The chief function of the Council is to unify the student body and to provide an opportunity for the students to voice ideas concerning the school's programs. The Council is composed of the presidents of the homerooms, the presidents of each of the classes, and the president of the student body. It meets once a week at a definitely appointed time. Any other meetings of Council may be called by the president or the faculty adviser. The Council's main objective is to promote and maintain a better spirit within the school. Each year it selects certain projects to work on. Assembly pro- grams, the hall director system, and the lost and found bureau, are all a part of the work of the Council.

We are about to begin with our big show that will sweep you into the past. We won't promise you anything spectacular, but we shall endeavor to bring back to you some of the greatest days of any- one's life-our years at Spartanburg High School. ACT I-SCENE I As the curtain goes up on our Iirst scene, we see a group of insignilicant Freshmen who have invaded the halls of S. H. S. from the classrooms of jenkins and Cleveland. Al- though we all seem to be in a dense fog, our activities, which are led by our capable presi- dent, Pat Federline, keep us so occupied that we gradually are becoming a part of S. H. S. SCENE II Scene-a football field. Fight T e a ml Fightlv we hear resounding from the student section. The team is being led across the field by Captains Cannon and Farley, who inau- gurate for us a fairly successful season under the direction of Coach Cox. SCENE III Before we can realize it, Christmas has come and gone, and we are now seen busily engaged in the many activities that take place during the second semester. Some of these are a fine basketball season, the Dramatic Clubis presentation of Angel Street, and the gym circus. But soon we are to bid our first crew of Seniors farewell, and we wish them all the MABEL CARLISLE THORNWELL Fmcx luck in the world in their new venture into life. So ends our first year at our dear 'ole' Alma Mater. ACT II-SCENE I Here we find ourselves on a bright Septem- ber morning in 1948. As we regretfully but happily make our way to school, we notice that some changes have been made in our administration. Of course, our beloved Mrs. Taylor is back with us again to lead the school in a new epidemic of school spirit and some fine choral music. SCENE II Here we find ourselves on the football field once again with some very fine players rep- resenting our team, such as jimmy Brock, Big-un and Little-un Couch, and Dennis Barbare. Our basketball team has some rough- sledding, mainly because of an inexperienced group, but we all feel sure that they will re- deem themselves next year. SCENE III The scene is set in the auditorium, and we find ourselves in the midst of one of the most hotly contested presidential campaigns in our history. Whom shall we vote for, Shelby or Moody? But all to soon it comes time again to bid our Seniors farewell with tears but also secret ambitions, because we know that we will soon emerge into that wonderful era-becoming an upperclassman! Histor . . .1951 ACT III-SCENE I Moody Smith stars now in leading the cast in a most eventful year as president of the Student Council. Moody is kept very much occupied with our radio program Class Change and with winning oratorical contests. SCENE II Coach Stutzls team has a good season on the football field this year and closes out with a triumphant victory over Gaffney. Starring in this scene are Captain Lawrence Hammitt and Co-Captain Allen Fine, the latter repre- sents us on the Shrine Bowl from South Carolina. X SCENE III Clear the Stage! Make way for the Frantic Follies, our super colossal variety show! The show is a great success. W SCENE IV Our guest star in this scene is Miss Koelbl, who has come all the way from Germany to visit our school and to see how S. H. S. stu- dents go through their daily routine of rush- ing from class to class and standing in line at Mother Manninglsv cafeteria. ACT IV -SCENE I At last--the climax-we are starring as Sen- iors and have risen from the dungeon on the first floor to the lofty heights of the third floor! Our new director is Mr. McCracken, who comes to us from North Carolina. SCENE ll The main character in scene two is played by Jimmy Suber, who leads the Student Coun- cil through a wonderful year. Co-starring with jimmy is Buddy Hammond, President of the Senior Class. SCENE III On Stage-we see a group of students cheer- ing our great football team in the most color- ful event in many years-The Pep Parade. Our team is to be congratulated on overcom- ing our most bitter rivals, Greenville and Gaff- ney, not to mention all the other hapless foes who fell under the might of the Crimson Tide, SCENE IV Here we see a great troup of actors per- forming in the