THE 1971 SAINTS' SCROLL Saint Matthews High School Saint Matthews, S. C. Volume XII CONTENTS Academics....................................... 8 Student Life.................................... 8 Organizations ..................................24 Sports..........................................38 People .........................................50 Advertising ....................................78 SMHS has changed The student no longer sees the world that way but THIS WAY. . . Students, teachers, new faces, old building, water fountains, team effort, portraits, questions, friendship, silhouettes, creaking steps, oak trees, hope. This way is our way Visions of reality awaken students. Delight, distress, dexterity, difficulty, determination, distraction, dedication Diffuse into the atmosphere of SMHS. A new decade is one year old. The seventies are here. Nineteen hundred seventy-one paves the way. 7 Academics, Student Life Open minds seek open books Opinion, oddity, opportunity, openmindedness, outburst, observation, obligation, offset the classroom to the SMHS students. The eager learn, the bored attend. Each student contributes in his own way. RIGHT: Kim Prickett and Kathy Kemmerlin enjoy one another's company before the morning classes start. BELOW: The SMHS girls varsity basketball team tasted bitter defeat this year. Shown here is the home game against St. George. Lovers, Laughers Losers, loungers SMHS rings with distinction. Her students come to school knowing the day holds expectations. English IV students find out that onomatopoeia is a 'real, live, honest to goodness' word and that Christopher Marlowe's poem, 'The Passionate Shepherd to His Love,’ written in the 1500's, describes today's hippy. Tired SMHS students come to school hoping that 40 winks can be caught during study hall or, if necessary, even in a classroom. Lovers long for recess— a dim corner and time for solitude. The girls' varsity basket- ball team learns the true feeling of defeat while the boys' varsity basketball team experiences quiet victory. SMHS is full of characteristics. It is one person with 237 functioning parts. Each one is a vital organ and is necessary for the main body to exist. ABOVE: (oey Tomlinson relaxes on a filing cabinet after having a sleepless night. LEFT: Mrs. Duke has the giggles as she discovers a student has a hidden camera. It What is school without people? Without people SMHS is an old building with empty halls. It is lifeless and the only sounds heard are the movements of the hands on the office clock. With the coming of students each weekday morning, SMHS comes to life. The crowded halls echo the gai- ety of youth and the auditorium becomes a meeting place. Students give life to a building which, in turn, gives shelter to its 255 member family. The two-way proposition works out well—the school progresses because of its students and the students progress because of the school. ABOVE: Each morning an empty hall awaits the arrival of the SMHS students. RIGHT: The changing of classes creates a lively atmosphere. When classes resume, emptiness once more prevails in the halls. 12 LEFT: With the presentation of Christmas music by the Orange- burg High Chorus, the auditorium is filled with a capacity crowd consisting of visitors and students. BELOW: The auditorium becomes bare when not filled with the warmth of friendship. The solitude reflects memories of bygone events. How it is. . . 12:00 all's well 12:02 tension is mounting 12:04 fingers are thumping 12:06 stomachs are growling 12:08 impatience is prevailing 12:10 countdown is starting 12:12 mass confusion IT'S TIME FOR LUNCH! At 12:12 each weekday the SMHS lunchroom becomes the most congested area in St. Matthews. Approximately 150 supposedly hungry students make a mad dash to the nearby lunchroom in hopes of getting near the front of the line. Most of these ef- forts are useless—the long line with its long wait- ing is inevitable. The half an hour reserved for lunch is a time of free- dom from classes, especially that math problem that took