SCRIBBLER FOREWORD •8? In compiling this record of our High School days, we have striven to gather with camera and pen those memories we hold dear. The dreams we have dreamed, the ideals for which we have striven, and the goals we have reached all of these have entered into our endeavor to contribute to the life here, of which we have been a part. We submit these momentoes for your approval, “Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit.” (And perhaps at some future day there will be pleasure in recalling these things.) lEtnSlBS i---t— —. SCRIBBLER To MISS LILY T. ROBERTSON Friend, and Counselor of our high school days, whose character has been an inspiration and whose interest has been an encouragement to us, We, the Senior Class of 1928 gratefully and lovingly dedicate this issue of The Scribbler £ SCRIBBLER faculty Administrative Officers FRANK EVANS, Superintendent of City Schools L.

These lines express Ruby exactly. She is faithful in all she undertakes. Ruby says very little, but when she does speak, great words flow from her lips. W e are all proud to call her our classmate, because she is a girl we enjoy. 11 she doesn’t write a French book, we'll be disappointed. CHARLES WILLARD President “A mind to conceive, a heart to resolve, and a hand to execute.” Behold our Senior Class President! During his sojourn at High School. Charlie has made a most commendable record in the class-room and on the athletic field. His attractive personality and ever-present sense of humor and perfect balance have made him popular with the faculty and students. His place will be hard to fill. CASWELL O HOBBS To thine ownself l c true; .Ind it must follow. .■Is the night the day. Thou can’sI not then be false to any man. Cas is the most looked-up-to fellow in our class. He carries his dignity six feet four (when better looking bodies are built, Fisher will huild them). He has no rival with the fair sex. He has shown his ability as a statesman in his speech on matching, in which he stressed the point, “Don’t do as I do, but do as I tell you.” JOHN STAPLES Secretary Here’s a heart for any fate. I his, ladies and gents, is none other than the famous Duck Soup,” he of the ruddy locks. John is especially well known in basketball circles, having been guard on our State championship team and one of the boys who made the trip to Chicago. As long as there are people in the world, Duck Soup will be popular. Of the Past—Mindful. Of the Present—Heedful. Of the Future—Hopeful. Jelly s diminutive stature does not keep him from being an ace at directing the maneuvers of the football team. Also he has a tendency to fall for the other sex. Whenever you need a good boss, call on Jel—“you can’t beat a ‘marine’!” G. L. STALLINGS Treasurer H SCRIBBLER JOSEPHINE ALLEN “Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. ' “Say. ‘Brilliantine,’ have you got your Physics?” You bet she lias! We all enjoy her “manners” in French class, and as for word battling in English class with Mary Agnes—well, we don't understand, that is all. May you be as successful in your other endeavors as you have been in these, Josephine. LOIS ALLEN “Everything comes to those who wait, so why hurry? The door opens, a voice calls, “Have you got your French?” It’s Lois. To see her laughing and joking, one would never dream that she took life seriously, hut she does—every now and then. But in any case, we are glad to have her a member of 4-E. HAYES ALMAN “Live and let live?' “Sheik” is the most prominent nick-name applied to this gentleman. We have heard the rumor of a “Chevie” being parked in Greenville, in front of a certain house. Perhaps that explains the title. Be this as it may, Hayes must study, for he always makes good marks. His pleasing personality has gained for him a great number of friends who wish him the best in life. CLARA ANDERSON A cheerful disposition is a fund of ready capital Clara does not have many rivals in the realm of sarcasm. On the basketball court, too, Clara is pretty sure to shine. Her size is no handicap, for she can surely get around. We all envy her her ability to get her lessons in one study hall. LOUISE ANDERSON “To have a friend—is to be one. Louise is such a comfort. We never could have done without her. She always has an encouraging word for us in our moments of doubt. Louise likes to go to the movies, and although she nearly always knows her lessons, she never lets them interfere with her good times. r LOUISE ANTHONY “Light-hearted, happy, wild and young. She laughed, and talked, and daneed, and sung.” Louise is right there when it comes to boys and dances. It certainly is true that “gentlemen prefer blondes.” because they all prefer Louise. Style, good looks, charm, personality—all of these go to make up the “it” that distinguishes Louise from other girls and makes everybody like her. EARL BAGWELL ltAU great men are dead, and don’t feel very well myself Earl loves to argue, but he always sees both sides of the question, and this enables him to get good marks in all his school work. Bagwell has saved himself from many a zero by his great oratory. Outside of school, Earl is interested in all kinds of sports. NORMAN BALLARD What I must do is all that eoneerns me. not what people think.” Norman follows his own dictations—independently. His chief characteristics are determination and ability, which are exceeded only by his good looks. The “ups and downs” encountered in French are made up in Math, which is smooth sailing for Norman. He is not always studious, but he has a quick mind, and when he does study there are few questions that he can’t answer. In short, Norman is just an all-round good fellow. WALTON BATES “Shake hands with him; he likes it.” Here is one whose combination of a sunny disposition and a rare measure of wit and humor makes him irresistible. Even those dreaded demons known as teachers have been known to smile at his jokes. His motto is. “Smile and the world grins with you. weep and vou bawl alone.” MONNIE BECKNELL Do not love your enemies: have no enemies to lover Mounie is one of the most dependable girls in our class. She is always wise and is always willing to help. Even though naturally quiet, she always has more to say than “I don’t know” to any of her teachers. We do not have a single fear about her future, for we know that Monnie’s sincerity and reliance will get her any place at any time whatever. i SCRIBBLER. SCRIBBLER OLIVER BENNETT Hot failure, but low aim, is crime. Oliver is the sort of fellow who takes part in all school activities and helps to advance them. He has had a lot of tough luck this year and missed a good many classes, but by much work and a fine spirit he has kept up, and in addition has made one of the best football managers we have ever had. He is mighty good on the tennis courts, too! GORDON BLACKWELL He will succeed on merit, all his own. All right, folks, here is the original encyclopaedia. He has never said, I don’t know,” in reply to a question at school, except once, when asked who was the best-looking girl in the Senior Class. Gordon is an all-round fellow in spite of his genius and was manager of the basketball team this year. ’Nuff said. ELMO BOWEN As a man thinketh, so is lie. All animosity felt for any one residing within the precincts of our rival, Greenville, was instantly forgotten when Elmo strode into the corridors of our school. His quiet smile and attitude in the classroom have gained for him many friends among the students and faculty. We are glad you came, old boy. PHOEBE BOWEN “Happy am I, from care I’m free; Why aren’t they all content like me?” Here’s happy-go-lucky Phoebe, the best old sport you ever knew! No matter what happens, Phoebe can always find something to laugh about. She’s happy and gay and chuck full of nonsense, and although she makes it a rule to attend all the school dances, she always steps up with the honor-roll list at the end of the month. ROBERT BOWEN He that knoweth more, I envy; He that knoweth less. pity. His laughing brown eyes are quite captivating. Robert lias never been known to hurry, and often when others are dashing wildly to class, he can be seen stalking through the halls in the most nonchalant manner. He likes Physics especially, but he stands well with all his teachers. i SCRIBBLER MARGARET BRICE “There buds the promise of celestial worth. Looking for a type ? Well, here’s one for you. Not a long-faced “good girl, not a profound student, not a flapper, but an embodiment of spicy characteristics with substantial ideas that we have to admire. Frank, but not too frank, and always careful not to hurt anybody's feelings, she's just the person you’d love to know. MAX BRIDGES Knowledge is penoer; wisdom is bliss. .-Ill frivolous pastime. I dismiss. Quiet, retiring, and of a thoughtful countenance, yet foreseeing withal a sly humor, which peeps forth now and then. He is primarily a scholar, a boy who can be relied upon at any time. The multitude of 100‘s on his card is reported to have astonished even the great geniuses of 4-B. RAMONA BROCK “Much study is a wearisome to the flesh. When Ramona’s friendship is once gained, you can be sure it will stick through thick and thin. We are all familiar with her ability to grasp hidden meanings of Wordsworth and Emerson. It is believed that Ramona’s strong alto voice played a great part in winning the Glee Club Contest this year. Her attractive personality will long linger in the hearts of her classmates. RUBY BROOM She is worth her weight in gold. Ruby is one of those quiet, demure girls whom everybody likes. She makes good marks on all her studies, and is especially bright in Latin classes. It is rumored, too, that Ruby has beaux. CUYNELL BURNETT Precious parcels come in small packages.” Do we love her? I’ll say we do. She is one of those girls who has no particular hobby. If she is not at a picture show, she is planning a week-end trip. She builds lovely air castles which inevitably go up in smoke when her sister says, “Guynell, study those lessons. The Senior Class would not have been complete without her. — SCRIBBLER IRENE BURNS “Laughing zvhen glad; affectionate, though shy.’’ Everybody knows “Shorty. We cannot conceive of anyone being blue in her company, for who has ever seen her perfectly quiet? And who has ever seen her bother about being on time? “The clock is too fast, she says. Shorty” has a queer way of combining studies, pleasures, and—Wofford! MARDIE CAMPBELL “It doesn’t pay to worry; I liings are bound to happen, anyway. Oh! what would we have done without Mardie! Although she hasn’t much use for quadratic equations and civil wars, she gained her fame among us by her charming ways. I am sure when we shake our Seniors of 1928 in a bag and then pour them out. Mardie will come bouncing out on top. She always does. BETTY CANNON “Determination makes dreams come true.’’ Look! Here comes the walking dictionary with a stack of hooks reaching to the ceiling, and talking as usual. How often we hear “I’m going to make a had mark this month. and how often wc see 98’s and 99’s on her report, for Betty is our star pupil. She is an authority on every subject, from History to—antiques. If you ever see a little blonde rambling through a dusty old shop, you’ll know Betty is on her daily antique quest. MARION CANTRELL “Never frivolous, never slow, just the girl you’d like to know.” Marion is just the dependable girl we couldn’t do without. She is always ready to lend a helping hand in time of need. The care of translating Latin will never dull her gay spirit. Her honesty and unselfishness has placed her high in the hearts of her fellow students. We all wish her much success in the future. KATHLEEN CARTER “A ready smile, a welcome glad, One of the best our class has shad.” “Cat” is the Senior Class giggler. When the teachers get down-hearted, they call on Kathleen, who always answers slowly but surely. Sometimes, when she has had a date the night before, the answers just won’t come—even slowly. She looks at the teachers with her big brown eyes, and down goes a hundred! She’s a darling! H E SCRIBBLER. ABIGAIL CECIL “Never frivolous, never slozc— Just the yirl you’d like to knozv.” Is she a good chum ? Docs everybody love her ? I'll say they do! Especially the other sex. You just can’t help loving Abigail—especially after hearing her friendly giggle. The class of '28 will always think of auburn curls and sparkling blue eyes—and then we can't forget her. EUTHA CHAFFIN A voice soft, gentle, olid low—tin excellent tiling in woman.’’ Quietness, sincerity, and steadiness are some of Eutha’s admirable qualities. She is always true to her friends, of whom she has many. Her enemies? We have never heard of them. She is studious and popular with both teachers and pupils. SAMANTHA CHAPMAN “My tongue within my lips I reign. For who speaks much will speak in vain.’’ Nan” never hangs on her locker door or shouts in the corridor, for she is very quiet. Nevertheless. Still waters run deep.” She is so modest she tries to hide her talents, but somehow they shine right through. Her earnestness and perseverance are sure to make her life as successful as her school days have been. T. R. CHILDRESS But am never stupid, seldom blue; My riches are an honest heart and true. Behold a future combination of Byron. Shakespeare. and Addison—what have we? I'll bite, what? He is attentive in class, has filled several pages of the Scribbi.er. and is liked and respected by all the students and faculty. His sunny disposition and sterling character make him a gentleman under all conditions. Neither is he looked upon in scorn by the fairer sex! EVELETH CLARY “Loyal hearted, strong of mind, a truer friend no-t’here you'll find. Happy-go-lucky! That's Eveleth! Who knows vhy Eveleth likes to go to Greer to basketball games? Ye just wonder! Eveleth is so good-natured, you lever know it’s raining outside when she is in class. H e; SCRIBBLER. EDWARD CUNKSCALES “The spice of life.” A wide grin, plus heart-smashing dimples, plus black oxfords, plus complete laziness, plus heaps of wit. equals Ed.” Although he shines in Math, he burdens himself neither with too much studying, nor with his string of fair lassies, but adheres to golfing and the wearing of stylish ties. We expect Ed to be featured with Mary Pickford at the “Rex in a few years. ARTHUR COGGINS “Since brevity is the soul of toil. will be short.” Archie, as he is better known, is little—but he is not loud, except in the classroom when the teacher has asked a question. Then he speaks tip and gets a hundred. Several years ago he equipped his tricycle with four-wheel brakes. Who knows not that Archie will contribute some great invention to the world one of these days ? FLORENCE COHEN “A bit heart, nheays wishing to do right and be friends with everybody.” Who is that stylish young lady calmly strolling down the hall ? Tis no other than Florence Cohen! As she comes closer we recognize intelligence combined with charm. And mixed with these qualities is a happy-go-lucky nature and an attractive personality! Here is an unusual combination, we think! MARSHALL CRAWLEY As high in character as in height.’' Marshall and his beloved motorcycle! He can be seen upon it any hour before school or in the afternoons. In school he makes good marks, and we are confident that when he starts out in the business world he will make his mark. MAX CREECH “Friendly old Mac. with his turn for mechanics. Sets old motors hamming, and girls' hearts into panics. 'I'hc only time Max makes any noise is when leaving school at the rate of 60 miles per hour on his motorcycle. Max's greatest weakness is not wine, women and song, but remembering to write up his Physics experiments. Laying all jokes aside, he is a friend to all and ever willing to lend a helping hand. MARY AGNES CREWS “ don't like to be a kieker, 'Cause it doesn't stand for peace; Bill the wheel that does the squeaking Is the wheel that gels the grease. Just sav something about Carlisle Hall, and watch Mary Agnes bubble over with enthusiasm. Her chief difficulty is to remember to speak French in Miss King’s class instead of English. If you ever see a bunch of girls giggling in the hall, look around for Mary Agnes, for she is sure to have started the crowd. Thanks, Greenville, for your contribution. ELIZABETH CROCKER “Cove. Sweetness. Goodness in her person shine. Although rather quiet and serious. Elizabeth is one of those steady, studious girls who has helped our class gain its good name. Those who hear her sweet voice can never forget it. and her personality always leaves a charming impression. Judging from her past, we feel sure her future will lead along the pleasantest of ways.” ESTELLE CROUCH “Rare com pound of quality, noble and true. With plenty of sense, and good humor, too. Hurry. Estelle! We breathe a sigh of relief when she rushes in—on time. Estelle is one of the cutest girls in our class. By her winning personality and her attractive smile, she has endeared herself to all of us. What does she like to do? When can she have “dates”? Where does she love to go? Ask Dick: he knows. ELLOREE CROWE “She is possessed of that inexhaustible good nature, which is the choicest gift of heaven. Elloree is endowed with the rare gift of always being jolly. She never fails to answer a question, no matter what it is. Her staccato pronunciation of French delights Mr. Frost, and on Latin composition tests she is sure to come out ahead of everybody else. When Prof.” Rlakc puts up the honor roll, you always see Elloree's name topping the list. INEZ CROWE Consistency f I've never changed my mind; which is and always was to live at ease.” Who else could sit upright under the teacher's nose and read the latest novel by Temple Bailey but Inez? And argue? “Even though vanquished, she can argue still.” And who mentioned basketball? Inez has played every position on the team—and played it creditably. PERRIN CUDD Wheresoe'er llwu more, good luck shall fling her shoe after. Perrin helps us uphold the honor of 4-A. When she misses the honor roll, “Apples will grow on lilac trees. What would dear old 4-A do without Perrin’s little “Chevie to „cart the invalids home? Although Perrin spends most of her afternoons at the picture show, and all of her vacants talking to Ada. she always manages to come out on top. This is a problem we have never been able to solve. YOLANDE DAVIS Flirtation is attention, u’ithout intention. Yolande is frank, independent, and a good sport in all her dealings. She is partial to two things— dancing and Wofford! She says she is going to be a school teacher, but “you never can tell.” GWENDOLYN DILL Her hair was not more sunny than her smile. The things annuals usually say are true of Gwendolyn. She is a good friend and a fine all-round girl. She is a wizard at algebra; ask Miss Allen. Gwendolyn is also one of those fortunate persons who can combine hard work with good times. She is a fine combination of sympathy, sincerity and ability. Here's luck to you. Gwendolyn. LUCINDA DILLARD Heller to he small and shine Than to he hig and cast a shadow. Who’s that neat little girl hurrying down the corridor? That’s Lucinda. Miss Allen’s 4-F assistant. What would the former do without the latter! We expect Lucinda will some day be employed by none less than the Secretary of the Treasury to check the adding machines to see that they don’t lie! Best success, Lucinda! And please remember your humble classmates! ELOISE DuPRE One thing is forever good. That one thing is success. A stranger might ask who is that tall, titian-haired girl who is walking down the hall like she is going to a fire. Anybody could tell you that is Eloise. She is hurrying to the next class in her pursuit of success, and you may be sure she gets there. She is very quiet, but once she has gotten wound up an unceasing flow of knowledge pours from her lips. ft ——H i SCRIBBLER GLEN EASTERLY The gleatest pleasure in life is lave. Business ability, staunchness, and pluck characterize Glen. Watch him surrounded by a group of girls in the morning demanding help on an algebra problem. His good nature carries him over all hard places. You are bound to succeed, Glen. EVELYN EDGE “A violet by a mossy stone. Half hidden from the eye. Fair as a star when only one Is shining in the sky. Evelyn is another one of those preferred blondes. She has a charm which appeals to everyone. She is a firm believer in the fact that every cloud has a silver lining, and nothing ever troubles her very long. Her sweet nature has won a place of her own in our hearts. GIST F iRR Love conquereth all things, even men. Gist, the personification of Clarence .Harrow, never I ails to argue with the teacher, especially in French and English classes. Sometimes, though,-.he must be right, for he has often succeeded in reaching the honor roll. Gist means to continue his quest for the higher and better things in life, if the winsomeness of a fair damsel doesn't sidetrack him. WILSON FARR “A smile for alt, a greeting glad. An amiable, jolly way he had.” When you enter Room 306, Wilson is usually found in the middle of the room talking with great speed. Out of school, Wilson is seen most frequently riding up and down Main Street in his Chrysler, looking for one of the fairer sex. VIRGINIA FREY Joyous, and dear, and fresh, thy music doth surpass. As a poet. Virginia is quite good. Her ability to sing and play were well illustrated in Physics class. We predict for her a famous career in the musical world and expect to see songs and poems composed by this famous young lady. ft RV H SCRIBBLER. JAMES GABRIEL “A .square den! for every wan.” A devilish chuckle is heard in the hall! Jimmie must be poking fun at the opposite sex. He is almost as good a student as he is a companion. He is quite a football player, and you can always find him in the gallery at the movies. He is “E Pluribus Unum,” therefore we predict a successful future for him. Nuff sed.” THELMA GARNER “She turned, and she blushed, and she smiled. And she looked sae bashfully doivn.” Although Thelma has been with us only one year, she has endeared herself to all of our hearts. Glenn Springs’ loss was our High School’s gain, and we congratulate ourselves upon having Thelma with us our final year of high school life. HARRY GIBSON Roll on. old zoorld. and I'll roll until you.’’ If you hear a roar and then see a cloud of dust disappearing in the distance, you may be sure it is “Hoot driving that “Victory Six” of his. In school and out, he always wears a smile, and we shall remember him for his genial disposition. MARY KATHERINE GOODMAN It’s better to be small and shine, than bit and east a shadow.” Mary Katherine is one of the cutest girls in our class. Small of stature, full of pep, and quick! You ought to see her on the basketball court. She looks like a diminutive whirlwind. “Kitty” has the most adorable dimples. When you see her laugh and her big brown eyes light up. you won’t wonder that we all love her. FRED GOODWIN “Quiet and study, flavored with a smile. Were his ideals all the while.” Fred is one of the hardest working and smartest boys in the Senior Class. He is liked both by his teachers and fellow students. A successful and happy life is predicted by the host of friends he has gained since coming to S. H. S. - — — — SCRIBBLER HARVEY GREEN mailers not how long We live, hnl liow. To find the source of Harvey’s brilliant mind, you must look toward the sky. For Bean Pole” is indeed the tallest boy in the Senior Class. His sterling qualities and agricultural ambition will no doubt launch him upon the top of an air-castle far above the His athletic ability has been demonstrated on baseball field, where he has helped S. H. S. to many victories. KENNETH HAMILTON “Too much, too much—much loo much.” Kenneth has an unlimited amount of “nick” names, but his most common trade-mark is “Hawk.” His witty retorts and comic quotations have gained for him popularity among his fellow students and respect among his teachers. His greatest ambition is to speak French and make a football team. P. D. HEFFNER l.ook wise and yet the benefit of the doubt. ) Boo the golf . ark—when he isn’t knocking golf balls around the course, you will find him at the movie or riding around in his Packard. In Physics he may have his “ups and down,” but he makes up for that in History. He’s a fine scout, nevertheless. WILK HIX I’m sure care is an enemy to life. Here is another star of the famous basketball team! Ask him if he enjoyed Chicago, and see what be says. Also ask him where he got his nick-name. “Deacon.” Wilk is a great ladies’ man. and in spite of having the reputation of being “the laziest.” he has made a creditable record in his studies at High School, and we are sorry to see him go. RUTH GRIFFIN “Hany sorrow! Care will kill a eat. so let’s merry.” Who is that bright-eyed, lively girl coming the hall? Why. that's Ruth, and she’s going to History class. Nevertheless, there is one time when Ruth’s self-possession and intellect shine—in Physics experiments. We know how wayward Ruth is. for she absolutely refuses to continue her education at home. So. old girl, take your diploma and go! But. rest assured, your classmates will long remember you. SCRIBBLER ■ fRAia£i HODGES lie has only one weakness—the ladies. Frank’s generosity is exceeded only by bis good looks, which may or may not account for his many friends. His Oldsmobile is a favorite parking place for them. Frank's chief difficulty is arriving on time, but if he is persistent, who knows what worlds he mav not set on fire! Here’s to you, Frank. J. P. HOLT ■iod made him small in order to do a more choice Ivor km ans hip.” P. is a quiet, unassuming fellow, but made of teen karat gold. He is one of the exceptional ople who “wears well.” He is a fine student and somewhat of an athlete. That supreme of all virtues, common sense, is his. His capability and integrity of character can, shall, and must make him rise in the world. HESTER HOLMES “A daughter of the gods, divinely tall, and most divinely fair. I f only the teachers would ask questions about Carlisle Hall, instead of the (. ivil ar. Heck wouldn’t get a zero. Soon she’s going to get a private secretary to help keep up with her engagements. And. believe me. she can surely rattle off the poetry—when she’s blue. ROBERT H. HUGHES It is better to lie born lucky than with great riches.” Bob’s courtesy and his renowned ability in studies— “and trading”—has been recognized by everyone. His cheerful grin and dry humor have won for him many friends. No one ever sees or hears of Bob studying, but he is an honor roll scholar. All of us wish him great luck at Clemson. PEARCE D. HUGHSTON For he is a workman on the road to learning. Pearce is very industrous in his work, but when fun enters, he comes with grins. Pearce has a friendly smile which has won for him many friends, and which we know will win many more for him on the campus of Clemson. We consider Clemson lucky in getting this real scholar and good sport. fh'ii H E SCRIBBLER CATHERINE HUTCHINS Mighty in deed, love, and thought. Catherine’s one of the most popular girls in the class of '28. Her captivating manner and Sunday disposition have won her hosts of friends, (luce she got to school on time, and the shock was hard upon ’Fessor Blake. Catherine's a born leader, and we expect great things of her some day. Here's luck! HOWARD INGRAM Von never can tell the depth of the veil by the length of the handle that’s on the pump.’' “Skinny” is the victim of many a practical joke, but he takes them all good-naturedly, with no hard feelings. His greatest drawback is his inability to produce his books and his excuse at the right time. But when he manages to get hold of a book fifteen minutes before class, he’s there with the goods. PAULINE JACKSON Modest and shy as a daisy. Pauline, although very quiet among strangers, is distinguished among us for her sparkling wit and good humor. Her highest ambition is to some day learn to pronounce French. We hope, with all her learning, she will not lose her art of memorizing poetry. HELEN MAY JOHNSON IVhen in doubt—giggle. Do you know Helen May? Popular? I should say so! Why, she just compels one to like her. She has a habit of dancing breezily into “Fessor” Blake’s Physics room every morning raving over that “perfectly cute date she had the night before. To her friends she leaves the impression of funny remarks (especially in Physics class), blue Chryslers with the cut out, dates, and a vivacious personality. JOE HILL JOHNSON When the Great Scorer comes to write against your name, lie writes not that you won or lost, but how yon played the game. Behold the captain of the football team! and a star player of the basketball sextet! Joe is one of the most popular boys at school—particularly with the fairer sex. His good humor and friendliness are partly responsible for the good name he has made at Spartan High. We wish for you the best, Joe. H e: SCRIBBLER. BLANCHE JOLLY “The best kind of sport and a pal true blue. Blanche is one of the happiest and jolliest girls in our class. She is a friend to everyone, and is much loved by all. Blanche also loves all kinds of sports, and is ready to join in any fun that may come her way. She likes Wofford, too. When we think of a true pal, we always think of Blanche. GRACE JONES Calm as a summer sky of blue.’’ Under all exasperating, nerve-wracking experiences in the class room, Grace goes serenely on. Her ability as an actress has won for her a place of distinction among her classmates, while her fame as an arguer has spread far and wide. RUTH KELLER Woman is to be loved, not understood. Well, here’s the Senior question mark ! What dull classes 4-A would have if it were not for Ruth’s proverbial ninety-nine questions each day. However, that is surely one way to learn, and Ruth is far from being at the bottom of her class in scholastic records. She is lots of fun, and knows the private life of all the teachers, and possesses more inside information than an Information Bureau. Cheerful, good-natured and always “up and ready”—that’s Ruth. JOYCE KELLETT Here’s a heart for any fate. Who is that laughing? Joyce, of course, telling Margaret Brice something funny. She is a strong I . advocate of athletics, particularly football, and can always be found on the sidelines rooting enthusiastically! Some say she has personal reasons for liking the game. Suppose you ask her. In the classroom, she makes creditable marks, and with her friends she is quite popular. ELIZABETH KING “Be it'hat you endeavor to be.’’ She possesses a wonderful amount of concentration and has only to read her lessons over once to know them perfectly. Her grades are excellent, and she has had the privilege of taking only four examinations while at Spartan High. As a Latin student, few surpass her. She is a friend to everyone and beloved by all those who are fortunate enough to be named her friends. SCRIBBLER MARY LOU KIRBY “If love is music, play on forever.” Dreamy blue eyes—brown liair—a sweet, sweet smile—yes! Mary Lou reminds people of an angel— and she must be, because her music is—heavenly. The class of '28 has great hopes of front seat passes to your first Metropolitan concert, Mary Lou, so don’t forget us! Jk v ADA LANCASTER Give me music and true friends And life will be a pleasure.” When the whole class has declared that they have never heard of such a Latin rule, Ada quietly gets up, gives the rule and blandly winks at our dumb-founded faces. How Ada manages to play tennis all afternoon. practice for her career as the second Paderewski, get to bed for her beauty sleep, and then get on the honor roll is a riddle we’ve never solved. ROWENA LARK “Come what come may, time and the hour run through the roughest day.” Rowena is a quaint little mouse whose comings and goings do not make for disturbance in the class. Those who know her, however, like her, for she is always kind, thoughtful, and willing to help. BEATRICE LEE “Here’s a smile for those who love me, Here’s a sigh for those who hate; . bid whatever sky’s above me. Here’s a heart for any fate.” Here is a real pal! “Bea” is one of the best allround girls in High School. She can translate “Virgil” backwards, can shoot a wicked goal, can write poetry, and she can talk—and talk—and talk ! Whenever a good joke is being told, old Bea” is right there “holding both her sides.” And even if she has the malady of getting on the honor roll every month, she can always giggle and sympathize with us who don’t. GERTRUDE LEE “True to my word, my work, and my friends.” Worth, courage, honor, wit—these are indeed her sustenance and birthright. She seems to have attained the happy medium between fun and work. Gertrude is a quiet, unassuming girl whose sunny disposition has won for her many friends. ------- r i SCRIBBLER ELIZABETH LEM MONO Slic was made for happy thoughts. For playful wit, and laughter. Who is that talking over in the corner ? Elizabeth, of course! Tubby” can talk anybody’s blues away, and she helps Old Sol brighten up the schoolroom many a time. Petite, pep-personified, loads of fun, that is Elizabeth! Although you generally see her eyes roll heavenward when she is called on, she gets by somehow. Her sunshiny disposition and cheerful giggle have made her popular here at High School. DAVID LEONARD p'.V y heart is whole, my fancy free; ‘ Go away, little girls, don't bother me.” Most Xdks think “Dave” is timid, but answer this question: Have you ever seen him on a football field?” Well, then, you should! He is a favorite with his classmates and finds time, with all the athletic interests, to study enough to pass and make creditable marks. ELIZABETH LEONARD If you fall, get up.’’ Lib, with long hair—Lib, with short hair—Lib, in her Buick—Lib, with her latest crush”! One can never tell which Lib to expect. But whichever one appears is always a delightful one. She is full of fun, but not frivolous or silly. All who know and understand Lib love her and hope the best for her future. MARGARET LESESNE “A smile for all, a greeting glad; A loz'able, friendly way she had. Margaret is our star History pupil. If she ever made under 99, we don’t remember it. Although History is her strong suit, she never neglects her other studies. Her wise cracks in Physics and French often liven up a dull lesson. There seems to be no end to her accomplishments, for she plays the piano exceedingly well and swings a mean tennis racquet. If you want Margaret to “sit up and take notice,” just mention Union. , WILLIAM LOWE I “A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning. Bill is one of our best all-round boys. He always has a smile to greet the nine o’clock bell and plunges into his work with a will. “To do better.” Great bridges and buildings will mark his efforts in later years, for Bill has architectural ambitions. SCRIBBLER ALMA MALLARD And frame your mind lo mirth and merriment. Which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life. Next to her love for French, Alma loves—a Ford. Her classmates believe that her optimism will carry her through life as it has carried her through school. Her only fault is that she can't remember that school opens at nine o’clock instead of nine-thirty. ARNOLD S. MANN Bor e’en though vanquished, he could argue still.” When Arnold has an idea, or what he thinks is an idea, he feels that he must argue his point until all are convinced. He will make a great lawyer some day. Skinny has always been interested in athletics, and is mighty good with his hurdles on the track field. CARL MAY Build for character, not Always silent until called sends forth words of wdsy meanings. Carl is good man has his Waterloo, mean poet and lias i SCRIBBLER LLE MOORE without more fuss: all rests on ns.” to keep up with the school only three any-to WALTER MILLER “'Worry never made men great; why should 1 worry?’’ Red'' is conspicuous in any crowd, with his flaming hair towering above his associates. He is seriously .contemplating going into the movies or posing for a hair-tonic concern—that is, if he doesn’t become a second Bud Fisher in the cartoon world. LOUCILIA METLER Her glossy hair was clustered o’er a brow Bright with intelligence, fade and smooth.” Only those who have had the pleasure of being Loucilia's classmates can know how really intellectual and charming she is. Like all chubby people, Loucilia is always in a good humor. She is attractive and is liked by both teachers and pupils. Ask her what is so interesting in Charlotte. Maybe she’ll say that’s her home town, but we think differently. RUTH Me A BEE A t ood heart is worth gold ” Here is a girl we all love. Her gentle smil goal words to her classmates have certainly won place in the hearts of many. While others rave about not knowing their lessons. Ruth sits up in her quiet, dignified manner and rests comfortably—she has nothing to fear. In the future she is bound to succeed. RUTH McKAIN It’s the songs ye sing and the smiles ye wear That's a-making the sun shine everywhere.” Rufus” is a real friend and one that can always he depended upon. She will translate Virgil or work Physics for you—even if it’s just two minutes before class. Ruth has a talent for writing, too, and some of her humorous stories have been published in Thb Scribbi.br. We would not attempt to weigh her characteristics in such a limited space, because even scales are not that accurate. MARY ELLA McCREDIE “Her heart’s as far from fraud As heaven is from earth.” Take a teaspoon of sunshine and sprinkle in a few rain-drops. Stir in well some laughter, smiles, and a heaping tablespoon of joy: mix carefully with true friendship and everlasting love—that makes Mary Ella. EDWARD McDOWELL IT’hen hearts are trite. Few words will do.” Eddie” is one of these silent kind of boys until you know him. When he is called on in class, he hesitates at first, but when he does answer, this answer is usually correct. He is a big devotee of sports, and is always there ready to yell for the school. We wish Eddie” the best of luck as he pursues his higher education. JOHN McQUARRIE Life has no pleasure brighter or nobler than that of friendship.” Whenever anyone mentions John, we somehow unconsciously get a feeling of cheerfulness. John is one of the most cheerful and friendly fellows in his class. He possesses that quality which makes everyone with whom he comes in contact like him. He is a worthwhile friend, and we arc glad to count him as one of our graduates. NCD JEANETTE OUTZ If you have built ca-stlcs in the air. your work is not lost; that is where they should be; now put foundations under them. Talk about the last word”! That’s Jeanette— she’s right there on the latest news front Paris. You would think that she would forget her honorable lessons. But not she! When it conies to short stories, she can beat Mary Roberts Rhinehart. And, dear readers—she has promised to dedicate her first story to the class of '28. JESSIE OWEN “She excels each mortal thing, Upon the dull earth dwelling.” If you’re looking for a true-blue friend, find Jessie and become really acquainted with her. One reason we love her is because she is so unaffected. To our way of thinking she is the best sport of any girl we know. WATSON PAINTER Of soul sincere, in action faithful, in honor clear.” Four years acquaintance with Watson proves the above statement. If someone should ask what Watson’s hobby is, that question could be very definitely answered in one word. Math. But ask him if French will be one of the subjects in his college curriculum and see what he says. JAMES OUTZ 'When there’s a lady in the case. All other things give place.” ■Jim is the ladies’ man” of our class. His greatest trouble is escaping from hordes of his feminine admirers. His greatest ambition is to receive more mail than a movie star, and at the rate he is going now he promises to reach his heart’s desire. CHARI.ES PACE Happy am I; from care I’m free. Why aren’t they all content like me? Two years ago Charles came to us from Hastoc. He is one of those quiet, good-looking young fellows who is quite popular with the ladies. But he doesn't like to bone : instead, he prefers “to toot his saxophone, and he is no mean artist, either. Good luck. Charles! H -sr SCRIBBLER PALMER PARK The wide, wide world is my field. Who is my little whirlwind” coming down the hall? Why, that is “Shorty Park, of course. He may be short of stature, but he is great of intellect and mighty warm of heart, which accounts for his many friends here. One characteristic we have never been able to understand is why he is never baffled by the questions of Professor Blake and Mrs. Evans. GROVER PARHAM Worth makes a man.” Grover came to us one rainy day about four months ago. He was formerly from Hendersonville High School and excels in Physics. He has l een an addition to our student body. ETTIE SUE PARRIS An ideal girl in ez’ery way.” Ettie Sue has the faculty of fitting into whatever mood her friend is in. If that friend is sad. then Ettie Sou is sympathetic—if joyful, then Ettie Sue is lively. Regardless of the role, she can always play her part—and play it well, too. Here’s luck to the efficient secretary of “4-B.” JOHN PARROTT “Deceit is a stranger as yet to my soul.” Red hair usually suggests a temper, but not in this case. Johnnie talks a lot. but then he often has good ideas. He studies enough to make good marks and plays enough to have many friends. And “day by day in every way” he likes Spartanburg better (we wonder why) and Gaffney less. Success. Johnnie, and good luck! DOROTHY PATTON “The sweetest thing that ever grew beside a human door.” Modest, shy. and retiring. Dorothy goes on her way. Her blue eyes and sweet smile bring joy to the hearts of her classmates, and her ability to keep quiet under all conditions makes us envy her not a little bit. i SCRIBBLER BILLY PETTIS Worth makes the man.” Billy is one of our youngest graduates. Learned in languages and skilled in science, his dependability is an asset to any class. Chock-full of witty sayings and with an answer ever ready for any question, he peps up many a class. In our opinion, he is one of the best. MARY LOUISE PKNI.AND When hearts are true, I'cw words will do. When you hear anybody saying Wake up,” you know they're talking to Mary Louise. For with eyes on the heavens she dreams all day long, rather all day in school. But give her a tennis court from four to six and you wouldn’t know she was the same girl. Dreaming, dancing, talking, giggling, and you have Penny.' By the way. we wonder why she likes North Church Street ? REBECCA PHIFER Hence, loathed melancholy. Well, here’s what gentlemen prefer—and can't get. henever Rebecca is talking, we’re always laughing. “Bickv can shoot a line that would reach around the world five times and then have enough left to make another tour. Her friends are innumerable, and it must be her humor, her ready laugh, and being an all-around good sport that does the work. BEN PICKENS True as the needle to the pole. Ben is a favorite at high school with both faculty and students. His mental ability on the football field was nothing short of remarkable, and that same brain saves him in the class rooms and brings in 90's and the like. With his grim determination and splendid character he is bound to succeed in whatever he may undertake. VELMA POTEAT Love many, trust few, hut always paddle your ozcn canoe.” “Vep is out for a good time, and will try anything once and trust to luck for results. They say that brains and good looks are never found together, but Velma is a living denial of this wise crack. In the classroom, at a party, or on the athletic field, she has made her mark. She can laugh: she can joke; she can work; and she can do anything that goes to make success. H SCRIBBLER. GRACE POTTER Good nature is a sign of a large mid generous soul. A piece of calmness that neither earth nor sky can move, Grace takes zeros as calmly as hundreds—rainy weather as calmly as sunshine. Always the same, and ever willing to lend a helping hand, she serenely passes on her way. RALPH PRAYTOR One can't know everything.’' Dear Reader, the above is not a mere actor, as