THE FLORENTINE Nineteen Hundred and Eighteen Volume One PUBLISHED BY SENIOR CLASS OF FLORENCE HIGH SCHOOL Jfnrrnmrft The editors present in this volume the first Florentine and ask its readers to join with them and with the Florence Schools in the pardonable pride they have in the story that it tells. We claim no great skill in the art of compilation hut we confess that in compiling this record we have found an excellent incentive that has aroused a genuine interest in ami an earnest enthusiasm for still greater efforts in the years that are yet to come. So, we present herein a report of what wo have been doing and trust that our friends may read from the whole some evidence of progress and merit and join with us in greater efforts to make the story of the future, when ’tis told, even better. D pdf rattan To our former teachers, Capt. T. L. Alexander. Sergeant H. M. Painter, Mr. Hoyt Watson, Mr. C. Moseley Oliver, Mr. J. J. McFall and Mr. H. H. Jeter, and the many former students of die Florence High School who, firm in the belief that “Right is more precious than peace,” have patriotically joined the colors and are doing, not their “bit” but their best in the great army that is fighting to “make the world safe for democracy,” this volume is affectionately dedicated.

Music Supervisor I he Horence school system was organized under special act of the legislature in 1883. There were then only small wooden buildings in use and a few pupils from the small village. In 1891 the demand for a comfortable building became imperative. To meet the community growth the board erected the first hrick building on Cheeves street. Ibis was used exclusively for all grades until 1908. The growth of the city had been rapid and the handsome Central School on Dargan street was one result of that growth. It was thought that this building would meet the demands of the schools for years. The Central School, however, became crowded before it had been occupied one year. To relieve the congestion the High School was taken back to the old building on Cheeves street. This building is still used as a High School building. ' In recent years it has been remodeled considerably and will be used until the modern building is erected. The growth of the school since 1910 has been very rapid, as has been the growth of our city. The School Board, to meet the pressing demands of progress, built the handsome Park Grammar School in 1916. It has been used during the last two sessions. The three buildings have made it possible to avoid congestion during the last two years. However, the continued growth has about reached the capacity of the buildings. Now all classrooms are in use; further growth will in the very near future demand more buildings and equipment. In 1910 the enrollment of the High School was 81. Now it is 263. This is an increase of 234 per cent. In 1910 the enrollment of the City Schools was 1,019. Now it is 2.786. This is an increase of 162 per cent. In 1910 there were employed in the white schools seventeen teachers, while now there are forty regularly at work. Th High School in 1910 had an enrollment of 81. had a three years course, and was given an official credit of 9.6 standard units by the State Department of Education. Now we have an enrollment of 263, a full four-year course, and is given a credit of twenty standard units by the State Department. During the last six years each class has been awarded the State High School diplomas by the State Board of Education. The School Board has built during this session a building for domestic science and manual training. The equipment will soon be installed and next session there will be offered full courses in the vocational subjects. The Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools has regularly placed the school upon the accredited list of the association. This enables the gad-uates to enter the colleges of the South without further examination. THE HIGH SCH001 THE CENTRAL GRAMMAR SCHOOL Teachers k. IL Schoenberg Principal; Miss Dorothy vcry, Mrs. R.

SENIOR POEM Oh. years of the past, you arc none; Like ghosts you have glided a wav; And the light that was yours has jaded As the light of yesterday. You have faded and fled and left us, O t r the hills of time you are gone, And the joys that were yours have departed Like the sound of a summer song. The hours we so thoughtlessly wasted, Could wc but live over again. How earnestly we would endeavor To make them count for gain. Out teachers have patiently taught us. And sought in our minds to instill Great thoughts, high and noble ambitions. If orthy destiny to fulfill. Many times ue've rebelled against them, Oitcn caused much sorrow of heart. Their efforts to train. ours to evade it. Brought failure on our part. But we were not wholly lacking In appreciation and love; And in our childish fashion H e sought our time to improve. And now, with deepest reverence II e think of them, one by one, II e thank them, we honor and love them tor the things that they have done. Comrades, our school days are over, II e ll dream of the long, happy hours. And many a path that seemed thorny If ill seem a path strewn with flowers. Classmates, we've toiled together. The parting hour is here. Let each one go with a song on his lips And a heart to do and dare. 7 he old school bell was our summons; Another peals loud and clear. The calf to men and women Our share of the world's work to hear. May each of us always endeavor To stand for the right, and try To make our life tell for true manhood.

