. . . 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!
