We, the graduating class of Spartanburg High School, have reached our destination. As we leave the good ship S. H. S., we leave behind many memories. We feel that we have left a beacon that will shine bright enough to guide future classes to a safe harbor. With one last look at our ship, we turn it over to the classes that follow, hoping that they will work and hope for all their fellow shipmates; and after reaching their destination will in turn pass this faithful ship over to the succeeding class. 17 Senior ELSIE ANN ACKER BARBARA ADAMS JANET AGNEW EDWARD ALLEN JACK ALLEN BILL ALLEY JAMES ALLEY LYNETTE AMICK MARY AMICK FRANK AUSTELL MARGARET ANN BALDWIN GEORGE BANKS KENNETH BARTON WALTER BASKIN JOHN BATES Class PEGGY JOYCE BATTLE BARBARA BEARDEN CORINNE BEVIS JIMMY BLAIR JACKIE BONNER YVONNE BRADER BILLY BRADLEY FREDERICK BRANDT SHIRLEY BRIDGES BILL BRIGHT LEON BROCK BOBBY BROWN DEAN BROWN FAYE ANN BROWN GAYLE BROWN Senior JOE E.

The members of the class of '54 pooled their brains and resources to make the evening one of the gala events of the century. Classmates gathered from all four corners of the globe to accept congratulations for their amazing achievements. The new auditorium, a gift of tycoon HARRY ELLERBE, was illuminated from the top of its 300-foot tower to the bottom of its 300-foot deep pool (gift of deep-seadiver LOWELL HAMMOND) with millions of colored lights furnished by electrical wizzards BILL BRIGHT and ANN WATT. A facade portraying the history of the class was the work of CAR-OLyN LITTLEJOHN and BRUCE COPELAND. The decorating of the interior carried out the class colors of BROWN, GREEN, and WHITE. On the walls were murals by SHIRLEy PAINTER. The tables were massed with orchids thrown in by plane manufacturer GEORGE ByRD. The menu of the feast was prepared by Chefs LAMB. KOON. PRIDGEN, and METCALF under the direction of PAT BURNS. Outstanding was the cranberry sauce prepared by RICHARD LINEBERRy. On the tables were souvenir packages of Puff and Cough cigarettes. Cough drops were donated by ANNE. BARBARA. FAyE, NELLIE. PATRICIA. PAUL. ROBBIE, and JOIN OUR DANCING CLASSES HOLD-ER AND TURN-ER NEED A HOLE IN yOUR EAR?

He paid high tribute to cheese king LARRy PERMINTO for improving the American sandwich. After his speech a musical program was presented by cellist SALLy GIGNILLIAT, ukelele player JANET HUNT, and pianist SI By L NORMENT. Several skits portraying Teachers I have known were given by BESS MACOMSON. FRANCES SELDEN, MAXINE CLyDE. and SyLVlA Mc-ARTHUR. followed by JOES GOOCH-E-GOOCH-E Dance.

