The poetry and songs of centuries echo in many ways the human calamity of unfulfilled hopes and smashed dreams. No such despair characterizes the Class of 1981. Your class recognized from the beginning that high school is, in a sense, the last stop of your young years, and your experiences here seem to overflow with friendship, laughter, and the unforgettably gentle pleasure of familiarity. You have respected each other; you have found and cemented lasting relationships; above all, you have enjoyed yourselves, blending academic seriousness with a light, sensitive social scene. There is service to be rendered on the local, state, and national levels. The starting point of this great task is good school preparedness. We want our students to become self-reliant and be in a position to take their respectful places in our society. Milton once called time the subtle thief of youth. Do not let this clockwork larceny destroy your zest; life is too short to tamper with the sweetness of moments well lived'. i 1 t Fondly and with best wishes always, T� 7o 1 t-QV T T?.lris4 A vk.� ' Walter L.

Principal f 4 PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE These are the faces of Saint Matthews High OPENING 5 Working, playing, learning, helping, and just plain posing — all helped the time to fly by bringing the year to a rapid end. Stydents were faced with decisions and challenges. They grasped for answers, solutions, and escapes. The draft for senior boys, the vote for a new presi- dent, the drug problem, the pollution of our natural resources forced changes all around. One most necessary change will be the move into a totally new structure. May time FLY to hasten the dawn of the first day. 8 STUDENT LIFE STUDENT LIFE 9 10 EDITOR’S MESSAGE TRIBUTE Ms. Janice Haynes Editor-in-Chief From the pen of the Editor Yellow Jacket Yellow Jacket Yellow Jacket Yellow Jacket Yellow Jacket STINGER ’81” marks the end of another phase of our lives, as the clock ticks on. The staff was confronted with incredible problems, but the layouts were finally finish- ed and sent to the publisher. We are grateful to our advisors, the year- book representative, the photographers, and the patrons who have helped us to achieve our goal. With pride and humility, we present the 1981 edition to the St. Matthews High School family. A Special Tribute to Our Advisors Special recognition is given to our two dedicated advisors, who worked hard to en- sure the production of a yearbook. We are grateful for their guidance and committment, and we thank them for their patience and diligence. Mrs. P. B. Johnson The Stinger Staff honors another outstan- ding Calhoun county educator by dedicating the 1981 edition to our basketball-football- track coach and physical education teacher, OSCAR DAYSON. For 23 years, he has helped to shape the character of the boys and girls with whom he has worked. He has guided the girls to several Conference and State Champion- ships. As track coach, he has experienced many successes with both teams, winning Dedicated to OSCAR DAYSON Teacher Coach Friend numerous state awards in various field events. Coach Dayson, for over a quarter century of cultivating our greatest natural resources (our students) we take great pride in dedicating this annual to you, and we pray that you will be granted the privilege to con- tinue your dedicated work for at least another decade. Thank you for being you and being here. DEDICATION 1 District Administrators (1) Dr. Donald Johnson Superintendent (2) J. R. Blassingame Associate Superintendent (3) E. W.

L. DENNIS COUNSELOR 18 FACULTY FACULTY 19 Ideals Educators dedicated to the ideals of higher education for an old, run-down high school fill the classrooms of St. Matthews High School. These are the people who solve the myriad problems in- volved in the mechanics of a progressing institu- tion. Their responsibilities do not, however, lie only in the subject-matter area and efficient operation of the curriculum; they also engender the spirit of our school, so necessary to the educational experience. It is to these individuals that the task of cultivating our students has been given; such dedication infinitely benefits the whole of St. Mat- thews High School. Mr. T. Arant Biology m n Mr. E.

