THE FLORENTINE Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen Volume Two Published Bvj Pupils ol tke Florence Higk Sckool. FOREWORD i . ..hiuhino- this the second volume of The Florentine, the Editors have attempted 1 to “carry on” the work so well begun in 1918 by the editors of the first volume. We have attempted to record here something of our work, our joys; to put in tangible form some record of the last year of our happy school days—a record to which we can recur with joy in the years yet unborn and then live again with our teachers, with our school-mates, through memories refreshed, the happy school days of yore. So we present to our readers the Story oj 1919 and beg them share with us the joy and pride we have in it. and we trust there may be developed through it a greater interest and co-operation that will make the Story of the Future, when 'tis told, even better. To Miss Florence M. McKenzie, in recognition of her long and unselfish service in the interest of us and our school and as a testimonial of our appreciation and devotion, this volume is affectionately dedicated.

L. cl RRIN MISS TRIX BARBOR Primary Supervisor W. L. BROOKER Superintendent Schools MRS. J. L. WYSONG Music Supervisor The Florence school system has continued to grow from year to year steadily, as has been the growth of our city. The white schools now occupy three large buildings. The Central Grammar School was completed in 1908. It was thought that this building would provide sufficient room for the schools for years. When it was completed, however, it was filled by the pupils then enrolled. The old building was remodeled and used as a high school building. By 1912 the two buildings were no longer adequate. To meet the increased demands for room the Park Grammar School was built in ward two. This was occupied in the fall of 1916. This building relieved the congestion that had existed for several years in the other schools. Since then the old high school building has been further remodeled and made more comfortable. The Board of Commissioners, too, have built rooms for Domestic Science and Art and for Manual Training. These courses were added to the curriculum for the 1918-1919 session. The School Board now finds all class-rooms filled and again no further room for expansion. For years the demand for a high school building has been imperative. During the war it was not possible to build. Now the Board realizing the need of more room has decided to ask for an issue of bonds for building a modern high school building. This will not only enable the high school to do better work through a more modern organization and equipment, but at the same time will enable the board to provide the needed room to meet the constant growth of the schools. The schools in organization and development have constantly kept in mind the progressive trend of education and have kept step with the progress of the times. The schools participate in all forms of school endeavor and the records made have been creditable in every way. The schools have been regularly rated “Class A by the State Department of Education. State High School Diplomas have been awarded our graduates for seven years by the State tloard of Education. The School has been placed upon every accredited list published by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. This rating enables every graduate of the school to enter any college or university in the thirteen Southern States without examination. Each member of the graduating classes during the last six years has been awarded a teacher's certificate by the County Board of Education upon record made in the County Teachers Examination. The schools have joined every movement for the winning of the war. The pupils have been organized for the sale of liberty bonds, saving and thrift stamps, the support of the children of Belgium and France, the work of the Junior Bed Cross, and in fact no line of war work has been neglected. During this session the pupils of the schools have adopted 37 French orphans whom they are supporting through their contributions. This work will be continued as long as it is possible to aid in the war activities. When it is over the pupils will be better prepared for more intensive work because of the inspiration and interest aroused through their growth in patriotism and the knowledge that their efforts are needed in all great crises and through the consciousness of duty well done.

Sadness and joy steals through each heart; For commencement means that we must party And on this day with many a sigh We bid adieu to Florence High. In joy or sorrow, woe or weal. We must remember “Sans Pareil” With loyal hearts to days of old, And to our colors Hack and Gold. Eleven years we've worked and played, And oft our studies we've delayed. Our teachers we have sorely tried, And would not by their rules abide. Hut thinking of each in the soft twilight If c realize that they were right Although we have vexed them in every nay If e love and cherish them more each day. So here's to the band of old nineteen, May she e'er be wrapped in a golden sheen. And when called into life's great fight Bear her share in all that's right. And class, here's health and wealth to you, May all your life be glad and true. And in your thoughts of days gone by Remember always Florence High. —Grace Hicks. Annie is one of the retiring members of our class; good natured, obliging and ever ready to stand by a friend. Although faithful to her lessons, her favorite study has never been Geometry, hut something less tedious. She leaves F. H. S. with the very best wishes of her class-mates. I------------------------------------------------- VI7S Louise is naturally little, but she is full of life. She has a winsome disposition, and is always doing something for somebody else. She is very quiet in school, hut when she laughs all eyes go to the hack of the room. The pupils of Florence High send her out with a bright future. Yep! Nell is the girl who takes life seriously. When asked to join some High School adventure. she flatly refuses, and informs you that she hasn't time for such “nonsense.” Her greatest ambition is always to lead her class, and thus far she has realized her desire. “On time and never late,” is her motto, so she is always “there” ready for business. Ask Nell how many demerits she has received in her school career. Her disdainful reply will be, “Why, none at all.” Class Prophet Member Football Team 4-3 Member Senior Infantry In this true-blue “Scott we have a philosopher whose slogan is “Let well enough alone.

She's a flirt, but altogether adorable. On occasions, when the Senior reputation for originiality has been at stake she has always risen gracefully to the demand for something truly cute. She knows more huge words than anybody in school, and one is not safe around her without his pocket edition of Webster. Her fame is not only acquired in using big words, but impersonating everybody in literature and life—specializing on Lady Macbeth and Miss Fraser. She has her own opinions, reliable ones, which she expresses, regardless of contradiction. With all this she is thoroughly human, loves a good times, loves you. and you love her.

