“
Next to a senior’s diploma and friendships, his annual is the dearest possession of school days! Good grades, bad grades, exams, Friday’s schedule, cafeteria rush, parties, great loves, study halls—all are memories that are brought back as he turns the pages of his annual. With the hope in our hearts that it will bring as much pleasure to our classmates in reading as it has to us in writing, we submit to you The 1942 Florentine. To our beloved Aunt Sallie” we affectionately dedicate this issue of The Florentine, in grateful recognition of the many years she has spent in instilling high ideals in the minds of the pupils of Florence High School. Her helpful influence will be felt by those she taught for years to come. aiin|;VIIXI SEI!N ABOUT A—Here we see th e gardening class busily making prep arations for their spring vegetable at id flower garden.

President Amelia Wallace, Secretary Saunders Bridges, Vice-President Margaret Edwards. Treasurer Alice Brunson, Sponsor These leaders of our class have piloted us through the year. Theirs has been the task of making plans which have resulted in our attaining our goal—an annual. THE CLASS OF 1942 It was the fall of 1931 that the boys and girls came from the homes of Babyland to Circle and Park Schools. It is from classes like these that come the lawyers, statesmen, and citizens of noble Carolina. The pupils from the two grammar schools, which were to compose the Class of '42, were brought together in Junior High School in the eventful and memorable fall of 1937. Here we spent two years, running wild and keeping the study halls full every afternoon. In September, 1939, one of the largest (if not the largest) Sophomore Classes entered High School. We were known as the Freshmen by the upper classes, and indeed we were a very fresh class, but we did our work in a very pleasing manner. In the gymnasium there were to be trained many future basketball « 6 stars, while on the athletic field there were future football stars, to say nothing of the boxers who were destined to box their way to fame and glory before they graduated in 1942. Finally, after nine months of hardship, we completed our first year of high school, a wiser and smaller class. After the summer vacation was over, the Battle of Books” began anew. We were Juniors, the second highest class in school. During this year the students of the Junior Class played an important part in school activities. We elected as our class officers: President, Claire Maxwell; Vice-President, Amelia Wallace; Secretary, Harry Howie; Treasurer, Saunders Bridgers; our sponsor was Miss Eugenia Powell. The Junior Class Play, Growing Pains”, was presented in the latter part of May and was hailed by the audience as one of the best plays ever to be presented on the stage of Florence High School. The cast of the play gives the credit for their success to Mr. Abbott Lake, who directed this play through many hysterical rehearsals. Ah! The besta had been saved for the lasta, the most important event of the year, Junior-Senior Reception. Were we, the Class of ’42, going to hold our reception in the gymnasium? No! We were going to have it at the Florence Country Club. I am sure that this will be a long remembered occasion. We attended the Commencement Exercises of the Class of 1941 and dreamed of the following year when we, too, should receive our diplomas. At last, we have reached that shining goal, the Senior Class. We elected Claire Maxwell President, Saunders Bridges Vice-President, Amelia Wallace Secretary, Margaret Edwards Treasurer, and Miss Alice Brunson. Sponsor. Our first project as seniors was the running of the Senior Booth at the County Fair. This was done by members of the class who did their part to advertise our class by yelling loudly and continuously Rrrrrrrred hot, hot dogs, rrrrrrright over here. We started raising money for the annual by selling magazine subscriptions. This gave us a chance to show the people of Florence High School and all the surrounding territory that we were not an ordinary senior class. We sold more subscriptions than any other senior class of Florence High School, and we also sold more than the Senior Class of Sumter. The long awaited rings came in January, 1942. You can be sure that no Senior girl would let any one pass her without displaying her beautiful hands. Another big event was the election of the annual staff. Peggy Haywood was elected Editor-in-Chief and the other members of the staff were elected in the order that they came. We were working, slaving, and wishing for a miracle so that we could have an annual; but, if we couldn't, we had already planned to have a Yearbook. The senior superlatives were elected the following week. On March 6, the class play, Clarence , another big dramatic hit, was presented. Mr. Abbott E. Lake was the director while Miss Alice Brunson was the sponsor. Claire Maxwell was elected May Queen and was crowned at an impressive ceremony. Toward the middle of the semester the Commencement speakers were chosen, and it was not until then that we realized that our last year in high school was rapidly coming to a close. In the last of February we had the first snow that we had had in a number of years. Everyone went hog-wild”, and shouts of joy could be heard all over the building. The snow was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Those of us who were lucky enough to get-by , now stand upon the brink of a new world. We are about to be promoted to life itself. Whatever life may bring forward, we are sure that we will run patiently any race that is set before us. « 7 Harry Howle, Historian Seniors Jack Aiken Big month . . . Frankenstein Type . . .

This year a huge crowd filled the auditorium to see Clarence”, a comedy by Booth Tarkington. Every member of the cast gave an unusually good performance, and the entire production was a complete success, largely because of the untiring effort of Mr. Abbott Lake. Jr., the director. The cast was composed of Saunders Bridges, Edna Ruth Thomas, Livie Pierce, Virginia Price, J. H. Baggett, Giralda Davis, Billy Gregory, Ruth Covington. Prances Anderson, Sue Alice Perrin and Billy Gardner. u THE KLimr.M'iu 29 u THE FLORENTINE T JL A VISION OF THE FUTURE So this is commencement night! For years I have been dreaming of this wonderful night. Now that I am to receive my diploma, a little unknown feeling of regret comes over me. I hate to leave dear old F.H.S. There goes Jack Aiken for his diploma; two more before me. There goes Robert Ashcraft, then Allen Dewitt Asking. I cautiously walk up the steps to the stage. I hear Mr. Briggs say, Julius H. Baggett. Why that's I! I accept the precious document from our beloved principal's hand and then struggle to walk. Gosh, am I nervous’ 1 put one foot on the steps, and there I slip. I feel a sickening blow' upon the back of my head, and then I slip into the land of dreams, into the year 1957. In the haze of my dreams I move rapidly from place to place, seeing always before me the faces of my classmates. I observe that several of them have become faculty members of Florence High.

