DEDICATION With the passing of years Laurens County has experienced various changes in her economic life. The once productive cotton crops have given way to a more diversified agriculture, machinery has largely replaced the horse and plow, and new industries dot the countryside. In going from the old to the new the people of Laurens have accepted the challenge to build a strong- er community and at the same time to guard the traditions of the past. It is to this heroic spirit that we dedi- cate Our Town, the 1958 volume of the Henry Laurens. Page Five Unveiling the Confederate Monument, Sep- tember 28, 1910—from the south side of the Square.

The first was a frame building used as a church, courthouse, and schoolhouse. The second was of brick. The present one is a large and imposing structure of cement and granite in the center of the public square. It is of both the Corinthian and Ionic style of architecture, begun in 1835 and completed in 1840. The Post Office, of Ionic architecture, was built in 1913. In 1936 the City Hall was erected. The Laurens County Library was built in 1940 through the funds of the P.W.A. and donations of interested people throughout the county. Laurens is well supplied with health facilities. The Laurens County Hos- pital was built in 1936 and an addition was made in 1945. A modern Health Department was built on Church Street in 1951. The city of Laurens has always stood for a progressive municipal ad- ministration and is governed by a mayor and council members. Liwtt c. Moser - hm.l.s. USOTCMS, S.C.

Math, Distributive Education Page Thirteen Page Fifteen � Lutheran Church of Atonement l Second Baptist Church THE SPIRIT OF OUR TOWN Laurens is fortunate in the matter of religious culture and facilities. There are twenty-six active churches, both white and colored, of all denom- inations except Catholic and Jewish. These churches, well supported for the most part, have modern and comfortable buildings and equipment. The first church building in Laurens was the old stone church built by the Seceders around 1830. It was located on East Main Street, its ruins stand- ing as late as 1890. The present building of the First Baptist Church was constructed in 1893. In 1958 a new auditorium, an addition to the First Baptist Church, was com- pleted. The First Presbyterian Church was built in 1891; the First Methodist Church, in 1895; the Episcopal, in 1851. The Lutheran Church was built in 1950; the Second Baptist Church, on the corner of Cedar and Fleming Streets, was built in 1948. Checking the daily magazine sales. Admiring class rings.

It was a day to be remembered. A new baby was being born, to go down in history as the Class of 1958 of Laurens High School. This baby was destined to reach maturity within twelve years, and this maturity was to be formally ac- cepted in graduation exercises on May 29, 1958. During intervening years, its members were to be completely sold on the fact that it was the best class that ever trod the halls of Laurens High School. This opinion is so deeply embedded in the minds of the class that the most any future class can hope to attain is second best. A chronological statement of events would be dull; therefore, reference is being made here to some of the outstanding happenings of the twelve year period. In the grammar school era one thing we could never forget was the epidemic combination of mumps- measles—chicken-pox—whooping cough that hit many of us. With so many front teeth missing about that time, the gates were, so to speak, wide open for the germs to travel, and they afflicted nearly everyone. Things that now seem commonplace were big occurrences in our lives. A search for autumn leaves or a Christmas parade was eagerly awaited, and an appearance in a chapel play was a world-shaking event. Gradually we grew from the drawing and coloring of the first grade to the broader curriculum of the seventh. In climbing this ladder we established something of a record for having pupils sent out of the room. This caused some teachers to anticipate our promotion with apprehension. Strangely enough, these same teachers sent us on the following year with regret. A senior privilege—the front seats at Modeling those new jackets. College day for the seniors. assembly. Coke timel Cramming for exams. Class officers—a busy crew. As high school freshmen we moved into the new building on the Princeton Road. It was a joy to have no steps to climb between classes. This year ended in tragedy when a group who had been picnicking to celebrate promotion was involved in a serious automobile accident. Death came to Patsy Lanford and Edna Callahan, in whose memory a plaque has been erected in the library. We can never forget the terrific impact of Latin, physics, trig, and chemistry as we progressed through high school. Man works from sun to sun, but our homework was never done. It is our modest opinion that the Junior-Senior put on by our class was one of the most outstanding in the history of the school. The Southern Ball at Rosemont will always be one of our fondest memories. The junior play, Turn Back the Clock, drew one of the largest crowds ever to see a class play in Laurens and even rated an editorial of praise in the Laurens Advertiser. A questionable distinction is that of being the first class denied the privilege of going to Washington un- der school sponsorship. However the disappointment of not seeing the nation's capital was tempered to some de- gree by the fact that out of the money previously set aside for the trip we could pay the many expenses occas- ioned by graduation. And now as that long awaited day of graduation approaches, we cannot take leave without acknow- ledging the debt of gratitude we owe to our school and to our teachers. To many of us the education that we have received here will be our only assets for beginning life. Just now our experiences in facing the new life are too limited to know how well prepared we are, but with such ideals as we have been taught in Laurens High School we are confident that we can build successful and worthwhile lives. -PATSY HUNT Term papers—enough said! Choosing calling cards. College—next step. IN MEMORIAM PATRICIA ANN LANFORD May 12, 1940-June 3, 1955 To Live in the Hearts of Those We Leave Behind Is Not to Die.

