An education, report cards, clubs and organiza- tions, football, basketball, homework and more home- work-but still there's something missing. A word so im- portant that the school could not function properly with- out it. Any guesses? If you're thinking about the stu- dents and teachers you get an A+. Thomas Hart IS the PEOPLE. To get a clear under- standing of how THA really works, one must get an in- side view of the school, a view of the people who make Thomas Hart what she is. | ---------------------------------------1 there’s no comparison. Add the square root ot the student body plus a pep rally with the T.H .A. cheerlead- ers and what do you get? SCHOOL SPIRIT! Teressa Carter, head cheerleader, and Teri Stukes, assistant head, along with Ca- thy Robbins, Jan Sligh, Connie Blackmon, Sharon Cauthen, Jeda Kelley, Paulette Lowe, and Sobie Soles, make up the cheerleaders of Thomas Hart. Ginger Gainey serves as mascot, and Sally Gainey as advisor-spon- sor. In the words of other Hornets: Our cheerleaders are great; they make us happy. We couldn't get along without these pretty girls. They rank Number 1. Greatest squad we've ever had. Nine and a half gorgeous girls. T.H.A. feels that without the cheerlead- ers there would be very little spirit. They keep the teams going .

Miss Hornet 1975 Paulette Lowe The Miss Hornet Contest, sponsored annually by the T.H.A. Booster Club, begins in August each year. Eight girls from grades 9—12 are chosen to compete for the title of Miss Hornet. The Girls sell Booster Club tickets which allow admission to foot- ball and basketball games, and also includes an invitation to the Athletic Banquet in the spring. The girl selling the most tickets becomes Miss Hornet. The funds raised by the contestants are used by the Booster Club to support Hornet athletics during the year. On August 29 of this year, during the half-time ceremon- ies of the opening football game, Paulette Lowe was crowned Miss Hornet. Renee Sullivan was first runner-up. Paulette sold 158 of the total 367 tick- ets sold, and Renee sold 86. A Booster Club spokesman said that this was the most tickets that had ever been so Id-bring- ing in a record $3675.00. 16 Amy Stephens Claire Blackwell Paulette Lowe, Miss Hor- net 1976, is a freshman.

The young nation was hesitant at first, but never failed. The ideas, convictions, and beliefs of our forefathers in- creased over the years to fulfill the American dream of freedom: freedom of religion and press, freedom from want, fear, tyranny—freedoms that have hallowed our nation to make her the greatest country on earth. To millions of people all over the world, America is a magic name. Here are schools, parks; the right to choose a job; luxuries, and peace- ful living—such a great life that we may too readily assume to be natural rights. But every benefit, and every right was bought at a price. When we think of the price paid by our forefathers, we should realize that living in America is a responsibility as well as a privilege. Through the years, America has had good times and bad. There have been wars, depressions, recessions, things which destroy most nations— but still America lives on—the oldest republic, the oldest federal system, the oldest democracy in the world, and our constitution is the oldest writ- ten constitution on earth. The price has been great—but it was truly worth it. The next 16 pages depict 200 years of greatness in American history --good times, bad times, and people who in some way or another in- fluenced America and her future. Should this short representation of Am- erican History aid in urging your love, loyalty and devotion to the United States of America in any way, we shall have accomplished our goal. A knowledge of American history is an invitation to experience the ac- complishment, drama, tragedy and hope of an infant nation struggling to grow up. Sturdy, determined pioneers hacked away at the edges of a raw continent and, with blunders and achievements alike, modeled a country with a spirited nature and a united commitment to individual liberty for every one of its citizens. Americans, great and not so great, have given us a heritage to carry on and improve upon. Farmers and soldiers, industri- alists and merchants, dreamers and leaders, are all there in two centuries of progress. But the maturing isn't finished. You'll find the boundaries of growth as endless today as when our forefathers first envisioned them. You can seek out your own destiny with the wisdom and judgement which comes with re-creation of the past. Your knowledge, dreams and industry will carry on through many more centuries of living history.

