Denzil Williams Dedication lt was difficult for us to say good bye to you, Denzil. We miss you very much especially when we remember that friendly grin you had for all of us and the easy, quiet way you talked. These are just a few of the things we are thinking about when we dedicate our annual to you, our classmate and friend. The Senior Class of 1951 3 FACTS ABOUT THE TITLE A title for the 1951 Annual was finally chosen after a lengthy search. Its origin springs from Greensfork Township. Having an elevation of 1285 feet, this locality three miles east of Lynn, is the highest point in the State. We seniors are inclined lquite naturally we thinkj to dwell at this particular time on far-traveled fancies. However, it is highly significant that'we should be inclined to look to a thing of local interest from which to draw inspiration for our first high school annual. We feel it might also by note- worthy to add that not only our class but all future gradu- ating classes might well set their sights in accordance with such heights as nature has so endowed this community. Thus we present to you the 1951 Spartanburg Annual, The Q-Point. 4 FACULTY and ADMINISTRATION ' wwnnw45wmAm.mwwmQrm4m1fQnmm1 - Seated left to right: Vernie Moore, Greensfork Township Trustee: Herschel Gray, Wm.

As we arrived at the railroad station, we mlet Robert Carlin McBride, who is running for president on the Democratic ticket. le visited with him and his wife, the former Sue Stuckey, and with Bob's com- paign manager, Carl Runner, also a former classmate. Carl told ns he owns a large farm in Greensfork Township,and we discovered that he ia .awid11- ionaire. After a short visit with these old friends we boarded the train. Since Alaska had now been admitted to the Union, Leon and I agreed that it would be our first stop. Following our major add ess there, we met Bob Stuckey who had c me to Alaska on a trapping expedition. He in- vited us to his h me for dinner. Ie accepted gladly and found his house, which was really a mansion, located near his gold mine. lhen he took us in, we met his wife, formerly Barbara K Oertie D Barton, and their eight offspring. After a delicious meal and a pleasant evening we bade th m good-bye, as it was time we were 'shoveling off.' We decided we had better spend the night in Alaska, so we stayed at the Lover's Hotel. we were delighted to find that the proprietors were Thomas Knoll and his wife CJoann Ketring to usj, both schoolmates of the class of 'Sl. The twelve youngsters were the bellhops and waitresses. The next morning we set sail for California. On board ship we were surprised to see Mar Del Robbins, who was captain of the steamer. He informed us that his wife,nee Bette Thompson, and their five young Robbins were happily nesting in Miami, Florida. When we reached California, we hurried to Sacramento to enlist the backing of the governor. We found that His Honor was an old chum, Howard Short. Dr. Short graciously promised us his wholehearted support. Our next stop was at Shoemaker where we saw a Wave whom we recognized as Joann Harshman--Lt. Joann Harshman, if you please. She told us that Shoemaker was the Wave deportation center. Leaving Joann dispensing orders right and left,we made our wayto Salt Lake City. lhile our next-president, Leon Wise,was delivering an address there, we had a little difficulty with egg and tomato throwing., However, he managed to finish the speech, and ou: secret service men later discovered that the attacker with the veg- etable and egg barrage was none other than James Alexander. Jim had joined a Mormon Camp after graduating in 'Sl and was living scrappily with his five wives fincluding Etta Bartonj. Turning our backs on Salt Lake City, we chartered a Rocket 90. The pilot was Carl Morehous, the brawn of our class, and his co-pilot was his wife, Thelma Baldwin. Thelma had just returned from Hollywood where she had starred as Olive Oil in the Popeye Comics. Riding along in the desert, we were attacked by. a fierce tribe of Flying Saucers, but, as in the movies, we were rescued by General Helen 18 Baker. Helen was engaged in making a movie with her favorite star, Copalong Hassidy. We soon noticed that our gasoline supply was getting low, so we began to look for a station. Presently, we spotted a sign which read WCloyd's Service Station.' we pulled in and a blonde beauty rushed out to greet us. You've guessed it! Jean Sn der Cloydl She, her husband Jim, and their twin boys were operating a thriving business. Leaving the desert behind us, we skimmed along in our Rocket 90, and by late afternoon we were in Arkansas. As we were flying low over a fertile field, we saw what appeared to be a bag of cotton. It was Mary Lou Purdy, hoe in hand. She shook her implement of toil at us and shouted, WOh Call Come mah these varmints quite disturbing my razorbacksln Her husband and fifteen kids came shuffling out to shake their fists at us. We caught a plane at Little lock and headed for New York. On our way we stopped at Spartanburg. When we had wandered about the met- ropolis for a few hours, we chanoed upon Ernie Mason, now a well- dressed, distinguished business man. Ernie is the owner of a depart- ment store, five grocery stores, three gas'stations and four dime stores. He told us proudly that Spartanburg had won the State basket- ball finals that year under the guidance of Coach Ernie Grubb, who had co e back from the war with a Russian bride. He also confided to us that M . Tudor still chews gum in school. Reluctantly we left our old home town and continued our journey to New York. Arriving there, we made an appointment with Governor Dewey to meet him for a conference at the Stork Club. After dinner, when the floor show began,we realized that the two outsta ding attractidul were our former classmates, Marilyn Tillson and Norma Brackin. Back- stage after the show we learned the Marilyn had eloped with Jbhnp Hyre, who is now in France as a good-will ambassador. Norma was m- ployed at theclub as an entertainer while she waited for her husband, General Earl Crist, to complete his military assignment and come back home. Our finial stop was in Philadelphia where we were to confer with the National Election Chairman, I . Robert Kress, our senior sponsor. M . Kress said that he was still living with his wifexand family in Muncie, Indiana. With all these pleasant m mories of visits with our old friends we returned to Washington confident that Leon lise would be our next President.

