We are, by a very decided margin, the class that has had the most push- ing around, the most changes, and certainly the oddest collec- tion of people ever presided over by a never more gaudier president than William Rogers. Among other things, we hsve had many good times together. You only have to mention the Junior- Senior of ’47• Jake Privette telling Jokes, the Negro orchestra that kept the Joint rocking all night long. Their rendition of There Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens couldn’t be topped. As a group, we are nearing the end of the road; we are soon to go upon our individual ways that are only paths which will broaden into highways as we Journey toward our respective goals in life. When we first entered St. John’s in September ’44 we also saw the arrival of our famed football and baseball coach—Coach Jimmy Welch. And among other things none of us will ever for- get the talk Kiss Brunson gave us in the gym, and all the grand things about a grand lady whose mark will long be felt upon St. John’s, hy, she had her finger on practically everything that went on in the place. It has been said that once you went in her presence and had that never-to-be-forgotten talk, you were changed forever. But all things eventually end, and in the spring of ’46 Miss Brunson and Mr. Daniel left the places which will always be dear to their memories and to ours. These are two people who will never be forgotten by anyone who hss ever known them. When we returned in September, we found Mr. Cain, with his very Charlestonian you people, and Mr. Marshall, who seems to be in the oddest places at the oddest times, waiting to welcome us into a new era at St. John’s. We as a class have many distinctions. We are the first class to have graduated under the 12th grade system. We will probably be the first class to present two gifts to the school. We also saw the Key Club blossom into its own with such notables as Gov- ernor Bundy Bynum of the Carolines District. We also saw the beg- innings of some outstanding basketball, with the boys reaching the Lower-State finals two years and winning it once. The girls were not asleep during this time as they reached the Lower-State finals three times—losing once, winning twice, and bringing back the State Championship once. We also saw some good baseball and foot- ball teams but the achievements in basketball overshadowed the things done in these other two sports. During our stay at our Alma Mater we have seen a good many changes. The solid citizens of the high school haven’t always eaten lunch at the cafeteria in the grammar school. Time was when we bbought crackers and sandwiches at the cracker stand that was across from the outdoor water fountains. Smoking hasn’t always been the thing It is today either. It was a serious offense until Mr. Cain Inaugurated the smoking area in ’46. Truly this class has been in the center of a transitional period the likes of which hasn’t been seen since girls were allowed to get an education along with the boys. This period of transition has taken place both from the standpoint of school personnel and from the school system— namely the twelfth grade. So you can see why it Is right to say that we have been in the midst of a group of major changes at St. J ohn’s. These last five years have been glorious ones. We have enjoyed a period of not too burdensome responsibilities. The imprint of these years Is indelibly stamped upon our lives. Let us make our individual carbon copies reflect on our school and show the good character It shaped for us. Edwin Yarborough, Historian 14 CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1949, being of sound mind and having good sense(that’s a Joke, son) hereby make our first, last and only WILL I, INA QLAIRE BRYANT, leave my acting ability to Lucretia McKey, knowing that some- day Hollywood will be booking her.

We strolled down Spain Street Into the Park, enjoying the new freshness of the season. The last rays of the evening sun hardly penetrated the thick foliage, casting an eerie light throughout the forest. We hastened our footsteps In the direotlon of home when we heard muffled footfalls behind us. Turning, we saw In tattered clothes an old hag bent over her walking-stick. Her cackle rang through the forest as she gllirpsed the terror In our eyes. Fear rooted us to the spot and we were un- able to run as she advanced slowly toward us. Peering for a moment into our startled faces, she cackled again and thrust a small box Into our trembling hands. Without a word she turned and disappeared Into the gathering darkness. Our hearts in our mouths, we fled swiftly out of the park and safely home. After sitting awhile in the bright cheerfulness of the living room, we summoned enough courage to open the box. From the box we took a wrinkled sheet of paper. This is what we read: June 7, 1959 Dear Betsy and Betty Carol, You will be very surprised to find this letter to you dated 1959, but as it seems, this is the prophecy of you and your classmates of the Class of 1949. As I was gazing in my crystal ball last night, this was revealed to me: Roy Peavey is now No. 1 basketball coach of the U. S. His team has won the National Championship for the past three years.