the picture may suggest, hut a mere mortal, Ralph, by name. He has never been known to have the right book in class at the right time. His ability to get into class a half-second before the final bell is nothing short of miraculous. That his ambition for fame will continue as the years go by, we are certain. RHESA PURNELL Gii'e to the world the best that you have. And the best will come back to yon. Four and twenty months ago, Rhesa came to us from the mountains of Virginia. Schools up there must be good, for when he speaks in class everyone sits up and takes notice. And how the girls admire his black liair! Tennis courts and picture shows are his favorite resorts. EVERETT REEDER Never trouble trouble, till trouble troubles you. 4-D would not be 4-D without Reeder. His persistent questions to teacher or student do not allow us to forget for long his presence. He is an admirer of the fairer sex, with whom he is quite popular. His easy-going ways and ready smile will always win for him friends. LOUIS ROGERS An honest man is the noblest work of God. Louis is one of the most silent boys in the Senior Class. However, he possesses all the qualities which go into the make-up of the highest type of manhood. He may teach school or he may be a farmer. In either case, he has our best wishes. SANDFORD ROPER “Life n’ith love is Heaven.” Satnlx entered our class in '26. coming from Hailey. He likes a joke, and is always ready to hear one or to pass on a good one. His favorite sport is football. His good looks have made him popular with the girls, and the boys name him a mighty good fellow.” O’NEAL SOLESBEE Strive ever onward as a friend.” O’Neal is a quiet, meditative type of boy. but a true gentleman. In the classroom, lie is a conscientious student and at recess he is always ready to partake of any fun that comes along. He is slightly bashful, but has a heart of pure gold. You must be acquainted with him to know his real worth. HUGH SHAW “A strait; character-—not loo serious, not too gay. hut altogether a folly good fellow. Hugh has accomplished wonders during his sojourn at Spartanburg High. His wise cracks are always appreciated by his fellow students, if not by his teachers. Our constant query is how can he study so rarely and yet always pass. He likes athletics and is always present at the games. If lie is as successful in the future as he has been in the past, we will have no fear for his success. SIDNEY SHAPIRO True merit has no limitations.” Shuffling feet and innumerable questions! Sidney is tbe author of both. But those feet are topped by a brainy head, and the answers to those questions sink in. as is evidenced by the high marks he gets. Sidney has a sense of humor which has made him popular with his classmates. ISAAC SHIER Men who have the most to say. use the fewest words.” Some folks say Jelly Bean ’ is lazy-—but that can’t be so. for he is always on the honor roll. Some-folks say he studies all the time: but that is not so. either, for he can be found nearly every afternoon with Hugh Shaw on his way to the movies. My only solution is that be studies enough to learn, and pretends enough to bluff, and—is in every respect a good pal to be with! H ET SCRIBBLER. THOMAS SHIPPEY “Let your speech he heller Ilian silence, or he silent f' Tom is a quiet kind of a fellow, who listens while others speak their minds. Whenever he disagrees, he speaks out, and must know “Why.” His sojourn at High School has brought him many friends who wish him well. RUTH SIGMAN “Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean.” Athletic, lively, and full o’ spirits is Ruth. Her enthusiasm and presence make school endurable and often fun. Ruth never gets disturbed by little things, but keeps her excitement for high moments. She is a comrade and a friend who possesses the rare charm of being the same wherever you see her. ELIZABETH SIMMS “Xot what seems fair, hut what is true: Not what zee dream, hut what toe do.” Some people are pretty—some people are talented in writing—and some people “rate” in social circles. Elizabeth combines all these and more. too. Hence it is no wonder that she stands well with her teachers and is popular with her classmates. ISABEL SIMS “Not too nood. not too bad. A happy-go-lucky zvay she had.” Isabel is the type of girl one likes to live with every day. She is neither too serious nor too gay. but a rare good sport. She is. in short, what so many dream of and so few get to he—a charming, lovable, and ever-inspiring companions. “It is Isabel who shares our woes.—the longer we know her, the dearer she grows.” MARG 1UERITH SMITH “A gulden heart is better than a silver tongue. Here she is! “Pee-Wee,” with her Algebra. She came to us from Alabama, and our constant wonder is how we got along without her during our first two years of High School. Her place in our hearts cannot be filled—even by a “six-footer.” sssss SCRIBBLER. NETTIE SMITH “All (jood thin (is have not kept aloof, Nor wandered into other zvays, Nettie is the kind of a girl who would gaze upon the Freshmen and giggle, “Life with you lambs, like day, is just begun ’ and of whom the Freshmen would enviously murmur, “Such age—how beautiful!” She has a delicious little laugh that spoils her Senior dignity and entrances all who hear it. Everybody loves Nettie, ’cause Nettie loves everybody. RUPERT SMITH A strong character—not too serious, not too gay, but altogether a jolly good fellozo. Here he is, the most taciturn boy in his class. As little as you might believe it, Rupert has a girl. He has all the qualities which are needed in the making of the highest type of a gentleman—courtesy, consideration, and a high sense of honor. MARY LEE SPROUSE “She is little, she is shy; But there s mischief in her eye. Mary Lee’s ability to make honor roll grades in French has been the wonder and admiration of her class. In her quiet, dignified way she passes among us and delights us with her sly humor. Her staunch comradeships is admired by everyone. She anxiously waits for classes because she knows each one will bring her that much nearer June. CORNELIA STIMSON “If studying is a crime, I'm not guilty Happy-go-lucky! That’s Cornelia. We never know at what time of day she may come running in. and the awful part about it is she is always minus an excuse. Hut she grins and proceeds to tell us about a date and a dance. In spite of the late hours she keeps, she always bluffs her teachers and somehow gives the answers to their questions. EMILY GAY SUDDUTH “A creature not too bright or good Bor human nature's daily good. To think of Emily is to think of Peter Pan—because she will never grow up. either. But when it comes to stories with surprise endings, she rivals O. Henry. Often when we hear her rave we are prone to wonder, “Is it a new ‘crush’, or has she just ‘lost’ something?” In the latter case, the article is—just forgotten. 7 r H E SCRIBBLER. HUBERT SURRATT To worry little, to study less, My idea of happiness.” No matter what the argument may be, Hubert is always ready to offer suggestions. Usually he is wrong, but occasionally he is right. In either case, he can always be found smiling at the result of a recitation, regardless of the consequences, whether a hundred or a zero. MARY LEWIS SWINK “A popular timid, and always in style; In rain or sunshine she wears a merry smile.” Every Monday mornng Mary Lewis looks on the world with sleepy eyes, and the reason—well, we’ll let her say why. By her frank and ready smile she has won the hearts of her classmates. No one loves a good time better than Mary Lewis. However, her pleasures do not take time from her lessons—really, she is a wizard in Algebra. BERNICE TATE “For never anythin! can be amiss, when simpleness and duly tender it.” Those of you who have ever seen Bernice do that which she ought not to,—please raise your hand. She never let's her tongue get her in trouble. With her go our wishes for the best of luck always. NED TAYLOR Live your life as you see best; Play the game, fate will do the rest.” By perseverance and untiring efforts. Pete has reached one of his goals in life—graduation. An earnest student, a hard worker, Ned never gave up a task until he had accomplished what he had set out to do. We feel sure that he will soon make a mark for himself in the world. CARRIE TEMPLETON Sober, steadfast, demure.” Carrie is one of those girls who talks little but thinks much. In the school and classroom her blue eyes and sunny smile have endeared her to everyone, and her cheery disposition has won a lasting place in the hearts of all her classmates. SCRIBBLER DOROTHY THOMAS Nature made her what she is. And never made another.” Dot is noted for her smile—which is just like the sun shining on the dewy grass. She has big blue eyes which the opposite sex just can’t resist. She is without any exception the best vamp our class can produce. We all join in wishing her all the happiness in the world. LILLIE MAE THOMAS “Why worry, it will happen anyway.” Lillie Mae’s bright eyes and warm smile have endeared her to all her classmates. She’s very quiet in school—Ixit outside Lillie Mae s loads of fun. She s always ready for a good time, and is a true-blue sport. We like her. MYRTLE THOMAS What eare for words? For zvords do zvell zvhen he that speaketh them please Those that hear.” Quiet, reserved, and dignified, that’s Myrtle! Very few of her classmates have ever seen her talking when she is not supposed to. It is our wish that she 11 always love—Physics! and not forget those of 11s here who cannot forget her. IS ESTELLE THORNTON ' Happy I am; from eare Tin free; Why aren't they all content like me?” “Give me your French sentence!” That’s Estelle. But she is also always willing to help anyone she can. Our class has many reasons for believing in her generosity. Her luck in History class is proverbial. She reads her lessons once and always gets the easy questions. May this luck continue through life! BESSIE TRAKAS “A hiif heart, always wishing to do right and to be friends with everybody.' When you hear the words, “Have some,” you know Bessie is bound to be around. She is one of the most generous and one of the sweetest girls in our class. Lucky is the person who wins and keeps her friendship. SCRIBBLER CATHERINE TRAWICK It’s not that 1 don’t liJtc to work. But I’m just not in sympathy with it.” Catherine is Louisa’s Gold-Dust twin—she thinks site's good-looking until someone tells her that she looks exactly like Iyouisa, then she knows she is! Catherine has aspirations of some day becoming a second Rosa Ponselle—but her friends doubt it. We think Cat is a lot of fun, especially when she goes on a rampage about Dido and Aeneas and gives radical facts concerning Byron. We predict that she'll get more pure fun and profit out of college than anybody we know. LOUISA TRAWICK “ may not be handsome, but I deelare I’m distinguished looking—” Ixtttisa is Catherine’s Gold-Dust twin. She thinks she’s a li’l o’ sunshine until someone calls her Catherine, then she knows she is. Louisa likes lots of things—tennis and parties, particularly. They” say that she doesn't talk much. She says she would if Catherine would give her a chance. Anyway, she has a way all of her own. HELEN TURNER “Earth's noblest thing—a woman perfect.’’ The fairies must have woven a magic mantle of life, made of love, kindness and thoughtfulness and have sewed the edges of it together with friends,— big, little, old and young, which Helen unconsciously wears. RUTH TURNER If silence is golden, then I’m solid brass. Except when I’m called on in Algebra class.” Here's to Ruth—the giggler of 4-B. Wherever we go we hear her “Hare-brained chatter of irresponsible frivolity.” We suspect her of consuming the “midnight oil,” for she always knows her lessons (with a single exception) in spite of teaching music in the afternoons and having dates at night. “And in her tread was revealed the true goddess.” FANNIE LOUISE VERMONT “My candle burns at both its ends. It zvill but last the night; But ah! my pals, and oh! my friends, It makes a lovely light.” This is our Editor-in-chief—and our Senior privilege. Needless to say, part of the success of “pub-licating” this magazine is hers. Her picture may suggest a sweet, shy young thing, but wait till you meet her! She’s the “first man” at every meeting, class, or controversy. With all of her love of a good time— and she has her share of dates with the opposite sex— she finds time to read, to study, and to endear herself to all with whom she comes in contact. f SCRIBBLER WILLIAM WALTERS “Here’s a heart for any fate. Look out, ladies, here he is—Lem, the wonder boy! He may be a bit bashful, but time helps everything. What he lacks in confidence with the ladies be possesses in no uncertain terms on the athletic field. Lem helped produce a State championship in basketball, and he is a young Walter Johnson on the baseball diamond. And when he gets started, he can make fine records in the classroom. Success is sure to follow you. Lem. old boy. ELLA GAINES WARDLAW “The queen rose of the rose garden of girls.” Behold! Here is one solution to our troubles, whether they be Latin furies or French puzzles, just “ask Ella Gaines.” She is the kind of person who can put on an intellectual look at nine and take it off at two, consequently she makes a hit with all the teachers. With her sunny disposition and pleasing personality, it is no wonder that her friends are numbered by her acquaintances. FRANK WATKINS iveryone who knew him liked him. Have I not said enough ?” Frank is an undeniable asset to Spartanburg High School. His interest in athletics is surpassed only by his interest in high school. His keen humor has caused many a hearty laugh in the classroom. May he live long and prosper. LUCILLE WHALEY “Her hair teas not more sunny Ilian her smile.’’ Lucille is an absolute contradiction to the red-haired class, for she has the jolliest disposition you ever saw. Optimistic? Oh. my. yes! If we were to see a frown on her serene face, we’d all have nervous breakdowns. No one ever knows what Lucille will do next. She often gets up to recite, with the blankest of expressions on her face, and answers correctly ! Some day she is going to make a hundred on Physics—we hope. ANGELA WHITLOCK “She mixes reason with pleasure. And zeisdom with mirth. Here our pen falters, not because we haven't anything to say. but because nothing that we can say will do her justice. Whenever you hear peals of laughter coming from 4-F. you can rest assured that Angela's tongue is busy, and we guarantee her ready wit and originality will vanquish any Monday morning blues. Moreover, Angela is one of the few real, inspired poets, a born athlete, and one of the best all-around girls in the Senior Class. SCRIBBLER JUSTINE WHITLOCK “This happiness a habit is. for life is what we make it.” If you chance to pass by the ladder of success and look up, you will see a little girl with a mop of tumbled black hair sitting on the top rung swinging her feet—that's Justine. The dignified job of being Editor-in-chief of The Scribbler doesn’t worry her a bit. and she’s always ready to poke fun at you or make some bright sally. Her many talents have made her one of the shining stars of the Senior Class. ELIZABETH WIDEMAN “Hear me a little. for I'm not silent long” Jolly, jovial, and the most optimistic person in the world—such is Elizabeth! Yes. she talks, and then talks a little more, but “how else can you say what you want to?” Elizabeth never has time to get excited over anything, not even lessons, and worry wasn't made to fit her spacious heart and body. But her classmates enjoy her, and her bubbling giggle is a proof to the teacher that at least one person is awake. KATHLEEN WILBURN “To be beloved is all I need. And whom I love, 1 love indeed” Halt! Who goes there? A lover—of chewing gum! I f chewing gum be the food of love—chew on! To the school she leaves an impression of high heels, growing-out hair and a shark. FRANK WILLIAMS “Worry and I have never met This is the outstanding humorist of the Senior Class. This gift, combined with a vivid imagination, has served The Scribbler admirably and won for him a host of friends here at Spartan High. Frank does not always live in the dream world, though, as evidenced by the fact that he makes good marks. DANIEL WILLIS “for even though vanquished, he could argue still.” Some day the halls of Congress will ring with the power of his voice. For Dan will never admit he is wrong, although defeat (or a zero) seems certain. He aspires to be a Paavo Nurmi. His smile and curly hair have won for him a place in the hearts of his fellow classmen (mostly the fairer sex). Here’s to you, success! o y SCRIBBLER. GERALD WILLIS “Act well your part; there all honor lies.” Gerald is an ardent enthusiast at all the athletic sanies. He doesn’t like French much, but he is an A Number One bookkeeper. In school he keeps his own council, hut all the same he is a popular member of Class 4-D. and all his friends wish him well. MARY STUART WINGO Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are. Have you ever been to Charleston? Mary Stuart has. Have you ever been in love? Mary Stuart has. Have you ever made a hundred on an Algebra exam ? May Stuart has. Can you wear the Senior dignity with grace? Mary Stuart can. Her musical talent is only exceeded by her good looks and stunning clothes. :s H E SCRIBBLER Our 0astle of 2)reams Somewhere on an isle in the stream of Time We’ll build a Castle of Dreams; Of thoughts that are true and nobly obtained, Of kindly deeds and motives restrained Which reared by our ideals shall gleam. The lessons learned in school days here Yield Timber for our Towers; Foundations we’ll lav both firm and deep. We’ll guard the halls where Fancies sleep. To fix this dream of ours. Its walls we'll build of Daring Deeds, Its windows from gems of thought; We store it with Facts for future needs. And fill it with Dreams where Romance leads. Which these school days have brought. From it the light of Truth shall shine. To illumine a darkening sky, And guard our hearts so true and kind. That proper kinds of love will combine. And we’ll climb to heights on high. With love, we’ll build our Castle of Dreams, Out there in the Stream of Time; Its light shall resemble the sunset’s beam. And the bright delight of sunrise’s gleam Will illumine its top sublime. Some day we’ll realize all our plans, This scheme that seems so great— Then fair and tall our building will stand, '1’he dream of the hearts and work of the hands. Of the class of “Twenty-eight.” Oh, may this Castle forever stand. A power by night and day; Oh, may its towers and turrets grand Show forth a light to all the land. Till Time has passed away! —Jeanette Outz. H E SCRIBBLER piston] of Class of 1928 HR STUBBY candle burns low, the light flickers and fades, the shadows gather in corners. Ere the wavering flame dies and the workmen, then-time expired, have discerned the credit or censure of their handiwork, let us view the drama of these past four years. The tools with which we have labored, the influences which have molded us. the transformations which have taken place—what of all these? As our work nears completion, we find no standardized, fortnularized product, but rather individualistic entities functioning separately, which are the result, as it were, of contact with different characters and a particular environment, in which these scenes have taken place, and of the incidents which have occurred, and in passing, left their mark upon us. I he curtain rises on the first act. A new stage is prepared and in readiness— the old and honored High School on Converse Street having been consigned to the ranks of memory with the epitaph of “well done, good and faithful servant.’’ Here upon this new and perfectly equipped stage, the present graduating class begins to play their parts as Freshmen of the Spartanburg High School. Fresh as a May morning, this marvelous building appears. As yet, there are no exhibitions of art upon the desks, the blackboards have recorded nothing to be remembered (or erased), and the halls, as yet untrodden, stretch shining and new before us. So with happy hearts and high ambitions, we step into outplaces and hear our parts assigned. The play is on! Literary societies are organized, and with trembling voices and palpitating hearts we introduce ourselves as public speakers to the assembled audience. The applause is generous and causes us to renew our efforts, with the result that we gain confidence as the play progresses. We begin to believe in ourselves! This belief has ever been our slogan and has created in us a spirit which is later to cause us to play principal parts. During this year splendid basketball teams are organized, which later compete successfully with visiting teams. We have always believed in school spirit and counted it a necessary factor for the success of any endeavor. We have during the four-act drama done our best to realize that for which we have striven—to play well, and with zest, the part assigned. Upon this same stage we make our debut as musicians in the Glee Club, presenting the operetta. “Swords and Scissors,” which is well received and spurs us on to other endeavors. Not content with a single achievement, we sally forth in blissful ignorance into hitherto untried paths and help produce “The Follies.” Here again we are fortunate and not hissed off the stage. “Live and learn,” the wise men say, and we are fast acquainting ourselves with the wisdom which comes from experience, so when examinations arrive and close this first act of our drama, we are ready for the curtain. ■ r SCRIBBLER. On September 15. 1925, returning from vacations of numerous kinds, the same cast with few changes takes up the thread of events and the play goes on. Here the Glee Club takes a long step forward and with deserved applause presents “The Magic Wheel.” In this act, too, we witness the third consecutive winning hv the I ligh School of a silver loving cup presented by the Southern Choir and Choral Society. 