As they have taught dedication and self-sacrifice, so have they exemplified the same qualities in dealing with the school and community. Each has strove independently to achieve his goal of helping young people to live an effective, contributing life. And in so doing they have let their ingenuity, (top) Mr. Wallace relaxes in his usual position with his feet propped in a desk drawer.

(right) The photographer caught Coach Wallace in one of the few instances when he calmly watched a game. loyalty, and enthusiasm shine forth. They have won the respect of everyone with whom they have worked. Therefore , the 1972 Gold and Black staff is proud to dedicate this yearbook to two beloved men Mr. Bob Rankin and Mr. Buddy Wallace .

They broadened their knowledge by helping in the construction of buildings, performing at various assemblies, participating in group · activities, exchanging ideas and opinions through normal conversations, and serving the school by assuming responsibilities as teacher and office aides, library assistants, and student leaders. {top) Trudy Lyerly and Cerise Eaddy, after learning to sew in home economics classes, •made many of their clothes. {above) In making a camper fo.r a pick-up, Herbert Brown closely followed Mr. Dunahoe's directions. {middle right) When Miss Powell brought to school some souveniors of her trip to Mexico, Debbie Baxley could not resist trying them on. {right) The masonry class gained experience by laying concrete blocks for the rescue squad's new building. {far right) The magical abilities demonstrated in one of the Southeastern Assemblies challenged the minds of those who saw the performance. �(far left) Angie Taylor demonstrated her talents by singing a medley of songs at the 1972 Miss Gold and Black Beauty Pagea nt.

Participating in intramural track and field day events, working on the Junior Class barbecue supper and the prom decorations, perforrning in the Drama Club play and assembly programs, and attending the monthly dances at the Country Club were a few of the many specific events that marked the year for JHS students.

While solemn ly contemplating past adventures or eagerly anticipating future escapades, the stu dent was seldom alone in his musings because whateve r his emotion of the moment might be, an undescribable joy over an unexpected recognition or despondency becau"Se of a low test grade, all members o f the student body united to share equally their trials and their triumphs.

In the spring of 1971 the young people of the Johnsonville and Hemingway area churches combined their talents and efforts to organize a three-day Youth Crusade through which they brought many of their friends face-to-face with Christ. In the summer with three free months, many JHS students worked at part time jobs in town or in the tobacco fields on local farms while others helped with the summer athletic program at the gymnasium. Then as school resumed in September, they quickly stepped into various roles to meet the needs of the school. Whether the task involved painting the gym, dropping booster leaflets from a plane, editing and distributing the yearbook, ·serving in the elementary library, or collecting money at a barbecue supper, each student displayed intense vitality and enthusiasm that exemplified his joy of living and being a part of his society.

Whether dancing to the music of the " Men of Distinction," marching in the band, competing in a beauty contest or simply enjoying old and new friendships , they radiated the exuberance that is so cha racteristic of the young, who still have the vitality to enjoy life to its fullest.

Miss Alice Hanna, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed senior, captured the title of 1972 Miss Gold and Black over a field of 35 contestants. As Mr. Don Hastings, master of ceremonies, announced each girl, she gracefully walked onto the stage and down the runway against a background of over 3000 brilliantly colored fall leaves. A white picket fence supplied the finishing touches to the stage. The Johnsonville High School Band, under the direction of Mr. William Thayer, provided intermission music while the judges made their decisions. During the main intermission Thornette Cooper , Thomasina Woodberry, and Trudy Powell performed as a trio, and Angela Taylor sang a medley of popular songs. (top) The five finalists, Robin Altman, 4th runner-up; Midge Durant, 2nd runner-up; Alice Hanna, Miss Gold and Black ; Mona Larrimore, 1st runner-up ; and Melanie Ward , 3rd runner-up , await the judges' final decision.

In October, as one of eight sponsors of the senior football players, Susan Blackwell won her title and the honor of reigning at the Homecoming game. Then in January the homerooms selected the four class beauties. The winners , each of whom represented her class in the Gold and Black, were Debbie Baxley, Miss Senior; Geneve Nettles, Miss Junior; Levon Davis, Miss Sophomore; and Edna Mae Wright, Miss Freshman. Representing their classes were (top) Debbie Baxley. Miss Senior; (far left) Geneve Nettles, Miss Junior; (left) Levon Davis, Miss Sophomore; and (above) Edna Mae Wright, Miss Freshman. �Ten students win places in Hall of Fame Ten members of the senior class won the honor of being selected to the 1972 Hall of Fame. The faculty in selecting them took into consideration their academic records; their participation in athletics, clubs, or other extracurricular activities ; their personal in- · tegrity, their emotional stability ; and their social maturity. In other words, the top ten seniors were "well-rounded" individuals. (top left) Trudy Powell, who is in the top ten percent of the senior class academically, is also a regular bus driver.

