What is more fitting than that we should construct a Cedar Chest to hold the fondest and sweetest memories of our school days, to keep these memories fresh and undim- med through the years to come, when, with thoughts tending back- wards, we may again and again raise the Chest cover and view the trinkets gathered here and there in the dear old school days — rule 3 W.

C. “Coaster” Varsity Foot Ball (3) (4) ; Certificate of Perfect Attendance (3) (4) ; Orator ; Treasurer of Glee Club. “Coaster”, as he is known to ns here on the campus, came to us from Waynesboro High in his ju- nior year, and to say that our gain was Waynesboro's loss is a trite statement. “Coaster” is deservedly popular; he has always a pleasant smile- even when called on to “make up” some work or to make an oration in assembly. In athletics he has made his way well to the front. He has played center two years on the varsity football and has led the team to success. There is no doubt in the minds of his friends concerning “Coaster's” future. The combination of athlete, student, and gentleman points to nothing but success. MARION BELL Hardeevile, S. C. “Shiek” “Dumb Bell” Class Vice Pr-$s. (2) (Hardeeville) ; Class President (3) (Hardeeville) ; Class Treasurer; Base Ball. Ye immortal gods! What have we here? “Shiek” hails from the sand hills of Dorchester. He realized a long- desire to come to Walterboro Hi— he had heard about her reputation •—when he came to us in ’25. Since then he has been one of our best students.-He sets his goal and digs until he gets there. We predict for him a wonderful career in the battle of life in what- ever he undertakes—even if it’s matrimony. Some of these days he is going to fall in love — if he hasn’t already—and then he will face life in earnest. Here’s wishing you much success, old boy. HERBERT M. BLACK Walterboro, S. C. “Herb” “Measly II” Varsity Foot Ball (2) (3) (4) ; Certificate of honor (3) ; Certificate of Perfect Attendance (6 yrs-) Track (3) (4) ; Debating Team (3) (4) ; Assistant Business Manager of Cedar Chest; Honor Committee; Physics Club ; Wildcat Staff. •Herb has been one of our lead- ing figures—holding a prominent part in nearly every activity at W. H. S. His scholastic record is something to be proud of. He has finished first in his class. In foot- ball he has been, for three years, a mainstay in the backfield, with a reputation as one of the headiest generals in the state. In summing up, Herbert is a splendid fellow. He is a fellow of striking personality, determined and resourceful, always sticking up to this motto, ‘‘There is no such word as can't'9. The class of ’26 will always remember him as a true comrade. Herbert, may good for- tune accompany you through the battles of life. CAROLYN BRABHAM Walterboro, S. C. “Carrie” President of Class (1) (2) (3) (4) ; Manager of GirPs Basket Ball Team (3) ; Captain ; Treasurer of Glee Club ; Home Be. Club; C. X Club. That Carrie is one of the most popular members of our class is shown by the fact that she has been our president ever since we’ve been in high school. Yes, and she’s not popular with us only, either. How she keeps them all straight is a mystery to her less experienced sis- ter classmates. Basket ball has claimed some of Carrie’s valuable time. She has always been a star player and will be missed next year. Carrie’s ability as an actress combined with her line voice has made her the first to be selected to play a leading part in any play or operetta. Her line qualities, her cheery dis- position, and her friendliness have won for her m ny, many friends, who wish for her the best of luck. | ALETHA MAE CKOSBY Ashaw, S. C. French Club ; History Club. We really believe that Aletha takes life seriously, but she always has a smile for everyone. She says that, if you want to accomplish anything in life, you must go smil- ing through. She is always ready to help when help is needed and shows that to have friends is to be one. She has lived up to the idea that whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. And she has done well, especially in her studies, as is shown by her membership in the French Club. We all wish her health and happiness as she starts out to take her place in the world. ■ M % CLARENCE L. FISHBURNE Walterboro, S. C. “Solly” Base Ball (3). Football (3) (4) ; Certifi- cate of Perfect Attendance (6 yrs.) ; Phy- sics Club. We can always recognize “Solly” by his ready smile and keen wit, which amuses the whole senior class at the time that we need amusement. “Solly” has also dis- tinguished himself as a cartoonist of ability. Sadly, though, his car- tooning almost played havoc with his French—but it didn't. We expect for Clarence to make his mark as a great electrician. Why, he has already made several radios. Oh! the delight of the Physics class when “Solly” quietly informs Mr. Stevenson wherein he has erred. Go to it, “Solly” old boy, the class is expecting great things of- you, your cartooning, and your radios. INEZ VICTORIA GRIFFEN MASHAWYILLEj