Mrs. Ruth Robinson, president of JUMP, presided. GREAT Town is a program initiated by the State Development Board to improve the economy of small towns through more industrial activity. Its program is designed to prepare local leadership to successfully promote economic development, provide public recognition to those towns which achieve GREAT Town status, to provide the state with an inventory of towns ready to deal with prospects, and to promote community spirit and The program as developed by the State Development Board centers around a coordinator and a six member committee, which will meet with prospects to discuss the prospect's needs and the assets of the town. Each • member of the committee is to be knowledgeable in one area of concern to any prospective industry considering relocation. These areas are sites, hwnan resources (labor), transportation and market services, livability, finance, and local goverrunent and tax structure. Each of these subjects is of concern to any businessman considering locating in a community and it is essential that any group promoting their town be completely informed and able to answer any questions the prospect may • Requirementg of the program are that a non profit development corporation be forn1ed, which is authorized to accept and disburse funds, buy land and purchase options, and engage in other activities essential to the program. Second, a community information brochure must be printed listing pertinent information about the town and a slide tape presentation must be developed. Community information such as taxes, utilities, education, transportation existing industry, fuel labor supply, site availability, etc, should be included. Third, a minimwn of four industrial sites of at least 10 acres must be obtained either by purchase or optiqn.

HANCOCK Observer Agricultural Editor JOHNSONVILLE. S. C., May 1 This town of 1.500 persons, in w heart of the Pee Dee. is (straining at the leash in anticipa( . * , _.' *,- 3J' Ition of the textile industry schedluled to start operations here some (time this summer. Already it is feeling growing I pains, and the townspeople are loud in their praise of the WellIman Combing Co, for having sellected Johnsonvitle for the site of (the first mill of its kind in the ! state and perhaps the South. According to present plans of [the Daniel Construction Co., of Greenville, the 150,000 square foot plant will be ready for oc jcupancy "in early summer." C. S. Carter, in charge of the [construction work of the $3,000,000 (plant, said "it should be ready for i* installation of machinery this {summer and operations can be (started then." Mr. Carter described the work I to be done as "turning grease wool [into yarn ready for the weavers," le added that the wool would Icome from South Africa. South (America. Australia, and "some will I be domestic wool." By "grease wool." he said, he (meant it was wool that comes dijrectly from the sheep's back be | fore the lanolin is removed from it. Ground for the single story pro* ject was broken last Febrauary IS. However, Mr. Carter said, plans ,for construction were actually started on Feb. 6. The plant is so designed that it can be enlarged any time the de mand for its products increases It will employ some 250 local per sons who will be trained for their jobs by engineers which the Well man company will send here. Mr. Carter said that it was hie understanding that Walter Rohifi soa of Lowell, Mass., will be the manager of the plant and that Mr Robinson is scheduled to arrive here next week. The plant is located about a halfmile north of Johnsonvilie on the Mullins highway. The site was an old farm and there is room for any type of operation a well as expansion of the plant.

When completed the 220-acre course which includes a $50,000 club house, the course will have seven natural fed water holes which total 22 acres of wate'r, 33 sand traps, and a green which could require a 194-foot putt. The club house and golf course began with phase one of a two phase program in 1965 which was opened in June of 1966. Phase one consisted of nearly half of the club house being built and nine of the eighteen hole golf course constructed. Additional rooms and the construction of the last nine holes and the installation of an automatic watering system were to be completed in phase II. A goal for a country club was ;) set five years ago when a group of business men banded together to build a golf facility for the town of Johnsonville and surrounding communities. The goal projected was not to just obtain another golf course but to build one of the finest golf most comple te o n the final nine holes . Al le n Grier of Grie r courses in South Carolina and to compliment the course with modBr other s Construc tion Company holds the plans ·and looks on. ern club house. Grier Br othe r s Construction i s building the addition on the In keeping with their goal, the present Club House which will double the size of the present services of Ellls Maple, one of structure. (P hoto by Todd Scarborough) the best golf architects in the world, was employed to lay out the golf course. The club house and eighteen hole course were surveyed and drawn to scale on the Wellman farm, which Maples considered a natural location because of the rolling hills, available space, and a stream that ran through the property. Leaders of the group applied for and was granted a $120,000 loan from the Federal Government. Because of the large capital out:-lay the plan was divided into the two phases. The first phase to be completed in 1966 and the second phase to be completed at a later time. ....... P HASE II UNDEH CO!'\STHL.CTIO:\ - - Phase II ofti- -Johns onville Country Club is now under construction. \ hen the 1/2 million dollar Country Club is completed it wi ll )e equa l to the best in South Carolina . The course is expecte to offer a r eal c hallenge to a ll golfers . Leonard Drake, P ro at the Johnsonville Country Club, points to where construction is a l- Leonard Drake, a Johnsonville resident, who at the age of 14 was an assistant pro, was chosen to over-see construction and be the first Pro. Having experience in golf course construction Drake was able to create the course exactly as Maples had mapped the entire course. Almost half the club house and the first nine holes were opened for use on June 27, 1966. Mr. Wellman of the Wellman Industrial complex in Johnsonville, loaned an additional $55,000 to the project to further construction of the course and club house. Provisions in the Federal loan prohibited further expansion of the club house or additional work on the last nine holes until some time in the distant future. For a tim~ it appeared that construction of phase II would not be realized for many years. But when the task appeared impossible the Wellmans retired the Federal loan and provided additional money to complete phase II of the Johnsonville Country Club. A $90,000 automatic watering system will be installed before spring. The system, which is the most advanced in the golf world, will be operated by clocks that are pre set. Again when the clocks reach a predetermined time they will stop the water flow and pressure will drop causing the sprinkler to settle flush with the ground. The system will be completely automatic but it will llave manual over rides to stop or start the water when it is desired. One of the advantages of the system according to Drake is that water pipes will not have to be set up each time ''. . • we want to water the C'ourse" . He indicates this would reduce possible dam· age to the gn.·ens which occur on some courses using the manual s ystem for watering. "Also," lie continued, "we can keep the gr~1ss in better condition by applying an adequate amount of water," on the grass at all times providing a constant growth of grass and reducing the possibility of brown spots from dying grass. The 5,800 square foot Club House will have a 1,600 square foot ball room when phase two is completed. The ballroom will feature a changeable floor surface. A rem:>vable carpet will be in place for most occasions, but it can be rolled up and removed in less than an hour for occasions requiring hardwood floors. Adjacent to the ballroom, but elevated above the ballroom floor, a lounge will be built. Persons in the lounge will have a view over the ballroom. The Club House is to have a 12 foot patio extending toward the golf course. Tables and chairs will be placed on the patio which will be covered by the Club House roof. A kitchen will be built in the new portion and will be supplied with the latest in kitchen equipment. These facilities will be added to the already plush Pro shop, Bar and locker rooms. Turning toward the course Drake said, "We may soon have the longest number 2 hole in the world." Beaver Lake, North Carolina ·now has the longest number 2 hole, which is 636 yards. The number 2 hole at Johnsonville is 600 yards and consideration is being given to the idea of increasing it to 652 yards: If this is done the number 2 hole at the Johnsonville Country Club will be . the longest in the world. Hole number 13 is comparable to the number 13 hole inSouthern Pines which is recognized as the best on any course. Maples designed the number 13 hole in Southern Pines. Walking back to the Club House Drake commented, "When we finish we will have a course which is equal to or superior to any course in South Carol ina." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Bighara, "The Bigham case is ended." But, at the initiative of Senator Gasque, after four decades in prison, four years of which were spent in the death house, Bijjham has been removed to Florence for a hearing in the four other deaths of members of his family as a prelude to the granting of a pardon. The case, which started in Jan uary- 1921, when the bodies of Bigham's mother, brother, sister and the latter's two adopted sons were found at th« family home near Pamplico, Florence County. The state charged that Bigham had wiped out his fam ily in order to inherit the extensive BIGHAM TO GO HOME: South Carolina's most fam^d slayer, Edmund H. Bingham, above, is scheduled to he returned to his home county jail at Florence Thursday afternoon. Bigham, a doorkeeper at the State Peniten tiary, has been serving a life sentence since April. 1927. He was twice sentenced to the electric chair lor the slayIng, and his prosecutors said that if he ever came up for parole he would be prosecuted for four other slayings in his family.

