MATTHEWS, SOUTH CAROLINA r v 1966 - VOL VII -Editor- Patricia Phillips -Business Manager- Bonnie Inabinet -Advisor- Evelyn Crutchfield J ¥ FOREWORD During the last four years when the Alma Mater has been played, a shiver of pride has run up our spines and we have been filled with the Spirit of S. M. H. S, For each student to achieve new heights mentally, morally, and physically, is the aim of S. M. H. S. During the years to come we will look back with pride, happiness, and sadness upon these years. That's what keeps the Spirit of S. M. H. S. alive. Table of Contents Activities 74 4 H. F. Garris, Superintendent Calhoun County, District 1, Schools We Honor Mr. Howard F. Garris To exemplify the traditional spirit of S. M. H. S. is his con- stant desire. In his 18 years as superintendent at St. Matthews High School, Mr. Howard F. Garris has contributed greatly to the development and progress that has taken place. He and his wife, the former Miss Julia Crider, live on Cal- houn Road. Their daughter, Julia Helen (Mrs. Allen B. Cooley, Jr.), is an honor graduate of Columbia College. When he is not at work for the school, Mr. Garris spends his time reading, fishing, hunting, or gardening. Mr. Garris earned a B. S. degree from the Citadel and a C. E. and Master's degree in Engineering from the University of South Carolina. When he became a school administrator, he re- turned to the University of South Carolina for a Master's degree in School Administration. Before coming to St. Matthews, he served as Principal of St. George High School, Superintendent of Bethune School, and Superintendent of Blackville Schools. As a token of our appreciation, we the students at Saint Matthews High School dedicate the 1966 Saints' Scroll to Mr. Howard F. Garris. 5 Mr. Garris is an interested spectator at all athletic contests. Student Life at S.M.H.S. A large crowd of the pep rally before students attended the Allendale game.

