It is therefore with a feeling of great nostalgia that I commence this, the history of the class of 1950. It was a cool, crisp September morn in 1938. The early morning sun shone bright and clear upon a new generation about to embark upon the stormy sea of life. It becomes increasingly difficult to realize as the years roll on that the poised, self-confident Seniors of today are the same frightened youngsters who but twelve years ago stepped trembingly across the thresh- olds of Park and Circle schools to begin the acquirement of the first rudiments of an educa- tion. The six years which we spent within the walls of these institutions of learning shall remain engraved forever in the hearts and minds of all of us, a symbol of the long gone carefree days of childhood. The most memorable of these years was, perhaps, 1942, which saw the white elementary schools undergo a change in name. Circle School was renamed Florence McKenzie in honor of a one-time principal of that school, who had devoted virtually her entire life to the education of young people. Park School became Harllee School in recognition of the many services rendered by Miss Margaret Harllee, beloved teacher, in the city schools of Florence. At length the time came when, at least in our opinion, one teacher could teach us no more. No longer would we spend the day strug- gling manfully to master the intricacies of the multiplication table or absorbing the funda- mentals of English grammar. At least so we thought, for we were about to attain the goal for which we had been striving these many years, an entrance into Junior High School. Harry Gall, Historian Who is there among us who will ever forget his first day in that institution? For weeks we had been tormented by rumors of horrible tortures practiced by diabolically clever eighth graders upon those poor unsuspect- ing beings who were so unfortunate as to be entering upon the mysteries of the first year in Junior High. These hideous rumors, alas, proved only too true. Bruised and battered, we, of the seventh grade resolved, amid the groans and curses occasioned by aching limbs and wounded pride, to take sweet revenge upon next year's unfortunate victims. To add to our host of worries, we were forced to accustom ourselves to a new method of class room procedure which at first occasioned us much difficulty, but to the hardship of which we rapidly became inured. Causing still further confusion was a new and radically different report card, the complicated notations of which we were unable at first either to comprehend or to explain to our bewildered parents. 15 History of the Class of 1950 Despite the above enumerated trials and tribu- lations, our seventh year of scholastic endeavor passed without serious mishap, bringing with it a sense of comradeship and animated well- being which we had never known before. Upon entering the eighth grade in the fall of 1945, we fulfilled the solemn promise which we had made to ourselves the year before. The life of each and every member of the rising seventh grade became a never ending nightmare of pranks and bruises. This, however, was a comparatively unim- portant, though amusing, side issue. Other events of much greater impact were occurring. This was the year which marked the first important venture of the Class of 1950 into politics. In a hotly contested battle Herny Dickman defeated Karl Albert and Harry Parker in a memorable race for president of the student body, while Blanche Coleman defeated her opponent in a spirited race for the vice- p residency. Much time must pass before we can forget the hour long flood of oratory, interspersed by wild cheering of each candidate. Nor are we likely to let slip from our remembrance the flood of campaign posters which seemed sud- denly to emerge from nowhere and engulf the entire building with their various and sundry appeals for votes. With such activities as these continually in the limelight, it is not to be wondered at that this, the eighth year of our scholastic en- deavors, fled all too swiftly by. As the final days of our sixteenth semester in the city schools of Florence began to ap- proach, an air of fond hope and eager ex- pectancy seemed to pervade the atmosphere. A mighty epoch in our lives had at last been drawn irresistably to a final termination, to be replaced by a still more vivid and stunning chapter in the mystic book of life. The gates of McClenaghan High School, the epitome of all our hopes and dreams, were about to swing open to admit their thirtieth graduating class. Now ancient friendships and connections were to be ripped asunder and new ones erected upon the shattered foundations of the old. The last few fetters of tender childhood must pres- ently be cast aside, for four glorious years of happiness and contentment lay just over the golden horizon. Among our first transactions upon entering