SMILING HAPPILY, Sarah Smith rides past the Jacket spectators after being crowned the 1970 Homecoming Queen. Homecoming Is Victory Homecoming was unquestionably the highlight of the football season. The Yellow Jackets were vic- torious as well as Sarah Smith, who was crowned queen. Before the game each of the thirteen sponsors were escorted to their seats to watch the game. Excitedly, the girls viewed a spectacular game. During the half-time the suspense was broken when Mr. Kenneth Rickenbacker, aided by the flower girl, Susan Rhett Culclasure, crowned Sarah Smith queen. Sarah sponsored for Tommy Hodge. Janice Bolton, sponsored by Joe Tidwell, was chosen first runner-up. Second half play proved to be just as thrilling as the first half. After the Jacket 34-6 victory over Blackville, the homecoming scene moved to the gym where the Annual Staff sponsored a swinging Homecoming Dance complete with psychedelic lights. The SANDS OF TIME provided the music which kept everyone dancing until the end. REVEALING THE PATRIOTISM of our school, “Old Glory” was raised before each game. SARAH’S HAPPINESS is shared by the other sponsors as they eagerly congratulate the new queen. Powder Puff Players Ponder Prudent Positions Despite a fantastic effort, the seniorr'survived and proved themselves invincible, smothering the ju- niors in the Powder Puff football game. At first, both teams ran wildly on the field, but the seniors gathered their forces and, bingo, scored a touch- down with the seniors repeating their scoring ef- fort several times, the game ended in a score of 26-0. But! Other events captured the attention of the on-lookers. The cheerleaders combined their spastic abilities with their “original” cheers creating an amusing spectacle. During the half, the sponsors for the juniors appeared. Homecoming queen, Wayne Mack, was presented “her” bouquet of cotton bolls, and being defenseless, was kidnapped by the seniors cheerleaders who swept “her” away in their Model A. After-effects of the battle between the juniors and seniors became clearly visible, with the evolu- tion of knee knots, bruises, and sprained fingers and ankles. REVOLUTIONARY senior cheerleader, Jerry Wiles, ad- justs his bifocals. THE BAMBOOZLED BAND awakes from its dampened position. The Spirit of Dreams Animated Miss Yellow Jacket and Talent Winners Four girls, two from each class, carried a single dream—the honored title of Miss Yellow Jacket Jackie Keefe, a Junior, made the dream a reality. Jeannette Carroll and Vickie Wylie were runners up. Also honored were Jeanne Phillips, Miss Freshman; Deirdre Dent, Miss Sophomore; Janice Bolton, Miss Junior; and Kristi Knight, Miss Se- nior. The talent competition was animated with vari- ety, originality, and ability. The Rucker Combo playing “Wipe Out” were selected as first-place winners. The Combo was comprised of Bobby Ann and Ricky Rucker. Second place was captured by a hospitable staff of puppets. They were brought to life by Denise Corley, Anne Huff, and Julian Wiles. With a massive Bass and a guitar, Randy Ridgeway and David Westbury, singing “Dream, Dream, Dream” won third place. “DREAM, DREAM. DREAM”, sung by David Westbury and Randy Ridgeway won third place in the talent contest. THE RUCKER COMBO, playing “Wipeout”, was the first- place winner in the talent contest. CROWNING Miss Yellow Jacket of 1970, Rita Hutto, last year’s winner, shares the joy of Jackie Keefe. A PUPPET SHOW originated by Denise Corley, Anne Huff, and Julian Wiles won second place in the talent con- test. 25 COVERED with snow, Pat Riley delicately tastes the white magic! HURRIEDLY, the buses were serviced for the grueling trip home. Snow Brightens Gloomy Skies “Look out the window—quick—its snowing! Is it sticking?—Yes! These were the enthusiastic words of many SMHS students as a rare winter snow blanketed the ground. Within the hour snow- ball fights were in full swing, buses were being fueled, and teachers became hectic. Along with the snow came confusion. The gruesome decision of closing school hung over Mr. Ott, lunch had already been prepared, and glisten- ing highways became avenues of ice for skidding buses. Finally, the decision to send everyone home was made. Jubilant and snowballed students were herded to the buses and dismissed for a wonderful winter holiday. RUSHING for the buses, students explode with joy. JOVIALLY, Jack Whetstone throws a snowball at Joe Tidwell. Booster Club Annoints Athletes With Honor Excitement filled the air, especially for Gamecock fans, when the Yellow Jacket Booster Club held its annual Booster Club Banquet this spring. The Na- tional Guard Armory exploded with excited athletes, proud parents, enthusiastic Booster Club members, and even a few Clemson fans. Everyone eagerly awaited the keynote address by Coach Frank McGuire, Head Basketball Coach at the University of South Carolina. Beginning with an abundant barbecue supper, the long-awaited event got under way. Music by the Stage Band set the mood for the enjoyable eve- ning. The honored guests, coaches, athletes, and cheerleaders were recognized for their fine abili- ties and achievements. Receiving awards present- ed by the Booster Club members and the coaches were: Best Offensive Back and the Drummond Brandenburg Award, Jerry Wiles; Best Offensive Lineman, Joe Tidwell; Best Defensive Back, Harry Ott; Best Defensive Lineman, Elliott Rucker; Coaches’ Football Award, Tommy Huff; Scholastic Award, Ashby Gressette; Coaches’ Baseball Award, Chris Fogle; Coaches’ Girls’ Basketball Award, Denise Corley; and Coaches’ Boys’ Basketball Award, Melvin Hart. The track and golf teams were also recognized for the outstanding records this year. EXPERIENCING pride in achievement, Jerry Wiles exhib- its the Drummond Brandenburg trophy for admiration by Kristi Knight and Mary Smoak. ENTERTAINING with music, the Dance Band played after the Barbecue supper. PICTURE-TAKING for the Calhoun Times and the Times and Democrat are proud moments for award-winning athletes. AUTOGRAPHS for everyone were ceaselessly demanded by fans of the key note speaker. Coach Frank Mc- Guire. ENTHRALLED in her work, Karen Robinson completes her Betty Crocker test. BOYS AND GIRLS STATE REPRESENTATIVES: Jack Whetstone, Dale Wilkes, Janice Wolfe, David Westbury, Phil Crider, and Kenneth Kizer. SURPRISED at Norma’s selection as Star Student, Mrs. McLaughlin is equally surprised at being chosen Star Teacher. KING TEEN Ashby Gressette enjoys recess conversation. Homage Is Paid To Outstanding Personalities We vassal students of St. Matthews High School have acknowledged our honorary lords. Our County Star Student, from the galaxy, came as Norma Kellers, who picked as her heavenly teach- er, Mrs. Milly McLaughlin. His Majesty, Ashby Gressette, was proclaimed King Teen. The Girl and Boy State government officials were elected to be Janice Wolfe, Dale Wilkes, Jack Whetstone, Phil Crider, Kenneth Kizer, and David Westbury. Thrifty Karen Robinson became Betty Crocker Homemaker. For next year, David Westbury, President, Gary Porth, Vice-President, and Paula Hutto, Secretary-Treasurer will be our student body officers. Let us hail “salaam” to our respect- ed leaders! 31 The Age of Aquarius” Dawns on Junior-Senior EXPERIMENTING with their candles, Norma Kellers lights up her table. DANCING and resting were necessary parallels during the smoldering evening. As the sun set on Earth, the “Age of Aquarius” rose at the St. Matthews gym on a warm Friday night. The “richly-dressed” guests walked over the bridge into a world of blooming flowers, hanging stars, flowing fountains, and rocks in a candlelight setting. “At your service,” the sophomore helpers, raced from table to table serving dainty food of Utopia.” Flower Powers, Moon Beams, Fleecy Clouds, and Jupiter Delights. “The Entertainers” aroused the dancers spirits by their psychedelic music, while the faculty, spying over, held their ears (except for certain brave ones!) Swaying bodies turned into wiggling snakes as the servants pantomined the tune of “Age of Aquarius.” But, after their skit, trying to keep everyone pleased was the servant’s full-time job. The night was wild and it was late when pooped servants finally stumbled into bed. 32 SWINGING to the music, Jackie Keefe, Dargan Etheredge and Andy Furtick dance in front of the bandstand. SLOW DANCES mean rest, recuperation, and sentiment 33 34 HAPPY glances filled the faces of King Jerry Wiles and Queen Kristi Knight. Sovereigns Of May Are Crowned On a fortnight in the first moon of May, many sub- jects attended the coronation ceremony of their King and Queen of May. The buglers announced the arrival