C. Foreword Some of our richest experiences through the years have come to us from the realms of gold peopled with imaginary characters. Some of our highest ideals and motives have found their source in some noble person in literature. In our reading we have enjoyed many happy moments; during the four years here we have shared with each other even happier experiences. Ages after, we turn with pleasure to the written accounts of real and imaginary events. In after years, also, with a similar pleasure, we shall open this booh and in its pages relive in our memory precious days.

He sees the silent question in her eyes That, troubled, through his joyous soul explore. His thoughts are on those four long years he toiled; A sudden moisture glistens, contraband— A new-born strength fills him; then, sadness foiled. He quickly goes where leads her beckoning hand. A high school senior, life spread at his feet, Must choose, and wisely—wisely he has chosen. Guided by his past experience, he will meet Each new obstacle, his strong self opposing. Will we, like him, discern our life a whole, Push on until we reach the highest goal? —DORIS GODWIN Senior Class Poet. Forty-Four Yesterday and yesterday and yesterday Crept in this petty pace from day to day, To this last syllable of recorded time. And all our labors have but lighted us The way to graduation. Hut on, brief history! This class is but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets its hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It has its entrance and its exit, And one pupil in his time plays many parts, His acts being four ages. At first, the freshman. Frightened and trembling in new surroundings. Then the haughty Soph’more. with his assurance And shining morning face as he struts his way Importantly to school. And then the Junior, Sighing like a furnace, with a woeful terror Of first-year French. Then the Senior, Full of false dignity, important as a Prof., Adept at bluffing, quick and sudden in cramming. At last at graduation, receiving upon the platform His diploma of fair, smooth parchment from the Superintendent. — (With Many Thanks to Bill.) Forty-Five And this, dear reader, is what any senior class goes through with. But the class of ’35 is different. For the first two years, nothing particularly unusual happened save the usual round of exams, football, basket hull, and exams. A hint of what would happen later was given in the junior year when members of the school took time off from study to don grease-paint and Indian garments and help in the operetta “Lelawala.” Then, just a the junior class was preparing to store up dignity over the summer so that they could be the kind of seniors that seniors are popularly supposed to be, another surprise came. Dr. Evans resigned after thirty-nine successful years as superintendent of the city schools. Goodness! what upheaval took place! Though extremely sorry to give up Dr. Evans, everyone was glad Mr. Jenkins was to have the position in his stead, but who could take Mr. Jenkins' place? t first, the students were a bit worrie l for fear some out -ider, who didn’t begin to understand the school, would be installed. No such bad luck, however. The High School leaned back with a sigh of contentment as Mr. Wilson became principal. I here was some regret, though, for the ambition of most lower-grade pupils was “to have Mr. Wilson for English.” The last year of the class of ’35 was filled so full of activity and changes that the seniors were dizzier even than usual. Assembly programs were instituted, in which educational entertainments were planned for the whole school. Then, there were special programs for the junior and senior groups. Fast on the heels of one another came the Dramatic Club, for those who might have a suspicion of histrionic talent, and next the Choral Society for all the musically-inclined pupils of the High School. At Thanksgiving, under the capable direction of Miss Lillian Caldwell. the Dramatic Club presented for the senior assembly “Sojourners,” a play about the Pilgrims in Holland before they came to America. Just before being dismissed for the Christmas holidays, the entire school was instructed to march into the gymnasium. Upon entering the said gymnasium, the students feared someone had made a blunder. They found themselves, much to their amazement, in a cathedral of the Middle Ages, with it stained glass windows, the beautiful altar decorated with flowers and lighted candles, the aisles, seats, and railings. Soon the realization dawned that this convincing