Spartanburg High School - Spartana Yearbook (Spartanburg, SC)

Text from Pages 1 - 132 of the 1931 volume:

Although this book is intended mainly for the entertainment of boys and girls, we hope it will not be shunned by men and women on that account. for part of the plan has been to remind adults of what they once were themselves, and of how they felt and thought and talked, and of what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in.— Adapted from the Preface to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Published by the SENIOR CLASS of the SPARTANBURG HIGH SCHOOL SPARTANBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA •AND 4 WMITC, Ml IANHIJHO. «. C. � —T“f rr-t-r-Y—f - -inr-inn the Scribbler .31 — ■—— — — — «’ V.- -ffi—— OttHWORD How entertainingly Mark Twain has described the incidents of his school days and of his youth'. And how happy we are that he has recounted them, weaving the humorous with the serious, combining details of work with those of play, tinging all with the sympathetic views of a lover of boyhood. Now we are attempting to record the glorious deeds of our high school career. In the dim future it may be that we shall look back on these halcyon days of our youth; and perhaps we shall smile, perhaps shed a tear. It is for the purpose of keeping alive for you these memories that we design this, the thirteenth volume of ‘THE SCRIBBLER” 2 1 -f1 � r rvrTnr -fTrt-rTTT-T the (JCRIBBJ-ER 3l PHD CAT OH W. D. Howells, in his book, “My Mark Twain. speaks of his hero as one with the heart of a youth and the head of a sage. We feel that this might be just as fittingly said of our friend and teacher, Miss Julia Brice. That she has the heart of a youth is evident, for she loves and understands young people; that she has the head of a sage is undeniable, for with wisdom she directs us in our intellectual pursuits. To her we lovingly dedicate this volume of “THE SCRIBBLER” 3 Scribbler W31 COHT3MT2 THE SCHOOL THE CLASSES ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS SPECIAL FEATURES ADVERTISEMENTS ZCHOOL “Knowledge is worth more than anything there is in the world; it's what makes great men and good men.” —The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. 5 tS SCRIBBLER § ALMA MATER [ l t'fI II Ml H !■[' stands ow Alma Majer, Loved Ly Laris as pure as ioU. earls dear Alma Majer.

When they came to recite their lessons, not one of them knew his verses perfectly, but had to be prompted all along” —The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. 13 Senior Class Poem Another class turned out into the world To lose itself in life’s swift-flowing tide, Into the futile battle lightly hurled As others that long since have fought and died? And are we but a fragment of the whole. As weightless as the lightest winds that blow, Like runners that may never reach their goal ? Let none say we were made to live with woe! We are the future of our native land, Material for citizens to be; In us is born the will to understand, In us reborn the splendor of the free. And we are little streams to feed the flood, The rushing river of a conquering race; We in her body are the warm life blood To lead her on to honor or disgrace. And we shall go as rivers to the sea, To win the world anew in our fair day; Our youth will make democracy more free, And all will listen to the things we say. Then, if we conquer and may be content, Another youth will come to hold our place, To take the field when our fresh strength is spent— New runners to relay the splendid race. As we withdraw to age’s sheltered quiet, And watch the endless race once more begun, Then may we find a refuge from the riot, And comfort in the thought of work well done. —Mac Matthews. 14 ——O—v—¥——n—fTTT r •we PCRlBBtER § 3 Senior Class Officers Presiden t...................C111 lds V est mor ELa n d Vice-President................Elizabeth Lyles Secretary..........Elisabeth Jkn ni ngs Treasurer..................Hubert Nash 15 BENNIE ALLEN Dominant Trait—Cheerfulness.