The colonists reacted in seething resentment which erupted into angry protestations. The first blood of the American Revolution was spitled during one such incident at Boston in 1770. Several Americans lost their lives over a snowball thrown at a British sentry. In the fight to achieve commerce equality, the United States found itself in a naval war over shipping lanes. Fort McHenry was heriocally held during a British naval bombardment, and the stars and stripes still flew after a night of hard fighting. The next morning Francis Scott Key penned the immortal words of what would become the national anthem. Frontiersmen cleared the wilderness, built set- tlements and drove back the Indians. The Pony Express and the telegraph became primary means of communication. Agriculture was the wealth of the country. American inventions of the time were often re- lated to working the soil. The McCormick Reaper, mowing machines, textile looms and the cotton gin were instrumental in the settling of new frontiers. In 1848, James Marshall found gold in the race of a sawmill he was building for John Sutter at Coloma, California. The lust to get rich quick was the force behind this biggest and gaudiest gold rush ever. Settlers had to have permanent access to the new lands, so canals and bridges were built to carry stages and wagon trains loaded with machinery destined for settlements in the West. The pioneers foresaw great wealth in the cheap acreage that was available. While gold rush fever gripped the country, states were increasingly more divided on the slavery issue. Civil war broke out in the East. This Brothers War was bitterly fought and, though the scars remain even today, slavery was abolished. Cities grew at an alarming pace; often without regard to the limits of safety. The great Chicago fire of 1871 burned the bustling cattle market empire beyond recognition. But the pioneer spirit was not broken. Chicagoans began re- building and preparations were underway to celebrate the 100th birthday of the country. The Iron Horse, carrying homesteaders, greatly helped settlement of the new country. The first transcontinental railroad connected the country at Promontory Summit, Utah, on May 10, 1869. Transportation was setting the pattern for the American way of life. The country became a mobile society with electric trolleys, automo- biles. farm machinery, and bicycles, all the rage. Along with the accessibility of travel came a new era of nationalism. A World War called upon the nation's young men to unite and fight After the war in Europe, the nation pulled itself together and industry flourished once again A carefree America bur- ied war memories in the new moving pictures, telephones, light bulbs, electric generators, stock market ticker tape machines, phono- graphs and a wealth of inventions from the fer- tile minds of its young inventors. Baseball be- came the national sport and prohibition was law. Black Thursday, October 24, 1929. saw the American stock market crash to the lowest level in history. Panic set in as the unemployment level skyrocketed. The country was in its worst economic crisis. Slowly, but surely, the wounds of the “crash. “ the dust bowl. and poverty healed •vJK-HATlONI JKr Stamp no. 34 1 1 IJH)' 35 1 « r.PATION| STAMP NO. ■ 8? 38 1 1 RATIONI STAMP NO.

The nation's leaders scoffed, until December 7. 1941 Pearl Harbor! Industrial production reached a peak during the war years. Upon their return from four years of battle, the veterans forged ahead with an eye on a “better life for everyone. Several mod erate recessions in the 50's and oO s reminded cautious citizens of past decades. Huge strides were being taken in the scientific field Television became a part of every family's life. National events were household topics — while they happened — thanks to the new medi- um. Individuals and groups were seen on the tube ' as they advocated new social reform, or justice, or special causes of their own. TV gave individuals and political systems power greater than ever before. Audio-visual journalism had made its impact. Nearly 100 years of struggling for civil liberties were realized when President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law The Act outlawed segregation in any form. The seventies shed light on a new trouble for the nation as it approached its 200th birthday. The world's energy sources and natural re- sources were being used up faster than they could be replenished Americans once again waded into a new frontier. The “energy crisis and ecology” were prominent words in the language Ways to save nature from the neglect of mankind and ways of preserving precious fuel without damaging that balance of nature were the objectives of Americans across the country. Earth s crises spurred Americans into further pioneering. This time outer space. Ameri- can astronauts were the first on the surface of the moon and the U S was first to build a “sky- lab for more scientific study. American is still learning and growing after a mere 200-year infancy. The original determina- tion of our forefathers was told again in the words of Neil Armstrong as he made the first step on the moon a small step for man. but a giant step for mankind.

