HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS An Autobiography I pushed mv Latin and American History books away. Mv brain was whirling from reading so much about Cicero and Abraham Lincoln. I laid my head upon my writing desk and closed my eyes. W hat happened from then on I do not know. I shall probably never know if it was a dream or not. but something seemed to awake me. and as I raised my head I saw a small, black-haired man enter the room. Across his chest he wore a purple scarf hearing in gold the following inscription: F.H.S. 1938.” ‘‘Hello.'’ I said. “Who are you?” “I am the Class of 1938.” he replied. “Suppose you tell me something about yourself then. I said, for I am the historian of that class and have i een trying to write its history. A far-away look came into his eyes and he remained silent for a while, then slowly he began to speak and this is what he said: “I. the Class of 1938. have reached the last milepost in my high school education. Naturally, as one reaches the end of anything, he muses ujxin the past. So it is with me as I look back over my high school career. “When I entered Florence High School. I was in a fearful state. Oh. that first week I spent here! I was awed at my new school, its faculty, and at my being allowed to choose my own subjects and classes. I was brought almost to tears by the threats of the terrible initiations that I was to undergo. I was embarrassed by tnv many mistakes: going to wrong classes and wrong rooms and breaking every traffic rule of the school. I was mortified by the laughter of upperclassmen that followed such mistakes as these. However long the period of breaking-in seemed to me. it finally passed and I soon realized mv cherished ambition, namely, that of becoming a sophomore. At the beginning of my sophomore year. I elected Sims Crowell president of my class and Miss Mildred Smith, sponsor. How helpful she was in getting me organized into one large body, the sophomore class. Since I was now fully acquainted with the school. I could laugh at the greenhorns, the “freshies . and i P.ige Fnr y-nne THE FLORENTINE their mistakes. Many were the laughs I got out of freshmen since I became a sophomore. Each member of my class now began to pursue his own individual course of study and activities, but I still wasn t satisfied: I envied the privileges of the juniors and seniors and longed for my junior year. Then suddenly, after a welcomed rest of three months. September was u|X)ti me and I became a full-fledged junior. ith Kenneth Sallenger as president, and Miss Alice Brunson as sponsor. I began my junior year. Miss Brunson ably assisted me through this trying jieriod and helped me keep up the traditions of the departed juniors which seemed so far above my head. However. F now began to display my ability in athletics, music, literary societies, and all the other school activities. It was I. as a junior, that published Florence High’s first newspaper Florence Hi Times. How proud 1 am of that honor! I read the first issue so much the lines wore off. In May I made my debut in dramatics and presented the junior class play. Wedding Spells, llv knees certainly shook that night with fear that the plav wouldn t come off well. Hut it did. and with the proceeds from this plav. I 'swung a hot foot’ at the dance given a little later in the spring for the seniors. Now I looked forward to becoming a senior, and ruling the roost. September rolled around again—the last September I would he in Florence High—the beginning of my senior year. To lead me through my last vear. I elected Julien McCall as president of the class and Miss Marie Gregory as sjxinsor. Miss Gregory then threw herself into the sponsoring of mv class and has very successfully guided me hv her hard work through my most important vear. that of mv senior vear. I continued to publish the Florence Hi Times, and it has grown into an excellent school pa|ier under the supervision of its staff and sponsor. Miss Brothers. Before Christmas the samples of rings were exhibited and I made my choice. How hard it was to wait for them! Finally they arrived and teachers would have to call my attention away from the rings, so proud was I of them. I took every op|x rtunity to show them off. Then I presented a new sort of entertainment consisting of the talent in mv class, called Senior Talent.' This proved to lie so |xipular that I gave another exhibition in the spring. I inaugurated the crowning of the Queen of Hearts, a very beautiful pageant, in Februarv. In this same month I presented a fine play of which I am verv proud. ’Taking the Count' was its title. The memliers of the cast will always he remembered for their display of dramatic ability. “Another important event of my senior year was the election of my annual stall. What fun it was getting out of classes to have my picture taken for the annual! I would like to commend the staff and Miss Gregory for the excellent work they have put on this annual. In March and April came the various high school contests in which I brought honor to mv school. Finally came the last high school examinations I would ever have to take. I shouted with joy when they were over and I knew that I had passed. Now comes Commencement and soon the Class of 1938 will be a memory. W ith these last words the little, black-haired man rose, said good-live, walked out of the door and closed it behind him. The doors of Florence High will soon close behind the Class of 1938. hut may each member of the senior class never forget the school in which he secured a most ini|K rtant | art of his education—Florence High School, our Alma Mater. —Lol'ie Jexkixs, Historian.

Frances Stubbs is in charge of the Florence Public Library with Virginia Surls and Edna Mae Street as assistants. In Hollywood, Alex Grimsley. who took Robert Taylor's place, continues to draw large audiences. In his latest picture, produced by Chevcs Powell. Martha Self, who succeeded Greta Garbo is a co-star. Medora Dowdle as chief artist, paints all their scenery. Laurita Singletary is following in the footsteps of Delores Del Rio. and Virginia Covington is interior decorator for most of the wealthy stars' homes. Poor Alvin Graham is still trying to find an opening. The Class of 1938 is also well represented in the field of sports. Coach Reese McCrary and Assistant La Fon Campbell are directors of boxing at the Univer-sitv of Xorth Carolina, while George McKenzie is the retired flyweight boxing champion of the Carolinas. and Hugh Rogers is the wrestling champion of the South.