Tom Sawyer, tiring of the dreary drudgery of school, was forced to seek adventure by playing with his gang as a bad, bold pirate. However, we, the departing Seniors, have found our life at Spartan High very similar to the hazardous and exciting existence of a pirate. Adven tures have terrorized and all but paralyzed our timid hearts, but we acknowledge that we have enjoyed them and have spent four interesting and profitable years under this reign of terror. One bright September day of '27, after seven years of peaceful sailing on the blue sea of Knowledge, a pirate ship suddenly bore down upon us! So captivating, powerful, and tenacious was this new encounter that it did not take long for us to realize that recalcitration and opposition on our part would do more harm than g x)d. So, meek and very submissive, we found ourselves climbing upon the deck to begin a voyage which was to last for four long years. Instead of the symbolical skull and cross-bones that is usually wafted with vengeful horror on a pirate ship, our amazed group, clambering over the sides, beheld on the top-most mast, scrawled in blazing letters, S. H. S. To our utter amazement, flying above this gory sign, kissed by the tropical zephyrs, floated Old Glory! What sort of a pirate ship was this that dared to display the Stars and Stripes? Along with many other prognostics were curious, foreign, geometrical ensigns and the symbolic French rooster. On being hurried into the ship, we noticed in a cabin sunk low in the hull, the dreaded emblem—S. P. Q. R.—which became very familiar to some of us during our stay. About the walls of this cabin was a row of amazing busts and statues which for many days was a great source of curiosity to us. The same day, at the ringing of a bell, we were called up on deck to be inspected by Captain Lowry and his pirates! We found ourselves facing a ferocious-looking crew! From the first, the members of this cruel gang (so-called teachers) filled our hearts with an indescribable terror. True enough, they have stood over us with a stinging lash, and where it has struck, it has left its unmistakable imprint—a red circle. Often the sea was rough, and we have been compelled to work many hours overtime, but now that we are nearing that which for most of us means the end of a struggle, and for others a lasting separation of close friendships, we realize that for all their seeming faults, we have grown to love Captain Lowry and his blood-thirsty gang. As we look back over the years, we see not the ruthless impression of a cruel lash, but the kind and persevering hearts of true companions and friends. During our first year as galley slaves, we worked hard and had many interesting adventures. A strange bird swooped down upon our deck, and we were allowed to stop our labor for a few hours to see the celebrated Lindbergh! After this, many of us had new ambitions—to become aviators and fly far away. In the closing months, an enemy basketball team played ours for the championship of the 52 South Seas, and we were victorious. As a result, our worthy team was allowed to go to Chicago; this was a marvelous treat, and won considerable fame for our ship! The next year our work was increased, but we were learning to love our galley, even though we were only slaves. This year a new member was added to our crew—Captain Lowry’s lovely little daughter. At the close of another year's labor, our Glee Club gave an operetta, “Lelawala,” which brought fame to us as actors. As we saw some of our fellow-workers leaving, we were reminded that some day we, too, would be freed. By our |unior year we were used to the hard battle of living on a pirate ship. Many important events made our existence more interesting. An orchestra, directed by Fiery Dobson, our musical chief, was organized, and we were all very proud of its accomplishments. Our cagers again brought glory to S. IT. S. by winning the State Championship. In June the departing slaves gave a famous Shakespearean production, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Instead