SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of l9h7, the best looking and most talented class ever in Spartanburg School began their Freshman year. 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.