Page Forty-One Kiwanis Chamber of Commerce Off-� Jaycees THE HEART OF OUR TOWN For many years the Chamber of Commerce, with offices on the second floor of the Enterprise Bank build- ing, and the Laurens Civic League were the major or- ganizations promoting the growth and development of Laurens. Today there are numerous clubs—all dedicated to that same purpose but distinguished by some special service to the community. Prominent among these clubs are Kiwanis, Lions, Jaycees, Rotary, Council of Garden Clubs, Business and Professional Women, and Parent Teachers Association. LAUnCHt.

The purpose of the Laurens High School Student Council is not to govern or to make rules but to set the proper example before other students. One of its projects is to select a Student of the Month for each grading period. This student is selected on the basis of scholarship, attitude toward teachers and other students, and participation in school activities. Another project of the council is that of the homeroom contributions of food baskets for needy families at Christmas time.

In recent years the trend has accelerated to poultry, cattle, and dairy products. Now the cotton production is less than 20,000 bales, but there is a poultry dressing plant in Laurens which handles over 250,000 broilers annually. There are twenty-eight dairies with twelve to one-hundred- fifty cows in their herds; there- are over 100 herds of Herefords, Angus, and quality beef cattle. The peach production in normal years is in excess of 600,000 bushels. All of these factors have made a more stable and pro- gressive agriculture for the country. cxwi C. looser - rcs.l.s LAURENS , 8.C- Ann Pamela Cunningham (Anita McCartney: Editor of Tiger Life, Miss Hi Miss), a native of Laurens County, undertook the stupendous task of having Mount Vernon, Washington's home, re- stored. She accomplished this through the forming of the Ladies Mount Vernon Association of the Union. Hillary Herbert (Bland Roper: Vice-President of Senior Class, Business Manager of Tiger Life, King Teen), secretary of the navy, was born in Laurens and attended Laurens Male Academy before the Civil War. He served as colonel in the Confederate Army and was later a member of President Cleve- land's Cabinet. Page Sixty-Four Dicey Langston (Dottie Gray: Editor of Henry Laurens, Head Majorette) is the Revolutionary War heroine of whom South Carolina and Laurens are so proud. Through her unselfish devotion to her country she exemplified the type of woman- hood that has made the nation great. Colonel William Simpson (Colin Harley: Presi- dent of Student Council, National Merit Finalist) was another Laurens citizen who performed out- standing service to his state. He served in the Con- federate Congress as lieutenant-governor and from 1879 to 1880 was governor of South Carolina. Page Sixty-Five Franklin Elmore (Jerry Pitts: President of French Club, National Merit Finalist), a native of Laurens County, was an active leader in governmental af- fairs during the 1800's. A graduate of South Car- olina College, he had a brilliant career in Con- gress where he succeeded Calhoun as U. S. Sena- tor from South Carolina. Kate Wofford (Patsy Hunt: Treasurer of Senior Class, 1957 Homecoming Queen) of Laurens was prominent in promoting education in South Caro- lina. She had the honor of being the first woman in the state to hold the offices of county superin- tendent of education and later president of the South Carolina Education Association. Page Sixty-Six Will Lou Gray (Edna Senn: D.A.R. Best Citizen), born in Laurens, has been instrumental in checking illiteracy among adults in South Carolina. A grad- uate of Columbia College, she has, through the founding in 1921 of the Opportunity School for adult education, devoted her life to serving man- kind. Beaufort Taylor Watts (Buddy Brown: President of Senior Class), a celebrated Laurens native, was among the pupils at the first Cross Hill school. He was for many years prior to the Civil War in the diplomatic service of the United States. At one time Mr. Watts Was Secretary of Legation at Bolivia.