The case aroused more sensational interest than probably any in the state's history, and there was violent opinion on both side?. Bigham's chief defense was that the imprint of a bloody hand was that of a left hand and he had no left hand. He contended that Smiley Bigham, in whose hand a pistol was "loosely held," was the murderer. Whether any evidence was adduced to show whether S m i 1 e y * s left hand was bloody is not now apparent. The case also made history when, at the fourth trial, the first consent verdict in a murder case was per mitted, the accused being allowed to plead guilty on the agreement that he would be sentenced to life im prisonment. And now, long since considered buried and almost forgotten, the Bigham case has been dug up again.

"We will have to Investigate the case thoroughly before it comes up," Moore said. He add ed it would be impossible to bring the case before the board at Thursday's regular meeting. The board had refused to con sider parole for Bigham until the four indictments were dis posed of. His attorneys moved for Monday's hearing be/ore Circuit Judge Thomas P.

EADDY • During the Civil War period, tlie community we· now call Johnsonville was known as Buzzard's Roost. The name reflected certain activity which occured at the community's general store and whiskey shop. Gambling .and drunken brawls had given the place a bad name and no selfrespecting woman would enter its environs. But is is said that older male children were occasionally dispatched to Buzzard's Roost to ''bring Daddy Home." Both the character and name of Buzzard's Roost changed in 1870 when a small group of people met with Rev. W. W. Jones under a clump of trees for worship services. The religious revival kindled at that spot was climaxed in July 1872 In the organization ' of Old, Johnsonville Methodist Church. Rev. A. Nettles served as pastor until 1873 when a building was constructed. The site of the new church--the fourth in the area, after Ebenezer at Muddy Creek, Prospect at Prospect and Trinity near Johnsonville--was on the Williamsburg-Florence County line. The deed, recorded in Deed Book NP, pp. 7071, Williamsburg County· Court House, dated Nov. 7, 1873, states in part that "W. J. and Peruria L. Ard his wife for the sum of $20 ... paid by W. J. Haselden: E. Baxley, G. S. B. Huggins, H. E. Eaddy and C. B. Huggins, Trustees ... have granted all that parcel of land situate in the County of Williamsburg ... on the South Side of Muddy Creek, ' bounded by a line commencing thirty five yards south of Muddy Creek Bridge on the Georgetown Road and running East for Eighty fiv.e years thence South for one hundred and forty yards, thence East to the Georgetown Road thence in a Southerly direction along said road to the first i:nentioned ... point, containing one and a half acres .... " One provision of the deed prohibits the use of any part of the land for a cemetery, 'stating, ''And it is ... furiher agreed that there shall be no burial ground on the abo:ve premises." With or without permission from the owners, people of the community were soon burying their dead there, and the Ard Family Cemetery soon became Old Johnsonville. The founders of this church were an unusually able, devout, and ·dedicated group of men. Historically the 1870's were a turbulent and improverished decade, and only such a group as listed above could have succeeded in establishing a new church. The interest of the Haselden family in religion and specifically their devotion to Methodism, were mentioned in the earlier Ebenezer story. · Of the church's founders, Edmund Baxley, born about 1822, was a large land owner who built an unusually fine Georgian house near the present northern town limits of Hemingway. He served the South in the Ci vii War in Company D. Second Regiment of Reserves, transferring to an independent company in 1864 that saw much action in South Carolina defense.

