It is a non-fiction work, but it is already attracting considerable attention on the book counters of the country. It bids well to get into the best seller list within the first month off the press. The title of the book is, Story Of Our Times. It is a compilation of success stories covering the lives and actions of a group of boys and girls from tne time they set out on a great ad- venture of education until they find themselves docked at the port of commencement. The book is edited by Miss Sarratt, sponsor of the senior class. The book drags in spots and 'one is tempted to turn the pages rapidly, slipping lightly over parts of the story. In spots, the adventures be- come intensely interesting, A highlight of the plot comes when twenty-three boys and girls at- tempt to enter freshman land and are put in quarantine until such ti-me as the sophomore savages determine that they have been thorough- ly deloused of all their grade school symptoms. They were green freshmen, but they all man- aged to survive their first high sshool year. At the beginning of their sophomore year, some had found something more interesting to do an-d now they had only twenty anticipating victory. They found the skies much bluer and sweeter and they -began to grasp as much Wis- dom as possible, some looking ahead, longing for the new domain where the juniors ruled so royally. W-hat joy was theirs, points out the editor of the book a-nd compiler of the narrative, when a certain tribe of faculty members decreed that they should be set free, and their rights of advancement restored. At the beginning of their junior year, three had dropped behind, leaving only seventeen memibers to carry on. So-me few were forced to leave because they felt it necessary to join some branchfof the armed services, One lingers over the chapter on JUNIOR ACTIVITIES and gets Page Six a thrill in reading about the junior-senior ban- quet and the holloween carnival the boys and girls staged when they were roaming the junior ranges. This chapter is not outdone by the ban- quet staged a year later when the boys and girls as seniors find a table laden with good things for them to eat, and an evening of entertainment for them and in their honor. The reader will get a thrill out of the adven- tures of the boys and girls across senior plateau. Sunrise as viewed from the plateau on Com- mencement morn is a sight never to 'be forgot- ten either by the adventurer or the reader. This year they had only fifteen members seeking graduation, but they accomplished a great deal. You will enjoy the account of the senior play, Mammy's Lil' Wild Rose, which was a great success. The chapter covering the highlights of the year will be long remembered. In it you will notice that they were very happy to get to pub- lish the TORCH, the high school annual. It re- quired much work but was an experience that they all enjoyed. A high Point of interest is attained when the Lord of Jefferson High School real-m calls all the travelers for counsel and presents them each with a sheepskin inscribed as a diploma. Com- mencement, as recorded in the Story of Our Times, is a day of cherished memories that the seniors will never forget to their dying day. On this day, it is, that all of the inhabitants of high school land come to witness the tribal ceremonies of the adventurers. Story of Our Times, is a book worthy of its writer and editor, a book that will be reviewed and read many times -by the boys and girls whose adventures are recorded within its covers. It is a story that all high school students would profit by reading. The examples in student- ship, leadership, and sportsmanship, as shown by the characters of the book, all students would do well to imitate. 4 -Clarice Hicks, Class Historian GERALD FUNDERBURK Gerald is an all-round boy.

