resenting PUBLISHED ANNUALLY BY THE SENIOR CLASS McCLENAGHAN HIGH SCHOOL FLORENCE, SOUTH CAROLINA FORE UUORD If on some later date this takes you Back to high school years that make you Happy with thoughts of school days past; Of classes, recess fun, and dances. Report card days and new romances. And all the years that went so fast; If our efforts bring back memories And add a happy note to reveries. Then we shall think our task worth while; And though our brains have been depleted, At last our annual is completed— We give it to you with a smile. DICATIOn With a deep sense of gratitude for the inspiring examples they set us, and with a keen realization of the great debt we owe them, we reverently dedicate this volume of THE FLORENTINE to the memory of those former students of our school who so gloriously and unselfishly gave their lives in the cause of freedom during the recent world conflict.

I Vice-President Secretary . T reasurer . . Sponsor 1U THE SETIIOR CLASS OF 1946 presents U Jears A Historical Drama in Three Acts By Teddy Young Selling: Florence City Schools. Time: 1935-1946. Act I — Scene 1 Selling: Grammar Schools. Time: 1935-1941. As the curtain rises on Act I of this unusual drama, we see Class of ’46 en- tering the Florence Grammar Schools. In this, the primary phase of his education, Class of '46 spends six years preparing himself for greater things to come! Act II — Scene 1 Selling: Junior High School. Time: 1941-1943. Here we see Class of '46” enjoying a more complex school life filled with a variety of subjects and teachers. He is kept busy with scrap metal drives, athlet- ic activities, newspaper editorials, and homeroom plays, in addition to his regu- lar academic studies. Act III — Scene 1 Selling: Senior High School. Time: 1943-1944. It is September, 1943, and Class of '46 proudly becomes a part of the stu- dent body of McClenaghan High School. Accustoming himself to the Florence High curricula is one of his most im- portant tasks of the year. Led by George Weeks, President; Bobby Wall, Vice- President; Betty Harrell, Secretary; Townes Thomas, Treasurer; and Mrs. Arthur Fickling, Sponsor, this is accom- plished very successfully. Scene II Setting: Senior High School. Time: 1944-1945. Class of ’46 begins to see the true weight of his influence in his junior year. Under the leadership of George Weeks, as President; Loren Mead, as Vice-Presi- dent; Betty Harrell, as Secretary; Townes Thomas, as Treasurer; and Miss Mary Manning Hanner, as Sponsor, he is re- garded as an outstanding Junior Class. Unsuspected dramatic ability is dis- played in the production of The Gay Deception,” directed by Mrs. Mary Ed- munds. Besides proving the dramatic and artistic powers of Class of ’46, this production also shows that he is a financial wizard as well, for he makes a gratifying profit. The big event of May is the Spring 11 Formal, where Class of '46, dressed in his best, dances to the music of Raymond Caddell's orchestra. As the scene closes, we see Class of 46 sorrowfully bidding farewell to his friend, Class of '45, and gazing ex- pectantly into the future. Scene III Selling: Senior High School. Time: 1945-1946. As the final scene opens, Class of '46 appears on the stage as the Seniors of '46. With the election of Walter Moorman, President of the Senior Class; Teddy Young, Vice-President; Betty Harrell, Secretary; Townes Thomas, Treasurer; and Miss Alice Brunson, Sponsor, the year starts off in a big way. The first business is the sale of maga- zine subscriptions to finance the annual. This venture is an outstanding success (as the annual shows), and once again proves that Class of '46” is a go-getter. Class of '46,” being the first class to choose and order its rings during the junior year, enthusiastically welcomes their arrival in November. December brings forth the 1946 Flor- entine staff, which sets to work early in the month. On January 1st, the powerful Yellow Jackets triumph over the favored Pee Dee All-Stars in the first annual Tobacco Bowl Game to finish their successful football season. The Cat and the Canary,” a thrill- ing mystery, directed by Abbott E. Lake, Jr., is presented on the night of February 8th. Once again Class of '46” demon- strates his dramatic ability, and the per- formance reflects great credit on both the director and the actors. Reigned over by Ramona Samra, the 1946 May Court is a scene of beauty. The stately Queen, her lovely attendants in their soft hued gowns, and the flower- banked setting combine to make this an unforgettable occasion. Commencement night, the climax of eleven years of school life, is faced by Class of '46, who is determined to make the utmost of his learning in the years which lie ahead. So, as he bids fare- well to Florence High, the curtain de- scends on the final act of this drama. 12 WADAD EMMA ABU-ARAB Dark-eyed lass . . . good natured . . . spontaneous smile . . . industrious.

