Respectfully, BOARD OF EDITORS. 3TJ0ttfc HIGH SCHOOL- To the brave boys of St. Johns, who. moved by a lofty sense of duty, left their homes and loved ones to fight for humanity, freedom and justice, we dedicate this second volume oj Echoes. TO OUR RETURNING S I royal welcome, soldier boys; Your coming brings unbounded joys. Although we proudly bade you go To meet a savage, cruel foe. Our hearts were racked with anxious [tain Till victory brought you home again. Our thoughts were daily with you there, Our hopes, our pride, our constant prayer. And when you answered duty's call Like heroes true, forsaking all. If e followed close with loving eyes And hearts enriched with sacrifice. Your deeds of valor noble, true— If ill live in song and story, too; For when with rifle, sword and gun. You battered hard the brutal Hun, Ne'er soldier greater glory found Than on that bloody, shell-torn ground. On foreign fields some comrades lie 'Neath friendly sod and God's own sky; And ne'er can soil more honor share Than thus to hold those forms so dear. While requiems sweet from 'cross the seas Are softly sung by every breeze. They died for justice, truth and right In battle 'gainst unholy might. And now, in honor yet untold. XLDIER HOYS. Their ashes rest beneath the mould; Hut valiant deeds above that gloom Will brightly shine in fadeless bloom. Some fell by mishap or disease. Some peaceful sleep in troubled seas; These, all. a nation's thanks deserve, Whose sacred cause they died to serve; And memory's pages shining hold Their records, bright as burnished gold. Sueet be their sleep those gallant dead— With living lustre round each head. To you, your country's love be given. And blessings rich descend from Heaven; In lasting peace your swords be sheathed. Your brows in victor's laurels wreathed. If wound you bear from German gun. Or cross you wear, for valor won, Prize well that mark of high renown More precious far than sovereign's crown; llut sweeter still to each brave son The consciousness of duty done. To God Most High, with songs of praise, In grateful love your voices raise: His power brought victory in the strife, His loving kindness fills your life, To Him give praise and service meet. And “spread your trophies at His feet. —C. H. Edwards. JAMES R. DANIELS RTHLR WELLING Oscar Alexander...... Joe Keys Raird ...... James Blackwell..... John E. Boyd ....... Walter Bristow .....

Miss S. W. Bri nson Principal St. John’s High School ST. JOHN'S The school was a noticeable feature of the early history of Darlington. In 1818 five anti five-tenths acres of land, on the brow of Swift Creek, were purchased for three hundred dol- lars from Mr. John Gibson for a school. The first building, which was about forty feet wide and sixty feet long, consisted of three rooms; one large room in the center, which was the class room, and a smaller one at each end. used for scientific purposes. The school was called St. John's in honor of the Mason’s patron saint. During the Confederate War the school continued its ses- sion until the Yankees came, when the building was used as a Federal hospital, and the campus as a camping ground. Sometime later this building was burned, but afterwards a two-room building was erected in its place. Here Col. R. W. Boyd was instrumental in having St. John’s made a public school, of which Professor Patterson Ward law was first super- intendent. By this time the school had been enlarged to a six- room building, and otherwise improved, due largely to the efforts of Mrs. Geo. W. Dargan. In 1902 a handsome brick building took the place of the old wooden structure. This is now the Grammar School. A little later the Sanders’ property was purchased and added to this. Mrs. Sanders’ home was converted into a school building and SCHOOL. used as an annex, but later sold and removed. In 1915 St. John s High School was erected. Of this building the school and patrons are justly proud. It is modern, well-equipped, beautifully constructed. But no one feature of St. John’s is a source of as much last- ing pleasure and pride as its grounds. Topping as they do. rounded hills, which slope to the fresh greenness of a stream, the buildings command a beautiful background view. In front the level, shaded area is of sufficient breadth to give a certain dignity of isolation and aloofness to the buildings and throw them out in strong relief against the background of green trees. Since the year of St. John's inception until now, it has tutored within its democratic walls the best of Darlington’s manhood and womanhood; and has furnished to the state some of its best thought and action. Here were nourished the ideals which led to the “Sixties” and here were trained those stalwart defenders of democracy, who have gone forth to do battle in the great world war. Surely, if beauty of situation and tradition could act as inspirations to those of us following the path of knowledge, the students of St. John’s should find that rocky ascent easy to climb.