so long to work. It's a time for relaxation and gossip. It's a time that laughter rings out. And most of all it's a time to enjoy. ABOVE: The inevitable long line is present everyday. Students at SMHS like to eat but not wait. RIGHT: Mrs. Oliver and her staff prepare 5 grand meals a week. For the low price of $1.25, what more can you ask? M Outstanding Juniors Each year shortly after exams, the faculty votes on the boys and girls who they think are eligible for Boys' State and Girls' State. Due to the increase of schools in the St. Matthews area, SMHS was allowed only 1 girl representative for Girls' State and 3 boys for Boys' State. Chosen for Girls' State was Nova Jones. The 3 boys were Joe Stevens, Andy Brady, and Gary Porth. LEFT: Nova Jones shows her happiness at being chosen to Girls' State. Nova hopes to have an enjoyable week in the capital city. BELOW: The three junior boys chosen for Boys' State are Andy Brady, joe Stevens, and Gary Porth. They all hope to have an ex- citing week in Charleston. Talented Students Take Art Course. At the end of the 10 minute break, every student at SMHS goes to a class except for the 12 who are taking art. They stomp into the auditorium, go behind the curtain and vanish from eyesight. Once behind the curtain, classes are over and fun begins. That is, if they are talented. But all 12 are talented so the course is a success! The art room is located on the left side of the stage and is fondly called the art 'closet' by Mrs. Duke who has taught art at SMHS for 4 years. The 12 art students have projects ranging from charcoal portraits, still life, landscapes, seascapes, and figure studies. You name it, the art class has done it. They paint on stage and also go on frequent field trips around the schoolhouse. ABOVE: Recreating a landscape is a difficult task as Mickey Eudy is finding out. When completed, the picture will be hung in the hall. RIGHT: A modern art drawing is Lora Maud Abie's present pro- ject. It will be her one-and-only project until its completion. 16 LEFT:Stephanie Holman Is enjoying her work on a charcoal sketch. After being framed, it will be put on display for the students of SMHS to view. BELOW: joe Stevens and Bruce Thibault share the same bench as they work on their projects. Bruce and joe both have displayed quite a few of their finished works. 17 Outstanding Seniors Sweep up Honors Each year, the senior at SMHS who has made the highest score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test is proclaimed Star Student. The honor this year is be- stowed upon Lynn Duke. Lynn enjoys reading and playing the piano. She is a member of the SMHS marching, concert, and dance bands, the Beta Club, the Saints' Scroll, and the girls' varsity basketball team. The William Thompson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution has chosen Janice Wolfe for the Good Citizen Award. The honor is given to the se- nior girl who has shown characteristics of leadership, scholarship, and school citizenship. All local winners are eligible for the State Good Citizen Award. RIGHT: DAR Good Citizen, Janice Wolfe, proudly stands by the Stars and Stripes. BELOW: Lynn Duke, the Star Student of 1971, enjoys being a member of the SMHS band. Who's Who and Betty Crocker David Westbury, Dale Wilkes, and Janice Wolfe have been named to Merit Publishing Company's Who's Who Among American High School Students, 1970- 71. The 3 seniors, chosen by the faculty, will have their biographies published in Merit's fifth annual edition. They will also be eligible for 1 of 10 scholarships of- fered by the company. SMHS proudly claims Deborah Hildebrand as the 1971 Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow. Deborah was chosen for her performance in a written knowl- edge and attitude examination administered to the senior girls. She received a specially designed award from General Mills, sponsor of the annual education program. Also, she is now eligible for state and na- tional honors, including one of 102 college scholar- ships totaling $110,000.