Academically, Randy earned the distinction of being Valedictorian by maintaining the highest grades in his class throughout high school, which won him nominations as Furman Scholar , Presbyterian College Junior Fellow, and King Teen. He gained recognition , too, as a finalist in the National Achievement Scholarship Program for Negro students. Not only did Randy excel academically, but he also excelled in service to his school and community. He was president of the Beta Club, reporter for the Drama Club , and editor-in-chief of the Flashes, the school newspaper. Winning titles of Outstanding Teenager and Outstanding American Student, Randy, a member of St. Paul's AME Church, worked on the organizational team for the 1971 Youth Crusade. Athletically, he displayed his abilities on the basketball court usually as a member of the starting line-up both his junior and senior years. 26 �Twenty-seven compete for scholarships Each year the high school faculty and administration nominates students from the junior and senior classes to compete for scholarships awarded by colleges and universities throughout South Carolina and neighboring states. Each individual earns his honor through excelling academically, occupying a position of leadership in the school and community , and exemplifying outstanding qualities of character. The 1971-72 scholars, pictured below were, seated : Debbie Lane, Winthrop Scholar; Susan Blackwell, Win· throp Scholar; Alice Hanna, Winthrop Scholar; Martha Meridth, Francis Marion and Winthrop Scholar; Randy Marlowe, Furman Scholar; Bob Turner, Furman Scholar ; Randy Eaddy, Carolina Scholar and King Teen of Wofford College; Bruce Allison, Benedict Scholar; Randy Willis , King Teen of Wofford College ; and John Rowntree, Carolina Scholar; standing: Loretta Hanna, Winthrop Scholar; Esther Douglas, Wesleyan Scholar and Winthrop Scholar; Jean Thompson, Winthrop Scholar; Cappy King, Furman Scholar; Trudy Powell , Wesleyan, Francis Marion, and Winthrop Scholar; Elaine Weaver, Winthrop Scholar; Debbie Baxley, Winthrop Scholar; Robin Altman , Winthrop Scholar; 27 Debbie Jean Eaddy, Wesleyan and Winthrop Scholar; John Lyerly , Francis Marion Scholar; Naomi Pendergrass , Winthrop Scholar; and Barbara Curry, Benedict Scholar. Other Winthrop Scholars who were not present to have their pictures made were Erma Faye Eaddy , Julia Nesmith, and Connie Hanna . In addition to competing for academic scholarships, many of the students were guests for the week-end on the college campuses where members of the administration and scholarship committees interviewed them. �Outstanding JHS students receive state recognition Each year the graduating class of Johnsonville High contains certain students who deserve extra recognition. The class of 1972 was no exception. In the spring Debbie Lane and Trudy Po· well won the honor of representing JHS at the annual Girls' State Assembly at the University of South Carolina in Co· lumbia. At the same time Charles Can· tey, Bucky Coker, Timmy Miller, Nicky Powell, and Randy Willis spent a week at the Boys' State Assembly at the Citadel in Charleston. Each representative participated in activities which directly led to an increased understanding of the functions and operations of the local , state, and federal governments. In May (top) Front row, Randy Eaddy; Esther Douglas; se' ond row, John Rowntree and Randy Willi; served as marshals at the 1971 graduation exercises. (above) Girls' State representatives Debbie Lane and Trudy Powell try to feed an uncooperative duck. (above right) The 1972 DAR Award went to Alice Hanna, who exemplifies good citizenship. (right) Boys' State representatives Tim· m_y Miller, Bucky Coker, Charles Cantey, Nicky Powell, and Randy Willis go fishing for a good time. 1971, the four students with the highest academic averages for the past five semesters participated as marshals in the graduation exercises. The students re· ceiving this honor were Esther Douglas, Randy Eaddy , John Rowntree , and Randy Willis. Then in the fall the high school faculty selected Alice Hanna to receive the DAR Award , by which the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution stresses the qualities of good citizenship. Thus through various forms of recognition, those students who had excelled in scholarship or citizenship received the reward that they each had earned. �Outstanding teenagers win coveted titles Five seniors and one junior won coveted awards for their academic achievements and community services. John Rowntree scored highest in the school on his College Board Examination to earn the title of Star Student while Loretta Hanna outranked thesenior girls on a test of homemaking skills to win the Betty Crocker Award. Charles Cantey, Randy Eaddy, Debbie Lane, and Dale Poston received recognition as Outstanding Teenagers of America because of their roles as leaders in the school.

The girls' performance during the football and basketball pep rallies reflected the long hours of hard work during the summer and after school. They sold ribbons, buttons, shakers, cake chances, and pennants to pay for new pompoms, new hot pants uniforms, and a week at cheerleader camp next summer. But the greatest contribution of the enthusiastic cheerleaders was the instilling of school spirit in the students at JHS through cheering and making posters. (top) The cheerleader squad consisted of, left to right, Barbara Curry; Debbie Ammons; Melanie Ward, captain; Denise Barn- hill, co-captain ; Patsy Poston; and Marilyn Garris. (above) Leading the students in cheers was only one of the duties of being a cheerleader. (right) The girls acquired hotpants uniforms which they wore to the early football games when nights were still warm. 32 �Golf team is runner-up 1n conference The many hours of driving, putting , chipping, and blasting at Johnsonville' s Wellman Country Club proved beneficial for the 1971 golf team. Its head mentor, Mr. Ray McAlister,journeyed with his golfers to numerous matches along the Grand Strand in addition to hosting several matches. The Flashes competed against four conference foes and streaked tluough an undefeated conference schedule. They fell only to strong Kingstree in a non-conference match. Although the conference tournament seemed "a sure thing" for the team, North Myrtle Beach managed to defeat Johnsonville for the third consecutive year. The loss denied the Flashes the right to compete in the state tournament, which the conference winners played at Wellman Country Club.

After scoring only 34 points in their first two meets, the Flashes came alive , finishing fourth with 68 points in their last regular season meet. The Flashes placed fourth in the conference meet with 62~ points. The Johnsonville Medley Relay team tied with Hannah-Pamplico for a conference record time of I :45.4. Flashes' cinderman Joey Newell set a conference mile record with a time of 5 :08 .7 and went on to place fifth in the State Meet with a time of 5:00.05. Leading the team in scoring with 33~ points for the season was Joey Newell. Eric Tanner captured 30 points, Randy Venters scored 27 points, and Fritz Edwards brought home 23~ points. With all underclassmen on the team, the Flashes show signs of future glory on the track. (top left) Gene Altman strains for distance as he hurls the discus.