The time has been long And some have dropped by the Wayg For there were twenty-three who started In our class that long ago day. As we look back now We realize how fortunate We were theng There was the attack on Pearl Harbor And War where Peace had been. The war took its toll Of our young men so boldg Then came that glorious day 'When Peace came to stay. Through it all, the schools took the stand That they would carry on 'til the armies disband 5 Giving each man the right To an education interrupted by the fight. So fortunate then are We Who live in this land of the freeg For we can study and plan For the future so grand. And now as we say farewell to our school To our teachers and classmates so fine, And to all who have helped Make our journey sublime. We, the class of '46, True to the best which within us liesg Will Build the ladder By which we rise. -Carolyn Salley, Class Poet. 3 CLASS PROPHECY Ladies and Gentlemen of the Radio Audience: It is with great pleasure that we present to you chats about tomorrow's headline news. Believe it or not, folks, this evening I am going to tell you about a high school graduating class, every member of which became an out- standing personality in the news of the world. This remarkable class was graduated from Jef- ferson Hi-gh School which is located in a small town in South Carolina. No one in the town possessed the idea that even one member of the class might become ex- ceptionally famous, let alone believing that all would ascend the heights of renown. Outwardly they resembled any class of that size in the rural sections of the country. But look what they did! First, there was Robert Sullivan, the mischiev- ous youngster who was forever creating some sort of scientific device. As you well know, it was he who made it possible for you -of the radio audience to see me so clearly, though some of you are thousands of miles away. It was his hard won invention which eliminated the revolv- ing shutter in television that always caused the reproduced -pictures to be blurred. Now I know as I look into this televisor that you are seeing me just as distinctly as thou-gh you were here. Radio vision owes a great deal to .Rio-bert. I imagine there are very few of you who have ever heard -of Betty Steele, but really she is known to millions under another name, Maria De Van. Perhaps some of you sent in names in the contest twenty years ago when her stage and screen name was selected. Now she is loved everywhere as the Grand Lady of the Films by reason of her superb acting, combined with the same -beauty that characterized her from childhood on. Far, far up in the high sylzscraper of Man- hattan sits the chief executive of Faraway Broad- casting, Inc. Such stars as these he plays upon the air and inflicts upon the public Edith Jordan, famed tap dancer, who succeeded Shirley Temple, and Agnes Robertson, who gives a white faced strip while the radio audience turns black with envy. Agnes also has all the girls tell her all their troubles and prescribes spinach for their complexions. At the corner of Main and Side streets is a travel bureau, headed by Carolyn Salley. The chief clerk is Eleanor Mae Simpson. To the left of this establishment is a hot dog stand run by Viola Sullivan. Across the street is a beauty shop, and Madam Frances Robinson has charge. She is ably assisted by Clarice Hicks, who is head barber. Gerald Funderburk is the captain of the wing- less airplane which is scheduled to make a stop here on next Wednesday on its regular world touring Bight. It is said that the ship has made the world tour in a time record of 23 hours, 2 minutes, and one-half second. Who doesn't like the funnies? A new car- toonist will make his appearance in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch next Sunday. He runs a strip entitled Pink-eye, the Snail Easter. He draws pictures under the name of Jim, the Ant Killerg but in real life he is Junior Hinson. All Fools Three Rin-g Circus is coming to town next week. The show is managed by Julia Mae Holley. Ruth Miller, fancy rider, will be there with her famous horse, Whitehead. Do-ulble and S-on report a new book just off the press. It is from the pen of a well-known authoress, Leona Sullivan. She is said to have done her first writing in Jefferson High School when she wrote an examination paper that got a rejection slip. The odds of the betting are placed on the Popular Pai-ty's candidate for president. Sta- tistics and straw votes indicate he will carry the state of uproar, and state oflunrest. His name is Horton Ogburn. And now I bring this broadcast to a close with the sincere comment that of all unusual classes, this astonishing class should head the list, by reason of the weird coincidence of every one of its members achieving great fame within twenty years. -Leona Sullivan, Class Prophetess Page Fifteen LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF I946 I, a duly authorized attorney of the relular bar of seniors, have hereby, upon behalf of my client, the class of 1946, of