Member Climbing Club. Member Block F. Club. Flora is one of our class for whom we predict a very bright future. Though small of stature, her mental capacities in the class room reach a surprising height. Nor is she simply a student, for we find her much interested in outdoor activities, especially in basket-ball. She has ever been a leader among her fellows, tho’ true to the saying that “they who govern most, make least noise. ALSTON WILCOX BLOUNT “Back of lho.se eyes there lies a greal deal of mischief.” “A. B.” “Buck.” President Senior Class, 4. Business Manager, The Florentine. Secretary Literary Society, 2. Foot Ball Team, 4, 3, 2, 1. Captain, 3. Base Ball Team, 4, 3, 2, 1. Captain, 2. Member Track Team. Alston W. Blount, or “A. B.” as he is called by all his friends and acquaintances, has carved a name for himself in the hearts of all that know him. From the time of entering High School Alston has been the mainstay of all athletics. As Fullback and Captain of the ictorious Jackets” in 16, Blount earned the title of “one of .the best High School Backs in the South.” Being called his friend is getting into the select class. Besides his ability as an athlete, Buck pos-cesses the mysterious power of “standing in with the teachers. As an English teacher once said. “His innocent face would get him a seat in Heaven. But “ ’tis a wise father that knoweth his own son.” J ' I ( Here is the enclyclopedia of the class. He is able to furnish information on any subject. James is very much in love, and it is with the greatest effort that he is able to keep bis eyes from wandering to the back of the room. He has attended school faithfully, although under very great disadvantages, and he deserves extra credit for reaching the goal—graduation. If we may judge him by his steadiness during the High School course, we may justly predict a successful career for him. JAMES FREDERICK BRUNSON “Of honest worth, truly one on whom ive can all depend Foot-ball team 3. Chivalrous to the ladies, a jolly figure among the boys, no wonder Fred is one of our favorites. His sunny disposition and his love of fun have brightened many otherwise tedious hours for us. He is a man of business, and already has begun to take bis place in business life. Fred has been with us now for about seven years, and we send him out into the world with our very best wishes for bis future. JOAN KATHLEEN BRUNSON There is none like her, none— Nor will he when our summons have deceased.” Member of the Country Club. Joan joined us in the third year High School, and since that time she has shared in our pleasures and troubles alike. She endears herself to us thru her gentleness and unfailing generosity of spirit. Joan is always the same girl, whether it rains or shines. Her smiling countenance and easy manners have won for her the highest esteem of all those who know her. She never gets excited or does anything rash. She has always been a studious. sober scholar. The prediction that she will make life an overwhelming success is safe. SARA LOUISE BRUNSON “Valuable articles are put up in small packages.” Sub. Backet Ball 1’eam T7. Mgr. Basket Ball Team T7-’18. Member Ignuts Club. Member Climbing Club. Pres. Jaw Workers. Member Block “F” Club. If this were not true of Sara, then we would not have said it. We do not deny that she is small, neither does she, but she makes up for it in faithfulness, friendliness, and sincerity. Nobody can ever say that Sara has failed them in her friendship. And no one can help but be faithful to her. for her truthfulness demands just that much in return. We know that with her sweetness and attractive personality she will succeed in securing anything she wishes. MAMIE THRESAANN CLEMENTS “Oh, what may she within her hide?' Member of the Country Club. Mamie is a sweet, good-natured girl, very quiet in her manner. Although she has been with us thru most of our school years, she has never mingled very much, so only her closest friends know anything of her personality. However, we all wish for her a successful future. JOHN JAMES CLEMMONS Our various cares in one great point combine, The business oj our lives, that is—to dine.” Second Lieut. A Company. Baseball—4-3-2-1. Captain 4. President Student Body 3-4. Yes. we have always found him to be very true to that easy-going class of humanity that takes life as it comes, without a care. His spare time is taken up with athletics and eating. mostly eating. He has the distinction of being the only fellow in “Hi” who can chew “Climax,” smoke a cigar, and eat candy, all at the same time. What passes thru bis mind at these times if anything passes—cannot be read from his countenance, which bears an expression of supreme contentment. iZl'Coxe.tittsui' i Here the friendly face of “Minnie Lee” greets us. 1 his student joined the class several years ago and has remained with it ever since, faithful to her lessons and faithful to her school. Minnie Lee has ever been quiet and unobtrusive and has never been known to say unkind things about anyone. Her future aspirations are to attend the Greenville College and, upon her graduation, to become a teacher. Since she has been with us only this year, we are not so familiar with her past as with that of some other of our classmates. However. we know that she spent part of one year at Chicora, which accounts, perhaps, for her good recitations in Geometry and Latin. WARNETA DAMON After all, there is joy in all, however serious we may be.” Favorite expression: “Ask me. Her weakness: Chewifig gum. Warneta was imported from Charleston some years ago and since then has won many friends, among both boys and girls. She occupies a very bright spot in 11A room, and is always ready to laugh at a joke, then quickly to change into a very serious attitude as “Fes-sor ’ walks in. Warneta is very fond of Latin, her reference books, papers, etc., would fill a library. If you glance at her report you would also see quite a few good marks. Her character rings true and she is a friend in every sense of the word. She leaves the F. H. S. with the very best wishes of her classmates. CLAUDIA MURRAY EDWARDS “Happy am I, from care am I free, Why aren't they all contented