CURRY, SANDRA SENIOR CLASS 35 Whether they were in or out of classes, seniors were involved in different happenings during the year, trying to make their marks on the pages of history. Cutting, sewing, crocheting, eating, or just plain relaxing - all played an integral role in their work at school. The clock seemed to speed up at lunchtime, leaving little time for much relaxation, but that did not matter too much. Day after day, week after week, many of the same activities seemed to recur. All of them were important. Each had its place in the formation of the future of tomorrow’s leaders - a future that was surely on the Wing. 36 SENIOR CLASS Posing for the photographer was just one more means of passing the time away. Some have spent the very best days of their lives acting and interacting with others. They hope it will not be the end, but for some, graduation means “farewell.” SENIOR CLASS 37 DALRYMPLE, VALERIE ELMORE, LINDA GLOVER, DELORIS GREEN, DONNA DIXON, LAURIE FLOYD, ISHMAEL CLOVER, JENNIFER GREEN, JANICE DRIGGERS, BETTY GARDNER, VALERIE GOVAN, JAMES GUINYARD, DELPHINE GUINYARD, WILLIAM HAIR, MARGARET HARDEN, NATHANIEL HEATLEY, KENNETH HAGGOOD, DOROTHY HAIR, TERRY HAYNES, CYNTHIA HICKSON, KAREN HAIR, ALFRED HAMMOND, LISA HAYNES, WANDA HICKSON, SANDRA HAYNES, JANICE HOUSER, CYNTHIA As time flies ... As time flies, the students at St. Matthews High School work hard to obtain a fuller educa- tion for their future endeavors. Some take ad- vantage of valuable time while others waste it, clowning or just playing around. Nevertheless, they seem to realize that as they grow older, they are becoming the men and women they have always wanted to be. 40 SENIOR CLASS ... a new day dawns. As they pass through different stages, seniors realize that tomorrow promises much, but time waits for no one. So they try to take advantage of each passing moment - challenging, wonder- ing, reflecting. Hard work and knowledge help to make suc- cess fun. And so - “Come fill the cup, and in the fire of Spring Your Winter garment of repentance fling; The Bird of Time has but a little way to flutter - And the Bird is on the Wing.” SENIOR CLASS 41 HOWELL, KEITH JAMISON, PRISCILLA JONES, ELIZABETH HOWELL, TONNEY JOHNSON, ABRAHAM JONES, JENNIFER KIMPSON, DIANE HYDRICK, PATTI JOHNSON, IDELLA JOYNER, BRENDA KIMPSON, JUDY JACKSON, ELEANOR JOHNSON, JOHN KELLER, EDDIE KING, ERNEST 42 SENIOR CLASS LARRYMORE, FELICIANE MALONE, JAMES MINTZ, BEVERLY NOBLE, DEBRA LARRYMORE, RICHARD LYKES, ERNESTINE MALONE, JASON MICKELLS, JIMMY MOSELY, JAMES T.

The final decision was a difficult one. but the colors, the flower, the motto, and the song soon became a part of the preparation for graduation — another “giant step” as time went by for the students who had spent so many days, weeks, and months wondering if it all would ever end. Color Gold and Motto Black Flower Song “We’ve Only Just Begun’ 50 SENIOR CLASS Who’s Who Among High School Students Hard work had a way of paying off for the seniors who diligently applied themselves. Being elected to Who’s Who in American High Schools is an honor that is not to be taken lightly. Time comes and goes, but in its coming and go- ing, few honors mean any more than joining the ranks of the outstanding high school students in the United States. Congratulations to these seniors who were chosen to represent St. Matthews High School. SENIOR CLASS 51 Senior’s Selection of Announcements Continues Tradition After twelve years of schooling, relief, nostalgia, anxie- ty, and “all of the above” finally came. The time seemed to fly as the clock struck off the hours of anticipation. Selecting graduation announcements represented a step into adulthood. Ordering them meant recognition of one time passage closing and another opening. An invita- tion to commencement, the exact beginning of further knowledge, responsibility, and growth, was a moment to be shared with family, friends, and teachers. 52 SENIOR CLASS SSEHTIAL5 ws ■m Caps and Gowns Are Ordered Caps and gowns were a symbolic part of the graduation ceremony. Measuring for caps and gowns brought seniors one step closer to graduation. As time continued to pass, the anticipated dream of commencement became almost real. Gowns represent the uniformity and unity of the Class of '81. As tassels were changed from one side to another, so were graduates simultaneously turned to new experiences and new directions. SENIOR CLASS 53 What Will You Be Doing in 10 Years? STEVEN BLEDSOE “I plan to be a band director. I shall have won a scholarship and received my music degree. VALARIE ALBERT I plan to be working in the field of advertising as a com- mercial artist.” DOROTHY HAGGOOD “By that time, I plan to be a registered nurse who has reached the highest degree in nursing.” BEVERLY MINTZ My goal is to become a computer expert or a master mathematician.” 54 SENIOR CLASS KEITH HOWELL “I plan to be in the Olym- pics competing for my third- consecutive gold medal as a 440 runner.” RICHARD LARRYMORE As for me, in ten years, I will be a well-established automobile mechanic.” BELINDA MYERS “By that time I will have received my master’s degree in English, and become what I have always dreamed of — an English professor.” SALLIE CHAPMAN By 1990, I shall have com- pleted my studies and I will be a computer engineer. TIMOTHY YOUNG “In ten years I shall be continuing my military career.” What will you be doing in ten years? SENIOR CLASS 55 Bequeathed Memories Add to Senior Legacy One of the familiar traditions continued at SMH as seniors published their last wills and testaments. Friends who were becoming seniors were the recipients of various items, including test answers, lockers, abilities, and general good times and memories. Seniors bequeathed other items to boy or girlfriends, a favorite brother or sister, a teammate, or a fellow class or club member. 56 SENIOR CLASS Graduation: It’s Only the Beginning The tears flowed Thick like gravy Nearing the end of 1980, Facing the world all alone. Leaving the place we all called home, To faraway places we shall roam, To seek success on our own. What appears to be the end, May be a new beginning, my friend.