transformation was the clever work of the Christmas decoration committee. Every detail was perfect. There was even a surpliced choir (the Choral Society disguised in sheets) and the accomplished choir-leader (Mrs. Frank Crews). The next organization introduced was the Beta Club. This club was for the benefit of all good little junior and senior boys and girls whose marks averaged 90 and over. Much to our regret. Miss Mildred Rudd resigned her position as the girls’ gym-teacher. Miss Landru, who succeeded her. was so efficient and likeable an instructor that she soon became “one of us.” Around April and May, activities began to shoot up like the flowers that bloom in the spring (tra-la!). The Princeton Glee Club entertained us with harmonious selections. The performance of this group was of particular interest for the High School, as Mr. Jenkins once attended Princeton. Then there was the production of “Macbeth.” wherein several students of the eleventh grade had the honor of playing as “extras.” This was, by the wav, considered one of the best interpretations of Shakespeare ever given in Spartanburg. The Choral Society next treated us to a tuneful spring festival. It was the story of May, the Maiden, enacted in an enchanting flower garden, nee the gymnasium, with the girls of chorus as budding flora, in various colored organdies, and the boys a themselves in white linen. At this time, though, we were deeply grieved to lose Mrs. Frank Evans, who had endeared herself to the whole school. Those of us who have had her for Latin feel the loss especially, for no one will ever be able to take her place, and make the study of Cicero and Vergil as alive and interesting in the same way. Through all the years that she taught, she always worked unselfishly and understanding!)’ w.th her classes. She had helped with costuming and decorating in the Christmas program, and a great part of the success was due to her accuracy for details and creating atmosphere. I p to the last, she carried on bravely. Despite recent illness, she was putting herself energetically into the production of a Latin play for the senior assembly. We who knew her well will always love and remember her, and the vivid way in which she made Latin seem alive, and Rome a real city for us. I hen came the end and the goa1 of our four years’ long struggle graduation and the coveted diploma. JOSEPHINE MYERS LEWIS PERRIN. Forty-Six Senior Class Prophecy Let us turn the pages of the book of time to June, 1950. It so happens that we find on this page a description of a meeting of the Wilson Literary Society, entertaining the 1935 graduates of the Spartanburg High School at the Duncan Park amphitheatre. This open-air auditorium had been recently completed with the financial aid of several of the former students, Robert Kirtley, Ivy Cromer. Howard Khinehart, Dick Hardy, and Terry Bost. Robert had made his money by operating one of the largest farms in the South; Dick Hardy, handling much of his produce, had made a fortune with his chain groceries. The contractor, John Lohm, had as his assistants Marion Watterson. Pierce Alley, L. D. Weathers, and irginia Smith. Dr. Pinckney Irwin, professor of German at Sewanee, presided in the absence of the president, Joel Cannon, who could not possibly leave his important duties as head of the C.C.C. in Washington. Joel was not in charge of the tree planters, but was active leader of the Cotton Cutting Committee. The first guests who arrived were Sam West, Clara Dickson, Edwin Graves, hdna Allen, and Martha McKain. This group of reporters came early so that they could thoroughly examine the exhibits. Work in various lines of endeavor on the part of the 1935 graduates had been arranged on separate tables. On the first was a notable collection of books which bore many familiar names: idventures- in Scribbling, by Josephine Myers; The Golden-Haired Sleepwalker, by Ethel Pickens; Extra Credit, by Lewis Perrin; From the Ground I p. by James Patch; The Keydet, by Frances Hackett, and A Frog's Life, by “Tody” Dickerson. One of the latest issues of Fortune was also on that table. The circulation editor was Joe Everett; the editorial writer, Isabel Peterson; and the advertising manager, Rosa Lee Hydrick. Gary Culbertson, a well-known humorist, had an article in this issue. It is worth noting here that Josephine Myers’ book was awarded the Pulitzer prize in 1946. On the next table was one of the most unusual and interesting collections ever seen. It was arranged by Elizabeth Westropc, Hilma Cooley, “Bunny” Vermont, and “Speedy” Epting. These four had gathered together the rarest bugs in the w'orld. On this table also was found such unique things as a string from James Aiken’s first tennis racket; the rarest stuffed fish in the world, landed by Billy Lyles; a plank which had the knot-hole through which “Lanky” Caldwell watched his first baseball game; first golden curls from each of the heads of Ruth YeHaun, Nancy Minus, and Dorothy Martin; and a piece of Doris Savage’s first mud pie. (Doris now owns a number of first-class bakeries managed by Sam and Margaret Thornton, Grace Cribb, Susie Mae Reel, Jewel Griffin, and Elizabeth Griner. Next came the art display. Among the paintings were: “The Last Rose of Summer,” by Ernestine Gentry; “The Blind Eye,” by Arthur Biber: “Hunger Fighters.” by Edith Wilson, and “Skinny,” by Leola Burnett. There were also additional paintings by Thomas Turner, and I.eon and Treavor Painter. On the fourth table were products from the farms of Eugene Anthony, Nellie Sue Putnam, David Duncan, Ed Neely, and Vrhra Easier. It is interesting to note that David Duncan’s pig won the blue ribbon at last year’s county fair. Tin next group of guests to arrive included the Ruth Boyds, who own the Florence Shiplett Beautv Shoppe. The Misses Boyd bought the business soon after Miss Shiplett returned to the stage with her partner, Russell Powell. Among the famed beauticians who were with this shop were F.llie Willis, Catherine Blanton, Pauline Stacy, Frances Thomas. Euna Mae Brady, and Fay Chapman. These jeune dames were escorted by Lewis Witherspoon, (.ole Jordan. Lester Cannon, DeFoix Crocker, Judson Woodruff, G. H. Pender, and Robert Tisdale. Among the regular customers at the shop were Dorothy Tinsley, Blanche Gregory, I ouise McLesky, Susie Mabrv, Ila Bell Jackson, and Clara Gossett. To entertain the early arrivals, one of the latest model television radios (invented by Joel Tanenbaum) was turned on to station WEE. The announcer was “Mike” Brownley. E. C. Burnett. Irwin Curtis Charles Cecil. Ezell Tindall, B. 11. Ginn, Fred Southers, and Darrell Laurens were presenting the play. Big Men. The voice of Alfred Bretz. noted crooner, was heard between the acts of the play. This program was sponsored by the Moore-Hair Manufacturing Company. The owners, Ernest Moore and Dorothy Hair, have as their slogan, “A Toupee for Every Head-” l , Forty-Seven Very soon the theatre was filled. Sitting near the front was Reginald Tanner, owner of the Hot Iron Foundry, with a few of his employees: Jimmie Scott, Melvin Herring, Allen Keller, Leon Watterson. Charles Holmes, and Leonard Wood. They did not seem to be a hit distracted b the coquettish actions of Elizabeth Carver, Rebecca Hastings, Eda Fae Bolt, Frances Burnett, Edna Johnson, Zemora McCarley, and Ruhama Lee, who were sitting at their left. Berkeley Hammond. Warren Bost, John Wrightson, Robert Watson, Lucille Wilson, and Adelaide Fletcher, a group of scientists, were deeply involved in a discussion of the newly-discovered inhabitants of Mars. ‘‘Denny” Hendrix, Jack Partlow, Walter Trammell, Claude Bennett, Louie Watkins, and Cecil Reid, important members of major league baseball teams, were seen examining the Duncan Park diamond. When the orchestra began to “tune up.” everyone realized that the program was about to begin. Betty Cleveland and George Hicks had agreed to combine their bands for this gala celebration. Among the players were Horace Carter, Lillian Jones, Volney Dempsey, Margaret Piep-hoff, Henry Williams, Ruth Moseley, Richard Morrison, Alex McCullough, Julia Patton, and Avis Bolderson. Above the orchestra pit was the famous “Forever Off” Chorus. In it were also some 1935 graduates: Geraldine Foster, “Peg” Finley. “Becky” Whiteside, Olivia Cudd, Sara Fitzgerald. Genell Harrill, Sarah Moore, Marguerite Anderson, and Laura Goudelock. Seated with the chorus was a noted quartet, composed of Donald Taylor, Donald Foster. John Anderson, and Fred Wyse. (This quartet has been surpassed in previous days only by the Mills Brothers.) The program was begun by the singing of the Alma Mater, after which Mayor Helen Bryant read a list of the members who were unable to attend. “Toby” Holt was traveling in Africa in company with Janies Tinsley and Johnny Pearson. Frances Jennings was busy in New York as a designer of fashions. Vivian Hawkins, Jones Hobbs, Marvin Sprouse, James Cobb, and Ethel LeMaster had been appointed by the president (at the suggestion of his close friend. Harry Harmon) to seek a more friendly relationship with Japan. Mattie Lou