Spirit of Achievement Term papers, book reports, daily assignments, and exams keep S.M. H. S. students from forgetting that this is a place of education. We students strive to achieve the goals set for us by the dedicated teachers. As we look back on the year, we are grateful to our teachers for show- ing us the way to knowledge and achievement. 14 Faculty—Those Third Parents 16 In the future when we look back on these years at St. Matthews High School, we will recall those who guided us on the paths of learning. We will realize then that the requirements we thought unreasonable were sincere efforts by our teachers to counsel us while we stumbled along the way. Though, as students, we felt their demands extreme, we will admire them for having the stamina to remain steadfast when we belit- tled them--for their task was great! We were only a few of the many whose lives they influenced; but to us, they will always be a symbol of the beginning of our desire to grow and prepare ourselves for our careers. We are grateful to them for graciously lighting the way to knowledge and understanding so that we may make our generation stand out as a guide post to posterity. MR. H. F. GARRIS Mr. Garris as superintendent of District I schools works with all district schools on teacher employment, general welfare, and operation of the school system. MR. J. B. ALEXANDER Three years of agriculture are taught by Mr. Alexander. He leads the Future Farmers of America organization at S. M. H. S. and guides in home projects. MR. F. W. THOMAS Class schedules, college transcripts, disciplinary prob- lems, and teaching physics are a few of Mr. Thomas's duties. As principal, he helps the stu- dent to outline his school courses. Who Mold Our Character irJh KEEP YOUll CA1 «001 CONDIT MISS WILHELMINA McKENZIE Safety first is a familiar statement in Miss McKenzie’s safety classes. She also has behind-the-wheel driver training in the afternoon for students preparing to take the drivers’ license test. Introducing Algebra to freshmen and teaching business math is part of her task. Through the able advice of Miss McKenzie, the student council has progressed steadily. MR. OTIS S. CULCLASURE Let’s go! Put some life in it.” In physical education Mr. Culclasure’s boys snap to it. As American History teacher, Mr. Culclasure teaches the eighth grade students the story of their country. He is the assistant varsity coach, and he is also coach of the Midget football team, which was undefeated this year. MRS. KATHERINE DEAN American and World History at their most exciting moments are relived in Mrs Dean’s classes. Government is taught to students through political science. The ninth graders are taught social studies by Mrs. Dean. Our men teachers take time out from their busy classroom duties to relax during lunch period. Advice and Help on College MR. H. THAD OTT Equations, formulas, and assump- tions are confusing to some students. In teaching mathematics Mr. Ott ex- plains these principles to students in preparation for college. As head coach he teaches his boys good sports- manship and helps them to develop their skill in order to win games. Mr. Ott, as guidance counselor, helps stu- dents in choosing their high school courses and in advising them about colleges. (L to R) Libby Ann Prickett, India Smoak, Sandra Zeigler, and Molly Riley seem to be interested in Coker College. Palmer, Co- lumbia, Newberry, St. Andrews, Baptist College at Charleston, Bob Jones, Columbia Commercial, Presbyterian, Furman, and Wof- ford were some of the colleges that were represented at this year's College Day. 18 Newberry was one of the most popular colleges represented at College Day. Many of the S.M.H.S. students showed an in- terest in Newberry. Juniors and seniors were given the opportunity to hear representatives of colleges discuss the advantages of the school they represented. College Day is very helpful in aiding a student to make his decision on the school that he will attend upon graduation. BOYS Admission Is Always Available Juniors who plan on going to college usually take the nary Scholastic Aptitude Test. It will prepare them for PSAT in the fall of the year. The PSAT is the Prelimi- the College Board Exam. MR. ROY HIOTT Parlez-vous en francais? The French students of Mr. Hiott’s can say ’’yes ' to this statement. Mr. Hiott also teaches tenth grade English. MRS. DORIS OTT As secretary of the St. Matthews School, Mrs. Ott is al ways busy taking in money from different organizations and classes. The new students are registered by Mrs. Ott. She also keeps the school account and the school activity book. 19 Students look for material for term papers and book reports in the new library. English—The High School Necessity” MRS. PATRICIA MORRIS Book reports, themes, and term papers are familiar words to Mrs. Morris' 11th and 12th grade English classes. She also teaches one section of 10th grade English. Our school pa- per, the YELLOW JACKET, is sponsored by Mrs. Morris. MRS. ELIZABETH NELSON Eighth grade students receive a fundamental background of English from Mrs. Nelson. As librarian she helps the students discover new areas of reading. The Beta Club is led by the able direction of Mrs. Nelson. Look Out Mr. Einstein—Here We Come!” Acids and bases don't mix! Mike Nickells seems to know this already as Mr. Livingston explains it to another student. MR. J. P. LIVINGSTON Lab, worms, and educational tele- vision are all a part of Mr. Livingston's science classes. He teaches general science, biology, and chemistry. MRS. WILLIE BRANDENBURG Science projects are a part of Mrs. Brandenburg's eighth grade science course. She also teaches eighth grade arithmetic. H Labs, a necessary part of chemistry, can also prove to be fun. 21 MR. KENNETH CREEKMORE Hard work and practice is what makes a good band. Under the direction of Mr. Creekmore the S.M. H. S. band has performed very well this year. He also directs our dance band, the SAINTS. Students Have Access to MRS. JEANETTE STABLER Home Economics I, II, III is taught by Mrs. Stabler. She also teaches family living. As the junior class advisor, she has guided the juniors in their activities. Mrs. Stabler is the sponsor of the FHA. The basic fundamentals of basketball are learned in physical education classes. Sandra Robinson and Edwin Wilkes use tape recorder to improve their oral French. Much Valuable Equipment Concentration and practice develop speed and accuracy in typing. Students, especially Libby Ann Prickett, seem to be enjoying their chemistry lab. Lunches are served cafeteria style to students and faculty. ooVe® MRS. EVELYN V. CRUTCHFIELD With her attention centered on business education, Mrs. Crutchfield teaches her students the techniques of typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping. Mrs. Crutchfield has devoted much of her time in helping to make the Saints’ Scroll a success. As senior class sponsor, she guides the seniors’ activities. Graduation exercises are planned under her able direction. 23 Physical and Practical Education Needs Are Met MRS. MARGARET CHASTAIN From the first grade to the tenth, girls develop physical co- ordination by participating in the physical education program. Be- sides being the girls' P.E. teacher, Mrs. Chastain also coaches the girls' B basketball team. MR. RANDOLPH FOGLE Being in charge of the maintenance in all the schools in the dis- trict is a tremendous job for Mr. Fogle who also teaches a class in shop. In the picture above, Mr. Fogle proudly stands by the new Yellow Dog. He worked all summer to get the bus ready for this year's various athletic events. Basketball is the principal winter sport in our physical good sportsmanship and how to get along with their education classes. Not only do the students learn the fellow teammates, rules and principles of several sports, but they learn Lunchroom Serves 550 Lunches Daily Nourishing lunches are served daily by the lunchroom workers. They prepare 550 lunches a day. (L to R) Geneva Pinkney, Jessie Walker, and Mrs. Willie Han- cock prepare food for the lunches while Mrs. Hazel Oliver does the important book work that is involved in having an efficient lunchroom. Not pictured are Annie Johnson and Martha Johnson, two other valuable workers. Study halls provide the students with an atmosphere of preparing to learn. Deep concentration and open minds lead the students in making themselves ready for the future. Bonnie Inabinet, head cheerleader, explains to Mr. Fogle how badly we need a permanent sign on the bridge advertising the ballgames. Steve Zeigler doesn’t seem to have an opinion. Classes. . . Spirit of Scholarship On the following pages are pictured the reasons for St. Matthews High School being all that it is. These are the people who walk its halls, sit in its desks, join its clubs, yell at its games, listen to its teachers, and bring to it honor or shame. The students, so different in so many ways, have one thing in common--they are St. Matthews High School. 26 Sub-Freshmen Adjust Deb Baughman Karen Bozard Linwood Crider Andy Furtick, Jenny Hane, Julian Wiles, Michael Inabinet, and Gladys Crim take time out from recess to prepare for fifth period class.