of the court, as the lords and ladies of the palace paraded out in front of expert critics, bright lights, slippery floor, and thorny (but a beautiful pink) roses and greenery. Then came the proud king-to-be, walking stiffly and royally; last of all came the Queen-to-be in her flowing white dress, followed by two little trainbearers, enjoying it all, but astounded at the numbers of faces all looking at them. After all the distinguished had been seated, the musicians came out to their new King and Queen. When all was over, the subjects had the pleasure of complimenting everyone. ANNOUNCING the attendants was Harry Ott, master of ceremonies. CROWNING the King and Queen, Superintendant H. F. Garris honors the court with his presence. SINGING and Strumming, Mrs. Springs filled the air with music and song. Receiving his diploma, Honor Graduate, Ashby Gressette also receives congratulations from Mr. Ott. Marshalls: Dale Wilkes, Janice Wolfe, Jack Whetstone, David Westbury, Lynn Duke, and Beverly Zeigler Seniors Expand Their Campaigns Into Unconquered Horizons The world may be tough. It may be rough—but who are its future leaders—the 1970 graduates? It may well be, for when diplomas were handed out at commencement exer- cises, many senior “generals” stood ready to accept the command. Their war cry was the ever-sad, but steady and moving, “Pomp and Circumstance.” Leading their army into its field of glory were Karen Robinson, Valedictorian; Millie Etheredge, Salutatorian; and Ashby Gressette, Honor Graduate. Rising above these marching infantryman, were the of- ficers, the ones with special talents. These were recognized with commendations and special awards. Julian Wiles and Denise Corley received the “I Dare You” award. Gladys Crim won the Loryea Home Economics Award and the Commercial Award. Karen Robinson won the D.A.R. Good Citizens’ Award. Wanda Sauls and Rhon- da Smoak were commended with Band Awards. Extra-cur- ricular awards to those students who have accumulated 35 extracurricular points, were awarded to 14 Seniors. Sam Arant, Denise Corley, Millie Etheredge, Chris Fogle, Ashby Gressette, Kristi Knight, Harry Ott, Karen Robinson, Ginny Carroll, Tommy Huff, Elliot Rucker, Wanda Sauls, Mary Smoak, and Jerry W'iles. Welcoming the audience, Millie Etheredge gives her salu- tatory address. Saying farewell to the class and a way of life, Karen Robin- son gives the valedictory address. 37 The facets of learning projected thru the lenses of Academics Academics charts of teaching seas of learning Shakespeare Thoureau Pythagorean Stereotyped names of immortal ideas Avenues of communication Penetrating Stimulating transforming ignorance into learning preparing a mind A life challenging the old incorporating the new ENTHUSIASTIC, and jubilant over a great test paper, Ned Nelson beams with joy. DESPONDENTLY, Donnie Porth finishes his science test. 38 SLOUCHING before class, Wayne Grubbs responds to a talkative group. WELDING a strong bead requires the patience of Mr. Dantzler and the hand of student welder, George Hair. 110 Volts Surge In Agriculture And Industrial Arts Crackling 110 volt arcs penetrate the ears of weld- ing students as they select rods, learn arc lengths, and practice proper traveling speed. Their practice sessions include a crash on their work by a ten- pound sledge hammer. If it holds, they’ve succeed- ed! Radically different concepts from hog and soil judging to parliamentary procedure enthusi- astically enthrall the minds of Agriculture students. A wild, weird, and difficult course in Industrial Arts descended on many students this year. Shocked by such unknown terms as dimensioning, othographic projection and lettering, students mi- raculously mastered such tasks as drafting, isometric figuring, sectioning, and blue printing. 40 IN THE FIELD, Mr. Dantzler explains soil texture and permability. DRAFTING in Industrial Arts requires erratic positions. ADDING THE FINISHING TOUCHES Nancy Sikes displays her artistic talent on the canvas. ALWAYS THERE TO HELP, Mrs. Duke aids Debra Hil- debrand in matting a picture. Art Creates Worlds of Enlightenment Expressing one’s thoughts on paper with the use of paint and brush has found the art students very busy and captivated at St. Matthews High School. Each day as third period begins, the young artist may look forward to an hour of enjoyment. The artist may paint what he wishes, whether the cre- ation be of tempra, charcoal, or just pen and pen- cil. Mrs. Duke serves to advise the student in providing pictures to paint and making sugges- tions on the completion of a picture. In addition to this, her job ranges from mixing paint to teaching the basic fundamentals of drawing. The halls of St. Matthews High are proud to display the finished creations of her art students. Eyes are raised in wonder to the realistic vividness and colorfulness many of our artists’ pic- tures have exemplified. In the spring, our art department completes their year with an exhibit, open to the public. CULTIVATING HER TALENT, Denise Corley creates a new picture. ABSORBED IN HIS WORK, Teddy Jackson patiently awaits his new creation. Business Department Offers Job Training As the world of business becomes more and more competive, the use of modem business techniques becomes a necessity. Because business has become so complex in recent years, an early start in high school has become a reality at S. M. H. S. This year students clicked type, squiggled short- hand, and added bookkeeping. Future secretaries increase their typing speed and shorthand accu- racy. Struggling in beginning shorthand, typing and bookkeeping, makes office positions and college as- signments less fearful QUESTIONING her assignment, Mable listens attentively. SETTING margins, first year typing students prepare for a time writing. SETTING tabs, Cliffy Inabinet, works on his typing test. 44 English Builds Sturdier Students English, an important course at S.M.H.S., is a combination of many things. It is a culmination of learning and expressing knowledge. Hurriedly reading books for book reports, desperately trying to meet a deadline for a term paper, being absorbed in Shakespeare, and becom- ing acquainted with the grammatical part of En- glish are all elements of our English courses. Chances to express originality and creativity are offered through weekly themes, essays, poems, and short stories. TAKING NOTES. Tommy Hodge prepares to meet his term-paper deadline. DISCOVERING parts of speech, English students listen to Miss Goddard. MISERLY Silas Marner appeals to sophomore English student, Elaine Ray. COMMUNICATION between teachers and students is sometimes difficult 47 SLUMPING in his chair, Chuck Wylie struggles to pay at- tention in Latin. STUDYING her Latin vocabulary, Edie Ruth Corley prepares for the test Mrs. Shirer is making out. 48 Foreign Languages Speak to Students Learning accents, conjugating verbs, and diligent practice are all necessities to the mastery of a foreign language. Mr. Hiott, our French teacher, urges his students not to translate, but to actually think in French. Tapes provide a basis for proper pronunci- ation and textbooks lay down the rules of gram- mar. In French III, our most advanced French course, students are fascinated by French culture and history as well as the mastery of the language. Aside from French, our curriculum also offers Latin. Because conversational Latin does not exist, translation is a basic reality. Roman culture and history are studied parallel with grammatical usage. Roman civilization is the heart of Latin scholarship. Foreign languages, both modern and ancient, are the basis for communication, understanding, and compassion—the most complex problems of our time. MR. HIOTT converses with Janice Wolfe. TIMIDLY, Judy Geiger awaits Mr. Hiott’s response. SEEKING added Western Civilization information proves rewarding to Karen Robinson. USING MAPS is of vital importance in locating points of interest 50 History Is Hip Conquering Mesopotamia with Alexander the Great, crossing the Alps with Hannibal, and in- vading Normandy with Eisenhower provides an exciting exit into the past for history students. An- cient happenings exploded into visions as real as the landing of Apollo Eleven. Students experienced emotions, the very feel- ings of freedom and independence their forefathers had felt when they produced the Declaration of In- dependence and the Bill of Rights. History Classes challenged today’s problems: Vietnam, Moratorium Day, Nixon, Agnew, Ecol- ogy, and Earth Day. Students learned to think their own thoughts, corollate the past, and exam- ine their futures. LEARNING S.C. History now, in her three hundredth year, proves to be interesting. LECTURING TO AMERICAN HISTORY CLASSES, Mrs. Dean requires absolute attention. LEARNING the true meaning of democracy allows Western Civilization students a trip to local court. Jl DEBBIE ULMER debates delectable dish results. PUZZLING PATTERNS perplex Vickie Crider and Jackie Brady. Home Economics Prepares Tomorrow’s Homemakers From the click of their scissors to the turning of a stove dial, teenage girls learn the arts of cooking, sewing, cleaning, and caring for the home. In mas- tering these arts, the home ec girls encounter many ups and downs. They often face the problems of burned food and the tedious tasks of ripping out pockets and hemming dresses. In studying home economics, the girls gain new insights to everyday household tasks. They realize the secrets of modern homemaking and seek the knack of true home care. PUZZLED by her calculations, Mable Spires prepares a seam. COOKING WIZARDS attempt tempting recipies. EXPLAINING the difference between binomials and trinomials, Mrs. Brandenburg works a problem for the Al- gebra I class. PLOTTING lines on a graph is a necessary procedure for Algebra II students. 