Hy L- THE FLORENTINE Nineteen Hundred and Twenty Uolume Three Published Bq The Florence High School Florence, S. C.

THE FLORENCE CITY SCHOOLS BOARD OF CITY COMMISSIONERS: N. W. Hicks, Chairman H. E. Davis J. W. Irby R. E. Currin J. C. McClenaghan W. L. Brooker, Superintendent Miss Trix Barber, Mrs. J. L. Wysong, Primary Supervisor Music Supervsisor The Florence City Schools District was organized by special act of Legislature in 1883. There were then in use a few' small wooden buildings for the small schools of the village. In 1914 the first brick building was erected on Cheeves Street. This was used for all grades until the large, modern grammar school was erected on Dargan Street. This new building, the Central Grammar School, was occupied for the first time in January, 1918. The High School was continued in the old building on Cheeves Street. The schools grew rapidly and soon filled both buildings. To meet the growth, the Board built the Park Grammar School in 1915. This was occupied in 1916. The schools continued to grow with the steady growth of the city and by 1919 all class rooms are again crowded. To meet this condition a modern high school'was planned. This building has been needed for some years. So the Board has begun its second building development. There is now being erected on South Dargan Street, a large modern school building. This will he of fireproof construction and will include provisions for all high school work and activities. Manual Training, Domestic Science, Domestic Art, and general laboratories are provided. In addition, there will he sixteen standard classrooms. The auditorium will seat 1200 people and a large gymnasium will provide the needed physical training. Large playgrounds and a full-sized athletic field will be a part of the equipment. The building w ill cost about $200,000 and is so planned that future additions are possible without marring in any way the plan. The growth of the schools during the last decade has been remarkable but only in keeping with the growth of the city. In 1910 there were in the schools 1019 pupils. Now the enrollment is 3237. All class rooms are being used and are crowded. There is every evidence that the growth will he constant. To meet this in the future, the Board has alradv secured a site in West End for another grammar school and one in North Florence for another negro school. This summer a high school building will be erected for the negro schools. There is every evidnce that the future heolds for the system much that is encouraging and progressive. CLASS POEM Class-mates our school days have ended. Our childish habits are dead. We dream of the past that tve’re leaving And wonder what lies just ahead. We're leaving the scenes of yesterdays And the school we called our own. And many’s the lessons we leave unlearned. Though its loss we fail to mourn. Fond are the memories we take with us Of our comrades and teachers too, Of the old red building with many scars That will soon be replaced with new. Memories of those substitute teachers And study periods thrown away, And thoughts of the many popquizzes we had, They all are with us to stay. But soon the world will call on us, And this the call will be, “I have a place for every one But what can you do for me?” Class-mates arise to his question. And say that you will try. Remember to do the part you have For the glory of dear old Hi! LAWSON PAUL BARNES “Fatty” “Cupid' “Three-fifths of him genius and two-fifths sheer judge. President of Serior Class; Secretary F. H. S. Literary Society 3 ; Annual Staff (2-34); Member Basket Ball Team Ml; Captain Basket Ball Team (3); Manager Basket Ball Team (4) : Member Foot Ball Team (2-34); Manager Football Team (34); Member Block F. Club (1-2-34); Member Glee Club (3-4); Member Bo Club (4); Member Sans Souci (4); Member Busy Bee Club (4). There are no words of fitting exactness and variety to describe Paul. Whether it be on the athletic field, in a debating contest, or on the floor at Pinewood Paul is a star. From making even our most austere teacher laugh to supplying the needed excuse for all 11-B’s devilment he is “on the job.” It is said that Paul is some heart smasher, but since last summer “be looked at her and saw nothing but her.” We think that he has been initiated into the secret order of “K. P.” Perhaps this is why his books and the desks of the High School at large bear these fatal initials. JENNIE CARSON BARNWELL “ leave thy praises unexpressed, leave thy greatness to be guessed ” Whose honor-roll record proclaims her knowledge? That’s Jennie. Who spent her vacation at business college? That’s Jennie. Who is never known at her books to nod. Who takes the front seat of her own accord. Who is the maiden we all applaud? That's Jennie. MAE VIVIAN BASS Here's to the love that lies in womans eyes, And lies and lies------and lies Vice-President, Class 3; Secretary and Treasurer Class 4; Secretary ami Treasurer Souci Club; Member Leap Year Club; Member Glee Club, (34); Athletic Sponsor (4). Wlien one thinks of Mae, one involuntarily thinks of her affairs d’amour. Yesterday it was Gerald or Cain; today, Burch, Lee or Jones; tomorrow—who knows! Oh Mae, you are “one too many'’ for us, yet we love you just the same—’cause, we can't help it. ANNE PEYRE BRUNSON “Peyre “Anne Peyre smiled and all the world was gay. Member Basket Ball Team (34) ; Member F. Block Club; Member Class Basket Ball Team 3 ; Vice-President Literary Society (4); Member Bee Hive Club (4) ; .Member Tennis Club (4) ; Member Sans Souci Club (4) ; Secretary and Treasurer Leap Year Club (4). To us last year this lassie came. And with us she has won much fame. In basket ball and every art She more than plays her valued part. Tis she who oft dispells the gloom Of weary hours in our room. Carefree and gay come e’er what may. Even “Props in Geometry” are to her just play. Sphinx alone knows himself. Whether he will he a raiser of ostriches, or a writer of free verse, or the next president, we do not know. But rumor whispers that he has a leaning towards the Movie World. Perhaps some day we will see him as a movie star, or who knows? Flora is our country girl. She has come to school faithfully for eleven years, and has a host of friends. She is one of our experts in sewing and has won much fame by the “perfect ’ middy blouse she made in Domestic Art. She is held up by Miss Byrd as an example of what a sewing pupil should be. SARAH LOl ISE CALAIS “It's the song ye sing, And the smile ye wear, That makes the sunshine eveywhere. Class Vice-President (4) ; Member Tennis Club (4 ; President Ouija Board Club (4); Member Black Cat Club (4). Most deservedly popular with classmates and teachers is Louise. She is studious and conscientious, but hidden beneath that quiet, gentle manner is a wonderful capacity lor fun and frolic that wins a hearty response from every one. She may be just a wee bit pensive, since she sometimes, “ere the sun is set, wanders demurely by the Rivers. i FRANCES LLCILE COLE ‘To blush is an art which she has never acquired ‘To blush is an art which she has never acquired.” (?) Member Ouija Club (4) ; Member of Glee Club (4); Member Black Cat Club (4). To her many friends. Lucile gives the impression of being modest and quiet, but wait until you see her off duty. She is one of the most reliable members of the class, and does not mind working. Lucile has a decided taste for music. Her greatest desire is to develop this talent. Her ideals are sky-high and her ambition beyond bounds. There's one of our number named Cottingham, Better known to the hoys as That guy. Potted Ham.