In the realm of entertainment we have many representatives. Annie Margaret Rainwater is on the concert stage, and Virginia Cox is a member of the Metropolitan ( pera Company. Jacqueline Rouse and Gertrude McXeill are also successful pianists on radio programs. Betsy Lake and Everett Baker, a favorite dance team, have returned to Florence to o] en a dancing school.

Reporting for practice early in the season, forty-five Jackets took the field and buckled down to calisthenics, signal drills, punting, passing, blocking, tackling, and heavy scrimmages. The Jackets of 1937 were led by Captain Carlysle Hutchinson, who played brilliantly at the running guard position. James Blackwell, distinguished end, was Alternate Captain. There were only four lettermen returning. Blackwell. DeBerry. Hutchinson, and McCall. The Florence Hi gridsters opened their ’37 season by dropping a hard fought game to the Wilmington Wildcats by a score of 6 to 0. Both teams battled evenly, hut in the second quarter Edens, of the Cats, scored the deciding touchdown on a line buck. Bensinger, Hicks. Rope. Hutchinson, and Schuyler starred. Florence's High School Yellow Jackets next battled the Carlisle Prep School to a scoreless tie. Two of Florence’s must valued players. Helmly and Hensley, were injured in this game. For the next game, the Jackets clashed with the strong Chester eleven. Both teams played on even terms, but due to a blocked kick late in the fourth period, the Chester Cyclones won by a lone touchdown. On October 22 the strong Rock Hill squad met Florence. Again the breaks were against us. and Rock Hill emerged the victors with a score 13 to 0. At the Pee Dee Fair grounds on November 29, Florence and Darlington High School teams clinched to a 6-6 deadlock. The Jackets got off to a good start when Hicks lugged the pigskin over for a score early in the game, but in the third period, the Darlington squad tied the score by scoring a touchdown. 'Phe Yellow Jackets, with renewed determination, surged forward and crushed the small, but scrappy McColl team on November 5. with a score of 26 to 0. On Novem! er 12. the F. H. S. gridsters met the Camden Bulldogs. Although Florence put up a game light, the Bulldogs routed them with a score of 33 to 0. Using a passing attack, the Orangeburg Indians defeated the Jackets on Noveml er 26 with a score of 13 to 0. Bringing the season to an end. the local pigskin carriers battled the strong Sumter Gamecocks to a 7-7 deadlock. Miss tiloria Brodie was selected “team sponsor” by Captain Carlysle Hutchinson. 1938 Page Seventy-one THE FLORENTINE JACQUETTES OX THE HARDVVOOI) I lie girls 38 basketball squad, under the direction of Miss Lulith Tobin, showed up well this season in spite of the fact that most of the members were rather young.

Captain Meyers. Billy Jeffers. Alvin Graham, and James Blackwell. The squad was composed of Billy Jeffers. Clyde Jeffers, Junior Kitchens. Jack Schuyler. Alternate Captain Alvin Graham. James Blackwell. S. L. Cox. J. A. Grimsley. and Myers Hicks. Junior Kitchens was high scorer of this year’s squad, closely followed by Jack Schuyler and Clyde Jeffers. Other members of the squad deserving special commendation are: Alvin Graham. Billy Jeffers, and Albert Meyers who specialized in passing and guarding. The Jackets won five of their eight games. Miss Peggy Ilite was selected sponsor by Captain Meyers. Keith Grimsley. assisted by Vernon Hensley, very efficiently filled the f osition of manager.

THE FLORENTINE JACKETS IN THE SQUARED CIRCLE Florence’s representatives in the squared circle, the proponents of the manly art of self-defense. closed their season with the undisputed state title. Out of the seven matches, the Jackets lost no limits, and drew only two. The majority of Florence’s victories were all clear cut and were decided by wide margins. At the beginning of the season. Coach Tresco Johnson reviewed the squad and was doubtful as to the success of the team, but he immediately began a siege of hard, earnest work. As a result he molded one of the strongest teams of the state. Sufficient credit cannot be given to Mr. Johnson. Of the boys participating. S. V. Haselden was chosen Captain, and Marion Revell was selected Alternate Captain. The entire squad is in line for commendation for a very successful season in regard to the number of victories as well as the display of lighting ability and good sportsmanship. Marion Revell, the K. C). artist of the squad; R. Merriman, midget of the team: Reese McCrary and Captain S. Y. Haselden. all remained undefeated. Jeffords deserves special commendation for his uncanny boxing ability. The Jackets' leather-pushers smashed into the winning berth by a score of 8 to 2 over Cake View. January 13, for their First victory. On January 21. the Florence High boxing squad won another brilliant victory by defeating the Brook 1 and-Cavce team. 6 to 3. The local mitt-throwers next drew a lxmt with the strong Chester squad with a score of 3 to 3. but on the return bout the locals wrested a decisive victorv by obtaining a score of 4 to 1. The next liout with Brookland-Cayce was rather disappointing to the Jackets. Coach Johnson said that the best he could make of this meet was a draw. The upset of the strong Charleston Bantams followed on February 22. with a score of 4 to 3 in favor of the local ringsters. Bringing a successful season to a close, the Jackets fought their way to triumph over the powerful Orangeburg ringsters on February 25 by a one-sided score of 5j j to V i. At the conclusion of this light, the John Scott trophy for the most scientific lioxer was awarded to Reese McCrary, and the Harry Gall trophy for the most popular fighter was awarded to S. Y. Haselden. The Yellow Jackets veritably ‘‘stole the show” at the “Golden Glove” Tournament presented by the Lions’ Club. Merriman. G. McCrary, Revell, and Haselden all won in their open class weights. The fighting ability, the fighting condition, and clean sportsmanship of the Jackets entering this tourney earned the admiration of � he crowds.