'This prize is now ours for the keeping. Literary Society officers are elected, and under the wise direction of Miss Atkins and Miss Bowers, “'I'he 1926 Follies” are presented, introducing new steps in the dance and furnishing lively entertainment in the new and catchy songs of the season. So said the critics. Our sports progress noticeably, and our literary efforts appear often in Tirrc Scribbler. We are forced to accept the resignation of Miss Atkins as faculty adviser, and it is with sad hearts that we change directors. However, we find in her successor. Mr. Wilson, an able and generous advisor, and under his direction our magazine continues to grow. As we review this act. it seems indeed short, vet to us who have acted it, there are memories of many hours of labor and many worlds of jov and good times. The curtain rings down on a merry crowd who are off for a vacation of sleeping late and retiring at midnight. The third act opens to the sound of music, a combination of martial, jazz, and “Here Comes the Bride.” Three new organizations are now formed—the Drum and Bugle Corps, the Orchestra, and the Atkins-Jenkins Corporation! Our manager has indeed ventured upon the high seas of matrimony, and we applaud our beloved Miss Atkins as the Honorable Mrs. L. W. Jenkins! Mr. Dobson adds a track team as a new feature of the athletic program. This cast proves worthy of the careful training and expert direction by Mr. Dobson, for they win third place in the State Track Meet. Thus we witness our amateur productions fast becoming professional successes! The stalls of our stage are enlarged by the acquisition of additional property which extends our stage an entire block, allowing us opportunity for greater and further athletic endeavors. The students of the lower grades organize themselves into a huge chorus which renders creditably several numbers at commencement. As the last strain of music dies away, the curtain lowers slowly before a sobered cast, who realizes for the first time that the drama is nearing completion and that in this last act the principal parts are theirs—to interpret and to live up to, and so to enact that others may interpret their parts upon a higher platform. As we come together for the presentation of this final act of our High School Drama, we meet as members of cast, who depend upon each other for our cues and who believe in teamwork. Never have we been disappointed. The Glee Club this year wins another cup for our trophy room. Our basketball team, under the ex-] ert direction of Mr. Frost, wins the State Championship, followed by a trip to Chicago, where the National Tournament is held. Our track team again brings credit to the cast who supports them by taking second place in the State Meet. These honors are achieved under the shadow of our new gymnasium which is H e: SCRIBBLER. being erected. The Scribbler again changes hands, and Miss Finley, the head of the English Department, directs the compiling of the school magazine. This year a new feature, an annual, is added, which takes us one step nearer our hearts’ desires. The cast of characters in this drama just reviewed, stands out in sharp contrast to each other. '1 here are individuals whose strong personalities have made for themselves and for the class places which will he hard to fill. Such are our scholarship students, our athletic stars, and our social leaders. There are groups of people who. possessing the same characteristics, have made for our class a name. Such are the talkative ones, the giggling ones, and the noisy ones. There are in this cast three sets of twins, whose likeness have puzzled actor and director alike. Such are the Whitlocks, the Trawicks and the Outzes. As these characters have played their parts, there have been some heroes— and a few villains. We leave it with our audience, who has always been kind and generous in its verdict, to separate the sheep from the goats. It is true that sometimes we have been sent to the office for forgetting our lines or being late to rehearsal, or missing our cue. hut then there are other occasions when Mr. fenkins has smiled benevolently upon us and declared that we have been the most agreeable cast he has ever directed, and that we have produced fewer failures in our performances than any previous group. We hope that efforts will make for greater drama in the future, and that our fame will he linked with that of our company, the Spartanburg High School. As the curtain descends, it is not good-bye, hut “Au Revoir”—“till we meet again.” Untouched Sponsored by Angela Whitlock Material UajP U;UUUt CU10HPI and Billy J. Pettis Vol. I Spartanburg High School, June 1, 1948 No. 1 GREEN SUED FOR $50,000.00 Stupendous Production to Be Presented Here McKain Brings Charge, Naming Actress as Co-Respondent In one of the greatest trials ever to come up in a South Carolina court docket. Miss Ruth McKain is sueing Harvey Green, multimillionaire butter and egg man. for $50,000 in a breach of promise case. Miss Lucille Whaley, pretty actress, was named as corespondent by Miss McKain for allegedly alienating Green’s affections. Yesterday, af- ter the jury had been impaneled, two witnesses testified for the prosecution, Hugh Shaw, proprietor of the “Golden Peacock” night club, and Cornelia Stimson, Miss Mc-Kain’s maid. Shaw said that he had seen Green and Miss McKain frequently in his club, and especially on the night of Tuesday, February 30, 1948. When asked why he remembered this date, on which, according to the plaintiff, the defendant asked for her hand, and received an affirmative answer. Shaw replied that Green, because of some Inward joy. it seemed to him. had given him :i tip of a quarter, instead of the customary fifteen cents. Miss McKain. who took the stand for a short while, also said that Green deserted her one week later for no apparent reason, and then began attending Miss Whaley. Miss Stimson testified that she had heard Miss McKain say repeatedly that she was to be married to Green in April. The witness said that she had assisted in the arrangements for the wedding, which never came off. The crowded court room was filled with weeping women as the letters which Green wrote Miss McKain were read. The letters were couched in very endearing terms. The attorneys for the prosecution are John Parrott and Frank Hodges, partners of Parrott. Hodges. Miss Nettie Smith and T. R. fhildress represent Green, who will take the stand tomorrow along with Miss Whaley and Miss McKain. who will then give the main body of her testimony. Judge Elmo Bowen was frequently necessitated to quell disturbances in the court room during the proceedings. The jury is composed as follows: Grace Potter, restaurant proprietor; Grace Jones, stenographer; Arthur Coggins and Grover Parham, civil engineers; Lucinda Dillard, writer; Mardie Campbell, manufacturer; Hubert Surratt, baronet; Louis Rogers, farmer; Eutha Chaffin, foot powder manufacturer. Isaac Shier, professional chess player, and Thomas Shippey and Robert Bowen, boat builders. - $ - Alman Blames Speculators Guilt for Stock Market Disaster Falls on Three Men The blame for the recent sharp and disastrous rise and fall of the stock market rests upon the shoulders of Leonard Murph, Robert Hughes and Marshall Crawley, stock market speculators, according to Hayes Alman, Piggily Wiggily Corporation head. Alman was accused with the same charge a few days ago by Elizabeth Leonard, reporter on the Spartanburg “Courier.” Piggily Wiggily stock rose six days ago from % to %, but four days later fell to %. Murph. Hughes and Cnrtvley are reported to have cleaned up ten cents in the calamitous fluctuations. Alman yesterday refused to give further details concerning his charge against the three men. --------- $----------- New Book Causes Furor “T.N.T.,” by Whitlock, Arouses Critics Justine Whitlock’s latest high-powered novel, the greatest best-seller” in twenty years. “T.X.T.” (The Tale of the Nutty Twins), has created a furor in the press of this country. It has attracted such notice that the famous Trawick twins, heads of the book-reviewing department of the “American Mercury,” have been aroused to comment as follows: “We cannot see why such unutterable bosh has won the favor that It has. The style of this tale of two simpering adolescents is horrible, the plot has no consecutiveness. and the attempted witticisms are murderous. The whole book is awful.” On the other hand, Wilk Hix, who reviews for the “Police Gazette.” says, “As a story of a wonderful love, I have never seen its equal. The two main characters are poignantly drawn and the conversation is extremely good. It is a ‘chef d’oeuvres' of literature.” Isobel Sims, in the New York “Times.” takes the middle view in opining. ‘T.X.T.’ is too detailed. The hero is somewhat overdrawn, and the heroine is not the typical girl of today as Miss Whitlock would have her. The ‘Tiger’s Revenge.' written three years ago, is far better in technique, plot and atmosphere.” Purnell and Anthony Feature in “Thirty Cents Admission” Thirty Cents Admission,” Famous-PIayers-Lasky’s latest ten-million-dollar production, featuring Rhesa Purnell and Louise Anthony, supported by Earl Bagwell, Gwendolyn Dill and Medora Kaminer, will be shown at the Rex Theatre Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Purnell's handsome countenance will again be seen with delight by thousands of flappers, while other thousands of “lizards” will rapturously gaze upon that of Louise Anthony. The dice game scene is said to be thrilling beyond imagination, and the climax, when Ima Nutt, played realistically by Purnell, starts to fly to Venus, is reported to be both the most extravagant and the most dramatic ever Aimed. Picture reviewers say that Miss Anthony and Purnell, a famous combination, surpass their old standard and that the three supporters show marked promise. Fifty per cent, of the receipts will go to the “Home for Blind Mice,” founded by Bud Fisher. Vermont to Have Charge of Stallings’ Campaign Campaign Started with Contribution G. L. Stallings, senator from South Carolina, who. three days ago was appointed Democratic presidential nominee, has announced that Miss Fannie Louise Vermont, a politician famous throughout the country and the first woman head of Tammany, will have charge of his campaign and that of Sidney Shapiro, who is on the same ticket as vice-presidential candidate. Her lieutenants. Katherine Hutchins and Palmer Park, have already been sent out to make arrangements, one to the Pacific Coast and the other to the Southern States. According to Miss Vermont, Mrs. Andrew Allison (nee Margaret Brice) has promised to give a hundred dollars for the campaign fund. This is considered by Miss Vermont as almost sufficient to defray expenses. The Democratic Convention nominated Stallings in Spartanburg. S. C.. in a $5,-000,000 auditorium especially constructed by Moore and Goodwin, contractors, at the behest of Mayor P. D. Heffner, who is given credit for bringing the convention to this city of not over 100.000 inhabitants.