‘ Since long trousers he’s donned Quite a Senior he looks. And through tortoise shell specks. He sure studies his books. So heres to the lad who hails from Clio, Who heard of our fame and cried Westward Ho!” MARGARET EVELYN COMMANDER “Some day well understand the why So in the meantime. I wont try.” Member Senior Basket Ball Team (4). Quiet, steady, dependable Margaret! At home she's just Susan but at school she is a woman of brave opinions and dauntless in the expression of them. Though we know not her ambitions, we predict success for her. J. DeLEON FINK LEA “This is a man” Business Manager of Florentine (3); Editor-in-Chief Florentine (4); Secretary Safety Matches Club (4) ; Secretary A. I). T. 4 Here’s the member of our class for whom we predict great success in the world of science. Whether It will discover what electricity is or not. we do not know. But we do know that what he does, it will be done well. LAWRENCE KING FRASER ff ith step triumphant and heart of cheer. ‘7 like the man uho faces what he must, Member Foot Hall Team (1-2-34); Member Basket Ball Team (3) ; Busy Bee Club (4) ; Member Glee Club (4). Here's the fellow who is predicted to put Caruso on the shelf. We are often entertained between classes with snatches of “Bang Way Lula, “Dinah Won't You Blow and “Pull Your Shades Down Mary Ann. But this jolly good fellow has other qualities besides that of his rich bass. He is the best high school foot hall center in the State! Hack in a corner of the room called Section B., I here sits a maiden working faithfully. If you are in trouble, she will back you to the end. In Tarquita Fulton, you will find a friend. Quit a, Tarquita, Conscientious, kind and true. ’Quita. Tarquita, We‘11 remember you. FLORENCE CALLYE FI NK “Some think the world is made for fun and frolic, and so do .” Member Leap Year Club (4 ; Sans Souci Club (4); Bee Hive Club (4). She possesses a smile, pep and personality. What more could you wish for? She is always ready for fun, and to find a better pal for a iark of any kind, you will have to travel far. EDITH LEE GEE “She is clever. brilliant and sparkling beyond most of her kind. Member Tennis Club (4); Member Safety Matches Club (4); Member lllack Cat Club (4 . One glance at those bright, black orbs will tell you that they belong to one who is in everything a good sport, a champion tennis player and a master musician. She is the essence of fun and mischief, sweet and attractive. A good combination is it not? ¥ ■ 2 ELIZABETH ROGERS GREGG “Libby” “And while you smile another smiles. Ami soon there re miles and miles of smiles, And life’s worth while because you smile.” Member Leap Year Club; Can't; Tennis Club; Member Bee Hive Club. v Rosey-cheeked, blue-eyed Elizabeth brings happiness to even- one by her smiles. She has also won miles of friends hv them. Elizabeth is a very studious pupil, hut her favorite study is history-, especially when pertaining to the line of James. “Libby” is known as the “angel” of our class, hut nevertheless she is a good sport. She has. shown this by the way she has taken interest in our school her last and only year. She intends to further develop her thinking apparatus at St. Mary's. ANNIE LOUISE GREGG Sis to half a score o summers Makes the sweetest of the teens, Not too young to guesst dear classmates IT hat a lover means.” Class Prophet (4); Sub. Basket Ball Team (3 4) ; Member Class Team (34) ; Vice-President Literary Society (4); Member Sans Souci Club 4); Member Tennis Club 4); Member Leap Year Club (4); Member Bee Hive (4); Athletic Sponsor (4). Here's one among us, Louise Gregg. For breaking hearts, she is some yegg; You ask me why this country lass Endears herself to our class., She's not too forward, not too shy, A happy medium, that is why. RANSOM BRYANT HARE “The mildest manner and the bravest mind.” Member A. I). T. Although quiet and unobtrusive, R. B. is a bully good fellow and is “one of us indeed. He has been with the class ever since we entered the first grade in “days long past, and lias always done his part of school work or play. Though not an athlete himself, R. B. has always been behind our teams with the real “Hi” spiri. Murray lias few words to say, but those words cover the whole ground. He has the gift of an artist and frequently amuses us with his rare drawings. Murray has lately fallen in love, so that sometimes we catch his “lost to the world.” He is very fond of Roman History, specializing on such characters as Anthony. NATHANIEL WELCH HICKS uI'm a llolsheviki Flower, I grow wilder every hour Foot Ball (3-4); Basket Ball (3-4); Base Ball (4); Track (4); Art Editor Annual (4); Member Safety Matches; Member Bo’s; Member A. I). T.; Member Sans Souci; Member Block F. (34). For ten years we bad with us the same Nat. blunt in speech an an undisputed shunner of the fair sex. But when we gather for our last year at “Hi”—lo and behold, we hardly recognized our erstwhile school-mate, ultra-modern in speech and manner and with his hair, which he formerly “just wore”, split exactly down the middle! He has indeed become a ladies’ man—yea terily. MARY LOUISE HUBBARD “Behind those brown eve$ there lies much mischief: Member Bee Hive Club (4) ; Member Mary Club (4). When brown eyes are sparking in happy fun. And soft-spoken words about Walter are heard. Then ’Melia, Flora and ’Quita are surely Speaking of someone and Clifton's the word. : Thelma is our most conscientious girl. Though she does not care particularly for the company of the strong sex, she is frequently seen riding with an unknown knight in a two-seated Ford on Sunday afternoons. When questioned, she demurely shakes her head and talks about the weather. EDWIN GRAY JONES “Bone Head” “So daring in love, so dauntless in war” Fool Ball Team (3 41 ; Basket Ball Team (3); Basket Ball Captain (4); Base Ball Team 3-4); Member F. II. S. Glee Club (3-4) : Member Block F. Club 3-4): Member Bo Club (4) ; Member Bee Hive Club (4) ; Member Sans Souci Club (4). Edwin is witty fellow as well as a great athlete. We also claim that he can cook cheese as well as any one (?) He is an enthusiastic disciple of Isaak Walton, his hobby being “Bass” fishing, in which sport we all wish him the best of luck. GEORGE GIBBONS JONES “Gibbons is the