But there is one that lingers on--one that stands out brighter than all the others-that of our high school days. It is the sincerest hope of the staff that this book will help to keep alive the memories of that period of time most precious to us--our high school days at Johnsonville High.

Of the forty-five pupils who enrolled in the first grade, today there are only nine of the original members-- Erma Jean Browder, Elton Cribb, Francis Humphries, Jimmy Powell, Judy Ann Powell, Nella Ray Venters, Briley Taylor and Thomas Hanna, Mary Jo Browder joined us in the first grade . She came from Charleston. In the second grade Barbara Chapman came from Trinity and Rollin Jones from Vox. In the third grade Dorothy Cox came from Lake City, Frances Morris from Hemingway and Jerry Poston from Trinity. School bells continued to ring and as they rang for our seventh year Nora Jean DeWitt joined us from Prospect and Ronnie Eaddy from Vox. Jimmy Brock joined us in the sixth grade. He came from Spartanburg. Rayford Altman from Hemingway and Hercil·Hatchell from Hannah joined us in our ninth year. Shirley McManus came from Mullins during the eleventh year. After we entered high school we settled down to try to solve the deep mysteries of algebra, chemistry, geometry and similar subjects. However ; these mysteries were not solved; we are certain we left them mysteries. Under the careful guidance and wise directions of Mrs. Geraldine E. Patterson, Mrs. Burgess L. Altman, Miss Hattie DuRant, Mrs. Kathleen Stoddard, Miss Nancy Benton and Mrs. Ina W. Richardson we completed the elementary grades and entered high school. Now we were re ady for the eighth grade. As was the custom, we were joined by students from nearby elementary schools. John Thomas Humphries came from Prospect; Arlen Prosser, Jimmy Wayne Marsh, Gene Belflowers, Harriette Perry and J?obby Hatchell from Trinity; and Pansy Hanna, Bondal Altman, Bobby Powell, Mary Lynn Atkinson, Isco Cooper, Lloyd Lyerly and James Duffie Stone from Vox. Our class was represented at Girls' State by two able -minded girls- -Barbara Chapman and Dorothy Cox. Jimmy Brock and Ronnie Eaddy represented us at Boys' State. Nora Jean DeWitt and Nella Ray Venters contributed much to the girls' basketball team, which was outstanding and one that had a good sportsmanship record. Donald, Kenny and James Duffie Stone, Arlen Prosser, Hercil Hatchell and Rayford Altman did as much for the boys' team. In football Arlen Prosser rated All-Star and was selected to play in the West Pee Dee Tobacco Bowl in Florence. Francis Humphries, Lloyd Lyerly, Jimmy Brock, Thomas Hanna and Bobby Hatchell took ·part in basketball and football. Pansy Hanna edited the School Fl ~s he s and Dorothy Cox the Gold and Black. Barbara Chapman represented us in the Miss Channel 2 contest held in Charleston and at the Tobacco Festival in Marion. Nella Ray Venters represented us at Coker College at the Colonial Ball, Nora Jean DeWitt was voted Miss Hi Miss while Pansy Hanna with her scholastic average and personality won the DAR Award, The Junior-Senior Banquet was one of the high lights of our high school career. We worked hard to carry out the theme- -Mardi Gras- -and to give the seniors an evening to stand out in their memories. During our senior year we worked hard sponsoring suppers, selling magazine subscriptions, calendar listings, and presenting our senior play in order to obtain funds for the Washington trip. Soon after the trip we were busy with plans for graduation, To those teachers who have so willingly and untiringly labored with us we offer our most sincere thanks. We hope that the success which we attain will prove our appreciation.