Sw Antonto Tei� (Teas Independence diy M rch 7 1836) THE CHANGING NATION Ownership of land had been just a dream to most of the colonists from feudal England. With the great expanse of cheap land opening up in the West, the dream became reality. The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 opened the first sizable frontier in the Midwest, but the nation was not ready for it yet. It took a growing market in the East, where land was getting high-priced and scarce, and develop- ment of good transportation, to really start the frontier movement. The Gold Rush caused hordes of settlers to take various routes to the Pacific Coast and its yellow riches. The railroads brought farmers and ranchers, along with the miners, who decided to stop all along the routes and build their homes. Railroads were instrumental in the quick civilization of the West, bringing people in num- bers so large that the resentful Indians were finally pushed back into unwanted and infertile areas. America became a haven for immigrants from every na- tion as freedom beckoned them to the teeming cities of the East, the plains, and the rich west coast farmlands. Sick of the Civil War and with their own lands divided up and lost, many Southerners set out to begin again in the virgin territories. Westering soon became the national tradition as North and South moved together toward a new life. Americanism was advanced socially, by the hard-working, bare-fisted types who settled the frontiers.

With trade goods cut to a minimum, determined young leaders of the time set out to find ways of surviv- ing without support from the Mother Country. Agricultural methods and machines and labor saving devices were designed by our forefathers. As frontiers opened, Yankee genius had to conquer natural barriers in the wild new country, so suspension bridges were invented and methods of transportation were perfected for the purpose of opening the untamed areas. Later, they sought to section off the land with the revolution- ary and controversial invention — barbed wire. Cooper's 1-horsepower Tom Thumb train in 1830 and later, automobiles like the first Model T, and the 4-horsepower airplane ; became American modes of travel from city to city and coast to coast. Americans knew that the fertile lands of this nation would produce unequalled harvests if machines were designed to take over for man. They knew also that trade routes were difficult to travel and manufacturing would have to be done close to home. The cotton gin, textile looms, drill presses and a reaper which could cut six times as much grain as a hand scythe were some of the tools invented. Protection for themselves and for their young country prodded inventors like Eli Whitney to perfect firearms and others to work on plans for the first submarine. Young inventors like Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison (called the nation's most valuable citi- zen) visualized machines that would light the country and open up communication with those in the far cor- ners of the nation. The telephone, telegraph, phono- graph and the first light bulb were discovered in the late 1800's and early twentieth century. This American way of doing for oneself inspired many to become inventors in their own right. Some sought to save labor and mass- produce for profit while others envisioned not only riches, but excitement and adventure as they discovered ways to defy nature. Throughout the past 200 years the American mind has been unleashed to take whatever paths necessary to ful- fill the needs. In the last half-century, the pace of dis- covery has been overwhelming and inventions for the taming of the universe lie in the grasp of America while the habit of finding a way is ingrained in its people.

BCanafaottcred by PERRY DAVIS A SOR, � � 7 Imagine buying that acre of land you have spotted for $1.25! Or. even at the higher price of $10. Those are the prices offered to our founding fathers to encourage set- tlement of the wilderness areas of this nation. A stage wasn’t the most comfortable way to go, but you could get from city to city for as little as $3 — at the amazing pace of six miles per hour. Compare today's wages with a 12-hour day in the early 1800’s. A man earned 50c a day. Of course his dollar bought a little more than today's. Butter in 1826 was about 5c lb. in the Midwest, eggs, 3C doz.; corn 6C bu.. wheat, 25c bu.. and a cow could be bought for $5 With travel becoming the American tradi- tion, you could choose train, wagon, horseback or the water. A canal ride, with bed and board included, averaged 3 or 4c per mile. And when you reached your des- tination. you could sit down to a 5. or even 10 course meal for 25c. (Ladies 20c, in consideration of appetite.) Farmers in the early 1800’s could own the famous McCormick Reaper for a mere $100. But the Civil War increased prices as the machine became the first item farmers could buy on time payments for the sum of $1,500 . A good suit of clothes then might cost $1.95 and ladies waists (blouses) were marketed for 49c to $3.50 with a whole dress pattern priced at 15c. _ Cookstoves, quality-satisfaction guaran- teed,' could cost you $29.25 at $4 per month and a dandy heating stove could set you back as much as $5.73 and up. The first electric refrigerator cost $900 — which might be enough to make you faint on your 1907 fainting couch that had cost a mere $7.85. Your new baby travelled in the height of fashion in a wicker sleeping coach (stroll- er) for the sum of $12.04. If you had $1,500 in 1903 you could show off in one of the first automobiles.