ON THE STILE As one who pauses on a stile Across a lofty wall That hedges off a smiling vale From mountains towering tall, pause today and backward glance, Dear Classmates, at the past. If hose pleasures seem so bright, wish That they might ever last. In Childhood's gay and flowery vale. Together oft we met; The memory of those happy hours Still lingers with us yet. Hut now we each must cross the stile And on new journeys start. That lead us up the steeps of life— Our paths today must part. Beyond those hills our future lies. And bright it looks and fair; Fulfillment of our sweetest dreams Seems waiting for us there. May ne'er a shadow of defeat Across your pathway fall; Oh, Classmates dear, but all thru life Good luck attend you all. —Helen Wicker, '19. RED LETTER DAYS. SCENE I: First Grade Room. Enter a band of little tots, clinging each to each, frightened almost out of their wits, some weeping aloud, others wide-eyed and dumb with anxiety. We were taken in charge and assigned never-ending tasks, and then embarked on our journey, whose goal was education. SCENE II: Participators (names withheld). One of our number rudely attacked a fellow classmate with his father’s razor (which was probably swiped). The attacked member uttered loud cries for help, which brought the teacher with great rapidity. The razor was confiscated (hard luck for Dad), and the offender subjected to the wrath of the superior student. SCENE III: Here we were found spending our fifth year in the annex, which, though not very attractive in appearance, was warm and comfortable, and we passed an enjoyable year—considering. SCENE IV: Enter “Chap.” While it would manifestly be impossible to mention all in- dividuals who entered our class, still there is one, ever since he joined us has been the novelty of the class, ('.hap Milling is a curious compound. He is wit, punster, songster, rhymster, and cartoonist of the Class. It was indeed a Red Letter day when we first saw Chap’s benign coco. SCENE V: Behold our entrance into High School! Our ex- perience there we found doubly interesting, first because it marked the ending of the grammar grades, and, too, we had our first teacher from the sterner sex. Mr. Farris was very popular with us all, but most especially with the girls. The scene was changed once here, for we moved into our new High School building, of which we are still exceedingly proud. SCENE VI: Frank. Jolly and James appear upon the scene. Frank has been one of our leading athletes, having done his duty on both the gridiron and diamond. Jolly, too, has given us a worthy example of the all-round good fellow, one who succeeds well in mingling work with fun. James is equal to Chap in some respects. He is very consci- entious, hard-working and eager to make the very best of his opportunities. He is quite an orator, and is always pleased when invited to make an impromptu speech, always acquitting himself with honor. SCENE Vll: II High at Last! We are laboring and struggling under the weight of our responsibilities and privileges (the chief one being that of hav- ing our examination ever) week). SCENE VIII: Days Red only in imagination. We can only sit and dream of the days that are yet in the far distant future. The Senior Picnic we are living each day when we see the glorious sunshine, hear the singing of the birds as they call to each of us to come out to the woods and be merry with them. Our hearts, truly, are filled with alarm, awe and despair when we imagine the coming of the Annual, where all our fears, hopes, aspirations and accomplishments have been indelibly writ as history. And above and beyond all is our glorious Commencement Day. While we keenly anticipate this event, the culmination of our trials and attempts, still a feeling of depression pervades the atmosphere when we remember that the years here are all past and gone, and are now history. We can only say that dear old St. John’s will always have a tender spot in our hearts. Eugene Vaughan, ’19. ACCORDING TO MOTHER GOOSE There was once a hind