54 Revolutions Plotted in Mathematics Revolutions, simple multiplications of circles, were plotted explicitely in our mathematics classes this year. Factoring their procedures, students learn to anticipate an axiomatic value for logic. Analyzing proofs and painstakingly stating each step, students are instilled with a sense of order. Though essentially alike, each equation, theorem. CLASSWORK enriches Polly Cornelius’s comprehension. problem, and proof is radically dissimilar from all the rest. Ordered Chaos could readily be applied to all forms of mathematics. A receipe for a care- fully ordered pot of goulash. Expanding from incongruous thoughts of pro- cedure, students nevertheless contract in possible actions. From a vein of untapped minds of null- ness, pour frenzied thoughts of pure solutions sets. ALWAYS THERE TO HELP, Mrs. Elizabeth Prickett shows Becky Prickett a mistake she made on an Algebra test. 55 GRASPING for the rebound, the P. E. boys enjoy a fast paced basketball game. “HORSE,” a game of cunning, often adds spice to P. E. sports. 56 Physical Education Precipitates Self Improvement In an age of luxurious living, we often find our- selves letting machines do all of our work. We are captivated by television programs and music. All of this comes to one thing—the neglect of our physical appearance and its capabilities. Here is where physical education takes its place. Strenuous exercises, breathless running, and new games are all a part of our physical education department Here the fundamentals of athletics are taught and learned. During the week the gym explodes as young athletes leap for a volleyball, scramble to hold a basketball, and bound up the floor to win a race. SERVING the birdie, Toni Betsill prepares important play in badminton. WAITING for the return, Chris Fogle tensely “eyes” the ping pong ball. 57 Social Studies Merge Leadership and Responsibility English and math have always been taught to every student; but in our present society, social studies is becoming a subject of equal importance for every student. The world we live in today is full of problems and evils that need correcting. How can the leaders of tomorrow make the necessary reforms if they become the unsuspecting silent ma- jority? In social studies, each student is taught how governments work and how the people can express their individual beliefs. The young people of to- morrow will profit from this knowledge. Preventing traffic accidents, applying first aid, and learning the abuses of drugs are only samples of the subjects taught in health and driver educa- tion. Familiarity with good driving habits provides the students with a conscience of safety for the rest of their lives. The far-reaching effects of social studies on our everyday lives and on society as a whole emphasize the importance of a strong social studies curriculum. CONVERSATION enlightens a Social Studies study period. INTERESTING topics and varying expressions reflect Mr. Leonard’s Social Studies class. RADIOMETER WAYrES spin aimlessly amidst the awe of physics students. LEEUWENHOEK’S beasties ceaselessly squirm beneath the squinted eyes of biology students. 60 Science Is Involvement The mysteries of the universe become exciting when explained by the science teachers of SMHS; although, as freshmen, students reject this idea. As they continue to study the heavens, examine the complex, review theories, cut open frogs, burn fingers, learn what Mendel, Darwin, and Salk have accomplished, and, in a final dramatic adventure, witness man’s exploration of the moon, science suddenly becomes a startling reality, boredom vanishes, and the mind awakens. From a sense of nothingness and utter igno- rance, the world of scientific involvement bursts forth. COOPERATION and communication are important ele- ments of scientific involvement. UNBELIEVABLE PHENOMENA become reality in be- lievable lab periods. Run! beyond all goals Yell! beyond all decibels the longitude and latitude of Sports Sweat Anger Pride Shattering the improbable Evoking an emotion Fascinating a crowd inducing a pride Prevading the limits the limits of mind the limits of body Battering defeat Complimenting victory Withering hopes Exploding into glory WATCHING the basket, Elliot Rucker and Tommy Huff prepare to leap for the rebound STRAINING to tackle the Indian, is George Hair. 62 Jackets Have Year That Wasn’t Defeat seemed inevitable for the 1969 Yellow Jackets. Their truimphant expressions of spirit, desire, and determination seemed to be somehow alienated from victory. Their efforts seemed fruit- less. But through the entire season of agony, the Jackets never gave up. They met every game as a hope for victory—a chance for glory. A hardworking coaching staff backed the Jackets in every game. They remained faithful and labored many long hours in preparation for every game. Led by ever-jubilant cheerleaders, their fans re- mained steadfast. Their hope and pride never faltered but grew with every game. ANXIOUS moments persist between coaches and players during timeouts. PRACTICE proves to be a hard but necessary chore. DRESSING OUT often becomes a grueling effort. NERVE RACKING MINUTES of solitude pass slowly as players await gametime. 65 Jackets Batter Defeat The Yellow Jackets of St. Matthews invaded Judge Hughes Stadium for the first game of the season in an effort to scalp the Orangeburg Indians. In one of their best efforts of the season, the Yellow Jackets played an even game against the bigger Indian team during the first half; but due to a lack of a strong punch, the Indians prevailed in the end. The Yellow Jackets invaded another tribe of In- dians in Jackson and again failed to come away with a scalp. A badly needed offensive game was still quiet tor the “stinger” and Jackson won by three touchdowns. Still looking for their first victory, the Yellow Jackets journeyed to Bamberg, but were again denied a victory. The defense played a fine game, but the inconsistence of the offensive phase proved once again the Jackets’ downfall. Another of the Jackets better efforts was turned in against Williston-Elko. The Yellow Jackets scored their first touchdown of the season and prospects for victory looked a little brighter for the Jackets, but once again the Jackets were defeated. Missed opportunities could be the theme of this year’s football season. Failure to cross the goal line a second time in North banished the Jackets’ hope of victory. The Yellow Jackets practiced ever harder in pre- paration for the Denmark-Olar game, but again de- feat stung the Jackets. In a game, the team felt they should have won, they again came out on the short end of the scoring. Too much of the Swansea Tigers for the Yellow Jackets to digest brought the Yellow Jackets an- other loss. But the desire to win was still found in their “stinger,” and the Yellow Jackets began preparation for an even mightier tiger. For a while, the Allendale-Fairfax game appeared to be the upset of the year, but in the ena, it was again too much Tiger for the Jackets. Leading 8—6 at the end of the first quarter, the Yellow Jackets lost their triumphant upset to another agonizing defeat. Missed opportunities to cross the goal line again proved to be the Jackets downfall in the Holly Hill game. The defense played good football, but the Bantams prevailed and the Jackets tasted a bitter defeat again. Sprinting for the goal line, Harry Ott tries to evade Holly Hill’s tackle.

