Q ass of • 31 HEADLINES ■ v -9 -' 94° Xews Flush, 1929—School Opens Today! Hundreds of little first-graders hurried to school this September morning to begin their struggle with three great problems, Readin’, Kitin’, and ’Rithme-tic. That was the way we began! For seven long years we battled with those three major opponents, some of us “taking the count.” In the fall of 1935 we were promoted to Junior High School and to study halls! For two years we graciously assisted lr. Harllee in running the school. Came the Fall of 1937—Large Sophomore Class Enters Senior High. As a crowning reward for eight years’ work, most of us were now enrolled as Sophomores! The confusion of the crowded halls made us think of Grand Central Station. We soon learned to take a deep breath, cross our fingers, and make a dash to cross the hall. After a very embarrassing week, we learned just where our class rooms were, which stairs to use, and to always pick up paper. We elected Francena Raggett, president, and Miss Alice Brunson, sponsor. The Fall of 1938—School Reopens! As Juniors, we elected Francena Baggett, president, again, and as sponsor, Miss Mary Eugenia Powell. Being Juniors, we could laugh at the “rats” and their mistakes. For the first time the high school band began to march during the half at the football games. With the beginning of the second semester, American History loomed up before us. We soon became personally acquainted with Shorthand, Chemistry, and Bookkeeping. Our Junior Class again made headlines with the Junior play, “Faculty Farce,” and also by participating in the operetta, “The Gyps}- Rover”. All too soon it was May. Juniors dashed in and out of the gym, looking mysterious. Then, on that most gala of nights—Junior-Senior —the guests where ushered into a Spanish patio where Juniors and Seniors celebrated a fiesta in honor of Ferdinand. September 12, 1939—Senior Class Plans Great Year. We paraded down the halls—dignified Seniors. That long dreamed-of goal was ours! As Seniors we took charge of the high school paper, The Yellow Jacket, and made it into a six-page paper. We advertised our class and school bv yelling, “Hot dogs! Cold drinks!” in front of the Senior Booth at the County Fair. January, 1940, News Flash—Seniors at F. H. S. Affected by War. Our class rings were delayed because of a long, over-due shipment of stones from Czechoslovakia. No Senior, however, volunteered to go after them. Finally they came and we proudly displayed them. January 31, 1940—Examination Time. Because of a new rule every member of Florence-High School had to take exams. What exams! After they were over, many seniors decided to prolong their stay in F. H. S. This year we went dramatic. Many talented Seniors starred in the Dramatic Club productions and in our Senior play, “Thomas Shelton’s Ghost.” February 12 and 13—Annual Group Pictures Taken Now. The staff moved us here and and there in order to snap us at our best angles. We chaffed at such painstaking arranging as we were anxious (?) to get back to our classes. May, 1940—Senior Dresses Very Lovely This Year. Each girl forgot that tedious stitching, ripping, and restitching, as others admired the miracle she had achieved. Too quickly, much too quickly, Senior exams were were upon us, but, we stood them—and— some of us pulled through. June, 1940—The Class of 1940 Holds its Commencement Exercises at Florence High School. This was our last headline as a class. Perhaps some of us will make headline news again. May that news be such that the rest of us can proudly say—“a member of our class, 1940.” MARGIE SUMMER, Historian. • 52 CLASS WILL STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, t Countv of Florence. 