the consecrated walls of this beloved institution was the selection of class officers. Pinckney Sims was elected President, David Harwell, Vice- President, Blanche Coleman, Secretary, and Betty Jewel Turner, Treasurer. Under the able sponsorship of these class officers and the extremely capable sponsorship of Miss Louise Baxley, we were able to steer a safe course through the tempestuous sea of hardship and travail common to all Freshmen classes and Freshmen years. Forced to accustom ourselves to a new environment and feeling deeply our own lack of importance, it was only with the greatest of difficulty that we were en- abled to reconcile our previous concept of grave and dignified upperclassmen with the realities of the situation as we found it, which showed these personages at times to be neither grave nor dignified. One event of this year stands out like a shining beacon on a storm-tossed sea of dark- ness. This was the annual May Day observance. To add to the glamour of this gala occasion, the class of '50 chose from among its fairest three charming young ladies, Bobby Gene Allen, Blanche Coleman, and Barbara Corley to repre- sent it in the May Court. It was with mixed emotions that we saw the last semester of our first year in high school 16 History of the Class of 1950 become a mere memory, imprinted for all time upon the yellowed pages of the past. Within a few short months our Sophomore year had begun, bringing with it a new feeling of self-confidence, derived from an acute aware- ness of the mistakes of bygone days. Routine was the keynote of the two following semesters. We were neither lowly enough to be forced to undergo the trials and tribulations of a fresh- man, nor important enough to share in the grave discussions of weighty matters pertaining to the affairs of the upper classes. It was our Junior year which really saw us hit our stride. The beginning of the first se- mester saw Tommy Rogers installed as our very capable and efficient president. Assisting him in a vice-presidential capacity was Donald Shane, whose competent administration of his official position won the admiration of all who knew him. In the absence of these gentlemen, Steve Irick, always the life of any discussion, occasionally departed from his duties as class secretary to act as president. Treasurer Anita McGrath's capable handling of the large amounts of money which of necessity must ha e passed through her hands deserves our deepest thanks. We shall always remember with deepest gratitude the former Miss Marilyn Brabham, now Mrs. Joe Lyles, for her work both as class sponsor and in connection with the Junior Class Play, in the production of w'hich she played a vital part. The above mentioned performance entitled The Fires of Spring” featured Blanche Cole- man, Julia Camlin, Tommy Rogers, Harry Parker, Tom Watson, and George King in leading roles. Under the able and accomplished direction of Miss Brabham and Miss Edna Pettigrew, dramatics teacher, this, the class of 50 s first venture into the realm of acting, was accounted a huge success. The major part of the proceeds derived from the sale of tickets went to finance the Junior- Senior Prom, the great social event of the season. The same class meeting which saw us make- provision to finance the Junior-Senior also saw Miss Alice Brunson elected sponsor for the rising senior class. It is not out of place to take this opportunity of expressing on behalf of the members of the class of 1950 the deep thanks and eternal gratitude which we feel for the tremendous amount of labor and unselfish devo- tion which she has expended in our service during her sponsorship. Words cannot express nor the printed page convey a full realization of the place which she shall hold in the hearts and minds of all of us forever. Under her leadership and that of our ex- tremely able class officers, Pinckney Sims, presi- dent, Julia Camlin, vice-president, Betty Lou Beal, secretary, and Sidney Griffin, treasurer, the senior class has soared to new heights of spectacular achievement in every field of en- deavor. In the annual magazine campaign conducted traditionally by the graduating class to raise funds for its yearbook, the class of '50 can point with pride to its achievement of selling over four thousand dollars worth of magazines, a feat which for a time seemed impossible of attainment because of the almost insurmount- able obstacles placed in its way by uncertain times. Within a few days of the final termination of the campaign, the annual staff had been organized. After many weeks of blood, sweat, and tears, the 1950 edition of the Florentine. which you see before you, was sent to press. While the members of the Annual Staff were in the process of consuming some thirty mil- lion aspirin tablets, another matter of great importance, the selection of class rings, was being heatedly discussed.