Flour was marked up 100 times for sale to the frontiersmen and dur- ing the famous Gold Rush, that precious commodity went for $400 a barrel. ron NEW TORS. � V ). it Y accommoda Boat la aTnrdcd to iil.lhr Hail, winch ta car- L iu Vhl(K ■ PPL 11m Muitum i� Ike ilJni an l Urgttl evtoblokrovat ia Ik t'aitvd titaiM. at «l «ontaiii� koMMnt coUfiiom of lh Annul and Mmtral knnJooi� p( nature, from all part of d.e % o ld.

Wild- cat coaches, Jimmy McGee and Bond Nickles, had taught the Wildcats as much as pos- sible about football, but when the Wildcats walked onto the field, they knew they were up against strong opposition. Jina Kelley, halfback, scored two Dragon touch- downs. Things were looking dim for the Wildcats when quarterback Donna Elmore passed to Wendy Yarborough, for the only Wildcat touch- down. The remaining Dragon touchdown was scored by Cathy Robbins which gave a 20-8 victory. During halftime activities Chris (Christina) Yates was crowned Miss Powder Puff. The competition for Miss Powder Puff was almost as keen as the competition for the coveted victory. It was difficult to tell which group enjoyed the contest most-the female football players or the male beauty queens! This annual junior class fund raising event creates fun and good school spirit among stu- dents and fans. Beta Club initiate, Teressa Carter Beta Club The Beta Club started off the year with a new advisor, Mr. Peter Came- ron. With his help they sponsored a Halloween contest, and the annual Christmas program; they also sold lemonade, and painted the school trashcans. For the first time a Junior Beta Club, was established and sponsored by the Beta Club. One of the most commendable projects of the Beta Club was the purchase of an illuminated globe for the Thomas Hart library . This globe was presented to the school dur- ing the December P .T .0 . meeting. One of the highlights of the Beta year is the Annual Beta Club Conven- tion in February . Beta Clubs from all over the state attend this function, held in Columbia, S .C. Peter Cameron, club sponsor Beta Club members: Cindy Snipes, Mac Chapman, Lucy Reep, Libby Bryant, Lynn Williams, Ken Moyd, Phyllis Mims, Diane King, Sharon Cauthen, Teressa Carter, Cathy Robbins, Ceil Chapman, June Gandy, Susan Brown. 44 The Beta President welcomes Mrs. Sara Smith, a new faculty member, 45 to our school. Club The Junior Beta Club, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Morrison, began its first year with several projects. The collection of food for needy families at Christmas time, the decorating of the school Christmas tree, and the sales of candy apples and pompoms were all successful activities. The purpose of the club is to encourage effort and reward merit, and to promote those qualities of charac- ter that make good citizens. The club has plans to donate shades for the gym doors.

Needless to say, the outcome of every game was not the same, but the Hornet Girls had a successful season. With three sen- ior and two junior starters, experience was an asset to the team. With a backup team of sen- iors and sophomores the Hornets had more depth than ever before. Coach Woody Barfield 49 BOYS ON THE MOVE A Determined Team Developing for the Future The Boys' Varsity was a relatively young, but determined team. They were led by senior David Morrison who excelled both effensively and defensively . The rest of the team consisted of two juniors and several sophomores. Due to their inexperience the Hornet boys didn't have a very successful season; however, they, too, defeated Carolina Aca- demy 51-33 in the opening game of the season. The Hornets, with much hustle and perseverance, continued to become a strong threat to their opponents as the season pro- gressed .

