• ★ ★ the SPARTANA of Spart burg High Sch . presents 1947 at SPARTANBURG HIGH MARTHA WALLACE, Leslie McMillan, l ★ . . . the Year at SPARTANBURG FOREWORD With this publication, the name of the Spartanburg High School annual is changed from the Scribbler to the Spartana. In the course of its history the annual has undergone many changes. The first aspirations toward an annual appeared in 1923 when the final issue of the Scribbler included, in addition to its usual literary features, individual pictures of the seniors of that year and a formal dedication. It was in 1928 that the last number of the Scribbler discarded altogether its magazine character and came out boldly in the form of a true annual. From that time the literary magazine and the annual continued as two distinct publications but both carried the same name and both were the work of the same staff. In 1937, for the first time, they had two separate staffs. Now, in 1947, the Senior Class has voted to give the annual a name of its own to distinguish it from the newspaper, which has retained the name ol the old literary magazine. In preparing this book the staff has tried to catch accurately the ideals of the school and the events of the school year as they passed. We hope that you will find mirrored here personalities and events that will awaken in future years fond memories of your school associations. --------------------------------------------- the SPARTANA ALMA MATER the SPARTANA On through years of fame and glory, Shrined in memories new and old, Proudly stands our Alma Mater, Loved by hearts as pure as gold. Mingled with a true devotion, Thoughts of love shall ever be In our hearts, dear Alma Mater, As we sing our praise of thee. On through life thy spirit lingers, Guiding us where'er we be; Loyal hearts will always echo, Alma Mater, hail to thee! CHORUS May thy motto always guide us; Fac et Spera must prevail! Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Dear old Spartan High School, hail! DEDICATION We, the Senior Class of 1947, dedicate this record in pictures and words of our last year at Spartanburg High School to one who, because of injuries sustained while taking part in school activities, has not been able to share our senior privileges and honors with us. With gratitude for the inspiration that has come to us from his example of patience and courage and with warm regard and sincere good wishes, we affectionately dedicate this annual to our classmate, CHARLES SPARNELL.

The Council is composed of Homeroom Presidents who are elected by the various homerooms and Student Council Officers elected from the student body at large. To be eligible for election one must have an average of 80 or above on his subjects, and must be well rounded in all phases of school life. The President of the Council is elected by popular vote to preside over weekly meetings and assemblies. To promote teamwork, school spirit, and to encourage understanding among students are the principal aims of the Student Council. Numerous worthy activities have been sponsored by the Council this year, as the Red Cross Drive, the Tuberculosis Bangle Sale, and the March of Dimes Campaign.

The right of youth, to struggle, try, and win Will, in this age, suffice to conquer all That stands between true peace, to love akin, And prejudice that's made the mightiest fall. We accept this challenge! Take our rightful place! Assume the task that others laid aside And in our hearts true kindliness embrace. Striving onward with undaunted pride Into a future waiting to be planned— Our world to shape and ours to command. ★ 41 —CLARA A. CHILDS. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Dear Class of '47: Those caps and gowns feel a little strange, don't they? Strange, but sort of wonderful! And I'll bet it will be a long, long time before you'll forget the thrill of walking down that aisle in the gymnasium where you have watched and participated in so many high school activities, and receiving your diplomas—your passports to the new and exciting world of adulthood. You have a lot to look forward to, but, dear chillun, before we cast our dream-filled eyes too far in the future let's take a look at the past. These last three years have been pretty full, haven't they? Remember that day in the fall of '44 when we first entered into this hall of higher learning? In a week or so we'd developed our cat-eyes and didn't even have much trouble finding our way around the first floor, and by the time football season rolled around we were out at Duncan Park cheering Coach