The learning process is carried out in many ways simply because SMHS teachers have their own technique for teaching. Math teachers may prefer to have students work problems on the board while the history teachers require participation from the students' desks. Chemistry demands a lot of time in the lab while English may take individual attention. Typewriting requires a good bit of noise no matter how you look at it, while French may be relatively quiet. With these different techniques SMHS becomes a better place to learn. RIGHT: David Westbury, Dale Wilkes, and Lynn Duke seem to be enjoying their college algebra ciasswork. Students daily work problems on the board. BELOW: Wayne Rucker discovers that Mr. Hiott knows the an- swer to the English problem that he couldn't figure out. 20 ABOVE: Mr. Kearse's fourth period chemistry class finds experi- menting in the lab a challenge.

Happiness With only one victory to their credit, the SMHS Yellow Jackets ended the season with a 14-6 homecoming victory over Harleyville-Ridgeville. Also victorious were Janice Bolton and Marilyn Scott, who reigned as this year's homecoming queens. The once-a-year event was highlighted by special music presented by the SMHS marching band. Fea- tured were Jackie Keefe with a fire baton routine and a drum solo by Daniel Rivers. The success of the night was quite evident to the capa- city crowd as it witnessed the happy night of the SMHS Yellow Jackets.

Minds link and friendships form. Throughout 1971 friendships happen the SMHS way. The band plays on 'Practice makes perfect' is a well known phrase with the SMHS band. The eager group began another year of hard practice in middle August. Football season kept the band busy boosting the team along and performing at half time. The marching band under the field directorship of drum majorette Dale Wilkes, also participated in the Furman University Marching Contest and the S. C. State Marching Con- test in Columbia. Phil Crider served as band captain, Randy Coleman- 1st lieuntenant, Jackie Keefe-reporter, and Charles Coleman-librarian. The Christmas season echoed in the annual Christmas Concert and Randy Coleman participated in the S. C. Junior All-State Band in January. In February SMHS hosted the Santee Conference Band composed of band students from Holly Hill, Orangeburg, Swansea, and St. Matthews. During the spring the Dance Band performed at sever- al schools and the annual Spring Concert was held in May.

Newspaper Thrives The hard-working Yellow Jacket staff surprised stu- dents the first day of school with their first edition. Ed- itor Dale Wilkes and assistant editor Eddie Allen headed the job of putting the school news to print. Mrs. Bess Duke served as advisor. The staff raised money by raffling a tape player and presenting the 'Miss Yellow Jacket' Contest and talent show in the spring.

Because of the all-time low sales in advertising, the staff desperately sold candy, SMHS pins, school supplies, and chimes throughout the year. Despite hardship, the staff managed to stick together with the experienced help of Mrs. Evelyn Crutchfield who is the annual advisor. ABOVE: Front: Janice Wolfe, Marilyn Scott, Everleen Keller, Jeanette Carroll, Joan Singletary, Debbie Ulmer, Nova Jones, Deborah Hildebrand, Marshall Caldwell, Johnny Dukes, Carolyn Thompson, Dorothy Larrymore, Daniel Rivers, Brenda Knight, Wanda Dyches, Thomas Murphy, Mary Kaiser, Kenneth Kizer, Lynn Duke, and Cliffy Inabinet.

The organization sold SMHS V-necked sweaters and school supplies. The 11-man crew worked under the guid- ance of Mr. Culclasure and tried to set an example for other students to follow.

Students obtaining a 90 or above average for the preced- ing year belong to the club. Beta members were kept busy selling cakes, pies, and cookies and washing cars to raise money to attend the state convention held Feb. 19-21 in Columbia. LEFT: The 10-member Bela Club finds the monthly magazine a welcome enjoyment. BELOW: Officers of the Beta Club are Dave Banks, V-P; David Westbury, Pres.; and Nova Jones, Sec-Treas. Typical Morning of 500-7957 He gets up at 5:45 every morning, well, almost every morning, at the blast of some hard rock music from the greatest of all inventions, the clock-radio, and with youthful eagerness says, 'Ugh-it's still dark outside.’ Then, after an encouraging pep talk from his parents like—'Be careful. Someone might crash into you in all that fog!' He leaves exactly at 7:00 or 7:05, or 7:10. But, a good bus driver always defogs his windows and mirrors before leaving, so naturally, he hops out and climbs onto the handy little step, which is about four feet off the ground, with his trusty little Scot Towel and proceeds to wipe off the dew, dust, bugs, rabbits, etc. . . . All of the little dears are standing by the road waiting patiently and here he comes at top speed, 35 M.P.H., and when he is almost to a complete stop, they all pile on. One has to show his latest acrobatic stunt while another is crying because he had to sit by a girl. So, calmly and with motherly love, he looks up and says, 'Sit down and shut up!!' This is a typical morning of bus number 500-7957. RIGHT: The daily bus check insures safe traveling. BELOW: The 1971 student bus drivers. SMHS has large FHA chapter The 1970-71 Chapter of the Future Homemakers of America sponsored by Mrs. Livingston sold Stanley products and candy. One of its functions this year was to organize 14 committees—scrapbook, chapel pro- gram, social and recreation, welfare, civic, and public relations were some of them. A chairman was the head of each committee and she was allowed to select girls to work with her. ABOVE: Officers of FHA are Mary Kaiser, Pres.; Janice Bolton, V- P; Deborah Hildebrand, Sec.; and Dorothy Larrymore, Treas.