The members of this brilliant class were: Marion Huffman, Leon Wise, Jerry Snell, MarDel Robbins, Jimmy Alexander, Denzil Williams, Bob Stuckey, Ernie Mason, Carl Runner, Howard Short, Bob McBride, Carl Morehous, Inez Dillman, Joann Ketring, Joann Harshman, Nora Mae Anderson, Jean Snyder, Helen Baker, Mary Lou Purdy, Marilyn Tillson, Norma Brackin,Thelma Baldwin, and Danny Moore. Our sponsor for this year was Miss Addington. we were initiated into high school by the Sophomores. One day at school they made the boys wear their mother's dresses, wrong side out and backwards, and carry a doll. The girls had to wear their father's overalls, wrong side out and backwards, and carry a quart can for a pocket book. we all had to carry our books in a dishpan and as if all this wasn't enough, they smeared lipstick all over our faces. What a mess! At the party that night we were bumped and bruised around until we were black and blue but we recovered and remember it as a lot of fun. A week later we gave the Sophomores a much calmer party in return. The next fall, two members of our class, Inez Dillman and Marion Hoffman, had moved away and during the year Danny Moore left school, however two new members were gained, Tom Knoll and Ronald Price. Our sponsor was Miss Austin. In the fall we initiated the Freshman and we felt we made up for what had been done to us the year before. They gave us a swell return party down at the fountain. we also chose ourclass colors in the fall and bought our sweaters. They are maroon with white letters. 'A 'R ' At the start of our Junior year another member, Ronald Price, had left school. Mr. Kress become our last and most faithful sponsor. we sold magazine subscriptions in September. Marilyn Tillson won a radiosfor selling the most subscriptions and some other members of the class won certificates of good salesmanship. we sponsored a skating party in October at the Winchester Rink. we didn't make very much money but had a lot of fun. Our clall rings cams at the start of the basketball season. we sold concessions during part of the baseball season and during all of the basketball season. Our Junior play was overtaken by the mumps and postponed until the next year. we all served at the Alumni Banquet in the spring. People seemed to think we were a little ackward but this was our- first experience in waiting tables so we hope they excused our mistakes. The boys also Z3 ushered at Baccalaureate and the girls at Commencement. Ie closed our Junior year with a class party and a baseball game at Richmond. In our Senior year Nora las Anderson moved to Lynn. Ie began to rehearse again for our play, 'Apple Blossom Time , as soon as school started. This time no childhood disease crept up on us and we presented it on October 13, 1950. Our thanks for its success will always go to our director and mglish teacher, llrs. Shierling. A week after the play we were made very sad by the death of one of our class members, Denzil Williams. He had gone to the hospital the second week of school with acute leukemia. We had started'a fund to help with the expenses of his recovery and some of the boys had given blood for him. The class attended the funeral together. Late in the fall we ordered our Commencement invitations, and had our Senior pictures taken. Quite a few of the kids were disappointed in their pictures and had retakes but lr. Tudor said that a camera only takes what it sees. Ie decided to wear caps and gowns at our Commencement this year. Ie are the first class to do this for a long time. Our Senior trip will take us through Kentucky and Tennessee. Ie plan to see Rock City, the Smoky llountains, the Du Pont Factory, and many other interesting sights . Ie really have enjoyed the days we have spent at Spartanburg School and almost hate to say goodbye. lf!-'ll' Jim G.--'Do you believe in fate? as she snuggled closer to him.

Class News We started our year by selling magazine subscriptions. The prize of a flash bulb camera went to Edwin Thornburg, who sold S 134.50 worth of subscriptions for the highest in the class. All who sold over thirty dollars worth received certificates of merit for salesmanship from the Curtiss Publishing Company. Also, we had a paper drive, and though we didn't make a fortune, everyone presumably had a good time. The story connected with this is rather ridiculous. We left our paper stacked in some of the class members' garages for three weeks. Everyone laughed at the Junior Class and thought it rather juvenile. When we finally sold the paper, however, it had gone up three dollars a ton. Our next project was selling at concessions at home basketball games. With the end of the season, though, our interest will be focused on the class play. We have narrowed our prospective plays to three, with His Ozark Cousin as the likely choice. The class officers are: President, Edwin Thornburg: Vice-President, Eugene Black: Secretary, Loren Lillyg and Treasurer, Robert Purdy.

Basketball Team The Spartanburg basketball squad completed a successful 1950-51 season by winning twelve contests and dropping six engagements in regular competition. The Tomcats lost a hard fought two point decision to Union City in the sectional tournament. Coach Grubb is to be complimented on the fine record his team amassed. A graduate of Franklin College, Mr. Grubb is experiencing his first year as teacher and athletic director. Our sincere thanks go to our peppy cheerleaders, Barb, Etta, and Linda, for their undying enthusiasm in leading yells throughout the basketball season!

The climax of track competition was reached in the county meet of 1950, when the Spartanburg thinly-clads emerged with a thrill- ing victory. The 46 points amassed by the purple and gold were l 1fZ greater than second place Ridgeville claimed. The victory was even more impressive because of the absence of MarDel Robbins, Ernie Mason, and David Mann from active participation. The record book discloses that during the season from 1948 to 1950 inclusive, the Welgemen have compiled a record of twelve victories against five defeats. In 1949, the squad from Greensfork Township placed second in the Randolph County meet. Blessed with an ample number of returning lettermen, Coach Welge is antici- pating another successful season. Hats off to Mr. Welge and the thinly-clads from Spartanburg. Baseball Nine The Spartanburg baseball team, behind the tricky southpaw slants of Leon Wise and the strong right arm of Jim Green, enjoyed a successful season under the guidance of Coach Ernie Grubb.