Dobson's Crimson Tide on, like veterans. Led in the attack by Captain Gene Carson and assisted by Co-Captain Ralph Fine, both of whom represented SHS in the annual Shrine Bowl classic, the Tiders tasted defeat only once but were deprived of decisive victory by a 12-12 deadlock with the big rival, Greenville. Christmas left us in a better frame of mind for the spring—and, of course, basketball! Didn't we have fun crowding in the gym to watch Sewell and Berry vie for top scoring honors, to see those twin hurricanes, Box and Coleman, race down the court, to bite our nails as Fagan and Kennedy outwitted the foe with tricky footwork, and to cheer our favorite, O. W. Shirley, as he romped away with the ball? By far the most exciting game was the second bout with the above-mentioned big enemy Greenville when our fast-moving quint squeezed a 30-28 victory in an extra three minutes of play. The rest of the year was far from dull. The Dramatic Club got in a very giddy mood and presented Tish. We got our musical inspiration from the annual spring concert presented by the combined orchestra, band and chorus. ★ 42 ★ Naturally we couldn't leave '45 without mentioning Red Dobson's Gym Circus. Hey, Seniors, did you ever stop to think that we were the last class that got to work with a grand guy and a grand little show? So we sobbed the senior class away with Auld Lang Syne and advanced as great juniors to the second floor, assuming a high-and-mighty attitude toward the incoming freshman class. (Isn't it funny that when we were in the ninth grade we were sophomores?) Well, we whizzed through an undefeated football season, stomping Greenville with the flashy runs of Hank Tezza and George Bobo, and t i e i n g Gaffney on Thanksgiving. Jimmy Jones captained , assisted by Jimmie Patterson. Clay Cathey and James Calvert fought vainly for S. C. in the Shrine Bowl game. Mr. Cox showed what good coaches are made of in his first season as full-fledged athletic director. After a slow start our basketball boys got in the swing of things and we saw some hard fighting on the hardwoods. The Calvert brothers, little Bubba Fleming and lanky Noah Hendricks, and tricky Jimmie Patterson really gave us the thrills. ★ The Dramatic Club went all out and produced two tear-jerkers-with-happy-endings, Abie's Irish Rose and The Little Minister. The Gym Circus had its usual daring tumblers and hilarious clowns, but there had been some changes made. Instead of the deep voice of the cider jug by which we recognized Red Dobson's novelty band, we heard the hot licks of Bobby Hughey's trumpet. Another graduation and a new senior class—hey! That was us! We'd reached the height of our ambition— three stories up with individual lockers! With Turnage and Calvert (like Blanchard and Davis) in the backfield, the Tide rolled on again. The heart-breaker of the season was the 7-6 loss to—guess who? Greenville!! After the regular season Co-Captains Brown and Harley trekked off to Charlotte to assist South Carolina defeat North Carolina in a thrilling Shrine Bowl tilt. But why tell you about '47? Here's a whole book full of memories of your senior year. So, as Macbeth said, Read on, Macduff! Well, maybe that isn't exactly what he said but you get the idea. Sincerely, PAT FAIN. ★ 43 LAST WILL and TESTAMENT PREAMBLE We, the members of the graduating class of one thousand, nine hundred, forty-seven, being competent, consistent, capable, confident, careful, chaotic, callous, cadaverous, calumnious, cantankerous, capricious, chimerical, cellular, and conscious of future responsibilities, do hereby make this Last Will and Testament: SECTION I 1. To Mrs. Ligon we bequeath an empty B. C. package to remind her of the many meetings, plays, games, and various other programs engaged in during our reign as seniors. 2. To Mr. Humphries we leave a long, heavy chain for all those keys so that he won't be constantly leaving them in such unearthly places. 3.

To Mrs. Minus we give our favorite set of walkie-talkies to get all the teachers to send in their attendance reports. 5.

Smith leaves John Tillotson to Miss Rudd to serve in future years as a Cartesian Diver. SECTION II ARTICLE I 1. To those dignified, upright citizens of S. H. S.. who now have reached that time in their lives when they can speak of themselves as seniors, we leave a yo-yo. 2. To the juniors we leave nothing. 3. To the sophomores we leave the knowledge that their class will have the somewhat doubtful honor of being the first to be required to complete twelve years of public school education. 4.