We, the graduating class of McCIenaghan High School, being worth only ninety-two cents, chemically speaking, but having firm belief somewhere in our sound (?) minds that we are more valuable, do hereby, in a period of weakness, bequeath to our less fortunate companions our most prized possessions in this, our Last Will and Testament; thereby revoking all previous wills and other statements concerning distribution of said items. Article I. I, Harry Temple, will my place at the end of the plate lunch” line to Mike Palles, hoping that he will get loads of food. Article II. To next years musically minded students, we, the renowned Vocal Music Class of 46, leave three dozen cats. (May they help them as much as they did us.) Article III. We, Joan Baker, Betty Harrell, and Betty Carolyn Howell, leave our excess knowledge to Sambo Watson and Oregon Rogers; however, let it be understood that this gift is made only on the condition that if a dumber person can be found, they will promptly turn over said gift to him. Article IV. We, Bobby Muldrow and Lacy Harwell, each will one picture to the rising Freshmen to be used on Hallowe en as they see fit. Article V. I, Nancy Kendall, do hereby pass on my previously inherited finger- wave to Billy Hay. Article VI. I, Herbert MacFarland, leave my brightest suspenders and my breath- taking bow ties to Loren Mead for his outlandish collection. Artic le VII. I, Jack Early, will my unlimited knowledge of private parking places to Vardell Gregg. Article VIII.

Think I’ll call up Betty Jean Brooks—wonder what she’s doing today? Operator, give me tele- vision 672-W in Los Angeles. This is New York 899-W. Thank you........Hello, Betty Jean . . . Well, for goodness sake! What are you doing in bed? You say you broke your leg trying to jump the Grand Canyon? That's too bad. I remember when you used to do things like that in high school . . . like jumping the pansy bed. I hope that won't keep you from going to the beach this summer. You know we haven't missed a summer since we graduated ten years ago. Let me tell you an amazing experience I had about two weeks ago. Louise Kuker and I were trying out my new rocket ship, Gravel Gertie.'' We decided that we d hop over to Paris and go to a hat sale we’d seen advertised in the paper that morning. We decided we d better step on it if we wanted to beat Naldi Hewitt, Willa Nell Gause, and Bobby Jean Harrelson, whom we had seen taking off ahead of us that morning. Bobby Tansbay Terror Muldrow owns an exclusive hat and dress shop, you know. He always was a good one for eyeing women s clothes.” By the way, he has Billy Houck, Lukie Brunson, and Harry Temple draping' on his models Kathryn Crosby, Mary Alice Ingram, and Sarah Houck. Well, we flew Gravel Gertie into Townes Thomas and Walter Moorman's Rocket Repairs and Junk Yard. Louise was driving then, and before I knew it we had bumped into the back of Wiley Love's blimp, the Hot Air. Just piling out of the bottom were Harold Allen, Frank Floyd, and St. Clair Smith. Boy, were they mad!! Wiley says that thing will go 800 miles an hour. We must be talking about the time he was caught in a down-wind. Betty Jean, what is that juice you’re drinking? Oh! That's that new vitamin plus that Charlie Motte and Jimmy Williams are bottling. Gosh, they've made a fortune out of it, haven't they? Isn't your nurse Madeline Cottingham? I thought she'd never get out of sewing, much less be a nurse. Goodness! Is that your doctor that just came in? Great scott! It’s Earl Godfrey! Looks old, doesn't he? That grey hair, though, I know isn't