Bernice has never been known to violate a teacher’s rule and never will, but she'll listen to anything you say. And why should she worry if her Geometry lesson doesn't suit—there are plenty more. While Bernice's tongue is silent, her brain is always at work, and some day she'll surprise us all and do something “rash.” W I “Bill” tried to leave us at the beginning of the year, but the attractions of F. H. S. were irresistible, so back he came. He is seldom heard except in Geometry period, when he particularly shines. During other exercises he sits and looks wise, but when he is called upon, what he has to say is worth hearing. -A President of Junior Class President of Senior Class Member of Basket Ball Team 4-3 2 Block F Club 4-3 Sponsor of Foot Ball Team 3 Sponsor of Base Ball Team .Member of Climbing Club Member of Two-Lip Club Member of Beau-Not Club Member of Seven Spook Sisters Member of Witches Club Member Glee Club “Gold and Black’ is glad to claim for her president one who is Patti’s operatic rival, a lively Parvalo. and a professional fisher-of-men, but, we regret to add, she has been known to take “Booze” or raise “Cain, ’ and then go to “Lamar. “Hubby,” we have an eye on you— “Watch your step!” Substitute on Basket Ball Team 3-4 Member of Climbing Club Captain of Senior Infantry Member of Block F Club Did you ever see Ella stop talking for two consecutive minutes?

Winthrop her PREDESTINED Finis! - Ruth is not one of the specie that you knock down and she comes up smiling. She is in a good humor when a good humor is appropriate, but, take my word for it. nobody can walk over her. Ruth likes school studies, hut enough fun and good time to flavor them, or, perhaps I should put it the other way ’round. Evidently she has just the disposition that the girls (and hoys) like, with whom she shares those good times, ’cause she’s some popular. Elma is a “come what may” type of girl. She thinks only of today and lets tomorrow take care of itself. Though very brilliant and studious, she always finds time for a little fun if “Fessor’s” hack is turned. But feel assured that she is never punished for these, her misdoings, because she belongs'to the Latin class.