IN WITNESS WHEREOI', we hereby set our hands, our feet, and our seals, on this memorable second day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and fifty, at McClenaghan High School, Florence, S. C. Signed: Tommy Rogers Senior Class Lawyer WITNESSES: Willie The Penguin Ozark Ike Casey Jones Cy-3 47 Prophecy Cboo Cboo! Here comes the Spirit of 1960 , The train of gossip and rumors. It carrier news about the Florence High Class of '50 Which ranges from birds to bloomers. Being conductor of this train. Vie heard all the tales Told about my fame-aspiring class. So listen uhile I repeat what rides these rails And you'll learn what’s come to pass. Woo! Woo! Wooops! There’s just boocoos” of news from New York about my class members. Bobbie Gene Allen is the head of an anti-race prejudice organization. The Society for Better Relations with Black Man. Pat Tucker is modeling . . . Chubby dresses which are designed by Nancy Lee Harrellson and Barbara Turner. (They sympathize with plumpish high school girls who can t find clothes to fit.) Cissy White, also a designer, has revived the bloomer era. She was aided by Leigh Austin and Bet:) Ann Miller. who modeled her product ; and by Arnold Gaillard. reporter, and Henry Dickman and Jack Murchison. photographers, who gave her a big scoop in the New York Times entitled Bloomers to Bloom Again. Harold Bird and Hazel Sessions have bought a pet shop in the big city. For the benefit of bird lovers, they hold weekly bird sessions. Jean Sharpe, who recently married a big dog in New York society, bought a French poodle from them to give her that look of distinction. George King is wallowing around in money which he makes on Wall Street. And he s absolutely honest, too. It s his assistants. Edward Mack. Haynes Schuyler. and Charles Sligh. who are in charge of the ground work. Sidney Griffin wallows in money, too, I hear, but it isn't really his. He works in a bank and some- times he rolls around in the vault just to get the feel of it. Harry Gall now plays Macbeth on Broadway. But the famous dramatic critic, Jimmy Liakos. got Harry’s gall by telling him he wasn't saying his lines correctly. Keel Over Laughing is the name of a production by Edna Keel and Gene Laugblin. As a part of the show, Martin Daniels is shot from a B B” gun. (He always wondered why he was called Buckshot — now he knows.) Blonde Virginias (Capps and Jordan) lead a chorus in which Kathleen Moseley, Janie Tim- mons. and Bonnie White participate. Camille Early and Nancy May do a number interpreting spring called Early May. Mary Louise Rodrique stages weekly piano concerts at Carnegie Hall. Sarah Tomlinson is there every night . . . sweeping the floor. Puff! Fuff! Ruff Studios, managed by Leo Ruff. feature Leo himself saying garuff , as a trademark. His two new finds arc Tommy Rogers and Edward Bray, who have appointed Donald O'Connor and Rex Harrison as their respective stand-ins. Mary Medlin and her assistants, Vldine Hall and Cecil Perkins, operate an agency which enables people to know about the running about of their husbands or wives. At present Mary is meddling around looking for Sue Bonnoitt’s husband whom Sue herself hasn't seen yet. Eleanor Du Rant and Carolyn Shiver are competing for the national championship in auto racing. May the better girl not get smashed to bits! Incidentally, they are driving the new cars, Quick Winds , pro- duced in Detroit by David Quick and James W'indham. 48 Prophecy Famous as an orator and notorious as a sheik is a description which fits none other than Pinckney Sims. His competent secretary, Vivian Snleeby, helps him keep his speaking engagements and girls straight. Donald Lanier is the president of a national reform school. But he started at the very bottom of the ladder and worked his way up, if you get the point. Wah! Wall! Washington, D. C, is the scene of the activities of several F. H. S. graduates. The White- House is still occupied by Harry, but this time it’s Harry Parker. Since Jack Taylors election to the Senate, Congress has gone hog-wild. Lobbyists, Odell Council. C. E. McGee, and Gerald McKenzie are mostly responsible for Jack's actions; but they are just trying to protect the interests of their hawgs. Gene Kennedy and Pat DuBose have positions with the Spanish Embassy as interpreters, since they were such outstanding students of that language in their high school days. David Haruell is a prosperous farmer, but his • strong-as-a-horse, used-as-a-horse, wife Bobby Brunson deserves most of the credit for his success. Billy Bateman is in charge of plowing David's 200 acres. They say you should hear him singing 'Mule Train to his four mules (well, almost), Ulyss Brunson. Billy Burgh. Billy Daukinx. and Steve hick. Ray McElteen has a large dairy farm. Acting as milkmaids arc Elsie Mae Harrell. Doris McGee, and Julia McKenzie. Ray gives Shirley Thomas a discount because she buys 500 quarts a day. It seems she runs a beauty school where, to become beautiful, you swim in milk, wash with it, and, of course, drink it. Louise Parler and Juanita Yarborough firmly believe Shirley's theory and arc her faithful patrons. One of the most talkcd-abqut events in the Florence area was the explosion of the high school. Eduard Meserve. who teaches chemistry, and his students had a little accident. Architect Frances Seymour re- designed the school and contractors Gene Collins, 1. Vivian Saleeby 2. Mike O'Brien 3.

