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.

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.
