Home Economics CLASS POEM By Joyce Gaston, ’43 These boys and girls you here behold Are young and strong and very bold. If you will look into each eye, You’ll see resolve to do or die For freedom and the cause of right Against the hordes of evil might. We may seem very young to you. But we will prove what we can do. Our love for God will make us strong; Give us the power to crush all wrong, That suffering, want, and fear may cease, And man may win a lasting peace.

From the very first, this class, in spite of the turbulent period that has marked its career, has been notable for its spirit of unification. Every member has always entered wholeheartedly into whatever the group undertook to achieve. The correct mental attitude of cooperation and helpfulness toward the school and school authorities has distinguished this group. Our class. 240 strong, started to school on a bright September morning in the fall of 1932. Although this was the peak year of the depression, conditions in the Hartsville schools were kept more stable than in most other schools of the State. One reason for this was that, even though salaries were cut. they were never completely stopped. Our teachers had fewer financial worries and were, therefore, able to do better work, so that we. their mischievous young charges, were sublimely unconscious of the gloom hanging just over our heads. Of the 240 students that entered the first grade. 129 graduated from grammar school. Because of the epidemic of infantile paralysis in the spring of 1939. we were not allowed to have the graduation exercises from grammar school that had been the privilege of all the other classes before us. This was a particularly great disappointment to everyone who had looked forward to a special part in the exercises. In spite of this restriction, however, we had a short program out under the huge oak tree on the school grounds where we received our certificates. When this group of 129, together with 56 others from outlying districts, entered high school, it continued on its way just as it had done in grammar school, except on a larger and wider scale. Its members entered into the larger field of high school life with the same zeal that had distinguished them in their first seven school years and quickly adjusted themselves to the new conditions around them. In the freshman year Orgla Powell. Jis president, piloted the class forward: in the sophomore year Gordon Moore took over this office, and Merle Davis was chosen head of the junior class. In its senior year. Harrell Gardner became president of the class. Our entrance into high school in the fall of 1939 had been marked by another catastrophe, one of world-wide significance, for it was on September 1. 19 39. that the Nazis marched into Poland. Already people were talking about the prospect of America's entering the war. Although this global conflict has brought about many changes in the high school, the members of our war time class have been able to continue their education along almost the same lines as those of previous years. During their junior and senior years, they voted not to have the Junior-Senior banquet. This banquet has always meant a great deal to every class, but they were consoled in the thoughts that in their small way they were contributing toward the war effort. In the ninth grade, the students wrote themes entitled. My Chosen Vocation. Most of the vocations were the ordinary ones of teachers, interior decorators, florists, doctors, nurses, news reporters, secretaries, beauty operators, farmers, and business men. Almost all the peacetime careers were represented. Only one boy mentioned a career in the army or navy and this was only from a desire to see the world. Now. we do not know what peacetime work to prepare for. because we do not know what kind of world this will be after the war. Long range planning is almost impossible. Girls are joining the WAACS. WAVES, and SPARS. Boys are entering various branches of the armed forces. Because of the war. this class has lost almost one-half of its membership in the four high school years. This loss is due to two reasons. First, pupils themselves are going into war work. Second, a number of students are kept at home because their fathers and mothers are doing some kind of work that has opened up to them because of the war. Of the 31 boys starting out in the Senior Class, we have lost eight. One boy made enough units to enter college for the second semester. Two boys entered the armed forces and the others entered various types of defense work. Of the 185 boys and girls who entered high school in the fall of 19 39 at the beginning of the war. 75 have survived. We have come a long way since the depression year of 1932. We have braved the perils of disease, only to come out in the midst of the most merciless