vender of the fruit of goodnature--------Friendship” Foot Ball Team (3-4); Member Bo's (4); Member A. I). T. (4); Member Block F. (4). Here is an all-round fellow. Gibby is a star athlete and is popular with both girls and boys When it comes to “cracking” jokes, he's there with the goods! He always has a smile and goodnature is the foundation of his personality. He will be found working faithfully at the fruit store on Saturday, according to “Peter Pal,” his employer. and (not to change the subject) we know him to be a Greek scholar. ROBERT LEDBETTER JONES “A woman is only a woman but a good cigar is a smoke.” Vice-President of Class (2) ; Secretary of Class (3); Foot Ball (34); Basket Ball (34); Base Ball (2-34); Block F. (34); Literary Editor of Annual (34); Glee Club (3): Bo's (4); A. D. T. (4). Contentment is Bob's middle name, but along with contentment is mixed a certain amount of ambition and knowledge. Bob is widely known through his jokes. In fact it is nothing unusual for a certain section of 11-A just around the neighborhood of Bob, to suddenly give way to an uproar of laughter and eh (Bob) slyly moves up and he takes a front seat. What's the matter? Oh! just a “good one Bob had to tell us. Boh requires no introduction especially to the “high brow society of 11-B which gathers in the Manual Training room for--------wrell known games. Bob being a great lover of this sport. Yes, he is a great sportsman, athlete and scholar and “one of the boys when the song is “Hail! Hail! the gangs ull here. KYLE KEEFE “She sings a pleasing song, says a graceful word, and leaves one pleasantly impressed Member of Basket Ball (3) ; Captain of Basket Ball (4); Block F. Club (3-4); Annual Staff (4); Glee Club (4); Black Cat Club (4). In the last desk on the fourth row in 11 -A neatness reigns. You would need no introduction to the owner, but she is, a sweet looking girl to whom only good nature belongs. She has the reputation of being very quiet but several of her teachers can testify that the cat has left at least a piece of her tongue. Kyle is a giggler, also a musician. Ask the Basket Ball girls what they think of their captain and you will see her ability as a leader ELIZABETH LAKE “Grace is in her step, Heaven in her eye. In every gesture, dignity and love” Dee-Dee. to those who know her. with her dainty, and lovable way. has won a place in each of our hearts. Since a certain one of our class-mates moved away, she has helped to keep the roads busy between Florence and Charleston. Her hearty laugh reveals a jolly nature. SAMUEL HOW ARB McCALL “Mac” Time, place and action may with pains be wrought, Hut genius must be born, and never can be taught President Literary Society (4); Assistant Business Manager Annual Staff (3) ; Business Manager Annual Staff (4) ; Safety Matches (4) ; Busy Bee Club (4); Sans Souci Club (4); Bo’s Club (4). Howard does not say much but when be does say something, we all stop to listen, for it is generally well worth bearing. He is gentle in manner and always courteous. Although it is said that he is a hater of the fair sex, they don't seem to shun him at all. As Business Manager we shall send him forth to conquer as he will. Inez is one of our “old reliables'. Notwithstanding bad weather, tire punctures or what not she is here to answer “present.” Being from the country, she is more interested in Tomato Clubs than in dancing, so needless to say “Virtue is its own reward.” Ruth is our star pupil. Although she has been with us only three years, she has always won first place on the Honor Roll. There are always some people who are diligent, unohstinate and yet splendid withal. We admire Ruth and we predict that some (lay Brother Jerry will he known as “Ruth Moore's brother.” ROBERT FRANKLIN MORRISON It's a long, long nay to Raleigh, Rut my heart's right there.” Assistant Cheer Leader (2); Cheer Leader 13-4); Literary Editor Florentine (2); Joke and Art Editor (3); Detail Editor (4); Member Safety Matches (4); Member Glee Club (4� ; Honorary Member Black Cat Club (4). “Snowball. “Possum” or Franklin, if you please, is the proud possessor of these nick-names, a Chandler car. a set of unrivaled ambitions, the most important of which are to be a great writer, to be president, to ! e supreme judge, and to get married. May he attain them! Franklin's favorite period of History is the Golden or Elizabethan Age. HAZEL R. OSTEEN “What man dare, dare. Member Basket Ball (4); Annual Staff (3) ; Class Lawyer (4) ; The Black Cats. President 14); Ouija Board Club (4). Hazel —ever a good s|M rt and most dependable pal. Bright, vivacious, versatile, with accomplishments that extend from expert horsemanship, drawing sketches for the Annual, to - sh—sh—whisper! The art of winning all the teachers of Florence Hi by the simple expenditure of a gallon of gasoline and, “Won't you ride with me?” EDWARD JIJLIEN PENDERGRASS 7is time to leave the books in dust And oil the unused armor's rust. Member Annual Staff 4 ; Member Foot Ball Team (1-2-3-4); Member Base Ball Team (1-2-34); Member Sans Souci Club (4); Member Bo's Club (4); Member Busy Bee Club (4) ; Secretary Literary Society (4). Here’s to Pendy, our war veteran. He is one of our all-round reliables. He can dance, he can sing (Peg 0 My Heart) and he can sure play foot ball, being called even by his opponents “one of the best ends in the state. We do not know' what Ed will do after he receives his hard earned diploma, whethter he will join the Navy again or : ettle down to life on the farm at Claussens. WILLIAM FULTON PENDERGRASS “Rubber “Peanut” “The wisest man the world er saw, He dearly loves the lassies O' Member of Busy Bee (4); Member Safety Matches (4); Member of Bo’s Club (4). Fulton has been with us all through his school career. His love affairs have been many, but so far his heart is whole. When it comes to debating. we have a lawyer outright. We are disturbed about Peanut politics, for we hear instead of possessing a truly democratic spirit he prefers to be ruled by Kings. MARY McIVER SCOTT “To be beloved is all I need And whom I love, love indeed Member Annual Staff (4); Member Tennis Club (4) ; Member Ouija Board Club 4 ; President Match Maker of Safety Matches (4) ; Member Black Cats (4); Member Mary Club (4); Member Glee Club 3 ; President Glee Club (4). Mary, the talker, the dancer, the laugher, the singer, and the coquette is always the leader when it comes to talking. She is glad this is Leap Year, for she likes the idea of “Chasing” the boys. Mary gets fun out of everything, and one of her favorite , expressions is, Oh, I bad the most wonderful time!” She is very popular among her school-mates and others and is altogether irresistible, enthusiastic and witty. RUEBUSH GEORGE SHANDS “One who never turned his back, but marched breast forward.” Busy Bee (4). Sept.. 16. 