardwood tables which accommodate sixty-two people. The charging desk is the most valuable equipment. Here records of books are kept and books are checked in or out. A card catalogue is being typed and will soon be completed. Each book must have cards which are kept on file in the library. There is a bulletin board on which is displayed the covers of all new books. This year, and each year hence, freshmen will be instructed in the use of the library. Miss Rogers, the librarian, is aided in her work by the Student Library committee. The chairman is Christine Hart and her co-workers are: Christine Cannon, Betty Byerly, Addie Eth?l Norwood, Addie Morrison, and Emily Funderburk. Bobby Melton also served the first quarter. Each girl stays in the library one period every day. 1938-1939 THE NEWS REEL Page 3 NEW TEACHERS JOIN FACULTY A total of six additions and replacements have been made in the faculty this year. The new teachers include Miss Henrietta Miles, a graduate of Winthrop, bookkeeping and salesmanship; Mr. Bob McCown from Erskine College, science and assistant coach; Miss Genevieve Cox, a graduate of Coker, French and English; Miss Emily Brooker, of Columbia who replaced Miss Daisy Watson the second semester as Latin instructor; and Miss June Yarborough, formerly of the grammar school faculty, mathematics. + + + JUNIORS SPONSOR HILARIOUS WEDDING Delicatessen-Pedalabout Nuptials of Great Interest Friday night, March 10, in the auditorium of the Grammar School, Miss Rosebud Delicatessen and Mr. Alexander D. Pedalabout were united in matrimony by the Rev. Richard S. Cathcart. The wedding was sponsored by the Junior Class of the High School. The three rivals for the hand of Miss Rosebud, portrayed by George Davis Radford, were Archibald Redhead, alias “Red” Easterling, Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones, alias Floyd Denny, and Alexander D. Pedalabout, alias Sam Benson. Each of these rivals presented himself to the audience and proceeded to prove why he should be the winner of Miss Rosebud’s hand. “Red” Easterling sang “I Ups to Her,” Floyd Denny played “Why Don’t We Get Along?” on his trumpet, and Sam Benson gave a short address. After careful selection, Sam Benson was chosen the lucky suitor. Pre-nuptial music was rendered by Joe King, who sang “I Love You Truly,” and a duet was rendered by Buck Young and “Red” Melton. To the soft strains of Mendelssohn’s Wedding March, played by Miss Sarah White, the bridal party entered. The groomsmen were Messrs. Ross Terrell, Robert Bass, Tom Smith, Mac Smith, Eddie Lerner, and Thomas Gainey. Immediately following them came the brides-(Continued on page 4) NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY CONVENTION MEETS IN HARTSVILLE (Continued from page 1) delegates were introduced by Miss Parks, sponsor from St. John’s. Each chapter reported its activities of the year. The meeting was then turned over to Paul Weatherly, delegate from St. John’s, who led a discussion on “Developing Leadership Among National Honor Society Members.” After the appointment of committees, the meeting was adjourned until 6:00 o’clock, when supper was served in the Home Economics department. After the supper, the delegates and the Hartsville members gathered at the Prestwood Country Club where Miss Alice Griffin led in games, songs, and dancing. Saturday morning, December 3, after a meeting of sponsors a general meeting was held in the high school library. Mr. H. V. Church, National Secretary of the Honor Societies, was introduced and led a discussion on “The Methods of Choosing National Honor Society Members.” The discussion was followed by the reading of the 1937 minutes, the reading and discussion of the constitution, and then the selection of chapters to name the officers and the meeting place for the meeting in 1939. The fourth annual meeting will be held at Dreher High School, Columbia. The officers will be chosen as follows: President from Bennettsville, Vice-President from Hartsville, Secretary from Dreher. The chapters represented at the Hartsville meeting were as follows: Columbia High, Columbia; Dreher High, Columbia; University