The class of '50 is indeed fortunatt in having a leader, Janet Eaddy, who possesHs these a ttri bu tes. Janet is also president of the Beta Club, a member of the Flashes Staff, Art Editor of the Gold and Black and a member of the basketball team. She was an attendant in tbe May Court and received the 1950 DAR Good Citizenship Award. She expects to enter Converse College where, judging front the past, she will make a.e enviable record. �SENIORS CLASS OFFICERS Janet Eaddy, President ; Billy Hanna, Vice President; Lucile McD.

The sch ool is the wor k shop in which young people may gain knowledge as to bow they m ight m aintai n the four freedoms w hich every d emo cracy holds dear. The student should avail h imself o f ever y opportunity for learning which the schools o ffer . He cannot afford to be ignora nt. The world needs t he vision that is youth's coupled w ith the w isdom that co mes fro m experience. Our school attempts to provide the o ppor tuni ty for the student to gain this experience b y allowing him to ma k e experiments in fi elds of interest to him.

This is a pleasant duty but at the same time o ne that is filled with touches of sadness as we reflect upon the number who were at one time members of our class and who for various reasons have drifted elsewhere. As w e enter ed school twelve years ago there were about forty £nrolled in the first grade. Our enrollment is about half t hat number now and the personnel of the class bas almost entir ely changed. There are only four of the original members -Janet Eaddy, Sophie Matthews, Rena Howell, a nd Lucille McDaniel- still in the class, and Lucille has cha nged her name from McDaniel .to Calcutt. However, she is not th e o nly married member, Carolyn Prater added the title of " Mrs." and the name "Ward" just after she bad fi nished the tenth grade. As first graders we little knew what hardships and difficult undertakings lay between us at that time and graduatio n from the twelfth grade. We went through the ever changing process caused by failures, transfers, and additions. Bidding departing members "goodbye" with scarcely a sigh o f regret , we added new members equally as undisturbed. But under the wise direction and guidance of Miss Lizzie W . Cockfield, Mrs. Rema Taylor, Miss Betty Welchell, Mrs. E. S. Stoddard, Miss Eleanor Cox, Miss Carolyn Beach, and Mr. W . R . Jones, we finally came to the end of the gramm a r grades and were ready for high school. As was the custom a t that time, we were joined in the eighth grade by members from nearby g.rammar schools. From Vox came Caro ly n Prater, Una Vivian Hanna, Billy Hanna, Gladys H a nna, John W. Lyerly, and Jeanette Altman; from Prospect w er e L eGrande Cox and Vernon Evans. From Trinity came Maisie and Jean Poston ; from Old Johnsonville came Ponnie Gaster and Frances Gaster. Danny Altman joined us frmo G eorgetown, and Harry Gaskins from Leo. T hus reinforced we were ready to delve into the mysteries of chemistry, mathematics, and similar subjects. It is certain that w e fonod them mysteries and it is equally as certain that w e left them mysteries. In history we learned Western Europe from Charlemagne to Victoria and· forgot it again within the same year. As a class we cannot lay claim to any scientific discoveries or mechanical inventions, but as a whole, our record is good and of much importance to us. Outstanding in athletics have been several of our num ber. Maisie and Jean Poston, Jeanette Altman, Sophie Matthews, and Janet Eaddy have contributed their share in helping make an enviable- record in basketball during this year. John William Lyerly, LeGrande Cox, Vernon Evans, Harry Gaskins, and Thalmer Abrams have done equally as well on the boys team. Our class was ably represented in "Boy's State" in Columbia by Billy Hanna. The president of the Johnsonville Chapter of the Beta Club, Janet Eaddy, appeared on the program at the State Convention at Columbia in March. Lucille McDaniel was voted "Miss Hi M:iss" while Janet Eaddy won the DAR Award. Other members have taken part in the average amount of activities. Tbalmer Abrams has assisted in the safety patrol, while Carolyn Ward, Lucille McDaniel, Danny Altman, Lorena Howell, and Una Vivian Hanna have been most valuable as typists for the School Flashes and The Annual . The members of our class are a versatile group and almost all have developed some outstanding talent or skill. But, Classmates, this brief sketch is not your history. Nor am I capable of writing your history. Deep graven on the tablets of your memories are the events of your school life and those who would know your history must read it as is unfolds itself in your future lives. What you have done here and what you have been here are but the foundation on which you must build as you leave these familiar balls and go out into the future. May we each one keep ever before us the ideals and precepts instilled in us during our .school days here at dear old Johnsonville High! Signed, LUCILLE McD.