Joe Stackhouse 49 P r o p h e c y William Long. and Charles U illis had it rebuilt. Non tllena Brandon, Margaret Maffett. Everal Rain- water. Tommy Anderson, and Andy Geddings are also back at F. H. S. However, in the cases of Tommy and And). I think it's a matter of being still not back there. Miss Bessie Levin has left the school, (rumor has it that she eloped) so Norvellena is in charge of cooking the meals, and Everal. teaching the senior girls sewing. When, and if, Everal lets somebody make a slight mistake, Margaret Maffett sort of smooths things over. Whistle! Whistle! Plenty of whistles were heard at the Miss America of I960 contest. The judge. George McCoun. Jr. announced a triple tie between the three finalists, Harriett Benton. Blanche Coleman. and Betty Lee Collins. Could his privilege of kissing the winner possibly have been the reason for his ed six times in the past year, following, I think, the pattern which they set when they were going steady in high school. Lynch’s on the Lynches is a girls sports center down on Lynches River. Frances Lynch runs it anJ is assisted by Gerry Freeman. Betty Ann Gregg and Gertrude Wilson. Frances is trying her best to make- great swimmers out of Betty Lou Beal and Bobbie Jean Fagerton. who have been serving as victims for beginners in life-saving courses. Betty McCall, a real- live cowgirl, manages to ride the center’s two horses at the same time. How She rides on the back of one and the other rides on her back. Donnie Harrell and Regg e Jones, soda jerks, are taking complete- courses in girls sports there, but the idea is that they want to get sporty with the girls . . . you know. decision i Rumors are certainly flying about Jo Anne Elmore and Joe Stackhouse. They’ve been married and divorc- Dav d Anderson. Johnny Broadway, and Charles Weeks have joined the army. (Salvation, s nee they couldn’t get in the Wacs.) 1. Everal Rainwater 2. Shirley Thomas 3.

That is what detectives Jimmy Dawkins and Torn Watson are perpetually trying to find out. In a recent investigation who turned out to be Sarah Grantham, and what she done was she took a SI0,000 life insurance policy from Girard Rojfe and Company, and then tried to commit suicide so she could collect it. At the trial, upon the advice of her shrewd lawyer, Rnford Hodges, she pled insanity and was acquitted. The Hit Parade of Florence High Graduates a radio program directed by George David. Dell Fraser. and Aubrey Goss, features top songs and their relation to certain members of the Class of 1950. 'I Can Dream. Can t I applies to Julia Camlin. who has realized her dream of being a radio star. Sentimental Journey” describes the trips Jalon Spencer and Margaret T)ndall take to their homes, Clio and Latta. Ray T image, a magician, has as his theme song. That Old Black Magic. He has started something new', permanent hypnosis. Over a year ago he told Nancy Kirby and Gloria Pearson they were hyenas, and the girls are still laughing. Tm Sittin’ on Top of the World is w hat social workers, Joyce Dawkins, Hazel Galloway, and Mary Lee Gandy sing, because their office is on the top floor of the Empire State building. Temptation refers to Barbara High, a night-club singer. Pat Barefoot and Barbara Oakley had a wonderful idea, (Laziness is the mother of ideas!) They put the funny papers on television so that people can eat breakfast and read the funnies at the same time. Bobby Shane was a natural for the part of Denny Dimwit. Fulton Rogers’ hair alone got him the role of Dagwood. Betty Jernigan plays Little Orphan Annie , and Bub Edwards, her ever faithful dog, Sandy. John Land ray and Arthur Strickland portray Mutt and Jeff. Dorothy Murphy has created a strip called Dottie’s Doodlings. Several of my old classmates are in the field of medicine The operation was successful, but the doctor (not the patient) died because said doctor, 1. Haynes Schuyler 2. Billy Bateman 3.