1 We, tin- Senior Class of the Florence High School, being in our right minds (I hope), do hereby draw up this document, our first, last, and only will and testament, devising our property and traits as follows: Item 1. To the Junior Class, we leave next year with its problems and brighter moments (there are some). Item 2. The athletic ability of Jack Schuyler, Herndon Williams, Gene Parrott, Bob O’Hara, Bill Forbes (his timid voice goes too), Ruth Barnwell, and Keith Grimsley we leave to the rising bench “wearer-outers” of the future teams of Florence High. Item 3. To Nadine Bragdon, “Pee-Wee” Martin, Jessie Tingen and Martha Harris we will the “comc-hither” and “go-yonder” looks of Ella Lee Sparrow, Mary Sims and Margaret Haynie. Item 4. Wishing the success of “Thomas Shelton’s Ghost” to all future plays, we give, will, and bequeath the acting ability of Bette Colburn, Martha Jo Cockfield, Evermond Hardee, Miriam Ann Gregg, George Avant, and McLaurin Baker to all future high school stars. Item 5. We will and leave Sumter’s jinx in athletics to the dogs hoping they will devour and digest it thoroughly. Item 6. We will the ability of Wade Weatherford and Thomas Farmer to preside over unpacified students to Mary Louise Barringer, Harvey Atwill, and Earl Boone. Item 7. The gentle tempers and dispositions of Herndon Williams and Frances Griffin, we leave to Heyward Bellamy, Glenn McCrary and Oscar Cannon, if they promise to stop at the boiling point. Item 8. To Jack Wilkinson and Jimmy Hughes we will John Hutto’s and Jimmy Chapman’s willingness to co-operate with the fairer sex. Item 9. We give, will and bequeath the sweet dispositions and unassuming ways of Betty Smith, Jean D.ckman and Margaret Jones to Sam Fowler, Happy Bradshaw, Frank Key, and Deland Alphine. Item 10. The winning smiles of Bill Beck, William Fripp, Margaret Lide, and Edith Mc-Eachern we leave to Mary Sue John, Helen Parrott, Evelyn Hickey, and N. B. Baroody to be used only at school. Item 11. The height of Bill Edgerton, Henry Barnwell, Waverly Summerford, and Marilyn Craig we leave to Arthur Ellis, Rivers Maxwell, Kenneth Pearce, and Eben Taylor, Jr. Item 12. To Calvin Bartell, Pete Lane, Clyde Jeffers and “Tootie” Mims we will the “Charles Atlas” builds of “Catfish” Palmer, Lynn Keels, Sam Tinsley, and Fred Garrison. Item 13. The love affairs of “Jug” Carswell and “Tog” Gill, “Junior” Miller and Betty Clemmons, and Ed Turbeville and Mary Smith, we leave to Dubose Whittle and Frances Dowdle and to all others whose hearts beat faster at each other’s sight. Item 14. The genius shown by the Senior members of the Yellow Jacket in getting ads from hard-boiled business men we will to next year’s staff. Item 15. The benches made for the Senior Booth we will to the “hot-dog” venders of the next county fair, providing they will equip them with parking meters. Item 16. The sewing skill evidenced by all • 33 Senior girls we will to any Junior who has not learned, “ ’Tis better to baste than to rip.” Item 17. The ability of the Senior Class to raise its necessary funds we leave to the class of 1941, with the admonition that no opportunity to make an honest penny be neglected. Item 18. The good marks made by Waverlv Summerford, LaLinc Mills, and Alma Munn we give to any under-classman who needs a few extra points to make that “70.” Just tell your home room teacher to add them to your average. Item 19. Our parking places at the Hubb and Circle Fountain may be used by any student until 9:00 P. M. We always went home then, and feel other high school boys and girls should do the same. Item 20. To our beloved principal, Mr. Britrss, we leave the assurance of our friendship for him, which we shall treasure throughout our lives. Item 21. To our teachers we leave all our books, pencils, and paper to be used by them in educating their future classes. Mav those pupils be as brilliant and diligent as we. Item 22. To our sponsor, Miss Sara Ray, our deepest appreciation and devotion for the help and guidance given us in our senior year. Item 23. The memory of our class we leave to the student body, earnestly hoping that they will remember our virtues and forget our faults. In Witness Whereof we hereunto set our hands. The Senior Class, EVERETT THOMAS, Lawyer. Witnesses: Mug Bug Super-Man Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the Senior Class of 1940, with the request that the F. H. S. faculty execute the provisions of above document. 