CLASS PROPHECY 1983 - It is evening, and in one hour the people of South Carolina will turn on their wall T.V. sets and watch as I bring them the news in color and 3-D. Glancing over the newscript before me, I am astounded to find that the news chiefly concerns the members of the 1958 graduating class of Timmonsville High School. The latest news bulletin from the space satellite station, operated by Sammy Thompson, is that George Howell has finally reached the moon in his self-developed rocket, and has radioed that he is hoping to discover a way back to earth within five years. In the national news Senator Jerry Watford, The Farmer's Friend, has announced his decision to run for President next year. However, the Presi- dent's adviser, Jesse Ray Smith, has stated the present administration has no fear of Watford, even though he is a dynamic speaker. Captain Charles White of the Kneedeep submarine has completed a run around the world in eighteen days. Famous novelist Carroll Y oung has just published another book, The XYZ of Algebra. United States foreign spy Steve Hicks has just smuggled top secret plans from Russia - plans for a new-type golf ball. Charles DuRant has recently published the world’s largest newspaper, with two pages of news and ninety-five of ads. Frank Patten, owner of the Chevrolet helicopter-taxi ser- vice, has now extended his company over Canada and Alaska. Winnie Jernigan won the title of Miss Talkative of 1983 at Atlantic City last night. Harvey Campbell, owner of the Smack Bubble Gum factory, has hired salesman Bill Young to tour the nation demonstrating the Smack product. Wealthy oilman Don Morris left today for his kangaroo ranch in Australia. Top fashion model Annette Carter has divulged the secret of her popular fashions. She designs, makes, and models the clothing herself. Annette is financed by Nancy Parnell, a beneficiary of John Beresford Tipton. Carolyn Hughes Whitney has set a record. She is the first mother to have one child, then twins, and finally trip- lets. Arthur Mur ray teacher Edna Hancock has been sent to Hawaii to teach the native girls to dance . Faye Locklair and Marilyn Kirby, versatile old-maid singing-piano team, have scored another best seller on the Hit Parade - Man- hunt. Wrestler Curtis Evans has won again! Curtis attributes his success to his Judo teacher, Frances Atkinson. Gladys Atkinson, renowned horse trainer, has admitted she has never ridden a horse. Bobby Locklair, veteran football player, has just been named head coach at West Point. In the South Carolina news two amateurs have recently found places in national T. V. Comedian Emory Carter is now the understudy of Lonesome George Gobel, and singer Judy Saverance is the voice of Petunia Pig on Car- toon Carnival. Reggie White, veteran actor, has been cast in the role of Rhett Wind in the picture Gone With the Butler. Grace Hill, Academy-Award winner, will co-star with him. English professor, Arnold Wade, has been named p r e s i d e n t of Clemson College. Camille Clamp, maker of Camille Cherry Pies, says her company will also make apple pies. In the local news I find that Metropolitan Opera star Loraine Cusaac will be in Florence tomorrow. Bennie Hobson, husband of Sue Raines, noted brain surgeon, has completed his project of the last twenty-five years - buying up Timmonsville. His rival, auctioneer Richard Powers, still owns the tobacco warehouses, however. Big Florence executive Sammy Hill declares that his favorite occupation is sitting back in his desk with his feet propped up. Glancing up from my papers, I find Ida Mae Knotts, Janie Powers, and Priscilla Morris are giving the advertisement for my telecast. Our sponsor is Dr. Anderson's Potato Syrup, developed by Dr. David Anderson, who claims that it is so powerful it has cured everyone and he no longer has any patients. As the announcer, Allen Cooper, signals that it is time for my telecast, I am a little dazed but very gratified at the marvelous success of the wonderful members of the class of '58. 23

CLASS HISTORY With the passing of years events become history. Thus it is with the class of 1958. Our career at Timmonsville High School is drawing to a close, and these years that have been so happy and rewarding are rapidly becoming history. In 1954, as lowly freshmen, we entered the halls of the old High School building. That firstyear we found among us many new faces from the various grammar schools of the district. Those whom we knew slightly, Or not at all, soon became cherished friends, however. We elected Steve Hicks president, Arnold Wade vice-president, Jerry Sans- bury secretary, Grace Hill treasurer, and Sue Raines representative on the student council. George Howell was treasurer of the student council. In our sophomore year we were more at home in our surroundings. We felt we could now enter into the different activitie s astrue high school citizens. Besides, there were f r e s h m e n below us - lower and more ignorant than we. We elected Sue Raines president, Steve Hicks vice- president, Judy Saverance secretary, Charles DuRant treasurer, and George Howell representative on the student council. Camille Clamp served as secretary of the student council, and Miss Virgil Fowler was our class adviser. As juniors we had arrived at the last half of our journey through high school. That year, 1956-57, brought changes in our surroundings, for a longed-for dream had become a reality. We moved into our new building, with its pleasant classrooms, spacious gymnasium, and all- round better facilities. It was a year of pride, not only for the faculty and students but for the entire community as well. Our junior leaders were Bennie Hobson, president; Steve Hicks, vice - pre sident; Frank Patten, secretary; Mary Conner, treasurer; and George Howell, repre- sentative on the student council. Arnold Wade was vice-president of the student council. With the help of our class sponsors - Mrs. Virginia Brown, Mrs. Loutee H. Pardue.and Mrs. Mary B. Mellette - we success- fully presented our class play, Out on a Limb. Finally, using the theme South of the Border, we entertained the seniors at the customary Junior- Senior Prom. Then came September 1957, and we were seniors at last. We realized that we were leaders in all the school activities and must assume the responsibilities of our position. Looking back now, we feel that we have fulfilled our obligations. Annette Carter has served as our presi- dent, Camille Clamp as vice-president, Faye Locklair as secretary, Charles DuRant as treasurer, and Carroll Young as representative on the student council; and each of these has done his part to make our year a truly successful one. Under the guidance of our sponsors - Mrs. Lillian S. Wade, Mrs. Mary B. Mellette, and MissMollie Matthews - we presented our final high school play. We were the honored guests at the Junior- Senior Prom; and the trip to Washington and New York, which we had worked for since our first day in high school, has been ours. Arnold Wade has served well as president of the student council, and Steve Hicks as its treasurer. Frank Patten has been an excellent editor of the Whirl- wind, as has Mary Conner of the Purple and Gold. Graduation, with its diplomas, will in a few days close the history of our class. With it our journey out into life will begin - but as individuals, and not as a clas s . Our hope and aim is that we shall always manifest the intellectual and moral training we have received at Timmonsville High School. 22