1919 is a date that we the class of 1920 long remember, for on this day “Bushy” joined us Since then he has established himself favorably with every member of our class, especially many of the fair sex, with whom it is said he made quite a bit through Christmas correspondence. He is a man of sincerity, determination and grit. Sliands. we are sure, will “get there.” MARY GILLESPIE SHIPP “O what a pal was Mary. Class Historian l24 : Member Basket Ball Team (3-4); Memlier Class Basket Ball Team (3-4); Block I. Club (3-4); Literary Editor Annual (4); Safety Matches Club (4); Black Cat Club (4); “Mary Club (41. Here is a faithful Southcner, who tells us that the Mason and Dixon Line should be erased. Yankee land is all right,” says Mary. When it comes to themes, be it an autobiography., a sermon, a debate of “just a bit of local color,” Mary has the goods. Surely some day we shall see her listed with the editorial stall of the Literary Digest, I he Worlds Work, or who can tell, perhaps maybe even The Florence Daily Times. LOUISE AUGUSTA STANTON “When joy and duty clash, Let duty go to smash ” Louise is a member of that formidable back-seat bunch who sends all its energy learning French. (?). Although occasionally we get a glimpse of a temper beneath her calm exterior, Louise is always ready to do something for somebody else. WINNIE GRACE STEELE “Skeet” “Music hath charms.” Music Director (4) ; Secretary and Treasurer Glee Club: Member Bee Hive (4). We, the Senior Class, are proud to possess the musician of F. II. S. Grace is not only a genius in music but also in Domestic Art. Getting a hundred on cuff models is just as easy for her as giving a rendition of Chopin. We predict that some day the musical world will hear of Grace. CHARLES MAYNARD WATERS “Stud” uVeni vidi, vici.” President Literary Society (4): Annual Staff (3-4); Member Foot Hall Team (1-2-3 4); .Captain Foot Hall Team (3-4) ; Member Hasket Hall Team (1-3-4); President Sana Souci Club (4); Member Bo’s Club (4) : Member Glee Club (4) ; Member Block F. (1-2-3-4). Kind reader, permit me to introduce to you one of the best-natured and most optimistic members of the class of 1920. “Stud” never worries and therefore is often late to school on very cold mornings, but don’t blame him,—blame the weather. He is a great foot ball and basket ball star, and as captain of the former for the last two years has made an enviable record. Carolina. Furman, Chapel Hill, which one of you will capture our athletic prize? Lillie Ada has it on” all of us in hair-dressing— noi a strand out of place and every hairpin cleaves to her head. This little person has won her way into all the masculine hearts, and it is whispered about that she has a string of scalps two miles long. She may he seen any day about an hour after school riding along in her King with certain members of the other sex. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY “Well,” said Father Time, “this is 1920, and my special friends, those kids that began when old 1910 was alive, graduate this year. I think I’ll appoint 1920 to see about them. I suppose 1 may well raise all those years from the dead just for to-night. They ought to be pretty good historians.” Enter 1910-11. “Father Time, the members of this class began their educational career when a crowd of little tots, holding tightly to their mother’s hands, gathered in Central School and were duly matriculated. Mrs. Jones, having settled Gibbons and Edwin in their rooms, turned to leave, when lo! a storm broke. Gibbons ran wildly to her yelling, “Don’t leave me, Mamma. Fm scairt. Don’t leave me.” Edwin, the elder was horrified, being then a nice child. Enter 1911-12. “In our years they passed upward in the pursuit of knowledge, and Bobby Jones took the front of the stage. Y ou have a speaking acquaintance with Bobby, have you not?—starring even through the ninth line of the multiplication table.” Enter 1912-13. “In our term of office they gradually lost their timidity. One day a lady came and taught them a little song: “In 1920, there’ll be prohibition plenty.” At a little entertainment they sang it in the presence of all the deities, Miss Barber, Mr. Brooker, etc. Mary Scott disgraced them by yelling out, “That’s the year we graduate. Oh, goody!” Even in those days Mary could not keep her tongue still.” Enter 1913-14. “They were Sixth Graders now in all their glory. This year Louise Calais and Ed Pendergrass led the Honor Roll. Think of it.” Enter 1914-15. “In our time little happened, but they marched steadily onward, their faces toward their goal, High School.” Enter 1915-16. “Mrs. Brunson and Miss Hard had them this year, but in spite of that they became adepts in the gentle art of eating, which art caused them many a long and weary ‘after-two’ session.” Enter 1916-17. “Father Time, those last years have been but a fore-runner, for this class, of years of trials and tribulations, but in the due course of events they became High School pupils. They became acquainted with Latin, Science, flunking and Fessor. Who is Fessor? Why Fessor is a combination of St. George and the dragon. Their imaginations became enthralled by the grandeur and dignity of Miss Florrie, and their souls walked on tiptoe before her.” 'ip Enter 1917-18. “The Class of 1920 was now Sophomore, with all that term implies. They all remember this year because “Count Morrison was added to their list of brilliants, but, Father Time, do you think he is Count or , o-count? The flirt, Miss Bass, also joined them, and—look out, young man.” Enter 1918-19. “Our gracious Father, we, the years of 1918 and 1919, do jointly claim the honor ol the golden age of this history. The class now very wise—or otherwise. Algebra and Spelling became “old acquaintances, not forgot.” These juniors were in their prime, for did they not have the joy of being upper classmen, and yet this year was unmarred by the sadness of parting. Miss Brown taught them French, but departed this life to live happily ever after in Virginia. The class was well represented in athletics, and claims the honor of that superb foot-ball player, Captain Waters. They helped pul the Annual through, for the good managers. DeLeon Finklea and Howard McCall, and others were of their number. Father Time, as my last request, I, 1918, before I sink again into oblivion, beg that you will heap down maledictions on the heads of Meeks, Byrd and Fraser for the offenses of tests, buttonholes and themes by the wholesale. Commencement once more, and they are Seniors! Enter 1920. “My beloved Father, I, 1920. being still alive, deserve the last and best, for this is distinctly my class. I feel that my class is capable of great things and am proud to record the history of this its last and best year. My class, it is true, is conceited, colossally so, and are fully aware of their seniority, but. Father Time, you have missed it all by not being a Senior in Florence High School. They walk in the front door, they add dignity, they have privileges, they wear class rings, they