More light and light it grows. We must follow the course of this new sun. No more can we live with our eyes closed. As a new born child opens his eyes for the first time, our vision too will be blured. Open your eyes and see—NOW— psychodelic lights, electronic music, and dancers six feet apart. 4 Man is reaching out with his mind, groping in the dark with sensitive fingertips, waiting for the touch of what he knows is there . .. Now. Exploration of our Solar System, the age of Aquarius, and Man’s never ending search for understanding and peace is—Now. The turned on generation. The young people of today are more educated, and more eager for knowledge than any one that has proceeded them. A new type of idea, a sense of individualism, and a new candidness has taken over the minds of today’s youth. An idea of living each day for what it’s worth, because the world will end tomorrow has made itself dominant. Release your mind to wonder and think, or find yourself caught-up in the whirl that symbolizes life today. As these pages unfold, liberate yourself. View—“A TIME OF RELEASE.” 6 7 Where friends become so. Outside of the confining walls of the classroom, the student can release his true individualism. At work, and at play—his informal education continues. STUDENT LIFE 9 Summer Is Best Time For Release Many activities signify the types of release that Timmonsville students find for them- selves in the summer. Swimming, for exam- ple, offered relaxation from those long hot summer days, and tennis provided mild exer- cise for some. In the late summer, many students found themselves working in the tobacco markets or either connected with the handling of tobacco in some other way. Football practice was also begun toward the end of the summer. Along with these activities, many students enjoyed vacations. Some to far away places, and others to only the beach. But no matter where the vacation, the student was sure to find his own personal type of release. Bikini clad Elizabeth created excitement around the T’ville pool. Hell’s Angels, Beth and Teresa, added femininity to the popular new sport of riding Hondas. 10 n After School Activities Vary THS cheerleaders had fun preparing for the bonfire against arch rival Lamar. C.L. enjoyed shooting birds after school as many students do. 12 Wild pajama parties offered “fun and games” for many girls after school. Vicki finally caught on to Sabn. THS students escape from the pressures and long hours of study after school. Parties, sports, practice, all are means of releasing energy. A place to go, something to do. Whether activities connected with school or just someone’s hang up, the students gather. No studying, no classrooms, together students plan and carry out activities of their own. A release of new ideas, and methods to do old things, and new things to do. A float for Homecoming, a bonfire, old projects, but releases of new ideas. New leisure time activities also show the student’s boundless releases for his energy. Hondas, dune buggies, and airplanes are new interests for students today. Through school planned and self created activities, the students find their own type of release from studies after the school day of- ficially ends. 13 Students find jobs profitable and fun. A release of energy in today’s youth can take many forms. One of the more construc- tive ways is engaging in work after school. Familar sounds are heard everywhere— “Crop that tobacco”—“Hey bag boy, take out these groceries”—the r-i-n-g of the cash register. The modern youth is not afraid of work. He knows his boundless energy will pay off in rewards. Adding to the family income, learn- ing independence, or insuring a successful date on Saturday night, will in the end, jus- tify time well spent. Frank’s after school job consists of packing draperies at a local industry. Ricky and Mickey worked in them “old cotton Fields back home.” % 14 Many of the teenage girls such as Vicki, clerked in the local stores. Mike lent his hand in the production of draperies at Ox- ford. THS Homecoming Created Excitement Homecoming Sponsors: Trena McKay for Larry Defee, Jackie Gibbs for Steve Hickson, Carol Lee for Lee Hux, Gay Ham for Johnny Pierce, Lynn Howell for Bill Walkup, Glenda Hicks for Ronnie Watford, Teresa Weatherly for Donnie Watford, Beth Stewart for Kenneth Evans, Vicki Thomas for Tommy Dorriety, Rose Ann Huggins for Darrell Conner, Marsha McElveen for Ray Watford, Jamie Hicks for Mike Walkup, Elizabeth Mellette for Cary Andrews, Julie Conner for Mitchie Powers. On October 3,1969 the biggest homecoming in the history of THS occurred. Fourteen girls were in the homecoming court. The tension mounted as the half time of the T’ville-Hanna Pamplico game approached. After the buzzer sounded the girls made a semi-circle on the football field. The announcer proclaimed, “the 1969 Homecoming Queen is Elizabeth Mellette.” The crowd voiced their approval as the cameras flashed and Elizabeth gave them her best smile.