Everybody likes “Mary.” SENIOR CLASS HISTORY “Nothing in the past is dead to the man who would know how the present came to be what it is.” So we, the graduates of F. H. S. sum ours, of the last few years and submit it to you, our friends. The harshness of circumstance and the cruelty of fate have robbed us of a number of our original flock, but we, the toil-worn fragments of our band, pass on to this, the eventful day, in triumph. In September, i907, we came trooping in from here and there, some led, some coaxed, some driven by fond mothers and proud fathers. Painfully we underwent harsh words, not being accustomed to them, and Miss Jessie’s tap, tap. of the rule upon our tender knuckles while our little hearts seemed near breaking. Mae Husbands, growing tired of the same routine every day, declared that she had enough education and was going to stop school. Passing on into our second year, we were inclined to be a little more self-reliant, and acquired the art of talking. This is said to have followed us till now, but I doubt it. Alas, one day, while “Babs” Commander was indulging in a very interesting conversation with a member of the male sex, she was caught and required to sit with him. This mortified Barbara, as she was then a timid child. The next year our reins were drawn tight, and talking was a dangerous occupation, for Miss-Maggie Ilarrlee was accused of having eyes in the back of her head. Miss Corinth Baker was our next teacher, and if our most treasured pencil boxes by accident were knocked upon the floor, they were ours no longer, but hers. The next year, on account of scarcity of room, we were moved over to the High School building, where Miss Smith greeted us and has until this day been a little saint to us. In our sixth year, we had nothing but love affairs. Miss Jaeger was well occupied interfering with the love notes passed to and from sweethearts. The following year we had trouble with our teachers. Miss Burnes left Thanksgiving. and we were without a regular teacher until Christmas, when Mrs. Brunson undertook the job of grinding geography and math into our “Craniums.” Here we felt our vast importance, even though we were “rats,” but in ample time the upper classmates showed us our places. Our first latin lesson missed and, “Now, you will never get your Sheepskins, or ‘doll up’ in your commencement finery,” from Fessor to his trembling pupils. Our ninth year passed quietly. Behold another year found us studious, geometry crossed our paths and we all prepared for a retreat. One wintry day a terrible storm “blew' in.” Elizabeth Nelson was “sent up,” and while the girls all wailed, the boys stood off and wished they could. “Young ladies and gentlemen, let me beseech you to study now and not wait till too late, so that you can get your “Dips,” without any worry, etc.,” was the speech Mr. Briggs greeted us with the first morning of our dignity. But after Miss Gill persuaded Elizabeth Nelson that she didn’t know all of the French, we found that the Seniors weren’t everything. Mr. Massey took the French class after Christmas, but soon turned us over to Miss Browm. Then came “Themes,” not yearly, quarterly or monthly, but “Ye-Gods!” weekly! Miss Fraser seemed to have admired our wild imaginations. We grew to be “sharks” in geometry; professionals in projections; Caesars in history: Carusos in singing, and amateurs in the art of buttonholes. Thus we hereby lay our past before you to ridicule, smile at and criticize, while “per aspera ad astra” we march on to conquer the world and create more history. By LOUISE GABY HAYNSWORTH. Class Historian. CLASS PROPHESY As I was walking clown the street of a large city in the Southland recently and, my mind being on no particular object, but wandering from one thing to another as it so often does, 1 was brought to my stable equilibrium when my eyes rested upon this sign printed in big black letters and hung across the sidewalk: SEE THE SWAMI! THE GREAT HINDU FORTUNE TELLER AND HYPNOTIST THE FUTURE REVEALED! THE PAST LAID BARE! At first the words brought no thought to me except a mental picture of a tall Hindu with a turbaned head, but as I passed it by, the phrase—“The Future Revealed”—gave me an excellent idea. I would like to know what my old class-mates would do after school days. 1 turned the knob of the door and entered a small room very dimly lighted and hung with ornaments of the eastern people. I was approached by a figure which was clothed in a long purple robe, with a white turban on his head, fastened in front by a brooch set with a diamond. By this time I had grown a little wobbly in the knees and I wished I had gone on down town and never entered that place. I was beckoned to a high seat and told to sit down. The hypnotist found out what 1 desired and sent his companion for a glass of water. I began to get fidgety and be started to pass his hands before my face and look me straight in the eyes. At the same time, he uttered some deep gutteral words which 1 did not quite understand, and a peculiar feeling came over me. I lost track of everything and a beautiful sound came to my ears. It was sweet music, near, and yet seemingly far away. All at once I found myself in a large hall filled with people with hardly standing room. 1 scrambled up to a front seat and sat down and saw two beautiful girls playing, one a piano, the other a violin. When I became able to see distinctly, J was greatly surprised to recognize Marie Newman and Frances Spencer. While contentedly listening, a long-legged young man and a girl came out and began to dance. They were no other than Elizabeth Scott and her husband, the greatest of modern dancers, successors of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle. The next thing was a song, “When I Was Sweet Sixteen,” by a very stout personage whom I saw to be Barbara Commander. My old friends had taken to the stage and organized a successful three-act show’. The show was soon over and when I was going out of the door some one touched me on my arm. I looked up at a man with a red face and a mouthful of gold teeth, and recognized Robert Napier, the proud owner of the theater. Walking down the street 1 ran square into a little'stump; red-headed fellow with a bag of peanuts in one pocket and so engrossed in the contents of a newspaper that he could not see me. “I beg vour par—Oh! Hello, Campbell,” he said, as he raised his head. I saw immediately that Charles Haselden had never lost his love for a newspaper. Opening his paper he showed me a long passage relating to a clash between two partners in a law’ firm. These two people were Laurie Gorman and Elizabeth Nelson, two very earnest boosters of woman’s rights. After that he turned to the society page and Lo! and behold! there was announced the engagement of Nell Burch, a prominent society leader, and Johnson Hill, a young farmer. I wished both both of them good luck. I walked into a hotel and as 1 passed the desk I saw a very impressing stenographer, chewing for dear life on a wad of Juicy Fruit, whom I saw to be Ella Jaeger. Later I learned that the hotel was run by Mae Husbands, who received her capital from the insurance of her deceased young husband. On my exit from the hotel, I saw a large limousine pass with two elaborately dressed ladies with a poodle between them. On inquiry 1 found them to be Edith Bowey and Grace Hicks, traveling companions. They had received their fortune from the old country. ... The next thing that caught my eye was a barbers sign hanging out with the names “Cutts and Wheeler, Proprietresses,” and below that the names of two expert manicurists, or (landholders. “Essie Elliot and Ruth Lambert.” About this time an automobile ran up to the curb and stopped and a stout policeman with a big silver star and a mighty club marched up to the driver and cautioned him as to which side of the street he should park his car. When he turned I saw that he was Bill Hoole, arrayed in all his glory. I happened to raise my eyes to a large bill-board and reading down a few lines, this is what I saw advertised: The Finest Troupe of I adv Singers in the World. Excellent Music, Vocal and Instrumental. Miss Myrtle Philips, Manager, With Misses Louise Haynesworth and Louis Bradley best singers. All Have Cultured Voices. Being at this time at my leisure and having no engagements, 1 decided to go to the country. 1 always did have a longing for the woods and cool shade of the trees. I called on a friend of mine who owned a motor car and we started on a road well known to him. When we were just outside the city we came to a pretty bungalow with three little children playing in the yard. 1 asked the driver who lived there, and he said that it was the home of a widow whom I had known as Louise Muldrow. We rode on and came to a level stretch of land w'ith a very old store building in the midst of a group of giant oaks. As we passed it by, I saw that it was a home for old maids and Annie Bailey and Bernice Hoffmeyer were standing at the gate. I saw another beautiful country home among a patch of pines, and when we drew' near I saw a pretty girl with a milk pail on her arms. When we passed 1 saw’ Elma McPherson with a blush on her face as usual. By and by we came to a little store at the crossing of two roads. When we ran up to the door and stopped, 1 saw a very dirty young man working on a Ford under a large oak. When he turned around to see who we were, I saw, in spite of the grease and overalls, Chisholm Wallace, the inventor of a seat for a tin Lizzie that will hold three people. After a hearty talk about old times we journeyed back towards town. We were rounding a sharp turn in the road when my friend tried a “Ralph De Palma stunt” and turned the car over on us. A kind gentleman took us to a hospital and we received the attention of three good nurses who, when I could see, proved to be Elsie Napier, Mamie Middleton and Edna Moore. My sleep was interrupted at this period by a cold splash, and water began to trickle into my ears and eyes. Awful pains shot through my head, and I heard some one say, “That’s all right, he’ll come to directly.” I awoke and the Swami asked me; “Were you satisfied with your vision as to the future?” I told him “Decidedly so.” “f ive dollars, please,” he added. 9 • If here do we go from here, class?