Rather it is our aim to present in review friends, occasions, and places that have made our years at Spartanburg High School memorable ones. If a long, long time from now our efforts succeed in bringing before you a procession of scenes sometimes happy, occasionally sad, often thrilling, and rarely dull, we will have achieved our purpose. Do you remember the day our drama commenced? It was on September 9. 1951. And a typical group of newcomers we were. We truly understood the expression neither fish nor fowl for. while we were actually first year students, we were classified as sophomores. However a three-day orientation program soon made us so familiar with the student celebrities that we were courageous enough to hail them by name—almost! Among these awesome characters were Scott Hull and Jan Bell, president and vice-president of the student body, respectively, Bobby Burnett, president of the Senior Class, Lewis Porter, editor of the SPARTANA, and Ann Hudgens. Scribbler editor. Oh, and we also learned to recognize our Principal, Spencer M. Rice and some of his administrative staff. Our long, yet three years at Spartanburg High School had begun. For the first time in our lives we began to use the calendar not just for looking up the date of Christmas holidays. There were so many events scheduled at high school that we had to write them down. The more important red letter occasions were the installation ceremony of the Student Council, the football games, highlighted by the homecoming festivities, the first thespian offering of the year, a murder drama set in England, and our election of class officers. John Huss was chosen to lead the sophomores. Clubs numbered among the thousands and all were clamouring for our membership. The annual Christmas concerts by the chorus and band opened the yuletide season which came and then drew to a close all too soon. We were thrown into deeper gloom by January tests. However, the casualty lists weren't too long, and most survivors soon recovered enough to attend the Beta Club Valentine Dance, at which Sibyl Norment reigned as queen. Basketball got well under way with the now famous stars Dennis Mathis, Harry Wallace, Ray Eubanks, Jimmy Maxwell. and Don Fowler accounting for the victorious season. Spring was heralded with the meeting of the South Carolina Scholastic Press Association in Spartanburg. Spartan High was host to five hundred twenty journalists who elected Frank White president for the ensuing year. To add to our cup of joy, the Scribbler was awarded the trophy for the best newspaper in Class A. The Dramatics Department also won its share of the glory in a varied repertory of Good News , The Willow and I , and Where Is Thy Sting? This last drama by Alan Willis, was enthusiastically received by the judges at the University of North Carolina. Joanne Allaband, and Bob Burnett played the leads. Citizenship Day in early May marked for recognition in various fields a number of seniors. Around twenty-five seniors were honored. Principal Rice also brought distinction to our school at this time by receiving his Ph.D. in Education from the Teachers' College of Columbia University at New York City. Dr. Rice earned the degree in the field of Educational Administration. We had with us for the month of May a visitor who proved to be one of our most popular guests. Mr. Lothar Lutze of Breslau, Germany, spent a fortnight in this section of the United States studying education at the high school level. On the night of June 4, 1952, we gathered with other friends and families to see our seniors become graduates. It was with pride, tears, and no little apprehension that we joined them in the final singing of the Alma Mater. For some of our dearest school ties were being severed with the Seniors' departure. Now we were members of the rising Junior Class. The summer of 1952 broke all sorts of records, official ones for the heat and unofficial ones for brevity in our opinion. Hard-won sun tans had barely appeared when they seemed to grow dim in the shade of that edifice of higher learning on South Dean Street, known as Spartanburg High School. 46 We plunged into the various activities like veterans, being experienced juniors now. The Seniors seemed a little smaller now, though still very important and entirely un-accessible. Don Fowler, president of the Student Council, officiated at the opening assembly. Senior Class President Walter Suber, Bob Talbert, president of the Junior Class, and Ned Austell, Freshman Class president, were installed at the annual Student Council ceremony. Frank White edited his second issue of the Scribbler” at this time, and Keith Johnson was appointed editor of the SPARTANA. Beta Club president Marguerite Gignilliat announced the new members. The Crimson Tiders were off to a shining start in new uniforms. Among those who starred in the new outfits were Walt Suber, Bill Henderson, Willie Smith, and Tommy Tezza, seniors; and Reddick Still. Jimmy Johnson, and Bob Talbert coming into the picture as co-stars. For the first time, the school system initiated a nine-weeks' report card plan. No more mid-term and final exams! Then we learned of the nine-weeks' tests. The Voice of Democracy Contest got under way with Frank White, as S. H. S.'s representative, winning the state contest. A great deal of interest was displayed in the national elections for President with most of the students voting in an opinion poll. Eisenhower was not the favorite. However, a graceful retreat was beat from national affairs and we all attended the initial drama production of the year, The Fool . Homecoming and other fall frolics took place around this time of year, too. Christmas loomed once more over the horizon and was celebrated with songs, bands, the Shrine Bowl game to which Willie Smith was sent, and aid to the welfare agencies. Joel Sexton was chosen to run for President of the South Carolina Beta Club and made a successful bid for that office at the annual convention at Columbia in March. Libby McCord was elected president of the Interstate Tri-Hi-Y, and Lu Lynn Galt was chosen to serve as corresponding secretary. The Dramatics Department selected No, No Nanette for its 1953 musical and leads were ably sung by Phyllis Bucheit and Delane Johnson. Hubert Linhart. an exchange student from Germany, had by this time won a very firm spot in all our hearts by expressing so often and sincerely his delight at being a member of our student body. The Red Birds flew through a wonderful season with Don Fowler, Israel Wrubel, Earl Alford, and Bill Splawn leading the Flock. They joined the students in welcoming Mr. Charles Cummins as Head Coach and Director of Physical Education to succeed our beloved Coach Bob Hicks, now in Wyoming. Members of the S. H. S. Golf Team, captained by Gabe Hill, won silver trophies at the South Carolina Amateur Championship. A Spring Drama Festival was inaugurated by the Dramatics Department for Spartanburg High School with a number of juniors and seniors taking part in six one-act plays. These were follewed in April by Rebecca . The Thespians won the highest possible awars at the Chapel Hill Drama Festival. A hush-hush atmosphere began to prevail over the halls at this season. Honors Day was in the offing. King Frank White and Queen Marguerite Gignilliat knighted thirty loyal subjects of the realm. Head-decorator for the program was Mrs. L. W. Jenkins, beloved by all the stu- dent body. We felt sure on seeing this beautiful assembly that there had never been one to equal it. Nine-weeks’ tests began to rear their ugly heads and the commencement of a year's leave of absence for Miss Christine Smith added to the depression. But review week helped the exam situation and Miss Smith promised to return from Canada, so the future appeared less dark. Graduation was set for June 4 and we attended it with far more sadness than pleasure. We were happy for the successful goals our senior friends had won. But their caps and gowns were now descending on our shoulders. Could we wear them with equal distinction? It almost appeared that we had hardly pulled ourselves together on descending the auditorium steps after graduation time before we were bracing ourselves to go up the high school stairs as seniors. Yes, SENIORS! And after all these years of anticipation, becoming a senior didn't change things at all. We weren't really older or too much more important. The only thing that had changed was the fact that we wouldn't be able to come back the next year! We had chosen Bob Talbert to lead the student body through our final scenes at Spartanburg High School. Other offices filled were that of Senior Class President by Jimmy Johnson, Junior Presidency by Ned Austell, and that of Sophomore by Joe Alley. Sandra White was appointed 54 Editor-in-Chief of the SPARTANA, and Louise Law began to edit the Scribbler . Janet Hunt led the Beta Club. A newcomer to the faculty of S. H. S. was Miss Mary M. Tolbert, an exchange teacher from Winnipeg, Canada. Having exchanged with Miss Smith, she was advisor to the Scribbler as well as full-time teacher. Mr. Henry Janiec joined the music faculty of S. H. S. as conductor of the Symphony Orchestra. The Crimsons, under the co-captainship of Reddick Still and Jimmy Johnson defeated Parker in one of the season's most thrilling games. Sandy Taylor brought pride to our hearts by being selected to play in the Shrine Bowl game. Wings of an Angel , an original play by Mr. Alan Willis, was praised highly. It was followed by the production of Our Town , in which Louise Seay and Roddy Nash starred. Instead of producing a musical during 1954, the Dramatics Department presented a group of one-act plays. Among them Crusade an original written by Allan Willis. With the coming of Spring we went to several conventions for the last time. Some of these were the South Carolina Scholastic Press Association Convention in Greenville and the State Beta Club Convention in Columbia. Honors Day and the Junior-Senior Dance reminded us that our days at Spartan High were numbered. Sometimes called the happiest days of our lives and without a doubt the most carefree, our high school career was coming to a very rapid close. And so, on June I, 1954, we gathered together for the last time as a class. Never could those last steps down the aisle and up the steps be retraced. Our hands shook a little as we received our diplomas, not with fear, but with the importance of the situation. The world was waiting for us; we were the future citizens. We were the hope for tomorrow. 47 Junior TROGDON, AUSTELL, JACKSON and HAMMOND make plant to decorate for Junior-Senior.