teacher Who taught at St. John's, Made her children buy Thrift Stamps and Liberty Bonds, Her children all loved her, Every one in the class. And here are the records of them in the past. Jolly, Jolly, the farmer's son. Stole a glance at a charming one. But alack. Miss B The glance did see. And kept poor Jolly in till three. Cupid shot and missed his mark, Fol de Rol de Rido, He shot poor Gene right through the heart. Sing Fol de Rol de Rido. Then Gene composed a lovely ode, Fol de Rol de Rido, Hi! Diddle Diddle! Pres played the fiddle, Hoffmeyer burst into song. The little girls ran When Hoffy began. And the big girls ambled along. He called himself an “humble toad, Sing Fol de Rol de Rido. He went to win a maiden fair, Fol de Rol de. Rido. The poor guy's mug she couldn't bear. Sing Fol de Rol de Rido. Little Miss Mozingo Wants a pin, by jingQ, “Oh! get a pin 'Twould be a sin For the Class to buy a ring 0! The girl cared naught for all his art, Fol de Rol de Rido, Poor Genius croaked of broken heart. Sing Fol de Rol de Rido. He Haw, Santy Claw, Harry shall have a new master. Mack Ward will give him but two bits a day, 'J.ess he gets a move on him faster. Small Huynie Fields, He daily spiels French and Math, and history; How one his size Fan be so wise To us is still a mystery. Stuffy was a countryman. Stuffy cut a caper. Stuffy came to my desk and stole a sheet o' paper. I went to Stuffy s desk. Alack! for he had come. Stuffy came to my desk and swiped a piece of gum. He chewed it in school, and to his surprise. If as ordered to walk till next day sunrise. Needles and pins, needles and pins. If'hen Fonder don't study, his trouble begins. Mary had a “tete e tele with a curious guy. Hut when the teacher came along, he quickly said “Good bye. Helen Mozingo needs a knife And so does Irene Vaughan, 'Twould be quite kind To lend them mine. Hut all my knives are gone. Eddy was a scientist. He bit some T. N. T. And in about three second's time “Up in the air was he; Hut after several hours Of sailing all around If'ith his coat-tails for a parachute. He landed on the ground. “The last bell rings, let's get our things And go, one day said Ellen. Alas! alas! uill not pass My French exam, said Helen. Hut come 'tis two, are you not thru? Exclaimed the tired Ellen. Just question three, and will be— At least, till four said Helen. Annie had a powder puff as pink as pink could be. One day in class it hit the floor, and scattered much Djer Kiss. There was once a young fiddler named Pres, His music was good, more or less. Hut when he did play. If hich was 'most every day. The list'tiers did elsewhere progress. Poor Pelham sat up in the Lab, And a dippy one sat beside her. She knew not that to the desk, The dippy one had tied her. A terrible punster called Dunk, Flung humor and wit very punk; 'Twas not often he wriggled. Quite seldom he giggled. And from all amusements he shrunk. Mildred taught as substitute, And as a school nxarm she uas cute. Hut when it came to discipline, Mildred did not always shine. If hat can tve do with Ella? move that we Expella, For uhat did she In Chemistry, But eat an apple mella. Sing a song in Chapel And Chapman sings, oh my! the others go down low Poor Chapman goes up high. And when his voice goes soaring On the highest note. The little fellows turn and grin. Till they get poor Chappy's goat. Cock a doodle doo! My rhymes are almost thru, A stick of Spearmint Comes to hand. Good bye. I'm going to chew. Chapman Milling, ’vt. LOOK WHO‘S HERE Laughter; happy faced boy and girl graduates,—with arms full of flowers, and conspicuous diplomas proud parents, music; I see it all again, that day in June, twenty years ago. I can even see myself among my classmates. How we crowd about each other, voting for a reunion. “Let’s say ten years from now,” said some one. Oh. let’s make it twenty,” said someone else. “We’ll have had time to do things by that time.” How far ahead the twenty years looked to us then! “We’ll never do it.” we said. “Let's elect a permanent secretary, one that we can