High, Columbia; St. John’s High, Darlington, Bennettsville, Cheraw, Walterboro and Hartsville. The Hartsville chapter of the National Honor Society was the first to be established in this state. The National Junior Honor Society, which grew out of a local organization sponsored by Miss Katherine Lee was the first junior organization in South Carolina. The Junior Society started the Green Counter which pays in part for the High School Handbook, published every two years. The Handbook has been given a very favorable write-up by Mr. Church, national secretary of the Honor Society. The Handbook has also been sent to schools in thirty-two states. MUSICAL NUTES The musical organizations of Hartsville High School are all directed by Mr. W. A. Smith for the first time this ysar. There are two bands, one for beginners and another for those who have already acquired some skill in playing a band instrument. The number of members in the band has almost doubled during 1938-39. We are all agreed that our band is one of which to be pround. It has made a very definite contribution to the pep of both players and spectators at the athletic events this year. The orchestra, which is composed of the most skilled musicians in the school, played this year at the Chamber of Commerce banquet. Mr. Smith states that the orchestra will also play at a concert of the Hartsville High School Music Club and at commencement. For the first time the glee clubs have a regular class period in which to practice. The clubs have worked hard and made rapid progress. The Boys’ Glee Club has sung at Parent Teachers Association and is preparing to sing in the state contest at Rock Hill. The Girls’ Glee Club has sung for an evening service at the Methodist Church and is planning to enter both the contest at Rock Hill and the one at Coker. + + + BAILEY ORGANIZES SCHOOL PATROL Patrolman C. H. Bailey of the State Highway Department has organized a student patrol at Hartsville High. Nine boys were elected by the Student Council to serve for the remainder of the year. They are as follows: Charles Ingram, Captain, James Easterling, Billy Crawford, Clifford Melton, Harold Blasingame, Jack McElveen, John D. Askins, W. C. Morris and Cecil Spires. Mr. Bailey met with these boys and with some of the school officials and explained to them the work of a patrol. The main function is to instruct, correct, and direct the students at street intersections near the school. White belts and badges were furnished the boys by the Highway Department. Mr. Bailey hopes that this school boy patrol will prove of great benefit to the Hartsville driving public, as well as to the High School students.

Bouknight, head coach NEW EQUIPMENT ADDS TO SCHOOL LIFE (Continued from page 1) The new commercial depax-tment which is made up of two rooms and an office, is located on the ground floor of the left wing. The typing room is equipped with new chairs and tables and accommodates thirty-nine typists. The ceiling is made of a material which reduces the noise of the typewriters for the room upstairs. The bookkeeping and shorthand room opposite the typing room has a cashier’s window and a small office. Between the two rooms is the teacher’s office. This is separated from the classroom by two large windows. It is equipped with an office desk, filing cabinet, and a showcase for exhibits. The department is one of the most up-to-date and modern departments in the state. The manual training building, one of the most recent additions, is a one-story brick structure located on the west side of the main building. The interior is divided into two rooms—the drawing room and the woodwork room, equipped with machines which the students opei'ate under the guidance of the vocational instructor, Mr. J. B. Compton. With the addition of this material the students followed their courses with a keener interest this year and now, those who are remaining are looking toward a bigger and much better Hai’tsville High School in years ahead. and W. R. McCown, assistant coach of Hartsville High School. Other coaches recognized were former coaches, W. P. Timmei-man, M. C. Williams, and W. P.