of the usual lengthy speech at Commencement, there was a debate given on Capital Punishment.” The only unhappy event of this year was the departure of the beloved pirate instructor, “Traffic Cop Collins. At last we have sight of our native land and can faintly discern freedom in the form of a diploma. This year we are treated with more respect and are given the title. “Seniors.” We have with us a new terror, “Scar-face Willie.” whom we all have learned to love. For years we have been trying to overcome the powerful Indian Tribe of Gaffney, which has been a dreaded foe to us for so long. This time we forced them into submission and won the State Football Championship for the first time in eight years. The Blake Literary Society was organized, and everyone was glad to participate in its interesting work. This year our fierce cagers swept through to the South Atlantic League Championship. More honors for our team and ship! We had a hard struggle for an Annual, but everyone was so determined to have it that we finally succeeded. Our dramatics have been well organized throughout the year, and we feel this is something to be proud of. We chose as class officers very capable Seniors: President, Childs Westmoreland; Vice- President, Elizabeth Lyles; Secretary, Elizabeth Jennings; Treasurer, Hubert Nash. Those selected to represent the class in the Commencement debate were: Catherine Price. Childs Westmoreland, Billy Ball, and Helen Chapman. The scorching tropical sun has set at last. and. as the full moon is rising in the east and the cool zephyrs are filling our sails, dimly we see in the distance the lights of the shores of home. Joy fills our hearts at the thought of forever ending such a hazardous voyage, but sorrow overcomes the joy when we realize the dear friendships which must be severed forever. Our hearts will ever harbor the memories of our pirate voyage with Captain Lowry and his ferocious crew, and will ever hold dear the memories of the days at S. H. S. Tomorrow there will be other adventures in strange waters. Elisabeth Jennings. Billy Ball. 53 Senior Class Prophecy Spartanburg, S. C., 1945 A. I). AR back in the year 1931, some of the boys at the Spartanburg High School became interested in a book—The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The ambitions and aspirations of the heroes appealed especially to Jack Anderson, Marion Bennett, Herschel Smith, and Billy Ball. These boys decided that they, too. would like to be bold pirates. And now in the year 1945, we find ourselves in a greatly changed Spartanburg—a Chicago of the South. These four boys have carried out their youthful ambitions, in having become modern pirates, or rather gangsters, who hold sway in the city. Ben Hill Brown, Jr., the Mayor, and Chief-of-Police Albert Vermont, have almost lost their minds trying to control this unruly group. Just the other evening I had a taste of the wild night-life of the city at a cabaret, operated by Burton Hicks and his wife, Dorothy Humbert. The hat girls, Sara Ligon, Elizabeth Turner, and Myrle Templeton, were kept busy by the large crowds that were entering. Among those present, we noticed Moffitt Cecil, a prominent banker, and his bride-elect. Miriam Pettit; William C. Herbert, shipbuilder; Mac Little, principal of the High School; Genevieve Williams, interior decorator; Jervey DuPre, editor of College Humor, with Lois West, divorcee of Robert Hudson, a distinguished artist ; Lemuel Fike, florist; and Lois Pollock, society editor of the Herald. Dwight Smith was sitting at one table, telling Mary Wallace how to remove her freckles. Also present were Harry Clay, famous orator, and Miriam Reeves, his fiancee; Conrad Cleveland, bird cage manufacturer, who was standing in a corner with Elizabeth Nolan, South Carolina's representative at the Atlantic City beauty contest; John Harrison, long distance flyer; Wesley McCravy, State highway patrolman; Charles and Wade Holland, recently elected President and Vice- President, respectively, of the Old Dutch Cleanser Corporation ; Bennie Allen, radio announcer; Mac Matthews, author of the new book, “One Thousand and One Poems” ; Ogilvra Buchanan, football coach; Murray Jones, beauty specialist; “B Lyles, hair tonic manufacturer; Mary Page, wife of Paul McMillan, proprietor of the local miniature golf course; Winnie Thomas, owner of a hot dog stand ; Dolly Gilbert. opera singer; Juanita Gregory, school teacher; Nelle Hicks, the second Helen Wills; Thelma Hill, movie actress; Evelyn Hogan, noted author; Margaret Kennedy, sandwich maker: Rebecca Parris, dress designer; Annie Louise Shuler, the circus rider; Grace and Margaret Smith, cough drop manufacturers; Sara Turner, beauty-sleep expert; Ixniise Wilson, actress; and Alice Fletcher and Elizal eth Nesbitt, beauty parlor operators. The guests stood up at the entrance of the Governor of the State, Alvin Park, accompanied by Mrs. Park (nee Virginia Barnwell) and also Senator Otis Norcross and his fiancee. Emogean Guthrie. The orchestra, led by Grayson Poats, was playing a new song bit by Carlos Moseley and Marvin Brannon. The orchestra was composed of Ben Boyd, pianist; DeLacy Lawton, George Trakas, and Ed Minus, saxophonists; Ruth Smith, Lewie Hunter, Wardlaw Hammond, and Mary Louise White, trumpeters; Betty DuPre, drum beater; and Frank C K)ke, banjo picker. For the first event of the evening, the chorus girls now filed in, one by one, led by Elisabeth Jennings, dancing the new specialty number called “The Pacolet.” As she danced into the circle, she threw a rose to Childs Westmoreland, prominent explorer, who had just finished a trip around the world on a bicycle. She was followed by a line of chorus girls—Thelma Lan-ford, Margaret McCreary, Margaret Simpson, Kathleen Stephens, Catherine Price, Sara Dun-agin, Mary Bell Pendley, Ruth Mann, Louise Cannon, Mary Dillard, Grace Donnald, Juanita 54 Elliott, Jeannette Kennett, Audrey Lancaster, Nellie Linder, Emma Malone. Annie Mae Miller, Catherine O’Shields, and Mary Manning. The program was continued by a toe dance, given by dainty Miss Annie Ruth Lenear and little Kathryn McAllister, Grace Lynch, Virginia Torian, Cecile Gentry, Gladys Lowry, and Rachel Page. Next, the guests enjoyed an act by a female tumbling company, composed of Mary Holt, Margaret McKnight, Essie Thomas, Frances Taylor. Alberta Sloan, Polly Cannon, Russell Allen, Elizabeth West. Rebecca Turner, Helen Branyon, Polly Caldwell, Vivian Clayton, and Tiny Ott. This was followed by an exhibition of the world’s foremost skaters, Nelle Page, Alice Patterson, Myrtise Poteat, Nell Reaves, Irene Riddle, Grace Phillips, Edna Walters, Catherine Wolfe, Virginia Eison, Al-lene Hines, Bertha Kelley, Dorothy Lancaster, Nelle Mabry. Kathleen McDowell, Sarah Mc-Graw, Marguerite Miller, and Dorothy Sanders. Then a few songs were rendered by a double quartette composed of Pauls Spivey, Burnett. Littlejohn, Taylor, and Elizabeths Coan, Dun-ker. Lussardi.and Harley. After this a short play, entitled “Uncle Thomas’s Mansion.” was presented by a group of famous actors and actresses—Cornelia Smith, Helen Townsend, Alma Windburn, Sara Brown, Margaret Gash, Jane Ingram, Emily Lemaster, Helen McMillan. Kathleen Milan, Bertha Motte, Simpson Hyatt, Frank Wilkie, Fred Cash, Hardin Holt. William West, Carvin Easier, and Harold Johnson. During these acts the guests were keeping busy the waitresses—Martha Sue Johnson, Al-lene Blowers, Anne Macomson, Rebecca McDowell. Virginia Montgomery, Louise Page, Marjorie Young, Roberta Long, and Edna Seaman. The whole room became silent as John Bridges, the master of ceremonies, walked into the circle and announced the next number, which was a tap dance by Margaret Lancaster, Frances Caldwell, Nell Bissell, Emily Collins, Carl Lee Bryant, Jean Hucks, Virginia Clement, Eva Blackwell, Selma Greene, Edna Holcombe, Mary Emma Lands, and Beryl Johnson. This feature was suddenly interrupted by a scream from Mrs. Helen Peck Mullikin, wife of the professor of history at Christine Dunbar’s School for Women, who had just discovered that she had lost her necklace, which