Our seerets manifold; And high school teachers wonder, W hen to them our tale is told. Our hopes are great and many, For seniors soon we'll be, And we usually know our lessons As a potly-wog knows the sea. H e little know of languages, Of Math we know still less; llut when it comes to Science, In vain we try to guess. Full well we Know the grinding, Of school, year in and out, The terror of monthly quizzes When you wonder what they're 'bout. 'Tis life to have a holiday When the cold winds roar, ’Tis life to think about the days When school will be no more. But with song we mock the time, Our lessons, woes and pain, And joyfully await the hour, When summer will come again! —Edwin Cohen. JUNIOR HISTORY The greatest event of our school life happened when in September, 1916, we became “rats” of the F. H. S. If we were Freshmen it was something to be rodents of Florence High. Those first nine months of high school were as ghosts of yesterday. Never did we once dream that such terrors as Latin and Algebra actually existed. But we were undaunted, and in June one year of unbelievable horror was passed. The next session, with proud hearts and “swelled” heads we began our second drive in High School life. Mr. McFall administered the Latin and Mrs. Meeks applied the Spelling. Miss Nickels skilfully unravelled the Algebra, and so on. In this year Athletic and Society representatives, artists, poets, and characters of great note flourished. Now, somehow or other, the teachers began to speak of us as a model grade, hut “It is a wise father that knoweth his own child.” Again came June and our “passports,” hut some poor fellows had succumbed to the wiles of the demon of high school—Latin. However, this year saw us start with more zeal than the preceding one, for we were now the Junior Class of F. H. S. This year (much to “Fessor’s” regret) our Latin class had completely disappeared. Caesar’s campaigns had had their effect. Don’t take this as a confession. Caesar just simply made us see that Science was a good course. But we have met a new friend (?) this year. He is commonly known as Geometry and, though we hope for the best, we fear that we will never create a strong friendship with him. We still hold our position as a model grade, but we cannot claim this “rep” without giving our patient teachers due credit. “May the halos around their heads continue to shine!” It is useless to say that we have lost members and gained members, some of them good, some of them-----good like the others. In closing let us say that Destiny has scraped and hunted until he (she, or it) has collected and molded the well-known Junior Class of 1919. Kudolph Matthews, 1920.

If you can study and not be tired by studying Or talk in tones the teacher cannot hear, If you can calmly face examinations And never feel the least bit cold with fear; If you can dream and not get caught at dreaming Or star-gaze out the window during class, If you can think of things beside the lesson And answer still the pop-quiz you've been asked; If you can fill a weary study period With forty-five minutes' worth of studying done— Yours is the earth and all that's in it, And what’s more. You’ll be SOME scholar, my son. Jennie Mae McCurry, 21. SOPHOMORE HISTORY Sophomores! The finest name we know, and to use it means almost everything; that we are no longer rats; that we are one step nearer our goal than before; that we have come into the summer time of our High School career! In all our glory, we are not forgetful of the Freshmen and we want them to feel that in us they have friends; who will always be ready to help them. We have won over our under-class men in the Class Basket-Ball game, and we have played with Juniors and Seniors. We glory in having our share of the proverbial Sophomore disease. What would any school be without good, healthy conceit? We are glad that we come to Florence High, for we feel that it is doing us good; and then, too, what a priceless benefit we are bestowing on our “Kid Sister Class,” in the way of an illustrious example. As we add another round to our ladder, our highest aim in life is to reach the top, to be Rushed with “Privileges,” to wear a Class Bing, to be looked up to in everything—in short, to be Seniors! —Pearl R. Lindsay, 1921. FRESHMEN FRESHMAN POEM 'Bout sixty little Freshmen, Entered Florence High; Trembling, shaking, quaking, Ajraul to wink an eye. Sophomores and Juniors, Scornfully passed us by; And to look upon the Seniors, We. would hardly try. ’Bout sixty little Freshmen, Since that eventful day; Have stiulied maybe, worked perhaps. But still found time to play. ’Bout sixty little Freshmen, Are still in Florence High; But as Freshmen, we are ready now. To bid you all good-bye. —Epps Jones, 1922. How many are we? Who are we? F orty—Forty and a few. oiks. Flirts, Fools and Freshmen all. Whom are we taught by? What are we learning? essor, Faculty and Faith, iction, French and Folly, uture, Fame and Fortune. What is ahead of us? Where are we from? arms, Forests and Florence. —Julia Brunson, 1922. THE FRESHMAN CLASS President ...............................................................