Dramatic Clubls presentation of one of their best plays Eastward in Eden. SCENE V The finale comes at last, and those who thought they would be glad to see this play end realize how wonderful these four years have been. We hope that the finale will not bring a climax to our lives but will make us face a challenge to make all our lives as successful as this play. Signed: MABEL CARLISLE, T HORNWELL FRICK. Senior Class Donor:-rv KIRKPATRICK JANICE LONG Prophee Three weird and wicked witches meet on a barren heath one stormy, gloomy day in 1951 to prophecy the destinies of Spartanburg High's outgoing seniors. As these three wicked sisters stir their witches, brew, they ponder over the various personalities of our gradu- ating class, and we are here to present their prophecies to you just as they were presented to us: The First VVitch chants, as she adjusts her glasses and stirs the brew with a ruler: The spirits reveal to me Buddy Hammond as he closes his world-famous Hillbilly Jamboree with his theme song, 'Hadacol Boogie' Here we have double, double toil and trouble as Doris Turner warms up the getaway car for the notorious gangster, lean Littlejohn. It seems that this celebrated twosome have gained great recognition in this field but no more than have the renowned detectives, William Tucker, jane Varn, and Cecil Brown, who are close on their trail, assisted by their bloodthirsty hounds bred by none other than that unequalled dog-breeder, 'Hound Dog' Craoer. Shirley Lowe is working madly to get out on time the Cowpens Daily, of which she is editor, while her business manager, Ana Mayo, is beating her salesmen for lack of ads. Yuk, yuk, fine going! In form more palpable, I see Mitzi Thomas as hostess of her very ex- clusive dress shop, 'La Petite Shoppe,' as her latest designs are displayed by her slinky, expert models, Ann Harley, Barbara Wooten, and Carolyn Steading. Among the onlookers I spy with my evil eye 'Sleepyi Lee, and Stewart Heath, gaping as in a coma. Ah-h-h and the fumes of my charm'd pot now reveal to me Ansie Lou johnson, hob- bling around furiously as she gives the little 'Fainsi last minute instructions before their marching in the Christmas Paradef, By the pricking of my thumbs Another wicked one this way comesf, QThe Second Witch glares with piercing and beady eyes into the gruel, thick and slab.j Stirring the cauldron with hammers, she cries: Behold the builders of the nation! Earl Ward, President of the United States, assisted by his cabinet: 'Fool-em-All' fAngusD Lander, 'Boisterous' fDeanj Buchanon, 'Leave-em-Laughin' QDanD Cromer, and Paul Q'Track-em-Down'J McKinney. 'F l o w i n g Voice' CTilliej Tillotson debates the current problem: Whatis to Be Done With Wade Burley. I see in Lowe's Cowpen's Daily this head- line: Big Time Poultry Boss, Thornwell Frick, Sues Rhode Island purpleis Dealer, Walter Massey. F rickis renowned female attorney, Eleanor Breazeale, declares her case sewed up, while Karl Brandt, Massey's dynamic defender, hopes to break the case wide open. Notorious gambler, 'Card Shark, CCecilJ Smith and 'Diamond King, QHenryj Iacobs have already been fined for contempt of court and thrown out by bouncer Gilbert f'Apey,! Cox. The former was fined for prolonged winking at the female attorney and the latter for loudly voicing comments in behalf of Massey. fHeaping books and test papers in cauldron, witch continuesj: F or a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubblef, Lol It comes! Ah-h-h, here we see it: The Kentucky Derby! Bill Hurt, MCM photogra- pher, is hanging on desperately to a horse's tail as he snaps Elsie Seldon, internationally known jockey, thundering across the finish line on the celebrated 'Always Laggin', highly prized stallion of renowned horsebreeder, Anne Shea. Some of the joyous and successful betters in the crowd are: Mary Norris and all the little 'Neighborsf David Turner, Ginger Johnson, lack Harnbrick, Lewis Montgomery and Bobby Kelly. Chewing her cigar franti- cally, horse trainer Cynthia Gibbs bellows ad- vice from the sidelines to the winning jockeyf, My speech is fully done, And yours, my sister, is just begunf' fThe Third Witch slyly mutters to herself as she throws in dish water and stirs the bub- bling concoction with rolling pins.J Third Witch: Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. I see, rising in the smoke, the faces of Betty Lambert, Lib Hall, Ann F ain, Carolyn Hyatt, Frankie Io Lister, Nell Iolley, Mary Bryson, Ioan Beville, Sylvia Bates, Nancy Drinkhard, Betty lean Brown, and Betty Foster. Beautiful creatures! Are they the only such fortunate ones? Oh, no, for in different walks of life we see others: 'Fuzzy' Long, assisted by Doug Queen, is seen coaching the Widely acclaimed Crimson Tide to countless victories. In pro- fessional football we see Iimmy Dennis, John Bryant, Warren