had been designed by Beulah Fowler, and which she had recently purchased from the jewelry store operated by Ruby Lancaster, Ruby Griffin. Pearle Ross, Pearl Bishop, and Opal Griffin. Headwaiter Ray Tindall summoned the police. Officers Tom Moore, Cannon Page, G. C. Greene. Winfield Brown, Zack Tillotson, Fred Epting, Pierce Gault, Woodrow McIntyre, Thomas Rogers, and Rufus Smith cjuickly arrived with five detectives—John Glenn, Harold Moore. Irvin Cribb, Helen Chapman, and Pauline Gibson. The police noticed several gangsters—Ralph Foster. Ray Bishop, Talmadge Tanner, Charlie Parrott, Joe Blackwell, Edwin Burney, Frank Farr, Ralph Gossett, “Shortie” West. “Deadeye” Burtie Burts, “Scarface” Huby Nash, and “Fat” Fitzgerald—leaving the cabaret, and, hoping for a clue, followed them. Then Lena Genoble, Mrs. Mullikin’s maid, calmly walked into the room carrying the lost necklace, saying that her mistress had left it in the automobile. Thus ended a delightful evening in a cabaret in Spartanburg in 1945. Elizabeth Lyles. John Cannon. 55 Qp Tj—j v V— V——i k—r —v f v I w v r —yr i—'' V—kr K v-w r yV the Scribbler s | -3I HVf H � —— Last Will and Testament E, the class of 1931, being still in the ring, though slightly groggy, revoking all other promises scribbled off in an idle moment, do hereby bequeath to those who are lucky enough to receive them, the following : ARTICLE I (The Freshman Class) To the Freshman class we bequeath toy rubber rats, so that they may have mascots as they advance along the path of education. It is hoped that these little reminders will have an humbling influence on them for some time to come. ARTICLE II (The Sophomore Class) To the Sophomore class we bequeath the reminder that as yet they are still Sophomores and have not attained the privilege of flirting and conversing with Seniors. Speak not until spoken to. ARTICLE HI (The Junior Class) To the Junior class we bequeath the privilege of participating in compulsory literary society. ARTICLE IV (The Whole School) The class of 1931 cheerfully bequeaths its athletic prowess to any class able to match or excel its record in the future. ARTICLE V (The Faculty) We bequeath any misconduct or unpleasantness for which we may be responsible to the kind forgetfulness of Dr. Evans, Mr. Jenkins, and the faculty. ARTICLE VI (Personals) 1. To Elizabeth Jenkins, our mascot, we leave only our affection, feeling that we can add nothing to her supply of gifts and charms. 2. To Miss Rudd and Professor Blake we leave the suggestion that they equip their desks with soda fountains to keep awake students who would otherwise sleep while the sober members of the class are performing experiments. 3. Frank Cooke leaves his tendency to play marbles to Jim Ferguson, with the hope that it will help him in his athletic training. 4. Lib” Jennings tearfully bequeaths her last stick of chewing-gum to Shirley Jennings, hoping that she will not disgrace the family by doing it an injustice. 5. To Mr. Wilson we leave a small—oh. so small—bottle of the milk of human kindness to mix with his usual diet of raw meat, in the hope of tempering his ferocious outbreaks. 6. The writers of this masterpiece leave to those who think it is not so hot the polite suggestion that they try to write one. ARTICLE VII (Even more personal) Things which we deem it best not to bequeath : 1. Jack Anderson’s tendency not to work, move about, or otherwise exert himself. 2. Lib” Lyles’s ability to study her lessons in Latin class. 3. Carlos Moseley’s overwhelming enthusiasm for Scribbler work. 4. Mary Louise White’s dignity; we believe there is too little of this precious commodity in the present Senior class to throw it around thoughtlessly. 5. We deem it best not to bequeath the intellectual attainments, good looks, and physical well-being of this class to any other, believing that such laurels, to be appreciated, must be WON. In witness whereof, we, Class of 1931, have to this, our Will, set our hands and seal, on this fifth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one.

