1969 SAINTS’ SCROLL Presented by the Yearbook Staff of St. Matthews High School St. Matthews, South Carolina Volume X 2 Each day from August to May wc come to school at 8:15— to the same old building that many of our grandparents attended. It is just an old structure to many who pass by: we, the students of SMHS CALL IT OURS. But is it really? Is it really ours? Our Sub-Freshman days are ones of bewilderment because of changes in curriculum from Grammar School. The freshman and sophomore years are ones of increasing familiarity with school and participation in its activities. As Juniors, wc arc busy with money- making projects to sponsor Junior-Senior. Our Senior year finds us excited and animated and OLDER. Orientation chatter solution to a math problem remembering the answer to a history question break ing the school record in track running a touchdown scoring the winning two points in a basketball game cheering at.a pep rally feeling anger and dejection at defeat joy at winning-these are the emotions and excitements that make up life at SMHS. Only when wc have become a part of these things, either as a participant or spectator; only when wc have learned the meaning of disappointment, respon- sibility, leadership, success, and failure can we really CALL IT OURS.

A teacher is one who strives to instill a desire to learn in her students, is patient beyond all limits, and never stops learning herself. This perfectly describes Miss Wilhemina Kathryn McKenzie. Always unfailing- ly interested in her students, in school and out, Miss McKenzie can usually be seen in the stands at a foot- ball game. An avid baseball fan, she has a full crowd at the T.V. in her room during the World Series each year. A native of Ehrhardt, Miss McKenzie received her A.B. from Newberry College; she was the recipient of the History Honor Award. Her graduate work was done at Winthrop College and the University of South Carolina. She also attended three Driver Training Clinics at Furman University and Erskine College. Before coming here, Miss McKenzie taught at Ehrhardt. She has been at St. Matthews High School for twenty years. When she first began teaching here, she taught only eighth grade subjects; she now teach- es algebra, business arithmetic, and modern math II. Until this year, Miss McKenzie taught Driver Training. She was responsible for the Driver Training Program being installed in our school, which was one of the first schools in the state to have it. In addition to teaching, Miss McKenzie has been sponsor of the Student Council for many years. She can be seen at the ballfield helping to decorate for Homecoming in October or getting the King’s and Queen’s court ready for May Day. These are but two of the many activities she is in charge of as sponsor of the Student Council. Traveling is one of Miss McKenzie’s favorite pas- times. She also reads, knits, crochets, and sews. When Miss McKenzie leaves us, our school will surely miss her. We salute a very great teacher.and a very great lady. Miss McKenzie takes a moment out from watching the basketball game. Miss McKenzie decides whether or not to curve the Mod ern Math grades. 4 But a Friend Always friendly. Miss McKenzie chats with someone at the game. After a long day, Miss McKenzie prepares to go home. 5 A Time for Laughter, “Different” can describe the way Debbie Walling, Buttons Inabinet, Marsha Feryus, and Bobbie Ann Rucker look as they participate in FHA initiation. Life at S. M. H. S. varies from day to day. A football game, an initiation, a discussion with friends, a moment of quiet thoughtfulness—all of these things break the monotony of school. Not only are minds open to knowledge, but hearts are open to friendships. Last- ing memories are made as jokes, thoughts, and ideas are shared by friends. The ever- lasting bustle enfolds even the loneliest of people. We, at St. Matthews High, not only live to learn, but learn to live. Something astonishing caught Stcphie Dean’s eye. 6 for Thinking, for Excitement Julian Wiles has Audrey Jackson, Betsy Whetstone, and Denise Corley captivated. Expressions - - - - Part Whether it’s a negative look from some poor fellow who is “lost in a day dream” or a creative look from an art student, expressions tell much about the people who wear them and how those people feel about what they’re doing. As you look around the classrooms, you can see faces of thought and some- times some frowns; but one thing’s for sure, almost everyone can find something to smile about at good old S. M. H. S! Harry Ott doesn’t know what to do now that football practice is over for the day. Jane Alexander is caught by surprise, as she mixes the paints to hand to Mrs. Duke. Sarah Smith is in deep thought as Rhonda Smoak listens to an unidentified admirer. 8 of Everyday Life Jimmie Sikes finds time to rest during a hard day at school. Bobbie Ann Rucker is determined to get the answer. David Craig shows a deep interest in class.