Bottom: Stanley Harrell is killed on Junior float. 17 Inhibition goes out as students release themselves This past year brought a variety of changes for the students of THS. Much to the dismay of several members of the faculty, the femi- nine style of dress has ranged from maxie coats to pants suits to mini skirts, while mas- culine inhibition was released in the form of long hair and sideburns. Students have partici- pated in varied activities including anything from building floats to burning silver foxes. Scholastic challenges have ranged from dis- secting frogs to writing reports on anything from oysters to bowling balls. Top: Mitchies watches with attention as other shop members dismantle motor. Right: Elaine models her new maxie coat. Middle right: Gwenkie thinks pants suits are just as good to wear to school as those short dresses. Far right: Gaynelle sets new height for the length of mini skirts. Right: Jones plays around with Glenda in the snow. Below: Hey man, look at all this snow! Exams, Christmas, Snow Around THS, the long awaited Christmas holidays were soon to be here. But exams come before the holidays can be enjoyed. You could hear students aying, “Boy, if I can only make it through exams then I can really en- joy Christmas.” Some students were happy about their grades on exams, others were not, and some teachers even posted their grades, (much to the dismay of many students). Finally the last day of school came, and the air was filled with cheerful cries of “Merry Christmas,” and “enjoy your holidays.” But the holidays were indeed way too short. Everyone attested to this when they had to return to school after only two weeks. There was, however, a sort of relief in the air that half of the school year was over, and warm weather would soon be here. On the 23rd of January something very unusual took place, it was snowing; and before the snow had stopped, it had covered the ground with 3 inches. This snow offered the students a welcome break from the routine of school life, which resulted in numerous snow ball fights, several snowmen, and many happy faces; Above: Mike is the regular THS toilet boy. 20 Left: Larry starts to cram the camera man with a snowball.

Far right: Modem sculpture is demonstrated in sxith period study hall. 22 Inmates raise it at breaks Class time provided the only source of relaxation for THS students this year due to the numerous activities that took place during study halls and breaks. These mo- ments of leisure in the classroom, were often interrupted by doughnut sales, pep rallies or group therapy around a record player in the commerce room. The manner in which different groups of students seemed to have their own spe- cial gathering spots was of definite interest around THS this year. While geography students were most likely to prefer the library, the office was chosen as a meet- ing place for the Tihisco staff and any- body else who liked to smoke. At the same time, council room study halls were en- joyed by certain members of the student body. The year would not have been com- plete if everyone had always been where they were supposed to be. One senior spent a great deal of his time in the canteen and several students enjoyed frequent after school sessions with Mr. Carmichael. 23 Student’s life is full of gripe Student Life, the life of the student. Along with all of the griping and kidding, laughing and dirty jokes, there does come a time for serious thoughts and conscientious studying. And maybe it is good that the spirit at THS IS light and gay. After all, what would a student’s life be like if he didn’t gripe once in a while about a teacher, or complain about some bad test grade; then later kid about them both. But believe it or not, the students of THS are really the happiest ones anywhere. Right: The THS basketball team doubles as a chorus line. (Don’t you think they’re good?)

There were: American History, World History, World Geography, Eurasia, Economics, Comparative Government and Citizenship. Nearly all students participated in one or more of these subjects, which cover the social, political and economic as- pects of daily life. Because of new regula- tions, three units in social studies must be earned in order for a student to graduate. Left: Seventh grade enjoys map-making in Gray’s class.

Below far right: Elsie worries over future frog dissection. 44 With technology, space and other aspects of research constantly changing our lives, the science department has become an important part of education. Students studying science courses have been able to study and follow current events in the classroom. Studying moon shots and organ transplants has related sciences to the student more than ever before. In addition to discussion in class, the lab has made science interesting this year. The physics class made rapid use of the new physics physics equipment while biology classes dissected frogs. Ninth grade physical science students have worked enthusiastically as they learned about the lab. 45 Above: Look, Look, David, I found one too.

The main objectives of this department for the past year were to create an interest in literature, which was also on the curriculum. Both aca- demic and non-academic courses were taught. All students are required to have four units in this subject in order to graduate. Far left: That’s right Jones, another Lit. test. Left: Joye shows Jeannette how to get by in poetry.

THS offers Algebra I and II, geometry and advanced math for the academic student. The basic math courses are also available for non-academic students. From these courses, a student is required to earn two units before graduation. Above left: Julie and Tim long for the good ole days of Algebra I.