Mike O'Brien and Bobbie Jean Pack wanted to work among their own kind of people, so they have jobs at the insane asylum. Buzz! Buzz! Business is really thriving for Jack Saunders. Perr) Mellette, Van Turner, and Bobby Clarke, who went in on a triple enterprise. Jack sells used cars. Perry and Van arrange blind dates, and Bobby runs a parking’’ lot. The Johnsons. Betty, David. Gar men. Mattie. Maude, and Virginia, have pooled their savings and bought out Johnsons Baby Products. Their chief customer is Mrs. Lirr Price, formerly Marian Jean Clyburn: she and Larry were recently blessed with quintuplets. A tedder” bear with dingle” bells on it is a product put out by Jerome Tedder and Frances Dingle. F. A. Weaver handles the sale of it for them to see that they get all the profit, overhead, and cash in general. Barbara Dukes under the pen name of The Spider” has written a book, My Webb. If, when you phone the real estate agency run by Bobby Davison. Hallahan Poston and Donald Shane. someone answers, Hello, Shavison, Doston, and Pane Agency.” it s just because the switchboard operators, Anita McGrath and Thelma Smith got a little confused. Ohh! Ohhh! Oh looka there, ain’t he purty'” Yes, when Saleem Cottros and Untvood Sans bury come out of the men’s beauty shop, operated by Betty Jean Grimsley and Isobell. Williams, they really do look sharp. Being Fuller brush men , they’ve found that keeping trim pays off. Why, housewife, Airs. Emma Dell Poston bought a whole set of brushes from them the other day because they {Saleem and Lin wood) were so attractive. 1. Maude and Mattie Johnson 4. Barbara Corley 2. Norvellena Bragdon 5.

She obliged Harriet Baker and Donald Cutler by suggesting that they name their business Harriets Bakery and Donald's Cutlery. Now, wasn't that cute? Jimmy Allen and Marion Lee. star players on big league football teams, played against each other (supposedly) last year, but the final score was 0-0 because neither boy wanted to oppose a former class- mate. Norman Street is a garbage man and mighty proud of it. Billy Thomas and Elbert Richardson, manu- facturers of No-Burp baby food, paid him a large- sum to say that in his ten years of garbage experience he had found more No-Burp cans than all other brands combined. The Moore People Poll, conducted by Margaret Moon, and Stackhouse's Statistics, compiled by Millie Stackhouse, proved that the F. H. S. Class of 1950 has multiplied so that, with the new additions, it now numbers 769. (!) (?) Not to be forgotten is the great service rendered to education by Bobbie Corley and Alary Sue Kelly. They established the Foundation for Facility in the Fine Art of Flirting. Craig Blackman, dean, reports that the school has done wonders for students, Bettie Brothers, Thelma Phipps, Charlie Bigelow, and Marion Conyers. Now you’ve heard the story from beginning to end. All the way from engine to caboose. As conductor Vie told you of our class’s trend Since ’SO when it was turned loose. I've done my duty to my class and train By repeating all the gossip I know.

Great, therefore, was our delight when toward the middle of December a parcel arrived bear- ing the precious objects of our ecstasy. While these memorable occurrences gave us much pleasure, another event filled us with a sense of deep gratefulness. In early October an oil painting of the late Mr. John C. McClenaghan was presented by his family to the school which bears his name. This exquisite portrait serves as a fitting memorial to a man who devoted a goodly portion of his life to the securing of better educational opportunities for young people. While these stirring events were occurring in other quarters, political fever was fast reach- ing a boiling point. In an election notable chiefly for the unusually large numbers of candidates participating, Harry Parker defeated three op- ponents to become President of the Student Cooperative Association. A bitterly contested election for the vice-presidency saw Pinckney Sims go down in defeat before his opponent. Donald Shane. This electioneering was by no means confined to the male sex. Nominated by acclamation, Julia Camlin added the title of Miss-Hi-Miss to her ever-growing list of honor. The selection of Harriett Benton as Queen of the May was another fortunate choice. On May Day, Her Majesty, decked in all the habili- ments of regal splendor and ably assisted by Blanche Coleman, her attractive Maid of Honor, and by the four senior attendants, Betty Lee Collins, Barbara Corley, Julia Camlin, and Bobbie Jean Allen, was a sovereign of which the Senior Class can well be proud. The sands of time are rapidly running out for those of us who must soon take our leave of the walls which have sheltered us for a short space in our journey through life. Until the day of our death and on into eternity we shall cherish in the inmost recesses of heart and soul the many memories of happy hours spent within the shadow of our never-to-be-forgotten Alma Mater.