3+ -O PROPHECY My new television telephone rang and I struggled over to answer it, dropping a box of candy from my lap as I did. “Hello. Well, mv goodness, it’s Wade Weatherford. What’s that: . . . Call a reunion of the 1940 Class: Swell! Yes, I think I can locate them. Wednesday, June 4, at your house: . . . O. K., Wade, and thanks a lot, I’ll be glad to do it for you.” I hung up the phone and sat there for a minute. After fifteen years I was going to see mv class mates of F. H. S. again. 1955! My, how time had marched and yet time couldn’t erase those happy memories I had of dear old F. H. S. I picked up the phone book and ran my finger down the list. Who would know the most about our class mates: Evermond Hardee! I dialed her number. She answered the television telephone and gave me my information, Yes, Evermond is now head of the “Gee” girls and the author of “How to Reach The Top.” Miss “Hi Miss” is right up there. 1006—I dialed “The Old Bachelors’ Home.” Keith Grimsley, President, answered. Keith hadn’t aged a bit and when I asked if any of our old class mates were there he told me Julian Carswell, Bill Forbes, Dallas Keefe, Gene Parrott, Marion Revell, Riden Walker, and “Sonny Jim” Wall were all there—in other words the majority of the Block ‘F Club. Thev always hated women. Next I called the Old Maids’ Home where Francena Baggett was head of the whole place. Yes, she told me she would be glad to come. Were there any members of the Bachelors’ Club left: I was assured there were several chances. Oh, yes, the Woman’s Annual Gossip Club— 100000. Caroline Miller answered the phone. I could see seated in the room other successful housewives “gabbing” to their hearts’ content. There were Mary Abrams, Ethelda Bauknight, Ellen Winters, Harriet Cain, Betsy Cannon, Thelma Gardner, Martha Jo Cockfield, and Sara Lee Jones. Sure, they all said, they’d he there. Oh, me, well at least I didn’t have to pay for these calls I contemplated. I think that’s kind of Thomas Farmer, President of the United States, to do that for the sake of our old class. A long distance call to Hong Kong was next and I reached Margaret Lide. Margaret is now singing in an opera tour. Richard DeBerry is her accompanist. Next call—Hollywood, where I located at Fox Studios, Evcrette Thomas, Errol Flynn’s successor; Herndon Williams, Robert Taylor’s; Harry Triber, George Raft’s; and Ralph Palmer, George Avant, and Billy Wells, the three Ritz Brothers’. They graciously consented to come. On the M. G. M. lot I found—Bette Colburn, successor of Lupe Velez, Betty Smith, of Madaline Carroll, and Vangelier Poulas, of Margaret Sul-lavan. Nice work for our little class mates; they really hit the top. I got in touch with Henry Barnwell, now head man of the National Guards and told him to be sure and be there and to tell W. D. Corley, Vernon Commander, Cyril Blackmon, Wilson Bailey, and Marion Cuttino, who help him defend the nation, also to come. • 35 At the Mon Rayo I found “Tot” Harbin, Margaret Haynie, Kathryn McFarland, Gertie McLaughlin, and Louise Burriss, all top-notch mannequins, dressed to kill. They graciously assured me they would be there. John Hutto is now principal of our dear high school with Sam Droze and Bill Edgerton as assistant advisors. Several others have joined the staff, teaching different subjects: Webster Barth, Physical Education; Alma Munn, French; Betty Brunson, Home Economics; Wilma Mason, Glee Club; and Doris Mathis, Latin. In the journalistic line I found Billy Tennent, editor of Want