Surely no class has enjoyed in fuller measure the fellowship we have found in work and in play. We have experienced moments of exaltation and moments of sorrow, hut our only regret is that the fleeting years have passed so swiftly. Thus, let us begin at the begin- ning. and relive in our memories the varied events that have characterized our twelve glorious school years. In September of 1937 a group of timid, self-conscious boys and girls made their initial entrance presumably ac- companied by their parents into the grammar schools. The immensity of the strange and wondrous surroundings tended at first to frighten us. however, through our companionship, school soon became more pleasant, and we no longer feared the teacher. Soon the time came when we would move to a higher grade. Our arrival in the third grade marked a new experience. No longer would it he necessary for us to rely on the childish method of printing in order to convey our thoughts to paper —we were learning to write! Upon entrance into the sixth grade, we began to feel a greater measure of importance. During this time the two Florence grammar schools underwent a change of name. In memory of Miss Florence McKenzie, beloved teacher and principal. Circle School was renamed McKenzie School. Park School was now called Harllee School in honor of Miss Margaret L. Harllee, esteemed teacher. Active in most schools is a student patrol, and. because they were important, and knew' it. these stalwart figures, to the dismay of any unfortunate culprits, glee- fully took full advantage of their authority. That year we received our first taste of politics. In McKenzie School a hotly contested election saw' Bohhv Barham and Louisa Lovelace named president and vice-president. In Harllee School Sue Nell I ester officiated as president and Betty Jernigan as vice-president. Proof that we were no longer children was the fact that we were now compelled (or should I say supposed?) to buy adult theater tickets. Do not. however, investigate too closely our honesty on such occasions. Never staying in the same place long, we nomads made in 1944 a grand en- trance into Junior High, where our in- ability to grasp the tempo of things caused confusion. Soon, nevertheless, we adjusted ourselves and became an in- tegral part of a big organization. This glorious occasion proved the gullibility of the average seventh grader, with the upper class now threatening us at every turn. No day passed without addition to our collection of bruises. It was commonplace to sec some youngster purchasing a ticket permitting him to walk anywhere. For an extra two hits he was assured of complete safety. For the first time we learned the meaning of A s. Bs. and (is. Heretofore we had been graded by I’s and S‘s with an S denoting from 70to lOO f. For Junior immediately to fall from an S to a C was a mystery to his parents, and a matter of great pain to Junior. Alas truth will out. and we could no longer disguise our actual grades. Quicker than we knew the eighth grade was here. The hated and horrible memories of our sufferings the previous year made every boy wreak vengeance on the new recruits. Of course, we travel- ed in gangs for our own protection. In our presidential election, political fever reached the boiling point. Mascots of the different candidates ran wildly around the school. F very one was prom- ising everything to everybody. Tre- mendous posters occupied all corners. In a campaign that wras notable for its mud-slinging, Bobby Barham and Belli Yarborough were elected president and vice-president. At last the long awaited moment ar- rived. and we were privileged to enter the portal of that hallowed institution—High School. In 1945 the Board of School Commissioners had changed the name of Florence High School to MeClenaghan High School in honor of Mr. John C. MeClenaghan. who had so loyally served on the School Board for thirty-three years, serving as chairman for the last twelve. Under constant ridicule, the freshmen hoys were affectionately called ‘‘those runts”. A drastic change occurred in the girls, who became sophisticated, devel- 15 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1949 