like me?” Member Country Club. Now, let me introduce Claudia, a new pupil, but nevertheless, a good one. Claudia is “one” who believes in studying and also in being strictly honest, therefore she always knows her lessons. Winthrop is the goal of her future education, and we all feel sure that she will he as good a student at College as she has proven herself to he at Florence High. Although Claudia has not been with us long the memory of her will remain with many throughout the coming years, and it is the wish of her class-mates that she will he very successful in her future career. Jolly, good- natured Annie Lee! What a dismal world this would be without her! By her happy disposition, she brightens many of our dull hours in school. As a pal and true friend, she cannot be surpassed. When everything goes dead wrong, a few moments with her will work wonders for a troubled conscience. For some “Blloiunl” reason, Annie Lee is very fond of athletics. JAMES WILLIAM GEE “Give every man thy ear. but few thy voice.' Senior Editor. James enjoys the distinction of having more real conscience to the cubic inch than most fellows in his class. His eyes have a way of looking straight into one’s own, bespeaking his old-fashioned honesty. He is a close student and a clear thinker. Though very reserved. he has been known, on occasion, to become quite a good talker, especially if his hearers were of the fair sex. X The country school of Elim sent us a good pupil when it sent Dromgoole. Sh e is a very studious pupil and never neglects her studies for pleasure. Altho’ serious and attentive during lessons, she always has a ready smile for her classmates. She is a modest, retiring girl—her greatest ambition being to go to Lander College and then become a teacher. HANNAH A. HARRELL ‘Behind those dark eyes lies much mischief.” Basket Ball 4, 3, 2. Captain Basket Ball learn, 4. Here she comes, the happy-go-lucky girl, always smiling and happy, showing those winning dimples, for she is inclined to be a little coquettish. Hannah, the bean-pole of our class, has won many friends in her high school days, who will regret losing her. For four years she has done good work in basket ball, being our captain this year. We all wish her much of good luck as she goes out, and hope her path in life will be strewn with horseshoes all the way. 0'(btc«ttUte Some years ago the city of Charleston sent us Ruth, a pretty, good-natured girl, whose deep blue eyes bespeak the glimmering depth of her character. She is an ideal girl in every sense of the word. Her friends claim her as the I’-uest of friends. She is indeed a friend worth having. When you are blue or need sympathy go to Ruth and you will get it. She is also inclined to be smart, but her chief occupation is blushing. It has been rumored that Ruth is not patriotic, but we know that it is not that she loves America less but that she loves Holland” more. £ £ 3'(b%eitWiie ■ Drummie is seldom heard, and you would never know she was near except when she shows her knowledge in “math.” She is blessed with a bright and genial disposition, a true and honest heait, and a frank nature. She has always been a hard working student: gaining her knowledge from diligent application. And. too. I wonder how hany of us would be willing to ride nine long miles to school even as Drummie has done so faithfully? Her attendance record would shame some of us who live within two blocks of the Hi building. WILLIAM TERRELL HOLLAND “A soldier firm and stout of heart.” Foot Ball Team, 4, 3, 2, 1. Base Ball Team. 4. 3, 2, 1. Base Ball Captain, 3., Track, 2. President Literary Society, 4. Captain Company A. 4. If you are looking for a fellow to take any part in athletics go for Bill. He is always ready. He has made a “star” of himself in football and baseball. As quarterback he took an active part in winning the State Championship in football for the two seasons of 1916 and 1917. Bill is very brilliant in History and fond of describing battle, therefore we are not surprised that he has enlisted in the navy and is going to leave us soon for “His voice is still for war.” Zell lias earned his success in a seemingly simple manner—by spending half his lime in attending to his own business, and the other half in letting other people’s business alone. How well his life plan works may he easily seen by consulting the records in Mr. Brook-er’s office. That he will make good is a certainty. Constance, better known is “Connie,” hails from Columbia. She has been with us thru the.four years of High School. “Connie’s” smile and kind words have won for her great numbers of friends. She ranks among the leading members of her class and is a favorite with all her teachers. There is a tie which graduation day cannot sever; that is the love of “Connie’s” classmates for her. DAVID JAMISON JENKINS “Socrates.” “Orator.” “Jenks.” “Whence thy learning? Hath tliy toil O'er hooks consumed the midnight oil?” Debater. Member of Football Team 1916. This young man always carries a comb and a small mirrow and is continually using them. His massive forehead indicates a great deal of intelligence and he spends between three and four hours daily filling it with extra knowedge. He is a debater of noted ability, having come out victorious in all of his debates in the F. H. S. Never is he happier than when he has a page of Virgil to translate or a problem in Geometry to work. He is a hard worker and any college may he justly proud to add him to her student body. But alas! he has one fault, he spends all his money on fancy ties and loud socks. WILLIAM CLAYTON JOHNS () manners gentle, oj affection mild.” t Member of Country Club. Member of Baseball Squad. ‘‘Bill is one whose virtues are not seen at a glance, but make themselves known after association. He came here five years ago and since then has proven himself a fine companion and a hard worker. His main ambition has been to make the baseball team and this year has seen that ambition gained. Although he doesn’t like geometry, he is an ardent French student. William intends to complete his education at Furman, and we shall hear from him there. He leaves F. H. S. with the best wishes of all who