The courses that are offered at Timmonsville High School to familiarize students with future jobs are: Home Economics, vocational agriculture, and wood shop. Additional courses were offered to THS students at Southside High School in re- frigeration, cosmetology, nursing, auto me- chanics, electricity, air conditioning, child care, drafting, and building construction. In our commercial department, THS offers such courses as Typing I, Typing II, and Bookkeeping. Harry puts the finishing touches on Faye’s cage.

Bottom — Darrell Conner, Mark Abendshein, Vicki McElveen, James Odom, Jean Lewallen, Elizabeth Mellette, David Lewalien, and Donny McElveen. time and energy in the improvement of and service to their school. Under the direction of Miss Virgil Fowler, the Council has arranged assembly programs on highway safety and drug use, as well as the annual programs they present in observance of the holidays. The Council also sponsors Homecoming during football season and arranges for each class to help a “Christmas child” each year. Members of the Council are the class presidents, two representatives elected from each class, and the officers who are elected by the student body. Officers this year have been Cary Andrews, President; Wayne Alexander, Vice President; Donny McElveen, Secretary; and Elizabeth Mellette, Treasurer. Student Council advisor, and members listen intently to speaker. Donnie McElveen stresses an issue. Chorus, Bands add entertainment Several musical organizations have contributed to the atmosphere of THS this past year. These included two bands and a choral group. The bands consisted of about fifty students making up a senior and beginner band. The senior band is formed entirely of high school students while junior high pupils make up the newly formed beginner band. The combined bands, directed by Mr. Cecil James, have played for school functions and presented several concerts. The choral group, the Madrigals, under the direction of Mrs. Virginia Ann Hopkins is made up of eleven girls and their accompanist. The name, Madrigals, is a 16th century term meaning music sung in parts and was selected for the group because the girls sing in three and four parts. The girls were selected by try-outs and sing for school assemblies, church services and club meetings. Junior band joins senior band for home football game.

Beta Club honors academic achievers The organization that promoted academics and leadership was the Beta Club. The formal installation of the club came at the beginning of the year when five new members were tapped. These students were required to have an average of 90 or above for two consecutive semesters and approvement by the principal. Officers elected for this year were as follows: President, Trena McKay; Vice President, Michael Norris; Secretary, Wayne Alexander; Treasurer, Scott Thomas. With the supervision of the advisor, Mrs. Virginia Ann Hopkins, the Beta Club sponsored four of the basketball canteens to finance its trip to the State Convention in Columbia. Wayne looks on as Scott tries to memorize speech for Beta Club initiation. 66 L to R — Wayne Alexander, Elise Coker, Lynn Howell, Trena McKay, Lorrie Minnick, Michael Norris, Gwenkie Weatherly, Scott Thomas, Jerry Fox.

Ja gets ready to run off another edition of Whirlwind. 68 Whirlwind Staff improves paper. The Whirlwind, written and published by the students, under the direction of Mrs. Hopkins, features news from THS and community news concerning the students. A new aspect of the Whirlwind this year has been its feature articles. While they are not new, features have been greatly increased this year because of the greater interest shown in them. The Whirlwind is a member of the South Carolina Scholastic Press Association. As a member, the Whirlwind is eligible for monthly contest held by the SCSP and judged by the University of South Carolina. One of the most important phases of school life at THS was athletics. The organization designed to represent these athletes was the Block T Club. The Block T Club was made up of all varsity athletes, cheerleaders, and managers that had been active for one year. From these members the officers were elected as follows: President, Darrell Conner; Vice President, Mike Walkup; Secretary, Trena McKay; Treasurer, Le Hux. This particular club participated in several money-making projects to purchase new athletic equipment. Under the direction of the new advisor, Coach Bob Berry, the officers and members tried to create an interest in school sports, promote good sportsmanship, and come about with more school spirit. Block T Club has first meeting to elect new officers. 70 Block T has new advisor Ditch L to R — Elizabeth Mellette, Lynn Howell, Mitchie Powers, Wayne Alexander, Julie Conner, Johnny Pierce, Beth Stewart, Linda Courtney, Perry Stokes, Gaynelle Galloway, Vicki Thomas, Pat Morris, Sandy Mathews, Mike Walkup, George Andrews, Marlene Jordon, Tommy Doriety, Betty Anne Ward, Debbie Joyner, Harry Lawhon, Faye Corn.