Twenty-seven Salutatory $ $ IT IS indeed a pleasure to be allowed the opportunity and privilege of welcoming you to this, the last meeting of our class. On behalf of the Seniors of 1929 I extend to you a hearty welcome. We are glad you are here. We know your presence signifies your interest, and nothing means more to us now than the realization that there are those who are interested in our welfare, our ambitions, and our undertakings. By attending our graduating exercises you have done us a great honor and have won for yourselves a permanent place in our affections. By the manifestations of your interest in us you have filled our hearts with untold joy. We hope we can afford you an evening of pleasure, an evening that will linger iong in your minds, remembering our ambitions and our eagerness to press on beyond our present knowledge into fields of higher service to our country and to our fellow men. In the future, we too shall have something upon which to look back. The interest you have shown in our graduation will be with us always; the experienced persons, into whose bright faces we look, will be an inspiration to us all along our way, and the gladness you have given us by honoring us with your presence will be one of our most-cherished treasures. It is your loving thoughts which help to make this occasion the greatest we have ever experienced. The symbolism of your attendance not only expresses to us a spirit of co-operation, but also reveals to us a touch of sentiment. Your attitude is that of earnestness and sincerely which makes us feel that the end of our high school course is only a beginning, a stepping stone to greater things. Your eagerness reveals to us that we possess a capacity of growth by which we hope to increase our ability and usefulness. Again, I welcome you to the exercises of the evening. I hope our last class meeting will prove interesting to you and that it will so impress you that it will stand out prominently among similar occasions which you have witnessed. Thelma Helms. Saluiaiorian 29 T u-enly-eighl Senior Class History $ « WHEN we, the class of 1929. Hartsville High School, entered the first grade, we did not dream of the illustrious position we would one time hold. The High School then was situated on the Grammar School Grounds and the word “Seniors meant nothing to us except a far-off select group of much older, conceited tas we thought I young ladies and gentlemen. Of the present class there were twenty members. Thelma Carpenter. Roberta McKinnon, Ruby Pennington. Margaret Tillotson. Naomi Stogner, Eugenia Burch. Sara Jordan. Willie Mae Benson, Margaret Goodson. Janie Parrish. Mildred Ingram. Man- Emma McDonald. Nance Tatum. James Graham, L. Z. Hicks, Dubose Egleston. Paul Blackwell. Lee Red fearn. Gus Hart. We were a very precocious group of youngsters then, with an amazing fund of knowledge! In fact, when Miss Rogers, our first grade teacher, asked if any of us had ever seen the wind, one young gentleman immediately replied: “Ycs’m, 1 have! Do you remember that ance? Our third yead was marked by the fact that we were sent to the High School, as the Grammar School was too crowded. Thus we were initiated into High School life rather early. By the time we had reached the seventh grade, our membership was increased by the following who had joined us in various grades: Elizabeth Sumner, Elizabeth Miller. Leno Woodruff. Dakota Melton, Elizabeth Haynes, Etta Mclnvaille. Alpha Rhodes. Dorothy Morgan, and William Shelley. Our Senior year in Grammar School was marked by a very interesting incident. Friday night. April 3, 1925, we were rudely awakened from our well earned slumbers by the shriek of the fire alarm. Most of us turned over and slept soundly, for though we knew it was the Grammar School box number, we had no idea that the schoolhouse would ever hum. The Seventh Grade girls were to go on a breakfast trip Sunday morning, but we came near not going, for what was our intense astonishment to find our school-building nothing but a mass of smoking ruins. But even that did not accord us a holiday. Monday morning found us installed at various points over the town, even churches and Sunday-school rooms being pressed into service. Our class was again in High School, for the Seventh Grade was installed in the chapel, which had been cleverly divided into two rooms by means of a beaver-board partition, which threatened several times to tumble on our heads. Oh. school life was quite interesting that year! At last our graduating time arrived. Exercises were held at Coker College, and we felt verv proud as we walked across the stage to receive our diplomas. nd now the second milestone was reached. When school opened in September, we were full-fledged High School members. We did not forget the fact, although the older members did hurl such appellations as ‘Tats.’ “greenies,” “Freshies. at us. For the first week or two. our heads were jumbles of schedu'es. units, bells, periods, rules, and goodness kniws what else. “What time is this period over?” “Where in the world is room 5?” were heard from every side. Finally we were straightened out. Our group came up from Grammar School almost intact and the following new members joined us: Ruth Love. Netta Mae Culpepper, and William Folsom. And now our record of achievements really started. In the eighth grade, we had two members in the Glee Club, several in the Orchestra, as well as several good athletes Our next year in High School, the ninth grade, saw the origination of a very interesting custom, by which we hope to be remembered. The Seniors were very much surprised one day to receive invitations to a lawn party given in their honor by the Sophomores. This party was held at the home of Roberta McKinnon and to judge from the remarks heard there and afterwards, “a good time was had by all.” In the ninth grade we had members in the Glee Club and Orchestra and several star athletes were on our class roll. Twenty-nine Nineteen twenty-seven 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. It was held May 20, in the High School Chapel, from which all the seats had been removed. The guests declared this was one of the prettiest banquets ever given. Another interesting event occurred that year. For the first time an All-State Chorus was held at the State Teachers' Association meeting at Greenville. Our class was well represented by the following Glee Club members: Roberta McKinnon. Eugenia Burch. Mary Leslie Townsend. Mary Elizabeth Law. Dubose Egleston. and Curtis Williams All of those students reported a wonderful time. We also contributed largely to the basketball team and football team. Our class had been considerably augmented by the following members: Josephine Stuckey, Frances DeLorme. Ruby Morrell. Moultrie Caston. Rebecca Flowers. Mary Leslie Townsend. Georgia Moore. Thelma Helms. Sara Beckham, Olivia Garland, Annie Belle Watkins. Broadus Howie, Alton Rhodes, and Curtis Williams. Several members were elected to membership in the National Honor Society: Roberta McKinnon, Margaret Tillotson, Margaret Goodson, Thelma Helms. And now came the grand climax of our High School career. When September 10th came and we entered school again, we found ourselves Seniors, dignified Seniors. About the first thing we did was to organize our class. William Folsom was elected President. Margaret Goodson. ice-President, and Margaret Tillotson. Secretary and Treasurer. We were glad to welcome five new members of out class. These were: Helen Voegeli. Laura and Suzanne lnabnit. and Aline «nd Aletha Smoak. Very soon plans were made for the RETROSPECT, which we had decided to publish. The staff was elected consisting of the following: James Steen. Editor-in-Chief; Mary Elizabeth Law, Literary Editor; Margaret Goodson and Vance Tatum. Athletic Editors: and George Wall, L. Z. Hicks, and Roberta McKinnon. Business Managers. The next problem was to raise money for this project. We decided upon “The Zander-Gump bedding in which all of the newspaper comic section characters, such as Mutt and Jeff, and Maggie and Jiggs. were represented. It w'as a great success. Glee Club. Football and Basketball practice began about this time. We contributed several members to each group; to the Glee Club: Leno Woodruff. Helen Voegeli. Roberta McKinnon. Mary Leslie Townsend, Eugenia Burch, George Wall, James Steen. Dubose Egleston, William Folsom, Curtis Williams; to the Football team: George Wall. James Graham. James Steen, Gus Hart. William Folsom. William Shelley: to the Basketball team: Thelma Helms. Alpha Rhodes, Margaret Goodson. Sara Jordan. Margaret Tillotson, Kitty Best. Sara Beckham, and as manager, Dorothy Morgan. Soon Christmas time came. The last day before our well-earned holiday began, the Seniors instituted a new and very lovely custom. Besides bringing gifts for each other, every one brought some article of food which we piled around the foot of our Christmas Tree. All of this was sent to Mrs. Davis, to be used by the Red Cross. We hope this custom will be followed every year throughout the entire school. January 3rd we returned to school. What was our joy to find that the Annex had been completed and the Senior girls wrere established in room thirteen. But our joy was short-lived, for hardly had we got settled when the Mid-year Exams were upon us. The less said about Exams, the better. March 4th will long be remembered not only by the Seniors, but by the whole school as well. A newf radio in combination with an Orthophonic victrola had just been purchased by the school, and we had the rare privilege of hearing Hoover’s inauguration direct from Washington. We Seniors feel rather possessive about that radio, it is being paid for mainly by money earned through the little store where three of our Senior girls, Mary Leslie Townsend. Helen oegeli. and Roberta McKinnon spent their entire recess. Thirty March and April seem to be the time for contests. The Glee Club contest, at Coker College for the Denny Cup, was held April 18, and for the first time, Hartsville’s Glee Club was victorious. We contributed several members to this, and