S. C. Inez came to us just this year, but she astonished us all with her courage. Why! she took Physics (which is not the easiest course in high school by any means.) She has been especially fond of Home Economics and showed a great deal of talent along that line. Inez has the wonderful quality of quietness, which most of us lack. “To say little and perform much is a true characteristic of greatness.” We wish for you the very best that life has to offer, Inez. MARIAN HIERS Round, Sf C. Nancy” Secretary of Class (2) (3) ; Book Club Essay Prize (2) ; President of Glee Club ; President of A. B. C- Club ; Debating Team ; Wildest Staff (3) (4) : French Club ; His- tory Club ; Physics Club. Popular, pretty, lovable, true, and intelligent — that’s Marian. During her three years at Waiter- boro she has won the love and ad- miration of all her associates. She has also won distinction in her scholastic work. Even though intelligent, Nancy” possesses a feminine charm, which attracts many of the sterner sex. Her excellent judgment and charm- ing personality have called her to positions, which she has held so admirably. We predict for her a brilliant success in her future ca- reer. Don’t give up, ‘‘Nancy”, maybe you’ll be able to enter Clem- son yet. WILMOT JACOBS Walterboro, S. C. Biz” Secretary of Senior Class ; Debating Team (3) (4) ; Manager of Football Team (3) (4) ; Cheer Deader (3) (4) ; Honor Com- mittee ; Business Manager of Cedar Chest; Wildcat Staff; Glee Club. Manager of Bas- ket Ball Team (3) ; Base Ball (3) -(4) ; Physics Club; History Club. Do you know him? Most likely you do, for he is none other than Wilmot Jacobs, a natural born leader, who has been one of the outstanding characters in our class ever since we began our career in the first grade. He is a your- man of character, intellect, wit, and winning personality. A better fellow cannot be found. Biz” is one of our most loyal school citizens. He is in everything —plays, debates, clubs. Although he does not play football or bas- ketball, he is our cheer leader and has helped to win many a victory this way. “B.iz” does play base- ball, though, and has made quite a reputation in this sport. FRANKIE N. JONES Ashton, S. C. Basket Ball (3) ; Varsity Base Ball {3) (4). Frankie came to us in ’23 from Ashton Hi, Frankie is a man of few yords and small of stature, but of competent deeds. Friends every- where — in the class room and among social activities—are his, a thing of which any true “Wild Cat’' might justly be proud. In base ball Frankie is at his best. Holding his own in right field, he is “little but loud”. Frankie is a hard worker, a true friend, an excellent pal, and we feel quite sure that his college career will be a successful one. LELAND ROBERT KINARD PlNEGROVE, s. C. “Punk” Scrub Foot Ball ; Scrub Base Ball ; History Club. Leland is big: from all directions —big feet, body, intellect, and heart. He is one of those quiet, straight - forward fellows, who gradually makes a place in the hearts of all who know him. Even though his nickname is “Punk , he stands high in his scholastic work and never has any difficulty in mastering his studies. He is well known and admired by both stu- dents and faculty. MARGARET ELIZABETH MARVIN Hendersonville, S. C. “Peggy “Peg came into our midst in the fall of '25. She is honest, true, and a loyal friend, all of which qualities go to make friends who will stick through life. She is one of those of whom can be said, “Still water runs deep . She is quiet and reserved; she has strong character. We do not predict that “Peggie will ever make millions in the finan- cial world. Instead her primary objectives in life are knowledge, honor, and friendship, and the real- ization of these alone will bring her contentment. GERALD MILEY Walterboro, S. C. “Jerry” Honor Committee (4), Long;, lank, and quiet — that’s '• Jerry”. He takes his time to make his occasional remarks, but you always get your money's worth for waiting. We don't know what “Jerry in- tends to do after graduation, but, whatever his task, it will be worth while and well accomplished. Gerald, we can only wish for you, old boy, the greatest success and happiness that we know the world has in store for you. We bid you Godspeed and console ourselves by knowing that our loss is the world’s gain. RUTH BUCKNER PADGETT Jacksonboro, S. C. “Sal” Glee Club; History Club. This bonnie lassie we call “SaV’ is just about the sweetest of girls. Perhaps she is frivolous by nature, but behind those mischievous, brown eyes she conceals priceless qualities of generosity and friend- liness. She is forever building air castles and dreaming dreams, whether they materialize or not. When she came to us in the junior year, we were glad to welcome into our class this friendly, lovable girl. She is happiest when delving ’mongst pots and pans, and her highest ambition is to, one day, have a kitchen of her own. We know she will be happy. BESSIE STJLA LEE REYNOLDS Jacksonboko, S. C. - � , “Sue” President of Class ( racksonboro) (1) : History Club. The year of J25 marked the be- ginning of Jacksonboro’s loss and Walterboro’s gain, for Bessie and many others started attending Wal- terboro High. In these two years “Sue” has won many friends by her sincerity, her jolly and snnny nature, and not the least by her golden locks and pretty face. In fact she has vamped a certain “young blond” from high school. We feel sure that Columbia College will be as proud of her as we have been and that her success in life will make Walterboro glad that we were able to have her for two years. MARY MYRTLE REYNOLDS Jacksonboko, S. C. “Myrtle” In vainly attempting to condense the characteristics which “Myrtle” possesses, we might describe her thus—not too serious, not too gay, but smiling and jesting day after day, as if troubles never come. Un- like the foolish grasshopper she does not while her time in idle pleasure. The serious side of her nature insmres sympathy to anyone, seeking help. Our best wishes for the greatest success follow “Myr- tle” wherever she may go. K EMIL PEURIFOY Walterboro, S. C. “Sonny Boy” U. D. €. Essay Prize (1); Secretary of Class (1) ; Vice President of Class (2) ; Winning Orator in Edisto League (3) ; President of History Club; Foot Ball (1) (2) (3) (4). When we look for the most bril- liant and most promising members of our class, we always find “Sonny Boy” at the head of the list. His especial interests have lain along the lines of history, not only past but present. His outstanding char- acteristics are his dignity, friend- liness. and ambition. These were recognized by Congressman McMil- lan wThen he gave Emil an appoint- ment to West Point. Both in his studies and on the athleitc field has he proved his worth. We prophesy great things for you, ‘-Sonny”, at West Point and in the world, where we expect you to take your place as a great man. JAMES HOWELL RAINEY Walterboro, S. C. “Showers” Class treasurer (2) ; Base Ball (3) ; Foot Ball (3) (4) ; Business Manager of Wild Cat; Class Poet. He is the fellow with a smile that never fails to glisten at the sight of a maiden, be she ever so homely or be she ever so comely, with a heart that never fails to sympa- thize with a friend in distress, with a depth of mind that grasps' and holds. Old boy, you can count the entire school your friend just as you are a friend to the entire school. No greater tribute could ever be attributed to you—or to any one else—than that you are the best friend one could have. “Show- ers”, whatever your field of en- deavor, we know that success shall lavish her richest reward on you. MARY ELIZABETH RIVERS Walterboro, S. C. “Good Looking” “Jack” Glee Club ; History Club. Home Econo- mics Club; U. D. C. Essay Prize (1). If you should hear, floating down the hall at Columbia College next year, “Oooh, I just met the eutest boy!”, you would know that it was Mary Rivers speaking and that an- other poor boy had fallen. But she is not of the light-headed sort, though she is light hearted and wit- ty and enjoys a good time. She has dignity and poise. In other words, she is a good sport and knows when to be grave and when to be gay. And, besides all this, she was voted the most beautiful in the whole school. Mary’s face is her fortune— So I’ve been told; It’s worth more to her Than jewels and gold. NORMA SAULS Walterboro, S. C. “Sis” “Norme” Wildcat staff; History Club. We all know “Sis” by her host of friends, who are always flocking around her. She is a friend, too, one of those “all wool and yard wide” kind. Can she dance? Well, who says she can’t? And you can always tell when “Norme” is around by her good natured laugh. She sure can give you a good time and make you feel at home. We hate for the time to come when we must part. . ALICE WARD SMOAK Walterboro, S. C. “A Hie” Assistant Editor of Wildcat (3) ; Editor of Wildcat; President of French Club. Secretary of Glee Club History Club; Editor of Cedar Chest. Alice, the senior, is the same old dependable girl as she “uster was”. She is very studious and thorough in her work, which has made her one of the leaders of her class. She has studied music for many years and shows great talent along that line. Alice has naturally made a host of friends during her four years of high school, being very popular among the teachers as well as the students, but is not much on shieks. And say—she’s a member of the Infernal Rectangle—Shhh! Some girl. WILLIAM PALMER SAUNDERS Walterboro, S. C. “Panks” “Country” Base Ball (3) ; Foot Ball (2) (3) (4) ; Captain (4) : Vice President of Class; President of Student Council. By his attractive personality “Panks” has won the friendship of all his classmates and teachers. As President of the Student Council he has been ardently admired by all his associates. “Country” has been an outstand- ing star in athletics. He played varsity foot ball and during that time was one of the “Wild Cat”, mainstays. We wish him as great a career in college as he has had in high school. HERBERT L. STOKES Walterboro, S. C. “Measley” High