At least we're out here, and it's finally stopped raining. Mrs. Gardner, please tell the football players to sit down so we can see! During the ceremonies Cindy Marshall was crowned Home- coming Queen by Board Chairman Robert Pitts. His kiss marked the end of the ceremony and the beginning of the long-awaited sighs of relief by the contestants. 53 JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL Spirit and Spunk Spark J.V.

Let’s put the 0 back in Sonoco. There’s one thing we at Sonoco want to be remembered by: our name. But people keep spelling it with a U instead of an 0.Which is not just another way to spell Sonoco. It’s another company. So to help you remember who we are, we’d like for you to remember, one: we don’t pump gas for a living. And, two: our business is making things out of paper and plastics. Things like cones, cores and spools for textiles. Cores and tubes for paper manufacturers and converters. Cans, containers and folding cartons for packaging. Column forming tubes and underground pipe for construction. And underground vaults for the utility industry. What’s more, each of the thousands of products we make is developed in some of the largest and most complete laboratories in the paper, cone and tube industry: our own. And none of them go to consumers. Because all our products are made to solve specialized industrial problems. We’d like to tell you more about all the things we do. If you’ll write Sonoco Products Company, Department NB, Hartsville, S.C. 29550, we’ll send you a copy of our capabilities booklet. Because other than our name, there’s at least one product we want to be remem- bered by. The one we can make for you. Sonoco Products Company. Innovators in paper and plastics. 1 .

You put us in the money. n • ■■ TROUBLE The jokers, jesters, and mischievous people who add fun and laughs to every day. These people are usually in the news with what's happening behind the scenes. They not only are al- ways at the scene, they usually create a scene. How dull life would be if everyone thought and acted alike. How dull school would be without these PEOPLE. 73 Below are the names of every student and teacher at Thomas Hart Academy . The names read forward, backward, up, down or diagonally; they are always in a straight line and let- ters are never skipped. The names may overlap, and letters may be used more than once, but not all of the letters will be used. If you can't find your name, keep looking, because we guarantee that YOUR name is in this puzzle. Good luck!

In order to keep them together for one last time at Thomas Hart, we have included a part of each Senior. Exit Class of ’76 When the Class of 1976 grad- uates on May 27, the Seniors will experience mixed emotions. Happi- ness over the successful completion of twelve years of school will be combined with anxieties over the fu- ture: college, careers, work, mar- riage, and other responsibilities. Over the years the Class of '76 has been sharing good times and bad times, raising money, working to- gether, being together. The entire class has steadily grown closer. The saddest part of being a Senior is knowing that the class will split up and everyone will go his separate way. Though many people and memo- ries will be forgotten with the pass- age of time, the Seniors will always remember the years at Thomas Hart— and though they might not believe it now—they will eventually dis- cover that those six years were in- deed good ones. MRS. DORIS BATEMAN Dedicated to the School She Loves As secretary, she has an im- portant obligation to the Head- master and faculty. In addition to her secretarial duties, she is the school doctor, the students banker, the provider of Kleenex, and a true friend. Among her ac- tivities outside of school hours, she helps the PTO with the Hart- A-Fair auction and helps the Booster Club with the annual Horse Show. For her hard work, devotion and kindness, we dedi- cate this 1976 Hornet to Mrs. Doris Bateman. n___ 77 CHATTER We all dream of great deeds and high positions, away from the humdrum of ordi- nary life. Yet success is not occupying a lofty place or doing conspicuous work; it is being the best that is in you. Rattling around in too big a job is worse than filling a small one to over flowing. Dream, aspire by all means; but do not ruin the life you must lead by dreaming pipe dreams of the one you would like to lead. Make the most of what you have and are. Perhaps your trivial, immediate task is your one sure way of proving your mettle. Do the things near at hand, and great things will come to your hand to be done.
