Tammy Lee ands M Bob Powell walk the length of the mall to survey the chains. t We wrote our hands off for weeks and we knew we could win. We'd done it twice beforeg we could do it again. , Sumter High was our chief foe, but, after defeating them both times in the two- year-old spirit contest sponsored by Sumter radio station WDXY, we were hot for a three-time victory. All the chains were ex- tended through Sumter Towne Mall. Only the Gamecocks and Wildcats proved con- tenders for the race. Anxious cheerleaders from both schools raced up and down the Mall, stretching the limitless links, fran- tically glueing and taping a few links that had, un- fortunately, come undone. The winner was to be an- nounced at 10 a.m. However, a dispute arose over the size of the links of the individual chains. WDXY Operations Director Bob Powell announced the contest judges could not determine a winner. Extended now for two more weeks, competitors had to write the name of the school's mascot on 3 x 5 paper. The prize money was increased to 5150. Shouts for and against the decision poured forth. Disap- pointment was readily vis- ible on the faces of the cheerleaders and other sup- porters who had worked so hard on the chains. Spirits revived quickly, however, and the entire school began the second WDXY Spirit Contest. Pencils ready, study hall students, office workers and others in their free time tested their endurance to bear writer's cramp. When the winner was an- nounced finally at 3 a.m. on Oct. 1 we were all a little dazed when our dreams of ' another win were shatter- ed. We had lost to Sumter 371,373 V0teS to 288,757.

I wonder if time flew and vast changes were noticed by re- turning alumni to the Gold- en Anniversary celebra- tion. Alice Horton discovered that we were approaching our fiftieth year when she looked through some old rec- ords. Leaping vigorously into the project, she served as committee chair- man, and her staff spent months of hard work in preparation for the event. ,.-va qs. v iqrf ' . ki ' xv r V Q Q ,,,,.: ', a f - aa it ifgrfv A, as .
