Volume 9 Published by FLORENCE HIGH SCHOOL Florence, S. C. FOREWORD Youth, with its joys, its sunshine, with its friends and its frolics, is a thing we all cherish: and it has been the privilege of the staff to try to gather into the FLORENTINE the golden memories of the pleasures and the sweet associations of our High School years, which, when we are scattered in Life’s School, may bring back once more in a flood of sweet remembrances, the faces and the scenes clustering about our happy days in F. H. S. In sincere love and appreciation we dedicate this book to the memory of MARY MOORE our beloved classmate, whose high ideals, noble aspirations, brilliant intellect, and sweet, friendly smile will be a lasting inspiration and influence. dedication Contents Our School The Faculty Seniors Under Classes Activities Features Athletics Ads g)ur fMool Roard of Trustees 4 R.

Page Forty Qlass 'Poem Outward d ound A rosy dawn arises bright; The Future paints the skies with light: A call is on the air, A challenge of the world beyond. A trumpet call that bids each one To rise, to do, to dare. The seas of life before us roll; There're hopes and dreams that thrill the soul; Our ship rides on the swell. But the breeze that fills the snowy sails May strengthen into ominous gales, When we have said farewell. Farewell. High School, the peaceful port Where laughter, pleasure, fun. and sport Made light with song the way. Farewell, classmates, with whom we’ve wrought The tasks and bright illusions brought By each succeeding day. Farewell, each teacher, kindest guide, Who. loving duty, ever tried To mold our minds with care; To lead us on toward wisdom’s star, That, gleaming brilliantly afar. Will crown with jewels rare. The breezes beckon us to sea; Unfurl the banner ours to be— The purple and the gold! Though tossed by tempests wild and wide. Our flag shall float above the tide. An emblem glorious, bold. Mary Lee. '23 Class Poet Senior Qlass History Lurline Hicks HERE is no structure in the world like St. Mark’s Cathedral in Venice. Its vast domes and minaret-like belfries remind one of the Orient. Massed in perried ranks are scores of marble columns, each possessing an eventful history. This shrine to God was the treasure-house of Venice—a place of pride as well as of prayer. Here the booty of Venice's conquests were brought. The walls and roof were profusely adorned with mosaic designs, and precious marbles and pictures by famous masters. In the most prominent place in the church is the receptacle of the most precious of its treasures—the body of St. Mark. The Doge's Palace was the brain of Venice: the Grand Piazza was its heart, but this world-renowned cathedral was its soul. Hence one can readily imagine the impression and influence this mighty architectural jewel, which Venice wears upon her tranquil bosom, had upon the Venetians. In Florence, on the corner of Dargan and Elm streets, there is situated an imposing edifice, quite different from St. Paul's Cathedral. But it was built to meet very different demands. The cathedral was built for spiritual purposes, while the Florence High School, that edifice spoken of before, was constructed for educational purposes. To the freshmen who entered the spacious halls of this building in 1924, it was just as imposing as any cathedral ever built by the Venetians. These newcomers explored the interior of high school with as much delight and astonishment as the Venetians crossed the watery deeps of the Mediterranean sea while they were engaged in commerce. In 1924 the Comedy of Errors” was reenacted. The characters were the freshmen, and the stage was the aforesaid High School. The upper classmen took us for a big joke, and our mistaking Mr. Briggs' office for study-hall afforded them much laughter. We welcomed vacation as a way to escape their taunts and jeers. The next September we made quite a big jump. We were no longer ridiculous freshmen, but sophomores. We undertook a minor part in school activities, yet we could not enter the most desirable ones. To become a member of one of the literary societies became our aim. Accordingly we studied hard, and afforded very pliable material for the master hands of the faculty. Our aim was attainable in September, 1926. But hidden among the rose leaves of work well done lay the thorn of separation. Yet this enforced Page Forty-two estrangement only created a friendly rivalry which was destined to develop us into the best junior class of Florence Hi. With the help of Miss Byrd we edited a paper, the Blue J. We viewed this project with an exhilaration equal to that of the Venetians when, after months of hard labor, they had at last constructed the “Bridge of the Rialto.” Another accomplishment was that of our girls’ basket-ball team which proved to be of better quality than the varsity itself. The gala event of our junior year was the junior-senior reception. 