All sciences in their nature or connections, are replete with interest, if teachers properly illustrate and impress their truths in a pleasing, earnest manner. ' - C.

PARKER RAY F. CLARK WILLIAM W. WANNAMAKER DONALD F. DABNEY To the above group we render our sincere thanks for their continued de- votion and efforts to promote and enrich every phase of our school life at Joseph Kershaw Academy. It is heartwarming to know that we can depend upon your continued sacrifice and helping hand,” so that the Joseph Kershaw Academy will continue to progress and to fulfill the fine purposes evisioned by those who were responsible for its establishment. An rovd Nineteen sixty-nine has been a fine year for Joseph Kershaw Academy. We have grown together and shared a multitude of experiences. Our lower school students have learned what it is like to be a part of the school community, and our seniors will soon know what it is to leave those who have cared and have tried to help shape their lives. We are especially proud of the class of 1970. Not only are they JKA's first graduates, but through their daily actions here at school they have demonstrated that they are ready to deal effectively and maturely with society. All of us here at JKA wish you well. We will think of you and miss you at the start of the coming year. We count on you to represent your school with pride and dignity wherever you may be. The world is in front of you waiting to be taken - we know you can take it. Goodbye and God bless you. 12 Lower Faculty Mrs. Florence LaRoche Mrs. Nancy McGee Mrs. Edith McKain Mrs. Elva Pitsenbarger Mis.

They have taken the responsibility of the students in their own hands and have performed excellently. Among their many functions are: 1. to make sure the lower school stays our of the road and gets to their cars safely: 2. to help parents when they arrive: 3. to help student drivers leave the parking lot; 4. to eliminate speeding cars on the premises and to report offenders to the office immediately: 5. and to be available before and after school hours. They certainly deserve a great deal of credit for making this year a happy and safe one at Joseph Kershaw Academy. FIRST ROW: Secretary Zan Boykin, President John Carlton, Allison Royall, and Lou Ann Riggan. SECOND ROW: Vice-president Susie Strickland, Treasurer Robert Barnwell, Bobby McCurdy, and Pam Truesdale. Lower Student Council The Lower School of Joseph Kershaw Academy organized a Student Council in October. Following the election of officers, the group planned several projects to sponsor during the year. In February they presented a Parent-Visitation Day during which the parents had an opportunity to see each class in pro- gress. The council members also helped the Upper School Council with ice cream sales and sponsored a Teacher-Appreciation Day in the spring. These students felt that a real challenge in student govern- ment was offered to them as members of an ever- increasing student body. 21 Tom Thumb Wedding 22 Wedding of the Year ...

To enter- tain Queen of May, Susan Fre’itag, classes performed dances characteristic of many foreign countries. Students wearing bril- liantly colored costumes, surrounded by the background of natural greenery and pine trees, gave a truly festive atmosphere to the occasion. A formal dance honoring the queen and her court climaxed the day’s affair. 25 Sound of Music Broadway comes to JKA ... 'I Have Confidence ...

CHARDUKIAN Kindergarten Graduation 31 32 Golf Eddie Martin, Peter Larkin, Hank West, John Cushman, Doug DuPont. 34 The 1968-1969 golf team of Joseph Kershaw Academy was composed of five spirited players: Peter Larkin, John Cushman, Eddie Martin, Doug DuPont and Hank West. Tedi- ous practice, a willingness to play, and good sportsmanship won for them the South Carolina Independent School Associa- tion Tournament. Next year's golf team will have to work hard to maintain the impressive title won by this group. Joseph Kersliaw Academy was also represented by Eddie Martin at the First Annual Heritage Golf Classic. He caddied for golf pro Dick Hart. Next year we hope that J.K.A. will be represented by more golf enthusiasts. S.C.I.S.A. Champions 1968-1969 35 Cheerleaders This year Joseph Kershaw cheerleading squad was fortunate in having five veterans; two novices added a new dimension to the squad. Last year's uniforms were revised into attractive new outfits. In order to pay for these uniforms, the cheerleaders provided the student body and faculty with cupcakes and sandwiches. After an extensive period of practice and training, the cheer- leaders conducted a very successful pep rally. These rallies con- tinued to be a part of the pre-game activities at JKA. This boom- ing, boisterous group aroused the enthusiastic crowds which followed their team to each game. The cheerleaders have received much guidance and advice from their sponsor. Mis. Powell. For the second year, the cheer- leaders have been living inspirations of school spirit to each mem- ber of the student body.

STANDING: Katherine Marsh, Becky Hasty, Ginger Boykin, Linda Smith, Lee Horne. 36 37 Basketball The General's second foray into the world of interscholastic basketball has not been outstanding from the point of victories. However, the JKA quintet entered each game undaunted by previous defeats. Once ?gain, the Generals have been privileged to have Coach Bill Byrnes as their instructor. His capable leadership has done much to instill a desire to win in the team. Robert Marsh, elected by the team to be its leader, turned in several good perform- ances. Co-captain Bobby Parnell paced the team in point-making, scoring many nec- essary points. Peter Larkin proved to be the main playmaker along with John Cushman, who, with is graceful layups, greatly supplemented JKA's side of the scoreboard. Shorty Dougherty helped the General's outrun each opposing team with his speed and agility. Ted Parker, the still-reigning, resident giraffe, continued to gather in rebounds. Left until last because of their size, not their skill, the Marsh twins, Will and Woody, have performed very capably in their capacity as second-string guards. Eddie Eddings, a forward, and Douglas DuPont, a guard, were both present at all games, ready to play if needed. Rollie Reynolds and Charles Dorgay, first year players, developed rapidly into fine players. The Student body of Joseph Kershaw is proud of its team, which has showed true sportsmanship in each game. Needless to say, every player on the team (except the resident giraffe) hopes he grows six inches before next year. 38 39 40 Pictured from left to right: Charles Dorgay, Will Marsh, Shorty Dougherty, John Cushman, Eddie Eddings, Bobby Parnell, Ted Parker, Robert Marsh, Peter Larkin, Doug DuPont, Woody Marsh, Rollie Reynolds. 41 42 45 Becky Hasty Eleventh Grade Newton Boykin Robert Dougherty Robert Marsh Eddie Martin 46 Ginger Boykin Charles Cushman Eddie Eddings Judi Maddox 47 48 Jennifer Davis Charles Dorgay Douglas duPont Charles Grant Eighth Grade Annie Home Peter Larkin Will Marsh Woody Marsh Yvonne Parker Martha Smith Judy Truesdale Hank West 49 Seventh Grade Leslie Barfield Becky Brown Nina Catoe Anne Cushman Donna Dabney Ann Davis Julie Dillingham Mary Hager Margaret Horne Kenneth Kersey Aimee Kornegay Risa Little Tracy Marshall Betty Parnell Rollie Reynolds Libby Rhett Meg Richards Ronnie Shiver Chandra Smith Melita Team 50 Robert Barnwell Sistie Campbell John Carlton Sixth Grade Dottie Dougherty Marsha Gale Nancy Harmon Ellen Hasty Tom LaRoche Ted Marshall Raymond Price Lou Ann Riggan Susie Strickland Pam Truesdale Fifth Grade Zan Boykin Sara Brown Libby Campbell Colette Cloud Nancy Horne V.