Most of them came from Cameron, whose school closed this year, but a few came from Mississippi, York, Orangeburg, and other places. Their bright faces adorn our school and as has been said, “the more, the merrier.” They have brought with them some fine students and athletes; St. Matthews has much to give them of which they can be proud-together they should accomplish great things. The teachers are preoccupied with eating. 11 Late for class. Bob Lake stops at his locker to get his books. There Are Many This is everyday life at SMHS. Ramona Sigmon tries on a graduation cap as George Hodge helps. . .a dream which will become a reality for them in May. At the pep rally before the Blackvillc game, EVERYONE yelled. 12 Phases to S.M.H.S. Life In her halls, in her gym, and on her athletic fields, the students show pride in St. Matthews High School. Whether it be cheering, participating in sports, or just chatting in the halls, our lives arc closely knit. The teachers who guide us, the Seniors who will leave, the Juniors who will step into their shoes, and the under classmen who follow the paths trod by many are bound together by loyalty. The cheerleaders “give it all they got. David Kelly, Yellow Jacket mascot, is disgusted that Blackville has scored. Each Day Holds a New Exchanging books and comments takes up three minutes between classes. In school, we learn to live with people and get along, but maybe even more important, we are taught how to use our time when we are alone. We have time to think about the things which concern only ourselves. . . the past and the future. School is like a mirror. We can look at it and see what we, ourselves, are. Cliff Riley “peeks in” to see if anything interesting is happening. Whether thinking about the future or remini- scing about the past, David Bozard’s look is very thoughtful. Thought, a New Aspect During study hall, John Braxton shows a very amusing book to Coach Roquemore, Ramona Sigmon, and Teddy Weeks. Randy Ridgeway is concentrating on get- ting to the bleachers and getting a seat be- fore the game starts. After the bell rings, there never fails to be a few “stragglers” in the hall. 15 Varied Activities A “sea of faces” can be seen in the hall at recess. Working math problems is a very common occur- rence at S.M.H.S. Joel Duke and Stack Riley exert much energy in Band. With her doors opening wide, S.M.H.S. is an in- vitation to strength, learning, and achievement. Each day, throughout the school year, she extends a wel- coming hand to help striving students along the rough but well-traveled road to knowledge. The days at S.M.H.S. are filled with new experiences, the drudg- ery of homework, and the pride that one feels when a feat is accomplished. Competition, toil, and merriment fill the hours of each day. Whether working or playing, in a group or individually, the best one can do is the ultimate goal to be achieved. Competing with others, whether in the classroom or on the athletic field, teaches us how to lose as well as win with grace. Teamwork plays a major role in the life of S.M.H.S. Whether it be a basketball game, a calendar drive, or a science project, we can achieve greater when achieving together. As we realize this, we are brought closer to CALLING IT OURS. 16 Minimize Boredom During sixth period, study hall students find time to watch the World Series A few of the Junior girls make posters for the Powder Puff football game. Satn Arant, Millie Etheredge, and Steve Baston wait to see who the lucky winner of the “Junior Class Turkey Raffle” will be. Students Retain Identity Through daily working with classmates and teach- ers, our lives become entwined—our affections are placed on our surroundings. We become emotionally tied to a “a school.” Moments of shared anxiety and joy, embarrass- ment, and victory bind us together. We stand united —one for all, all for one. Though the years separate us, we have left behind our footprints ... a trail for others to follow. Chuck Wylie sharpens his pencil before a test. There is “mass confusion between classes. 18 Even in Groups The faculty stays after school to discuss school affairs. Jill Banks travels down the stairs toward the lunch- room. 19 20 Personalities 21 Sub-Freshman Learn the Jill Banks Dennie Baughman Jimmy Bonaparte Marion Bookhart Jackie Brady Sandra Brunson Jane Callahan Jean Callahan Edie Ruth Corley Polly Cornelius J ulie Crider Vickie Crider Violet Crider William Ray Crider Ted Flake Donna Furtick Lynn Grubbs Sylvia Hair Teresa Hair George Harper Johnny Hewitt Reginald Hewitt Bobby Hooker Debbie Howze Paula Hutto Jamie Inabinet Debbie Jackson Richard James Keith Jeffcoat Joel Jones Barbara Keitt Eddie Knight Lonzo Michael PS _ d 1' h T 7 til 22 Meaning of Participation” Eddie Prevatte Don Rickenbaker Wayne Rickenbaker Stacky Riley Julie Beth Shuler Virginia Camille Shuler Robert Weston Sikes Jimmy Spires Kaye Spires Ricky Spires Buddy Stone Ricky Stoudemire Sara Tomlinson Jackie Waltz Dot Wannamaker Marge Wannamaker Carl Weeks Bonnie Westbury Joyce Ellen Whetstone Furman Wise Mike Wise Randy Wise Steve Wise Eula Wolfe Chuck Wylie 23 Freshmen Learn School Many new responsibilities came with the title of “Freshman.” At last — they were not the youngest students in high school; no longer were they noticed in “groups”; they were individuals—each growing in maturity at different rates. Learning the ideals taught by the teachers and set by the upper classmen rapidly became goals to be achieved by the freshmen. Many freshmen were eager to make a name for themselves—and did just that. Bert Weeks played varsity football. A number of the boys play- ed junior varsity football. Bruce Tnibault, Becky Prickett, and Lora Maude Abl e were members of the annual staff; and Xennie Weeks was on the news- paper staff. Anne Huff, Debbie Ulmer, Becky Prickett, and Lora Maude Able played junior varsity basketball. Win Anne Wannamaker served as a Homecoming cheerleader. Anne Huff and Dargan Etheredge were elected to the Student Council. They began paving the way for their four-year journey; the first was a busy year for the Class of ’72. Freshmen study hard with the exception of Becky Prickett and Debbie Ulmer, who are tak- ing a “little recess.” Dave Banks Toni Betsill Leland Black Henry Bolton Andy Brady Linda Buyck Darrell Cooper Danny Dilgard, Jr. Joel Duke Virginia Dukes Dargan Ethridge Beverly Ann Felton Marsha Feryus McKi Green Ronnie Hair Anne Huff Diane Hutto Buttons Inabinet Deborah Inabinet Melody Inabinet Nova Jones Sammy Kirven Ginny Lowder Annette Lowery 24 Is Not All Play Ned Nelson Huey Parler Donnie Porth Randy Ridgeway Cal Riley Cliff Riley Gary Porth Becky Prickett Reba Prince Harold Robinson Sarah Robinson Cathy Roof Elaine Ray Bobbie Ann Rucker Brenda Rucker Terry Saylor Marion Sigmon Nancy Sikes Yvonne Smoak Gary Spires Gene Stanfield John David Stoudenmire Danny Sturkie Jake Summers Bruce Thibault Debbie Ulmer Deborah Walling Win Anne Wannamaker Bert Weeks Sophomores Play Active By getting into the swing of high school life, the sophomores are making a name for themselves as well as their class. A number of sophomore boys are par- ticipating in all fields of sports. Not wanting to be surpassed by active boys, a number of sophomore girls are trying their skills at basketball. Mary Smoak represents the sophomores as a football cheer- leader. Dale Wilkes also adds to the class honors by being drum majorette of the St. Matthews band. Ginny Carroll serves as Secretary-Treasurer of the Student Council. Several new names have been added to the tenth grade roll as transfer students. Although Sophomores are not as busy as the upper classmen, they contribute to their school’s activi- ties by doing well in sports, boosting school spirit, and participating in everyday student life at St. Matthews High School. “J’entre dans le salle de classe.” As French II students, Phil Crider, Cliffy Inabinet, and Jack Whet- stone are very familiar with this sentence.

In all classes and all fields of sports, the Juniors represented their class well. Tommy Huff served as Vice-president of the Beta Club. Karen Robinson was Vice-president of the Student Council. A number of Junior boys played Varsity football, basketball, and baseball. Kristi Knight represented her class as a football cheer- leader. Several of the girls played Varsity bas- ketball. During the year, another Junior—sponsored activi- ty was a powder-puff football game between the Junior and Senior girls. Under the guidance of their sponsor, Mrs. Kath- erine Dean, the Junior’s took on the duty of spon- soring the annual Junior-Senior—They did the job well. Tackling the large job of carrying on Junior Class business are: Sam Arant, Vice-President; Millie Ether- idge, President; Norma Kellers, Secretary; Steve Bas- ton, Treasurer.

Then Are This was the year that was—the months, weeks, and days when the Seniors made every precious moment count. These were the days which were put aside as memories as the 2:30 bell rang each day, and time ticked them off one by one. This was the year that Bud Knight became Student Council President; that Frederick Robinson played in the Shrine Bowl; that, along with Frederick, Gene Inabinet and Teddy Weeks were captains of the football team. This was the year that five Senior girls were elected as football cheerleaders; that Sally Arant was crowned Homecoming Queen. This was the year for laughter and tears, joy and sad- ness, for getting together and sharing the happi- ness and tribulations that youth brings. This was the year that was It was a very good year.