oped poise, and took advantage of every opportunity to practice those newly ac- quired “feminine wiles . Our first official act as freshmen was to elect class officers. Bohbv Barham was elected president. James McLeod. Jr., vice-president. Betty Jean Seymour, secretary. Jack Kaufmann. treasurer, and Miss ' Roberta Andrews. Sponsor. Enable to do very much that year, the class of ’49 was proud of its contribu- tion to the May Court in the persons of Joan Simpson, Alice I,ide, and Cynthia Perkins. It was no secret that great things lay ahead. Our sophomore year saw Colonel John W. Moore retire as superintendent of city schools and Mr. John M. Harllee as- sume his position. Mr. George W. Mc- Cown became the new high school princi- pal. This year Miss Roberta Andrews was again sponsor, with our capable execu- tives being Bobby Barham. Jack Kauf- mann. Betty Jean Seymour, and Bobby Gene McLellan. Inauguration of the Bobbie Sox Bowl was one of the year’s outstanding events, with the Notorious Dames and the Blue Jeans providing a breath-taking spectacle which terminated in a scoreless tie. May of this year brought, quite naturally. May Day. No doubt we were a bit prejudiced because we considered Betty Godfrey, Cynthia Perkins, and Joan Simpson, attendants from our class, by far the most beautiful. With a confident air the Class of ’49 adjusted themselves to the Junior year. Subconsciously we tried to imitate those “dignified Seniors” through our actions and mannerisms. Knowing that progress meant more authority, w'e fully enjoyed our advanced position. Bob Barham, James McLeod, Jr., Marilyn Camlin. and Jack Kaufmann were our officers, with Miss Alice Brun- son serving as our sponsor. In our Junior year. Florence and Mc- Clenaghan High School were grieved by the sudden passing of their beloved friend and teacher. Miss Marie Gregory, whose inspiration had always been a guiding light, and whose irreparable loss was felt deeply. In her memory, a plaque was presented to the school by the class of 1938. of which she had been sponsor, and the National Honor Society, which she had faithfully served as adviser for many years, raised one thousand dollars for CARE. Nearing the end of the school year, we again observed May Day. Represent- ing our class. Vi Barringer and Joan Simpson were very impressive. I poll completion of examinations, the twelve juniors with the highest scholastic achievement were named marshals for the following year. Summer was upon us before we could realize it. then one bright September morn, 124 optimistic students reentered for the last time McClenaghan High School. The previous eleven years seemed but a few moments. We were no longer rising Seniors- we had risen! With this year came a feeling of superiority which is difficult to describe. To lead the Student Council we elected James McLeod. Jr., and Bobby Gene Mc- Lellan as president and vice-president. For the fourth time in succession Bob Barham was elected president of his class, which was appropriately called the “Forty-Niners”. This was a fitting trib- ute for so capable a leader. Ted Morton was chosen vice-president. Vi Barringer, secretary, and Jack Kaufmann. treasurer. No class, past or present, could hope for a better group of officers: their devotion to duty was unceasing. A major source of senior activity was provided by the selection of our class ring. At a class meeting we voted over- whelmingly for the ruby stone and ten carat gold. Great excitement reigned on the day of their arrival. No time elapsed before launching of the magazine campaign to raise funds for our annual. The class of 49, show'ing its mettle, set a new all-time record in total sales and in beating Edmunds High School of Sumter in the friendly contest between the schools. For this feat the Curtis Publishing Company awarded the Senior Class a trophy commemorating its achievement. The Honor Salesmen list was large, and to these hard workers and to every student participating the Florentine is indebted. Work began on the 1949 Florentine with the election of Harriett Mclnnes as Editor-in-Chief and Louisa Lovelace as Business Manager of a most capable