Mr. S. W. Nicholson is advisor in this work, and makes it very pleasant for all the hoys who take the course. At the first of the year, each boy is assigned a work bench with a variety of hand tools. Along with these hand tools, the Manual Training room is equipped with the most up-to-date machinery, consisting of a surfacer, jointer, lathe, hand saw, variety saw. and a miter saw. The hoys have the privilege of using this machinery, and with it they can make many useful projects. They may sell these projects at a profit, or they may pay for the materials required in making them and keep them for their own use. In Manual Training, as in any other course, you have to start with fundamentals. At first, the assignments are very simple, hut as the hoys swing into the work, they begin choosing their own projects and enjoy making things that are really worth-while. A few of these articles are: Cedar chests, wardrobes, floor lamps, writing desks, tables, beds, smoking stands, footstools. row boats, and many others that have not been mentioned. Besides teaching the boys how to make these various projects, the experience is a great help to them in many other ways. It gives them something at which to aim. It forms in their minds the correct habits of thinking, develops their judgment, and has a great disciplinary value. Then, too, it gives them a variety of experiences with various tools and materials. No one can really understand the value of this department until he or she has observed or seen some of the work that the hoys have completed. Many of the best projects will he put on exhibit at the County Fair this fall. 67 nnmnnf-� T the' gCRIBBLER £ riirv-Tnr-Tnnf the Scribbler 3i A.THL3TICZ “I can lick you ! “I'd like to see you try it. “Well, I can do it.’’ “No you can’t, either. “Yes can. “No you can't. “I can. “You can’t. “Can!” “Can't! —The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. —n—rnnrr-v- THE SCRIBBLER 1 31 Mr. Dobson C oach FOOTBALL FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Spartanburg.... 46; Cowpens 0 Spartanburg 13; Asheville 12 Spartanburg 38; Greer 6 Spartanburg 41; Parker 0 Spartanburg 32; Anderson 6 Spartanburg . 24; Greensboro 6 Spartanburg .... 33 ; Greenville 0 Spartanburg 13; G.

R. Dobson, came through the 1930 season with flying colors. The season’s record was nine wins against one defeat. The Spartans piled up a grand total of 266 points to 49 for their opponents. Among the Spartans’ victims were both Gaffney and Greenville. This was the first year in a long time that Spartanburg has defeated both of her most spirited rivals. The only defeat came at the hands of the strong Georgia Military Academy, of Atlanta. Ga. This is a fine record, and something the boys have to be proud of. Murray Jones, who was Captain of the 1930 team, played consistent ball throughout the whole season. Murray has played for three years, and his shoes will be hard to fill next year. J. C. Hall, Captain-elect for the 1931 team, proved to be a hard-hitting end, and it was always difficult for the opposing team to keep him out of their plays. “Wild Man” Tinsley held down the other end of the line and was in there scrapping every minute. Johnny Bridges filled “Big Joe” Johnson’s shoes so tightly that they squeaked. Johnny finishes this year, hut he won’t be forgotten by any of his teammates. “Dooley” Mullikin held down “Salty” Bennett’s post with much ease. “Pete” Terry, a newcomer from Georgia, played jam-up ball at guard. Pete was power when it came to running interference. Dan Johnson, although weighing only 135 pounds, held his own at center and always gave those big boys a fit. Dan is better known as “Worm.” Charlie Burns, reserve center, also showed up well when calk'd upon. Joe Cox gave promise of being a regular guard, but injuries prevented. Harold Moore was always ready for action when Coach Dobson was in need of a good end. Jim Ferguson, known among the football boys as the “Blind Lizard,” called signals with much ease. Jim can also stick a boot to a ball. Ask those Anderson boys, if you don’t believe it. “Ollie” Anderson could always be depended upon. He’s as cool as the insides of an electric frigidaire (when he’s playing football). “Bru” can sling a pass as well as block a man. Cole Moss was a hard worker and played heads-up football the entire season. I guess Cole will never forget beating Gaffney, for he married a Gaffney cheer-leader. Hul ert Nash was trailed by “ole man jinx’’ most of the season. Huby had a bad knee, but he recuperated in time to enjoy beating Gaffney. Claudie McCreadie, shifty little safely man, also had hard luck. Buster’s picture does not appear on the page because he was in the hospital when pictures were taken. Rupert Scott showed his worth as a back field ace many times during the season. Watch this boy next year. “•Buck” Buchanan was a reliable backfield man, and did his part well. And last, but not least, there was Orion McCallister, the Manager. Orion was always on the job.