pet- Times; Frank McKain, sports editor on the same paper; Margaret Jones, news editor of the Ehetiezer I)mlv Journal; and Vivian Lylo, advertising solicitor of the Girls' Guide Magazine. They’ve all done wonders and we’re proud of them. A look at Myrtle Beach, and I found Bill Beck teaching the modern dance of “If you can do it, you’re going good,” to his pupils, Joe Allen, Mc-Laurin Baker, LeRoy Covington, Eula Mac Ask-ins, Kathleen Jordon, and Pearl Keiserman. His pupils have made their first million; Bill’s helping them spend it. I found Carol Schnibben and Iris Schnibben running Kozy Korner. Boy! are they mopping up! Frances Stackley is taking the million-dollar hotel as her small cottage to get away from her public. She’s a great actress now of stage and radio. (Say, who says F. H. S. girls aren’t doing O. K.r) I finally found James Crater right after a big fight. “Glad to come,” he said, “if I don’t get killed before.” He is fighting Edwin Hill at Madi- son Square Garden for the flea-weight championship. At the airport I found as test pilots, Bobbv Ask-ins, Arthur Beaumont, Clinton Galloway, Reese Campbell, Bill Flowers, Larry Hatfield, Harley Mangum, Bill Martin, William Shia, and Ed Tinsley. Nice going, fellows! They said they’d all fly there. In the magazine world I found Eugene McLeod was editor of the American Girl and How to Get Her; Carolyn Whisenhunt, editor of The Open Road for Boys, Tim O’Connor, editor of IVOman's Home Companion; and Jack Tyler, editor of Time. Guess what? Paris is running over with some of our class mates as designers in the most elegant shops. I found Celeste Bonette, Elizabeth Bullard, Frances Byrd, Kathryn Kirby, Mary Louise Lee, Janie McPherson, Anne Meadors, Mary Frances White, Vida Williams, and Margaret Wilson. They’ re catching the next boat, now. On Broadway I found J. T. Rushing putting on his stage show, “The Rushing Scandals,” with Ed Tuberville writing the music. His leading man and woman are Ruth Dean and Claude Harris. Others, who are in the dancing chorus, are James Mims, Bryan Stone, Willie Weatherford, Lois Avin, Ruth Campbell, Anne Hawley, and Lovie Harrington. They’ll all be there and won’t I be glad to sec them! I found Wade Weatherford as minister of the “Little Church Around the Corner.” Mary Emma Barnhill, Margaret Byrd, Annie Belle Gardiner, Lake McLaurin, and Jack Holland arc missionaries in China, India, and Siberia. • 36 Miriam Anne Gregg, Edith McEachern, and Betty Clemmons are tap-dancing on an engagement at the “Hog Wallow Hotel.” They’ve adopted the name of the “Past, Present, and Future Gals.” In the medical world I found Frances Griffin, world-known woman doctor, cutting and whittling away on Ruth Barnwell, who is now the sole owner of Ocean Drive Beach. Louise and Lydia Grimsley are head supervisors of the same hospital, with Ethel Blackmon, Margie Lee Cox, Sara Stradt-man, and Dorothy Straup as nurses, and Thomas Carter, Alfred Clarke, Walter Tanner, Milton Copeland, and B. C. Haynes as doctors. Waverly Summcrford owns the hospital and its motto is “You come at your own risk.” Well, hope they’ll get here in one piece! After much difficulty I located Jack Schuyler. He is head of the Fumigation Bureau at Ellis Island. Vernon Powell and Marvin Poston are running a ferry at Alcatraz and they’re really making money. One of our classmates had been a passenger but they declined to reveal his name. Mary “Lib” Davis is now radio news commentator over WOLS and Mary Frances Eaddy is the head of the “Woman’s Hour” over the same station. Friendly Morris is in charge of the “Farm Hour,” and Harry Ross and Robert Roland are crooners for “Aunt Jermina Pancake Hour.” Margie Summer, I found out, had a kindergarten home with Jean Dickman, and Marilyn Craig, as assistants. Several of our F. H. S. grads went to the World Olympics; Kate Collins, the best woman athlete in the world; Dorothy Brooks, twiddly-wink champion; and Elizabeth Ervin, queen of the tennis courts. I found that quite a few of the grads are now expert lawyers, such as Ruth Hepburn, Margaret Ham, Bessie Hatchell, Marvin Matthews, Lin-wood Rawlinson, Gertie Hicks, Jay Stanley, Richmond Wilhoit, Ray Hawley, and Roy Stokes. 