know him. SUE FRANCES JOHNSTON When she had passed, it was like the ceasing oj exquisite music” Member Basket Bill Team 4-3-2-1. Member Two-lip (Tulip) Club. Member Climbing Club. .Member Block F. Club. Frances started to school at the age of six and has been with us ever since. Pretty, sweet, and lovable, she has won the hearts of all the boys and girls. She is a good athlete and was the “star forward' on the backet ball team and Florence never loses when Frances plays. So skilled is she in playing the violin, that when she takes up her instruments it gives out notes o sublime that she herself is borne as if on wings into heaven. For two year Frances has led the F. H. S. Orchestra, which has added greatly to the enjoyment of the Literary Society. Besides all these accomplishments she is also intellectual. By glancing over her repoit you will see that she led I IB. She has a place in the hearts of all her teachers, especially “Fessor,” and so you can see that she is a credit to her class. EMMA MARGUERITE LAYTON “Never worry; Do what you can, let the rest go. And smile all the while.” Basket Ball, 4, 3, and 2: Marguerite possesses all (he qualities that combine to form a delightful disposition. Life for her during her four years in “Hi-’ has not caused her a moment’s worry. Her outside time has been given to basket ball, thereby winning the favor of the faculty. She has two weaknesses though and does not deny either. “Movies are wonderful I’ll admit, but give me my “Stude and a good road and I’m in heaven.” Long has always been a puzzle to us. Little did we know what was wrapped up in that small bunch of skin. “House-Cat” has been with us since our primary days and, to tell the truth, we have found his very interesting— smart in his studies, but fond of dozing away in class. Long has always won admiration from his teachers. The fair sex has made no impression on “Skitter.” in fact his idea of misery is to meet a bunch of the feminine sex in the street. Howard has always conducted himself as a gentleman, and we predict for him a future such as will come to all who consider their duty first, last and always. HARVEY WARDMOORE MARCUS “Cicero.” But still his tongue ran on, the less of weight it bore, with greater ease.” Tall and slender, with a flash in his dark brown eyes, “Cicero” is always ready for fun. His disposition is all sunshine, his sense of humor poor, and his laugh contagious. When a youth in short trousers Harvey was never known to miss the honor roll, but with the passing of time, conditions have changed—the ladies and movies (strange to say, mostly the movies), have entered his life and (as is usually the case) study has departed. He can talk more and at the same time say less than any other member of the class. But taken all in all he is a jolly comrade and a firm friend. WILSON SCARBOROUGH iMcCALL “In words a dwarf, but in wisdom, a giant.” Secretary Literary Society 1916-18. Manager of the Base Ball Team 1917. Sergeant Major F. H. S. Battalion 1917. Editor-in-Chief t annual). Member Football Team 2-3-4. Member Two-lip (Tulip I Club. Member Midnight Crew. Member Block F. Club. To look at “Cisco ’ one would think him so quiet and innocent, but don't be deceived, for under that calm exterior lies a depth of deviltry. A nice, unparticular man, be attends to none blit bis own business, yet, “a friend in need is a friend indeed.” He has shown his ability to do anything. “Cisco” is a lady-killer from the heart, and is continually feeding the fair sex on Her-shey’s chocolates, especially during school hours. We are uncertain as to what “Cisco’s” vocation in life is, yet rumors point strong I to Law may it be acquired by the ton (Law-ton I. No one knows what the outcome may be, but whatever it be. here’s luck to you, “Cisco.” Florence High sends you forth to conquor as you can—a true and upright gentleman. FRANCES CORNELIA McCURRY. Vice President of the Literary Soc. 1917. President of the Literary Soc. 1918. Cheer Leader of Student Body 1918. 7 daughter oj the Cods, Divinely tall and most divinely jair” What more can be said—a regal form, bright, sunny countenance, light buoyancy ol step, contagious laugh, and last but not least —woman’s crowning beauty, a wealth of golden hair. “Fruie” has the happy faculty of always saying “the right thing at the right time,’' and very often her remarks contain no mean amount of wit. No one can appreciate more a joke, no one can enter into a serious undertaking with more vim and spirit than can Frank. “To know her is to love her.” Here is our jolly “little” Maude, who has come to Florence to end w'ell the education begun at Cartersville. Maude is the “good” girl of the class and is always in a good humor—except when someone touches her temper. Then woe betide the unlucky offender. When we are in trouble, whether concerning lessons or outside affairs, we know we can find sure sympathy and comfort in Maude. Although she is generally working at her books, she can he depended on to spare some of her time for her friends. She intends teaching after this year. Perhaps that is why she has put aw-ay childish habits so early. If we may judge by her marks, she will make an excellent school “ma’am.” SADIE WELLS McEACHIN Question deeply, my daughter, that thy learning may be profound.” Literary Editor. No girl has worked more faithfully for her dip than has Sadie. She carries a good supply of common sense along with her good nature and sweet disposition and we acknowledge her right among the “smart ones” of her class. I pon her, also, the gods have lie-stowed the gift of composing poetry which we all delight in reading. To her credit, be it said, she has made the four years of Hi. in three years’ time. Besides her stick-at-it-iveness, modesty and shyness are her most outstanding qualities. As 11-A knows, she laughs or cries with equal ease, her temperamentality being great. Nature has given her talent, both musical and historic. So let’s add ability to tempera-mentality and expect still greater things from her in years to come. alma McLendon “Silence is more musical than any song. This is Alma, our quiet, modest girl. She does not dream her time away, but