Edge, Meda Bishop, and Lillie Taylor were unah'e to leave their homes in Missouri because of a recent flood of the Mississippi. Joe LeMons was in the 0. C. Sublett Hospital on account of a motorcycle accident. Everyone was glad to learn, however, that Joe was only slightly hurt and was getting along all right. Expert care at the hands of Dr. Martha Guy and Dr. Dickie Branyon and the hospital's capable nurse, Hope Lee, spoke for his speedy recovery. America's foremost dance team, Doris Godwin and Shirley Black, then rendered a tap number. This was closely followed by a gymnastic circus. Most of the performers were celebrities of the “big top.” The participant were Doris Layton. Harriett Cecil, Dorothy Creech, Effie Lee O'Quinn, Temperance Epting, Mabel Culver. Edna Sims, and Pauline Wingo. At this point the program was interrupted by a heated argument between Lawyers Reid Hambrick, Laura Law, Wallace Taylor, and Amelia Torian. They were discussing whether or not Montague Grubh would be convicted of cannibalism. They were quieted only when Senator Southard intervened and expressed his opinion. Poor Montague! Ruth Whealton, who had attained a prominent post as society editor of a large newspaper, was called upon to extend congratulations to “Dickie” Greene, Roberta Hyatt. Helen Amos. Mildred Swain, and Opal Lancaster, who were going to celebrate their crystal wedding anniversaries during the coming year. It seemed very peculiar that Mary Agnes Aiken, James Brown. Mary Sellars, John Henry, and Robert Smith should come in just a Mary Vincent, Blanche Lethco, Betty Grier, and Anne Jackson were beginning to serve refreshments in memory of the high school cafeteria. The program was continued with a juggling act by Alan Yopp, Ernest Werts, James Montgomery, and I). D. Brock. This was the first of its kind in which ice cream cones were used. Next Lovelace Gunter, who had made his fortune as an expert in fashions in Hollywood, put on a display of his latest creations. Martha Arnold. Pauline Brownlee, Virginia Simmons, Jean Smith, and .Martha Caldwell looked charming under variously colored lights. After the style show a short movie was shown, co-starring Lillie Mae West and “Chess” Hudson. The projectionist was Jack Lit tell. After the feature the following advertisements were flashed on the screen: “Patronize The Little Dress Shoppe—owned by May Hallman and Helen James”; “Build a Home in the Phairey Parris Development—You won’t have to pay taxes to Collector Stacy Burnett”; “Let Billy Carlisle Plan Your House”: “Attention. Farmers, sell your cotton to George Cannon”; “If in pain, call at the office of Dr. Sue Tinsley, noted Physical Culture Expert”; and “Have you tried Harold Dill’s Pickles?” I hen with the aid of the “bouncing ball” and the orchestra, everybody joined in singing Auld Lang Syne, and the meeting wfas adjourned. BETTY GRIER JAMES COBB Last Will and Testament We. the class of 1935 of the Spartanburg High School, being informed that we are of unsound and one-tracked mind (side-tracked) and realizing that we are about to pass out (quietly?) from this temple of learning, do make, publish, and declare our Last Will and Testament : ARTICLE I 1. To Mr. Wilson, we leave our full appreciation of his patience and thoughtfulness throughout the past year. Also, we pass on to him the friendly advice that he take up this basketball game in earnest so that some day he can compete with Mr. Jenkins. 2. To every member of the facility, we leave the memory of four long years of havoc. 3. To Miss Carlisle, the suggestion that she enumerate her last-minute warnings before exams and publish them for the benefit of the entire school. 4. To Miss Ellerbe (“Alice”), the advice that in the future she satisfy more completely the popular demand for Hershe.vs.” 5. To Miss Begg and Mr. Otts, the suggestion that they hold joint after-school sessions and serve refreshments. To the Juniors: ARTICLE II 1. We leave the privilege of being the last in line in the cafeteria. 2. In addition, we leave the reminder that they are responsible during the coming year for setting the standards for the rest of the school and should use every ounce of their will power to act accordingly. To the Sophomores: ARTICLE III We suggest that they climb down off the “high horse.” since next year they will find that sophomores won’t be bossed like freshmen. To the Freshmen : ARTICLE IV We request that, when they feel inclined to torture the future generation, they keep in mind the fact that thev, too, were young and ignorant freshmen once. Personal: ARTICLE V 1. Lovelace Gunter leaves his “wardrobe” to Clarence Willard in hopes that Clar- ence may use it to the same avail that lie did. 2. Denny Hendrix passes his basketball ability on to R. L. Thomas. 