The staff was composed of 30 members, who combined, sold over $2,000 dollars, in ads. These ads, along with yearbook sales in the school and town provided the money to produce this annual. In the past summer, two representatives — Darrell Conner, Editor; and Ja Truluck, associate Editor — attended a workshop at Lake Juneluska in North Carolina. At the end of this workshop, Darrell and Ja were given an award for the “Most Effective Use of Color on Cover,” and Ja won an award for “Outstanding Achievement in Layout and Yearbook Planning.” There were 26 states and 3 Canadian provinces represented at the workshop. An increase of 32 pages to this yearbook made it the largest one ever produced. Other new additions to this book were: in the Student Life section, a newly designed Faculty section, and a totally different Organization section. Tihisce Staff listens attentively as Mr. Owings yells, “Get those ads in.” 72 D. C. and Mr. Owings select new pictures.

The boys elected as their officers, Steve Hickson, President; Bert White, Vice-President; Mickey Ward, Reporter and Carlton Howell, Treasurer. With the aid of the advisor, Mr. Bill Anderson, the local chapter of the club has participated in agricultural projects to improve the school, and money-raising projects such as selling mixed nuts. Steve and Ben get experience during shop class. Tommy, Tommy, and Larry sold peanuts for the FFA. 74 Standing: Van Dorriety, Ray Jeffords, Charlie Jernigan, Johnny Fogel, Jessie Ray McKay, Johnny Pierce, Elwood Anderson, Mike Ward, Tommy Lynch, Stanley Harrell, Mike Keels, Bert White, Larry Minnick, Jimmy McElveen; Seated: Ed Anderson, Wayne Timmons, Donnie McElveen, Tommy Pate, Rickie Thompson, Jimmy Sims, Michael Weaver, Tommy Doriety, Joey Alexander, Mitchie Powers, Marvin Pierce, Steve Hickson, Carlton Howell, Walkie White, and Harry Lawhon. 75 FHA creates stable homes Seated: Fay Corn, Debbie Joyner, Sue Hux, Jean Lewallen, Jane Gee, April Abendshein, Harriet Young, Debra Lane, Daffy Ward, Frances White, Gaye Ham, Lynn Holden, Wanda Montrose, Cindy Jordan, Harriet Timmons, Joyce Coker, Kristy Jeffords, Elaine Evans, Frances Bramlett, Jackie Gibbs, Lannette Langston, Peggy Young, SeweJJ.

With projects such as panel discussions, and speakers on developing family life, the FHA concentrated on learning the essential steps in creating a stable atmosphere in home life. As the FHA seeks to develop well-rounded individuals, other programs included studies of the March of Dimes, a dance, and a fashion show for their parents. A visit to the state FHA camp at Ocean Drive Beach provided an opportunity for the girls to develop new talents, new friendships, and find their own kind of release during a week of recreation and fun. Projects and trips for this year were planned and carried out by the girls under the guidance of Mrs. Loutee Pardue, and their officers. The following officers were installed last June and have served this year: Elaine Evans, President; Jean Lewallen, First Vice President; Sue Hux, Second Vice President; Vicki McElveen, Secretary; and Harriet Timmons, Chairman of Finance.

Linda puts soul in cheer. The organization most responsible for maintaining the pep and school spirit of THS was the varsity cheerleaders. Throughout the year, these girls have worked hard to support their teams and create interest among fans. The cheerleaders were divided into two squads. The head football cheerleader was Linda Courtney and the head basketball cheerleader was Jamie Hicks. These two girls were in charge of calling practices and making sure that all of the cheerleaders were prepared for each game. All of the girls were elected by the student body and were under the supervision of their advisor, Mr. Jack Hopkins.

The six J.V. cheerleaders were kept busy by trying to support the team when it won and keep its spirits high in case of a loss. This year, however, the girls cheered their sixteen man team to victory in five out of the six games that they played. The Midget football team for this past season was also backed by an enthusiastic group of cheerleaders. These girls were all of Junior High age, and this was their first year of participating in the field of athletics. All of the girls were led by head cheerleader Lynn Hicks. Joni Ann finally learns to keep in step. J.V. Cheerleaders: left to right — Joni Ann Ham, April Abendshein, Frances White, Barbara Vause, Bobbie Lee, and Claire Hewitt.

Varsity Football The varsity football team had a hard time finding their time of release this season, but finally found it in the season closing game against a tough conference foe, Mayewood. The game was mostly defensive, with the Whirlwinds making Mayewood fumble on the 1 yd. line with around 1 minute left in the game. The game ended tied at 8-8. The Whirlwind were coached by Mr. Turner Gray and a new head coach Mr. Bobby Berry. Even though the season ended 0-9-1, the team never lost their spirit and played some good games against some of the conference foes. There were 14 seniors on the team, but the Whirlwinds have several good players returning next year and are expect- ing a good team next season. 85 Bert White runs for a first down. Perry Stokes works on his passing. Crazy legs Pierce runs for short gain. 86 Larry Defee dives in vain for a pass. Offense works out during practice.