School Orchestra (3) (4) : Class Historian; Manager of Base Ball T-eam; Glee Club; History Club; Wild Cat Staff; Physics Club. On a bright morning of Septem- ber, 1922, the doors of old W. H. S. were thrown open to welcome Stokes, a native of Walterboro and better known to us as “Measly”. “Measly” has always been a hard working student in all lines, but he shows a preference for electricity. Like “Solly’7, he spends much of his time thinking about radios. Not one with more wit can be found, but his special weakne s is Girls. He is partial to the name of Helen and at most any time can be found hanging around near the hospital. “Measly”, old boy, here's wishing you the best of luck. We are as- sured that you will accomplish ’■reat things in the future. ERNESTINE SULLIVAN Walterboro, S. C. “Sadie” “Ernie” Wildcat Staff (3) C4) ; Secretary of French Club ; Secretary of Home Economics Club ; History Club. In Ernestine we find a lovable, sweet girl, a loyal school citizen, and a friend to all. Faults?—she has none, unless it be considered a fault to be especially fond of a cer- tain Junior. “Sadie” is interesting and vivacious and especially fond of Home Economics (she also has judgment and knows what subjects will be of most use to her later!) Her charming personality has won for her a host of friends of both sexes. “Ernie”, we wish you the best of luck in the line you take up, and we know that you will be as suc- cessful in life as you were in high school. EDNA TUTEN Jacksonboro, S. C. “Sophie” “Sophie” is another one of the Jacksonboro pupils who have made such a great impression on our school for the last two years. She has shown a capacity for hard work and also a great interest in all our school activities. She has always been on hand to cheer our teams to victory or to do anything to further the interest of the school. We hate to part with her, but, since she is intelligent, efficient, and skillful, we know that she is going to make the future of her life a success. THELMA GERTRUDE TUTEN Jacksonboro, S. C. “Bunchie” “Little Tuten” History Club; French Club. You've always heard of people “little but loud”. But—ole Thelma Tuten is one of the quietest known. Her motto is, “I often regret my speech but never my silence.” A feature to her credit is that she is “Five—Eoot—Two.” Everybody loves her because she wears a smile all the while and is a typical senior. It is true that “Little Tuten” did not come to us until J24—Jacksonboro had her two years—but we feel that our class has been doubly benefitted by her in that short time and that the school will miss her good work and quiet stickability. MARGUERITE WILLIS Hendersonville, S, C. “Margie” In the fall of ’25 there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth in Hendersonville, for “Margie” was departing for the wilds of Waiter- boro. She was going to seek an education with the hope of some day returning and electing herself mayor of Hendersonville. Her sparkling wit and ready hu- mor are hard to down, but fortu- nately she has a well trained con- science and never does anything that would cause it to rebel. Al- though a stranger in the school in her senior year, she readily took a great interest in the school activi- ties, did especially well in her stu- dies, and made many true friends. The best of luck to you, “Margie9' SENIOR CLASS W. H. S. CEDAR CHEST 1926 o HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’26 On a Monday morning about four years ago we assembled on the school campus to begin our high school career. There were in all about forty Freshmen. On the following Wednesday our real work began. At first it was hard to regulate ourselves to our new environment, new teachers and new class-mates, but finally everything was smoothed out and time began to fly. Hardly did we realize that our mid-term examinations were upon us—hardly did we pass. When these were over and each of us knew our little “Tale of Woe,” we resolved to do better. The second half of the race passed almost as quickly as did the first, and again we were approached by exams. This was our last chance—some of us realized it, and some of us did not. Commencement exercises took place and one-fourth of our high school life was over. At last vacation! Little did we realize that this meant the parting of good friends—some to go to other schools, some to stop school forever. During this vacation we refreshed ourselves and made preparations to enter the sophomore class the following fall. September the tenth we assembled as before to start our second year of high school. This time it did not take as long to get settled, because we had the same faculty as in our first year and only a few new class-mates. This, our second year, passed quietly; and without much difficulty we were rated juniors. Again vacation, and the gap was filled between our sophomore and junior years. Practically the same story of friends and classmates was repeated, and before we knew it we were beginning our third year. Our junior year was filled with more activities than ever we had witnessed, all because of our “Platoon Plan introduced by our Superintendent, Mr. W. H. Ward. Through Mr. Ward and the trustees our teachers were in- creased from five to ten. Now with ten teachers and a new high school building we were able to do more efficient work both in our classes and in athletics. Thus, after nine short months our third year was completed. 