The student body of SMHS cares. Sports express our way. Jackets Have Tough Season The football story for the 70-71 Yellow Jackets could be summed up in the phrase 'Missed-Opportunities.' The record of 2-6-2 does not really indicate the whole aspect of the season. Only two of the games were 'out of doubt,' and most went down to the final gun. The boys seemed to jell more as a team toward the end of the season, and really played some exciting football during this span. But as the summation said, Missed- Opportunities' kept the Yellow Jackets from a good year. Injuries to some key personnel hurt the team as far as the whole year was concerned, with most of these injuries taking players out of the line-up for the re- mainder of the year.

Jackettes face year of Rebuilding After losing all six of last year's starting players, the Jackettes faced a long and hard year of rebuilding. Led by co-captains Robin Livingston and Lora Maude Able, the Jackettes saw few victories despite a hard effort. The Jackettes' victory came at home against Estill defeating them 43-28. Jackie Brady, Elizabeth Matthews, and Becky Prickett led the Jackettes' scoring. ABOVE: Johnnie Lynn Dukes, Ann Paulling, Lynn Duke.

Behind the shooting of Thomas Murphy and Harold Roach, the superb ball handling of Daniel Jefferson and rebounding of Bernard Anderson and Joe Stevens, the Yellow Jackets were playing their opponents good games and pleasing the crowds.

During time outs the six cheerleaders scurry to their places on the gym floor to conduct a hurried but perfected cheer. With feet stomping and hands clapping, the fans par- ticipate with a vigorous rhythm. During half-time, while the boys are resting, the cheerleaders raffle off two delicious homemade cakes and delightful winners carry off the prize. With shy voices and boisterous spirits, the cheerleaders lead the fans in the Alma Mater. The Alma Mater is sung at half-time of every game. BELOW: Front row: Debbie Ulmer, Nettie Felder. Middle row: Sheila Turkvan, Sara Tomlinson Back row: Dorothy Larrymore, Robin Livingston (head), Jackie Brady Have you got that spirit? The football cheerleaders, the 6 Franciscan monks, have acquired their uniforms by soliciting donations from generous townspeople. With careful selection of just the right pattern, they had their outfits custom- made. Even though the crowds at off-games were relatively small, the troops of fans at homegames more than made up for the size. By making their own football stickers, they managed to keep the team's morale high and the fans cheering. Although keeping busy with games, the cheerleaders still find time for a bake sale. Misty nights bring drippy looks but not so spirits. Urging the team on are Debbie Walling, Jackie Brady, Debbie Ulmer, and Sara Tomlinson. BELOW: Front row: Jackie Brady, Debbie Ulmer Middle row: Robin Livingston, Sara Tomlinson Back row: Brenda Rucker (head), Debbie Walling PEOPLE Together we proceed, Divided we stumble Mischief, maturity, merit, misunderstanding, manners, merriment, memory make up the feelings of the SMHS people. Faculty and students are one. Each does his thing’ the SMHS way. 51 Two books, a triumphant smile, and a dream Seniors at SMHS walk with authority. The stairs creak with their determined steps. Being on the top of a twelve story pyramid gives them superiority over their underclassmen. Because they have more schooling then the ]uniors, they naturally think they are wiser so, of course, their load is usually two or less books. No longer first in the lunch line, the SMHS Seniors struggle not to lose dignity. Being put down by un- derclassmen is frowned upon by the Seniors so they keep their honor by racing to the lunchroom. Being the noisiest class SMHS has ever had bothers no one but teachers. The SMHS Seniors hardly notice their racket because with all the noise going on, who has time to pay attention to the teachers? When the necessary meetings and interviews with college representatives are held, the Seniors suddenly become silent and commence to plan and dream of that far away but very near world waiting for them. Lounging is a favorite pastime for SMHS Seniors.

Representing outstanding service in this Community Holley Funeral Home 106 Church Street St. Matthews Troubled Times Though the advertising staff of the Saints' Scroll managed a few sales, they still lacked enough sales to cover the cost of the Saints' Scroll. It isn't so much that they lacked initiative but they did lack the kind of enthusiasm it takes to win over worn out pocket- books. With the gradual increase of schools in the sur- rounding area, merchants and advertisers are being constantly bombarded from all directions. Support is one thing, but a bankrupt business is something else. So to our faithful 62 advertisers, we thank you. LEFT: Clark's Highway 21 '76' Station with Pool tables, Pin-Ball machines.