feel rather proud. Hartsville also won the right, by competing in Sumter, to be represented in Columbia at the Statd Shorthand and Typing Contest. The team consisted of three Seniors, Margaret Tillotson, Dakota Melton, and Sara Beckman, who won first place in the Eighty-Word-per-Minute contest. Margaret Tillotson. writing as an individual in the Hundred-Word-per-Minute contest, was awarded second place. The Track Meet was held at the same time and L Z. Hicks, James Steen, and Thomas Rhodes, went from the Seniors to represent Hartsville High. Inter-class contests were held also, and the Seniors won both girls’ and boys basketball and track contests. On March 21 and 22, The State Teachers Association met in Columbia. Three Senior girls, three Senior boys represented us in the Chorus and four Seniors in the Orchestra. Alpha Rhodes won third place in the Cotton Dress Contest held in Columbia, April 26 and 27. Friday night. April 19. the High School Gymnasium was a scene of a frolic which cannot be adequately described. At eight o'clock the Seniors began a parade to the Gym. dressed in the most fantastic, ridiculous costumes ever devised. Shrieks of laughter greeted us as we marched in. then solemnly seated ourselves around the basketball court. Several short numbers, readings, dances, were given by Seniors, and then the climax of the evening came, a basketball game between the boys and girls’ Senior Teams. The boys played by girls' rules and dressed in girls’ clothes: P'v girls wore overalls. It was a perfect riot. Every one said it was worth the admission price twice over, particularly to see Mr. Timmerman, Mr. Thornwell. and Miss Pegues By this time class day officers had been elected: Prophet. L. Z. Hicks; Poet. Leno Woodruff; Lawyer, Dubose Egleston; Historian, Mary Elizabeth Law. The Valedictorian chosen was Janie Parrish, first honor graduate, and the Salutatorian. Thelma Helms, second honor graduate. Friday, May third, was another great day in our Senior year. On that morning, all the Seniors went out to Segars Mill and had a general good time until one-thirty, when the faculty arrived (no harm meant). Then dinner was prepared and what a dinner it was! Fried chicken, deviled eggs, sandwiches, potato chips, lemonade, and everything else that’s good. After dinner, we were privilegd to stay or to go home, as we wished. Tuesday, May the seventh at eight o’clock ushered in an affair to which we had been looking forward for many years—the Junior-Senior Banquet. As we walked into the Gymnasium, we gasped in sheer astonishment, for the whole stage had been literally transformed into a place of fairy-like loveliness. The ceiling was completely hidden by long streamers of crepe paper, ol every conceivable color, caught together in the center over a huge bunch of ballons and attached to the walls at the other ends. The walls, too. were hidden by a realistic lattice fence with enticing little gates opening here and there. The tables, colorful and sparkling, were arranged in a square, with one side open. We were delightfully entertained with a duet dance, a solo dance, several popular songs, and an interesting pantomime. It was a most enjoyable occasion and one which will be remembered always in the hearts of the Seniors. The exercises of Commencement week are the finishing touches to the career of the Seniors of 1929. As we go out from our Alma Mater, we look back on the busiest, happiest, and most profitable four years of our entire school career. Mary Elizabkth Law, Historian ’29 Thirty-one Senior Class Poem ❖ $ Many are the years we've spent together, Sharing our joys and sorrows. Memories oj days which have passed and gone Shall linger for all the to-morrows. Unlearned and eager we were at first. But striving to do our best. Always aiming at ideals high, Trying to pass the test. Keeping the standards strong and true Of our dear Mother School, Learning things not found in hooks. Nor set to any rule. IVe're leaving the scene of our sorrows and joys To go out on life's highway. And as we go, thy teachings will guide us And help us throughout every day. Leno Woodruff, Class Poet, '29 Thirty-two Senior Class Prophecy $ $ MV NAME is L. Z. Hicks. Jr. I was horn in Hartsville and received my early education in the Hartsville City Schools. In 1929, I graduated from Hartsviile High School. After four years in Clemson College. I graduated in 1933. The big question then before me was: “What shall I do now? This question solved itself. One day. the summer following my graduation, I received a letter from the head of the Government Flying School at Curtis Field. Long Island, the same school which Lindbergh attended. It was very interesting to me for I had been rather keen about flying, ever since Lindbergh's flight. Very soon after receiving the letter. II left for Curtis Field. After many trials and tribi lations. not to mention the hairbreadth escapes from sudden death. II emerged, a full-blown pilot. By this time aviation had progressed to an amazing degree. Where it once took all of thirty-three