31 o — )■ W. H. S. CEDAR CHEST 1926 Three months later we began our senior year, with a class of thirty. After the mid-term examinations we had on roll only twenty seven. One of the missing three fell before the “deadly” fire of “Cupid's” arrow. This year Walterboro Hi, presented to the world the “Eighth District Foot-Ball Champs,” who were coached by Mr. T. B. Stevenson, our athletic instructor. Mr. Stevenson came to Walterboro the year we started our high school career, and has ever since remained a true and loyal citizen. To our other teachers we also owe thanks for what they have done for us and our school. With the hearty support of the teachers and the trustees, Mr. Ward has made “Ole W. H. S.” a secondary high school—a fact that we are all proud of. Whether Walterboro Hi remains a secondary school depends mostly on what its graduates do at college. The class of '26 will do their level best to keep her there, and we sincerely hope that those who follow us will do the same. 32 - o« IE. tf. CEDAR CHEST 1926 THE SENIOR CLASS POEM RY James Howell Rainey Four times we saw the summer wane, Four times saw the fluttering snow; Four times we saw the tender grass Of Springtime come and go. Each changing season brought us near And nearer—man to man. Our Alma Mater fostered us As through our course we ran. At last, upon the brink of life We pause, and linger long, Regretting that the day has come In which we end our song. For, true indeed, a friendship good Is but a song of life; A gentle cadence now and then Disturbed by petty strife. But, when we look across the years, We’ve been together here. We find no cause to once regret What we have done—nor fear. Our friendships have been warm indeed, The handclasps firm and fixed, As year by year we've rallied ’round The Class of 'Twenty-Six. Now, in the portals of the world We linger yet a while To bid farewell to high school days With their bewitching guile. Our years together have been short— Too short, it seems to me. We wish that we could live them o'er Upon the campus free. Yet, time will make the best of friends And even loved ones part; But parting binds them closer still— Each heart to noble heart. Farewell, G noble walla, farewell! Up, classmates loyal—fixed: A health to passing high school days! A health to 'Twenty-Six! 33 CLASS PROPHECY _______________THE WILDCAT_______ Est. 1926 Walterboro, S.

Steven- son, who has in four years placed Walterboro High School second to no other school in South Carolina along this line. Besides being an athlete of ability, Mr. Stevenson is also a student of high stand- ing. finishing his college career in three years, which is an honor but few can claim. Mr, Stevenson has also been one of the leading factors in making Walterboro High School more efficient along educational lines in the past few years. His influence is responsible for W. I-I. S. having a school paper as well as an annual. The students of Walterboro High School deeply appreciate his efforts and ability in helping to make the school what it is today. GIRLS' BASKETBALL COACH WILMGTf JA C OB S BASKETBALL AND FOOTBALL HERBERT STOKES BASEBALL MANAGER ;Sr ' 53 MANAGER W. H. S. CEDAR CHEST 1926 REVIEW OF FOOT BALL TEAM CHAMPS! Well they ain’t nothing else. Captain Saunders and his Wild Cats ploughed through every team in the eighth district with ease and skill. Never before in the history of Walterboro was such marvelous football displayed even by the team of 1925. Black, Peurifoy and Capt Saunders played stellar ball the whole year for W. H. S. and assisted by other members of the team, produced the scrappiest combi- nations in lower South Carolina. Our first game was with Varnville and the Wild Cats got away with a good start scoring thereby seven points, while our opponents carried a goose egg away. The whole team played in fine form and the scrubs also shot their stuff. We next journeyed to the “City by the Sea” but the Porter boys had two much weight for the Wild Cats and we were defeated in a hard foug-ht game. Saunders at half and Hiers at guard played great ball for W. H. S. The next Friday the heraled team from St. Matthews was our visitor. Only the week before they had defeated Hyatt Park “Hi” school of Columbia, but our boys showed up to be a much better aggregation. If only luck had been with us the score would have been quite different. The ball was on the two foot line when the game ended and the whistle sure was a life saver for the “Saints”. The game ended Q—6 in a dead lock. The next two games were the poorest exhibitions the Wild Cats displayed dur- ing the whole