Martin, Bill Bryant, Billy Phillips, Ted Arthur, Paul Cope, and Walter Bell. Aha, and here is Malvin Wallace, pro- basketball player, thriving on his lavish for- tune, as is Carolyn Cudd, who obtained her fortune through the establishment of hospitals for de-nourished animals. In her scientific laboratories the famous scientists Iohn Karegeannes, Billy Bedenbaugh, and Fritz Frank are working on a new drug even more effective than Hadacol! Here, we also find Dr. Anne Weathers administering aid to Dana Hurst's pedigreed 'Sausagef In Hunt's Dancing School we find hos- tesses Frances Satterlee, Patsy jean Cheney, Katie Oakman, Shirley Frey, Doris Coggins, Marion Bearden, Betty Hauser, and Louise White. Frequent customers found here are Robin Mangum, Thomas Taylor, Bill Boyd. Frank Farmer, and Walter Brice. CThird Witch throws powder into pot: a flash dis- plays an overall picture of the preceding pro- phecies and next shifts forward to the future? QAll witches croon togetherb: Boil, black cauldron, boil and bubble, Look from us, O ye students! Visions bring you no more trouble. Seek to know no more!', I The storm deepens over the barren heath, and low rumbles fill the air. The hags huddle closer, stirring swiftly, ever more swiftly. They cackle as they fasten their glittering eyes on the cauldron, now boiling with the fury of a violent tempest. Louder and more piercing rises their chant. Suddenly, with a mighty roar, witches and cauldron vanish in wisps of smoke. Lo! In its place, behold the Melting Pot of the Nations, S. H. S. in the center! There stand the judges of United Nations: Howard Cook Richard Dowdeswell Bill Hagler Margaret Davis Ieanette Anderson Alan Sharpton Jimmy Suber Ioyce Flynn Mabel Carlisle Mary Patterson Iohn Stratford Karl Brandt Surrounding them, row on row, in the mighty Halls of Peace, stand the remaining seniors of S. H. S., their heads held high, their resolution firm that war shall vanish from the Earth! In triumphant chorus, like the notes of a deep-toned organ, they chant: Their spears shall be turned into pruning forks And their swords into plowshares, And Peace shall reign forevermore! DOT KIRKPATRICK, JANICE LONG.

DEAN BUCHANAN enior Class Poe Consider the days that lie ahead And the days that have gone by Are you proud of yourself for the choice you've m Or is the future really worthwhile? There is much to be found if you'll but look - And have faith to believe you can. Success is inspired by the succeeder's attempt, Do what you think best with good mind. This is the day we look forward to, But dread when it appears, Do you ask yourself, What did I do To consider it through in twelve years?v ,Tis not the end, there,s a long trail yet And a journey which should be made. Itis rough they say, not easy to getg Hard stepping stones to success lead the way. And too thereis a stream which must be crossed, And it's much too deep to wade, But there is a power which buoys us on And helps one to continue the way. ,Tis the spirit of hope and effort put forth, By the one who wishes to be- The mindis desire for what the soul doth crave, And To be what He'd have me bef, At the end of the trail is the tree of life, Where the hungering soul may be fed. The shade of the tree offers greatest repose From the things both past and ahead. It's well we get there, and well that we stay- ,Til rest has completed this aim. Eat of the fruit as a strengthening relay, For the dawning brings you your fame. ITI ade -DEAN BUCHANAN 43 we , W UNIOR SAWYER, BELL, HULL, BURNETT omior 674155 Oyeem SCOTT HULL . . .

The score was 39 to 0. The team opened the home season by play- ing F airforest. Although the Tide was greatly hindered by injuries received in the Wilming- ton game, it came out on top with a score of 26 to 6. The next game, against Parker, was a hard fought game from the first kick-off. Spartan- burg played a great game but couldn't push the ball over the goal line. Parker scored twice to make the final tally read 14 to 0. SUB1-.11 j SUBEH, W.

The next week the Crimson Tide traveled to Creenwood to play the Greenwood Em- eralds. The Tide couldn't match Creenwood's early six-point lead. The game ended with Spartanburg tailing 6 to 0. Against Anderson the Crimson Tide played good ball but not good enough to down their rival. The game ended in Anderson's favor 26 to 6. Spartanburg scored first in the Dreher game but was unable to keep its early lead. Dreher was victorious with a score of 25 to 18. The best game of the season was played against Greenville when the Crimson Tide won 7 to 6. ALLEN, TNTOONEYHAINI, Managers Spartanburg's Homecoming Came against Easley was a one-sided affair. Easley played hard but couldnit stop the tide. The Creen Waves were defeated 46 to 6. Our traditional Thanksgiving game was a howling success. Every Crimson Tider gave a good account of himself.