the school of Jeffer- son, State of South Carolina, do hereby, be- queath and devise all our worldly goods and possessions to the following beneficiaries, to wit: ITEM I: We give and bequeath to our dear faculty who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken suc- cession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. Also, our heartiest gratitude and our sincere af- fection. We would also will and bequeath to them all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in -our various examination papers. We know that mu:.h which we have imparted to them in this way must have been entirely new to them and would throw mu-ch new light on many familiar lines of thought throughout the world of learning. We .authorize them to use this startling information in any way which they see fit to enlighten future educators. VVe realize it has -been a hard strain on them, for seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions diflicult to manage. But they have done their duty, and now they shall have their well earned reward. ITEM II: To you, Juniors, goes our dignity. The time has come when you must cast aside your frivolous, jolly ways and become clothed in the robes of dignity. You will no longer be jolly juniors, but dignified seniors. ITEM III: To you, Sophomores, our seats in the class rooms an-d assembly. May you en- deavor to fill them as promptly and faithfully as we have done. ITEM IV: To the .Freshman Class, we leave our patience, endurance, obedience, and willing- ness to cooperateg for to reach the goal We have attained, you will need all of these and then some. ITEM Vg The following may seem but trifl- ing bequests, but we hope they may be accepted as a continual reminder of the generosity of the class of 1946. I, Gerald Funderburk, do hereby will and be- queath my fiirtatious ways to Tommy Surratt, hoping that he will have more success with the girls than I have had. I, Julia Mae H-olley, do hereby will and be- queath my position in typing to Evie Miller, since he seems to top the class. I, Junior Hinson, do hereby will and bequeath my bottle of hair oil to Claude Demby, hoping that he will have as much use for it as I have had. Page Sixteen I, Clarice Hicks, do hereby will and bequeath my ntusical voice to Elma Sullivan, hoping that she will take my place in assembly next year. I, Edith Jordan, do hereby will and bequeath my chemistry notes to Byron Hicks, hoping that they will be as much help to him as they were to me. ' I, Ruth Miller, do hereby will and bequeath my position in basketball to anyone who has the ability to live up to it, hoping that she enjoys playing as much as I have. I, Horton Ogburn, do hereby will and bequeath my b:'s':etball suit to Frank Hendrix, hoping he wears it: in more successful games than 1, I, Agnes Robertson, do hereby will and -be- oiueath my quietncss to Nancy Giridith who needs 1 . I, Frances Robinson, do hereby will and be- queath my love for English to Bernice Pace, hoping that she. will not have to -cram at the last minute before a test as 1 have had to do. I, Carolyn Salley, do hereby will and bequeath my love for the Pageland boys to Wynona Tay- lor, hsgnce l:Nona doesn't seem to care very muc or t em. I, Eleanor Mae Simpson, do hereby will and bequeath my talking ability to Peggy Robinson, and hope for her more success in talking herself out of trouble. I, Leona Sullivan, do hereby will and bequeath my love for shorthand to Bessie Mae Rollings, hoping that she will get to start to school on time next year and be a-ble to keep up the good work. , I, Robert Sullivan, do hereby will and be- queatn my ability to think up quick excuses for not having studied my lessons to Billy Hilton. I. Viola Sullivan, do hereby' will and bequeath my gift of gab to Frances Smith, since Frances Ilr:v8l' talks.

Page Thirty HOT LUNCH WORKERS Mrs. Gerite Rollins, Mrs. Ethel Hendrix, Mrs. Mace Smith Pa-ge Thirty-One ATHLETICS In order to create better health, good sportsman- ship and fair play among the pupils of Jefferson High School, a wider variety of sports has been offered this year. There have been sports from marbles, etc., in the lower grades through baseball, volleyball, and softball in the higher grades. Holding the throne as the king of sports at Jeffer- son High has been basketball for boys and girls. Under the capable coaching of Mr. T. L. Taylor, Superinten- dent, both teams had a most successful year. The school, and supporters of the school, should be very proud that two members of the girls' team were placed on the All-Tournament Team of Chesterfield Country-Wynona Taylor, forward, and Carolyn Salley, guar . In the scheduled games and conference competition the girls' team made a name for itself as a scrappy, fighting teamg losing sometimes it's true, but like good sports that all athletes should strive toTbe. Rome was not 'built in a day nor can teams be made in a year. So let us build teams for the future on the weaknesses of the past. T. L. TAYLOR, Coach CHEERLEADERS AND MANAGER J. W.
