Only one thing did we all have in common, the road signs all pointful in the same direction and with the same numl ers on each signpost. At first, that sign. SMS-nine years straight ahead, seemed impossible. Distance grew shorter until the day came when we could hardly believe it. We were here. Tl� e three years spent together have passed all too quickly, hut we still have one mission in life. We must he the apostles of the past, the Colonial Dames of SHS History. It shall he our sole function to remind future undergraduates that we went to school in the C� ood Ole Days.” We must make them envious of us who will he remembered as the last class to go out ns members of what will certainly come to he known us the Old School; for the coming school year promise's the opening of a new building. Surely this is enough to make us a little sentimental. That, however, is not our function, as we shall return to the more purely historical aspects of this famous Class of 59. If it is true that History is the record of the deeds of great men and that the deeds of great men are the result of their individual characteristics, we must conclude that History' is based on various characteristics. Do not. however, examine this conclusion too closely. What then were the characteristics of this class? The Class of 1959 was undeniably a social class. From the time we entered here, we can remember some school social. I he Block S havrides, the Key Club party at the Gun Club, the constant get-togethers on weekends, those famous spend-the night parties—these only being that infinite list of gatherings. We could mention the first Junior-Senior we attended. We could never forget tossing a penny into that tremendous fountain; then crossing the floor, we became aware of the fact that we were in Venice. Our Senior Day may not have been a social event, hut it was unquestionably an event! Our Homecoming Weekend, which had been promised us since last spring, became, for the first time, a big event this year. We all helped build one of those priceless floats, and went to Morgan Square to stir up some excitement. Of course there have been lapses of our social rank, hut those times arc forgotten whenever possible. As a class we were no great success financially; nevertheless, this is the second aspect to consider. When we first arrived here, we had only to wait two weeks before being led into an assembly which presented us with the idea that every good student Imuglit the Scribbler. We. being gullible, wanted to he upright citizens of our community. In order to do this, we naturally l ought a paper once a month. Not long after huving emptied our pockets, we derided to make everyone else at Spartanburg High do the same. During the month of February each homeroom gathered on Saturday mornings at different posts and collected money for the March of Dimes. Those Saturday mornings were filled with fun for a necessary cause. Hie next year we were very familiar with our Annual Christmas Project for Indigent Children, sponsored by the Student Council. Each homeroom did its very beat raising funds for this purpose. We had fun wrapping all the presents and getting them under our giant Christmas tree for our assembly. I o top all this, in our senior year, we were facer! with another lesson in finances—selling Christmas cards for our Senior Class Project. For this achievement alone we should go down in history. We were the first class to clear a grand total of $466.87. Hie 87 cents was the gross profit gotten from Miss Grant after site misplaced a box. I he athletic diameter of the Class has been more expertly described elsewhere. I wish it were possible to say that our football team defeated every opponent they played by a score of ‘18-0, hut no matter how their record stands, we’re still extremely proud of them. After some of those inspiring pep rallies, we were willing to ride on the chartered buses to the end of the earth to see our team play. Speaking of this aspect, it would he impossible for us to continue without mentioning the new course senior girls were privileged to indulge in after C hristmas this year. Hiat was none other than a course in Modem Darning. Actually, our directors must have wunled us to lose a little weight here and there, hut they couldn’t expect us to do a thing like that, when we were to play in the Powder Bowl, the beat sports attraction of our entire physical education career. This next aspect, versatility, can only he judged through individuals. I ake, for instance, the chorus classes that gave 44 us such astounding concert! twice n year. Hie Dramatics Department produced Holiday For Divers our senior year after diligent work and endless efforts. Our class was an intellectual class. Iliink of the awa rds given to members of ibis class on I fonor s Day, the twelve lioys who competed for the NROTC scholarships, the Merit finalists, and the listings in the paper every six weeks of the student with straight A s. A for our political status, we started off with a hong! That first week we voted for Council members, ( lass officers, and every since then, we have been constantly voting on something. In the spring of our Junior year, the task came of electing the lender of our school. For over two weeks we read |ioster.« in the halls, listened to endless discussions, and finally heard ani|Niign speeches. To top it all Jimmy came down with the measles. Only recently we seniors got a lesson in | olitirul graft furnished by the staff of the annual. Over the intercommunication system came the following message: All seniors must have their pictures made within the next two days, just anytime convenient to you. of course. Any picture not taken by Mr. Willis in his third-floor studio is not acceptable, and the Spartana is under no obligation to print it. Our seventh and Ins aspect is simply that our class had pride—not just plain pride. It could even be said that we were lofty with pride at times. This, however. Is not conceit, just pride. Wlien we look our seals and watched the Council march in to take their oath, we couldn t help hut feel proud that such a fine group of students were chosen to lead us for the coming year. For our traditional Rose