Mr. Urookkr Mr. Blount Miss Meares Mu. Parks OUR COACHES FOR SESSION, 1918-1919 Here's to our Coaches of Florence High, ’Tis you who make us do or die. All our glory, il is yours, We lay our laurels at your doors. —L. P. B. ATHLETICS i • n Mntira during the session of 1918-1919 has been very interesting. For a The work n lrams of the school have taken, a very high stand in the contests of the number of years ) . 9ta|e contests. The teams had been in large measure the same Pee Dee Assoc-ia m The boys and girls who had carried the Purple and Gold tG victory personnel for sev j1 jrcpresenting us for four years. When the class of 1918 left ua from year ' c .ball football, and baseball teams of several years. Breaking the ties there went tlie dbskciuuh, seemed for the moment to he the taking away of those to whom we could only look for victory. Ten we began at the beginning of the session to take stock, the situation looked desperate. The ir|s basketball team had two members of the former championship team left. The football team fo md only two of last year's great team with us. The baseball hoys had only two of last year's first team to report. But when the “scrubs 0{ former years began to prove that they too knew something of the games that had brought prestige to the school, the situation began to look better. As the coaches began work in earnest the teams began to develop and it was soon realized that all was not lost. The Florence spirit was there and victories were the reward now of the little fellows who in the past had been only the sub who made the other strong teams possible. The football team got a late start, but soon had the other schools wondering whether or not Florence had back the strong team that it was thought had graduated. It was a team of new bovs. but the same determination and school pride were there, and these would not be denied. First. Darlington was defeated in the big Fair Week game. Then Sumter had to yield on Thanksgiving Day. Mullins could not stem the tide and soon it was conceded that again for the third consecutive year, Florence had won the Pee Dee championship. The I niversity of South Carolina sought to have the State Championship game played again there, but no contestant could lie found from the Piedmont, so the State Championship and the handsome Sylvan Cup were awarded to the Florence High School Football Team. Paul Barnes and Fraser, of last year's regulars, did great work in the line. Smith, Robert Jones and Edwin Jones, playing for the first time, aided in making the line absolutely impregnable. Captain Waters at quarter, ran his team well at all times and was a tower of strength on both offense and defense. At halfback Chisholm Wallace, playing for the first time, and Manning Brunson, were fast and sure. These men, with Leonidas Jones, made the best high school hack-field in the state. At ends, Hicks and Stokes were fighters all the way and had a great ileal to do with making a scoreless defensive for the team. It was not scored on during the season. Joe Blount at end and guard, did good, consistent work and was always ready when called on. I he boys basket ball team was organized this year. The boys developed very rapidly and even in their first game showed that they could surprise an experienced team. Sumter winning by a lone goal. I he team won a majority of its games in this, its first season, being beaten decisively by only the strong Columbia team. The men developed rapidly and are looking forward to next season with interest. ' Chisholm Wallace as forward, played in every game, worked hard, possessed wonderful speed, ami was a dangerous man for his opponents. Charles Waters was the star “tosser and in scoring made an enviable record. Paul Barnes (Capt.) tried successfully to be a score-tight guard, .ater he assumed the offensive effectively, scoring a number of goals. Leonidas Jones at guard was a strong man and played an effective, offensive game all the while. Edwin Jones and Hart-e .o email pla ed center. Jones played in a majority of the games and was good in jumping ? ? „ ! or °r, Coleman played the last two games and proved himself a valuable man. “Bob- ic ont.. raser. Joe Waters and Nat Hicks were verv fine utilitv men and will lie of the first team in time. The iris began the season late because of the influenza epidemic. Only two of the former champions reported. New interest had to he developed. Mr. R. K. Currin of the School Board, came t the rescue by oaring a handsome cup to be contested for annually by the several classes of the school These class games developed much helpful rivalry as well as gave splendid training for the more serious games ahead. W hen they were over. Miss Mares found she had a good nudeous of players from which to build a good team. She began the season with a strong team, hut lo t the first game, the first defeat in three years. The team found itself, though, and soon proved itself of championship caliber. At the close of the season the Extension Department of the University of S. C. awarded us the championship of the Pee Dee and asked us to meet the Piedmont champions- Simpsonsville for the State Championship. This game was played on the University court, and for the second successive season, the Florence team won this big game and the handsome Sylvan Cup, the State Championship Trophy. All the girls played well and proved that the honors entrusted to them by the former Slate Championship team were in capable hands and well defended. Louisa Haynsworth, Bclva Hayns-worth. Pearl Lindsay and Edna Moore played consistent forwards. Elizabeth Nelson, Mae Husbands and Kyle Keefe were most active and effective centers. Captain Nell Cults and Eli a-beth Scott were truly “score-tight guards, as the low scores of the opponents show. In Pie Nate Championship game they held the strong Simpsonville forwards to four field goals. A foremost coach, after the championship game, declared Capt. Cutis the strongest woman player he had ever seen on a floor. The baseball boys find themselves, too. with only two of last years regulars back. Many candidates are out for practice and the team will he out there fighting with the same spir.t that characterizes all Florence High teams. The schedule is now being arranged. As we go to press, no game has yet been played, hut Capt. Wallace and Coach Parks are looking to the future, and ere long will have a team ready for the contests. We are watching you. boys, with full faith and confidence! All in all. the season has been a most interesting and successful one.

In 1917 and 1918 the team won the Pee Dee championship with ease. In 1917 the team tied with the Columbia High School for the State Championship, and in 1918. after meeting all comers in the Pee Dee successfully, sought a state championship game. No such game has been arranged, however. s0 we claim only the Pee Dee championship. ‘'Big Boy” Blount, “Slim Timmons, “Happy Wallace, “Shorty Holland. “Jimmie Clemmons. “Eddie” Pendergrass. “Billie Johns, and “Onnie Jones have left us (with “Dips in the main), but their record is our pride and the two championships they brought to our record shall be joyfully treasured in the years to come.

And something was wrong, you could tell by his looks. He thumped on the table and he scratched his poor head. He chewed on his pencil and twice broke the lead. He thought lirst of cavaliers, soldiers and cooks. He thought then of outlaws, of kings and of crooks; He even thought of ’lectricity and steam. Hut none of these subjects would do for his theme. And. so, after hours of misery and pain. And cussing his teacher and racking his brain. He took for his title. “When Night Turns to Day.” Then sharpened his pencil and scribbled away. At last, when he finished this burden of school. He sighed to himself as he fell over a stool. “Writing a theme’s worse than fighting a Hun, Hut. hurrah for tomorrow: than goodness I’m done.” SCIENCE I SURDS OR ABSURDS ? i i Vt k MATHEMATICS Ba-ba Black-board, Who invented you?