trust to remind us of the date.” said a girl’s voice. Cries of “Let’s.' Then we elected Gene. “Gene will make the announcements so high-sounding, we’ll have to get the dictionary to know what he means.” I remember saying, and sure enough Gene did faithful secretary that he proved. How surprised I was when glancing over my mail. 1 found the little white envelope announcing in Gene’s own fashion that today was to he by the Grace of our Lord and the calendar, the 15th of June, 1939, and that a banquet table would he spread for those faithful to the class of ”1919 ’ and the spirit of Old St. John’s. 1 remember, though I never should have thought of it without Gene’s reminder- that last Class Meet- ing when we had looked forward twenty years to tonight, and solemnly pledged ourselves to this reunion. It is June again, and again it is the 15th. a day of laughter, and music, and flowers and song, but, instead of happy-faced boys and girls, my classmates are now responsible men and women. I looked about me in astonishment as I sit at the banquet table. Some of them I have not seen in years. Our paths have led us far from Old St. John’s! With what pride I claim these delightful men and charming women as old classmates of mine, as 1 listened to their various careers. How little we knew what the twenty years would show, and now! Little Helen Wicker! To think of her as the famous Helen Wicker of the stage, who has danced her way into the hearts of all Broadway. It can't be twenty years since Helen’s curls dangled about her neck, as she «lanced her wav out of Old St. John! She stil looks “Sweet Sixteen, which is Her most successful part in the musical comedy. And Chapman Milling, the great naturalist, had time to write that! I had thought that he might he a great singer, but that he should write a musical comedy! lie’s made a grea success of it on the side, they say. Preston was telling me this. And. Preston, are you fiddling Chap's music for Helen to dance by? I asked him. He’s only a banker, he tells me. but. from my neighlior on the right. 1 learn that Preston is a great man in hanancial circles. “Got a head on him, said my neigh- bor. slangilv. “Good gracious, Haynie. W hen «lid you learn to talk like that?” 1 usked Haynie Fields, gaspingly. “Oh! I gotta talk now. I’m a drummer!” “He sure is.” said Frank, joining the conversation. “ and a cracker- jack. too. Believe me! He could sell a tin can to a millionaire. Say, Irene, couldn’t he? S� that resplendent lady is Irene. “Irene’s married to one,” continued Frank. “She’s the society dame of the crowd. Helped Gene with the banquet. That's the chief reason everything is so tine. “Tell me of Frank. Irene,” I lagged. “Oh! I’m nothing but a farmer.” Frank said apologetically. “Nothing but a farmer!” Irene shouted. “Why. he’s made a name for himself, lie’s discovered more new methods of making things grow than I ever have time to learn almut.” “lie’s an Agriculturist with a capital A, put in Haynie. About that time I heard a giggle from the other end of the table. “Pelham?” asked someone with a reminiscent smile. “Sure, it’s Pelham.” said I. “Think of Pelham wasting all those giggles on a minister. “A minister!” everyone echoed. “Yes, didn’t you know Pelham was a model minister’s wile, with ‘Ladies’ Aid and all that sorl of thing, to make her see the serious side of life?” At that moment there was much laughter. Gene had risen to make a speech. And remembering Gene of old, I listened. So this was the Gene who had lectured on Chautauqua platforms to convulsed audiences from coast to coast. This was Gene, the humorist—the Mark Twain of the century. His remarks ended in a roar of laughter, and he was intro- ducing a toastmaster, ‘our famous fellow citizen. Senator McCall. So Mildred turned out to be a suffragette and a senator. That would have been a wild dream in 1919. We thought of suffragettes then as bomb throwers, and women in congress as nuisances, but here was Mildred rising “combining a woman's charm and a man’s clear brain as Gene had said it. when