They start their high school days choosing from such subjects as alge- bra, social studies, French, general science, English, home economics, or agriculture. Their choice must be based on what they plan to do after high school graduation. Thus, the freshmen look forward to a goal of graduation four years ahead.

To kick off the year right, the juniors had a cake sale in September. From this sale, they netted $100. Other fund-raising activities were the annual magazine sale and a turkey supper. The turkey supper was served on Thursday night of American Education Week preceding Open House in the school rooms. Over $300 was cleared from the supper. The most exciting junior project is the annual junior senior in the spring. The juniors entertain the faculty and board of trustees as well as the seniors and their dates.

As this special year draws to an end, we realize that after graduation, we must face the world alone. The future is ours. Will we be able to face the challenge? 38 Seniors Start Final Lap A typical Senior has two faces. One is looking back at the memory of the path he has trod for the past four years. The other faces the future, with all of its uncertainties, its oppor- tunities, and its challenges. Seniors assume responsibility as leaders of many school activities with the reali- zation that they will soon undertake a responsible role in society. A senior’s future is no longer a dream. It has become a definite plan. To him, commencement is the beginning of the future. (L to R) President, Judy Crider; Vice-President, Peter Savitz; Secretary, Ginger Wienges; Treasurer, Hal Inabinet.

With this song as their theme song, the spirited dance band was reorganized. Af- ter auditions and hours of practicing, the dance band was formed near the end of first semester. Mr. Creekmore directs the SAINTS as well as the St. Matthews High School Marching Band. Mr. Creekmore, who plays in a dance band in Charleston during holidays and weekends, has valu- able experience in this field to share with members of the band. The SAINTS hope to play for dances and concerts in the future. Already, they have appeared at May Court and have pre- sented a chapel program. 1965 Junior-Senior—An Evening To Remember Ginny Hodge poses in front of the colonial mansion which was used as a background. Servant Molly Riley and Owens Nelson appear to be truly aston- ished at something. In the Misty Moonlight was the theme of the 1965 Junior-Senior, which was held in the school gymnasium. Alternating colors of blue and silver were used to accent the scene. Two fountains covered with moss and filled with water helped to carry out the theme. When entering, the couples crossed a decorated bridge and were announced by head waiter, Ray Sigmon. Music for the occasion was presented by the Vistas from Charleston. The servants, who were boys and girls from the sophomore class, served a three-course turkey dinner prepared by the lunch- room workers. At midnight the band played their final number ending an evening that will always be remembered. Martha Miller and Edwin Wilkes look forward to a wonderful evening. Alacia Smith and Rufus Inabinet enjoy a friendly talk, as the other couples are signing memory books. 59 Sixteen Girls Compete for Entertaining talent and pretty girls outlined the Yellow Jacket Contest.