The Flashes were led by seniors Bubba Coker, Charles Hanna, and Kenny Barnhill. Coaching the Flashes for the third season was Buddy Wallace. Early in the season the team was plagued by inconsistent hitting, mostly on the part of the young and inexperienced players. The batting average showed improvement when the Flashes began to hit well in the middle of the season. Bubba Coker, winning several games with timely homeruns, led the team in hitting. Kenny Barnhill, although bothered throughout the season with arm trouble , pitched five important games near the season's end. The Flashes captured four wins from triple A teams, defeating Andrews 17-0 and 9-0 ; Myrtle Beach 8-1; and Georgetown 5-2. Highlighting the conference schedule were two victories over arch-rival Hemingway, 5-0 and 12-4; and two wins over the Rains-Centenary Bulldogs, 9-1 and 6-3. The only division loss was an 11-3 game against Hannah-Pamplico on the Johnsonville field. The Flashes entered the conference championship with a record of 11-3. The first game was played on the home field of the upper conference champions, and the Socastee Braves pleased the home crowd with a 3-0 victory. In the second game the Flashes possessed the homefield advantage and handed the Braves a 7-3 defeat. The championship game was held at the Coastal Carolina Field in Conway. Although the Flashes enjoyed a 1-0 first-inning lead, the Braves of Socastee came back to take a 3-1 victory. It marked the first time in thirteen years that Coach Wallace had not coached a conference champion. With many of the 1971 veterans returning and several players joining the team from a fine pony league, the Flashes and Coach Wallace are looking forward to a more successful baseball program in the 1972 season. (top) Ricky Coker fields a throw from Randy Willis as they warm up for a home game. Oeft) The 1971 7 AA Lower Conference champions were, front row: Bucky Coker, Greg Furchess, DeWane Humphries, John Gaster, Bubba Coker, Myron Wise, back row: Ricky Coker, Kenny Barnhill, Charles Hanna, Coach Buddy Wallace, Randy Willis, Fritz Edwards, Nicky Powell, and Charles Cantey. 37 �Inexperience fails to hold Flashes back In coaching the 1971 baseball team, Buddy Wallace faced the task of rebuilding the Flashes, who had a tough schedule of six games against triple A teams and only two against an A team. As the season progressed, the Flashes compiled a record of four wins and two losses in the triple A contests. Unfortunately, they dropped both of the games with Olanta, an A class school, by one run each. The Lower Conference 7 AA title was decided by a 4-3 clincher at Hannah, where Bubba Coker's out-of-the-park home run was the deciding factor. In the conference play-off, ttie title fell to Socastee when the Flashes lost 2 of? games. (top) John Gaster, a promising sophomore outfielder, smashes a foul ball down the left field line.

Under the coaching of Mr. Lohr , high school principal , the young and inexperienced team finished the season with a 14 record . The girls lost twice each to Marion and Darlington , but won a thriller with Dillon 54. Six of the seven team members will return to the court for the 1972 season, for which the prospects look brighter.

Such distinction forced the Johnsonville netters into strenuous competition with veteran teams from larger schools in the area. Seniors Randy Walley, Dale Walley, Billy McDaniel, and junior Johnny Tim· mons headed the team which fell twice to Darlington 6-0. (top) In practice Brad Mace waits for his op· ponent's se1Ve.

They saw ahead of them another tough battle for the 7AA crown , especially since they were missing twelve individuals who had led them to the state play-offs in 1970. The Flashes appeared to be outsized when compared with the other conference teams; therefore , Coaches Bob Rankin and Benny Carter set out to build a team that would rely upon speed and agility rather than size. The opening battle of the season was a home game against the Cainhoy Tigers, which ended in an impressive 34-14 victory for the Flashes. In their second consecutive home game the Johnsonville team overcame the Clio Cavaljers 10-8 when Binky Rankin scored two touchdowns on runs of 25 and 22 yards and added a two point conversion. The Flashes continued their winning streak by defeating Andrews 26-6. In the fourth quarter of this game, Fritz Edwards scored the last touchdown of the night with a magnificent 85 yard punt return. Johnsonville suffered its first loss when they met the Latta Vikings , who overpowered the Flashes 24-8. The next Friday night at Socastee, the team successfully opened their fivegame conference slate with a 14-8 victory over the Braves. Binky Rankin passed to Charles Cantey for a 61 yard pass-play in the third quarter to give the Flashes a touchdown. Although the Flashes outplayed the Aynor Blue Jackets the following week , they were outscored , losing both the game, 14-6, and the conference crown . HannahPamplico became the Flashes' fifth victil11 when they were defeated 15-8 on the Johnsonville field. On October 29 at Homecoming the Flashes again proved their ability with a resounding 43-16 victory over North Myrtle Beach . Playing better than ever, the team completed the season with wins over Hemingway, 34-0, and Lake City, 26-7. In coaching the 1971 team to a 9-2 record, Coaches Rankin and Carter ran their three-year record to 28-5-1. 42 �(far left) A glance back at the 1971 season brings memories of victory and defeat, but more than that, of challenge.