hours to fly from New York to Paris, it was now but a matter of an afternoon. I was offered a position as mail pilot from New lork to Paris, and of course, I did not hesitate to accept it. One lovely spring afternoon 1 left New York after dinner to fly to Paris. It was ideal flying weather, and I arrivtd at Le Bourget Field. Paris, far ahead of my usual schedule. After the routine of checking off the mail, 1 prepared for my return flight, instead of waiting until the following morning as I usually did. But fate decreed otherwise. Just as I stepped into the cockpit, an attendant handed me a message from America, advising me not to return for a day at least, as atmospheric conditions along the eastern I . S. Coast were not very good for night flying. I stayed at the hotel on the field that night, and early the next morning was out in my plane for some exploring. It wras a wonderful day. The sky had never seemed more blue, with only an occasional fleecy cloud to be seen. Far below wras the lovely French landscape, with its orderly farms and long stretches of green forest About noon 1 found myself over northern Greece. I was getting hungry, so I decided to land and eat my lunch. Picking out a flat piece of greensward, I shut my motor off. and glided to a perfect landing amid the most beautiful surroundings imaginable. The place where I landed was in a perfect minature valley. Tall mountains, their snowy caps sharp against the azure skies, formed a circle around a little glade, covered with the greenest, freshest grass 1 have ever seen. There was a profusion of flowers, flowers whose names I did not know, blooming in a perfect riot of color. I could not believe that such a spot really existed, and half-humorously. half-seriouslv pinched myself to see if 1 was dreaming. And then, turning at the sound of voices. I knew I must be dreaming. I’nder a large, spreading tree was a beautiful maiden, seated by a spinning wheel. Beside her was another maiden, holding a spindle and behind the two, a third maiden holding a large pair of shears. Suddenly it flashed upon me: This was Olympus and these the Prophetic Sisters, the Three Fates. Clotho. Laches is and Atropos. Slowly I walked towards them and one of them, hearing me approach, said in the sweetest, most musical voice I ever heard: “Welcome, Mortal. What can we do for thee? ’ For a moment I stood dazed, then my thoughts turned back to my many friends of High School days, my classmates, with whom I graduated. These were the Prophetic Sisters. Could they not tell me of the fate of my friends, many of whom I bad not seen since 1929? “Tell me. sisters, of my friends, whom I have not seen for so long. “Watch, oh, mortal, Atropos replied, smiling, “and as the threads of life are woven, you will see many pictures. So seating myself comfortably on the grass. I watch. As the Sisters slowly spin. I see among the shining thread? Alpha Khodes. Thelma Helms. Sara Jordan and Masgaret Goodson. in Columbia, each with a champion basketball team, waiting to play for the all-southern title. In order to take care of any casualties during the games. Doctor DuBose Egleston has come to Columbia. It was hard for him to leave his profitable practice in Dovesville. but his heart is still with his Alma Mater. At last an adequate bridge is being built over Black Creek, and the capable engineers are Gus Hart and Allen Harrelson. Among the new enterprises in Hartsville is an up-to-date Beauty Parlor. In the three efficient operators. I recognize Kitty Best, Frances DeLorme and Ruby Pennington, Thirty-three A new record has been set in pole-vaulting for the entire U. S. This record is held by Thomas Rhodes. Well, Tom, we always knew you would rise to great heights in your favorite sport. What is this great crowd I see? Oh yes! The State Fair at Columbia, and Alton Rhodes is being proclaimed champion water-melon grower of South Carolina. As the threads weave on, I see Mary Leslie Townsend singing and Mary Elizabeth Law playing the piano. Mary Leslie is director of the Voice Department of Coker College, and Mary Elizabeth has just accepted a contract with Redpath Chautauqua. Here are two fine looking business men. Lee Redfearn is owner of a chain of grocery stores, which bid fair to rival the A. P., and James Steen owns many meat markets, with headquarters in Hartsville. The Florence Infirmary has had its nursing staff greatly increased in efficiency by the addition of Ruby Morrell, Moultrie Caston, Josephine Stuckey, Nctta Mae Culpepper and Rebecca Flowers, all splendid nurses. Curtis Williams looks very business like as he keeps books for Coker Co. He is also a member of a famous male quartet which has broadcasted several times. Here I see Dorothy Morgan as second assistant French teacher in a large Western University. We knew you liked French, Dot, but not that well. Hanging on the wall of the Metropolitan Art Gallery in New York. I see a beautiful pic’ure. with Elizabeth Miller's name in one corner. Elizabeth has been acclaimed the most promising artist of the last ten