But this was brought to my mind very forcibly on the trip as I came across som e former class mates of " D ear Old Johnsonvill~ High. As my husband (Luther Neal Ward) and I boarded the Tra ns World Airliner to begin our trip around the world, whom shou ld I find as p ilot but Danny Altman! H e is a captai n in t he T . W . A. Upon hearing a familiar voice warn us to fasten our safety belts, I recognized Sophie Matthews, stewardess, on the sam e plane. Upon reaching San Francisco a nd strolling through th'! building of the Texas Oil Wells, I noted on a door-plat.:: the words, "Vernor Evans, Presiden t." Of course we went in to visit him for a few minutes, but not until after his secretary, Lorena Howell, had made us wait while b e finish ed an important co nference. Lorena said that her old schocl chum, Lucille McDaniel, is now Mrs. Mayo Calcutt a nd also lives in California. Vernon told us that Ponnie Gast 2r is in charge of the company's office in Houston and that his associate is L egrande Co?' . W e also found out that Thalmer Abrams was operating a chain of thea tres in several west -coast cities. After an easy ride across the Atlantic we were soon ready to visit some of the well -known places in Paris. At the famous Music Hall we noted on the program, "Concert by Billy Garla nd Hanna, America's greatest pianist." Upon listeni ng to his . playing I realized that he bad achieved his life long a mbition. One night as we retu rned to our rooms we found an invi tation to a dinner to be given at the Palace Hotel in our honor. Our hostess was no other than J eanette Altman, now Mrs. P ercival deLong, a social celebrity. She has been num bered as one of the ten best dressed women in America. Among the other guests was Mrs. Donald Eaddy, form erly Una Vivian Hanna . She and her husband manage the Stork Club in H ollywood. Desiring to visit some of the excl usive dress shops in Paris I soon fou nd one of outstanding elega nce. There I saw one o f the loveliest models with a face quite familiar to me. Upon inquiry I found her to be Jean Poston, who is very much at home in that wonderful city . She told me while there to be sure to visit Madame Peru Van Heffen, the former Janet Eadd y, who has gainde world wide r ecognition as a n interior decorator. Upon our arrival in New York while en route home, we saw M aisie Poston , who is the physical education director at a New England College. She told us that Frances Gaster is Dean of W om en at the sam e college and that they fre quently get together and discuss former school days as Johnsonville. Bu t we couldn ' t stay there long. Our next stop, Rome , Ital y, brought us some surprises. A t the hotel where we stopped w e were greeted by a familiar smile and hand-clasp -that o f Harry Gaskins. who had married a lovely Italian girl. W e visited in their home and found them most charm• 1ng. But, Dear Diary, here I am at home again in Miami, and how glad I a m to be back ! Time has brought much contentment and happiness to each one of our classmates, but no doubt each occasionally has a bit of nostalgia for dear old School Days at Johnsonville High.

