teachings, our lives were laid out along the lines that, we hope, will reflect credit and honor to them as well as to ourselves. Teachers of W. H. S.: We wish to take this means of showing to you that we heartily and sincerely appreciate your efforts in our behalf—; that in spite of the times you thought us ungrateful—in spite of the little things we did to worry and harass you in years gone by, we realize with full hearts that all we are, or will be, is due entirely to you and your teachings. OUR FACULTY Mr. W. H. Ward, our superintendent, has always been interested in the affairs of the classes and students, and he is ever ready to help and give information on any sub- ject. The school owes its greatest appreciation to him. Mr. T. B. Stevenson, principal and teacher of Physics and Science, is most efficient. He has been with Walterboro High School for six years, and the school feels that he is a very necessary part. Mr. Stevenson has done a great deal to make athletics an im- portant feature in the high school work. Miss Genevieve Garris, teacher of Geometry and Algebra, has won the hearts of everyone for the three years that she has taught here. Her work has been excellent; and it is felt that a great advantage was had when Miss Garris came to teach in W. H. S. Miss Maude Bruce Jones, English teacher, has been with W. H. S. for two years. Miss Jones specialized in English at college; and she has taught the students a great deal that they should know in that subject. Although Jones is rather strict, we have found out that we learn much more when a teacher is That way. Miss Mary Lee Rivers is our teacher of Music. W. H. S. almost lost a very good member of the faculty when Miss Rivers thought she would not return; but at last she decided that she could not leave us. She has been with us for three years. Miss Beryle Brawley, playground and auditorium teacher, has won the entire student body due to her pleasing personality. She has been very successful with plays and other programs and we are very sorry that she can’t be with us next year. Miss Elizabeth Sullivan, our Bookkeeping, Typewriting, and Shorthand teacher, has done more good in W. H. S. than we can express. She is training us to be real men and women. Everyone loves her because of her kindness and sweet disposition. She’s been with us for three years. Miss Frances Hunt, history and English teacher, has just come to us this year, but we already feel we can’t do without her. Miss Hunt is very quiet and sedate; but that kind often make the best teachers; and all the students say she is excellent. Mrs. Clara Fishburne has been with us for years and we feel that something would be missing if she were not here. When we need advice or help, Aunt Clara” is our mark. She has helped us a lot with the Library and has proven very efficient in that line. We miss Mr. Craig Kennedy, French teacher, very much, since he left us at Christ- mas to become principal of Seneca High School. He was coach for the boys' athletics 6

Ward TO THE FACULTY To the Faculty of Walterboro High School belongs the credit of molding our characters to become true men and women. As we journey onward along the pathway of life, the honors that we may receive, and the good we may do in the world can be directly traced back to the teachings of our efficient faculty. The class of ’29 entered W. H. S. writh minds and character as pliable as sculptor's clay; and through the un- tiring efforts of the faculty in the years that followed, through their most efficient 5

and was also playground teacher. He showed a great deal of interest in all his work and we wish he were back with us. Although Mr. Lowre, who took Mr. Kennedy’s position, has only been with us since Christmas he has won a place in everyone’s heart. We are very sorry he will not be back with us next year. Mr. Lowe is teaching French, Latin and playground work. Mr. L. W. Alford, Agriculture teacher, also left us in the middle of the year for the position of County Demonstrator. He advanced Agriculture in W. H. S. so much that it is a very popular subject now. We all miss him; but we feel he is doing, work that will help more for the community. Mr. H. G. McColl, who succeeded Mr. Alford, has been very popular with the boys—and girls. We were very fortunate in having him come to teach here. Miss Marjorie Oliver, teacher of Home Economics, is the only Home Economics teacher we have had for more than a year; but we are very sorry that we cannot have her back next year. She is another that is very strict; but the Home Economics students have learned how to cook and sew while she has been teaching. We hope, Miss Oliver, that your cooking and sewing will be very useful in later years. Mr. I. Y. Caughman, History and Biology teacher and assistant athletic coach, is one of the most popular teachers of the school; and has won many friends. He has made History an interesting subject instead of one that was always dreaded. We feel very forunate that we were able to have Miss Ida Mae Fishburne back with us this year. She taught here four years ago; and the students were sorry to have her leave us. She teaches English, Algebra, and Geography. We wash she'd stay. Miss Ruby Murray, the office dog,” has been very faithful and has done her work efficiently all the year. This is only her first year of office work here; but we hope she wTill be with us again and again, for her “square deal” has made all love her. CLASS POEM Behind us are the cliffs we had to climb, The stepping stones to success; Now7 we look back over the sandy tracks of time And recall memories we love best. We can not tarty the race is not run, Before us rises the steep mountain cress; And we must cross ere the setting sun, And on the other side find rest. We are the toilers to whom God gave The gifts that are good to hold; We worked full hard and hardships braved And in success were manifold. Free from the stain of iniquity. In the mold of honor our lives were cast; Trained by standards of purity Lords of the future, guardians of the past. Onward we struggle to higher height, Driven by the law which bids us know; We can not live without the light We must forward or backward go. 7