staff, which toiled diligently to achieve the best possible annual. Significantly, 16 HISTORY OF THE CLHSS OF 1949 the Forty-Niners selected gold for the color of their yearbook, and were proud to be the first class in the history of our school to have a gold annual. This year the Florence Yellow Jackets saw service under a new mentor. Coach Rhoten Shelley. Endowed with a fighting spirit, the Yellow Jackets constantly put forth their best efforts. Co-captains Bobby Gene McLellan and Guy Nichols were singularly honored by their se- lection as members of the All Slate Team. Not superstitious by nature, we aren’t inclined to believe in jinxes, but this year as in previous years, our football team was unable to cope with the Sumter ag- gregation. Lady Luck frowned on us as a well-coached, deserving Sumter eleven defeated us by a score of six to zero. However, to symbolize the bond of good will which shall always exist between Florence and Sumter, the respective stu- dent body presidents exchanged the Friendship Cup at half-time. For either team victory or defeat will only enhance the brotherly love which exists between us. With the selection of our invitations, the Senior Class completed its official business for the first semester. After Christmas came the historic day when our annual went to press. No soon- er had it gone than we were excitedly counting the days for its return. In prep- aration for the great day. Seniors could be noticed buying ball point pens and practicing their autographs. Highlighting the spring was the pro- duction of our annual class play, under the direction of Miss Edna Pettigrew. It was well worth all of our hard work be- cause it received high praise. No less spectacular was the colorful Junior- Senior. May furnished the occasion for the royal festivities of the coronation of Miss Vi Barringer as Queen of the May. As Maid of Honor Miss Joan Simpson in- creased the splendor of the moment. Surrounding the queen were twelve beautiful attendants. The Forty-Niners were especially pleased by their selections of Joni Thompson. Sue Nell Lester, Louisa Lovelace, and Betty Godfrey as senior representatives. Throughout our high school years, members of our class have distinguished themselves in various activities, and have brought many honors to our Alma Mater. The Yellow jacket, the band, and Future Farmers of America continued to win new laurels. The sk'll and clean sports- manship of our classmates in all sports will long be remembered. Organized within the last two years were the De- baters’ Club, the Science Club, and the Key Club. In all fields of activity our classmates have left records to which we point with pride. Another year, our last year in high school, was nearing completion. Final examinations saw the more industrious students prepare for graduation. Know- ing that we are on the last chapter of an historic book, the Class of ’49 wishes to take this opportunity to express their deepest gratitude to those persons who have made it possible for us to secure an education, we shall never forget the inspiration and guidance of our teachers. To Miss Mary Manning Hanner. our beloved Senior Class Sponsor and our loyal friend, the Class of ’49 will always be indebted. Time eternal cannot erase her from our memories. We, the Class of ’49. may liken our journey through the years to an hour glass. The sands of time are rapidly diminishing, w ith the completion of this phase of our life marking the birth of a new one. As time marches on, the nostalgic memories of our first twelve school years will be cherished forever. With heaviness in our hearts, yet filled with anticipation of a bright future, the Class of 1949 bids farewell to McClenag- han High School, resolved that we may ever be worthy sons and daughters of our beloved ALMA MATER.