Fritz Edwards received the News and Courier's first "Low-Country Player of the Week" award for his efforts against Clio. Five team members made the 7AA allconference team. They were Charles Cantey, defensive halfback; Bucky Coker, defensive end; Fritz Edwards, defensive halfback ; Nicky Powell, defensive halfback; and Randy Willis, offensive guard. Charles Cantey was named to the State's AA all-state team as a defensive halfback. The Flashes were listed in the State's top five AA teams for two consecutive weeks preceding their loss to Latta. They ended the season second in the conference. The Flashes averaged 22.2 points per game, while they held their opponents to an average of l l .l. Over-all it was a successful. year for the football team. 44 �l,•. ~J (top far left) Bucky Coker evaded a host of Hemingway tacklers to grun substantial yardage before being brought down.

From these sponsors the student body elected the queen by secret ballot. As the big night approached, speculation ran high on who the winner was. At tl1e same time the yearbook staff was diligently securing convertibles, making posters for the cars, and gathering information on each sponsor for the announcer to use. The cheerleader squad did its part by contracting a band and planning a dance in the gym. On tile night of October 19th, Mr. Randolph Willis presented tile outgoing queen, Mrs. Ann Johnson Edwards, and the eight candidates to the fans. They slowly circled the football field in convertibles before the game. Their escorts met them at the fifty yard line and escorted them to seats on the side line from where tlley watched the game. At half time the band quickly marched onto the field and formed a half circle. The candidates and their escorts then formed a parallel line in front of the band where they nervously awaited the announcement of the winner. Silence fell upon fans as Mr. Willis named Susan Blackwell the new 1971 Homecoming queen. The crowd burst into enthusiastic applause while Susan received her bouquet of mums and her crown from Mrs. Edwards.

The team was led by the offensive power of two freshmen starters, Glenda Walley and Margaret Hamilton , and the defensive experience of the three older starters, Debbie Lane , Elizabeth Taylor, and Cappy King. The season was off to a bad start, however, as the Flashes met their match in a fine Myrtle Beach team, but the IBS girls rebounded to go into the Christmas holidays with a 4-1 record after victories over Floyds, Rains-Centenary, Green Sea and North Myrtle Beach. The team began 1972 with a bad (above) The 1971-72 girls' basketball team was, kneeling, Margaret Hamilton, Charlotte Taylor , Debbie Lane, Glenda Walley , Pam Powell, Bessie Ruth Eaddy, standing, Cappy King, Elizabeth Taylor, Susanne Altman , Jannie Bell Allison, Debbie Mudge, Teresa Poston, and Janistine Gasque.

Two conference victories followed as the Flashes defeated Aynor and Socastee. The girls ended the first half of the season with a disappointing loss to Myrtle Beach, making their record 6-3. �(lop left) In spite of an attempted block by a Hemingway player, Glenda Walley , number 21, scores another two points.

After this game the Lady Flashes surged ahead to overcome all opponents except HannahPamplico. They opened the second half of the season by hosting Hemingway Tigers, who went away in defeat after the officials called the game in the third quarter because of the time element. But the greatest thrill of the year came when in a rematch the Flashes defeated archrival Hannah-Pamplico after 14 unsuccessful tries. The victory placed the team in a tie for the conference lead. With easy wins over Aynor, Floyds, Rains Centenary , Green Sea, and North Myrtle Beach, that were games in which the second string saw much action, the girls held a conference record of 13-1, and excitedly anticipated the conference tournament.

They showed promise in two matches with a great St. John's team of Darlington and with Kingstree, but ironically , played poorly against a weak Manning team. The season opener was the key for the Flashes, as the team foiled Myrtle Beach with a strong second half and defeated them by 23 points. Floyds became the Flashes second victim three nights later. In the second week of conference play the team had easy wins over both Rains-Centenary and Green Sea, but shortly before the Christmas holidays they suffered a disappointing loss to conference foe North Myrtle Beach. The Flashes hosted the second annual Johnsonville Invitational Tournament, the last week of 1971. The expanded tournament consisted of six game s and six teams. The Flashes watched the first night before bombing outmanned Olanta in the semi-finals, which seeded the team against powerful AAA Howard in the tournament fina ls. However, the Johnsonville boys proved to be too much and beat the Tigers 66-60 to take the title, leaving Howard with runner-up honors. 1972 began on the right note as the Flashes won a close game over HannahPamplico in the H-P gymnasium and went on to easily defeat Aynor and Socastee. But Myrtle Beach earned its revenge with a nine point lead as the Flashes finished their road trips in disappointment. But the disappointment did not match that which followed as the visiting Hemingway Tigers came from behind late in the fourth quarter to edge the Flashes 70-66. However, the season was far from being over and brighter days were ahead for the Johnsonville team. 52 �(top left) Randy Eaddy brings the ball around a Hannah-Pamplico Raider as Charles Cantey gets into position for the play.

However , the Floyds' Eagles proved too much as they racked the visiting Flashes. But the team bounced back with win s over Rains-Centenary and Green Sea before their big match with North Myrtle Beach, the only undefeated team in the co nference. The Flashes pleased the home fans with a great defensive game and upset the Chiefs , 76-59. They closed out their regular season firSl with a victory over Socastee and then a disa ppointing loss to the Hemingway Tigers, which gave an overall 15-5 record . In the conference playoffs which took place at Conway High School, the Flashes first defeated Green Sea before falling to Hemingway in the semi-final round. Named to the All Conference team were Bruce AJlison, second string, and Randy Eaddy, first string. 55 �Cheerleaders boost spirit of JV teams Composed of eighth and ninth grade girls, the junior varsity cheerleaders attended all football and basketball games to spur the JV teams to victory over their opponents. During the summer, the squad sold Stanley Products to earn the money with which to buy gold crushed velvet for making new hot pants uniforms. Then in the fall they sold chocolate bars in order to purchase sweaters, which the team had never had. They finished the year with an over-night party at the home of their sponsor, Mrs. Linda Sparrow.