First, they won the “Big Ten Championship. They defeated every team in the “Big Ten’’ twice, not dropping a single game. The “Big Ten” is composed of Greenville, Gaffney, Anderson. Hendersonville, Parker, and Spartanburg. Next they won the State Championship. Charleston, winners of the lower State, were defeated easily, 59-18. The championship game was played in our own gym, this being the first time it has been played out of Columbia. The crowd was the biggest ever to witness a basketball game played in Spartanburg. Third, the Birds won the championship of the High School Division at the South Atlantic Basketball Tournament, held at Washington and Lee University. These championships are big honors, and something the whole student body should be proud of. The team played a total of twenty-four games, winning eighteen and dropping six. The team is composed of Captain Huby Nash, Ralph Dodd. Mac Berry, Cotton” Cannon, John Muliikin, “Bru” Anderson, James Ferguson, Claudie Me-Creadie, Carroll Little, “Buck” Buchanan, and Manager Jervev DuPre. Huby Nash, who has played on the team for four years, was Captain and one of the main cogs in the Dobson machine. Hubv is fast and can. handle that ball. He’ll make some college a good man. Ralph Dodd, playing his first year for High School, was in there every minute, and gave everything he had to the game. Ralph is one of the best shots at the basket in the State, and will give any guard a run for his money. Mac Berry, who towers into the air over six feet, played good ball throughout the entire season. Mac showed his worth as a basketball player in the tournament at W. L. He's a sure bet for next year's team. “Bru” Anderson played a great game at guard, and was one of the main cogs in the Crimson Birds’ offense. Anderson also will be back next year. Claudie McCreadie, forward, proved to be a good shot, as well as a good ball handler, and was given plenty of action during the season. Jim Ferguson, big blonde center, but who was switched to guard at the last of the season, was hard to get away from. “Ferg” made the all-tournament team at Washington and Lee. Nice going, “Country!” John Muliikin was one of the hardest workers that Coach Dobson had on his team. You can bet on Johnnie to put everything he has into the contest, no matter what it is. Carroll Little was always ready, and proved to be a great help to the team as a reserve man. “Cotton” Cannon was the sheik of the ball club, but could always be depended upon when needed. “Buck” Buchanan had a weakness for taking long shots at critical times, but outside of this he was a very valuable man. Jervey DuPre acted as Manager and kept the boys in a good humor with his wisecracks. _ “B” Basketball Team “B” Basketball Coach Gilbert Cox and his “B” Team aspirants enjoyed a very successful season in the basketball racket. Coach Cox drilled his boys for two or three weeks on nothing but fundamentals. After practicing for several weeks, he had moulded together a strong quintet. They made a good record, winning ten games while dropping four. Many of the boys showed much improvement during the season and gave promise of being on the varsity squad next year. The “B” Team played most of its games preliminary to the varsity games. Some of their games were on a par with the regular High School contests. The “B” Team is for the purpose of building material for the varsity. Coach Dobson started the B-’ Team when he became connected with the school. Great results have followed, and most of the boys that are now on the varsity have either played on the “B” Team or 110-lb. team. Coach Cox has a 110-lb. team also. This team is for the smaller boys of the school that are not quite large enough and haven’t had enough experience to take a shot in the higher sport circles. The following boys are the ones that are expected to help out on the varsity next year: Walker Cothran Cannon Tinsley Hendley Amick 78 J. C. HALL 'PETE” TINSLEY JOHN MULLIKIN JOHN BRIDGES MURRAY JONES PETE TERRY DAN JOHNSON HAROLD MOORE WEARERS OF JOE COX RALPH DODD WILLIAM ANDERSON JAMES FERGUSON HUBERT NASH BLOCK “S” CLAUDIE McCREADIE RUPERT SCOTT “BUCK” BUCHANAN oren McAllister joe joyner JERVEY DuPRE MAC” BERRY DWIGHT