years. More teachers: Roberta McKinnon. I aura Inahnit and Janie Parrish, each trying to look a bit more stern than the rest. Roberta seems to be succeeding very well W'illiam Folsom likes being president. He is now President of the Rank of Hartsville. Broadus Howie is superintendent of the Auburn City Schools. He has had to employ two secretaries to help him in his many duties, and 1 see Olivia Garland and Sara Beckman doing this work very efficiently. New York City’s largest daily now has a very efficient editor in Margaret Tilli son. You remember that Margaret was voted the brightest future by her class. Standing in the door of Hartsville’s largest undertaking establishment I see Mildred Ingram. The threads weave on, and 1 cannot see the name over the door, bu: 1 shall leave that to your imagination. Dakota Melton and Etta Mclnvaille are doing well as public accountants. Eugenia Burch has gone far with her beautiful voice. She is now prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Georgia Moore is her business manager. Paramount Pictures have a very famous star now. She is Elizabeth Haynes and how she does act! South Carolina has two very effective lawyers in Aline Smoak and Susan Inahnit. Because of their great arguing ability, they have won every case so far. Ruth Love has become a noted designer of dresses, with headquarters in Paris and New York. Wool worth's has at last located a store in Hartsville and as clerks I sec Willie Mae Benson. Anna Belle Watkins. Thelma Carpenter and Charlotte Carpenter. Aletha Smoak has become a Methodist Missionary to China. Elizabeth Sumner has grown famous for her delicious biscuits. She has quite a few to make biscuits for now'. As I look at the next picture. I begin to smile, for I see Naomi Stogner. our alwavs-Iaughing classmate, as leading lady in Christie Comedies. Another actress! The Bleachery has grown considerably and has a very efficient president in Miss Helen Voegeli. Leno Woodruff is w'riting poems for a new international newspaper. She is the only woman in the world to write a poem a day. And now the last picture. I see Mary Emma McDonald and Bill Shelley walking hand-in-hand. But something has happened, for Mary Emma is as silent as the grave and Bill is certainly breaking all talking recirds. How times have changed! And now the picture fades and I find myself standing by my plane, with no sign of the three fates. Was it all a dream? L Z Hicks, Jk., Prophet, '29 Thirty-jour Senior Class Will s $ WE.

Dr Bosk Ecleston Lawyer ’29 James Georce W'ilds Wr P. Timmerman Johnny Spence Witnesses Thirty-eight Class Valedictory e 4 Parents. Friends, Teachers, and Fellow Students: WE HAVE come to the close of our high school career. Gladness mingled with sadness reigns in our hearts as we are about to say adieu to those with whom we have been associated and to whom we have become greatly attached during the past four years. Looking back on these four years, crowded as they have been with the many activities of high school life, the class of 1929 is greatly impressed with the fact that the students comprising this class graduating here tonight have had the rare good fortune of being connected with the Hartsville High School during the period of its greatest growth, development, and accomplishment. We look with a peculiar sense of pride on the rapid progress of our school—an institution which has kept pace with the most progressive schools of the larger cities, and we would indeed be unworthy if we did not leave as our parting message some expression of our gratitude—we who have been so fortunate as to be its beneficiaries during its greatest period of service. To the Board of Trustees, we give our thanks for the many ways in which they have provided for our needs, both physical and spiritual. We are grateful too, to the citizens of Hartsville for their unflagging interest in our school activities and for their hearty response to our many demands. To Mr. Thornwell, our beloved Superintendent, who has always worked untiringly in our behalf, w'hose spirit of guidance has made possible our advancement, we wish to express our deepest appreciation and genuine affection. To Mr. Hungerpiller, our Principal, we extend our thanks for his unselfish devotion and wise leadership. To our Teachers, who have led us through difficult paths of knowledge, we owe a debt which we shall find difficult to pay. We would remember, too, our fellow students for the courtesies they have shown to us as upper-classmen. We shall never forget the many pleasures we have shared together. And now fellow classmates, we as a class must bid these dear friends of ours, and each other farewell. The time has come when there is no longer a place for us as a class, at the Hartsville High School. Succeeding classes must take our place as Seniors, and we must assume even greater responsibilities in higher institutions of learning or in some chosen vocation. Wre shall be separated in person, but as loyal, devoted alumni of this splendid high school we shall always be together in spirit.