This was due to the fact that many eligible freshmen and sophomores competed in the varsity program; therefore , Coach Henry Sparrow led a small , young, inexperienced team. Facing a schedule of tough opponents, the Flashes managed to win only one game of seven contests. They lost tough non-conference games to the Hebron varsity, Lake City, and Andrews before dropping their first conference game in a thriller with Socastee. The Flashes also fell to Aynor and HannahPamplico although they showed improvement in each encounter. The final game was a home game with arch-rival Hemingway, and the Flashes came through with a big win, 22-0. (lop) J.V. foolball tri-captains were Mark King, Jimmy Nesmith, and Hal Lewis.

After cutting the team twice , rookie coach Wade Jordan faced a tough schedule with a squad of thirteen girls. The inexperienced team opened their season in a home contest again.s t a strong Terrel's Bay team, who proved too strong for them. In their next home games the girls first defeated the Aynor Blue Jackets before falling to Hannah-Pamplico in a thriller. Then taking to the road , the Flashes brought home victories over Aynor, Pleasant Hill, and Hannah-Pamplico. The Flashes continued their winning streak with a home victory over Pleasant Hill before losing to Terrel's Bay in a close, hardfought game and also falling in their final two games to the Hemingway Tigers. The girls entered the Hemingway Invitation J.V . Tournament with a 5-4 record. In their semi-final game the Flashes defeated Hannah-Pamplico and went on to earn the runn~r-up trophy after losing the tournament championship to Hemingway. :top) The 1971-72 Junior Varsity Girls' 3asketball team consisted of, first row: darsha Avant ; Rena Dale Dennis; Eva Kay 3artell; Cynthia Evans; Althea Marlowe ; )onnell Stone ; Doris Jean Dennis; Gretchen 3aker; second row: Tangela Curry, manager; )andra Gaster, manager; Cindy McDaniel; ~earl Skinner ; Jo Ann Weaver; Joyce John;on; Angie Taylor, manager; and Coach Wade lordan.

Coached by Bob Rankin , the team had average experience but suffered through several close losses. The Flashes opened the season with a disappointing loss to Terrel's Bay. However, their second game ended with an impressive victory over Aynor , but they once again experienced defeat by losing a thriller with arch-rival HannahPamplico in the final seconds of their third game . Then taking to the road, they put down both Aynor and Pleasant Hill before once again falling to Hannah-Pamplico. But with the return to their home court, the boys first took a big win from Kingstree and later scored a victory over Pleasant Hill . However their winning streak was not to last as they dropped their last three games, one to Terrel's Bay and two consecutive games to Hemingway. The Flashes entered the Hemingway Invitational Junior Varsity tournament with a 5-5 record. After a big win over the Hemingway Tigers, they fell to Hannah-Pamplico in the championship game and brought home the runner-up trophy.

The Council taught the principles of self-government, promoted student-faculty cooperation, and enhanced school activities. Projects instigated by the Council included a fund-raising campaign for Tara Hall, a home for needy boys. In conjunction with this , Father Owen E. O'Sullivan spoke to the student body on the joys and problems of maintaining such a home. In answer to his pleas for financial aid, the students raised $357 .00 through donations and gate receipts of the annual powderpuff football game , and they also conducted a food drive at Christmas. To recognize outstanding citizens at JHS , the Council urged the election of a "Citizen of the Month."

The local JHS chapter stimulates and rewards the achievements of diligent students who are interested in learning. It also encourages and assists its members to continue their education after high school. In November the club members undertook a service project. They collected food labels from each homeroom and returned them to the various food companies, who sent money to UNICEF according to the number of labels received. The club also raised approximately one hundred dollars by selling Stanley products. The money helped defray the expenses of fourteen members who attended the state convention in Columbia in February.

First , it has kept the students, faculty, and community fully aware of the new happenings around school. It has also created and expressed school opinion on a variety of issues, one of which was the need for benches on the campus. The Flashes has acted as a means of unifying the school by encouraging and stimulating worthwhile activities. At the same time it has trained students in the application of the principles of journalism and has enabled them to explore journalism as a possible career. On November 4, seventeen staff members attended a workshop at Aynor High School, where they heard a keynote address by Mr. Bob Werich, editor of the Marion Star. During the business session , Tommy McCutchen won the chairmanship of the District V South Carolina Scholastic Press Association. As a result of his election, JHS will host the 1972 district meeting.

On a school level, the band members boosted the football and basketball teams to victory with an enthusiastic pep band at all home games and at pep rallies. They also played at the annual Miss Gold and Bl ack Beauty Pageant and at the graduation exercises. In serving the community the band held fall and spring concerts, marched in the local Fire Prevention Week and Christmas parades, and provided music for an American Legion dance. On a state level, seven students attended a band camp at Furman University during the summer, and a specially selected group participated in the governor's Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Columbia. The band also received an invitation to march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Savannal1, Georgia. With the band's fifth year of existence came the organization of a Band Booster Club, which undertook as its first project the revival of the Halloween Carnival. The club raised approximately sixteen hundred dollars at the event to buy uniforms and equipment for the band. (above) The band performed during halftime at several of the home football games.