(Henry Edison > Eaddy (1832-1912) had been one of the organizers and founders of the earlier Trinity Methodist Church. He had married Eliza Louisa Ann Huggins, the daughter of John Samuel Huggins and Zilphia Ham . This Samuel Huggins was the inventor of the first mechanical cotton planter used in the South and was ·an ordained Methodist minister. H . E . Eaddy , another church founder had fought in the Civil War and had returned home to his ravaged plantation to take up a career as a surveyor, writer, engineer, farmer and legislator. The Eaddys reared a large and talented family . It was H. E . Eaddy who s·upervised construction of the church . · G. S. B. (George Samuel Briley ) Huggins (1831-1914 ) was an ordained Methodist minister from l!n old and, since early colonial days, distinguished South Carolina family. He, too, had participated in the Civil War and was severely wounded in the Second Battle of Manassas . . His wife, the former Elizabeth Timmons, a niece of Henry Edison ·' Eaddy (above) had the plantation slaves hitch mules to a wagon and berself drove the Jong and hazardous distance to Virginia to bring her husband home to recuperate. His letters to his wife and his mother reveal a man of deep faith . He was lamed by his wounds. A contemporary wrote that despite his lameness, he walked the footlogs across Muddy Creek to attend services at Old Johnsonville. A little group 23 men pledged on July oos 29, 1872, amounts varying from $3.00 to $50.00 to build the church. They were L. R. Haselden , H. E . Eaddy, Thomas R . Grier, S. T. Cooper. W. J .

Old Johnsonville Methodist Church wa s a uniting forc e in a very trying period and helped to weld isolated neighborhoods into a community with some common aims . One charter member said that it '. 'was the beginning of progress in a countryside that had remained dormant since the Civil War ." In September 1896 the families came together for a church festival , its purpose being to raise funds to purchase a piano. Until that time , a ''tune raiser '' had had to suffice at the struggling church . This social event was held at the home of Stephen Haselden in Johnsonville. It was discribed in some detail by Judity (Grier ) Eaddy to her daughter-in-law , Elizabeth (Waddell) Eaddy, who recorded her mother-inJaw's reminiscences in a manuscript that she entitled ''All in a Lifetime." ''The festival was a lawn party and was held at Uncle Stephen Haselden's . Everybody, young and old, went. The women carried their babies. Most people came in wagons and as it was very warm, the babies were made comfortable on the hay with a quilt spread over it. ''Uncle Stephen's house was just across the road from where the parsonage now stands in Johnsonville. - - . • • Continued to Page Z ' George Samuel Briley Huggins G. S. B. Hug~ins was one of the founders of the Old Johnsonville Methodist Church. Huggins was a11 ordained Methodist minister and veteran of the Civil War . oos nee hot supper was served, turkey and barbecue with all the 'trimmings' at fifty cents a plate. Outside in the light of the beacons were stands where lemonade and little cakes and ice cream were sold. These stands were thronged with customers . until everything was gone. It was the first ice cream ever made in the comqiynity and was considered a great treat. ''The ice was shipped up Black Mingo from Georgetown to the bridge 15' twelve miles from Johnsonville and then brought from the bridge by wagon, half a• day's' trip at least. · • ''The ice cream was made from boiled custard, made with cream and eggs. One egg for every cup of cream was the rule. The custard was poured into fifty pound tin lard cans and covered. These · cans were placed in large zinc or wooden tubs, surrounded by ice and salt and vigorously turned back and forth until it· was froze11 through and through. At intervals the cans had to be opened and the frozen cream around the side scraped off the the whole stirred so it would freeze through and through." About seven years later a graded school, the first in the area, was also established at Old Johnsonville , replacing the one-room school of the past.

He was a civil engineer by profession, a hospitable Christian gentleman in his home, and a man of charming manner to all who came in contact with him. He was of unusual vitality, both physically and mentally for one of his advanced age, having celebrated his eightieth birthday in March. The evening prior to his death he ate supper and was in his usual happy frame of mind and apparently in good health as he had been for some time and fell asleep. At 2:30 Friday morning he was found dead. Mr. Eaddy was born and reared and spent his long life in the vicinity of Johnsonville. In his young life he married Miss Eliza Louisa Ann Elizabeth Huggins of Timmonsville, a daughter of the late Rev. J.S. Huggins, inventor of the first cotton planter used in the south. He had represented the county of Williamsburg in the State Legislature several terms. He was first elected in 1890. He was one of the original founders of the Old Johnsonville Methodist Church and Trinity Methodist Church in Florence County and supervised the construction of the Old Johnsonville Church. During all of his public life he strove to render his county efficient service. Mr. Eaddy leaves a widow, the former Eliza Huggins, five sons and two daughters: Messrs. J.A. of Bushnell, Fla.; C.L.of Linden, Fla.; John M. of Kingstree; S.O. of Johnsonville; Dr.A.G. of Timmonsville; Mrs W. A. Hanna of Gifford; and Mrs. R.B. Dickson of Johnsonville. The funeral service, conducted by Rev. E.P. Hutton, took place in Old JohnsonvilleMethodist Church at 4 p.m. Saturday, and internment was made in the church burying grounds. Six of his grandchildren acted as pallbearers. The funeral exercises were largely attended. https://johnsonvilleschistory.org/files/original/03747f1edaf7db7d94d12c262e43806f.jpg e301db74c460ae92e36a2d9627237066 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"K", 6th Regiment, Confederate States Army, commanded by Capt. William Smith Brand, of Sumter District. Source: Morris Watsongen George Samuel Briley Huggins was born June 18, 1831, eldest son of Rev. John Samuel Huggins of Timmonsville, inventor of the first cotton planter used in the south and his wife Zilphia Ham. He was the grandson of George Huggins, one of the largest landowners in the Darlington District who was elected to the 32nd General Assembly and his wife Letitia Montgomery. He was the great grandson of Captain John Huggins, Justice of the Peace for the Darlington District in South Carolina, who commanded a troop of Cavalry in General Francis Marion's Brigade in the Revolutionary War and his wife Elizabeth White Simmons. He died Nov. 28, 1914. His will was probated Jan. 2, 1915 at the Williamsburg County Courthouse, Will Book E, Page 29. He married his first wife, Elizabeth Timmons on March 3, 1853. Elizabeth was born March 21, 1839 and died at Johnsonville on November 11, 1833. Elizabeth was the mother of all his children. After Elizabeth died, he married Emily Timmons Stone Eaddy, a widow and sister of his first wife, on March 11, 1884 at the Old Johnsonville Church. This date was Emily's birthday. After the death of Emily in 1900, he married Narcissa Verline Carter on September 21, 1905. George Samuel Briley Huggins was a trustee and one of the original founders of Trinity Methodist Church. He was also one of the original founders of the Old Johnsonville Methodist Church where he served as a minister.