They led the team on to their only victory of the season. Spirit day and Homecoming set the stage and sparked the necessary excitement to produce the leading offensive game of the entire season. The stubborn Jacket defense gave little ground to the Blue Streaks’ offense. Victory was sweet to the Jackets who had lost nine games straight. It was well deserved by a team of true champions; one which had held out against the worst odds and never gave up. ANXIOUS JACKETS and their coaches earnestly eye every play. 69 LEAPING upward on a jump ball is Tommy Huff. ANXIOUS players prepare for the rebound. A TIED SCORE perplexes the Jackets. 70 Boys Varsity Basketball Has Bouncing Season The Yellow Jackets roundball team finished two games above the .500 mark with a final season mark of 11 wins and 9 defeats. This year’s version of the Yellow Jackets was one of hustle and desire since most teams held a height advantage over them. But against these odds, the team really played inspired basketball. The team played together as a single unit with everyone chipping in to aid the winning cause. Led by seniors Elliott Rucker, Jerry Wiles, Melvin Hart and Tommy Huff along with junior Thomas Murphy, the Yellow Jackets really showed their stinger. Top reserves also played a part as Ashby Gressette, Sam Arant, Chris Fogle, Lawrence Wienges, Ron- nie (The Roche) Millender, Bill Phillips, and George Hair gave aid to the starting five. Elliott Rucker had the highest single game out- put and rebounds with 29 points and 25 rebounds against Blackville. Thomas Murphy was the teams leading score with a 19 point average. Melvin Hart was second on the team in scoring while Jerry Wiles played excellent defense. Melvin Hart and Thomas Murphy made all-con- ference first team making the second straight year for Melvin Hart to win this honor.