are looked up to, and woe to the one who tries to deprive them of a whit of their seniority. Observe an outrage of Fessor. Louise Gregg and Ada Wilkins are proudly entering the front door when Fessor, his hair bristling and his eyes snapping, encountered them and did not recognize them as Seniors! ’Tis true, he apologized, profusely.” “The class, being too large for one room, had to be divided, and before they realized the truth of “United we stand,” 11-A and 11-B did not live exactly in peace and harmony. Their president, Mr. Barnes, called a meeting and in all his dignity instructed them how they should act toward one another. “Miss Stallings with her propositions became something of a proposition herself this year, but was solved with smiles and perseverance. Mr. Brown and his chemistry are all very well for the boys, but my charming young ladies? ? ? “And so, my class has come to graduation, and I, 1920, do hereby declare it to be the largest, best, smartest and wisest class that has ever graduated.” “Well,” said Father Time, “my years, your have done well, and I congratulate you on your Class of 1920.” Mary Shipp, Historian CLASS PROPHECY Time, in its ceaseless course rolled onward to 1930, the third time in the twen-tieth century for taking the census, and exactly ten years after the graduation of my high school class. That year the government thought it necessary to have some one inspect the records of the enumerators, so 1 was appointed to that position, much to mv satisfaction and delight, because I would have a chance to learn what fortune had befallen my former classmates, who were widely scattered. Since 1 was located in California, this became my starting point. First I called on Gibbons Jones, the handsome movie star, whose bewitching smile had made the hearts of many impressionable girls beat too rapidly. Among the chorus girls in the studio were Amelia McClenaghan and Jennie Barnwell, two expert toe dancers. That night as I was coming out of a large movie theater. 1 ran into George Brothers, another old classmate. He said he was running the theater and then I remembered his fondness for the silent drama. Traveling on across the continent, I stopped to see Bass at her highly improved dairy farm. She was talking to her husband, who was—but 1 will leave you to guess. You would never have thought that she was once a society belle. A little farther on was a country store where you could buy anything from rouge to parts for a Ford. The proprietors of this remarkable store were Thelma Husbands, Mary Alice Reaves, and Azolee Powell, old classmates. In St. Louis, I went to see the largest cigar and chewing gum factory in the world, which was owned by Howard McCall and Edward Pendergrass. In connection with this factory was another, owned by Nat Hicks, who had invented a cheaper method for manufacturing kisses. 1 was informed that he was very popular in society. At last 1 reached New York and went to the Metropolitan to hear the latest singers, who proved to be Mary Scott and Edith Gee. They were receiving great applause and 1 heard that much of their success was due to their press agent, Ruebush Shands, who had proved untrue to the old saying, “Farmers always go back to the hay.” I next caller! on Hazel Osteen, who was giving dancing lessons to the spoiled darlings of the very rich. Her exceedingly valued assistant was R. B. Hare. Three other old classmates were living in New York and were easily found because of their noted Home for Aged Cats and Poodles. These three were Flora Burch, Tarquita Fulton and Mary Hubbard. Leaving New York. 1 went to Washington to see the first woman president of the United States, Florence Funk. It made me proud to think that one of our class should have that honor. While in Washington, I saw Ruth Moore, a leading society lady, flirting scandalously with a married man. Walking down one of the most fashionable streets one day I met a man peddling shoes. Your can imagine I was surprised when I recognized Franklin Morrison, whose ambition had always soared so high. Richmond was my next destination where I stopped to see Eva Farmer, who had married a man only five feet tall, but 1 could plainly see that his wife's size did not interfere with his losing her. Edwin Jones was very hard to locate, but will not be surprised when you learn that he was serving a sentence on the chain-gang in punishment for violating the game laws by fishing for Bass when the season was over. Reaching the great metropolis of Olanta 1 saw Louise Stanton and Margaret Commander running the trolley cars of that city, but business did not seem to be thriving. Arriving in Charleston 1 completed the inspection of my territory, and was ordered abroad to compare with the records of this country with those of foreign nations. This gave me an opportunity to learn the whereabouts of the remainder of my class. Then I took the great ocean liner, “Robert Jones,” for Brazil. This ship was named for its brave captain, and I met another old classmate on the voyage, Inez McPherson, who was chief cook. Arriving at Rio de Janeiro I went to see the firm of Harllee, Pendergrass and Co., but was amazed to find that Edwin Cohen was “silent partner.” Fulton told me that at that time they were selling false teeth to the natives. As Brazil was extremely warm I was very glad to leave for England the next day. 1 reached London just in time to hear a great speech made in Parliament by Lady Sutherland, whom we knew as Mary Shipp. Her most formidable rival in politics, I heard was Elizabeth Gregg. While in London I was vastly entertained by a negro minstrel composed of several Americans, whom I knew. These were Laurence Fraser, Paul Barnes and DeLeon Finklea. Grace Steele was also a member of the company and I later learned that she had married the manager. In Paris I had no difficulty in finding Frank Cottingham, for the beautiful gowns that he had designed were famous the world over. 1 could not leave France without seeing Monte Carlo, so 1 went there one night and was overjoyed to see Kyle Keefe and Elizabeth Lake, cabaret dancers who had come sightseeing also. They told me that Louise Calais, Lu-cile Cole and Anne Peyre Brunson were in Egypt, but refused to say what they were doing there. As my curiosity was aroused. I hastened to find them. They met me at Cairo and said they were searching for old historical tablets written by Cleopatra. Can you imagine it? Since my allotted time for taking the census was nearing a close I went on to see Charles Waters, a missionary in Japan. He seemed devoted to his work and was ably helped in his great work by Ada Wilkins. Thoroughly exhausted, I boarded a ship for home and was delighted to reach California after all my wandering over the globe. Now I submit to you the history of my travels and the occupations of each member of the illustrious class of 1920. LOUISE GREGG. Class Prophet. CLASS WILL H. R.