1 he Venetians adorned their architectural gems with priceless works of art. Miss Campbell undoubtedly has a Venetian taste for beauty, because she decorated the gym beautifully for the occasion. A splendid program, prepared with the assistance of Miss Child, was rendered. The seniors assured us that they had enjoyed the reception heartily. Just before commencement the marshals were chosen. With Miss Watkins’ help these favored few very creditably managed the crowds at the school house all during that week. This past year we attained the height of dignity, the position of seniors. With our well-chosen officers and enthusiastic teachers we have accomplished many worthwhile things. Now we are ready and well equipped for our career in life. The four years so happily spent in Florence High School have prepared us to the fullest extent for the battle of life. Venice was at her best; the sun was sinking behind the horizon; the gondolas, resting on the glassy surface of the city’s winding waterways, were touched into flame and vividly brought into detail by the slanting rays of the departing planet, and the water softly lapped against the marble palaces with a musical sound. Visitors here,’at this twilight hour, receive a lasting impression and memory of the city’s splendor and majesty which return to delight them in other lands. And we, too, when the sun of life is sinking fast, will be blessed and our last hour brightened by the sacred memories of our high school days. Senior Qlass :Prophecy John Zeigler CATHERINE GANDY answering the doorbell: “Why look who's J here. Come right in. When did you get back? I Olin Cutts: “Oh, it is so good to be back home. Yes, I'll come gl in for a little while, and we can have a little chat about our old - classmates. “Have a seat dear and make yourself comfortable. “Thanks. And before we start talking about our old classmates let me tell you something about my trip abroad. Especially about wonderful Venice. As the circular says. 'Visit this spot of balmy fragrance, this mythical land of gondolas and sweet-voiced singers, this enchanted fragment of a forgotten world.' And that describes it just right. The arched bridges, the marble buildings, the winding streets, are so mysterious, so different. Just like a painting on a bit of Dresden china. The lapping of oars, the beautiful Venetian music, give rest to ears accustomed to the din of reality. Venetia is alone: there can never be another like this old world relic. Paris was gay. festive, and not much different from other cities. Berlin was ‘beer and sausages.’ And I could go on talking forever about the other places of interest in Europe: but let us get back to your suggestion of a few minutes ago. From abroad we came back through New York and guess who I saw there—dancing for Ziegfield? None other than Elizabeth Bowie: and then I saw the Lois-Allen dancers, of which the stars are the partners, Allan Jeffords and Lois Gregg.” “Have you seen the latest picture of Bessie Mae Mims? She is Gloria's successor. Theodore Potter was her leading man. and he is so much like Rudolph Vaselino. Isn’t he, dear?” “I heard Grace Singletary lecture on ‘Why I like Bobbed Hair,' and Dolores Childers on 'Women's Rights.' Dolores wore a stunning gown from Holland's Dress Shoppe. And you know Mercedes Massey, Josephine Grims-ley, and Anna Johnson are all teaching in the same school under that dear Professor Joe Wheeler. I never expected him to turn out like that, did you, dear?” “No. you could have knocked me down with a feather when I heard about it. I went to see Lucille Mims the other day. She has a charming home. Lois McIntosh and Inez Singletary have lovely homes, too.” “Have you visited Katharyn Harper’s 'Modiste Shop?’ Her salesgirls are Caroline White, Lois Youmens. and Mary Harrison.” “I just had some insurance taken out the other day in Bill Simpson's company. and you know he has two stenographers. Jewell Gillian and Julia Tharin. Curtis Summeral has been promoted to general manager of the Southern Bell and Telephone Company, Hunter Wood is in the army, and Urban Patillo is big game hunting, and oh. I have so much to tell you. honey.” “It’s too bad Belle Reid had to give up her promising dancing career, isn’t it? But then Herman always was so attractive. Herman is president of the ‘Laundrymen’s association' now.” “I enjoyed hearing Charlotte Bobbitt, Elizabeth Fetner, and Lurline Hicks in their lyceum recital last week. They made quite a hit. N. B. is delighting radio audiences. Annelle Penny favors radio listeners, too: she sings songs composed by Hannah McCutcheon and Mary Powell. “Paul Gee is secretary to Mr. Vanderbilt, and Ragsdale Hewitt and J. C. McCown have taken up scientific farming.” Pape Forty-tour “Have you seen the huge bridge over Jeffers' Creek yet? It was built by the famous engineer, Wilmer Poynor. B. B. Gilbert is just finishing a skyscraper in New York, and J. B. Forte is starting a bridge across the English Channel.” Cecil Wheeler opens a drug store here Monday and John Severence has become connected with the Peoples’ Bank. Ben Covington is president of it. Don't mention it, dear, but Dame Rumor is linking his name with Amelia’s. She is at present modiste for the Eaddy Evening Wraps.” “Do you take the New York Harvester, Allen Rollin s paper? Mabel Coleman contributes 'How to be an Athlete’ to this paper, and Johanna Hoff-meyer, 'How to Keep That Girlish Smile.’ They are both splendid writers. Mary Lee writes, too, when she is not busy as pianist with the Metropolitan Opera Company. She has written several novels and poems; and has played as accompanist very often for John Wheeler. “Have you tried Evelyn Hodge’s canned goods yet? She and Julia Harris are associates. Mary Lee Hough is one of our best women evangelists and Ed McIntosh is a true successor of Billy Sunday. Don't you agree with me. dear? “I do, but I think that Mary Pearle Haynie is nearly as good as Mary Lee. I'd never have thought that Rudelle Rhinehardt. Myrtle Stackley, and Bonnie Kate Barnes would have entered the political world, though our boys are well represented with Emil Kelly governor, and Raymond Taylor a candidate for re-election to senate.” “Harry Lee Nettles is professor of French at Duke, and Mary Thomas is teaching. Josephine Purdy. Ura Scott, and Virginia Eaddy are foreign buyers for Helen Chandler's Slipper Shop.” “And John Scott and Billy King helped the law when they entered that profession. Washington should be grateful for gettting O. S. Aiken in a diplomatic position.” “Dear, you know when I was touring the country last year I visited Evelyn Ray’s Jewelry Shop in Asheville. While there I stopped at Motie Purvis's hotel. After visiting Asheville, we went to New York and went to see Virginia Craig's Antique Shoppe, and imagine whom I saw there—none other than Margaret Funk herself. You know, now that she has married into the Upperlip family, she has become one of the four hundred and is as charming as ever. While stopping over with her at her Long Island estate, she told me that she had seen Crystal Beard in Europe, touring with a theatrical company, and she said that in Paris she saw LaBruce King, who is our ambassador to France. You know Margaret is a believer in spiritualism (?) astrology (?) and Billy Mixon is her psychic medium.” “Have you read any of George McGown's articles in the Woman's Home Companion? He writes on 'How to Get Rid of Superfluous Flesh.' Emily Brothers contributes to this magazine articles on The Permanent Wave.' Margaret Morris is a fine coach, and wasn't it fine that Arthur Jackson should be left so much money and be able to travel as he is doing? “I always believed that Catherine Sharpe would make a success of photography. She won first prize in the contest to determine the best amateur photographer of the year. “Why, it's six o'clock, and I must be going, dear, as I have to prepare Jim's supper. But I’ll run over some time soon, and we can have another little chat. “I have enjoyed this so much, and I will surely run in to see you soon. Good-bye. dear.” “Bye.” Faye Forty-five Senior Qlass M ill Billie King State of South Carolina. County of Florence.