WITNESSES: 1. Influence. 2. Richard (who opened (?) the door). 3. Kilroy (the patron saint of S. H. S.). ★ ★ 46 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY As BILL ABERNATHY and his able crew of JOHNNY GILES, BILLY MORROW, and ED CARROL bring our rocket ship down to a smooth landing atop the Montgomery Building, we find ourselves in dear old Spartanburg once again. The old burg is not exactly as we left it, however. It's second only to Cowpens in the whole U. S. and has done very well under the leadership of Mayor CHARLES COOKSEY and his council composed of PEDRO SANJUAN, BILLY MITCHELL, ED ANDERSON, and SAMMY BALLENGER. What happened to the large northern cities, you ask? ANN BAILEY'S cow kicked over an atomic lantern, and now there is nothing left but the sunny South. We tell the stewardess, BETTY SUE KEY, good bye, step out of the rocket, and buy a newspaper, The Spartanburg Astonisher, coedited by ANN GWATHMEY and ED SHIVER, who are backed up by a group of brilliant writers including MILDRED WYATT, LESLIE McMILLAN, CHARLOTTE LADSHAW, and RAMONA DAVIS. Looking farther for old familiar names we see a page advertising JUDY JORDAN'S gym class for henpecked wives. She has become famous because of her recent novel entitled Happy Home Life or How to Throw a Half Nelson. MARY WEBB CLEMENT is pictured as the before and after girl saying, I was an eighty-pound weakling before taking this course, but now I'm an eighty-one pound bouncer at FRED BROWN'S Steak House (not responsible for false teeth left in steaks over thirty days). On the society page we notice that Mrs. BETSY BROWN THOMAS, authority on styles, is holding a fashion show having such models as CAROLYN BAILEY, NANCY BOOTLE, NAOMI SCOTT, ILENE PAINTER, and BETTIE JEAN JEFFORDS. Turning to the sports page we are grieved to read that JACK WEAVER, high man on the + tiddledy-wink team has been forced to give up the sport due to a severe hangnail suffered in his last game. Hearing a scraping sound over the edge of the building we look below us only to come almost face to face with SIS MONROE, girl window-washer. She tells us that at the last window, that of JEROME BENNETT, JACK WILLIAMSON, and VICTOR GALLOWAY Real Estate Agency, she heard the closing of the history-making deal of selling Lawson's Fork Bridge to OSCAR SHIRLEY. Taking the elevator, we hear the elevator boy, JOHNNY ROPER, say something about BOB HARLEY'S Big Star Radio Show. After having been directed to the show and having found a seat, we hear an unusual but familiar laugh. Looking up we see that it is none other than JIMMY (ROCK) TURNAGE announcing in perfect English JOE (PEPE) LISTER, that famous groaner with muscular vocal chords. With women swooning all over the place, we notice that among the stretcher men are JOHN EARL LINDSEY, DAVID and DAN BRADLEY, and FRANK PURNELL, and after some fanning, ELAINE BOURNE is able to hold on with only a few weak sighs. Now BEN BALLENGER'S All-Girl Band plays a little number called Twenty Years Up the River or Life With Father, written by CHARLES BROWN and AMOS RAMSEY. In the band we see EVELYN RAY HARTE (and her Magic Bass Fiddle), JUNE CLOYD, PEGGY HAMMOND, and MARY ARNOLD. ★ 4 ★ The next group to entertain us are The Six Chords and a Dischord” which is a combination of HAROLD (BUCK) LONG, JOE PACE, JACK CRIBB, JOHN MOODY, GLEN GOWAN, JOE HARRIS, and MARY ANN McCALL. The rest follow in quick succession. Among them are ROBERT (RED) TURNER, still cracking jokes about teachers; impersonations by JIMMY SCRUGGS and GEORGE BOBO; TUNK ANCRUM and EVELYN CASH as the two mean little kids. While walking out of the building we witness a strange sight. TALMADGE (TOOGIE) FOSTER is in front of the door taking two steps forward and two steps backward. When we inquire as to this unusual behavior, we find that he is testing the new DuPRE-MACKENZIE electric-eye revolving door! As we stop at the street corner we witness a near-tragedy. TILLIE FOSTER is crossing the street. She suddenly dashes for the nearest lamp post as SHIRLEY DEAN, a noted taxi driver, flies past. We hop in one of CHARNER (TEENY) BRAMLETT'S cabs (we understand in these you