Have you ever had a sinking sensation around your heart in school? You have? Good! You can sympathize with us, then. Now. we are Seniors, hut people seem to think that we have entirely outgrown our premature days, which is almost impossible. Yet it is always, “You should set the example in this,” or “you should set the example in that,” for 8C. Well, the day has begun. Enter Professor George Briggs with his tortoise-shell specks perched upon his nose—get it? This worthy instructor of Latin holds the most important study period going, in our estimation, and the first thing in the morning at that! You see, 'Fessor spends most of his time ringing taps, while the janitor sleeps in perfect bliss, or in holding private consultations with young men to investigate “caught in the act” matters. Have you ever been gifted with a tremedous talking capacity, backed up with time to burn? They're sure to cause a chemical combustion sooner or later, so here goes “Miss Haynsworth, take this front seat. That yow-yowing back there has got to stop. I can’t have it, not goner have it, and er, er—” “Miss Barbara, will you take this front seat?” the stern voice of “lchabod” echoes throughout the room. “Yessur,” replies Miss Barbara and aside to the class, “I knew it was coming.” Do you promise not to tell? Well, old Frances Spencer is our sponsor when it comes to shutting doors on George's hack. As for a jolly-gav union, there is none that can outdo us. and as you are dying to know the “stunts” we “pull off,” I'll reply that it is a secret order. Of course, as for curving ink-bottles, erasers, and chalk—well, we received our diplomas last June. “Golly Moses,” and such exquisite expressions burst forth suddenly, when the cloak-room door is electrically thrown open and there stands the counterpart of Napoleon Bonapart I. more generally known as “Eagle Eye.” Then comes his scrutinizing and analyzing of each member of the class—and that right rigidly. At last he proceeds to stroll up and down a side of the room, with a downward glance, hands clasped behind his back, until—out of a side window, he spies the janitor, breaking robust switches to entertain some little unfortunates with, after two o'clock. Poor little angels! In a “flopping” place, where a good “bird’s-eye” view is attainable, he props himself in a chair against the wall, and in a pensive mood exercises the familiar chin stroke, until it is time to tap the bell, which tapping always requires his presence. Mr. “W. L.” certainly must have been far-sighted when he filed Marion Fraser for a teacher, for besides knowing the whole English book, she is rich in “fuel value.” Believe us, she is strong on the “Jesuit Review System” and scanning—particularly scanning. As for Shakespeare and Victor Hugo, they are “old acquaintances not forgot.” Recess, and this particular day (we're expecting some lunch over the fence) nothing worse than “Flossie and Marcia Van Duzer,” the famous mathematicians are on duty. They never went to school for “nothing.” and take it from us, they are “on the job.” Flossie persists upon walking along the side of the fence, and true is the saying. “She’s got eyes in the hack of her head.” Ditto, Mrs. Meeks. “One cruel thing after another!” History, of course. The inevitable has happened and “Grandpa” Sullivan begins to deliver his “problem” or “sermon”—whichever you prefer to call it. Nevertheless, he is a good sport and is seen occasionally shooting marbles with little school kids on the Central School grounds. “Reduce that proposition to the Reductio Absurdum.” Isn't that “Belle Nickels” all over? She is very generous, as you can see by our brilliant marks in geometry, and she never gives tests—does she? Recess again! What a delight to breathe in the good fresh air once more, if it is only for fifteen “weazly” minutes. “Rip out that seam. It's a fraction over an eighth of an inch wide,” trills the voice of our Art teacher -“Some Byrd.” Of course, its “Do or dje” and all hands get busy. Then, here coines “Yankee Casburn,” switching in, with a yard-stick in one hand and a pile of “projection papers” in the other. Behind follow two of her young victims, escorting a miniature blackboard. All necessary to call order is the gentle word, “Boys.” It is doubtful if the girls would succeed in pulling off such a sugar-coated syllable in that “foreign” accent get her to say it for you. “Girls, get your line straight and stop talking.” happens to be “Frenchie” Brown’s motto when she has command of the platform. We sometimes hear that she is waiting for a certain regiment— or is it battleship—to return from “Over There,” and we wish her the “one out of a hundred” good luck! There comes “Little Annie May.” Woe be unto you, for when she makes her debut before the inattentive class, there must he undivided attention to her subject—if not, “Swallow the pill!” But one good thing, she always gi es you a fore-runner of danger, such as. “You pay no more attention to me than to water on a duck’s back.” Future Seniors. Shrinking Violets, we warn vou. Always look them straight in the “sparkles” and you will get the best results. Thus, with no explanations, apologies, nor regrets, we come to the “end of a perfect day.” THE SENIORS OF 19. Electrical Phenomenon .....................................................