Browne, Jr. Miss Gertrude Meares Miss Annie May Gentry Mr. Paul Parks ATHLETICS 1919-1920 The results of the athletic activities of the schools so far have been very pleasing. When the session began the boys and girls began the work with their usual energy and interest. Immediately after the opening of school in September, large squads reported for practice and were on tip-toe for the start. Coach Browns took charge of the football boys and found that his charges both wanted and needed heavy work. Eight letter men of 1918 were back and a good number of new men and subs of former years. After the preliminary training the team was organized and began regular training for the grind ahead. The boys realized that the record of three consecutive Championships ahead of them was a strong incentive to hard, earnest work and at the same time they felt that the record must not be broken by them. Coach Browne, too, saw the possibility of repeating—making it “four-in-a-row” and drove the squad at full speed. The result of the seasons work shows that both Coach and boys did their work well. At first the manager found it hard to get practice games hut completed the schedule by taking on “prep” schools, etc. The first game was with Mullins which was won easily 25 to 0. A week later Mullins was again defeated 7 to 0. The Mullins boys showed wonderful improvement tfnd a positive drive in this second game. A week later our old friends from the Charleston High School came over and gave us a stiff fight—score Florence 7, Charleston 0. These close scores served their purpose. Coach Browne but a little more grind in the daily practices and became more determined than ever to ‘‘keep the record straight.” His boys responded as usual. The result was seen in the next game when the strong Porter Military A-eademy boys were forced to bow to the prowess of the Purple and Gold. The local lads taking the big end of a 7 to 0 score. At mid-season the team had not been scored on and outlook was bright. The finishing touches were put on for the really important games ahead which would determine the Pee Dee Championship and Pee Dee representative for State honors. In the big Pee Dee Fair game, Sumter came over to play for the championship of the Pee Dee. This game was in keeping with the other big Pee Dee hair games. Before an immense crowd, on a perfect foot ball day, the Florence lads “repeated”—ran away from Sumter by the decisive score of 13 to 7, and with the victory, won the handsome cup given hy the Pee Dee Fair Association for the Pee Dee Championship. The game was a good one, however, and showed Sumter as the first South Carolina high school team to score a touch down against the locals in three years—since 1916. The team was now at top-form and in good condition to face the two important games with Columbia and Orangeburg. Columbia was making a determined fight for the Pee Dee title. However, they, too, had to admit defeat in a hard game—score 6 to 3. Orangeburg came next and proved easy, the score being 25 to 0. These games gave Florence a clear title in the Pee Dee section. All efforts were centered in getting “fit” for the State 'cnentinny Championship game at the University of South Carolina. A practice game was arranged with the strong University “Thirds”. The locals won 13 to 7. Then it was to await instructions from the University. The intervening time was utilized by Coach Browne in putting the boys in trim to meet the winners from the Piedmond. The University of South Carolina, however, found that no team up-state had a clear title to that section and that Florence was the only undefeated high school in the State, so awarded the locals the State Championship without further contest. Thus came to the Florence High School its fourth consecutive State Foot Ball Championship, and Sylvan Cup. Coach Browne and his boys had maintained the standard entrusted to them. While the foot ball boys were at work the girls were not idle. Basket Ball practice was begun early. The illness of Miss Meares, who had won two consecutive State Championships with with her two former teams, took her away from the team for many weeks. Mr. Parks took her place and began the work. He found every player who began the State Championship game the former year absent—all having graduated last June. However, a large number of last years seconds and many new players were on hand. The class teams were organized first and after full training the inter-class games for the Currin cup were played. The rivalry was intense and much good work in developing the schools team was done incidently. After the series, it was found that the Juniors had won the much coveted Currin cup for the session. Following the class games the regular practice for the varsity skuad was continued regularly. Mr. Parks soon saw good prospects of defending the record made in former years. After the team was thoroughly trained, the first game was played with Lamar, a team that had already won an imposing string of consecutive victories. The locals won easily, 45 to 15. It was evident now that Florence would again have a strong Girls Basket Ball team. Our next game was with our old rivals and neighbors in Darlington. The game was a spirited one and played hard all the way as is the custom when the teams from these two schools meet. It resulted in another victory for Florence, 43 to 15. A week later the strong Memminger School team came up from Charleston and lost 30 to 9. This was the first game between the two teams and was a good one to enable the coaches to form an opinion of the strength of the team. With this game Miss Meares left us finally, after many years of efficient work. Coach Parks continued, however, and later bad Miss Gentry to aid him. The Memminger game was the last for many weeks. The schools were closed by the Influenza quarantine and all practice abandoned. When work was assumed the team was again organized and the manager sought other games. Many teams of the section had disbanded and it seemed that the season would have to end. McColl, however, had developed a strong team and was in the race for the championship. Under instructions from the University of South Carolina, two games were arranged with the McColl to determine the Pee Dee Championship. Both were won by the Florence team, score 40 to 19 and 36 to 12. So, for the fourth consecutive season the local team has won the Pee Dee title and will represent-our section in the championship contest at the University, this spring. After the close of the foot ball season the boys turned to Basket Ball too. Mr. Parks took charge of the squad and found all of his last years squad back, save three. After several weeks practice the first game was with Camden. This was won 32 to 12. A week or two later the same teams met again and the locals got a 2 to 0 forfeit victory. These games with one won from Mullins, 27 to 19, were, in fact, practice games for the hard games ahead. Two played with Sumter and one with Columbia. With Sumter the first was lost 27 to 14 while the second was won 21 to 19. Columbia took the one game played them, 27 to 25. This showing against Columbia’s strong team was remarkable when it is remembered that boys basket ball is in its infancy here. So the boys record for the season is four won and two lost. Coach Parks and his beginners have made a good record. In the games with Columbia and Sumter, both Championship contenders, they have made a good record. With Sumter they have a tie and with Columbia they lost by only one goal. With more experience the basket ball boys should be “out-in-front.” With the close of basket ball the boys have now turned to base ball and track work. Track work is new to us but the material is abundant. The same boys who have forged to the front in other lines of athletics are on hand and should do excellent work in this field also. Coach Parks lias a big squad on hand and will soon have lines on the ones who can “show the way.” The base hall outlook is encouraging. Eight of last years Championship team is on hand reinforced by many candidates. Some of last years subs and several new men. Chisolm Wallace is not here to pitch the team to another State Championship. He is now pitching for the University of South Carolina. However, a number are out showing Coach that they can do the work. From among them, he will find a pitcher and with the record of last years team as an incentive the season should be an interesting, successful one. The schedule is now being arranged but the first game will not be played for several weeks. All in all, the season has been most interesting and helpful. Many more pupils are taking part in the activities from year to year. Tennis courts and volley ball courts have been provided and the play ground has been a lively spot each afternoon. With the high school development that is under way there will be provided full gymnasium, play ground, and athletic field activities and it is hoped to have all the pupils interested and active in the physical training so necessary to the full development of the boy and girl into the stronger and better man and woman.