from worry. Well, to get back to my trip to Paris. We decided to take a stroll through the park before flying home, when we heard the most discordant music. It was a large orchestra playing Drip, Drip, Drip. Wonder why they were playing that old thing? Sara Weatherford was the drum major- ette. Anne Taylor, Crystal Whisenhunt, Julian Lazar, and Jack DuBose gave out with the jazz. We went on uptown and stopped in at Betty Ann Brown's dressmaker shop. Betty Snipes, Irene Hook, and Mary Alice McLaughlin were literally tearing up some sewing machines. Betty Snipes, by the way, has an adorable little girl named Eggy. We went to Bobby's shop and found some wonderful bargains. I got out with a mashed toe. Elizabeth McKenzie thought she dropped fifty cents. I had to fight with Bettie Jane Jackson to get it. Across the street from Bobby's shop was Nancy McCubbins' charm school. Her best customers are Betty Darity, Jacqueline Fore, Bernice Gandy, and Maude Alice Garrison. Louise dropped in for her last treatment. She's very thin now—down to 175 pounds. Getting ready to leave Paris, we found Jack Early, James Webb, George Sample, Gerald Shiver, and Billy (touch the corner) Roscoe (a motley crew) bumming back across the ocean. We passed them by because we saw Bobby Wall com- ing behind us in his A-Model B-29. I knew he would pick them up although he had Zeb Beck, George Frisco” Weeks, and Tommy Summerford with him. They had gone over the pond to pick up the few things they had left on their last trip. It sho' was a nice experience to see some of my old pals over there. Oh yeah! What I called you up to tell you about was------------1 found some wonderful bargains in coal tar and air stockings. Imagine! Betty Jean, how is everything out California way? I know a lot of my classmates migrated— how are they coming along? You say Ramona Samra has taken Hedy La- marr’s place? That's right—I saw her with Coke Dent in Duncan Jefford’s production Bring 3B Home the Bacon, John, the Mortgage is Overdue.” Harmon Wood and Newell Cain are prop men? They prop up the leading men?—It must be a tiring job!! I'd like to hear Jo Phillips' new band. I hear he has taken over where Benny Goodman left off. Margaret King is singing with him, isn't she? Isn't Nell Richardson teaching the stars gymnas- tics? I declare, imagine giving Van Johnson a rubdown, even if he is old. Betty Jean, you say Mary Roland Griffin, Milly Bonnoitt, and Kitty Coward are on the new pro- fessional basketball team? Isn't that wonderful?— and Barbara Thornton is the manager! That just proves we all can amount to something. I heard about Betty Lou McGee's winning the contest as the slowest person in the United States. She got a Gold Turtle, didn't she, and a trip around the world? Ducky Willard is quite THE THING now that he’s beat Billy Conn, who finally beat Joe Louis, who stepped out of the picture because of old age. Oh, Betty Jean, I must tell you about poor Shirley Wolfe. She's in a very special cell at Sing Sing. Isn't that horrible!! She was convicted of being a killer-diller. It was a most exciting trial. Norman North was the Judge, and Ann Shannon was chief witness. A new play has opened over here on the eastern coast. It co-stars Frances Tuttle and Bill Gressette. I hear it's quite exciting. Jimmy Dingle owns a new Christmas Tree decoration shop. Yeah, it's called Dingle's Dan- gles. The same thing with Ross Beard’s lumber company. Beard's Boards. Jac Adele Blackwell is head nurse at the hos- pital for Veterans of the Sumter-Florence Annual Football Game. Benny Quarles and Charles