From the beginning of ardent practice sessions in November to the final buzzer of tour- nament play in February the Jackettes played with pride. Handicapped by vacant positions of graduating seniors, the Jacketts, nevertheless, formed a highly efficient unit. Led by Coach Thad Ott and co-cap- tains, Betsy Whetstone and Denise Corley, the Jackettes experienced defeat as well as victory. Through teamwork and play the girls realized the true and lasting values of good sportsmanship and friendship.

Junior Varsity Basketball Teams Pop Balls Baloop, Baloop, Baloop—rhythmically dribbling while scrambling down the court, the J.Y teams painfully learned the art of basketball. A lay-up peps up, then suddenly disappears as the other team rushes it to the far end of the court. Depres- sion seeps over the team until miraculously the other team misses the shot. The pressures of free shots, the agony of fouls— emotions from another world gripped the young teams. As the ball slowly drifts down from a jump shot, a precious second of fear crushes the team, molding it, improving it, and from childlike stillness, matures it. BOYS J.V.

Gimmick Plagues Baseball Team In this “you have to have a gimmick” world, the SMHS baseball team was plagued with a malacious gimmick—the gimmick of errors. Sure victory seemed to drift away in dramatic “Come- dies of Errors.” Improving with practices and games, the team never seemed to shake this eerie specter. But regardless of errors, the Jackets made remarkable comebacks. In the game with North, though trailing 10-2 after 2 innings, they fought back and won a sturring victory of 14-13. Unfortunately, the Jackets experienced more downs than ups. The season left the Jackets with 10 defeats and 4 victories. RECUPERATING after a stringent outfield, the Jackets fill the bench with anticipating batters. FRONT ROW: Johnny Culclasure, Manager; Melvin Hart; Dave Paulling; Jerry Wiles; Harry Ott.

Practice, coaching, and playing lubricat- ed the machine and increased its efficency. Only through team cooperation are individuals allowed to excell. Sam Arant, swinging a wicked bat, racked up the highest number of hits. Chris Fogle, winner of the coaches award in Baseball, made the first team, all-conference baseball team. Others excelled also—in dramatic hits, light- ning plays, and splendid pitching. Individual spirit correlated with team pride produced a proud team. CLOSING his eyes from a powerful pitch.

Track Team Sprints In Conference, Upper-State, And State Meets Running, leaping, hurling, the 1970 track team beamed with energy. The spinning discus thrower, the sprinter, the pole vaulter, all exhibited superi- or accomplishments. Exuberant conditioning—running laps, broad jumping—built the team into an extremely fit unit of athletes. Though flooded by rain, the team scored second in the conference. Jerry Wiles, having won the low hurdles at the conference meet, along with the half-mile relay team who had also won, went to the upper state meet at Belton-Honeapath, where they also won first place. The half-mile relay team had cut six seconds off its best time to win in the Upper-State meet In the state meet Jerry Wiles took second place with an exuberant 21.5 seconds. The half-mile relay team placed sixth. DRAMATICALLY, Jerry Wiles plumets over the finish line.

The boys’ team began a long drive to this year’s exciting season. Teeing off in March, they soared that little white ball through the clouds to obscure landings. How- ever, they managed to land it on the close-knit green carpet at least a few times, because they won 11 games out of 14. Burning matches lit rivalries between many area clubs. After being luckily excused, our golf team eluded our campus many fifth and sixth periods to make their way to courses full of sand traps, forests, and holes. And after much tiring, sweating practice, the team left hopefully for the conference tournaments. That day they maneu- vered skillfully toward becoming the runner-up of the conference. JUDGING distance, Tommy Huff addresses the ball. CONTEMPLATING his putt, Sammy Kirven keeps his eye glued to the ball TALLYING their score cards are Felicia Gressette and Cheryl Fields. IN FULL SWING, Jackie Keefe watches the ball. 84 Girl Golfers Sink Golf Balls Blasting a golf ball straight into the middle of a pond can be a trying experience for the average golfer, but for the 1970 girls’ golf team it was just part of their game. These girls spent most of their playing time hunting for that little round ball and often found it not only in ponds but also ditches, woods, roughs, and sandtraps. Although the team members had various wrin- kles that they were unable to iron out, they were still a challenging unit to their competitors. Clinching the “number one spot” was Betsy Whet- stone who proved her ability by capturing medal- ist honors in several matches. They ended the season undefeated, although they tied Orangeburg and El loree. SETTING up the tee, Betsy Whetstone prepares her shot.

Excitement Fills Senior Days On becoming a senior, each student realizes the value of his high school education. The senior’s mind is filled with every-day happenings and ques- tions concerning his future. The realization that his high school days will soon end is uppermost in his thoughts. The senior learns to make the most of each day. Gaining meaningful relationships with teachers and other students becomes very important. Days of shared work and play become a part of each se- nior’s life. Realizing that his high school days must prepare him for the unknown future, the senior unconsciously becomes more mature and is prepared to face what lies ahead.

Having been members of various organizations at S.M.H.S. during past years, they accept their positions as leaders. Being older and more mature, they are capable of setting the ex- ample for their underclassmen to follow. The senior class of 1970 consisted of a group of well-rounded students. Many, in their last year of participation, proved their talents in all fields of sports. Others worked hard to help make school or- ganizations function effectively. All in all, the se- niors cultivated their academic abilities which will enable them to be the wise young leaders of the fu- ture. PRESIDING at the class meeting, Sam Arant tells the se- niors about graduation material.

Yes, the seniors have made the impossi- ble possible. They are leaving high school life behind. In a few years, the 1970 senior will get homesick. He will miss the life established at S.M.H.S. He will shuffle through his closet and Find his annual. He will reminiscently flip the pages and wish he could be in high school again. To the senior, life is just starting. The world stares at him from all directions. The senior will stumble and fall before he is at home with the world, but always, he will rise again to face the future. He can, he must, and he will.

The Future Beckons Upcoming Leaders The senior has come through eleven grades of school being an underclassman. Upon reaching the twelfth grade, the senior enters another world. Lit- tle things such as receiving class rings, measuring for caps and gowns, ordering and sending gradua- tion invitations, and being exempt from exams suddenly seem to matter. The flower of life suddenly blooms. The bloom slowly and carefully opens to face the world; a world that can be harsh or a world that can hold limitless opportunities. The senior realizes a challenge is facing him. This challenge is accepted as part of life. The senior’s open hand takes this challenge and forms a fist of protection around it.

Beginning their year with a record-breaking magazine sale, the juniors proved to be a hard- working group. The juniors sponsored the second annual Power- Puff Football Classic, which was highlighted by the crowning of the “Queen,” Wayne Mack. The Ju- niors were defeated by the Seniors with a score of 26 to 0. Prior to Thanksgiving holidays, two turkeys were raffled by the money-making juniors. The proceeds from their projects went toward the annual Junior-Senior Prom which is always a special event at S. M. S. H. Under the faithful guidance of Mrs. Dean and Mr. Hiott, the juniors experienced a very success- ful year. ROBERT HUTTO practices the “seek and you shall find method of typing.

Whether on the football field, the basketball court, the baseball diamond, the track field, in the band, or leading cheers, the Juniors were ever willing to give their best.