Brenda Hopkins Gene Inabinet 33 A Dream Rita Hutto and Stephie Dean relive the past during F. H. A. Initiation. Finally, receiving class rings, ordering cap and gowns, sitting on the front row in chapel—the Senior’s long-awaited dream was quickly becoming a reality. Tests were taken and college catalogues were read over and over again to help the college-bound students make the important decision of where to continue their education. As they realized their high school days were coming to an end, closer relationships with teachers and friends grew. The realization of what life might be without them quickly engulf- ed the graduating students. The last football game, the last basketball game, the last chapel program, then the last exam-each of these things happened for the last time—each and every precious thing that had been a dream—became a reality—and now was a memory.

Teacher’s Activities Vary Mrs. Brandenburg listens attentively to one of the many questions asked by her science class. To find a teacher very interested in her students, present and past, one has but to look into Mrs. Willie B. Brandenburg’s room and glimpse her cheerful face A native of Townville, Mrs. Brandenburg is a graduate of Winthrop College. She has also attended the Science Institutes at Columbia College and at Clemson University. Mrs. Brandenburg teaches science and arithmetic to the eighth grade. When this busy task is over each day, she enjoys reading and sewing. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Mr. Kenneth Creek- more came here as band instructor four years ago. Well qualified for the job, he attended the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music and the United States Naval School of Music in Washington, D. C. The band has prospered under the leadership of Mr. Creekmore. They have won many trophies and brought many honors to our school. Mr. Creekmore is married and has one son. Besides music, his hobbies are art and fishing. Mr. Creek- more stresses the correct tempo. 41 Mr. Creekmore prepares the band for its annual Christ- mas concert. Teaching shorthand, bookkeeping, and typewri- ting, as well as sponsoring the Senior Class and serving as advisor to the Saint’s Scroll keeps Mrs. Evelyn V. Crutchfield’s days completely filled. A native of Horse Cave, Kentucky, Mrs. Crutch- field received her A. B. in Business Education from Bowling Green College of Commerce in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and her M. Ed in Business Educa- tion from the University of S. C. Mrs. Crutchfield has two daughters and eight grandchildren. Faculty Prepares Students “Always busy, never to be kept still” describes Head Coach Otis Culclasure. Scouting ballgames, liming fields, and preparing football plays are parts of the work he never seems to tire of. He can always be seen at work whether on the athletic field, in the school, or on his farm. A graduate of St. Matthews High School and New- berry College, Coach Culclasure teaches World Geo- graphy, Political Science, and Physical Ed. He is married to the former Barbara Jean Rowell; they have one son. Rowdy. Saint’s Scroll Sponsor, Mrs. Cru- tchfield looks over some work that has been done on the year’s annual. Mrs. Crutchfield explains a typewriting problem to Claud- ette Inabinet. Coach Culclasure listens to an explanation on government given by one of his Political Science students. Head Coach Culclasure leaves school in his well- known truck. for All Walks of Life Prior to coming to St. Matthews, Mr. P. H. Dantz- ler served as Principal of Cameron High School and taught agriculture there. Mr. Dantzler hails from Providence and graduated from Clemson University with a B. S. in agriculture. He received his M. S. in 1953. Vocational agriculture is taught by Mr. Dantzler, and he is also the sponsor of the Future Farmers of America chapter. An avid sports spectator, Mr. Dantzler can usually be seen at all the athletic events. During football sea- son, he not only followed the games, but supervised the running of the concession stand. Busily correcting papers, Mr. Dantzler stops to listen to a student's question. Teaching World History, American History, and Western Civ pretty well fills up Mrs. Katherine Dean’s school day. Yet, she always seems to find time to listen to problems students sometimes bring her. Home for Mrs. Dean is Lcwisburg, Kentucky. She graduated from Western Kentucky University in Bow- ling Green, Kentucky. Sponsoring the Junior class is one of Mrs. Dean’s largest responsibilities. In April, Mrs. Dean seems even busier than usual with the prospect of Junior-Senior drawing near. Mrs. Dean ponders over a explanation given by an Ameri- can history student. Teachers Sacrifice Time Patience is a virtue well put to use by Mrs. Bess B. Duke in her ninth and twelfth grade English classess as well as her art class. Having studied art extensively, Mrs. Duke is a great asset to our school and to those who began painting under her. Hemingway is Mrs. Duke’s hometown; she graduated from Columbia College and studied for three years in the Charleston School of Art. Mrs. Duke is very interested in school affairs and is the sponsor of the “Yellow Jacket.” She is the mother of three children, all of whom attend school in St. Matthews. Mrs. Duke prepares the day’s English lesson. Another teacher coming to S.M.H.S. from Came- ron this year is Mrs. Theo Harrison. She teaches eighth and eleventh grade English and Business En- glish. Mrs. Harrison is originally from Winnsboro, S. C. Graduating with an A.B. from Winthrop, she has done graduate work at Wofford, Appalachian State Univer- sity, Columbia University Teachers’ College and School of Library Service. She has a M. Ed. degree from the University of South Carolina. Mrs. Harrison resides in Holly Hill and has a son and a daughter. When not teaching, she enjoys read- ing, traveling, and collecting demi-tasse cups. Mrs. Duke checks to see if an art student has the correct shape of the pitcher. Mrs. Harrison reads one of the junior English themes. for Student’s Benefit Always enthusiastic, one hour in Mr. Hiott’s room can bolster a student’s spirit. He is interested in the student’s activities as well as their studies. Although he commutes from Columbia, he attends most S.M.H.S. extra-curricular events. He graduated from the Citadel and did his gratuate work in the School of Education, at the University of South Carolina. Mr. Hiott is a Lt. Colonel (ret.) and has had assignments in several countries outside the United States. As well as teaching French, English 10, and Social Studies, Mr. Hiott is a co-sponsor for the Junior Class. Mrs. Livingston looks up to answer a Home Ec. stu- dent’s question. Mr. Hiott and Sallie Furtick laugh at something in the news- paper as Sadie Furtick looks on. Cooking, serving, and learning how to make a good home are just a few of the things Mrs. Livingston teaches her students. A native of Honea Path, Mrs. Livingston graduated from Erskine College. She now makes her home in Orangeburg. Mrs. Livingston teaches Home Economics and Family Living, which helps prepare students for the needs of everyday living. She also sponsors the Future Homemakers of America. Surrounded by Miss McKenzie, Mrs. Nel- son, and Mrs. Crutch field, Mr. Hiott en- joys his coffee IM- MENSELY. 