Despite the fact that there were as many changes in as many ways as a football team could be shuffled, the boys still lost. The team’s one victory to ten losses belied their ability, however. There was experience and the will to win, but the spark that it takes to produce a good team just couldn't be found. The players practiced hard and tried every con- ceivable way possible to field a winning team, but to no avail. The Yellow Jackets started their season off both well and bad. In the opener with Parker High of Greenville, the Jackets came roaring back after the first half and rushed the big Parker team off its feet. In the opening minutes the Jackets crashed their way down field to the Parker one yard line where a fumble ended the threat. Had that play clicked, the end may have been different. Parker won 8 to 0. The next week the Florence eleven returned home for their first game in the new Memorial Stadium.'' COACHES Morrison, McNeil, O'Hara, and Shetley Jimmy Dawkins Harry Parker Henry Diekman Jim Allen Mima (iff Football Pinckney Sims (ieonre McCown David Harwell Billy Bateman and won their only game of the year in a sluggish contest against Rockingham, N. C Weston Houck skirted right end for 12 yards into glory land ' for the lone Jacket touchdown. Hardy Hunter added the game winning point from placement. Columbia High came to town the following week, and laid a licking on the locals in a slow game. The rest of the season proved a replica of the Columbia game, with the Jackets looking alive in only two games the remainder of the season. The Jonah” of the team this year seemed to be faulty blocking, pass defense, and, of course, the inability to cross that precious double stripe into “glory land” more often. The mainstays of the line this year were Jimmy Allen. Florence s player on the all state team, Marion Lee, Carl Zimmerman, and Gene Kennedy. CHEERLEADERS Tommy Rogers, Chief: Bobbie Corley, Barbara Dukes, Donnie Harrell. Leslie Ivey, Betty Jernigan. Billy Temple, Gwen Tootle. Vance Brabham, Pinckney Sims, James Barnes, Weston Houck, and Donald Shane carried the load for the backfield. Every player on the team worked hard and deserves a word of praise. Coaches Tobin and McNeil A Good Shot Basketball Since Coach Joe McNeil has taken over the helm of the Florence Basketball Team, basketball has been on a steady rise in this school. The five straight victories Yellow Jackets have so far this year are more wins than the team had during the entire year before Coach McNeil took over three years ago. Coach McNeil has introduced a wide open, fast, break type of ball, and it has been a great success here. The Jackets have already won the county tournament this year, and three of their players were honored by being selected for the all-county team, Donald Shane and David Johnson, first team, and James Fraser, honorable mention. To win the tournament the Yellow Jackets had to eliminate Timmonsville, Elim, and Hannah, in that order. In the final game with the Hannah Hawks, Coach McNeil reversed his race-horse brand of ball, and slowed the Hawks’ game down to the Jackets' pace. The result, a Florence victory. In the first regular scheduled game the Jackets rolled over the Marion Foxes, handing them a licking 44 to 30. The reserves played a good part of the game. The next game was postponed. The Jacquettes and Jackets ventured to Sherwcx d for the next game, and the teams split the double header. It was the Jacquettes’ third loss. The boys had to come from behind to edge the Sherwood boys Fraser sank a charity toss with thirty seconds left to give the Jackets the game, and Johnson sank a held goal to clinch it. The score. 30 to 27. This year's team is paced by Don Lanier, Fraser, Johnson, and Donald Shane. The Jacquettes, who had one of the best girl basketball teams in the state last year, are having a hard time finding the range this year. In their three starts they have yet to dent the win column. Francis Lynch and Norvie Bragdon have been pulling the load for the forwards so far this year, while Gertie Wilson has been the mainstay in the back court. We can’t make any dire predictions for the two teams, but by the time you read this, the basketball season will be past history and we will all know the story. 90 GIRLS BASKETBALL r' BOYS’ BASKETBALL Girls’ Basketball Millie Stackhouse, Gertrude Wilson, Nancy May, Norvie Bragdon, Frances Lynch, Betty Ann Gregg, Sue Bonnoitt.

Of the 21 games played, 14 were victories. The Jackets were paced by speedy Lynwood Floyd, Captain; Charlie Waters, and Jimmy Allen. Floyd played for the South Carolina All Stars against the North Carolina All Stars. The highlight of the season was when Bobby Hyman and Bobby Barham poled homers, Don. Cookie , Jordan rapped out a triple, and Earl Jordan slapped out a homer, in that order, against Aynor. 92 TRACK SOFTBALL TEAM T rack With Coach Joe McNeil, track came to McClenaghan High School. In two years here he has turned out six state champs and a host of runner-ups, not counting this year. Track is catching on fire in this state, and Florence is becoming one of the big flames in the blaze. With one returning state champ this year (Jackie Meadows, high hurdles), and several lettermen, Florence should be a strong contender for the state title. The team has finished second and third respectively in the last two years. Softball Team First Row: Gertrude Wilson, Tressie Williams, Jackie Pettigrew.