After the war, he returned to his farm near Muddy Creek, SC and to the ministry of the Methodist Church at Muddy Creek and Old Johnsonville. One of his granddaughters, Lillian Maude Buck McDaniel, recalled that as a child her mental image of God somehow incorporated the characteristic features of her grandfather - the strong but kind face, the leonine head of white hair and beard, and the authoritative tone and demeanor. She describes him at prayer, at home and in church , where he knelt, stiff knee and all, to address his Lord in a manner she was convinced that elicited a readier response than most mortals were privileged to receive. She also remembered that he was so earnest in prayer that he would forget the passage of time and would sometimes have to be nudged by his wife to realize that others wearied more easily than he. At Christmas time, George Samuel Briley Huggins would personally pour the Christmas sillibub - Portion Control! He was known for his good wines,also dispensed judiciously. He enlisted in Co. K, 6th South Carolina Regt.at its organization under Capt. W. S. Brand of Clarendon, on the 22nd of April, 1962. He served with the Company, except for a few months recuperation furlough, until the surrender at Appomattox on the 9th of April, 1865. He was wounded by a minnie ball blasting through his right knee at the Second Battle of Manassas on August 30, 1862. His name appears on a list of prisoners taken and paroled at Warrenton, VA, headquarters for the Army of Potomac, 11th corps, on 29 September 1862. After his recovery at home, he was placed on detached service to the Commissary Department in Williamsburg county and reported to J. B. Chandler. He was lame for the rest of his life. On June 18, 1908 more than 75 family members gathered at his home for a birthday celebration that included food, fellowship and musical entertainment by the children.

The second event was the Jong anticipated Junior-Senior in April at which the Junior Class honored the Senior Class by providing them with "A Psychedelic Trip." Although the formal social events were few, the students found no difficulty in socializing whenever an opportunity occurred - in class, at a ball game, between classes, at recess, or after school.

Posters, signs, and banners often covered the halls and doors in the high school building, and students wore buttons and ribbons which proclaimed "Tank the Tigers", " Boss the Raiders'', or "Scalp the Braves." Students were proud of JHS, and they directed their energies into not only athletics, but into worthwhile academic and social projects as well, to prove their pride. �STUDENT BODY ~\, THE~ GDLDErv_ -!- FLASHES, MarilynOarTis demorutrate•hers<;hOOl•pirit Cheerleade .. ignitespiritatweeklypeprally. ~ I , _/ 1 1 /j /, · II _ The commun:ty supports a winninro team �JeanCh•plinishuinr a hudtimeselLinrtheohakenatafoutballgame Homecoming is such fun!

With major changes and new advances affecting al· most every form of math and science, students faced ever increasing demands not only in school, but in every phase of life. Courses ranging from general math to analysis, which was offered for the first time this year, and from physical science to physics sought to provide student.s with the basie understanding to meet such needs.

While striving for physical fitness, the boys' classes worked out on weights, participated in tumbling stunts, played basketball or engaged in track events. These sports helped to build up forgotten muscles and improve agility. The girls' classes played basketball and volleyball, as well as folk danced. The marching band was the result of many trying hours spent in afternoon practice. The band demonstrated its skill at pep rallies, the local Christmas parades, a February joint concert with the chorus and the Miss Gold and Black Beauty Contest.

Preparation of the day's meals commenced as early as eight o'clock each school day. The first group of students arrived at ten-thirty, and it was often after one o'clock when all finished lunch. Then the staff gathered the debris and cleaned the utensils for the next day. Influencing both students and community by their appearances, the Johnsonville schools' campuses required constant care, as did the buildings.

With the transition from the middle school to the high school, the freshmen found themselves the youngest class once again. At the opening of school , they were often in a state of confusion- lost and even in the wrong classrooms at times. They also encountered several decisions which would have a large effect on their future. Faced with a choice of courses , some decided upon vocation courses that would prepare them for a later occupation. Many of the girls chose home economics in anticipation of someday getting married ; and to produce a basis for future education at an institution of higher learning, others settled upon the college preparatory subjects. The freshmen also took advantage of the opportunity to join the extra-curricular activities that formed a part of high school life. They became active members in many of the clubs and organizations and added their athletic abilities to the various varsity teams. Supporting and adding its share of enthusiasm to the pep rallies, the class demonstrated that it had readily switched its school spirit from the middle school to high school. With these diversified gains behind them , the ninth graders looked forward to new challengestheir freshman mission accomplished. Next year as sophomores they will at least have the satisfaction of being upperclassmen . Freshman Class officers are Eric Tanner, Treasurer; Suzanne Altman, Secretary; Greg Furches, President; and Dale Batchlor, Vice-President.