45 In Algebra I, Miss McKenzie explains modern math to the class. Beginning her second year at St. Matthews High School, Mrs. Millie McLaughlin teaches chemistry, biology, and general math. She is a native of St. Matthews, and the halls of S.M.H.S. are very familiar ones as she graduated from S.M.H.S. herself. Mrs. McLaughlin received her B. S. degree from Newberry and her M. S. from the Medi- cal College of South Carolina, where she graduated magna cum laudc. Mrs. McLaughlin is married and has a small daugh- ter, Millie Ann. Teachers Open Doors to Miss McKenzie teaches algebra I, modern math II, and business arithmetic. In addition to this, she is sponsor for the Student Council. Mrs. McLaughlin gives the biology class a warning look. 46 Miss McKen- zie counts the proceeds from the basketball game as Mrs. Crutchfield eyes the game with great inter- est. Knowledge for Students A native of St. Matthews, Mrs. Betty H. Prickctt graduated from St. Matthews High School and Win- throp College. Two years ago, Mrs. Prickett began teaching Physi- cal Ed here. This year she added health to her curri- culum. Mr. and Mrs. Prickett have four children, two of whom are in St. Matthews High School. MMiliMJUUISISJi While the Health class is taking a test, Mrs. Prickett has time to daydream. Keeping the newest and highest-rated book£ in our library and seeing that students read the best litera- ture are only two of the many duties Mrs. Elizabeth Nelson assumes as librarian. Born and raised in St. Matthews, Mrs. Nelson graduated from St. Matthews High School and Win- throp College. She has done graduate work in library science at the University of South Carolina. In addition to serving as librarian, Mrs. Nelson has been the long-time sponsor of the Beta Club. Each February, she accompanies them to the Beta Club convention in Columbia. Mrs. Nelson writes a brief summary of a new book. 47 Teachers Strive to Though Mrs. Elizabeth R. Prickctt’s hometown is Cameron, she has been a long-time resident of St. Matthews. She is a alumna of Coker College, where she graduated magna cum laude. This is Mrs. Prickett’s first year of teaching at St. Matthews High School. She previously taught at Cam- eron. Algebra, geometry, and college math arc the subjects Mrs. Prickett teaches to the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Mr. and Mrs. Prickett have two children; Bubby, at Clemson University, and Libby Ann, at Columbia College. Mrs. Prickett shows the geometry students how to prove a theorem. Fresh out of college, Mr. Gamble Roquemore came to St. Matthews High School two years ago. Luckily, we have been able to keep him. Cross Anchor is Mr. Roquemore’s hometown, and he graduated from the University of South Carolina with a B. S. in Biology. Other than teaching physical science, chemistry, and Physical Ed, Mr. Roquemore assisted in coaching football and boy’s basketball; he coached J. V. basketball and baseball, also. Between P. E. classes, Mr. Roquemore finds time to read the sports section of the newspaper. 48 Instill Knowledge While checking notebooks, Coach Springs looks up to see what the “whispering” is about. Mrs. Shirer helps David Craig decide on the courses he needs for graduation. To many of the people around St. Matthews, Coach Bill Springs’ face is a very familiar one. He was born and raised in Cameron and is well-acquainted with many of the people here. A graduate of the University of Georgia, Coach Springs teaches History and Physical Education. In his spare time, Coach Springs enjoys hunting, fishing, and archery. Coach Springs demonstrates how the exer- cise should be done. Giving standardized tests, providing pamphlets about scholarships, and helping students decide where to further their education are all a part of Mrs. Shirer’s job as guidance counselor. She also teaches two classes of first-year Latin. Before coming to St. Matthews, Mrs. Shirer taught for a number of years at Cameron High School. She received her A.B. from Furman University. She lives in Lone Star, S. C., and has three children and three grandchildren. Translating “Fide sed cui bide” into “Trust but be careful whom” is one of the many sentences Mrs. Shirer teaches the Latin students. Mr. Garris has been superintendent of public schools in Calhoun county, District 1, for 21 years. During these years we have observed our superinten- dent busy at his administrative duties at school; but, he also attends our ballgames and other extracurri- cular activities after his working day is over. We are fortunate that we have school leaders who are really interested in the students’ outside activities as well as providing for their academic needs. Mr. Garris’s hometown is Round O, South Caro- lina. He received a B. S. degree in Engineering from the Citadel and a Master’s degree in Engineering and in School Administration from the University of South Carolina. Mr. and Mrs. Garris have a married daughter who lives in Columbia. He is an active member of the Baptist Church, where he teaches a Sunday School class, and is a member of the Lion’s Club. The Administration Keeps Mr. Garris can usually be found in his office very busy. Always on the go, Mr. Ott can usually be seen somewhere around the school whether in the office, the gym, or on the athletic field. This is the third year Mr. Ott has assumed the duties of Principal. Before taking this position, he coached the Jackets for 14 years. His record is hard to beat. A native of St. Matthews, S. C., Mr. Ott graduated from Newberry College, Cum Laude, where he received his AB degree. He also has a MA degree from the University of South Carolina. Mr. Ott is married to the former Doris Wanna- maker of St. Matthews, and they have two children, Nancy, 19, a student of USC and Mike, 18, a student at Orangeburg -Calhoun Tech. Mr. Ott and Frederick Robinson have an amusing conversation during the break. 50 School Running Smoothly Cutting stencils, counting money, and sponsoring the cheerleaders keeps Mrs. Doris Ott, secretary for the high school, busy constantly. A native of St. Matthews, Mrs. Ott graduated from St. Matthews High School and Draughon’s Business College. Having been the SMHS coach’s wife for sixteen years, she is an avid sports fan and attends all the athletic events. Typing is something Mrs. Doris Ott never lacks. New to the school this year is Mrs. Yvonne Brady. She is doing secretarial work. Mrs. Brady is from Swansea, South Carolina. She is married to a for- mer SMHS student and they have four children-two of whom attend SMHS. Mrs. Brady’s hobbies arc singing and gardening. She teaches a Sunday School class and serves on the music committee at the Baptist Church. Mrs. Yvonne Brady is amused over a very funny remark made in the office. 51 Efficiency Is Key Mr. Fogle prepares to climb the ladder and fix the scoreboard—again.