With each new day, the Sophomore realizes that he truly belongs to the high school group. Assignments become more difficult and his teachers expect more from him. The Sophomore becomes eager to participate and strives to prove to his upper classmen that he is capable of fulfilling difficult tasks. He broadens his perspective by joining organizations and playing in athletic contests. Because of his many achieve- ments, the self-confidence of the Sophomore is strengthened. As the year comes to an end, the Sophomore reviews his past years’ memories and looks for- ward with eager anticipation to a sparkling Junior year.

This year was no ex- ception; each day was filled with excitement and fun. Many sophomore boys faced the challenge of athletic competition. Not to be outshone by the boys, many of the girls displayed their talents on the basketball court. Others cheered the S.M.H.S. teams on to victory, not only as cheer- leaders but also as involved spectators. The beginning of the year brought amusement and even embarrassment to those initiated in the Beta Club and F.H.A. As the year progressed, a sense of belonging became apparent in those taking an active part in their school affairs. The Sopho- mores were accepted as active participants in school activities and on the playing fields.

Sopho- mores. Not only did they encounter the challenges of academics and athletics, but also the challenge of self-control over their thoughts and emotions. Each passing day in the lives of the individual Sophomores brought them to better understand- ings of their own emotions. Through their actions, many of the Sophomores proved to their teachers and friends that they were truly mature individu- als who were capable of controlling their thoughts and emotions. This proved to be a giant step toward the maturity of these Sophomores. EXCHANGING JOKES is a favorite game of study hall Sophomores.

Striving for individual recognition and not as a member of the group, the Freshman pre- pares to meet the challenges with which he is faced. New ideas of different subjects are formed and his fear of expressing his own opinion is suppressed. Being able to participate in various school activi- ties, the Freshman experiences the transition of belonging to the high school group. With each new challenge faced, the achievements of the individual Freshman are emphatically recognized by faculty and upper classmen.

Others learned the meaning of responsibility by serving on the Newspaper Staff, the Student Council, or playing in the band. In sports, the junior varsity teams and cheering squads consisted mostly of Freshmen. Several of the boys proved their value to the varsity teams as future stars.

The upperclassmen were also a little bewildered for there were over eighty new students in the eighth grade. This vast number often caused mass confusion in the haTls. The Sub-Freshmen made an easy adjustment to high school life and soon began to feel els if they were an important part of S.M.H.S. Among their contributions were representation on the Student Council and membership on the junior varsity football and basketball teams.

No longer were they the insecure in- dividuals who had been afraid to participate in high school activities. They had become mature young men and women who had reached the threshold of their self-assurance. Various goals were visualized by the Sub-Fresh- men and they learned that only through hard work and determination could these goals be reached. As Sub-Freshmen, the individuals began to make the challenging climb to reach their final goal—gradua- tion from high school.

Showing interest in and concern for the students in class or out, the faculty strives for better student-teacher rela- tionships. A familiar face at S.M.H.S. is Mrs. Willie Bran- denburg. She is kept busy teaching classes of Al- gebra I and eighth grade arithmetic. The S.M.H.S. band has gained a praise-worthy reputation under the leadership of Mr. Kenneth Creekmore. With his help the band has received many trophies and honors. As head of the Business Education Department, Mrs. Evelyn Crutchfield teaches typing, short- hand, and bookkeeping. Her other activities in- clude sponsoring the Saints’ Scroll and the sen- ior class. Always busy at work, Coach Otis Culclasure takes an active part in S.M.H.S. activities. Serving as head coach, Mr. Culclasure spends much of his time at football and basketball sessions. In addi- tion, he teaches political science, social studies, and history. SETTING HER CLOCK for a timed writing is part of Mrs. Crutchfield’s daily duties. SNEERING SILENTLY, Mr. Culclasure finds his political science class amusing. THE SERMON OF THE WEEK is preached by Mr. Dantzler. NOTHING ESCAPES the roving eyes of Mrs. Dean. Their Time Is Ours In his second year of teaching at S.M.H.S., Mr. P. H. Dantzler heads the agriculture department and sponsors the Future Fanners of America chapter. He also advises the soil judging team. Teaching five classes of history at S.M.H.S. keeps Mrs. Katherine Dean constantly on the go. Much of her time and energy is given to the Junior class of which she is a co-sponsor. Whether in the art lab or in the English class- room, Mrs. Bess Duke devotes her time to S.M.H.S. students. In addition to her teaching abilities, she is the advisor of the “Yellow Jacket.” This year Mrs. Mary Patricia Felkel has taken over one of the most difficult tasks at S.M.H.S. Her day’s schedule consists of keeping order in six study halls—a job that requires much patience. 116 MRS. DUKE pauses to hear a student’s view- point.