And the wheel’s kick and the wind's song and the white sails shaking. And a gray mist on the sea’s face and a gray dawn breaking. I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. I must down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life. To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over. —JOHN MASEFIELD. 61 Sophomore ALLEY, LAW, GAINES and SHEPHERD leave lor Mr. Willis' Studio to be the first Sophomores to have individual pictures made for SPARTANA.

One lingering look behind I cast; A wave came rolling high and fast, And washed my lines away. And so, methought, twill shortly be With every mark on earth from me: A wave of dark oblivion’s sea Will sweep across the place Where I have trod the sandy shore Of time, and been, to be no more, Of me—my day—the name I bore. To leave nor track nor trace. And yet, with Him who counts the sands And holds the waters in His hands, I know a lasting record stands Inscribed against my name. Of all this mortal part has wrought. Of all this thinking soul has thought. And from these fleeting moments caught For glory or for shame. —HANNAH FLAGG GOULD. 69 OFF TO THE SHRINE BOWL’ PLAY BALL' xu% Sattloi ycMeuttiy . 71 Left to Right: COACH CUMMINS. COACH LOVEDAY.

Backed by last season's record of SEVEN wins and THREE losses and spurred by Coach Wally Dean’s superior coaching, this year's linksmen with the assistance of three returning lettermen plan to do some top-flight golfing. Last year they won the Kiwanis Tournament for the second time with Gabe Hill winning individual honors as medalist by defeating Aubrey Rothrock of Fairforest (previously a member of Spartanburg's team). They also won fourth place in the Chattanooga Tournament.

The drive began with a girls’ assembly led by the officers of the club. A follow up of the drive was a party given for the new and old members. With one of the largest enrollments of the past few years, the regular Tuesday-Thursday schedule began with individual sports featuring ping-pong and badminton. Deck tennis and volleyball were the November sports with a special volleyball playnight concluding this phase of the program. Basketball, which began in December, was interrupted for the annual Christmas party. This celebration is held not only for fun, but it is also a chance for the G. A. A. to help with a project. Every member brought a small Christmas gift for a needy child. Basketball continued after Christmas until February with intramural squad games and was terminated by a special playnight. During March archery was the main event with some days spent practicing for the annual track meet. From April until the final day of school, the greata game of softball'’ was the main sport, with new suntans and sprained wrists and fingers blossoming out like fresh spring flowers. Two specialties highlighted the G. A. A. program in the spring. The first was the annual spring mountain trip. The girls left after school Friday and traveled by bus to the mountains where they spent a fun-filled weekencnof devilment and merriment. The., presentation of awards concluded a well-rounded year of girls) sports Next year the G. A. A. will be happy to welcome all new members, alumnae, and friends, for the Jub has as its motto: ‘The mor v he merrier!”—Lu t.ynn.
