CRUTCHFIELD FOREWORD As our school year draws to a close, we pause to reflect upon the events we have experienced, the friends we've made, and the happiness we've shared--all of which we shall never forget. The triumphs, the disappointments; the laughter, the tears; the fun of par- ticipation and the pleasure of achievement are all recorded here in this yearbook. To present a lasting record of school occurences and to per- petuate the imprint we've made on this school and community, we the Class of '63, leave this Saints' Scroll. With Longfellow, we leave behind us . . . Footprints on the Sands of Time.

Its members are elected by classes from the student body and hold office for the school year. In addition to this, the Student Council has adopted an orphan, entertains the football teams after home games, sponsors Homecoming and May Court, and takes the responsibility for elections of student body officers, cheerleaders, and Homecoming and May Queens. The Student Council is responsible for ar- ranging for assembly programs. In order to meet its obligations, the Student Council must make some money. For this reason, and for the con- venience of the students, the Student Council sells paper and pencils at school and programs and shakers at the foot- ball games. 12th Grade Betty Tolleson Gene Miller Representatives 10th Grade Faye Fulmer Jimmy Wise 8th Grade Nancy Ott Sammy Reid 11th Grade Kaye DeMars Buddy Lowder 9th Grade Sandra Mack Charles DeWitt Advisor: Miss McKenzie l£HARACTER CLUB BETA Sandra Prevatte President Mrs. Elizabeth Nelson Margaret Ann Smoak Secretary-Treasurer Nancy Crook Vice-President f Thomas Knight Dorothy Ann Kay Zeigler Geiger Reta Ann Rebecca Wiles Smith Aurelia Ott it Millie Brenda Keefe Yelman « Owens Nelson Kathryn Ayers Anne- Smoak Ann Frazier mmim 7 .

The purpose of the organi- zation is to promote the ideals of honesty, service, and leadership among high school students of America, to reward meritorius achievements, and to encourage and assist students to continue their education after high school. The members of the Beta Club have been working unusually hard this year. For their money making project, they held a very successful car wash. Betas have presented three short skits in chapel and entertained the football teams after a game. The club has an informative program on matters pertaining to everyday problems for teenagers at every meeting. Everyone had an exciting time at the convention in February. They stayed at the Jefferson Hotel in Columbia, the center of the convention. YELLOW JACKET PUBLISHED EVERY 6 WEEKS BY THE STUDENT BODY OF ST. MATTHEWS HIGH SCHOOL ST. MATTHEWS. S. C.

Baseball and track are Spring sports which have been omitted from previous Saints’ Scrolls because of the difficulty of getting a picture of the teams before the season starts. St. Matthews always has a baseball team which usually completes a successful season. In the last several years, boys have become interested in track and most of the boys participating in this sport have won either district or state recognition. re We hope that more interest is created in these two sports and that a larger percentage of S. M H S students will participate in future years. TRACK TEAM 1st ROW (L. to R.) Kenny DeWitt, Lewis Beckham, Frankie Wise, David Shuler, Eddie Scott, Mr. Guerry Coach. 2nd ROW; Jackie Bozard.

Sen- iors for the past several years, have had as their main objective making money for their annual Senior trip to Washington and New York in June. They began their money-making projects by sell- ing Christmas cards. Then came the annual supper before a rain-soaked homecoming football game. Seniors going on the trip have also been paying class dues every week. With the coming of graduation, they will be sep- arated in their daily activities, but they will be to- gether in their school memories of the halls of ole St. Matthews High.