he introduced the senator. And who was this toasting the ladies? Jolly. No other. Jolly, the famous young lawyer, who had won that much-talkcd-of case. Jolly al- ways had a ready tongue, and an aggravating way of twisting around what you said. I can imagine him a successful lawyer. “Fair Ellen”—Coker, says someone aside for Ellen has represented her country for many years as the wife of one of our noted ambassadors, and made a name for herself, as the better diplomat of the two. “Who is the quiet woman to the right of Irene?” I asked myself. Then Mildred introduced Ella Edwards. Ella, who had revolutionized school, and made it a place all children love. “She’s really not Fllla Edwards in private, but she’s such a genius, she can run her own home and superintend a half dozen schools in the bargain. “So Ella’s married? “Muchly married, they say, said Frank. “Well, when a man is as rich as Ella s husband, he can afford to let his wife work herself to death for a school.” She’s resigning soon. said Irene, “Now that she’s got it in running order.—and they are going to tour the world.” “Gee!” said someone appreciatively. “Edward Wells! There you are. sitting up there as modestly as if you weren’t a famous chemist.” said 1. And saying Gee! I wouldn’t have thought it of a man whose best friends were formulas. ‘Ed’.” “Who is this rising?” I asked as an imposing looking man began to speak. James Hoffmeyer, toasting Old St. Johns. He’s a great evangelist now. His reputation is growing with the years.” some one told me. “And who is this toasting the sons and daughters of Old St. John’s?” Oh! Milton. Milton Block. He's the man who owns that great chain of stores, and all the outlying districts, where Helen Mozingo does settle- ment work. She has worked in connection with Klla and her schools, and between them, they’ve done wonders down there. Helen has organized clubs and better housing conditions, and I don’t know what- hear she’s been offered the Chair of Economics time and time again in different colleges, but she loves her work, and won’t leave it.” Mary Havnesworth has proved a wonder, too. hasn’t she? Yes, she’s with the associated Bed Cross. They moved her to an Atlanta office sometime ago. We certainly do miss her here. She’s a great social favorite, too. Mary knows how to combine fun and serious- ness better than any one 1 know.” “And what of Wylie Conder?” 1 asked Irene, who seemed to know of everyone. You know Wylie was just yesterday elected President of that new Railroad Association. He’s a great railroad magnate, they say. His hobby is farming, though, and he spends all the thousands he makes trying to farm as well as Frank does. Then Irene giggled. “Isn’t it funny about Harry Muldrow?” “Funny alwut Harry Muldrow? Why?” Don’t you go to the movies?” Why. yes. but ” “Well. Harry's the handsome movie star. ‘Guy Temple.’” “No!” I gasped. “Yes. look and you’ll see. And there he sat. ‘Cuy Temple,” and when he laughed I knew him. 1 am sitting up to complete this sketch. Being a newspaper reporter is a habit. I suppose, and even on a holiday, when a fresh looking chap, who introduced himself as John Somebody, and asked me to write the banquet up for “St. John’s Bulletin.’, I haven’t refused.

The old familiar building with all that it typifies of shadow and of sunshine, of pain and of pleasure; each of the class rooms with all that they hold of awe and of delight, we sur- render with the hope that they may mean even more to you. The library, where we have gained so much of our vast store of knowledge, and where we have spent so many happy days, we leave to you as a place of refuge and an exhaust for all pent- up emotions and anger against the world in general. Our campus with its lordly trees, giant sentinels, keeping watch over all that has transpired, the fountain, the benches, the playgrounds are all yours now, and we can only wish that they may hold as dear a place in your lives as they have in ours, and that your lives may be nobler and greater living under the shadow of St. John’s.