This is your New York reporter, who, since replacing Walter Winchell, has annually dedicated this week's broadcast to the whereabouts of those gadabouts, the Florence High class of ’49. Rut first, a word from my sponsor . . . Hobby McDonald once made up a potion! Which put in his ambitious head a notion! He bottled the stuff Til he thought he’d enough; And then sold it for “Slickum-Hair Lotion. ’ Yes, Slickum-Hair Lotion is ideal for unruly hair. Say A. H. and J. . Rogers, “Since posing for our last ‘Which twin has the Toni? Slick- um-Hair Lotion has proved indispensable in the up-keep of our up-sweeps.” So follow the twins’ example ami try McDonalds Slickum-Hair Lotion if you have trouble keeping the wool out of your eyes. Now if my assistant and former classmate, Emma Tolson, will hand me my script, we’ll go on with the broadcast: Flash! South Carolina’s young politicians have formed another party, more progressive than the Dixiecrats. It is called the Runny Duck Party, and plans to run James McCleod, Jr., for president in '60. Charlie Raters is planning to run with him and will he his vice . . . president, that is. The election of 60 will make history if the Republicans' tentative plans work out. It will be the first time a woman will have run for vice-president. Tom E. Dewey will be up to old tricks again, backed by his most loyal party member, L. Harriett Tinsley. However, the Runny Ducks will probably win a sweeping victory. Even now. one year previous to the election, the bookie syndicate (report- edly headed by Lory Evans, Edward Newsome, Harry Lewis, and George Josey), is spotting points in favor of the Runny Ducks. Newell Coleman and Jackie Hodge struck oil when they began the manufacture of “Runny Ducks.” the most popular toy for tots since the Sparkle Plenty Doll. . . . In 1952, Tommy Amader finally got Hetty Lou Watson on that row boat to China. And I bet I know who did the rowing. . . . Rroadway! A revival of that old favorite. “Life with Father,” has proved just as popular as the original version. It might be attributed to the fact that none of the cast wears wigs . . . they’re all natural redheads! Ray Snyder. Juanita Furse, Margaret Hewitt, and June Rogers June has terrible trouble remembering her line), have parts and Hobby McLel an plays “Father.” Hobby is quite famous now and David R'oodard, an enterprising young man. to say the least, has made quite a tidy little sum by selling for fabulous amounts all those little bandages which lie wisely saved after they had served their healing purposes back in Red's high school football days. . . . Hobby Pittman is by chance running a used car lot called “Rar s Field.” I’ve heard that he’s kept in business by that gallivanting Hallie Mae Harrows who uses a car a month running away from all her pursuers. . . . David Colvin has made noted improvements on the Mickey Mouse watch by computations with his slide rub . Putting his psychology to use. David has employed Ted Morton to put his product before the public by powerful street corner speeches, reminiscent of Te Ts debating days. These fiery orations are written for Ted by Carolyn Eades, John Odom, and Harbara Fields. . . . Since our graduation, several of my class- mates have chosen radio careers. Robert Piciril i has replaced Jack Armstrong as the All-American Roy; instead of “Just Plain Rill’’ it’s now “Just Plain Willie” (Ervin, of course); Hilly Hagnal sings on the Hit Parade, but only the No. 1 Tune (because his voice is so valuable) ; Jackie Pettigrew tells each week of the adventures of not “Her Friend Irma” but “Her Friend Peggy” (Warren); Hobby (Gandy) and Tyler (Hill) are waiting around as understudies until old age overcomes Ozzie and Harriett; Gene Edens prepares all scripts for that funniest of all gag teams, Charlie Howie and Richard Hrackett: and every Satur- day night after Hilly has sung the Top Tune, independent tobacco man R . P. Ashby states: “Ah’ve been around weah-houses fo’ nigh on thutty yeahs, and Ah've seen Luckies buy th' best tobacco. L.S.M.F.T.. 1 mean. Sho’ nuff. you-all.” Hollywood! Harbara Howie and Tressie R il- Rams, faces still innocent of any make-up. are competing for the title role in The Paleface.” Quite a few of my old classmates are wav- out west where men are men. relaxing at 41 PROPHECY Allen JeffortTs dude ranch. Allen really has a nice place with pro “Tee Pee (Vernon) Harwell in charge of his golf course. Crystaline Jordan ami Jean Williams conduct other sports. Allen has imported a couple of