Text from Pages 1 - 60 of the 1951 volume:

ST. JtlllVS lllfill SCHOOL The old trees spread their shelt'ring wings, The creek is softly flowing; A Southern sky looks kindly down, A Southern breeze is blowing Chorus St. John's dear Alma Mater, Beloved e'en from childhood days, Distance can ne’er divide us, Nor time dull our loyal praise. The torch that you have lit for us Our ways will e’er be guiding; - The lessons you have taught to us Within our hearts abiding. V When we go forth at life’s stern call, We still shall hear you saying; From out the path that duty marks Our feet shall ne’er be straying. 2 TO JEROME F.

CLASS FLOWER Red Rose CLASS COLORS Royal Blue and White CLASS MOTTO Tis education forms the common mind: Just as the twig is bent the tree’s inclined. -Pope 16 When we, the class of ‘51, entered St. John’s High School in 1946, we were undoubtedly the greenest bunch of bewildered sub-freshman that ever wandered through the halls of St. John’s. We were greeted by Mr. Cain and Mr. Marshall, our new principal and superin- tendent. Mr. Boggs was also new on the faculty. Although all three of these men scared us nearly to death, we soon learned to know and appreciate them. Never to be forgotten was Rat Day. The girls had to go barefoot, wear little paper sacks for hats, and go without hair clamps. The poor boys were black and blue for days from their initiations. Despite all this, we grew to love high school. The next year, we cocky freshmen pitied the poor little eighth graders but stood in awe of Mr. Marshall, Mr. Cain, and the seniors. That year the boys’ basketball team lost out at lower state but the girls’ team, on which a few of us were very lowly substitutes, won state championship. That year, since there was no regular graduating class, many trad- itional activities were not held. We returned from vacation in 1948 very much excited. Our American Legion Jr. base- ball team had not only won State championship, but also defeated the champions of Georgia and Alabama. Some of our classmates proudly sported the flashy blue jackets and gold baseballs of the champs. We were really getting up in the world! That year, the National Honor Society sponsored an annual which was the first for a long, long time, and the first 12th grade class graduated. In September of ‘49, we suddenly found ourselves Juniors. Oh! what a busy year! Because the annual magazine sales didn’t net nearly enough money, we had to find another source of revenue. We decided, at one of our numerous class meetings, to stage an in- door carnival. After much preparation, we presented the carnival. It was a howling success! No one will ever forget our Junior-Senior. We were late setting a date, late planning, late ordering materials, late decorating, and even late starting. It was worth it, though. Our “Ballroom in the Sky’’ was just heavenly! Next came graduation! Now we could actually participate in class day, for all the Junior girls were in the daisy chain and a few of the boys were Marshals. Remember how it rained and how good the stage looked as a steamboat? We saw the seniors graduate with a mixed feeling of sorrow and joy. Although we would be the “wheels’’ now, it would seem strange without our old seniors. After a brief summer, we returned to St. John’s for the last lap of our journey. There was oh! so much to talk about when we got back! --the Southern 500, Korea, Lineman and Back of the Week, nominations in which we were well represented, and -- St. John’s had a band! (And what a band)! The majorette corps also created plenty of excitement. To top all this off, on the night of the band’s debut, our two year old Student Council sponsored a Homecoming Celebration. Time sped quickly by with everyone well occupied with sports, short stories, research themes, and the like. We stopped briefly to enjoy a great Junior-Senior. Thank’s, Juniors. The annual came out soon after May Day. Then came those last wonderfully hectic two weeks--Senior exams, Baccalaureate Sermon, Senior Chapel, Class Day, and Graduation. Our five years at St. John’s have been, on the whole, carefree, but now we face more serious days. We go forth to a world filled with chaos. We must right the wrongs of our fathers. Wc will be the new citizens of the United States. We give our thanks tothe faculty of St. John’s for guiding us and helping us to become better citizens. Nancy James Class Historian CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1951, do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament.