season, but the Branchville game did not count anything against our state record. The next game started the closed season for the championship of the district title. The Beaufort game was the best game of the season and more spectacular plays happened in this game than any other, such as Saunders ninety five yard run for a touchdown. The playing was about even in the first half but our boys came back in the second stage of the game and completely outclassed the Beaufort boys. The game came to a close. W. H. S. 13. Beaufort 0. Ah! at last it is here that long waited game with St. George, and here it is in detail. WALTERBORO IS VICTOR AT FAIR Wildcats Completely Outclassed St. George, Their Old Rivals Coach Stevenson’s Wildcats fought their way to victory over their old rivals, St. George, on the Colleton county fair grounds, to the tune of 19 to 0. It was Saunders and his men who made the visitors line wither away when they would plough through with remarkable force and speed that startled the entire St. George team. It was not until the second half that our boysi put over the first touch- down, but the other two came more easily. It appeared that all of St. George's strength was exerted in the first half and the Walterboro squad was just starting to fight. Appleby and his men were on the defense the entire second half and Coach Stev- enson sent his substitutes in the third quarter and they carried the ball over for the third touchdown. Capt. Saunders won the toss of the coin and Walterboro kicked off. St. George received on about the twenty yard line. The first play of the game Appleby tried the center of the line but was stopped by Utsey, a guard behind the line of scrimmage. St. George was forced to punt and Saunders M., received but was too anxious and fum- bled. St. George recovered. They again tried a line buck but failed. Appleby then saw it was useless attempting to go through the line and attempted a pass but failed. A fake pass was then tried and St. George made their only first down. After trying another pass which failed, a field goal was tried and was blocked by Cohen and the ball went over to the Wildcats. A line buck failed and Saunders punted out of danger. St. George received on their forty yard line and after two plays which were not suc- cessful the half ended. 54 ()s” () W. H. S. CEDAR CHEST 1926 ( During the half the students of Walterboro Hi school gave a snake dance, led by Red Nix, Herbert Stokes, Wilmot Jacobs, Helen EsDorn and Ruby Murray. It must have been the cheering of the Wildcats’ classmates which gave them new life in the second half. Rivers again kicked off and St. George received on about their thirty yard line. On their fourth down they had fifteen yards to go. This was just a sample of the way our powerful line was fighting, and Appleby punted to Walterboro’s forty yard line. Saunders P., Saunders, M., Black and Crosby with line bucks and end runs tore the St. George line to threads. This was the first time of the game that our boys dis- played their strength and ability to play football. The first play Saunders, M., took the ball around end for a ftice gain. Crosby made first down. Saunders, P., to give the spectators a little excitement, went around end for about 15 yards. Black then tore through the center of the line for a good run. The line was surely opening up for their backs and the whole team was working with such teamwork as has never been seen on the local gridiron. The only thing said by Referee Harris in the second half was “Walterboro first and ten,” and it did not take but three of these to put over the first touchdown from the forty yard line. At the beginning of the fourth quarter- Carter, Breland and Beach went in for Price, Hiers and Rivers and two other touchdowns were put over, the game with W. H. S. driving again for a touchdown. Price was the star of the game. In the line time and again you would see him push his way through the opposing line stopping their backs before, getting started. The rest of the line played a wonderful game, and it looked like a team with many years experience. Black, Crosby and the Saunders brothers played a game which could not be surpassed in any backfield.

Our next game with Summerville was nothing for the Wildcats if they won, but if they lost it would have meant a disputed title for the district championship, but the boys played their old time ball and Crosby and Black and Saunders, M. and P.- carried the ball in fine style, and the line open up, we came out the big end of the horn 31—0. Our game with Batesburg-Leesville was disastrous to our team, eight of the Varsity men were knocked out and Captain Saunders shoulder was broken. Before all our men were knocked out the score stood 13—7 in favor B-L with Walterboro car- rying the ball on their twenty yard line. If our men could have stayed in the game we would be sure that the score would not have been the £iame at the end of the game. As it was the Twins won by the score 40 to 7. 55 r ■o — o W. H. S.