Pea- nut” Hodges are two of the many players con- valescing there. Besides football, Benny paints pin-up girls for calendars. Some of his models are Betty Sharpe, Jean Giggle Simpson, and Maree Westbury. What’s that about Herbert McFarland, Betty Jean??? He's singing with that old-timer? Good- ness, I haven't heard Frank Sinatra in years. Charlie Holley is whistling on the radio now. Harriet Turner plays his accompaniment. They've finally built that Teen-age Canteen down in Florence. Frankie Oliver, Betty Cutler, and Bertha Turner are in charge. The place is supposed to be classy. Marion Ruth McCall is running a successful chicken farm. Charles Pack, Gus Cottros, and Alfred Walker are her egg gatherers. Yeah! Betty Miles McCrary keeps the roosters happy. Betty Jean, you remember Anna Griffin? Well, she's taken over Mrs. Edmund's place in the office of dear old McClenaghan High School. We had some ripe times there, didn't we? They've finally built an indoor pool so the students can swim any time they have an extra studyhall. The pool is open at night, too. Henry Dixon is the new swim- ming teacher. Ruth Eden teaches vocal music in the new music department. It's a separate building and quite nice. Nancy Kendall is the head of a large staff of office workers. She really keeps them busy. It's called the CIO—Chamber of Idiotic Officer Work- ers. Betty Harrell is the new librarian, with Ann Lee, Dorothy Greene, and Jessie Richardson as- sisting her in her duties. Joan Baker has an orphanage full of babies. In fact it's SO FULL that she has a sign out front that says Baker s Babies For Sale—Cheap.” Reba Anne Bryce and Polly Bondy have a very successful law firm. Maybe they can get Shirley out of Sing Sing. Betty Jean, let me ask you about Roger Stacy. He's very successful now with his violin, isn't he? That's good. Teddy Young is another big farmer over here. He's still down in South Carolina. Russell Stokes is his Chief Foreman. Billy Turner owns a de--------vine drug store. Everybody hangs out in it, so I’ve heard. You know. I'm going back to Florence one of these days. Let's do! Alice Dickman has become the very successful owner of a large department store with Faye Montrose her private secretary, and Dorothy Tol- son her manager. Jean Elliott has divorced her first husband, and she has a shop up here in New York. 33 Betty Jean, I know something that will ease the pain in your leg. Dick Pridgeon has invented a salve that is just wonderful. How do you like my hair this color? Kathleen Conyers' Beauty Shop on Fifth Avenue really is a wonderful place. I saw Betty Neil Hodge in there the other day. She is an author now. Talking about writing, I heard that Harold Jordan is writ- ing The Biography of an Insect. I can hardly wait to read it. Tom Griffin is at present the head man at Annapolis. Albert Bateman has been trying to graduate from there for the past nine years. He can’t pass sewing. Peggy Bass runs a girls’ school in Canada. What’s that, Betty Jean????? NO!!! How long? Fourteen feet!! 160 pounds?? Black and white?? Who?? Newell Cox and LaVann Cross- well?? I didn't know they liked to fish. They mounted it? That fish I've got to see! How are Perry Taylor and J. R. Gause coming along with those grapefruit they’re cultivating? I know they are something! Do you like this new sweater I've got on? Lois Edmunds designed it. She's in the business now, and has turned out some luscious ones. Clar- ence Matthews handles the men’s department. Frank Capell has a traveling musical with Dean Fowler managing the business end. He's really made