The club also sought to instill in each JHS student a sense of pride in himself and his school. The group undertook several fundraising projects in order to buy a block J and a jacket or a sweater for each member. In the fall the club sold chocolate candy bars. Later it sponsored the annual powder-puff football game in which the mighty seniors and freshmen faced the powerful juniors and sophomores, who won the game 13-7. During half-time activities Maxie Davis, who sponsored Janistine Gasque, proudly accepted his crown as the new Powder Puff Queen. Since the members voted to donate the game's gate receipts to Tara Hall, a home in Hemingway for needy boys, the group found itself faced with the need for more fund-raising projects. Therefore, as basketball season went into full swing, the group operated a concession stand at all home games, and the profits went into the fund for jackets and sweaters.

Mr. William T. Thayer , who drove a bus himself due to a shortage of qualified drivers, advised the group and outlined the rules for safe operation of the transportation system. He addressed the club on such topics as bus discipline , stop locations, and route structure. He also stressed upon all drivers the importance of maintaining a clean bus and the need to get students to school on time. Throughout the year the club promoted its goal of efficiency.

The final year involved new privileges and new responsibilities; therefore, the class endeavored to elect the most capable and conscientious students to lead them. Tony Hanna won the office of president, while Nicky Powell captured the vice-presidency. Timmy Miller and Susan Blackwell served respectively as secretary and treasurer. In addition to these officers, each homeroom chose a representative to serve on the Student Council. Winning these positions were Charles Cantey, Chan Cox, and Debbie Ammons.

At the same time he encountered new choices and more difficult challenges. Each found himself faced with questions that demanded answers. Did he want to continue his education? Would he go to college ? If so, which one? Would he attend TEC? What field would he study? How could he finance more education? What job did he want? Eventually from the emotional and intellectual interrogation of "Who am I?" , originated another clearly defined goal, one he would meet head-on and conquer. Thus each senior learned first hand the meaning of the old adage, "Never ending, still beginning."

The guidance counselor, Mrs. Thelma Eaddy, reviewed student records in May , 1971 , to make certain that each senior would have four units of English, three of social studies, two of mathematics, one of science, one of physical education, and at least seven of electives at the end of the 1971-72 school term. In their last year the seniors could take journalism as an elective. Although the class was open to both juniors and seniors, it consisted mainly of twelfth graders who were members of the yearbook staff. Therefore, they used the class as a work period. Psychology and analysis were also offered to seniors to prepare them to meet the challenges of everyday life and college.

Some grieved at being forced to leave the security of a familiar situation and hesitated to embark upon new experiences. Others recognized the moment as the attainment of a long-desired goal and eagerly anticipated the adventures of the future . However, all faced one undeniable truth: it was a moment of farewell - a farewell to friends, to habits , and to childhood. Therefore, with graduation behind him, each individual departed into a new and unexplored world - that of an adult. But graduation had taught one final high school lesson - growing up is learning to say good-bye.

They began their task by electing capable and efficient officers, who led them through the various stages of preparation. First came the group projects to raise the needed 1200 dollars. Then at the beginning of second semester, the class met several times to decide upon the date , theme, class motto , colors, and flower. Afterwards, the officers and sponsors ordered the needed supplies with which the class decorated the gym in April. Finally after eight months of work the big night arrived when the juniors could sit back and revel in their accomplishment.

At the end of the three week campaign, the class had earned over six hundred dollars, and Melanie Ward, junior class president, had captured the prize given to the over-all high salesman. Next, the group sponsored a barbecued chicken supper on January fifth. After a day of cutting up chickens, making slaw, slicing cakes, serving plates, and washing dirty pots and pans, the class had brought the total in the treasury to approximately eleven hundred dollars, and they began to make plans for spending it.

At the beginning of the third week in April, the juniors started spending every free minute in the gym while the seniors spent their time trying to sneak in to see the decorations. Then on Friday night, May fifth, after tedious hours of hard work, the class of '73 welcomed the class of '72 to a "Love Story."

Since they were no longer the youngest class, they experienced a greater status and exerted more influence on school happenings. Also being familiar with the established procedures and customs , the sophomores displayed their increased self-assurance by more actively participating in extra-curricular activities, and thus they acquired an even greater feeling of belonging to their school.

They faced the swift pace of class changes and the adjustments to the new social whirl by getting lost a few times and occasionally calling a junior or senior by the wrong name. However, each freshman soon found his proper place and eagerly looked forward to being an upper classman.

Some decided to enter the vocational field of agriculture while others broadened their knowledge for the business world. Many of the girls chose home economics in preparation for their future homes and families, and others chose the college curriculum to insure their future education at an institution of higher learning.

Mr. H. M. Floyd, Superintendent of District Five, drew upon his years of experience to establish a bond of understanding and cooperation between the schools and community. Mr. L. D. Bradley, Administrative Superintendent, organized and supervised the transportation of students to and from school while Mr. Jerry Powell as Federal Coordinator channelled federal funds into projects and equipment that would upgrade the educational backgrounds of the students. Assisting the three men by keeping the books and performing a variety of secretarial duties were Mrs. Velma Haselden and Mrs. Kathy Powell, who kept the district office functioning efficiently. 102 �(far left) As District Five Superintendent, MI.

Mr. Thomas Lohr, principal, and Mrs. Thelma Eaddy, counselor, consulted individually with each student in the spring to ensure that he was selecting the proper courses to prepare him for the future. Then throughout the 1971-72 school year each student felt free to talk with either Mr. Lohr or Mrs. Eaddy concerning any difficult situation because both were always willing to listen and give a fair evaluation of the problem. Mrs. Eaddy also worked extensively with the seniors in helping them to choose a college or school for future education and to obtain admission and fmancial aid.