With two years of ex- periences behind them, they began to take a better look at themselves. Their school pride improved considerably as they strived to earn the ti- tle “rising senior”, donning those attitudes they thought most becoming of seniors. As the clock began to wind down, the hour for the change began to approach. Soon the long-awaited metamorphosis was com- plete — Juniors became SENIORS. 62 JUNIORS 4 4 ' 1 JUNIORS 63 Class Officers PRESIDENT Stanley Robinson VICE PRESIDENT Gwendolyn Miller SECRETARY Shirley McCray TREASURER Robert Sabb ADAMS.

Each year the staff busies itself in the production of a few issues of a school newspaper. Material is gathered and developed by the staff, and other articles for publication are solicited from interested students. Mrs. P. B. Johnson Advisor Staff members are: Diana Albert. Stephen Toole, Arlette Bull, Teresa Flynn. Phyllis Riley, Cora English, David Walden, and Tyr- one Golson. 102 ORGANIZATIONS Art Club Art appreciation, painting, sculpture, ceramics, and drawing — all help make up the art curriculum. The year was trying for the classes because of the personnel changes taking place in the leadership of the department. First, Mr. Mooney resigned; then, Mr. Haynes replaced him temporarily; and, finally Mr. Coleman joined the faculty after the Christmas holi- days. The Art Club was responsible for the background of the Christmas program, and student drawings were displayed in the classroom during the year. Truly, the world of art was a busy one. o OJ Marching Band ... The St. Matthews High School Band, under the direction of Kenneth Creekmore, presented many outstanding halftime shows and concerts for our pleasure. This year’s band also added excitement to the competi- tion and parades of which they were a part. Their dedication and hard work always paid off with standing ovations and applause. Dur- ing the holidays, the band competed and won first place — a trophy and a cash award — in the Orangeburg Christmas parade. 104 Participating in an important facet of life Members of the Beta Club must maintain high academic status among their peers. The Beta Club has, as its purpose, to stimulate effort, reward achievement, and assist members to continue their education after high school. Beta Club French Club The French Club is a conglomerate of French I and French II students. Each student has a French name, and the organization fosters growth in language development and appreciation. 106 ORGANIZATIONS 1st row: Mrs. E. M. Glover, Barbara Gaffney. Beverly Mlntz.

Chapter wins State Awards and Office The all-girls soil judging team were state winners in 1980. The girls were among the first females in agriculture at St. Matthews High. Vernetia Bull won the first prize, a gold watch, and the team, consisting of Bull, Shelia Caldwell, Angela Colter, and Sharon Goodwine, won a trip to Oklahoma. Frank Parker, pictured at left, was elected president of the South Carolina Association of Future Farmers of America. Since his election during the summer of 1980, he has traveled extensively both in and out of South Carolina. 109 Future Homemakers of America The Future Homemakers of America Club was organized to offer students an opportunity to share their ideas and goals with each other. The members of this organization compete in state competition — competition for contests, speeches and offices. Mrs. A. Stokes is the advisor. Being involved is what made homemaking interesting. It was never too easy to pin a pattern, cut out material, sew the outfit together, plan a meal, and cook it. The paperwork seemed never- ending, but the students who belong- ed to the FHA enjoyed learning all about family life and living. 110 ORGANIZATIONS “Make Safety First” How proud SMHS was of the bus drivers who received the Safety Award for accident-free driving in 1980!