something out of it. Oh yeah, Betty Jean, there's a hospital up here for masterminds that have cracked up. Betty Car- olyn Howell (literary soul), Jewel Godfrey (music maid), and Katherine Shane (in the art class) are up there jibbering about something. I’m on the way there now — you know — genius — Catch ?? Well, never mind. Helen Creamer plays the piano for some big radio program. Another Iturbi in the making. Margaret Clark and Opal Chambless are for- eign correspondents. Sounds mighty exciting to me. Mildred Carr is in Africa teaching all the na- tives English, but they seem to prefer jive. I can just see her now. Probably using hand signs. Mary and Doris Taylor have gone on the radio as the Taylor Twins. They specialize in singing commercials. Everette Fowler sells typewriters—with a spe- cial demonstration. Billy Johnson puts out the brand he sells. Bill Culberson sells Culberson’s Cucumbers. No, I don't think he sells many because people are kind of hacked at the sieht of a pink cucumber. Roland Hewitt and Mack PooJe have gone into the inventing side of life. They have invented everything from a machine that measures the weight of a hole of a doughnut to the height of the sky. Wadad Abu-Arab, Betty Blagg, Valeria McRae, and Peggy Marze went on a sight seeing trip to Alaska. They happened to get very enthusiastic over the looks of things, so they decided to stay up there. They’ve helped the population of Alaska a lot. I had my fortune told the other day. I noticed a familiar ring in the teller s voice, and Betty Jean, it was none other than Joyce Maxwell. She really fixed up my future. Margarette Abrams, Betty Jo Graham, and Betty Ann Carter have opened a studio. They take dog pictures. Margarette gets the customers, Betty Jo takes the pictures, and Betty Ann retouches. Pat Godwin is there delivering them. They have a time—especially with St. Bernards. Betty Jean Harrell, Maxine Hinds, and Kather- ine Gaskill have opened a dating agency in Flor- ence, Betty Jean, with their offices located in Green Acres. You know there is still a large gathering out there. Aubrey Deas puts out a new magazine for men. Thug is its name. Teddy McKnight, Glen Rodrique, and Ralph Rogers are on his staff. I'll send you a copy as I—Ahem—subscribe. Louise Watson and Betty Ruth Williams arc the present owners of The Morning News. I think they are planning to change the name from The Morning News to The Day-After-Blues. Betty Jean, I know you are getting tired of all this gossip, but I just had to tell you about the Eastern Coast. There's just one more thing I can think of. Dorothy Sports and Catherine Summerford have moved to Frances Collins’ estate out near Los Angeles. You must go see them. Yeah, take a taxi. Jack Dawkins owns a fleet of them. I must go. Louise is out in Gravel Gertie. No telling where we ll end up this time. Maybe we'll go to Florence. Okay! Bye. 4D 4 4 THE CRT REID THE CRRRRY” One of the most important events of the year to the seniors is the presentation of their class play. This year The Cat and the Canary, a thrilling melodrama by John Wil- lard, was given before an enthusiastic audience which filled the auditorium to capacity. Staged with sound and lighting effects of professional perfection, the production was an overwhelming success largely because of the skilled direction of Abbott E. Lake, Jr. Members of the cast, all of whom gave splendid performances, were Betty Jean Brooks, Katherine Shane, Margaret King, Frances Tuttle, Townes Thomas, Zeb Beck, Herbert McFarland, St. Clair Smith, Charlie Motte, and Tommy Griffin.