Si gned and sealed this thirtieth day of M a y , 1955 . Witnesses: Nora Jean DeWitt Dorothy Cox Fr ancis H umphri es Class A ttor ne y etnss Propltccu As the cab pulled up to the curb I glanced a t my watch and noticed that I h ad only thirty minutes to catch my plane. Just thirty s hort minutes l eft before I would be leaving my pre sent home, New York City. I climbed into th e cab a nd gave th e driver my destin a tion , the Municipal Airport . Looking out the windows a t the t all sky sc r apers I thought, "Dear old N ew Y ork, what good tim es w e have had, that is between m y assignment s as a foreign corre spondent . Oh w e ll , those days are gone!'' I must have gotten lost in my thoughts because bef o r e I knew it we had arrived at the airport and the d r ive r w as helping me out. As I climbed from the cab I noticed that there w as something familiar about the driver's face and when h e spoke I knew that it was none other tha n Carlton P o w ell. H e told me he wa s living in New Y o rk and was engaged to a beautiful girl . He also said his brother, Van , was in New York and was hap pily ma rried . I heard the announcer's voice booming a way, "Flight Ten leaving for Miami in five minutes, ge t aboa rd. " Boa rding the plane I saw that our stewardess w as Harriette P e rry. W e had a long t alk during the trip . She said that M a ry Jo Browder w as the p r ivate secretary to South Carolina's senior se nator, and that France s Morri s and Mildred Earl J oye were both working with the F. B. I. in Washington, D. C. We made a shor t stop in Richmond, Virgini a, and I decided to get a bite to eat . A s I w alked into the restaurant a tall, business -like man came zooming by, almost knocking me off my feet. He turned around to apologize and I imme di a t ely recognized him as Ronnie Eaddy, or I should say Professo r Eaddy . Over a cup of hot coffee he told me th a t he is now teaching at Washington and Lee University. He said that Bobby Powell a nd Bondal A ltman were both teaching at nearby high school s and that Lloyd Lyerly was boxing for one of the professional team s in Richmond. I he ard my plane number being ,called a nd said my good-byes . The next stop we made was in Columbi a, South Carolina. Checking the schedules I found I h ad seve r al hours to kill before my plane left. I w ent to a telephone and dialed B a rba r a Chapman's number or Barbara Dennis, now that s h e h as changed her name . I finally got her and s he said that s h e would pick me up in twenty minutes. While waiting for her I bought a p a per and turned to th e sport s page . The first article that caught my eyes was an account of A rlen Pro s se r' s playing for the Columbia R ed Skins . It seems that after a successful career of college ball at Carolina he had joined the Red Skins . This a rticle state d that Bobby H atchell wa s playing opposite him for the Greenville Bull Dog s . �I felt someone tap me on the shoulder and I looked up to see James Duffie Stone. He was just starting on a business trip to Spain and Rayford Altman was to join him in Atlantic City. They were both working for the Civil Service. He also said that Jimmy Powell and Elton Cribb were working for the Civil Service and were now in France. As it was time for Duffie's plane to take off we did not get to talk much. Immediately after he left I saw Barbara corning toward me. It surely was good to see her. We went to Dorothy and Hercil's horne. They are now married and Hercil is managing Columbia's biggest super market. Lucky for us, Dorothy was at horne. We had so much to talk about and such a little time. Dorothy took out our 1955 school annual, while glancing through the pages we began to talk about some of our old classmates. Dorothy said that she had received a letter from Nella Ray Venters, who is now married to dear old Hot Rod Donald Stone. They have three darling little boys and Donald is now sole owner of S. & S. Milling Co. Nell's letter stated that Erma Jean Browder was also married, and that Judy Ann Powell made the cutest commercial teacher Johnsonville Hi has ever had. Gene Bellflowers, Jerry Poston, Thomas Hanna, Jimmy Wayne Marsh and Junior Matthews are steady employees of Wellman Combing Company and John Thomas Humphries has the biggest cattle ranch in South Carolina. We became so involved in our thoughts that we forgot the time of day. Twenty-five minutes until five and my plane was supposed to leave at five-thirty . We picked up Hercil at the store and again I was able to get some information about my classmates of '55. He said that James Brock, Kenny Stone and Briley Taylor liked the army so well that they were making a career of it and that J.D . Davis was doing construction work in Ohio and that Rollin Jones was a very successful dentist in Savannah, Georgia. He also said that Francis Humphries was the owner of the shooting galleries at Myrtle Beach and that Isco Cooper and Hannah Altman had both married boys from the beach a n d were now making their homes there. He had also heard that Mary Lynn Atkinson was teaching at Columbia Hi after having received her A. B. degree at the University of South Carolina and that Yvonne Poston and Shirley McManus had received their M. R . S •. degrees and that Pansy Hanna is Editor of the Johnsonville News, Johnsonville's daily paper. The car pulled into the airport just a few minutes before flying time. I said the sad goodbyes that always come when leaving old friends. After the plane had taken off and I was comfortably seated I began to think, "This is no time for sad thoughts." I had lived a full happy life and was now going to the biggest thing that would ever happen to me. You see, I'm to meet my husband - to-be in Miami.