Under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Robinson, the St. Matthews High School Chorus has grown in number as well as in their performances. Blending their voices harmoniously, these dedicated musicians have practiced many long hours to get the songs just right. Their hard work and dedication have paid off in lots of loud applause and gracious reception throughout the school district and in neighboring towns.

ORGANIZATIONS 113 SMH Student Council St. Matthews High School had a student council that was com- prised of two representatives from each homeroom. These represent- atives did an excellent job of keeping their classmates informed about the work of the council. The Student Council busied itself attending state and local meet- ings of the SCASC. Eric Dayson, Phyllis Riley, Keith Williams, and Birdie Goodwine attended two of the meetings. Julianne Wright, president of the organization, called several meet- ings to sound out methods of problem-solving. Mrs. V. Perry, K. Westbury, and O. Dayson were advisors to the SMH Student Council. 114 STUDENT COUNCIL Drama Club s first production — “Snowee White and the Seven Chicks” Tryouts, rehearsals, forgotten lines — the production of “Snowee White and the Seven Chicks” was the task of the neophyte SMH Players. Under the direction of Mrs. Cason, Mrs. Johnson, and Mr. Westbury, the deter- mined group of players practiced until, finally, on Febru- ary 10 and 12, they presented the play, a comedy, to an enthusiastic audience. Snowee (Kenneth Heatley) tries to choose. ORGANIZATIONS 115 The 1981 Stinger Staff Planning, financing, laying out, and editing the 1981 Stinger was a humane task which was made more difficult by a lack of enthusiasm and cooper- ation on the part of the staff, almost resulting in this edition’s becoming a stalemate. Thanks to dedicated advisors — Ms. M. A. Gardner and Mrs. P. B. Johnson, who gave untir- ing, unselfish devotion to getting the job done, the 1981 STINGER went to the press in time to be pre- sented this year. 116 ORGANIZATIONS Annual Panic After school visitors to the St. Matthews High School campus became amazed at the work STINGER staff advisors did. To some, yearbook production meant only pasting pictures and writing a few paragraphs. For all of the staff members, yearbook work was a new experience, and han- dling it seemed to be a bit too much for them. — ERIN MUTHS 'Twas the day before deadline And all was not right Not a creature was stirring Not even a mite. The advisors screamed At the top of their lungs, “HELP! Mike Smith, with What’s to be done We can’t find the pictures The photographers are gone. The staff has deserted — This can’t go on!” Late into the night they worked until they got the annual finished and sent it away. The 1981 Stinger Staff consisted of Janice Haynes, Cynthia Houser, Beverly Mintz, James Mosley, Erica Brunson, Eleanor Jackson, Janice Green, Eric Dayson, Tony Williams, Nathaniel Harden, Veronica Brown, Cecil Scott, and Anna Lois Brunson.

During halftime, the sponsors pre- sented themselves to the crowd. Selecting the queen is always a difficult task, but, after much deliberation, a stroke of luck fell to Karen Hickson, escorted by Keith Howell. 120 QUEENS Miss Homecoming 1980 Miss Karen Hickson Receiving congratulations from former queen Gwendolyn Miller, who also crowned her Miss Homecoming, Karen Hickson was very proud and much elated to have been chosen. Feeling the exuberance of being a queen, Karen smiled as she began her reign, amid the warm congratulations of other sponsors and their escorts. Attendants to Miss Homecoming Ms. Cynthia Houser Senior First Attendant Quiet and demure, Cynthia has been con- tent to do her classwork and participate in school activities.