No man could ever take the place of “Coach” in the hearts of the boys of F. H. S. They know how untiringly he works for the glory of old F. H. S.; how he instills a fighting spirit which is more outstanding in defeat than in victory; and how he teaches the wearers of the purple and gold to ever bear themselves commendably. Because he is a man of high ideals: because he is broad-minded and big-hearted: because he is a real friend and advisor for all the fellows whose lives he touches, we devote this page to him in appreciation and love. Page Eighty-nine Paye Ninety Football The gridiron season opened in September with about forty candidates reporting for practice. Nine of the 26 varsity squad were among the candidates. During the first several weeks Coach’' put his athletes through some very stiff practice. When the opening game approached, all his gridironers were in very good condition. The first game found the Yellow Jackets down at Bamberg. South Carolina, ready for a stiff game with the pigskin boys of the Carlisle Fitting School. The Jackets played a very good game, but were defeated by the heavier Fitting School boys by the score of 15 to 6. The following week the Florence Hi athletes engaged the fast team from the Benedictine School of Savannah. Georgia. They again met defeat to the tunc of 1 4 to 0. The Yellow Jackets who had played two very hard games— even though they were defeated—were now primed to meet all comers. The next game was with the strong Wadesboro Hi aggregation from Wadesboro. N. C. The Jackets emerged from BILLIE Faddy this game victorious by a 3 3 to 0 count. The offensive work Captain by Kelley, as halfback, stood out in the game, along with the defensive work of Faddy, Griffin, and McIntosh in the Florence line. The next few weeks found the Jacket gridiron hard at practice for the oncoming tilts with Columbia and Orangeburg. The next game was with the squad of the Lynchburg Hi. Although the Florence Hornets’’ overwhelmingly defeated the Lynchburg boys by a 91 to 0 score, this game furnished the Rhame athletes some very good practice. Potter was the high score contestant of the game, making 48 of his team's 91 points. The entire Florence line played jam up football, and the I.ynchburg boys were unable to put across a single tally. The following week found the Yellow Jackets pitted against the Garnett and Black boys from Columbia Hi. This contest was staged at the Pee Dee Fair Grounds, and had a decided bearing on the lower State championship. As the time for the game approached, the stands were filled with enthusiastic supporters of both teams. The Purple and Gold team went on the field first and after a short practice the game began. It was a hard-luck day for the Florence Hi athletes, the game going to the Columbia boys by a single touchdown and a 60 to 0 score. The whole Florence team played a very good game, and special credit should be given to the Jacket line for the jam-up game that they played. Hicks was the individual star of the game, and his long runs for considerable gains were features of the afternoon. Gilbert also played a good game in his position as field general. In the next game the Florence Hi athletes defeated Orangeburg by the score of 27 to 6. This was a hard-fought and very interesting game. The work of Faddy. Griffin. Holland and the Nettles brothers was superb. The backfield men also acquitted themselves in a fine manner. In the closing game of the season the Purple and Gold squad travelled down to Charleston—the city by the sea— to engage the Charleston Bantams in a game of football. This game ended in a 0-0 tic. The game was played on a very slow field. The works of Holland. L. Nettles and Kelley were features of the contest. Special credit should be given also to the other members of the varsity squad and to the substitutes, as they were largely responsible for the fine showing that the Yellow Jackets made. It would not be right to forget such men as Lambert. Alphone Smith. ■Runt'' Summcrall. “Boss Taylor. Nig White. Monk Dibble. Private John Wheeler. Seaglc and Bowie. These Jackets furnished the practice to the other members of the squad. Pnyc A’inrtjj one The 27-’28 basket-ball season of the Purple and Gold Yellow Jackets was a very successful one. The Rhamc bas-keteers won 13 out of the 16 scheduled contests. most of