Ceremony, our assemblies during Character Fmphasis week, and those precious senior privileges, we felt a sense of pride. More than ever that pride was fell at Graduation Fxercises. not only by us. but also, by our parents and our friends. For now we had reached u milestone in the history of our lives. We had graduated. All of us had looked forward to this event with mixed emotions. Some had dreaded, since the beginning, the thought of working and so had put off graduation as long ns |K� ssible, even in some cases escaping it. Others had long lx en impatient, while still others maintained a neutral altitude: but probably the majority of us didn't know exactly how to feel. We had realized that this step was a necessary, inevitable one; but as yet we had failed to comprehend all that it entailed—the conclusion of undergraduate days, the more or less permanent severing of friendships and connections, and a thorough separation from an environment that had just become familiar and that we were just beginning to appreciate, t hree years ago at this time we had a definite plan for the future, but today many of us are a little uneasy in our concern for an uncertain future, vaguely aware that we are quitting a certain mode of living to face new and different res|M nsibilities and duties. We have all had a tendency to believe that our lives have been made or unmade by the things that we have gotten or the things we have done, according to the recognition we have received as undergraduates. We had been interested in doing and getting, rather than in being or becoming. We had lived in a nervous atmosphere, had been feverishly concerned with our success in extra-curriculum activities, whether in the news office or on the football field; until there was imbued in us a sort of philosophy with an underlying principle that we had accomplished or failed in accordance with the success achieved in the ('lass of 1919. Many will go out. smugly content to reset on their laurels; others will leave feeling slightly embittered about it all. But all of us will witness the culmination of our efforts. It will lx , in fact, the climax of our struggles to date. Yet obviously, such an attitude is absurd, since our experiences here are but the preparation for things to come. Tliis attitude does not explain the deep sense of genuine loyalty that is ours, which has always been present in a way. but which now. more than ever before, takes precedence over all other feelings. For. from the beginning, whatever part has been ours, whether recognized or not. each of us has been confronted with problems or the indications of problems that are sure to be encountered at some later stage. Up to the present moment we have had the advice and counsel of other minds than our own. considering their solution only in a rather specialized atmosphere. But these are conditions that cannot fail to leave their stump on us hereafter; naturally, then, we are leaving better equipped, more fully prepared to take our respective places. Influences whose full significance we cannot as yet understand, whose value we can only judge by the tradition of the complete loyalty of the alumni, a loyalty that seems to grow in direct proportion with the years have been at work here. And so with these and other acquired impressions, we are ul out to begin u new and broader life with certain advantages. It is what we do with them that is iuqmrtant. We ore living in an age of tremendous transition: new concepts und discoveries in politics, science, and education meet us at every turn. All of us are faced with the problem of readjustment, f'ew of us. perhaps, mav be the guiding spirits of what is to come, but all of us should Ik uctive and intelligent members of the vanguard. If this training has taught us anything, it most certainly has given us the power to appreciate the tune of our times: and if we are not fortunate enough to lx leaders, ours is the duty, at any rate, of comprehension and cooperation. Although it will undoubtedly prove far easier merely to watch the procession from the comfort of a selfishly planned life, we have a definite responsibility that is more than just personal. The tradition of which we are the inheritors has not been to send out a group of individuals devoted to furthering their own interests. Our school is not concerned with furnishing an education that can immediately lx translated in one way or another; rather the knowledge we have assimilated is meant to be formative, to mold a body of a citizen whose lives and interests may be communal as well as personal, universal as well as individual. We are no longer to lx judged by confining standards; but through those same standards, having paved the way for the responsibility now falling to us. and in our assumption of that responsibility, we may in some measure justify our position as graduates of SHS. 45 Brown.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Spartanburg High School Student Council works to promote better cooperation between the students and the faculty, to unify the interests of the student body, to develop a better school spirit, and to be a common governing body for all student organizations. Although not primarily a service organization, the Student Council has cooperated in many worthwhile campaigns such as the March of Dimes and helping indigent children at Christmas. The 1958-1959 Council, led by Ernest Nantz. has. among many other things, painted the Council room, established a booster committee to encourage better school spirit, and done its best to uphold the Student Council Oath. 70 THE SPARTANA STAFF The 1959 Spartana Staff consists of 27 students who have combined their talents in an attempt to present a yearbook that will be a joy to each student at Spartanburg High School and a credit to that school wherever it is seen. The Spartana is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association and the South Carolina Yearbook Association. John Lowry, a member of our business staff, is vice-president of the latter organization. It has been the aim of the staff to produce an annual that records the most important events of this year at SHS. Mrs. Ann Reid is fat ulty advisor of the staff.