S. is perhaps best shown on the football field, the basketball court, the track field, and the base- ball diamond. We are very proud of our teams and the students that support them. Our coaches and players work very hard for our athletic teams. Through their spirit of good sportmanship, they bring honor to our school. 64 1965 Football Team FIRST ROW: Robert Kaiser, Wade Luther, Clifton Ray Sigmon, Frederick Robinson, Fairey Prickett, Mike Fields, Robert Wardlaw, Teddy Weeks, Larry Wanna- Ott, Freddie Stabler, Joe Prevatte.

Yellow Jackets as they hit their opponents hard for victory in the 1965 football season. With the superb record of 9 wins the Yellow Jackets scored a total of 297 points. Under the leadership of head coach Thad Ott and assistant coach Otis Shuler Culclasure the Jackets passed, tackled, and defended their way to finish sec- ond in Conference 7-B. Composed of 12 seniors, 17 juniors, 9 sophomores, and 4 freshmen, the 1965 varsity squad did a great job.

St. Matthews received a trophy as the sec- ond team in the conference. Fullback Jimmy Zeigler received the Best Back Award. Four S. M. H. S. team members made the all-confer- ence first team, and two of the boys made the second team. These individual honors were determined by votes of the ten head coaches in the conference. Many honors, besides those in the confer- ence, were earned for our school this year by members of the football team. Jimmy Zeigler was voted a member of the Orangeburg All- Area Team; he was also selected to play on the Shrine Bowl Team. For the second consecutive year, Jimmy made the All-State first team. A. J. Wise, a junior, made the All-State sec- ond team. 89 Practice and Hard Work Guards Bonnie Inabinet (43), Patricia Phillips (34), and Molly Riley (30) play a tight defense and hold Edisto to 23 points.

Under the coaching of Mr. Thad Ott, the girls' bas- ketball team worked hard and was rewarded each time it won a game. Fifteen girls, who were determined to play the sport well, did not give up to defeat but fought for victory. The seven seniors will miss the friendship, fun, and work that they enjoyed while being on the team. As four-year lettermen, Molly Wannamaker and Patricia Phillips were elected co-captains for the 1965- 66 season. Together, these girls kept the team alive with the spirit of sportsmanship in victory and defeat. During the first twelve games of the season, the girls' team defeated their old rivals Bamberg 17 to 15, and North 33 to 15, and for the first season of play de- feated St. George 25 to 23. After a season of practice and experience, the girls are looking forward to the district tournament in February.

With these words in the minds of our boys they were determined to score against their opponents. Because of these efforts, the fifteen boys who participated steadily improved and were soon more like a basketball machine. The team with five sophomores and four juniors as first-year varsity men faced a rebuilding year after fin- ishing the 64-65 season as the best team in school history and as first runner-up in the conference tourna- ment. After losing the first three games of the season, the young Jackets bounced back with a revenge victory over the Edisto Blue Devils by a score of 49-40. Since the average height was 5'10 , our boys stood tall as they tasted victory and faced defeat. Charles Dewitt and Jimmy Zeigler, co-captains, led the boys to want to play the game as a team and not for personal glory. Co-captains Charles Dewitt and Jimmy Zeigler. 73 Activities. . . Spirit of Participation Activities to meet the needs and desires of most of the S. M. H. S. stu- dents provide experiences in government, homemaking, farming, teach- ing, and writing. Participation in these clubs increases the students' sense of belonging and feeling of responsibility for the success of the school's program. Through work in these organizations our school life is made richer, and school becomes a more important part of our lives. 74 President Charles Dewitt Thirteen Assume Leadership Vice-President Ray Sigmon Secretary-Treasurer Carole Crook Advisor Miss McKenzie Through its constitution, the Student Council directs and guides the students toward a better school govern- ment. The Student Council works with the students and the administration to bring about a closer relationship between them. The Student Council is composed of two members from each grade, and a president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer that are elected by the entire student body. Our Student Council has been very active this year. Besides sponsoring Homecoming and May Court, they have sold St. Matthews pennants and candy. This money, with collections from the student body, was sent to a Korean orphan, Kim Yung Hui, who was adopted by the Student Council several years ago. Students are encouraged to participate in extra- curricular activities by a point system. Seniors receiv- ing thirty-five honor points during high school are given an Extra-Curricular Award certificate at graduation. Charles Dewitt takes over after being installed as presi- dent during chapel. Selling candy was a money-mak- ing project of the Student Council.