conflict the world has ever known. Yet we have always found the courage to laugh: for in our hearts we have the high hopes of youth that the journey is. after all. just beginning and that henceforth our ways may be the ways of peace, freedom, and happiness. —MERLE Davis. Class Historian '43 Page Twenty-two SENIOR SUPERLATIVES Gordon Moore Most Studious Boy Though Gordon, characteristically, is carrying an armful of textl ooks, he is surely amused at the moment by the passage Margaret is pointing out on the subject of Sjwrts. Margaret Stucky Most Studious Girl What’s the knotty problem, Margaret? Or are yon merely pretending a brown study? For the book you hold in your hand is surely a treatise on baseball rather than physics. Raymond Stokes Most Athletic Boy “He's a wonder, he’s a dream, he’s the captain of our team. Raymond surely has what it takes and he never gives up till the very end. Ruth Barbie Most Athletic Girl You need more to be a good athlete than mere muscle. Good sportsmanship ami a sense of fair play count as much as physical ability. For these and other reasons, we have in Ruth a true athlete. Bob Bass Most Patriotic Boy When it comes to whipping the Axis on the home front. Bob, the captain of the I . K. I , company, really leaves the Marines tagging behind. Lucille McLeod Most Patriotic Girl She may not In a WAVE, nor yet a WAAC: but she’s doing her bit by buying war stamps ami bonds. Norwood Davis Best Looking Boy You may think that those three famous adjectives, “tall. dark, and handsome.’’ are just something you read about; Hut have you seen our pride and joy, Norwood Davis? Carolyn Kea Best Looking Girl In Carolyn we think we have the answer to a movie scout’s prayer. We don’t know about the acting, but she really has the looks. SENIOR SUPERLATIVES Ervin McLendon Best Mannered Boy No girl need ever fear a moment's embarrassment with Ervin, for his manners are impeccable. Behold the modern Ix :d Chesterfield seating his girl of the moment. Merle Davis Best Mannered Girl Perhaps some day, instead of referring to Emily Post, we may be following Merle Davis's newer and more up-to-date rules of etiquette. Bob BASS Most in Love Spring is in the air. tra-la. Birds are singing and flowers are springing. But if you want first hand information on love, ask Boh, the sentimental | oet; he knows. Ruth Barbie Most in Love If Bol can’t tell you, just take a look at Ruth, who seems to he enjoying a quiet tete-a-tete with our young Romeo. Charles Dalton Shyest Boy How Charles would like to get around that big obstacle between him and Anne! Some boys would simply slice through anything that got in their way. but | erhaps Charles is afraid such a procedure might frighten Miss Mullet away. Anne Cannon Shyest Girl But Anne, a'lso, is peeping shyly around that fern to see just what the young man intends to do altout the situation. We are sure, from the expression on Anne’s face, that she is half hoping his rising courage will throw caution to the wind. Harrell Gardner Most Mischievous Boy Keenest Sense of Humor What mischief have we here? We wonder whose brain hatched up the latest plot that is alnnit to disturb the peace of the school’s most tranquil spot —the library, of all places! Sarah Frances Mixon Most Mischievous Girl Keenest Sense of Humor Whatever’ brewing, surely Sarah’s in it as deep as Harrell: but don’t be too harsh, for here they’re only having a little harmless fun. SENIOR SUPERLATIVES Bob Bass Best All round Boy Most Sincere Everything that rocs to make up a typical senior may be found in Boh. for his abilities arc as varied as his interests, which arc wide enough to include such different fields as horticulture, photography, poetry, war. and love. Orcla Powell Best All-round Girl Most Sincere And here’s a girl of whom it might he said. “If you want a thing done, get Orgla to do it ; for Orgla seems to l e able to do almost anything required of her with uncommon ease ami dispatch. Albert Burnette Best Dressed Bou If there were a magazine. “Young Esquire. Albert would appear in the leading fashion plate for Spring Styles of ’43. Catherine Byrnes Best Dressed Girl Girls, when you have trouble selecting your new spring outfit, just come over to Hartsville High and ask for Catherine Byrnes. She’s our “Mademoiselle” style editor for 1950. Jack Gainey Friendliest Boy Did anyone ever feel a warmer, firmer handclasp than Jack’s? or meet a friendlier smile? Sarah Frances Mixon Friendliest Girl “Sissy’s stock of friends never seems to run out, because her sincere goodwill includes you and me and all the rest of the world except Hitler. Mussolini. ami llirohito. Harrell Gardner Most Optimistic Boy Even the prospect of being “caught in the draft” couldn’t erase that impish grin from Harrell's face, for he still goes on playing pranks as in pre-war times.