Powers’ Models to decorate his swimming pool. (Joni Thomp- son and Barbara Killenger always did look good in bathing suits.) Joan Simpson is one of his most frequent patrons. Allen wonders why she keeps coming hack like a song. Guess it’s that California climate. . . . La t week Betty Jean Seymour was pulling her cross-eyed, tongue-protruding stunt, and Lois McPherson, with whom Betty Jean has gone through that “Key-lock, key-lock, can’t unjoin 'til I say so” routine, froze her. Poor B. J., I knew she’d do that once too often . . . she has to stay frozen until Lois. who is in the infirmary with a broken pedal digit, touches her. Open letter to a little business man: Pamplico, S. C. Available Vance's Agency My dear classmate, l ance Loy. Through various sources 1 have heard that your business is not doing too well. I must admit that 1’ can hardly see how you could expect it to thrive. After all. Christmas comes hut once a year and you must realize that during the rest of the year there's just not much demand for carolers, even though Wade Ai ant, David Brown. Lynwood Floyd, ami Gordon Dennis do harmonize well. The same goes for your Santa Clauses, Jimmy Crosswell and Car! Wilson. Now 1 realize that you have other talent in your employ, but how often do you hire out l eonora Badder and Edith Finklea as candle snuffers? Ami even tho Ted Thomp- son is a professional pole sitter, is he often in demand? Think over tin matter, Vance, and see if you can't improve your business. Sincerely. An Old Classmate From Pamplico I take you, my unseen audi- ence, to Florence, where Miriam Harllee and Bill Barrineau, in defense of all puppy lovers, are picketing all teachers who would destroy budding high school romances by alphabetical seating arrangements. . . . Flash!! Emma has just handed me a bulletin which will shock the whole world!! For the first time in U. S. history, an American citizen has been awarded a royal title! At an im- pressive ceremony earlier today Bob Barham was made a “Duke” by the president of that university for being so interested in said school. . . . The world has never known a greater lover of birds than Gloria Nichols. She collects them, strange tho' it may seem, and she now has one big and four little owls of the rare “Barne” species. Between permanents, Charles McCown obligingly aids her. . . . I'he most startling news story of the week is about Marion Kirven, who. while at Niagara Falls to see Glenda Thomas, champion tight rope walker, walk across the falls, walked across the rope himself one night in his sleep! He should pay Jake Kafer, the psychiatrist, a visit. Opening in Madison Square Gardens next week will be the famous Barfield (Hugh) ami Bailey (T. C.) Circus. Barfield and Bailey have many attractions such as Berta Lee W eatherford. the “bearded” lady, Lucille “Come Out Alive” Conyers, lady lion-tamer, and that daring aerial team, “Green Orr White with Lucille, Jane, and Pat perform- ing without nets. The main feature, however, is “Rapid Robert’s Rodeo”, with that Hyman man really giving the junior cowboys a good time. His chief cowgirl, Valerie Burbot, is breathtaking when she gallops in hanging by a wad of bubble gum under the horse! While all this is going on, Mary Haynie wanders through the crowd selling “Welsh” rarebit. I might add that you shouldn't miss the freak show where William “Baby” McLeod is dis- played as the only man alive with a price tag on him. Washington! Richard Powell is now lobby- ing his Congresswoman, Marilyn Camlin, to bring before the Senate the fact that the Battle of Bunker Hill was not on the level. . . . Robert Earle James is running a health center at Ocean Drive. At “James Gym” he makes deep-voiced, broad-shouldered, barrel- chested athletes out of such raw material as Bill Maher, Andy Geddings, Kimsey Wood, and Dan Thompson, who, heretofore, made their livings by modeling for Charles Atlas “before” ads. Mary Ada Huggins hangs around to keep up Robert Earle's big he-man spirits. Jackie Jones and Mary Jane Jeffords have a very exclusive dress shop. They make all 42 PROPHECY their products and when they disagree over any sewing detail, they consult