puts it to good use. In all things Alma has ‘‘made good.” The Seniors are most fond of her because of the beauty of her character and the loveliness of her disposition. I nsel fishness, truthfulness, sincere friendship—are all combined in Alma. CHARLES BRISTOW MORRIS Never do today, what can he pul off 'till tomorrow.” Class Poet. Member Football Team 3-4. Member Debating Team. Here is Charley, who through his ability to explain his absence, comes to school when he feels like it, and at any time of the day. Charley has one of the quickest brains in the class and should be censured for not using it to better advantage. He is well known by his speeches and poems. In the spring, fishing holds his attention, and of course school is a side issue. Once he determines to do a thing (which is seldom I he does not rest until that thing is done successfully. He is liked by all who know him on account of his good nature. Gladys has the distinction of being the baby of the class, but as the saying goes, “A little child shall lead them. Because she is the baby is sufficient reason why we should love her, if not for her sweet and loveable disposition. Gladys did not join us until our third year, but she quickly won a place for herself in the hearts of her classmates. With her bright smile and charming personality, we predict for her a successful future. 1 H Jk Gladys has been with us since the beginning of our school career and is one of our most beloved members. She endears herself to us thru her gentleness and unfailing generosity of spirit. Her greatest ambition, as everyone probably knows, is to become a business lady, and some day we expect her to win a name of fame. Ambitious, cheerful, and bright, we send you forth to conquer as we know you can. IPMI Originally from New York, Simon has been with us now three years. His one ambition is to he a great singer. At present, he is tenor of the High School Quartette. Sometimes at rare intervals, when 1 1-B is awaiting the com-ing of it's next teacher, he even condescends to favor it with a solo. Some day. who knows, his name may he one to conjure with in circles musical. GERTRUDE NADINE TAYLOR “Quiet in appearance, with motives unknown.” Gertrude is one of the quiet, retiring members of our class. Although she has lived some years in South Carolina, she takes much pleasure in making known the fact, especially during History, that she hails from the “Blue Grass State.” This is little Sue, always kind and gentle. She hails from Effingham. But preferred F. H. S. for the year 1917-1918 to complete her high school course. Great has been the influence and pleasure derived from her presence in our midst. Altho always faithful to her lessons, her favorite studies have never been Latin and Geometry, but ever something less tedious. Sue has won many true friends by her winsome ways and will always be remembered by her classmates. HERBERT ALLIE TIMMONS “Slim.” “Timmie.” “I am sure care’s an enemy to life.” Football 4-3-2-1 (Captain 4th I. Baseball 4-3-2-1. First Lieutenant Co. A. Captain Co. A. Member of Two-lip (Tulip) Club. Member of Midnight Crew. Our vocabulary does not contain words of sufficient variety and exactness to enable us to give a fitting description to this blue-eved. fair-haired Saxon. His smiling, llorid countenance is the outward appearance of a sunny disposition. His ability to take things as they come and remain cool-headed is one of his most noticeable characteristics. In athletics he is always “there with the goods,” being noted for speed and long runs. “Slim” is a good student despite his putting only a moderate amount of time on his books, owing to the fact that he has an extremely soft spot in his heart for the fair sex. iite JOSEPH WILDS WALLACE, JR. “Happy.” If e grant, altlio' he had much wit, he was very shy oj using it.” J. W., or Happy, as he is more familiarly called by his friends, well deserves the name which we have given him. He spreads sunshine and happiness wherever he goes, especially among the girls, with whom he is a great favoriLe. He is noted among his classmates for his original and witty sayings, which have brightened many a dull Chemistry period. He is very popular with his teachers, and particularly with his French teacher, who adores him on account of his brilliant recitations. “Happy” has only been with us for two years, hut in this short time he has won many friends who predict for him a bright and happy future. FLORENCE KATHERINE WARREN ''Her voice ever soft, gentle ami low, an excellent thing in woman. ' Katherine, or as she's better known, “Kate,” is a quiet, sweet girl, with a big heart, always ready to do any favor for her friends. She has always been loyal to the school, especially to the class of '18. Kate appears very innocent and calm, hut she is not as much so as you might think. Her smiling countenance has brightened many dull periods. Never worrying or fretting, always cheerful and a pleasant word for every one. MARIBEL ELIZABETH W ATERS Queen rose, of the Rosebud Garden of Girls.” Class Secretary anti Treasurer. Senior Editor Annual. Backet Ball Team 4-3. Member Climbing Club. A fitting tribute to one who numbers her friends by the score. Her conservative manner and quiet speech are only the outward appearance of a character of sterling worth. But there is another side to her, the fun-loving, jovial side. Her laugh is always to be heard, for she loves to emphasize the saying, “Laugh and the world laughs with you.’’ She is the Prima Donna of the class, not at all too much to say of one who has been endowed with so delightful a voice. As a scholar, Maribel is above the ordinary, as she is strong where many others are weak. She is rich in saving common sense, and. as the greatest are, in her simplicity, sublime. ROBERT EMERSON WHITE “ ant willing to be convinced, but I'd like lo see the person that could do it.” Sergeant Major F. H. S. Battalion. “Society” White has the reputation of being able to coax higher marks out of the High School teachers than any of the other boys can coax out of books. Vi hen Robert says lie will do a thing unless he forgets it, you can count on it being done. Although not an athlete, he has the High School spirit and always works for the good of the school. Nellie is a quiet and demure maiden, a ver accomplished member of the class of 'Id. A hard worker and a diligent pupil, she has always been. Beneath the quiet exterior her friends have found a sweet, good-natured girl, who always looks on the bright side of things. She has been honored by being elected President of the Senior Country Club. SENIOR HISTORY September. 