have a fifty-fifty chance of getting out again!) and join DOROTHY JENNINGS, girl motorcycle cop, in hot pursuit of the reckless driver. Losing them in the traffic, the driver, BOBBY CULBERTSON, suggests that we tour the industrial district. As the smoke clears from the first sign we read PEYRE KENNEDY, LE ROY MORRISON, STANLEY CONVERSE — Chapman's Wood Toothpick Industries. The second sign which we see on our ride is Knitting Mills — 'TOOTSIE' OUZTS and LORETTA CLARK, owners. Back in town we pass a theatre that is showing DRUMMOND FARLEY and OLIN DODD fighting for ANN LEWIS in Who Got Hooked , a picture by M. G. M. (Many Gruesome Movies!) We become a little tired and decide to go to what was formerly Rainbow Lake, but is now a huge park. It is under the management of FRED BARTLETT and MARY STEWART. Hearing that the lifeguard is TOM PENNELL we are almost afraid to go swimming, but as soon as possible we jump and dive respectively into the water. We join BETTY MILLER, MARTHA WALLACE, and BETTY KATE JONES in watching DAVID BENNETT perform from the 50-foot board. In the lake we see ADRIENNE DAVANT and DICKIE SHORES floating around on an inner tube. Also trying to hook a ride on the tube are ANGELL WOFFORD and ANN CRAWFORD. Feeling hungry (as usual) we wander over to the peanut stand, run by ALBERT PATTERSON and BILL WATSON. We are not surprised to see NANCY ELLERBE and FRANK MOORE hanging around the juke box listening to a popular recording of a new vocalist, BARBARA McCORMICK. LEWIS BUL-LINGTON and BILLY DAVIS greet us from behind the lunch counter. They call our attention to a notice posted on the wall picturing NELLIE LOU GARRETT and JOAN BYARS, who are sponsoring the annual Dog Catchers' Ball. The President of the United Dog Catchers' Union is JAMES SMITH. As our helicopter is flying over the lake on our way back to town we see BETTY JEAN DENNIS, ANN BURNETT, and BETTY TONGE riding in a speedboat. Stopping by S. H. S. we are greeted at the door by ED WRIGHT, the principal, who after so many years has become fond of education. BARBARA RAMSAY, the secretary, gives us our permits to wander around the halls. We haven't gone far when we meet up with LOUIE BOMAR and HUGH BROWN, seniors. They tell us that their homeroom teacher is KENNETH BROWN who also teaches Spanish. In the gym we meet JACKIE CALVERT and RABBIT DON WADE. They are taking their post-post-graduate course so they can play football another year. Crossing the street outside we are almost run down by BILL CHILD riding a jet-propelled motor scooter. BILL is the town's new tennis champ. As night comes we bid a sad farewell to the city and all our friends since we have to leave early on our rocket. But in the early misty morn whom do we run across but BOBBY ALLEN, driving his milk wagon. He tells us that he is still getting notes from POLLY HILL— only this time they're in milk bottles! And so, folks, we wish all of you the best of luck and hope all your dreams come true. The time has come when we must say goodbye, too-dle-oo, au revoir, farewell, so long, see ya, auf wiedersehen, hasta luego, and the end of— —NANCY BLAKELY and ★ JACK ERGLE. ★ Juniors Nineteen Forty PRESIDENTS Jeanette Barnette Benny Bootle James Bridgeman Bennie Case Patryce Federline Dennis Hill Henry Kelly Marieta McCarley Jerry McManus Jolean Morton Lynn Parker Shirley Siddall CLASS OFFICERS VICE-PRESIDENTS Betty Jean Angel Bobby Brock Ralph Cannon Bobby Cudd Geneva Ford Bobbie Foster Peggy Foster Betty Gault Hugh Rawl Jeanne Smith Dave Steele Joe Trowell SECRETARIES Carol Burnside Betty Coates James Deal Margery Gossett Joel Griffin Fred Kirby Raeford Millwood Alfred Pruitt Wade Shipman Gene Taylor Charles Webb Peggy Wilson 48 ★ SECTIONS 3A, 3B, 3C JUNIOR SECTIONS 3D, 3E, 3F 50 SECTIONS 3G, 3H, 31 SECTIONS 3K, 3L, 3M CLASS 51 ★ Freshmen Nineteen Forty PRESIDENTS Hovey Aiken Sarah Bishop Larry Edwards Lawrence Hammitt Eugene Harvey Bobby Lamm Dan McMillan lune Robertson Winfield Sapp Enid Silver Patricia Skelton Peggy Smith loan Stillwell Bob Trail Jack Turner Lynn Walker CLASS OFFICERS VICE-PRESIDENTS Jane Allen Frances Bailey Harold Cannon James Dye Allen Fine J.