Consisting of close to thirty-five students last year, the total band membership in the 1970-1971 school year was fifty musicians. Band Director, Mr. William Thayer encourages every student to become proficient on his instrument. Reaching a goal set several years ago, the JHS band learned to march in 1970. Performances at all home games and at several games in other towns required perseverance as the band members exercised marching routines and practiced musical pieces almost every day during the season. The band also boosted school spirit by adding to the enthusiasm of the pep rallies. At Christmas they participated in several local parades. The unit strived to work as a single aggregate at all times, not only in precision marching, but alw with their music. Therefore, a concert in the fall and a joint performance with the chorus in February provided the band with an opportunity to demonstrate their musical abilities. In March the concert band provided the background music for the Miss Gold and Black Contest. Dale Poston, a member of the band, spent six weeks in Brevard, North Carolina, at a summer music camp. Dale attended this camp under the David Mudge Memorial Scholarship. 56 �All those long hours of practice on the football field have really paid off. Dale Poston attended a six·week summer music camp at Brevard College on the David Russell Mudge Memorial Scholarship.

Mr. L. D. Bradley provided these drivers with the opportunities to discuss various problems concerning their routes and monthly reports on mileage, distance, and the average number of passengers carried.

In the fall they presented a program of songs to commemorate South Carolina's Tricentennial. Later their annual Christmas concert conveyed the cheerfulness and peace of the Christmas season. After a joint concert with the band in February, the chorus concluded their year by performing at the graduation exercises.

So that it could better serve its purpose as a link between the student body and the administration, the council established a suggestion box in the lunchroom, and council members encouraged all students to offer constructive suggestions for the betterment of the school. It also sponsored a food sale during large recess to raise money to pay the dues for its membership in the SCASC and the NASC.

SPORTS 69 �FLASHES WIN 7AA It all began on the ten th day of August when boys left their jobs in the grocery stores, service stations and tobacco fields to become men - men who would endure two weeks of the daily double. The cold, wet practices in the morning and the blistering hot afternoon sessions were all part of the game. The battle for the 7 AA Conference title was certain to be a tough one, and the 1970 edition of the Flashes were really not figured in the picture . According to sports writers' predictions, "the Flashes had their work cut out for them in order to place any better than fourth in the league." Very few people were impressed when the Flashes were tied 6-6 by Cainhoy in the season's opener, but signs of future glory were evident when the team took a pair of 21-6 decisions from Clio and the Andrews Yellow Jackets. Then came a 21-0 rout of the Williamsburg Lions . A battle of the unbeatens was in line next , and the Flashes proved their greatness with a 7-6 win over the powerfu l Latta Red Raiders. October 9 was Homecoming and time for the first step on the road to the conference crown. The Socastee Braves were outclassed in that game, 21 -7. Aynor's Jackets were defeated when the Flashes relied on the toe of Bubba Coker and a 27 yard field goal for a 3-0 triumph. Another scare was in store for the Flashes before they spo iled the Hannah-Pamplico Homecoming, 23-22. After falling behind 22-0 in the first half, the Johnsonville forces came back in the second half for their seventh straight victory. Against the North Myrtle Beach Chiefs the conference title was at stake, and on a rain-soaked field a 20-14 decision went to the Flashes along with their second straight conference championship. The game with Hemingway merely put the icing on the cake with a resounding 50-8 spanking of the Tigers. Johnsonville now owned an undefeated regular season to complement what was probably their most exciting football season ever. Playing in the state playoffs was nothing new for a Johnsonville team, but the "men" from Cross overpowered the Flashes on November 13. In spite of the fact that the YOPTION seemed to go as well as usual, the talent laden Trojans rolled up a 28-19 victory . While at the helm of the Flashes, coaches Bob Rankin and Bennie Carter enjoyed another great season and ran their two year record to 19-3-1. Coach Rankin remarked that it was the most satisfying season he had ever coached. Stephen Mudge, Bubba Coker, and Billy McDaniel served as Tricaptains. 70 �CONFERENCE CROWN SCOREBOARD JHS 6 6 CAINHOY JHS 21 - 6 CLIO JHS 21 6 ANDREWS JHS 21 0 WILLIAMSBURG JHS 6 LATIA 7 JHS 21 JHS 7 SOCASTEE 3 0 AYNOR JHS 23 22 HAN AH-PAMPLICO JHS 20 - 14 NORTH MYRTLE BEACH JHS 50 - 8 HEM!

Coach Wallace makes a strong point in the Flashes' 6245 tourney win over Floyds. After the reclassification of interscholastic sports this year, the Flashes found that the 7 AA conference offered tremendous competition. The battle for the regular season crown was a battle to the end, and the Flashes took third place honors in the nine member league. The schedule included games against such tough opponents as Kingstree, Hannah-Pamplico, Rains-Centenary , No rth Myrtle Beach, and Hemingway. JHS's first holiday tournament was a financial success, but Rains-Centenary captured the championship title in the final game. Both Rains-Centenary and the Flashes took easy wins from Pleasant Hill and Olanta until their collision in the tournament's finale. Although the team was plagued by inconsistency throughout the season, there were moments of brightness-a 33 point out-put in one quarter against North Myrtle Beach, a 49-45 victory over Socastee in seven overtimes, and wins over arch-rival Hemingway in both games. The team ended the regular season with an 11-5 conference record and a 13-8 overall slate. 76 �FINISH THIRD IN LEAGUE SCOREBOARD JOHNSONVILLE KINGSTREE 40 41 JOHNSONVILLE FLOYDS 55 54 JOHNSONVILLE RAINS-CENTENARY 81 87 JOHNSONVILLE GREEN SEA 84 45 ... 82 JOHNSONVILLE NORTH MYRTLEBEACH 74 CHRISTMAS TOURNAMENT JOH SONVILLE PLEASANT HILL 69 47 JOHNSONV ILLE OLANTA 87 52 ...