The Friday nights of September and October were the results of many other days spent under a hot sun. The exhaustion, cramped muscles, and aching backs molded the team into a competi- tive unit. To see the team slapping palms after a victory or cheering each other after a defeat was to find the vital results of the summer practices. Working together, the players found themselves experi- encing the excitement of competi- tion. 129 Unity marks the combined effort of SMH Varsity The smell of sweat in the locker room, the long runs of J. T. Mosley and Keith Howell, the joy of victory, and the agonizing sting of defeat, Eric Dayson’s getting first-down yardage the hard way, and the leadership of veteran seniors — this was the SMH ’80 season. It was not a winning season, but the team earned respect with pride in victory and stout hearts in the wan- ing moments. SENIORS ; Nathaniel Harden Melvin Wright Haggie Walker James T.

VARSITY BASKETBALL BOYS 135 Experience keys boys’ junior varsity to exciting season Young SMH students practiced, learned, and won as J-V basketball players. Guided in their efforts by coach Francis Ayers, the team worked constantly to improve their abilities, as individuals and as a team. The team leaders helped to instill enthusiasm in the other players, and all practiced dili- gently to improve the 1980 team. These young men combined to form a team proud in victory and defeat. 136 J-V BASKETBALL BOYS Fan and player enthusiasm were evident at the pep rallies. The band even got in on the action, adding a little spark to the cheerleaders’ moves. Teams were moved toward victory by the confi- dence the crowds continued to show at the spirited pep rallies. Poster contests, too, added to the desire for victory. JV BASKETBALL BOYS 137 SMH girls earn respect through daily practicing The victory circle was a familiar sight for the SMH girls basketball team after ballgames. The team had three starters returning from last year's 7-15 record, giving Coach Dayson a nucleus for the '80-81 season. All-Conference player Sandra Jackson, along with Debra Noble, Sylvia Cokley, Rose Lawrence, and Beverly Colter were the most expe- rienced players. The team’s overall record was not too impressive due to losses to 4-AAAA power Orangeburg-Wilkinson, 3AAA power Manning, and splits with 7th ranked 3AAA power Keenan and 4th 1A power Bowman. At the end of the regular season, the girls were second in the conference with a 9-3 record going into the conference tournament. As the STINGER went to press, they were looking forward to win- ning the conference championship and going on to the state playoffs. 138 GIRLS BASKETBALL i SCHEDULE Dec. 2, 5 ELLOREE Dec. 6 BOWMAN Dec. 9, 16 MANNING Dec. 12, 19 O-W Dec. 13 KEENAN Jan. 2, 30 DENMARK Jan. 6 BARNWELL Jan. 9 SWANSEA Jan.13 WAGNER Jan.16 EDISTO Jan.20 BAMBERG Jan.24 BOWMAN Jan. 31 KEENAN Feb. 3 BARNWELL Feb. 6 SWANSEA Feb. 10 WAGNER Feb.13 EDISTO Feb. 17 BAMBERG GIRLS BASKETBALL 139 J-V girls gain experience; best J-V record, 13-0 The success of a winning season and the excitement of competition charac- terized the SMH J-V girls basketball team. Implanted with spirit and determi- nation, these young girls practiced long hours anticipating the chance to become varsity players. Guided by Coach Tom Arant, the team developed talents, learned the discipline of sports, and experienced the thrill of victory. For most of the girls, the season was a final preparation before they became a part of the greatly intensified varsity pro- gram. God granted them the ability to run, so they used it. A steal here, an inter- ception there, a jump shot here, a driv- ing lay-up there — all coupled with teamwork and a love to fastbreak meant victory. Their motto was “If you believe you can!” They believed and they did! J-V GIRLS WERE UNDEFEATED!!!

Clad in sweat shirts and track shorts, the teams thrilled the fans with final sprints to win the long race and final bursts of strength to win a field event. Keith Howell was an outstanding runner who broke numerous records — state and conference; he hoped to break all records in 1981. SMH Volleyball team gains experience The 1980 volleyball season was filled with excitement. Many of the players were returning for the sec- ond season and knew the basics of the game. However, Coach Patri- cia Robinson helped the individu- als improve their ability and work together as a team. They gained valuable experience even though they were not quite as victorious as they had hoped to be. 142 SPORTS Cheerleaders set pace for SMH school spirit Setting the pace for school spirit, the cheer- leaders led the way with spirited yells and cheers. They practiced hard to learn new cheers so that they could lead the student body in an ener- getic round-up of school spirit. Their precise movements at pep rallies on the field and in the gym were instrumental in promoting vocal sup- port for the teams. Ms. L. Cheeseboro served as cheerleader sponsor.