SMITH Girls’ Basketball About one hundred and fifty girls reported to Miss Rudd to try out for their class teams. After they had practiced hard for several weeks, the teams for each grade were picked. The teams played a round-robin schedule, each team meeting every other team twice. The Juniors, led by Captain Jennie Hendrix, defeated all competition in the play-off for the school championship, and were therefore crowned “The Champs.” Along with Jennie Hendrix were her teammates: Nancy Dickerson, Undine Tolbert. Lorene Hyatt, Virginia Willis, Marjorie Wall, Lois Camp, Irene Neal, and Verna Biershenk. This team showed the result of much practicing by not dropping a single game in the entire play-off. Each girl could handle the ball with much skill, and, as a whole, the team was very fast. The lowly Freshmen, or “Rats,” although lacking in height and size, fought hard, but could not handle their larger and much more experienced foes. These girls showed much improvement during the season, and will be hard to beat next year. 11 The haughty” Sophomores had next to the best team in school. They were conquerors of both the Freshman and Senior teams. All the girls played together last year, and therefore added much strength to the team. The “dignified” Seniors couldn’t take “time out” long enough from their heavy courting to get in a good practice, so their team was not as strong as it should have been. After getting organized, they improved much in their play. Good sportsmanship was shown by all girls participating in the games. Miss Miloreo Rudd Coach TEAMS Eighth Grade Mable Burris.

Each class, just as in basketball, had a team. The Freshmen and the Sophomore teams were to play each other, while the Juniors were scheduled to hook up with the Seniors. The Sophs and Juniors were victorious and met to decide the school championship. Interest ran high, and the game proved to be very exciting. The two teams were al out evenly matched. The Juniors, however, held the edge, and were therefore champions in both volleyball and basketball tournaments. TEAMS F reshmen Beulah Hemplcy.

February twentieth eight-thirty High School .Auditorium In the presence of a socially distinguished company, which filled Spartan High School auditorium last night at eight l ells. Miss Johnnie Chrysanthemum Mullikin became the bride of Peter Terry, noted young football star and owner of a local “jowl shooting salon.” The school auditorium was elaborately decorated for the ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. Burtie Burts. The “stately altar ’ was simply hut impressively adorned with lighted candles appropriate for the occasion, while on either side banks of seasonable blos-sems were entwined with pink rosebuds. Promptly at half-after eight. “1 11 Promise Anything” (until after the ceremony) was rendered by a prominent and promising quartet. composed of Messrs. Hammond. Landrum, Hudgens, and Wallace. At the first chords of Wagner’s Wedding March, the bride’s attendants. Misses John-nita Bridges, Pet-rica Tinsley, Gillie Buchanan. Jersey DuPre, Caroline Little. Charlotte Burns, and Nealie Hobbs, entered c.n the arms of the groomsmen, the Messrs. Claudie McCreadie. Dan Johnson. Hugh Collins. Orion McAllister, Harold Moore, and Dwight Smith. These were followed by the precious little ring bearer, Hubie Nash, who wore a little “Lord Fauntleroy” suit. Next in line was Mrs. Murray Jones Mullikin. the hands me and sophisticated mother of the bride. She wore a black beaded dress, and wept softly all during the ceremony. She was followed by the flower girls. “Jane” Ferguson and “Daisy” Hall, who wore dainty, girlish organdies. The groom, Peter Terry, then entered from a side-entrance with his best man. Rupert Scott. Finally, the bride came mincing down the aisle, arrayed in a white satin evening gown which fitted snugly across the hips. The groom eyed her wistfully as they clasped hands. They were dubbed man and wife. Then the whole wedding party sang “Oh. Bud, Bud; oh. Bud” and the S. H. S. Alma Mater. The couple immediately left for French. English, and Latin classes. thi—v-T w— —v—r the Scribbler •%—f—►—y—1 I—t 1 ) —� —y—YfiVt'rt— — mnnnrnr 3f vr ■fS 95 So endeth this chronicle.
