CtUn oes The IlisForg oF Class ’28 Long, Long Ago “Just think, Annie Louise, it has been twenty years today since we stood with our classmates and received our diplomas, and yet I can close my eyes and picture that never-to-be-forgotten day. It seems only yesterday! Laughter, happy faced boy and girl graduates, flowers, music and proud parents; I see it all again. Let us go back even further than that to the day when we entered school reluctantly, as awkward children, behind our mother’s skirts to Miss Martin's room. We were frightened almost out of our 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. “Truly ours was an age of ignorance. We seemed never to understand what Mr. Daniel meant when lie said ‘Keep off the terraces, children.’ Do you remem- ber the time we were rolling down them when who should appear on the scene but Mr. Daniel? You remember when he asked us to see him in his office that Tiny, for some mysterious reason, became suddenly ill and had to go home.” “And Bernice, have you forgotten the time that Virginia walked pompously into the room in' her new pink gingham conscious of the many admiring glances which she was receiving. But alas, the admiration turned to smothered laughter when she unconsciously sat in a pool of ink which Bill had mischievously prepared to lower her dignity. As we pause and think of that period (which we may term space) between the first grade and the seventh, we can but think of some of the striking things which we learned. We had not only gained facts and knowledge but we had acquired also the power of ascertaining for ourselves the things which we once considered too difficult. “Oh, that we could have tarried along this dear road. “Oh. that we could have abode longer with those dear companions, our teach- ers, who made the way so pleasant. But no, no such good fortune was to be ours.” “And now September again, and we had only four more mile stones to pass, hirst year High School! What bliss! First High School work is usually diffi- cult but not in the year 1925. “Ninth grade! O yes. Annie Louise, that was the year that Bill, instead of bestowing a kiss upon a certain fair maiden who was expected to pass under some mistletoe, conferred it very affectionately upon the janitor.” “Bernice, we had not preceded far in this grade when we discovered that High School life was not all bliss, but a share of it hard work.” “During III High we struggled through the intricate mazes of a new branch of learning. It was here that we began to show our originality in several ways. Our original French translations threw our teacher into ecstasies of admiration —she always declared that she received new light on many an old passage that year. ()ur clever way of solving our Geometry originals was a phenomenon; at least you remember that is what Mr. Barbare told us. Truly ours was a re- markable class and we stood at last ‘victors upon Junior soil.’ ” “Then to our Senior year! At last we had reached that grade which was our long coveted goal. Looking back over the eleven years we spent beneath the shadow of St. John’s, we cannot but contemplate how our opinion of life and its duties had undergone a complete change. Why, we had actually become dig- nified ! The broad field of opportunity was open before us, the busy world was waiting for our activities and through the guidance of our dear teachers, Misses Brunson, Pettis, Barbare and Harper, we were prepared to meet life’s call.” “Don’t you remember the time that Mrs. Twitty, who captured our hearts by her interest in us, brought a bountiful lunch prepared by kind hands of motherly devotion as a reward for the large attendance of our parents to the Parent-Teach- ers Association? It was even reported that after the feast that the basket in which the sandwiches were sent could not be discovered. You remember, too. that the boys had to sweep up what was left—the crumbs.” “And our History class! How impatient we waited for this period to come. Miss Pettis always said we were ornaments, and of course, ignorant as to its meaning, we sought the dictionary and were immensely pleased with ourselves when we found this definition: ‘or-na-ment i. anything or person considered as a source of honor or credit. 2. a mark of distinction.’ “Bernice, don’t you remember how Joe. for some particular reason, always kept my back between her and Miss Pettis when questions were being asked? Per- haps this position was due to the frequent use of her Tre-jur but I doubt it.” “In English we were recognized as the most remarkable class that had ever been in Darlington High School. You remember Mr. Daniel used to come over often just to be in the room and gather inspiration from our outbursts of eloquence and wonderful recitations.” “Our Senior play was the pride of the town. It was such a great success that we had invitations from all over the country, but as we were Seniors our time was limited and we had to decline most of them.” “Yes, Annie Louise, we did experience the thrills of being the envied of all observers but this could not last always. We had to forge ahead. The parting was inevitable, but may we never forget the days spent at St. John’s. The mem- ories of them will push us toward the goal, stimulate us to good and keep us from evil. “Annie Louise, we were just beginning to live.’’ Bernice Bryant, '28. Annie Louise Smoot, ’28. 9tUV awotj-Spiiul) av oj. saso. 3T5TV Til Disn Stj0hf ,0cs Class Prophecy I was alone in the living room surrounded by textbooks which I had just conquered in my nightly conflict. 1 listened. The rain was pouring on the roof and beating against the panes. How dismal everything was. 1 picked up a copy of the News and Press; the words began to blur and soon flickered from my sight, then everything became clear once more. How strange it all looks, the date most of all—May 15, 1940. What could it all mean? I scanned the pages eagerly, seeking enlightenment. Amid the usual columns of politics and do nothingness of Congress I read strange but interesting news which so burnt itself into my brain that I can now quote it verbatim ! Mayor McCown, recently elected Mayor of Darlington, has begun improving this city bv appointing Mr. Buster Smoot, Chief of Police. Mr. Smoot is al- ready known as “()ur Red-headed Chief. Mr. Orville Stokes, Superintendent of St. John's has informed us that Mr. Claude Martin has been secured as football coach for next year. FIRE IX FOREST CAUSED BY ELECTRIC CURLERS Last Monday morning. Mr. Bob Twitty, forester of Darlington Forest Reserve, saw that a fire had started in the tourist camp located to the west of the Reserve. Mr. Twitty immediately hurried to the scene and by catching in his arms, the girl whose hair was on fire, smothered the blaze. The girl whose name is unknown was on a camping trip with some companions. She had brought along her electric curlers and as the irons were too hot her hair started burning. Friends of Mr. Twitty have sent in his name for a Carnegie medal. ACCIDENT ON MAIN STREET False Teeth Lost Mrs. Tiny Mozingo Doe was tried today for speeding and wrecking a baby carriage. A negro woman, rolling a baby carriage, appeared from behind some cars and as Mrs. Doe’s brakes were not good she ran into the carriage. There happened not to be a baby in the cart but only a week’s washing. The only damage done was that the jar caused the negro to lose her false teeth. Mrs. Doe's lawyer, Mr. Clifford Brown, satisfied the negro by paying her the amount SiJo«°es the teeth would cost as they could not be found after the accident. Judge E. C. Dennis, Jr., imposed a fine of $25.00. Two special features of the Redpath Chatauqua, which will he in Darlington May 20-27, are Miss Josephette Cahill, the grand opera singer, who made her debut at the Metropolitan (Jpera in 1926 and Miss Agnesia Edwards, the world famous cartoonist. MIRACULOUS OPERATION PERFORMED Dr. George Benjamin, head surgeon at the Palmetto Hospital, performed a re- markable operation yesterday on Dr. Joseph Dargan, Professor of Astronomy at Ebenezer College. The operation completely removed his absentmindedness. LONG NON-STOP FLIGHT Pierce Dewitt, one of the greatest aviators of the day, made another long non-stop flight, flying from Dovesville to Society Hill in ten minutes. He carried only a basket of sandwiches and a thermos bottle of hot coffee. Dr. Maybin Wilson the eye, nose and throat specialist, is conducting a clinic for the school children this week. Dr. Wilson is assisted by two capable nurses, Misses Dora Lee Brown and Bramley Boseman. Miss Bernice Bryant, a prosperous farmerette of Darlington County, brought to the News and Press today the first cotton square of the season. Notre Dame has been very fortunate in securing Johnnie James to coach athletics for the season of 1940-41. Misses Emma Gregg Witherspoon and Gladys Sumner, the proprietors of the Glad-Spoon Tea Room, have been very fortunate in securing the services of Miss Edith Law, the National Food Demonstrator. THE HUBBARD Store of Fresh Green Vegetables and fruit. “Let the Hubbard fill your Cup- board.” J. C. Stroud, Jr., Proprietor—Phone 23. John's oes Messrs. Elbert Gardner and Cecil Boseinan have received the contract to build the bridge over the Gulf of Mexico to Porta Rico.

The Darlington girls will play Early’s Cross Roads. Monday and Tuesday “ LOVE Starring RUTH BYRD and RAMOXO NAVARRO Admission 25c and 50c. Hilda Yates—My own name—my own fate at last! But—a crash outside, as of a limb torn from a tree. I start, sit up, listen—all is quiet again, except for the steady drip of rain. 1 pick up the paper again. Alas, date May 15, 1928. and the news, same old news. I realize that I have been given a glimpse of the future of my classmates but, alas, denied mv own. Hilda Yates, ’28.