Without students, school could not open, without teachers it would be fruitless to have classes—We often fail to remember that there is another group we could not do without—the maintenance department, who keep the lights on, the heat working, the bells ringing, and numerous other things—the lunchroom workers, who prepare the good lunches each day—and the bus drivers who transport students to and from school each day. 52 to Smooth Sailing Martha and Annie Johnson, lunchroom workers, gaze at Mrs. Oliver, lunchroom supervisor, as she unsuccessfully attempts to dodge the camera. James Fridia sweeps the floor at the end of another day. Mr. Fogle makes sure the gym classes will be over on time, as he fixes the bell. 53 Reflected on the athletic field is a whole new world, an entire life To live fully, athletes must pos- ess self-denial, teamwork, ability, and determination To survive, to capture the full meaning of one single game, athletes must carry these qualities onto the althlctic field with them. Victory becomes more than just a win ... it is the cherished prize achieved by one's hands and feet working together to block a pass or to run a touch- down: the feeling of coordination that days of prac- tice have brought ... it is hearing the distant crowds pouring out their hearts for you. Participation becomes the spirit of life; for only those who have played the games know best what athletics means and we arc brought closer to CALL INC IT OURS.

Returning to the gridiron were twelve seniors and eleven lettermen. The Jackets opened the season with the traditional game against Orangeburg. Though it was nip and tuck all the way, fate did not offer victory and the In- dians won 14—8. The Jackets, determined not to let one rotten apple spoil the barrel, showed the Jack- son Indians they were unconquerable, especially on their home field. Spurred on by victory, St. Mat- thews won the next two games, playing Bamberg and Williston—Elko. Losing to North was a bitter dis- appointment and the Jackets consoled themselves by beating Swansea and Denmark—Olar. Then they tra- veled to Holly Hill, where the Bantams were too tough to beat. The Yellow Jackets ended the season against a tough Blackville team by winning 28-19. This gave the Jackets 5—1 record against conference competi- tion. Although the team was hampered by injuries for a great deal of the season, they still boasted a 6-4 season and shared the 4A championship with Jackson and North. The Bantam is down, as Gene Ina- binet stops his attempt to score. Stan Spigner (no. 26) quickly glances at the official to see if he will call a first down against the Swansea Tigers. Head Coach Otis S. Culcla- sure carries the football back to the gym after a tiring practice. FOOTBALL SCOREBOARD OPPONENT ST.

The cheerleaders receive some “help” from John C. Braxton, Gene Inabinet, and Frank Stoude- mire at a pep rally. 58 After the game, whether it be defeat or vic- tory, the Jac- kets never fail to have their supporters be- hind them. The Word Football” Coach Culclasure and Mr. Ott are disgusted that St. Matthews has let Blackville score. During football season, this is the Yellow Jacket’s nest. 59 60 Mixture of Courage and To those who participate in football, it suggests the meaning of life. The never ending competition and the frustrations caused by mistakes are as common to life as they are to football. In the game, one must be responsible for his own position as well as realizing that the team works as a machine. One of the most valuable lessons to be learned is that of being able to live closely with other people. The boys play not only because of love for the game, but also, for the enjoyment of others. Each is out there to do his best—for his coach, his team, his school. . . . and himself. If each boy who plays football, learns from it that he must give his best at all times, whether winning or losing, then he can never REALLY be beat. Harry Ott drives for the goal, as Gene Inabinet and Beedie Fields display excellent blocking. In his attempt to score a touchdown, Frederick Robinson makes the Indian do a rain dance. Glad that practice is over for the day, Coach Roquemorc Coach Springs take a breather. Victory pays off well. Skill Spices Rivalry Ted Weeks (no. 51) and the official call a touchdown, as Fred Robinson (no. 5) scores again against the W E Blue Devils. Lake zeroes in on Jerry Wiles catches a pass as Bob the play. Harry Ott stops a Denmark attempt to score. Coach Culclasurc gives Quarter- back Bud Knight instructions a- bout how to run the next play. 61 Football Is Versatile Gene Inabinet and Joe Tidwell see that the next football game will be with Williston-Elko. Coach Culclasure calls a signal as Elliott Rucker (No. 67) prepares to go in the game. Holly Hill surrounds Frederick Robinson (No. 5) and keeps him from scoring. It Allows Even Girls to Play A (lag is on the play as Betsy Whetstone carries the ball in the Powder Puff Game. Frederick Robinson carries the ball to score against Jackson. What is football? Football is August practice, days of grueling work, torn ligaments, and pulled muscles; it is a crowded dressing room, the sound of the show- er, the “lockerroom discussions”; football is the wrong shoulder pads, the misplaced socks, the taping of an ankle; it is the calisthenics, the running through the goalposts, the kickoff. Most important it is desire to excel, good sportsmanship, and giving it 100%. Frederick Robinson (No. 5), Harry Ott (No. 24), and George Hair (No. 52) tackle “the Bantam”. 63 Enthusiastic Cheerleaders Leading the yells this year were: (Front) Sally Arant, (Back) Mary Smoak, Sherry Inabinet, Chief; and David Kelly, Yellow Jacket Mascot, and Jane Alex- Knight, ander; (Middle) Ramona Sigmon, Carol Wienges; Sporting new uniforms and new yells, the cheer- leaders began working toward the ’68 season back in the summer. In July, the seven girls attended ACA Cheerleader Camp, where they learned the most up—to—date cheers and formations. August brought football practice for the boys and car washes for the cheerleaders, who were busy raising money to pay for pom-poms and the new uniforms. Pep rallies were held each Thursday night and Friday, at recess. When you walked into the build- ing, you saw the walls literally covered with FIGHT and VICTORY signs. The theme of the cheer- leaders might have been, “Anything To Boost Spirit.” The cheerleaders were part of the team and they had to give it their best, WHETHER win or lose and show great pride and love. . . and they did. Telling those Jac- kets to fight is Head Che- erleader Sherry Inabinet. Kristi Knight came to the Denmark game prepared to yell. . . and for the rain. 64 Bolster Jacket Spirit Victory is near and Ramona Sigmon cheers until the end. Even during a cheer, the game has Carol Wicnges captivated. Jane Alexander seems optimistic that the Jackets will be victorious. At many times the Black- ville game was close, and anxiety is shown on Sally Arant’s face. While counting money made by selling chances on a cake at the game, something in the crowd caught Mary Smoak’s attention. Led by David Kelly, the cheerleaders brought the boys onto the field each game. 65 Early Practice Gives (Front row) Jan Stoudenmire, Ethel Livingston, Wanda Sauls, Pat Riley, Jane Alexander (Middle Row) Janice Wolfe, Manager, Mary Smoak, Kristi Knight, Carol Wienges, Betsy Whetstone, Ramona Sigmon (Last Row) Ellen Wise, Statistician, Beth Taber, Denise Corley, Pat Moseley, Ginny Carroll, Coach Ott. Girls Initiative to Win mm Early practice got the girls in shape for the 1968-69 season. Their enthusiasm and determination were hard to equal. Opening the season against Denmark, the “ready- to-go Jackettes” took an easy victory. The girls learned the value of playing as a team — forgetting the individual, and moving as a machine. The thrill of victory spurred the Jackettes on and very seldom did they experience the taste of defeat. Under the leadership of Co-captains Carol Wienges and Ramona Sigmon and the coaching of Mr. Thad Ott, the girls showed their pride in their school by exemplifying good sportsmanship.