More than one hundred pigs are being fed for six months, with each boy feeding two pigs and selling them at the end of the feeding period. They use the money from one pig to purchase War Bonds: quite a sum has been saved in this way. Money customarily spent for a picture in the annual is being invested in War Bonds and stamps. The boys are helping with the school garden and giving full support to the large canning program for feeding our people in the Hartsville territory. The leaders of this working chapter of Future Farmers are as follows: OFFICERS Brastice Howell.......................................................

The results of the study were that 118 pupils, 48 boys and 70 girls, undertook the activities of the Victory Corps. While the response was not as widespread as could be desired, good results have been obtained. Standards set up for membership in the Victory Corps are not of themselves high but they do suggest that members must be accomplishing things in scholarship, in physical fitness programs, and in activities that promote the war effort in this country. Members of the Victory Corps have had a part in various campaigns that have been undertaken during the year, some of which are still in progress. The most spectacular of these campaigns was the scrap drive. Enthusiasm ran high. Boys and girls combed the backyards, the roadsides, the woods, and the creeks to find metals desirable for manufacturing equipment needed by the armed forces. Vehicles and means of every imaginable kind—trucks, pickups, cars, wagons, push carts, wheelbarrows, toy wagons, bicycles, human hands, human backs and shoulders—were used to swell the pile of scrap at the junk yard: 330,070 pounds were collected. The Key Kampaign produced many varieties of keys—big keys, little keys, long keys, short keys, round keys, flat keys, thick keys, thin keys, solid keys, hollow keys, good keys, bad keys, whole keys, broken keys, useful keys, useless keys, iron keys, brass keys, pounds, and pounds, and pounds of them. The Christmas Seal sale far surpassed anything that we had accomplished before. A total amount of $320.00 was turned in. Junior Red Cross did itself proud, going over three hundred per cent above any former record. Old musty, corroded pennies that had retired from circulation came to light and usefulness again by the thousand. The campaign to increase the sale of war stamps and bonds is still in progress. Up to January. 1943, students and teachers had invested $4,864.45 in this way. In addition, the student body has agreed to buy enough stamps and bonds to pay for the construction of two jeeps—$1.800—but it would not be surprising if they bought three or four. Numerous girls have been busy in afternoons or nights at the Red Cross rooms rolling bandages. Boys and girls have taken courses in first aid. Practically daily, drilling has been practiced on the athletic fields. The phrases of military command have become familiar to the ears of our pupils. Obstacle courses and calisthentics are contributing their part in building strong and agile bodies among our boys. In one way or another, our pupils are contributing vitally to the war effort while at the same time they carry on the usual work of the school. Page Forty-three 1. Bookworm? 2. What's up? 3.