these by safe margins. The varsity squad was composed of Captain Gilbert. Wheeler. Kelley. Smith—all veterans of the '26 team—and Summcrall. Summerall was the only new member of the squad, this being his first year in the game. This squad presented team work that was indeed puzzling to the teams which they played. ELIZABETH DANTZLER Other members of the basket- Sponsor ball squad were: H. Nettles. C. E. “Bill Summerall. Ed Dowling. Griffin. McCown. Lambert. Potter and J. Scott. These men were always present to offer their assistance to the varsity squad in the practices and in the several games in which they took part. Captain Gilbert was the outstanding star of the season. His basket tossing with an ever accurate eye accounted for several of his team's victories. He was closely followed by his running mate. “Private John’’ Wheeler. This lad could be depended on to come through in every game. The work of Smith and Kelley as guards also deserves special mention. These Jackets were always in the game and playing hard. Summerall at offensive center and defensive guard worked hard, especially under the basket of the opposing team, and offered valuable assistance to his team mates. B. B. Gilbert Captain :Basket-Ball Pavc Mnetu-tico The season ended one of the most successful that the Yellow Jackets have ever had. baseball 3s The 1928 baseball season has been very successful thus far. We have played a total of twelve games, and emerged winners in ten of this number. We have taken the number of several good teams, which include Hartsville, Darlington, and Lamar. We have already won the sixth and seventh district titles, by defeating Andrews Hi 8 to 1 for the seventh district championship, and defeating Latta Hi 6 to 4 for the sixth district championship. Within just a few days we will play for the lower State championship. Here's luck for the Yellow Jackets of Florence Hi! The varsity team is composed of Captain N. B. Hicks, Thomas. Johnnie Wheeler, Dixon, Ted” Potter, B. B. Gilbert, Cooke, Spee” Boozer, and Lefty 1 aylor, who are backed by an efficient corps of assistants, including Holland, Summerall, Cooper, Forte, Graham, Wilson and Kelley. The squad is managed by Wilmer Poynor, who has proven himself an efficient skipper. The coach is none other than Pilot J. Lee Rhame himself. H. B. Hicks Captain Harriet Holland Sponsor Page Ninety three Cj iris’ zAtfiletics Miss Elizabeth Early Director During the past year much progress has been made by the girls’ gym classes under the capable instruction of Miss Elizabeth Early. Although this is only the beginning of her career. Miss Early has more than proved her ability to meet the task. Not only has she been efficient in directing the gymnasium work but her enthusiastic spirit has furnished inspiration to that relatively large group of girls who are interested in athletics. A contributing factor to this has been Miss Early’s personal interest in her girls and her companionship with them, which has been greatly appreciated. During this year Miss Early has also accented the importance of hockey, a game recently introduced into Florence High School, and one which has rapidly gained in popularity and prominence. If the future can be judged by the past, this sport will make still greater advances in the years to come. tSSL Paye Ninety four grrintiiiAi iimiibui f. j h Football Florence Hi 6 Carlisle .... . ... 15 Florence Hi 0 Benedictine .... 14 Florence Hi 33 Wadesboro Hi .... 0 Florence Hi 91 Lynchburg Hi .... 0 Florence Hi 0 Columbia Hi .... 6 Florence Hi 27 Orangeburg . .... 6 Florence Hi 0 Charleston .... 0 Total 157 Total .... 41 'Basket-Rail Florence Hi 29 Darlington Hi 6 Florence Hi 30 Y.

Dickman Sam Easterling ....... =--- I Payc One Hundred and Seventeen Punch Pluck Personality Perseverance There are two kinds of men in the world to-day, just as there were yesterday and will be tomorrow. One kind, 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. No man can dodder along half-heartedly and then expect a miraculous change in the twinkling of an eye; to an individual with personality, punch, perseverance, and the pluck 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 back smiling for another chance. Victory that comes through conscientious endeavor, self-discipline, and the honest use of brains and skill is worth all that it cost.