Harry Forty-one Junior Class History s s DURING September of 1926, our class was accepted into Hartsville High School under the title of “Rats.” Since we were new to the customs and ways of the school, our teachers very kindly directed us in making out our schedules and assisted us in falling into the regular routine of school life. We had many boys and girls to enter into the various activities of the school during our first year. In our Sophomore year, we advanced considerably in all the sports. We had many members on the basketball, football, and baseball squads. As was customary, we gave the Seniors a lawn party and all enjoyed the games and sports which we had for the entertainment of our guests. In our Junior year we had four members on the football squad, five boys on the boys’ basketball squad, four girls on the girls’ basketball squad, and three boys on the baseball squad. We had four members in the Glee Club who went to Columbia to the State Teachers’ Association and sang in the All-State Chorus. Four of our class entered the declamation contest and many members were in the Carrollum Forum. Four members were elected to the National Honor Society: Annie Lou Segars. Eva Blanche Davis, Fred Carpenter, and Hawthorne Best. We have done well as a class so far, and hope to keep up our reputation by being the best Senior Class of H. H. S.

Some came up from the seventh grade, where they had for many months been busily engaged in storing their minds with the honey of wisdom; some were green and fresh from a far country; some came from the farm where they had been tillers of the soil; and some were from other halls of instruction. But regardless of the various places out of which members hailed, they have come together as one. and the following description applies to them as a whole. The class is made up of thirty-nine girls and thirty-one boys- Taken together as one in body, as we are supposed to be in spirit, we make up an individual of sufficient age to know a great deal, if he’s ever going to learn, for he would be two hundred and seventy years old—verging upon veneration. Our height is eighty feet, five inches. This raises us far enough up in the world to allow us to tower above our enemies, and look down upon the inferior undergraduates. You can see. too. what a heavy proposition we are by the fact that taken together we tip the scales at exactly one thousand and fifty-three pounds. Our head is of sufficient capacity to hold even the vast amount of knowledge we have been cramming into it for the past two years, for we require a hat that measures eighty-seven and three-quarters. If we do not make the success in life that we desire and expect, it will surely not be because we cannot gain a foothold upon the world’s battleground, for we wear a number forty-nine shoe. We have within our ranks poets, musicians, actresses, preachers, statesmen, philosophers, professors, judges, lecturers, physicians, authors, artists, warriors, and one United States President. Do not ask me to specify the which or the who. Ask me thirty years from now. and perhaps 1 may be able to say. for of course they are still in a partial development, and while I can tell you what they are now “it doth not yet appear what they shall be.” Irene Chitty.

Lelana Forty-seven Freshman Class History NOT very many months ago we were Seniors in our Grammar School and were sure that we were very important people. We didn’t realize how little we knew and how much we still had to learn. Then we were sent as verdant Freshmen to our High School, and verdant we were. Soon we realized just what we were, and began to study hard and long to become something better. We are about to realize a part of our ambition and will soon take one more step up to the Sophomore class. Our stay in the Freshman class has. on the whole, been a very happy one. Our teachers have been pleasant, and they have done their best under circumstances which were very trying to them. We want them to know that we appreciate their patience. In athletics we have been ably represented on all the varsity teams, as we have been in the Glee Club. In the future years we are going to try to be better students and better athletes than ever before. Katie McKinnon, Historian Forty-eight