1907 was an eventful month in our young lives, for it was then that the nuclei of the class of 18 came together. About the middle of the year we moved from the old Florence Graded School to our new Central School, which seemed very large and grand, to us. Our grade was the first to occupy two sections and, of course, our teachers were very proud of us. There are many memories of these early days. I he most vivid, perhaps, are the one when Miss Simpkins shook Raymond Thorne so hard we could hear his teeth rattle, and the one when David Jenkins modestly inquired of Miss Hard, “Do you suppose that I could ever stand examinations and enter Win-throp?” Whatever are his ambitions, I am afraid he’ll never get there unless as a teacher. And now we took one mighty step and entered the ideal of our dreams—High School. It was here that we encountered that awful monster, George Rriggs. At first the sound of his deep voice saying, “Charlie, Charlie, how do you expect to pass if that is the way you recite?” we would tremble with fear, but now with T'essor as our guide through our four High School years we no longer shake, but simply smile when he utters those selfsame words, which is nearly every day. Fessor has changed from a monster to a beloved necessity to all of the eleventh grade. We have come thru to the eleventh grade—the happiest, yet the saddest year of all. This year, we are the first Seniors to occupy two rooms, these being under Miss Gill and Mr. Briggs, and are graduating the largest, and, as we think, the best of all classes. Every one of our teachers has certainly helped us with all his power to become real students, and we wish to extend our most sincere thanks and good wishes to each and every one of them. Of course Mr. Sullivan can not help throwing chalk, even if it against the rules, and Mr. Briggs just has to lecture us for fear we won’t get that diploma, for, as he says, “One half will do us no good.” Our, class which now consists of 45, has only the following who started with us: Maribel Waters, Annie I,ee Funk, Edna Mcknight, Flora Barringer, Frances Johnston, James Clemmons, Robert White, Herbert Timmons, ell Hoole, Sadie McEachin, Bill Holland, James Bradley, Janies Gee, Charlie Morris, Harvey Marcus, Howard Long and Marguerite Layton. Thus our year rolls on until we are graduated. Great things have been accomplished. Among them our first annual has been gotten out, and our boys have won State Championship honors in foot ball. Our basket ball girls too have won this year the State Championship. From here, classmates, our lives separate, but every one of us will always remember the dear days spent here in our Florence schools. Let us always remain loyal and true, as we have been to each other in the past anti always live up to our motto: “To fail is un-American.” Take of brains a full measure, Well steeped in good will; Add knowledge a plenty. Boil, simmer, distill. Mix with sunshine that dwells in the heart, Give nonsense and mirth a large part. This mixture well shaken, With moderation taken, Gives the future’s golden sheen To this great class of ’18. Jl .MOHS President................ Vice-President...........

Thelma Wilkins, Ada JUNIOR HISTORY From a bright morning in September, 1907, when a crowd of little tots assembled in the class room to commence their first year of school life, until graduated from Grammar School those first years passed swiftly away. The High School work that stretched out before us seemed a vast undertaking, as most things do to beginners. Rats have a place everywhere, and we soon found ours, after the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors expressed their opinion of us with a few glances. We had our troubles, hut Miss Florie’s encouraging smile helped very much, and she will always be remembered. Professor Briggs’ generous Latin marks also gave many a poor fellow hope. When we entered our Sophomore year we felt our importance, as all Sophomores do, and did not fail to treat the “Rats” as we had been treated. Miss Youmans was mortified at our had habits, such as eating, chewing gum, and the like. We were often called upon when our mouths were crammed with crackers, or a little more, chewing gum than was easily hidden under our tongue. But our History teacher, Miss Devlin, would give a cheering word, which was verv beneficial. Doesn't the word “Junior” sound large? It is until compared with “Senior.” As the first week of our Junior year passed. Professor Briggs’ Latin class dwindled down very much. We soon came to the conclusion that it was no use—Latin was not for us. We thought French would be easier: however, we changed our minds. Miss Gill has taught us the little we know, thru her patience and skill. All the teachers considered us a very talkative class—particularly Mr. Sullivan and Miss Porter. It is a had habit in school, and a great annoyance to teachers; hut we are able to give attention to the lessons at the same time, quite an accomplishment, that has taken us ten long years to acquire. Mr. Jeter soon solved the problem for himself—a test every Friday in Physics. Geometry is not difficult to a class that studies, and we could not he heat on our good excuses- Mrs. Meeks gives us credit for that. This is only a brief sketch of our past school life. We have had our fun, hut still we have accomplished a great deal. We expect next year, which is our last, to prove a great success. The Class of Nineteen hopes that those who follow behind them will enjoy their work and their fun as we have. When our school days are over and we go out into life, we know we shall in after years look hack on these days and sav, “They were the happiest of all.” SOPHOMORES McCurry, Oliver Jones, Robert . .