Teachers Involve to Help Showing great interest in his students and their activities, Mr. Roy Hiott is a favorite at S.M.H.S. His day’s agenda includes teaching French and English; he is also the co-sponsor of the Junior class. In charge of the Home Economics department at S.M.H.S. is Mrs. Neva Livingston, who hails from Orangeburg. Besides teaching Home Economics and Family Living, she is the sponsor of the Fu- ture Homemakers of America. In her first year at S.M.H.S., Miss Henrianne God- dard’s day is spent teaching English to the Juniors and Sub-Freshmen. She is also the sponsor of our school’s first Drama Club. “A friend to all” describes Mrs. Milly McLaugh- lin, who teaches Chemistry, Biology, and General Math. Sponsoring the Student Council also oc- cupies much of her time. GIVING HER STUDENTS A WARNING LOOK, Miss God- dard dares them to continue their unnecessary conversation. PAUSING from her explanation of the lesson, Mrs. Mc- Laughlin listens to a student's question. 11� SELECTING NEW BOOKS for the library is a phase of Mrs. Nelson’s work. WITH THE ROLL CALL COMPLETED, Mrs. Betty Prickett is ready to begin her P.E. class. TAKING NOTES is part of Mr. Robinson's teaching preparation. CHECKING TESTS, Mrs. Elizabeth Prickett admires a paper. Teaching Spans Learning Acting as full-time librarian at S.M.H.S. is Mrs. Elizabeth Nelson. Although she is kept busy in the library, she finds time to sponsor the Beta Club and to accompany them to the Beta Club Conven- tion each year. Spending the majority of her school day in the gym is Mrs. Betty Prickett, who heads the Physi- cal Education Department for girls. She is also an avid follower of S.M.H.S. sports events. Before being called into the National Guard in January, Mr. Jim Robinson taught boys’ Physical Education and one class of Social Studies. He also served as coach of the Girls’ J.V. Team and assis- tant coach of varsity sports. Mrs. Elizabeth Prickett is a familiar face to math students at S.M.H.S. Her day’s routine includes teaching classes of geometry, algebra, and trigonometry. Teachers Mold Futures In his third year as a faculty member at S.M.H.S., Mr. Gamble Roquemore teaches physics, physical science, health, and drivers’ education. He also serves as assistant varsity football and basketball coach, J.V. Boys’ basketball coach, and baseball coach. Filling the vacancy left by Coach Robinson, Mr. Frank Leonard assumed teaching duties second semester. He coached the J.V. Girls’ basketball team for the remainder of the season. Coach Leonard is the instructor of five P.E. classes and a class of social studies. Serving as our guidance counselor and Latin teacher is Mrs. Ellen Shirer. Counseling and test- ing the students at S.M.H.S. takes up much of Mrs. Shirer’s school day. Teaching the lower-classmen science, arithme- tic, and general math proves to be a full day’s job for Mrs. Jeannette Stabler. Mrs. Stabler returns as a full-time faculty member after several years of substitute teaching. ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP, Mr. Roquemore explains a physics problem to Kristi Knight. ALTHOUGH Coach Leonard demands complete attention in his class, he himself appears to be in a trance. 122 AMUSED BY HER STUDENT, Mrs. Shirer takes time out to chuckle. WITH A WARNING LOOK, Mrs. Stabler dares her students to misbehave. 123 PAUSING from his busy schedule, Mr. Ott reflects on a humorous incident. DURING her lunch break, Mrs. Ott catches up on the latest news. 124 Leaders Are Builders In his fourth year as principal, Mr. Thad Ott leads a busy school schedule. In the fall he assists in coaching varsity football and in the winter he as- sumes the duties as head coach for the Jackettes’ basketball team. Serving as secretary for Mr. Garris is Mrs. Doris Ott. She is also the sponsor of the football cheerleaders and accompanies the girls’ basketball team to off games. In serving as superintendent of our school dis- trict, Mr. H. F. Garris is interested in the activi- ties of the students whether in the classroom or out. He is an avid sports fan and also attends other extracurricular activities. Mrs. Yvonne Brady, in her first year as fulltime secretary, can be found busy on the job anytime during the school day. Her duties are often mount- ing, but she is always working with a smile. DISCUSSING school problems, Mr. Garris talks with Mr. Culclasure. COUNTING MONEY is often a part of Mrs. Brady’s busy routine. 125 Lunchroom Staff Offers Hardy Lunches The school explodes each day with the ringing of the first lunch bell. Hungry students rush to the lunchroom to find a front place in line. Although operating on a strained budget, the lunchroom workers’ chief goal is nutrition. Each day the lunchroom staff works hard to prepare hardy lunches for the students and the faculty members of S.M.H.S. Mrs. Oliver and her staff are very dedicated and they deserve the thanks and ap- preciation of the entire student body. SURROUNDED BY TRAYS, Mrs. Oliver begins to serve the food. MOPPING FLOORS is a daily task for the lunchroom workers. 126 AFTER SCRAPING THE TRAYS, Martha Johnson prepares to send them through the washing cycle. STEAMING SOUP is a favorite dish on chilly days. 127 CHECKING his mail each morning begins Mr. Fogle's busy day. COUNTING his change, James Fridia decides to buy a Coke. Efficiency Brings About Effectiveness To find someone always on the go, one must only look to Mr. Fogle. Whether on the tractor, in his workshop, or in the school building, Mr. Fogle energetically keeps the school in running order. His job is one which often receives little credit; but, we as students should be thankful that we have such dedicated people as Mr. Fogle and his maintenance department Each and every day these men work diligently to help make our school as functional as possible. Without them, our school would not function as ef- ficiently and effectively as it does. 128 SILHOUETTED against a recently replaced lightbulb, Mr. Fogle replaces the cover. PAUSING from his work, James Preston gives directions to a co-worker. 129 People United Working Projections of Organizations Elections presidents elected initiations members installed ninety average you’re in!

SURROUNDED BY BELLS, Debbie Ulmer carefully follows her music. 132 Tedious Practice Makes Avid Musicians Beginning long practice sessions before the open- ing of school, the marching band performed well during the half-time ceremonies at the football games. Interesting innovations at halftime such as fire batons at Halloween and background music for Homecoming added special interest to these events. Later during basketball season, many games were brightened by the presence of the Pep Band. It was composed of members of the marching band. Several students also participated in the Santee Conference held at Holly Hill in February. The band presented its Christmas Concert in December and its Spring Concert in May. Present- ed in the gym, these concerts were enjoyed by the community as well as many SMHS students. MYSTICALLY, Jackie Keefe and Debbie Ulmer exchange fire batons at Halloween’s half-time. RESTING with their instruments, the band takes a break during summer practice. EXCITEDLY the Dance Band‘awaits their long trip to Tennessee. EARNESTLY, Jeannette Carroll. Clinny Lowder. and Marian Sijrmon perform at the Christmas Conceit. Band Whistles Tune of Achievement Victory followed the band to its many contests during the year. Participating in the Furman Uni- versity Contest, the band captured the first place trophy in Class A. October brought the Orangeburg County Fair Contest where the band received recognition with the second place award. In the State Band Contest held at Lower Richland High School, second place was awarded the band in marching competition. Later the band received first place in the inspection division, scor- ing 99.6 out of a possible 100 points. In March the Dance Band won fifth place at the Mid-South Jazz Festival at Austin Peary State University. 134 SPINNING PINWHEELS was a winning maneuver of the award winning band. FRAMED by the trophy, they later won, the band performs its concert number at Furman.

Betas Boast Con - vention Hijinks “Smart,” “brainy,” and “egghead” are the usual slanderous nicknames synonymous with Beta Club members. But Betas are generally far removed from these drab sterotypes. While scholars at best, many Betas participate in many other extracurricular activities such as athletics, Student Council, chorus, and clubs. The yearly South Carolina Beta Club Conven- tion held in Columbia is the highlight of the Beta year. To raise money for the candidacy of Janice Wolfe for Vice-president, the Betas held two suc- cessful bake sales. Although Janice and the entire club did a splendid job of campaigning, Janice lost But even in losing, the Betas had a great deal of fun in campaigning. Stimulated on by their advisor, Mrs. Elizabeth Nelson, the Betas led the school into a good and prosperous year. 136 FRONT ROW: Karen Robinson. Dale Wilkes. David West- bury, SECOND ROW: Mary Smoak.