One organization that does not receive much recognition until the end of the year is the Saints’ Scroll staff. Everyone notices the finished product, but most people do not realize the amount of work that it takes to produce a yearbook. The co-op- eration of the editor, salesmen, advertis- ing staff, and many others are needed. This year the first summer supplement was published. It was designed to cover spring sports, junior-senior, May Court, and graduation exercises. By having a supper prior to May Court, the staff ob- tained money to add the summer supple- ment. Working on the Saints’ Scroll staff is not all work and no play. Each year some of its members attend seminars at New- berry and Lander Colleges. Patricia Phil- lips , editor, represented our school by attending the yearbook workshop at the University of South Carolina this past summer. We, the Saints’ Scroll staff, have en- joyed preserving for you the memories of friendships and good times at S.M.H.S. in 1965-66. EDITOR: Henry Carroll; FEATURE BUSINESS MANAGER EDITOR: Judy Crider.

That's Our Cry (L to R) Molly Riley, Martha Miller, Patricia Phillips, Bonnie Inabinet, Head; Ginger Wienges, Molly Wannamaker, Nancy Ott. North and St. Matthews cheerleaders appear to be too worried over the game to do much visiting during the halftime break. When the game is under way again S. M. H. S. cheerleaders are their usual peppy selves. 80 Have you got that Spirit? With the response Yeah Man, the cheerleaders brought to life the spectators before the Yellow Jackets hit the field. Leading the yells this year are seven peppy cheerleaders, whose enthusiasm spreads throughout the football stands to boost the morale of the players and fans. To keep the Spirit of S. M. H. S. glowing, the cheerleaders sold stickers and pens to the students. Decorating the goal posts, making posters, and putting up signs for the games were some of the responsibilities these girls had. This year Conference 7-B held their jamboree and banquet in St. Matthews. The cheerleaders worked hard in making these a great success.

Widely varied activities have been a part of the St. Matthews High School Marching Band's successful year. During the Christmas season, the band marched in sev- eral parades. They also enjoyed a wonderful trip to Columbia to see The Sound of Music. After much hard work, practicing under the direc- tion of Mr. Kenneth Creekmore, the band presented a concert at Open House. The group presented its annual Christmas concert during December. With the support of the Band Booster Club, the band members have sold pens and candy and purchased a new bus. The Band Booster Club sponsored a Christmas party which was enjoyed by all of the members. The band has been kept on its toes this year by its officers who are: Ginny Hodge, President; Edwin Wilkes, vice-president and drum major; Cindy Smoak, secretary-treasurer; Beverly Crider and Jackie Riley, librarians. Attending Band Day at Clemson University was on their busy itinerary. Also performing at half- time during the football season and boosting spirit at pep rallies have been regular duties of our band.

The annual Mother-Daughter Banquet, held in No- vember, was a huge success. Girls having at least one year of home economics are eligible for membership in the Future Homemakers of Amer- ica. Through participating in this organization the student experiences a more useful and satisfying life. The members of the FHA have participated in a variety of activities this year. In July, the girls enjoyed an educa- tional tour of Charleston. A party to initiate the new mem- bers was held in October. Reverend A. J. Gagne, Jr. was the guest speaker at the annual Mother-Daughter in Novem- ber. The FHA girls presented a program at the Methodist Home in Orangeburg during December. As a money-making project, this year's chapter sold doughnuts. Linda Callahan, president of this year’s FHA, attended a conference at Winthrop College this past summer.

Many of the thirty-two members that make up the chapter entered soil and livestock contests this past year. Plans are being made for the boys to attend FHA camp. 90 (L to R) Gene Ray Rucker, President; Joe Prevatte, Vice-President; Simons Hane, Secretary; Mr. J. B.