Ruth SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY It was on a memorable “September Morn” in 1916, that we began our High School career, thinking that the hard part of school was over and that the rest would he easy. We soon discovered, however, that it was not all going to he “flowery beds of ease,” for when we started in one classroom some one hailed us with, “Get out of here, your Freshmen, you are in the wrong room.” Having vainly tried to find a room unoccupied, we huddled in little groups in the hall, looking like the proverbial Freshmen. Final! Mr. Briggs, the guardian angel of the school, found us a room. For the first few weeks, the novelty of having five teachers'lasted, hut gradually wore off. Many things were learned that first year—and many more forgotten. The girls, especially when they had lunch in their hands, became very proficient in the art of dodging seniors at recess. Upon returning in September we all felt very big. for were we not Sophomores? On entering our classroom, we found a boyish looking young fellow seated at the instructor’s desk. One of the hoys, indignant at this usurpation of the instructor’s position, yelled out, “Get out of that chair, you freshie! That’s for the teacher.” imagine the amazement of the entire class when we found that “freshie” to be our teacher, instead of the anticipated grey-haired pedagogue. Some of our fellow' students of the Latin class, having found that study (of course not the dignity and sternness of the teacher) a little too much for them, changed to Science. The military company was organized this year. The hoys learned how to execute “squad right,” left face,” etc. Our class is particularly brilliant, as in its ranks are several artists destined to outrival Murillo, also several poets and writers of unusual merit (at least they think sol. Our class has not neglected its athletics, having three representatives on the football team and one on the baseball team. At present, we are looking forward to going, where all good Sophomores go, not to heaven yet—hut to the Senior class. K -m FRESHMAN HISTORY In the history of Florence High there are many memorable dates, hut to at least seventv-three of the students, September 17th. 1917. stands pre-eminent. During the months which have followed we have learned many things that were not put down in the curriculum, but which have, nevertheless, been helpful. Our hardest lesson and one which some of us have not yet mastered has been learning how to study. At the beginning of the spring term a class meeting was held and the following officers elected: Bill Cooper, President; Julia Brunson. ice-President, and Manning Brunson. Secretary and Treasurer. Our class boasts some good athletes, who may win laurels for us in football and basket ball in the years which lie before us. Our President has already demonstrated his abilitv as a business man by his efficient work as a member of the editorial staff of this, our first Annual. In Olive Morris, we have an artist of whom we are justly proud and whom we hope to keep with us till 1921. when We shall edit the Annual. We hope that when we leave Florence High we shall be known to classes which may follow us as the biggest, the strongest and the best class that she has ever sent forth. __ FRESHMEN cooper, hill ...........................................President brunson. julia ....................................Vice-President hrunson, manning..........................Secretary and Treasurer mccurry. jennie may....................................

S„ On your record shall your laurels rest; A page in history shall bear the name: “Champions of football—the team of fame.” A rousing cheer we’ll give to the class! For victory crowns the team of the Lass. Records are good, but the “spirit that's game,” We'll write on the page that bears your name. In each life there is a dual claim. To develop both is the goal of our aim; The body is but the hand of the mind; Thought patterns rivets that the material bind. If you from the world victory would wrest, Never do your “bit,” always your best; For on life’s sea the battle you'll press, Can only be won through preparedness. Commencement marks the parting of ways— I he past the light of universal rays, here knowledge the paths of all did light. I il the part marks the ways—day and night. Let every one who can follow the light, And bridge the way in a manly fight; Ambition is the first that I'ghts the way, here Vi ILL transforms the night into day. N. W. Hicks, Chairman, Florence, S.

ATHLETICS IN THE FLORENCE HIGH SCHOOL I mil llic session of 1914-1915 athletics as a distinct school interest and a fruitful field of school endeavor had been neglected. In the fall of 1914 the first football team was organized. Mr. B. Earley. “Paw,” a former University of S. C. athlete, became interested and organized during � h? session both football and baseball teams. The teams met all comers, took many defeats, but never shirked. Instead, both boys and coach worked on with an eye to the future, knowing that the day would come when consistent effort would tell the story of victory. The school welcomed heartily and thoroughly appreciated the kindly interest and aid of Mr. Early, and with the beginning of the session. 1915-16. joined with him and made the work a distinct part of the school life ant! effort. teacher was employed whose duty in the afternoon was to coach the boys’ teams. Mr. T. L. Alexander. a Citadel athlete, was the first coach appointed. The selection was a fortunate one and Mr. ■’Alex. with the kind aid of Mr. Earley, placed Florence High School athletics upon a firm basis. The teams during this session made good records and gave promise of supremacy in the future. In 1916-1917 Mr. H. M. Painter was the official coach and again had the kind aid of Mr. Early. During the session the teams reached the climax toward which they had been working for three years. The football team won handily the Pee Dee championship and then, upon invitation of the University of South Carolina, met the Champion Chester team of the Piedmont in the State Championship game upon University field. The team won decisively in the big classic and brought lo the Florence school the first State Championship. In making this record the team was not defeated during the season and made the following wonderful total score: Florence 325 Opponents 32. The baseball team, too. make an enviable record. It closed the season with the championship of the Pee Dee and