IT ✓ k 4 Tin: FLUHUNTIM « 45 JL THE fliihemim; THE PURPLE AND GULD ON THE GRIDIRON The purple and gold, under Coaches McElveen and Shivers, came through with a very fine record for their gridiron wars in 1941. They compiled four well-earned victories as against two defeats and two ties, one of which was the memorable Sumter game. There were no ''push-overs on the tough schedule through which Co-Captains Lane and Windham led their team. It would indeed be wrong to put down here the name of any one individual and say that he was the star. This year we had a team of stars with no one person justly having claim to the spotlight. The squad was a good one, one that will be remembered through the years as one of the best Florence High has produced. The work in our backfidd of Windham, Merriman. Mimms. Webb, Humphries, Lyles, and Atkinson was something really to be proud of, while Lane, Pallas, G. Benton, E. Benton, Brown, Thames, Surles, Hicks, Gregg. Parrott, Lewis, Sprott, Dawkins, and numerous others played a kind of ball in the line that was highly commendable and very outstanding. James Baily showed up well before receiving a leg injury which forced him out of the lineup for the remainder of what looked like a very promising season for him. Credit is due Lonnie Fraser, Lancer Brown, and J. J. Jeffers for their fine work as managers.

The Jackets, under the excellent coaching of Jack Shivers, took on each opponent in stride and emerged at the close of their schedule with a 10 won and 3 lost total, a record of which to be proud and for which praise is due. The team was a changing one, in that the positions were alternated between about nine members of the squad who saw almost continuous action. Undoubtedly, the most outstanding player in the Jacket lineup was Pete Parrott, who stood out in practically every game and who was personally responsible for about one-third of the total number of points made by the team. Pete Lane also was a key man in the Jacket attack and was responsible for many times wrecking the offense of the opposition, while also doing his share of the scoring. Other members of the squad who followed right behind these two and turned in excellent jobs at their respective positions were; guards, Fitzgerald, Howerton, and Jeffers; centers, Benton and Hicks; and forwards. Bridges and Taylor. Also seeing action and completing the squad were Daniels, Langston, and Godfrey. Derrell Jeffords served as the teams’ manager. Praise is due to the coach and the entire during the two months season.

Off hand, one might say that a two won, three lost season isn't much better than just a fair record, but those persons who have been following the Jacquettes will remember that the past few seasons have not been nearly so good as this one. Not only were the victories outstanding, but even in the games that were lost, the girls gave a very good account of themselves. The schedule with high school teams was reduced this season because of the fact that it was decided the team would do no distant traveling and would become a member of the Florence City League. Coach Edith Tobin deserves much credit for the commendable job she did in putting together a really smooth working varsity squad which was composed of the following thirteen girls: Hickey, Palles. Lucas. Miller, Hatchell, Haywood, Rollins, Fulp, Atkinson, Stradtman, Holiday, Beck, and Gandy. Every girl on the squad played well, both on offense and defense, and proved by the following results that they could win and that their City League opponents had better be careful and prepare for a real battle in each of their games.

However, led by Captain Ray White, the Jacket fighters came through in excellent style, while winning three out of their six matches, they showed their home town rooters, as well as the out-of-towners, that the Purple and Gold leather pushers could dish it out as well as take the hardest blows any opponent could offer. The boxers scored two victories before suffeiing their first defeat which came at the hands of Charlotte. In this match the much needed services of Captain Ray White were lost, for, although winning, several of his ribs were broken and he was forced to hang up his gloves for the remainder of the season. Florence next journeyed to Savannah where they suffered another defeat. The final two matches came with the Hamlet, N. C., team with whom they split the two, each gaining one victory over the other. Florence, as is customary, had a fine coach and a fine crowd of boys making up its squad. Besides White, there were Lyles, Temple, Dusenbury, Heard, McCrary, Revell, and Ellis who made up the front line of defense and who kept the rights and lefts continuously swinging at the opposition, while Daniels, Baker, Moore, Kirby, Dawkins, Schmidt, Brown, Smith, Snow, and Kirvin saw plenty of action and did their share of leather slingin' ”, These boys, along with Jimmy Ratley, manager, round out the 1942 Florence High Boxing Team.

JsL « 49 u THi: FLiim.x ri i: J$L YELLOW JACKETS ON THE DIAMOND Under the excellent coaching of Hubert McElveen, the Yellow Jacket nine played a championship brand of baseball and gave its rooters all the thrills which the sport can offer. Of the many outstanding plays and performances on the diamond during this season, the one that stands out the clearest and foremost is Calvin Herring's masterful one-hitter against Conway. Ben Gregg, who will be long remembered as Florence High's number one pitcher, turned in one of his most brilliant performances against the Columbia High School team which he defeated 13-3 while allowing but four scattered hits. Surely not to be forgotten was Clyde Jeffers' smashing blow which wrecked the hopes of a fighting Timmonsville team. The magnificent catching of Windham was outstanding, as was the splendid fielding of Captains Lane and Whittle, on third base and left field respectively. Also playing steady were Baily, Henderson, McQuarten, and McKnight, while an airtight outfield was composed of Brunson, Hicks. Parrott. Lundy, J. J. Jeffers, and Ellis. Looper did a fine job of filling Windham s shoes in his absence from a few games. In all, the Florence High Baseball Team produced a record worthy of being called very successful.