Outstanding Athletes Comprise Block S Club The honored athletes of SMHS, who had lettered in a sport, worked diligently to build the Block S Club. Sponsored by Coach Otis Culclasure, the Block S Club stood as an institution of recognition for physical achievement. In the fall, the Block S Club sold bright gold and black pens, with the 1969-70 football schedule imprinted on them. These pens which dominated SMHS this year provided easy reference to the football calendar. Later in the year, the Block S Club took up another project. This time it was gold and black Yellow Jacket cushions which flooded the school. Out of two tremendous boxes lodged in the annual room, these cushions slowly dwindled away until the last one was sold. Honoring skill in athletics and enticing the student body, the Block S Club worked with enthu- siasm and pride.

MO Bus Drivers Have Drive Before dawn of each school day a group of drowsy, sleepy-eyed bus drivers awake and prepare for a wide-awake job. A morning, and, later, an after- noon of caution, discipline, and order awaits them. With a sense of professionalism, the bus drivers accept their responsibilities with youthful enthusi- asm. But besides the everyday driving the bus drivers have to prepare forms each morning, report broken equipment, and complete their reports monthly. With all the enjoyment and agony a bus driver endures, the monthly pay check or a small child’s smile reminds him that it’s all really worth it PULIJNG IN' with the last Ims is always embarrassing:.

Junior Varsity Football Cheerleaders Lead Homecoming Victory Though young and inexperienced as cheerleaders, the Junior Varsity cheerleaders were a stirring group. Filling the school with signs and smart uni- forms, these cheerleaders led their team on to vic- tory again and again. Their pep rallies in the gym echoed the perfection of that possessed by the Var- sity cheerleaders. Because many Varsity cheerleaders were spon- sored at Homecoming, the Junior Varsity eagerly stepped in. As the game progressed, their ner- vousness gradually disappeared and they led the students in cheering for the only win of the season. 143 53532323534823234823234823 RHYTHMICALLY, the cheerleaders swing through a cheer at a pep rally. QUICK YELLS provide instant excitement at football games. Varsity Football Cheerleaders Lead Crowds of Excited Spectators Through a season of only a single victory, the foot- ball cheerleaders were always perplexed with problems. Initiating new ideas to keep spirits alive seemed an unsurmountable task. Tremendous brightly colored signs and enthusi- astic pep rallies proved the cheerleaders were win- ning their battle. Challenging the student body to join in with en- thusiasm evoked a sense of responsibility in every student. Aided by the pep band at pep rallies and the marching band at football games, the cheerleaders managed to project the spirit of a winning school. Though disheartened by every defeat, the cheerleaders approached each game with new hope for victory and with an enthusiasm for triumph.

Basketball Cheerleaders Spark School Spirit Coordinating claps and screeching yells, the var- sity basketball cheerleaders became quick thinkers. But occassionally, spirited laughter exploded into the air, as a girl forgot her cheer. Nominated in November by the Student Coun- cil, the cheerleaders were elected by the student body. Later, after many hectic practice sessions, they began a season of spirited pep rallies and ball games. And to arouse school spirit, signs were plastered throughout the school to proclaim the pride of the cheerleaders in their teams. Rallied by enthusiasm and obsessed by duty, the basketball cheerleaders were a most impressive and effective cheerleading squad. M6 Junior Varsity Basketball Cheerleaders Arouse Pep Elected in November by the student body, the Junior Varsity Basketball cheerleaders were an inexperienced group. But after many ardent prac- tices and confusing games, they steadily grew bet- ter. Soon after their election by the student body, the Junior Varsity cheerleaders began to take on a multitude of problems. Following a quick and hec- tic trip to Columbia, the cheerleaders finally decid- ed on their uniforms. With the catastrophic effect on their first game, the novice Junior Varsity cheerleaders realized the tediousness of cheerlead- ing. But the Junior Varsity cheerleaders were more than mere leaders of cheers, they were outlets of emotion. Eating at Hardee’s after every “off game”, their faces expressed an agonizing defeat or glorious victory. Finally, by the end of the season these girls had matured into a free and frolicky cheerleading group. SWINGING at a pep rally, the Junior Varsity cheerleaders give their team a will to win. VICTORY, an important and happy cheer, is led with a smile. STOOPING, the cheerleaders strain to show emotion. Diane Parrish, Brenda Wannamuker. Vicki Wylie, Bonnie Westbury.

To raise some “green dough,” they conducted a Progressive Farmer Magazine subscription drive, and candy sale. This money was then used to ob- tain 5000 pine seedlings Later, after much brainwork, Chapter Farmer Degrees were awarded to five lucky members. Also there were a list of high honors to several judging teams. The cow team placed fourth in Federation. The diplomats placed first in Federation and sec- ond in district The Soil Team placed first in Fed- eration, first in district, first in the State and won a long exciting tornado-ridden journey to Oklahoma where they became the nineteenth best national team out of sixty-two competing.

Students poured out of the building to the faint sound of the fire truck siren. Suddenly, the fire truck appeared overflowing with annual staffers and picket signs advertising the annual. Because of this tremendous advertis- ing campaign, over 200 annuals were sold. But the real value of the annual lies in the book itself. This year’s Saints Scroll received an award from Publication Workshop at Lake Junaluska for best layout and design. Also, its size has been increased from 7‘A x 10Vi to 8Vi” x 11” and ex- panded to over one-hundred and ninety pages. Overseen by editor Julian Wiles and financed through the efforts of Business manager, Norma Kellers, the SAINTS SCROLL grew in size and coverage.

First, to boost the spirit of the students and the football team, a “spirit” funeral was held. Jerry Wiles, acting as the “dead spirit incarnate,” final- ly rose when the awakened crowd reached its height of welcomed music, clapping hands, and participation of all in yelling. Under the direction and guidance of Mrs. Millie McLaughlin, the Student Council carried out their governmental duties efficiently. They established rules for school dances, nominated cheerleaders, and later nominated Student Council officers for 1970-71. Upon a request from the political science class, a list of suggestions for improving discipline in the school was presented to the student body and the administration. With elections, May Court, Homecoming, and year-round candy selling, the Student Council es- tablished itself as a true organizer of student ac- tivities. 156 MAKING CHANGE, Harry Ott helps his fellow student councilmen sell candy at the ten-minute break.

Yellow Jacket Heralds School Events Updating the news this year, the YELLOW JACKET had been attempting to produce a more meaningful newspaper. The staff, headed by co-aditors Karen Robinson and Kristi Knight, have published 6 issues this year. Besides the usual selling of ads, the Yellow Jacket sponsored two important school events to make money. Halloween fun was provided at the Harvest Festival, which is held in the gym each fall. Later in the spring, beauty and talent were spotlighted at the annual Yellow Jacket Beauty and Talent contest. These events and publications added greatly to student life at S.M.H.S.