Chief Nell Richardson Shirley Wolfe Joan Patterson Sarah Houck Walter Moorman 66 FOOTBALL This year the Yellow Jackets, under the tine coaching of Jack Shivers and Jack Orsini, was one of the best teams in the state. At the summer practice, fifty-two boys reported, among them nine letter men. These were whittled down to a twenty-two man first team, the rest going to the “B” team. In the annual opener with Lake View, the Jackets scored their first victory to the tune of 19-0. The next game, against Orangeburg, was a fast and furious one. but again it ended in favor of Florence. 30-33. The Jackets again triumphed over their opponents in the third game. This time it was Darlington who “bowed to a 19-0 defeat. When Florence traveled to Camden, the boys were out to make up for the beating they received from the “Bulldogs’ last year and were very disappointed when the game ended in a 8-6 tie. But the winning streak of the Jacket team was broken in the game with the Capitols of Columbia. One of the most exciting games of the year, it ended with a 20-19 victory for the Caps. In the game with Hartsville’s “Bed Foxes. ' the Florence boys again started their winning streak with a 12-0 victory. Then came the thriller of the year. The Jackets met the “Gators’ of Georgetown In their own territory. The “Gators’ were rated as one of the best teams in the state this year, and were undefeated for thirty straight games. Their luck ran out that night, for the Florence boys beat them 19-14. Then the Jackets met bad luck, and were defeated by the “Bear Cats’’ of Rock Hill 27-0. After a cancellation by Olympia, the Jackets met a fine team from Lumberton. N. C. The “Tar Heels,” a very game team, met defeat and felt the sting of the Yellow Jackets by 19-6. Then the annual “Turkey Day’’ game with our old rivals. Sumter. Luck was still against us in this classic. In the las tminutes of the game, the “Gamecocks’ made the winning touchdown against an injury riddled Jacket team to win 13-6. Two post season games were played this year. The first, a game with Griffin. Ga.. which will be returned by the Florence boys next year, ended in a 0-0 tie. The last was a game in which the home town boys met boys from fifteen neighboring towns. The All-Stars, as they were called, met defeat at the hands of the Jacket team by 13-6. This was a benefit game for the memorial stadium to be erected in Florence. 67 Florence 20 Florence 23 Florence 29 Florence 18 Florence 17 Florence 18 Florence 21 Florence 23 Florence 19 Mullins 30 Summerville ifl Darlington 13 Blue Flashes 31 “B” Jr. High Midgets 12 Swedes 30 Conway 19 Conway 11 Mullins 89 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The Jncquette had a very good record this year, losing only two high school games.

Cecil 803-383-7524 30F - July 17, 1996 SONOCO (NYSE:SON) REPORTS SECOND QUARTER, FIRST HALF RESULTS AND ANNOUNCES STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM. BOARD DECLARES REGULAR QUARTERLY DIVIDEND Hartsville, SC — Sonoco is reporting increased earnings for the second quarter and for the first six months of 1996 when compared with the company's record results for the same periods in 1995, it was announced today by C. W. Coker, chairman and chief executive officer. The company also announced, in a separate release, that its board of directors has authorized a public stock repurchase program of up to $100 million of the company's common and or Series A Cumulative convertible preferred stock. Sonoco is reporting fully diluted earnings per share of $.47 for the second quarter of 1996, a 6.8% increase over the $.44 per share reported for the second quarter of 1995. Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter was $44.8 million, a 6.3% increase over the $42.2 million reported for the second quarter of last year. Sales for the second quarter were $689.9 million, compared with $691.7 million in the second quarter of 1995. Fully diluted earnings per share for the first half of 1996 were $.90, an 11.1% increase over the $.81 recorded in the first six months of 1995. Net income available to common shareholders for the first two quarters was $86.1 million, a 10.7% increase over the $77.8 million in 1995. The company’s sales for the first six months of this year were $1.4 billion, compared with $1.3 billion in the first six months of 1995. We are pleased with the results from the first six months of this year, which keep us on track toward our Vision 2000 goal of doubling the sales and earnings of Sonoco from our 1994 base by the year 2000,” said Mr. Coker. The second quarter comparisons were against one of the highest performing quarters in Sonoco's 97- year history, the second quarter of 1995. Yet we continued to show healthy earnings growth and some slight increases in sales volume in many of our product lines, which we expect will continue through the remainder of 1996. The modest second quarter sales dollar decline reflects the lower paperboard, recovered paper and converted product prices resulting from reduced materials costs, noted Mr. Coker. Sonoco’s second quarter earnings results show the strength