Coach Culclasure summons a reserve from the bench. 69 Jackets Put the Sting With only one starter returning from the 1967-68 Jacket squad, which posted a 15-7 record, the Jackets began the season as the “4A doormat.” However, with the team effort and desire to do their best, they have commanded respect from the other ball clubs in the conference. Under the leadership of three outstanding cap- tains, Bob Lake, Fred Robinson, and Elliott Rucker, the Jackets have progressed more than any other team in the past few years. Needless to say, the coaching has greatly benefited the team as a whole and the individual players. Bob Lake makes a “lay-up” against North. Frederick Robinson outjumps a North Eagle. The boys come off to the court at halftime to discuss further strategy. 70 on Their Opponents Boys St. Matthews 36 Denmark-Olar 51 St. Matthews 42 North 37 St. Matthews 45 Pelion 49 St. Matthews 39 Elloree 37 St. Matthews 62 Elloree 46 St. Matthews 42 Blackville 49 St. Matthews 35 Edisto 29 St. Matthews 22 Williston-Elko 62 St. Matthews 41 Denmark-Olar 46 St. Matthews 57 North 41 St. Matthews 49 Pelion 47 St. Matthews 66 Blackville 43 St. Matthews 41 Elloree 44 St. Matthews 46 Williston-Elko 50 St. Matthews 50 Norway 38 St. Matthews 58 Jackson 43 St. Matthews 28 Swansea 35 St. Matthews 53 Jackson 57 John C.

Betty Rose Phillips, Violet Crider, Julie Beth Shuler, Edie Ruth Corley. (Middle Row) Lora Maude Able, Becky Prickett, Debbie Ulmer, Anne Huff, Reba Prince, Marian Sigmon, Nova Jones, Judy Jackson. (Last Row) Mrs. Springs, Jackie Keefe, Jackie Brady, Dale Wilkes, Elaine Ray, Cam Shuler, Coach Spring?. Reba Prince (No. 21) tips the ball to Becky Prickett (No. 25) Anne Huff (No. 40) attempts a free shot after being fouled. 72 During the 1968-69 season, the Junior Varsity Jackettes motto was “play to win”—and they did. The young ball handlers opened their season with a victory over North. Under the leadership of Coach Springs and co-captains, Anne Huff and Reba Prince, they had a successful season. JV Boys Fail to Ignite Cinders J-V Boys: (Front Row) Danny Moseley, Ronnie Millender, Cliffy Inabinet, Dave Banks, Joel Jones. (Middle Row) David Craig, Danny Sturkie, Phil Crider, Robert Hutto, Tommy Hodge, Manager. (Last Row) Coach Roquemore, Ted Flake, David Westbury, Sammie Kirven, Lawrence Wienges, Gene Inabinet, manager. During the half, the boys take a “breather.” Though this year’s Junior Varsity Jackets had much pride and “get up and go,” they lacked experi- ence in handling the ball and working as a team. They were small boys compared to their opponents. The boys gave 100 percent effort. Under the lead- ership of co-captains Lawrence Wienges and Ronnie Millender, the Jackets won one game. They were coached by Mr. Gamble Roquemore. 73 Cheerleaders Add Basketball Cheerleaders: (first row) Millie Etheridge, Sherry Inabinet, Janice Bolton, (second row) Phil Taylor, Sally Arant, head, Teddy Weeks, (third row) David Kelley. Sherry Inabinet, Phil Taylor, and Millie Etheredge excitedly cheer the girls on to their first victory. David manages to put his head through the net instead of the ball. Enthusiasm to Games “Let’s show them we have the spirit’’ was the theme of this year’s basketball cheerleaders. Pep ral- lies were held in the gym on the day of each game. Led by Sally Arant, the cheerleaders sold cakes at the games to raise money. At Christmas, the seven girls and boys decorated the gym and put up a Christmas tree. They wired Santa Claus, who found he could leave the North Pole early and appeared at the gym the night of the Ello- ree game. The boys got new uniforms this year. They wore black pants with a yellow stripe down the side, black turtlenecked shirts, and gold monogrammed vests. Sally Arant looks around to see if everyone is yelling. Janice Bolton keeps in step with the music. 75 76 Peering through a test tube, diligently trying to solve a math equation, anxiously awaiting the return of a history quiz, determination to type forty words a minute . . . are familiar scenes at any school, but at St. Matthews, the feeling makes the difference. Attending classes becomes routine, yet each day reveals something new and vibrant to those who are grasping for knowledge. The classes prepare for life, for higher learning. Competition plays a part in each class; an overwhelming sense of pride is felt when one receives the highest quiz grade-when one solves the math equation first-These feelings of pride and ac- complishment bring everything closer to CALLING IT OURS. Academics 77 New Classes Added to Curriculum A change in the school curriculum this year offer- ed many of the students new subjects. For those who prefer the waltz to the rumba and bon bons to grapes, Latin was added to the foreign language department. French, being the only modern foreign language of- fered, was retained. Political science and sociology were added for those who are interested in govern- ment and the problems in our world today. Through these new courses, pupils had the oppor- tunity to further their scope of knowledge. Mrs. Shirer works busily on Seniors’ permanent records. “Noses buried in books” is the description of this study hall held in the auditorium because of an overcrowded building. During political science, there is much classroom discussion. 78 Social Studies Challenge Future Citizens World History students become quickly involved in deep thought. Each day the history students of S. M. H. S. delve into the past. They learn about everything from the Roman Empire to World War II, from Marco Polo to Teddy Roosevelt, from the Old Stone Age to modern times. Every morsel of information is recorded in the brain as fact and strangely enough, by the end of the year, the facts merge to form a story—the story of civilization. American History classes arc always found to be live- ly! In World History, students relive ancient times. Math—Foundation of Logical Thinking In Trigonometry, students listen to the explanation of co-functions. The formulas of algebra, the theorems of geome- try, and the general principles of arithmetic are the keys to becoming adept in math. Students work dili- gently to prove that angle A corresponds to angle B or that X + Y = Z. Modern math is making its debut at S. M. H. S. With its new ways of working “old” problems, many students are at first confused. But no matter which math course one takes, much patience is required. Business math students are taught how to fill out income tax forms. 80 English Enriches Vocabulary Junior English students write themes each week. 1 am, you are, he is—the familiar conjugation of the verb “to be” is a must for all students of English grammar and there is no escape from this as English is a requirement. Students also spend time taking liter- ary adventures in the worlds of fantasy and reality. The study of literature is like a “magic carpet ride” which can take one on imaginary journey through the past or into the future. Vocabulary tests are part of senior English. English students in the 8th grade check their homework. 81 Imaginary Trips Taken in Languages First-year Latin students take a test. This year at SMHS a small Renaissance took place—the revival of interest in Latin. After an ab- sence for many years, Latin was again offered as an elective course. The interest in it was great and there were two large classes of Latin I. But of course we can’t forget about French, whose “roots” are firmly planted here. The familiar “Parlez- vous francais” rings through the halls of SMHS from Mr. Hiott’s room. The French students listen to Mr. Hiott’s pronunciation of a sentence. The Latin students get off to a good start with Mrs. Shirer teaching them. 82 New Worlds Discovered Through Microscopes Biology is an interesting subject, though other things interest students in class. Through microscopes and test tubes the solutions to biological problems are found. Dissecting a frog, balancing a chemical equation, and experimenting with a basic solution is all in a day’s work for the young scientists of S. M. H. S. Science is the field of discovery—discovery sparked through learning the technical terms and through working in the lab. Each day finds new theories to be proved or disproved, observations recorded, and conclusions made. In to- day’s world, science is the key to the future. In chemistry, students are spellbound by experiments. Physical Fitness Is Stressed Fifth period physical education boys work hard on calisthenics. In school we keep our minds active by studying and learning. Just as important as our mental health is our physical health. To remain active, we must exer- cise and keep up a good, steady pace. Physical education teaches us not only physical fitness, but how to thrive on competition—how to get along with teammates. 84 Frank Stoudenmire and Coach Springs discuss a play to use in Physical Education class. Melody Inabinet and Marge Wannamaker try to block Pat Moseley’s shot. The Physical Education girls engage in competition as part of their training. Students Tackle Business World The second-year typists take a timed writing. The rhythmical tapping of keys, the ringing of a time clock, and the rustle of carbon and paper are familiar sounds that come from the typing room at S. M. H. S. And dictation is the everyday routine of shorthand students. There is no time for day dream- ing in these classes where every minute counts. Rounding out our business courses are bookkeep- ing, business English, and business math. Business English, a new course this year, is reserved for seniors. A“timid” typist tackles typing! The first-year shorthand class listen to Mrs. Crutchfield dictate. Fantasy Land Invaded By Artists Mrs. Duke shows Millie Etheredge how to shade for greater effectiveness. Combining colors correctly, creating the proper depth, and shadingjust the right areas are aims of S.M.H.S. art students. Our young artists learn to un- derstand and appreciate the works of the masters. They have the opportunity to create for themselves, whether it be a portrait, a landscape, or a seascape. These creations are displayed in the hall, as well as in the art room-our artists’ expressions on canvas. Brenda Spires works busily on a drawing. David Kelly hang one of his pic- tures in the art room. 86 Vocational Courses Educate for Work George Hodge must know the answer to a question Mrs. Livingston is asking during family living class. There’s always something “cooking” ft the base- ment of SMHS. This is especially true in the home economics department where tantalizing aromas of food come drifting up. Home Economic girls learn the “fine art of serving”, child care, wardrobe plan- ning, home furnishings, home nursing, and consumer economics. In the family living class students are introduced to a bit of psychology and the boys enjoy learning to cook. Vocational agriculture boys learn to judge the quality of animals and soil. They study modern tech- niques used in farming, parliamentary procedures, and qualities of leadership. Home projects, such as planting trees, raising farm animals, and welding are completed by boys who become the farmers of the future. The Home Eco- nomic girls made dresses as one of the projects for the year. Mr. Dantzler’s lesson is very interesting to the agriculture class. 87 As members of governmental, journalistic, and athletic organizations, we prepare ourselves for working and planning with others in the future. As the leaders, we gain experience of working out smooth, organized plans for others to follow. It may be adding an amendment to the Constitu- tion, it may be selling candy, it may be washing cars, or it may be sponsoring a dance . . . but. whatever it is, we must work together for the good of all.