1 hey’ll all be here in flying colors—they said. Several of the girls have gone in the beauty shop business. These are: Evelyn Foss, Margaret Hilliard, Ruby Lee Hill, Virginia Love, Ruby Roper, and Doris Myers. I found that Edith Griffin now runs a dairy. Mary Gaskill fell heir to the bakery business. Fred Garr.son has the sole ownership of Benton’s Dress Shop; Harry Darby is the artist and designer for his chief model, Annie Lee Fore; Henry Early is a private detective and head of the Snooping Agency. Jimmie Chapman, Mitchell Gause, and William Fripp are traveling salesmen and Bryan Gill, Billy Graham, Henry Isenhower, Lynn Keels, Russell Luhrs, Bernie Stokes, and B. C. Haynes are Fuller Brush men. (You may be sure they’ll be here.) I was lucky to find Ella Lee Sparrow at home. She’s happily married and the mother of seven, all as pretty as she. She faithfully promised to come and since the event was two weeks off, I thought if she started now, she could get there on time. I found Sara (Tog) Gill is now “Miss Solar System” and is certainly holding her title! Charle-ton Wilhoit is running the Wilhoit Wrecking Company, Katherine Marsh is in a partnership in the Gas-Electric Supply Company, Kathleen Meek- of mo- • 37 ins is now a famous playwright, and Margaret Steagall is the champion horse-back rider of the “Tift Hat Derby.” Marion Grimslcy, Price Hoffmcyer, Joe Johnson, John Johnson, and Henry Jones arc taking “The Dead End Kids’ ” places but they promised to come. Mary Garrett has a small florist shop on Park Avenue and Carolyn Harper, Ruth Holt, Evelyn Hyman, and Deborah Johnson are her assistant helpers. They soak the rich. Martha Jeffords, Lorraine Johnson, Josephine Jennings, and La Line .Mills have a quaint little hot dog stand with Frances Summerford, Dorothy Tallon, Sara Timmons, Dorothy Watts and Vivien Parnell as the best slop slingers” in the country. Jane Quarles has taken over the Studio and Marjorie Reville is her assistant. Myrtle Nelson poses for Jane’s photography. Bob O’Hara is head coach of football at Clem-son College. He uses Sybil Summerford to inspire the boys. Sybil is “Miss U. S.” now. There, I sighed, that is all. A feeling of contentment settled over me as I sank back in my easy chair. They would all be there, I kept saying to myself over and over again as if to assure myself that this grand event was not an illusion. I settled back comfortably and drifted off into a pleasant slumber. June 4! I could hardly wait. MARY SIMS, Class Prophet.

In all competitive sports, we expect student participants and spectators to abide by the rules of sportsmanship. “For when the One Great Scorer comes to write against your name, He writes—not that you won or lost—but how you played the game.” FOOTBALL At the call of “Report for practice” almost thirty boys reported for football on Hicks Field early in September. Only a few letter men were back this year, but Coaches Rhame and White went ahead to train and develop these boys in defensive and offensive maneuvers to form a fast-moving, hard-hitting team. Coach Rhame put in many tiring hours drilling the squad to make those tricky shifts and passes click. Meanwhile, Coach “Nig” White built the line into a practicallv impregnable wall. The first teams included: Harvey Atwill, Jimmie Craver, Jimmy Fitzgerald, Bill Forbes, Co-Captain; Keith Grimsley, Clyde Jeffers, Dallas Keefe, Frank Key, Pete Lane, Robert Mimms, J. W.

GIRLS’ SOFTBALL In the spring of 1939 the girls of Florence High successfully invaded a new field, one that has always been considered a masculine monopoly—baseball.