of the balance between our industrial and consumer packaging operations and our broad geographic reach. We have seen the improvement trend continue in our international operations, with earnings increasing 15.8% for the quarter, added Mr. Coker. He also noted that demand for consumer packaging remained strong throughout the quarter, balancing some of the weakness in the industrial markets. Sonoco’s packaging portfolio shows approximately 60% of the product line serving industrial packaging and 40% serving consumer packaging. The company has more than 270 operations in 29 countries, serving customers in 85 nations. Sonoco’s board of directors authorized a public stock repurchase program that will allow the company to purchase, from time to time, up to $100 million in the company's common stock and or Series A Cumulative Convertible preferred stock at current market prices. This program offers Sonoco an opportunity to further enhance shareholder value by repurchasing some of our stock, which we believe is selling at discounted prices, said Mr. Coker. He added, This action by the board reflects their confidence, and that of our management, in the future of Sonoco's worldwide packaging operations and in the company’s ability to achieve Vision 2000. Dividend Declared The board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.165 per share. This 285th consecutive dividend will be payable September 10, 1996, to shareholders of record August 16, 1996. —more— I SONOCO REPORTS SECOND QUARTER, FIRST HALF RESULTS - page 2 Second Quarter Growth Productivity Initiatives Sonoco announced several tactical acquisitions during the second quarter of 1996. The company has signed a letter of intent to acquire Specialty Packaging, a niche producer of specialty composite cans, speciality lines of metal closures and tubes and cores with annual sales of approximately $38 million. And. Sonoco recently announced expansion of its European consumer packaging with the acquisition of two of Germany's leading paperboard can manufacturing companies. Those acquisitions, which had 1995 sales of between $10 million and $15 million, give Sonoco a strong base from which to grow consumer packaging in Germany, a country of more than 80 million consumers. The company announced the realignment of several operations in its industrial products division as part of the ongoing activities of Process Excellence, a continuing, aggressive business redesign effort in the company’s North American industrial products and paper operations. In the announced realignment, seven of the division's facilities will be closed. The sales volume and assets of those plants are being transferred to several other facilities around the country. Two of those closings took place during the second quarter. The other five will be completed during 1996. Sonoco Engraph also announced the consolidation of multiple label making facilities in New Jersey, resulting in the closing of a plant in Moorestown, N.J. Sonoco continued to expand production of its rectangular composite can, which began commercial production in the first quarter of this year. The new package drew intense interest from prospective customers when shown at Interpack, the world's largest packaging show. Segment Reporting Changes Sonoco is changing its segment reporting methods with this second quarter 1996 announcement, reporting the company’s operations as Industrial Packaging and Consumer Packaging. We think this new segment reporting will make it much easier for investors to understand Sonoco's financial performance. Also, this system is more in line with the way we view our businesses internally, explained Mr. Coker. Under this new segment reporting, the Industrial Packaging segment includes: tubes, cores, cones, roll wrap, molded plugs and related products and services (the company's global Industrial Products Division); fibre drums, plastic drums and intermediate bulk containers (the Industrial Container Division); molded and extrusion plastics (Sonoco Crcllin); paper manufacturing and recovered paper collections (the Paper Division); fibre partitions; molded pulp and Sonopost comer posts (the Protective Packaging Division); reels for wire and cable (Sonoco Baker); adhesives; machinery manufacturing; and forest products. The Consumer Packaging segment includes: composite cans, fibre and plastic caulk cartridges (the Consumer Products Division); capseals; plastic tennis ball containers; flexible packaging (Flexible Packaging Division); plastic bags (the High Density Film Products Division); and pressure-sensitive labels, screen printing, paperboard packaging and label machinery (Sonoco Engraph). The former reporting included segments called Converted Products, Paper and International. A chart is included showing what Sonoco's segments would have looked like if the former segment reporting had been continued. This chart is shown in this release for the convenience of the financial community but will not be included in subsequent quarterly reporting. INDUSTRIAL PACKAGING Segment Review Second quarter 1996 operating profit in the Industrial