THE BANQUET AT BOY'S “And all went merry as the marriage bell.” One dull morning in Chapel, while we were all trying not to die of ennui, an eventful announcement was made by Fessor. lhe business men were going to give the athletic teams a banquet! ! ! The athletic teams sat up and looked dazed, while the others looked as if Heaven had suddenly opened and then closed before their very eyes. What a time Snowball. Charles, Belva and Kyle had getting up the list. ’t ou d hear some young lady say disdainfully', “Oh, I wont go with him. I wanta go with------,” and some young man, “Oh, I ain’t er-going with her. Good night. But finally it was settled to the pleasure, or displeasure, of all concerned. By decree we met at the school house at nine o’clock, and the usual male gatering at the top of the steps, eyeing all newcomers was something of an ordeal To bashful young ladies, and rather embarrassing to their escort. We had not eaten much for supper, and it has been said that Rivers, Joe and Gibbons walked around the bend to insure their appetite. It appeared later that the bend was a good appetizer. At the school house we were entertained by the fancy dances of Werblum and others. Our sense of the aesthetic may have been strong, hut our sense ol hunger was rapidly becoming stronger when it was announced that the feast was in readiness for the “banqueters.” Many and wild had been the speculations concerning etiquette, spoons, courses and waiters. Being young and unversed in the way of the world, there were quite a few of us who stood a great deal in awe of those pompous looking individuals. Roy’s was beautiful in purple and gold, and the long tables in the rear had been reserved for us, with our athletic laurels in the shape of loving cups resplendent upon them, made a picture not to he forgotten soon. We found our places by cards, the teachers at the first table, the captains next, and so on down to the insignificant scrubs. Our first course was mostly style, “sardines mashed up on old light bread, said Belva, while the next was “Milk toast,” according to I.eize Scott. Marie, glancing around at the endless array of dishes, breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a heartfelt manner, “Oh, ain’t it grand we don’t have all these dishes to wash. Annie Peyre told her mother later she wasn’t much on style, and eating oysters encased in sweet cakes didn’t appeal to her very much. Ed Pendergrass says Mary Shipp ate her soup with her dessert spoon, but that was just because 1—, 1 mean Mary, saw Ed try to take a plate of rolls out of the waiter’s hand and assist him in passing them. The waiter gently hut firmly refused to surrender them. Ellerbe Smith and Ox Fraser added to the evening by the latest thing in laughing. Between courses we were entertained by' Alpheus Neely. Hotel proprietors and Resturant managers, here is a coming waiter. The next morning, when clearing off the tables, the waiters found on one of the tables two cards with these inscriptions: Mrs. James Johnston,” “Mrs. Franklin Morrison.” Do you suppose there were any secret marriages? But, as James and Franklin talked to joe Blount and Marvin Humphries most of the evening none of us can imagine who the favored young ladies are. Vt e were all plebeians in taste, and Nat professed a desire to save all his things up and put ’em in one plate. Few of us lasted till coffee, but the last we saw of some, they were hard at drinking black coffee plus style. It was after twelve when the last course was finished (if the banquet accomplished nothing else, it taught some of us that “course” is not a sort of material or a race track), and then came the crowning glory—the toasts, which furnished a diversion from the thoughts of food. Charles’ beautifully written speech faded from his mind as he rose, for he had become the victim of an overwhelming attack of strange fright. “We wish to thank—er—” “Teachers and coaches,” shouted Paul from two tables away. It came over to us that Charles would rather play foot-hall than to make speeches. Kyle, profiting by Charles’ example, did not release her written notes, so she at last got through the trying ordeal, though we haven’t heard her yet. We, the honored ones, who partook of the banquet, wish to express here our appreciation and enjoyment of it, and we thank the men of Florence at whose generous suggestion it was brought about. SUMMER The birds are singing in the trees, The flowers are swaying in the breeze. Lovers walk 'neath a boner of roses. Children play in a field of poises— Tis summer Roses are blooming in gardens rare. Green grass is growing everywhere, The bees are sipping from the flowers, Butterflies flirt in day-light hours— Tis summer The brook is singing a little song, The sheep are browsing the whole day long, Little boys are wading in the creek. Little girls are playing “Hide and Seek — Tis summer The squirrels leap from tree to tree. They seem so full of fun and glee. The apples and peaches are turning red. The sky is a lovely blue overhead— Tis summer Music is wafted on the breeze. Grasshoppers are leaping 'mid the leaves, The sunset is golden at close of the day, Night comes, so the fairies can play— Tis summer. V. A., ’23. The Yellow Jacket Florence, S. C.

Jarlev's presentation of her famous and instructive wax-works. A large ifrowd greeted Mme. Jarley’s first appearunce in this city. Mme. Jarley. portrayed by Miss Jennie McCurry. a very handsome woman, captivated all present. Her charming French accent and gestures were irresistible as were her witty speeches. Henri and John, her porters, were models of all that good porters should be, alert and pleasing in appearance. The wax-works, about twenty in number performed with charming mechanism.