Intermediate Grade Pimm ry Grades 01 R In reviewing our activities of the past year, in order to present them to the public in this little volume, which echoes the l� est of our aspira- tions and achievements, we find that we have a war record of which we are very proud. laist year when the Annual was published our numer- ous campaigns were in full swing. But we felt then that our efforts were just beginning, and while this subject lay very close to our hearts, only casual reference was made to it. Therefore, in presenting our record we give it as whole, not confining ourselves to the accomplishment of the present year alone. In the fall of 1917 a realization of the fact that America was at war was brought home to us as from time to time we looked upon the length- ening Honor Rolls as they appeared in the Bulletin, giving the names of those of St. John’s sons who had allied themselves with some branch of the service. These Honor Rolls and the sight of our comrades in uniform fired us with the determination that we. too, should stand behind our country in her hour of need, and that we should find every opportunity of expressing our patriotism with eagerness and vigor. When the war came to a close we were still surging forward, sure that our most zealous and fruitful efforts were yet to come. The student body of St. John’s has totaled in loans to the government, contributions to the Red Cross, and to stricken Europe the splendid sum of $31,636.33. The results of these activities itemized are as follows: The first call came to us from the Red Cross, when the Junior mem- bership campaign and the drive for local funds were made. $14-1.08 was the amount actually given through our superintendent to the committee. In reality much more than this amount was subscribed by us. and many small amounts were contributed individually as a result of appeals made through the schools. Just how much this was it is impossible to ascertain. AR RECORD The French Orphan fund met with instant response, and St. John's is now the proud foster-parent of seven of the fatherless children of France, having: contributed three hundred dollars toward their welfare. The call from Armenia and the far Fast resulted in the collection of eightv-eight dollars. $8,754.25 was invested in War Savings Stamps, and $22,350 in Liberty Loan Bonds. In response to the appeal of the government. 150 pounds of tin foil and two barrels of peach pits and nut shells were collected. In addition to our financial support, we have endeavored to co-operate with our executives in using the schools as a medium through which appeals might be made to the community. Two Junior speakers were furnished the Liberty Loan committee; and an entire program and its personnel were furnished to the Thrift Stamp committee to Ik used in the rural schools during its drive. Scores of tireless stamp salesmen were al- ways busy. e have tried to practice ami to preach the doctrine of thrift. Through numerous meetings of our Literary and War Savings societies and through our entertaining little plays we have disseminated among fellow students and patrons our enthusiasm for and our interest in these various war activities. We have worked always as a unit— from the small patriots of the primary department through the high school. We believe. too. that the enthusiasm of our endeavors have devel- oped us to the point where we may claim to be 100 per cent. American— a student ! ody alert to the needs of our country, eager to serve and proud of the fact that we have made for ourselves a record of service. ST. JOHN’S LITERARY SOCIETY. First Term.

We were very sorry to learn on De- cember 10, thru telegrams sent Mr. and Mrs. K. I . Llde by the War Department, that their son. Henry Reeves bide, had been severely wounded while In active service in France. Tills occurred on the loth of November, during the las: hours of fighting—the same day on which several of our tm.vs were wounded. Mr. Lide has been unable to obtain further information as to the nature of his son's wounds or of his present con- dition. but Is still making every effort to find out something more definite. Henry Lidc lias seen active service during almost the whole of his enlist- ment. having sailed on the 27tli of July, just two months after having been called to the colors. He was with the 232nd Infantry, Slst Division. Ills father and mother were kept con- stantly In touch with him. thru his let- ters. until shortly before the armistice was signed. Henry was a member of the class of 1907 at St. John’s, and later attended Mefeat’s Business College in Columbia, after which he accepted a position with the Edwards Wholesale tirocery. where he remained until the 25th of last May. His many friends hope to hear very soon that his wounds were less serious than reported and that he may be back in Darlington before very long. We were also grieved to learn of the wound of Adger Mozingo on November 9. Mr. Mozingo has heard, however, that (Continued on Page 1) FIRE EXTINGUISHER FAILS TO EXTINQUISH Experiment's Failure Causes Mirth in Chemistry Class. An experiment with the acid-soda ex- tinguisher the other day resulted