3. Lillie Taylor and Grace Cribb bequeath their record of taking 100 words a minute in shorthand to Arthur Burns. Jim Miller, and Charlie Johnson, hoping that they will benefit by it. 4. Alfred Bretz. bubbling over with the effervescence of youth, turns out his inexhaustible supply of energy to Randolph Becknell. 5. To Carol Aiken. Josephine Myers leaves the task of furnishing contributions to the Scribbler in order that it may continue its publication. 0� . Jimmie Scott reluctantly leaves his “dainty” figure to Woodrow Brown. 7. Doris Godwin bequeaths to Millie Long the responsibility of keeping the school alive with “twinkling toes” and dancing classes. 8. “Chess” Hudson wills his well-known “war-whoop” (possibly called a laugh) to Monte Crawford. 9. James Patch and Joel Cannon leave their magnanimous statures to Sidney Gault and Chester Hackett. 10. Ezell Tindall and Donald Foster will their incurable tendency of imitating Bing Crosby in class to Charlie Drummond. 11. Harriet Cecil donates her outstanding athletic accomplishments to the girls’ gym classes to be distributed. 12. 41) leaves its quintet of Jameses (Aiken. Brown. Cobb. Patch, and Tinsley) to any section which, in the future can acquire such an extraordinary characteristic. 13. Rosa Lee Hydrick wills her duty of collecting for the Scribbler to Sue Wells and announces that she will gladly inform Sue as to how she does it, even in these times of depression. 14. Geraldine Foster and Donald Taylor, the sensationalists in the past year’s operatic entertainment, reluctantly leave their musical reputation behind because of the uncertainty as to who will take their places. 15. It is generally suspected that Martha Arnold will not bequeath her ever-present “meekness” and inability to keep up a lively conversation to anyone, but more than likely, Elizabeth Ward will readily carry on. ARTICLE VI We do hereby appoint Tom Bookman administrator of our estate. After long years of experience. Tom knows exactly what to do with whatever is left after the class has gone. In witness whereof, we, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-five, have to this, our will, s � t our hands and seal, this tenth day of June. Anno Domini one thousand nine hundred and thirty-five.

Early in the year it was decided that there would be two assemblies, Junior and Senior, meeting on alternate Thursdays in the auditorium. One of the most beautiful of these, in fact one of the best prepared events ever presented in the high school, was given just before the Christmas vacation. Since then, there have been many others, each helping and enriching our student life in a different way.

BURNETT Manager VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM Sixty-Seven cMoore Qaijlor Varsity Jim Scott showed his leadership by bringing the 1934 squad successfully through a stormy schedule. He is a first-rate runner and a demon at defense. “Fish” Herring, a true sport and a conscientious player, proved an extremely valuable asset to the team. “Bubber” Southard, always fast on his feet, called plays in genuine football fashion. Qfolir- Bretz Russell Powell, an almost faultless player, took pleasure in handling oversized opponents. Roland Moore had “it,” if one means speed. Being of a generous nature, he threw in common sense with his running. Donald Taylor was steady throughout the season. He was a hard-hitting tackle with rare form. Toby Holt showed marked ability and skill in every game. He had a level head in all emergencies. Alfred Bretz was a terrific force in the Crimson line, blocking and tackling with a deadly precision. Sixty-Eight Varsity Jim Miller’s ability to stop plays was a matter of dire concern to bis opponents. Woodrow Brown proved a football power that few teams possess. We expect big things from him next year. Clarence Willard was a dependable player, a necessary ingredient in the squad’s force. Bob Watson—“the mighty”—wras expert in blocking punts. Darrell Laurens was an invincible runner and an outstanding asset to the team. Allen Keller, center, handled the ball with amazing skill and accuracy. He was a veteran at defense w'ork. Dan May won a place in the hearts of his fellow' students by exhibiting genuine football tendencies. Billy Carlisle wasn’t bashful when the going was rough. He was a most earnest and steady player.
