To the smiling faces who comprised the class of 1960, however, it was one of the most important days in the history of Laurens High School, for it was on this day that the class began its voyage upon the sea of edu- cation. Upon entering their classrooms for the first time, these snaggle-toothed, timid youngsters were warmly greeted by Miss Emmie, Mrs. Fleming, and Miss Thompson, who were to guide the class in its first year of school. A third section was added this year to accommodate the large wartime boom in popu- lation. Under the able leadership of their advisors the students were introduced to the three R's—Reading, 'Ritin and 'Rithmetic. The large number of left handers in this class found that second R especially hard, but before the year was over, they had conquered it. The desire to conquer proved to be very characteristic of this class throughout its twelve years. There are certain things that no member of the class can forget as he looks back over his grammar school days. The trips up West Main in the fall to look at A. H. Johnsey's maple trees clad in their rich autumnal colors, the joyful Christmas seasons with their parades and parties, the nerve-racking chapel programs, the picnics on the school ground, and that delightful game of cops and robbers are all woven together with the golden threads of memory. A foundation in music was provided through the school program, and many pupils in the class participated in the oper- etta Mulligan's Magic under the direction of Miss Nancy Roy- ster in their fifth year. In the sixth grade the class met those necessary friends, the eight parts of speech. A skit, written by Mrs. Collier on this very subject, was presented by her homeroom in chapel to impress upon the students the importance of these friends. A trip to the water plant at this time proved interesting to all and added a lot to the science study. At the end of the sixth year the class proudly walked across the stage to receive their certificates promoting them to junior high. They now eagerly anticipated life in junior high school and gazed with wonder at that strange world called high school which lay beyond. The first few days in junior high were very confusing. Learn- ing class schedules and changing classes were baffling prob- lems to the students who found themselves turned loose against the on-coming tide of upper classmen. It was not long, however, before the ball was rolling smoothly and the pupils felt at home in their new environment. After Christmas in the seventh grade the class moved with the high school to a new building on the Princeton Highway. The Class of '60 bears the distinction of being the first to go from the seventh through the twelfth grade in the new building. On returning to school in the eighth grade, the old students found in their midst strange faces and new characters. As the class moved steadily forward, the new merged with the old, and the class became one happy family. Having completed the eighth grade, the class was ready to begin the last stretch of its voyage. This was high school. Here the students met new problems, but the Class of '60 accepted the challenge. Some chose Latin and the classics; others, home economics; and others, industrial arts. Interests varied, but the talents were pooled to make one of the best all round classes ever to enter high school. As the class progressed, there were other pills to be swal- lowed. Chemistry, French, trig, physics, and literature really kept the students on their toes, but the class took them in stride. Interests broadened still more as the students joined various clubs. A number of pupils from this class were being recog- nized at home and in other parts of the state for outstanding abilities in leadership, scholarship, and character. The junior year saw much activity. The comedy, A Young Man's Fancy, was chosen for the class play. The cast, headed by Henry Faris, Paula Craine, and David Moorhead, were highly praised for their performance. 'South Pacific, the theme of Junior-Senior that year, was thought to be one of the pret- tiest ever given and the floor show was little short of pro- fessional. As graduation approaches, and we the Class of '60 prepare to leave Laurens High School and make our own ways in the world, we pause to pay tribute to all those who have made our education possible and who have guided us and shown us the right way. Though the future is uncertain, we feel that with a foundation built upon the standards and ideals taught to us at Laurens High, we cannot fail. Wherever we go and whatever we do, we will always remain loyal to Laurens High School and hold her memories uppermost in our hearts. Carolyn Scurry, Historian.

The Council has two groups—the executive board of class officers, and the representa- tive body of homeroom officers and club presidents. To be a member, a student must have and maintain a 'B' average. This organization sponsors the selection of 'Student of the Month daily devotions over the P.A. system, and at Christmas food baskets for needy families.

The sleeping Tigers of the Laurens football squad awakened suddenly last fall with a growl and a roar. Beginning with a period of training at Erskine College and new coaches, the team developed a spirit that it had not shown for some time. A victory in the first two games added encouragement and incentive. From the straight-T and the slot formations, the Tigers seemed to show a new style of power plays. Although the team lost its last seven games, the spirit of the team never stopped. Each game that was lost went down in the records as a hard fought game. With new spirit, new coaches and almost a new team the Tigers look forward to a new grid opening next fall. The tide has been turned and we predict waves of success next year.

Coach Griffin, who found ten to twelve good players, set up a two platoon system. The two teams played alternate quarters each game. This system proved to be very successful this first half of the season, in that it gave each team a good rest for the next period. At mid-season the tigers have recorded seven wins and two losses.