with a tie with the strong Columbia High School team for the Championship of the State. In 1917-1918. under the guidance of the Xthletic Committee. Mr. R. E. Currin, Mr. J. . Ivey, and Capt. J. C. McClenaghan of the School Board, and Coach Hoyt Watson, assisted by Mr. Jeter and Mr. Early, the football team again won the highest honor. It was not defeated by a South Carolina high school team, won nicely the Pee Dee Championship from our worthy opponents in Darlington, and then, upon the invitation of the University of South Carolina again met the champion of the Piedmont on University field for the State Championship. This game was won easily from Winnsboro, before an immense crowd, by the decisive score of 40 to 0, and the team was presented the handsome Sylvan State Championship Trophy Cup. Tis the same skillful boys, in the main, that make up the baseball and track teams of this spring. Certainly these teams will have the same spirit, and may we not expect good records? In 1916 Congressman J. . Ragsdale offered a handsome silver trophy cup to be contested for annually during the Pee Dee Fair in Florence by the Darlington and Florence football teams. 'Phis game, during the last two years. 16 and 17. has in fact been the game to decide the Pee Dee Championship. Florence has defeated Darlington in both of these classics before immense crowds, and so has had continuous possession of the Ragsdale Cup since it was first offered. We shall strive most desperately to continue to be unneighborly in this matter! While the boys have been making this excellent record, the girls have not been idle. In 1915. under the guidance of Miss Gertrude Meares. our first basket ball team was organized. Since then Miss Meares has coached the girls regularly and consistently and the results show how well both coach and players have worked. The girls have met all comers, never once dodging an issue. At first, games were lost, but the team ever looked to the future and to the reward that comes to those who try. So Miss Meares and her girls have worked on from season to season, and now from the lofty heights of success look back for the first time. It must be pleasant to them, as they modestly review the splendid field of excellent achievement two years, sessions of 1916-17 and 1917-18. without a defeat an unbroken chain of well-dones. Merit will win its reward. So when the Extension Department of the I niversity of South Carolina decided to have the State Basket Ball Championship contests played under its supervision, as it had done with the football championship, girls are excellent guardians of any trust, so in the championship game on the I niversity court, they won from Clinton, the Piedmont champions. 31 to 16. and thereby added another State Championship to the record of our schools, ami placed in the archives another Sylvan cup. In the following pages the whole story is told somewhat in detail. In it we have much, very much pride. May it ever be thus—ever better.

THE TEAM THAT BEAT DARLINGTON On a crisp November day in 1917 the team above met the strong Darlington High School team in the annual contest for the Ragsdale Trophy Cup. Just as was the case in 1916, the game was to decide the Championship of the Pee Dee. and also were imbued with an enthusiasm and determination characteristic of the defenders of the State Championship honors which they held. Ere the day was spent, the immense throng which had gathered to witness the game saw our brave hoys emerge from the gruelling contest, not as new champions, but old champions, again victorious.

The pianist was notified to be present and to bring her instrument with her. I wonder if she is a Samson? ' Mr. Watson, trying to frighten his pupils into studying History, became excited and exclaimed, “Some day I'll send you to the blackboard and I won’t let you take your seats with you. One day during Geometry. Miss Nichols called upon James Clemmons, a very brilliant Senior, who was very much interested in something which was happening in the yard. “James, can a plane be passed between the two faces of a diedral angle without touching either one?” James, on being so suddenly called, glanced up. “Well—eh -I don’t know about that—but I know this—twfo faces can meet without a plane passing between them.” In 9A, after a pupil had read about three lines of Latin text. Mr. McFall asked I� uise Calais. “Are there any words there you do not understand?” “Yes sir.” she quickly answered, “All of them.” Margaret Howard could not concentrate her thoughts one day during a written Physics lesson. At last she decided to hand in her paper with these words upon it: “The Lord lovetli a cheerful giver. The following day Mr. Jeter returned the paper with this written below Margaret's inscription: “The Lord helps those that help themselves. One man said to another. “If I thought that I had a drop of German blood in me, I would cut my big toe and let it run out.” “Well.” said the other, “how do you know it would he German blood that would run out?” “Why. because it would be the blood farthest from my heart. he answered. “Mr. Sullivan,” asked Ella Jaeger of 10A, “how long did it take you to read “Les Miserables,” about a year?” “No, it took me about four days.” “Oh. I mean how long will it take common people to read it.” A BIT OF MYSTERY. 'File Porter, finding fish Cill(s). sold them for a Nickle(s). and if Mac would only Fall, and not be so Meek(s), the whole bunch could go to “Sullivan’s” Island. Mr. McFall, hearing a Latin lesson, said, “Nat, read this. Ca sar postuiavit potent as in equites.” Nat absently read. “Caesar demanded potatoes on horseback.” 11B being very much crowded for room space. Bill and Ruth were sitting together. During Chemistry Ruth was absently turning the pages, reading “headings.” Reading the one headed Sugar, Bill, who all this time had been glancing around the room, replied. “Huh, without a moment s hesitation.

The reader has not finished this Annual when he reaches this page. There is much yet in the pages that follow. They tell, in the main, a story of both service and progress. But the principal story, as we see it, is one of kindly co-operation and unselfish suport of the work we are trying to do in the schools. But for the support given us hv our advertisers, we could not have published thiu-volume. We beg for them the patronage their public spirit so richly deserves. !«!« « IF SAFE IN SOUTHEASTERN You’re on the Right Track. Go after them, Boys We’re with you. J. B.