Kidnapping Case Ends in Abrupt Climax Detective Hawkshaw Hamilton Makes Astounding Discovery The fourth day of the trial of Howard In-gram, Dorothy Thomas, O’Neal Solesbee and David Leonard, accused of kidnapping Miss Betty Cannon, advisor to the Governor of South Carolina, from her home in Columbia on Friday, thirteenth of November. 1949. opened this morning at ten o’clock with Judge Caswell Hobbs presiding over court. The lawyers of the accused, Mr. Joe Hill Johnson and Mr. John Staples, were both so eloquent in their speeches that upon several occasions the jury burst into passionate tears while looking at the alleged criminals. However. this lasted for only a moment, for the Cannon lawyers. Mr. Everett Reeder and Mr Arnold Mann, soon came to the front and with perfect ease prevented any other person from speaking for the remainder of the trial. The first to be brought to the stand was Ingram, who took his place with grim determination showing on his roaming features. Mr. Reeder questioned the accused in so many and with such harsh words that Ingram had to be carried out unconscious from exhaustion. The next to take the stand was Leonard. Upon being asked where he had been on the night of Friday, November 13. 1949, he swore that he had forgotten her name, which clue the Cannon lawyers were quick to grasp. Then detective Frank Willis was asked to show evidence to the court Whereupon, Mr. Willis produced from a leather case a long, wavy, blond hair, a well worn history book, and a platinum hot air gauge, things which the detective declared he knew to be important necessities in Miss Cannon’s life, and which she had not been without in many years. Mr. Willis swore that he had found these in Mr. Leonard’s shipping office on the Pacolet Dock shortly after Miss Cannon’s disappearance. Mr. Leonard said he had never seen the articles. Solesbee and Miss Thomas could neither one be awakened sufficiently to be quizzed, so these two offered little satisfaction to the jury.

Charles Willard, Frank Watkins and Ned Taylor started for their attempt to make a non-stop flight across Lawson’s Fork. The adventurers were eager to accomplish their flight, but despite determination they were unsuccessful. According to reports, the fliers were only half way over when Willard glanced toward the front of the plane and noticed that the propeller was missing. After a careful search, they ail came to the conclusion that it was not there at all. The fliers decided to play safe and turn around instead of trying to attempt the other half of the journey without a propeller. It is very seldom that a pilot uses such good judgment and these are to be commended instead of scolded for their wise actions. ----------$ ---------- “Slicker” Factory to Be Here Five Dollars Capital The announcement was made yesterday diat a new “slicker” factory would make its home in Spartanburg in the near future.

SCRIBBLER. ‘IQho’s tQho? Silence—deep silence—profound silence—silence. Watchful eyes. Bated breaths. Wonderful instruments on all sides of the room. A thin, wiry little man, stands behind a queer table with one hand uplifted. He holds an object so that all may see. The light glimmers on his glasses. He speaks slowly and his voice echoes in the still room— Molecules kicking and dancing ... a beautiful, beautiful experiment!” Comes the answering reply, “(lee, ’Fessor Blake, do we have to write that up for tomorrow?” kind of a grin do you wish? Miss Brice has ’em body! Any favorites? No! Why? Democracy! of the History classes of ’28 can testify.) king, rowdy crowd of American youths dash pell-mell into orshiper of the gods of Greek and Roman mythology stands at her head in the clouds. The bell rings. She breezes toward the renzied haste. After the preliminaries, “Well, class, that reminds me my aunt’s mother’s cousin’s brother’s wife’s father’s uncle’s daughter-in-aw—” And Mrs. Pettis’ class has begun. Girls Girls Girls A pushing, shoving, arguing, disputing, laughing, talking, giggling, shouting-crowd of girls. “Let’s play this!” “No. let’s play that!” “I’m forward!” “Oh, no; you aren't, either!” “I will!” You won’t”—and into the midst of this confusion steps a tall young person wearing a straw hat. a white middy, black bloom- A portly lady with snappy brown eyes and abundant hair comes into the class room before the bell has rung. She closes the door after her. One by one, the late-comers straggle in, closing the door with a bang. The lady calls the roll, picks up a book, looks at it, sticks her small tongue out of one side of her mouth, and says: “Gwendolyn, you may work this example,” to which the class shouts. We didn’t have th; B AIiss Allen.” (And Algebra class has begun.) clohes-—marcelled hair—ivory complexion— ve Miss Rudd, the high school Venus. She dumbest—and her Phvsics is as smooth as Slick- shapely dies an - Y— H e; SCRIBBLER ers, and tennis shoes. W ith a word here and there, she brings order out of the chaos, and soon a crowd of happy little girls are busily engaged playing lively games—behold Miss Bowers, the efficient. Plaster casts all around the room—Diana’s head looking at Apollo’s head; a woman with wings walking out of the corner; a man dancing on one toe and balancing snakes on a pole; a bust of Caesar frowning; a pretty girl with a cup and pitcher; pictures of the Forum; men tangled up with snakes, and Roman deities, '['he teacher stands near the window holding a black roll book, a fountain-pen and a “Virgil.” She begins speaking, and a whimsical smile flashes across her face. It is none other than Mrs. Evans, and what she is saying is. “You sec, class, Latin is such a reasonable language.” The shepherdess, at the sound of the distant bell, closes her conversation with the neighboring shepherd, and in a quiet and dignified manner walks to her place in the shade of the black-board. She eagerly casts her eyes about the meadow to make sure that none of the faithful sheep have fallen by the wayside. After calling their names, one by one, with a brief smile she commands them to partake of the meal. And what a meal! One bushel of ablatives; one quart of verbs; one peck of tenses, and one pint of subjunctives. Served red hot by Miss Gooch, the shepherdess. Dust rises from the football field. The scorching sun burns down unrelentlessly upon the players. On the side lines sit the substitutes, their sweaters over their knees. At the end of their bench, a man with a grey cap, pulled low over his eyes, legs crossed, and one hand holding his ankle, watches the game with tense face. The ball is carried several yards—the bleachers cheer. Xo sign of recognition crosses the man’s face. Finally, one player darts out on a brilliant run, ending in a touchdown. The bleachers go mad—a slow grin spreads over Coach Frost’s face. A group of harrassed students climb wearily the flights of stairs leading up to the third floor. Approaching Room 313, however, looks of deepest wisdom and mighty understanding replace the hopelessness of their countenances. An imposing picture greets them—impelling blue eyes and wavy brown hair and dress immaculately clean. The wise ones enter, and Miss Russell, smiling, moves toward the desk with a brief “Very well!” A sultry, warm room; listless pupils at the board; chalk dust; whispering children bending over books turned upside down. An energetic figure enters the room. Soon a busy hum arises, for Miss Stone, whose motto is “Procrastination is the thief of time,” has crossed the threshold. -- — Little, red-headed—true blue. That's Miss Carlisle. She’s always talking about her temper, but none of us have seen evidence of it. Just let me tell you. O Gentle Reader, when you have any troubles, take them to Miss Carlisle, the Senior Class’ good friend. Rehold! The Latin scholar of the modern age. Her dignity excels that of the old Romans themselves. Mood, tense, case, number, construction, conjugation, declension!—how she knows all these still remains an unsolved mystery. Miss Howell can read his commentaries better than Caesar himself. But with all her knowledge and dignity, she still possesses some of her girlhood traits, for when did she fail to blush when confronted by a young gentleman? Girls, stop talking! No, 1 will answer no more questions. Sit down!” is heard above the buzz of study hall. Behold, our serious Miss Cudd, who never laughs, but who is always willing to help some poor student out of distress especially an Algebra flunker. l’ei feet marcelle, carefully arranged eye-brows, cameo-like profile, the very incarnation of Irene Castle—such is our dainty Miss Crank, sitting on the arm of her chair, telling some tale of Rome and Italy. Confusion of voices—utter chaos! Books falling, pupils bawling—excitement reigns supreme! A fair young lady with firm tread marches into the room. “Now get quiet in here! Not another word!” The order is promptly obeyed, for who could disobey when that sweet light comes into Miss King’s blue eyes? Armed with her schoolroom goggles and superior knowledge, our otherwise madonna-like Miss Pope is in her seventh heaven, not only reading but living “The Lady of the Lake.” H E SCRIBBLER What ho! Is it the Crescent Limited or a speeding car? Neither. It’s Miss Nash reciting poetry. No matter what sentence we have, she finds a place for it in some piece of poetry, which she rattles off like a dog with fire-crackers tied to his tail. She holds them with her glittering eyes, The pupils all sit still; Lach listens like a three year’s child— The teacher hath her will.” Cleaning the lab. desk after some careless pupil, explaining “Avagadio’s Hypothesis, trying to make the class believe ‘‘the molecular theory,” repeating day H e: SCRIBBLER after day, “The gram-molecular weight of any gas at standard conditions occupies 22.4 liters,” and conducting a restless class has been the task of Mrs. Erwin in Room 308. “A Fifth Avenue Model”—“that school-girl complexion,” a brown fur coat, a green felt hat pulled becomingly over her eyes—such is Miss DePass, who between nine and two imparts words of wisdom to English students in Room 212. I stood in front of Room 210 and peeped in. I heard a scratching noise and at a desk sat a man, writing hurriedly. He finished and stood up, putting to rights the articles on the desk. Two boys entered and walked with bowed heads. “ ’Fessor, if we promise not to ever throw calk again, will you not keep us in? We want to see the ball game.” I could not hear the reply, but I caught the expression on the boys’ faces—which was enough. ’Fessor Morgan, whose motto was “order,” had remembered his youth and—relented. Who helps the boys in the drawing and working department to solve their troubles? Who always on his face carries a half-serious expression, which may change instantly into a smile? Why, it’s ’Fessor Nicholson, of course, the man who is always willing to solve your difficulties—or listen to a good joke. “Good morning, girls! Am I late? Sit down everybody. I must have quiet! All right, now! Get out pencil and paper. Haven’t you just had gym ? I knew it! What is it, Marguerite? You have strong competition outside, so speak distinctly. Surely, that is not the bell?”—Who else but Mrs. Jenkins? Did you know Spartanburg High harbors a duchess in disguise? She works among the “people” untouched, in the clouds. She graces our teachers’ meetings, smiles sweetly on our professors, expounds history and sighs over our ignorance. In fact, she is so superlative that words fail in describing Miss Sims. An Algebra shark, a second Helen Wills; an enthusiastic fan at all athletic games, particularly basketball; a generous person who takes teams on trips in her Hupmobile—that’s Miss Tennent. Try to slide down the bannisters or run through the corridors, and the same lady will make you understand the inappreciations of such an act. - r g SCRIBBLER.