STANDING: Coach Henry Sparrow , Cappy King, Elizabeth Taylor, Ann Ramage, Jannie Allison, Ann Johnson, and Janistine Gasque. A much stronger and experienced squad turned out early in November when Henry Sparrow inherited the reins as varsity girls' coach. Experience and the willingness to work was the key to success for the senior-laden squad. There were a number of changes in the team this season. A disciplined offense and an aggressive defense were evidence of long hours of hard work. After five games, the team remained undefeated, but it met its match and dropped all four of the regular season games to Hemingway and Hannah-Pamplico. At the close of first semester, the addition of 5' 11" Lucille Weaver made a contribution in both the rebounding and scoring departments. Lucille broke into the starting line-up and averaged 13 points a game to lead the scoring. The Lady Flashes' most brilliant performance of the season came when they demolished visiting Green Sea, 79-21. The score was a school record for varsity girls and climaxed the team's most successful season in years . As the regular season came to a close, third seating in the conference tournament and a 13-4-1 record belonged to the team. Lucille Weaver finds no opposition in raking the boards clean against the Lady Raiders. 80 �CARRY GIRLS THROUGH WINNING SEASON Senior players Sissy King, Ann Ramage , Ann Johnson, Mary Francis Durant, and Mary Ann Chandler and LuciUe Weaver , who are not pictured, leave a big vacancy for underclassmen to fill.

A group that was very actively involved this year was the cheerleader squad. Responsible for directing school spirit in the proper channels the cheerleaders were instrumental in almost every team victory. Unlike most school organ izations, the cheerleaders worked and practiced the year around. Perhaps the most difficult part of their task was the hot summer practices. This included a week at ACA camp which is a requirement for every cheerleader at JHS. Each member of the squad had to maintain good physical fitness in order to endure the week of camp and the six months of cheerleading which followed. Jean Chaplin was elected head cheerleader for the second straight year. 84 �EFFORTS BRIGHTEN WINNING SEASON 1970-71 Cheerleaders, KNEELING: Jean Chaplin, Melanie Ward, Debra Jones.

In pre-game warm-ups, Timmy Miller takes a cut during batting practice. Having a strong nucleus from last year's 18-3 team, the 1971 Flashes were strong competitors in the 7 AA conference this year. With strong pitching and fielding, as well as a powerful offensive punch, the '70 Flashes whipped six straight opponents before dropping a 4-3 squeaker to Kingstree. After compiling a perfect conference mark and winning the 7 A crown, the squad reached the lower state finals and then bowed to Edisto in the second and third games of the series. A total of four runs in only three defeats of the season was the margin which marred a twe lve game winning streak. JHS took the opening game of the series 6-0, but the Blue Devils bounced back to capture the title by defeating the Flashes 4-2 and 2-1 . 87 �Senior players Bubba Coker, Glenn Meridth, Kenny Barnhill, and Charles Hanna offer the leadership that any team must have.

Playing together and becoming conditioned for varsity competition was probably the most satisfying goal achieved during the season although the team did register convincing wins over arch-rivals Hemingway and HannahPamplico . As the enthusiasm in varsity football increased this season, so did that of the jun ior varsity team. The JV's worked under their first full-time coach , who took the time to start with the basic football techniques. As head mentor, Henry Sparrow directed his team through a highly successful campaign , finishing with a 5-3 over-all record.

A panel composed of faculty members from the Middle School chose six girls for full time cheerleaders, as well as two alternates, on the basis of personal appearance, ability to perform the cheers, and voice projection. Beginning in September, these girls concentrated on developing new cheers, improving formations, and promoting school spirit. They cheered at all JV football and basketball games throughout the year. In order to obtain JHS monograms on their uniforms, the cheerleaders sponsored a bake sale in the early fa ll . Mrs. Linda Sparrow, who undertook the responsibility of sponsoring the cheerleaders, traveled to all the games with the girls. Mrs. Sparrow experiences a moment of frustration .

The Middle School's office and its library, which Mrs. Lura Poston operated efficiently, served the teachers' needs. Being a classroom teacher for many years enabled Mr. Lane to understand his teachers and to help them find solutions to their problems.

Seventh and eighth grade teachers, with a look to the future, prepared students for the coming challenges of high school. Not only did these teachers contribute to each student's fund of basic knowledge, but they also instilled a sense of social responsibility and a respect for good human relationships. But perhaps most important, they encouraged students to cultivate independent thinking. Seventh grade teachers Mrs. Everleen Lane , Miss Jannie Eaddy , Mrs. Miriam Boulware, and Mrs. Patricia Lambert help students cultivate independent thinking. 113 �Through group discussions sixth grade teachers, Mr. Henry Sparrow, II, Mrs. Lucille Eaddy , Mrs. Tracy Hagan , and Mr. Jonathan Brown, Jr ., exchange practical ideas for improving instruction. PARTICIPATION IS REQUIRED IN ALL CLASSES Participation was the key to success in all classes. Fifth and sixth grade teachers encouraged students by introducing into regular classroom activities opportunities for creative expression. Mrs. Weaver, the remedial reading teacher, first developed a sense of selfconfidence in each student, who then felt free to engage in all learning experiences, and while striving for physical fitness, physical education students gained valuable insight into all phases of a game by actual participation. Thus they "learned by doing." Mr. Benjamin Carter, who also coaches football and track, taught his physical education classes good sportsmanship.

The library supplied reference books, fiction, non-fiction, records, films, and tapes to supplement text materials. The reading department aided students who were reading below their grade level and helped classroom teachers to utilize the latest methods of reading instruction. The special education classes provided students who could not succeed academically with the opportunity to gain the foundation they lacked and hopefully to return to a regular classroom situation. The library, unde r the supervision of Mrs. Jill Chandler, supplements classroom materials. Mrs. Ida Ruth Tune, and Mrs. June Thayer, Reading Speci;list, established the new Help Eliminate Reading Problems program. Mrs. Nancy Owens, Mrs. Mollie Robertson , and Mrs .