Packaging segment was $55.7 million on sales of $391.9 million. Operating profit for the same period in 1995 was $53.8 million on sales of $416.2 million. For the first six months of 1996, operating profit for this segment was $107.5 million on sales of $766.1 million. For the first half of 1995, operating profit for Industrial Packaging was $98.7 million on sales of $797.2 million. Overall sales were up in the tube and core business, reflecting some recent acquisitions and increases in the company's general film core business in the United States and slight increases in the textile carrier business in Mexico and Germany. The paper mill core business was down in all geographic regions, reflecting —more— SONOCO REPORTS SECOND QUARTER, FIRST HALF RESULTS - page 3 the lower demand in the paper industry. Overall, business was strong in Canada and the new operations in Brazil added to sales because these operations were not included in last year's second quarter. Process Excellence continues on schedule with savings expected to balance program-related costs during 1996 and with positive savings being expected to begin in 1997. The Sonoco Crellin operation, molded and extrusion plastics, showed a good increase during the second quarter as their textile carrier business began to rebound and the Sebro automotive plastics business remained strong. The intermediate bulk container business had strong sales during the quarter while both fibre and plastic drum sales were weak. Partitions, protective packaging, reels, adhesives and machinery manufacturing increased volume during the quarter. The two most significant sources of sales dollar decline in the second quarter were the drop in recovered paper prices and the decrease in selling price for Sonoco's cylinder paperboard and corrugating medium. While approximately 80% of Sonoco’s paperboard is used internally, all of the corrugating medium is sold on contract to Georgia-Pacific. Corrugating medium prices were down $150 per ton from the second quarter of 1995. Another major factor in this segment's sales decline was in recovered paper. Sonoco uses much of the paper collected by its paper recycling businesses. However, as Sonoco has expanded its collection efforts, it has begun to make a larger market in external sales of this raw material. During the second quarter of 1995, prices for this material were approximating $200 dollars per ton. In the second quarter of 1996, those prices were approximately $60 per ton. significantly affecting sales in the industrial packaging segment. Profits expanded in this segment by 3.6% due to margin expansion. CONSUMER PACKAGING Operating profit in the Consumer Packaging segment was $33.7 million on sales of $297.9 million for the second quarter. In the second quarter of 1995, operating profit was $26.7 million on sales of $275.5 million. Consumer packaging operating profit for the first six months was $64.5 million on sales of $593 million. Consumer operating profit for the first six months of 1995 was $52.1 on sales of $539.7 million. Volume was up approximately 10% in the composite can operations led by strong sales in several food and beverage markets in the United States and good performance in Europe and Latin America. This operation continued to benefit from increased sales of its new rectangular can and conversion of a major self manufacturer. The capseals operation, based in England, continued to expand sales and benefitted from a new poly extrusion machine that was in full production during the second quarter. The High Density Film Products operation had strong volume during the second quarter, with the grocery market up more than 17% over 1995. The division, which increased capacity by more than two billion bags in 1995, is operating at capacity during 1996. The patent infringement suit that had been filed against Sonoco in May 1994 was dismissed by the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts in May of this year. Sales were oft in the flexible packaging business, resulting from start-up problems with new presses. Sales improved in the Sonoco Engraph operations primarily due to the fourth quarter 1995 acquisition of Cricket Converters, which was not included in the second quarter performance of 1995. Sonoco Engraph continued consolidating its various label operations under the Sonoco Engraph brand during the quarter. In addition, the screen printing operations had solid sales performance in the quarter, with added volume fleet graphics for the Olympic games in Atlanta. Corporate Expenses In the new segment reporting method, general corporate expenses have been allocated as operating costs to each of the segments. Interest expense increased in the second quarter of 1996 due to higher debt resulting from acquisitions and issuance of industrial revenue bonds for start up of some new operations. —more— SONOCO REPORTS SECOND QUARTER, FIRST HALF RESULTS - page 4 I CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME (Unaudited) (Dollars and shares in thousands except per share) THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED June 30.