their chief tailor-tacker, “Spittjff Mclnnes. Their “Jackie- Jane” fashions are advertised only in the new fashion mag, “Twenty-seven,” edited by Laura Sue Mitchell and her competent staff, on which Hettie Hoscoe is Art Editor. Gerald Scarborough and Jack Atkins have surpassed “Dizzy” Gillespie’s fame by develop- ing their own musical style, which the hep- cats call “bop-he”. . . . Betty Godfrey, the beautiful movie star, had a masquerade party the other night and invited some old friends. Carolyn Hinds dug out some old bohhy-sox and went as a ’49’er high school girl. I ve heard that Katharine Gregg also brought in some of her past by going to the party as a library assistant . . . wonder what her costume was? Gerald Yoilmans is pursuing a career in the Navy, hut he’s not doing well. His superior officers always think lie's joking when he is asked his name and rank. After all. I suppose “Yeoman Youmans” does sound rather silly. .. . Billie Nell Robertson and Joyce Rat iffe are hostesses on the same plane on which I.essie Ivey and Glen McLeod are co pilots! I hope they pilot that plane with more care than they tore around town in cars. I’ll bet when Pat Holland flew up to Me Bee the other day she was really surprised when she got on their flight. Old “Neverseens from Evergreen,” Sue Nell (nee Lester) and EarI Jordan, must he so happy down on that farm that they just must not bother to go out except to feed the biddies. It’s a good thing they have as good an overseer as Jack Hudson. Of course, hack at V. H. S. there are a couple of fugitives from the '49 class. Jeff Bateman has taken over Mr. Nolan’s place; Marilyn Douglas, that brain, teaches anything; and Jo Ann Stone has charge of all hoys' athletics. Wonder how she worked that? Frances Sitter- son recently gave the school a donation with which to buy medals. These medals will he presented annually to good pupils. They will he called “The Good Sitterson-ship Medals.” Paul Webb has already enrolled again and is trying his darndest to get one! Have I mentioned before that Sarah Stephens is now happily married? And speaking of marriage reminds me of Louisa Lovelace and Jack Kaufmann's plan. They decided that they wanted to see the world, so since Louisa couldn’t join the Navy (because of some rule) and Jack didn't want to. they dye their hair a different color every month and appear on the “Bride and Groom” program. So far, they’ve been married twenty-two times and have been given trips to Hawaii. Australia, and Lower Slohhovia. They’re doing almost as well as Guy Nichols, who. by hook or crook (mostly hook), is trying to do everything mentioned in his favorite song “1’ Gan’t Get Started.” To date, he’s flown around the world in a plane and settled a revolution in Spain. When I mentioned those still at F. H. S.. I forgot to tell you that Carolyn HatchelL Martha Copeland. and Eve ea Hicks were there. They work in the cafeteria with Miss Levin and help whip up those wholesome meals. Everette Gause has brought her name into her business. She manufactures gause squares and calls her product “Gause Gause Squares” or “Gause- Squares.” George and Betty have done the same . . . Bobo's Bee Bees and Taylor s Tacks. . . . Now in signing off. let me remind you that Katharine Ret ell and James Mi Gee have been satisfied users of Slickum-Hair Lotion for years, and they still have hair. So run down to your nearest druggist and ask for a bottle of Mc- Donald' s lotion. It’s hound to go to your head. . . . I il next week, with lotions (Stickum, of course) of love, I remain your New York correspondent. . . . Vi Barringer Prophet 43 f 1. Georg� Bobo 2. Eve lea Hicks 3. Jackie Jones 4. Charley Waters 5.

Urged on by the enthusiastic spirits of their top salesmen, James McLeod. Jr., and Louisa Lovelace, the class members displayed super salesmanship. As a reward for achieving such a high goal, the class became the recipient of a hand- some trophy presented by the Curtis Publishing Company. For their individual support by selling 10 or more sub- scriptions during the campaign, various class members certainly deserve the recognition of being called HONOR SALESMEN. Wade Avant.