Miss Powell carried the college-bound seniors through English literature from Beowulf to the modern writers while the vocationally-minded seniors studied contemporary works by world-wide authors. Junior courses emphasized the development of American literature, and the freshmen and sophomore classes became acquainted with the various types of literary works. All teachers used the library facilities to supplement the textbooks; and Mrs. Elaine Eaddy, librarian, conducted several sessions to teach students to use the library to its fullest. Mrs. Timmons worked extensively to upgrade the reading ability of those students who could not succeed in a regular English class.

The math department acquired an additional teacher that reduced the size of the classes and permitted more individual instruction. The math teachers also made more extensive use of a series of tapes which supplemented the regular classroom program and gave the students a greater depth of understanding. On the other hand, the science department ordered new equipment for both the classrooms and the laboratory, which would allow a practical application of the scientific concepts discussed in class. (top) Mr. D. I. Wilson, Ill , teaches geometry, analysis, mechanical drawing, and Algebra II while Mrs. Ernestine Smith teaches general math, Algebra I, and civics. (above) Mr. M. E.

(above far right) In his physical science, physics, and chemistry courses, Mr. Mendel Poston frequently holds lab sessions. (right) Mr. Buddy Wallace teaches biology, general science, and distributive education as well as coaches varsity boys' basketball and baseball. �Classes give storehouse of knowledge Whether the course was typing, French, world history, or psychology, the teachers had one main objective to impart to each student a storehouse of knowledge upon which he could draw in his everyday life. Psychology helped to develop a greater understanding of human behavior while the French classes not only taught grammatical structure and pronunciation but also promoted international goodwill by emphasizing the culture and customs of France. World history and United States history, on the other hand , provided a review of past civilizations and events that determined the present world situation. The business courses taught skills such as typing, bookkeeping, and shorthand that would benefit the student in his later life. (top) Miss Dotherine Williams teaches business English, first year typing, and general business while Mrs. Madeline Lyerly teaches Typing I and II, bookkeeping, Shorthand I and II , and business law and office practice.

Mrs. Mary Sue Altman, who was formerly a math teachers' aide, and Mrs. Louise Mace monitored the studyhalls and encouraged each pupil to use his time wisely and to avoid wasting even a minute. The boys' and girls' physical education classes, taught by Mr. Bob Rankin and Mrs. Deloris Brock, promoted good health and physical development as well as a greater appreciation of sports in general. Participation in the band, which Mr. William Thayer directed, developed the musical talents and abi· lities of the students and taught the importance of unity and co-ordina· tion. (top left) Mrs. Mary Sue Altman and (top right) Mrs. Louise Mace, study hall monitors, often aided the teachers by helping with some of the time-consuming paper work.

Mr. Jowers' masonry classes built a new field house with dressing rooms and a concession center for use at the football and baseball games. They also worked on the construction of a new rescue squad building. For those students interested in an agricultural future , Mr. Tanner taught basic agricultural skills and agricultural mechanics that stressed the upkeep of farm machinery. A course in horticultural provided a background for landscaping and gardening. Mr. Dunahoe's carpentry classes helped build several houses in the community, and Mrs. Sparrow's home economics classes learned basic home-making skills. (top left) Mr. J. W. Jowers, masonry teacher, instructs his students in the shop before they work on a building project.

The small classes allowed the two teachers, Miss Marva Gail Johnson and Miss Earline Fleming, to give the students much individual attention as they taught basic mathematical and reading skills. They also tried to develop each child's understanding of himself and others so that when he was academically able to return to a regular classroom, he could also function successfully in most social situations which he would encounter.

The children, divided into two groups, attended either the morning or afternoon session where they learned to study and explore their environment, to develop skills and concepts basic to future learning, and most of all, to live harmoniously with other children and adults. Kindergarten provided a year in which the five-year-old could deal with the expanding world at his own pace. Teachers and aides gave special consideration to ensure that every pupil experienced a sense of security and selfconfidence in an environment outside his home . Learning experiences pre- pared each child for the first grade . He worked to develop his visual and aural ruscrimination through the use of records, tapes , charts, flashcards and games. On the other hand, balance bars and builrung toys helped to develop the physical coordination of each child.

Assisting Mr. Lane were Mrs. Ella Cooper and Mrs. Geraldine Hatchell, who kept records, handled money, and performed other clerical tasks. Mrs. Bobby Batchelor maintained the health room where she taught proper health habits , administered frequently needed first aid , and checked ears and eyes.

All courses emphasized the need for independent thought , good human relationships, and social responsibilities. Simultaneously, the teachers concentrated on instilling mathematical concepts, developing reading ability, and improving each individual's use of the English language.

Classrooms con tained paperback libraries through which students learned that reading is fun, and the reading teachers used materials such as tape recorders, phonics workbooks , the Durrell Jetter sounding program, and tachistoscopes to reduce the number of failures due to reading difficulties.

(right) In the remedial reading program Mrs. Eleanor Weaver, teacher, and Mrs. June Thayer, reading consultant for district five, work with students on a new machine, the talking page. 134 �Classes give students basic backgrounds During the 1971-72 school year, the kindergarten and special education classes continued to meet the needs of their students. In its third year of existence, the kindergarten program grew in enrollment, and subsequently the students entering first grade possessed more experienced backgrounds. The special education classes sought to teach students who lacked the ability to meet the demands of a regular class the basic skills for functioning in society. (top)Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Catherine Powell and her aide Miss Rosa L. Mitchell display their students' work to help them develop a sense of pride in their accomplishments.