Paul Barnes OUR WATERLOO I ‘‘Well, one thing certain,' said Louise Haynsworth. “I'm not going unless Miss Meares says something to me.” “You're crazy,” said ‘'Red Cults, “Of course you'll go. You all make me sick. The Basket-ball girls were discussing the trip to Kingstree. and as yet. Miss Meares had not given Marion the list. Catheryn, Edna, Belva and I were anxiously waiting for her. At this moment she came up saying, “Marion, here is the list. I'll see you in the morning, girls.” All of us crowded around Marion and then the four of us went into ecstasy, for our names were on it. The next morning at the station, several people came up and told us encouragingly, they hoped we’d heat. We smiled bark in a condescending way and looked as if there was no doubt of our beating. All of us were there but I ouise and Belva, who are always “cowtails.” At five minutes before train time we began to get anxious, but they finally arrived with a minute and a half to spare for which we offered up prayers of thanksgiving. On the way we had the best kind of time, notwithstanding the fact that Mae, Louise and Elizabeth Scott had three perfectly good sailors to talk to. Elizabeth Nelson, Marion, Belva and I, talked to .Miss Meares and held the ball. Marion had impressed upon us, who had never been away with the team before, that it all depended on the way you looked, who took you, so we had dressed with care and I had sewed two buttons on my coat and polished my shoes. We fully expected to have the Kingstree girls, come along, give us a critical look. and. if we “passed muster say, “I’ll take you. We got there at last and the girls met us. Then followed our “distribution, and several fortunate ones climbed in a big Cadillac and rolled off. Madge Blakely had gathered up the male population of Kingstree to amuse us and the morning passed quite pleasantly. While several of us were in the drug store, having a drink tit was only Coca-ColaL a good-looking soldier passed by and Elizabeth Nelson sent him a “chocolate bon-bon look and in he walked and sat down beside us, much to our “dismay (? ”. Of course, Marion decorated him with purple and gold. Then came dinner We had been told not to eat much, but — (Elizabeth, do you remember that fried chicken and fruit cake?”) The “Kingstreet girls, as half of us called them, did not talk much about themselves, and we were perfectly confident of winning. It was not until wfe were nearly to the court that Belva whispered. I'm scared to death.” “Oh! phsaw! said the rest. At the field we were the target of all kinds of looks and remarks and we promenaded up and down in pairs with our arms around each other. “Mae,” said “Red,” “Lcmme put a bee in yoirr ear.” (Marion's words were somewhat mixed, but she whispered in Mae's ear.) “Unhuh” said Mae. and glanced speculatively at the tall center, and then, the game was called. Kingstree secured the tip off , their side center got it and passed it to Madge Blakely (their star forward), who threw it in the goal with ease. (Cheer from Kingstree. Florence “subs heart? began to sink). This was repeated (another cheer—more heart-sinking), and. well anyway, at the end of the first half. Kingstree had scored 28 and we 8 (maybe it was 6). A more astonished, crestfallen, surprised set of girls you wouldn't have found in South Carolina. “Get to work, girls. You're not beat yet.'' said Miss Meares. “Miss Meares, you ought to watch that awful, little side center. She's just riding me,” ai l Mac. and began to cry. “I a-a-int crying cause we’re beat. I'm crying ’cause I’m MAD.” “My first game.” said Elizabeth Nelson, sadly. “The sun was in our eyes. Of course, we couldn’t play. It aint fair.” said Bclva. Since we came home the sun being in our eyes lias become a standing joke. The second half saw Elizabeth and “Red” mad and they played like —er- anything. Mae’s awful little rider pushed her once too often and Mae cried angrily “Get off-er me,” to the delight of the boys. The team woke up and played good ball, but they had too big a start on us and. sad to relate, we were beaten. (If you want the score, look it up.) I hated Kingstree and everyone in it. a certain member of the faculty included, and we had to yell “Kingstree. Kingstree. Kingstree!” To say that we felt bad. puts it mildly. “Red.” especially. was heart broken. We took Elizabeth Nelson away weeping and wailing. “My first game!” And do you know, Ixrnise and Elizabeth Scott stayed over. To use Belva’s words, “I wouldn’t have stayed in Kingstree for a million dollars. Sister always was crazy, though.” The rest of us couldn’t get out quickly enough. That walk to the station, a triumphant Kingstree girl on each side of us yelling, “We beat! We beat!” Can’t you imagine how we felt? To be the first Florence team that had gotten beat in several years. Lizzie Gordon made several enemies that afternoon, whether or not they were lasting ones, by saying. “If we don’t ever beat you anymore, we’ve beaten you once, and we aren't going to let you forget it, either.” We opened our mouths with a sort of sickly smile, but “Red” snapped, “As soon as you have completed arrangements for the return game, let me know, please, ‘Miss’ Gordon.” The train was hours coming, but our little soldier of the morning was there with, “You’ll beat next time, girls.” And with a subdued note in our voices, but with a firm and steady look we answered, “You bet we will.” Then the worst was yet to come- breaking the news at home to teasing fathers and scornful mothers. We have known the bitterness of defeat but our surviving hope is to play Kingstree and beat. They have called off one game and sent us a telegram collect—thirty cents. “Red” paid it, but we ll forgive all that when we beat them. Watch us! E- S.—Two weeks later. What did 1 tell you? We sure did clean them up both times: 26 to 15; 21 to 17. Well, here we go. Now watch us capture the championship. MARY SHIPP, '20. A TRAGEDY OF NAMES There was a COMMANDER of a SHIPP who lived on a HILL by a LAKE. Bl RCH ami HAZEL trees grew in the yard and IVEY twined around the wall. His pet was a BROWN BYRD and lie loved the KING of ENGLAND and the POPE. He enjoyed BASS fishing, being always on W ATERS and RIVERS. He had MOORE BARNES than any of the GENTRY, but he was a MEEK S man. His wife had had two HI SBANDS and wanted a NEWM VN. so she asked her BROTHERS, who kept a TAYLOR shop, to help her kill him. “HOOLE help me!” she cried. “GEE! you will go SCOTT free, and I will give you many NICKELS and PENNYS.” He was a COLEMAN and liked plenty of fresh AYER, so slept on the front porch. One KNIGin he received many Cl TTS and died. His wife was true as STEELE to her BROTHERS and gave them the money and to each a large PEARL in payment. Then she sat down to read a NOVEL while a CANNON was fired for her husband and a FARMER tolled his funeral NELL. —M. S., ’20. I DREAMED That ’Feasor knocked before entering a room.

That “Onnie” Jones made perfect on attendance. , That Yancy King's smile wore away. That Elizabeth Scott was quiet ten minutes. That Louise Haynsworth was at school on Monday. That Mr. Parks had ceased to chew “Climax.” That R. B. Hare was seen smoking a cigarette. That DeLeon Fink lea came to school before nine o’clock. That Darlington had heat us in foot-ball. That Miss Florrie laughed aloud in school. That a new bell had been installed in the school-house. That 8C came promptly to order when the hell rang.