Bobby “Re l’’ McLellan won the coveted trophy awarded the most valuable player on the team. Another of his top ranking honors was that of being chosen to play in the annual Shrine Bowl Game in Charlotte, North Carolina. CO-CAPTAIN Gl Y NICHOLS Because of his outstanding ability in football, G iy Nichols was chosen to play on the South Carolina All-State football team in the Annual Shrine Bowl event. Having been on the starting line-up. and playing a great part of the game, he aided in holding the North Carolinians to a 7-7 deadlock. Nichols McLellan FOOTBRLL Using tin- single wing formation under the eapuhle direction of the new head mentor. Coach Rhoten Shetley. who was ahly assisted by Coaches Joe McNeill ami Bobby O'Hara, the Yellow Jackets completed the 1948 season with the statistics showing that they were never outclassed by any other team. Tough breaks and disputed plays provided some heartbreaks, hut throughout the entire rugged eleven game schedule, the team evidenced their fighting spirit. Only seven letter men returned—“Red McLellan, Guy Nichols, Boh Barham. “Corky” Dennis. Raul Webb. James Barnes and Pinckney Sims. McLellan and Nichols were Co-Captains, with Barham quarterbacking the team. Much credit is due the hard-working manager. Jimmy Dawkins. The Jackets got off to a had start by losing to a mighty Georgia team by a score of 19 to 6. Decatur made their touchdowns in the first half with Florence holding the Bulldogs ami scoring themselves in the second half. In the second game of tin season, the Jackets held a strong Batesburg-Leesville team to a 7 to 7 deadlock, with “Red” McLellan. leading the way, passing to Bobby Hyman for the tally. The Yellow Jackets broke one record, a victory over Columbia. 18 to 12. The Florence line played a whale of a game by throwing Columbia hacks for losses throughout the game with McLellan furnishing most of the offense. Anderson, having one of the best teams in the state, managed to tie the fighting Jackets in the final half 7 to 7. Guy Nichols ami Marion Lee were the defensive standouts. “Red” McLellan scored and the extra point was made by “Corky Dennis. 80 The Jackets started their losing streak with Camden taking a close game in the final minutes of play with the score reading 12 to 7. The old sleeper’’ play was used with Hyman catching to make Florence’s lone tally. With a passing attack that “just wouldn’t quit,” the Orangeburg Indians aided the Jackets' losing streak by defeating them 19 to 6. Steve I rick and “Red” McLellan were out of the game because of injuries, therefore the team was not at full strength. With Florence failing to score on two attempts, the llartsville Red Foxes swatted the Jackets 13 to 7 in llartsville. A fumble and a dropped pass were the principal causes of Florence’s losing this game. Jewel Sweatte, a big and speedy fullback, did the running for the Georgetown Gators, but when the running was over. Florence had won 14 to 13 to break their losing streak. It would be difficult to name the individual stars, as the whole team played heads up ball. Playing on a wet and muddy field, tin Jackets were downed by a big and strong Rock Hill team. The Bearcats scored 13 points in the third quarter and the game ended with Florence trailing 13 to 0. W ith Billy Stackley, Pinckney Sims, and “Red” McLellan out of the game by injuries, the Yellow Jackets lost to the Charleston Bantams by a score of 6 to 0, with the Bantams scoring in the last two minutes of the game. The Sumter Gamecocks, our traditional arch rivals, defeated the Yellow Jackets 6 to 0 in a rugged and hard fought game, marked by a dis- puted play. A pass from .McLellan to Barham, who ran for about 35 yards, was the offensive play of the night in a heartbreaking game. 81 BRSEBRLL Under the guidance of Coach Jack Shivers, the “always ready to go Yellow Jackets got off to a good start by downing l.atta 3-0. However, in the second game Latta gave the Jackets their first defeat by a close score of 8 to 7. After more practice, the Jackets turned the Columbia Capitols hack by a score of 5 to 2. North Charleston was the next victim whom the Jackets stung by a score of 11 to 8. Florence’s old rivals, Sumter, turned the Jackets for two losses with scores of 8 to 3 and 4 to 3. A game, I doubt, that any of the l oys will forget was the game with the “big town hoys” of Spartanburg, in which Bobby Hyman was outstanding in the Jackets’ victory over Spartanburg by the narrow margin of 6 to 5. A strong Florence aggregation set the Georgetown Gators hack by a score of 5 to 1. Mullins, being organized for tin first time, did not give much competition as the Jackets smothered them 15 to 1. I he final game of the season, with Mullins, was wet, and a seven inning affair. The Jackets slit! through to a 7 to 3 win. Lynwood Floyd and Don Shane were the leading hitters, with Billy Dusenbury and Walter Devault pitching effective hall during the season. W ith 7 wins and 4 defeats and out scoring opposition 68 to 50. the Yellow Jackets had a fair season. MEMBERS Jimmy Allen. Bob Barham.