BEST ALL AROUND Anne Matthews and Steve Heape OUR SCHOOL The History of The Senior Class of 1963 as told by St. Matthews High School To those who pass me every day I'm just a red brick building where students spend each day from 8:15 A. M. until 3:00 P. M. But to the Seniors of St. Matthews High School. Class of 1963, I will ever remain their Alma Mater. For you see, for twelve years, they have studied in my classroom, eaten in my cafeteria, and participated in sports on my athletic field and in my gym. So now, if you’ll spare me a little of your time, I'd like to give you the history of MY Seniors. This year, their last, has proved to be their busiest. The first big project they launched was their annual supper before the Homecoming game. They departed from tradition with this supper. Instead of barbecued pork, they served barbecued chicken. Due to the leadership of their officers, many members of the class, their parents, and their sponsor, Mrs. Crutchfield, this supper was a success. Then before a rain-drenched spectator stand the annual Homecoming game and ceremony was held. Senior players and their sponsors were: Steve Heape and Kathy Smith; Gene Miller and Ann Fraizer; Lynn Ray Porth and Millie Keefe; Ronnie Barnes and Rene Pendarvis; and Nathan Oliver and Kathy Riley. Kathy Smith, a junior, received the Homecoming crown. This year was one for making changes around my grounds and in my rooms. Educational Tele- vision was installed and many of my seniors this year had classes on T. V. There was a College Alge- bra class on T. V. for seniors only. One other change which brought a few groans was the lengthening of the school day 45 minutes. 48 Outstanding members of this class selected by students and faculty are: President, Nathan Oliver; Vice Presi- dent, Sandra Prevatte; Secretary. Anne Matthews; Treasurer, Sylvia Zeigler; D. A. R. Good Citizenship Award. Sandra Prevatte; Senior Miss Hi Miss, Kathy Riley; Danforth Foundation I Dare You Award. Sylvia Zeigler and Steve Heape; Editor of SAINTS' SCROLL, Anne Matthews; Editor of YELLOW JACKET, Kathy Riley; Head Cheer- leader, Anne Matthews; Senior Cheerleaders, Rene Pendarvis and Kathy Riley; Football Co-Captains, Lynn Ray Porth and Steve Heape; Girls' Basketball Co-Captains, Sylvia Zeigler and Rene Pendarvis; Boys' Basketball Cap- tain, Lynn Ray Porth; President of Student Body. Steve Heape; Delegate to State Student Council Convention, Betty Tolleson; Student Council Representatives, Betty Tolleson and Gene Miller; Senior Beta Club members, Sandra Prevatte, President, Anne Matthews, Betty Tolleson, Kathy Riley, Steve Heape; President of Future Teach- ers of America, Betty Tolleson; FHA Reporter, Rene Pendarvis. Senior Bus Drivers are Darlene lams, Margaret Wannamaker, Bobby Craig, Bobby Huffman, Billy Mack, Ronnie Barnes, Lynn Ray Porth, Ted Pound, and Marvin McCants. Senior football players were Nathan Oliver, Steve Heape, Ronnie Barnes, Lynn Ray Porth. and Gene Miller. Senior Basketball players were Rene Pendarvis, Kathy Riley, Anne Matthews, Sylvia Zeigler, Betty Tolleson, Lynn Ray Porth, Nathan Oliver, and Steve Heape. In 1962, as juniors, they elected as their officers: President, Steve Heape; Vice-President. Sylvia Zeigler; Secretary, Anne Matthews; and Treasurer, Nathan Oliver. During this year they experienced the money worries and problems of a turkey supper and magazines sales to finance a Junior-Senior. And my goodness! They worked so hard on those decorations in my gym for that Junior-Senior. Their theme was An Evening in Paris. It was complete with the Eifel Tower drawn by one of their talented classmates. Rene Pendarvis. She is quite an artist. And too--there’s a night when they were decorating that no one will ever forget. That was the night that Gene Miller, Lynn Ray Porth, and Delano Driggers planned a surprise for them. It was just that, too! After Junior-Senior came May Court. Anne Matthews represented this class as Maid of Honor. Other repre- sentatives from the junior class were: Sylvia Zeigler, Jo Anne Furtick, Steve Heape, and David Haigler. At the 1962 Commencement Exercises Anne Matthews received the D. A. R. American History Award. Marshals for this commencement program were: Sandra Prevatte, Kathy Riley, Anne Matthews, Betty Tolleson, Steve Heape, aod David Haigler. Other outstanding members of their class were: Vice President of Student Council, Lynn Ray Porth; Cheerleader, Kathy Riley, and Boys’ State Representatives, Lynn Ray Porth and Steve Heape. From 1962, we move backward in their high school years to the tenth, ninth, and eighth grades. In the tenth grade, under the direction of their teacher, Mrs. Tompkins, they presented a Christmas play The Vision. This play was presented twice, once to the student body and then to the public. This play was a big success. During this year some of their more studious members were initiated into the Beta Club and attended the annual Beta Club convention in February which was held in Columbia. They were: Sandra Prevatte, Betty Tolleson, Anne Matthews. Kathy Riley, and David Haigler. In the ninth and eighth grades they spent most of their time adjusting themselves to high school life. In the ninth grade they had their first chance to take part in a student body election and Kathy Riley was elected Secre- tary-Treasurer of the Student Body. OUR GYM 49 CLASS HISTORY Going back still further into their history, we find them now in the seventh grade. Their teachers were Mr. Crider and Mrs. Deaton. At their graduation, Sandra Prevatte and Steve Heape received the Good Citizenship Awards given by the American Legion. In the sixth grade their teachers were Mrs. Wannamaker and Mrs. Hooker. During that year, under the di- rection of Mrs. Hooker, they presented an Operetta, In the Land of Dreams Come True. Then in the fifth grade, they had as their teachers, Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Curtis. It was here in the fifth grade, with the help of Mrs. Robinson, they began saving money toward their high school fund for their junior and senior years. The money they made selling paper and pencils was deposited in the bank with an account entitled Graduating Class of 1963. In the fourth grade Mrs. Hiott and Mrs. Ulmer gave them their first taste of examinations and six weeks' test. They survived by some miracle, as you see, to become seniors several years later. In the third grade Mrs. Baxter and Miss Betty Ulmer, now Mrs. Brandenburg, taught them multiplication tables, reading and REAL writing. Many remember the stories of The Bobbsey Twins that Mrs. Baxter used to read after lunch every day. In the second grade Mrs. Gilliam and Miss Johns were their teachers. These were the years when the first and second grades were in my basement in the high school building. The old lunch room was here also. We have now gone back in time to the year 1951. These seniors were, in 1951, just beginning their long trip to the twelfth grade. They were entering the first grade! And my goodness-- you would’ve thought the teachers had horns, because they were scared little boys and girls. But, their teachers. Miss Holman and Mrs. Felder, proved to be wonderful teachers and began to prepare them and give them a foundation for their com- ing school years. They even learned to count to 100! And every one of them remembers the apple crates in Miss Holman's room. So, over the years, I, St. Matthews High School, have watched my seniors of 1963 grow and mature into fine young men and women. Some have come to join the class and some have left. Those who joined and remained until now were Anne Matthews, who moved to St. Matthews from Chester in the third grade, and Wyman Fulmer, from Bowman who joined them this year. During their junior year they lost a long-time member of their class, David Haigler. David moved to Columbia. So, friends, this is my history of MY seniors of 1963. This will go into my book of memories along with the histories of classes who have gone before them. They will always remember me as more than a red brick building, for I'am St. Matthews High School......their Alma Mater. so Our Lunchroom ALMA MATER swift- ly as a gale; Hail to thee our Al - ma Ma- ter I Hail, St. Matthews , HailJ Getting nowhere fast.
