Spartanburg High School - Spartana Yearbook (Spartanburg, SC)

Page 26 text:

The class of 1961 at Spartanburg High is a record-breaking group. This year's seniors were the last class to attend school at the old building. They were the first class to engage in the accele- rated program for exceptional students. Nineteen merit semi-finalists were pro- duced from their ranks, the highest number in the state. Two seniors were president of two state-wide organiza- tions. Graduating seniors on the athletic teams led their respective squads to out- standing records. Seniors elected to the Student Council greatly aided the How to Study program presented at S.H.S. in january and February. The class of 1961 can leave Spartan High with a feeling of real accomplish- ment, for it has set a record-breaking pace for succeeding classes to equal.