And each new encounter expands not only his knowledge but also his self-confidence and his poise. Recess has special pleasures, such as (top) a game of "There was a senorita .. ." (above left) a laugh with a best friend, and (above) a climb on the round monkey bars if an empty spot can be found. 139 �Season ends with Cowboys in first place Early in the fall , approximately eighty boys who were 8 to 12 years old tried out for the mite football team. Since there was such a large tum-out, the volunteer coaches divided the boys into four teams , the Cowboys, the Rams , the Colts, and the Packers. Each team played once a week, and at the end of the season , the first place team , the Cowboys, played an all-star team made up of players from the other three. The all -star team won. Each team had its own set of cheerleaders, whom the captains of the varsity cheerleaders had chosen. (top) The Packers were , 1st row, Steve McWhite; Stanley McWhite ; Robert Nesmith; Kay Evans; 2nd row, George Skinner; John Henery; Johnny Skinner; Raymond Allison; and Allen McKenzie.

Each teacher's objective was to help his pupils gain basic information and to develop the habits, skills, and attitudes appropriate for children nine to ten years old. Teachers also stressed the importance of the student's understanding of himself not only as an individual, but as a member of his family , school, and neighborhood. Through a thorough knowledge of himself and his role in society, each student became a better citizen.

Each teacher and Mrs. Chandler, librarian, encouraged students to frequently use the library as a source of vast information and reading pleasure to develop their minds. As a part of physical development, the Johnsonville athletic department sponsored mite football and basketball, in which many fourth grade students took part. (right) Allen McKensie and Vernon Bartlette find that the library has many books that offer hours of pleasure. (opposite page) Marla Hanna makes her first debut as 1972 Little Miss Gold and Black.

They continued their study of phonics as a means of improving their reading ability, and Mrs. Mackey strove to help each child read fluently with enjoyment as well as with comprehension. In addition students faced the challenges of mastering cursive writing and learning the multiplication tables while a study of South Carolina history helped to teach members of each class about their ancestors and great heritage.

A study of phonetic skills helped students to sound out new words, as well as the basic Dolch words. Each child also learned to write complete sentences correctly and to spell and use new words. In addition to the language arts program, second graders participated in the new math classes which presented number sets, sentences, and equations repeatedly. Students used new, individual plastic number lines, which proved to be good teaching aids, in their introductory study of simple algebra and geometry.

For most of them school was not a new experience be· cause they had attended kindergarten the previous year, and the only difference was that they moved from the Middle School to Johnsonville. One of the first tasks which the teachers undertook was to instill in each student skills that are fundamental to all the language arts. They taught aural and visual discrimination and strived to develop speech and word association skills. Renee Ard Ivan Altman Gerald Atkinson Tommy Avant Wanda Avant Leroy Barr Raymond L.

At the year's half-way point, Mrs. Godbolt replaced Mrs. Stackhouse , who had resigned. The children in the special education classes undertook projects which allowed them to experience some degree of success, and they were encouraged to help themselves by being permitted to progress at individual speeds. Each teacher also sought to instill in every child a sense of self-confidence and self-esteem which helped him to learn to reason for himself. {top) Mrs. Howard uses many techniques to help students upgrade their reading abiliues. {right) Mrs. Poston often reads stories to tpe members of the special education class as they work on handicrafts.

Mrs. Martha Bell, secretary to Mr. McAlister, performed many secretarial and clerical tasks including collecting lunch money at the cafeteria door. Mrs. Mary Generette, replacing Mrs. Emily Lewis second semester, used the duplicating machine to keep teachers supplied with supplementary materials, as well as tests. Since Mrs. Mary Dean Huggins served as school nurse for Elementary, Middle and High Schools, Mrs. Blossom Generette, her aide, remained in the elementary health room. Through the combined co-operation of each of these individuals, the elementary school office functioned both smoothly and efficiently during the 1971-72 school term. (top) Mr .

Each teacher sought to instill a sense of social responsibility and a respect for good human relationships, as well as to contribute to each student's fund of basic knowledge. But perhaps most important, they encouraged students to cultivate independent thinking.

(below) Also teaching second grade are Mrs. Burgess Altman and Miss Naomi Dicks. 155 �Departments aid students Variations in the instructional program of the elementary school helped to meet the needs of both the students and faculty. While the remedial reading department aided students who were reading below their grade level and helped classroom teachers to utilize the latest methods of reading instruction, special education classes provided students who could not succeed academically with the opportunity to gain the foundation they Jacked and to return to a regular classroom situation. In addition, the music department gave each student a better appreciation of the fine arts, and the classroom teacher gained a few minutes for relaxation as Miss Scarborough took over each class. (top) The special education classes are conducted by Mrs. Nellie Poston, teachers' aide; Miss Katie Godbolt ; and Mrs. Mollie Robertson.

(right) The remedial reading teacher, Mrs. Rose Howard, and her aide, Mrs. Ida Mae Tune, strive to increase students reading levels by providing relaxed and pleasant surroundings for learning. 156 �Maintenance workers play important role The efficient operation of the Johnsonville schools was the result not only of the teachers and administrators but also · of the lunchroom workers and maintenance staff. At eight o'clock each morning Mrs. Essie Davis, cafeteria supervisor, and her staff began preparing a wellbalanced and nutritional lunch whlch they served to both the elementary and high school students. Mr. John Davis and Mr. Cephus Bridge, on the other hand assumed responsibility for the upkeep of the campus and classroom buildings along with Mrs. Rhoda Poston and Mrs. Dorothy Thomas.