For seven hours, five days a week, these teachers were responsible for each child's well-being. Yet they faced and successfully met an even larger challenge - the molding of each individual so that he would become a functioning member of society.

TEACHERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AVAILABLE COURSES . Mrs. Lizzie Thomas and Mrs. Rebecca Lewis enjoy ground duty on a warm day. The elementary school faculty utilized all available resources to prepare themselves to meet the needs of the students. Many teachers enrolled in courses offered by near-by colleges to keep abreast of the changing educational concepts. Others took advantage of the ETV courses, the recently published educational books, and the many audio-visual materials. The result was a closely knit faculty which refused to accept second rate standards. Hall duty occupies Mrs. Anne Venters and Mrs. Merrinell Taylor. 137 �James Alston Janet Alston Brian Altman Briley Altman Dennis Altman Teresa Altman Jackie Atkinson Darleen Avant Tony Baggett Doris Barr Dorothy Barr Ricky Barrineau Elvis Baxley Annette Bazen Joey Bell Mervin Bellflower Joseph Berry Melvin Bobo Allan Brown Betty Brown Freddy Brown Howard Brown Karen Brown Larry Brown Melvin Brown Fernell Burgess Todd Burkhardt Loretta Cain FOURTH GRADE STUDENTS . \ th~ Throughout 1969-1970 school year fo\rth grade student~ · concentrated on improving both oral and reading 'comprehension: English classes emphasized paragraphi1})t.,and encouraged the writing of creative stories with new vocabulary words. Arithmetic classes taught the use of Roman numerals, and for the first time students faceq the problem of long division. Learning to read maps and studying world· geography fdrmed the basis for social studies classes. Fourth graders acquired a general knowledge of how to ,use the library, which proved to be an invaluable aid. It provided all types .of printed materials and visu'itl aids w}1ich supplemented ·textbooks and classroom teaching. With these diversified gains behind them, the fourth graders looked forward to a new challenge thehl: first year at ~he Middle ~chpol. In preparation fo~ the ·Middle· School, fourth grade brings the new experience bf c~.an~ing classes.

They continued their study of phonics as a means of improving reading, and Mrs. Mackey strove to help each child read fluently and with understanding while learning to enjoy different kinds of reading materials. Students faced the challenges of mastering cursive writing and learning multiplication. A study of South Carolina history helped to familiarize members of class with their great heritage. Miss Miller concentrated on broadening each child's understanding of himself and on establishing worthwhile values which would allow each child to make better personal adjustments in family, school and community life. Students practice cursive writing on the blackboard.

Social studies classes made them aware of the many kinds of neighborhoods and the necessity of each individual becoming a responsible member of society. Health taught the rules of safety and the means of healthful living. In teaching reading, Mrs. Burgess Altman emphasized both the comprehension and the interpretation of facts. In the phonics program, students developed skills and abilities for word perception, while in mathematics classes they learned the basic skills of addition and subtraction to the extent that they could work with accuracy. Mrs. Nell Eaddy incorporated the new Distai· materials into her classroom situation in an effort to bring slower students up to their grade level. Thus, the second graders ended their school year with a wealth of new knowledge. Mrs. Nell Eaddy uses the new Distar materials with her class. David Graham John E. Graham John E.

These students for various reasons found it difficult to succeed in the regular classrooms, whereas in the special classes they experienced some degree of success. Since the classes were smaller than regular classes, Mrs. Mollie Robertson and Mrs. Nancy Owens with the help of Mrs. Nellie Poston were able to give each child much individual attention and to supply the basic educational foundation which these students needed in order to return to a regular classroom situation. Mrs. Poston holds the students' undivided attention as she tells an interesting story.

Although facing an entirely new situation, they quickly settled down to a year of gaining the necessary foundation for later grades. Exercises in visual discrimination were a forerunner to learning the alphabet and eventually to reading, while the writing of experience stories improved penmanship and also provided an opportunity for creativity. Two new additions to the first grade instructional program in 1970 were the Economy Phonics Program and HELP, which stands for Help Eliminate Learning Problems. Both programs concentrated on the improvement of reading abilities. Dusting erasers on the old tree is a favorite task and has become almost a tradition.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. To add to the excitement of the night , tile final score was 43 to 16 in Johnsonville's favor. There was , indeed , reason to celebrate at the Homecoming dance afterwards.

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.

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.

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.

In the fall they presented a program that ended with the popular song, "Oh, Happy Happy Day," which brought spontaneous applause from the student body. In observance of Christmas, the group presented a program of seasonal music on the day school was dismissed for the holidays. Spring provided another occasion for the girls to entertain the student body. Finally following a tradition of JHS, the Chorus sang for the graduation exercises.

Therefore, the members assisted in the organization of a Junior Music Club to cultivate an interest in creative music, to encourage service to others through music, and to create courteous and appreciative audiences. The new club held monthly programs, which the members created and presented themselves. (top) Junior Music Club officers were, standing, Thomas Garris, secretary; Dale Poston, president; seated, Trudy Powell, treasurer; and Thornette Cooper, vicepresident.

They helped students, checked in and shelved books, wrote overdue book notices , typed book cards, and operated the various audiovisual equipment. The experience allowed them to explore librarianship as a possible career. (top) Wanda Haselden, Jackie Edgeworth, Movieta Altman, and Elaine Gaster served in the elementary library.

To acquaint themselves with the role of a teacher, club members volunteered to work during study hall periods and after school. The club also supported the fund-raising project for Tara Hall and sponsored Midge OuRant as Miss FTA in the local Christmas parade. (top) Leaders of the FTA were Mrs. Sarah Eaddy, advisor; Trudy Powell, president; Dale Postpn, vice-president; Cerise Eaddy, secretary ; and Midge DuRant, treasurer.