MELTON C OKLR Football Squad and Managers Page Forty-seven FOXES OF '42 On a hot September afternoon, a group of about thirty boys of all sizes came to the football field to meet the new coach. I say new but he was new only to these Foxes to be. for he had coached in this school nine years before. He coached the first Red Foxes through their only undefeated season in the history of the school. No one knew just what was in store for the Foxes of 4 2 but in the near future this team was to be left coachless. Mr. Williams was to be called back into the Navy to help coach a much bigger team, the team that will bring victory to the Allied Nations in the near future. This group of awkward boys, except for the few remaining veterans of former years, surveyed the new coach in wonderment. In three short weeks this coach had these boys developed into a smooth working team. The boys had been thinned out considerably during the shake down practice but the remaining twenty-five dark horses were ready to take on all comers. The first team to take up the challenge of the Foxes was the Bishopvillc Dragons. They arrived in Hartsville about five o’clock and by game time the spirits of both teams had soared to new heights. A nervous pack of Red Foxes met the Dragons on the field for the kickoff. After the first plays of the game, the Foxes settled down to the problem of defeating the Dragons by a score of 19 to 0. The Dragons fought back stubbornly against the repeated thrusts of their foes but to no avail. History repeated itself in that nine years ago the Foxes, under Coach Williams, defeated the Bishopvillc Dragons by the same score. There is still another story behind that game that hasn’t been told. Just between you and me. Dr. Thornwell came to the dressing room a few minutes before the game with the news that Mr. Williams was called to the Navy and had to leave within the next week. It was with a grim determination to win by the same score as had Mr. Williams' team of nine years before that the untested Foxes trotted on to the field that night. A proud team went happily to the showers that night although their spirits were stunned by the losing of their coach. In the future when peace comes again, maybe Mr. Williams will return and take up where he left off with a new pack of Foxes. It is the team’s sincerest wish that this may happen. The problem of a new coach now confronted the team. Our second game with the mighty Chcraw Braves was scarcely a week away. Out of a clear sky fate took a hand and gave the Foxes a man whose name will live in the history of our school records. This man was Mr. J. B. Harvin. He took over where Coach Williams left off. Time was too short to put in his brand of football so he gave the burden to Quarterback Fagan who did a noble job in the attack against Cheraw. The Cheraw passing attack was too much for the Foxes to handle. All the blame for their 1 8 to 6 defeat can't be attributed to the passing attack because the Foxes had switched coaches and the team was outweighed by the Chcraw team. There was also the clement of over confidence caused by the recent victory over the Bishopville eleven. The beaten Foxes under their new coach had lost most of their cockiness and were willing to settle down to the task of engaging the powerful Monroe team. They caught on easily to Coach Marvin's method of football. It looked complicated on the surface but was really quite simple underneath and later proved its worth against heavy odds. The squad’s spirits rose as the game with Monroe drew near. Enthusiasm soared even more when they completely mastered this dazzling method of football. Monroe was taken completely by surprise by this small but tough team which they met on the field that cool Friday night. Monroe also had a bad case of over confidence when they viewed the smaller team. They outweighed the Foxes about 15 pounds to the man. Determined that they were not to be outplayed by their powerful opponents, the Foxes fought bitterly through the first quarter of the game. During the second quarter of the game the Foxes were driven behind their own goal to make the score 2 to 0 in favor of Monroe. Gloating over their success, the opposing team kicked off to the Foxes again and the Little Red Team began an unhalted march to pay dirt The repeated onslaughts from every formation in the book, which was Coach Harvin's method, enabled the Foxes to completely bewilder the larger team and hold them to a score of 6 to 2 for the remainder of the game. In addition to this, the Hartsville team was a constant threat to the Tar Heel goal. This was one of the most brilliant games of the season. The whole team fought with undying spirit and courage to the last whistle. The Tar Heels retreated into the hills of North Carolina until they get another chance at another Hartsville team. Next on the list came Florence with a much bigger team which was largely responsible for the temporary downfall of the Foxes. It was played after a hard week of practice and scrimmage. The night on the local field when the two teams clashed will long be remembered by the squad. The entire team was dizzy from the constant onslaughts of the Florence team. The visitors greatly outnumbered as well as outweighed the Foxes. It’s true that only eleven men are on the field at one time but that does not mean that it doesn’t have any effect on the morale of a team to come on the field from the dressing room and see so many more men in uniform than they have. This game was very costly to the Foxes as it took one of our best tackles. Earl Chapman, from the line for the rest of the year. This was a blow to the Foxes, for his position would be hard to fill. The coach managed to carry on and hold the Florence team to a score of 20 to 6. The boys fought gallantly through