Finklea A. Brunson P. Barnes J. McCurry M. Hhipp E. Jones R. Jones M. Ragsdale Rates: “Two-bits monthly in advance BY THE WAY The fellow who wrote about these care free high school days, we want to inform you was never a member of the staff of his high school annual or newspaper. For almost a month we have been pegging away at our annual, trying to get it in shape for the engravers and we want to tell you that it's no “cinch.

JUST IN PASSING Bobby Jones in his debate calls the ladies the fairer sex. Docs he mean that the other sex is fair? Did you know! That music is the weapon with which man in the countless ages of humanity has chisled down the rough and ragged edges of civilization, etc., etc., etc. Isn't it about time some of the members of the Junior Class coined a new expression? “Sho-nuff has served its day- 11-B should be a happy room, not a pane in it—that is, not in the windows. “Music soothes the raging heart,” so ih? poet says. Was that the reason Ed Jones was asked to sing for Frank Cottingham? Much to the disgust of and in spite of the threats of various and sudry of bur rivaling high schools. Florence is still winning championships. It is generally known that Nat Hicks is a successful man of business, but we never suspected that he secretly met them at the post-office, and girls from Mullins at that. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE FORTUNATE FOR THE REALM OF FASHION The year 1920 is divisible by four therefore, it is a leap year. Most of you UNMARRIED MAN Split skirts have been accepted and worn effectively by Miss Haig and other girls of Florence High.

These slaves of fashion could economise by the interchange of apparel. Lady Etta Byrd’s latest models tend to be very severe.

Just a word about the latest in men's apparel. The most dashing neck wear is ways the man of their dreams (but some of these dreams remind us of night-mares) by any means possible, for “all is fair in Love and War, and it's u combination of the two when a young damsel of fifty pursues. So. for the benefit of the survivors of the conquest of 1916, we wish to make these few suggestions, knowing that “a word to the wise is sufficient.’' 1. When in the presence of the pursuing sex, never boast of any possession, being displayed by Mr. Jack Cults, while It might be “the very thing she has al- the most daring shirts may be observed on ways wanted. 2.

For further information refer to Frank Coltingham's famous article, “How to Repel the Ladies. RECORDER’S COURT Several cases were brought before the Recorder yesterday. Nothing of importance happened, and the following is the record: Charles M. Waters was fined thirty days or sixty dollars for turning a corner, at great speed, on two wheels while driving the hearse. Leizc Scott. Graham Rose, Lida Winn, Yancey King and Manning Brunson twenty days or thirty dollars for coming in the front door. They were arresled by Police-! man Briggs. Mr. R. E. Brown was fined five hundred dollars for using slang in the school room. Mr. Briggs thirty dollars or sixty days for speeding down Dargan Street. Miss Florence Murchison was fined ten dollars or twenty days for carrying concealed lip sticks. Miss Murchison paid the fine and was dismissed. the person of Mr. Edwin Jones. Prof. W. C. Sullivan, our “Beau Brum-met of today, has recently done away with his Stetson and donned an attractive snugly fitting cap. - We notice he makes a large following among the sports of the community. However, it is rumored that Mr. Paul Barnes, one who seeks comfort rather than style, has recently purchased a derby for high dress. HI SPIRIT High school spirit, the spirit of youth is that mysterious thing which causes boys and girlss to unite forces, whether the objective to obtain an education, to win a state championship or to play a practical joke on the faculty. During the recent war this spirit was frequently tested by Red Cross work, the sale of government securities and many other war activities. This spirit of cooperation and action will surely have its effect on our national poliitics in the future. F. H. S.

During the four years Florence has scored 798 points to 150 for opponents. In the con tests with other South Carolina high schools the score has been 751 for Florence to 38 for its opponents. During the four years the Florence team has scored a total of 119 touchdowns, while its opponents have scored only 21 touchdowns, two field goals and one safely. Counting purely the South Carolina high schools the total is Florence 112 touchdowns to opponents 5 touchdowns. 2 field goals. In 1916 Darlington and Charleston scored one touchdown each, while Chester scored two in the state championship game. In 1917 Columbia high scored one goal from the field. In 1919 Sumter scored one touchdown and Columbia again scored a field goal. The football teams from this school are not the only winners. The girls won the basketball championship of the state on the university court in 1918 and again in 1919. The baseball team won the state championship in 1919 on the university field.

Those who attended were entertained at the homes of Mrs. Jones, Mrs. T. P. � Haynesworth and Mrs. W. J. Wilkins. At Mrs. Jones’ the miscellaneous boxes, i provided by the girls, were auctioned off ' by P. V. Parks, which furnished much i excitement and amusement for the guests. Mr. W. C. Sullivan, otherwise known as “Sully”, purchased a large box for three dollars and fifty cents, and upon opening it to examine its precious contents, found that it contained a five cent tomato sandwich. After the crowd had disposed of a great many ice cream cones in a remarkably short time, they betook themselves to Mrs. Haynesworth’s. Here was introduced the wonderful game, so the boys thought, known as “l eap Year Progressive Conversation. The girls made dates with the boys, helped them up and down the steps, and held their coats for them. They carried out this new role with the grace that reminded one of the manners and grace of the old time Southern “Gentleman.” At a side table in the reception hall. Miss Bryan and Mr. Parks sold punch and cake to those who were not already financially “busted”. At Mrs. Watkins, the guests enjoyed a few hours of dancing, and those who were not capable of the art. were entertained by looking on or by pairing off on the piazza. After the guests had departed, the profits were counted amounting to $40.23. which •left the Girls’ Basket Ball in much better shape, financial I. to play Charleston. J. A. K. and J. M. M.

One gind, when they wish to get something, sit down and long for it, the other kind just pull up their belts a hole tighter and go after it. N'o man can dodder along half-heartedly and then expect a miraculus change in the twinkling of an eye to an individual with personality, punch, perseverance and the plucg to work when it comes to the serious business of making a way in the world. Play the game hard, but play it fair. Win if you can, lose if you must. But take defeat without a whimper and come bacg smiling for another chance. Victory that comes through a conscious endeavor, self-disciplin and the honest use of brains and skill is worth all that it costs.