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. (top) Block J officers were Debbie Lane, sec· retary ; Coach Rankin, advisor; Nicky Powell, vice-president; Charles Cantey, president; Tony Hanna, treasurer; and Coach Buddy Wallace, advisor.

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 members, working towards the development of an expressive and well-disciplined body and voice, presented T'he Christ· mas Voice to the student body on December 14, 1971. A bake sale, held on Saturday, December 4, provided the ' money to buy books and props for the performance.

Club members participated in local FFA contests, National FFA Week, and the local Christmas parade. They worked towards goals of establishing ecology sites in the community and landscaping the high school campus. Above all, the group strove to make each young man feel that he was a part of something worthwhile. (top) Advisor Mr. James W.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The program was based upon the theory that an individual can learn more if he is able to progress at his own rate. Therefore, each student had his own prescribed program and did not Jose time trying to keep up with others or did not get frustrated by being forced to wait on the slower-paced members Larraine Allison Gale Altman Jakey Altman Michael Altman Sharon Altman Paula Ammons Pam Barefoot Joann Barr Sandra Barr Diane Belin Teddy Bishop Pam Bobo John Bray Ella Brown Randy Burkhart Ronnie Burkhart Mona Sue Burris Virginia Cameron Mitchell Collins Brenda Cox Franky Cox Wanda Creel Bruce Cribb Mary Ann Cribb Carolyn Davis Lacy Davis Marion Davis Shelia Davis Richard Deas Doris Jean Dennis Pete Dennis James Eaddy Julia Eaddy Mae Francis Eaddy Patricia Eaddy Rosa Mae Eaddy 118 ~~n~e e~::·m'::t:~p~~ee~a~~ :~:ts~u~ report cards were issued in the course.

In addition to learning the location ·of all the large countries in the world, students explored the social structures and living habits of the Americas. Through a study of different forms of government, they became more familiar with democracy as compared to communism. They also learned to form opinions and beliefs about the forefathers of their own country and the principles upon which it is built. in Gary Hanna Eve Hartfield Ricky Hicks Laytpha Jones Russell Lyerly Scott Morris Genese Hanna Helen Hartfield Mark Holder Costa King Mary Mack Kaye Perry Mike Hanna Kathy Hartfield Duane Howard Gay Lambert Selwyn Marlow Larry Phillips Rodney Hanna Lynn Haselden Wayne Huggins Steve Lewis Tommy Marlowe Willis Port 125 Steve Hanna Keith Haselden Martin Humphries Willie Van Lewis Randy Marshall Cindy Poston (top of opposite page) Stacked chairs add the extra height that is needed even though the element of safety is lacking.

The reading classes concentrated on getting students to read critically in order to be able to distinguish between fact and fiction and to interpret the material. On the other hand, the science classes used the periodical Cu"ent Science to keep pupils informed of scientific affairs. But the study of the paper demanded the skills learned in the reading classes. Therefore, science and reading complemented each other. (above) Lunch means standing in line, but in the end it is worth the waiting.

Not only did they face headon the experience of attending a different school, but they also faced new learning experiences. For instance, students encounterec physical education and the new math project, IMS, for the first time . But adjustment seemed to come easily, and each child soon recognized the value of studying and settled down to gain more knowledge .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. (top) Mrs. Rebecca Venters and Mrs. Anne Ruth Venters frequently use audio-visuals aids in their fourth grade classes.

Qeft) Mrs. Veneice Brown and Mrs. Nell Eaddy rely upon charts to help teach cursive wr iting to the second graders. (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. (above) Miss Kathy Scarborough gives private voice and piano lessons in addition to teaching public school music at both the elementary and middle schools. (above right) As elementary librarian, Mrs. Jill Chandler encourages students to read for pleasure as well as for information. (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. (top) Mrs. Dorothy Thomas and Mrs. Rhoda Poston mop the lunchroom each day among their other duties. Oeft) Painting the gym occupied Mr. Cephus Bridge, school janitor, for several days.

Title A name given to the resource Grave of John Witherspoon Description An account of the resource Grave of John Witherspoon (1742-1802), located at the old Aimwell Presbyterian Church burial grounds, Old River Road at McWhite Road. John took control of Witherspoon's Ferry (now Venters Landing at Johnsonville) after his older brother Robert Witherspoon died with no issue in 1787. Witherspoon's Ferry had already been in use during the Revolution, and this spot served as the backdrop for General Francis Marion's commission to lead the militia. John and Robert were both sons of Gavin Witherspoon and Jane James, who came from Knockbracken, Ireland to Williamsburg. John was a patriot during the American Revolution, serving as a private with Marion's Brigade in the Britton's Neck Regiment for 244 days in 1780 and 1781. In 1801 it was ordered that a Ferry should be re-established and vested in John's care. John married Mary Conn and had one child, Elizabeth, who later married David Rogerson Williams, Governor of South Carolina from 1814-1816. John Witherspoon died in 1802, and according to the terms of his will, the ferry was re-established and vested in John D. Witherspoon, executor and friend, for a term of 14 years beginning in 1815, “in trust for and having the sole benefit of the incorporated Presbyterian Church at Aimwell on the Pee Dee River." John's will also stipulated that William J. Johnson be given rights to the Ferry site under condition: "It is my will and desire that the trustees aforesaid or their successors shall give William Johnson the present use of the lands aforesaid the exclusive privilege of leasing the lands aforesaid for a term of 12 years provided the said William Johnson on the wisdom of the said trustees aforesaid shall conduct himself with propriety." It was John Witherspoon who vested the ferry lands in William Johnson, who later established the post office at Johnsonville which became the town we know today. https://johnsonvilleschistory.org/files/original/246329ccf0930ff8c0f95afca3cf9035.jpg b46d045f3cfa188475c6752c0853a0a4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