the game and when they came from the field they were very badly bruised and shaken. Coach Harvin was well satisfied with the spirit the boys had shown throughout the game. The team was over the worst of the schedule for the next two weeks. Every team must have a dark spot on its record. Well, the Olympia game was our dark spot. The Foxes’ off night was to come sooner or later. Olympia just outplayed the Foxes all Page Forty-eight through the game. If the Foxes had been on the beam that night, they could have built up a large score. Our team was the better coached of the two and should have done away with the Olympia eleven in short order, but instead they were defeated by a score of 13 to 6. This happens to every team at least once in a season so let's just chalk this defeat up to fate. The next game was the temporary ruination of the Foxes as it took another of our best tackles. This claimed James Beck, the largest man on the squad. It sent a note of despair through the spirits of all the boys for they were destined to meet nothing but calamity all through the season. This goes with football though, and the boys made the best of it. Although this game s score was in favor of Lancaster, the opposing team, the only way you could know what a magnificent fight the local team put up against heavy odds would be for you to have been there to see it yourself. I feel sorry for those of you who didn't see it for it was one of the most spectacular of all the games played on the local field. The Little Red I cam was defeated by a score of 27 to 6 after a great game, but they went to the showers confident that they had done their best. All who saw the game were proud of the boys. Camden furnished our visitors the following week. Again the Foxes bowed to their opponents by a score of I 3 to 7. This game was fought against a well coached team on about the same level as the Foxes. The Foxes' spirit and the line’s efficiency were dulled by the loss of our two tackles. From looking at the past records of the teams in the history of our schools, you will notice that the Camden team has always proved a headache to coaches of other teams. The boys played a swell game all the way through but were unable to defeat this group of well working players. Our next game was played in Chester. It was the only trip for our boys besides the one to Darlington. T his too was a defeat for the Foxes but not before they had put up a whale of a battle. Chester knew when the game was over that they had been in a fight. It is always difficult for a team to play on a strange field, but the Foxes usually make the best of their resources on any field. But that one of Chester! To begin with, the field was frozen and instead of grass had rocks. In addition to all this, the boys and spectators nearly froze to death. They were used to the good Hartsville field and climate and were completely out of place in the hills of Chester. The cheerleaders accompanied the team on the trip which was enjoyed by the whole crowd. The score of 21 to 0 was accomplished only after the Little Red Team put up a game fight. Chester was the only team that the local eleven failed to score on. That in itself is proof of the quality of the Hartsville High bunch. —Bob Bass, '43.

THE FREEDOMS WE FIGHT FOR Today, almost every nation of the world is at war. We. the United States of America, arc fighting, along with many other nations, for a cause that is greater than any other a war could be fought for. Our men and women have suffered on the battlefronts and in prison camps for this cause. Our forefathers have had the same experience. This cause is Freedom, freedom from want and freedom from fear. Each is dependent upon all of the others. Each supports the whole idea of Liberty, the liberty which you and I have and must fight to keep. The freedom that probably ranks highest in the minds of most Americans today and which ranked highest in the minds of those of the past is the freedom of worship. This was the number one freedom of our forefathers. They gave up their homes and came to America, where they braved dangers and hardships to win it. They settled the thirteen colonies which were extended and united to form the great democratic nation in which we live today. Since the first colony was settled in America, this freedom has had a strong bearing upon the minds of the American people. They have fought with their very lives, won over opposing and tyrannical governments, and preserved this freedom for us down through the ages. Today, it means just as much to us as it did to our forefathers. We arc engaged in a world wide conflict. Our boys are risking their lives on battlefronts and in prison camps to preserve our heritage of religious freedom. They, as well as we. realize that without it. no democracy is possible: that without it America would be as Nazi Germany is today, where there is no free church, no free conscience, no freedom of worship. You have only to compare our religious conditions with those of Germany. Italy, and Japan to see how fortunate we are that we can go to the church we like or none at all. If necessary, we must defend this freedom with our lives. We must preserve it for America until Kingdom Come. Another freedom which ranks high in the list is the freedom of speech. Included in this freedom arc the freedoms of the press, assembly, and petition. We could not have a free press unless we could express our thoughts. We could not have free assembly if. when we did assemble, we were unable to express our opinions. Freedom of petition would be impossible if we could not exercise our desires and wishes. In time of war. we should not get angry if the Government asks us to restrict this freedom so as not to publish an article or encourage gossip that would aid the enemy. This