The staff of the 1950 annual, under the direction of Mrs. Carter, advisor, voted to portray the different departments of the schools showing that they each have one central aim-that of developing the student into a self-reliant, efficient citizen. A citizen who is physically strong, mentally alert, socially well-poised, and morally responsible. In striving to reach this goal the school each year places more and more responsibility upon the student and sees that be participates actively in several different projects of interest to him. STAFF OF THE GOLD AND BLACK 1950 Left to right: Jean Poston, Harry Gaskins, Mrs. Carter, Sponsor; Janet Eaddy, Billy Hanna, Carolyn Ward, Jeanette Altman, Maisie Poston, Lucille McDaniel, Una Vivian Hanna. The publication of a year book gives the seniors training in raising and handling a budget as well as in assembling and preparing materials. Financing the annual is one of their greatest problems. This they do by soliciting advertisements and by selling individual pictures. Proceeds from the Senior Play, usually the peak of senior activities, also add to the annual fund. Some money is realized from 'tbe sale of the yearbook, and especially so since it includes pictures of classes in grammar school as well as ·of those in high school. �PUBLICATIONS FLASHES 1949- 195Q The School Flashes, published monthly by memb~U"s of the senior class under the direc~ tion of Mr. Mace, adviser, is a member of the South Carolina Scholastic Press Association. While on a field trip to Charleston the students gained inspiration for their work by going on a conducted tour of the building where the News and Courier a nd Charleston Evening Post are published. It is customary for a staff elected from the junior class to assume the responsibility of publishing the Flashes at the beginning of the second semester. This arrangement gives the senior members the opportunity of training the juniors in that line of work while the juniors derive benefit from the experiences already gained by the out- going staff.

Back row: Rena Howell, Harry Gaskins, Maisie Poston, Billy Hanna, Sophie Matthews. By publishing a school paper the members of the staff gain experience in several fields. "The editorial column gives the student a medium through which be might voice student views and opinions. The student's ability to interview personages and to solicit advertisements is developed. He gains training in writing and composing as well as in typing and making copy for advertisements. Besides thus developing those who compose the staff, perhaps the most · .nportant mission of the paper is to serve in a public relations capacity between the school and the home. • �VOCATIONS Vocational training provid es diversifi ed occupations for the student.

Playing to a large and appreciative audience on April 7th, the senior class presented the three act farce , "Damsels In Distress." With Una Vivian Hanna and Janet Eaddy acting the parts of two college girls who were getting money from "home" and using it for "other purposes"-one purpose being to help pay the expenses of a medical student, Billy Hanna, who in turn was using it for "other purposes" -the audience was kept in an uproar of laughter as well as sus• pense . SOME OF THE DAMSELS IN DISTRESS Everything went well until the hot frying pan had to be quickly but secretly hidden. The place chosen was under the couch cover where "Old Mrs. Jones" (Danny Altman) had a case of flu. But that didn't matter as she (he) was soon elsewhere minus some wearing apparel!

Averaging 25 points a game, Maisie Poston led the girls' bask etball team with 560 scores. The second high scorer was Janet Eaddy with 217.

We acknowledge with grateful thanks th e many helpful suggestions and kind advice of our superintendent, Mr. Floyd. Throughout the whole undertaking we have felt that he was lending us whole-hearted support and this encouraged us t o greater efforts. To Mrs. Carter, our sponsor, w e also give a word of thanks for keeping us "on the job" even though she did have to " pin a few tQses" on us to do so. To Mrs. Lyerly for her helpful suggestions about typing and arranging materials, to Mr. Mace who first interpreted to us what a lay out mat is, and to the other members of the faculty who so graciously a ssisted by allowing pictures to be made of their activities and who were always willing to excuse us from classes when necessary, we pay tribute. To Una Vivian and Carolyn who so willingly used their automobiles in making trips for pictures, obtaining advertisements etc., we also give a vote o f thanks. ·· To all others who have assisted us in any way and especially to our advertisers for financial aid are we grateful. Speaking collectively this is decidedly "our" book-it is a product of the senior class more than the staff. As the time came for preparing writeups, layouts, and composition work or for typing and arranging cuts many of our number had become so involved in basketball schedules, tournament games, getting married, or other exciting activities, that such pros~ic work as preparing copy for an annual had to be laid aside. To those who took up where others left off and carried the work on, go our first thanks. Our class has always been known for its unusually fine spirit of cooperation and " Stick- to-it-ivity" and in this case the class has upheld this same tradition• • We do not always look this formal or. saintly.
