Senior Class History One dread September morn, way hack in the year 1926 (A. D).), an awed group of grammar school graduates, or more appropriate, High School Freshmen, with a dazed expression beheld for the first time the vast void ahead of them with the beckoning word "Knowledge"' glistening miles away in the distance, a void seemingly impossible to be filled. As much bewildered as noble Gareth when he became a kitchen boy in the medieval court of King Arthur, surrounded on all sides by a feudal wall, moats, drawbridges, and the like, these brave young would-be knights and ladies, with stout hearts, had taken the first step in their search for the Holy GraiL Instead of Arthur's castle with its walls, they entered Spartanburg High School, bound on the east by a hot dog stand, on the north by Main Street, on the west by Greenville, and on the south by nothing in particular.
With modern King Lowry at the head of the table, the four-year tests, trials and tribulations were begun. The wicked Merlins of the court, in league with Procrastination, Dalliance, and other Faults of the students, endeavored to cut them from the ranks by placing manifold temptations directly in their paths. The enticing wiles of Norma Shearer in the "Talkies," broadcasting at WSPA, Montgomery Building, to say nothing of riding up and down Main Street all afternoonthese and innumerable other amusements kept them in a perpetual state of distraction. Mid-term mental tournaments and finals each took their toll of the less diligent of the laborers. But in spite of the conspiring group in charge of these mental torturesLady Evans, Sir Blake, Sir Frost, Lady Carlisle, Lady Robertson, many succeeded to continue their upward struggle along the tedious path to Knowledge.
Before the completion of the first gap of their journey, they witnessed the various triumphs of their elders and longed for the day on which they would be qualified to particulate.
The older knights could not have rejoiced more over a new tournament field than the would-be knights did over the addition of their new field of battle, otherwise the new gymnasium. Many contests were won on the field, among which the most important was the battle which gave the knights a right to compete for the State Championship in basketball. This contest was won and the opportunity of a trip to Chicago to take part in the National Tournament.
Another addition to the conspiring group, Lady Collins, nee Finley, brought about another change in the kingdom, which resulted in the publication of an annual instead of the final Scribbler,as heretofore was the custom.
In the third lap of the struggle towards their would-be goal another improve merit resulted from the addition of a conspirator, one Lady Cudd. who helped to organize Literary Societies, in which the knights were able to portray their argumentative powers, to say nothing of declamatory and executive abilities.
Musical talent was also displayed in the Glee Club by our knights and ladies (mostly ladies), who won a silver cup to add to our numerous trophies.
The final lap saw many renovations. "The old order changeth. giving place to the new" with one exception our triumphal march continued, whether on the gridiron, track, basketball court, or in the class room.
The State Basketball Champs went to the National Tournament in Chicago, faring much better in the rounds of play than heretofore. Sir Hubert, the Red, revived the old orchestra and moulded it into a polished organization of 31 pieces. The orchestra added pep and zest and inspired with its stirring music many exhausted knights on the field of battle. Among the highest honors of our four years belongs the honor which the Track Team has gained for us. In Columbia, they won the second place in the State meet, and broke some of the State records. In the interim, our Latin Depart- ment, under the able direction of Lady Evans and Lady Pettis, presented several interesting dramatizations in honor of the 2000th anniversary of Vergil. The Scribbler and Annual became two separate institutions, each having grown amaz- ingly. In our officers. Henry Willard. president; Cema Chreitzticrg, vice-president; George Price, secretary; and Grover Eaker, treasurer, we have found able leaders.
The Senior Play. "Midsummer Night's Dream," under the direction of Queen Alexina, who was bound to King Lowry in conjugal fidelity, was an overwhelming success, and boosted our slock to the skies. In a preliminary debate before the Senior and Junior Orders, the four most convincing in their speech were selected to display their wares to the public on the night when the members of the Senior Order would receive their accolades.
Thus the conquest for "Knowledge" continues,sometimes with determination to reach the goal, sometimes with indifference as to the outcome. But as we proceed, let us not forget that "Heaven is not reached in a single bound," and that success will be ours only when we have proved ourselves worthy. And so, may we, the Class of 1930, resolve upon higher things as we go forward.
"Tomorrow to fresh woods, and pastures new."