I � ut not for themselves these treasures most fair! They leave them to others as parting gifts rare. ()ur noble Eel. Dennis, who presides o'er this class, generously leaves to a noisy young lass—Clara I’ell Wilson by name—whose tongue can amaze, his taciturn speech and lackadaisical ways. Oh, Bill, you're an optimist, your hopes are so bright, and Ben Brunson's spirits are blacker than night. To him you should leave your fund of good cheer, that he may find life less dismal and drear. That perpetual grin that lights up his face, and makes him the shiningest light in this place, Cecil bestows to Miss Williams, so grave; and hopes she will teach this grin to behave. Oh, Robin, our Bobbin, has found that it pays to learn the condition of the roads and the ways that lead out to Dovesville. This knowledge, we’ve heard, he leaves with his blessing to young Hazel Byrd. 11 is ability to learn what is printed in books, his painstaking ways and studious looks which have made his career a wonderful thing. George Benjamin leaves to his neighbor. Dan King. As Orville is ready from school to depart, that love of the lasses which has ruled his young heart, he gives to a lad who hates 'em. by gingo. that melancholy misanthrope, James P. Mozingo. John Kilgo. E. Codv and young Roland Tew and any other student who might need some too, Peirce wishes you all to get a full share of his assurance complete and conceit debonair. The dignified, gentlemanly, athletic Claude, whose manner the boisterous fresh oft has awed, bestows his good qualities on one in the ranks—that talkative, un- dignified kid—Willie Banks. Now, Maybin's our Baby Ruth fan, as you know, for this sweet on the teachers he would daily bestow; a supply of this treasure to Miss Barbare we will, to sweeten her temper, when she’s hungry and ill. Our little Mary Kirven's a hard-working lass and reflects lots of honor upon the whole class. Her studious ways, which are stars in her crown, she bestows on the needy, poor Crayton McCown. Hilda, the voluble, and Gladys, the gay, have united to give their treasures away; so their brisk little tongues, which so freely they use, no longer are theirs but are Mechanicsville Hugh’s. CfUn'sE10es We bestow now the gift of our Tiny coquette—it will go to the one who needs it, you bet. llob Coggesliall, who now hates the sight of a skirt, will soon be the school's most famous he-flirt. Each of us gives what to each is most dear, but Mary won’t choose a soul for her heir. She won’t let a Junior her heart’s treasure rob; she'll give tip short locks but hold on to her ISol). There's one in our class, who never gets mad, but meets every crisis with a countenance glad. This good disposition Bernice leaves with her love, to Miss Pettis—and hopes that a blessing ’twill prove. Our pretty Ruth Byrd, her grace doth now leave to one who this gift will gladly receive, our red-headed Wofford, who will then be too spry to walk on the earth, but will take wings and fly. Joe Cahill, the meek, and Dora I.ee, the mild, their meekness and mildness, be- queath to a child. Bee Dennis, by name, who will need them next year, her bark through the rocks of senioritis to steer. Annie Louise, a helpful young maid, who a fairy godmother to the whole class has played, leaves her unselfish heart on memory’s shelf for those in this school, who think only of self. Bramley and Dorothy are hard-headed gals. If you don't believe me, ask their teachers and pals. This obstinate spirit, they’ll exchange for a mule, which they'll leave here to cultivate the plants of the school. His gay, careless spirit and mischievous ways, which have marked Edward Early throughout his school days, he impishly gives to the big boss's boy. John Harrison, we hope they will bring you much joy! Virginia and Edith, ye editors wise, their knowledge of book making now kindly devise to the whole Junior Class, with the hope that their book one-half pulch- ritudinous as ours will look.

Oh Alma Mater! dear to every loyal heart. We could not always know how wonderful thou art Because of daily tasks which shut thee from our sight And of daily pleasures dazzling in their light; But now we pause to look a long good-bye And see thy towering top against the golden sky.

At the supper table his mother asked him what he would have? “I want some chicken,” said he. “Why son, we have no chicken.” Yes you have, too; 1 saw you killing one.” “Oh. that is for breakfast. I’ll give you some chicken for your breakfast, but not for supper.” Shoving his plate from him. he exclaimed, ‘‘Well I don’t want no supper, so give me my break- fast now.” This little fellow of years ago has a daughter in the senior class this year. Who is it? You will have to guess.