would be the same as refusing when the Government asks us to help defend our country, and I am sure we want to do everything possible to make democracy everlasting. A free press, through free speech, acts as a means of communication between the Government and its people. We hear of war news, good and bad: we know if we arc losing or winning: whereas the people of the Axis have been deprived of most newspapers, and those left bring only the news their Fuehrer wants them to know. As a result of free expression, the wisest and greatest men have been able to assemble at conventions, discuss governmental policies, petition the Government, and draw up famous documents such as the Declaration of Independence, which declared the Americans free from the tyrannical rule of Great Britain, and the Constitution by which we. the people of America, live. We Americans have a Government of the people, by the people, and for the people: whereas, in Germany. Italy, and Japan, none of these freedoms arc enjoyed not even to the least extent. The latter nations have a government of a man. by that man. and for that same man. We must fight to preserve the freedom of speech so that democracy will continue to live and serve the people of free America. The two new freedoms, freedom from want and from fear, which are to be added to our list arc concerned rather with the facts of our lives than the thoughts of our minds. We have not in the past enjoyed them to the fullest extent, but we arc fighting today to make them become more of a reality. Our soldiers are fighting on the battlefronts and we are fighting at home. The first of these is the freedom from want or poverty. To have freedom from want means that every person, regardless of his creed, may be sufficiently supplied with the necessities Page Fifty-two of food, clothing, and shelter. Although America is today the richest country in the world, there arc still among us some who suffer from want. Many families eat one meal not knowing where the next will come from. Many of them obtain food from the alleys where old food is thrown. They do not have jobs which will adequately support them. Attempts have been made to advance this freedom. The President recently issued an executive order barring discrimination in defense plants on account of race, color, or creed. On March I. of this year, the point ration system went into effect, and prior to this the rationing of sugar, gas. and coffee. We have adopted the rationing system so that food and other supplies will be equally distributed to prevent hoarding and to keep one person from having more than his part, no matter how important he may be or how much money he may have. Although we do have some want in America, we still do not fare as tough as those who live under Hitlerism. They are afraid to use their own produce. Many beg while the armies get most of the food and grow in strength. We can further advance the freedom from want if we cooperate with one another. We must find useful jobs. We must share or exchange fairly the things we produce for the things produced by others. Freedom from want must be fully achieved before we can have freedom from fear, a goal worth winning for the whole world: and with your help and mine we will achieve it. no matter how long it takes. In America’s younger days, we suffered the fears of lynching, race riots, and unjust actions on the part of the Government. As America has grown, her people have become more civilized and united, so that these fears have diminished because now we seldom hear of such actions occurring in the United States. One fear which all countries have had to face has recently flared up again. This is the constant war instigated by such treacherous powers as Germany and Japan. In the past, dictators, such as Charles the Fifth. Louis the Fourteenth, and Napoleon, have tried in vain- to conquer the whole world. This Imperial Unification is now being tried, again in vain, by Hitler and Tojo. Many statesmen have said that in order to be free from fear, there must be a United Nations of the World, so that when a nation tries to exercise world domain, we should have the power to stop it. to prevent the horror of death and destruction that war brings. In comparing our freedom from fears with those of a Nazi state, we have much to be thankful for. We do not fear to listen to our radios or read our newspapers. We do not fear to try to obtain a higher social standing. We take these freedoms for granted, but to a person of a subjugated country, they are precious rights strongly coveted. A person tortured with fears has lost both the privilege of free speech and the strength to supply himself with his needs. He fears to stand up and demand his rights. He fears the severe punishment he will receive if he does so. When the Nazis lie down at night, they do not know whether they will arise the next morning. If we do not preserve this freedom in our own land, the same may happen to us. To do so. many of us must sacrifice our lives, because an unmerciful man like Hitler wants to rule the whole world by the law of fear. Is not the freedom from fear worth fighting for? Do you accept the challenge to help preserve the freedom from want, the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion? With all our hearts we answer. Yes— First, because our forefathers originated them, fought for them, and handed them down to be preserved from century to century. Second, so that we. the people of today, may live out the rest of our lives in peace. Third, that democracy, the thing necessary for the preservation of Americanism, may survive the confusion of the present conflict. And last, to preserve them for future generations, so that the world may become an increasingly better place in which to live. —Gordon Moore, 4 3.