Page Seventy Powder Puff-Bowl Town Clowns With the date of the Powder Puff Bowl draw- ing near members of the senior squad learned the first and most important fact about the game as their coaches explain, This, ladies, is a football. Next came the long hard weeks of practice which resulted in stiff bones, aching backs, and broken friendships. This complicated play, a senior original, is surely destined to be a win- ner. The two powerhouses of the Powder Puff Conference clashed on December 5 in a game unequaled in the history of football. The night was made complete with the organized (?) cheering led by these talented and beautiful creatures. After a rough and exciting game, the sen- iors emerged victorious. Following the triumph, our trusty photographer snapped this picture of the mighty senior team before it was rushed by a horde of newspapermen, college scouts, and the junior eleven! H. M. S. Pinafore CURTAIN GOING UP Sara Jean Harris, student director, gives final instructions to the principal characters in the Glee Club's production of H.M.S. Pinafore, as Mr. Windolf and the stage crew look on. The action takes place on the quarterdeck of H.M.S. Pinafore, an English ship commanded by Cap- tain Corcoran. Ralph Rackstraw, a common sailor, falls in love with the captain's daughter, Josephine. The plot takes an inevitable twist when Sir Joseph Porter, who also seeks the hand of Josephine, visits the Pinafore. The intended elopement of the young lovers is revealed to the captain by Dick Deadeye, and Ralph is led to the dungeon. Soon Buttercup, a peddler woman, arrives on the scene, and the operetta ends on a happy note as she reveals that Ralph is really the captain and the captain is really Ralph. Junior Class Play Turn Back the Clock By Marrijane and Joseph Hayes Directed by Miss Ruth Riddle March 8, 1957 The curtain opens and we meet the Palmers, a typical family of the roaring 20's. Mr. Palmer (Colin Harley) demands a section of the Sunday paper other than the obituary page. Absorbed in the newsy sections are Larry (Buddy Brown), a col- lege man, Mrs. Palmer (Anita Soltis), Evie (Dottie Gray), a high school senior and the modern mother of the prologue, and Sally (Patsy Hunt), a money minded fourteen year old. The plot develops as a rivalry between two of Evie's beaus,Charlie Hill (Bobby Hill) and Johnnie Stone (Jimmy Brownlee), takes on speed. The climax comes at Evie's birthday party, crashed by Charlie and Phyllis McSorley (Rosalind Dendy), the clinging vine type. Larry has a crush on May- belle Harrison (Jackie Day), a flapper. Here the group participates in a deadly word association game. Having a ball at the party are Freddie Hall (Henry Lee) and Barbara Bannister (Gwendolyn Thomason), as Barbara's fifteen year old brother Ollie (Robert Teague) finally warms up to Sally Palmer. Although Irene Isherwood (Carolyn Hud- gens) has a crush on Larry Palmer, she finds that Slim Bascombe (Bland Roper) is a fine dancing partner. As Hilda (Nancy Thornhill), the Palmer's care- free maid, answers the telephone, the astonished Mr. and Mrs. Palmer witness a struggle between the two jealous beaus. However tragic a picture this scene may portray, the problems are finally ironed out and everyone enjoys a happy ending. Senior Class Play Maxine and Colin as Annie and Frank Butler enter into a shooting match when Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show arrives at the Wilson House. Little Jake, Jessie and Minnie listen to a story by Annie as the troupe travels in a pullman railway car. Annie Get Your Gun, a play without music, based on the book by Dorothy and Herbert Fields and directed by Miss Ruth Riddle, was presented April 4, 1958. The play, a most ambitious project, em- ployed every member of the senior class. Charlie Davenport briefs the Cowgirls, Cowboys and Indians on drawing busi- ness for the Wild West Show. Pawnee Bill's troupe entertains at a garden party in honor of Buffalo Bill's outfit just returned from Europe by way of cattle boat. With the background of guests at Rosemont, the floorshow for Junior-Senior takes place: _ . Junior- In recent years there have been innumerable dances and balls reflecting the charm of the Old South; but it is not likely that any of them had such a romantic and authentic setting as our Ball at Rosemont. Through the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Easterby, a miniature replica of Rosemont, the ancestral home of Ann Pamela Cunningham, in Laurens County, was used as the central decora- tion and background for a memorable evening at Junior-Senior. Mary Ann, Bland, and Carolyn carry on the tradition of exchanging autographs. Senior Dance Roman Banquet The historical period taken as a background of the Roman banquet was 46 B.C. Leon Patterson as Julius Caesar presided over the celebration which assembled the notables of that age. The principal feature of the evening was a play Between Jest and Earnest, written by Dr. Donnis Martin and presented by the second year Latin students. The beautiful occasion was a fitting climax to the teaching of Miss Sara Babb, who organized the Junior Classical League and who retired from the teaching profession last May. Laurens has a variety of recreational facilities for people of any ' interest. There are two theaters, two parks, and three playgrounds. At Lakeside Country Club, golf and swimming are available. Various parts of the surrounding area afford fishing and hunting. Boating and other water sports are enjoyed at Lake Greenwood, twenty miles south of Laurens. _____.

There are forty plants in the city employ- ing approximately 6,113 persons. In 1895 the town took a big step forward to build the Laurens Cotton Mill. The Watts Mill (J. P. Stevens Co.) was built in 1906. The Laurens Glass Works is one of the few industries of its kind in the Southern states. Other plants in the city, employing fifty or more people, are the Palmetto Worsted Mill, Laurens Shirt Corporation, Laurens Hosiery Com- pany, and Woonsocket Worsted Company. In 1957 two new industries announced plans for locating in Laurens— the L-O-F Glass Fibres and the Graham Manufacturing Company. urn c. looser - nci.l.s LAURCNS, S.C.