Marshall William Cain Jacquelyn Douglas 19 Ila Ruthven Elizabeth Carrigan Class Lawyers CLASS PROPHECY In June, 1961, when the nation’s ten most outstanding and amazing women for the previous year met in Chicago for their first convention, we MARY MURRAY PAULLING, and SARA PAUL- INE JACKSON, discover to our utter bewilderment, that we both are included among the ten-- Mary Murray, for abolishing all Skid Rows in big cities, and Sara Pauline, for revolutionizing education in South Carolina. After seating ourselves for the first meeting, we glance over the program, and notice that RUBY ODOM, ingenious woman inventor, is guest speaker for the morning session. Immediately we inform Ruby of our presence and arrange to have dinner with her at the Spray of Flowers, a famous restaurant, owned and managed by RAY FLOWERS. Per- forming there at the time, we know, is the renowned JAMES GAINEY Band, giving off with the Smoothest music on any side of Heaven. ’ That evening, over a delicious meal prepared by the head chef, EUGENE COOKE, we begin to reminiscence of high school days at St. John’s and wonder about our classmates. Ruby then tells us of her most recent invention, the Radarized Rubyniscent, which would enable us to con- tact former classmates. Next morning in our suite in the exclusive Marian Virginia Hotel, owned and operated by JENNINGS ALLEN and MARIAN LAWHORN, we turn on the Rubyniscent which has been expertly installed by ROGERS QUICK, GE’s most skillful electrician. After inserting into the Rubyniscent a specially engraved plate of St. John’s 1951 graduates, which had been prepared by CLYDE GARDNER of the Stone Engraving Company, we settled down for an interesting visit with our old classmates. The first person to appear on the Rubyniscent screen is RUTH PURVIS, the private sec- retary of WILLIAM BOATWRIGHT, newly-elected governor of New York State. After our inter- view with them, BETTY BOSWELL relates the story of how she reached the top as a great Metropolitian Opera singer, giving most of her credit to MARY LEE MIMS, her piano accom- panist and companion. In New York, also, is MARIE SPIVEY, who has just returned from a fashion show in Paris, where she was chosen best-dressed woman in the world. Next, we tune in to find that MARILYN GRAHAM, secretary to NBC-TV has arranged through ILA RUTHVEN, BILL MARSHALL’S publicity manager to have Bill, who is a talent scout, and his show appear daily on the JACKIE WARREN Cosmetic program. The dial flicks, and we find ourselves in Washington, D. C. , where LODD1E NEWSOME, Congresswoman from South Carolina, is fighting vigorously to get a bill passed prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to women. In Washington at this time also is MACK STOKES, United States Ambassador to Korea. The next place to which our Rubyniscent takes us is Baltimore, Maryland. There WILMA HONNEY is Superintendent of Nurses, Dr. CARROLL WATFORD is head surgeon and JEAN BYRD and BARBARA HATCHELL, co-discoverers of the 100th element, St. Johnium, are lab technicians---all at Johns Hopkins’ Hospital. Traveling far westward we reach Hollywood, California. Here BILLY HILL is producing a drama, Blown with the Breeze, ’ starring ELISABETH SHUMAN, in her most magnificient and daring role. TOMMY STURGEON, who is routing Alan Ladd for his place in ithe box office, is playing opposite Elisabeth in this exciting picture. Visiting in California at the time is NANCY JAMES and her billionaire husband, who are talking a three-year cruise around the world. The scene on the Rubyniscent changes, and we are delighted to find ourselves in South Caro- lina. The first city we visit is historical Charleston. Around at the Citidel we have a talk over the screen with RAY CARNES, who is teaching mathematics there. Also in Charleston is HENRY HOFFMEYER and we discover that he is president of the new DuPont Plant which has been built recently. Hartsville comes next on our screen tour. At the high school we find BILLY GORE coaching their football team to victories over Darlington. At the head of the Coker College Commercial Department is BETTY PEARCE, who writes textbooks in her spare time. GENELLE HENDERSON is manager of the entire Coker Department Store, and many improvements have been made since she took over. 20 Last, but far from least, the Rubyniscent brings us to Darlington. Quite a number of 1951 graduates remained here. HEYWARD and HOWARD TUNSTALL are no longer the quiet, shy fellows they were in high school, but form the fiery partnership of the Tunstall and Tunstall Law Firm. MIRIAM JEFFORDS and BETTY JEAN ADAMS are their private secretaries. Still in politics is ELIZABETH CARRIGAN, who is serving as mayor of the city. We are unable to contact MELVIN EVANS, because his duties as sheriff of Darlington County keep his away from the office so much, but his deputy, DAN BOAN, tells us that he’s doing a remarkable job of chasing crime from the boundaries of the country. TALLUALAH NEWSOME, residing in her Black Creek Estate, is completing her latest book, “Hints on Public Speaking ’. NELLIE KELLY is her secretary and her sole duty is to spell words. RALPH DIXON is running a non-stop helicopter service between Darlington and Florence. ALAN HUDSON and BOBBY COOKE are his chief pilots with a ten year record of no hits, plenty of runs, and few errors. Looking so attrac- tive in blue-gray uniforms and acting with the grace and charming ways of Southern belles are stewardesses MAKY BELLE DEWITT, SARA WELCH, VIVIAN ANDERSON, and LOUISE BLACK- MON. At MARY LOU BYRD’S Academy for Girls, RALPH CARNES, ex-professional football star, is coaching Dennis, a form of tennis he revised for girls. The buildings of this lovely preparatory school were drawn by JIMMY MCJUNKIN, the Carolinas leading architect, and constructed by JOHNNY MASON’S Constructing Company. Green and rolling are the campus lawns, planted and kept by CHESTER MCQUEEN and JOE BOOTH--landscaping is no task for them. Before leaving Darlington the screen pictures the thriving business section once again, and the interior of VIRGIL DAVIS’ one-man barber shop. He has invented a chair which lathers, shaves, and brushes the men. We thought beauty parlors were the only vicinities of gossip, but Virgil told us that the husbands of JOYCE WEATHERFORD and REBECCA CASON said they were complaining of not having time to complete their household duties. It seems the girls pay too much attention to CHARLES LANGLEY and his Lovable Croon Lads over station FSJS, owned and operated by OLIN KIRVEN and HARRY FREEMAN. ROBERT SPIVEY and HAROLD TIM- MONS, who owned an interest in the station previously, sold it out when they went to serve as officers in the U. S. Navy. Leaving Davis’, the Rubyniscent ventures next door to the swanky dress shop, Summer Garden, operated by HELEN SUMMERS and ANNE GARDNER. The machine automatically turns off and we know all our classmates of 51 have been con- tacted. We are overcome with joy to find our former classmates so prosperous and contented. The convention is nearing a close, so we decide to do some more reminiscing at another time. We have to return to our respective jobs and fulfill the wants and desires of the people.