The “little girls” were adorable with their pigtails, lollipops, and freckles. Stanley Products and doughnuts were sold to raise money for the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet. The banquet, held in April, was the highlight of the year. F. H. A. members are the builders of homes of tomorrow. They look to the future with “warm cour- age and high hope.” Sally Arant finds something very interesting during Home Ec. Mrs. Livingston and the F. H. A. officers; Sally Arant, Pres.; Melba Stabl er. Vice Pres.; Sarah Smith, Sec.; Mary Kaiser, Treas. make plans for the up- coming year. Debbie Weeks and Ellen Wise could be called “Goo-Goo” girls dur- ing the F. H. A. initia- tions. 95 Council Voices Not only active in student government, but sports as well, are Karen Robinson, V-Pres., and Ginny Carroll, Sec-Treas. As soon as school started, the Student Council organized and got ready to take over the “governing powers” of the school. Composed of two representa- tives from each grade, a president, vice-president, and secretary, they worked hard for better organization and relations between students and faculty. in addition to sponsoring Homecoming, a dance, and May Court, the Council sold candy at the “break” to raise money. They also sold shakers dur- ing football season and canned candy. At Christmas, they presented each of the teachers with a poinsettia plant. Seeing that the students abided by the laws of the Constitution, providing chapel programs, and conducting elections were only a few of the Student Council’s responsibilities. Bud Knight and Miss McKenzie “catch up” on the latest Student Council news. Impromptu Council meetings are held during recess. 96 Students’ Ideas Front Row—Bud Knight, President.

News-Gatherers” “Hit your FAVORITE teacher with a dart” was one of the more popular cries of pre-Halloween night this year as the Yellow Jacket staff staged its annual Harvest Festival. Among other activities that night was the contest to pick “the best dressed ghost and goblin.” On February 8, the Yellow Jacket staff held the annual “Miss Yellow Jacket” and talent contest. To say that these two activities high-lighted this year’s Yellow Jacket staff would not be entirely cor- rect. The issues of the YELLOW JACKET, which were published only through the team work of the staff, were enjoyed by every student and faculty member of S. M. H. S. Plans for the “Miss Yellow Jacket” contest are made at a week- ly meeting. EDITORIAL STAFF: Teddy Weeks, Millie Etheridge, Norma Kellers, Tommy Hodge, Phil Crider, Ellen Wise, Cliffy Inabi- net.