V5JT7 I GIMME LIBERTY OR GIMME DEATH (Apologies to Patrick Henry.) “Dog-gone the luck, I got to recite at Literary Society, Friday,” said James, the twelve-year-old son of the Rev. Amos Hard. Of course, he was as bad as anv of them. “Whatcha goina say?” asked his chum. “ ‘Gimme Liberty or Gimme Death,’ by Henry Patrick. Pa learnt it to me.” The fatal day arrived in due course of time, and as it was the last period in the day, James was exhausted, having repeated over and over, “No man thinks more highly than I do, of the patriotism of the worthy gentlemen.” It was with extreme self-consciousness and trepidation, that he came forward and stumbled on the steps, which brought a few delighted giggles from his class-mates. Then commenced a period of awful terror and agony, during which all the intelligence faded from his face, and a strained blank look, took its place. Glearing his throat, he began: “Ladies and gentlemen, no fellow thinks more high than me of the men. who have just made speeches, but but—but—er, as we are gathered in the presence of these witnsses and the sight of God, I want to speak out my opinion, free and without preserves, and this is not time for the ceremony—” The pause became painful and the boys began to laugh. His teacher frowned and prompted, “The question before the house—” “The question before the house,” repeated he, then, with a mighty effort, “Is that I consider myself guilty of treason, which I revere above all earthly things.” “James, James,” gasped the teacher, hut having a sense of humor, decided to let him finish. The pupils, to whom unusual speeches meant nothing, sat up to enjoy it to the fullest, and James, aware of (heir flattering attention, began speaking with gaining confidence: “Gentlemen of the jury, 1 require and charge you. both, as long as ve both shall live, to—to have but one lamp by which your shoes are guided and a—that is—er— Woodrow Wilson. Trust him not, Sirs, he will prove a snare. Are we like them, who have eyes and hear not, and have ears and see not those things which concern our temperance and salvation? Shall we respect the Kaiser or King George? Remember the Civil War! We have no longer room for hope. If we wish to be free, we must hastily abandon noble peace,” he cried and glanced around triumphantly. “We must fight these Huns! I repeat, ma’am, we must fight. It is a man’s job.” But alas! for his short-lived triumph! Again, a pause. He would finish if it killed him. So with another mighty effort, “If—if—er anyone knows any impediment, let him now speak, or else, forever afterwards, hold his peace. “Sirs, our chains are clanking! Ladies, what means this marriage essay? War is come! Wilt thou have this war to give thy sons and buy Liberty Bonds? Till victory stoppeth it.” (Thank goodness he had learned the marriage ceremony, having heard his father repeat it. It was saving him now). “Those who promise, let not man put asunder. With this speech I endow the war. For as much as I have, 1 pronounce it, army and navy together, in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. “Ladies may cry peace, peace! but there aint no peace. What do you want? Is school so nice—is life so dear, to be bought at the price of—er—of dollars and cents? Forbid it, Ladies and Gentlemen.” The pupils were astounded at his eloquence and gazed open-mouthed at him. The teacher’s frown had changed to laughter. For once, in their lives, her pupils caught her thoroughly amused. I dunno what way others may do,” he finished bringing his fists into contact, and raising his voice in the fashion of his father, “but, as for I, gimme liberty or gimme death! Amen.” 1. S., ’20. NATURE Can’t you hear it in the singing Of the birds as they go winging Their homeward way to birdies in the nest? Can’t you hear it when you’re listening To the wind as it goes whispering Secrets to the trees in green leaves drest? Can’t you feel it in the nearness Of the stars so bright and fearless Gazing from their homes up in the skies? Can’t you feel it in the gladness That has taken away your sadness And makes you feel a longing’s satisfied? Can’t you see it in the glory Of the sun as it sinks slowly With all its golden splendor in the west? Can’t you see it in the ocean With its swift and hasty motion Ever vainly trying to find a place to rest? Can’t you hear her culling, calling? It is nature who is calling. Reckoning from ajar for you to go; To leave behind your sorrow Atul in nature’s footsteps follow. And leave her and j or sake her never more. —J. M. McC., ’21. t COME ON BOYS THE WATER'S FINE “Whew! It’s sure hot, ’ gasped Johnnie, as he impatiently wiped the perspiration from his face, “I’m sure going to the creek.” A keen, soft whistle, and in an instant he held the attention of every boy in the school-room. Moving his hands in the motion of swimming, was all that was necessary, and the eyes of the boys sparkled at the anticipated pleasure. Recess, and all’s well. A board off the fence, and—and you know the rest. The creek was a mile from the school-house, and they reached it in a short while. Everything was forgotten, save the desire to get in as soon as possible. But, alas! only two suits among the crowd. “Ah! Come on. boys. No chance of anybody coming out till late,” yelled Johnnie, as he made a graceful dive off the spring-board. The splash of the water told the story, and the boys could not resist the temptation. After an hour or more of diving, and of doing “fancy stunts,” they decided to cross the field and race around the bend of the creek, about a mile in distance. No sooner said than done. They arranged themselves in a row and off they swam. At first, Johnnie was ahead, but his pal, Bill, with a determined stroke, gained and swam abreast with him. As they swam around to the steps, side by side, the horn of a car was heard, and on looking up, they saw an automobile full of the “female species,” roll up to the bath-house. A most awful feeling came over Johnnie, as he yelled to warn the other boys. “Ladies,” blub bled Johnnie, holding to the steps with one hand, the rest of his body submerged, “Ride away a little while, won’t yur? You see, ’twas just like this: We didn’t have but two suits for the hull crowd, and we ain’t had not time for to divide ’em up.” Being, altogether, an agreeable crowd of ladies, they drove off, leaving the bewildered boys almost drowned. But the always cheerful voice of Johnnie said, “Don't yur worry, boys, and let tomoriow take care of herself.” H. M C., ’19. F. H S.