Dressed in flashing blue uniforms, provided by the Civic Clubs of Darlington, the band was most impressive and was lustily cheered by parents, friends, and school- mates, who thus witnessed the realization of their dreams. Led by a capable major and two high-stepping majorettes, the band participated in the Darlington and Florence Christmas Parades, the Hartsville Home- coming Celebration, and the Governor’s Inaugural Parade in Columbia. Mr. Glenn Hubbard, band director, took several individual members to a state band clinic where four of them placed with their respective instru- ments. 37 Dick Wallace, Vice President; Elisabeth Shuman, Treasurer; Ann Boatwright, President; Billy Jones, S.C.

The team is proud of the fact that Hurry Up.” Harry Blackmon was selected to play in the Shrine Bowl Game, and also the only high school back in the state to be selected Back of the Week twice. Bobby Cooke, Harold Timmons, Ral,,h Carnes, and Ralph Dixon were selected to play in the Tobacco Bowl in Florence, which is a high honor for any high school player.

Several of the games this season were truly heartbreakers--our boys losing by one big point. At present their record stands: 9 wins, 8 losses, 1 tie. 46 FIRST ROW: Nancy James, Lib Carrigan.

The girls have not been quite as successful as the boys thus far this year, but Miss Coward has done a grand job with the girls considering that this is the first year that she has worked with them. Possibly the team will do better next year. The girlshave lost several games by just a few points. With a heavy schedule mostly behind them, the girls thus far have 7 wins, 7 losses, and 1 tie.

Only three players were lost from last year’s team through graduation. The team will have two fine pitchers in Heyward and Howard Tunstall. Last year Darlington was defeated in the battle for the State Championship by New- berry. With fine ball playing, the team should be one of the top teams in the state again this year. 48 St. John’s Tennis team last year was very good. This year St. John’s should have a team just as good or better than last year’s team, because only one player was lost by graduation. Tommy Yates and Jim- my Bailey were runners-up in the state tournament which was held at P. C. College. Many new players were added to the team. They ought to improve over a year’s time. St. John’s should have one of the better teams in the state this year. FRONT ROW. Billy Mac Bunch, Jimmy Bailey, Mack Edwards, Harris Marshall.