We have tried to photograph many of the special things . . but most of all, the ordinary, everyday things, the things which symbolize St. Matthews High School whether it be a unique football play, an FHA project, or a classroom discussion. With YOUR help this book was published to enable you to relive some of your greatest high school moments of 1968-1969. Co-editors, Jane Alexander and Carol Wienges, decide to use this picture for the annual. Lora Maude Able, Mary Smoak, Becky Prickett and Ginny Carroll spent much time together working on projects for the annual. Mrs. Crutchfield, advisor for the annual staff, keeps everyone working hard. 100 and Records Them in Book Getting ads, accounting for money, and circulating books were the jobs of Ramona Sigmon, Melba Stabler, Ken Westbury, and Tommy Huff. Sherry Inabinet, Claudette Inabinet, Mable Spires, and Rita Hutto spent many study halls typing copy. Bruce Thibault (sitting far right) and other annual staffers look at sample annuals. 101 Band Adds to School’s Collecting trophies seems to be a habit of the SMHS March- ing Band. Trophies are displayed in the band room with pride. Debbie Ulmer daydreams with the music, while Yvonne Smoak tries to keep up with the tempo. Adding tremendously to the school’s spirit and prestige has been the St. Matthews High Band. At all the football games, they could be heard energetically playing the fight songs. During halftime, they entertained spectators with their fine marching. In the Furman Band Contest and Orangeburg Fair Contest, the band captured first place. They also re- ceived the Inspection Trophy at the state contest in Camden. Participating in two Christmas parades and a local Armistice Day services, the band brought honor to our school. Dale Wilkes and Mr. Creekmore are being congratulated on winning the Inspection Trophy. Half-time enter- tainment is pre- sented by the St. Matthews Band at the Blackville game. 102 Spirit and Prestige The Band stands rigidly at attention, waiting for the signal to resume marching. Elaine Ray, Wanda Sauls, Rhonda Smoak, and Dale Wilkes practice diligently. A new routine is performed by the marching band. Dale Wilkes and Mr. Creekmore proudly re- ceive the Furman Univer- sity Marching Band Con- test Trophy. 103 Saint’s Practice Because of the increasing number of younger stu- dents, “The Saint’s” are working hard this year to achieve a great band. They play for schools in nearby towns in order to let them to hear the ‘Sound of the Times.’ The music has been changed, and “pop” tunes have taken their place in the band’s repertoire. Mr. Creekmorc gives Stacky Riley some instruction as Dale Wilkes looks on. The brass section of the band practices for perfection. Band practice is not all work and no play. Gets Underway Elaine Ray pauses during a part when the piano isn’t needed. 105 The trumpeters wait until just the “right time. 106 Honors 107 Seniors Achieve EDWARD BERT KNIGHT III “Holding the reins of government in one hand and those of sports in the other,” Bud Knight is a very active and likeable Senior. Serving as Vice-President of the Student Council and the Beta Club in his Junior Year, Bud was elected President of the Student Council this year, and was Chief Marshal of the State Beta Club Convention. He also co-edited the school newspaper. Very familiar in the world of sports, Bud played football, basketball, baseball, and was a member of the golf team. Politically minded, Bud had a chance to express many ideas at Boy’s State last summer. In the fall, he plans to attend Wofford. SHERRY CAROLYN INABINET To find Sherry Inabinet at school, one has to but look in Mrs. Crutchfield’s room. Whether clicking away at the typewriter or bookkeeping, she is there. Serving as a football cheerleader in her junior year, Sherry was elected head cheerleader her Senior year. She was also a basketball cheerleader. Sherry was first runner-up for Homecoming queen this year and was a May Court Attendant her fresh- man and junior year. She has served her classes well as President, Vice- President and Treasurer throughout high school.

Sherry Inabinet phones the cheer- leaders to discuss the time they will leave for the game. Lofty Goals FREDERICK WIENGES ROBINSON During football season, the name FREDERICK ROBINSON was frequently seen in the State and local newspapers. Frederick was one of the top half- backs in the state and leading ballplayer and tri-cap- tain of his own team. A four-year letterman, he begar acquiring fame during his Junior year when he rushed over 2,000 yards. Frederick has also lettered in track, baseball, golf, and basketball. He serves as President of the Block “S” club and of the Youth Group at the Presbyterian Church.

MELBA ROSE STABLER Serving her school well and exemplifying a good citizen, is Melba Stabler. During her junior year, Melba served as secretary- treasurer of the Beta Club, a graduation marshal, and a delegate to Girl’s State. Scoring the highest on a homemaking test given by General Mills, she was named Betty Crocker Home- maker of Tomorrow—Melba also was the recipient of the DAR Good Citizens Award.

Melba plans to attend Columbia College after grad- uation. During hunting season, Frederick spends much spare time in the woods. Five girls and five boys were selected by the Senior Class to receive honors. The faculty then chose, out of the ten, six Outstanding Seniors. Based on the achievements made in scholarship, athletics, and extra-curricular activities, these Seniors possess intelligence, leadership, and sincerity. Melba Stabler enjoys playing popular tunes on the piano. 109 Seniors Cited for Service JAMES KENNETH WESTBURY, JR. Ken Westbury is definitely an “all-around” boy. If he has a job to do, he gets it done. Serving as class president and Student Council representative, Ken was kept busy his Junior year. He also was a member of the annual staff. This past year, Ken was elected President of the Beta Club, of which he had been a member for three years. He received the King Teen Award and was a delegate to Boy’s State last summer.

CAROLYN EASTERLING WIENGES “Full of school spirit” could accurately describe Carol Wienges. Having been a football cheerleader three years, she knows just how important school spirit is to the football team. A four-year letterman in basketball, Carol achieved, this year, a goal for which she had been working a long time— co-captain of the basketball team. A member of the Belk Teen Board and a delegate to Girl’s State this summer, Carol has served her county, town, and school well. Co-editing the Saint’s Scroll and serving as treas- urer of the Block “S” club have been two of Carol’s other responsibilities as a Senior. She plans to continue her education at Columbia College in the fall. Many “after-school hours,” for Ken Westbury, are spent at “Perry’s Gas and Oil.” Listening to rec- ords, is one of Carol Wienges favorite pastimes. Athletes Win Fame “Any job worth doing, is worth doing well.” The 1968 football team made this their motto and stuck to it. Winning five conference games, they tied for conference “champs.” There were outstanding athletes—boys who never quit fighting, who realized the worth of doing one’s best. Gene Inabinet and Beedy Fields were named to the first and second All-Conference teams, respective ly. Gene, Teddy Weeks, and Joe Tidwell made the All-Area. Particularly outstanding was Frederick Robinson. He was named to the first team All-Conference, All- Area, All-State, and played in the Shrine Bowl.

As Seniors floated down the aisle, they-slipped into a dream; a dream in which the aisle became a road—a road at which they stood as sub-freshman five years ago-one filled with success and failure, victory and disappointment. One’s mind remembered the excitement and color of the first 'football game, the agonizing math problems, the ex- haustion of basketball practices—One’s heart remem- bered the first proms, wearing the well-earned letter sweater, the exchanging of a class ring. The road was often rough and seemed unbearable, but the interest of teachers and friendship of classmates always made sailing smooth at S.M.H.S. We have participated in her classrooms and on her athletic fields-Through this, we have been able to call her truly OURS. 142 Autographs 143