in a flat failure, either from | oor manage- ment or poor ingredients. Mr. Law was so kind as to lend us Ills large extin- guisher for the experiment. A large fire was started in the waste paper barrel and allowed to burn brightly, then the extinguisher was turned on and expected to put out the fire by the formation of carbon dioxide from toe contact of sodium bicarbonate with sulphuric acid. The result of tills contact is i xpressed by Ihti following equation: 2X HC03 plus HSOl equal Na2S04 pius C02 plus 21120. We are quite sure that with a little study our readers will easily understand this simple equation. But somehow either the gas refused to form or did not form In sufficient quantities to outen the fire. The Maze burned merrily while Stuffy held the squirming hose on the flame, altho we noticed that tin- stream occasionally directed itself toward the beaming countenance of Handsome lloffy. By this time, according to the theory, the flames should have been stifled, but still they burned merrily. At last, however, after several of the young ladies' skirts had lieen soaked, our fresli collar had been ruined and sodium bicarbonate solution plus HSOl” had run Its course down Ed's cheeks the fire died down—apparently. But alas when all the 2XaHC03 plus HSOl had gone a bucket of aqua pura (Continued on Pago I) HIGH SCHOOL ELEVEN HAS SUCCESSFUL TRIP St. John’s Boys Put Up Good Game Against Sumter High School. On Friday. December «� , the High School football team met the Sumter team at the fair grounds In Sumter. Both teams were very evenly matched, therefore, the game was hard fought and very exciting. At no time could one he convinced who would he the vic- tor. We are sorry to say that in the last few minutes of play Rill Boatwright our strong left tackle, had to he removed from the game on account of a sprained ankle. Following is a brief sketch of the game by quarters : First Quarter. The game started by Darlington re- ceiving a kick off from Sumter. In about three downs the ball went over to Sumter on her 7'� yard line. Darl- ington gained possession of the hall and made first and ten. Sumter got ball on fumble made by Darlington. As the result of another fumble Darlington gained the hall, taking It to their 65 yard line. Here the first quarter was up. Second Quarter Tlie Darlington lads failed to gain tirst and ten. so the ball changed hands. Sumter tried several torward passes, one of which was Intercepted by a Darling- ton player, who carried the ball for a touchdown. Sumter received a kick off from Darlington. The first half ended with tlie hall in the middle of the field and the score of � � to 0 in favor of Darl- ington. Third Quarter. Darlington kicked off to Sumter. After tiie hall changed sides a few times. Sum- (Continued on Page 3) MUSIC HATH ITS CHARMS. BUT— When the Fourth High School has an examination on solid geometry (the merits of which are extolled by 0. U. Denius in liis poem in this issue) it Is not meet that music swell tlie breeze.” The windows were opened on Friday, tlie 13th unlucky day—and the mem- l crs of the Fourth were engaged in the arduous task of proving that the opposite sides of a parallelopiped are equal and parallel. Alack, we could not continue undisturiied for long. Recess came and with it. troubles galore. But we with stood the whoops of the First High School poyx. dragging some unhappy rat” to the ditch. We were deaf to tlie racket of tlie outside world until soft and silvery notes ascended and stole thru our window and into our hearts. Ah! Ulysses, we sympathize with you, the siren's note is discord as compared to that of a Third High girl. But. woe is me. our exam must be stood, and how could we stand it with the golden strains of tlie newest rag ringing on our alert tympanums? Suddenly upon the music a gruff and well-known voice broke. I move that we shut that window. Twas too much for our shattered nerves, it became our painful duty to shut down the window. And right here we want to say a word or apology to tlie vocalists: Their singing was much preferable to that exam, but business liefore pleasure.” saith tlie wise guy. The Fourth expects to request all those young ladies soon to sing for tlie class and we trust they will not be so rudely interrupted next time. BOY SCOUTS DARLINGTON, S. C.

With affectionate interest we have watched the classes, one by one, go out from the halls of old St. John’s into the broader fields of life. Our hearts have been filled with good wishes for their success, as we eagerly noted their progress, their triumphs, and their victories. Whether they have devoted more of their years to higher education, assumed business or professional duties, or have gone into the service of their country, they have made records worthy of our highest praise and deepest interest. For us who remain behind, striving to climb the same ladder which they are climbing, the ladder to success and honor, they have left most worthy examples. Wherefore, as a pledge of our good fellowship, our love, and our loyalty, to our Alumni, we dedicate this page. 1918 DIRECTORY Blackmon, Robert I ce ............. Brown, Evander Ervin ..............