The Junior Varsity football team found their time of release as they rolled 5 victories under their belts against only 1 defeat. The J.V.’s were coached by Ronald Jones and Jimmy Bramlette and had one of the best Junior Varsity football teams ever for a Whirlwind team. They won all of their conference games and lost only to a nonconference foe, Hartsville. Out of six games played four were shut- outs. Only twenty four points were scored against them, while they scored 108. This gave them an average of 18 points a game, while their opponents averaged only 4 points a game.

Although they scored 96 points they ended up with a 2-2 record. They had a chance of winning the conference but lost to Bishopville in the last game. They scored as high as 52 points in one game. 91 Boys’ Varsity Basketball The boys varsity basketball team, started off the season with two great games against Southside but suffered losses to its first 4 games to conference foes. Timmonsville boys went into tournament play as under dogs to Hillcrest but they upset them in a stunning 10-8 victory.

Timmonsville won the first game 4-1 but lost at Whitmire 2-1 to even the series at 1 game each. The third and final game was played at Sumter and Whitmire won as Tim- monsville couldn’t get started on the right foot. The team had some great games on their way to the state playoffs. After winning the conference they played Olympia. Olympia won the first game but Timmonsville came right back to win the second game of the playoffs. On the third and final game with Olympia, Timmonsville had to come behind from 2 runs to win. The team losses most of its starters and will be rebuilding this year under their new head coach.

Track is a sport in which each individual has to practice on his own. In the relays, however, team effort is essential. They have to work together and get the timing down. The track team lost the conference for the first time in about four years last year. We had only two players to go to the conference meet. Ronnie Watford was the only player who went to conference who is returning this year. He set a school record on the mile, in a time of 5 minutes. The team will be under Coach Berry this year and are expecting a bet- ter season this year. 10« Above row: (l r) — Cary Andrews, Terry Forkasdi, George Andrews, Larry Defee, Donnie Watford, Ron- nie Watford.

I didn’t want the letter to sound like a reproduction of last year’s, but I wanted to express the sincere feelings of the staff and myself. From the very first, Mr. Owings and I were determined to make this publication of the TIHISCO the biggest and most outstanding year- book in THS history. We first picked our staff, limited in size, but extremely competent. Carefully following Ja’s and my ideas we received at a work- shop this past summer, the staff slowly but surely began to mold a conglomeration of layouts, photos, and copy, into yearbook form. Our book is completely financed by the selling of ads to surrounding merchants, and by yearbook sales. Elizabeth Mellette, Business manager, and Trena McKay, Ad Manager, did a great job in push- ing our ad sales that enabled us to reach our budget of over $4000. I wish to thank Cary Andrews, Photography Editor, for the fine job he did on pic- ture planning and taking, along with our professional photographer, Mr. Frank Woods. Teresa Weatherly, Academics Editor, and Rose Anne Huggins, Class- es Editor, did a wonderful job on what has to be the hardest and most time consuming section in the book. My Co-Sports Editors, Ronnie and Donnie Watford, did a fine job in laying out and producing a larger than ever Sports section. Mark Abend- shein and Jean Lewallen, Organizations, and Honors Editors, respectively, spent many hours slaving over their sections, making them bigger and better and better than before. Writing copy that is original and interesting certainly isn’t the easiest job on the staff, but Lynn Howell, Copy Editor, and Pat Morris, wrote much of the fine Organizations copy in the book. I, along with the entire staff are greatly in debt to Jackie Gibbs for her fine job as Chief Typist. Ja Truluck, my Associate Editor, did an out- standing job on the yearbook. If not for his layouts, theme copy, and efficient work, along with Mr. Ow' gs. our advisor’s, patience and assistance, this yeail-o- V would probably be only half finished, and lying in our funky TIHISCO room under three inches of water. I am also very grateful to Mr. Bill Morgan, our representative from Paragon Press, and other company employees for their patience and help. The 1969-70 school year has now drawn to a close. I only hope the efforts of the yearbook staff have truly reflected the spirit of the people of Timmonsville High School. And now, 1 proudly present to you, the students of Timmonsville High School, the 1970 TIHISCO. Darrell Conner Editor-in-Chief
